Front Cover

The cover photo was taken at the 2018 Christmas Market and

Lights Switch-On, and was provided by our own Alec MacAn-

drew.

We are looking for more paintings of any kind that could use

as a front cover. We can photograph them if you only have

original artwork. We are also keen to get images (photos or

paintings) of the village and surrounding areas in preparation

for future issues. Please note that images should ideally be in

portrait format and should be a

minimum

of 2400 x 1700 pix-

els. More is better!

December 2019

Hopefully many of you will be in attendance for the regular

Buckden Christmas Market and Lights Switch-on. This is an-

other example of a fantastic event that could not take place

without the dedication of a small, but eager, group of volun-

teers, and we should be grateful for their ongoing efforts. If

the Christmas event inspires you to get involved in village

events, the Village Hall Trust are looking for someone to take

over the lead in organising the summer fete from July 2021

but helping in 2020. The plea went out in the November edi-

tion (p14), but contact details for Jo at the Village Hall can be

found on page 13 of this issue.

Now a couple of administrative announcements!

Firstly, if you are a contributor to the Roundabout please re-

member that the January 2020 is distributed before Christmas

so we need all contributions no later than close of business on

Friday 6th December! The tight timelines make it difficult to

chase late copy!

Secondly, our distributors are reminded that the January 2020

issue is distributed on December 19th. Copies for distribution

can be collected from the village hall as usual, or at our Christ-

mas Social on Thursday 19th December in the Living Stones

Room (in St Mary’s Church). Any packs not collected will be

delivered as usual later in the day.

Finally we wish all our readers, contributors and advertisers a

very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Please remember to visit the Roundabout website. There are

often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition,

as well as information that arrives during the month:
