Put the date in your diaries, calendars, i-Phones, write it on your hand, but don't miss out on what has become a firmly established event in the town's summer season.  It's June, so that can mean only one thing - it's the Congleton Round Table and Ladies' Circle Summer Beer Festival.  The date you need to remember is Saturday 25th June and the venue is the big marquee on Hankinson's Field beside the leisure centre.  Tickets will be going onsale from the 1st of June from the Tourist Information Centre at the Town Hall and usual outlets.

"We've kept our increased capacity again this year which is a sure sign that the people of Congleton really enjoy this annual day out.  No-one should be disappointed at not getting in but don't leave it too late to get your tickets, the popularity speaks for itself".

The gratitude of every home in Congleton, in Cheshire, and indeed throughout the  this Sceptred Isle, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to those plucky  chaps who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal  danger, are turning the tide of the Congleton Carnival by their prowess and by  their devotion. Never in the Hankinson's field of generally titting around was  so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the barrow pilots, whose  brilliant actions and ground level displays we see with our own eyes day after  day (but mostly on Saturday 10th July); but we must never forget that all the  time, night after night, month after month, our barrow bomber squadrons travel  far to National Sporting Weekend in Lancaster (3rd September), find the toilets  in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aim their attacks, often  under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss of dignity, with deliberate  careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon squadrons from Round  Table Areas other than 22. On no part of the Round Table Air Force does the  weight of the war fall more heavily than on the daylight bombers, who will play  an invaluable part in the case of invasion and whose unflinching zeal it has  been necessary in the meanwhile on numerous occasions to restrain.

1^st Buglawton Scout Group is writing to say a big thank you for your very kind donation.  We are truly grateful for your very kind donation of £500. 

This money will be put to a good cause to purchase new camping equipment. We especially require new gas stoves, which we be used on the 6er camp in June and the Cheshire Jamboree camp in July and August 2010.

Beartown ABC had an open day at their gym in Buglawton. We gave them some money towards equipment so that they could improve the quality of the training and increase their appeal to local kids interested in burning off a bit of energy down in the boxing ring. Here are a few photos taken at the open day including the obvious cheque presentation photo (we tried to get a little kid lay a few punches on James but they didn't seem keen!).

Congleton Round Table continue to support the work of Visyon, a local charity that offers emotional support and counselling to youngsters. The Bon-o-phool helped to support Visyon with a lunchtime curry. Dan went along to present a cheque from table.
