Chairman's Report
 |
Welcome to the Christmas edition of the parish
newsletter. There is an abundance of information in
these few pages which is of interest and is also very
important to all Brize Norton
residents.
The village and country way of life we have enjoyed and expect
appears to be under ever increasing threat from influences from
outside bodies.Education
Oxfordshire County Council is pursuing massive cuts in
expenditure and is proposing a cut in funding for school buses.
Carterton Community College is actively pursuing the possibility
of creating a sixth form to provide education to post 16 year
olds. Bloor Homes at a recent consultation announced the
building of a new Primary School in the “so called” Carterton
East Development. Putting these three factors together will
create a major and possibly unwelcome change in the education
of the children from the village. Will it change the “catchment
area”? Will there be room for two primary schools in close
proximity? First class education for all children must be looked
on as a right; I would urge you all to respond to any
consultations concerning the education of our children. Would
you want your 11 year old to walk from Brize Norton to Carterton
to get to school? |
New housing
We as a village appear to have been under siege with the threat
of more houses on our doorstep for eternity. Not content with
circa 1700 dwellings in Shilton Park, WODC as the planning
authority, seem hell bent on lumping another 700 on our
doorstep. The Save Brize Norton Action Group is fighting a
sterling battle alongside the Parish Council in fending off this
proposed development. Volunteers are needed to carry on with
this battle to conserve and preserve the village and our way of
life. Enclosed with this magazine is a questionnaire designed to
reflect your views as opposed to the very one sided
questionnaire produce by Bloor Homes/Christ Church College.
Please complete the questionnaires as a matter of urgency.
Elections
Thursday the 22 May 2014 is Election Day. On this day there will
be European Elections; does anyone know who our euro MP is?
Alongside these will be elections for our local West Oxford
District councillors, approximately one third of the seats will
be contested including our own ward.
There will also be an election for Brize Norton Parish
Councillors – if there are sufficient candidates. We have seven
parish councillors, there will only be an election if there are
more than seven candidates. If you are interested in becoming a
parish councillor please contact the Parish Clerk.
Make your vote count; remember you get the MP or Councillor you
deserve!!!
Season’s greetings
On behalf of all members of the Parish Council I would like to
offer thanks to all those who have contributed to this magazine.
From the many varied articles and the numerous activities that
take place in the village we appear to have a happy and
sustainable village. The Parish Council wish you all a Happy
Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year
Keith
The Parish Council have established a website to record the
activities and reports of the Parish Council (minutes, calendar
of meetings, standing orders, contacts etc) together with useful
links to related websites. The website is ‘work in progress’ and
will be added to over the next few months. We are indebted to
the work that has been undertaken by Kyle Snook in setting up
the website and his continued ongoing work.
VILLAGE HISTORY ARCHIVE
We hope that you have enjoyed reading the village
history that was delivered to each residence in the
Parish in August. xAs a reminder if you would like a
further copy please contact the Clerk or visit the
Church. A minimum donation of £3 is asked for. Wendy
Morgan, one of the contributors to the village history
has advised of an error that she made and she writes:
‘In the book Brize Norton Through the Ages I made an
error that must be rectified. By mistake, I noted that
in the Worley section (page 21) I had Edward Worley,
father of Tom and Phyllis, as dying in the 1st World
War. Please amend that to 1923. As a result of that
information I did some more research but still cannot
tie up the two families of Worleys. John Worley of Manor
Farm I now find was born in Long Combe, Oxon, so not
from Lincolnshire, and the other Worley, William,
ancestor of Tom Worley I first found farming on Frog
Mill Farm, Cookham, Berkshire, before farming in Hurley,
Berkshire, and then Black Bourton. That’s the trouble
with family history; you keep finding new information
and amending old. So my apologies for my mistakes.’
We are reminded in the pamphlet that keeping records,
photos and other media today is the only way of ensuring
an adequate record of our village history and the Parish
Council is still keen to receive any further village
history related material you have, in particular photos
so that an online archive can be established. Please
contact
Dr Holmes at Church Farmhouse (843856) or p.holmes@brizenorton.org.uk
, or alternatively contact the clerk. Any material can
be returned to you immediately after scanning.

ST BRITIUS CHURCH
During the past few months we have enjoyed some good services at
St Britius. At the beginning of October we celebrated Harvest
Festival. We continue to give thanks for the ways in which we
are blessed in this country, the majority having shelter, food
and water. Donations made by the congregation and the school
community have been delivered to ‘the Porch’ in Oxford. Our Patronal Festival at the beginning of November was an
opportunity to celebrate the weddings and baptisms that we have
conducted at
St Britius and to learn something about our Patron Saint St
Britius. From the collection taken at our Remembrance Day
Service we sent a donation of £183 to the Royal British Legion
Poppy Appeal.
 |
We now look forward to Advent and our Christmas services. We
welcome you to:
- Candlelit Carol Service on Sunday December 22nd at 6.00pm; a
service of nine lessons and carols and the children’s Nativity
Tableau – we would invite all children attending to come dressed
as shepherds, angels, wise men and people of Bethlehem. Please
contact Carolyn (844102) for more details. Hot mince pies and
refreshments are served after the service.
- Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve at 11.30pm
- Family Service and Holy Communion on Christmas Day at 9.15am
Looking further forward we will be celebrating Christingle on
February 2nd 2014 at 9.15am when we will decorate the oranges
during the service.
In addition to the 9.15am Holy Communion services each Sunday,
on the 1st and 3rd Sundays there is a Light Zone service – an
informal worship with activities arranged for the children
attending and songs, prayers and refreshments. For further
details of the church services refer to the notices on the
church door or log onto the website
www.brizenorton.org.uk. |
The end is in sight for the last few jobs to complete in respect
of the grant funding we received to refurbish the roof and
drainage and we have been fortunate in obtaining a grant from
the Diocese and TOE2 (Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment) to
undertake a study to advise us how best to heat the church and
save money on our energy bills. Our ‘Friends’ scheme continues
in the New Year and we have also arranged the following
fundraising activities:
| Carol singing on Tuesday 17th December – all welcome, we will
provide words and music if you could join us with your voices!
We will meet at the Church at 6.30pm to walk south along
Station Road stopping off at Chestnut and Chichester Close and
finishing up at The Chequers at approximately 8pm.
Pancake Supper Tuesday 4th March 2014 – 6.30pm in the church –
look out for posters advertising the event nearer the time. |
 |
We would also remind you that as a condition of the English
Heritage and WREN funding we received the Church is to be open
for a minimum of 40 days a year at times other than during
services. The church will be open each Sunday after the morning
services until dusk or 6pm. You are welcome to visit to learn
more of the church’s fascinating history or just for quiet
reflection. The Church is also open on repatriation days for
quiet prayer and the office bell is rung as the cortege passes
by.
 |
A message from James - On a global level as we continue to hear
of many atrocities to innocent civilians and places of worship
in Egypt and the Middle East and of the devastation and
suffering in the Philippines we continue to pray for God’s peace
and justice.
On a local level we have something to celebrate, which is a
wonderful answer to prayer. Adventure Plus (a Christian outdoor
organisation) is very much on their way to buying Windmill Farm
Conference Centre, Clanfield.x This will be a fantastic resource
for local people and many others.
As I ponder once again at the Advent Season I am amazed and
exhilarated by the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. We hope that our
services will be a blessing and pray that many will come. xI,
together with the members of the PCC wish everyone a very happy
and peaceful Christmas.

REPATRIATIONS
Details of repatriations are usually received on a Monday. Notices will be displayed on the village notice boards at the
earliest opportunity. Further details may be found on the
Oxfordshire County Council web site. Please note timings are
always subject to change.
BRIZE NORTON VILLAGE PRESCHOOL
We have had a fantastic if hectic start to the new
term. Our new in-take of children has settled well, and
we are now looking forward to Christmas. The children
have been looking at nursery rhymes this term, and have
made some lovely wall displays illustrating their
favourites.
Thank you to all who supported our shopping evening on
Tuesday 26th November in the Elderbank Hall. It was a
great event to start (or even finish!) your Christmas
shopping. Our next fundraising event is our annual
Christmas Fayre on Thursday 12th December, with
the children doing a small performance. All are welcome
to come and take part from 11.15am in the Elderbank
Hall, there will be tea and cakes on offer as well. |
 |
We now only have spaces in a very few sessions from January, and
a waiting list for September, so if your child is coming up to
preschool age and you would like a space, we would urge you to
fill in a waiting list application form available at
www.brizenortonpreschool.co.uk and return to us. Our
admissions policy gives priority to children living in the
village, and we accept children from the term following their
2nd birthday. If you would like to visit us, please give
us a call on 07769 617696.

POPPY APPEAL
The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal in the village of Brize
Norton raised £1,026.11 this year. This was again an increase
over the previous year and reflects the empathy felt in the
village for the military. We are indebted to Mrs Barbie Thorne
for her drive and determination for co-ordinating the Poppy
Appeal on behalf of the British Legion.
BRIZE NORTON SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB
This time of the year is normally peace before the celebrations
of Christmas and the New Year take place. It's much the same
with the Sports and Social Club. We are trying to save and raise
money for the next lot of improvements, which is taking a bit
longer than hoped.
 |
The cricket has long finished but the cricketers enjoyed a
fairly good season with a lot of compliments about the ever
improving cricket square and outfield. The Aunt Sally team have
had a second successful summer season - especially as the
weather was a lot kinder than in 2012! The football season is
underway with a mixed bag of results so far, although the 1st XI
has recently put a good run together and is currently 2nd in the
league.
Our annual August bank holiday cricket and fete also enjoyed
warm sunshine and a big thank you to all those who helped and
supported the event. This event has been going now for almost 40
years without much change, but now is the time for change, with
some new, young inspiration to see how we can bring new life to
a well loved yet tired village event.
We have already had some
volunteers come forward to help organise next years event but
please do let me know if you would like to help in any way.
Ideas that have been put forward so far are to change the day -
maybe to the Sunday; run a small beer festival with music;
encourage more village associations/clubs to run stalls.
Please
feel free to contribute. That being said, the heart of the day
is the enjoyment gained from watching and playing cricket... by
the young, the old, the talented and not so talented people of
the village. Plus, we cannot forget the Horticultural Show,
which has been running even longer than the fete day! Don't
forget to let me have you ideas and offers of help if you can.
On behalf of the Sports and Social Club I wish you all a very
Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2014.

WIDOWS FUEL ALLOTMENT CHARITY FIELD
We have a small charity in the village which pays out a small
gift to Pensioners and Widows at Christmas. The money comes from
rent from a field which was given to the village. If you haven’t
received a gift before and think you now qualify please let me
know before 10 December 2013. This is available to Brize Norton
residents only.

BRIZE NORTON WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
| I hope you all enjoyed the lovely summer. Unfortunately it had
not quite started on the day that we had arranged our river trip
however, we had an enjoyable afternoon visiting the Downton
Abbey Costume Exhibition at Bampton and then having a wander
round Lechlade Garden Centre before finishing off with a
delicious cream tea at the Trout. In September we had an
enjoyable hands-on evening making corn dollies and learning of
their origins. October tested our knowledge about the beginnings
of earth with experiments and questions that helped our learning
along the way.
Our Christmas meal this year will be at The Vines at Black
Bourton.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month in Elderbank Hall at
7.30pm and would be pleased to welcome you.

SAVE BRIZE NORTON
Whilst the results of the Strategic Housing
Market Assessment (SHMA) are now not expected until early 2014
things are moving on apace.
On Friday 8 November Bloor Homes and Christ Church held a
consultation presentation in Carterton which was attended by
SBNAG members and other Brize
residents. Several of us asked 'why is an exhibition not being
held in Brize? What about our less mobile villagers?' The
response, in my view, was arrogant to say the least. Several of
the plans displayed were out of date and did not include the new
RAF Medical Centre, the new Airbus hanger and most importantly
the extension of the Aircraft Servicing Platform (ASP).
These errors were pointed out as they are very relevant to the
proposed sight of the new homes in terms of noise and light
pollution.
Nevertheless, the plans highlighted the sheer enormity of the
proposals. Not only will there be 700 or more houses but
it is also intended to build a large school, a hotel, shops, a
pub and possibly even a new community centre. So, is this what
we want on our doorstep? What are the implications for our
wonderful village school?
Those attending the consultation were asked to complete a
questionnaire comprising 8 questions, some of which were
ambiguous and slanted in favour of the development plus the
opportunity to make further comments. If you didn't
attend, the plans can be seen and the questionnaire completed on
line by visiting
www.cartertoneast.com. You have until 12 December to
make your feelings known - we certainly did on the night! For
villagers without access to the internet I have a number of
questionnaires for completion which can be returned by post.
It was the view of SBNAG that this was simply a PR exercise
enabling Bloor Homes to say they had gone through a
'consultation' process. However, as they have promised to
publish the results of the questionnaire and forward them to WODC it is vitally important that as many as possible express
their views so please visit
www.cartertoneast.com and have your
say! Make it known if you disagree with the questions being
asked.
We have also set up our own questionnaire which has been
distributed with this newsletter and is also on the BNAG
website. Follow the link
http://www.brizenorton.org.uk/community/save_our_village/
(it’s located in the top right hand corner of the web page).
The questions are similar but without the bias towards Bloor
Homes. Filling it in will only take a few minutes of your time
and will be treated in utmost confidentiality. The results will
be analysed and used to support our case against Carterton East
Development. It is most important that as many people as
possible contribute to this. If you complete the paper copy
enclosed please return to any of the following houses in the
village:
Keith Glazier, 105 Station Road
Pip Squire, 64 Station Road
Carolyn Peach, 52a Station Road
Becki Glazier, 20 Chestnut Close
Laurence Taylor 39 Chichester Place
Fred Bellenger, 1 Daubigny Mead
Selwyn Shorrock, Poplars, Carterton Road
James Gillies, 3 Minster Road
Glen Pratley, Chantries, Burford Road (just past the Mason’s
Arms)

Noise continues to trouble us all and to be told at the
presentation (by people who do not live in our area) that it is
NOT a problem is an insult to our intelligence. No wonder there
were some heated exchanges - although the policeman present did
not have to intervene! The developers are relying upon out of
date noise data but fortunately new data will be published
shortly. Meantime it is important that you continue to 'phone
RAF Brize Norton (telephone 895714) each time you are bothered
by aircraft noise and insist that your complaint is logged. Alternatively email your complaint stating name, address, time,
date and duration of the noise disturbance to either or both
BZN-OpsWg-AirComplaints-Off@mod.uk
BZN-OpsWg-AirComplaints-SNCOU1@mod.uk
Finally, on a lighter note, you might be interested to learn
that a large 'SAY NO TO 700+ HOUSES HERE' sign appeared next to
David Cameron's constituency home in the village of Dean. We
must state categorically that no member of SBNAG or Brize
resident was guilty of this heinous crime!
We still need more members to our Action Group so if you share
our concerns come along to one of our meetings at the Chequers.
For more information 'please email
me on wwwbeckingham@talktalk.net or 'phone me on 843608.

ALLOTMENT NEWS
All the allotments are taken and are generally
well looked after.
The "Best Kept Allotment" award was presented in October and
went to Bob Howell,
9A, B and C whose plots are always well worked. Runner up was
Wendy Way and
Les Goble, 3C and D, who have only relatively recently taken on
these plots. The judges thought the most improved plot was 13X
rented to Sarah Birch and
Chris Cummins.
After last years abysmal weather we were at last
blessed with a lovely sunny season albeit after a
prolonged cold start which put most things back at least
a month.
Of course with the hot weather came the need to water
which pushed the water consumption and bill up! If you
have a shed or greenhouse its worth collecting the water
from the roof of it, giving savings of the water cost
and also it decreases the distance for you to carry the
water. An inch of rain on an 8 feet x 6 feet shed yields
25 gallons of water - if you can catch it all!
More allotment holders entered the Horticultural show
this year with many winning awards. Thanks to Judy &
Beverly for organising the Horticultural show once
again.

BRIZE NORTON PRIMARY SCHOOL
It has been a busy first term at school. This year
we have welcomed fifteen new children into the Reception
class and already they are settled and enjoying all the
wonderful opportunities that school offers. As well as
welcoming new children, we have welcomed Mrs Addinell to
the teaching team and Miss Waymark to the teaching
support team.
This term we have been looking at the meaning of Harvest
in school. We held a lovely Harvest Festival in the
Church, attended by many people. Once again this year,
the children and community gave donations of food for
The Porch, in Oxford.
In addition, the children have been learning about
Remembrance. As a school we visited the memorial and
held a short Remembrance service on 11th November, where
the children read out work they had been doing and
observed the two minute silence. |
 |
The School Association continues to ensure that exciting events
are planned for children, families and the community, raising
money for the school at the same time. Future events include:
|
- Christmas Bazaar on Sunday 1st December 1pm to
3pm
- Music Night on Saturday 8th February 7.30pm to 11.30pm,
tickets £10 with music from MASLU.

HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORT CONSULTATION
Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) is running a new consultation
on proposals to change its Home to School Transport policy
following a decision in July to look again at the plans. The
proposals if passed in January 2014 would be phased in with
effect from September 2015, although the increase in
concessionary fares would start in September 2014. The proposals
reduce the range of schools to which children would qualify for
free transport – OCC propose to provide only the statutory
minimum - transport to the nearest available school if it is
over the age determined “statutory walking distance”. The
proposals will have a MAJOR IMPACT on children in Brize Parish
as they live within the three mile statutory walking distance of
Carterton Community College, the nearest secondary school.
Within this zone there is no entitlement to free transport even
to Carterton, notwithstanding that Brize Norton is actually in
the catchment area of Burford Secondary school to which there
would be no proposed service. For full details of the proposal
go to
https://myconsultations.oxfordshire.gov.uk/consult.ti/transport2015/consultationHome
and have your say. There is also an open meeting on Monday 9
December at 7.00pm at Burford School to learn more. The
consultation ends on Friday 20 December.
