WELCOME TO COCTHORPE<br />
My husband Stephen, myself Lucy and our daughter<br />
Ettie have recently moved to Cockthorpe. What a lovely<br />
little friendly village it is. We have also moved with our two<br />
little dogs Thomas and Russel, and we also have 5 horses in<br />
our busy lives.<br />
Stephen is a farrier and runs his own business mainly<br />
working on the North Norfolk coast. Lucy works for a local<br />
catering company, coordinating wedding and dinner parties<br />
in the local area. In our spare time (not that we get much!)<br />
we love spending time riding and competing our horses, and<br />
spending time out on Blakeney Point.<br />
If anyone ever needs anything or help, we are always<br />
more than happy to help out.<br />

St Andrew’s Christmas Fair in the Villagers’ Hall<br />

VILLAGERS’ HALL<br />
Hall Refurbishment<br />
The Villagers' Hall is undergoing a major refurbishment<br />
and some will have seen the builders working on it. The<br />
extension (committee room) is the prime area of activity<br />
with the old (rotten) wooden cladding being removed and<br />
replaced with modern synthetic dark grey cladding. During<br />
the work all the wooden structure has been checked and<br />
replaced if necessary. Modern high value insulation panels<br />
have been fitted as well as new modern uPVC doors and<br />
windows. The roof is now corrugated metal, which matches<br />
the main hall roof. Hopefully when completed we will have<br />
a usable small room which can be used for smaller meetings<br />
as required or as an adjunct to the main hall. The new<br />
cladding will be added to the outside of the main hall north<br />
side to improve appearance.<br />
The work technicalities have been engineered by Dave<br />
Snow and we all owe him a vote of thanks for his<br />
efforts.<br />
