Tim Radford – The Adderbury Morris Men
Tim passed away peacefully in hospital on 10 January aged 79 years. He was born in Totton Hampshire, formerly of Barford St Michael, Adderbury and latterly Woods Hole, USA. Tim will be remembered by many for working at General Foods/KJS, for his running of The Prince of Wales Folk Club in Banbury and being a founder member of The Adderbury Morris Men. Tim’s Thanksgiving Service has been arranged to take place in St Mary’s Church, Adderbury on Friday 24 April at 2.00 pm.
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. The Schedules, for Adults and Juniors, are now in Adderbury Stores, the Library and on the Adderbury web page. For the adults the usual range of fruit and vegetables, plants, flowers, jams, breads, cakes etc. For the Juniors a few craft based classes, which might give them something to do in the summer holidays.
Ian Myson will give a talk about Doreen Warriner (1904-72) the Unsung Humanitarian Hero at 7.15 pm in The Institute. Ian, Chair of Bloxham History Club, will tell the extraordinary story of Doreen Warriner, after whom the local school is named. An academic ground-breaker, she was also one of the most important British figures in the history of humanitarian relief in the 20th century. Visitors are welcome at £5.00.
The meeting will be in Church House and starts at 7.30 pm. All residents are welcome to attend.
Can you spare one hour to help marshal the road closure? Volunteers are needed to manage road closure outside The Bell and the Coach and Horses. It would involve diverting the traffic and ensuring that only essential vehicles are let through. High Street will be closed from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm. If you are free to help please email Laura
