A Day in the Country - Upper Aynho Grounds AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY WINS AWARD
Aynho History Society has been awarded joint First Prize in a competition for local history societies run by Banbury Historical Society. The award is for research into the history of ironstone mining at Sydenham Quarry, between Aynho and Adderbury. Peter Brookfield completed the research in 2008. The judges commented: "We had a very strong field of candidates, with some excellent research being done. The finished article on Sydenham Quarry we liked very much and it will be published soon in Cake & Cockhorse, the magazine of the Banbury Historical Society."
Lord Saye & Sele will present the prize of £50.00 to Peter on Saturday 11th July at the AGM of Banbury Historical Society to be held in Edgecote House, near Wardington starting at 17.00. Members of AHS are welcome to attend. Peter has kindly decided to donate his prize to Aynho History Society funds.
We also submitted our research into Aynho Tunnels as a 'work in progress' and the judges commented, "It has potential for a future article or lecture."
Being a recently formed society we are delighted to have received this accolade and congratulate Peter on his success.

Aynho Parish Council, through its membership of the Rightracks Rural Road Safety Forum have secured 7 places for young Aynho residents, on each of the following courses:
- CarKraft Drive 16. A one-day pre-driving experience day at the Silverstone Circuit. This is a great opportunity for Aynho 16-year olds to learn to drive from experts at the Silverstone complex before they get their provisional licence. Details of the course are on the attached flier/competition entry form. The 7 winning 16 year old entries will secure the event places
- CarKraft Experience. A one-day driving experience day at the Silverstone Circuit for 17-24 year olds who already drive. The objective is for each participant to become a better, safer and more confident driver. Details of this event are again listed on the attached flier and competition entry form. The 7 winning 17-24 year old entries will secure the places at the event
Both Events will be run by the Northamptonshire Road Safety Partnership (Northants County Council and Northants Police) and will be staffed by qualified instructors. Both courses have been run before and have proved to be highly successful
