Ascot came early to Watton this
month when Watton Evening WImembers donned their fashionable
clothes to go racing.
However Ascot was not the chosen
venue but a members home where
they enjoyed racing on the silver
screen. Races from Bath, Wetherby,Lingfield and Great Yarmouth were
included and the eagerness of the
members could probably be heard
several streets away as they urged
their horses and jockeys toward the
winning post.Pimms and refreshments served,
winners congratulated and raffle
drawn. All agreed it had been a good
evening. Our hostess was thanked
and presented with flowers.
We were pleased to hear that theBran Tub at the town event earlier in
the month had been well received
especially by the children and that

WoodvandalsMore than 50 meters of fencing at
the edge of Wayland Wood has beenripped down recently and other
damage has been done by vandals to
vegetation within the reserve, which
may take years to recover.
John Milton, Head of Nature
Reserves for Norfolk Wildlife Trust
said: Norfolk Wildlife Trust owns
and manages Wayland Wood. Many
Watton residents would be aware of
the spectacular display of flowers,
that great visitors to the woodespecially in April and May. Over
the last few years Norfolk Wildlife
Trust has had a lot of trouble atWayland Wood with litter, especially
in the car park.We have also had bench seats
vandalised, including memorial
benches in memory of loved ones.
During the recent Easter holidays we
had further problems with vegetation
guards, which are part of our
scientific monitoring program, being
removed and causing important data
to be lost which was guiding our
management of the site. Also ground
was disturbed by digging in several
areas and wild flowers such as

ame is Naomi, 29, and I am
of two from Thetford, and
s say I am looking radiant after
t 10lbs weight loss with
ming World.
ided I needed to lose weight
y after my youngest child wasand I saw my best friend shed
ds for her upcoming wedding
ating fabulous food, so I asked
fill me in on the plan and the
wing week I joined my local
.
nervous walking through those
whilst pushing my baby in the
as I just didn't know what to
t. My fears soon vanished
I received a warm and friendly
me from my consultant Shani
and the rest of the group rst weigh in after joining was a
orable one, she lost 8lbs in her
week and got an award for
g over half a stone! Within 13
s I had lost 10% of her body
ht and was feeling great!
6 months of attending my
y group I'd lost 2 stone and felt
dent enough to book my own
wedding. Dress shopping was
amazing , before I would have
been wearing a size 18/20
dress , but not now, my dress
was a size 12! I felt a million
dollars!
I have continued to loseweight and reached her target
of 2st 9lbs weight loss before
her big day!
I really love the Extra Easy Food
Optimising Plan, easy to follow and
so flexible - not like any other diets I
had previously tried (and failed), this
was real food and NO hunger, not a
diet at all!!. I love to cook and buy
every copy of the SW magazine to
keep trying new recipes!
My favourite family meal is
homemade cheese stuffed beef
burgers and chips. I get my kids to
make their own, it's messy but fun! Life got pretty hectic around the
wedding / honeymoon time so I
stopped going to my weekly group,
after a few months I could tell the
weight was creeping back on so with
the support of my best friend I
rejoined my group and have lost the
weight again and more whilst
enjoying fabulous food and a glass of
wine as nothing is forbidden!I love the freedom and choice of
Slimming World, and the group
support is invaluable!
I lead a pretty full on, active life with
my husband and two little boys so
being lighter has helped me keep up
with them when playing football and
bike riding, something I would have
avoided before!
I have now decided to share her
knowledge and support with opening
my own group in Watton on a
Thursday evening at Watton junior
school, 5.30pm & 7.30pm.
Call me on 01842 763745 for more
info or see you there!!

Dance Awayat the Queens Hallllroom, Latin and Sequence
ancing at the Queen's Hall,
.m. to 11 p.m. admission 4ly 6th, August 3rd, Sept 7th
In your
gardenwith Lotta PottsJune didnt exactly bust out all over,
did it? One good thing, the rain we hadin lieu of spring left quite a lot of wet
behind in the soil so planting was goodand weeding even better. If nothing
else grew the weeds managed it. Thefoliage on the spuds is wonderful,
better than for years and with a little
luck we wont get blight for a while. Ido hope that isnt a classic case of
pushing my luck. And so on to July.Many people take summer holidays inJuly. If you are among them, dont
advertise your absence to people whomight be interested in relieving you ofyour possessions. Even if they cannotget into the house you probably have a
mower, maybe a strimmer, a variety of
tools (hand and power), oil in thevillages, maybe even a car left in thegarage if you didnt need it for theholiday. It seems obvious to lock the
garage but what about the shed? Ifpossible lock any gates leading to theback garden and protect the oil tank.
Depressingly it is well known that you
cant stop a really determined thief.However you can make it as difficultas possible and enough deterrentsmight encourage them to go elsewhere.
The less obvious advice is not toadvertise your absence. Dont have
pots or hanging baskets visible from
the road unless you have someone to
look after them while you are away.Their sudden removal or deaths wouldmake it clear nobodys home. Do tryto arrange with a friend or neighbour to
keep an eye on things and water ifnecessary while you are away. A bribe
of a reciprocal arrangement or a bottleof something nice plus anything ready
to harvest should do the trick. If youcan manage to do all or even some of
these things you should be able tocome home again with the plants alive
and the toolshed and garden intact.Those of us staying at home this month
will still have plenty to do. If theweather warms up to hot raise themower blades so the grass is left
longer. It wont go brown so quickly.
Apart from very new lawns, dontwater grass. As soon as it rains it will
green up.There is a surprising amount of
pruning due this month. Roses needdeadheading and this as well as cutting
for the vase amounts to pruning! Thedreaded wisteria needs to be prunedthis month. If you have a newly
planted wisteria put in horizontal wires
and train a framework of main stemsalong them until it has reached the ends
of the wires. Now, cut back all thewhippy tendrils back to 15cm or 6
inches. This pruning stops the plantturning into a tile-lifting, drain
blocking jungle. It also forces the plantto grow short, flowering spurs with
fewer leaves. It will probably need
doing again in January or Februarynext year. If you really want a wisteria
but dont have a wall to train it along
(did you see the one that made thetelly? It was 13ft high and if memoryserves about 30ft long) you can turn it
into a standard. It can even be planted
into a tub as well as in the ground. Thetechnique is to plant it with a strongstake, tying it in every 10-45cm (4-6ins) then stop new shoots when it
reaches the top until theres a densehead. The standard (once established)will need pruning in July the same as
the one on the wall but its easier to get
at. Sounds like a challenge to me. Ihave seen wisteria grown this way andit does look spectacular.Back to the general pruning. One rule-
breaker is if you didnt manage to
prune forsythia as soon as it hadfinished flowering, light shaping can be
done until September. Now is betterand the sooner the better as forsythia
flowers on year-old wood. Leaveproper pruning until next year.Taking cuttings of clematis andsoftwood cuttings of shrubs also really
comes under the heading of pruning.Bedding and perennial plants should bedeadheaded with flowered stems oflupins and delphiniums cut out as soon
as they have gone over. With luck on
the lupins you may get a few smallerflowering spikes later on. Bearded irisshould be divided with the youngest
divisions replanted. Its probably best
to compost the old woody clumps.Herbaceous perennials will need a feedas now is the time they are at their
best. With a bit of tlc they will carry
on for weeks yet.Theres still time to be succession
sowing carrots, early peas for maturingquickly for a harvest in late summer/
early autumn. These will freezebeautifully for winter use. Also sow
spring cabbage, kohl rabi, turnips,endive, chicory, other oriental leaves.It may seem counter-intuitive to sownow but these veg need a long time in
the ground. If you have room or haveharvested something else it would be
very satisfying to have another crop onthe go for next year. Leave room for
overwintering onions and garlic to beplanted later on. Keep all crops well
watered during July as most veg willgo tough if it suffers stop-go on the
watering front, so keep them well
watered at all times. Other crops willbolt (run to seed) prematurely if thewatering is erratic. Most at risk are
cauliflowers, celery and celeriac butshould conditions be stressful othercrops will also bolt: lettuce, onions,
beetroot and radish are most likely to
do this. If you have runner beans theysometimes dont set - spray the foliageas humidity helps. They also needcopious amounts of water. The late
John Cushnie said of runners that theyneed watering even when its raining!On the subject of watering, keep on top
of watering containers as they will dry
out very quickly whether they haveflowers or veg growing in them. If thewater runs straight out next wateringthe compost has become bone dry sothe best thing is to drip water into the
middle of large pots so that it soaksright in slowly. As the ensuing puddle
disappears you can drip more quickly.Small pots can be stood in a bucket or
deep tray of water for some hours untilthey are heavy to lift. This shows theyhave absorbed as much as they need.This method also works for hanging
baskets that have dried out.Pests are pretty active in the summermonths. I suppose that is stating the
blindingly obvious but it would be a
shame to lose a brassica crop for the
sake of a little reminder. The bestthing is to look for the clusters of whiteor yellow butterfly eggs and squish
them. If you leave this youll have to
deal with the plagues of caterpillars. Itry very hard not to think of the lost
butterflies when disposing of eggs/
caterpillars. This year I have made a
complicated shield of mesh andhoops in the hope the butterflies

Garden ClubThe speaker at our monthly meetingon Thursday 23rd May was Trevor
Harrison from the Plant Centre atSouth Creake. The subject of his talkwas Unusual Plants in the Gardenand, as usual, Trevor brought lots of
plants to both ill ust rate his
pre sen tat ion and sel l to a hungryaudience. He began by explainingthat this year many people had lostsuch plants as pittosporum, hebe, bay
and lavender because of the very coldweather just as they were beginningto recover from a harsh winter. As
most of the unusual plants originate
from warmer climates, heconcentrated, in the main, on thehardiest varieties.The clematis Flammula has small
flowers in the Autumn but is highlyscented, tolerant of dry conditions
and not susceptible to clematis wilt.The Aromatica is a herbaceous
clematis which does not cling tostructures, although it will needsupport. A variety with an unusualtulip like flower late in the year is
Princess Diana.Among the roses, Rosa Primula,
called the incense rose because of itsper fume , i s easy t o main tain and does
not succumb to black spot mildewand Stanwell Perpetual is longflowering and will withstand harsh
winds and coastal exposure. Of the
china roses, Metabalis is mostunusual because the flowers changecolour from pink to red to orange.
Not surpri singly, species which
originate from the Mediterranean areapre fer dry sunny condit ions, althoughmany are hardy, such as Convulvus,
which is part of the bindweed family,
and Salvia Candelabra, which growsas a bush up to 3 feet with spikes offlowers up to 4 feet high. However,Trevor warned against pruning the
grey/silvery foliaged plants beforewinter. Many lavenders are killed offin this way.We were then taken on a whistle stop
tour around the world starting withthe Giant California Poppy, which
will die if it is moved and yet, established, will even appear th

occasion in the ever

h and the parishes of this
s the last service to be
by Revd. Geoff Garrett
his departure to a new
ry in Shropshire, and
ht to an end just over five
work in the parish here. se five years however, it
truly said that Geoff hashis mark. Not only in his,
Annes, participation and
engagement and service
nd in the community, but
also in bringing to fruition the
restoration and reordering of St
Marys Church.
During the extensive work it
was discovered, had not such
work been undertaken when it
was, the very fabric of the
church itself may well have
come to great harm.
So it was with heavy hearts, but
in hope for a bright future for
Geoff and his family, that the
congregations from many of thedenominations in the area
packed St Marys for his last
service and Communion.
Geoff has kindly given us this
message for readers -

wonderful places and good
friends behind.
However, as often is the case,such is life and we believe that
Shropshire is where we need to
be and where God has lead us to
for however long in the future,
just as we believe Watton has
been the right place for the last
5 and a bit years.
It has been a pleasure to have
been involved in many
community and church activities
and to have been a part of the
friendly and welcoming
community that Watton is.
Thank you for all the ways in
which you have enriched our
lives and we will always
remember our time here fondlyand will often think about what
is happening here.Farewell and God bless you all.

Sought for
Murder,

holding open auditions to cast
for their November productionMurdered to Death, a
hilarious spoof of the best of the
Agatha Christie traditions. This
whodunnitt twists and turns
with side-splitting antics and
ever-increasing merriment andconfusion
The play is a comedy set in a
country manor house in the
1930s and as you can guess
from the title, murder is afoot.
The play introduces the inept
and bungling Inspector Pratt,
who battles against the odds and
his own incompetence to solve
the murder of the houses
owner. It soon becomes clear
that the murderer isnt finished
yet; will the miscreant be
unmasked before everyone elsehas met their doom or will the
audience die laughing first?
If you have acting experience or
have often thought I could do
that when watching the TV or a
live performance then why not
audition? There are ten roles
available, 5 female including the
very high society Elizabeth
Hartley-Trumpington, and 5 male
including the funny butler
Bunting.
If you are not a curtain raiser
then you can always be a curtain
puller and join the crew

Auditions will take place at 7.30

Wayland News Page 8
Over the past two Festivals
people have been asked to jointogether in creating a Big
Picture. The first time we chose
L S Lowrie and the second timea painting by North Norfolk
artist Hazel Ashley. Volunteers
were given a section of the
picture to interpret in their own
way and the results were
reassembled to create a whole.
The finished pictures were
exhibited in the Queens Hall
throughout the Festival and
much admired and appreciated
by all.
This year we are setting a rather
different challenge. We want to
capture a snapshot of Waylandtoday as seen by its inhabitants.
We are hoping to end up with a
colourful collection of favouriteimages of our home area. We
will be mounting them all
together as before but they will
be individual pictures - a bit like
one of those ideas boards
beloved of TV interior
decorators.
At this point I can imagine some
people taking fright - its one
thing to copy a given image but
quite another to create from
scratch but dont panic, there are
ways of making it easier!
Why not start carrying a
camera when you are out
and about, many of us havethem on our phones these
days. Once you have some
images, look at them
carefully and see if there is
one - or part of one - that you
would like to use. If you are not
confident enough to draw it upto the size you need, how about
printing it from the computer?
(Computer phobics might ask ayoung friend or family member
to do that bit, they can do
anything!) Once you have that
image you can more easily copy
it to the backing card provided
in the Big Picture pack ready to
treat it in any way you choose.
As before there are very few
rules, we will provide the
backing card but you are free to
use any technique you like -
paint, pastel, mosaic, collage,
cross stitch, batik . . . I wonder if
anyone could knit a picture?There are so many possible
images to choose from, thebustle in the High Street on
market day or one of the stalls
piled high with colourful fruit
and vegetables, your village Fete
or the Remembrance Day
parade, a quiet peaceful co

A Day in
the Life . . .By Jan GodfreyGenerally speaking one does not
pause to reflect on the day to dayactivities that keep body and
brain busy and occup ied but this
week a combination of staff
holidays and unavailability ofother volunteers has left me on
my own in the WaylandPartnership Office for a couple of
days, one of which waspart icularly busy. This , and thecomments of some of the people
who have passed my way thisweek, have led me to reflect on aday in my life at Wayland House.
The day began badly when,
having made a real effort to beearly I found I had left my keysat home and had to go home forthem. It could only get better
from there!The morning was spent doingsome printing left over from the
previous week, designing postersfor a Town Team event, looking
up postage prices to send aHeritage Book to Canada,
phoning people who had arranged
to leave their cars on our car park
overnight because of the BrandonRd works to ask them to park on
a different part of the car park as
the NNAB bus would be there forthree days, emailing the HealthFocus Group and the Youth
Focus Group with the Agendasfor their meeting next week andcompleting an application for theGuardian Charity Awards. During
the morning 27 people came into
reception either to visit one ofour tenants or to see the
Community Bank, or with queriesranging from photocopyingrequests to requests forinformation to purchasing a
Heritage book. One thought wewere the Police Station and
another thought we were theHealth Centre. One partiallysighted gentleman came to see
the NNAB but sadly on thewrong day. Whatever their query,each one needs time and attention
and the majority of visitors andcallers are genuinely appreciative
of this. One kind lady said as sheleft, Whatever would we dowithout you.At lunch time the youth workers
from New Beginnings who aredelivering training for volunteers
in the Training Room came downto book more dates and to chat
about their progress and fundingfor youth activity, and I took a
lengthy call from someone whowanted to book a stall at the
Healthy Choices Fair in
September.In the afternoon there was a callfrom a publication offering free
editorial space to advertise theGallery, provided I could get it toher by 4.00pm. This was toogood an opportunity to ignore so
I set about writing 1,000 words
and true to form or MurphysLaw- the phone rang all
afternoon mostly with quickqueries for absent colleagues.One however was a lengthy callabout vandalism in Wayland
Wood which had to be followedby an email to the Safer
Neighbourhood Team and a callto the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. ADirector Colleague came in to
report that he would need to resthis injured knee for 10 days andwould be unable to cover in the
office.About halfway through the
afternoon with the article justabout planned someone came into request some photocopying.
Normal ly we can cope with
copying at short notice but thatday it was just one task too many
and I asked them to leave it sothat it could be done in the
morning. However the job wasurgent and the only unhappy

red to be too shy to offer
ng to our deliberations. As it
ned the case that was to receive
ention was so clear cut that not
real discussion was necessary,
did have the feeling that we
not be effective in finding thet verdict in a more difficult
rstand that in America, at least
me states, counsels will examine
the credentials of all jurors and each
side are allowed to reject up tothree people from the pool
summonsed. Thus objections will be
made if is obvious that political or
racial bias, or lack of intelligence is
suspected.
This would seem an improvement onour own system, which resembles a
lottery.
As for the costs involved, it soon
became obvious that the legal
profession stood to gain from any
delays that could be brought about,
by the calling of witnesses whoseevidence was not contested by either
prosecution or defence, and by
overlong opening speeches.
The facts of the case were that all bar
one of the men in the dock had been
caught red-handed by the police,
while the other man was accused of
master-minding the crime.
It seemed there was no reason for
their pleas of Not Guilty, but the
facts had to be examined.
The proceedings began, just as we
know from films, with an hour long
speech from the prosecuting counsel,
by the end of which we were sure
there was no point in going anyfurther since it was obvious the
accused were guilty beyond any
doubt. Then it was the turn of the
defence, by the end of which the
innocence of those in the dock
seemed obvious to all.So after a whole morning we were
back to square one, and we adjourned
for lunch. I found a local caf and
was just about to eat, when to my
surprise the accused men came to sit
at the next table. Though there was
nothing wrong in that I did feel
uncomfortable with the situation,
especially as some of them were of
rather frightening appearance thesort of characters always portrayed as
thugs on television or in films.
Back in court after the recess we had
to listen to evidence from three clerks
who had been involved with the
paper work regarding the stolenitems. Neither side objected, so the
result was that the three people had
wasted a pointless whole day from
work, merely adding to the costs of
the matter.
When the time came for us to retire toreach a verdict, the dominant male
among us tried to force things through
with no discussion at all, but he was
over-ruled, and deliberations began,
though hardly necessary in the respect
most of the accused, but essential in
respect of one, whose guilt remained amatter of deep thought. In fact,
although we did eventually decide he
was guilty, we were all very relieved
when his previous criminal record was
read out. The man we had almost
decided was too nice a gentleman for
such a crime, turned out to be a life-
time offender.My conclusions were that, although
we twelve jurors had just about acted
correctly in this instance, had the
case been about financial fraud or
involved technical or scientific
knowledge we would have been
useless.
Thus the calls for specialised juries insuch prosecutions would seem to
merit serious consideration.As far as costs go, witnesses called
where facts are not in dispute are a
waste of money and time, while the
necessity of accused to be broughtlong distances simply to plead not
guilty is a shocking waste, as any
pleas could be made by video from
wherever they may be held.
My overall impression was that the
whole system was subject to play
acting from the legal people
involved, though overall justice was
seen to be done, which was the
ultimate aim, of course
But the person in the dock has to
worry about the type of juror the
lottery will provide for him, and a
big worry this will always be.

With summer finally here your
local Country Market has more totempt you than ever. The
combination of a very long winter
and hardly any spring at all has
inevitably meant that fresh
produce has, until recently, been
in very short supply. Now,however, we have a good
selection of tender annuals to
brighten up you garden instantly
and a range of perennial plants
which, if given a little TLC at
planting time, will reward youwith many years of colour. Fresh
fruit and veg is also making an
appearance whilst our ever
popular farm fresh eggs are
available year round.
Elsewhere we offer a wide
selection of traditional homeade
crafts including greetings cards

Maria Plumb, Helpline Co-
ordinator said: By providing a
single main source of information
and signposting, plus access to any
of the 8 partners in the Carers
Agency Partnership we can ensure
carers get the support they need
through one phone call, email or on
line enquiry. Please ring us or have
a look at the carers website at
www.norfolkcarersinfo.org.uk for
more details of what is availablenow and look out for more
information as the partnership
develops the new service.
Maria went on to say that the
service will be developing new
methods for communication
including online forums and social
media.
Sue Whitaker, Cabinet Member for
Adult Social Services at Norfolk
County Council, said:We know
how important it is to offer
excellent and reliable support to
those people who care for a friend,
relative or loved one in Norfolk
were acutely aware that withoutthem, the strain on professional
health and social care services
would be so much higher.
This is the first time we have had
a countywide service of this kind
that is dedicated to carers. This
partnership brings together a
wealth of experience and, in
addition to providing services, will
help to raise awareness of the help
that exists and to identify carers
who have been isolated in the past.
I have every confidence in the
Carers Agency Partnerships ability
to improve the quality of life of
carers in Norfolk, and as a
consequence, the thousands of
people they care for.
Dr Anoop Dhesi, chair of NHS
North Norfolk ClinicalCommissioning Group, said: "We
welcome this new support service
and are happy to make a financial
contribution. This service
recognises the important role carers
play in looking after a relative or
loved one."
The new service will also provide
support to the Carers Council for
Norfolk, which works with carers
to highlight their needs. Sharon
Brooks, Chairman of Carers
Council for Norfolk said We are
looking forward to working
closely with the Carers Agency
Partnership, to champion carersneeds and provide feedback on
the new service. Carers save the
country 119 billion per annum
and must be supported to
continue caring during this period
of economic austerity and
reductions in the services
available.

The Wayland
Players romp
to successFor three nights in May the Queens
Hall, Watton was transformed into
the Royal Enclosure at York
Racecourse for the Wayland
Players hugely successfulperformance of Ladies Day, a
comedy by Amanda Whittington.
The Wayland Players had asked
their audience to create a real sense
of occasion and come dressed for
Royal Enclosure; and the audience
responded with glamorous outfits,
morning suits and of course, hats.
To encourage participation the
Wayland Players had teamed up
with the Broom Hall Hotel, Saham
Toney and Mark Bunning
Photography, Watton to award the
best dressed Royal Enclosure
guests the prize of a luxurious
afternoon tea for four.
The winning group, led byMaureen Silver, Swaffham, whose
team name was Four fillies with a
Handicap said This was our first
time at a Wayland Players
production so we didnt know what
to expect; we had a wonderfulevening, the cast were excellent,
the play funny with the odd touch
of sadness, we thoroughly enjoyed
ourselves and will certainly belooking forward to the next
production. Maureen added
winning the afternoon tea was the
icing on the cake.

Riding for Joining
Jack and MacmillanWell by the time this paper is printed I will be days
away from starting my bike ride! Over recent months
I have done articles for the Wayland News about my
charity bike ride which is in aid of 2 charities namely
Macmillan and Joining Jack.
So far I have raised 1400 with which I am chuffed.
Unfortunately there has been a set back, at the end of
May my dad and me were on a training ride, the
weather was awful as it had been raining all day and
my dad clipped my back wheel and while I carried on
biking my dad didn't fare as well, he came off!!
The following week he was in the Norfolk & Norfolk
hospital having a metal hook plate inserted in his
shoulder after having dislocated it. This made training
harder because as my mum says "there's no way I can
keep up with you on a bike" I feel mum could be
following me in the car!
So all that's left is to give you my justgiving accountsfor the last time, they are as follows:
http://bit.ly/11Wdpe5 and http://bit.ly/128zDFoand the 2 texting codes: for Joining Jack :- IMOW97
and for Macmillan :- IMAC97
just send a text including the code and an amount to
70070, many thanks Imogen Walker. Look out next
month for an article on how the ride went!
