Club Corner Into summer with the Wildlife Trust
College Lake Reserve and Visitor Centre will be open from 10am Tuesday through Sunday moving to seven day opening from June. The cafe will be serving a new and exciting menu to enjoy in our refurbished outside seating area. The gift shop will be selling many new products including a local range from the Chiltern Brewery while secondhand books and trampers will also be available. We are very keen to hear from old and new volunteers to help us run efficiently and there are lots of roles available. We expect the car park to be busy so please be patient and consider making a donation to Trust funds. Events for adults and children will be posted online at bbowt.org.uk as they become possible but all local nature reserves are freely available now so do go out and enjoy them at their best at any time.

Wendover Evening WI
Wendover Evening WI meets on the second Tuesday of each month. At the moment our meetings are via Zoom but we are hoping to restart at our usual venue of St Anne’s Hall once lockdown restrictions have been lifted. We have a very interesting and varied programme of speakers booked for the next few months.
U9’s to U19’s and 60+ senior matches for 3 teams and with more likely to be arranged. The Mid Bucks League starts on 1 May, as does the club’s Village Cup tournament. All training and games etc. will adhere to the latest Covid guidelines and regulations. The new and exciting ECB’s Dynamos programme for 8 to 11 years old – for girls only at Wendover – has been launched and to sign up, you must apply via https://ecb.clubspark.uk/Dynamos. But the club’s places are limited and their sessions run on early Sunday mornings from mid-May. Due to the short junior season ending in July, any players looking to join are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, whilst the seniors continue well into September. All junior/senior playing enquiries to Viral Patel wccjuniorscontact@gmail. com / Jonathan Seabrook jseabrook@talktalk. net or via the website www.pitchero.com/clubs/ wendovercricketclub.

At last we will soon be allowed back on to our green. Even though there will be restrictions with the use of the clubhouse and numbers it is a huge step. We did manage a few days play last summer before lockdown but most of us have not picked up a bowl for almost a year.
