THE ADMIRAL IS BACK!
After many years in the hospitality industry, Barry and Jane Arliss had their proverbial arms twisted by friends to give Over back it’s traditional village pub. Together with their family, they bought The Admiral and have done a full refurbishment of the interior, patio and garden, which they hope the residents of Over will like and support. The pub manager is Georgie, who has some staff but is still looking to recruit more. If interested, get in touch with her at the pub, on The Admiral Facebook page or by email at theadmiralover@gmail.com. Opening hours are 12noon to 11pm (10.30 on Sundays) and at the moment there is no food…

South Cambs District Councillor (SCDC) Bill Handley’s Report to Over Village News, July 2024
General Election 2024 As many are likely to be aware, at the General Election on 4th July 2024 the Liberal Democrat candidate Dr Ian Sollom became our new MP for the new constituency of St Neots and Mid-Cambridgeshire. More information can be found on the BBC’s website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg3j6eyyljdo Adjustments to South Cambs Magazine summer 2024 edition The calling of a snap general election by Rishi Sunak caught many people out.

Report from Councillor Firouz Thompson – July to August 2024
Dear residents, as we look forward to the upcoming month of August, many of us in the community are still holding out hope for a true taste of summer, as June and July have left us shivering and soaked. This year, the UK has experienced one of its wettest Junes on record, with persistent rain and unseasonably cool temperatures dampening the usual summer festivities. The Met Office reported that parts of the country received more than double their average rainfall for June, making it the sixth wettest June since records began. With fingers crossed, we hope August brings the sunshine and warmth that eluded us earlier in the season. General…

Over WI – Report on July activities
The speaker at our July meeting was Nigel Fenner talking about “Cambridge’s Sporting Revolution With A Global Impact”. Nigel told us the Over and Swavesey area was a site of national importance for ice skating. In 1895 the National Skating Association was established in Cambridge with their HQ in Mortimer Road and between 1879 and 1956 (when the weather was cold enough to permit it) the national ice-skating championships were held in Swavesey 31 times. Nigel went on to tell us about Frank Fenner, a local tobacconist after whom the University of Cambridge Fenner’s cricket ground was named. The members enjoyed hearing about the local sporting history and seeing some…
