Wicket Women

of Beaconsfield

Six years ago, a group of mums, waiting

at the clubhouse for their children to finish

cricket training, decided to pick up a bat

and have a go at the sport themselves.

They started tentatively with a soft ball, but quickly

got into the swing, developing their new found

skills and initiating a whole new women and girls’

section at the club in the process. Fast-forward to

2022 and you will now find almost 150 women

and girls enjoying the sport at Beaconsfield CC,

one of the biggest female sections in the country.

The women’s team has evolved and grown and, if

the start of this season is any indication, they have

become a force to be reckoned with.

This season began with a European tournament

in Spain, with Beaconsfield bringing home the

trophy after defeating Roma in a closely contested

final.

In May, they began their campaign in the Home

Counties Women’s Cricket League Super 8s

Development competition, beating all comers on

the way to a spectacular win against Ampthill in

the final.

With two trophies already in the cabinet, the

team moves on to the 11 a-side Home Counties

competition. We wish them well!

Ukrainians

welcomed to

Beaconsfield

Dozens of families in Beaconsfield and the

surrounding area have opened their doors

to those fleeing war torn Ukraine - over 80

women and children are now staying in the

area. Children arriving from areas across

Ukraine have been offered places at schools

in Beaconsfield, Farnham Common and

Amersham.

Ruth Allchurch is hosting Alona and her two

children, all from Kiev, in her family home in

Burnham. Ruth said: “We have been sharing

our home for a week and it has honestly been

extraordinary, humbling and life affirming.” Alona

said: “We have been treated like family since we

arrived. We are very grateful to our sponsors for

all they have done.”

Volunteers are organising weekly get-togethers

for Ukrainian guests at the Dove Café in St

Thomas’s Church in Mayflower Way, Holtspur.

The charity’s transport service matches volunteer

which host families cannot accommodate, whilst

English language teaching is being co-ordinated

by former TEFL and teaching staff.

to support those

most affected by an

unforeseen global

crisis.” Revd Johnson,

people are putting their own concerns on hold, in

order to welcome strangers into their own homes.”

The Lemon family are also amongst those

offering space in their home to Ukrainian mothers

Romanna and her two children, and Myla and

her two young boys. They also have the boys’

grandmother, Tetiana, staying. “Our daughters

have left home and we had space, so my husband

and I were delighted to be able to help. They

already feel like part of the family - we are sharing

the cooking and there is never a dull moment,”

said Cathy Lemon, hosting with her husband,

Harry at their home in Farnham Common.

Reverend Johnson has his own important personal

connection with Ukraine, as his wife Yulia Johnson

Fedorenko - also volunteering with BCB - is from

the country. “For me, Ukraine is my motherland,

it’s a place where my family lives,” said Yulia. “I

feel very grateful to British people, many of whom

opened their houses and hearts to strangers.”

Local businesses including Emile de Londres, The

Shed, Haringtons, The Beech House, Amersham

Swimming Club, Sports Nut, Clare’s Court School

and Formative Content have offered their support

to our Ukrainian visitors.

For their part, Cathy Lemon’s guests are glad to

be settled here for the moment. But they just want

the war to be over so that they can return to their

homes and their family.

FINANCIAL NEWS

Investment Planning:

Don’t let caution get

the better of you.

Until relatively recently, inflation wasn’t a

serious concern.

The UK hadn’t seen persistent price rises since

the 1970s. Today, there are reasons to be more

concerned. Supply shortages and bottlenecks,

higher energy costs, increases in wages to attract

staff in sectors finding it difficult to recruit and the

government unwinding covid support schemes are

pushing up prices. While central banks continue

to suggest that the rises are “transitory”, many

economists are assuming inflation will settle at a

higher level than it has over the past few decades.

When inflation rises quickly, the Bank of England will

tackle it by raising interest rates. They work on the

principle that when borrowing is more expensive,

people will have less to spend, and prices will go down

in response. However, if inflation is caused by external

forces – such as the global squeeze on energy prices,

then raising interest rates may not solve the problem.

This may be an issue for investors. Even if inflation stays

in line with the Bank of England’s targets, long-term

investors need their savings to grow by around 2% a year

just to ensure it maintains its purchasing power.

The most important rule for any long-term investor

is to avoid “reckless caution”. Investors often don’t

recognise that there is a risk associated with keeping

their long-term savings in cash because their capital

value stays the same, but their buying power will be

progressively less and less. One of fm’s 7 principles

of investing is – don’t just invest in cash. Every

investor does need emergency funds but for longer

term investment plans, other asset classes will

offer better prospects for capital growth and

potentially beat the perils of inflation.

LOCAL BUSINESS

How to make your

bathroom more

eco-friendly?

Did you know whilst 90% of packaging is

recycled within our kitchens, only 50% is

being recycled by consumers in the bathroom.

As a result, our recyclable bathroom waste

accounts for 30% – 40% of total landfill waste

(Chartered Institution of Waste Management).

What many people don’t realise is that there are

excellent plastic free or reusable alternatives to

the single use plastic items we use daily. Below is a

summary of some of the great alternatives available:

Toothpaste tablets

A fantastic way to swap out plastic toothpaste tubes

is with a refillable glass jar of “toothpaste tabs”.

These little tablets do everything that toothpaste

does but contain cleaner ingredients, pack a mintier

punch and are zero waste. All you do is chew for 3-5

seconds and brush as normal!

Reusable

deodorant sticks

There are some

great refillable

alternatives to

disposable plastic

deodorants which

also use all natural

ingredients. You

may wonder if

these work as

well but you’d be

surprised with how

good the results are and all whilst being toxin-free.

Reusable cotton swabs

An easy replacement to combat the billions of

single-use cotton swabs that are consumed every

day. There are reusable swabs available which are

high quality, super durable and easy to clean with

water and a little soap. And most importantly can be

used safely up to 1,000 times.

Reusable make up remover pads

No need to purchase single use pads over & over

again, reusable organic cotton pads are available.

They are plastic-free, super soft, washable and

biodegradable.

Nappies

“Eco nappies” are now widely available and replace

the majority of fossil-fuel based plastic components

with biodegradable materials such as bamboo and

corn starch. The other big benefit here is that these

are also free from nasty chemicals and are much

kinder to a baby’s skin.

Eco-Homemaker, an online shopping platform, is

on a mission to make your life easier when it comes

to eco-friendly shopping for your family. All of the

above products are available on their website and

are tried and tested by the local owners and their

young family.

EYE NEWS

Protect your eyes

from the sun

Do you take the same care of your eyes as you

do your skin?

Over 60 you are more likely to develop cataracts.

Wearing sunglasses helps to protect exposure to

UV. As we are living longer and travelling to hotter

climates it is advisable to start protecting our eyes

from a young age. There are numerous choices

of lenses, so ask your optician about the benefits

of each. Polarising lenses reduce glare. They stop

reflected light from wet roads and cars. They are

great for water sports, fishing, skiing and are often

described as restful when you wear them. I compare

them to HD TV as (to me) everything seems more

defined.

There are benefits to a graduated tint which is darker

at the top of the lens. The darker shading at the top

is good when the sun is high in the sky and if you

are out and about as you can still see where you are

stepping when you go inside . The tint colour is also

a consideration.

Brown makes the world look cheery and the red

and green of traffic lights and verges will stand out.

Brown hues are helpful for some eye conditions

where there are macular changes. Grey is a neutral

colour and good for light sensitivity whilst green is

good on a day with bright cloud cover. Ask your

optician to look at your current sunglasses. With time

the lens colour can change and the frame can warp

if left in direct heat. However ‘cool’ your sunglasses

look on the beach you should also have full coverage

and a good fit, especially important if they are to do

what’s intended. Your optician can show you lens

options, explain lens categories and advise you on

your selection.

Then you can sit back and enjoy the sun assured that

your eyes are protected.

Beaconsfield

Market

celebrates its

40th anniversary

Beaconsfield Tuesday Market

celebrated its 40th anniversary in

April this year and invited guest,

The Right Honourable Jenefer

Farncombe shared some facts

about the origins of the market:

“The original charter for a weekly

Tuesday market was granted in 1255

by Henry III to his brother Richard,

Earl of Cornwall, who subsequently

endowed Burnham Abbey with the

rights.

“When our family bought Hall Barn in 1880,

Edward Levy Lawson, the first Baron Burnham,

acquired the title Lord of the Manor, with

the various duties and benefits that came

with it. This entitlement continued down the

generations of our family who lived at Hall

Barn. My father, the Fifth Baron Burnham,

decided to revive the Manor’s right to hold a

Tuesday market in 1982, which proved very

successful with Old Town residents, for its

proximity.“

The Abbess later obtained the Fair Charter as

well. In 1414, the Abbess of Burnham sought

confirmation for the benefits the royal ascent

to the market gave to the Abbey as Lord of the

Manor. This was granted, but the market was

held on various different days of the week, and

gradually petered out”.

Roger Glanville, (father to Richard from

Glanville Framing) was one of the original

marketers back in April 1982. Richard also

joined the celebrations and recounts his

memories of the early days of trading 40

years ago …

“With dozens of market traders turning up

to a new weekly market in a quiet part of

Beaconsfield Old Town it was obvious that

locals would be apprehensive. Early morning


40th

40th 40th

40th

40th

noise as stalls were set up were one of the

concerns, therefore strict rules were introduced

not to start setting up before 7.30 am.”

“As time passed, the locals welcomed us, even

the previous complainants became customers.

The elderly found the market very convenient

and love to come and have a chat. On cold

winter days we were often supplied with hot

drinks and mince pies at Christmas, this made

it a very pleasant days work for the traders. The

site was originally gravel which made it very

dirty on wet days and dusty on dry days, It was

finally resurfaced with tarmac. Word soon got

round regarding the success of the market and

traders began turning up from far and wide.

Every available space was filled, contributing to

the success.”

Please support this wonderful market, opens

every Tuesday from 8.30am (plant stall from

8am) until around 2pm. Follow on Facebook /

Beaconsfieldmarket. For stall-information

contact Andy (market manager) on: 07795 547

705 or see him on the household store.

Celebrating

40 years

trading at

Beaconsfield!

Mrs Farncombe attended the recent 40th

Anniversary celebration, with the Mayor of

Beaconsfield, Alastair Pike and his partner,

Varvara Neiman. Jenefer commented, “I am

delighted to say that the Tuesday market has

flourished since 1985 and has been of particular

benefit during the pandemic when the traders

kept going throughout, whenever permitted,

because people felt so much safer shopping

outdoors. It’s also a colourful and beneficial

asset to Beaconsfield, upholding an ancient

tradition which adds to the charm of the town.”

Garden in the Old Town,

where Cllr Alex Dunlop and

We held 3 events to

mark the Queen’s Jubilee

starting off with the Town

Crier, Richard Smith,

making The Proclamation

on the Town Hall Green

on 2nd June. This was

followed by a speech

from the Mayor Cllr Pike,

who then introduced the

Burnham Concert Band

who entertained everyone


his volunteers erected the

Brazier that Neil Thomson

had fabricated for the

Beacon Lighting ceremony.

It sat 3 metres high on a

sturdy oak beam donated

by TimberStore. It looked

spectacular! We had

entertainment from the

Beaconsfield Music and

Operatic Society, food

provided by The Beacon

Bisto, drinks from Eddie

at the London Mobile Bar

Company and sound and

lights from Andy Webb at

Out of this World.

It was a wonderful turnout

from the town who came

to see David Finlayson,

the Bagpiper perform

Diu Regnare, Kami Nagi

the Buglar play the fanfare,

Majesty and as the

beacon took like, BMOS

performed the Song for

the Commonwealth. The

crowd gave a spontaneous

rendition of the National

Anthem and enjoyed the

amazing atmosphere while

watching the flames against

the darkening sky. A truly

magical evening.

On Sunday morning, there

was a full civic service at

St Mary’s attended by the

Hon Jenefer Farncombe

as our Deputy Lieutenant,

the Mayor Cllr Alastair

Pike and our MP Joy

Morrissey.

In the evening, there was

a community event at

St Mary’s where Sean

Groombridge led an

orchestra and choir in

Beaconsfield Sings!

A rousing evening of

music and hymns from

around the Union and with

regional and international

performers.

Thank you all for

supporting all the events

that took place in the

town.

Well done Beaconsfield!

The Beaconsfield

Beacon/Brazier

I was delighted to be asked by my

fellow Councillor Sandy Saunders if I

would join the Community and Safety

Committee a few months ago to help

arrange the local Platinum Jubilee

celebrations.

The first item discussed was the

construction of a brazier, which I took

on the responsibility for managing. The

useful guide published by the Palace

provided directions on how to build the

brazier. While we initially decided to build

it to the scale recommended, we soon

realised the beacon would be far too big

for the area we had planned to install it.

As a result, the size was ultimately reduced

by 50% but we managed to retain all its

grandeur nonetheless.

During the build I enlisted the help of Neil

Thomson, a skilled welder and fabricator

who lives in Holtspur and works in the Old

Town of Beaconsfield as well.

The first step involved sourcing the metal

to make the basket, which Neil

then worked on in his spare time and

weekends, cutting, grinding, and welding

the frame. We also enlisted the help of

MT Perry Engineering Ltd who supplied

the materials required and cut to size the

base which they welded together for us.

The wooden post and supports which

stood 3.5 meters high were kindly donated

from Timberstore Beaconsfield.


The Beacon was erected on the green

space by St Mary & All Saints Church in

the earlymorning on Thursday 2nd June

with the help of six people as it was quite

a weight! In the evening as the sun set,

preparations to light the Beacon began

with Diu Regnare performed on Bagpipes,

followed by a fanfare (Majesty) to herald

the lighting. Finally, Beaconsfield

Operatic Society serenaded the lighting

of the Beacon at 9:45pm with A Song for

the Commonwealth.

I am delighted to say that the electronic

ignition worked perfectly (phew!) and the

beacon lighting ceremony was enjoyed by

the hundreds that turned out.

A huge thank you to all those who

supported our event and attended to

make it one of the best celebrations in

the area.

Running for

amazing charities

The long-awaited Gerrard’s Cross

Fun Run took place on Sunday

22nd May. The sun shone and the

community came together to watch

and applaud friends and family run

5km round the streets of our pretty

village. For younger runners there

was a new 1km event, and for the

New friends were made, and others renewed

on East Common, as the music played,

delicious food cooked by the awardwinning

Ginger Chef was enjoyed by

many; games were played, and children

and adults were entertained by the various

activities. It was a fabulous family fun day

enjoyed by all.

OUT AND ABOUT

History of

Bernwood Forest

Fancy a stroll through time?

Why not take a trip to Bernwood

forest, OX33 1BJ.

It’s one of several ancient forests across

England, meaning parts of the woodland

have attained great age without significant

disturbance and thereby exhibit unique

ecological features. Many of the trees you’ll

see during the walk are over 700 years old.

Buck’s very own time machine, the site was best

known as a hunting ground for the royals in the

10th century. It was thought to have been the

day out of choice for Anglo-Saxon kings when

they needed an escape from the palace at Brill.

Edward the Confessor, who was born locally in

Islip was believed to be a regular. In the 12th

Century King Henry II unknowingly provided

us with an invaluable tool in helping define the

forest’s ancient boundaries, when he prepared

a map of the forest in order to divide up the

land amongst his nobles.

winter months so the best time to visit is in

spring and summer. With plenty of beautiful

butterflies to keep the children occupied and

the opulent history for the adults, the woods

make an ideal spot for the whole family. With

the cost of living at an all-time high and purse

strings tightening, we are pleased to confirm

that the woodland trails and parking are free

and mostly all buggy friendly.

Ancient trees are irreplaceable, witnessing

momentous historical events while providing

invaluable homes for wildlife. The older the

tree, the more vital to wildlife it becomes. We

need your help in protecting them! Not only

ancient trees but many of Buckinghamshire’s

woodlands and green spaces are under threat.

At CPRE we believe that the countryside is

for everybody, and that a beautiful, thriving

countryside enriches all our lives.

We are a national charity with a network

of local groups in every county. We have

almost a century of experience in campaigning

for the countryside. The CPRE network has

played a central role in the creation of National

Parks and Green Belts. To find out more

about the work we are doing, please visit

www.cprebucks.org.uk.

If the rich history alone doesn’t make this day

out appealing, the wood is also known as a

haven for butterflies. There is believed to

be around forty species living here, making

Bernwood one of the most important habitats

in Britain. Butterflies tend to hibernate in the

How to reduce heat loss from your

home - the’ fabric first’ approach

We all know that we are being asked to

do ‘our bit’ in being more eco-friendly.

How can we achieve this in our homes? A family

asked EcoTiffin to do just that and after enlisting

their help, they commented, “EcoTiffin saved us

37% in energy bills whilst increasing our square

footage by 35%, giving us a warm and welcoming

home.”

Moisture in brickwork is the worst possible

ingredient to have in your property and every effort

should be made to prevent the ingress of moisture.

Moisture in the brickwork reduces the brick’s thermal

capacity to retain heat and it has a chilling effect like

a fridge on your home. Solid brick walls are by far

the worst. Remember; wet walls are cold walls!

The fabric first approach is essential when improving

insulation to roofs, walls, floors and windows and are

just some of the ways of reducing heat-loss. The use

of thermography (thermal imaging) is an exciting

and relatively new application in the building world.

If you want to identify areas of excessive heat loss

in your home and create an eco-friendly building,

using thermographic equipment, is a good place

to start.

Robert Tiffin (descendant of the original family)

and highly respected building expert and Quantity

Surveyor, has seen a rise in the number of families

wanting to make their homes work more efficiently.

Evidence from thermograms help to provide much

of the data to substantiate Robert’s bespoke reports

for each property in “seeing the unseen”. To

the trained eye, the results can reveal important

information enabling a clear diagnosis. Home

owners look forward to maximising their comfort

to a warm, cosy and cost effective, healthier

environment for themselves and their families.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains

dogs to alert deaf children and adults

to important and life-saving sounds they

would otherwise miss, such as smoke

alarms, alarm clocks, oven timers and even

baby monitors and text message alerts.

A hearing dog also provides lots of love,

companionship and emotional support, which is

equally as important. The charity’s clever canines

help deaf people to reconnect with life and leave

loneliness behind.

This year marks Hearing Dogs’ 40th anniversary

and four decades of training amazing hearing

dogs. Since Hearing Dogs was founded in 1982,

where the first dog was trained in the living room

of long-standing staff member, Gill Lacey, the

charity’s supporters have helped thousands of

deaf people, practically and emotionally.

This year, Hearing

Dogs will be

hosting several

events at its training

centre in Saunderton and virtually to celebrate its

40th anniversary with volunteers, supporters and

the public. Kicking off the celebrations is the Late

Summer Show on Sunday 11th September, which

is a great day of family fun with games, food and

drink stalls, rides and a fun dog show.

Anyone looking to celebrate Hearing Dogs’ 40th

birthday and help a deaf person can donate to their

LEGAL ADVICE

Why is it important to consider pensions

on relationship breakdown?

Pension rights are often the single largest asset in

marriages or civil partnerships. This is particularly the case

where a person has served as a police officer, a member

of the armed forces or in other public sector roles.

Despite this, a survey by Which? found that only 15 per cent of

divorcing couples include pensions in their financial settlement.

There could be many reasons for this, including that people often

underestimate the value of their pensions, given that the benefit to

them feels rather distant.

However, overlooking a pension can leave former spouses or civil

partners with insufficient income on retirement. There are a range of

options available when dealing with pensions.

So, what are they?

Pension offsetting

The value of a pension is offset against the value of other assets

held between the parties. The non-pension assets are distributed

more in favour of one party to take into account that the other

party will have a greater pension provision. This does not involve

the court making a pension order and the pension remains with the

pension member.

party to the other. This provides the recipient with a separate

pension fund of their own. However, not all pensions are capable

of being shared.

Pension attaching

This requires the pension member to pay a percentage of their

pension income to the other party when the pension becomes

payable. The recipient effectively “attaches” themself to the

pension, as opposed to the pension being divided into two

separate pension funds.

Where appropriate, we will suggest the use of pension experts (eg.

independent financial advisors and/or actuaries) to gather relevant

information about your pensions and consider the exercise of the

court’s powers in your specific circumstances.

Once terms have been agreed between the parties, or determined

by the court at a Final Hearing, a financial remedy order should be

drafted and sealed by the court. This will include details of how

the pensions are to be dealt with, whether that be for the parties

to retain their own pensions, or for the pension to be shared or

attached.

Ultimately, it is important not to forget about

pensions when trying to reach a financial agreement,

and also to obtain legal advice when considering

your pensions, to ensure that you achieve the right

Fun runs, school fees,

and planting trees

Following their marathon run for

Mental Health Foundation in 2021,

local financial planners Walter &

Partners were one of the proud

sponsors of the Gerrards Cross Fun Run.

The firm’s CEO Ben Walter attended the event

and, along with cheering on the runners, was

able to speak with many people in the local

community about their financial planning matters

and running achievements.

Ben commented, “many of the people I spoke

to were interested in ways to plan for school and

university fees, while high inflation is eroding the

value of their savings. By planning ahead and

using tax-efficient investments, families can make

provisions for these costs”.

While Ben didn’t have plans to run any more

marathons in a hurry, after meeting with local

charity Liberty’s Legacy (Liberty’s Legacy is a

special fund of the Bone Cancer Research Trust

raising vital funds for

life-saving research into

Ewing sarcoma.), he has volunteered to run in the

Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for them

in October.

Asking Ben about their charity plans for 2022, he

explained, “This year, we wanted to do something

linked with building sustainable financial plans

and investing for the future. Working with the

Woodlands Trust, we will plant enough trees to

offset 5.5 tonnes of carbon emissions for every

new client we take on”.

A study by the charity revealed 5.5 tonnes was the

amount of carbon emission the average person in

the UK is responsible for each year.

A to Z of adventure

for Beavers

Over 820 Beaver Scouts (boys and girls

aged 6 to 8) had an adventurous day at

the Buckinghamshire Scouts Beaveree.

Abseiling, circus skills, climbing, face

painting, golf, inflatables, orienteering,

water rockets and zorbing were just some

of the activities the children enjoyed.

Lewis’ mother Anneka said, “Beavers had been

good for Lewis. It’s helped with his social skills

and he is learning about how to be independent.

He has made new friends and his confidence

has grown. Beavers has also given him the

opportunity of doing a wide range of activities

outside of school.”

Adult volunteer Helena Brookes who became

a volunteer 18 months ago said, “I became a

volunteer with Scouts as I wanted to give my

daughter Alice, the same experiences I had as a

child.” She said, “Being a volunteer has helped

me build relationship with the parents of children

in the Colony. I have engaged with people in

the community, and have learnt some first aid

skills.” Helena added, “There is a need for more

volunteers so more children can have the types of

adventures that Alice is having.”

Safe & gentle ear wax

removal at a clinic

near you

What is ear wax?

What is it, why do we have it in our ears and why does it sometimes cause hearing loss. Earwax, also known

as cerumen, is produced inside your ears to keep them clean and free of germs. It usually passes out of the

ears harmlessly, but sometimes too much can build up and block the ears.

It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some

protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water. In other words, ear wax is a good thing!

The amount of ear wax that the body produces differs from person to person, the amount that is retained

within the ear also differs for each of us - these differences are for a number of reasons; Age; Diet; Lifestyle;

Personal anatomy; Genetics; Ethnicity.

Many people will produce a small amount of wax their whole lives, which leaves the ear canal naturally, and

never have any problem with it. For others, their ear will produce a larger amount of wax, which will not

fully leave the ear canal and will become blocked, which leads to them having reduced hearing ability and also

a blocked feeling in the ear.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

• Pressure in the ears

• Blocked feeling in the ears

• Need to pop your ears but can’t

• Sudden loss of hearing or muffles sound

• Hearing aids whistling

• Underperforming hearing aids

CHARITY COMMUNITY NEWS NEWS

Fashion show

for Ukraine

Jak & Liza Independent Boutique

recently held a charity event in their

store in the heart of the New Town

in Beaconsfield.- “Fashion show for

Ukraine”

A great opportunity to dress up and enjoy

fashion and styling not to be missed by the

local ladies - and surprisingly - a few gents!

The models volunteered their time to shimmy

down the catwalk, refreshingly a mix of ages

and sizes to showcase the ageless trends that

Sam prides herself on in the shop’s summer

collection.

The evening started with complementary

canapés from China Diner and Prosecco

from The Beech House. How lovely to have

such great support from both of these local

restaurants. After a difficult couple of years

for many businesses along the high street,

everyone came together in full support at

such a needy time. The chosen charity was

the Pokorova Orphanage in Zolochiv, Ukraine

(chosen by the lovely Nina who works at the

boutique and is Ukranian.)

Very much a

family affair with

the shop’s owner

Sam Kenwright,

accompanied her

grown-up twins

Jake and Grace,

the staff, and

loyal customers.

Finally, there was a live auction and raffle

where many local businesses contributed

prizes for which 100% of the funds raised

went directly to the charity. The auction prizes

included a Pod for 8 People with food and

drink donated by The Lion of Beaconsfield.

Directors’ box tickets and lounge passes for

an Everton game at Goodison next season.

Some fabulous art from Jennie Roberts and

Absolutely Hanging.

Complimentary gym membership from The

David Lloyd, and other prizes. The auction

and ticket sales managed to raise a whopping

£3200 for the charity.

The photographer Paul Mason at Beaconsfield

Studios did a great job in recording the event in

the evening!
