All Our Yesterdays: Village faces and places

September 2009: This group of former pupils from Terrington St Clement Secondary Modern School met up for the first time in 45 years.

The party was held at South Wootton Village Hall and among those present was their former PE teacher Mrs Lennen.

September 2000: Children from the Sunday School enjoy a trip by horse and cart as the harvest festival procession makes its way to St Mary’s church, Snettisham, in glorious sunshine. The Bishop of Lynn, the Right Rev Tony Foottit, was the guest of honour and joined the procession in full regalia.

September 2010: A Wild West night was organised to raise funds for a new charity, Southery’s Wish, helping food causes in the area. Aaron Barrett, 16, tried his hand on the rodeo bull, one of the attractions at the event which was held on the village playing field, raising around £380.

September 2010: Eight-year-old Connor Forshaw (pictured with one of his posters) put fun back on the agenda at the end of the summer holidays for his friends of the Westfields Estate and surrounding roads in Tilney St Lawrence. He promoted a special fun afternoon, organised all the games and activities – and it was voted a tremendous success.
