Home Advantage Counting for Little – So Far!
This time last year I wrote: “The last vestiges of winter have been defenestrated, young birds are hatching, lawns are being mowed again.” This year however I can no longer cast the mind back to three consecutive days without rain! Under the circumstances wonders have been worked to get the green ready for the bowls season and John should indeed take a bow for doing so.
Not an auspicious start, though. We began the Thursday League season with a home encounter with last year’s League champions Tideswell. They didn’t gain that recognition without reason and humbled us somewhat, making it clear that we’ll need to work hard to remain in the newly attained status of Division One.
On Thursday this week we were due to visit our old friends at Bakewell, but necessary maintenance to their playing surface dictated that our fixtures against them this year be switched. Therefore the match was played at Parwich, in Arctic conditions I may add, but enforced “home” advantage was not taken and we were again left to lick our wounds at the finish, albeit by a mere 5 points this time.
Other teams will no doubt be in similar boats with Bakewell at present, so it’s quite possible that they will be left to play the second half of the season on the surface they know so well.
However the season is a marathon and not a sprint. We’ve seen what we’re up against and will put things right. We’ll approach each game with all guns blazing and I’m sure can rise up that table and be there or thereabouts come the latter stages of the campaign. Vagaries of the fixtures calendar mandate that we don’t play away from home until the first Thursday in May, as the Tuesday League season starts with home match against Hope Works tomorrow night (23rd April) and then an “Away” visit to Bakewell on our own patch…
2nd May we will incur petrol costs for the first time with a day out to Belper.
Support would be most welcome as we recover the iffy start and strive to bring the silverware home – but suggest you bring a raincoat! Like and follow us too on Facebook/Parwich Crown Green Bowling Club

Today we welcome Sheffield DA who are camping on Parson’s Croft and attending the St George’s Day celebrations tomorrow. Every effort is being made to keep vehicles on the drier parts of the grass to minimise any damage to the cricket outfield. Some vehicles may be accommodated on Parsons Croft car park if there are concerns about getting them on and off the grass.

Site preparation of the playground for the installation of new equipment has started and should be finished in the next few days. This will be followed by installation which we hope will take place by the end of the week. The fencing around the new equipment will remain in place until the cold pour surfacing is laid. This should happen next week but the exact date is dependant on weather as the ground needs to be dry.
Please don’t be tempted to try anything out until it is finished!

I don’t suppose anyone signed for a large Amazon parcel yesterday for Richard Maddocks. It was signed for by Mr Jim at number 1 but no one at West View signed for it and there is no sign of the parcel (it is big!). If anyone knows anything can you let Lucy M know on 07728988329

April Parwich Film Show ONE LIFE
You’d need a heart of stone not to be touched by this extraordinary true story of Nicholas Winton, the “British Schindler”, and by the simplicity and heartfelt directness with which it’s told by screenwriters Nick Drake and Lucinda Coxon and director James Hawes. It’s a story of wartime Europe and postwar memory, and also a noble and inspired moment in the history of British popular TV. London broker Nicholas “Nicky” Winton helps rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in a race against time before the Nazi occupation closes the borders. Fifty years later, he’s still haunted by the fate of those he wasn’t able to bring to safety.
Starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Bonham-Carter
