History Society Fair

Girton Glebe School, Cambridge Road,
Girton, CB3 0PN
With the eleventh series of Who Do You Think
You Are? airing on our screens this summer,
family history has never been more popular.
At the Cambridgeshire Family History Society Fair
there will be free 1-2-1 sessions giving advice
about starting your family history and what to do if
you get stuck, free access to genealogy websites,
talks from expert speakers and lots of local
societies and organisations offering everything
you need to help you with your research.
In this very special 100th anniversary year since
the start of the First World War and 70th year
since D-Day, you will also hear about the Imperial
War Museum Duxford’s collection of Second
World War images as well as learning how to date
old photographs from looking at clues given in
pictures.
There will also be free access to the main
genealogy providers’ websites throughout the
day. Share ideas and practical tips with your fellow family historians and, for a small charge, there
will be soup and a roll for lunch while you chat!
Parking and entry is free (£2 to attend each talk).

How, Why & Where
Sawtry Parish Council is made up of 15 volunteers who are elected every 4 years or co-opted as
required. Every year the councillors vote to elect a chairman and in May 2014 I took on this role.
The Chairman is the public face of the council and as such I would be very happy to visit your group or
organisation. So far I have attended the Carnival, promoted the Scarecrow Trail, waived off the High
Sheriff of Cambridgeshire as she set off on her sponsored walk from the Old School, laid a wreath at the
War Memorial and attended the Sawtry Show.
I have also launched my Chairman’s Challenge to involve the community while having fun and by the
time you read this we will have had our first event with a sponsored swim at One Leisure.
If you would like me to attend an event/group/meeting on behalf of the Parish Council please do get in
touch via Sally in the office.
Look forward to meeting you

The Car Scheme offers a wonderful service to our local community by offering lifts to
anyone who has problems using public transport. Volunteer drivers give their time and
using their own cars will collect passengers from home and deliver them door-to-door.
They charge 45p per mile from their own home to cover the costs of fuel and wear and
tear which is paid in cash on the day.
The Scheme is currently being under used so if you or anyone you know could use
them, please give the Co-ordinator a call on 07810 476979

At the beginning of this year, I publicised details in the Sawtry Eye of what the
RBL can do to help Legion beneficiaries, however as new needs for RBL support
is an ongoing requirement I believe that the general details would be worth
re-visiting.
The range of services include war pensions and compensation claims, inquest
advice, benevolent / welfare help, benefits and money advice, independent living, care homes,
help with electrically powered vehicles, Poppy Breaks, Family Holiday Breaks and Adventure
Breaks.
To qualify for support the beneficiary must have carried out seven days paid service in the
Armed Forces (including Reserves). In addition there is an extensive list of others who have
served their country who qualify. Also included are spouses and children, those divorced from
a beneficiary and depending on circumstances, Carers who have an ongoing caring
responsibility.
So if you think that you or someone you know is in need and might be eligible for support, you
can call me on 01487 831458 or 07780807182 or the RBL Helpline on 08088028080, which is
open 8am – 8pm seven days a week. For further details, much more information can be
found at www.britishlegion.org.uk
The RBL also provides a handyperson service, Poppy Calls, carrying out minor home
maintenance jobs. More details of this service can be found by calling the Poppy Calls
Helpline on 08000320306, or my number listed above, and I will provide more details of this
service in the next edition of the Sawtry Eye.

Sawtry's Finest Super Heroes
Were Back Again!
As a group of local business owners we at SSBP have been delighted to get
creative and use our talents, skills and have lots of fun raising money for two
amazing local charities: Sawtry First Responders and CARESCO. Having
gained a great reputation and by popular demand we set about hosting our
3rd SSBP Race Night on Friday 21st March 2014. These are highly creative, extremely unique and
professionally delivered races pre-filmed and shown on the night for all guests to enjoy and try their luck
at guessing which superhero will win. To get a glimpse see our trailer on YouTube at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6rX56tFIMI
This year we had 2 highlights: A fantastic hog roast from Fenland Roaster and 3 live challenges. It really
was an entertaining evening and a great way to spend the night knowing also that money was being
raised for charity. This year we raised just over £600.
Before the night was over, requests for another race night in 2015 were made. So in a bid not to
disappoint and frankly an excellent excuse for more fun and laughter we are thrilled to announce plans
have been made to have our best ever race night on Friday 20th March 2015. Save the date and come
join us! Tickets will be available soon.
A huge thank you goes out to the many SSBP business owners who took part and made this event
possible.
If you have a local business and would like to find out more about what the Partnership might have to
offer you, please take a look at the website, contact Ralph Maloney, Chairman on 01487 832683 or

N ATURE
Autumn is a testing and stressful time for our deer. The rut will be in full swing as you read this
Eye. A number of our deer species take part in this annual ritual. The heavier and best conditioned
males battle for possession of the ladies to form groups called harems. They then get the chance to
pass on their genes to the next generation.
Of the seven deer species living wild in the UK, six are found in Cambridgeshire and three are now
relatively common in the area around Sawtry. These include Muntjac, Chinese Water and Roe deer.
Only Red and Roe deer are native to England, all other species were introduced through the ages. The most common of our deer in Sawtry, the Muntjac originated from Woburn Park. Escapes during 1929 – 1931 allowed them to colonise Bedfordshire and they have been steadily expanding their
range ever since.
Muntjac are the species you are most likely to see and do come right into Sawtry village. They are
browsers and eat trees and shrubs which gardeners have discovered as roses are firmly on the
menu. Most deer species have specific breeding cycles, but not Muntjac. Young can be born any
time of year. This makes for prolific breeding which is why they have been so successful in
colonising Britain.
Most of our other deer species have a more “traditional” lifecycle. Roe are first to rut which takes
place in the summer months. Red, Fallow and Chinese Water deer all rut in the autumn. The young
are born the following spring/summer.
The Fallow deer in our area are not the traditional chestnut-brown with white spots, but some are black
while others grey or brown all over. They are conspicuous in North Cambridgeshire usually in herds
out in the open in arable fields in autumn/winter.
Where are you most likely to see our local deer? As I have said previously, Muntjac are now living
with us even in the village. The Chinese Water deer have a stronghold in the Great Fen (see Sawtry
Eye Feb-March14 – available online), with Woodwalton Fen and Holme Fen their preferred
areas. Roe deer are more difficult to see but I have consistently seen them in Raveley Wood.
As with all wildlife, to get the best views of deer approach very very quietly, keep your distance and
stay downwind, using cover if possible to breakup your outline. Early morning or dusk are the best
times.
I began this article talking about the rut. The BBC TV programme Autumn Watch always features a rut
somewhere. My suggestion for witnessing this spectacular event is to visit Woburn Park as trying to
find wild deer is quite a challenge. The spectacle at Woburn is no less dramatic but will give you a first
class view of one of nature’s big events.
What better way to enjoy an autumn walk than to catch up with some of our larger
more conspicuous mammals.

Hello again everyone. The date for next year’s carnival is
set for 13th June 2015. The Carnival Committee has met
recently and we can confirm that the Carnival Court will be
an integral part of the Carnival again this year and there are
more details below.
We are looking at other events happening on the same day and are considering extending the afternoon to 4:30 or even 5pm to squeeze additional attractions in during the afternoon and connect
with those other events happening in the village to make for a more joined-up feel to the whole Saturday. It’s early days yet but you can see the Committee are busy with new ideas to make this 10 th
Carnival the biggest and best yet so watch this space for more news over the coming months.
Duncan Young
The Carnival committee are looking forward to appointing our new Court for the 2015 Carnival. The
Court will be an integral part of the Carnival Procession in their newly decorated float. They will also
get the opportunity to represent Sawtry at other Carnivals in the region over the summer.
The Court will include a Queen, Princess’s and a Rosebud. Girls are invited to enter from 5 – 20 (split
into three/four age categories). We will be holding a selection and Crowning night in Spring 2015 to
find our new Court- we are looking for girls full of enthusiasm and personality ready to represent
Sawtry proudly. Details of the selection night will follow soon.

Did you know that this year saw the tenth Sawtry Show? What a great achievement (and a lot of hard work!). As a family, we
have always been big fans of the Show and have entered stuff every year, including the kids from a very young age. It’s great
fun and we have gained an impressive collection of certificates over the years for a wide range of classes from ‘A Weather
Station’ to chocolate brownies, lemon curd to cross stitch.
This year there was a great new craft class at the Show for ‘upcycled’ items which set me thinking, just what is ‘upcycling’ and
how is it different from recycling? If you ever listen to the Archers on Radio 4, you’ll know that Fallon is starting up a business
based on upcycling. She finds old bits of furniture and other treasure then ‘does them up’ to give them a new lease of life
before selling them on. So upcycling is reusing something which was going to be thrown away by either revamping it or by
changing it in some way for another use. Whereas recycling involves physically breaking an item down, for example melting a
glass bottle & making a bowl out of the material.
Upcycling has some great benefits, for one it uses less energy than actual recycling. For another it’s very satisfying! On the
downside, certainly in our house, it encourages hording. There is stuff stashed all over our home waiting for that moment
when it might just come in useful for a project or a piece of homework. My collection of off-cuts of fabric alone is remarkable
and waiting for the inspiration to start quilting. We may be beyond the junk modelling stage, but you’d be amazed what is
sometimes needed for the more creative assignments set by schools.
At the Show there were a lovely range of examples of upcycling including a very impressive tower of
beautiful pieces of ceramics, candle sticks, teapots, cups & saucers and so on. Another entry was a
small table which had been completely revamped – with photos to show how it was done. Or how
about the t-shirt ingeniously converted into a clothes peg bag?
All very clever, though I can’t imagine that any plans for upcycling will significantly reduce the amount
we put out in our recycling bin, but we will have a lot of fun being creative!

On 17 July we were treated to a talk on the History of Tea and some tea tasting by Sarah Ormiston.
Legend has it that tea was discovered 2737BC by Emperor Shen Nung when he was sitting under a
Camellia Sinensis tree waiting for his hot water to cool when some leaves fell into the water, it was said
that it refreshed the spirit and alleviated tiredness, fought off illness and boosted energy. Tea became
popular in Japanese royal circles up to the 9 th century, the Buddhist monks tea ceremony is still carried
out today. The ceremony is carried out with only 4 people at a time, they have to wash their hands and
feet and after a meal of rice and sushi they are sent out and returned in silence for the ceremony.
Another famous event involving Tea is the Boston Tea party which was caused by high taxes imposed in
England. Tea bags came about in 1904 when samples were sent to customers in silk bags. We
concluded the evening by tasting 10 different teas including Green Tea, Assam, Blossom Earl Grey and
Lapsang Souchon.
Our next meeting is on Thursday 16th October, the subject will be the results of the Archaeology dig
around Sawtry, and on 20th November when the subject will be a talk from RAF Wyton on
‘The Pathfinders’, both meetings to look forward too and hope to see you there.
Don’t forget to come and see us at the Library on Saturday mornings from
10.00 - 12.00.
The History Society meets on the third Thursday of the month in the WI Hall, Gidding

Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you buy something you could be raising
money for CARESCO?
That’s right - over 2400 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, House of
Fraser, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to
CARESCO when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.org.uk
It’s like Nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going
directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with
– then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for CARESCO. It’s completely free
to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.
To make it even simpler, by downloading the toolbar, your computer will remind you if you visit the
website of a registered retailer.
On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping - and those donations soon
mount up.
So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business
travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for CARESCO at no
extra cost to you!

I have to start my piece this issue with some sad news about three of our members, Kit
Whitney, John Hunt and Janet Holden who have all passed on. All were long standing
members and will be missed. Our thanks go out to David and Jacqui Whitney, Colin and
David Holden and to Wendy Hunt for their very kind and generous donations in memory which will be put
to good use.
Since the last issue we have been out on our summer trip. We enjoyed a good lunch at The Bridge in
Waterbeach, a fabulous setting by the river made better by warm and sunny weather. We had a visit
from Gilly Vose from St Neots museum who bought 50's memorabilia and David Waters made a return
visit to sing to us in mid-September, as always our plans are ongoing as regards future entertainment.
There is also a change in staff as Lyn Wallis who has worked for many years as our cook has retired,
staff members and volunteers would like to thank her for her years of service. We are in the process of
recruiting a replacement for Lyn and by the next issue we will have a new cook in place. We would like
to take this opportunity to thank Pat Ayres for stepping in and taking over the cooking along with Daphne
Bacon and Angela Newell. All of their help is invaluable and without them all we would have found it
very difficult if not impossible to function.
As always our doors are open to anyone in the community who needs us, so feel free to drop in
Wednesday or Thursday where a warm welcome awaits you, or call the office between 9.00 to 12.00

Rehearsals have started in earnest for our winter concerts, under our new
Musical Director, Joanna Goldspink, a music graduate who is not only an
accomplished pianist and singer but who also has experience as an MD.
Joanna was runner-up Peterborough Young Musician of the Year on piano in
2010 and in 2011 became an Associate of Trinity College London.
As a singer she has played various principal roles with Gilbert & Sullivan societies and has
also played Carlotta in The Phantom of the Opera. She sang with the Birmingham University
Singers and in the University Women's Choir, runners-up in the Choir of the World final at the
2014 International Eisteddfod in Llangollen.
Joanna was Musical Director for the University of Birmingham G&S Society 2012-13, and
Assistant MD 2013-14. She was MD of the Peterborough G&S Players' production of The
Sorcerer, September 2013. She is using her knowledge and experience to help us expand
our repertoire still further and to continue to improve all aspects of performance.
This term we have also welcomed our new accompanist, Martha Page, a talented young
pianist who, with our new MD, is taking us through our new programme of seasonal songs.
The choir is enjoying the challenge of new pieces and traditional ones with new arrangements.
There will be something for everyone in the new programme.
We are always looking for new singers and I am pleased to say that a new soprano has joined
us. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at 7.45pm in the Methodist Church Hall, Green
End Road, Sawtry. Do come along and sing with us. You won’t be asked to audition and
there is no requirement to read music.

Along with other partner organisations, CARESCO is looking into the possibility of setting up a Food
Bank in Sawtry for local people. Currently the nearest bank is based in Godmanchester which is
difficult to access from the village. While there are a number of issues which need to be worked through
to make it possible, we are keen to get the project off the ground in the coming months.
If you are interested in getting involved in the setting up process, have knowledge and skills
to offer the team, would like to give your time as a volunteer or use the service once the
food bank is open for business.
Please get in touch in the first instance with the CARESCO office on 01487 832105,
email: [email protected] or call in weekday mornings between 9 & 12.

As you pick up and read this copy of the Sawtry Eye, the end of Poppy Appeal 2013 will
have past and the 2014 Appeal year started. It is my pleasure to inform you that your
kindness over the year, not just at Remembrance but by attending different events that we
have organised, has raised in excess of £10,000. Once again I salute your generosity.
All of our events went well, we were particularly grateful to the Wyton Voluntary Band for assisting us
with our concert. ‘THANK YOU’, to all Businesses and Supporters who contributed prizes and those
who loaned equipment and helped set up at various events, unfortunately I can’t name you all here.
You can gain more information about the Legion and particularly the Branch now by following us on
Facebook, full details below. Details of our Bingo dates may be found in Make a Date on page 2.
This year has had a few significant anniversaries, including in June the 70 th Anniversary of D Day,
August, the Centenary of the start of WW1, September the 75th Anniversary of the start of WW2. There
are a couple of others that most may not know about. October is the 50 th Anniversary of the official
opening of the Sawtry Ex-Service and Working Men’s Club. The original building on the site was a
Nissan Hut and known as THE HUT. It and the land it stands on was given to all Ex-Servicemen from
the village by the Ben Irish family in the 1920s after the Great War for recreational pursuits. In 1964, at
a Royal British Legion meeting, in the then Chequers Pub, it was decided that a separate Committee
should be formed to administer an Ex-Service & Working Men's Social Club for the purpose of
maintaining a permanent memorial in honour of the memory of the Servicemen from this village who
were lost in both World Wars. Full details can be read in a Publication called TIMES PAST, by
Derrick Allen (out of print). The story is also included in Looking into Hell by Mel Rolfe (available now).
The other anniversary is of Derrick Allen himself, a man born in this village in 1924 who joined the RAF
in 1943 and became a Sergeant Gunner in a Lancaster of the Australian Air Force. They went out on a
night Bombing Mission over Germany in November 1944, when the aircraft was hit by ground fire, whilst
they were over Belgium. The aircraft was so badly damaged that they were ordered to BAIL OUT; however one of the crew, another gunner, was trapped in his turret and destined to go down with aircraft.
Derrick, not considering his own safety, managed to get his colleague out of the turret just as the aircraft
broke up and they both bailed out at low altitude. Unfortunately Derrick’s crew mate didn't survive the
landing on the ground but Derrick found himself hanging from a tree.
Derrick received the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal for his action. It is fair to say that Derrick carried on
his life in that vein after leaving the Air Force in 1946. He went back to his trade of Carpentry & Joinery.
Derrick became the Chairman of the founding committee when the Ex-Service & Working Men's Club
was formed in 1964 and involved himself in many social and community associations all through the
rest of his life including the British Legion. The 22 nd November this year will be the 70th Anniversary of
his aircraft being shot down. Derrick's family will be visiting the crash site and the tree into which he
was fortunate to fall into in Belgium again this year for his special Anniversary.

As the seasons change once again, why not pop into the shop and find yourself a new
wardrobe item and a bargain at the same time. Stock is constantly changing so there is
always something different on the rails.
Our thanks to all our customers and volunteers for making the shop so successful and raising much
needed funds for CARESCO to continue and expand services to the local community. The additional
income has made the organisation more secure and helped us to introduce our new Good Neighbours
scheme—of which more on page 19 in this issue.
Contact the shop on 01487 208026 or by email [email protected] or by calling in to:

Do you feel lonely or isolated in your own home?
Or know someone who is?
Would you like someone to call or visit for a cup of tea or coffee and a chat?
We can help, please contact us on the number below to find out more or to request a visit from our
Co-ordinator.
This brand new scheme is being launched to reach out to people in our community who feel cut off in
their own homes. We are currently recruiting a team of volunteer ‘Befrienders’ who are wiling to be
matched up one-to-one with someone who would like a visitor to pop round on a regular basis for a
natter.
If you are interested in joining the team then please contact Emma on the number below to find out
more and to offer your services. We are looking for a commitment of at least one hour a week to build
up a friendship with someone who would like some company in their own
home.
Befrienders will not be expected to carry out household tasks or provide
personal care, just to give their time and friendship. All visitors will be required
to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Independent Living Fund (ILF) closure, June 2015
The Independent Living Fund (ILF) aims to support long term, independent living for severely disabled
people by helping them to live at home instead of in residential care. In March 2014, the Government
announced that it will be closing on 30th June 2015 when the County Council will take over
responsibility for meeting the eligible care and support needs of ILF users.
The County Council and ILF are working closely together to make sure the transfer of responsibility for
funding arrangements takes place as smoothly as possible. The ILF website www.dwp.gov.uk/ilf
includes more information about the programme’s closure, or you can phone the County Council’s
Customer Services on 0345 045 5202 with any questions.
The ILF is no longer accepting any new applications.

Cambridgeshire Fire And Rescue Service
WINTER is coming and after seeing a rise in chimney fires last year, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue
Service is encouraging all residents to get their chimney professionally swept before the cold sets in.
Top tips to enjoy an open fire safely:
· Sweep your chimney at least once a year and get brickwork inspected, especially the chimney
breast and roof space.
· Do not bank fires too high or overload the grate, and remember to let them burn down well and
check the hearth before going to bed.
· Use a fire or spark guard to prevent accidental fires.
· Do not place objects on or over the mantle-piece which may cause you to stand too close to the
fire to reach or use them.
· Burn only suitable fuels and avoid burning resinous woods as soot builds up quickly.
Above all, ensure you have a working smoke alarm fitted on each floor or your home. To find out if you
are eligible for a free home fire safety check, call 0800 917 99 94.

Huntingdonshire residents are among the top recyclers in the Country
recycling around 60 per cent of all household waste. This is an outstanding
achievement and the Council does appreciate all the efforts residents make to sort their waste.
There still seems to be some confusion over what materials can be recycled within the dry recycling bin
which unfortunately means a number of bins are being rejected due to incorrect materials being present.
Recycling bins that are found to have incorrect materials in will be stickered for your information, and will
not be collected until your next recycling collection once these items are removed. The Council wants to
make recycling as easy as possible for residents and encourages everyone to only place the materials
listed below within the dry recycling bin and help to reduce the risk of any recyclable material going to
landfill.
Plastic Bottles – remove the lids, wash the bottle and then squash
Drinks cans and food tins – rinse before putting in your bin to reduce other materials getting
contaminated with food waste
Paper, card, magazines and phone directories – no matter how big or small all types of paper is
accepted, including envelopes
Juice and milk cartons – rinse out any residue before placing into your bin
Glass jars and bottles – once washed out, these can be put straight into your bin with the rest of your
recycling
Place your recycling straight into your bin loose, there is no need to sort into material types or place in
plastic bags. Materials that are wrongly placed in the dry recycling bin are a significant problem, which
the Council is working hard to minimise, but we can’t reduce the contamination of the bins without your
help. The following items cannot be recycled within your recycling bin:
 Black plastic bags – avoid putting your recycling into a bag before placing into your bin.
Reuse bags where you can for shopping
 Textiles, Clothes and Shoes - we are unable to recycle textiles placed within the bin. If you
have unwanted textiles pass them on to your local charity shop or place in one of the textile
banks located throughout the district.
 All food waste is collected for composting from your compost bin. If you currently don’t have a
compost bin, place any food waste with your domestic waste bin.
 If you have any unwanted Wood items, take these to your local Household Waste Recycling
Centre where it will be collected for recycling.
 Disposable nappies should be placed in your domestic waste bin for landfill. To find out
more about reusable nappies visit www.goreal.org.uk
Contamination can easily be avoided by only placing the correct items in your bin for recycling.
Learn more about the materials that can be recycled within the recycling bin by visiting
www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/whatgoesinwhichbin or contacting 01480 388640
Community Oil Buying Scheme
Now is the time to consider your heating oil requirements for the winter
months. Traditionally heating oil prices in the summer and early autumn
months tend to be cheaper and deliveries faster than in the colder weather.
Cambridgeshire ACRE’s community oil buying scheme is designed to help purchasers of central heating
oil to make savings by buying in bulk. The scheme is open to anyone in Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough. Community buildings such as churches and village halls as well as businesses which are
reliant upon heating oil can join too. The annual membership fee for domestic users is £20 and covers
as many oil orders as you need during the course of the year.
Through our partnership with AF Affinity Limited, a subsidiary of Anglia Farmers Limited, the leading
agricultural purchasing co-operative in the United Kingdom, the scheme makes the most of collective
purchasing power.
The average saving is usually 2pence per litre against online prices. In July and August this year
members who ordered oil in these months got it at less than 50pence per litre (exclusive of VAT at 5%).
The environment benefits too as every time a tanker comes out to make a delivery, it is using a lot of
diesel – a full tanker can get as little as a horrifying 8 miles per gallon. If deliveries are organised so that
one tanker delivers to several customers in a village, instead of making lots of individual deliveries, the
fuel consumption is reduced and so is traffic in the village.
 Step 1: Join the Cambridgeshire ACRE Community Oil Buying Scheme
 Step 2: Receive a reminder to check your oil levels
 Step 3: Place your order online
 Step 4: Sit back whilst our negotiators get the best possible price
 Step 5: Take delivery of the oil and pay the company
To find out more about the Cambridgeshire ACRE Community Oil Buying Scheme go to our website

Fa i r t r a d e i s 2 0 !
Can you believe it, the Fairtrade Mark has been with us for twenty years! Significant
changes have happened in that time to improve the lot of farmers and producers and for
their communities.
Emerging from persistent appeals for fairness in trade from Mexican small-scale coffee
farmers, in 1994 a crusading group of NGOs, charities and trade campaigners came up with an idea.
The FAIRTRADE Mark was born, and the first three Fairtrade certified products hit UK shops: Green &
Black’s Maya Gold chocolate, Cafédirect coffee, and Clipper tea.
Products carrying the new FAIRTRADE Mark promised a better deal for the farmers growing the
ingredients, an agreed price plus Fairtrade Premium towards their communities and businesses. Twenty
years later, Fairtrade is a household name, with the Mark on over 4,500 products, and part of a unique
and truly global movement.
From these modest beginnings Fairtrade has grown to 450 companies now licensed to trade 4,500
Fairtrade products in the UK, ranging from traditional commodities such as coffee and tea, to cotton, raisins, spices, cut flowers, cakes and gold jewellery. Awareness of the FAIRTRADE Mark has risen from
25% in 2003 to 78% in 2013 through the vibrant and active grassroots social movement in the Fairtrade
communities of now over 560 Fairtrade Towns, 1050 Fairtrade schools, 170 universities and colleges
and 7,000 Faith groups. And, most importantly, 697 producer groups from 60 different countries are
now benefitting from supplying the UK with Fairtrade produce.
Out of Fairtrade’s leading products, 2013 sales grew for coffee (8%), sugar (22%), bananas (12%) and
flowers (16%) and this trend has continued worldwide with strong continued growth as consumer sales
of Fairtrade certified products hit €5.5 billion (US$7.3 billion).
So Happy Birthday Fairtrade, here’s to the next twenty!
Look for the FAIRTRADE Mark on your shopping. It’s your guarantee that disadvantaged farmers
and workers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

Fairtrade Foundation on 020 7405 5942
The Garden Month by Month
My plant for October: Cyclamen hederifolium. Hardy tuber. These plants are not difficult to recognise, (C. hederifolium: Latin - ivy -like) is so called because it has mainly soft shaped ivy like
leaves with exquisite silver patterns on each blade they have slightly scented little 5 petal reflexive nodding heads of sugary pink - white flowers which are usually solitary. This tuberous species grows wild
from Italy to western Turkey. Being evergreen they can be used as an ideal backdrop to snowdrops
under trees. (C. hederifolium Aut. fl) is the most useful Cyclamen for colonising, as it’s fully hardy. (C.
hederifolium var. confusum has a wonderful scent). C. coum is another hardy cyclamen useful for
colonising.
Jobs of the month: - Plant seasonal bulbs. Plant evergreen shrubs. ie Rhododendrons etc,
clear leaves off the lawn, start turfing. Plant wall flowers.
My plant for November: Viburnum bodnantense. var: Dawn. H. D. shrub. Any plant with scent in
winter is a welcome addition to the garden, though perhaps not the greatest looking of plants when not
in flower, it makes up for this with its beautifully fragrant little rose pink clusters of flowers, which are
surprisingly frost - resistant. The scent is honey sweet, suffused with almond, which carries in the air.
Plant it somewhere where it will get shelter from excessive frost and cold winds. Grow in sun or semishade in a deep, fertile well - drained but moisture retentive soil.
Jobs of the month: - Plant evergreen shrubs, hedges and deciduous shrubs and roses. Plant
tulips. Plant garlic protect in severe weather. Dig up & store dahlia tubers. Now is a good time to plant
bare-rooted fruit trees and bushes but avoid planting in frost or snow.

Commissioner urges drivers to “belt-up”
Cambridgeshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Graham Bright is
backing a campaign to encourage car users to wear seatbelts.
The campaign is part of a Europe-wide blitz on seatbelts. European
research suggests that about 50% of all car occupants that die in fatal accidents in the EU could have
survived if they had been wearing their seat belt.
Sir Graham said: “Road safety is one of the biggest concerns the public raises with me. The chance of
serious injury is greatly increased if you are not wearing a seat belt and can have long term
consequences for both the injured as well as their families. So please belt-up and make sure those in
the car with you do likewise.”
Roads Policing Sergeant Chris Huggins said: "Over the coming weeks officers from our roads policing
unit will be carrying out regular patrols targeting those flouting the law in relation to wearing a seatbelt.
This campaign is not just about fining people for breaking the law, it's also about giving them valuable
advice which could save their life."
Those caught not using the life-saving device can be fined up to £500.

S aw t ry C o lt s
The new football season is back at Sawtry Colts but still very much in its infancy with
most teams, as I write, only just returning to the pitches. As ever in September
cricket takes precedence over at Greenfield so most teams are facing a few away
matches to begin the new season.
Our youngest and newest team, the Under 7s (U7s), played their first match and
ended comfortable victors, in what will hopefully be the first of many local derbies over the years, as they
defeated Alconbury 8-2. The U9 Blues have had a mixed start with a 7-2 win over Warboys and a
narrow 3-2 loss against St Ives to start the season.
The U10 Yellows began their season with an emphatic 6-1 victory away to Huntingdon playing some
good football in the process. They got off to a great start scoring in the first minute and just grew in confidence from then on. The U10 Blues also began well, winning by the odd goal in a 7 goal thriller - more of
the same and the fans will be flocking back to Greenfield. The U11s started with a convincing victory an
11-1 win at Boston, I’m sure there will be harder matches to come but it’s a fine start to their season.
The U12s have yet to begin their season but should be in action soon with a local derby away to Stilton.
The U13s have played but the one game, going down 8-1 to a good Little Paxton side. They’ll be hoping
a first win is just round the corner when they play Needingworth next. The U14s Blues have also yet to
play any league matches but the U14 Yellows opened their season with an excellent 2-1 win away to
Somersham. The U14 Girls have also yet to play a match but start their season away to Swavesey and
hope to start with a win.
The U18s began with an excellent win 4-1 away to Whittlesey and the U18 Girls are also waiting to play
their first match but open up away to Sawston which will be a good test of how they get on this season.
So most teams have ventured back on to the pitches and the initial results are very promising, here’s
hoping we can better last year when two Sawtry Colts teams managed to win their divisions.
Just a reminder that the ever-popular Sawtry Development Centre returns in October. Sessions will run
from 10.30 - 11.30am on Sunday mornings and are designed to give Reception and Year 1 children their
first introduction to football. The sessions are all run by FA Qualified coaches - watch out for flyers arriving in local schools soon or pop along to Sawtry Colts website, www.sawtrycolts.co.uk for more details.
Good luck to all the teams this season, hopefully we can bring news of further success this season.
