The Littleport Players get backing from Littleport Rotary

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Littleport Life

The Littleport Players have success after success with their productions! This summer they performed Disco Inferno to rapturous reviews and they are looking forward now to the winter pantomime, Sleeping Beauty! The organisers said in April: “We are so grateful to The Rotary Club of Littleport donating £500 to our group towards a much-needed new props shed. Last night we had the presentation and it was great to reminisce about the Players over the many…

Millfield School

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Deborah Hannaford

A few issues ago I wrote about the need for Millfield to recruit additional teachers for September due to the growth of Littleport; on just one day we were asked by the LA Admissions team to admit 15 additional children in September, in addition to those who had already been given reception places. We are now welcoming 4 new teachers. The growth of Littleport has also had an impact on our Nursery. Nearing the end…

Vine Community Church – Bees and Flowers – messages from God?

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Ian Silk

We have beekeepers in our church family at The Vine. Their bees make the most wonderful-tasting honey. Of course they are really God’s bees. Everything we have really comes from God. I’ve been thinking about just how extraordinary bees are. I’m writing this in July, and there are bees of different kinds buzzing around in my garden. They especially seem to like a plant called Lamb’s Ear. I was reading the other day that female…

St George’s Church

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Rev Howard Robson

Church is a movement, not an exhibit… Let me elaborate. There’s a tale from South America about a family and their prize possession, a wonderful old car. They spend so much time polishing the paintwork, dusting the upholstery, generally checking it over; they really love their car. They spend time sat in the car too, telling stories of journeys with all the hazards you might meet, and also, all the exciting things you might get…

We pick up events in 1915…

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Garth McGowen

Here is a continuation from the summer edition of Littleport Life focusing on men from Littleport who died in the Great War. By now the war had descended into stalemate with trench lines developing on both sides and stretching from the Belgian coast near Ostend to the Swiss border at Belfort. The trenches were far from complete and both sides continued to make attacks in an effort to break the stalemate. The first British offensive…

A Message from Littleport Christian Spiritualists

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Rev Nick Brown

One of the first lessons I learnt as a Spiritualist, over 21 years ago, was the simple principle that our way of life should make itself open and available to all. Although at the time both myself and the one who taught me that lesson were not ‘officially’ classified as Christian Spiritualists, there is no doubt in my mind that in our hearts we were. I refer to Rev Lyn Gibb-de Swarte. When we both…

Welney Wetland Centre

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Littleport Life

Welney Wetland Centre has had another successful year with the headstarting work of Project Godwit; a total of 48 hand-reared black-tailed godwit chicks were released into the wild, bringing the total to 112 over the last three breeding seasons. The wild population was boosted by the return of 21 of these headstarted black-tailed godwits, from their wintering grounds, in southern Europe and northern Africa, to the area they were released last year. These birds will…

Littleport Library – Wednesdays at 1.30 are for young children!

Posted on 1st September 20199th September 2019 by Susannah Webb

I’ve always been mad on books, and when I was young I was a regular visitor to the library. When I got older and moved away from home, I can honestly say I hadn’t thought to step into a library again in an age of cinema, TV streaming and Kindle downloads. However, when my son was born 3 years ago, within a few months of his birth I was back in the library. This time…

A Tribute to Sister Joyce Louisa Rawkins

Posted on 1st September 201910th September 2019 by Bruce Frost

Joyce died on Wednesday the 12th June 2019 after a few days in Addenbrookes Hospital, and she will be so sadly missed by everyone who knew her and that is a vast number of people. This includes so many of the folk that read this publication as well as countless others in many parts of our country. I recall that whenever I showed slides of my long walks in various parts of our country she…
