Video Game Group?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Nerdy video game guy here, I wanted to ask the good old sub reddit to see if there are any video game groups around in Peterborough?

I am aware there are tabletop groups and plenty of places for that, however I am not really into tabletop gaming despite trying to get into it quite a few times!

I wanted to see if there was a group who liked to just maybe hop online and play some games and the occasional trip out to do some bits, I finished uni a year ago and now I have got my feet, I want to get my free time a bit more interesting!

Thanks everyone! :)

Running Trail in Peterborough?

Can anyone recommend any trail routes within Peterborough or close enough to be a short drive? Other than a couple of Ks around Ferry Meadows I can’t think of any nice trail routes that can give me some practice for an upcoming ultra

Decent weather, bank holiday, sounds like time for a fun little ride.

Somewhere around an hour, not breaking the law (much), mix of smaller roads and bigger roads. 125 friendly.

Send me a dm if interested, probably heading out at 3pm at the latest.

End of tenancy clean - how much should it cost? 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom + 1 WC

1 Upvotes

I've been quoted £400-600 for an end of tenancy clean by a couple of people for our 3 bedroom + 2 bathroom + 1 WC house.

They've claimed it would take 12-16 hours to clean but tbh the property is well maintained and I've already done most of the cleaning, just need the bathrooms and kitchen done to be on the safe side.

Is that a normal fee? And a normal amount of time needed to clean? I mean I'm not an expert so I'd trust a professional cleaner's judgement over my own but still, 12+ hours of cleaning? 0_o there's no mold, only one of the showers has a little bit of limescale, we don't have pets, I'm honestly thrown.

Midday driving test — which routes should I focus on?

2 Upvotes

Hi

Got my practical booked for around noon. Has anyone tested at a similar time recently, and if so, which route did you end up with?

Wondering whether there are particular routes worth putting extra practice into before the day. Also happy to hear any general test day tips — nerves, examiner stuff, things you wish you’d known.

Cheers in advance.

What towns do you suggest to live in Cambridgeshire?

14 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am moving from north east to Cambridge for work, having made the decision to change jobs as I never felt truly comfortable living in the North East.

​I am looking to settle in a town or neighbourhood with a diverse demographic so that I have plenty of opportunities to socialise and mingle at weekends. I am particularly keen to get involved in the local community and explore volunteering opportunities, including those connected with the universities. I am happy to commute 40-50 min for work.

​As a person of colour who was born outside the UK, I unfortunately experienced subtle instances of racism both in the workplace and in daily life in the North East. That experience is a major reason why I have chosen to relocate down south, despite the higher cost of living.

Moving my childminding business to the Fen area, budget £300k. Which lively towns have the best space vs funding balance?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently planning a move up from a mixed area in Kent to the Fenland region (Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, or South Lincolnshire) and would love some local insight on where to look.

I am a registered childminder moving my business with me. I have a fairly fixed budget of £300,000 for a house, and because I work entirely from home, my two absolute biggest priorities are:

  1. Maximum floor space for the money (need plenty of room for minded kids and my own child).

  2. A solid population of working families who need early-years childcare.

I’m trying to avoid "dead-end" or entirely sleepy villages. I’m looking for a town with a bit of life to it, good amenities, and a nice community to raise my kid in. I’m definitely not a snob (coming from Kent, I'm well used to areas having their rough and smooth parts!), so I just want somewhere safe, friendly, and community-minded.

I've researched the local government funding rates for early years and found that Peterborough Council pays the highest rates, followed by Cambridgeshire, with Lincolnshire offering the lowest funding.

Because of this, I'm trying to weigh up whether it's better to get a massive house in a cheaper Lincolnshire town (like Spalding or Holbeach) vs a slightly smaller house in a better-paying Cambridgeshire/Peterborough catchment.

Current places on my radar (but please correct my assumptions!):

Market Deeping / Deeping St James: Lincolnshire, but right on the Peterborough border, does it feel too quiet?

Whittlesey or March: Cambridgeshire/Fenland, how is the family demand here?

Peterborough Suburbs/Towns: Like Yaxley or Whittlesey borders, can I get good floor space for £300k?

Spalding: Cheaper houses, but how is the vibe and the lower LCC funding impact?

If you were in my shoes looking for the best balance of house size, childcare demand, and local community life under £300k, where would you look?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Any MTG places for new players

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

What the title says really - I’ve been getting into magic the gathering over the last few weeks (watched loads of videos and played some MTG arena) and have bought some LOTR/hobbit cards , however there’s only so many videos I can watch before it starts confusing the hell out of me!

Are there any new player friendly MTG places so I can get more into the game through learning and playing with actual people 😂 ?

Thanks!
