Lyn of Littleport highlights some of the popular local pastimes in the town.

You can play carpet bowls at the Littleport Ex-Services and Social Club on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm. "Come and join us for a game or just watch others play," say organisers.

Also, on Thursdays at Littleport Village Hall (kept clean to perfection by the hall committee’s chair Nick Brown – a worthy successor to his dad Francis) from 7.30-9pm.

The Christmas show showcased the talent of its members to great effect.

The next big one for the club is the Thursday afternoon music club with DJ Derek on Thursday, December 18, from 2-4pm at £2 per person and a good time is always had by all.
