A big thank you to all who bought or provided plants over the last couple of months. We made an incredible £325 for Parwich and District Horticultural Society. This will certainly more than cover the costs of the talk later on this year.
We hope to have more plants for sale on July 21st when a selection of gardens will open in the village for An Evening in the Garden. Donations of plants gratefully accepted, preferably labelled.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude falls back slightly to below $73 a barrel on news the Federal Reserve said it may lift rates as early as 2023, a year earlier than previously expected, sending the dollar higher. However, strong oil demand and lower U.S. Crude oil inventories are capping any downward trend.
Delivery times are 5 to 10 working days from Club order on Monday. Please note the delivery times are estimated and are subject to weather and supply conditions. If you are low or have run out then this group order will not be suitable.
Rate: £0.3995 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Work has begun to improve the drainage around the tennis courts so that they are not flooded by the spring in the field above in future years. The tennis courts will not be available while this work is carried out. Please be aware that the contractors will be using machinery and vehicles for this work so please do not approach them while they are working.

A “stonking” good win is about the only way to describe Tuesday night’s home bowls fixture against Youlgreave. Results on Tuesdays have been patchy, to say the least, but all came together on this occasion as Parwich stormed to an impressive 81-48 victory. A maximum 84 score from the four games was only narrowly missed on the final game though Dawn and Fran kept us excited with a fighting performance, the scores neck and neck swinging one way then the other, until well after 8 o’clock. The winning wood from Carol of Youlgreave brought rapturous applause from both teams.
On Thursday our form continued. We were back on the road at Matlock Golf Club, the only team that look reasonably capable of catching us as league leaders – therefore a must-win match for both sides. Well it was tight, but Parwich were able to travel home feeling pretty pleased with ourselves after battling to a 123 to 110 win. A bit early to taste the champagne from the Championship trophy just jet but we can start to dream if we keep it up. Stylish celebrations for at least some of us included fish and chips and a pint on the way home!
Next week sees the team travel to Bakewell on Tuesday and then play host to Matlock Bath on Thursday afternoon. Unequivocally more entertainment there than the Nation saw from Mr Southgate’s men last night…..

Plant sales outside Rookery House will end after the weekend.
There are still a few plants in need of a good home, including blue Cornflower, Ammi majus, chives, Spirea and Lysimachia ciliata(a dark leaved perennial with yellow flowers).

Three of the four sheep normally in Bell’s Yard are grazing on Parwich Hill this morning. Not sure if they are supposed to be there as the gate at the Hilltop end of the path is open. Looks like they may have busted through the old gate as a couple of the cross struts are broken.
Sorry I don’t know who’s sheep they are, apologies if all is in order.

Message from the Legion Committee:
Our decision to hold the reopening celebration on the 25th June was based on the hope that the Government Roadmap out of the COVID-19 restrictions, would be lifted on the 21st. We now know this will be delayed until 19th July.
Therefore with regret, the committee have made the decision that we cannot comfortably proceed with the celebration until restrictions are lifted and so this event will be rescheduled until then. A new date will be announced shortly.

…and Food Caddy. However……

 IMPORTANT MESSAGE – waste & recycling collectionsWe’re acutely conscious that bin collections in some parts of the Dales have not been happening to schedule in recent weeks – and we have demanded that our waste and recycling contractor, Serco, produces a workable catch-up plan no later than first thing tomorrow.There are some mitigating circumstances – a national shortage of HGV drivers is impacting not only on Serco locally but also on collection services provided by many other local authorities. However, we will not allow the current situation to continue and will take legal action if necessary to ensure your collections happen as contractually agreed by ourselves and Serco. It is likely that Serco’s catch-up plan will involve weekend working and we will post more information on all our communications channels as soon as we have clarity. We are obviously taking a lot of calls about missed waste collections right now, which we completely understand, but if you could please hold off until we have a catch-up plan to communicate, that would be much appreciated. Thank you – and our sincere apologies. |

Puppies will leave with 1st vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and with a sample food gift pack.
Deposit of 20% is required to secure a puppy.
Ready for their new home at the end of June

..In other words, Tuesday’s match was officially to be played away against Hope Works, owing to their green not being available however the match was played in Parwich. Although deemed as underdogs here we got stuck in thinking we could pull it off. A rattling good encounter, though, saw us eventually beaten by the narrow margin of 73-65. I did note, incidentally, that although the official away side it was Parwich folk that made all the tea. Which brings me on to say that if anyone heard an ear-splitting crash on Tuesday around 7-30 it was only yours truly dropping a wood on the pyrex tea tray and showering the entire pavilion with tiny cubes of glass. Could have happened to anyone….
In the Thursday league we were back at Parson’s Croft where the situation had a rather different outcome; a rampant Parwich side further extending their lead at the top of the table with a 145-95 victory over Youlgreave. We must have played well as a unit as I understand Youlgreave to have some particularly experienced bowlers among their ranks, so it was certainly a result to celebrate. By a quirk of fate from the fixtures organisers the same opponents will be our visitors again this coming week when we entertain them in the Tuesday League. Vociferous support will always be appreciated. Mark J…

The Carnival and Recreation Committee are keen to carry on the tradition of a BBQ at the legion after the Treasure Hunt on Wakes Sunday, serving from 7.30pm, however we have hit two major stumbling blocks!! Firstly the legion BBQ is broken and secondly we have no cooks! We are therefore asking for anyone who has a BBQ they are willing to loan for the evening and even better willing to cook please let me know. The Committee will sort out all the food and be on hand to help with taking money and so on. The funds raised are an essential part of keeping Wakes and other Village events happening so fingers crossed there is a BBQ fairy out there. If you can help either tell Karen W or email me lucywigley@googlemail.com.
Thanks a million

Church tomorrow
Update: There’s been a decision this afternoon that tomorrow we will be holding Morning Prayer at 9.30am, not Holy Communion. The meetings will continue after the service as planned. Apologies for the late change.
At 9.30am There’s a service of Holy Communion in St Peter’s in the village. This will be followed at 1030 by the Annual Vestry Meeting, a public meeting to elect the churchwardens, then the Annual Parochial Meeting for those on the church Electoral Roll. At the second meeting we elect other officers and consider accounts etc. This year we will also have a discussion about the pattern of services in our church.
There’s no Zoom service at 6pm this week.

This is just a reminder that Wakes is only 17 days away eeekkkk! The fancy dress competition will start at 5pm with the judges driving around to your houses or open spaces – just make sure you let me know where you will be!
Floats will meet at 6pm on the Village Green to be judged and then do a loop around the village. Anyone who is in fancy dress please feel free to follow the floats so everyone can see your costumes (please social distance). The parade will then end at the Village Green.
So now is the time to get your thinking caps on and let me know where you will be and what category you are entering (see programme below) either on Messenger or email lucywigley@googlemail.com
Any questions just let me know.

As life seems to be moving slowly back to normal I think this is a good time for me to resurrect the Blog Diary and weekly What’s On posts. If any village clubs, societies, classes, etc are planning events (one offs or regular weekly activities) over the next few months please send us details to parwich@hotmail.co.uk Would be great to get info on Sycamore events as well as the Legion.
Thanks
Steve J
ps I didn’t get anything so far, so the diary is rather empty 😦
