Depending on the situation with Covid 19 we are going to celebrate VJ Day on Saturday 15 August to remember the final day of World War II. It is anticipated to put on an exhibition entitled 'Forgotten crafts'. The reasoning behind this is that those fighting the Japanese in Burma etc were known as the 'Forgotten Army' so it will be a reminder of those brave men. Timed slots will be available between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.To book your place please contact Diane Blackett on 01367-860504 or e mail: r.d.blackett@hotmail.co.uk. Keep safe.

BUS ROUTE WHILE ROAD WORKS ARE ON GOING
The Parish Council are negotiating with Pulhams as to why the 64 bus is not stopping in Filkins currently.
We have been told that they are not aware that they can come off A361 and drive through the village and re join - although 2 buses a day which serve Burford School already do this.
We are doing everything we can to get this reinstated as soon as possible.
The Villager bus service will continue to run on Wednesday – timings as below
Outbound (timings approximate) Return (timings approximate) Filkins 9.40
Carterton 9.55
Arrive Witney 10.15
Witney 12.05
Carterton 12.25
Filkins 12.40
The Parish Council hope to have the 64 service restored as soon as possible
