Bampton Morris Dancers: Orbituary for Colin Bathe and David John Titchener
Article written by Keith Chandler about these two Morris Men.
Colin and ‘Curly’ (D.J. Titchener) came over to Bampton quite by accident, knowing nothing about its Morris dance tradition. They went into The Jubilee and started chatting to landlord Reg Pratley, telling him what they were interested in. Within a few minutes he was singing to them, mainly snatches, one being ‘Butter and Cheese and All’. He then produced sheets on which the words were written: Peter Kennedy had given them to him! Reg took them across to the Eagle, where Frank Purslow and Francis Shergold used to play in the bar.

Historic RAF Flight powered by Cooking Oil
Article written by Miranda Norris for the Oxford Mail reporting on the air-to-air refuelling flight – powered by approximately 43 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) flew from RAF Brize Norton. The voyager aircraft was run by a blend of fossil fuels and even cooking oil.
