Cromer’s First Ever Soapbox Derby
Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent
Cromer’s First Ever Soapbox Derby was held to great attendance on Sunday 12th July. In front of an audiance to rival the Carnival itself, over 30 contestants launched from a ramp and down the slope of Runton Road to compete for several prizes in gravity powered Soapboxes, writes Isaac C-Knight. The Soapbox course included a chicane made from straw bales and a ramp to test the steering skills of each driver and the handling of their Soapboxes.

Cromer’s First Ever Soapbox Derby
Continued from front cover... The Soapboxes themselves were a spectacle. Some of the most memorable designs included a high performance bicycle hybrid, an ambulance Soapbox, a metallic model that literally gave off smoke - driven by Tim Wright

of Trunch, and a clever Steamtrain-esque Soapbox, representing North Norfolk Railways.
After a trial run of the course by rally cars provided by the Sporting Car Club of Norfolk, and some impromptu Mexican waves, the competition began in earnest.
perhaps marks what may become a familiar overture to Carnival Week in years to come.
The race has been planned for some time by the Carnival committee. After a Tim Wright of Trunch embarking the smoking suitable road with steel Soapbox a slope was found, the council granted road closure. This allowed the event to go ahead.

Times varied wildly from 1 minute 30 seconds to just 25 seconds. Despite the best attempts of the British climate, and the close calls of multiple runoffs, the day ended with a clear winner in each of the 8 categories.
Among the Winners were: “The Stig” in the Fancy Drress division, Tim Wright in the Village division - representing Trunch, and Fiona Barrs in the 16 to 17 year olds division driving the bicycle hybrid Soapbox.

Peter MacMillan of the White Horse, after winning the Pub division, entered the final standoff and became the overall winner and recipient of the Malcolm McGreadie shield prize.
Cromer’s first ever Soapbox Derby was a success, and
In the words of Committee Chairman Tony Shipp, who also provided the announcements at the event, “We are always looking for something a bit different to mark the next Carnival event, and the Soapbox Derby provided that, as well as an extension to the Carnival season”.
The Carnival Committee also chose to hold the day outside on a different day to Carnival week, to create a different association with the event and, in years to come more stalls and events are planned to help the Soapbox Derby become an event in its own right.

Chief organiser of the event Bruce Stratton and the Carnival Committee would like give special thanks to the Cromer businesses, who bought banners at the event, for their support, and also to the Sporting Car Club of Norfolk, who also provided the rally cars that debuted the track prior to the Soapboxes, and timed the races to a professional standard.

40 years of service to Aylsham
It is 40 years since the first Victoria Sandwich was sold at Aylsham’s Country Market!
In those days it was known as the WI Market (and many people still call it this) but it subsequently adopted the Country Market banner, part of the nationwide co-operative social enterprise which boasts 300 branches from Penzance in Cornwall to Ponteland in Northumberland and as far west as St David’s in Wales.
On 7 August, Aylsham Country Market will be celebrating its 40 year anniversary with a special morning featuring an array of tasters and special events, all open to the public. Held in the Town Hall from 8.30am to noon, there will be an Anniversary Cake, to be ceremoniously cut by one of the Market’s founder members, while current members will enjoy a lunch after the Market has closed.
On the Friday before these celebrations, 31 July, youngsters are being invited to the Market to help make paper bunting which will be strung up in the Town Hall on 7 August. In addition, there will be a fun quiz to take away and bring back with the answers, again on 7 August, with a lovely
prize for one lucky winner.
Nowadays the produce on offer at Aylsham Country Market goes far beyond the Victoria sponges and jars of jam that were the staple of 1970s. These are of course still available but in addition you are likely to find quiches, steak & mushroom pies, carrot cakes and – a very recent addition – Brazilian dishes, alongside plants, flowers, vegetables and a wide selection of crafts, from greetings cards to knitted goods.
One thing that has not changed is the commitment to quality, homemade and home produced. Whether it is a sausage roll, a piece of fudge, a knitted sweater, a bunch of fuchsias or a cabbage, customers can be assured that they are buying something that has

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER GREEN MANURES
for example, or the frosted remains left as a mulch.
Readers might have noticed the ribbon of blue flowers flowing across farmland in Sheringham and Upper Sheringham. This plant is Phacelia tanacetifolia, which is not only attractive to bees but is a useful green manure. Green manures are fast growing plants sown to cover bare soil. Their foliage smothers weeds and their roots prevent soil erosion. When dug into the ground while still green, they return valuable nutrients to the soil and improve soil structure.
Green manures are useful on allotments or vegetable gardens and are usually sown in late summer or autumn and lock up ant nutrients, preventing them being washed away by winter rain. When dug in the following spring they release nutrients back into the soil. Green manures can also be used to cover bare patches of soil in the spaces between crops, or during intervals between one crop and the next. Fast-growing mustard sown before midSeptember can be incorporated in October,
Summer-grown green manures such as buckwheat and fenugreek form dense foliage that will effectively suppress weeds. Green manures that belong to the pea and bean family have the additional capacity of storing (fixing) nitrogen from the air to their root nodules, but only in summer.
Other benefits include protecting the soil from compaction by rain and shelter for beneficial insects such as ground beetles.
General advice on how to use green manures: • Sow seeds in rows, or broadcast them across the soil and rake into the surface • Once the land is needed for cropping, chop the foliage down and leave it to wilt • Dig the plants and foliage into the top 25 cm of soil • After digging in, the site should be left for two weeks or more before sowing or planting out as decaying green manures can hamper plant growth.
There are many cultivars to choose from, and the
following are some of those selected by the RHS: • Buckwheat: This half hardy annual will only grow well in spring and summer, best sown in April to August. Grows well on nutrientpoor soils. • Mustard: This annual crop from the brassica family should not be followed by other brassicas as it could encourage build up of the disease clubroot. • Grazing rye: This annual crop is good for soil structure and overwinters well; sow in August to November and dig in the following spring.
However there are a couple of potential problems –firstly, a dense carpet of green makes a perfect environment for slugs and snails, so control measures may be needed after green manuring and secondly, decaying green manures can suppress plant growth, so allow at least two weeks between incorporation and planting or sowing your vegetables.
Can I also remind everyone that the Sheringham Summer Show is to be held on 15 August in the Lighthouse Community Church, and although there are no prizes for green manure there will be classes for all sorts of vegetables as well as fruit, flowers, pot plants, cookery, handicrafts and flower arranging. Further details are available from the Show Secretary, Jo Hayton, on 01263 821463. Bob Wilkinson

Summer Exhibition
The Summer Exhibition at The Gallery Norfolk features a wide range of oils, watercolours and silkscreen prints by our most popular artists , most of which has been inspired by Norfolk landscapes, seascapes and nature.
Taking pride of place is Leon Bunnewell; the galleries top-selling artist - Leon has been painted a series of new oils of the North Norfolk Coast. Also
his daughter Ruth Bunnewell (a rising star in the British landscape artist scene and featured in the July 2015 House and Garden magazine) has turned her attention to the Norfolk coast for the first time with new works of Holkham and Wells. There are a wide range of quirky watercolours by Norwichbased Eliose O'Hare and limited edition prints from other gallery favourites such as Andy Lovell, Chris Wormell and Sarah McMenemy.
It has always been part of the gallery's policy to make fine art affordable so prices range from £30 to £1,000 in the show.
ART EXHIBITION by Samuel Thomas
Celebrated Norfolk artist Samuel Thomas unveils an exciting and refreshing array of colourful pop-art inspired Norfolk Landscapes at an exhibition at the Red Lion Hotel, Brook St, Cromer from 14 – 31 August (10am – 8pm each day). The artist’s distinctive and contemporary yet timeless paintings are collected all over the world with limited edition signed prints starting at £95 each.
The Cromer-born artist opens his large 18-day solo exhibition co-inciding with Cromer Carnival. On display will be his vast portfolio of artwork alongside some new original paintings, one of which will be auctioned off in a silent-bid charity public auction. The highest bidder becomes the proud owner of the artwork knowing that the total sum will be donated to Cancer Research UK. The new painting selected for this auction is valued at £1400 by the gallery that represents the artist.
‘With the large crowd of people expected we are hoping the final selling price will be much higher’ explains the artist. ‘By supporting such valuable charitable causes I know that my artwork will make a real difference to everyone’ adds Samuel whom regularly sells artwork to clients as far as the USA and Japan.
Samuel prides himself on being a self-taught artist and he has developed a refreshing painting style that is truly unique, euphoric and mesmerising. This v aried exhibition showing vibrant Norfolk scenes designed to lift your spirits will show around 25 original paintings ranging from very small to large statement pieces from £395 up to £1500. Limited edition framed and unframed prints starting at £95 will be available alongside a large range of greeting cards. Samuel captures a sense of nostalgia in his works similar to the now iconic ‘Come to the Seaside’ rail posters of the 1920s but with a modern twist. These are not backwardlooking pastiches, but aspirational projections of the self into a better future.
The informal exhibition welcomes everyone and the Red Lion bar and restaurant overlooks Cromer’s seafront. All of the artwork is available to purchase at the exhibition but you can also order online at www.samuelthomasart.co.uk Entry is free.

ALL CAR SIZES AVAILABLE + AUTOMATIC & ELECTRIC VEHICLES OUT OF HOURS SERVICE ONE WAY RENTALS MEET & GREET 'Afloat & Ashore' is a 144-page hardback book on the work and life of Norfolk printmaker HJ Jackson (John to his friends). As well as a 24page biographical section, illustrated with images from his youth and examples from his early portfolio, the book gathers together the bulk of John's fantastic linocuts of fishing boats, railway buildings, Norfolk landmarks and glimpses of a Norwich long since lost to redevelopment. Detailed captions explain the stories behind the prints, and John's highly individual printmaking technique is set out - including the fabled tobacco tin used to burnish his prints.
This book is a must for anyone interested in the work of this master craftsman; in fact, it’s a must for anyone who loves art and/or Norfolk!
“If you love linocut you'll be blown away by the colour palette and depth of detail John captures....you really will be able to smell the sea.” (Helen Lawson) Available now from Gallery Plus on the Coast Road in Wells-next-the-Sea 01328 711609 info@gallery-plus.co.uk www.gallery-plus.co.uk

NNDC Chairman pledges to raise funds and awareness
FREE
The new Chairman of North Norfolk District Council has pledged to fundraise for two charities that help local people.
VALUATION
Cllr Annie Claussen-Reynolds has chosen to support The Wensum Centre, a mental health charity in Fakenham, and the Benjamin Foundation – specifically the three Foundation projects:
• BOOM! – a young carers support and activity group • Steven Newing House in Fakenham, which offers accommodation for young people • Ben’s Workforce, a service for people in north Norfolk aged over 65 who need someone to do small maintenance and repair jobs around the home.
Cllr Claussen-Reynolds said “I am really keen to raise awareness and funds for these two very deserving causes”.
Debbie Brown, Co-ordinator at The Wensum Centre said “We are extremely pleased to have been chosen by Annie. It will make a huge difference to our work, raising awareness and provide much needed publicity”.
Chief Executive Tony Ing of the Benjamin Foundation added “We were absolutely delighted when we heard that The Benjamin Foundation had been chosen by Cllr Annie Claussen-Reynolds as one of the NNDC Chairman’s Charities for this civic year. We never take our support or supporters for granted and are always most grateful when we do receive this recognition from people and organisations who share an interest in our passion for helping vulnerable people in ways that provide them with hope, opportunity, stability and independence.
“I would like to personally thank Cllr Claussen-Reynolds for choosing us, in the knowledge this will help The Benjamin Foundation both in terms of raising awareness of what we are able to do and raising funds that will make a difference to the services we provide.”

Successful Court Action
The company which owns a former hotel in Sheringham has been taken to court for failing to improve the look of the building.
Huddies Ltd owns the former Shannocks Hotel in Sheringham. On Thursday 2 July, Company Director Andrew Roper pleaded guilty on behalf of Huddies Ltd at Norwich Magistrates Court to failing to comply with a notice issued under section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
North Norfolk District Council took the court action because the building is situated in a conservation area in a coastal town popular with tourists and there was concern that its appearance was unsightly and creating a blight.
Cllr Judy Oliver, Portfolio Holder at North Norfolk District Council said “The council had concerns that the building was in an unsightly condition and a blight on the area. Taking legal action is always a last resort but we will not hesitate to do so in the interests of the community.”
Section 215 authorises the council to serve a notice on the owner of land (or a building) where the condition of it adversely affects the amenity or the area. The notice requires steps to be taken to remedy the condition of the land.
The Council served a Section 215 notice on Huddies Ltd on 7 March 2014 with a deadline to improve the building’s condition by the 7 October 2014. After visits to the property in October and January, the building’s condition had not significantly improved.
Failing to comply with a notice to remedy the condition of land is an offence and this was another case considered by North Norfolk District Council’s Enforcement Board, set up to tackle this type of problem.
Following the guilty plea, the magistrates fined Huddies Ltd £900, ordered Huddies Ltd to pay the council’s prosecution costs of £2,700 and a victim surcharge of £90.

Dear Margaret,
I write on behalf of the Chairman, John Needham, and the members of Cromer & District Branch of the Royal British Legion to express our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to our Armed Forces Day exhibition on 27 June. We thank Brigadier Max Marriner who opened the event, and presented our children’s poster competition winner, Leah Banning, with her prize. We thank our exhibitors for a first class display, the Royal British Legion Women’s section for the excellent refreshments and JB Postles of Cromer for the loan of a TV and DVD player, which enabled us to put on a film show. A special thanks goes to all members of the public, both locals and visitors, who visited the exhibition, and showed their support for our Armed Forces, past and present. Yours sincerely, Robin Lilley, Vice Chairman

The pet photographic competition went well thanks to the able organisational skills of our programme co-ordinator Glo Begley. Everyone selected 12 favourite photos from those on show and the 12 with the most votes will then be made into a 2016 calendar. Much fun will be had selecting which photo will be used for which month.
As we shall have no meeting in August, our next will be on Wednesday 9 September, again at the Sports Pavilion and commencing as usual at 2.30pm. We look forward to an explanation of computer basics, or as the programme calls it ‘What do I do after I’ve turned it on?’!
The club welcomes visitors so do come along and join us. The entrance fee is £2 and includes refreshments. Raffle tickets are available throughout the meeting.

1940s Proms Party at Blickling Welcomes Cars from that Era The sights and sounds of the 1940s will fill the air on Saturday 8 August, when Blickling Hall plays host to the “Last Night of the Blickling Proms” for the 4th year and organisers are encouraging owners of classic cars from the era, to come along.
Lisa Ward from Revival Productions said “As well as having music from the 1940s and offering a prize for the best-dressed, we thought it would be fantastic to have a special area where these beautiful, vintage cars can be parked so that other concert-goers have the opportunity to admire them. We have had several enquiries and think it will be another popular attraction on the evening. Anyone who owns a vintage vehicle from around this time should enquire about parking when booking their tickets through the box-office.” John Postle from Aylsham is looking forward to coming along in his MG TC (pictured). He has owned the car for over 20 years after trading in his Austin and Healy Sprite in order to take ownership. “She was in quite good condition and I had always wanted one so when the opportunity presented itself, in Norfolk, I had to go for it! There aren’t many about as they were scrapped during the war for their metal and parts”. John’s interest in cars goes back to when he was 14 years old and his prize possession is a Triumph Gloria. “When I was growing up, our family car was a Triumph Gloria and as my interest in vintage cars grew, I was determined to try and find my father’s pride and joy and I did. I bought her in
1968 and I still have her now along with all the original paperwork.” John has lived closed to Blickling all his life; his father was a radio engineer in the war and was stationed in nissen huts on the Blickling estate. The family have a strong local connection, as John explains: “My father started the Postles electrical business in 1922 and it has remained in the family ever since and is run today by my daughter and son, Nikki and Jonathan. “We’ve been involved with the proms event for the last four years and if previous events are anything to go by, it will be a fun evening. I’m looking forward to coming along in the MG and seeing some other classic cars too.” Postles have four branches in North Norfolk including Aylsham, North Walsham, Cromer and Sheringham and are the main local stockist of Stoves, this year’s title sponsors. Raffle tickets will be available to purchase in the Postles’ marquee on the evening and the winner of a brand-new Stoves cooking appliance will be drawn out of the hat during the interval. The evening will start with a choreographed air display by the Grace Spitfire, to Ron Goodwin’s “Battle of Britain”, which will then lead in to other well-loved music from the era including “Moonlight Serenade and “We’ll Meet Again”, made famous by Forces’ Sweetheart Vera Lynn. The 2nd half will include the rousing sounds of “Rule Britannia”,
“Jerusalem” and “Land of Hope & Glory”. There will also be a Gipsy Moth fly-past and a grand fireworks finale. Music will be by Sinfonia Viva, led by conductor Roderick Dunk. Parking is FREE and guests can bring flags, bunting, picnics and wine and soak up the atmosphere with friends.
Tickets (£33 in advance; £36 on the night) available at www.revival-productions.co.uk or the box office on 01263 223500; group discounts available.

Cromer and Sheringham Probus Club
Our speaker at the July Lunch was Chris Branford who gave us a fascinating and well- illustrated talk on Paxton’s Crystal Palace.
Joseph Paxton, born in 1803, the 7th son of a Bedfordshire farmer, worked for the Horticultural Society of London before becoming Head Gardener at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. His achievements there included developing the Arboretum, the Emperor Lake and its famous fountain.
In 1850, his design for the Crystal Palace in South London was accepted. Building began straight away and it was opened by Queen Victoria Surround your day with elegance and the next year, to romance on your special day. celebrate the

Great Exhibition. Following a serious fire which destroyed the building, a new Crystal Palace was built and opened by the Queen at Sydenham in 1854. This survived until November 1936 when it was burned down.
Paxton’s other plans included the design of the Great Victorian Way, a ten mile circular shopping mall around London along roughly the same route of the present day Circle Line Underground, but this was dropped in favour of building London’s sewerage system following ‘the Great Stink’ of 1858.
Our next speaker on 4 August will be Ted Heath (no, not the former Prime Minister ) revealing the full truth behind Hypnosis. Could be eye-opening (or closing!)
Any gentleman who is retired or nearing retirement will be made very welcome at any of our lunch meetings at the Links Hotel, West Runton. If interested please have a look at our website www.candsprobus.club, for the latest information, or call Dave Vickery (Lunch Secretary) on 01263 824 306
The Art House Café
now open at 10 High Street, directly opposite the church in the heart of Cromer, is the joint venture of Liz James and Andy Senior. Having recently relocated to Norfolk from Suffolk they have transformed the former ladies clothes shop into a light and airy space and serve delicious coffee, teas and cakes that can be enjoyed whilst viewing the talents of contemporary East Anglian artists work on display.
Showing a wide range of mediums from watercolour and oil paintings, ceramics, glass, driftwood art, jewellery, silk scarves and greetings cards there is something for everyone to enjoy. And with the display changing throughout the year there will always be something interesting to see and buy.
The current exhibition 'Across the border' features some of Liz's own work together with paintings by Cyndi Speer, Ruth McCabe and Nat Young, ceramics by Usch Spettigue, glass work by Hazel Burnham, jewellery and silk scarves by Ruth Carter and driftwood art by Edmund Oxborrow. Liz said "We are in a great location in the centre of town with a lovely view of the church and people seem to be finding the space calm and relaxing."
Having talked about running a gallery and coffee shop for several years, Andy and Liz have now turned their dream into a reality and look forward to welcoming you to the Art House Café and becoming part of the Cromer community.
They are open every day Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. For further information email info@arthouse-cafe or telephone 01263 649856.

£2,000 Raised at Rotary charity cabaret evening
A fundraising Cabaret Dinner organised by the Rotary Club of North Norfolk was held at the Links Hotel, West Runton earlier this month. Over 100 guests thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to the excellent entertainment provided by Dale Bullimore, a Michael Buble tribute singer.
Alastair Mayes, President of the North Norfolk Club, thanked the many who contributed to success of the evening, and in particular Keith and Denise Woodcock who very kindly sponsored Dale. It is thought that the event will have raised in excess of £2,000. These funds go President Alastair Mayes (right) towards helping local charities, with Dale Bullimore and also towards helping worldwide disasters such as the Nepal earthquake by sending shelter boxes and other aid.
Although small, the North Norfolk Rotary Club is a very active club and is always looking to recruit new members of either sex, with time to spare to enjoy the fellowship and who can contribute their skills and

Recycle Your Unwanted Textiles in New Banks People in North Norfolk are being encouraged to recycle their unwanted textiles, rather than letting them go to landfill.
A new contract has just been awarded for textile banks in North Norfolk District Council, Breckland Council, Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Broadland District Council. Cookstown Textile Recyclers will now provide and maintain bring banks and collect textiles from approx 75 sites across Norfolk. To find your nearest textile recycling point, visit ww.recyclenow.com/recycling-locator, which includes a postcode search function which can list all local recycling facilities.
Once collected, the material will be taken to their depot in Hertfordshire, where it is bulked up and transported to the sorting facility in Ireland. These new lime green banks will take all clothing, shoes, bed linen, towels, curtains, belts, handbags, hats and scarves. Good quality items and clothes that are no longer wearable can all be placed in the banks.
Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, Portfolio Holder at North Norfolk District Council said “I am pleased that this new contract will offer residents yet another way to recycle their unwanted clothing and help North Norfolk increase our household recycling rate. As well as this new service, we would also encourage our residents to continue to donate high quality clothing to local charity shops who rely on donations to carry out their vital work.”
Peter Fisher, Operations Manager at Cookstown Textile Recyclers, said “We are delighted to have won the contract for the four Norfolk councils and will work to provide an efficient service. We hope members of the public will support the textile banks and save materials from going to landfill.” If you know of a suitable location for a textile bank, please contact North Norfolk District Council on 01263 516195.
Cookstown estimate that 65pc of the materials will be sent for re-use in Africa and Asia, while the other 35pc will be sent to pulping mills in the UK, to be used as fillings for mattresses etc.

CARRY ON, SARGEANT! Local Guitarists Celebrate
Trinity Guildhall Exam Results
A packed Copeman Centre at Briston thrilled to the amazing musical talents of organist and keyboard virtuoso James Sargeant on Friday 3 July!
Playing the diminutive Hammond SK2 organ, he took us on a musical journey through the years, from the sounds of the early Hammond organs of the 1930s via the Big Band sounds of the 1940s and '50s, right up to modern pop ballads, some exquisite modern jazz, a few numbers by the Carpenters, and ending with the wonderful 'MacArthur Park'.
Anyone who’s ever learned to play an instrument will know just how much time and dedication is involved, but for those working towards graded examinations there is also the added pressure of having to perform in front of an examiner.
James has worked for Hammond in the past, but now uses his talent with the Yamaha musical division in the UK. It was a truly super show, and as usual, the proceeds from the Raffle and excellent refreshments benefited the Copeman Centre's own fundraising to the tune of £166.40, and our Vera, who has a stall fundraising for the 'Orbis' Flying Eye Hospital charity, made a creditable £72.60 from her sales of greetings cards, jams, and plants.
The next show is on Friday 21 August, when the very capable organist and very humorous Paul Carman, will be with us once again, putting one of the latest Orla organs through its paces. Last time he visited we were packed out, as he is such a popular entertainer. If you like the best music to suit all tastes, played live on an amazing digital instrument that can produce sounds ranging from Big Bands, lush Symphony orchestras, theatre organs, or a trad jazz band (or just about any other musical style as well!) do come and join us. The Copeman Centre is a very comfortable venue, with wide easy access, and free parking right outside. Tickets are just £6, and if you want to bring music-loving under-16 year olds with you, they get in ABSOLUTELY FREE, as long as you mention this when booking your tickets - which you can do by 'phoning Carol anytime on 01263 860844. The show starts at 7.30pm, doors open at 7pm, with a break for refreshments and raffle from 8.30pm until 9pm. Hopefully you might come and join us for a great night out!
Earlier this month, five of my students did just that when they sat their Trinity Guildhall Classical Guitar exams, with outstanding results.
William and Robert Riches passed their Grades 4 and 7 respectively with Merits, while Stan Cooper, Benedict Bonham and Sam Briggs all passed the coveted Grade 8, with Ben achieving a Merit and Sam being awarded a Distinction.
I am extremely proud of each and every one of them, all of whom I’ve taught from the very beginning of their studies, and consider it a real privilege to be able to nurture and inspire all of my students on their musical journeys through life. Tim Mason MISM, Classical Guitar Tutor, (01263) 768056

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Thankfully, the phone is working at present, although Stephanie has been advised that a new line needs to be fitted as ‘wear and tear’on the existing one has been the cause of the problems.
Most people are now aware that all our cats and kittens are either micro chipped before leaving for their new, or when they return to the vets for their second vaccination. However, they may not know that as well as chips migrating to other parts of the body, they can also come out or fail to register after a period of time (although this is quite rare). We recently re-homed a cat which had been micro chipped some time ago and confidently registered the said chip to its new owner. However, when he was taken to the vets by his new family, the chip could not be found. Fortunately, the family contacted us and we were able to arrange for him to have another chip inserted. As it takes very little time to run a scanner over an animal, vets are generally happy to do this when it is taken for treatment or annual vaccinations.
Fortunately, problems with micro chips do not occur that often, as
illustrated recently when I received a call from one of our fosterers. She had been contacted by someone who had recently seen a ‘new’ cat appearing in her garden and, armed with her scanner, she went to investigate and discovered the cat was fortunately chipped. By checking the number on the chip registration website, I saw that the cat had been registered as missing and we were able to contact the owner, who was delighted to be reunited with her pet, which had been missing for just over a month. Ann, pretty little cat It is such a lovely feeling for all concerned with a lovely white ruff when this happens.
If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.
If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

Guy and Rosie get Hitched at Cromer
When Guy Bartlett and Rosie Inglis announced to their friends that they were getting married and were having a western style wedding, it got one or two members of the Overstrand Players thinking.
Guy wrote and directed the last Overstrand Pantomime, ‘Jack and Alice in Overstrandland’, and of course, being a panto, it had a happy ending when in this story the panto cow delivers a gold cowpat brought on stage on a snow shovel! So, a guard of honour formed by members of the cast was planned, holding aloft golden cowpats on shovels much to the surprise of the bride and groom.
Categories include: Best sausage catcher Best 6 legs Fastest run down temptation alley And many more! Judging by the Carnival Queen
Entry forms available to download from www.miramarvets.co.uk or from the Carnival Caravan in the town in advance.

The wedding, which took place at North Lodge Park on Saturday 11 July, was attended by some 50 gun-totting cowboys and cowgirls in glorious sunshine and was followed by a reception at Northrepps Cottage.
The western theme also caught the imagination of the Maretts Chariots Coach Driver, Daniel Chamberlain, who donned western outfit.

‘Boobie cake bakes’ theme for Addenbrooke’s Breast The annual Addenbrooke’s Breast Cancer recently revealed there are 10 different breast Cancer Appeal Appeal has been launched in support of tumour types, which are related to patients’ 59 Priory Close, Beeston Regis, Sheringham NR26 8SL
Hayes + Storr – All you’ll ever need!

breast cancer patients at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
The Appeal, organised by Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT), asks people to get together with family, friends, work colleagues or fellow students on Friday 23 October for a fundraising afternoon tea party. This year the theme is ‘boobie cake bakes’ and people are encouraged to bake boobie-shaped cakes of all varieties.
Proceeds from the Appeal will be used to support the charity’s ‘Bracode Campaign’; a world-leading five-year research study taking place at Addenbrooke’s, which could make personalised breast cancer diagnosis and treatment a reality.
Michelle Gray, ACT’s Head of Community Fundraising explains: “Researchers at Addenbrooke’s are amongst those who have
DNA profiles. Changes in the DNA can be regarded a little bit like barcodes.
“It will cost £5,000 for the DNA sequencing, assessing and monitoring of each patient in the study. Through the Addenbrooke’s Breast Cancer Appeal we hope to raise £50,000 to enable 10 patients treated at the Cambridge Breast Unit to take part and help change the future of breast cancer.”
Addenbrooke’s Breast Cancer Appeal tea party hosts will receive a party pack including balloons, banners and pin badges. If they register before Friday 4 September they will be entered into a prize draw for an afternoon tea for two at Hotel Du Vin, Cambridge.
To order your Addenbrooke’s Breast Cancer Appeal party pack or for details on any other events go to www.act4addenbrookes.org.uk/ ABCappeal, call 01223 217757 or email communityfundraising@addenbrookes.nhs.uk.

Ramblers launch national Big Pathwatch Scheme
Can you help provide information about your local footpaths? The Ramblers have this month launched the Big Pathwatch scheme which allows members and non-members alike the chance to help provide a snapshot of footpaths across England and Wales. Using an app or the web-site volunteers can pick a 1 km grid square and then report any problems with their local footpaths as well as highlighting wonderful things seen along the route. Many members from the ten Ramblers groups in Norfolk have already selected squares but there is much more to do to ensure that this survey comprehensively reports on the state of footpaths in the county. The information will be used both locally and nationally to ensure that footpaths remain accessible and open. Visit ww.ramblers.org.uk to sign-up in what is the biggest project looking at the state of the country's footpaths that has been undertaken. Ce le

thatch and moss. The more the club understands about maintaining the green the better it looks and ‘runs’. The County Federation Premier team only had one game in this last period and were disappointed to lose a close game away against Lakeside 4 – 5. 4 games now remaining. Roger and his NANSA team travelled to Sheringham Morley but lost 2 – 6 to the Panthers. However they followed that with a home game against Overstrand which they won with a convincing score 6 – 2. Next it was an away game against local rivals Suffield Park Eagles which resulted in a 4 – 4 draw. Roger is a master at organising the team and the necessary transport, but had a problem when it seems he left all his paperwork at Cawston after the game which I reported last time. Thankfully all was recovered. The competition for the Ladies Rose Bowl had to be delayed from 22nd July and will now be played on Saturday 8th August. Bernice has made it quite clear that this date will not be altered – so there! Sorry if the change caused anyone any inconvenience. The other date in the next two weeks is the annual meeting between the Ladies and Gentlemen of the club. No holds barred but a good enjoyable afternoon followed by cakes and tea. Not sure of the format for this year but I am certain club members old or new will have a very enjoyable afternoon.

Tales from the Bowling Green ...
…and we did have some very hot days to entertain a number of our visiting teams. Players and spectators visited from Houghton On The Hill BC and Glenfield BC both in Leicestershire, and from, in the County, Watton (Loch Neaton) BC and Aldiss Park BC, Dereham. During this last game Captain of the day Frances introduced our new player Bernard Allard. The visitors made good use of the games to arrange visits to the End Of The Pier Show and visit numerous shops, cafes and restaurants in the town. Add this to the sun shining and Cromer was a very good place for them to visit – and spend their money! The various bowls leagues are approaching the end of their seasons. The Hansells League team visited Cawston BC and were well and truly beaten, although Richard and his trusty rink did claim one point for us in the 1 – 4 defeat. It may have been due to Phil the plasterer frightening his passengers on the way to the game. Apparently marks can be seen on the leather in the Audi where they were clutching onto their seats. At home against County Arts ‘C’ the score was reversed as the team won 4 – 1. No travelling needed. Only two more games to go now! Captain John was really upset when Krissie broke his favourite Manchester City mug. The green has been running very well thanks to the time and effort put in by Neil in the regular cutting of the green. This is also due to the scarification which Neil, John and Phil carried out which removed a large amount of
