Friends of Catton Park-2012
The Friends' programme for 2012 kicked off with a very
enjoyable Quiz and Chips in the Church Hall. Competition was
fierce as we answered questions set by our quiz master Steve
Spawls. Many thanks to all who helped out at this very
enjoyable event - we will be holding one next January so
don't miss out!
On Monday 5 March the Friends will be holding their AGM in
the Church Hall. Tea or coffee will be available from 7:15pm
for a prompt start at 7:30pm. After the AGM Mr Ray Jones
from Old Catton Society will be giving a talk. All are
welcome to come along to this event which is free - although
only members may vote at the AGM.
On Saturday 7 April (Easter Weekend) the Easter Bunny will
be hiding eggs in the woods in Catton Park for our annual
Easter Egg Hunt. The Hunt will start in the picnic area at
10am. Tickets, which must be bought in advance please, are
£2 per child. Tickets are available from The Little House
Dental Surgery during practice hours (8am to 3:30pm Mon -
Wed & Fri; 1 - 7pm Thurs) at 75 Spixworth Road, telephone
415760. Tickets are also available from Karen on 423125 or
Liz on 409905. After the Hunt why not join us for a drink
and a bake - included in the children's ticket price, £1 per
adult. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please
leave your dogs at home - thank you!
The Friends will be having a display at the village Jubilee
celebrations on Monday 4 June. To mark the occasion we are
holding a photographic competition. The competition is open
to all (except members of the Friends Committee). There will
be a prize for under 16's and for 16 and over. Entry to the
competition is free. Photos must be of some aspect of the
Park but may have been taken at any time. To enter your
photo please post or hand deliver a print to Friends of
Catton Park (Photo Competition), 81 Spixworth Road, Norwich
NR6 7NQ to arrive by Saturday 19 May. Please enclose your
name, address, telephone number, email address and whether
you are under 16 or 16+ with your entry. The print does not
have to be high quality - if your photo is short listed we
will contact you and ask for a JPG version (or
a high quality print if you use film). The best photos will
be displayed on our stand at the Jubilee celebrations. We
may also post them to the website or use them in future
newsletters.
