The recent road works have given us all a chance to see how the quality of life is improved without speeding traffic so why not take this opportunity to try to avoid there being an accident one day 
 
Barbara North is calling for volunteers for her revival of the Speed Awareness scheme. She has some willing volunteers but would welcome more. Barbara can be seen most days walking round the village with her dogs. She is very concerned about the speeds of some drivers entering and leaving the village.
 
It’s only an hour a week to volunteer. Full training will be given. Our Parish Clerk has experience of other parishes where the scheme has received a shot in the arm and they now, at the behest of the Police Commissioner, receive monthly reports on the effort expended and the number of vehicles checked and the number who have been written to by the police.
 
The data from the Sam2 camera has shown that although many drivers obey the limits through the village, about 10% are speeding and we need to try to reach them to encourage them to reduce their speed through our village.

The new clock was unveiled at the Coffee Morning, 18/03/17.

The plaque reads "In fond memory of Sheila Jenkinson, a great stalwart of this hall."

If you are using the Village Hall and hunting for the heater switches, please avoid switching off the defibrillator power. Malcolm Newstead who maintains our defibrillator tells me that not only will the battery be run down but the low temperatures can damage the pads.
I have put a note on the switch to identify it. I am of an age where this is part altruistic and part self-preservation. :-)

Unfortunately there will not be a bonfire and fireworks display in Langham this year. Here are the details of the Blakeney event on 23rd October. A bit early but constrained by the tides.
