North Wymondham Community Centre stepped back in time for the latest in a series of events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the building in Lime Tree Avenue, Wymondham, The event, called We Adore 1974, was in the style of a family party, with guests invited to dress in 70s outfits and bring food and drink enjoyed at that time. During the course of the evening Jennifer Cawte and John Braben explained how the site was developed from an empty field on the edge of town, to the substantial brick and tile building that it is today. There were quizzes, games and Spot Prize competitions, including a round of Hoy, a form of Bingo using playing cards, that was a popular activity in the hall in the 1970s. Volunteer news readers from Wymondham and Attleborough Talking Newspaper presented a selection of articles from the local press archive, one of which referred to a Model Railway exhibition, organised by Jim Cawte. Wymondham u3a was represented. The group was initiated in the hall in the early 2000s and used it as its base until 2013, when it moved to Central Hall, with now more than 600 members. The evening was masterminded by the enthusiastic Events Team, who will be in action again on Thursday 28 November at 4.15pm, supporting a touring Children’s Pantomime called bah Humbug, presented by previous hall users, Slow Theatre Company.
