Being a ‘Coates’ boy – I had the priveldge to have lived opposite Vi from 1953 to 1962, she was a ‘lovely lady’. As a ‘very’ young boy she looked after me when my mother had to be elsewhere. Some 66 years later we would often ‘bump’ into one another in Whittlesey, and she always greeted me and everyone with a warm smile and asked how you were.
Violet Ellington you will be sadly missed by many – RIP

Today Myself and Cllr Eamonn Dorling attended The Peterborough Parish Conference, hosted by Peterborough City Council for the 40 Parishes around Peterborough and we were invited to join in.
The theme was ‘Planning for the Future’
I arrived nice and early, despite taking me 10 minutes to get out of Ramsey Road/Church Street – I managed to meet Leader of PCC Cllr John Hodich who let me ‘bend his ear’ on the state we are living with on the A605 at present and of course The Kings Dyke Crossing, although very sympathetic – Peterborough has enough of it’s own issues & problems….

Fantastic venue at The Future Business Centre – |London Road | Posh Ground |

On Saturday evening Connie and I were privileged to be part of a fantastic organised fund raising event in memory of Hannah Overton, who passed away last December. Nearly 400 attended the ‘Black Tie’ Opal Charity Ball held at Springfields Conference Centre Spalding. The event was organised by her close friend Sarah Leuty and husband Calvin.

Whittlesey Lion’s – sponsored 4 tables.

It is hoped this event will raise in the region of £10,000 in support of: – Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, Bloodwise & Leicester Hospitals Charities Haematology Ward.

Dinner, Silent Auction, Live Auction and Music were very much enjoyed by all.

Hannah was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in July of 2018. She lost the brave battle aged just 28. She was a prolific ‘Bowler’ and had been interim assistant head teacher at St Botoloph’s Church of England Primary School. Hannah was born and schooled in Whittlesey and attended Lincoln University.

Other fundraising by friends, colleagues and fellow bowlers for these 3 charities and also Cancer Research in memory of Hannah has already exceeded £20,000.
