Frettenham New Farm Aviation Group From humble beginnings in a single portacabin in Frettenham New Farm Aviation Group is growing rapidly now boosting 5 portacabins and a barn !! And thinking of further expansion. Started approx 10 years ago by Mr Trevor Hewitt to exhibit his excavated parts of the crashed Liberator 'Belle of Boston' this was the first of many Liberator excavations all of which are on display. Also on display are remains from a Trident at Felthorpe ,a Heinkle from Salthouse and parts from a Canberra at Holt. These are but a few of the many and varied displays on view. After a slow start to 2016 ie) a quiet craft fair much work was carried out in preparation for our first open day. An excellent day was had by all. We also had the Norfolk Military Vehicle club present and raised a nice amount for roof repairs. Our road show visited Flixton’s aviation enthusiasts day and Old Buckenham air show along with Marsham’s Tractor day and Hethell museum s open day. Many new friends made and information gained. The next open day was another outstanding success. Two more craft fairs and a coffee morning including some craft stalls and grand draw finished the year on a good note. 2017 will see the museum opening the second Sunday in the month from March to the public New members always welcome. We are on the Spixworth to Buxton road behind the flag poles and shed manufacturer. david.calver55@gmail.com THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION Patron: Her Majesty The Queen POPPY APPEAL ORGANISOR EGB06 COLTISHALL & DISTRICT BRANCH On behalf of the Royal British Legion and Branch Members, I would like to pass on my very grateful thanks to everyone in the area for their support for this year's Poppy Appeal.

New Victory Hall Neatishead Welcome to the New Year - I hope all your aspirations and New Years resolutions come to fruition during the coming year. I am aware that some magazines did not have a January issue, so to those people for whom this publication is the first of 2017, may I wish you all a belated Happy New Year. Our journeys around the villages in December, with Santa and his Sleigh, were very successful, made even better by the settled weather and it was a delight to see the expressions on the children’s faces. We are please to report that the total collected this year was £4,071.63, which is a new record. A sincere thank you to everyone who made a donation, no matter how small. Every penny collected goes into our charity account for the benefit of local deserving causes. The shop in the precinct had a very good December and thank you to you all who made donations of Bric-Brac, Christmas goods and clothing. The £100 shop charity draw for December went to Alzheimer’s Society, as nominated by Carole Osborne from Lammas who donated goods to our shop and that for January went to Friends of Horning School, nominated by Jodie Dixon of Hoveton. On the social side, at the first meeting of December we had our usual pre Christmas social evening with our partners and ex lions. During the evening we presented cheques of £1500-00 each, to both The RAF Benevolent Fund (proceeds from our charity concert) and SERV Norfolk Blood Bikers who transport emergency blood and baby milk supplies between Hospitals in the Anglia Region (half the proceeds from the summer Tombola stall in the precinct) On Sunday January 22nd we held our annual Charter Lunch at the Old Rectory Hotel, Crostwick. where Lions members from other clubs joined us to celebrate our 41 years of Lionism. We had a very enjoyable lunch and a presentation of a cheque for £1500- 00 was made to SSAFA, being the other half of the proceeds from our tombola stall. We are always looking for new members, so if you have a few hours to spare why not join us to help people in our community who are less fortunate than ourselves. It really is very rewarding. Just ring me 01603 784093 or alternatively 01603 782002, which is the number for our membership chairperson Lion Suzanne Barnett.
