The October 2020 issue of the newsletter from the Oxfordshire village of Launton, published in print and distributed to every household in the village, and online through issuu.com. This 48-page issue contains a four-page insert on the village Scarecrow Trail to run between 10 and 18 October as a fundraiser for St. Mary’s Church, with a location map for all 42 entries.
The cover shows members of the working party in the Island Pond Wood raking grass from the meadow area at the top of the woodland. There is also the regular Parish Council report; the 81st contribution from The Ex-Launton Boy; a report from StoneLily Salon on how they reopened the hairdresser; the story of the Launton-based FEAST catering business that went from doing corporate platters to take-home Picnics and Cream Tea Boxes in the shadow of the Covid-19 lockdown and is getting 5* reviews. There is also a humourous look at what Launton needs to do to avoid a selective Covid-19 lockdown. And reports of village organisations returning to life.
