Front Cover: Students from <strong>Amersham</strong> School<br />

elcome to the <strong>Sept</strong>ember and<br />

<strong>Oct</strong>ober <strong>issue</strong>! It’s all about<br />

back-to-school and getting ready<br />

for Autumn.<br />

If you are parents with children receiving<br />

A-level and GCSE results this August, I hope<br />

they got the results they needed. Our school<br />

open day tips (p12) and listings (p14) may help<br />

you decide on the right school for your child.<br />

Thanks to <strong>Amersham</strong> School for providing my<br />

front cover; the students all look as though<br />

they are having lots of fun! Exercise is so<br />

important in so many ways, and if you want a<br />

challenge why not consider the Gerrards Cross<br />

5km? I’m on the committee organising this<br />

event and know the effort employed arranging<br />

it! (p18)<br />

Lots of community news: congratulations<br />

to Chalfont St Giles for winning Best Kept<br />

Village. Meet the <strong>Amersham</strong> Market Traders on<br />

p24-26 and <strong>Amersham</strong> firefighters, who provide<br />

an exceptional service to the area and urgently<br />

need part-time fire-fighters. (p22) We all need<br />

to look after our planet, and Healthright in<br />

Chesham can help us (p27)<br />

Exciting news: in the next <strong>issue</strong> I will be<br />

launching a new look and name for both<br />

magazines in <strong>Amersham</strong> & Chalfonts and<br />

Beaconsfield. I feel passionate about the<br />

communities in which we live and my vision is<br />

to help connect as many businesses, charities,<br />

organisations and people together. Look out<br />

for the new name!<br />

Keep safe and see you in November.<br />
