NEPAL is the destination of the travel club on Thursday evening. Brian Wright will lead you around the sights of the country and perhaps reveal a little history of this part of the world that was very much closed to outsiders before 1950. The country lies between China and India and includes the southern slopes of the Himalayas that are sure to provide spectacular scenery. Guests are welcome to come along to the Barn Hall at the Community Centre on Thursday evening for an 8pm start. Admission is just £1 and there is even free tea and biscuits.

THERE IS STILL TIME to do something in the great outdoors between now and when the clocks go back. This weekend why not join a walk through some beautiful woodland setting out from Shardeloes in Old Amersham. There is also an I-spy competition for the under 16's making this suitable for all the family. Meet at the cricket pavilion on Sunday morning at 10am. The walk will finish by 4pm so bring a snack and suitable clothing in case it is cold or wet. The walk will be led by Judi Fisher from the World Wildlife Fund who can give you more information on 01494 722073.

VICTIM SUPPORT is a national charity that helps victims of crime. Specially trained volunteers offer free confidential support and information to people who have suffered as a result of a crime.

If you would like to become involved in the first instance contact Victim Support Chiltern at The Court House on King George V Road. The telephone number is 01494 732788.
