on one of Britain’s favourite animals, the Hedgehog. This will be held on Wednesday 14

January starting at
7.30pm at Brampton Memorial Hall, Thrapston Road, Brampton, PE28 4TB.

!!FOR THE ATTENTION OF VILLAGE ORGANISATIONS!!
As you may be aware we have established a dedicated page on the Buckden Roundabout website for village
organisations. We have invited the leaders and coordinators of all village organisations to contact us and tell us
what we should include there - whether it be a link to your own website or whether you would like us to host a
page of information on your behalf . Some organisations have already come forward; I request that those ones
that have not yet done so please do. As a reminder the village organisations page can be found at http://
www.buckdenroundabout.info/village-organisations
As well as this, in a future edition of the Buckden Roundabout itself we would like to give a voice to the many or-
ganisations, clubs and societies that operate in the village. We are proposing that every organisation provide us
with a short article of approx. 150 words. We are expecting that the article will provide details of what you do and
where you do it, and a call for either members to participate or volunteers to help with the running of the society
and its activities. However, the article can be about any aspect of your organisation, and can be for any purpose.
We anticipate that, if all organisations come forward, this will be spread over 2 months. We would like to com-
plete this early in the year and have identified the February and March editions of the magazine as the ideal time
to have these articles present.
Please forward your completed articles, or ask questions, by sending an email to the editorial team at

th
June 2015
This year The Friends of Buckden towers are holding a special Tudor themed event in the
King’s Room at the Palace. Following a welcome drink in the Knot Garden, there will be a buf-
fet meal in the King’s Room in the Palace featuring a Tudor style main course followed by
strawberries and cream. There will be a bar available for wine, beer and soft drinks.
After dinner we are delighted to host a demonstration of Tudor dancing by the
Capriol Society for Early Dance
whose members will then invite us to try the dances for ourselves.
You are invited to wear Tudor dress if you wish, but it is not compulsory and modern dress (smart casual but no
jeans) is just as acceptable.
Tickets will go on sale at The Towers office shortly at £35.00 per head. Numbers will be limited so early booking
is advisable.
