Ever since I have lived in the UK it was apparent that the British and their love for curry are something to behold, dare I say it is a tradition one should celebrate. How better than to enjoy this dish in its myriads of varieties than to come together and SHARE our favourites.
On Sunday 4th September we invite you to Claxton Village hall for our first CurryOk.

We are charging a modest £10 for a family, or £5 per person. Rice, dahl, flat breads, our favourite curry dished and fruit salad will be provided and BUT if you bring a curry tickets are half price!

You are also invited to prepare your best chutney for the 2016 Chutney Challenge, a competition that will be judged by all for a mystery prize.

Booking will be essential, please ring Jane Paterson on 01508 538 415.

Sunday saw treasure hunting families following the clues to Reserve, where free cakes, strawberry and cream and a splash in a cool Hellington Beck were enjoyed by many. Anglian Water made a grant to the affected communities and we used this for the event.

Phillip Halstead, chair of Hellington and Rockland Community Reserve said ‘Many thanks for all those who helped organise the Treasure Hunt and the afternoon on the reserve and especially thanks to eighty people who came and made it such an enjoyable and memorable afternoon, it was a great day out!’

Daniel Yellop, transport coordinator (North East and East) for Norfolk County Council just sent out the following email – presumably to those who provided feedback about bus services earlier this year. It seems that Anglian buses will be back on the Surlingham to Norwich route from August 28th. He says

<<Here is a update on bus service 85, 85A and 86.
Following a re-procurement exercise, the attached timetables are those that will be operated from August 28th.
The Service 85 will be operated by Anglian
The Service 85a and the 86 will be operated by Our Hire (also known as Our Bus)
Attached are timetables for the services.
Following requests from the passenger consultation in the spring, an evening and Sunday service were both something I looked to secure for the 85 service at a low cost, however, there were no bids received.
The Adult fares for the Service 85a and 86 will be set at £2 return and £1 single from any point, to any point on route, the fares on the service 85 will not exceed those that are charged now.
Timetables will be made available on the operators websites nearer to the change date.

Last night’s Rock ‘n’ Roll night to raise ‘seed capital’ for the forthcoming Surlingham Festival on September 10th was a big success. The band were superb,  there was good food and drink and a party atmosphere.  The team who organised it worked really hard both before and during the event, so a big thank you to them all – in particular to Jo, Karen, Mandy, Michelle and Nick.  And of course to Surlingham resident Paul Archer for bringing the band.
