Bookings
We have a very busy month ahead of us at the Hall in May. As well as all our regular hirers we have another
new corporate hirer and two wedding receptions – and of course the BJFC Presentation Evening!
Polite Request
Please anyone playing with footballs on the field avoid kicking them at the pavilion or at the main hall building
as this breaks the guttering.
Your Village Hall needs you!
If anyone living in the village would like to become a Trustee and help to run this wonderful building please call
or email me (details at the end of this article). A vacancy for a Treasurer has just arisen, so if you are some-
one who is interested, or knows someone who may be, please call or email me.
How you can help our charity
It costs a lot of money to maintain the Hall, but did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from
your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising money for Buckden Village Hall Trust? There
are nearly 3,000 retailers including Amazon, John Lewis, M&S, Aviva and Tesco who will donate a percentage
of the amount you spend to Buckden Village Hall Trust to say thank you for shopping with them. It’s really sim-
ple and doesn’t cost you anything. All you have to do is:
1. Go to
www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/buckdenvillagehall
2. Sign up for free
3. Get shopping! Your donations will be collected by easyfundraising and automatically sent to us!
There are no catches or hidden charges and Buckden Village Hall Trust will be extremely grateful for your do-
nations!
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.

A scrumptious paella for all to share was the culmination of a fun-filled cookery demon-
stration by 'The Spanish Amandas' at our meeting on 5th April. While supper was cooking
under the watchful eye of one Amanda, the other was giving us a very entertaining Span-
ish lesson, so 'Muchas gracias a las des Amandas!'
On May 3rd, in a change to our advertised programme, Dr Steve Jones will be talking
about Japan and its cultures and the competition will be for 'things Japanese'. Please con-
sider what you could bring for the market stall: spring cleaning and gardening goods might
sell well at this time of year. Visitors are always welcome. For more information phone Judith Armitage on 811717.

We enjoyed our trip to Henlow Dogs. The food was really good and we had a fun evening even though most of us
