A photo of the discarded items I picked up recently alongside Cranesbrook. Numerous cans and bottles thrown into a tree and shrub area. Sad to see for the environment and potentially dangerous for children playing.

Can we just say “Thank you” to Jean Ding, her team and all those who came to the soup and pudding lunches a few weeks ago at the URC. Your support means that both Sophie and I are each £206 nearer our fundraising target for our World Scout Jamboree trip 2019 to West Virginia, USA and we are very grateful Sophie Riley and Owen Hucklesby

Local Weather Watch The prelude to the first “easterly” spell during winter since 2013 was due in part to a change in the polar vortex, a phenomenon known as “sudden stratospheric warming”. Winds in the vortex generally rotate anti-clockwise i.e. from west to east but during February they switched to a clockwise pattern with the winds blowing from east to west. Whilst the impact over the pole was to raise temperatures by up to 20C (36F) above average, the effect over northern Europe was to draw in very cold air originating from northern Russia and Siberia. The cold weather arrived during the last week of February. Ironically the coldest day of the meteorological winter was on its last day, i.e. 28 February when the highest temperature that day was -2C (28.4F) and a minimum of -6C (21.2F) accompanied by a biting east wind and frequent snow showers. Dubbed “the Beast from the East” by some and “Hysteria from Siberia” by others, the media went into overdrive devoting more than half the time on News Bulletins to the snow. Trains were cancelled, schools closed and hospital operations postponed and this was before any snow had fallen, which in the event initially didn't always fall where predicted. Ultimately, most places did get some snow with substantial falls in some places accompanied by bitter winds and continuous freezing temperatures for 5 days. Locally, however the snow depth was between 5 and 10 cm (2 to 4 inches), hardly noteworthy. Such was the hype about this short cold spell, one can only wonder how many schools would have remained open and trains run if a winter like 1962/63 were to occur again when even in the suburbs of London snow depth ranged from 10 to 40 cm (4 - 16 inches) lying continuously from Boxing Day to the first week of March. Notwithstanding that, public transport operated and things like milk were delivered each day. The “Beast from the East” returned briefly for two days over the weekend of 17-18 March again with freezing conditions. It proved to be winters swan song. A very wet spell of weather started on 27 March and continued up to 13 April during which time 80mm (3.18 inches) fell. The Easter holiday period was particularly bleak and cold. As if to emphasise how fickle Spring weather can be on 9 April it was wet and sunless with the temperature only reaching 9C (48F). A year ago on the same day it was very warm and sunny with the temperature reaching 25.5C (78F). We did not have to wait long for a 6 day warm spell to occur producing temperatures in the 20’sC, the warmest day (19th) only just falling short of the all time record for April of 29.4C (85F) which occurred on 16 April, 1949. April was however, often a dull month with 15 days being either totally sunless or having only brief glimpses of sun. The persistent cloud cover did however, keep night-time temperatures warmer than normal and there was not a single frost during the month, a rare event for this month. After two very chilly days at the start of May, fine weather then prevailed with unbroken sunshine during the early May holiday weekend, with the temperature on the Monday breaking the previous record for that day. It reached 25.8C (78.4F). Of all the seasons, Spring is perhaps the most capricious having the potential to swing from winter to summer and back during the course of a few days and this year has been no exception. It is what makes watching the weather such an interesting pastime. Patrick Landucci

Winds in the vortex generally rotate anti-clockwise i.e. from west to east but during February they switched to a clockwise pattern with the winds blowing from east to west. Whilst the impact over the pole was to raise temperatures by up to 20C (36F) above average, the effect over northern Europe was to draw in very cold air originating from northern Russia and Siberia. The cold weather arrived during the last week of February. Ironically the coldest day of the meteorological winter was on its last day, i.e. 28 February when the highest temperature that day was -2C (28.4F) and a minimum of -6C (21.2F) accompanied by a biting east wind and frequent snow showers. Dubbed “the Beast from the East” by some and “Hysteria from Siberia” by others, the media went into overdrive devoting more than half the time on News Bulletins to the snow. Trains were cancelled, schools closed and hospital operations postponed and this was before any snow had fallen, which in the event initially didn't always fall where predicted. Ultimately, most places did get some snow with substantial falls in some places accompanied by bitter winds and continuous freezing temperatures for 5 days. Locally, however the snow depth was between 5 and 10 cm (2 to 4 inches), hardly noteworthy. Such was the hype about this short cold spell, one can only wonder how many schools would have remained open and trains run if a winter like 1962/63 were to occur again when even in the suburbs of London snow depth ranged from 10 to 40 cm (4 - 16 inches) lying continuously from Boxing Day to the first week of March. Notwithstanding that, public transport operated and things like milk were delivered each day. The “Beast from the East” returned briefly for two days over the weekend of 17-18 March again with freezing conditions. It proved to be winters swan song. A very wet spell of weather started on 27 March and continued up to 13 April during which time 80mm (3.18 inches) fell. The Easter holiday period was particularly bleak and cold. As if to emphasise how fickle Spring weather can be on 9 April it was wet and sunless with the temperature only reaching 9C (48F). A year ago on the same day it was very warm and sunny with the temperature reaching 25.5C (78F). We did not have to wait long for a 6 day warm spell to occur producing temperatures in the 20’sC, the warmest day (19th) only just falling short of the all time record for April of 29.4C (85F) which occurred on 16 April, 1949. April was however, often a dull month with 15 days being either totally sunless or having only brief glimpses of sun. The persistent cloud cover did however, keep night-time temperatures warmer than normal and there was not a single frost during the month, a rare event for this month. After two very chilly days at the start of May, fine weather then prevailed with unbroken sunshine during the early May holiday weekend, with the temperature on the Monday breaking the previous record for that day. It reached 25.8C (78.4F). Of all the seasons, Spring is perhaps the most capricious having the potential to swing from winter to summer and back during the course of a few days and this year has been no exception. It is what makes watching the weather such an interesting pastime. Patrick Landucci

Fenstanton Archaeology Part 2: By John Deeks

Although the archaeologists had at first said that they suspected there was a Mansio in the un-touched part of the park, they now say that there is the possibility that it may be a temple. There were finds normally associated with a temple such as a brooch (above right) and various other offerings. But of course there would have been a temple in a Mansio complex so that travellers could pray and give offerings for a safe journey. Twenty human burials were found some inhumations, some cremations. One body in particular had been cremated in situ and the archaeologists found the unburnt fuel from the cremation fire. Two of the burials were found within a ditch and would suggest executions or suicides! A number of clay pits were identified plus fresh water wells. This whole area is recorded on later maps as ‘clay pits’ and Fenstanton people have been digging out clay for home and farm use for many centuries. Finds include in excess of 100 kilograms of pottery from the Roman period including burial urns, coins and what could be considered to be a temple statue. The archaeologists have now moved on to the old dairy site where they suspect the Roman complex continues. By the entrance to the dairy site, an area known locally as the ‘Triangle,’ is where they suspect the bulk of any remaining buildings will be. Unfortunately this area is not covered by the authorised dig and will be left undug for the present time. At the time of writing the dairy site has not produced any major finds and this is probably due to the site having been prepared for industrial usage. It is more than likely that anything Roman and any pre-history evidence would have been destroyed when the site was upgraded by Dairy Crest. However, the archaeologists remain on site and there may yet be finds to be had. Now other archaeological finds in the village. The following finds have been poorly recorded and there is no proof of exactly where they were found and the context involved. To the north of the dairy site an Iron Age burial was uncovered in the 1950’s during the construction of two orchard gardens. Cropmarks to the north of the dairy site seemingly depict traces of its earlier form of prehistoric activity and may also represent occupation into the Roman period. An Earlier archaeology excavations at Church Farm uncovered Stone Age and Beaker pottery from a series of pits. Bronze and Iron Age circular enclosure, ditch system and tracks and droveway were also found there.

Continued over

On Wednesday December 13th 2017, the archaeologists who had been excavating the park visited Fenstanton School to give a talk on their work also to display some of their finds. It would appear that the site was the previously unknown centre of a major Roman settlement. It is suspected that the development was of the middle Roman period 2nd-3rd century.

Fenstanton Archaeology Part 2: By John Deeks Although (until now) no Roman settlement remains have been excavated within Fenstanton, a large quantity of Samian and Castor coarse ware, as well as 28 coins and building material, have been recovered from a single garden just to the north of the High Street. This suggests a densely occupied site. The actual sites of these finds are not recorded. Excavation of a site to the north of the village has revealed a potential Roman field system, timber barn and water hole. This activity may be associated with the potential villa site in the field off of Fen Lane. The potential villa site has been confirmed by many of the village natives who have been exploring this site since childhood. Many of them have removed pottery and tile samples and they have been confirmed as Roman by the Norris Museum. An archaeologist’s excavation has not been attempted although the site is known to the County Archaeology Department of the CCC. Sadly, the site was levelled in the late 20th century and most probably most of the ‘villa’ foundations would have been destroyed. [email protected]

FENSTANTON WI

On Thursday, May 3rd, about 30 members met in the Bertha Pitfield room at the Church Centre, as the main room was being used for the local elections. It was cosy, particularly as we had a cookery demonstration. Amanda Hoskins demonstrated how to cook Paella, which she accompanied with anecdotes about Spain and the origins of paella. She also prepared a Spanish salad. As the delicious aromas developed around us, she continued with her stories, followed by a quiz, mainly based on her talk, but including some general knowledge questions about the ingredients. When the dish was cooked, we had the opportunity of sampling both paella and salad, which were as delicious as the aromas had suggested. Thank you, Amanda, for an entertaining evening. Future meetings: 7th June Scam Awareness by Elaine Mountfort 5th July Hyperion Auctions and Antiques by Lester Day 2nd August Skin care by Kay Ball If you feel inspired to join our WI, come along to one of our meetings and you will be very welcome. We meet in the Church Centre on the First Thursday of the month (except for January) at 7.30pm. For more information, please email Deborah Markl at [email protected]

Fenstanton Football Club End of Season Not the most successful or exciting season to talk about, but not the worst either. The First Team finished 8th in the Cambs League Division 1B and the Reserves finished 4th in Division 5B. The Latter are waiting to hear if they will be promoted to Division 4B for next season. The main talking point for the end of this season is that Reserve Team Manag-er Dan Berrill will be stepping down. Dan helped get the Reserve Team set up after the club had to fold a team a couple of years ago, and in the 2 seasons he’s been in charge, he has reached a cup final, and as previously mentioned, will hopefully have gained promotion to Division 4B. The club would like to thank Dan for all the work he has put in over the last 2 years. Fortunately, Dan will still be around at the club but as a player. The player awards were handed out on Saturday 12th May. The awards went to the following people –

First Team Top Goal Scorer (11 Goals) – Ben Hall First Team Manager’s Player – Brandon Haynes First Team Player’s Player – Ryan Hunt Reserve Team Top Goal Scorer (20 Goals) – Scott Wilkinson Reserve Team Manager’s Player – Dean Butcher Reserve Team Player’s Player – Mark Walker Clubman of the Season – Paul Street

Pre-season training will start on Tuesday 3rd July 2018 at 6.30pm down the pitch at Hall Green Lane. Any players interested in joining the club or people who would like to get involved in running the club please contact Mark Bucking-ham on 07739 964203 or message the Facebook page - www.facebook.com/fenstantonfc/ Also, please don’t forget the 2nd of our bi-annual car boot sales is taking place on Monday 28th August 2018.

FENSTANTON VILLAGE HALL TRUST

Fenstanton Village Hall Trust The Trustees have heard from the Morris Homes' representative that there have been significant delays to the development of the old Dairy Crest site due to the large number of archaeological artefacts that have been found so far. This has led to an extended archaeological investigation which is still on-going. Unfortunately, in the area where the new village hall is to be located, there is an area of contaminated standing water and this will need a period of treatment and remediation before the ground can be retested. This will prolong the period FVHT has to wait for the transfer of the land because Morris Homes are committed to handing over a clean site to us. The first phase of the development is due to start quite soon with the formation of the junction and roadway from Cambridge Road onto the site followed by the construction of a permanent show home located on the right hand side of this junction. Until the show home is built Morris Homes will be opening a temporary show cabin which will face onto the High Street. Meanwhile Huntingdonshire District Council has agreed our concept design at pre-application enquiry so FVHT is now in a position to submit a detailed design planning application for the new hall. Come and see the plans so far at the FVHT tea stall at Sports Day on 7th July when we can also tell you how the Village Garage Sale went

25th April We had a very entertaining afternoon with "Steve the Juggler". We learned about the history of circus, how it came about and the changes throughout the ages. Steve demonstrated various acts and afterwards we had the opportunity to try our hands at spinning plates, diablo, the devil stick, spinning toothbrushes and building a tower with cups only to knock it down again. Enjoyable time. 9th May Lisa from Wood Green came to talk to us about the history of the charity. We learned that they are the leaders in their field and have made many changes over the years learning how to do things better to enhance the lives of the animals in their care. Its comforting to know that they exist to look after animals who through no fault of their own have been abandoned, ill treated or just need a new home. There were lots of leaflets and other goodies available after the talk which was excellent. UPCOMING EVENTS 6th June Lunch at the Hartford Mill. 20th June Our annual Strawberry Tea Seems like June is for "Eating" We meet every other Wednesday from 2.00 pm until 4.00 pm in the building of the United Reformed Church in Chequer Street.

HILTON BRITISH LEGION

THE ROYAL AIR FORCE WYTON AREA VOLUNTARY BAND in CONCERT St IVES FREE CHURCH

SATURDAY 16th JUNE 2018 at 7 .30 p.m.

Tickets are £10 and are now available from the 'Just Sharing ' shop in St Ives Free Church or from us below. All profits will be divided between the Royal British Legion and the Fenstanton and Hilton Guiding and Scout groups. Led by Bandmaster Graham Sheldon this talented band has a wide repertoire - not entirely military - so many tastes will be represented! Clearly and appropri-ately they will also be celebrating the centenary of the formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918. Commemorations are being prepared across the world to acknowledge the end of WW1 and to remember the fallen. Not to be forgotten are the many animals who were involved in the conflict. Horses and mules were sought, often from farms at home to be ridden and to carry food, ammunition and medical supplies. Dogs acted as sentries and laid telephone wires. Pigeons carried messages, canaries lived in the trenches de-tecting gas attacks while there were cats to keep down the rat population. Mascots helped morale for the troops - there were tame foxes, a monkey or two, a baboon and some Canadian soldiers cared for a bear. Even slugs played a part, detecting gas by closing their breathing spores and compressing their bodies, saving many lives. This is why in memory of all of those animals there will be a few purple poppies somewhere in the knitted poppy display on St Ives Town Hall in November - so do seek them out!

Hilton Village Hall Committee Invite you to join them for some family fun on

Saturday 30th June 2.00 p.m. Picnic on the Green Bring your picnic and celebrate with family and friends on the Village Green, Hilton 3.00 p.m. Gates Open for Open Air Theatre – Hilton Village Green (bring chairs, rugs, umbrellas – whatever is appropriate for British summer weather!!) 4.00 p.m. Open-Air Theatre Production by Illyria of Dr Dolittle (£12 adults, £8 children, 0-3 free) Tickets available at [email protected] Time tbc Battle of Britain Memorial Flight – Hurricane Flypast

Afternoon Refreshments available - Strawberries & CreamTea, Coffee and Cakes, Feast Week Bar Monach Farm – Ice Cream Battle of Britain Memorial Flight – Yes, it is true – the village of Hilton has been granted the very rare honour, for the second time, of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight – Hurricane Flypast during the afternoon of Saturday 30th June. It has to be clearly understood that RAF participation at public events is entirely subject to RAF service requirements. It may be necessary, therefore, to withdraw from a flypast at any time should the need arise. I will probably not know the final timings of the flypast until the actual day but will keep the village website updated with any information I receive prior to the event. Important Advisory Notes: Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times – some of the roads around the Village Green will hopefully be closed for safety reasons but there will still be cars around some areas.Parking will be very restricted to those visitors coming from further afield, so could you please refrain from attempting to park on Hilton Village Green and be considerate to our local residents – please walk if possible, drop off chairs and picnic requirements prior to the event and arrange to park on friends’ drives if at all possible. Parking attendants/advisors will be on duty on Saturday 30th June. May I respectfully ask that all dog owners are extra vigilant in regard to clearing up after their own dogs whilst out walking on Hilton Village Green the week prior to/and on the early morning of Saturday 30th June. We will (hopefully) have many friends and visitors with young children enjoying their picnic and the open air theatre production so it would be very helpful and considerate if everyone could be mindful of this. Some elements of the weekend may change and timings may alter slightly due to the Hurricane flypast timings – up-to-date information will be available on the village website (www.hilton-village.com) and on village noticeboards. Come and join us for some traditional family and community fun – we look forward to welcoming you all for a truly memorable afternoon.

HILTON FLOWER CLUB

HILTON WI

Our May meeting was quite serious to start with as we listened to our own news and updates from our chairman and then we had details of the only resolution being voted on this year about the problems of mental health and it’s effect on people’s physical health. We decided to vote positively and our delegate Lesley was happy to go ahead with our wishes. Mental health affects a lot of people and needs to be talked about and more funding for services is really needed as is more money and qualified staff in hospitals to help people with problems in all age groups find the best help available. We hope this resolution will go a long way in encouraging both the government and local authorities to do the right thing and provide the necessary funding. Then we had lovely cake and drinks and Or chairwoman Donna unveiled a beautiful collage made by members showing a calendar of appropriate depictions of every month all different but really impressive ! Then we had the next part of our busy meeting when Andy Bush and Carl Parsons told us about Cyber crime committed on our mobile phones ,laptops and computers. As in a lot of things preventing the fraudsters getting to to our devices is reasonably easy we have to update them regularly and if anything looks dodgy do not open the email or attachment up as that is when a virus can get into your device and take it over. So be safe and be vigilant and you can enjoy your time on the internet, just ensure your security is updated regularly. Remember Craft club on 7th June to make a doll and other things too.

book doctors’ appointments, and much more…….

Hay Fever - Allergy UK helpline: 01322 619898 Did you know you don’t need to see your GP for hay fever treatment?

Hay fever and seasonal allergy treatments such as tablets, eye drops and nasal sprays are all easily available at low cost from your local pharmacy – no prescrip-tion from your GP required!

Antihistamines are usually the best treatment for hay fever and these can easily be bought from local pharmacies or supermarkets. Buying a packet of 30 tablets can cost as little as £2, but if a patient goes to their GP to get a prescription then it incurs a considerable cost to the NHS.

By going to the pharmacy you’ll be saving yourself time and money, freeing up GP appointments for people with more urgent needs as well as doing your bit to help the NHS save money on unnecessary prescription costs.

For more information about treating allergies or to find your nearest pharmacy and opening times visit www.nhs.uk

Top tips to help ease hay fever symptoms:

Keep house and car windows closed, especially when the pollen count is high (early morning between 7am to 9am and evenings between 5pm and 7pm)

· Avoid large grassy areas, woodland, cutting the grass and car fumes · Wear wrap-around sunglasses · Use petroleum jelly inside your nose to block inhalation of pollen · Don’t dry washing outside to avoid pollen sticking to your clothes · When you get in from outside wash your hands, face, hair, rinse your

eyes and change your clothes.
