Pony stolen from Reepham field

A family is appealing for help in finding their pony who was taken from his field near Reepham, reports the Dereham Times.
 
Scrumpy, a little grey Shetland, was initially reported missing on Saturday 16 April, but is now believed to have been stolen from a paddock on Furze Lane.
 
The theft has been reported to the police and a reward is being offered for Scrumpy’s safe return or for information leading to a prosecution.
 

Town Council looking for new councillors

Reepham Town Council is looking for residents and local businesspeople to become a councillor.
 
This follows last night’s Town Council meeting, when it was revealed that three councillors have resigned since the March meeting.
 
Former District Councillor Chris Wheeler’s resignation last month after nine years on the Town Council was followed this week by Gary Saunders and Hayden Key, which leaves the local representative body with just seven councillors and five vacancies.

Reepham Craft Makers Market takes over

Sandy and Terry Nevard, who have organised the Reepham Arts and Crafts Fair for the past few years, have decided to move on to other ventures.
 
The new organisers, Sue Johnston and Gloria Davis, both of Reepham, have decided to rename the event the Reepham Craft Makers Market.
 
They hope to keep up the standard set by Sandy and Terry, with an emphasis on the quality of goods on display. At least 90% of all items on sale will be crafted or produced by the stallholders (or a close relative), with no “bought ins” to be sold on.
 

Medieval drink packs a punch at WI meeting

Just a few words about Rosie Wilkin, who dressed in her medieval cook’s outfit and had us in stitches at the February meeting of Reepham WI.
 
As well as explaining the origins of the word “pinny” and a couple of rude swear words (which I am unable to divulge), she passed round samples of Anglo-Saxon bread, meat pie and mead.
