Please give us a hand – Oak Trees in Inkpen
We need your help to measure oak trees. Measuring tree girths helps us to evaluate changes that have taken place in Inkpen and enable future researchers to evaluate the effect of climate change on tree growth and distribution. This is work of real value, be part of it. Go to inkpenhistory.uk to find out more

Pop-In-Cafe
We’re changing the opening dates for the café to the first and third Thursdays of each month, starting this December. This is to make it easier for residents to work out when it’s on. So, in November, the café will only be open on the 16th, but twice each month thereafter, always on the first and third Thursdays. Many thanks for your considerable support. Keep coming!

Going for a walk
If you want a breath of fresh air and some exercise, check out the Inkpen walks, but keep your distance from others, that's at least 6 feet apart in old money. If you feel that you should wear a face mask when outdoors, then checkout the design given on the News page.

On the news page this month there are a number of updates including from the Inkpen Primary School and pre-school, from the Playing field trust and Village Hall, and there's this months Police Report .

Climate change issues.
It WILL cost around £160 to capture 1 metric tonne of carbon from the atmosphere, when it's up and running. Forty mature oak trees (or Beech, Ash, Willow etc.) do that NOW if you just leave them alone. Each tree is doing a payback of £4 a year. They pay for their keep, help keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

We are depending on renewables to help us get to net-zero carbon emissions. If you'd like to see what contribution renewables are making on a daily basis, have a look here.
