Festive Greetings

For one reason or another our plans to have a Christmas Do never really got off the ground (note to self - plan it earlier next year!!) - hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We've got some ideas planned for next year including and Easter Egg Hunt, cricket match on the common, perhaps something for the Jubilee and/or Olympics and some sort of Guy Fawkes party - roll on 2012.

Halloween Party

The Halloween Party was a great success -  we had about 25 children plus lots of parents - many thanks to all involved for a great efforts and generous donations - I thought there was a really good spirit there.

Christmas party next then . . .

Second Coffee & Book Afternoon

The second Coffee Afternoon & Book Exchange will be on Saturday 12 November at The Scout Hall from 3.00PM to 5.00PM

Come along for a chat, meet your neighbours, exchange any un-wanted book and have a cup of coffee and a slice of cake

Need any info or want to help - call Fatiha Clark on 01494 881513

Chequers Golf Day

The Chequers Golf Day last Friday was a resounding success - 25 of us played at Weston Turville Golf Club - an excellent day (which is more than can be said for some of the golf) followed by a very good meal at The Chequers and an enjoyable evening.

Many thanks to Dave and Terry for organising it and hopefully there will be another one soon.

A Good Time Had By All

The Summer Fun Day proved a popular event - the 50 or 60 hardy souls who braved the elements were rewarded with a bit of sun and blue sky in the middle of the afternoon

Thanks very much to all who came and all who helped make it an enjoyable afternoon

Summer Fun Day - 10 September

Bouncy Castle from 2.00PM to 6.00PM

Dog Agility Contest at 3.00PM

Outdoor games all afternoon including Garden Jenga, Boules, Wellie Wanging, Golf Chipping Competition, Egg Throwing etc

Toy/Book/DVD Stall – Buy, Swap or Exchange

Tea and Cakes

We will have to make a small charge for the Bouncy Castle to cover rental/insurance

Any offers of help (either setting up or on the afternoon) would be gratefully appreciated

If you have any items for the stall please contact Caroline Hodson

If you are able to contribute anything for the cake stall please contact Sylvia Andrews

We really hope to see as many of you as possible on Saturday – hopefully an opportunity for neighbours to meet from all round the common and enjoy the last gasp of summer - fell free to invite your friends (even if they don’t live in Wheeler End!) and as long as the weather is kind to us it should be a great afternoon
