Wednesday 5th April - Ethel & Ernest (PG)
(2016 - Animation, Drama, History) 
Veteran cartoonist Raymond 'The Snowman' Briggs.  An award-winning graphic novel about an ordinary London family living through extraordinary times, brought to life in this lovingly hand-drawn tale.  Based on Briggs's own parents, the story follows Ernest (voiced by Jim Broadbent) and Ethel (Brenda Blethyn) as they deal with World War II and the years thereafter with a combination of grit, wit and good, old-fashioned British resolve. The movie equivalent of a nice cup of tea and a bikkie!

Writer: Raymond Briggs (graphic novel), Roger Mainwood (screenplay)
Stars: Jim Broadbent, Brenda Blethyn, Luke Treadaway

The inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. Seretse and Ruth defied family, Apartheid and empire - their love triumphed over every obstacle flung in their path and in so doing they transformed their nation and inspired the world.

FARINGDON  & DISTRICT U3A IN APRIL 2017

31/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The April speaker will be Bjorn Watson talking on Thursday 12th April 2017 in the Faringdon Corn Exchange at 2.30pm.

His subject is “T.E.Lawrence – the man behind the myth.”  Lawrence was perhaps the most charismatic hero to emerge from the carnage of the first World War.  Multi-talented, he was a soldier, guerrilla leader, a scholar, archaeologist, historian, and Arabist, fast boat and aircraft designer, but he is best known as immortalised by Peter O’Toole in the film “Lawrence of Arabia”.  What is fact and what is fiction?  Come and find out at Bjorn’s talk. 

Refreshments are available afterwards.  Visitors are welcome but are required to pay an entrance fee of £1.50.  Further details are available on the website - www.faringdondistrictu3a.wordpress.com.

Artweeks 6th, 7th and 13th, 14th May

24/3/2017

Pam Smith is organising the Cafe Coxwell in the Reading Room over both weekends of artweeks. It is a huge undertaking helped only by the wonderful people who volunteer to help. Help in the kitchen, serving, cooking or donating food. If you can spare a few hours on any of the 4 days please contact us.

Artweeks is a wonderful event in the village with folk coming from all over the county, and further away, to see the art and also have lunch or tea. It could not be done without all the amazing help we get from almost every household. Thank you, and here’s to another great artweeks.

Great Coxwell Parish Precept 2017-8

24/3/2017

0 Comments

 
Parishioners will be aware that historically the Precept in Great Coxwell has been lower than that of many comparable villages in the Vale that do not offer the same facilities (such as the play park and the Parish Room).  Parishioners will have recently been notified that the annual Precept for Great Coxwell has increased by 57 per cent for the coming year.  For a band D property this is an increase from last year of £16.83, making the total cost £46.28 per annum. 
  
Before making this change, the matter was carefully discussed by the Parish Councillors at the public Parish Council meetings held in the Parish Room on 12th September 2016 and 14th November 2016.  (The minutes of those meetings can be obtained here). In addition, two extra-ordinary Council meetings were held on 5th September 2016 and 5th December 2016.  (Again, the reports of those meetings will be posted on the parish website).

The decision was taken to raise the Precept because the Council has become aware that over the next few years there will be some very large maintenance and repair costs for the village play park and Parish Room.  Funds must be available to meet these costs.  In recent years monies raised by village fund-raising initiatives (Monthly Teas, Christmas Fair, Artweeks etc.) have been used for the running costs of the park and Parish Room.   Unfortunately, these funds alone will not to be large enough to meet these anticipated costs.   

The Council and Officers understand that this increase may have caused concern amongst Parishioners. We strive to provide good, well-maintained and safe facilities for the benefit of parishioners and always seek the best value-for-money when ordering goods and services.  We would like to reassure everyone that we will continue to do so. 

If you have any questions or suggestions, please come along to our bi-monthly public Parish Council meetings.  The next one is at 7.30pm on Monday 8th of May 2017 in the Parish Room.
