Christmas
Coffee Morning
with Crafts and Gifts
at St Marys Church,
Watton
Saturday 13th December
9.30am 12 Noon
Rockland
Community Shop
Rockland Community shop is much more than
just a shop. The recent Macmillan coffee
morning event raised a staggering 500 and
more charity events will be following in the near
future. At present the shop are actively
supporting Andrew Roebucks attempt to
conquer the Great Wall of China in aid of
Pancreatic cancer he is hoping to raise 2500
for this great cause. Details can be found on the
shop counter and your support will be very
welcome. On November 14th the Street will be
lit in Purple as part of the Pancreatic cancer
awareness month and it will be well worth a
visit. The EDP will be covering the event and the
shop would like to see as many purple clad
people as possible for a group photograph. More
details in the shop.
The Internet caf is now up and running. A PC
and laptop are available during the hours of
opening in the caf. We hope to have some basic
training courses available in the near future.
We hope you will all continue to support the
shop and tell your friends about us and
particularly it would help us greatly, should you
run a syndicate for the lottery at work, if you
could place your lottery order in with us, as
although, recently we have finally reached our
sales target with Camelot, with your kind
support, we need to ensure we do not drop back
again and be in danger of losing our lottery
terminal.
2015 Then and Now calendars are now on sale in
the shop, they feature Rocklands in the past and
present and are retailing at 5 all proceeds are
going into the shop. Shortly there will be
Christmas cards going on sale featuring
Rocklands. If you would like a card featuring
your Village please let Shirley have a suitable
snowy picture and if you do not mind it being
turned into a card for sale, if it suitable it will be
used for the purpose. All proceeds will go to the
shop and no re-numeration will be able to be
offered for the use of the photograph. Please
bring any photographs for personal cards etc. to
one of Shirleys craft days as listed below, or
leave at the counter. For further details, please
ring 488567.
Leading up to Christmas, we have crafting
events happening in the caf on every Saturday
from 9.30pm to 4pm. This month we have
1st November Shirleys Cards personalised
cards and calendars

We are always in need of Volunteers that
provide a valuable service to the shop, so if you
have 3 hours or more to spare, please ask at the
counter about becoming a volunteer. It is a very
enjoyable experience and training is always on
hand. The Post office is open the same time as
the shop opening hours which are 7.30am-
6.30pm Mon-Fri, 7.30am-5.30pm Sat and
8.30am-1pm Sundays.
No price
increases for
hiring the
Queens Hall
At their recent Committee Meeting the Queens
Hall Trustees decided to take the brave step of
fixing the hiring charges at the present rate
instead of continuing the current policy of a
small percentage rise in line with inflation.
Running costs continue to escalate energy,
water, insurances, licences, mandatory
electrical tests, routine maintenance etc., and
the hall relies on hiring income to cover the
monthly outlay. We receive no regular outside
subsidy and the occasional grant for specific
projects from the Town Council is gratefully
received.
So why, in these difficult times, are we
freezing our hiring charges and, in fact,
actually reducing by around 20% the premium
rates charged for Saturday and Friday
evenings? The answer is painfully simple; no
matter how high the fee, if the hall is empty
there is no income at all! Moreover an empty
hall means that our other source of income, the
Licensed Bar, is also closed.
Our regular users Ballroom Dancing, Bingo,
Carpet Bowls, Wayland Country Music, the
biannual Watton Festival and the three
theatrical companies continue to support the
hall as they have always done, and their
contribution forms the backbone of our
income, but the real difference in recent years
has been the decline in one-off events
organised by outside organisations and
individuals.
Unfortunately this lack of extra events has
caused us to run at a loss for the last 2 years.
At the moment the losses are relatively small,
but they had been preceded by regular profits,
and our reserves are now beginning to decline.
Watton is fortunate to have such an
outstanding venue which was originally built
by local volunteers to celebrate the Coronation
of a new Queen in 1953. We now need the
support of local people to continue to use the
hall and ensure that it continues for the next 60
years. If you would be interested in hiring the
hall for any event large or small contact
the Booking Secretary, Mike Rix (01953
889890) for details and hiring fees.
Watton Evening
Women's
Institute
There have been many remarkable women in
history and at Watton Evening WI meeting
members heard of three remarkable women
who started the Womens Institute, now a
group of organisations with members all over
the world.
In 1897 after the death of her youngest child
Adelaide Hoodless challenged women in
Ontario, Canada to work together and learn
how to prevent some of the commonest
diseases and learn from each other lifes skills.
A fellow Canadian, Madge Watts, came to
Britain as the country was to go to war and
with the help of government agencies the WI
was born in this county in 1915. Its first
Chairman Lady Denman created an
organisation that is as relevant today as nearly
100 years ago. Members also discovered who
they felt were the most remarkable women in
history.
The lunch group visited the Chequers Inn at
Thomspon in September whilst their final
meeting of the year will be at Thetford Garden
Centre offering the opportunity of a little early
Christmas retail therapy.
A group of members together with others had
a art workshop with Paul Byrant and created
an impressive array of floral artwork, thanks
were given to Anita Maslin for her
organisation of the event.
Watton Evening WI will be having a Tombola
and bran tub stall at the Festive Market on
Sunday November 30th and look forward to
seeing you there, we have wonderful prizes so
come and enjoy the start of Christmas in the
heart of the town.
We will be holding our Annual Meeting on
Thursday November 13th when we welcome
Zena Aldridge of Admiral Nurses and WI
Adviser Sue Ovenden to our meeting. We will
look back at the past year and forward to 2015
when we as a WI will be celebrating 25 years
since the re formation of the group and also
the 100th Anniversary of the start of WI in
England and Wales.
New members and visitors are always
welcome, just come along to the Community
Centre by 7.30pm or for further details ring
Hazel Gillingham on 01953 881510.
A Fresh Start for
Watton Troop
ACF
Its a new chapter in the history of Watton Troop,
Army Cadet Force, with the arrival of a new
Detachment commander and adult instructor.
Staff Corporal of Horse Chris Cocksedge has
taken up the appointment of Detachment
commander after a successful posting as
commander of Thetford Detachment.
He says that Watton Troop has the potential to
be a leading detachment within Norfolk ACF
but it has been a few years since we have had
the instructor and cadet numbers to make this
possible. A new detachment posting is always
a challenge for both the cadets and adults, but
this has happened a just the right time
With new cadet accommodation, within the
Watton, in the near future, we will be looking to
recruit far more cadets from both the town and
outlying villages. Our current detachment has
paraded at The Old School, in Church Walk for
many years and it is becoming unsuitable. A
new, purpose built accommodation will be a
great bonus for Norfolk ACF and Watton. The
more cadets that we can safely parade and train,
will increase the kinds of activities that we can
offer.
The second new arrival at the troop is Under
Officer Lucas, a detachment commander from
Cambridgeshire. He says that following a
break from the ACF for a few years, the
changes to the new cadet force are refreshing.
The organisation has had to move forward
with the times and as such we now have the
opportunity to offer so much more than 10
years ago.
The Duke of Edinburgh scheme is still
available and encouraged. Now we can even
offer BTEC qualifications. Other notable
improvements have been the lowering of the
joining age to 12 and the ACFs involvement
with multi-media.
Watton Troop, Norfolk ACF, parade at The
Old School, Church Walk, Watton. On
Tuesday nights, between 19.00 hrs and
21.00hrs

8 till late at the Queens Hall
At the October meeting of the Inner
Wheel Club, President Brenda Davis was
delighted to welcome the Chairman of
District 8, Yvonne Eaton. During their
Year of Office it is customary for
Chairmen to make a kind of Royal
Progress around this large District and
such visits are always a highlight of the
Inner Wheel year. The President also
welcomed two prospective new members
and said that there were other ladies
currently considering joining the
organisation. This news was received
with interest.
A great deal of business followed the
opening remarks. Reflecting on past
events members were pleased to hear that
the recent concert made a profit of
255:38, The Luck of the Irish, in
words and music, being enjoyed by a
goodly number of seasoned Lunchtime
Concert supporters.
At times, the Inner wheel doesnt simply
turn it spins, and in planning for the
run-up to Christmas this is certainly the
case. During November the Club has the
honour of hosting a District meeting
and then at the end of the month look out
for two stalls at the Festive Market: Pick
a Christmas Parcel and Christmas
Produce & Books. This is closely
followed on December 6th by a Coffee
Morning with Tombola and lots of good
things to eat at Queens Hall and then
dont miss this! on Wednesday 10th
December there is another Lunchtime
Concert (with seasonal fare for lunch)
and the ladies themselves providing the
entertainment, ably supported by the
West End Waiters.
So much to look forward to!
Following a coffee break Yvonne Eaton
spoke to the meeting giving some insight
into her life, her interests, her chosen
charity for this year and her experiences
of Inner Wheel. She was thanked by the
President who also presented her with a
donation for Pet Partners.

Project Linus
Norfolk Update
Once again we have been very busy. By
the 16th October the group had given
out 348 quilts in Norfolk and received
287 in 2014. We are very grateful to all
the quilters out there and ask them to
keep making. Currently we have a great
demand for quilts for older teenage
boys as well as the usual needs for
quilts for others from premature babies
through to 18. As a reminder machine
washable cotton fabric must be used,
layered with good wadding or high
quality fleecy backing. We cannot use
any made in a smoky atmosphere or
washed using strong smelling
detergents nor those made with curtain,
furnishing or synthetic materials or
decorated with beads, buttons etc. All
are carefully checked and have an
official Linus label sewn in before
distribution.
On behalf of Project Linus Norfolk I
would like to say a big thank you for
the generosity of the teams and
organisers in raising 229-37 pence at
the Shipdham Charity Quiz on 29th
August, which was donated to us. Our
coach trip for Linus to The Fabric
Guild in Leicester on 18th September
was made even more enjoyable by
knowing our funds had been increased
by such a large amount. The day was a
great success and we hope that those
participating for the first time enjoyed
it as much as those for whom this is a
regular event.
On 13th October we had a workshop
finishing and beginning more quilts for
distribution. Only seven people
attended this but a great deal was
achieved plus much chat, laughter and
general enjoyment. Needless to say this
work continues in the homes of those
who participated. Another workshop is
planned for 10th November.
For further details ring Jane on 01953

Operation
Christmas Child
Once again many of us are filling our
shoe boxes with gifts for needy children
this Christmas. The deadline for
delivering your boxes for Watton is
Wednesday 12th November between 9am
and 11.30am at the coffee morning at the
WCCC in the High Street, Watton.
Completed boxes can be delivered before
then.
Details for size of boxes and their
suggested contents are available at the
Methodist coffee mornings at the WCCC
at the same times between now and then.
The people of Watton have been
amazingly generous in previous years and
we will let you know how well Watton
has done this year!
Thank you
from the
Vicar & Cast
The Boo & Hiss Theatre Company,
Watton would like to say a massive
thank you to the people of Watton
and surrounding villages once again for
their fantastic support, following
another successful show last month. All
three performances of The Vicar of
Dibley The 2nd Coming sold out and
we even managed to squeeze in those
people who turned up on the night
hoping to see the show.
We are always blown away by the
enthusiasm of our audiences and this
year in particular because after our
production of The Vicar of Dibley last
year we knew we were taking a risk on
how a second one would be received.
But luckily it went down a storm, if
youll pardon the pun, and even the
Christmas-themed 2nd half had the
audience in stitches. I think its fair to
say thats the earliest Nativity that
Watton has ever seen.
Its always sad when the show is over
and we have to take down the scenery
and put away the costumes, but this
year was especially sad as it felt like
wed lived it for so long. When we
took to the stage for our first dress
rehearsal it was like wed never left and
over the two shows the characters
became very dear to us.
But onwards and upwards, as they say,
and weve got our 10th Anniversary
show next year to look forward to. It
will be another trip down memory lane
so watch this space for more details in
the coming months. We are always
happy to gain new members to the
group so if anyone would like to be
involved in next years show, be it
onstage or behind the scenes, please get
in touch with any one of us in person,
via our Facebook page or via Julian
Horn at the Wayland News
Could we also take this opportunity to
ask if anyone who saw the show
happened to take photographs, we
would be extremely grateful if they
could please let us know or simply post
them to our Facebook page. Thanks
again for your support and well see
you all next year.

The Book Club
An every day story of literary folk
By Ken Knowles
Just like most U3A branches (thats the
University of the Third Age) the
Swaffington one runs many various
classes, which consist of small groups of
people who gather to share and expand their
interests in a great range of subjects, these
meetings being held in the private homes of
the members.
One such group is the Book Club, in which
the participants meet once a month to
discuss the merits of the various books they
have read. There are eleven members and
they convene in the abode of a different
person each month.
This time it was Bettys turn be the hostess
(surprisingly there are no men in the group
they probably have too much work to do that
precludes them from reading !).
Margaret gave a lift to Peggy and Ann in her
Citroen C3, and as she pulled into the drive,
Peggy said We seem to be the first here.
Dont lets get out yet, I hate to be first
anywhere.
No, Betty will think it odd if we just sit
here. Wed best go in straight away said
Margaret, partly because what she said was
true, but mainly because she knew that with
Peggys leg it would take about five minutes
to get her out of the car. So they set to and
with a great deal of effort manoeuvring her
stiff limb, managed to get Peggy out .
Then Ann said This isnt Bettys, place,
she lives in a house. This is a bungalow.
Oh, dear, said Margaret. Back in the car
Peggy.
When they had re-organised themselves s
and found the correct venue four doors
away, they rang the front door bell, and were
met by Betty, who said We were getting a
bit worried that perhaps you werent
coming. Anyway, would you like tea or
coffee ?
Without waiting for an answer Betty rushed
off to the kitchen, and the three newcomers
found seats for themselves, and greeted the
other members who had been awaiting their
arrival.
Hows the leg going, Peggy? asked Joan,
who was sitting next to her.
Oh, well, I dont really know. I went to the
hospital, and what a palaver that was. The
clinic I wanted was right at the back, about a
mile from the entrance, then they said Id got
to have an X-Ray, and so I had to traipse all
the way back to the X-Ray department,
which I couldnt find. I asked the way and
was sent up a long corridor, where I was
assured the X-Ray place was, but still I
couldnt find it. Then I met a nurse who took
me there. No wonder I couldnt find it, it
was called Radiography not X-Ray at all !
They do muck about. Why call it something
different ? Its like when I went to have my
foot seen to. Theyd changed the name from
Chiropody to Podiatry or some such
nonsense. Any road, Im still waiting for the
results of my tests.
After a pause Margaret observed There
dont seem too many here today .
No, well Caroline is in hospital in
Southampton, or Portsmouth or somewhere
on the south coast. Some bug she picked up
on her cruise. Apparently half the ship was
affected. And Georgina is having a Driving
Test.
Good Lord, at her age ?.
Yes, well Freds been disqualified, after his
latest speeding conviction. I reckon shell
have a bit of a job with that car of his, its
almost as big as a bus. Perhaps shell try for
PSV license !
At that moment Betty came back with three
coffees for Ann, Peggy and Margaret, after
which she said that it was time they got on,
and perhaps Joan would like to start.
So Joan put on her glasses and inspected a
few notes she had made and began.
The book I read was called Death is Final,
by Tamsin Robertson, of whom you may
have heard.
Heads were shaken, as no-one could recall
the name. Well, the cover said it was the
Number 1 best seller, Joan went on.
That means nothing,, said Peggy. When I
was in the Library last week, a whole shelf
of books in the Crime section all had
Number 1 Best Seller, and most also had
Totally Gripping Daily Mail or
Brilliant.The Times.
Betty said, Perhaps she is one of those who
write under another name, like that
J.K.Rowling, or Ruth Rendell. She
sometimes calls herself Jeremy Vine, I think
it is.
Barbara, said Gladys, which surprised
everyone because she rarely spoke.
But still no-one seemed to recognise the
name so Joan started once again. It all takes
place in the new house this couple have
moved in to at Aston Clinton, which is small
place in Buckinghamshire..
Oh, I know Aston Clinton, interrupted
Ann. My sister and I were evacuated to
Tring in the war, and we used to ride to
Aston, her on her proper bike and me on my
Fairy Cycle.
You wouldnt want to cycle there today,
said Margaret, its on the A 41, and the
traffic roars along it on the way to Hemel
Hempstead.
Is that where theyve got that funny
roundabout system where you choose which
way round you want to go?, asked Peggy.
Before anyone could answer her Margaret
said ,Talking of roundabouts reminds me to
say dont go home by the A47, the road is up
by the McDonalds roundabout.
Do you know ?, said Ann, Ive never
been in a McDonalds ?.
No, nor have I said Margaret, nor in one
of those Costa Coffee places, like the one
thats opened in Swaffham
That seems to do well, said Peggy,
theres always someone coming out of
there with cartons of something, which I
presume must be coffee, what with the name
and all. And the local rag says theres
another new one in Thetford .
Oh, never mind all that, said Betty a bit
testily, the times getting on .
So Joan resumed her report on the novel.
Well, one night the girl came home from
work, and was surprised to find the front
door wide open. As she went through the
hall and into the lounge she was horrified to
find her husband lying in a pool of
blood.
Before she could go on, Peggy broke in with
Cor, I can just imagine what went through
her mind. What a terrible shock it must have
been, for its an awful job trying to get blood
out of a carpet. Almost impossible, Id say.
Its bad enough to spill red wine, but blood,
no way. Probably means a complete new
carpet.
Put salt on it, said Margaret. They say
that sometimes works.
No, a touch of lemon said Ann or am I
thinking about something different ?
They all went through their memories of
how to clean up stains from carpets, but no-
one could re-call exactly what to use on
what, so Margaret brought them back to the
subject of the book by saying What
happened next ?, but Betty intervened with
Im awfully sorry folks, but I must bring
things to an end there as time has run out,
and Ive got the Scrabble class coming in an
hour, and Ive got to give Bill something to
eat before then. But its been great to see you
all. I think it does us all good to discuss these
literary works, dont you ? Theres surely
nothing more uplifting than a nice
intellectual discussion, I always say. Now
whose turn is it next month ?.
Shellrock Circle Club
For the over 50s of Rocklands
and the surrounding districts.
Thursday the 18th of September was
unseasonably warm as several of our
members set out on the yearly mystery
coach trip. The coach first made its way to
the pretty little village of Bawdeswell and
stopped at the Garden Centre there. This
was not the destination for the day but a
comfort stop. The coach next made its
way to Walsingham and this proved to be
the mystery destination. Everyone tried to
fit in as much sightseeing here as possible
but as with all such trips, some things got
overlooked or missed entirely.
The next stop was at Burnham Thorpe, the
birthplace of Lord Nelson. Although a
local hero, no attempt was made to
capitalize on this. The locals were very
proud of Lord Nelson but there were no
souvenirs, cafes, or guided tours round the
village. There was however, a farm shop
where cheeses, bacon etc., could be
purchased. On the way home via Wells,
the sea could be glimpsed but after such a
busy day, no one was wanting to stop for a
paddle and so the coach headed back
home.
It was decided to celebrate the birthday of
the club with a party this year on the 8th
of October. Which was the nearest date to
its formation. The doors were opened
earlier to get everyone seated by 13:00
hrs. The caterers laid out a great variety of
tasty sandwiches and other buffet style
food with plenty of tea and coffee with
cake for afterwards. The usual raffle was
held and the remaining time was spent
playing the game of "Hoi!" This seems to
be the game most favoured by club
members. Terry spiced up the proceedings
by introducing some presents of his own
to be played for.
Gerry of Shropham won the task for the
letter "R" with an eclectic collection of
items.
On the 12th of November the speaker will
be a representative from Age UK
(formally known as Age Concern.) So get
your queries ready for question time
which usually follows the talk. Now is the
time to find out about anything concerning
our age group that you have always
wanted to know. Meeting begins as usual
at 14:00 hrs till 16:00 hrs. Tea/coffee and
biscuits and the raffle as usual. The task
will be for the letter "S."
On the 20th of November you will get
another chance to visit Bawdeswell
Garden Centre as this has been chosen for
our FREE coach trip. Contact Margaret
English on 01953 457890 for further
details. Non-members of the club will
have to pay 7 if you would like to take
advantage of this outing. First pick-up Gt.
Ellingham at 10am.
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS
WELCOME

Basic First Aid for
Stress Levels
By Freda Farrow, Stress and Wellbeing Consultant
Years ago the word stress meant something very different from to-day
- it was mainly associated with heavy machinery where metal was
showing signs of stress through wear, aeroplane fuselages would be
tested for signs of stress, the steel of railway lines could be stressed,
but people, they did not get stressed. if they had to have a diagnosis or
excuse for any kind of odd behaviour, they were said to be suffering
from their nerves this ailment which came in many guises could, at
times, take one through the doors of a psychiatric hospital.
Now the stress word is part of our vocabulary, we all get stressed from
time to time, in fact if one does not get stressed at all then they are not
in the main stream or part of the human race. So what is stress - the
dictionary tells us it is pressure placed on the mind and the body
together causing the inability to control emotions and/or actions. Our
lifestyles have changed over the decades, we live in an age of must
haves computers, very high expectations, race to keep up with the
Joness etc. and like a boiler the pressure rises and sometimes we
explode with often serious consequences. To live permanently in this
state is injurious to our health both mental and physical.
So what can we do? First lets look at some simple first aid, the do-it-
yourself Paramedic.
Firstly relaxation is simple, cheap and enjoyable simply lie down on
the floor on a comfortable carpet or old duvet, with a headrest. Play
some relaxing and soothing music softly, preferably one of the many
relaxation tapes available in the shops. Relax your body by taking a
very deep breath and letting it out slowly through the mouth, repeating
this four times - then relax head, neck, arms, hands, legs and feet by
tensing and relaxing them, at the same time let your mind drift away to
a time you remember, such as a beautiful beach, a lovely garden. Then
close your eyes and re-live that wonderful time. Allow about 10
minutes minimum for this exercise. Not easy for the very stressed, but
by the third or fourth time it will start to work and you will feel the
relaxation creeping over you, warm, comforting and oh so relaxing.
Being on your own at this time is quite important, unless you are
sharing the exercise with friends, group relaxation can be very
therapeutic.
For a beginners meditation, sit in your favourite cosy chair or relax on the
settee, turn off the television - try and be by yourself here - do the
relaxation first - have a little rest, then close your eyes - try and imagine
you are in a beautiful garden filled with all the wonderful things you would
like in a garden, water, trees, flowers, shrubs etc . walk round the garden
smell the perfumes, see the birds and flowers, sit and gaze at the fish, enjoy
the warm sun or summer rain relax and enjoy it have animals in there if
you wish, this is your secret garden where you can go every time you feel
stressed, it is your private garden. your sanctuary, stay as long as you wish
or have time for. This works better if you can do the relaxation first, not
always possible but do your best.
If you are a busy person try a quick relaxation as above sitting on a train,
in a bus, walking in the park. BUT NOT IN THE CAR. Preferably wait
until you are alone and allow yourself half an hour or more. Do both as
often as possible preferably relax, then try and meditate, the difference in
your stress levels will soon be noticeable and yes you are worth the time
spent on yourself and no you are never too busy to allow time for YOU.
When you are enjoying the feeling of less stress and have got the hang
of simple meditation it will be time to start thinking about stress
management techniques, the next step, which will enhance your ability
to cope with all aspects of the modern busy and often hectic life style.

corporate phone 01362 820994 or e-mail

At the September meeting local historian Brian
Mitchell presented an overview of World War 1.
This covered the world wide involvement of over
one hundred countries fighting on western and
eastern continents aligning themselves for or
against the predominant German aggression. Brian
cleverly segregated the political lead up to the war,
the various lines of battle, and the aftermath of war.
To define such complex events that could readily
be understood in one hour, was a remarkable
achievement assisted by superb graphics. The talk
coincides with a visit by members in October to
The Imperial War Museum in London with its
special focus on WW1.
Thirty members recently enjoyed a glorious sunny
day at Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, near
Oxford, visiting the house and gardens. Blenheim
Palace was the birthplace of Winston Churchill,
and an exhibition of his life was of special interest.
There will be no pub lunch for Alans group until
further notice. Brians group will be meeting at The
Windmill at Necton on Tuesday 25th November.
Susan Pages garden group will be visiting
Bawdswell Garden Centre at Bawdswell for
Christmas lunch at the end of November/
December. Date is to be advised.

royally entertained at the home of Fran and Martin
Parker in Merton. Group Leader Bill Barnes
thanked Fran and Martin for their excellent tuition
throughout the summer.
Our speaker for the November meeting will be
Amanda Harrold, presenting Maddermarket
Costumes.
We will be collecting money for the Christmas
lunch at Richmond Park Golf Club.

On 15th October the group discussed Rebecca by
Daphne du Maurier. Published in 1938 and never
out of print since this was hailed as a romantic
novel with Gothic overtones, the latter enforced by
the dark 1940 Hitchcock film with a changed
ending. It quickly became a best seller. The version
we read has an Afterword written in 2002 by Sally
Beauman herself the author of Rebeccas Tale a
more recent sequel to the original.
Most members had read the book in their youth,
usually found in the bookcase of their respective
mothers and taken at face value. On reading it
with maturity and forensic and psychological
knowledge of the 21st Century, views were
changed. It was agreed that the Afterword would
have been more useful as a Foreword and an
even further reading might be needed. Most
found the first half tedious and wanted to shake
the mousy, timid narrator with no name, only
that of the second Mrs De Winter, although they
realised she was a necessary and clever narrative
device. There was an interesting discussion with
all agreed that the novel is of its class and time;
the sexual undertones may have escaped early
readers but there is the suggestion that the two
wives of Max de Winter reflect the two sides of
Du Mauriers own bisexual character; names
such as Manderley for the house have masculine
suggestions, whilst Maxim is the name of a
machine gun and de Winter implies sterile
coldness; there is an established link between
sexual deviation and arson; the long awaited
ending has a clever twist and the unnamed
narrator would appear to have been rewarded by
a long, boring exile in various hotels abroad with
the husband she still loves , probably from her
mid twenties onwards.
It is definitely not the light romantic novel as
presented in the past If you think you know it
may we suggest you read it again, Afterword
first. However, putting all thought of modern
psychology and forensic knowledge aside it is
still worth reading for itself and enjoying at face
value as we all did in more innocent and ignorant
days.
On the 19th November we will be discussing
The Snack Thief by Andrea Camilleri.

Diabetes UK
Despite the need for a rowing boat and
waterproof clothing, our October
meeting was well attended! We had Dr
Jeremy Turner, Consultant Physician
from the Elsie Bertram Diabetes
Centre, as our speaker and Laurence
Barker, Voluntary Development
Officer from Diabetes UK, Eastern
Region, was also there.
Dr Turner decided to turn our meeting
into a question and answer session
about Diabetes. Amongst several items
covered he talked about Type 1 &
Type 2 Diabetes, Neuropathy,
Carbohydrates, Blood Sugar Readings
and HB1C test. It was an extremely
interesting meeting and I think he was
able to reassure some of our members
about certain aspects of Diabetes they
may have been concerned about. He
then turned the tables on himself by
asking us if we had any questions for
him. That was a bit unexpected, but it
was all light hearted and it was the
perfect end to a great meeting.
Our meeting in November is our A. G.
M. It will be on the 10th, at 10.13 am,
in the Pentecostal Church, Watton
(whom we thank for the generous use
of their facilities ). For details of any of
our meetings please phone Helen,
01953 884713, leave a message and I
will get back to you as soon as I can.
Shine
Night
Walk
On Saturday 27th September 2014
myself (Caroline Scott), my
parents John and Rosemary Scott
and my sister Jo Pike completed a
half marathon Shine Night Walk in
London to raise money for Cancer
Research UK.
The charity is close to my heart
after being diagnosed with breast
cancer in August 2013. After 8
months of treatment which
included chemotherapy, an
operation and a course of
radiotherapy. We celebrated my 12
month 'cancer journey' with 17,000
other walkers completing both half
marathons and marathons around
some of London's most historic
sights.
As a family we are enormously
grateful for all the donations made
to us from family, friends and our
neighbours which definitely
spurred us on. We are pleased to
announce we raised a fantastic
935.00
Thank you everyone for your kind
donations and best wishes over the
last year. The Scott Family.
Inheritance
Laws
Simplified
New laws simplifying what happens when
someone dies without leaving a Will came
into force on 1st October this year. Adrian
Goldring, a partner in local law firm Spire
Solicitors LLP said, The changes to the
law are designed to speed up and
modernise the process of dividing the
money, property and other assets of a
person who dies without a Will
(intestate).
The reforms bring the law into line with
the expectations of modern society and
will make the process easier to manage for
relatives and friends.
The changes, made in the new Inheritance
and Trustees Powers Act, include:
When someone who has no children dies
intestate, their whole estate will pass to
their spouse. Before todays changes a
complex set of rules has been used which
also, in some circumstances, allocated
parts of the estate to other family members.
When someone dies intestate and they do
have children, the way their estate is split
between their spouse and children will be
simplified. This has also previously been
subject to a complex set of rules.
Closing a loophole to make sure children
who are adopted dont lose their
inheritance after their parents death.
If you would like assistance in relation to
your Will, or the death of someone who
died intestate, call Adrian Goldring at
Spire Solicitors LLP, 40 High Street,
Watton, on 01953 882864 for further
information.
