A small gathering took place at 11:00am this morning, led by Whittlesey Branch of The Royal British Legion for a service dedicated to our Armed Forces.
I attended as a member of the public.
Many thanks to Robert Windle and his team for organising this years BB 2022.
I am pleased to be able to support the day by being part of Roberts Team.
A wonderful day is planned for families, from 11:00am at the Whittlesey Manor Field.
Please allow time and take care as there will be quite a lot of people there.
Here is the Map of the layout.

One landmark which ‘Welcomes’ everyone into our town, is the Whittlesey Street Pride’ Gateway project at Kings Delph – up to 18,000 vehicles pass by every day.
In 2009 the ‘Pride of Whittlesey’ was launched on the site and was generously sponsored by DK Harris and has been ever since.

Saturday the country will celebrate ‘Armed Forces Day’ – Here in our town a service will be held at the War Memorial at 11:00am – I hope that the public will have respect for our past, present and future Armed Forces by at least stopping their busy lives and pay some respect when passing by….thank you.
There have been issues with some aspects of safety surrounding the building, as you maybe aware there are some safety railings on the Queen Street side.

‘The Committee’ met last night and Chair Lynn Palmer confirmed the date for this years event will be Saturday 10th Deember.
Fund raising as always is challenging but the team are well advanced in promoting some events. A Quiz to be held on Saturday 30th July (Teams of 6 – contact me and I’ll pass on your details).
A fantastic family event – all put on by volunteers.
Good turn out for those wishing to try out some Table Tennis – many gave it a go…..
The Ex Jo-Jo’s Café along High Causeway has been of some saftey concerns for a long time, the owner who has several other properties in Whittlesey has been very slow in addressing the issue.
I saw workmen ‘looking’ at the building today….lets hope it is the start of being renovated.
