Outside Adventure for Horning Primary School Pupils
In the week prior to half term, Year 4 children from Horning Primary School joined pupils from four other schools in the Coastal Together Federation for a ‘big adventure' Together with students from Cantley Primary, Freethorpe Primary, Mundesley Junior and Bacton Primary, they took part in a residential course at Hilltop Outdoor Activity Centre in Sheringham
Hilltop, located in 26 acres of woodland on the North Norfolk coast, holds a Learning Outside the Classroom badge and offers an exciting range of outdoor activities to schools, businesses and family groups With its modern and comfortable accommodation within its grounds, it is the ideal place to introduce children to new experiences.
During their stay, the pupils immersed themselves in a wide range of stimulating activities, including climbing, mountain biking, archery, crate stacking, a high rope assault course and the ‘Big Zipper' zip wire. David Hopkins, Deputy Executive Head of Bacton and Horning Primary Schools commented: "One of the aims of our schools is to widen pupils' horizons. For some of the children, it was their first experience of staying away from home without their parents, and that in itself was an achievement for them
"Many of the activities they took part in over the course of the stay were challenging, and it was great to see children from across the Federation's schools joining together and using their communications and problemsolving skills to overcome a range of challenges It was a fantastic experience and a great many good memories were made "

Wherry Charity Launches 2023 Programme of Norfolk Broads Sailings
Bookings are now being taken to sail on the Norfolk Broads this summer in a traditional Edwardian passenger wherry Only eight of these elegant vessels are still in existence - five of which have been restored and are maintained and operated by the Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust
Income generated from their just-published programme of scheduled sailings and bespoke charters helps preserve the historic wherries for the future while allowing current generations to enjoy the unique experience of sailing in them
Day trips are available on various dates between May 5th and September 30th, setting off from a number of Broadland locations including Wroxham, Stalham, Ludham, How Hill and Dilham Some sailings stop at local nature reserves and tourist attractions while others include lunch or supper
In addition to the scheduled trips, up to 12 people can charter a wherry for the day or a longer period of time for a family gathering, special occasion or event - with refreshments provided if required Each wherry has a fully trained skipper and crew who are all volunteer members of Wherry Yacht Charter.
Behind the scenes more volunteers help maintain the wherries, take part in fundraising activities and undertake administrative roles
To view the 2023 sailing programme, make a booking or to find out more about Wherry Yacht Charter and how to become a volunteer or Friend of the charity log on to www.wherryyachtcharter.org
North Walsham Parkrun
On Saturday 4th February, North Walsham parkrun celebrated its 1st Birthday & 50th run, 109 people of all ages ran, jogged and walked the course dressed in milestone red
In the last year 1590 runners have taken part, with 146 volunteers - it has truly become an invaluable community hub for many in the town, a place to catch up on a Saturday morning and feel part of
Nathan McCann was our first finisher with a time of 18 46 Perhaps due to the lure of birthday cake at the finish we had 23 recorded new Personal Bests you all deserve a shout out so here goes! Well done to Melvyn Porter, Ely Young, Paul Rogers, Ian Moreland, Matthew Dyke, Keith Dyke, Nathan Austin, Shane Smith, Steve Williams, Christine Hack, William Bean, Marion Bensley, Hattie Swain, Mark Raymer, Alison Jordison, Oliver Rowe, Nina O’Brian, Helen Ashdown, Graham Vann, Aurora Neenan, Tracy Church, Lauren Smalley & Paula Faiers
We had a special milestone today for Run Director Richard Stratton achieving his 100th volunteer milestone Further congratulations to
Hattie Swain on your 25th parkrun!
In the last year we have had visitors from all over the country and even from abroad, it’s always great to meet new people and hear about the various parkrun challenges they are completing We have had had wedding parties, even some runners dressed as centurions
Today we were also joined by local MP Duncan Baker MP with his daughter Ellie taking part in her very first parkrun!
The event was made possible by 25 volunteers: Jenny Welsh
Speaking to volunteer co-ordinator Annette Stratton she said ‘parkrun is a place where you can feel proud to be part the movement that strives to help people become fitter and healthier Many of the volunteers have never run themselves and have found their mental health has improved significantly through volunteering We need around 25 volunteers each week to keep parkrun going with roles such as marshalling, timekeeping, tokens, barcode scanning and all training is given, if you would like to volunteer, please get in touch via email northwalsham@parkrun.com’
