For many years there has been a village scheme for buying heating oil. 

The current scheme is  administered by Rix.   Rix has a repution with boiler engineers for suppying good quality fuel.  Rix will offer a reduced price to syndicate members but a valuable consequence of the scheme is that HGV traffic and blocked roads are kept to a minimum - which benefits everyone in the village!   Rix offer their K+ and Aga variants , you may want to take advice from your boiler engineer about whether to pay extra for one of these variants.  

The syndicate operates as follows  (Feb, May, Aug and Nov) - 

1. The scheme is run by Rix and Rix will contact people during each ordering period (Feb, May, Aug and Nov) and invite them to place an order at a reduced price compared to their normal price.
   1. The government dictated minimum order of 500 litres applies.
2. People can join or leave the scheme at any time, please call Shiona on 01953 457057,  Shiona manages the Rix village syndicates and can help with any questions that arise.
3. Once a year, Rix donate a percentage of the total order value to the village.   The money is given to the trust that runs the village hall - which will help to support the activites there such as PreSchool and youth football. The following amounts have been raised -
   1. 2023 - £548
   2. 2024 - £635
