CONTENTS Taking a short break
It’s been a while since some of the members of Spotted in Ely took a short holiday but next week, well that is what is happening. There will be no e-magazine next week, so this week we have included 3 weeks of events instead of the normal 2 and we shall resume normal service from June 6th. Since the regeneration of this e-Magazine, we have had over 60,000 views on our website and through the Issuu app that allows online readership of many magazines. It takes several hours of everyones time to compile this on a weekly basis and we are worn out once complete but businesses in Ely can use the numbers we get to gain new clients for their business. We do not have any of the overheads of the printed publications. We did consider making a monthly printed magazine but when you think how much money, wasted paper and the delay in getting much needed information out, we decided sticking with the catch up eMagazine would be best. Have a great half term and please be sure to check the Whats On guide. We have over 150 events during the next 3 weeks.

The new Mayor of Ely The Right Worshipful Mayor to the City of Ely, Councillor Michael Rouse
42 years after Cllr Rouse took the Mayors Office, tonight he took it once again and becomes the Right Worshipful Mayor for the City of Ely. In a heart-warming speech during his Mayor Making at The Maltings, Mayor Rouse reflected on the many changes Ely has seen since he last took office in 1976. For his year in office, he will be dedicating his fund-raising efforts towards the RAF to celebrate the 100 years of the military organisations existence and once again promised to offer his Mayors Ball to raise funds for local charity, Pos+Ability. His mayoress for 2018 will be his daughter Cassie and his deputy Cllr Alison Arnold. Mayor Rouse has served on the City Council since 1974.

Ely Runners announce their next 10 week beginners course Ely Runners are pleased to announce their next 10 week beginners’ course – commencing on the 18th of June 2018. The course is run by qualified coaches and supported by established club members. It is very friendly and aimed at runners of all abilities! The aim of the programme is to gradually build on the skills, fitness and thinking required in order to complete a 5K run at the end of the course, usually at Cambridge Parkrun. There is no obligation to attend the Parkrun at the end, but in our experience, those who have, loved it! Ely Runners meet, come rain or shine, at the Paradise Sports Centre for 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 9am on Sundays. Tuesday sessions consists of hill training, speed work, repetitions and intervals. Thursday training is usually a longer steady run around the City and surrounding countryside. Sundays is often a longer run in the countryside. If you’re not sure where to start, come and train with us and see what you think.
“I heard about the beginners’ running course via Spotted in Ely, I asked people about this sort of course and the resounding response was how fantastic Ely Runners is! I decided to apply for the course as I have tried to run for about a year now, starting with Race for Life and I have gone from there, but I didn’t seem to be running right. I couldn’t ever manage to run for more than five minutes without having to walk. The course seemed the right fit. I’m a nervous person, that first day walking up the stairs I was terrified, but I was met at the top by the friendliest and most welcoming group of people I think I’ve ever met. We were all in the same boat and feeling nervous. Charlotte explained the course overall and what to expect etc and all the other coaches helped to put our minds at ease.
We are always up for people coming and joining us for a couple of sessions free of charge. The club has a healthy membership, is active and present at many races and athletic events at various levels, and has a well looked after juniors’ section. The beginners’ course starting on the 18th June 2018 will last for ten weeks, meeting at the Paradise Centre (Ely) on Monday evenings (7pm). It costs £20 in total, with this being deducted from full club membership should participants wish to join at a later date. For more information contact Justin at justin@elyrunners. co.uk https://www.facebook.com/elyrunners A few words from Lisa, a participant of our most recent course!
I feel I have learned to run! I’ve learned techniques for combating the ‘hard parts’ of running (hills, and how to ease up without walking on a run) and so much more. Every single coach I have meet through the course has been supportive and kind. They are all so passionate about running you can’t help but feel the same way. It was great to complete the

Ely Runners announce their next 10 week beginners course (continued) course with people in a similar situation to me and see how we all progressed. Even as beginners we all had different levels of fitness and running ability but this was easily accommodated within the course because of the number of coaches. The sessions were hard, but how are we ever going to improve without pushing ourselves? I drove away from the course every Monday with a smile. I had worked hard, but been supported and encouraged throughout each session, and I knew I was improving. Completing the course has helped me to knock minutes off my 5km time, it’s taught me to run correctly and introduced me to an amazing bunch of people who I hope to run/ train with again soon as a club member. I can’t thank the coaches enough for this course and can’t recommend it enough. Thinking about doing it? Don’t hesitate you will NOT regret it.” A few words from Tracy, another recent course participant: “It is very relaxed, you feel comfortable straight away with all of the coaches. I have felt supported throughout the course and so motivated. I got to see that I can push myself a lot harder, I have learnt new techniques. The coaches are amazing, supportive but not in your face, they get you to do your best but do not put you under pressure. I have made new friends and will hopefully be running with them once I have signed up. I have definitely improved!!! I am now working on a 10k and I have signed up for a half marathon in September”

Action on Addiction Raising Awareness Ely based branding company, Soopa Doopa’s Jake Scott-Paul and friend Matt Lucas recently undertook the Obstacle Course “Rush” put on by Nuclear Races. While putting themselves through the mill with over 52 obstacles and 7km of running, they thought it would be a great idea to raise money for the charity Action on Addiction. This cause is particularly close to the heart of Jake Scott-Paul who is coming up to two years free from alcoholism. The course had every obstacle you could imagine from hang tough, mud baths and swimming, to zip lines, tunnel crawls and death slides. To top is off there was a total 7km of running, while covered head to toe in mud! The pair raised over £800 for this great cause and Soopa Doopa kitted them out so they could be easily spotted in their hot pink tops. Jake said that “while we are doing this for a bit of fun, we felt it was a great opportunity to raise awareness around addiction, that affects so many people. It shows that recovery is possible” To read Jakes journey in full or make a donation to such a worthy cause please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jake-scott-paul Pictured below the pair at the “survivors” finishing podium with Jake on the left and Matt on the right.

Watching Harry and Meghan ride by was the "icing on the wedding cake" for Ely mum Tali Iserles tali@spottedinely.com
Ely mum of two Angii Smith has been a massive fan of Prince Harry for many years. So when he announced his engagement to Meghan Markle, she decided that being a part of the wedding welcome crowd was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Angii told Spotted in Ey: “As soon as the date was announced, I decided I wanted to go. I knew from the start it wasn’t going to be like all the other royal weddings because of who Harry and Meghan are.”
great to see them travel. One of them has already been found and posted from Windsor!” After hiding rocks of art, the three got to Windsor by 5.30am and immediately found a car park, to Angii’s surprise.
She and her sons, Caiden, nine, and Finley, seven, set off for Windsor just after 3am on Saturday, stopping to drop some wedding themed rocks near Ely Cathedral before their departure. “Every Royal wedding needs some commemorative items and as we are a family of rockers, it seemed only fitting to do some wedding themed rocks! “We took a few to hide in Windsor and have hidden some in Ely. We expect them to be kept but it would be

“We arrived at The Long Walk and although it was already busy, we found a great spot in front of a big screen (and toilets behind!). There was only one row of people in front of us at the barrier, who had slept there
Spotted in Ely Magazine all evening. One lady was a grand age of 78 – she was much braver than I will ever be!” The three made themselves at home on their Union Jack rug, enjoying strawberries and cream for breakfast. “Before it got too busy we decided to head into central Windsor for a look around and to hide some of our wedding themed rocks. The streets were packed but the atmosphere was electric. “There were an incredible amount of event staff and police on the streets, so we felt very safe. My son was a little afraid of the armed police, but they took the time to have a chat with him and put him at ease.”
A firm Royalist, Angii says she doesn’t have a favourite but the Queen has done “an amazing job and done our country proud”. The Crown – partly filmed at Ely Cathedral – had given people a fascinating insight into modern royal life behind the scenes, Angii said. “Harry is so down to earth, he’s a credit to his mother and very much like her. He’s very much a royal of the common people!” Harry and Meghan’s wedding day will hold special memories for Angii and her sons for years to come. “It will probably be the only royal wedding in my lifetime that I will go to with my children. It was amazing to think we were there being a little part of history in the making.”
Describing the day as “amazing from start to finish”, Angii said there was camaraderie among the well-wishers, with spectators exchanging items and chatting to those nearby. “It was quite emotional watching the wedding on the big screen and to hear the crowds singing along to Stand By Me by the gospel choir during the service. “Being so close to the carriage with the newlyweds passing by was the icing on the wedding cake!” The day had a carnival atmosphere, with lots of quirky moments, she said. “There were people in head to toe union flag attire, men in wedding dresses, people dressed as if they were going to the actual wedding, it was fabulous!” Hearing that Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs was at the Radio 2 stand in Alexander Gardens, the three decided to wander over. “We are big fans and the boys hadn’t met him before so we went over and had a chat with him and had some pictures.”

King’s Ely Acremont Nursery children take Mapia the orphan under their wing Children and staff at King’s Ely Acremont Nursery have become the proud ‘adopters’ of a baby elephant called Mapia. Mapia, who is named after the place where he was found in Tsavo, Kenya, had to be rescued by helicopter after he became orphaned in the recent drought. He is now being cared for by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which is a conservation partner of the Tsavo Conservation Group, and is making good progress. The founders of the Tsavo Conservation Group are Ian and Tanya Saunders, whose two daughters attend King’s Ely Acremont Nursery. Ian and Tanya have ‘adopted’ Mapia on behalf of the Nursery as a gift to the children and staff. On May 11th, Tanya visited the children to talk to them about Mapia and to share some fascinating facts about elephants with them, including how many bottles of milk a baby elephant needs every day in order to grow big and strong. Tanya also helped to teach the children how important it is to be kind to animals of all shapes and sizes. Tanya said: “I grew up in the Tsavo National Park in Kenya, with elephants literally on my doorstep. Being surrounded by
Page 14
nature from such an early age has shaped the way I live my life and think about the world. My husband and I founded the Tsavo Conservation Group with the aim of helping to create areas where people and wildlife can co-exist in a mutually beneficial environment, because at the end of the day if the people who live alongside wildlife do not see any value in it, then wildlife has no chance of survival. It was a pleasure to be able to share some of my love for elephants and other animals with the Nursery children.” Head of Early Years Foundation Stage at King’s Ely Acremont Nursery, Anna Ballanger, said: “The children have been learning about different animals around the world this term, and are thrilled to be a part of helping to look after our own baby elephant. We will be following his progress each month with great interest, and look forward to receiving our monthly updates on how he is doing.” King’s Ely’s Principal, Sue Freestone, is cochair of the UK branch of the Tsavo Conservation Group.
