On 5 Live this morning - do we want kids in pubs?

That's the debate - so we called in... to say how much we love the pub and the way Jools makes the family welcome.

Exciting day - do i sound like that?

BBC radio ran our piece today - listen to us here - on listen again, go one hour and 11 minutes in! They did mention figures - which we've not - but apart from that it was a fantastic package.

And Jools had a surprise - well two - today. One was two ladies turning up to have coffee (the cafe's not open on Mon and Friday during the school holidays) 'well the wireless SAID you were open..' - she made them both a pot of tea.

And this - from her own words: A lovely moment ...a gentleman called into the pub this morning and said "I've done something terrible and I need to clear my conscience, back in 1952, I had my de-mob party in this pub, whilst serving in the RAF, and I stole a lightbulb from outside!!" with that he promptly produced a brand-new boxed light bulb and gave... it to me!!!!!!!! doesn't that restore your faith in humanity!

So our campaign is having a great effect! Let's hope it has the desired effect and Jools can stay in the pub.

Comments welcome by the way...

We need your help!

The Waterbeach White Horse is the pub at the hub of our community. We need to let Greene King know how much we value our landlady - Julia Lemin (Jools) - and how much we feel she gives to the village and the groups in the village.

Please post comments about how you feel the pub is useful to you and your community/groups. All stories/comments welcome!

We have four weeks....
