Yes, it is time for a reminder to dog walkers to pick up after their pets. As usual the footpath to the play park seems to be a popular location for this thoughtless practice.

There are three bins for dog waste one at the end of the footpath on New Road and others in The Covey and at St Marys Church. Please use them or take it home.

Now the but…..

The play park remains closed as part of the Corvid 19 lockdown. A good thing given HUMAN EXCREMENT AND TISSUES have been left there.

How irresponsible why anywhere but especially why the entrance to the play park?

A prank or someone trying to make a point – Not smart or clever on any level

It is fortunate the park is closed as the potential risk of infection can only be imagined.

This with the dog mess has been dealt with by someone who cares.

Dear All,
On Wednesday 10th June at 10:30am, Art Café is meeting to look at Stanley Spencer’s Hilda, Unity and Dolls (1937) and some of his other works. I’ve attached an image of the painting below.

Please contact me on 538014 or Clive Evans on 538234 if you would like a Zoom invitation. Please note that the invitation link changes every week.

If last week’s Café whetted your appetite for illuminated manuscripts, you may be interested on Prof. Paul Binki’s talk ‘On the Edge’, which will be streamed by the Churches Conservation Trust on Facebook on Wednesday 1-2pm. Paul will explore the marginal images in medieval manuscripts and their possible meanings.

I look forward to coffee and your company on Wednesday!
Best wishes,
Nick

Dear All,
Today’s service reflects the theme of Trinity Sunday, the day we give thanks that as Christians we can worship God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The order of service is below and includes the words for today’s anthem, ‘Holy, Holy Holy’ by Schubert (and sung by Nick, Helen and Eve in the video).

PLEASE NOTE:
Nick and Helen are taking the afternoon off, so the next Zoom ‘Happy Hour’ will be next week, 5pm on Sunday 14th June.

Wishing you a Happy and Safe Trinity Sunday,
Nick and Helen

There are lots of reports across social media of Test & Trace scams.

Please remember, genuine texts, calls or emails from the NHS service will not ask you for any personal details upfront.

You will be given a unique ID number to log in to the NHS Test and Trace website. The ONLY official web address for the NHS Test and Trace service is here

Once you have logged in using your ID, you’ll be asked to enter some basic information about yourself including:

– Your name, date of birth and current address
– the names of the people you live with
– places you’ve recently visited
– names and contact details of people you were in touch with around 48 hours before you developed symptoms.

You will not be asked to share this information upfront over a call or text, so if someone is asking you for it directly, they are a scammer.

Contact tracers will never:

❌ ask you to dial a premium rate number to speak to us (for example, those starting 09 or 087)
❌ ask you to make any form of payment or purchase a product of any kind
❌ ask for any details about your bank account
❌ ask for your social media identities or login details, or those of your contacts
❌ ask you for any passwords or PINs, or ask you to set up any passwords or PINs over the phone
❌ disclose any of your personal or medical information to your contacts
❌ provide medical advice on the treatment of any potential coronavirus symptoms
❌ ask you to download any software to your PC or ask you to hand over control of your PC, smartphone or tablet to anyone else
❌ ask you to access any website that does not belong to the government or NHS

Stay scam aware and report any suspicious approaches to Norfolk Trading Standards via 0808 223 1133.
