NEWS FROM NEEDHAM NOOK 

NARS and the NOOK Benefit from Inaugural Village Sale

It is with grateful thanks that I can report that local charity, Norfolk Ambulance Rescue Service and the Needham Nook received generous donations from the Village Sale held on the 15th of September. Feedback from the stall holders was that it was great success and that many have now found space in their garages they had forgotten even existed! Thank you to everyone that contributed and for their stall donation. With the help of the donation bucket at the BBQ we raised a total of £300.

New Village Initiative will see a Community Social Calendar Brought to Life.

We are looking for people from the village to start up a social group. We are hoping that a new group of faces separate to that of the other committees but joined in ethos and cause.

We would like to meet in a more social setting so we thought that maybe the pub would be a great place to meet. Watch out in the next edition of the Link for details. Until then look out for details of the Remembrance Service and Light Dinner at the Church and Village Hall; then the Christingle Service in the Church followed by a Torch Lit Walk through the village singing carols and looking at the lights in the village, finished with more carols at the pub plus a mince pie or two. Maybe next year we will have some new social events like a pudding club, film night, talks, and even a quiz night?

BRING OUT YOUR BOTTLES

Due to the perceived hazard of overhead power lines the Village Hall has to relocate the bottle bank. The Red Lion have generously offered to make space available to relocate one of the banks. Please continue to take your glass bottles to the bank now that it is at the Red Lion. The Village Hall are able to claim re-cycling credits for the glass collected from Norfolk County Council which goes towards the cost of organising village events such as the Summer Barbecue.
