We have recently been made aware that the goalposts in our recreation ground may not meet with current safety requirements and may have to be removed. We will get them inspected and if as we suspect they are deemed to be unsafe we will remove them as quickly as possible. If anyone has a use for them and would be prepared to remove them for us please contact one of us. With help from some of our younger parishioners during the next week we will be marking out a new five-a-side pitch on the recreation ground. The Parish Council is supplying the two new goals and corner flags.

As a result of the original Parish Plan questionnaire we have no less than 30 parishioners who have volunteered to undertake driving duties and 35 parishioners who have volunteered to make friendship visits.

If we set up an organisation to provide you with transport assistance to doctors, dentists, hospitals or even just with the shopping would you find it useful? If we set up a friendship visiting group, would you like someone to come round for an hour or so for a chat and to share a cup of tea? If you would like to make use of either scheme even it is only once or twice a year please give Clare Lightfoot a call on 850486 or leave a message with Maggie at the Post Office.

Please note that there will be charge made to cover the cost of any car journeys that means the cost will be about £2 for a return trip to Didcot and about £13 for a return trip to Oxford.
