Save the date for this year’s progressive dinner!

Horley’s famous Progressive Dinner date has been set for 2nd September.

A great opportunity to mingle with your fellow villagers and have what is always a really good night out.

Full details to follow soon.

Fly tipping

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:

Ironstone concerts in September – would you like to help?

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!

Rosie the missing cat has been found

Thank you to everyone who looked out for Rosie – she was found this afternoon on top of a log pile in a farm yard. The logs had moved and trapped two of her legs, one of which is broken. She’s at the vets and Liz and Christian are waiting for news on what they can do for her.

Cat missing – please look out for her

One of Liz and Christian’s cats has been missing since Saturday 28th from Brook House along the Hornton Road. She’s a one-year old Maine Coon called Rosie. Quite large, long haired with very pointy ears; mostly dark but with white flashes. Please look in your garages, sheds etc in case she is trapped somewhere.

If you have any news please call either Liz or Christian on 07836 366100. Thank you.
