Thames Valley Police - Water Safety Warning
This hot weather has
encouraged people to cool off in rivers, canals, ponds, quarries and
lakes. Please be mindful that this can be very dangerous.
Dangers of open water:
Dangers of open water:
- The water may look calm on the surface, but there can be strong undercurrents that could pull even a strong swimmer under the water.
- The water may feel warm on the surface, but just a few feet below the surface it can be icy cold. The cold water can affect stamina and strength of swimmers.
Key safety tips for staying safe near water:
- Alcohol and swimming do not mix! Stay out of the water if you have been drinking.
- Never let any children swim in unsupervised areas like quarries, canals or ponds.
- Never interfere with lifesaving equipment - you might need it yourself.
- Swimming anywhere other than at purpose built and supervised swimming pools is highly dangerous and is not recommended, unless as part of an organised club.
Parents please make sure your children are aware of the dangers!

Are you an Artist? Are you looking for a Summer Residency Programme?
Summer Residency Programme
Salary / Fee:
£150 materials fee / studio space provided in-kind
Closing Date:
Friday, 30 June, 2017
Following
the success of OVADA’s 2016 Summer Residency, we are offering free
studio space and a small materials fee for Oxfordshire artists to take
part in this year’s programme in August 2017. OVADA will select up to 4
artists at any stage of their career, including recent graduates.
The aim of this programme is to provide uninterrupted time and space for the development of new work in a stimulating creative environment. Residencies can be developed around a particular project, used as a way to experiment with new ways of working or to explore working on a larger scale in OVADA’s unique warehouse space.
The opportunity is open to contemporary visual artists in Oxfordshire demonstrating a serious commitment to their practice. This is a chance for artists to work independently in an alternative space. Priority will be given to creative practitioners who do not currently have a studio/production space and to those who can maximise usage of the space during the residency period.
The residency will provide time and space for research, experimentation, reflection, dialogue and creative risk-taking. It is important to note that there is no prescribed outcome for this residency; the opportunity is solely focused on the development of the artist’s practice rather than a completed artwork.
Residencies will take place at OVADA warehouse in central Oxford (14A Osney Lane, Oxford OX1 1NJ). The warehouse space will be loosely divided into areas based on individual artist’s needs. Please note that these are open workspaces in view of other residency artists and building-users. We anticipate that artists will informally exchange their knowledge and experiences with each other and meet OVADA’s studio artists/team in order to make new contacts.
Artists will receive £150 towards the cost of their materials at the start of the project, paid upon invoice, and will also receive free Associate Membership for one year.

AFF reassured about housing safety for Army families
AFF reassured about housing safety for Army families
Following
the tragic incident at Grenfell Tower in London, the Army families
Federation (AFF) has approached the Defence Infrastructure Organisation
(DIO), to clarify whether multi-storey Service Families Accommodation
(SFA) features any external cladding, which would potentially present a
fire risk.
Safety assured
DIO
checked the position of this issue and were able to inform AFF that
multi-storey buildings are predominantly brick construction. The
external wall insulation used on recent energy efficiency upgrades to
military housing has also been confirmed as meeting all relevant
building and fire regulations.
AFF
Housing Specialist Cat Calder said, “Ensuring the safety of our Army
families is paramount and AFF has received assurances of safety from all
relevant parties involved. DIO has also advised us that a review will
now be carried out of all non-habitable areas such as stairwells, plant
rooms and communal areas, to confirm the safety of the Army families
living there.”
Contact AFF
If
families are at all concerned about safety in their SFA, they should
contact housing maintenance and repairs contractor CarillionAmey (CA)
directly on 0800 707 6000 or contact AFF’s Housing Specialist Cat Calder
on housing@aff.org.uk
