Save money on the cost of heating oil and help oil companies make most efficient use of delivery lorries.The Community First Oxfordshire (CFO, formerly ORCC) Oil Buying syndicate brings communities throughout Oxfordshire together to make the most of joint buying power. Not only do you get the best price, but the oil companies can make the most efficient use of delivery lorries (and fewer journeys to a particular community helps the environment).
Members of the scheme have the advantage of knowing that they are getting a competitive price without the trouble of ringing round all the suppliers, and orders of the minimum quantity (500 litres) get the same price as much larger quantities. You will be contacted by your local coordinator, David Marriott, twice a month by email, and all you have to do to place an order is let him know how much you want. The order will then go onto a list tendered by a professional oil purchasing company to get the best price available, and the oil will be delivered about two weeks later. The oil purchasing company will collect the sum due by direct debit after the delivery has been made.
For further information on the CFO oil scheme visit their website here, or visit the Parish Council Noticeboard,

Cricket Club ‘Meet and Greet’
Holy Week and Horley? So, for the energetic, you can start on Maundy Thursday (24 March) afternoon by joining the pilgrimage to walk the Benefice trail, which continues on Good Friday (25 March). Milestones are: leave Drayton church 1.45pm, Wroxton 3.00, Balscote 4.15, arrive Shenington 5.30ish and have a Seder Meal at 6.00 (a symbolic meal associated with the Jewish Passover). This is followed by a short Communion service in Shenington Village Hall, after which the tenacious can participate in a vigil into the early hours of Good Friday morning.
Part II of the Benefice trail pilgrimage starts from Alkerton church at 9.30am on Good Friday, takes in Hornton at 10.30 and arrives at Horley in time for the midday Stations of the Cross in St Etheldreda’s. As the name suggests, this is a service which charts Jesus’ journey to Calvary, symbolised by progressing round twelve ‘stations’ set out in the church with readings and singing at each. Following this service, there is a ‘frugal lunch’ in the Old School, from which the pilgrimage will complete the circle by continuing to Drayton, arriving 2ish for a devotional service at the Cross.
In Saturday newspaper ‘worthwhile walks’ terms, the Benefice trail would be described as ‘easy’ and open to all ages (children definitely welcome at all points), either in its entirety, or in sections, or just stay in Horley and come to the Stations of the Cross/the frugal lunch.

This ‘Friday Night at the Movies’ is ‘Spectre’, followed by ‘Bill’ at the Children’s Cinema Club’ on Saturday. See poster below for details:

Soon we will be out clearing up our gardens and making way for spring. This time of year we like to open up our windows and bring fresh air into our homes. It’s also a time when people like to have the occasional bonfire and there are no laws preventing you from doing so. However you could always consider other ways of disposing of your waste such as composting and recycling?
If you do still want to light a bonfire then by following these guidelines it will help ensure your smoke is reasonable and respectful of your neighbours:
