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.

Throughout the pandemic we have still seen people come forward and apply to become foster carers. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t stop for children who need to be looked after and come into our care. Over the past year we have been unable to attend events, so advertising in local magazines and online has been important for our awareness raising efforts.

We actively promote Norfolk families for Norfolk children and provide local support and training. It’s better for the children, the families, and for the community as a whole.
We take great pride in the fact that 97% of our Fosters Carers would recommend us. We’d be equally delighted to have your backing, and we sincerely hope you can help support our service now and into the future.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Councillor John Fisher

The Fakenham Parish Church Christmas Tree Festival Team had lengthy debate back in April before deciding that we had to go virtual. We now regard this as admirable foresight! Our plans are very well advanced. and the daily videos for the website – fakenhamchristmastreefestival.co.uk – have been filmed and are being edited ready for release.
Unfortunately, lockdown 2.0 will mean some changes, but much will be able to go ahead as planned. The website will operate as announced and both the Town Trail and the art competition can go ahead. Entry forms for the Town Trail can be downloaded from the website or collected from Bailey, Bird & Warren in Bridge Street. If neither of these is possible, the back of an envelope will be fine! Completed entries can be emailed to [email protected] or delivered to the Rectory Office in Gladstone Road.
Sadly, there will not be a live-streamed service on ‘Festival Sunday’, but there will be a pre-recorded service on the website.
Fakenham will be ‘Christmas Tree Town’. We are asking those businesses which offered to have a Christmas Tree themed display to do this whenever they can and individual households to use this second enforced ‘stay at home’ to create exciting and imaginative displays for their homes.
Whatever its limitations, and whatever the obstacles, there will be a Fakenham Parish Church Christmas Tree Festival in 2020!
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.
