Swim Safe - don’t get caught in a Rip

Advice issued by the RNLI Happisburgh following the tragic events at Sea Palling last year.

Rip Currents are strong currents running out to sea. They can take you from the shallows very quickly and leave you out of your depth.

If you are caught in a Rip: • Stay calm, don’t panic • If you can stand, wade – don’t try to swim • If you have an inflatable or board, keep hold of it to help you float • Raise your hand and shout for help loudly • Don’t swim directly against the Rip or you will get exhausted • Swim parallel to the beach until free of the Rip, then make for the shore For more information on Rip Currents go to www.ripcurrents.co.uk

‘Shout, Shout, Up with your Song’....

34-40 Station road, Sheringham 01263 823258 blythwright@btconnect.com www.blythandwright.co.uk

and so with the words of the almost forgotten suffragette composer, Dame Ethel Smyth, Cantamus Choir, under the musical direction of Philip Adams, gave a captivating concert in Itteringham Village Hall. Raising a magnificent ÂŁ800 towards the Save Itteringham Village Shop fund, the evening of music and song celebrated many female composers. The audience were treated to the beautiful Litany by Isabella Leonarda, rallying songs of the suffragettes, and Judith Weir’s ‘Michael’s Stratspey and Reel’ written for and performed by the renowned composer and pianist, Michael Finnissy.

If you enjoy singing, come and join Cantamus Choir. Our non-auditioned choir welcomes all voices and even if you have little previous experience, it won’t be long before you are singing your heart out with us.

Cantamus Choir are now taking a summer break but we will begin rehearsing again in Thorpe Market Church on our regular Thursday evenings, beginning on Thursday 7 September at 7.30pm. Focusing on our Christmas concert, the choir will be learning Britten’s Ceremony of Carols (SATB version) and carols by Richard Rodney Bennett, Elizabeth Poston, Thomas Ravenscroft and Vaughan Williams, and some jolly medieval carols from last year’s carol concert. We will also be performing in Cromer Pavilion Pier Theatre on 1 October at CHOIRfest.

Local Ambassadors Helping Politicians in the Fight Against Cancer

Whilst scientists look to find a cure, and amazing volunteers raise thousands of pounds for charity, local people have found a new way to help in the fight against cancer.

Nearly 300 people of all ages and walks of life across the country have joined Cancer Research UK’s Ambassador Programme. This branch of the charity involves a group of passionate volunteers, some of whom have a close experience of cancer, writing to and chatting to MPs, engaging in promotion online and on social media, to try to improve public health policy and help to beat cancer sooner.

The Ambassadors have been involved in campaigns to prevent cancer, and to keep it high on the government’s agenda. For example, they were involved in promoting plain packaging for tobacco, protecting children from sunbeds and protecting local stop smoking services.

Ryan Devlin, a student from Cromer and Ambassador in Edinburgh and North Norfolk, said “I joined the Ambassadors in November and am absolutely loving it. I was a bit apprehensive to start off with, but I’m part of a group of wonderful, friendly people who helped me to focus my efforts and develop my skills in speaking and writing. Plus it only takes a couple of hours a fortnight, so I could easily fit it around my studies.�

The Ambassadors are recruiting in North Norfolk now, so if you want to get involved, or want to learn a little more visit cruk.org/ambassadors, e-mail campaigning@cancer.org.uk or call on 07795 334929.

Council, Cromer Church and the Royal British Legion are once again calling on the people of Cromer to come together to commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This will be the main event in Norfolk to commemorate the Battle of Passchendaele. As part of the nation’s Remembrance of the Battle of Passchendaele, representatives of the above organisations, who also come together on the Cromer War-Memorial Restoration Committee, are inviting individuals, groups and organisations to participate in an 18-hour vigil. During this time, they will stand as an honour guard at the Cromer War Memorial in intervals up to an hour in length starting at 6pm on Sunday 30 July and ending at mid-day on Monday 31 July.

The vigil and service comes 13 months after an identical event to commemorate the Battle of the Somme when nearly 50 boys, girls, men and women aged from 7 to 87 took part in the 18-hour vigil at the War Memorial to acknowledge the service and lives of those who fought at the Somme.

At mid-day when the vigil ends, a service of Remembrance will commence led by the Rev. Peter Herbert, the Curate of Cromer Church. The service will include the laying of wreaths; some of which have been especially designed by the Lady Haig Poppy Factory to commemorate the Battle of Passchendaele.

The event will take place at the Cromer War Memorial in the grounds of the Parish Church, Church Street Cromer. The vigil will commence at 6pm on Sunday 30 July and continue for 18 hours through the night ending at mid-day on Monday 31 July. Throughout Monday morning (weather permitting), a display of World War One related items from the collection of Royal British Legion Chairman - John Needham, will also be on display near the War Memorial. The Battle of Passchendaele took place from 31 July to 10 November 1917 and has come to symbolise the enormous losses and dreadful conditions of the First World War.

Like the Battle of the Somme in 1916, every community across the UK was deeply affected by the loss of men who had fought at Passchendaele, including Cromer where it is believed that up to 6 men died because of the conflict.

The event organiser Cromer Town Councillor and Deputy Mayor, David Pritchard said “Immediately following on from the Somme vigil last year I was asked about a similar event for 2017. The most significant event of 1917 was the Battle of Passchendaele. This Battle caused tremendous loss to so many with around 245,000 casualties to the British alone”. Mr. Pritchard added that “In 2014, Cromer had hosted a successful concert and service to mark the centenary of WW1 commencing and we were joined by the Cromer-born Baroness Gillian Shepherd”. He said that “Cromer Church, the Royal British Legion and Cromer Town Council have all worked together so well during the centenary of World War One and this event is another example of the three groups continuing to acknowledge and remember the lives lost in conflict”.

Through the four years that mark the centenary, events have taken place in Cromer against a backdrop of fundraising to repair and renovate the Cromer War Memorial. Recently achieving an amount of £24,500 against a £42,000 target, the War Memorial Fund Raising Committee have recently appointed the contractor to conduct the work which will commence early next year.

Summer Solstice Yoga for Ellen Mezzetti Memorial Fund

Vee Zappia and Debbie Mason organised another Open Air Yoga event at Felbrigg Hall Estate to celebrate the summer solstice, which is when the sun reaches its peak in the sky creating the longest day and shortest night. It is a time to join together and celebrate.

This was a charity event in aid of The Ellen Mezzetti Memorial Fund for Epilepsy Research UK. A total of £400 was raised in just one hour.

Ellen’s grandmother attended and gave a small speech explaining about the charity. This was very emotional for her and touched everyone's hearts - it was a truly magical practise in surroundings so beautiful.

A big thank you goes out to all that helped and attended.

There will be another at the same venue in September to celebrate the autumn equinox and to raise money for this local charity.

Vee has been teaching yoga for 12 years and runs classes in various venues locally. Her contact details are: Veronicazappia@hotmail.co.uk 07899 894581.

Wind In The Willows is coming to North Lodge Park in Cromer! Boxtree Productions are coming to North Lodge Park in Cromer on 20 August this year with their fantastic new musical adaptation of 'Wind In The Willows'.

Boxtree Productions have been touring open air theatre since 2014 and have produced musical versions of 'The Three Musketeers', 'Around The World In 80 Days' and 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. This year they are producing their own version of Kenneth Grahame's classic tale, 'Wind In The Willows'.

“North Lodge Park is an ideal spot for Open Air Theatre and we are really proud to be offered the chance to work with the Boxtree team bringing this show to Cromer. Last year's performance of Goldilocks set a high standard, and we're confident that Boxtree are up to the job!” said Samantha Annison, Chair of the Friends of North Lodge Park. The audience can arrive from 12.30pm and are encouraged to bring a picnic and a blanket or low

North Lodge Park is a gem in the heart of Cromer, a small, but perfectly formed, quintessential sea-side cliff top park, which is a perfect venue for open air theatre. What better way to while away a balmy summer's afternoon than watching a fantastic tale of rivers, motor-cars and picnics told in the energetic Boxtree Productions style, in this beautiful park.

Join Mole as she throws down her broom and heads out to find adventure. She meets Ratty, Badger and Toad, whose exploits cause all manner of trouble. When the conniving and criminal Weasels set their sights on Toad Hall it's up to Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger to take back the Hall and learn the Weasels a lesson. Featuring lots of fast-paced fun, excitement and original music, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

James Franklin, managing director of Boxtree Productions said “we are so excited to be bringing a show to North Lodge Park. It's going to be a fantastic afternoon with a great atmosphere.”

Morgan the Railway Cat on the North Norfolk Railway Many of you will be familiar with the Children's Play carriage on Sheringham Station.

This was designed as a free attraction for young visitors to the North Norfolk Railway and last year had a makeover. The engine of the play train inside the carriage has been renamed 'Morgan' and has a super 'Morgan’ face on the front. Morgan is the Poppy Line's very own story book cat and we are proud to announce that our long awaited book, Morgan the Railway Cat, has been published, thanks to the kind sponsorship of two volunteers. The story was written by a railway volunteer and illustrated by Colin Wyatt of 'The Poddington Pea' books and TV series.

The book is already on sale in the three station shops and there will be an official launch of the book in the form of Special Fun Days on 19 and 20 August.

These will take place at Weybourne station from 10.30.am until 3pm. You will be able to meet Morgan and the characters from the book, all of whom work on the railway. You can visit and recognise everything from the pictures in the book. There will be games to play and things to make and cartoon drawing with Colin and good things to eat too.

Please note there can be no parking at Weybourne station for the duration of the event. Just come along and have a good old-fashioned family day out. For more info: 01263 820800 NNR office or enquiries@nnrailway.co.uk.

Both Cromer lifeboats go to assist powerboat

A request was made to launch RNLI Cromers all weather boat ‘Lester’ late on Wednesday 5 July.

Whilst on a training exercise Cromer’s D class lifeboat ‘George and Muriel’ went to assist a power boat in difficulties. The power boat ‘Double Trouble’ was on the way to Wells from Great Yarmouth when engine and mechanical problems caused it to need help. Cromer’s inshore lifeboat was on a training exercise and assessing crew when it saw the boat needed help. It was soon apparent that a tow would be needed, so a call was put in for ‘Lester’ to be launched. By 16.45 ‘Lester’ was at the scene, a tow rope was attached to the powerboat and soon they were underway. The photo shows both lifeboats assisting the powerboat. ‘Lester’s’ crew returned to the boathouse later and by 20.10 the lifeboat was made ready for its next call out. The inshore boat had returned at the end of training.

John Davies, RNLI Coxswain for Cromer RNLI Lifeboat, said ‘We were able to get to the scene very quickly due to the training exercise noticing the powerboats difficulties. Our regular training means we can respond quickly to those in need’.

The disco kicks off at 8pm, and runs until ‘late’ (11pm). There will be a bar selling alcohol and soft drinks. Tickets are selling for a mere £5, and can be obtained online from Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dead-disco-tickets35795101111

Those looking for a great night out Cromer are invited to live it up at the ‘Dead Disco’. A bone-rattling celebration of great artists no longer with us, the ‘Dead Disco’ will take place on the evening of Saturday 22 July, at Cromer Community Centre on Garden Street.

All the profits will be split across a number of worthy causes – local, national and international. Cromer Skate Park supports the upkeep of the town’s skate park facility on the Meadow. Mind provides advice and support to those experiencing mental health problems. A21 works to abolish slavery everywhere, forever. The London Emergencies Trust, formed in the wake of the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge earlier this year, aims to relieve sickness and disability in victims of emergency incidents and their dependants. Friends of the Future, a charity with its origins in North Norfolk, works to support vulnerable people in Malawi who are affected by poverty and sickness.

The event is the brainchild of Cromer Social Services, a motley group of Cromer residents united by the common aims of organising social events in the town, while simultaneously raising money for good causes. In recent years, Cromer Social Services have been responsible for a number of highly successful events, including gigs by the Sweetbeats and the Piratones.

Cromer Social Services explained ‘As with all our events, this is a night for everyone who is up for a good time in a convivial and fun atmosphere. If you love to dance, the ‘Dead Disco’ is for you! Celebrate the lives of all your musical heroes, from David Bowie to Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse to Marvin Gaye, George Michael to Michael Jackson. There are no cliques, and there is no dress code – other than a requirement to look drop-dead gorgeous!’

Britain’s Most Expensive Divorce Lawyer and the Need for Pre-Nuptial Agreements

The Daily Mail recently ran an article on Ayesha Vardag who acted for the German heiress Katrin Radmacher in Neale Grearson 2010. This was the case that protected Miss Radmacher’s £100 million fortune from her ex-husband Nicolas Granatino because of a Pre-Nuptial Agreement they had entered into. This was a radical change in British divorce law since when the Courts have been much more willing to uphold Pre-Nuptial Agreements.

With the rate of divorces in this country now approaching 1 in 2 the significance and future importance of Pre-Nuptial Agreements has never been greater. For a couple getting married at an early stage in their lives when their financial positions are roughly equal they might conclude that a Pre-Nuptial Agreement is not necessary. For those that might be entering into a second marriage or have inherited wealth earlier in their life Pre-Nuptial Agreements become very important and arguably vital. The Daily Mail quotes Ayesha as saying that “it is like thinking you don’t need fire insurance because your house won’t ever burn down” and that is a fair analogy. The discussion between an engaged couple about having a Pre-Nuptial Agreement may be a difficult one but arguably a Pre-Nuptial Agreement should be part of the pre wedding planning list along with booking a venue and ordering flowers. Is that an over materialistic approach or reality?

The increase in the divorce rate is not necessarily because marriages are less stable. The reality however is that everyone is living longer and during a marriage people do fall out of love with one another. Each (or both) spouses change and it is not an admission of failure to accept that. Making a Will is now accepted as essential (although scarily not everybody does have a Will). Lasting Powers of Attorney are catching up but are still not as widely used as should be the case. Pre-Nuptial Agreements are the next big growth area because in very uncertain

times and the fear of what might happen on a divorce they are likely to become an even more essential part of pre-marriage planning. In fact there is an argument to say that with a Pre-Nuptial Agreement a couple should be even more confident about getting married as the fear about what might happen on a divorce and the financial repercussions is going to be safeguarded against.

The work of divorce lawyers could reduce substantially if everybody had a Pre-Nuptial Agreement. Rather like lawyers earning more money from disputes over Wills where they are not drawn up correctly (or there being no Will at all). Without a Pre-Nuptial Agreement the danger is that a divorcing couple are left in the hands of a Judge with ultimate discretion and no guarantee as to how such things as inherited wealth or pre-owned assets should be taken into account. Pre-Nuptial Agreements are not yet completely enforceable and there is still no legislation to give them formal status but if a Pre-Nuptial Agreement is objectively “fair” and the following three “rules” are carried out the starting point should be that the Pre-Nuptial Agreement is enforceable and it would be for the person opposing it to show good reason why it should not be upheld:

1. Both of the couple take independent advice from a Solicitor. 2. There is an exchange of financial information so that each knows what the other is worth. 3. The Agreement is not entered into too close to the marriage and usually this should be more than 28 days beforehand.

There will always need to be provision for a change or at least a review should there be a fundamental alteration in the situation. In particular if the couple have children that could be a “deal changer” so there does need to be careful drafting of the Agreement.

Flowers for foodies

food, have resorted to using poisonous flowers, with some even making it onto a wedding cake!

By Beckie Grimmer from Norfolk Landscape Gardeners

There’s a fun new craze all about making your food not only taste great, but look picture perfect too. People are finding ingenious ways to bring that flare and extra colour, and a large number of innovative home-chefs are decorating with edible flowers.

Now, of course, eating flowers is certainly not a new concept, but I’ve been seeing some great ways to incorporate them into your dinner party, or simply posh up your granola to give you a morning perk.

Putting flowers into ice cubes preserves their colour and shape and look fantastic dropped into a celebratory glass of something fizzy. This works well with the cucumber flavoured borage flowers in some chilled Pimms. Some people might choose to save time by simply floating fresh flowers atop a punch bowl.

Head of School, Zara Raslan and Deputy Head of School, George Jefford both gave speeches and closed them with a wonderful musical performance. Gresham’s Chairman of Governors, Andrew Martin Smith announced that Cromer-born and former Gresham’s pupil, Sir James Dyson, would become a governor representing the Old Greshamian Club.

Douglas Robb, Gresham’s Headmaster said “We feel deeply honoured that HRH The Princess Royal has agreed to become a Governor of Gresham's in her capacity as Prime Warden of The Fishmongers' Company. She follows in the footsteps of her father and Gresham’s Patron, The Duke of Edinburgh who has been a Governor previously.

“Gresham's is also very excited to welcome Sir James Dyson OM as a Governor from September. The School is in great spirits after a lovely speech day and the opening of new facilities. We are lucky enough to enjoy growing school numbers and are well set for the future.�

Princess Anne handed out prizes to 80 pupils and took the time to speak to each one in turn. After her departure by helicopter, guests enjoyed lunch and many stayed to watch a ‘Staff vs Leavers’ cricket match.

Cromer sea-life mural completed

A large sea-life mural surrounding the new Cromer West Prom play area has been finished.

The 26m-long mural has been painted on the walls around the recently opened shipwreck play area. It depicts underwater flora and fauna local to North Norfolk’s coast, including seals, fish and seaweed.

The new mural is part of North Norfolk District Council’s £1m Cromer West Prom investment that includes the recently opened ‘futureproofed’ catering kiosk, toilets and showers, as well as the play area, that can all be craned to higher ground in the event of a storm surge.

In addition, new benches and picnic seating have been installed on roof-top platforms by the play equipment and Melbourne slope, offering far-reaching views.

Cllr Maggie Prior Cabinet Member for Leisure said “We have had a tremendously positive response from the community regarding the play area and this mural only adds to the excitement of the space. “To be climbing on

a shipwreck, and be surrounded by images of sea creatures and plants just increases the fun and we hope it inspires imaginations.

“The new facilities and refurbishment of West Prom are a superb addition to Cromer and are part of a programme of investments in Cromer to enhance jobs and boost the tourism economy. We hope they will all be enjoyed and

Norfolk Coast Bio Blitz

A partnership including the National Trust, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, RSPB, Natural England and the Holkham Estate, supported by the Norfolk Coast Partnership, have joined forces to undertake a BioBlitz of the North Norfolk Coast - a race against time to identify and record

valued by residents and visitors to Cromer’s wonderful Blue Flag beach.”

The underwater theme was chosen by North Norfolk District Council to also complement planned educational elements to the West Prom that will aim to tell people about the underwater fauna and flora, the Marine Conservation Zone around the chalk reef and the life cycle of the crab.

NNDC worked with Norfolk artist Mark Harper to create the mural. Mark is an experienced mural and theatre set artist.

He said “I enjoyed the challenge of this large mural and the fun I could have with the feel of it enclosing the shipwreck. I think it really works and I hope people walking along the Prom or climbing on the shipwreck enjoy it.”

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

On 8th July we had another very enjoyable day at the Hog Roast at Stephanie’s home. As it was a lovely day the party tents this year provided welcome relief from the sun rather than, as on some occasions, offering shelter from the rain. It was lovely to share the day with our friends and fellow cat lovers and for them to have the opportunity to see some of the cats in our care. We would like to thank all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the day a success but especially Stephanie and Andrea on the catering front and Kenny and Brian for putting the party tents up.

When responding to requests for help with neutering, we often get calls from people who have purchased their pet via one of the websites offering animals for sale. We hear of instances where people have taken a cat or kitten into their homes only to find that they have health issues as the animals have not been to the vets for a health check. They also find that the kitten is much younger than they were advised and should still be with its mother.

We also see cats and kittens for sale at ridiculous prices because of their colour, breed, etc, while an identical cat or kitten may be offered for much less because the owner has not been able to find it a new home. For those looking for a pedigree pet, I would suggest they make sure they see the relevant paperwork giving the animal’s parentage and ensure that they receive the registration forms confirming its pedigree. For all other cats please bear in mind that most charities charge the same adoption fee irrespective of colour or breed. Cats’ Protection Advocacy Department, together with other animal welfare charities, are working hard to try and get changes in the law, which is one of the reasons we do monitor the activities taking place on these sites and can advise them accordingly.

Unfortunately, we get many calls from people needing to re-home their

cats and we do help if we can. However, as our pens are usually full and we always have a waiting list, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to take the cat in straight away or, in some instances, because of the timescale, not at all. Although Stephanie always explains the situation in detail and tries her best to help, either by putting the cat on our waiting list or offering alternative solutions, some people can only see Bailey came into care the situation from their point of view and can be when her owner very rude. Please bear in mind if you are ever in moved and could not this situation, that we are volunteers and there is take her with her only so much we can do.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 it (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) call Stephanie 01692 535858. Or visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered. We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham.

75 Mile Challenge Walk Would you like to help raise funds for the British Heart Foundation?

A new BHF fundraising group has just started up in Cromer, aiming to help win the “fight for every heartbeatâ€?. This is the Cromer group’s first challenge ‌ and it’s refreshing, interesting and healthy!

Seventy five miles of walks over four weeks is Val Smith’s bright idea - to help celebrate her 75th birthday, and to raise funds for her favourite good cause.

She has been inspired by Kieran Sandwell who is walking the coast of Britain to raise funds for the BHF. Kieran, grateful for a lifesaving heart transplant and now able to give something back, came through Cromer in February and Val accompanied him on part of

this walk. Our 75 Mile Challenge Walks range from 2miles to 8.5 miles across countryside, along riverbanks, through woodlands, over hills, along clifftops and beaches. There will be interesting churches to visit, perhaps a nice cafe for a rest stop, and always the glorious Norfolk views to enjoy!

These are comfortable walks and start points are accessible by car or bus. They are taking place on Wednesdays and Fridays during the day and Sundays in the afternoon starting on 12 July. The last walk is on Friday 11 August from Salthouse church, finishing at an exhibition of paintings and films.

Hilary Cox, Chairman of Cromer Walkers are Welcome, is joining Val on all these walks along with other members of the group. Walking is an excellent form of exercise

Armed Forces Day, Cromer

May I take this opportunity to thank all who participated in the above event at the Parish Hall on Saturday 17 June.

All our regular service and ex service organisations were in attendance and a special welcome was given to the excellent display provided by RAF Marham and the aircraft simulator on the Air Training Corps stand. Local schools participated in the Armed Forces Day poster competition and prizes were presented by Brigadier Max Marriner. It was a very hot day during which over 1000 visitors came into the hall

whether it is to get fit or stay fit, it revitalises your energy levels and although sturdy shoes are required it is not an expensive pastime. We are surrounded by wide open skies, diverse countryside and extensive well maintained footpaths. Come and join us and share the fun."

For details of all the walks see www.walkcromer.co.uk or pick up a list & sponsorship form from Rays News at 1 Chapel St, Merchants Place, Icarus Hines, Brownes Cafe in Bond St, or Henry’s Coffee Shop

to view the stands and displays.

Special thanks to Nobby and his 1943 Ford jeep, which was a great attraction, and to Cromer Town Council for flying the AFD flag.

We are grateful for the presence of the Mayor and Town Crier at the event.

The Royal British Legion is keen to attract new members to Cromer branch, which meets at The Cottage on Louden Road at 2pm on the first Wednesday of the month except August. No previous service in the armed forces is required, just a willingness to support the aims of the Royal British Legion.

Inter School Poetry Slam

The inter-school poetry slam was held on Monday 3 July at the Little Theatre in Sheringham.

Four local primary schools, Langham, Holt, Sheringham and Roughton took part and each had three teams of children who performed the poems that they had composed. This was the culmination of a project that involved workshops by Molly Naylor and mini-slams that had been held at each school to determine which teams went forward for the grand slam.

The judges were Debbie Thompson (Director of The Little Theatre), David Bull (Operations Manager of the Holt Festival), Alan Leventhall (Community Librarian for Fakenham and Holt), and Emma Corlett (County Councilor for Norwich)

The prize winners were as follows : • Best Performance - Holt Community Primary School • Best Writing - Langham Village School • Most Original Ideas - St Mary's Endowed CEVA Primary School, Roughton • Highest Scoring Team (for performance and writing) - Leaf of Ideas, Sheringham Community Primary School • Highest Scoring School (for performance and writing) Sheringham Community Primary School

There were also some individual prizes for outstanding achievement.

Phil Barrett, Chairman of FALCON commented "What can I say? This morning’s Grand Slam was a fantastic success, on every level – the confident performances of the children, the atmosphere in the theatre,

the sense of occasion and of being in a theatre, the friendly supportive understanding of the children towards each other, and their different schools, the sense of rising to the occasion, the inclusive and perceptive judging and prize giving, and not least the superb performance by Luke Wright, which would have been the envy of any performance poetry programme. I hope very much that we can find a way of making this event happen again next year, and perhaps of involving even more schools in it. I think it was such an enormously valuable and

Greenbuild's 13th outing will be at Felbrigg Hall, near Cromer, on 9 & 10 September this year. It is designed to show people how to lead a greener lifestyle in an affordable and practical way.

Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council, said “This is a leading event of its type for the region and mixes entertainment for the family with crucial, accessible information about leading a greener lifestyle. We are on the lookout for more exhibitors from the region to join those already registered for this year's weekend, be they returning businesses or people who have never been before. It's a fantastic event and a brilliant chance to find out more, whether you are exhibiting or wanting to find out more about leading a more eco-friendly lifestyle.” There is always plenty of entertainment for the whole family, including talks and one-to-one advice from knowledgeable experts on topics ranging from retro-fitting to eco-friendly heating, food and drink stalls and children's activities. And the annual favourite of three bags of compost for £3, delivered to your car when you leave, will be back. Please note all catering spaces have been booked and there is no availability.

Parking and entry to Greenbuild are free. Opening times are 10.30am to 4.30pm on Saturday 9 September and 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday 10 September.

Cromer Marrams Bowls Club

the team did not lose but drew 4 – 4, so well done to them. At Southrepps one Friday afternoon the team discovered a green where bowls ran against bias and needed more than just a ‘roll’ to reach the jack. As you may gather the result was 0 – 8. When we play friendly games at home, as in all other matches the captains select the rinks to play on at random. Bernard is not impressed with our rink 4 and would rather play on any other. Our friendly visitors this period included Lincolnshire Vice Presidents who played mixed rinks against us. The game was won by Cromer, but the score seems to have eluded me. Watton (Loch Neaton) BC visited, as they do every year, and a very friendly and jolly bunch they were, Again Cromer were the victors by 84 shots to 61. We do seem to be having a very successful season this year I must say. 3 triples visited from Buxton and we missed the showers. Now this was a close game which Cromer just won 50 – 42. I am looking forward to the return match next month. Finally we entertained Aldiss Park BC from Dereham. They always organise a visit to the Cromer Pier Show for the evening so having arrived late morning they enjoy their annual visit to the

Tales from the Bowling Green ...

… where some special treatment has been arranged to make the green even better. It will have been closed for a week by the time you read this, and I hope that the special spaying has been successful. The Hansells NBA Wednesday team have continued with their up and down season. At home against North Walsham the game resulted in a 1 – 4 defeat, but then two days later at home to Holt saw the team reverse the score with a 4 – 1 win. The next game was away to Cawston on their green and the team lost ½ - 4½. You can’t get much worse than that! The Federation team had their first game of this period against Foulsham cancelled as the Bawdeswell green, where the opponents play, was waterlogged. The team then travelled some 46 miles to Marham and lost 0 – 9. All the Cromer players struggled on a challenging green, against many opposition players who were experienced at the conditions. It’s a long journey back after that I can tell you. I have to apologise to the NANSA team, and their Captain Bernard for getting a result wrong last time. At Cawston

seaside. This game saw a large win for Cromer 123 – 80, but this was mainly due to two Cromer rinks winning by large scores and does not really reflect how close the game could have been. Cromer won on 4 rinks and Aldiss Park on 2. I list below our forthcoming ‘Home’ fixtures due to be played, that you may wish to come along, watch and enjoy. Horsham St Faiths will now not be visiting us so the game has been replaced with a Spoon Drive for the first Saturday. As always why not come and see what these events are all about. These will also be the last home Tuesday and Wednesday evening league games of the season, although NANSA league games do continue until the end of August.

A summer of sporting activities

Archery, street dance, multi-sports and football among a wide range of sports and activities on offer for youngsters this summer. A huge range of children's activities will be on offer at North Norfolk District Council-managed community sports centres during the Summer school holidays. The sessions will offer healthy and fun activities for youngsters aged between 4 and 12 years.

Cromer, North Walsham and Stalham sports centres have drawn up their diary of activities, which can be viewed on Facebook, via the North Norfolk District Council website and on leaflets being distributed to local schools.

Activities begin on 24 July and run through to 1 September. Costs range from £3.50 for shorter sessions to £10 for all day sessions. Many of the days feature early drop off and late pick up if parents need to work, meaning wrap around care is often available from 8am to 4.30pm.

North Norfolk District Council is also offering beach events at Cromer, Sea Palling and the Runtons, countryside events at Holt Country Park, Sadlers Wood and Pretty Corner Woods, and the fifth annual Fun Day Out at Pretty Corner Woods.

Cllr Maggie Prior, Cabinet Member for Leisure Health and Wellbeing, said “Whether your child is a trampolining or football fan, or they want to try something new, it is well worth looking at the long list of activities being made available. We’re delighted to be able to offer our community these sessions, which will be run by qualified and dedicated staff, at really affordable prices.”

Tickets can be booked via www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/book or call the sports centres Cromer 01263 515669; North Walsham 01692 402293; Stalham 01692 580864.
