December 2016
Welcome to the December, Christmas edition of
Buckden Roundabout, the end of another year
for the editorial team. With the start of a new
year, we are looking at how we can update the
magazine to keep it developing and to maintain
the current high production standards.
As has been mentioned before, we are always
looking for ideas, articles and suggestions as
this is YOUR magazine. If you have any
thoughts, please do contact us via the email ad-
dress given; or call Ian who would be happy to
receive your call!
Although this is the December edition of the
magazine, and is the one we consider to be the
Christmas issue, the January issue is also deliv-
ered before Christmas. Therefore copy for the
January edition is required earlier than usual.
Could I ask that all copy for January is sent
as soon as possible and absolutely no later
than December 6th!
Please remember to visit the website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the
print edition, as well as information that arrives
during the month:
