Calling all swimmers for the Home-Start and South Cambridgeshire Aquathon This year Home-Start Royston and South Cambridgeshire are trying to make their annual Aquathon the biggest one yet and are calling on local clubs and organisations to help them make an ever bigger splash this year. The annual event, which has traditionally been held in partnership with local schools, is now being opened up to other local organisations keen to kick start their fundraising. This joint fundraiser is the perfect opportunity for local organisations to raise funds, and all without the hassle as Home-Start Royston and South Cambridge do all the heavy lifting. The event, which will be held on the evening of Sunday 19th May at the Royston Leisure Centre is organised entirely by local family support charity Home-Start Royston and South Cambridgeshire. Participants are invited to contribute teams of six for a fun 55 minute relay swim, and the great news is that participants can walk away with 50% of the sponsorship they raise, while the remaining 50% goes to support Home-Start’s vital work with local families in crisis. It’s a win-win for local people wanting to raise funds for a club or charity close to their hearts – with the added bonus of supporting local families in need. With everyone from little nippers to grandparents welcome to take part, it has the potential to be a golden fundraising opportunity for a wide range of organisations – schools, Scouts, Guides, local sports clubs just to name a few. Places at the Aquathon are limited, so if you would like to get involved and raise money for your club, whilst also supporting local families, contact Home-Start Royston and South Cambridgeshire for an application form.

Sadly despite all the good work over the past two years there are some people who still think it is OK to drop litter in our neighbourhood and so there is still a need for these sessions which are organised by Steeple Morden Parish Council.
I hope many of will join us for a session or two this year (there are eleven dates to choice from) as many hands make light work! It is just 60 minutes and we provide all the equipment you might need.
If you have any questions please email [email protected] - we look forward to seeing you this year.
If you would like to volunteer to be part of the Steeple Morden Speed Watch team, we are looking for team members and a co-ordinator.

‘Thank you’ from Home-Start Royston & South Cambridgeshire to the local community
We often write to tell you how we help local families
overcome times of personal difficulty and you
respond generously to our requests for financial and
practical help to achieve this. Now, we would just like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who supported our ‘Celebrating Voices Concert’ in March. Firstly, thank you to Linda Bance of ‘Play Music Play’ http://www.playmusicplay.co.uk/groupdetails.shtml. Linda’s inspiration and guidance took four local choirs through to a tuneful and immensely enjoyable evening. The choirs were: ‘Foxton Singers’ led by Philip Atkin, ‘Reed St Mary’s Church Choir’ led by Helen Holliday, ‘Ad Hoc’ led by James Hobro and ‘Womensing’ led by Linda. Indeed, Linda had initiated the idea of a pop-up women’s choir for new singers and nearly fifty ladies, aged between 13 and 80, took to the stage for their first – and very popular – performance. Local author Sarah Harrison was a warm and entertaining host and the community singing encouraged everyone to ‘have a go’. We were sad not to be able to perform as planned in St John’s Church in Royston and we wish them well in the speedy restoration of the lovely building. Meridian School quickly rescued us by offering the use of their superb facilities and giving us wonderful support. Many people, including a very appreciative audience, helped to make the evening a success and we would like to thank you all. Linda Bance’s ‘Womensing’ choir, kindly donated almost £1,000 from their weekly contributions and this, together with the proceeds of the event raised over £3,300! And we shall hear more treats from them in future because the ladies have voted to 10 become ‘Home-Start Royston and South Cambridgeshire’s Choir’!

Additional Newsletter Editor Required
Gina is moving on, not far away but feels she cannot justifiably continue to edit the Newsletter as she is moving out of the Village.
I am quite happy to carry on alone, but there are times when I need a helping hand. Perhaps there are past editors who would like to help out. Or preferably someone new with new ideas to work alongside me.
It is time consuming but very enjoyable, not always easy, as computers have a way of fighting back and not doing as you would wish.
The Newsletter is issued monthly, with 26 copies being hand delivered.
You would need a fairly large screen monitor, preferably with Windows 10 and Word 2013+
