Charlbury MoW Team Cooks and Delivers Christmas Lunch
On Tuesday a team of Charlbury volunteers prepared and delivered Christmas lunch as part of Meals on Wheels (MoW). Over the past 10 years alone, MoW has delivered more than 14,000 meals to residents of Charlbury, Chadlington, and Stonesfield, with continuous service throughout the pandemic. MoW volunteers have served the Charlbury area for nearly 70 years.
MoW works cooperatively to deliver meals once per week to our senior residents many of whom volunteered for MoW in their younger years. Meals cost £4 each. Special thanks to the lunch team of Susan, Jules, Marianne, Chris, Wendy, Liz, Graham, Brian, Shelagh, Annie, Tonya, Peter, Diana, Tony, Bridgid, David, Jim and Ali. We could use help with cooking once per month on a Tuesday morning. Please contact mglasgow@theridgegroup.com for more information.

Free bulbs
The Garden Society has not been able to plant all the bulbs we wanted to this winter. Please come and help yourself to a bag full; plant up (in a pot or border). Planted in a pot they’d make a nice Christmas present too! They’ll be by the door of the Christmas Market at the Memorial Hall. See you there.
