NOVEMBER 2019

It is amazing that there are still so many local places that few of us know anything about. The Stalham Fire House Museum is one such. Built on a corner of Stalham churchyard it was one of the first independent fire stations, being built in 1833. Kaye MacKinnon told us about the history of the station and the formation and running of the museum; while her husband Mickie showed us some old photographs and pieces of equipment, as well as relating stories about his own time as a fireman in London. The Museum is open in the summer and entry is free – well worth a visit.

Our next meeting is the Christmas Party – 2 p.m. on Tuesday Dec. 10th. in Trunch Village Hall. £2 for members and £4 for visitors includes a special Christmas tea. All those attending are asked to bring a small wrapped gift for a new game.
