If you have unwanted boxes, rather than immediately recycling them please consider reusing as a first option. Mairi at Tissington Nursery is always in need for plant sales so either take them to her when passing or feel free to drop at Rookery House and I will deliver them when I go.
In addition I understand that On a Wick and a Prayer have bought a machine that shreds used cardboard for use as an eco friendly packaging material. So they could also be the destination for our used cardboard boxes.
Thanks Sue H 334

A reorganisation of fixtures in the Tuesday League meant that our planned home clash against Youlgrave was postponed; maybe fortuitous given that Derbyshire was battered by a spectacular storm firing cannonballs of ice down just as the match would have been in progress. Therefore….
….it was a rested Parwich team that travelled to Baslow on Thursday afternoon. It was in fact a pair of ducks that formed “the crowd” and seemed to befriend our players – particularly Penny, after whom they waddled from end to end hardly being able to contain their egg-citement. I formed the impression that we arrived as underdogs and the home side certainly looked formidable in the warm-up, all resplendent in their club colours of red and grey, but we started in fine fettle and, after a short interlude where the light from above was switched off and the heavens let us have it for a few minutes, we finished the first doubles round 10 points up! Inspirational captaincy by John Henbury rallied us to keep going, and our band of two supporters flew in to quack us home, Parwich taking all the singles games to romp to an impressive 140 to 91 away victory and with that go third in the table. (Put our fans’ drinks on my “bill”…)
Thus the Team will be available to sign autograph books either in The Sycamore or The Legion over the coming days… Now we need to keep that momentum going over the following week.

Due to COVID, the key has been left on the bench for the owner to collect.

There is now a big choice of lovely plants and seedlings for sale outside Rookery House in aid of Parwich and District Horticultural Society.
Come and pick up unusual varieties of Dianthus and tree peony; bedding plants like miniature dahlias, marigolds; herbs and tomato plants. There are also currently some good-sized Heleniums. Much better value than the garden centre and for a good cause! With the lack of Open Gardens PDHS needs to replenish the coffers so that it can continue to support other village groups.
You’ll find a jar for donations alongside a bottle of hand sanitiser.
Thank you

Would anyone like to take on the role of poppy appeal organiser for the village?We are very sucessful in raising money for the RBL with our wonderful network of volunteers who sell poppies door to door and are looking for someone to co-ordinate this.This is not a committee post so no further obligation. It is simply a once a year task involving ordering poppies, co-ordinating sales and handing money raised to a regional co-ordinator.
Any one interested please contact Nia in the first instance.
Thank you

Last Thursday (29 April) we travelled to Bradwell for the season’s first away match. On their “interesting” green which twists and turns and rises and falls every which way – and with the North wind howling down the Hope Valley – the Parwich Team battled bravely to a 120-109 defeat; a scoreline that in practice did little to flatter our efforts. The home side were a hospitable lot though, and welcoming mugs of hot, steaming tea were gratefully received to warm the hands after or respective contributions. Such a beautiful setting, I for one will look forward to our return there in the Tuesday League fixture later this summer. (Bet it’s even better on a balmy evening.)
However, if Bradwell was cold, this week’s home clash against Matlock Park began with hailstones the size of golf balls battering the two teams as they took the field – any repeat of this could result in Parson’s Croft being renamed The Winter Gardens! Soon after starting though the sun shone on the righteous and, in a match that was nip and tuck from start to finish, it took a recount to confirm that Parwich were to emerge as narrow 126-120 victors. Both entire teams should take a bow for an exciting afternoon throughout.
Great to see a couple of new faces at the practice session last Sunday afternoon and hope that this may continue this week. The next 7 days sees us take on Youlgreave on Tuesday evening and then on the road again to Baslow on Thursday; I’m sure we’ll all do our best to make the you the reader proud at the next report.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club

Plants will again be for sale outside Rookery House next week onwards.
Sales will be in aid of Parwich and District Horticultural Society to help replenish funds.
Open Gardens would normally be our main fund raiser and this is the second year that we are unable to hold this event. Aswell as subsidising trips and speakers for members, PDHS is usually able to make generous donations to other village groups. By purchasing or donating plants to sell you can help us continue to do this.
Look out for vegetable and flower seedlings alongside unusual perennials. Hand sanitiser will be available next to a collection jar.
Many thanks

Church tomorrow
There is one service and it’s in church, St Peter’s, at 9.30am. It’s a service of Holy Communion which we will celebrate with social distancing. Please bring a face mask unless you’re exempt.
Tomorrow is Rogation Sunday when traditionally church congregations walked around the parish boundaries, even in the rain! It’s a time of prayer for the crops and preparation for the Ascension when Jesus ascended to heaven.
All welcome in church.

It is with great regret that we will have to cancel Open Gardens this year. Covid restrictions have created too many complications for our small committee to overcome alongside a smaller number of gardens able to open. This means that there will be no donations available for village groups again this year.
However, we are hoping to hold a casual evening event in July where we can open gardens for folks from the village.
Definite plans (Boris permitting!) include the Produce Show on September 12th, a talk in October and the Bob Matthews Quiz on November 20th in the Legion. Looking forward to seeing you all then.
Next year is the 70th anniversary of the Society and with your help we hope to have a bumper year!

One day later than normal due to Bank Holiday
Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a Comment »
Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Oil prices rally towards $68 as the outlook on demand improves, and the market expects a major revitalisation for global oil demand from this summer onwards. Goldman Sachs, who have been particularly bullish on oil, have stuck to their forecast that Brent Crude could hit $80 later this year.
Delivery times are 7 to 10 working days from Club order on Monday. Please note the delivery times are estimated and please allow for the May bank holiday adding an extra day to delivery times. If you are low or have run out then this group order will not be suitable.
TIP: Time to check your tank? With a cold bank holiday weekend ahead, have you checked your tank level recently? It is a good idea to make a visual inspection, just to confirm your meter is working correctly – we have had quite a few members reach out recently to say their gauge was incorrect and they were much lower than expected, a quick inspection will rule out any risk. At the same time you can check the condition of your tank for any problems, such sags or cracks.
Rate: £0.3885 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Amongst the items posted on here for sale on behalf of Geoff and Jack Allsopp is this chest. The lid of the chest is inscribed “Sampson Allsopp 1883” . Sampson was the grandfather of Geoff and Jack. Born in Newton Grange, Sampson married Jeanetta Katherine Brownlee in 1885 in Alsop, presumably taking this chest with him to start his married life. Sampson and Jeanetta had 7 children including Francis Victor who was the father of Geoff, Jack and their 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Sampson died in 1929 and Jeanetta in 1938. They are buried here in Parwich.
It would be good to think that there may be someone out there, related to the Allsopps who might be interested in acquiring this piece of family history.

The start of the new season of Thursday and Tuesday league matches has brought varying results for Parwich. The curtain-raiser at home to Wirksworth, played on a warm and sunny afternoon, certainly brought a valliant effort, but despite winning more games we were narrowly pipped to a loss by a mere 3 points, the final score being 127-130. A close encounter throughout indeed.
However Tuesday Captain Dawn Alsopp rallied her troops for Tuesday evening and her intrepid men and ladies replied with an impressive 80 to 47 win over Bradwell. Under the swirling dark clouds that threatened much but in the end delivered only a sprinkle the Team rose to the occasion. Only the plummeting evening temperature had a say and the evening finished with Sue Ash doing an impression of Ernest Shackleton as he set out to conquer the Antarctic.
It’s all great fun, and the Team will welcome new members, so why not turn up to one of the Sunday open sessions and have a go – all equipment can be provided. It is fervently hoped that in the coming months we will be able to acknowledge our opponents with the customary warm handshakes and the offer of a pint at the conclusion of hostilities.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Brent Crude slips back slightly this week to $66 a barrel due to a larger than expected inventory builds.
Delivery times are 7 to 10 working days from Club order on Monday. Please note the delivery times are estimated and please allow for the May bank holiday adding an extra day to delivery times. If you are low or have run out then this group order will not be suitable.
TIP: Remove water built up in your tank – Sunny weather can warm your tank and cause condensation to form. To prevent this causing issues we recommend using a water scavenger which will absorb contaminated water in the tank. It is simple to use, just fix the cord to the tank and drop in the scavenger. Or if you would like to test for water you can purchase a Water Test Kit. For more information please visit The Club Store.
Also, as spring has arrived and nature is now well and truly blossoming, it is a good idea to check your tank visibility to check that no greenery is starting to grow over or around your tank. If it is, please ensure you cut back any greenery that may obscure your tank so the drivers can complete a full inspection and a successful delivery.
Rate: £0.3885 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])
