Wine Quiz, Wednesday 22nd April
Emma Howat has kindly agreed to run this event for us. See if your tastebuds can differentiate between the wonderful flavours of the grape varieties and the countries in which they are grown. This will be a blind tasting and only Emma will know the answers. The Three Hills has kindly agreed to host the event courtesy of Gemma and Jason. There will be an 8 o'clock start, with a maximum of 6 teams of 5 so book early to avoid disappointment.

Pink Rose Dinner
Bartlow Village Association held a fund raising dinner at The Three Hills Public House on Friday 26th February in order to raise funds for the Breast Unit at Addenbrooke’s. The profits from ticket sales and income from a raffle, together with donations from people unable to attend the event, totalled £405. The Three Hills provided an excellent meal and the evening was enjoyed by one and all. As an extra fund raiser, Cathy has kindly offered to sell cards she has made with some of her wonderful photographs of roses. Please contact her if you wish to purchase any and all proceeds again will go to the Breast Unit.
Thank you to Ernie for organising another successful Bartlow event. There were 23 entries in all and the winners are 1st Christine Ogilvy; 2nd Graham Howat; 3rd Pat Fairey. £87 was raised which will be matched pound for pound and will be sent out to primary school children in Burma. Thank you also Three Hills for hosting us yet again. The event was well attended with some enthusiastic tasters. Thanks also to Mollie and Hannah for their discerning palates. How many entries can we get next year?

Bartlow history - new find
When the vestry was cleared out recently, a document written in 1932 by the Revd C G Brocklebank, entitled The History of the Bartlow Hills, was discovered. This was a presentation given by the Revd Brocklebank to the Cambs and Hunts Archaeological Society in May 1932 and details the various excavations made in the three hills and describes other Roman finds in the vicinity. The document has been reproduced and is now included in Bartlow History.
