Hello,
Could somebody put the word out regarding dog fouling in the cricket nets and pitch recently that I have noticed.
Also additional due car for the same reasons on the Phoenix Trail.
Increased awareness and additional signage with listed fines should be imposed to rid the problem.
Remember, all members and ages of the community use these areas as well as young children.
It has been run in past years by the Florence Nightingale Hospice charity. Contact them for more information http://www.fnhospice.org.uk/top_menu/contact-us/

Hi Sonja,
I know that Clare Nickless has been kind enough to pass on information about CATKIDS productions in the past. We have a show next weekend at the Thame Players Theatre and I have a couple of great photos of the kids in their ’50’s gear. Is there any chance you could put something out about it and possibly include a photo or two?
All done and tweeted too! https://www.thame.net/events/24846 Break a leg Saturday !
Please could you advertise out gig this Saturday 4th June, 8PM at Tetsworth Sports & Social Club. Local Thame based covers band “Transit”. Otherwise we might be playing to an empty room.
Thank you.

All done. thank you.

Will do.
I have passed on your message to Nostalgic Thame facebook page – which, by the way, is nothing to do with Thame.Net.
Hi Sonja
I am the Bursar of John Hampden Primary School and wonder if we could advertise a job vacancy on Thame.net?
Hope so.
Thanks and regards
Sali
There is an erroneous posting on Nostalgic Thame that Beatrice Dobie has died. This is not true as of Monday morning. She is in hospital, being well cared for after a fall. But the prognosis is not good. Please ask whoever posted this message to get the facts straight.
Of course. Email me the details. editor@thame.net

Nick Rogers thinks Chestnuts was a detached property opposite the war memorial, now an art gallery. Hope that helps.
I will put your request on the ‘Nostalgic Thame’ facebook page and Thame News facebook page and see if anyone can help.
My grandparents stayed in Thame in June 1944 to escape the London bombings. They stayed with Mrs Birch at Chestnuts, High Street, Thame.
Do you know how I can find out where this property is? Thank you.
Sorry, aged parent been very ill and in hospital and so I’ve had to prioritise news this past 6 weeks. I have started the feature but if you could remind me where the book is available (did you say the Belfry?) Also, I was a bit concerned that the ‘AUTHOR’ link on Amazon and another website the book is available from, goes to a famous history professor/author that I don’t think is you. A bit misleading? Regards, Sonja
sorry to bug you again,but have not heard anything from yourself
in respect to my advert for FROM BOY CHAP TO OL,CHAP.it would
be useful to correspond to say the opening of the cricket season
at tiddington presidents day 2nd of may 2016
PLEASE HELP

Hi Sonja
Please could you mention on this that the Aylesbury Road is closed from the town down to the roundabout, except for access only, (it is for 5 days including yesterday in total)
Access is only available coming off the Aylesbury roundabout to head into Thame
Numerous cars were ignoring the signage yesterday and having to turn round, with some actually trying to go through the 1 way area by the roundabout.
PS There is comments etc on the Thame Bay face book page if you want to take a look
many thanks
Anne Croxford
You don’t say where Bill?
Hello Sonja,
Long time – no see !! I trust you and John are OK. I am still travelling quite a bit and enjoying life in general !
I wondered if you would add this request for volunteers in the magazine you produce?
FREE !!
Many things in life are free, like FREEDOM, FREE GIFT, FREE TIME.
But there are a number of elderly people who just don’t have the freedom to do what they want or go where they like because they are housebound due to the difficulties they experience in walking, lack of confidence, or have a partner or spouse to look after and so miss out socially.
At the LUNCHEON CLUB a number of volunteers provide a cooked meal for 36 of these friends each week but we desperately need YOU to become a volunteer in order to enable this valuable and vital service to continue.
Your free gift of a little of your free time, just from 2 hours to 4 hours on Wednesdays, is all you would be contributing – and that doesn’t have to be every week, it could be once a fortnight or even once a month.
Why not telephone either Bill Parkinson or Jane Kimber and make an offer of your time?
Bill can be reached on 01844 352216 and Jane on 01844 690358.
Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you
Thank you, Sonja.
Bill.

The Bull Inn was mentioned in the 1901 census
In the Butter Market.
Hi Sonja
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to our bin men – Macca and the OWR crew for changing my flat tyre this morning. Truly above and beyond, and I’m really grateful!
Hi, All I can find out is that there was a Bull Inn in Thame, later to become a china shop called Taurus, and then Hadley’s. But I have left a post on the facebook page ‘Nostalgic Thame’ which is followed by lots of people very knowledgeable about Thame, so some light may yet be shed on your quest. Good luck.
Hello I wonder if you could help, I am trying to find out about a public house called The Bull Inn which was situated in Thame High street in the 1850’s I am studying genealogy for a friend whose great grandfather was the publican there. Does the inn still exist.
Thanks for your help
Alan
No there isn’t, otherwise I would get all sorts of spam and abuse and inappropriate events listed there! but I will list the production in the EVENTS section of Thame.Net. If you email me directly in the future editor@thame.net, I’m happy to list your events.
Hi Sonja,

Players Theatre
Nelson Street
Thame, Sat 23rd Jan 2016
With around 35 million recordings sold, Yes, the greatest progressive rock band, had huge success in the 70s with albums such as Fragile, The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, Topographic Oceans, Relayer and Going for the One. With their large scale pieces, virtuosity and imagination these albums completely exploded the scope of what Rock and Popular music could achieve.
Yes also had chart success with numerous singles including Roundabout, America (Simon and Garfunkel), Wondrous Stories and Owner of a Lonely Heart.
YES PLEASE, the UK’s top Yes Tribute Band, faithfully reproduce this intricate, impassioned and inspirational music with full vocal harmonies, authentic 70s sounds, and gritty guitars. Add Welsh lead singer Mr Tom Edmunds soaring Andersonically high above and you have the excitement and rarity of a classic Yes performance!

With pleasure. I have added TCC2 https://www.thame.net/thame-community/clubs-and-groups
Hello. On this page, https://www.thame.net/thame-community/clubs-and-groups, under “Theatre and Music Groups”, I see you mention the Thame Chamber Choir. Would you like to add the chidlren’s section of the choir, known as TCC2? My son is a member, and I maintain the web site. The heading could be Thame Chamber Choir Juniors, and the web site to link to is: http://tcc2.org/ Thanks!
Regarding Thame Choral Society’s concert, we published the info a couple of weeks ago in the ‘Entertainment News’ section https://www.thame.net/archives/22893 but to help publicise it, we will add it to the ‘Events’ section too ASAP. Of course, the only way to not miss ANYTHING going on in Thame, is to become a subscriber 🙂 https://www.thame.net/subscribe
The info re: Beerfest was as given to us. I have checked on the website and changed the venue to Haddenham village hall, as stated on the website – We have to use a postcode to get the map to work http://haddenham-beer-festival.co.uk/venues/ Hopefully anyone with half a brain will click on the weblink we provide and get all the info they need. Thanks for pointing out though.
Haddenham Beer Festival on Dec 12th is actually called the Winterfest. It. Is held in a giant sized marquee in Bank Park not at the Youth and Community Centre.
Can you help please with info re a concert that Thame Choral Society is giving in Thame on Sat 12th – venue, time, ticket info.
Many thanks.

All the details are here Kath. https://www.thame.net/archives/23065
Hi

Hi Sonia
I wonder if Bev and I can use your site to promote our support for the Alzheimers Society. We are both walking the Stonehenge Trek on 4th September, a total of 25 miles, and are trying to raise as much money as possible. Between us we have raised £680 so far but we’d like to raise more!!
I understand you are in the Keys on Wed eve, perhaps we could have a quick chat with you then.
Many thanks.
Did you manage to find the report John after I replaced the link address? I only ask because I noticed today that the same message ‘Bad Security Code’ is coming up AGAIN, and that the document (and the heritage statement) have a new address. Very weird. The best thing is to go directly to the ‘supporting documentation’ link on the planning application details here http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/ccm/support/Main.jsp?MODULE=FolderView&ID=465964951&CODE=4F195919839F8E6985C85EC1A42643AE&NAME=Supporting_Documentation&REF=P14/S3841/FUL and scroll down to the heritage and archaeology reports.
Thanks for the details Lisa. Towersey Fringe now added to the events listing.
Hi Sonja
I hope you are well.
I notice that the Towersey Fringe event at Towersey Playing Fields on 30th August isn’t listed under the events section on thame.net
The details can be found at http://www.towerseyfringe.co.uk
How do I go about getting our event listed please?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Lisa
I’m sorry about the links problem Eric. They certainly worked when tested before the post went live yesterday, so a bit of a mystery. It could have been a temporary problem with SODC’s website. I’ve remade the links and they seem to be working OK now. Do let me know if you continue to have problems. SF
Hello Sonja,
the link on this page, https://www.thame.net/archives/21627#comments to the Archaeological evaluation, http://tiny.cc/kz9g1x, doesn’t seem to work. It gives a ‘Bad Security Code’ message. Any chance you could fix this?
Will do Claire.
Hi Sonja.

Does O2 consider Thame a third-world country? The evidence is in and the answer is ”Not even that Highly”.
For Thame residents and visitors on which the O2 network is inflicted (and I use the term advisedly, the O2 network hasgiven poor or no coverage for weeks. O2’s reason? The O2 live coverage checker states:
”Sorry a phone mast close to you isn’t working. Sorry, there’s a mast near you that isn’t working and we’re waiting for our third party supplier to visit the site to fix the problem. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
Frankly I donlt care that they use a sub-contractor – that is the servoice provider’s issue and not mine.
Are you affected? Well – you should certainly know by now!
This affects all networks that use O2, and that includes Giff Gaff and Tesco Mobile. While this is outside the ‘phone service providers control (unless you are contracted directly with O2 of course), it is still up to the service provider to press the network provider to deliver.
What should you do if you are affected?:
1) Complain to your ‘phone service provider.
2) Set a firm deadline to get this fixed or you will leave and request compensation. I said a week, but out of grace will give them up to 2 weeks,
3) Confirm by email and let https://www.thame.net know; let’s get some idea of how many are affected.
4) If (when I suspect) you are ready to “walk” then see Which on cancellation (LINK BELOW) – and dont forget to get a PAC code’if you want to keep your number, you may also want to get your mobile unlocked – so check first’on YOUR cancellation options.
http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/problem/i-keep-losing-mobile-phone-signal-in-my-home-what-can-i-do
To the Editor: can we try to get an official statemnt from the servide provider here?
Signed: Gloran
Thame O2 mast has been down for 7 days now, a lot of unhappy people on Facebook, we all keep getting told something different!!!! The last thing I was told it should be working last night at 6pm, earlier in the week I got told it was working fine & it was low because of the useage, get it sorted O2 stop fobbing us off
Thank you for letting me know Beth. I’ve removed The Croft from our accommodation page

Just email me the details/press release and a nice picture to: Editor@thame.net
How can I announce info about this years National Garden Scheme (NGS) Thame Open Gardens charity event on your site?
Hi Sonja, are we newsworthy raising money for Alzheimers disease by running in our pants. That is the Can You Navigate Thame running club (because we have a seriously convoluted route around Thame in winter to stay under street lights. We run every Tuesday and meet at the Falcon for rehydration! Photos available if it helps…
Will do Sue.
Hi Sonja
I wondered if you would put our Sugarcraft meeting on your events page please.

We meet at the Girl Guide Hall,Southern Rd,Thame,on the second
Saturday of each month.
This month (13th) we have a demonstration on Vanda Orchids.

Hi, do email me with all the details – editor@thame.net – and I’ll take a look. Are you from Thame Lesley?
Hi – would you like to do an article about my Welsh cob mare who won and was Reserve Champion at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday? I am a secretary at the JR and an amateur owner so to do so well at one of the largest shows in the country against the professionals is quite a feat, but I did have to ask a friend to take her in the ring for me due to my recent slipped disc! Have lots of pics if you are interested?
Seems to have been linked to your old website address. I have now updated the link to the club’s current web address.
Hi Sonja,
The link to Thame Cinema doesn’t work on your community page.
Cheers
Tony
Hi Sonja, It would be good if you could put a article on your website about how many votes electors can have as many people I have talked to have been confused by one election leaflet stating that they have twelve votes.
The position as I understand it is you can vote for the following-
One vote for a M.P.
Upto three votes for S.O.D.C. Councillors.
Upto eight votes for the Thame Town Councillors
Electors do not have to vote for three S.O.D.C. if they just want to vote for one.
Electors do not have to vote for eight Thame Town Councillors if they just want to vote for just one.
Regards Tom Wyse
Done! See ‘EVENTS’
Have you seen the latest news from Dwina ? http://www.robingibb.com/news/robins-memorial-headstone
I understand it’s an extension and the flat structure is only temporary scaffolding.
Hi Sonja
Please add our Summer Fayre to your events page.

In St Mary’s Church, Thame
Variety of stalls, including plants & refreshments.
Free Admission
Sonja – there is a huge great extension to a house in greenway being built. Today there is what can only be described as a “helipad” been built on the roof – if I have your direct email I can send pics. All the neighbours are up in arms about it. Just 5 neighbours were written to by SODC in September – all of whom objected. Planning ref: P14/S2971/HH-4 (SODC) where you can see the plans and responders comments. our neighbour, Thame Town Council and moreover SODC have let U.S. down very badly. We have been in our house for 33 years and most of the other residents have been long term too. The houses were built in around 1963 as 3 bed semis, but the house in question will be 5 beds with an annexe in a very tiny garden with the garage knocked down – going to look like a terraced house- greedy owner 🙁
Will do 🙂 …cheers Sonja!
Hi Pete, can I ask you to please send me a Press release with all the relevant information about the author and the book, and we’ll be very happy to spread the word about your book. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to research the website etc as I’m a one-woman-band here 🙂 Many thanks SF
Will do Kate. Will pop in this PM if that’s convenient?
Hi Sonia,

I have a letter addressed as shown below, dated 1855. I am trying to track down any possible relatives who might be interested in this letter:

If possible could you put me in touch with anyone in the area of the same last name? Thank you.

Hello,
You have re tweeted my tweet addressed to Barry Gibb about my approach to the grave of Robin Gibb, be finally honored with a headstone and I thank you. We hope to drag the case to the British press.
Almost three years that Robin passed away and was buried in the small cemetery of St. Mary’s Church and his grave looks like an anonymous resting place.
Almost three years Dwina and Robin-John GIBB, her son, tell fans around the world, Robin’s headstone is in process…
Already in 2013, Dwina stated that the headstone would be placed in summer 2014.
However, to date, it is not.
We all know the derived benefits of the famous Robin Gibb by the sect “Brahma Kumaris” to which Dwina Murphy / Gibb claims to belong.
http://www.brahmakumaris.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2118&f=25
The Prebendal, owned by Robin Gibb seems sadly, (to have) become the sanctuary of this, what we think is a (word redacted for legal reasons) dangerous cult.
We, fans of the Bee Gees and Robin Gibb are asking that an investigation be conducted seriously into this sad affair by the British press.
The Bee Gees became famous and rich thanks to their fans, so it is our legitimate right to claim a headstone in honor of Robin Gibb !!!
Thanks for your help,
Kind regards,
