Our next
Heritage meeting will be held in the Village Hall on Monday 25th
March 7pm, everyone is welcome to attend we discuss our ongoing activities and
historically related subjects, if anyone has any suggestions please get in touch.
We have a
number of ongoing projects as well as new ones in the pipeline. We are working
on Transcribing the School log book for the years 1939 - 45, which we hope to
publish as a book, with related items and articles relevant to the time and
activities in the school, and would like to hear from anyone with memories of Carbrooke
school, or of wartime memories - first or second hand.
We are
planning a visit to the Watton Museum, on Wednesday 13th March 7pm, to
see how they went about setting up the Museum (in Wayland Hall), the display
items, and making arrangements for our some of our own items to be displayed in
a cabinet for a while and also to offer our help with transcribing items
relevant to Carbrooke.
On 11th
March at 2pm – and followed by refreshments, The Millenium Green will be
planting a tree in memory of Robert Buscall, who helped & promoted the
village and amenities, as well as being instrumental in saving the school from
closure.
Believe it
or not, the Millenium Green will be 20 years old next year, and the committee
are considering ways of marking the event.
Carbrooke Longevity
Carbrooke Heritage Group are hosting a
family reunion tea party on Saturday 27th April at 2pm.
The Smith family will be getting together over the weekend, Enid Clarke (Smith)
still lives in Carbrooke, as does younger brother Brian. Norah will be visiting
from the USA (an American war bride), and sister Betty from Scotland. Believe
it or not, all 3 sisters are in their 90's, with Brian aged 87.
Their mother ran Carbrooke Post Office for many years, during the 20th century, and the Smith family have been involved
in many Carbrooke activities over the years.
This will be quite an event considering the ages of
the siblings.
It would lovely to see lots of current or
past Carbrooke residents to this celebration, to take part in the reunion. We
hope to see you there.
Following on
from the success of the poppy production within the community, which were displayed
on the Church for the Remembrance commemorations, we are considering ways we
can work together to produce a lasting item of interest using the talents of
our community. One suggestion is to create a ‘Carbrooke Time Line’ incorporating, national/international and
local events illustrated by our residents using crafting, stitching,
woodworking and artistic skills. If anyone would like to get involved with this
please get in touch.
