The grass is growing already so we’ve arranged for the annual village litter pick to take place earlier this year, on Saturday 2nd March.
If you can spare half an hour or so to help out, please gather in front of the Old Post Office on the corner of Banbury Lane at 10:00 on 2nd March. Litter pickers, protective gloves and rubbish and recycling bags will be provided by CDC. Please wear gloves (your own or those provided by CDC) to protect yourself against any risk of infection, and take care to wash your hands thoroughly after the Litter Pick has been completed.

Thanks to all those who helped make the Horley quiz held on Friday 3rd February such a success. We had a great turnout – in fact, we would not have been able to fit many more into the Old School!
Teams puzzled over crops grown around Horley; beers served in the Red Lion, road sign locations and kitchen cupboard ingredients amongst other things.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped on the night.
The quiz raised £600 to be split between two worthy charities: The Katherine House Hospice and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
Horley Ladies Guild are organising a charity quiz on 2nd Feb at 7pm – see poster below for details.
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
Thank you to everyone who supported the Ladies Guild funding raising coffee morning in aid of Breast Cancer Now last Saturday. We raised a fantastic £596 from the event!

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?
If you have any toys or books that your children (or grandchildren!) have grown out of or no longer need, please bring them along to the Old School next Saturday morning (24th June) for them to go on the toy stall in the afternoon.
