Pilates will be on Tuesday 31st July and NOT Monday 30th at 7pm – the timings will remain unchanged.
Hopefully all class members will all be able to attend. The day has changed so that Mike Goulden’s wake does not have a time restriction.
I have also arranged two summer classes on the 6th and 13th August starting at 6.30pm. Thanks Sue P

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
Well at least we managed one match in the dry. Although can we expect more sun filled games in the future? Two losses this week, but both matches were against teams either top or near the top of the leagues.
Matlock Tuesday League – Away – 17 July – Bradwell.
As I have said in the past the venue at Bradwell is quite spectacular, particularly when the sun shines. Fortunately it did for the match albeit the result was not sunny. Anyway we did not managed to win a single game, but still achieved a reasonable score. Bradwell after all are top of the league by quite a margin. The result was 84 to 67 to Bradwell. Possibly drop a place in the league.
Next match – Home – Bakewell – 24 July 6.30pm.
Thursday League – Away – Whitworth Park – 19 July.
Although the final result was a loss we again scored reasonably, particularly in the singles. We won one doubles game, but the score was 61 to 48 against. In the singles we shared the games three all, but still lost 74 to 72. Overall the match was 135 to Whitworth, 120 to Parwich.
Next match – Away – Matlock Golf Club – 26 July – 1.45pm.
Another friendly this Sunday against Hazelwood. Looks like the sun may shine a bit as well.

New press release from Derbyshire County Council.
LOVE FOOD HATE WASTE OVER SUMMER
Every month UK households each throw away an average £50 worth of food that could have been eaten. Wasting food also harms the environment and contributes to climate change.
Food lovers are being urged to visit a website which features tasty tips for using leftover food when having get-togethers over the summer. Derbyshire County Council is urging families to make use of tasty food or leftovers already stocked in cupboards, fridges or freezers over the summer months. Councillor John Allsop, cabinet member for technology and recycling, said: “We’re urging people to check out our website full of great ideas on how to prepare meals using leftover food.”
Some of the recipes you’ll find include:
- A Quick Use-Up Pizza using leftover cheese and any favourite toppings you might have in the fridge.
- Olive Tapenade Toasts which turns leftover bread into something more interesting.
- Crispy Chicken Skewers which use a crispy coating made from leftover cheese and breadcrumbs made from slightly old bread.
For full recipes – and other great ideas for cutting down on food waste – go to the Love Food Hate Waste page of Derbyshire Council Council’s website. The recipes are in the “related documents” section near the bottom of the page under the title “recipes for special get-togethers”. For lots more recipes for all occasions check out the Love Food Hate Waste website.

Parwich singer-songwriter Hazel B from Hallgates will be playing at the Y-NOT festival on the Friday. At last year’s festival, Hazel performed a great set on the open-mike stage. She was then booked by the organisers to be on the main bill this year.
Some of Hazel’s new songs will shortly be available for free download by readers of PARWICH.ORG.

Hopefully this post is just academic and there will be no threats of flooding in the village. It is important to watch the stream at its various choke points as these spots get very easily blocked with debris including broken branches and plastic. Fortunately these areas were cleared in May by volunteers; one section was almost totally blocked!
The Flood Protection Agency has just launched their new website, and with numerous flood warnings currently in force across the UK it aims to provide a lifeline to individuals and businesses looking for a single source of flood related information, latest flood warnings and a special helpline.
As well as guidance on how to protect a property, types of flooding and how to assess a flood risk, importantly the site recommends trusted, accredited suppliers of all types of flood protection products and specialists in flood risk assessment surveys. All FPA members comply with the association’s code of practice as a sound guarantee to customers of the highest standards of quality, integrity, safety and reliability. This means their flood protection products are quality assured and, where appropriate, are Kitemark certified as a symbol of trust. In particular, the site features two illustrations of a home and a commercial property – by hovering over water entry points, a list of product providers pops up with a link to members and how to contact them.
For more information, visit their website or contact the FPA helpline on 033 33 23 8701.

Tickets are still on sale for this year’s Y-Not Festival, which takes place from Friday August 3rd to Sunday August 5th at the usual location in Pikehall. The festival has expanded since its early days, with several indoor stages, an acoustic tent, an excellent beer tent and much more besides, but it still retains its friendly, small-scale atmosphere. As the organisers report that they are now close to selling out, swift action is recommended for those who might be interested.
Click here for the Y-Not Festival website.
Update: Also performing at Y-Not, in the Hog & Barrel tent at 7pm on the Saturday, will be Parwich’s very own The A52s.

David Goulden, ( referred to by Mike as “our kid”) asked us to post the following :
As an occasional overseas visitor, can I use the website to say thanks to the village for its kind support in the last couple of days following the death of my brother.
It came as a great shock – as I guess it did to many of you – but it was especially painful to be far away in Vienna and to know nothing.
Generously, several people have taken the time to e-mail me and the information has been of great comfort.
Mike was a simple guy who liked the simple things in life – community, integrity and purpose. His was a good life, well-lived.
His funeral will be on July 30 in Derby.
Emails for David Goulden can be sent to parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we will forward them to him.

As many of our readers will already know, Mike Goulden passed away very unexpectedly this week. He went into hospital on Tuesday and died in the early hours of Thursday morning.
He was very well known to everyone in the village for the hard work that he put into keeping the shop going for a number of years and his involvement in the community in general. Most recently he was very active with Dales Housing and was a Committee Member for the Local History Society.
It seemed appropriate for us to put this note on the Blog today, as Mike has been a staunch supporter of Parwich.org and a regular contributor with photographs (including the one above) and comments; every Sunday as ‘our Weatherman on the hill‘ he supplied us with the Weekly Weather stats.
Our sympathy goes out to his brother, David and to his family and all the friends that he leaves behind. We will supply further information when we are able.

Parwich Crown Green Bowls Club
Two wins this week and one against a team who are second in the division. Still no let up in having to play in fur lined wellies most of the time though.
Matlock Tuesday League.
Home – 10 July – Chatsworth.
Chatsworth are nearly top of the league and soundly beat us on their green earlier in the season. However, we were able to take our revenge on our green. We won three out of the four games. Although we have managed to win a few games now we have not been scoring heavily and in the league its points that win prizes. Anyway a win is a win and we did it by 73 points to 58. We were exactly half way in the division and I don’t think we will move up from there.
Next match – Away – Bradwell -17 July 6.30pm.
Thursday League.
Home – Matlock Bath – 12 July.
Matlock were one place below us in the league before this match and the result will keep us there. We won two out of the three doubles but were still behind 45 to 48. Again our singles players did really well winning four out of the six games giving us an overall win 119 to 111. I think this win will keep us in our middle place in the league. To cap it all the sun shone as well!
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 19 July – 1.45pm.
We have a friendly match down at Parsons Croft this Sunday, we are entertaining Ashbourne Park. Come along and have a cup of tea with us all. 2.00pm Sunday.
