Film "Escape from Tibet"
2025-01-18 14:30 | Main hall
Following the visit of the Tashi Lhunpo monks to Sibford last October, many people asked if there was a possibility of showing the entire documentary film Escape from Tibet that the director / producer Nick Gray and colleagues so movingly discussed. So here it is!
Nick will be present to introduce the 50-minute film, made in 1994 for ITV. It is an astonishing, true record of endurance that follows 11 year-old Tenzin’s efforts to flee the Chinese repression of his homeland, attempting the most dangerous escape route in the world over the Himalayas, led by his fearless brother, Pasang.
We’ll be scattering the remains of the monks’ sand mandala on the village hall field before the film, at about 2pm.
No charge, but a small contribution towards hire of the hall would be appreciated.
For more information, please contact Diana at dianahughesonline@gmail.com

An astonishing and emotionally gripping film.
Daily Mail
By turns heartbreaking and horrifying … this is documentary making of the highest order.
The Independent
Although the conditions for filming this documentary were extremely difficult, Escape from Tibet accurately conveys the experiences of the refugees. We are grateful to all who made this film possible.
Tempa Tsering. Secretary, Department of Information and International Relations, Government of Tibet.

Sibford Environmental Forum
2025-01-14 19:00 | Main hall
An open forum to discuss renewables and further environmental improvements in the Sibfords.
Tim Lunel, one of the founders of Hook Norton Low Carbon will talk about their success in developing an electric car club (open to members here), zero carbon housing and other initiatives.
Of particular interest to us will be the proposed development of Energy Local North Oxfordshire – a renewables microgrid extending from Epwell to Hook Norton via the Sibfords which will allow small-scale generators of solar power to connect to others to create a sustainable low-cost power source at the local level.
Many Sibford residents are already involved in or considering their own plans to lower emissions and reduce cost, and the aim of the forum would be to encourage sharing of knowledge and experience and identify one or two projects of community interest which could be developed to general benefit in the short term.
Everyone is encouraged to attend; there is no formal organising body as yet, but volunteers are warmly welcome. If you have experience or ideas you would like to talk about or have questions or proposals on the agenda, please contact Jan Thompson ( janthompson50@hotmail.com 01295 788 751 ) or Stephen Gomersall ( sjgomersall@hotmail.com 01295 788 911 ).
Please let Jan or Stephen know by email if you are planning to attend.
