A Lancaster Bomber Pilot’s Story – 11th May is SOLD OUT!
Reminder – Hornton Lane To Be Closed: 9 – 13 April
Repairs to take place to Hornton Lane
Oxfordshire County Council have made arrangements to carry out some repairs to Hornton Lane, between Lane Close and Church Lane. The works are scheduled to take place between 9 and 13 April, and a road closure will be in force to enable the works to be carried out safely.
In practice, it is expected that the closure will only apply between 9.30am and 3.30pm, and that access will be maintained to frontages. However, diversion signs will be in place.

Experience the magic of Lambing at Your Local Farm!
Lambing at Hadsham Farm open to the public: 24th March-15th April 2018
Every spring we lamb 250 ewes in our barns, before turning some 400 lambs and their mothers out onto the new grass in our rolling meadows when the weather warms up.
For the second year in a row, we are opening the farm gates to the public to allow them to see what happens – from birth right through to the lambs’ first steps out on the fresh spring grass.
There are goats and pigs too!
All refreshments in aid of charity (Air ambulance, Catherine house, Horley church).
Tickets can be bought from the farm on the day: All Tickets: £3 (Under 2′s: Free).

A Big Thank-You to the Hardy Litter Pickers!
‘The Parish Council would like to convey their thanks to all the hardy souls who turned out last Saturday morning to carry out the annual litter pick. It is noticeable how much tidier the verges are now, and an impressive pile of rubbish was collected on what was a bitterly cold morning. Well done and thank you everyone.’
