Front Cover
The cover shows the Roundabout Christmas wreath from
2018 on display in St Mary’s. The 2019 wreaths are currently
on display in the church.
We are looking for more paintings of any kind that could use
as a front cover. We can photograph them if you only have
original artwork. We are also keen to get images (photos or
paintings) of the village and surrounding areas in preparation
for future issues. Please note that images should ideally be in
portrait format and should be a
minimum
of 2400 x 1700 pix-
els. More is better!

January 2020
We have reached the end of another year. Well, almost! It is
the time of year when I am writing about the start of the next
year when I have not got that close to Christmas as yet!
2019 has been a good year for Buckden Roundabout. We re-
ceived our award for the Most Improved Magazine in the
Community Magazine Awards sponsored by Cambridge Build-
ing Society. We continue to receive positive feedback, and the
occasional piece of constructive criticism, from our readers
and advertisers. Talking of advertisers, they are a very loyal
bunch and recognise what great value advertising in the
Roundabout provides; they continually tell us of the responses
they get from the community as a result of their adverts.
We have tried hard in 2019 to provide more variety in the
magazine. We will continue to have information and events
from the local groups and societies, but at the same time you
have seen, and will continue to see, a greater array of articles
on a wider variety of topics - but all with one common theme -
Buckden!
Although we now have a steady supply of articles, we are al-
ways looking for new contributors and new ideas for the mag-
azine. If you have ideas for articles you want to see included,
please contact us using the editor wemail address provided
below.
Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition,
as well as information that arrives during the month:

As we are still in December, we again wish everyone a Very
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
