Loss of her mum inspires Norfolk woman Jessica to run the London Marathon

Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent

Jessica Sanderson took up running as a distraction after the tragic loss of her mum from a heart attack.

Now she is taking part in April’s Virgin London Marathon and is raising funds for national charity Heart Research UK to help in the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.

Jessica, a specialist clinical physiologist from Alby, is running the Virgin London Marathon on April 24 - the day she turns 30 - to raise money for national charity Heart Research UK.

Jessica raised over £500 for Heart Research UK when she did the Great North Run last year, and is now aiming to raise over £1,750 for the charity with the support of her family and friends, particularly her husband Paul and her daughter.

Loss of her mum inspires Norfolk woman Jessica to run the London Marathon

Continued from front cover...

The cause is one that means a lot to Jessica as she lost her mum, Annie, in 2013 to a heart attack aged 59 the same week she became a mum herself - and took up running to come to terms with her loss. Husband Paul lost his father to a heart attack in spring 2014, making the heart disease cause close to both of them.

She said ‘I took up running to give me time out, away from distractions and it turned into something I really enjoyed doing. I don’t just think of my mum, I think of all sorts of things and sometimes I think of nothing at all.’

‘Completing the London Marathon would be an amazing achievement and a great way to see in my 30s. After running the Great North Run I wanted to push myself that bit more, and complete a marathon. I really want to make sure my heart is as healthy as it can be and ensure I do what I can to be around for my daughter as long as possible.’

‘Losing family members has really highlighted just how important it is to look after our hearts and so we are all committed to trying to raise awareness and support Heart Research UK in all the fantastic work the charity does to promote heart health in communities and fund research.’ People can donate to Jessica’s fundraising on her Virgin Money Giving page www.justgiving.com/JessicaRoseMarathon

Heart Research UK National Director, Barbara Harpham, said ‘Jessica’s mother would be very proud to know that she is running the marathon. I have great admiration for her grit and determination to run the race. Jessica will really be helping hearts in Norfolk as we will make sure that the money she raises will be spent on helping people live healthier, happier, longer lives near her.’

Delicious Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

With half-term looming it’s time for a recipe that desperate parents can use to burn up a few rainy-day hours – and also create some gorgeous cookies for the whole family to enjoy.

They are, importantly, gluten-free, a diet which is becoming more and more prevalent and something which are are very aware of at the Grove. One of our owners’ children, Cameron, is on a GF regime and he absolutely loves the odd slice of head chef Mike West’s legendary gluten-free cheesecake, which comes in various flavours and is completely gorgeous.

We began the year with a return visit by Steve Barratt a retired Hotel Inspector.

We are now much better informed as to what we should expect when we `eat out`.

Steve concentrated this time on the restaurant side of Hotel and Bed and Breakfast hospitality. His interesting talk was interspersed with amusing anecdotes including some unbelievable scenarios that he had encountered during his long career in the hospitality industry.

Members fed back on the Christmas lunch which this year was at the Virginia Court Hotel, Cromer. Comments were very favourable and it would have scored highly on Steve Barratts scale of 1-5 in terms of quality and efficiency for the food, ambience and service.

In February we welcome Malcolm Hilson who will transport us to exotic climes with his talk on ‘The Banks and Torres Islands of Vanuatu’.

We welcome visitors and prospective new members (you don’t 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, except for February’s meeting, which is in the Methodist Church.

The January meeting was well attended with seven new members, despite the inclement weather.

Our speaker this month was Charlotte Philcox, a garden designer and gardening correspondent for ‘Let’s Talk’ magazine. Charlotte had kindly stepped in at the last minute to give the talk, entitled ‘Remedies and Rose Water’.

Charlotte spoke at length and with a deep interest in natural remedies for common ailments and conditions. She also covered the effectiveness of herbs in household chores and included a recipe for lip balm using almond oil, beeswax, honey and peppermint oil. Members’ own suggestions were welcomed and included using teabags for facial swellings, using duct tape to remove warts, and to much amusement, the many uses of the skin of a banana. Thanks were given by Judy Roberts.

Judy won first prize in the competition ‘a perfume bottle’. Second prize went to Eileen Tucker, and third prize to Liz Holhouse.

Cromer WI will be 80 years old in July 2017 and members were asked for ideas to celebrate.

Activities planned for the near future include a theatre visit and an evening at the dog races.

The February meeting will be held in the Community Hall, Garden Street. New members are always welcome on the second Thursday of the month at 2pm. The speaker at the next meeting will be Angela Reith from Age UK/Befrienders.

Sheringham Players Spring Production

After a very successful 2015, putting on a variety of plays which played to full houses and much acclaim, Sheringham Players are preparing for another year of drama, mystery, murder, comedy and mayhem.

To set off 2016, their spring production comprises an evening of two one act plays under the title “Practise Makes Perfect” and both are based around events that do not always go according to plan.

The first play, written by Lee Fewitt and directed by Hazel Randall, is entitled ‘Is There Anybody There?’, a drama set in late Victorian London where Mrs Carrington, a blind clairvoyant, summons the spirits for those who are willing to pay. Tonight, however, when one of the party is possessed by the spirit of a murdered girl strange happenings occur, when doors are locked and time stands still. Is it for real or are they being deceived? And is there a link to other murders that have happened in the area? Could any of those present be the suspect, or are there darker forces at work? Who is the killer? Will all be revealed, or will the spirits keep their secrets?

The second play, written by Paul Reakes and directed by Tim Travers, is entitled Bang! You’re Dead! and is a comedy mystery thriller. Lydia and her boyfriend Marcus rehearse the murder of Theo, Lydia’s husband, which they are to commit that evening. When the victim and “perfect witness” arrive all goes according to plan except that the wrong person ends up dead. A ghastly mistake - or are there some deviations from the original plot?

The performance runs from Thursday 17 - Saturday 19 March at Sheringham Little Theatre at 7.30pm and tickets are now available from the Box Office on 01263 822347 priced at £10.

Council Gains Gold in International Employers’ Award North Norfolk District Council Achieves Investors in People Gold Award

North Norfolk District Council has been awarded the Investors in People Gold Award for being an excellent employer.

Inspectors praised the Council’s culture of openness and trust, its socially responsible policies and practices, its approach to learning and development of staff and the work of the council’s staff focus group.

Gold is the highest level of recognition which organisations can achieve and is only given to those that are able to demonstrate a degree of excellence in the way they develop and support their staff.

The international standard has been awarded to the district council following an in-depth assessment carried out in December 2015 in which members of staff were interviewed by two independent assessors.

The report found that the Council had met 180 of 196 indicators and should therefore receive the Investors in People Gold Award. The council had previously been given a ‘bronze’ award by Investors in People in July 2013.

NHS Proposal

Norman Lamb’s proposals for a commission on NHS and social care opposed by the Government and Labour Norman Lamb, MP for North Norfolk and the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Health, has led a House of Commons debate on his proposal for the creation of an independent, non-partisan commission to examine the future of the NHS and social care services.

Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said “The Council is committed

Chief Executive Sheila Oxtoby added “I’m incredibly proud that we’ve achieved this award for the Council and more importantly for the residents and businesses that we serve. I would like to thank all the staff and believe it is well-deserved.”

In the assessors’ letter to the Council they state “The standard is a very challenging one to meet and is increasingly seen as a measure of a quality employer. Your success not only reflects your own commitment, but it is also an acknowledgement of the effort of everyone who works for the organisation.”

Carpets, Flooring and Blinds

The proposed commission has been backed by more than 50 organisations including the NHS Confederation and Royal College of Surgeons. Despite attracting cross-party support, however, the idea was ultimately dismissed by Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, Heidi Alexander, and the Minister of State for Community and Social Care, Alistair Burt.

FREE UNDERLAY, GRIPPER AND DOORBARS

While Ms Alexander cited “fundamental differences” between the political parties, the Government argued that a commission would not be necessary in light of NHS England’s five year plan for rescuing the health service.

Speaking after the debate, Norman Lamb said “Even though impressive Members on both sides spoke in support, it is extremely disappointing to watch the Labour leadership and the Government squander this historic opportunity. We know that the NHS and social care system is facing an existential crisis. My real fear is that elderly people, in particular, will increasingly not get the care they need. The reality is that all parties must join together in a spirit of collaboration, working through their differences to reach an agreement on the best way to tackle these challenges. Despite this, Labour appears to be more concerned with scoring political points, while the Government’s current strategy rests on the ability to deliver savings on a scale that is simply not achievable. I will continue to campaign for this commission with others of a like mind.”

The ten areas covered by Investors in People Standard are: • Plan – Business Strategy; Learning and Development Strategy, People Management Strategy; Leadership and Management Strategy • Do – Management Effectiveness; Recognition & Reward; Involvement & Empowerment; Learning & Development • Review – Performance Measurement; Continuous Improvement

to providing excellent services which offer value to money for our residents. Ensuring our people are equipped to offer a great customer service is crucial and it’s especially pleasing that the Council’s continual improvement has been recognised by the achievement of Investors in People Gold Award.”

Masons help Cromer Charity back on the road The Baring Lodge of Freemasons has presented Cromer-based charity About With Friends, a cheque for £525 to launch the fund to replace their fullyaccessible minibus.

About With Friends, who offer people with learning disabilities the chance to lead the lives they choose, run a range of services for people from the age of eight upwards. This includes social activities, respite breaks, supported living, and their ground-breaking Workskills programme where adults with learning disabilities are supported in commercial work ventures.

Baring Lodge now meets at Sheringham Masonic Centre but its roots are very much in Cromer. Founded in 1896 in the long gone Tuckers Hotel, the name Baring comes from the family who owned Cromer Hall for many years. The Lodge met in a succession of Cromer venues until 1986 when it moved to Sheringham. It has quietly been a part of the Cromer community and continues to support local and national charities, whilst maintaining its Masonic history and traditions.

The current minibus has clocked up more than 90,000 miles over the past six years and is due for replacement. As well as running staff,

volunteers and members of the charity around, it is also used in the community to pick up people for the lunch clubs that About With Friends run for the Over 55s and similar events. With a wheelchair lift on the back the minibus is a vital part of the charity’s fleet and will cost about £32,000 to replace so the gift from the Freemasons is a very welcome start to the fund.

Laser hair removal just got better

Try the latest, fastest, painless and most effective hair removal laser at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic. With up to 30% off during February there is no reason not to!

According to the latest research in hair removal, women shave 11,540 times in their lifetime and men spend 3000 hours on their shaving routine. It is no surprise then that a large number of people are turning to a long lasting solution for unwanted hair.

At the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS FPCert BCAAM treats patients not only from Norfolk, but also surrounding counties and abroad. True to his philosophy of offering best treatments and technologies he has invested in the best technology for laser hair removal.

We see patients in all age groups, both sexes and gender reassignment cases. We all realise the physical impact of unwanted hair, but when we dig a bit deeper it is quite heart wrenching to hear some stories. Often there is lack of awareness of laser hair removal and how effective it is.

Coltishall Clinic now has not one, but five different lasers for hair removal. One laser cannot work best for everyone. Hence, we have decided to have a range of lasers to provide best results to our patients and clients. Says clinic manager Trish.

How do we choose your laser? - we consider your skin type, hair type and body area to treat and then decide which machine will work best for you. You do need to have a proper consultation for laser hair removal. We also see people who can have medical reasons for hair growth and further testing or issues may need to be considered.

snap from a rubber band. A cool gel is used with IPL and cool spray with our laser, which is incredibly fast and allows us to treat a full back or lower or upper legs in less than 40 minutes. It is very safe and offers unmatched results. You can watch a video of this laser on our website.

To book an appointment call 0800 0430737 or log on to www.coltishallclinic.co.uk

Dear Margaret,

RUBBISH NUMSKULLS

Why can't folk dispose of their waste in the receptacles provided or take it home to get rid of it.

We cannot blame it on holidaymakers as there appears to be more rubbish dumped along the roads and lanes in the winter than the summer.

Tesco sandwich wrappers and bills dumped within a few yards of their door and bin.

Down the lane behind Mundesley Scout Hall, one can see pop and beer cans, plastic bags and bottles, tobacco wrappers, glass bottles and energy drink cans. It is a pity that the energy is not put into the muscle power needed to carry refuse to dustbins.

Down that lane, some dog walkers take the trouble to pick up their animals mess, very admirable, but why then throw that bag into the trees. This is shocking and disgraceful and this decoration offends.

Some councils want to record dog DNA to be able to prosecute owners who do not discard mess properly, what a great idea. One wonders if it could be suggested that everyone’s DNA is taken with a view to prevent these indiscretions. Derek

The “Cromer in Bloom Review” made inspiring reading. As a fairly regular visitor to Cromer one can’t help but be moved by the wonderful plant and flower displays that bring beauty and colour to the Town. (What a contrast to those people who engage in illegal fly posting or who drop litter!) Thank you Cromer in Bloom for all your hard work. Cromer is the better off because of you.

A Grateful Visitor. (name & address supplied)

The Coming of Spring

Green shoots are pushing through the snow Soon the crocuses will show. Bright yellow, mauve and white They will be a welcome sight. Then there will be daffodils To lift my spirits high, Last year I saw a field of them Against a bright blue sky. They will be growing everywhere A waving sea of gold. Daffodils bring happiness To both the young and old. Diane Berthelot

‘East Anglian Band Certainly Not Scruffy or Unkempt Musically!’

The folk-rock band from Essex Mawkin have been firm supporters and favourites of North Norfolk’s ‘Folk on the Pier’ festival for over ten years and during that time have progressed in leaps and bounds musically. Both individually and collectively the members of the band have collaborated and played with many of English-Folks’ top names as well as releasing an impressive catalogue of recordings, including their highly acclaimed new album ‘The Ties That Bind.’

The band’s name is derived from an Old English word for ‘scruffy or unkempt person’. Scott Butler, the producer of ‘Folk on the Pier’, says ‘when they first played the event in 2004, they were indeed a bunch of unkempt, though musically excellent even then, bunch of lads with great humour. Since

then their music has progressed to a very high level and there is certainly nothing scruffy about their playing, or indeed their appearance nowadays. Frankly they are one of Brit-folk’s brightest new guns!’

‘An Evening With Mawkin’ at Sheringham Little Theatre on Saturday 20 February offers a blistering 5-piece band fusing folk, blues and rock firmly on the cutting edge of the contemporary music scene and all the verve and mystique of ancient folk music traditions from across the globe. Expect rousing songs of rebellion sung by brothers David Delarre (Eliza Carthy, Tred) and fiddler James Delarre (Saul Rose and James Delarre, Topette) all underpinned by the virtuosic bellowing of Nick Cooke’s melodeon (Kate Rusby, Jim Moray) and a solid rhythm section with Danny Crump on bass and Lee Richardson (Diverted, Extreme Music) on drums.

Doors open at 7pm with the concert 7.30pm. All seats are £10 (Box office 01263 822347 www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com)

Better Services, Better Value for Money – DWP at Council Offices

Better services and better value for money will result from the Department for Work and Pensions move to North Norfolk District Council’s offices in Holt Road, Cromer.

The 14-strong team moved into the building on Monday 11 January and started to run their services from the Council offices on the same day.

A total of 170 m2 office space was created by moving teams within the existing building and reducing the need for storage space. This has enabled the DWP to have their own public waiting area, and for DWP clients to use the Council’s self-serve computers to access

services directly.

The DWP’s move from Garden Street offices in Cromer provides an opportunity to bring services together in one location. It will also help to reduce the cost of services by sharing the building.

Cllr John Rest, North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet Member for Assets said “As an authority we have to make the most of the resources we have, especially our offices. I’m delighted to be welcoming the Department for Work and Pensions to our offices in Holt Road.

“We know we need to operate as cost-effectively as possible, and sharing our office space is a good way to generate income and provide customers with a more joined up service. With the public services under one roof my hope is that it will be a lot easier for people to get the support they need.” Julia Nix, District Manager for the Department for Work and Pensions said “This is my second co location site to move into North Norfolk District Council’s Premises. By moving into the Local Authorities premises we willbe making more effective use of space and facilities, while making significant savings for the taxpayer.

“The move also represents an excellent opportunity for DWP to build stronger working links with North Norfolk District Council to work together to help our customers move closer to employment and provide a better all-round quality service”.

The Council office building, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, houses Norfolk County Council Children’s Services, the Early Years Intervention Team and eastlaw – the Council’s legal services company which sells its services to others.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

As well as several more kittens and young adults finding new homes since the last article our two oldest cats Bertie and Belle (12 years young) have also left for pastures new. It is fortunate that over 20 cats and kittens found new homes in January as, although we have been able to take some of the cats in from the waiting list, we need to have the two large pens at Dilham empty for a short while for essential maintenance work. The work should only take a few days so no doubt they will be back in operation by the next article.

Last time, we also mentioned the little blind girl and said that we were waiting the results of blood tests. These have now come back and we were pleased to learn that Rosie (previously Nala) is not suffering from any of the age related illnesses. David believes that the blindness is probably the result of another problem which cannot be treated. She has now settled in her new home and lives in a bedroom with her food and water bowls and litter tray nearby. She quickly found her way round the room and always uses the litter tray. Fortunately, her hearing is still good and she has, on occasion, ventured out of her special place to explore a little further. She is a very happy little cat and just loves all the attention she is now receiving; even though she is quite old and we do not know for how long her new family will have her, we are sure she will get the very best of care and lots of love. As most people who use Lyngate Road are aware, Sharon sells goods to raise money for the cats in care at her gate. Last year, although we mentioned that some articles had been stolen from the stall, she still managed to raise ÂŁ450 to add to our funds. We would like thank Sharon for all her hard work and also everyone who purchased goods, for their support. Sharon has advised that sales of goods will recommence in earnest once the weather improves. We look forward to your continued support.

Thank you to everyone who helped in my search for my cat Bruce (reported missing in the last edition).

I am delighted to say that a report of a sighting near Amazonia resulted in me finding him safe and well.

He is now safely back home with his sister in Reepham.

‘Race to Rio’ with Crayford and Abbs

Our objective is to raise over £5,000 between February and the end of April for the Paralympic association in conjunction with a national Nissan Fundraising initiative. We hope to achieve this by encouraging runners, cyclists and swimmers in North Norfolk (who record their mileages electronically and weekly) to complete in miles, the distance from North Norfolk to Rio - 5,876 miles and then match, via corporate and individual sponsorship a £1 per mile covered to raise over £5,000.

As an incentive for all competing athletes, we have a corporate hospitality box at the O2 Arena during this summer and the highest performing, cyclist, runner and swimmer and their partners, will be invited to join us, in our box, as our guests. We are delighted to confirm that Paralympics gold medal Swimme, Jessica-Jane Applegate, from Belton,

near Great Yarmouth, will be our ambassador for this event and will be visiting Bodham on the 13th February. Jessica competed in the London 2012 Paralympics and won Gold in the 200m freestyle and came fourth in the 100m backstroke. Her other achievements include the 2012 British disability champion in 200m freestyle and four gold medals at the 2013 British Gas International.

We are also delighted to announce local boxer Ryan Walsh, British Featherweight champion, is adding his support to our cause.

It is our aim to manage and co-ordinate a fun, rewarding and safe event, whilst raising a minimum of £5,876 for the Paralympic Association. Raising funds for the British Paralympic Association is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference to the ParalympicsGB team and directly contribute to the performances of

ParalympicsGB athletes in Rio. Not only this, but your money will also go a long way to inspiring a shift in perceptions of disabled people and the things they can achieve.

To also help raise funds, we will be holding a Gala Dinner with a guest speaker and auction at The Links Hotel, West Runton, on the 30th April and tables for this event are now on sale.

For more information on how you can help fundraise for the ‘Race to Rio’ or to book a table at the Gala Dinner, contact Crayford and Abbs on 01263 588160 or visit their website at www.crayfordandabbs.co.uk.

Why English law is good

Written by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr

Two recent but very different events have led me to write this article on how lucky we all are to have the English legal system. The first was, prosaically, a seminar on European succession law (in Norwich) and the other was reading an article on current problems with the Indian legal system (in India).

English legal system. However, in the 69 years since then there has been much divergence. The legal principles remain but the Indian Courts and the implementation of the decisions, apparently, leave much to be desired. On the principle of ‘justice delayed is justice denied’ the Indian system would appear to be failing. It takes years for a case to be heard and the system has become unwieldy and inefficient. Nine judges sit on cases heard in their Supreme Court and all nine of them give a judgement. Such judgements, when published, are sometimes as long as 900 pages for a single case. As cases take so long to be heard and even longer for the decisions to be enforced, there is a tendency for litigants to take matters into their own hands rather than wait any longer for justice to be delivered.

Let me start closest to home. The European Succession Regulations, which came in this August, and to which the UK has not signed up, allow a national of an EU state to choose the law which should govern the administration of their estate upon death. In addition to the forced-heirship rules, other foreign anomalies worth noting are: that marriage does not revoke a Will (including in Scotland, where the birth of a first child can do so); that in Italy lifetime gifts to children must be brought into account in distributing the estate upon death; and, that one can sign to forgo one’s inheritance (never straight-forward in fact and law, especially where some time has elapsed). Whereas one can request that English law applies to ones assets in other EU countries, because many civil law countries do not recognise trusts, seeking to apply an English Will containing a trust to EU assets may be complex and incur a double tax charge.

The English legal system is a high earner for the English economy. Litigants and companies from overseas come here to use our legal systems and our Courts. Rather than the codified rigid laws of Civil Law countries, we have the concept of ‘equity’, which combined with our law of trusts and flexibility in relation to Wills and property management, make our system highly desirable.

Yes, there is much to improve here in England. Our legal system is creaking with antiquated IT in the Courts and the threat of closure of our some Courts (King’s Lynn, being our local

So, what about India? Well, when the British left India in 1947, amongst the systems and structures that ‘we’ left behind was that of the

cause célèbre). However, we should appreciate what we have: it could be infinitely worse.

COUNCILLOR VACANCY There is currently one vacancy on Cromer Town Council arising from the resignation of Jim Bond. The notice of vacancy was published by NNDC and there was no call for an election. Thus the vacancy will be filled by co-option. Details of how to apply for co-option will be posted on the noticeboards and website. Mr Colin Robb has been co-opted on to Cromer Town Council to fill the vacancy arising from the resignation of John Rattle.

CROMER CEMETERY NO 1 SITE (NEAR ARGOS) 9am, Tuesday 01 March 2016 All the memorials in this cemetery will be professionally inspected and tested for stability. Members of the public are welcome to attend. Any memorials found to be unstable will be laid and where possible the family notified and asked to arrange repair. As part of a separate phased project, the Town Council plan to reinstate all laid memorials in both cemeteries. Where families have not come forward to arrange repair, a charge for the cost of reinstatement will be placed on the grave concerned. Please note that the final decision in respect of the stability of the memorial will rest with the qualified inspectors. For further information please contact the Town Council Office.

CROMER HONOURS AWARDS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 The Cromer Town Council Award Scheme to recognise significant achievement by an individual, or group, enters its 19th year. So far well over 100 people or groups have received the awards, which are presented by the Mayor of Cromer at the Annual Town Meeting. Every year one hears of work or a deed being done within our community which enhances the quality of life in our town or of its inhabitants. Much of this work by its very nature, goes largely unrecognized and may not be fully appreciated by the community at large. Who is eligible for an Award? Any person, young or old, and group or organisation, is eligible to be considered. The Council is looking towards anyone who has made a significant contribution to the quality of an individual, or wider community life in Cromer Times 487 February 13th 2016 28

Cromer, during the last year. If you know someone, a group or organisation, who you feel should be considered for an honour, please contact the Town Council office for a nomination form which must be completed and returned by noon on 28 February 2016. Copies of the nomination form can also be downloaded from the Town Council website www.cromertown.org

MEMORY BOOK The Town Council has arranged for a Memory Book to be produced in which the names of community stalwarts who have died in the previous year will be recorded. The book will be updated to coincide with the Cromer Honours Awards and the names read out at the Annual Town Meeting. Anyone wishing to make a nomination for inclusion in the book is asked to contact the Town Council Office by 28 February 2016. We are also looking for a calligrapher to write the names in the book. If you are able to help please get in touch.

CROMER TWINNING ASSOCIATION Visitors from both of our twin towns will be joining us for the Crab and Lobster Festival in May. There will be approximately 20 people from Crest and the same number from Nidda. We will be taking them to the opening concert on the pier and showing them the festival activities in Cromer and Sheringham over the week-end. There will be a celebration Sunday Lunch. Some of the visitors have been to Cromer many times but for some it will be their first visit and we want to make it a special time for them. Whilst we have some regular hosts, we are appealing for anyone who feels they could help over that weekend. We will need hosts for singles and couples. If you would like more information or are willing to host, please ring Mary on 01263 513757. We have had a request from Crest to find work for two young people. Firstly, a 19yr girl who would like to work for 2 months for a Company that is involved in import/export. She is doing a post A level business course and the placement would count towards this. The second a 19yr old boy who would like to work for 4-6 weeks to improve his English. Both are willing to work for “pocket money”, board and lodgings. We have also received a request from a family who are looking for an au-pair for the summer in Chabrillan (7 km. from Crest). They will be included in the family holiday. If you can help please ring Mary on 01263 513757. DIARY DATES

awareness of spinal cord injury and supporting SIA’s vital services.

You can hold a fish and chip supper in your own home, at work or hold a larger supper at your local community centre.

SIA will provide a fundraising pack containing hints and tips, recipes, invitations and donation envelopes. By inviting eight friends and asking them to donate an additional £5 means you will raise at least £40 from your supper but we will also give you additional fundraising ideas to raise even more money for SIA.

Just £50 could contribute towards the support from our Peer Support Service for one hour, in a district general hospital or Major Trauma Centre.

In 2016 we want to make the batter matter and raise £40,000 from everyone holding suppers. Last year we raised £12,000 from the suppers. The money raised from the suppers will help the Spinal Injuries Association offer support to individuals who become paralysed and their families, from the moment a spinal injury occurs, and for the rest of their lives by providing services and publications, which enable and encourage paralysed people to rebuild lives after spinal cord injury.

New Chairman at North Norfolk UKIP

At North Norfolk UK Independence Party’s recent annual general meeting Jack Smith was elected Chairman, Irene Ramsbotham Secretary. Gina Foster Membership Secretary and David Ramsbotham Treasurer.

Retiring Chairman Terry Comber spoke about the progress that UKIP had made during his five year tenure. Membership of the Branch had increased three fold, two County Councillors had been elected and, most importantly, a referendum on our membership of the European Union had been secured.

Jack Smith was delighted and honoured to be elected Chairman. He spoke of his determination to continue to progress the Party, both locally and nationally in preparation for the vote on the EU.

County Councillor David Ramsbotham said that he was very pleased with Jack Smith’s appointment adding “Jack is only 24 years old – hopefully this will convince everyone that we are not a Party of old fogies but the youngsters of Britain are also keen to protect the future prosperity, security, sovereignty, democracy, culture and way of life of our proud nation”.

To join UKIP please contact Gina Foster on 01263 712810 or e-mail gina.foster2015@gmail.com
