We are always looking for photos, images, drawings and
paintings to use on the front cover so please keep sending
them in. Please note that photos should ideally be in portrait
format and should be a
minimum
of 2400 x 1700 pixels.
More is better!

May 2017
For a brief moment last weekend I thought that summer had arrived! A beautifully sunny day, temperatures in the
low 20s and the first BBQ of the year. Sadly, the chilly winds and 10 degrees drop in temperature the next day soon
put paid to ideas of spring being here, let alone summer! Given the number of outdoor events planned in the village
over the coming months, we all have to hope that we have more days like the Sunday, and less like the Monday!
May is a quiet month this year, which may be just as well given the number of events in the village in June and July!
There are many events planned including Film on a Farm, Open Gardens, the Village Festival and Buckfest!
Starting on May 16th in the Village Hall, there is an appeal regarding the proposed development at Lucks Lane. I
would encourage anyone with an interest in the outcome of this appeal to attend.
A quick reminder that our writing competition is still open for entries until the end of May. More details can be
found on page 15 of this issue.
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:
