From the desk of active members of the Charing Heating Oil Club:
If you require heating oil, Join The Club today. Its free and easy to join and you will save money. The Oil Club is the fastest growing heating oil syndicate in the UK with over 350 village clubs. Why should you join us?
Reduce the rising cost of your heating oil
How much will it cost to keep your home warm this year? Probably a lot more than last year! How can the Heating Oil Club help? By grouping our deliveries by village or postcode sector and the bulk purchase ability of the club, we are able to negotiate with suppliers the best bulk purchase price for heating oil and pass on the saving to our members. As the membership grows so does the negotiating power we have! We request pricing from all companies who deliver in your area, ensuring you receive the best deal in town!
The club can help your own cash flow by allowing you to order smaller amounts 4 times a year but still benefit from the bulk pricing.

Charing Heating Oil Club has recently been added to the growing list of rural villages and you can join today, for free!

As part of Charing Surgery's commitment to your health and wellbeing, CBA-member Yvonne Fernando, NLP Master Practitioner & Life Coach, will be giving some interesting short talks at the Surgery.
Come and listen to these interesting subjects and see how some changes can have a big impact on your wellbeing and life.
Yvonne will explain why diets don’t give you the results you want in the long term and what you can do to end up looking good and feeling good too.
If you suffer from any of these you will know how much they can hold you back. Yvonne will explain how these can be overcome quicker than you may think is possible so that you can live a more happy and complete life.
The world seems to be getting more pressurized. Stress can have a big negative impact on your health and wellbeing. Yvonne will give you some simple and valuable tips and techniques on better ways to manage stress and get more from your time and your life.
These talks are FREE to attend, will be held in the Seminar Room at the Surgery and last approximately an hour.

The play will be performed from Wednesday to Saturday, November 16th to 19th at 7.30pm in the Church Barn
Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama about the bond between a group of southern women in north-west Louisiana. It was written by Robert Harling, based on his experience of the death of his sister. The title suggests that the female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing about as the drama opens.
There was a play reading for Steel Magnolias in The Church Barn during August and this has now been cast:
It will be directed by Michael Headley.
Tickets £7 (Students £6) go on sale from November 7th at Wood You Like, School Road - during opening hours.
Do note: tickets must be paid for on collection - this also applies for reserved tickets (before the 7th through friends and families of the Guild).
No tickets can be left at the door and/or paid for on the evening.

Since January 2009 this CharingKent website has been at the disposal of Charing village (and Charing Hill) local organisations, local businesses to have their activities published to attract attention, more visitors, etc.
After receiving a few questions - and even one accusation after refusing to publish a political viewpoint - I would like to take this opportunity to make a few things clear - for the record:
I am NOT being paid by the Parish Council to host, design or manage this website.
I - officially we = Wood You Like Ltd - decided in January 2009 to launch this website because, in our opinion, the village of Charing was missing an essential modern simple communication tool to list all local activities and the many businesses Charing is so fortunate to have.
Plus it was also one way of "giving something back" to the lovely village and all its residents for making us feel very welcome when we arrived here in May 2000 as total strangers. We truly love being part of this lively and lovely community (albeit it since Summer 2010 only with our business; unfortunately, due to various circumstances - one being the demolition of "our" home of 8 years - we had to move house and are now living in nearby Eastwell Park).
Every local (none-commercial) organisation knows their activities in Charing village/Charing Hill will be published when details are submitted to me (just shoot me an email or drop by with your info in our showroom). This website has an ever growing number of "subscribers" who receive an email the day a new article is published and at the moment the counter stands at 110 people, some living as far away as Canada.
When the Charing Business Association (CBA) was launched in Spring 2009, all members had the CBA logo inserted in front of their listing on the business directories and any CBA activities, plans are published also.
Any local organisation (for the village) can submit their details which are and will be published on the local organisation pages.
All for free and we wouldn't want it/have it any other way.
However, it is beyond the idea and scope of this website to publish:
There are plans afoot to purchase an official Charing Parish Council website, which - and I must stress this - has absolutely nothing to do with this well known, well found on all search engines and in our opinion well loved Charing website, by and for the village community.
Therefore, no changes to the structure, welcomed input or listings will take place here if and when the official Parish Council website comes to being.
www.charingkent.co.uk (hosted, designed, managed and sponsored by Wood You Like Ltd) has the full intention to continue to be an independent and impartial modern village publication board.
(And it always gives me the greatest pleasure to hear from local organisations that the articles are contributing in their own little way to the success of any of the activities organised.)
So, please don't ask - or demand, as happened this week - for articles to be published which are definitely beyond the idea and scope of this site.
All other articles are as welcome as they ever were!
Kindest regards
Karin Hermans
