Here we are in June and the month ahead promises to be an eventful one, with a number of celebrations taking place in the area in honour of HRH
Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday on 11th June. The Coltishall WI is organising a display inside Coltishall Church, while the Red Lion is holding a street-style birthday tea party that will coincide with the launch of the Big Red Lion Bus Bar.
June will also be an interesting (unless you’re already fed up with it!) month from a political point of view, with the referendum concerning the UK’s EU membership being held on Thursday 23rd. Whether you are in the
IN or the OUT camp, or still undecided – don’t forget to vote!
Later in the month the Jubilee Players will be putting on a production of Emlyn Williams’ psychological thriller, “Night Must Fall”, which will see the
Tithe Barn transformed from theatre into polling station and back again.
Details of these and all the month’s other events can be found on our “What’s On” calendar, and within the magazine. This month also features a
plea from Coltishall and Horstead Preschool, which is in search of alternative premises; keep reading to find out more.
Unfortunately we also have some sad news to report, concerning one of
our regular contributors. The September 2014 issue of The Marlpit featured the first “20 Questions” quiz compiled by self-confessed quiz and crossword fanatic Harriet Pelissier. Harriet used to enjoy setting quizzes for fellow patients at the Jack Prior Clinic in the NNUH, which she attended three
times a week for dialysis – including special sets for events such as Christmas, Hallowe’en and Easter – and she contacted The Marlpit to ask if we would be interested in printing a readers’ quiz each month. We were sad to learn that Harriet passed away in the NNUH on 29th April, aged 70,
and we shall certainly miss publishing her quiz questions. Harriet’s friends and family are in our thoughts at this sad time, and The Marlpit will be making a donation in her memory to the NNUH Renal Unit.
Finally, may we remind you that The Marlpit has reverted to 10 issues per year, which means that the August and September issues will be rolled into one. Copy for this bumper issue will be required before 15th July at the latest.
Thank you for reading – we hope that you find the June issue both interesting and enjoyable!

SANDERS X55 BUS SERVICE
As from September most of the buses will revert back to Westbourne/ Rectory roads. From the information received it is believed that the workers bus times will still come through the village to make sure there are no hold ups.
As it takes 8 weeks for a change in timetable to go through this is the earliest time available. Many thanks to all that have enabled this to happen.
Updates will be available as and when they occur.

Notes From Horstead with Stanninghall Parish Council – May
IntroductionHello again. My first month as Clerk to the Parish Council has been really busy. I've been getting to know the parish councillors as well as attending the usual Parish Council meetings and training sessions led by the Society of Local Council Clerks. The training session on finance
was invaluable as we are in the process of putting together the End of Year accounts. If you wish to speak to me I can be contacted via the parish council website, email me at [email protected] or telephone: 07476 952824. If you do leave a message, please remember to leave your name and contact number so I can get back to you.
The Neighbourhood PlanThe Neighbourhood Plan continues to progress well. The questionnaire will include artwork provided by the Primary school. Mr Simpson has been in contact with community groups and the web and Facebook pages have been designed. Quotes are currently being obtained for printing and delivery of the questionnaires.
The Playing FieldWork to replace some fence posts and wiring has been completed along with the replacement of the post the bin was attached to. The mystery of the open gate has also been solved. The post the gate closed to was wobbly, because it was rotting in the ground as we later discovered. Due to this the gate clasp could be moved beyond the padlock without undoing the lock. The post has been replaced and all is now looking secure. From the time I have spent around the playground I'm pleased to report that it looks as if it is being well used. It is regularly inspected by a member of the Parish Council, but if you spot anything which could be improved please let me know. I'm sure those of you with a closer relationship to the users will know what is most enjoyed and what may give you cause for concern. Horstead MillFollowing the tree survey, some of the ivy has been removed and more will be removed later in the year when we are less likely to disturb the wildlife. Once again our green rubbish bin has gone for a swim, however, I hope by the time you read this it will have been re-located. If you do spot that this or the lifebuoys aren't in their correct places please let me know.
PlanningThe Council considered application 20160721 for Cedar Lodge on Hall Road. Further information is being sought from Broadland District Council regarding this and application 20151848 to which the Parish Council had no objection to granting back in December 2015.
Police and SNAP reportsWe received both the SNAP report and Annual Crime report this month. We were advised that in total Norfolk Police received 98 calls from Horstead Parish to their Control & Dispatch Centre at Wymondham compared to 151 last year. 45 of those 98 calls were Road Traffic related. In total 21 crimes were recorded in the Parish compared to 23 last year.
HighwaysThe rutted muddy grass verge along the B1150 has been reported to Highways and they should have been to inspect it by the time you read this.Stanninghall Road is not suitable for HGV's as walkers, cyclists and residents of Stanninghall will tell you. We are in discussions with Stanninghall Quarry regarding the route their lorries take and are looking to see if the road signage can be made clearer.
Annual Parish MeetingThe Annual Meeting for residents of Horstead with Stanninghall took place in the parish
church on 5th May. Once again very few members of the public attended. We consider this to be an indication that we are doing a good job in representing the parish. I'm sure if you had a concern we'd be hearing from you, which we always welcome.
Date and time of next meeting:
Wednesday 8th June at 6.15pm in the Hayloft in the Tithe Barn

COLTISHALL SURGERY
BUILDING WORKS.
These are ongoing and are due for completion in May. For further information there is a notice board in the surgery and also a notice on the website. Until works are completed there will be limited parking, patients are asked to use the Village Hall car park if possible allowing those less mobile to use the few spaces that are still available
Our clubs grateful thanks go to the Eastern Daily Press for their Community Chest Vouchers scheme, from which we received £250. This award has helped towards the purchase of new equipment and extra club shirts.
Our league season has got off to a slow start. Our first scheduled match was cancelled due to our opponents late withdrawal from the league. To the date of writing we have had just two North Walsham league matches, both of which have resulted in good wins for our club.

COLTISHALL PARISH COUNCIL
Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting
held at the Village Hall 11th April 2016
Speedwatch. There are currently six volunteers, supported by co-ordinator Ann Watson. The Police team would like six sessions per month, but due to the shortage of volunteers only two are possible. New volunteers are very much needed; they would have to sign the necessary papers. There was an upsurge in parents’ interest following the accident in North Walsham Road, but no new volunteers were forthcoming.
HMP Bure Mr Kenny Woods, Head of Operations, was welcomed to the meeting. He reported that deployment from HMP Bure to other prisons had now ended, in part due to the closure of Blundeston prison. Staff from there had been deployed to other prisons, easing the pressure on staff. Mr Woods was pleased to note that the prison is considered a good neighbour by local communities. .
RAF Liaison Group Keith Childerhouse reported that he and Mike Warren attended the last meeting in mid-2015, and now receive little information except via the EDP. Norfolk County Council is working with several interested parties to use areas of the base including the solar farm, heritage area, and the cycle track, and establishing which buildings will be retained and which demolished. Colt Jags will be using the new cycle track when it is completed. Traffic generated by the solar farm has been a particular problem, particularly during the first contract. Issues have abated somewhat during the second contract.
Village Hall and Recreation Ground Charity Doreen Snelling thanked the regular users on behalf of the directors for their support in the last year. Users include the preschool, Vibe fitness, short mat bowls, Dancezenery, the Youth Forum, Zumba, Guides, the Good Neighbours scheme, outdoor bowls, and Sporting Londale football team. Football teams of young girls and young boys are doing well. Junior birthday parties are popular. There have been several acts of vandalism resulting in damage to doors at both the football and cricket pavilions. Mike Warren was thanked for arranging new doors. The bollard on the football field was also damaged and will be replaced, and the hand rail at the village hall is awaiting repair following vandalism. Police have increased patrols as a result. The clerk was thanked for her support during a difficult year, and wished well.
Reports from village organisations
Allotments. Mr and Mrs Ambrose had recently taken over as Chairman and Vice-Chairman, and were finding their feet with help from the clerk. Two prospective committee members have come forward, and it is hoped that allotment-holders will take a more active interest in the management of the allotments. Vacant plots had been advertised in the Marlpit, so only one is currently vacant. Mr Saville was thanked for providing a map of allotments.
Tree Warden. Peter Croot reported that ash dieback – chalara fraxinea – is decimating ash trees nationwide, including in Coltishall. It is estimated that 90 – 95% of all ash trees will be infected and/or dead within five years. The John Innes Centre in Norwich is, amongst other organisations, researching the cause of the fungus and a possible cure, but it is unlikely to have answers for another ten years. It may be necessary to plant other species of trees to fill the gaps left by dead ash trees. Mr Croot thanked Stephen Chesney-Beales from Broadland DC for supplying new trees for the apple orchard and to the Trefoil Guild (former guides). He also thanked Bill Musson, Michael Spinks, Brian Abbs, and Jeremy Sinclair for their work on the apple orchard.
Short mat bowls. The club plays in two leagues, but
struggles to keep up numbers despite efforts to attract younger players, and advertisements in the Marlpit.
Good Neighbour Scheme. Doreen Snelling said that the scheme is flourishing and fund-raising events are well-supported, although more volunteer drivers are needed. A defibrillator had been purchased, and the illuminated storage cabinet had been bought with help from village organisations including the Parish Council and the Commons Trust. It will be installed at the Post Office.
Prospective councillors. Mike Warren was pleased to introduce two prospective councillors
Chairman’s report. Robert Watson apologised for arriving late to the meeting. This would be his last meeting as Chairman, as he will resign at the May meeting. He thanked all councillors for their support and comradeship during his time of office; although councillors do not always agree, and there is sometimes lively debate, he considers that the council is hands-on with a good deal of unanimity and goodwill. He thanked Mike Warren and the clerk for their friendship and support despite the difficult year they had both had. They had continued to serve above and beyond their duties. John Harding was a hard act to follow; Robert Watson began his tenure with two aims – to establish a more rigid governance and to integrate disparate groups. He and the clerk both undertook training and are now CiLCA qualified, enabling them to set up formal protocols which have regularised council procedures. The second aim was more challenging. All village groups and organisations have the best intentions for the village, and would be so much more successful if we worked together. Mr Mallett praised Robert Watson for the manner in which he has conducted parish council business during the past five years. He had contributed so much to the village, and striven to improve village life. A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr Mallett, seconded by Peter Croot, unanimous. Mike Warren would also not stand for re-election due to health issues, as he felt he could not work for the village as he would wish. Fresh blood would bring new impetus to the council, and he thanked councillors and parishioners for their support. He was warmly thanked for his work a Vice-Chairman.
Meeting closed at 9.00pm. Next meeting is the Parish Council
Meeting on Monday 16th May 2016 in the Village Hall Lounge at 7.30pm

Coltishall and Horstead WI Litter pick 2016
took place on 14th May, a cold windy but dry Saturday morning, not like last year when it poured. Members, with the help of a willing grandson collected 6 bags of litter from the streets of our villages before adjourning to the Piece of Cake for coffee.
Don’t wait for the WI to do it, take you litter home and why not help out by picking other bits up too..

Every once in awhile it is nice to read a novel situated close to home. The Secret Years is written by Judith Lennox and takes place in The Fens. I was originally
drawn to this book due to the recent floodings. This is a subject that plays heavily throughout the story line.
This book starts in 1914 and I was shocked to find how little progress has been made since then to alleviate the threat of flooding. There are four main characters, all children at the start of the novel. Nicholas and Lally are the children of the great
house and whose family controls the lives of everyone in the village. Their friendship with the blacksmith's son Daniel and the niece living with her two spinster aunts, Thomasine ebb and flow, tangle and struggle throughout the novel. A family heirloom goes missing in the mansion and accusations fly. At this point family dynamics play a major role and set the stage for the rest of the book. Combined with the wider events of history, the characters find themselves going down paths that they would not have chosen for themselves.
There is one character that seems to ruin everyone's life she touches. Mind her every move in the novel, you won't be disappointed. I was ready to reach through the pages of the book and throttle her! All of the characters struggle to escape the bonds that they were either born with or were created through their own deeds or the deeds of others.
The Great War has such a profound effect on the characters' lives that one would think that emotions and grudges from before would have little meaning. Surprisingly, instead, they intensify and warp, causing great damage. It all becomes clear in the end and believe it or not, there is a reasonably happy ending. This novel was very fulfilling, entertaining and well researched. This was my first reading of any of Judith Lennox but it won't be my last!

NIGHT MUST FALL
by Emlyn Williams
A psychological thriller set in 1930s Essex
Mrs Bramson, wheelchair bound and living in an isolated house surrounded by woods, is an overbearing and domineering hypochondriac. Her niece, Olivia, is at her beck and call as her paid companion, with Mrs Terence, the housekeeper and Dora, the maid, providing grudging service.
The routines of the household are thrown into disarray by the police search for a glamorous woman missing from a local hotel. Tensions increase when a gruesome discovery is made in a rubbish pit at the bottom of the garden.
The finger of suspicion points towards Hubert, Olivia’s amiable but unexciting suitor and Dan, bell boy at the hotel, who has seduced the maid, Dora, and insinuated his way into the household, charming Mrs Bramson with his flattery and apparent concern for her well-being.
But this play, with its incidents of humour as well as high drama, is not a straightforward whodunit. Night Must Fall is a psychological thriller full of intrigue, mind games, menace and the growing threat of something worse to come.
This production has been a challenge to stage, as thanks to Mr Cameron and the European
referendum, The Tithe Barn will become a polling station on Thursday 23rd June. In order to be able to transform the barn from theatre to polling station as easily as possible, the play will be simply set in the round, with performances on Tuesday 21st, Wednesday 22nd, and Friday 24th June
Whichever way you are planning to vote in the referendum, please vote IN for our production!

YOUR LETTERS;

Dear Marlpit Team
Blast from the Past - April
I have just been reading the April edition of the Marlpit. As I have informed you in several emails, including the one attached, the Jubilee Queen was my maternal grandmother, Florence Watts, who lived at the Rising Sun (they moved from there to Hazelwood). The king is not my grandfather, but possibly Mr. Rogers, who lived at Coltishall Hall.
Elizabeth Larsen
Whoops, another Compilation Howler, our editor who has apologised to Elizabeth must try harder….
Thank You – Stuart Griffiths
We would like to thank family, friends, neighbours, doctors, nurses and all those who know us, for the overwhelming messages of sympathy, cards, floral tributes and incredible support during and following their sad loss of Stuart Griffiths following a short illness due to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. We would also like to give special thanks to the staff of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for all of their dedication and incredible care; especially the consultants, doctors and nurses – some of whom have become our friends.
Everyone has been incredibly kind and continues to show such concern for us that we would like to express our grateful thanks to you all.
You are all so special to us.
Denise, Laura and Kris.

On Saturday 4 June at 7.30 pm the North Norfolk Chorale will give a summer concert at Salle church. The performance will include Brahms' German Requiem, sung in English. More details, including the guest soloists, will be announced on the
Chorale's website at:
north-norfolk chorale.co.uk shortly.

News from The Bell Tower, June
Last month I reported on a group of visitors attempting to ring a peal, which goes on for some long time and so these ringers always make a donation to the
Bell Tower, whether they ring for half an hour or longer, visitors always do this so it certainly helps us to be self sufficient with maintenance and for new ropes etc., when ever required.
What a busy month it was, we were asked to ring for the “Queen's Birthday” also St.Georges Day, among other
events. On Thursday 21st April Dr.Preston, who has lived in Coltishall for many years asked us if we would ring the bells in honour of his wife Molly, having been a very active and well loved member of the community for many years. We felt very privileged therefore to do this and hope that in some small way we helped the congregation to have their own personal happy memories of Molly, who will be greatly missed by
everyone.
At St.John's Church, the funeral of Stuart
Griffiths took place on Friday 22nd April, and we were approached to see if the bells could be rung before and after the service. Once again we would like to say what a privilege it was for us to ring the bells for Stuart and his family. On such sad occasions it really does seem to help to think of all the happiness he brought and to know that he is at peace now in our lovely church yard, always so full of flowers.
Our Monday practices are going very well, and we feel fortunate to have experienced ringers who are keen to help us along the way to improve our ringing at what ever standard we have reached, so we send our grateful thanks to them for their patience and understanding.
On Monday 2nd April, our practice night was going well when our very own Ringing Master (Mike Gander's )mobile rang and it was the news that he and his lovely wife Brenda had become grand parents again, a little baby girl and all was well, such good news. Later on the phone rang again, and being a very quick
witted lot we bell ringers are , we all shouted out “Twins” but no, this time giving us the weight etc., and the fact that as it was an early birth, no name had yet been decided upon. We thought as her grand dad was ringing those bells at the time of the birth how about Bella, Belinda or Annabel, but we mustn't get carried away and just offer our congratulations to the happy couple and so pleased that all went well.
Coltishall Garage Sale Sunday September 11th. St John's Church will also be open as well with various stalls, refreshments, Tea/Coffee, cakes etc. Trips to the top of the tower will be arranged, so you can chime those bells, see how the clock works, take pictures of the lovely panoramic views from the roof top. Put this date n your diary now so you do not forget!Look forward to seeing you there.
Looking forward to ringing the bells at St.John's Church for all those very special occasions, until next time, enjoy your ringing.

With their League programme completed the Vikings rounded off their season by retaining the Woodforde's Norfolk
Senior Cup with an emphatic 40 - 0 win over Diss (pictured); in the semi final they had overwhelmed Norwich 68 -12. This Cup is entered by Norfolk's four leading sides: Diss, Holt, Norwich and North Walsham. With the latter playing in a higher League than the others there was the opportunity for some giant killing, but in neither game did that ever look likely. The Final was part of "Norfolk's Big Rugby Day" where all the finals, seven in total, of the Norfolk cup competitions took place on the same day at Crusaders Rugby Club. Also in action were the Raiders who lost in the 2nd XV final to Holt 2nds 33-19, their first defeat since early October.The Youth and Minis section completed another very enjoyable season. The undefeated Under 12s side were introduced to the crowd at the Norwich
game; their achievements included winning the "Leicester Tigers Land Rover Premiership Cup", meaning they will take their place in the "Parade of Champions" before a capacity Twickenham crowd at the Aviva Premiership Final on 28 May. Three Youth sides won county or regional competitions, with the Colts (under 18s) the latest. They won the Eastern Counties Plate Cup defeating Colchester 26 -24 in a pulsating final, so emulating both the Under 16s and Under 13s who won Norfolk Cup competitions. Attention now turns to the Rugby Sevens and Beer Festival at Scottow on Sunday 29 May, when there will be sevens rugby all
day. Twenty teams have entered the Men's tournament, eight the Women's and there is a touch rugby competition too. The action starts at 11.00am with the last match - the Men's Final - scheduled for 6.20 pm, so ending before 7.00pm. A wide range of food and drink will be available all day including a barbecue, hog roast , twenty Norfolk ales, ciders and a Pimms Tent; breakfasts available from 8.00am. There will be music throughout the day, a children's playground and ample free parking. Admission is £3, with children free.

Victims of stalking in Norfolk are being urged to seek help as a national campaign aimed at highlighting the issue gets under way.
The purpose of National Stalking Awareness Week, which takes place this week, is to encourage those who believe they are being targeted to speak out.
Detective Superintendent Julie Wvendth, of Norfolk Constabulary’s Safeguarding and Investigations Command, said: "Stalking often has a huge emotional impact on the victim who can feel very much alone and unable to seek help for fear of repercussions or that they will not be taken seriously.
"However we would ask that if you have concerns you come forward. You shouldn't feel as though you're wasting our time or that you're over-reacting.
Stalking is repeated unwanted contact from one person to another, which
demonstrates either a fixation or obsession and causes the victim to feel alarm, distress or fear of violence. It may involve personal contact but also via the phone, email, letter or social media.
Types of stalking behaviour:Taken in isolation, events might seem unremarkable. But in particular circumstances and with repetition, they take on a more sinister meaning.
Unwanted communications may include telephone calls, letters, emails, faxes, texts, messages on social networking sites, graffiti or sending or leaving unsolicited gifts.
Unwanted intrusions include following, waiting for, spying on, approaching and going to a person's home. A stalker may also order or cancel goods or services, make complaints (to legitimate bodies), damage property or follow and try to talk to you online (cyberstalking).
Advice for victims:Keep a record of what happened, where and when you were followed or telephoned, or when you received post or email messages
Details of people who may have seen these events
Write down information as soon as possible when events are still fresh in your mind
Tell the police if any neighbours or others saw or heard what happened
Record how the suspect looked or sounded - what they were wearing and the make, number plate of any involved car
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.
Victims can get more advice and support from:Norfolk Constabulary on 101 (if life is in danger or a crime is in progress, call 999).

Coltishall – Unknown persons have entered an insecure Church and stolen valuables. The investigation continues.

Weekly crime summary 29 April 2016TISPOL Campaign
Police in Norfolk have been targeting speeding drivers as part of an enforcement campaign.
Officers have been speaking with drivers during the campaign; aiming to highlight dangers of speeding and the consequences that driving above the limit can have through education and enforcement.
Seven drivers were stopped on Thursday 21 April for speeding after officers carried out checks on the A47 at Swaffham – the lowest speed recorded was 90mph while the fastest was 121mph.
Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Hamlin, a member of the Road Casualty Reduction Partnership, said: "Speeding is one of the fatal-four behaviours that makes you more likely to be seriously injured or killed in a collision. The faster you travel, the less time you have to react to unforeseen hazards. "
"We work closely with our partners all-year round to target speeding drivers and these campaigns allow us to enforce the law while also raising awareness of the dangers and educating motorists."
The Europe-wide campaign, co-ordinated by TISPOL, the European Traffic Police Network, ran from 18-24 April and full results will be published in due course.
Motorists caught speeding will be issued with a TOR (Traffic Offence Report) and face a fine, points on their licence or even court action. Some drivers can opt to take part in a speed awareness course.

Weekly crime summary 6 May 2016Speeding Campaign
More than 2,400 motorists were caught speeding in Norfolk and Suffolk during a week-long enforcement campaign.
Officers from the roads policing unit and vans from the Norfolk Safety Camera Partnership and Suffolk SafeCam were deployed across both counties to increase checks.

APRIL 2016We held a meeting in February in addition to the April meeting. Unfortunately due to illness we were unable to report this in the Marlpit; however this report will cover both meetings.
Lower Common
The meeting welcomed Nick Hancox to the meeting; Nick is the solicitor who has prepared the new leases for the substations. These were ready for signature which was duly completed. Nick also came to explain an alternative way for the Trust to be organised which could make administration more cost effective. The Trustees will consider this advice.
Progress with the footpath repairs is slow but that is up to the District Council. They have promised a start date of May
3rd and apologised for the delay. The Parish Council hope to begin planting bulbs in good time this year and the CCMT thought this was a good idea and would like to contribute towards the cost. However, if the Parish Council is not leading this idea then the Trustees thought it to be such a nice idea that they would arrange for some bulbs to be planted at various points on the commons.
In an attempt to stop the dog bin at Anchor Street end of the Common from being filled with general waste one of the Trustees met with Jamie Henry from the District Council. They discussed placing one of the three wheelie bins from adjacent to the car park along at that end of the Common. Subsequently, Bill Musson made a slab base large enough to take one of the bins. Our very grateful thanks go to Bill for doing this, lets hope it works.
Norse should start cutting the grass soon. Trustees will ensure that the work is carried out to an acceptable standard this year.
Upper Common
Necessary work to lift the crowns on the lime trees that line the road edge will be done in April. This will avoid them suffering impact damage from high vehicles. The results of our appeal against the Broads Authority decision not to allow us to carry out recommended work on the poplar tree is awaited.
Cattle will soon be grazing the marsh again. The Trust has asked the grazier to put more animals on there this year in an attempt to try to control the pin rush to a small degree. We think he may put some Highland Cattle on there this year. Last year apparently, cattle had escaped over a make-shift bridge which has been placed over the dyke at the bottom of the Christmas tree plantation. There is no
consent for any such bridge and it will be removed to avoid a similar occurrence.
The Broads Authority has removed the booms which they placed across the dykes where they exit into the river. Whilst the flow of water has remained good the movement across the surface was stopped by the booms, this has helped the weed to form more quickly than normal. The Trust has asked if the Broads Authority would make a contribution towards cleaning the weed but their lack of resources meant our
request was refused.
Ling Common
Only one item to report this time. A loose top rail on the field side of the gate, this will be repaired by Mark Rischmiller, otherwise all is well here.
THIS ARTICLE IS PUBLISHED IN THE MARLPIT, THE PARISH COUNCIL WEB SITE AND IN OUR NOTICE BOARD ON THE LOWER COMMON CAR PARK
During the campaign, a total of 2,493 were caught speeding, 2,227 of which were caught by fixed/mobile cameras while the remainder were caught by police officers on patrol.
In Norfolk police officers on patrol issued 153 Traffic Offence Reports for speeding and while 103 were issued in Suffolk.
Chief Inspector Kris Barnard, head of the Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing and Firearms Operations Unit, said: "Speeding is recognised as one of the ‘fatal four’ offences which leads to people being killed or serious injured in a collision along with drink driving, using a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt. "We target these and other types of offences all year round but these campaigns allow to raise awareness among drivers and explain the consequences of speeding.
"Drivers should adjust their speed to suit the conditions on the road and be aware of hazards. The higher your speed, the less time you have to react. Think…could you stop in time if something unexpected happened in front of you?"
The Europe-wide campaign, co-ordinated by TISPOL, the European Traffic Police Network, ran from 18-24 April.
Motorists caught speeding face a £100 fixed penalty notice and three points on their licence, or may have the option to complete a Speed Awareness course. Under certain circumstances drivers could be taken to court where they may face larger fines and disqualification from driving.
Results breakdown:Norfolk:
1541 drivers caught speeding –1388 of these were camera activationsSuffolk:942 drivers caught speeding – 839 of these were camera activations

There is rarely a dull day at the vets, but last Friday was a really unusual and exciting day. At 10pm that night we still had 4 vets and a nurse working having had a run of serious emergencies. It started with a road traffic accident where we had a young cat brought in with serious head trauma. She required treatment for shock, x-rays and hospitalisation. A little while later an English Bull Dog, Jimmy, presented collapsed and very weak. Ultrasound examination revealed he had a ruptured spleen causing internal bleeding. He was immediately rushed to theatre to have his spleen removed (dogs cope fine without a spleen) and it became evident at this time that, even for a large dog, he had lost a lot of blood. As a result we contacted a wonderfully generous dog owner who had requested to be on our blood donor list and within 2 hours were able to provide Jimmy with a unit of blood that helped to save his life. While all this was going on we had another call about a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (pictured) called Effie who had suddenly developed a huge swelling in her groin. This is a very unusual occurrence in an older dog and when I examined her she had a lump the size of a grapefruit that
had not been there earlier that day. We ultrasound scanned the mass and found it contained abdominal contents that had herniated through the inguinal region of her abdomen. Again she was rushed through the theatre (thank goodness for great nurses!) and we opened up the hernia to find that she had an infected womb that had become so large it had caused the rupture and forced its way out of her abdomen!
I suspect I will never see this kind of thing again, but animals really are amazing, especially given that once we removed her uterus and fixed the hernia she was back to her usual self within days! You will also be pleased to know that both our other patients from that fateful night are also recovering and doing well. Needless to say we all slept well the next night!

Following an anxious wait we were given a reprieve for the second time in three
seasons when the annual end of season reshuffle of club’s in the football pyramid
was announced by the FA’s Leagues Committee at Wembley. We were the only club
in the whole country to benefit in this way. This came after the 1st team finished
3rd bottom in Ryman League Div 1 North. We needed a win at Romford in our final
game but could only managed a 0-0 draw and were pipped by Waltham Abbey who
leap-frogged over us. So with Norwich Utd gaining promotion we can look forward
to another local derby to play as well as Dereham and better luck on and off the
pitch. Like the Canaries have found, it is tough competing on a higher level and it
requires considerable commitment and finance. The reprieve is much appreciated
and is really good news. It was disappointing to finish where we did in the league
but to move forward we need the support of sponsors and local businesses as well
as more volunteers. Anyone in a position to help in any way please contact
secretary Chris Green on 783936 or email [email protected] . We do bring
some prestige to the area and it would be a great shame if this was lost.
The Reserves finished the season on a high in the Anglian Combination Premier
Division with just two defeats in their final 13 games after propping up the table for
some time. To finish 9th was creditable performance.
The U18’s took full advantage of a slip up by rivals Norwich Utd to win the East
Division but found Woodbridge a bit too tough in the regional play-offs losing 6-3.
But we have some good prospects challenge for senior places next season.

Tickets are on sale now so look out for us at a number of local events – they are also available from NMG showrooms in Norwich and from Abbott’s estate agents in the Precinct, Hoveton.
Our first appearance was at the Horning Boat Show, and we thank everyone for their support. Look out for us at Strumpshaw Steam Rally, the Norfolk Show, Cromer carnival and the Aylsham show amongst other places – full details on our website. The draw for the
winning ticket will take place in Castle Mall on 22nd November. Over the next few weeks we get ready for our annual handover of the presidency to our new president

Well, here we are nearly at the end of another Lionistic year.
We have had another successful 12 months being able to support many deserving causes locally, nationally and internationally. I will be handing over the reins to Lion Terry Vout at the end of this month and give him my best wishes for the forthcoming year.
The Precinct Tombola is now in full swing and will be open every day (weather permitting) until the end of September. So when passing do stop and have a natter with the Lion on duty and find out some of our plans for the coming months, and maybe also spend 50p to support a worthy cause.
Last month’s Craft Fair was again well supported and the bacon rolls and refreshments went down very well.
At our first meeting in May we welcomed a representative from the Blood Bikes (SERV) who gave us a very interesting account of their work. SERV is one on the charities we are raising money for this season on the Precinct Tombola. At our second meeting in May Paul Strutt gave us a talk about the Norfolk Accident Rescue Service.
One of the highlights of the year will be on Saturday 15th October when we are hoping to hold a concert at Broadland High School featuring the Royal Air Force Band, the Squadronnaires. Further details in due course.
It was my pleasure to attend the St George’s Day Celebrations
organised by Salhouse Scouts and meet Lord Baden Powell’s grandson. It was a wonderful occasion and highlighted the brilliant work the Scouting Movement Does. I also had the pleasure of visiting the guides in Wroxham and helped with choosing the winner of the cooking competition.
Our Charity Shop in Hoveton Precinct is still in need of donations of good quality bric a brac. We are also looking for volunteers to work in the shop. Anyone with a little time to spare and interested in this type of work please give Lion Terry Vout a call on 01603 784093 and he will give you all the details and answer any of your questions.
This month’s £100 Charity Shop Draw prize goes to Marie Curie which was nominated by N Carrington of Upton who donated goods to the shop.
We are always keen to welcome new people into our club who have a few hours to spare and would like to make a difference in the local community. If you would like to know more about the Lions Organisation and what Wroxham and Hoveton Lions do why not give our President Lion Mike Barker (01603 783108) or our membership chairperson Lion Suzanne Barnett (01603 782002) a call. If you prefer, come along to one of our meetings which are held at the Broadland Youth and Community Centre, Hoveton at 8pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. We are a very social and friendly bunch of ladies and gents and will make you very welcome.

During April we held our Race Night at Hoveton Village Hall and
raised £840, which is to be shared between the local charity
Nelson’s Journey and End Polio Now, which has almost
been achieved but needs just a few more years to ensure total
and lasting eradication. The evening was greatly enjoyed by
members and their guests and has proved a popular event in
our calendar.
At one of our lunchtime meetings we had a most inspiring
presentation from Stephen Bradnock, the Manager of the local
Nancy Oldfield Trust based in Neatishead offering motorboat
cruises, sailing and canoeing to disadvantaged and disabled
people. If you would like to know more about them and
perhaps support them through becoming a volunteer or booking
their services: Tel: 01692 630572, Email:
[email protected] or go to the website:

During May we have more excellent speakers booked for our
lunchtime meetings including the Crimestoppers Regional
Manager.
On June 7th with members of staff, we are taking children
from Hall School on a trip to Wroxham Barns so that they can
join in caring for animals in the farm.
On September 29th we are planning a special lunchtime
buffet to which our members each bring a guest who can
meet us and see if they would like to join our club. We mix
social activities with fund raising so that we make a difference to
our lives and to others.

Rotary Club of Broadlands
The Probus Club of Broadlands is a group for men who have worked in a professional or business capacity and are now retired, semi-retired, or about to retire. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month at The Norfolk Mead Hotel in Coltishall for lunch followed by a talk by a speaker on a subject of usually local relevance.
Our April lunch was followed by the Annual General Meeting to review
the year's activities and elect the new President and Committee for the year ahead. The outgoing Officers reported that the Club had had a successful programme of events, including a number of very popular Ladies' Luncheons, and had concluded on a sound financial basis. The outgoing President, Ian Anderson, recalled the range of speakers that had entertained us throughout the year, including a Member from the Club itself. He hoped the Club would be successful in attracting even more new Members in the coming year. Before handing over to the new President, Steve Robb, he paid tribute to the work of the outgoing Committee for their commitment and enthusiasm, and to The Norfolk Mead for its excellent food and outstanding service.
The new President thanked his predecessor for his time and efforts throughout his term of office, and recognized his strong and compassionate style that kept the Club friendly and open to all. He looked forward to continuing the Club’s traditions with a view to making the meetings as enjoyable as possible, maintaining its well attended and strongly-bonded characteristics while continuing to attract new members. The Members could look forward to another year of speakers on an interesting range topics. He invited the Members to pause for a moment to remember those who had passed away during the year.
The new Social Secretary, Mike Southey, confirmed that there would be yet another year of popular social events, beginning with a Ladies' Luncheon in early May at the Sea Marge Hotel at Overstrand.
The Club is always keen to welcome new members , or to hear from those who would like to know more. Contact Bill Dickson on 01603 783067. We hope to see you at our next meeting.

So hopefully flaming June is here now and we can break out the shorts – having of course shaved and tanned our legs! And painted the toenails!
We actually had a very fine day on 28th April when we walked around the Blickling Estate in aid of the charity ACWW. About 340 women from Norfolk WIs (plus dogs and husbands) tramped various distances and, together, we raised at least £700. Such fun too!
We also had an amazing visit to the
Magistrates’ Court on May 5th. Our guides, Steve and Jenny, gave us the tour, discussed the operation of the Magistrates’ Court and, completely unexpected for me, took us into the undercroft to see the remains of the Norman House, built around the same time as the Cathedral and beautifully preserved under the new law courts. And then they explained the history of the Arminghall Arch which stands proudly in
the courts’ concourse. Photos and leaflets are available from me.
“Let there be Dragons” was the theme of our April meeting at the Church Rooms. Fiona Dowson, our speaker, dressed in early Saxon attire, told the legend of Vortigen whose fortress kept falling down.
Vortigen summoned Merlin who explained that the foundations were collapsing because of fighting red and white dragons under the tower. Vortigen’s other name was “supabus tyrannus” so next time a double decker disappears down a hole in Norwich, blame the dragons!
Our next meeting on May 18th had a serious side; we were asked to decide which of two resolutions should go forward to National level for action. One was asking for means to increase support for dementia patients and the other was concerned with reducing food waste. We won’t know for some months which resolution was finally adopted but I shall keep you informed.
Our June meeting on 15th is designed around “Fun with Flowers”. Hopefully we can do a bit of arranging ourselves!
And on July 20th, we have a guest speaker on “Sheepdog Trialling”. Best not bring your whistle!
Finally, there is an outing to Oulton Broad on July15th; Margaret has the details. We are still planning a visit to a winery
possibly in September and I have been talking to Peter Croot, our Tree Warden Extraordinaire about how the WI might become involved in planting wild flowers and also making cakes, jellies, pies etc from the produce of the Coltishall Community Orchard. Watch this space!
Oh,- one more thing. It’s the Queen’s
birthday on 11th June and we have been asked to put up a display in Coltishall Church. Judi has some great ideas and we would love your input. Photos, memories, flowers, cakes, jam, sewing. We can do labels if things need explaining.
So, a recipe. Sadly no one from our WI has sent in their speciality so I have to rely on tried and tested from previous members. Why are you so shy??
PINEAPPLE CAKE
4oz marg/butter
1lb mixed dried fruit

You are invited to enjoy another glass of local beer with the Bure Navigation Conservation Trust
and hear about these incredible vessels which plied their trade on our local waterways.
‘Here for another beer: The History of the Norfolk Wherries’
An illustrated talk by Mike Sparkes archivist to the Norfolk Wherry Trust
Friday 17th June 2016
7:30pm
Buxton Village Hall
Mill Street Buxton.
When roads were just dirt tracks and the largest vehicles on them were carts pulled by horses or oxen, how do you transport large cargoes around the County? Luckily the waterways of east Norfolk and north-east Suffolk, from very early days, have formed excellent arteries to carry out the trade within the area. Where the rivers and broads were not capable of carrying this traffic canals were constructed or sections of rivers were canalised with the addition of locks. Every village on this system had its staithe, and 19th century property advertisements show how much local trade and commerce depended on the rivers for transport.
Now you have the destinations and highways, how do you carry the cargoes? This is where the Norfolk Keels and Wherries comes in.
Mike will cover a journey through time, showing the evolution of a small rowing vessel of the 17th century to the 40 ton wherry Albion which was built on the banks of Lake Lothing at Oulton Broad in 1898 and is still sailing today.
Mike Sparkes is well qualified in the subject of wherries and wherrymens’ lives as it is part of his own family history with his uncle, grandfather and great grandfather having worked on the wherries, all working out of Norwich. Great grandfather was skipper on several wherries working for William Hobrough the waterway contractor.
The meeting will also see the launch of ‘River Writes’ a book of stories and poems inspired by the Upper Bure Valley and the presentation of the prize to the winning writer.
All are welcome
Admission £2 at the door
(BNCT members £1) to include a glass of local
beer or a soft drink.

Hoveton, Wroxham and District Gardening ClubGardening Tips for the Month of June
● Most of our daffs and tulips are over now;
they have been really good this year.
● Bluebells have taken over, shrubs too,
including wisteria, broom and
rhododendrons.
● Our gardens should start to show their
second phase of colour to give us a superb
display.
● If you lift your bulbs, clean and dry them.
Label them clearly and store in a cool, dry
place.
● Clean pots and containers; make sure there
is good drainage. Fill with a good compost
and plant for a colourful display. If your
containers are very deep, put some
polystyrene in the bottom. This will make
them lighter and not so expensive to fill.
● Make sure you hoe through your beds
regularly and dead head as and when
required.
● To keep paths, patios and shingle areas free
of weeds, spray with a good weed killer on a
dry day.
● Your lawns should be growing well. Keep
them trimmed regularly, cut in different
directions and don’t cut too short.
● Cut back path and border edges, keep them
neat and tidy.
● In the salad patch, sow radish, lettuce,
oriental leaves and spring onions.
● In the veg area, sow peas, beetroot, swedes,
main crop carrots, runner and French beans.
● Water any crops that need it.
● In the fruit area, keep plants watered and
protect from birds and other pests.
● Harvest the lovely strawberries.
● Keep your pond topped up with water, feed
fish regularly, remove any unwanted weed
and clean pumps and filters. Protect fish
from herons.
Enjoy your garden this month.

MARLPIT DELIVERY VACANCY
Marlpit Delivery Route 25 , basically Station Road Coltishall has become vacant. Until now it has been covered by Benjie Jordan who has retired. We are looking for 2 people to volunteer to take it on, to give up about 30 minutes for each issue, [5 hours a year] . We are asking for 2 to either share the task or for one to be the relief deliverer should the other need a break for holidays etc. We would prefer volunteers from the route itself, so perhaps someone and their neighbour. If you would like to help please contact our Distribution Editor Bernard Mann on 738892 We would also like to thank Benjie for his years of dedication to the The Marlpit, one of the long standing members of the Distribution Team

As some of you in the village may already know I have had a recent addition to my family in the form of a son! And as with many parents we are unable to think of much other than baby related topics, hence the article this month is “Colic”. There are lots of parents
and grandparents in the area and, as regular Colic affects up to one in five babies, I am sure some of you will have experienced this and will know how distressing it can be both for the baby and the carer.
What is colic?
Colic is classed as “excessive, frequent crying in an otherwise healthy baby”. So that narrows it down doesn’t it!
The symptoms include intense crying (often more in the afternoon), getting red and flushed (that’s the baby not the parent), drawing the knees up to the chest, arching the back and clenched fists. Come to think of it I’m pretty sure my partner had a bout of colic when I told her there was no chocolate in the house after a pretty bad nights sleep – but that’s another story.
No one agrees on the cause, and it may well be that it varies from baby to baby. Often it appears to have a relationship to digestion and it is suggested that it’s caused by wind and an inability to break down the milk properly. It doesn’t matter if you formula feed or breast feed babies are affected equally. Others hypothesise it is just that some babies cry more than others and it’s just a normal part of being a baby.
What we do know is that, no matter what the cause, the symptoms can cause high levels of stress and worry to anyone who is looking after the child. But there are some simple products available that you can try alongside any advice that your Health Visitor gives you.
Simeticone: This is available as drops, which can be given from birth. It helps to break the wind in the stomach up into smaller bubbles so it is easier for the baby to expel. These are readily available in Pharmacies and Supermarkets and are a good starting point.
Lactase Drops: These are added to the milk (breast or formula) and the lactase
enzyme breaks down lactose which is a sugar found in milk. Some people have a harder time digesting lactose than others so this helps do the work for your baby making the milk easier to digest. If you’re breastfeeding you can use just as you are about to feed, but if formula feeding you need to add the drops in 30 mins before. Ask your pharmacist for more advice.
Changing milks & comfort milk: This doesn’t help breastfeeding mothers, but for those on formula the infant may tolerate certain makes better than others. It is often worth trialling a different brand of ordinary level 1 formula to see if this makes a difference. There are also a number of “comfort” style milks available in most of the major brands, which are specifically designed to be easier to digest and reduce the incidence of crying. You may find these in the supermarket but if not your pharmacy should be able to order for you.
Anti-colic bottles Babies can swallow air as they drink from a bottle. The effect of this can be minimised by frequent “winding” during the feed, but any trapped wind can add to the baby’s discomfort. There are a number of different bottle styles, which reduce the amount of air that the baby takes in – have a look in your local pharmacy to see what is available.
There are a small number of other conditions, which have symptoms, which include colic. If the colic is severe or there are other associated symptoms e.g. vomiting, diarrhoea, skin rashes, blood or mucus in the stools speak to your Health Visitor or GP.
A baby that cries frequently can sometimes be difficult to cope with. Support groups, such as Cry-sis, http://www.cry-sis.org.uk/can also offer help and advice if you need it. You can contact the Cry-sis helpline for advice on 0845 122 8669 (9am-10pm, seven days a week)
If you want general advice on feeding and diet in infants then Pharmacists are well placed to be able to guide you through the different products and milks available.
The good news is that unless there is an underlying problem your child will grow out of colic and it won’t affect what they can digest in the future – but until then good luck!!

My Money Matters …
A regular report for our readers written by Martin Smith,
Financial Adviser & Director of Clearview Financial Consultants Ltd
1 Burgh Road, Aylsham NR11 6AJ
Tel : 01263 732720
The Government had announced in the Care Act the introduction of a new limit that would restrict the amount a person aged over 65 (or a disabled person aged over 25) would need to pay towards their costs of care during their lifetime. This “Care Cost Cap” was set to be £72,000.
The same Act also announced a change to the level of assets a person can hold before the local authority no longer had to pay for your care. The limit had been £23,250 which meant that if you had over this sum, then you had to “self fund.” The Act was to increase this to £118,000 meaning that the local authority would have to pay for a lot more care. These new rules were set to
come into force on the 6th of April 2016.
But……. after receiving a letter from the Chairperson of the Local Government Association saying that pressing ahead with the changes would be “deeply damaging” Alistair Burt, Minister of State for Community & Social Care announced that the
changes would be “delayed” and “will now be introduced in April 2020.”
On a different topic, those of us who own a Main Residence are set to be given an additional Inheritance Tax allowance which will be phased in from 6.4.2017 when the current IHT limit of £325K will rise to £425K. By April 2020 it will have risen to £500K per person. Do note though …. these increases have yet to come into force and they only apply to main residences which are to be passed onto direct descendants. If these new IHT rules do take hold, the Government will lose a substantial amount of income. In view of the U-Turn on care costs, you may find yourself questioning whether the introduction of these new IHT rules will actually to hold in April ’17.
If you have worked hard to build up wealth and don’t fancy the idea of it being snapped up by either the local council to pay for care costs or HMRC in death duties, then you need to know what planning options are available. For example, did you know that some
types of investment are exempt from being included in your asset total when care cost payment responsibilities are being assessed? For that matter, do any of your assets qualify for 100% relief against IHT calculations?
Government policies do change. With local authority funding being cut year on year, now more than ever, failing to spend a little time planning ahead could prove “deeply damaging” for the general public.
This short article in no way should be taken by readers as advice.
Unless you feel at ease in making your own decisions, advice is always recommended.

Coltishall & Horstead Preschool
Appeal for Alternative Premises:Dear Readers,
We are Coltishall and Horstead Preschool and we provide quality preschool education for our 2 - 4 year olds in the
local villages.
For some years now we have been using Coltishall Village Hall as our premises, which while it provides a good sized
space, has its disadvantages, the biggest of which is the lack of a dedicated outdoor play area for the children.
Permanent outdoor space would allow us to build on the facilities we already have and make way for additions such as
a sensory garden, a sand pit… the possibilities are numerous. Regrettably there is little scope in the current location to
achieve this.
We write to ask all readers if they might know of any other premises in the area which
might better suit our purpose - this could be a rarely used public building or a private
dwelling available for long term let.
We the committee thought it was worth an ask!
Please contact us on 07539 928124 or [email protected] if you have any
ideas that we could look into, we would love to hear from you.

There’s a running bug going around Coltishall - and it is causing quite a buzz of excitement.
Over 50 enthusiastic and aspiring runners have joined the ‘Couch to 10K’ training programme set up by ex-Olympian runner Paul Evans and delivered in conjunction with Coltishall Jaguars Running Club.
The participants, who range greatly in terms of running experience with many being complete beginners, have all bravely signed up to the free six week course with a clear goal at the end – it culminates with their entry into an official 10k, or
6.25 mile race, on June 5th.
Paul Evans, who was a team GB finalist in the 1992 Olympics 10000metres, has been really impressed by the effort shown by the local runners.
“They are doing brilliantly. With the right attitude, determination and coaching the 10k goal is achievable for everyone.
“It’s about how much effort you put in and I am seeing improvement in the runners each week. In fact the hardest thing was probably coming along for the first time.”
Paul, who is Athletics Development Officer for Norfolk, will be at the Coltishall Jaguars Mike Groves Race
10k on June 5th to cheer on his ‘Couch to 10K’ students:
“I think they will all be able to complete it. It’s a mental thing - they need to believe they can do it! Hopefully on the day of the race they will all get round and finish with a big smile on their face.
“Running is a fun and sociable activity, you will always meet a group of friends or someone who is running at the same pace as you. Hopefully a lot of these people will go to join the Jaguars – and who knows they might be running a marathon in the future!”
The runners are training under Paul Evans’ direction with assistance and encouragement from Coltishall Jaguars coaches. Training involves plenty of pounding around Coltishall’s football fields with group activities and ‘efforts’, or bursts of speed thrown in. Their weekly sessions are combined with homework. Training
runs are set where the distance or actual running time gradually increases to build the runners’ stamina and endurance.
Sharon Collins, a mum of two from Rackheath said: “I used to run before my children were born and I know I needed to get back into it. I just needed a bit more motivation. Running with a club is great because when other people turn out – you turn out.
It’s been brilliant so far even though I admit I have ached!”
Runners have travelled from across Norfolk to join the course. Kaye Potter from Cromer signed up as complete beginner. She said “I have always wanted
to run but I have never felt physically able to. I decided to set myself a challenge and see if I could do it.
“I’m amazed at how much I have improved in three weeks. I am really pleased. Everyone is so encouraging and friendly and accepting of everyone – even us slow ones.”
Coltishall Jaguars coach Clare Hicks said “I am really impressed. There has been such a lot of energy and excitement here and people are really
putting the effort in. There is quite a team spirit already.”
Evan Hancock a new runner from Wroxham said “The club has been wonderful, so welcoming and friendly. I have always been afraid I would get it wrong - but it turns out I can do okay! And I really really enjoy it.
“I don’t know if I can finish the 10k but I am looking forward to it because it’s a
goal to go to. It’s exciting, I am starting to believe I can do it.”
Coltishall Jaguars Running Club members are equally as excited about their 10k race Sunday 5th June. The annual Mike Groves 10k race will be the first race to be held at the running club’s new Headquarters at the old Coltishall RAF base at Badersfield.
The ASA registered course is chip-timed and open to all. Head coach Mel Porter knows the course around the ex-airbase’s perimeter track will appeal to both new runners and experienced runners hoping to achieve PBs – or personal best times.
“The course is flat, spacious and safe as it is obviously traffic free. It allows plenty of scope for runners of all abilities.”
All finishers will gain a medal to mark their achievement. Could one of them be yours?

News from St. Edward’s Community
Thoughts from Badersfield Community
Church by Revd Deb
Handling a change of plan.
How do you handle change? Life can change in an instant. Unplanned situations can be forced upon us. We can either ignore or accept the challenge change often brings. How we respond to impending national political changes, local legislation tussles, working with new colleagues, coping with unplanned breakdown of community facilities, facing the sudden death of loved ones, or handling the breakdown of relationships, we find the challenge to adapt or change is there. Change can have both positive and negative consequences; we can ‘bury our heads in the sand’, or we can allow change to happen, adapt to it, and then to accept new unplanned solutions.
Last month I announced the programme for a Sri Lankan Dance Festival. Following the submission of my article, I heard that the dancers Visas would not be issued in time. This was a blow and a disappointment! A very public one! We have been forced to accept the loss of the plans, have decided to plan better for 2017, but still offer one evening meal. All is not lost.
Communities can be challenged by unplanned situations happening beyond their control. The subsequent responses to unexpected problems can cause stress, uncertainty and strong feelings. But once a solution is found, there usually are longer term benefits once unimaginable.
The Church has just celebrated the birth of the Christian faith, known as Pentecost Sunday, a milestone in the church calendar. The first disciples had experienced many challenges; the death of Jesus, his resurrection and his leaving them to return to heaven. All this and they didn’t know that there was a contingency plan in place for them. Jesus gave them a new power and passion within them that gave them the courage to embrace change, to overcome challenges, to endure personal hardship and persecution, well outside their comfort zone. They were able to live their lives more fully, no longer fearing change.
I believe the human spirit is very resilient. I believe that when we humans can live in community together with each other, despite our differences, we can adapt to changes that living in today’s world will bring. We do not need to be on our own. The care of family, friends, neighbours, as well as the kindness of strangers, is a reminder that a shared problem is often the first step to accepting change, both in others, and ourselves.
So, this month, whatever life throws at us, let’s learn to allow change to grow us. Let’s do it together!
With love Love Revd Deb x

FROM THE REVEREND CHRISTOPHER
ENGELSEN
Dear Friends Two special birthdays:In this season of celebrating Her Majesty the Queen’s ninetieth birthday, I begin with the written equivalent of raising a glass to our sovereign. Throughout her reign she has been there for her country in sorrow and in joy. Governments have come and gone, the world has changed, yet HRM gives continuity and a reminder of unchanging values: the call to serve one another in faith and love, for this land to be a family among the family of nations-and to point to that greater Kingdom of sisterhood and brotherhood that Christians call the Kingdom of God.
The Queen and her family also take a keen interest in local communities and charities,and we shall be celebrating our local organizations and groups in an Exhibition in St John the Baptist Church, Coltishall, on
Saturday 11th June 10am to 4pm & Sunday 12th June 12pm to 5pm. Do call in and see just what the good people in the community do for the benefit of others. Admission is free, with donations for Coltishall Church. Over the weekend there will be bells rung and organ played. Soft drinks available- so come and raise a glass!
Among the organizations Coltishall land Horstead Good Neighbour Scheme will be represented. As well as linking the help of our splendid volunteers with requests for help (such as lifts, help with shopping, regular contact with the elderly), GN has been able to support the Defibrillator project with a cabinet for the Defibrillator being installed outside Coltishall Post Office, and take folk out on an outing to Yarmouth in July. It was good to see many of you at the GN tea party last month.
Horstead Pop Up Cafe has really brought people together (see advert) and will be celebrating the Royal Birthday with a Village Afternoon Tea on
Sunday 12th June 2.30pm to 4.30pm in Horstead Tithe Barn, with birthday cake and Royal Memorabillia. –see advert for details.
And the second special birthday? That will be celebrated in Coltishall
Family Service on Sunday June 5th 10.00am. It is the birthday of the Church – that is the Church throughout the world, that came into being around two thousand years ago when a handful of the friends of Jesus were inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. He came like a powerful wind to propel those early followers to share the love of Jesus the Servant king and to live in mutual care and support, as they worshipped the Lord. Come and have some birthday cake, and raise a glass to the King of All. And if I can mention a third birthday-Happy Birthday to our Sunday School teacher Jill Blackburn!
May the Holy Spirit of our Lord renew us and inspire us –as we say Your Kingdom Come!
Royal and Holy Blessings to you AllChristopher
