Palgrave Local History –Are YOU interested?
Ken Nockles has been looking at the censuses for Palgrave and has found a number of intriguing facts about the village and its inhabitants. Palgrave is an ancient village and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having two churches. All of this has prompted the notion of researching and then writing a history of Palgrave. Ken has approached the Community Council with the idea of forming a Palgrave History Group. If you would be interested in getting involved please phone Ken Nockles on 651599.

“YOGA: IF YOU CAN BREATHE, YOU CAN DO IT”...
Andy Murray is doing it; Roy Keane is doing it; so is Andrew Strauss**. Children are
doing it and seventy-five year-old grandmothers and grandfathers are doing it.
And almost certainly each one of them is benefiting from their yoga practice in their
own individual way.
People have been practising yoga for thousands of years, so it is truly tried and tested.
Yet the west has only relatively recently caught on to the remarkable transformations
that can take place in our bodies, our minds, and our beings through the regular
practice of yoga.
Yoga can be practised at many levels and modified to suit the practitioner, which is
why it is accessible to such a variety of different people, and hence the adage: "if you
can breathe, you can practise yoga".
It is non-competitive, so progress is experienced purely on a personal level.
It can help conditions such as depression, low mood and anxiety; it can eradicate
tendencies towards excess such as over-eating and instead helps us be moderate in
our actions, and thus find our natural weight.
Regular practice taps into our ability to welcome gentle discipline into our lives which
can help us make better life-choices, and may support our efforts to curb damaging
habits in our lives such as smoking or drinking alcohol to excess.
It compliments regular physical activities such as running or cycling, and can remove
the tension that builds up from sitting in front of a computer for too long. Yoga can
build up strength and flexibility and at the same time helps to calm the mind.
With links to philosophy and psychology, and surrounded by myths, yoga has many
dimensions to it; people choose to experience it at the level that suits them at any
particular time. It does make a rewarding and fascinating journey.
One of my current Palgrave students summed up her experience as follows: “I
absolutely love our yoga class, and come away not only feeling much more supple, but
calm and relaxed too.” Perhaps it's time to give it a go?

Palgrave Gardening and Social Group
The group’s visit to three gardens in Hoxne was an enormous success.
Each wonderful garden was very different and distinctive. It is amazing to
see how different spaces reflect personal styles and they were so
inspirational.
August 8th is the PGSG Al Fresco lunch to be held in Sheila True’s garden.
We meet there at 10.15am to deliver lunch food. Members will then share
cars to visit the Bog Garden just off the A143, returning for coffee and
lunch. Guests are welcome, dependent upon the number of members
attending, for a small payment of £2.50.
Anyone interested in the above or in membership of the group please
contact Sheila True on 01379 643393
Tip of the Month
When weeding this month, watch out for useful self-sown seedlings
(foxgloves, forget-me-nots, verbena bonariensis, hellebores, marigolds)
and transplant them to a spare patch in the vegetable garden. They will
grow rapidly in such luxurious conditions and will be fine plants when
moved to their flowering positions in the autumn/winter.
Janet Lockett
Thought for the Month
Gardening … In this the artist who lays out the work and devises a
garment for a piece of ground has the delight of seeing his work live and
grow hour by hour; and, while it is growing, he is able to polish, to cut and
carve, to fill up here and there, to hope and to love.
Prince Albert, who played a large part in designing the
gardens at Balmoral and Osborne House.

Fete 2011,
he annual fete took place on the Community Centre fields on the 10th July. After detailed organisation throughout the year a dedicated group of
committee and helpers were at the Centre from 9.00am to set things up for a 1.00pm start. It is 25 years since the Centre was officially opened and Gislingham Silver Band seemed an appropriate main attraction, they played a range of music throughout the afternoon as people took part in a range of traditional games and tucked into an array of food options both hot and cold.
The unusually still conditions on the field made it difficult to raise some of the larger kites of the display team but they did their best and several children attended the kite-making workshop in the main hall. Despite varying weather forecasts, one including hailstorms, an enjoyable day was had by all with the heavy rain only arriving after the raffle and traditional tug of war.
The Fete is one of our largest fundraising events and it is rewarding to see both young and old enjoying themselves whilst we earn about 10% of our annual expenditure. Cakes arrived on the day from people we did not know; thank you your efforts were very much appreciated. All the prizes for the Tombola, Raffle and the games were generously donated by residents of the village. A big thank-you to you all, we even had a few left over which will be used for raffles at the Music on the Meadow event and possibly firework night. Now the planning will commence for the 2012 Fete, maybe we should have an Olympic theme!
Red Cross Collection in Palgrave
The door-to-door collection in May raised £116. Thank you to all the people who contributed so generously. The money collected in Palgrave and the surrounding villages will be used in this region. We are all aware of the role of the Red Cross in emergencies such as flooding or fires, but there are other less well-known services such as medical loan outlets (ours is at Botesdale) where people may borrow wheelchairs, walking aids, commodes etc. There is also a “Home from Hospital” service which enables people to leave hospital earlier and regain their independence more quickly. We could raise much more money if we had more people collecting – there were only two of us in Palgrave this year! If you think you might be able to spare an hour or two next May please contact Janet (650622)

Andrei, Maya, Iryna L & Iryna R -Welcome to Palgrave
e welcome two children and two interpreters from Belarus to Palgrave.
They are part of the Diss group of 13 children who are staying with host families for a month, organised by the Diss Group of the charity Friends
of Chernobyl Children. The children spend Monday to Friday from 10.00am to 4.00pm with the
interpreters and helpers at the Salvation Army Community Centre where various activities are arranged. In the first week of their visit they have been given
dental treatment by a local dentist, been swimming, enjoyed a day of art at
Thetford Grammar School and been ‘crabbing’ at Walberswick. There are many more things planned for the next 3 weeks. Just before they depart they put on a
show for their hosts and helpers in a local school. At the weekends the host families entertain their guests. My interpreter Irya was very excited on her
second day here when my daughter and son offered to take her to London on a Saturday- and she had a brilliant time although they were all rather weary when
they arrived back at Diss Station at 10.00pm…………………………
Friends of Chernobyl's Children is a registered charity which devotes its energies
to raising funds to bring children, who are at risk, from Belarus to the United Kingdom for a month every year. The charity targets children from orphanages
or disadvantaged homes, aged between six and thirteen. These children are in great need and come from social situations that make it difficult for them to get
the care they require at home. The following information is from the FOCC website
80 miles north of Kiev in the Northern Ukraine is a town that prior to 1986, no-one had heard of. Then on the 26 April 1986 the No 4 reactor at the Chernobyl
nuclear power station in the northern Ukraine, overheated, exploded, then went into melt-down. The world's worst nuclear accident released 190 tons of highly
radioactive waste material into the atmosphere exposing the people of Chernobyl to radioactivity 90 times greater than that from the explosion of the Hiroshima
atomic bomb. Few details were given initially as the Soviet government
attempted to cover up the incident, however following a great deal of international pressure the full horror of the incident was slowly released. A huge
area around the plant was devastated by the explosion and the ensuing radioactive contamination spread over the neighbouring countries. To this day
there is nothing growing where once agriculture was the main occupation of the common man. Further afield cattle still graze on contaminated land thus causing
the population to be continuously exposed to radiation via the food chain. As part of the former Soviet Union, Belarus lies in the shadow of Chernobyl, the
southern border being only 15 kilometres from the plant. The wind direction on the day of the disaster caused the majority of the fallout to be directed towards
the Belarusian towns of Gomel and Mogilev. Of the radiation that was released by Chernobyl, over 70% fell onto the population of Belarus resulting in 800,000
children in Belarus and 380,000 in the Ukraine being at a high risk of contracting cancer or leukemia. It will be another 24,000 years before the land is safe and
the children no longer suffer. At the meeting of the United Nations conference,
Belarussian scientists have declared this to be the greatest international ecological disaster in the history of humanity.

OPEN GARDENS
Thank you to all the people, especially the gardeners’ and scarecrow designers, who were involved with the Open Gardens event. Unfortunately it was the weekend also chosen by many other local villages for their Open Garden event and we did not attract as many visitors as we had hoped for. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and although Saturday was dull it did not rain. However we did manage to make just over £500 towards Community Centre funds.
Circus Stars Summer Reading Challenge at your local library
Roll up, Roll up…and join the circus fun at your local Norfolk County Council library this summer. The ‘Circus Stars reading challenge’ encourages children to read and collect
stickers – offering families a free activity to help make learning fun during the summer holidays.
The challenge is for children of all ages. They can read any books they like – fact books, stories, joke books, picture books – it’s up to them. Audio books count
too!
To sign up, simply pop into the library or onto the mobile library from Saturday 23 July and collect a Circus Stars 3D folder. Children complete the challenge
when they have collected six stickers (one for each book) and will be presented with a medal and a certificate at special events in early September.
Look out for more details in the library, including special circus themed events. For library opening times visit: www.norfolk.gov.uk/libraries

BBQ from 5.00pm Vegetarian Quiche ~ Cakes ~ Coffee & Tea
o you remember our Music on the Meadow event in August last year? It was another good event at your Community Centre with a full musical
programme organised by John Sparks. This year top of the bill will be the John Stannard Band playing music to suit all tastes – pop, R&R, jazz and blues – you can jive or sing along to them. Also on the programme are soloists singing, playing banjo and guitar; and also a taste of acapella with fiddle and mandolin. Refreshments will be available and the Bar will be open. It all starts off at 4.00 p.m. on Sunday 21st August. We cannot charge for entry but a collection will be taken – and we look forward to seeing YOU there on Palgrave’s playing field on a lovely summer evening – please bring your own garden chair or rug to sit on. Please remember it can be quite chilly and somewhat windy on our playing field so please dress to suit the weather conditions.
Community Centre Garden Are you able to help?
The Community Centre garden is in desperate need of attention. The
recent heavy rain has enabled the weeds to thrive, so it would be good to
have a hand with getting the garden back under control. We hope at the
next Coffee Morning on 20th August to try and do some weeding, weather
permitting. Please come along if you are able to lend a hand.
Refreshments will of course be provided to gardeners.
If you cannot make the Coffee Morning then your help another time would
be appreciated.
If six people could manage only an hour each then 6 hours weeding will
have been done!

Potatoes in Buckets –
PALGRAVE SUMMER FLOWER SHOW
If you need advice on growing bumper crops of potatoes in a bucket then Nick & Anita Hales are the people to ask. They were 1st and 2nd in our potato competition with crops of 2405 grms & 2014 grms. The smallest crop weighed a mere 195 grms. We had 42 entries of potatoes in the show, although over 70 buckets with potatoes were sold earlier in the year. Perhaps some people had a crop failure or forgot to bring the potatoes to the Show. Anyway it was quite a challenge emptying the buckets and weighing the contents as we had to do this inside the building due to the heavy rain. Our thanks to Pat and Joan from the garden club for their help with this task. The TOP 10 were Nick Hales 2405 grms
Anita Hales 2014 grms
Jean Potter 1645 grms
Antony Lloyd 1343 grms
Mary Bailey 1227 grms
Bob Cowell 1117 grms
