Call My Wine Bluff 2016 – Sat 7th May.

The Friends of St Mary Magdalene are delighted to be arranging another evening of "Call My Wine Bluff"on Saturday 7th May 2016 at Wardington Memorial Hall. The evening is lighthearted and fun and involves tasting six different wines. Each wine is described by three "experts", two of whom are bluffing, and it's up to you to decide which expert (bluffer) is telling the truth.  You will form into teams of six and it's a great opportunity to meet new people, have fun with old friends and have a few glasses of wine.

The Plough pub – planning application

Further to the flyer that you may or may not have received through your door today informing you of a planning application to convert The Plough in Upper Wardington to residential use, the quoted planning application reference number is incorrect. The correct reference is 16/00367/F. Details can be found here: http://www.publicaccess.cherwell.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O33II0EMH5300. I am posting this purely to correct an error. I have no idea who printed or distributed the flyer and I am not passing an opinion either way about the application.

The A361 passes through the village, which could carry vehicles travelling up from the M40 near Banbury.
