You’ve probably seen the hand drawn village map hung up in the bus stop and a few other locations. This map was made by Jane Adams and Peter Conroy quite a few years ago. Sadly Jane died earlier this year and Peter (the postie) died at the end of February. In their memory the map is in this month’s Herald. It’s well worth printing out to hang on the fridge door. Especially for those occasions when some lost delivery driver knocks on your door looking for a house in the village.
The work on the church is now also complete and there’s a few photos inside. It’s the Grand Opening this month too!
Enjoy Spring.
Friday, 15th April 19:00. Village Hall.
On Friday the 15th of April the HRA are having one of their ever popular bingo/fish and chips evenings.
Fish and Chips will be ordered and paid for on entry at the door so make sure you arrive in time to do this before eyes down! Please come at 19:00 to place your order for fish and chips. Eyes down will be at 19:45 with the fish and chips arriving at 21:00.
Here’s the
Herald for March 2016..
With the opening of the refurbished Crown and Punchbowl, it is heartening to see that Horningsea is once again a two pub village. With so many villages having their only pub closed, it is a cause for celebration, and with two pubs it’s easy to do so (Horningsea Pub Crawl?)! Our village must keep using both of these fine drinking and eating establishments. Use your local pub or lose it…..!
On a less positive note, once again the introduction of faster broadband to Horningsea has been postponed to June 2016. The full details are included in the Herald, but the representatives of Connecting Cambridgeshire and BT OpenReach will be at the next Parish Council meeting. Hopefully they will be able to explain why every other village around here has a decent internet connection, but Horningsea does not.
