Are you paying too much for your oil?
You may wish to consider using the Oil Club.
The Oil-Club is the leading heating oil club in the UK with over 3,000 clubs and over 2.5 million litres ordered each month. By grouping our club orders into much larger group orders, they save their members £100’s on the cost of heating oil each year. And it’s easy, simply add you order and they do the rest!
“Reduce the cost of your heating oil
The cost of keep your home warm has risen dramatically over the last few years. How can The Oil-Club help? We not only group your order with others in your local club but we also group other clubs orders around you! Therefore a club with 6,000 to 10,000 litres will be joined with other local clubs in a delivery area to make one large bulk order. The results are orders of hundreds of thousands of litres at a time. We request pricing from companies who deliver in your area, ensuring you receive the best deal. As our membership grows so does the negotiating power of the club. In many areas we now order twice a month and in some areas three times a month during the busier months, ensuring you never need to miss out on a group order.
The club can help your own cash flow by allowing you to order smaller amounts 4 times a year but still benefit from the bulk pricing.
… and, due to order levels, we now order twice a month for around 85% of the UK, so you never need to miss an order! Regeister to see your next order dates.”
There is a club for Poynings so head over to http://www.oil-club.co.uk/ and find out more (It’s free)
If you are running very low and may run out The Oil Club may be too slow, so it may be worth using your usual supplier or you can try:

Poynings Pantomime
It’s that time of year when Poynings starts to prepare for the world famous Pantomime again!
So, if you want to get involved, in any capacity, now is the time to say so, there will be a meeting in the Royal Oak next Friday the 12th September at 8pm for anyone interested.
As you know, the pantomime is to raise money for our lovely Church which would struggle without the support of the village.
It isn’t just people to “act” that are needed. If you have any skills that you think might be useful it would be great to have you on board. Things like, making costumes, choreography, make up etc. Just come along even if you are not sure.
There will then be a casting in the Oak on the 25th September and initial rehearsals will take place every Thursday in the Oak and more and more often the nearer it gets!
The Pantomime is Aladdin and will take place on the 9th 10th and 11th of January 2015.
Hope to see you there, don’t be shy, you know you want to J.

West Sussex County Council – Survey
Hi
If you want to have an influence on where your money goes then do this Survey!
___________________
West Sussex County Council’s – What matters to you? Survey
As you may be aware, in February 2015 West Sussex County Council will set its budget for the forthcoming year.
Over the next seven weeks the council will be embarking on a county wide consultation asking people what matters to them when it comes to what council services are most important to them and how much council tax they are willing to pay to fund them.
Over the past four years we’ve seen a 28% reduction in the money we get from central government – a similar story for many of our district and borough colleagues I know. We have had to make some big changes to protect our key services, while we reduce our running and management costs. We’ve managed to save £120 million in those four years and we’ve done it without increasing our share of council tax. We are trying very hard to maintain or improve upon this next year.
With the ever increasing demand for services and the reduction in grants from government the gap between what we need to provide and the cost to pay for it is widening and we anticipate we’ll need to make a further saving of £120m over the next four years.
To make sure that we align our budgets with services that are most needed and requested by residents we are running our ‘What matters to you?’ survey and we’d like to reach as many residents and partners as possible. I am hoping that you will be able to support our survey by completing it and encouraging those people you work with and who live in your areas to do the same.
We will use the results to help ensure that we set a budget that reflects what our partners, communities and residents tell us is most important to them.
The survey is available online at www.westsussex.gov.uk/whatmatters or paper copies can be picked up from our libraries and children and family centres. If you are happy to carry the link on your websites or hold some paper copies in your council offices we would be very grateful and can supply them.
Please feel free to contact me or one of the team for further details on 03302 222416.

Poynings Fun Day
Well, it did rain a bit on Monday for Poynings Fun Day didn’t it.
Still the hardy amongst us still made it and braved the elements.
The kids had a great time racing in the hall.
Thanks Sheila for organising it all, well done.
Here are some pictures of the brave from Mike Airey.
South Team Ready and willing.
North Team Ready (Just give us a minute until it stops raining!).
The winners!!!!!! (and it was uphill).
However, on inspecting the photos I see that there is not a line on the
ground which the mark on the rope has to cross for there to be a winner!
So, must be a draw then 😉
But, there are penalties for showing stomachs, so North win!!
Good try lads!
