It is planned that there will be a memorial service here to remember Bar in September. This update on the data centre proposal for Wicklesham Quarry SSSI and local opposition may be of interest to people of great Coxwell.

Bar moved to Great Coxwell more than 20 years ago. She fell in love with it instantly. Over the years she became more and more involved with village life, the church and the community - even more so in the past decade. As a family we would like to thank you all for the incredible love, support and friendship you have extended to her over the years. She loved so many of you. She was often humbled by the care and support she had: i.e. cakes that frequently turned up on the doorstep. Since she stopped terrorising everyone in her car and moved to more sedate wheeled transportation, I know that one of the highlights of her day was to get on her scooter and ride up through the village chatting to so many of you as she went. She will miss you all very much. Thanks you for love, cakes and enriching her life. Fondest regards The Gilmour family FURTHER UPDATE:
The parish defibrillator has been temporarily replaced by a loan unit. The loan defibrillator is in the green cabinet outside the Reading room as before and is 'emergency ready’. I will let you know when the original defibrillator is returned. Ian Mason - Great Coxwell Defibrillator Group UPDATE: Defibrillator update: we were expecting a replacement defibrillator to arrive today (26th May), but Parcelforce have cancelled the delivery so it won’t come until Tuesday (30th May) next week. I’ll keep you posted on developments. IMPORTANT - DEFIBRILLATOR: Dear all, we have been having problems with the parish defibrillator, and it is now temporarily out of service. It has been recalled by the manufacturer for testing and repair. In case of emergency call the ambulance service on 999 and they will direct you to the nearest functioning device. I’ve asked the manufacturer if they can provide a loan machine until ours returns after repair. They are checking to see if they have one that they can provide for us temporarily. I will keep you notified of developments. I apologise for this interruption of service, but these circumstances beyond my control. Best wishes Ian Mason A few weeks ago a visitor left a wrap behind. It is fleecy and large, with a scalloped edge, Grey-green in colour. We cannot remember whose it might be.
Please ring on 241934 if you think it is yours. Dear Village
It has been agreed it makes sense to start the Garage Sale at the same time as the Village Teas on June 11. Therefore the start time for both will be 1.00pm. Apologies for any confusion! If there are left over plants from Artweeks, please deliver to South View, Puddleduck Lane and we will sell on behalf of the Village Funds. Thank you. PS - Normal timings for Village Teas will resume next time - 2:30PM to 5:00PM Thank you to everyone who supported us on our Isle of Wight Challenge at the weekend. All safely finished bar a few blisters and aching muscles.
