Theale Oil Group -  FEB '12 ON LINE ORDERING IS NOW LIVE!

Please use this quick easy online ordering if you can as it's a very time efficient way of collecting your orders.

You can now place your order via this website – simply fill out the quick form and it should always send you a receipt to confirm your order, if it doesn't please let me know.  Please remember to take advantage of this scheme you must live within the Parish of Theale Somerset.

As this is our 10th run I am suggesting donations from any of you who have enjoyed savings in the past, this is an opportunity to donate a small amount equivalent to just £1 per syndicate delivery to our local village hall.

The group remains a totally free locally co-ordinated buying group for over 120 households, without the group, access to cheaper heating oil through another similar buying group would cost in the region £2,500 every year on subscriptions.

The minimum order you can place per household is now 500 litres.

Those members not wishing to order online or those with no Internet access can still place an order when I do my ringing around. 

If you've not used TOG before,  there's much more information here

If you happen to reside outside this area please contact me and I can help you start your own group!  Or find out more about Theale Oil Group

The Green Man

Must have been a good evening - we ran out of Potholer!

See you all next time The Green Man opens, until then Merry Merry Christmas!

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

Want to try?

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.
