Music in Adderbury – 26 April
Adderbury Ensemble with Jenny Sacha, solo violin, Anna Cashell, solo violin and Alun Darbyshire, oboe, will be performing in St Mary’s Church starting at 6.00 pm. They will be playing Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Bach Concerto for Oboe and Violin, and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons’. Tickets at £20.00 are available at the door. Students and children under the age of 18 are admitted free if accompanied by an adult. (No admission for children under the age of 5.)
Starting on 21 April the repairs are in the High Street (junction of The Green/ High Street and junction of Oxford Road/High Street) and the work should finish on 29 April. This work temporarily prohibits the use of the highway by all motor vehicles. No access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles and for frontages within the closed section of road, subject to the progress of the works. Access will be maintained for cyclists and pedestrians. A suggested alternative route is via the junction of The Green (A4260) and The Green.
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. 
You are warmly invited to come to the annual Poetry Evening hosted by the Friends of St. Mary’s (FOSMA) in Church House at 7.00 pm. Bring along a poem or two (not too long please!) to read or, if you prefer to just come and listen, that’s fine too. Tickets at £8 are available from Trish Fennell 01295 811059 or Adderbury Stores and include a free glass of wine and a few nibbles. We look forward to seeing you there!
Come and join us for a friendly dog walk to raise money for Dementia Oxfordshire. We will meet outside The Coach an Horses at 11.00 am. This is a service provided by the local charity Age UK Oxfordshire. A chance to meet other dog owners, take part in a dog-themed raffle and get some training tips from a professional dog trainer. The 5km circuit around Adderbury will include some gentle uphill paths and will pass livestock, so do keep your dog under control at all times and dress appropriately.
