Sheringham & District Branch, The Royal British Legion

The Sheringham Branch of the Royal British Legion held its Annual Dinner at the Dunstable Arms, Cromer Road, Sheringham on Friday 30th March. We were pleased to host 36 members, wives and friends at this new venue. To use the old saying the tables really did "groan with the amount food upon them." What was of great satisfaction to me sitting beside Mrs.Bunty Farrow the Social secretary and main organiser of this and many other events, was the general "bonne homie" that was coming up from each and every table as the occupants chatted so freely among themselves, which indicated to me and many others, the satisfaction with the excellent food supplied by Craig at the Dunstable and the cosiness of the venue. Many Members have contacted me, to favourably comment upon the the quality and quantity of the food supplied, all seemed so relaxed, something that I have not seen in many a long year.  Les Collings carried out his smooth raffle; to earn the Branch a little money to be able to continue to help to with the work of the Branch.  On a more sober note please be good enough to remember that should you know of any of our less fortunate comrades that are in need of help, let Paul Clarke 01263 588840 or Tom O'Mara 01263 513179 know so that they can deal with their needs if they possibly can. Meetings the first Monday of the Month at 7.30pm except May, August and December at the Dunstable Arms, Cromer Road, new members always welcome. Please remember that you do not have to be ex-service to join the branch, so if you would like to help the ex-service community, please come along.  Tom Pyne, Chairman, Sheringham Branch Royal British Legion

BREAK CHARITY WANTS TO GIVE YOU £100!!

A locally based Norfolk charity has turned the art of fundraising on its head and is looking for 100 individuals, entrepreneurs or groups to give £100 to! The 100 Day Challenge starts from 1st May and BREAK is looking for ‘Challengers’ to take part from now! The winner of the challenge will receive £1,000 prize money to spend as they wish (sponsored by Lloyds TSB).
Alan Leedham, Fundraising Manager said, “It sounds very controversial that we, as a charity, are giving out money to the general public, but we are going into this Challenge with the aim of getting far more than just the £100 back from competitors – in fact whoever raises the most money will walk away with £1,000 prize money, sponsored by Lloyds TSB, to spend as they wish! We will be staying in close contact with all of our Challengers; ensuring that they are keeping motivated and enjoying what they do, whilst making sure that they are not doing anything that would be considered detrimental! We hope that this challenge will capture people’s imaginations – we have made some suggestions about what people could do with their £100, from buying garden or car washing equipment, ingredients for cakes or dinner parties. These are just a few of what could be an endless supply of ideas. So if you’ve had a burning desire to try out a venture and want a way to give it a go and make a difference, this could be your chance. All the funds raised from the 100 Day Challenge will go towards supporting our special care services, in particular our supported holidays and respite care for people with disabilities. The strain of caring for a loved one with disabilities doesn’t go away, in fact it lasts a lifetime. By taking part you will be supporting the on-going work of BREAK and ensuring that our services also last a lifetime too." To take part please call Alan Leedham, Fundraising Manager on 01263 820711 or email alan.l@break-charity.org.
