Rotary honours local businessman

North Walsham Rotarians and guests enjoyed an excellent Christmas meal at the Scarborough Hill Country Inn Hotel last month.

Beyond doubt, the high point of their evening was a special presentation to local businessman Dennis Lee for his work in Rotary. In making Dennis a Paul Harris Fellow, the Club recognised his achievements to the Club and its work in the community.

Left: Dennis Lee displaying his Paul Harris Fellow’s certificate and wearing his PHF pin.

Dennis, who lives in Mundesley, was born in the Cotswolds and worked in a variety of occupations and locations around the world before starting Broadland Travel, a business based in North Walsham. He joined Rotary in 1998, has chaired and served on a number of club committees and was president in 2006-7.

Below: President John Grier presents the certificate and badge to a delighted Denis Lee

Current president, John Grier spoke warmly of Dennis’ dedication to Rotary and his contribution to the work of the Club, especially as its long-standing treasurer.

The occasion of an award is always special and it is kept secret until the moment of it being presented. Dennis was therefore both surprised and delighted by the presentation, which was applauded as well deserved by all present.

A Paul Harris Fellowship is the highest recognition that a Rotary Club can make to one of its members and bears the name of the founder of Rotary.

BUSY AS ALWAYS – WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING AT ST NICKS?

Looking towards the New Year at St Nicks we had so much to reflect on over December. Our school has been really busy with a number of events both fundraising, sporting and also celebrating our school talent.

Christmas Floristry Event & Christmas Bazaar - supported by Spring Floral Design and The Flying Cockerel (both North Walsham businesses) we raised ÂŁ380 for the Friends of St Nicks. It was well attended and a really fantastic event. One for the calendar next year.

Our Christmas Bazaar was really well attended with numerous craft and food stalls, Santa and his elves and loads of help from The Friends of St Nicks. We were joined by the amazing North Walsham’s People’s Choir. We managed to raise £650.

Nursery Christmas Play - our wonderful nursery children performed their play to a packed audience giving the children a brilliant opportunity

Trustees required, supporting older people in Norfolk

Age UK Norfolk is entering unchartered waters and challenging times, as their services supporting older people become increasingly more in demand. The Norfolk charity is seeking Trustees who are experts in their field - strategic planers and landscape changers who can help drive the organisation forward.

Age UK Norfolk’s Chair of Trustees, Helen Jones, may be in her 60s, but she shows no signs of slowing down. Passionate about older people’s rights, Helen jumped at the chance to be a Trustee for Age UK Norfolk when a vacancy arose.

Helen has had a successful corporate career as the Director of Governance and Company Secretary. She currently works as a management consultant.

Helen enjoys giving something back, lending her business skills to assist the development of the charity. “There is great satisfaction in what we achieve. Trustees provide insight, decision making and guidance on the direction of the charity�.

This year, three years after joining the Board of Trustees, Helen was elected Chair of Trustees.

Helen says, “Age UK Norfolk is often the first port of call for so many older people and their families, who otherwise wouldn’t know who to turn to. I would absolutely recommend volunteering for Age UK Norfolk, there is a real need for the services we provide�.

Age UK Norfolk is recruiting Trustees with skills in areas such as accountancy, health and social care, commissioning and service development, social policy and fundraising. Contact Paula Skelton on 01603 785 235 or email paula.skelton@ageuknorfolk.org.uk for more information.

to encourage their confidence and start them early in their own development.

School Christmas Play - our talented children in the main school performed their school play and as we have so many parents they had to do it twice! What a wonderful opportunity for our parents to see how their children are developing at St Nicks.

Carol Singing, Waitrose in North Walsham - our children had the good fortune to be able to sing carols to shoppers at Waitrose in North Walsham. Another example of our confident pupils and their self-development through the encouragement of the school.

Carol Singing, St Nicholas Church, North Walsham - our pupils were able to perform carols and solos in St Nicholas Church, North Walsham.

We are so grateful that they are allowed to show off their developing confidence and talents.

Holiday Club (Every School Holiday) - St Nicholas House Prep School and Nursery offers a holiday club which costs ÂŁ4.15ph. For children between the ages of two years old to seven years old, there is age appropriate entertainment in our beautiful warm and nurturing environment. There are a variety of Session Times (packed lunch to be supplied by parents). For those planning for February 2017 half term this may be help.

St Nicholas House Nursery – Open Morning Saturday 21 February 10am – 12noon

We want as many people as possible to enjoy the warm, nurturing environment which our children enjoy here at St Nicks. Our nursery starts from 2 years old.

• Outstanding Contribution to a Big Society Funded Project - by an Adult

North Norfolk District Council will also be presenting a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Chairman of the Big Society Fund Panel, said “The Big Society is all about supporting community projects and these awards are all about recognising the exceptional community spirit in our area.

Categories open to public nomination are:

THE GIFT OF SIGHT FROM BRISTON

On Friday 16 December, music lovers filled the Copeman Centre at Briston for the last Briston Organ Show of 2016.

Unlike the rest of the shows during the year, which featured top-name organists and keyboard players from all over the UK and beyond, this one was a home-grown (groan?) effort, and all in aid of charity too.

Local organist entertainer Mick Leary brought along his trusty Hammond organ and Yamaha keyboard, playing all sorts of music, and cracking a few dubious jokes too.

One of his pupils, Paul Perris, also played a selection of music from 'Sunset Boulevard’ on the Hammond and there were several comedy interludes, including a visit to the ‘Briston Naturist Club’, where Paul and Carol Parsons were apparently doing something very naughty behind a wall, which actually turned out to be Paul teaching Carol how to knit a scarf for Christmas. Shame on those of you who thought they were up to something else!

Halfway through the second half, two of the helpers at every show, Ann Fippard and Jean Dawson, decided to try the latest restaurant in Briston (the ‘Bisto Bistro’ whose motto is if you bring it up, bring it back!) and after struggling to get some sense out of the waiter, David Parsons (who managed to make Manuel from ‘Fawlty Towers’ look quite efficient,)

01692 405301

they actually succeeded in getting 'two hot dinners and a bottle of plonk'! The audience roared with laughter at the diner’s antics, and then did so again when Mick and Carol read the local news in the style of the ‘Two Ronnies’, which included the item about the plumber from Little Snoring who accidentally swallowed an immersion heater and a ballcock, and is now said to be comfortable, but having occasional hot flushes!

Because there was no top artist to pay, every penny from ticket sales, the wonderful raffle and funds raised at our stall selling jams, marmalades and greetings cards, and also from plant sales during the year, a truly magnificent sum of £1032 was raised for the amazing Orbis Flying Eye Hospital which not only does eye surgery all over the world, but teaches doctors in far off places to be able to do this work themselves. All the staff and crew on the plane are volunteers, and their latest aircraft was donated by Fedex, who also gave an awful lot of money to help fit the plane out.

You can find out more about this amazing aircraft and dedicated crew and the inspired work they do at

gbr.orbis.org/pages/flying-eye-hospital-uk

Thank you so much to all those who came along to support the show, and those who have donated prizes and cash throughout the year too - it’s great to know that, because of your

generosity, there are thousands of children and adults worldwide who will now have their sight restored - surely the best Christmas present ever!

The next Briston Organ Show will be on Friday 10 February, when the wonderful organist and extremely funny man Tony Stace will be back with us again.

Breaking with tradition Aylsham’s Burns Night Supper to offer a female perspective

With Christmas and New Year celebrations over, there’s the age-old cry “what are we going to do now?”.

In Aylsham, one easy answer is to go to the annual Burns Night Supper, organised by Slow Food Aylsham and Cittaslow Aylsham.

Scheduled for Saturday 28 January, 7.30pm for 8pm, and as usual in the Town Hall, the Supper will feature a traditional menu of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, followed by that delicious Scottish dessert, Cranachan. For non-Haggis lovers there will be the option of homemade Cottage Pie, including versions for vegetarian palates, also made with gluten-free ingredients.

One thing that will break with tradition is the time-honoured “Address to the Haggis”. This is more usually spoken by a man but in the interests of equality, 2017 will see it presented by the lovely Grizelda Tyler who has been busy practising the centuries old Scottish dialect!

Scottish music will feature throughout the evening with, of course, a ‘wee dram’ to toast the Haggis. There will be a bar, and tea and coffee will be served after the meal.

Tickets for the Burns Night Supper cost just £15 and are available from Barnwells Newsagents in the Market Place, Carousel Chocolates in Red Lion Street and the Town Council offices above the Town Hall. You can also book by phoning 07519 361812.

Broadland Chess Club

Chess has been very high profile in the news recently with the exciting World Championships taking place and Magnus Carlson retaining his title for the 2nd time at the tender age of 26.

However people of various ages enjoy playing chess whether as a hobby or at tournament standard.

In the first of an occasional series of player profiles here is Heather Enid Wells’ story in her own words.

"I learned the moves and some simple endgame exercises at school, but the only time I had really played any games was during a pouring wet holiday camp week with my family. My brother and I started it and in no time the cafeteria was filled with chess players. After that I had forgotten about chess until three years ago when a friend talked me into a game. I couldn't remember much from my schooldays, but I instantly knew it had hooked me, and I just had to try to learn it. I started attending the Tuesday afternoon board games session at Norwich Forum Library, and soon found myself with a lot of new friends of all ages and a passion for chess, despite being a very weak player. Paul Badger invited me to join Broadland Chess Club, where again I found friendship and help, and my game began to improve and to grip me even harder. Before I knew it, I was playing in the League, in tournaments and even for the County, in the lowest sections, of course. Chess is a beautiful game that can be enjoyed at any level and I certainly do."

The photograph shows Heather on the Left and her friend Sally Marias at the Glass House.

As we move into 2017 Broadland Bitterns are lying 3rd in the Norfolk County Chess Association league, Division 1, and have reached the semi-finals of the Williamson Cup due to be played in February against Wymondham.

Broadland Chess Club meets at the Kings Head, Coltishall on Monday and Wednesday at 7.30pm. www.facebook.com/broadlandchess.club sites.google.com/site/broadlandchessclub

‘When Britannia Ruled the Airwaves – Celebration of the Sixties’

North Norfolk District Council will host a 1960s Revival Festival on Cromer Pier

in Tides Restaurant at the front of the Pier • A music and video tribute to the 1960s in the Theatre • A display of Gerry Anderson memorabilia featuring Stingray, Thunderbirds, Supercar, Fireball XL 5, Captain Scarlet and more • A display of Beatles’ memorabilia including records, CDs, DVDs, books and more • Mopeds, scooters and motorbikes on the Pier • BBC Radio Norfolk’s Wally Webb complete with Lambretta and Parka coat

From The Beatles through to Thunderbirds, from mini-skirts to mopeds – if you remember the 1960s then come and celebrate in Cromer this year.

The 60s festival will be held on Cromer Pier and along the promenade on St George’s Day - 23 April to mark the decade when Britain was truly leading the way in music, fashion and the arts.

The community event will be hosted on Cromer Pier and Promenade on St George’s Day and feature a display of memorabilia, music and fashion.

Organisers are looking for people to share their memories of Cromer from the 1960s and if you have photographs and stories that you would like to put into the exhibition please contact Cllr Pearce on 07733056067. There will be a video diary on the day for people to share their stories of the sixties.

With a mixture of stalls, displays, exhibitions and music the festival promises to be one which will grab people’s imagination and showcase all that is still Great about Britain.

Cllr Maggie Prior, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, Health and Wellbeing, at North Norfolk District Council said “Our hope is that this community event will be popular and become a regular highlight in the North Norfolk festival calendar. The 1960s showcased all that this country is great at – and what better day to hold it than St George’s Day!” Cllr Nigel Pearce, Ward Member for Suffield Park, Cromer who has championed and promoted the 60s festival for Cromer, said “The 1960s is the decade when Britain led the world in music and fashion; it was a decade of mods, rockers and the mini-skirt.

Cllr Pearce added “If any vintage clothing shops or 60s fashion inspired labels would like to take part by organising a 60s inspired fashion show on the Pier we’d love to hear from them. We also hope that the public will take part by dressing up for the day in 60s gear so that the whole area can celebrate the era when "Britannia ruled the waves"

Rory Holburn, Director of Openwide, which currently manages the Pier for the Council, said "Openwide are delighted to be working with North Norfolk District Council to continue to grow Cromer Pier’s events calendar attracting new and diverse visitors to the region and adding yet more appeal for local residents to delight in.

“From a Pier that used to offer only a short summer season Cromer now has an all year round attraction bringing life and vibrancy to the local economy. This new 60s event has the potential to grow into another full weekend in the North Norfolk diary”.

FREE Underlay

“The Beatles became the global musical force and they still are very relevant and powerful today helping to influence music and social attitudes; they went outside of music and helped to shape today’s society in ways we may not still understand. The 1960s caught the world’s imagination and put Britain at the top, my hope is that this festival does the same for Cromer.”

Offer valid until February 28th 2017 On carpet value £12.99 sqm and over

not in conjunction with any other offer

“All of today’s popular culture owes a debt of gratitude to these pioneers from the 60s era and the hope is that the festival captures just a part of that energy and enthusiasm.”

We want people to join in the day, bringing in their memorabilia – clothes, photographs, and stories with everything related to that magical decade.

This event promises to capture the sights and sounds of the sixties with music on the day provided in the Theatre and by Rock the Lobster, a charitable group for promoting unseen and unheard musical talent.

They will be playing songs from the 60s at the entrance to the Pier.

The event will feature: • A collection of photographs and memorabilia in the Theatre and the bar at the end of the Pier • Public memorabilia and their stories

Pot Roast Pheasant with Cider and Bacon

just the thing to bring a smile back to your face and some warmth to your cockles! Stay wrapped up nice and snug and we’ll see you for dinner from January 21st.

A happy New Year from all of us at the Grove.

After a busy Christmas period we are closed for a few weeks for a lick of paint and some renovation work. At the time of writing there is a large trench spanning the south lawn in preparation for new electricity cable, and the kitchen staff have been doing the spade-work while the restaurant is closed.

They will come back in to a newly decorated kitchen though, so hopefully that will some reward!

AIR CADETS STRIKE

commanding 2110 Sqn, said the cadets all had a great time and it was good to be able to give them a Christmas treat in recognition of their support to the squadron throughout the year.

Cadets from 2110 (North Walsham) Squadron Air Training Corps enjoyed a bowling evening with cadets from Cromer and Broadlands squadrons on last month. The evening was arranged at Strikers, North Walsham, by Warrant Officer Mark Powley from Broadlands Air Cadets.

A friendly competition between the three squadrons was won by North Walsham cadets, winning them a large tin of chocolates. These were soon polished off as a dessert for the burger supper supplied by Strikers.

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station

Later in the month the cadets did a ‘bag pack’ at Sainsbury’s, North Walsham, to help raise funds for these

sorts of activities as well as essential equipment. Most activities cadets take part in are either free to the cadets or heavily subsidised.

North Walsham Air Cadets parade every Monday and Thursday, at the ATC Hut, North Walsham Primary School, Manor Road, North Walsham, NR28 9HG from 7pm till 9.30pm and welcomes all young people aged between 12 and 18 years. They are currently recruiting cadets and adult staff. More information about the RAF Air Cadets can be found at www.raf.mod.uk/aircadets or by visiting the ATC Hut during parade evenings.

Happisburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station volunteers were called into action 11 times in 2016 plus 20 safety interventions, part of the RNLI Respect the Water campaign to reduce the number of deaths from drowning.

The callouts included everything from drowning, yachts in difficulty, unaccompanied inflatable beds/boats, dive boats and dogs in the sea.

The Station would like to wish all our volunteers and supporters a happy and safe New Year.

Your help is needed : If you have any unwanted Christmas presents please drop them in at the Station or Station Shop in the New Year. We can then raise money for lifesaving equipment for the RNLI by using them for our Lifeboat Day tombola, alcohol tombola or raffle this summer.

Thanks for your support! If you need us to collect locally please contact the Station on 01692 583269

North Norfolk Photographic Society

North Norfolk Photographic Society welcomed Sarah Kelman to judge their Print Competition on 7 December.

Sarah had not visited the club before and was given a warm welcome and a difficult job to do!

Sarah comes from Cambridge and is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) and an extraordinarily capable judge. She was able to talk in detail about each of the submitted entry pictures after giving them what seemed to be just a short glance.

Judge, Sarah Kelman ARPS

The Novice section was won by Martyn Gould whose dramatic black and white photograph of The Matterhorn showed that peak rising over a layer of cloud.

‘The Matterhorn’ by Martyn Gould

Winner in the Advanced section was Malcolm English with ‘The Embrace’ - a tender picture of a girl in the arms of a woman crafted in sepia tint with a textured finish.

Meetings of the North Norfolk Photographic Society are normally held on the first and third Wednesdays each month at the Holt Community Centre.

For further Advanced section winner ‘The details please Embrace’ by Malcolm English contact the club Secretary, Judith Wells at secretary.nnps@gmail.com.

Town’s Good Neighbour Scheme helping residents stay residents of North Walsham with the offer of valuable information warm and well this winter and practical help. We will work with other groups who engage with

North Walsham Good Neighbour Scheme has been awarded a grant to support its work in raising awareness of the risks to vulnerable people of the cold and providing practical help in reducing those risks.

Peter Tobitt, the Scheme’s chair, says “We applied to Norfolk Community Foundation and were successful in being awarded £850 towards our campaign. The timing is just right, as the winter is well under way and colder weather is almost certainly yet to come. The “Staying Well This Winter” campaign is additional to our existing work in helping our neighbours in the community, and we needed financial support to reach those most at risk. The grant will help us to contact all

vulnerable people, such as GPs’ surgeries and dementia and carers’ groups. We will also invite other local people to join us in making a difference in their community.”

Local volunteers will distribute room thermometers and be trained to offer advice about the importance of simple devices such as draft excluders and thermal curtains. They will also advise how best to switch to a more cost-effective energy deal or improve insulation and heating systems.

“We know this work is needed” added Peter. “North Walsham has a higher than average incidence of older people and people with limiting long-term illness who are at particular risk in cold weather. We’re hoping the project will result in greater awareness of the health risks from under-heated homes and ways to stay warm, save heating costs and afford a healthy diet. We also aim to build community spirit and a sense of belonging, which is so important for all of us, and especially for those living alone.”

North Walsham Good Neighbour Scheme recently celebrated its first anniversary, marking a busy year helping the town’s residents with everyday but essential tasks, such as lifts to the doctor or shops, practical household tasks and befriending. The Good Neighbour Scheme is managed and delivered by a team of committed, vetted and trained volunteers and extra help is always needed, even more so with the Staying Well This Winter campaign.

If you think the Scheme could help you, or someone you know, or if you would like to help, please contact the Scheme on 01692 558321 or visit the website on www.nwgoodneighbour.org.uk

Theatre celebrates a year of success

A community theatre has shone the spotlight on success both on the stage and on the balance sheet.

Sheringham Little Theatre produced a modest operating profit for the second year running thanks to people visiting its drama, music and cinema mix.

The venue was £8000 in the black in 2016 the annual meeting heard at the weekend.

‘SSAFAgettes’ - a new fund-raising group formed in Mundesley

Following the closure of the Mundesley and District Royal British Legion Women’s Section, the group of ladies wished to continue as a fund-raising organisation so they extended an invitation to the Chairman of Norfolk SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Families Association) Mr. Stuart Fiddler, to come along and outline the role within Norfolk that SSAFA undertakes.

Armed with this information, the ‘SSAFAgettes’ were formed.

We are a group of likeminded ladies wishing to continue with the good work that had been done over the past 85 years, under their new name.

Chairman Richard Ellis said the figures came despite a fall in public sector grant funding which has dropped by 40pc over the past five years.

Theatre chairman Richard Ellis, President Lord Walpole and director Debbie Thompson There was still strong with volunteers and supporters celebrating its support from North Norfolk Arts Award before the annual meeting.

Norfolk District Photo: Richard Batson Council as well as town and county councils without which the theatre could not run, and for which it was very grateful.

But the venue had increased income from other areas, including through corporate sponsors, an improved cinema offering, and its increasingly popular Hub coffee bar which had gone from strength to strength, doubling its income over five years.

Mr Ellis and President Lord Walpole praised the efforts of the theatre’s army of 86 volunteers who were vital to its success. Efforts are ongoing to recruit even more, especially with skills including DIY and fundraising.

We would like to thank all those who have donated, supported and helped in any way for our events over those years and hope you will continue to support our new SSAFAgettes Group

Since its foundation in September 2016, we have organised meetings and held fetes and fairs with the end result of over £4,200 being sent to the Norfolk Branch to be used in Norfolk for those ex service personnel who have fallen on hard times.

We will continue to meet on the third Wednesday of each month in Coronation Hall, Mundesley, where next year’s varied programme will cover outings, speakers, activities, fund raising events and lots more.

If you would like to come along to see what we are all about we meet at 2pm, or give us a call to have a chat 01692 400877.

Theatre director Debbie Thompson said 2017 looked like being equally exciting. It included a community production of Oliver in tribute to theatre supporter Mike Thame who died during the year.

The theatre’s summer drama season would be based on traditional classical repertory productions, including some Noel Coward, and the panto would be the Wizard of Oz.

Ideas were also being sought for fundraising events, helping towards the A Little Bit Bigger appeal for an extension on the flat roof.

Before the meeting, a celebration was held to mark the theatre’s success in this year's Norfolk Arts Awards where it won the EDP People’s Choice accolade for small attractions, against competition from two major Norwich venues the Maddermarket and Arts Centre.

Re-gifting to Leeway

Following the success of last year’s appeal, The Strands charity shop, Church Street, Cromer is once again collecting toiletries to donate to Leeway, the Norfolk Women’s Refuge.

This will help to provide basic essentials for vulnerable women and children, many of whom have had to leave their homes in a hurry and in dangerous circumstances.

Gift sets you may have received for Christmas, which were not to your 14

taste, can now be re-gifted to this very good cause.

Last year, local people were very generous in their support for this project and we know that the toiletries were really appreciated by the women who received them.

Strands will be collecting the items throughout January and February and would be glad of anything you feel able to contribute. Other items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant and sanitary products, would also be welcomed.

Thank you

North Walsham Times 510 January 14th 2017

We Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day!

The children of Millfield Primary School in North Walsham, carried that sentiment throughout their Christmas Challenge day last month.

Kings Lynn Community Runners Santa Dash in-aid of The Norfolk Hospice

On Tuesday 6 December, 30 members of Kings Lynn Community Runners decided to run their own 5km Santa Dash around The Walks in Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lynn, in-aid of The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House. Everyone involved dressed up for the occasion with Santa Suits provided by The Norfolk Hospiceâ&#x20AC;Ś there were even a couple of elves that took part too!

All they needed was snow to round off the day, but settled for the school hall filled with their creative and tantalising treats and gifts to sell.

Each â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worked together to either make something to sell or create a game with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;prizesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be won. Tables were adorned with all kinds of festive treats such as snow mice, Christmas truffles, chocolate covered apples, and a handmade Gingerbread House, which was snapped up within seconds!

Also for sale were handmade Christmas cards, ornamental hand painted tea light jars, Pokemon baubles and Christmas tree gift bags to name but a few.

The children enjoy this special day every year, not only because it is themed around Christmas, but it gives them the opportunity to share ideas and create something magical together.

One child said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the Christmas Challenge Day because it makes me feel so happy and everyone enjoys spending time together.â&#x20AC;?

The house making the most profit will be presented with the Challenge Cup at the end of term.

The Owl and the Star

The children of Worstead Pre-school enjoyed putting on a Nativity Play for their families called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Owl and The Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Children thrilled their parents with their dancing, acting, and singing (including solos) as they retold the tale of the birth of Jesus. Afterwards they were lucky enough to enjoy a Christmas Fayre and a visit from Father Christmas!

If you would like to visit pre-school with a view to your child starting, or put them on our waiting list, please telephone Sue or Paula on 01692 535692 or visit our website for information at www.worsteadpreschool.co.uk

Kings Lynn Community Runners is a group catering for all abilities coached by Linus Marray-Woods. Runners meet on Tuesdays at 7pm at the entrance to The Walks on London Road opposite the library.

The group has twenty to thirty runners of all standards at each session.

Everyone is welcome.

Tony Hatton-Gore, organiser of the dash said â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great fun we all enjoyed running for a good cause. People were so generous in their donations and we are delighted to have raised ÂŁ400 so far.â&#x20AC;?

Jessica Walker, Community Fundraiser at The Norfolk Hospice said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are extremely grateful to Kings Lynn Community Runners for organising their own Santa Dash to raise money for the hospice. Events like this really make a difference to the amount and quality of support we can provide to the local community.â&#x20AC;?

If you are a member of a local club, society or organisation and are interested in supporting The Norfolk Hospice next year please contact Jessica Walker, Community Fundraiser on 01485 601701 or email Jessica.walker@norfolkhospice.org.uk.

How to become a lawyer

Not all lawyers are solicitors. There are 130,000 solicitors and 15,000 barristers, for whom the

To become a barrister this is followed by an academic This is the time of year when many schools are training course (‘BPTC’) and practical training (a ‘Pupillage’). holding careers fairs to help their students Lesser-known, perhaps, is the Legal Executive (or CILEx), who think about the path in life they might wish to works alongside solicitors. As well as law exams, 5 years of qualifying follow next. employment is required. There is a fast-track for graduates. Once There have been law schools in existence since qualified as a Legal Executive, one can take further exams and then the Roman Empire. Many famous people have progress to the LPC to become a solicitor; often this is done part-time, trained as lawyers, and then followed other whilst working in a law office. paths. The House of Commons is full of them; not that that is necessarily From 2016 legal apprenticeships are available and this route takes 5-6 a recommendation! Notable ‘escaped lawyers’ include Gandhi, Nelson years of on and off the job learning, after achieving good ‘A’ levels, and Mandela, the artist Matisse and author Victor Hugo, and the comedians is likely to include a part-time degree.

John Cleese and Bob Mortimer.

The roles of lawyers vary hugely in terms of geography and specialisation. There is a wide spectrum of reasons why for becoming a lawyer; there are those who like people and want to help them and those for whom money is the driver. There is a role for them all.

There are different routes to qualification. It takes 3 years to train as a solicitor, once you are a law graduate, and 4 years if you have a degree in another subject. If you have studied a non-law degree it is important that it is an academic one to show the ability to think analytically. There are no set ‘A’ levels needed to study law at University and no preference for Maths, Languages, sciences, or humanities. Academic ‘A’ levels are necessary. You should study what you enjoy and are good at.

After a law degree, the aspiring-solicitor takes the 1-year full-time Legal Practice Course (“LPC”), followed by a 2-year on-the-job Training Contract with a law firm. With a non-law degree, a 1-year legal conversion course must be taken before the LPC. Part-time options are available but, of course, take longer. There are other longer routes, without a degree, which enable you to become a solicitor; this is far from a soft-option and is becoming more popular with the rising cost of a degree.

Diabetes UK North Norfolk Group

Through the North Norfolk Group's fundraising activities last year we are again able to offer a limited number of FREE support holidays, organised by Diabetes UK, during the summer of 2017.

These will be available for children and young people with diabetes between the ages of 7-10 and 11-17 who live in Norfolk.

The holidays are invaluable for the youngsters, allowing them to gain skills and confidence to help them deal with their diabetes among others of the same age. Some go on holiday having never met anyone else with diabetes before. So, to be able to leave thinking “I’m not different from anyone else” has to make it all worthwhile.

If your child is at all interested, please encourage him/her to contact Jackie or David on 01692 405492 or email diabetes.uk@hotmail.co.uk All contacts will be acknowledged on a first come first served basis.

Whilst we are prepared to fund the holiday, you would be expected to organise travel and provide pocket money.

Details of the holidays for 2017 will be available from us early in the New Year.

Find us at Brentnall House, Vicarage Street, NORTH WALSHAM every Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - 4pm and by phone 5 days a week.

The past three months, October to December, were dominated by higher pressure than normal so subsequently conditions were quite benign.

The summer ran into October and from there until the end of the year, conditions were as predicted although the colder spells were less cold than I thought they would be by a couple of degrees.

The mildness over Christmas will have soon past and we will be back to high pressure and temperatures below normal.

There will, of course, be some milder interludes but it won’t be until we get into March that these will begin to take a hold.

The past two years have been devoid of snow but this winter the chances of snow are much greater.

2016 was quite unsettled until we got to about May but thereafter each month showed improvement resulting in a good summer going 18

North Walsham Library Friends

On 8 December the Friends of North Walsham Library - a very new group - held our first event in North Walsham Market. We distributed membership forms and sold some old books no longer needed by the library.

North Walsham Library is a precious resource for all of us. It's free to join. It's open all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, half day on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's home to the Summer Reading Challenge, to free internet access, to Large Print and Audio Books as well as to Books on Wheels for people who are housebound.

We still have a Mobile Library in North Walsham and in January a new Chatterbooks Group for children is beginning. There are DVDs to hire and free access to subscription sites like Which or Find My Past and much, much more.

"Our library is going strong and serving every part of our community," said County Councillor Eric Seward. "It's one of the busiest libraries in Norfolk already, but we would welcome even more members."

So, if you don't belong to the Library, please come along and join. It will only take you a moment. And if you already belong but haven't visited in a while, come along and see what's appearing on our new books stand.

LET US HELP YOU REALISE A NEW YOU IN THE NEW YEAR. ANTI-AGEING TIPS FROM COLTISHALL CLINIC

Coltishall Clinic has had another great year and we thank all our patients for making us successful. As we move into our 11th year of practising anti-ageing medicine I thought I would share some of my tips with your readers. Recently I attended the annual conference of American Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine. There are lots of cutting edge treatments available now and it really is an exciting time to be an antiageing doctor and also a patient of all that we have available today. My focus is always to research the available treatments and critically appraise these to introduce treatments that work and avoid those that do not.

There are anti-ageing treatments such as IV nutrition, variety of supplements, health foods and even hormones and drugs. A lot of these treatments are as yet unproven and controversial. Unless we know full facts about these we will stay clear.

I can however safely make following non-controversial recommendations for a healthy life. Remember that these are general recommendations and not specific medical advice as we are all unique and not everything would be suitable for everyone!

1] Drink plenty of water and avoid dehydration.

2] Have a predominantly plant based diet and avoid red meatsespecially meats cooked on high heat and charred or blackened meats.

3] Get your vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables such as berries, pomegranate and green tea. Vitamin supplements can help but avoid large doses, as these can be harmful.

4] Exercise. We are designed to move. Regular exercise has numerous health benefits. You do not have to run a marathon. Regular walking can be enough.

5] Sleep- 7-9 hours a night depending upon your age. Sleep deprivation can cause ill health. Our brain and body grow and repair tissues

during sleep and without growth and repair we age quicker.

6] Love your family and friends. People in healthy happy relationships live longer.

7] What about supplements? There are only 2 that are completely non-controversial a] Fish oils EPA and DHA supplements, and

b] Probiotics - there is a big connection between a healthy gut and other important organs and recent studies have shown connection between leaky gut and altered gut flora [healthy bowel bacteria] and risk of diseases such as dementia.

8] Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is a major health hazard. Caloric restriction is a proven method of life extension. Warning - please do not starve yourself.

These tips are not new and most of us know these facts. We all have to make a start somewhere and it is never too late to start. Most of the above can be achieved without any help but losing weight or getting back in shape may need some help. Diet and exercise alone can work, but if not we can offer you our treatments.

We offer medically supervised weight loss programme. Now pronokal system are offering 20% discount on your first order.

We also offer radiofrequency and ultrasound waves to melt the fat from the outside in and also laser liposuction under local anaesthesia If you cannot shift localised deposits of fat around your midsection, love handles, chest, thighs or any other body areas?

Give us a call on 0800 0430737 or log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk for more information. You can also find us on facebook and twitter @antiagedoc.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Like most animal charities, we close our doors for re-homing over the festive period. Introducing a new pet to your home at this busy time is not ideal, as most people, (although not all), have family and friends visiting at this time of the year. Coming from a shelter and settling in a new environment is itself a challenge for a new pet, especially cats.

Although some animals do settle very quickly it is safer and kinder to make the introductions once the celebrations have finished.

During this time the cats and kittens in care receive the same amount of attention as at any other time of the year, made possible by the lovely ladies who foster the cats and those who come to Dilham to clean the pens. It is the one time of the year all the volunteers know that they can enjoy time with family and friends, after cleaning and feeding the cats, often with a few treats added of course.

However, time passes quickly and we welcome a new year and any new challenges we may face. At the time of writing, one kitten and four adult cats have left for new homes, which is encouraging.

We are now involved with getting cats and older kittens neutered at another site.

Unfortunately, the kittens are too old and have not had enough contact with people, to accept coming in to our pens. Arrangements have therefore been made for the cats and

kittens to be trapped and taken to the vets to be neutered. The person who cares for the cats on site has kindly agreed to do this. This gentleman has been travelling some distance each day over the festive period to ensure the cats have been fed.

We do meet some lovely people when faced with these situations. When dealing with feral colonies, or even with stray cats who have had kittens outside, it is important from our point of view to get them in as soon as they are eating, (preferably from six weeks Pudding, 6 years old old), as they need to interact Nice, affectionate cat with people. We do sometimes have kittens come in from these situations which are older but it does take longer to get them to adapt.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham.

Latest round of Big Society Fund grants agreed

More than £72,283 of grants agreed Rugby, Racketball and Squash players of all ages, young Scouts and Air Cadets and users of several village and community halls will have improved facilities thanks to the latest round of Big Society Fund grants agreed by North Norfolk District Council.

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, more than £1.3m has been awarded to 173 community projects.

The panel that agrees the grants met last week and awarded ten grants totalling £72,283. The awards are subject to each group agreeing to formal terms and conditions.

BSF grant awards in this round were to:

• Cromer Lawn Tennis & Squash Association (£11,198.45) towards the refurbishment of the Squash/Racketball courts and improving the shower facilities.

• 2534 (Fakenham) Squadron - Air Training Corps (£12,000) towards the Adventure Training equipment and clothing for cadets taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh

Awards.

• High Kelling Village Hall (£5,000) to connect the Village Hall foul water to the main drainage sewage system.

• Holt Rugby Football Club (£10,000) towards the refurbishing and replacement of the training ground pitches floodlights.

• Holt Town Council (£10,000) towards the purchase and installation of 24 brass plaques and 6 noticeboards for the Holt Heritage Owl Trail.

• Age Concern North Norfolk (£3,896.46) towards the purchase of 10 x Laptops and software (MS Office and internet security licences), laptop cases, mice, mouse mats, memory sticks, printer, print cartridges and paper for the Intergenerational Learning Project.

• 1st Rural Roughton Mill Scout Group (£6,558) to purchase 10 replacement single paned, wooden framed windows for the Mill Tower.

• Sharrington Village Hall (£8,787.18) to replace glass in the village hall windows, purchase new energy efficient lighting and heating, install a new dishwasher and replace the cooker.

North Norfolk Railway Awarded Highly Commended Certificate at National Railway Heritage Awards

North Norfolk Railway attended the National Railway Heritage Awards (NRHA) held in London on 7 December.

• Sutton Village Hall (£2,270.80) to replace the existing not-fit-for-purpose wall mounted

heaters with electric cool touch radiators.

• Wells in Bloom (£2,572.34) to replace 20 worn out tubs and planters situated across Wells-next-the-Sea with 13 larger and more robust planters.

Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Cabinet Member for Big Society, said “I am really encouraged so many communities from all across North Norfolk have come forward with projects seeking support from the Council’s Big Society Fund during this round.

“All of these groups are working incredibly hard to make things happen, to improve their local community, and their passion and dedication is evident.”

The next round of applications closes on 6 February 2017. Eligible applications will be considered by the BSF Grant Panel on 6 March 2017.

A prospectus is available to applicants, and contains comprehensive guidance to support the application process.

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@northnorfolk.gov.uk) or visit www.northnorfolk.org/bigsocietyfund

The railway, which recently received the Best Large attraction award in the EDP Tourism awards, was also entered in the NRHA awards for the new building at Sheringham. This facility houses the Tourist Information office for Sheringham, a new railway shop and new public and station toilets.

The NRHA awards are a national annual event, which involves consideration of many aspects of railway operations and related heritage projects. The particular category relating to the Sheringham project was the Operational Enhancement award, which involved major rail operators such as Virgin Trains and East Midlands Trains.

However, in this elite company, North Norfolk Railway achieved major recognition and was awarded the Highly Commended Certificate, by the Rail Minister, Paul Maynard MP, for the new building which came into operation this summer.

The new facility has been designed to match the other station buildings at Sheringham and has been achieved in a way that compliments the railway and the town itself.

The building, which received a grant from the Coastal Communities Fund and NNDC, was started in October last year. The result is recognised as a credit to the town. The North Norfolk Railway now provides the Tourist Information operation for the town, with extended operations covering November and December and the facility opening again from February half term. The service is provided under contract to NNDC, as are the new toilet facilities available for the public and railway users.

North Norfolk Railway is proud to have achieved recognition for the railway and the region through this award which, being a national competition, highlights the importance of the railway to North Norfolk Tourism.

Goats return to Cromer

North Norfolk District Council moves town’s famous Bagot goats into Happy Valley

Last year NNDC’s eight goats managed the habitat on Cromer’s overgrown cliff, and now the Council are setting them the same task at Happy Valley.

The Bagot billies, that have appeared on TV and in newspapers, have returned to the town and to a new home. The fenced off area in Happy Valley will be grazed by the goats to keep unwanted plants and excessive growth to a minimum.

Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett Cabinet Member for Environmental Services said “We’re so pleased to have the goats 26

back in Cromer. I have been asked by lots of people in town and further afield when the goats will return.

“The goats have proved to be a real draw to the town, a talking point for residents and an added sight on the visitor’s list of great things to see in Cromer. They are also incredible habitat managers. I hope they’ll enjoy their new home and work hard to get it shipshape.”

While a new area of land for the goats was identified and then securely fenced, the Bagots were grazed on land in Kelling.

The Bagot is believed to be Britain’s oldest breed of goat and unlike most other breeds - that favour mountains and uplands - it developed in the English lowlands. Bagots are very hardy and easy to tame.

A UEA law student, Matt is in his second season with the Vikings and relishing the environment commenting, "I'm really enjoying being part of this squad. The coaching support is good with training very focussed on developing both individual and team skills. We are maturing as a team, learning how to win close games and building towards a top four finish".

There will be plenty of action for the Youth teams in the New Year as the cup competitions continue. The Minis also have a full fixture list.

STAR PAVING SERVICES

North Walsham Table Tennis Big win for Gresham’s School A against NWSCA

The top two teams in the Premier Division met for the first time this season as Gresham’s School A’s Jonas Lee, Robin Thaxter and Haken Bennell hosted NWSCA’s Howard Lupton, Andy Beane and Tom Baldock-Yaxley.

An impressive range of attacking shots saw Lee storm to a maximum with no sets dropped as he opened with an 11-7, 11-4, 11-4 win against Lupton, beat Baldock-Yaxley 11-9, 11-4, 16-14 and also edged Beane 12-10 in the third. Thaxter also did not drop a set as he edged Beane 15-13 in the third, beat Baldock-Yaxley 11-9, 11-7, 11-8 and lost only seven points against Lupton. Bennell won a tactical game in four against Beane and beat Lupton in five but lost out to Baldock-Yaxley despite forcing a decider after being two sets down. Lee and Thaxter won the doubles in three against Beane and Baldock-Yaxley to conclude a 9-1 win for Gresham’s A that sees them nine points clear at the top of the table.

Aylsham Hathor’s Ian Potter, Peter Ward and Harley Dyson hosted NWSCB’s Dennis Elliott, Richard Porritt and Werner Zivna. Porritt

picked up a maximum with a trio of close wins in four including a 12-10, 16-14, 7-11, 11-7 defeat of Ward as his stern defence frustrated the attacking game adopted by all his opponents. Trailing Ward by two sets to one, Elliott recovered from 3-7 down in the fourth as he took the next six points on his way to a win in five and he won both his other singles in straight. Ward and Dyson both beat Zivna in four who in turn beat Potter in five with his serves key in the decider. The doubles saw Ward and Dyson beat Elliott and Porritt in five, but NWSCB took the match 7-3. Illness saw NWSCD a man down as Andrew Tuddenham and Philip Stone hosted Backhander’s Teucer Wilson, Whil De Neve and Paul Warner. Stone took a brace as he beat Warner in five after originally being two up and also had a win in straight against De Neve but lost out in three to Wilson. Tuddenham took De Neve the distance but all remaining games were won by the visitors in straight as Backhanders won 8-2.

Dance for Fun

In the First Division a derby saw NWSCE’s Andrew Weston and James and Ben Lester battle NWSCC’s Mary Sawyer, Joel Lodge and Carrie Last. Lodge picked up a brace including a win in four against Ben Lester while Last beat Weston 9-11, 13-11, 10-12, 11-8, 11-4 who in turn beat Sawyer in five after NWSCC’s captain had forced a decider from two down. Ben Lester took a brace, James Lester a maximum and they combined for a doubles win in straight that concluded NWSCE’s 7-3 win. Eric Dolden took the place of Lodge as NWSCC won 10-0 away to Dropshots.

The quarter-finals of the Knockout Cup competitions continued with NWSCB winning a tight tussle away at Gresham’s School B 5-3 in the doubles while NWSCF bowed out of the singles after losing 6-0 to Backhanders.
