VILLAGE DIARY
There are many events happening in Standlake but, unfortunately, clashes happen because one organisation or group is not aware of what others are doing. Furthermore, advertising of events is difficult in a village as dispersed as Standlake and Brighthampton.
A diary on the website would be an ideal point of contact, but the success of such a scheme would depend entirely on the supply of current information by group organisers, secretaries etc. If you are an organiser, or just a member of a group please consider this and contact clerk@standlakepc.org.uk

Standlake WI publish their events on their own page. Please click here or on icon to the right.
St Giles' Church publishes its events in a link to Social Events/Fund Raising/Appeal Fund on its site www.acny.org.uk/6003 - (or click on the Church icon to the left). When other organisations are holding events it would be very helpful if they could look at the Church site to make sure they are not going to clash
Standlake Primary School - Toddler Talk (formerly Stay n Play) - explore books, music & rhymes alongside your little ones - every Wednesday 9.30am-11.30am (term time only)Please contact Jo Bosley on 01865 883942 for further details or visit www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/childrenscentres
