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

A gentle reminder that this Friday (16th)  is film night at the Memorial hall.  By popular demand - Wardington Village Cinema are screening 'The Odd Couple' starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau. Doors open 7.30am - film commences at 8pm prompt. Please bring your own drinks and nibbles.  Complimentary ice creams will be distributed during the interval. Any surplus from the film nights is used to help with improvements to the village hall, however we do need at least 35 attendees to break even.  Many recent users of the hall may have noted the reverberation panels installed towards the end of November which have made a huge difference to the sound quality now experienced within the main hall.

We hope to see you there.

A Stannah stairlift including the riser rail [ approx 12' in length] is for sale. It is currently in good working order and may be seen by arrangement. The seat cover appears tatty but in fact are two scorch marks created by inadvertently placing a hot vacuum cleaner on it; someone thrifty could easily knit or source one. It has a new battery [ for back up ] and new switches. It can swivel and has a seat belt for added safety. For sale at £500. Please contact Robert on 01295 750 202 or in person.
