Mothers Day Teas in the Reading Room 2.30 till 5.00.pm All proceeds from the teas will go to the UNICEF Ukraine Appeal. It is good to report that plans to develop and revitalise the Contemplation Garden are going well. We have received some generous donations from villagers, including the wooden benches and various hedging and bushes required for this project. We are also delighted with the response for volunteers to help with the various practical tasks such as:
Lindsay is organising the volunteers and they meet for the first time this Saturday 26th March in the Garden at 9.30 am – 12.30. More volunteers are welcome to come along to this or at a future date. Please contact Lindsay if you would like to volunteer. The Committee are happy to receive further donations for the purchase of plants and other items for the garden, including: information boards and nest boxes for birds, bats and bees. Contact Pat if you wish to donate. We would like to thank everyone who has supported this development which will be of benefit to villagers and visitors alike for years to come.

Greener Great Coxwell featured in the Oxford Low Carbon Hub Community Newsletter - 'Groups in the News'
Greener Great Coxwell Awarded £33k for Community Heat and Hot Water Feasibility Study It’s fantastic to report that one of our more recent Low Carbon Hub community groups, Greener Great Coxwell, has been successful in its application to the Rural Community Energy Fund for the Phase 1 Community Heat and Hot Water Project feasibility study. With the help of similar projects, especially Heating Upper Heyford and the Greater SouthEast Energy Hub, and the support of a large number of their residents, an ambitious project to make sustainable and reliable heat available to the whole village has taken a significant step forward. The grant will enable their selected energy consultants, Locogen, to carry out the initial study and recommend the next steps. They commented: "It is early days yet but we are very excited to receive this grant award for our village. The government has identified Heat Networks as an important option for decarbonising heat and hot water and we are keen to see if we could be early adopters with our community-based proposal. The project would deliver low-carbon, reliable and reduced-cost heat to the village and potentially provide a revenue stream to help us fight fuel poverty and support a range of green projects locally." 2. Village Pump/Well update GGC have spoken to both the Parish Council and Oxfordshire County Council about the ownership of our well and pump. Neither have ownership of the well or pump and both have given their approval for us to explore the possibility of restoring it to working order. GGC has emailed two well restorers. One got back to them. Well Masters are a family run business from Liss, Hampshire. They are coming to look at the well on Wednesday 23 March. It will cost £82.60 for the visit and an initial assessment of it. If you have any comments, suggestions or historic information please be in contact with us via our email address below. 3. Progress on Great Coxwell Community Energy Project Work on phase 1 of the project, the desktop feasibility study, is now underway. Locogen will be updating us bi-weekly and we will keep everyone informed of progress. If this phase is successful we will be working with them and will involve as many people in the village as we can. 4. Visit to North Aston. Greener Great Coxwell energy group were invited to visit a fully operational ground source heat pump installation in North Aston about 12 miles north of Oxford. See photographs of the field containing buried loops, the Energy Centre, and the Heat Transfer unit each house needs to transfer heat to the existing central heating fluid. Properties in NA are stone estate properties having no cavity walls, poor insulation (EPC F-G) and generally no double glazing. The NA estate is experimenting to see how well the system performs with various amounts of extra insulation - or none. They report good results, even with a low temperature network. The system went live last year. Further technical details and more photographs can be seen on the Energy Project Web Site under Bulletins. https://greenergreatcoxwell.com/great-coxwell-community-energy-bulletins/ Thank you, Greener Great Coxwell web: www.greenergreatcoxwell.com mail: [email protected] Greener Great Coxwell Limited is registered in England as a registered society under the Co‑operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014.
