December 2016

Welcome to the December, Christmas edition of

Buckden Roundabout, the end of another year

for the editorial team. With the start of a new

year, we are looking at how we can update the

magazine to keep it developing and to maintain

the current high production standards.

As has been mentioned before, we are always

looking for ideas, articles and suggestions as

this is YOUR magazine. If you have any

thoughts, please do contact us via the email ad-

dress given; or call Ian who would be happy to

receive your call!

Although this is the December edition of the

magazine, and is the one we consider to be the

Christmas issue, the January issue is also deliv-

ered before Christmas. Therefore copy for the

January edition is required earlier than usual.

Could I ask that all copy for January is sent

as soon as possible and absolutely no later

than December 6th!

Please remember to visit the website. There are

often articles there that we could not fit into the

print edition, as well as information that arrives

during the month:
