The last long term libarian at Whittlesey retired last Friday, Maggie who has been in Whittlesey for many years is well known for her knowledge and help she has given.
The Friends of Whittlesey Library (in hibernation) which I am proud to have been one of the founding members gave a Farewell party today Sunday which was attended by many of Maggie’s colleagues.

Whittlesey’s Winter Cinema Evenings Return!!
We are pleased to announce that the fortnightly series of movie evenings return to Queen S.t Church from Saturday 1st October. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7 o/c start.
As usual there will be an intermission for refreshments.
Showing on that evening is “The Duke” – a true story starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren.
No actual admission charges are made BUT, with the spiralling rises to energy charges we ask please that you donate as generously as you can so that we are able to offset operating costs, i.e. heating / lighting / refs / video licence, etc.
Last winter numbers were generally down on previous years. We will monitor the situation to the year end and make a decision on whether continuation into 2023 is sustainable.
If you value this local amenity please tell all your friends about us! Regulars have said to us how much they enjoy these friendly, warm and welcoming evenings, including the intervals where they can to chat with friends over a drink and biscuits, so please come along in your numbers to enable us to continue throughout the winter months!
You are assured of a very warm welcome!
