11th June - WI Summer Outing to Bothy Vineyard, Frilford.  Dinner afterwards at the The Trout, Tadpole Bridge.

I am once again delighted to be part of the team hosting the Great Barn Festival. This year the event has lots of great quality theatre for families, live music, Shakespeare, arts and crafts to try as well as to browse and buy, a bar in the Hayloft, a great cup of coffee, ice cream and fresh wood-fired pizza. We would like to invite you all to join us. 

If you are resident in Great Coxwell entrance to the grounds will be free and you will be able to enjoy a great deal of our programme without charge. The rights of way for walkers will not be altered by the event – we even have some homemade doggy treats for our canine friends passing through. We will gladly discount any of the performance tickets where a purchase is required to you as friends and neighbours. 

This year the event will support several local charities and on Sunday morning we would love to see as many faces as possible as we have the massed choirs of WOAPA and Soundabout (one of our charities) performing as a pop up choir in the grounds. They would be so pleased to swell the number of voices and unless something remarkable happens in the news we might get a little bit of TV coverage of the charity event too.

Please have a look at our website www.greatbarnfestival.co.uk for further details or call me, Ainslie, on 07774 459046. I am in Danes Cottage (the one covered in creeper next to the post box, it has no front door) drop by if I can help, if you would like to buy discounted tickets or if you would like a paper copy of the programme. I hope you will enjoy the weekend.
​

I would like to give a huge thanks to all the people who made cakes, worked in the Cafe, gave donations to buy food and provided food for our pop-up Cafe. A magnificent effort and we raised just under £2000 for the Village. This would not be possible if you all hadn't been so generous with your donations and offers of work,  which keeps our expenses to a minimum.

Thanks Pam

Dear all,

Here is the flyer for our next concert.  Betty and Leyla are the prizewinners for the Musical Odyssey course,  organised by Katya Lebedeva, and which happens every year in Greece.  We are lucky that part of their prize is to come and perform here at Stonevale.  

Best wishes,
Lynette

Webster Walk on Colleymore Farm, by kind permission of Adam Twine - All welcome
Sunday May 12th 10.30am - 11am start, followed by Picnic and treasure hunt.

Angela and Peter Scales will be holding their annual Donkey walk, (Webster Walk) and everyone is welcome to join in on Sunday May 12th.  After the death of their beloved donkey Webster in 2007, these walks were started in his memory and have been raising funds for groups, clubs or individuals who use their donkeys for therapeutic work with children and young adults.  Donations to date have amounted to £20,937.

In 2019, Webster walk sponsorship funds will be donated to Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary, specifically, to phase 4 of their newly opened donkey hospital.  This phase is to acquire equipment such as a sterilising unit and diagnostic equipment.

If you would like to support the Webster walk to raise donations for this project, please contact Jo Coleman at Danes House (01367 240980).

For further information please contact Angela and Peter Scales 01367240163 and see poster attached.
