IMPORTANT - DEFIBRILLATOR - FURTHER UPDATE

29/5/2023

 
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

Wrap found

24/5/2023

 
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.

Garage Sale

15/5/2023

 
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

Isle of Wight Challenge in Memory of Emma Watters in Aid of the Tessa Jowell Brain Tumour Foundation

17/4/2023

 
Many of you will remember my dear wife Emma who passed away in March 2021.

Our daughter Fiona has persuaded Emma's family and friends to take on various parts of the Isle of Wight Challenge over the weekend of 28/29th April. Fiona has the biggest challenge, running the full 106km circuit of the Isle of Wight over two days. The rest of us are doing either 25km or 50km running or walking.

Our goal is to raise £5000 for the Tessa Jowell foundation which aims to level up brain tumour treatments across UK hospitals . Emma followed Tessa's journey with her brain tumour closely and so we have been inspired to do what we can to help the foundation.

For  everyone in the village who knew and loved Emma we would be extremely grateful if you would consider donating to this worthwhile cause in her memory and help us reach our target. 

Fi Watters is fundraising for The Tessa Jowell Foundation - Prism the Gift Fund (justgiving.com)

Thank you in anticipation

Repair Café

12/4/2023

 
Picture
The Repair Café in Faringdon, run by The Pump House Project, managed to salvage and repair 42kgs of items from being retired to landfill in a single session at the start of the month. Now located in the United Church on Coxwell Street with plenty of adjacent parking it is even easier to access. Experts can try to restore to working order everything from huge flat screen TVs, vintage Kenwoods to adjustable walking sticks. Two thirds of all the broken items brought in on the last event are now back in working order. The next café is on the 22nd of April but it will become a regular feature in the town diary. Saving pennies and saving the planet while you have a lovely coffee.
