Winter newsletter out now

The Winter issue of the B&A Newsletter is out and is on its way to your door, if it hasn’t arrived already. If you can’t wait, the pdf of this and previous issues can be found on the newsletters page:

Newsletter

Jo Askew has kindly stepped up to edit the print version, so this will be my last issue. It’s been an absolute privilege and I shall miss being the first to know about everything. Enormous thanks must go to all the contributors for submitting their news and photos as well as the volunteer distribution network that makes sure everyone gets their copy.

The next issue is due in March so do contact Jo on newsletter@bellingdon.com if you are interested in submitting an article or have any other contributions.

Vintage buses in Bellingdon

(With apologies for the delay in posting these photos)

These buses were being run by the Amersham & District Motorbus Society.  They organise several events during the year and Chesham Bus Running Day, which is an annual event held this year, on the 1st October 2023.

The Pic of MXX313 (photo below) is numbered GS13 which is a 1953 Guy Special. 

The Pic of NLE673 is a Metro-Cammell bodied AEC Regal IV, typical of the type used for Greenline services.

The nearest route that did exist was the 709 Godstone to Chesham. More photos on bellingdon.com 

It’s fete day! Roll up, roll up!

Come along from 1pm (cakes can be dropped off from noon) and get involved with Classic cars, Fun dog show, Hemel Hempstead Band, real ale festival and Pimms bar, BBQ, ice creams, tug-of-war, teas & cakes, best decorated cake competition, kids’ corner, face painting, tombola, raffle, bouncy castle and lots more.

Just £1 per adult, kids go free!

See you there!

Village Fete THIS SATURDAY!!

Two more sleeps and then it’s the Village Fete!!  Classic Cars, pooches, cake baking goodies at the ready…..

And its looking like its going to be a very good one, by the looks of the very generous and high quality donations from everyone.  Thank you so very much.

Drop off is at noon on Saturday for any baked goods for the tea and cakes stall in the Village Hall.

Also, if someone can help our (not very good) sleuths… we seem to have misplaced the ladies’ Tug of War Trophy (!).  Do you perhaps have it, or know who may have it, please can you let me know.
