The Bircham Centre in Reepham is looking for more volunteers to help in the charity shop. If you would like to support your local community and enjoy meeting people, why not help out in the shop for a few hours a month?
 
The shop is open from 9 am – 4 pm Mondays and Fridays, and 9 am – 1 pm Wednesdays and Saturdays.
 

In the centre of Catchback Lane a footpath runs off to the west to join the Marriott's Way (it is the one flooded in wet weather). Where the two paths join there was a stile in a fence approached by a flight of wooden steps. This has somehow been destroyed, with timbers standing up in the air, like debris from an explosion (as at 9 May 05.00). The county council has been informed.
 
Please take very great care if you wish to attempt to cross where the stile was, particularly if you are climbing the stair up from the footpath.
 

The next Reepham Business Network meeting will be held on Thursday 12 May at 07.30 for breakfast (bacon sandwich/coffee/tea - £6) at The Dial House, Market Place, Reepham. This special meeting will focus on whether the UK remains part of the EU, or not.
We already have a couple of people who will lead the debate for "staying", but we need one more person who believes we should leave.

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.
