From Father Phil
RUTH – a biblical heroine for all seasons
At February’s MESSY CHURCH we explored the story of Ruth which crosses racial
boundaries and speaks powerfully of love, loyalty, courage and great compassion. It is a
beautifully energetic short story that explores the virtues of unwavering love and devotion
that can come from tragedy and grief.
Driven from their home in Bethlehem (Israel) because of a severe famine, Naomi, her
husband and two sons walk the fifty miles to the land of Moab (today Jordan). They are
foreigners in a somewhat hostile environment. They settle for a while and astonishingly the
sons marry local Moabite women – one of whom is Ruth. Such inter-racial marriages,
particularly with men and women from countries usually hostile to each other, were viewed
as an act of treachery against God.
Tragedy strikes the family. The three men die. With news of the famine ending in Israel, the
widow Naomi, now vulnerable with no man to provide for her, decides to return to
Bethlehem. Ruth, now also a widow herself, cannot bear to be parted from her mother-inlaw and so decides to accompany her.
Ruth’s loyal determination and her unswerving faith and trust in God despite the tragedy
of the past and her uncertain future living in a foreign land underlines God’s generosity, love
and care for all his people regardless of their race.
God weaves his influence through our lives if we but let him. God teaches us through the story
of Ruth that neighbourly love, lasting and trusting friendship are at the centre of the relationship
that God would want us to have one to another. Ruth’s trust in God is awe-inspiring.
*******************
Talking of good neighbourliness I was truly grateful and somewhat moved by the impressive
number of concerned parishioners who attended a village meeting in West Beckham church
on Friday 10th February. We had sent out a plea for support for the running of the St Helen
& All Saints at the beginning of a new era and to best secure the building for future
generations. We were in urgent need of support for the worship and mission through a revitalised Church Council and support for the formation of a ‘Friends of East with West
Beckham Church’ – a charity that would raise monies for the fabric of our Victorian building.
I am really pleased to say that from this village meeting we now have additional members
for the Church Council including offers to be Churchwardens and Fabric Officer. A good
number of parishioners want to form a Friends’ group. Essentially all want to support the
life of the church as a key facility for worship and for the community.
Thank you all so much.
With every blessing.

HOW TO RUN YOUR NOTICE BOARD
The Rectory,
James the Least.
My dear Nephew Darren,
Your decision to place a notice board outside your Church seems a
good one and its design in blue plastic with luminous red detachable letters seems entirely
in keeping with the aesthetics of your building. Make sure that it is lockable, however, as an
innocent notice saying “all are welcome” may be modified by a devotee of anagrams to say
something far less polite by the following day.
We recently replaced our notice board which had disappeared shortly before last bonfire night.
That the Scout’s bonfire had a board which closely resembled our old one in its centre was, I
am sure, complete coincidence. The Venture Scouts’ collective smirk during the following
week’s Parade Service did give one pause for thought, and the Cubs’ collapse into helpless
laughter at the chorus “So light up the fire and let the flames burn” only increased suspicion.
On reflection, you may not have been wise to use your notice board to tell everyone of your
holiday dates. Certainly, various local burglars were tripping over each other inside the
Vicarage while you were away. However, the note the last one left, saying that next time he
broke in, he would bring you something, since you had so little left, was quite touching.
Inevitably, now that your Church has a notice board, there will be open warfare over who is
allowed to display notices in it. Will the Slimmers’ Club be seen as biblical? Why is the
Ladies Guild notice twice as large as all the others? And do remember that while everyone
will want space to display their notices, no one will ever remove them once the event is over.
Here’s the best way to manage a notice board! Create that panacea for all problems, a subcommittee. Such committees only exist to get we clergy out of tight corners and make sure
that matters referred to the sub-committee are discussed at such inordinate length that every
issue eventually dies a natural death. And even if that fails, you could have a quiet word
with our Scouts before next year’s bonfire night.
Your Loving Uncle,
Eustace.

Out and about with Fred
January was a mild month but windy at times and with a rainfall of 1.11 inches which was not
as much as we needed following a very dry 2011. The total rainfall in Weybourne for 2011 was
just 16.8 inches instead of 20 plus which is usual.
On the 3rd of January I went down to the beach on a windy morning when there was a
tremendous downpour with gusts of wind which the weather station said had reached 64mph.
I was soaked to the skin and walked back home to change. The only birds I saw for my trouble
were a few gulls though I did see a male blackcap in the garden.
Most birders begin to make a new-year list of birds seen from the 1st of January. Being a Sunday
my list had to begin from the window as there are not many birds to be seen in Church; I
managed just 15 species. Many birders having seen the American western sandpiper at Cley in
December rushed back on New Year’s Day to get it on their new list. I had tried three times in
December and then twice in January before we were in the same place. I had seen one in
America some years ago but had better views then. I doubt if this bird will get back home again.
Kelling water meadow had a small group of pinkfooted geese for the first week while the flock
of wigeon numbered one to two hundred. While watching them one morning, a fox strolled past
them along the water’s edge, the ducks a few feet away kept pace with him; they knew they
were out of reach, as he did. Other duck numbers were small with up to 20 teal, 10 shoveler, 2
shelduck, 5 gadwall and just one mallard. Waders came in small numbers with snipe, redshank,
lapwing, golden plover, ruff, black-tailed godwit, dunlin, and small groups of curlew.
A snow bunting by Weybourne beach was the only one I saw; they are scarce this year. On the
corner of the camp, a pair of stonechats were perched on a small clump of brambles when a
tractor came over and slashed them to the ground. The camp once had a lot of scrub and
bramble where stonechats, whitethroats, dunnocks, linnets etc. nested but is now turning into
bare grass.
The bird event of the month was the large numbers of redpolls which arrived. They have been
on my feeders all month, while a friend at Kelling had a large flock in his garden including two
of the very white streaked arctic redpolls which attracted a lot of people. He kindly invited a
few friends in to watch them from the window where we had excellent views. Later I saw one
of them in Kelling school garden with the lesser redpolls in the Italian alder trees, also two
siskins and a goldcrest. The Italian alder (alnus cordata) is different from our common alder
(alnus glutinosa) in that it has leaves resembling a pear tree and that the seed cones are much
larger, but are still good food.
The only moths seen this month were three specimens of the chestnut which flew up the
window, but there will be more to come.

WEYBOURNE - HARRY DAWSON PLAYING FIELD FUND
We note from the last Link-Up the sad closure of the Bodham Bingo Club and the HDPF
committee send our best wishes to all those involved over the past 20 years and praise
their efforts raising funds for their local community projects, including the Bodham
Playing Field. We are making every effort to keep our monthly bingo sessions alive raising
funds for our Playing Field here in Weybourne and if any Bodham bingo enthusiasts wish
to join us they would be made most welcome.
Our thanks to Peggy Dawson for another donation of £100 to our funds. We have many
extra expenses to cover this year and all donations are most appreciated including prizes
for our bingo and raffles. Thanks also to residents who regularly donate prizes and
purchase raffle tickets even though unable to attend bingo sessions.
Our January session was very well attended despite bad weather and we were delighted
to see many new first time players. Due to restrictions on grant application this year we
will continue maintaining the existing slide and make further safety alterations.
The next HDPF Bingo session is on March 30th and future dates for your diary include
April 27th. Weybourne Village Hall, doors open 7 pm, prize and cash bingo 7.30 to 9 pm
with roll-over jackpot, raffle, lucky draw and refreshments available. Children must be
accompanied by a responsible adult please. All profits to the HDPF for maintenance of the
Playing Field and its equipment to benefit all local families and visitors.
Thea Rowling (Chairman) & Jon Rowling (Secretary)
WEYBOURNE WI
Despite being a bitterly cold afternoon, over 40 Members and two guests turned out for
our February meeting. The business included choosing a local charity to support during
2012 with nominations from one member for Admiral Nurses who help sufferers of
dementia and their families; and another for the Norfolk & Norwich Association for the
Blind. A vote will be taken next month.
Certificates and awards were presented to our Competition Winners for 2011; Sylvia
Clemow received the Members’ Shield and Sheila Watson won the Judges Trophy. Our
Interest Groups are again gathering pace with Scrabble, Walking and Theatre being most
popular. Our President reported that a long standing member, having been away from her
home in respite care for some time, has been put in touch with a concerned friend from
another part of the country through links with the Norfolk Federation Office thus
reinforcing the WI’s deserved reputation for help and friendship.
We donned our dancing shoes to enjoy Scottish Dancing with our Member Barbara
Robson who has a weekly group based at Cley Village Hall. We were led through
traditional dances including the aptly named Ceilidh Madness and Fiona’s Wish named after
a disabled girl who loved to dance. Barbara ended with a sprightly demonstration of
Strathspey and our exertions were rewarded with a welcome cup of tea.

seen before. Inspired by the original staging by Hal Prince and Gillian Lynne, this lavish,
fully-staged production set in the sumptuous Victorian splendour of London’s legendary
Royal Albert Hall features a cast and orchestra of over 200, plus some very special guest
appearances.
On April 11th we will be showing the recent release Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy – details will
follow in next month’s edition.
There are a number of events coming up this year which we hope to show, on our BIG

Further information will be published when details are available.

Oh dear !
QUOTATIONS FROM HOSPITAL CHARTS:
The patient refused autopsy.
The patient had no previous history of suicides.
The patient has left white blood cells at another hospital.
The patient has been depressed since she began to see me in 1993.
On the second day, the knee was better, and on the third day it disappeared.
Discharge status: Alive but without permission.
She is numb from her toes down.
Occasional, constant, infrequent headaches.
THE TOUR GUIDE:
On a cruise to Alaska, I saw my very first glacier in the magnificent Inside Passage. Excitedly,
I asked a ship’s officer what the glacier was called.
“It’s some dumb glacier,” he replied.
Disappointed by his apparent attitude, I bought a map to figure it out by myself and found
the name of the ice mass. It was called, just as the officer had said, “Sumdum Glacier.”
SHOPPING FOR TURKEYS:
It was Christmas Eve in the market place and a woman was anxiously picking over the last
few remaining turkeys in the hope of finding a larger one. In desperation, she called over a
market trader and said, “Excuse me, do these turkeys get any bigger?” He replied, “No
madam, they’re all dead.”
HOW ARE YOU COPING?:
My friend’s wife left him last Thursday; she said she was going out for a pint of milk, but
didn’t come back. I asked him how he was coping and he replied, “Not bad, I’ve been using
that powdered stuff.”
A BREAKDOWN:
I was driving to work this morning when I saw an AA van parked in a lay bye. The driver
was sobbing uncontrollably and I thought to myself, “That guy is heading for a breakdown,”
THE MUMMY TEST:
I was out walking with my four-year old daughter. She picked up something from the
ground and was about to put it in her mouth when I took it away from her and asked her not
to do it.
“Why?” my daughter asked. “Because its been on the ground, you don’t know where its
been, its dirty and probably is covered with germs,” I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me in total admiration and asked “Mummy, how do
you know all this stuff? You are so smart.”
I replied, “All mums know these things; its part of the Mummy Test. You have to know these
things or they won’t let you be a Mummy.”
We walked along in silence for two or three minutes as she pondered these pearls of wisdom.
Eventually she said, ”Oh, I get it. If you don’t pass the test, you have to be a Daddy.”
“Exactly” I replied with a bid smile on my face.

SPECIAL MEETING:
It was great to see such a good turnout for our meeting in church. The Rector set out his idea
for forming a group to help with the administration and running of St Helens; as a result, a
number of people have said they are willing to undertake various responsibilities in support of
the PCC. It’s a huge relief to know there is this good will and interest in the continuation of a
church to serve the needs of the people of East and West Beckham. I write this on the evening
of our meeting (10th Feb - deadline for March Link-up copy) so more detail next month.
GARDEN OPEN:
Chestnut Farm will be open on two occasions this month - Thursday 1st and Sunday 4th.
The proceeds from the sale of refreshments come to the Church; all donations of cakes
gratefully received.
MANY THANKS:
Many thanks to Simon Wakeford who has made such a grand job of replacing the wooden
window-sill destroyed by the fire; he has even “distressed” it, so it looks as good as old! A
specialist fire damage repair firm has started on the work of cleaning the flints, which we
expect to be completed soon.
WIND DAMAGE:
High winds over the Christmas period caused damage to the roof on the north side and so
repairs on that are due to begin shortly. Trevor Watkins of Thompson/Watkins is to
undertake the work.
THE WHEATSHEAF:
The Wheatsheaf is now under new management. Locally born Matt Lock has taken over
and we wish him well for the future.
ELECTIONS:
Electoral Services have requested the use of the church as a polling station and we have
agreed to this.
MESSY CHURCH:
Messy Church is on Wednesday 14th from 3.30-6pm at Weybourne Village Hall. Children of
all ages with parents/carers welcome for activities and a hot meal.

OUT REACH GIVING:
At the PCC Meeting held on the 6th February, our Treasurer reported that the total giving for
2011 from special collections and disaster appeals amounted to £753. This is a tremendous
amount and we sincerely thank all who gave so generously at the various times.
LENT APPEAL:
This year’s collection will unite with the Diocesan Appeal for help to women in Papua New
Guinea. If you would consider supporting this worthwhile cause, a Lent Box is available from
Mrs. Ann Digby (588409).
WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER:
Our United Service will take place at 2pm on Friday, 2nd March in Bodham Village Hall. This Service
has been prepared by the women of Malaysia, and our speaker will be Father Phil. Everyone, male
or female, is welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be provided at the end of the Service.
SPRING BAZAAR ON SATURDAY 10th MARCH AT 2pm:
The Spring Bazaar will be held in Bodham Village Hall. There will be a variety of stalls – cakes,
Tombola, raffle, bric-a- brac etc. If you are able to help in any way or donate an item for the
stalls, please contact Ann Digby (588409). Good bric-a-brac items are being collected by Jean
Brown (588565). Your support will be very much appreciated, even if it’s only to pop in for a
“cuppa and a chat”.
MOTHERING SUNDAY SERVICE:
This year, the Service will be held in Bodham Village Hall at 9.45am on Sunday 18th March. This
is a United Service and everyone is welcome. It would be nice if children can attend to help with
giving a “posy” to their and other Mums. There will be light refreshments at the end of the Service.
BODHAM HOUSE GROUP:
See Church News on Page 2 for the Group’s Lenten meetings in March.
THE HIGHS AND THE LOWS OF BODHAM CHURCH:
The year began with the Church looking really good especially with the new changes at the
back of the building. However, two serious incidents have now overtaken us. Over the
weekend of the 21st and 22nd of January, thieves broke in and removed much of the brass
metal in the Church. In doing so, they did considerable damage to the West Door. Needless to
say, this caused us considerable heartache. Parishioners were very supportive and a collection
was made in the Village Shop and another parishioner gave us a substantial sum. Our thanks
to all who contributed to our funds and, also, to those who supported us in this difficult period.
To add to our problems, the snows at the beginning of February when melting caused
difficulties with the Church roof and, at the time of writing, a great deal of water has leaked
into the Church on its south side. It is not clear how this will turn out but we shall comment
further about this in our next issue.

EASTER LILIES:
Would those who wish to commemorate a loved one with a lily at Easter, April 8th , please give
their donation to Sarah in good time with, of course, the name(s) to be added to the list in Church.
MEMORIAL BOOK:
Alan Boardman made us a fine cabinet and it has been duly dedicated with a list of the departed,
a list because it is in loose-leaf form, (two pages for each month), being designed (after much
discussion) so that names can be easily added. We are also grateful to Rodney at Photographers
Gallery for his endless efforts (at no cost) to get the right result. All the initial costs have been met
by a gift from Frances Chenevix Trench in memory of her parents who did so much for the Church.
In future, we would hope for a small donation for each additional name to defray the cost.
MID-WEEK COMMUNION:
We have a mid-week Holy Communion on Wednesday 21st March at 10am to remember Thomas
Cranmer who was martyred for his Anglican faith and who was the Father of our Book of
Common Prayer which we use almost exclusively at Kelling for our Services.
TRAIDCRAFT NEWS.
Traidcraft have still to issue their annual report for 2011 but we are delighted to inform
you of another good trading year in the Weybourne Group with sales in excess of £1,268,
although this is down on the 2010 figure. Christmas cards again sold very well.
Traidcraft like any other organisation is subject to increases in commodity prices and this is
reflected in a slight rise in the cost of both coffee and sugar, two of our more popular lines,
but we hope you will bear with us and will continue to enjoy these alongside our other
best-sellers - chocolate, sweets, and biscuits.
The new catalogue will soon be available in each church. We are always happy to obtain
goods from the catalogue bearing in mind that free delivery applies only to a minimum
order value (usually £100) but do still ask.You will remember that last year we sold ‘Real’
Easter eggs. We have again taken delivery of a dozen which we are pleased to offer at
£3.75 each instead of £3.99. Please contact us with your requirements.
Please continue to support Traidcraft and do please come along to our ‘Big Brew’ at
Weybourne Church on March 3rd, which is our event celebrating ‘Fairtrade Fortnight’.
Traidcraft supports overseas growers, producers and their families and our sales benefit
our churches.
Many thanks for your support.

Friends of Salthouse Church’. She was also involved with Glaven Caring and, of late, had been
an enthusiastic supporter of the monthly "Coffee and Gossip" meetings in the Village Hall. She
was a loyal and supportive lady with an excellent sense of humour, and she will be greatly missed
by all in the village who knew her and by her friends in North Norfolk and beyond.

JOYCE’S QUOTATION:
One of my favourite birthday cards I received in December had a beautiful view of Findhorn
Bay in Scotland at sunset. But the words on the front I thought should be shared. They make
you think.
Life….

But by the moments that take our breath away.

CHURCHES’ TOGETHER - THE FRIENDSHIP CLUB:
Despite very inclement weather, intrepid members gathered at Rose Jerome’s home to enjoy

Roland Riddell will present an illustrated talk about his remarkable nature photographs.
LETS FACE IT - ENGLISH IS A CRAZY LANGUAGE.
English is indeed an interesting language, and some would say crazy. For instance, there is
no egg in an egg-plant, nor ham in a hamburger; nor is there apple or pine in a pineapple.
English muffins weren’t invented in England and nor were French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are sweets whilst sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take our language for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand
can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig comes neither from Guinea nor
is it a pig.
If teachers taught, why don’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does
a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play, play at a recital or ship by
truck and send cargo by ship or have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim
chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the uniqueness of a language in which your house can burn up as it
burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off after
its been switched on. English was invented by people, not computers and it reflects the
creativity of the human race which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the
stars are out, they are visible but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

CANDLEMAS:
Once again the Kelling Consort led us in this beautiful, reflective service which brings to a
close the seasons of Christmas and Epiphany. It is a time to remember with joy the coming
of the Christ Child as a babe at Bethlehem, and the arrival of the Magi to worship at his crib
in the stable. With music, hymns, songs and readings, the Choir set the atmosphere for a
peaceful and reflective time in which to leave the Babe with his parents and look forward to
the Man, his Ministry and the Promise of Easter as we move into Lent and contemplate the
Cross and Resurrection. Our grateful thanks go to – Rev’d Angela, The Kelling Consort of

BISHOP JONATHAN’S LENTEN JOURNEY AROUND THE LYNN AREA:
On a bicycling journey across 9 days and 9 deaneries, the Bishop of Lynn hopes to pass

meet people and share in an event in each deanery. He hopes to boost giving to this year’s
Diocesan Lent Project – The Strongim Meri Appeal in Papua New Guinea. On Thursday
1st March he will Preside at the mid week Eucharist at Upper Sheringham at 11.15 am (note
the later time) and will license the Reverend Frank as Assistant Priest in the Weybourne
Group of Parishes. Afterwards a light lunch will be served before the Bishop moves on to
his next port of call. Please join us for this important occasion.
OBSERVATIONS:
With her marriage, the bride got a new name and a dress.
When a clock is hungry, it goes back four seconds.
When she saw her first strands of grey hair, she thought she’d dye.
Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis.
No matter how much you push the envelope, it will still be stationery.
