AGM of the Community Association on Friday evening could have blamed the glorious weather for the low attendance. Another successful year was reported with a continuing maintenance programme on facilities. In 2004 windows and doors along the back of the centre were replaced and a new control system for stage lighting and sound was installed. It was reported that the number of party and wedding bookings had increased which boosted revenue.

QUARTER FINAL CHALLENGES tonight at the community centre when the Claytons School PTA take on the Distaff side. Claytons will come with their young supporters who will be cheering on their parents in the team. A usual the Distaff team will be strong players who have been there before and know that there's a place in the Finals is they're successful.

In the other quarter final Kevin's Killers will face up to the Also Rans. Both were new teams last year and the Also Rans went on to be the champions. Questions start at 8pm. COFFEE AND CAKES are the attraction tomorrow morning in St Dunstan's Church hall from 10am to midday. There's always a sale of good quality clothes and household goods. FLOWER CLUB MEETS on Tuesday evening at 8pm in the centre theatre when national demonstrator, Athena Tulba, will present "Nature and her overflowing soul". It is certain to be a wonderful show with a fabulous array of flowers filling the stage by the end of the demonstration. Members are grateful to Athena for standing in, at short notice, as Edna Johnson is ill. Entry for visitors is £6 but free to members. Raffle winners take home the displays created during the evening.

75 YEARS will be celebrated by the Chiltern and Castle Townswomens Guild on Friday, June 10 with an evening of entertainment in the Centre.

COULD YOU DONATE a gift for the tombola which is an attraction at the Village Fete around the Community Centre on Saturday, June 11? Maybe there's an unwanted gift, a spur-of-the-moment purchase or just a need for more space. Hand your tombola donation into the centre office during opening hours or you can leave it behind the bar, marked for the tombola.
