Issue 28 May 2013

Welcome…

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Echo.

New recruit Bob has been waving his

ad sales wand over Earith and surrounding

villages and the pages have been snapped up by existing and new advertisers alike.

Now, I like Bob, but there is

traditionally a divide between editorial and advertising in publishing; an us and them

thing you might say. So, as good as it is to see more advertising in the magazine, I

can’t help feel that we editorial folk have become somewhat overshadowed.

So let’s show Bob he can’t have it all his

own way. Let’s rally the troops. Let’s fill the pages with news, articles, reminiscences,

photographs old and new and let’s make

the Echo a magazine to be reckoned with.

Bob, the gloves are officially off. Bring

Earith W.I. Earith W.I. is going from strength to strength. It has increased its

membership this year to 38. It has had seven new ladies join and lost three due to ill health and moving from the area.

So far this year it has had an excellent murder mystery evening acted

out by the Players of Earith which was so convincing that the trainee sleuths got it all wrong! It also hosted the Orchard Group meeting which includes

the W.I.s of Bluntisham, Holywell cum Needingworth, and Somersham and was entertained by the brilliant ventriloquist and entertainer Chris Bylett.

In April it hosted Mike Petty from the Cambridge Evening News who

gave a talk about the local area.

There are many more interesting things to come including a BBQ,

strawberry tea, a Christmas trip to Wicksteed Park and a trip to the Maritime Museum in September.

The W.I meets at 7.30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month in the

Village Hall, with the exception of August. If you would like to join please do not hesitate to contact one of the committee. Ages range from 30 upwards

and you can be assured of a warm welcome from the very friendly bunch of ladies. Give it a try, you don’t have to join but you may find it addictive! You will of course get the obligatory tea and biscuits.

echo 28 ¦ The Old Riverview Hotel

Tales from the riverbank Jayne Parris and Graham Sizer have taken over what must have been a

mammoth task ‒ The Old Riverview Hotel. Linda Sturrock spoke to Jayne

recently and asked her many questions, as she was so interested in what their plans were as I know the people of Earith were also. So let s hear from Jayne: Well, here we are in Earith, and what a fabulous welcome we have had

from all the people we have met in the village! We moved into the Riverview on 6th December after a whirlwind year looking for the right business/property for us. Initially we were just looking for a bed and breakfast, where we could take life a little easier, after years of rushing around in our different careers.

Graham had been a farmer all his life, inheriting his father s potato,

rapeseed and wheat farm with his brother in Redmere, Ely. However, like a lot of us in life, there comes a time when you ask yourself, is there anything else out

there for me? With some of the rented land from the farm finishing its contract, it seemed an ideal time for Graham to hand over the reins of the family farm

before

after

fully to his brother and nephew and start something new.

As well as bringing up her twin daughters alone for some time, Jayne had

been writing exam papers for an English as a Foreign Language examination

syndicate, teaching foreigners English and, in later years, trying her hand as a

technical author. She was looking for a lifestyle that would allow her to be home for her children when they returned from school.

Having met in Ely, together, we soon started to discuss our hopes and

the idea for a bed and breakfast was born We travelled East Anglia for the right premises and found one in Norwich, which seemed to tick the boxes we had set out for ourselves. Just two weeks before we were to move the deal fell through and we found ourselves back to the drawing board.

Panic set in. Having sold our home, we started to trawl the Internet for

inspiration and there was the Riverview! With Graham in the middle of harvest, working from six in the morning until well after dark, it was left to my mum and I to make the appointment to view. As soon as we walked in the door,

I knew it was the place for us, not as a pub, but as tea rooms and a bed and

breakfast. We were shown round by the temporary landlord. Each room we

The Old Riverview Hotel | echo 28 visited was screaming out to be restored to its former glory, desperate for some TLC.

‘That evening, returning home from a full day on the farm, Graham was

bombarded with the potential of the Riverview! Although he was covered in

mud from head to foot, we jumped in the car and drove over to Earith. John,

the landlord, kindly showed us around the property well into the evening and we both fell in love with the place!

‘Once the financial deal was done we started to map out our plan for

the former inn. With a good pub already in Earith, there was no need to add another. I have always loved cooking; as a teenager I had helped out in the kitchen of a small hotel in the New Forest. I loved working with food from

producing cream teas to preparing meals and buffets for weddings. It was a

great experience and gave me a hankering for my own little project, so, here we are creating the new Old Riverview Country Kitchen and Tea Rooms!

‘The project of rebuilding this beautiful village building has, of course,

been challenging. It has, however, been exciting and pleasing to bring it

back to its full potential. Every piece of piping and wiring has been taken out, uncovering some extremely creative plumbing and electrical work from the

past! We have often stood back and marvelled at how everyone had survived their stay in the bedrooms, with dripping copper joints and bare wires. It is remarkable that no one had experienced a shock they hadn’t banked on!

‘Another concerning discovery was the lack of support for the floor joists.

Where the walls had moved so far forward from the roof, the floor joists had

nothing holding them up at all! We employed a structural engineer who worked out the loads and a steel RSJ was inserted to keep the floors safe, avoiding any guests dropping into the tea rooms below!

‘Graham and I have been hands-on all the way. Graham often says ‘you’re

like a man, Jayne’ which although sometimes doesn’t feel like a compliment, does makes me feel like I am part of the team. We are not there yet, we are

fitting the windows today. That’s really exciting and we hope is the turning

point to start getting the final build work completed. We can then start putting the furniture and finishing touches to the project.

‘Our hope is to offer a place in the community for all age groups that reflects

the era of the building whilst offering a cosy and friendly venue. The food will all be home cooked country fayre. From soups to sausage rolls; from summer and winter stews to the more modern paninis; from chunky sandwiches to

homemade pizza, we hope to offer something suitable for everybody’s palette.

For sweet treats there will always be a variety of cakes and scones as well as

creamy homemade ice creams. We would like to tempt young ones into trying new foods, such as homemade chicken nuggets and, for fun, will have an adult afternoon cream tea and a children’s afternoon ice cream tea.

‘There will be two rooms for the tea rooms, the larger side for everyday

visitors and a smaller function room which can be hired for events, or used by

mums any day of the week to get together for a chat, while their children play with the toys in the toy box.

‘We also have five completely refurbished guest rooms. All of them have

modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, freeview TV, hair dryers and

tea and coffee making facilities. Each room is individually decorated, with our main

room offering a four poster bed. Our first booking has already come in for 17th May, so if you have any family who would like to visit or need a room for longer term

accommodation, we will soon be ready to open the doors for a comfortable stay.

‘Fingers crossed, we hope to open mid May(ish!). We will definitely let

everyone know the exact date and announce our open day as soon as we

can. We really look forward to welcoming everyone and hope we can really offer a place for people to enjoy!’
