Again some software problems means this is later than I had planned. Will do better next month after I have consulted with the IT support team. This month we are back to 48 pages. The front cover shows the youngest ‘picker’ at the Village Spring Clean. We hope to see Harriettaking part for many years to come. There is also a report and group photo on page 47 too. Spring means group AGMs, and we have reports or notices from Friends of Island Pond Wood (FIPW) on page 36, and Launton Community Communications Group on page 42. On page 6 is a notice for the April Open Meeting of Friends of Launton Parish Hall (FoLPH), and pages 24-25 have an update on work on the new roof for the Hall - with seven photos. There is advance notice of the AGM for the village on page 30 with notice of the Annual Parish Meeting on 17 April.
There are, sadly, two obituary notices this month: pages 27-29 cover the long and exciting life of Iris Burden, who lived in AncilAvenue for many years, and pages 14-15 are for Mark Williams, chair of the School PTA in 2018-19. The school reports on World Book Dayon page 20 from Year 4 children. Spring features in this month’s Recipe (page 23) and Craft project on page 26, and page 31 has a photoof Magnolia blossoms on Bicester Road. Launton Ladies football team feature on pages 40-41 visiting Langford View Care Home - sponsors of their new shirts.
CalumMiller, our MP, reports on page 7, and the Parish Council (pages 4-6) and District Councillors (page 8) report back. There are also reports from the Over 60’s(page 19), The Village Players (pages 32-33), from the TytheBarn Quiz on pages 2 and 22, and from the WIon pages 12-13. Please support our advertisers: we need them to keep Launton Lines going.

Parish Hall
The long-awaited roof replacement should be starting in late March and is expected to take 2-3 weeks. [Update: scaffolding was erected and materials delivered between 18 and 21 March; work started on 25 March.] During the works the Hall will be unavailable for use during the day on weekdays, but should remain available in the evenings and at weekends. As the Hall will be an active building site, users should take appropriate care when arriving and departing. The broadbandinstallation by Gigaclearhas been postponed until the roof replacement has been completed.
Highway and Traffic Issues
The open-top Mercedesthat was abandoned on Bicester Road, then moved to The Glades during the pothole-filling works on Bicester Road, is being dealt with by Cherwell District Council. Unfortunatelythere is a lengthy legal process that must be followed before the vehicle can be removed; please be patient.
Village Spring Clean
Thank you to all who came to help with the annual Spring Clean on15 March - with no permanent Clerk, publicity had not been up to the usual standard but nonetheless a healthy crop of volunteers turned out and managed to cover the whole village between them. Special thanks go to the WI, whose plentiful and delicious cakes, along with tea and coffee, provided welcome refreshment for the volunteers.
Annual Parish Meeting - 17 April
The village Annual Parish Meeting will be on Thursday 17 April at 7.30pm
Reporting from CalumMiller, our MP
After more than nine months as your MP for Bicester and Woodstock, I am glad to share what I have been working to achieve for our area and to let you know how you can get in touch with my team and me if we can help you in any way.
Representing you is a privilege, and I have raised key local issues at every opportunity. In December, I led a parliamentary debate on the London Road crossing, securing a response from a transport minister. Many residents oppose its closure, and I believe an underpass for light vehicles and pedestrians is a viable solution. I am pressing East West Rail and the Rail Minister to ensure Bicester is not cut in two.
I have been pressing ministers across government on key local issues. I secured a meeting with the Health Secretary to push for capital funding for GP surgeries, challenged the Prime Minister on reducing long CAMHSwaiting times, and questioned the Energy and Net Zero Department on frequent power outages affecting our towns and villages. I have also continued to push for stronger action on water pollution, holding water companies accountable for sewage discharges in our rivers and streams.
InParliament,Ihavebeenworkingtoensurethatvitallocalissuesare addressed.Witheconomicchallenges,overstretchedpublicservices,and risingcosts,Ibelieveinworkingacrosspartiestofindsolutions.Ihave pushedforurgentactiononthesocialcarecrisisratherthandelayingfor years,andchallengedpoliciesthatcouldharmourcommunities,including cutstoWinterFuelPayments,taxincreasesonsmallbusinessesand charities,andchangesthatthreatenfamily-runfarms.
It has been a pleasure to visit so many events across the constituency and meet residents who are passionate about making a difference. From supporting local campaigners cleaning up our waterways to visiting businesses and charities, I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing more about our exciting and vibrant constituency and I look forward to continuing to engage with more residents across the constituency.
I remain committed to ensuring Bicester, Kidlington, Woodstock, and our villages get the attention and investment they need and deserve. If you would like to raise an issue or need assistance, please emailme at calum.miller.mp@parliament.uk

Launton WIReporting …
March brought Launton WI’sAnnual Meeting, which was preceded by a brisk monthly meeting, before we got down to the real business. It all proceeded smoothly and easily. All the Committee members were happy to continue (apart from Isobel, who unfortunately has had to stand down) and were re-elected. Eleanor, our President, was also prepared to serve again and, under the supervision of Beryl Mann, our WIAdvisor, was duly re-elected. In her President’sReport, she gave a brief history of the WIand some of the successful campaigns the organisation has undertaken. The overall Competition winners were announced - 1st Eleanor, 2ndPat and 3rdGaye- each receiving the prize of a lovely plant. We rounded the evening off with an entertaining quiz.

January saw us meeting Mozartamongst rambles in the Alps - an interesting and informative talk.
February’s speaker had to pull out but we enjoyed a last-minute replacement hearing about work behind the scenes at the BBC.
The March Annual Meeting saw a change of President as the then President decided to stand down. We also increased our committee by three members - a huge achievement which is working well.
April’s birthday meeting went as planned and the Resolutions meeting in May was led by a very well-informed member and the Dentistry motion was carried almost unanimously.
June’s speaker gave us insightsinto a Wedding in Delhi and the literary and historical information on the MitfordSisters was a treat in July.
Our summer BBQin August would have been better with less rain but everyone had a great time in spite of it. This has become a summer favourite with our members.
We were disappointed that SkyWaveGin could not come in September but had a great talk with interesting comments from a poet using her own life problems to promote a lighter side to life.
dresses, knitted my jumpers, grew vegetables and fruit, did the decorating and the cooking. Whenever we went out there were always sandwiches and thermoses of tea to hand. If my father was driving, she would be knitting. She did not like silence at the table and would always fill any silence with stories, and she had a great many to tell. At Heatherwood, her high standards and eagle eye made her feared by the student nurses but she had great friends with nurses right through from the days of her training and travels and at Heatherwoodand the Langstonwhich she kept throughout her life, but she has outlived nearly all.
Sheretiredat65,whichcoincidedwiththetimewhenIwasdisabledbya backinjury,mostlylyingonmybackdoinganaccountancyqualification. I said to her, “You always wanted to run a nursing home - how about we use the money I saved when working overseas to buy a home and you run the home and I do the accounts?” So, we found The Langston in Kingham.Initially she was Registered Manager from 1985 to 1993 when we added the nursing wing. She carried on nursing full-time until 1999.
At home she would cater for events including her own Ruby and Golden Wedding anniversaries. Sadly, my father’shealth deteriorated so Iris had a couple of years caring for him until he died when she was 89. I then persuaded her to sell up and move near me. Very fortunately, she chose a bungalow in AncilAvenue in Launton.
Iris was never one to sit still and feel sorry for herself she joined the Over 60’sClub, The WIand the Sports & Social Club and attended St Mary’schurch. She also caught the bus into Bicester once a week for another club and the library up to the age of 99. I shall ever be grateful to the kindness of the people of Launton who made her so welcome. She celebrated her 100th birthday at home in Launton and let someone else do the catering. Not long after that she came to St. Luke’sin Oxford where I work. She had very poor lung capacity, but survived more winters at St. Luke’sand lived through a Covidinfection despite refusing the vaccine. Perhaps she had some resistance from the previous pandemic in 1920. She was able until the last couple of years to continue with what was probably her only hobby involving relaxation -

The Annual General Meeting of Friends of Island Pond Wood was held on Thursday 20 March in the Parish Hall. The annual report was presented to 26 members informing them of the activities in the woodland throughout 2024. This culminated in the September event that celebrated, early, the 25th anniversary of the planting of 3,000 trees in December 1999.
The major project of installing a second wildlife pond and thinning a significant section of the woodland has been completed. This project was supported by a grant from Trust for Oxfordshire’sEnvironment with funding from GrundonWaste Management Ltdthrough the LandfillCommunities Fund. The woodland was thinned by AlchesterTree & Garden Services and the pond was dug and fenced by TimJenkins.
Maintenance of the woodland as it continues to grow requires an increasing commitment from our volunteers. Midweek volunteer sessions are held each month, recently supported again by Bicester Green Gym, along with occasional weekend sessions that allow a wider group of members to participate in the upkeep of the woodland.
The major projects that we complete are grant funded and they nearly always expect a capital project to be delivered, such as a new pond or scrape. That means the maintenance of the wood relies on membership fees and donations. If you use the wood for recreation, walking your dog, or to support our biodiversity objectives please consider becoming a member for £10 per person per year. All our income is spent on developing the wood for the benefit of local residents.
Following the closing of the AGM our guest speaker, Bob Roberts, gave a short presentation of how the woodland evolved from an open field at risk of becoming a housing development to the wonderful woodland that it is today. How Launton Environmental Group (LEG) negotiated with Laingsfor The Woodland Trust to acquire the land with financial support from many villagers. LEG managed the woodland for several years before FIPWwas formed to specifically manage the woodland in 2011. This evolved into the Friends of Island Pond Ltd. taking a 25 year lease on the woodland from The Woodland Trust in 2014 after 3 years of negotiating relatively minor points. We thank all those volunteers who join work sessions and assist with the running of our events. If you would like to join our groups or attend an event please monitor Launton Lines and our social media pages. We look forward to seeing you in the wood throughout the year. FIPWTeam
Santorini- then and now
On Tuesday 4 February this year a severe earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea south of Greece. The earthquakes have continued and become more severe. This is an area subject to earthquakes, due to tectonic plate movement, but in Santoriniit was so severe that soon about 14,000 of the 15,000 inhabitants got out and most of them went to mainland Greece. Soon some earthquakes also occurred in Athens. Santoriniconsists of a large crescent shaped island, named Thera, a smaller one named Therasiaand a small central one named NeaKameniwhich is slowly growing through volcanic activity.
This brings to mind an event that occurred some three and a half thousand years ago. Santoriniwas at that time a circular fertile island surrounded by smaller islands. A volcanic eruption occurred that was so massive that it must have sent clouds of debris into the upper atmosphere which would have darkened the skies over a large area for some time. A huge tsunami wave would have done immense damage to much of the eastern Mediterranean and a thick layer of volcanic ash would have covered the same area and destroyed the agriculture of a highly populated bronze age civilisation. It is interesting to compare this with a more recent event, the eruption of Krakatoain 1893. Krakatoalies between Java and Sumatraand the same sort of effects occurred, volcanic ash deposited and tsunami waves that travelled as far away as Japan. But it is estimated that the Santorinieruption was at least three times as powerful as Krakatoa!
Excavations at Santorinihave revealed the remains of a sophisticated bronze age civilisation but, unlike Pompeii, no bodies have been found. It is likely that there would have been earthquakes gradually increasing in ferocity for 20 or 30 years before the final eruption and the inhabitants would have heeded the warnings and escaped. The remains that have been found are similar to those found at Knossosin Crete by Sir ArthurEvans.He named the civilisation that he found the ‘Minoans’, after King Minos.It seems that they traded with the Egyptians, who called the island ‘Keftiu’. While Egyptian art was stylised and conformed to the priests’ rules, showing things like Pharoah beating the living daylights out of his enemies, Minoanart was about the good life; excavations by Sir ArthurEvanshave revealed beautiful murals showing Cretan irises, dolphins, and birds. In the last few years, evidence has been piling up which suggests that the Minoancivilisation on Santoriniand Crete is probably the source of the legend of Atlantiswhich, according to Plato, disappeared in ‘a night and a day’. Surely such a massive event would have lived on in folk memory.
An expert vulcanologist, whose name I can’tremember, investigated
Santorinisome years ago and concluded that this vast eruption had probably happened four times in the last hundred thousand years. An island, Nea Kameni, in the middle of the caldera, is slowly growing and over the next twenty thousand years or so will become a fertile island like it did before - and then another massive eruption may occur again.
But will there be any people there to witness it? If global warming continues it is possible that there will be nobody here when it happens, especially when we have idiots in charge like Trump and Putin.Trump doesn’tbelieve in global warming and seems set on accelerating it by drilling more oil wells; he said, “Drill, baby, drill”. Perhaps he thinks that the wildfiresin California and blizzards in Texas are myths spread by Democrats. Putinhas been selling large amounts of gas and oil to Europe, which has been funding his war in Ukraine. For many years scientists have been warning us that if we are to avoid the worst effects of global warming then we must dramatically reduce our consumption of fossil fuels and stop worldwide deforestation. But no government seems to be taking any notice.

LauntonParishHallCommunityConsultation
The recent consultation produced 139 responses (76 online, 63 on paper), which is encouraging for a survey of this type. Only very preliminary analysis has been performed so far, and much more work is needed to extract all the useful information, but we can say a few things:
all the questions about how important things were got average scores between 4.1 and 4.7;
the central location and on-site parking were the most valued characteristics;
improving the kitchen was the most popular further improvement, followed by Internet/WiFiand a data projector with screen;
42% of respondents only use the Hall occasionally, but 30% use it weekly.
A fuller report will be published when further analysis has been done, and at a whole-village presentation later in the year - currently planned for 31 May in the Parish Hall.
Memories of an ex-Launton boy
My great grandson has just had his second birthday and in keeping with the way of things today, he received an array of birthday presents with which he was somewhat overwhelmed. My goodness, how very different to when I was just a nipper!
It was most fascinating watching him trying to make up his mind which new toy to play with, as each new present was opened to reveal even more choice. But the thing that really fascinated me perhaps the most was the array of new clothes that were included; not just clothesbut clothes with ‘labels’, if you see what I mean. Most, on the face of it, were beautifully and colourfully designed and must have cost a bob or two. And then I thought, at the rate of knots he’sgrowing, he won’tbe in them for five minutes before he has grown out of them. So what is the point of purchasing ‘labels’ for his age?
Holding on to that thought, I was very much reminded of my own childhood regarding clothing. My parents, back then, hardly had two brass farthings to rub together, so there was relatively little of buying clothes for us at all in the very early years.
My cousin Eddie(Johnson) on my dad’sside of the family was a year or two older than me and lived in Headington.Eddiewas older, and a little larger than me so, when he grew out of his clothes, they were generally handed down to me. As often as not, they would be slightly too big for me, but then the age-old adage came into play; “He’llgrow into it”. In the meantime, I felt a bit of a Wally in clothes too big for me. I gradually grew into them and ultimately out of them, and they were handed down to my brother Cliff. I don’tthink they were ever handed down from Cliff, because he was so rough and tumble as a kid so by the time he had finished with them they were hardly fit to be handed on.
That whole process demonstrated that back then clothes were so very well made, they were meant to last. These days, clothes have at least two builtin failures: first by virtue of the materials used and the finish, they are not going to stand up to heavy wear and tear; second because in the fashionconscious time, they will be ‘wouldn’tbe seen dead in’ by next season.
But of course, it is not just clothes that are subject to this modern ‘throwaway’ society. For example, as a young apprenticed carpenter back in the early 60’s, I was taught ‘saw-doctoring - how to sharpen a range of saws. These days that is unnecessary as the handsaws we use now have such
sharp and brittle teeth, they are prone to teeth breaking off during the doctoring process, thus rendering them useless. So today, once a handsaw becomes blunted through use, it is simply thrown away and another is purchased to replace it.
On a matter unrelated to saws, but nonetheless of significant concern when making comparisons between now and back then when I was growing up in Launton, is this experience.
Just last week, a fellow veteran died after a very short illness. No name, no pack-drill, but I was advised as Welfare Officer of the MedwayBranch of the Royal Engineers Association that a couple of weeks before he was rushed to a London hospital with a split in his aorta. While undergoing an operation to repair his aorta, he suffered a massive stroke. As soon as I heard this, I tried to contact his wife by phone over several days, but without success. So I took it upon myself to go and knock on the door of one of her neighbours, asking if they knew the whereabouts of my pal’s wife since he had been in hospital (for a fortnight). Surprisingly, she had no idea that he was in hospital in the first place, and although being very pleasant, was of no help at all. So I went to the neighbour to the other side, and she too had no idea that he was in hospital.
WhatIamdrivingathereisthatbackinthedaywhenIwasgrowingupin Launton,ifsomeonehadnotbeenseenforawholeday,peoplewould comeknockingonthedoortocheckthateverythingandeveryonewas alright.Thiswassomethingmymum,beinga‘townie’fromSutton Coldfieldthoughtofasbeing‘nosey’,untildadexplainedtoherthatthis waswhatvillagelifewasabout-caringforandwatchingoutforeachother. That said, with so many housing estates having been built up over the years since in Launton, I somehow doubt that that same ethos has been continued throughout into today. I can’thelp thinking the village has grown to be too big to be the very close-knit community it once was. I’d like someone to prove me wrong.
So, here’smy message for the month; Be alert, look out for each other, don’tgo wasting money on expensive and totally unnecessary ‘labels’ and if not handing down directly, think about recycling rather than just simply chucking something away. Let’smake this “The Preservation Society”. Now that sounds like a good song for a film! Can you guess which one? Keep healthy and stay SAFE!
