The Get-Along-Gang Motorcycle Club annual Christmas bash takes place weekend of the 12 November with a trip to Andover. They meet every Wednesday at the Green Dragon (Flaunden – see Flaunden) and most other nights you will find at least one of us at the bar – anytime of the year. Weather isn’t usually a problem.
The Old Codgers, better known as Dad’s Army or GAG, have been meeting here for about fifteen years – an overflow from the Cricketers (Sarratt) – where it all started with friends on old British bikes – but the Sarratt meet has now fragmented with the takeover of the Cricketers.(2003)

Bovingdon floods again 2016
After a night of heavy rain, Bovingdon was flooded this morning, with the lower high street taken the brunt of it. It even made the BBC local news.
And from 1946
Thanks to Don Crofts – report from Evening News back in June 1946
Families love the Herts of Britain
Hertfordshire is the best place to raise a family in the UK, while East and North Ayrshire are the worst, according to a survey.
Good pay and weather, top GCSE grades, fast broadband and access to GP surgeries helped put Hertfordshire at the top of an index of 138 local authorities based on 33 aspects important to family life.
Hertfordshire boasts the third highest employment rate in England with 81 per cent of residents aged 16 to 64 in work and an average annual salary of £33,435, while 64 per cent of pupils achieve five or more A* to C grades at GCSE.
East and North Ayrshire suffered the poorest ranking owing to higher crime, lower exam results and lower pay, according to the uSwitch Better Family Life Index.
The Rover Bus
Susan Jarman 316 bus from Hemel Hempstead to Chesham
Anna Knight Oh boy do I remember this one! The day we moved into Bovingdon from Chesham, I had to go to school as per normal, but catch the bus back to Hempstead Road. I didn’t get off the bus and went all the way to Hemel Bus station where my mum had phoned through to find out where I was. When I was eventually dropped off on the return journey, the driver let me keep my 3d.
