The Cotswolds most romantic venue opens its gates for a SPECTACLE of LIGHT

Sudeley Castle, voted the Cotswolds’ most romantic place, is opening for a special event throughout December. For the very first time, visitors will be able to discover the night-time magic of the Castle and its gardens, as they are brought to life through a wonderful spectacle of light and sound.A brainchild of two experienced event producers, Michael Dale and Nic Beeby, both have local connections but also careers leading back to the world renowned Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe. ‘We decided to create an exciting after-dark experience at Sudeley that would appeal to all ages, where everyone can follow a trail of light around the gardens and into the romantic ruins.’

Spectacle of Light runs from 1st to 23rd December and will have specific entry time slots starting from 5.00pm onwards each evening. Warming winter treats and refreshments will be available on the Castle terrace and the new Visitor Centre will be in operation. General Booking is now open and there are EarlyBird discounts until 30th September. As there is limited capacity, tickets must be bought in advance either through the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre box office 01242 572573 or via the website SpectacleofLight.co.uk

Hands up anyone who had their heating on in August?

We did – only a little bit, and only for a short period of time, but the house was distinctly chilly and, on top of all the other things to think about last month, keeping warm at home was not going to be one of them! (It did go off before bed-time.)

There was a lot to think about in August, starting with Brexit and bank rates, running through to school holidays and is it safe to fly these days? And traffic! BUT….

Thinking positively, August did bring us some amazingly hot and glorious days, when the rest of Europe (who?) was enjoying a dose of typically English grey skies! The Cotswold countryside loved it, of course, and everywhere we looked the fields, allotments and gardens were stunning. Anyone visiting the Cotswolds could not have been unimpressed!

And then there were the Olympics, and people who don’t normally watch sport at all were sat on sofas, on commuter trains and on holiday, their faces bright and spirits lifted by Team GB. It was perfect, giving all our younger people (and some older ones, too) an opportunity to think about how they can achieve their own dreams.

Last month we featured our annual Photo Competition, and answer sheets have been arriving by email*and post. Exciting! We hope to be contacting winners from mid-September.

This month’s magazine is truly eclectic, and I hope you will enjoy it. (By the way, if ever you feel like giving us some feedback please do – we are happy to deal with ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ – but we don’t deal with anonymous letters.)

We hope to receive your Photo Competition entry form – even if it has only half a dozen answers on it, you could be a winner! So please make sure that we receive it by 1st 7th*September.

Best wishes,

Editor

*If you sent your Answer Sheet by email and didn’t get an acknowledgement, please send it again – we have a fierce spam-catcher, and it could have been knocked into the Spamfolder. We will extend the final date to Wednesday 7th September to give extra time for this message to circulate.

One of the most common causes of complaint we hear about at the gym is backpain - it can be extremely debilitating, causing chronic tiredness, depression andirritability. Your back is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, nerves andjoints, which can make it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pain. In mostcases it is not serious damage but small muscle strains, sprains or pinched nerves –even so, these can be very unpleasant and the longer these small injuries are leftuntreated, the more likelihood there is of developing a chronic back problem.

Here are some of the most common causes and what you can do to help;

1. Commuting and Computing; your back is compressed when you sit for too longso try to move as much as possible during the day, and align your spine properlywhen sitting.

2. Overdoing it at the weekend; gardening or a game of tennis when your body isn’tprepared are two common culprits. The only preventative solution here is exercise.

3. Absentmindedness; picking something up from the floor, loading the dishwasher– it’s always the simplest of things. Prevent this by teaching your body to engage itscore muscles properly .

If you do find yourself suffering, the first step is to get things checked by aprofessional to rule out any serious damage. After that, a programme of stretching,strengthening and back maintenance can work wonders for long term relief. THEWORST THING you can do is NOTHING!

THE COTSWOLDS: it’s not the towns that define it, even if those towns are where visitors cluster; it’s the countryside, land that’s tended and tamed yet never trussed. Land in which settlements don’t so much exist as merge with the fields. And it is this landscape that is best explored on foot or by bike. This half day cycle tour, just twenty miles long, is straightforward to find and peaceful to follow. Main roads are almost entirely avoided and the rider can sit back, relax and enjoy the best that this landscape has to offer. The route is a circuit so the starting point can be chosen individually, but the thirsty cyclist will want to bear in mind possible refreshment stops. For this reason perhaps start at Oddington – the Mill Cafe in Lower Slaughter will then be about half way around.

From Oddington to the perfect breathing space

The road climbs through Oddington, rising straight to a wonderful viewpoint across and beyond the Evenlode valley. A left turn then swoops downhill, over the former railway bridge and on into Bledington where the King’s Head, beside a stream with resident ducks, is the perfect breathing space. Once out of the village, a minor road continues straight ahead where the B road swings left to Kingham. This road winds through the tiny hamlet of Bould before climbing the hill to Idbury; don’t worry, that’s the only two real climbs out of the way already! Turn right by the bus shelter, through Westcote and briefly turn right onto the A424 before the next left towards the Barringtons, followed by a tiny right turn just before a group of buildings, signposted to Wyck Rissington. Revenge time: this is a sharp and satisfying downhill all the way into the village – and this village is surely one of the undiscovered gems of the Cotswolds! It’s got everything: a vast rough village green, a stumpy towered church, iris-filled pond and burnished cottages set back from the green ................... and complete peace!

Question: What is it that makes the Cotswold It’s not spectacular… it’s not unique…but its combination

ust the whirr

J

Turn left, then right across the A429 into Lower Slaughter, the epitome of picture postcard Cotswolds with its stream, low bridges and mill, the latter complete with water wheel, crypt-like shop and cafe where, on a fine day, refreshments can be had alongside the mill pond.

landscape so special? of gentleness and all-round appeal makes it unmissable

At the top of a short, steep climb, turn right and right again down an unmarked road (trust me!) which leads directly onto the A424. A further right turn towards Stow is soon followed by a left turning into the undisturbed village of Donnington. It wasn’t always so undisturbed; there’s a disused quarry where, apparently, a Spitfire crashed in the war, the pilot ejecting safely.

whirr of wheels…

A minor lane now runs beneath a thick canopy of trees. Glimpses of Stow’s church can be seen up to the right, and from overhead the haunting mewl of the buzzard may be heard. Into Lower Swell - there’s a spot of fiddly navigation with a right turn onto the B road, an almost immediate left turn and straight across, past a church porch hemmed with ivy, following signs to Upper Swell. Here turn left then immediately right down another tiny lane that passes the impossibly isolated Donnington Brewery. Other than the rush of the mill stream far below, the only sounds likely to be heard here are the distinctive clank of a metal beer cask and the apparently tuneless whistle of a worker.

So, there you have it: twenty miles of almost silent landscape, visiting villages that strive to balance the demands of tradition and affluence, every one displaying those havens of peace for which the Cotswolds are renowned. For the cyclist, perfection is on hand. The route, map, photography and article were cycled, mapped, clicked and written by BobForster

Broadwell - the perfect site for a picnic

Crossing the A429, the old Fosse Way, will take you into the quiet village of Broadwell. This is the perfect site for a picnic with its extensive village green with goalposts, benches and a very watchable ford to cross. From there the road slopes gently down towards the A436 where a left turn is followed by a right into Lower Oddington, the road passing that reputable watering hole, the Fox.

One former resident remembers one night when, as a child during the war, sitting in her upstairs window as the sky lit up in front of her, imagining that there was a firework display to see; it was much later that she heard that what she had witnessed was the distant bombing of Coventry

Stroud and District Citizens Advice Bureau, the charity that provides the Citizens Advice service in the Stroud and Cotswold Districts, will be showcasing its latest Big Lottery Project at its Annual General Meeting this year. Staff from Citizens Advice and partner organisations will be demonstrating how they are working together to help people at times of hardship crisis and to help them gain the support and skills they need to avoid getting into similar difficulties again in the future. The AGM will be held on Tuesday 13th September at 5.15pm at Watermoor Church of England Primary School, Kingshill Lane, Cirencester GL7 1HS where there is plenty of free parking. Sally Pickering, Chief Officer, said, “We want to make this a great networking event where people can find out more about services available to people in hardship crisis, so that we can work more effectively together to help them. Everyone is welcome to attend: refreshments will be available from 5pm and there will be plenty of time to network and find out more over tea and cake after the formal part of the meeting. “ The agenda for the AGM - which includes proposals to change the name of the organisation and its governing documents in line with recent branding changes - and other papers, are online at www.citizensadvice-stroudandcotswold.org.uk/stroud-cab-news.php or by phoning 01453 758252 Ext311.

We want your views on proposed changes to Council Tax supportCotswold District Council is consulting with residents about amendments to its Council Tax Reduction Scheme which, if agreed, would come into effect from April 2017. The Scheme supports working age people on low incomes by reducing their council tax payments. The proposed changes would bring the Scheme in line with Universal Credit and Housing Benefit whilst ensuring it remains fair for everyone and encourages unemployed people to seek work.The maximum amount of Council Tax discount in Cotswold is 91.5% and this will not change.Cllr Lynden Stowe, Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Revenues and Benefits, said: “Our proposed changes will make the scheme easier for claimants to understand as the principles will be similar to housing benefit and universal credit. I can assure residents that the level of support given by the Council to those on low incomes and in the greatest need will remain the same.”Changes proposed include:• limiting the number of dependent children within the calculation to a

maximum of two• reducing the period a person can be absent from Great Britain and still

receive a reduction to four weeks• reducing backdating for new claims from six months to one month.The consultation is open to everyone and details can be found at www.cotswold.gov.uk/news/august-2016/council-tax-reduction-scheme/ The consultation deadline is 28 October 2016. Councillors will consider a report in January 2017.

Cirencester’s new Jobcentre officeThe new Jobcentre is based in two of the ground floor wings of CDC’s Trinity Road offices. All the staff who worked at the old Cirencester Jobcentre in Southway have re-located to Trinity Road and will continue to deliver the same range of services.

CDC Deputy Leader, Cllr Nick Parsons: “The co-location of the Jobcentre and the Council is already yielding significant benefits, enabling both organisations to provide a more joined up face-to-face service for customers. The move is also saving on overheads and reducing costs to the taxpayers, making good use of what was excess accommodation at Trinity Road.“

Nick Browning, District Manager for DWP said: “We want to welcome employers, claimant customers and other partners to help develop a useful community resource. Jobcentres are all about helping people towards independence and work, and our relocation to the CDC offices in Cirencester presents us with an exciting opportunity to offer a better service for all claimants, including the future delivery of Universal Credit.”

UNOFFICIAL NOTES from the Council Meeting held on Monday, 8 August 2016 at 7pm

drawn from the Full Minutes of the meeting available online at www.moretoninmarshtowncouncil.co.uk

Attending: Chairman + 7 Cllrs, Clerk, both D Cllrs.

Public Participation:1) Condolences were expressed following the death of Cllr

Barry Dare

2) It was noted that the Redesdale Hall clock was not working again – engineers due to visit 9.8.16

3) A request was received for a dog bin along footpath by Hospital Road allotments.

4) Frustration was expressed at the delay in repairing the Curfew Tower – this property is owned by Batsford Estate and the delay is down to Natural England.

5) Moreton Park: Cala Homes have responded to letters sent by Cllr Moor and the Town Council and a meeting is to be arranged (8 September). This will include representatives from the Flood Resilience Working Gp, MTC and GCC. Cllrs expressed concern about coertion on the part of the developers re the worrying state of the roads, pavement and cycle paths. Cllrs felt there was insufficient information in the public arena for residents to feel that any progress was being made re the developers responsibilities and the S106 agreements with CDC.

6) Proposal to spend S106 money. Cllrs agreed that it would be helpful if residents had a better overall picture of the proposals. A meeting with the Fields in Trust has been requested to agree a location of a multi-use games area. (Clerk will ask Co.Cllr NM if he can assist.)

7) A complaint was made that CDC, GCC (and consequently MTC) did not have a street map of Moreton Park.

REPORTSPolice: With no Police present, a report was read. Cllrs noted that the police have not attended a meeting since January and criticised “the dismissive attitude of the desk sergeant in Stow to non-emergency information”. Cllrs are concerned that the Police are unaware of what is happening and problems within the town (such as a recent increase in burglaries and drug offences). Cllrs recommend members of the public to always ring 101 to report incidents as the number of calls does count.

District Cllrs:

Alison Coggins attended the Spitfire Working Group. The developer is wishing to put 150 plus houses on the site – it is expected that Spitfire will build 600 houses (in small parcels in order to reduce planning conditions and CIL). In the Local Plan Moreton needs to provide only 119 houses between now and 2031. Flood mitigation is also an important issue – which Spitfire appear reluctant to address. A planning application has yet to be submitted.

Robert Dutton advised Cllrs that Cllr.Coggins and he had both voted against the Emerging Local Plan. Moreton Park: He feels that there is a need for CDC to review planning and apply pressure on Cala to fulfil their responsibilities. (Currently the roads are un-adopted and have been left unfinished.)

Community Speed Watch: There is an ongoing lack of volunteers to carry this forward. NB: Police training is available for residents. Please contact the clerk if you could help.

British Legion building – a Community Asset? Currently there is no progress with enquiries about purchasing the site from the RBL and CDC have refused MTC’s application to register the building as a Community Asset - essentially because it has been empty too long to qualify for Community Asset status. MTC voted to apply again, asking for (and receiving) support from both C.Cllrs.

Town Logo. Cllrs agreed to approve the design (from a painting of the Redesdale Hall) for the entrance gates to the town and the Council’s stationery.

Fire Service – Retirement of two Retained Firefighters MTC agreed to acknowledge the service given to the town by Station Commander Allen Wallace (40 years) and Nick Trueman.

COMMITTEE REPORTSa) Sports, Events and Youth Services: Youth Club resumes in

September.b) Estate Management: As detailed in minutes.

A ramp into QVG has been costed, Cllr. Moor to be consulted regarding the possibility of a footpath along Batsford Road. Money has been approved to maintain the Horsepool. Flood Alleviation: A £50k grant has been received which means the project has a viable reserve.

North Cotswold Hospital in Moreton in Marsh is looking for volunteers to help in the hospital gardens, with basic tasks such as weeding paths and flowerbeds, tidying up, watering pots and basic garden maintenance. Volunteers could work as part of a group with other volunteers or individually depending on their preference. We would envisage volunteers working for a couple of hours per week.

This role would suit anybody who enjoys spending time outside and would like to make a valuable contribution to their local hospital. It would also be a good opportunity to meet other volunteers. No qualifications, skills or experience are needed but volunteers should be enthusiastic about practical outdoor work.

Volunteers will be required to wear suitable outdoor clothing and stout shoes and name badges at all times. Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust pay volunteer travel expenses to cover public transport or mileage costs.

District Council appoints Heritage and Design champion

In his new role, Cllr MacKenzie-Charrington will take a lead in supporting the Council’s ongoing efforts to conserve and enhance the natural, built and historic environment in the Cotswolds, whilst supporting economic growth. He will also provide support for sustainable tourism with the aim of attracting higher numbers of longer stay visitors.

Cllr MacKenzie-Charrington, who is responsible for Heritage and Design within the remit of his Planning Services Cabinet portfolio, is enthusiastic about his new role:

“I am looking forward to this challenge very much, and my aim is to inspire, advocate, influence and communicate all Heritage and Design issues relevant to the Cotswolds. What this means is that I will be augmenting the work done by my Cabinet colleagues and the Chair of the Planning Committee to protect and improve the natural and historic assets which define this District.

“In recent months there have been a number of important new initiatives related to this area of the Council’s work, for example: the new Historic Environment Strategy for the District has just been approved; a new Cotswold Design Code has been developed as part of the Local Plan; the Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership has become more established and has worked with the Gloucestershire Local Enterprise Partnership to secure European funds for the natural environment; and work is progressing on the Council’s new Open Spaces, Play and Green Infrastructure Strategy

ResponsibilitiesThe new champion role will include the following specific responsibilities:

• To generate enthusiasm for and awareness of the importance of the natural and historic environment of the District and high quality design

• To act as a voice and public figure for the Council on Heritage and Design issues, including chairing public meetings when appropriate

• To ensure that Cabinet Members and senior Officers are aware of Heritage and Design issues and the opportunities as they relate to their services

• To ensure that Heritage and Design issues are taken into account in the preparation of all relevant corporate strategies and initiatives, for example tourism strategies, economic strategies, and development briefs.

• To ensure that Heritage and Design issues are considered in all relevant partnership working for example with other local authorities, the Gloucestershire Local Enterprise Partnership or in neighbourhood plans

• To ensure the provision of Heritage and Design expertise is adequately resourced, and that the quality of service delivery is maintained

• To work with Officers in the Planning and Strategic Housing service to ensure that new development responds creatively and sympathetically to its historic and natural environment through high quality design

• To share examples of Heritage and Design good practice within the authority and more widely

• To ensure the implementation of the Council’s Historic Environment Strategy (approved by Cabinet 2016) across all services

• To help to progress the approval and implementation of the new environment and design policies and the new design code, which are included in the draft local plan

As this is a new role, it will be reviewed by the Council at the end of its first year to monitor its effectiveness.

NotesThe Council’s Heritage and Design Service provides professional advice on all aspects of the Council’s work that relate to the historic environment, landscape, biodiversity, trees and urban design., including via the development management process, planning policy, partnership initiatives and through the management of the Council’s own land. The Service sits within the Planning and Strategic Housing Service, and the main relevant Cabinet Member is Cllr Mackenzie-Charrington, Cabinet Member for Planning Services; however other areas of the Service’s work relates to other Cabinet Members, for example the Cabinet Member for Forward Planning, Cllr Nick Parsons.

Cllr Mark MacKenzie-Charrington will take a lead in supporting the Council’s ongoing efforts to conserve and enhance the natural, built and historic environ-ment in the Cotswolds, whilst supporting economic growth.

“I am looking forward to this challenge very much, and my aim is to inspire, advocate, influence

and communicate all Heritage and Design issues relevant to the Cotswolds”

Cotswold District Council has appointed Councillor Mark MacKenzie-Charrington as its Heritage and Design champion.

National Rural Crime NetworkThe largest ever survey of crime in rural areas reveals an unprecedented £800m crime bill

A national survey The National Rural Crime Network national survey of over 17,000 people living and working in rural areas throughout England and Wales suggests the true cost of crime in rural areas could exceed £800m. This figure is 21 times higher than previous figures, dwarfing earlier estimates.The survey also indicates that hard-pressed young families and farmers are the most frequent victims of crime, with the average cost of those crimes to a household being over £2,500 and for a business over £4,000.Moreover, there appears to be a vicious circle of low expectations, leading to chronic under-reporting, anger, frustration and worry. The result is increasing fear of crime and significantly lower satisfaction levels in the police than the national average.As a consequence of these findings, we are making seven recommendations including fair funding for rural areas; more joined up working with partners and communities, building on rural resilience; embedding best practice; developing new policies and ways of working; and ensuring a more targeted approach within rural communities.

The key survey results were:• Financial impact of crime on

rural economy is significant – the cost of crime to rural communities is estimated to be £800 million, equivalent to £200 for every household in the countryside. The average cost to rural households

who are victims of crime is £2,500 and £4,100 for rural businesses.

• Fear of crime is increasing – 39% of rural people are very or fairly worried about becoming a victim of crime, compared to 19% nationally. Even more worryingly, 32% of respondents are more fearful of becoming victims of crime than five years ago, compared to only 3% who are less fearful. Rural businesses are the most fearful of becoming victims of crime, with 51% very or fairly fearful, closely followed by younger families.

• Low satisfaction rates of police performance in rural areas – just 39% of rural people rate the police as good (32.4%) or excellent (6.3%). Among rural businesses this figure was just 32%. Those figures compare to 63% nationally who think the police is doing a good job (53% Good and 10% Excellent), showing rural communities have a significantly lower satisfaction rate than their urban counterparts. The survey showed satisfaction levels drop to just 23% when it comes to the rural public’s perceptions of the police’s ability to solve crime.

• Crime is under reported in rural areas – more than one in four (27%) did not report the last crime of which they were a victim. This means Home Office figures of 294,000 rural crimes between April 2014 and May 2015 could be incorrect and the actual number of crimes could be as high as 403,000.

• Rural communities are resilient – community spirit is clear to see in our rural communities. The vast majority feel they very or fairly strongly belong in their community, with 27% feeling that sense of belonging has increased in the last five years. 25% of people also felt that their community pulled together to improve their neighbourhood

• Lessons for Local Authorities and other partners – two issues of greatest concern to the rural community were road safety (63%) – which the police play a crucial part in, but which they cannot resolve without working with partners – and fly-tipping, which is now a civil offence (61%).

The full report can be downloaded from www.nationalruralcrimenetwork.netNational Rural Crime Network’s report and recommendations ‘The true cost of crime in rural areas’

Julia Mulligan, chair of the NRCN and Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, said: “Our report comes at a critical time when the structure and funding for policing are being fundamentally reassessed. Some of the findings in this report make uncomfortable reading but it is vitally important for the reality of rural crime to be fully acknowledged and acted upon. Its actual scale is clearly much greater than we had previously known; £800m is a big number. The low satisfaction rates also need to be a wake up call for police forces in rural areas and everything should be done to harness the opportunities presented. Good, accessible local policing is central to this and I believe police forces which significantly shrink their local teams in rural areas do so at their peril.”

Your opportunity to get involved:The Rural Policing Matters Campaign

National Rural Crime Network launch the ‘rural policing matters’ campaign On behalf of rural people, the Network is urging the government to reconsider the proposed changes to how police forces are funded, and is encouraging members of the public to respond to a consultation being held by the Government. The proposed new formula does not take into account the unit-cost of policing a rural area, and nor does it reflect the majority of work the police do which is not in fact crime-related – such as road safety or responding to welfare issues.

New Cotswolds Visitor Guide pushes the boundariesTourist attractions, restaurants and accommodation providers are being urged to sign up for a place in a new guide to the Cotswolds.

Endorsed by Visit England, the Cotswolds Visitor Guide 2017 will be the official destination guide for the area and will be widely promoted in the UK and worldwide.

The new publication produced by the Cotswolds Tourism Partnership incorporates the existing Visit Cotswolds and Oxfordshire Cotswolds guides promising bigger and more comprehensive coverage of the region.

It will be backed by an advertising and marketing strategy which will include national distribution to Visitor Information Centres, exhibitions and trade shows, targeted websites and a social media campaign.

Colin Shone, director of Cogges Manor Farm museum in Witney, Oxfordshire has advertised regularly in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds Guide and will be signing up for the new publication this year.

He said: “I like it because it brings people to Cogges and we have confidence in the product. It is really well designed and showcases the amazing places to visit in the Cotswolds.

“At the same time we don’t want to be restricted to Oxfordshire – there is no reason why people from further afield shouldn’t come to Cogges. The merging of the

guides extends our reach and bringing the Cotswolds together under one roof makes sense.”

Cllr Jeanette Baker, Cabinet Member for Visitor Information Centres at West Oxfordshire District Council, said: “Cotswolds Tourism is an iconic destination brand and our aim is to attract a wide range of visitors, both domestic and international.

“We want to challenge current perceptions about the Cotswolds while retaining the many visitors who enjoy the countryside. This new guide encompasses everything that is good about the region as well as providing an excellent marketing opportunity for the businesses included in it.”

The Cotswolds Visitors Guide 2017 will be launched in December 2016. Businesses and destinations wanting to be included should contact Cotswolds Tourism on 01285 623000 or email [email protected] before the final deadline of 31 August.

Cotswolds Tourism is the official Destination Management Organisation promoting and marketing tourism across the Cotswolds.

The Cotswolds Tourism Partnership is a partnership of tourism businesses, supported by local authorities of Cheltenham Borough Council, Cotswold District Council, Stroud District Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council, West Oxfordshire District Council and the Cotswolds Conservation Board.

Gulf States Tourism delegation loved the CotswoldsVisitors from all parts of the world are heading to the Cotswolds in record numbers, and this trend looks certain to gather pace following a recent visit to the area by a seven-strong delegation from the Gulf States.The delegation – comprising TV representatives and social media influencers from Saudi Arabia and Dubai – sampled a handful of the many tourist attractions on offer in the Cotswolds on 5 and 6 August, and were extremely

impressed by what was on offer.The visit began with a trip to the renowned Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens in Burford, marvelling at the exotic animals and plants, including close-up encounters with lemurs and giant tortoises. The group moved on to a special BBC Countryfile event set in the magnificent grounds of historic Blenheim Palace, focusing on the ‘Best of British farming’ displays showcasing the rare-breed animals and fun activities from Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park. With delicious cuisine and a relaxing overnight stay at the Cotswold Water Park Four Pillars Hotel, they concluded their activities on 6 August with a thrilling off-road driving experience around one of the Water Park lakes courtesy of the Down Ampney-based Gloucestershire Rally School.

A429 accidents and incidents Dear Editor, The A429 through Moreton-in-Marsh is an old Roman Road that is now well overdue some serious upgrading. Unfortunately dreadful accidents like those which happened on 10th August adjacent to the Inn on the Marsh and which required road closures, the air ambulance to attend and much stress for families and residents in the local area will continue to occur until we can get heavy goods vehicles and long distance traffic out of Moreton town centre. Only yesterday (Friday 12th August) the traffic travelling north along the A429 into town could yet again be seen tailed back well beyond the Fosseway Garden Centre and to the entrance to Lower Rye Farm. Similarly, traffic is often queuing from the Dorn road junction north of the town on the A429. How can this be acceptable!? This is doing our lovely north Cotswold town, its community and tourist trade no good at all. I am a resident of a neighbouring parish to Moreton and work for a local company, and our business is regularly affected by traffic delays in Moreton-in-Marsh (and Stow-on-the-Wold). I feel the local councils and Gloucestershire county council now need to wake up and seriously look at A429/A44 relief road options for the town. Kind Regards, Richard Green

Saturday 3rd September 3 will mark 50 years since the Hereford Cattle Society moved its National Poll Hereford Show to the north Cotswolds. It will also be 60 years since the competition was first held at the Moreton Showground, to find the best Poll Hereford – that is Hereford Cattle without horns. David Deakin of the Hereford Cattle Society said: "Moreton Show is in a great location, as it very central, attracting breeders from across the country, even as far away as Scotland. It’s also good for the Hereford Breed to be associated with one of the UK’s top one day shows which also happens to be set in beautiful countryside." This is not the only anniversary being celebrated this year at Moreton Show. The Cotswold Sheep Society is issuing a special rosette to mark its 125th year, making it the oldest sheep society in the world.

Nature has many subtle ways of revealing itself, and whether we may marvel atthe sight of a colourful rainbow or tremble at the power of a thunderstorm, naturesinfinite display of wonders never fails to impress. One of the most impressivesights that everyone can enjoy are the regular displays of meteors and meteorshowers, and August of each year provides a cosmic firework display appearing toemanate from the constellation of Perseus, subsequently known as the Perseids.

On any dark moonless night and keeping well away from from artificial light, timespent outside looking up at the night sky will nearly always be rewarded by thesudden flash of an object, almost certainly caught at the edge of your vision – andgone in an instant. This is a shooting star or meteor, a tiny particle of cosmic dustor debris slamming into the very outer layers of the Earth's atmosphere attremendous speed, immediately vaporising. The space surrounding the Earth is farfrom empty as this ancient debris, left overs from the formation of the solar systembillions of years ago and trapped by the gravitational grip of the all powerful,eventually encounters the Earth, sweeping along at an incredible speed of 70,000miles mph in its year long solar orbit – to illustrate, by the time you have read thisarticle without moving a muscle you will have travelled a good 30 miles. Atcertain times of the year the amount of visible meteors increases quitedramatically giving rise to media announcements of pending meteor showers, thecause of which is yet another of natures wonders.

Quite regularly our solar system plays host to visiting objects coming in from thedepths of space that have been pulled in by the gravitational attraction of the Sun.These are very fragile objects made up of very ancient rock and ice, we knowthem as comets. As they approach the Sun, warming processes cause the comet tovent off gas and particles leaving a very tenuous trail of debris millions of mileslong in its wake, lingering long after the comet has departed the solar system – itis when the Earth encounters these cosmic trails in our yearly orbit around the Sunthat give rise to superb meteor showers – for the Perseid meteor shower the parentcomet is called Swift-Tuttle, first observed in 1862 and named after its discoverers,locked in its orbit, it returns every 133 years.

Nature has many subtle ways of revealing itself, and whether we may marvel atthe sight of a colourful rainbow or tremble at the power of a thunderstorm, naturesinfinite display of wonders never fails to impress. One of the most impressivesights that everyone can enjoy are the regular displays of meteors and meteorshowers, and August of each year provides a cosmic firework display appearing toemanate from the constellation of Perseus, subsequently known as the Perseids.

On any dark moonless night and keeping well away from from artificial light, timespent outside looking up at the night sky will nearly always be rewarded by thesudden flash of an object, almost certainly caught at the edge of your vision – andgone in an instant. This is a shooting star or meteor, a tiny particle of cosmic dustor debris slamming into the very outer layers of the Earth's atmosphere attremendous speed, immediately vaporising. The space surrounding the Earth is farfrom empty as this ancient debris, left overs from the formation of the solar systembillions of years ago and trapped by the gravitational grip of the all powerful,eventually encounters the Earth, sweeping along at an incredible speed of 70,000miles mph in its year long solar orbit – to illustrate, by the time you have read thisarticle without moving a muscle you will have travelled a good 30 miles. Atcertain times of the year the amount of visible meteors increases quitedramatically giving rise to media announcements of pending meteor showers, thecause of which is yet another of natures wonders.

Quite regularly our solar system plays host to visiting objects coming in from thedepths of space that have been pulled in by the gravitational attraction of the Sun.These are very fragile objects made up of very ancient rock and ice, we knowthem as comets. As they approach the Sun, warming processes cause the comet tovent off gas and particles leaving a very tenuous trail of debris millions of mileslong in its wake, lingering long after the comet has departed the solar system – itis when the Earth encounters these cosmic trails in our yearly orbit around the Sunthat give rise to superb meteor showers – for the Perseid meteor shower the parentcomet is called Swift-Tuttle, first observed in 1862 and named after its discoverers,locked in its orbit, it returns every 133 years.

Perseus meteors light up the night sky

On the night of 13th of August the forecast was to be for thick cloud for mostof the evening, possibly clearing after midnight. Members of the ChippingNorton Amateur Astronomy Group (CNAAG) met at midnight at their officialfield observatory, the ancient Rollright Stones situated about three miles north of Chipping Norton. The site, now recognised as an official Dark SkyDiscovery site, provides the most superb night views for astronomy and, givena clear sky is particularly good for meteor spotting. As midnight passed andwith the cloud threatening to thwart any sight of shooting stars, gaps began toappear, big enough to see that there was some meteor activity happening.Within an hour the clouds had dissipated and CNAAG observers were treatedto a cosmic spectacle, at one point an estimated 20 meteors per minute, whichlasted until the sky began to lighten in the east – a truly memorableastronomical event.

There are several notable meteor showers coming up duringthe year and the next ones to watch out for will be theDraconids around 7th October, the Orionids 20-21st October,the Leonids 16-17th November and the Geminids 13-14thDecember and whether you choose to observe from your back garden or plan to be out and about with fellow meteorspotters – I strongly recommend the Rollright Stones – naturewill reward you with one of the most memorable andimpressive sights the universe can offer, free of charge and no specialised equipment required.

SEPTEMBER 2016OUR FUTURE

After a period of uncertainty, we are pleased to announce that we will be continuing to trade from our well-known premises in Church Street, offering the same high standard of service and exceptional range of books. We are looking forward to a bumper Christmas – there will be plenty of exciting books and we already have a stunning new Advent calendar!

EVENTOn Saturday 24th September, local author Miles Macnair will be talking about and signing his new book Lady Lucy Houston DBE: Aviation Pioneer and Mother of the Spitfire in St Edward’s Church, Stow, between 12 noon and 1.00pm. All welcome.

OUR HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH

FICTIONIn addition to a new thriller from Robert Harris and the return of Rupert Campbell-Black from Jilly Cooper (see pictures above), there are novels from Ian McEwan, Wilbur Smith, Prue Leith, Felix Francis and Sophie Hannah (another Hercule Poirot mystery) and new ghost stories from Susan Hill.

NON-FICTIONSian Evans portrays six brilliant society hostesses between the wars and John le Carre recounts stories from his life in his first memoir (see pictures above). In The Tunnel Through Time, Gillian Tindall disinters the people and places across time that have occupied the route of the new Elizabeth Line in London. Ben Macintyre gives us the first-ever authorised history of the SAS in Rogue Heroes. There are memoirs from equine journalist Michael Clayton and the leading vet Jeffrey Brain.

It’s a big month for food and drink titles. New cookery books are due from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (River Cottage A to Z), Diana Henry, Rick Stein and the Hairy Bikers. There are new editions of the Good Food and Good Pub Guides as well as Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book. There is also Hugh Johnson on Wine: Good Bits from 55 Years of Scribbling.

On a lighter note, there is a collection of animal letters to The Telegraph, Telling Tails: From Hopeless Hounds to Tyrannical Tortoises.

CHILDREN’S

A previously unpublished Beatrix Potter tale, a second Zog picturebook from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, and Clare Balding’s first children’s book are not the only excitements this month. There’s a new Ottoline story from Chris Riddell, a first novel from Nick Sharratt called The Cat and the King, and an adventure story from Peter Bunzl, Cogheart.

Make a difference in

your community Citizens Advice in the Cotswolds is calling for new volunteer recruits to join and make a difference in the local community. Chief Officer, Sally Pickering said: ‘Citizens Advice Cotswold District has a team of highly skilled and dedicated advisers who volunteer their time to help people resolve their problems. Our main enquiry areas are family, housing, money, welfare benefits and employment problems. “Volunteering can be a chance to use or develop your skills to help people resolve their problems. You don’t need specific qualifications or experience to train for the role. Our advisers enjoy helping people, are good listeners and are able to explain information.’ Pippa is a volunteer. ‘Twice today someone has telephoned me and said "I really don’t know what to do, can you help?". To be able to listen to that person and help them is what we do all day at Citizens Advice, and it’s what attracted me to become a volunteer. It’s hugely rewarding to know that you've been able to support someone in a confidential and non-judgmental way. “The training is excellent with a lot of support, mentoring and backup. It has been a big learning curve and the skills and knowledge I've gained have given me so much confidence.’ Callum is a recent law graduate who has been volunteering every summer with Citizens Advice whilst at University. Calllum said: “I find volunteering alongside the group of friendly and dedicated people at Citizens Advice a fantastic experience. It’s a chance to get involved with your local community, meet people from all walks of life, and develop transferrable skills that employers love. For instance, I spent nearly half of my scholarship interview at Lincoln’s Inn discussing my volunteering! It is an incredibly worthwhile way to develop yourself as a person and demonstrate your sensitivity and ability, as well as being a chance to show that you are able to handle confidential information and help people who are often in distress. “ Citizens Advice Cotswold District is looking for people who can spare 9-11 hours a week to join their adviser training course in mid-October. The training is very comprehensive and travel expenses are paid. If you would like more information about volunteering for Citizens Advice in the Cotswolds, please contact Sheila Orson on 01453 7582852 ext 214 or email [email protected]. If you need advice or want more information about the Citizens Advice Cotswold District you can check www.citizensadvice-stroudandcotswold.org.uk or ring the Freephone Helpline on 0808 800 0511.

NORTHLEACH & FOSSE LIONS CLUB Impromptu Concert prompts fast cake delivery – by a Lion

Five members of a Lake District touring choir enjoyed their mid-morning coffee and home-made cakes in Bourton-on-the-Water so much they bought the whole choir back to put on an open air performance just an hour later. Produced by the ladies of Northleach & Fosse Lions Club, the homemade cakes proved equally popular with other choir members and visitors listening to the 20 minute lunchtime performance. Local Lion Betty Duester sped home to make and deliver two more banana cakes for the all-day event at Victoria Hall on 26th July. Cheltenham based Kate’s Home Nursing, which cares for people in their own homes during the last stage of illness, will be the beneficiary of all profits from this second of three similar ‘Lions Famous Coffee, Tea & Cakes’ events being run this year. More than 100 people enjoyed the home baked produce and also took advantage of a bookstall. Members planned three further fundraising events in Bourton in August, including d the ‘Bridge of Coins’ in the village centre and their regular Car Boot Sale in the Countrywide Store car park. The final August fundraiser, always at the mercy of the weather, will be manning the playing field carpark at Cotswold School on Bank Holiday Sunday. Proceeds are split between the School and Lions Club community charities. All local residents of the North Cotswolds area are welcome to join club members for their regular monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of the month at the Ox House wine bar in Northleach. The next meeting will be on 13th September at 8.00pm.

Chipping Norton Lions Club The Lions would like to thank all those who took part in the Lions’ ‘Queen Quiz’. Congratulations go to Mr.David McGill from Hook Norton who sent in a 100% correct entry - Summer Hamper has been delivered.

CHIPPING NORTON ROYAL BRITISH LEGIONPRESENTATION OF MEMORIAL BOARDS TO LITTLE RISSINGTON CHURCH

In the immaculate churchyard of St Peter’s Church in Little Rissington are the graves of 49 servicemen who died in World War Two, mostly based at RAF Little Rissington. Many, including a 16 year old Air Cadet, died in the numerous training accidents that were commonplace in the area. On Sunday 31st July Branch chairman Steve Kingsford presented two memorial boards to the Church, telling the stories of those who lie there. Steve relates:

“We first visited Little Rissington in 2012 after an event commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the mid-air collision over Chipping Norton in 1942. Three of the casualties from the accident were buried here an we laid wreaths on their graves. We have returned every Armistice day after our services in the town and, along with members of 136 Squadron ATC, lay a wreath and crosses on the graves of the 12 airmen who died in crashes in Chipping Norton. As well as a moving act of Remembrance we find the beautiful and tranquil surroundings a cathartic end to a busy and emotional day. As I am frequently asked about the fates of the men who lie in the churchyard I started to research them, and put their stories on our Branch website. I thought it would be a good idea to give something to the church to show our gratitude and the idea of the memorial boards was given the thumbs up by the Branch, the project funded by donations from our members. The vicar of Little Rissington, Christopher Etherton and his Parochial Church Council were approached and kindly agreed to putting the boards in their church, and now hang either side of the magnificent RAF Memorial widow.”

The Memorial boards will be officially unveiled and dedicated at a church service to commemorate the Central Flying School at Little Rissington on Sunday 11th September at 1500

Further information about Little Rissington and flying accidents in the area can be found on the RBL website:

SundsAlive

Something made me think about Barry Manilow the other day. Not a something I would normally admit to, but I noticed that on the very same day we were marking our little Brexit voting slips, Barry’s “One Last Time” tour had been signing off at the O2 in London. I can’t say it was a surprise to hear that he was still treading the boards, because every artist apparently now feels the need to perform until he or she is at least 120 years old, but just for a moment I went a little dewy-eyed recalling one cold November night at Wembley Arena in 1980. I can’t say it was an ‘encounter’ with Barry, but we were in the same building. Back in 1980, Barry Manilow was a huge star, comfortably selling out five nights straight at Wembley and appearing on prime-time Saturday Parkinson. The only blight on his transatlantic takeover was a nose that resembled Concorde as it came in to land, its pointy proboscis in that funny downward tilt. And although it’s a little unfair to bring it up, Barry’s special feature was going to come in handy for Doreen and Angela in Row ZZ at Wembley, who had (before bus-sized video screens became the rage) brought their opera glasses with them.

I’d worked at Wembley for about a year stewarding concerts and I’d seen everyone from Abba to Fleetwood Mac, Rod The Mod to Springsteen, even Boney M, but Barry Manilow was a cabaret cut-above in my eyes: the blatant posturing, the pandering to coach-parties of swooning middle-aged women from Nantwich or Norwich but undeniably sporting a couple of pretty good songs. I was loitering backstage with a bacon sandwich when Bazza breezed past, pre-show, clucking female assistants applying powder to the proboscis and large men in black suits, equipped with walkie-talkies the size of household bricks, looking furtively right and left, as if expecting their charge to be the target of some unseen sniper hidden in the rafters. Didn’t half make me giggle, but I couldn’t help but be impressed when our man took the stage and you could feel the surge of female emotion break like waves on Barry’s beach. Gosh! I suspect Barry’s evening got better as mine got worse. He tore the place up, while I got re-assigned to the car park to man the back gate. Apparently, I missed the front three rows bottom-wiggling to ‘Copacabana’ in the longest conga-line Wembley has ever seen. Ah well…I was huddled round a brazier in a little wooden shed as the cheesy strains of ‘Can’t Smile Without You’ echoed round the empty loading bays. It was at moments like this when I nearly considered getting a proper job and I was still turning this one over when, encores polished off and wrapped in dressing-gowns, snug inside his blacked-out limo, Bazza glided past me and past the gaggle of excited ladies clustered around the wire fence, through the gates and out into the night. So, thirty-six years on and, one last time, it’s Manilow Magic. And I’m betting Doreen and Angela were there.

I’ve just been reading an article from a well-known politician who was arguing that everyone he had met was willing to pay a little extra in tax to cover the shortfall in the NHS budget.

He also argued that, in future, there might be a necessity to pay for treatment at the point of service therefore undermining the whole ethos of the NHS. I, like many others, realise that the NHS needs proper funding but to ask people to pay for the same service twice, if not three times, is asking a bit much. Surely it would be better to revert to a system where healthcare & pension contributions are easily identifiable through a separate tax – it’s called National Insurance! That’s what we pay National Insurance for and these contributions shouldn’t be thrown into the same pot as general tax. If companies & individuals were able to see the effect of making additional contributions I’m sure that most would be willing to contribute extra.

We’re already nearly half-way through the tax year and many people have still not thought about filing their Tax Returns. It’s so easy to put off what should be a simple task & then find, with Christmas coming up & all, that time has run out & not only is there tax to pay but also penalties for late filing. It doesn’t have to be that way, do it now.

Finally, not one to moan about the perilous state of the HMRC computer system, I’m amazed that most of the online filings over the past few years have got to the right department & have been correctly allocated to the right account. However, it does worry me that a small number of mistakes are creeping into the system where HMRC have issued a submission receipt only to write a year or two later to say that submissions haven’t been filed. When I’ve queried this the stock answer seems to be that the wrong letter was sent & therefore ignore it. The cost in time & money, both to my clients & to HMRC itself, in chasing up these fictitious mistakes is worry enough but it shows that attention to detail is not one of HMRC’s strongpoints therefore it makes sense to check every bit of paper you receive from them.

An UPDATE from the Care Quality CommissionResearched and written by Paul Jackson

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) recently published a change to their earlier report of their inspection in January of Beech Haven Care Home in Chipping Norton. Their website now records that the ‘Responsive’ rating has moved up to Good but the ‘Effective’ rating has gone down from Good to “Requires Improvement”.

This means that Beech Haven (with only 2 ‘Good’ ratings and the need to improve on 3 categories ‘Safe; ‘Responsiveness’ and ‘Well Led’) stays down the performance league at 10th out of 13 local care homes.

The main areas needing improvement seem to be “People’s risks such as risks of falls, mobility, malnutrition, moving and handling or skin damage were identified.” And on the ‘Good’ side, a positive comment was “Throughout the inspection there was a pleasant atmosphere and we saw people being supported in a professional, kind and caring manner.”

Jubilee Lodge in Bourton on the Water has not improved from its last inspection and still requires to improve in the ‘Responsiveness’ and ‘Effective’ categories. The main concern seems to be “the details of the lawful consent to receive care were not always evident when people could not make a decision about their care and support for themselves.” On the positive side, the report said: “Staff listened and acted on people’s concerns. People’s recreational and social needs were met. They enjoyed activities in the home as well as places of interest in the local area”.

Burma Star memorial cupBurma Star memorial cup goes to MoretonThe Burma Star Memorial Cup competition was played at Adderbury on Wednesday 27 July in honour of former servicemen who served in the Burma Campaign between 1941 and 1945.Eight clubs – Adderbury, Banbury Central, Banbury Borough, Bloxham, Woodford Halse, Middle Barton, Byfield and Moreton in Marsh – took part.Moreton in Marsh won a closely-fought tournament and received the trophy from Mrs Orchard (see picture below). Adderbury came second.In addition to the trophy, as the winning club we received £174 – money raised from entry fees, a raffle and a whisky draw – the money to be given to a charity of our choice. It was decided that the money should go to Help for Heroes.The cup was originally bought by the Burma Star Bowls Club and for many years was played for by Banbury area bowls clubs. The competition was last held in 2012 and since then the cup has been in the safe keeping of Banbury Burma veteran Alan Orchard – himself a keen bowler who played for Banbury Central, Banbury Chestnuts and Burma Star. Alan died last year and it was his wish that the tournament should be revived. His widow Sheelagh asked Adderbury to run the competition.

The Lido’s season set to end on a highThanks to some extended periods of clement weather, and even short bursts of real heatwave, The Lido has been enjoying buoyant numbers so far this season, both during public sessions and private hires. The children’s swimming lessons have been a real success, again with good numbers and reports of fantastic progress from our young swimmers, as have our regular activities. Synchro for All on Mondays 7.30-8.30pm and Junior Water Polo 7.00-8.00pm on Sundays are also popular with a wide range of participants and it’s never too late to start (although it might be next season now!)

Two fabulous late swims have been really popular and successful fundraisers, especially the second thanks to live music from our friends, FiddleBop. So we’re pleased to announce a third Sunset Swim on 3 September, from 7.00pm.

Last but by no means least, we are looking forward to our now regular season closer, The Dog Swim! From 7.00pm on Sunday 11 September all well-behaved dogs are welcome for just £7.50 each. Tickets must be booked in advance and one (free) human swimmer must accompany each dog in the water, other human members of the dog’s “pack” get free entry to spectate. There will be a donation bar,

BBQ and Bonios, so what are you waiting for? Book now!

Further details about all the above are available on our website, www.chippylido.co.uk, or from The Lido itself. Keep up with the latest at facebook/ChippyLido and Twitter @ChippyLido, or contact The Lido directly for more details of how to join the Lottery, the Committee, Friends or to donate: [email protected]

Spotlight On Louis Dean-Brown Team U13s Position No. 8 Favourite Player Ben Morgan of Gloucester & England I enjoy Rugby because It’s fun ! My Rugby ambition is To play for Gloucester

Each Month the Spotlight is focused on a member

from the club

Pre-Season Starting Well

Beware - Hungry Hippos ! Leigh Takes The Chair The club were very pleased to vote Leigh Glazebrook (right) in as their new Chair-man at the end of last season’s AGM. Leigh knows the club inside out having started as a player in the Minis & Juniors section and worked his way up through to the front row frunace of the 1st XV. He was also a consistent member of the Invincibles team of the 2012-13 season that won all 20 league matches, writing themselves into the club’s history. Leigh will be looking to build on retiring chairman David Oughton’s good work as well as developing the club’s great potential as a venue for the community.

Girls - Inspired By Rio 7s ?

The club’s curtain raiser to the new season is the Open Day on Sunday the 4th of September and it promises to be a lot of fun. As well as an inflatable Cargo Run Obstacle course and Bouncy Castle there will be a giant game of Hungry Hippos. Added to these will be a Parachute Run, Face Painting and the chance to test your rugby skills and its all for free. All are welcome to come along, have some fun and see what a great family friendly club Stow RFC is. If you are new to the club its also a great opportunity to meet the coaches from the different age groups and ask any questions you may have. All are welcome whether they are interested in rugby or just want to enjoy a fun morning out. Its at the club, on the Oddington Road, from 10am with a 12pm finish. We look forward to seeing you.

The 1st XV (below) got their pre-season off to a winning start with an away friendly match against Shipston on Stour under the flood-lights, in the middle of August. It was a great win and we hope bodes well for the upcoming season for both the 1sts and 2nd XV.

2nd World Cup & Rio Gold Congratulations to Ollie Thorley in joining Elliott Stooke to become the 2nd Stow player to win the Under 20s World Cup with England. The team won all their matches culminating in a 44-21 victory over Ireland in the final. A former Stow Minis & Juniors player, Matt Gotrel also celebrated Olympic Gold in Rio as part of the Men’s Rowing Eight. Matt, from Chipping Campden, has had 4 years of hard training but it was worth it for the prize at the end. Well done to all our alumini for their fantastic achievements. We’re proud !

Have you enjoyed watching the GBR Ladies 7s team at the Rio Olympics and fancy giving it a go ? If the answer is yes, then Stow RFC can give you the platform to try the game out and hone your skills. The club are working closely with The Cotswold School and The RFU to provide girls with the opportunity to play rugby. We started last year and although we have a dedicated group of players, we need a lot more. Come along to the Open Day and ask for Sean C. or get in touch via the website. You’ll have a lot of fun !

Thanks to the support of a number of businesses in Stow, there is now a Defibrillator at the club. This will not only be useful to the players but also the hundreds of caravaners and campers who use the club in the off season not to mention the ramblers and those who hire the club as a venue. So, Thankyou Stow-o-t-Wold.

Thank You Stow Business!

MORETON RANGERS FCContact: moretonrangersfc.com

Well we have hardly blinked and local football is back with us and let’s hope it inspires us more than the shower who embarrassed us at the Euro’s this summer (unless your roots are Welsh of course).

I came across a beer inspired by the legendary football manager Brian Clough this month and it is such a shame he is no longer with us to voice his opinion on the current game

For those coaches and other volunteers who make things happen for your local club we hope that they gain your support and admiration for the work they do. The Grassroots of the game is alive and well in the Moreton area.

Under 13sOur Under 13 Team are in need of some more players so if you are in School year 8 please contact the team coach Chris Burdock on 07920137478.

Pre- Season FriendliesMoreton Rangers 4 Hook Norton 0

MRFC hosted a strong Hook Norton team in their first pre-season game of the season. Hooky dominated possession in the first half but didn’t create any clear cut chances, however, they were still disappointed to go into the break behind.

MRFC’s first goal came from centre back Joe Jarvis who struck a free kick under the wall and into the bottom corner.

The second half started with some good Moreton pressure down the left hand side from Hooky old boy Jamie Wyatt, who crossed for Martin Tomes to head home. Tomes had spent time away from London Road playing for Bishops Cleeve last season but MRFC hope to secure the services of this talented winger for the coming season.

Moreton added two more late on in the second half with a Callum Peters penalty after good work from Tomes. Late on Jamie Wyatt tapped in to round off a very good display from Rangers. Moreton gave debuts to K. Watts and G. Smith who came in from local rivals Chipping Norton, B. Bearcroft and J. Meredith from Badsey.

The team travelled to Barry Town at the end of July to play the Welsh League Team at their Jenner Park Stadium. This was a salutary

experience as the Semi-professional outfit gave our lads a football lesson winning 8 – 0.

We are looking for a keen coach willing to manage our Reserve Team who were promoted to the First Division

of the Witney League last season. Contact Director of Football Gary Barnett on 07970717693
