ARCC this weekend

/in News/by Adam Bernstein
As we move to the last two weeks of the league season all of our senior teams are involved in important games this weekend. The first team, who are third in their league, still have a chance of winning the Premier League. All of the other teams are still possibly in relegation danger and yet one win in the last two games will probably see them safe.
This weekend the first team are away at Great Brickhill on Saturday, and the third team travel to our near neighbours Tetsworth. The second team and fourth teams are at home to Horspath and Bicester and North Oxford respectively. The weather forecast is good and your support for the teams would be appreciated.
On Friday we have a special junior night with games on both grounds on Friday evening as well as the usual BBQ and bar. Next Friday is the junior presentation night which is always a special night.
Another special night will be on September 14 and our annual ball. Details of this and all events are on the club web site, astonrowantcricket.co.uk

Riverside outdoor pool and splashpad

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

A note from SODC:

There is great news for children and families looking to cool down in the summer sunshine before the end of the school holidays.

GLL, which manage the outdoor pool and splash pad on behalf of South Oxfordshire District Council, has agreed to an extension to the opening season this year. The Riverside outdoor pool and splash pad in Wallingford will now stay open a week later than anticipated.

The pool and splash pad would usually close on 1 September. Taking into account the predicted good weather and timing with schools returning, the plan is now to extend the opening until Sunday 8 September to allow everyone more time to make the most of these popular facilities.

This weekend, as well as the usual junior training, and BBQ on Friday, and two games on Saturday, we also have Sunday afternoon cricket to enjoy.
On Saturday, the first team visit Henley which is one of the highlights of the season. Both teams are near the top of the Home Counties Premier League so it should be a great game of cricket.
The second and third teams are at home to Banbury second team and Brackley first team respectively. The fourth team take the short journey to Garsington. Both games start at 12.30.
On Sunday, we have Sydenham playing host to Brentham, starting at 1pm.
Lets hope the good weather  continues.
Finally a date for your diaries – the End of Season Ball on September 14 details to follow.

Need propane gas?

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

The parish has two propane gas bottles that it needs to dispose of and is inviting parishioners to make an offer for them as a pair or singly!

Bottle 1 has a tare (empty) weight of 17.4kg. On scales it weighs 35.4kg so that leaves around 18kg of gas inside.

Bottle 2’s tare weight is 18kg. On scales it weighs 35.6kg so there’s around 17.6kg of gas left in that one.

As a guide, the parish paid £62 each in 2022.

If you’re interested and want to make a sensible offer that helps you with a deal and the parish recoup money on the gas …then email .

Images of the bottles are below.

New play area open

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

We’re pleased to confirm that the Kingston Blount play area was opened on Friday 20th July following two weeks of refurbishment works.

The initial feedback from families who have used the new and improved playground has been incredibly positive and we hope that the facility continues to service and delight local children for years to come.

We are grateful to everyone that has helped us to deliver this phase of the project and we’d like to give particular thanks to Peter Tinson, Cllr. Helen Birks and our chosen supplier – Discovery Timber Play – for making this a reality.

We are currently working to finalising some small finishing touches and we also hope to provide an update on the delivery of the zip wire and picnic bench seating soon.

Thank you to you all for your support and your patience during this process.
