It’s the start of a new season, and founder Joe Maplin announces that he is setting up a camp in the Bahamas and needs female Yellowcoats to go and work there. The annual “Miss Yellowcoat” competition will decide who. Imagine the rivalry! Camp cleaner Peggy, meanwhile, is thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new Yellowcoat and convinces Entertainment Manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal candidate for the job. Ted is forced to employ numerous money-making schemes when his ex-wife turns up at the camp with a bailiff in tow and Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves send the rumour mill into its usual overdrive when Gladys is overheard escorting Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening. Hi-de-Hi is at Waterbeach School 15 to 18 May. Tickets are available in advance from 01223 880023, or choose your own seats by booking online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/wcp.

Many of you will have seen coverage in the press over the last few months regarding the introduction of a charging regime for vehicles using the sites. Park and Ride is important for many people in getting to Cambridge City centre. Whilst County Councillors, when making the decision, made it clear they would prefer to keep the sites free, given the financial challenges facing the Council and the fact that the sites cost £1m a year to run, they felt this is the right way forward. Use of Park and Ride still compares very favourably with parking in Cambridge itself and it will remain that way.
