distancing, proved too great to manage.
The next show is Saturday 26 June 2021, we
will keep the schedule for craft, art, photo and
domestic categories the same as this year and
adapt the flowers and produce to reflect the
seasons. David Deadman
Penn Pond Waders Golf Society
Following my last update, I am pleased to report
that our golf society is up and running again.
Most clubs are currently restricting the number
of people who can play at their courses for
society events. Sadly, we have had to disappoint
a few of our members who didn’t reserve their
place early enough.
30 of our members visited the challenging
Oxfordshire GC on Friday 14th August 2020.
Despite a damp, drizzly day, some excellent
scores were recorded with 6 players scoring 38
points or more:
• Kevin Croxon H/C 9: 40pts
• Roger Stewart H/C 11: 39pts
• Keith Burwood H/C 9: 39pts
• Graham Garrett-Smith H/C 14: 38pts
• Jason Philp H/C 9: 38pts
• Rod Jones H/C 14: 38pts
On Thursday 10th Sept, 24 of us made the
trip to the beautiful Hindhead GC in Surrey.
After a chilly early start to the morning, the sun
came out with most of us playing in tee shirts
and shorts by mid-morning. Dave Cooper was
the winner with 38 points closely followed by
Julian Harris and Kevin Croxon with 37/34
points respectively.
We are now looking forward to a trip to
Bournemouth in mid-October and returning to
the lovely Ashridge course in late November.
Our remaining 2020 UK events will be:
• Thurs 15th October - Remedy Oak GC
• Friday 16th October - Ferndown GC
• Friday 27th November - Ashridge GC
If you are interested in joining our friendly
Society or coming along as a guest at any of our
future events, please contact our Secretary Bob
Teuton on 07973 137446. We would love to
welcome some new Waders at some of the great

If only everybody would take their litter home
and clear outside their homes Wouldn't it be
wonderful to have a clean village? We have
been litter picking for the past few weeks and
each week collect 4 plastic bags of cans, bottles,
crisp packets etc. Litter picking can be soul
destroying but it is also very rewarding. From the
'three litter pickers of Chiltern Close'
Hazlemere Gardening Association
Like many other organisations both local and
National its been a unique year for us all. The
first time we have had to cancel our Spring and
Autumn garden shows since we started 1n 1977.
Sadly our Barn store remains closed for our
normal Sunday morning shopping and we will
not be opening again this year. However despite
depleted stocks of compost we are still running
our ‘Order & Collect service’ online till we
close in October.
I sincerely hope the Covid situation improves
sufficiently for us to re-open the barn store
safely in February, so please keep an eye on our
website for further updates. Peter Pearman
