This wonderful British comedy tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf before.
With pluckiness and unwavering self-belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process.

Another Crown Green Bowls season has come to a close, and woods throughout Derbyshire will have been cleaned and lovingly stored in understairs cupboards to sit out the long winter ahead.
Unquestionably it has been a campaign of mixed fortunes for the Parwich Team. Our better displays were in the Matlock and District Tuesday League, finishing fifth out of ten teams with a record of twelve games won and six defeats. Skipper Dawn found pairings that worked and largely stuck with them, and it’s fair to say that there were some notable nail-biting tussles along the way. Some matches finished with extremely tight winning (or losing) margins and I’m sure I speak for most when I say there were a few “If only’s” along the way. A couple of matches that stick in the memory were away at Bradwell and the evening that we hosted our old friends from Wirksworth, these both went to the wire and brought out some fulfilling performances. I shall indulge myself by mentioning the game at Youlgrave, for despite the Team ultimately losing on arguably the most difficult surface at the best of times, striking fear into the hearts of visiting teams, my partnership with Tony produced a moment of great pride as we came from behind to triumph against the odds to feel that we’d played our part, (though I do wish they wouldn’t serve the tea in Co-op Funeral mugs…!)
The Thursday League, though, brought contrasting fortunes. It was July before we managed to score our first victory and ultimately only won three of the twenty matches in the schedule, thereby losing our status in Division One that we strove so hard to win the promotion into last year. Exactly what went wrong can only be put down to being “One of those things,” and I am sure that with the right motivation we will enter the arena next term in a refreshed state of mind ready to leave no stone unturned in the fight to regain our rightful standing.
Yet the season was not just all about league action; we did enjoy a very successful Club competition which took the form of Rolling Pairs, a format to which many of us were previously unaware but was hugely convivial and entertaining. The rules unfolded as the afternoon wore on, as did many trays of sandwiches and cakes, and at the end of it all winners Sue A and John H were presented with a most splendid cup.
Nevertheless it was all fun. The feeling of being part of a team competing to win is surely unrivalled; along the way visiting hidden corners of the Peak District that holiday adventurers may never see and discovering gems of watering holes on journeys home, reflecting on battles won and lost, but always with a satisfaction of having given one’s best. All that remains now is to paint Parwich red at the end of season Bowls Lunch, and then it’s roll on next season, for those woods can’t stay hidden in the dark for too long, you know….. (Mark J)

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude back over $98 a barrel this week as OPEC+ announced the biggest cut to its collective target since 2020, slashing the production target by 2 million bdp (barrels per day). Estimated delivery times are 5 to 10 working days. Delivery times are only an estimated delivery time. Please allow plenty of time for your order to be delivered.
TIP: Pre-winter preparations:- Going into this winter there are a few tips and tricks you can do to ensure your oil and heating is running as efficiently as possible to help keep your costs as low as possible:
– Bleed radiators – if there is built up air in your system you will be burning fuel to heat your house but the radiators may only be functioning at 50% heat capacity.
– Upgrade your oil to Premium Heating Oil – Additive will help your oil run more efficiently and therefore last longer, it will also clear pipes of build up and break down any sludge sat at the bottom of your tank. Additives can be found in our Club Store. Please note: if you have an AGA or wick based cooker you will need the Cooker Additive.
– Remove water in your tank – water occurs naturally overtime and aside from taking up valuable space in your tank, if sucked into your system can cause real problems, usually resulting in expensive servicing fees. You can find a variety of water scavengers in our Club Store to resolve this.
Rate: £0.9095 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
OPEC+ output cuts are looking increasingly likely which is pushing Brent Crude up to $88 a barrel this Friday, despite slowing economic growth and looming recessions. Estimated delivery times are 5 to 10 working days. Delivery times are only an estimated delivery time. Please allow plenty of time for your order to be delivered.
TIP: Pre-winter health checks:- We recommend spending a few minutes this weekend giving your tank a health check before going into the winter to reduce the chance of any issues occurring in the colder months ahead that could leave you without oil: 1) Visual inspection – check your tank for any signs of bulging, sags, holes or cracks occurring; ensure the base is sturdy/adequate and that the tank doesnt overhang the base in any areas; and ensure 3 sides of the tank are accessible for safety checks, as suppliers could refuse to deliver your oil for any of these reasons. 2) Check your gauge is correct – if you have a gauge, do a manual dip test by dipping a clean stick or rod into your tank until it reaches the bottom to ensure the gauge is reading correctly against what you can see the level of the oil is against the rod or stick. We often hear of faulty gauges causing members issues as they think they have a lot more oil than they actually do. 3) Test your heating system – it is a good time to test your central heating to check it hasnt developed any gremlins over the summer. And if you havent already, its worth getting your boiler serviced to ensure it is at full health going into its peak usage months.
Rate: £0.8397 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Downton Abbey: A New Era is the sequel to the hugely popular 2019 Downton Abbeymovie, which itself was a spin-off from the legendary TV series.
Fans will be delighted to know that all the main cast are back for the Downton Abbey sequel, including Dame Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, and Elizabeth McGovern. Plus a string of new cast members including Dominic West.
The film takes the Crawley family to France when the Dowager Countess of Grantham gets a French villa to her name after the demise of a marquis who she had a fling with in the late 19th century. The entire Crawley family, who initially takes the whole thing as a joke, is invited to the villa by the son and wife of the dead nobleman. After arriving in France, Robert uncovers a family secret that turns his world upside-down.

As many of you may know, our Ukranian guests have returned to Ukraine. Initially they went back to sort out documentation that was impossible to achieve from here. Since their return, they have felt relatively safe at home and have decided to stay there for the time-being.
If they decide to move on to another country, they will go to stay with family in USA.
We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful warm welcome that you gave to them and also for the huge amount of practical help that so many of you kindly offered and gave to them. While there were many logistical difficulties living in a village with limited transport they could not have been more warmly welcomed by you all.
Thank you
Paul and Caroline
