TO ALL PARISHIONERS
Through the eyes of a child
Seeing the world through the eyes of a child can be amusing and also illuminating. I
came across a number of comments made by a group of very young children when
asked what they thought of the church. Here are just a few:
Those comments gave me more than one smile and a chuckle to myself, but they
also made me think.
Children see things in a very straight forward, literal way and they are not afraid to
say what they think. In that way they are often more honest than us adults. They
can reveal much to us. However, unless something is explained and taught to them
they will simply 'say what they see.' Rather like the TV quiz show 'catch phrase'!
I really enjoy the contact I have with the children in our villages, through the schools,
guiding groups, messy church and family services on Sundays. If I were to carry out
my own survey about 'the church' (now there's a thought) with our children (which
includes messy church and collective worship in school) I hope most would say 'it's
fun'. I sincerely hope none of them would say they have to be taken out to 'calm
down'! And I hope that at least some would 'see' the church as the place where they
come to learn about the life of Jesus and the stories he told which teach us how
to live His Way and become better, more loving, happier people. And ultimately
where we not only learn about, but discover the love of God for ourselves.
The Vicar lives in the Church. The church is built for God to live in, except you can't
find him in there. You can find the Vicar. It's God who's harder to find. I think maybe
he's hiding. The church has lots of windows, but they're high up so you can't look out
of them. They have Bible people painted on them. God is in some of them, but he
looks quite angry. Maybe that's because all these people are sitting in his house.
There is a very important table called an altar. But it doesn't alter, it doesn't do
anything, it just stands there. If you run around the church when the Vicar is talking,
you get dragged off and taken out the church for five minutes. Then Dad says I've
got to calm down. Sometimes Dad takes me out to calm down three or four times.
Sometimes I was calm already! There's a big box up the front on top of some steps,
it's for standing in when you tell people about God. Except the Vicar doesn't go up
there, he stands down the bottom with everyone else, and tells them what to do from
there. Prayers are like asking God for things, but God must hate you asking for
things, because when the person's asking the prayers everybody else ducks down
and hides behind the chair in front!
Let the little children come to me, do not stop them, for it is to such as these
that the kingdom of God belongs and he took them up in his arms, laid
hands on them, and blessed them. Mark 10.13-16

ASHWICKEN, LEZIATE & BAWSEY NEWS
3.6million pounds.
You may well have seen the signs that
Anglian Water is spending 3.6 million
on a new sewerage scheme at
Ashwicken.
It is an awful lot of money, but some
homes are having terrible problems. So
it is a good thing. part of the scheme
involves siting a sewage treatment
works in Church Lane and the residents
are not very happy about that. It will
cover 2/3 of an acre and be completely
open to view. It is also situated directly
on a difficult bend and there are
concerns about fly tipping and others.
Worst of all it will completely blot the
landscape.
Other sewage works locally are set away
from public gaze, often down farm tracks
and even then completely screened. So
what can be done?
An alternative site exists and has
already been offered to Anglian Water.
A group of CARERS, representing the
views of all opponents, have set out their
objections to the planning authorities.
They are discussing the situation with
Toby Coke, our NCC councillor and
Henry Bellingham our local MP. They
have also leafleted every single home in
Ashwicken, 158 and, so far, have
received 118 votes in favour of their
petition that: "Anglian Water review the
current proposal and review the
alternative site." There were just
4 abstentions and only 1 person voted
for the existing site.
Thanks go to everyone for their support
and we now hope that Anglian Water do
the right thing.
But
Planning permission has not yet been
granted and it may be that, by the time
you read this, everything will have been
settled. Let us hope it is the right thing.
As many of you may have heard we had
our chickens stolen from the school site
on Saturday 8 June.
The theft was discovered by one of our
parents when he and his daughter came
to feed the chickens on the Sunday
morning. The wire fence had been
carefully cut and five of our beloved pet
chickens had gone, leaving the
remaining chicken, 'Betty Boo Boo',
quivering in her nest.
The children, staff and parents are
clearly very upset and puzzled as to why
someone would do such a despicable
crime. The children lovingly reared these
chickens from eggs five years ago and
they have been part of our school 'family'
for such a long time. The children used
to collect the eggs every day and the
chickens would follow them around as
they were so tame.
'Betty' has been re-homed with a local
family and now all we have is an empty
chicken run.
Many thanks to all those kind people
who have offered to replace our
chickens and help mend the fence.
If anyone has any information about the
theft then please contact the local police
or the school.

Leziate Parish Council
Meeting held 12 June 2013.
Several residents attended from Church
Lane and presented the results of their
recent survey and consultation on the
sewage treatment works. It was made
very clear that the residents and indeed
the Parish Council are supportive of the
scheme, but it appears that the vast
majority of residents in the immediate
vicinity are against the siting of the
treatment works.
After much debate, it was agreed that
the Parish Council would support the
residents in this and write to Anglian
Water and also Norfolk County Council
to ask them to reconsider the site and
change to alternative site 2.
Cllr Beales, Borough Councillor and Cllr
Coke, County Councillor also supported
this.
The Chair, Cllr Eayres, welcomed Cllr
Coke to his first Parish Council meeting
and we all look forward to him being a
regular at future meetings.
Toby Coke gave a report on the progress
of stopping the incinerator and reported
that Cabinet Scrutiny is calling for an
independent report on the cost
implications of pulling out of the contract.
He also reported that they are asking
central Government for help in
extricating themselves from the contract.
Andy Wallace, the NCC highways
engineer for the area, was present at the
meeting. He promised to look at the
verge cutting which has been patchy in
places. Andy believes it may be
because NCC are only funding two cuts,
meaning maybe the first cut was left too
long.
th
Reports were heard about the use of
motorised craft at the sailing club and
advertising of wakeboarding and water
skiing. Cllr Beales has reported this to
the Borough and it will become an
enforcement issue if it continues. It is
imperative that any sightings or hearings
of motorised craft are reported to the
Borough Council so a full record can be
kept of any such incidents.
Our local PCSO was at the meeting and
gave a report on happenings in the
Parish. She is still working on controlling
motor bikes and litter at Bawsey pits and
will be issuing leaflets in several
languages to the people she meets
there.
The Parish Council was saddened to
hear about the theft of the chickens from
the school. This was a particularly nasty
crime and if anyone has information then
they are requested to phone 101.
The Parish Council next meets on
.
All are welcome and there is always a
chance for parishioners to have their
say.

May Meeting Report
June Meeting
The speaker for the May meeting on
Tuesday 21 May was Rosemary
Fenson, talking about herbs and spices.
We were given lots of health tips on how
to use chives, mint, parsley, rosemary,
lavender, horseradish, garlic, cloves and
many more. The old saying '
, you do
need to eat the apple skin for the pectin
in it.
Rosemary was very interesting and
certainly knew her herbs and spices.
She was thanked by President Eileen
Baxter.
A recipe using any of these was won by
Ali South, 2 Margareta Whiskin, 3
Sylvia Webber. Raffle winner was Janet
Jary.
WI members are to prepare and serve
refreshments at Leziate Village Fete on
Saturday 6 July.
The WI annual AGM national meeting is
in Cardiff. Lesley Haywood-Nudge from
Pentney is our delegate. The resolution
is the decline of high street shopping
and we all voted for this resolution. After
enjoying refreshments, the meeting
closed.
The members present enjoyed creating
a ceramic item of pottery. Frances
Morton from Hunstanton brought lots of
pieces to paint. Platters and tiles were
mostly chosen by members, as they
seemed easier. One member managed
to create her house name with a frog,
which she drew on a tile. All items were
taken back to the premises to be fired
and will be returned in the near future.
It was so interesting. Frances was very
helpful in the choice of colours and
designs used. Janet Eason arranged for
this project and she gave the vote of

Incinerator update
The County Council was meant to be
debating getting out of the incinerator
contract on 17 June. However, officers
did not allow all members to see the
contract. Instead, a press release was
issued suggesting it could cost over
80million to walk away. An officers
report said compensation would be due
to Cory Wheelabrator even if corruption
had occurred.
This prompts the questions: what other
surprises are still 'lurking' in the contract
and were any of the terms negotiated
favourable to Norfolk County Council?
Cabinet agreed a QC should examine
the contract and review the advice given
to the Council that led to it being signed.
It was also agreed that waste industry
experts would assess the potential
savings that could be made from
alternative waste treatments. These are
likely to be significant, because more
advanced waste treatments are both
cheaper and more efficient. Cory
Wheelabrator's technology was 'state of
the art' in Germany and America around
20 years ago. Things have moved on
and expensive marketing does not make
up for having an out of date product.
On 10 June 2013, Cabinet approved in
full recommendations which included
having independent waste industry
experts prepare a Waste Management
report looking at what can be saved by
using alternatives. It will be a good
opportunity for the new administration to
show it is better than the last.

Gayton Parish Council News
Meeting held 10 June 2013
Robert Webster and his brother attended
the meeting to give the councillors more
information on what sort of equipment
they, and others their age in the Parish,
would like to see on the playing field.
Robert had secured the names of
several people in the village who would
support the installation of skate/BMX
ramps and made a very convincing
argument to the Council that the
equipment would benefit the whole
Parish. The Clerk suggested that the
Council consider renting skate/BMX
ramps for the day so that residents can
see what they look like and how much
noise they generate. This was met with
general support and costings will be
investigated.
The Charity Commission has confirmed
that as custodian trustees, the Parish
Council has no powers or responsibilities
to maintain the Hall should there come a
time when there are no management
trustees in position. The current
management trustees can appoint the
Parish Council as trustees to run the
charity, but this could only be done
following a public meeting and the
current management trustees decision
to do so. The Council agreed that it
would do all it could to help support the
current trustees and that the Hall is a
valuable parish commodity that should
be maintained for as long as possible.
The Clerk reported that NCC has agreed
to cover the costs of the termination
documents so that the leased land can
be relinquished. It is a condition that
adequate fencing is installed between
the land owned by the Jubilee Hall Trust
and the leased land and is in place
within 6 months of vacancy. It was
th
Skate/MBX Ramps
Jubilee Hall
Termination of lease
agreed that this would be achievable as
a potential new tenant of the owned land
could install the fencing in lieu of rent.
It was noted that nearly all of the
volunteers for the new speedwatch team
have been successfully vetted. Mr Grant
has also toured the Parish, including
Gayton Thorpe, with the police to agree
on sites for where the speedwatch team
can operate. The team are now waiting
for a training date before operations can
commence.

meeting is planned to be on

they put in a fine performance.
The Year 4

We are very
proud that she
was able to
represent the school at this event.
We would also like to say a big thank
you to Ashwicken School who came to
Gayton for our first 'home' football match
in our new football kit.
It was a very enjoyable match with
plenty of parents to cheer the children
on. Even Goslings came along to
support the teams. Gayton Primary FC
were delighted to win . An excellent
team effort with plenty of chances on
both sides.
This term we have also been busy out
and about on our school trips. Banham
Zoo was a
fantastic day out
for the older
classes.
What strange
creatures are
these?
Otter and Badger classes opened their
own Roman Museum for the day.
Parents and children were invited to
taste Roman food, attack Roman
soldiers, play Roman board games,
watch the archeologists at work, learn
about Roman times using the computer
and look at the work the children had
completed this term.

Thursday 25
July, leaving
Gayton at 4pm,
returning from
Heacham South
Beach approx
6.30pm
We completed our story of what
happened to Jesus after he rose from
the dead by looking at the Bible account
of when the Holy Spirit first came upon
Jesus' followers.
The Holy Spirit came - and the Holy
Spirit is here to stay and can be with all
of us as our guide and comforter.
Sadly we had to say goodbye to
Margaret Howard who has played
keyboard for us (and done so much
more) since we began Messy Church in
September 2011. We wish her and
Rev'd William a very happy retirement.
Despite the sad farewell as usual we
had a great deal of fun with craft activity
and singing and food.
And the fun just goes on because in
July we have:
The cost of the beach trip will be 3.00
per person (adult or child) to include a
seat on the coach and a simple picnic.
th
The coach will leave from outside the
Social Club in Gayton (opposite the
school).
If you haven't yet booked your place
contact:
Rev'd Jane 01553 636227.
First come first served.
We take a break.
Messy Church wishes you all a happily
messy summer with lots of fun and
sunshine (hopefully!).
We look forward to seeing you all again
in September. In the meantime do join
us for our family services at St Nics.

Jane welcomed Gayton WI members
and guests from Terrington St Clement
and Leziate, Bawsey and Ashwicken
WIs to our 60 Anniversary of the
Queen's Coronation meeting.
The hall was decorated in a truly
patriotic style with members entering into
the spirit of the evening by dressing in
red, white and blue.
Entertainment was provided by Patsy
Rose who, through her guitar playing
and singing, took some of us back to our
youth. Her repertoire included the Twist,
the Music Man with all the actions and
Tina Turner's 'Simply the Best'. After a
break for a delicious buffet, supplied by
members, Patsy again took to the floor
and, with a little encouragement, so did
several members; joining in with the
Hokey Cokey and a Conga, which was
great to see.
The raffle was won by Margaret, Molly
from Terrington, Deirdre, Florence, Ann
and Marguerite from Leziate. The
competition for 'a rose' was won by
Penny A, 2 Sandra and 3 Jane.
It really was a lovely celebration

Gayton Road Fisheries was established
in 1991 by Chris and Lynda Newell. We
have developed a quiet and relaxing
enclosed 10 acre site with three superb
fisheries containing English Carp, Tench
and Wels Catfish. Fishing is only
available to guests staying with us in
one of our lodges or in a caravan /
motorhome. In addition, there are
holiday lodge plots available.
Gayton Road Fisheries are also fisheries
managers of the nearby Nar Valley
Fisheries and Hobbs Lake Trout Fishery.
We specialise in fisheries management
and stock fish supplies. We can supply
Carp, Tench, Wels Catfish, Roach,
Rudd, and Bream. Stock management is
carried out using seine nets and electro
fishing techniques. We have also been
involved in the design of new lake
projects and fisheries management
plans. Indeed, many local fisheries have
benefitted from the involvement of
Gayton Road Fisheries.
Chris has been a committee member for
the Anglian region of the Institute of
Fisheries Management for 20 years. For

difficult day as the aches, pains and the
dreaded blisters started to take their toll.
After a grueling 36 miles and 13hrs
although hoping to reach Stiffkey, it was
decided to finish at Wells.
Day 3, 5am on another sunny day
Fresh legged Julian, Brad and I along
with Syrena Sheldrick joined the walk
weary but ever determined challengers
ready to start the final stage.
Starting from Wells we continued on the
Coastal Path keeping to the shoreline
passing through Stiffkey, Blakney, Cley-
next-the-Sea, Weybourne, and
Sheringham to finish at Cromer Pier 26
miles in 8hrs.
Here we were met by loud cheers and
clapping of friends and family who had
gathered at the finish. For those who
completed the entire three day challenge
they all agreed it was the hardest
challenge to date.
Well done to the amazing challengers
and driver who completed the entire
three day challenge.

Megan's Challenge News
Our challenge this year was to walk The
Peddars Way and Norfolk Coastal Route
(approx 93 miles) over three days from
24 to 26 May Our chosen charity for
this challenge is Nelson's Journey.
Nelson's Journey, based in Norwich,
helps children who need support when
someone close to them dies. They help
them find ways of coping with their
bereavement, enabling them to look
forward to a happy future.
www.nelsonsjourney.org.uk
Day 1, 7am on the Peddars Way at
Knettishall Heath.
After a heavy rainfall the previous night
the challengers Stephen, Jamie,
Simon, Emily-Jane, Clare Howard and
Helen were assured by the support
driver Dom 'Bonny Lad' McCallum there
would be no more rain. Within half an
hour of setting off the heavens opened,
so it was waterproofs on, hoods up and
heads down.
After 22 miles of wet tracks and muddy
footpaths they met Dom at Swaffham, a
chance to change socks and a hot drink.
The final 10 miles took them through
Castle Acre (linking with Nar Valley Way)
up to Great Massingham where the first
stage finished, 32 miles in 10 hours.
Day 2, 7am, on the Peddars Way at
Great Massingham
A sunny day as the challengers
continued towards Ringstead, then on to
Holme-next-the-Sea where the Peddars
Way finishes.
Here the challengers were picked up by
Dom and taken to Hunstanton to join the
North Coast Path walking east to Wells.
On route at Brancaster church Julian
Howard joined the challengers and they
became seven. This was to be a very

Megs Mini Challenge
On day 2 of Megan's challenge we
accompanied the main challengers as
far as Harpley Dams where we then
turned round and walked back to Great
Massingham. A total of 6 miles in 1hr
50mins. Well done to: PJ, Gabbie and
Maddie Eggleton, Olivia Stevens and
Helen Reed with Daisy and myself.
My work colleagues at Gayton Goslings
Day Care Centre and I did our own
Megs Mini Challenge on Monday 20
May. Our group of 21 pre-school
children, 13 parents and staff followed a
route round Gayton village marked with
yellow butterflies, stopping part way for
a snack of butterfly biscuits. We walked
2.62 miles in 1hr 25mins and raised
493 which they have donated to
Nelsons Journey. Well done and a big
thank you to everyone who took part.
th
The total amount raised for Nelsons
Journey so far is approximately 3,120
(to be confirmed).
A big thank you to Dom McCallum who
was the most amazing support driver
without whom we couldn't of done it,
also to Community Bus Service for
providing the big yellow bus, a most
welcome sight at each stop. Thank you
to Richard at V&J Knitwear for providing
the challenge tee-shirts. Also many
many thanks to all those who continually
support us and those who have donated
so generously.
