COMMUNITY PUB OF THE YEAR

CAMRA’s Cambridgeshire branches sponsored and presented an award in September to the Blue Bell at Maxey, near Peterborough, for the Community Pub of the Year, part of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Community Life Awards 2007.

CAMRA selected the most important pub to community life after visiting 8 shortlisted pubs over the summer. CAMRA was looking for pubs that serve their community well, get involved with all sections of the community and work in partnership with local businesses.

Runners-up were the Prince Albert at Ely and the Carlton Arms in Cambridge. Pubs nominated for Huntingdonshire were the Chequers at Little Gransden and the Lord John Russell in St Neots.

The award was presented by Kathy Hadfield-Moorhouse of CAMRA’s Huntingdonshire branch at a prestigious event in September at the St Ivo Centre, attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire along with many other local luminaries.

Other category awards were presented for people, activities and facilities in communities around Cambridgeshire. The awards are organised annually by Cambridgeshire ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England), a charity whose members include parish councils and community groups.

ACRE works with community bodies and groups to support and develop voluntary and community organisations to become more sustainable and independent and to create greater equality and improved opportunities for members of local communities.
