Year One Theatre Experience at Suffield Park Infant School During the second week of the spring term the 90 Year One children at Suffield Park Infant school in Cromer had a fantastic opportunity to take part in a drama and storytelling week.

As a school, we believe in providing all pupils with activities they can excel in, and it was wonderful to see their involvement in acting out the mystery in the specifically written story ‘Who Stole Little Bo Peep’s Sheep?’
The children had, prior to this experience, learnt some acting skills, during drama, in their literacy lessons, which involved rich speaking and listening opportunities.

Cromer Air Cadets get Grant from NNDC Big Society Fund to develop a Flight Simulator
Cromer Air Cadets is now on its way to having a state of the art flight simulator. A grant from North Norfolk District Councils Big Society Fund has encouraged the Air Cadets to think how they can utilise their planned project to serve the local community.
The Flight Simulator will be able to provide a chance to fly virtual aircraft of all types including light training aircraft, commercial airliners or fighter jets. It will be based at the 1895 (Cromer) Squadron’s ATC Hut on the grounds of Cromer Academy but will be transportable so can be set up at various locations when required.
Secondly the Flight Simulator will be made available for other local Squadrons to use for learning and enjoyment opportunities. In addition, local Youth Clubs, schools and other youth organisations will be offered as much exposure to its uses as possible. (If you are interested see how to get involved below).
Flight Lieutenant Brian Keerie, the Officer Commanding the Squadron explains “Our Core Aims centre on promoting possible careers in aviation, including those of the RAF and commercial organisations. Having Norwich airport and other aviation based career possibilities in the region has given us the incentive to launch this project for the local community. I hope it will attract new cadets to 1895 (Cromer) Squadron and other local Squadrons and give them a solid ambition they can look forward to!”
Serving the community is Cromer Squadron’s main aim when it comes to teaching the Cadets ‘Good Citizenship’ and the Squadron regularly helps out at community It is early days in the events or with project as yet, but Flight Simulator similar to the one being built. local and national plans are in place and charities. Having progress will likely the Flight Simulator will encourage non cadets be steady! If you are interested in our project to consider a career in aviation, either in the and possible use of the flight simulator once it Forces or commercially and becoming an Air is operational, then why not subscribe to our Cadet is a great start to fulfilling a long term projects blog site www.1895flightsim.org.uk ambition! More cadets will mean more or check us out on opportunities to serve the local area and Facebook at www.facebook.com/ improve the community for those that need it and make it a more welcoming place to 1895flightsim and live and visit. follow us on twitter
Year One Theatre Experience at Suffield Park Infant School
Continued from front cover... During the Theatre week our three Year One classes learnt to tell their part of the intriguing story in their sessions with Sam. The script was lively and engaging and the children loved learning their lines/words and adding actions to perform. Some music and singing was also involved and the simple masks and props provided were endearing! Many traditional characters were in the story and familiar to the children. This acted as stimuli for all children to come to school dressed up as their favourite character on the final day.
Each class spent approximately a day in total with Sam, who, through her fun games and repetitive techniques, encouraged all children to take part. On the final day, the whole story came together in the morning – and we found out who that naughty thief was! The children then, so successfully and with great enjoyment, ended their theatre experience by taking part in two afternoon performances to a real audience of invited, very happy parents

Cromer Times 463 February 14th 2015
Although we still seem to be in the grip of a long, cold winter, the snowdrops are out and the Grove is re-open after a refurbishment in January. We’ve been overwhelmed with demand for the restaurant during the last two weekends, so if you would like to come along and try our fantastic two-rosette local Norfolk dishes then please do book first!
This season is going to be very interesting for Cromer; house prices seem to be rising and there are definitely many more posh cars navigating the one-way system. Is the Burnham Market effect sweeping round the coast? We will wait and see, and in the meantime concentrate on trying to provide the high standards that we have done over the last (nearly) 80 years.
We look forward to seeing you at the Grove!

Choral Society Returns to St Peter’s Sheringham for Spring Concert with Another Premiere Performance
Following on from their hugely successful First World War Centenary concert (which featured Eventide (In Memoriam Edith Cavell) commissioned from the composer Patrick Hawes) Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society return to St Peter's Sheringham for their Spring concert with music especially relevant for Passiontide. The concert will include the first performance of a new piece especially written for the choir by their Musical Director, Nathan Waring. A Lenten Prayer draws on words written for Ash Wednesday.
The choir will also be singing works by two quite different 19th Century composers, one British, the other Italian. The programme will include The Crucifixion by John Stainer and Stabat Mater by Giuseppi Verdi. Although very
different musically these pieces were composed just 10 years apart.
John Stainer's much loved oratorio The Crucifixion is written for choir and organ. It was composed for the choir of Marylebone Church and first performed on February 24 1887. It includes 5 hymns intended for audience participation. Giuseppe Verdi's Stabat Mater was composed in 1896-97 and now forms part of the Quattro pezzi sacri which were first performed on 7 April 1898 in the Grande Opera, Paris. The 4 pieces had been composed separately over the 20 years since Verdi 'retired' from composing after finishing his Requiem in 1874. The choir will once again be joined by two splendid male soloists whose singing has

UEA Film students present talks and discussions at special dystopian film series in Sheringham Little Theatre
The theatre will be showing three fascinating films uncovering the darker side of cinema, including introductions and discussions by Film students from the University of East Anglia.
Sheringham Little Theatre is excited to be playing host to a great cinematic event, set to unite local students and film enthusiasts over three consecutive nights in February. The mini-film series ‘The End is Nigh’ will shed light on the ways in which directors, writers and cinematographers develop a dystopian world within their films.
For those who are particularly interested in expanding their cinematic knowledge there will be a chance to take part in post-screening discussions with film students from the University of East Anglia, who will also be introducing the films. The films were selected by Paston Sixth Form’s Film Club, who also helped organise the event.
The first film to be shown on Thursday 19 February is the German Science-Fiction film Metropolis (1927). This influential piece of cinema is set amongst the juxtaposition of two contrasting worlds. In a highly stylised futuristic city, a beautiful and cultured utopia exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers.
Conflict arises when a privileged youth becomes intent on helping the workers to the dismay of his authoritative father.
The second film in the series is Delicatessen (1991) playing on Friday 20 February. Directed by Jean- Pierre Jeunet (well known for previous work such as Amelie), this French film is set in a post-apocalyptic apartment building. The story focuses on the tenants of the building, struggling for survival on the occasional delicacy of (somewhat questionable) meat from the butcher below. Third on the bill is surreal, genre-jumping mystery The Bothersome Man (2006), in which a 40 year old man arrives in a mysteriously idyllic city with no memory of having travelled there, only to realise there is something decidedly sinister about his emotionally sterile new home.
Dr Karina Aveyard, a Media lecturer at the University of East Anglia said: “These kinds of events are a great opportunity for our students to share their knowledge and passion for film with the local community. For audiences film talks and discussions can really add something special and memorable to the cinema experience.”
Debbie Thompson, Director of Sheringham Little Theatre said “When we’ve had film discussions and workshops in the past, it’s been fantastic to see how interested our audiences are and how hungry the local area is for these sorts of events. Working with the UEA in particular is ideal, as this provides a great platform for students to share their knowledge about the subject while opening it up to people who hasn’t studied it academically as well.”
Tickets for the event are available by calling This series is something new for the Sheringham Little Theatre’s Box Office on theatre, which is keen to establish 01263 822347 or by visiting closer links with Film students in the Norfolk area. This provides an www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com opportunity for the students to gain valuable experience in leading discussions, while giving local residents a chance to expand This year’s competition attracted entries from scores of keen photographers but the winning chosen by a panel of judges, was taken by local photographer Paul Damen. His photo will be used on publicity material for next year’s event.

Sheringham Little Theatre celebrates 55 years of its Summer Repertory by presenting its five best plays in 2015 ‘Best of the Best’ repertory season welcomes back original directors who first brought productions to life on its seaside stage.
Sheringham Little Theatre is thrilled to be producing a summer season of plays made up of the most popular past productions the North Norfolk venue has ever staged. The majority of these productions will feature the same directors credited with first staging the performances in Sheringham, including the return of Olivier Award winning actor Desmond Barrit, who will be directing the hilarious Willy Russell comedy ‘Educating Rita’ in July.
The theatre is one of the last in the country to produce a traditional summer repertory – this is a series of five plays, all sharing the same actors across the entire period. The strength of its professional summer season has earned Sheringham Little Theatre numerous accolades and a dedicated audience, ensuring that residents and tourists alike continue scooping up seats the moment tickets go on sale.
The summer repertory is a legendary challenge for the actors involved, who are regularly required to perform in one play, learn directions for another, and memorise lines for more still – all at the same time. It’s this thrill and professional devotion which gives Sheringham’s repertory its distinct character, enabling it to showcase some of the finest acting and directorial talent in the country. The decision to welcome back five of the most
popular summer repertory productions was made to celebrate the season’s 55th year, giving audiences new and old an opportunity to experience the five ‘Best of the Best’ plays from the theatre’s past.
The first play in the season is ‘Educating Rita,’ running from 21 – 28 July. Desmond Barrit directs this classic comedy which tells the story of an alcoholic university lecturer who has his life changed by his bohemian new student.
This is followed by the Victorian costume drama ‘The Late Edwina Black’. Running from 30 July - 5 August, Warren Catherine directs this twisting tale of death and intrigue about an inspector investigating the sudden death of a wealthy aristocrat.
Next up is ‘Bedroom Farce’. Moving at a frenetic pace and featuring three separate bedrooms, this anticipated production runs from 7 – 18 August. Nicky Henson, a Founder Member of the Young Vic theatre whose career has spanned the Royal Shakespeare Company to Faulty Towers, returns to direct this much-loved Alan Ayckbourn comedy.
August, throws the audience into another fantastical situational comedy. Featuring themes of friendship, betrayal and ultimately love, the production returns after numerous requests for it to have another run in Sheringham. Simon Thompson returns to direct, following the critical success of ‘Caught in the Net’ last year.
Finishing the season is the Noël Coward gem ‘Private Lives,’ running from 1 – 5 September. Peter Craze, hot off from directing ‘The Trials of Oscar Wilde’ for its huge UK run, returns to direct this classic comedy of manners.
Debbie Thompson,
Director of Sheringham Little Theatre said: “We are very excited about this anniversary season and look forward to welcoming back our renowned directors with their fantastic plays.”
Tickets for the event go on public sale on Monday 9 March, and will be available by calling Sheringham Little Theatre’s Box Office on 01263 822347 or by visiting www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com
Photographs are from the previous production of ‘Perfect Wedding’ and ‘The Late Edwina Black’.

The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Part 1 - What are the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards? by Victoria Wells – Solicitor with Hayes + Storr
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) were established under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 2007, to ensure that the freedom of people in care homes and hospitals is restricted only if there is no alternative, and that it is done in a safe and legal way. It must always be done in the best interests of the person concerned.
Any adult being cared for by such a provider, who has a mental health condition (including dementia) which prevents them from making decisions about their care or treatment, may potentially come under these safeguards. The Mental Capacity Act sets out the test for whether someone lacks mental capacity to make decisions, which I will consider further in my next article.
Before applying for a deprivation of liberty authorisation, the care provider must consider whether such care can be given to that person (let’s call her Mrs A) in a less restrictive way. If not, then the care provider must get permission to deprive Mrs A of her liberty. This process provides the following safeguards for Mrs A: 1. She will have a representative to protect her interests. 2. She (or her representative) will have the right to challenge the deprivation of liberty arrangements through the Court of Protection.
3. There will be procedures in place for the deprivation of liberty to be monitored and reviewed regularly.
If the care provider considers it necessary to deprive Mrs A of her liberty in order to provide the necessary care, it must apply for authorisation to the relevant supervisory body, which in England is usually the Local Authority (LA). The LA will assess Mrs A to see whether the necessary criteria for DoLS are met, and will then grant or refuse the authorisation. There must be at least two independent, trained assessors – a best interests assessor (a social worker, nurse, occupational therapist or chartered psychologist) and a mental health assessor (a doctor, usually a psychiatrist or geriatrician). They will report back to the LA, and if they find that the necessary conditions are met, the LA will authorise the deprivation of liberty, possibly with changes to make the care less restrictive. An authorisation should not be used where someone meets the criteria for detention under the Mental Health Act 1983. The authorisation lasts for a maximum of 12 months, but should be for the shortest time possible. It must be reviewed regularly, especially if there is a change of

circumstances, and the LA must remove the authorisation if it is no longer required. They must also provide Mrs A’s representative, usually a family member or friend, with information about her care, and about any changes to the DoLS.
Because it is unlawful to deprive someone of their liberty without this authorisation, the care provider can grant itself an urgent authorisation, which will usually be valid for seven days. They must apply for standard authorisation at the same time.

Overstrand Evening WI
We started 2015 with an entertaining talk from Steve Barrett about his ‘Life as a Hotel Inspector’.
With a military background, Steve started his career as an apprentice chef. He enjoyed various responsibilities during his 23 years’ service that included roles at Windsor Castle, Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Following his demob he became a Hotel Inspector which has encompassed hotels (all grades and sizes), B&Bs, racecourses, restaurants, motorway service stations etc. Steve related several stories including being overfed, top and tailing of beds, loneliness, sleepless nights, being robbed etc. If anyone had any perceptions about this job being a doddle, Steve soon dispelled these thoughts!
A group of members met in Overstrand on a typically crisp cold January morning for a walk. We worked our way through the village and then up to Northrepps before heading back down to Overstrand, stopping for coffee at the Northrepps Cottage Hotel. We paused at intervals to hear snippets of historical interest and with the blue skies and sunshine we had a very pleasant morning.
On 18 February Vera Woolven will give a talk titled ‘The Boy’. Please note that our February meeting will be held in the Methodist Church in Cliff Road. We welcome visitors and prospective new members (you do not have to be an Overstrand resident to join us) to our walks and monthly meetings. Our meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Parish Hall, Overstrand.

We have been using a variety of face and neck lift techniques at the Coltishall Clinic. From Surgical face-lifts, laser facelifts, liquid facelifts to very gentle no needle radiofrequency lifts. Thread lifts have been around in various forms for last many years. Recent refinements however make this procedure very attractive.
So what has changed? Dr Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCCAM Medical director and laser surgeon explains‘three things’-
1] The procedure has changed from a surgical procedure to non-surgical.

Roser_wynnesples@yahoo.com We do not need to use a knife anymore.
2] The threads have changed from permanent threads to reabsorbable ones-same as used in fillers.
3] The price has come down. In the past you could have a surgical face-lift for not very much more so I was reluctant to do a thread lift at such a higher price point. Now these advantages have resultant in a resurgenceof interest in thread lifts.
A thread lift enables two joint actions: • A lift effect as soon as threads are applied for an immediate and discreet result. • A regenerative effect, for progressive and natural results.
How is the procedure performed? No special preparation is required prior to Silhouette Soft® treatment. After a small local anaesthetic, the doctor inserts the thread under the skin to a depth of about three to five millimeters. No incision is required, as the suture is inserted using a fine needle. It is held in place with absorbable cones. Once the suture as been applied, the doctor performs slight compression of the tissue to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect. The non-inserted ends of the suture are cut off. One or more sutures may be applied, depending on the patient and treated area.
What is the recovery like? After Silhouette Soft© treatment, as with any cosmetic treatment, some slight swelling, redness or bruising may sometimes be observed, but these disappear within days. There is sometimes a slight wrinkling of the skin (required for optimisation of the treatment), which disappears very quickly.

Council calls on ‘Absent Voters’ to refresh their signatures North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) has sent letters to 501 long-term absent voters asking them to return a form showing their fresh signature.
Solicitors & Notaries
Returning the completed form by 2 March 2015 will ensure that absent voters will remain eligible to vote in future elections. Reminder notices will be sent to those who have not returned their form by 9 February 2015. If the deadline of 2 March 2015 is missed, their right to an absent vote will be removed and they will be required to complete a new absent voter application form if they wish to vote by post in the future.
With over 35 specialist lawyers to assist you, why look anywhere else?
Postal voters, proxy voters and anyone who has a postal proxy vote, whose signatures have been held for more than five years, are being asked to provide the Council with a new signature if they want to remain an ‘absent voter’.
A frequently asked questions sheet with more information concerning the absent vote signature refresh is available to view online.
For any queries relating to the absent voter signature refresh, please contact NNDC’s Electoral Services team on 01263 516046 or 516317

Update on Clubs With Friends
In April 2014 About With Friends launched Clubs With Friends; a programme centred around helping youngsters with Special Educational Needs to access mainstream community activities.
Since its launch we have successfully helped a number of young people with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health conditions to become involved with local clubs and groups. This has included traditional Youth Clubs as well as specialist groups like Drama Clubs. We have also supported others in accessing voluntary work.
The project is continuing and we have room to take on more youngsters. Referrals can be made by the young person themselves or by their families or any professionals working with them. To qualify, the person must be between 13 and 25 (inclusive), have Special Educational Needs, and live in the North Norfolk area.
Those who have been on the programme so far have seen some of the following positive outcomes: • • • • • •
Being included in their local community Attending youth club/activity Family feel supported/ not alone Widened social opportunities More friends Improved self confidence
Please contacting Lucy Sait on 01263 515230/07778 653314 lucysait@aboutwithfriends.co.uk or via our website www.aboutwith friends.co.uk.

We can provide a tailored service to meet the needs of the individual. We will spend as much time getting to know the youngster as is necessary to find an activity or club that suits them. We can then continue to support them to access that club and help them build the confidence they need to access it independently. Additionally we can provide young mentors who act as role models.
