Reminder: Paddington 2 Screening this Friday (20th April)!

Just a quick reminder that we are screening Paddington 2 at the village hall this Friday night (20th April), doors open at 7.15pm, film starts at 8pm. We are a little short on numbers, so please come along if you can - you can pay on the door but it'll help us greatly if you let us know before if you are planning to attend. You are welcome to bring your own food and drink to enjoy during the film, but we also provide a free ice cream in the half time interval, when we also draw a raffle (contributions to the raffle are greatly appreciated). All profits from the night go to the upkeep of the village hall. Paul

Proposed new J11 services – AGAIN?!

Wine Bluff – Majestic Special Offer

Thanks to everyone who came to this year's Call My Wine Bluff on Saturday evening in the Memorial Hall. It was a really enjoyable evening with six delicious wines to taste, supplied by Majestic Wine in Banbury. The evening featured three "bluffers", Clive Hunt, Nigel Bankes and Matt from Majestic, each of them trying to persuade us that their description of the wine we were tasting was accurate. There were many laughs, much wine consumed and a very close result in the end. The winners by a single point were "The Snackers" comprising James and Caroline Wild and Mark and Deborah Page.
