supported my husband John and myself through the latter stages of John’s illness. The staff and volunteers provided the most amazing care, but in out-dated and cramped facilities. There is now an opportunity to build a new hospital, closer to the main N&N hospital, but we need to raise £12.5 million to ensure this development can go ahead. Many of us in this community have needed, or will need the help of Priscilla Bacon Lodge. Please come along on August 31 st to support us and tell everyone you can, to come along also. Also in support of the project and starting in mid September, I will be walking the 800 KM of ‘El Camino de Santiago de Compostela’, just me and a rucksack. It should take me just over 5 weeks. To find out how to sponsor me, please come to the coffee morning or email me: amaundrell@live.co.uk. Amanda Maundrell FIELD DALLING & SAXLINGHAM SUMMER FETE Saturday 10 th August, 2-4pm, Villagers’ Hall Our annual fete will be held as usual at the Villagers’ Hall, Holt Road, Field Dalling. Final plans are almost complete and all the traditional stalls and games will be present with plenty of things on offer as well as one or two new ideas. Any final contributions for the stalls can be left at the Villagers’ Hall on Friday 9 th August and homemade cakes and buns on Saturday morning. It is our main fundraising event of the year, and the more we have, the more we can raise. In addition there will be refreshments with teas and cake, hot dogs and strawberries and ice cream throughout the afternoon plus excellent music provided once again by the Norfolk Jazz Quartet who return by popular demand. Everyone is welcome and many of our visitors like to return each year, so please come and bring your families, friends and visitors with you. There’s lots on offer, from trying your luck and having fun with the games, browsing or purchasing something from the stalls, or just sitting and enjoying the atmosphere and refreshments whilst listening to the music and having a chat.

Hopefully you will have noticed a new bench has been installed just outside the village hall, a place to rest and chat with fellow villagers. Also recently installed is a new set of white PVC glazed front doors allowing light into the inside hall. As a consequence a limited number of keys have been issued. Coffee Mornings The next coffee morning is on Wednesday 14th August. Coffee mornings are held every second Wednesday of the month in the village hall at Field Dalling, 10.30 a.m. to 12 noon. Why not pop in to try the fresh coffee, tea, homemade cake and biscuits? It’s a great chance to meet new people or catch up with old friends. Refreshments are free of charge, but donations are gratefully received. Hope to see you there. A date for your diary: Wednesday 11th September is the Autumn Special coffee morning.

The accounts for the year have been posted on the Friends N/B at the Institute, but the bottom line is that the 50:50 Club and Coffee mornings contributed £1,045.62 to the charity in the past 12 months - a small 16
increase on the 1017/2018 total. Thanks to all involved for joining the club and for your support - especially the members who help with refreshments at the monthly coffee mornings and Myfi Everett for organising the event. If you have not already renewed, or are new to the village and would like to join, can we please ask for the subscriptions for the next year, ie from now to May 2020 inclusive, to be paid as soon as possible, It costs just £1.00 per month (payable in advance for the remainder of the year to May 2020) to join and you can get your subscriptions and more back if you are lucky enough to win a prize. As confirmed above the 50:50 Club contributes over £1000 per annum to the “Friends” funds. Payments can also include your “Friends” membership of a minimum of £5.00 per annum (or part of a year), and a cheque, cash or BACS payment of just £17.00 per person will cover both. Cheques should please me made out to FOGPC. BACS payments can be made as detailed below, but please inform John Blakeley (e-mail: jbconsult@ btinternet.com) if you pay by BACS so that records can be kept up to date and you do not miss the chance to participate in a future draw. Some subscriptions are already “rolling in” so thanks if you have already re-joined. The Friends membership and any other donation, but not the 50:50 Club subscriptions, can be Gift Aided and if you have not already completed a form we would, be most grateful if you could consider doing this – provided you are and remain a taxpayer of course. NAT WEST Bank plc Sort code 53-50-73 Account number 25727532 To once again quote the motto of a somewhat larger lottery can we remind you that “you have to be in it to win it!” Myfi Everett & John Blakeley ST MARY’S CHURCH NEWS In May, Jeremy and Marie Denholm very kindly organised the annual churchyard clear up. What a great job everyone did and our thanks go to all who helped and especially Marie and Jeremy It was quite a social affair with delicious hot sausages provided by The Hall, to enjoy after all the hard work. Fred’s bench is in place. Well done John and Diane for organising it, and thank you to Michael Bunting for securing it in place. Fred would have been thrilled. It sits tucked away on the south side and is in a real sun trap. A lovely, peaceful, place to enjoy. The annual churches’ bike ride will take place on September 14th. Sadly, David and I will cycle for St Mary’s. Would anyone like to join us? Sponsorship would be most gratefully received! Penny Brough Church Warden FRIENDS OF GUNTHORPE PC As we have just finished another year and will have held our AGM before this issue comes out this is probably a good time for the Friends committee and I to thank all who have supported this past year, enabling us to continue to maintain the fabric of St. Mary’s Gunthorpe Church. By renewing your membership to The Friends (at a minimum of £5 per year) and The 50/50 Club (at £12 per year) we are able to continue this maintenance. Many of you very kindly add a donation to your £5 annual membership fee and we are truly grateful for this. The 50/50 Club, thanks to the diligence of John Blakeley and Myfi Everett - helped by Nuala and many others - continues to raise over £1000 a year. What a tribute to all who run it and participate in it and to support us. We have started the next year well, and many thanks to who have responded to John’s ‘hit’. However membership is slightly down so If you are not a member please consider joining us – as another well known organisations says ‘You have to be in it to win it’. The Committee, as always, has been great. Thanks to you all for making it fun… for never running out of energy. For collecting and recording subscriptions John Blakeley gets the Gold-Star! Thanks for running the 50/50 Club Coffee Mornings (John, Myfi, Nuala and all who contribute prizes and refreshments), for delivering our news in the 17
