Hedsor Fair

Supporting St Nicholas Church at its annual fundraiser, Hedsor Fair.

The weather was on our side today; glorious warm sunshine and just what the weather should be like in June!

Henley Regatta 2012

Just 5 days after the Queen and Prince Philip were on-board the beautiful 'Alaska' 1883 Thames Steamer - Bass-ically Saxes climbed aboard with our sponsors space-pod for the best seats on the Thames to view the world famous Henley Regatta.



About Henley Regatta

Henley Regatta was first held in 1839 and has been held annually ever since, except during the two World Wars. Originally staged by the Mayor and people of Henley as a public attraction with a fair and other amusements, the emphasis rapidly changed so that competitive amateur rowing became its main purpose.

The 1839 Regatta took place on a single afternoon but proved so popular with oarsmen that the racing lasted for two days from 1840. In 1886 the Regatta was extended to three days and to four in 1906. Since 1928 its increased popularity meant entries exceeded the permitted numbers in several events, and so Qualifying Races are now held in the week before the Regatta to reduce the number of entries to the permitted maximum.

In 1986 the Regatta was extended to five days, with an increase in the maximum entry for certain events.

Thanks to space-pod for a wonderful day and also for all of your ongoing support for Bass-ically Saxes.

Here are a few pics from a lovely day:

Cherry Pie Fair

The Cherry pie Fair was held at the Seer Green Church of England Combined School.

Despite the diverse british weather during June, the rain held off and the sun shone at this event. It was very well attended and everyone who came enjoyed themselves.

Playing for the crowds at the Diamond Jubilee

What a fantastic time we had, playing for young and old at four separate events over the Diamond Jubilee weekend. 

There were even a few celebrities present - see if you can spot them on the pictures below (one of them is the real deal - we were thrilled that England cricket captain, Andrew Strauss could join us for a while).
