The Institute is booked; the admin is completed, the Parish Council have given a grant towards the costs so Adderbury Gardening Club’s Summer Show is good to go. Our show is just for members of the Gardening Club and the villagers of Adderbury, Twyford and Milton and is a fairly relaxed and fun event. Registration of exhibits takes place on Thursday 25th August between 6.00 pm – 8.00 pm at “Placketts”, in the High Street next to the Post Office, or by email to min67rod@sky.com at any time before that time and date.

The Adderbury Garden Party, is back, and will be held in Manor House, Mill Lane, with the kind permission of Sir Martin and Lady Jacomb. There will be numerous stalls, as well as a raffle and the ever-popular Punch and Judy. The entrance fee of £5.00 includes tea and a piece of cake. Entry is free for children under 12 (£1.00 for a drink and a piece of cake). All proceeds in aid of St Mary’s Church Adderbury. Looking forward to an enjoyable afternoon and see you there!
Adderbury cricket needs you. We might get our cricket field back one day but, in the meantime, we will have to make do with the 27th staging of the annual needle against the boys from Milton taking place in the Broughton and North Newington Cricket Club starting a 1.00 pm. Adderbury stormed to an impressive win in 2021 and this year we think we can really do the business again if we can get a passionate team of Adderburians with the odd tinge of talent. If you fancy a game contact Nick Fennell on 811059 or nick.fennell319@btinternet.com. The teas and BBQ are well worth the trip as will be the Hooky in The Bell later|!
Adderbury Cine Club will be showing ‘Belfast’ in the Institute. Doors open at 7.30 pm and the film starts at 8.00 pm. ‘Belfast’ directed and written by Kenneth Branagh and starring Judy Dench, Ciaran Hinds and Jude Hill, tells the story of a young boy and his working-class Belfast family experiencing the tumultuous late 1960s.
There is a bar selling wine, beer, soft and hot drinks. Tickets are free for full members, £3 for casual members and £7 for non-members. Tickets can be booked https://bookwhen.com/adderburycineclub.
We meet at the Lakes Walk car park at 9.00 am and finish at noon, or you can just come along and find the group around the Lakes when you can.
