There will be sandwiches, cream teas and cakes at a Traditional Afternoon Tea organized by the Village Hall Committee to raise funds for the Village Hall from 3 until 5pm on Sunday July 10th.

A Choral Floral Delights concert is being held on Sunday July 10th at 7pm at St Nicholas Church when the Aylesbury Consort of Voices conducted by Kelvin Turner will be singing music by Wilbye, Byrd, Finzi, Pearsall, Britten, Howells and Saint-Saens.

Cricket Club – 100 Club
More members of this fund raising scheme are welcomed. It costs £24 to take part in the monthly lottery, when approximately 50% of the ticket revenue is paid out in prizes. The more participants there are means the greater the amount of money available for prizes and for vital funds for the Club. If you are interested, please contact louisagadsby@hotmail.co.uk.
