Horningsea Herald July 2018

Posted on July 2, 2018 by Chris Lindley

Here’s July’s Horningsea Herald.

Well the summer has really turned out nice! The editorial team told you it would be sunny!

Here’s July’s events. Starting with Village Day on the 7th, and the Horticultural Show on the 14th. Both highlights on the Horningsea social calendar.

There’s two extraordinary Horningsea Parish Council meetings coming up about the Waterbeach New Town development. On the 4th July RLW will present their planning application and on the 1st August Urban & Civic will present modifications they have made to their planning application.

Please do attend. These developments have the potential to significantly change our area, both short term with construction (20+years) traffic and longterm traffic from the 11,000 houses.

Programmes/passports for the Gardens will be on sale at the Village Green, (£5 per person), this will include a map of the gardens that are open and a short description of each garden. They vary from old fashioned Cottage gardens, vegetable gardens and allotments, through to more formal gardens. You will recognise the open gardens as they will be marked by a bunch of colourful balloons! Refreshments will be available all afternoon in the Church. There will be music in some of the gardens during the afternoon. The event will conclude with madrigals on the riverbank (see attached flyer), at Church End House, just below the Church at 18.15. Bring a picnic, chairs or a rug. Pimms will be provided. There will be a collection. If it is raining the madrigals and picnic will take place in the church.

Other attractions include a bouncy slide for the younger villagers and there will also be a Dog show.

Towards the end of the afternoon we will be lighting the Barbecue for you to cook your own food.

  • 15:00 Village Day Opening – Village Teas, Bouncy Slide, Dog Show, Picnic, Ale
  • All Steel band – 1st set
  • 17:30 Barbecue Lighting

    Horningsea Herald June 2018

    Posted on June 6, 2018 by Chris Lindley

    Here’s June’s Herald.

    The village’s social calendar starts getting busy this month. There’s a lot of events approaching, and even more in the month afterwards.

    Use this calendar to keep updated on Horningsea village events or add to your own calendar.

    You can keep updated on Waterbeach New Town (no longer called Waterbeach Barracks development due to its size) on the village website.

    How to submit news to the Herald

    The only guideline for news is for events and articles that are of direct relevance to the inhabitants of Horningsea. The Herald does not accept advertising, but one off “news items” may be used to publicise your “service”. To submit news items either email “horningseanews@gmail.com” or submit them via Twitter.

    You must submit by the 25th of the month, the Herald being published before the first weekend of the month. Submission of any news items implies consent to any editing and the editorial team’s decision is always final. Plain text sent via email is greatly preferred.
