Jenny and Stuart West of St Mary’s Road have raised a record sum of £2822 for Katharine House Hospice. This is from their fabulous Christmas Lights show, their stall on Adderbury Community Day and selling vegetables, jigsaws and other items outside their house. What a wonderful result!

Adderbury Cine Club will be showing ‘The Truffle Hunters’ in the Institute. This is a Meals and Reels evening and doors open at 7.00 pm with the meal starting at 7.15 pm and the film starts at 8.00 pm. Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years old, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle which, to date, has resisted all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation. This is a 2020 documentary film directed and produced by Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw.

We are hoping to recruit new volunteers and helpers for the Adderbury Brownie Unit. We would love to hear from anyone who can offer some time in any way possible to help run our Brownie unit – whether that’s as a leader, an occasional helper or administration support. It’s a really fun way to help the community and keeps the lovely traditions of Girl Guiding alive. Young people who are looking for volunteer work and experience are welcome, people who were Girl Guides themselves many, many moons ago and just about everyone in between – no matter your experience or how much time you have to spare.
