Local News Wendover Water Changing Club
Over the last year I have stepped up my aquarium hobby. As we are looking forward to being able to travel on vacation again, I realize that although I have solutions for the dog, the cats, and the plants, I do not know someone who feels comfortable doing the weekly water changes and watch over the aquarium. If there is not one such yet, I am happy to coordinate a club of people who are happy to help each other on maintaining aquariums and Aquascapes. Please reach out to me at eli_kling@hotmail.com.

The best reason to get up early F l o r e n c e Nightingale Hospice Charity asking everyone to set their alarm A scene from the 2020 clocks for 5am NOT The Midnight Walk on Saturday 10 July and join hundreds of others (virtually) for a dawn walk to raise crucial funds to support the Hospice. “Whilst we are disappointed not to be able to go ahead with our traditional Midnight Walk, we had such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to last year’s event that we are confident that it will be a great success and raise a fantastic amount of money to help fund local hospice care again,” says Julie Chittie, Events Manager at the Charity. This year Walkers are again being asked to walk a minimum of 5 miles, wherever they want, starting at 5am on Saturday 10 July. The event is open to all, whatever your age and wherever you are in the world - last year saw lots of children (and dogs) join in so this year the Charity are offering children's T-shirts and dog bandanas so everyone can be a part of the event.
The Midnight Walk is a long-standing and major fundraiser for the Charity, and with their income hit so badly over the past year, they are hoping everyone will get behind them by signing up to this year’s virtual event and help to raise the thousands of pounds needed to help secure the future of local hospice care. For more information and to sign up, please visit www.fnhospice.org.uk/ notthemidnightwalk or call 01296 429975.
Thanks to Local Businesses
I would like to express thanks to all the businesses in Wendover that have done so well in keeping us all going despite everything that the virus and its consequences have thrown at them. Everyone will have their particular stars and it’s very unfair to single any out, but I’m going to anyway: Budgens of course (and their brilliant band of newspaper deliverers), Wendover Plaice, Lloyds pharmacy, Crumbs café and The Spice Garden. Also Tesco, George & Dragon, Cammack opticians, the Post Office and The Bakers Shop. A big thank you too to the businesses who, despite being closed regularly, changed their window displays to give us something new to look at during our walks. Thanks must also go to Rumseys for their outdoor table service (and to the Parish Council for letting them). We were among those who were rather sad when the Manor Waste was resurfaced but hasn’t it proved its worth. Unlike so many places, Wendover is rarely deserted and it’s been so good to see people out and about (and invariably with a cup in their hands!), proving to all that Wendover might be sleeping; it is certainly not dead. Who knows how things are going to pan out over the next few weeks and months, but we are so lucky to live here. Margaret Cole
