We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 9.30am sharp to do a circuit of approximately two hours. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.25am latest. We aim to be back at the Village Hall by noon.
Dogs are welcome provided that they are put on a lead when requested. Walking boots (or wellies in wet weather) are recommended but not compulsory. Walking poles may also be beneficial. Some routes include stiles.
If you are leaving your car at the village hall to complete the walk, please park it on the road outside rather than in the car park.

Speaker: Dale Johnston
Dale is Events and Exhibitions Manager at Banbury Museum. His talk is about the female munitions workers during the World Wars, who kept the allied front lines supplied with weapons and explosives. They earned their nickname because prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals like TNT turned their skins and hair a bright yellow.
Doors open 7.15pm for 7.30pm start

Sibford Folk Dance Club
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Sibfords, the Sibford Folk Dance Club meets in the Village Hall every Tuesday evening from 8.00 p.m to 10.00 p.m. and we would like more of you to come along and enjoy yourselves with us. Anyone over the age of 13 years will be made very welcome.
Don’t stay away because you know nothing about it, or you are-too young or too old. If you can put one foot in front of the other, we can teach you folk dancing. Come along and try it, I promise that you will be agreeably surprised.
In September we are hoping to form a Junior section of our club. We would like lots of children and young people from 9 to 15 years inclusive to come along. We shall hold 4 meetings on September 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please be punctual as you must leave at 8 p.m. The charge will be 10p per child per session. By September 25th we must have at least 12 wishing to continue to make the venture worthwhile. If we achieve this number we shall continue to hold the meetings every Tuesday evening.
