Friends of Buckden Towers
What's the capital of New Hampshire?
What's the main ingredient of baba ga-
noush? These were just two of the ques-
tions that set grey matter ticking over at
the Friends of Buckden Towers Quiz
Night on 6th March at the Towers. Our Quiz Meister,
Roundabout editor Ian Carter, set us challenging
questions and the ladies of the Friends provided an
excellent buffet. All in all, a very enjoyable evening.

A Big Thank You to all who attended and contrib-
uted to my Charity Boden Event.
It was a great success and we raised £1000 for The
Alex Hulme Foundation, also Aspen - Re have
agreed to donate a further £1000 so in total the chari-
ty will receive over £2000 from us.
A very worthy cause as they continue to fund re-
search into Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in children!
Hope to see you all again next year!
