August bank holiday will see all the fabulously decorated ships wheels on display at the pier forecourt. There really are some dazzling designs and beautifully crafted specimens available to bid for at the Grand Charity auction, and all proceeds go to support local charities and good causes.

The World Pier Crabbing Championship takes place before the auction. It is great fun and always a hit with all the family.

There is a selection of prizes for the winners and a silver salver for the

North Lodge Park Cafe Cromer Reopens

The saga has, at last, come to the end – the community take on the cafe.

For over 15 months, during the protracted saga of a project to transfer ownership of North Lodge Park, Cromer, from the District to the Town Council, North Lodge Park has been neglected.

Maintenance has been at a minimum and facilities such as the café have been closed, resulting in a general air of neglect, and the Park – once the jewel in the Gem of the Norfolk Coast – has become an embarrassment to the town.

The community have become increasing frustrated, and, when the transfer project was stopped, they feared for the worst. Just what were the District Council going to do?

However, the District Council immediately contacted the Friends of North Lodge Park to see whether there was a way to make something happen in the Park this summer, and subsequently offered an immediate four month licence for the cafe to the Friends.

Taking up the offer on the café, the community spent all the next weekend in the café with paint brushes and cleaning materials. There was a constant stream of volunteers to help decorate the cafe and improve the surroundings, of donations of equipment to get the café up and running, and of messages of support.

It was an amazing weekend, with the community showing the passion they have for the Park and their relief that something was happening at last. Everyone, from the District Council to the community, have shown what can be achieved in such a short time.

The energy from the community has really given the Friends the positive message needed to go full steam ahead and open the café.

Your Vote Matters - Local residents to receive important voter registration information

Kelly Clarke

Households in North Norfolk will soon be receiving a form asking residents to check whether the information that appears on the electoral register for those living at their address is correct as part of North Norfolk District MOTOR SERVICES Council’s annual household enquiry canvass.

The aim of the form is to ensure that the electoral register is up to date and to identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.

With the Police and Crime Commissioner election taking place across the country in May 2016, this is an opportunity for residents to make sure that when the election takes place they will easily be able to take part.

Sheila Oxtoby, Electoral Registration Officer at North Norfolk District Council said “Anyone that wants to vote must be registered. To make sure you are able to have your say at the elections next year, be sure to respond to the form straight away.

“We have invested in new automated services to make this easier than ever; you can make changes online at www.registerbyinternet.com/north-norfolk or confirm details are correct by Freephone to 0800 197 9871. You can even now confirm details via text message. Full details on how to do this can be found on the front of your form. If you’re not currently registered, we’ll send you information explaining how to do this online or by post.”

It is particularly important that anyone who has moved address recently looks out for the form and checks whether they are registered. Research by the Electoral Commission indicates that recent home movers are far less likely to be registered than those that have lived at the same address for a long time. Be mindful that just because you have registered for Council Tax at a new address, this does not automatically update the electoral register.

Kay Jenkins, Head of English regions at the Electoral Commission said “The annual canvass is an opportunity for people to easily check whether they’re registered. It’s essential for a healthy democracy that everyone who is entitled to vote is able to, and for those who need to registering is now easier than ever with the online system of registration.”

“If you have changed address in the last year, it’s particularly likely that you will need to register at your new address, so check the form as soon as it arrives.”

Residents seeking further information or guidance are encouraged to visit www.northnorfolk.org/register to view frequently asked questions about the annual canvass and Household Enquiry New installations and full Forms.

Please telephone 01263 740797 or email admin@blakeneyhotel.co.uk

The guest speaker at the Cromer and Sheringham Probus Club lunch meeting on 4 August was 'Ted' Heath ( nicknamed after the famous band leader and not the former Prime Minister, we were assured!).

His subject was 'The truth behind hypnosis', a fascinating topic about which few of us knew anything, except as TV entertainment. The reality is clearly very different.

After a lifetime working in aeronautical engineering and later as an IT systems analyst, Ted followed up a boyhood interest in hypnotism, became trained and qualified as a professional hypnotist helping a wide range of clients overcome common phobias such as a fear of heights, dentists and spiders to name but a few. We learned that hypnotism can be used as an alternative to anaesthetics in minor surgery, a fact confirmed by one of our members who is himself a former surgeon.

This was a riveting talk, dispelling many of the myths surrounding hypnotism.

Our next speaker, on 1 September, at the Links Hotel, West Runton, will be Christine Adams telling us more about the extraordinary story when 'Mrs Savidge Moved her House'.

If you are retired or nearly retired, and maybe are relatively new to the area, and would like to meet a very friendly group of men for lunch and to hear our next speaker, please contact our Lunch Secretary, Dave Vickery on 01263 824306, or visit our website www.candsprobus.club

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER TEASELS AND OTHER FLOWERS FOR DRYING

This seems to be a very good year for teasels and they are abundant in gardens or in ditches or on waste land.

The teasel is named from the use of its spiny heads to ‘tease’ out the separate fibres of wool before spinning or to raise the pile or ‘nap’ of finished cloth.

There are several varieties and Richard Jeffries caught the architectural elegance of the wild teasel in an essay written in the 1870s: ‘The large leaves of this plant grow in pairs, one on each side of the stem, and while the plant is young are connected in a curious manner by a green membrane, or continuation of the lower part of the leaf round the stem so as to form a cup. The stalk rises in the centre of the cup, and of these vessels, there are three or four above each other in storeys. When it rains, the drops, instead of falling off as from other leaves, run down these and are collected in the cups, which thus forms so many natural

Cromer Times 476 August 22nd 2015

rain- gauges. If it is a large plant, the cup nearest the ground –the biggest- will hold as much as two or three wine glasses. The water remains there for a considerable time and it is fatal to numbers of insects that climb up the stalk and fall in. While the grass and the earth are quite dry, therefore, the the teazle often has a supply of water, and when it dries up, the drowned insects remain at the bottom like dregs of a draught the plant has drained. Round the prickly dome-shaped heads, as the summer advances two circles of violet-hued flowers push out from cells defended by the spines, so that, seen above the hedge, it resembles a tiara; a green circle at the bottom of the dome, and two circles of gems above.’

This teasel water or ‘dew’ has always been thought to have rejuvenating powers and in the eighteenth century was believed to remove freckles.

Teasels are one of many wild and garden flowers that can be dried for decorative purposes around the house and the following tips might help to grow and dry flowers such as larkspur,helichrysum, statice, lavender and grasses.

• Sow seeds of annuals in spring in straight rows, so you can spot weeds easily

• Give plants a regular feed for maximum production

• Pick flowers when open and at their best on a sunny day after the dew has dried

• Keep picking as flowers grow. The more you pick the more the plant will produce

• During wet periods, deadhead the flowers

• Once picked, snip leaves off the stems and tie into bunches

• Hang in a dark, well-ventilated shed or room, so colours stay bright and flowers don’t rot

At the National Trust’s Cornish property of Cotehele they create a fabulous 60ft garland of dried flowers grown in their garden

Shantymen 25th Anniversary Gig St Peters Church Sheringham

During 2015 the Shantymen are celebrating their 25th anniversary having started in 1990. Musical Director Brian Farrow said “There was no definitive start date we just morphed from an unruly group of singers and musicians into a slightly less unruly group of singers and musicians but with a name!” Twenty five years later they are still going strong.

In order to celebrate this auspicious 25th Anniversary they planned to do two special gigs in Sheringham and one at the Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier. Secretary Dick Grieve said “We propose to tell the story of the road we have travelled and include a few well-placed anecdotes from our resident comedians.”

The first gig was at ’The Lighthouse’ Community Church on Saturday 30 May, which proved to be very popular.

The second celebratory gig will be at St Peters Church at 7.30 pm on Saturday 22 August. Entry will be free and there will be a retiring collection in aid of the St Peters. Chairman Bob Hawkins said “We wanted to make these gigs a bit special so we have designed a slide show to run in parallel with the gig which shows some photographic details of people and places in our 25 year history.”

The third gig will be at Cromer Pier Theatre on 6 November and will feature a well known local celebrity, more of which later.

They also plan to make another CD late this year or early next, which will feature their favourite and most popular songs. Booking Secretary Chris Dolby said “The Shantymen are going to make a list of their twenty four favourite songs and will then choose the most popular ones for the CD. However we thought the public might wish to have an input into what’s on the new CD so we are inviting them to let us know their favourite songs which we have recorded.”

Cream Tea Fundraiser

Friends and neighbours of Mrs Ruth Bird of Southrepps, flocked to her home earlier this month to support the Cromer based charity About With Friends. One of her friends has a grandson with a learning disability who attends the charity every day and Mrs Bird wanted to raise some money for them. This is the third year that she has opened up her house and garden to the public. A beautiful array of treats were on sale including homemade Scotch Pancakes with cream and jam and cakes of various types. There was also a tombola, a raffle, and a Guess the Weight Of The Cake competition as well as a more local-flavoured Name The Crabs contest.

Fine weather helped make the afternoon a success and £180.50 was raised for the charity. About With Friends is a fun, active and energetic charity based in Cromer. We offer children, young people and adults with learning disabilities the chance to lead the lives they choose. When they become part of our family they have opportunities to develop lasting friendships; engage in fun and active social activities; get involved in the community; have the chance to try new experiences; learn new skills both for life and work; but above all feel a valued part of society while enjoying life to the full.

North Norfolk's Got Talent

Hot on the tails of the completion of the national television programme, North Norfolk has its own opportunity for local acts to show their talents and the chance to hit the big time!

Starting in September, heats will be running across North Norfolk, from Holt to Mundlesley, and from North Walsham to Sheringham, with the Grand Final of North Norfolk's Got Talent (#NNGT) in Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre at the end of October. The talent competition is open to all from song and dance acts, to magic and comedy. "We want to give artistes from across North Norfolk the chance to show what they can achieve," said Annie Lloyd who is organising the competition, "We know how much talent there is in North Norfolk and we want to give people the chance to show what they can do".

"We are hugely fortunate to have this event supported by legendary producer, musical director and Ivor Novello award-winner David Mackay, and Anna Mudeka Southburgh Festival of World Music organiser and musician," Annie continued. As well as being a judge at the final, David Mackay will introduce the winner to his contacts in the industry as well as take the winner behind the scenes at the production of his major musical production of 'The Elvis Years' which comes to The Pier Pavilion Theatre on the evening after the #NNGT final - truly a Money Can't Buy Prize.

Planning for the competition is well advanced, and will step up a gear over the coming weeks. If you would like to take part in the competition or you can think of someone who you feel deserves to be, full detail are on the website nngt.uk. You can also find contact details there if you would like to help as a volunteer or sponsor all or part of the competition. #NNGT is being organised by the Coast Arts Festival in conjunction with Arts North Norfolk, Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre and Art is Medicine.

Dear Margaret,

Could I please through the Cromer Times thank all the members of the public who supported Halsey House’s Annual Summer Fete on 8 August. The amazing total made was £4,866 including donations given on the day. I sincerely thank the ‘Star of the Day’ Ross Kemp for opening the fete particularly with his busy schedule of filming - he was such a gentleman and had time for everybody, The RBL bikers who arrived on mass and Nobby Clarke for bringing his World War II jeep. Finally my heartfelt thanks to staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make it happen and all the donations of gifts, cakes and prizes for the day - you are truly wonderful people.

Sally Mills, Home Manager

Dear Margaret,

Trunch Open Gardens & Scarecrow Event.

May I through your publication thank everyone who came to our Trunch Open Gardens and Scarecrow Day on Sunday 19 July.

We had a fantastic turnout of people and the sun certainly shone on us. We still have some monies to come in but we know we have raised in excess of £3200.00 to go towards Trunch Village Funds. The winners of the scarecrow competition made a scarecrow based on Frozen and they received a voucher for £20 for their efforts. A big congratulations and thank you to everyone who made a scarecrow, opened their gardens or held an event on The Paddock. A big thank you must also go to everyone who helped both before and on the day to make it such a success. Note for diary , next year’s event will be held on Sunday 17 July and we hope to see you all there.

Many thanks, Lyn Bothway, Trunch Open Gardens Committee

National Photo Competition Success for Barbara

Barbara Gardner, who lives at Aylmerton, has won a Highly Commended award in the International Garden Photographer of the Year Macro Art Project contest with her photograph of an anemone.

Barbara, who is a member of the North Norfolk Photographic Society, said “I only did it to see if one of my photographs got anywhere, with no expectations whatsoever so I was surprised when it got into the next round. Not sure what to say really as I have always enjoyed photography - this seems a bit more than I ever expected.”

Crabbie Comes Home

The Crab & Lobster Festival were delighted when they were offered the return of one of their original giant crabs recently.

The crab came from the first year’s festival art trail in 2010 and had been displayed outside for some time, but wind and weather had not been kind to Crabbie.

For the past month she has been undergoing a complete make-over - deep exfoliation followed by a thorough rub down and a bright new-look has totally rejuvenated this Cromer Crabbie!

She is now happily reclining in her very own deckchair in Cromer’s Tourist Information Centre window.

Crabbie’s carapace will be repainted each year to help promote the Festival activities.

Upcoming is the World Pier Crabbing Championships and Grand Charity Auction day on Sunday 30 August. More than 100 wonderfully decorated wheels will be sold to the highest bidder and all proceeds go to local charities & good causes.

THE CAT POTTERY - Winstanley cats have been made for the past 40 years, by Jenny Winstanley, assisted by her son Nick Allen and colleague Kim, both of whom have worked for the business for the past 30 years. All the animals, including the glass eyes, are handmade and hand painted, each one therefore being unique, making them highly collectable, in a range of sizes from the tiniest to life size. Although called the Cat Pottery, a complete menagerie is now produced, including hares, dogs, foxes, meerkats, badgers, lions, tigers, teddies, penguins and even the odd elephant.

Come and See a Record Breaking Doodle attempt

During the summer holidays children across North Norfolk have been asked to doodle a picture on a standard sized sticky-note.

It was all part of a challenge linked to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Reading Initiative, an annual event run though the local library service in conjunction with the Reading Agency, which this year was based around the Guinness World Records.

creativity in all its forms.

The doodles will now be brought together and attached to a piece of bunting. Hopefully, in doing so, they hope to create an unofficial record for the longest ever doodle in North Norfolk. They will be displayed around Cromer Pier on 5 September from 2pm and everyone involved with the record breaking challenge would love to see as many children, and adults alike, there on the day to help celebrate the achievements of those taking part.

Fear not, there may still be time to have a go yourself and to make your own contribution to this unique record attempt.

Either pop in a doodle to your local library, on a standard sized sticky-note, before 5 September or come along on the day.

There will also be the opportunity to see an extraordinarily colourful and huge loom band of over 20 metres in length, as created by the wonderful children who took part in a record breaking event held at Sheringham library as part of their Carnival celebrations.

Local illustrator Adam Faulconbridge ran eight free workshops, in all North Norfolk libraries, to help inspire the children to get creative over the course of their summer holidays.

Their hundreds of doodles were both imaginative and witty, demonstrating artistic flair and a great deal of perception.

A lot of fun was had by all, small, and big children alike and Adam, the organisers, and the local Library service would like to thank everyone that took part; as well as the owners of Cromer Pier for all their support and the generous use of the pier.

These workshops were sponsored by FALCON (www.falcon-norfolk.org.uk) which aims to provide opportunities for children and young people to engage with

Finally, just remember to join the stars of the Cromer Pier Show who will be unrolling the doodle masterpiece before they get ready for their 4pm matinee.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Although the phone line has still not been repaired, the temporary solution seems to be working so, hopefully no more problems.

I had intended to move on from the subject of neutering this time but a recent phone call brings up another challenge we face quite often with regard to feral/stray cats. Last year after several visits to a car park in Aylsham, we managed to trap an un-neutered female and her kittens. As the mother cat was young, we had intended to socialise her and find her a new home.

Unfortunately she was very unhappy being confined in a pen and took no interest whatsoever in her five week old kittens so the best course of action was to get her neutered. We were able to find someone who was prepared to offer her some shelter and to take responsibility for her once she was returned and, although still wary of people, she is happy with the life she now leads.

However, unbeknown to us someone living close to the car park had already taken one of the kittens, which had not been neutered and has now been abandoned it. Of course, inevitably, this little cat herself has now had kittens and we are back to square one. We were given to understand that there were originally two kittens although one has now disappeared! A trap has now been taken to catch mum and the remaining kitten, which is about six weeks old. It is so frustrating when this happens as you think you have solved a problem only to find its still there.

Cats Protection has recently been promoting the benefits of owning an older cat and, as we have several in care, we were delighted that the golden oldies were getting a special mention. Ivy, a sweet little girl who had been living as a stray, has now found a home and Tockey and Missy, who arrived because their owner could no longer look after them, have been reserved, and are just waiting for some decorating to be completed before they too leave. They go with clean bills of health from our vets and have been vaccinated, chipped, blood tested and had den-

Norfolk teenager and his horse Python invited to represent Great Britain in the U18 Eventing Development Squad

Charlie Jones, from Little Witchingham, and his horse Python (aka Sid) have been invited to represent Great Britain in the Under 18 Development Eventing Squad to be held at Millstreet, County Cork in Ireland, in August.

Next year, the 16 year old pupil who attends Gresham’s School in Holt hopes to reach the Long List for the Junior British team and ultimately to be selected to represent Great Britain at the FEI Junior European Championships.

Charlie and his horse Sid competing As well as competing for Great at the Barbury International Horse Britain, Charlie and Sid will be travTrials in Wiltshire in July elling to Weston Park, Shropshire, in October, to represent the East region in the KBIS U18 Regional Championships at the British Eventing Festival of Youth.

Charlie first sat on a horse at the age of one and has continued to develop a real love for the sport. Initially focussing on pony racing, he was crowned East Anglian Pony Racing Champion in 2009 and then shifted his concentration to eventing. Currently a pupil in Year 11, Gresham’s has given him tremendous support by allowing him time out of school to train and take part in competitions. Eventing involves all three disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross country and, as a result of his dedication to training, Charlie is now competing at high level events.

Charlie and Sid continue to prepare for the championships ahead. If Charlie realises his ultimate ambition of selection for Great Britain at the FEI Junior Championships next year, it will be a dream come true and a huge personal achievement.

A London-themed Major One-Man Exhibition by Trevor Woods at Gallery Plus, Wells-next-the-Sea. Saturday 22 August - Saturday 5 September An engaging colour field of London paintings.

This exhibition by local contemporary artist Trevor Woods explores graphic, abstract shape and colour around London above and below ground.

These paintings have allowed Trevor to push his style further in terms of creativity, but still hold onto his core principles regarding the way he paints and chooses subjects.

Air Line

26

Along with the central theme there will also be a selection of

paintings of familiar London landmarks, plus one or two surprises. As part of the exhibition there will be a series of 10 paintings that won’t be revealed until the opening day… so you’ll just have to come to the exhibition to see more!

Featuring over 50 brand new paintings, this is going to be an explosion of colour!

Of his paintings, Trevor says “My work has always been strong and graphic in style, featuring instantly recognisable scenes without the everyday clutter, which encourages the observer to look at everyday views in a new light. My style is always developing, and this year it’s become slightly more abstract, featuring flat areas of colour, broken up with rich painted texture and lines, but you can still see what is being depicted, and you can still see it’s distinctly my work;

I believe that’s something that my followers and collectors really appreciate.”

Mind the Gap

UNDERGROUND | OVERGROUND opens with an all-day preview on Saturday 22nd August from 10am-6pm, when Trevor will be present to welcome you with a glass of Prosecco, and continues until Saturday 5th September. Open Monday - Saturday, 10am-5pm, plus Sundays 23rd and 30th August 11am-4pm.

CROMER TOWN COuNCIL

4. In addition, the Town Council, during this period of negotiation, NORTH LODGE PARK, OVERSTRAND ROAD, CROMER, NR27 0AH was in direct consultation with the District Council Telephone 01263 512254 to obtain information on email clerk@cromertown.org health and safety matters www.cromertown.org Twitter @north_lodge relating to the various Contacts: buildings on the Park.

Julie Chance, Town Clerk Janet Warner, Deputy Town Clerk Unfortunately, the (Office hours Mon, Weds, Thurs & Fri 10.00 – 13.00) District Council were The Clerk and Deputy Clerk are often in meetings so it is recommended that slow in producing the you telephone or email to make an appointment before visiting the offices. practical information to the Town Council and in PRESS RELEASE some instances provided no information or did The Town Council is wholeheartedly pleased to not respond to request for information. The Town see moves to re-open the Café in the park as a Council were obstructed by the District Council community café on an interim basis, and allow from ever getting access to the closed buildings for limited responsibility for plant beds etc to the during the negotiations. This was unfortunate as Friends Of North Lodge Park alongside the wider the Town Council were unable to carry out their community. own inspections on the state of the buildings. As The Town Council wishes the Friends Of North far as the Town Council is concerned, this was a Lodge Park every success with this project and reasonable request to allow for planning and hopes to see the District Council move forward budgeting for the parks future. with a plan to maintain North Lodge Park as well maintained public open space for Cromer and its 5. Agreement as regards the main issues, visitors. including the area to be transferred was finally reached in March 2015, although the documentation 1. After discussion between North Norfolk produced by the District Council did not reflect District Council and Cromer Town Council it this agreement in all respects so the Town Council was agreed, in January 2014, that Cromer Town needed to negotiate further to protect their Council would take over the responsibility of position and the rate payers of Cromer.

North Lodge Park, Cromer. At the outset though, there was a difference of opinion has to how this 6. One of the main points related to the would be managed, as Cromer Town Council development of the Park and the District were looking for freehold transfer of the Council’s insistence of payment in respect of any ownership of the Park while North Norfolk such development. The Town Council was led to District Council were looking to grant a lease believe that the District Council had relaxed its for a limited period only. So further discussions position on this, but the District Council had, were needed to resolve this issue. without discussion, reverted to its initial stance.

This would have had the effect of sterilising the 2. In March 2014, North Norfolk District Council agreed that they would transfer the freehold use and improvement of North Lodge Park to a considerable extent. However, Cromer Town of the Park to Cromer Town Council and the Council were still prepared to take on the Park terms on which the transfer would be based were to be negotiated between the two Councils. These with this restriction on development. negotiations took a considerable time, as there 7. The District Council were not co-operative on were various issues that needed to be discussed other issues which would normally be dealt with between the parties, including restrictions on the by the transferor of any property and were slow in use of the Park and the liabilities to be passed providing information on request from the Town with the park. The District Council were seeking Council on matters concerning both title to the to restrict any development of the park by requiring Park and the pre-school buildings, which resulted a payment by the Town Council upon any uplift in in the Town Council taking on additional financial the value on any future development by Cromer obligations and having to undertake its own Town Council. This was important point for the enquiries in order to progress the transfer.

Town Council, as this would restrict Cromer 8. However, the Town Council were still fully Town Council's ability to upgrade facilities such committed to the transfer and confirmed this to as the toilets in the Park, and to expand the use of the District Council at the end of June 2015. the Park to include wider public and social use.

9. There were still matters under discussion 3. There were also long discussions as to when the District Council imposed an arbitrary how much of the Park was to be transferred, completion date of 21 July 2015, although there particularly as to whether the area known as the was no contractual obligation to complete by this Sunken Gardens or The Lily Pond, with the date and no explanation of why this date was Collectors’ Cabin, was going to be included in the required.

Cromer Town Council had already transfer. This had considerable implications for shown their commitment to the transfer, and the Town Council as this area was subject to a were prepared to take on heavier obligations, requirement to maintain the coastal path and part both in practical terms and in financial terms, of the cliffs. This was and should remain the than originally agreed and were working hard responsibility of the District Council and the towards completion.

Town Council needed to be assured that this

responsibility would not be carried over to it.

The District Council took several months to mark the boundaries of exactly what of North Lodge Park they would transfer to the Town Council.

This led to considerable delays which were further lengthened by the District Council changing their legal officers responsible for the transfer on several occasions.

28

10. All the papers were agreed the week before 21 July 2015 and had been sent to the Town Council for approval and signature.

On Friday 17 July, the District Council had demanded changes to the agreed papers after they had been sent to the Town Council to allow for access for coastal erosion works. The changes were allowed by the Town Council but the

District refused, despite repeated requests, to confirm whether or not they would extend the date of 21 July 2015 until 23 July 2015.

A special meeting of the Town Council to authorise this could not be held for legal reasons before 22 July 2015. (The Town Council is legally required to give four working days notice of such meetings.)

The District Council had been advised that the Town Council would be in a position to complete this matter on 23 July 2015.

11. Neither the Town Council, or their legal advisers, had any response from the District Council and the first that the Town Council knew that the District Council intended to withdraw from this matter was by way of a press release on [21 July 2015].

12. The Town Council was in a position, as it said it would be, to complete the transfer on 23 July 2015. However, on 23 July 2015, the District Council finally confirmed that it had refused to extend the deadline by the requested two days and refused to complete the transfer.

13. Obviously, Cromer Town Council was extremely disappointed by the behaviour of North Norfolk District Council as regards their withdrawal from this matter, but were also saddened by the fact that they would not be able to take on the ownership of the Park, which they had looked forward to with anticipation, with the prospect of making the Park a more vibrant amenity for the people of Cromer.

14. Cromer Town Council still requires clarity as to why the leader of NNDC, Cllr. Tom Fizpatrick, inaccurately claimed to the press and general public that the Town Council had made the request for a variation to the legal papers (see 10) allowing for coastal erosion works and were unable to allow for a two day extension to the 23rd July 2015 for a delay they, the District Council had in fact caused.

This could be a misunderstanding of the papers on the part of NNDC, but the effect made it impossible for the Town Council to take on the park before the deadline of the 21st July 2015 and they blamed the Town Council for this.

Cromer Town Council would like to make clear that the ‘deal breaking’ delay was caused by NNDC.

15. The Town Council has for a long time, been committed to the future of North Lodge Park, along with the preservation and improvement of other open green park space in Cromer. The Town Council administered to and paid for a Parish Poll (Referendum) in 2007. This overwhelmingly found Cromer wanted to keep its park from being turned into a car park. The Town Council has pushed for North Lodge Park’s future ever since and will continue to do so in future.

16. To re-iterate - The Town Council is therefore wholeheartedly pleased to see moves to re-open the Café in the park as a community café on an interim basis, and allow for limited responsibility for plant beds etc to the Friends Of North Lodge Park alongside the wider community. The Town Council wishes the Friends Of North Lodge Park every success with this project and hopes to see the District Council move forward with a plan to maintain North Lodge Park as well maintained public open space for Cromer and its visitors.

The Town Council will fight any reversion, on the District Council’s part to return to the idea of turning over North Lodge Park to a car park, which was previously their intention.

Tales from the Bowling Green ...

...where the hedges look smart and tidy having been cut by John, Krissy and Sue – a very family affair. The club have joined in the tidy Cromer campaign being raged on Facebook-Cromer. Trouble is John has ruined his bowling action as he has too much pain in his back and he thinks he has gout in his foot as well! Add to that Neil, Phil, John and Bob cutting and scarifying the grass and watering the green, even though the water tank is leaking, a lot of very hard work has taken place at the Marrams Bowling Green these last few weeks. Our first time visitors I mentioned last time, Russell Park, have already contacted us to request a similar fixture next year. How encouraging to all our officials and players to get such a lovely email from them “Thanks once again for your superb hospitality and we would like to repeat it in 2016”. We also entertained Wymondham Dell BC on a very hot Sunday afternoon. Great game, but have to admit they were too good for us that day and ran out convincing winners. We had a visit from Horsham St Faiths BC who normally play a bowls game called “Roving Cot” but we agreed that they would play our EBA rinks game on their visit and when we go to see them at the beginning of September we will play their game. Not many of our players have played this “Roving” game, I certainly haven’t so the afternoon should be interesting. Basically you can cast the jack anywhere on the green, you do not play up and down in rinks as we do. So with 5/6 rinks playing at the same time it seems carnage could result. However I’ll let you know after the encounter. The Hansells League, with the team Captained this year by John Blackburn, has now finished and the club can be delighted to have finished 2nd in the league. With a number of clubs having withdrawn from leagues

Getting Fit is for Everyone – thanks to BusinessEnterprise STart-up Grant

Keeping fit and active can be a struggle, especially when you may suffer from reduced mobility, and now new business North Norfolk Coastal Fitness is hoping it has the answer, thanks to a grant from North Norfolk District Council’s Business Enterprise STart-up. The new Total Low Impact Conditioning classes by Upper Sheringham NR26 8TU NorthHolt NorfolkRoad Coastal Fitness are designed to help people exercise daily from their chair or standing. The new exercise sessions have been made possible after North Norfolk Coastal Fitness received a grant from North Norfolk District Council Business Enterprise STart-up grant which helped pay for the fitness equipment. Anita Lusher from North Norfolk Coastal Fitness said “If people have a business idea then the grant is a good opportunity to get some funding and pursue your dream.” The classes are designed to exercise the feet, legs, hands, arms, back, eyes and neck; with people motivated to improve their circulation and movement by focusing on balance and co-ordination, and they are suitable for people with reduced mobility or illness.
