30mph stickers for the Villages

30mph stickers for the Villages

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.

Gidding Badminton Club

Fresh players still needed

 

DadddersGidding  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!

Contact Michael Trolove  for more details
