Wendover Bowls Club
The end of December and the start of the New Year was a very quiet time. We held an open day in early January which was a success, and eight people turned up to try out indoor bowls. Now eight might not sound very many, but it meant that they all received personal tuition and enjoyed it. Several said they would be back for more, and another open session will be arranged.
It’s the most unusual behaviour for a bird normally at pains to avoid contact. He doesn't like his photo taken either. So next time you're up the road...look out for this extraordinary bird, and Really there is not much more to report. Internal maybe take some seed to bribe your passage. I for matches between members continue, as do one am hoping that February 1st comes around matches against other clubs.

Ashridge Home Care wins Best Employer
The curious case of Cedric
If you've walked the Ridgeway you can't have failed to notice a feathery rustle in the bushes as you go down Hogtrough Lane - a beak, a beady eye and a dash of brilliant colour announces Cedric the Pheasant running alongside in his field before he pops out at the gate to confront anyone, car bike or walker for daring to venture near his breeding harem.
• Curtain altera�ons
for Home Visit appointments in Wendover and surrounding villages
Depending on his mood, and your level of alarm, he'll escort you in close formation for a way but if you decide to confront him he'll display an extraordinary level of derring-do as he'll fly harmlessly at you.
The prize was awarded at the National Small / Medium Enterprise Awards in December. As a multi-award-winning care provider with over 30 years’ experience, Ashridge Home Care has the capacity to provide skilled, conscientious, and friendly carers to deliver safe one-to-one care to vulnerable and elderly individuals in the comfort of their own homes.
