Kevin's annual Video Presentation night is on Friday 14th November at the Village Hall, starting at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are £7 to include interval snacks, with profits to the Village Hall.

This year's program will be in the usual format and covering his second India tour (which was entitled 'Hill Stations of the Himalayas') and Norway, principally the fjords of the south west, as well as Bergen. Beautiful scenery!

Tickets are available from Kevin - tel. 890098, but we need final numbers by Sunday 9th November in order to finalise the catering.

There are some sessions when the hall is not being used. The Committee would like suggestions of activities that could be held, or if villager would like to run an activity themselves. This could be a one off training session such as First aid for humans or even pets, or an ongoing activity such as Tai Chi or a painting group.
We welcome your suggestions

Following on from our very successful and popular Hainford history film night, our local historian Sarah Mees has been digging deep into local archives

“In 1983 the BBC compiled a series of radio broadcasts called Norfolk Village voice and one was in Hainford. Locals were interviewed and can be listened to at the Norfolk record office. One interviewee was the headmistress of Hainford lower school and included in the broadcast was a musical interlude by the pupils age 5 to 8 years old. Accompanied by piano they played recorders and sing a song about something dancing in the garden. Were you at the Hainford school in May 1983? And did you take part? Do you know which song it was? Wouldn’t it be fun to re-create that musical Interlude?”

The Village Hall Committee would like to thank all the organisers of the Hainford 5k and Family Fun Run/Walk , volunteers, supporters, families and runners that made Sunday such a success.

Thank you.

Family Fun Run and Walk A fantastic entry of 40 people made a wonderful sight as the smiles and enthusiasm carried them round the course. There was warm applause and enthusiastic cheering from spectators. Each young person received a medal at the end of the run/walk, presented by Iona Lake. This was normally topped off with an ice cream from Bellawoo. Such happy and rightly proud faces!
1st Girl – Libby Crisp

2nd Girl – Isobel Tinsdale

1st Boy – Charlie Foley-Wray

2nd Boy – Finley Michael-Aguado

5k. Great spirit and determination was displayed by all the participants as they made their way round the course in warm sunshine. The first Female Resident of Hainford to finish was Eloise Edridge in 24:08 and her dad, Darren Edridge was the first Male Resident in 22:48. Great success for the Family.

What a fantastic event today in perfect weather. We had been concerned about the impact of Run Norwich on our event. It was unfortunate that Run Norwich changed their date and so it clashed with ours, so our 5k numbers were down by a half on last year, but the Fun Run number of entrants had doubled. However, we all enjoyed a great community event . It was lovely to welcome Claire and helpers from Coffee Cafe and Richard from Bellawoo icecreams.

Volunteers and marshals . Many, many thanks to each and every one of you for your contribution to the success of the event. It really wouldn't work without you!

Our helpers and Marshals 2025 were :- Andrea Loudoun; John Gladwell; Shirley and Aubrey Ampleford; Sarah, Mike, Kieran and Callum Haskell; Sarah Mees; Carol Monk; Martin Rhodes; Carolyne Liston; Carol Futter; Mandy, Matthew and Georgina Lake; Tina Taylor; Anne Pointer; Di Fraser; Kevin Saggers; Karen Mace; Corin Germany; Mandy and Greg Stone; Judith Lincoln; Irene and Trevor Stannard; Ann and Tony Dosser; Sue Fuller.

Our team of marshals and helpers were brilliant and so reliable. Well done and thank you ! Everyone carried out their role with enthusiasm and great spirit. It showed our community at its very best. Thank you also to those who stayed behind at the end to help with the clearing up.

The participants from all over the county enjoyed the course - set by our Run Directors Iona Lake and Mick Liston - thank you both.

Enormous thanks also go to Hugh McGill for masterminding the entry and result system.

Our 5k Race Numbers this year were sponsored by local businessman, Graham Loudoun - GL Lifts. Many thanks for your support, Graham.

Our eye catching poster was produced by local businessman, Joe Bedington - thank you,

The full list of results and the photographs taken by Kevin Saggers will be on Hainford 5k FB and a report of the event will go to our community magazine . Profits from the day will go to Hainford Village Hall.

Best wishes,

Carolyn Atherton
on behalf of Iona Lake, Mick Liston and Hugh McGill.

From 8.30 am, Coffee Club Norfolk will be serving coffees, breakfast / lunch baps throughout the event.

What's not to like! .
