Oxley Woods Big Lunch a big success

June 18, 2011

The first Oxley Woods Big Lunch took place a little while back, and it was an all out success.

Members of the community, both long standing and more recently settled residents came together, despite the dubious weather, and a jolly good time was had by all, young and old!

Many thanks must go to the team of people who helped put the day together, I hope you all feel very proud of your contribution to our fledgling community!

You can check out some photos of the day via our Flickr link at the top of the page, and even more over at a fellow resident’s flickr page.

Setting up for those wanting to take part starts at 12pm. Festivities begin from around 12:30pm.

Bring your own food/BBQ/drink… Anything you’d like to contribute. All residents should have had a leaflet through the door from the organisers.

Let’s hope the weather is good! :D

Discussion, as ever, in the Oxley Woods forum.

Oxley Woods big lunch

May 22, 2011

Plans are afoot in Oxley Woods, and this time not of the scheming house-builder kind. Residents are clubbing together to organise an Oxley Woods Big Lunch.

If you’re interested in joining in, please make a visit to the residents’ forum and see what you can do to take part, even if it’s just a case of bringing yourself along to join in!

Ivan Harbour of RSH+P has his say

March 13, 2011

Ivan Harbour from architects RSH+P, designers of the Oxley Woods housing we all know and love, has written an in depth, interesting, and somewhat encouraging letter to all concerned with the future of Oxley Woods. The letter is addressed to residents, but contains information and points of view I am sure will be of interest to many.

The letter, in its original PDF format is attached to this post. Ivan Harbour Letter to Oxley Woods Residents

Snow at Oxley Woods

December 19, 2010

Well, Oxley Park seems to be one of the frostier spots in and around Milton Keynes. So we’ve been out playing!

Rather than talk about what fun we had, how the houses look great against the white snow, and what amazing views we have a very short walk from our front doors, I thought I’d just post up some more photos. A picture’s worth a thousand words after all.
