Wendover Walking Football Club
We are looking for new players to join this newly established group who play at the John Colet every week. We are a friendly group of football lovers and our aim is to grow the club so that all can continue to enjoy playing the game. With mixed ability and a wide range of ages, we extend a welcome to anyone interested to come and join us. The club is affiliated to the national Walking Football Association programme and we are in contact with other teams around Aylesbury/Chilterns area who are similarly starting up teams.
Come down for a kick around and join in (just turn up, currently at 4pm on Fridays, next to the Wendover FC/Juniors Clubhouse ) or call Tom 07801 753668 or Karl 07891 324565.
Wendover Bowls Club
I don't know if anyone if anyone has written a book on the Zen of bowls yet but if not, they should. It may not have the frenetic adrenaline rush of other sports but it has taught me a lot in the few years I have played. Patience to accept that sometimes your bowl seems to have a mind of its own and will not do what you want it to. Discipline to try to take instruction from your skip, even when you feel it is wrong. Humility to accept victory and defeat equally and sportsmanship to congratulate an opponent on a good shot even when the rat has just sent your perfect wood off into no man's land. But one of the most unexpected things that I have learned is that it is impossible to walk in a straight line. Let me explain. The green is cut several times a week in the summer, diagonally from corner to corner. I start off full of optimism that I have walked a perfect line behind the mower but when I turn at the far end the wobbly evidence is there to see. Despite my efforts the green is looking really good and will be on display in a few days time when other clubs will come and play against each other in our Gala. This is a great money raiser for Club funds, so lets hope the weather is kind.

Chiltern Miniaturists Club
Earlier this year, previously called Aylesbury Dolls House Club, has been running a project to make a Book Nook - a small miniature scene that could be placed on a bookshelf, among the books. We followed the initial evening meeting with an all-day workshop, and now in August we have one final session to finish these off. There are already some very varied scenes - ranging from woodland, to a crowded library, to a Norwegian jetty! For anyone who would like to come along, we also have a variety of other kits that can be made.
