Oxfam volunteers
Aliki Cooper was recently recognised for her long service volunteering in the Oxfam shop in Olney. Aliki and the other volunteers: Pat Dunn, June Davies, Thelma Shacklady, Mike Wesson, Aliki Cooper, June Tite, Bill Kelly, and Jo Haworth have been volunteering with the shop since 2005 and all have been recently presented with five year long service certificates and brooches.
It is thanks to volunteers like these that we have had the shop's most successful year, when we have nearly doubled our net profits and
increased sales
over last year by 21%.
We are very proud to have them in our shop.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
Ravenstone Village Fete
Sunday 5th June
in the gardens of Ravenstone House
Starting at 2pm in the wonderful gardens at Ravenstone House, our Fete promises to be entertaining for the whole family. To the music of Milton Keynes Brass there will be plants, cakes, books, CDs, DVDs, home produce and bric-a-brac to browse and bargain for. Other attractions will include a bottle stall, tombola, silent auction, lamb lotto and raffle with great prizes.
There will, of course, be plenty of activities and games for children as well with special features.
Why not tuck into delicious home made confectionery, ice-creams or hot- dogs which can be washed down with a refreshing cup of tea or a fruit cup?
Don’t miss this date and don’t miss these spectacular gardens!
DON’T MISS IT! Last year we wrote about local robot man Neil Billingham filming with Richard Hammond for the BBC2 programme Engineering Connections. Well finally the time has come and the show should be aired on the 12th April. The robot is pretty much likely to make the cut, but Neil? Who knows. If you are lucky you might see his left ear!!
