On a recent visit to Bury, Lancs, I was impressed by an outdoor gym in the local park. Thinking this would be a great idea for Hillingdon, discovered LBH is well ahead of me. We may not (yet?) have one in Ickenham, but here’s a list of outdoor gyms in the borough.

Martyn Durrant’s morning walk
Thank you, Martyn, for lifting our spirits over on Ickenham… It’s just the best village

A couple of new ‘useful links’
While trying to find a decent pic of Ickenham Village Hall for our Twitter account and the header of this site, I found myself in contact with the Swakeleys Home Guard (1944) Association. Its members meet at the back of the Village Hall. I’ve added them to the Useful Links page, along with a lively Facebook group we mentioned recently called ‘Ickenham… it’s just the best village’.
Gala Day: come and say “hello”
This Saturday (18th) is Gala Day in the Vyners School grounds, from 1pm to 5pm. It’s always a lot of fun with interesting stands, demonstrations and funfair attractions. It also gives you a great chance to mingle with your fellow villagers (and, no doubt, outsiders too).
If you get a moment, why not drop by the Ickenham Residents’ Association stand? We’d be delighted to meet you, answer your questions and hear your views on what we should and shouldn’t be doing.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Useful contacts updated
Thanks to eagle-eyed Pete Daymond, we are ashamed to admit that the 1st Ickenham Scout Group was missing from the Useful Links page. Apologies. We’ve made good the omission and resequenced the list. If anyone has a working link for the Wayfarers, we’d love to hear from you. Thank you.
