Friends of St Mary’s Church Our latest venture has been the concert by ‘The Moonrakers’ on Saturday, 6 October when the group delighted us with a magical performance of Celtic, classical and contemporary music. The beautiful blending of the voices and the wide range of instruments combined to bring out, subtly, the character of each song. The audience, appreciative from the start, grew steadily more enthusiastic and an encore was received cheerful applause. Altogether a happy evening. Many thanks to the group. We hope they will come again. Following on from our Mad Hatter’s Teaparty in August, we are pleased to report that the sum raised was £486, and we should like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of what was a cheerful and happy day - the volunteers who set up the various pastimes, the ladies who baked and served, almost non-stop, the sumptuous teas (not forgetting the stalwart who served the Pimms!), Kirsty and Giles for providing the setting and all their support. Most of all our gratitude is due to the Chippy public who, apart from contributing generously financially, appreciated not just the fun and games but a relaxed atmosphere in one of the most beautiful gardens in Chipping Norton. Money raised will go towards the preservation of St Mary’s Church fabric. We have been asked to do something similar next year. Two future events are planned, both in the church. The first, on Friday 14 December 2012, will be a performance by Wychwood Chorale, starting in the early evening, and will be aimed at a family audience. We hope you will add it to your Christmas festivities. A performance by Fairport Convention, to be held on 25 May 2013, will appeal to all ages. Do come along to both events. For those of you who are a bit vague as to what ‘The Friends’ do, we aim to raise funds specifically for preserving and restoring the Church fabric.

Editor. On Thursday 27th September 2012 Chipping Norton & District Branch of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association hosted a Cheese and Wine Tasting Evening at the Upper Town Hall, Chipping Norton. Cheeses were supplied by Churchill based artisan cheese maker Roger Crudge who provided seven superb cheeses from his range which were accompanied by excellent English wines from Brightwell Vineyard, Wallingford. Roger provided a running commentary on his cheeses as well as a number of amusing anecdotes which kept everyone entertained as well as being informative on the art of cheese making. He also made some cheese from scratch over the course of the evening to demonstrate his skills. Carol Nielsen co-proprietor of Brightwell Vineyard offered seven different wines produced from their vineyard, which I must say were about the best English grown wines I have ever tasted. Carol gave an overview of each wine and an insight into the science and challenges of wine making in an English climate! The event was very successful which was revealed by how many attendees purchased both wines and cheeses at the end of the evening. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to both Roger and Carol for contributing to such a fascinating evening. Our thanks also go out to those who attended this event, we are most grateful for their support. Our next event promises to be a very interesting evening: “An Evening with Philip Mould” the fine art historian as seen on BBC’s Antiques Roadshow from time to time, and who has his own current series “Fake or Fortune”. Friday 02nd November at the Crown & Cushion, High Street, Chipping Norton Tickets are £12.50 per person including buffet and are available from Cicely Maunder [01608 643680] or Richard Anning [01608 641151].
