Standing in the heart of Norfolk’s undulating fields, Bircham Windmill now looks as it did over 100 years ago. At that time over 300 mills ground corn for horse and cattle feed and bread-making in Norfolk. Today, very few windmills are left, and Bircham Mill is considered one of the best still remaining: it is the only windmill in working order in the area open to the public. Visitors can climb the five floors up to the fan stage and, when possible, on windy days, visitors can also see the sails and the milling machinery turning. There are also many items of interest to see in the tearooms, bakery and grounds. Our cycle hire business is long established and very popular. We have bikes to suit all the family, including burley trailers, tag alongs, child seats, tandems and all sizes of bicycles from small – five year-olds to large adult frames. As well as suitable bikes each customer receives a fully described route and map for their length of hire, helmets if required and the reassurance of a back-up service if problems are experienced. Our routes go along quiet back roads through the pretty Norfolk countryside and range from a short hour cycle to a pub lunch to a full day out. A new range of walk routes has been produced for this season and are available to buy from the mill. The walks range from a short village walk to longer rambles exploring the beautiful Norfolk countryside. Bircham Windmill is a perfect point to start a ramble with free parking, toilets and tea room. Open from 31st March to 30th September 2010 from 10am – 5pm. See website for prices and further information.

The Army Cadet Force is a National Voluntary Youth Organisation. It is sponsored by the Army and provides challenging military, adventurous, and community activities. Its aim is to inspire young people to achieve success in life with a spirit of service to the Queen, their country and their local community, and to develop in them the qualities required of a good citizen. This aim is achieved by: a) Providing progressive cadet training, often of a challenging and exciting nature, to foster confidence, self reliance, initiative, loyalty and a sense of service to other people. b) Encouraging the development of personal powers of practical leadership and the ability to work successfully as a member of a team. c) Stimulating an interest in the Army, its achievements, skills and values. d) Advising and preparing those considering a career in the Services or with the Reserve Forces. In the Army Cadet Force you’ll have the time of your life – mastering fieldcraft and first aid, playing a wide variety of sports, learning to shoot, taking part in adventure training including climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, helping out in the community and much more. Plus there is the annual two week camp – always the highlight of the year – and the opportunity for overseas travel.

A Toy Symphony for all the family – Saturday 4th at 3pm

In August we had Bhangra dancing and drumming which set the Corn Hall alight. Now September is starting in just as exciting a fashion! In the Old Stables Gallery the Waveney Springs Art Collective exhibit their work all month, bringing with them recommendations from such famous art figures as Brian Sewell!
On Saturday 4th September, come and listen to the intriguing sounds of The Drones at 8pm. This London-based quartet has been heard at the Purcell Room, the Barbican and on Radios 3,4 and 5, and will be bringing to Diss their unique and original compositions played on a combination of cello, teapot, bouzouki, car parts, toys, clarinets and didgeridoos. Not to be missed!
For families, The Drones are also performing their spectacular Toy Symphony at 3pm on the 4th September. Using toys as instruments, the quartet move between haunting melodies and hilarity-inducing numbers whilst heliballoons and giant birds sweep through the air above! Children are encouraged to bring their own toy or instrument and get involved in this musical and visual extravaganza!
And, you can catch Oscar nominated ‘The Wrestler’ (15) on Thursday 9th at 8pm – a fantastic performance from Mickey Rourke. Tickets £4
Waveney Springs Private View – 4th September 6-7.45pm – Free (with pay bar)
The Drones – Toy Symphony – 4th September 3pm – All tickets £3
The Drones – Evening Performance – 4th September 8pm – Tickets £8 / Students £6

Black Ram’s Love’s Labours Rocked!
Black Ram Theatre Company’s hugely enjoyable production on Wednesday 25 August was a mix of Shakespeare and High School Musical – rather more Love’s Labours Rocked than Love’s Labour’s Lost.
Whereas the Branagh film used 1930s music, this production features pop songs from the 50s to Lady Gaga. A haunting line like ‘Did not I dance with you in Brabant once?’ falls oddly at the high school prom. You have to remind yourself that the popular blonde over there is the princess of France. But, after the initial raising of eyebrows, it works well. The story of the young men who abjure women for three years of study, until these girls turn up, is timeless.
One critic called the play ‘a feast of language’. The delete button accounts for chunks of it, with even the ‘greasy Joan’ epilogue being replaced by a Buddy-like finale. But what remains, like Berowne’s ‘And I, forsooth, in love!’ speech, is acted with relish. The masquerade of Muscovites, even when acted in leather jackets and shades, has something about it.
With no programme available I could not identify the actors; but was impressed by their commitment, speaking and singing. I could imagine William Shakespeare doing high fives in his grave.
