Duns Tew Summer Drinks
Many thanks to everyone who supported the Summer Drinks Fundraiser at the end of July. Our special thanks to the Gilje’s for hosting the event in their beautiful garden at Priory Court and to Steve Nash for providing the enjoyable music. We raised £550 for church improvements.
Ride & Stride Sponsored Bike Ride
The annual Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust (OHCT) Ride & Stride event is taking place on Saturday, 10 September. This event raises money for historic Oxfordshire churches, including our own church in Duns Tew. Last year, the OHCT gave us a grant of £6,000 towards the cost of our window and tower repairs. As in previous years a group of riders and striders will be setting off from the village, if you would like to sponsor them or participate in the event then please register using the Sign up on the Ride + Stride website https://ohct.org.uk/ride-and-stride/ or contact Sarah Taylor (340827) for more details.
Our Charities Charity of the Quarter continues to be The Branch Trust Chipping Norton and The Chippy Larder, with donations being split between the two. https://thebranchtrust.org/what-we-do and https://chippylarder.com/. A plate for donations will be available at services or for more information on how to make a donation through the PCC, please contact Carol Rigby (dunstewpcc@gmail.com) (340632).
