Be alert to crime and keep your home secure
We are fortunate to live in an area with very low rates of crime. Nevertheless, in recent months there have been a number of reported burglaries in and around the Breckland area, including in South Lopham. As recently as the evening of Friday 24 March 2017 a resident on Thetford road reported a man loitering and acting suspiciously behind the property. When challenged he ran away in the direction of Garboldisham.
All residents are reminded to ensure that your home is secure and to be aware of anyone acting suspiciously. If you have cause for concern contact Norfolk Police on 999 if a crime is in progress, or 101 for non-emergencies.

Diss U3A November meeting
At the November meeting of Diss U3A, Tony Diamond gave us a humorous talk entitled “The Six Wives of Henry VIII”. This is a familiar historical topic, but his delivery was unusual and the illustrations were amusing. He even successfully encouraged the audience to participate in singing popular songs of the day, including, finally, Greensleeves. He presented each of the wives in a sympathetic way, but regarded Henry VIII as a tyrant, determined to ensure the succession of the Tudors.
The next meeting of Diss U3A will be on Thursday 1st December 10.30 am in the United Reform Church, Diss. The guest speaker will be Sally Cummings whose talk will be: Women Can Fly. Refreshments will be served before the meeting.
For further information on Diss U3A please visit the website: www.dissu3a.org.uk

Lophams’ Society Christmas Drop-in Friday 16 December 2016
On Friday the 16th December the Lophams’ Society will be hosting it’s pre-Christmas get-together in the Village Hall between 6.30pm and 8.30pm. This is a FREE event and all residents of the Lophams’ both past and present are invited to come along and join us in raising a glass of Christmas cheer. As well as mulled wine and soft drinks there will be a selection of finger food including French bread and cheese, biscuits, mince pies and festive nibbles. Many of those who attended last year’s drop-in were complimentary about the new-style get-together and we hope that this year’s event will be just as enjoyable. So if you haven’t been before or haven’t “dropped-in” for a couple of years please come along and join us for a drink, a nibble and a catch-up and help get the festive season underway.
