  • HAGA Meeting – Friday 30 May 2025 at 8.00pm

    Looking forward to seeing as many of you that can make the HAGA meeting on this coming Friday, 30 May 2025 at 8.00pm.   

    John Tyler will be talking to us on “In the forests of Borneo”.  The tropical rainforests of Borneo are among the richest and most ancient on Earth, home to Orangutans, headhunting tribes and a wealth of colourful wildlife.  In John’s illustrated talk we will meet some of the forest residents, discover the threats that they face and see how their future depends on us.

    Norma Hill and Barbara Blackett will be serving the tea and coffee.

    At this meeting you will be able to sign up for the remaining 2 day visits we have organised for 2025, as follows:

    • Saturday 26 July 2025 – Cambridge University Botanic Garden

    For those who already have their names down for this trip, please note on the sign-up sheet whether or not you would like to join the guided tour of the Botanic Garden at an additional cost of £7 per person;

    • Wednesday 3 September 2025 – Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre & The National Herb Centre.

    As there is no HAGA meeting at the end of June, Friday is the last meeting at which you can sign up for the trip to Cambridge University Botanic Garden.  After that you are welcome to contact me to sign up for either trip (Diana Dove diana.dove@btinternet.com)

  • Hughenden News Summer 2025

    We are starting to put together the Summer edition of Hughenden News.  We welcome articles on almost any topic related to life in Hughenden Valley, Bryants Bottom & Cryers Hill, and a bit wider afield! So if you run a club or society, have attended or are planning an event (Do you have any good pictures from VE Day street parties?), or think that there is a topic that should be brought to a wider audience then do get writing.

    We would like to hear your stories about village life, growing up in the village, are you “valley born” or “just arrived”, & do you have any photos to share – ancient or modern? We can help you develop the text.

    Please send material, by 14th June to magazine@hughendenresidents.org . Also use that address if you have any questions.

    Please provide photographs & graphics as separate files to the text.

    Finally, some previous editions of the magazine are available on-line at https://hughendenresidents.org/magazine/

  • Nature Quest on 7th June, Hughenden Valley Climate Group,

    We are holding a Nature Quest on 7th June at the Church from 10 am to 4 pm for Great Big Green Week and Churches Count on Nature week.  We will have sheets for adults and children to follow but would welcome any help on the day even if for an hour or come and have a go!  We have just been designated as a Local Wildlife site after a recent inspection as well and hope to further build on this base in the future.

  • High Wycombe Society talk on 14th May

    As the HVRA is an affiliate member of the High Wycombe Society, I am passing on this invitation to attend a talk about John Hampden at 7.30 on this coming Wednesday in The Trinity United Reform Church opposite Pann Mill.  It is a free event and could be very interesting indeed!

    Dear Members,


    A reminder of our Talk this week, to be held in Trinity United Reform Church  (opposite Pann Mill on the London Road) .

    Wednesday 14th May – 7:30pm

    This talk explores why John Hampden came to personify popular opposition to King Charles 1’s arbitrary taxes in the mid 17th century, his transition from hard working MP to brave Colonel in the Civil War and how his name resonated after his death in British & American history.

    Please forward to anyone you know who may be interested.
    It’s a FREE event and ALL are welcome!

    We look forward to seeing you!
