North Walsham leisure and entertainment operator Rossis raise over £3000 for charity in just one week

“It’s not how much we give but how much we put into giving”

This quote, accredited to Mother Teresa hits home with Bruce Rossi, owner of Rossis North Walsham, who says he views Rossis as a “community” – with a sense of belonging where everyone is welcome - and in just one busy week they have helped to raise more than £3,000 for charity in a series of fitness challenges encompassing rowing, cycling and squash.

In a joint event with Sainsbury’s, teams from Rossis and Sainsbury’s took to rowing machines in the foyer of the

North Walsham supermarket on 3 September and covered 77 miles, raising almost £400 for East Anglian Air Ambulance.

Rossis Fitness Manager, Liam Killington, was proud of their achievement and commented “Having seen first-hand how vital a resource EAAA is, we wanted to continue our fundraising efforts and the collaboration with Sainsbury’s worked perfectly. We managed to cover more than 77 miles over the day, that’s almost four times across the English Channel”.

Sarah Harmer, a popular member of the Rossis team, who lost her battle with cancer this year.

Tom set up a total of 48 sessions each lasting 30 minutes, followed by a handicap tournament and fun quiz, raising £1200 for The Big C, Norfolk’s Cancer Charity.

A day of events took place at Rossis on 10 September to remember popular Rossis Fitness Instructor, Dave Butler, who joined Rossis after taking early retirement from working in insurance. His Spinning Classes were legendary and he is sorely missed by staff and members alike. Dave’s Day saw members and visitors take part in activities reflecting some of Dave’s favourite things and joined a Coffee & Cake Morning, Spinning sessions and a Quiz & Curry night raising £1745 for The Brain Tumour Charity.

While Squash Coach, Tom Smith, took on a huge challenge with a 24 hour long Squash Coachathon at Rossis in memory of

FREE Spooky Fun at Bure Valley Railway!

Throughout the half term holiday, 22nd October to 30th October 2016, the Bure Valley Railway will be holding its popular children’s event, “The Spooky Express”. Trains will operate throughout each day from both Aylsham and Wroxham Stations (see timetable). A children’s competition to see how many spooky items can be spotted on the train journey, a colouring corner and a decorated Whilstlestop Café add to this themed event. Also, the Railway’s resident Bear will be dressed up for the occasion to welcome each train at Aylsham Station.

To make this a truly family friendly event, the Railway is giving free travel for every child when accompanied by a fare-paying adult (maximum of 2 children per adult, train only). No prior booking required. Susan Munday, Business Manager and organiser of this event, says, “Children of all ages can enjoy lots of spooky fun without it being too scary!”

First World War thank you letter for knitting mittens for the war effort from a soldier to a child donated to Museum

The Sheringham Museum has been donated a letter written in February 1918 by a soldier fighting on the front line in Italy to a 9 year old girl living in Beeston, near Sheringham, thanking her for knitting him a pair of mitten gloves.

Written by Private Ernest George Gale, the letter opens with the line “My Dear Little Friend” and goes on to say:

“Just a line to thank you for the new mittens you sent to me. I am very thankful to you as the nights are very cold here and they will keep my hands nice and warm. Would you care to know anything about Italy? It is far different from England. Practically the only thing that is grown here is grapes.”

Private Gale goes on to describe the agricultural practices of the local area, including using oxen rather than horses to plough, the lack of coal and the use of wood to stay warm. The letter concludes with, “I have not seen a shop for months and we seem to be away from civilisation altogether. I have a little girl of my own at home in Dorset and I know she will be pleased when I tell her what you have sent me. I will now close hoping that this letter will find you quite well as it does me at present. Yours gratefully,

E. G. Gale”.

The letter was sent to 9 year old Phyllis Dennis of Beeston. Taken by surprise in a war that was only meant to last a few months and be over by Christmas, the government encouraged the local population to “Knit for Tommy”, to plug the shortfall in uniform over the colder months.

Hats, socks, special rifle mittens (with a trigger finger!), balaclavas and cardigans were all knitted.

It wasn’t just clothing knitted either – the museum has on display two rare 100 year old hand knitted bandages on loan from Southampton University Archives, used during the battle of The Somme, where medical supplies couldn’t keep up with the horrific casualty numbers. They were knitted in cotton so that they could be boiled and reused on other injured soldiers.

Museum Manager Philip Miles said “This letter is important to the exhibition as it shows that the wartime knitting drive also came to North Norfolk. It is lovely to think that this 9 year old girl played her part in the war effort

HIGH QUALITY CRAFTS FROM A HIGH QUALITY VILLAGE

and obviously treasured this thank you letter.

We are delighted to be able to display it and are very grateful to the family for donating it to us.”

Using the details in the letter, museum volunteer Jane Crossen researched into the fate of Ernest Gale - the donor of the letter and a relative of Phyllis who died in 1982, had always wondered if he had survived the war as the letter was obviously treasured by Phyllis who had kept hold of it all her life and only discovered upon her death.

Born in 1883, George died in 1959 so he survived the war. He married Ethel Ella Saunders in 1908. They had one child, Lorna Kathleen Ella Gale, mentioned in the letter, who was born in 1911 and died in 2000 in Taunton.

Before the war Ernest was a carpenter and a gamekeeper and in 1939 (on the census) he was a dairy farmer. He enlisted in 1916 and finished the war on 4 November 1918.

The donor family wanted the letter to be kept safe and the museum was delighted to be able to display it in the knitting exhibition until the end of September, thereafter it will be archived in the museum collection and available to those who wish to undertake any further research into the family.

Erpingham Village near Aylsham is a village of many talents.

Last year the village commemorated its famous son, Sir Thomas Erpingham, and the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt with many highly successful events - including a Medieval Spectacular. The money from all the events went towards a fund to help repair and upgrade our beautiful church, St. Marys, Erpingham.This year 45 people from the village redecorated the whole of our lovely grade 1 listed medieval church. Yes really!

But we are not content with that!

To swell the coffers of the church restoration fund, we will be holding the first Festival of Crafts in Erpingham with Calthorpe Village Hall on 29 October from 10am – 4pm. Local artists and craftspeople from Erpingham and other North Norfolk villages will have unique and high quality crafts for sale. The crafts will include textiles, paintings, metal work, pottery, jewellery, willow and rope work and much more.

Sir Thomas Erpingham would have been proud of us!

Iron Horse back in the saddle

Over 350 members and shareholders had a special treat at an event held for them on 1 October at North Norfolk Railway.

Visitors to the railway’s Weybourne workshops were delighted to see the M&GN Society’s ‘Iron Horse’, War Department 2-10-0 locomotive 90775 boiler reunited with its chassis and wheels – a visual milestone in the process of the loco’s expected return to service early next year in time for the start of the 2017 season.

Society Chairman, Neil Sharpe, said ‘Trustees and members are really pleased with the progress being made. The ‘Iron horse’ really is back in the saddle’.

The Society awarded the contract for the locomotive’s overhaul to the recently established engineering division of the North Norfolk Railway, which has received considerable investment from the Railway in new facilities and expertise to enable the complete overhaul of locomotives without the need to send them away. It can also undertake

work for other heritage lines and locomotive owners.

The work on the WD included the complete refurbishment of the horn guides, axle boxes and wheel sets. Optical alignment equipment was used to ensure the accuracy of these components and complex plate renewals were done in the new boiler shop.

Following the successful steam test earlier in the month, the boiler was reunited with the

loco chassis in late September. This is a major step in the completion of the overhaul.

Mr Sharpe said ‘The Members and Shareholders Day was a huge success giving visitors a wonderful opportunity to see the railway at work and what goes on behind the scenes to make the operation of the railway so successful. The opportunity to see the newly ‘mated’ boiler and chassis was an added bonus and whetted appetites for its return to service in 2017’.

is the first complete locomotive overhaul to be processed by the newly established department at the North Norfolk Railway. Our staff have demonstrated the capabilities of the new facility, which now has a growing order book for overhaul works including some from Europe’.

The locomotive WD 90775 was built at Glasgow in 1943 as part of an order for the Ministry of Supply. The engine from new was sent abroad to work, and never worked for British Railways. It was repatriated for preservation in 1984, and has been working on the NNR since 2003. It was purchased by the M&GN Society in 2006. The engine is numbered 90775, as the last engine of the same design in BR stock was numbered 90774.

Fundraising for the “Iron Horse Project” has so far raised almost 50% of the estimated cost of the overhaul and return of 90775 to traffic.

Trevor Eady General Manager added ‘the WD

News from RESCUE : WOODEN BOATS at the Maritime Heritage Centre

We are nearing the end of another successful summer season, having achieved so much, with our restoration of Dunkirk ‘Little Ship’ and former Wells Lifeboat ‘Lucy Lavers’ and now a return to normal activities.

Lucy Lavers is now moored in the harbour at Wells and is available for trips for individuals as well as for groups of up to 10 people. These trips have become very popular, says our skipper, Nick Groom.

Bookings can be made through Wells Tourist Information Centre 01328 710885.

Meanwhile the Maritime Heritage Centre at Greenways, Stiffkey NR23 1QF (follow the brown road signs) goes from strength to strength, open throughout half term, plus at weekends and on Bank Holidays from 10am to 4pm, until the end of October.

There is a wealth of information and many

artefacts on display illustrating our wonderful coastal heritage, including fishing boats, local characters and their stories, boat-building, ongoing restoration projects plus the history of the former Army Camp on which we are sited, not forgetting the story of lifeboat Lucy Lavers and her restoration at Stiffkey. We also have a selection of souvenirs on sale, including books and t-shirts, DVDs, mugs and postcards, proceeds go towards the running costs of our charity.

We are especially looking to recruit a few more volunteers to help staff the Centre – could you spare just 3 hours a month?

No need to be a maritime expert – the displays are mostly self explanatory – and you will be working alongside other volunteers in our friendly team. Just enjoy chatting to visitors and being involved in promoting our local heritage!

Norfolk Hospice Seeks a Wine Expert

The successful launch of The Norfolk Hospice’s house clearance service has led to an unusual donation.

‘There were 24 bottles of wine and 4 bottles of cider dating back to 1984 for us to clear from a property and we are looking for someone who can give us an idea of their value’ said Barry Francis, The Norfolk Hospice Distribution Centre manager.

Amongst the bottles is a wine from Harrods, a 1987 Cahors, a 1984 Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a 1984 Merrydown vintage cider.

The wine is being carefully stored with the hope that someone with a good knowledge of wine and cider will come forward and help the Hospice to make the most of this unusual donation.

If you believe you are able to help value this donation or would like to know more about the house clearance service offered by the Hospice please call The Norfolk Hospice Distribution Centre on 01553 767752. some of the wine.

Hundreds turn out to rock at charity music gig Hundreds of people flocked to a charity music gig in north Norfolk earlier this month.

With 29 acts on the line up, Unplugged by the Sea was set up to raise funds for the Weybourne Unit at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

After a three-hour coin count of the weekend’s bucket collection, the total raised has reached £1,177.27.

The family-friendly event, organised by Ben Carpenter from Overstrand and his girlfriend Loren Allen from Norwich, took place at The Crown in Sheringham.

Mr Carpenter, who has previously helped to organise Rock Bodham, said “I just can’t believe it, we had cancellations at the last minute and people stepped in to fill the slots, from a girl on holiday, Katie Spencer, to a guy in the crowd, Jim Higgs, our compere Chad Mason and DJ Hagster who got the crowd dancing on the Saturday night with a Motown set.

“Everyone has been so generous and the buckets kept on filling up.”

The total raised will go towards the renewal of a music licence at the Weybourne Day Unit at the

East Norfolk Operatic Society

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

The pair were inspired to set up the Unplugged gig after Miss Allen’s ather, Kevin, had been using the unit while having chemotherapy treatment.

Miss Allen said “The support we have had has been truly overwhelming.

The cause we were raising money for has struck a chord with so many people and it was a pleasure to have been approached by members of the public who are or have been in a similar position to my family.

“I am astounded by everyone’s generosity and hope that we can pull together as a community again to support other causes in the future.”

Mr Carpenter said “We had constant praise all weekend, holidaymakers loved it and locals couldn't believe we managed to get a marquee at the Crown.

“The weather was awful, with rain and wind, but we did have a great marquee and with music and ale it was soon a great event.

At their recent Annual General Meeting, East Norfolk Operatic Society (ENOS) reported a very successful week of performances of the popular Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera ‘The Gondoliers’ at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich.

In May 2017, the Society will be performing ‘The Yeomen Of The Guard’ also by Gilbert and Sullivan - a show requiring a large cast and a strong chorus. They are actively

“The bands all want to play again next year and the landlord was so happy he's asked us to do it again too.”

One visitor on holiday in the town said “I came to Sheringham as I love it here but events like this has sealed it for me, the c ommunity spirit is magnificent.”

Organisers would like to thank landlord of The Crown, Bob Brewster, who supplied the artists with food and drink and supplied the marquee and sound.

They also give thanks to the many volunteers who gave up their time to support the event, the artists who played for free and the people who attended and donated to the bucket collection.

Mr Brewster said “We had an excellent weekend of varied music performed at a very high standard.”

seeking new members to swell their ranks and join their friendly group. They would particularly welcome male singers.

ENOS rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings from 13 September at 7.30pm at the St Mary’s Church Hall in Wroxham, Norfolk. Performances will take place at the Maddermarket Theatre from 3 May to 6 May 2017.

Cromer and District Food Bank â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;electrified' by Sheringham Shoal Sheringham Shoal Community Fund has awarded a grant to the Cromer and District Food Bank to enable the purchase of a Nissan e-NV 200 van.

This economic work horse, which has been supplied and sponsored by the Nissan dealership Crayford and Abbs in Bodham, North Norfolk, will cut C&DFB's vehicle running costs significantly.

The Food Bank covers an area of 200 square miles, and last year supplied 3-day emergency food packages to 2409 people in need, including 920 children. At a running cost of just 2p per mile and with low maintenance costs, the electric van will make savings which will be used to feed more families in need.

Ella King, Project Manager at the Food Bank said "We are very grateful to the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund for making this purchase possible. Every

penny we save on running costs means more help to local families in need of support."

The keys to the vehicle were presented to Ms King by Timothy Hardy, Financial Controller of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm at Wind Farm Place, the wind farm's O&M base at Egmere near Wells-next-the-Sea in North Norfolk.

Cromer teachers inspired by former hostage Staff from Cromer Academy have received awards from former hostage Terry Waite at a special event to mark the new school year.

Nina Torin and Jimmy Morrison from the secondary school were among the winners of Inspiration Awards at the event for teachers and support staff from the Inspiration Trust academy family, held at St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall in Norwich on Thursday 1 September.

During the awards ceremony, which recognised excellence across all the schools, the winners were presented with trophies by Mr Waite and Inspiration Trust Chairman Sir Theodore Agnew in recognition of their fantastic contributions to school life.

the 800-strong audience and explained the circumstances of his capture and the torment of his near five-year ordeal.

The day rounded off with a chance for staff to meet and swap ideas with colleagues from schools across the Trust, across 40 group sessions held at nearby Jane Austen College.

But he also talked about his work since release, including working with schools and prisons where young people can be at risk of radicalisation.

He told the audience that schools are key to preventing the spread of fundamentalism and terror.

"There are many young people looking for something to believe in," he said.

"This is an increasingly complicated and confusing world, and as teachers you have a very important role in guiding young people, and helping them see the things that bring us together.

"We are all part of one human race, and that is a very important thing to remember."

The event also heard from Sir Theodore and chief executive Dame Rachel de Souza about the last 12 months and plans for the future.

Autumn

There's a nip in the air, autumn is here.

The countryside is beautiful at this time of year.

Sunlight filters through the trees, making everywhere so bright, I watch the river sparkle, such a magical sight.

I see a red squirrel whizzing up a tree, the speed that he is moving quite surprises me.

Gold and brown leaves spiral down and crackle where I tread, the colours are amazing, sometimes the leaves are red.

My spirits are lifted at the colours that I see, I long for days like this, they give such joy to me.

Officially Up and Running!

It’s official! Coltishall Jaguars Running Club celebrated the grand opening of their new headquarters at Scottow Enterprise Park in August.

The celebrations were, of course, combined with training and the runway at the base was once again occupied by speeding Jaguars!

Over 55 of the Club’s members turned up for the event which saw the Club’s founder and President Alan Groves cut the ribbon on the door of the leased unit on the former RAF Coltishall airbase.

“This is a really exciting time for the Club,” said Alan. “It is a great room for us and a great situation, with plenty of opportunity for the club’s training runs - both on and site and in the surrounding lanes and countryside.

“It also makes an ideal venue for our annual series of three races, with a wide and flat course providing fast times for runners.”

Club, come along and check us out. More details can be found at www.coltishalljaguars.co.uk or by calling 01603 737262.

The move to the old airbase certainly seems to have created a buzz of interest around the Jaguars. So far this year membership to the Running Club has increased by 20% and there were record turnouts to both the Mike Groves 10K race in June and the Jolly Jaguars 10K in September.

Thread lift goes non-surgical. A unique non-surgical facelift from Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic

We have been using a variety of face and neck lift techniques at the Coltishall Clinic. From Surgical face-lifts, laser facelifts, liquid facelifts to very gentle no needle radiofrequency lifts. Thread lifts have been around in various forms for last many years. Recent refinements however make this procedure very attractive.

So what has changed?

Dr Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCCAM Medical director and laser surgeon explains- ‘three things’1] The procedure has changed from a surgical procedure to non-surgical. We do not need to use a knife anymore.

2] The threads have changed from permanent threads to reabsorbable ones-same as used in fillers.

3] The price has come down. In the past you could have a surgical face-lift for not very much more so I was reluctant to do a thread lift at such a higher price point. Now these advantages have resultant in a resurgence of interest in thread lifts. A thread lift enables two joint actions: • A lift effect as soon as threads are applied for an immediate and discreet result.

• A regenerative effect, for progressive and natural results.

The non-inserted ends of the suture are cut off. One or more sutures may be applied, depending on the patient and treated area.

What is the recovery like?

After Silhouette Soft© treatment, as with any cosmetic treatment, some slight swelling, redness or bruising may sometimes be observed, but these disappear within days.

There is sometimes a slight wrinkling of the skin (required for optimisation of the treatment), which disappears very quickly.

Log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk or call 0800 0430737 for more information or to book an appointment.

How is the procedure performed?

No special preparation is required prior to Silhouette Soft® treatment.

After a small local anaesthetic, the doctor inserts the thread under the skin to a depth of about three to five millimeters. No incision is required, as the suture is inserted using a fine needle. It is held in place with absorbable cones.

Once the suture as been applied, the doctor performs slight compression of the tissue to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect.

A Grove Miscellany

A few reminiscences of 75 years at The Grove, by John Graveling.

Part 8: Wheeltappers & Shunters

A little old man called Charlie used to turn up every so often. He was a tramp. My parents felt sorry for him and although he didn’t exactly smell of Chanel they would ask him in to the scullery for some food. His teeth were missing so he had to chew with his gums – he managed porridge OK. For a few nights he would sleep in the straw in the barns then he would be off. Months later he would turn up again. He was harmless and would

on its hind quarters. The horse broke into a gallop.

Now a galloping carthorse without any harness is not easy to hold onto- especially if you are on the hind quarters. It wasn’t long before Peter was thrown off the back. I tried to hold on to Kenny but couldn’t, so off I went. He was at the front with his arms round the horses neck and he did manage to hold on until the horse reached the end of the field and had to stop.

Peter Coman’s father, Ben, was also a railwayman. He and his wife Edie were great friends of mother and father. Edie was a cook at The Grove for some years and was present when I was born. Ben used to help father in the garden.

When these two were digging together it was like two mechanical spades non-stop turning over the soil. Sadly Ben was ill when still at relatively a young age and died. I have seldom seen father quite so upset. Peter Coman reminded me recently of an occasion when we climbed a tree at the back of The Grove and quite near to what was then the tool shed. From there we looked over to what was the bathroom (it still is) where the window was wide open. As we did so a young lady was just finishing having a bath and got out to dry herself.

What were we to do? Of course we quickly and quietly climbed down as all boys would do!!

Really?

On a few occasions father came home very upset.

Sadly, desperate people did at times take their lives by jumping from bridges into the path of an oncoming train. Whatever the reasons, and there could be many, it is still very disturbing for any involved. There was one time when father was taking a train into Norwich Station when he saw a lady standing on the end of the platform right on the edge. He sensed that she was going to jump and slammed on the train brakes. Fortunately the train was already slowing as it entered the station and it just stopped in time. He jumped down, picked up by the lapels the startled lady from the track and really dressed her down. She was left in no uncertain terms the seriousness of her action- both upon herself and upon other people. I believe afterwards her family got in touch to thank him. Those in the train were not so complimentary. What sort of driver is this!? – throwing us all about just as we were about to get out! There are times when you just can’t win.

Modern Wheeltapping in Lviv Ukraine

The railway was quite an important part of life in the Suffield Park part of Cromer. There were so many railwaymen who lived near the station.

There was one man who was the knocker-upper.

He would come round early in the morning with a long stick and knock on the windows of those who were on early shift. Were there no alarm clocks in those days? Then there were the wheel tappers who walked along the trains when they

Graham Allen 2016 awards announced

Pensthorpe play barn wins prestigious North Norfolk District Council conservation and design award. Hootz House in Penthorpe has been awarded the 2016 Graham Allen Award for its exceptional design and contribution to the built environment of the District.

Pensthorpe Natural Parks new play barn incorporates a 300m2 indoor adventure centre and was commended by the judging panel for its innovative approach to design and sustainability.

Chair of the judging panel and Cabinet Member for Planning Cllr Sue Arnold said “This project has really excelled, not only in its unique architectural design but also in achieving its goal of being truly sustainable and providing an exciting new attraction for the District.

“The standard of entries in this 35th year of the Graham Allen Awards has been excellent. There was extremely stiff opposition and all those shortlisted can be incredibly proud.”

Ninety per cent of the timber used in Hootz House construction was sustainably sourced, with the cedar cladding including 50mm-holes for insects and birds. The energy used on site is also provided by a new ground source heat pump.

During the Council’s annual Greenbuild event, members of the public were also invited to vote for their favourite shortlisted 2016 Graham Allen project for the People’s Choice Award. The vote attracted more than 1,000 votes.

How is it done nowadays? I haven’t seen a wheel tapper for many years. But it still happens in the Ukraine and Poland!

J’s WEDDING CARS

help a bit in the garden or with the horse.

Many of the railway men had nicknames. One of them was known as Mutton – but apparently not to his face. He called round one afternoon and of course mother politely welcomed him. “Good afternoon Mr Mutton”. She did not twig why father was kicking her under the table. There was Kenny. Kenny was a very pleasant young fireman but subject to having his leg pulled. A vacancy came up for the stationmasters job at Liverpool St. Kenny was persuaded to apply for it. He was not very good at football but to every ones surprise did become quite an accomplished referee. Three of us got onto the back of our carthorse; he was in the front; I was in the middle and Peter Coman was on the back. Another boy, also called Peter, could not get on. He was very upset about this. He picked up some stones and hurled them at the back of the horse and slapped it

were in the station with a long handled hammer tapping the wheels. If the wheel didn’t ring it indicated a crack.

The project was praised for its attention to detail, quality of workmanship and for improving the town’s services. Sheringham Rail Station also won the Commended Award from the Judging Panel.

The Highly Commended Award went to The Stable Yard, Rectory Lane, Northrepps. The project involved the difficult challenge of converting a pair of derelict Grade II listed stables for new use whilst maintaining their original character and appearance.

The judging panel commended the scheme for its success in securing the long-term conservation of the run-down stables and for adopting a traditional approach to repair and restoration.

The awards were presented at Oddfellows Hall, Sheringham on 21 September by Edward Allen, the eldest son of the late Graham Allen who was the first chairman of North Norfolk District Council.

Golden Bullet, Silver Screen?

By Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr In a discussion document entitled Strengthening Tax Avoidance Sanctions and Deterrents, the government has provided more information following its announcement in the Budget that it would ‘explore options to introduce downsides for those who enable tax avoidance’. Ministers are said to be frustrated that even when HM Revenue and Customs defeat schemes such as the vehicles designed to exploit tax reliefs for film-making, as are beloved by glamorous celebrities and successful people in all walks of life, the advisers to the schemes can still pocket their professional fees.

More than 1,600 people were named in the Liberty £1.2billion tax avoidance scheme, making it the largest avoidance scheme ever marketed. Investors included celebrities, top businessmen, criminals, doctors, lawyers and even a judge. It centred on a music industry investment scheme. Another company Ingenious marketed tax-efficient film

industry investment schemes. Many celebrities with ‘right on’ credentials have been exposed, to the delight of the media.

But, have the General Anti-Avoidance Regulations now gone too far? The developments are disquieting. The bill raises the spectre of retrospective penalties against advice given in good faith.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury has stated that those who provide the services that enable aggressive tax avoidance ‘should bear real risks and costs for their choices’. The Financial Times commented that ‘taking battle to the supply side of the tax avoidance industry is sensible’. Existing sanctions do nothing to deter the sale of ‘off-the-shelfschemes’, as a barrister’s opinion backing them has to-date been enough to validate them.

The proposals for how the new regime will work have prompted widespread unease in the financial professions. There has Coast Arts 2016 Festival Week always been a Traditionally Coast Arts has focused on providing a busy fundamental principle programme of arts based events centred on Cromer and Sheringham that arranging ones during the autumn half-term week at the end of October. affairs in such a way For 2016 Coast Arts has moved away from this in favour of as to pay less tax is not supporting the delivery of a year-round programme of creative illegal. This remains a engagement opportunities across North Norfolk.

“We started this year in April when we organised the hugely successful CHOIRfest on Cromer Pier” said Annie Lloyd, chair of Coast Arts. “Then in June there was a 3-day feast with Lynne Truss and in the summer Coast Arts supported funfilled, free events in collaboration with the Friends of North Lodge Park, Arts North Norfolk and others.”

Around the last two weeks of October, there will be the usual eclectic mix of Coast Arts events from participatory Big Draw art events to première music concerts, family fun and inspirational talks, art exhibitions and walks, drama and education.

“This year in collaboration with our partners, we're putting on over 20 events for the Coast Arts Festival week in October,“ Annie said.

“Spreading events through the year has brought its own challenges and has allowed us to engage with more of the community. It's now time to focus on Festival week!”

The new Coast Arts Magazine was launched in the summer. “The magazine was really well received and we have built on the experience and have just published the second edition of the magazine which doubles up as the events programme for this autumn's festival events”, added Annie. Full details of all events are on the website at CoastArts.co.uk.

1940s Weekend 2016

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1940s weekend, organised by North Norfolk Railway, saw the towns of Sheringham, Weybourne, and Holt entirely transformed.

The extraordinary efforts of local businesses, and participants from inside and outside the towns, made the event a genuine success.

The Friday did not seem like a promising start; it rained heavily the whole day. However, when the weather pulled through, the weekend was so successful that North Norfolk Railway were forced to stop selling tickets for a time on the Saturday. The NNR worried that there would not be enough seats on the trains to get everybody home.

There was music from The Sheringham Salvation Army Band, Nostalgia Unlimited, American Tan & Timescape and even gramophone music. To go with the music there were Jitterbug dancers.

Visitors could experience wartime rations and spam sandwiches from the NAAFI at Weybourne, and a cup of char and wad from the Institute tearooms at Holt.

The new extension at Sheringham station provided an excellent panoramic view on many of the events around the town.

Local shops participated by doing up their shops with suitable features

We had navy officers and army officers, policemen, army men, and nurses. Sheringham high-street was full to the brim. All involved showed a positive spirit that would have pleased Rosie the Riveter.

Holt increased their involvement this year. There were more pipers, more vehicles, and an expanded Vintage Bus service. Chrissie Rayment, of North Norfolk

Crab and Lobster Quiche and firm (about 20 mins)

Put the crab and lobster in the bowl and season.

Separately, mix the eggs and cream.

Pastry 185g butter 200g flour Water ½ cup Seasoning

This recipe is a real favourite on our Sunday lunch menu and makes the most of the fabulous shell fish we get in from John Davies in Cromer, recent recipient of Norfolk Food and Drink’s Outstanding Achievement award and very well deserved too! It’s perfect for these autumnal days when one still needs something quite light, but also filling, and it’s fairly easy to prepare to boot.

We remain open for dinner every night (6-9pm) as well as our wonderful Sunday lunch and Afternoon Teas – and we’re taking bookings for Christmas parties! - so do come in and see us soon.

Once the pastry is done, replace the rice and beans with the crab mix in and add the cream mix on top. Then simply sprinkle with the cheese.

Filling Three crabs One lobster Six eggs 150ml cream 125g Norfolk Dapple cheese Seasoning

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Mix flour and butter into breadcrumbs, gradually add water to form a smooth ball.

Roll out and place over a tin, gently mould into shape with your fingers. For perfect edges use the rolling pin to nip off extra pastry.

Use a fork to prick the bottom of the pastry, place baking powder then some rice or beans on top and put in the oven at 180c until nice

ART EXHIBITION BY SAMUEL THOMAS

Norfolk & Suffolk pop-art inspired paintings

Keep the spirit of summer alive with artwork that is truly unique, euphoric and mesmerising, designed to lift our spirits all year round.

With winter approaching, this is a great opportunity to meet the artist, browse or purchase summer inspired artworks, or consider that extra special gift for someone this Christmas. This imaginative solo exhibition includes an extensive & diverse collection of original paintings, framed

and unframed limited edition prints starting from £95 each and greeting cards.

Twenty-nine-year-old, Norfolkbased artist Samuel Thomas has been exhibiting for eight years and prides himself on being a self-taught artist, as he is constantly developing and experimenting with his painting techniques and subject matter. You may be a little surprised to discover some of the artist’s paintings are produced using sand collected from Cromer beach. He has also used coffee to paint with. Samuel enjoys abandoning the traditional flat canvas and instead paints onto used surfboards, life rings washed up on the beach and on old floor boards ripped up from the studio. ‘Although my collection is diverse in terms of style and subject, the main theme that runs throughout all of my paintings is that of ‘escapism’, in regard to the fact that all of the paintings capture idealistic perfect moments in life,’ explains Samuel Thomas.

You can view or purchase artwork direct from the website: www.samuelthomasart.co.uk

The exhibition is from 22 - 30 October in the Function Room, Red Lion, Brook St, Cromer, NR27 9HD and is open 10am – 5pm every day with free admission

District Councillor to scale Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for charity Cllr Hilary Cox will climb to 5,795m in five-day challenge for Multiple Sclerosis centre Councillor Hilary Cox is set to ascend Africa’s largest mountain just four months after having knee-replacement surgery at the age of 65. The Cromer District Councillor has already reached Everest Base Camp in an expedition five years ago, but will now fly to Tanzania to conquer dormant volcano Kilimanjaro.

Cllr Cox said “I am always up for a challenge especially when it’s for a good cause. If you keep yourself well and fit you have the potential to do more. My doctor wouldn’t give me a medical certificate for the trip because I had problems with my knee, so I had to have a new knee, and it’s working very well at the moment.”

Cllr Cox has been in training by walking as much as possible and recently walked the Yorkshire Three Peaks. She added “The main training I’m doing is breathing. When I did the Everest Base Camp I had a bit of altitude sickness, so I am trying to make sure I can control that as much as possible while I am going up Kilimanjaro.”

The trek up Kilimanjaro has different climate zones with tropical forest, volcanic and arctic conditions. For the five-day ascent and one-day descent Cllr Cox will be sleeping in a tent.

New 48 space car park and toilets planned for Cromer Planning application submitted by North Norfolk District Council

A new 48 space car park, with six blue badge spaces and a new toilet block, could be built on the old tennis courts at North Lodge Park in Cromer.

The east end of town has been in need of more parking for years and now a planning application lodged by North Norfolk District Council seeks to address this challenge.

The majority of public car parking facilities to serve Cromer town centre, beach and promenade attractions are located to the west of the town centre and include The Meadow, Cadogan Road and Runton Road car parks.

“The east end of Cromer has been crying out for more car parking for many years and we want to tackle this need by good use of a brownfield site and at an appropriate scale,” said North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet Member for Assets, John Rest.

do so in this location.

“The project also makes use of a redundant building to build excellent new, accessible toilets.”

If it receives planning approval, the new pay and display car park would be built on a part of North Lodge Park adjacent to Overstrand Road. The area in question is ‘brownfield’ and has previously been used for tennis and a children’s play area. For several years, it has been redundant as a public space and is now used by the Council’s parks unit for storage of vehicles.

The project includes plans to build a new, independent entrance and exit on to Overstrand Road to the east of the existing access, identified after consultation with Highways officers. There will be a height restriction barrier in place to prevent use by camper vans

and commercial vehicles.

The former bandstand/park attendant’s building would be turned into a new public toilet block including male, female, accessible and baby-changing facilities. These new toilets would replace the dated facilities to the rear of the tea rooms.

Pedestrian access from the car park would be provided into North Lodge Park in the north-west corner of the car park, coming out into the Park opposite the tea-room, allowing safe pedestrian access to the town centre and beach beyond via The Gangway, or the Rocket House lift. Pedestrian access to the shops at the east end of Church Street would also be available via existing pavements on Overstrand Road. If the project goes ahead, the boating lake, café, children’s playgroup and the use of North Lodge would be unaffected.

“This will be a positive move for businesses at this end of town, visitors, the wider tourism offer in Cromer, people wanting level access to the Rocket House lift and for footfall in North Lodge Park itself.

“We know more and more people are coming to Cromer and we have to provide the facilities they need. This will help the town to grow and expand, taking advantage of the increasing number of tourists as well as helping residents. “We have also increased the number of isabled bays above and beyond the policy we normally operate to because we felt it was appropriate to North Norfolk Different Strokes Association

Charity Angling Event Anglers were invited to a charity fish at Glenn Farm Fishery in Sustead last month.

Fishery manager, Claire Barrett, provided breakfast rolls and drinks and Rite Gear Angling Centre of West Runton sponsored bait for the event, which was organised by Douglas Hoy, Chairman of NNDSA.

Fishing on the day was slow with plenty of rain from lunchtime onwards but competitors braved the wet conditions to take a few small carp and silver fish - heaviest weight on the day went to Martin Chase of Cross Street, Cromer.

Next Generation Tackle Ltd sponsored prizes, a travel rod and holdall, reel and landing net and handle, which was presented to Martin Chase.

A total of £450 was raised by the attending anglers, which goes to NNDSA for use by members with rehabilitation activities such as gym with trained coach, aquarobics and the occasional social trip.

Many thanks to all those who helped organise and run the event, especially the anglers and friends who raised the much-needed funds.

Paston Sixth Form College Awards Evening 2016 Kevin Grieve welcomed over 200 students and their parents to a packed St Nicholas Church, North Walsham on the evening of Thursday 15 September.

He told the audience â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had been a brilliant year for the College, with the students achieving some of our best ever A level and BTEC results.â&#x20AC;? In his address, Kevin spoke about the excellent Ofsted report the College received in January 2016 and thanked all the staff and students for their contribution to the success.

He was particularly pleased with a 98.4% A level pass rate and a 100% pass rate on BTEC courses. The results at A level included an incredible A*-B pass rate of 50% and an A*-C rate of 78%.In BTEC 60% of the students achieved high grades with many students achieving triple star distinction level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not surprising that over 200 students are going to University after A level and BTEC courses, with over 15% going on to top Russell Group Universities including Oxbridge.

He also celebrated the number of students going straight in to employment and apprenticeships. He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;many have been highly ambitious and secured some fantastic opportunities in the local area.

The guest speaker this year was Professor Susan J Smith, Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge. She spoke to students about their career paths and having the ambition, confidence and determination to aim for the very best. She made the point that through hard work anyone can achieve their dreams. Then she presented the certificates and prizes to all the students including over 80 Norfolk County Scholars. These students had achieved ABB grades or better at A level and distinctions on their BTEC courses. Students enjoyed the citations from teachers who explained the reasons for the awards. Special prizes included the Ivan Palfrey Cup presented to Oliver Church by Ted Gadsden for the Rotary Club and also the Kristo-

Sixty primary school children from across Norfolk enjoyed a fun-filled day of fishing and outdoor learning at Lenwade Pike Club on Tuesday, 13 September. Following the huge success of last year, this Fishing 4 Schools (F4S) open day, by invitation of Eastern Region F4S chairman Sally Acloque and Lenwade Pike Club members, was bathed in sunshine and was every bit as successful as the previous occasion.

Youngsters - from The Clare School, a specialist physical/sensory complex needs school in Norwich, Hockering Church of England Primary School, Dereham, Great Witchingham Church of England Primary School and Stradbroke Primary Academy, Great Yarmouth - took part in a range of 20minute fishing-related ctivity sessions.

But most importantly the youngsters all tried their hands at fly casting with Mike Smith and Tony Hall and coarse fishing with volunteers from the pike club - and despite it being one of the hottest days of the year they caught a succession of rudd and one very large perch.

In all around 30 volunteers, plus instructors and teachers were in hand to ensure the young people stayed focused and enjoyed their day.

F4S director Charles Jardine said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huge thanks is due to all the people who made this day so special.

This brief introduction to fishing might be a moment that changes the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives forever and offers them both a pastime and link to so many school-based activities.â&#x20AC;?

And Georgina Mace, teacher at Great Witchingham C of E Primary School, said "The children had a fantastic experience in a day that provided wonderful team building opportunities, enriched our curriculum and allowed the children to access the best of our countryside. They couldn't stop talking about the fishing and they can't wait to go again!â&#x20AC;?

Fishing 4 Schools works with schools across the country to offer short courses in angling geared to the National Curriculum, incorporating science subjects like weights and measures and entomology.

Sally Acloque said the Norfolk team planned to build further connections with these and other schools across the county, and is creating a teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pack to explain how teachers can use the course to complement classroom learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children showed immense enthusiasm and we want to embrace this to bring the project to many more children in Norfolk,â&#x20AC;? she said.

School's playground project opens for business!

Friday 9 September was the culmination of a major project at Sheringham Woodfields School, which has been in the throes of a major £175,000 revamp of its very tired playground.

The splendid new inclusive, state-of-the-art area, which allows play for all regardless of need and disability, was formally opened by local MP, Norman Lamb and Chair of the Governors, Carole Fields.

The ceremony was watched by the school's pupils and the many generous people and organisations that donated the money to make it possible. These included representatives from Sheringham Town Council, the school's governing body, Sheringham Chamber of Trade, Sheringham Primary School, local businesses and, of course, parents.

"This has been an ambitious project for the school in terms of its scale, its cost and in designing a playground that would deliver play and learning opportunities for all," said James Stanbrook, Head Teacher. "The project, led by Matthew Smith has taken two years to raise the necessary funds, with feedback from staff and pupils to ensure the design was suitable for our pupils."

The playground has been designed with learning in mind and Rebecca Tate, Deputy Head Teacher, has created learning packs to go with all the equipment so it can be used during lessons as well as break times.

"The school owes a debt of gratitude to all these people and organisations, and in particular Simon Turnbull, Site Manager of the School, for overseeing the project and working hard with the various contractors to ensure everything was completed in time for the beginning of the new school year," said Matthew Smith, Business Manager at Woodfields S chool. "The children have already road-tested the equipment and given it the seal of approval!

"The school has appointed a member of staff to lead on play, which will ensure that we get the most out of the area, and we have also purchased balance bikes, ball sport and balance equipment to further improve the hard standing areas and to use on the newly installed roadway. In addition to all this, we have introduced a small stage for which pupils have designed the backdrop, so budding thespians can rummage through the fancy dress shed and ‘take to the footlights'."

Everyone who attended the opening ceremony was given the opportunity to tour the new facilities, meet staff and pupils and enjoy a cup of tea and slice of cake provided by About with Friends.

Matthew concluded by saying, "The new playground is a big asset to Sheringham Woodfields, and we plan to extend its use by means of offering after school clubs and summer play sessions. Both these schemes will help to provide respite for families and carers."

Importance of a Will what will you leave behind?

Clapham & Collinge Solicitors support local Will scheme

Having a Will allows you to decide what happens to your assets on your death. Without a Will, your estate, which is everything you own such as: your property, bank accounts, pensions and personal possessions, will be distributed in accordance with Jennefer Nash the Intestacy Rules. These rules are arbitrary and take effect irrespective of whether or not you would have wanted the distribution. Everyone should consider whether or not they need a Will and then aim to review it at least every five years to check that it reflects any changes in their personal or financial circumstances.

Clapham & Collinge has always been a big supporter of charities and has previously taken part in Will Aid, as well as the Marie Curie Will Scheme that took place 1st May – 31st July this year. This October we are taking part in the scheme Norfolk Will Help. The scheme is a local Will scheme, supporting the following charities: Nelson's Journey, Age UK Norwich, The Benjamin Foundation, Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind (NNAB) and the Big C.

We can draft one of our basic Wills, and instead of our fees you will be asked to make a suggested donation of £100.00 for a single Will, and £150.00 for a couple, which will be split equally between the five charities. We have a number of appointments available through the Norfolk Will Help scheme across our offices in Norwich, North Walsham, Sheringham and Brooke.

Statistics collected in 2015 show only 47% of adults in the UK have written a Will. Out of those who have made a Will, 52% have not

reviewed it in the last three years. If you have had a change in circumstances since creating your most recent Will such as, marriage, children or divorce it may mean that your Will is invalid or no longer reflects your wishes. Lin Whitehead, Partner and Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate Department said ‘‘We Lesley Ward encourage clients of all ages to consider making arrangements for the future. Having a Will allows you to decide what happens to your property and possessions. It puts you in control. If you die without a Will, your estate will be distributed in accordance with the Intestacy Rules, which are old fashioned and can lead to disappointment and injustice. We are delighted to support Norfolk Will Help once again as it’s a great way to put your affairs in order while supporting 5 Norfolk charities.’’

Norwich City FC Review Since my last review of Norwich’s home game against Cardiff, the Canaries have been flying high, ever since going on an unbeaten run of five games in all competitions.

After Cardiff, Norwich were paid a visit by newly promoted Wigan in the midweek kick off. Norwich played quite poorly on the day, however bright spark Jacob Murphy, who is having a real breakout season this year alongside twin Josh, scored two goals to give Norwich a 2-1 home win after Jordi Gomez pulled one back for Wigan late in the second half.

After the win against Wigan, Norwich then faced tough opposition in the form of

North Norfolk District Council announces October half-term and Christmas holiday activity options

Get ahead of the game and check out what is on offer at North Norfolk District Council’s community sports centres during October half term and the Christmas holidays.

Nottingham Forest as they travelled away.

Norwich had a very poor start to the game as they went behind just before half time, as Greek striker Vellios prodded Forest ahead after a defensive lapse in concentration by Norwich. However Norwich performed a remarkable comeback as they came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1, after goals from Howson and Dorrans, with the latter’s goal being a fine volley from the edge of the box with the Forest keeper stranded.

After beating Forest, Norwich then faced a trip to Merseyside to face Everton in the League cup, a game which not many Norwich fans expected to progress past. Steven Naismith scored against his old club as his scuffed shot managed to loop over the Activities for both holidays have been included in the latest brochure, which is available online at www.north-norfolk.gov.uk and will be distributed via schools in the coming weeks.

Events at Cromer, North Walsham and Stalham sports centres include roller skating, football, street dance, trampolining, dodgeball, badminton, logic games, Christmas arts and crafts, playground games, ball games, pirates and capture the flag.

Becky Palmer, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said “Planning for school holidays can be a challenge, but with these activities children can have a healthy and enjoyable time while making new friends in a professionally run environment.

The Vikings have made a brilliant start to the season, winning their first four games and, on each occasion, scoring four or more tries to gain a bonus point.

At the end of September they were top of London North One, one point ahead of Tring and three of Chingford, the league's other unbeaten teams. The Vikings next two fixtures were against these sides on the first two Saturdays in October, so by the time this article is published it may be a little clearer who are going to be frontrunners at this early stage.

Jordan Mustard - pictured on the right with fellow newcomer ex UEA captain Nick Hartshorn - has had an amazing start to his career at Scottow. The winger joined pre-season from Swaffham who play three leagues below the Vikings, but

Three of Happisburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station volunteers have been honoured by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution by being awarded the Institution’s Gold Badge for their service.

The three are Peter Poll, Rita Poll and Philip Smith.

Peter Poll joined the Happisburgh sales shop team in 1989, becoming responsible for ordering stock and pricing of all goods in the shop until its closure in 2011. In the early 1990s he joined the Station’s Management Committee and by 1999 was Vice Chairman. 2001 saw him take on the role of Box Secretary. In 2006 Peter was awarded his Bronze badge, then in 2011 he took on the task of banking the shop money, which he is still doing. Over the years, assisted by his wife, he has taken souvenir stalls to many outside functions.

Most recently, Norwich faced newly promoted Burton Albion, a game which, if they won and other results went in their favour, could put them top of the table. Norwich won 3-1 after goals from Olsson, Jacob Murphy and a first ever career goal for fan favourite Ivo Pinto, as he topped off a good home performance with a nice run and finish in the dying embers of the match.

Philip Smith first got involved with the RNLI at Cromer Lifeboat Station, helping his grandfather, who was Boathouse Manager for the No 2 boat in the 1960s. Then in 1972 he started working for Richard Davies, who became the coxswain of Cromer Lifeboat. He joined the crew of the D Class boat, before joining the RAF on the Air Sea Rescue Launches, as a deckhand, rising to coxswain. He still helped at Cromer throughout his service. In 1984 he joined the crew at Happisburgh and in 1994 he took on the role of Station Press Officer, a role he still holds. In 2002, reaching the then retirement age for crew, he stood down but carried on as Press Officer and helping with training. In 2009 he became Chairman of Happisburgh Lifeboat Station Management Group, a position he still holds, and is part of the Coastal Safety Team. Philip was awarded a Long Service award for twenty years on the crew and a RNLI Statuette for his valuable support of the lifeboat service. Philip is honoured to get this award, as his father Jim Smith received the same award in 2000 from the Princess Royal for 21 years service as

Lasting Powers of Attorney

You may be aware of the importance of making a Will, but have you ever stopped to wonder what would happen if you became unable or incapable of dealing with your affairs?

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document which allows you to appoint someone that you trust as an ‘attorney’ to make decisions on your behalf. This is often a spouse or a son or daughter over the age of 18. Attorneys can make decisions for you when you no longer wish to, or when you lack the mental capacity to do so.

Who would you choose to look after your affairs if you were no longer able to do so?

There are two different types of Lasting Power of Attorney

Property and financial decisions Health and welfare decisions *******************************

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY

If you are no longer able to look after your affairs then a special court called “The Court of Protection - Office of the Public Guardian” will supervise the control of your affairs. In many cases this could result in large legal bills often on an annual basis.
