We hope to see you there!

Private Pargeter was the last of the Adderbury Morris Boys to be killed during the war, his brother Percy having been the first.
The Annual Parish Meeting was held in the Methodist Hall. There were apologies from Councillors Clarke, Jelfs, Lyons and District Councillor McHugh.
Chairman Mrs Diane Bratt welcomed the well-attended meeting and the minutes of last year’s meeting were approved.
She then introduced the speaker Carol MacKay, County Emergency Planning Officer who gave a very interesting and enlightening talk about the plans for the county in the event of any major emergency that should arise.
Following the successful meeting there are now a number of useful leaflets for residents, available on the PC web site, on the ‘Community Emergency Planning’ page. There are leaflets about Business Continuity for home workers and small businesses, a snow guide, hedges and tree, preparing to evacuate and many more.
