Dog fouling of the sports field

Please be reminded that the Sports Field is privately owned and the use of it is currently for the benefit and enjoyment of villagers, kindly given previously by Lord and Lady Wardington and currently by the family members who are the owners. Dog fouling is now a very serious issue and a health hazard within the sports field. Most responsible dog owners clean up after pets who have fouled and dispose of it appropriately e.g. in the Dog Bin provided by the council at the entrance to the field at Corner Mount. Some others do not. PLEASE respect and enjoy this generously donated facility and ensure that whoever takes your dog out, cleans up the mess and disposes of it

The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s. Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age.

Spring Litter Picking in Wardington

Spring Litter Picking in the Village Can you help? A small group has volunteered to litter pick again this year. We almost have the village covered but two of our stalwarts (Patricia & Greg Peters ) have moved away. They covered Upper Wardington from the Plough onwards. Amanda Pascoe will do what she can but needs some support. It doesn’t take long. A lot can be achieved in an hour or so. It can be done anytime to suit you in the first week in May.
