Norfolk Nurses to take on coastal trek to help air ambulance save lives next month

Hospital and current nurse at Cromer Hospital, said “Supporting EAAA is very close to our hearts. All of us are ED nurses or ex-ED nurses so we have seen first-hand the benefit EAAA gives to patients who have suffered a lifethreatening incident L to R Louise Langham–Hill, Natasha Pickett, or medical emergency. Clare Johnson and Bev Macfarlane who make Personally, my husband up ‘Four for 24’ and visited the East Anglian was knocked off his Air Ambulance in preparation for their bicycle in an accident 24 kilometre walk. and taken to Photo: EAAA Addenbrooke’s by EAAA, so I am proud to take part in Trek 24 and do my part to raise funds for this vital charity”.

There’s less than one month to go until the East Anglian Air Ambulance’s flagship Trek 24 event.

On Sunday 8 September hundreds of hardy walkers will take on either a 24 mile or 24 kilometre coastal walk along the North Norfolk Coast in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), with both routes finishing at Holkham Hall. The ‘Four for 24’ group is made up of four Norfolk nurses who have all had experience working at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Natasha Pickett, Clare Johnson, Louise Langham-Hill and Bev Macfarlane. This team know first-hand how important the air ambulance is in getting seriously ill or injured patients to them as quickly as possible and are taking on the 24 kilometre walking challenge to support the charity’s mission to expand their service to fly 24 hours a day. Bev MacFarlane, ex ED nurse at the Norfolk and Norwich University

Trek 24 is a brand new fundraising event which has been created as part of the charity’s fundraising drive for EAAA’s Mission 24/7 – to fly their Anglia One helicopter from Norwich 24 hours a day. So far over 200 people are signed up to take part, and tickets for the event can still be purchased until 31 August.

Commercial and Residential

Currently the helicopter flies from Norwich between 7am and 7pm. The charity’s expert doctors and paramedics already work 24/7, with the night shift provided via rapid response vehicle. By flying 24/7, the charity estimate they will be able to attend up to 600 more missions a year then they currently do, flying all over East Anglia, not just in Norfolk.

01692 403005

To do this, EAAA need to raise an additional £1 million a year – on top of the £12 million they already need to keep their helicopters flying and saving lives – and aim to be operational 24/7 by helicopter in 2020 - becoming the first air ambulance charity in the East of England to do so.

www.plummer-electrical.co.uk office@plummer-electrical.co.uk

Leanne Kershaw, EAAA Events Fundraiser, said “It’s vitally important to have a night-time helicopter service in the area, especially in rural Norfolk where it can take so long to get around by car. We’ve designed this event to support our mission 24/7 and have been really impressed with the number of people who have already signed up to take part and will be supporting us next month.

“Seeing teams like these lovely ladies entering is really special and we can’t wait to see a sea of blue EAAA supporters taking over the North Norfolk coastline next month. We hope that passers-by on the day will help to cheer these amazing walkers on!” For more information, go to www.eaaa.org.uk

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station Lifeboat Day and Fete

We had a very successful and exciting day earlier this month at Happisburgh where the weather was very kind to us.

The crew and helpers had an early start to get the site prepared for the 12noon start with a wide range of games, competitions, food and drink as well as educational activities. From the start we had a very large number of visitors partaking in all the activities, enjoying the excellent weather and sitting enjoying the live band throughout the afternoon.

Jaguar simulator for people to climb inside and experience the feelings of being inside a jet fighter. HM Coastguards were also in attendance. People had the opportunity to play on a wide variety of traditional fete games like Splat the Rat, Frog game, crockery smash, welly throwing and coconut shy as well as enjoying a hog roast and BBQ, bar and teas/coffees.

We had the RNLI Community Safety Team giving advice on how to stay safe near water and how to enjoy themselves. Part of this was

the attendance of RNLI Lifeguards giving similar advice. The Ambulance Service First Responders were also teaching visitors how to do CPR as well as giving us First Aid cover. The RAF Neatishead Museum brought their

lifeguards to put on a display of how all three work together to save lives at sea.

The fete drew to an end at 4pm with us raising approximately £7,000 in the four hours, which shows a fantastic effort by all involved. We would like to say a huge thank you to all our volunteers, supporters and visitors for making this such a successful day and look forward to seeing you next year on Sunday 2 August 2020.

Visitors also had an opportunity to meet the crew, find out what it’s like to be part of a lifeboat crew and how to become a volunteer with the RNLI.

At 3.30pm both of Happisburgh’s lifeboats were launched along with the support of RNLI

Griddled peaches and Binham Blue One of the most beautiful features of the Grove is the peach tree by the old red brick wall housing No6 and the downstairs cloakroom. The tree itself is, in a way, a piece of Cromer history; it was given to John and Ann Graveling by Peter and Betty Coman, patrons of the legendary Captain’s Table fish and chip shop (now the Masala Twist) and the Blue Danube, which was behind the church. John and Peter’s parents were dear friends and their sons – and now grandchildren – are also very close, and every year the tree gives out fruit which are just as delicious and sweet as the afternoon teas on the lawns it looks out over.

Please do come up and visit us for afternoon tea (or alfresco dining of course!) and admire the tree in all its glory.

Heat a griddle pan until really hot, add the peaches, cooking for 2-3 mins on each cut side until caramelised. Set aside.

ingredients 4 ripe peaches, stoned and quartered 4 tbsp olive oil 100g rocket (out of the garden if possible) 100g Binham Blue cheese, crumbled 85g prosciutto 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Of course the chefs are less interested in the tree’s history and more in the produce, and

Toss the rocket in 1 tbsp of the olive oil, pile up with the cheese and prosciutto on four plates and top with the peach quarters.

Whisk together the remaining oil and the vinegar, spoon over the salad and serve.

What Do You Do At Weekends?

North Walsham Air Cadets have been having exciting weekends throughout the summer, with more to come.

Recently cadets have not only been flying but have taken part in the Griffin Challenge at RAF Marham, competing against other squadrons in fieldcraft, orienteering a climbing wall etc. They also competed in the Wing Football Tournament and two cadets, Charley Cushion and Corporal Harvey Bailey went to Swanton Morley to train on a flight simulator. In June cadets attended the Armed Forces Day Commemoration at the Atrium. A great display was put on by Cadets Emily Penrose, Sam Honey and Cadet Flight Sergeant Orson Ayers. Sadly, unable to attend in person, Cdt Lenka Hozzova won the Army/Air Cadet essay competition winning a ÂŁ20 Sainsbury’s voucher for her essay on “What is the likely threat facing the UK Armed Forces over the next 5 years?â€?

Cromer Soapbox Derby 2019

Sunday 11 August saw the utterly spectacular return of Norfolk’s Premier soapbox event.

It saw the largest roster of contestants yet - 35 from all over Norfolk, compared to only 25 last year.

1.

Intense is the word. The terrifying 18 inch high ramp intimidated all drivers and was the tragic undoing of many a soapbox on the day.

2. from making a second attempt. His three-wheeledwheelie was brave but doomed.

James Garwood, ex winner from previous years and regular contestant, lost a wheel on his first run. This mere setback could not stop him

The ramp was not the only thing the drivers had to worry about. The chicane caused wobbly manoeuvres and many a close shave with those hazardous haybales.

I must take a moment to note the creative designs of the soapboxes. There were some familiar ones from previous years such as the orange and blue tractor-esque soapbox of contestants 4 and 39.

I certainly didn’t!

and easily one of the fastest in the race. A worthy craft to represent our fair town.

The weather repeatedly threatened to break out into rain throughout the day, but held up well enough to make a pleasant afternoon for all.

6.

Also memorable were soapboxes themed on an ambulance, the Toy Story movies, vintage cars, a mobility scooter, and even a shopping trolley!

Most memorable of all, in my opinion, was the Top Gun inspired Jet Soapbox driven by Tom Taylor. 4. It has to be seen to be believed.

Christopher Daykin, who has been a fixture at all five Cromer Soapbox Derbies since 2015 so far, managed the excellent time of 27 seconds and was only narrowly beaten to the overall prize by the overall winner, Oliver Richardson. 3.

The winner drove a memorable NASA moon-buggy inspired soapbox that was as fast as it was fun to watch. Who would have 5. thought that the vehicle inspired by mooncraft would be the fastest of these particular earthcraft?

However there were shocking and eye-catching new ones as well. Joint winner of the 10-15 years olds, Emily Flowerdew, drove a Cromer Crab inspired soapbox. Novelty aside, this was certainly a well-built craft

Chairman Tony Shipp commented that the crowds were probably the largest yet seen. All who attended have gratitude for generously supporting the most exciting Soapbox Derby yet.

Top brass heading to Norfolk to help hospice appeal An award-winning brass band is heading to a north Norfolk church to play a fundraising concert for a hospice appeal.

Oddfellows Brass will visit North Walsham Parish Church on Saturday 12 October at 7pm to entertain with a varied programme ranging from traditional tunes and film scores to chart toppers and original pieces.

The concert is being organised by the Trafalgar branch of the Oddfellows which is based in the town. It will raise funds for the Priscilla Bacon Lodge appeal for a new hospice, and the parish church. The band, based in Leicestershire, was founded as Unity Brass in 1981. It has risen through the rankings to qualify for the National Brass Band Finals six times and played at London’s Royal Albert Hall. It has also toured Europe and visited Barbados four times, and has a new musical director David Holling appointed this year.

The Oddfellows sponsor the band as it symbolises the enjoyment and friendship the society aims to foster through its social events – as well as providing support and benefit for its members, along with donations to other community charities.

The Trafalgar Branch has around 600 members in an area stretching from north Norfolk to the Waveney Valley. It meets monthly, on the third Tuesday (except July and December) at the St Nicholas Rooms in North Walsham.

Development officer Angie Batson said: “We are thrilled to be hosting the national brass band in North Walsham on their first return since 2012. “As well as giving pleasure to the audience, the concert will raise funds for a Norfolk charity that is seeking to improve end-of-life care through a new £12m hospice, which has brought comfort to many local people.”

Dear Margaret,

I would like to update your readers regarding my stamps for charity. The photo shows that the stamps are still coming in from many places.

The stamps on the table are all German that I bought from auction, the others in the boxes are all various countries which I have purchased, many of which go into the charity bag.

Report from District Councillors

When we last reported to you we wrote about our old Town Hall and North Norfolk District Council's Draft Local Plan. There is news about both of these. But the Council has applied for a large grant for the historic centre of North Walsham and we must tell you about that too.

We have made progress on tidying up the grounds of the Town Hall building. The hedges have been cut, the guttering will be cleaned and the dilapidated portacabins are going to be removed. In September councillors will consider the possible future uses for the site and make a decision about what should happen next. This will be a public decision and we will take into account every expression of interest which has been made.

The Draft Local Plan consultation has received about 850 submissions from throughout the District, about 40 of them on the subject of North Walsham. As district councillors we submitted comments on 15 of the policies contained within the Draft and we have continued to argue that without proper infrastructure we cannot support the proposals for North Walsham. Every comment will be considered in public meetings in the months to come. In addition, some of us will be working on the more detailed development study which must underpin the Council's policies for North Walsham.

As for the grant, we have applied to Historic England in a bid to restore and reinvigorate the heart of our Conservation Area. If we receive a grant, work will concentrate on the Market Place and some of the entrances into it. Many people and groups in North Walsham wrote letters of support for this bid. 300 words is not enough to thank all of them by name, but we are very grateful to every single one of you.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Moby, the lovely grey tabby boy featured last time, has now left us for a new home. We have had several cats and kittens leave recently, which include the kittens that joined us in very poor health, having been discovered living in a wood pile in someone’s garden. Seeing these lovely kittens before they left for their new homes, with bright eyes, shiny coats and looking so fit and well, makes me realise why we became volunteers to help needy cats in our area. We are also delighted that two of our long-term residents have been reserved and will be leaving us shortly. There are still lots of lovely cats and older kittens just waiting for someone to offer them a new home.

Giving a cat a home is a big commitment and should not be taken lightly. We should always take into consideration how long the cat is likely to live (could be over 20 years) and whether you have the resources to ensure it has food, shelter and when necessary, veterinary care throughout its life. Pet Insurance and special arrangements with your vets for covering the cost of routine treatments are worth considering when deciding to give a home to a pet. However, when taking out Pet Insurance please be aware that treatments for existing conditions will not be covered (or may be charged for at a higher rate).

When I gave a home to my own cat two years ago, I was aware that, because she had already had several teeth removed due to gingivitis, this condition would not be covered, so decided against insuring her. Unfortunately for Mylee, this did not solve her problem and she had another dental to remove the rest of her teeth soon after joining us. Although this seemed to help, it did not provide a complete cure, but for the next 18 months we were able to manage the situation with regular visits to the vets for steroid and antibiotic injections. Then, suddenly, we found this treatment was not working and alternative solutions needed to be found. Jo, her lovely vet consulted veterinary dental specialists to see what else could be done as she now had a very sore mouth and we

!!

needed to do something quickly. New treatments were then discussed and we decided to go ahead with these to give her a good quality of life. More about this next time.

As well as those cat loving people hoping to be able to offer help volunteering, who have computer skills, we would also welcome hearing from Lena, one of the older kittens those who enjoy using “Word” still in care to deal with correspondence received by the branch. This would include responding to all letters received and, where appropriate, sending receipts for donations. They could manage the correspondence with our branch members and even encourage new people to become members. Once they gained experience in these areas there would be the option of also responding to emails received via our Cats Protection website. There are so many ways to help and we will advise on more of these in the next article.

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.

Hedgehog Haven

One or two of the earlier hoglets are now big enough to be released. Tom has gone and Henry, Cleo and Bobbie will be next.

Rustle, a hoglet who came in at 140 gms. He also has a case of mites - hogs can be more prone to them if their immune system is low - which cause sore dry hard scabs on the spineless parts of their bodies. After an injection at the vets to deal with the mites themselves, I Pedro have been gently applying baby oil so the scabs have now softened and come away. It will take some time for her body fur to grow back so she looks a little strange at the moment.

Model Engineering Club in need of a new home Can anyone help our small club please?

The North Norfolk Model Engineering Club has been active since 1992. We are a broad range of model engineers who build all sorts of models and currently have a miniature railway at Holt station for steam and battery operated locomotives.

Having been on the site of the North Norfolk Railway for almost 16 years our lease will come to an end early next year due to the NNR wanting to develop its site and extend its museum facilities.

Andrew Munden, General Manager of the North Norfolk Railway said that “We will be very sorry to see the North Norfolk Model Engineering Club leave the station site after all these years, but the long awaited development of the Holt site will soon be underway and this will occupy the site currently used by the miniature railway, that provides rides to our visitors during the summer months. The North Norfolk Railway It has been a fairly manic few weeks at the practice as is often the case through the summer. We have treated plenty of cats and dogs as well as a few more exotic species such as an egg bound iguana and a boa constrictor with an eye problem!

hopes the club will be able to secure new premises that will enable them to remain in the local area to the benefit of all visitors and the town.”

We are looking for a parcel of land about 1.5 to 2 acres, fairly flat that we could fit our operation into, that may be available to rent. If anyone has land available we would be pleased to hear from you.

Email us at northnorfolkmodelengineeringcl@gmail.com or contact us through our Facebook page North Norfolk Model Engineering Club. We are running for public rides during the summer holidays on Sunday and Thursday afternoons and at the 1940s event on 14/15 September. So look forward to seeing you soon.

Honeymoon helps hedgehogs!

Newlyweds Sam and Caroline Clarke from North Walsham took an unconventional honeymoon by doing a sponsored Coast to Coast walk from St Bees in Cumbria to Robins Hood Bay in Yorkshire a total of 192 miles.

Of all of the cases one of the most rewarding has been a Deerhound called Nancy. Having successfully raised a large litter of puppies earlier this year she was in again more recently with signs of a gastrointestinal problem. She presented to us with retching and signs of abdominal distension. Fortunately, her owners are well versed in the problems we can see with deerhounds and other deep chested breeds of dog and brought her in very quickly. X-rays confirmed that she had a bloated stomach, which had also started to twist on itself. This condition, commonly known as bloat, is acutely life-threatening and, unfortunately, is fatal for many patients. Nancy was taken to theatre immediately where her stomach was deflated and surgically attached to her abdominal wall to prevent future problems. We routinely check the other organs during abdominal surgery and Nancy was found to also have a blockage in her small intestine. This comprised of an aggregation of plastic and fur, most likely from grooming and clearing up after her puppies! This was also removed and the intestine carefully closed.

They have raised an amazing £1,377 for Hedgehog Haven. The money is to be used to build a special enclosed area where disabled and blind hedgehogs, who could not survive back in the wild, will be able to live a more natural & fulfilling life safe from harm.

Any monies left will be used for meds and food.

Well Done Sam & Caroline!

Absolute Boiler Replacement

We specialise in boiler replacements and full heating systems. A power flush and magnetic filter are included with each installation.

Following these two major procedures Nancy was slow to recover and it took a number of days for her to regain her appetite and for her stomach and intestines to start working properly again. She was intensively nursed for a week before she was well enough to go home. Her recovery was a testament to the love and persistence of her owners and the nursing care of the vets and nurses who worked with her. Not every patient pulls through when the odds are stacked against them, but it makes the job worthwhile when they do! Toby Morrell MRCVS Westover Vets

Boost for Aylsham Road Speed Limit

The long campaign for a 20 mph speed limit on part of Aylsham Road in North Walsham has taken a major step forward.

Norfolk County Council Highway Engineers have accepted that there can be a 20mph speed limit on the residential part of Aylsham Rd as well as on the adjoining roads of Queensway, Cherry Tree Lane and Princes Street. The funding for the required legal consultation process will come from the developers of the new supported housing scheme that is being built at Queensway. The funding was part of the planning approval for this housing development.

Norfolk County Council in the coming months will be consulting key stakeholders on the new traffic speed reduction proposals as well as placing notices advertising the proposed scheme. Subject to there being support in the

consultation process for the new speed limits, they are expected to be in place sometime next year.

In 2018 improvements to the road surface layout and better signage were carried out by the County Council to improve road safety on the residential part of Aylsham Road. A 20mph speed limit completes the traffic calming measures on this busy road.

North Walsham Norfolk County Cllr Eric Seward who has worked with North Walsham Town Council and residents on a reduced speed limit for traffic on Aylsham Rd said “I am now hugely optimistic that there will be a 20mph speed limit on Aylsham Road. It has been a long process but the end is now in sight�.

Bernie Marfleet of the Aylsham Road SOS (Save our Street) Group said “We are delighted to hear that the 20mph speed limit we have been campaigning for has taken a huge step

NOR NORTH TH NORF NORFOLK OLK REMO REMOVALS VALS AND ST STORAGE ORAGE LTD LTD : 01692 500 501

forward in making Aylsham Road safer for pedestrians especially children on this pavement-less, busy and dangerous stretch of road which is the main route for buses and lorries. The roadside signage sponsored by local hauliers and the Community Shop and the media and publicity campaigns have made drivers more aware of the hazards resulting in lower speeds and more careful driving. We would like to thank local councillors and the Town Council as well as our sponsors for their support and help. This is a significant and welcome move in making our streets safer for all our users. However, with the major housing growth being proposed to the west of the town in the District Council’s Draft Local Plan, it will continue to be a major and growing issue which will need to be addressed with further action.�

Lions’ ‘Message in a Bottle’ could save your life

what is ‘Message in a bottle’ you may ask? Well the Lions’ ‘Message in a Bottle’ is a simple idea that encourages people to keep their basic personal and medical details in a common place where they can easily be found in an emergency.

How does it work? The information is kept in a small plastic bottle. The bottle is kept in the fridge, where the emergency services will expect to find it in the event of being called to your home.

They will know you have a bottle by 2 green cross labels. One is fixed on the inside of the front door or main entrance to your home and the other to the door of the fridge. It’s as simple as that!

if you would like a Free ‘Message in a bottle’ please call 01263 821276 or email brihaz72@gmail.com

Collaboration is the Key Ingredient for the Foodbank

A question we’re often asked is how people access the Foodbank.

We assume that this question comes from a shared concern about fairness and wanting to be assured that it is our fellow citizens in most need who receive our help.

The answer is collaboration. As with so many areas in our lives, we are stronger when we work together with others and so we too build strong alliances with others to ensure the Foodbank works to help people in crisis.

Our alliances include over 100 agencies across North Norfolk who refer people to us through a voucher system. Our partner agencies include Children’s Services, Children’s Centres, Schools and Housing Trusts, to name just a few.

People often ask what defines a crisis and Citizens Advice is very clear about this. Crisis is usually caused by people not having enough money for food, fuel and a place to live. These are the first priorities.

If people are in receipt of enough money to cover these things there is no immediate crisis and it is also important to say that crisis caused by poor budgeting does not give automatic access to the Foodbank. People who do need help with budgeting skills can still be helped by the Citizens Advice who work in partnership with the Social Prescribing Team at NNDC.

We are very conscious of the fact that we cannot offer our services without the donations you give and you expect your gifts of food and money to go to our fellow citizens who need them most. Collectively, we are the stewards of your donations. We work together to ensure that we can continue to offer our services for our fellow citizens who may face crisis in the future.

Probably the place most of us know to go for help is Citizens Advice. This is because they are best placed to help those of us in crisis, always looking for ways to help whilst mindful of doing the right thing for everyone.

The relationship between the Foodbank and Citizens Advice ensures that people can access help with food and fuel during a temporary crisis. Experience shows that up to three

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station

visits to the Foodbank are usually enough help for most people, although understandably there are times when some people need more help.

Thank you everyone for your continuing support. Please visit us at www.cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk or email us at info@cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk

Great hearing

STARTS WITH US

Inflatable Dinghy being blown out to sea off Happisburgh

HM Coastguard contacted Paul Broomfield, Deputy Launching Authority at Happisburgh earlier this month and informed him that an inflatable dinghy with two persons on board was drifting out to sea. He alerted the volunteer crew and the station’s Russell Pickering D/Class lifeboat was soon on the water with Tim Grimmer on helm and Martin Gibbs as crew. No sooner than they were on the water the Coastguard called them and informed them that a kayak had towed the dinghy to the beach - the crew were stood down and returned to the station.

Tim Grimmer said ‘people need to be careful when using any type of inflatable on the beach, the inflatable needs to be tethered securely to the shore, someone needs to be ashore with means of calling for help if anything happens then call 999 and ask for the Coastguard, and don’t forget if your inflatable blows away, even if no one is onboard, please inform the Coastguard of where it is heading plus colour and size’.

Digital Assets on Death

When it comes to digital assets, there is a common misconception that this only relates to assets such as Bitcoin or other online currency, however as there is no definitive definition of what is constitutes a 'digital asset', it could include online banking, images or videos stored on smartphone to presentations and designs.

so what happens to these digital assets and online accounts when we die and what is the value of these digital assets? Some will have little or no value, but some items, in particular photos and videos may have huge sentimental value as they will charter large portions of your life and the lives of your friends and family – you would never want to lose those, would you? Case study: With wedding season upon us, it is standard practice now that the photographer who is hired will take digital photographs, which will be available to the happy couple via a memory stick after a few weeks. It is also not uncommon for a few photographs to be sent to the couple the day after the wedding, which are usually shared on Facebook.

so what would happen if the photographer was to pass away? The photographs are the property of the photographer and if they were to die, it could mean that their executors are unable to access them if they have not been given, or do not know the password to the computer, or email account. If the photographer had been hired for many weddings and the pictures could not be accessed, this could cause a loss to the estate,

not to mention the happy couple may not be as happy with having no photographic memories of their special day. what about the happy couple? A lot of us often agree to the T&Cs without reading them. When it comes to social media accounts it is usually the case that the data on our account is not owned by us, and rather is licenced.

With the case of the happy couple who have shared their wedding pictures online, this means that if they were to pass away, their executors may not have the right to gain access to their social media accounts after they have died - so they have no way to access and store the pictures. Pictures you post to social media sites are more likely than not to then be the property of the site, rather than you. It is important to back up these pictures to a disc or print out hard copies if they are of sentimental value. This way others have easy access to the pictures on your death.

Some social media sites, like Facebook, have activated a 'Facebook Legacy' button so that the account holder can 'will' their account to another person, such as their executor. This is an alternative to sharing your account login details with your executor whilst you are alive, especially when we are continually told not to share passwords.

It should be noted that each social media site has their own process for notifying that someone has passed away, therefore the executor should check the privacy statement/T&Cs of the site. How do you share your passwords whilst protecting your passwords? If you have made a Will through a solicitors firm, they usually offer to store the document in a strong room. In with your Will you can include a document

www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

17

which provides the account login details and passwords for all of your digital assets, such as online bank accounts, Paypal, Netflix and emails. Considering your digital assets when making a will Given that we are living in the digital age and the phenomenon of digital assets is likely to continue, it is good practice when making a Will to have a think about your assets and if any of these are digital assets. As mentioned above, an inventory should be left with your Will which sets out all of the accounts you have, along with the account login details.

We recommend that you review your Will every 5 years, or when you have a life changing event, such as marriage or children. This includes reviewing any document which is held with your Will or incorporated into it, such as a list of your digital assets. Remember to always read the T&Cs when creating or updating your online account! Establishing if you own the digital content or if it is licenced can be the difference between it being able to pass in accordance with your Will or not. A helpful way to remember is that digital records, such as social media accounts, do not pass with your Will or Intestacy, whereas digital property rights and interests, sometimes referred to as intellectual property, do pass. It is extremely important that you receive legal advice when making a Will, particularly when it comes to digital assets as this is a fairly new area when it comes to the law of Wills and Succession. At Clapham & Collinge we have a dedicated team of experts who are able to provide you with all of the necessary information, support and legal advice when making a Will.

The National Coastwatch Institution (otherwise known as National Coastwatch or abbreviated to NCI), this year celebrating its 25th anniversary, is a voluntary organisation set up in 1994 to restore a visual watch along UK shores after many small Coastguard stations closed due to Her Majesty’s Coastguard reorganization. During that year, two fishermen lost their lives off the Cornish coast below a recently closed Coastguard lookout. As a result, in December 1994, local people decided to reopen the lookout and voluntarily continue coastal surveillance. On the 3rd February 1995, NCI Bass Point on the Lizard was officially opened, and NCI was born.

Now one of 54 stations around the coast of England and Wales, NCI Cromer watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast from East Runton Beach to Cromer Pier and 10 nautical miles out to sea carrying out visual surveillance, particularly observing the activities of vulnerable persons and monitoring radio channels, so conducting a listening watch in poor visibility. Watchkeepers are trained to deal with emergencies, offering a variety of skills and experience and full training by NCI ensures that rigorous standards are met. A close liaison exists between NCI and HMCG and other agencies within the Search and Rescue community.

Thanks to the philanthropy of Sir James Dyson, who has graciously accepted an invitation to become the Station’s Honorary Patron, together with significant donations from the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund and the Victory Housing Trust, the Coastwatch members have been able to fund a new modular building to replace the weather-beaten and unsafe unit which had to be removed from the site in February this year on health and safety grounds. A renewed Planning Decision Notice was kindly issued by the NNDC in July after due process. Fabrication work on the new building has commenced.

Whilst technology and sophisticated satellite search and rescue systems used by HMCG are aids to improved safety at sea, a computer cannot spot a distress flare, an overturned boat, a yachtsman or water sports enthusiast in difficulty, or children or adults in trouble whilst swimming. Other vulnerable activities like diving, kite and wind surfing, canoeing or kayaking are made safer with visual surveillance.

Situated on the cliff top in Beach Road, one mile west of the pier which appears in close-up with their high-power optics, Cromer NCI watchkeepers have reported many such incidents to HMCG or other appropriate agency in the 5 years they have been active. Although NCI is an unpaid, uniformed volunteer organisation, it approaches its business in a professional manner, maintaining a duty of care to the vulnerable and the distressed. The pro-active nature of NCI operations enables them to forewarn the Coastguard and other Search and Rescue and emergency services at the earliest opportunity in order to preserve life.

NCI Cromer is now recruiting. Can you spare 3 hours a week; why not become a volunteer watchkeeper. Come and learn the ropes; get to know your port from your starboard and latitude from longitude! No prior maritime experience is necessary. Training is delivered at your own pace. Come and visit us; see what we do. We are currently open every day from 10am until 4pm. You will be most welcome.

Better Broadband programme goals are realised £1,000,000 investment improves connectivity

Residents now enjoy the benefit of increased coverage of high speed broadband since North Norfolk District Council’s £1,000,000 commitment to the Better Broadband initiative in 2012.

In co-ordination with Norfolk County Council and other District councils a collective £15million was invested into increasing the coverage of high speed broadband across the county.

The current fund included a £5.3million take-up rebate from the first Better Broadband contract in 2012 which was allocated to the

District Councils that invested, which in effect created an additional £1.50 for every £1 invested by North Norfolk District Council. At the time of inception, only 11% of North Norfolk properties had access to speeds of 15Mbps and by the end of 2015 that number had increased to 74%.

By the completion of this rollout at the end March 2020, coverage in North Norfolk is expected to have risen to 92%. This has already been surpassed, as of the end June 2019 coverage had reached 95%. Cllr Eric Seward, Deputy Leader of

Summer is here

North Norfolk District Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance, said: “I am delighted that the Council’s significant contribution to the programme is leading to much improved broadband connectivity in North Norfolk. This is important to the local economy as it will provide a resource for businesses and make information and shopping online more accessible to residents. It also places North Norfolk in good stead in keeping face with the broadband revolution.”

The Better Broadband for Norfolk (BBfN) programme aims to make Norfolk an even more attractive place to live and work, by making high speed connection as widely available as possible. This increases learning opportunities, reduces social isolation and enables people to work, shop and bank from home.

13th Norfolk family walk for brain tumor research

At last the sun is shining, we can feel the blessed warmth. The months of winds and rain have gone, the heat is pouring forth. It’s really quite a novelty to feel this warming air, I s’pose we’re just not used to it, though it comes every year. It’s like the winter snows which always paralyse us, We know they will be coming, but it still tends to surprise us. Forget the cold, the rain and snow, now it’s time for fun, There’s so much more that we can do outside in the sun. We all head to the beaches or the nearest pond or lake, To cool our heated bodies so that we don’t burn or bake. We can opt for crazy golf or tennis every day, So many types of outdoor games that we can choose to play. We must make the most of this hot weather whilst it’s here, For once it’s gone, autumn’s song ends summer for the year! Frances Wraight

This popular walk, which is in aid of brain tumour research and support, will take place at Holkham Hall on Sunday 6 October from 10am to 4pm.

There is a choice of distances – one, three, six or 10 miles – to suit all ages and abilities. All are through the beautiful parkland, beside the lake and through the woods where deer can be seen grazing – the ten mile walk goes through Wells-next-the-Sea. There are no hills to climb on any of the walks and dogs on leads are welcome. There is a registration fee of £5 (children free)

Full details of the walk can be found at http://www.astrofund.org.uk/norfolk-family-walk-2019.php

investing most heavily in coaching.

A spokesperson for the NNHC Junior section said “Being a small club we are able to gain really first-hand feedback from parents. This investment in developing our coaches was inspired by them and we realise their aim is for us to provide professional, high quality coaching that supports all players to be as good as they can be. We might very well be the smallest club in Norfolk but I think we are the one
