Here is the October/November issue of Bourne End's community magazine "Target"

.

Congratulations fill the front page of this issue as our villages can celebrate winning the Pushman Cup in the Best Kept Village Competition organised by Buckinghamshire Council. Pictures to follow in the next issue. Then brave paddlers dealt with awful weather and arrived in sunshine as part of their fund raising in memory of a young barber, wife and mother, who died from cancer. After a wonderful summer the bank holiday weather was atrocious on the River Thames but the paddlers were determined to do the miles and make it to The Bounty for an afternoon of fund raising, music and fun.

Community Centre pages are full of posters for the autumn along with reports from Angling and Forum Players. We read that ‘Cinderella’ is the chosen pantomime for 2027 and the amateur dramatic group, who have been part of the Community Centre since it opened in the 1960s, are set for another great start to the year with their version of this magical pantomime.

On page seven Wooburn Residents Association talk about their Christmas treat for the children at the end of November on Saturday 28 when Santa visits the Wooburn Club for an afternoon of fun, games and a chance to talk to the man himself about what should go in those Christmas stockings.

Wooburn and Bourne End Parish Council have a page of news on page eight and this includes details of the newly appointed parish clerk along with a new councillor. On page 14 Friends of Bourne End Library have a very special evening on November 20 when author Jim Holden will come along to talk about his book on Garibaldi. Not to be missed so book tickets soon. On page 17 there’s a story about a newly restored hidden garden in Wooburn Town thanks to the work of volunteers. It comes with a question about Catherine Heard-Trice and the date of 1937. Who was she and why does she have a memorial stone in this formerly derelict piece of land?

Past Times on page 32 offers the chance to look back on the early days of Bourne End Residents Association from a recently found report by their chairman Brian Wheals. It makes fascinating reading. Page 33 offers stamps at great prices as we move towards Christmas and funds raised go to help Target magazine. Plenty more to read in this autumn issue along with a fascinating Falcon quiz.

A retirement is planned and you can get all the details from the article on page 29. Is it really 45 years?
