  • Winter Pub of the Year Monday 29 December 2025

    We are pleased to announce the winner of our Winter Pub of the Year. It is the Clifden Arms in Worminghall.

    It was nominated by local member, Paul Kilpin. He says of the pub: "three well-kept real ales and a log fire in each bar to sit by, the perfect location for winter drinking." We'll drink to that.

    Congratulations to the pub and a presentation will be arranged for early in the New Year.

  • 130/300 Bus Changes Monday 3 November 2025

    As a result of HS2 the existing A4010 between Terrick and Stoke Mandeville will be severed. This means changes to the route for the 130 and 300 buses.

    From the new roundabout on Lower Road, the 130 will now run along the South East Aylesbury Link Road and the Stoke Mandeville Relief Road. The 300 will continue on Lower Road and then run on Station Road past Stoke Mandeville Station onto Wendover Road and the Wendover bypass and then Nash Lee Road past the Chiltern Brewery.

    The online 130/300 bus pub guide has been updated to reflect these changes.
