 As some of you may be aware, but most of you probably aren't, Sunday afternoons have seen (and heard) some very good acoustic music on the patio at The Railway. Recent weeks have seen Talisman (a very good local outfit), Anto Morra, Ken Connor, Wendy Benefer and Mike Nooth all giving of their best i a variety of musical styles.
If you have missed the occasions, shame on you, I can't think of a better way to spend a few hours on a warm Sunday afternoon than having a good cool pint listening to relaxing music.
Coming up this month, patio, bar and Tracks:

Report
North Elmham travelled to the picturesque setting of Ketteringham Hall to take on the hosts "A" team. Returning skipper Chris Palmer won the toss and had no hessitation in batting first. Ant Keeble was out early but Grant King and Stephan Malherbe progressed the score to 86 in the 18th over before Malherbe was bowled for 44. King was joined by Palmer and with so much time left the skipper was able to play himself in whilst King was severe on anything off line reaching his fifty from 63 balls. At the half way point the score was 135. The partnership flourished with King hitting the ball to all parts as the host bowlers wilted in the heat. King reached his century from 108 balls and shortly afterwards Palmer passed fifty from 62 balls.

The monthly Parish Council meeting was held in the Sports Pavilion with Caroline Payne in the Chair and four parishioners attending.
In public participation time, a resident from number 23 Eastgate Street put forward objections to planning proposals for an extension to number 21, the next door property, which was in every way too large and intrusive in a row of small cottages. The Chairman said that these views would be taken into account when planning applications were considered later in the meeting. Mrs. Linda Richmond gave an update on progress following the Parish Plan questionnaire. There had been a very good response, with many people adding extra suggestions and points of view. Paper returns were now in the process of being added to the computer records.
COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH:
Documentation papers had been received from the police together with forms to be filled in by volunteers to run the scheme. Once these had been received by the police, a training session will be set up. Because of heavy demand, there could be quite a wait for the training to commence. Enquiries would be made as to who would be responsible for risk assessment and insurance.

I have been on holiday abroad several times both with and without my dear husband. Everything has gone smoothly and apart from one small mishap with a suitcase, all has been well.
Not so this year - I ventured to Tenerife with my son, daughter in law and 2 little girls for a fortnight in the sun. The first week passed well, if a little hot - they were experiencing an unseasonable heat wave around 32 but we coped with shade, cold drinks and lots of ins and outs of the pool. After a visit to the ocean depths to see mantas, in a yellow submarine, I retired to rest in the afternoon and woke feeling very uncomfortable with griping stomach pains. They lasted all night and were worse by the next morning so we ventured to ask the hotel what they recommended by way of contacting a doctor. Upon their suggestion we took a five minute taxi ride to a Hospital and explained the problem.

 I read with interest the article in your June magazine on the North Elmham Village sign. I was 10 years old in 1964 when our small village school closed at Billingford. I therefore spent my last year at primary school in North Elmham, My three children sent all their primary school years at North Elmham and I was quite convinced that Mrs Dawson, the Head Teacher when I was a pupil, was still haunting me whenever I attended a school function during their year there. Yes, that year spent at North Elmham was the worst of my school life. Thankfully things had changed somewhat by the time my children attended.
From North Elmham I went to the secondary school at Dereham for a year where I was lucky enough to pass the 11 or 12 plus as it was called in those days to then go to the grammar school at Swaffham where I spent 7 years from 1966. The maker of the North Elmham village sign, Mr Harry Carter, spent five years in vain trying to teach me Art. However he and I both knew very early on that it was a complete waste of time so I spent most of every art lesson doing very little. As a choice subject I also did woodwork for about a year and "Harry" as he was affectionately known (although not to his face), covered that subject as well and I do remember the village signs standing in his workshop. These were not only ones under construction at the time but also those he had back to refurbish.
