Battle of Britain Parade thrills Cromer
Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent
At least two thousand people surrounded Cromer promenade for the ceremonial event which honoured the men and women who served in the Battle of Britain against Germany, which finished on September 9th 1940. The crowd watched nine Royal Air Force Association standard bearers, who formed a guard of honour, the Royal Air Force Regiment band and service personnel from RAF Marham. And there was a magnificent flypast by the Sptfire shown in the photo opposite. The parade is organised by the council but could not realistically by held at the usual venue at County Hall because of scaffolding work at the council headquarters. but took place in Cromer at the request of Mrs Cox . She inspected the service personnel with Wing Commander Neil Tomlin from RAF Marham. Cromer town crier, Jason Bell, ended the parade which was followed by a service in Cromer Parish Church. Perhaps the success will persuade the council to move the ceremony around Norfolk county to others towns. Photos courtesy David Abbott and Andy Roberts

A Taste of what it’s like to be blind – on a plate
We are delighted to be working with the Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind as we launch this year’s Grove event in the Norfolk and Norwich Food Festival.
Together we are hosting a prestige evening on October 4th where guests will be blindfolded to sample their dinners – unaware where the food is situated on their plates.
It’s a great opportunity to sample some of chef Charlie Hodson’s award-winning fare, created as always with a much locally-sourced produce as possible, but this time with the added quirk of not being able to see what you’re doing with your knife and fork! And as always Charlie has some delightful food waiting for all those brave enough to go under the blindfold… “Those of us lucky enough to have the use of our sight tend to make some big mental decisions when we see the food arrive on the tables, and utilise our other senses – taste, touch, smell – after that,” said Charlie. “So it will be very interesting to hear if, for example, people notice the flavours more intensely, or

the aromas as the food comes up to the table. “It’s going to be a lovely event and we are really looking forward to seeing people’s reactions to having to concentrate on using other senses as they eat.”
The charity’s events manager and former Norwich City footballer, Jeremy Goss said: “Just imagine trying to eat a Sunday roast when you can’t see to cut the beef, slice a roast potato or identify where the carrots and peas are. It would be a nightmare for sighted people, but it’s a situation blind people are confronted with every day. It’s compounded when they are eating out when it can be embarrassing to be seen touching your food.”
The Blind Dining Experience is being held on October 4 at 7.30pm, and will include a talk on how blind people cope by the NNAB’s leisure co-ordinator Mark Smith, who is himself blind.
Mr Smith said: “Like everyone else, I love eating out with family and friends, but it can prove difficult at times when you literally can’t

NEWS FROM NORTH NORFOLK COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
North Norfolk Community Transport (NNCT) is delighted to announce that its bid to the Big Lottery Fund, on which its Chief Officer, Eileen Oliver, worked for over a year, has been successful. The award of £168,000, to be paid over 3 years, is to be used to develop community transport in the areas of Cromer and Sheringham. It will enable NNCT to research the unmet need, particularly in outlying parts of the area, and on the outskirts of the towns, for transport into the towns to shop and use other facilities, and, especially important, to get to appointments for the full range of medical services whether at one of the hospitals, doctors’ or dental surgeries, the chiropodist, or whatever. Once the need has been ascertained then existing services will be developed and new ones provided to meet those needs. There will be two main ways of providing the transport : NNCT’s Dial-a-Bus, door-to-door minibuses will take people into the towns and provide group transport for community and charity groups to meetings or on outings, while the mediride service, provided by volunteer drivers in their own cars, will take people to their medical appointments.
The Big Lottery award will fund a new minibus, a part-time project officer to research and set up the services, and finance to help run the services during the early years. The project will start early 2014, with services getting started a little later once the preliminary work has been done. NNCT already provides some services in these areas, but only on a small scale. The expanded scheme will need more volunteer drivers both to drive the minibuses and to drive people to medical appointments. All drivers are paid their expenses (currently 42p. per mile). If any readers have need of these services, or know of others who need help, or who would be interested in the possibility of becoming a volunteer driver, then we would be delighted to hear from them. We can be contacted on 01263 839009, or emailed at nnct@btconnect.com; our website is www.northnorfolkcommunitytransport.co.uk NNCT has recently signed a partnership agreement with Victory Housing who themselves are undertaking research into transport need, especially among their own residents, and who are providing some funding. Taken together, the outlook for the transport isolated of North Norfolk is suddenly looking brighter! Cromer Times 430 September 21st 2013
Sharma writes ‘I feel that North Norfolk is a part of the world you choose to visit, rather than passing through, and this adds to its uniqueness. I was drawn here seven years ago and live in Sheringham. The ever changing face of the seashore is so diverse it brings an opportunity to meet and photograph some very strange and exotic sea life, illuminated by the vast sea skies. I find macro photography, the perfect medium to express and share the minute details of its lives and life cycles. I am a member of Nova (North Norfolk Organization for Visual Artists)’.

Dear Margaret,
May I send a warning to people shopping in Morrisons at Cromer...?
Are you aware that your car is photographed at the entrance to Morrisons and you have two hours before you are again photographed by a camera on your exit. If like me, you go into the café after shopping for lunch and go over the two hour limit you are sent a £90 fine in the post. There are parking signs in the car park but I feel they are very unclear.
So please don’t make the mistake I did!

Dear Margaret,
The people of Sheringham should be aware that some of the advantages that they currently enjoy are now under a real and present threat. Chief among these is the existence of the Poppy Line, one of our major tourist attractions. If the NNR is allowed to proceed with its plans to turn the Poppy line into just another link in a regular train service between Norwich and Holt or beyond, it cannot possibly retain its present character, and Sheringham will lose its fame as a unique, steam train town, and will become just another stop on a main line route. This would be a disaster for our town. Another advantage that we currently enjoy is that of free access to our main street via Station Road, the main entry point to Sheringham. Not a great privilege, you might say – no more than we have a right to expect. But this too could be denied to us if the NNR is allowed to build level crossing gates over this key route, which will be closed every time the regular train services pass through. The Shannocks of the 1960s abandoned their station and opted for a bare stopping platform instead precisely in order to get rid of their level crossing gates, which even then were an intolerable obstruction to traffic. To restore them now would not be in the public interest. If motorists learn to avoid Station Road because of the regular blockages there, what are the alternatives? Any suggestion of using Beeston Road as a main entry point to our town is, of course, a joke. This leaves only Church Street as an alternative. But the Church Street bridge is narrow and dangerous, as is Church Street itself between the bridge and the church. Surely our traffic problems are bad enough already without adding to them. Will the existence of level crossing gates encourage people to come to Sheringham? I rather doubt it. They are more likely to avoid our town as it acquires a reputation for traffic congestion.
Our shopkeepers too should be concerned about the NNR’s plans. If our town is regularly bisected by trains trundling slowly through its heart, it is our shopping streets that will be cut off, but access to Tesco will remain unimpeded. Drivers might well come to think, ‘Why risk a jam? Just go to Tesco.’ In short, the NNR’s plans for a Norfolk Orbital Railway will be an unmitigated disaster for Sheringham if they are allowed to proceed. What are our local councillors, who ought to be governing in the interests of Sheringham instead of those of the NNR, doing about it? Let’s see, shall we? First, half of Ottendorf Green, once a pleasant, open, green public space for us all to enjoy, was handed over to the Railway Interest. They built a track over it. Then they were allowed to extend that track over our main street, linking up with the main line, all with no public consultation whatsoever. Now the signal box has been moved, and level crossing warning signs have gone up on Station Road. What do you think is going to happen next? If the NNR decides to throw up crossing gates over our main street, will they ask us for our permission first? Will they even ask us for our opinion? No, our irresponsible councillors will simply nod their plans through again in the same way as before. Their behaviour has been absolutely disgraceful. I have never lived in a town whose local government has been so blatantly neglectful of the interests of those people who elected it. We certainly need a referendum on this issue before the plans of the Melton Constable Trust are allowed to proceed any further. I suggest that we should all write to our councillors to demand one. If it is refused, they should do the honourable thing and resign in disgrace. Ross Wordie Sheringham

Circular Railway to Norwich
LAND PURCHASE FIRST STEP TO ESTABLISHING ORBITAL RAIL ROUTE - New fund raising drive launched
The ambition to establish a Norfolk Orbital railway has moved forward with the purchase of a vital piece of former railway track bed at Holt – and the charity behind the scheme, the Melton Constable Trust, is appealing for £85,000 to secure the next stretch.
The eventual aim of the company behind the Norfolk Orbital railway, the Holt, Melton Constable and Fakenham Railway (HMCFR), is to link the existing rail heads at Holt on the North Norfolk Railway and Dereham on the Mid Norfolk Railway, via Fakenham, to create a passenger carrying railway line that brings rail travel back to communities throughout Norfolk that are currently entirely reliant on car and bus transport. Both the existing railways have connections to Network Rail at Sheringham and Wymondham respectively and the line would be built on the track beds of railways closed in the 1960s as part of the Beeching axe.
The first stage, however, is to bring a regular rail service to Norwich back to the town of Holt. The purchase of the key section of former trackbed to the south of the North Norfolk Railway’s station on the outskirts of Holt brings this aim a vital step nearer reality. The company has also agreed terms for the purchase of a further section of land and paid a £15,000 deposit.
“This is major progress of the most practical kind,” said Trevor Bailey, one of the trustees of The Melton Constable Trust, the registered charity that plans to rebuild a railway extending from the North Norfolk Railway's present terminus into and beyond Holt. “Now we can offer the best of reasons why the public and organisations should give financial support towards the next stage.”
The Trust is now launching an appeal to raise £85,000 to secure the next stretch, crucially requiring £20,000 by 30 November this year. Last year the Trust had a significant success in being accepted into the Big Give, one of the country's main challenge funds for charities. The Big Give partially matched donations from the public.
David Bill MBE, a trustee of the charity whose family long worked on the railway before its closure in 1964, had been impressed by public support. “We were amazed how enthusiastically people from the local area and all over the country responded to our initial,
quite small scale, fund-raising push. It is down to them that the Trust now owns this vital piece of land. We are today launching a new fundraising campaign to enable us to buy other key sections. We need every donation we can get in the coming weeks.”
The Trust's immediate intention is to secure the land for the route, so that nothing can physically block the building of the railway, the construction of which will be subject to the normal statutory permissions and standards.
The plan, drawn up by expert railway engineers, W S Atkins, takes the railway for part of its route onto the wide area of land alongside the Holt bypass, the road having taken the original trackbed. There are detailed design issues but Norfolk County Council has made it clear that it has no objections in principle.
Trevor Bailey emphasised that the Trust's first concern was to restore train services to Holt and beyond in order to provide efficient and environmentally friendly public transport. “The North Norfolk Railway has already been reconnected to Network Rail's Bittern Line at Sheringham. We want to see Holt linked back into the national rail system, with travel opportunities to all parts of the country.

At the same time, we shall be very happy to see the North Norfolk Railway's heritage services running to Holt. Those services provide huge car-free tourism benefits and could be of great economic advantage to Holt itself.”
An agreement has been signed with the North Norfolk Railway covering the extension of the railway into Holt and the principle of a through transport service from the Bittern Line.
The Trust's Patron, Lord Walpole, had received news of the first land purchase with delight. “I am so pleased. So much work has been put into this project. Now we can see it starting to become real in no uncertain terms. I urge everyone who cares about public transport, the history and the future of the rail system, car-free tourism, the local economy and the Norfolk environment to support the next stage with any donations they can afford before the end of November.”
Local tourist organisations have welcomed the development. Mark Durrant, operations manager at Kelling Heath Holiday Park, said: "It looks like exciting times are ahead for the Melton Constable Trust with works now going ahead to prepare land for the potential extension to the heart of Holt itself. Tourism is the largest industry in the region and Kelling Heath fully support the proposals to improve the accessibility both to and from this unique part of North Norfolk.
“There is no doubt this development would increase visitor numbers to the region and provide a well needed boost to the shops, restaurants, accommodation providers and businesses not only in and around Holt but also in the wider North Norfolk area."
Donations can be made to The Melton Constable Trust, The Railway Institute, 6 Briston Road, Melton Constable, Norfolk, NR24 2DA.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Mimosa, Kingston and Harvey, three of the kittens from the feral colony, have left for new homes and the other five are now all available for re-homing. Kirsch made a good recovery and is a very loving little lad. Dorothy and Felicity the dumped kittens (also mentioned last time) have now gone to new homes. We do still, however, have lots more kittens available in most colours and sizes, all just waiting for that special person to come along and claim them.
Sometimes, persistence does pay as we have discovered recently with one little cat. We were first advised about her at the beginning of June, just after she had given birth to 2 kittens. Unfortunately she moved the kittens before we could trap her and although she returned for food nothing was seen of the kittens for some time. Finally, the gentleman who had been feeding her was able to trap her and the kittens and they came into care. Although the kittens are still a little shy, Magic, their mum, is very friendly and not a feral as we first thought. Still not a year old this lovely girl has now been neutered and is available. With a little
WORMING ADVICE
more contact and play with their fosterer’s children, her kittens, Hocus and Pocus, should soon also be available.
You may have already seen in the press the story of Nugget, the little cat missing for four years but now happily reunited with her family, because we discovered she was micro- chipped Sonny and Cher, two recent arrivals, when she was now up for adoption handed in to us as a stray. It is a lovely feeling to be able to re-unite a cat with its owner and just goes to prove the importance of having your cat chipped. We micro-chip all the cats in care if they are old enough and for those that are not, arrange for this to be done at the vets either when they have their second vaccination or when they are neutered. In the past we have been fortunate to be able to contact owners of micro-chipped cats handed in to us but do know of instances in other parts of the country where this has not been possible because records have not been updated when the owner has moved. Please, if your cat is chipped and you move, make sure you advise the micro-chip company.
At Miramar Vets we know how important your pet is to you and how they really are part of the family, that’s why it’s important to keep them in tip top condition. A regular worming regime is paramount to a happy, healthy pet.
Did you know?
Worm eggs are present in the environment, you may not notice them or even realise that your pet has worms. Worms can cause serious health issues for your pet, living inside your pets body they can cause damage to tissues and organs and in rare cases with very heavy worm burdens; fitting, anaemia and eventually death. Some worms pose a potential risk to human health as well as the health of their host (your pet). Children, the elderly and people with compromised immunity are most at risk. You cannot prevent your pet from contracting worms but you can regularly ‘manage’ the situation with a good worming regime.
Different types of worm
Roundworm – common in puppies from 2 weeks old. Cause lethargy, bloating, diarrhoea and weight loss. RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH. Tapeworm – eggs are present in the environment, linked closely with fleas. RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH. Whipworm – seen more commonly in kennelled dogs, symptoms include diarrhoea. Hookworm – can cause anaemia and diarrhoea RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH. Lungworm – caught from slugs and snails, cause breathing problems and effect blood clotting. May also lead to paralysis and is sometime fatal. Heartworm – spread by mosquitoes causes coughing and anorexia, can be fatal. UK is currently free from heartworm though it is found in southern Europe, the USA and Australia. TREATMENT REQUIRED AS PART OF THE PET TRAVEL SCHEME From the list above it is clear that not only do worms pose problems for our pets but they are also a potential problem for us too. Even more reason to get up to date with worming routines. Experts recommend you worm your pet at least 4 times a year, however younger animals and those at greater risk, for example keen hunters, may require more regular worming.

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER GROWING HERBS ON THE DANUBE advertisements for river cruises seem to dominate television at the moment especially Viking who sponsor Midsommer Murders, Poirot and numerous other whodunnits.
Their ships claim many features to attract customers including a walking track on the deck (26 laps to the mile), various games and sports including putting and outdoor chess and perhaps most surprisingly an organic herb garden ‘atop the deck’.
When we chose to travel along the Danube with this company I was interested to check whether there was in fact an herb garden and although the use of the term ‘garden’ is a slight exaggeration there were indeed herbs growing on the deck although they were planted in a series of small containers. Most of the commonest herbs were there such as mint, sage and thyme and they looked well trimmed which would indicate that the chef did indeed use them when preparing the meals.
The temperatures and conditions on the Danube can be quite extreme, we had readings of 90 degrees plus but it can get very cold, wet and windy and if the herbs can survive in such difficult conditions it only confirms that we could all grow herbs in our own gardens, containers or on the window ledge.
The little boutique big on fashion
SALE NOW ON
Planting herbs in a container is particularly good because it means that you can have them in a convenient place near to the kitchen. It also means that it is possible to move the herbs around so that they receive the summer sun and the winter protection they require in order to survive. Containers can be planted up with herbs
as easily as any other plants, look attractive and smell delicious. Variegated or coloured forms add extra interest.
Herbs can easily be grown from seed but to save time ready grown plants are always available from markets, garden centres, supermarkets and even your local greengrocer. If you have bought large plants split the clumps to make more plants and space them out in the container. Depending on the variety you should be able to fit six plants in a 12 inch container.
• suitable herbs. Most herbs are suitable for containers, providing they have well-drained compost and a sunny position. Small herbs such as chives, basil, marjoram, oregano, parsley and sage are particularly suited to container cultivation. Larger herbs such as rosemary need regular trimming. Tender herbs such as coriander and basil are fairly easy to grow in a container if they are given winter protection, but - since these herbs often deteriorate over winter – they are best re-sown annually to ensure a new growth of vigorous plants. Mint is so invasive it is best planted in a separate pot.
• Pesticides. Avoid pesticides whenever possible. If you must use them, select those suitable for use on edible crops and that have short persistence. Check for pests and diseases regularly and deal with them promptly.
• Freezing to preserve. Store chopped herb trimmings in ice for use in the winter when herbs are scarce. Thaw, and drain them if necessary before use.
The cruise itself was excellent with passengers from all around the world, but the greatest number came from the USA, and the reason for this brings us back to the power of television. It seems that in America, Viking River Cruises sponsor Downton Abbey and many of the Americans we spoke to were absolutely fanatical about the programme and to satisfy them the two series of the programme were available, on demand, in the cabins.

If music be the food of love … Love food? Love music? if the answers are yes, the 2013 aylsham Food Festival, 4th to 6th october, is definitely not to be missed.
The Festival, sponsored by AEG and J B Postle, first introduced music to its programme in 2012. This was so well received that Festival organisers Slow Food Aylsham decided to include it again for 2013 by booking the highly acclaimed percussion duo Bang On!
The two percussionists have been semifinalists on TV's Britain's Got Talent as well as appearing at the Olympics opening ceremony. They have toured in Europe, played in the Far East and of course at many venues in the UK and on 28 September and 5 October, thanks to support from Creative Arts East and Norfolk Arts Council, they will be in Aylsham!
Bang On! offers a whole percussion experience to people of all ages, whether you just want to watch and listen or, even better, join in the fun. On Saturday 28 September at Aylsham High School, Bang On! will be running a series of
Cromer Society
three free workshops where you can go along and discover a percussion experience that will prove music can be made from almost anything. All 'instruments' will be on hand and you don't need any musical experience, just the ability to enjoy yourself!
The duo will be back in town on Saturday 5 October, this time in the Market Place and Town Hall. There will be two more workshops, starting at midday, and at around 3.30pm a Grand Finale performance in the Market Place involving everyone who has played in the workshops.
Slow Food's Jill Willis who has arranged for Bang On! to be part of the Food Festival says she is really excited about bringing such a well known group to the Festival. ‘Bang On! produce a great addictive sound’ she says ‘and it's difficult to keep still while they're playing. Their visit to Aylsham offers everyone, young and not so young, the opportunity to enjoy a unique musical experience’.
You can book your free place at a bang on! workshop by logging on to www.slowfoodaylsham.org.uk
If you have the energy left after Bang On!, there's another musical opportunity during the
Food Festival weekend. On Saturday 5 October at 7.30pm in the Town Hall, Norfolk based band Rig-a-Jig-Jig will be playing and calling the dances for an evening of country music fun, staged in association with Aylsham Heritage Centre and Aylsham Local History Society. Tickets, at £8 to include a ploughman's supper, are available from Salad Days in Aylsham Market Place and from Food Lovers Café & Deli in Penfold Street.
Aylsham Food Festival runs from 4th to 6th October and includes food markets, Kids Cooking Workshops, a Gala Dinner and the Big Slow Breakfast, plus free cookery demonstrations on the AEG Mobile Cooking Academy which will be based at Blickling Hall.

NATIONAL BLOOD SERVICE BLOOD DONOR SESSIONS
Tuesday 17 October at ST ANDREW METHODIST CHURCH, CROMER ROAD, SHERINGHAM 1pm – 3.30pm and 5pm – 7pm
Swap Hibernation for Blood Donation
With the days getting shorter and the long summer days drawing to an end, NHS Blood and Transplant is asking people to swap their sofa for a donation chair at one of the upcoming blood donation sessions in local area.
The change of weather also sees the start of the colds and flu season which can mean existing donors are unable to donate whilst they are unwell. With only four per cent of the eligible population giving blood regularly it is important that others come forward to donate blood if they are able to do so.
Derek Carr, Lead Donor Relations Manager for NHS Blood and Transplant, said “For many, October can be a quieter time of the year socially and, with the dark nights drawing in, it can be tempting to stay indoors. However, we would ask people to fight the urge to hibernate and save lives instead. If you are generally in good health you could potentially help to save up to three lives with every donation you give. Colds and flu can have a knock-on effect with blood stocks, this is why we need people to act now to help save and improve patients’ lives across England and North Wales.”
Every day hospitals in England and North Wales need around 7,000 units of blood to treat patients with a range of health issues including patients with cancer, patients in A&E and women needing blood during maternity care.
NHS Blood and Transplant collects blood across England and North Wales and plans sessions to ensure the right volumes of blood are collected, tested and delivered to meet the needs of patients.
Anyone aged between 17 - 65, weighing more than 50 kg (7 stone 12lbs) and in general good health could potentially start saving lives by becoming a blood donor. There is no upper age limit for donors who have donated in the last two years. Whilst we can’t collect blood in every town and village there are regular opportunities for people to attend blood donor sessions across the region.

Youth HUBs aim to be centre of local Youth Communities
North Norfolk Youth HUBs is the new service supported by youth charity MAP, which is committed to providing an open and friendly space in which young people can socialise and take part in FREE, enjoyable, positive activities and local projects. The HUBs aim to support and provide useful information to all young people aged 13-19 years old in North Norfolk. The activities and focus of each HUB will be discussed and planned by the young members themselves, as will the taster sessions and any future community projects with which the HUBs will become engaged. The intention is for the HUBs to meet every fortnight.
Will, the Senior Youth Worker for the NNYH project, says, “These HUBs are a welcoming space where young people can relax and enjoy themselves with the support of trained Youth Workers. They also provide a great opportunity for those young people who wish to grow in confidence or gain valuable experience in planning, fundraising and leadership.”
Will and Hannah, both from MAP, have already had great success with the new Cromer HUB, and are about to open another three HUBs in Stalham, Mundesley, and Sheringham in early September. Each HUB will run once a fortnight from 4-6pm on a Wednesday or Thursday.
See what Will and Hannah have been up to in Cromer, find out more about your local HUB, and help us promote the project, by liking NNHUBS on Facebook.
Dates: Cromer - Merchant’s Place, every other Wednesday, 4-6pm sheringham - Odd Fellows’ Hall, every other Thursday, 4.30-6.30pm Mundesley - Scout Hut, every other Wednesday, 4-6pm stalham - Stalham Sports Centre, every other Thursday, 4-6pm

A Good Night Out in Northrepps
Northrepps Film Society’s first ever show on Thursday 5 September was judged a great success by all. Twenty people turned up to see The King’s Speech at Northrepps Village Hall where they enjoyed a cup of tea or glass of wine in the foyer before filing in to take their seats.
The large screen surrounded by black drapes gave the hall the look of a real cinema and a speech by Alistair McKay, Chairman of Northrepps Parish Council, provided the Society with a fitting inauguration.
According to audience feedback after the show, everyone found the sound and picture quality excellent and some who had seen the film before said they enjoyed it even more the second time.
The Society’s next film, on 3 October, is Midnight Cowboy, John Schlesinger’s gritty 1969 study of the relationship between two outsiders (Dustin Hoffman and John Voight) struggling to survive on the streets of New York. Admission is £4.50; doors at Northrepps Village Hall open at 7pmwith tea, coffee and licensed bar - the film begins at 7:30 p.m.
The Film Society will then look forward to showing Cromer in the Second World War on 7 November when Peter Stibbons will introduce the film and take questions afterwards.

CCTV
North Norfolk residents will have been horrified to hear that the Conservative North Norfolk District Council is considering scrapping CCTV in our towns.Although it is right that the council should review and consider whether CCTV can be run more efficiently with the right safeguards, turning the cameras off is not the solution.
I am keen to ensure North Norfolk continues to be an area where we have relative low crime and CCTV cameras act as a deterrent and keep residents, tourists and traders safe on our streets. Doing away with CCTV will prove to be an unwelcome decision that will impact on the lives and safety of those living and working in North Norfolk.

News from the White Horse Overstrand with Head Chef Nathan Boon
It is hard to believe we are now in the month of September, the weather is still good and we are still seeing plenty of holiday visitors at the White Horse and are pleased to see so many familiar faces from this time last year. We have just started our Autumn run of ‘Speciality Food Nights’, always popular they give my kitchen team a chance to offer a range of dishes that we might not normally cook and of course our customers even more food choices. Starting on the 18th September there will be a different them every Wednesday until we start our Christmas Menu’s in December. Already planned are the ever popular Seafood and Steak nights and along with Grill, Burger and Italian nights there are more themes still to be announced. Don’t forget that our Christmas and New Year Menus are freely available from
the pub so if you are planning a Christmas party for workmates or with friends you should call in and get a copy, we are always happy to help with any special dietary requirements and for larger parties we are again this year offering a free disco.
This year seems to be a bumper year for apples os I have written my own recipe for Apple Pie always a favourite and so easy to make its an ideal Autumn dessert which all the family can enjoy.
nathan boon’s recipe for apple tart Ingredients: 500g Coxs Apples for purée, 100g Caster Sugar, 750g Cox's Apples for slicing, 500g Puff Pastry, 50g Butter
D.A.P.
MOTOR ENGINEERS 01263 515076
DAVID A. PYMAN
Unit 5, Stonehill Way, Holt Road, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 9JW Method: Peel, core and quarter 100g of apples add to the pan with 75g of your sugar and 4 tablespoons of water simmer for 20 minutes strain off excess fluid. Roll out the pastry into roughly a 30cm circle (an average dinner plate can be used as a template) place on greased baking tray, prick with fork leave a one inch border unpricked, spread the apple compote on the pastry leaving the one inch border. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Peel, core and slice remaining apples. Arrange the sliced apples in circles overlapping on top of the apple purée. Melt the butter and brush over the apples, sprinkle with the remaining sugar, bake for around 30 minutes on 190c. Can be served with Creme Fraiche, Vanilla Ice Cream or for a change try Toffee Ice Cream.

Sheringham Park makes the top ten in new ‘secret walks’ list Telephone : (01263) 768056
uK’s top ten secret walks revealed for the Great british Walk 2013
To celebrate the launch of The Great British Walk last month (the National Trust’s annual walking festival), the Trust has revealed the top ten secret trails that can only be accessed by foot, with Sheringham Park in Norfolk making the list.
The list has been carefully selected by experts at the National Trust to showcase unique walking experiences. This comes following new research, which found that 82% of people in the East of England like discovering new places when on a walk, with 60% describing a feeling of euphoria on reaching an amazing viewpoint.
the top ten secret discovery walks are: 1. the White Cliffs of Dover The land acquired by the National Trust last year is now opened up to the public for the first time, allowing visitors to walk a new route to the South Foreland Lighthouse, which offers a previously unseen view across this iconic landscape. 26
2. Minnowburn, northern ireland The Giant's Ring is the largest henge and stone circle in Ireland. It was built around the same time as Stonehenge and Avebury in 2,700BC, but its story is little known. This two mile walk starting from the car-park reveals a hidden side to the well know city of Belfast, which lies less than three miles away.
3. erddig, Wales A love story between two of Erddig's family servants has been brought to life in a walk

Older People from North Norfolk Area Come Together to Discuss the Challenges of Rural Living
Age UK North Norfolk is giving local older people the chance to share their experiences of rural living with local MP Norman Lamb. The event is part of Age UK’s nationwide campaign, ‘Later life in rural England’, which aims to raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities faced by older people living in rural England. The event will be hosted by Age UK North Norfolk at Pinewood Park Leisure Centre, Holt Road, Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, NR26 8TU, on Friday 11 October starting at 10am. Lyn Battrick, General Manager, Age UK North Norfolk said: ‘Living in the countryside holds many advantages for older people, including peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings and a strong sense of community. Yet while the ‘rural idyll’ holds true for some people, with poor transport links and large distances between towns and villages, living in a rural area can present unique challenges for older people. We want older people in North Norfolk to have their say on these issues and discuss solutions to these problems’. Age UK’s campaign – ‘Later life in rural England’ – is calling for all levels of government to: • ‘rural proof’ policy and services that may have an impact on rural areas and make older people a priority in this process • take the ‘rural premium’ and social value of services into account • support community participation • target social isolation in rural areas one Church, two Worship Centres, Four congregations
Every Sunday ……. 9.00am @ The Parish Church – quiet, more traditional 10.30am @ The Parish Church – all age & contemporary 10.30am @ St Martin’s – smaller & more intimate 6.30pm @ The Parish Church – relaxed & informal Two Special Services for September Sunday 22nd – Harvest 9.00am – Parish Church – Harvest communion 10.30am – Parish Church – All Age Harvest Service 10.30pm – St Martin’s – Harvest Celebration (Collection of non-perishable or financial gifts for Cromer foodbank) Sunday 29th – 10.30am PChurch Ordination of Jennie Hodgkinson as priest By Bishop Jonathan – Bishop of Lynn

Keep Safe this Winter
Gas Safety Week is an annual Safety Awareness week trying to raise the profile and importance of both natural and LPG gas safety.
Its aims are to encourage the public to take care of your gas appliances especially as we approach the start of the heating season. It is co-ordinated by the Gas Safe Register with support from the gas industry including retailers, manufacturers, consumer bodies and their Gas Safe registered engineers.
♦ Twenty one million households in United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey use gas (natural and LPG) for heating, hot water and cooking, yet we take it for granted that our boilers, cookers and gas fires are safe. Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.
♦ Every year thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a highly poisonous gas. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.
♦ Gas Safe Register estimate that there are a hard core of around 7,500 illegal gas fitters operating across the UK and up to 250,000 illegal gas jobs may be carried out each year (Gas Safe Register Research 2009).
♦ Although there is awareness that gas appliances need to be safety checked annually, 43% of Britons don’t do it, and 10% have gas appliances which have never been checked
(Gas Safety Week Research 2011).
This year sees the third Gas Safety Week taking place, from 16th – 22nd September 2013. With national advertising, media coverage and events throughout the week, we want gas safety messages to reach far and wide right at the start of heating season.
KeeP Your HoMe saFe We rely on our gas boilers, cookers and fires to keep warm, have hot baths and showers and cook hot meals. It’s important that gas appliances are safety checked every year and regularly serviced to help keep us safe. Just as you get your car MOT completed and serviced every year, you should have your home gas safety checked every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Mob: 07768 625736
Getting your appliances regularly serviced can actually save you money too as it helps to ensure that your system is running efficiently, thereby reducing fuel costs. It prolongs the life of your system much the same as having your car serviced does for your vehicle.
Remember also that if you have had a new boiler installed in recent years, then annual servicing of such helps to validate your boiler warranty.
There are a number of Gas Safe plumbing & heating engineers in the Cromer Times Service Guide and throughout the magazine.
(Information supplied by the Gas Safety Register and Aquaflow of Sheringham)
The September meeting was well attended by members plus one guest at the Links Hotel in West Runton. After another excellent lunch, George Carrick gave a fluent and interesting presentation on the historical use of railway carriages as accommodation. He mentioned early use as holiday homes in seaside locations as well as permanent homes being created by the joining together of 2 carriages or by building an extension on to one.

George told the story of the conversion of a railway carriage into a small cottage, situated at Holt Railway Station on the North Norfolk Railway. The interior is set up to re-create typical conditions from the 1930s and George urged those who had not already visited to go along and have a look.
The guest who attended was on his second visit and has indicated that he intends to join. He has been very complimentary about the quality of the speakers and said he had enjoyed both the food and company at lunch. The club is very pleased to announce that Keith Skipper, the local writer and broadcaster, and his wife have accepted our invitation to attend the Christmas lunch on 3 December as the Chairman’s “Guests of Honour”. At the next meeting on Tuesday 1 October, Thomas Spencer will give a talk entitled “Pensthorpe: Past, Present and Future”.

Cromer Marrams bowls Club
and ladies games are played in the afternoons. The men can have no excuses however as all club members have the opportunity to play in all the friendly matches and have the benefit of the chosen direction. Our Norfolk Bowls Association Ladies President, Sue Ealden, also decided to use the same tactic when the club hosted her game between a ladies county team against a men’s county team led by Men’s President Peter Cottee. Clearly the ruse worked as again the ladies were successful. So that is two wins for the ladies on the Marrams green and I expect that they will bring the results up in conversation on a regular basis. Federation Captain John gathered together a team to play in the Cawston Floodlight knockout Cup competition. To date the club has been successful beating a team from R G Carter BC and followed that with another win against Lyng BC. In the
Tales from the Bowling Green ...
... and the wonderful bowling weather has continued. This time I have to report it has been a very good time for lady bowlers. Yes the annual game between the ladies and gentlemen of the club was won by the ladies. They did play a bit of a trick by ensuring that the game was played across the green from club house to car park - a direction not normally favoured by the - gentlemen and they were successful. It is the way all friendly

following round, which turned out to be the semi-final, Cromer beat Blakeney British Legion BC so progress to the final where they will play Lenwade Bridge BC. I will give details of the game next time. The club competitions are gradually being played and I expect to have some if not all results next time round. Nothing much else to report other than the arrival for a weekend of Charlie a Celtic FC supporter from across the border. He had a few stories to tell but to be quite honest even before he had a martini or two I could not understand what was being said. Even Neil struggled at times. John the Birder said he would interpret but I am not sure we got the correct translation.
All league and friendly games have now finished so the season winds down with only the club competitions and morning roll ups being played on the green. The green closes at the end of September.

Big generosity and smiles all round for Norfolk on Match Day Norfolk’s cancer charity Big C saw generosity by the bucketful on Norwich City match day.
Norwich City’s match at the end of last month was win-win for Norfolk. Not only did Norwich win their third match of the season, but the first charity collection of the season saw Norfolk’s cancer charity, Big C walk away with buckets filled with over £2,000 – all to be spent on supporting people in Norfolk with cancer as well as their friends their families.
Norwich City fans came from far and wide to help with the collection at the football ground on Saturday. There was a fantastic response to Big C’s call for help via Facebook and Twitter - it encouraged new and seasoned volunteers to help out on the day of Norwich’s home win.
The Charity Day collection is one of five held each year and was organised by Joyce and Colin Bell, helped by Emma Fletcher from the Football club. The money raised will go to help the Big C Centre in Norwich, which currently helps over a 1000 people with cancer and their carers per month, using facilities such as counselling, information, welfare advice and somewhere to relax with a cup of tea.
So a win-win for Norfolk all round, plus the Big C team got to have their picture taken with the man of the match Leroy Fer.
If you need support with cancer, whether you’re a patient yourself or supporting a loved one, Big C can help. They have Support and Information Centres throughout Norfolk, with one at NNUH, one in Great Yarmouth town centre, support at the Louise Hamilton Centre at the James Paget Hospital and a Centre coming soon to King’s Lynn.
Go to www.big-c.co.uk/support for more information or call 01603 619900.
Big C is a completely independent charity and all the support, funding and services are for the people of Norfolk. Money raised goes to help people in your community who are affected by cancer. Every penny raised here stays here.
Big C funds ground-breaking research into cancer at UEA as well as paying for support and vital life-saving diagnostic and surgical equipment, as well as running Big C Cancer Support and Information Centres, based in key areas around Norfolk.
