Haddenham Burglary – a recent burglary in Churchway, Haddenham in the early hours on Monday January 6 serves as a reminder to be constantly aware that crime is happening locally. In this instance, the householders heard the burglar outside, but the theft of cash and a digital camera was not noticed until later in the day. In Chearsley, during one very windy and noisy night before Christmas, a building site was broken into and materials stolen.

Recipe Book – a recipe book with 74 pages of cakes, bread and puddings has been produced by pupils and parents of Cuddington and Dinton C of E School, with contributions from some Chearsley children. The book costs £10 each, discounted to £8.50 when 3 are bought and can be ordered from Cuddington Stores or by contacting Sharon Sampson at Sharon@cloverdale.biz. All proceeds will go to the school.

Burns Night at The Bell – come and celebrate Burns Night at The Bell on Saturday January 25 when a 2 course traditional Burns Night Menu is available for £19.95 and a 3 course menu for £23.95. Please contact The Bell to reserve your place.
