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 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.

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.
