    in digital & online at www.thebrecklandview.cue Number 204 - September 2013Who wants a bigger,

    better shed?Very few men, over a certain age, will say no tothis question. And very few wives with husbands

    over a certain age will agree to having a bigger,better shed in the garden!A shed can be many things to its owner- aworkshop, repair room, den, retreat, garage, toy

    room, cafe, meeting place, relaxation room and adozen other things too.But what if you don't have a shed? What if you have

    just retired and money is tight? What if you want to

    do some wood-work but need the use of a router, a

    pillar drill or a forstner bit (whatever one those is!)and you haven't got one. You could ask yourneighbour but what if he doesn't have a shed either? We are proposing to set up a Community Shed,here in Wayland, that will be a place whereeveryone can share the tools, equipment and

    resources needed to work on a project on your ownor with others, at your own pace, and in a safe,

    friendly and inclusive environment.

    It will be a place of skill-

    sharing and informallearning, of individual pursuits and communityprojects, of purpose, achievement and social

    interaction. A place of leisure where old, and not soold men, and women, can come together to work on

    and do stuff.By pooling effort and sharing resources, we can all

    have access to bigger, better, tools and facilitieswith the space to work and perhaps mostimportantly, a place where you wont have to puteverything away at the end of the day so you can

    get the car back under cover again. If you think you might be interested in becoming amember of the Wayland Community Shed, thencome along to a meeting at Watton Christian

    Community Centre in the High Street, Watton onThursday 12th September at 7.30pmIf you cant make the meeting then PLEASE register

    an interest by ringing Julian and Iain on 01953 858908 or emailing [email protected] think its about time we all had a bit more practicalfun in our lives and this could be just the place to get it!

    As a 14-year old school boy and

    budding organist Robert Wolfe visitedthe Thursford Collection in Norfolk

    and approached founder GeorgeCushing to ask if he could play theMighty Wurlitzer Organ. Mr Cushing

    happily agreed, as he was alreadyaware of Roberts musical talent, thatgesture was to lead to a relationship

    between Robert and Thursford that

    has continued for over 35 years. Littledid he realise at that time but that briefencounter was to be the start of a longcareer entertaining the summer

    visitors at Thursford. Before he tookup the full-time post as residentorganist, Robert, at the age of 16,

    became the youngest person to join

    the team playing at the famous TowerBallroom in Blackpool, home of Mr.Blackpool, the late Reginald Dixon.Incidentally, Robert played for Reg

    Dixons 80th Birthday party held atThursford. He remained seated at the

    world famous Wurlitzer in Blackpooluntil he was 19, returning to the

    Norfolk Museum occasionally for one

    off concert appearances. In 1981

    Robert was offered the role as the soloor resident organist, a first for both

    Thursford and Robert. Having beenpart of the team for three years ofwhat was essentially the British home

    of the Wurlitzer, it was a toughdecision to make. However, this yearsees Roberts 3rd year of consecutive

    summer seasons. It has proven a wise

    career choice to leave the PremierNorthern Seaside resort and head backto Norfolk. Roberts popularity as afirst class musician is reflected in the

    type of music he plays ranging fromthe 1930s to the present day, balladsto ragtime, dance music to light

    classical, including tunes from the top

    West End Musicals. Robert is oftenheard on Radio 2 and has beenfeatured on TV, including playing liveto an audience of around 20 million

    for The National Lottery.Robert will be playing the Lowery

    We held our August meeting onThursday 15th when our speaker wasShelagh Ashe. This time Shelaghs

    topic was The Winter Garden. Thismight have seemed a bit inappropriateon a warm Summer evening but it

    gave us a good idea of what we

    should be planning for. Many peopleput the garden to bed for the winter

    but looking at Shelaghs slides ofbeautiful winter scenes would change

    anybodys mind about that. Westarted off with slides of various

    plants covered in snow, frost and icethen icicles hanging from tree

    branches. Stunning. Shelagh thenprogressed to winter planting. Therearent too many flowering trees inwinter and most have insignificant

    flowers but nearly all of their flowersare strongly scented. This would

    cheer anybody up on a miserablewinters day. Examples are witch-

    hazels andwinterflowering

    cherries which go right through untilspring. The cherries arent so scented

    but are beautiful. If the garden isnt

    large enough for a tree there arevarious shrubs such as Mahoniawhich has scented yellow flowers

    followed by blue berries. A work of

    caution - most Mahonias have veryspiky leaves so mid or back border is

    best. The clematis cirrhosa varietieswill flower generously in winter.

    Shelagh had a slide of Freckleswhich is a lovely cream with spots of

    maroon inside the bell. Its a lovelyvariety but needs to be on a south

    facing wall or fence. Down fromtrees, shrubs and climbers are the

    perennials. Surprising numbers ofthese are evergreen and flower, a

    good example being bergenias.These have very large evergreen

    leaves and flowers held above invarious shades of pink. They look

    very good at the base of a wall and iflater flowering plants are in front theleaves are hidden when they are past

    their best. Cunning eh?Last of all arethe bulbs. The large varieties of daffsand narcissi look awfully messy while

    their leaves die down but small oneshave their messy leaves hidden laterand can die back naturally instead of

    looking awful. Last but not least was

    the February Test. How does thegarden look in February? Most of usdont have the acreage for rows ofupright yews but could possibly

    accommodate one small evergreentree as a focal point to encourage us to

    leave the house on a frosty day. If wehave rambling roses these can be

    pruned and trained into patterns thatare shown off in winter. They have to

    be pruned anyway so why not make ashow of the winter versions of

    summer floral abundance? Nows thetime to plan and shop. To finish off

    do a bit of comfy winter gardeningthat is in a chair by the fire with the

    seed and plant catalogues.Thank you Shelagh for winterinspiration. Our mini-show was

    entitled a floral arrangement i

    In your gardenwith Lotta PottsAh September. Forget all those dreary oldsongs like September in the rain or Itmight as well rain until September. No,its spring! This is the month to plant

    bulbs: daffodils, narcissi, crocus but nottulips and hyacinths as they should go in

    later, usually November. The ones that doget planted now are in the shops and garden

    centres so get going otherwise the bestones will be gone. If you are after specialvarieties the spring catalogues are out and ifyou dont get any through the door it is

    easy enough to find them. After all the

    growers want to sell them.If you thought September was the darkmonth of returning to work or school after

    the holidays think again. Theres lots ofcolour to be had and a very long list of

    plants that are at their best from now until

    first frosts or November whichever comesfirst. Without going right through the list I

    found courtesy of an expert, Ive picked out

    my favourites some I grow and some I wishI had room for. Theres a lovely

    photograph of a drift of purple michaelmas

    daises against one of rudbekia - I think itsGoldsturm. Purple and orange are

    opposites on the colour wheel and go verywell indeed together. Against these two

    bright flowers is a calming patch of greenleaves. It looks like a geranium (not the

    bedding sort which are pelargoniums butthe hardy perennial type). Another purple/

    yellow combination is verbena bonariensiswith yellow pokers. One plant I have not

    seen which is recommended for light shadebetween shrubs or a woodland area is

    actaea matsumurae White Pearl commonname bugbane. That sounds attractive!Actually its a 3- foot x 2 foot plant with

    spikes of fluffy white flowers. It looks likea delphinium, but apparently it doesnt havethe pest problems. Theres another variety

    with pink flowers. It needs reasonably well-drained soil containing organic matter.

    Should be fine in Breckland then. The

    clematis tangutica varieties have prettyfoliage and yellow and purple flowers -

    yellow on the outside purple in. Their otherattraction is the large fluffy seedheads seen

    at their best in autumn. You get flowersand seedheads together and its stunning. A

    good variety is Bill MacKenzie with deepgolden yellow lanterns. Tanguticas can be

    pretty vigorous, growing to 15-20 feet butare so light and airy its not invasive

    vigorous. After flowering they can bepruned to keep them within bounds. Thereare lots of other clematis in flowerincluding some of the large-flowered

    varieties and those that flower twice - oncedouble in spring and then again singleflowers in autumn. Clematis in flower in

    garden centres are a good buy as you know

    what you are getting. Even if you have topot them on until spring they will soon perkup.I appreciate that theres a lot of purple and

    yellow here so lets move on a bit. Howabout bulbs? Pink nerines or darker pinkSchizostylis in various shades: Major is

    mostly seen with 2 inch diameter coppery

    red flowers Sunrise a salmon pink. Thisone looks like a rather refined small

    gladiolus and at least if you find bulbs inflower so you know what youre getting or

    order from catalogues you dont have to askfor it! Another pretty pink is cyclamen

    hederifolium whose flowers appear beforethe foliage which lasts through the winterso a mass of them is a real bonus. The

    colchicums are at their best now and if youlike them dahlias give a massive show in somany varieties. Visit a village show to seethem in all their glory.Its a bit early for tree foliage to give us the

    amazing colour changes so thatssomething to look forward to in Octoberwhether your own garden, a garden you

    pass regularly or a visit to a famous garden.Shrubs, on the other hand, are still going.Perhaps the best known is the buddleja

    davidii with its purple (again!) flowers butsome are now available in darker shades

    and even pink. There is a new series calledBuzz and these are small enough to growin pots. Dont try that with the traditional

    shrub. This one needs pruning about three

    times a year so a potted one soundsHydrangeas in all sorts of blues an

    Hale Garden ClubSix gardens in Necton and one in HolmeHale were open on 25th July for members to

    view. The weather was glorious and, despitethe very dry summer, the gardens were acredit to their owners who went to great

    lengths to provide background information

    about the planting. There were some trulyinspirational stories.

    The gardens varied greatly in size and designfrom a gravel garden to wide herbaceous

    borders and floating beds. Most (even thetiniest) also found space for vegetables. Our

    grateful thanks to those members who werebrave enough to open their gardens. It is a

    great opportunity for everyone to exchangeinformation (and possibly plants).

    ommented on her liking of theover.r meeting on 18th September weding The Last Letter from Your

    by Jojo Moyes.

    A Quick LookRound By ORBITER At last summer arrived at the beginningof July, and we enjoyed a long hot

    spell, although just as the cry Its toohot for me began to ring out the usual

    break in the weather came, and in notime the country became flooded, just

    before hosepipe bans could beannounced. In spite of all the moansfrom gardeners about the long wetwinter ruining all the flowers, the

    displays all around the local area havebeen outstandingly lovely, and the crop

    of strawberries, raspberries, cherriesand the like has been really good.

    It simply goes to show that there is nopoint in worrying about the weather,things usually sort themselves out inthe end.There have been doubts raised locallyover the decision by the Post Office to

    close the Ipswich sorting office, thework being re-deployed to Chelmsford,and there have been fears expressed

    that our postal deliveries will bedelayed. However my impression isthat not much change will be noticed,

    since the difference in distance

    involved will be quite small.Nevertheless it is still rather disturbingto know that we in the Wayland area

    are so isolated as far as post goes, sincewhile the majority of us are currentlyserved by Ipswich, others come underPeterborough, both towns a good

    seventy miles distant, while a

    comparative few are served byNorwich, which would appear moresensible.Perhaps you noticed that there was an

    addition to the Royal Family a fewweeks back, and a jolly good thing too.

    But what a performance by thegentlemen of the Press! Why was it

    necessary for twenty or more photo-graphers to wait outside the hospital fora whole fortnight for the Duchess to goin ? In the event she was admitted un-observed via a rear entrance so their

    long wait proved to be in vain !

    Even stranger was the behaviour of thecrowd outside Buckingham Palace who

    queued in their thousands to file pastthe notice board confirming the Royalarrival, which meant an hour or more

    of waiting just to be allowed a merethree seconds to read Its a boy.

    The press coverage of the Royal eventseemed to exceed all previous bounds,with all the newspapers devotingdozens of pages, packed with pictures,

    articles, and pull-out supplements, sothat it seemed that there was no other

    world news. In fact, almost hidden ina small paragraph was the report of an

    earth-quake of magnitude 6.5 on theRichter Scale that had hit New

    Zealand, a story that in former timeswould have dominated the main pages.Once the excitement of the Royal birthhad subsided, normal service was

    resumed in Parliament, just before theybroke up for their summer hols. and

    quite a shock came when a Member

    suggested that Green Belt argumentscould easily be settled by widening

    their borders to suit individual cases.This, of course, caused a great furore,

    since maintaining the Green Belt hasbeen seen as the last line of defenceagainst the onset of indiscriminatedevelopment. While this is of

    paramount importance, perhaps it

    might be realised that there are certaininstances where the Belt, set out manyyears ago, might not be so suitablewhen the local circumstances have

    changed over the years. For instancenew industry may have arisen in the

    area, making housing for the workers

    an urgent need. Surely it would be farbetter to move the boundaries slightlyto accommodate their needs, for thelocal prosperity must be moreimportant than worrying about a few

    meters of green grass.The other week there occurred what

    must have been a first in the world ofadvertising . My national newspaper

    was contained in a large double sheetadvert for a well-known carmanufacturer, at the head of whichthere was a notice stating Your Daily

    Telegraph is inside.

    Thus my newspaper had been relegatedto the status of a pull-out supplement toan advertisement.

    How crazy is that? Actually it

    appeared to me that the whole advertwas a bit of a waste of time since I, andno doubt many other readers, simply

    discarded the cover unread, though it

    does seem to be a rather ominous signof what the future may hold. But Isuppose enormous advertising spreads

    bring in large amounts of revenue, soperhaps the usual annual price hike ofmy newspaper may be avoided.

    (Some hopes ! )Being one of the older generation I

    am really disturbed by the amount offilthy language that seems to be thenorm on television today. It has

    become prevalent in all comedy

    programmes, where every comedianprecedes each noun with a swear

    word, which does absolutely nothingto enhance the content of the show,

    which is a pity since most of theseperformers can be really funny whenthey stick to their proper routines.This is not me being a prude, for I,

    like most of us, will utter a profanity

    from time to time, such as when Icatch my hand in the door, but Icertainly dont want my

    entertainment sinking in a sea ofthese words. Am I alone in feelingthis way?Much has been made of the greatreduction in the number of birds that

    visited our gardens and woods thisyear, and speculation has been rife asto the cause, but in nature every

    down seems to have an up, and thisyear the up is the increased numbersof butterflies that have appeared,

    despite all the predictions that they

    would probably have perished duringthe long wet winter. So, on balancewe havent done too badly.

    At the July meeting of the Inner Wheel Clubof Watton, members enjoyed a fascinating talk

    on the origins and benefits of Reflexologygiven by qualified Practitioner, Susy Hancock.

    She began by explaining that Reflexology canbe applied in various parts of the body

    including hands and ears although it usuallyrelates to a special form of massage to the feet.

    The feet are thought to reflect problem areasin the rest of the body, for example, a back

    problem may be detected and relieved by amassage to the side of the foot. There is some

    evidence that Reflexology is a therapy datingback many many years, but it is known to

    have been introduced in the United States in1913 and in the UK in the 1930s. Memberswere shown how to use hand massage andalso handled some of the small tools which

    might be used during a therapy session. After

    answering questions from a very interestedaudience, the speaker was thanked by JaneBrodie.

    The Business Meeting, chaired by newPresident, Pam Challand, followed the coffee

    break.During August members of Watton Rotary

    Club hosted a number of Rotarians fromAustralia: the group also included one

    member of Inner Wheel. Traditionally, onoverseas visits, clubs exchange banners and

    thus Pam Challand (above left) was pleasedto receive such a gift from Ruth Shellie

    Overseas Representative from Shepparton,Victoria (above right). Pam presented the

    guest with a Watton banner in return.Inner Wheel ladies take a short Sabbatical

    during August but are already planning twomajor events for the Autumn A LunchtimeConcert in the Queens Hall on October 16th ,and Looking and Feeling Good, an

    afternoon guaranteed to make all ladies feel

    great at the Christian Community Centre onNovember 8th. Further details coming soon.Lesley Cowling Club Correspondent.

    The highlight for August was hosting the

    Rotary Friendship Exchange group from

    Victoria, Australia, for the first phase oftheir 12-day visit to our Rotary District.On Saturday 3rd August our guests weremet at the Holiday at Norwich Airport, and

    were welcomed by our District Governor,Bill Redmayne. He and his wife, Dorothy,

    joined us in the first activity: a visit to theCity of Norwich Aviation Museum

    (CNAM), where Martin Anscombeconducted tours of the Vulcan aircraft - hewas an Air Electronics Officer (AEO)flying in Vulcans in the 1960s). The

    complete Vulcan has been on static displayat CNAM for 30 years, and is in

    remarkably good condition. CNAM alsohas a complete Nimrod aircraft on display,

    it arrived about 30 months ago, and wewere fortunate to have as a guide to thataircraft an air traffic controller at theairport who was also an AEO and was

    experienced on Nimrods.Afterwards guests were transported to their

    hosts' homes in Watton and the nearbyvillages of Saham Hills, Ovington and

    Hilborough. Later that afternoon weassembled at a members thatched homewhere the guests tested their skills atcroquet, which was followed by a barbecue

    and a sing-song around the fire. Julian

    Horn, editor of this paper and the on-linemagazine "The Breckland View",interviewed several participants. To seeand hear the results type this link into your

    browser:

    http://bit.ly/13y6XNwOn Sunday it was Wayland Show day, the140th! We and our guests were privileged

    to be given 'members' status for the dayand we were able to use the facilities of themembers' enclosure adjacent to the mainring. Dairy farmer Ken Wood was

    impressed with the cattle on show and

    commented on the similarities andcontrasts in farming in an interview withthe Eastern Daily Press. Other members of

    the groups were interviewed by RadioWatton live on air; it was the first timeRadio Watton had broadcast on fm. Theday was rounded off with a soiree at a

    members Hilborough home, where Rtn

    Pat Murphy instructed initially reluctant

    participants in the art of country and Irishdance.

    Next day the threatened rain did notmaterialise until the evening, thus we

    visited Sandringham House and grounds innear perfect conditions. The rest of the day

    was at individual hosts' discretion. RFEofficer Martin, with Helen, took the Aussie

    group leader, Stuart Davidson and hiswife, Jeanette, to Norfolk Lavender andfound the facility much improved. Inwalking around the rear gardens near the

    unusual/rare breeds farm, what did weespy through the hedge: a wallaby, no less!

    On Tuesday we visited the Dad's Armymuseum in Thetford, and inspected Jones's

    Van now kept at the nearby CharlesBurrell museum.Following a pub lunch at the ThompsonChequers, the group called in at the

    Wayland Visitor Centre and DragonflyGallery, which was involved with the

    Brecks Awareness Week initiative. Wethen toured Rtn Andrew Barwood's

    plastics injection and engineering factory.On Wednesday 7th August, the

    programme was a t hosts' discretion, withBury St Edmunds recommended but with

    Is the pressuremounting? Do youKnow Your Numbers1 in 3 adults in the UK have high blood pressure

    and more than 5 million dont realise they have it.Total Health Pharmacist Geoff Ray says about it

    Many people are unaware what their bloodpressure is or the significance of it. It is known asthe silent killer. High blood pressure is easily

    managed but not if you dont know about it. It wasgreat to meet so many people at the Wayland Show

    but were also encouraging people to visit us as part

    of Know Your Numbers week to have a quickblood pressure test. Its free, painless and could

    save your life.

    Know Your Numbers Week is a national campaignrun by UK charity Blood Pressure UK and this yearis being held from 16th to 22nd SeptemberTotal Health Pharmacy is among around 1,450official Pressure Stations taking part in the

    nations biggest blood pressure testing event and isurging everybody to have their blood pressure

    checked.Geoff said Many people have no reason to visitthe doctor and consider themselves to be healthy.That is no guarantee that you have normal blood

    pressure and we would recommend that people

    take this opportunity to get their pressurechecked. Total Health Pharmacy is open 7 days aweek from 8am until late so it is very easy to

    pop in for a testThe Pharmacy is also asking for your help toencourage more people to have their blood

    pressure tested. Says Geoff, th is is our 7th yearof supporting Know Your Numbers Week. If

    you have been diagnosed with high bloodpressure following a free blood pressure test atthe pharmacy we would love to hear from you

    about the difference it has made to your life andhow you are managing your blood pressure. Total Health Pharmacy is opposite the Watton

    Medical Practice at 14 Gregor Shanks Way in

    Thought For The MonthFrom Revd Rod Broughall, St Marys Church, Watton

    September . . . holidays over, children back at school, darker

    mornings and evenings, winter coming . . . Oh, dear, all soundsdoom and gloom!But of course, it isnt. Every season of the year has its special

    attractions. The varied colours of the changing autumn leaves,

    clear star-lit nights (if you can avoid the light-pollution), thesmell and feel of a cold, frosty morning, maybe the landscape

    transformed by a covering of snow (in moderation, of course.)We all need hope, something to look forward to especially in

    the darkest days. There is, of course, a false hope, whichpromises much but delivers little.The person whose trust is in God has a certain hope that cannever fail. It is founded on the character of God Himself. He

    has promised that His love and mercy will never fail, eventhrough the most difficult and harrowing experiences. Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Theywill soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow

    weary, they will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40: 31). Where is your hope and confidence placed?

    Shellrock CircleFor the Over 50's of Rocklands andSurrounding District. Venue: The Village

    Hall. The Street. Rocklands.For those ofus who have not been able to make the trip

    down to London to visit the Palace, ourspeaker David Morton gave us a very

    interesting talk on the 14th of Augustabout the history of Buckingham Palace.He took us through its various stages of

    building and rebuilding by Princes, Dukes

    and members of the aristocracy until we

    now have what is the largest workingpalace anywhere in the world. This year itis exactly 100 years old. The site started

    out as a plantation for mulberry trees forthe production of silk to save the cost ofimporting this much favoured fabric for

    the garments worn at this time.Unfortunately, it turned out that the silk

    worms did not favour the type of mulberryleaves these trees produced, so the venturefailed. Buckingham Palace has 450

    resident staff and 300 non-resident staff. Ithas 78 bathrooms but no casual visitors

    are allowed to use even one of them. Wewere strongly advised to make use of the

    facilities on the coach before starting ourtour round the palace as even a quick dashround the corner to Victoria Station wouldinvolve us in having to queue for at leasttwo and a half hours before we got to the

    head of the line. After the historical andfinancial part of the lecture was over, wewere treated to views of various opulentrooms. The decorations of these rooms,

    which were breathtaking, left you wantingto go to Buckingham Palace to see the

    rooms for yourself.Our next club meetingwill be on the 11th of September and will

    start at 1 pm. We start off with a picnic onthe grassed area at the back of the hall.Lets hope for an Indian Summer'safternoon, but not to worry unduly, as we

    have the use of the hall in case of rain.

    However, please do not forget to fetch aseat and your own lunch. This is inaddition to our usual club activities so we

    will be collecting the usual subscriptionetc. The task will be letter "F."We will also be acceptingany donations you can make

    for the Autumn Fete on the

    21st of September. The bottlestall, tombola, raffle, and bric-a-brac stalls all need yoursupport. Cakes will be

    received on the day. Pleasedo lots of baking as this is a

    popular stall. Helpers pleasearrive by 11 am to get the hall

    ready for the doors openingat 12 o'clock.

    New members alwayswelcome.

    Back theBunwellBanger in theBattle of theBangersWhat can you say about a sausage

    made in Bunwell from Brecklandpork that has been entered into asausage competition?Well quite a lot actually, starting

    with Scotts Field Pork which is a

    herd of Large Black Pigs thatspend their lives in the shadows

    of Oxburgh Hall. Large Black

    Pigs are as beautiful as they arerare which is very very, very. The pork from these animalsdoesnt travel very far just to

    the other side of Watton to asmall South Norfolk village

    called Bunwell. Here KeithCharlish of The PaddocksButchery weaves his magic and

    using a secret recipe has createdThe Bunwell Banger.There is much that could be said

    about this rare breed banger but

    the best thing to do is taste it however I can let you know that

    Mrs Hammerton of Wymondhamsince tasting The Bunwell Banger

    has stopped importing hersausages from Derbyshire this

    is praise indeed.The Battle of The Bangers is anannual event that takes place

    outside The Forum in Norwich as

    part of The Norfolk Food &Drink Festival . This year it takes

    place on September 7th and TheBunwell Banger has asked to take

    compete.Now Bunwell is no ordinaryvillage and its banger is no

    ordinary sausage. It is, I believe,

    the only banger with its owntwitter account - it has alsostarted doing radio and pressinterviews and has kindly

    agreed to give the first of these toBreckland based community

    news website The BrecklandView

    Dear all this is to update you about the incredibleprogress made with your community shop over the

    last month.We are working closely with The

    Plunkett Foundation, an organization which workswith rural communities offering information,advice and support to help them take control of

    community and social enterprises. RocklandsCommunity Shop team was recently featured in thePlunketts online newsletter. We are getting a greatdeal of help and mentoring both in person and

    online or telephone from them, and we are very

    grateful for this. The legal structure of yourcommunity shop is being decided and we hope tohear soon from the Financial Conduct Authority

    (FCA). Rocklands Community Shop Ltd will be abusiness that trades for the benefit of thecommunity, and anyone can become a member.We have decided on a logo to give use a

    recognisable brand. As most of you will be aware

    the rook is part of the etymology of Rocklands orRooklands, and a rookfeatures on the village signand as part of the school

    logo. The committee feltthis was a symbol of the

    village, its history andcommunity spirit and the

    addition of the shoppingbag encompasses theessence of a community shop. Seventy ninehouseholds have returned their questionnaire from

    some 300 which were delivered or collected in

    person from the shop (we are still keen to hear fromyou if you want to drop very late ones at the shop)and the results are shown on the back of this

    newsletter. It is very important that we know whatyou want in your shop, and the replies are critical inshaping the future layout and stock of your

    community shop. 81% of you rated the shop asvery important, all extra comments in the

    questionnaires have been noted and will also play avital role in the kind of store we intend to becomeand what specialist products we stock and events

    we run. So far we have a list of 50 volunteers;people prepared to spend a couple of hours helpingout at your shop. The more people we have the less

    time everyone will need to commit to, volunteersare always needed, please contact Victoria

    ([email protected]) or speak to Alan andElaine. Many of you will also be aware of thefundraising and promotional activities we have

    held outside Alan and Elaines shop (and at theLittle Ellingham Working Event). This is to keep

    everyone up to date with the progress of yourcommunity shop and answer queries. It also allowsus to raise a bit of petty cash, and the cake tombola

    has proved very popular. Many thanks to thepeople who have turned up to donate freshly bakedcakes. We will continue to appear at various village(and local) events and at the shop.A reminder that

    this shop is your shop and is being kept open for

    the village. Minutes are posted and displayed everyweek in the shop, for more information contact anyof the steering committee members (contact details
