This article has been sent in by Mike at Flaxdale Apiary who is supporting Derwent Rural Counselling – if you need help with a swarm ring Mike on 390433.
I am alerted now and again by residents of Parwich who have found a swarm of bees on their land – what should they do? Several weeks ago in July I found such a swarm hanging from the branch of a damson tree in my croft. The following describes what I did next:-
1. Obviously you wear protective clothing and use a smoker when you work on a swarm! In fact this swarm was not aggressive or troublesome at all and I did not bother with a smoker; swarming bees are not normally aggressive because they are engorged with honey. I laid a white sheet on the ground below the swarm covering as wide an area as possible.
2. Using a skep (a woven straw basket shaped container used by beekeepers) or a cardboard box which is what I used, I placed the opened box immediately underneath the swarm with one hand and with the other I shook the branch onto which the swarm was attached and most of the clump of bees fell into the box. You have to be quite skilful manipulating the box with one hand and shaking the tree branch with the other! This is even more difficult if you have to mount a ladder if the swarm is on an upper branch. A pair of secateurs is useful if you have to cut a stem off a branch.
3. Then I placed the box with the bees inside it on the white sheet on the ground with the opening to the box on its side just open enough for the bees to enter the box. There were lots of other bees which had fallen on the white sheet and others flying around. I used a feather to sweep the other bees off the branch. You want all the bees to end up in the box!

Enormous congratulations have to go to Catherine Bunting, she achieved 5 A*s in her A levels yesterday and confirmed her place at Cambridge where she is going to study Natural Sciences. Most appropriately she will be at St Catharine’s College.
Good luck, now the pressure is off, enjoy the rest of your summer holidays!

Today the planting was completed (well almost) at the Memorial Hall. There are 8 plants outstanding, which will be planted when the grass seeding is done in September. All bar one of the beds has been muched and this final one will be covered over the weekend, once we have planted the hundreds of snowdrops that were donated by different people in the village.
It is super to see the final phase completed ready for the Official Opening on the 25th September, to which everyone is invited. Again a huge thank you has to go to the Horticultural Society for their massive financial contribution towards the planting and to those individuals and groups that donated the 5 trees.

Now the hall is finished, any bits and pieces that were being rehoused during the build can be returned, if you have things like tables, chairs, crockery etc please either drop them into Janet at the Pub or give her a ring on 212.
The landscaping of the hall will be done tomorrow. The landscaping company, Pople will be out about 8.30am and planting will take much of the day. It would be greatly appreciated if people could avoid using the car park.

PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 10 August 2010.
Tuesday League – Home – Bradwell.
Bradwell are just 20 points behind us in the league. It looked as though we were going to do very well after the first game, but in the end we only won one game to Bradwell’s three.
However, we did not lose indeed we each got 66 points – a draw.
Because of last week’s great win and teams around us this week not doing so well we have moved up to fourth place in the league.
Next match – Away – 17 August – Ashwood Park 6.15 start.
Thursday League.
As mentioned last week we did not have a league match, but played in the Greenaway Charity game at Wirksworth. The Greenaway Workshop is for disabled people.
The turnout was a record with 26 pairs taking part in Wirksworth and 24 pairs in Whitworth Park.
Parwich members have had quite a bit of success over the years and this year was no exception, with Ian Johnston winning the Plate tournament. Ian only joined us this year and although he has played a little ‘flat green’ bowls up until coming to live in Parwich, he had never been on a ‘Crown Green’. A great achievement, many congratulations.
In addition to Ian’s great win the Charity will have well in excess of £1000 to put into their funds.
Next match – Away – Whitworth Park – 19 August.

Since we have stopped doing a regular feature on the Ashbourne News Telegraph, they have altered how they put out their e-edition. You can still see it on-line but you have to subscribe (55p per edition or £20 for a year, click here for more details). Some of the articles are still posted for free access on their main news page. And you can always get a paper copy from Janet in the Pub for 55p.
Though we have stopped doing the weekly post it is still our intention to point out any articles of local interest, and there are several photographs of familiar faces in this week’s edition:
- p. 5 A feature on Ian Pitts metal detecting survey of Parwich and Alsop. (Click here to see the photo of Ian.)
- p. 5 An article on the Parwich Panoramic Five fell race
- p. 21 An excellent photo of The A52s performing at the Ashbourne Breast Cancer Walk at Carsington Water.

Over the summer I have noticed many young people, several fathers and other adults playing football on the football pitch. Unfortunately there is only one tatty net and the other ‘goal’ is just a pile of stones. Could I suggest that perhaps some interested person might like to see if they can be provided with new nets – perhaps through the Parish Council, Wakes Committee or with a Sports Grant? It is great that our village families are so active and it would be good to encourage them.

There are just 3 1/2 weeks to go before the Horticultural Show on Sunday 5th September. Over the next week we will be publishing details of the different classes. Remember if you are a jam or chutney maker, get picking now. Below are the new, novelty classes, so the men can start practising their trifles and all photographers can start snapping.
It’s a local event, which is just a bit of fun, but hardwork goes into setting it up, so please do support the day, either by entering or by buying the produce at the auction.

If in doubt, email parwich@hotmail.co.uk and the Team will pass on any queries. The photographer will send proofs before you commit to ordering photos.

There will be an interruption to the water supply to Parwich this week for mains cleaning (Severn Trent ref DMA 14-122). The notice I received (on the Green) stated the following times:
- Tuesday 10th August: from 9pm to 6am
- Wednesday 11th August: from 9pm to 6am
- Thursday 12th August: from 9pm to 6am
Do let us know (via parwich@hotmail.co.uk or in a comment below) if you have different days or times, and how large an area is involved. Last time there was an interruption to the supply not everyone got a letter. If your water is cut off beyond the notified times or you are not give 48 hours notification of scheduled work you may be entitled to compensation. Severn Trent can be contacted on tel. 0800 783 4444, for more information.
While the water supply is disrupted Severn Trent say not to try to use any mains water, including flushing toilets and hot water. So you will need to set up emergency supplies. One option for flushing toilets is to fill the bath in advance with cold water and then use buckets to flush the toilet. Do you have any other useful tips?
PS Be careful not to leave any taps turned on during the interruptions. Last time at least two households were flooded as a result of this with the water coming back on in the middle of the night at higher pressure.

The increased entry this year (107 runners in the senior event and the junior events more than doubled) has had a positive effect on the money raised from the race evening from £ 313.00 in 2009 to £ 448.55 this year, which will go toward the Memorial Hall as it did last year. It is envisaged that this will go towards display boards, for use by Stepping Stones and other groups.
There are so many people to thank that it would be a difficult task to list them all, but special thanks go to all the marshals, the first aiders, the ladies on registration who kept working on the timesheets long after the race was over, all our roving photographers and Sandra who organized a raffle which raised £65.00.
We received a lot of positive feedback from the runners who commented on the quality of course marking, marshaling and slick registration. Thanks to all – we are already looking forward to next year.

PARWICH BOWLS CLUB – Week commencing 2 August 2010.
Tuesday League – Home – Baslow.
Baslow are second in the league and we never seem to do well against them. However, things changed this week. The maximum points you can get in this league is 84 ( 4 doubles first to 21). So far our best had been 81, this week we got a full house. On top of this resounding score we restricted Baslow to only 36 points. Well done to all concerned. Let us hope we don’t come down with a bang next week.
Next match – Home – Bradwell 10 August 6.30 ish.
Thursday League – Home – Chatsworth.
Chatsworth always have a good game against us. In the doubles games we only won one out of three. The singles games, however, came to our rescue winning 5 out of the six games.
The total score being 120 to Parwich and 109 to Chatsworth.
No match next week in the Thursday League. The day is given over to the ‘Greenaway’ tournament. This is an annual game where all members of the league get together either at Wirksworth or Whitworth Park to play this Charity game. The tournament has been going for a considerable number of years and has raised thousands of pounds for the Greenaway Centre.
Let us hope that the weather keeps fine and we raise lots more cash.
On Sunday we play our last club match. The Round Robin. It starts at 10.30am. Why not come down have a look.

Over the past few weeks sheep keep appearing on the B5056, but today Pennie B has sent a comment in. I don’t know if anyone has reported this, but it could be quite a hazzard, and not just to the sheep!
Lots of sheep out on the road from Bradbourne to the main road this morning!

Please note that signs are up reporting a further planned closure of the A515 between Fenny Bentley and Sandybrook tomorrow Thursday 5th August 2010 – 6pm to 6am.
To avoid this you will need to go via Nether Bradbourne/Kniveton or via Thorpe.
I did note today that our brilliant new section of the B5056 is worryingly starting to develop some potholes along the edges of the road on both sides, though more markedly on the south bound lane. So take care.
