All villagers welcome at Horningsea Annual Parish Meeting – Wednesday 25th May 19.00
The Annual Assembly of the Parish (usually called the Annual Parish Meeting) is organised by the Parish Council but is not a PC meeting – it is for all registered electors of the area. It must be held each year between 1st March and 1st June and is an opportunity to hear reports on local groups and activities such as the Residents’ Association, the Trusts, charities, school and police as well as financial and progress reports of the Council. Our District and County Councillors usually attend and it is an opportunity to ask them questions and raise issues of importance to the village.
So come along to the village hall on 25th May at 19:00
If you belong to a village group and you have not previously given a report do contact the clerk of Horningsea Parish Council
The Annual Parish Meeting will be followed by a normal Horningsea Parish Council meeting at 19:45.
After a long two years it seems like we will finally be able to enjoy this summer and what better way to do this than with a four day Jubilee weekend. Horningsea Residents Association along with the Church are organising events from Thursday 2nd June right through to Sunday 5th to celebrate a unique milestone in our history, Her Majesty The Queen’s 70th year as our Monarch. Look out for more details on posters around the village and on the Horningsea Residents Facebook page. Please get involved and help at the various events. Contact nicolagibbs@yahoo.com. You can read more about the Jubilee weekend in the Herald and on the village website:
IT’S CRAP by the Save Honey Hill Community Choir
The Save Honey Hill Community Choir from Horningsea, Fen Ditton and other villages released IT’S CRAP. A comedy protest song against the unnecessary relocation of Cambridge’s sewage works to Honey Hill, just outside Horningsea. The song is written by Horningsea resident Liz Cotton and was recorded in the village church. The video is on YouTube, but also Facebook and Twitter
Enjoy the Horningsea Summer!
