Buckden Roundabout
Assistant to Advertising Manager
The Buckden Roundabout needs an assistant to help our
advertising manager with contacting and co-ordinating
our advertisers. Without the volunteers on the Rounda-
bout team we would not be able to produce the maga-
zine. No prior experience is needed. All we need is just a
couple of hours of your time each month. The Rounda-
bout editorial team is a friendly, welcoming group. Do
contact us if you think you can help by e-mailing:
adverts@buckdenroundabout.info
Huntingdon Dining Club
Huntingdon Dining Club is a friendly fundraising group which
raises vital funds for the national children’s charity the NSPCC

help NSPCC projects such as Speak Out Stay Safe.
