Wedding in Village - 20th July 1:30pm

12/7/2024

We are having a small family wedding at St Giles’s on Saturday 20th July at 1.30pm.

We wanted to make villagers aware of the increased traffic on that day.

We are bringing most of the guests to the Church by bus and wanted to advise villagers of this as the bus will be taking up some space for a short time that day.

We'd also like access, if possible, for the bus to use The Laurels for turning so that there are no vehicles parked at the end of the road at 1.10 (arrival) and again at 3.00-3.30 (departure).

Many thanks,
Amy and James

Great Coxwell Community Fund

10/7/2024

We have a meeting of the Village Community Fund Group next week. If you have any suggestions, please contact a member of the Committee. Annabelle, Pam, Pauline, Steve & Sylvia.

In the past we have bought new chairs & tables for the Reading Room, a new church carpet, new cutlery & crockery and this year we have had the railings outside repainted and the flower bed replanted.

We have also subsidised the Jubilee & Coronation Events held in the Village.

If you have a new group you would like to start we are happy to help Fund you to get started.

It’s all money you the Village have helped raise, predominantly from The Art weeks Cafe & The Sunday Teas.

The only criteria is that the money must be spent within the Village.

Great Barn - Roof Update

9/7/2024

The National Trust has confirmed that the works to address missing tiles on the Barn roof will commence on Monday 8th July 2024.

The works will take place around the whole of the roof until all missing tiles have been replaced. There will be some scaffolding going up, which will be moved around the building as works progress.

The National Trust plans to do an annual check and replace tiles each summer going forward and invited any queries to the Facilities Manager, Coleshill Estate.

More building work at Stonevale

8/7/2024

The final (!) stage of the Stonevale refurb will hopefully be starting soon (early August was promised), this being the complete replacement of the roof of the original house. I will be talking to neighbours personally about access for scaffolding etc, but as before, please let me know if the work causes any issues for anyone in the village. Again, as before I will request radios be kept off (or quiet) and if there are any disputes with the roofers (I can’t imagine it), please come and find me – I am usually around, or leave a phone message.

Thanks for your patience – we are nearly there! Russ Payne 07968-277059.

Village BBQ on Saturday

2/7/2024

Village Barbecue - this Saturday, 6th July

We have realised, of course, that our barbecue on Saturday clashes with the England game against Switzerland. As a result we are proposing to move the time of the barbecue to 1 o'clock.

If you have already replied to us, can you PLEASE let Maureen, Sylvia or me know whether you wish to come at that time. If you have not yet said you are coming and now would like to, again PLEASE LET US KNOW. As you know, the burgers and sausages are ordered in advance from the butcher and I don't want to have to find room for them in my freezer.

We would still appreciate help in setting up.

Thanks

Next Stonevale Concert at St Giles, Sunday 7th July - Torriano Ensemble

2/7/2024

Dear all,

We are looking forward to the next Stonevale recital at St Giles' Church in Great Coxwell. The Torriano ensemble is a group of local woodwind professionals and the programme includes Mozart's amazing quintet for piano and winds (one of my favourite pieces of music ever) as well as Poulenc and Frost Piano sextets for piano and wind instruments.

We are so lucky to have St Giles Church for the Stonevale Concerts, as the acoustics will once again be spectacular for this selection of instruments.

Please read about this ensemble of professional musicians, and book your tickets on:

https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/stonevalemusic/the-torriano-ensemble/e-ygzmdv

It is possible to reserve seats with me personally and give donations on the day, but I would recommend buying the tickets to guarantee the seats. The proceeds are going to the musicians, and a small percentage will go to the church for the new charity we set up, to replace the roof (£145,000 needed).

Best wishes,
Lynette
