A fond farewell ...
Jean Hayden will be leaving the village on Friday 31 May. Jean moved here with her husband Ted 55 years ago and has lived at 6 Church Row all this time. We think Jean was the village's longest resident ..... so who is it now? Please leave a comment if you know.
Jean, we would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all that you have done for the village over the years and to wish you every happiness in your new home ..... Church Row will not be the same without you!

Parish Boundary Walk
Rogation Sunday 5th May 2013
48 walkers
turned up for our ninth walk to beat the bounds of our Parish! Callum Head
(aged 9 and the youngest available walker) was traditionally bounced three
times at the start on Stepping Stones Bridge. The weather
was perfect for walking which made a welcome change to previous soggy affairs. Wildlife was
in abundance as we walked through beautiful farm land and countryside, usually
off limits to public. Thank you to all landowners involved as without their
kind permission the day wouldn’t have been possible.
The horn was
sounded at all four points of the Parish Boundary. Thanks to David who provided
drinks at the half-way point. It was back
to the Village Hall for much needed refreshments. Badges and ribbons were
presented to all participants including 21 newbies!
For the technophiles, we were tracked by GPS for the first time. We walked 9.45 miles in 4hrs 23mins, average
speed was 2.1 mph, 976 calories used!!
Thanks to:
Farmers and landowners, Bourton Village Hall Committee, Vanessa and David
Swann, Marion and Pat for your help in the kitchen, Mark for your hedge
cutters! And all those who gave raffle prizes. All contributed to a successful
day.
Hope to see you all next year on 25th May 2014,
for our 10th anniversary!

7 pm Village Hall AGM
7.30 pm Parish Council Annual Assembly
Parishioners are warmly invited to the Parish Council Annual Assembly at 7.30 pm on Wednesday, 22 May 2013 in the Village Hall. This is your opportunity to hear what has been happening in the parish over the last year.
In particular, we would like to update you on Swindon's Local Plan and the likely implications for this village and also the Vale's Local Plan which will have quite an impact on development this end of the Vale.
Our two District Councillors, Elaine Ware and Simon Howell, will be attending as will Yvonne Constance, who has just taken over as our new Oxfordshire County Councillor.
As is the usual custom, the Village Hall AGM will take place just prior to the Annual Assembly.
We look forward to seeing you there. Tea and biscuits will be provided!

bumping the youngest child at the start ...
blowing the horn at the easterly point ...
much appreciated refreshments at the half way point ...

Fabulous weather - dry and sunny - no cows or electric fences this year thank goodness! Just the usual ditches and brambles but even then someone had brought some hedge cutters along!
We did 9.45 miles in 4 hours 23 mins. Our average speed was 2.1 mph and - this is the really good bit - we used 976 calories!!!!
A massive thank you to Julie and Stuart Anger for organising another great walk!!!
