A message to all our valued advertisers: One of our advertisers has contacted us

to say that a call was received from someone who said he got her details from The

Voice. This caller was very persistent in trying to sell advertising space in a

magazine which, he said, goes out free to local households. We would urge all of

you to please check carefully if you are contacted by cold callers trying to sell you

space, and please see the link below for further information.

Finding Hope

We've all been basking in some lovely bright sunshine recently. With lighter nights

and the hope of summer to look forward to it's a lovely time of year. But we should

all spare a thought for those for whom life is difficult at the moment, for all who are

walking in the darkness of pain.

Tragedy strikes all of us at some time or other and when tragedy strikes, in its many

different ways, whether it's the loss of a loved one or something else that hurts us

deeply; the blow can rob us of our sense of hope. Of all the possible tragedies to

strike, the death of a child has to be the most heartbreaking, devastating and family-

shattering. A more savage wound I cannot imagine.

Loss of hope is absolutely crippling. So how do we regain hope? I don't mean joy or

even normality, but hope that someday life might again make sense again and be

lived without daily unbearable pain. How can we be optimistic when we know the

worst case scenario not only can happen but already has?

We have to deal with the grief and the loss and this can take a long time. Loss is a

powerful event that can't be swept under the rug. It's important to be able to talk, to

sort out our feelings: a friend, someone from the church (including the Vicar) or

maybe a support group, counsellor, therapist, perhaps even the doctor.

For those of us who find ourselves close to someone suffering we all have much to

offer. It's very important that we share our love and our support.

Eventually, we do find our way back - whatever happened to us we realize it no

longer holds us prisoner. But I don't think we ever really get over a crisis or move

on. Instead, we grow. We take all we've learned and continue growing. Trusting in

the goodness of life is part of that. And for those of us who have faith and put our

trust in the God of love, or who grow to discover and deepen our faith in Him through

all our struggles and pain there is so much more.

As we come to the knowledge that this life is not all there is and that there is a

presence in our own lives, one who will hold us close, lift us high, strengthen and

uphold us through thick and thin; we find in Him a sense of peace that could not

have been dreamed of before.

I know how hard it is, but I also know it's possible. I've seen it happen. It happened

to me.

In Him, our God of love and compassion, therein lies hope.

Much love

Revd Jane

Magazine Bundles

Distributors Needed

We have a small team of

people who collect magazines

from Bridge House in Gayton,

put them into bags and deliver

them to our distributors.

We are looking for someone to

do this in Ashwicken. You will

only have to drop off about six

bundles.

Please ring Sarah Renwick on

01553 636275 for more

information, thank you.

Leziate WI meeting

There were 5 apologies for the May

meeting, mainly due to holiday

commitments. Our WI advisor, Meg

Dorling, took us through the national

resolution for the AGM in Leeds. Our

local representative, Pat Watts, also

attended our meeting and we voted for

it, ie. personal organ donations. Meg

explained that 3 people die every day

needing an organ transplant. Nine

organs can be used from your body if

suitable. If anyone decides to donate,

and therefore carries a card indicating

this, family members have to be told, so

your wishes can happen and help others

in need. Pat Watts stated that a donor

has to have died in hospital. Meg was

thanked by Eileen Baxter. Unfortunately,

member Jan Eason was away on

holiday so was unable to give her talk a

European vacation by train, which will

be given at a later date. The competition

of a holiday souvenir was won by Myrtle

Roberts, 2nd Georgy Morris and 3rd

Sylvia Webber. Birthday ladies were

Mary Besmar and Margareta Whiskin.

Raffle winner was Sylvia Webber.

At our June meeting we were very lucky

as Michael Aldiss, who is a Town Guide,

showed slides and talked about historic

King's Lynn. It was so interesting to see

old photos of the town hall of when it

was first built in 1422, and to see

portraits of famous people connected to

the town, eg. Sir Robert Walpole,

Captain Vancouver, Fanny Burney,

Charles I, Charles Burney, King John

and others. St Margaret's Church

featured with lots of olden day

photographs of Clifton House and

Tuesday Market packed with stalls.

Michael was thanked by Margareta

Whiskin. The competition of a local

recipe was won by Margareta Whiskin,

2nd Betty Alpe and 3rd Ali South.

Heather Box won the raffle.

July and August are to be outings.

September 16th is harvest tea in the

village hall.

News

On Wednesday 11th June lots of

children from our school took part in the

GIANT WALKING BUS

national initiative organised by Brake

Road Safety Charity. Our children have

been learning about road safety and

they designed posters and made

placards to take on their usual Walk to

School route. The event helped raise

awareness about the dangers of traffic

and cars driving too fast. It also

encouraged children to think about

walking whenever possible to help the

environment.

Very well done

for a 25 prize.

To develop this further, a Tea and Chat

has been arranged at the Church for

many will come.

GAYTON NEWS

Gayton Evergreens

At our meeting in May the speakers

were from the East Coast Truckers'

charity, set up by heavy goods hauliers

to give disadvantaged children a fun day

out to Pleasurewood Hills.

We were shown a film all about their

work, from the gleaming trucks taking

two days to prepare, the excited children

and their carers arriving, it was then time

to set off from the Norwich cattle market,

in the eighty trucker long convoy, now in

its 29th year.

Each year more hauliers apply to take

part in this spectacular occasion,

however the rules and regulations that

surround this day are vast, so a limit of

eighty is the rule.

After a very interesting program a total of

169.00 was raised by the Evergreens

for this very worthwhile cause.

Everyone then enjoyed afternoon tea

and homemade cake, the football tote

was played and the raffle drawn, before

a very pleasant afternoon drew to an

end.

July 16th A members only meeting in

the Jubilee Hall at 2.30pm, this year's

lovely Strawberry Tea only 3.00.

August 27th There is still just time to

pay for your theatre ticket for the Cromer

show if you would like to go; booking

closing on July 7th, Cromer and Show

Members 22, non members 25.

Cromer only 7, non members 10,

please let Derek know asap on 636377.

September 17th In the Jubilee Hall at

2.30pm A Cheese and Wine party

afternoon!

Saturday September 20th 10-30 am In

the Gayton Jubilee Village Hall The

Evergreens are holding a fundraising

Coffee Morning for Tapping House, stalls

to include Craft, Books/Puzzles, Cakes,

Raffle and Tombola.

Gayton Parish Council News

Meeting held 9th June 2014

Development of Old Mill Site and

West of White Lodge

The Council considered two planning

applications an outline application for a

large development of 33 homes on the

Old Mill Site and an application to

construct a new dwelling on land west of

White Lodge. Whilst the Council

supports development of the Old Mill

Site, this is on the proviso that a suitable

and safe footway is installed as a

condition of any planning consent given

and that the Council agrees with the

proposed layout of the 33 homes, once

detailed plans are available. The

Council would also like to see

improvements made to the junction of

the B1153, Back Street and B1145, Lynn

Road within the application. The Council

also had no objection to the construction

of a new dwelling on land West of White

Lodge, however, echoed the concerns of

a close neighbour to both sites that

construction at each site should be

staged to avoid unnecessary

inconvenience to neighbours.

Website

The Council considered the website in

conjunction with its responsibility to

make its financial and other information

available to parishioners via the site in

the future. The Councillors viewed the

website of another parish council,

and whilst they

acknowledged that Forest Row is a

much larger Parish than Gayton, it was

agreed that the layout and presentation

of the website is something that Gayton

Parish Council should strive for. The

website administrator has agreed to

restructure the website for 100 and the

www.forestrow.gov.uk

Council agreed to accept this.

Bus Shelter at Vicarage Lane

The Council noted that the guttering on

the bus shelter is in a bad state and

requested a quotation for its repair.

Nigel Drew provided a quotation of 195

to replace all broken and rotting

guttering. This was accepted.

Dog Fouling

The Council noted a report from Sharon

Ludford, Neighbourhood Officer at the

Borough Council, regarding the

campaign to help prevent dog fouling on

the footpaths in Gayton. Sharon felt that

the visits that she and a PCSO made to

the parish at different times of the day

and week were very positve and helped

remind dog owners that they must

always pick up after their dogs and that

a 75 fixed penalty fee can be issued to

them on the spot if they do not. The

Council was grateful for the work that

Sharon put into this campaign along with

the PCSO.

Next Parish Council Meeting

The next Parish Council Meeting will be

held at 7.30pm on 14th July at Gayton

Jubilee Hall.

Gayton W I

Our members who attended the Science

day at Swanton Morley had a most

enjoyable, and informative, meeting with

excellent speakers covering such

subjects as brain injuries, the sky at

night, volcanoes and police forensic

work when we took our own fingerprints.

The Flower Festival at Walpole St. Peter

was a delight with over 7000 worth of

flowers. The displays were creative and

stunningly beautiful, the colours co-

ordinated to glorious effect. A visit which

was most enjoyable and we will certainly

go again next year.

Another visit was to Ware Hall House in

Wells, a mediaeval house which was

moved brick, beam and rafter by rafter

from Ware in Hertfordshire to Wells by

Miss Savage in order to save the lovely

building from being demolished for a

roundabout! We were welcomed by the

current owner with tea and cake before

being given a guided tour of the house.

Our various visits are fun and

educational!

Disappointment was felt that our speaker

for our June meeting did not arrive, so

Dr Penny Watkins gave us another of

her talks, this time on 'Bras', and Penny

Andrews filled in with a brief talk on her

time as housekeeper. As one member

said 'We had our two penny worth'.

We have a fish and chip supper planned

and our June speaker is coming in

August.

May I remind you that offers of bulbs,

early flowering please, will be gratefully

received in early September for us to

plant round the village.

For information on our active WI do

contact me on 01553 636571

Council Tax Banding Scam Borough Council of King's Lynn and

West Norfolk residents are being warned

about a scam that has already seen at

least one person tricked out of over

500. A resident received a call from

someone claiming to be from the

council, informing her that her property

band for council tax was too high. They

asked her to pay 561 in order for them

to look into the matter and reduce her

banding. Unfortunately, the resident

made the payment. The matter has been

reported to Trading Standards. If you

receive a call about your council tax you

should verify that the call is genuine by

taking the callers name and then calling

the switchboard on 01553 616200.

If someone has concerns over their

banding, they should contact the

Valuation Office who will look into the

matter free of charge, (see your council

tax bill for contact details) or at

www.west-norfolk.gov.uk.

GAYTON THORPE NEWS

Gayton Thorpe Parish News

Dave

Dave, our long haired Ginger cat, went

walkabout recently. He has done it

before but only for a couple of days, so

we were getting worried when it went to

three and four. Luckily we heard from

Paul and Susanna that he had been

spotted in the back with the lovely Lily. It

still took him a day to get back from

there but it was a relief. He did,

however, bring back quite a few fleas.

So at great expense we have de-flead

everyone, had to get Jo in a headlock to

do her. Anyway, just to say thank you to

everyone who kept an eye out for him.

Hopefully he will stay local for a while.

Highways

I think that Highways have now

completed all the work in the village that

they had agreed after our meeting. They

have also been through the village

recently and are going to fill some pot

holes.

The next Parish Council meeting will be

on 14th July 2014 at 7.30pm. If anyone

has any issue they would like me to

raise please let me know or come along

to the meeting.

l Churchyard Clean Up

As most of you will know, sadly, Donald

has been unwell, and we have not had

the benefit of his efforts in the

churchyard for some time. So it has

begun to look rather uncared for. It had

a strim in June, but with this warm

weather with regular rain, it will be

growing up quickly. We thought it would

be a good opportunity to have a village

get together to have a bit of a tidy up,

like we used to years ago.

So, please come along on the 10th July

from 6.30pm onwards to lend a hand.

The more, the merrier!

Refreshments will be available and the

tower will be opened up, in case anyone

would like to have a climb up to see the

view!

Next service

Our next service will be held at Gayton

Thorpe church on the 24th July at 7pm.

As usual, it will be a short service with

tea/ coffee, cake and opportunity for a

chat afterwards.

Come along and have a sing!

QEH Matters

I am a public governor for the QEH

Foundation Trust. NHS Foundation

Trusts are free from central government

control and are able to decide how to

improve their services. They are

accountable to their local communities

and local people can become members

and governors. The governors

represent the interests of the local

community and communicate and share

key information with other members.

We want to encourage people who live

in our catchment area to become

members of the Trust. You will have

more say in how your hospital is

developed for you and the whole

community. Anyone aged 16 and over,

and living within the area, is eligible to

become a member . If you become a

public member it shows you care about,

and have an interest in the services we

provide. It is free and involves nothing

more than receiving information. It is up

to you how much or how little you wish

to be involved. You can join online by

going to the Trust website

or phone the

office for a form 01553 613142.

Many of you will have read about the

CQC visit last year and its report which

put the hospital in Special Measures.

The Trust's immediate aim is to continue

to be the preferred hospital for local

people, providing easily available

emergency and specialist services. They

are working with GPs and other users to

provide a service which meets the needs

of the local population and find ways of

improving efficiency. The CQC will be

visiting the hospital again in July and

there should be some feedback by

September for the next edition.

www.qehkl.nhs.uk

I have been writing regular updates in

the Grimston parishes' magazine and

would now like to include the Gayton

parishes . I am told that people find them

informative, as we all have an interest in

happenings at our local hospital.

GAYTON THORPE NEWS

Individual Electoral

Registration

This year's annual registration exercise

starts on 4th August and for the first time

everyone will be responsible for their

own registration. This is called

Individual Electoral Registration (IER)

and replaces the previous system which

allowed one member of a household to

register everyone who lived at their

address.

All currently registered electors will have

their name and address checked against

government records. Those whose

details are confirmed will automatically

transfer to the IER register without

having to do anything and will be

notified. Anyone whose details cannot

be confirmed will also be notified and

asked to provide additional information

in order to be registered under IER.

Households where nobody is currently

registered will be sent a Household

Enquiry Form (HEF). The purpose of

this is to ask whether anyone in the

house needs to register. If so they will

then be sent an Invitation to Register

(ITR). Their details will then also be

checked against government records

before they can be registered.

The Electoral Registration Officer would

very much appreciate householders' co-

operation in making the change to IER

as smooth as possible by promptly

responding to any form received.

In the event that anyone in a

household receives neither

confirmation of automatic transfer to

IER, a HEF nor an ITR, he/she will

need to contact the Electoral Helpline

on 01553 616773. This will particularly

apply to young people approaching the

age of 18 but could also apply to anyone

who has joined a household but not yet

registered.
