We also aim to provide social activities. These include an evening talks programme, outings to Trust places and other destinations, coffee mornings and more.
The 220 or so members live in Aylesbury, across the Aylesbury Vale and beyond.
We take a keen interest in smaller properties, including The King's Head. We particularly support Claydon House at Middle Claydon, near Buckingham and Ashridge Estate.
Some members are room stewards at Claydon. Associated with this, we produced a booklet on Florence Nightingale - aimed at children but also of interest to adults.
We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2014 with a social evening at Claydon House. Our President, John Bly, takes an active interest in the Centre.
Meetings take place in Broughton Junior School, Broughton Avenue, Aylesbury HP20 1NQ starting at 8pm. Doors open at 7:30pm which gives time to browse books and any produce, meet friends, and buy raffle tickets!
