From the Editors
With the first frosts upon us, the village smells
of wood smoke in the evenings and oil tankers
are a regular sight in the daytime as we all
baton down the hatches and try to get used to
the chillier weather.
Autumn got off to a magnificent start with
another hugely successful Harvest Fair and our
thanks go to everyone who contributes their
time and efforts behind the scenes all year
round to ensure this event raises much needed
funds for local groups and societies.
So now it is time to get the woolly gloves and
scarves out ready for the Bonfire Night
celebrations, but please remember to keep your
pets indoors, safe and sound.
Of course some of us are starting to make a
few early plans for Christmas with one or two
shopping opportunities in November – the
WRBL still have a few spaces for their trip to

SMARTIES FILING CABINETS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The staff and children of
Smarties would like to thank the
kind patrons of the village who generously
donated three lovely filing cabinets between
them in response to our plea last month. We are
now able to house our files and confidential data
in a robust and secure way and have ‘retired’ our
old, collapsed sets. Many thanks again.

NEWS FROM YOUR PARISH COUNCIL The full PC meets on the second Monday of the month in the Cricket Pavilion at 7.30pm.
The meeting is listed every month in the Village Post Office window, on the Notice
Board at the Recreation Ground, and in Odsey near the station.
A copy of the full minutes from Council Meetings may be obtained by contacting the
Parish Clerk, Sally Walmesley, Redwood Lodge, South Street, Litlington, Royston
SG8 0QR. Telephone 01763 852137 or e-mail [email protected]. The minutes can also be
viewed on the Steeple Morden Village Website www.steeplemorden.org and at the Village Post Office.
Discussion on agenda items at the October PC meeting included the following:
• County Cllr Linda Oliver reported on a recent meeting about the Odsey Car Park. The project is progressing
slowly (but surely) with Cambs. Council being interested in investing in an 80 car capacity facility. A business
case is being developed for review after which further decisions will be made.
• Cllr John Jarman reported that the Harvest Fair was, once again, a very successful event and whilst takings
were down a little on the day, sponsorship had meant that the finances were similar to previous years with almost
£3,000 profit.
• The recent sale of 2 parcels of land in the village was briefly discussed with confirmation that the 2 plots had
been bought by parishioners.
• The topic of “useful numbers” in the Parish Newsletter was debated - local useful numbers are on the village
website and more general numbers are published in the back of The Listing. It was agreed that a note to this
effect would be added to the Village Newsletter.
• When asked District Cllr Cicely Murfitt reported that the Affordable Housing Project on Ashwell Road was
still intended to go ahead but bigger schemes in other Parishes were being dealt with first.
• County Cllr Linda Oliver gave her report which included: new non-emergency phone number for the police,
recycling at Thriplow now including rigid plastic, various warnings from trading standards (fraudulent traders
targeting older people, solar panel salespeople and fake designer clothing), a family history help session on 15th
Dec (http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/leisure/libraries/) and future transport (bus 127 timetable:
http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transport/around/buses/atoz.htm?R=CHA+127)
• On the planning front, an agent working on behalf of the Horse and Groom on the A505 has requested to
attend the December PC meeting to present their plans. The PC agreed to this request.
• Cllr Tony Turner read a short report from our PSCO detailing a number of thefts in the area. The PCSO asked
that they are on the lookout for the occupants of a Silver/Grey BMW to question.
• Cllr Angus Alexander relayed that there is interest from a team in planning an event based on the Queen’s
Golden Jubilee for 2012. The PC is also interested in hearing from parishioners who would be willing to help
organise future Cowslip Days.
MOBILE LIBRARY The Mobile Library stops in the
village every month on a
Wednesday.
It stops at Russell Close between
10.10am and 10.55am.
The calling date for November is:
Wednesday 2nd November 2011.
TOMBOLA We are looking for items for our Tombola at
the Steeple Morden Christmas Fayre, to be
held on Saturday 26th November in the
school. Any unwanted items i.e. gifts,
smellies, cuddly toys, jewellery, ornaments,
etc. would be welcome.
If you can help, please contact Janice
Comerford, 6 Bogs Gap Lane on 01763
852808 who would be happy to collect from
you at your convenience.
Reminders to dog owners
The PC has again received a number of reports of dog fouling on and around the
recreation ground. Please clear up after your dog and use the dog bins provided.
Whilst you are not obliged to have your dog on a lead in public areas, you are obliged to
control it. It may be surprising to those of us who like dogs that some people don’t like
them, or are even frightened of them. Your friendly pouch bounding up to such a person
could easily make them feel very threatened to the extent of believing your dog to be
dangerous and involving the police.
Dog Mess From a parishioner:
There seems to be an increase in the amount of dog
mess left on pathways and green areas in the village.
Would all dog owners/dog walkers please, PLEASE
clear up after your dogs.
Now the darker nights are coming you cannot see the
areas to avoid.
Thank you.

Anne Beadman 01763 853000
Good afternoon all. Following the success of the layer's "Pudsey's Party" last November, I am involved in the
organisation of a smaller event on November 18th
at "The Crown" in Litlington, to be opened by Steve Line of Radio Cambridgeshire. We already
have some acts promised, but in order to fill six and a half hours, we need many more.
What can you do? For a start you can consider what you personally would be prepared to
contribute to the evening's entertainment, secondly consider your friends and acquaintances,
is there a magician, a vent act, a singing group or individual performer who would be prepared to
help? Do you know of somebody who can play keyboard for sing-alongs and/or accompany the
musical items? Thirdly, have you got an item which could be
included in the raffle/auction, or even would you be prepared to be our "Raffle Queen" and
coordinate the items ready for the night. Finally, do come along on the night with cash in
your wallet. "Show your Spots, Let's raise Lots". Please let me know ASAP how you are prepared to
help, and thank you for reading this. RRRRob Gilbertob Gilbertob Gilbertob Gilbert

October News
Not much to report this month – we’re all busy clearing and
digging over our plots ready for the winter, with onions and garlic
being planted in the hope of an early crop in 2012.
A big thank you though must go out to all the allotmenteers who
donated time and produce to the Harvest Fair – the allotment stall
was busy all day, with the ‘Courgette Cake in a Bag’, Hay Street
lavender bags and throwing wet sponges at your friends in the
stocks being particularly popular! The stall raised a substantial
amount of money which will go towards improvements to the
communal areas of the allotments.
And if you didn’t order a copy at the Harvest Fair then contact me
for the Steeple Morden E Glut Recipe Book available as a
downloadable document for just £2.50.

Steeple Morden C of E Primary School Report – Autumn Term 2011
Another academic year has begun at school and we are delighted to welcome the new reception children and their families into our school
community. We are also happy to welcome the new children who have joined us in some of the older classes. We hope that you will all be very happy
at School and quickly feel part of a welcoming and friendly community.
We have wasted no time this term settling into our new and exciting whole school World War Two topic. Highlights have included a World
War Two dressing up day when the school was overrun with evacuees and ARP wardens! Also, we watched an informative and entertaining
performance entitled ‘During the War’ by a visiting theatre company. It was easy to see how much the children valued this experience as you could
have heard a pin drop in the hall during the production. We were lucky enough to be visited by some members of the local community who shared
their first hand experiences of the war with the children. Thank you once again for giving your time so freely.
In early October the children and many parents and carers visited the Church to celebrate Harvest Festival. It was good to have the
opportunity to come together and give thanks for such an abundance of rich produce.
On the 5th of November the PTA will hold its annual Bonfire Night and Firework Display. Tickets are available from Steeple Morden and
Litlington Post Offices and the school. The fireworks are always beautiful, and there will be hot soup and good company available! The money raised
by this event will be put towards the continued redevelopment of the teaching kitchen at School. If anyone has a spare hour or two the PTA are
always looking for new members to spread the workload for the various events that it organises. Please contact [email protected]
for more information if you are able to help.
For your information our chosen charities for this year are Great Ormond Street Hospital, Red Cross Japan and Rebecca’s Rainbow (a
children’s heart charity). Throughout the year our school community will work hard to raise as much money as possible for these worthy causes.
For lots more information about our school please visit our website: http://www.steeplemorden.cambs.sch.uk
MUMA Mother’s Union Mothers Active
Motherhood is a difficult but rewarding job…a relentless,
tiring and frustrating job…a job that can leave you in despair
or the heights of happiness…a job that can fill you with pride
or fear, anger or overpowering love…a job full of power and
pain…a job with overwhelming responsibility and influence.
Come and share your story, cry your tears, laugh with friends,
find love and support.
A group for any mother whether you are with or without
partner or husband, whether you are in paid work or at home,
whether you have found faith or not, whether your children are
pre-school, primary, secondary, adult or left home…this group
is here for you.
Friday mornings during term time: 9am-11am, 68 Hay Street,
Steeple Morden.
Starting 11th November 2011. Creche available.

We’ve got loads going on at Bassingbourn Sports this month. We have welcomed back many of the village’s local clubs including Badminton Club, Judo Club and Youth Football Club. We wish them all the success for the new season!

If racket sport’s not really your thing, then we have a varied exercise programme to help reduce your waistline, not your bank balance, with prices as low as £4 per session or £29 monthly membership. Run by fully qualified and experienced instructors, classes range from high impact sessions such as Circuit training to relaxing sessions like Yoga.

And with the football season well underway, it’s a good idea to hire our modern, airy sports hall or floodlit synthetic pitch to keep your team on winning ways!
