The Horton General Needs YOU – You Can Make a Difference See How
THIS COULD BE OUR BIGGEST FIGHT EVER
Consultant-led maternity, 24/7 Childrens Ward, Special Care Baby Unit, A&E, medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, and the Critical Care Unit are all under threat. See the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation Trust’s “emerging options” link:- http://www.cherwell.gov.uk/media/pdf/n/s/CPN_Agenda___Meeting_doc_140616.pdf)
Keep the Horton General campaigners, midwives, SCBU staff, members of the public and local GPs have publicly come out against the options.
“What can I do?”
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do right now is to write to the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, via your GP at your local doctor’s surgery, and tell them why we need the full services of a General Hospital in Banbury (ie one that provides all the above mentioned services.) You might consider safety, cost, travel difficulties, the growing population, and the effect on the lower income and disadvantaged families. If you can illustrate your email or letter with a personal experience, that will make it more powerful.
Copy your GP letter to your MP and to us at keepthehortongeneral@hotmail.co.uk

Remarkable Achievement for Cricket Pavilion Fundraising
Way beyond the wildest expectations here’s the July Fundraising Update:
Sunday 10th July 2016 was a pretty remarkable day at Horley Cricket Club, apart from one early light shower, the sun shone all day. The club came together across all playing age groups, social members, supporters and villagers to raise on total over £2,500 for the new pavilion fund – way beyond the wildest expectations of the Fundraising Committee.
The day further emphasised what a great club this is and how it richly deserves the new facilities that it will eventually get.
There are too many people for the Fundraising Committee to thank so huge apologies in advance for those names missing off this list but here goes in no particular order(!): Ross; Terry; Clive; James; Jamie; Claire; Richard; Mark; Sue Row; Sue Row’s sister; Rosie; all juniors who played in the morning and all parents who supported them; all those that offered Promises for the Auction and all those that bought Promises; all who offered items for sale that have been held over for an auction of physical items later in the season; all 1st & 2nd team players that both played and supported; and finally thanks to playing friends of Horley from Long Compton CC and Sibford CC and their families.
A very high benchmark has been set and we now have a stockpile of physical items to auction later in the season. We’ve had new ideas for Fundraising including a Cheese and Wine Winter Evening – which will happen. Please keep the ideas coming. We are continuing positive funding discussions with ECB, OCB, CDC and Sport England but these processes are typically quite slow – bear with us. Many have asked when we can start to see some of the ‘Batometer’ on the pavilion beginning to be coloured in – watch this space!

Family Fundraising Cricket Day – This Sunday 10th
We are very excited to announce the details for our upcoming Family Fundraising Cricket Day this Sunday. The day will run as follows (all timings are approximate):
10am – Juniors cricket match
Midday – BBQ Farm shop burgers and sausages
1-2pm – Promises Auction
2pm – Adults cricket match
All comers are welcome on the day, including non-club members. Please contact fundraising@horleycc.co.uk to let us know if you or your children would like to play.
If you are unable to be there on Sunday, but don’t want to miss out on bidding for some of our fabulous promises (see below), you can email fundraising@horleycc.co.uk with a ‘commission bid’. For this you need to tell us the MAXIIMUM you would bid for that Lot. As with ebay, you won’t necessarily pay that total amount if you win. Bids will go up in increments so you could win with less than your maximum bid. However, if bidding goes above your maximum bid you will not win.
If you are coming for the juniors match, please stay on to support the adults, many of whom are parents who will be needing all the support they can get! Bring a picnic and make a day of it. The bar will be open all day.
So… here are the Lots for the Auction of Promises! Thank you SO much from all at the club to everyone who has kindly donated and committed to giving up their time. We were overwhelmed by the response. Some items offered were goods rather than services and we have decided to hold these back for another auction later in the year.

Lot 3 16 hours (2 days of building labour)
