All change after 53 years
After 53 years trading as a family business, Drome Garage changes owners on the 1st
June. Geoff and Derek Angell took over the business in 1973 from their father and
have decided it is now time to retire and have passed the business on to Chris Nolan.
Chris, who comes from just outside Stanstead, has many years experience in the motor
trade and is keeping the same staff at the garage who have served the customers so
well over many years in business.
Geoff and Derek plan to spend their time travelling and on their boats on the Norfolk
Broads, though they will certainly look in from time to time to see that all is well.
Derek and Geoff offer their thanks all their past customers for their business.

2nd Watton (RAF) Brownies
Simulating An Air Raid Shelter
This year we are celebrating 100 years of
Brownies. The Big Brownie Birthday Challenge
is made up of 57 activities, themed around the
event of 21 of the last 100 years. The brownies
have to choose six activities from a list that will
gain them a badge at the end. The brownies
decided which years they wanted to work on
and we choose the following years 1917, 1918,
1927, 1939, 1984, 2010.
Some of the years we have already completed. At
our meeting on Thursday May 8th, we choose the
year 1939. The Leaders talked to the girls about
the war and the girls found it thoroughly
interesting. We also told them about evacuees and
how it was worked out, saying that children went
to the country, and they would stay with families
for maybe a year or two.
We had a tent set up as a mock air raid shelter in
our hall, to give the girls an experience of what
it was like during a blackout. They knew that
they had to go into it when a air raid siren went
off for their protection. The girls enjoyed their
drinks and biscuits.
If your daughter should be interested in joining
brownies then you can telephone on 01953
882992. Our age group is 7-10 years old. We
have lots of fun and other interesting activities
that we do. We meet on Thursday night at the
Blenheim Centre, Tedder Close, Watton.

Herbaceous perennials were the subject of Ian
Roofe's talk at our April meeting. Ian says he has
been gardening for as long as he can remember
and went on to study horticulture at Easton
College. He has been broadcasting as part of BBC
Radio Norfolk's gardening team for the last 12
years and currently contributes to 'The Garden
Party' at midday on Saturdays.
The definition of a perennial plant is one which
puts on growth each spring/summer and returns to
the ground in winter. Most are from North
America. The herbaceous border was made
popular by owners of large country houses who
constantly strived to better their friends' and
acquaintances' gardens. The traditional border is
structured with a hedge as backdrop to the
planting scheme. Ian suggested that if there isn't
room for this in our modern gardens, then the
fence painted black provides the best background
to showcase the various colours of the border.
Again it is traditional to have the planting graded
from the tallest at the back to the shortest at the
front and often in drifts of colour. However, island
beds are now a popular alternative with the
advantage that flowers can be viewed all the way
round and they provide more scope for interesting
combinations of plants.
Ian took his audience through the gardening year
starting with renovation in spring. He advised that
all borders be lifted, divided and replanted in good
manured soil every 3 to 5 years and mulched
every year to retain moisture and restrict weeds.
Staking early before growth is well established is
also a must and Ian showed photographs of
various methods.
There was lots of information about individual
plants but Ian emphasised the need to choose
plants to suit the site. We are all guilty of buying a
plant we really want only to realise that we cannot
provide it with the growing conditions it needs.
The audience was very appreciative of a very
interesting and well delivered talk supported by
photographs of some stunning herbaceous borders.
Hopefully we can hear more from Ian in the
future.

To Grannies Everywhere

By Mini Ha! Ha!

Now listen, you guys, please stop laughing, do;
I've tried to get muddy and dirty like you,
but this week I can't, as I just had to stay
with my Ganny, at her house, whilst Mummy's away.

Now I do love my Gannyand Perkins, her cat,
but I can't go out playing or nuffing like that,
'cos she peeks out the window with sponge in her hand
and a towel at the ready, says it's a headband!

I once asked my Daddy ('cos Ganny's his Mum),
"When you were small, Daddy, and slipped on your bum,
did Ganny come rushing with bucket and cloff,
and is THAT why you and my Mummy ran off?"

"Yes, Will, my skin's white now from all of that soap,
but I try not to worry, I've just learned to cope;
but once it was suntanned, and brown as can be,
but your Granny liked washing my legs constantly".

"Now, it isn't just you, Darling, wasn't just me;
poor Poppy got some of the same treatment, see:
Once Granny yelled, "Here Charles!! Just.....
look.....at....that....car,
it's the DIRTIEST Peugeot in Wymondham - BY FAR!!"

"OH GOD!!", said your Grandad, "what does she want now?
I'll swing for that woman - a promise, I vow!"
"Now Charles, try being useful, go out and get dosh,
then nip down and buy me one Zippy car wash".

The Zippy wash boss man was sparkling like new -
all his staff also glowed with this Zippy clean hue.
"I want a new carwash, that works with her card,
a dirty great, huge thing for in the back yard".

"Mate, I think I've just spotted the one that I need;
the one by the fence, there - it's MASSIVE, indeed.
She'll love that one sitting right next to the tree
where our neighbours can see it - they don't have one, see?"

" MY GOD! Mr. Tillotson, slow down and let's
talk calmly here, please, that one's for Jumbo jets."
"I don't care!", said Tillo, "just get a grip, man;
I MUST have a HUGE one - as big as I can".

So 16 transporters turned up the next day,
and Arnica Crescent was closed, 'cept one way.
All Police leave was cancelled, choppers hovered above -
had to knock down 3 houses when push came to shove.

The head honcho glowered, fist slamming down hard,
"How's this thing going to even get IN the back yard?"
"EASY!!", said Grandad, to just please your Gran,
"You've got 4 Apaches, use THEM - silly man!!"

So it was that they started the pieces to shift,
now the day's known in Norfolk as the Wyndy Airlift.
A logistical nightmare, with precision serene,
all because of your Granny's great love to be clean.

So, the moral here, fellas, as you're small like me,
if you're going to your Ganny's, think laterally.
Don't look up at her, smiling, in some foolish hope,
rush straight to the bathroom, and BANJAX THE SOAP!!
A Quick Look
Round
By ORBITER
Well in the last month the
summer has arrived, and we even
had a fine Bank Holiday Monday
for a nice change, though just to
keep us on our toes there have
been a few really torrential
outbursts of rain since then.
And just in case one cant find a
suitable place to spend some
money, just about now the new
Tesco branch in Swaffham will be
opening its doors. There has been
much speculation as to how this
will affect the existing Waitrose
outlet, although these days having
competitors next door to each
other doesnt seem to do any
harm to their trading, as can be
seen all over the country, and
especially in Kings Lynn, where
the new Sainsburys is directly
opposite the Tesco store, which
itself has been vastly extended.
All these hundreds of Tesco
superstores all over Britain make
it hard for my wife to believe that
her memory box is in working
order, when she recalls that as a
little girl she used to be sent on
errands to the little shop round
the corner, which was run by a
Mr. Cohen, for a packet of sugar
or perhaps a tin of peas. Just a
tiny shop, with a stall outside
during the day, but one that
thrived until he opened another,
then another, and so on, and yes,
that Mr.COhen provides the CO
in the name TesCO.
It hardly seems possible, but all
the big players started in small
ways. When I was a lad
Sainsburys had a few tiny shops
that always featured one counter
full of eggs, one section for
cheeses and cold meats, next to a
large bacon slicer, while biscuits
were always served loose from
large cubical tins that lived in
front of the counter, so that the
assistant had to come all the way
round to serve the customer.
Marks & Spencer began as a
market stall somewhere up north
way back, but in the thirties they
had progressed to large stores in
many London High Streets,
always noticeable for their
practice of siting them just a few
doors from any new Woolworths
that might appear. Why this
should be always puzzled me, for
the latter group concentrated on
their trading policy of nothing
over sixpence, while Marks was
a bit more up-market.
At the time of writing there has
been a great furore in respect of
the use of what is referred to as
the n word, and this seems to be
one more example of over-
sensitivity on the part of those
who deem it their duty to find
racism at every possible
opportunity.
In about 1948, when there were
no immigration problems, the
population of this country was
about 48 million, of which
probably 45 million were over
four years old, and no doubt every
one of those knew the rhyme
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo.,
but I guarantee that not one of
them had any racist thoughts
when they recited it.
The same applies to the Gollies
that adorned the marmalade jars.
No one ever had racist thoughts
about them, they were just a
pleasant decoration, but these
days hidden agendas are
perceived in all ways of life.
Maybe those who think that way
are closet racists themselves !
But different times bring different
reactions to quite ordinary words.
I recall that in 1938 I went to see
the film Pygmalion, in which
Wendy Hiller in her role of Eliza
Doolittle had to say the words
Not bloody likely. To say that
the audience was shocked would
be an understatement. There was
a moment of silence, then a
prolonged period of noise that
drowned out the next part of the
film for a minute or so. Yet this
word had been heard almost daily
on the tongues of workmen in the
course of their duties, but because
it appeared in a film it caused an
uproar.
A somewhat similar sensation
came ten years later, when in a
film called The Outlaw, the
camera showed a glimpse down
Jane Russells ample cleavage.
This treat lasted all of four
seconds, yet folks queued for
hours round every cinema just to
see it, when it was actually
nothing special, but on film,
which in those days didnt
normally happen, it caused chaos.
How things have changed !
Out in the real world of today
(though perhaps that should be the
Unreal world) we continue to find
things that just do not make sense.
Case after case has been reported
where women (some men too)
have been found guilty of
obtaining thousands of pounds in
benefit frauds, yet their sentences
have all been suspended, with
perhaps twenty hours community
service substituted. In other words
they have got off scot free. So
bringing them to trial is just a
costly waste of time.
Yes, if they went to prison that
would cost the taxpayer money,
but at least there would be a
deterrent to discourage other
would-be offenders.
And there are the cases where
immigrant criminals are found
guilty and banished to their own
countries, but plead that their
Human Rights would be
infringed, and so are allowed to
remain to live, unpunished, at our
expense.
What about our Human Rights ?
Do they not count ?
Quite a battle seems to be raging
within all parties of our
government over the way
education should be taken
forward into the future. It seems
that the only thing they can agree
on is that the whole system
threatens to become a
shambles, with no two sides
able to agree on any policies.
One proposal is that some
sort of schooling should start
at the age of two. Some
children can hardly walk at
that age !
Though Im hardly an expert
it does seem to me that all the
troubles started thirty or so
years ago, when it was
decided to improve what
was already a tried and
trusted system, the first
change being the abolishment
of the learning of times tables
by rote. The old way of
singing them two twos are
four, three twos are six, four
twos are eight, and so on, to
my mind could not be
bettered. It may have been a
bit boring at the time, but I
know that even today any
simple calculation comes
automatically to my mind.
(Well, up to the twelve times
ones). So why change a
winning hand, as they say ?
And the latest health
pronouncement - people who
dont sunbathe are more
likely to develop skin
cancers, than those who do.
What are they like ?
Good afternoon.

In Your
Garden
With Lotta Potts
They used to call this month
'flaming June'. We can only hope
as mid-May turned into a bit of a
washout, and did you see that
hailstorm? We had hailstones in a
clump in the gutter that lasted for
hours. Thanks but no thanks on
that one for June. The upside has
been that whilst very wet early-
mid May was quite mild so that
plants almost grew while you
watched.
There are two ways at looking at
June. Three if you are going on
holiday. The tasks can be kept to a
minimum and the garden enjoyed
by sitting in the shade or you can
be sowing and propagating and
digging things up. Or you can go
away and forget all about it for a
few days. If so, make sure the
plants you have are looked after
by a friend or neighbour and do
the same for them when they go
away.
I think ideally a combination of
sitting in the shade and doing a bit
of other tasks is enjoyable. There
are one or two essentials. Keep
cutting the grass. Dead head
flowering plants to keep them
going as long as possible. This
applies to F1 hybrids that don't
produce seed as well as the ones
that do. All plants think that once
they have had their flowers
pollinated and seed is on the way
their job is done so they stop. The
most obvious example of this is
the sweet pea. Let them form their
seed pods and you won't see
another flower for ages and then
only after you remove every seed
pod and every flower. Then they
wake up to the fact that they had
better start again. If you grow veg
you will know that what applies to
sweet peas also applies to veg
peas and to beans so those need to
be picked often. If possible keep
sowing a few seeds every two
weeks so you don't get a glut. You
may well still have a glut but at
least you tried. A freezer is the
veg gardener's best friend.
On the subject of veg, it can't be
said often enough: grow only
what you like and what is likely to
be expensive in the shops. I have
awful memories of growing a
couple of runner bean plants. It
wasn't until they were in full cry
that I realised nobody in the
household likes them! It has to be
said that the plants were truly
majestic and it's no wonder that
when they were introduced to this
country that they were grown for
the flowers not the beans. There
are white flowering as well as the
usual red and some bi-colour.
They all produce masses and
masses of pods and these grow
incredibly quickly. This is fine if
you like them and/or grow for
show. I haven't yet found anyone
who freezes them successfully so
you end up trying to foist them off
on to people who do like them.
Not when I'd finished they didn't.
June is for roses. They suffer from
all sorts of things like aphids,
black spot, rust, powdery mildew
but the diseases have largely been
overcome in modern roses as
these have been bred for
resistance. Aphids (greenfly) can
be overcome by predators
ladybirds and feathered birds. If
you feed birds they will return and
remove aphids and caterpillars to
feed their young. They know
where to get a feed of one sort or
another. The ladybirds tend to
arrive as the aphids start to
multiply. It's sensible really no
good going to a pub before
opening time. You can actually
buy ladybird larvae from organic
suppliers of things like little
wasps for greenhouse pest control
but it really isn't worth it unless
you have lots of bushes. Baby
ladybirds are incredibly ugly and
look like the world's worst pests.
In fact they resemble large
caterpillars, black with yellow
stripes and little tufts along the
back. They are friends so please
don't treat like pests. A few years
ago the Harlequin arrived and
caused a bit of a panic which is
still going on to a certain extent.
These ladybird
are bigger than our natives and
are mainly yellow with lots of
spots. That's confusing as our
natives also come in yellow with
lots of spots. The initial problem
appeared to be that the Harlequin
eats the native as well as aphids.
Subsequent investigation has
shown that they eat other pests
and only resort to the natives for
lunch when nothing else is about.
Research is ongoing.
Back to the roses. Blackspot
usually shows up first and the
leaves develop what looks like ink
spots but these soon spread until
the entire leaf is brown and black
then falls off. It used to be a
disease of areas with clean air so
in towns when everyone burned
coal and there was soot in the
atmosphere this seemed to prevent
the blackspot developing. Now
we all have clean air it's all over
the place. You can spray of
course, but this needs to be kept
up for weeks. Rust and powdery
mildew are more weather-related
when it's hot and dry so if you
keep your roses well-watered
chances are you can avoid these.
Unless you are really fond of an
old bush it's best to bin it and start
again with a disease-resistant
variety. With a scent of course.
If you are really keen you can
take softwood cuttings from quite
a variety of shrubs: cornus,
berberis, hebe, forsythia just to
name a few. You take cuttings
from this year's young shoots (4-6
ins) then root them in open
ground using a cloche. A plastic
drinks bottle with the bottom cut
off will do it. Roses can be rooted
the same way or put in a pot under
a polythene bag out of direct
sunlight. It's a good exercise if
you want a challenge or to
increase your stock. Another
challenge is to layer clematis.
Professionals can root cuttings but
that really is for the expert.
Amateurs can easily layer them
by pulling down a low-growing
shoot then making a shallow cut
along no more than a third of the
stem. Dust both ends with
hormone rooting powder and bury
this part of the stem leaving about
6ins of the tip out of the soil. Hold
the buried bit down with a wire
pin or a stone. It should provide a
new plant by autumn.
If you need the space it's as well to
dig up spring bulbs once the foliage
has died down and dry off to store
until autumn. This is particularly
recommended for tulips and
hyacinths but if you plant tulips
deep enough they will appear again
but probably with smaller flowers
year on year. I have left both types
of bulbs in year on year and it does
work but the flowers definitely
shrink compared to those stored
correctly. Bulbs in containers
certainly should be removed and
stored. You can use the containers
again as well.
There are definitely two jobs that
have to be done, both a bit of a
bore but keep the garden going
water and weed.

It was a truly eye opening meeting
we had in May! We had as our
speaker a vey nice young lady
named Sophie from the East
Anglian Air Ambulance.
We were shown photographs of
the medical team in action and
some of the different types of
incident they can be called to.
Sophie also told us about where
and when the first Air
Ambulance was in Britain and
when Anglia 1 arrived in
Norfolk. Cambridgeshire has
Anglia 2, and in October they
should be getting a new
helicopter and we in Norfolk
will be getting theirs which will
allow for the possibility of night
flying.
Both Anglia 1 & 2 get no money
from government funded
organisations in any way, so
they are completely reliant on
donations. It costs 3,000 per
day whether the helicopter is in
use or not and when they are
night flying the goggles will cost
18,000 per pair. The crew
usually consists of the pilot,
doctor and a paramedic. Three
minutes is all it takes for the
helicopter to go straight up in
the air and it uses 4 gallons of
fuel per minute.
In June/July they will be able to
carry blood as well to enable them
to carry out blood transfusions on
board if necessary.
Sophie brought with her some
promotional products for sale,
which our members were able to
buy and the group gave her a
sizeable donation to take back
with her. She was very warmly
thanked and feed back from the
members was extremely
pleasing; even the Watton Two
(yes, he's back!), were listening
intently!
Our next meeting will be on
Monday June 9th, 10.15am, and
our speaker will be Graham
Davey who will be talking about
Bygone and Antiques, so John
and Rod should feel quite at
home!! As usual the meeting
will be at the Pentecostal Church
and we thank them for their
generosity for the use of their
facilities. Please phone Helen
01953 884713 if you have any
questions about the group.
Ps. Come and have a chat to
some of our members at the
Carnival, and see how nice we
really are!!

On the last Saturday morning in April
the Christian Community Centre was
buzzing with activity as many people
flocked to support a Coffee Morning,
with stalls, organised by the Tuesday
Afternoon Fellowship of the Methodist
Church, to raise money for the Friends of
Chernobyl Children. Pat Murphy, an
enthusiastic supporter of this cause, had
previously spoken to the fellowship
Group about the work, and the members
were inspired to do something to help.
One lady spent time writing to various
official bodies trying to get revoked, the
Government decision that the childrens
visas have to be paid for this year,
whilst others have been knitting and
collecting clothes for the children when
they arrive in September.
Then there was the Coffee Morning!
From 9:30 onwards the Chapman Room
at the Centre was heaving as people
enjoyed coffee and delicious cakes and
perused the stalls for many bargains. Sue
and Paul Yelby (from FOCC Breckland)
brought a rolling programme of slides to
show something of the work the group
does. It was also interesting to discover
that, quite by chance, the date chosen for
this event was the exact anniversary
April 26th 1986 of the actual
explosion.
As always the people of Watton and
District were amazingly generous and at
the Fellowship AGM, the Secretary was
able to hand to Mrs. Yelby a cheque for

How often do you come across someone
who cant quite get their words out, cant
remember recent events, who is a little
confused or having problems with simple
tasks like crossing the road or paying for
shopping at the till? Do you get frustrated?
A bit impatient that youre being held up?
A bit dismissive of someone who appears
to have symptoms of ageing?
Have you ever considered dementia?
The Alzheimers Society is encouraging
people to become a Dementia friend with
a campaign designed to raise awareness
and understanding of dementia. The aim
is to encourage people to take action to
support people with dementia to make
their lives easier to live.
There are about 800,000 people in the
UK with Dementia (ref Alzheimers
Society) with numbers set to rise to over
1 million by 2021 and many people are
living with it undiagnosed. Dementia can
affect men or women and although it
mainly affects older people, there are
over 17,000 people in the UK under the
age of 65 with dementia. There is often a
lot of misunderstanding about dementia
especially as it can cause people to
behave differently.
The 5 key things to know about
dementia are
1. It is not a natural part of growing old
2. Its caused by diseases of the brain, the
most common being Alzheimers
3. Its not just about losing your memory.
It can affect thinking, communicating
and doing everyday tasks
4. Its possible to live well with dementia
5. Theres more to a person than
dementia
To understand a bit more about dementia
and the little ways you can help, visit
www.dementiafriends.org.uk You can
become a dementia friend by signing up
and watching a series of videos or by
attending a face-to-face session in your
local area. Alternatively contact the
Alzheimers Society Care Line on 0845
306 0898
If you are concerned about dementia,
contact the National Dementia Helpline
for information, support and guidance on
0300 222 1122
Dementia can cause a lot of stress within
families with family members feeling
quite helpless about how to cope.
Admiral Nurses are mental health nurses
specialising in dementia.
They work with family carers and
people with dementia to help people
live positively with the condition and
to provide support to families on an
emotional as well as practical level.
Norfolk has a local Admiral Nurse
network with support being given in
the Wayland area. Contact 01603

Its All
Different
By John Egerton
For a birthday treat my son arranged
to take me to see a Premiership
football match in London, which
made a welcome change since it is
many years since I have watched the
game other than on television. But
what surprises there were for me !
The first was when I saw the price on
the ticket - 60. What with normal
expenses like eating out and
travelling, the whole day out seemed
an enormous extravagance, though I
am told many clubs charge even
higher entrance fees. In my day we
used to pay just two bob (ten pence)
so this meant that prices have gone up
by more than 600 times since then!
Admittedly, we always had to stand,
for only the wealthy or disabled ever
used the few seats that were available.
Here everyone had no option but to
sit, which was all very nice except that
at every exciting part of the game
most of the people in front me leapt to
their feet so I couldnt see half of what
went on.
I am told that many supporters clubs
are pressing for the old type of
standing room to be re-introduced
since most men prefer to stand, but
the safety people wont agree, due to
regrettable incidents in the past. And
in my day there was no segregation
of fans, home and away supporters
were all mixed in together.
When half-time came, I had an
opportunity to sit and think about
the many changes that have taken
place since I first starting watching.
First of all the pitches, which
nowadays are so well maintained
that even in the worst winters seem
to be in almost perfect condition
throughout the season. Back in the
fifties many grounds became little
more than mud-heaps after a days
rain, but with better drainage and
under-soil heating, poor conditions
rarely affect games these days.
Probably the most important change
was the development of the ball,
which in the early days was always
made of leather, which tended to
attract mud and moisture, so getting
heavier as a game went on, making
control more and more difficult.
In the early fifties damp-resistant
balls were developed, leading
eventually to the lighter models
standard today.
These lighter balls influenced the style
of boots that the players wear today,
which have superceded the rather
clumsy ones that used to be required
to cope with the old heavy ones.
While modern boots often resemble
carpet slippers, the rest of the kits
have changed enormously too.
Shorts used to extend down below
the knees, then gradually got more
brief, until in the 1970s they had
reached the point where they were
little more than bathing trunks,
though they have been going back to
knee-length lately, while shirts
change in style every season,
according to the whims of the
manufacturers, who sponsor all the
leading teams.
Minor changes I noticed were that
there are no flags next to the
halfway line, and each linesman
only has to run half the length of the
pitch, the goalposts are round in
section, and there is a D shaped arc
to keep players ten yards from the
ball when penalties are being taken.

The rules seem mainly un-altered,
though some petty interpretations
have been done away with, such as
throw-ins are no longer made from
the exact spot where the ball went
out of play, while goal kicks can be
taken from anywhere in the six-yard
box. Important alterations have seen
the protection of goalkeepers
reviewed, so that it is no longer
permissible to charge the keeper
over the line when he has the ball in
his hands. In fact it seems that the
goalie today is rather over-protected.
Tackling from behind is now barred,
but mostly the rules are more or less
the same as I have always known
them.
Most noticeable is that substitutes
are allowed, as many as three per
game, putting an end to the situation
where an injury could change or
completely ruin a game as a
spectacle and spoil a teams ability
to compete.
The biggest change seems to be the
result of the huge sums of money the
clubs receive from the TV companies
resulting in the large squads of players
that are signed each year from all over
the world. The old days when most
clubs had a strong complement of
local lads, who mainly stayed
throughout their careers, only
augmented by an occasional
transferred addition, are long gone.
In fact home grown talent gets very
little opportunity these days, which
is why the chance of England
winning a world cup grows more
remote as the years pass by.
The most annoying feature of
todays game is the childish antics
the players get up to when a goal is
scored, when they kiss and cuddle
each other and collapse in a large
heap. To my mind this comes under
the heading Ungentlemanly
Conduct, and as such should be
punished by the referee. Great
players of the past marked the
scoring of a goal by a handshake or
at the most a pat on the back from
the nearest colleague. Todays
obnoxious goal celebrations are
dispensed with when the scoring
team are chasing an equaliser so are
obviously merely a matter of
childish showing off.
Of course the actual methods of play
have changed enormously, with the
accent on close passing as opposed to
the old more direct methods, the most
successful teams managing to
combine the two. Defences have
tightened up so much these days that
often the intricate passes made by the
attacking side, merely means the ball
is taken from man to man all over the
field, with only a rare shot on goal
being produced, which while being
extremely skilful, can be a bit boring
to the spectator.
In the days when I was a regular
supporter, the cream of the season was
the F.A. Cup Final, and even before
television came on the scene the
whole sporting world concentrated on
the big day, whichever teams might be
involved. Nowadays it seems to
warrant hardly a mention.
My day out was certainly an
experience. I was impressed by all
the modern trappings, such as the
large screens behind the goals
showing repeats of the best bits of
the game, and up to date news items.
All that was a far cry from the
public address system at the First
Division club I used to visit. That
consisted of a blackboard which a
chap carried round, giving team
changes or urgent messages.

Carbrooke
Heritage
Group
On Friday May 9th we welcomed Lesley
Brighting, her husband (from New Zealand),
sister and brother in law to Carbrooke, as they
came in search of their Carbrooke roots. Their
ancestors were Robert Thimblethorpe, and
wife Hannah. Roberts son was Henry
Thimblethorpe born 1814, who married
Hannah Steele from Letton. and moved away
from the village sometime mid 1800s.
We began with a short look around
Carbrooke, and visited Stone Cottage on
Broadmoor Road, where Henry had lived in
1841. Then on to the old
Methodist Chapel, as it
is recorded that Henry
sold the land on which it
was built. Then to the
church to see the grave
of Robert and Hannah
(and second wife
Martha) and tour of the
church. At 2pm we
held a tea party in the
village hall, with local
history information on
show. Village residents
arrived to welcome
them, and it was
surprising to all of us,
when Mick Wigg
bought some fascinating
documents relating to
his house on Drury
Lane, which
unbeknown to us was
built by Robert
Thimblethorpe. Mrs
Minns bought a copy of
her family tree which
shows one of Roberts
daughters marrying a Thomas Starke Minns.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon, and we
presented the Brighting family with some
local books and information (including the
most recent copy of New Penny News!)
I enclose a letter of thanks from Lesley: On
behalf of us all, thank you once again for this
afternoon - we do appreciate the work that has
gone in behind the scenes to make it such an
interesting and worthwhile time for us. As I
said to you, it was far beyond what I was
expecting, and we came away with so many
interesting bits of information about our
ancestors and the local area. We enjoyed
meeting some local people, too - as I don't
have contact details for them, please pass on
our sincere thanks for the effort they put into
making our visit so memorable - we
appreciate the Carbrooke generosity.
Sincerely Lesley Brighting
We are now looking forward to our next
visitors, on Friday June 6th, we will welcome
John and Dorothy Johnson from America,
descended from James and Elizabeth Sayer,
and Robert Johnson all of Carbrooke. Please
come along to greet them at 2pm in the
village hall.
Next meeting: Wednesday 9th July 7pm in
the Church. All welcome to our informal
meetings.
We are also hoping for another visit to
Norwich Records Office on Wednesday 2nd
July, contact me if you are interested in going.
Still seeking local information relating to
WW1 .

An enthusiastic audience packed Queens
Hall on a recent Sunday afternoon to
enjoy the 100th Concert given by the
West End Waiters. The event was
organised by the Inner Wheel Club of
Watton and was attended by the
organisations District Chairman,
Annette Guttridge, and by Malcolm
Chubbock, Chairman of the Norfolk and
Waveney Branch of MNDA.
The Waiters excelled with their own
special brand of wonderfully humorous
songs, monologues and sketches and
their efforts were brilliantly
complemented by the members of Inner
Wheel, who served tea and a huge
variety of home-made cakes during the
interval. It was evident from the
audience reaction that a great time was
had by all, and an amazing total of
930 (and still rising!) was raised for
the Motor Neurone Disease
Association, bringing to a total of
approx. 10,000 the amount the
Waiters have raised since they decided
to take their show on the road.
The members of Inner Wheel are proud
to have been host to this very special
event. Lesley Cowling IW Club

There were candles and cake at the
Inner Wheel Birthday Supper on
Friday 9th May and each had their
own special significance as part of
the celebrations for the 33rd
Anniversary of the Club. The
evening began as, on behalf of
Watton Club, President Pam
Challand welcome guests from
many clubs in the area including
the District Chairman Annette
Guttridge and the Association
Treasurer, Liz Thomas. Jane
Brodie, June Garrett and Heather
Hewson lit candles for Inner
Wheel past present and future and
Roy Challand, as President,
brought greetings from Watton
Rotary Club. The guest Speaker for
the evening was Georgette Vale
who took on the persona of Lucilla
Reeve a well-known local
character from times past. Dressed
for the part Miss Reeve gave a
spirited and sometimes poignant
address detailing her time as Land
Agent on the Merton Estate,
Farmer and vigorous champion of
all things rural, whose life was
turned upside down by the wartime
evacuation of the villages on what
is now the Battle Area. In time,
circumstances took their toll on
Miss Reeve: as the tanks, which
she hated, left, the promises made
to the villagers that they would be
allowed to return home were
broken and the compensation
offered was insufficient for starting
again elsewhere. After a lifetime of
sturdy independence, these final
betrayals proved too much and
Miss Reeve could find peace only
by taking her own life.
After her presentation Georgette
Vale answered questions and then
was thanked by Vice-President
Brenda Davis.
Next the birthday cake was
ceremoniously cut by the husband
and wife Presidential team Roy
and Pam Challand and then guests
enjoyed a delicious buffet supper.
The evening concluded with thanks
expressed by the District
Chairman.

May 1st was a delightful
meeting with our Young
Poet finalists from Wayland
Academy. Submissions this
year were somewhat sparse
and it was decided to give a
little extra encouragement
by asking those with the
most promising entries to
revise their work, with a
little bit of advice, and
resubmit. This produced 3
outstanding results. Henry
George was adjudged the
winner and he is pictured
receiving his prize and
certificate from President
Roy Challand.
The 2 close runners-up were
Ellie Rix & Jessie Mew
Sixty years ago, on May 6th,
Watton Rotary held its first
proper meeting; a year
later Buddy Holly saw Elvis
Presley perform in his home
town of Lubbock, Texas.
We celebrated the
anniversary with a Rave
On show on May 11th,
when the acclaimed Beccles
-based Buddy Holly tribute
group gave a brilliant
performance telling his
story. Unfortunately the
audience was somewhat
depleted, not helped by
heavy rain prior to the start
of the show. However, the
raffle realized 85.
Our bric-a- brac markets on
the 4th Wednesday each
month continue to do well,
averaging about 50; the
next one is due on June
25th. We are always pleased
to receive donations of
paperback books and
unwanted housewares.
We are running a coffee
morning in the Queens Hall
on June 7th, in association
with he monthly craft
market, and next day we
will have a stall for

June 29th 11am To 5pm
Many people enjoy walks in
and around Thompson. Now is
your chance to see the more
hidden corners of our village.
As well as opening a number of
gardens to the public, the
village of Thompson will be
putting on a number of other
attractions over the weekend.
There will be at least eight
gardens open to view. In
addition we are creating a
history trail around the village,
highlighting key properties or
parts of the village which have
some historical significance to
the story of Thompson. There
will be a competition for the
children to find the bumble bee
in each garden, with a prize.
Teas will be served at College
Farm and the Village Hall, and
light lunches will be available
in the Village Hall from 12noon
- 1.30pm. Plants will be on
sale. The gardens vary in style -
keen vegetable growers gardens, cottage
gardens, more modern gardens and those still
under development. These are not the show
gardens of the Chelsea Flower Show but a
chance to peek behind the scenes of a pretty
and much-loved village with a wealth of
history. We hope you will come and share the
weekend with us and learn more about
Thompson.
Funds raised will go towards the Thompson
New Community Hall Building Fund.
Entry will be 4 per person with children under
12 free, payable at two key points the Village
Hall and College Farm.
A passport leaflet with map showing the
gardens open to view and the history trail
points will be given upon payment, to be shown
at each garden visited.
Parking is available near the village hall and at
the College Farm end of the village which will
be signposted.
We look forward to welcoming you.

News from the
Wayland
Partnership

The Wayland Partnership is delighted to
announce that with funding support from
Wayland Academy and the Wayland
Chamber of Commerce, it launched
Round 2 of the successful Wayland
Ready for Work Programme on the 15th
May 2014 which will run until July.
The programme offers short, imaginative
and innovative training to help young
participants, gain vocational and social
development qualifications while
experiencing a wide range of challenging,
fun activities designed to improve
confidence and esteem, maximising their
chances of moving into further training or
employment.
The first round ran from November 2013
for ten weeks and was completed in
February 2014. The programme
supported ten Year 10 students from
Wayland Academy and the underlying
aim of the project is to support the
progression to employment, education or
training provision for young people who
are NEET (Not in Employment,
Education or Training) or those at risk of
becoming NEET.
Those taking part qualify for the Edexcel
Level 1 Award in WorkSkills which is
designed to offer learners a flexible,
relevant course to improve their
understanding and application of work-
based skills. These qualifications ensure
that the knowledge, skills and
understanding provided by these
qualifications are relevant, current and
useful for learners and potential
employers, and have been designed to
support employability.
The Wayland Partnerships role in the
project is to provide a venue in Wayland
for the training and manage the
programme. Using a very experienced
tutor, we will provide them with a
supported environment and an
introduction to vital learning and the
opportunity to develop their knowledge
and skills.
We will also assist them in progressing to
further suitable learning programmes or
sustainable employment.
If you would like any more information
or can offer any support - financial or
otherwise, contact Iain Cockburn at the
Wayland Partnership in Watton on 01953

To all Parents
Do you know what Parental
Responsibility is?

If you have children it would be remiss of you
not to because it entails all the rights, duties,
obligations and responsibilities that you have
or may have in respect of your children. The
first thing to know is that the culture of family
life (and law) has changed dramatically since
our grandparents were themselves parents of
young children.
Family law has changed, albeit at a glacial
pace, to recognise the important role of both
mother and father and to make them equal,
wherever possible, not just in law but
psychologically as well, which is proven to be
beneficial for our children as they grow up.
Obtaining Parental Responsibility is a fairly
simple process. Mothers acquire Parental
Responsibility immediately upon the birth
of the child. Fathers do not. If they are
married at the time of their childs birth
Parental Responsibility is automatically
conferred upon them.
If they are unmarried there are four basic
ways of obtaining Parental Responsibility.
The first is to be present with the mother at
the registration of the birth of the child. If a
father lives outside of the country this can
still be facilitated as the Registrar of Births
Deaths and Marriages will provide relevant
forms for signature ahead of registration.
The second is to enter into a Parental
Responsibility Agreement. The Agreement
itself can be downloaded from the
Government (court forms) website and is
not difficult to complete. Once completed
by both parents it is filed at the Principal
Registry of the Family Division in London.
This requires a letter being sent enclosing
the form nothing more.
The third is by court application. This option
is used in those cases where there is
disagreement between the parents. There is
case law which informs parents, lawyers and
the courts themselves how these applications
should be dealt with and for this you would,
in my opinion, be sensible to seek advice
from an experienced Family Law Specialist
before issuing proceedings to consider the
merit of your application. It is not yet a
foregone conclusion you will succeed and it
would be very unwise to launch proceedings
before covering all bases.
The fourth is by application for a residence
order. If the Court makes an order granting
residence in favour of a father Parental
Responsibility flows with this . However if a
mother and father live together for more than
6 months after the making of a residence
order that order lapses and with it the Parental
Responsibility so a separate order for Parental
Responsibility or entering into an Agreement
should be considered.
Once obtained, you have the same rights as
everyone else with Parental Responsibility.
You are equal and are entitled to all
information concerning your child held by
any agency education, health, social and
so on. Your consent must be sought before
your child can leave the jurisdiction of the
courts (England and Wales not Scotland)
whether for a holiday or permanent
removal (there are exceptions to this) and
your childs name cannot be changed
whether in common usage or by formal
change of name document without your
consent ( or permission of the Court). Your
consent should be sought in matters which
will have a significant bearing on the
health, education or upbringing of your
child and your view is as relevant and as
important as everyone else.
If the other parent embarks on a course of
behaviour which you consider harmful to
the upbringing of your child, you can apply
to the court for a number of different orders
preventing them from continuing without
permission of the Court. It has to be hoped
that this never arises but as we all know this
is not always the case. If ever you reach
this point you should never be afraid to ask
for advice because as parents you are equal
in law.

The British Trust for Ornithology
(BTO) Garden BirdWatch (GBW)
team often get asked during the
summer whether, or not, to continue
feeding garden birds. The answer is
yes; the BTOs advice is to feed all year
round as garden birds may struggle to
find food at any time of year.
Historically, we only fed the garden
birds in the winter when the weather
turned cold. However, in the summer
birds have the challenge of finding
enough food for themselves and their
chicks. Feeding the birds during the
breeding season allows adults to
utilise supplementary foods such as
sunflower seeds for themselves,
freeing up precious natural
invertebrate food for the chicks.
Make sure the food that you are
providing is suitable to the season
in the summer, it is best to avoid
whole loose peanuts in case the
parents try to feed them to their
chicks. Investing in live foods such
as mealworms can be beneficial.
Bear in mind that prolonged chilly or
rainy conditions can make it hard for
birds to find natural food, even in the
summer, and at times like these
additional food supplies can make all
the difference to parents feeding a
nest of hungry chicks. At the end of
the breeding season most adult birds
will completely replace their feathers
in their annual moult, at which time
good nutrition is particularly
important.
However, while feeding does benefit
garden birds overall, garden feeding
stations can potentially add to the
spread of disease. Fortunately, there
are simple measures you can take.
Clare Simm, from the BTO Garden
BirdWatch team commented, We
regularly receive enquiries about
preventing disease from spreading in
gardens. The GBW handy guide to
disease and hygiene has useful
suggestions on how to clean your
feeding stations, the different types
of disease that are common in
garden birds and what to do if you
find a sick bird in your garden.
The GBW team has produced a free
guide to disease and hygiene with
simple precautions and guidelines.
The free disease and hygiene guide
is available from the BTO Garden
BirdWatch team in both paper and
online versions. Request yours today

David Morton paid us a return visit on the 14th of May. This
time he told us about St. Jamess Palace and Clarence House.
St. Jamess Palace was built by Henry V111 during the period
1530-1536 on the site of a hospital for leprous women of the
upper class and was founded at about the time of the Norman
Conquest. Of Henrys Palace, only the imposing gate-way
survives. It became the official residence of the sovereign
from 1698. The various offices of state were built so that the
King could keep his advisors close at hand but a fire
destroyed Whitehall Palace in 1837 and Queen Victoria
made Buckingham Palace the official residence. The British
Court is still officially termed The Court of St. James and
all royal declarations are first made from St. Jamess Palace.
The Tudors, whose family tree spreads all over Europe, have
their official details embedded in St. Jamess Palace in Friary
Court. The Commonwealth torch, now progressing round
Britain, started its journey, not from Buckingham Palace but
from St. Jamess, Sir Chris Hoy having the honour of
starting it on its way. It will arrive in Scotland in time to start
the Commonwealth games.
Clarence House was built in 1825 for the 4th Duke of
Clarence and has been called that ever since. Clarence House
and St. Jamess Palace form a giant complex which houses
many important offices to do with the running of this country.
Clarence House was enlarged by the Duke and his wife
because they thought that in its original size it was much too
small for their family. The Queen Mother lived here and it is
now occupied by the children of the Royals with even an
office for Prince George.
In the course of his talk , David Morton mentioned many
other Palaces within the complex which are mostly used for
official offices and for visiting dignitaries. He also brought
our attention to the fact that the Lord Mayor of London is not
Boris Johnston who is just Mayor of London. The Lord
Mayor of London is a separate and more senior person. The
likely possibility is that the next Lord Mayor of London
will be a lady. There has been a previous Lady Mayor but
that was 800 years ago.
The task was won by Mrs. Linda Palmer with a tray of fridge
magnets. Next month the task will be for the letter N.
The trip to Fakenham Garden Centre met with a mixed
reaction with some finding it very expensive.
Club meeting Wednesday 11th of June which will be a bring
and buy sale. Have a hunt round for something to bring and
come prepared to bag a bargain. Meeting begins at 14:00 till
16:00. Tea/Coffee and biscuits included in the entrance fee of
2. Suggestions for outings should be made to Margaret
English.
Easter joy at
St Ethelbert, Wretham
Plenty of preparation involving flowers, home cooking and
grass cutting brought St Ethelbert at Wretham towards a
happy and successful Easter weekend.
The Rector (the Rev Canon Bob Baker) led worship at the
Easter Day Holy Communion service, attended by 33 people
with 27 communicants.
Immediately afterwards, several of the congregation cleared
away to start their two days of playing host to visitors.
With the gardens of Wretham Lodge, the former rectory
which stands opposite, open under the National Gardens
Scheme, the church entertained visitors with teas and cakes,
used books and flowers, the last produced throughout the
church by Wretham Ravers members and their friends.
On an Easter Sunday with a dull outdoor aspect, 125 people
still visited the gardens, where refreshments were transferred
during the day to accommodate a baptism service in the
church, also taken by Canon Baker.
A more sunlit Easter Monday saw bigger visitor numbers
arrive in the village. At the end of two days cheery hard
work, 352 people had visited the gardens, meaning over
1400 going to nursing and caring charities.
With refreshments back at the church almost over run at one
afternoon point, efforts to welcome and cater for people over
two days saw 818.72 earned for church funds.

Watton
Evening
Women's
Institute

May is traditionally the month that every
Wl member in England and Wales , some
213000 at the present time, debates a
resolution proposed by an individual Wl on
a whole variety of subjects. This year is no
exception when Watton Evening Wl
members discussed the following resolution
on Increasing Organ Donation:The NFWI
notes that three people die every day whilst
waiting for an organ transplant. We call on
every member of the Wl to make their
wishes regarding organ donation known,
and to encourage their families and friends,
and members of their local communities to
do likewise'.'There was a lively debate and
the resolution was passed. This vote will be
taken by our delegate Janet Oxborough
from Ashill Wl to the National AGM in
Leeds early in June.An update on a previous
resolution 'SOS for the Honey Bee' was also
given and members learnt how important
the honey bee is in the chain of nature and
that research and continued protection is
needed. The winter of 2012/13 was
particularly bad for bee colonies and it is
hoped that our mild winter this year will
help to increase prospects of survival.
Members were pleased to learn that a 10
million research fund for pollinators had
included money for the honey bee and that
the EU had set up a moratorium on the use
of certain pesticides which were found to be
harming the bees however nationally Wl
was worried that this would detract from the
importance of shrinking habits and threats
from pests and disease. Bees are responsible
for pollinating up to three quarters of
agricultural crops and many of our
wildflowers, as well as producing honey.
Both our diet and vibrant countryside would
look very different without bees. We were
pleased to hear that the government has
listened and has promised action to
safeguard the bees. The Bee Action Plan put
forward and under public consultation goes
some way but it was felt that there was
room to make the Plan even stronger. A
joined up approach that ensures the multiple
threats to bees is tackled is critical so that
the final Plan sets clear targets for local
authorities and planners to ensure a bee
friendly environment becomes the norm.
Members were also pleased to hear that the
garden at the federation office in Norwich is
to be replanted with plants which attract the
bees. Members were encouraged to plant a
few bee friendly plants in their own gardens
so helping the corridors for bee travel. We
also looked back on other resolutions
passed over the years and were amazed at
the variety and forward thinking of the
subjects and how they have changed over
the years since the first resolution in
1918.Our coffee morning and nearly new
sale in April was a success raising just over
250, 100 of which will be part of our
donation this year to the East Anglia Air
Ambulance. Thank you to everyone who
came.At our meeting on Thursday June 12th
we will welcome back Paul Bryant, artist
extraordinaire,. Members will see him paint
two pictures using his unique technique,
with what appears to be a few strokes of the
brush, lakes, clouds and trees appear. The
pictures will then be raffled so two lucky
members will return home with a
masterpiece. Partners and friends have been
invited to this meeting so hopefully there
will be a good crowd at the Watton
Community Centre starting at 7.30pm.New
members and visitors are always welcome,
just come along to the Community Centre
by 7.30pm or for further details ring Hazel
Gillingham on 01953 881510.
Shipdham &
District Book
Group

The book discussed on 16th April was The
Distant Hours by Kate Morton.
Coming from a normally self-contained
individual, Edie Burchill is intrigued by her
mothers reaction to a long lost letter from
Milderhurst Castle. Shortly afterwards,
getting lost on a car journey, Edie finds
herself at standing at the gate of the castle
with the over-whelming feeling she had
been there before with her mother.
Unable to get any information from her
reticent mother, Edie suspects she is
keeping a secret and is drawn back to the
castle for a visit. Owned by the Blythe
family, it is still inhabited by three eccentric
and aged, spinster sisters, Percy, Saffy and
Juniper. Their father Raymond was author
of The Mud Man, a scary tale, familiar to
Edie as a child.
As the story unfolds, it transpires Edies
mum spent time as a 13 year old evacuee in
the castle for a short time in the Second
World War but why doesnt she share this
information? Why is Percy so protective of
her sisters? In the process of trying to
unravel her mothers secret from years back
(the distant hours) other secrets, involving
the sisters and their father, are slowly
revealed.
With the exception of one member, who
liked the descriptive style, the scene setting
and thought it was a good, readable story, it
was agreed the book was far too long,
flowery, boring and didnt warrant its 700
pages . It was felt the plot was shallow and
contrived. The authors research was also
questioned as it appeared inadequate. This
reading hasnt encouraged any further
reading of the author.
A brief discussion followed regarding
childrens literature, the menace of fairy
tales and what scared us as children and,
more importantly, what is considered
suitable for children to read.
The book for the meeting on 21st May is a
collection of short stories This Isnt The
Sort of Thing That Happens to Someone
Like You by Jon McGregor.
Letter to the
Editor
Watton Sports Centre Parking
We have to congratulate the Watton Sports
and Social club on being so well used, but
would ask PLEASE PLEASE if some
alternative parking facilities could be
provided.
On Sunday 11th May vehicles were parked on
both sides of the Dereham Road (A1075)
adjacent to the Centre, particularly under the
site of the old railway bridge where the road
narrows considerably. This was causing
problems for traffic flow but must have
proved most inconvenient for people living
along the road wishing to access their
driveways. I realise that it is a major trek to
the public car park behind the Queens Hall,
but one has to assume that people attending
sporting activities at the Centre are indeed
quite fit and active so the exercise involved in
making this walk would be beneficial.
Last year when this happened the Police
were involved but as they said at the time
parking violations are no longer part of their
remit so it would seem that parking
problems should be addressed by the Sports
Centre management committee.
Wretham
Gardens open
The National Gardens Scheme gardens at
Wretham Lodge, Church Road, Wretham
IP24 1RL are open once more on Sunday
June 22nd between 11am and 5pm. The

walled garden with fruit and interesting
vegetable plots, mixed borders and fine old
trees, double herbaceous borders and
wildflower meadows.
Teas and homemade cakes will be served in
St Ethelberts church opposite during the
same times. Admission to the gardens is 4
for adults, children free. There is plenty of
free parking.

Watton & District
University of the
Third Age
At the April meeting our speaker Bob
Warnes presented The Memory Joggers
Memories of a Norfolk childhood. He and
his colleague entertained the members by
showing us various kitchen implements and
ladies underwear from the Victorian days
onwards and asked Do you remember?
There was a great deal of member
participation and quite a lot of hilarity. Bob
explained that he and his colleague worked
in residential centres around the area with
the elderly and people suffering with
dementia.
By showing them various items they or
their parents may have used or worn when
they were younger it can trigger off
memories and get them to interact as it did
us. An entertaining afternoon was had by
all.
Alans pub lunch group will meet at The
Windmill at Great Cressingham on
Thursday 12th June.
Brians group will be meeting at The Red
Lion at Hockwold on Tuesday 24th June.
Susan Pages garden visit is to be advised.
The coach for the Mystery Tour of
Norfolk on Wednesday 18th June will
depart from the Queens Hall at 9.45am.
The next monthly meeting will be on
Thursday 26th June. The guest speaker will
be Lorna Weir, presenting The History of
Spelling.

As usual the month has flown by for life at the
Caston Martial Arts Centre, apart from the
usual mix of children's and adult classes, the
monthly Escrima stick fighting course, and the
usual crammed packed calendar that is the
norm, we have, this month seen the promotion
of FIVE new probationary Black Belts (known
as Shodan-Ho)
On Sunday 11th May, the five candidates
started their grading with a 12 mile run,
which included a river crossing and a quarter
of a mile firemans carry. In addition to the
candidates, the senior grades also participated
in the run and all the watery fun that goes
with it (this is all part of their continued
training).
After a quick shower they were all in the
dojo for the technical side of the training,
including techniques, weapons, demonstrations,
fitness tests, milling and knock down
submission grappling.
Ishin Ryu Ju Jitsu prides itself on it's hard
training philosophy and this grading was not to
disappoint.
After much blood, sweat and tears the grading
was finally called to a finish at 7.15pm where
five VERY happy Brown/Black Belts stepped
forward to receive their new grade of Shodan
Ho.

defence, please contact the registrar Teresa

Well done
Project
Linus
Norfolk &
Friends
Quilts and More, the 2014 Exhibition in
aid of Project Linus Norfolk on 16th-18th
May, with Barn Ruche as venue for the
first time, was very successful. Well
over 200 people attended in the two and a
half days of opening making over 800
for Project Linus Norfolk after expenses,
despite the beautiful weather tempting
people to coast and countryside. Visitors
came from far and wide to learn about
the work done for traumatised, sick,
bereaved, fostered, abused and other
needy children in the county.
We collect and deliver quilts made by
groups and individuals many of which
could be seen at the exhibition. In
addition we had samples of beautiful
quilts, bags and other projects made by
Hackers, Tackers and Stuffers and
Friends; a Project Linus sales table of
hand made items and another with
members selling their work; delicious
home made cakes plus rolls supplied by
Barnies with tea or coffee; a bag draw on


















two separate days and a quilt raffle on the
third; visitors were asked to judge a
fabric postcard competition; Rob from
Sew and Sos in Bungay was tempting all
with his fabrics and books as was Steve
on the Saturday with examples from
Sewing Machine World in Kings Lynn
and there was much social interaction
amongst kindred spirits all for an entry
fee of 1. All profits and donations will
go to Project Linus Norfolk and its work.
In addition to the events of the day
Hackers, Tackers and Stuffers may well
have gained several new members
judging by the interest in the group.
A very big thank you to all who helped
and gave whether it was time, cakes,
advice or materials with a special

Is this the end of
the Sequence
Dance Club?
The Sequence Dance Club has been
meeting in the Carbrooke Village hall
for over thirty years . At one time it had
more than 40 members, now we only
have 9 and the club is no longer viable.
We expect to close at the end of June
2014. The club could continue if two or
three couples were to join.
If you would like to join and keep this
friendly club open please phone Brian
Wells on 01603 412809 or email

Watton Reserves won the CS Morley cup
on Tuesday 29 April in a well fought
contest against Gayton. The final was
hosted by the Norfolk F.A. at the 'Field of
Dreams' in Bowthorpe. Watton took a
deserved lead in the first half through
Xavier Huckle who was making good
chances for himself during the first half.
Midway through the second half Ben
Childerhouse put Watton in a commanding
lead when a 40 yard cross cum shot looped
the keeper and landed in the far top corner
of the goal.
Gayton never gave up and pressed playing
a good passing game but couldn't quite
inflict any damage on the Watton goal with
a fine defensive performance from
Wattons midfield and back line, with
Cristian Radu in goal earning Man of the
Match.
On Saturday 3rd May the local team did the
Double by earning promotion with a 6-0
win away to Thorpe to turn around what
had been a difficult start to the season.
