And it is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts. 14 COCKTHORPE Contact: Maurice Matthews 01328 830350 maurice.matthews@peppard.net WELCOME TO COCTHORPE My husband Stephen, myself Lucy and our daughter Ettie have recently moved to Cockthorpe. What a lovely little friendly village it is. We have also moved with our two little dogs Thomas and Russel, and we also have 5 horses in our busy lives. Stephen is a farrier and runs his own business mainly working on the North Norfolk coast. Lucy works for a local catering company, coordinating wedding and dinner parties in the local area. In our spare time (not that we get much!) we love spending time riding and competing our horses, and spending time out on Blakeney Point. If anyone ever needs anything or help, we are always more than happy to help out. lucy.blowers@btinternet.com FIELD DALLING Contact: Julie Wiltshire julie_wilson75@hotmail.com ST ANDREW’S CHURCH Remembrance Service Sun 13 th November 10.45am The joint service for Field Dalling and Saxlingham is in Field Dalling this year. We gather as communities to signal our gratitude to those who gave their life, for friend, family, Monarch and country. Do join us if you possibly can, it matters so much to those who continue to suffer injury, flashbacks and a changed way of life due to the conflicts in which they served. St Andrew’s Christmas Fair in the Villagers’ Hall Saturday 10th December morning Save the date! More details in the next issue! VILLAGERS’ HALL Hall Refurbishment The Villagers' Hall is undergoing a major refurbishment and some will have seen the builders working on it. The extension (committee room) is the prime area of activity with the old (rotten) wooden cladding being removed and replaced with modern synthetic dark grey cladding. During the work all the wooden structure has been checked and replaced if necessary. Modern high value insulation panels have been fitted as well as new modern uPVC doors and windows. The roof is now corrugated metal, which matches the main hall roof. Hopefully when completed we will have a usable small room which can be used for smaller meetings as required or as an adjunct to the main hall. The new cladding will be added to the outside of the main hall north side to improve appearance. The work technicalities have been engineered by Dave Snow and we all owe him a vote of thanks for his efforts. Steve Collins

With 140 members, the prize money has increased to £65 per month from August. As always, we would welcome more members - so if you are new to the village or have been here awhile and not yet joined would you consider joining us? If you would like more information on the 50:50 Club, please contact either Myfi Everett on 01263 860035 or John Blakeley on 01263 861008. John Blakeley ST MARY’S CHURCH NEWS The Eagle has Returned The foolish thieves of the heavy oak lectern had sold it to a Norfolk scrapyard. We had accepted the sensible advice from the police station to publicise the theft, with the best photograph we could find and a public-spirited member of the public got in touch with Fakenham police to say they thought they had seen it for sale. Most efficiently the police recovered it and, after all enquiries were satisfied that it was ours, strong members of the constabulary put it back in its place in the nave. Grateful thanks are due to the member of the public and the Fakenham police for excellent work. Like the hard pressed social services departments, the police usually receive only poor publicity but they could not have done better for us. By the time you read this, the eagle will have secret markings so that if ever anybody takes it again and it is recovered it can be the more easily identified. The high point of August for the church was the christening of Fleur Olivia Waterfall, though she did not seem personally to enjoy the dousing with Gunthorpe water. On the usual second Sunday of the month, the 14th of August, the Rector managed to blend the usual Matins, according to the Book of Common Prayer, with the Baptism Rite – and keep the whole within the customary fifty-five minutes (at the end of which the 15
