CPR and Defibrillator Training in the Village Hall on 5 November 2021
CPR and Defibrillator training on Friday 5 November at 5:30pm in the Village Hall (before the opening of the bar). The session will be run by a volunteer from the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA). Prior to Covid they had been running these sessions for around 18 months and trained approximately 10,000 Adults and Children in CPR and Defibrillator awareness across East Anglia. As well as working for EAAA the session leader also volunteers for the Norfolk Accident Rescue service (NARS). Mark Milsom says: ‘I have been a paramedic for 28 years and know only too well that your best chance of surviving a cardiac arrest is if a bystander performs CPR and a defibrillator is attached before the arrival of the emergency services. As a North Norfolk resident, I am keen that this training is offered to as many people as possible’.
The sessions are free although donations on the day from attendees and businesses to EAAA to help cover our CPR program costs are always appreciated. Any funds raised go back into teaching CPR to Adults and Children in our region.
It would be helpful if you could sign up in advance, please contact Trevor Hoad 822101.

News from the Village Hall
Picnic and Prom in the Park
It was with trepidation that I was watching the weather during the first week of September with its promises of showers, rain, wind … however, the morning of Sunday 6th September dawned at least dry, and not too chilly and windy. It augured well for the picnic. Lots of helpers arrived to set up the tables and arrange the bric-a-brac. An electric cable was run from the Church, and a few chairs arranged, the gazebo was erected, and a general air of anticipation started to generate. Our duo of Christina and Alex arrived, and the sun came out.
Despite the precautions required for Covid-19, quite a few people came to enjoy the live music and their picnics. The churchgoers joined us after the service, which had been a harvest based thanksgiving. We all were thankful to be able to enjoy meeting up with friends and for the kindness of the weather, which got better and better as the afternoon progressed. Christina and Alex entertained us with some most enjoyable vocal and instrumental traditional folk songs and some of their own compositions.
I would like to thank everyone who attended for their generosity and particularly all those who helped both before and after the event. The hard work paid off; funds raised amounted finally to £660.00, which was made up of donations, one or two internet sales, and the gift of masses of tools, and other most useful bric. Very many thanks to all who donated in whatever shape or form! The remaining bric has been taken to Crisis for Africa in Holt, and to Sue Ryder in Fakenham.
Sadly we are still unable to open the Village Hall. We are of course bound to observe the guidance from the Government and until there is a relaxation we do not foresee being able to re-open. In the meantime the hall is being kept clean and the plant pots watered. Lets hope the news improves before too long.

Village Boules Competition report
KETTLESTONE VILLAGE BOULES COMPETITION
The forecast was being monitored regularly and gave us a few moments of dread, but all seemed to be propitious for the Kettlestone Village Boules Competition. In previous years the event had been held on the August Bank Holiday Sunday – how glad we were that we decided to put it back to early September!
Pam Whitehead and Martyn Proffitt, our umpires, organised us tactfully and patiently, and we had lots of spectators, many of whom contributed to our BQQ lunch. The home-made lemon drink went down well, as did beer and wine, and the burgers and sausages were cooked to perfection. It was a most enjoyable day, the village showing us what a great community we live in, and the weather smiling on us. Thanks to one and all who came to support us, took part, contributed to the feast, and generally helped to make what was a special village event.
