We must have a Sorry to nag (Toni is used to it!) but treasurer. we do need a Vice Chairman and 4 THE MERRY MAWKIN Summer Autumn 2019 FOND call to arms along the anniversary trail By founder-chairman Keith Skipper s we wait for strains of the Anniversary Waltz Ato send us into a lather of joyous celebration and proud reminiscing, let me be a party pooper – and call for a spell of serious reflection about our future. It will be FOND’s 20th birthday in October. We have much to cheer since first facing the challenge of putting our dialect fight on an official footing. We have overcome many obstacles with typical Norfolk fortitude and humour. As founder-chairman elected at that determined gathering in Yaxham Village Hall in 1999, I wrote in my diary: “A day for celebration. A day I hope future generations will salute with gratitude”. Well, now it’s time for a fresh crop of enthusiasts to step forward and help keep the FOND flame burning brightly. As members of the old guard stand down after loyal and valuable service, it is so important to find willing and worthy successors. Yes, there’s a lot of bread-and-butter work to go with cream-bun treats like treading the panto boards, spreading dialect dew delights across the area and heading for wireless and television studios to preach the true Norfolk gospel. Committee work can be tedious, sorting out material for the Merry Mawkin an exercise in sheer persistence, sending out reminders of when and where to meet just a prelude to lining up seats and tables and then stacking them away. Even so, old-fashioned voluntary spirit is an essential part of The FOND success story so far. And it will be just as important in years to come. All kinds of people are needed to do all sorts of jobs wrapped in a team crusade to preserve and promote a vital strand of our cultural heritage. In paying tribute to those who have tackled FOND roles over two highly eventful decades, I appeal to the “fringe brigade” to step out of the shadows and to get more involved. Vacant posts will need filling at the annual meeting in November. Find out more if you’d like to be part of a bold future. Right, that’s my boring bit over. Now, take your partners for the Anniversary Waltz. Best feet forward for FOND! Summer Autumn 2019 THE MERRY MAWKIN 5 More of Queen Bess in Norridge RALPH WOODS ou will recall that 441 years ago in August of 1578, she did indeed visit our Fine YCity. She was not an enthusiastic traveller but had come up through Essex and Suffook for the one visit she made to Nawfook and Norridge. Reports of the time tell us that while in Suffook there were “such sumptuous feastings and banquets as seldom in any part of the world have been seen before”.
