High Sheriff joins Cromer RNLI Crew for a day

The outgoing High Sheriff of Norfolk joined Cromer RNLI crew on his last day of office.

Nicholas Pratt has enjoyed many experiences during his time in office, but rated joining the RNLI crew as being on ‘top of my list’ of experiences.

During his tour of t he station, the High Sheriff was keen to learn about Cromer’s all weather boat ‘Lester’ and how it came to be donated to the station through legacies.

He then enjoyed the trip to the windfarms, inspected some of the marker buoys and was able to observe the professionalism of the crew. Watching the crew run through a practice session, he was joined by his wife and youngest son.

After the return to shore and returning the safety outfits, the High Sheriff addressed the entire crew, saying ‘thank you for your hospitality. It is always said you should leave the best to last and definitely the chance to be on the lifeboat is the best.

The RNLI is one of this country’s most supported, loved and cherished of the charities. As High Sheriff of Norfolk I am proud to be associated with this county and proud of the crew and your representation of the work of the RNLI’

CROMER AND SHERINGHAM PROBUS CLUB

Cromer without a pier? It is difficult to visualise this gem of the Norfolk coast without one, and although the first jetty is said to date from the 14th century, storms frequently washed the structures away and it was not until 1821 that the first iron pier was constructed for the purpose of promenading.

Alistair Murphy, Curator of Cromer Museum, outlined the growth of Cromer in the 19th century at the April lunch meeting of Cromer and Sheringham Probus Club attended by 37 members, and with appropriate use of photographs, showed how the town expanded rapidly triggered by a combination of factors.

Wealthy families, encouraged by the health-giving properties of sea air, made their way to the Cromer area and built or bought large houses such as Northrepps Cottage, The Grove, Cliff House, Colne House and Newhaven Court. These families, among them the Gurneys, Buxtons and Barclays were leading lights in the formation of Barclays Bank in 1896. The Bond Cabbell family had bought Cromer Hall in 1852 together with much of the area and in 1885 sold off large chunks of the Estate for development.

The building of the railways made Cromer more accessible with Cromer High Station at the top of Norwich Road opening in 1877 bringing passengers from London and the present Beach Station from the Midlands in 1887.

Large hotels were built, the Hotel de Paris, the Grand and the Cliftonville among them and lots of other accommodation appeared to deal with the growing popularity of Cromer as a holiday destination. During that century the town’s resident population had grown from 678 to 3,781 according to the census, and with about 8000 today any decline seems unlikely.

And the pier? The present structure was built in 1900, the Pavilion, covering a former bandstand, in 1905 and the Lifeboat House added in 1923.

Mr Murphy was thanked for his informative and stimulating presentation by the Chairman. If you have not visited the Museum it is well worth calling in and a stroll along the pier to see some of the best views in the region is a must for everyone!

Our next Lunch Meeting at The Links Hotel, West Runton, is on Tuesday 5 May when the visiting speaker will be Captain Albert Schoonderbeek telling us what it’s like to be a Cruise Captain.

If you would like to meet a very friendly group of men for lunch and to hear Captain Schoonderbeek please contact our Lunch Secretary, Dave Vickery, on 01263 824306 or visit our website www.candsprobus.club

Music at the Muckleburgh Collection

Sir Michael Savory, owner of the Muckleburgh Military collection, and Jane Bussey, Musical Director of the Cromer and Sheringham Brass Band, discuss the music programmes for two forthcoming concerts at the Museum. These occasions are not new events. Sir Michael invited the band to appear twice last year and due to the popularity of the occasions has suggested the local band return in 2016 to perform on 1 May and 4 September at 2pm.

Daytime 07736 516644 Evening 01263 649430

On these dates visitors can make a leisurely tour of the museum, admiring the huge collection of military memorabilia, learning something of its history, and then, in the afternoon sit and listen to the music in the restaurant. Admission charges and opening times can be found on the Museum web site - www.muckleburgh.co.uk but, for the price of a cup of tea and a piece of cake the band can be listened to for free.

This is a special year for the Cromer and Sheringham Brass Band as it is the 60th Anniversary of its formation when the Cromer Band merged with the Sheringham Brass Band and a busy schedule of appearances can be found by visiting the Band’s web site www.cromerandsheringhambrassband.com along with other information about the Band‘s history and its musicians.

Cantamus Concerts

Cantamus Choir, a 40 strong concert choir based in Southrepps, are gearing up for their final two performances under present conductor, David Ballard.

David has held the baton at Cantamus since September 2010, and in that time the choir has performed across Norfolk venues in works as diverse as choral repertory mainstays such as Faure’s Requiem and Vivaldi’s Gloria, through to smaller scale works, sacred and secular, contemporary and classic. The final two concerts will be at West Runton Parish Church (Saturday 14 May at 7pm admission by donation) and North Walsham Parish Church (Saturday 28 May 7pm, admission £5 as part of the churches exhibition of church vestments.) They will feature a selection of varied short pieces of music from both sides of the Atlantic and spanning 500 years of music making. The choir is particularly pleased to be showcasing music written in the early years of the 21st century by American composers such as Eric Whitacre, Stephen Paulus, and Morten Lauridsen, whose work O Magnum Mysterium has sold more copies of sheet music than any other in

American history. This will be interspersed with English music by composers such as Elgar and Parry as well as arrangements of traditional folk songs.

clint_brown_1@hotmail.com

David Ballard said “I’ve been tremendously proud of what Cantamus has achieved in my five years at the helm, during which time the choir has been able to attain very high standards of amateur music making, and gain a reputation for the wide variety of music that has been showcased. The choir has also had a reputation for being a very friendly group, and I can assure everyone that the internal warmth of the choir will radiate through these performances of familiar and not-so-familiar music. There will also be solos from local Contralto Jo Oxbourgh and Flautist Jodie Taylor, so truly something for everyone!”

Chocolate Profiteroles @ The Dales

For the choux pastry • 200ml/7fl oz cold water • 4 tsp caster sugar • 85g/3oz unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing • 115g/4oz plain flour • pinch salt • 3 medium eggs, beaten For the cream filling • 600ml/1 pint double cream • 3 tsp icing sugar • ½ tsp vanilla extract (or essence)

For the chocolate coating • 200g/7oz dark chocolate, broken into pieces Method 1 Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

2. For the choux pastry, place the water, sugar and butter into a large saucepan. Heat gently until the butter has melted.

3. Turn up the heat, then quickly pour in the flour and salt all in one go.

4. Remove from the heat and beat the mixture vigorously until a smooth paste is formed. Once the mixture comes away from the side of the pan,

transfer to a large bowl and leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.

5. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and glossy and has a soft dropping consistency - you may not need it all.

6. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. Using a piping bag and plain 1cm/½in nozzle, pipe the mixture into small balls in lines across the baking sheet.

Tip 1 - Gently rub the top of each choux pastry with a wet finger as this will help it make a crisper top. 7. Place the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden-brown

8. Remove from the oven and turn the oven off. Prick the base of each profiterole with a skewer. Place back onto the baking sheet with the hole in the base facing upwards and return to the oven for five minutes. Tip 2 - The warm air from the oven helps to dry

9. For the filling, lightly whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. When the profiteroles are cold, use a piping bag to pipe the cream into the profiteroles.

WHY CHOOSE WHY CHOOSE SILVER SILVER & WARD WARD SOLICITORS? SOLICITORS?

Freewheel Fabrications Ltd, Unit 6 Cornish Way, North Walsham, NR28 0AW

“It’s a common misconception that a larger firm is better.”

I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor, qualified Family Mediator and Collaborative solicitor.

As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norfolk or Norwich and I provide 22 years of expertise and exceptional service. The common misconception is that a larger local firm or city firm is better but this is incorrect. A client just pays more.

When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I am one of the few solicitors that offffers a free first appointment so that clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision.

I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs.

“I would say to any potential client to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain.

Home visits can be arranged or appointments outside of office hours including Saturdays. 0 1263 8 23465 or email clare@silverandward.co.uk 01263 823465

The zip wire is at Zip World, Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Blaenau Ffestiniog in Snowdonia. This exciting ride is over one mile long and, during the descent, will reach speeds around 100mph!. Anton will be hanging from the wire in a horizontal position! Lion President Anton is doing this to raise funds for his chosen charity,

Cromer Times 492 April 23rd 2016


The Best Gig on the North Sea Comes of Age Born out of a one-off concert at Cromer’s historic Pavilion Theatre featuring Fairport Convention in 1998, this May sees Norfolk’s flagship folk and roots event ‘Folk on the Pier’ celebrating 18 years since its inception in 1999.

Kards & Bits

Moreover it now proudly boasts the patronage of none other than the veritable ‘Godfather of Folk-Rock’, Ashley Hutchings MBE, who keenly accepted the post in 2014, often citing the Cromer festival as a ‘friendly indoor mini-Cropredy’From the start the festival was created by, produced, directed and for many years now funded by Scott Butler, a long-time fan of many aspects of folk and roots music who unashamedly admits a longstanding penchant for English Folk-Rock, the genre that has always formed the bedrock repertoire of this annual popular event.

Like most festivals, ‘Folk on the Pier’ has had its ups and downs, including a particularly difficult year in 2004 when the Pavilion Theatre was not available due to pier renovation works, and found itself decanted to marquees on a clifftop car park in Cromer, enduring some of the most inclement unseasonal weather possible to add to its difficulties. Most importantly though it didn’t miss a year and cold marquees aside, the festival’s ever increasing and devoted audience year on year instantly rebook around 30% of the full weekend tickets for the next year’s event. Sunday morning on Cromer Pier traditionally witnesses a substantial queue of regular audience politely waiting to snap up their favourite seat, without a single act for the following year having been announced!

However, the success of ‘Folk on the Pier’ is not just about programming, it must be said that the Pavilion Theatre is a major part of the magic and as well as a superb acoustic, as a celebrated variety theatre, has a unique atmosphere, a characteristic that Mr Butler has always been mindful of when programming artists. ‘Artists love playing the venue, and It was Fairport’s Dave Pegg who in 1998 first coined the expression ‘the Best Gig on the North Sea’, which has been the festival’s slogan ever since.’ says Scott.

01263 510241 An Interesting Visit in Store!

This year’s line-up, if bookings are anything to go by, is as strong and varied as ever and includes performances from the likes of Steve Tilston, Richard Digance, Welsh group Calan, the Spikedrivers, Nancy Kerr and the Sweet Visitor Band, the Urban Folk Quartet and many more. Fairport also return and there is another unique UK performance from Breton squeezebox maestro Fred Guichen, as well as dynamic dance and music from the Demon Barbers XL Show. The usual fringe programme will also be on offer around Cromer. More details about the 2016 event can be found at www.folkonthepier.co.uk Folk on the Pier 2016 takes place Friday 6 to Sunday 8 May at Pavilion Theatre, Cromer Pier and around town. Main concerts 2pm and 7.30pm each day. Ticket prices – afternoon concerts £17.50 evening concerts £19.50. Box office 01263 512495.

Our Queen at 90 Princess Elizabeth vowed To serve her country And to do her very best, She has done just that With very little rest. She dresses to perfection, Her smile lights up her face, As she shakes hand with many, Regardless of their race. I remember her Coronation, How the years have flown, We love you Queen Elizabeth, We hope you stay on the throne.

Recently Asked Questions and Answers

from the Clapham & Collinge Business Support team By Philip Lumb, Consultant Solicitor in the Business Support Team

Q1 I created an app which did well over Christmas & made some money. Do I have to tell my employer?

This will largely depend upon what is contained in your employment contract and the circumstances in which the app was created. Many employment contracts contain provisions which mean that anything created in the employer's time (i.e. your working hours) will belong to the employer and not to you. If you created the app during working hours, and/or on work equipment, it could infer that the app does in fact belong to your employer, in which case you would need to notify them and account for any money made. There may also be clauses in your employment contract which restrict you from operating in competition with your employer. Depending on the wording of the restrictions, you may be in breach of your contract if your app competes with your employer's products and/or services.

Q2 I am looking at buying a Franchise in 2016. How could a Solicitor help me choose the right opportunity?

A Solicitor will meet with you to ascertain your objectives and what you are seeking from the opportunity. They will then help by reviewing the franchise agreement, explaining the terms of business and assessing whether it is a good fit for your objectives. They can also help by trying to negotiate better or more suitable terms of the agreement for you if you want them to do so. There are many aspects to consider when buying a franchise, such as intellectual property rights and what licences and/or ownership you have in relation them. You will also need to give consideration to employment matters, such as having contracts of employment for any employees you may take on and policies and procedures for matters such as grievances and disciplinary issues. If you require a premises for your franchise, a solicitor can also help you with negotiating the terms of a lease and advise as to the title of the building too, for example by checking if there are any covenants which will prohibit you from carrying out the business activity. Solicitors are usually unable to give financial advice so bear in mind you are also likely to want to speak to an independent financial adviser to discuss aspects arising from the accounts and to advise more generally on the financial opportunities different franchises may offer. Whenever considering buying a franchise it is worth bearing in mind the British Franchise Association Code of Ethics, which governs the behaviour of franchise practitioners.

Q3 I see a lot about crowdfunding investments these days. Are they regulated under UK law like other investment vehicles?

Crowdfunding has become very popular recently as it helps entrepreneurs reach a large number of people who each invest a small amount in a new business to help it reach its funding objective. There are three forms of crowdfunding: donation (people give money to organisations whose activities they want to support), debt (money is lent to the organisation in return for interest payments and a repayment of the capital over a period of time) and equity (direct or indirect investment by buying products such as shares or debentures). The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) established industry regulation last year for debt-based and investment-based crowdfunding, but it is based on the type of product offered rather than the risk profile of the business that will benefit from the investment. As these forms of crowdfunding are activities regulated by the FCA under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA), you should make sure that only a person or firm authorised by the FCA advises you in relation to this. Donation-based crowdfunding is not included in the regulation. Cromer Times 492 April 23rd 2016

Good NHS Care Experience In recent months, there has been much criticism of the NHS, some I know is justified, but I feel strongly that it is not balanced by stories of good experiences of the care it can provide.

I therefore would like to tell you of our experience of local NHS hospitals and doctors when my partner, Carole Sheppard became seriously ill last year. Unfortunately Carole, at just 57, did not survive her illness which was diagnosed as terminal very early. However, the care provided during her illness was second to none.

As Carole’s disease progressed, so her mobility decreased and eventually she couldn’t leave home. At this stage, her care transferred to the community nursing team and Paston Surgery in North Walsham. Again, the care provided was outstanding.

busy, made time to talk to us about Carole’s condition and treatment, giving us options when they were available, or telling us difficult news in a caring and sympathetic way. We were not alone in this experience as we saw and heard the other patients receive this same level of care. I think it is important that the outstanding staff who go well beyond the call of duty in providing care to those with life limiting illnesses, receive recognition of their professionalism, dedication, care and compassion, which is why I am asking you to publish our story. We know that finances in the NHS are stretched to the limit so Carole asked that friends and family should make donations to Priscilla Bacon Lodge in lieu of flowers at her funeral, and on Wednesday 6 April, along with Carole’s mum Ruby, I was proud to represent those friends and family to present cheques for a total of £3220 to the PBL Support Group in memory of Carole. Every penny will go to improving the experience of patients and providing even better facilities for staff at PBL. The palliative care provision in Norfolk is a service we hear very little about, and in our experience deserves more positive reports on the care they provide. Andy Aitken

Dear Margaret,

If a vote to leave the European Union is a ‘leap into the dark’, a vote to remain must be ‘pie in the sky’. David Cameron is now advocating that we should remain in a reformed EU which he failed to reform. If the EU failed to listen to him with the threat of our withdrawal hanging over it, what chance is there of any influence or reform in the future? The position of the Labour party is even worse – it is suggesting that we should vote for an EU which does not exist and is very unlikely to manifest itself for many years to come if ever. For me a leap into the dark is the better option. At least that way I know that I will be living in a democratic and proud country where I will, along with my fellow British citizens, have the freedom to control our own destiny. Yours sincerely, David Ramsbotham, UKIP County Councillor, Melton Constable Division

Keep-In-Touch

Age Concern North Norfolk runs three Keep-In Touch (or KIT for short) Groups. They are local social groups for the over 55s, where people can meet new friends, learn new skills and get more involved within their local community. The groups are, essentially, coordinated by their own members, and those members can vary in age and circumstances. We have members who are widows, carers, married or single and we are always on the lookout for new members to join any of the groups at any time - many of our members go onto volunteer for our charity with a great range of volunteering opportunities available.

In no particular order, the three groups consist of:

• The Pop-In Group at Cromer who meet every Friday morning at The Cottage on Lounden Rd from 10am. A warm welcome always awaits you here, so go along for a cup of tea/coffee, a chat and make new friends. For more info contact our key volunteer at the Pop-In, Ann, on 01263 761508

• The Voyager KIT who meet at St. Nicholas Room on Vicarage Street in North Walsham; a friendly group that meet every Wednesday from 2-4pm. The group takes part in various fun activities and offer a great way to meet new friends. For more info contact our key volunteer at the Voyager, Linda, on 07541 795133

• Lastly, but by no means least, The KIT

Club that meet every fortnight in the Community Lounge at Anchor Close in Sheringham from 10am. All our welcome and the next group meeting is on 9th of May. For more info contact our key volunteer at the KIT Club, Ann, on 01263 761508

The Pop In Group at Cromer

We arrange outings, go for lunch, organise activities and trips as well as inviting speakers to all our groups. A talk by the local Arthritis Care coordinator is taking place at our Pop-In on Friday the 17 June.

• A trip to the wonderful Blickling Gardens on 19 May to see the procession down the drive to commemorate the death of Anne Boleyn.

• A trip on the train and a lovely meal in the picturesque setting of the riverbank in Norwich is planned for Friday 3 June.

A trio of volunteer actors are being sought to join the cast of the Railway Children. The professional production is looking for two females and a male to bolster the team by playing a variety of roles.

Theatre director Debbie Thompson said: "The roles are voluntary and would suit experienced actors who would like the opportunity to work in a professional environment. It could be a competent amateur from a community drama group, or a young person on a gap year before going to drama school."

The roles are a big commitment, with rehearsals in August and shows running from August 10-16 (7.30pm daily and matinees on the 11 and 13). Specific requirements are: • One female aged 40 plus to play various characters • One female aged 18-30 with roles including a child • A male aged 18-30 playing a variety of roles including a child.

Auditions are on May 8 at Sheringham Little Theatre from 11am to 1pm. Applicants are asked to email a brief resume in advance to debbie@sheringhamlittletheatre.com

Let’s just say one book led to another. It is very rewarding when you see your book in print with its shiny cover and more importantly with your name on the cover! But for me, it’s more than just publishing books. My mission is to sell as many books as I can so I can donate the profits on sales to two very deserving charities, Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation. You can read the reasons why I have chosen these two charities on Clifftop Publishing’s website www.clifftoppublishing.com.

The website also provides details about my Greek themed books. All are available to purchase through Amazon in both paperback and Kindle versions. The first to be published was ‘Timotheus Pserimos Puss’, a light hearted short story about a cat. This was followed by ‘On the Verge’, a novel based on a young woman’s diaries. Then there is my book of recipes which incorporates travelogues and is titled, ‘The 3Rs – Recipes Reflections & Reminsicences’. By the way, you don’t have to like Greece to enjoy my books.

I will be at the Overstrand Summer Fair on 24 July, where you can take a look at samples of my books, as well as being able to purchase signed copies. In October, as part of this year’s COAST programme of events, I will be giving a talk titled, ‘Writing by the Sea’. This will be an informal event where I will cover the pros and cons of self-publishing. By then I plan to have completed my fourth book - a collection of short stories.

THEATRE CAFE'S PLEA FOR HELPERS

A busy community cafe, which feeds a theatre with vital funds, is putting out a plea for helpers.

The Hub at Sheringham Little Theatre is a key income stream that helps the venue stage drama, music, cinema and live screenings. Its growing popularity, however, means it needs more volunteers to keep pace.

Theatre director Debbie Thompson said: "The Hub is increasingly busy and we are struggling to keep on top of clearing the tables. We are very flexible and would welcome anyone who can spare time - from a couple of hours a month to four hours a week." It was a chance to do rewarding work and be to be part of a team at a vibrant community arts centre, she added. "The money the coffee bar generates helps the theatre survive," said Mrs Thompson. The venue has a team of 86 volunteers doing a range of tasks. There is also a need for people to help run the evening bar in the 60-seat Hub - training is provided. Anyone interested should contact Debbie Thompson on 01263 822117 debbie@sheringhamlittletheatre.com or drop into the Hub for a chat. It is open from 9.30am to 4pm six days a week. Closed Sundays.

New guide to care and support in Norfolk – a crucial time for information A new, updated Norfolk Guide to Care and Support for Adults has recently been published in association with Norfolk County Council. It gives readers crucial information on how to access, and pay for, care services throughout Norfolk.

With Government plans to cap the costs of social care now postponed, it’s never been more important to have impartial information to guide you through choosing and paying for care and support. The guide helps readers to understand their options, highlights where to go for advice and gives information on how the paying for care system works.

With no cap on care costs at present, this independent information is invaluable to help navigate the system.

The new edition of the Norfolk Guide to Care and Support for Adults and accompanying

Kerrys

website give information on all aspects of arranging care and support in Norfolk. It includes how to stay independent for as long as possible, the different care and support options available and what to look for when choosing a care provider. It also offers guidance on important issues such as paying for care and what financial assistance may be available from the local authority. There are comprehensive listings of all registered care services throughout Norfolk, plus checklists to help you ask the right questions when visiting services. For free copies of the Norfolk Guide to Care and Support for Adults contact Norfolk County Council on 0344 800 8020. It is also available throughout the region from outlets including Citizens Advice Bureaus, hospitals, Community Services, Age UK and the Alzheimer’s Society. It can be downloaded from www.carechoices.co.uk and is available in

s Carpets, Flooring & Blind

spoken word. Further help and information can be accessed via the guide’s free telephone helpline on 0800 389 2077.

Robert Chamberlain, Managing Director of the guide’s publisher, Care Choices, commented “This is an invaluable source of information for anyone considering short or long term care in Norfolk, and contains vital information to help people decide what type of care and support is best for them.

“With no cap on the cost of care, finding a care service for yourself or a loved one that meets their needs and is affordable can be a daunting and unfamiliar task. This new Norfolk Guide to Care and Support for Adults has been compiled to help people understand the process and offer them reassurance at every step of their journey.”

Care Choices is the UK’s largest independent publisher for social care and adults with additional needs. It is also the largest publisher of care directories for local authorities in England.

OVERSTRAND GARDENING CLUB Overstrand Gardening Club held their monthly meeting on Tuesday 5 April.

The speaker was Dr Ian Bedford Head of Entomology at the John Innes Centre Norwich. The illustrated talk was called Garden Bugs ‘Cohabit, Conserve or Control’ and Dr Bedford gave descriptions of the various visitors we all may have in our gardens and whether they were a ‘pest’ or indeed ‘good’ for the garden.

Descriptions and examples were given of the various herbivores or predators that are to be found in our gardens. Some of the more common garden pests are slugs, snails, whitefly and lily beetles to name but a few.

More recently, the Spanish slug has become a problem for both growers and gardeners. The Spanish slug seems able to protect itself from pesticides and also predators, as they produce a large amount of slime so that hedgehogs and slug-eating birds do not like to go near them.

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER ALPINE PLANTS

The love of alpines becomes more and more absorbing for many gardeners. The charm of the miniature, the romantic association with the mountains which are their traditional home, the satisfaction of the many easy and floriferous species and as they become more expert, the challenge of those plants which are more difficult to grow. All these factors help to explain their attraction.

It has been suggested that there are two extreme types of alpine plantsmen. There are those for whom a rockery is primarily a pleasant and colourful addition to the garden, and those whose delight is in the fascinating detail of each small plant – an enjoyment enhanced by segregating them in pots and pans and in bringing them nearer eye level in an alpine house, raised bed or cold frame.

Alpines can be grown in rock gardens, sinks and troughs, in gravel or cracks in the paving or in a cold greenhouse. A alpine house is of course the ideal, but an unheated greenhouse with very ample ventilation will give the plants the conditions they need. Whatever space and facilities you have there is room for alpines and here are some recommended plants that are in flower in my garden at the moment ■ Androsace sempervivoides – a fine Himalayan species which has rosettes of leathery leaves and spreads by runners. Develops mats from which arise numerous 5cm stems of pink flowers in April and May. An easy plant suitable for sunny screes or troughs.

Broadly speaking, alpine plants are those found in mountainous districts, that is, in the high alpine pastures above the tree line and in the actual rocky cliffs arising from them. However, most gardeners use the term alpines to include any species suitable for growing in the rock garden, trough or unheated alpine house. In general, this means plants that are reasonably hardy, perennial and compact in habit (usually six inches or less).

■ Saxifraga ‘Peach Melba’. One of the many wonderful saxifrages that are available. This variety is best grown in pots but there are saxifrages available for every situation. ‘Peach Melba’ has

beautiul large peachy-pink, flared flowers in sprays amongst the light cushion of smallleaved evergreen foliage. It is a slow growing perennial spreading to 15cms and prefers full sun or partial shade.

■ Tulipa ‘Little Beauty’. A dwarf botanical tulip with a beautiful blend of bright red-pink flowers with purple-blue centres. Many flowers are produced from a single bulb in April and at a height of just 12cms are perfect for rockeries. Choose a sunny spot where possible, if not partial shade is fine. Plant around 10 cm. deep in well-drained soil for best results.

■ Arabis caucasica ‘Little Treasure White’ is a compact variety of this popular perennial rock plant, which forms an evergreen mound covered for weeks in spring with fragrant white flowers. It is attractive to bees. Height and spread 10-15cms by 25-30cms. Suitable for rock gardens, as ground cover or covering sunny banks. Thrives in most soils but likes full sun. Cut hard back after flowering to maintain a neat shape.

Alpines plants are widely available in garden centres and there are also local specialist nurseries such as West Acre Gardens near Swaffham. Bob Wilkinson

GET SET FOR THE 2016 REDWINGS SHOW!

Entries are welcomed for Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s annual show on Sunday 15 May at Topthorn Equestrian Centre in Suffolk.

Redwings’ annual show offers something for everyone with classes for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re competing at your first event, looking to try your hoof at jumping or wanting to show what a rescued pony can achieve when given a second chance, this is the show for you.

Indeed, the charity hopes the rescue class will be as popular as ever at this year’s show and welcomes rescued ponies from any charity to take part. Redwings also wants to give horses from every walk of life the chance to take part, so there are classes for retired racehorses, veterans and foreign breeds; not forgetting our affiliated Donkey Breed Society classes too.

After the introduction of their heavy horse classes last year, the charity is hoping for even more entries this year and to provide a real sense of competition for beautiful Shires, Suffolk Punches, Clydesdales, 26

Percherons and more. These classes were a real highlight of last year’s show for entrants and spectators alike, so the charity are eagerly anticipating a fantastic and varied heavy horse turnout!

Redwings Show organiser Stacey Harvey said “Last year’s show was our most successful one to date, and a super day was had by all. We are hoping to replicate that once again this year by providing the opportunity for riders and horses of all ages and abilities to come along and give showing a go in a relaxed and friendly environment. We are also really excited to be holding our heavy horse classes once again and hope to see some magnificent heavies this year”.

For entry details and to download this year’s schedule, visit www.redwings.org.uk/show-2016.

Photography at this year’s Redwings Show will be by Big Red Toad Photography and photographs will be available after the event. Cromer Times 492 April 23rd 2016

Aylsham Fashion Show

Fashion is coming to Aylsham! Not that it isn’t here already of course, but the Artichoke Collection, together with Aylsham Country Market will be giving it a hand with an exclusive Fashion Show on Friday 6 May in the Town Hall.

The Artichoke Collection, which caters for sizes 8 to 22, specialises in stylish casual clothing designed for the age 35+ woman who lives in the country. A great range of cords, jeans and casual trousers together with jackets, gilets, T-shirts, knitwear and shirts are featured in the Collection, alongside a complementary range of carefully chosen and reasonably priced accessories, designed to bring a little bit of glamour. And if you do have a special occasion, there is the odd posh frock or two.

Clothes will be on view using the traditional fashion show catwalk (with local models), while a pop-up shop will allow guests to browse and choose or order their favourite designs. Grizelda Tyler, Chair of the Aylsham Country Market cooperative say the Fashion Show will fit perfectly with the Market’s activities. “Many people think we are only about food,” she says, “but our craft and gifts section has a great range of fashion accessories as well as gifts, children’s clothes and knitwear. We wanted to do something which would include the whole community and we think the Artichoke Collection Fashion Show fits the bill perfectly.” Entry to the Show, which starts at 7pm for 7.30pm, costs just £5 and tickets are available from three outlets in Aylsham: Barnwells Newsagents, Carousel Chocolates and the Market Place fruit & veg stall. Alternatively, you can phone 01263 862396. Cromer Times 492 April 23rd 2016

Reflexology

Kevin Keeler MBRA qualified with the Bayly School of Reflexology in 1989 and has held a relexology practice in Cromer for 27 years. Reflexology is a form of ancient Chinese medicine involving the treatment by massage of reflex areas in the feet. Different areas of the feet correspond with other areas of the body. The hands are used to give a thorough massage to areas of the feet. Any apparent sensitive areas will indicate an imbalance, as will the formation of crystal deposits (calcium and uric acid). Relexology helps a wide range of conditions

the requirements of the Town Council’s insurers, all memorials in the cemeteries in Cromer are inspected on a 5 yearly basis with the most recent inspections having taken place over the past month. The memorials have been professionally hand tested for stability and any which were found to be in danger of falling were laid down.

The Town Council have agreed a business plan to repair the laid memorials and a contractor has been appointed to carry out the work. R. Wells Memorials will be working at the cemetery over the coming weeks to fit ground anchors and re-erect the laid memorials. A charge in respect of the costs involved will be placed on each grave concerned and where possible the family contacted. No further interments or memorials will be permitted until the charge has been repaid by the family concerned.

For further information in respect of the project please contact the Deputy Town Clerk Mrs Janet Warner Tel: 01263 512254 or email admin@cromertown.org

CROMER CHRISTMAS WORKInG GROUP - Alternative Christmas Tree and Carnival Float Members of the working group would like to invite residents to put forward designs for this year’s alternative Christmas Tree and also for the Carnival Float. Please email your designs to clerk@cromertown.org or deliver to the Town Council Office. The designs will be considered at the next meeting of the working group on Monday 16 May 2016.

Information on any meetings or matters arising can be obtained from the Town Clerk on 01263 512254. In nearly all cases the person feels more relaxed and more able to cope with life’s stresses. The whole body will become more balanced and the immune system will improve. The Bayly School was the first reflexology teaching body to be established in the UK and is the official teaching body of the British Reflexology Association. Reflexology may, on the surface, appear to be a simplistic form of massage treatment, but the Bayly School of Reflexologists are qualified in this specialised field of treatment and results obtained can be amazing. For appointments contact Kevin Keeler on 07900 215064 or 07989 332219.

Cabbell Park Update - Cromer Town Football Club from North Norfolk District Council

North Norfolk District Council became the owners of Cabbell Park under the terms of a gift by Mrs Bond Cabbell, who left the ground to the people of Cromer to allow its use for a variety of sports, including football. Although this has been misunderstood by some individuals, it should be made clear that the ground was not gifted for the sole use of Cromer Town Football Club and this facility should always have been shared. At the same time, the District Council has been looking to facilitate the provision of a new doctors' surgery to meet the needs of the people of Cromer and also to provide adequate sports facilities for young people.

In working towards these objectives, the District Council has so far committed to investing a total of £55,000 at Cabbell Park to ensure continued use of the facility for sports, while we seek to purchase a larger replacement sports ground for the people of Cromer.

The money committed so far includes £35,000 to relocate the football pitch and £20,000 for a new changing room at the Academy, the latter specifically designed to meet the needs of Cromer Town Football

Club, although it will also be used by other groups. Leader of North Norfolk District Council, Cllr Tom FitzPatrick said “Since taking ownership of Cabbell Park, we have done everything possible to help secure the future of Cromer Town Football Club while we plan for the future and provide improved sports facilities for Cromer.

“I am very concerned that North Norfolk District Council’s position has apparently been misrepresented at the recent Football Club meeting, to which we were not invited. If we had been present, we could have set out the correct position of the District Council, and very clearly restated to the Club and its supporters that we have actually been fully supportive both in terms of money and our time.” The need to move the football pitch to allow the building of the new Medical Centre was explained to Cromer Town FC back in April 2014 and there have been ongoing talks to ensure Cromer Town FC was informed and involved in the future changes.

• offered to store equipment; • supported Cromer Town FC by allowing it to continue holding its car boot sales for the coming year; • offered the use of toilets at Cromer Sports Centre on the adjoining Cromer Academy site for Cromer Town FC; • offered to negotiate with the developer’s contractors for use of the Cromer Town FC clubouse building as a site office or welfare facility ensuring additional funds for Cromer Town FC for at least 12 months; • facilitated discussions with Cromer Tennis and Squash Club about use of their clubhouse facilities for spectators and members. Cllr FitzPatrick added “The claim in Cromer Town FC’s statement that North Norfolk District Council is ‘removing items that had previously been intended to be carried out’ is quite simply inaccurate.”

Since April 2014 the Council has kept Cromer Town FC informed of the proposals both in writing and at face to face meetings with the club.

The District Council has:

London Marathon for Amyloidosis

Duncan Ayers was born and bred in Sheringham (born West Runton), and says that when he left North Norfolk to go to the university of Surrey, he took the unusual decision for a 21 year old, of not partying the night away but instead to run a marathon and raise money for charity.‘I ran in 2001 and raised over £2000 for Sheringham lifeboat - my family have had ties to the lifeboat for generations, both the Ayers family have had crew members and the West’s history is entwined with the Sheringham station. At the age of 31, I ran the London marathon again, that time raising money for the spinal injuries association, a charity that had helped my brother Simon Ayers, after he was paralysed from the waist down in an accident at work. This year I was lucky enough to get a ballot place so was able to pick another charity I really feel passionately about.

My marathon inspiration came from my father who ran the London marathon in 1988 aged 39. He supported me with advice and with cheers on the day from varying points on the route. This year’s race will be the first without that support. Sadly, after a long battle, my father died 28 October 2014. He had been battling for years against Amyloidosis, a genetic hereditary disease that had killed his kidneys. Despite two operations and one kidney transplant, Dad was finally beaten by the decease. St Peter’s church was jammed for his funeral. He was loved in the town and well respected. He was a great husband, father and amazing grandfather. Trying to do something to help, I threw my name into the ballot for the next race I could get into and got the proverbial golden ticket. The charity I am running for is the UCL Amyloidosis research fund. They are not like the big charities and cannot buy places in the London marathon so using my ballot place means I am the sole runner for the charity.

I have paid for my own running vest and set up a just giving page. All the money raised goes directly to research to develop a cure for amyloidosis. To stop this disease would be a legacy dad would be proud of and whereas I am lucky not to have the gene, both my brothers have inherited it. I have been contacted by others who have lost loved ones to this disease and there is a real chance that it can be stopped.

Im 35 now (36 by race day), I still live in Sheringham and love to run here, but I am a television cameraman so my training runs have been taking place while filming BBC’s One show, TFI Friday, TOTP and most recently I was running at 2000ft while working on The Jump in Austria, and seen running an odd lap at the Cheltenham Festival while working on the Channel 4 Racing.

Although I won’t have Dad cheering me on while I run, the money raised may mean another family keeps there loved one and that thought will keep me running’.

Cromer Marrams Bowls Club

loosen off the muscles that perhaps have not been exercised so much during the winter period. The jack – remember the little white ball – will be at a shorter length than normal to start with otherwise they may not be able to reach. A break for a cup of coffee half way during the morning will be welcome before returning to the green to try to do that little bit better. Our fixture list shows a Spoon Drive for this and the following Saturday and I hope that as many members as possible will join in these fun games. It is also an opportunity for our new members to mix together with their new playing friends. Please feel free to come along however and watch the players in action and hopefully enjoy a warm and sunny afternoon. The Marrams green is quite a ‘sun trap’ when we are lucky with the weather.

Tales from the Bowling Green ...

…where we have been open for just one week. Final redecorating touches have been carried out to the clubhouse and it does look the smartest I have seen it for some time. I really must congratulate the ladies Bernice, Jackie, Jean, Hazel and Edna together with Neil for their wonderful efforts with the painting. Also to Bob for his wizardry with the woodwork and numerous other tasks and Neil, Jack, and Keith with staining. Not forgetting Chris, Roger, Phil and Michael for sorting the ditch matting on a rather damp Saturday and Janice for the bacon rolls and coffee. Oh! and Frances for her hoeing. The green has again been besieged by worms which seem to delight in creating casts all over despite the best endeavours of the green maintenance crew. This does add to the problems when the green has to be cut. It has to be “swished” before it can actually be cut! However it is looking in excellent condition and how impressed with Phil’s first solo cut, his diagonal lines were so very straight. Does that make sense? I know what it means. Jackie did the swishing so well and so early in the morning. I managed to make a mistake last time round. The short mat bowls has been overseen by Roger Purser – I mistakenly gave him the surname Purvis. I tried to blame it on predictive text but members at the club soon told me it was my fault. He is now going to receive a second mention as the final of our short mat cup competition was played and Roger who not only organised it all but was the winner as well. The Runner Up being Jackie Purvis, and yes the name is right. The final quiz evening will take place after I have handed this report to the editor, indeed it is on the evening before we open. Winners will be declared on that evening by Jack and Edna so I will mention the successful players next time. During these first two weeks I expect there to be a number of members old and new trying their best on the green in the morning ‘roll ups’ to
