North Elmham Charity Shoot
This year has been a great year for new money raising ideas for our Charity of E.A.C.H. This year saw the 1st Annual Shoot which was hosted by Marshall Drew. With a total of 10 Guns and 15 beaters, we managed to raise £260 for our Charity. Discussions to move the date forward for next year have been put forward to many get a bigger bird count. I am safe to say that everyone had a great day which was followed up by a pint and buffet at The Railway Tavern.

Annual Hypno night doesn't disappoint
North Elmham YFC held their 3rd annual Hypno Experience night on the 4th January 2012. With record numbers through the door it was set to be a top night. In total NEYFC, with the help of everyone who attending, managed to raise just shy of £400 for our chosen charity, E.A.C.H. This brings our total for the year to just below £2000. Keep up the good work guys

Elmham does Movember.
Movember is only around the corner and a few of the lads from North Elmham YFC are planning to take part. Movember is the month where men around the world grow a Moustache to raise money and awareness for Prostate and Testicular cancer. I have set up a North Elmham YFC Team, which you can join. If you want to take part, please go to http://uk.movember.com/register/ and register, then you can search for the North Elmham YFC page and add yourself. It would be great to support such a great cause and also grow some fantastic facial hair! Cheers

Summer Break
Hey guys, and welcome back to the 2011/2012 YFC year. After such a great result at The Rally, North Elmham has not stopped over the summer break. We have had many Charity fund raising events with the Human Fruit Machine, 4 or 5 Pub meetings and the Committee have been working hard to get everything into place for the New Year. We also have a New Members Evening on the 5th October, where we hope to bring in some new members, along with all the new faces which have been popping up over the last few months. Some of our meetings to come include a Norwich Ghost Walk with Acle YFC, Bonfire Night and Snow Tubing at the Norwich Ski Slope, fun for all! Hope to see you in the next few weeks : D.

Rally 2011 Report
The first thing i would like to say is Thank you to everybody who took part with Rally and Rally prep on the Friday. All the help was great and it certainly made some parts easier for me. Also, everybody should be very proud with all their efforts with exhibits, sports and all things we competed in on the day. I saw some great exhibits which looked like a lot of time and effort had been put into them. North Elmham came 2nd in this year’s Rally out of 12 clubs, which i am over the moon with. Both Wymondam and ourselves were many points ahead of the rest of the clubs, so all to do now is to beat, and knock Wymondham off top spot. I later found out that on Rally day itself; we were only ONE point behind Wymondham, proving we need to push hard at Pre Rally next year. Not only did we show strength at the Rally, but we were a Sea of Orange at the Rally Social the following weekend, by far out numbering any other club! I even remember our Rally Chairman saying to me "I see too much Orange for my liking", well played team ; ). The feeling of everyone being part of a team, working together was outstanding and exactly what North Elmham tries to push at every possible moment. I hope all of you, like myself, cannot wait until next year to try and win that all important cup. Well done to everyone! Competitions Secretary - Ned Vincent

The Big Screen
Our meeting last night was a trip to Martin's HiFi in Norwich, and although many of you will think that this is a shop and won't be very interesting, you missed out on a good night! Banging sound systems and home cinema screens were tried and tested by us and we came to the conclusion that if we all won the lottery, we would have spent it all last night. The 3D glasses were brilliant, but did make you look a little silly (we have photographic evidence!) For all those that missed out, I hope to see you next week for more fun.

Bend it like....... Jenness?
On Sunday the 27th, North Elmham put in 3 teams for the 5-A-Side Football. I am very pleased to say that our Mens B team came 6th, and our Mens A team came in 4th place out of 8 teams. The Ladies also did very well, coming 2nd out of 4 teams. We had a great turn out of about 25 and I felt all got stuck in whether it was on or off the pitch! Id like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along.

1, 2, 3 and.... Sleep sleep sleep!
On Wednesday the 5th January, The Hypnotic Experience Show went live at the Memorial Hall and was a total success once again. In total we made 455 pounds for The Big C Appeal. Steve Marshall showed us his hypnotic skills to over 135 people and I think everyone had a good giggle at the brave souls who decided to get on stage and get involved. Both the Bar and Raffle went down well too. Thank you to everyone who has helped out with Raffle prizes, organising and helping out on the night. Special thanks to Jimmy Brown and Laura Gould for doing all the foot work with ticket sales etc. Watch this space for North Elmham's next Charity event.

What a night! A bus full of North Elmham members headed off to the County Dinner Dance on Saturday night and I think its safe to say we all had a super night. We had a huge club photo taken which i will try and get up on the site soon, but it was a great turn out by us, and we were by far the biggest club there :D.

Senior Quiz Results
Thank you very much to the team who came on Thursday night to the first round of the Senior Quiz. Unfortunately we came 7th and will not be progressing to the next round. All 12 clubs competed and only the first 6 teams would go through. Derehm, North Walsham, Harleston, Watton/Attleborough, Wymondham and Diss were the clever 6 teams to make it through, and we were only 5 points behind Diss. Better luck next time Elmham! : )
