Christmas funding boost for St Margaret’s, Paston

A much-loved Norfolk church is to share in a ÂŁ483,000 funding payout from the National Churches Trust.

A £10,000 National Churches Trust Cornerstone Grant will help fund the installation of an accessible toilet and other facilities at St Margaret’s church in Paston, a Grade I listed church famous for its medieval wall paintings, helping it to better serve its community.

St Margaret’s is a fine, largely 14th century thatched church intricately linked to the Paston family, famous for their collection of letters, written between 1422 and 1509.

Inside, the church contains a series of rare and important medieval wall paintings, including a late 14th century wall painting of St Christopher crossing a river with the Christ Child on his shoulder. Towards the altar another painting has been identified as a morality tale showing three hunting kings or noblemen coming upon three skeletons hanging from a tree, showing how everyone ends up.

Christmas funding boost for St Margaret’s, Paston

Continued from front cover...

The painting had been unseen probably for centuries until it was discovered by accident in 1922. Then in November 2013, during the repair works, some further medieval wall paintings emerged above the chancel arch which were likely associated with the rood screen of c.1430-60. These included an angel with curly hair swinging a sensor, and symbols of the Passion. These have been assessed by Dr Andrea Kirkham and are later in date than the other paintings and are very rare if not unique – the symbols are to be found carved in wood or stone but ours are the only representation in a wall painting.

St Margaret’s is therefore of local, national and international importance.

The Paston Community Project will transform St Margaret's into a welcoming, flexible and engaging community 'hub' by significant and imaginative reordering of its internal spaces.

Phase 1 involved structural repairs, masonry repointing and installing a new drainage system; phase 3 will involve restoring their medieval wall paintings and developing heritage interpretation and educational material.

Philip Burton, Churchwarden at St Margaret’s and Paston Community Project Steering Group Chair, said: “We are delighted to have been selected for support by the National Churches Trust to whom we are extremely grateful. The grant of £10,000 signifies a real boost to our fund-raising efforts and takes us within striking distance of our target of £158,000. The works which we are planning to start in the spring of 2021 will create a superb facility for the local community and for visitors and will underpin the long-term sustainability of our ancient historic church. Full details can be found on our website, www.pastonchurch.org.uk”

Ring in the New!

I can’t quite believe that it is January already, but like many people, I’m slightly amending my diet to atone for the overindulgence that we all know and love as Christmas.

It’s good to start the New Year with a determination to make some changes, and rather than ‘put myself on a diet’ (surely a sentence to strike trepidation into anyone!) I have determined to increase the number and variety of vegetables and fruit that I eat, which I’m hoping will naturally make me healthier.

One veg that I love is the humble sweet potato; who can resist that vibrant colour and creamy texture that screams comfort food when the temperature is so low? It’s packed full of nutritional superpower, and so easy to source and cook, as well as being fairly easy on the purse.

This is my favourite way to cook them; fast, easy and delicious. Swap the herbs if you’re not keen on rosemary, and try thyme, oregano or curry powder for a bit of heat. I have them like this with a huge salad and maybe a little protein on the side, or just tuck into a pile of them with some garlic mayo to dip them in… ..healthy heaven!

Roasted Sweet Potato Chunks

(Serves 4) Sweet potatoes (5 medium) peeled and cut into bite size chunks Olive Oil Dried rosemary Garlic granules Sweet Smoked Paprika Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preheat your oven to 200°.

Toss the chunks in a good slug of olive oil, and scatter on about 2 tsp rosemary, season with garlic granules, add a heaped tsp smoked paprika and a little salt and pepper.

Toss to coat evenly and place on a large baking tray in the top of the oven for around 30 mins, or until cooked through and just starting to char a little on the edges.

Serve immediately. www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

A Note from the editor

News from the Norfolk Coast Partnership - New farm scheme

Another year, another lockdown. Covid is certainly making its presence felt. Even here where we have had relatively low numbers of cases, incidence is rising rapidly. There is, however, hope of a corner being turned with the roll out of the new vaccines.

Now is the time to dig in and keep our resolve.

Never has ‘Hands – Face – Space’ been more important, until we get the pandemic under control.

The Environmental Land Management scheme (ELM) is a new grant system for farmers which will in time replace Countryside Stewardship.

This means that farmers will not be paid according to how much land they own but for delivering beneficial outcomes including: clean air and water, thriving plants and wildlife, protection from environmental hazards, and enhanced beauty in our landscapes. Heritage, engagement with the landscape, and reduction and adaptation to climate change are also important elements as we look to the future.

How are your New Year resolutions going? A Bristol University study showed that 88% of us fail to keep our resolutions, no surprise there, especially if we are staying home with the fridge calling your name constantly. But now is perhaps the time to take up that hobby you always wanted to try or study those seed catalogues to have that garden display even better than last year. Whatever floats your boat, why not try something different this year, maybe join an online group, make new friends in the process. If the last year has taught us anything, it is the importance of making and keeping up connections and finding different ways to use our time and interact with others.

This is great news for the environment and for farmers who will be more supported financially to deliver benefits. The schemes will start in 2024 and protected landscapes including AONBs will begin to engage with farmers to support their participation in the ELM scheme from early next year.

Whatever you are doing in this New Year may it be better than the last.

Enjoy your January magazine.

We’ve already been in discussions with Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB and the Broads National Park over possible collaboration work here in East Anglia.

Keep well and safe.

Jo – Editor.

We are looking forward to working even more closely with local farmers in the AONB and to help facilitate positive change for our landscape, wildlife and people.

Here are the deadline dates and publishing dates for the next three magazines: Month Copy deadline Publishing date February Tuesday 2nd February Friday 12th February March Tuesday 2nd March Friday 12th March April Tuesday 6th April Friday 16th April

New Year Lasting Power of Attorney Discount

Make it your New Year’s Resolution to get your legal affairs in order and plan for the future. Throughout January and February 2021, Clapham & Collinge LLP is offering a 25% discount on Lasting Powers of Attorney.

We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of clients instructing us to grant power of attorney as the coronavirus outbreak prompts many of us to urgently review our legal affairs. Although it is often difficult to think about, it is crucial that we plan for the future and ensure we can manage our financial affairs in the event of an incapacitating illness, accident or injury. Everyone understands the importance of a Will, but Lasting Powers of Attorney are a bit more obscure in the public sphere and often people are not aware why they need them.

If you lose the ability to manage your own affairs, a partner or family member cannot automatically deal with things on your behalf.

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that enables people you choose to have legal authority to make certain decisions for you, if you become unable to make them yourself. The person who is given this authority is known as an ‘attorney’. They can manage your finances, or make decisions relating to your health and welfare. There are

two types of Lasting Power of Attorney:

Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney:

• No one has legal authority to act on your behalf – your spouse and children have no automatic rights to make decisions on your behalf; • Someone will need to make an application to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order; • This can be costly, time consuming and you may not end up being assisted by the person you would have chosen yourself.

This gives your attorney the power to make decisions about your money and property, including managing bank or building society accounts, paying bills, collecting a pension and if necessary, selling your home. Once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, it can be used immediately, or held in readiness until required.

Health and Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney:

This gives your attorney the power to make decisions about your daily routine, medical care, moving into a care home and lifesustaining medical treatment. It can only be used if you are unable to make your own decisions.

In relation to the cost of preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney, this will depend on whether you wish to have both a Lasting Power of Attorney (Property and Financial Affairs) and/or a Lasting Power of Attorney (Health and Welfare) prepared and registered.

What happens if you don't make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

The cost of preparing and registering a Lasting Power of Attorney will depend on whether you wish to have a Property & Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney and/or a Health & Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney prepared and registered.

To claim your discount and book your New Year appointment, please contact us on 01263 823398 or email enquiries@claphamcollinge.co.uk. We can carry out telephone or video appointments, reducing the need for face-to-face meetings in accordance with social distancing guidelines. To be eligible for the discount, all Lasting Power of Attorney appointments must take place by Friday 26th February.

Norfolk County Council Track and Trace

The steps to take if you or any member of your household display Covid 19 symptoms are simple and can be key in preventing infections being spread.

If you are symptomatic you must isolate as soon as you notice symptoms and to have no face to face contact with anyone outside of your household.

It is important to do this straight away, and for everyone in the household to isolate as they could also be infectious even without symptoms.

As soon as you isolate, visit www.nhs.uk/ coronavirus or call 119 to book a test. Stay in isolation until you receive your results, which will include instructions on what to do next.

Cllr Bill Borrett, Norfolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Health, said: “This isn’t just about protecting ourselves, but

We can all do our bit

We can all do our bit this New Year to curb Covid and ease pressures on the NHS, Norfolk’s leaders said, in the face of rising case numbers.

WE CAN DO THIS! is the message being sent to communities across Norfolk on the last day of 2020 as residents are reminded that staying at home is now more important than ever to support local NHS services facing significant challenges.

With Covid-19 spreading fast and cases at record levels both in Norfolk and across the country, the Norfolk Resilience Forum (NRF) is urging residents to continue playing their part in following the Lockdown rules in order to ease the pressure on local health services.

The NRF, which is the multi-agency group comprising Norfolk’s local authorities, police, health and supporting agencies, is urging everyone to stay safely at home with their own household or support bubble and wherever possible don’t travel outside your local area.

Cllr Andrew Proctor, Chair of the Norfolk Covid-19 Engagement Board and Leader of Norfolk County Council said: “I speak for myself and all the other Norfolk leaders on the Engagement Board in saying there is no doubt that 2020 has been a really difficult year but we can look to 2021 with hope. With the announcement of a second vaccine being approved and vaccination programmes already underway in Norfolk, there is much to be optimistic about. But we must not be complacent, we are not out of the woods yet.

I hope the people of Norfolk will be able to look back over the last year with pride at how they have coped and come together to help others. So many individuals, organisations and businesses have made sacrifices and faced

making sure we all play our part to protect everyone around us. We all have friends and family that we want to keep safe – whether that’s parents, elderly grandparents, and even our children. And we need everyone to play their part to help us do that. We all have to work together to keep each other safe.”

Cath Byford, Chief Nurse with NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “Our call to everyone is, if you have coronavirus symptoms then self-isolate, get a test and help us track down people you have been in contact with. It’s one way that together we can beat this virus.”

But Test and Trace isn’t only about symptomatic individuals: when a positive test result arrives, teams of contact tracers will search for everyone the Covid positive individual has been in recent contact with and will alert them. many challenges over a prolonged period of time. Let’s not waste what we have done together.

“I would urge everyone simply not to travel.

It’s more important than ever to keep up the good work - 2021 is not a time we can afford to party or go to other gatherings.”

Norfolk Constabulary’s Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Julie Wvendth said: “Given the rise in infections and continued stress this puts on the NHS system, we would urge people to abide by the Lockdown restrictions. If we work together to protect ourselves and each other we can put ourselves in the best place to tackle it. This includes staying local and only going out for essential journeys.

“Where breaches are reported to the police, we will consider the information provided to us and attend where necessary. As we have said before, we will continue to follow the four Es approach and will engage, educate and explain the regulations to people, however, blatant disregard for the regulations will not be tolerated and when required we will enforce the legislation.

Norfolk’s Director of Public Health, Dr Louise Smith said: “With the new vaccines there is hope on the horizon. But infection rates are at unprecedented levels in Norfolk, as they are across the country. There is growing demand in our three acute hospitals and across the county’s social care settings. The increasing number of cases is across all ages and we know around one in three people who have Covid-19 don’t have any symptoms, but can still pass it on. So, the steps we take now are critical.

“We must continue to play our part and do everything we can to keep ourselves and our friends and family as safe and well as possible

If you're told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app: ▪ Self-isolate for 10 days from when you were last in contact with the person who tested positive for coronavirus ▪ Do not leave your home for any reason – if you need food or medicine, order it online or by phone, or ask friends and family to drop it off at your home ▪ Do not have visitors in your home, including friends and family – except for essential care ▪ Try to avoid contact with anyone you live with as much as possible ▪ Any people you live with and any people in your support bubble do not need to selfisolate if you do not have symptoms ▪ If you live with someone at higher risk from coronavirus, try to arrange for them to stay with friends or family while you're selfisolating.

▪ If you have to stay in the same home together, read about how to avoid spreading coronavirus to people you live with. to reduce the spread of the virus and support our local NHS services.”

The key advice remains ‘hands, face, space’ – washing your hands regularly, covering your face in enclosed spaces and social distancing from anyone you do not live with or who isn’t in your support bubble is vital.

If you have any of the coronavirus symptoms you must self-isolate straightway and get a test. You must continue to isolate if you test positive or are told to isolate by NHS Test and Trace.

Dr Anoop Dhesi, a practicing GP at Staithe Surgery in Stalham and Clinical Chair for NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said: “We have seen an amazing effort from all those involved in rolling out the vaccine - both our NHS staff and community volunteers. But please be patient and wait until you are contacted to come for your vaccination – do not phone or turn up at your GP practice or local hospital as they can only provide the vaccination by appointment.

“Coronavirus infection rates and hospital admissions are now higher than they were in the first wave. We are asking everyone to follow the Lockdown guidance and stay well by continuing to wash our hands, cover our face, and keep two metres apart. This is crucial to avoid more hospital admissions and losing more lives to this virus.

“If you have an urgent medical need but are unsure what to do, please call 111 first. They can signpost you to the most appropriate service, and can even make an appointment for you if you need to be seen urgently.”

Friends’ festive treats for hospital patients and staff

They’ve been! Hospital Friends have made their traditional visit to hand over festive gifts to patients and staff, but due to Covid restrictions things were a different this year. The Friends of North Walsham War Memorial Hospital normally visit the ward and hand over the presents personally to those being cared for, and the staff looking after them.

This time they had to do a “doorstep delivery” and leave staff to safely distribute the treats which include puzzle books, chocolates, biscuits, shower gels and soap. They also left hampers for the staff – both those on the ward, which is now dealing entirely with recovering Covid patients, and rest of the hospital, which continues to do out-patient clinics.

North Walsham is now the main community hospital receiving Covid patients from TO TO SLOW SLOW THE SP SPREAD READ OF Norfolk’s three acute AVIRUS IN NORF CORONAVIRUS CORONA NORFOLK OLK hospitals, so is currently hosting people from as far afield as Lowestoft and King’s Lynn.

in a hospital bed know that people, other than their families, are thinking of them.”

And this year the staff were more deserving than ever of the hampers after long shifts working in full PPE. Ward sister Kerry Howarth said: “The patients always enjoy the Friends’ gifts, but this year even more so because they cannot have any visitors due to Covid. The staff are also working extra hours, so the hampers are a real morale booster.”

The Friends were also unable to provide the annual carol singing visit by the Broadland Youth Choir this year but hope that by next Christmas their festive visits will be back to normal.

They are continuing to support the staff through the testing times of the pandemic with weekly goodie parcels to boost their morale, but can only buy such “extras” thanks to the support of public donations.

An Unusual Visitor Jumping Into the New Year!

Cromer Minor Injuries update

As we moved to 2021 we were privileged to be able to see one of Toll Barn Vets more unusual patients. Our expertise and skills with exotic pets mean we often see more unusual patients, however, Benjy was certainly one of the more exotic!

Benjy is a Wallaby owned by a local zoo collection who came to see us when his keeper noticed he wasn’t eating and had stopped interacting with his troupe.

Having previously been the alpha male this raised a particular concern.

Cromer Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) will temporarily close from Monday 4 January as part of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital’s NHS Foundation Trust’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

From Monday, staff based at the MIU in Mill Road, Cromer, will be redeployed to support the minor injuries and Emergency Department at NNUH where our teams are seeing Covid-19 infections and admissions continue to rise.

We know this will be disappointing to North Norfolk patients who value the MIU service at Cromer. However, the Cromer MIU space will be used to maintain a low Covid-19 risk treatment area for surgical appointments and procedures.

Our veterinary surgeons examined Benjy and found he had a nasal discharge which would be painful when eating. Dental abscesses are common in Wallabies but Benjy’s teeth appeared in good condition so our team performed blood tests in our in-house Laboratory and a CT Scan in our Diagnostic Imaging Suite to help diagnose Benjy’s problem. We were very pleased that his blood tests were normal so his organs were functioning well despite him being a slightly older patient. The CT scan however, showed that poor Benjy had a fracture of his orbit (the part of the skull under the eye) and damage to his nose. This damage is likely to have been traumatic as Wallabies, like many species, will often have tussles for dominance when they reach sexual maturity. Our specialised anaesthetic protocols meant Benjy recovered really quickly and our team were able to start him on medication to keep him comfortable and help him eat better whilst his fracture heals and Benjy is now on track to make a full recovery and will be reintegrated with his troupe.

The service will be reopened as soon as the Covid-19 situation improves.

If you require urgent care, please contact NHS 111 by phone or online who will triage you and direct you to the most appropriate place for your healthcare needs.

The Norwich Walk-In centre, run by Norwich Practices Ltd, in Rouen Road, Norwich, is open from 7am to 9pm daily.

North Walsham Churches Together

Benjy is quite unusual amongst Wallabies as he is a hand reared and imprinted Wallaby and it was a pleasure to have him at the surgery as, like all of us when we feel poorly, all he wanted was to hold someone’s hand and have a hug! A lovely way to start the new year! We hope all our clients and patients have a safe and healthy 2021 and look forward to seeing you all during the year.

For the past 25 years “North Walsham Churches Together” have provided a traditional Christmas Lunch at the Community Centre, for anyone living on their own in North Walsham. With the present difficult situation, we reluctantly had to cancel the lunch. We realised this would be a big disappointment for many people, so it was decided to deliver a Christmas Tea.

On Christmas Day morning a band of volunteers delivered Christmas teas to 80 people, who live on their own, in the Parish of North Walsham. The delicious tea, with savouries and cakes, was prepared

by Mark at the “Flying Cockerel” and was presented on a sealed tray.

Everyone also had a box of chocolate biscuits and a 2021 Calendar which was donated by the North Walsham and District Archive.

The drivers were met with smiles and people wanting to have a chat, bringing the true meaning of Christmas to our town

We would like to say a special “THANK YOU” to Waitrose who made a very generous donation and to Bob at “The Showcase Gallery” for underwriting any losses, and of course to all those who spent hours organising the day and for the many drivers who volunteered to deliver the Teas on Christmas Morning.

Thank you to all those who made this possible Rev. Valerie Watts

become available or are required

It follows an earlier business toolkit issued in May which gives general advice about how employers can play their part by adopting measures appropriate to their premises and staffing to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus.

Also published earlier this month was a kit aimed specifically for tourism businesses and accommodation providers.

This contains: • A tourism information leaflet • Information posters for guests and tourists • A process for handling guests with suspected coronavirus

Graham Plant, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Growing the Economy at Norfolk County Council, said: “It’s great to see businesses across Norfolk have now been able to begin reopening after the lockdown period, and we’re grateful to them for the great lengths they’ve gone to become Covid secure. But it is vital that we all continue to do everything we can to limit the spread of Coronavirus in Norfolk. Businesses have a key role to play in this, from educating and keeping staff safe, to helping NHS Test and Trace to function effectively. These toolkits can help businesses to operate safely and play their part in tackling Coronavirus.�

Norfolk County Council has developed a variety of free resources in since the beginning of the pandemic to provide the latest information and advice on how to protect ourselves, protect others, and protect Norfolk. They include 12 toolkits, 51 posters, more than 80 social media graphics on a wide variety of topics from hand washing and social distancing, to scam and community support advice plus posters for pubs and restaurants. More than 100 translated versions of the materials are available. With individual documents and posters already downloaded a total of 26,677 times at the time of writing, the kits are available for individuals, partners, organisations and businesses to help remind the public of how to stay safe.

Chris Starkie, chief executive of New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “Businesses have a key role to play in the NHS Test and Trace programme. It’s vital that workplaces are safe for staff and customers, so understanding this system will give employers the reassurance that they need.�

NNDC to Launch Additional Restrictions Grant

North Norfolk District Council will be launching an Additional Restrictions Grant scheme in January 2021.

This scheme will support certain businesses that were impacted by the national lockdown in England between 5 November 2020 and 2 December 2020 and are not eligible for the Local Restrictions Support Grant.

Businesses will be able to apply from Monday 11 January 2021. Applications will be processed on a first come first served basis.

The scheme will be launched in the New year, recognising many businesses that may wish to apply will have been busy in the period following 2 December and until the Christmas period.

Cllr. Richard Kershaw, Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth said: “The Additional Restrictions Grant scheme is intended to help businesses that were unable to benefit from the Local Restrictions Support Grant.

If your business was not eligible for the LRSG scheme may I urge you to visit the NNDC website and read through the guidance for the ARG scheme.”

To find out if your business is eligible for the Additional Restrictions Grant Scheme, please see the full guidelines available here.

Applications will be assessed against the grant scheme guidelines.

For more help and advice for North Norfolk businesses affected by Coronavirus, please visit our dedicated Coronavirus: Support and Advice for Businesses page on our website.

Organic Gardening

Well, what a year! however as you can see from the photograph, having just come from the allotment with a barrow full of fresh vegetables for the Christmas period, this has still meant exercise on the allotment and a wonderful array of crops. These are so fresh, tasteful and organic. What does organic mean?

Just free from any chemicals or much more.

I have been growing organically for many years now and as you already know producing my own compost.

However, what is growing organically, organic growing doesn’t just mean not using chemicals, weed killers and pesticide sprays.

It is using natural ways to promote a healthy, productive and sustainable growing area. The real principles of organics are that we work with natural systems and cycles. The soil is as important as the plants it supports.

THE MAIN PRINCIPLES ARE: Building and maintaining soil health. The soil is full of life, insects, worms, microscopic organisms to name but a few. These support healthy plant growth. To help with this, we employ crop rotation which involves moving

crops around the plot each year, dig or no dig processes and we treasure our soil. I love my worms; they are a real sign of soil fertility.

Being aware of what you bring on to your growing area, manure, what is its provenance, does it contain any antibiotics that have been administered through the food of the animals.

Encourage diversity. All forms of life have a part to play, such as different forms of plants.

Henry Doubleday founder of what is now Garden Organic created a plant type called Bocking 14, which is a clump forming comfrey, it doesn’t spread. This plant provides valuable nutrients or food for my compost and liquid feed for my plants. Plants, insects, birds and mammals all have a role to play for instance, I put boards down on the edge of the garden, this creates a home for toads to live and at night them come out and eat the slugs. No need for slug pellets!

Use resources responsibly. The organic grower uses resources sustainably with minimum damage to the planet, pots made out of paper, toilet roll inners, no peat products, keeping the use of plastics to a minimum and using watering wisely.

Avoid harmful chemicals.

Toxic chemicals used to kill weeds, diseases and pests can damage your health and the health of your growing area.

Think about Bees and the build up of these chemicals in our water! Using wood that has not been treated, as railway sleepers may contain formaldehyde. All of these principles are creating a journey - it might not happen overnight; however it will keep you growing in a much healthier way, respecting the planet and all the resources we have.

Quick tip for January sow Broad beans in a greenhouse or cold frame, protect from mice!

These will produce an early crop which can be planted out in February/March. Sow onion seed and then when big enough, prick out ready for the new season. Keep an eye on your bulbs as they are poking through now. A top dressing of blood, fish and bone meal will help their flowers.

Hedgehog Haven

Since the last report, my numbers have yet again increased, totalling 60 plus. Pictured is Twiggy, she was brought into me while I was at the garden centre. She was entwined in wire and could not uncurl, I dashed her straight away to Westover vets where they were already waiting for her to operate to remove it, fortunately no internal damage had occurred. This picture was taken about 10 minutes after I got her home, already wanting some food, she was on painkillers and a 2-week course of antibiotics. I am very pleased to report that her wounds are healing well & she will be released back to the wild in the spring.

taken it to the vets to see whether or not it was chipped so she came to borrow one of our microchip readers to check. The cat was in fact chipped and as we have access to the companies that hold the records of who owns the cat we were able to obtain the name and contact details of the owner. Stephanie contacted the owner who advised that they had moved and that the cat kept going back to the old address and they kept going to collect it.

However, recently they had not been able to find him when he disappeared (not surprising as he was inside another person’s home).

Stephanie then contacted the person and informed her that the owner would be contacting her to reclaim her cat. She also advised her not to feed the cat again and certainly not to encourage it into her house.

The cat was 9 years old and had been with his family since a kitten so they were delighted to learn that no harm had come to him and that he would soon be back where he belonged.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Firstly, an update on Brinn the little cat with the ear problem mentioned last time. Simon, one of the vets who works at Caister and Westover operated on him in early December at Westover. Because the ear canal had fragmented the operation took longer than expected so he was kept in overnight so his condition could be monitored. When he first arrived back apart from a swollen face, he appeared to have coped remarkedly well. He has been back to see Simon for a follow up check, and he is very pleased with his progress.

He needs to go back to see him again before he is ready for a new home (and he already has one lovely family who are hoping to provide this for him).

Dilys, Hettie and Captain Fuddlesworth We have spoken in the past about the importance of not assuming the new cat visiting your garden is a stray and always advise people not to start feeding them. Also, to check with vets to make sure no cat fitting its description has been reported missing, if possible, placing a paper collar with your details on so that an owner can confirm it is not a stray and getting the cat checked to see if it is chipped should be the first option. Even a cat which looks in poor health may have an owner and could be receiving veterinary care or on a special diet because of a health issue.

Over the Christmas break Stephanie had a call from a lady with such a cat. She advised that she had asked her neighbours and that they did not recognise it either. The cat was now in her home as the weather was not good. She had not

You may recall in a recent issue the photo of a black and white kitten trying to put the light on. This was Dilys, who came into care from a stable when she was one week old. Dilys has now been joined by two more kittens Hettie and Captain Fuddlesworth, who featured, together with their two brothers, in the EDP. Our adoption fee remains the same, for all cats and kittens we rehome, unlike those seen on websites.

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.

30,000 Mission Milestone for Air Ambulance

EAAA operates 365 days year, 24/7 by RRV, and is almost completely funded by the generosity of people across East Anglia. Its critical care teams, stationed at Norwich and Cambridge, provide emergency cover across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, taking the A&E department to the roadside or bedside of those in a time-critical, life-changing situation, where every second counts.

On average, EAAA is tasked more than 2,500 times a year and has flown 5,000 missions since January 2019, when the 25,000th mission was flown. The majority of its call outs are to cardiac arrest patients and road traffic collisions.

The charity has continued to operate throughout the pandemic, only missing two clinical shifts to-date due to Covid-19 related reasons and has also been able to support local hospitals in

Although not something to celebrate, as each tasking represents someone who’s life was in danger, this is a significant milestone for the charity, which covers the region by helicopter and rapid response vehicle (RRV).

managing intensive care capacity. The EAAA teams are highly skilled at transferring critically ill patients, by air or road ambulance, and are currently on call to transfer patients between intensive care units, to help hospitals in the fight against Covid-19.

In 2020 so far, EAAA has been tasked 1,328 times by helicopter, 1,061 times by rapid response vehicle, helped 1,603 patients, flown 88,800 miles and supported 284 patients through its dedicated Aftercare Service, which helps patients and relatives understand what happened and why the air ambulance was called. The average cost of a helicopter mission is £3,500 and EAAA needs to raise in the region of 13 million each year to deliver and develop its vital service.

In 2021, EAAA is aiming to start flying 24/7,

www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

becoming the first air ambulance in the East of England to do so, and estimates this will enable the charity to help hundreds more patients a year. The on-going effects of Covid-19 on the charity’s fundraising income are as yet unknown, however EAAA are expecting a shortfall in fundraising income next year and urge you to support them in any way that you can, in order to keep its life-saving crews operational and yellow helicopters flying.

Patrick Peal, CEO of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the way our supporters have continued to support us throughout the challenges of 2020, the way everyone in the charity has focused their efforts this year to make sure we’re still able to operate safely and be there to support the other emergency services on the frontline. There are a lot of things we will take away with us when we reflect on 2020, and reaching this milestone is definitely one of them. We urge everyone to stay safe over the festive period and to keep on supporting EAAA in any way that you can, so that we can continue to be there for the local people who need our help in their darkest hour.”

Lost or unexpected beneficiaries

by Emma Langley, Solicitor, Hayes + Storr

‘Personal representatives’ is the collective term for an executor or administrator of a deceased persons estate.

A personal representative is responsible for ensuring all rightful beneficiaries receive their share of an inheritance. This can be difficult if the beneficiaries are unknown or if there is no will.

It is not uncommon for personal representatives to face difficulty tracking down some beneficiaries of an estate, especially if the will was written a long time ago.

Lost beneficiaries

To comply with their legal duties, personal representatives must take all reasonable steps to trace beneficiaries. This could include:

• Making enquiries with other beneficiaries and family members • Conducting searches of death or other public records • Conducting online research • Placing adverts calling for the lost beneficiary to come forward; or • Instructing a tracing agent.

If reasonable steps have not been taken, a personal representative can find themselves personally liable to a claim against the estate by a lost beneficiary who later comes forward.

Unexpected beneficiaries

An unexpected beneficiary is someone who turns up when the personal representative was previously unaware of their existence or entitlement. This is most likely to happen in an intestacy situation or if there is a gift in a will to a class of people, (eg. “my children”).

If the estate has already been distributed, this can cause significant problems for a personal representative.

Protecting yourself against unexpected beneficiaries

If you are acting as a personal representative, you can avoid becoming personally liable to beneficiaries of whom you are unaware, by taking certain steps to protect yourself, these can include:

• Publishing official notices advertising the death of the deceased and calling for beneficiaries to come forward • Instructing a Genealogist at the outset to carry out a full investigation and prepare a full family tree • Obtaining missing beneficiary indemnity insurance

There are important rules to adhere to when placing notices, including where they should be placed and specific wording, and allowing sufficient time for potential beneficiaries to respond.

Disgruntled dependants

You might find yourself faced with a disgruntled dependant or family member who has been excluded from the will or does not benefit under the intestacy rules. They may be entitled to bring a claim for a share of the estate. If you as personal representative have already distributed the estate, you could find yourself personally liable if certain steps and precautions were not been taken.

National offensive weapons surrender scheme begins following introduction of new laws

People in Norfolk are being given three months to surrender certain items that will soon be classed as offensive weapons under new legislation coming into force.

The Offensive Weapons Act 2019 introduces the new legislation as part of the Government’s response to serious violence, that gives the police the powers to tackle the issue. The act includes new measures to control the sale of knives and corrosive substances, it also introduces new offences relating to their possession and use and will bring in new knife crime prevention.

Under the new laws, the possession of specified rapid firing rifles, bump stocks, knives, and offensive weapons for public safety, will be prohibited.

To ensure the public can dispose of these items safely, a three-month surrender period started on Thursday 10 December and will run until Tuesday 9 March 2021. During this time, the lawful owners of these weapons can begin to surrender them to the police and submit a claim form for compensation from the Home Office.

Temporary Chief Inspector Jon Chapman head of the Joint Roads and Armed Policing Team said: "It is extremely important that anyone who is currently in possession of one of the above items, is aware of the change in legislation.

TS CARPE

VINYL

KARND

"Although there is a three-month surrender period, we urge lawful owners of these items to either return them to a designated police station or contact their local licencing department as soon as possible.

"The reason for this being that anyone found in possession of these items after the surrender period will effectively be in possession of an illegal weapon or firearm and could face up to ten years in prison.

"Please ensure that when you are transporting items to one of the designated police stations, you do so in a safe manner. This includes wrapping items or placing them in a bag or a box, if possible. Please also make sure that you do not take the items out until you are requested to do so by a police officer or member of staff.

"Members of the public should also continue to adhere to the Covid regulations when attending stations by making sure they are wearing a mask and socially distancing from those around them.

"If possible, please call 101 beforehand to ensure officers or staff are aware of your visit.”

Those in possession of knives or other offensive weapons must fill in an Offensive Weapons Act Surrender and Compensation

Scheme Form, before bringing this and the item(s) to a police station designated for the purpose. This form must be completed regardless of whether the owner is seeking compensation or not. Owners should also bring valid identification and proof of ownership this could be a receipt of purchase or something similar.

In Norfolk, the designated police stations are either Bethel Street Police Station, Norwich, King’s Lynn Police Station or Great Yarmouth Police Station.

To surrender firearms, relevant certificate holders are likely to be contacted by force licencing departments, with arrangements to be made to collect these items from their homes, rather than requiring them to attend a police station.

Please take all reasonable steps to make the firearm safe to handle.

If you have not been contacted by the Firearms Licencing Unit, then please call Chris Wright on 07770831503 or email: christopher.wright3@norfolk.police.uk.

For more information about the scheme, including a full list of the above items, claim form and whether you are eligible for compensation, please visit: GOV.uk

Dear Jo,

To Churches together in North Walsham.

I would like to say an enormous heartfelt “Thank you “to Churches Together in North Walsham and everyone involved in the donations, the organising, the preparation, and the delivery of the Afternoon Tea to all those who would normally have gone to the Community Centre in North Walsham on Christmas Day rather than be at home alone.

The “Airline“ style “Flying Cockerel“ tray was delivered to my door by such a lovely family on Christmas morning, it was full of delicious finger sandwiches, lots of little savouries, spiced scone with jam and clotted cream, Christmas cake and a Christmas cracker, added to that was a huge box of festive biscuits and a North Walsham Archive Calendar for 2021!

It is so heart-warming to see that despite the extremely difficult year that it has been for everyone across the Nation due to the Covid pandemic, that there is such kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity among the Churches and people of North Walsham.

I am sure that all those in receipt of this very generous lunch join me in “Thanking you All “ for bringing us All such extra special Christmas cheer.

With Kindest Regards and Wishes for A Healthy, Happy New Year 2021 to Everyone.

286. Mate in two moves

Solution to No. 285: 1. Kd7, no threat. Set in the diagram are 1… Kh8 2. Be5 and 1… Kh6 2. Nf5; the excellent key provides for 1… Kf8 2.

Ne6, and gives Black his 4th flight (Star-Flight theme) 1… Kf6 2. Nh5.

01263 738444

No. 286 is an intensive rendering of a complex theme: the white 2ndmove threat closes a white line of guard to a potential flight-square but instead opens another line of guard to the same square; 5 black moves defend by closing this second line as well so that the threat would unguard the flight. Two of the defences are mutual interferences between black R and B (Grimshaw theme), the others are relatively simple. With those hints, difficulty 3. This one should be a worthy test of our experts to start the year!

Hopes there might be some competitive rugby soon for the Vikings, albeit under adapted laws, are on hold since Norfolk’s move into Tier 4. Plans to start a six team Eastern Counties competition now look very doubtful – it was due to begin on 23rd January.

Save for lockdowns, the players have been training twice weekly since July, but as of early January it was unclear when they could re-commence. The squad has been strengthened with thirteen new signings all, save for the returning Henry Dewing, from local Clubs; in December the numbers attending training hit fifty. Tom Browes who has retired, Axel Hohneck and Will Swart, returnees to New Zealand & South Africa respectively are the only confirmed leavers from the 2019 -20 squad.

24 people fined after Ludham UME

24 people have been issued with Fixed Penalty Notices for breach of gathering with mixing desks and a generator also seized after police shut down an illegal event in Ludham late last night (Thursday 31 December 2020).

Police learned of the event shortly after 9:30pm with information given that there was a suspected rave on Hall Road in the village.

Officers arrived on scene at 9:45pm and discovered approximately 60 people present in, what appeared to be, the early stages of an unlicensed music event being set up.

Roads accessing the area were blocked by police cars after officers went on to the site.

Two people were also reported for possession of drugs.

Supt Terry Lordan said: "With so many people in Norfolk abiding by the Tier 4 regulations, put in place to keep us all safe, it is very disappointing to then have a minority behave in this way.

These events are not only illegal and, with the threat of coronavirus, extremely unsafe, they also cause unnecessary damage and disruption. Across Norfolk, thankfully, the large majority of our residents spent a peaceful evening welcoming in the New Year, for which I am grateful. This small group of individuals who looked to attend this event however, learned that, where we can, we will prevent, disrupt or stop a rave or unlicensed musical event from taking place and we won’t hesitate to use Covid enforcement action where we need to.”

If you have information about illegal raves or concerns suspicious activity in your area, you can report this by calling 101.

Meanwhile plans are being made for a Ladies team next season, meaning a pathway into adult rugby for the Girls playing for the Valkyries. Club President Training in July 2020 Dave Horne commented, “we see Ladies rugby playing a big part in our development. We want to provide playing and social opportunities to all members of the communities we serve.” Numbers have grown rapidly since the Valkyries’ 2018 formation. 7 joined initially, now there are thirty-five from thirteen different schools & colleges.
