Photos David Lamming Forty-four people attended this year’s annual Cheese & Wine party at Groton Village Hall on Saturday 7 December. ‘Cheese & Wine’ is perhaps a misnomer, as patrons were faced with a veritable spread of delectable tasties to suit every palate. The £1 ‘secret present’ dip provided amusement, and auctioneer Bryn Hurren cajoled bids for items ranging from a brace of pheasants to a decorative reindeer. This, and the raffle, helped boost the net proceeds of the event (to go to St Bartholomew’s Church) to around £850. Thanks to all who came, and especial thanks to those who provided the food and helped in many other ways to make this another unmissable event in Groton’s calendar.

WYCOMBE ARTS FESTIVAL GIG ! Once again Marlow Jazz Club have the honour of being asked to stage the jazz gig in the 2018 Wycombe Arts Festival, here at the Royal British Legion Hall: previous years (Gary Potter, Peter King / Simon Spillett) have been a big success with full houses.
