Pub Crib
There has been a cribbage team playing from The Little Rose since the early 1960’s as part of the Greene King Cambridge Cribbage League. In 1986 we started the Haslingfield & District Cribbage League consisting of local pubs/clubs, all within a radius of 10 miles of Haslingfield, as a breakaway from the larger Greene King league. At present we have 9 teams playing on Thursday evenings. The Little Rose has been quite successful in the past, winning the league in 2007 and recently in the 2013-2014 season with players winning individual competitions. At the end of the first half of this current season we are lying 5th in the table, with plenty of time to catch up until fixtures finish in April 2015. For more details contact either the Little Rose or Keith Murray (keith@murraysouthwell.plus.com) and both will pass on your messages.

Play Trail Appeal for Haslingfield School
Many of the outdoor play facilities at Haslingfield Primary School are in disrepair, this is of particular concern given the emphasis on outdoor activity in the new Physical Education curriculum. As Government funding for Cambridgeshire schools is notoriously low the PTFA is working with Ms. Peck (Leading Senior Teacher and PE Coordinator) to raise money for a new outdoor play facility called a Play Trail. This will have two components, a traverse wall and a wooden obstacle course. See images and more details on how you can help by clicking on ‘Read More’ below: Read more
