A collaboration between Axminster Tool Centre and the college, it offered a rare treat for students and the wider woodworking community and was attended by craftsmen from the USA. Visitors grabbed the chance to try their hand at a wide range of activities such as rasp- ing, planing and sawing. Rycotewood programme manager Chris Hyde said: This has been such a winning collaboration. We ve had the opportunity to share the special history of fur- niture-making here at the col- lege and promote our excellent courses. The award-winning work of our students gets a whole new audience and the centre bene- fits from some extremely fine new tools, thanks to Axminster.

Districts streets are very safe says Cllr A SCHEME to tackle the fear of crime in north Oxfordshire has been launched by Cherwell District Council. Called Cherwell Together, the initiative aims to dispel myths about the level of crime in the area and promote understanding between different parts of the community. Council chiefs are worried national news stories about inner-city violence or unrest do not reflect life on the district s streets. Cllr Nigel Morris, portfolio REPORT BY Ric Sumner newsyouroxfordshire.co holder for community safety, street scene and rural services, said: This coverage can often lead to the mistaken belief that there is a thug around every corner. The stories we hear often involve gangs of youths and can affect our perceptions of all young people. But in reality, the streets of Cherwell are very safe in com- parison with many other parts of the country. And perhaps we, as council- lors, need to be more vocal about our efforts to tackle those issues which do exist. The council has booked a series of ads on local radio to tackle negative perceptions of young people and is promoting the work it does with other groups to tackle crime and anti- social behaviour. One of the groups is Azad Hill Football Club in Banbury, which preaches the three T s toler- ance, togetherness and team- work and works with young footballers from all backgrounds. Club spokesman Jon Reglar said: I truly believe in being part of the solution, not just pointing out the problems. It is proven that without the activities we provide at Azad Hill and other clubs like us, cer- tain young people are at risk from other negative influences. "We struggle to get the normal parental support that other clubs we play and come across take for granted. Young people need role mod- els and need to understand their role in their community. Ignoring them or alienating them cannot lead to a positive result for anyone. The council and Thames Valley police form the Cherwell Safer Communities Partnership, which has also launched a website pro- viding a wealth of community safety information in one place. For more information on the partnership, visit www.cherwell csi.org Come and Explore Oxfordshire VISITOR attractions across the county are gearing up to kick- start the new tourist season at a special event showcasing the best of what Oxfordshire has to offer. The second Explore Oxfordshire exhibition will take place at the 18th Century Heythrop Park Resort in Enstone, West Oxfordshire, on Monday 15 March, 10.30am to 3pm. The event coincides with the start of national British Tourism Week and more than 40 Oxfordshire attractions are exhibiting. These range from major venues such as Cotswold Wildlife Park, Blenheim Palace and Didcot Railway Centre, to smaller tourism businesses, con- ference centres and hotels, and leisure facilities.

The event is supported by Tourism South East, the region s official tourist board. All are welcome to attend the free event. Visitors will be able to speak to the people who own or manage the attractions and find out what is happening in Oxfordshire in 2010. Cllr Hilary Biles, West Oxfordshire District Council s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism, said: Following on from the success of last year s Explore Oxfordshire, this year s event looks set to be bigger and better.
