Look back at when hundreds enjoyed rock music at harvest fayre in 2002 and other snapshots from years gone by

In our weekly All Our Yesterdays feature we look back at village events in the month of September over the years…September 2010: Members of the Ouse Washes Molly Dancers, who met on alternate weeks in Wimbotsham and Swaffham, are pictured at their free workshop held at Downham Methodist Church. The aim was to encourage new members.

September 2010: Connie Smart, of Wormegay (centre) took her fundraising total to £5,000 with this donation of £1,000 to the breast cancer unit at Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The money was raised through selling plants at car boot sales to help the unit where her daughter had been treated. Connie was joined by her granddaughters Emma Bates (left) and Zoe Bates (right) and the cheque was received by breast care sisters Marie Robins and Elaine Rudd.

September 2002: This was the official opening of a new office for Juliette Daniel, manager at Dersingham’s Hanover Court sheltered housing accommodation. It had been added to the common room at the complex. Daisy Hudson, one of the original residents from 1981 cuts the ribbon, watched by, from left, councillor George Pratt, North West Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham, Hanover’s area manager Vicky Gallagher and Juliette Daniel.
