DESCRIPTION
The 27th Edition of the re-launched Marsham Village News.
Citation preview
Great News on Funding
for Newsletter We are really pleased to be able to report that no sooner had
we published last month’s edition detailing the challenges of
funding the Newsletter into the future, than we found out
that NEWS (managers of the Marsham Compost site) would
continue to fund it for a further year. That will take us up to
November 2015. Although solving our immediate problem
we must all continue to think about and explore possible
ways of funding for the Newsletter to ensure a longer term
future.
On the subject of future editions, we are planning a special
insert next month to remember the men of Marsham who
died while serving their country during the First World War.
As you can see on the thermometer on the left,
the Defibrillator Project is nearly there.
Can you help it reach the target?

Letters to the Editor
The letters in this section are published unedited and do not necessarily reflect the views of the
editing committee. We see the Village Newsletter as a channel for people in the village to air their
views – positive and negative.
Letter from the Village Hall
Committee
During August, the village hall’s gardener
found a sum of money which had probably
been dropped by someone attending the
village hall. If you think that might be you,
please contact Adrian on 734488.
Marsham Community Public Access
Defibrillator Project
Thank you this month to The Rotary Club of
Aylsham for their generous donation of £150. Our
total now stands at £1827 so we are getting very
close to our target of £2500.
Thank you also to all the children at Marsham
School for their wonderful posters which can be
seen at the Village Hall and the School. I’m sure you
will agree that they are very eye catching and
certainly help to support our defibrillator project.
The next part of the project is to adopt the BT
phone box outside the village hall where we are
planning to situate the defibrillator. The Village Hall
Committee is currently applying for listed buildings
consent, (the phone box is itself Grade II listed),
which is needed before proceeding further.
Our next fundraising event will be at the village hall
table top sale in October when we will be having a
chocolate tombola and a book table. If you would
like to make any donations to our tables please
bring them along on the day or pass them to any of
the project group.
If you can help with fundraising or would like to
make a donation please contact Nicola Hibberd on
01263 733557 or email nicola.hibberd@talktalk.net.
Thank you
Late News – We have just been informed
that we will be receiving a cheque from the
Starting Handle Club’s Summer Show of
£300, taking us to £2127.
CATS
As there are quite a few stray cats about in
Marsham I'm making a plea to all cat owners
or would be cat owners to have their male
and female cats neutered to save unwanted
kittens being born.
A survey once discovered in 12yrs a single cat
and her kittens, because they were not
neutered, produced at least 1,403 kittens! So
you
can see it's the responsible thing to do. Plus
it's better for our furry friends.
Yours sincerely,
Linda Wooster

In August, Graham and Barbara Davey came from Horsford to speak at our meeting. Mr
Davey described himself as a full-time antiques dealer and had brought with him a selection
of items from his collection of bygones. Mainly household items, many were familiar to us,
but we had to guess what some were. He had brought examples of kitchen ware and table
ware, e.g. wooden moulds for shaping pie cases, candle snuffers and wick trimmers, silver
grape scissors and many others which he described in an entertaining and enthusiastic
manner.
As usual we had received several invitations from neighbouring WIs; an evening with
Felthorpe, a flower arranging demonstration at Spixworth and an Autumn lunch with
entertainment at Cawston. Some of our members have accepted and we look forward to
hearing about these events at our next meeting.
In October we go to Erpingham WI for a joint meeting in their village hall; we always have
an enjoyable evening with them.
Our next meeting in Marsham village hall is on 26th
November when we hold our Annual
Meeting followed by learning a new simple craft item.
WI membership starts in January, new or returning members are welcome to join us, call me
on 01263 732606 or email at dorothymccall2@aol.com if you would like any further

When the Defibrillator Project appealed for prizes for their recent Quiz Night they
were given this brand new ride-on tractor suitable for a 2 to 4 year old child. They did
not use it at the time and are now looking for offers from anyone who might be
interested. Viewings by arrangement. Please contact Kelly on 07901665903.
The usual retail price is somewhere between £60 and £70 and would make an ideal

NEWS Operations Manager’s Monthly
Report
My name is Nigel Steward and I am
employed as Operations Manager for
NEWS. The Marsham In-Vessel
Composting (IVC) facility is one of the sites
under my direct responsibility and has
undergone many changes since I started
my employment with NEWS in January
2014.
I initiated the Marsham IVC Liaison Group
meetings which are now being held
quarterly as we believe that it is important
to understand local residents’ views on the
operation to enable us to address any
issues of concern. This group has a small
number of participants from the local
community and Parish Council together
with representatives from the
Environment Agency and the NEWS
management team.
In order to provide regular information
and a greater understanding of our
operations I have been afforded the
opportunity to compile a monthly update
report for this magazine, however, as
always we are happy to answer any
questions that residents may have
regarding the
regarding the operation via direct communication with the site or via e-mail.
Following the May 2014 Liaison Meeting, NEWS recognised and considered the views of the local residents and
decided to temporarily cease the processing of food waste. Since early June 2014 the food waste has been diverted
to a third-party processing facility in Milton Keynes. Furthermore, in order to undertake infrastructure improvement
work on site, NEWS ceased operations entirely and completely cleared the site of all food and green waste by the
end of July 2014.This improvement work is ongoing and NEWS is planning for the site to reopen as a ‘green waste
only’ facility towards the end of September 2014. NEWS is confident that this work will significantly improve the
odour control systems on site and, as such, we will continue to monitor emissions from the site and work closely
with the EA to improve the environmental impact of our operations on local residents.
More details will follow in next month’s report.
Nigel
