Cromer RNLI farewell to retiring Chairman and Admin Officers
Continued from front cover... Tony was Chairman of Cromer RNLI for the past 33 years and had many anecdotes to share with those assembled, then he presented the station with a painting for the crew room.
There was a family connection when Peter Stibbons was asked to come and receive his presentation - his cousin Richard Leeds – Cromer RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager – informed the assembly that Peter had first joined Cromer RNLI in 1960. Before becoming Administration Officer, Peter had been a member of the crew of the inshore lifeboat, this was at a time before a tractor was used but after the use of horses to launch the boat, it had to Richard Leeds (LOM) with Peter Stibbons be pulled down onto the and John Davies (Coxswain) beach! Peter also shared some of his memories of serving during his many years at Cromer RNLI. He said he would miss everyone at Cromer RNLI but the painting would always remind him of the friendships he had made. An announcement about a new chairperson will be made soon.
BE PART OF THE CREDIT UNION
A new credit union is coming to Cromer and they are asking for volunteers who have a few hours to spare each week to help to run it.
Credit Unions are financial co-operatives, owned and run by their members with a self-help ethos that enables members to save regularly and borrow money to suit their own personal budget and circumstances. There are currently around 500 credit unions in the UK with around a million members. This number is growing daily and the recent BBC1 documentary series A Matter of Life and Debt, which told the stories of people whose lives have been transformed by an ethical loan, has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of enquiries to credit unions across the country.
With the support of a grant from Cromer Town Council, the local development group is looking to establish Shipden Savers to enable people to save and have access to affordable loans.
Anyone who would like to be part of bringing a positive change to the community should go along to the Cromer Community Centre on Garden Street on Tuesday 28 November at 7pm. Volunteers that cannot attend but want to be involved, please email, creditunion@cromercommunity.co.uk.

Stage rock star has wizard new role in seaside panto
Nina’s Wine bar & Bistro Lees Yard Holt NR25 6HS Open 11 am to 11 pm
A stage star who has led a smash hit rock musical in London’s West End will be heard at a north Norfolk pantomime next month.
Food served 12 noon to 2 pm & 6.30 pm to 9 pm Open Sunday lunchtime
David Fynn took the lead in the stage version of School of Rock, taking the role of Dewey Finn made famous by Jack Black in the movie version. Now the actor, who lives in Los Angeles, is set to feature as the voice of the Wizard of Oz at Sheringham over the festive period.
01263 710138
The star link-up comes through panto director Nick Earnshaw who went to drama school in London with David – as well as panto dame Shane Armstrong.
“We were at the Webber Douglas drama school together and when I needed a larger-than-life voice for the panto, he came to mind. I was thrilled when he said’ yes’, although it meant I had to rewrite his part to suit his big ego character.”
Irishman David, who recorded his part in a studio in LA, caught the acting bug when playing the lead role in a school production of Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. His first professional part was NBC : David Fynn – who starred in School in the TV series Spooks where two of his three lines were cut. But he has of Rock in London and gone on to work in the National Theatre, and have parts in Doctor Who, will be the voice of the Sherlock and Game of Thrones before starring landing the star role in the Wizard in Sheringham’s London production of School of Rock for the past year. David and Nick have worked together in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in 2005 with panto this year. David as Sir Toby Belch and Nick as Feste the fool.
Mr Earnshaw said this year’s panto was a “dream team” of a really strong professional cast, bolstered by local dance school youngsters.
His version will be based on the traditional tale – but with modern music, puppetry, magic, special effects including fire and snow, two chase scenes, and … The Guillotine of Doom.
“The challenge is getting the audience to forget about the Judy Garland movie and enjoy our take on the original story,” he added.
Sheringham Little Theatre director Debbie Thompson said “Having a star like David appear in our show is a real boost. We’re hoping he will make our wizard a real rocking role.”
The panto runs from 9 December to 1 January. For tickets and information contact the Sheringham Little Theatre on 01263 822347 or visit www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com

Clapham & Collinge Solicitors announce first 'Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme' taking place throughout November 2017
As we continue with our campaign to raise awareness about the legal and financial implications of dementia and the importance of having the correct legal documents in place, we are offering a 25% discount on Lasting Powers of Attorneys throughout November. In addition to this discount, Clapham & Collinge Solicitors will also make a £40.00 donation per Lasting Power of Attorney appointment to support 4 Norfolk based charities. Our selected charities are: • The Benjamin Foundation • Norfolk & Norwich Association for the Blind • North Walsham Dementia Support Group • Sheringham Little Theatre
‘‘I am delighted to be launching our first 'Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme' this November which is traditionally 'support a charity month'. We have a great relationship with all of our chosen charities and this scheme will mean that the monies raised will help them continue with the great work they do across Norfolk'’ said Andrea Smith,
Marketing executive.
If you lose the ability to manage your own affairs, a partner or family member cannot automatically deal with things on your behalf. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables people you choose to have legal authority to make certain decisions for you, if you become unable to make them yourself. A Lasting Power of Attorney gives you the reassurance of knowing your wishes will be respected if you become unable to make decisions for yourself, and it enables people you choose to have access to your finances to make payments on your behalf.
Lin Whitehead, Head of the Wills, Trusts and Probate team at Clapham & Collinge said ‘‘Ensuring you have the right correct legal documents in place and forward planning can protect yourself and your loved ones. I always advise my clients to plan ahead for later life and have those important conversations with their family and friends while they can'’.
The cost of preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney, will depend on whether Lin Whitehead you wish to have both a Lasting Power of Attorney (Property and Financial Affairs) and/or a Lasting Power of Attorney (Health and Welfare) prepared and registered. If you instruct us through this scheme and you would also like to make a Will, we will offer Wills at our usual fee but will also make an additional £40 donation to the 4 Norfolk based charities. All appointments must take place by Friday 1st December 2017.
To claim your discount and book your November appointment, please contact the North Norfolk team today. Contact our North Walsham branch by calling 01692 660230 or our Sheringham branch on 01263 823398.

THE HEALTH VOLuNTEER SERVICE links volunteers with
people who are experiencing long term health conditions, which leave them socially isolated and less able to participate in their local community.
It is a befriending service that reduces loneliness by actively matching volunteers with people who are in need of a positive change in their life. Staff from Voluntary Norfolk will be at Sheringham library from 10am on 22 November and Tesco’s Sheringham from 10:30am on 28 November, to promote and recruit for their health volunteer service.
If you would be interested in becoming a volunteer or you would like to find out some more information, please go along and say hello to them at one of these venues. If you cannot make it to one of these dates, call 01263519454, email chloe.edwards@voluntarynorfolk.org.uk or drop in on Tuesdays at their Merchants Place office in Cromer to speak to Chloe about your interest.

Popular Cromer business set to celebrate 10 years in the town The Old Rock Shop Bistro is open 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday, with food served all day.
A popular Cromer business is set to celebrate its 10th year in the town. The Old Rock Shop Bistro, on Hamilton Road, was taken over by Sam Grout in November 2007.
For more information visit www.theoldrockshopbistro.co.uk or call 01263 511926.
Open seven days a week the Bistro is run by Sam and his sister Rachel Grout. Sam, 31, said: “I started working in the café that was previously on this site back in 2003 and when the business came up for sale I took it over in 2007.
“We renamed the business to reflect the heritage of the building. If you know Cromer well, you may remember it as J&M's Rock Shop, a tourist favourite that traded on the site for over 20 years.”
Serving an array of breakfasts, lunches, cakes and pastries, the team also offer a reliable and trusted catering service in homes, community venues and businesses across the region. Over the past decade, Sam and his team have made plenty of changes to the town-centre bistro, and proudly source meat, fish and other ingredients from local suppliers in the town.
To mark 10 years in Cromer the Bistro will be offering free coffee refills throughout November and are inviting customers to share their big birthday cake on November 2.

Garden Fences Ready for Winter By Matt Carltton of Norfolk Landscape Gardeners Willie Nelson once said;
“And after all the warmth Of the Summer and the Fall Cold November wind Cuts the deepest of them all”
He was right.
Those of you who read my previous article about trees will hopefully remember that I urged you to step out into your garden to look at your trees. This month, I would like you to do the same but to pay attention to the rest of the garden and think about how the worst of the winter weather may affect it.
Fence panels are an obvious place to start. As we enter a season of tempestuous wind, the forces acting on a fence panel can be quite dramatic. The continuous movement of panels and posts can start to cause areas where that stress becomes concentrated (for example, on fence posts at ground level) which can become fatigued and weakened. Before long, you wake to find your fence laying on your lawn and the neighbour’s
01692 405301
ND ME M CO RE
dog merrily “fertilising” your flowerbed.
Prevention is much better than cure.
Those old panels and posts which you have been meaning to “do something about” could be about to make your life more expensive and aggravating than it needs to be. New fencing is not hugely pricey and looked as saving you money and time in the long run, is well worth the investment.
Take a moment to have a look at your fencing and be honest with yourself. If it looks a little tired, don’t wait for it to fail. Be proactive, it is much more economical to do so than to put right a problem once it occurs. Give us a call and we’ll be delighted to come and assess your fence and make our recommendations.
Please bear in mind that not all companies
are equal. There are, essentially, two main “schools” of fencing contractor. There are those who will provide the cheapest (usually feather edge or shiplap) panels and cheap lowgrade posts, and who will usually provide a “tooth sucking” quote, probably written on the back of an old McDonalds receipt. Then there are others, like ourselves, who will accurately assess and measure your fence, discuss your personal requirements, and submit a rational, honest and fair estimate, using the highest quality products sourced locally from suppliers with whom we have worked for many years.
Please don’t allow yourself to be “fobbed off” with a cheap quote. Choose something which will last, season after season, year after year. Give Norfolk Landscape Gardeners a call, all our concrete work is guaranteed for 10 years, all our quotes and estimates are free, and we can even create bespoke, custom fence panels to your specification.

North East Norfolk Bird Club
'An Introduction to Birdsong' talk with Moss Taylor & Andy Clarke on 30 November 7.30pm – 9.30pm
The sound of the dawn chorus in spring is surely one of the wonders of the natural world, but birds do not only sing in spring. So, how and why do birds sing, when do they sing, and how do you learn all those different vocalisations? In a repeat of their popular double-act on seabirds, Andy Clarke will give us a brief introduction to how and why birds sing, followed by a guide from Moss Taylor on how to recognise 14 of the commonest bird songs, illustrated with recordings and photographs.
To l
As a contribution to phenology (the study of seasonal changes in animals and plants, which is becoming increasingly important due to the current period of climate change), the recording of song periods is one of two new NENBC projects starting this winter, and this project will start in December.
Venue - Aylmerton Village Hall, NR11 8PX. Please park along Church Road or in the overflow car park at the church. Please ensure that local residents can still access their driveways and there is sufficient clearance for agricultural vehicles to use the road. A torch might also be helpful, as the village has no street lighting. To keep the club's carbon footprint small, please consider car sharing.

Sheringham Little Theatre has launched a Friendly Faces scheme for people who would like to see a show or movie but have no one to go with.
The new venture - for matinee performances only - is aimed at those who are bereaved, lonely, or just lacking confidence in stepping out to visit the theatre.
Friendly Faces co-ordinator Joan Thame Photo: Richard Batson
Theatre director Debbie Thompson said “We are aware there are people out there who would love to see live stage drama or a film but are put off by the prospect of going alone. We aim to be a theatre for the whole community and the scheme means those people can come, be met by a Friendly Face – and, if they wish, share their experience with like-minded folk.
Going to the theatre is always a richer experience if you do with someone else, and Friendly Faces enables people on their own to link up with new friends and chat about the show. But even if you don’t want to mix, it means there will always be someone to meet you – one of our Friendly Face contact volunteers. “They can introduce you to others in the same situation, so you are never alone. But if you just wanted to be greeted and left in peace, that is fine too” said Mrs Thompson.
The Friendly Faces team, led by theatre trustee Joan Thame, can arrange for people to share a table at the interval in their own special group to discuss the event over a drink.
Mrs Thame added “This is for people who love theatre but find it a bit overwhelming to attend on their own, whatever their circumstances. We hope this scheme will make them feel welcome to come and enjoy shows in a relaxed social setting – and maybe even make some new friends.”
People just need to phone the box office on 01263 822347, or drop in, and flag up that they would like to join the group for one of the afternoon shows.
Age Concern North Norfolk hosted a DEMENTIA AWARE BREAKFAST EVENT and were pleased to host
Ministers from several local churches to a hearty and healthy breakfast at their Day Centre , 35b Cremer Street, Sheringham.
An informative talk about Dementia Friendly Communities was given by Jennie Cummings-Knight, Chair of Age Concern. The breakfast was also attended by trustees and staff from the Day Centre Hub at Age Concern, along with regular customers who dropped in throughout the event. The talk, which gave tips on supporting those with dementia and their families, as well as information about diet and healthy lifestyles, was followed by much lively discussion.
The ministers were able to gain useful knowledge about their local charity, Age Concern North Norfolk, which is staffed by a small team of paid staff with a larger group of volunteers and offers a range of services including a Lunch Club. Day Centre, Befriending and Home Visits and also includes Meals on Heels for those unable to get to the centre.
Pop in for a visit Tuesday to Saturday 9am – 3pm and speak to the Manager, Angela Reith, or telephone Susan 01263 821188 about what is on offer. They will be pleased to see you! 20

In memory of those who suffered. I remember the quiet of that place. Where guns once rattled like tin cans on a wedding car. Sergeant Bently, straightened his back, gulped, and shouted “Come on me lads”; before stopping an early morning bullet and dying strangely, mud spattered, blood spatterd, where poppies now grow. Red poppies sway in the breeze. Sam's body splayed awkwardly. Rotting on Flanders muddy pasture; the clouds hide the sunlight. In Cromer, Lillian lies still, dreams dreams in the gold sun drenched corn field, planning for a lifetime.
Singing in the chapel, of golden harps and viols, a much reduced male voice choir sustain the myth that God removes the dark clouds. Red poppies still sway, mocking what is left of Sam's cold body; Lillian dreams on, - unaware. GRJ

Call for tougher penalties for serious fly-tipping offences North Norfolk District Council backs stronger enforcement action North Norfolk District Council has given its backing for tougher fly-tipping penalties in light of statistics that suggest the problem is worsening across England. Local authorities recorded a 7% increase in fly-tipping incidents in 2016-17, taking the total number of incidents in England above the one million mark. The overall problem is likely to be even bigger, though, as this tally does not include incidents of fly-tipping on private land.
North Norfolk District Council dealt with about 500 fly-tipping incidents last year, costing taxpayers nearly £40,000 in clean-up costs.

Most of the 495 incidents in North Norfolk involved roadside fly-tipping (288), but there was also fly-tipping on footpaths, agricultural land, railways and alleyways, and beside rivers.
The rubbish that was dumped included white goods, tyres, asbestos, and both household and commercial waste. Last year, new legislation meant anyone caught illegally dumping waste could face an on-the-spot penalty of £200. NNDC has stepped up its enforcement action over the past year, including issuing these fixed-penalty notices. The council also recently brought a successful prosecution against a fly-tipper with the help of a private landowner. But the Local Government Association has called for bigger fines for more serious offences. Cllr Annie Claussen-Reynolds, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member for Waste and Environmental Services, said “Fly-tipping blights our beautiful district, which is why we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to people dumping their rubbish illegally. But this growth in reported incidents of fly-tipping shows that there is still a lot of work to be done, and anything that makes more people think twice before just leaving their rubbish behind for others to clear up would be welcome.”
She added “It is everyone’s responsibility to dispose of their waste properly. If you ask others to do it for you, check that they have a waste-carrier’s licence – and if you are not sure, don’t give them your rubbish. “If rubbish that you give to someone else to dispose of is later fly-tipped, action could be taken against you, and you could find yourself being prosecuted.” The cost to council-tax payers in North Norfolk for cleaning up fly-tipped rubbish was £38,846 in 2016-17.

Cats come into care for many reasons but Elsa, a recent addition, together with her four young kittens, was an unusual case and continues to provide surprises.
When Stephanie was contacted by someone trying to find where she lived because she had a stray cat in her care with its kittens, she was advised she needed to take the cat to a vet, to check to see if she had been chipped or not, which would confirm whether or not she was indeed a stray. Later that day Westover Vets contacted us because the cat was not chipped and the young woman, who had brought her and her kittens in, said she could not look after them as she was homeless! Although all our pens were full, Irene, one of our fosterers, kindly agreed to take them into her home in an indoor pen until one of our other pens became available. Elsa and her kittens made good progress; damage to her right eye was checked when she went for a health check, and, as it was an old injury which was not causing any problems, no further action was taken.
Elsa was neutered, chipped and had her first vaccination, as did her four kittens, two of which have now been re-homed. However, when recently touching Elsa’s leg, Irene noticed a small lump and mentioned this to her vet when she went for her second vaccination. Her vet thought it might be an airgun pellet and suggested taking an x-ray to confirm this. Because of the old eye injury, Irene asked David, our vet at the Bridge, whether this too could also have been caused by a pellet. The decision was therefore made to take x-rays to confirm whether or not this was the case. We were horrified to discover that she had been shot three times, once in the leg, once on the shoulder and once behind her eye. The pellet in her leg was rubbing on the bone and has been removed; the one on the shoulder was not visible and is not causing her any problems. To
remove the one behind her eye would cause damage to her eyesight and, although there is a slight possibility it could cause problems in the future, these would not be life threatening. As it is not causing any problems at present it was decided to leave the pellet in situ. Elsa is a very affectionate little cat, she does love attention and we are sure there is someone out there who would offer her the loving home she deserves.
Elsa, a lovely little Although we would dearly love to find who was cat who really deserves responsible, it is hardly likely that we would be able a loving new home to identify the person who perpetuated this callous act in view of Elsa’s previous history and the manner in which she came into care. Under the Animal Welfare Act the courts can impose a fine of up to £20,000 or even send a person to prison for acts of animal cruelty.
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.

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.

Help a horse in need this Christmas with Redwings’ new look adoption scheme
Sponsoring a Redwings rescued horse or donkey not only makes a special and unique Christmas present, but now comes with extra fun features to help your loved one get closer to their four-legged friend.
The 100% publicly funded horse rescue charity has relaunched its new look Adoption Scheme, which supports hundreds of horses and donkeys in need every year.
Adoption Star Elvis - the rock The scheme, which has been running for over 30 years, 'n' roll pony allows supporters to sponsor one or more of Redwings’ ‘Adoption Star’ horses, ponies, donkeys and mules with all the money going towards the care of their rescued friend and other residents across the Sanctuary – of which there are over 1,500!
While previously sponsors have chosen between receiving letters from their Adoption Star in the post or accessing updates from their friend through an online blog, these options have now been combined into one new package for a cost of just £15 per year.
Those looking to sponsor a Redwings Adoption Star for Christmas will receive: • An adoption pack including a certificate, beautiful photograph and the Adoption Star’s story • Postal updates on their adventures and antics • An invitation to the Adoption Star’s birthday party • An online diary featuring photo galleries, videos and blogs about their life at Redwings • The chance to visit the Adoption Star for free at their home • A Friendship Card to treasure as a reminder of their adoption.
Lynn Cutress, Redwings’ Chief Executive, said: “Adopting a Redwings horse or donkey makes a beautiful gift for yourself or a loved one. It’s the next best thing to owning your own, and you can enjoy all the fun of getting to know your new four-legged friend without the hard work and expense of looking after them every day.
“Christmas is a time of happiness and love, but sadly many of our Adoption Stars were deprived of these simple things in their early lives. Giving just £15 per year in sponsorship will ensure your friend and all our rescued residents continue to enjoy a safe and happy home at Redwings.”
To sponsor a Redwings Adoption Star, visit www.redwings.org.uk/adoption or call 01508 481000. Cromer Times 530 November 18th 2017

Bacton to Walcott Sandscaping Scheme Funding Boost
A multi-million pound sandscaping project to help protect the coastline from Bacton to Walcott has benefited from a further £500,000 funding from the Norfolk Business Rates Pool.
The announcement of the £500,000 from the 2017/18 Business Rates Pool is on top of £500,000 from NNDC; £500,000 from the local level by the Regional Flood and Coast Defence Committee (Eastern); and £120,000 from the National Natural Flood Management Fund. Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said “The aim of the Business Rates Pool is to fund Norfolk projects with strategic impact. There was a lot of competition and for North Norfolk to secure £500,000 is fantastic news. There were 34 applications received from right across Norfolk, at a total value of £6.2m, significantly more than the funding available. The fund is split between three key categories – early development, technical detail and strategic impact with some applications spanning more than one category, that’s why it is such a good news story that NNDC has been successful in securing £500,000 for this project.”

A further bid for £1 million pounds will be made to the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership in the coming weeks, following Holt Road, Upper Sheringham NR26 the 8TU approval of the LEP’s growth strategy.

The innovative project would use natural processes to reduce coastal flood and erosion risk. It would involve ‘sandscaping’ the shoreline, in front of the terminal and down the coast; effectively using high volumes of sand to protect the coast. The volume of sand is approximately equal to 200 Carrow Road football pitches covered 1 metre deep in sand, or 1.5 million cubic metres. This would be the first time a project of this scale has been delivered in the UK.
It is estimated that the total cost of the scheme will be £17 million to £19 million pounds, which includes £4.8m - £7m to fund the village element of the scheme. For more information please see www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/sandscaping
