Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

HB, - standing around in the cold for a couple hours and organising us like you did can be surprisingly tiring. Hope you recover soon.

We took £160 in entrance fees. Track hire was £80. Rather than going to Rich's Doughnut Fund, where would you prefer the money went? There are links to each charity's website below.

I'm going to run a poll on Facebook for those who aren't Fetchies. Both will close on Thursday 29th December at 12:00pm. I'll combine the results from both polls and announce the results shortly after that.

The Arthur Rank Hospice. arhc.org.uk My uncle recently died in the same hospice in Edinburgh where my mum died years ago. I've made my own donation there in their memory. Hospices are brilliant, caring places. The Arthur Rank Hospice is the one nearest to me.

BEAT Eating Disorders. beateatingdisorders.org.uk I lost a very dear and funny friend to her eating disorder. Living with one is never easy. Living with one when the world seems to be all about eating and drinking is particularly hard.

Blue Cross. bluecross.org.uk Our well-beloved Madeleine died at the beginning of December. We are fortunate enough to afford insurance for her and to pay for the things the insurance didn't cover. Not everyone is, hence the need for Blue Cross.

CPSL Mind cpslmind.org.uk The local branch of Mind for Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire.

Head to Toe. cpft.nhs.uk This supports the work of the CPFT, the NHS Trust that runs Fulbourn Hospital and others in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The trust is also host Fulbourn Hospital parkrun.

Rich it doesn’t help you but I’d gladly donate to any of the four or split between them

About This Thread

Okay, here it is. Again. And again. And yet again. And once more. And this time with feeling. And this time in the summer which probably means it's going to piss it down. And now again at Christmas. And this time not even in East Anglia, really (which is probably just as well). And back in Cambridge with bells on. And this time it's a bit Disnae. Yet again, eighth time for luck. Like Tokyo 2020, Jingle Mile 2020 has been postponed to 2021 but we can't afford a rebrand. Instead there is a Virtual Jingle Mile. Make up your own swears. And back for a Not The Jingle Mile 2020 In 2021 thanks to Hells Bells. The Jingle Mile 2020 is happening in 2022, thanks to the magic of television. (It's not the magic of television.)

Saturday 3 December 2022
12:00pm - 2:00pm

Cost £5.00

Directions to the track:

DON'T ENTER WILBERFORCE ROAD FROM MADINGLEY ROAD!

It's blocked off about a hundred yards down.

From M11 - Exit at J12 (A603, Sandy & Cambridge), follow the A603 along Barton Road to Grange Road on your left. Up Grange Road to Adams Road on your left. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Eastbound - Exit at J31. Follow A1307 Huntingdon Road towards Cambridge city centre. Follow signs for A1134 Ring Road and turn right onto Mount Pleasant and follow the one-way system down onto Madingley Road. Turn right onto Madingley Road, first left onto Grange Road, and second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A428 Eastbound - Exit for Cambridge and American Cemetary. Follow the signs for Cambridge city centre past the American Cemetary, across the M11 bridge, Churchill College on your left until you reach Grange Road where you turn right. Take the second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Westbound - Exit at J31 onto the M11 Southbound and follow the directions above.

For anyone who is coming by train, there is now a bus service U from the railway station to Robinson College, Grange Road, which leaves a half mile walk along Adams Road to the Wilberforce Road University Track.

You could also walk from the station. It's a couple of miles. Head out of the station and onto Station Road, right onto Hills Road then follow that all the way into the city centre to Petty Cury. Turn left there and go down onto the Market Square. Cross the square diagonally then bear down the side of Great St Mary's. Turn right at the end then immediately left down Senate House Passage. Follow Trinity Lane round to the right and then left onto Garrett Hostel Lane. Over the bridge then straight on over Queens Road and up Burrell's Walk. Bear right at the end and up onto Adams Road. The track is at the end of Adams Road.

Swimmers and paratroopers, you're on your own. Weirdos.
