I love to receive feedback from different organisations saying how thrilled they are with the response from Hiya Bucks readers. I’ve been a volunteer for various things over the years and have enjoyed meeting new people and having a laugh. When my son was 7 he joined the colts section of Wooburn Narkovians Cricket Club. I used to tag along on a Sunday morning to meet other parents, soak up the sunshine, enjoy the view of Wooburn Park and watch my son and his new team mates learn how to play cricket. But something was missing; a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich! Consequently, without actually planning it, I somehow managed to set up the Sunday morning café serving, you guessed it, cups of tea and bacon sandwiches. As you can imagine, they went down a real storm and I worked every Sunday morning during the colts cricket season for 10 years! Of course I had lots of helpers, I couldn’t do it alone, and I’m pleased to say the café is still up and running. In this edition of Hiya Bucks you’ll find an article about a book that has just been written by Karen Savage; Up Narkover (page 17). This book celebrates 80 years of Wooburn Narkovians Cricket Club and, if you look closely, you’ll see a photo of me being rewarded for my dedication to said bacon sandwiches. If that doesn’t make you buy the book well …. What can I say? Joking aside, the book has been a five year labour of love for Karen and it’s a great read for anyone local, anyone interested in local history or, in fact, anyone interested in cricket. And, finally, a quick message to all my lovely volunteer knitters – your handmade hats and jumpers boarded a plane bound for Zambia on 17th July, photos to appear in next month’s edition. Thank you, the children will be thrilled. Stay safe everyone.
