Warning from Thames Valley Police

Over the past few weeks there have been a number of thefts of money and credit cards from purses and wallets where the victim has been approached and asked for change. Victims are usually elderly.

Wardington Cinema are screening ‘Philomena’ on Saturday 5th April

The next film night is taking place on Saturday 5th April in the Memorial Hall.  This is a change from the date (Friday 21st March) advertised in the Warbler.
