We had a visit from Julie Rodgers and Tara Alabaster from Norfolk Community Health and Care Trust who took us gently through the risk factors for heart disease. An instructive and surprisingly light hearted evening gave us much to think about and a few bits of lifestyle to address.
18 September
Our meeting elected Peter Williams as Vice President, with Tony Cowles continuing as Secretary and David Baxter as Treasurer. Peter then chaired a business meeting that looked at charitable contributions, future Reepham festivals and our other activities – a busy year ahead. Minutes are in the members’ area.

We had an interesting debate about how to relieve pressures on health service funding. Despite our average age, we were in general agreement that the elderly should not receive so many expensive treatments. However we did not agree so much to tax sporting activity to provide a fund to cope with the injuries sustained.

We welcomed Andrew Tulett who has made an extensive study of the villages signs in Norfolk – hundreds of them. He took us through the items displayed on the signs – from prehistoric elephants to world war events. Members were also able to ask about signs in their villages after a fascinating talk.

A fresh Club Assembly as Arthur Hawes has now taken over as President. ADG Philip Hunt joined us to hear the plans for the year. More will be revealed later.

We heard from Sue and Jamie Mumford, trustees of Hospice Ethiopia UK about its work as the only hospice in a country of 120 million people. The challenges of travel, language and poverty were explained and the dedication of those working for improvement was obvious. The Club has sent a donation.

We are still working […]
