Celebration Day at Hyde Lane Lock

The restoration of Hyde Lane Lock was made possible by a grant from WREN, (Waste Recycling Environmental Ltd.) on condition that the BCS raised 10% of the money required. Here I would like to thank all those who helped us raise this extra money. So thanks goes to Milton Keynes and Northampton IWA's, Buckingham Town Council, Nikon Optical, Abbey, Milton Keynes, HBOS Bank, Aylesbury and Waitrose, Buckingham. Thanks also goes to our volunteers who have helped with the bric-a-brac stall and with the community raffles helping us get those much-needed funds.

I would also like to thank Pauley Construction who did a grand job in restoring the lock, as it is not an easy site to work on with material and equipment having to be brought across several fields and over a ditch. Thanks again also goes to the two landowners who made this possible, They are the Pullin family and the Maids Moreton Trust and we would like to thank BBOWT for letting us work on their land and helping with advice and equipment.
