The Bucks Free Press is a weekly local newspaper, published every Friday and covering the area surrounding High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It was first published on 19 December 1856. Despite its title, it covers local news for the High Wycombe region only.
The paper covers local news, features, leisure and sport. The sport section features extensive coverage of Wycombe Wanderers football club and London Wasps rugby union club, who both play at Adams Park, High Wycombe.
Alongside the main Bucks Free Press paper, the Bucks Free Press group also publishes the free Wycombe Star every Thursday.
The fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett started his career as a journalist with the Bucks Free Press in 1965.
Famous quotes containing the words bucks, free and/or press:
“Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
Pounded on the table,
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
“A gentleman doesn’t pounce ... he glides. If a woman sits on a piece of furniture which permits your sitting beside her, you are free to regard this as an invitation, though not an unequivocal one.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
