News on the Defibrillator
As many of you will know from previous editions of the Newsletter, there is a
group of people, led by Nicola Hibberd, trying to buy a defibrillator to be located at
a convenient place in the village. The Newsletter and Village Hall Committee both
strongly support this very worthwhile project. It could, literally, save lives.
The current target is £2500 to cover purchase of a defibrillator and a special
outside heated cabinet as well as installation. There will also be additional costs
for training and information sessions and it is essential that there are funds
available for replacement pads and for replacement batteries. The fund is already
over £500.
The Defibrillator Project team will be holding a Quiz Night on Friday June 6th at
7.30pm at The Plough Inn in Marsham. All the money raised will go towards the
Project so please come along and support this important venture. There will also
be a raffle on the night with some fantastic prizes donated by local businesses.
Teams can include up to 6 people. Tables will need to be booked in advance (there
are limited numbers) by phoning or emailing Nicola Hibberd – contact details

Carer’s Week 9th to 13th June 2014 In support of Carer’s Week the Patient Participation Group at the Market Surgery in Aylsham has arranged for an information morning to be held at the surgery on Monday 9th June. An adviser from Norfolk Carers will be on hand to answer any questions, offer advice and signpost to support organisations. A private room will also be available for personal consultations. If you are a carer, or know someone who is, you might find it useful to see what help and support is available for people doing such a valuable job. The session will take place from 10am to 12pm. There will be information leaflets available and all are welcome.
Marsham Belles As part of the belated celebrations of 30yrs of the Marsham Belles, we are performing at two charity
strawberry teas.
Firstly, at the home of founder member Ann Eglington, Wheatsheaf House, Corpusty, on Saturday 5th
July starting at 2.30, raising money to help equip a school in Nepal.
The second event will be at the Village Hall Marsham on Sunday 20th
July, also at 2.30 in aid of the
Marsham Community Defibrillator Fund. Admission charge for both will be £3.50 which includes
some refreshments.
It has been a busy year to date.
We celebrated Valentine’s Day by decorating heart shaped biscuits which the children then gave to their parents
and we also made a card to give to the mums for Mothering Sunday. We also held an Easter Raffle to raise funds
for the group where many of the prizes were won by family and friends, including vouchers for the cinema in
Cromer, Family Membership for the Puppet Theatre, £10 gift voucher to be spent in the Theatre Royal, Norwich
and not forgetting the Easter Eggs.
This term we are going to Stompers in North Walsham on the 22nd May as the hall is being used for elections and
then after the half term break we will be making a card to mark Father’s Day. We are planning to hold a ‘fun
event & barbeque’ in the school summer holidays for past and present members, invites will be sent out in due
course.
In the meantime the children have enjoyed painting, playing with the playdough, the varied toys that are
available to encourage learning plus listening to stories and playing the musical instruments during circle time.
We are a very small group at present and would love to welcome more families into the group. So if you have
young children under 5 years of age, please do come and join us on any Thursday morning between 9.15 – 11.30
am during term time.
A very warm welcome awaits you from all of us.

Marsham WI
In April Ruth Smith was our speaker with her talk entitled “Life with Nanny”. She read excerpts from her
book about her memories of being brought up by her Grandmother and talked about everyday items from
her childhood days.
In May 6 of our members went to the Woodforde Group meeting which this year was held in Reepham
Town Hall. The speaker on this occasion was a Consultant Anaesthetist from the Norfolk & Norwich
University Hospital. He gave an amusing presentation on the history of anaesthetics entitled “Life’s a Gas”,
and is obviously a man who loves his job as well as talking to WIs in his spare time.
If you go to the Royal Norfolk Show in June look out for the WI marquee where you will see many displays
and WI information which might be of interest to you.
Our June meeting is on 25th
when our speaker will be Mr Brian Hedge with his talk entitled “Cradle to the
Grave” New or returning members are very welcome to come along and join our meetings, transport need
not be a problem as we could arrange for you to be picked up if you need to be – call me on 01263 732606
