Sunday, January 24th 2010 at 2.30 pm. Presentation and short 2010 Annual General Meeting.

Approximately 35 people attended a web-site presentation, folder rummage and general history gossip followed by a brief AGM. New photographs were provided of the West family and more information volunteered on missing photograph titles. In the AGM, the existing committee was re-elected, nemine contradicente. Denise Roberts also kindly agreed to join the committee and was duly elected. Many thanks to our helpers for the delicious teas and cakes.

Friday, October 16th 2009 at 7:30 pm. Flora Thompson evening in the Alice Marshall Hall.

Forty people enjoyed an illustrated talk by local author Christine Bloxham in the village hall. Christine talked about the life and times of Flora Thompson and her book Lark Rise to Candleford. She also gave us a virtual tour of Flora's village, Juniper Hill, which is not far from Middle Barton, just south-east of Banbury. Her new book, The World of Flora Thompson Revisited was available and made a hit as 2009 Christmas presents. Thank you very much Christine.

A photograph of Christine signing books can be found here.

 Sunday, September 27th 2009 at 2.00 pm - North Street Village History  Walk.

The group had a successful walk led by Chris Edbury from the Alice Marshall hall to The Carpenters Arms. Notes from the walk can be found here.
