Choir 2000

Have you ever wondered what your neighbours get up to behind closed curtains? Well, if you hear tuneful scales or musical phrases drifting across the streets of Cottenham, your neighbour may be one of the many Cottenham residents practicing to sing with Choir 2000.
Founded (you guessed it) in 2000, Choir 2000 has over 100 singers drawn from local communities. The Choir sings classical repertoire, often involving professional soloists and full orchestra. Many of Choir 2000’s members sing to stay mentally and physically fit, as well as to have a lot of fun while giving something back to their local communities.
To find out more about Choir 2000 visit www.choir2000.org or hear the choir in action in December.
Choir 2000’s next concerts are on the 8th and 9th of December. The Choir will perform Dvorak’s Organ Mass and 3 Motets by Bruckner. The concert will also include Carols for All, which is your chance to come all ye faithful, and sing the first noel and bring some joy to the world.
The concerts take place at 7.30 pm on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th December at Histon Baptist Church, 2 Poplar Rd, Histon, CB24 9LN. Tickets (£10, or £5 for students) are available on the door on the night, or in advance from Les Ward on the High Street in Cottenham.
The concerts are conducted by Peter Britton, the organist is David Warham and the Choir is also joined by Histon Ten Sing (Friday) and Chesterton Singers (Saturday).  There will be a retiring collection in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

All Saints’ Cottenham: welcome to Revd Lynda Davies!

The evening of October 16 th saw the licensing service for Revd Lynda Davies, the new rector of All Saints’ Cottenham and All Saints’ Rampton.    It was a lovely and memorable occasion with a full church and some rousing hymns.  The organist said delightedly, “That was the best congregational singing I’ve ever played for: I got to pull out all the stops.”   The Rt Rev David Thomson, Bishop of Huntingdon, led the service with his characteristic blend of  grace and gentle good humour, and Iain Campbell from her former parish commended her to us warmly.   Members of the Cottenham and Rampton community welcomed Lynda, asked her to make sure the church tower doesn’t fall down like it did 400 years ago, and invited her to do crafts with the Brownies.  The service was followed by a fantastic spread of refreshments from the All Saints’ Cottenham team (pictured below).   We are all very much looking forward to Lynda’s ministry with us. ...

Recycling - paper to go straight in blue wheelie bins

South Cambridgeshire District Council is changing the way used paper is collected from residents for recycling. From 11 December, residents won’t need to use their caddies to recycle paper anymore. From that date, residents should place their used paper directly into their blue wheelie bins instead. This used paper will still be recycled after being sorted from other materials at our facility near Waterbeach. Residents can keep their caddy to use for anything they like. Alternatively, they can be recycled by being dropped off at the nearest household waste recycling centre. They should not be placed into wheelie bins. The decision to withdraw the paper caddy service was taken at South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Cabinet meeting in September. The decision will save taxpayers money and simplify the recycling process for residents. Because of this upcoming change, the District Council will not be delivering any new paper caddies. If they are lost or stolen befor...
