Banbury West End Tennis and Squash Club have purchased an AED (Automatic Electronic Defibrillator), the first in the village, I understand. The unit is designed to save lives in the event of a heart attack. In order to gain access to the unit, anyone assisting someone in cardiac arrest should phone 999, and the location and code to access the unit will be given to them, as well as instructions on caring for the patient. Now, we fully understand that this unit is remote from many areas in the village, and would expect a village of this size to have one, or two more in various spread out locations.
Thank you to everyone who came, supported and enjoyed our Evening with Donald Johnston of Christie’s last Friday evening. Donald gave a fascinating insight into how he came to be in his position at Christie’s and told some lively and interesting tales about some of his finds and sales. A great evening – thank you especially to Donald for helping us raise just over £500.
Adderbury Bowls Club has had a magnificent season – the most successful in the Club’s 92-year history.
Two of Oxfordshire Bowls Association’s most prestigious trophies now have pride of place in the Club’s cup cabinet.
The Club won the The Hawker Cup team trophy and member Phil Gladden won the sought-after singles competition the Longford Cup. Click here to see the Hawker Cup winning team.
On a lovely late summer afternoon a resurgent Adderbury team regained the Millennium Trophy despite a spirited fight back by Milton. Victory by just 20 runs coincided perfectly with England’s win over India – so plenty to celebrate at Milton’s new North Newington home, with plenty of cake and burgers and a few beers. See the winning team here.
