2004: A family of swimmers who kick-started a campaign to buy Snettisham watermill for the village boosted the fundraising.

Great grandmother Shelagh Matsell swam 500 metres at the CITB pool at Bircham Newton, joined by five members of her family and three schoolfriends, raising £575 for the fund.

2002: Dedicated scout leader John King, of Tilney St Lawrence, retired after 18 years with the 3rd Marshland group.

To mark the occasion, he was presented with an engraved photograph and a garden bench at the group’s annual review.

2002: Pupils, teachers and parents all took part in a fashion show organised by Flitcham Primary School’s Parent and Teacher Association.

Due to popular demand, it was extended to two nights and raised £1,000 for school funds.
