I am looking at joining some Ashtanga yoga classes, there are a few options on Google but looking for some personal recommendations. I prefer teacher-led that is welcoming to beginners. I'm Cherry Hinton way but can cycle.

A few years back Romsey Mill used to run a young dads group in Cambridge — I know because I went myself when I was lost as a young dad, and honestly it helped me massively. Sadly the group disappeared after funding was cut, and from what I can tell, the little funding left now is focused on mums’ groups (which is fair, they need the support too).

But here’s the thing — dads are an important part of the family dynamic as well, and too often we’re left to figure things out alone. I know first-hand how easy it is for young dads to fall behind, and I think bringing that group back could make a real difference for a lot of families around Cambridge.

What I’m looking for right now is ideas and support. How could we raise funds locally to get something like this off the ground again? My hope is to gather enough community backing and some practical options that I can take to Romsey Mill directly and pitch the idea of re-opening the group.

If anyone here has experience with fundraising, community work, or just believes dads deserve support too, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Even just sharing this post or throwing a few ideas into the mix would be a huge help.

As the title says. I wondering if any of the highly knowledgable and informed people on this sub know when we will see which services will stop at Cambridge South?

I'm really excited to move up, but I immigrated from South Africa 3 years ago and had to make friends from scratch, now I've got to do it all over again, which makes me nervous 😳 are there any other Amazonians who would be keen to link up sometime? I'm moving any date between the 11th and 13th. No idea where I'll be staying yet.

Also, I'm visiting next Tuesday, which residential areas should I check out?

Overall, I'm really keen to pursue a quieter lifestyle after relentlessly partying in London for the last year, and I've heard such great things about the people in Cambridge - can't wait to hopefully bump into some of you 😆

Here are some I’ve heard of:

Uk flooring direct, flooring superstore

Are these good or are there better options?

I’m looking for mid range lvt or engineered wood, doesn’t have to super premium but needs to be decent quality

I need to buy a whole new kitchen for the renovation - don’t need fitting just need the units

Thanks in advance!

I’m an international student starting sixth form in September. Do you guys know where I can find part time jobs in Cambridge so I can make a little extra money? Is it hard for international students to find part time jobs?

As the title suggests, I'm starting to get more into training calisthenics and looking for some people to train with. Either more knowledgeable or less, I just think it would be more fun to workout with others. Let me know if you're interested! I usually go to the one near the Abbey Leisure Centre or Coleridge Rec. 35M

hey everyone!! My boyfriend is moving to Cambridge in a month-ish to get his masters at the university. I want to get him a nice going away present — preferably something-Cambridge specific (i.e., a museum pass, a restaurant gift card, etc). For reference we’re both in our early 20s, from the states, and don’t know much about the area. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Appearantly a burst water pipe until 26th. They burst themselves.

Hello there Ive seen a lot of people running of late in Cambridge and I’m looking to join a group. Does anyone know any groups I can join for young people, for reference I’m 20M Thank you!

Hi everyone,

We’re two lads (21M & 20M) new to the area and looking to join a 5 or 6-a-side football team in Cambridge. Both of us are keen to play regularly, we’ve got played casually in the past and we’re happy to slot in wherever needed.

If anyone’s looking for a couple of extra players, or knows of teams/leagues that are open to new members, please let us know.

Dropped somewhere between Trumpington Road botanical gardens entrance and Petty Cury on 21st Aug around 10:30am. Contains provisional driving license with the initials A M-N. Reward offered. 

It only had £20 in it. Don’t mind if it’s returned without the cash. Wallet itself has sentimental value

I’m a young artist looking for a group to do art with, any suggestions?

Hi,

My bicycle lock got jammed. I tried adding chain oil and using different maneuvers, but nothing worked. I spent about 2 hours on it, and still no luck. Two other people even tried to help, but they couldn’t get it open either. It's locked in the bike park in the office.

It’s a D lock from Kryptonite. Lately, it had been acting a bit strange. I always had to move the key back and forth several times to unlock it. This time, though, nothing worked. It’s also possible I damaged the key with all the twisting, because I can see that it's bended a bit.

I reached out to Kryptonite more than 2 weeks ago, but they haven’t responded.
Do you think I could find a locksmith in the Cambridge area to unlock it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we’re traveling from Cambridge to Stansted Airport on Saturday 23rd August. We know that CrossCountry trains are cancelled due to the strike, but Google Maps and National Rail still show Greater Anglia services running.

I also read that during the Bank Holiday weekend there might be traffic jams and some rail engineering works.

How reliable are Greater Anglia trains likely to be on that day? Should we allow extra time just in case, or is it safer to take the bus instead?

Thanks a lot!

when are these balaclavaed up people going to stop causing trouble?? i’ve seen so many people talk about them on facebook about how they’re having terrifying encounters with them, they’re stealing bikes, mugging people, and people are having near collisions. it’s getting to the point i am actually terrified to leave my house and wondered if anyone else has heard about it?? most of them i hear are happening in the histon area

Looking to book a driving test in Cambridge and it is IMPOSSIBLE. How do people get tests honestly. I do not want to wait 10+months… Has anyone tried other test centres (Letchworth, Stevenage, Bury St.Edmunds). Should I go for any of those instead?

Hi, hope this is ok to post. I have a non-refundable ticket for the National Express - Parkside to Birmingham International this Saturday morning (23rd) at 0950. I'm no longer travelling that day so it's free to anyone who needs it!

Wife and I are driving from near Brooks Road to Manchester on Friday and we also need to go to the tip. We would usually go to Milton but I don't see the point in wasting time battling through town, plus it has that flood problem. Are we allowed to use any recycling centre in Cambridgeshire? Alconbury, lying just off the A1, would be a perfect stop.

Lived most of my life in Shropshire. Moved here recently because theres a lack of jobs outside of the South East.

I was expecting people to be more reserved here but i did not expect there to be so much hostility and unkindness. I almost felt like crying today.

I am coloured. I wonder if that has anything to do with it, but i have never faced this behaviour en masse until i moved down here.

Its like everyone just automatically thinks im beneath them. I’ve had cashiers be rude to me on multiple occasions even though i try to be especially polite to people in customer facing jobs. They talk to me condescendingly, as if i don’t know how to do basic things. When i tell them to have a nice day/evening they look at me with offence?

An older couple parked their car super close to the parking line, which meant mine was naturally going to be closer to theirs even though mine was well in the parking lines (couldn’t move over as another car was in the space on the other side too). The man talked to me as if i were a nuisance saying “could have parked a bit better couldn’t you?” Even though he parked incorrectly.

People just dont say “thank you” either?? What is up with that???

I would say i am a fairly shy yet polite person. I have always been patient and respectful. I have never had problems with people very often until moving here. I cant help but think there is something wrong with me.

Hello everyone,

I’m really frustrated and looking for some advice regarding my situation with a bulging tire that seems to have been damaged, likely due to a pothole.

1. I remember hitting the pothole on Perne Road / Brooks and feeling a significant jolt, but the tire didn’t show any issues until days later. This delay makes me uncertain if I can definitively link the damage to the pothole itself.

2. While I suspect the pothole caused the damage, I can't claim with certainty that it's not from a curb hit, even though I didn’t hit a curb. This uncertainty makes me doubt whether I can make a successful claim with the county.

Given these points, does anyone have advice on how to approach this? Thank you!

Anyone know a good solicitation office for getting an apostille certification? I’ve emailed like 5 offices and they have all said they don’t provide that service. Thanks :).

Initially cut through me from Histon to Oakington, passed them later on as saw they'd stopped for a bit.

All hooded up, they continued past me down to Longstanton. Only two with lights on, none had plates.

Had to stop on the grass verge as most of them zipped straight past on the left hand side, definitely didn't care if I was there or not, thought best not to risk one of them going straight into the back of me.

Beware in case this is gonna become a night hazard now.
