Duncan Industries, started in North Walsham by Ian Duncan and Alan Lambum, moved to Haveringland in 1947, setting up a production line in a redundant R.A.F. hangar nearby St. Peter's church, with a workforce which quickly grew to around 140. The main objective of the business was the development of a small car called the Dragonfly, supporting work being the building of hand-beaten aluminium bodies on Healey, Alvis, Daimler and Bentley classics, together with the production of a fast sports car called the Spiv and a modified model called the Tenbosch. During a recent chat with David Rogerson, who was Work's Manager at Haveringland, he expressed the opinion that the Dragonfly was many years in advance of its time and could well have become the mini-car of the future. It embodied front-wheel drive, independent wishbone suspension, hydraulic brakes, constant velocity universal joints, 10 inch Dunlop wheels and a 500cc twin B .S.A. motor cycle engine. Many of these features reappeared 10 years later in the Austin mini designed by the late Sir Alec Issigonis. Duncan obviously foresaw a great future for the Haveringland car industry. According to a report in the E.D.P. at that time, he was looking for a further 100 employees and had plans for the development of housing and social facilities for his workers. These ambitions were, however, ruined by post-war economic troubles facing the govemment which brought about the introduction of purchase tax in 1948 and which would have put up the price of Duncan's cars by as much as 50 per cent. This led to severe financial problems and eventually Duncan was forced to dispose of his equipment, stock parts, patented designs and drawings, together with the only two Dragonfly cars which had been completed, to the Austin company for £10,000. page 2 �By June 1949, Duncan Industries had disappeared from Haveringland. A tragic ending to a brilliant entetprise, destroying any immediate prospects of resurgent village life at Haveringland. George Kett Footnote: A snippet of useful (?) information I obtained from David Rogerson is that used Rolls Royce Merlin engines from the airfield were dumped in a nearby pit. If I could think of a ready market for worn oui rusty, corroded aero engines, I might consider organising a 'dig'. Or I might not.

PUB RUN/CYCLE RACE On November 6th 1988 a race was held around the past and present drinking houses of Reepharn to raise money to provide a second defibrillator for Reepharn Surgery. Despite descending mist and a relatively low number of entries the event.was a success for two reasons. Over £150 wast raised but equally iInportant it gave' a chance for the entrants to learn a little of the history of Reepharn. Most of the entrants did not know that there have been fifteen public or ale houses in and around Reepharn or indeed that . places that they know well were at one time a pub. Thanks go to the entrants and all their sponsors. A similar event will be held next year when we would hope for better weather and more entrants. page 6 �fJ1ie 9{?epliam 9vfagazine REEPIJAM METHODIST CHURCH HAS A FACE-LIFT Major renovations are being undertaken by the Church for most of you will have noticed scaffolding and debris around the premises.

The Playgroup has had to suspend their meetings (and we acknowledge with gratitude their help and co-operation) and also it has been necessary to move Sunday Worship to a near-by house on a temporary basis . . for two/three Sundays. We are looking ahead to having premises which will be suitable for today's needs both for ourselves and the community.

Denis Fox (Pastor) NICKY WALLER PATIENT CARE FUND The fund was set up in September 1985 after Nicky's death from cancer. Just prior to her death Nicky requested that any monies given should be used to improve the care 01 patients before, during and after any treatment. Nicky felt that relatively low cost items could be provided in hospitals and for home use that would improve patient comfort. Such an example are the Tendercare mattresses and pillows which make bedridden patients more comfortable and reduce bed sores. Nicky was ·an AttIeborough girl but her Aunt, Jeanette Overton, has made people in Reepham . aware of the fund and has done sterling work. in raisingmoney for the fund. Local people have benefited from the fund as eguipment has been donated to the Cottage Hospital at Aylsfiam and, of course, over £2,000 was given towards the first defibrillator for Reepham Surgery and over £1,000 towards the second defibrillator. . . To date over £15,000 has been raised for the fund and there are a number of people in hospital or at home whose lives have been improved by donations from the fund. There are a number of events scheduled and/or plaIined which will raise more money for the fund and I hope that the people of Reepham will continue to show their generosity in continuing to support what is obviously a very worthwhile cause. page 7 �'l1ie 1\?epliam Magazine OBITUARY TO JOHN STIMPSON It is sad to report the loss, just before Christmas 1988. of Mr. John A.B.Stimpson, a prominent farmer and land owner. Mr. Stimpson of Hackford Hall, Reepham, was born at Park Farm, Bixley, where his father farmed. It was from Bixley that he joined the army. This was in September 1940, serving with the twelth Royal Lancers. In 1941-42 he served in the western desert, before becoming ADC to General Leese, Commander of the Eighth Army in Italy. During 1944, Mr. Stimpson was with General Leese, when the General was made Commander-in- Chief of A.L.F.S.E.A. in India!Burma Theatre. Mr Stimpson left the forces in April 1946, with the rank: of Major. He was mentioned in the 1947 New Years honours list, for services rendered during the Second World War, being awarded the M.B.E. From 1946-50 Mr. Stimpson managed Park Farm, Bixley, famous for its herd of Large Black Pigs, which won many prizes at the County and Smithfield Shows. In 1950 he took over the management of the firm 's transport company Stimpson & Sons, which he improved with more uptodate lorries. Mr Stimpson moved to Hackford Hall in 1952, and was married to Mrs. Rosemary Packard in March the following year. Mrs. Stimpson had a son Michael and a daughter Frances by her previous marriage. Following their marriage they had a daughter Mary and a son Hugh, now both married Mr Stimpson took great interest in the local affairs of Reepham, serving on the Parish Council, and as a Church Warden. He also served as a Magistrate at Reepham, and later at Dereham where he became Chairman. He also had a great interest in the Royal Norfolk Show, of which he was Honor~ ary Director, from 1960-66 and 1973-80, a total of fifteen years. page 8 �'l1ie ~ep/iam Magazine WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK! There have been an increasing number of reports in the press questioning the safety of British tap water. A growing number of people are worried about tlie possIble risks to health from various impurities. In 198.0, the EEC approved a directive relating to the quality of water for human consumption. This was then implemented in 1985. Critics of the <I,uality of the UK water supply found that tests carried out after this date, for instance in Norfolk, showed levels of impurities far higher than allowed in the directive. They formally complained to the EEC but as yet no legal action has been taken. Many people have stopped drinking tap water in favour of the bottled variety - all expensive alternative, but according to 'Which' magazine (February 1989) this is usually no less free of bacteria and impurities than tap water. Buying a domestic water rurifier is an option which an increasing number of consumers are taking up. Microstraining punfiers are the only water treatment devices available which can be classified as purifiers as opposed to mere filters. . The Seagull IV range is produced in the US by General Ecology and is now available in Norfolk. The unit is installed directly into the incommg water main, usually in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. . The Seagull range has been extensively tested in America and results verified by the InstitUt Pasteur in Paris, amongst others. They can remove 99.99% of contaminants, including pathogenic bacteria, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, aluminium, lead and radioactive particles. Unlike many other water treatment devices, however, it leaves intact the beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. Most m ~jor international airlines use Seagull units to purify their on-board drinking water, indeed British Airways have just ordered 300 units for their fleet. The Seagull IV units are constructed from surgical quality stainless steel. The two models recommended for domestic applications, the X-IF and X-2F, are compact and fit neatly under the sink with a separate tap on the sink top which delivers pure drinking water. With water as pure as this, so conveniently available, hot and cold drinks, rice, pasta, vegetables and all cooking can be done with pure water. Tlpical flow rate of the X-IF is 1 gallon per minute. When the cartridge has reached the end o Its life, the flow slows down and eventually stops. The average cartridge life is 4,000 litres which in an average household is one year.

WALKERS EARN GIFTS OF COMFORT FOR PATIENTS Nicky Waller Patient Care Fund representatives and friends met at St. Michael's Hospital, Aylsham, to hand over gifts of comfort. Eight mattresses and a wheelchair cushin!1 and back cushion for patients to use were bought with £800 raised by a variety of events. The money was earned by Mrs. Jeannette Overton and her friends, ofReepham, through a sponsored walk in which Sister Brenda Price and five nurses took part, plus a raffle and tom bola stalls at local events and an entry in the fun run on Reepham's Gala day. The mattresses were presented to Sister Price by Dominique Rudd, who raised £74.51 in the fun-run, and 83 year old Mr. Jack Cooper who walked 2 1/2 miles on four occasions and raised £68 as a "thank you" to the hospital. Also at the presentation was multiple sclerosis sufferer Mr. Peter Elvin, of Foulsham; who was presented with a comfy cover for his wheelchair by Daniel Alford The fund has so far provided Mr. Elvin with a mattress, a cushion and back cushion for his wheelchair. (Article takenfrom North Norfolk News - October 1988) page 11 �'11ie ~epliam Magazine DOCTOR PRAISES A COMMUNITY EFFORT People living in Reepham and the surrounding villages have rallied round to raise more than £4000 in six months to buy a life-saving defibrillator for use by local doctors. The mammoth fund-raising effort began spontaneously after Dr. Michael Price, of the Park Lane Surgery, used a defibrillatorto help save the life of a Stratton Straw less woman who suffered a heart attack in December. Afterwards Dr. Price said the emergency had brought home to him the value of doctors having tbeirown defibrillators. People in the area decided to raise the money for the machine. Contributions ranged from a £200 donation from Mrs. Mary Eacott, the woman who had suffered the heart attack, to two seven-mile sponsored walks along Reepham's disused railway line. On Tuesday evening the cash for the defibrillator was handed over to Dr. Price and his colle&gue, Dr. Barbara Kelly, when more than 100 people went along to the Old Brewery House, Reepham. A cheque for £2,099 was handed over by Kerry Woodhouse and Rosalind Tuddenham, of Cawston, and Sarah Crisp and Daniel Alford, of Reepham, on behalf of Mrs. Jeannette Overton, of Sun Barn Road, Reepham. Mrs. Overton had organised events as part ofthe activities of the Nicky Waller Patient Care Fund, which wac:; established three years ago following the death from cancer of her teenage niece. A furtber£2112 was handed overby Mrs. Joan Rudd, of Richmond Rise, Reepham, who had been among the many active fund-raisers for the Defibrillator Fund Dr. Price praised the community effort behind the fund-raising and said the machine, which is being bought through the Norfolk Health Care Trust, would also be capable of monitoring heart problems as well as actIng as a life-saving aid in emergencies. The defibrillator will also be used by partners Dr. Paul James and Dr. Frances Price on call from the joint practice in Aylsham. Since this article was written, the residents of Reepham have contributed to the cost of a second . de fj brillator.

VlLLAGERS' GIFTS TO SURGERY People of Reepham and Cawston have rallied round and raised £1800 to buy equipment for Reepham Surgery. A defibrillator was presented by Mrs. Mary Eacott of Stratton Strawless. Dr. Michael Price had saved Mrs. Eacott using a defibrillator bought with money from the Save a Life' Appeal, organised by our sister paper, the Eastern Daily Press. A sonic aid foetal monitoring machine was presented to midwife Denise Rose by Mrs. Jeannette Overton, who raised £1155.50 of the £1800. Mrs. Overton organised eventS as a thank-you to all the local people who had supported the Nicky Waller Patient Care Fund since 1985, following the death ofher.16-year old niece from cancer. She also presented trophies to Rosaline Tuddenham, of Cawston, and Sarah Crisp and Daniel Alford, of Reepham, for their fund-raising work last year. They presented Mrs. Overton with a bouquet, on behalf of the doctors and the defibrillator fund, in recognition of her efforts. page 13 �CREEPING SUBURBIA , Deve lopers' move in with shrieking saws" Their only care, the profit they will show So trees are felled, that once, entrapped the stars, And ancient oaks are soldfor timber now The maiestic elms, that stood for centuries .

Please send details of information you want published, and letters or articles on any subject to the editor at the address above. Reepham Parish Council - who is on it and what does it do? The Council is elected every four years (this one's term of office expires in 1992) and consists of 12 councillors. Their statutory responsibility is to ensure that the streets are lit, and the dead are buried. In our case, the P.e. does much more, predominantly in the area of providing leisure and recreational facilities. For instance, it owns and administers the Town Hall. In addition, it now owns 13 acres up at Stimpsons Piece and is looking carefully at the possibilities of extending recreational facilities in the Town. The P. C. also has to administer the market place and collect the rents from the stall-holders. It has decided to employ, on a part-time basis, an individual to help keep this part ofthe town clean. Perhaps you think this aspect of the Council's work could be extended? Please write and let me know.

The building was left to the people of Reepham and surrounding parishes by Samuel Bircham in 1919 as a warmemorial - to be used as club rooms and a reading room. The part now leased to the County Council as a library broadly fulfills the bequest and several of the other rooms are used regularly as meeting rooms for small clubs. Five or six years ago, after an upsurge of "Let's provide more community amenities", the Bircham Centre became the focus of a need to improve and enlarge. Thankfully, the building was improved and renovated, especially the roofing. This cost nearly twice as much as estimated because the rapid rise in building costs unfortunately took off at this time. However, the Committee and donors managed to pay for it all by March 1988. Since then we have continued to raise ca<;h to improve the heating and decorating. Meanwhile, in 1988 another charitable family had followed Sam Bircham's lead and very kindly donated a leased field, known as" Stimpsons Piece", to the town as a gift and the Parish Council is purchasing the adjoining field. So now the idea, broadly, is to build on and use the playing field area for the larger clubs (mainly sport-based) and continue to improve the town centre and Bircham Centre area for the small indoor clubs and societies, archives and library, etc. and hopefully to establish a daygarden at the back. I say, hopefully, for needs are one thing, but with the best will in the world one cannot foresee with certainty and no-one can expect the voluntary members to take on too much. The present management of the Bircham Centre consists of voluntary members from clubs and societies in Reepham, plus other volunteers from the members of the public. This is the usual Charity Commissioners' Scheme of Management for what they call "village hall" type buildings. The present chairman feels that this particular scheme is not ideal, for membership changes very frequently - often 70% change each year - thus providing little continuity. Also with more "best will in the world" many Committee members cannot contribute as much time and energy that voluntary community halls demand. . Every Community would tell you the same story - that a few stalwart members of the community aim to provide facilities. They either hllve to provide many hours of voluntary effort to keep the cost of using the facilities within reach of the numerous small clubs and societies or increase the price of hiring to cover more professional help, whereupon several small clubs have to close. The result is stalemate and the building becomes the proverbial white elephant. This must not happen to the Bircham Centre area. We know that once the improvements have been made, management will become a lot easier and perhaps the estimated four hundred people who now go through that Market Place entrance every week will double in number. However, we do need continuing cash for some time yet. The Deeds of Covenant that were offered to us four years ago, mostly ceased last year. They had been a welcome source of income. (It means that if a tax payer kindly donates a set sum to the Centre each year for at least four years, the Bircham Centre can claim back the paid tax as well- i.e. £20 per annum for four years is £80 and, depending upon the rate of tax, it will be worth approximately £100 to the Bircham). lfyou can help in this way, please get in touch with Dr. Arthur Garrett. Meanwhile, the Management Committee will continue running the building as well as they can. If you haven't been inside the 'Bircham' recently, please do so. Inside are notices relating to clubs, etc. W.I.Market: Wednesdays 9-11; Library: Wednesdays and Fridays. On Friday, the Library remains open until 8.00 p.m. The building is a great asset. It gets no money from public rates, other than a rate rebate and unfortunately, running costs grow, as we all realise with our own homes but we will continue the improvements although it needs hard work and patience and the good will of you all.

Concern over Planning Decisions The Parish Council has become increasingly concerned over decisions reached by Broadland District Council's Planning Committee that are directly opposed to the wishes of the majority of the local population. To this end, a letter has been circulated to all the Parishes in Broadland District requesting their views and details of any matters relating to planning that they consider have received the same treatment. When we consider that all who wish to reply have done so, a dossier will be compiled and copies forwarded to the Secretary of State, Broadland District Council, the news media and any other interested parties for whatever action they may wish to take . . Management Plan for Whitwell Common A management plan for Whitwell Common has been initiated and the necessary legislation is being formulated To tbis end, Public Notices have been posted regarding any claims of ownersbip, etc. and when these, if any, have been settled the final arrangements can be completed.

Counselling is for anyone having problems with a relationship; some people are in their teens and some are retired, many are married but some are engaged or living together. Relationships can encounter problems for many reasons. Actually committing themselves can make some people feel trapped, the arrival of children can impose all sorts of strains, teenagers or step children can be hard to cope with, remarriage, retirement and bereavement can all create unique problems. Relationship Counselling tries to help a couple understand themselves better. Very often understanding whatthe problem is helps to improve things. The Counsellor doesn't blame one partner or tell people what they should do. The aim is to help people 'listen to themselves' - and one another and to see how they can help themselves in a way that feels right for them. Counselling is completely confidential; some couples come together, some' come separately. Sometimes just one partner comes. Counselling may last a few weeks or longer if people feel they need help over a longer period. Although 'Relate' asks people to make a contribution to the cost of counselling, this is discussed with a Counsellor and if people can afford to pay only very little or nothing, that is all right. If you would like to know more about Counselling, telephone Norwich 625333, 10.00 a.m.-3.00 p.m . weekdays.

Frosdick page 22 �fJJie ~epliam Magazine GARDENING FOR CHILDREN If parents are interested in gardening, so most likely, will their children be - at least until an age of rebellion. Young children enjoy helping to sow or harvest vegetat>les. lJoys as well as girls like to be able to pick flowers. Young children's help in the garden does need to be on their own terms; pothing is likely to put them off for good more than jobs that are obvious chores. The children's own terms are often best met by having their own individual plots. Children need more than an out-of-the-way corner of the garden and a handful of left~over plants to encourage an interest in gardening. However small the plot, it must be well drained and fertile to ensure the maximum chance of success. It should also be in a prominent position, for-childre,n love to show off their gardens to visitors. The ideal size of the plot should be at least 3ft sq. with access from ,both sides, and mown grass is the ideal surround. The plants selected should be undemanding, yet capable of producing worthwhile flowers or fruits and give quick results. The range of flowers to grow is wide, but an initial selection can be made from those flowers which the small child can play with. Antirrhinums can provide endless fun for' 'nipping" noses, and double daisies can be grown to provide material for daisy chains. Foxgloves make tiny gloves for dolls and nasturtium leaves make dolls' hats. Amongst other plants which appeal to children are those that change with the time of day or the type of weather. The morning glory will rapidly grow up a wall and white flowers open early in the morning and close by mid-afternoon. The Californian poppy is another example, having brilliant red or orange flowers which open and close during the day. Mesembryanthemums and daisies are plants that will not open their flowers in damp or rainy weather. Gourds are unusual plants that will appeal to children because of their quick growth; they produce a range of strangely coloured and shaped fruit that can be dried and varnished to retain their colour. Loofahs and giant sunflowers can also be quickly grown from seed. If the child takes a keen interest in their garden it is a good idea for them to cut up seed packets to make scrap books showing the things they are about to sow and grow, thus keeping a record for them to look back on during the winter months when nothing is growing. Barbara Kent page 23 �%e ~epliam Magazine IN PRAlSE OF THE NICKY WALLER FUND As someone who has helped in \l small way to raise funds for this very worthy charity and has seen how Jeanette Overton works to ..ruse money, it saddens me now to realise that it may fall victim to something which is becoming more apparent. It appe;us that whenever something is begun by people lovingly involved in the fund, as Je~ette alld her family are, it can theq unfortunately be regarded as ready for 'take over'. . The Nicky Waller fund h~ su<;ceeded primarily ~cause of the dedication involved and the memory of someone who appears to have been a v~fY brav~ young girl. Money raised has gone to buy items much needed by the sickbotb in bospital and at hom~. In fa~t wbat is refreshingly obvious is that every donor or fund raiser knows exactly whe~ the money is being spent and that very little, if any, is spent on 'administration costs'. Personally, I wOl,lld ask Je1Ulette and her family tq carry on for as long as they feel capable of doing so, i.e., working tirelessly Taising as much money in Nicky's n~e as they can, and giving it to the worthiest medical causes. It appears that the p~ople in Reepham are not only extremely generous but also astute enough to recognise something which may perhaps be of benefit to them at some point in their lives, and realise that it may well be better left to those who work so hard purely from love. That the majority of the villagers agree with th~se s~ntiments · is blindingly obvious, if it is based on past respom;es jIIld I'm sure will be equally clear from future donations and help.

It is a fact that certain areas of the body require more careful attention than others. Sensible eating and regular exercise are not always enough. More important is what you use on your skin. Take your face, for example. "Moisturise your face as though it is fragile", caution skin care experts. "But watch what you use". For continued use of moisturisers, a non-comedogenic formula is clearly better for your face. "What are comedones?", you Il\ay well ask. They are the annoying bumps and eruptions that can so easily blemish your complexion. We are blessed with a climate that favours soft, smooth complexions, and it is tempting to take good skin for.granted. B~t what about those occasional bumps and eruptions? Are they just a fact of life? Maybe not. Maybe your moisturiser is getting into places where it doesn't belong. The fact is, the very moisturiser your skin depends on to stay smooth and young looking can also clog your pores, causing roughness and bumps. That is known as a "comedogenic" reaction. What a non-comedogenic moisturiser means to your face is that it will not clog your pores, cause unsightly blemishes, annoying bumps or red patches. Not even if you use it daily or over long periods of time. In an effort to avoid negative side effects, you may already be banning irritants like fragrance and colour, but that's not enough. The hidden comedogenic risk is there. The answer:Use non-comedo genic cream. Cream that is pure with no additives. Read the labels. If you are not sure wbat is in them, ask. If the sales assistant won't tell you, don't buy! Beautiful women must be silky smooth. So decrees the media. Just imagine Sue Ellen with hairy legs, or a stubbly Selina Scott - utterly unthinkable. The message is loud, clear and convincing. Even though the majority of wom~n have some degree of superfluous hair, the pressure is on to conform. British women in '89 give silkiness a high priority. And the old days of wrestling with a bar of soap and a blunt razor are past history. Waxing is today' s most popular method of depilation. Professionally performed, the whole procedure can be a quick, easy, virtually painless path to a silver screen smoothness. So ladies, why not give it a try, for a longer lasting effect page 25 �CJJie ~epliam Magazine DO YOU WANT TO SA VE SOME MONEY? If the answer is yes, then a phone call may be all you need.

Normally this time of the year we have sometimes had a two or three week spell off the road. Then its a bailIe to get into shape again. But as the sun each week is a little warmer the muscles work much easier. The countryside at the moment is full of colour with lots of early flowering. Since our cycling notes have been published in the Reepham Magazine, quite an interest in cycling hao; developed. Most people contact me for help at the Post Office. Anyone wanting advice to get started in cyclmg - touring or racing - full information will be given, plus cycling holiday advice. Congratulations to John and Joe Tym (Parent School Governors) who have developed a wonderful cycling club at the School. John has organised weekend trips, holidays and time trials. Many children have won awards through the English Schools Cycling Associations. Overall the school won the top prize - the Dunlop Trophy 1988. Whitwell Hall Country Centre was the base in March for an English Schools Cycling Association coaching course. Thirty two children took part and top coaches attended The course included lectures, videos and all practical advice on riding skills and lectures on hygiene, Qiet and clothing completed the course which only cost £2. It is hopoo to hold the course next year. Health and diet are foremost in people' s minds but with busy lives it is not easy to fit in exercise plans - someti~es it helps to start a pr<;>gramme by having a pa~ner to train .with.

I was taken from my Mum, before I could run. Metal tag in my ear, my navel sprayed blue, Saw this happen to others, in fact quite afew. Was carried into a pen, with two pails of my own, Fed pellets and milk, until I was well grown. At the age of one month, my horns had started to grow, Along came the vet, with stockman Bob, whom I know. Vet injected my hornbuds, so I should feel no pain, Then Bob stopped my horn growth, it was not in vain. I had a lovely polled head, with no horns in sight. Saw same treatment to my neighbour, a friesian black and white. I was paired with my neighbour. in a pen twice the size. We had no more milk, pellets and water our prize. . We reached our ninth week, a drench was gIven that day, With a repeat in a month. supposed to keep husk away. We were both little females, well bred, and pedigree. With our Mums in the dairy herd, we'd no chance to see. When we had grown bigger, were moved to a large pen, With four pairs of others, we now numbered ten. We were grown until Springtime, then off to a new home Mixed with twenty others, on a meadow to roam. Given meal in the mornings, in a shed by a lass. We frolicked on the meadow. soon learned to eat grass. By June we were thriving, so onto pastures new For the whole of the summer, my word how we grew. We had a shed for the Winter, littered with straw We had silage in mangers, self unloaded, why sure. Come Spring, loaded on floats, taken for a long ride . Went through a city. journeyed on, stopped by the roadside. We saw hundreds of cattle, red, brown, black and white. There were ditches to part us, and drinkfrom , day or night. We went back home in the Autumn, to graze on, ou/side. Us girls were all sorted, our Mothers milk yield applied. Now back on the pasture, with Tommy Bull as hour host, He would wander around, and love us all, was his boost. /lis name was Tom Hereford, his face was snow white, If anyone 'came near us, he would give them a fright.

There were so many requests for concerts and other pre form ances that it became a problem finding time to prepare for them. Events included an Easter Concert at St. Mary's Church, Reepham, a Summer Concert at the Old Brewery House, a Concert for the Reepham SocIety at Whitwelf Hall, Christmas Concerts at St. Mary's and Bawdeswell Churches and at Halsey House, Cromer, a Concert for St. Mary's Church Flower Festival, and a concert with the Aylsham Band for the Reepham defibrillator fund. We also san~ when asked at church services at which we also performed anthems. The concerts and practices leading up to them have all been most enjoyable, if quite hard work at times. The variety of music involved is considerable, as may be guessed from the above list of occasions. In addition to sacred music, special carols, extracts from oratorios, cantatas, and so on, we sing arrangements of folksongs, madrigals, modem arrangements from, for example, the Beatles and Flanders & Swan, extracts from Gilbert and Sullivan, and arrangements by our own conductor, Bernard Frankland; and this is by no means a complete list. We have over 25 members now. There has always been difficulty in getting enough men, but our bass line is stronser than ever at present with six men. The tenors, though stron~ in quality, are short in numbers, bemg never more than three. Any tenors around who would like to Join them? The sopranos and altos always seem in good supply and good voice, but new ladies would be most welcome. Many of the singers have been with us for years, and some since we started, getting on' for a decade ago now, but some excellent newcomers have joined the group over the last year or two, particularly perhaps in the bass and tenor lines where most needed - though here agam we could always do with more (particularly tenors, as already indicated). Our main plans so far for this year are a concert in SALlE CHURCH on FRIDAY, 9th JUNE, and, looking ahead, our annual Christmas Concert in St. Mary's Church, Reepham. We also hope to sing on the occasional Sunday in Reepham and Heydon. We practise at 7.45 on Wednesday evenings in St. Michael's Church Hall, Reepham, so do come along if you would like to sing, or ring our conductor on 872391. Like the RATS, we frequently have extra practices during the weeks immediately before a concert. We are fortunate in havmg Canon Gordon Dodson as our pianist (and organist) both at concerts and for a practice or two beforehand: he usually obliges with a solo at concerts; also Saraband (of whom Richard Danby is now one of our basses) who perform at our principal concerts and sometimes accompany us; and of course the Primary School Choir and Band usually join us at our Summer and Christmas Concerts.

Despite the great disappointment of having had to cancel the pantomime in January, we are still very much alive and already have our programme mapped out for this year. We were very lucky just over a year ago to secure the services of Barry Rix who comes from Norwich to our weekly rehearsals (which become more frequent as the date for a show draws near) and he now produces nearly all our plays and pantomimes. We duly put on the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk in January last year which played to full houses and was well received. We won a certificate of merit for a short play we put on at the Amdrarn Festival inApril- this was a festival in which about ten Norfolk societies took part. In September we staged three short plays under the title' 'Three for all" , although there were in fact four if you include the opening sketch. The plays were all comedies and were well received, we think. At the end of the year the 'flu bug and other unforeseen calamities took control forcing us to postpone (rather than cancel) the pantomime, Dick Whittington, planned for January. We were quite simply unable to have enough full rehearsals, and had we struggled on with the pantomime we think it would have been a disappointment to us and to the audience - it certainly would not have been up to the standard we normally achieve. However, with this set back behind us, it was all hands on deck for our next production ' No Time For Fig Leaves' which was successfully staged at the end of April. Our next project is to stage the pantomime in December this year, if the hall is available; otherwise it will be held in January, as before. This time we should have several months in which to rehearse, and hopefully DICK WHITfINGTON will be our best pantomime yet. All in all we are very pleased with the present state of our society which has acquired a new keenness and determination amongst its members. Past difficulties are behind us and we are sure that from now on we will go from strength to strength. If you would like to join us in any capacity, why not corne along to one of our rehearsals at 7.45 p.m. on Tuesdays in St. Michael's Church Hall; or ring 870410 or 870393.

The original three members have now expanded to twenty-one and it is hoped that by the end of April this year, there will be a fully accredited Rotary Club meeting at The Ol.d Brewery House, Monday evenings. Rotary is short for Rotary International which is a world wide association of service clubs for professionals and businessmen. The clubs exist to provide a service to communities at local, national and international level and the membership of each club is drawn from the business and professional life of the community in which it is situated. Membership of Rotary is limited to those persons who the existing members of the club feel could contribute both towards the aims of Rotary by representing their particular trade or profession within Rotary and who are also outstanding members of their own profession who can represent the aims of Rotary within their own trade or profession. Thus being a member of Rotary is a signal honour which affects the lives of the members both in terms of their profession and in terms of their meeting with other Rotarians. The in itial obligation of all members is to attend 60% of the weekly meetings of the club and it has been decided that the Reepham and District Rotary Club will meet in the evenings since in these days of increasing competition, it is becoming harder and harder for professionals and businessmen to take off time during the day when they really need to be at work. The Rotarians as a whole are involved in service to the community by giving their time, energy and professional skill towards particular projects or enterprises. Frequently this is carried out by way of fund raising, although not always so. One way in which many Rotary clubs have been able to give service in recent years is by the provision if disaster packs. These are large cardboard containers which contain the essentials of life for protection, purification of water and preparation of food and these packs are flown out to areas where there have been major disasters. Survival packs have been taken to Mexico City and Russia during the recent earthquakes and also in the past to places such as Bangladesh after several floodings. One of the most ambitious projects undertaken to date by Rotary worldwide is the Polio Plus Campaign which is aimed at immunising all the world's children against polio, plus measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and tuberculosis by 1990, with the aim of totally eradicating these diseases. The objects of Rotary are therefore to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1. the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2. high ethical standards in business and profession; the recognition of the worthiness of all usual occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3. the application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life. 4. the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace, through a world-fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service. Rotarians are encouraged to think of the four~way test in respect of things that they think, say or do. The tests are:1. is it the truth? 2. is it fair to all concerned? 3. will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. will it be beneficial to all concerned? It is hoped that over the coming years, the Reepham and District branch of Rotary will be able to contribute towards the local community as well as to the national and international community.
