You are encouraged to help get superfast broadband in Cambridgeshire by registering your interest on this web site here (and not just because South East Cambs MP Jim Paice says so!). According to Cambridgeshire County Council, over 7,000 residents and businesses have registered their demand to date

but many more people need to register to show telecoms suppliers the level of demand, which will help to bring better broadband to the majority of homes and businesses in the county by 2015.

Background: Two out of the six winning exchanges from BT’s Race to Infinity campaign of October 2010 were from Cambridgeshire (Madingley and Caxton).

Little Thetford beacon

As part of the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the jubilee beacon was lit at 10:15pm, Monday 4 June 2012 on the sports field at Little Thetford. Over sixty villagers turned out during an atypical June temperature of 10°C. Some village children even launched eight sky lanterns.

In March we asked for volunteers to help with the flower arranging for the village contribution to this celebration. I can report that meetings have been held and volunteers have now been allocated their “spots in the church”.
