Welcome to the Acle Village Website

Within this site, I have tried to supply as much information as possible, about Acle. This includes - Parish Council, Clubs, local groups and organisations, Acle Business Directory, medical services, educational and village services . Also is a up-to-date list of all events planned for the village for 2008 as well as results of all played Acle United matches.

Additional allotments made available in Acle - see this webpage for additional information.

Looking for a special (and locally produced) Christmas present or stocking filler? - the Acle Archive Group are selling their 2009 calendar (£5.90 and available from the Chocolate Box, The Street) with all profits going to help support the Acle Archive group. Chosen scenes in the calendar are from the past and present and it will no doubt be a talking point for those sending/receiving a copy. Limited stock available.

I don't know if you knew this .... but Acle and Upton has two trained Territorial Army soliders who are both serving abroad next year with their regiment The Royal Anglian's - so it's a great time to wish them luck and I know they've been training hard. As such, Help for Heroes are raising money for these soliders, most of which have served in operational theatres such as Iraq and Afghanistan. A 10 mile endurance run is to take place during 2009 along side two British Territorial Army solider's who live in Acle and Upton. Please visit our site for more info -- http://www.endurance-run.co.uk or contact Christopher Bell, 0321bell@armymail.mod.uk.

Norfolk County Council Childrens Services have launched a new web based service -- "Things To Do" -- its a database full of activities in Norfolk for young people in the 13-19 ish age range. It's free to search for activities and free to put activities on. If your activity or club welcomes young people please make sure you are listed. The activity might normally be attended by adults but must be open to young people. So; camera clubs, flower arranging, dog training, hiking, reading groups and yoga can all go on together with the skate parks, martial arts and youth clubs. You can put restrictions on e.g. a scalextric club says "under 16's must bring an adult". If you are a young person please make sure we have listed the activities you like. It might be a café or a club or something completely different. To search for "Things To Do" go to www.norfolkblurb.co.uk/thingstodo or see the flyer.
