Please spare a couple of hours on Saturday, 10.30-12.30pm
Parwich Parish Council would like to ensure that the streams and ponds in the village are kept clean and clear, this will make them look more attractive and reduce the risk of flooding. Volunteers are needed to help with the clearance; this will help to save money.
Meet at the Memorial Hall at 10.30am. Please wear suitable footwear and bring along some appropriate tools. Children are welcome but must be with an adult at all times.

This year’s Annual Parish meeting took on a completely different format, with the focus on Groups and Societies. It was a very relaxed, informal and enjoyable evening with opportunities to try out some Pilates moves and also have a go at cardiac massage on the dolly with the First Responders. Stepping Stones Pre-School, Bowls Club, Carnival & Rec, Over 60’s, Parwich Charities, History Society, Horticultural Society, Film Club, Fit 4 All, Tennis Club, Parwich.org and the Police were all represented with Council Representatives and the Parish Clerk there to chat to parishioners. Val & Alison from Catering4Parwich kept everyone well fed with a great selection of cakes.

This email has been send in by Derbyshire Police.
We are seeking the views of Derbyshire residents on levels of personal safety, levels of satisfaction with how the police deal with crime and anti-social behaviour and feedback from residents as to whether specific types of anti-social behaviour are a problem or not in their local area. We are also seeking an indication of how residents may wish to be communicated with by the new Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire later this year.
We would be very grateful if you could please take a couple of minutes to give us your views. Please click here.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
What a pity more people did not turn up to see all the things available in the Village at the Parish Annual Meeting last Wednesday. Talk about conspicuous by their absence or what.
Anyway we had our first Club competition last Sunday and the Open Singles cup was superbly won by Dawn Allsopp. In a really good final Dawn Beat Rick Manning. A splendid afternoon was had by all.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Away – 15 May – Whitworth Park.
Our best win of the season so far and two wins in a row now. Whitworth had made a much better start to the season than we have. However, we managed to win three out of the four games, only narrowly losing the forth. The match result was Whitworth 61 Parwich 82 only two point off a maximum. Tough match next week though.
Next match – Home – Ashwood Park – 6.30pm 22 May.
Thursday League.
Away – Chatsworth – 17 May.
Having started well in this league the wheels are certainly falling off in the last two matches. Unfortunately we did not win any doubles games finishing up 23 points down. In the singles we did better, sharing the games three each, however Chatsworth won their games with a better points tally. The overall score in the match was Chatsworth 130 Parwich 97, our lowest score so far. Not sure if next week is going to be any better.
Home – Lafarge, Hope – 24 May – 1.45pm.
Nothing happening on the Green this weekend, however we will be there on Monday night at about 6.30pm.

Dear Everyone
I can’t tell you how moved I was on my last Sunday in Parwich Church when you gave me such a lovely farewell, and such a generous and unexpected gift. I felt really sad to be leaving you all, but I know that our bonds of friendship will remain strong, and I look forward to seeing many of you when I return to the village from time to time. I still feel like a stranger down South, and miss you very much. Parwich will always be a very special place to me, and I shall live on my bank of happy memories.
The garden tokens are a wonderful gift. I have bought some plants, and I am looking for a bird bath which will be a permanent reminder of all of you, and which you can see when you visit me! (This is a genuine and open invitation).
The lovely “New House” cards that I received from you have been decorating my walls ,and keeping me company for the past few weeks. Thank you so much.
With my love and gratitude for all your love and support over the Derbyshire years.
From Rachel

We have received the following message from Paul and Evie Burlinson:
“Hello,
Evie & I would like to put everybody in the picture regarding our intentions for the cricket pavilion. We are hoping to operate a small cafe / tea room at specified times during the summer months this being subject to raising the necessary finance to install a toilet & washbasin which is a legal requirement. As there is no drainage to this area this would necessitate the installation of a septic tank at an estimated all in cost of £2,200. The tennis club have offered an extremely generous amount towards these costs and Emma Spence has very kindly pledged a donation. At present Rob Clarke and myself are striving to remedy flood damage to the kitchen and also carry out new internal decoration (costs up to now have reached £200.00 for materials alone). In addition, there is no hot water and we need a new cooker and catering equipment.
So, ‘why bother’ you might ask… Well, we feel that the pavilion is a valuable asset to the village and its inhabitants and that our project will be of beneficial interest and value to our community. In order to achieve our goal we need some help! We would gladly appreciate any assistance (financial or practical) that you may have to offer. [Please note, we are not intending to feather our nests by any stretch of the imagination but we believe that this project will regenerate what is currently an underused area of our lovely village and maybe even rekindle interest within the cricketing fraternity and more – who knows?!!]
If you are able and willing to help, please call in at the Green, contact us on 488, or speak to Rob or Emma.”

It was a pleasant surprise to wake up to sun this morning, a bit of warmth on the barn will be extremely welcome, clearly they made a mistake on last night’s TV weather forecast suggesting that snow and hail may fall.
Everyone was hard at work when I arrived at the Carr’s barn at 9.45am. Helen and Ann, the real creative masters were busy pricking out the outline of ‘The Good Shepherd’.
From a photograph they create a picture using a range of materials, to achieve texture, depth and almost a 3D effect, and it is not easy.

Although mainly flower petals are used on Yew Tree Well, anything is potentially up for grabs. For Jesus’s hair the Carr children had to have a haircut; real authenticity is strived for. By mid afternoon the sheep were being worked on and a cry went up for wool. Edward disappeared for a significant period of time and came back armed with smelly wet wool. Yes he had just been out into the field, he eventually caught a sheep and gave it a trim.

Click to open the minutes.
Stepping Stones Pre-School would be grateful if anyone in the village has any plant pots, tubs, seeds, or planted seeds/plants that they no longer require and would like to donate to us. This is so that the children can learn about how plants and things in the outside world grow. If you are able to help us please take your items up to the Hall Monday to Thursday 9am until 12noon. Many Thanks.

One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world. Meryl Streep won an Oscar for her wonderful acting in the film. Click here for a review.

A group within the History Society are collecting information on who lived where and when in the village. Please come and share what you know about the history of your home, or look at the 1843 Tithe Map and the nineteenth century censuses.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
Still can’t put two wins in a week together. One win one loss again.
Matlock Tuesday League. Home – 8 May – Matlock Golf Club.
We have broken our duck at last in this league and against a very good team. Although we shared the games two each we managed to win ours by a greater margin. The overall score was Parwich 76, Matlock 57.Let us hope that this will spur us on to the next match although our opponents are doing considerably better than us.
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 6.30pm 15 May.
Thursday League. Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May.
As the fixtures draw very often does it pitched us against the Golf Club again, but in a different league. We have been going really well in this league and were close to the top of the division. Unfortunately we did not do ourselves justice. We lost the doubles games two to one. 37 points to us, 54 to the Golf Club. We shared the singles three each, The Golf Club’s scores were better than ours though. 72 to us and 77 to them. Overall therefore we lost 109 to 131. Following last weeks draw and this weeks loss I think we will drop quite a few places in the league.
Away – Chatsworth A – 17 May – 1.45pm.
On Sunday we are having our first Club competition. Parsons Croft 2.00pm. You can have a go at tennis then come over to the bowling green. Action packed weekend or what!
Don’t forget the Parish Annual meeting next week in the Memorial Hall. We will be there trying to get you to come and join us.
