Supported accommodation scheme for homeless youngsters receives very special visit
The Benjamin Foundation’s Winston Court welcomed some very special visitors on Friday 18 November, as Len and Hazel Funnell from Ferry Marina at Horning joined staff and residents to present a cheque for £10,000 towards the East Anglian charity’s work.
Ferry Marina’s donation brings the total funds raised through Benjamin’s Boating Weekend, which took place in October, to £30,000.
Winston Court has provided supported accommodation to young homeless people in North Walsham for nearly 20 years and is just one of a range of services that The Benjamin Foundation runs to help vulnerable children, young people and families in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Hazel Funnell is a long-term supporter of The Benjamin Foundation through her work with The Horning Friends. Hazel first visited Winston Court several years ago and last month she and Len returned to meet the centre’s staff and the some of the 15 young people who live there, before presenting their cheque.

Continued from front cover... Benjamin’s Boating Weekend saw more than 100 people take to the Norfolk Broads last month in a flotilla provided by Ferry Marina. Local business owners and individuals hired boats for the weekend, with all proceeds being donated to The Benjamin Foundation. £20,000 was raised from the hire of the boats, with the Funnells pledging a further donation of £10,000.
Hazel Funnell commented “Benjamin’s Boating Weekend was the natural culmination of two of my passions - the Norfolk Broads and fundraising for this special charity. I saw we were able to give people the opportunity to explore the Broads whilst raising money, luckily my husband Len agreed with me and Benjamin’s Boating Weekend was born.”
Hazel added “Through my time working with The Benjamin Foundation, I have been able to see the positive affects the charity has on the lives of young people, children and families, and being able to see how much this money helps is the reason Len and I decided to contribute a further £10,000.”
Among the participants treated to a weekend of waterborne fun were some of the young people who benefit from The Benjamin Foundation’s services, including young carer Zoe (not real name), whose mum commented “Zoe has come back from the boat trip a totally different person. Before, Zoe was very low with dark thoughts and a non-social person. She has gone away, just over night, and come back with a whole weight having been lifted. She was given the chance to be a ‘normal’ teenager, meet like-minded people, have a giggle and really re-evaluate things in her life. I cannot thank Bev, Manager of the Young Carers service, and her team enough for providing Zoe with such a great opportunity.”
Wayne Miles, manager of Winston Court, said “A big thank you to Len and Hazel Funnell for their generosity and for appreciating the issues we seek to address. There are thousands of children, young people and families in Norfolk and Suffolk who are struggling. It is thanks to people like Len and Hazel, and the other individuals and businesses that support our work, that we’re able do what we do. Every penny we receive from initiatives like Benjamin’s Boating Weekend goes directly towards helping people right here in our region, through services such as Winston Court.”
The Benjamin Foundation is an East Anglian charity, which every year works with around 2,000 people, providing them with hope, opportunity, stability and independence. For more than 22 years, The Benjamin Foundation has been helping people deal with some of the challenges that life throws at them - from finding affordable childcare or training, to coping with heart-breaking issues such as homelessness, bullying or abuse.

#BlicklingdoesIbiza is returning on Friday 11 August 2017 – so don’t miss out !!
On a Friday in August, earlier this year, Classic Ibiza ensured that one of Norfolk’s best-known beauty spots rivalled the White Island for heat and party anthems, when DJ Goldierocks and the Urban Soul Orchestra (USO) brought some of the biggest dance tracks from the last 20 years to life.
Affordable Drainage Solutions
The music started with a chilled set and, as the sun went down, the vocalists and USO’s dynamic musicians ramped things up as the evening exploded into festive-club mode with accompanying lasers and the crowd sang along and bounced in appreciation. The inaugural event was declared a smash hit by organisers and thousands of revellers from across the region clamoured for its return. Well the date has now been set, so keep Friday 11 August 2017 free and sign up early if you don’t want to miss the fun next year! There are a limited number of early bird tickets available NOW at a reduced price of £30 (£35 thereafter).
It will be the summer’s coolest classical dance party says Lisa Ward of Revival Productions “There’s something really special about the combination of a beautiful National Trust setting and a set that gets absolutely everyone on their feet dancing and singing to some of the biggest club tunes of the last two decades. The crowd were fantastic this year and the performers had a great time too! They cannot wait to return in 2017.”
Classic Ibiza 2017 will be very much along the same lines with the best Ibiza anthems being brought to life by the uber-cool Urban Soul Orchestra, with international DJ Goldierocks mixing an exclusive, crowd-pleasing set. The orchestra will be fronted again by super-talented vocalists who excelled at getting the crowd going, with one change from last year, bringing in Roo Savill who was unable to perform this year as she was on tour. “These guys are at the top of their game and we’re delighted to have them all on board again for 2017. “
At 8pm on Friday 11 August, the Urban Soul Orchestra will start the evening with a fabulous ‘chill-out’ set featuring some of the best iconic Ibiza tracks including, Les Nuits – Nightmare on Wax, Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’ (medley), Groove Armada’s ‘At the River’ and William Orbit’s version of Barber’s Adagio for Strings.
All types of Groundwork at good value prices

During the interval, Goldierocks will take over the stage and fill the Blickling evening air with her creative mix of top Ibiza tunes. Her reputation as an international DJ and broadcaster has seen her establish a celebrity following which includes Madonna, Richard Branson and Jade Jagger, having performed exclusively for them all.
As the sun goes down, the Urban Soul Orchestra return with vocalists that ooze talent and charisma, Jina Burrows, Roo Savill and Maxamillion Barnes-Davy, will bring their own flavour of Ibiza as they join Goldierocks on stage for the second half of the concert; this is when the party really starts.
There will be 5 new tracks in the 2017 playlist and concert-goers will have the opportunity to choose two of them by selecting their favourites from a list of 10 iconic tunes to be revealed later. The programme will once again create a club-atmosphere with a fantastic laser-show cutting through the night sky in sync with the music.
Tracks will take the audience on a white island journey through hugely popular club anthems including Fat Boy Slim’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’; Faithless “Insomnia”, Chase and Status “Blind Faith”, Underworld “Born Slippy” and Swedish House Mafia “Don’t You Worry Child”. Lisa said: “Next year, the crowd will know what to expect so we’re even more excited, we have never received such phenomenal feedback from any event before. In fact, it was such a success that we are taking it to other venues around the country next year – it’s clearly a formula that works.”
So, sign up for your early bird tickets now for an unforgettable party under the stars. The concert is expected to sell-out and you really wouldn’t want to miss it! Gates will open at 6pm and you can bring your own picnic (or order a Carluccio’s special), or buy at one of the top food outlets onsite; car-parking is FREE (both for coaches and cars).
A limited number of early bird tickets are available NOW at a reduced price of £30 (£35 thereafter). For full event details and tickets visit www.classicibiza.co.uk or call the event box office on 01630 674342.
Classic Ibiza is the first of two major music events being staged at the National Trust venue that weekend. “The Great British Prom” will also be returning (previously known as Last Night of the Blickling Proms) and has become a firm favourite in the county calendar, details to be released shortly.

NORTH WALSHAM IN BLOOM
We had lovely weather for our autumn planting this year, which made all the difference to our progress.
The down side for us was that last month when we were doing our maintenance work, we found that some of the lovely little cyclamen we were so pleased with,had succumbed to the dreaded vine weavel which seems to be so prevalent at the moment. As many of the garden insecticides are now banned, this is a very difficult garden pest to deal with. The only sure way is to dig up the plant as soon as you notice it has a problem and destroy the weavels before putting the plant back. However, when you have as many tubs and towers as In Bloom, this is not really an option, so we do the best we can.
Shortly before we began our autumn planting, three of our big beds had a considerable makeover, however for various reasons we ran out of time to complete the revamp of the bed, which is sponsored by Lovewell Blake on the Norwich Road traffic lights, so this will now be completed in the spring.
Fourteen of us had a lovely lunch at the Bluebell on 1 November. We always have a lunch at the end of the two planting sessions each year, when we can all get together and discuss how we felt everything had gone. This year everyone was very pleased with the result, we had several accolades from the public, which is always a good sign that we have got it right.
There were a variety of stalls offering excellent crafts, plants and Christmas merchandise for sale and following the demonstration 97 members and guests enjoyed a full Afternoon Tea.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on 12 December at 2pm in the Registry Office in Kings Arms Street. Everyone is invited to attend and we look forward to seeing some of you there.

Christmas Market at Garden Centre Overstrand not a wash out!
On Sunday 6th November Garden Centre Overstrand, supported by Sheringham based events company Ruth Elizabeth Events, hosted a Christmas Market. Despite the weather, people turned out in their hundreds to stock up on decorations, gifts and festive treats courtesy of the array of local exhibitors at the event. Over 1200 people attended the event, packed with over 20 local exhibitor stalls, along with Radio Norfolk who featured the event on the popular Sunday morning
show, Treasure Quest, where Sophie found the treasure hiding with Thor the Great Grey Owl owned and raised by Norfolk based bird of prey sanctuary, Norfolk Wild Encounters.
The Garden Centre staff worked tirelessly in the week leading up to the event to get everything ready for the day and were on hand throughout the day to answer any queries customers had and to keep down the queue at the tills.
Sam Lowe, Manager at Garden Centre Overstrand, said ‘As the Autumn Market was such a huge success we were really keen to have a repeat event. We are passionate about supporting local businesses and will be looking at delivering more of these events as
we head into 2017’.
Following the success of the recent events at Garden Centre Overstrand, more events are to be announced for 2017.
For more information or to book an exhibitor stand, please contact Ruth Lowe on 07747 161880 or info@ruthelizabethevents.co.uk

Lecal Solicitor urges caution about using Government’s ‘risky’ online legal tool By Fiona Hewitt, Solicitor and Director of Elderly Client Services at Hayes + Storr
Fiona Hewitt, Solicitor and Director of Elderly Client Services at local law firm Hayes + Storr, has joined a number of organisations representing older and vulnerable people to raise serious concerns around the Government’s online tool for creating Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs).
An LPA is a powerful legal document that allows a person to appoint trusted individuals to make important decisions about care and finances on their behalf, in the event of a loss of mental capacity through an accident or illness such as dementia.
In May 2014, the Government’s Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) launched its online LPA tool, which it claims allows people to create the documents without the need for professional advice from a solicitor.
But a new report, published by a coalition of organisations led by national member organisation - Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), warns that anyone creating an LPA without taking specialist legal advice faces a significantly higher risk of being left with an ineffective legal document, incurring additional application fees, and even becoming a victim of fraud or coercion.
The report also raises concerns around the potential of a completely digital system proposed by the OPG, whereby ‘wet signatures’ – the physical signing of the document – would no longer be required.
Fiona Hewitt is a full accredited member of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), and said:
“The prospect of being able to submit an LPA application entirely digitally is extremely concerning, and raises some serious questions around the potential for fraud and financial abuse.”
During a study conducted for the report, participants were invited to create LPAs using the OPG’s online tool and other ‘DIY’ methods. The

study revealed that some of the forms did not accurately express the way in which participants would want their affairs and welfare to be handled in the future and that documents made using DIY methods were more likely to contain elementary mistakes, rendering them ineffective and requiring additional application fees. Following consultation with a solicitor, most participants made significant changes to the permissions of their documents regarding how and by whom their affairs were managed.
June McSparron, a 75-year-old who participated in the study, said: “You’re exposing yourself to a lot of risk by filling this form in on your own. There are so many bits that you can get wrong, and you can easily be pressured into making choices that you’re not entirely comfortable with.”
The number of LPAs being registered has increased steadily since the launch of the online tool, with over half a million registered in 2015/16 alone. The OPG is actively trying to convince more people to apply for LPAs online, having set a target for the service to comprise 30% of all applications from April 2016 to March 2017. In its latest Annual Report, the OPG even admits it is willing to take ‘risks’ in striking a balance between ‘empowering and safeguarding’.
With the OPG already receiving over 1,000 calls to its contact centre every day, the organisations behind the campaign say the Government body is potentially exposing people to unacceptable levels of risk and in doing so may be compromising its ability to safeguard those who are most vulnerable.
Fiona Hewitt said “an LPA is a powerful and important legal document which allows you to pass potentially life-changing decisions about your affairs on to a third party. It’s absolutely right that people should be planning ahead for the future with LPAs, but granting someone this sort of authority over your affairs is an extremely big responsibility for all parties involved. This is a specialist area of the law, and we recommend that anyone considering an LPA goes to a legal expert to ensure they get the right advice, consider all the options, and safeguard themselves for the future.” To download the report ‘The Real Cost of DIY LPAs’ go to: http://www.sfe.legal

Joint appointment signals innovative approach at NNDC
An innovative approach has been adopted by North Norfolk District Council to provide the council with clear leadership and a dynamic structure for the future.
At the full Council meeting on Wednesday 16 November elected Members appointed corporate directors Nick Baker and Steve Blatch as joint Head of Paid Service.
Nick and Steve have worked at the authority for a total of 35 years. They have provided clear leadership and have a deep understanding of the challenges facing the district.
Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council, said “This innovative approach will enable the Council to be bold and decisive as we face future challenges.
“Our focus has always been to deliver an excellent service for our residents and to do that, we need to ensure we get the very best from the talented team of managers and staff we have here.
“I’m absolutely delighted that the Council has
taken this approach and this will not only deliver a dynamic new management style, but it will also help us move forwards. Team work is an essential part of local government and by appointing both Nick and Steve as joint Head of Paid Service, it shows the faith and confidence we have in our existing staff.”
This approach will build on the strengths of the senior officer team, deliver £240,000 annual saving to the Council, whilst ensuring the council can move forward quickly and effectively on an agenda which will continue to be community focussed.
As well as the appointments at Full Council, the Council agreed to fund £500,000 to support the Bacton and Walcott Coastal Management Scheme, agreed the Economic Growth Strategy and Action Plan – to support businesses and attract more people to the area and signed off a Housing Strategy to address the housing and infrastructure needs for people in the area.
Cllr FitzPatrick said “These appointments show the authority is decisive, effective and
is always prepared to adopt new ideas and ways of working. We have a winning team in Nick and Steve and as we look to the future, I’m confident we will manage our services with a theme of continuous development and for the benefit of the people of North Norfolk.”
Both Mr Blatch and Mr Baker have many years of experience of frontline service delivery, with Mr Blatch specialising in planning, economic development, housing and community engagement, and Mr Baker specialising in waste, environmental protection, civil contingencies and contract management.
In a joint statement Mr Blatch and Mr Baker said “We will play to these strengths giving strong technical leadership and resilience. “We are both honoured the Council has appointed us and thank members for their confidence.
“We look forward to working with the Council, partners and local communities to help North Norfolk realise its full potential both economically and socially.”
New waste and recycling information for North Norfolk Christmas, New Year and 2017 wheelie bin collection dates
New waste and recycling calendars will help people across North Norfolk understand how their bin collection dates will be affected by public holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Day and Easter.
Every year North Norfolk District Council’s collection dates over the Christmas period and other public holidays differ slightly, sometimes taking place a day or two earlier or later than expected.
The new calendars show when wheelie bins will be collected over the next 12 months, from this December through to November 2017. Each calendar is specific to the usual day of collection, so people with Monday collections will receive different calendars to those with Tuesday collections and so on.
The calendars show any changes to collections as a result of public holidays by showing the actual collection date highlighted in yellow. If the dates have not changed they will appear in white. On the reverse side it illustrates what can go in the green recycling bin. Calendars will be hung on wheelie bins following emptying. Delivery of the new calendars began last month, taking place on collection day.
Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett Cabinet Member for Environmental Services said “The calendars are being delivered to everyone across the district with a wheelie bin. We hope they will help people organise in advance when to put bins out for collection especially over Bank Holidays. “It’s a really good idea to keep the calendar somewhere safe that you can see easily as
a reminder of collection dates. I always keep mine on the kitchen pinboard so I don’t forget.”
New garden waste calendars are also being delivered across the District and will be left under the garden waste bin lid or posted through residents’ doors if their bin has not been left out. The information can also be seen online at www.northnorfolk.org/ bincollection. Simply enter your postcode and then select your property.

PM and Chancellor must deliver Equality for Mental Health, urge North Norfolk MP and former Health Secretaries
‘Equality The cross-party 4 Mental Health’ campaign, co-founded by North Norfolk MP backing Norman Lamb, has won the of nine Secretaries in calling Health former on the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to address the continuing injustice suffered by people with mental ill health in next week’s Autumn Statement.
The health secretaries, who served under both Labour and the Conservatives, have been joined by seven former health ministers, the former Chief Executive of NHS England, a former Permanent Secretary at the Department of Health, the current chair of the Health Select Committee, and leading mental health charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.
The 'Equality 4 Mental Health' campaign was launched ahead of last year's spending review by Lib Dem MP Norman Lamb, Tory MP Andrew Mitchell and Time to Change Ambassador Alastair Campbell. 250 leaders from across society joined the demand for an end to the historic injustice of discrimination against the mentally ill within the NHS, and the then Chancellor George Osborne recognised the work of the campaign in announcing an extra £600m for mental health services.
However, many of the examples of injustice and discrimination that were identified a year ago are still all-too-evident evident today. Many mental health trusts continue to
experience cuts to their budgets despite the rhetoric of ‘parity of esteem’ from Government and NHS England. Suicide remains the biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. Mental health research receives a disproportionately small amount of public funding, and flagship new treatment standards for people suffering from a first episode of psychosis have not been backed by the necessary resources. In her first speech as Prime Minister, Theresa May promised to fight “burning injustice” in British society, highlighting that there is too often “not enough help to hand” for those who suffer from mental health conditions. She is right, and now has the opportunity to address this.
Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrat spokesperson and former Minister of State for Care and Support, said “It is a stain on our country that people with mental ill health are so often treated as second class citizens. Last year’s joint statement sent a powerful message that this cannot be tolerated, but still we are reminded on a weekly basis how people with mental illness are left without the treatment and support they desperately need.
“Promised investment hasn’t made the difference many expected – especially in services for children and young people, where the majority of mental health problems begin. At a time when the prevalence of mental illness
North Walsham Times 508 December 3rd 2016
seems to be rising, it would be negligent for the Government not to act.
Alastair Campbell, former Director of Communications to Tony Blair and co-founder of Equality 4 Mental Health, said “We welcome the fact that stigma around mental illness is decreasing but are concerned that the services are not there to match the need. The Prime Minister’s expressed commitment to tackling the growing mental health crisis is welcome, and the Autumn Statement is a golden opportunity for her to deliver on this rhetoric.”
Andrew Mitchell, Conservative MP for Sutton Coldfield and former International Development Secretary and Government Chief Whip, said “We are concerned at the new evidence emerging of inequalities in the mental health system based on age, gender, ethnicity and social class. Promised funding for children and young people’s mental health is not getting through to where it is needed in many parts of the country. NHS Digital has also exposed a dramatic increase in mental illness and self-harm among young women in recent years, while people from Black British communities and lower-income households are less likely to receive treatment for common mental disorders. People of all political stripes, who share a belief in the fundamental principle of equality for mental health, must work together to make this ambition a reality.” 19
Lizzie bound for Sri Lanka
Lizzie Jellings from North Walsham is currently studying at university in Nottingham.
In January, Lizzie will be volunteering in Sri Lanka, where she will be teaching English to underprivileged children with the charity Travelteer impact.
At the moment, Lizzie is fundraising for the charity, as the programme is run on money raised. Travelteer impact empowers underdeveloped communities in Sri Lanka to provide long-term support for the advancement of education and well-being. It provides a unique experience for pupils to gain a higher level of English, developing key skills such as speaking, reading and comprehension. Travelteer is structured so that 100% of the money fund raised by volunteers goes directly to the cause.
Lizzie’s target is to raise £700 by 8 January, which is the date she leaves for Sri Lanka.
If anybody would like to support Lizzie, donations can be made through https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Lizzie-Jellings

North Norfolk District Council staff raised £265 last month with a cake auction, a sweepstake and a ‘dress down day’. The fundraising was in aid of BBC Children in Need.
District Council’s ‘dress down day’ raises money for Children in Need
May we take this opportunity to wish everybody who has helped and supported the Club throughout the year and beyond a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
The October meeting was the Club’s annual Pat’s Poem Day, which has become a regular event for the Club. It was extra special this year because the day fell on the annual poetry day for the country. A mixture of poems were read from Kipling to Pam Ayres - some of the poems had been written by a couple of the members.
Next month’s meeting is on Thursday 1 December and will be the Club’s Christmas lunch.
The afternoon opened with the Club’s annual Bake Off. Most members had been busy baking cheese and plain scones, sausage rolls, bread pudding, flapjacks, mince pies, sponges & fruit cakes. The table looked lovely dressed in white linen & lace tray clothes and £60 was raised for Club funds.
NNDC Leader Tom FitzPatrick said “It was great to see everyone taking part and raising money for such a worthy cause.”

Christmas is fun for all the family including our pets! However, Christmas is a busy time for our 24/7 on site emergency service with hidden festive dangers...
Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and Fruit Bowls contain raisins, sultanas or grapes. Delicious for us but in pets these can cause kidney damage. They can also contain alcohol causing signs of intoxication, low blood sugar, blood pressure and temperature. Onions and Garlic can also cause vomiting and diarrhoea and potentially destruction of red blood cells (haemolytic anaemia). Mum’s sage and onion stuffing might taste great but it’s best to avoid giving pets “left overs”.
Chocolate contains theobromine which is toxic to dogs. The amount of theobromine varies with the type of chocolate (dark chocolate contains the highest levels). Depending on the amount and type of chocolate eaten, signs range from vomiting and diarrhoea to wobbliness, seizures and changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmias). It is helpful to tell your vet how much and what type of chocolate was eaten to help determine whether a toxic dose has been reached. Pets, especially dogs, have an exceptional sense of smell and often hunt out Bones, Foil or String from bins. Bones are often brittle and splinter easily causing blockages or tears within the oesophagus and intestine, whilst foil and string cause obstructions within the stomach and intestine. Many foods also contain high levels of fat increasing the risk of pancreatitis.
Around the house Tinsel and Ornaments are particularly attractive. If eaten these often cause blockages within the intestines. Candles and Fairy Lights are appealing to curious pets but can result in electrocution or burns if chewed so place them out of reach of naughty paws! Christmas trees are also potentially toxic as pine needles cause irritation of the mouth, vomiting, diarrhoea and weakness. Naughty puppies and kittens can also injure themselves climbing Christmas trees so it is advisable to have a barrier to prevent access and keen supervision!
Lilies from festive bouquets can cause kidney failure in cats. If your cat comes into contact with lilies and the pollen sticks to their fur immediately place a buster collar or t-shirt to prevent them licking and contact your vet. Holly, Mistletoe and Poinsettias are also toxic causing vomiting, diarrhoea and depression. Mistletoe can also cause collapse and changes in heart rate whilst Poinsettia sap causes blistering of the mouth and stomach. We recommend all plants are kept well out of reach of inquisitive pets!
These problems are treatable if caught early enough so if you have concerns our 24/7 on site emergency service is available for our clients throughout Christmas and New Year on our normal number (01692 407126). Staff from Toll Barn Vets wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
It was lovely to see so many of our friends and fellow cat lovers at our sale on 19 November where we raised an amazing £1765 for the cats, a new record for this event. We would like to thank all our volunteers for their hard work on the day, and our supporters, who made the day such a success. A special thank you to Bren, Jenny and Andrea for all the lovely items they make for us to sell. They are such talented ladies.
We have mentioned on several occasions the work we do with feral colonies and how difficult it is to ensure the cats and kittens are caught and either neutered or brought into care for re-homing, providing they are not too old. The colony we have been dealing with at Thwaite has been particularly challenging. We originally became involved when approached by another local charity, which had been trying to catch the cats. Because we have always had a very good relationship with the charity we agreed to take this task over from them. The original lady involved in trapping the cats had given up due to health problems. We were then approached by a concerned neighbour who was worried about the number of kittens being born. Despite working, she agreed to help with the trapping of kittens which needed to come into care and of cats to be neutered.

unfortunately been kept from our friend. The kittens are now too old to come into care, which will add to our neutering bill and denies the kittens the opportunity to have a new home. Sadly, two kittens from another litter have died and this is possibly because they were quite small and could be due to interbreeding. Apart from the kittens which are now too old, there are probably another two females cats and one male which need to be caught and neutered. This has impacted on the help we have been able to Ditty Dotty and Merlin offer other cats and we just hope all kittens enjoying the view from will be caught and the adults neutered soon. their new pen If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher).

North Norfolk District Council hosts exhibition of silver and gemstone jewellery
New Exquisite Crystals collection showcases locally hand-crafted items North Norfolk District Council’s public art gallery welcomes local artist Bev Harding with a collection of jewellery.
Cromer resident Bev has been making costume jewellery and gifts for over 25 years.
This intricate collection demonstrates a variety of craft techniques, many of which have been self-taught. Bev’s jewellery showcases gemstones and pearls, as well as interesting reclaimed and recycled elements, some beachcombed around Norfolk’s coast.
Bev said “My work really reflects where I live and where I come from; the reclaimed items I use come direct from my environment, while the beauty that can be created from silver and gemstones mirrors seas and skies and the light we experience here in Norfolk.
“I’m so pleased to be able to exhibit at the District Council.” Bev’s exhibits will be for sale and she is available to make bespoke commissions in the run-up to Christmas.
Cllr Becky Palmer Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture said “It’s great to be able to offer craftspeople and artists a space to exhibit their works. This is a lovely collection of handmade jewellery and we are pleased to be able to host them.”

Sheringham Christmas Tree Festival St. Andrew’s Methodist Church Sheringham extends a warm invitation to enjoy the atmosphere in your build up to Christmas by visiting Sheringham’s seventh Charity Christmas Tree Festival which will take place from Thursday 8 December to Sunday 11 December.
Parish Church and raised over £5,000 for the 41 charities that took part. This year around 30 local and national charities will be represented. Each charity will decorate its tree in an imaginative way that will uniquely portray the charities aims. There will also be a prayer tree where visitors will be able to write a prayer and display it on the tree
The innovative displays will be supported by a background of seasonal music and there will also be a variety of stalls where last minute Christmas gifts can be bought!
Light refreshments will be available
Organised jointly by St Peter’s Parish Church and St. Andrew’s Methodist Church, the festival is a major event for Sheringham and provides a spectacular spiritual platform for charities to raise funds by attracting donations from visitors.
Last year’s event was hosted by St. Peters
SKIP AND POPPYLAND BLOOMING AGAIN!
Cromer-based author Keith Skipper and Poppyland Publishing’s Peter Stibbons have joined forces for the third year in a row to provide another colourful addition to the local literary scene. Keith’s A Rum Ole Norfolk Year, his 40th volume with that distinctive local flavour, is crammed with notable nuggets mined from over 30 years of keeping a comprehensive daily diary. He says the general idea behind these month-by-month selections is “to salute the downright silly, acknowledge the outstanding achievers, bless those able to brighten the bleakest of days and congratulate all with a penchant for attracting publicity in the name of home-grown posterity.” There are a few recurring themes, such as loyal service to local communities and the changing face of Norfolk life, but all those years of eavesdropping and jotting around his native patch tend to emphasise a natural passion for the mildly unbecoming or markedly unusual.
North Walsham Times 508 December 3rd 2016
throughout the festival, including soup and rolls (served from 12.30pm – 2pm on weekdays approximately). There will also be a children`s activity area for our younger visitors.
The festival will be open Thursday to Saturday 10.30am – 5pm and Sunday 2pm – 5pm. On the final evening of the festival, Sunday 11 December at 5.30pm. the Festival will conclude with a Christmas Tree Service led by Rev. Sharon Willlimott. Everyone is welcome.
Admission to the festival is free with donations welcomed to support the charities. A warm welcome awaits so come along, support your favourite charity and share in the love of the Holy Child, Jesus Christ in this special community event. “When I started to keep a full-page daily diary just as 1984 dawned, I knew there must be room for smaller local items to spice up my pages and underline Norfolk’s well-deserved reputation for dewin’ diffrunt and then confusing the rest of the world even more by chuckling at the results.” Peter Stibbons adds “This follow-up to Norfolk in a Nutshell and Keith Skipper’s Norfolk Scrapbook looks like completing a successful hat-trick for our cheerful partnership of recent times. Skip has a prolific pen and it’s always fun to combine our efforts in the name of homely entertainment.” A Rum Ole Norfolk Year costs £9.95. Skip will be signing copies at the Jarrold book department in the Cromer store on Saturday, 10 December between 11am and 1pm.

Get ready for Christmas with our treatment combinations Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic is fully equipped with 16 state-of-the-art lasers and experience of helping thousands of people.
Dermal fillers have enjoyed tremendous increase in popularity. Unfortunately, success has brought lots of untested products, as well as untrained or poorly trained operators. Recent studies have shown an alarming rise in side effects with some studies showing as much as 25% complication rates.
Complications that we are particularly worried about are infections, direct injection into an artery which can cause catastrophic effects, Venous compression and more worryingly some cases of chronic pain. Permanent fillers are more of a problem because they do not stay confined but they can spread into the tissue planes, which may make surgery necessary if expression by needle fails.
Dr Sanjay gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCAAM is medical director and laser surgeon at the Coltishall Cosmetic clinic and has been injecting safe dermal fillers for over 11 years with outstanding results. So, what are his tips for safe treatments and to minimise risk of complications.

1. Choose your practitioner wisely - what is their background? Do they have a medical qualification? Have they had any training in dermatology or surgery? How many treatments have they done and can they show you their results? This is very
important because the person administering these treatments should not only be excellent at treatments, he or she should be able to manage complications should things go wrong. There is no shortage of people from different medical and even non-medical backgrounds offering these treatments. Remember you get what you pay for and cheapest is often not the best! 2. Choose your clinic wisely - do they offer a variety of treatments or do they have only one or two treatments that they can offer? Are they trying to fit you to a treatment rather than offering you most suitable treatment from a range of different available options? Do they provide information on side effects? No medical treatment is risk free. You have to know possible side effects and then make an informed choice. 3. Choose your product wisely - the most important thing is that that a reputable product with a proven safety track record is used and that an experienced cosmetic medical practitioner administers it. Recently there has been a surge of new fillers coming into the market but a lot of these have far less research. The latest treatment is not necessarily the greatest. You do not want to be a guinea pig for an untested product. Choose that safest product and avoid permanent fillers.
Why treatment combinations? A number of changes happen to us as we age. We have volume loss, muscle over activity, sun damage and loss of elasticity. No single treatment can address all of these issues. Treatment combinations provide the best and natural results. We have invested in top of the range comprehensive technology and have the experience of using it effectively. We have designed these packages for reversing age related changes in one appointment. A kind of mini extreme makeover!

Norwich City FC Review by Joel Lodge, our Football Correspondent
As of writing this article, Norwich, seem to find themselves in a difficult situation and are spiralling down in form.
After 5 consecutive losses, Alex Neil is in a precarious position after losing 2-1 away to QPR. This has left Norwich drifting further away from the automatic places as Newcastle and Brighton have continued with their good form as Norwich start to drastically decline.
One of the key issues that has been highlighted over the past few weeks is the defensive woes of Norwich City, leaking in the second worst amount of goals in the league (just behind
Rotherham).
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results, Alex Neil continues to play the same defenders making mistakes such as Russell Martin; we have the same defence as we did when we were in the Premier League 4 seasons ago with the only changes now being Pinto and Klose.
This is not Neil’s fault, clearly, but the recruitment team and the board need to have a clear vision of where they want to be as we don’t want to be drifting between the
Championship and Premier League.
I'm personally a fan of Alex Neil, however I think a change of personnel is needed, but who to replace him with?
My personal option would be Sam Allardyce, as long as it was feasible following the allegations with his involvement with third party ownership of players.
Allardyce has a proven track record from managing teams like Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham and I believe he would get us out of the division.
