The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a free service. It is the official central opt out register on which you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. It is a legal requirement that all organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so. If you are receiving silent calls, this is where upon answering the phone there is nothing but silence, then registering with TPS may reduce these.It is worth reflecting on the fact that registering may well prevent you from receiving relevant and worthwhile information. For instance charities find telemarketing to be an economical way to raise awareness and much needed support. To register click here: Telephone Preference Service (TPS)

Government plans to hold local referendums on new housing schemes in England could tear village communities apart, rural campaigners have said. They say plans to require at least 90% of local people to approve new building schemes in villages would create conflict and bring projects to a halt. The Rural Coalition says that instead elected parish councils should be able to initiate community-led developments. The government says new developments should have overwhelming support. The Rural Coalition, which is made up of groups from the public, private and charity sectors, including the Local Government Association and the Campaign to Protect Rural England, calls this a "do-or-die moment" for villages. The problem it says is rural services face government cuts, village house prices are too high and wages are too low.source BBC

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

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

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

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/
