[Local people take on 500mile cycle challenge]

Friends from the Weston Rhyn area are to take on a 500mile cycle challenge from Oswestry to it's Twin Town, Combs la Ville.

 

One of the team will be myself and we will start the 500 mile journey on the 12th April, head to Straford upon Avon, to London where we will pick up the Avenue Verte cycle route, and then the over night ferry to Dieppe.  From Dieppe we stay on the Avenue Verte taking its longer Eastern route to Paris then on to Combs la Ville.

 

The challenge will completed for charity, we have chosen SANDS UK and Kicks Count and then the Rotary Club of Oswestry have kindly agreed to accept some of the money raised from our Challenge and distribute it on our behalf to selected charities in the Oswestry area. They include:

Oswestry Young Carers
Oswestry Community Action
Oswestry & Borders Foodbank...
The Movement Centre Oswestry

[Message for Simple Simon]

I was trying to send you a message.... I think your inbox must be full

[Gobowen Railway Station Waiting Room on Platform Two]

You would need to include the reinstating of the A5 crossing and the bridge where Whittington Road meets Gobowen Road and numerous other works.  The cost would soon escalate.  As a grand plan to overhaul Oswestry I think it may have merit, but as a standalone steam engine route not.

[Gobowen Railway Station Waiting Room on Platform Two]

IIRC a figure I heard was £1million per mile of railway.  You also need to reinstate the bridge at Whittington Road and then Middleton Road and Salop Road if you are to carry on the route past Oswestry.  

[Inny or Outy?]

[Community Online should it continue?]

Thanks for the comments, as Simple Simon mentions about there has been a lot of effort and costs to the promotion. 

There are 264 members of this forum and the group email posted to over 200 of those members and just 11 come back with a response.

To Be Honest

[Parish Council Agenda and Minutes]

What's is the consensus of opinion over Parish Council Minutes posted here?

When I originally started the forum, Parish Council's either didn't have websites or had items posted in obscure places buried within other websites.  St.Martins don't send me any and TBH rarely engage in the website, Weston Rhyn send me information, although the agenda is always sent after the event and now Gobowen/Selattyn prefer to post on their own website.

Should they continue to be posted on Community Online?

[Horses In Meadows Again...]

There was a section Countryfile about new powers being brought in England and Wales, which means horses can be seized and in many cases rehomed.  

Details of the program are here and it might still be available on iplayer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ymqmm

 

[Hengoed Cemetary...]

The newer ones definitely download OK, the earlier ones might not due the me loosing a load of data in an update last year.

[Hengoed Cemetary...]

Roundabout edition are available here too :)

 

[Council Meeting Agenda]

I gave all the Parish Council's the option to have their agenda and minutes posted on this website, I would do everything all they had to do was email me.  

So if it not posted here, its never been sent to me.

[West place parking]

I think you are not allowed to drive on common land unless you need access to your property.  So I would therefore assume you are not allowed to drive on or park on an area of commonland or village green.  As Simple Simon says above, I would think its a question for Shropshire Council or maybe Gobowen and Selattyn Parish Council might be able to advise.

[Come and take part in The Big Chat - 23rd January 2pm - 4pm]

How did the event go?

[Regen the Wren...]

Would it be a good idea to showcase some local talent in the area.  There are loads of hidden 'stars' who excel in industry, sports, music etc. that people probably either never realised what they did or that they live in the area.

[Santa's Back!!]

Just in case you missed it on Facebook and Twitter......

[Final Report Focus Weston Rhyn 2015]

Good to hear that the event went well, and great to see so many groups and people came out to support the various events during the week.

I also see that you had a meeting last night to discuss the 'What next'  hopefully all went well and you have lots of ideas for the future.

 

[Goodbye Cross Keys]

Firstly welcome to the forum Peter...

Its all change in Weston Rhyn, indeed as mentioned the Cross Keys has gone and now has houses build on the land, the chip shop you mention is a Chinese; they still do a cracking fish and chips and the Top House pub (The Lodge) is an Indian Restaurant.
