Thank you, Dave Armstrong

Dear Editor, Re: Donation to Air Ambulance May l through the Newsletter thank all our Friends and Neighbours for their support at Dad’s (Bill) Funeral on the 24th July. I can now confirm the amount donated to the Air Ambulance was £493·05 and for Mum’s funeral last year we collected £447, this makes a Grand Total of £940·05.

I am certain Dad would have been very pleased at the way things turned out on the day. His age 97, not forgetting the half, is certainly a challenge for us all to beat!

Thank you all once again and Take Care.

Kind Regards, Trisha and “Sam” Kyson, St Walstans Road

TAVERHAM NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

www.taverhamplan.co.uk The Taverham Neighbourhood Plan is your community-led document for guiding the future development of the Parish. It is about the use and development of land over the next 20 years.

This month, the Steering Group will be developing outline objectives and policies ready for the next series of consultation events. OBJECTIVES are how the Plan’s aims are achieved and the overall vision is delivered in a sustainable way. POLICIES can best be described as the rule book for planning applications in Taverham.

One of our Neighbourhood Plan’s aims is to ‘Give a voice to residents to shape developments’. This can only happen by engaging with and involving Taverham residents in its formation. It is likely that the next consultation events will be in December. More details will be in future newsletter reports and on our website.

Our summer consultations, questionnaires, surveys with schools and visits to various organisations mean that we’re looking at responses from over 550 people.

Thank you to all who’ve contributed so far.

There was a very strong view about maintaining and enhancing Taverham’s ‘greenness’, including creating footpaths and cycleways through green spaces and tree belts. Upgrading play equipment with better provision for older children also has been highlighted. Within new developments, issues include affordable housing, older people’s accommodation and providing sufficient off-road car parking to stop the use of pavements and to improve access. Many would welcome a community café or hub, which could provide a base for advice and support services. The greatest concern from all ages was that as the village expands, existing provision will be overwhelmed. Therefore, how service providers respond to and manage local growth will be crucial.

We are always keen to hear from you about the development of our village. You can email taverhamplan@gmail.com. You can also contact Rachel, our project manager, about the whole process on taverhamnp@gmail.com Chris Wilson-Town – TNP Steering Group

Hi all, I have been invited by your editor, to write a piece on a regular basis for the Newsletter, an invite I am more than happy to accept on behalf of the Constabulary. As this is the first occasion I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself, I am PC 635 Dave Armstrong and I am an officer within the Op RANDALL rural policing team. My role in very general terms is to understand what issues are impacting on those who live, work and visit our rural areas and communities and then if required to advise the local Area Policing commander on how best to tackle these issues if required.

Every month I complete a monthly newsletter which is sent out to about 2000 individuals and includes various issues that are happening throughout the county and advice on different aspects. I am more than happy to share this Newsletter with anyone who wants it, if enough people show interest in getting the Newsletter you can opt to receive it via Police Connect, then selecting the appropriate responses.

I am very keen to establish good communication links within all of our communities, either directly through me or through local officers and this can only be done with your support and help. As a Constabulary we need to know what is happening in your community, who is about when they shouldn’t be, which vehicles are acting suspiciously and what your concerns are. Without this information it is very difficult to patrol as efficiently as we would like, so please help us to help you, report any issues, (unless the call warrants a 999 response), via 101, CrimeStoppers on 0800

“BATTLES OVER”

taverham village hall news

At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, in 1918 (Armistice Day), there was a cessation of all hostilities in ‘The Great War’, believed then, to be the “War to End All Wars.” Just 21 years later events shattered that optimism. Each year, on the 11th November, we honour those who gave their lives in both World Wars. This year, 2018, holds a very special significance as the 100th year since the end of World War I. To commemorate this Taverham Parish Council, in conjunction with Wensum Valley Golf Club, is holding a “BATTLES OVER” celebration at the Golf Club on the 11th November from 3:30pm to the lighting of the Taverham Beacon at 7:00 pm and beyond for those who wish to continue to celebrate. The number of tickets is limited so I respectfully suggest that you book early to avoid disappointment. At just £10 per head, this includes a ‘sit down’ two-course authentic wartime meal, that could well have been on the menu a hundred years ago.

Tickets are available from Taverham Parish Council Office, Wensum Valley Golf Club, Abbotts at Victoria Road, Pymm and Co at Acres Way, and at Williams Way in Drayton.

We are fortunate to have Taverham Band entertain us; also a slideshow that depicts the celebratory side of those great conflicts, as we believe this is what the day is all about. We are looking for World War I memorabilia to display and any photos etc. of ‘street parties’ that your grandparents kept in that box on top of the wardrobe. If you think you can help us please contact me direct on 01603 261681. I can think of no better epitaph than these words of John Maxwell Edmonds which are recited on every continent on Armistice Day: “When you go home, tell them of us and say For their tomorrow, we gave our today.”

Let us all remember their great sacrifice.

John Pennells, Chairman, Taverham Parish Council

www.taverhamvillagehall.yolasite.com

The Coffee Mornings held on the third Tuesday of the month continues to be a huge success and offers a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and neighbours, make a note in your diary now to rekindle those old acquaintances and form new friendships.

By the time you read this I hope you will have had the opportunity to see the fantastic improvement made to the Bedford Room.

During the refurbishment programme many will have experienced the new clean and fresh kitchenette at various stages and I am sure as it is now fully completed you will also appreciate the short term inconvenience well worth the wait. With its new floor and completely redecorated this superb facility must appeal to a variety of activities such as small parties, presentations, crafts or as an addition to your hire of the Main Hall.

Please help maintain the standards set by washing the crockery and cutlery and correctly storing them for others to enjoy as indicated on the inside of the doors of the kitchen cabinets.

The Village Hall improvements will continue next year and we will keep you posted shortly with this challenging and exciting project.

You now have the opportunity to turn those preloved items into cash by having a stall at our ever popular indoor car boot (table top sale), on Saturday 13th October, 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Don’t miss your chance to have a table at the Christmas craft and gift fair on Saturday 10th November, 10:30 - 2:30. As you know tables are booked well in advance so don’t waste time thinking about it, contact the secretary, Jo Dye, without delay. See the advert for both events in your Newsletter.

TAVERHAM FAYRE

Important information about Flu Clinics

As you know the Swinging Sixties Taverham Fayre proved to be another huge success and the Fayre Committee are already planning 2019. Even though a number of compliments were received which we truly appreciate, we are currently looking at how we can build on this success and would welcome your feedback via our email address below or through a committee member.

Together, we can all contribute to ensure this traditional family event enjoyed by so many is even better in 2019.

The Annual General Meeting of the Taverham Fayre Committee will be held on Wednesday 14th November 2018, 7:30pm, Taverham Village Hall. This will be followed by a stallholders meeting. Your committee is looking forward to receiving your comments as this is your opportunity to help us to create an even better event next year.

Committee member, Lucinda Ingram attended Tesco Drayton early on a Sunday morning to snap local residents and avid supporters of the Taverham Fayre raffle, Margaret & Dennis Calver who were the proud winners of the trolley dash which was kindly donated by the Tesco Drayton store.

Their daughter in-law Rowena Calver willingly volunteered to do the running on their behalf hastily grabbing a trolley full of goodies under the pressure of the clock. Thank you to Tesco staff members, who kindly supported our winners on the day.

Should you have an idea, wish to offer help or simply make contact, please email; TaverhamFayre@gmail.com Like us on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter Bill Warnes, Committee member

Taverham Surgery The flu is not a severe cold. It is a completely different virus that attacks your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to other more serious illnesses.

If you will be aged 65 or over by 31st March 2019 or if you suffer from one of the following Chronic Diseases: Diabetes, Chronic Heart Condition, Respiratory Condition (including Asthma), Chronic Kidney Disease or have lowered immunity due to steroid medication that you are taking or are undergoing cancer treatment or you are currently pregnant or if you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person who may be put at risk if you fall ill, and/or if you are in receipt of Carer’s Allowance, you will be entitled to a free flu vaccination. The vaccine does not contain any live flu viruses so it is impossible to catch the flu from this vaccine.

We have now received our vaccine delivery dates and intend to run clinic on: Saturday 13th October A clinician will be present at both clinics.

How to book your appointment: Please call the surgery on 01603 867481 to arrange an appointment. Bookings can be taken after 11:00 a.m. each day.

TAVERHAM TABLE TENNIS CLUB For the Table Tennis exchange with Eislingen in Germany seventeen players from the Foxwood and Taverham Clubs plus friends went over on the trip. It did not get off to the best of starts – baggage problems with the airport/airline caused not a little difficulty. However, it did not stop The Flooring Trophy being retained and the team came home triumphant after a 10-3 win. Chris Parker played the Mayor at a civic reception and had his photo in the local newspapers. Visits to Lake Constance and Strasbourg were much enjoyed.

The Summer League is now over. Sadly none of the Taverham players or teams could progress to the final rounds. However, in the one point challenge competition James Ashworth made it to the semi-final and the Chairman was on the losing side in the Doubles Final. This time he is blaming the warm weather!

So moving on to the business end of things, we have five teams competing in the Norwich & District League. The ‘A’ is again in Premier B and the ‘B’ in Division 1. There they will be joined by the promoted ‘C’ team. And although the ‘E’ team just missed out on promotion last year, rearrangement of Divisions 2 and 3 into Divisions 2A for four-man teams and Division 2B for three-man teams means that the ‘D’ and ‘E’ teams are in the same Division, namely 2A. The season could be very interesting.

The Club continues to meet on Fridays but please contact Dennis Calver, Club Secretary on 01603 867924 to check details for coaching and club events.

Wheelchair Sponsors Event 6th September

Roundwood Bowls Club is an indoor bowls club with just under 400 members playing in friendly roll ups, internal leagues and county competitions. With over 60 members in their eighties, some of whom find it difficult to play for two hours, it was decided to look into providing a wheelchair to help them continue bowling. We quickly discovered that the cost of a chair, £2500, was beyond our means, so we started fundraising. Six months later, thanks to the generosity of the following people and organisations, Tesco (Drayton), Taverham Parish Council, Yorkshire Building Society, Taverham Lions, John Jarrold Trust, Mike Carey and Roundwood Social Club, we have four members currently using the chair and we are looking to purchase a second one this year.

Thanks are also due to Sue Hunter who, working enthusiastically and vigorously, was responsible not only for finding the sponsors but also for organising money raising events.

Chris Binns, Chairman 01603 860460

DOMINO SINGERS Domino Singers would like to know if there are any gentlemen out there who would like to join our group of singers. We are a mixed group but sadly the ladies far outweigh the gentlemen! You do not have to read music, just enjoy our varied songs from shows, popular songs of the moment and some older tunes.

We meet every Tuesday in Suite 1 of Taverham Village Hall at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and then sing till 12:00. We go out to clubs, lunch clubs, and retirement homes. For further details, please contact me, Brenda Binns, 01603 860460

NTP - It's a Two Matinee Saturday!

New Taverham Players panto is back this year with a new look to their Saturday performances. For those who previously have left it late and found the Saturday matinee was sold out then, not to worry, as by popular demand Dick Whittington will be performing two matinees on Saturday 8th December, 12:30pm and at 5:00pm with no evening performance. This will ensure all of those with younger families will have the opportunity to come along and enjoy this traditional panto leading up to the festive period.

Booking for Dick Whittington officially opens on Monday 1st October, with the evening performances starting at 7:30pm from Monday 3rd through to Friday 7th December with the Saturday Matinees as detailed above.

Ticket prices are £10 (£8 concessions) and are available by calling Chris & Julie on 01603 424313 between 9:00am and 8:00pm – if no answer please leave a message and they will get back to you, they are most probably at work. Following on from last year’s quick sell out please don't miss out so call now to get yours.

Chris Peach.

Our speaker in August Penelope Dent

October is usually seen as the last workable month of the year. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get good weekends in November and December but it is best to plan to get the last jobs done this month.

Once we get into January and February, it may simply be too cold or wet to work the ground.

It is time to crack on with clearing the allotment, disposing of waste and digging over the beds. Rough dig over heavy ground and leave it in lumps or ridges to be broken down gradually by the winter frosts and rain. Keep off the soil if it is wet and don’t be tempted dig it if it is frozen. When to soil is frozen hard it is a good opportunity to spread over some compost.

Harvesting of your pumpkins and squashes should now be undertaken. I am not a fan of squashes and associated foods although if you look on www.bbc.com/food/squash you will see there are some amazing looking dishes.

Any remaining tomatoes should be collected and placed in a drawer or shoe box to complete their ripening, but don’t forget to check on them from time to time. Potatoes must be gotten out of the ground before the end of the month and unless being used in a short space of time, stored in a suitable dry dark space.

Stake Brussels sprouts and sprouting broccoli plants to prevent them from being blown over in strong winds, it is also worthwhile dragging soil up around the base of the plants to give them extra support. I didn’t stake last year with catastrophic results!

Hopefully this winter won’t be as long and hard as last year which will enable us to get an early start next spring  If you are interested in an Allotment plot and are a resident of Taverham or Drayton please contact Mike Raw at TalgaRequests@gmail.com you can also reach us through our website or drop into the Parish Council Office.

Johnathan Cox (Trainee gardener)

entertained the meeting as Joyce Grenfell, who was known as a writer and performer at a time when it was unusual for a woman of her social background to work in those fields. Best remembered for her one-woman shows and monologues, in which she invented roles including a harassed nursery teacher ("George – don't do that").

September is the end of our financial year so it is a month of getting the accounts finalized and audited.

During October the officers have to write their reports of the year’s events that together with the financial statement are presented to the membership at the Annual Meeting in November. It has been an extremely busy and eventful year celebrating 60 years of Taverham WI and the reports will reflect the fun and friendship experienced by many of our members.

Reading the archived minutes for October 1958 it is interesting to note that preparation of the first AGM was discussed.

Auditors were appointed and refreshments were to be a cooperative effort. It must have been daunting for the then officers who may have been inexperienced in the official legal procedures to plan their inaugural AGM in November.

We currently have experienced officers but we are still anxious that we get it right and there will definitely be refreshments organized by our wonderful catering team.

The programme for the next two meetings: October 12th: November 9th

Stan Chapman – Magistrates in England 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.

other areas they experienced over the week were: Adventure Fields, Fairground, Boardwalk Arcade, Circus skills and Circus Showtime. There was plenty for them to do other than the above within the Market Place and they could complete different badges by visiting the various sub-camps and completing a task and when all the tasks were completed they got another badge. The girls were entertained in the evenings with various acts in the Main Arena and on Wednesday night Taverham Band played - Last Nights of the Proms, which was absolutely fantastic and not only enjoyed by the contingents but leaders as well, waving their flags in appreciation. So all in all a fantastic experience for all our guides and we look forward to 2022!

Next month I hope to report some good news with regards to our Brownie units, but in the meantime, if you have some spare time and wish to help out in a guiding unit, then please email me: Christine Chapman: chrischapmanmail@gmail.com

TAVERHAM AND THORPE MARRIOTT GUIDES GO TO NORJAM 11 – 18 August 1st Thorpe Marriott, 1st and 2nd Taverham Guides have just returned from camping for a week at

Norjam 2018. This is an International Camp for Scouts, Guides, Senior Section and Rangers held every four years at the Norfolk Showground. Up to 5,000 attend this week long camp, along with Scouts and Guides from all over the UK and the World.

Our three units joined together and the planning started two years ago, on our return from our trip to Paris Disneyland.

We have been fundraising by bagpacking, holding quiz n chip evenings and the guides and their leaders managed to purchase hoodies, t-shirts, all printed again for us from Steve at Norwich t-shirt printers in the Dixon Centre, thanks again, fantastic design as usual.

Our week commenced with us erecting our tents on our allotted site within the 90’s sub-camp, which was one of six sub-camps on the site, each depicting a different era. On Saturday evening the opening ceremony began the week long camp and everyone assembled in the Main Arena, so what a sight for everyone all together with their different flags from each group.

On Monday our programme started with Bounce & Rebound, Out & About and the Craft Warehouse.

The girls would go off to the different areas during the morning and afternoon returning to our campsite area for their meals.

Throughout the week the girls went on a day off site – we went to Pleasurewood Hills, but some of our 90’s sub-camp went to Duxford Museum and Colchester Zoo, we could choose our day off activity day. Then

RECIPE: Norfolk Fool (1664 Robert May)

This month I thought that I would show you a dessert Norfolk recipe from the! 17th Century. (In modern English although some descriptions are unclear!) If you would like to see the original recipe, this can be found online.

Ingredients: 284ml Double Cream, ¼ tspn Nutmeg, ¼ tspn ground Cinnamon, 2 medium egg yolks, Slices of wholemeal bread, Sugar (if required) For the Garnish: Toasted breadcrumbs, 3-4 dates sliced, 3-4 almond biscuits (crumbed), Sugar (if required) Method: 1. Boil the milk with the nutmeg and cinnamon then simmer for a few minutes.

2. Let it cool a little and add the egg yolks (so that the eggs won’t scramble) 3. Cover your dish base with some of the bread slices and pour on ¼ of the cream mix.

4. Repeat the process until full.

5. Garnish the dish with the breadcrumbs, biscuit crumbs, dates and sugar (if required) 6. Place in the fridge until cool and thickened.

Recipe from Laura Vaughan, Business owner of “Cook from Scratch” where clients learn how to cook in their own home.

Taverham Youth Centre Hello Readers, We hope you are all settled back into your school/work routines and got a great half term planned.

During August the club was closed so we have no photos or news to share. Therefore I would like to take the opportunity to thank our great staff team for all their hard work and dedication during the past year; Paul for his work on a Tuesday, Sarah, Estella, Justine, Callum, Chloe and Holly for their support on a Wednesday and Thelma for her work on a Friday. If not for their commitment to the clubs we could not open and provide the valued service within the community.

During the holidays we purchased and had installed a new cooker. We would like to thank the manager at PC World/Currys for the £20 discount they gave us. The saving is appreciated For new members the first session is FREE then £1 entry thereafter. This includes access to/use of all the facilities (pool, table tennis, Xbox, WII, air hockey, table football, tuck shop) and free refreshments. We welcome all young people regardless of ethnicity, ability or religious background.

If you would like to get involved or any other details about our projects please contact Kerry at kjyouthwork@hotmail.co.uk or call/text on 07887 950002 The clubs are opening times can be found in the Village Hall listings on page 27.

Kerry Johnson

attended the Norfolk International Scout Jamboree or NORJAM as it is better known, held every 4 years at the Norfolk Showground. As is our tradition, we walked from our hut to the camp, with some of this being done in our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes, to fit with the camps theme.

Whilst we were at the camp, the scouts took part in

lots of different activities, including go carts, clay pigeon shooting, climbing, raft building and much more. In the evenings we were entertained by various bands and DJs, including a visit from the ever wonderful Taverham Band! To finish the week, we enjoyed a fireworks display.

We now look forward to an exciting new term filled with activities and next year’s summer camp to Gilwell Park, Head Quarters of UK Scouting.

TAVERHAM DISTRICT COUNCILORS’ REPORT

TAVERHAM HISTORY SOCIETY The Annual General Meeting of the Taverham History Society will be held at the Taverham Village Hall on Wednesday 17th October 2018 at 7.30pm. This will be followed by a short compilation of archive films of people and places in and around Norfolk.

Springfield Wood will be having maintenance done in the next 2 months. Dead branches will be felled and undergrowth cleared. Dog fouling is still very bad in the wood. Some people do pick up after their dogs but then leave the poo bags at the exit on Sandy Lane! Please take the filled bags to the bins provided.

A gate has been put up on the Sandy Lane exit. Hopefully this will stop dogs, cats and children running into the road.

Recycling Broadland is number 1 in Norfolk for recycling rates (50.9%). Rejection rates are still too high and 11% is rejected e.g. dirty nappies, unwashed tins, plastic bottles which have not been washed, also clothes and metal objects. Please do not put clothes into the green bins. There are clothes banks at the shops in Thorpe Marriott and at Tesco in Drayton.

Marriott’s Way 10k run will take place on the 7th October. It starts at Aylsham and finishes at Reepham. This year there will be a children’s race of 1 mile. The start for this is before the main race.

Speeding is still an issue in Taverham. Cars and motorbikes race each other up and down Sandy Lane.

Kingswood Avenue is another black spot. The police are aware but as we are short of man power, especially as we do not have any PCSO’s this is taking low priority.

Please contact us with any issue: Claudette Bannock, (S) 861243; Stuart Clancy, (S) 754148 David Wilmot, (N) 07909537237 Andrew Mallet, (N) 07842525816

Don’t miss this opportunity to find out more about your History Society and our planned events and activities for 2019. Last year you all welcomed and appreciated similar archive films and it is hoped you will also find these enjoyable, just as much as the AGM, of course.

At the time of going to press everyone had yet to receive the intriguing presentation relating to a Bishop, a Quaker and a roll of wire netting by Barbara Miller which I am sure will have been enjoyed by all, more next month.

Of equal interest will be the presentation by Chris Armstrong entitled, Mustard, Boots and Beer, on 21st November, make a note now for our final event of the year.

Should you have a question or wish for further information about the society and its activities you are welcome to contact us by email taverhamhistorysociety@yahoo.com Bill Warnes, Chairman

Scent-A-Barks Doggy Day Care

NORFOLK KNITTERS

www.scentabarks.co.uk Norwich’s first Dog Day Care Centre has opened in Taverham. Scent-a-Barks doggy Day Care is a custom-designed dog haven, which offers private and secure indoor and outdoor facilities for your fourlegged friend. It gives dogs the chance to socialise, play and get truly spoilt while you are at work or away.

The 1400 sq. ft. bespoke centre offers up to 8 hours of mental and physical stimulation a day, and a team of qualified staff who engage in fun activities for the dogs.

Owner, Stacy Morris, has transformed the interior of the unit to include bespoke areas, where dogs can be grouped based on temperament and personality. These include an active arena, which offers free-roam fun and a chill out zone.

Stacy Morris, 07801943072 or hello@scentabarks.co.uk

Norfolk Knitters have just celebrated their tenth year with a special open day at the Norwich Wool Loft. New projects are always welcome alongside the constant need for warm clothing and blankets. Here at Taverham some of our members have been producing yellow rabbits with sad and happy designs to match a story book, ‘Zoë and the Time Rabbit', specially produced for children of the Armed Forces whose fathers may be absent for some time. Others are involved in producing essential backpack items for the homeless or those recently released from prison and beanie hats and neck buffs for a cycling project.

If you would like to join us you'd be made very welcome at Hink's Meadow Hall on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month from 1;30 -3:30pm.

www.taverhamband.org Musical Director - Ian Colman MBE, 868680, Ian.Colman@taverhamband.org

Beautiful Bailey visited us as she had stopped eating and was lethargic at home.

Our initial examination revealed she was very painful in her abdomen with an unusually high heart rate.

We admitted Bailey for further tests and supportive treatment. These included inhouse blood tests, an abdominal scan and intravenous fluid therapy.

Bailey’s test results and scan revealed she was suffering from a condition known as a Pyometra – an infection in the uterus. This condition can be life threatening. If left untreated dehydration, collapse and death from septic shock can occur.

Bailey’s blood pressure and blood glucose levels were dangerously low – she required surgery to remove her infected uterus but her condition needed stabilizing before she could be taken to surgery. This was achieved by using a special type of fluid therapy and intensive monitoring of her condition by our team.

Once Bailey was stable enough she was taken to surgery and vet Jo removed her infected uterus successfully. Her blood pressure was maintained before and after surgery using intravenous fluid therapy. She was given intravenous pain relief, antibiotics and antiemetic’s (anti-sickness drugs) and her blood glucose and blood pressure levels were continually monitored throughout her recovery over a 24-hour period.

Thankfully after a short stay in intensive care Bailey started to show signs of improvement – tucking into some chicken and soon wanting to go outside for a walk again!

We are pleased to report Bailey is continuing to recover well at home.

PYOMETRA IN DOGS A pyometra is a uterine infection where the womb fills with pus. This usually occurs in older female entire dogs, although it can occur at any age. It is often caused by the bacteria E.coli and most commonly occurs a few weeks after a season.

Symptoms include not eating, lethargy and drinking lots. In some cases there may be vaginal discharge.

Spaying female dogs prevents pyometra. If your dog displays any of the symptoms it is advised to contact your vet immediately.

Supported by: IC Travel, 3-Line Electrical, Ichthyos Ltd, 101 Website Design, Arnolds Keys & First Aid at Work (Norfolk) This is a chance for the band to reflect on a very busy summer. After the highlight of playing at Windsor Castle, we went on to play to several thousand Scouts and Guides at the famous Norjam event at the Showground. This was a marvellous evening with the band thumping out tunes to send the young crowd into a frenzy. A party atmosphere ensued to tunes such as “Amarillo” and “500 miles”. What a night!

The day before, we had the honour of playing at Cromer Carnival. A large audience heard the band in the amazing acoustics of Cromer Parish Church. It is never easy taking a thirty-piece band on the road midweek. Here is a flavour of what is involved: The percussion section arrived early and most had to sneak away from work early to achieve it. Before the set up, we headed for the seafront to enjoy a fish and chip supper. Then it was time to set up Taverham Band’s large percussion section. There is an array of Timpani, xylophones, glocks and a full drum kit to get into the Church. This set up is the envy of many other Brass Bands. The rest of the band then arrives to set up the stands and, normally, the music stand lights (on this occasion the lights did not make it for reasons unknown!). Hence the concert commenced with the band studying the music “extra hard” under the church lights! This concentration only seemed to enhance the concert as the band ripped through an amazing selection of tunes. This included Mission Impossible, Bewitched, Out of the Blue (Radio’s football results tune!), Star Wars, Mama Mia and the rousing 633 Squadron. The finale was the very fast version of Lord of the Dance which sent the carnival crowd home happy. After the show it is the big clear up, before the band headed home for a well-deserved sleep. If you have not heard the band before, we would love to see you – check out our next gigs at www.taverhamband.org

Sorry I meant Women Rule!!

As I’ve probably earlier reported our club president this year is Lion Sue Howes, now in the top seat for the third time and for the very first time we have a lady regional governor, Mandy Hawksley, leading the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. Well, that is now topped by the first ever lady international president in the 100 year history of Lions and that honour falls to Gudrun Yngvadottir of the Gardabaer club of Iceland. All three ladies deserve their appointments and your local Taverham Lions Club wishes each of them a successful term of office, because we are all equal members irrespective of gender, race etc.………….However, I can’t be beaten at golf again by!!!

Formation of Reepham Club: As a club we have been actively supporting a core of keen people in Reepham to help them establish a club in that area and it is not a quick process but the interest is there, with a group of 15-20 people already registering their support. Over 30 years ago we had the City of Norwich Lions Club support our endeavour to establish a local club and we like to think that in those years we have achieve some good for local and international communities. More recently we helped the new Sheringham and Cromer club start up and that was with the excellent liaison and leadership of club member Trevor Smith, so our fingers are crossed for the birth of a new club for the good people of Reepham.

Finally I have to apologise that you didn’t get a report for the September newsletter and I honesty can’t remember why not but then sitting here plonking away on the key board I haven’t a clue what I did yesterday. My only solace is that no one has complained. However, I’m not sure if the latest print has been delivered yet!!

DRAYTON HORTICULTURAL ASSOCIATION “Once upon a time”, in the 70’s and 80’s, a number of our members were enthusiastic growers of sweet peas. The club belonged to the National Sweet Pea Society who provided us with information and also an award for the winners of the sweet pea classes included in our Autumn Shows. Sadly the interest in this plant faded and we withdrew from the Society. However, our speaker in August was Geoff Freeman who told us the history of the plant, which is now having a revival. It was first recorded by a monk in Sicily in 1699, but many years later a man from South America claimed that he had found a new flower which was exactly the same, as proved by a DNA test. Nearer to home another variety of the plant was bred by the Spencer family at Althorp Hall in Northamptonshire.

To grow good plants takes a lot of time, watering every day, dead-heading, taking off tendrils and unnecessary leaves, depending on what you want – long or short ones, with at least four flowers on the stem for showing. Geoff’s persuasion was very noticeable and he encouraged members to join the society as individuals – we shall see.

The title of the talk by our speaker Jamie Blake this month is quite intriguing – “The Weeding of the 5,000 with two Hoes and five Wishes”. If you want to find out more come and join us on Tuesday October 2nd at 7.30pm in Drayton Village Hall – you will be most welcome. Reports of our Autumn Show will be included next month.

THE NORWICH ELECTRONIC ORGAN & KEYBOARD CLUB

We meet on the last Tuesday of the month at Drayton Village Hall, with entertainment from top professional organists from around the country. The evening starts at 7:30pm, there is an interval with refreshments and a raffle, and it finishes at 10pm.

There is no membership fee, entrance is £6.

Tuesday 28th August – Tim Flint I announced in the June issue that Tim would be visiting our club and ‘‘we are expecting some excellent music delivered with much dry humour’’ – well, not surprisingly, that was exactly what we got. Tim still plays his Roland Atelier AT900C, much travelled, much used and much appreciated by us (the audience), plus he still has the same sense of humour.

A very varied programme of light classics, big band, brass band, popular old ballad standards and theatre and jazz organ styles pretty much sums up the whole evening but worthy of extra mention was Robert Farnon’s Portrait of a Flirt, John Barry’s film theme from Out of Africa, Voices of Spring and an excellent piano rendition of Too Marvellous for Words in the style of Erroll Garner.

Tim finished off the evening with his signature tune Muskrat Ramble and an encore of The Comedian’s Gallop. It was all accompanied with Tim’s own brand of humour making a very pleasant and enjoyable evening of entertainment.

Tuesday October 30th – Phil Brown: International organist Phil Brown has been on the organ circuit since the 1980s, plays regularly for dancing and is an accomplished pianist. He hasn’t visited our club for quite a few years so we look forward to what he offers this time.

Do come and join us, you will be very welcome.

Norwich Community Choir plan to end 10th anniversary year on a high with a unique adaptation of Allegri’s Miserere Norwich Community Choir is busy rehearsing for its tenth anniversary concert.

This charity event will be held at Norwich Cathedral and songs will include the choir’s exclusive version of Allegri’s Miserere. This is a challenging piece for a Community Choir, as there are no auditions and many members can’t read music.

Meg Turpin, the choir leader says: “It’s very unusual for a Community Choir to tackle a piece like this.

This ambitious reworking of Allegri’s masterpiece preserves the mood and sensuality of the original, whilst bringing it into the present with poignant lyrics taken from the words of our choir members expressing their feelings about belonging to the choir.”

The choir has grown and developed from humble beginnings in 2008 to present a diverse and polished repertoire. The concert programme, performed entirely from memory, will also include many heart-warming songs and some festive anthems.

Proceeds from the event will go to Nelson’s Journey, a Norfolk charity which supports bereaved children and young people. Sarah Hyde, Community Funding Officer for Nelson’s Journey, told us: “We’re thrilled that Norwich Community Choir has chosen to support us in its 10th anniversary year. It joins other wonderful fundraisers supporting us in our 20th anniversary year. Thank you to everyone involved.”

The Cathedral Concert takes place on Saturday 24th November at 7:30pm. Tickets £10 and can be purchased by calling Ivan on 07423 118876 or from www.ticketsource.co.uk/norwich-communitychoir Sue Rowland

FACING IT TOGETHER The FIT Club is run fortnightly on Thursdays at Drayton Village Hall from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. for widows and widowers. If you are lonely then please come along for a friendly chat and refreshments. Try you luck with our raffle and enjoy the entertainment, talks and day trips out.

Our October meetings: 11th – Bingo & Hoy after Fish & Chips Lunch; 25th – David Reeve (Royals).

If you have any questions or would like to find out more information please give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you.

www.wvbs.co.uk In early August we branched out and our outdoor meeting was primarily devoted to butterflies and dragonflies. Barry Pummell led us around the delightful Wheatfen reserve, not far from Norwich.

The meeting had to be rearranged as the original date was wet and windy – not good for flying insects. The new date was the opposite – hot and humid amid the reeds. But it brought forth a wealth of insects, including the Swallowtail butterfly and close views of Willow Emerald Damselfly, a new arrival in the county. Heading back to the car park Barry took us on a short detour for his piece de resistance, a beautiful Silver Washed Fritillary which gracefully posed for us on various flowers and bushes – a fitting end to a great morning. All in all, 15 species of butterfly were seen and 9 dragonfly, with an additional 3 moth species. Birds were scarce, although some of us did manage to see 3 Buzzards. Our indoor meeting was a very friendly social evening where we all brought a plate of (excellent) food and sat outside enjoying the wonderful weather.

Future events: Indoor meetings are held on Thursday evenings at Great Witchingham Village Hall, Lenwade, at 7:30pm. All are welcome. (£2 for non-members). 18th October – Hawk and Owl Trust update on Peregrines and Sculthorpe Moor. 15th November – Arizona to Alaska with David Mason Field trips: Sunday 28th October – Hoe Bird Walk.
