Modern Jive class from 8.30 to 9.30pm 

Unfortunately, the “Ballroom and Latin” beginner classes at 7:30pm Monday evenings will need to pause for the next couple of weeks, while some people are away, resuming on Monday 6th August at 7.30pm.  The Modern Jive class at 8:30pm will continue unaffected.  Both classes would be happy to see more participants.

With increasing costs, we are currently exploring the idea of setting up a ‘Friends of Flordon Church’ group to ensure that St Michael's can continue to serve the current wider community and future generations. If you are interested in offering support to a Friends group, or if you would like to feed in your thoughts and ideas before we make decisions, we would love to meet you this evening at St Michael’s Church for an introductory meeting to explore our options.

Thanks to Joann and Margaret for organising this.

All parishioners are welcome to attend our annual meeting, where we hear reports from the chairman and treasurer, and appoint committee members and officers.  We'll also be considering the merging of the Flordon Community Group with the Flordon Community Trust.

What was it like here 100 years ago? 500 years ago? 1000 years ago? Was the church spun out of Wymondham Abbey in the early 1100s? How old is the Thorn? Is the mound near the Thorn a tumulus? Was the original village of Hethel in the field to the east of the Church? What did the farmland look like before the airfield was built in 1943? And after?

Last summer, a group of final year UEA history students surveyed and researched the landscape of Hethel. And wrote dissertations. On September 10 and 11 (10am to 5pm) there will be an exhibition of their work in Hethel Church, which looks at some of the questions above. Some of the now-graduates will be around to discuss their findings with you, and, if you like, take you on a guided tour of the ground. Timings on our website www.acny.org.uk/hethel. Drinks, cake and light lunches will be on sale (but the rest is free!).
389 Bomb Group Memorial Exhibition is also open for HODs – about 10 minutes walk from the church. You can see maps of the airfield as it was, numerous artefacts, and the amazing mural of Christ on the cross.

Two of the area’s best-known entertainers again join forces. Well known writer,
broadcaster and mardler Keith Skipper
shares the platform with Ian Prettyman, a former teacher, still busy
as local Methodist preacher, and popular
purveyor of traditional East Anglian songs.
Keith will do most of the talking, sharing favourite yarns from
Church and Chapel as well as a bible reading in his beloved Norfolk dialect.
Ian will provide musical items -
including a rousing medley on his trusty melodeon.
