Gardening Club Summer Show – 29 August
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. The Schedules, for Adults and Juniors, are now in Adderbury Stores, the Library and on the Adderbury web page. For the adults the usual range of fruit and vegetables, plants, flowers, jams, breads, cakes etc. For the Juniors a few craft based classes, which might give them something to do in the summer holidays.

The Garden Party will be held in Manor House, Mill Lane between 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm by kind permission of Lady Jacomb. There will be lots of stalls as well as Punch and Judy. Entry is £5 for adults and includes tea and a piece of cake. Cash only (cards not accepted). All proceeds for the work of St Mary’s Church.
The 32nd staging of the needle match between Adderbury and Milton will be at Banbury Cricket Club starting at 1.00 pm. Adderbury will be defending the Millennium Trophy inaugurated as part of the village celebrations in 1995. We really need a passionate team of Adderburians. We’ve got the backbone of a side but we need five or six more stalwarts up for a game and a few beers. If you fancy a game phone Nick Fennell on 811059 or email 
Dr Rowena E Archer will give a talk about the rise and fall of Alice Chaucer in The institute – doors open at 7.15 pm and the talk starts a 7.30 pm. Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk was the granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer. She was born a commoner but died a duchess and is buried in a magnificent tomb in Ewelme Church.
