2020
Events for 2020 had to be postponed due to Covid-19. However, the Sunflower Competition put on a good showing, brightening up the area.
We were keen to support St Thomas’s Sq with its window advent calendar. Some of the windows are available to view.

2017
18 March: Mother's Day treats. Our most popular event – with children making Mother's Day presents, plus tea and cakes, our AGM and a swap-shop. A poor turnout - only two children in total. They both produced a beautiful plant arrangement and a chocolate treat for their mothers – plus one for grandmothers, aunts and even for grandfathers! Why not? Granddads are important too! The plant, seed and book swap was again worthwhile – all plants went to good homes in our area and the extra books went to Emmaus. We have to thank Tesco, the Co-op and B&Q for prizes and plants. The raffle raised £26 for Red Balloon and £26 for RSPCA. Both charities were delighted with the unexpected gift.

Lots of reminiscing went on – but not many people wrote anything down! We want to make your stories into a booklet and send them in to the 'Capturing Cambridge' project run by the Museum of Cambridge. We now have a couple of long and fascinating accounts of life here during and after the last war (which you can read in our History section.
