St Nicholas Church Fun Day - Footsteps
A fun day for 25 local children took place on Tuesday 25th August. The aim of the day was for the children to “walk in the footsteps of Jesus”, hence the name “Footsteps”. The day started in the village hall making all sorts of craft items from glittery doves hanging from strings to cardboard swords and shields to be used later as props in the drama. Older children and teenagers made a large cardboard fishing boat complete with mast, which formed part of a happy, carnival-like procession through the village lanes to a large garden with pond where the children learnt about the baptism of Jesus. It was then time for a picnic lunch - “feeding of the 5000”. Next came a walk to the church, “Jerusalem” , past the well-known village donkeys. At Jerusalem, the older children acted out the Last Supper, crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus, while the younger ones enjoyed painting their feet to make footprints on a big banner. A great fun day for all – an occasion the children are asking to be repeated next year.

A new forensic property marking system is being introduced across Buckinghamshire this week to make life more difficult for burglars and thieves and make it easier to convict them.
SelectaDNA forensic property marking is being introduced by the Buckinghamshire Community Safety Partnership as part of Operation Breaker, the Force's anti-burglary drive.
Thames Valley Police's Crime Reduction Advisers will be provided with SelectaDNA property marking kits for allocation to identified crime "hot spot" areas, the elderly and vulnerable and previous victims of burglary, over the course of the next 18 months. Others who are interested can order kits via the SelectaDNA website.
The initial rollout will cover the Elmhurst and Watermead areas of Aylesbury, Buckingham, Chalfont St Peter, the Micklefield and Totteridge areas of High Wycombe, Marlow and Iver.
Thames Valley Police will be advising residents on how to use the marking kits in their homes. Each kit contains a bottle of the SelectaDNA formula, which consists of an ultraviolet tracer and a unique DNA code. The clear liquid, which contains identifying microdots, can be easily applied by residents to any household item to verify it as belonging to their property.
If suitably marked property such as a laptop, flatscreen TV, mobile phone or piece of jewellery is stolen and later recovered by police, it can be scanned using a UV light and traced back to the rightful owner via the DNA marking.
Further information can be seen on the Thames Valley Police website or you can call your local Crime Reduction Adviser via the main number 0845 8 505 505.
____________________________________
Watch members are advised to exercise caution when dealing with unknown telephone callers, after a resident in Oakley received a suspicious call on the 9th August.
The male caller, who sounded Asian, claimed to be calling from Sky and asked the occupant for her credit card details, in order that they could update Sky's records. The resident, who does have Sky, but pays by Direct Debit, became suspicious and refused to give any details. She later made enquiries with Sky Customer Services, who stated that Sky had not contacted her.
If you receive a call from anyone that is not known to you, asking for bank or credit card details, please refuse, unless you can verify that the person is definitely genuine. If in doubt, call the Police on the non emergency number 0845 8 505 505.
