If you’d like to know more about the history of the gardens at Upton House, pop along to the next meeting of the 3Hs Gardening Club, because the speaker will be Alison Hodge, a volunteer who gives guided tours of the gardens to visitors.
Everyone – not just members – can come along to the talk, which takes place in the Hornton Pavilion at 7.30pm on Tuesday March 14th. Non members pay £3 for admission but it only cost £10 to become a member of the club for a year, and then every talk is free.
There will be a public meeting in Hanwell Village Hall on Wednesday15th March 2023 between 14.30 and 19.30 regarding the solar farm proposal. It is vital that as many people as possible attend this to discover more details about what is proposed and where it would be.
More details to follow.

Bring along a picnic and we will provide the toast – make it a day to remember before going home to watch the Coronation Concert. The Ladies Guild will also provide some delicious cakes for everyone (other volunteers’ cakes will be gratefully received)

Are you interested in learning to tap dance? If so, come along to the Old School next Monday evening when Denise Cook, who runs the current tap class in Horley on Monday evenings, will be doing a taster lesson for anyone who’s interested.
The lesson will be from 7pm to 7.30pm but feel free to come along 15 mins beforehand to see the class who’ve been tapping for a while in action at the end of their lesson. You don’t need to bring tap shoes for this session – we have some you can borrow. It’s great fun and good exercise!

A large number of bottles were seen dumped on the old ironstone railway path at the weekend. This has been reported to Cherwell District Council but if you see any more examples of our lovely countryside being spoiled by fly tipping, please report it to CDC. Here is the link:

As you may know, Chris and Tessa Howell have stepped back from organising the amazing Ironstone Concerts in September. However, the concerts are now under new management (wish us luck!) and will be on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th September.
If you have hosted musicians in the past, we would be delighted if you are happy to continue. If you would like to get involved in any capacity – hosting, marketing, fundraising etc, then please contact theironstoneconcerts@gmail.com. Many thanks!
The Parish Council is clearly aware that the street-lamp outside the Red Lion Pub is not working – now for 4 months! David Beck, Parish Clerk says:
‘I have regularly contacted Oxfordshire County Council on this matter and have received various replies, including being told three times the problem was fixed!!
Having recently received a communication from OCC that the ‘file was closed’, I contacted them again.
This is the latest response I have just received..
There is an electricity supply fault at this street light and has been sent to the electricity company for repair, it depends on workload as to how long it takes but is in hand to be rectified.
State changed to: In progress.’
