Buck Pub 2025 is organised by Nigel Kippax with the generous support of Dayla and many volunteers. You can contact Nigel on 07768 723043 or email nigel@kippax.org.uk  

Charitable donations

We always aim to make donations to local charities from the proceeds of the weekend and have been delighted to have raised around £100,000 for good causes over the years.  

For 2025 funds raised will be split between Youth Concern Aylesbury and All Saints Church Buckland

Payments

As far as possible, Buck Pub is a card-only payment weekend. Having said this, we are expecting some to pay cash for the BBQ on Sunday in the garden.  That's fine - we will take your money!!

Governance

To ensure that all if fair and transparent, Clive Brazier will provide 'independent financial oversight'.  He'll check income and expenditure and verify the numbers. Thanks Clive.

Thank you
