Welcome… to the latest edition of

THE STRATTON & TASBURGH BOOK… Hooray, British Summer Time has returned!

Following the Easter Holidays, hopefully we can expect slightly warmer weather here in the Norfolk Broads…

Should you be looking to get a little more active, there are always things taking place in and around the fourteen villages covered by THE STRATTON & TASBURGH BOOK. If you’re an organiser, remember to send us details and we’ll help you promote your event FREE of charge in our ‘Community Events & What’s On’ pages.

Oh, and a quick “Good Luck” message to the 1200 dedicated runners taking to the 9:30am start line of The Norfolk Marathon on Sunday 28th April. The finish line is breathtaking; a stunning view of the sea at Cromer Pier. Spectators welcome!

Back to this edition; Guest celebrity is TV host Jay Blades MBE (pictured below) and The Repair Shop team - see centre pages…

Enjoy April & May!...
