Ride and Stride 9th September in aid of the Bucks Historic Churches Trust attracted 11 participants to our Church. Thanks to the 5 cheery “greeters” working in shifts over the day to provide a welcome, home-made cake and liquid refreshment.

An extra MacMillan Coffee morning was organised by Valerie Plumridge on 30th September for invited family and friends to thank this cancer care charity for the continuing support to her son Stewart. This raised nearly £400. Note the annual countrywide MacMillan Coffee Morning in Cadmore End on Friday 6th October under future events below.

Harvest Festival Services have been well attended with spirited renderings of “we plough the fields and scatter _ _ “. The Harvest produce donated by parishioners and a very generous amount from Cadmore End School will beshared between the One Can Trust High Wycombe Foodbank and Community Matters Lane End Foodbank. About 35 people enjoyed a delicious meal at the Harvest Supper in the Village Hall-our thanks to those who cooked the food, decorated the hall and organised the event. It raised £437.

Cricket Field-Completion of the planned improvements are likely to be delayed by the Planning permission application. We look forward to when it is finished and the grass grown again.
