The Parish Council has agreed to carry out some work to tidy up the area of land at Wroxton Lane, next to the Old Council Houses and opposite Horley Mill.
Oxfordshire County Council has confirmed that this land is public highway, but it is not covered by any maintenance contract. Consequently the Parish Council has decided to act in order to tidy the land up. The work is planned to take place on Saturday 9 July.
Can you provide B&B for Scouting Festival on August Bank Holiday?
I am writing out of the blue to ask for your help to pass on a request to fellow villagers in Horley, or to put this information on the village notice board, or if the timing works, to advertise in the Horley Views Magazine.
I am part of a team of volunteers that organises an annual family/community festival at the Horley Scout Campsite over the August Bank Holiday weekend. We have around 300 people camping on the site. BUT there are always a very small number of people who do not camp. This can be for all kinds of reasons. Until now they have not been able to participate as the hotel in Wroxton is prohibitively expensive especially as most of the time is spent at the campsite. We have found a couple of people letting rooms in Hornton but that is just a little further away ideally we would like to find some accommodation within walking distance of the campsite.
We wondered if there would be residents in Horley who would be willing to let out a room over this bank holiday. It would be great if that could include access to basic breakfast facilities (tea/coffee, cereal and toast for example) no elaborate or cooked breakfast would be expected. In Hornton we are being charged between £40-50 per room per night. But, if there are Horley residents interested in this we can negotiate everything to reach a mutual agreement.
If anyone is interested in this, they should contact me, Steve Miller by email steve@svmassociates.co.uk or 07941 813 619.
Many thanks

A BIG thank you to everyone who rolled out of bed on a Sunday morning for the Michael Hardinge Trust’s fundraising fry-up!
Over 50 people arrived at the School House to enjoy a cooked breakfast with friends and neighbours! It was lovely to see some new faces together with regular supporters.
The event raised nearly £700 which will help the Trust support Horley’s children throughout their education and to also maintain the School House as a vital village amenity.
We are also very grateful for the generous donations we received and for the wonderful sponsorship and delicious sausages from “debbie&andrew’s” who support rural community initiatives. Do take a look at their website www.debbieandandrews.co.uk for details of their products and for where “debbie&andrew’s” sponsorship is also making a difference. See their post about the breakfast https://www.debbieandandrews.co.uk/community/571-may-day-breakfast-sizzles-up-700-for-horley-village
The Trustees could not hold such events without the help of their families who mucked in with everything from frying eggs, to putting up bunting, to washing-up and also making a last minute dash for more sausages!
With many people asking “when is the next one?!” the Trustees will be looking to their diaries …. and to their feathered egg-layers!…..to set a date!
