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.

Marsham Community Public Access Defibrillator Project

Thank you to everyone who attended the Defibrillator awareness session in February which was very informative and gave us an opportunity to practice our CPR skills and become familiar with defibrillator use. We raised £35.50 as well through the raffle and refreshments.

We continue to fundraise to cover the annual Community Heartbeat Trust membership which includes the annual awareness session as well as the insurance, replacement equipment and Governance issues. This costs £350 each year. We are very pleased to announce that the Parish Council have agreed to support us annually through a donation of £150. Thank you to the councillors and everyone in the village for this money which allows us to have this emergency life saving equipment in the village in case of a cardiac arrest.

To raise further funds we will be having a second-hand art and craft stall at the Church craft exhibition and fayre on May 2nd. If you have an old painting, sculpture, piece of pottery or item of local craft which you no longer want and would like to donate to us to raise funds for the defibrillator project we would be very grateful. Please contact Nicola Hibberd on 01263 733557 or [email protected] or Heather Daniels on 07746383739.

We are happy to arrange to collect any items.

Thank you

Marsham Meet and Mardle Our next meet up at the village hall will be on Friday 4th March from 10am till 12. John Simmons, a representative from the North Norfolk branch of Diabetes UK , will be coming along to give a short talk and lots of information on Living Well with Diabetes. On Friday 1st April Gillian Simpson will be giving a talk on Flying for a living which promises to be

very interesting. We are pleased to announce that we will be receiving a grant of £250 from the EDP Community Chest Fund. Thank you to everyone who has been collecting the EDP tokens for us-a real community effort. This will enable us to continue to provide the sessions for free so do pop in for a drink and chat. If you know of anyone who lives alone and perhaps has become more isolated recently do encourage them to join us. We would also love to welcome any younger Marsham residents so if you would like a cuppa and some interesting conversation do pop in. Babies and toddlers (with an adult and some toys) are very welcome. For further information please contact Nicola Hibberd on 01263 733557 or [email protected] If you need any help with transport please let us know.

Thank you again to Stephen Cook of Fengate for another of his poems –

Maiden River “Trees waver endlessly in a

forever-changing wind”,

Said the poet to one inquisitive, “To what? she grinned, For inside, round about and up above, Nature’s answers flew in flights of graceful love. “Just for you”, she deeply smiles

through her eyes, The days like mornings, in thoughts arise, Through valleys quiet and fragrant, flowers and odd dreams, Love in crystal streams. In glades of garden sunlight, where men have duelled, Deep understanding or roses in a field? The heart’s feeling cries,

In shadows of maybe joy, like tidal love in indivisible ink! The web of a spider takes time to weave, I think. Stephen Cook October 2015

Marsham WI

Members were welcomed back at our January meeting and we look forward to our programme for 2016. After the business part of our meeting we enjoyed some poetry and favourite readings which members had brought along. We already have quite a few dates for our diary which include for March a Fitness, Food and Fun day at Great Witchingham and an International Women’s Day event at The Forum. Forthcoming

events at Federation Office in Norwich include a monthly Nosh & Natter lunch, a Patchwork and Quilting day and training on Web design and Facebook for those who wish to improve their IT skills. Our March meeting will be on 23rd at 7.30pm in the Village Hall when Trevor Hewitt will be coming to talk to us about the wartime American Air Crash at Frettenham. Our programme for 2016 can be seen on the WI board to the right of the kitchen door in the hall. If you are a woman interested in joining us please come along and give us a try, you will be made most welcome.

Upwards for Marsham Raising money to repair All Saints Marsham Church tower and porch and install a water supply to the Church

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a provisional grant of £248,100 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for our project. Well done to the PCC for all their hard work and especially Tom and Susan Crane who completed the application with the help of Colonel Kenneth Grapes; an amazing achievement and more positive news for our community. We now begin the work of the development plan which needs to be completed by September this year. By the time this goes to press we will have enjoyed the quiz at the Plough. Thank you to everyone for your support. Our next fundraising event will be the coffee morning on Monday March 28th 10-12 and then on May 2nd a Craft Exhibition and Fayre from 11-3. Please see the separate poster in this edition for more details on booking a table. Both events at Marsham Church . For more information about the project , or if you would like to make a donation or help with fundraising, please contact Jean George, Brenda Warman, Nicola Hibberd or Ray Bourn .Thank you
