Little Downham Play Reading Group
We meet in Little Downham every month to read published plays and / or those written by members. I cast and give each reader a synopsis of their part and away we go sight reading. Last month we read Alan Bennett's Kafker's Dick and this month a number of 10 minute theatre playlets and a one act Mummers play. We provide refreshments like a glass of wine or coffee and some yummy nibbles. A fee of £2 covers the cost of script copies.
The next meeting will be held at
The Studio, 11 Main Street, Little Downham at 19hrs30 on Tuesday 16th March 2010.

Little Downham Youth Club Report 2007 – 2008
This has been a very productive year for the Youth Club and its ever-increasing membership. Sessions are held every Monday evening at The Pavilion from 7– 9pm and are open to all young people in the village from the time that they leave education at Downham Feoffees School or equivalent education. Normally about 25 young people attend. A team of volunteer youth leaders who, between them, have a huge range of skills and experience supervises the young people. The team have worked hard to create an environment where young people can safely ‘hang out’, but also a situation where they can talk about their aspirations to people who really do take an interest in their abilities.

Help With Local Campaigns
East Cambridgeshire District Council would like to draw your attention to a new free internet service that can help Little Downham residents when campaigning locally. CampaignON.com allows groups or individuals to set up their own fully-fledged web site to promote small-scale local campaigns, either to raise funds for local projects (eg, for the local primary school) or on local issues of any kind (eg, to save the local post office or prevent unwelcome property development).
