Woldingham Village Event

When the organisers of the Woldingham village picnic and the Woldingham Association's 111th Anniversary celebrations got together there was only one threat to a great family day out - the weather! However suntan lotion was the order of the day and over 350 residents spent what one picnicker described as "a relaxing afternoon for family and community." Serenaded by the Oxted Silver Band attendees inspected a fine selection of veteran and vintage cars, played croquet or visited the Glebe pavilion to inspect memorabilia associated with the history of the Woldingahm Association. The theme of the exhibition was how The Association has over the years protected Woldingham and culminated in a map of Woldingham showing all proposed but refused development since circa 1910. The exhibition also covered specific campaigns such as The Proposed Channel Rail Link and the purchase of Marden Woods by residents for the Woodland Trust. After a relaxed luncheon with Pimms and smoked salmon much in evidence it was time for the Dog Show. With categories such as " The Scruffiest Dog" and "Dog and Owner Look Alike" Crufts does not have to worry. The show was a great success with the behaviour of the dogs prompting mirth and emotion. An enduring image of a small dog in the most obedient dog class, his lead gripped firmly in its jaws, performing perfectly without any involvement from the owner! As the Oxted band packed their instruments and the ladies raising money for the Glebe playground appeal raffled their remaining cakes there was a marked reluctance by most to end what had been a perfect day. >Click here for the full photo album by Sue Edwards

1st Woldingham Scout Group

1st Woldingham Scout Group have had a fantastic year so far, with over 35 children attending each week across the Beavers, Cubs & Scouts! We have organised action packed programmes for them all and have just taken on a new Cub Leader, but are looking for more uniformed and non-uniformed assistance to cover all areas. There is no age restriction!
Please can you contact John Andrews on 01883 731 592 or Andy Parr on 01883 340000.

Station Parking Survey Results

Thank you to those residents who completed the survey. Regrettably there wasno clear concensus on the way forward and no clear mandate for any action. Not even for the already agreed increase in yellow lines in the station bell mouth and Woldingham Road.
Only 29 (32%) of respondents would “support” or “strongly support” the most
popular choice of attempting to buy land next to the existing TDC Car Park. Click here for the full survey results.

Low flying jets over Woldingham

All residents are encouraged to complain to Biggin Hill Airport about low flying jets over Woldingham. The airport "hotline" to call is 01959 578580. The more of us that call the better as it will add pressure to the formal protests sent by the Parish Council.

New Royal Mail Postal Scam

This has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:

A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk or the local trading standards office.

Do you have an alarm?

We have been asked to remind you that if you have any sort of alarm it is a legal requirement to register the key holders of your property.
