curridge oil group
This is a community initiative which has operated within the village for many years and is run by volunteer residents, Nick Collins and Kirsti Murray.
We place bulk orders of domestic heating oil on behalf of members, and can often achieve better prices due to the volumes we are ordering, saving residents hundreds of pounds a year on their heating bills.
Membership of the group is free and without obligation to all residents of Curridge.
If you would like to join and receive notifications of forthcoming orders, please *** REGISTER HERE ***
We aim to order three times a year and the next scheduled dates can be found below.
SCHEDULED ORDER DATES *** ORDER HERE ***
The next scheduled orders are shown below and orders must be received by 7pm the day before the order date:
>>> 21 FEB 2025
>>> 15 AUG 2025
>>> 05 DEC 2025
The last order was on the following date and is now closed:
>>> 25 OCT 2024
HOW IT WORKS
1. Registered Members will receive an email two weeks prior to the next scheduled order which will contain a link to enable them to place an order. The ORDER HERE link on this page will also become active if you prefer to order from here.
2. Orders are collated using Google forms and the ordering link is closed at 7pm. NB: we cannot confirm the oil price before your order is submitted, and we can sadly not accept any late orders or requests for change, after the 7pm deadline.
3. The organisers call a number of reputable oil providers, seeking quotes for the total litres in the group order and place it with the provider who offers the lowest price. The order is submitted to them and your details are passed over.
4. You will receive an email from the organisers confirming that the order is placed. ** This is where our involvement ends **
5. Delivery is usually expected within 5-10 working days and any enquiries after confirmation email must be directed to the Oil Provider.

Other OIl Clubs / Affilliations, & OIL THEFTS
There have historically, been oil thefts in the village. Please be vigilant, remember to secure your oil tanks and take a look at the following advice from Thames Valley Police. https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/protect-home-crime/oil-tank-theft/
Regarding other Oil Clubs, we have become aware that when Googling "Curridge Oil Group", two main results are returned:
- The Curridge Village website leading to the Curridge Oil Group page that you are currently on,
- another site which purports to be "The Curridge Heating Oil Club" which has no affiliation with Curridge Village
You are, of course, perfectly at liberty to use this organisation, but please be aware that our Group and Curridge Village, have no affiliations with this "Club" and it appears to be a nationally run scheme. We do not know if they are a profit making organisation but it has caused some confusion with a few COG members who have accidentally placed orders with them, thinking they are ordering through COG. For the avoidance of doubt, COG is a non profit making community initiative and operates solely to support our village and local community.
