Welcome to This Is Chinnor, THE site for Chinnor, a village in the foothills of the Chilterns.
We're a friendly village with lots of activities, sports and events. We created this website to help keep everyone up to date and to provide news and information about such activities and the community groups that organise and manage them. They let us know what's going on and we share this with everyone.
All local groups are welcome to promote their events with us, just get in touch and we'll put it on the site. Don't forget to send us a poster.
Local news is all around us and as almost everyone now carries a camera with them on their phone, they can take photos, are you a budding journalist? a cub reporter or just someone who happens to be in the right place at the right time? again just tell us the news and we'll share it here.
We hope you find the site useful but if you think there's something missing do please get in touch and we'll endeavour to add it. You can add comments to selected articles on the site and send us some feedback via our VISITORS BOOK.
Our monthly Climate Café takes place this Thursday 12th in Chinnor Village Centre from 10.30-11.30am and every second Thursday at the same times. It's a welcoming space for people (not just Chinnor residents) to join the conversation about climate change, nature and the environment. All are welcome.

Oxfordshire County Council received more than 80 applications for its priority action grants earlier this year from groups and organisations working to make their communities more resilient to flooding.
Following an assessment process, 39 schemes are being supported with grants of up to £25,000, subject to confirmation.
Councillor Judy Roberts Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Place, Environment and Climate Action, said: “The quality of submissions was extremely high, and we would have supported almost all the projects if we had enough money to do so.
“It is fantastic that these groups are so committed to improving the situation where they live. When it comes to knowing what is needed to tackle flooding in a particular area, local communities are often the experts.
“This grant scheme is now in its second year and is a part of our drive to help residents take effective action to tackle flooding and extreme weather, which is being exacerbated by climate change.”
Projects to be funded include ditch construction in Chinnor.
