The Cottenham Yesteryear Road Run 2018

We are starting to get our plan together for next years Road Run. For those who have not heard of it before, we gather approximately 300 vintage and classic vehicles on Cottenham Green and then travel through the neighbouring villages collecting funds for the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.
Last year's Road Run

The 2018 event is to take place on Sunday 22 April 2018

At present we are waiting to hear from the Northstowe planners as to whether we can use the old airfield road,

However even if we have to change the route we will still need a group of motorcycle marshals to get us round safely and on time.

If you think you can help being a motorbike marshal we would be grateful if you would contact us on vivien.lampard@ntlworld.com

We will also need a few people to help as village marshals to guide the vehicles, this is vital in Cottenham, Willingham, Over, Longstanton, Swavesey,Oakington and Histon. Please contact us on the same email address.

We managed to raise £9511 in 2017 and it is a committee target to get £10000 next time.

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
