Thank you to Jill L for this helpful information.
Just heard that Chatsworth Horse Trials is cancelled due to waterlogged course, just in case anyone had planned a day out there like I had! Jill

Not only is the weather gloomy and hit and miss, so is our bowls matches. We do need new players to try to get us kick started. One loss one draw this week.
Matlock Tuesday League. Away – 1 May – Bakewell.
This is getting very predictable, we lost. Having said that based on past performance this was not as bad as it could have been. We won two games and Bakewell won two. Unfortunately our losses were heavier than theirs. The final result was Bakewell 79 Parwich 64. Bakewell are second in the division and we are second bottom. About right really, our form in this league will hopefully improve.
Next match – Home – Matlock Golf Club – 6.30pm 8 May.
Thursday League. Home – Whitworth Park – 3 May.
A very unusual result this week, no winner no looser, but a draw. We did not win any of the three doubles games which left us 32 to 63 behind. Our six singles players however came to the rescue giving us a score of 80 to 49. The overall result therefore 112 points each and it did not rain! Up to the start of this match we were second in the division so this score may drop us down a place or two. The fixture list has us playing another home match next week and as these things sometimes work out we are playing the Golf Club again. We had a supporter this week cheering us on. Well done Ron Twigg. Good to see you at the bowling green.
Home – Matlock Golf Club – 10 May – 1.45pm.
So apart from Ron the whole of Parwich is still watching the idiot’s lantern. Did not think the license fee was that worthwhile. See you ‘not’ on any match day or on Monday nights at 6.30pm ish.

The aim of our e-forum is to make it easier for you to have a say on priorities. Simply reply to this email by clicking here and tell us what you would like your team to target. Continue Reading »

The current TV and Radio news weather items has prompted me to look back at April over the last few years. Without doubt April 2012 has been a little on the damp side, certainly more than a heavy dew! It is interesting to see the wide variation over the same month in different years – 18mm in 2007 and 132 mm this year.
Thank you to the Weatherman on the Hill.
