URGES NOMINATIONS FOR QUEEN’S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE |
| To celebrate her Golden Jubilee, in 2002 the
Queen announced the creation of a new award for outstanding achievements by volunteer
groups. This award recognizes the vital role played by thousands of “unsung
heroes” in the voluntary and community world, and emphasises the importance of
acknowledging the value and extent of their contribution to our communities. Norman
Lamb, MP for North Norfolk, is urging local volunteer groups to seek nomination for the
Queen’s Awards for Voluntary Service 2005. Mr Lamb is very keen to support
nominations for groups of volunteers who give up their time to provide a high-quality
service within their local community. “Nomination forms can be obtained from my
constituency office in North Walsham”, said Mr Lamb today. “I would be delighted
to offer my support to local groups of volunteers who make a real difference to the North
Norfolk community. We all need to recognize the commitment and generosity of people who
give their time voluntarily to help and serve their communities.” Closing date
for nominations is Thursday 30 September 2004. Only groups (not individuals) can be
nominated. A group is 2 or more persons. The group must be wholly or
principally staffed by volunteers, and operate within the UK. A group cannot
nominate itself. For further details, or to check for eligibility, look on the
website: www.queensawardvoluntary.gov.uk |

CHARITY BEGINS AT SCHOOL.
Have any other parents of children at Sheringham High noticed how little cleaning and
decorating is carried out there i.e Mouldy windows in the Gym, Dirty torn curtains in
classrooms, Walls desperate for a lick of paint, not to mention the loos. What happens to
all the money raised? - (Mufti, no uniform days- caravan site fees- rooms for Functions
etc). Do we ever get a say on how our money is spent? Would you like to spend 5 days a
week in that Grim Building? Never mind they have a NEW SCHOOL ENTRANCE and an ASTRO TURF,
‘They should think themselves lucky’
Yours, A CONCERNED PARENT. |

| While I was preparing dinner one evening, my six-month-old
daughter, began to fuss in the next room, my four year old offered to go give her dummy.
After several minutes passed, I called to her, "Did you put the dummy in her
mouth?" She replied, "No, Mum. She likes my toe better!" |
