CHRISTMAS TREE

Thank you to all the Clubs and Organi-

�ORTHWOLD VILLAGE

HALL E�TERTAI�ME�T!!

The Keith Loades evening was a great

success with over £500 being raised

for the village hall!

�ow tickets are on sale for the Elvis

Christmas Show on Friday 14th De-

cember. (This is the same Elvis as 3-4

years ago so we know it will be good!)

Come and start your Christmas cele-

brations with the glitz and glamour of

one of the best nightclub entertainers!

The cost is £9 which includes food. A

licenced bar will sell wine and beer

including soft drinks. (Please do not

bring your own drinks as this is not

really in the spirit of the evening as

this is a fund raising event for the vil-

lage hall!) The night will start at

7.30pm prompt. Another 'sell out' is

expected so please phone Jackie

728571 or John 727018 for tickets as

soon as possible.

Christmas gifts and decorations. Another

session is being co-ordinated by other

award seekers and younger club members

– when it will be a “Girls pamper night;

Guys night in”, instead of the usual

Christmas party. The young helpers are also having a stall

at the James Bradfield School Christmas

Fete on 14th December from 3:15 pm. It

would be lovely if you could visit them at

the stall and support their activities. This is the ideal time to say thank you to

all the Helpers at the Youth Club, be-

cause without them the children would

not have enjoyed such a varied schedule

of activities. Their commitment to ex-

panding the children’s experiences and

opportunities in a safe and fun environ-

ment is really appreciated and should not

be underestimated. Thank you. Additionally, without the support of some

very kind benefactors the Youth Club

would not have been able to afford some

of the activities the children have en-

joyed. Once again, thank you. As reported in the last Village Life ,

Steve and I are standing down as Treas-

urer and Secretary of the Youth Club at

the end of 2012 and very much hope that

someone will step up to take the Club

forward. If anyone wishes to discuss

taking over the helm please contact us or

Jane Luckman who will happily answer

any of your questions. As you would

expect, new volunteers to the club are

subject to the usual checks including

CRBs and references.

And fi-

nally, the

winners

are …

Becca,

Emily,

Alice,

Hannah

and Max

who scored the highest points at the An-

nual Quiz Night – hosted by Ace Quiz-

...wishes all readers of “Village Life” a very merry Christmas and best wishes for

2013. It seems hard to believe that another year

has flown by, but when we heard about

all the activities we’d done during the

past year at our 7th Annual General Meet-

ing, it’s little wonder we feel the time has

whizzed past! The members are busy,

busy, busy (which can make it hard work

for us old ‘uns to keep up sometimes!) You will have seen some of our members

representing the Youth Club at the Re-

membrance Service and helping out at

the Church Bazaar in November - and

don’t forget to look out for the sign at the

Sports and Social Club that was designed

by Louis, one of our Young Helpers, as

part of his Norfolk Youth Award work. The Youth Club encourage their Junior

Helpers to participate in the Norfolk

Youth Awards which they run for the 13

– 15 year olds in the group. As part of

her Award, Becca will be co-ordinating a

bits and piece s to the shoe. Here are some

images of a couple of the final faces! The

first is by Jack in Year 4 and the second by

Thomas in Year 3. Christmas will start in the next week or so in

school! Children will make another Big Crib

and decorate their classrooms. This year in a

bid to be more eco-friendly we will not be

having a Christmas Card delivery service but

each child will make a book and the adults

and children in the school will write their

Christmas greetings in these books. Obvi-

ously, our Christmas productions will begin

to take up our time as the children learn their

parts and create a fabulous experience for us

all. We are looking forward to our Carol

Service and the village Posada and Christmas

Tree services. Our year 4-6 children are continuing with

their blogs. They are writing about all kind

of interesting things. Do check out their writ-

ing by going to the blog via Madrid or New

York Classes pages on our website

www.norman-pri.norfolk.sch.uk. The chil-

dren would be delighted if you would post a

response to them, if you do please indicate

who you are as anonymous postings will not

be published. A couple of the year 6 have

written about their safari and one of our chil-

dren has started a novel after being given the

starting line, ‘The waves crashed against the

ragged rocks….’ , which we thought we

would post a little each month. We hope you

enjoy!

viola or cello. It is quite wonderful to see

their concentration and dedication to their

learning. As part of their lesson, they have

learnt some call and response songs which

two children led at our Celebration Assembly

last week, in front of a large group of par-

ents. It was quite something and very brave

of the callers. It has been busy for our Year 6, not only do

they have the puppet workshop today but

also they spent yesterday on safari at ‘Africa

Live!’ and had a brilliant time. They came

back full of tales of the animals and the

things they witnessed. I understand they

came across a Sulcata Tortoise and Royal

Python at Africa Live but they had also had a

visit in their classroom of these creatures too.

Mrs. Stocking, our veritable Dr Doolittle,

kindly brought some of her tortoises and

snakes in for the children to touch and learn

about. The Africa project is going down

well. Our Art Club has been running this term and

the children have been exploring ‘shoes’ in

as many different ways as they can. So far

they have drawn a shoe, printed with the sole

There is a poem called

‘No!’, which starts:

‘�o sun - no moon!

�o morn - no noon -

�o dawn - no dusk - no

proper time of day…’and ends with:

‘�ovember!’

As I write this piece it is difficult to see

across the Fendick Field because the fog is

down and it feels damp and dank. It still

amazes me how being in the country keeps

you in touch with the seasons with very

definite reminders from nature. We cer-

tainly are getting set up for winter. However, over lunchtime I spent time with

a group of children weeding our new Me-

morial bed which has got rather overgrown

as we wait for a particular set of plants to

arrive. It was lovely to see the enthusiasm

of the children as they pulled weeds up and

got rid of large stones. I must admit it was

great to be outside getting fresh air and

chatting with the children. Our day today

has been an exciting one with our morning

spent enjoying the Norwich Puppet Theatre

Company spinning the story of the Pied

Piper of Hamlin. The children thoroughly

enjoyed themselves and our older children

are spending the afternoon creating their

own puppets. I’m looking forward to seeing

the outcome of their efforts and the subse-

quent puppet shows they will produce. Our year 2 and 3 children have formed the

string section of the orchestra where each

child is learning to play either: the violin,

Dear Diary,

Yesterday I had the

most incredible experience. I went on my

first ever African safari.

I got there and I met my guide Mark. I

stepped onto the dusty land rover; I had a

mixture of emotions excited, nervous over all

I did not know what to expect.

We rounded the next corner, it was Ele-

phants, and I would say there were about 6 or

7 of them. I felt so privileged to see such a

sight it was fantastic! I saw a baby Elephant

bathing in a water hole. The little baby got a

bit stuck. But luckily the mummy Elephant

pulled her out. I was consecrating on the

Elephant skin. They look like they

have scaly skin. An Elephant came closer to

us it flapped its ginormous ears it made a

small gust of wind.

Then we moved on. It had a long neat with

neat splodges on its body. Its legs were long.

The animal was looking tall and proud, it

was also chewing leaves, and after eating a

patch of leaves it would stretch tall. This

creature is a Giraffe. I said” awesome”, but

Mark said “shhhh!”

We approached a field of Zebras.

Then the atmosphere changed. It went from

misty to sunny.

After we stopped for the last time ‘it’ was

laying in the water. ‘It’ was long there were

birds flying on to this thing. This animal

moved so all the birds flew away. This ani-

mal was a Hippo.

It came to the end of my tour I thanked Mark

for an unforgettable day.

By Eboni Year 6 Dear Diary,

Three days ago I went on a once in a life

time trip two South Africa, to see some terri-

fic, magnificent and marvellous animals. As I drove in my wonderful land rover, we

came across some humongous elephant.

Suddenly the elephant’s trunk swished up

into the air and spurted water everywhere. I

was surprised to see such a tremendous sight

out of my own eyes. After that we drove to

the other corner. As we got two the next corner the,

sunlight beamed through the trees like a

laser. As I looked towards the giraffes, I saw

a formidable giraffe that was as tall as a tree.

I stepped back in shock. All of a sudden

the giraffe was standing right next to me

right next to me. The giraffe just wanted

some love and attention. What a

great experiences that was!

The Boy with the Victim Tattoo Prologue

The waves crashed against the ragged rocks

as the lighthouse shone like a firefly. The

fisherman, on the other hand, lay back pon-

dering. Pondering when the last time the

sea went wild like horses stampeding.

Thunder boomed every time the waves hit

the shore. Almost as if a figure from the

underworld, had opened the creaky door of

the lighthouse and was slowly coming up

the windy staircase. The fisherman had

drifted off to sleep and being the old man

he was, groaned like an old door swing in

the wind. Without knowing what fate was

going to befall him as a misty outline of a

ship came into sight…. Chapter 1 Missing

Jamestown 28th October 1867

Our ship `The King George I` was docking

at Jamestown, where I was born. We had

been transporting spices and sugar round

the Caribbean and lastly Jamestown. Me

and some of the others went to the tavern,

(the rest went over to the merchant to trade

and John watched the ship with the cabin

boy). While we were there I spotted an old

fisherman, who looked stunned and puz-

zled. “The past has come back to us.” He

whittled “the past has come back. “Must’ve

had too much to drink.” whispered Jack

who was the navigator. Also John disap-

peared as I said earlier he was watching the

ship the cabin boy. The boy said he didn’t

know John’s whereabouts. Caribbean Sea 29th October 1867

Just left Jamestown and off to Port Royal to

collect the cargo which had to be sugar. I

hate sugar. Been staring at it for fifteen

years and I’m only twenty-five. I should

have stuck with piracy and hunting mer-

maids on blood rock than this. Our quarter-

master has gone missing today. Shouldn’t

be long till there’s mutiny. Maybe I should

jump ship?

Trading places with Jessica Ennis

Once upon a time, Jessica Ennis was running

in the Olympics. She won a bronze medal,

and everybody was amazed.

Back at school I picked up a weird bottle

And the next thing I knew I was Jessica En-

nis running in the Olympics, when all of a

sudden, I was awarded 2 gold medals.

(On the other hand Jessica, however I was

her!)

And the crowd burst with madness, but they

got a bit suspicious when I started eating

cupcakes, apparently Jessica hates those. But

then I turned into me and Jessica into her and

she started running again, and in the end it

was all back to normal. THE END!

Rosie Y4 Trading places

One day I was watching television, and I

went to change the channel to go good luck

Charlie so I went to press the button and then

POOF I was zooming through the TV. Then I saw the entire cast backstage, just then

I looked at myself in the mirror, and then I

realized that I had turned into teddy Duncan! Then the director called out that we were

shooting the road trip movie.

I followed someone who led me to a pretend

car for the movie,

I got in and we went to Palm Springs. We all went into the mountains.

I didn’t know what say so the director called

out CUT!

Then I got called to the office and the direc-

tor said I was fired.

I was very sad so I ran into the office and

shouted out SORRY,

So he said ok so I got my job back! That night I sat up in bed and thought how

am I going to get back to being myself again? The next day I got called into a meeting with

everybody else and he said that we all need to

up our game because we were going to be on

TV tomorrow and we were shooting it today. I thought that I would take a minute to watch

a bit of TV then out of nowhere I was travel-

ling back home!! In one minute I was home!!!

Who new that I could of just dome that in the

first place.

50 that night. Maybe we’ll go away next year! But then, entertaining is what we do. It is often thought that the tradition has de-veloped in the UK from an American cus-tom. Not so! Read on... In North America, trick or treat has been a customary Hallowe’en tradition since at least the early 1950s. Homeowners wishing to participate in it sometimes decorate their private entrances with artificial spider webs, plastic skeletons and jack-o-lanterns. Some rather reluctant homeowners would simply leave the candy sweets) in bowls on the porch, others might be more participative and would even ask an effort from the children in order to provide them with candy. In the more recent years, however, the practice has spread to almost any house within a neighbourhood being visited by children. The tradition of going from door to door receiving food already existed in Great Brit-ain and Ireland in the form of "souling", where children and poor people would sing and say prayers for the dead in return for cakes.[1] Guising—children disguised in cos-tumes going from door to door for food and coins—also predates trick or treat, and is recorded in Scotland at Hallowe’en in 1895, where masqueraders in disguise carrying lanterns made out of scooped out turnips, visit homes to be rewarded with cakes, fruit and money.[2] While going from door to door in disguise has remained popular among Scots and Irish, the North American custom of saying "trick or treat" has recently become common. The activity is prevalent in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and many other coun-tries. More information can be found on the inter-

net. This article sourced from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick-or-treating

Mike & Brigette

‘Trick-or-treating’ or ‘Guising’, is a customary practice for children on Hallowe’en in many countries. Children in costumes travel from house to house in order to ask for treats such as candy (or, in some cultures, money) with the question "Trick or treat?". The "trick" is a (usually idle) threat to perform mischief on the home-owners or their property if no treat is given. Some of you may remember or been the victims of ‘egging’, usu-ally of our houses, win-dows etc. Thankfully, much of this has died out. Nevertheless local children, often accompa-nied by their parents, wandered round the village on 31 October seeking goodies from good hearted householders. We were one of those house-holds, although a bit OTT this year. We had sound effects, skeletal curtains, cobwebs with spiders, UV light and lightening flashes, all to help create the atmosphere often por-trayed in films. Rather than deterring trick or

treaters, we seemed to be busy from 6.00pm through til nearly 8.00pm. Many of our visitors forgot why they were there, except of course to

get a sweet, and had to be prompted to ask the question. We reckon we must have seen

Bottle Bank & Recreation Field While many of those who live here in North-

wold will view the removal of the bottle

bank service from our village as an incon-

venience, I’d like to thank Borough Council-

ors Anthony White and Brian Long, our

Parrish Council Chairwoman Rosemary

Crisp, and Mike Howarth and John Burton

from the Village Hall Committee for making

it happen. Life will be a lot quieter without

the constant sound of breaking glass.

Steve Stark I suppose nothing should surprise you these

days, the government have been urging peo-

ple to re cycle as much as possible, and what

happens the bottle bank has been removed.

has it not been taken into consideration

there are people in Northwold that don't

drive therefore have no means of getting to

the recycling stations or supermarkets. An-

other thing, what about the price of petrol. I

can see it happening where the village will

be littered with broken glass, for children and

animals to cut themselves, why couldn't the

bottle banks have been sited elsewhere in the

village. And as for the recreation field, this is an

absolute disgrace, where can the children go

to have a good run about without parents

worrying that they could fall and injure

themselves turning their ankles in the holes.

Our football team have had to find another

pitch to play on so this in turn is affecting the

Sports & Social Club as they are not using

the facilities. I'm sure there are others families that are

concerned, what on earth is happening to

Northwold.

5.3 CAN Update

The meeting was briefly suspended to allow

an update from the Chairman of CA�

• An Extraordinary General Meeting of

CAN has been booked to be held at

Northwold Sports & Social Club on

October 25th at 7.30pm. It was noted

that although However, it was noted no

acknowledgement has been received

from Northwold Sports and Social re-

garding use of the building.

5.4 Manor House

• It was noted compulsory purchase of the

Manor House is progressing. A notice

to that effect has been posted on the

gate of the property.

6. Sports & Social Club agreement

Dealt with under item 5.

OPE� FORUM

• Mr. A Jenkinson has received some

response via the CAN website to his

petition for a reduction in the speed

limit on the A134 through Northwold

between Pooley Farm and the Priory

School. Mr Jenkinson is set to under-

take a door to door campaign to hope-

fully get more signatures for his peti-

tion.

• It was noted that the picture placed on

the back of the notice board at Whit-

tington looks good.

• Comment was made that there are not

enough street lights along School Lane.

There are currently four light posts

along School Lane. This matter has

been raised before and it was decided

that the cost to provide further lights

would be too great. More lights are not

generally favoured at the present time

and it is more usual for lights to be cut.

However, an up to date quote for the

provision of extra lighting will be

sought as a guide for possible future

consideration.

• Mr. A Jenkinson expanded on the plans

to treat the chafer bugs. He reported that

treatment would be needed over three

years at a cost of around £1500 for the

chemical. Volunteers have offered to

THE VILLAGE HALL

TUESDAY OCTOBER 2�D

enquiries will be made regarding engag-

ing a local tradesman to cement the

seats in place. Three dog waste bins will

be ordered once someone has been

found to fit the bins in place.

• The Chairman has again requested an

invoice from the Village Hall for use of

the hall for Parish Council meetings for

the year.

• A further letter has been received from

Northwold Sports & Social Club re-

garding the proposed lease for use of

the building at the Playing Field. The

Club has offered to meet members of

the Parish Council to try to sort out

differences between the two parties

which need to be sorted out before the

agreement is signed. It was agreed to

meet at the Social Club on October 15th

at 7.30pm. It will be requested that at

least 50% of the Sports & Social Club

Committee attend the meeting to ensure

any decisions are agreed by a majority.

It would also be expected that the

Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary

and Treasurer of the Sports & Social

Club would attend the meeting. Concern

was voiced regarding the number of non

Northwold residents who should sit on

the Sports & Social Club Committee.

• Northwold Cricket Club and Northwold

Football Club are prepared to undertake

work to treat the chafer bugs at the Rec-

reation Ground. They have requested

financial assistance of £700 from the

Parish Council. It was agreed the Parish

Council would be minded to favourably

consider this contribution but would

need to know the total cost of treatment

and for the agreement with the Sports &

Social Club to be settled before any

grant would be made. 5.2 The Clerk’s Report

• The Highways Rangers will be visiting

the parish on

• The Parish Council will need to con-

sider the 2013 precept request over the

forthcoming months.

• The External Audit has been completed

and the “Notice of conclusion” of the

audit will now be displayed.

• A donation of £2500 has been made for

restoration work to be undertaken on the

Village War Memorial. A further meet-

Present: Mrs R Crisp, Mr M Peake, Miss

A Muir, Mrs S Jackson, Mrs S Leet, Mr F

Eglington 3 members of the public Apologies for absence:

04/09/12 were agreed as a true record. 4. Matters arising from previous meet-

ings:

• Concern was raised that no mainte-

nance seems to be undertaken on the

bridge along Common Drove. It is

believed this is the responsibility of

the Highway Department.

• Mrs. S Leet has offered to donate

trees to be planted at the Primary

School to commemorate the Queens

Diamond Jubilee. The Chairman will

liaise with the school regarding the

planting of around 10 to 15 small

ornamental trees.

• Gravel has been purchased using

income from Constables Charity

which residents of Little London

Lane have used to repair pot holes in

the lane. 5. Reports

BOWLS 100 CLUB As the light increased a large flight of geese

circled the river with great noise. Then an-

other wave of even more geese followed and

added to the commotion. With one accord

they all landed and ploughed up the water

sending out giant waves upsetting the fisher-

man's floats. Quickly the river returned to

calm but one float continued its movement

before finally disappearing and signalled that

mister pike was feeding. A rod bent and with

care the pike was played out, removed and

quickly returned. The break of day had been

the trigger and it was getting better and bet-

ter! So everything continued. The geese re-

mained in station all day and at intervals

contested each other with chasing and high

pitched nonsense. The rabbit warren over-

looking the river had its residents out scam-

pering here and there. A solitary heron

perched on the very top of her tree and just

watched. Within the river there was very

little action. The summer shoals of roach

and bream had long ago moved to warmer

and deeper waters. Although the pike had

had a feeding spree all had now returned to a

state of lethargy. The sedge waved in the

slight wind and an overall peace and laziness

ruled! The clock ticked away. A full moon had

been keeping watch all afternoon and now

glowed as darkness arrived. It was still long

before the call of teatime but the ghostly

shape of a barn owl glided across the river

and away into the trees. There was a definite

dampness in the air. Perhaps it would rain

again but then it sleeted and then it snowed.

It was the first snow of the season. All

around the picture changed to white. Shapes

became indistinct. Sky blended with the

ground. Trees and bushes laboured under the

weight of snow. Sometimes it eased but then

it resumed again. There was no real thought

of it stopping. Evening arrived with the new advent and in a

nearby church the multi-colours of a stained

glass window showed as a cheerful contrast

to the white. A congregation sang 'Oh Come

All Ye Faithful' and the strains drifted across

the fields towards the river. A robin red-

breast outside the church porch stood mes-

merised and cocked his head to one side.

Perhaps he was bemused by the snow or

maybe he was listening to the joyful singing.

It was certainly different to normal! Unbeknown to the robin it was Christmas

Eve and all was well!!

CHRISTMAS RIVERWATCH

Long nights and short days rule. Today any

sign of light was a long while coming but its

reluctance was understandable. A heavy

overnight frost glistened and the air had an

icy nip. Snow had been forecast all week but

nothing had happened. There had been a

brief spell of sunshine the previous day so

any thought of severe weather had been for-

gotten. Then it all began. Far away across the fields

and peeping over the silhouetted tree line

appeared a glow. A suggestion of red grew

and grew. Within minutes bright streaks of

yellow slashed the red and the sky showed a

wonderful sunrise. Instantly there was a

sense of well-being as the bright colours

spread a definite happiness. The drudge of

shadows and gloom had been replaced by a

new mood. Perhaps today would be a day of

change! A solitary fisherman sat in the reed beds.

They were tall and spent providing an ideal

shelter. Pike rods were already out and the

red floats bobbed away over the far side of

the river. As always the river Wissey ran its

course and was noticeably high following

many days of rain. Much of the bank had

collapsed with force of the excess water and

could no longer contain the river. A field was

badly flooded and repair work was now ur-

gent.

appear after the War, shortly followed by a

tin of biscuits (sugar icing and decorated

with white stick men) sent by a relative in

Canada. From the age of 5, I walked 2 miles to and

from school, rode my roller skates for

miles on end and tore down hills on a

“trolley” made from old pram wheels, 3

planks of wood and a length of rope. The

sophisticated models I made later on had

brakes and battery-powered lights. We had

outside dens and would play by the river

for hours, looking for Liverwort, etc. The

only time I remember being in trouble was

when my friend and I had been at the river

so long that my father sent the police as he

could not find us. From the age of 13, I

would go off on my bike for a week or

more at a time, touring North Wales or the

Lake District and staying in Youth Hos-

tels. No cycle helmets in those days! The immediate post-war years were very

healthy as food was so limited. I remember

vividly my mother's excitement at the first

banana to appear after the War, shortly

followed by a tin of biscuits (sugar icing

and decorated with white stick men) sent

by a relative in Canada. I spent my entire formative years in my

school uniform. I even have pictures of

myself on a family holiday when I was

about 7 – I am on the beach, fashioning a

speedboat in the sand, and wearing my

school blazer and cap! The alternative was

the woollen knitted swimming trunks

which kept falling down when they got

WHAT DOES THE DOCTOR

THI�K THIS MO�TH?

Some days do not start well. Last week,

after a poor night's sleep, I cleaned my

teeth with shaving cream, lathered my face

with toothpaste (well, the tube do look

similar) and finished by spraying under my

arms with an old aerosol of shaving foam

that I had been keeping in my cabinet for a

rainy day. That is the sort of start which

makes me anxious about using the motor

car! I suppose that it is just confirmation

that the birth certificate is “wearing out”

and it started me reminiscing about the

changes which have taken place since I

was born at the end of the War. Given the

knowledge which we now possess, how on

earth did we survive? Some of us were born to mothers who

believed the advertisements that smoking

was good for you and liked a drink. They

ate soft cheese, bread and dripping, raw

egg products and lots of bacon and proc-

essed meat, when they were available (I

was always told that the name “Spam” was

the acronym for Specially Prepared Artifi-

cial Meat but I suspect my leg was being

pulled). Having survived the birth, we

were stored in cots painted with lead-

containing paints and given toys similarly

painted. I grew up replete with tablespoon-

fuls of malt and caster oil. The immediate

post-war years were very healthy as food

was so limited. I remember vividly my

mother's excitement at the first banana to

wet. Wagon Wheels were enormous and

the penny tray in the newsagent was a

source of wonderment – Black Jacks 4 for

a penny, Aniseed balls the same, Traffic

lights 2 for a penny and Gob Stoppers a

penny each. For the young readers, two

and a half of those pennies became one

new penny at decimalisation. Life was quite competitive and we often

had to deal with disappointment. We had

Houses at school and the athletics inter-

house competitions used to horrible. I was

a good sprinter but I was useless at the

440, the 880 and cross-country. Teachers

would hit us with slippers, the side of a

ruler (really painful) or, worse, the cane

and they would throw the blackboard rub-

ber at us. Our parents taught us to be polite

(I was once severely berated for continu-

ing to suck a lolly while talking to a friend

of my father), gave us a good education

and backed the teacher up if there was a

problem. All in all, the circumstances were such that

we could have freedom to roam, had an

enormous amount of exercise, and learned

how to deal with success and failure. All this has reminded me of one of my

favourite authors, Gervaise Phinn, who

was a school inspector in Yorkshire many

years ago and has written entertainingly on

the subject. I read in one of his books the

other night that Rotherham, his home

town, does not have a twin town. Rather,

according to Gervaise, it has a suicide pact

with Scunthorpe. In those days, mad dogs

were put to sleep; he reminded me of an-

other old Chick Murray joke – a man told

his friend that he was going to have his

dog put down. “Is it mad?” asked the

friend - “Well, he's not exactly happy

about it”. It works equally well when the

again with people allowing their dogs to

The month of November always sees the

Northwold WI celebrate its birthday and

this year twenty seven members gathered

at The Chequers in Feltwell at 1900 on

Tuesday 13 November. To minimise our

carbon footprint appropriate car sharing

had been arranged and apart from one car

attempting to reach Feltwell via the

Wissington Beet Factory it all went well.

(In my defense, I normally go the other

way to Feltwell and I did realise I had

gone wrong within a few hundred yards.)

Once inside we admired various outfits –

including Doreen’s very smart turquoise

killer heels! Our tables had been laid out

in the conservatory and, once liquid re-

freshments had been purchased, we settled

ourselves down. Fortunately we are a

friendly group as the seating was a little on

the snug side – but it did ensure that we

didn’t get cold. Our waitress worked hard to serve the

right meals to the right people as quickly

as possible; Hillary had the brilliant idea

of giving everyone a little card with their

pre-ordered choices so the whole process

went a lot easier than some that I have

seen. Over the meal conversations flowed

freely as it was a rare opportunity to dis-

cover more about our fellow members and

everyone enjoyed themselves. Brenda proposed a toast to our WI and
