Cambourne Garden Club
The Club meets informally in the bar of the Belfry Hotel at 7.30pm on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
If you have an allotment, a garden or just a window box, come along and share your problems, hints and questions with like-minded people, some with green fingers and some just with muddy fingers. This is a light-hearted and friendly self-help group.
There is no charge while the Club is meeting at the Belfry, apart from the price of a drink.
For further info on the club, contact Wendy on 01954 202484.

Men! Have you found that you have a skill for baking? Are your pies a thing of meat filled beauty, is your bread a crusty masterpiece, do your cookies and cakes leave the family wanting more?
Then the, men only, Cambourne Bake Club could be for you!
Description:
The first rule of Bake Club is: No cupcakes, No pink icing, No ribbons, bows, flowers etc.
The second rule of Bake Club is: If you can bake it you can bring it (except for: see first rule) so, pies, pizzas, breads cakes and cookies are all fine.
The third rule of Bake Club is: Perfection isn’t required – just as long as it’s edible!
The idea is simple, come along, bring your baked foods to share and eat with the other bakers. At the end of the night we dish out whatever is left over. Best of all it’s FREE!
We hold the evenings at Greens Coffee Shop/Wine bar. So, if you want a beer with your pie, wine with your pizza or just a coffee with your cake it’s all there for you!
