Bow Brickhill Club
Despite the set-back of having no speaker for the August
meeting, club members organised a very entertaining afternoon
themselves, brining photographs, maps and memorabilia dating back over
many years.
There were maps of the village and surrounding area
dating from the seventeen hundreds, photographs from the very early days
of photography, an air-raid warden's diary and even a record of village
children's infectious diseases from the early thirties. After tea
and drawing of the raffle, betty organised a short bingo session.
Preparations are now well in hand for our canal cruise
on 5 September and we would remind club members that we need to
meet at the Pavilion at 1.00 pm at the latest to ensure that everyone
has transport to and from Leighton Buzzard. There is no need
to worry about all this happening at lunch time, as provision has been
made the the healthiest of appetites during the trip. All we need
is a warm, sunny day.
