The Pavillion, Soham Isleham Informer Summer Edition • Issue 80 • August 2017 • www.isleham-village.co.uk A great day out at Isleham Gala What a fantastic day we all had at the village Gala on July 1st! It was so lovely to see so many people out and having a fun time with their families. As Chair I would like to thank everyone who helped make the event happen from the commitee who work tirelessly through the year getting everything organised and look- ing great to the lovely helpers who came forward to help out on the day. We are so pleased to have the support of so many resi- dents, local businesses, High Street Church and so many other groups along with the sponsors who help fund the event. All the winners of the races and competi- tions are listed on pages 7, 8 and 9, to all the winners congratulations and to those who took part great effort! We have our AGM at The Beeches on Octo- ber 16th, 7.30pm so please do come along if you would like to help further or give us some new ideas and feedback, we are al- ways open to improving the Gala.

Thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it so – an annual event enjoyed by young and old. I love living in Isleham. It is the friendliest place I have ever lived in, and it is full of people giving their time to make it so. The Gala Committee, sports clubs organisers and coaches, leaders of the Brownies, Beavers Cubs and Scouts, parent helpers and Governors at our school, members of the Parish Council, Trustees at The Beeches, and committees of local organisations, all are run by generous people who give their time to make this village the great place it is. Do you have a few hours a week, or a month, to do the same? In this issue is an advert for a School Governor and an appeal from Mark Goldsack for new Trustees at The Beeches; not forgetting that the Informer still needs an editor. There is an old adage that says “You get back what you put in”. Why not give it a try?

The original building (the old Palace) is a traditional art gallery with some excellent paintings. Across the road (in the former Kings Yard and the Rothschild Yard) is the new section (opened by the HRH The Queen in November 2016) with gift store, refreshments and a lovely central courtyard. - The Kings Yard is believed to be the oldest racing stables in the world. Here we were able to see a former race horse being helped back into normal life in the Peter O’Sullevan Arena, which was very interesting.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council
    Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council East Cambridgeshire - Conservative Party Response from South East Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (SECCA) Summary 1. We believe that single Member Divisions provide for the most effective local government in East Cambridgeshire, giving greater clarity to the electorate and to City, Town and Parish Councils and other local organisations. 2. Our preferred scenario (scenario 1) is based on 63 Members, meaning that 9 will be in East Cambridgeshire. This proposed scenario allows for provision of single Member Divisions, achieves good electoral equality, provides for convenient and effective local government and offers the best solution, by some margin, in terms of reflecting community interests and identity. 2.1. We strongly believe that the Boundary Commission’s proposal for two 2 Member Divisions (within the 61 Member scenario) has made serious compromises to both community interests and identity and to convenient and effective local government, markedly so for the proposed Littleport West Division (Division 16). The geographical size and marked difference in service needs of different parts of this Division could cause conflict in Members’ ability to represent the whole of the Division effectively. 2.2. Sutton, and particularly the villages to the south of Sutton (Wentworth, Witchford, Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton, Stretham and Little Thetford) are totally remote from Littleport - geographically (residents of those areas look to Ely and Cambridge and do not use or travel to Littleport), culturally (residents of those areas do not link themselves in any way to Littleport), demographically and in terms of service need (educational, economic and health and wellbeing needs are markedly different).

  • Reflections on Eight Decades of Looking Back on Cambridgeshire History a Talk to Soham Old Grammarians, 3Rd October 2015 by Mike Petty MBE SG57
    Soham Grammarians - 2015 Luncheon Talk Reflections on eight decades of looking back on Cambridgeshire history A talk to Soham Old Grammarians, 3rd October 2015 by Mike Petty MBE SG57 Mike Petty This is not the first time I’ve spoken from this stage to this august gathering. The first was something over 50 years ago – part of a surprise 6th Form Revue updating you on what the school was really like. Perhaps some of you were there.

But at least it showed somebody had read it However the real first memory is of walking through Conservatory – it would be demolished very soon after - and under that arched walkway to the dining hall. There RAT and Sid (then Mr Peter Taylor and Mr Sidney Saunders) read out the names of those allocated to 1S and 1T. Archer, Ashwood, Bashfield, Butcher … but no ‘Petty’. It taught me a valuable lesson. Later I was allocated to the practical side – woodwork (I made a tray, others made tables), Technical Drawing – I got two marks (out of 100) – ‘He did very little, but put his name on the paper neatly’.
