Cley W.I.
The last meeting before the Summer break took place on 1st July, and it proved to be a most enjoyable afternoon. Pat Willis was due to have been the speaker at our January meeting, but this had to be postponed because of bad weather and Pat's illness., but we had lovely weather in July, Pat's health had recovered and our Rug Workshop was a great success. A number of guests attended, attracted by the subject, and members worked at their samples with great enthusiasm. Tackling a new craft is always a challenge, but Pat's expertise was inspiring and everyone present wanted the afternoon to last much longer. The vote of thanks and applause were a reflection of the audience's appreciation of a splendid afternoon.
Our next meeting will be on 2nd September, the speaker Tim Harrison of Creake Garden Centre, with his subject "Late Colour in the Garden". He has promised to bring some plants with him which members can buy if they wish.
Before this, we shall have our trip to Norwich on Thursday, 29th July. We meet at Cley Village Hall at 10 a.m. , and expect to return about 5 pm. after an enjoyable day including a river cruise, a visit to the Cathedral and, for some, a tour of Norwich by charabanc. I suspect many will have an interesting tale to relate on their return.

Norfolk Churches Trust Cycle Ride
Here I am reminding you all again this month, about the cycle ride on Saturday 1 Ith September. I now have the sponsor forms for those of you who fancy Cycling or Walking to raise money for your church; you can collect them from me or from the church. I am also asking for volunteers to man the church as recorders for an hour between 9am & 5pm. If you are interested and would like to help me out, please call me. Thank you.

Village Hall Report and Update
Our next major event is the FUN DAY on SUNDAY 29th AUGUST, starting at 10am and running to mid-afternoon. We very much hope the sunshine will last and we will be outside - but should it be wet we will be in the Village Hall and we promise a great selection of things of interest! Gerald is busily arranging to transport his magnificent bar-be.que to the Hall (and it does sound fantastic). There will be stalls and games, try your hand at carpet bowls, a HUGE tombola; something for everyone. So don't miss this FUN DAY Bring the family!
Tickets for the Hallowe'en Hog Roast will be available in September (strictly limited to 100) - so do keep this date free, and remember the Christmas Fair on 27th November. Come and join us for these most enjoyable annual events!
Last, but certainly not least, you all know of the wonderful efforts made by Tony Blount on the sponsored cycle ride. Sponsorship is still coming in and to date he had raised the magnificent total of just over £800 for the Village Hall and almost £300 for the British Heart Foundation. Thank you again Tony! It is a wonderful help.
