60th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service CD
The Thanksgiving Service held in Norwich Cathedral was a memorable occasion and a recording of the Service is now available on CD. Perhaps you were there and would like a souvenir of the occasion, or perhaps you were unable to attend and would like to hear how it went. If you would like a copy, the cost is £5 and cheques should be made payable to Wymondham College and sent to Jackie Glenn, Wymondham College, Wymondham, Norfolk NR18 9SZ.
Justin Fashanu
A British journalist and writer, who is based in Canada, is currently writing a book on Justin Fashanu. The book is a positive look at Justin's life and will be published by a British publisher next year. The writer is looking to speak to anyone who knew Betty and Alf Jackson, or the young Fashanu boys back in the sixties or seventies when they were growing up in Shropham, Norfolk. Apparently Betty Jackson was a part-time music teacher at Wymondham College - maybe you were taught by her, or perhaps you remember spending time with either Justin or his brother John whilst they were waiting for their Mother to finish teaching? If you can help then please email the writer, Nick Baker, at the following email address: nick@makebelievemedia.com
