There is very little parking in the centre of Cambridge and what there is, is expensive!
Those travelling from out of the city are advised to use one of the 5 park and ride sites.
These are situated on Milton Rd, Madingley Road, Trumpington Rd, Newmarket Road and Babraham Road.
Buses run every 10 – 15 minutes and stop directly outside Emmanuel College.

I went along to Barrie's funeral yesterday and can report that it was a fitting tribute to a great man. Emmanuel College Chapel in Cambridge was packed to overflowing and the event was attended by a wonderful mix of his academic and angling friends. His achievements were such that it is amazing how he fitted it all in. I'm sure many of his work friends were not aware how influential he was in angling circles and vice versa. He will be greatly missed.

I am pleased it went well Trev. It must have been a very sad occasion for you with working at the university as well as the fishing.
I see that this is only your second post so you must have just joined. Welcome to FM. I am sure you will like the site. If you want to activate the PM feature on your profile it would be good to keep in touch. I use this facility to keep in touch with people, as does John H, and it is very useful.

I, too, attended. Des Taylor's words were very good and most appropriately very funny at one stage. Well done, Des.
