Runners-Up Again!

Today Hethersett came second for the second year running in the large villages/market towns section of the Norfolk Village Games. A good day at the UEA Sportspark. Once again Downham Market got the better of us. We were proud of coming second as all the other towns in our category have much larger populations and we are still a village.

For me the day ended a stunning run of village events that of course included the visit of the Olympic flame, the open weekend and many many more events.

Now we have to start our planning for next year in an attempt to become number one. Well done to everyone who took part and at least we won the badminton, the tennis and the junior five-a-side football. In the meantime perhaps time for a short rest!!!!

On TV news last night politicians and journalists were vying for cliched words. Politicians talked about rigour and scrutiny. Journalists weighed in with visibility and transparency .... yuck. Perhaps it's time for all of them to learn some new and more meaningful words.
