have had comments that it is dangerous entering<br />
and leaving the car park and the cars parked on<br />
the road are causing congestion. We are trying<br />
to find solutions to the parking issue but in the<br />
meantime please walk to the surgery if you can,<br />
or if not then please park carefully. Thank you.<br />

Super Fun Run - 18th June<br />
Carols on the Common in December was when<br />
we presented the funds raised from the 2017<br />
Super fun Run to Buckinghamshire Mind. The<br />
Fun Run on its own had raised a significant<br />
amount, however, due to the fantastic support<br />
given to the 2 themed evenings of Fawlty<br />
Towers and Only Fools and Horses held in<br />
support of Mind, the total raised and presented<br />
to Bucks Mind was a staggering £15,000!!!<br />
It's now 2018, and we are preparing for the<br />
next Fun Run. This year we have chosen 2<br />
charities to support, “Sparkles” who are locally<br />
based and provide support and therapies for pre<br />
school Downs Syndrome children allowing<br />
them to receive the tools to help them assimilate<br />

into full time schooling, and also, "Charlies<br />
Footsteps". We have previously supported Orlas<br />
own steps, and now we want to support Charlie<br />
to enable him to achieve his own ability to<br />
walk. We hope you will support us as always in<br />
these 2 very worthy causes.<br />
As usual, it takes a lot of resources to make<br />
the event happen, from an hour here to an hour<br />
there, any support you can give will be greatly<br />
appreciated by the whole community. If you<br />
know anyone, or would yourself, like to<br />
sponsor the event in some way, please get in<br />
touch.We look forward to seeing everyone in<br />

Spring Watch on the<br />
Common 2018<br />
Last year saw the<br />
resurrection of an annual<br />
Bird survey of the<br />
Common with 3 early<br />
Sunday morning walks<br />
recording the bird species seen<br />
or heard at the time. A motley collection of<br />
“rookies” old and young turned out to be guided<br />
around the Common by one or two more<br />
knowledgeable folk including Neil Harwood,<br />
our environmental Guru. With wit and humour<br />
