In addition to the Annual Summer Reception, which is held each year in a lovely country house (for which Friends get advance booking) we also arrange other events to increase awareness of the unique treasures we have in Buckinghamshire.
Here is the event calendar proposed for 2010.

Our illustrated talk this year, “Literary Bucks”, will take place at 7:30pm in St. Mary’s Church in Haddenham. “Literary Bucks” is shorthand for a talk about buildings in Buckinghamshire associated with famous writers. It will be illustrated with slides, and interposed with readings from the works of some of the writers. The talk is by Roger Evans, former County Historic Buildings Officer and a Bucks Historic Churches Trustee, with slides from his collection. The readings are by Alfred Bradley, who has presented poetry readings at the National Portrait Gallery, Gainsborough's House in Suffolk, and Rydale Arts Festival in Yorkshire. They will delight the ear with extracts from Shakespeare, Milton and Cowper to Rupert Brooke and Betjeman, while the eye is treated to pictures of some beautiful and interesting Bucks buildings - including some churches! As a Friend you can attend the talk for only £3.00 or £7.00 if you are not already a Friend. Either way there will be a free glass of wine. Contact details: telephone 01844 291217 or via
