A PPG works with a GP practice to give the patients’ opinion on the service it provides. It is a way for patients to let the practice know what matters most to them and to find solutions to problems. Earlier this year the Kidlington & Yarnton Medical Group invited several patients to set up a PPG and you can find more about the Group on the practice web-site www.kidlingtonandyarntonsurgery.co.uk. We have held three meetings so far and have drawn up a questionnaire that will be sent to a random selection of patients, and we have now arranged an Ope n Meeting for anyone to come to. This will be on Wednesday, 31st October at the Yarnton Medical Practice, Rutten Lane, Yarnton from 4.30 p.m. – 6.30 p.m. This will be mainly about Carers, but members of the group will also be there to listen to your views on how the surgeries are run. We have invited several Carers Support Groups to come and bring their leaflets and to explain to people what support they can offer, and maybe give them advice on what help is available, so if you care for someone or are likely to become a Carer, please do come along. Light refreshments will be available and we look forward to seeing you on 31st October, so put it on your calendar now.

At the end of July, I got my wish for some space, some 'down time' before moving to Yarnton to be the next Team Vicar. I have now at the time of writing, been off for a month, unheard of in clergy circles. I have enjoyed the freedom of being able to worship at any church I like, sitting in the congregation, attempting to look normal and as 'unvicary' as possible. Sometimes it has worked, sometimes I have been spotted. You can, however, have too much of a good thing (or certainly enough of one at any rate). I am now raring to go, itching to get stuck into a new job, a new place and a new community. I have already met some of you, and have been spied buying supplies at the wonderful shop on the corner of Church Lane (do I get a discount?) for the animals I will be bringing with me from Birmingham. Waiting for something new to begin can be frustrating. I am currently thinking about the big move, packing up boxes of books, having to go through cupboards, creating two piles, one for packing, one for recycling, etc. But the time has not yet come, there are still some days to go. Having a big sort out before moving is good. It helps to work out what you need, and what has been gathering dust for far too long. It sometimes takes bravery to put things on the 'to go' pile. Will I need it at some point? Can I really part with that pair of jeans that I have had for years and will never fit into again? Some things have sentimental value, old photographs for example, or that old teapot from my aunt that has never poured properly and is chipped and battered. Somehow it ends up in the 'keep' pile after all. As priests, we are called to pack up from time to time, to move on and to minister in another place. It is daunting, exciting, challenging and inspiring. We leave all we know behind; we start again with a new set of people, building relationships, making friends, enabling each other to move on in our own lives, both within and without the church, depending on who we are. What a wonderful place to move on to! I took Oscar (my badly behaved labrador) for a walk across the fields towards the canal when I visited a few weeks ago. I saw birds of prey, more butterflies than I ever saw during several years in Birmingham, and bumped into a lovely couple visiting from America. 'You are so lucky to live here' said the wife. Luck has nothing to do with it. We are put where we are because we have a job to do, something wonderful to do for God and for each other. It might not feel like it at times, but it is my belief that we are all part of a master plan. As I finish my sorting out, and as the 'to keep' pile gets deeper, I am reminded of some advice that was given to me as I prepared for ordination. If we are unable to put aside the things that we don't really need, we cannot see the new things, the new situations that can lead us into huge amounts of happiness. These situations will be different for all of us. And so, as I prepare to arrive just in time for Harvest Festival, I ask you a question. Are you ready for a new Vicar? Are you ready to take a step into the unknown, to step into St.

  • I Understand from a Notice Circulated to My Mothers Home in Park Close Yarnton That an Application Has Been Made by Oxford Prog
    1 Appendix 4 From: MARTIN GILBERT To: Licensing Subject: Application for a new premises licence at Yarnton Manor Date: 06 July 2015 19:17:51 I understand from a notice circulated to my Mothers home in Park Close Yarnton that an application has been made by Oxford Programs Ltd for a new premises licence under the Licencing Act 2003 for Yarnton Manor in Church Lane Yarnton. The provision of entertainment in the form of Indoor and outdoor films, live and recorded music plus also the provision of late night refreshments and alcohol till 3.00am This is unacceptable. The site is only some 300 meters from Park Close which is a sheltered housing complex where old and vulnerable people live. These residents will be greatly disturbed by loud music and possibly frightened by loud and drunk people at 3.00am Also the vehicle noise could be a big problem to these residents in the early hours of the morning. These activities are obviously designed to draw in large crowds of people. The lane to reach these premises is very narrow and not suitable for heavy traffic. Has The Manor adequate parking facilities? Has anyone stopped to consider these retired residents and the impact it will have on the rest of the village. I therefore object on behalf of my mother, who is 100 years old and registered blind.

Matters Arising from these Minutes: Councillor Kerford-Byrnes congratulated the residents for their interest in the Parish Council meetings. He then explained that momentum on the proposal to create a Unitary Authority for Oxfordshire had stalled due to the General Election and the loss of the Conservative majority on OCC. The proposal and a counter-proposal have both been submitted to the DCLG but no response to either has yet been received. Bus services: Thanks were expressed to Rachel Clark, who continues to gather valuable data on bus passenger numbers, and also to Max Cowell who has kindly volunteered to enter this data onto a spreadsheet. The aim is to have a graphical display of information which can be used to make the case for increased services. Councillor Ultsch noted that on Friday 30th June, 12 people were waiting for the bus in Fritwell.

    Bodicote House Bodicote Banbury Oxfordshire OX15 4AA www.cherwell.gov.uk 31 July 2017 Cherwell District Council Community Governance Review 2017 – Possible change in the number of Parish Councillors in some parishes Cherwell District Council is carrying out a Community Governance Review. This is the process that allows the Council to make changes to parishes, such as parish boundaries and numbers of parish councillors. Five parish councils contacted Cherwell District Council, to ask for a review of their number of parish councillors. A working group of district councillors considered the requests, and made recommendations to full Council on 17 July 2017. Councillors agreed all of the recommendations and this is your opportunity to comment. Fritwell Parish Council Fritwell Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from six to seven. The justification for the request is the increase in electorate during the 1990s, when significant development took place within the parish. The last parish election for Fritwell was held in 2015, and there were seven candidates for the six seats. The electorate for Fritwell on 1 December 2016 (annual publication of the new Electoral Register) was 548. Guidance from the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) recommends a parish council of seven where the electorate is up to 900. On this basis, the recommendation is that number of parish councillors be increased by one so there would be seven parish councillors from the next scheduled election in Fritwell in 2019. Stratton Audley Stratton Audley Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from five to seven.

  • Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire
    Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire By E. T. LEEDS N 1928 and 1930 occasion offered itself for the exploration of two Anglo­ I Saxon cemeteries in the north of the county, the first at North Leigh, the second at Chadlington. No full account of these investigations has since been published, though a brief notice has appeared in the Anglo-Saxon section of the recently published first volume of the Victoria History of Oxfordshire (pp. 357-60). The present lull in active field-work presents an opportunity to issue a fuller report of the discoveries then made, even though it involves some repetition of what has already been written in the Victoria History. An additional reason, if such be needed, is the scarcity of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries north of Oxford. Before these two cemeteries came to light, the only ones known consisted of graves at Hornton, Lower Heyford, Souldern and Yarnton. All were small groups; none was richly furnished, and in nearly all cases the records are quite summary. As has been remarked in the Victoria History, north Oxfordshire seems to have be~n widely, but sparsely occupied in early Anglo­ Saxon days. It is all the more important, therefore, to publish as full accounts as possible of any cemeteries that have been examined in recent times. NORTH LEIGH (O.S. 6 in., 26 SW) For initial information about this cemetery thanks are due to Miss Mason (now Mrs. Wickham Steed) of Eynsham Hall, who submitted for inspection certain objects which had been found by Mr. Brown of North Leigh when quarrying in a field on the north side of the road to Wileot, immediately south of the lane leading to Holly Court Farm.
