As the one-hundredth anniversary of the First World War draws to a close, Adderbury History Association is putting on an exhibition over the Armistice weekend to commemorate the role that all village people played during the conflict. The exhibition will take place in the Methodist Schoolroom on Saturday 10 November between 11.00 am and 5.00 pm, and Sunday 11 November between 1.00 pm and 4.00 pm.
After their Annual General Meeting in the Institute at 7.00 pm, Adderbury Cine Club will be showing ‘The Shape of Water’. Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab’s classified secret — a mysterious, scaled creature (Doug Jones) from South America that lives in a water tank.
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.
Once again Poppy selling time is nearly upon us and I would like to appeal to anyone who might be interested, to contact me if you would be happy to take collections door to door for the annual poppy appeal. We especially need collectors for the new estates on Milton Road and other areas of the village. Adderbury folk are very generous but we sometimes miss parts of the village due to a lack of collectors. If you can help this year please get in touch with me and I will pass your name to our local Poppy Collection. Organiser. Many thanks. Jean Moore Secretary. Adderbury and Milton Royal British Legion. 01295 810246 or jeaniemoore3@gmail.com.
