Adderbury Cine Club will be showing ‘King Richard’ in the Institute at 8.00 pm. ‘King Richard’ tells the story of how armed with a clear vision and a brazen, 78-page plan, Richard Williams (Will Smith) is determined to write his two daughters, Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena (Demi Singleton), into history.
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. Our show is just for members of the Gardening Club and the villagers of Adderbury, Twyford and Milton and is a fairly relaxed and fun event. Registration of exhibits takes place on Thursday 25th August between 6.00 pm – 8.00 pm at “Placketts”, in the High Street next to the Post Office, or by email to min67rod@sky.com at any time before that time and date.

The New Sports and Community Centre on the Milton Road Gathers Momentum.
After a lull due to Covid-19, the project has now gathered momentum. Planning permission for the main building has been granted, the sports field is now in place, and the main entrance and footpath linking to the village have been installed. However, more funds are needed and you can help without donating a penny!!
Sign up on “easyfundraising.org.uk “ and every time you buy online a free donation will go to the “ Working for Adderbury Community Fund”.
Village Jubilee Celebrations
On Saturday 4th June, the library will be celebrating the Jubilee with a Pimm’s bar, hot drinks, cake, and storytelling throughout the day, as well as normal library services. From 2.30 pm-3.00 pm Anthony Wagg will host a storytelling session for children on the history of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. We look forward to seeing you there.
The village tennis and squash club is about to start a new tennis coaching term. The club called ‘Banbury Westend’ is located in the centre of Adderbury at the bottom of Chapel Lane. There is a full schedule of tennis and squash play, including league matches, coaching and friendly sessions as well as a licensed bar and a full schedule of social nights.
The group have been practising all through the lockdown via Zoom. For a short while last summer, they were able to play together on the Green, keeping social distancing, but this was short lived when greater restrictions were introduced. They used the down-time to extend their library of popular songs. Mostly from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s, such as a medley of Drifters songs, Pussycat and Engelbert Humperdinck, but also a more modern Ronan Keating song.
With the easing of restrictions, the group have returned to the Adderbury Bowls Club on Monday evenings to play outside on the patio, where they practice the songs from their repertoire. They clearly have a good time strumming and singing and are looking forward to playing in front of audiences again.
