Oxfordshire Artweeks is coming to Adderbury from 5 to 13 May.
Artweeks is the opportunity to see amazing art in wonderful places: expect the unexpected, be inspired, diverted and delighted – and come home with a unique artwork of your own.
Local Artists John Collier and Nathan Barry will be exhibiting work at their studios as well as drawing and painting exhibits at Katharine House Hospice
The Annual Parish Meeting was held in the Methodist Hall. There were apologies from Councillors Clarke, Jelfs, Lyons and District Councillor McHugh.
Chairman Mrs Diane Bratt welcomed the well-attended meeting and the minutes of last year’s meeting were approved.
She then introduced the speaker Carol MacKay, County Emergency Planning Officer who gave a very interesting and enlightening talk about the plans for the county in the event of any major emergency that should arise.
Following the successful meeting there are now a number of useful leaflets for residents, available on the PC web site, on the ‘Community Emergency Planning’ page. There are leaflets about Business Continuity for home workers and small businesses, a snow guide, hedges and tree, preparing to evacuate and many more. Please visit the PC web site for more details http://www.adderburypc.co.uk/community-emergency-planning/
The Party in the Park committee would like to thank everyone who supported us on 17 March. Overall, our net proceeds from ticket sales, bar, raffle, photos and sales of Easter decorations and novelties were £1668. This will help us enormously with the cost of putting on the party, which is expected be over £7000 this year and will more than cover the cost of sound and lighting for the main stage and acoustic tent.
As residents will be aware, the annual Day of Dance is being held on Saturday 28 April and there will be the usual road closure through the village. A number of the Parish Councillors will be monitoring the closure between 10.00 am and 7.00 pm, but should any residents have an hour to spare on the day, the Parish Council is looking for volunteers to assist. If you would be able to help, please email the Clerk at adderburypc@hotmail.com.
We are looking for volunteers to take over the running of our club. We have been girlguiding for over 56 years but without your help our popular 1st Adderbury Brownies Group will have to close this summer. To be a volunteer you need no experience and various roles are available – subject to DBS clearance. In term-time we meet every Thursday evening in the Lucy Plackett Activity Centre. For more information please email wendyockenden@yahoo.co.uk.
