7:30pm, at the Church Hall, High Street, Oakington

We look forward to hearing from members of Water Sensitive Cambridge about their work in our area of scarce water and denuded habitats. Oakington & Westwick have suffered from flooding in the past, and Water Sensitive Cambridge have ideas about how to make best use of the precious resource of water including when there is too much of it!

Also coming up

• Apple Pressing. 12-4pm Saturday 12 and Saturday 26 October. Blue Barrel Cider will be opening up their yard at the old stables on the High Street.

There will be free refreshments available at this family favourite event, along with the chance for adults to buy delicious local cider.
