Dear Parishioners,

DIAMOND JUBILEE

This Summer the nation will celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. A special Bank Holiday weekend has been proposed to mark the occasion. Many of you will recall the Gala Event held at the playing field for the Golden Jubilee in 2002 and, hoping to build on the success of that, the Parish Council has agreed to co-ordinate a similar event on Monday 4 June 2012.

We hope to be able to offer many attractions comparable to those that we enjoyed ten years ago, in particular the it's a Knockout competition.

As part of the borough wide Let’s Get Active 2012 campaign and Olympic celebrations, the West Norfolk Sports Council are arranging for the 1948 London Olympic Torch to be relayed around the borough and beyond on foot and cycle over the weekend 2-5 June 2012.

Emneth is on the route of the relay event and the parish council have been asked to nominate two torchbearers from the local community to carry the Torch on foot through the parish on the morning of Tuesday 5th June. Torchbearers need to be a minimum of fourteen years of age at the time of the event.

Please register your interest!

Norfolk has secured a significant amount of funding from the Government to install the infrastructure required to improve broadband speeds and access across Norfolk.

Next step..

We now need to attract competitive bids from telecoms providers to install the actual infrastructure, but before we do we need individuals and businesses in Norfolk to register their interest so we can show the demand for better broadband.

How?

There has been a lot of talk recently in the press and on TV about super fast broadband "coming soon" to 80% of the population (usually stating 2015 as the target date as this is when the government hope to have the "up to 2Mb" connection for every household in place - don't hold your breath on that one!).
