The Parish Council entered East Hendred in the Calor Oxfordshire Villages of the Year Competition 2007, and presented our exhibit at Kennington Village Hall on 18th August. Our stand included photographs of the village, leaflets for many village organisations and samples of local produce. The competition is organised by the Oxfordshire Rural Community Council and has taken the place of the highly popular Best Kept Village competition. The Parish Council had completed a comprehensive questionnaire about village life and organisations in advance of the judging event. The event was highly competitive, but very friendly, providing a good opportunity to see what other villagers in Oxfordshire are doing to enhance their community and environment, and tell them and the competition judges about East Hendred.
We are very pleased to have been Highly Commended for Communication, as shown in the certificate!
