5th June 2007 Last night was the annual tour by the Conservation Group.  Lead by Angus and Ken, we had an hour or so looking at the extremely diverse range of flora in this small area, followed by the customary refreshments, kindly arranged by Eric.  We are so fortunate to have knowledgeable people on the conservation group so that we can enhance further this area of outstanding natural beauty.  If you want to do something towards enhancing your understanding and knowledge of nature as wel as contributing some time in pleasant company, then link to the conservation group page via the bar on the left.


  25 May 2007 Last night was the Annual Parish Meeting.  Only one hour long, but lots emerged.  A very well-run meeting with something on speed limits, the cost of running the Parish Council, the burial ground, playgrounds, village halls, Valley Road lighting, the zebra crossing and others.  Annual Parish Meeting

17 May 2007 Just as I thought that I was talking to myself on this website, along comes my first email, from The Misbourne - the art college at Great Missenden.  It seems that they have arranged for artists to display their works every Saturday in June and presumably the artists are hoping that non-artists will flock there to buy some works.  Anyway, details of the poster are attached.  Art in the Park For those not knowing where Link Road is, it is that stretch between the Chinese restarant and the A413 on the A4128.  I think there is a car park on the left on Link Road.


15 May 2007 The Village Hall Committee met last night (Monday 14th May). This committee has representatives from all sections of the community to discuss how best to maintain and enhance this major asset of the community.  Items discussed are not earth-shattering, but they ensure that the village hall works for the large number of people who use it.  It is not funded by anybody but ourselves, so it stands a triumph of cummunity participation of the best kind.

Can we have news of the Save Our Shop survey when ready?  I'll publish results if required.


My thanks to Robert Ralphs, who has been managing this website for the last five years.  Now he has moved on and left me, Tony Konieczny, with the task of trying to keep this site interesting and informative.  Robert has been an invaluable help in the transition period as he has endeavoured to teach me how to create and maintain a web site.  Bear with me as I try to put into practise his words of wisdom!
