Discover a “secret” in Breckland on Thursday, July 14.
A rare opportunity to tour the 22,000-acre training area at Stanford will be the final stop of a visit to a special part of Norfolk.
A farm visit is being organised by Stalham Farmers’ Club and the East Norfolk branch of the National Farmers’ Union to the intensive vegetable growing business of John & Melinda Raker’s Croxton Park, near Thetford. Their sons, Edward and Henry, will be our hosts for the afternoon programme.
The farm grows carrots, onions, potatoes and rye and also supplied willow to the 2012 London Olympics through their involvement with Salix. After tea at Croxton, members will drive to West Tofts for the visit to the Stanford training area at 5.30pm. There members will board a 57-seater luxury coach for the escorted tour of the training area. The “battle area” was cleared in mid-summer 1942 and about 700 villagers were compulsorily evicted from farms and five villagers for military training for the invasion of Europe. It also has England’s largest lowland hefted flock of sheep too!
As a coach has to be hired for the Stanta visit, there will be a £15 per head charge – which must be booked in advance. And because this is a joint visit with East Norfolk branch of the National Farmers’ Union, early application is advised – numbers are obviously limited. See payments details below.
The visit will start with a buffet lunch at the Angel, Larling, and the £15 cost includes lunch and the coach. Partners/ guests are welcome. Please, note, the farm visit will be on foot – with vehicle support for more senior members.
Programme
Lunch 12.30pm, Angel, Larling, onwards.
Farm visit 2.30pm, tea, 4.30pm.
Stanta tour at 5.30pm, ends about 8.30pm.
Early application to the secretary, Michael Pollitt, please, or ring me on 01603 486997 or the NFU’s office.
