NAHRG Event – Sat 26th July
Several weeks ago, I sent you details of our Norfolk Landscape History Day on Saturday 26 July. Bookings have gone very well but we could take a few more. However, we are now also offering the event live online on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. The cost will be £10.00 (per device, not per person).
To attend in person, please see the booking form previously provided (copy attached).
To watch online, first of all please email me to register
and then either pay £10.00 online; use the acronym NAHRG, sort code 54-21-06, account number 05147239; reference ‘zoom’ and your surname.
or post £10.00 in notes or a cheque payable to NAHRG to the address at the foot of this email, together with your name.
The programme and joining link will be emailed to you before the event.
Best wishes

Returned Home! – Lily the Cat
Lily has returned home. Below is an update from Ann, her owner on the 20th April.
I am absolutely delighted and relieved to tell you that Lily came home at about 10:30pm last night. She is extremely skinny and seems to have picked up a cold as she keeps sneezing but apart from that she’s fine.
I’ve no idea where she’s been but I’m sure it’s thanks to everyone sharing the information about her being missing on their Facebook pages and other social media platforms that she is home safely. So thank you Bryan, and to everyone who kept an eye open for her.
Lily’s tracker is now fully charged and securely fastened around her neck !
Thanks for your help
Ann (and Lily 😸)
