A message from Caroline Dowling, Chair of Flower Show committee
Thank you to the Binfield Heath community, to our wonderful village and the wider community everyone who came out to support the Binfield Heath Flower and Dog Show, even in what turned out to be a very wet day. Your presence means so much. This traditional show is an important part of our village’s identity, and your support helps ensure it continues for many years to come.
We are deeply grateful to all the volunteers who made the show possible. From the set-up team on Wednesday, to those who baked cakes, to every helper on the day itself, and to the dedicated group who returned on Sunday morning to pack everything away — you are the reason this event can happen. If you’d like to volunteer again, please contact us.
A sincere thank you also to our sponsors: Southern Plant Hire, K9 Prime Cuts, Orwells, The Flowing Spring, Peppard Building Supplies, Reids Cleaners, Invesco plus of course the Phillimore family and Coppid Farm. Your support makes a tremendous difference.
Thank you also to the Anvil Car Club and all the local businesses who brought stalls, food and drinks — you add so much colour and enjoyment to the day. We are so grateful to Sam Brown and the Sonning Common Ukulele Band for opening the show, to Woodley Band for entertaining us and of course to the whole Dog Show team.
To the new people who have joined or will be joining the committee — thank you. And if we have missed anyone, please accept our apologies. You are all incredibly special, and we are proud of our amazing village.
Here’s to a dry year in 2027!
Caroline, Sarah and all the Binfield Heath Flower and Dog Show committee

Green or grey? How to get a brown bin… what goes in which? This year’s full calendar can be found on the Parish Council page of this website. More information can be found on SODC’s website on https://www.southoxon.gov.uk/south-oxfordshire-district-council/recycling-rubbish-and-waste/when-is-your-collection-day/waste-collections-calendar/
Potholes and broken signs
These are both an increasing problem. If you are aware of a pothole locally contact fixmystreet.com and give the area and if possible the address and postcode. It's the fastest way to get results. Similarly, if road names or speed signs are damaged, also report them to fixmystreet.com
Roadside rubbish
Fly-tipped rubbish continues to be a problem from time to time. It has to be collected by District Council contractors at considerable extra cost to the taxpayer. If you see fly-tipping - or the results of it - report it online to admin.southoxford@biffa.co.uk
