Faringdon Regent Cinema - October

7/10/2016

Friday 21st October - Love & Friendship (U)
(Comedy, Drama, Romance - 2016)

Beautiful young widow, Lady Susan Vernon, visits the estate of her in-laws to wait out the colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and a future for her eligible but reluctant daughter, Frederica. In doing so she attracts the simultaneous attentions of the young, handsome Reginald DeCourcy, the rich and silly Sir James Martin and the divinely handsome, but married, Lord Manwaring, complicating matters severely.

Director: Whit Stillman
Writer: Jane Austen (based on her novella "Lady Susan"), Whit Stillman

FARINGDON AND DISTRICT U3A TALK ON THURSDAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2016

7/10/2016

The speaker will be Roy Smart, a retired RN officer, Fleet Air Arm pilot and aviation consultant who will talk about the life and work of aviation pioneer Percy Pilcher who died tragically young in 1899 while testing one of his designs. In 2003 a research team at the School of Aeronautics at Cranfield University concluded that Pilcher’s designs were more or less workable. Refreshments are available after the talk in Faringdon Corn Exchange which starts at 2.30pm. All members are welcome but visitors are required to pay £1.50. Further information can be found on www.faringdondistrictu3a.wordpress.com or from the chairman Peter Smith.

GREAT COXWELL BOOK EXCHANGE

28/9/2016

We now have shelves (thanks to Richard May) and a book exchange (organised by Ian Mason) in the red telephone kiosk in the village. Help yourself to anything that you fancy reading - and, unless you want to keep it, return it afterwards!

To keep the titles reasonably fresh and to make sure that the idea maintains its momentum, Ian plans to try to replace and update books on a regular basis. If you want to help, and have any books that you don’t want, please let Ian know and he’ll arrange to collect them from you.

***STOP PRESS NEWS***

LOTS of new books in Great Coxwell Book Exchange (Telephone Box) today

Councils binning black and coloured sacks in recycling bins

28/9/2016

From November, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils will only empty green wheelie bins if the recycling in them is loose or in clear sacks.

Despite a recent campaign to raise awareness of the issue, some people are still putting in things like food waste and dirty nappies, contaminating whole truckloads of recycling - when these things are put into recycling bins in black or coloured sacks they’re not spotted until it’s too late.

If there’s a sack in a recycling bin and the waste crews can’t see what’s in it, they’ll have to assume it contains contamination and won’t empty it.
