Witney's flag
2:55pm Monday 12th May 2008
A NEW flag has been hoisted above Witney's town hall.
It carries the motif of the town's coat of arms, a lamb and flag, and will be flown on special days marking events in the local calendar.
Ex-town mayor Chrissie Curry has invited suggestions from residents about special days, and ones already put forward include May Day dancing on Church Green, a Witney feast, Witney Carnival, and the switching on of the town's Christmas Lights.
It is the first time a dedicated Witney flag, paid for by an anonymous sponsor, has been hoisted. The Union Jack and St George's flags will still be flown.

Far From the Madding Crowd preview: Oxford Playhouse
Staging a an epic work such as Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd is an enormous challenge — but director Kate Saxon is convinced she can bring this story of love and loss to life without presenting pastoral cuteness or melodramatic hysteria. She promises there will be neither fluffy sheep nor windswept clinches in the English Touring Theatre’s production, at the Oxford Playhouse from Tuesday to next Saturday.
