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

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

said: Norfolk Wildlife Trust owns

and manages Wayland Wood. Many

Watton residents would be aware of

the spectacular display of flowers,

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

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

arewell Geoff and Anne - you will be missed

y 16th June marked a very

occasion in the ever

ng history of St Marys

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 -

FarewellAnne and I have really

appreciated the many messages

of goodwill and best wishes

from the community of Watton

and surrounding villages over

the last couple of months. We

have really enjoyed our time

here and it is hard to leave many

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

New Suspects

Sought for

Murder,

Mirth and

Mayhem!The Wayland Players are

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

backstage helping with props,scenery and costumes.

Auditions will take place at 7.30

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

dom selection of twelve will

up all sorts of variations of

nalities, not all conducive to

ve thought, and so it turned out

s case. There was one really

ant fellow who would try to

ze through his own bigoted

while two of the ladies

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

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!
