The build up to this years event to be held on Saturday 09th December from 15:30 to 19:00 takes months of preparation.

A small group of ‘volunteers’ organise and apply for funding in order to put this family event on. Last night 8 members and 2 guests attended the meeting.

In Fenland there are 134 Taxi vehicles licensed – by 19 operators.

The people responsible for the latest spat of vandalism don’t realise what will happen if this carries on.
Since the ‘New’ Picnic Benches were replaced in August 2021 – there have been 10 incidents of them being vandalised – including the complete destroying of one by setting it on fire.
In the past week (oh no – its not school holidays – not allowed to say such things)
3 incidents have occured.
The fire damaged bench was replaced with a metal one, by Ex Landlord Mr Bruce Road, who raised the money to sponsor the bench.

The repairs to date have been carried out by The Street Pride Team – they have run out of parts and getting somewhat fed up.
The two benches  damaged this week have been made safe – however no parts – no more allocated funding and at some stage consideration will have to be made to start removing them all together.

If you know the name(s) of those who are responsible – why not name and shame them for the sake of those who would like to enjoy the Manor Field Picnic Benches.

One of the damaged benches – with one seat now removed because of vandalism.

A busy Agenda with some excellent news on activities being lead by the Groups members.
There is at present a consultancy exercise being carried out of all of Fenlands Leisure facilities, this will be used as a base for further input from local stakeholders.

There will be open Cricket sessions between 18:00 and 19:00 every Friday.

Fishing taster sessions will begin this coming Monday for young people wanting to try this activity out, it is very professionally run and is on the Manor side of the Bower.

A date for your diary – The Park Run will be celebrating their 200th run on 28th October.
