The Cromer Times November 2021

Cromer Royal British Legion

Once again, we are approaching that time of year when we honour and remember the brave men and women who have served our country affording us protection from unwanted and oppressive regimes over the last 107 years. From the day the First World War commenced in 1914 up to the present day, our Armed Forces are on call and working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 52 weeks of the year.

David Pritchard, Poppy Appeal Organiser, Cromer & District said: “The poppy appeal will once again have a significant presence in Cromer. Last year, instead of the 60 collecting boxes in Cromer, COVID-19 related contingencies only allowed for the placing of 20 boxes which had a significant impact on the total raised. However, the collection in Morrisons, thanks to the Deputy Appeal Organiser – Julian Humphreys and the Morrisons Community Champion – Simon Clipsom along with the volunteers, and the Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers, we still managed to equal the amount raised in store the previous year of 2019.

Cromer Royal British Legion Continued from front cover...

This was bolstered by an extremely kind and fabulous donation of £513 from hundreds of knitted poppies made by Sophie Denton. Last year in Cromer, £7510.87 was collected and on behalf of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, I thank everyone for every single donation given. Here in Cromer, we are extremely fortunate to have the Royal British Legion Home, Halsey House and this is a perfect example of where your donation of time or money could end up each year. With annual expenditure supporting the beneficiaries running into millions of pounds each year, every donation counts and in the centenary year of the Royal British Legion, this is as important now as it was 100 years ago to the veterans of WW1.

“With many wreaths already requested for the Remembrance Sunday on 14 November in Cromer, I am still able to order wreaths in the next week, so if your organisation wishes to order one, please let me know as soon as possible. Finally, if you can give us some time to collect for the poppy appeal this year, please let me know as soon as possible. In particular, we need street collectors in Cromer for Monday to Friday during the appeal weeks which run from 30-October to 13-November-21.

Contact David Pritchard, Poppy Appeal Organiser, Cromer & District and can be contacted on email at cromerpao@gmail.com or on Cromer (01263) 511270”.

“At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them”.

Popular ‘Launch a Memory’ lifeboat to carry a further 5,000 names

A new all-weather RNLI lifeboat to be based at Wells-nextthe-Sea in Norfolk, will carry the names of a further 5,000 people, following record take-up of the original 10,000 names.

The Shannon class lifeboat Duke of Edinburgh, currently being built at the RNLI’s All-Weather Lifeboat Centre, is the third to be part of the charity’s ‘Launch a Memory’ fundraising campaign and the first to be based in England.

Back in June, members of the public were offered the opportunity to commemorate a loved one by making a donation online and submitting the name of someone they wanted to remember. Each name will` be featured within the lifeboat’s letters and numbers, or ‘decal’, ‘RNLI 13-46’, displayed on the vessel’s hull.

In just four months, more than 10,000 people have pledged their loved ones’ names, prompting the RNLI to open up space to take the total to 15,000. A second decal will be placed on the lifeboat’s ‘wheelhouse’ – the cabin which sits at the top of the vessel.

The £2.5m Shannon class is the fastest all-weather lifeboat in the RNLI fleet. It was funded in part through an appeal in the local Wells community, and by the Civil Service charity The Lifeboat Fund. The new boat will be housed in a brand-new boathouse, currently under construction next to Beach Road and due for completion in time for the Shannon’s scheduled arrival in late 2022.

A step in the right direction

Peter Rainsford, Chair of Wells Lifeboat, said: ‘We were so proud to be able to bring ‘Launch A Memory’ to North Norfolk, and we knew it would be popular, but we’ve been blown away by the speed with which these 10,000 names have been pledged. We’re incredibly thankful to all those who have made a donation.

‘RNLI lifeboat crews are busier than ever. The ‘Launch a Memory’ campaign, while a fundraiser for the charity, is also a way for us to say thank you to those people who support the lifeboat service, and our volunteer lifeboat crews. It’s humbling to think that when our new Shannon lifeboat arrives, we’ll carry with us the names of 15,000 loved ones every time we launch.’

There are three ways people can get the name of a loved one on the Launch a Memory lifeboat. Donations can be made online at rnli.org/WellsLaunch or by phone on 0300 300 99 90 (Monday to Friday 8am-6pm). There is a suggested donation of £50 with space to commemorate up to 15,000 names on the lifeboat.

A Note from the editor

It is said that over 50% of older people in the UK say that the television is their main source of company

November already... really?! The clocks have gone back and I suppose we are on the run-up to Christmas.

Here at the Age Concern North Norfolk day centre, we do not have time for the television as we are too busy with activities and enjoying our time together.

With talk of shortages of this and that, let alone rising winter fuel bills, you could be forgiven for thinking we are in for a bleak winter. But wait a minute, maybe it’s time to have a bit of a reset and think about those simple pleasures we enjoyed before everything got so complicated.

Over the past couple of months, we have done biscuit decorating, flower arranging, making lavender bags, seated exercises and music and singing. In addition there are quizzes, word searches, games and puzzles with the aim of stimulating all the senses throughout the day.

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy has proved very beneficial for people with cognitive deficits as it can engage people in very simple and straightforward ways and is effective when a variety of sensory stimuli are combined within the activity.

Making the Christmas cake and puddings in November to be fed and matured for the big day. Making decorations with the children (and memories at the same time). Crisp walks wrapped up in scarves and gloves and then home to a mug of hot chocolate. Who needs the latest toy or gadget? If Covid has taught us anything, it is to look at what really matters to us and our loved ones and that getting back to basics is not such a bad thing.

So, get planning those homemade treats for Christmas, make some presents for loved ones instead of chasing the latest must-have, make some memories – they last longer than anything you can buy.

Whatever you are planning, enjoy your November magazine.

Keep safe and well.

Exercise to music with scarves was a physical activity structured by a trained leader to enable all participants to move different parts of their body to music as they were able to safely. The light-weight scarves contributed positively as movement was required to wave them around so that people moved their limbs more than normal. Watching others also impacted on their enjoyment and motivation and there was scope to discuss the different colours. People living with dementia are more likely to achieve their potential by doing rather than by sitting passively and watching.

There are still places available, particularly on Wednesdays and Thursdays – phone 01263 821188 to book your Half Price Taster Day.

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

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

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

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

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 Norrffolk or Norrw wich and I provide 24 years of expertise and exceptional service.

I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offe fers a FREE FIRST 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. I can also offer appointments via Zoom, telephone or Skype and through the website www.silverandward.co.uk..

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

“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry 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 at no extra cost.

Cromer and Sheringham Probus Club

On Tuesday 5 October, we met for lunch at the Links Hotel in West Runton. The lunch was excellent, and it was refreshing to meet once again; things seem to be getting back to normal!

After the meal our Lunch Secretary gave us an entertaining talk on a business visit he had made to America some years ago and mentioned some of the memorable incidents which occurred during his stay there.

On Tuesday 2 November we will have a talk from Chris Armstrong on “Scholars, Saints and Sinners”. If you would like to know more about the club, please visit our website www.candsprobus.club or contact our Lunch Secretary Dave Vickery on 01263 824306.

The Strand Club

Sheringham and Cromer Lions Club

Sheringham and Cromer Lions Club are back with face-to-face monthly meetings and fund raising as before.

We are few in number but big hearted and hope more like-minded people will wish to join us in our efforts to help local needy people and organisations.

Our glasses collections in Holt, Sheringham, Cromer and North Walsham are producing large numbers to help poor people in the Third World countries with their sight problems.

Thank you so much to all who donated.

We managed the car park at Mannington Hall on Sunday 4th September and raised over £200 in a Tombola for worthy local causes.

This is an annual event at Mannington Hall and is organised by one charity, who provide food, drink, fun and entertainment.

24 Members gathered for our ‘cream tea’ provided once again by The Old Rock Shop Bistro’. Our chairman, Jackie had done her research and told us the gruesome tale of Burke and Hare, the body snatchers, who committed their heinous crimes in the early 1800s in Edinburgh.

After Burke was hanged in 1829 his body was publicly dissected by Prof. Alexander Monro. A pocket book made from his skin can be found displayed at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. These diabolical incidences did not, however affect our members appetites as they devoured their scones, jam and cream in no time.

Hospice Ethiopia were the organising charity this year and they raised over £9,000 in just six hours. Well done to them, maybe next year you would like to attend. It is a great Fun Day.

We meet at Beacon Farm, Trimingham and if anyone would like to join us on the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm for a cuppa and a chat about what we do you would be most welcome.

Our next meeting will be on November 10th when a member of Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS) will be coming to tell us about some of the work they do in our area. There will be a small charge on the door of £3 for visitors and £2 for members

Please telephone 01263 833866 to talk to me or 01263 821276 to reach our Secretary Brian Harris.

Looking forward to seeing you out and about.

Lion Liz Bowler Welfare Officer Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club

We always have a warm welcome for visitors and new members at the Pavilion in Overstrand on second Wednesday of each month at 2pm. Further details from Jackie (Chairman) 01263 720866 or Josie (Treasurer) 01263 579748

CHESS PROBLEMS by Dr Cedric Lytton 295. Paul Keres, Sports Referee, 1933

295. Mate in two moves

296. Paul Keres, Vaba Maa, 1932

In Town, on the Coast and in the Country, wherever your Norfolk home, we are your local Trusted Property Experts.

295. Mate in two moves

Solution to No. 295: 1. Bc7, threat 2. Bf7. 1… Bg5 2. Nd4; 1… Bf4 2. Bh7; 1… Be3 (or 1… Rf8) 2. Nc1; 1… Bd2 2. Ne5; 1… Bc1 2. Nc3.

The 3 black major pieces each control 2 white batteries; the black B opens one control line to stop the threat, but wherever it goes, it closes another control line enabling White to shut off the second control of that battery. Theme shown with beautiful clarity, though the white Q functions only as a B.

We are able to look after your every need, from full market exposure to discreet one-off buyer introductions.

No. 296, by the same illustrious OTB grandmaster, has an interesting theme: a Grimshaw (mutual interference) on e5 as an anticipatory unpin of the black Q. Pretty but fairly easy Key, so difficulty 2.

COMRADES

In this silent place Where once brave poppies grew; And swarms of deadly bullets flew…

Here lay I… And here lay you.

Along with Tom, and Jack, Young Billy too.

Comrades still!

United…Where once brave poppies grew; And swarms of deadly bullets flew.

By Terry Linford, written after visiting War Graves at Ieper (Ypres) and the Somme. Sept. 2016.

Weather Forecast

The past three months came in nicely as a typical British summer although August on its own was a disappointment to say the least. July rescued itself with a few warm days and September was an above average month although the last week went downhill quickly as colder Atlantic air steamed in sourced from a pool of unseasonal cold air that has been around the Greenland area since the beginning of August.

Top Class Service!

“Absolutely faultless from start to finish” - Mrs JN

Please give us a call to discuss how we can get you moving

The next three months will kick off unsettled or stormy but high pressure should settle things down in the first ten days of October and give us at least seven fine days.

Thereafter and through November and December the weather should be what you would expect from the last two months of the year in a maritime climate with no prolonged deviations. However, the cold air massing in northern latitudes has the potential to undo many predictions including this one.

Five Hospital Governors Sought to Represent Patients Across Norfolk

People living in Norfolk will have the opportunity to put their name forward as a governor at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as five public governors reach the end of their three-year term. The vacancies are in Broadland, North Norfolk, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, plus two posts in Breckland.

The responsibilities of governors include supporting the recruitment of new members, attending Council of Governor meetings and engaging with the Board of Directors on a range of issues. Governors serve a term of three years after which they can be re-elected.

To be eligible to become a governor, people must be aged over 16 years, interested in the success of the Trust and join NNUH’s free membership scheme at https://secure.membra.co.uk/nnuhapplicationform/

David White, Chairman of NNUH, said: “We want governors drawn from a wide range of backgrounds who share our passion for providing the best possible services for local people.

Potential candidates have until 3 November to return their completed election forms. The results of the election, where members vote for their choice of governor, will be announced on 14 December.

“Our governors come together to form our Council of Governors which has an important role in shaping the future of the organisation.

“Governors need enthusiasm for the role and a desire to get involved with our hospitals. We look at what’s working well and what could be improved with governors providing a useful link with the local community. ”

are both making good progress.

Mabel continues to take her medication and Edna is now looking much healthier. Her coat is no longer matted, and we now believe she could be younger than first thought.

She is putting on weight and loves a fuss but will need her nails clipped when she goes to the vets to be vaccinated.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Stephanie gets many enquiries from people with cats needing to come into care and, although we would love to be able to help straight away there is often a delay before we can take them in as we have to wait for a cat pen to become free. Fortunately, most do not have to wait too long, and she always gives priority to those that have the most need. By adhering to Cats Protection guidelines and not mixing cats from different households, we have never experienced any cross infections in the 21+ years the branch has been in existence.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher).

This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to Domino, Liberty and Dinky help with any other enquiries. industrial site kittens The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

Fortunately, when we received a call recently from the gentleman who cares for the cats on the industrial estate, advising he had found 4 kittens, a pen had just become vacant with Caroline, and we were able to take them. As they were only about 5 weeks old it was important to get them in straight away and, if necessary, we would have appealed to Lesley to allow us to use another of her pens. All four kittens are now in their new homes and enjoying life with their new families.

Although we show a few of our cats on our website most are not shown there for many reasons. We do get some enquiries from people looking for a cat or kitten via our website, although most people contact Stephanie direct on the cat phone. She will ask them lots of questions to enable her to advise which cats or kittens in care would be suitable for their lifestyle and give them contact details for the fosterer caring for them. Before being available for adoption they will have been given a clean bill of health by our vets, been neutered (if appropriate), vaccinated (including for FELV) and microchipped. When homing kittens too young to be neutered we will pay for this to be done by one of the veterinary surgeries we use. We also pay for the second vaccination when cats and kittens leave before this is due.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Please be aware that if you are interested in giving one of our cats a home you need to contact by phone rather than by the contact form on our website,

Stephanie does not use a computer for her cat work so there is a delay in responding to enquiries this way and as she deals with enquiries on a first come first serve policy she may have already spoken to someone who is interested in giving the cat a home.

EAAA’s 24/7 service is saving lives all over the region

the crews have been able to cover a much wider area in East Anglia at night, helping more patients than was previously possible. By air, the crews have been tasked to Peterborough, across North Norfolk, into the depths of South Suffolk and as far southwest as Harpenden in Hertfordshire, to a mixture of emergencies including accidental injuries, cardiac arrests, road traffic collisions, medical emergencies, self-harm incidents and assaults.

Since the launch of EAAA’s 24/7 service by air and road on 30 June and up until 7am on Monday 18 October, the charity’s crews have been tasked 307 times between 7pm and 7am, averaging nearly three missions a night. During this time, 87 of the taskings were by helicopter and 220 by rapid response vehicle.

As the nights draw in and the seasons change, the EAAA teams will be operating even more during the hours of darkness, to provide enhanced critical care, by air or by road, to people living across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.

Matthew Jones, CEO of EAAA, said: “We’re just over three months into providing a fully 24/7 service for the region and we’re really pleased to see that our teams are already making a big difference to people all over East Anglia and beyond. We can see that we are being tasked over a much wider area at night than ever before, showing that we’re taking our enhanced critical care skills to those patients most in need of our help.

EAAA has been providing 24/7 care from both its bases in Norwich and Cambridge by rapid response vehicle for the last 18 months but began flying around-the-clock for the first time on 30 June this year, extending the night-time helicopter emergency medical service coverage in the region from its previous finishing time at 1:30am to complete coverage through to 7am.

This change saw EAAA become the first air ambulance in the East of England to become 24/7 by both air and by road.

“Moving towards providing a 24/7 service has taken us the best part of four years and included raising an extra million pounds a year to fund this change, extending to 24/7 operations by rapid response vehicle first and expanding and renovating the charity’s HQ in Norwich, to adequately house a 24/7 service by air and by road. We are incredibly pleased to

As a result of the increased operational hours,

now be able to offer the same level of service, no matter what the time of day or night, to our patients and their families and this is only possible thanks to our incredible supporters.”

To facilitate the additional night flying at Norwich Airport also required upgrading the control system for the runway lights, costing around £60,000 which was kindly funded by the HELP Appeal. This drastically helps to reduce light pollution and saves energy by allowing the EAAA pilots to turn the lights on remotely via the aircraft VHF radio as they depart or approach the airport.

EAAA needs to raise £15 million a year to deliver and develop its life-saving service and is grateful to all of its supporters for the essential donations which keep the charity flying and have made a 24/7 service by air a reality for the people of East Anglia.

Managing financial affairs under a lasting power of attorney

by Sudan Dayment, Associate Solicitor, Hayes + Storr

Making a lasting power of attorney (also known as an LPA) for your finances is an important part of lifetime planning. An LPA should be set up well in advance of when it might be needed, although it can be difficult to predict when that might be. If in the future you have an accident or illness, like dementia, an LPA enables other people (your attorneys) to help make decisions on your behalf.

In addition to managing bank accounts and selling property, an LPA clarifies your wishes on a wide range of financial decisions, including if you have a business or complex investments.

Funds You may have investments in certain funds which require your express consent or discretionary management funds to be set up before your attorneys can be authorised to deal with them.

Overseas assets If you hold overseas assets, an LPA made in England and Wales may not be recognised by the jurisdiction in which those assets are held.

You will need legal advice for each jurisdiction to ensure your attorneys can act on your behalf in the different territories.

Gifts Attorneys can make small gifts in limited circumstances on your behalf, but you may authorise them to make larger or more regular gifts. For example, you may wish to make such gifts for tax planning purposes, or because you would like to provide financial assistance for family members who need extra support.

Whatever the reason, you will need to include a specific authority to allow such gifts to be made.

Dependants You may be concerned about a family member or another dependant who relies upon you financially, especially if they are unable to manage their own finances.

Business assets If you have any interest in a business, you should ensure that the appointed attorneys have the necessary insight and business acumen to continue to run things smoothly. If you wish to appoint separate attorneys for your business decisions, you will need to make two separate financial lasting powers of attorney, one for your personal financial decisions and one for your business decisions.

Avoiding common mistakes Many people choose to appoint the friends or family closest to them without considering

whether they are suitable for the role. If they are not good with their own money, think carefully about trusting them with yours. There may also be times where your interests could conflict with theirs.

Careful considerations • You can decide when your LPA comes into force.

• Your attorneys must always act in your best interests.

• You may need to include specific instructions to extend your attorneys’ powers.

• You should appoint more than one attorney or replacement attorneys who would step in if your first choice of attorney can no longer act for you.

Anaesthetising Pets

for underlying health issues that might affect the anaesthetic choice. Much like in human hospitals we use this information to produce an ASA Score (an objective measure of the patient’s health and fitness for surgery). This helps us to predict and avoid, or specifically manage, any potential complications during or after the anaesthetic.

At Toll Barn Vets we are honoured to be trusted with loved family pets when they need surgical procedures both in routine and life-threatening situations. When a pet needs an anaesthetic this is understandably a very worrying time for both pet and owner, especially when it is an emergency or a life threatening situation, and we know that understanding what is happening to your pet is really important.

Every veterinary practice is different and has different protocols and procedures for anaesthetics but at Toll Barn Vets we work to a well-established procedure. So what exactly do we consider when your pet needs an anaesthetic?

Firstly we consider the species as many different injectable and gaseous anaesthetic drugs exist. Importantly, different species (and sometimes even different breeds within the same species) respond differently to the each drug and therefore species and breed play an important role in our choice of the right drugs to use to keep your pets as safe as possible. Seeing so many different species and breeds means we have a wide choice available to us, including Sevoflurane, a special gas anaesthetic often used in human paediatric surgery so we are able to choose the very best option for your pet.

Secondly, we perform a detailed pre-anaesthetic check. During this we check heart rate, temperature and breathing rate. We also check

blythwright@btconnect.com

Next, our team consider the patients stress levels. Our purpose built separate dog, cat and exotic pet hospital wards along with our calming diffusers and music systems, aim to keep pets calm but by assessing stress or anxiety levels in advance we can make sure pets receive appropriate pre-medication to keep them nice and calm, and avoid any changes that might impact the anaesthetic. When booking admission appointments, we also try to book a later appointment for particularly nervous or anxious pets as this reduces their waiting time.

What about the anaesthetic itself?

We hope there is never an anaesthetic complication but we also know it is incredibly important to be prepared just in case. Our Team run regular in house “Anaesthetic Emergency Simulations” to make sure that we are all ready to leap into action should the need arise. One of the key things in an emergency is being able to administer medication into a vein quickly which is why all our patients undergoing anaesthesia have intravenous catheters fitted. This also helps us to administer intravenous fluids to help keep their blood pressure stable. Our team use a full range of specialised multiparameter machines

Blyth & Wright

which accurately measure blood pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide saturations, temperature, ECG, heart rate, breathing rate and breathing efficiency on patients ranging from the tiniest lizard or bird up to the largest dogs.

Of course, all this monitoring is only as good as the person using the equipment! We are very proud to only use qualified veterinary nurses rather than lay staff for all our anaesthetics, and this helps us detect and act on any changes that may occur, helping us to keep your pet as safe as possible.

Following the anaesthetic, patients are recovered in our heated hospital wards where a qualified hospital nurse makes sure they are comfortable by performing regular “pain scores”, as well as making sure they have as many home comforts as possible to make their stay comfortable.

Obviously this is a very brief summary of what is involved with anaesthetising your pet, so please give us a call on 01692 407126 if you would like to discuss your individual pets procedure.

Cromer Times November 2021

Homity Pie As winter comes around, it is time to look out those warming recipes which just hit the spot on a cold day.

This one is just the ticket and won’t break the bank. You can jazz it up with any left over veg, mix it up with different cheeses (substituting some of the cheddar with blue cheese makes a change) and any leftovers are good cold the next day.

If you want to save a bit of time you can use readymade pastry.

Good served with plenty of fresh veg or salad.

INGREDIENTS For the Pastry 125 g (4oz) plain flour 125 g (4oz) wholemeal plain flour + extra for rolling out

150 g (5oz) butter chilled, + extra for greasing 1 egg lightly beaten For the Filling 500g potatoes 125g spring onions 1 leek 2 tablespoon vegetable / sunflower oil 25g butter 3 tablespoon double cream 150g mature cheddar cheese 15g parsley chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD To make the pastry, place the flours, and chilled butter into a good-sized bowl. Rub the butter into the flours until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre of the breadcrumbs and add the beaten egg. Mix to a dough, adding a little cold water or milk to fully bring the mixture together if required. Wrap the pastry and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Wash the potatoes and cut into chunks about 2cm (1in) cubed. Steam until tender about 15 – 20 minutes.

Whilst the potatoes are cooking prepare the other ingredients. Cut the spring onions into 1 cm (½in) chunks. Wash the leek thoroughly, cut into 2cm (1in) rounds. Chop the parsley.

Grate the cheese.

Once the potatoes are cooked through, heat the oil in a large frying pan and set over a medium heat. Add the leek and cook gently until softened.

Add the spring onions and cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the butter and allow it to melt into the vegetables.

Then stir in the cooked potatoes. Add the double cream and 3/4 of the cheese, stir again. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the double cream to start to thicken. Add the parsley.

Season to taste. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 220℃ (200℃ fan)/425°F/ gas mark 7. Roll the pastry into a circle about 5mm (¼in) thick and large enough to line an 8-9-inch, deep pie dish.

Grease the pie dish with a little butter. Use the rolling pin to gently lift the pastry and lay it gently over the pie dish. Press the pastry into the pie dish, avoid stretching it. Trim away the excess from the rim.

To book call 01263 512412

Once the filling is completely cool spoon it into the lined pie dish.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the filling

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and the cheese is starting to brown.

Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge

Exhibition at Thorpe Market Church

The last eighteen months have not been easy for anyone but one of the positive outcomes has been the increase in the number of people making things. Some have redesigned and replanted gardens, some have taken to writing stories, and some have rediscovered the joy of traditional crafts. Amongst the makers has been Rachel who has found time in a very successful final year at Lincoln University (working from home) to develop her crocheting skills and her design work to produce a wide range of items from small earrings to blankets, waistcoats and cardigans using cotton, wool or acrylic. Many are items for sale, but she will undertake commissions too. She trades as Saffron and Bee.

With Christmas approaching and all of us tightening our belts, one idea for presents with a personal touch is to make something.

This scores on two counts, it is cheaper than paying for commercial products and all the fancy packaging and people appreciate the effort of something made especially for them, particularly if children have been involved too.

This recipe is easy but will require a sugar thermometer and caution, as boiling sugar is very hot and sticky. Let children observe the cooking but take charge of packaging and decorating.

Ingredients 800g caster sugar 75g unsalted butter, cubed 5ml vanilla extract

250ml full fat milk 350g dark chocolate

Method Grease a 20x30 tin and line with baking parchment and prepare a washing up bowl of ice-cold water.

Put the sugar, milk and butter in a heavy saucepan and melt together over a moderate heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.

Bring the mixture to the boil and without stirring bring to a slow, rolling boil for 10 minutes until (using a sugar thermometer) it reaches 114C (soft ball stage).

On 4th and 5th December, 10am to 5pm she will be joining a family friend to mount a joint exhibition at Thorpe Market Parish Church.

Clive has been making things out of wood all his life (he’s nearly seventy!) and specialises in turned ware using local hardwoods and carving using storm-felled limewood. His passion is carving feathers which are often made into functioning quill pens by the addition of an antique steel nib. He is very proud of his green policy which extends to natural wax or oil finishes, recycled and flawed timber and recycled, plastic-free packaging. Clive trades as Verdant Woodcraft.

Stir in the chocolate and immediately place the bottom of the saucepan in the cold water, without getting water in the pan. Stir in the vanilla extract, beat until smooth with a wooden spoon for 6-8 minutes, then pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Leave until cool and completely set then lift out of the tin on the paper onto a chopping board. Cut into 2cm squares and serve. If giving as a gift, put into gift bags or screw top jar and tie tightly with decorative ribbon.

Love for Leo

Exactly seven years ago, ‘Love for Leo’ was founded by partners Moss Taylor and Robina Churchyard. Our aim is to raise funds for any children living in Norfolk & Suffolk with cerebral palsy. This was as a direct result of seeing appeals for help in the local papers, and the fact that one of Moss’s grandsons, Leo, was severely affected.

Cerebral palsy is often due to problems at birth and results in varying degrees of lifelong physical disability. Unfortunately, not all the expensive equipment needed to improve the quality of life of these children is available through the National Health Service, nor are some of the surgical treatments and other therapies, and this is where Love for Leo is able to make a contribution towards these costs.

While Robina and Moss have personally raised over £10,000, our fund has passed the £36,000

mark since 2014, which has only been possible by very many generous donations from a large number of friends, as well as the Lights Up show at the Little Theatre, Sheringham Masonic Lodge, the Crown quizzes and Tesco’s Bags of Help blue token scheme.

We were also the beneficiary of the Captains’ chosen charity at Sheringham Golf Club in 2018/19 and received the magnificent sum of over £6,000. One of the most successful and enjoyable fund-raising events was the Who Dun It at The Leo Muckleburgh Collection, written and directed by David and Audrey Williams. Over the years our tombola at the 40s Weekend in Sheringham has raised almost £2,000 but as a result of Covid-19, it has not taken place for two years, but requests for financial help for children with cerebral palsy still keep coming in.

During the last seven years, Love for Leo has given financial support to 43 children with cerebral palsy and to NANSA (Norfolk & Norwich Scope Association) for their work

Libby with disabled children, totalling over £33,000.

This money has been used towards the purchase of wheelchairs/buggies, PPods, Windmill car seats and specialized walkers, as well as other items to improve the lives of these unfortunate, but almost invariably, happy children. Most recently, we are pleased to announce that Lord Vincent Constantine has graciously agreed to become our Patron.

In these difficult times, we particularly appreciate any donations, every penny we collect going directly to the children, as there are no administrative costs at all. We also welcome requests for financial assistance for any Norfolk or Suffolk children with cerebral palsy, by contacting Moss Taylor on 01263 823637 or at moss.taylor@btinternet.com or Robina Churchyard on 01263 823588 or at reacgenet@btinternet.com

Additional Spaces for Go Digital Funded by C-Care and North Norfolk District Council

Launched on 22 September 2021, the project supports micro, small and medium-sized businesses to develop digital technology tools through funding and one to one support and continues a successful pilot conducted in early 2021.

Go Digital is delivered by Norfolk County Council, in partnership with local district authorities, to help businesses based in the county identify digital opportunities. It will provide expert one-to-one consultancy and the ability to apply for grants of up to £500.

Digital opportunities could include how to sell products and services online, reach new customers using social media, build customer databases, develop new or existing websites and attract new visitors, or how to work out the best homeworking options for teams.

Successful Go Digital applicants will be assigned an experienced

WINDOW & DOOR REPAIRS

business advisor who will conduct a ‘digital audit’ and provide a comprehensive report to identify digital opportunities. The advisor will help the business put together an action plan and then businesses will have the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to £500 to help them deliver projects using this plan.

Businesses can find out more and apply on the Norfolk County Council website at www.norfolk.gov.uk/GoDigital.

The funding for 600 additional spaces on Go Digital has been enabled by the Interreg EU funded C-Care Project. C-Care project is a cross border France - England project, aiming to support people and businesses to recover from the impact of the Covid pandemic.

If you have any enquiries about the scheme, please contact the NNDC Economic Growth Team.

Send a Smile with Santa appeal launched for 2021 For children and young people: • Lego for girl/boys • Items suitable for babies – 18 months old • Items for 18 months – 5 years • Gifts for teenagers including fidget toys or other suitable items • Sensory toys for children with complex needs

The annual appeal to give every patient at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital a gift on Christmas Day has been launched.

Each year, the N&N Hospitals Charity’s Send a Smile with Santa appeal collects more than 1,000 presents kindly donated by the members of the public and businesses across Norfolk.

These are then distributed to patients, both young and old, who will spend Christmas in hospital and are unable to celebrate at home with their families.

Louise Cook, Head of Fundraising, said: “Send a Smile is now in its sixth year and each year we are so grateful for the wonderful gifts given to us which we know make a huge difference to our patients. We know that people have been fantastic supporting the NHS through the pandemic and we are asking you again to help us make Christmas special for those patients in hospital on Christmas Day. If you are purchasing an item, please do look at the list as this has been put together or consider

This year, the charity is asking people who would like to give a present to a patient, to either purchase an item from the list below and drop it off at the hospital or make a small donation online at our website which could then be used by the charity to purchase a gift.

All gifts must be new and unwrapped and can be dropped off from now until 5 December at the hospital’s West Inpatients Reception Desk which is open 24/7 or at the Charity Hub East Atrium Monday to Friday 9-4pm.

If you would like to support Christmas at the hospital, please make a donation here www.nnhospitalscharity.org.uk

For more information on the work of the hospital charity: www.nnhospitalscharity.org.uk or email fundraising@nnuh.nhs.uk or call 01603 287107

Could You Make a Difference?

Change, Grow, Live is a charity which delivers the Norfolk Independent Visitors Service, and we are desperate to recruit committed and passionate volunteers across the whole of the county who would like to spend a day a month with a young person in care.

The children and young people we work with have suffered abuse, neglect and often both; they often mistrust adults and need positive role models to show them that relationships can be trusting, healthy and positive. The role of an Independent Visitor can be immensely rewarding and fun; taking a child or teenager out once a month to have fun together by engaging in community activities or visiting places of interest. Minimum age for volunteer applicants is 21 and minimum commitment is for 2 years, once a month. Full training and support are provided, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses.

For more information you can visit our website Vacancies at Change Grow Live (icims.com) or email norfolkiv@cgl.org.uk

making a donation which we will use to purchase a present. For example, £5 could help us to buy a toiletries’ gift set which will be wrapped up and given out on Christmas morning.”

Cromer Times November 2021

North Norfolk District Council Launches New Customer Service Strategy As a key part of North Norfolk District Council’s Corporate Plan, we are delighted to announce our new Customer Service Strategy has recently been approved by cabinet.

It outlines the Council’s commitment to further improving the focus on customer service across the whole organisation, with a wide range of current and future initiatives which aim to improve the standard and consistency expected of us.

Some of these improvements include changes to simplify the options menu on our telephone line, more specific web-forms ensuring that issues raised reach the correct department in a timely manner, and an improved call transfer process to get enquiries to the right member of staff quicker.

The Council will also see the introduction of a

video call appointment option, giving customers even more choice and accessibility when reaching us.

We will further offer a wider range of services and information that are available online and accessible to all at any time, without compromising the existing mechanisms to access help and support for those who need it.

The strategy commits to supporting equality of access to services for all, striving to overcome any challenges a customer may experience when trying to access support.

As an organisation we are always seeking to make the customer experience better, and we pledge to be open to constructive feedback on how we can improve the services on offer.

Cllr Lucy Shires, Portfolio Holder for Organisational Resources, commented: “We are so pleased to be progressing this strategy. It’s really important to the Council that customers feel confident that when they get in touch with us, their enquiries will be dealt with quickly and professionally.

"The Customer Charter element ensures that a consistent approach will be taken across the whole organisation, regardless of the point of contact they choose. I’m excited by the improvements that are already underway and look forward to seeing great progress moving forward.”

North Norfolk’s Beautiful Woodlands Awarded Prestigious Green Flag Award for 17th Year Running

North Norfolk District Council is proud to once again receive the Green Flag Award for Holt Country Park, Pretty Corner Woods and Sadler’s Wood

The Countryside team have worked very hard over the last year to ensure the woodlands are well maintained, providing a natural space for everyone to enjoy.

This year marks the 17th year that Holt Country Park has been commended with the Green Flag Award.

After 18 months that have seen our parks and green spaces play a vital role for people through lockdowns as a place to relax, exercise and meet friends and family safely, the news that the sites have achieved the Green Flag Award is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that make the green space a great space that everyone can enjoy.

Eligibility for the Green Flag Award is defined by a set of requirements that parks and green spaces have to meet and improve upon each year. Primary criteria include appropriate, exceptional management of the parks and providing an accessible, easily navigable (with the inclusion of directional signage and information boards) and clean space for all of the community. As part of the Green Flag Awards criteria, the Council’s green spaces regularly hold community engagement events, where visitors can engage in activities such as tree planting or giveaways, and volunteer conservation days.

Britain Tidy. The Council has been well decorated for its maintenance towards both countryside and seaside areas, having been awarded 6 Blue Flags for beaches.

As part of NNDC’s tree planting scheme – to plant 110,000 trees in 4 years – community groups have helped the Park Rangers to plant thousands of saplings in our parks.

If you would like to join us in our Green Flag parks, we have a number of volunteering opportunities to help our Rangers with conservation and have fun creating new habitats for the local wildlife. There are volunteer days every week at Holt Country Park, every fortnight at Pretty Corner Woods and every month at Sadler’s Wood.

You can join our Muddy Boots volunteer sessions by emailing countryside@north-norfolk.gov.uk

Cllr. Virginia Gay, portfolio holder for Culture, Leisure and Wellbeing said: “North Norfolk District Council has a distinguished history of Green Flag awards. You might think that these come easily to us, but you'd be wrong.

Every year our dedicated countryside team and our marvelous volunteers and supporters have to demonstrate that our woodlands are even better managed and more welcoming than in the preceding year. So many, many congratulations to the people who earn these awards on behalf of the rest of us.”

Green Flag Award Scheme Manager Paul Todd said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making their woodland areas worthy of a Green Flag Award. To meet the requirements demanded by the scheme is testament to the hard work of the staff and volunteers who do so much to ensure that Holt Country Park Pretty Corner Woods and Sadler’s Wood have high standards of horticulture, safety and environmental management and is a place that supports people to live healthy lives.”

The Green Flag Award scheme is managed by environmental charity Keep

NCI Cromer Seeks Volunteers

National Coastwatch Institution (NCI Cromer) is currently seeking to recruit additional volunteers for its Cromer watch station overlooking both East Runton and Cromer beaches. We are a friendly team, from all walks of life, and we all feel good about keeping a watchful eye open for the safety of our local beaches, waters, people and wildlife!

Full training is given, and no previous maritime experience is necessary.

Our volunteers give 3 hours per week (or more if you so choose) and we only operate during daylight hours, so no night-time hours.

If you would like to learn more, please contact our station manager for an informal chat:

Richard Leeds 07767 492456 richard.leeds@nci.org.uk

About National Coastwatch Institution NCI watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility.

When people get into trouble, we are there to alert HM Coastguard and direct the appropriate rescue services to the casualty.

In 1994 when two fishermen lost their lives off the Cornish coast near a recently closed Coastguard lookout, local people decided to open and restore the visual watch. When the first station was opened at Bass Point on the Lizard, NCI was born. Today 57 stations keep a visual watch around the coastline of England

and Wales, with more in the pipeline.

High technology and sophisticated systems such as radar and telecommunications have vastly improved safety at sea, but there is no substitute for a watchful pair of eyes. Accidents do happen and a computer or technology cannot spot a distress flare, an overturned boat, a yacht with problems, a water sports enthusiast in difficulty, or children or adults in trouble, or possible pollution incidents. That is why our lookouts and watchkeepers are an important service provider to all those who use our coastal waters, footpaths and coastline.

Each station is manned by a team of fully trained and dedicated volunteers who keep a daylight watch up to 365 days a year. Stations are equipped with telescopes, radar, telephone and weather instrumentation as well as up to date charts. Close contact with the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) aims to promote stations to Declared Facility Status in order to become an integral part of the National Search and Rescue Structure.

Watchkeepers come from all walks of life and offer a wide range of skills and experience.

Full training ensures that volunteers reach the high standard expected by the NCI and HM Coastguard. Regular assessments take place at all stations and retraining programmes are held to maintain standards and keep watchkeepers up to date with the latest legislation or

Watchkeepers are the eyes and ears along the coast, keeping a visual watch, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They remain vigilant at all times.

Surveillance work is mainly routine but watchkeepers are trained to act in an emergency, report to the MCA and, if required, co-ordinate with the search and rescue services.

A log of all water-based activities is kept during each watch and, when requested, weather conditions can be passed to yachtsmen and fishermen before they put to sea. Also, with the new generation of web cams we can identify sea conditions for those who wish to check on the weather or sea state prior to doing any water sport activity, hopefully reducing the need for HM Coastguard response and RNLI callouts. During each watch other activities such as canoeing and diving etc are closely observed, as are bathers, walkers and climbers who use our shoreline.

Watchkeepers provide a vital link with all the emergency services and can provide an emergency contact point on land for both sea and shore users.

Why you should consider making a Lasting Power of Attorney this November

At Clapham & Collinge Solicitors, we’re running our ‘Charity Lasting Powers of Attorney Scheme’ throughout November, where we are offering a 25% discount on Lasting Powers of Attorney. In addition to this discount, we will also make a £50.00 donation per Lasting Power of Attorney appointment to support 5 Norfolk based charities. Our chosen charities for this year’s scheme are The Benjamin Foundation, Norfolk and Waveney Mind, Big C, Norfolk Community Foundation and Sheringham Little Theatre.

Although it is often difficult to think about, it is crucial that we plan for the future and ensure we can manage our financial affairs in the event of an incapacitating illness, accident or injury. Everyone understands the importance of a Will, but Lasting Powers of Attorney are a bit more obscure in the public sphere and often people are not aware why they need them.

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. The person who is given this

authority is known as an ‘attorney’. They can manage your finances or make decisions relating to your health and welfare. There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney:

Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney: This gives your attorney the power to make decisions about your money and property, including managing bank or building society accounts, paying bills, collecting a pension and if necessary, selling your home. Once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, it can be used immediately, or held in readiness until required.

Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney: This gives your attorney the power to make decisions about your daily routine, medical care, moving into a care home and lifesustaining medical treatment. It can only be used if you are unable to make your own decisions.

In relation to the cost of preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney, this will depend on whether 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.

In addition to this discount, we will also make a £50.00 donation per Lasting Power of Attorney appointment to support 5 Norfolk based charities.

What happens if you don't make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

• No one has legal authority to act on your behalf – your spouse and children have no automatic rights to make decisions on your behalf; • Someone will need to make an application to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order; • This can be costly, time consuming and you may not end up being assisted by the person you would have chosen yourself.

Consistent Keeble’s Speed Defeats the Champ

Cromer Squash Club’s 2020 championships fell victim to COVID but the players are now back on court and the 2021 club championships took place last week with the final being held on Saturday evening.

This was the 36th time the tournament had been held and the No.1 seed, Richard Keeble regained the title, which he last won ten years ago in 2011, and became only the fourth player in the history of the tournament to complete a hat-trick of titles when his speed around the court and greater consistency enabled him to wear down and eventually defeat the reigning champion, Alex Oliver 13-9 13-7 9-13 13-9 after four games of top quality squash.

Thirty-seven-year-old Keeble, whose main racket sport is tennis, is a natural athlete and despite not having received any formal squash coaching he is undoubtedly one of the most naturally gifted players in the club.

For the first time the tournament was played under the “Point a Rally” scoring system which is now used in all official England Squash

Swim Gala Provides First Opportunity for Competition

North Norfolk Vikings Swimming Club are recovering well post Covid 19 and membership has soared in its junior section.

Therefore, Beeston Hall School kindly opened up their facilities for the Vikings to either compete for the very first time or a chance of a little more race practise in a friendly match against the school team. No fewer than thirty-one swimmers took part as distances were contested over both 20m and 40m in front of a large gathering of appreciative parents and spectators.

There were some exciting races and close finishes none closer than the Boys Under 12 40m Freestyle when Jasper Keeler (Beeston) just out touched George Edridge (Vikings) by two tenths of a second whilst both teams scored points on either side of the lane lines. However, when the final tally was revealed Beeston Hall School ended up worthy winners.

Wear it Pink Day

It was a very Pink Day at Sheringham Golf Club on Tuesday 12th October as the Ladies regaled themselves in colour, in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness.

At the conclusion, Mrs Caswell from Beeston school said “For many this was their first chance to race against children outside of their school and they enjoyed the opportunity and rose to the challenge. Vikings put on an excellent display with some brilliant swims, and we had a number of nail-biting finishes.” and Sarah Buchan, Chair of the Vikings replied with "Our junior section has been developing well lately and it was pleasing to see them reaping their reward for all their hard work they have put in over the summer months.

Ladies Vice Captain Christine Tew and Past Captain Elaine Richards went all out with their pink hair.

We would like to thank Beeston for their hospitality and friendly rivalry.” - John Holden
