Theale ~Oil Group - coordinator required

Friday, 11 May 2012 09:25 | Written by V B-H |

Due to various new and ongoing commitments I do not have any free-time left to run our village oil buying group, so I'm asking around if anyone would like to take over. We have enjoyed 10 buying sessions and it would be a pity if it simply stopped.

From a time commitment point of view for the 3 oil runs we do each year it takes me in total about 1-2 days per run to collect orders via the internet and on the 'phone, handle enquiries etc which includes a good half a day on the day ring around suppliers. The existing group has 120 households on the list, most are on email and about 20 that I ring. No real skills involved but being organised helps and being able to negotiate with suppliers would be a plus!

If you are at all interested in taking it on please let me know Vanessa 712286

Perhaps its stuck in the back of your shed?

Perhaps in the garage taking up useful home brew space.....

Thinking of taking it to the tip?

This year Tom has decided to step to one side and let someone else enjoy the limelight! Please welcome 'Cyrilian', click on their logo which appears on every page of the site and see who they are and what they do.

All of our 2010/11 adverts are now up for renewal, many of you have renewed already but if you haven't renewed and wish to do so please send me your cheque for £40 made payable to Theale Village Hall, to Wood Farm Theale BS28 4SL.

All our advertising revenue goes directly to the village hall.

Theale Broadband Speed Survey

A number of villagers still seem to suffer from slow Broadband speeds in Theale, so we thought it would be a good idea to gather some data and see if we can lobby BT to do something about it.

All we ask is that you run a completely free Broadband Speed Test (supplied by SpeedTest.net) and record your results in a simple form. You can take speed readings and submit them as often as you like - and preferably at different times in the day. Speedtest.net also records each speed reading you take so you can build up your own history for your own line too.

Soon you'll be able to see if you have a specific problem when your neighbours say they've got a blistering 6.5 megabits speed and your broadband is crawling along at 1.5 megabits. Or you can use it as a topic of conversation at the next Theale Community Cafe.... (" Oh, I see Snakes Lane is suffering with 0.8 megabits speed this month. Of course, we have 6.5 in Latcham. How about you?" )

We'll gather the results and publish them monthly on Theale.ws. We can then see if we have a problem and agree what to do about broadband speeds

Chimney Sweeps

Thursday, 06 October 2011 18:53 | Last Updated on Sunday, 27 November 2011 12:21 | Written by V B-H |

sooty chimneys yes 42 chinmeys took part in the village chimney sweeping day, infact the chimney sweep had so many to do that it was probably 3 days work for him. If you have booked the chimney sweep through this local scheme you should have had your chimney swept by now or it's booked up to be done within the next couple of weeks, if not let me know and I can chase it for you. Getting on for £70 was raised for the village hall.
