BARTHOLOMEW SCHOOL has received quite a number of responses to the call for a new Community Governor - sadly more offers than there are vacancies! Many thanks to all who expressed an interest.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Eynsham Youth Centre urgently needs staff & volunteers: please call Lynne Chapman 07919 216979 or email.
“As part of our aim to improve the quality of life for the community, the NAG are currently looking at providing facilities that recent surveys tell us are needed in local youth centres. The surveys were done by the youth members of the NAG, that is Jenie Keen, her friend Rosie; and Helen Keen, one of our local PCSOs. So we know these are facilities the local youth want, rather what we feel they should have. As always funding is the problem. We hope, among other things, to install e- drop in centres or internet cafes in some youth centres. Will you sponsor a cause that could both help to keep youths off the streets AND promote your company? If you can help with cash or equipment (such as old computers) or in any other way, please contact Helen Keen on 0845 8 505 505 or email.”

A40 CYCLE PATH DIVERSION: west-bound path (south of A40) is closed from Wolvercote roundabout to Cassington Turn for work on Wolvercote Viaduct; use the other path.
