Firstly, I’d like to thank the two ‘guest editors’, Stephen Miller and Jim Woodger for their very entertaining editions of the Link. I’m sure you all enjoyed a different perspective. If anyone else would like to have a go at editing the Link please get in touch on needhamlink@gmail.com Alternatively, if you would like to take over as full time editor please also get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
It was very heartening to join in the conversation on the Needham Link’s Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/NeedhamLink ) regarding the children’s play area or lack of in the Village Hall grounds. Since the dismantling of the play area there has been an influx of families with young children who would like to see the it re-established. If you are interested in helping to re-establish a play area in the Village please get in touch. Please read the piece about the play area. I hope there will be some people willing to help to bring back this valuable amenity. If you don’t have access to the internet please drop a note through my letter box at Mill Farm Cottage and I’ll pass it on to Fairlie who is hoping to mobilise support for this project.
Way back in September last year I was lucky enough to visit Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. It was fascinating to see how they are using the money raised by such events as the Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run. We saw how they are working out how tumour cells spread and how they focus on hard-to-treat cancers. Some of the equipment is mind blowingly expensive and the people working there frighteningly young - and very clever!
