| Social Events of 2006 | ||||||||||
| We have a full program of social events | Our social committee organise and arrange a full and varied program of activities for the members to
participate in.
Whilst not every activity will appeal to every member, we hope that there will be at least one or two things that will be of interest to each member, during the month. We also actively encourage our partners and families to join us in many of the activities. To see the full diary for the club including social and community activities click here |

| Our Christmas celebration | ||||||||||
| Our happy Chairman
|
With a tiny budget of £20 per head we had a most interesting and happy evening at the Comfort Inn in Deanshanger.
The meal left some thing to be desired but the staff tried really hard to please. The room was ours and we had some great music to dance to chosen for us by our very own DJ Barnett. Presents we dispensed by Father Christmas Neil and we all had to sit on his lap as can be seen opposite.

| Think Pink lunch in October | ||||||||||
| Everyone wore pink!
|
Not only did we wear pink, but we ate all pink food too. We raised over £60 for breast cancer awareness month. Please note the picture in the centre. It was all too much (pink) for our chairman Neil...

| Wintery Walk beside College Lake | ||||||||||
 The children LOVED the mud and the puddles
|
It was a true wintry day with lots of rain, blustery winds. A few of us decided to brave the elements and after a lovely pub lunch we walked along the paths beside College Lake. It was too much to expect the kids to stay out of the puddles and stay clean and dry! We all enjoyed it and will do it again, maybe in the spring or summer next time. |

| Duck Decoy at Borstall | ||||||||||
| Day out in Borstall
|
We went to the Boarstall Duck Decoy near Aylesbury on Sunday August the 27th 2006. The Douses and the Barnetts were out in force, along with The Richardsons, Alison and her two boys and Karen with her daughter and -sister-in-law, and her daughter.
We had a picnic lunch and went for a walk around the nature trail with the boys picking up all sorts of ‘treasures’. We ended up with loads of acorns, nuts, feathers, sticks and a pear or two. We persuaded the children to leave the toadstools, however could not stop certain members of the group (Phil and Chris, mainly!) eating the copious amounts of blackberries we saw. At 3pm we were treated to a display from Holly the dog demonstrating how the decoy is supposed to work. The lack of water and an non co-operative dog made it a bit of a farce, but we got the idea. Thirst then drove us to the Pheasant pub in Brill for a swift drink then some of us went to ‘explore’ the windmill, before leaving, after what was a very enjoyable afternoon.

| Andrew and Elizabeth Sheldon's Wedding | ||||||||||
| Fenny Stratford Register Office then
Woburn Safari Park
|
It was a lovely day. Hot and although it rained, it only rained when it did not matter. The ceremony took place in front of their close family, 30 people in all, at Fenny Stratford Register office. Those guests were then treated to lunch at Galloways. It was a fabulous lunch, excellent company and service.
Then at 18:30 a reception party was held at Woburn Safari Lodge in the Safari Park for 100 guests.
Elizabeth and Andrew treated their guests to an hour of fun on Swan Lake in the swan boats. Many Naval battles were re-enacted on that lake. The venue was superb as was the food, cooked on a BBQ on the veranda. A Caricaturist was present throughout the evening and was a huge hit with the guests, as was the band "Jazz Platoon" from Bedford. |

Andrew and Elizabeth just married.
Guests were invited to come in costume the theme was "Glamorous Out of Africa". Needless to say "The Brickhills" rose to the
challenge.
