Hallmark April 1985. by Patience Rowden
Plans are well under way for the Village Day on July 6th. All the local societies and clubs have agreed to hold a stall of some kind. Ploughman's lunches are to be served in the Village Hall along with other attractions. We are also hoping to get at least one hot air balloon to take off from the village in the afternoon. A tug-of-war competition is also to take place.
The Windmill Society are opening the Windmill and, weather permitting, will get the sails going. There will be displays by the Chiltern Society and the National Trust. Lacey Green Productions will be putting on a street theatre during the afternoon.
The raffle should be terrific. Prizes are pouring in; Ladymans of High Wycombe have donated a holiday accommodation voucher for two in a U.K. hotel of choice.
We are starting the day with a band, followed by a children's fancy dress parade, and closing with a 60s Disco and Supper in the Village Hall. The full programme and timing of events will be in the next issue of the magazine.
Proceeds from the Day will go to local charities. All those who have agreed to have a stall, and should contact Mrs Pat Smart (Hon. Secretary ) on P.R. 6102 as soon as possible. Anyone else with ideas or suggestions, or who is willing to help, please contact a committee member.
Committee: Peter Perejra (Chairman), Pat Smart, Pam Dell, Patience Rowden, Jane Pereira, Lilian Curnow, Connie Baker, Bill Cleaver, Ted Janes, Michael Hardy.

Hallmark October 1985. Meeting following Village Day
A poorly attended meeting that took place in September was a niggardly, bad mannered and unhappy meeting and after such a happy day itself it's difficult to explain away. Anyway it was agreed that the event would alternate, each year, with Lacey Green Productions, the next Village Day to be held in 1987. Michael Hardy, Pam Dell and Patience Rowden are to act as a holding committee to keep the functions organisation ticking over.
