12 Buckden Roundabout
May 2017 For your diary
As many of you may know I retired from the library service at
the end of March after working in my dream job for the past
20 years. I would like to thank everyone for the cards, gifts,
flowers and well wishes. Please keep using our library and
hopefully it will be there for the next 20 years at least. Special
thanks to our volunteers (see photo) for their support.
Best wishes, Ann

The year so far!
Buckden Wine and Beer Makers have had an active start to
2017. January's meeting was the annual presentation even-
ing where awards were presented to the winners of the an-
nual show, which was held back in November. The evening
ended with a light supper and many samples of beers and
wines.
February's meeting saw demonstrations of cooking with
wine. Mackerel pate, chicken with vermouth and tarragon
and a cheesecake were prepared by some members and tast-
ed by all those present.
During the March meeting members talked about 'holiday
beverages' which included wine, beer and spirits purchased
on their travels, home and abroad. The beverages were de-
scribed and an explanation of their origin was given before
members sampled the products.
Also in March 4 members attended the St Neots beer festival
'Booze on the Ouse' and sampled some of the 70+ real ales.
The evening ended with a curry at Wetherspoons.
Soon an abundance of fruits, elder flowers and berries etc
will be available to gather for wine making. If you would like
any help and advice please come along to the Wine and Beer
Makers.
