Parsnip seeds

in Fruit & veg
I’ve just received my parsnip seeds for this year. My question is, I’ve always been led to believe you need to buy fresh every year, and always have, but these seeds say sow by 2021, does anyone keep them from year to year?
If not, would anyone like to share this packet with me, I won’t need 1500 parsnips.
They are Guernsey variety, never tried before but thought I’d have a change.

The germination rate does go down the longer you keep some seeds but with 1000 seeds or more in packets does it really matter, I don't propose to plant out more than 20 or 30 at the most in any one year
