We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 10am sharp to do a circuit of approximately one hour. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.55 am latest. Walk routes will not be announced beforehand but will be chosen according to the mud factor.
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.

Sorry, folks, the talk has had to be postponed.
Tim Huckvale's talk is part history, part detective story.
In 2025 Hook Norton Museum acquired the hand-written diary of a young Quaker woman living in Sibford in 1895. Since then a second diary, from 1906/7, has turned up. The two diaries contain fascinating insights into daily life in and around the area. But who was she? All will be revealed.
The talk is based on one Tim gave in March 2026 for the museum; this time it is for the Hook Norton Carry on Learning Group. An optional donation of £3 helps recover costs, and includes light refreshments.

Coffee for Cambodia
At the Rectory on the above date (Tuesday 11th December), we want to break every record that Sibford has ever established. We want to help the poor miserably-treated people of Cambodia in a very real way.
We want you to come; we want you to bring and buy more generously than you have ever done before; we want you to support the cause‘even if you can’t come; we want you to enjoy your Christmas – but we want to try and make the Cambodian Christmas just that little bit more bearable than it might be.
Donations towards the fund will be accepted at the Rectory at any time between now and the end of the year.
At this season of generosity and good-will, may I appeal to you to make this event the biggest and best-ever fund raising event in the history of the Sibfords.
I challenge anyone to sit down with their Christmas Plenty without. having made a serious and worth-while donation to Cambodia.
