Dear Editor,
I note with interest the letter from Mr. Ching
regarding the use of “the large acreage of maize”
being used for Biogassing. As Mr. Ching may be aware
this is a very controversial use of agricultural land.
Using journalistic licence this could be headed “heat
or eat”. The United Nations has already estimated
that the use of agricultural land for bio-fuel cropping
has caused food prices to rise an estimated 3-30%,depending on source and food type, and in 2011 has
estimated an increase of 21% in corn prices alone. The
practice is on the increase, as our Marsham
correspondent notes, and this hidden price increase
will continue. There is already tension in the
agricultural world regarding animal-feed cropping,
versus straight food production, and now this extra
use of land, which is totally out of the food chain is
squeezing the situation further. Scientists are nowlooking at more sustainable bio-fuel sources and are
researching algae and seaweed as well as fungi, as
energy producers. Interestingly The EU is the biggest
producer of Bio-fuels, followed by a growing
production in The USA. Sometime in the future the
whole issue will have to be debated, and probably
regulated.

In October we welcomed 16 members from Erpingham and Calthorpe WI to our joint meeting in the
Village Hall here in Marsham. Our speaker for the evening was Molly Housego who talked about “TheCostumes of Anne Boleyn” and she arrived dressed in the style that Anne may have worn. She spoke
about the daily life of the Boleyn family, their social life and of Anne growing up, her marriage to King
Henry VIII and her eventual execution. Anne was born at the beginning of the 16th century, probably at
Blickling. Married in 1533, she was Henry’s second wife. However, he had her beheaded in 1536. It is
thought that the reason for her execution was her inability to produce a son and heir, but her daughter
eventually became Queen Elizabeth I. Molly ended her talk by describing to us the relevance of the
different layers of the costume she was wearing.
We now look forward to our meeting in December when we will be going to The Marsham Arms for our
Christmas meal.
Our programme for 2014 has now been prepared with our first meeting being on Wednesday 22nd January,
so if you are a woman interested in joining Marsham WI please come along then. Meetings are usually
held on the 4th Wednesday of the month in the Village Hall at 7.30pm, new members will be very
welcome. There is a WI board on the wall at the right of the Village Hall kitchen where you can see
details of our activities.
Best wishes for a happy, safe and healthy festive season!

Support Your Local Cinema
The village hall management committee have been showing films on a big screen in the hall since 2007. They have
shown over 30 films in that time and while audiences have always fluctuated they have been at an all time low this
year. While afternoon performances have built a growing and loyal audience, the evenings have unfortunately been
attended by dwindling numbers. The production is very high quality using the latest technology. However good yourTV equipment is at home it is not possible to create the atmosphere of watching a film on such a large screen. Please
support your local cinema or it might disappear forever. See What’s On for news of the next film.
