The Ely Standard reported today of the closure of the Little Thetford Senior Citizens Club due to a lack of members. Anyone wishing to enquire about this contact us here or contact Rose Bussingham who is holding all the club documents.
Popular village pastel artist Claire McGinley recently completed her MA in Children’s book illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. We took a look at recent additions to her web site and were mightily impressed.

Grand Christmas Fayre
Little Thetford Christmas calendar.
In our article on The Round House, Past and Present, published in May 2010, we link to “… an interesting account with photographs of [James and Elizabeth Bullman] on ‘James Bullman and his Descendants’ on www.docstore.com/2533850/bulman”. That link is no longer active.
We continue to get enquiries from around the world on the Bullman family. For example, the most recent from Lorraine, their great great great great granddaughter from Australia, who is “a direct descendant of James and Elizabeth Bullman”. Lorraine would like to find out more about [the Bullman’s] and asks if anyone has any photos.
As always, we would be delighted to pass on any enquiries though if anyone knows where the excellent family tree has gone (www.docstore.com/2533850/bulman), please do let us know.
For all family history researchers, do examine the transcripts of the Little Thetford St George’s Church parish records.

A recent e-cops newsletter from the County Constabulary has drawn our attention to a despicable scam that could cost you over £300!
From the e-cops newsletter …
A card is posted through your door from a company called PSD (parcel delivery service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 ****** [actual number removed] (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, this is a mail scam. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed for £315 for the phone call.
If you receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.
To sign up to receive your own copy of the e-cops newsletter, visit this page.
You should always be wary of calling or texting any premium rate number. Crime Stoppers UK have an article on premium rate fraud scams and Which? also publish guidelines on “How to avoid premium rate scams“. In addition, if you are frequently bothered by nuisance sales calls, consider registering your phone number(s) with the Telephone Preference Service.

Claire Louise self-portrait 2012
Claire Louise mainly uses a Canon EOS 550D with 18–55mm lens on manual without flash. She has Adobe Photoshop on her PC though she rarely uses it; preferring not to tweak her photographs except sometimes to artistically crop. Claire Louise also runs the iCanvas web site from the village which was started in August this year. This service turns your own photographs or her stock images into beautiful canvas prints up to 100cm x 50cm or even larger. A nice way to decorate any room.
We welcome Claire Louise to our village and wish her well with her enterprises.
We show below a very small selection of work by Claire Louise. These are some of her personal favourites. Don’t forget to check out more of her work on her Facebook page. Please do tell us what you think from the page here.
The “February in Little Thetford” photo was taken on 5 February 2012 looking across Thetford Field towards Stretham. This photo has proved popular in iCanvas. The “Cherries” were taken that same afternoon. Model Pixie’s favourite person is US singer, songwriter and actress Katy Perry. Can you tell?
