Hughenden News – Spring 2021, schedule for articles
Copy deadline: Mon 1st March
Printing: Wed 17th March
Magazine distribution: Mon 22nd March
As it is likely that we will still be under some form of Covid-19 restrictions the distribution date may have to flex.
Contributions are welcome from clubs and societies, and anyone who has a particular hobby or interest, job or post. So perhaps you have time to fill right now or a latent wish to write for the magazine. For example you could write about:
‘I always wanted to be ******, but instead I/we became ******’
‘I/we would like to organise a musical event’
‘I/we could help with Scouts, Guides, Brownies or Cubs and get then their own hut’
‘I grew up in *****’
Etc.
We are also looking for photographs illustrating your lockdown experience and particularly, good photos for in the Hughenden News and on its cover; don’t be shy.
A big thank you to all who contributed before Christmas.

Hail & Farewell – Clerks at Hughenden Parish Council
On Wednesday 22nd July Shona Hadwen, Clerk to the Hughenden Parish Council will be leaving us to return to Scotland.
Shona has been a great support locally, and to the Hughenden Valley Residents Association in particular, regularly forwarding important relevant information.
She will be missed by many of us.
On Wednesday Shona will be handing over to the new Clerk, Melanie Woof, who has worked as Deputy Chair Officer for BALC, which Parish Councils refer to for directives. She has also been a Chair of a Parish Council and will start here immediately.
We would like to wish Shona a happy future in the Isles of Scotland. Our loss is their gain.
Melanie, despite her valuable experience will find it a challenge to arrive during our down time of Covid-19, as well as liaison with the new Buckinghamshire Council, the gradually fading District Council and changes to CAPS.
Welcome and good Luck.
Angus and Janet (Co-chairs, Hughenden Valley Residents Association)
