It’s darker, it’s colder and the traffic on the roads is rubbish. How lovely would it be to have your business
meetings closer to home? No getting stuck in traffic jams and being able to get up just that little bit later than
usual?! Well turn that lovely thought into reality by using one of our fabulous meeting rooms for your business
meetings. We have three meeting rooms available which can cater for any size of meeting – if there will only
be a handful of you then our Aragon Suite is the one for you. Our Lincoln Suite can fit up to 30 people at ta-
bles or 40 theatre style and our Millard Suite can fit up to 50 at tables or 75 theatre style. For any bigger con-
ferences then our main Hall is a great venue. We have screens and Wi-Fi available too.
We can also offer more than just one off business meetings. How about using our Aragon Suite to run your
business from? It even has its own entrance!
We have so much to offer here so please come and take a look and see how we can help your business
in
some way. I am in the office Monday to Friday 9am – 2pm so please call (811101) or email me
(
admin@buckdenvillagehall.co.uk
) and I will be happy to give you further information and also to show you
around.
And remember – if you are a resident of Buckden then you will receive a discount on the rates!

APPEAL FOR WOOL
If anyone has any double-knit wool that they could
donate, I would be extremely grateful to receive it. I
am knitting blankets for Tanzania, for charity, as an
on-going project. Even odd balls are useful.
I would come and collect them, please phone
810464 or, alternatively, deliver them to 3 Lark End
(2
nd
left off Vineyard Way), Buckden.
Thank you, Yvonne
