Bingo at The Bell
The monthly Bingo session at The Bell on Tuesday October 2 was very nearly standing room only. It attracts out-of-town visitors! Word is spreading of what a great evening it is with a bit of east and west wing rivalry, with callers, Paul Kingsman and Andy Camden performing their usual comedy act, (they try their hardest as long as their glasses are to hand) aided and abetted by Linda and others. Many players enjoyed a meal beforehand. The evening ended with a top prize of £72 for a lucky player and the raffle raised £34 for the charity boxes on the bar. Why not come along and try your luck and have a bit of fun at the next Bingo evening on Tuesday November 6.
Quiz Night at The Bell
A good way to end the weekend is by coming to the next Quiz night at The Bell on Sunday October 7. Come along in a team or on your own. First question at 7.30pm.
Poppy Appeal
Sue Grimsdell will be out and about with her collecting tin and poppies over the weekend of 27 and 28 October. Sue has been doing this very worthwhile and arduous task for a number of years, and last year was very pleased to raise over £390. Please give generously to help her beat this amount this year. Sue is having a more than usual busy time as her son Nick is getting married to Lucinda on November 2, so there are wedding plans to finalize and hen weekends to go on.
3 Chiltern Peaks Sponsored Walk
Peter Grimsdell recently took part in this walk on Sunday September 16 with other members of his family and was pleased to raise £583 in aid of the Iain Rennie Hospice. It took them 5 and a half hours to complete the 18 miles from White Leaf Cross, Princes Risborough to Coombe Hill and on to Ivinghoe Beacon. Peter writes “I did the walk to put something back after all the help we had from various hospices when Sue’s Dad was so ill. We all got our medals for completing the walk, including the dogs Bella and Rosie.” Well done Peter and family and thank you for the information.
