College Lake Visitor Centre

We are looking at our staffing levels and cover in the VC. Currently we invite: shop volunteers and a volunteer baker to join our café for a couple of hours a week to bake some cakes. We are using social media to advertise these jobs at present but if you know anyone who would like to help us with any of these roles please do pass them to me!

More help at the welcome desk at the entrance to the reserve is always appreciated too - you can sign up for whatever hours suit you but first please make sure you register at volunteering@bbowt.org. In the café you can enjoy an English or a vegetarian breakfast every day until 2pm (Tuesday to Sunday). Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Wendover Cricket Club

The club has completed a very successful indoor training programme and has now switched to outside, weather-permitting; the unusually high rainfall of March & April has impacted the start of the new season. Outdoor training has begun and there’s a very full programme of matches arranged for May to July at the Witchell ground.

All junior enquiries to Juniors Manager Viral Patel by text to 07930-360 495 and re seniors and officials, text Jonathan Seabrook on 07767 148 119.

The Wendover Canal Trust

Why not join our monthly walk on Saturday 6th May from Meads Farmhouse Kitchen, Wilstone HP23 4NT, starting at 10.30am. Come and see our “community help out work” from previous months, in addition to work on restoring the canal back to water, part of the towpath at Little Tring has been greatly improved for all walkers. A group of families will be working on Whitehouses Pocket Park, enhancing the area for wildlife by repairing the bird boxes and weeding our new recently planted saplings. All this covered in a 3 mile walk guided by a Wendover Canal Trust volunteer.

Wendover Horticultural Society

For the next meeting, 1st June. John Tyler, a naturalist, passionate about letting wildlife in gardens, will be talking about Fungi.

There will also be an afternoon coach trip to Lords Wood, Marlow Common, including a talk, tea and cake while looking at the gardens. Cost £38, leaving 1pm on 21 June .

Wendover Bowls Club

At last all our Club competitions have been played. Well done the winners.

On the social side, our quiz evening was a great success with the questions set at just the right level, followed by a super meal. Mid month will see our pre season dinner and the opening of the green so we will be able to enjoy the delights of a British summer. Unlike cricket we play on through whatever the weather throws at us. I have only known matches stopped a couple of times, once for a monsoon and the other was a snowstorm. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a good summer.

The green is looking a bit the worse for wear at present due to ministrations of a band of delinquent rooks who have taken up mining as a hobby. Our bird scarers no longer seem to work and they have torn up patches of grass. Anyone got a recipe for rook pie?

Now for an IMPORTANT announcement. We will be holding open evenings every Friday throughout May at 6 o'clock. Do come along to the Club in Dobbins Lane and give it a go. All you need is a pair of flat shoes and we will provide bowls and tuition. We will be happy to introduce you to this delightful, and often frustrating, game. See you there.
