Glatton on Radio Cambridgeshire

Posted on 12th May 2019 by Glatton Parish

Glatton featured on John Devine’s Radio Cambridgeshire broadcast  this morning – 12th May 2019, at 08.30. – entitled ‘Devine County‘.  If you missed it, you can listen via the BBC iPlayer where you can hear Terry Brignall and me waxing lyrical!!

Terry will be giving a further talk on ‘Allways’ on Thursday, 16th May, 2019 to the Sawtry ‘History Society’ commencing at 1930 hours in the W.I. Hall, Gidding Road, Sawtry. (There is a small charge for visitors).  Should be a very interesting talk, if today’s taster is anything to go by.

Race Night 2019

Posted on 20th April 2019 by Glatton Parish

Village Hall Race Night – 13th April 2019
A great night as always, enjoyed by some 65 merry makers! Photos show Paul Williams (slightly under awed) receiving “The Glatton Cup” on behalf of a syndicate from “The Williams Stable”. Paul was handed the cup by last years winner Steve Smith. Carole Green is the custodian of this prestigious trophy until it’s competed for again next year. Thanks to all who supported this event which raised money to fund essential work on our Village Hall.

Race Night 2019 Profit (Update)
A massive thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Race Night. We made a profit of £938.07 which is much needed and will help fund essential maintenance of the Village Hall to ensure its continued use by a variety of clubs, groups, the church and WI and individuals. Thank you all once again from your Village Hall Committee.

Rabble on Saddles

Sometime back in October the gauntlet was laid down and the challenge accepted and a group of middle aged folk (and one youngster) dusted down their bikes and probably in hindsight in a moment of madness decided to cycle 220 miles from the highest pub to the lowest pub in Britain, the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire to the Admiral Wells in Holme (and “no” it isn’t downhill all the way). The challenge will take place over 3 days 3rd-5th May finally arriving back at the Addison to hopefully a fanfare.

Training is in full flow and we are to be seen out on our bikes in the surrounding countryside and obviously there is need to refuel with a well-deserved coffee and cake stop.

For all our efforts we would like to raise some pennies for charity and the charities we have chosen are McMillan Nurses and Alzheimers Research. If you would like to support us and honestly we need all the help we can get please visit our charity page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/RabbleOnaSaddle2019
