Most of the questions have a local twist so come along and pitch your wits against your neighbours in this fun quiz. Teams of up to 6 can enter, or you can come along and make up a team on the night.
Entry is £5.00 per person and all monies raised will be shared between the Katharine House Hospice and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
There will be a cash bar serving refreshments and a raffle. (Raffle prizes welcome!) Previous quizzes have been very popular – in fact we ran out of room so please book your place by contacting Emma Hamer on 07469 084691 or email Emma.Hamer@nfu.org.uk

Notes related to service D:

• Mollington and Little Bourton now served frequently by Stagecoach service 77A, six days per week
• Cropredy served by routes 497 and 501 on Thursdays and Saturdays • Claydon served by route 497 on Thursdays
• R indicates that the service operates to these points on request only
Particular questions related to service D:
• Is there enough time in Banbury for each service?
• What days of the week should this service run, bearing in mind the existing provision for Cropredy and Claydon?
• Is a minibus (16 seats) likely to be sufficient?
• Is there likely to be sufficient demand for this service?

New members needed to join Keep Hanwell Village Rural Action Group
See below for a message from the Keep Hanwell Village Rural Action Group:
‘Dear Residents,
I’m sure you’ll agree that the Keep Hanwell Village Rural Action Group –along with support from Parish Councils and our neighbouring communities – has delivered an excellent campaign against the greedy landowners and developers so far. The fight is very much not over and has really only just begun.
Cherwell District Council received over 470 letters of objection for Vistry’s development of 170 houses between Hanwell and Banbury. Objections were also made by every Parish Council surrounding Hanwell, including Banbury Town Council. We now wait to hear from Cherwell District Council on the decision-making process.
Meanwhile, the Manor Oak development off Dukes Meadow for 176 new houses will be decided at next Thursday’s (15 June) District Council planning meeting.
Hanwell and its neighbouring villages of Horley, Shotteswell, Great Bourton and Mollington are now threatened with a potentially huge industrial solar development between the settlements. There’s very little evidence that this potential development could be considered a viable alternative form of green energy and the loss of prime agricultural land is very alarming for our national food security and for our local farmers.
The Action Group team is small and we now need to bring in new members to take on the task to put a stop to this latest development. We need new members from Horley, Shotteswell, The Bourtons, Mollington and from Hanwell. If you could offer a couple of hours each month to help with fundraising, leafleting, events and attending our monthly meeting, you’ll be very welcomed.
The Action Group plans to attend HanFEST and the Horley Fete and other local events in the summer. But we need help in order to do this. Please let me know if you could help on our stand.
If you would like to find out more about joining the Action Group please make contact via the email address below.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Reminder of public meeting tomorrow (Weds 19th April)
The action group Keep Hanwell Village Rural, is running a public meeting tomorrow evening from 7.45pm at the Old School, to give more information about both the Vistry application to build 170 homes between Hanwell and Banbury and the proposed solar development on BOTH sides of the B4100, covering over 80 hectares.
Do please come along to find out more about these developments and how they will affect Horley.
Fundraising Quiz Night – next Friday (14th April)
‘Keep Hanwell Village Rural’ would love you to come their fundraising Quiz Night next Friday. They say:
‘We need you to come, pay your £10, have a fabulous fun evening and help us to fund the campaign to protect Hanwell but also the countryside between Hanwell, Horley and Shotteswell.
Your support is very much appreciated and every penny will go to help us fight the landowner and the developers.
If you’re coming, please email keephanwellvillagerural@gmail.com ‘
