Vintage buses in Bellingdon

~ bacaadmin

(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

Bellingdon Village Neighbourhood Watch (NW) New coordinator needed

~ bacaadmin
For many years the NW scheme covering the whole of Bellingdon Village has been managed by Alan Page, as you will be aware. Alan has given his community many hours of voluntary service over this time, and I’m sure that you and other residents will be grateful to him for this.

Now Alan is hanging up his Neighbourhood Watch sign and retiring from this role. Having an active NW scheme is a key part of the village’s defence against criminals, so it is important to everyone in the community that a new Coordinator steps forward. Could that be you?

Rest assured that this is not an onerous role, even though an important one. These days most interaction is by email, although it is naturally vital to cater for those residents who do not use this technology. In taking over this existing scheme most of the work has been done, and I can promise my active support for the newcomer too.

So, please contact me if you are wiling to consider taking over from Alan – and it will be great if several of you offer at once, so the role is not all on one individual!I look forward to hearing from you shortly!RegardsDavid
