Last night, North Walsham Phoenix Group was proud to host Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Sarah Taylor (pictured right), as part of the ongoing 25/29 Plan consultation.

The discussion centred around key concerns affecting local residents, especially speeding and antisocial behaviour—issues that continue to be raised across our community.

A huge thank you to North Walsham Town Council for their active support, particularly through the deployment of SAM-2 speed awareness cameras. Town Clerk Wendy (pictured left) is currently managing a list of priority areas for camera placement, helping ensure that community concerns are heard and acted upon.

We’re grateful to everyone who came along to contribute to this important conversation. Your voices are helping to shape a safer, stronger North Walsham.

😋 We love a good slow cooker meal—easy, affordable, and perfect for busy days. This month, we’re inviting you to share your favourite slow cooker recipe with us!

Whether it’s a family classic, a budget-friendly favourite, or something new you’ve just discovered, we’d love to hear about it. You might even inspire someone else to try something different!

🥫☕️ Pop in for a chat and a cuppa—our building is open 10am–4pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Let’s get cooking, the slow way! 🔥

😁 Why are we sharing a word of the month? Because learning something new—no matter how small—is always a win!

Our chosen word for September is extemporaneous

👉 [ek-stem-puh-RAY-nee-us]

adjective

spoken or done without preparation

It’s the perfect word to describe those moments when we speak from the heart or act on the fly—something many of us do more often than we realise!

If you’ve walked through our doors recently, you may have spotted something new on display—our Art of the Month!

While we missed posting about August’s selection online, we’re bringing it back into focus now. Last month, we featured the Pierre Bladelin Triptych by Rogier van der Weyden, a stunning example of Northern Renaissance religious painting. Created between 1445 and 1450, this piece is a masterclass in oil on panel, and currently resides in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, Germany.

We love how art opens up new conversations and invites reflection—even in unexpected places. Keep an eye out each month for our new pick displayed in the building… and shared here online too!

Thank you for all your support in August!

We enjoyed seeing you all!

Opening times are 10-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri
