Earlier this year, I mentioned our gratitude to Peggy Bingham, who will give up her magazine deliveries at the end of 2005. So will Russell James; we thank him for his help in a variety of ways over a long period. He recalls the days when his late wife, Brenda, would type stencils for sheets to be duplicated and assembled into the complete copies, ready for distribution. Do you remember when your copy of Parish Life was prepared like this, long before today's fine professional version? I expect that there may be several who share my own earliest memories of Thorpe parish magazine which go back to a smaller publication with a mere local insert.
As a result of the above, we will need help in the New Year with magazines in the areas of Acacia Road, Henby Way and South Hill Close. Please get in touch with me for further information.
The next meeting of the Norwich & District Branch of Diabetes UK will be the A.G.M. @ 7 pm on Monday, September 5th at the Vauxhall Centre, Norwich, followed @ 7.30 by a talk, “What Can I Eat?“, by Marie Skerry, dietician. Raffle & refreshments - friends welcome. For further information, please contact Maggie Flatman, chairman, on 01603 783091.
Well spotted, if you noticed the address of another web site which I am compiling. Feel free to have a look at it and send your comments (you can do this via a guest book!).
