16 Buckden Roundabout November 2023 Village News Bookings This month we have a couple of kid ’ s parties, an adult birthday party and a couple of corporate hires as well as our regular hirers. Yoga returns to Buckden Village Hall! We are delighted to confirm that there will be a week- ly yoga class in the main Hall each Tuesday at 6:15pm starting on Tuesday 14 th November. This is an all - level Vinyasa flow yoga class. No need to block book, you can simply attend on the weeks you wish to attend. For more information and to book please visit www.judesyogawellbeing.com Keyholder wanted! The Trust is looking for a keyholder for the Hall. This will involve unlocking the Hall and locking up again, mostly on some evenings and weekends (but not late at night!). If anyone has some spare time and believes they can help (there will be payment for your time) please email your details to Jo at admin@buckdenvillagehall.co.uk Drones over Valley and playing field We have received reports of a drone flying over the Valley and playing field late at night and in the early hours of the morning. This has caused concern to resi- dents and we would ask if this continues for residents to contact 101 to report this please. Dog poo on playing field Please can all dog walkers to pick up after their dogs when on the playing field. Valley water update and your valley needs you! We are still concerned that the streams that flow into the Valley appear to have dried up. We would be very grateful if residents along Morris Close/Cranfield Way/Manor Gardens whose gardens back onto a stream could let us know about the state of water flow as we do not have access to private land along this water course. We wonder if there may be a block- age somewhere. Please call or email the office. De- tails at the bottom of this article. The Trust has a working group of amazing volunteers who help to keep the Valley looking tidy. However, it ’ s a big job so we are looking for more volunteers to help keep the Valley looking good for all residents to enjoy. If you have a spare hour a week, or even a month, please email the office on the email address at the bottom of this article. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who are throwing litter into the Valley, sometimes aiming at the wildlife. If anyone sees any kind of anti - social be- haviour around the Valley, playing field or Hall building please contact 101 straight away or online at www.cambs.police.uk Fundraising to support the Village Hall The Village Hall is a completely self - funding charity. We are totally reliant on our room hire and fundraising to support our operations.
