FRIENDS IN DEED
The Friends in Deed Summer Tea Party will be held from 2.30pm to 4pm on 12th August at The
Bowlings, Silver Street, courtesy of Pam and Miles Falla. Transport will be available so please
contact the transport coordinator (as below) to arrange your lift or ask your 'Friend' to do it for

Many thanks to all who contributed bottles for our stall at the Buckden Fete. We had 200 bottles
on the day! The stall was very lively and we raised £176 in just about two and a half hours!! A fantastic effort by all
and great fun.
The Drop-in Café is held on the second Wednesday of each month in the Living Stones Room in St Mary's Church
1430 to 1600. Homemade cakes, tea and coffee - all welcome! Transport can be arranged and we look forward to
seeing you there.

VILLAGE NEWS
Buckden Village Festival 4th & 5th July
It was great to see so many fantastic costumes, flags and cars in the parade. I
hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. There was a real carnival atmosphere
helped by the Bedford Pipe Band. Thank you to all those who manned stalls, per-
formed in the arena or helped with the set-up etc for the fete. The event (including
the raffle) has raised over £2,000 which will allow Wi-Fi to be installed in the village
hall over the coming weeks.
It is only through the village acting as a community and sorting out their bit as a team that the event is so
much fun. As the Festival has grown so has the amount of preparation required to organise it. You may
not know how you can help but there is always the right slot. Please let us know on
BuckdenVillageFesti-
val@gmail.com
if you could spare a few hours (if the load is spread it is actually quite fun). We also wel-
come any feedback or ideas for next year.
