North Norfolk Speakers Club
On Wednesday 16 March, North Norfolk Speakers Club held their annual International Speech and Evaluation Contests.
Contest Chair, Clive Willet, hosted a very enjoyable and successful evening, while Sue Eastman, Area Director, delivered a memorable Test Speech entitled ‘Turn Hate to Love’ for the Evaluation Contest.
The standard of speeches and evaluations was exceptionally high from all contestants. Paul Rosier, who stood out above the rest with his inspirational speech entitled ‘Just a Minute’
and with his excellent and perceptive speech evaluation, gained first place in both contests - a very well deserved double win! Paul will represent his club in both categories at the Area Contest, hosted by RAF Mildenhall on Tuesday 5th April.
North Norfolk Speakers Club meets every other Wednesday, 6,45pm at North Walsham High School, Spenser Avenue, North Walsham. Guests and new members are always welcome.

North East Norfolk Bird Club (NENBC)
Outdoor Event - Swanton Novers Great Wood on 17 April 09:00 13:00 - a walk in Swanton Novers Great Wood for spring migrants, though we will also be looking at plants, butterflies and possibly moths. This event is for both beginners and reasonably experienced birders. We will visit a part of the wood that is normally not open to the general public, and we will be guided by the Natural England warden, Robert Baker. The walking is on the level, though at this time of year the wood can be very wet and wellingtons are strongly advised. There are ticks in the wood, so suitable precautions are advised (avoid shorts, for example!). We will meet at the car-park and Natural England raptor watch-point at TG 010303. This is a field off (to the north) the Hindolveston to Fulmodeston Road, just west of the cross-roads with the B1110 from Holt to Guist. The postcode NR21 0NG is for Common Farm, which is south of the Hindolveston to Fulmodeston road, but near the watch-point car-park. From here we will combine into as few cars as possible, and then make a short drive to the start of the walk.
As numbers are limited for this trip, please email Andy Clarke (ac1967@cantab.net) at least 48 hours beforehand if you are intending to come. Children are welcome if accompanied by well-behaved adults, but we regret dogs are not allowed in the Great Wood. To keep the club's carbon footprint small, please consider car sharing. The leaders will be Andy Clarke (NENBC), and Robert Baker (NE).
Felbrigg Park - mid-week walk on 20 April 09:00 - 11:00 - this walk caters for all levels of ability. We will take a leisurely walk around the Park & Lake and finish with refreshments (optional) at the NT cafe. Please wear clothing appropriate to the weather - footpaths in Felbrigg can be muddy at any time of the year. Meet at Sexton's Lodge car park, off Lion's Mouth, NR11 8PS. To keep the club's carbon footprint small, please consider car sharing.

Berlin Trip for Paston College Students
On 10 March, 42 students from Paston Sixth Form College set off on a trip to Berlin.
The Arts and Technology Faculty organise trips to Berlin and Amsterdam on alternate years. The students visited a number of galleries including The Hamburger Bahnhof where they saw works by Andy Warhol and Anselm Kiefer. They also visited the Sammlung Boros collection of contemporary art, which is housed in a World War II bunker. Photography students visited the Tempelhof Airport and took some impressive images of a huge, abandoned complex of buildings. The students gained much from the trip and have sketchbooks full of drawings, photographs and research into artists, which is being used to support their studies back at College.
Beth Adams, who studies Fine Art and is heading off to Lincoln University to study Illustration, said “Berlin was a great experience. You can immerse yourself in the galleries and culture. It has helped me to identify my place within contemporary art”.
Matt Phelps Faculty Leader for Art and Technology at Paston said “The students were a real credit to the college. Taking students to galleries and providing them with opportunities to photograph and experience a culture different to their own is a big part of what we do. What I find encouraging is that a number of students re-visit the places we take them to independently. Some have taken up university exchanges with Berlin as part of their degree courses.”
This is an open invitation, to all "long time friends and cronies" who attended Keswick Hall College of Education as students or lecturers, in the entry year group of 1967 until 1970.
If you were there for the three years; or came weekly as a mature student from Belstead House in Ipswich; or were a P.G.C.E. student, then come and enjoy afternoon tea, and conversations together about present as well as past experiences, and memories. There will be a photo board to display any snaps from that time you would like to share.
Come to:- Cringleford Church Hall, next to St Peter's Church in Cringleford, near Norwich. NR4 6UE.
Saturday, April 30th. Arrival from 1pm. Phone or e-mail to book your place Janice Pulfer (Warren) on 01603 502105 janpulfer@yahoo.co.UK R.S.V.P. by April Saturday 23rd

G.I.F.T.s Annual Talent Show
On Sunday 13 March there was a rapturous and joyous sound coming from a tiny corner of Cremer Street in Sheringham as Age Concern North Norfolk and the Good Intentions Fundraising Team (G.I.F.T) celebrated local talent. The Age Concern day centre was transformed into a mini theatre for the day as budding performing talent that spanned the generations came together to put on a show of song and dance.
There was stunning vocalists, dance troupes, from the highly regarded Marlene’s School of Dance and a family of talented musical performers; they were the MSD Dancers, Pete Phillips, Brian Brown and the Volko Trio respectively, amongst others. They all contributed immensely to a wonderful and memorable atmosphere and morning of entertainment. It was all part of the annual G.I.F.T. Talent show where local performers have an opportunity to audition for other local shows throughout the year.
Everyone at Age Concern North Norfolk and G.I.F.T. would like to thank everyone who participated and supported the event as there were some truly amazing performances and we were all amazed at the incredibly high standard of entries.
The Overall winners were The Volko Trio, comprising of Dad (Christopher) on the piano, Hector aged 10 on the vibraphone and Calypso aged 7 on the drums and they live in Holt. The father is originally from Paris. Their jive performance of ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams on piano, drums and xylophone had everyone foot tapping and dancing in the aisles and also local singer Melanie Brown who is well known to many as the face behind the Fit Together walks.
Organiser, Yvonne Tiffany, from G.I.F.T. said " I was very pleased with the high standard again this year, and think we have found something special with the talent from The Volko Trio" (they are on You Tube under The Volko Trio).
The event is all part of a yearlong campaign to help raise funds for Age Concern North Norfolk, a small local charity, that was chosen by G.I.F.T. as a deserving charity to support throughout 2016 and all funds will go back into the charities much needed and well used services like day care on Cremer Street and the Befriending Scheme.

North Walsham Sunday Farmers Markets
These monthly Farmers Markets, which started over a year ago, are a welcome addition to our regular weekly Thursday markets.
They are held 10am - 2pm on the last Sunday of each month. They have been steadily growing month to month and are now a well-established event in the Market Place, with stalls selling a very large variety of locally grown or made produce and goods.
Due to popular demand, it has been decided to hold an extra new mid monthly market on the second Sunday of each month, commencing 10 April.
This is for a trial period of initially three months, so please come and support your local market. 'Use it or lose it!'
Any enquiries to Nigel (Market Manager) on 01692 409181.
Saucepan versus Soupmaker
A ‘Saucepan versus Soupmaker’ competition will be one of the highlights of an upcoming Soup and Pudding evening in Aylsham Town Hall on 23 April at 7.30pm.
Organised by Slow Food Aylsham, the event will invite guests to choose between soup made in the traditional way and soup made in a ‘new-fangled’ machine. Local chef Derrol Waller will be on hand with his saucepan while Slow Food’s Jill Willis will tend the machine.
Enough soup will be produced for all guests to have a bowl full, together with roll and butter. A selection of dessert puddings will follow, made by Slow Food Aylsham members, and accompanied by a choice of custard or cream. This is certainly an event when the diet is best left at home!
Chair of Slow Food Aylsham, Mo Anderson-Dungar, says she is really looking forward to the event, which will mirror one held seven years ago. “Back in 2009,” she says, “Slow Food held a very similar event which A selection of delicious puddings attracted a large audience and saw made by Slow Food Aylsham our members come up with a members will be served fabulous selection of puddings. Since then, our Spring event has been a foodie quiz night but we decided to revisit the Soup and Puddings this year, with the added twist of the Saucepan versus Soupmaker competition. It should be a great fun evening and we hope all the family will come along.”
Tickets for the evening, which is supported by electrical retailer J B Postle, are just £7, available in Aylsham from Barnwells Newsagents, Carousel Chocolates or the Market Place fruit and veg stall. Alternatively, phone the ticket line on 07519 361 812.

Holt Festival Art Prize 2016 is open for entries! Cash prize and Sainsbury Centre exhibition for winner
Holt Festival is delighted to announce that entry is now open for this year’s Holt Festival Art Prize.
The Holt Festival Art Prize is open to artists everywhere. In past years artists from all over the UK have submitted work. There is a cash prize of £1,500 and, in addition, the winning artwork will be exhibited at Norwich’s prestigious Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in the autumn.
The 2016 Holt Festival runs from 23 – 31 July and is acknowledged as the leading new festival in north Norfolk. The charming Norfolk Georgian country town comes alive for an exuberant week of international music, drama, visual art, dance, comedy, cinema, children’s and workshops. It has just announced its first 12 highlights and the full programme will be revealed in May.

s Carpets, Flooring & Blind
All types of original visual art are welcome, the only proviso is that the deadline for entries is midnight Sunday 26 June. Judges will select a shortlist of 2030 which will be exhibited at the Auden Theatre, Holt from 23-31 July. The winner will be announced at a private view on 24 July by Sir John Hurt, actor and Chancellor of Norwich University for the Arts. The exhibition is part of the Holt Festival Art Trail which also takes in many other galleries and exhibition spaces around the town.
International Art Appraiser and Holt Festival Art Prize organizer James Glennie commented ‘Each year I am both impressed and delighted at the standard of entries which really does seem to get higher each year. It will be a tough job for that standard to rise even higher this year but I am really looking forward to seeing the entries’.

Last year’s competition attracted an extremely high standard of entries. The winner of the prize and its attendant cheque for £1,500 was Norfolk artist Brüer Tidman’s acrylic on canvas portrait of his partner Beth Narborough. The painting was unanimously selected from over 250 entries.
This year’s judges are Amanda Geitner, Director of The East Anglia Art Fund and former Chief Curator at The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Head of Collections Management and Conservation at the Sainsbury Centre Calvin Winner and Sarah Shalagosky, Curator of the Mead Gallery at Warwick Arts Centre.

Kill your speed now … before your speed kills
We’ve all seen the headlines – speeding car, loss of control, too fast for the conditions, people injured, people killed! Often children. Yet it seems to continue regardless.
North Walsham’s residents have spoken out frequently about the speed at which vehicles travel on our roads, often inappropriate for the smaller roads found in rural, market towns. North Walsham Town Council decided to address this by purchasing two mobile speed warning signs. This was achieved by working in partnership with Norfolk County Council, successfully applying for Parish Partnership Scheme grants for half the cost of the signs. Local people and police were consulted while identifying suitable ‘hot spot’ sites around the town, with officers from both Councils working together to identify locations that meet the strict criteria governing the use of these signs.
Dubbed ‘SAM2’, and manufactured locally by Westcotec, these signs are designed to be easily moved between suitable sites identified by Highways Engineers and will warn drivers to “SLOW DOWN” if they
are at or over the speed limit for that stretch of road. The signs are fitted with data recorders that will help the Town Council and North Walsham police identify particular hot spots.
The Town Council recently took delivery of these signs, and on Thursday 10 March they were put in place at speeding hot spots on Acorn Road (near a children’s play area and park) and Happisburgh Road (near North Walsham High School), both locations having been identified as problems by residents and Councillors.
L > R Town Mayor Brenda West, Cllr Tony Thirtle, Cllr Jenny Melville and County & District Cllr Eric Seward
A bid for a third sign has been agreed by Norfolk County Council as part of the 2016/17 Parish
Partnership Scheme, further improving coverage of the town’s roads in an effort to encourage drivers to drive with care. This is one of the 122 schemes proceeding as a result of the County Council’s £380,000 grant awards for small scale highways projects announced on 11 March.
North Walsham County Cllr Eric Seward said “I am delighted that the Town Council has joined forces with the County Council to fund what is expected to be an effective reminder to drivers that there is a speed limit on roads in the town”.
The signs have to be moved regularly (there is a set maximum time for them to remain at one site) and will be used to help drivers and local people alike. And hopefully reduce the number of accidents that are waiting to happen...
Call for more planning enforcement rejected
Conservative councillors have voted down plans to cut delays in dealing with planning issues in North Norfolk.
North Norfolk District Council Liberal Democrat Councillors called for more staff to be appointed to deal with a large backlog of cases where developments had allegedly taken place without planning permission. The move was rejected by Conservative Councillors who run the Council.
At the Council's Overview & Scrutiny Committee, Liberal Democrat Councillor Eric Seward called on the Council to spend an extra £100,000 on its enforcement work. This came after the Council had received a financial report showing an expected surplus of £876,000 for the current financial year.
Councillor Seward told the Committee that little more than one full time officer could not deal with a backlog of some 250 cases. Also, in the last three years the Council had not fined anyone who let their dogs persistently foul public foot paths or dropped litter in public places as there were no staff to deal with it.
Councillor Seward was supported by fellow Liberal Democrat Councillor Virginia Gay who said that timely enforcement work was essential to the good reputation of the District Council.
Liberal Democrat Councillor Sarah Butikofer said it was a shame such a modest proposal that would have improved council services was rejected by the ruling Conservative group.

The need to review your Will in the light of the new Inheritance Tax Residential Nil Rate Band written by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr
The new Inheritance Tax Residence Nil Rate Band (RNRB) has it roots back in 2007 when the Conservative opposition said that they were in favour of increasing the Nil Rate Band (NRB) to £1M.
Although newspaper headlines have suggested that the new RNRB has that effect, this is very far from correct. A few lucky people will in 2020/21 have a combination of nil rate bands that add up to £1M, but they will be very much in the minority.
Because the new RNRB is very closely targeted being tied to homes and only available to lineal descendants, it can work in an illogical and unfair fashion. The ordinary NRB is being frozen at £325,000 to pay for the RNRB, whereas otherwise it would have started to increase from the end of 2017/18.
The new RNRB has to be claimed by the deceased’s executors - it is not automatic.
‘Closely inherited’ also needs careful scrutiny. ‘Closely’ means that it must pass to a lineal descendent; or to a spouse or civil partner of a lineal descendent. ‘Children’ includes step-children, foster children and
children who have been adopted by a third party. ‘Closely’ does not include co-habitees, dependent or vulnerable family members.
It is possible to vary a Will so as to become eligible for the RNRB. Only certain sorts of trust will be eligible for the RNRB and this produces unfairness and inconsistency, particularly where there are minor beneficiaries. Specialist advice is particularly necessary here.
The RNRB will start at £100,000 in 2017/18 and will rise by £25,000 yearly, until it reaches £175,000 in 2020/21. Thereafter it will increase in line with the Consumer Prices Index.
Debts charged on the residence are deducted, so only the net equity gets the RNRB. It might therefore beneficial to switch secured debts to other assets.
Above £2M the RNRB is withdrawn by £1 for every £2 in excess of £2M exemptions and reliefs are ignored.
Spouses may wish to leave assets away from the survivor to prevent their aggregated estates exceeding £2M. Lifetime gifts are exempt in working out the value of the estate
and this gives great opportunities for clever planning, including ‘death bed’ gifts.
The ‘downsizing’ rules are complex and somewhat arbitrary. It is vital to keep all the paperwork to provide the evidence needed by HMRC in the event of death.
Once this new and extremely complicated relief arrives in April 2017, the need to take specialist advice will never have been greater.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
A few weeks ago I wrote about the little blind cat that was handed into our care and had been re-homed with one of our fosterers. We knew at the time that she had serious health problems which could not be treated and just wanted to make sure her final weeks were spent in a loving home where she had a nice warm bed, food and water but, most importantly of all, someone to love and care for her. Sadly this dear little cat’s health deteriorated and a final visit to the vets had to be made. Although not with them very long, her family was sad to lose her as she was such a loving little cat. We also wrote recently about the importance of micro chipping cats but mentioned that, if details of the owner are not recorded or kept up to date, it can cause problems as was evident when Harvey, a stray cat, was handed into our care recently by David at Bridge Vets. He had been taken into the surgery as he was in a dreadful condition and, as well as needing a dental, his coat was so matted it had to be shaved. The concerned family who took him to the Bridge would have offered him a home if his owners could not be found but, unfortunately, a blood test indicated he could be FIV positive and, as they have other cats, this option was ruled out. More blood tests will be taken once he is in better condition. As is routine practice nowadays, he was scanned to check for a micro chip and a chip was located and Grooming Parlour the number taken. Unfortunately, we now have two Full Grooming & challenges as the Hydrobathing chip had not been Available registered and the 01692 501212 indications are that it was purchased in 07817 179228 America.

Westover Heathcare Plan for Pets Quality care made easy, affordable & comprehensive
At Westover Vets we want to make preventative health care easy and affordable, to help you give your pets the best care possible.

Early diagnosis of health problems will help your pet to live a long and healthy life. A pet health plan is not pet insurance. It covers the essential treatments your pet needs throughout life, such as vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and regular health checks. Extra benefits of the plan include discounts on many other products and services at the practice. Available for cats, dogs & rabbits. Speak to one of our team today to find out more about our plan.

therefore trying to identify the company who made the chip as they may be able to provide information as to where and when it was purchased. Although we do not think that in this instance we will have any success, we will do what we can to find the original owner. Harvey is not a young cat and at present does not look his best, but is very friendly and Ziva a lovely light tortie girl, loving. If his next blood test confirms he age 6 years is FIV positive, he will need an indoor home either as the only cat in the household or one with other FIV positive cats.

Spring has Sprung at Animal Magic Dog Club Spring is officially here, the daffodils are in bloom and lambs are appearing in the fields. But did you know that if your dog eats or licks any part of the daffodil – the bulb, plant or flower, they will ingest an alkaloid called Lycorine which can make your dog very poorly indeed.
Other spring plants such as tulips, hyacinths, crocuses and lily of the valley are also toxic and you should seek help from your vet if you think you dog has ingested any of these plants. It is a cruel trick of nature that some of the most beautiful, colorful springtime plants pose a deadly temptation to the four-legged members of your family. The winter term at Animal Magic is almost at an end and we have a fun packed timetable of classes to look forward to during spring.
Animal Magic Dog Club based near North Walsham is a fun, family orientated club offering a wide range of training for puppies, junior and adult dogs. For more information on the club and classes available please call Kathy on 01263 720730 or visit our web site www.animal-magix.co.uk

Big Society Fund – the results
North Norfolk District Council fund helps communities meet their ambitions
It’s been a busy month for North Norfolk District Council’s Big Society Fund, with three separate openings of part-funded projects in the space of a few days.
The Fund announced its latest round of grants last month but there has also been a flurry of final project delivery across North Norfolk with three very different projects officially launched. Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Cabinet Member for Big Society, was asked to officially open a new play area off Gordon Road, Melton Constable, on 19 March.
In June 2015 a Big Society Fund grant of £5,000 was awarded to purchase an outdoor table tennis table and accessible birds nest swing as part of the wider play area project. On the same day, Cllr FitzPatrick also attended
iRewiresiExtra socketsiSecurity Lightingi Ovenclean will transform your oven and iTelephone ExtensionsiSmall Appliance Repairsi
the opening of Holt Pavilion, where a new kitchen, toilets, office and storage with disabled access plus new changing rooms for both players and officials have been created. The Big Society Fund contributed £10,000 in 2013 towards a six-figure target.
And on 10 March, Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, Deputy Leader at North Norfolk District Council, officially launched the North Walsham Good Neighbour Scheme website at an event in No 1 Market Place, North Walsham, home of Arts North Norfolk. In September the scheme was awarded a Big Society Fund grant which enabled the creation of the website to act as another channel for contact from volunteers, requests for assistance and donations, as well as promoting the scheme to a much wider public.
Cllr FitzPatrick said “It’s always very satisfying to consider and agree grant funding applications

“But it’s also incredibly rewarding on a whole other level to see those hard-working groups deliver the end result and view the physical delivery of plans created by the community, for the community.” NNDC's Big Society Fund offers grants of up to £15,000 to voluntary and community organisations based in North Norfolk.
Since the fund started in 2012, over £1,171,208 has been awarded to more than 147 community projects.
If you have an idea or a project that you wish to develop and apply for funding, you are encouraged to speak to your local councillor and get in touch with the Council (via Sonia Shuter tel. 01263 516173, email supporting.communities@north-norfolk.gov.uk) or visit www.northnorfolk.org/bigsocietyfund
Court disqualifies pair for running riding school without licence
North Norfolk District Council wins case after riding establishment kept open despite being refused licence.
Norwich magistrates’ court fined a mother and son £1,000 for operating a riding establishment without a licence.
Rosemary Fabb and son Benjamin Fabb were also disqualified from keeping a riding school for five years.
Cllr Judy Oliver Cabinet member for Licensing said “This is an important outcome for the Council. The disqualification of the defendants for five years and the fines awarded in the case show that these breaches of licensing regulation will not be tolerated and are taken seriously by the courts.”
The court heard that North Norfolk District Council had refused a licence to the Fabbs of Fern Bank, Carr Lane, Roughton in January 2015 due to serious concerns identified by the Veterinary Inspector relating to the health and welfare of the horses. Despite having no licence and the concerns reported to the Fabbs by NNDC, the pair continued to advertise riding lessons on their website, there were eye-witness accounts of riding lessons continuing at the establishment, and a covert surveillance operation organised by NNDC and carried out by an officer from another local authority, resulted in them being given a riding lesson. The prosecution outlined the fact the Fabbs had operated in 2011 without a licence.
Mrs and Mr Fabb’s guilty pleas were taken into account, resulting in a reduction of the fines from £750 to £500 each. They were also ordered to pay £1300 prosecution costs and £50 surcharge. The total for each defendant is £1850.
The magistrates noted a considerable amount of work had gone into establishing the facts and evidence of the case and that Mrs and Mr Fabb knew they needed a licence. They accepted money for riding school services, described by the defendants as donations, but the magistrates saw it as receipt of money. North Walsham Times 492 April 9th 2016

St Nicholas House Prep School and Nursery to grow seeds from space! Pupils at St Nicholas House Prep School and Nursery are preparing to become space biologists and embark on a voyage of discovery by growing seeds that have been into space.
Easter Egg Hunt Time!
Fun was had by all at Swanton Abbott Pre-School during the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Fortunately, the weather was fine. The children were grouped into colour teams to find their matching coloured and numbered egg shaped card. The hunt began!
Running in between the trees, looking under the trim trail, which team would find all 11 egg cards and put them into the correct order! The Easter bunny must have been playing tricks that day because the yellow team could not find the yellow number 4 anywhere! All children received a golden chocolate Easter egg for their efforts.
Afterwards the children and adults enjoyed delicious homemade cakes baked by parents and grandparents.
Swanton Abbott Pre-School is open term time only, Monday to Thursday from 9am to 3pm and Fridays from 9am to 12noon. We currently have spaces for the 2016-2017 school year for children from the age of two years. If you are interested in your child attending our Pre-School, please call Teresa on 01692 538987 to have an informal chat and arrange a time to come and have a look round.
In September, 2kg of rocket seeds were flown to the International Space Station (ISS) on Soyuz 44S where they spent several months in microgravity before returning to Earth in March 2016. The seeds were sent as part of Rocket Science, an educational project launched by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and the UK Space Agency.
St Nicks is one of up to 10,000 schools to receive a packet of 100 seeds from space, which they will grow alongside seeds that have not been to space to measure the differences over seven weeks. Children won’t know which seed packet contains which seeds until all results have been collected by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and analysed by professional biostatisticians. Mr Castle, Headmaster says “We are very excited to be taking part in Rocket Science. This experiment is a fantastic way of teaching our children to think more scientifically and share their findings with the whole community’.
Rocket Science is just one educational project from a programme developed by the UK Space Agency to celebrate British ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s Principia mission to the ISS and inspire young people to look into careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, including horticulture.
For more information on the Rocket Science project or RHS Campaign for School Gardening, please contact the Campaign at schoolgardening@rhs.org.uk.

DOT Therapy
The No 1 Anti aging breakthrough of the decade is available at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic.
*Powerfully reverses 5-10 years of skin aging, wrinkles, sun spots. *Dramatically reduces old acne and trauma related scarring. *Minimises risk of future development of skin cancers.
According to many doctors, this is a skin-resurfacing treatment known as CO2 laser therapy. If you have moderate to severe wrinkles, age spots, melasma or acne scarring, if you wish to improve tone, texture and colour of your skin then this is the treatment to have. It beats any other non CO2 laser skin rejuvenation technique.
Although ‘gold-standard’ conventional CO2 laser resurfacing achieves great results some people do not want to have the procedure repeated because of a longer recovery period.
To avoid the risks of complications and reduce recovery time recently new technology called fractional laser resurfacing has been developed. This truly is a remarkable breakthrough. Here the laser beam is broken up into many small micro beams. which are separated so that when they strike the skin surface small areas of the skin between the beams are left intact. These small areas or bridges of untreated skin promote a rapid recovery and healing with less risk of complications.

Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCAAM, Medical Director and Laser Surgeon of Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic has more than ten years experience with lasers. He has had one to one training from pioneers of this technology in Italy and has reproduced excellent results in his clinic.
Dr Gheyi focuses on providing results oriented, cost effective and safe treatments such as IPL Photofacial™, Laser treatments for skin rejuvenation and thread veins, injectable wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, laser hair removal and laser and non laser cosmetic surgery. In addition to these chemical peels, diamond microdermabrasion, LED skin rejuvenation and acne, rosacea and hyperhidrosis treatments are also available.

The result meant that ahead of their visit to Luton on 19 March the Vikings were fifth, six points behind Thurrock whom they visit

North Walsham Table Tennis all NW Doubles Final on Championship’s Longest Day (The names of players from North Walsham appear in Italics.)
The 52nd version of the North Norfolk Table Tennis Championships proved to be the longest edition with continuous play lasting for an exhausting but exhilarating ten and three quarter hours at North Walsham Sports Centre. Had there not been a couple of withdrawals, there would have been the most participants too but as it was, a record equalling 44 players played out 148 matches (2 more than last year) to contest the 10 events on the 6 tables.
In the top half of the Open Singles draw, Chris Fuller followed up his opening straight sets win against Dennis Elliott with a win in four against Paul Price and a quarter-final win in three against Phil Mole before losing the semi-final in four to reigning champion Robin Thaxter. In the bottom half of the draw, Andy Beane won an entertaining clash of attack versus defence 12-10 in the fifth against Teucer Wilson before being edged out 13-11 in the fourth by Peter Betts in the second round. Like Thaxter, Tom Baldock-Yaxley reached the semifinals without losing a set, his only mini-challenge coming in the quarter-final when he had to save a set-point after being faced with increased loop from Joe Kirkup. In the semi, Tom faced Andy Marsh who had ended the challenge of Betts. Marsh battled back from 6-10 and did have a set-point of his own in the second, however Baldock-Yaxley won in three to set up a repeat of the previous four finals with the outcome the familiar story of a win in four for Thaxter. His 11-8, 9-11, 11-8, 11-6 final victory saw him claim the Open Singles Trophy for an unprecedented fifth straight year while Baldock-Yaxley has now finished as runner-up the last six years.
In the Open Doubles the two quarter-finals in the top half of the draw were both dramatic

contests as the two Phils Mole and Stone recovered from dropping the third set 11-1 against Elliott and Wilson before winning in five while Kirkup and Price led Jack Bramwell and John Welsh by two sets before also going the distance. The semi-final proved a lot simpler for Kirkup and Price who enjoyed a comfortable win in straight. In an all North Walsham final, Kirkup and Price saved three set-points as they won the last five points to level from 7-10 down in the second, but a 7-2 lead in the third helped Baldock-Yaxley and Beane to a win in four – consolation for the two Championship points they had failed to convert a year ago. The Open Doubles Champions also reached the final of the Handicap Doubles following a tight 35-33 semi-final win against Thaxter and Colin Humphries. There they met Chris Marshall and Matt Hudson who had a 7 point start and kept that advantage throughout most of the final to win 35-29.
One of the biggest upsets of the day occurred in the last eight of the First Division Singles as James Lester beat Ian Darricott in four before losing the semi in straight to eventual winner Fuller who had a phenomenal Championships, reaching at least the semis of all seven events he entered and winning all four finals he reached. This included the Handicap Singles although he was pushed by Stone (+1) in the first round; coming through 35-32 while in the final Fuller (+12) beat Thaxter also 35-32. Fuller played an astonishing 27 matches on the day which may have been even more had he not received three walkovers! Two of POOL 1 these came in the Water too cold Veterans where he Too crowded again beat Elliott in Lack of privacy straight in the final.
In the Ladies final Laura Marsh battled back from 6-8 to win the deciding fifth against Carrie Last 11-9.

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER ORCHIDS
With the next Olympic Games being held in Brazil we will be seeing and hearing a lot about this country in the coming months. Most of us will not be lucky enough to travel to South America to enjoy the event first hand or to enjoy the spectacular noise, colour and smells; however, in March, a taste of Brazil came to London. The Princess of Wales Conservatory in Kew Gardens was filled with the exotic flora of the world’s undisputed capital of carnival as the annual Orchids Festival celebrated the incredibly rich biodiversity of the planet’s fifth largest country, Brazil.
This vast country is home to more than 37,000 plant species that grow in six distinct ecological areas. Over 18,000 of these plants are endemic to Brazil and grow nowhere else on earth. The horticultural team at Kew created a stunning display of breath taking beauty that transported
visitors to the tropics. There were orchids suspended from the ceiling and walk through arches bedecked with instantly recognisable equatorial favourites such as Phalaenopsis and Oncidium. Two towering ‘Rainforest Tree’ pillars showcased colourful Anthurium and Bromeliaceae while in the conservatory’s pond, dancing floral figures helped to capture the spirit of Carnival. On a cold and windy March afternoon it was the perfect escape from the winter blues.
It is of course very easy nowadays to buy orchids from a garden centre or supermarket to grow as houseplants. Many people start with the Phalaenopsis orchid also known as the moth orchid, which comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours but all have the same growth habit, which is three to five or more flat fleshy leaves, with one or two flowering stems growing from between them, and each stem can hold from six to over a dozen beautiful blooms.
The thickness of the leaf of an orchid generally indicates the climate it needs - thick fleshy leaved orchids are warm growers from the tropics, whilst orchids with thin and more elongated leaves usually like it on the cooler side. The cymbidium is a good example of cool growing orchids.
NORTH WALSHAM & BRADFIELD FLOWER CLUB
The beginning of the Club's new year was marked on 24 March by a demonstration from Adele Kent, who produced six fabulous floral designs to give us all inspiration for Easter and beyond.
Before the demonstration a cheque for £1000 was presented to Carol Dunnell and Alan Rose, representatives of The Cameo Cafe, by Club President Janet Attew. The money was raised during last year to help support CAMEO Cafe, a new Dementia Support facility based at Furze Hill in North Walsham, which offers the opportunity for those with dementia and carers to enjoy quality time with others over coffee/tea/ lunches with some activities also offered. This year the Flower Club will be supporting two more local causes, Out and About with Friends and North Walsham In Bloom. We raise funds throughout the year but mainly from Open Meetings and our annual Christmas Stall, so public support for these events is much appreciated.
As always, we have a busy and interesting programme of events to look forward to, including two Open Meetings at The Atrium in July and October, a coach trip to see the Wymondham Abbey Flower Festival on 27 May, a meet-up at The Old Vicarage Gardens in East Ruston in August, an Ikebana demonstration in June and a Christmas Lunch. Many of us are also planning exhibits for various events and festivals taking place over the summer months. We are a busy club and would welcome new members who may be interested in joining with a view to taking their hobby to the next level and sharing it with others. Our next Club Meeting at The Catholic Church Hall is on Thursday 28 April when Dulcie Lofting from Kings Lynn will be demonstrating six Spring designs. Refreshments at 2pm for 2.30pm start.
North Walsham Times 492 April 9th 2016
Cool growing orchids will burn in full sun, and do best in a temperature range
of 50 to 65 degrees. The cymbidium actually enjoys being outside for the summer, but make sure it cannot be eaten by pests or absolutely soaked in wet weather.
Where is the best place to keep an orchid? Well for warm growing Phalaenopsis, find a nice well lit window, ideally facing east or west, with some shade from the midday sun, perhaps provided by a net curtain. Make sure that the night temperature does not fall below 55 degrees or the plant will suffer. Water thoroughly about once every seven days in summer and about once every ten days in winter. Always water from the top and don’t let the pot stand in water. Do not overfeed, use a quarter strength solution of something like Tomorite if you do not wish to buy a specific orchid fertiliser.
If looked after properly orchids will live and flower once or twice a year for many years to come. Bob Wilkinson
