Tasburgh Parish Council Parish Council Report At September’s meeting of the Parish Council, PCSO Cook gave a short presentation about the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme – now called Home Watch - and distributed information packs to those present at the meeting. She said that schemes could be set up in small or large neighbourhoods and could consist of entire streets, or just a few houses. Regular contact would be maintained between the police and the appointed coordinator and an annual meeting is held for coordinators to update them on various aspects of crime prevention. PCSO Cook reported that arrests had been made in relation to the burglaries that took place in the village earlier in the year and asked residents to be vigilant to suspicious behaviour and report anything to the police. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that the newly renovated milestone has now been firmly fixed in place on the A140 and Brian Hill attended its reinstatement (see pages 38 and 39 in this Quarterly for more details and pictures). Owing to the unfortunate disbandment of The Tasburgh Players, their committee has decided to distribute their remaining funds amongst village organisations and have offered to fund one if not two benches in the village. The first of these is planned to be placed on the Green on Church Road. Councillors have provisionally agreed that the second would be a welcome addition at Burrfeld Park. Back in August, in a boost for local democracy and the independent free press, councils in England were brought into the 21st century after Local Government Secretary, Eric Pickles, signed a Parliamentary order allowing press and public to film and digitally report from all public meetings of local government bodies. This ‘right to report’ updates a law passed by Margaret Thatcher as a backbench MP. 6

Tasburgh Village Hall Fundraising with a Community Feel Village hall activities this autumn have been focusing on fundraising with a community feel. We began in September with our annual Village Fete, which despite the grey day, was well supported enabling village hall user groups to raise all important funds. We were particularly pleased that the Fun Dog Show attracted many new members of the community (and their varied pooches) to the event. We’d especially like to thank our judge Freya from ‘Tell-tails’ pet grooming in Wacton, who enthusiastically oversaw proceedings, making ‘tricky' decisions about the dog with the waggiest tail and dog most like their owner. Hopefully this will become a regular feature of the fete. In October we held the 7th Tasburgh Art Exhibition, which included entries from several new artists using a variety of media such as stained glass, textile and oil on glass, alongside a lovely display of pottery figures and birds from the Bracon Ash Pottery. Moving the event forward from its usual November slot enabled us to avoid clashes with the many Christmas themed craft fairs and lent itself instead to a Halloween theme, with the children’s pumpkin carving competition. We were expecting a visit from Radio Norfolk’s Treasure Quest team (the treasure was hidden in one of our pumpkins) but unfortunately treasure hunter Kirsteen failed to solve the clues in time and only managed to reach Mulbarton. Visitors to the art exhibition voted for their favourite pumpkin design, with the wolf-themed entry of Hannah Schug receiving the most votes. 8

Tasburgh Village Hall Commission from the sale of art work plus the sale of home-made refreshments contributed to more than £600 for the village hall development fund. These monies will all help towards our current project – the expansion and improvement of the car park. By the time you read this we will have held the Old Time Music Hall concert in collaboration with the Church, an event helping to commemorate through song, dance and ‘ration’ food, the 100th anniversary of World War I. Our always popular Quiz and Spuds night will return on Saturday 29th November, this time helping to raise funds for Tasburgh United Football Club (TUFC). To enter a team (of up to 6 people) in this hotly contested event please contact Graham (01508 471518) or Rebecca (01508 471539). Our fundraising has allowed the Village Hall to recently invest in a ride-on lawn mower, releasing us from grass cutting contracts and hence giving us the flexibility to cut the village hall playing field when required i.e. to meet the needs of village hall events and our regular user TUFC.

Tasburgh United Charities The Trustees of Tasburgh United Charities would like to remind parishioners that they have available each year a certain amount of money to be applied in helping the residents of the Parish who, regardless of their age and for whatever reason, find themselves in need of financial help. Identifying those in need of assistance in the village can be our most difficult task. Whilst previously the elderly may have been seen as the obvious persons requiring help, and we continue to support them when we can, in the current economic climate working families may be those with the lowest income. Others could include those temporarily or long term unemployed residents enduring illness, students, or anybody suffering a loss of income for any other reason. We meet to make decisions about distributions twice annually in May and November and for urgent requests on other occasions in-between. Among the factors taken into consideration is a general idea of the family income, for that reason we ask for a few facts about the overall income / expenditure for the applicant’s household. Our application form is simple to complete, all information is kept completely confidential. Assistance can be given by outright grant towards general expenses, by contribution towards a particular expense, a temporary loan or by purchases of equipment for use. Items of further education will also be considered. Remember, the money is there for use by any resident of Tasburgh, all applications are considered in the strictest confidence. If your circumstances are not already known to the Trustees and you feel that they might be able to help you please contact one of the trustees: Mrs Jill Casson 12 Hastings Close 470334

We offer 5 sessions a week Monday to Friday 9.30 to 12.30 at Tasburgh Village Hall. for all children aged 2 to 5 We are now accepting children from age 2 including eligible funded 2-year-olds. If you are not sure if you are eligible for funding, please speak to us – we can help you apply. What a difference a year makes. Last September we were worried about our low numbers going forward. This September, our numbers have suddenly exploded. We have welcomed 15 new starters since the beginning of term, with several others coming in the next few months. So at the time of writing we are recruiting for a new member of staff, hopefully to be in place after Christmas so that we can still offer five mornings a week to all the children. The other big change this term is that for the first time in several years, we have more girls than boys. Our theme for November has been fairy stories and nursery rhymes, with craft activities and roleplay based around these. Here we must say a big thank-you to South Norfolk Council for their grant enabling us to buy several lovely story sacks to support children’s literacy. Next of course we shall be celebrating Christmas – watch out for lots of glitter around the village hall! On December 4th we are joining the Reception class at Preston Primary for a Christmas craft morning, and then we shall be making lots of Christmassy items ourselves, all completed by our end of term party and Nativity show on Friday December 19th. 12

Preston Primary School
The new school year commenced on 4th September 2014 with the new reception children starting on Monday 8th. The new children seem so tiny but are full of confidence. The school was inspected by Ofsted in September under the new framework adopted in 2012 and we are proud to report that the school has been ranked as ‘good’ which under the new guidelines is wonderful news. The Inspector has described Mrs Payne as an ’outstanding’ head with the rest of the staff making the school a very special place for education. The pupils achievements and behaviour was deemed ’outstanding’ and they continue to be a credit to the school. Open days for children starting school in September 2015 were held on Thursday 18th September and Friday 26th. If you missed these dates and would like to look around the school we would welcome your visits. Phone the school on 01508 470454 to make an appointment. On 24th September stage 2 pupils enjoyed a trip to Gressenhall Museum to learn about ‘Neolithic Britain’. Friday 3rd October was Harvest Festival and all donations of food were sent to the Norwich Foodbank. On Tuesday 14th October the school arranged a ‘Maths evening’. This was a chance for parents to come into school to ‘Learn how your children work with numbers’ in Key stages 1 and 2. 14

Preston Primary School
Every Monday from 9.00 - 11.00 am parents are invited to come into school to see how Key Stage 1 children learn Maths and English. Individual photographs were taken on Thursday October 16th . From 20th October pupils from Grasshopper created a fruit store at playtime for KS2 children selling various dried fruits such as raisins and apricots @ 20p a bag. After half-term they will also be selling fresh fruit at 10p. Although this is initially for KS2 children any children from KS1 will be also be able to purchase fruit if they wish. On 21st October we were visited by the Dogs Trust to educate all the children about the way they should behave with dogs. School closed from Thursday 23rd to Friday 31st October for half term holiday. There are many more activities at the school in the weeks leading up to Christmas such as the Christmas nativity performance . This event is very popular especially with the senior citizens in the village. We have a list at the school which we regularly update but unless we are informed of names we cannot guarantee to have invited everyone. If you would like to put your name on the list please ‘phone the school on 01508 470454 or send a message with one of our children and we will make sure you receive an invitation. All activities occurring after this bulletin has been sent in will be covered in the spring Quarterly. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year from the staff and pupils of Preston Primary School.

Tasburgh Allotment Society Down on the Allotments: November 2014 This is probably the best quarter to write on. With a steady stream of produce seen leaving the allotment site bound for kitchens and cooking pots around the village, it’s the quarter that we sit back and say ‘look at what we managed’, before we start the whole process again. Most notable weather conditions to report on was the extension of summer throughout September (where less than 10% of expected rain fell) and even into October when up to 22 degrees on Halloween broke all known records. So again we get back to our issue of water supply. Work continues with this but it seems as we generate more funds another unlikely quote drops in on us and proceedings stall. We will continue but this is still work in progress. Muck has been delivered by Redwings Horse Sanctuary and the Parish Council have installed some finely crafted steps for us. Thanks to both these groups for their help. The pedestrian gate is now impressively sprung loaded, thanks to Simon Saunders, to ensure no accidental openings leading to unwanted rabbit intrusions. Of single greatest interest recently has been the 2nd Annual TAS Produce Show held at the Village Hall Fete back in September. I can happily report a rise in entries from the previous year to over 100 spread throughout 35 classes. The Village Hall was abuzz with action on the morning of the fete as displays were set up. Particularly pleasing was a rise in non-allotment holder’s entries. We really strive to promote this event for the entire village and hope that this participation continues to grow. Returning judge Dave Moore gave his critical views for the second year and in total judging took over an hour (a measure of the seriousness taken). A full round up the results is included over the page but obviously the prize of ‘Best in Show’ is the accolade we all dream of. This year the title was taken by Chris Austin’s Three Dahlias. 16

Tasburgh Allotment Society Along with the obvious veg and flowers, you’ll see home produce and even art classes represented. Fancy a go next year? The potato in a bag competition was a real eye opener with some quite pitiful returns really (I feel comfortable saying so as I include myself in this admission – less than 300g) due mainly to blight that moves in under warm wet conditions and can prove devastating. If you could keep this killer at bay then maybe you were in with a shout of greatest return from a single starter potato? One competitor who did was winner Susanna Sadd managing a mighty harvest of 2.8kg off her single tuber (collecting a Stratton Chip Inn voucher for her efforts – thanks to Chris Austin). When asked to comment her success her lips were sealed though as to just what her secret was. For some, simply the weigh in itself proved one step to far. Stories of competition bags being ran over on driveways and most amusingly one entry that was ransacked and eaten when stocks were low in the kitchen. From the entrant’s bag in question, the three potatoes harvested in their hour of need, and remembering the £3 entry fee, must rank as some of the most expensive spuds ever eaten. Simon Orford , Secretary to TAS
'Thank you to everyone who helped and supported us. We raised £500.00. this will be split between Mundsley inshore lifeboat and Wymondham Star Throwers. We will be having another craft fair next year on 24th October 2015. 17

Tasburgh Eurolink The clocks have been put back and it’s officially winter time despite the prolonged ‘Indian Summer’. Most people will be looking forward to Christmas, but members of Eurolink are looking even further forward. Firstly we have our Wine Tasting on 28th February 2015. We have a limited number of tickets for this popular event so please make a note of the date in your brand new 2015 diaries. Our Safari Supper will be on 4th July, an easy date to remember for what most people find is an enjoyable evening. Tickets for both events will be available from our secretary, Alan Jones. The most important dates in our calendar will be June 11th to 14th when we will be visiting our friends in Linden, Belgium. We would be delighted to welcome more families to join us. I can assure you Belgium is anything but boring and we always have a great time – why not give it a go next year? You’ll find a contact telephone number on page 3 of the Quarterly, or you can email me: helenmburnett@gmail.com if you’d like to join us or just want further information.
Thanks to everyone who came and supported the Macmillan coffee morning at the village hall. We raised £581.85 which included gift aid donations. Mel Goodall 20

The Reverend Dawn Davidson writes For those who haven’t yet met me, I started as Team Vicar in the Tas Valley in mid-July this year. I’d travelled many miles to get here! If you count my journeying through my earlier days, my route took me through Aden, Germany, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Uganda, India and Italy – eventually to Mulbarton where I stayed for many years before moving to Saxlingham Nethergate with my husband, Tim and our son, Joel. I have particular responsibility for the churches in Saxlingham and Shotesham and as I travel around the parishes on this side of the great divide (aka the A140!) and look at the beauty of the countryside I can’t help feeling as though I’ve been written into a chapter of the Hobbit. Always a believer, I had a powerful encounter with God in 1993 and haven’t looked back. I grew up spiritually in a charismatic church but within a group of other churches with a more traditional feel. During training for ordination we were exposed to the whole range of ‘churchmanship’ so I’m able to minister within a range of styles. As my mini-bio on the Tas valley website states, my passions in ministry are prayer, preaching and pastoral care – all of which come under the umbrella of ‘discipleship’ which is about growing as Christians and developing our relationship with God. It’s an ongoing and transformative task that enriches our lives beyond the telling! Everything else we do comes out of our relationship with God so it makes sense to give priority to getting to know him better, living out our faith in daily life and enjoying the friendship he offers!
21
Four months into my time with you and at last I’m beginning to match up names to faces and getting a grasp on the routines of the churches in Tas Valley. Everyone has been so welcoming and made us feel so much at home that it’s hard to think we haven’t really been here all that long. I’m very much looking forward to the other times and seasons I haven’t yet shared with you – Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter. My prayer is that God will use my ministry among you – and that I will be open to all he wants to teach me through you as well. I’d also like to think that along the way we’ll grow friendships and discover more of what it means to be God’s people serving him together in love. Every blessing to you all Dawn Davidson

In the New Year, at the request of the PCC, there are some changes to the pattern of services at Tharston. On the second Sunday of the month there will now be an 11.00am Morning Prayer [Matins] according to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer which they hope will enable more people to enjoy the traditional style of worship that St Mary’s offers. On the third Sunday of the month there will continue to be a BCP Holy Communion at 8.00am, a reflective ‘said’ service. Please feel very welcome to come to these services. Please contact the churchwardens for further information
In the new year, (after consultation), we have agreed a new plan for worship at St Mary’s. The big change is to the main service on the first Sunday of the month which will be cafe style at the school at 10.30am.

“For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.”-- Millard Fuller Over the summer the ‘Who Cares? ‘ Project asked people ‘What hurts the most,?’ as a Church we are often there at the best times and the worst times in our lives and the church sometimes gets it wrong. The responses to that question included loneliness, relationship problems, ill health, bereavement, money worries and more. As a team we wish to look at the issues raised and see if there are any ways in which we can help in the community. So if you are struggling with any of these issues we may be able to help you find the help you need. Kate Cakebread – ( 471356)

These are small groups of people meeting to pray together for God’s blessing on the people who live around them and for the area in which they live. Of course our parish churches are ‘houses of prayer’ in which, for hundreds of years, local people have gathered regularly, to worship God and pray for their parish. But, the Local Houses of Prayer do have a particular focus on prayers of blessing for the community in which they meet. It is an opportunity for Christians from different traditions, to come together to pray with others in the same area. At the moment There are 2 groups meeting in Tasburgh. It would be wonderful to have more. If you would like to know more please contact: Jenny Cooper 470141 jenny@tasvalley.org

Tasburgh Scout Group We have 30 children in the colony at the moment. We have had a busy Autumn Term, activities have included a sponsored walk for Phoenix Owl Rescue, a campfire with singing and toasting marshmallows litter picking and lots of games. In the run up to Christmas we will be tie dyeing, cooking , swimming and earning our faith badge! Beavers are the youngest section of the scouting movement , boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 8. We meet at the village hall during term time. We are full now until September 2015 but if you would like you child to go on the waiting list please contact me Kirsteen 01508 471739. This summer saw one of our biggest adventures yet, Norjam 2014. From Saturday 9th to Saturday 16th August, 40 Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders joined over 5000 other Scouts and Guides at the Norfolk Showground for a whole week of fantastic activities. Scouting is a world-wide movement and Tasburgh were lucky enough to be chosen to host a group of Kenyan Scouts and their leader. Taking over the entire Showground, we had a complete community with a cinema, alcohol-free cocktail lounge, first aid centre, internet cafe and shops including the Centenary cafe and Big Apple shop selling all sorts of Norjam branded merchandise. Our Scouts and Explorers had different activities available every day. Craft activities in the barns on site included woggle-making, woodturning magic wands, mosaics, chaos science, glass engraving, encaustic art, bag painting, fantasy film, puppet making, fake injuries, pyrography and tile painting. 30

Tasburgh Scout Group On site activity fields hosted abseiling, archery, circus skills, air rifles and It's a Knockout - an entire afternoon of team activities with all sorts of wet and messy games, space-hopper races along slippery soapy plastic sheeting, diving into a ball pool to retrieve items, walking inside a giant caterpillar track and obstacle races. We were also treated to a fantastic circus show in the big top, after which everyone had a chance to try out some of the circus skills such as juggling, hula-hoops and more. Activities didn't just take place during the day. We had the Camp cinema, Norjam's Got Talent, Karaoke, discos, Taverham brass band, and our team won a Roman chariot race! For the 14-17s there was the Flux nightclub, serving mocktails with various themed discos. We also ventured off-site for ten-pin bowling in Norwich plus kayaking and raft-building on the River Bure at Little Hautbois. Friday was a trip to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach with lunch at Harry Ramsden's – we had to make sure the Kenyans experienced fish and chips at the seaside! Despite the end of hurricane Bertha bringing heavy rain and tentbreaking winds, everyone enjoyed the week and really made the Kenyans feel part of our group. Camp ended with a closing ceremony when, being from the Roman subcamp, we could wear our Roman Legionary armour and proudly parade to the main arena, led by our musicians and standard bearers. Special thanks go to Geoff for the use of his trailer, Julie for bringing our evening meal out to us one evening, also to Kirsten, Sally, Tom, Dan, Graham, Trudy, Andy, Alice, Heidi, Chris, Laura, Anna, Caroline and Rebecca (the latter 4 spent many hours assembling Roman armour for us!).

Norfolk Constabulary We have experienced a number of changes at Long Stratton recently, some of which you will have been informed about, but here is a quick update for those of you who are interested! Following the departure of PC Squires we are pleased to welcome PC Simon Redhead to Long Stratton as the new Beat Manager, he joins us from Costessey, PCSO’s Jason Dack and Liz Cook remain on the team, and we also welcome PCSO Caroline Quinn to the team who has transferred to us from Earlham. Now that the evenings are darker, may we please remind you to make sure that your vehicles are prepared for winter, check your lights before you start your journey, fill up your windscreen wash and also perhaps put a blanket, shovel and water in the car so that you’re prepared for any event. Also with Christmas approaching, please do not leave property on show in vehicles, make sure you put everything in the boot or glove compartment and do not leave any valuables in the car. Christmas presents under the tree are also a temptation to anyone passing your property, make sure these are out of view from passers by where possible, and draw your curtains once you turn on your lights. Theft of heating oil continues to be a problem in rural Norfolk, so if you have a tank make sure you secure it, and make access as difficult as possible for thieves. If you would like crime prevention advice, we can provide this free of charge, please call 101 to arrange an appointment. If you are aware of or have concerns for any elderly / vulnerable people in your area that may need additional help approaching winter, we have partner agencies (housing, security, social services, etc) where we can make referrals, so please let us have the details and we will endeavour to help. Finally, those of you who are signed up to ‘Police Direct’ – next time you receive a communication from us it will be under the heading of ‘Police Connect’. Please enjoy a safe and healthy festive period and we look forward to meeting you whilst out and about. 33

Tasburgh Tips and Treats For a couple of years now I have tried to reduce the amount of meat that I eat. Partly for health reasons, to reduce the amount of red meat and processed meat eaten each week and partly to be more aware of where my food comes from and how it is produced. As a result, I introduced ‘meat free Mondays’ where the evening meal is predominately vegetables, beans, pulses, lentils and different types of rice. Overall this has worked well. I am definitely not a vegetarian as I do still enjoy different types of meat and fish, but it does enable me to spend a little more on free range products for the rest of the week. Most supermarkets now provide a huge array of vegetables although this in itself is not without problems, with beans from Peru and mange tout from Guatemala, so not exactly ‘green’ in terms of production and air miles. The dilemma is then whether you are prepared to eat the same narrow choice of British grown for days on end. However, for those prepared to give it a go, there is a dedicated website called ‘meatfreemondays’ which does give tips and recipes for those looking for inspiration. My favourite recipe is creamy risotto that is both filling and nutritious and can be regularly adapted to incorporate seasonal vegetables, from spinach, peas, asparagus, rocket, courgettes, squash, chopped preserved lemon, different cheeses, a spoon of mascarpone and pine nuts. And all these give the dish a great colour and flavour. If you can’t bear to go completely meat free you can always add some crispy bacon, pancetta or flakes of fish such as salmon. Put 1.3 litres of vegetable stock on to heat up as it needs to be hot when added to the rice. Heat 20g unsalted butter in a medium sized pan and gently fry 2 finely chopped shallots or small onion for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften but not colour. Add 350g Arborio risotto rice, stir to coat in the butter and fry for a further 1-2 minutes. The grains begin to go see through at the edges and will be ready to absorb the liquids that are added. 36

Tasburgh Tips and Treats Add the juice of a lemon, a glass of dry wine, and if desired, a splash of pernod or vermouth which gives the dish a lift. Keep stirring until it has almost evaporated. Then add a ladleful of stock, stirring all the time until almost completely absorbed and then keep adding a ladle at a time. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Cook until the rice is just cooked, and has still a ‘bite’ to it or ‘al dente’. It should be lovely and creamy and not be dry. Now you can add the cooked vegetables, pecorino or parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, rocket leaves. A final squeeze of lemon juice, freshly ground pepper and a swirl of butter. Serve immediately. Delicious. Julie Lawrence

Tasburgh Milestone
A huge thanks is due to all those who helped with the renovation of Tasburgh’s milestone. It is thought to date to the late 1700s and has 'Tasburgh' inscribed in its original old lettering. Tasburgh Venture Scouts helped to recover the stone in March. We had to drag it through a ditch, under a fence and through a hedge so involved a lot of huffing and puffing. After preparation, three pupils and two teachers from Tasburgh Primary School, came to our home in Hardingham where they enjoyed painting the milestone and learning a bit about its history and turnpike roads. A re-siting decision meant a plinth had to be added to its base to raise it so it could be set back in its original position high enough to be seen. Installation was delayed again but, thanks to Gerald and Sarah Barnes from Tharston, problems were overcome and the stone was put in place on August 9th with aid of their teleporter. The project was fully funded by Tasburgh Parish Council and residents, and is a credit to all involved. A photo of the milestone being scrubbed clean is on the first page of our book 'Moving Miles', by Nigel and Jennifer Ford, copies of which have been presented to the Queen and Prince Charles. It is available at Jarrolds book department and other local book retailers.

Tasburgh Memories Herbert Harbour The son of Charles and Martha was born in about 1891 in East Dereham. In 1911 he was living with his married sister Sarah and working with his brother in law Martin Larkin as a wood sawyer in a cooperage in Liverpool. He was married to Florence by the start of the war and living in Woolton, Liverpool. He enlisted as a territorial for home service in 1914 but this was changed to general service in 1916 and with his regiment The Kings 2nd Liverpool he landed in France in 1917. The first half of the year was spent quietly in the Ypres salient, if surrounded by the enemy on three sides and under constant artillery fire can be quiet. The battalion was heavily engaged in the third battle of Ypres. Taking part in the battle of Pilkem Ridge, 168 officers and 3,384 men killed from their division. Withdrawn for a month and then returned to almost the same trenches. The battle of Menin Road Ridge more losses and the finally in support of an Canadian attack on the 26th October the division took part in attack on Shaap-Balie. They and the 50th Northumbrian Division lost some 3,092 men. One of which was Herbert, who died later of his wounds. The attack was typical for third Ypres in so much as it was made uphill across yards deep mud. Many who were killed or wounded disappearing into the slime. Tyne Cott Cemetery lies at the top of the Passchendaele ridge and must be one of the most moving on the whole western front. There were three Military Cemeteries attached to battlefield casualty clearing stations set up before the attack and the soldiers called them Bandaghem; Dozinghem and Mendinghem (try listing them out loud). Herbert is one of 74 members of his battalion buried in Dozinghem Military Cemetery during the attacks. The last question must be why is he on Tasburgh Memorial. The link has to be that he was the nephew of James and Louisa Harbour the parents of : 40

Tasburgh Memories William Harbour Born in East Harling in 1880 one of 12 children, eleven still alive in 1911. He married Martha Middleditch, from Suffolk, at Fulham in 1907 and had a daughter, Evelyn May, born the same year. He was a coal porter in a mansion, probably a servant tasked with carrying coal to the apartments in the building. He was a member 2/5th battalion of the London Regiment. This was a territorial regiment with different battalions linked to groups in the city. The battalion did not arrive in France until Jan 1917. It was broken up with soldiers being sent as replacement to other London Regiment Battalions. The 18th battalion London regiment was part of the third army on which the Kaiser’s Spring Offensive fell. During the Battle of St Quentin the 21st to 23rd of March saw a German advance along the whole front from the river Oise to the river Scarpe, a front of almost 50 miles. The start of an incursion of almost 40 miles. William was killed on the first day and his body was never recovered. The German forces were finally stopped on the 24th April, the British line was pushed back but had not broken and the long advance of the allied armies began. First, breaking the will of the German army to fight, and then throwing them out of France and Belgium. Bob Davison at: tas.war.memorial@gmail.com

Tasburgh Sports and Social Club Chairman’s Blog Well here we are again, it’s November or by the time you read this December where has the year gone, another busy year almost a thing of the past. Time to sit down with a pint and put the thinking cap on, what to plan for the year ahead. But before we look at the future I want to look at some events that have taken place since my last blog, events that will be on our future list. Our BeerFest in September was a great success, it was good to see so many of you trying the various ales, lagers and ciders on offer and from your comments we will be doing it again. If you missed the Blues Brothers tribute they will return, it was a cracking good night. Then came September 21st. The men and boys gathered on the freshly cut turf, the day had dawned bright with a hint of sunshine, glasses and mugs talking about Cricket Day and what an absolute sporting day we had, it was a pity to have winners and losers. Upper Tasburgh came out as the winners but it was a very close match, towards the end it looked like a draw was on the cards it was that close. Many thanks to everyone who took part, the captains Nathan Simmons and Nick Watts, looking after the score board was Tim Walker , the umpiring was allocated to various team members. A good day was had by everyone and yes, its on for next year. We also had another terrific night with the ever popular The Harvs and a fantastically scary Halloween disco with the children and mums and a few dads having a fun afternoon, it will be repeated. During the BeerFest and also from feedback from the club news letter [which members receive] we have had comments from some of you ladies about our wine selection which is currently available at the bar, and yes we have listened and we will be having a wider range of wines for you to chose from. Now for my quarterly whinge! We now have a nice team of folks who help at the bar during functions but [here we go again] if you would like to join the team give me a call 01508 471408 or pop in to the bar. And also if you would like to join the [committee] board of directors maybe bring some fresh ideas to the club. We would really like to see you so please call 01508 471408 or pop in to the club. If you think you can help to take this 42

Tasburgh Sports and Social Club thriving successful club into the future we do have vacancies on the committee, I will not use a certain supermarkets slogan but you could be a big help. Looking at the future and particularly TasFest as you may or may not know Recreation for All have decided to step down from running this very successful event and we want to take on the running of TasFest. To help us we want to form a sub-committee to help with this, it was advertised in our newsletter last month but so far we have not had any interest.

This event in the past has helped fund the recreational area at Tasburgh and last year shared the event with East Coast Truckers, raising funds for children’s charities in Norfolk. We would continue the event to help Tasburgh and children’s charities and the Truckers are prepared to help as well, so come on Tasburgh come and help raise funds and also have a great day of music right on your doorstep.
