The Village Pantomime
It will soon be time for the village pantomime. As usual there will be a raffle on all three evenings. If anyone could donate a little something for a hamper, it will be greatly appreciated, in order to raise money for the village hall and future productions. If so, email me at jennymiddleton_3@hotmail.com and I can collect any donations.

From Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service
In Oxfordshire we have attended over 266 chimney fires in the last three years. Nearly 50% of all chimney fires in Oxfordshire happen during January, February and March. If you enjoy cosying up in front of a log fire, make sure the sparks don't fly at home this winter. Have a cosy home not a fire zone: - Get your chimney swept at least once a year, if you regularly have log fires get it swept more frequently
- If you have a 1st floor fireplace check that it is clear of debris
- Store logs away from the fireplace
