Empire Magazine "So innately compelling is Turing's story - to say nothing of Benedict Cumberbatch's masterful performance - it's hard not to get caught

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HALL As recently reported in The Warbler the planned improvements to the Hall took place in December.

This has resulted in a significant reduction in the ‘echo’ in the Hall leading to much improved acoustics and speech intelligibility generally, especially on occasions such as cinema nights and bingo. The terraced area at the far end of the Hall has now been paved with quality natural stone slabs. This has included the pathway on the south side of the Hall along with new surface drainage for the whole rear area. Additional fencing and a gateway above the retaining wall adjacent to the

For those interested, I have information from BT about faster broadband. The timescale for Wardington is still showing "by December 2015". We will be getting up to 80Mbps if you are close to the cabinet, but can expect 40Mbps if you are down by the Hare and Hounds. All houses that already have broadband will be able to switch. You won't get a speed increase automatically, you will have to request it when it becomes available. If you have an old ASDL modem then you may need a new one. An engineer may have to visit your house to change the "plate" on your telephone box. The more technical description from BT of what we are getting is: BT is

This Saturday (24/01/15) we will start creating the action plans that address the concerns in the community led plan questionnaire.
