I have a large bag full of vintage and modern cotton fabrics, all large enough for patchwork and small projects. If anyone would be interested in this please contact Jo Haine on 01367 240581

Wanted
Does anyone have a cold frame that Jane could use to nurture the young plants she is growing for the Art Weeks plant stall? She is also looking for square pots and the plastic base trays that hold four or six square pots. Please contact Jane Holmes on 241367 or at Foxley. We are planning to have a village Jubilee Celebration at the Great Barn on Saturday 4th June at lunchtime please save the date and look out for further information.
I attach a pdf file showing the plans to develop and revitalise the Contemplation garden at St Giles Church. Details of committee members are included.
Thanks, Maureen Full details of upcoming films can be see here.
Billie Hayter Cinema Supervisor - Faringdon Regent Cinema Faringdon Town Council The Pump House 5 Market Place Faringdon SN7 7HL 01367 240281 (My office hours are Monday and Friday) www.faringdontowncouncil.gov.uk Our January Japes had to be cancelled due to government restrictions and our concern for the health of our members. The overwhelming response to an e-mail requesting names of people wishing to attend the lunch told us how keen people were for life to return to normal. We are therefore delighted to announce that we are holding the lunch as March Merriments on Thursday 10th March at 12 noon for 12.30pm. People who have already booked will have been contacted and numbers have been made up to a safe figure.
The afternoon talk will proceed as usual with the talk taking place in the Corn Exchange at 2.30pm. Members are welcome to come to listen to the talk if they have not been to the meal. The speaker is Phil Holt, a retired air Traffic Controller; his talk is entitled “Keep calm – I am an Air Traffic Controller”. He covers the history and development then talks about present day flying. This humorous, yet factual, presentation will fascinate everyone so, prepare for take-off! Refreshments will follow as usual.  Chatting in the village I was updated on this photo, the building in the foreground is a cottage that was knocked down some time ago and was in the garden of what is now Highview next door to Pottinger Cottage. The barn was in where the front garden of Clover House.
You can see what looks like a row of cottages on this 1910 map (zoom in). We will be doing another drop in March, hopefully if possible it will be monthly.
Thank you. Sally. Dear Sally and Nigel I am writing to thank you - again - for another enormously generous donation from Great Coxwell. It is just wonderful to know that communities like yours are thinking of refugees and generously supporting them. As I think you know, we are completely dependent on donations for the operation of our food bank - and as we are still supporting almost 100 people and giving out around 1000 items every week, donations like yours are hugely appreciated - especially at this time of year, when we find that donations tend to tail off a bit after Christmas. Please do pass on our thanks to your generous friends and neighbours! Kindest regards, Janet -- Janet Stewart Volunteer Food Bank Coordinator Asylum Welcome Unit 7, Newtec Place Magdalen Road Oxford OX4 1RE 01865 722082 www.asylum-welcome.org https://www.facebook.com/AsylumWelcome http://www.linkedin.com/company/asylum-welcome https://www.instagram.com/asylumwelcome The church can receive "free" money from these people. The arrangements are simple. This is how it works. If you want to buy anything online, you go into easyfundraising.org.uk first, select your good cause, in this case St Giles Great Coxwell PCC, and then you can buy your goods or services. There is a vast range of organisations taking part in this system. The shops or services pay either a percentage of what you buy or a fixed sum to our cause on each occasion - it's as simple as that! You don't pay any more for what you are buying. I hope by advertising this to our villagers we will get some more money added to our cause - beyond the £10.30 seen below. Once we get to £15 or more, they pay us into our account. Click here for more information and to start. Best wishes, Mike Heathcoat  |
