North Norfolk's Christmas Market
8th November
10am to 3pm
The Friends of Fakenham High School and College are this year organising a Christmas
Market to be held at the School in Field Lane, Fakenham. There is limited free parking
available and the entrance to the Christmas Market is also free.
There will be over fifty stalls selling homemade desserts and puddings, decoupage cards,
confectionery, jewellery and even hand painted eggs. Plus a raffle for a flat screen TV.
This should be a great time out for all and a chance to buy some slightly different
Christmas presents.
All the profits from this event go towards the school and college and therefore helping
our local children. So please come and join us for this great event. |
GIFTS FROM TWO LOCAL COMPANIES ADD FINISHING
TOUCH TO 84 YEAR OLD TRAIN
Generous gifts from two specialist Norfolk companies have provided a very visible
finishing touch for the historic teak-bodied Quad-Art carriages on the Poppy Line.
The traditional advertisement displays above the seats in every compartment have been
restored with wood for the frames from Tim Collin Hardwoods of Wroxham, and 174 pieces of
cut-to-size toughened glass from Trend Marine Products of Catfield.
The M&GN Joint Railway Society's Nigel Scarlett said: "At a conservative
valuation, these gifts have saved us more than £1,500 - and allowed us to complete the
restoration of the carriages much more quickly than we expected."
Innes Mitchell, Operations Director of Trend Marine Products, said: "One of our
staff, Andrew Bennett, is a volunteer on the North Norfolk Railway, and when he told us
about the project, we were delighted to be able to help."
And Tim Collin commented: "I have been able to help the Railway in the past with
specialist hardwoods like teak. They're doing a great job with their historic vehicles,
and I'm very pleased to support them."
One more thing remains to be done before the train described by the National Railway
Museum as "the most important piece of heritage rolling stock in the country" is
finally complete. The shaded gold figure 3 (for Third Class) on each compartment door and
the stock numbers on each carriage will be applied at the Railway's Weybourne workshops
during October. |
