marsham village news (25th edition)
DESCRIPTION
The 25th edition of the re-launched Marsham Village News.TRANSCRIPT
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. Don’t forget the Starting
Handle Club’s Annual Summer Show. There are further details in this edition.
Don’t 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 year’s 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.

At our May meeting we discussed and then voted on the 2014 WI Resolution about organ donation
which calls on every member to make their wishes known, and to encourage members of their families,
friends and local community to do likewise. Although 80% of the population say they are willing to
donate their organs only 30% are on the register, and 3 people die every day waiting for a transplant in
the UK where organ donation consent rate is among the lowest in Europe. There is no upper age limit
and registration can be made on-line, when you renew your driving licence, and donor cards can be
picked up at health centres and many other places.
We also discussed final arrangements for our craft entry for The Royal Norfolk Show. If you visited the
Show perhaps you took time to look around the WI marquee and have some tea and cake.
We now look forward to our summer supper meeting in July. In August our speaker will be Graham
Davy with his subject “Not worth much but valuable” and in September Max Marriner from the
Association for the Blind.
Our August meeting is on 27th
in the Village Hall. New or returning members are very welcome to
come along and join us, 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 or email at [email protected].

News from Marsham Primary School
Last week, we held a Family Learning Morning at school.
This began with a wonderful session with the story teller
Paul Jackson. Children, family members/carers and
teachers alike sat enthralled listening to him tell a story.
He had us all in the palm of his hand, totally captivated.
You could have heard a pin drop!
The rest of the morning consisted of 4 activities that the
children and family members rotated round:
Creating symmetrical patterns using both natural
and man-made materials
Making a leaf man out of clay
Creating pipe cleaner minibeasts
Outdoor PE games led by Ryan from Football
in the Community
A great morning was had by all. A big “Thank you!” to all
family members and carers who joined us.
Our 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. We also need
to ensure that we have funds
available for replacement pads and
for the future replacement of
batteries. If you can help with
fundraising or would like to make a
donation please contact Nicola
Hibberd on 01263 733557 or email
Thank you
Marsham Community Public Access Defibrillator Project
What a brilliant month of fundraising and donations.
Our new total now stands at £1198. Thank you to all those who attended our recent
quiz at The Plough Inn raising £270 on the night and to the children at St Michael’s
School in Aylsham who raised £88 at their recent Mufti day. Individual thanks to Mr
Dale for his donation and also to the Marsham resident who generously donated
£100. The Parish Council have also donated £100 on behalf of Marsham residents
from money raised through the recycling bins so thank you to everyone. We had a
very enjoyable afternoon on Monday 19th June with the children at Marsham School
who are designing some posters to help us with our fundraising. They were very
enthusiastic and keen to learn about the defibrillator project. Thank you to the
children and staff for your help. Look out for the posters around the village in the next
few weeks.
