A Gidding resident was getting quite excited as he turned the uphill bend towards his home and saw a wonderful array of supercars parked right outside his house. Racking his brains for any competitions he’d entered and forgotten about, his pace quickened.
Alas… it was just some lucky folk enjoying the B660 in their OWN cars (harrumph) who happened perchance to stop outside his house. Anyway, a friendly conversation ensued about the ideal merits of these particular road bends being particularly suitable for Lamborghinis and the like and all went on their merry way (well, almost all of them).
In an attempt to help slow traffic down in and around the villages, the Parish Council has purchased a supply of self adhesive wheelie bin stickers.
We are asking if you would be so kind as to place them on the side of your grey household waste bin which is then placed on the kerbside every fortnight. Rest assured that we are looking at further traffic calming measures for the villages, this is just a very cheap and simple idea to help spread the message. We have chosen the grey bin to get the greatest impact when the bins are out as not everyone uses the others.
The sticker should land through your letter box over the next few days, once every household has been given one there may be some spares if people would like to purchase them for a small donation to the village hall fund.
Thank you for your help.

Fresh players still needed
Gidding Badminton Club has for a number of years played social badminton at the Sawtry Leisure Centre. Over recent weeks active players have been a bit thin on the ground so this is really a call for new members and old members to come back to the fold .
It is social badminton played with every intention of winning but recognising the skill level is sometimes found wanting. If this sounds like your sort of game then come and join in on Tuesday evening’s from 6 pm until 7 pm. There is no club membership fee, just the court hire which floats around £1.50 to £2.50 depending on numbers.
We aim to play mixed doubles which rotate after each game and we play with the modern scoring system whereby you win a point at each serve. This makes for a faster, livelier and usually error strewn game. All good fun!
