A note from the cricket club:

“It’s a busy two weeks for the cricket club – a huge cup game on Sunday after league cricket on Saturday and then next weekend there’s the Rowachella beer festival.

In more detail, on Saturday we have a double header against Banbury. The first team are away at Banbury and the second team is at home starting at 12.30pm. Also on Saturday we have the third team at home to Bledlow Village second team again at 12.30. The bar will be open at 3pm.

Sunday is the biggest game for a number of years, we have Sunbury at home in the last 16 of the National Knockout Cup – the game starts at 1pm  and the bar opens at 12.30. It should be a fantastic day, the weather forecast is good let’s make it a day to remember.

Then next weekend we have the return of the Annual Beer Festival, tickets remain on sale but are selling fast.

Please look at our web site astonrowantcc.com for more details.”

Please see attached poster for programme of guided local walks run by Thame & Wheatley Ramblers during Jul, Aug, Sept.

From 24 July Carousel will no longer be running the No.40 bus route…

…however, Red Rose Travel has agreed to provide a replacement commercial service on this route.

Whilst the Monday to Saturday daytime frequency is the same, there are changes to times throughout and regretfully due to particularly low patronage this route will no longer serve Towersey.

Due to significantly increased costs, the evening and Sunday service on this route (which is funded by both Oxfordshire County Council and Buckinghamshire Council) has had to be reduced. On Monday to Saturday evenings, journeys will now depart from Thame at 2010 and from High Wycombe at 1910 and 2110. There will be four through journeys on Sundays fitted around main shopping hours in High Wycombe, with an additional journey in each direction between Stokenchurch and Thame – use of these particular journeys will be kept under review.

Intalink Explorer day tickets, which allow through travel between service 40 and services X20/280 to Oxford and/or Aylesbury (as well as on many other services in Buckinghamshire), are issued/accepted on this service and are priced at £9 for adults, £5 for children and £17 for a group of up to four people.

Below is the new timetable.

The parish council’s 2021/22 accounts have been sent to auditor for sign-off.

Please see attachments below for details; more information is on the Accounts page, under Parish Council > Accounts.

The Public Rights of Inspection for 30 working days start from Monday 27 June – see below.

Congratulations to Karl Penhale and the first team who qualified for the National Cup last 16 with a 6 wicket win over Richmond on Sunday. Their reward is a home game against Sunbury on Sunday July 10th^. Please make a note of this, all support will be gratefully accepted –  to be one of the last 16 teams in the country is a great achievement.

Also Sunday 26th June we are privileged to host the County Team as Oxfordshire play Lincolnshire  on Top Pitch starting at 1pm bar open from 12.30pm.
