Mexican Train Dominoes Event at the Hall

Posted on by

Have you heard of Mexican Train Dominoes?

It’s played like normal dominoes and is easy to learn and surprisingly addictive.

Check out YouTube on how to play. Just be aware that there are loads of variations on the rules, but the major difference between this and normal dominoes is the fact that the maximum number of dots is 12 rather than 6. There will be people on hand to get you started when we play soon at the Langford Village Community Hall.

We are planning our first evening Community Event at the Hall on Saturday 13th June. We will set up from 6.30pm aiming to start play at 7pm and run until 9.45pm. Tables can be booked NOW at a cost of £10 for a table of 4.or £2.50 per person.

Bring along your set of dominoes or when booking advise that you need to book one of our sets. Please book your table at bookings@lvca.org.uk. There are 10 tables available.

Each table will be given a score card to complete and there will be a small prize for the winner on each table.

Please bring your own food and drink – or order in. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Join us for a fun, relaxing evening as we start these new events to help bring our Langford Village community further together.

Rosé Wine Tasting at the Hall – Sat 13th July at 5.30pm

Posted on by

Rosé Wines are the go-to wines for summer for many people who enjoy a well chilled and fruity refreshing drink on a long hot summer day. So we invite you to join us for a tasting of a variety of rosé drinks on Saturday 13th July at 5.30pm to 8pm, starting with some fizz, a cocktail and a variety of wines from various countries.

Whilst this is going to be an informal tasting, there will be a little information as to how these wines are produced, the different styles available and hopefully it will encourage you to try something you might not have considered. We will also have an option of some red wine for those who prefer this style, although our prime focus this time is rosé.

We will also have a tea tasting available for those not wishing to partake in the alcohol offerings. Sample a variety of teas ranging from decaffeinated, fruit, black and green. 

To complement the wines and the tea, there will be an assortment of cheese and biscuits provided.

This evening will be free of charge, although you will need to reserve your place by email to bookings@lvca.org.uk.

Please do this right away to ensure your place. The tasting is open to all over the age of 18.

If you enjoy the evening, you may like to leave a donation to cover costs.

Please do come and join us for a relaxed evening at Langford Village Community Hall.

Preparing for the next EWR consultation

Understanding the formal process for a solution to London Road Crossing

Every person on Langford Village should be involved with the process beginning in June regarding the EWR proposals for the solution to London Road Crossing. 

On May 9th we all get a chance to understand this process before we see the proposals in the following month.

EWR are holding an event at Weyland Hall in Bicester from 2.00pm to 7.00pm on that day which is open to all.

This event is designed to help people understand the statutory consultation and Development Consent Order (DCO) processes. Members of the EWR DCO and engagement teams will attend to answer any questions and queries people might have.

These sessions are not formal consultation events and there will be no specific design information or proposals available to view, however that design information will of course be available at the statutory consultation, where there will then be the opportunity to share feedback about the proposals.

June will see the first phase of the statutory consultation and we will have sight of the first plans of the two proposed sites for a bridge for access to town to replace the London Road crossing at which people will be able to give feedback.

One of the proposals, as far as we know, is to have a bridge over the railway at Gavray Drive, anyone backing on to or near Gavray needs to be ready to comment as it would mean Gavray being turned into much busier road with an extra 7.000 vehicle  journeys daily. it also means we have lost an access road into town as that would feed into Launton Road.

The other proposal, as far as we know, is a curved bridge alongside London Road cutting through the carparks near the ambulance building and coming down along Station Approach, a much more sensible option retaining an existing road into town.

Whatever happens will have a huge impact on everyone south of London Road Crossing.
