Shutford Parish Council
Why not become a Councillor on Shutford Parish Council?
You will serve for a term of four years to represent the interests of the local community as a whole and promote a harmonious local environment. The Parish Council meets every other month at 7.30 pm on the second Wednesday of the month and meetings normally last 1-2 hours, so it is not onerous. There are currently six councillors and there is one vacancy.
Parish councils make all kinds of decisions on issues that affect the local community. Probably the most common topics that parish councils get involved with are planning matters, crime prevention, managing open spaces and campaigning for and delivering better services and facilities.
The Parish Council hopes to fill this vacancy before the next meeting on 13th July.
If you would like to serve your local community in this way, please contact the parish clerk, David Best on 07787 496774 or clerk.shutfordpc@gmail.com

Table Tennis Club
The Shutford Table Tennis Club adults have done extremely well in the recent non-league competitions against the well-established clubs, BGN and Bodicote, where two and three-player teams were entered.
The Shutford A team came 3rd in the last competition at Chasewell Community Centre which was an amazing result considering we are a new club participating in local tournaments. Our budding junior stars will be taking part in future competitions and we also hope to enter a team into the local Banbury TT league in the near future.
The next competition is the non-league finals Wednesday,18 May at Chasewell Community Centre where we will be entering three 2-player teams. Good luck to you all!

Polite reminder for dog owners
There have been various complaints about the behaviour of dogs, and their owners, so please:
- Always keep your dogs under control, and particularly so when lambs are in fields. Put your dog on a lead if you can’t control it. Pick up your dog poo and put in the dog poo bins. There are poo bags available in various locations, please use these if needed, but don’t take them all!

We are really keen to get the Shutford Film Club going again, but need a volunteer coordinator to help - this would involve booking the village hall, selecting a film a month, collecting club membership fees, setting out chairs, setting up the film etc.
The club has worked well in the past, with members bringing along their own drinks and refreshments and enjoying a communal movie night.
Please contact shutfordvhc@gmail.com for more information.
