On May 1st 1913 Haslingfield CC held its annual meeting. Prizes were donated by the President, Mr. J. Chapman. The winners of the various prizes were:
Batting, Mr. L. Barnard, with an average of 16;
Bowling, Mr. W. A. Wisbey, average 6 runs per wicket;
Fielding, Mr. Sidney Gifford.
The first match of the season was played at Eversden, and was won by Haslingfield by ten runs, the scores being 21 for the home team, and 31 for the visitors. Mr. J. Ling was responsible for 14 of the latter total.
Personal experience suggests that the wicket at Eversden has improved considerably over the last 100 years!

The Little Rose Pub has won the Rural Community Pub of the Year Award from the Cambridge and District Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).
It’s in recognition of what Camra thinks is the way that the pub is rapidly becoming a focus of the village community since Neil and Sue Poole took charge of it in July last year. Camra cited things like the Parents and Todlers group that meets once a week there, Bingo, the Quiz, and wide variety of sports teams as well as special events like Wakes, Live Music and Charity Fundraising Nights as reasons for why the Little Rose has won the award.

A Race night in aid of McMillan Cancer Charity is being held at the Little Rose Pub this Saturday 11th April. The first race is at 8pm and you can place bets of 50p on any horse. As it’s video racing, then there’s no need to worry about the horse’s form, jockey, trainer or anything else as it’s mostly pot luck.
All money raised will go to McMillan Cancer Charity.
