Ian Mason is the village's new 'footpath warden'. He and Jez Webb have been looking at the stiles on the footpaths. Jez has done some work on them and they should now be easier to get over. Thanks to Jez for the work he has done on this.

If you are interested in the nitty gritty of this application the comments to the planners by the National Trust might interest you (see Planning Applications page for the links). If you have not uploaded your comments on the Vale website please do so. The more people from the parish who object the better. Hopefully this letter will inspire you!

A message from Peter and Lauren Gale
We have just started the petition "REFUGEES WELCOME IN FARINGDON" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too. You can read more and sign the petition here: http://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/refugees-welcome-in-faringdon Also, can you share the petition with others in the area? If you can, please would you forward this message or share this link on Facebook or Twitter: http://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/refugees-welcome-in-faringdon We have noticed that this subject is item 8 on the agenda for the next Town Council meeting on Wednesday, so your participation would be timely! Thank you! This is to let you know that I will be raising funds for the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust and for the four churches in the Badbury Group of Churches which I serve as parish priest, by way of the annual Ride and Stride event on September 12th, which is organised by the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust. I've decided to participate in the event this year, partly in order to raise funds for Oxfordshire's historic churches (and specifically for Buscot, Coleshill, Eaton Hastings and Great Coxwell) and also because having been just been appointed Area Dean, it's a good way of engaging with the churches in my patch.
I will be cycling round as many churches in the deanery as I can comfortably manage (my target is around twelve) and am seeking sponsorship for this event either by way of a fixed sum or for £x per church visited. All I need is an indication of the amount pledged, whether you are able to Gift Aid the amount, and the church or churches you would like to support. Alternatively, you might like me to divide the amount equally between the four churches. I don't need you to sign any form - all I need is your post-code, which I have - and an e-mail confirming your support. I am conscious that many people supported me in my Sponsored Slimming venture on behalf of my four churches a couple of years ago, for which I was very grateful. This is not explicitly another slimming initiative although I hope the result will be the loss of a few pounds for the sake of attracting many pounds! Any help will be much appreciated. David Williams August 13th, 2015 September 8th - WI meeting in the Reading Room 7.30pm. All women welcome.
September 13th- TEAS in the Reading Room, 2.30-5.30pm ALSO Concert at Stonevale starting at 4pm.
