Denise Edwards 868 (please leave a message), has now taken over this service, please leave a message. Although prescriptions will be delivered on a Friday, she cannot guarantee a particular delivery time. FELLOWSHIP LUNCH This takes place on the first Thursday of each month in the Village Hall. All ages are welcome and for £4 you will receive a hot meal, with sweet and cheese. You can just turn up, but it would help the organisers if you could let them know that you plan to attend.

Contact Adam BOOK CLUB The book club meets every six weeks or so. Members read and discuss the books. It’s very informal and a great way of coming across new authors. However, as we meet in each other’s houses, there is a limit on numbers. The current one is full but there is a waiting list. Or how about setting up another group? Contact Mikela 86 SWINDERBY PHONE BOX has been lovingly restored by Simon Longson. It is regu- larly decorated by villagers to celebrate certain times of year. Look out for the next decoration and get involved. The more the merrier. 7 Continued……...WHAT GOES ON IN SWINDERBY? CHOPS Central Heating Oil Purchasing Scheme is a simple organisation designed to save us all some money on our central heating oil. I collect orders about 6 times a year. On my buying day, I get the best price possible and advise everyone where the oil is coming from and the current price. The saving comes from the bulk delivery into the village which normally means at least one full tanker load and 25+ deliveries. Payment depends on the supplier, but the worst scenario is that they phone for a debit card prior to delivery (they all charge a premium for Credit Cards). I do not handle any payment and have no vested interest in any oil company. If you run out of oil between deliveries, you can make your own arrangements and I am not in the least bit offended.
