Carol and Terry Noble of the Buntingford Civic Society Executive Committee led two Town Heritage walks on the 14th and 15th June in recognition of Civic Voice Day on the 14th June 2025. The walks detailed much of the history of our town, including the many coaching inns, churches, our very rare chalk stream, the River Rib, and featured some of the notable figures from our past. Bishop Seth Ward, the Reverend Alexander Strange and Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson plus Dr John Addenbrooke.

Mention was made that our War memorial was designed by Claude Lovat Fraser, whose family lived in the town, and that many of the new housing estate roads are named after those that lost their lives in various 20th Century conflicts, and some history of an early Buntingford School, our Technical Institute and of the Town Workhouse. It is proposed that further walks will be arranged later in the year either in July or August. Details will be published in the August/September issue and our website and Facebook page.

Taking place at the end of June, is the "Buntingford in Bloom Competition-2025". Judging will take place over the weekend on the 28th/29th June, and the winners of the various categories will be announced via our website and social media and in the August/September issue of the Journal.

July will also be a busy month with BCS members involvement in the Town Councils Family Fun Day on 12th July, at the Seth Ward C.C, a must if previous years are anything to go by. Live Bands, FREE Children's Fun Fair, Licensed Bar, Food Outlets, Dog Show and a Spectacular Finale.

Well, that's all from me for now until the August/September Journal, so to all our members and Journal Readers, the BCS Executive Committee hope you have an amazing early Summer.
