AYNHO CRICKET CLUB
After the success of the Jubilee cricket match against Souldern, we are delighted to announce that, starting in the 2023 season, the Aynho Cricket Club will be a registered club with the ECB for the first time since many decades.
We are excited to be hosting up to 5 senior games per season on the playing fields against other local clubs, and very proud to also be facilitating the running of the ECB All Stars programme for children aged 5-8 in the area.
The final details are in the process of being worked through, but we would welcome interest in the Club from adults (men or women) including parents whose children, initially ages 5-8 in the present school year, might be interested in the game.

BRIDGE CLUB
In January, we held our second meet up. It was very kindly hosted by the Cartwright, where we enjoyed use of the Apricot Room, finger food and a glass or two of wine. We now have enough members to hold a monthly bridge circle, and new joiners would be very welcome indeed. We have a wide range of ages and abilities, from complete beginners to experienced players, so please do get in touch. Kevin D’Silva |

Meryl Rimmer is kindly doing the ‘seed swap’ again this year – so do bring some cash for that.
It was very good to see so many of you, along with some new Members, at our January meeting when Tom Duncan gave a brilliant talk about the garden at Mount Stewart. Enormous thanks to him. For those of you who were unable to make the January meeting but would like to join the AGC, please come along with your £12 subscription – Linda and Johanna will add you to the Membership List and you will receive your membership card with the 2023 programme.

WELL BEING WALKS
All walks start from The Pavilion. Strollers are between 3 – 4 miles, with hills and stiles. Longer walks range between 5 – 7 miles – much more challenging and faster paced. The track is available for anyone with mobility issues or recovering from an operation or accident. Refreshments are available at the end of your walk.
Although walks are rarely cancelled the recent extreme high temperatures were considered to be too high for some to walk safely. Therefore, if a similar situation arises again please do contact a walk leader to check before making a wasted journey.

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
We had a very well attended January meeting, which included 4 visitors. It was an interesting and enlightening talk by Kate Angell an Aynho resident, on Mindfulness. Kate brought this to life and guided us through its meaning making us aware of the fact that it can help so many different people. Initially we all wondered why we were asked to bring a piece of fruit with us – now we know why! Our next meeting on the 14th February will be a talk, again by another Aynho local, Liz Hadley, who works for Oxford University at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care. She will be giving us a brief overview of the Covid clinical trials and how they work plus information on the current trial she herself manages. Covid isn’t going to go away so it will be interesting to learn how it is now being dealt with. This will be an open meeting which means anyone can attend. The entry fee for visitors is £3.
