Headington Library could close?

I see Oxfordshire County Council is proposing that Headington’s well-used library could close under spending proposals to cut and reorganise local government services.

 The question is what action are we locals prepared to take to prevent such closures. For instance do we take over the running of such services, if the Government is not prepared to provide the Council with the funds required to fund such services.

Travesties in the Simpkins Lee Theatre at Lady Margaret Hall.

Tuesday 14 December to Saturday 18 December.

Oxford, Wednesday 17 November –  Oxford Theatre Guild will break new ground when they perform for the first time at Oxford’s newest theatre in December. They will stage Tom Stoppard’s comedy Travesties in the Simpkins Lee Theatre at Lady Margaret Hall. Travesties is a laugh out loud high speed romp, turning actual historical events on their head in the search for truth about the nature of art and its wider importance. It is one to add to the list of nights out in Oxford during the festive season. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Oxford-Theatre-Guild.html
