Chiltern 3 Peaks

A group of us recently did the Chilterns 3 Peaks Challenge - an 18 mile walk along The Ridgeway taking in Whiteleaf Cross, Coombe Hill and ending at Ivinghoe Beacon.

Many thanks to those who sponsored us - it was all in aid of Iain Rennie - as a group we raised about £600 and the whole event raised about £75,000.

A good time was had by all - a few sore legs on Monday but nothing more serious than that; if anyone fancies it next year let me know.

Chequer's Golf Day

Another Chequer's Golf Day has been arranged for Friday 29th June

Venue Badgemore golf Club at Henley, cost is £30 including coffee and bacon sandwiches beforehand - plan is to then have drinks and dinner at The Chequers

To book speak to Dave at the pub

What A Great Day!

Well despite the dreadful weather most of the weekend, we got away with it; our Jubilee picnic went really well and all the feedback we have had has been very positive. It was brilliant to see so many people come out - general opinion is that we had well over 200 people in all.

Special mention must go to Keith, George and Henry for their efforts with the Balloon Race - they did 400 balloons in the end - and after all the expenses prizes will be £200 (£100 / £60 / £40) - watch this space.

Also many thanks to Sue Griffin for all her efforts with the food and her splendid Jubilee cake.

Jubilee Picnic

Just a brief note say that plans are coming along well for the Wheeler End Jubilee Picnic on Monday 4 June – between 1.00PM and 5.00PM

We’ll be dropping leaflets through people’s doors this week but the basic plans are as Picnic from 1.00PM on the common

• Bouncy Castle all afternoon
• Various games after the picnic – softball/rounders, tug-of-war, golf chipping, garden Jenga etc
• Wheelbarrow racing
• Prizes for best crown/tiara
• Tea and cakes at 4.00PM

If anyone else wants to get involved or has any further ideas for the day itself, please drop me an email or give me a call on 07879 841474

We have had a generous contribution of £150 from the Parish Council so this will fund the basic costs of the day and mean we don’t need to charge for the Bouncy Castle – we’ll be open to donations on the day towards the costs of this and future events 

Easter Egg Hunt - Updated - New Date

As you hopefully found out in time, we were forced to cancel the Easter Egg Hunt on Monday - very sorry about this and hope it didn't cause too much disappointment but the weather was just too bad

We now plan to hold it this Sunday - 15 April - at 11.00AM

Here's hoping we can rely on the wonderful British weather this time round

Easter Egg Hunt

Please come along to the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Monday 9 April at 11.00AM on Wheeler End North Common (same spot as usual) - all are welcome but can we please not have any unaccompanied children as this is really not fair on those organising things.

We'll be serving tea, coffee and cakes on the common.

There is no formal charge but please make a donation on the day towards the cost of this and future events.

Plans For 2012

We had a quick meeting on Tuesday to discuss what events we would organise this year; the following have been pencilled in - and of course we are open to any other ideas:

• Easter Egg Hunt - Monday 11 April
• Jubilee Picnic & Fun Day (combined) - June 4/5
• Village Cricket match - early September
• Kids Halloween Party
• Guy Fawkes - in some form or other
