Buckden Village Festival and Parish Council Photographic Competition
Congratulations to all the organisers of the Buckden Village Festival. It was a fabulous weekend of ac-
tivities, showing our community at its best, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the many people who at-
tended. Even the weather was on our side this year. All our thanks go to the organising committee for
this mammoth effort.
The Parish Council would also like to thank all those who entered the Photographic Competition. We
think that those of you who saw the exhibition will agree that the standard was very high. We were par-
ticularly pleased to see so many entries in the aged 10 and under category. The aged 11-16 group was
rather light on entries though, so teenagers, get your cameras out and get practising.
Those placed first in each category received £10 as a prize and the overall winners of each age group
received a shield to keep for a year. The winners were:
