Bodham Playing Field
 |
The Playing Field Committee would like to thank everyone in the village who
supported our first combined Yard Sale and Car Boot. To say that we were caught
off guard by the sheer volume of stalls and visitors would be an
understatement. Thanks go to Roger, Fiona, Kent, Karen and Jemma who came along
to take a look and ended up donning the Hi-Vis jackets and helping out. We
literally could not have done this without you. We raised a massive £575 after
expenses, a big dent in our target. We plan to have another one, possibly two
next year.
For those of you who do not know, we came second in the Tesco Blue Token scheme,
this was specifically to get new recycled plastic picnic benches for everyone to
use. These will be installed once we know exactly where to place them. Thank
you to all who put their tokens in our box.
The Playing Field is going to be used as an overflow car park on the 1940's
weekend 21st and 22nd September, this is a huge break for us as it is a means of
raising what we hope will be a significant amount for the fund. To do this we
will need four people from 9am - 6pm, we are not asking anyone to do all of it,
but if you can volunteer for an hour or so I can then put together a rota. It
will involve directing people from the gate to the payment booth and a further
person to show them where to park and we are going to open the Cafe at the same
time, so if you are happy to do a stint in there, that would be great.
As we have our first Bazaar on Saturday 21st (1940's weekend moved their date!)
Paul, Kerri and myself will be tied up for a few hours on the first day.
We are not going to be having any more Tuesday Jumble Sales with Tabletops,
these involved a great deal of work for minimal income. Instead we are going to
be having Bodham Brunch Club 10am until noon. The first one will be on Tuesday
1st October and we hope that you come along for some refreshments and a chat.
We will work out from talking to you all what, if anything, you would like us to
provide on those Tuesdays.
Following our consultations with the village, we have asked for three quotations
and designs for the field to include everything that was asked for. Once we get
these, we will have a better idea of how much we need to raise. The plan will
be to fund raise for individual items and get them installed as soon as we can.
Lastly, a huge thank you to M&J's Plant Paradise, Becky, Tyrone and their
children who have donated some fruit bushes and trees to be planted on the
field. The plan is to have some fruit for people using the field to munch, any
not used will naturally be eaten by the birds and wildlife or will rot into the
ground. They will be labelled so that people will know what they are and that
they are safe for human consumption.
We hope to see you at some of our upcoming events. |

North Norfolk Photographic Society |
North Norfolk Photographic Society attended the Artists Showcase on August 11th
and were pleased to meet so many people, both visitors and locals, who showed an
interest in the pictures on display as well as purchasing cards and prints. We
would like to thank all the Bodham Village Hall Committee for all their hard
work in putting this together and hope to take part in future events of this
kind.
The Society starts its meetings again on September 4th. However the first
meeting is not at the Village Hall because we are having a photographic outing
to Cromer, meeting by the pier entrance at 4 p.m. If anyone would like to come
and join us for a couple of hours of photography you are quite welcome to just
turn up or contact the Membership Secretary to let him know you are coming. His
email is membership@nnps.uk.
The first meeting in the hall is on Wednesday 18th September starting at 7.30
when we will be having a speaker talking about photography in Venice, which I am
sure will be very enjoyable whether you have been to Venice or not.
Further details of all the programme are on the website
nnps.uk.

Community Connectors |
What does an ‘Age Friendly’ Community look like to you? What would make
Sheringham a more ‘Age Friendly’ place to live and visit. We are looking for
opinions and comments on these questions to help the planning of an upcoming
project. It’s possible that your thoughts could be based on the following eight
areas of Healthy Ageing…….
Outdoor spaces and buildings • Transport • Housing • Social
participation • Respect and social inclusion • Civic participation and
employment• Communication and information • Community support and health
services. Or something completely different!
Your opinions on these areas could help us shape our project and contribute to
Sheringham and other towns in North Norfolk becoming ‘Age Friendly’ communities.
There will be questionnaires available in The Red Hart and the Village Hall
for you to complete before a brief presentation on my visit to the Community
Cafe on 24th February [after the scam talk]
