Harvest

From the Rectory

It is always a special time of year when, around about the beginning of July, you see the first combines working in the fields. The sound of the combine and a great cloud of dust that it produces will give the impression to even the most confirmed city dweller that an important event is underway. And it certainly is an important event, being as it is the focus of the whole farming year. The size of the modern combines and the new technology they employ is quite staggering. Long gone are the days when the driver was so covered in dust that when he got off the combine at the end of the day the only white skin is the area around his eyes when he removed his goggles! Nowadays there are air-conditioned cabs and features which enable the combine to drive itself. As I write this at the end of July it would appear to be a good harvest with lots of warm sunny days.

We will be celebrating all this in our churches in the harvest Festival services. It is right and proper that we should give thanks to God for this beautiful Earth in which we live and for the food that sustains us. It is also good to remember the many places where the harvest is not as plentiful as it is here; places where a bad harvest will mean potential starvation during the year that follows. To this end we have often had collections or charities that work in other parts of the world and seek to improve the conditions for those who live there.

One of the traditions at harvest Festival is for the church to be decorated with flowers, fruit and vegetables to show the various and wonderful nature of our harvest. It is sometimes a problem to know what to do with this produce after the service. Residential homes often have their regular suppliers and do not find it all that easy to accept one-off donations. So at a churchwardens meeting last week we thought it would be a good idea to try and support the work of Kings Lynn food bank. We have already been doing this for some months but harvest Festival would seem to be an ideal time to make a special effort to give something. The church may not look quite so beautiful decorated with a jar of instant coffee, a tin of tuna or a bag of pasta, but these items will be very useful to help those within our communities who are facing such difficulties at the moment. And although it is in the tin or a jar it is still part of God’s harvest and his generosity, which we celebrate at this festival. Further inside the magazine are details of the items that can be donated to the food bank. Please do try and support this work.

With all good wishes, Jonathan

Pet Service At the family service at West Newton Church on the 19th October we are going to have a Pet Service. St Francis, whose Saint’s day is in October, was great lover of animals and believed that they were a vital part of God’s creation, so this seems to be a good time of the year to hold such a service. So please bring along your pets both large and small so that we can give thanks to God for them and bless them.

Cycle Together Sandringham Inspired by the world famous Tour de France, more than 500 cycling enthusiasts put their pedal power to the test for Cycle Together Sandringham on Sunday 13 July. To-gether we are on track to raise an impressive £20,000 for Leonard Cheshire Disability’s Park House Hotel. Our event started in the beautiful grounds of Park House, our award-winning hotel for disabled people and their carers. Riders were cheered on from start to finish by local supporters, staff and volunteers, giving them the boost they needed to get round the course.

One of the great things about this event is that it brings together sea-soned cyclists, commuters and off-roaders with those who prefer a gentle meander. The cycle routes, which ranged from 10 to 100 miles, gave everyone the opportunity to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the charming villages in Norfolk. Actor Graham Cole, who played PC Tony Stamp in The Bill, turned up just at the right time to wave and cheer riders on who got caught in a short rain shower. The Leonard Cheshire supporters also took to Twitter to congratulate participants: ‘Well done those riders for Park House Hotel @LeonardCheshire,

over 500 from 70's to one 4-year-old, humbling to support a great event.’ — GRAHAM COLE Tired cyclists were rewarded at the finish line with a hero’s welcome, glorious sunshine and legendary homemade flapjacks made by our chef at Park House. Below is just some of the lovely feedback we've already had from people who took part. ‘Great event and very well organised. It was a great route and food stations were very good. Obviously a lot of hard work went into getting this great sportive up and running. You should all be very proud — and of course not forgetting that it is all for a very good local charity.’ — PADDY THOMPSON

CASTLE RISING Castle Rising Church Music Evening The Wolferton Singers invite you to an evening of music followed by refreshments at Castle Rising Church on Saturday, 27th September at 7.30 pm. Admission is free with a retiring collection for the church and the "Singers' " music fund.

Fete and Fun Day On 28th June Castle Rising held a historical Fete and Fun Day. It was the 400th anniver-sary of the Almshouses so only fitting that we celebrate Castle Rising’s unique herit-age and we did so in style. A Committee of 22 spent 5 months getting plans together. The History group set the tone whilst every-body else collected trash & treasure, organ-ised the raffle, and set up the advertising. Thanks to Michelle, KLFM were fantastic and ramped up enthusiasm with a slot on

“Whats On” spreading the news through Norfolk.

After a month of sun the weekend looked dubious however thanks to Peter Hook’s foresight in investing in tents for the group we were able to set up on Friday through sporadic rain storms of tropical dimensions. To our surprise the day itself dawned fine and the crowds defied the weath-er forecasters arriving for 12 o’clock. From the car park they filed through the Almshouses where a magnificent dis-play of Castle Rising’s history had been set up, with experts on hand to answer any questions, artefacts including a 16th century map (the oldest map of Kings Lynn’s coast line) and an interactive local genealogy. To add to the fun the Ladies dressed in livery and were much photographed. Ann Whiting and her team made sure everybody was refreshed throughout the afternoon with cups of tea and cake and Carole & Nicky plied them with last minute raffle tickets.

On to the road where there was a fire engine for children and hot dogs for anybody who hadn’t had lunch. Then on to the Howard’s garden for Trash & Treasure and books.

In the Park were highly popular game stalls, face painting and pony rides. Champi-on pony rider, Lara Dunbar came back no less than 4 times. From 2pm Cruella de Ville judged novelty classes of a dog show which even the puppies survived.

The day was enjoyed by everybody and we raised substantial funds for the Church, the Clock, the World War I Memorial Lamppost and, Book Exchange to be put in the telephone kiosk.

Church Teas at Sandringham Flower Show Sandringham Church raises funds each year by providing refreshments to visitors to the church on Flower Show Day. This extremely popular event needs many volunteers to cater for the queues of thirsty people who arrive as soon as the Lych Gates are opened. This year the queues continued until we ran out of tea bags late in the afternoon!

Home-made cakes were produced, supplies of milk donated and lots of willing hands worked in the back-ground.

This is to say nothing of the hundreds of cups of tea and coffee that were cheerfully poured for our visitors.

This year our helpers raised £2,190 for church funds. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to achieve this record amount. Jayne Windsor

Trading Standards Warning - New Telephone Scams Norfolk's Trading Standards officers are warning residents and carers to be on their guard against a telephone cold calling scam that encourages elderly people to reveal information which could give the scammers access to their homes.

The alarm was raised after a Norwich resident was contacted by someone claiming to be from BT telephoning residents to let them know about a suspected problem with the phone network in their area.

The caller explained that they may need to have access to their property, and would therefore need the code to their "key safe" - an external safe containing a key that can be accessed by authorised visitors - like carers or family members - using a security code.

Fortunately, after providing the information, the resident called a relative, who immediate-ly contacted Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline.

Stephen Maunder of Norfolk's Trading Standards said:

"This kind of activity is cynically designed to take advantage of our most vulnerable resi-dents. Our advice is to never give any details like this to anyone who calls you unexpect-edly - whether by telephone or by coming to your door. "We are also asking relatives and carers to be alert to this recent scam and if you have any concerns to report it to Citizens Advice consumer helpline.

"Our advice is also to never let anyone inside your home if they call unexpectedly until you are satisfied they are who they say they are. But if you feel you are in immediate danger or the caller is threatening or aggressive call 999."

A spokesman from BT added: "If you are uncertain about a caller claiming to be from BT, ask them to provide their employee ID number and an 0800 number that you can get back to them on. You can then call BT on 0800 800 150 to confirm the call is genuine.

"We recognise that elderly people are targets for scams. Our message is to be aware of scams and to tell your friends and family about it. We raise awareness of scams to pro-tect customers though articles on our website, bt.com, by supporting police and by using social media."

The Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline is open Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. The contact number is 08454 04 05 06 (or 0208 1850 710) For further information please contact: Media Team at Norfolk County Council Tel: 01603 228888 / Email: [email protected]

Surnames Below are the 10 most common surnames in Wolferton taken from the 1881 census. You can see by the figures below how names have become less or more popular throughout the UK.

The Frequency column shows the percentage of people in Wolferton. For example, a frequency of 10.2703 in Wolferton means that 10.2073% of the people in Wolferton on census day were

called Gent.

The Index column shows the relative probability of finding someone called Gent in Wolferton, compared with the probability of finding them anywhere in Britain as a whole. An index of 1 means that if you pick someone at random from Wolferton, you have exactly the same probability of pick-

ing someone called Gent as if you picked at random from the whole of the UK. If the index is high-er than 1, then you are more likely to find someone called Gent here than if you picked from the UK as a whole, and if it’s lower then you are less likely. The actual figure shows the level of proba-bility - for example, a figure of 2 would indicate that you are twice as likely to find someone

called Gent here than in the UK as a whole, and 10 would make it ten times as likely. The index value of 1,194.97 in Wolferton means that you are 1,197.97 times as likely to find someone with

the surname of Gent in Wolferton than you would be in the whole of the UK at the time of the 1881 census.

Sandringham Choir

The Trinity term seemed to accelerate in speed and was hectic and action-packed. Following on from Easter with no choir holiday the commitment from choristers and adults to the weekly practices and services has been most creditable.

The choir broke up for a well deserved holiday after the service on August 4th and will resume singing duties again on Sunday 7th September.

The concert on May 31st raising money towards Cancer Research was a very enjoy-able occasion for the choir and so I am told the audience! The programme included anthems by the choir, solo secular songs from some of the choristers and an instru-mental group. It was very pleasing to have a large supportive audience and good to meet informally over a glass of wine or apple juice afterwards. Thank you to all of those who supported us.

On a more relaxing theme the choir enjoyed a summer afternoon of cricket and rounders after a picnic together. We were very grateful to Mr. O'Lone for allowing us to use the Sandringham cricket ground and pavilion which the boy choristers were particularly impressed with.

The girl choristers, ladies of the choir and chorister mothers enjoyed a very spirited game of rounders with many shrieks of joy as they raced around the pitch.

The boy choristers, gentlemen of the choir, chorister fathers and the Rector in com-parison had a very civilised game of cricket. The result was Team Tallis gained a score of 72 and Team Byrd achieved 66. The Man of the Match was Sungyoon Cho.

cont. from page 21 At the end of term the choir sang at the Commemoration Service of the outbreak of World War I at Sandringham church. This was a very moving occasion and one of

the anthems “In Paradisum” from the Faure Requiem was sung with thoughts of our own Sandringham men who died at Gallipoli. The choristers had been told about those men from the Estate who went to Gallipoli never to return. It made it more personal to them as they sang this beauti-ful piece of music. The choristers continue to make good progress with their instrumental and singing studies and the following choris-ters achieved success during the Trinity term in the Royal Schools of Music Associated Board grade examinations.

LIVING INDEPENDENTLY in LATER YEARS (LILY) is an online directory for West Norfolk that brings together information about a wide range of activities, services, advice and guidance, primarily for the over 65s, providing an easy-to-access, easy-to-use reference and signposting guide. LILY is arranged into ten simple-to-search categories and there are useful filters and quick links that make finding information quick and easy. Whether you’re looking for a club or activity close by, perhaps you want travel or mobility advice, or maybe you need tips for managing your money … then LILY can help. If you’re concerned about staying safe, worried about having a fall, or if you’re at home caring for someone … LILY can help you to find the advice and help you may need to help make your life a little easier. If you don’t have a computer you can still access all the information in the LILY directory by calling 01553 616200 and speaking to a member of the Council’s Customer Services team. An advisor will search the directory on your behalf and give you all the relevant information. If required, this information can then be sent to you, or to a relative, friend or carer, by post or email. Organisers of regular activities, such as clubs or support groups, or community services for older people living in the region, can have details included in the LILY directory.

A £650,000 scheme that will boost King's Lynn's historic Saturday Market Place is underway since Monday August 18 and set for completion at the end of October. . Wider footpaths, as well as room for seat-ed areas and events at St Margaret's Place, will make the area more pedestrian friendly. High quality materials will be used to enhance the setting and provide improved accessibility as a result of the works. The project is being funded by the Herit-age Lottery Fund, the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and Norfolk County Council. Changes will also include making the Mar-ket Place one-way in a southbound direc-tion for vehicles, although a consultation will begin shortly regarding contra-flow cycling in Saturday Market Place and on surrounding side roads, including South Quay. Additional cycle parking areas are being installed as part of the project. In order for the work to take place, Sat-urday Market Place (including the car park) will be closed to traffic until the end of October.

During this closure Anglian Water will be carrying out repairs on the main sewer through the market place at the same time, to reduce overall disruption. Access will be provided for deliveries from Church Street. Large vehicles will be di-verted via Tuesday Market Place but cars will be able to travel south along Queen Street, turn right into College Lane then head south along South Quay through a set of temporary traffic lights, to reach Boal Street and Millfleet. Traffic lights will also need to be used at the Baker Lane car park entrance to allow vehicles to head north along Queen Street into King Street. King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Councillor, Lord Howard, said:

"This is another major enhancement pro-ject for King’s Lynn and West Norfolk initi-ated by the borough council.

This is an historically significant area of the town and the project will enable peo-ple to better see and enjoy the town’s beautiful and important buildings such as the Town Hall and King’s Lynn Minster.

Work to improve Saturday Market Underway!

These were built to reflect and represent the prosperity of the area’s surrounding thriv-ing rural economy.

The main focus of the scheme will be to improve pedestrian access and to create more and better facilities for visitors. There will be some inconvenience for a few weeks, for which we apologise, but we very much hope that people will continue to support the venues, attractions and businesses in the area whilst the work is ongoing.” Toby Coke, Chair of Norfolk County Council's Environment, Development and Transport Committee, said:

"This scheme will breathe new life into the town's original and historic market place, whilst being in keeping with the host of listed buildings nearby.

Whilst there will be some disruption whilst we carry out the work, once completed; I'm confident that local people will agree that the area is a more welcoming environment for pedestrians and better suited to hosting outdoor events and activities." LaFarge Tarmac will carry out the work on behalf of Norfolk County Council and the other project funders.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga dates back to 15th century India and is where most modern day yoga styles originate from. It is generally practiced for mental and physical well-being….. Classes usually include mix of breath awareness and physical movement, the breath being the indicator of much about our physical, men-tal and emo-tional state. The movement

being important to both strengthen and loosen the body. Each class finishes with some relaxation time. The long term benefits of a regular yoga practice have shown to include: Improved posture, strength and flexibility. This along with body awareness can help ease or keep the body pain free. Research has also found that it can help to strengthen bones, slow down or prevent bone loss. It is a good way to release stress and can be very calming and relaxing. Brain boost! It helps with memory. Great if you need good night’s sleep. In class you learn to be curious, interested, but not judge yourself, to enjoy what you can do and to patiently develop the challenging things and also have some fun along the way! There are many different styles of yoga to suit most people, all giving great benefits. Best of all it keeps young (if only at heart)!!!!
