Women's Tour of Britain coming to Charlbury

It was today announced that the Women's Tour, one of the most prestigious women's cycling races in the world, will be coming to Oxfordshire in each of the next three years.

Stage 3 of the 2019 race, to take place on Wednesday 12 June, will finish at Blenheim Palace and the provisional route includes Charlbury on the final approach. The three-year agreement was launched at Blenheim Palace this morning (20 March), with county and district councillors and local cyclists in attendance, plus professional Welsh cyclist Manon Lloyd.

The OVO Women's Tour is a “World Tour” event which means it’s in the top tier of women’s bike races. (The men’s Tour of Britain is a second-tier event, part of the “Europe Tour”.)

The date is in the middle of the second Charlbury Festival. The route is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Last High Speed Train on the Cotswold Line? Sunday 10th

Charlbury residents who've trekked down to the station to see steam trains in recent months might be interested to know of another landmark this afternoon - possibly the last HST (aka "InterCity 125") in regular service on the Cotswold Line.

The train is passing through Charlbury westbound at 15.02, and eastbound at 17.32.

HSTs have been the mainstay of long-distance services on the Cotswold Line since the 1980s, but have now been replaced by the new Intercity Express trains.

Beer Festival grant funds available

The success of last years event meant that we were able to make £20,000 available for grant applications. We've already been able to support grant applications from the School and Pre-School, various sports clubs, a community dance stage, the Day Center, the Historical Society, the Arts Society, HIFA and the Community Centre.

We do still have approximately £3,500 available so would love to hear from any organisation that is in need of funds this year that we can help with. Grant application forms can be downloaded from the CBF website  https://charlburybeerfestival.org/grants.htm and emailed back to me along with all supporting documents.

And whilst we're at it, don't forget the date for this years beer festival, Saturday 29th June. We are aiming to pass the £250,000 fundraising mark in this, our 22nd year, all of which of course wouldn't be possible without the support from everyone who comes and enjoys an afternoon at one of the best independent beer festivals around.
