We are looking to rent a field locally, does anyone have or knows about a field to rent?

Any help would be appreciated.

We would use the field for a pony or two little Shetlands that we have been offered that need caring for.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

For several days there has been an 'abandoned' pink bike lying on the bank by the path leading up to the church porch - it looks practically full size - an Apollo Recall, which has number 84 on the front forks. I have had no responses to a general enquiry and, if no one shows any interest, John Rounce has kindly offered to take it to one of the Faringdon bike shops as they may be able to put it to good use.

On Wednesday, we delivered a mountain of food and other provisions donated by the village for people arriving from Afghanistan.
 
Oxford Asylum Welcome were very grateful! Please see their note below, with thanks again for everyone's generosity.

Dear Richard
 
I wanted to write straight away to thank you and your whole community for the incredibly generous food donation that you brought to Asylum Welcome today. This is a great boost to our stocks and very, very much appreciated. It is wonderful that your whole village has come together in this way to support refugees and asylum seekers. I can't thank you all enough!
 
Very best wishes
 
Janet

Reminder - Next Saturday, 25th September at 5pm

Village Barbecue at the Vicarage

Just to remind everyone that we would love you all (children included) o come to our village barbecue at the Vicarage next Saturday.  Do come and join Maureen for a sociable evening - including burgers, hot dogs and cake!  Wine is also provided, as are soft drinks if you prefer (or are under age!).  If your preference is for beer, lager, cider or anything other, please bring your own.  You don't have to be a church-goer.  Maureen is the Vicar for the whole parish and more three days a week.  The rest of the time she is a villager - one of us.  She has already joined our WI and is keen to get to know more of you, so do come along.   Although the current forecast is favourable, there is a marquee ready in case of inclement weather so that need not prevent you coming.  We hope to see as many of you as possible.

Thanks to those who have already been in contact. If you haven't already done so, it would be useful to know if you intend to come (phemes43@gmail.com or 01367 241632, or any other member of the PCC) so that we don't run short!

Pat and the PCC members (Sylvia, Jane and Jennifer)

A couple of pieces of news about the book exchange based in the old village phone box:

Those lovely Greener Great Coxwell people have set up a lending library of books on environmental issues, conservation and nature.  These are LOAN ITEMS only, so please, if you take one, please return after you’ve read it.

The book exchange has been really successful since it was set up a few years ago.  It is bursting to overflowing with books (I had to remove a few to keep in storage yesterday to keep the titles visible and prevent books getting creased and damaged.)  At the moment  there isn't any room for any additional book donation so if you’ve got books for the book exchange and you need to re-home them urgently, please can you drop them off at Orchard End (at the bottom of the Church Path and opposite the Old School) and I’ll store them for the future.  Or give me a call (07973 793089) and I’ll arrange to collect.

People arriving from Afghanistan are still in need of support and supplies.
 
We thought it might be helpful to have a common list and collection point for any Great Coxwell villagers who might like to contribute - we know some folk have already made generous donations. 
 
Sally Tipple has kindly offered to collect things at Clayton Villa. Please drop off any donations by 18 September, or as soon as you like.
 
We've checked in with Asylum Welcome in Oxford and, in particular, they're collecting:

✅Rice
✅Tinned tomatoes
✅Chickpeas
✅Milk (UHT)
✅Tinned sweetcorn
✅Tinned beans
✅Tinned fruit
✅Baked beans
✅Sanitary products

people can also drop off at 3 Danes Court or call Richard on 07896 239113 with any questions.

Richard, Sally, Jan

Hello All,

Please can we do something for the people who have arrived here from Afghanistan with nothing. We are all so lucky.

Ideas please.

​​Are you interested in learning about Yoga but don't know where to start?

Join Rachel for a 5 week beginners Yoga course on Mondays at The Ranch in Great Coxwell. This course will start on September 6th @ 6:30PM.

Movements will be supported with props such as chairs and bolsters to make the practice more accessible. 

This course includes a 20 min phone consultation so I know what adjustments to the practice will be needed for each student. 

Contact Rachel Wannerton on 07928583879 or rachel@nurturedwellness.co.uk to book your place or ask any questions you may have.

I hope to practice with you soon.

-Rachel

P.S- Yoga is for everybody, you don't have to be flexible to start practicing!

Thanks for all the lovely pictures which I have received, a reminder to send an image to fi.wattersf@gmail.com by Sunday/Monday if you would like your dog to be on the card! :)

Thanks!!
Fiona W
