Anticipating our return in the autumn, please tell us how you feel about meeting up again. With the start of our 2020 / 2021 season upon us, the Adderbury Cine Club is really hoping to be able to restart showing films to the villagers. The committee had the pleasure of meeting recently to discuss our plan for reopening and we are looking at a range of options. First and foremost, we are awaiting news about when and how we can use The Institute safely and we are keeping an eye on the latest advice from Cinema For All and the government.

Welcome to the Focal 100 Club! It is a great way to support your local library while having a bit of a flutter! Here’s how it works.
You agree to pay £2.00 per month or £24.00 per anum. This buys you one membership number which is entered in the monthly draw. (of course you can always buy more membership numbers if you wish!) All participants must be over 16 years of age. The draw will take place on the last day of the month.
The prize money will be 25% of the membership fees received in that month. The remaining 75% goes to Focal to help keep our library open. The winner each month will be sent a cheque for their winnings.
Membership forms can be obtained from the Library or downloaded from our website – Adderburyfocal.org.uk.
The Home Library Service is available to people who are unable to visit the library themselves through frailty, short term illness, infirmity or a disability and have no other means of getting access to reading materials.
How it works
Contact us to discuss the kind of books, DVDs, audio books that you like to read or enjoy. We then arrange for a library volunteer to deliver these to you in your home.
To register for this service or for further information call the Home Library Service on 01865 810259 or Catherine Drake Adderbury Library Manager on 01295 810545 or email: homelibraryservice@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
