Thought for the Month
Dear Friends,
Can I invite you to join me as a fly on the wall in the Kings
Room in the Towers on any Thursday evening during term
time.
In the upstairs room there is a happy buzz of chatter as four
girls enthusiastically enjoy a game of table tennis on the table
in the middle of the room, and another group sit on the bean
bags nearby exchanging important news and generally
chatting. At one end of the room some boys are hunched in
concentration over a football match on the play station, and
at the other end a game of Connect 4 is coming to a noisy
conclusion.
Downstairs there is cool lighting and music in the Refectory
where a crowd gather round the tuck shop which is doing its
usual steady trade and as ever there are young folk hanging
round the kitchen bar chatting with Charlotte and Carole, en-
joying one of Carole’s delicious milk shakes, or perhaps cook-
ing (and eating!) pizzas or pancakes.
Outside a group of hardy footballers are engaged in a com-
petitive game under the watchful eyes of Tom, Sam and Matt
while periodically popping inside for refreshment from the
tuck shop or kitchen bar.
As it’s summer other activities may also be happening. Per-
haps a treasure hunt in the grounds of the Towers or a game
of rounders. At 8pm, or later if they can swing it, the young
people leave saying ‘see you next week…’
Welcome to youth@thetowers - the Buckden youth club for
years 7,8,9.
We are coming to the end of our first year and would like to
express our thanks for the great support we have had from
the village, in particular the Parish Council and The Towers,
for this activity which seems to be appreciated by all the
young people who come.
We will be running until the beginning of July when we close
for the summer, but will be restarting again in mid September
for what we hope will be another successful year.
Best wishes,
Jes
