Choir 2000

Have you ever wondered what your neighbours get up to behind closed curtains? Well, if you hear tuneful scales or musical phrases drifting across the streets of Cottenham, your neighbour may be one of the many Cottenham residents practicing to sing with Choir 2000.
Founded (you guessed it) in 2000, Choir 2000 has over 100 singers drawn from local communities. The Choir sings classical repertoire, often involving professional soloists and full orchestra. Many of Choir 2000’s members sing to stay mentally and physically fit, as well as to have a lot of fun while giving something back to their local communities.
To find out more about Choir 2000 visit www.choir2000.org or hear the choir in action in December.
Choir 2000’s next concerts are on the 8th and 9th of December. The Choir will perform Dvorak’s Organ Mass and 3 Motets by Bruckner. The concert will also include Carols for All, which is your chance to come all ye faithful, and sing the first noel and bring some joy to the world.
The concerts take place at 7.30 pm on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th December at Histon Baptist Church, 2 Poplar Rd, Histon, CB24 9LN. Tickets (£10, or £5 for students) are available on the door on the night, or in advance from Les Ward on the High Street in Cottenham.
The concerts are conducted by Peter Britton, the organist is David Warham and the Choir is also joined by Histon Ten Sing (Friday) and Chesterton Singers (Saturday).  There will be a retiring collection in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

All Saints’ Cottenham: welcome to Revd Lynda Davies!

Lynda is joined in Cottenham by her h

Rotary Car Parking in Cambridge this Christmas The Rotary Good Causes car parking, at the University Downing Site, Department of Chemistry and Cambridge Assessment Centre will start on Sat 25 November for Christmas shoppers to use the three car parks. I am delighted to say that last year we raised over £40,000 for charities and Rotary good causes. The Rotary club of Cambridge South and lots of friends, will man the car parks for six weekends starting on 25-26 November until 31 Dec 2016, plus 27- 29 Dec.. There will be a small fee of just £7 for as long as needed within car park opening hours. The car parks are at Park Terrace (turn right at the University Arms hotel off Regent Street and it is on the left), Chemistry block on Lensfield Road and the Downing site on Tennis Court Road (the pedestrian exit from this car park is onto Downing Street nearly opposite John Lewis). This last one is open until 7pm so is also good for the Panto matinee. Please help us to raise a record am
