School bus is saved
The recent decision by Cambridge County Council to stop the free school bus
for some of the children in Girton and Oakington was reversed under appeal
following a hard-fought campaign by parents with support from local Councillors.
The appeal was based purely on the safety of the route and was heard by three
independent County Councillors on the 21st May.

Girton Show, Saturday 12th July 2008
Soon there will be a knock on your door and you will be able to purchase a
schedule (still only 50p) and decide which classes you will enter. There are
plenty to choose from - something new this year?
Rosettes, vouchers and handsome trophies await new (?) winners - it could be
you. My favourite section "Young Girton" both Juniors and Seniors, offer
challenges for your imagination and nimble fingers.
Will you delight us yet again? I do hope so. We have a 3rd rosette
awaiting you (1st and 2nd too) and trophies just for you.
