Club Corner Wanted: memory-makers confidence builders
and little rusty and some of us do not bend in Wendover Cricket Club
Young people love to build dens. But it’s not just about how much fun they have, or the amazing memories they make. They’re learning to work together, think for themselves and play their part. Scouts prepares young people with skills for life. As a helper with Scouts you can use your skills to help young people find theirs.

June is busting out all over!
This is one of the best months for visiting a local BBOWT reserve and seeing the wildlife of the Chilterns. Aston Clinton Ragpits reserve is famed for its orchids, Bacombe Hill has junipers and great views of the Vale, Weston Turville Reservoir offers level paths and lakeside spots to picnic while Dancersend has everything - woods, meadows, secret valleys and its own offering of unusual plants if you know where to look. The BBOWT website give access details of each one and if you are lucky you may still find a place on a guided walk in June or July - email jonesmick365@gmail.com for the latest on these. Finally College Lake with its easy walking circuit, lakes, picnic tables, cafe, book and gift shops has something for everyone and is due to be open every day in June from 9.30am. richardbirch60@yahoo.com

Sessions will be packed full of that the bowls picked up the snow as they fun and new skills will be learned and it is a ran across the green and finished up several perfect introduction for all girls new to the sizes larger than they started. Suddenly a sport, as well as those looking to build on cup of tea and a biscuit seemed a good idea. what they already know. The green is playing well and the damage rooks did to the surface in the winter is not noticeable. All the surrounds and flower beds are beautiful with the promise of lots of colour to come. All the folk who have turned out in the rotten weather we have recently to plant and tidy and even grub up hedges really do deserve a pat on the back. Don Knight
