Forthcoming Events In Little Downham.

News just in, our good friend Mr A.(Winnie)Winters has given me information of a dance to be held at Lt Downham Village Hall on Saturday 10th April, dancing to the "Rock Island Rebels". Apparently his latest son of 4 months old had a bit of a problem when he was born,( alright now though) and he thought it would be a good idea to put on various charity events to show his appreciation to all concerned at Addenbrooks Hospital.Tel Andrew on 01353 776018 for tickets. Nice one Winnie.
