  • Executive Summary and Overview by the Chief Executive
    Appendix 1: Proposed Vivacity Business Plan 24.2.1 Executive Summary and Overview By The Chief Executive The next five years is a story with two themes. The first is one of business as usual. Given the nature of our work this is not surprising. The day to day work of Vivacity remains unchanged- lending almost 1 million items through our libraries; teaching 1500 children a week to swim; providing 1million people the opportunity to take part in sport; approaching 100,000 people learning about their local heritage and 55,000 theatre tickets sold each year. The second theme is one of change brought about by opportunities. Most significantly: Development of Hampton Leisure Facilities - It is probable that the management of two new leisure facilities will be offered to Vivacity in the summer of 2013. This will generate fantastic new opportunities for people to take part and increase our turnover dramatically and hence make a significant contribution to our central support costs. This must be balanced by the knowledge that it will bring tangible risks- the business model is primarily based on the selling of gym memberships in other words a non- fixed income. It is crucial that we approach the opportunity presented by these facilities with business focus rather than being attracted by the opportunity of growth for its own sake. If these projects move forward they will become the main focus of effort in 2013 and 2014. Must Farm Finds - The long term future for the Must Farm find is far from clear. What is known is that Flag Fen offers up a medium and perhaps longer term opportunity for the preservation and presentation of these fantastic artefacts.

  • Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes
    Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes Alwalton – Some history Traces of early man have been found. In Roman times a building of some kind evidently existed at Alwalton, and various coins and pieces of pottery, etc., have been found. King Edred granted the land at Alwalton in 955 to his thegn Aelfsige Hunlafing. It was afterwards given to the Abbey of Peterborough, which held Alwalton at the time of the Conquest. Alwalton was listed in the Domesday Book [1086] as “Alwoltune”. It records that there were 20 households with a population between 70 and 100. In the 2011 census the population was 317. Alwalton used to be in the administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. Apparently locals are still fiercely loyal to the old county – or at least identify with it as a shire district, rather than Cambridgeshire. References Archive images – Alwalton British History Online – Alwalton British History Online – Parishes, Alwalton Welcome to Peterborough – Alwalton Wikipedia: Alwalton Wikipedia: Huntingdonshire Alwalton Marble Alwalton marble is known to have been used from the 12th century until 1875**. It was used in the cathedrals at Lincoln, Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and Ely, and in Southwell Minster, as well as many parish churches, such as Barnack. The quarry site has been identified as the Alwalton Lynch escarpment on the banks of the River Nene (which provided a convenient way of transporting the stone).
