I have two builder’s planks (wooden) outside, abandoned by our builders about a year ago.
Free to good home – size: 3.4m long, 22 cm wide, 4 cm thick. Anyone can come and pick them up from our drive anytime. Cheers, Russ Payne Stonevale Some of you already know that I recently qualified as an Ear Wax Removal Clinician using Microsuction. Now that I have my qualification, I would like a week of further practice and thought there’s no better way of getting volunteers than asking my fellow Great Coxwell residents!
What is Microsuction? Microsuction is a safe and effective treatment where ear wax is removed using a compact suction device. A microscopic camera is used to get a clear view inside the patient's ear to identify the extent of the problem. The low pressure suction device is then used in conjunction with the camera to gradually and carefully remove earwax from the canal. The device used reduces the risk of damage being caused to the patient's ear canal or ear drum as a result of the procedure. Please only get in touch if you feel your ears could be blocked by wax and you are prepared to oil your ears 4-5 days before your appointment. I will be working as a mobile clinician so I will be coming to your home to perform the procedure. So, if you’d like your ears checked, and the ear wax removed, if it shows to be a problem, then please do contact me :- Sandy John (Arch Cottage) 01367 244034 / 07773 692432 sandy.john@live.co.uk VACANCY FOR A PARISH COUNCILLOR The Parish Council are looking for a new member It is your chance to make a difference by having a say about local issues, representing the views of Parishioners and getting involved for the benefit of the community.

The tradition of the Christmas Crib in the Barn at Great Coxwell goes back to the year 2000. It was inaugurated by a group of villagers led by Geoff Lee (formerly of Stonelea), whose idea it was to have a collection at the end of the service for St Giles’ Church and The Batemans Trust (a local charity which supports disadvantaged children in South India). The nativity/crib scene will be in place at the Barn from Saturday afternoon 10th December 2022. As with all great traditions, the Great Coxwell Christmas Nativity Scene and Christmas Eve Carol Service has developed over the years and now includes a Christmas Eve Procession through the village with Mary, Joseph and a donkey! This gives us a chance to remember Emma Watters (formerly of Warenne House), who played a part in this later addition to the tradition. In 2021 we introduced the opportunity to buy and share Christmas drinks from Danes Cottage (“Danes Inn”) raising money for the village Community Fund; Ainslie and Dan look forward to welcoming guests to the Inn this year after the Carol Service. This year volunteers from the ‘Longcot Ringers’ will be jingling their Bells to Christmas and Carol tunes outside the Barn for those who are unable to walk along with the procession. Timings The Procession and Carol Service are on 24th December 2022, Christmas Eve: 5.15 Bell Ringer outside the Barn (for those unable to walk with the procession) 5.20pm Procession gathers at the southern end (bottom) of the village outside Foxley (pink cottage). 5.30pm Procession starts. 6.00pm (or earlier; Service will commence on arrival of the procession) Carol Service in Great Barn (cash donations to the charity collection will be gratefully received). 6.50pm Danes Inn Christmas Drinks (outside). Please bring cash (proceeds to the Community Fund). **Advanced Notice. Road Closure** The VOWH has granted a road closure on Christmas Eve 24 December 20022 from 5.15pm to 6pm. Holloway Road will be closed from the Barn to Spicers Cottage to provide protection to the Christmas Eve Village Procession. Annabelle’s Nursery has offered their car park for vehicles during the road closure. Access to the village can be made on foot using the public footpaths/pavements. Keeping everyone safe There will be marshals with torches to guide us and first aiders on hand. Please:
Our sincere thanks goes out to: All of our village Christmas volunteers; St Giles Church; the National Trust for hosting; Kiera and Muffin the Donkey, The Longcot Ringers; and to O&O Electrics for overseeing the electrical safety. St Giles Church Service
On Sunday, 11th, at 10.30 am, we will be welcoming the Revd Chris Etherton, a retired priest who lives in Faringdon, to take our Holy Communion service and preach. As this is the last service in our church before Christmas, we shall be singing carols instead of hymns. There will be coffee and cake in the Vicarage afterwards. We hope as many people as possible will come to welcome Chris. Evening of Music and Bubbles The members of the PCC would like to add their thanks to all those who worked so hard to make this evening so successful, to Pam, Pauline and Mandy for their superb organisation and to Lynette and all the other musicians who gave us such a wonderful concert - not forgetting the chefs of the lovely canapés that just seemed to keep coming and coming!! The amount raised will be very gratefully received. It is planned to put it towards a roof repair fund, as the south side of the nave in particular is going to be in need of serious restoration before much longer. Thanks to everyone again. Pat Churchwarden on behalf of the members of the PCC A parcel for Mr Aditi Satija has been misdelivered, if you know of the recipient can you let Sally Tipple know please.
