UPDATE: It has been suggested that this could well have been the milkman, but nevertheless, the message is still valid! Dear All I wanted to let you know that in the early hours of this morning (4.15 am) I heard and briefly saw a vehicle (something similar to a flat bed ford transit – light in colour) acting suspiciously around the green.

Family Olympics – photos

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all at the "Sizzling Sausage Family Olympics". Delicious sausages were supplied my Mumfords and there was a cake stall, a very good raffle and information about the Community-led Development Plan. There were a number of individual races for all age groups, a wellie-throwing competition, won by Mark Page, and team sports which included Dress/Undress, Egg and Spoon race and a three-legged race. Thanks go to Steve Mackenzie-Lawrie and his team for their extremely good organisation. The afternoon was designed to promote the Community-led Development Plan, an initiative sponsored by Cherwell District Council and designed to give all members of the community a say about their village and the wider community.

Fire!

A fire in Upper Wardington caused by dry pine needles and leylandii cuttings is being put out behind Brakespear's barn as your correspondent is writing. Two fire appliances are on the scene and the fire is now under control. The whole of Upper Wardington came out to see what was happening and once it was established that no people or property were in danger, there was great excitement amongst the children especially. The fire hydrant in the road by the old pool was used to supply water to the fire appliances and the children were on hand to ensure that there was enough torchlight for the firefighters to see the connection!
