DURING THE WINTER THE OXFORDSHIRE BULLS UNDER 11 AND UNDER 12 AGE GROUPS ACCESSED COACHING SUPPORT IN ADDITION TO THEIR PATHWAY PROGRAMME IN THE DOUGLAS BADER SPORTS HALL AT ST EDWARD’S SCHOOL, OXFORD. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ST EDWARD’S SCHOOL AND RACHEL FOR BEING SO GENEROUS AND FOR BEGINNING TO FORMULATE THIS REFRESHED LINK BETWEEN THE BULLS AND ST EDWARD’S SCHOOL, WHICH WE HOPE WILL CONTINUE IN THE YEARS TO COME. SAM ARTHURS FOUNDATION PATHWAY MANAGER, OXFORDSHIRE CRICKET We have continued to open up our facilities for external organisations to use on a non-commercial basis. Examples of this include regular use of our facilities for primary school sports and sports days, musical events and sports events. We have built up a working relationship over the years with Oxfordshire Cricket. The Oxfordshire Bulls use the Sports Hall for cricket nets and training and the U18 teams and Southern Vipers Academy have used our pitches and nets. Chance to Shine is a national charity that aims to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket and it funded Oxfordshire Cricket to deliver a cricket workshop to the primary school pupils whom we invited to Teddies T20 at Wormsley Estate. The Year 5 Dynamos Cricket School Finals day was held at St Edward’s and over 80 Year 5 pupils attended from 10 schools.

THAT WAS A LOVELY OCCASION TODAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INVITATION AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE COOKS FOR OUR WONDERFULLY TASTY VEGETARIAN FEAST THAT WE HAD FOR OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS DINNER. MEMORABLE. PLEASE CONVEY OUR THANKS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE CHRISTMAS DINNERS, OUR CHILDREN LOVED THEM – FIVE CLEAN PLATES! Edward’s have worked with various organisations such as Wolvercote Young People’s Club (WYCP) and Oxford Mutual Aid (OMA). Over the year we have supported a variety of projects and events by loaning out equipment such as gazebos, drama stages and IT equipment and we have also provided administrative support for recruitment and surveying as well as offering health and safety advice. The kitchens continue to provide weekly meals free of charge to several organisations and charities such as Oxford Mutual Aid (OMA) and the Limes Club which supports people living with dementia. They have also made packed lunches for the Cutteslowe summer holiday camp and provided the Cutteslowe Community Christmas Lunch.

COULD WE PASS ON OUR THANKS AND GRATITUDE TO THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN COOKING THAT WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS DINNER. FROM RECIPIENTS OF THE CHRISTMAS LUNCH IN CUTTESLOWE COMMUNITY CENTRE
