There is a recognised shortage of 10,000 Foster Carers in the UK. PACT (Parents And Children Together), founded in 1911, is also known as the Oxford Diocesan Council for Social Work inc. We are a registered charity working to improve life chances for children. The focus of our work is within Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and aims to build and strengthen families. We are an approved Adoption and Fostering Agency. We have a history of finding safe, loving families for children in care. Here are a few facts about Fostering: 1. Did you know you don’t have to be married to become a Foster Carer? 2. You don’t have to have children already although you do need to have experience of caring for children. 3. Did you know you get paid a Fostering Allowance of £335.70 a week to be a Foster Carer which is tax free and won’t affect any other benefits? 4. Most of the children who need fostering are known as ‘hard to place’ children, they will usually be 8+ years of age. Fostering is a hard but very rewarding job. If you think you might have what it takes to become a Permanent Foster Carer or you want to find out more then contact PACT now on 0800 731 1845 e-mail

PLANS have been submitted for a gipsy settlement near the A34 north of Oxford. The Romany Gypsy Advisory Group wants to create a site for eight mobile homes, eight touring caravans for nomadic use only and eight utility rooms for gypsy families on a piece of scrubland just off the A34 junction between Islip and Hampton Poyle. Cherwell district councillor Simon Holland said: “It will be controversial and if necessary I will call it in so it can be properly reviewed in planning, where all parties can make their pitch.” Hampton Gay and Poyle Parish Meeting chairman Dave Green said: “I want to know more about it. “I will not oppose it on anything other than genuine planning grounds.” “Obviously they have got to go somewhere.” Cherwell said consultation would be open until April 16 and the application could be decided in April or May. No-one from the Romany Gypsy Advisory Group was available for comment. source: Oxford Mail

FOOD waste recycling has been rolled out to villages surrounding Bicester. Kitchen caddies were delivered this week to homes in villages including Ardley, Upper and Lower Heyford and Weston-on-the-Green. Next week villages including Islip, Yarnton and Shipton-on-Cherwell will get the food waste bins. Also delivered was a free roll of compostable corn starch liners and an information pack including a fridge magnet. Homes in Bicester are due to get caddies from February 15, and Banbury from March 8. Cherwell estimates 12,000 tonnes of food waste goes to landfill each year. The new scheme aims to cut that by 4,000 tonnes in the coming year. Source : Oxford Mail

Living at Hillcrest on the Islip Road, we are experiencing what seems to be a significant increase in the volume of heavy goods vehicles coming through the village. I have been in contact with the highways agency with concerns about the fact that articulated lorries can use a village road which has speed humps on it and the danger of the bend at the end of the village by Manor Farm House. My concerns have apparently been noted with the reply that there is limited budget to erect the appropriate signs to discourage these vehicles. Our village is the victim, as is Kirtlington and Middleton Stoney, of satellite navigation on mainly foreign lorries making a cut through from the M40 & A34. Apart from the obvious safety issues in terms of pedestrians and the risk of collision we are experiencing bad vibrations to the road and surrounding verges which, in time, will undoubtedly cause ever lasting damage and erode the verges and walls in our community. One suggestion when I voiced the dangers with the Agency was that they could put traffic lights at the said danger bend! Maybe I missed something somewhere but how on earth does that restrict damage and increase safety. The other issue burning into me is that the road along this stretch through the village has been repaired twice in a twelve month period - surely at more of a cost than two road signs at either end of the initiating roads. I am aware of complaints to the same agency fom other village residents but feel it is time to really dig into these guys and get some results. We need to pull together as a community and stop the unnessary erosion of not only our verges and safety but or village peace and quiet. Anyone wishing to offer ideas and support is welcome to join me in instigating a formal campaign to stop our village being destroyed. Rob Johnson.

The game schedule is now published on the Fixture page on the New Website and I hope to add the results to this page as we progress through the season. The Eynsham & District season is due to start on Tuesday 27th October, we have basically the same six teams as last season with the ex Tandem now playing at Kennington Social Club, and the ex Nelson at the Cowley Workers Club. The Royal Oak are promoted to section one after their run away success of topping section two last season, and the Cowley Worker are now accommodated in section two. As I write this the fixture list is being prepared and soon will be circulated to your pubs and clubs, and as soon as I get notice of the fixtures I will publish them on the web Fixture page. Hoping that you all have an enjoyable season and remember, red on the spot and white on the D. This is the start of a new winter season 2009 - 2010 and also the start of a new web site dedicated to keeping you up to date with fixtures, results and general running of the Eynshan & District Bar Billiard Association. We have a new Secretary, Peter Soanes, who takes over the reigns from Dave Barnes who has kept the league going for more years now than I can remember. We all thank Dave for his endurance and tenacity and also wish Pete the best of luck in his new office. Headquarters: Bletchington Sports & Social Club http://eynshambarbilliards.webs.com/

Where is all the Village Pride? Or do we even have any pride in our Village?
This email was recived from a long time resident of the village, who wishes to remain anonymous. Is any body in the same mind as me? Every where you look, weed’s in road’s, path’s, over hanging hedges, so you have to walk in the road. Untidy gardens. Where has village pride gone? To pot, like the roads full of pot holes. Yours long time resident. Your comments are gratefully recieved.
