SOUTH NEWINGTON BONFIRE NIGHT – SATURDAY 5TH NOV 2022 @ 6PM
SOUTH NEWINGTON BONFIRE NIGHT
When: Sat 5th November start 6pm
Where: Barbours Fields off Sands Lane
FIREWORKS
The format of this bonfire night is based on Balscote village’s event, where each household contributes a big firework or two, which is then combined and managed in one safe display for all the village to enjoy. James Durley and Miles Colegrave have kindly offered to be in charge of the display.
Please bring any fireworks to them by Tuesday 1st November at the latest. This is to allow them time to arrange the display safely. If you prefer to give a contribution, they will buy the firework selection for you. Google lists several places nearby where you can buy good displays, such as Fireworks Crazy in Bicester.
Address for firework drop off: Miles Colegrave no 1 Barford Road or James Durley no 4 Barford Road.
BONFIRE
Please add any DRY WOOD only (no wet leaves) to the bonfire site which you will see in the field just off the footpath marked with a flag from October 29th (no sooner.)
The fields are available by kind permission of Julian Barbour and Carmen Guard. Please do not drop litter or metal items such as sparklers in the field to protect nature. The firework and bonfire display is at your own risk.

Queens Platinum Jubilee Art Exhibition – South Newington Church Thursday 2nd June 2022
South Newington Queens Platinum Jubilee Celebrations 2022
JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS – Thursday 2nd June to Saturday 4th June 2022
Jubilee celebrations are fast approaching and we hope you will be able to join us in the village to celebrate this wonderful occasion. The main events are the art exhibition in the church, the open gardens on the Friday and the street banquet on the Saturday, including South Newington Ascot races, hat parade, games on the Poleaxe, and pub quiz at the Duck on the Pond.
Lots more details to follow, but in the meantime the programme is attached to give you enough time to create your artwork, sculpture, hats, horses, costumes.
We would like to send some letters to the Queen from the village. If you would like to write one and for us to send it as part of a South Newington group of letters then please do so and leave it in the church porch for me to collect. I will leave some postcard and writing templates in the church porch for any younger members who may wish to have some help and inspiration. The idea is the Queen will then send us a group letter that we could frame and put with the Jubilee photo on the wall in the village hall.
Thank you to all the volunteers who have come forward already, if there is anyone who would like to bake for the teas on Friday afternoon, or wishes to help out in the village hall then that would be much appreciated. We will need as many hands on deck on Saturday morning to set up the tables for the street party between the church and Poleaxe, and of course to hang bunting. We will also need some help at the end of the day to return them. Please let Roz know if you can help [email protected]
