Sunday 11 October Wendover Celebrates 2016
Wendover Celebrates will return in May 2016. The Directors are currently in discussion with potential venues in order to secure a specific date but most likely will be Sunday 1 May to fall in with the Bank Holiday. As many already know, the operations of the company are the responsibility of the directors who are supported by a wider committee of volunteers. We are very lucky to have a small number of volunteers who are returning to help with the next event but we need more support to make sure this happens. The Directors are keen to attract volunteers who would like to sit on any of the the three committees; Finance, Marketing & Logistics particularly if you have professional expertise in those areas. If you don’t, please don’t let that stop you. There are people from all backgrounds getting involved in all sorts of ways, so if you would like to lend a hand in however large or small a way please get in touch: info@wendovercelebrates.org.uk. Coming soon - Wendover Celebrates Quiz.

Wendover Celebrates should be an opportunity for the people of Wendover to celebrate everything they love about living here, but should also act as a beacon to demonstrate to others what a great place Wendover is to be.

Wendover people have commented that a crane is dominating the skyline as Wendover News goes to press. Winterton House in Hale Road was built in 1871-3 as the Vicarage for Wendover. Designed by the architect George Devey it was awarded Grade II listing on 11 October 1985 and is English Heritage Building ID: 42808. The crane is being used by Ortus Homes to create Ridgeway Place, which will contain 21 luxury apartments: 5 in the old building, the others new build.
