Ladies – Donate Your Old Bras…

Donate your old bras and help reduce sexual assaults on African women.

Louise Raper from Warriner School writes:

“Later this month (October) myself and two other students from the Warriner Sixth Form will be travelling to Uganda to take part in the Jinga International Youth Conference. Besides debating worldly issues in order to better understand each other’s culture, we will be visiting rural communities.

Currently we are in the process of gathering bras (as they are a sign of status and so reduce the likelihood of sexual assault) and football shirts/sports gear to take to Uganda, and would greatly appreciate any donations.

If you are in a positon to help us please do not hesitate to contact me by Monday 24th October at louise-raper@hotmail.co.uk – I will be more than happy to collect the items.

Thank you very much.”

Gary Fox

As most of you will have heard, Gary died unexpectedly from a heart attack on the morning of Wednesday 10th.

I take immense comfort from the fact that he knew I was with him and that it all happened quickly. I also know that both the incredible team of emergency paramedics and doctors, as well as myself did everything we could to try to save Gary. A team of 7 arrived very quickly in ambulances and by helicopter, providing emergency care for Gary at home and to the John Radcliff Hospital where he sadly passed away.

We have been overwhelmed by the love that the village has shown to us, from your messages, flowers, food and offers of help. In time we hope to be able to spend time with you, and take you up on these offers. It has really shown us what living in a community like ours is really about.

We have decided to have a private cremation and when we are able, will get together with small groups of friends and family to share our memories.

For now, we are looking forward to September when Grant gets married and Lauren starts her final year at University.

Thank you for your love and support

Anyone Missing A Tabby???

A rather nice Tabby Cat has been frequenting our garden and drive over the past 2 weeks. Unfortunately he has no collar or name tag and we are just concerned that he may be lost or even abandoned. We wondered if anyone knew anything about him?
