Tombola prizes are still needed please. It's a big ask, we know so we're asking for some small everyday kind of items. Like a tin of beans, packet soups, or maybe spaghetti hoops etc, prizes like that.
If they are in date and you could spare them, please could you drop them in this box. It's in the porch of Steetley House on the high street. We've been a bit silly and deliberately gone out to buy this tin..🤢 if you do win it, you've got half the ingredients ready for a trick or treat surprise come Halloween.
If you have a tombola donation and are unable to drop it off, please say in the comments and we'll arrange to collect from you.
thank you 😊🙏

Fete day, we'll have many games to play that will be free.
Some games will cost 50p, and most of those ones you could win a prize.
If you'd like to volunteer yourself or maybe your wife, husband or teenage kids for a stint in the wet sponge 🧽 we'll provide the towels. So, start saving your small change and bring your pound coins and 50p's to the fete 😊

We are delighted to announce the winner of the Helicopter Raffle prize is Diana Thackeray. She is absolutely thrilled, especially after talking to her friends about the ticket purchase yesterday and telling them that she never wins anything! 😊 Thank you very much to our kind benefactor, Diana is looking forward to seeing the Norfolk Coastline from a very different angle. 🚁☀️🌊
Thank you again to everyone who helped at and attended the Open Garden at The Old Rectory kindly hosted by Mr & Mrs Holloway to raise funds for both the village hall and St Mary’s Church fabric fund.

We've had a revamp on the bus timetables, making them easier to read. We have also bought a new board for the bus shelter, and laminated copies of the timetables for you.
Fingers 🤞 this notice board won't be vandalized and thrown into the road like the last one 🙄🙄 (annoying)
Double check you are waiting at the correct place for the bus, as they don't all stop at the shelter. One is at the crossroads at the top of London street, another stops opposite the shelter out the front of the white house gate. This just seemed like a logical place to display them for the village, as they are uncover from the weather.
