Adderbury, Deddington and District Photographic Society is holding it’s annual show in the Institute between 10.00 and 5.00 pm. It will be exhibiting some of the efforts by Club members over the past 12 months, photos taken locally and further afield. Come along and browse, chat to members and have a cup of tea and a piece of cake. Entry is free and donations welcome.
Primarily a social event to bring the people of Adderbury together, the Garden Party also raised £1,204 towards St Mary’s Church to help keep it open, support the community and provide outreach. Thank you again to all the helpers, supporters and all who came.
Laura Buckingham from Fine Haven Counselling is starting a new walking group named “Walk, Talk, Support!”.
The cost is £5 per person, per walk and dogs are welcome too! For more information, please contact Laura on 07951 400390.
World Cup? Headingley Test Match? Surely nothing as exciting as the 25th annual needle match between Adderbury and Milton. Milton’s Andrew Stanley set the pace with a classic 88 runs from his cultured bat before the wily Steve Conway with 2-27 off his 7 overs stemmed the flow. Enter the gladiator Farmer Adams and his mighty weapon – not used in anger since 2014 – to smite a brilliant 87 not out off very few balls, sending spectators and dogs flying with numerous sixes, taking Milton to a mammoth 212 off 35 overs. So 426 runs off 70 overs in front of a baying crowd of dogs and partisans – who said village cricket was dying?
Let’s hope this signals to everyone that cricket in Adderbury and Milton can keep going – but we need more than just our one-match players to come forward in 2020, which is Milton’s 30th anniversary year. Are you in? Call me! – Nick Fennell 811059

.It’s September 1969, two months after Apollo 11 became the first ever crewed mission to successfully land on the moon and lunar fever is still gripping the nation. Everywhere children, their parents and their grandparents can be heard quoting the famed ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ Major Swing returns with his celestial ladies for a night of dancing and singing which – he promises – will be out of this world…!
