Social Club Committee Special General Meeting
The Yare Room at the Recreation Centre had standing room only for a  Special General Meeting of the Social Club Committee on Tuesday 10th January. There was often very heated discussion about the running of the Social Club, and although the agenda suggested that the meeting would discuss a proposed takeover of the Social Club by the Recreation Centre Committee, this proved not to be the case.  The Bowls Club confirmed that it had no interest in taking over the Social Club for it's own purposes. I have requested a copy of the minutes for publication on this site, but I understand from the Chairman that they will not be  immediately available (13/1/12).

Superfast broadband
Are you fed up with the so so slow broadband in your area? Well, it does not matter if you are a silver surfer, teenage gamer, or social networker, demonstrate your annoyance by expressing an interest in superfast broadband, which could be coming to this area soon. You will be committing yourself to absolutely nothing, but if you "Say Yes" to the campaign, you can play your part in helping Norfolk to finally get better broadband. The campaign is being run by Norfolk County Council and the EDP. Full details on the linked information sheet from Norfolk County Council.
