 Norman was always very precise, a perfectionist, so it is no surprise to learn that he trained as an engineer.  He was apprenticed to an engineering company, Armstrong Whitman and attended Coventry Technical College.  He later became a member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Production Engineers and was himself a Chartered Engineer.

 His career shaped his life; everything had to be just right for Norman always the perfectionist.  Norman married Bette in 1952, his lifelong partner and friend.  Norman, with Bette's support, started his own company supplying high quality insert bits for machine tools.  The successful company was bought out at a later date by Sumitomo Hardmetals Ltd and Norman continued working for the company as its Director till his retirement making many friends in Japan as a result.
 Norman and Bette moved to Lacey Green in 1968 and since that time have been an integral part of the Community.  Getting involved in many organisations and making deep and lasting friendships and this community has benefited tremendously as a result.

 Norman loved this area and the surrounding countryside and was a very active member of the Happy Wanderers Walking club.  But apart from the countryside the walking club gave him the opportunity to indulge in his other passion; his love of good food.  Whilst many of us were putting on our walking boots after stopping at a local pub you could hear the cry; "Where's Norman" and the reply was, "Oh he's finishing his pudding"!  He loved London and would arrange walking tours in the Capital for his friends and Village organisations often ending up with a good meal in an Italian restaurant.

		+	I am delighted to report that the Strawberry Tea at [https://laceygreenhistory.com/w/index.php/Loosley_Dene Loosley Dene] in memory of my mother really could not have gone better. The sun shone, the jazz band played and well over a hundred people turned out to enjoy tea, cakes and chat, set against a spectacular view in [https://laceygreenhistory.com/w/index.php/Sarah_&_Tim_Halliday Sarah & Tim Halliday]'s delightful garden.
		+
		+	There were Kunekune pigs and miniature donkeys to stroke, herbs and roses to sniff, a gruffalo to hunt and a den for the children to hide away in. Who could ask for more!
		+
		+	It was a marvellous afternoon, and particularly appropriate because for many years my mother had helped to organise the annual Strawberry Tea at a string of different venues around the village and \| know that she would have loved this one, Surrounded by so many of her dear friends.
		+
		+	As well as being a hugely enjoyable afternoon, thanks to everyone's generosity we raised over a thousand pounds to support St John's School's wildlife garden, and \| am sure that she would have approved of that too as she always enjoyed being with children (she served as a ‘Tuck Shop Operative' at the Youth Club until she was nearly ninety!).
		+
		+	So I would just like to say a large 'thank you' to everyone who did so much to make it such a wondertul and memorable occasion. To Sarah and Tim for coming up with the idea in the first place, and for the hours of hard work that went into organising it. To all the ladies of the WI catering corps who tirelessly made and served all those delicious cakes. To the lads in the band, whose music did so much to make the occasion so special. To whoever it was who arranged for the rain to pause just long enough for us to enjoy the afternoon and get home before it started again. And last but certainly not least, to all of you who came along to support us. It was a perfect village day.
		+
		+	St John's C of E Primary School would like to say a big "Thank You" to all the people who attended the Strawberry Tea in memory of Bette Tyler at Sarah Halliday's beautiful garden. The day was a great success, with the weather holding out and everyone enjoying the delicious cakes and cream teas provided by the WI.
		+
		+	Sarah very generously donated all of the entrance money to regenerate the school's Wildlife Garden, known as Hogan's Hideaway. The money is going to be used to purchase plants and materials to make the garden useable for all the children at the school to access.
		+
		+	The idea is that children will go in and explore the wildlife, through pond dipping, bird watching in a hide and observing the insects attracted by the different variety of wild flowers. Watch this space for updates and pictures.
