Terrington St Clement Parish Council

Terrington St Clement Parish Council is the local representative body for this large parish in West Norfolk, near to King’s Lynn and close to The Wash coastline.  It deals with planning and highways matters, community projects and other issues of local interest.  The Parish Council is a voice for the village at borough and county level.

This website aims to provide news and information for local people and for anyone living further afield with an interest in the area.  The site has been allowed to lapse in recent months- apologies for this- current information is being added again.

The new pavilion for the Memorial Field is now complete and in use by local sports clubs and other individuals and groups. As well as including modern changing, showering and toilet facilities and a kitchen, there is a Community Room available for hire by local groups and individuals- for details contact the website. The pavilion provided the venue for the Football Clubs’ presentation day on Sunday 4 July. On 12 August, the committee and Parish Council were proud to welcome former F1 racing driver and current BBC commentator Martin Brundle to officially open the pavilion. We hope to have pictures on the website soon. The next meeting of the Parish Coucil will be held in the Village Hall, Churchgateway (next to the High School) on Wednesday 20 October starting at 7.30pm. As usual there will be an opportunity at the start of the meeting for local residents to raise any issues of concern. The ‘Minutes’ page will be updated with copies of minutes of recent meetings of the Parish Council.

Terrington is to stage a village pantomime again this Christmas

This year it will be Aladdin and will be held in the Village Hall on 2, 3 and 4 December (7.00pm each evening, with an extra matinee performance on the Saturday at 2pm).

The cast has been selected- the list is on the Pantomime page of this website- and rehearsals are now well under way.  If you are interested in helping in other ways with the panto- making scenery or props, selling tickets, working back-stage etc- then we would still love to hear from you: contact Mark Wilson on 829161 or e-mail the website at the address below.

If you would like to buy tickets, please e-mail the address below or contact Mark Wilson on 829161.  Prices are £7 for adults, £4 for children under 16 and £20 for a family of 2 adults and 2 children.  Please note that both Saturday performances are now sold out and the Friday slot is also selling fast, so please book your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

To help raise funds for the Panto, there are monthly quiz nights at The Wildfowler pub.  To date these have been very successful, both in terms of funds raised and also as great nights out.  The next one is on 24 October (7 for 7.30pm); entry is £2 per person for teams of between 3 and 6 people and there will also be a raffle.

Proceeds from the Pantomime and other activities go to the Terrington Community Fund, constituted to provide wider community activities in the village and to meet the needs of indivdual local people where these cannot be met through normal state funding.  In its first year the TCF generated a surplus of £2843.  Some of this will be retained, to cover up-front expenses for the next Panto etc.

Since the year end, a rally around the coast of Scotland by 5 cars and 12 local people has raised in excess of £7000 for the fund.  Initially the rally was designed to raise £2000 to send Ellen Beckett, a local cerebral palsy sufferer, to a summer activity camp in Canada.  Having achieved that goal, the TCF is now able to support a range of other projects.  The TCF has also now donated a Wii console and controllers to the new Youth Club which started at the new Pavilion in June, and arranged afternoon teas and entertainment for residents of Terrington Lodge and Clement Court residential homes in July.  Grants have also been made to the village Brownies and to two local care facilities.

Further activities are planned for 2011- details to follow shortly.  For details of how to apply for funding, please e-mail the website (address below).
