Melbourn Mobile Warden Scheme With continuing demand for our service, MMWS now has four wardens covering the village. We recently welcomed Jane Cage as our fourth warden; Jane will be sharing the load with the other wardens, as well as building her own member list. The Friends of MMWS is an independent group of wardens, members and committee members who raise funds for members to enjoy outings and social events free of charge. The Friends work hard throughout the year in addition to their day-to-day duties. Wardens, members and Friends manned their usual stall at the village fête in June and raised a substantial sum for the Friends fund.

Another stall at the indoor bazaar in the Village College on the 9th of November included knitwear and craft items made by scheme member Joyce Fyvie, who most generously donates the proceeds from selling her work throughout the year. A trip on the Captain’s Table Cruising Restaurant from Hartford Marina, Huntingdon was booked again by popular demand and thirty-two members enjoyed a roast beef lunch on board the narrow boat as it sailed along the river Ouse. Thirty-eight full and associate members were picked up from their homes by minibuses supplied by Royston & District Community Transport and taken to the Cambridge Motel on the 16th December for an excellent Christmas lunch with all the trimmings and a raffle for a host of prizes, donated by the Friends and the melbournmagazine
