There are planning applications to place 20 gas powered generators on Reach Road. Each generator has a huge 89 litre fossil fuelled engine. The plant has a total engine capacity equivalent to 1000 cars and generating enough power for 80,000 homes; this is no small backup power system for the village. These generators could power two city's the size of Cambridge and yet most villagers were not aware of this application to build this power station. This is set to add significant air and noise pollution to the village, and may damage local wildlife sites.

Noise is set to be reflected over the Swaffham side of the village and the nearby nature reserves. One aspect of particular concern is the effect it will have on the barn owls ability to hunt on the fields nearby to the site. Barn owls are sensitive to noise, they can’t hunt effectively with background noise as they must hear their prey. Noise is planned to be directed over their hunting grounds.

NOx air pollution emission from the plant which causes acid rain and heath problems, will be blown over the village by the dominant south westerly wind. For a village famous for its clunch stone, which is very sensitive to acid erosion this is not good news for our heritage. There is no need to locate the plant where they plan on the edge of the village. Burwell has the super grid connection capable of powering London, with one of the largest transformers in the UK located at the substation and yet they want us to believe we need to generate fossil fuel power within the village. If there are no restrictions put in place, this power station could be run 24 hours a day emitting higher levels of pollution.

The planning application is split into two applications East Cambs District Council 17/01071/FUL & 17/01072/FUL

In memory of a son of Burwell, Arthur Martin professional soldier and countryman passed away Sunday 14th May in Auckland New Zealand aged 95. Proud veteran of the forgotten 14th and the Glider Pilot regiment. He travelled far and wide but kept Burwell close to his heart.

Seeking help from any FULLER in Burwell. I have sorted most of the names on the war memorial but two are very confusing. A FULLER and W FULLER.

The A could be Alfred, but he is also recorded as William Alfred, in fact I do believe the W FULLER is in fact William Alfred. His headstone has him as A Fuller but he died and was buried as William Alfred Fuller

There was an Alex FULLER born in Burwell in 1881 but who moved from the village and was killed late in 1918.

I have Arthur James, Henry John and John William Fuller sorted, it is just the A and W that need clarifying, so PLEASE, can anyone help me?

What I have so far is on www.undyingmemory.net

Calling all Burwell cyclists...
The proposed Lode-Quy cycle path (running parallel to the B1102) is coming before the planners very shortly. It would enable you to cycle from Burwell to Cambridge purely on cycle paths without doing the Bottisham detour. It would be really helpful if as many of you as possible could email the council to demonstrate community support from further afield than our two villages. Write your email to:

rochelle.duncan@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

It is important that it gets through the planning stage smoothly and quickly.
as it has to be built before the grant runs out in the spring.
(Please reply if you are emailing so we can get an idea of how much support
we have got.)
Many thanks indeed

Cambridge Rangers Women's Football Club has been part of the Cambridgeshire football scene for more than 10 years. Rangers has helped develop many players since the club started and continue to welcome players from around the city and the world for that matter. Players and coaches share one philosophy, that football is for all and it is about enjoyment as much as it is about winning. We love to win, but what sets us apart from other clubs is that our players are smiling at the end of every game, no matter the result. We are looking for new players for this season that starts in September. So whether you've played before or been inspired by the Women's World Cup to give it a try, come and give it a go. We are an all inclusive club with players of all standards. We train every Tuesday evening at Girton Recreation Ground from 7pm, and play our matches in an FA Women's league on Sundays. Please email cambridgerangers@gmail.com for more information or just show up from Tuesday August 25th.

Sooty is a black and white semi feral cat who adopted us last year. He hadn't been neutered so after a year of suffering a rather stinky porch we had him done and microchipped. He wasn't best pleased as we had to keep him in for two days afterwards and as a result hasn't been seen since. We are heartbroken but still feel we did what is best for him. He is black and white with a blind eye, currently with shaved chest and paw. He is microchipped. Last seen in North Street, Granchester Rise and Lodeside. Any info would be great.

Hello,
My name is Anna and I am currently looking to do some babysitting in the evenings in Burwell.
Having graduated from University last year, I have spent the last year working at a school and am currently doing an internship with a charity in Cambridge.
I have previously au paired in Spain, had various babysitting responsibilities, some work experience in both primary and secondary schools, and a range of summer activity leader jobs. I am enthusiastic, responsible and outgoing, and would be extremely reliable when looking after your children. I love sport, cooking, music (playing the flute and piano, I could help to encourage music practice!), being creative and am willing to lend a hand with homework, or to just take care of the children until you return.
I completed a cooking course this summer, so there would no doubt be an endless supply of treats, and I would be more than happy to make some yummy dinners every so often!
If you would like to arrange to meet up and discuss any babysitting possibilities, then please give me a ring on 07730-588055.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Anna

I'm trying to find out more about my wife's great Aunt, GRACE LYDIA BRUCE, widow of William Henry Bruce. She died in early 2010 at the age of 89 ather home in Burwell.

I remember visiting her and William Henry Bruce some years ago with my wife and other family members.

I was wondering if anyone knows where exactly she lived. I am trying to find her son, Bill Bruce, and her daughter Jean.

Is she buried in Burwell, perhaps with her husband William?

Perhaps someone in Burwell might have known her and William
and remember them.

I'd be really pleased to hear from anyone in Burwell, or any
information about Billy and Jean.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

yours sincerely. Stuart Hamilton, Bedford

It seems that the Cambridge address they are using is not in anyway related to the company. I am not saying that they are a fraudulent company, nor making any speculation about the company's ability to provide a reliable and quality service - I simply would like to make people aware so they can be sure of who they are dealing with should they choose to become a customer.

Do you currently experience Intrusive Memories?

I'm a local postgraduate student working on a study about intrusive memories for the University of Hertfordshire.**By taking part in the study you would automatically enter in a prize draw and have one in ten chance of winning a £25 voucher**~~

1. Are you aged between 18-50?

2. Do you currently experience a repetitive, unwanted, intrusive memory/ memories* of some event that happened in your life recently? (e.g. break up of a relationship, fall out with friends, personal failure, death, illness, traumatic labour etc.).

3. If so, does this memory or memories intrude on your consciousness and disrupt your to day-to-day activities?

If your answer to these three questions is yes, and you experience these intrusive memories at least once a day, would you be willing to keep a diary of these memories or other involuntary memories for one week and fill in some questionnaires?

The study is being conducted by two postgraduate psychology students and will consist of an initial one hour session where you can nominate up to three intrusive memories, complete a short series of questionnaires and receive instructions for the diary. You will then be asked to keep a diary for one week; filling in the diary will take no more than 5-10 minutes per day. A second session after the diary week will last approximately 30 minutes.

Keeping a diary of unwanted intrusive memories may cause some discomfort. Therefore, participation is entirely voluntary and you will be free to terminate your participation at any time.
* Please note that in this study the term ‘memory’ is referring to a memory that consists of a visual image of a specific scene that has actually taken place. General thoughts or worries are not included.

If you are interested in taking part in this study or have any further questions, please, email Helen Robinson on h.robinson4@herts.ac.uk. Alternatively, please get in touch with the supervisor of the project Prof. Lia Kvavilashvili at L.Kvavilashvili@herts.ac.uk 01707285121.

We are a couple of keen gardeners who have run Open Gardens in our village for a number of years and we are trying to develop a national Open Gardens website specifically aimed at town and village Open Gardens.

The website is in its infancy and we need organisers to add their Open Garden events. The site benefits event organisers and also those who attend Open Gardens weekends. For the humble town or village Open Gardens event, we think this is an exciting opportunity to get an event publicised for free.

If you are an Open Gardens organiser and feel this might be of interest, please get back to us or go ahead and add your forthcoming event - there is no charge.

My dear brothers kindly entered me into the gruelling 80km Three Peaks Bike & Hike Challenge for Action Medical Research, a charity dedicated to improving the health of babies and children in the UK.

The team's called “Eric’s How Old?” as they volunteered me for this without my knowledge to help celebrate my 40th birthday. They thought it an opportunity to get the 'old git' in shape before it’s too late. We've all been training hard and to match this dedication we'd appreciate it if you could spare a few quid to help us reach our joint goal of £1600.

A bit more information on the challenge and way to sponsor us can be found at our The Three Peaks Bike & Hike Challenge - www.action.org.uk/sponsor/ericshowold

Thanks, Eric, Andrew, Rob, Steve

Hi I am looking to rent a property for me and my two children, I am currently living in southwales and am looking to move asap.

Does anyone have any land in Burwell that they would be willing to rent to us for the evening to hold a wedding reception/birthday party? We would want to put a marquee on the land and also let our guests camp there for the night. Thanks, Tamsin

We are hoping to buy a house in Burwell, moving from Oxford. We have 2 girls aged 10 and 12, and we need to move their 2 ponies as they are part of our family/lives. Are there any yards in Burwell where there are other children? We need to keep them somewhere where there is mutual help and fun!
