grey VW parked there, he then had another go and this time hit the rear of the same vehicle then someone had the bright idea of standing by the back of the bus and telling him when to stop. This did the trick but having completed the manoeuvre the bus and its passengers had to wait for ages while the driver completed the necessary paperwork and car owner was located. Following this it would appear that the buses stopped coming through the village until the works were completed on Tuesday afternoon as one poor lady discovered when she was told to get off at the top of Chicheley Hill and had to walk into the village with two bags of shopping. If only the road closed sign had been located at the top end of Church Road all this palaver could have been avoided. The annual Twinning Association barbeque (for paid up members only) was held again on Sunday 13th July up at the Perry Lane sports field. The weather looked decidedly iffy in the morning but turned into a pleasant afternoon with some 68 members enjoying a well cooked barbeque and good selection of salads, puds and cheese. As usual there was the boules tournament which was well over-subscribed this year and was eventually won by one of our newest members, Steve Price, playing with a former winner, William Davis. The trophy seems to have been in the Davis family hands quite few times now. Latest news from the White Hart Danglers. Didder won the match at Wold Farm on 21.06.14 with 40 lb. This is his second win this year and he is the points leader, way ahead of Trigger in second place. Robin Storey won the match at Alders Farm on 05.07.14 with 100lb 8oz. This is the heaviest weight so far this year and has put him into third place in the points table. Danny still has the heaviest fish of the year with a Ghost Carp of 11lb 4oz caught at 3 Island Lake, Stewkley on 26.04.14 (see photo).
