Gardening Club Summer Show – 29 August
The Institute is booked; the admin is completed; the Parish Council have given a grant towards the costs so Adderbury Gardening Club’s Summer Show is good to go. The Schedules, for Adults and Juniors, are now in Adderbury Stores, the Library and on the Adderbury web page. For the adults the usual range of fruit and vegetables, plants, flowers, jams, breads, cakes etc. For the Juniors a few craft based classes, which might give them something to do in the summer holidays. Click here to see Rod Roberts notice. Click here to see early warning for exhibitors and click here to see the schedules.
There will be cream teas in St Mary’s Church between 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm. Do come along and enjoy this FOSMA afternoon.
The 32nd staging of the needle match between Adderbury and Milton will be at Banbury Cricket Club starting at 1.00 pm. Adderbury will be defending the Millennium Trophy inaugurated as part of the village celebrations in 1995. We really need a passionate team of Adderburians. We’ve got the backbone of a side but we need five or six more stalwarts up for a game and a few beers. If you fancy a game phone Nick Fennell on 811059 or email 
Several golf balls have recently landed in paddocks and gardens near The Leys. A golf ball struck from the nearby public footpath or rough ground can easily reach houses, horses, walkers and neighbouring property. So far nobody has been hurt, but it is only a matter of luck. If you enjoy practising your golf swing, please choose somewhere safe and appropriate. A polite request from local residents: please don’t use this area as an unofficial driving range.
You may be aware that the churchyard grass is mown and occasionally strimmed by a small team of dedicated volunteers. We could do with a couple more bodies to help us. If you are able to assist in looking after a patch then please contact Andrew Donaldson
