Operation Christmas Child

Shoebox Appeal 2018

I would like to say a very big THANK YOU to

everyone who contributed to the Shoebox

Appeal as

306

shoeboxes were collected.

This means that some children in poor coun-

tries will have a happier Christmas. That in

effect is a smile on a child’s face, so thank

you all again for making this possible. It is a

wonderful achievement by everyone

Notes from a Buckden Cyclist

Thank you to Neighbour Watch for highlighting the presence

of cyclists on our streets. I love being out and about on my

bike – often three or four times a day. Along Leadens Lane

the other morning were lots of goldfinches – dainty little

birds; then there was the field covered with greylag geese

here for the winter; and field fares and lapwings are visiting

us, too.

Along the way there are hazardous potholes or puddles which

I may have to avoid; stones and largish twigs can be a prob-

lem, too, so, drivers please be aware that we cyclists may not

always ride in a straight line! With regard to puddles, it is real-

ly miserable to arrive home cold, wet and muddy because a

driver has not given us enough space, or slowed down

enough, as they pass, and we are spattered with dirty wa-

ter. You may see me on the pavement, sometimes, if I feel

unsafe on the road, especially at night, and particularly in Sil-

ver Street.

Thank you to all drivers who do wait with patience behind me

– that is most of you. My sturdy steed is no lightweight rac-

ing bike and advancing years mean I don’t pedal as fast as I

used to, so I am very appreciative of your patience and do try

to thank you as you pass.

We are a Group covering Cambridgeshire that is dedicat-

ed to improving the standard of driving and riding and in

so doing help to reduce the number of collisions on our

roads.

You can join the Group for a nominal annual subscription and then be coached

by volunteer Tutors (male and female) who are all qualified advanced drivers

or riders. We encourage people to take the RoSPA Test but if you just want to

improve your standard of driving or riding then that is enough of a reward.

We promote the System of Car Control as taught to police drivers. The System

is a way of approaching and negotiating hazards that is methodical, safe and

leaves nothing to chance.
