BUCKDEN VILLAGE HALL TRUST
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The current chair of the Trust, John Thelwall, has notified the
Trustees that it is his intention to retire as chairman in July
2018. The Trustees are therefore looking for a community
minded person to take over the position next year.
It is an interesting and rewarding position. The Village Hall and
the recreation ground have a central position in village life.
The Trustees, and particularly the chair, contribute a great deal
to the village in managing this well used facility we are lucky
enough to have.
The job of chair is not particularly demanding nor does it take
a great deal of time. It does not require any special skills.
If you would like to make a major contribution to the village
community please contact Jo Harvey, the Hall administrator on
811101 or by email to admin@buckdenvillagehall.co.uk
MUSICAL DIRECTOR AND
ACCOMPANIST WANTED
The Wyton & Brampton MWC was set up in September 2013
as part of the nationwide network of Military Wives choirs
and operates under the MWC Foundation charity. The MWC
ethos is to welcome everyone who fulfills the membership
criteria, regardless of musical ability or background - it’s all
about having a good time and supporting each other through
the joy of singing. There are no auditions and it doesn’t
matter if you can’t read music. We are an SSA choir.
Sadly, our current MD is moving on so we are seeking a re-
placement and a piano accompanist. The nature of military
life means that our membership fluctuates throughout the
year but we consistently have about 25 members. We re-
hearse at St Georges Church RAF Wyton, Huntingdon PE28
2EA, 7.00 to 8.30pm every Wednesday, and perform about 6
-8 times a year. These include performing at the Christmas
Lights switch on Huntingdon; a joint concert with Upwood
Ukuleles at Warboys Church; regular RAF Wyton station
events and the HM Queen 90th birthday beacon lighting
ceremony.
Fee: negotiable (but we are a charity so funds are limited)
If you think you’ve got what it takes or are inter-
ested in finding out more, please contact the
choir at:
