SISTER TO SPEAK ABOUT BROTHER’S BENEFITS ORDEAL

• Mark Wood starved to death last year

THE sister of a Bampton man who starved to death last year after his benefits were cut is set to speak in Witney about her family’s ordeal this evening. Mark Wood died in his flat in August last year aged 44 after his benefits were cut to £40 a week. They were cut when he was assessed and declared fit for work by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) the previous March. And his sister Cathie Wood will speak at Austerity Kills, being held at Langdale Hall from 7.30pm in Witney tonight, about what happened to her brother. “It was very confusing what happened to him because Mark was someone who was very poorly, but was struggling on and trying to live an independent life,” said Cathie. “So I just felt incredibly upset for him that he died in such an awful way in a state of panic whilst desperately trying to hold on to his independence and thinking he could cope on the money that was left when he

Revamp works begin at the Corn Exchange WORK is now underway on refurbishing the Corn Exchange in Witney after building contractors were appointed to the project. Oxford-based contractors Knowles & Sons are now undertaking preparatory work to open up the front area of the Market Square venue for community events, owned by Witney Town Council. The toilets will also be moved upstairs to make room for a larger kitchen and storage area, and the existing stage and seating removed. Roger Curry, chairman of the public halls committee on the town council, hopes the revamp will reap rewards. He said: “It has been a long haul to get this far. “We can all look forward to a totally refurbished hall in the spring of next year that will be more versatile and able to host a wide range of community and arts events.” The news comes after the council’s application for £1.8million of Heritage Lottery funding for the Corn Exchange was turned down in July.

It was shut in 2011 due to it falling into a state of disrepair, and the town council has been working on refurbishing the venue since then. Councillors originally hoped that the refurbishment would be completed by the end of the year, but fi nancial delays means that a target opening date has been set for May 2015. Witney mayor Jeanette Baker said it was good news for the town. She added: “It is such a pleasure to be issuing this long awaited news to the community. “It has been a long road of disappointment and frustration, especially for past users of the Corn Exchange. “Our consultants and contractor understand that we want the best job done in the least amount of time.” The town council wants to place a time capsule in the Corn Exchange during building, and is asking for ideas to be submitted to info@witney-tc.gov.uk. • The Corn Exchange in Market Square is being refurbished and could re-open in May 2015

TVP horse Albert up for top animal award A THAMES Valley Police (TVP) horse that has fought off angry protestors at a political rally and worked to protect the royal family during his 10-year career has been named as a finalist for a national animal award. Albert, a 17-year-old horse from TVP’s mounted section, was nominated in the RSPCA and Daily Mirror’s Animal Hero Awards 2014. The winners were announced at an awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London last night as the Guardian went to press. It comes after Albert led an eight-horse team into the middle of angry protests between members of the English Defence League and anti-fascist demonstrators in Brighton in April 2012. The horses became surrounded and protestors tried to pull officers off their saddles, but Albert remained calm and used his body weight to push them away. “We all got surrounded,” said PC Kevin Simmons from the mounted section.

By Adam Flinn adam@taylornewspapers.co.uk

“People were grabbing us and bottles were bouncing off our helmets. “I am not one to be scared easily, but that was a scary day. “But through the good bond that we have with our horses and our trust, we both looked after each other. “All the horses, especially specially Albert, did a great job.”” Albert has also helped d to protect the royal family at events such as Royal Ascot, and also worked at football matches hes and the Olympics.

PC Simmons added: “He’s a really good horse. “We are all ecstatic that he has been named as a fi nalist, and it is a real honour to have one of the horses recognised for the work that they do for us.” He continued: “He is probably the next one to be retired, maybe in a year or two, but he will go to a good home when he does and spend the rest of his days in the field grazing.”

News Bites Shop assault GROVE: A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a shopkeeper in the Co-op in Savile Way on November 17.

The group remained outside the shop and the shopkeeper was punched a second time when he approached them. The teenager has been bailed until December 23.

Drivers face more traffic misery on A34 By Adam Flinn adam@taylornewspapers.co.uk

MORE severe delays are expected on roads in southern Oxfordshire in the coming months as road closures on the A34 and Steventon Bridge start. The Highways Agency are set to shut one carriageway of the A34 in each direction between the Milton and Chilton interchanges from Monday until May next year to do drainage work. A 50mph speed limit will be in force during that time with overnight lane closures also planned, details of which have yet to be announced. Highways Agency service delivery manager Guy Watts said: “This work will provide smoother and safer journeys for users of the A34 in this part of Oxfordshire. “While work of this nature inevitably causes some inconvenience, we will aim to prevent as much as disruption as possible.” It comes as Didcot and Wantage MP Ed Vaizey revealed on Tuesday that the road on Steventon Bridge would be closed completely for eight months from February while electri-

18-year-old child rapist is sentenced to 10 years A TEENAGER has been jailed for 10 years for raping and assaulting girls as young as 12 who he threatened to kill if they told police. Archie Collicutt, 18, of Wilcote Riding, Finstock, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court last Thursday. He will serve 10 years in jail and an additional three years on licence. Collicutt pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of

sexual activity with a child and one count of the attempted rape of a child under 13. The offences relate to incidents with seven girls between March 2012 and September 2013. He raped a 13-year-old in March 2012 and said he would kill her and her family if she were to tell anyone.

In another incident in June 2013, he attempted to rape a 12-year-old girl and again threatened her and her family to stop her telling police. Collicutt was arrested and charged in September 2013. Investigating officer Det Con Ian Gibbard said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collicutt deliberately took advantage of young girls, abusing them and threatening them in order to stop them telling anyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased he took the opportunity to plead guilty and spare the victims from having to come to court, but that in no way makes up for what he did to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to take this opportunity to commend their bravery in coming forward to tell police what had happened to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will always take any allegations of sexual offences seriously and so I urge anyone who is a victim of offences like these, or knows someone who is, to get in touch and we will help in any way we can.â&#x20AC;? The investigation was supported by the Kingfisher team at Cowley Police Station in Oxford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a collaboration between police, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social care and health dealing with children who are being sexually exploited or who are at risk.

â&#x20AC;˘ Sandford-on-Thames weir (picture by Richard Rees) PLANS to install Archimedes screws at Sandford-on-Thames weir to harness hydro power have been withdrawn over fears it could harm an endangered species of bats. Community energy company Low Carbon Hub submitted an application to build the hydro scheme to Vale of White Horse District Council on September 29. A decision was due to be made on Tuesday but the application was withdrawn last week. Low Carbon Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation director Adriano Figueiredo said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concerns were raised about whether or not there were some endangered species that could be nesting there

Mr Figueiredo said he will meet the case officer in the next fortnight to discuss whether the application can be re-submitted with a view to a survey next summer or wait until after next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fi ndings. The project is the brainchild of Sandford Hydro Community Group and could generate 1,600MWh of electricity per year - the equivalent to 385 homes.

County council’s school partnership abandoned PLANS for Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) back office services for schools to be run in Hampshire will not go ahead, the council’s cabinet heard on Tuesday. OCC had planned to enter into a partnership with Hampshire County Council that would see the latter take over some administration services as part of a cost-cutting measure. It would have included school improvement services, foundation stage learning, services for vulnerable learners and governor services. But council officers concluded that there were no clear fi nancial benefits to the scheme, and that there were policy differences in education between the two authorities. It was recommended that the council withdraw from the partnership talks, which the cabinet agreed with at their Tuesday meeting. Jim Leivers, director for children’s services at OCC, said: “Officers have concluded, with regret, that benefits will not be realised to a sufficient degree to be advantageous to either the council or the schools.

By Adam Flinn adam@taylornewspapers.co.uk

“It is clear also that a merger could take some time to become efficient and effective. “This view has been confi rmed and acknowledged in an exchange of letters between the director for children’s services in Hampshire.” OCC’s cabinet had recommended that consideration should be given to a partnership with Hampshire County Council back in April this year. Melinda Tilley, cabinet member for children, education and families, said: “We just weren’t going anywhere so we decided to abandon it, and I think we will be trying somewhere else. “Hopefully it will save money, particularly around school to school support. “I think the future for local government is to share services, so I think we will be looking around to see where we can do that.” Cllr Tilley added that the council would be looking at partnership opportunities with other councils sometime next year.

early mornings and late evenings is great for residents in this area. “This is only going to make their lives more unbearable.” Officer Sharon Crawford had given a recommendation of approval for a temporary twoyear period. Didcot Town Council objected due to plans for housing in Station Road next to the unloading area. Sainsbury’s argued extended delivery hours would ensure more efficient distribution of goods, ease traffic congestion, and improve road safety as more vehicles could travel outside peak times. However, councillors on the planning committee agreed with the objections. Henley South member Jenni Wood said: “I don’t think anyone would like to live near anybody delivering at 11 o’clock at night and I can’t see a need for it. “It is not fair on the neighbours.” Sonning Common councillor Paul Harrison added: “People will not get their eight hours sleep they need to because of the noise. “It is totally unacceptable.”

Fireman recalls saving kids from pub blaze AFTER more than 30 years of service, a Burford fire fighter is hanging up his overalls this weekend. Dave Hemming, 60, attended his last drill at Burford’s Witney Street fi re station on Tuesday and will retire from Oxford Oxford-

shire Fire and Rescue Service on Sunday. Mr Hemming, a motor technician at Dowley’s Dowley s in Cart Carterton, says after 34 years it is time t to call it a day. He added: “You s see the care young lads careering up the ladders nowadays and I th think to myself that it iis time to retire. “Th “The best b t thing other than se serving the communi community and helping to p protect people is the th buzz of the job, which w I will miss. “There is great spirit at the fi rre station with the other oth lads and we really wor work well together, so obviousl obviously I will miss that side of things.” thing A large bl blaze at the Blue Inn in Burford High Burfor Street in Stre

1982, where two children were rescued from a window ledge, is among Mr Hemming’s most memorable call-outs. He continued: “I remember the fi re engine turning the corner and me seeing these two young kids on a window ledge of the Bull Inn, which was well alight. “Myself and my colleague were fi rst in the building to deal with the fi re and I recall just how hot the fi re was. “We had only just got a new longer ladder for our fi re engine in the week before the fi re and had only tested it out once. “I really do not know what we would have done to save those children from that ledge if we had not had that ladder.” Burford’s fi re station commander Nick Bourke said: “Dave has been an exceptional professional and excellent servant to the community of Burford and Oxfordshire throughout his 34 years of service.” He added: “I am sure many people will join me in congratulating and thanking Dave for his important work and also in wishing him all the very best for the future.”

MP’s Corner Nicola Blackwood MP for Oxford West and Abingdon

Spotlight on osteoporosis OSTEOPOROSIS, a debilitating bone disease, is a hidden condition that often people do not realise they have until it is well advanced. However, over three million have been diagnosed with the disease and it leaves many people unable to look after themselves, it can cause posture and breathing difficulties, and can mean that even the smallest fall could fracture a bone. As well as costing far too many people their independence, fractures caused by Osteoporosis cost the NHS a staggering £1.73billion per year. This is expected to rise to over £2.1 billion per year by 2020. As an MP, I regularly visit local GP surgeries and local hospitals, and I am contacted by a large number of constit-

uents experiencing health issues. I recently visited the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, where I am a patron, for World Osteoporosis Day to hear about their life-saving work. What struck me most was the poor levels of identification and the high-risk health implications if the disease goes untreated. Every year there are more fractures due to fragile bones than there are heart attacks, and after visiting the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre I feel strongly we must work hard to raise awareness of Osteoporosis and encourage people to seek help and get screened as soon as they see warning signs. For more information, visit Oxford University Hospital NHS Trust’s website: ouh. nhs.uk/hospitals/noc.

BAYNARDS GREEN: A 51-year-old motorcyclist is in a critical condition in hospital after suffering serious chest injuries in a collision on the A43 on November 18. He was riding a silver BMW when involved in a collision with an articulated lorry on the A43 at the Baynards Green roundabout with the junction of the B4100. The motorcyclist was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headley Way. Anyone with information should call police on 101.

Views sought OXFORD: Andrew Smith, MP for Oxford East, is urging residents to give their opinions on Oxford University Hospitals becoming an NHS Foundation Trust. The trust has applied to the regulator Monitor. It would see patients and staff becoming members or governors. Residents can send their views to andrew.smith.mp@ gmail.com.

News Bites West Way plans OXFORD: Plans for a new £100million West Way shopping centre in Botley were recommended for approval yesterday. A report by Vale of White Horse District Council officers advised councillors to accept the plans ahead of their deciding vote at a planning committee meeting this Wednesday. The plans would see the current West Way shopping centre, Elms Parade of shops, Field House sheltered housing and the empty Elms Court office block demolished to build a supermarket, cinema, hotel, gym, shops, 50 flats and 525 student rooms. Councillors are to make a decision at Abingdon’s Guildhall in Abbey Close from 6.30pm.

City brawl OXFORD: A group of up to eight men are thought to have attacked two men outside Debenhams in George Street on November 15. The incident at around 3am left two 24-year-old men unconscious - one with an injured cheek, the other with a broke ankle and damaged jaw. The eight men, aged between 19 and 21, were seen running off towards St Giles. Police are asking for witnesses to call 101.

Man robbed OXFORD: A car parking attendant was robbed by two men in Osney Lane at around 6pm on November 18. One man punched the victim, while the second stole money before they both ran off.

OXFORD-BASED hospice Helen & Douglas House employed a new boss last Thursday in 12-year-old Mason Fernley. Mason, from Finstock in West Oxfordshire, helped run the Magdalen Road hospice for the day. He was one of five children at the hospice to take part in a national Takeover Day giving youngsters the chance to take the reins in adults’ jobs. As Mason has the condition Deuchenne muscular dystrophy, which results in muscle degeneration, he can’t take part in conventional work experience schemes so was offered this opportunity instead. “It was an excellent day,” said Mason. “In the morning we did an environmental audit going round Helen House looking for danger-

ous things that could cause harm to people.” “In the afternoon we helped create and direct a new fundraising video for Christmas shopping online and I wrapped presents for that. “The best bit was being a boss.” Mason and his fellow young bosses Adam Carpenter, Daniel Ball, Sam Daly and Sian Davies were all presented with certificates at the end of the day. Karin Hyatt, a teacher at Oxfordshire Hospital School who helped the youngsters during the day, was pleased with the work they did. She said: “By the end of the day we had five young people who had gone home so much more confident and really good friends.”

Higgs Hunters sought by Oxford scientist AN OXFORD scientist is appealing for volunteers to take part in a project to view 25,000 images recorded at the CERN Large Hadron Collider near Geneva to find out if a new particle has been created. Professor Alan Barr of the university’s Department of Physics is the lead scientist for the Higgs Hunters project, which launched yesterday. He and the Higgs Hunters team are looking for people to look for and tag sub-atomic explosions on the pictures caused when a Higgs boson particle ‘dies’. “If anything, discovering what happens when a Higgs boson ‘dies’ could be even more exciting than the original discovery that the Higgs boson exists back in 2012,” said Professor Barr.

“We want volunteers to help us go beyond the Higgs boson barrier by examining pictures of these collisions and telling us what they see.” The pictures were taken during the ATLAS experiment, which saw protons smashed together at speeds of up to one billion kilometres per hour. Simulations predict that new particles created as a result should leave noticeable tracks, which computers struggle to identify but can often be picked out by the naked eye on screen. Professor Dave Charlton, spokesman for the ATLAS collaboration, said: “Perhaps volunteers will be able to spot new physics with their own eyes.” To take part in the project, go to higgshunters.org.

Advertorial

“WHICH” report April 2014.

Independent hearing aid providers come out on top ACCORDING to a “WHICH” report carried out in March and April 2014 Independent hearing aid providers were rated as the most satisfactory compared to Boots, Amplifon, Specsavers and Hidden Hearing. An independent hearing aid audiologist is able to prescribe hearing aids from all manufacturers and find the exact system to suit your needs and budget. However some of the high street hearing aid retailers are tied to specific manufacturers therefore giving a limited choice. Buying a hearing aid system is not just about the cost of the aid itself, you are purchasing an on-going package and so other things to consider are:1. Who is going to fit my hearing aids, and will I subsequently see the same person? 2. What is the level of ongoing aftercare and support after your hearing aids have been fitted? 3. Is the aftercare and support included in the price of the hearing aid system? 4. What is the length of the manufacturers warranty? 5. Can you trial the hearing system? 6. What are the ongoing costs i.e. batteries and wax guards? Beware, some companies offer

free guides on hearing aids and follow these up with home visits. They are often lead generation companies who operate in a sales based way. They may sell your information on to other large hearing aid providers who will target you with mail and telephone calls to entice you to buy their hearing aid systems. The same can also be said for websites which appear to offer comparatively low priced hearing aids. If you are thinking of purchasing a hearing system it is important to compare the cost with a like for like hearing aid system and what aftercare is included. If the aftercare is not included in the cost of the system then how much will it typically cost you over the life of your hearing aids. It can take time to fit and adjust a hearing system correctly so that it is working to maximise your hearing. Without a professional, attentive fitting, and programming by an experienced audiologist and a reliable aftercare service in place it is possible that your hearing aids will end up in a drawer somewhere because they failed to give you the benefits that you expected. The difference between a good and a bad hearing aid solution is not usu-

ally the aid itself, since most aids are made by a handful of manufacturers. It’s more to do with the professional ﬁt and service given by the provider. Hearing aids are only as good as the expertise of the dispensing audiologist. Keith Donaghy is an independent hearing aid audiologist with over 27 years experience of prescribing hearing aid systems in the Oxfordshire

area. A consultation with him is FREE and he will happily help and advise you which, if necessary, hearing system will suit your lifestyle and budget the best. All with no obligation, what have you got to lose? Book a free hearing consultation today either in Witney, Buckingham, Banbury or in the comfort of your own home.

Comic tale HE’S tried podium dancing, he’s worked on an oil rig. But stand-up is for him, Marcus Brigstocke told the Guardian. The comedian, actor and satirist is at The Theatre in Chipping Norton on Monday bringing his stand-up show ‘Je m’accuse - I am Marcus.’ The 41-year-old said: “Oh man, it’s the best artistic transaction you can make.” “I remember the very fi rst time I ever did stand-up. “I entered an open-mic comedy competition for Kiss FM at a club in Holborn in central London. “The fi rst four minutes went very badly, but the last three minutes went very well. “I came second in the competition and thought, ‘That’ll do!’” He added: “I still remember thinking as I put the mic back on its stand, ‘Holy cow, if I can do this for the rest of my life, I’ll be very happy. “This is the thing I want to do now’. I still feel that.” Brigstocke, from Guildford, also visited the Oxford Playhouse on November 5, and will visit The Mills Art Centre in Banbury on Tuesday, December 2, during his three-month tour.

cess in both radio and TV. Before becoming a regular name on BBC Radio 4, Brigstocke had to defeat a number of demons against addictions relating to food, drink and drugs. The funnyman also tried odd jobs as a podium dancer and working on an oilrig when he dropped out of Bristol University. “It’s a great big story. I’ve never told it before because then the press wants you to be the ‘tragic alcoholic’ or the ‘eating disorder guy’. That’s not me. “I had five years of drinking and I’ve now had 24 years clean, so I just felt it was about time I told the story,” he added. “I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me though, it’s not an inspiring tale of a remarkable turnaround as it’s just something that happened. “I won’t be pouring out my heart and soul. “It’s just a really funny story.” Tickets for the gig have now sold out, but the Chipping Norton theatre has a ticket waiting list. The show is suitable for anyone over the age of 14, and costs £16.

1930’s scandal on stage

• Caroline Langrishe as Margot (Image by Flavia Fraser-Cannon)

A REVIVAL of Terence Rattigan’s 1934 classic will bring his first play ‘First Episode’ back to life at an Oxford theatre tomorrow. The play, written while Rattigan was an Oxford undergraduate, will take to the stage of The Simpkins Lee Theatre at The Lady Margaret Hall in Norham Gardens for one showing tomorrow, November 28, and two on Saturday, November 29. The story focuses on, Bertie, Joan, Tony and David; a group of young students putting on a play. The four manage to rope in movie star Margot Gresham to play the lead role, threatening their close friendships, when the students experience their fi rst adult love affair. “I’m very excited that it’s coming to Oxford,” director Tom Littler told the Guardian. “Terence Rattigan wrote this play in the 1930’s when he was a student at Trinity College, Oxford. “It’s very autobiographical and based on his time at the university.” Sir Terence Mervyn Rattigan, CBE was born on June 10 1911 in South Kensington, London. After studying in Oxford, Rattigan carved out a successful career as a dramatist, writing 27 stage plays and six television plays.

By James Richings jamesr@taylornewspapers.co.uk

But despite fame as one of England’s most popular 20th century dramatists, Rattigan was a troubled homosexual who considered himself an outsider. He died aged 66 in November, 1977, from bone cancer. “‘First Episode’ was considered to be very scandalous in the 1930’s,” Littler said. “It was quite explicit (for its time) about sex and even homosexuality.” The 30-year-old added: “People forgot all about Rattigan’s fi rst play because he went out of fashion in the 1960’s.” Littler, a former English student at The Lady Margaret Hall, said: “I shall be looking forward to my fi rst Christmas in Oxford. “My wife and I moved here in the summer, so it will be great to spend some time together and explore the city during Christmas.” Friday’s performance starts at 7pm, and Saturday’s start at 2pm and 7.30pm. Tickets cost £15 to £35. The show is suitable for anyone over the age of 12.

Welcome to Ford Logs FORD logs are a leading producer of quality dry fi rewood based in Southern Oxfordshire and despite being a small company, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a friendly company that are here to help you. We specialise in producing quality dry Beech and Ash logs for woodburners, open fi res and fi re pits and despite being based in South Oxfordshire, we deliver all over Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshere. Unlike our competitors, we do not use other mixed hardwoods and to give the consumer peace of mind that a quality product will be received, all of our logs are inspected before being loaded onto our vehicles. Our fi rewood is UK sourced (ideally within a 40 mile radius of our yard) from local estates, Parklands, Managed Forests, local arborists and our own tree surgery business, with all of our wood being well seasoned and barn stored. Beech and Ash produce greater BTUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s therefore generating a longer burn, generating a greater heat source and saving you money. Quality control is taken seriously within Fordlogs, knowing that the wood you receive is at its optimum and ready to burn. All of our wood is constantly monitored

with moisture reading devices, with no wood leaving the yard above 10/15% moisture content (unless specified). All of our logs are delivered loosely and not off loaded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roadsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We can tip very close to where the logs are to be stacked. We also offer a professional Stacking service if required at very competitive rate. Simply fi ll in the contact form via our website with your enquiry, or alternatively call us to discuss your individual requirements. We specialize and offer quality well seasoned Beech and Ash logs that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint you. Primarily as a landscaping company, we can guarantee a quality product, as we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on logs as our main source of income. We also offer quality low m/c Kindling, which is neatly packed in small bags (for ease in starting fi res). We offer a complete stacking service starting from ÂŁ10.00. For more information you can visit www. fordlogs.co.uk or contact us on 07880 690 925, 01367 718 551 and logs@fordlogs.co.uk.

BUYING the perfect Christmas present can be one of the most rewarding and kindest gestures a person can do, as your buying a gift for someone that you like, love and admire. However, it can also be one of the hardest decisions a person can make, because so many ideas will be running through your head on what you should get for a certain person. Usually, buying the perfect gift for someone shouldn’t be that difficult. You know your friends and family incredibly well. You know their interests and pet hates, so why on earth is buying ‘the perfect present’ really difficult? It’s because we are scared of their reactions. Just imagine it: You’ve decided to book a romantic weekend away with the husband, but fi nd out he is working away from home, the weekend you’ve planned on going away. You’ve splashed out on this piece of jewellery that you think your other half would love, but when they see it, they’re not to keen on the design.

You’ve decided that you are going to spoil your children buy purchasing that ONE toy you know your kids will adore, but when they rip open that wrapping paper and see what you’ve got them, it’s the complete opposite of what they originally wanted. Sometimes the perfect gift that you can buy could be the worst gift you can buy. Now, after reading this, we don’t want you pulling your hair out and start panic buying on things that ‘might seem perfect’. We are here to help YOU fi nd the gift that YOU know is perfect for a certain someone, and trust us; you know when a gift is perfect for someone. So don’t worry if you think there isn’t enough time to get the gifts in. There is still plenty of time until the big day on December 25, to get that perfect present for your loved ones. Here are a few businesses in and around the Oxfordshire area that can help you with your gifts and treats dilemmas.

The Oxfordshire Inn Hotel HERE at the Oxfordshire Inn Hotel, we’ve got a fantastic range of menus to make sure that your taste buds are satisfied over the Christmas period. All of our mouth-watering menus are all three-course meals, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with what we’ve got on offer. Our Christmas party lunch is just £12.95 per person. From two starters, three mains and three desserts, your brain will be struggling to decide what to choose from. Why not start off with the Cream of Tomato and Basil Soup, followed by the Fillet of Salmon?

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

And to fi nish off, why not try the Chocolate and Orange Jaffa Sponge? Those are just some of the options for the Christmas Party Lunch. Our Christmas party dinner is just £21.95 per person. With four starters, four mains and four desserts, this is one dilemma you want to have. You can start off with the Deep Fried Breaded Brie Wedges that can be followed by the Hand Carved Breast of Turkey, and to wrap it all up, why not try the Classic Christmas Pudding? And fi nally, to make this a Christmas to remember, why not have our Christmas Day Lunch at just £59.95

or £30 for children under 12. With seven starters, five main courses and five desserts, this is like an extra present. After you started off with the Lemon Sorbet, why not indulge yourself into the Homemade Nut Roast followed by the ultimate classic - Cheese and Biscuits. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a fi ne selection of food. To see the full list of our Christmas menus, please visit oxfordshireinnhotel.co.uk/christmas.

British car maker carves out a new niche with their updated city car hitting showrooms

Spinning through cities in style

SMALL city cars come in many shapes and forms, yet with this new Adam ROCKS AIR, Vauxhall has carved out yet another sub-niche – the small urban crossover. Essentially it’s a slighter, taller riding (by 15mm) Adam, with beefed-up plastic cladding and silver-coloured skid plates and bumper inserts, with a choice of 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels. Another key feature of the car is the electric fabric roof - available in a choice of three exterior colours – black, sweet coffee or light oak. Under the skin there have been tweaks but perhaps most significant is the introduction of Vauxhall’s new 1.0 direct injection turbocharged threecylinder engine. It’s a real gem, proving to be smooth and sweet, even when worked hard. Performance is certainly brisk, with this little tot whizzing to 62mph in 9.9 seconds and onto a 121mph top speed. Despite the oomph on tap, it also returns a claimed combined 55.4mpg and emits a healthy 119g/km of CO2. In terms of ride, handling and com-

REVIEW: Vauxhall Adam ROCKS AIR

By Phillip Shoulder fort, this ROCKS AIR sees an improvement over the standard Adam. It might not have the driving dynamics of a Mini, but it still manages to be enjoyable – aided by that great engine and slick, precise six speed gearbox. Like the standard Adam, the interior of this ROCKS AIR is hugely appealing. Leather door trims, a coloured dash insert and a chunky two-tone steering wheel make the car feel interesting and premium. The large fabric roof also adds extra interest – the only downside being that it does let through some extraneous traffic noise. But best of all? It can open and close in just five seconds and be operated at speeds of up to 85mph. Adam offers comfortable accommodation in the front: seats are supportive, and the driving position has plenty of adjustment. However, things in the back are seriously cramped and the 170 litre boot is very small.

Standard equipment levels are pretty good and include: rear privacy glass, 17-inch alloys, air conditioning, DAB, Bluetooth, and cruise. Disappointingly, the very useful Intellilink infotainment system, which

allows integration with your smartphone using a range of downloadable apps, costs an extra £275. Our test car is also packed out with optional goodies but this brings the price tag up to a rather steep £19,365.

Verdict: With distinctive rugged looks and access to wind-in-thehair motoring, the new mechanical improvements allow the stylish city car to shine – but it’s hard to ignore the high list price.

Jewell strives for more progress FULL-BACK Seb Jewell says London Welsh’s performance against Leicester Tigers last Sunday has set the benchmark for further improvement. The Exiles suffered an eighth consecutive loss in the Aviva Premiership in last weekend’s 26-5 defeat and are 11 points adrift at the bottom of the table. But Jewell saw plenty of positives from the match and is now hoping Welsh can build on the performance. The 27-year-old said: “There are still areas we need to work on but confidence in our defence, structure and system is a lot better than what it was. “There is also a level of frustration as to why it has taken so long for us to get to this point but now that’s the benchmark and what we need to build on.” Welsh showed a good reaction from the crushing 71-7 defeat at

By Jack Johnson jack@taylornewspapers.co.uk

London Wasps a week earlier and Jewell set up Nick Scott to open the scoring against Leicester. However, the visitors worked their way back into the match and two tries from hooker Harry Thacker put Tigers into a 12-5 lead at half-time. Graham Kitchener and Robert Barbieri went over after the break to put the match beyond the Exiles. Jewell said: “I think we always knew they were going to come back into it. “We potentially could have got more out of the game but credit to Leicester for digging in.” The full-back has featured in all eight rounds of the Premiership this season and is enjoying

being back at 15 after spells at centre last year. He said: “I have been trying to keep myself fit and it is nice to be playing back at full-back with a bit more space and time on the ball. “I have still got lots I can improve on, I’m making a couple of silly mistakes, but I feel I am contributing to the team and as long as I can keep myself in the side that is the main focus.” The Exiles face another tough test this weekend as they welcome champions and league leaders Northampton Saints to the Kassam on Sunday. Jewell added: “It is going to be a tough game but that is what we are in the Premiership for. “As long as we make a step forward like we did last week then hopefully come the New Year we can really start to make some strides.”

Ross expecting Welsh to KASSAM STADIUM improve performance Sunday November 30th | KO 2.30pm ASSISTANT coach Gordon Ross says he expects a lot more from London Welsh despite an improved performance against Leicester Tigers. The Exiles were beaten 26-5 by Tigers last Sunday and showed plenty of promising signs. Seb Jewell’s kick to set up Nick Scott for the opening try was one of them and Ross is now urging further improvement. The 36-year-old fly-half said: “There were a few encouraging signs but we expect a lot more. “There is still a long way to go but we have got to keep getting better. “Losing 26-5 at home is not acceptable but it is a step in the right direction.” The Exiles welcome league leaders Northampton Saints to the Kas- • Gordon Ross (picture by Martin John) skill level but we need to make sure sam Stadium on Sunday and Ross match this weekend. wants to see more of the skill that He said: “There’s no doubt that we work harder so that comes out created last week’s try in their our players have got a very high more frequently.”

LONDON WELSH VS NORTHAMPTON SAINTS

Another brace for Adi as City beat Stalybridge TOP scorer Adi Yussuf netted his fourth goal in two games as Oxford City beat Stalybridge Celtic 2-0 last weekend. City moved up to sixth in the Vanarama Conference North as a result and are now on a threematch unbeaten run. Yussuf backed up the brace he scored against Brackley Town the week before with another double up in Greater Manchester last Sunday. The 22-year-old scored on 24 and 63 minutes to take his tally to 12 goals this season. Justin Merritt’s side have taken 31 points from 20 games and

are eight points behind current league leaders Barrow, who have three games in hand. And next up for City is an FA Trophy third qualifying round tie at home to Lewes on Saturday. The East Sussex club are currently third from bottom in the Ryman Premier League, a division below City. • Adi Yussuf scored two more goals against Stalybridge Celtic (picture by Mike Allen)

Whing pleased with United’s progress Barry hopeful for Saturday WANTAGE Town manager Daniel Barry is confident Saturday’s match at home to Bridgwater Town in Division One South & West will be on after two postponements in a week. The Alfredians’ game at Clevedon Town last Saturday and Tuesday’s home match against Cinderford Town were both called off due to the wet weather. But Barry is optimistic Saturday’s game against 11thplaced Bridgwater will be on as he looks for his fi rst win as Wantage manager. He said: “The problem we had on Tuesday is that it rained all day. “The pitch will be heavy on Saturday but it will defi nitely be on.” Barry had targeted four points against 18th-placed Clevedon and 13th-placed Cinderford and was disappointed they were called off. He said: “It would have been nice to have games against teams around us just to see where we are but we go again against a team who are comfortable in the league. “It has allowed us to have some training sessions and the squad will know each other a bit more.” Wantage will be without the suspended Sam Barder on Saturday, while George Reid and James Glover are unavailable.

Heavy defeat for Quins OXFORD Harlequins lost a second game in succession on Saturday as they were thumped 53-5 away to National League 3 South West leaders Redingensians. The hosts dominated the match throughout, with tries coming courtesy of Jamie Guttridge, Dave Massey and Gavin Dampies as Redingensians earned a 46 point lead. Jack Robinson got a consolation score for ’Quins towards the end, although there was time for Ian Jeffreys to add another try for the hosts. The result puts ’Quins eighth in the standings with 23 points, one behind seventh-placed Old Centralians, although they do have a game in hand. Elsewhere, Grove RFC picked up their fi rst win of the month at home to Maidenhead in the South West 1 East, winning the match 24-13. But there was disappointment for Witney, whose 17-15 defeat to Leighton Buzzard was their third loss in a row.

ANDY Whing believes Oxford United are getting better and better despite struggling to break down a resolute AFC Wimbledon side last Saturday. United are unbeaten in three games in all competitions and 19th in Sky Bet League Two, just six points off the top half of the table. Whing, who has made eight appearances this season since recovering from a groin operation in the summer, saw the positives in last weekend’s goalless draw. The 30-year-old said: “We’re starting to play how the gaffer wants us to play, I think we have done all season, but for longer spells. “I think we’re learning and getting better and better. “Overall it is starting to come together.” United dominated the opening exchanges against the Dons without testing goalkeeper James Shea. And it was U’s keeper Ryan Clarke who was fi rst called into action to deny Matt Tubbs and Adebayo Azeez. United had a lot of the ball and looked to stretch the visitors but could only muster one shot on target in the fi rst half through Alfie Potter. The stalemate continued in the second half but both sides had half chances with Danny Hylton fi ring wide and Azeez

testing Clarke once again. United suffered a big blow on the hour mark as teenager James Roberts, who was making his home debut after three goals in two games, pulled up with a hamstring injury. However, Michael Appleton’s side continued to push for a late goal as the clock ran down but Potter’s late effort was smoth-

ered by Shea. Despite United’s frustration in being unable break the deadlock, Whing was pleased with the performance. He said: “We had a lot of the ball, a lot of patience, but we didn’t have that fi nal killer pass in the last third. “That is what killed us but I thought our play up to the last third was very good. “We’re disappointed with the result because we thought they were there for the taking but

we’re not that disappointed with the performance. “It is still four points and unbeaten in three games and we want to carry that on.” United are next in action on Saturday when they make the short trip down the A40 to face Cheltenham Town. • Andy Whing battles for the ball with Sammy Moore during last Saturday’s match with AFC Wimbledon (picture by Steve Daniels)

United play out eight-goal thriller AN EXTRA-TIME equaliser prevented Abingdon United from advancing to the third round of the FA Vase last Saturday as they drew a thrilling tie 4-4 with Littlehampton Town. Ben Gray headed home with eight minutes remaining to force a replay, which was

played as the Oxfordshire Guardian went to print last night. On Saturday, United were forced to come back from 3-0 before being denied the win. George Landais’ brace and a Dan Swain strike put Littlehampton in control but United came roaring back.

Anaclet Odhiambo, Tom Melledew and Kieran Cochrane scored to level the tie and as the match entered extra time Andy Younie put United into a 4-3 lead. However, Gray’s late header saw the match end all square. Elsewhere, Thame United

Hawks defeat HOCKEY: Oxford Hawks men’s 1s slid to a 3-1 loss at home against top of the league side Sevenoaks on Saturday. The visitors battled to an early lead with two fi rst half goals. The fi rst off a short corner was put away after the fl ick hit a Hawks leg. But the second fi nish was slick, piercing Hawks’ defensive D through clever short passing before a fierce shot. Hawks fought back with strong possessive passing which lasted into the second half, but lacked attacking fi nish. A Sevenoaks third goal fi red Ethan Chapman into action and efficient passing from the halfway line was put forcefully into the backboard by George Creed. Hawks still lie fourth in the table in the South League Premier Division 1 but slip to seven points behind leaders Sevenoaks and six behind joint second and third. Oxford Hawks women’s 1s also faced a tough match at home against top of the table Slough. The visitors opened the scoring but Hawks responded with an attack which saw Lucy Millington bury the ball with a reverse stick strike. A Caro Harris goal for Hawks edged them into the lead but Slough responded. Both sides set their defence which neither team could break for a 2-2 draw at the whistle. The equaliser saw them move up to sixth in the table in the Investec Women’s Hockey League Women’s Conference West standings.

Appleton eyes new signing for United MICHAEL Appleton is remaining positive that he will be able to add to his Oxford United squad on the last day of the loan window today. The U’s head coach has taken advantage of the loan system in recent weeks with Chey Dunkley joining from Kidderminster Harriers until January. Although the deadline is today, Appleton is hopeful of bringing in a new face, while players could also leave the club on loan. He said: “We have certainly identified a couple of players that we would like to do something with. “But there are a couple of play-

ers that need to go the other way.” Appleton has praised the competition within his squad in recent weeks and hopes a new face can further intensify it. He added: “The lads who have got the shirts; it’s up to them to keep hold of them. “If we can continue with the competition for places and even bring in more faces then performance wise we will keep to a standard that we expect most weeks.” • Michael Appleton is looking to add to his United squad today (picture by Steve Daniels)

WORST SEASON EVER FOR LOTUS End of the F1 season leaves Enstone team with just 10 points after Abu Dhabi finale IT was another fruitless weekend for Enstone-based Lotus F1, as they failed to pick up any points from the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to conclude the worst year in the team’s history. Romain Grosjean brought his Lotus home in 13th after overtaking the championship challenging Mercedes of Nico Rosberg on the fi nal lap of the race. But it was the highest that Grosjean got during the race, and only came after Rosberg’s car was beset with mechanical problems. “We did the best we could,” said Grosjean. “My race wasn’t that eventful, and I think that we are all glad that the season is now over. “We have a new power unit and aerodynamically next year’s car is looking like a great step forward, so now it’s time to take a break, recharge our batteries and look ahead to 2015.” Pastor Maldonado’s season ended in much more dramatic fashion. The Venezuelan was forced out of the race when his engine caught fi re.

He had been running in 12th place when the blaze engulfed the car on lap 26, with Maldonado having to make a hasty exit from his burning Lotus. “That was a surprising race for me,” he said. “Our race pace was actually pretty good and I was able to fight with the Ferraris as well as enjoy the feel from the car. “Unfortunately my race had to end early, and the flames showed the engine wasn’t working too well which also meant it was getting quite hot in the car.” The race concludes the Enstone team’s worst F1 season, having scored 10 points with best results of eighth in Spain and Monaco. And Leafield-based Caterham managed to get to the end of the race with one car as rookie driver Will Stevens fi nished 17th. Kamui Kobayashi’s race came to an early end as the car became undriveable due to a vibration. The team are continuing to look for investors to buy the team and get them on the grid for 2015.
