Ironstone Chamber Music Festival – thank you!

Ironstone ConcertsThe fifth Ironstone Chamber Music Festival took place last week-end. The musicians played 3 concerts, consisting of traditional and modern music, to practically full houses (churches!), culminating in Mendelssohn’s String Quintet, which received a standing ovation. None of this could have happened without the following people:-

Sue and Mike Patching, Vanessa and Julie (also Lottie and Joseph), John and Alison Tite, David Kyle, Margaret Condon, Helen and Tony Ellis, Graham Curd, Tim Allitt, Charles Cozens, Bob Barnwell and Edna Seed.

Many thanks to you all

Water Leak in Wroxton Lane…the latest

Latest update:

Thames Water will need to close Wroxton Lane in order to mend the ongoing leak. They will not do this until the B4100 closure has ended.  It is likely to commence on 26 September.

Fingers still crossed then!

Don’t Forget the Warwick Road Closure…

road closed

Don’t forget, the Warwick Road will be closed from Monday the 12th at the new Hanwell Chase development, to allow the ongoing sewerage works to be completed.  The closure is expected to last for about 12 days.”

Water Leak in Wroxton Lane…

Note from Simon Atfield, Chairman of the Parish Council:

“I have been having various conversations with Thames water regarding the leak outside April Cottage. They initially said it was being fixed last Friday but have now said they are coming to have another look tomorrow (Monday) and will then schedule in the work which should be quite quick.”

Fingers Crossed then!

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
