From the Editor



Happy New Year to all our readers!  Let’s hope that 2013 will be as socially successful in Needham as 2012 was. 
2012 ended on a high note with the Village Hall Christmas Dinner. The Village Hall was decorated with new fairy lights and a tree donated by White House Farm.  The atmosphere was very festive with almost sixty people celebrating with a delicious Christmas dinner cooked by John Broome. A big thank you to all the members of the Village Hall Committee who worked so hard to make this event such a success. The photos of the evening were taken by Helen Walker.

The bottle bank, which brings money into the Village Hall fund,  benefitted from the wine intake during the evening.  
The bottle bank, positioned outside the village hall, costs £589 to hire but ‘earns’ £822 thus making a profit of £233. So, good folk of Needham, do bring your empty bottles (they don’t have to have contained wine) to the bottle bank and help to earn some money for the village hall. 

Speeding through Needham continues to be a problem particularly in the early mornings and evenings.  There is a possibility of having the use of a speed monitoring device for the village.  This would require volunteers to operate it.  The volunteers would need training which is provided by South Norfolk Council.  If you would like to put your name down as a volunteer please contact Andrew Major through the Needham Link at needhamlink@gmail.com
