an oasis without using vases and I think you’ll
agree; the results look beautiful. Before
Christmas, some members will be attending the
Bucks Trefoil Guild Winter Gathering in
Wendover, where there will be activities themed
around Poppies, a soup and sandwich lunch and
where they will be entertained by the Chiltern
WI choir in the afternoon. Their next meeting
will be an enjoyable fish and chip supper
evening!
On that note I wish you all a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year! Katie Barnes
P&TG Christmas Scout Post
Our Post boxes will be available in readiness to
accept all your cards. We have recruited our
posties and our special Scout Post Christmas
Card delivery service is ready & waiting. To all
new residents in the villages, we run a
Christmas card postal service selling stamps and
delivering cards to the following areas: Manor
Farm; Tylers Green and most of Penn. You will
find information posted around the villages in
December. We will have post boxes situated at
the following places: The Village Hall; Kings
Ride Supermarket; Filippos Hairdressers;
Lansdales Pharmacy; Joe Gleeson's Butcher;
Village Shop on the Green and JJ’s
Delicatessen. They will all have our Scout-Post
boxes and they will be selling our special
stamps. The cost is £1.00 for a strip of 6
stamps. The post boxes will be out at the
beginning of December, last day for posting
Saturday 14th December. We rely on an army of
postie/helpers. We have a core of posties who
have helped us for many years and enjoy a
Sunday morning stroll delivering the cards. If
asked why not join us, it’s only a small
commitment but you will become an important
cog helping to make Scout Post work so well.
This year Scout Post is being sponsored by
fmifa. Thank you to Phil and the team for
supporting Scouting.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year from your local Scout Group.

Evening WI
Firstly, thank you to everyone who turned up
on such a miserable wet afternoon to browse
round our Craft Fair and buy some early
Christmas presents. A big thank you from us as
organisers and from all the stall holders. Our
next one is planned for March 7 so please put it
in your diary.
After our recent AGM, our new committee is
now in place and ready to arrange activities for
the year ahead. Our new programme of speakers
looks varied and interesting, hopefully with
something for everyone. Our November
meeting was a useful tasting and exchanging of
recipes along with some Christmas craft. We
will also take part in the Holy Trinity Church
Christmas Tree competition, which is well
worth a visit. In December we celebrate with
the Joyful Divas at our Christmas party.
After all the festivities a group of us are going
to the Mill at Sonning in January to dine and see
‘Singing in the Rain’. Another social occasion
coming up soon will be a wine and cheese
tasting evening, which I am sure will be very
popular.
Knit and Natter, Chomp and Chatter and
Book Club continue to meet regularly and
provide opportunities for our members to make
and develop friendships which are such an
important part of life.
If any of this sounds appealing then do come
and join in on the second Thursday of the
month, 8pm at Tylers Green Village Hall.

Morning WI
Sometimes the title of a talk sounds less than
riveting but the actual presentation turns out to
be fascinating and hugely entertaining. Such
was the case with Colin Pawson’s history of
coaches and coach horns. Members agreed it is
one of the best talks we have had.
The charity Action For Ingwavuma made a
return visit with their quality African handicrafts
for sale. We raised £332; when added to our
