Say Yes! to faster broadband for Norfolk

Loading .... do you have slow broadband?

As part of the Norfolk County Council led BDUK plan Norfolk has secured a significant amount of funding from the Government to install the infrastructure required to improve broadband speeds and access across Norfolk. We now need to attract competitive bids from telecoms providers to install the actual infrastructure, but before we do we need individuals and businesses in Norfolk to register their interest so we can show the demand for better broadband.

The more demand we demonstrate the more attractive the proposal becomes to telecom providers, this will maximise their investment allowing us to get the best value from the public funding spreading superfast broadband to more of Norfolk.

VALENTINE'S SUPPER by Jan Sumpter

On 11th February, a bitterly cold night, 40 people piled into the warmth of a Fersfield home to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Having battled their way through the ice and snow their reward on arrival was a glass of pink fizz, which preceded a three-course dinner charmingly served by men seductively attired in aprons.

The whole evening was love-themed and games between courses included Film and TV trivia, various quizzes and love stories compiled and related by the dinner guests.

The evening was another charity event hosted by Fersfield Friends and raised over £200 for Chapel Road Special School, Attleborough. Thanks to everyone for your support.

Elizabeth Blaterh - the Disturbing Sotry of a Bressingham Ghost being performed by Bressingham Drama Group

HELP for HEROES and COMBAT STRESS will be the recipients of the proceeds of the above unique experience. This drama has been written by Jon Young who lives in Bressingham. He has collaborated with the Drama Group and other willing helpers who will enable him to bring this very “interesting” piece of work to the Bressingham Stage. It should prove to be a night out with a difference, so book your tickets at the village shop or contact the above numbers. Let’s make this a very successful event for these two worthy causes.
