Accompanying this month’s Newsletter you will receive a schedule, entry form and the recipe for the show – please have a look and enter a class or two – there are a variety of categories for both adults and children.  Try your luck! The Show is open to all residents of Aynho.

Tea and cakes will be served during the afternoon and there will be a raffle as usual. For those of you who enjoy the produce, this will be auctioned at the end of the afternoon.          

Any cakes and raffle prizes will be greatly appreciated.

So please support our Show and the Gardening Club Committee.

depending on the route taken and lasts between 1 hour 15minutes and 2 hours maximum. The longer walk is more strenuous and faster as well as being between 6 and 7 miles most weeks. If you have mobility issues and just need to get started there is the track which is used by many people throughout the whole week.

The walks are free and there are refreshments available to make it both a beneficial and sociable way to spend a morning.

WINTER LUNCH CLUB
It was great to be able to run Winter Lunch club over this past winter, good to see regulars again and to welcome some new faces.  After costs (hall hire and ingredients) the profit is being distributed as follows:  donations of £500 each to Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie, once costed a maxium of £500 will go towards purchasing some portable Car Park signs for direction to village events and the remaining balance of £650 to the ‘Help for Ukrainians in Aynho’ fund.  Thank you to all who supported WLC and made the above possible.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to my wonderful team of volunteers, Sheila, Ailsa, Glenwys and Shirie who helped front of house, WLC does not happen without such help!

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
Last month we had a lovely trip to the Turweston Flight Deck Café, which is situated in a very modern control tower overlooking a lake and some of the flight path. We did see some aeroplane activity, although the best time for that is naturally at weekends. On a note about its history; the airfield was used in WW2 as a bomber training school, but is now privately owned and used by light aircraft. Thanks to the better weather – a lot cooler than previously – we enjoyed a relaxing lunch whilst enjoying the view.
There will not be a meeting in August – holiday time – although for those not away we will still be holding our Coffee Mornings in the Cartwright. We will get together again in the Village Hall in September for a talk by Catherine Johnson.  More about that next time.   Meanwhile take care and enjoy the holidays.
The next WI coffee mornings are on the 3^rd and 10^th  August 10.30am  – 12 noon at the Cartwright
Hotel.
