LETTERS &
MESSAGES
Don Davis
Don Davis died on 12th July
aged 90.
He came to Foxley in 1949,
working for his brother Norman at Moor Farm.
He and his wife Gwen were
staunch Chapel people and attended services regularly.
He outlived Gwen by almost
five years and managed to look after himself very well, until age and ill
health overcame him.
He was a man of strong principles
and beliefs. I admired him as a friend and neighbour, often sitting
and chatting with him, listening to tales of when he was a boy. He
had an outstanding memory for somebody of his age.
I’m going to miss him a
lot, as I’m sure other people will.

Billy Dobbs of Bawdeswell
died on 2nd August 2004.
Over 80 family, friends
and acquaintances attended his funeral at All Saints Church in Bawdeswell
on 9th August.
The service was conducted
by the Rector, the Revd David Head and Billy was laid to rest in the Churchyard
extension in Norwich Road.
Billy will be missed a lot.

The Steven Williamson
Memorial Trophy 2004.
Another new name on the
trophy – this year’s winners are Lyng Utd FC. We also broke the record
for money raised £598.76 this year making a grand total of £2,564.76
for the Children’s Hospital since the competition started. The player
of the year was Jason Greves of Foulsham FC. Many thanks to all who
helped with the arrangements and everybody who supported us.
See you next year.

Christian Aid
I received a letter to thank
all those who filled the tax slip in on their envelopes, 94 people did
this. When the tax is claimed the total of £279.41 will be from our
6 parishes. Over a million was raised for Christian Aid in this way last
year and it looks like it will be more this year. A record £15
million has been raised this year so a very big thank you once again.
