Guides Hello our names are
Ellie and Evie and
we come from 1st Bugbrooke Guides. We are going to tell you about an
International Camp that we went to this summer called Bounce in the
grounds of Boughton House near Kettering. On Saturday 2nd August, with the help of our parents, we pitched camp and
got settled in with our new friends from Newnham Guides . The next day
we got up and made our bedding rolls before breakfast. We then went to
the Bounce’s very own Olympic Games where our sub-camp came 4th out of
four teams! That
night we discovered a tepee tent and made a lot
of crazy friends from Carlisle. We met up with them every night when we
had our free time. On Monday we finally had a shower, even though they were freezing cold we
still enjoyed them! Later on that day we did “Go Glam” it was great,
and we could do a lot of things like make up, face masks, nails, hair
braids and yoga. Then we did “Go” which was African dancing and a
trip round the World. Later that evening we did a quiz and didn’t do
very well! Tuesday was the best day because we went to Wickstead Park. We went on
the drop tower 15 times in a row, then it broke! We also went on most of
the rides in the park. Wednesday we did the fete and went to all the
different countries in our sub-camp to do different activities. Thursday we did “Go Green” and “Go Do It”. The next day we did
“Go Make It” and “Go Splash” where we did bellboating.
Friday was very emotional because we were all going home and were
going to miss our new friends from Carlisle, so at the disco we all
cried. Saturday we all striked camp and had our own little closing ceremony. We
all got post cards saying how we would be remembered from this camp. We
also got a packet of hair bobbles and clips and a pot of nail varnish.
We gave hugs to everyone and told them we would be visiting Newnham to
keep in touch with our new friends. Thanks
for reading, Ellie and Evie Hi,
my name is Talitha and I am from 1st Bugbrooke Guides. In the summer holidays myself and 4 other guides went to
Switzerland with Flore Brownies for 10 days. It was a lifetime
experience, if I could go again I would. We travelled to Switzerland by
coach which took us 22 hours. We did a range of activities throughout the trip. We walked up some
steep hills to get to a nearby waterfall, we went swimming in an
unheated open air public pool, we went to a Swiss cheese farm, we went
tobogganing (without snow), we went to the Scouts International Centre,
we went to Our Chalet (the Guides International Centre), we went to
Trumble Back falls, we went scootering and even went on a chair lift.
It went really quickly. The one thing I will not miss are the cow
bells, you could hear them all night. The things I’ve listed are only a few of the things we did.
If I included everything you would need a book with a million pages.
Bugbrooke Strollers During October and November the Strollers will be
visiting Upper Heyford / Flore, Everdon, Stanfords Farm, Harlestone
Firs, Tiffield, Pattishall, Upper Stowe / Church Stowe, Eastcote /

Wednesday Club Hello
everyone, how time flies. Today is September 1st. We have had our summer
break and look forward to meeting again on the 10th. On July 12th, at the church fete, Lynne
with helpers ran a ‘nearly new’ stall, which made £49.74. Thank you
to all who gave the clothing, etc. On July 13th, 20th and 27th, Lynne with
family and helpers put on farm-house teas in the Sunday School. A feast
of home made and tasty delights were served and £622 was received. Many
thanks to all who took part in this event. On August 30th, we had a real summer’s
day outing to Rutland Water. Everything went to plan and was enjoyed by
us all. The boat trip to Normanton church on such a lovely day was a
real treat. We now look forward to our next outing, November 19th, a
Christmas Music Hall at the Derngate, details to follow. New members
welcome. Mrs D M French Mothers’
Union On July 10th, members were invited to an afternoon tea in Lindsay’s
garden. 16 members attended and enjoyed a sunlit afternoon with a
delicious tea. Joyce devised several quizzes – a great social meeting. On July 17th, 14 members enjoyed an
evening meal in The Sun, Nether Heyford. This became a most entertaining
evening. No meetings in August. On September 4th at 2.30pm in the Sunday
School, the Revd. Stephen French will take the service to start our
autumn/winter meetings. New members are always welcome. Our advent carol service will be on
Thursday, December 4th at 7.30pm in the Sunday School, taken by Revd.
Stephen French. A social evening will follow with mince pies and tea.
This is an open evening, all are welcome. Pat Archer Women’s
Institute Having enjoyed a summer break, we commence our autumn/winter programme by
welcoming members back with a supper followed by our AGM. The village diary provides details of
our monthly meetings to the end of November. We look forward to greeting
visitors to any of these meetings. County Federation events in which we
will be involved include the annual council meeting at Northampton High
School for Girls, Hardingstone, in October when hundreds of members from
all around the county gather to receive the Federation’s annual
report. The guest speaker this year will be
Christine Hamilton, who no doubt will regale us with anecdotes of how
she and husband Neil (ex-MP) came through their difficulties and what it
is like to appear in programmes like ‘I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out
of Here’. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the
Northamptonshire Federation, a concert will be held on December 5th at
St Matthew’s Church in Northampton with performances by Daventry
Brass, W. I. County Choir and others. It looks to be a wonderful night
of celebration. Bugbrooke
