Concert at St Nicholas Church, North Walsham

The choir of Saint Nicholas, North Walsham, will be performing one of the most popular of all major choral works, the Requiem by Gabriel Faure, the Requiem on Saturday 27 September at St Nicholas, starting at 7pm. This work is very appropriate as a commemoration of the dead, and features the haunting solo movement ‘Pie Jesu.’ The work will be followed in the second half by a selection of music, both familiar and new, that has links to the theme of ‘remembrance.’

Concert at St Nicholas Church, North Walsham

During the second half of the performance, the names of the 99 soldiers from North Walsham who died in the First World War will be read aloud. Admission will be £5, with the monies to be split between the fund for the church tower, and funding future choir tours.

They regularly sing at venues around the county, and have just completed a successful tour to St Edmundsbury Cathedral. The Requiem will be the first extended concert work they have performed in many years, and represent a rare opportunity to hear the work performed by an all male choir in a concert performance .

2014 North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival

The 2014 North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival, one of the region’s premier local produce events will take place at Holkham Hall on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 August. This flagship “foodie” event kicks off the countywide Norfolk Food and Drink Festival 2014 which takes place throughout September and early October.

Now in its fifth year, the Festival will take place, as usual, at Holkham Hall, by kind permission of Viscount and Viscountess Coke. With an impressive 10,000 visitors last year the organisers have signed up over 60 stall holders to gather for the two day food and drink celebration.

The range of produce on sale will include real ales, fresh meat and poultry, North Norfolk seafood, vegetables, local honey and saffron, cakes, pies, puddings and tarts, fruit, ice cream, cheeses, fresh juices and much more.

Visitors will also benefit from all of the things to see and do at Holkham Hall. Following its successful introduction in 2012 the festival will continue to offer a food-court area providing everyone with outstanding local food and drink for consumption on site. The seven concessions will include Arthur Howell’s hog roast, sausages by award winning Fruit Pig Co. and ale

by Jo C’s brewery to name but three. Children’s activities include face painting, cooking up “boggle food” with BeWilderwood on stage plus Holkham’s Woodland Play Area.

All weekend, in its trade-mark octagonal tent, the hugely popular Cookery Theatre will see demonstrations from this year’s wonderfully eclectic lineup. Full details of the cookery theatre timetable will be published in August.

Led as usual by Norfolk farmhouse food guru Mary Kemp, this year’s theatre will inspire and entertain audiences of all ages.

For the fourth year running the organisers are delighted to announce that Kettle Foods, producer of KETTLE® Chips, is pleased to be the headline sponsor of the North Norfolk Food & Drink Festival. In addition, Kettle Foods is once again offering a business mentoring prize of £1000 to one of the attending stall holders. Chairman, Chris Coubrough of The Flying Kiwi Inns said “we are delighted to be working in partnership again with this nationally recognised and respected local company”.

Dominic Lowe, Kettle Foods MD says "The reason we enjoy the North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival so much is that it exists to support businesses very similar to how Kettle Foods was 25 years ago: small, entrepreneurial, trying something really different but passionate about the quality of the food they make. As such the Festival is a reminder of our roots and we are very proud to sponsor this event and recognise another up and coming business through our mentoring scheme.”

The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival is organised by a Festival Committee. Gates open at 10am and close at 5pm each day. Entry to the festival is free but a car park charge of £2.50 applies (redeemable on purchases of £10 or more in the gift shop at Holkham Hall).

thoughts have turned to Christmas! We are in the middle of planning our Christmas Menus, Party Nights and New Years Eve.

We aim to have all the details finalised so that we can print the menus and start the promotion in the next week or so. I know to many of you this sounds crazy as we still have hopefully weeks of good weather ahead of us but in order to be prepared we need to plane well in advance.

Last year our Christmas Party Nights booked up very quickly so my advice is as soon as you can request a menu and booking form and make certain that you get the date you want. Enjoy the rest of the summer!!!

Cromer Pier Council announces refurbishment programme to tidal surge hit assets A programme to refurbish Cromer Pier’s box office, gift shop and the restaurant following the significant damaged caused by December’s tidal surge will begin in early September 2014.

from far greater damage.

The iconic, North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) owned pier had already been the subject of extensive, £1.4million renovation and repair in the 18 months before the surge struck -work which potentially saved the structure

The repair work will begin in early September to minimise disruption to visitors during the peak summer period and is expected to take eight weeks to complete. The pier will remain accessible for the duration of the works.

Work has been completed since the surge to make significant structural repairs to the areas underneath the box office, gift shop and the restaurant which will now allow for a full refurbishment programme of both facilities. These areas felt the full force of the storm as waves hit the sea wall and were propelled up underneath the structure.

In association with www.northwalshamdeals.co.uk

Glyn Williams, NNDC Cabinet Member for Leisure and Cultural Services, said “The pier is a vital asset, not only for Cromer but for the whole of the North Norfolk area and helps to bring in visitors from all over the country.

“The significant capital investment in the pier structure helped to ensure that it survived the storm surge and all efforts are now focused on refurbishing those structures that are still out of action as quickly as possible while being mindful of the summer holiday season.”

HAPPISBURGH LIFEBOAT STATION Happisburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station volunteers had a busy 48hours at the beginning of the month.

It all started on 3 August with the Annual Lifeboat Day and Fete, commencing with an early start to get everything set-up for the day ahead and with the sun shining all was going well.

At 12noon the crowds arrived and all were having fun when at 12.30pm the crew were called into action to go to a May Day call from the dive-boat, ‘Thetford Diver’, which was sinking with six persons on board.

Happisburgh’s Atlantic ‘Douglas Paley’ with Tony Phenix at the helm and Charlotte Siely and Ross Scannell as crew were soon on their way, much to the delight of the large crowd on the beach.

Due to the large number of possible casualties the Station’s relief ‘D’ class was also launched as backup with Tim Grimmer at the helm and Jake Munday and Dave Cato as crew.

The Atlantic arrived on scene, which was off Winterton, at the same time as Caister Lifeboat, which picked up the divers and then transferred two onto Happisburgh’s Atlantic Lifeboat to take back to

Sea Palling.

En route to Sea Palling one of the divers became unwell so he was treated by the crew before being transferred to the ‘D’ class which then landed on the beach to enable him to be checked over by ambulance crew.

Both boats then returned to Happisburgh to carry on with Lifeboat Day and Fete - all that was left for the crew and volunteers to do was to clear up.

The afternoon was very well attended, even though this was the first time the event had been held at Cart Gap. We would like to thank every-

SEE ALL 70 BOATS TOGETHER FOR ONE TIME ONLY – AND BUY ONE…OR TWO!

North Norfolk has been awash with 70 bootiful boats since Easter as part of the Cromer and Sheringham Crab & Lobster Festival’s annual art trail and you will soon have the chance to own one!

For one day only on Sunday 24 August they will all be on show together before being auctioned off to the highest bidder, raising funds for local charities. On the same day the Festival will also be hosting their annual World Pier Crabbing Championships from 11am – 2pm as well as hosting an array of local market stalls along the promenade from 10am.

‘Douglas Paley’ then joined Happisburgh’s relief ‘D’ class and Mundesley Lifeboat in a one hour exercise with the RAF Air Sea Rescue helicopter from Wattisham, practicing winching people on and off the Lifeboats. Happisburgh was able to put seven of its crew through this training, some of them for the first time. All went very well and both the Lifeboat crews and helicopter crew gained valuable experience.

The above illustrates the commitment that is shown by the RNLI volunteers having to deal with call-outs, training and also raising money to support their role of saving lives at sea.

has proved the most popular yet. We hope that locals and visitors alike will spend the day with us in Cromer on 24 August and take part in the Crabbing Championships before attending and bidding at the Auction.”

For the third year running the festival will run its Community Grant Scheme for local charities in the Cromer and Sheringham areas to apply to for the funds raised at auction.

Festival secretary Kate Royall said “the Festival thought it vital to support charities local to Cromer and Sheringham which provide exceptional support to the local community. Over the past three years the Crab & Lobster Festival has donated over £29,000 to local charities. The grant scheme means we can continue to support local good causes throughout the two towns”.

In 2015 the Festival will run 15-17 May. Sponsorship opportunities are now available. Please contact the festival secretary on 07775 337201 or email enquiries@crabandlobsterfestival.co.uk

From Cromer to Sheringham and all the way in between the boats have been on the trail in open spaces and shop windows before they all go into the Grand Charity Auction on Sunday 24 August at 2pm.

The auction will be hosted by auctioneer Martyn Fox on Cromer Pier Forecourt. Martyn has helped raise over £29,000 on behalf of the Festival through the previous four Festival charity auctions. The auction will be the first and only time people will have a chance to see all the boats displayed together - they will be on view from 11am on the day of the auction.

The 70 lots on sale, sponsored by local businesses and tricolated by local people, include boats decorated by Foot Practitioner artists Gita Dickenson, Paul Darley and Samuel TCFCPa, RGN Thomas, as well as schools and community groups.

Routine Nail Care The trail has received wondrous attention from locals Hard Skin Removal and visitors alike who have taken on the challenge of the trail since it began.

He continued “hundreds of visitors and local families have followed the Festival Art Trail through both Staithe Lodge towns, the auction is your Swafield chance to bid for your North Walsham Established 30 years Norfolk NR28 0RQ favourite and is the climax Telephone: to this year’s festival which Ample Free Parking

one who attended and let them know we raised almost £5,000, of which £1,000 was donated by Mrs Patricia Fox from Cambridgeshire, who has been a long-term benefactor to the Station.

On Monday 4 August the Station’s Atlantic Lifeboat ‘Douglas Paley’ was called into action again, this time to a 12-metre steel hulled yacht off Happisburgh, which had engine problems and was losing its electrics.

Cubitt Siely was at the helm with Jake Munday and Charlotte Siely as crew. They were soon alongside the yacht which, even though it had its sails up, was making only a little headway. It was taken in tow by Happisburgh Lifeboat, heading for Great Yarmouth, until the arrival of Gorleston Lifeboat, which then took over the tow.

Obituary - Alan Woods 19.2.1949 - 15.7.2014 Many of our readers will remember the previous publisher, Alan Woods who retired in April 2012 when the papers were taken over by Eric Hayton of Rose Villa Publications, writes Margaret White.

Alan sadly passed away last month.

I started working with Alan in 2002. At that time the papers needed a bit of a makeover and together we embarked on a journey which was fun, interesting and hard work, especially in the early days!

Alan had been involved with the papers long before I came on the scene and his love for them and commitment to them never changed, right up to his retirement when he was pleased to see them continuing through the new publisher. It was nothing for him to work through the night on a deadline day to get them ready to go to the printers the next day to ensure everybody’s schedule was met.

A few years down the line Alan’s wife Linda and daughter Sharon joined our little team and they all became friends, not just work colleagues.

Alan had a dry sense of humour and loved nothing more than a ‘wind up’.

Luckily after a while I was able to realise (most of the time!) when he was indulging in this - but not before he caught me out on several occasions! It was very difficult to catch him out in return but I do remember one such occasion when I emailed him my resignation with immediate effect at 8am on

This qualifica-

a busy deadline day. I then avoided his telephone calls and emails until 12 noon when it gave me the greatest pleasure to answer his umpteenth phone call with the words ‘April Fool’ – he had totally forgotten the date!!

On another occasion I had been teasing Alan about him supplying me with a company car. After a few weeks he turned up one afternoon with my company vehicle, complete with signwriting – the fact that it was about six inches long, in a cardboard box and had a petrol consumption to die for just showed his humour! I still have my Matchbox car in pride of place on my desk and it remains very economical on petrol!

Alan had the proverbial ‘heart of gold’. My girls never went off on a family holiday without an envelope from Alan with some spending money in it. He would do anything for anyone, always willing to help out whenever he could.

I could go on and on but I hope this gives you a taste of what it was like to work with Alan and the relationship we built up – he called us ‘the A team’.

Along with everybody else at Rose Villa Publications I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to his widow Linda, daughter Sharon and family on their loss.

And on a more personal note I would like to salute the man I affectionately called ‘Boss’.

NORTH WALSHAM TOWN COUNCIL Volunteering opportunities

The Information Office, which is based in the Council Offices and provides tourist and local service information to visitors and residents, needs your help. We are looking for volunteers of all ages to help man the desk, which runs on a rota system from 9.30am until 2.30pm Monday to Friday from the end of March until October. Although it helps to have some local knowledge, volunteers are not thrown in at the deep end and expected to swim straight away – any new volunteers would initially work with one of our more experienced team members to learn the set up, the type of information we have available, and of course where to find it. All we ask is that you are able to commit a few hours of your time towards helping the Town Council keep this valuable resource running.

You may have seen one or more groups of young adults around the town between 11 and 22 August, along Norwich and Grammar School Roads, in Memorial Park and on the market on 14 August. We have been “hosting” a group of local Year 11 volunteers who have been working with the National Citizen Service through the Community Sports Foundation. They have been undertaking various projects around North Walsham, including: restoring the area around Stump Cross and cleaning up the monument itself; repainting the fencing and tidying the area around the War Memorial; working

Oh So Quiet!

This is the first impression you have when you drive the Nissan Leaf - their 100% electric car, writes Pete Smewin, the North Walsham Times’ own Jeremy Clarkson.

I had the opportunity to test drive a brand new Leaf Accenta 5dr automatic supplied by Crayford & Abbs Ltd at Bodham.

It was extremely well appointed with very comfortable interior and impressive dashboard. It drove exceptionally well aided by impressive but easy-to-use controls. Reversing was also a revelation with the aid of a colour reversing camera, something I had never used before but found was very helpful.

The Leaf benefits by giving the owner low cost fuel coverage from just 2p a mile and exemption from paying Road Tax - now that is a saving!

THE NEW NISSAN LEAF ACENTA 5dr AUTOMATIC

We have negotiated, as friends of Nissan, for readers of The North Walsham Times a privileged discount scheme.

Customer deposit £399.00, 1 month - £287.43 24 months - £138.48 per month To Qualify ORDER BY 6th September and register by end of September 2014.

Telephone or visit the sales team at Crayford and Abbs for your test drive and for more detailed information.

Telephone 01263 588160 Bodham, Holt NR25 6QJ

The automatic gear box was very easy to use and the performance was exceptional. You would not find any difference to driving a conventionally fuelled car

The one question that nagged and worried me was how easy is it to recharge and how many charging points were there? The actual refuelling is very easy and there are now more and more refuelling points, locally and nationally, and with the Government spending £41 million into improving the spread of recharging points this will only get better. You can check the points available at www.zapmap.com.

Prestigious Green Flag hoisted again at Holt Country Park, Sadler’s Wood and Pretty Corner

Holt Country Park, Sadler’s Wood in North Walsham and Pretty Corner, near Sheringham, have again been named amongst the best open spaces in the UK, winning the right to fly the prestigious Green Flag for 2014/15.

It is the tenth year in a row that Holt Country Park, which, like the other two winners, is run

by North Norfolk District Council (NNDC), has earned a Green Flag for being welcoming, safe, clean and well-managed.

In 2005, the country park was the first in Norfolk to win a Green Flag - an award that demands year-on-year improvement for the status to be retained. A new ‘wildlife garden’ has recently been added to the park. Designed by NNDC’s countryside rangers and members of Holt Day Services, it contains a range of ‘themed’ plant beds and offers visitors a peaceful and tranquil spot to enjoy the many wildlife species that thrive there.

Holt Country Park was joined by Sadler’s Wood, just outside North Walsham, when it achieved a Green Flag in 2012, and then by Pretty Corner Woods the following year. Pretty Corner was awarded a Green Flag on its very 14

first application, which is very rare and a clear acknowledgement of the excellent work that is being carried out by NNDC staff and dedicated local volunteers.

The three sites are among a record-breaking 1,446 parks and green spaces that have been awarded with a prestigious Green Flag Award for 2014/2015.

Glyn Williams, NNDC Cabinet Member for Leisure and Cultural Services, said “North Norfolk has a host of beautiful open spaces and I am delighted that Holt Country Park, Sadler’s Wood and Pretty Corner Woods have attracted national recognition once again.

“The Green Flag Award highlights that our staff take great care in looking after our green areas for the benefit of the many groups, visitors and residents who enjoy them throughout the year.

Cllr. Williams added “If you haven’t done so already, I’d encourage you to visit at least one of our free, award-winning spaces this summer.

Our countryside rangers have a full programme of activities for the whole family to enjoy!”

The award, handed out by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, recognises and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the country. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to visitors that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities.

Green Flag Award Scheme Manager Paul Todd said “We are delighted to announce yet another record-breaking year for Green Flag Award parks and green spaces.

“A Green Flag Award provides national recognition for the hard work and dedication of all the parks managers, staff and volunteers who have helped to create these fantastic places for all to enjoy.

“Quality green spaces are a vital resource for communities and that is why it is so significant that we have given out more awards than ever before.”

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

When people call Stephanie to report a “stray” cat she explains to them that it is important to make absolutely sure that the cat is homeless and that all efforts have been made to find the owner as they may be looking for their beloved pet. She advises them to take the cat to the vets to see if it has been micro chipped, to ask neighbours if they know the owner/cat, to put a notice in a local shop (if there is one) and to contact the Animal Search UK website (this can be done via the Lost and Found Page on our website) to record the cat being found. We will also send them paper collars to put on the cat and these often result in the owner being “found”. A recent instance regarding a cat in Cromer springs to mind.

Hopefully this particular cat will soon be neutered to stop him straying and fighting.

In the same week a lady contacted us with regard to a stray which had taken up residence in her garden. This cat, which had been there for a few weeks, looked quite thin, and was eating the bird food off the lawn.

She told us that she had already taken the cats to the vets but needed advice as to what else she could do to make sure there was no owner out there, before giving the cat a permanent home. On our advice she quickly produced a notice and placed it in the local shop, and contacted the Animal Search UK website who were only too willing to help. As

West Norfolk RSPCA

Prunella is absolutely divine, we all love her!

Not only does she have THE most beautiful face and amazing eyes, she is the most loving dog and has a lovely temperament. She is desperate for you to speak to her when you go near her kennel and looks pleadingly at you with her beautiful soft eyes.

Prunella is an absolute cuddle-monster and loves to have her belly tickled. She is very keen to have a fuss from everyone, but looks very sad and desolate when anyone leaves the kennels, as if she thinks she might have been going with them, poor girl.

She has definitely been someone's dog, big shame on them for leaving her to fend for herself, when she has clearly loved someone, somewhere very much and has been well looked after as she looks to be in tip-top condition.

Prunella is around 18 months old, is fine with other dogs, although will want to have you all to herself at home please. She could live with the children aged 10+ and is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

she had not known of this website she decided to just have a look at the lost cats to see if her stray was listed and was amazed to see a cat on there that fitted the bill (easy to see, as the markings were the same and it had a bent tail, just like her stray). Contact was made with the owner via the website and Socks in now happily back in his own home having been missing for 4 months. How he arrived in North Walsham from Thorpe is something we will never know. It does however highlight the fact that the stray in your garden could be someone’s beloved pet and every effort should be made to find the owner.

Socks now settled back home and sleeping on his owner’s bed!

If you are looking for a cat or kitten please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively you can visit www.cats.org.uk/northwalsham 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.

If however you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher).

Norfolk MPs and business leaders hold Summer Tourism Summit

Earlier this month Norfolk MPs heard from businesses about the work that is going on across the county to market Norfolk as a tourist destination.

A group of Norfolk MPs met with business leaders from across North Norfolk, and representatives from Visit East Anglia and New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).

Commenting afterwards, Norman Lamb said “Four years ago, Liberal Democrats decided to go into Coalition Government in order to tackle the crippling financial legacy left by the previous government, and get our economy back on track. Over the past four years, we have really seen people’s confidence return in the British economy, and that is reflected in falling unemployment, and record numbers of new business start-ups – more than 380,000 new businesses across the country last year. “We now have to do everything we can to ensure that the benefits of the recovery are felt here in North Norfolk.

Everything we heard today was in-

Fencing - Patios - Driveways Friendly Family Run Business Covering North Norfolk and The Norfolk Broads Before your new fence is erected, take advantage of our full tree and hedge removal service

credibly encouraging, and I look forward to working with other Norfolk MPs over the coming months to support the efforts to promote Norfolk’s unique appeal as a tourist destination. Improving transport links from Norfolk to other parts of the country, protecting our valuable coastline, and supporting high streets in our towns, all have a key part to play.”

Norwich South MP Simon Wright added “The natural beauty of Norfolk, together with Norwich’s heritage and retail offer, brings huge benefits to all of us. More than 50,000 Norfolk jobs are linked to tourism. It’s the largest sector of our local economy, worth billions of pounds every year. The A11 dualling is a big step forward, and we need investment in our other transport links so that more people can visit and bring their spending power to Norfolk. It was really encouraging to meet with Visit East Anglia and local employers to hear of their success in promoting tourism in the county.”

Online electoral registration available for the first time North Norfolk residents will be sent a letter from their Electoral Registration Officer this month informing them of a change to the electoral registration system.

As part of a nationwide initiative to help reduce electoral fraud and improve accountability, the government has launched the Individual Electoral Registration system (IER), which makes every eligible voter responsible for registering themselves to vote.

Previously each household across the UK received a single form asking for details of all eligible voters within the property, but this will now be replaced by the new system which means the Council has to

write to every voter individually.

For the vast majority of eligible voters, they will not need to do anything as they will have automatically have had their details transferred from the old system to the new one.

Sheila Oxtoby, Electoral Registration Officer for North Norfolk, said “Most residents will receive a letter from the elections team to tell them that they have automatically moved onto the new registration system. However, some residents will be told that they need to provide extra information in order to register under the new system. It’s important that they now do this, which can be done at

HEART FELT THANKS FROM HELEN’S HEROES

On 13 April this year, eight members of the same family took part in the 2014 Virgin London Marathon.

The ever-increasing team, known as Helen’s Heroes, were once again raising money for Breast Cancer Campaign in memory of Helen Plummer. Helen was a mother of four from North Walsham who sadly lost her battle to breast cancer in 2005. During her illness, she was determined to raise as much money as she could for cancer charities and before she died she raised an incredible £11,000.

The family team was led by Charlie Dyke who promised his sister before her death that he would continue to run for charity for as long as he was able. It was a very special marathon this year as Charlie was joined by his wife, four children and two son-in-laws.

Three months on, this year’s fundraising total has been counted and added to the previous total. The family would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for their continued support. Once again they were overwhelmed by the generosity of local people and cannot thank everyone enough.

A special thank you to Granville, who led the auction at the charity night and to ‘Night Train’ for providing excellent entertainment.

This year was Helen’s Heroes most successful year yet with an amazing £18,161.50 being raised from the marathon event as well as store collections, car boot sales and the annual charity night.

The grand total, which is currently £78,899.50, has well exceeded the initial target of £50,000 and family and friends are now determined to reach £100,000 by 2020.

aspects of how the First World War affected the people of North Walsham and displays of World War 1 medals and artefacts.

In the two weeks leading up to the commemoration, themed pictures produced by local schoolchildren will be displayed at North Walsham Library and in the windows of local shops who have kindly supported the event.

Thanks to the kind generosity of Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and many local businesses, the event will be completely free of charge to visitors.

An additional display by the Norfolk Titanic Association will be on show over the weekend in the Atrium annexe making it a weekend not to be missed.

After working for all my life on the land, I can see the population of our songbirds is decreasing. There will come a time when there will be hardly any birds left. As we go around talking about Songbird Survival, people are realising that we do have a problem’.
