Taverham Remembers BMX Ben

Dear Mr Ross, Recently, I emailed Broadland Council, with reference to kitchen waste especially the small bins for food/kitchen scraps.

Unfortunately I’m still waiting for a reply.

My house is on Breck Farm Lane where we have no facility for this collection, although the house next door (on the Fakenham Road) has a kitchen bin.

There are many houses just off the lane where this facility would be welcomed, to avoid so much wasted food going into landfill.

I understand that this waste collection was only made available as a test run, but I am sure that this could be opened further, Norwich has this facility. We all pay the same rates.

Thank you, Spencer Chapman

BMX Track reopening

In July 2015, Benjamin Forwood’s eight year battle with a brain tumour came to an end. Taverham lost one of its favourite sons when he was laid to rest in St Edmund’s churchyard - a BMX bike on the headstone reminding us of his achievements. Ben grew up and went to school in Taverham, moving to Leeds in 2007.

He rode his first BMX bike in Norwich before going on to become European Champion in 2006 at the age of 29 and World Number Two a year later.

Ben was busy running half marathons for charity by the time when, in 2013, we were privileged to see him carry out the official opening of the BMX Track in Beech Avenue, Taverham. Now, three years on and a year since he died, he is still very much in the thoughts of his loved ones and all those of us who knew him.

Dear Editor, I would like to thank all my friends and neighbours for their support. The occasion was a garden party (14/08/16) for David.

Also thanks to the local business people who gave vouchers and gifts for the raffle.

All proceeds raised are being sent to Papworth Hospital. The grand total came to £300 – Excellent.

Once again thank you sincerely, Janet Durrant Editorial (Copy and letters): David Ross, E-mail: tavnews.editor@gmail.com (N.B. All copy should be sent as an attachment in Word) 24 Rossons Road, NR8 6RE Tel: 07789673489

Following a full refurbishment of the track at Beech Avenue Taverham Recreational Facilities are privileged to re-open the track in his honour. The Benjamin Forwood Memorial Track will be officially named on Saturday 15th October. Any who knew him is invited to come along to Beech Avenue around 12:15pm. It will be a quiet, low-key ceremony, in honour of the ‘gentle giant’ we knew and loved.

duodenum and biopsies were taken. Although the stomach looked normal the biopsies showed evidence of inflammatory bowel disease.

Toby was treated for the inflammatory bowel disease and has quickly returned to having a good appetite and no further vomiting. Inflammatory bowel disease is relatively common and varies from cats and dogs that only need to be careful with what they eat through to animals that are much more difficult to treat. The predominant symptoms tend to be vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain (often displayed in dogs as “praying”), weight loss and diarrhoea.

Treatment can involve simply a change of food or in more severe cases medication with steroidal antiinflammatories. Diagnosis is difficult and requires intestinal biopsies however with the availability of veterinary endoscopes often a diagnosis can be obtained without the need for surgical biopsies.

The next member of the Taverham vets team who needs little introduction is Roger Bannock MA VetMB

MRCVS. Roger is a local boy who qualified from Cambridge University. Soon after he opened the surgery on Fakenham Road in the house in which he was born. The doors opened in 1994 and since then the surgery has flourished based on his principles of providing excellent standards of affordable veterinary care.

Constant reinvestment in the business means the purpose built premises on Fir Covert Road now boasts some of the best veterinary facilities and most qualified staff in the region. Roger is an active member of Norfolk Gundogs and his well trained dogs are often to be found pottering about the practice in search of staff sandwiches! Roger has particular interests in canine reproduction and soft tissue surgery.

My case of the month is Toby. Toby is a 10 year old Lhasa who presented with vague signs of inappetance, vomiting and occasional fever. He had a long history of having a variable appetite and on and off sickness. Toby had a routine blood profile, some more specialised blood tests for gastrointestinal disease and an abdominal ultrasound with nothing significant detected. He then had a gastroscopy where a camera is passed into the stomach and

Taverham Day Centre

Taverham WI

www.taverham-wi.co.uk At the last minute Charlotte Paton stepped in to rescue us after a cancellation from our programmed speaker.

Because of holidays I was not able to be there but my fellow members have passed on their reports and it seemed I missed a very enjoyable evening. Charlotte spoke on the History of the Romanies from the origins in India, which DNA has proved, to their journeys across to Norway and then through various parts of Europe. She told the meeting how in the 1900’s with the demise of the horse drawn trains how the obsolete carriages were used by Romanies to travel during the day and at night upturn them and cover with tarpaulin to sleep.

Her personal story of wanting a caravan for many years but because like all of us having to watch her pennies was not achieved until later in her life which she now enjoys in her garden.

It is remarkable how unplanned events can often be more enjoyable than long term calendar plans. As a consequence of the cancelled speaker from Taverham Mill it was suggested that we have a group walk round the reserve. The last day of August was chosen and it was delightful. Nearly 30 members met in the reception area and set off initially in one group, but as is often the case as some travelled faster than others, we broke into smaller groups and walked and chatted and marvelled at this wonderful place literally on our door step. Looking at the displays in the reception area at the pictures of when it was a functioning paper mill it was hard to visualise how it was as nature takes over and covers what man ceases to use. It was a truly memorable experience.

October will see us getting prepared for our annual meeting and it is hard to believe that another year has flown by….they say that time flies when you are having fun and Taverham WI is certainly a friendly and fun group of women.

Our programme for the next two meetings: October 14th ‘Mary Seacole’ - Hazel Gillingham November 11th Annual Meeting We meet on the second Friday evening of every month at 7.30pm till approx. 9.30pm in The Old Hall, Taverham Village Hall, Sandy Lane and we meet regularly for lunch at Wensum Golf Club, Beech Avenue on the Thursday of the following week.

Gina Clapson, taverhamwi@yahoo.co.uk

On the 29th of September we used two minibuses and staff cars to take members from Tuesdays and Thursdays to the

Marsham Arms. We all enjoyed an excellent meal. There will be an open coffee morning with Auction, Cake Sale and Raffle on Thursday 3rd November. Everyone is welcome to attend. We need items to sell at the auction. Collection of, not too bulky, items can be arranged, if required.

The photograph is of Rosie Wilkin during a recent talk on hats and headgear. Rosie is coming to talk about Anglo Saxon medicine in October.

At the time of writing this report we are still hoping to find a temporary cook to cover the sick leave of our normal cook.

The group organises walks in the area as well as coffee mornings, barbecues and theatre and restaurant visits. Suggestions for new activities from members are welcomed.

Any gay men who are interested can sign up on the groups Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/groups/norwichmaturega ycommunity Anyone with questions or requiring more information should contact Andy 01603 869758.

Taverham Allotments (TALGA) I have been fascinated by plants all of my life and made a conscious choice to study them at the highest level, which I was fortunate to be able to do for more than 50 years. In my opinion plants are in many ways more complex than animals and much of this complexity is not well understood. The main thing that sets plants and animals apart is that, in general, animals have a nervous system that allows them to respond to their environment. Plants lack this system but are still more sensitive to their environment than animals. For example, higher plants are very sensitive to light. They respond to day length, many plants will flower at specific times of the year when pollinating insects are present and to light quality, the trigger for flowering and many other responses often being determined by the relative amounts of red and far-red light in the light spectrum. Some plants have evolved systems that respond to touch this allows runner beans to climb up bean sticks. Some responses to touch are very rapid, in particular the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica), which will immediately close its leaves when touched.

Plants have evolved some ingenious systems to overcome the most extreme environments, in particular deserts where water is limiting.

Succulents, in particular cacti, have evolved a system for fixing carbon dioxide at night when temperature is low and water loss from the plant is at a minimum. All higher plant and animal life on earth is totally dependent on photosynthesis, which is the most fascinating and most important of all biochemical systems. I never cease to be amazed when looking at the world, to know that all living things have resulted from the fixation of a gas, carbon dioxide, that is only present in the atmosphere at 350 – 400 parts per million. This ability of plants to achieve a conversion of light energy to chemical energy and in the process to split water molecules to release oxygen on which all of us depend is still not fully understood.

The complexity of plants is what makes them a real challenge to grow and has stimulated my lifelong interest in gardening and vegetable growing.

If you are interested in having an allotment plot or ½ a plot, in Taverham, TALGA can be contacted by e-mail (talgasecretary@btinternet.com) or via our web site (www.talga.org.uk). Please note applications for plots can only be accepted from people resident in the Parish of Taverham.

We invite you to attend our AGM in the Old Hall, offering much more breathing space.

After our meeting this year we will have a short presentation from our local historian Joe Mason, who will talk about the “Squires of Taverham (1623-1920)” which we are sure you will find most interesting. Don’t miss this opportunity to find out more about your History Society and the history of our village.

And free entry what a bargain!

At the time of going to press we had yet to hold the presentation on the origins of magic with the “Magical History Tour” by Peter Fox and will report next time.

As announced last month we have changed the time and format for the 16th November. It will now start at our usual time of 7:30pm in the Old Hall more details next month. Don’t forget to alter the time in your diary.

Of course, we must cater for all dancers for they visit many venues and expect to be able to enjoy each event.

Unfortunately, Irene is still physically unable to assist me with any instruction of new dances. However, often I am approached when attending various local dance venues prior to the start of proceedings to run quietly through new dances that we haven’t featured at our club in order that they may be understood better.

Please join us soon at The Costessey Centre any Friday afternoon from 2:00pm. Till then--- Happy dancing--John 01603 746005

Trinity Church has now run a couple of Open House events. There were mixed feelings as to how well they would be supported, but we needn’t have worried. The turnout has been good and the feedback very positive.

The aim of these events is to provide a safe and welcoming place for people to meet, share food and hopefully make some new friends. A light bite is being provided free to all those who attend, though any contribution to the cost is gratefully received. The event is open to all and we have a wide age-range attending.

Accompanied children are more than welcome.

The French Book Club I was overjoyed by the response I received for my idea for a French Book Club. We have been meeting every Thursday between 4:00 and 5:00 pm upstairs at the Taverham Village Library since May. We have been provided with a range of French books to read, to cover all abilities, allowing French discussion. We try to converse solely in French, whilst we have two French speaking members, who are very patient, it can be a challenge. It also appears that reading a book in a different language takes a lot longer than was expected! This being the case, we have had discussions about topical subjects from the media or a subject that has arisen during the ensuing week, The Dentist for one, whilst getting to grips with literature.

This has been an amazing venture for me, meeting likeminded people and brushing up my French.

Thank you to the library and all present members for making it possible. Welcome to any new members that may wish to join us, pop in any Thursday afternoon. Any ability welcome.

A bientôt, Margaret Mace

Open House is run from 6:00-8:00 pm at Trinity Church Centre, Thorpe Marriott, on the first and third Fridays of the month throughout the year.

Future dates: 7th and 21st October, 4th and 18th November.

Imogen Beckley

MODERN SEQUENCE DANCE CLUB It’s amazing how the “old favourite dances” continue to be requested while the new introductions stay popular for a few weeks then fade away never to be featured again. As an example, for a while now we have enjoyed the “Balentine Bossa Nova” which was introduced last year. However, we were requested to play “Bossa Nova Blues” recently and it was just as well received as its modern rival. It raises the question why do we introduce new dances while there are so many old ones out there.

THE NORWICH ELECTRONIC ORGAN & KEYBOARD CLUB

VALE PROBUS CLUB

We meet on the last Tuesday of every month at Drayton Village Hall, with entertainment from popular professional organists from around the country. The evening starts at 7:30pm, an interval with refreshments and a raffle finishing at 10pm. There is no membership fee; entrance is £6 at the door.

We had no speaker this month, it being our Annual General Meeting, chaired by outgoing President Paul Anderson. In his review of the year he took the opportunity to thank the Committee members, in particular the Secretary and Treasurer, for their hard work. He was also keen to thank the Costessey Park kitchen staff for their excellent offerings over the year and called them into the meeting to receive a welldeserved round of applause.

Paul’s last job was to install Roger Hinton as President for 2016-17 with his good wishes, and Roger, with smooth efficiency, set about the formalities after paying tribute to Paul. Clive Astley was swiftly and unanimously elected as Vice-president (with the unenviable task of organising the programme for 2017-18) as were the other officers and committee members. Paul was presented with a copy of all the Newsletter reports covering his year and we left for home half-an-hour earlier than usual.

I’ll take this opportunity to mention some of the “extra-curricular” things that Probus members get up to outside the actual meetings. Some Probus members are not averse to a bit of gentle exercise, and those who play bowls or golf are known to join in an occasional inter-club friendly (?) contest as well as meeting in small groups on a regular basis. For those who like to get out and about, a committee representative of some halfdozen Probus Clubs in the Norwich Area runs Probus Travel. This organises a variety of group visits and holidays for Probus members and their families at favourable rates. These have included outings such as the Stanford Battle Area, London for theatre visits or a tour of Parliament, imaginative foreign and British holidays and even a Trad Jazz River Boat evening. Quite a few friendships have been cemented on these!

Chris Hurst

Tuesday August 30th Andrew Nix is a familiar face and a firm favourite at our club, so the fact that he arrived having had his head shaved for charity just a couple of days previously meant that we still recognised him by his jovial sense of humour and style of playing.

Andrew plays theatre organ as well as electronic so we had a good mix of styles throughout the evening, ranging from ‘Highland Cathedral’ to Adele and including a lovely arrangement of ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square’ using open harmonies and tibias, a good ole Dixie version of ‘Bei Mir Bist Du Schon’ and a great jazzy ‘Paper Moon’.

Ballads, musicals, polkas etc. were all stirred into the mix as is usual. However, by way of a change Andrew included a honky-tonk and Dixie version of ‘The Wedding of the Painted Doll’ plus a medley of songs by Sigmund Romberg, a great composer we don’t hear too much of these days, ‘Drinking Song’ from the Student Prince, ‘When I Grow too Old to Dream’, Softly as in the Morning Sunrise’ to name a few.

Andrew concluded with a couple of hot Sambas, quite fitting at the end of a very warm evening in Drayton Village Hall, but worth every minute.

Tuesday October 25th Rod Pooley and David Harrild Our annual duet concert this year features two of the top organ players on the circuit. Both players are

Drayton Community Infant School

Drayton Flower Club The President's Coffee Morning in August was once again very successful with the monies raised (nearly £800) going to the East Coast Truckers Charity. To see the sheer delight on the faces of the children as they set off for Pleasure Wood Hills this year was an absolute joy and worth every effort made to raise our donation.

This month is the Open Evening, Tuesday October 18th, when we invite other club members from the Eastern Region of NAFAS to join us for an evening with a National demonstrator followed by a buffet supper.

Do come along and join us for a really entertaining evening: tickets for visitors are £12∙50, great value for money, with guaranteed fun and laughter and the added bonus of gorgeous flower arrangements.

On Saturday October 8th 2pm to 4pm we are holding a fund raising JUMBLE SALE in Drayton Village Hall. There are some excellent quality bargains to be had for the early birds. Entry is free. Details of Club activities, Pam Bailey 867730

Our guest speaker in August was Robert Maidstone and it would seem that there isn't a single plant growing in gardens, fields, woods, etc. that does not have its own pest. This applies to flowers, fruit, vegetables, shrubs, lawns and more. Although Robert's talk was headed "What's the Spot?", there are many other forms of pests - insects, rust, mildew, club root, blight, canker; unfortunately a number of pesticides are no longer available and therefore the gardener must work hard to make sure plants are inspected regularly to spot any signs of disease at an early stage - hard work but worth it!

No doubt there is a pest for delphiniums and we will hear more about that at our meeting on the 4th October when our speaker is Howard Norton, an expert on this beautiful flower. Richard Whellum will be our guest on the 1st November to tell us of his adventures in Africa. We always welcome visitors to our meetings - Drayton Village Hall, 7:30p.m. Any problems just give me a ring.

Hall for All, Weston Longville.

Saturday October 15th Dheepan (15)

Winner of the Palm d’Or at 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Dheepan, a Tamil freedom fighter, flees Sri Lanka taking with him two strangers - a woman and a little girl - hoping that they will make it easier for him to claim asylum in Europe. Arriving in Paris, Dheepan finds work as the caretaker of a run-down housing block in the suburbs. He works to build a new life and a real home for his 'wife' and his 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens his war wounds.

Tickets £5 on the door include a luxury ice cream.

We hope to provide some complimentary hot Indian snacks as part of this screening, freshly prepared by a local professional Indian chef Doors open 7:00 pm for 7:30 screening All are Welcome! All proceeds to the Hall for All.

On 3rd August we went to Hunstanton for the day and on the way we called in to Norfolk Lavender Fields in Heacham, where we looked around the fields at all the lovely lavender growing there. The shop was visited where some members purchased plants and lavender related products. We then procced to Hunstanton where most of us had lunch and a stroll around the town, some went for a walk along the sea front. The weather was good an enjoyable day out.

Denise Amos came along on 9th August with her flower arranging demonstration. She uses artificial flowers and greenery for all the arrangements she does. What a wonderful sight of everything she made for us, such a talented lady. We had an auction of all the arrangements she made which went to the buying of the flowers and the remainder as a donation to the school she works at, it is a special needs school. A very entertaining afternoon everyone was enthralled by the arrangements.

We went to visit Paul Graves on 23rd August at his premises in Briston. He has a butchery processing unit, farm and shops - a butcher’s shop, bread and general grocery stores. The village is very well served by these shops. We all purchased lots of goodies.

Then we went to his farm where he raises the livestock for the shop. He also has cattle which his family enter into shows around the county. We went to the Village Hall where
