IN MEMORY OF MARIE CORNEY 1938—2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the death on 22 December 2016 of Contact’s lead editor Marie Corney, aged 78. Loving wife of Alan, and devoted mother to Rachel and Stephen and beloved Nana of Hayden and Sarah. The Contact team dedicate this issue to the memory of Marie. After retiring from the Oxford University Alan and Marie moved to Adderbury where Marie joined the FOCAL group and the KHH Fundraising office as a volunteer. She helped organise a number of fundraising events such as the Midnight Walk, Santa Fun Run and Lights of Love. More recently she became an editor of Contact utilising her computer skills. “Marie joined Contact in February 2013 as a joint editor with Mary Chilver; Marie became Contact's thirteenth editor. Together she, and Mary, saw through the publishing of twenty-two issues of Contact; to be joined, later, by Carda Traunero and Paul Ness. Marie brought to Contact a sharp, enquiring mind plus a touch of her Oxford background.” - Nick Allen “As a former Contact Editor I was lucky enough to meet Marie when she was introduced by Nick Allen to fill a vacant editor post and joined the team in January 2013. Marie was very proactive and quickly brought about several changes. One of which was a new style sheet, the first in over twenty years. Marie was full of energy, supremely capable, kind and supportive. Marie will be very sadly missed and our thoughts go out to her husband Alan and family.” Mary Chilver “I met Marie last year when I became the new Contact editor. She invited me to their home in Lake Walk where she took me through everything I needed to know. I checked my list of questions at the end of the meeting. She had answered them all showing her great attention to detail which I experienced again each time she proofread for me. She was always warm and encouraging in all our interactions giving guidance with gentle authority. She is sadly missed.” - Paul Ness The funeral was held on the 18 January at St Mary’s Church and private committal at Banbury Crematorium followed by a gathering of friends and family. If you have memories of Marie please send them to the family at 21 Griffin Close, Twyford, Banbury, OX17 3HR or by email to rxmoffat@gmail.com. 88


HUNDREDS ENJOY ADDERBURY’S CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL Thank you to everyone who helped to make St Mary’s Church Adderbury’s popular, annual Christmas Tree Festival (2 - 4 December) such a success. Hundreds of people of all ages visited St Mary’s Church to see its transformation into a glittering wonderland. We made just over £3,900, with the majority going towards the work and upkeep of St Mary’s Church and the rest going to The Children’s Society. Live music and festive refreshments were served throughout the three day festival, with a glorious Victorian Carol Service on Sunday afternoon to close the event. The festival saw the church filled with 40 trees, all individually decorated by local businesses, schools, charities and organisations. Visitors to the event were asked to vote for their favourite tree and by the end of the festival, the winners of the public vote were as follows:  Overall Best Decorated Tree - Little Angels See photograph on Page 2  Best Decorated ‘Business’ Tree - The Coach and Horses  Best Decorated ‘Adult’ Tree - The Adderbury Bellringers  Best Decorated ‘Community’ Tree - Adderbury History Society Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who supported this community event.

CAN YOU HELP EDIT CONTACT? We urgently need new editors to help keep Contact going. Contact has come a long way since it first appeared in January 1979 as an eight page issue. By volunteering you help ensure Contact continues to be an important part of village life connecting the community and promoting local businesses. The production team includes editors who pull the magazine together each month. There are now only two editors who take turns giving their time so the village can enjoy the magazine each month. By volunteering you would only need to give a few hours every three months. If you are interested and have the computer skills to create the magazine using Word, Publisher, etc. then please email editor@adderburycontact.org.uk or call Paul Ness on 811740. Being an editor is a great way to contribute to village life, find out what is going on and meet new people. Go on, have a go! ____________________________________

ADDERBURY HISTORY ASSOCIATION On 21 November Richard Smith came from Oxford. Having extricated himself from the aerobics at the Institute he found his way to the correct venue! His talk was about “the man with his head in the clouds”. Richard is a comedy writer and broadcaster for radio, TV and films. He grew up in Lincolnshire and his first job was writing obituaries for the Boston Standard newspaper. It was in Boston library that he first encountered the story of James Sadler, the ‘man’ in the title, and the first Englishman to fly in a balloon. He began with a brief history of how balloon flight came about, originating in France with the Montgolfier brothers. James Sadler (1753-1828) was baptised and buried in St Peter in the East in Oxford but during his life he moved around the country. He was a pastry cook in his father’s business before his interest in balloons developed and he understood the science behind them. His initial interest waned and among other jobs he went to work in Portsmouth researching how to improve naval guns and he mixed with many eminent men of the period. Richard’s talk was highly amusing with many topical or unexpected jokes interspersed with the main content. Sometimes however it was difficult to follow the theme amongst the humour. Nevertheless it was an entertaining evening at the end of a dreary and overcast day. Richard has written several books including “The man with his head in the clouds”. For details see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Richard-O.-Smith/e/B005FXQP1A In December we combined our Christmas party with a speaker. A bring and share buffet supper was followed by an entertaining talk from Ursula Buchan. The Institute was bedecked with red, white and blue bunting in keeping with the 1940s theme of the evening. Just over 50 members and guests attended. Ursula Buchan is a gardening author and lecturer and posed the question “Did we really dig for Victory?” Her presentation of the grass roots of the government campaign - the facts and figures - was neatly done and well sprinkled with anecdotes both personal and general. It seems that digging for victory may not have won the war but it raised morale and gave some people a lifelong interest in gardening. A raffle was held to end the evening.

ADDERBURY XMAS MARKET Our huge thanks go to everyone who helped us make the Adderbury Xmas Market a successful event again in December. See photographs on Page 2. We have many amazing people to say thank you to: Terry Andrews at Bag n’ Boxes, for supplying us with cups and plates; Tim Turner, the Town Crier, and to Santa and gorgeous elves who worked in the grotto; Sir Peter and Lady Job who eased the parking with use of their driveway; the musicians and Sheena who played for us; all the many additional volunteers who help us set up, move pews and tables, individuals and people from Friday Club, the fit young men and slightly older men too, and our regular helpers who always support us on the day especially a big thank you to Martin Rye. Thank you to Janet and the library for allowing us to serve refreshments earlier, and thank you to Hils for working all day in refreshments. An enormously special thanks go to Trade Secret for purchasing and storing the tables for us, and to Jamie Briggs Removals who were able to transport them for us. Then, lastly, thanks to Contact, Guardian, and adderbury.org with advertising. And thank you to everyone who supported us coming to the Market and made it a popular annual village community event. We made just over £1600, and have chosen to donate £1000 to Katharine House Hospice, £300 to FOSMA, £200 to Party in the Park event for the community, and £100 to FOCAL. PS. Early Diary Date: AXM on Saturday 2nd December 2017. Adderbury Xmas Market Committee _____________________________________

EVERGREENS Happy New Year! Welcome to all our members for the year 2017. We would like to see new visitors come along to our club and join us for one of our meetings. You would be made very welcome. Our Christmas outing to Cheltenham went very well although slightly disappointing as we were a bit too early for the Christmas Market. On 14 December our usual carol service was held in the chapel. Our thanks go to all the people who made it possible. On 28 December we held our meeting at the Coach and Horses which everyone enjoyed. A lovely fire, beautifully decorated pub and a lovely buffet tea. Our thanks to Tony and his helpers. Our next meeting is on 8 February at 2.30 at the Methodist Hall. Dot Hardy, Chairman

AN ACTION PACKED NEW YEAR FOR ADDERBURY SCOUTS At Adderbury scouts we continued to have fun activities during the holidays. At the end of the year we went indoor karting at Mr Karting near Leamington. We all had a great time whizzing round the difficult circuit, especially the parents, who were very competitive. Everyone waited in great anticipation at the end to find who had the best time round the track. The adults thought they had definitely got the win in the bag but unexpectedly Henry Taylor the Panther’s Patrol leader was announced winner with a time of 22.34 seconds. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves most of all the new scouts who had never been karting before. After the Christmas break we started our fitness challenge badge, part of the Chief Scouts Gold award. Throughout this four week process we had to record what we had to eaten every day. We also had to set ourselves a challenge where we would do a sporting activity that could be timed or counted and we had to look to improve our performance by the end of the four week process. We would do this by getting fitter e.g. more sport and eating healthier food. We are looking forward to some great events in the Scout calendar like outdoor karting and the district swimming competition. If you are 10 years old or over and you would like to join Adderbury Scouts, you can go onto our website (www.adderburyscouts.com) where at the bottom of our home page there is more information about joining.

I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS The Voices Across Time team have done it again. Their second production, the first being Singing for the Somme, proved equally inventive, nostalgic and extremely enjoyable. The audience was taken into the Second World War community shelter alongside the performers as the action ensued along the centre of the Institute. Once again we were treated to to the fine singing and acting of the talented cast, it would be unfair to pick out individuals from the twelve actors as each gave excellent performances. We were even allowed, sorry encouraged, to join in with some of the most popular numbers. Joseph Cummings on piano being ably assisted by the 7-piece band upstairs. The action took us through the the worries of the disparate Adderbury population during a possible air raid, to the American inclusion in village life with a debonair GI and the harmonious ‘Andrews Sisters’. Resilience held firm and the show finished with an impromptu Nativity play. The whole production was extremely well thought through with the creative storyline provided by Joseph Cummings and Florence Taylor. Thank you again to the production team of Florence, Joseph and Harriet. We are looking forward to the next one when more than one performance will surely again be demanded. See photograph of the cast on the front page. Gayna Lee

Voices Across Time want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported and came to this event and they are already looking to the next production so watch this space!

WILD FLOWERS AT THE RISE Winter came to our wild flower area after the heavy morning frost on Thursday 1 December leaving frosted blooms, stilled blossoms with greenery and a few tender flowers gamely still in bloom, in particular a few bright blue cornflowers and some delicate corncockle heads. Beauty captured by frost held sway for another week or so by which time decay was all too obvious with browned and browning stems bending earthwards. Hopefully a few more seeds will settle down to bloom next year and remaining plant material will be of use to resident and passing wildlife. We look forward with great anticipation to a bright and blooming wild flower area for 2017. Keep up-to-date with Wild Flowers at The Rise Adderbury on Facebook via their search engine and on the Adderbury Parish Council website. Adderbury Parish Council ____________________________________

MILTON ROAD LEISURE FACILITIES In the recent leisure consultation for the Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan (ANP), the land on Milton Road, recently acquired by the Parish Council, received most support for sports pitches and a community building, which would also include changing facilities associated with the sports uses. As a result of this, the Parish Council invites any groups in the village who would potentially be interested in using these facilities, to contact the Clerk detailing their ideas for its use. It would also be helpful to establish whether your group would be willing to help with the planning of these facilities and any fundraising which might be required. If you are interested in putting forward any proposals, please put them in writing to Theresa Goss, Clerk to the Parish Council either by email at adderburypc@hotmail.com or post to 3 Tanners Close, Middleton Cheney, Banbury, OX17 2GD. The deadline is Friday 24 February 2017. Adderbury Parish Council ____________________________________

ADDERBURY XMAS MARKET COMMITTEE We are a small friendly bunch of volunteers who run the Christmas Market in the village and we have had 2 people leave us due to illness and moving away. Is there anyone at the school gates with a friend and asks ‘why don’t we join the Christmas Market Committee?’ Or are you new to the village and would like to join us? It’s only a few meetings a year and a busy fun day on the Market day. Give a call to Gill at 01295 810233 for some details if you are interested.

ST MARY’S CHURCH BELLRINGERS WWI MEMORIES AT CHRISTMAS You may have noticed the joyful sound of the bells ringing at St Mary's church over the Christmas period, both on Christmas Day itself and during the New Year weekend. They also rang half muffled on Boxing Day to mark the centenary of the death of Sgt William Frank Wilton, an Adderbury man who died during the first world war and is named on the war memorial in the church. The ringers rang a Quarter Peal of St Martin's and Plain Bob Doubles on five of the heavy bells which gave a suitably mournful tribute to this veteran. This Quarter Peal was one of the series being rung to commemorate those listed on the war memorial who died during the first world war. Eleven more are due to be rung this year, on the 100th anniversaries of the death of each of those listed. If you would like to know more about this, or may be interested in seeing whether bellringing would interest you (we are always looking for new recruits, full training given and the chance to join an active and sociable village group), then do contact us on 01295 811773, or come along to the church tower on any Tuesday evening at about 7.45pm where you will be made most welcome.

Happy New Year to everyone from FOSMA. Thank you so much for all your support over Christmas. The wonderful concert with the Cathedral Singers of Christ Church Oxford raised over £1000 and we were delighted that we sold out of Christmas cards! It was lovely to be part of the Christmas Tree Festival for the first time and we look back over 2016 as a successful and enjoyable year. Now we look forward to 2017 and are busy planning our year of events. We are delighted to have covered the cost of the refurbishment of the second south window in Church and it looks as if we will be setting our sights on helping to fund the refurbishments needed to the tower which will not come cheap! As always we will keep you informed as and when events are planned and look forward to your continued support and enjoyment of FOSMA events. To become a friend please contact Trish on 01295 811059. Trish Fennell, Chairman _________________________________

DO WE WANT TO KEEP ADDERBURY STORES IN THE VILLAGE? When did you last go into our village shop? Bee kept the shop open all over the holiday period but he had few customers. In fact, he says trade has been exceedingly slow in 2016. So is it important for us to have a village store? In an article in the Independent by Mark Rowe as far back as 2000, it was stated: “Rescue plan for struggling village shops: The closure of rural shops brings with it a substantial financial burden. A recent report showed that the demise of the last store in a village costs the local population around £50,000 a year in lost trade and higher travel costs, even in a settlement of 1,000 people or fewer.” There are other aspects to consider. On a purely selfish level, estate agents advise that villages with at least one shop are considered more desirable places to live so our houses will sell easier. Village shops help to create informal social support networks and if people use them daily or weekly they get to know their neighbours. This is especially important for more vulnerable groups such as the elderly, those caring for children or relatives and those living alone. Recognising neighbours and having the opportunity to interact helps develop a sense of belonging and safety. Most people will walk to a village shop that is 10 to 15 minutes away. For many people this is the daily exercise needed for a healthy lifestyle. So we might think, we can still drive, we’re not in the elderly bracket yet, we don’t need the shop at the moment. But the village shop provides a service we might all want to use one day. I am guilty of not using the village shop enough too in the past, but I will also be in the group of people complaining if it closes. So before that happens, I’m going to do my best to use it or else we could lose it. Gill Randall 31 31

We enjoyed a lively WI stall at St. Mary’s Church Christmas Market at the end of November followed by the Christmas Tree Festival tree dressing activities on Thursday 1 December which all attending members much enjoyed and, of course, all members take great delight in the design and execution of new tree decorations. Our December social event meeting was held at the Cartwright Arms Hotel where we enjoyed a festive meal and much friendly conversation following on from the business matters section presided over by our President, Diane Danton, to whom a bouquet of flowers was given for her great organising skills and tireless energy. A final Committee meeting on 15 December was followed by our first meeting of 2017 at The Institute on 5 January at 7.30pm at which our guest speaker Julia Miles gave her presentation “Ragbag and Cocktail” which proved to be a most charming and highly amusing entertainment. Julia brought along copies of her book - “The Ambassador’s Wife’s Tale” which pleased many members.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY At the December Club Night, member Gail Girvan gave a presentation entitled, "From the Shadows into Colour: Pastels to Camera." Gail's journey through the graphic arts began early, and by the age of 12 she was selling her pencil sketches in cafĂŠs, garden centres and small stationery shops. Her graphic art skills continued to develop into her adult life and Gail was able to sell her pastels whilst living in the Middle East, where women are restricted in their work options and earning abilities. On returning to the UK, her artistic talents continued to flourish, merging with her developing photographic imaging skills. Gail then showed a series of vibrant, colourful abstract works which combined her photographic and artistic talents, displaying great imagination. In part two, "Pastels to Camera," Gail reviewed her recent photographic work, influenced by her early graphic arts background. Her collection of pictures included stunning seasonal landscapes taken in the UK and Namibia, progressing to her recently developing interests in wildlife. Particularly outstanding were her photographs of deer in the early morning mists, and the subtle Autumn colour palette of British woodlands. A full range of her displayed work included greeting cards, notelets and large imposing canvas prints. Her work was greatly admired by her fellow club members, and the applause indicated the appreciation of her interesting talk. In January, the Society's first Club Night of the year started with a Members' Evening, entitled "My three best images of 2016," whereby members had been invited to say why they had selected the subject, where it was taken, and what had been learned from taking it. A wide range of images was shown on many diverse subjects. As you would expect, the spread of styles was comprehensive, varying from close-up macro shots, portraits and wildlife, to broad landscapes. The subjects covered a wide range of geographic locations, treating fellow members to an enjoyable display. In addition to speaking on their own pictures, members were invited to add their comments and observations. This gave a mixture of constructive points and friendly banter, resulting in a very enjoyable evening. The Society's next two Club Nights are on 1 February, when member Paul Brewerton will give a presentation on "A short journey through Alaska and the Yukon", and on 1 March, when John Credland ARPS will present "intensity in ten cities". The Workshop on 15 February will be on "Basic Windows Computing for Photographers," and on 15 March it will be on "Table top photography". All meetings start at 7.30pm, and are held in the Cartwright Hotel, Aynho. Everyone is most welcome to attend, just come along and meet us all. Paul Brewerton www.addphoto.co.uk
