Change of Venue  14th January at Hollycroft and 21st January at Foxley.
 
Reading Room.  As there will be renovation works in the Reading Room starting in the gents’ toilets next Tuesday 13th January and expected to last two weeks,  it has been suggested that we do not use the Reading Room for Wednesday Drop In Coffee.  
 
There will still be Coffee on Wednesday but on 14th at Hollycroft (next to Old School) and on 21st at Foxley (pink house at the bottom of the village).  We look forward to seeing you at 10.30 on Wednesday as usual.

I've been passed a couple of photos by a villager who is keen to know when they were taken, there are definitely some current villagers in the photo.

​Probably best viewed on computer rather than a phone, if you click on the image below it will take you to the high resolution image and you can zoom in to spot the faces.

Please let me know ([email protected]) if you spot yourself and others and I will try to fill in all the names and republish it.

But more importantly in order to settle a bet we need to know when it was taken, what was the occasion and year?
​
Email me at [email protected] with any information you have, thanks in advance.

Dear residents of Great Coxwell,
 
Recently, I have been asked by four individual residents why I have stopped working as a mobile Ear Wax Removal Practitioner, and so I would just like to clarify that I haven't stopped and am very much still running the business, under the name Ear Clear.

I'm not sure how this misunderstanding occurred, but please be assured (especially to my regular patients) that my services continue the same as they have done for the last 3 years.
 
Kind regards,
Sandy John

This event is being organised by Great Coxwell Community Group.

I will be demonstrating 3 subject areas of the 'Essentials of First Aid' over 3 One Hour sessions on this coming Saturday in our village Reading Room and open to all of our village residents. Each session will comprise of the following topics to gain life saving skills and with an opportunity to participate and to 'have a go', if you wish to:
 

1. Basic Life Support with CPR and practice in the use of the Automated External Defibrillator/AED. (This will include an opportunity to access and familiarise our residents with the unit placed at the front of the Reading Room).
2. How to deal with a Choking episode and clearing an Airway Obstruction.
3. Dealing with a Wound and treatment of a Life-Threatening Bleed.

 
Whatever your plans for the day you will be welcome to 'drop-in' to any of the One Hour sessions:
 
Starting at - 9.30am, 11.00am & 12.30pm - Close-down will be at 2.00pm.
 
Please join us for FREE refreshments whatever your plans for the duration of the event, while we are supported by www.rrtglobal.org and one of their local 'Rapid Response Teams' who will be providing Bacon Butties/Donuts/Teas/Coffee (Yes, the barista bean variety!) and soft drinks, from a global organisation that supports the emergency services and our communities with welfare support and to provide resilience in times of protracted or major incidents.
 
High winds (although dry weather!) is predicted for Saturday and so I would not expect you to miss the wafting of cooked bacon over the village rooftops! You are invited to sample some of the fayre on offer while passing by, or dropping-in to one of my sessions. Enjoy!
 
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible, while capacity at the Reading Room will be limited to 50 per session. We will look to further future sessions if demand outstrips capacity on this occasion.
 
My thanks to our Parish Council, Trustees of our Community Fund for funding the day, along with the White Horse Practice (Faringdon) and our local Pharmacies, for support with health and information leaflets available on the day.
 
Please avoid parking in the area adjacent to the Reading Room as vehicular access of the RRT team will be required.
