Chairman’s Chat
AGM, ‘highs’ and events
In case you have not seen the special ‘Chat’ I issued with the AGM agenda, in which I thanked all officers, captains, coaches and committee members of the Club for all their hard work during the past few months, you might like to see the following – I hope so!
Overlooking a few painful ‘lows’ I select below some of the ‘highs’ the Club has enjoyed during the last twelve months – listed in no particular order. An impressive list – if I may say so!

In The Mood
A picnic in a delightful setting followed by a musical trip down Memory Lane – what better way can there be to enjoy a summer’s afternoon?!
So please bring your picnic and be entertained by the evocative music of Timescape at this open air event being organised by Harleston Lions, Scouts and Magpies Hockey Club on Sunday 13 July 2008 at Bone Hill, Rouse’s Lane off Low Road, Starston, IP20 9NT
Gates open at 3.30pm with the live musical entertainment commencing at 4.30pm.
Since their formation in 2004 Timescape have played at many venues and events throughout Norfolk and beyond performing the memorable songs and music of Vera Lynn, Glenn Miller, Anne Shelton and many others. A most enjoyable afternoon is assured. Why not come in a uniform or civilian dress to help recapture the spirit of the 40s? You will be very welcome. Please bring your relatives and friends for a really enjoyable summer’s afternoon.
