Tickets are selling fast so get yours before they all sell out from either Annabelle Zinovieff, Pam Smith or Pauline Durham. Tickets are £2.50 for an adult or £6 for a family. All the village is welcome, as are friends and family of anyone living or anyone who has lived in the village. If the weather is fine we will be laying a row of tables along the street outside the red phone box/Reading Room. We will have bunting flying above the tables and a delicious tea of cakes and sandwiches. Children can join in the fancy dress on a royal theme - as princes or princesses. If it is raining we will be in the Great Barn. We really hope you will all come and join us for this special celebration in the village.

Thank you to all those who helped during artweeks. It is one of the special events in the village and is only possible because of us pulling together and helping. Pam and all the helpers in the Reading Room Cafe did amazing well this year. The Cafe looked beautiful; thank you to Bar for arranging jugs of lovely flowers on every table. The food was delicious thanks to almost everyone in the village for baking, cooking or donating ingredients, and thanks to all those serving in the Cafe. We will advise you of the total sum raised shortly. It will go towards organising the Queen's Street Party. The Plant sale was brilliant again - thank you to Sylvia and Jane for growing all the plants and being there in the sub-zero temperatures of the church porch selling them. Lastly thank you to Mike and Cathy who open up their barns and courtyard for the artists to use . It is a wonderful space and they look after the artists so well. And to all the artists - I hope we will all be here next year.

If you can’t make it along tomorrow there will be future debates in Faringdon and Wantage: · Faringdon - Friday 3rd June, 7pm at The Corn Exchange; Wantage - Friday 17th June, 7pm at The Beacon. If you're undecided, or want to learn more, I’d encourage you to come along. Yours, Ed Vaizey MP.

We have two very exciting concerts coming up, as part of the Great Coxwell Artweeks. Many of you have been waiting for Manus to perform here at Stonevale, and it is very exciting that he is coming in partnership with the cellist, Jehanne Bastoni. The young pianists in the second concert need no introduction either, and they have played in our Artweeks before. For those of you who came last year, I am sure you will remember the wonderful talent that will be on display again.
