PARKER'S TALES OF NORFOLK PAST

'PARKER' aka David Joice
preparing his 'humorous tales' for recording onto CD. Fifty guests exploded in shrieks of mirth as Parker told his anecdotes with the real Norfolk dialect.
But this is a serious matter for David has suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years and has raised a considerable amount of money with after dinner speeches.
Now Parker is going onto CD for sale to raise yet more money for this great cause. I could tell you one of Parker's tales but I'm not going to YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THE CD.

Reepham has been a more attractive and colourful place as a result of Geoff Deal's efforts to put hanging baskets of flowers around the market place and carefully look after them all summer; and we know that he actively encouraged the refurbishment of the Market Place some months back. And now, as he had done last year, for miniature Christmas trees once again.
