The course is suitable for a range of experience levels\, from complete beginners to those who have been using a scythe but feel that it could be working better for them. \n\n\n\nThe structure of the day will be as follows: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction and familiarisation\n\n\n\nSetting up an Austrian scythe\n\n\n\nMovement and technique\n\n\n\nMowing practice\n\n\n\nSharpening in the field\n\n\n\nMaintenance and peening of the blade\n\n\n\nThere will be a break for lunch at 12.30pm\n\n\n\n\nThe scythe is a highly efficient tool and is regarded as the appropriate technology for a wide variety of situations\, much wider than many would think\, from meadows and reedbeds to allotments and lawns\, in professional and amateur contexts. In addition to its efficiency\, versatility\, outstanding green credentials\, and health benefits for both body and mind\, the scythe is an extremely cost-effective tool. Once set up with a basic kit no further outlay is required\, and maintenance is simple and enjoyable. \n\n\n\nAbout the tutor \n\n\n\nNicole Clough is a Scythe Teacher and regional contact for the Scythe Association of Britain & Ireland. Find out more. \n\n\n\n“I train because I’m passionate about everyone getting a good initial experience with scything. The scythe has had bad press over recent years\, the main implications being that they are hard work\, cause backache\, and are less efficient than their machine equivalents. Yet the truth is quite the opposite. They are easy and a pleasure to use once the basic principles are understood; in fact\, many people fall in love with scything once they have tried it.” \n\n\n\nCourse details \n\n\n\nPlease arrive in time for a 10.00am start. The course is expected to finish by 4.30pm. \n\n\n\nThere will be a break for lunch. Due to the nature of the training\, the course will be held outside in the paddocks and meadow at Cogges\, therefore please wear or bring suitable clothing\, weather protection and stout footwear. Cogges Kitchen cafe will be open from 9.00am\, last orders at 4.00pm.  \n\n\n\nCosts \n\n\n\n6 places are available on this course. \n\n\n\nThe cost of the training is £110 per person\, including lunch.  Refunds are available only if we re-sell your place. \n\n\n\nMost attendees prefer to purchase an Austrian scythe in advance to set up and learn during the course. However\, Nicole has a limited number of training scythes that can be borrowed\, but this must be by prior arrangement\, and an additional hire cost of £20 will apply (contact Nicole in advance at https://joyofscything.uk/contact/). \n\n\n\nAttendees need only the basic Austrian scythe setup\, to include the following: \n\n\n\n\nSnath plus handles\n\n\n\nBlade (for grass and non-woody vegetation)\n\n\n\nScythe ring\n\n\n\nAllen key\n\n\n\n10mm spanner\n\n\n\nSharpening stone (canoe)\n\n\n\nStone sheath or suitable container to hold sharpening stone and water\n\n\n\nWork gloves to use whilst sharpening\n\n\n\n\nRecommended suppliers: Simon Fairlie – Supplier of Austrian Scythes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\n£110.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 14 June 2025 at 10.00am \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n6 hours 30 minutes\, including a lunch break \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nOutside in the paddocks and meadow URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/joy-of-scything-summer-workshop-at-cogges/2025-06-14/ LOCATION:Cogges Manor Farm\, Witney\, Church Lane\, Witney\, Oxfordshire\, OX28 3LA CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Scything-Workshop.webp GEO:51.7848825;-1.4762596 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cogges Manor Farm Witney Church Lane Witney Oxfordshire OX28 3LA;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Church Lane:geo:-1.4762596,51.7848825 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T120000 DTSTAMP:20260420T215216 CREATED:20250212T201636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250802T110659Z UID:10010219-1749898800-1749902400@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Inside the Oxford Town Hall DESCRIPTION:Inside the Oxford Town Hall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Inside the Oxford Town Hall\n\n\n\nJoin the Museum of Oxford as they take you on a tour around Oxford’s magnificent Town Hall. \n\n\n\nYou will see the Court Room and the Council Chamber.

A great sin – a mortal sin – for which I must die and go to hell – but it made me free! One moment I was free!’ \n\n\n\nThe city. A woman is restless. Women are suffocating. Women are silenced. A woman revolts. \n\n\n\nMachinal is a pulse-pounding journey of women pushed to breaking point by the relentless machinery of patriarchy\, life\, expectation\, and convention. Sophie Treadwell’s play written in 1928\, updated to 2025\, in Mandala Young Company’s version\, is as relevant today as it was then. It is a gripping exploration of societal norms\, female identity\, and the consequences of rebellion. \n\n\n\nInspired by the real-life case of convicted and executed murderer Ruth Snyder\, the play delves into the life of a young woman caught in the machinery of a rigid and oppressive society. \n\n\n\nThe play is written in eight episodes depicting ‘the different phases of life that a woman comes in contact with\, and in none of which she finds any place\, any peace’. Each episode titles the location of the social institution or the type of behaviour still expected of women in the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThis is not just a play – it’s a warning\, a mirror\, and a rallying cry. Machinal confronts the quiet suffocation of expectation and the loud silence of being unheard. In a world still grappling with gender roles and systemic control\, this story—told through a bold\, modern lens—asks the question: What happens when a woman has no room left to breathe? \n\n\n\nCome for the powerful storytelling. Stay for the uncomfortable truths. Leave changed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the critics say\n\n\n\n\n“Poignant and beautiful writing! Loved the message.” \n\n\n\nSOAS Student \n\n\n\n\n\n“Such a brilliant performance. Such emotion was conveyed.” \n\n\n\nSOAS Student \n\n\n\n\n\n“The performers were genuinely believable characters.
