As most of our readers will already know, over 200 households in Parwich, i.e. the majority of the village, experienced a power cut between roughly 8:30 AM and 21:40 PM yesterday (Sunday April 29th). We were told that this was due to a fallen tree, that had blown over during Sunday morning’s storms.
If you have any comments to make about the episode, please leave them below. For instance, were you satisfied with the way that the situation was handled by the power company? And how did you spend your Sunday? Was it a nightmare experience, or did you find ways of making it fun?

We seem to be in a bit of a ‘win one lose one’ loop at the moment and the lose one is thus far in the same league.
Matlock Tuesday League – Home – 24 April – Bradwell A.
We cannot seem to get going in this league. Last year we started really well and were close to the top, but this year no good. Three matches three losses. Bradwell were relegated from the higher division last year and we could not do anything to win one game let alone the match. We lost all four games and the final result was Bradwell 84, Parwich 51. We must be holding everybody up at the bottom. I just keep hoping that the teams we have played thus far are the best in the league!
Next match – Away – Bakewell 1 May.
Thursday League – Away – Matlock Bath – 26 April.
What a contrast in this league. The weather was appalling and the green is very compact and tricky, but we steamed along! Although we only won one of the three doubles games are points scored were only 4 less than our opponents. The singles games were shared three each, however, our points scored were considerably more than Matlock. The final score was therefore Matlock 124, Parwich 135. Three wins so far out of four. Not bad.
Home – Whitworth Park – 3 May – 1.45pm.
I think everybody in Parwich must be watching some fabulous programme on the TV on Monday nights. Can you let me know which channel it’s on? Still nobody out there.

An article in yesterday’s Ashbourne News Telegraph indicated that Derbyshire County Council are considering turning off street lights in villages between midnight and 5-30am.
The first local village that could be effected is Brassingington that may see its streetlights off through the night as early as July this year. At present the plans for Parwich involve a ‘risk assessment’ to be undertaken in December of this year, followed by ‘community engagement’ in March 2013, with ‘installation’ (i.e. switching off) in May 2013. for more information see www.derbyshire.gov.uk/streetlights .

A huge thank you to everyone who supported this evening. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We raised a whopping £350 for Childreach International and Heather has reached the target set for the sponsored climb. So watch out for news of whether she makes it to the top, and her impressions of her visit to one of the schools in Tanzania funded by this charity. Sue, Mike and Heather H.

The swallows are slowly returning to Parwich. Now look closely at this photo or click and enlarge it, and you can see that JF-S has not only captured the bird but also a daddy long legs. What are the chances of this? Remarkable photography.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
One win one loss this week. A little better than one win two losses last week. Anyway…..
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 17 April – Chatsworth A.
This team got relegated from the first division last season, but they still are very good. We did not manage to win a game. We came close in one game, but lost 84 to 48 in the end. Considering we finished fourth in the league last year we have not made a very auspicious start. Hope we do better next week.
Next match – Home – Bradwell A 24 April 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Did anybody spot last week’s deliberate mistake! Although we won we did win all the doubles games as well as the singles, otherwise our score would have been the maximum 153. We did lose one doubles game. However it was still a great win.
Home – Matlock Park A – 19 April. Having nearly hit the jackpot last week we thought things could not get better. Although we did not win as many games we did score more points. We won the doubles games 62 to 48 and the singles games 83 to 50. The overall score therefore was one better than last week 145 to 98! At this rate we will be near the top of the division. I am sure however next weeks match will bring us down to earth.
Next match – Away Matlock Bath – 26 April 1.45pm.
Still nobody to play with on Monday nights. Is there anybody out there?

Re: Open Meeting
I am writing to you on behalf of Stepping Stones Pre-School Committee to let you know that we are holding the second Open Meeting on Monday 23 April 2012, 7.30pm at The Sycamore Inn, Parwich.
As you maybe aware the Pre-School needs to increase the numbers of children that attend otherwise it will have to close. If you have any ideas that could help us advertise Stepping Stones, ideas for fundraising, claiming grants or can support the committee it would be greatly appreciated. Some items on the agenda will be fundraising, location and opening times.
The Open Meeting means that anyone from the community can attend, again if you have any ideas, knowledge or can offer some of your time to support us, please do come along to the meeting, email steppingstonespreschool@fsmail.net or speak to a member of the committee.
Many Thanks

First photographs of this year’s swallows, taken this morning by Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus, click to enlarge the photo. Bet they wish they were back in Africa – it is freezing outside.
Posted in Ornithology, Photography | Leave a Comment »
The first welcome sight of swallows returning to Blanche Meadow came on 11th April – a few days later than last year. I wonder if the sudden cold snap has delayed them or was it just ours? Has anyone else in the village seen them earlier? At the moment we just have a couple which are usually followed a few days later by the main crowd. The sound of their incessant chattering always evokes thoughts of summer. I expect the next thing will be a sighting of our own familiar species of Fotografus J.F.Sessionatus or should that be Sessionata?
