Astons’ Playground Redevelopment
For those that were unable to make the Open Morning in February we wanted to try and present the plans for the Astons’ Playground Redevelopment. In summary:
Please be aware that all the proposals cost £30-40,000, so there is a limitation to just how much we can do. We are working hard to gain grant funding to help deliver this project, for which your support is essential.
We would love your thoughts on these plans. If you could complete the attached questionnaire and email to joannaandchris@btinternet.com or drop into The Gate House on Aston Street, we would be very grateful. Alternatively, if you are keen to support the Redevelopment of the Playground, we would be very grateful if you would complete a support form and email to joannaandchris@btinternet.com or drop into The Gate House on Aston Street.

We will keep the website and the Village News updated with progress, but if you have any questions in the meantime, please email to joannaandchris@btinternet.com. Joanna Hart & Bob Picken on behalf of ARC (Astons Recreation Committee)
THE ASTONS COMMUNITY WIFI PROJECT - BT RACE TO INFINITY
We are pleased to say that SODC have recently approved in full the grant application made by the Village Hall Management Committee for £8,000 towards the Astons Wifi and Online Initiative.
This grant, together with the BT Race to Infinity prize of £3,000, means that the project team have nearly reached the total project cost, and therefore it is hoped that installation can commence once the outcome of outstanding grant applications to the Nominet Trust and the parish councils is known. Please see village newsletter for more details.

This year's ASTONATHLON will be held ON SUNDAY 6TH MAY 2012 and we have decided to raise the challenge and make it an OLYMPIC ASTONATHLON. It will still be a 10km run but we have increased the cycle to 40km.The format will stay the same, starting and finishing at the pub.You can do the whole lot or either run or cycle in a team.
