Annual dinner success - What a great occasion. Almost 120 members and guests of Stalham Farmers’ Club attended the annual dinner at the Salhouse Lodge. The guest speaker Hugh Pym, who is the BBC’s health editor, spoke of the challenges facing the NHS and also revealed that he supports Scotland’s rugby team. Wisely, he made just brief reference to England’s 31-20 defeat at Murrayfield in last month’s Calcutta Cup. He was loudly applauded for his speech and then presented the club’s awards and trophies.
