FRIENDS IN DEED
Our Bottle Stall at the Village Fete was highly successful again this year and we ran out of
bottles before the end! Very many thanks are due to all of you who donated so generously
and to those who manned the stall – much appreciated.
The Friends in Deed Summer Tea Party will be held from 2.30pm to 4pm on 10th August at The Bowlings, Silver
Street, courtesy of Pam and Miles Falla. Invitations have gone out. Transport will be available so please contact
the transport coordinator (as below) to arrange your lift or ask your ‘Friend’ to do it for you. Do come along - we’d
love to see you there!
Please note that because of the Summer Tea Party there will be no Drop-in Café in August. The next one will be
held on 14 Sep and on the second Wednesday of each month in the Living Stones Room in St Mary’s Church,
2.30pm to 4pm. If you like homemade cakes, tea and coffee, and a friendly atmosphere, why not come along and
join us. All are welcome and transport is available within the village on request (see below).

Buckden Friends
A huge thank you to everyone involved in the Buckden Village Festival, especially to Phillip Miles who is chief or-
ganisor. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
A big thank you has to go to my long suffering husband, Brian King, who saved the parade by producing a sound
system for a car to lead the parade when the Pipe Band let us down at the last moment. The police also compli-
mented him on the excellent marshalling of the parade. Where would we be without family and friends to help us
out
and this fantastic community we are so lucky to live in.
Hope you are looking forward to next years Festival. Any ideas for a theme will be most appreciated.
