Bicester and Warden Hill Hunt Branch Bicester and Warden Hill Hunt Branch December 2017 Newsletter “As a member of the Pony Club, I stand for the best in sportsmanship as well as horsemanship. I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well played and take winning or losing in my stride, remembering that without good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being.

From your District Commissioner My first year as the District Commissioner for Bicester Pony Club is drawing to an end and I can honestly say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be!! I’m absolutely certain that this is because I’ve been surrounded by a hugely competent and supportive committee, wonderful parents and an amazing group of children!! I’m very sorry to lose Sue Leach from the committee but she assures me that she is still very much around and happy to help! Alexia Lewis is stepping down from organising our fence judges and having done such a great job for many years she will be hugely missed. While December is a fairly quiet month for Pony Club, don’t forget to book onto the Olympia Trip on 18th December and the working rally / mini jumping is sure to be great fun! Merry Christmas to you all and I look forward to seeing you in January. Kirstie Wakelin BRANCH COMPETITION DATES 2018 Sun 18 March Showjumping + Dressage Show, Addington Manor (inc.

This can be done by your District Commissioner (Kirstie Wakelin), Assistant District Commissioner (Wendy Kerr) or Clare Davis (Area Teams Manager). Contact details are at the end of this newsletter. Please can you also check your child’s stirrups (this is so important) and ensure that there is at least a ¼ inch gap (the thickness of a biro) between their boot and the stirrup (especially if you’ve recently bought them new boots). This is to prevent their foot being caught in the stirrup should they fall off. For Cross-Country riding (over fences 0.80cm high and above), including Eventing, Tetrathlon, and Horse Trials (also Pony Racing) whether it be tests, rallies, competitions or training and Mounted Games competitions, a jockey skull cap of an even round or elliptical shape, with a smooth or slightly abrasive surface, having no peak or peak type extensions, no noticeable protuberances above the eyes to the front, not greater than 5mm, smooth or rounded in nature are permitted. A removable hat cover with a light flexible peak may be used if required. It is strongly recommended that a jockey skull cap is worn for cross country riding over lower fences. FROM 2018 NEW PONY CLUB HAT TAGS WILL BE MINT GREEN (replacing the current white with purple ones). THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BE AND BRC ARE ALSO ISSUING MINT GREEN HAT TAGS SO YOU CAN USE YOUR PC TAG AT OTHER EVENTS (and vice versa). THERE WILL BE A NEW HAT STANDARD ACCEPTED IN 2018 – THE EN1384 2018 (it must have the date next to it). THERE WILL ALSO BE A NEW BODY PROTECTOR STANDARD INTRODUCED IN 2018 – but the current 2009 one will be allowable until 2020.

The site lies to the north of Culworth Road and on the eastern edge of the village of Chipping Warden, within the village confines but flanked by open countryside to the east and a recreation ground to the immediate south-east. The existing access, a single track lane, connects to Culworth Road immediately adjacent to the car park serving the village hall and cricket club.

To the immediate north are a couple of larger newer detached properties set back from Byfield Road; number 32’s rear garden flanks the northern boundary of the site.

  • Sulgrave Www1 September 2006
    Sulgrave News September 2006 Another year older and ............. (complete accordingly) Wow, doesn’t two years pass quickly when you’re enjoying yourself! I must say the Village Shop training has been very enjoyable and Diana and I have now done a few sessions. Thanks to everyone for putting up with the odd glitch as we struggle to come to terms with PLUs, Accounts, Functions, Over-rings, etc. At least I know one end of a broom from the other! I’m sorry to say that I’m back in a car, commuting to the West Midlands. I was disappointed to find that I can catch a train south and arrive in London by 6:50 am., but couldn’t catch a train north until 6:53 am! This gave me so little margin for the unexpected (or expected) delays that the offer of a cheap but well maintained and hopefully reliable vehicle for half the price of a folding bike clinched the matter. I would say to Chiltern Railways, if the train isn’t there, you can’t use it! Once again a reminder about the email address for the Sulgrave Newsletter. It is [email protected] Deadline for the SEPTEMBER newsletter - 15th September. PLEASE NOTE THAT ARTICLES FOR THE NEWSLETTER CAN BE LEFT AT THE VILLAGE SHOP. Could I remind all contributors to provide a name and contact number with their articles- Thanks Tom Cockeram, editor Appletree Cottage, The Close, Greatworth, Banbury, OX17 2EB Telephone 01295 711326, or email [email protected] This Newsletter is an independent publication, edited and compiled by Tom Cockeram.

    NRA Thames 168 tact File RIVER CHERWELL GUARDIANS OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT NRA National Rivers Authority Thames Region Fact File-RIVERCHERWELL FACTS IN BRIEF • The River Cherwell rises at Charwelton in Northamptonshire and flows south to its confluence with the Thames near Iffley Fields, Oxford. • From its source to the Thames confluence, the river is 96.4 kms long and falls 100 m. • The Cherwell catchment drains an area of 906 sq.km and the average annual rainfall within the catchment is 700 mm. • The Oxford Canal runs parallel to the Cherwell and in places they mn in the same channel. • The catchment of the Cherwell is predominantly clay, making it liable to flooding in winter and sluggish flows in summer. • The river passes through the historic town of Banbury, where the largest cattle market in Europe is located. • The Cherwell valley is predominantly rural with many farms and small villages. The main towns are Banbury, Bicester and Kidlington, and part of Oxford is also within the catchment. THE NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY Established on 1st September 1989, the NRA is an independent public body charged with safeguarding and improving the natural water environment. It is responsible for flood defence, regulating the quality of rivers and groundwaters, balancing the needs of various water users, protecting and improving fish stocks and promoting water-based recreation of all kinds.
