Bittern DX Group New Licensee

Last month saw the first youngster coming through from our educational outreach project run by the Bittern DX group.

The new amateur radio licensee Giles, 12 years old, a student at Cromer Academy gained his Foundation licence which is the first step to becoming a full licence holder and has been given the amateur radio call sign M6YGK. This allows him to ‘go on air’ with limited use of the amateur bands in the UK.

There are three steps to gaining a full licence in the UK - Foundation licence, Intermediate and Advanced, which will then give the radio enthusiast full use of all the UK allocated bands.

The educational outreach project run by the Bittern DX group, sponsored by the Lottery grant fund, Club chairman Steve M0HET presents Giles is aimed at the general M6YGK with his Foundation licence at our regular public but primarily monthly club meeting at the Ex- Serviceman's club youngsters, to show in Aylsham. them the amazing things that amateurs can do with the radio and to encourage them to look at electronics engineering and space exploration as a career for the future.

The President welcomed 43 members to our March meeting - one new member and one visitor.

We had a cookery demonstration by Val Lodge, who was helped by Dorothy Shannon who are both members of Cromer WI. Val made a basic Victoria sponge cake and a red onion and sausage flan. While these were cooking, Val told us how she got involved with cooking and the WI. She has cooked for many WI events and done many cookery courses including a City and Guilds in Sugarcraft. She also brought along some recipes from her mother that date back to the 1920s and 1930s, one of which was a recipe for Marrow Rum!

Sheringham - only As a female born in 1944, she was not expected to achieve much. In her own email changed words, she endured “a pretty miserable childhood”, often being left alone in the Leonie Barnett was our Speaker for our March meeting. Leonie gave a talk based on her life in Leicester as the only girl in a family of boys.

evening when her mother, evidently quite a character, visited the local pub.

A clever girl, she left school at 14, to work full time in a hosiery factory – a mind numbing, soul-destroying job. She later did an OU course which opened the door to a more fulfilling life. She wrote a book titled (as was her talk) ‘I had it in me’, short passages from which were woven into her talk. She spoke movingly about one of her brothers, Joe Orton, who became a famous playwright and a member of RADA. Tragically Leonie first learned of his death from a BBC News Bulletin.

Members were asked to bring items for a Bring and Buy stall and cakes for a fund raising event at Northrepps Village Hall on 22 April. This is one of a number of events to raise funds to re-roof Northrepps Church.

Arrangements are well underway for a coach trip to Sandringham House, gardens and museum in June, but before then, one April morning an `army` of WI folk will be doing a Beach Clean. Other members of the public are expected to join us.

WHYâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;CHOOSE SILVER SIL VER & WARD WARD SOLICIT ORS in 201 ?

201 ?

SOLICITORS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.â&#x20AC;?

I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor.

I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difficult difficult time for many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney.

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.

I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offers offers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT APPOINTMENT,, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay 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 advise new clients to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop aroundâ&#x20AC;? as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offer offer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norfolk 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.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry in 201 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.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Stephanie gets lots of calls from people either hoping to give a cat a new home or needing their cat to come into care. She also receives lots from people looking for advice some of which she cannot help with as the person really needs to speak to someone in the veterinary world.

At this time of year Stephanie knows from previous years that she will get a lot more calls than usual relating to missing cats. Most of MOTOR SERVICES LIMITED these calls will relate to young cats and www.kellyclarkemotorservices.co.uk kittens that have not been neutered. The unneutered females start to call and the unneutered males will travel many miles to find a mate. Often the callers will be unaware that kittens can reach sexual maturity and breed from four months old, not ideal as the kittens have not finished growing themselves. Even cats that have only known a life indoors will take any opportunity offered to escape to find a mate. Although some do return home,

this is not always the case, as cats can become disorientated and lose their bearings and often end up as strays needing to be taken into care. This may be as a heavily pregnant young female, a young mum with kittens or a young male many miles from his original home. Unless they have been micro chipped there is very little chance of us being able to find the original owner who will always wonder what happened to their young cat.

This is one of the reasons we do promote neutering and why we are only too happy to help those on Taz, a lovely young cat low incomes and benefits with the cost of the operation who loves a fuss with one of the vets we use and have accounts with.

Stephanie will also advise the benefits of having a cat/kitten neutered to avoid the heartache of worrying what has happened to a much loved member of the family. The males are less likely to roam, thus reducing the risk of a car accident, less likely to fight, which reduces the risk of them getting injured or contracting a serious disease, less likely to spray or develop tumours of the testicles and they will make better pets, being more likely to be homebodies.

Benefits for the females are not becoming pregnant, the cat will not wail and call every three weeks, is less likely to contract diseases spread by bites and mating behaviour and will not develop cancer of the ovaries or uterus. There is also a reduced risk of developing mammary cancer.

Every year we take in lots of young cats that have lost their way but we also receive calls from owners who had not realised that their female kitten could get pregnant at such a young age, and have not recognised the significance of its strange behaviour, when it is calling. Any kittens born as a consequence may come into care for re-homing, be checked by our vets, vaccinated, chipped, treated for fleas and worms and given a voucher to be neutered when old enough and we will help with getting the mother neutered.

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) give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

Cromer Northern Soul night will keep you ‘Up Quite Late’

Cromer Soul Club returns to the town’s Community Centre on 21 April for another Keep the Faith night of classic Northern Soul with resident DJs Hitman Hawkins and Trevor Half- Nelson behind the decks.

The Club’s previous outing in February raised a record £467.50 for the Young Minds charity following the night’s biggest turnout yet.

In true Northern tradition, Keep the Faith is a vinyl 45s-only affair and covers a broad spectrum of the sub-culture’s repertoire.

In April, the Club will again be giving away free badges to early arrivals. The new designs feature a Northern Soul owl with a choice between ‘Keep the Faith’ or ‘Up Quite Late’.

This time round, the Club will be raising money for Norfolk Centre for Young Musicians (NCYM), a division of the Guildhall School for Music and Drama.

NCYM provides high-quality music tuition to children from all backgrounds, regardless of financial means, through its Saturday-morning music school, based at City of Norwich School.

Keep the Faith, Cromer Community Centre, Sat 21 April 21 7.30pm-midnight, £5 on the door.

Cantamus May Concerts

Evening concert Friday 25 May at 7pm, Thorpe Market Church, NR11 8UA Evening concert Saturday 26 May at 7pm, West Runton Church, NR27 9QT conducted by Philip Adams, piano accompaniment by Michael Finnissy

Following on from the success of the most recent national CoMA concert (Contemporary Music for All) at West Runton Church, in spite of the March snow drifts, Cantamus will be performing a new repertoire of music ‘From the Bavarian Highlands’ by Sir Edward Elgar, one of the greatest and best known English composers, and ‘Folk-Song Settings’ by Percy Grainger, an Australian composer who played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th century.

Percy Grainger’s folk song settings, mostly from Lincolnshire, are some of the most sensitive and beautiful ever written. Grainger collected with wax-cylinder recording equipment, and always credited the singers in published copies. The English Folk Song and Dance Society initially refused to house this material, and it was deposited in the Library of Congress in Washington USA. Fortunately, copies are now held by the British Library in London.

The folksong elements in Elgar’s 'From the Bavarian Highlands’ are made up, but no less enchanting. Later on Elgar’s celebration of England, although held to be somewhat jingoistic, is actually melancholic and equivocal. We must remember that Elgar’s genius was first recognised in Germany, perhaps in the Bavarian Highlands!

Cantamus began as a community choir at St Margaret’s church in Thorpe Market, part of a strong musical tradition that has flourished in the church for a number of years. Under the Directorship of Philip Adams the choir has successfully been expanding its repertoire and scope. Those wishing to join the choir are welcome to get in touch. We rehearse on Thursday evenings 7.30pm - 9.30pm.

‘Do Not Resuscitate’

Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr

We are introducing a small credit-card-sized card for our clients who make a Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare (“LPA-H+W”) or an Advance Decision (also known as a “Living Will”). In the same way as a kidney donor card, this can be carried at all times to alert medics to the existence of the LPA-H+W. When found, it can be acted upon quickly, especially in an emergency. Also, it is a good idea to register your LPA-H+W with your GP and medical Consultant. These two steps should ensure that you are not resuscitated if you do not wish to be.

Increasingly, care plans of care home residents and hospital patients note any decision on their resuscitation; however, a recent report found that up to 40,000 patients a year across England were having Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) orders imposed on them without their families being made aware.

A DNR order refers to a decision by medics not to attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) if a patient’s heart stops beating or they stop breathing. It does not cover other treatment decisions.

CPR in real life is not the same as on a television drama and is often a massively physical process which, as well as possibly being futile, can result in broken ribs, bruising and pain and much reduced quality of life. Yet many families see it as something that should be done to save their loved one. For many, not performing CPR means giving up and accepting death.

Factors affecting a patient’s decision on the withholding of life-sustaining treatment include the acceptance of the inevitable progression of disease, trust of doctors, the feeling of being a burden to others, symptoms and the preference to die naturally.

Your legal matters in safe hands Hayes + Storr Solicitors handle a whole range of personal and family legal matters with care and professionalism.

A medical clinician has the responsibility for deciding whether a particular treatment is or is not necessary and appropriate for the patient; this includes the pros and cons of CPR. There is a presumption of patient involvement and that of their family wherever possible.

It is not lawful for a medic to treat a patient who has capacity and refuses treatment. Nor is it lawful to treat a patient who lacks mental capacity if he has made a valid Advance Decision to refuse it. Neither, is it lawful to treat a patient if he has made a LPA-H+W (with the relevant powers given) and the attorney (acting in their best interests and as their proxy) refuses such treatment. If a clinician treats a patient against such a decision, and if that decision is known about by the clinician, it is a criminal offence.

Sensitive consultation with and support of families about DNR prevents trauma and distrust of the medical system, thereby enabling the patient to have a ‘good death’.

Noninvasive Face Lifting

“I don’t want a facelift, but can’t you just tighten up some of this saggy skin a little?”

It is a question asked in aesthetic practices around the world. With new advances in technology and treatment protocols, answers are shifting from a tentative “maybe” to a qualified “yes.”

“My patients love that they can have a treatment in the morning and attend a social function in the evening with no trace of having had a medical procedure—just nicer looking skin.” Says Dr Sanjay Gheyi, Medical Director and Laser Surgeon at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic.

Gravity wins out over time and with facial volume loss, untreated skin begins to sag and lose its elasticity. Advancements in technology have made it possible to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging without undergoing surgery. “This precision contributes to both safety and effectiveness, and because this is accomplished without damaging the superficial layers of skin, patients experience no down time.” Not only do we help wrinkling, it also decreases pore size, brings out a better texture, and a better appearance to the skin. Unlike lasers, it can be used on all skin colours, even very dark skin.

“Very elderly patients with severe sagging and wrinkles are, in general, suboptimal candidates for the modest to moderate improvement possible with noninvasive tightening devices,” says Dr. Gheyi. “Younger to middle-aged patients with early laxity and wrinkles are better candidates.”

However skin condition can be a better indicator than age. “If the skin is in good condition, even older patients will show visible improvement,” he says.

We use radiofrequency and ultrasound waves for no-downtime rejuvenation treatment, which stimulates the fibroblasts to produce more collagen.

Patients love the treatments because they are comfortable without pain medication or numbing creams. With this technique, patients see some instant improvement with increased collagen regeneration and skin firmness that becomes visible over the next 3 to 4 months and continues for up to 12 months.

It can tighten loose skin on any area of the body such as tummy and arms

and can be used with ultrasound to reduce areas of localized fat that cannot be improved with diet or exercise.

Returning for its 5th year, the festival that has been dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;North Norfolkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendliest eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, is returning home to the Village of Trunch, the place where it all started.

Trunchonbury opens at 12pm on Friday 24 August and closes at 10pm on Sunday 26 August.

Tucked away in a pretty paddock, the theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wizard of Ozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the Trunchonbury team really do believe â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There Is No Place Like Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Geared very much towards entertainment for the whole family, the festival has plenty for everyone. On the main stage are some of the finest bands from around the region and a few showstoppers from further afield. Headlining on Friday are Backbeat Soundsystem, an 8 piece Funk Reggae outfit from Cornwall. On Saturday, the stage will once again bounce along to the Jive crafted stylings of Mr Bruce and DJ Chucks AKA The Correspondents and Sunday night will see the return of one of the Trunchonbury family as local musician Wayne Beauchamp and Those Deadbeat Cats bring the festival to a final crescendo. Definitely not to be missed there are plans afoot to get the whole arena dancing to the bands classic take on traditional and not so classic Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Roll.

Elsewhere in the festival you will find the JRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field with a huge array of events taking place throughout the day and into the early evening. Story-telling, crafting, creepy crawlies, discos and tons more for toddlers

upwards. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even an area for the really tiny ones to enjoy themselves, all within sight of the main stage, so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss any of the bands as your young ones play.

The Disco Shed is back for miniscule discos, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blakeysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Bus that is really a Bar will be open for business every day and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wide selection of food stalls in the onsite village that cater for even the pickiest of eaters. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even be able to get a morning Bacon Butty with a cup of tea from stall in the campsite. In the Acoustic tent some unbelievably talented acts will once again grace the stage and on Sunday, the mighty BBC Introducing will stage a takeover, bringing yet more unmissable talent to the field. Headlining this year are incredible Fairgreen Ceilidh Band on Friday, the blindingly good Swing Caravan on Saturday and the frenzy that is the Spanish guitars of De Fuego on Sunday. And this year, we are introducing the Busk Stop.

Situated just outside the main gate it will be a chance to hear some of the bands who have play in the acoustic stage, and maybe even some from the main stage, as they return to their busking roots. As with last year, you will also find within the tent the Real Ale and Cider Bar, guaranteed to make you feel like you are down at your local watching the best band that has ever played there.

The Performing Arts Stage once again bring you everything from dance workshops and comedy to drum lessons and recycled art. Frank Morris brings his unique, vibrant magical art to the festival and The Norwich Swing Dance Collective will have your twirling around the tent. Keep an eye out for the timetable near the tent so that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a thing. In the evening the tent transforms into the Dance Tent with some of the Fattest, Funkiest DJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever booked! Disco, Motown, Soul, and the Cheesiest of Happy House are amongst the genres that provide the perfect playlist to finish the day, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to stop dancing when the bands finish, just get yourself over to the tent!

Also returning to Trunchonbury will be the Healing fields with a raft of Holistic Healers on hand to sooth away aches and pains and the Vets, for all your pet related questions, There will be stalls in our market and the funfair is on sight with traditional rides as well as Snowy Mountain and an inflatable slide. On Sunday we will encourage all the men to don a dress again for ladies day and ladies, this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about hats and hair for you. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to show you all what we have been working on, so make sure you grab your early bird ticket as the offer runs out at the end of April. www.trunchonburyfestival/tickets

Humphry Repton’s landscapes celebrated 200 years after his death

Saturday 24 March marked 200 years since the death of Humphry Repton, the last great landscape designer of the eighteenth century.

To celebrate his life and work, the National Trust teamed up with International Garden Photographer of the Year to host a special category in this year’s photography exhibition that capture Repton’s landscapes today.

The winning image, announced on the bicentenary of Repton’s death, is ‘The Last Rays of Sun’, taken in Repton’s Warley Woods in the West Midlands by Simon Lea.

The winning entry will be displayed at Sheringham Park from Saturday 1 September to Sunday 28 October. A selection of the best entries to the Repton Landscape category, specially created for this anniversary year, will also be on display.

The quality of the photographic entries received demonstrates just how well Repton’s work is still appreciated 200 years on from his passing, with images of landscapes including the National Trust’s Sheringham Park and Wimpole Estate, as well as Woburn Abbey and Gardens, among the entries.

vision of Repton and the majesty of his designs. It is a beautiful composition, which is balanced with the people in the middle ground and the beautifully shaped trees beyond.”

Sheringham Park takes the lead in the National Trust’s celebrations of the bicentenary of his life.

The International Garden Photographer of the Year Exhibition is just one of the ways Sheringham Park is celebrating Repton’s life this year. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a Sheringham Park is programme of events, including widely regarded as a series of guided walks, a the best example of lecture and a living history Repton’s work in the weekend that all focus on The Last Rays of Sun . Simon Lea country and one Repton. The year of celebrations which he described will culminate with a light show himself as his “most favourite work”. This in November that will illuminate Repton’s is some accolade as Repton was involved landscape in a way that has never been in excess of 400 commissions during his seen before. To find out more visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sheringhampark 30 year career. It’s therefore only fitting that

Malcolm Fisher is the National Trust’s Visitor Experience Manager at Sheringham Park “We were delighted to see so many entries showcasing the work of such an important figure in British landscape history. We’re looking forward to seeing the winning images displayed at Sheringham Park this September. As a great artist himself, I am sure Repton would have been pleased to see his work captured in this way.”

Tyrone McGlinchey, Managing Director of IGPOTY said “Simon Lea’s photograph encapsulates the

Arctic Winds

When freezing cold winds blew in from Russia, Blasting our temperate shores, The chaos and mayhem it left in its wake Appalled all who ventured outdoors!

Snowdrifts and black ice abounded, Causing disruption and havoc galore.

Vehicles and people were stranded, Making even short journeys a chore.

Power went down and water pipes burst, Causing even more grief than before, With temperatures well below freezing, People struggled to get to a store.

Now that it’s gone, we’re all trying hard To get back to normal once more, To get on with life the way that it was Before Arctic winds paid us a call!

North Norfolk to host national Blue Flag awards ceremony

Blue Flag winners from around the country to be invited to Cromer.

The annual awards ceremony which sees Keep Britain Tidy hand out Blue Flags and Seaside Awards to local authorities will be held in Cromer in May.

Last year North Norfolk District Council had its most successful set of Blue Flag results when the district secured six flags – at East Runton, West Runton, Cromer, Mundesley, Sea Palling and Sheringham.

The awards recognise the top tier of English beaches and are given out only to those sites that have the highest quality of water, facilities, environmental education and management, with superb levels of cleanliness and safety.

The awards will be hosted on Cromer Pier on 17 May. The suggestion that Cromer could host the event was made during last year’s Blue Flag ceremony, which was held in Bournemouth.

Cllr John Lee, Leader of North Norfolk District

Council, said “The Blue Flag is the quality mark for our beaches and they mean that those visiting them can be sure that they are clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well as the tough international bathing water quality standards.

“I’m delighted that Cromer will host the Keep Britain Tidy awards event.”

Cllr Becky Palmer, Cabinet Member for Leisure & Culture, said “The fact that winners from around the country will visit Cromer is a reflection of the high standards delivered across North Norfolk’s beaches.”

Allison Ogden-Newton, Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, said “Every year the launch

of our Blue Flag and Seaside Awards is a chance to celebrate the fantastic beaches around our coastline that are so loved by locals and the millions of tourists who visit them each year.

“We are delighted to be holding this year’s celebration event in Cromer and would like to thank North Norfolk District Council for hosting it.”

Weather by Ned Nimbus

The past three months’ weather has been mixed but since 'The Beast From The East' the trend has been unsettled and cold because the jet stream has been continually to the south of us, also bringing record breaking cold conditions to Europe and miserable weather to areas that are normally settled and mild. This is not climate change merely a variation in weather conditions which happens in all climates.

The next three months will see a slow erratic move away from cold, unsettled conditions as the jet stream moves back to a normal northerly route. However, there is a lot of cold air in the Northern Hemisphere to be warmed up, so the process will be quite volatile as the cold air and the heat of the sun combine. It will take the majority of the next three months to complete the transition into a decent run of summery conditions.

CROMER FLOWER CLUB

Our March demonstrator was Melissa Sheldrake and her title ‘Flights of Fancy’.

We were lucky to see the whole of National Flower Arrangers’ Test. She started with a Harry Potter magical arrangement, a broomstick being the mode of flight! It was based around a contorted willow branch and a wire cobweb, the greenery fatsia and rubus tricila and flowers were pink antirrhinums and green chrysanthemums.

Next she used a bamboo kite. She has a very clever husband who makes her props. The kite was filled with various exotic greenery and little sunflowers.

As she worked we had music and a few poems.

The vote of thanks was given by Jane Grint.

The best in show for our monthly competition ‘Arrangement in a Cage’ was Val Kirkwood who made a charming arrangement of arums italicum, baby’s breath with orchids and hellebores arranged on a piece of wood. (she does love a nice piece of wood). It was then caged in green midelino sticks.

Next month we will welcome Pat Burton who will demonstrate ‘Where in the World’ at the Primary School on 16 April at 7.20pm.

An amazing wooden bird appeared and was filled with a beautiful and romantic arrangement of pink roses and lisianthus, complimented with hedge ivy sprayed gold. It was a NAFAS bird, but not an old one.

The fourth arrangement took us up in a hot air balloon with a lovely spring arrangement of forsythia, arum italicum, contorted hazel, rosemary purple and yellow tulips and daffodils. The balloon then literally rose on its stand. We then went all James Bond in Skyfall with a wonderful parachute decorated with viburnum, asparagus fern and orchids.

Last, but certainly not least was a white angel. It was decorate with Asparagus fern sprayed silver, white lisianthus white atirrhinums, gypsophila and the whole was arranged with 2 large harps also decorated with white flowers.

Norfolk's canal included in national boating challenge

Restoration of a unique Norfolk canal has been so successful that it has been included in a national challenge for boat users.

Yappers & Barkers The Dog Shop

Enthusiasts from all over England and Wales are set to navigate the upper section of the North Walsham and Dilham Canal in a bid to gain a new Inland Waterways Association (IWA) award.

The IWA, a charity which works to protect and restore the country's 6,500 miles of canals and rivers, has included a onemile section, from Ebridge Mill pond to Bacton Wood lock, in its Silver Propellor challenge, aimed at encouraging members to explore some of the country's lesser-known waterways.

The 19th century canal is one of 20 destinations around the country suitable for portable craft such as canoes, kayaks and paddleboards which those taking part in the challenge must prove they have tackled in order to gain the Silver Propellor medal.

Canoeists enjoying a stretch of the upper canal during a Ivan Cane, chairman of the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust, hopes the challenge North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust Open Day Photo: Julie Kelleher will help promote the canal beyond Norfolk. "The biggest reward for all our volunteers’

work in opening up this section of the North Walsham and Dilham Canal is to see boats using it. We are thrilled that our local Norfolk canal has been included in this national scheme," said Mr Cane.

Trust volunteers have been working to restore the upper canal with Laurie Ashton's Old Canal Company, which owns the waterway between Ebridge lock and Swafield. In January a successful trial re-watering was carried out on a stretch between Pigneys Wood and Bacton Wood lock which had been dry for at least half a century.

Cromer Marrams Bowls Club News from the Club House ...

First up, I must apologise to the bowling green ‘aficionados’ who must have winced at the thought of the green being scarified and mown so early in the season as I reported a few weeks ago!

testing it for line and length.

The short mat season 4 wood cup competition reached its climax with Neil P (the tall one) playing Neil C (the short one). For the first six ends there was nothing to choose between them at 7-7. Neil P then managed to gain two shots on each of the next three ends to lead 13-7. With only two ends left Neil C needed something special but try as he might he could only gain one shot on the penultimate end. So, congratulations to Neil P on a 13-8 victory.

In fact the poor weather has, not surprisingly, affected timings. So in the past two weeks the green should hopefully have had a dose of moss killer, weed and feed, scarification and mowing so that this weekend, 14-15 April, you may see the first signs of ‘fledgling’ bowlers

Bob and James are still contesting the top place
