Forncett Big Litter Pick 2013 - Update

{artsexylightbox path="images/stories/Events/litter_pick_2013/" previewWidth="250" }{/artsexylightbox}

Update: May 11th 2013

We have just heard that Forncett has won one of the £250 prizes for participating in the Litter Pick.  The prize money must be used for 'The Community'.  Those who helped with the Litter Pick have been asked for ideas - the final decision will be made by the Parish Council as the Litter Pick was done 'in their name'.  The prize is an extra bonus - in addition to the benefits of a cleaner village and some excellent Community work!  Wonderful!

Saturday April 6th 2013

  • Sun shining (is this Spring?)
  • 21 Volunteers
  • 8 'routes' for picking, totalling approximately 14 miles of roads
  • 2 hours (average) time
  • 22 bulging bags of rubbish collected!

Congratulations to all volunteers who took part in our 'Big Litter Pick' - one of a number taking place throughout South Norfolk this Spring.  The photo shows 18 of the (mostly well-behaved!) volunteers at the Village Halll after depositing their bags of litter and enjoying some welcome refreshments provided by the Parish Council and served by Anne,

Forncett celebrates the Jubilee

And how we celebrated! It rained; it was cold; but if the Queen could stand it on that boat (sorry, barge) on the Thames, then who are we to grumble?

{module Banner} Painted by the children of Forncett School, this banner was the centre piece of the party at the school on Friday. All the children were dressed in their royal-most clothing, and there were six Busby-wearing gentlemen to guard the ‘Queen’ and her close family. Several of the children performed songs, dances and jokes to entertain and delight the parents, guests, teachers and staff.

Forncett Fete 2011

A BIG thank you to everyone for attending and helping with the fete.

Following the initial count of the takings at the fete, the fete has raised, after expenses, £1,654.68!  Obviously this may change slightly when counted again. A further £750 should also be added as part of Barclays donations to local charities.

WELL DONE to everyone

03.10.2026 10:00 - 12:00

Friends of St Peter’s was formed some years ago to try to restore the church to its former glory. To enable us to do this successfully we needed to organise a series of events to fund raise. The idea came for us to hold a market on the first Saturday of each month at Forncett Village Hall between 10am and 12 noon. We have been doing this now for a few years and have raised a considerable amount of money.

Our ‘markets’ are really bake sales. We have a team of talented bakers who produce an amazing array of bakes for us to sell at very reasonable prices. For example, I recently saw a slice of Victoria Sponge in M&S café for £3.75, we sell a whole cake for £5 or £6 for a larger one. We also have many savouries including quiches, sausage rolls, cheese scones and other cakes including chocolate, coffee and walnut, lemon drizzle, meringues and so on. At Christmas we take orders for Christmas cakes and puddings as well as producing many other seasonal treats.

As well as the bakes we sell many second-hand books and jigsaw puzzles and often have garden produce kindly donated for sale by our Friends.

If you haven’t been to a market, do come along and try us out. We always have a café open serving teas, coffees and some cake to keep you going. It is a great community hub and people get to know neighbours that they haven’t met before.
