Rotary Car Parking in Cambridge this Christmas

The Rotary Good Causes car parking, at the University Downing Site, Department of Chemistry and Cambridge Assessment Centre will start on Sat 25 November for Christmas shoppers to use the three car parks. I am delighted to say that last year we raised over £40,000 for charities and Rotary good causes.

The Rotary club of Cambridge South and lots of friends, will man the car parks for six weekends starting on 25-26 November until 31 Dec 2016, plus 27- 29 Dec.. There will be a small fee of just £7 for as long as needed within car park opening hours.The car parks are at Park Terrace (turn right at the University Arms hotel off Regent Street and it is on the left), Chemistry block on Lensfield Road and the Downing site on Tennis Court Road (the pedestrian exit from this car park is onto Downing Street nearly opposite John Lewis). This last one is open until 7pm so is also good for the Panto matinee. Please help us to raise a record amount by looking out for the Rotary car park signs (being printed by Screens and Graphics in Cottenham) bearing the “Rotary Wheel”.

This may also benefit Cambridge traders by providing them with more, less-rushed shoppers with more money to spend! More information, including a map, may be available at http://www.cambridge-southrotary.org.uk

More volunteers are needed to help for slots of 2.5 hours (over 250 slots in all over 3 car parks over 15 days) - if you would like to help (with one or more slots) the car parking (full guidance given) please contact me at smithmichaelstanley@hotmail.com

Please also see the website if you would like to know more about Rotary - whose motto is “Service above Self”. An International project is the elimination of Polio world -wide. Our club meets on Mondays (except bank holidays) at 5.45 for 6.15 at Westminster College with some great speakers. New members are very welcome.

As well as fundraising for other charities, we run, among many other things, a monthly memory café, an annual football tournament for the homeless, Peace events for 6th formers at 6-7 schools and support a school for Maasai children in Tanzania.

We wish you all a happy, relaxed and an especially Peaceful Christmas.

Mike Smith, Rotary Club of Cambridge South

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...
