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.

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 [email protected]. The best part of our performance is Adderbury Barmy Army and we look forward to seeing all our supporters at the Banbury ground. The teas and BBQ are well worth the trip as will the Hooky in The Bell later!
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.
We have a few spaces in Cubs and Scouts. If you would like to have a free trial session, please reserve your place by sending an email to Cubs – Zoe Lee [email protected] or to Scouts – Catherine Hillier [email protected].
We meet in Church House on the first and second Tuesday of each month from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm. New people are always welcome, some to learn to knit if wished. We have kindly donated wool and would like to see it made into blankets and garments. These we give to charity and one donation was to the Salvation Army which they gave to people in England. We really do produce a lot of items in spite of plenty of ‘natter’ and laughter over our cups of tea. It is a fun afternoon so do come along. Go to Read More to see pattern for blanket squares.
