Marsham Village News (25th Edition)

Marsham

Village News

25th Edition July 2014

The deadline for the next edition is Thursday 21st August 2014. Any articles, letters or adverts should

be sent to [email protected] or, if anything needs typing, to Linda and Eric at 3 Cranes Lane.

Great news from the Defibrillator Project on page 8. One of the

possibilities being explored by the group, like many other

villages around the country, is to use the telephone box to

house the defibrillator. With this in mind, they would like to

know whether anyone in the village still uses the phone box. If

you do would you please let Adrian Scargill know by telephone

(734488), e mail ( [email protected] ) or a note

through the door of 12 Old Norwich Road.

As mentioned in an earlier edition of the Newsletter, we are planning a World War One

commemoration issue with emphasis upon the men of Marsham who served in the 1st World War. We

have researched these men but if anyone could supplement that with photos or other information,

that would be great. We are planning that it will be part of our November edition.

A reminder that this is our last edition until September. Could I take this opportunity to thank Linda

and Eric for processing some of the letters and articles that appear each month in the Newsletter and

also our faithful band of volunteers who distribute and deliver it each month. Without them we could

not get it to every home in the village.

We hope that you have a warm and enjoyable summer. Dont forget the Starting

Handle Clubs Annual Summer Show. There are further details in this edition.

Dont forget to let us have details of any up and coming events which we will include on this page.

Send to [email protected] or deliver to 12 Old Norwich Road.

Letters to the Editor

The letters in this section are published unedited and do not necessarily reflect the views of the

editing committee. We see the Village Newsletter as a channel for people in the village to air their

views positive and negative.

It is good to see and read information

and news from a number of

contributors to the Marsham Village

News each month such as: The W.I.,

the Parish Church, the Parish Council,

the School, the

Village Hall and letters to the editor. It

was also good to read news from the

Parish Council recently about the

situation at the Marsham Waste Plant

and I hope that the Chairman's Annual

Report will be published in full in your

next issue.

Unless one is able to attend the Parish

Council meetings it is very difficult to

find out about the work being done by

the council on our behalf and the

decisions taken. The minutes when

they are put onto the notice board are

already four to five weeks out of date.

We are very fortunate to have such a

well produced and attractive

newsletter supported by local traders

and delivered free to every house in

Marsham.

The Parish Council is at the hub of any

village community and it is vital that

they communicate with all their

parishioners as much as possible. What

better way than using the medium of

the Marsham Village News.

Yours sincerely

Will Ching

Starting Handle Club Summer Show

We again have many entries for this years show

featuring exhibits from all parts of the country.

Peak Vale Tractor Pullers will be returning and

they are hopeful of increased numbers of

participants for this the most powerful motor

sport on earth. The main parade ring feature this

year will be a Farming Year Display, this will

feature all the activities of the farming year with

vintage machinery, some of which is very rare and

is unique to the Marsham Show, and will not be

seen anywhere else in the UK. On Saturday

evening we will be having a tractor road run

around the local villages, followed by a hog roast

and barbecue and music by Farmer Dan and his

Irish Showband. This will be open to the public at a

cost of 9, it is essential to pre-book for catering

reasons, tickets will be available at the show. On

Sunday we have a special visit by the City Of

Norwich Pipe Band who will be performing a

marching and musical display. Also, of interest to

residents of Marsham, we will be displaying items

made in Marsham. On display will be the Soames

Steam Car and various other items manufactured

at the foundry, if any residents have any

photographs or memorabilia that can be added to

this feature we would be very grateful for any

assistance, contact Bob Parke on 01263 -732267.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards, Bob Parke.
