The Hall has been a hive of activity recently. As well as our regular events such as FitHaven classes, Karate,
Yoga, Pilates, Life Drawing Art Class, Brownies, InStep, Music for Little People and Stay and Play we have
had a lot of private parties and kid’s parties. If you’ve never held a party here - kids or adult – please call or
email me and I can give you all the details. We’re a great venue for a party and right on your doorstep!
We’ve also recently welcomed more local businesses to the Hall for their business meetings. Don’t forget we
have three fabulous meeting rooms which can suit any kind of meeting. How nice would it be to hold one of
your business meetings much closer to home!! Come and have a look around and see for yourself!
The main Hall is now free on Thursday evenings. If there are any dance/fitness classes in the area who would
like to expand their business and use the Hall at this time please let me know. You may well have a ready-
made client base eager to join!
If anyone finds they have lost anything while walking around the field, it is worth popping into the office here as
many items do get handed in.
Don’t forget that as residents of Buckden you all receive discounted rates on Hall hire. Please call or email me
if you would like to find out more.

An informative Welcome Pack has been put together by Friends in Deed and the Parish Council
for those new to the village, including a village street map highlighting amenities, details of
transport facilities available in the village, and a footpath map of the local area. There is a refer-
ence copy to view in the Village Library and a pack may be obtained from John Chase, Clerk to
the Parish Council, from his office in the Village Hall. So if you are new to the village, or know
someone who is, then do let them know that the pack is available.
April 20th 2015 is our Training Day and we are very fortunate to have Care Network returning to give us more

come to this event and you do not have to be a member of Friends in Deed to participate. So if you, or if you know
of anyone who you think may be interested, please encourage them to join us on the day. So that refreshments
