STAY SAFE

ENJOY YOUR TIME AT THE COAST

if you're in trouble in a rip current:

• Check the weather and tide times.

call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

KNOW WHAT TO DO SEARCH: RESPECT THE WATER

• Always check the tide times and heights and keep a look out for incoming tide. Use tide timetables or a tidal prediction app like AnyTide.

Make sure you have enough time to return safely. If in doubt, seek local advice.

• Always carry a means of calling for help on your person. Call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard if you are in danger or you see someone in danger of being cut off by the tide.

• Tell someone else where you’re going and when you’ll be back. They can raise the alarm with the coastguard by calling 999 or 112 if you are overdue

BeaCH saFetY Know your flags

• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back.

IN AN EMERGENCY

• If you can stand, walk, don’t swim.

• If you have a board or inflatable, you should keep hold of it to help you float.

• Raise your hand and shout for help.

• Never try and swim against the rip or you'll get exhausted.

• Swim parallel to the beach until you are free of it then make for shore

Our advice for tidal cut off:

• Carry a means of calling for help and keep it protected and attached to you at all times.

• Read signs and be aware of local hazards.

• Tides cause a rise and fall in sea level.

Check times of high and low tide so you don't get cut off.

• Unexpected waves can quickly sweep people off their feet, even on a calm day.

• Keep an eye on the water and don't go too close to the water’s edge

• Blow-up toys and airbeds are designed for pools, not the sea where they can easily be blown offshore. If you must use them at the beach, then: • ensure children are closely supervised • keep nearby • only use between the red and yellow flags • follow the lifeguards' advice • do not take out in big waves • do not use when the orange windsock is flying, as this indicates offshore wind

what to do if a child goes missing

• Calmly check the surroundings first, ensuring other children remain supervised.

• Contact the lifeguards or police and keep them informed.

Furry and Fluffy Friends

A Note from the editor

At last, the sun has arrived, and thoughts are turning to lazy summer days and holidays.

Age Concern North Norfolk has had a busy month with our clients having several opportunities to embrace our furry and fluffy friends. There is no doubt that visits of small animals and birds provide huge stimulation and wonderment to our clients in the day centre, even if at first, they may say they do not want to touch them, they soon overcome their fears and join in with everyone else.

First of all, we followed up on our visit of the guinea pigs to the centre by going to see them at the Cavies and Cake Café in Fakenham. Five clients were treated to refreshments and cakes before the guinea pigs were placed on the table in front of them to feed and cuddle. The Cavies and Cake scheme is an award-winning specialist in therapeutic guinea-pig visits, focusing on cognitive, sensory, fine motor skills and emotional engagement.

With many families caught in the cost-of-living crisis, outings for the children can be an unaffordable luxury, but there is fun to be had for very little cost or even for free. Look out for school holiday activities such as the Big Norfolk Holiday Fun scheme which can be booked for free activities on the Norfolk County Council website. Keep an eye out for other free workshops and activities available in your area.

Local carnivals are always popular with families, pack up a picnic and take advantage of all the free fun available. Local carnival dates are:

Wells Carnival: Friday 29th July – Sunday 7th August inclusive: (Carnival Day & Parade - Saturday 6th Aug).

Sheringham Carnival: Monday 1st August – Sunday 7th August (Carnival Day & Parade – Wednesday 3rd August).

Cromer Carnival: Saturday 13th August to Friday 19th August (Carnival Day & Parade - Wednesday 17th August).

The same week we had a ‘parliament of owls’ in the centre from Norfolk Wild Encounters – barn, snowy, boreal to name a few types and we watched them in flight across the hall to eat some prepared food as well as holding them on outstretched glove-covered arms. It was exciting to see them and to learn about their history.

Whether you are having a ‘staycation’ of off on your travels, have a great summer.

Enjoy your July magazine.

Jo – Editor.

Here are the deadline dates and publishing dates for the next 3 magazines:

Month August September October

We are fortunate that these encounters with nature are available to our clients and create lasting memories for the people in the centre. If you are interested in coming to the day centre, please contact Alison on 01263 821188 for more information.

Copy deadline Tuesday 2nd August Tuesday 30th August Tuesday 27th September

Digital Laster Powers of Attorney - Will they be safe?

The Ministry of Justice is looking to modernise the process of creating Lasting Powers of Attorney and introduce making LPAs completely online. Powers of Attorney have come a long way from the pre-printed double-sided booklet that was predecessor to the LPA - the “Enduring Power of Attorney” or EPA - that could be made from 1986 to 2007.

By 2007, as EPAs could be made by individuals at home and taking professional advice was not obligatory, there were concerns over the number of EPAs made without the full understanding of the Donor.

It was felt that there were not enough safeguarding measures in the EPA making process – and this led to the creation of Lasting Powers of Attorney or LPAs.

Although EPAs did not have to be registered until the Donor was beginning to lack mental capacity to manage their financial affairs, they had one important protection; anyone dealing with the Attorney could ask the Donor of an unregistered EPA to confirm that the Attorney was acting within their authority. Once the Donor lacked mental capacity, the Court of Protection was involved and could protect a vulnerable Donor by asking the Attorney for accounts and investigate any claims of financial abuse.

Unlike the old EPAs, LPAs must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian prior to use and registration is proof of the authority of the Attorney to act.

So, unlike in the days of EPAs, the Donor is therefore unlikely to be asked by anyone dealing with the Attorney, if the Attorney is acting as the Donor expects. This means that a vulnerable Donor needs to be confident that they understand what is involved in making an LPA and adequate safeguards are in place to avoid abuse.

For the time being, Lasting Powers of Attorney need to be printed off and signed by the Donor and Attorneys, all of whom need witnesses to their signatures. Digital signatures are not accepted. In addition, a Certificate Provider must confirm on the form that the Donor understands the LPA and that no fraud or pressure is being put on them to make it.

Making an LPA online would mean that there need no longer be a physical witness to the Donor’s signature – and The Law Society and STEP are concerned about the impact that this would have in terms of safeguarding the Donor against fraud, coercion or pressure.

LPAs are legal documents that give the Attorneys wide powers over decisions that affect the Donor’s life when their mental capacity is diminished – and can allow the Attorneys to deal with everything from finances, to where the Donor lives or even the life sustaining medical treatment they receive. An independent witness watching the Donor sign is able to assess whether the Donor does understand and want to make the LPA – and could give evidence on this to the Office of the Public Guardian if there were concerns over how the LPA was made.

The Certificate Provider must currently have met with the Donor and spoken to them about the LPA to be able to confirm that the Donor understands what he or she is signing.

Digital creation of LPAs will need to include this safeguard for Donors, but it is not yet clear how the Ministry of Justice intend that this protection be

nigelwright87@gmail.com

For the time being, we remain bound by signatures on a printed LPA and it is likely that paper applications to register LPAs always be an option for those who do not have access to the internet, or those uncomfortable with making an LPA digitally.

Both STEP and The Law Society welcome making LPAs easier and quicker to create, but are looking to see that there is a comprehensive set of safeguards linked to the online creation of LPAs. Because of the lack of human element in the signing process, how to prove that the Donor has mental capacity and understands the nature of the document they are signing will need careful consideration. The government will produce further details on these points before making LPAs online becomes possible and potentially safe.

Free workshops and events for this summer; from singing to acting, crafts and storytime

sharing something different together.

Fancy trying something different this August? New Stages is presenting a season of activity for all ages throughout the summer – and it’s all completely free to take part! Most workshops take place in North Walsham and other events such as special Storytime events are taking place at libraries in Cromer and Stalham.

A free taster session with North Walsham People’s Choir will take place at 7pm on Tuesday 9th August, all are welcome to join in with the friendly group from pop, rock, musicals and world music.

Joseph Ballard, Director of New Stages said: “Getting creative in the community helps us connect with others and the world around us – especially in a post-lockdown world. I’m very proud that we can present such a range of free workshops here in North Walsham for all ages. We’ll then collect in feedback to plan a way forward for more regular activity.

The town has always supported my similar ventures in the past and this is my way of building on this for the future.”

Creative Workshops will take place every Wednesday morning and will range from a taster session in British Sign Language, to modelling with clay, writing poems and tasting exotic foods. These workshops will focus on creative activity as a way to think about and boost a sense of wellbeing and

If you want to be inspired to write, a ‘writing for fun’ workshop will take place on Thursday 11th August at 7pm with simple writing prompts and short exercises designed to unblock your creativity!

The summer is a series of free taster sessions to develop new community projects going forward and all are welcome to attend the ‘creativity and wellbeing’ discussion event on Monday 8 August at 6pm.

For children and young people there are youth theatre workshops with North Norfolk Youth Theatre (ages 8-12 and 13-17) and also a dance taster session (ages 6-10) with Dance for Fun on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th August. Special Storytimes are also taking place in local libraries; North Walsham (2nd August), Cromer (9th August) and Stalham (23rd August).

New Stages is a Community Interest Company, meaning it runs all activity not-for-profit with community wellbeing and creativity in mind. New Stages was behind North Walsham Pop-up People’s Theatre and the popular pantomimes before lockdown.

The summer programme has been funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.

Most sessions will take place at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall in North Walsham, plus the local libraries and a special afternoon creative workshop will take place Northrepps Aerodrome. Free refreshments will be at all sessions to keep your creativity fuelled!

Check out the New Stages website for more information or the booklets and posters around town (and available from the libraries).

All activity is free to take part and places must be booked in advance.

North Norfolk Railway Tracks Back to the Sixties The North Norfolk Railway is to host a Sixties Weekend on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 July recalling the atmosphere of the transformative decade with steam and diesel trains working side-by-side plus live music from the era and displays of some of the distinctive road vehicles of the time.

line’s team of volunteers will be sporting railway uniforms typical of those worn at the time and visitors are invited to come dressed in the fashion of the decade.

The railway’s two steam engines that were built by British Railways – 4MT No. 76084 and 9F No. 92203 “Black Prince” are scheduled to be in action for the two days. The pair were almost new when the 1960s dawned, having been constructed in 1957 and 1959 respectively, but both were withdrawn in 1967 as BR’s modernisation plan took hold.

A half-hourly train service will operate between Sheringham and Holt with rover tickets allowing 1960s Jaguar and caravan © Martin Collins passengers to hop on and off all day to travel behind several different Class 37 diesel, D6732, which celebrated its 60th locomotives and to see the activities at Birthday earlier this Weybourne Station.

Look out for Parasites

FORTHCOMING EVENTS

A warm and wet start to the summer has meant a great environment for lots of the parasites we see at the vets.

If your club/organisation/event is currently running please email details to Jo at info@holtchronicle.co.uk

Fleas are an ever present throughout the year now due to central heating and resistance to many of the common flea treatments, but it is ticks that are really booming.

Thanks to milder winters and the relaxation of the pet travel scheme in Europe we now have 4 different species of ticks in the UK and they are all becoming more prevalent.

Some of you may have heard about the Babesiosis outbreak a couple of years back emanating from the South East of the country. This is a very severe, but fortunately rare disease that is transmitted by a tick that until recently was not normally seen in Great Britain. Unfortunately, the tick that carries the disease is being found across more and more of the country. This is alongside the tick that carries Lyme disease, a more commonly encountered disease that can affect both humans and our pets.

Please note that criteria for the regular events page is that each listing is strictly non-profit making/charitable status.

Saturday 16th July - Colby Church Open Day 10am -4pm. NR11 7AB. Enjoy a traditional visit to a country church, tea and cake in the churchyard, bric-a-brac, tombola, homemade cakes and jams, books, plants. Plenty of car parking, ideal for a ride out on the bike, take a country walk from the church, route available, dogs welcome.

23rd and 24th July - Flower Festival. Trimingham Hall, NR11 8HU Trimingham open weekend 10.00am to 4pm. Historical displays and craft stalls. Light refreshments available. All profits for Trimingham Church.

Saturday 6th August - Model railway exhibition at Sheringham High School, Holt Road, 10am-4pm. Staged by the M&GN Joint Railway Society.

There will be model railways in various gauges together with modelling demonstrations and trade stands. Light refreshments available all day.

Ample parking with easy access for disabled persons. For further information contact Geoff on 01692 404342.

Sunday 7th August - Little Vintage Lover Fair Parish Rooms, Heydon.

NR11 6AD. 10.00-4pm Entry fee £2. 30 stands with something for every vintage lover from clothing and accessories to the curios and the eclectic c1920s-1980s. Also, refreshments and live DJ. littlevintageloverfair.com

These diseases and ticks are impossible to eliminate as they exist in the wildlife population, but what we can do as pet owners is ensure that our cats and dogs are properly protected. By using a flea and tick treatment throughout the year you can ensure that any ticks your pet picks up will have been killed before they have managed to transmit any tick-borne diseases. Most practices will offer health care plans or clubs that help to spread the costs of such treatments across the year and combine the treatment with vaccinations and worming cover, which is equally important for pets and also any children that they come into contact with. As always prevention is better than cure so if you have any concerns please get in touch with the surgery.

Poppy Café’s Jubilee Tea Party

What a happy occasion our Tea Party on 7th June turned out to be. Everyone arrived in their ‘party best’ and immediately entered into the spirit of the event, spurred on when entering the room festooned with bunting, flowers and helium balloons.

A large table was filled with an array of tempting, goodies: sausage rolls, delicate smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches, Devonshire scones, shortbread crowns and of course cake in many forms.

Another table displayed Jubilee napkins and a variety of pretty porcelain tea services to be used for our guests’ refreshments.

Toby Morrell MRCVS Westover Vets

All were in a festive mood and Deborah was very regal in red with a jaunty union jack hat! Most enjoyed the general conversation but some more determined souls tackled the royal word searches and quizzes: first and foremost, ‘What does the Queen carry in her handbag?’ Other activities included colouring in pictures of the Queen, her crown and Buckingham Palace and doing jigsaws.

Later, Elizabeth joined the party with Louie her PAT dog who enjoyed the attention and extra treats!

The celebrations ended with some rousing singing of Land of Hope and Glory, Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and God save the Queen, ably led

by Valerie, after which there was an opportunity for photographs to be taken with the Queen by Lee. Everyone left in a very happy mood, having enjoyed the morning, with a number taking home a treat for later.

Holt & District Dementia Support is ready to welcome you - either as someone who is living with dementia or as someone who may wish to consider becoming a volunteer for our charity.

Our services include Poppy Café every Monday and Tuesday morning, a Home Visiting service and monthly Poppy Carers session. For further details: www.holtdementiasupport.org.uk

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

There has been very little movement on the homing front, apart from Sheba, one of our long-term residents, who has now left us and is very happy with her new family who are delighted with her. Some cats just wait that little bit longer for the right family to provide exactly what they need! Marley and Chloe, the two cats mentioned last time have been returned to their family, who have now adjusted to their changed circumstances, brought about by a serious illness.

Our pens are now filled once more although the new residents are not yet ready for re-homing. We do still have other cats who, like Sheba, are waiting for the right person to offer them a home. Older cats, like Bobby and Tiddles, who arrived in care when their owner died. As she had been in a home prior to this the cats were in a somewhat neglected condition when they arrived but are much happier and looking so much better now.

Although, due to central heating, ensuring your cat has treatment for parasites throughout the year is essential, we need to be extra diligent in the summer months. Fleas are the most common skin parasite and more likely to be the culprit throughout the year, as are ear mites. Ticks are often found in woodland or areas of long grass from where they jump onto any passing animal, while harvest mites are found in certain areas during the late summer and autumn and are often seen around a cat’s face and ears, areas where there is only a thin covering of hair. Lice are another nasty little parasite and look like moving dandruff on the cat’s coat.

Unlike other parasites they will not affect humans or other animals but can be passed by cats through direct contact. Mange mites are quite rare but cause itching and scabs. They can only be diagnosed by your vet who would take skin scrapings and examine them under a microscope.

We always recommend that any treatment for parasites should be obtained from your vets who will prescribe the best product for your cat. Items brought over the counter are not as effective and treatment for mange can only be prescribed by a vet.

You will be saving money in the long term by giving the best treatment.

Poppy and kittens 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. Please be aware that if you are interested in giving one of our cats a home you need to contact by phone rather than by the contact form on our website,

www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk

where a description and photograph of the cats can be seen.

Stephanie does not use a computer for her cat work so there is a delay in responding to enquiries this way and as she deals with enquiries on a first come first serve policy, she may have already spoken to someone who is interested in giving the cat a home.

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

LASTING LASTING P POWERS OWERS OF OF ATTORNEY ATTORNEY

Why are Lasting Powers of Attorney so important?

It is a common misconception that a spouse/family member has an automatic entitlement to make decisions fo or you if you lose mental capacity short or long term, but that is not true. To protect you and your loved ones against a short or long term situation where your husband, wife, partner, children cannot make decisions for you, we highly recommend that you contact us to book a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT to discuss putting Lasting Powers of Attorney in place.

There are 2 different types of Lasting Powers of Attorney – one for financial and property decisions and the other for health and care decisions. Setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney can be likened to the purchase of a home insurance policy. You hope that your house won’t burn down, but if it did, then knowing that you have house insurance in place can make a real difference in putting your mind at ease.

We are all living longer and statistics show that 1 in 3 of us will develop dementia. Covid and lockdowns have made Lasting Powers of Attorney even more important, especially if you become housebound or are isolating.

It is vital to release the burden from loved ones to allow them to access your money and pay for your care.

Banks can freeze accounts if capability is lost, even if in joint names.

A Lasting Power of Attorney negates these issues and gives you and your loved ones peace of mind.

Please contact us to make a F R E E F I R S T A P P O I N T M E N T to discuss this further.

We offer home visits at no extra cost.

Local NHS Urges Remaining People Eligible for a COVID-19 Spring Booster to Come Forward

The NHS in Norfolk and Waveney is urging those eligible for a COVID19 spring booster but yet to come forward to take up the offer as soon as possible.

The NHS nationally has invited more than five million people in total to get their spring booster in line with JCVI guidance as part of the world-leading NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme. In Norfolk and Waveney, we’re urging those that haven’t come forward to do so as soon as possible, to protect themselves and others around them.

Tricia D’Orsi, Director of Nursing-designate for NHS Norfolk and Waveney said: “We know that vaccination is the best form of protection against COVID-19 and it’s vital that people understand there is still time to have their spring booster vaccination if they are eligible. Our vaccination teams continue to do an amazing job of making sure that all those who are eligible get their vaccine across Norfolk and Waveney.”

Kate Keeling, Head of Immunisation & Health Inequalities, NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “We are really pleased that so many people in Norfolk and Waveney

have come forward and had their COVID-19 vaccinations. For those who have yet to have their COVID-19 vaccination or indeed spring booster, it’s really easy to attend one of the many sites administering vaccinations. We cannot recommend enough, the importance of everyone eligible, regardless of their age, having the COVID-19 vaccination to protect themselves, their family, and the wider local community.”

Encouraging everyone eligible to get their Spring Booster vaccine now will also mean that individuals who are likely to be eligible for an autumn dose will have had their Spring Booster with the right gap between doses to help extend protection over winter, and against any possible rise in infection levels.

The autumn programme will be determined once the JCVI finalise the guidance for the next phase of the COVID-19 vaccination programme.

People aged 75 and over, older adult care home residents and those who are immunosuppressed have been able to get their spring booster since 21 March.

Spring booster jab appointments can be booked quickly and conveniently on the NHS website and people that can’t go online can book by phoning 119.

Please note appointments for the Spring Booster must be made on the National Booking Service, they are not available at walk-in centres.

Find out more about the Spring Booster programme here.

For the National Booking site visit; NHS national booking service online at nhs.uk/covid-vaccination. Alternatively, bookings can be made by calling 119.

It is important to remind people that regular wearing a face covering, ensuring good ventilation, avoiding crowded spaces, hand washing, using sanitiser stations, and are all basic steps of infection prevention and control that we can all take to help stop the spread of germs and viruses.

Funday Committee Pull Out All the Stops for Another Great Weekend

The last weekend of June over the years has become a date for many locals with it being North Walsham Funday. Starting as just a one-day event, it’s now turned into 4 great fun filled days and this year was no disappointment.

The event started on Thursday 23rd June with the opening of the now resident Funfair who hadn't been in the town since last year’s event.

With a bigger funfair this year, it was the start of the way the weekend was to progress. Friday saw Epic Norfolk's road race joining in the Funday and in excess of 300 runners talking part in the 5k race. The evening then moved to the marquee for the Funday disco. Saturday started early with the car boot sale on the park, followed by 11 hours of rock n roll music. New for this year was Enterainment in the Market Place with Rollo and Tommy J who performed Punch and Judy and circus skills leading up to what could be described as one of the biggest

parades we had had for a while. Starting from the towns industrial estate, making its way up through the town and onto the town’s Memorial Park, saw a steam engine, dancers, small floats, business vehicles, army vehicles as well as clubs and emergency vehicles. Prizes for the best walkers were awarded to Dance for Fun, Small float Cromer Community Church, Large float - North Walsham Angels football club and best business - Matthew Williams digger hire.

Sunday saw the park filled up with craft and charity stalls, dog agility, a dog show, classic vehicles, On The edge Stunt team as well as children’s free entertainment all afternoon and live music with Hayley Kenyon, Invidia Choir and Law & Disorder. Chairman Colin Jeary said the whole 4 days had been

great and once again said how good it was to see the town filled for the carnival on the Saturday evening. The event takes several months of planning by just a small committee so we are very fortunate to have volunteers turn up and help litter pick, set up and generally help us.

This year we were able to help two NWHS students with their Duke of Edinburgh awards.

A special thanks goes to our main sponsor Toll Barn Vets who have sponsored us for several years but for the past two years have been unable to attend. Colin added it’s great when companies work with you to ensure the event is a success.

The event would not be possible without the positiveness of the committee and the support of both sponsors, traders and the general public.

Plans will soon be starting on how we can make next year’s even better!

Two Sheringham Artists Back by Popular Demand!

about Mel by David In 2016 I visited a craft show in Sheringham and spotted Mel selling cards and prints of her work, nothing unusual you might think, but every single piece made me smile. Since that meeting, we have become firm friends and are excited to be together again for a fourth exhibition.

Mel’s black and white portraits of iconic people in the music and movie

world and whimsical images of cats, crabs, lobsters, and other characters all evoke childhood memories and have become increasingly desirable to all age groups. This year, she will be showing new pieces within her “At the Beach” collection created in both watercolour and acrylic, and I guarantee you won’t leave the exhibition without a smile on your face. about David by Mel David has lived life as an artist for over fifty years painting in water colour and oils. He is also a master of stitchwork, and his subjects vary from small studies of birds, mammals, and insects to large images of fantasy and the bizarre. Two new works included in the exhibition this year, are “When festivals collide” which portrays the meeting of Christmas & Halloween in a way only David could portray it and “Village life”, which is an intricate oil painting portrait of a village.

His fastidious treatment to detail shown throughout his collections of paintings and embroidery will simply take your breath away.

Both Mel and David hope that you will take a few minutes out of your day to come and meet them and view the exhibition which is being held at Oddfellows Hall in Sheringham and runs from Saturday 30th July to Sunday 14th August 2022.

An exciting new arrival!

programmes to ensure genetic viability and diversity of the population and increase the chances of being able to successfully return animals to the wild in the future. Thrigby Hall first joined the snow leopard European breeding programme in 1984 and has

Following an uneventful pregnancy, Nima gave birth to a beautiful cub on 18 May 2022 in a specially prepared cubbing box. The new cub is gaining in confidence and has already been wowing visitors as it explores alongside mum Nima.

This important cub will remain with the parents for at least 18 months after which it will be mature enough to be transferred to another zoo within the European breeding programme, helping to preserve the future of this beautiful species.

Thrigby Hall has recently celebrated an exciting new arrival – a very important Snow Leopard Cub!

Snow Leopards live throughout the mountains of Central Asia where their existence in the wild is threatened by illegal hunting for the fur and bone trade and declining numbers of wild prey due to hunting and competition with livestock for grazing.

Sadly, they are also the victim of hunters when they threaten local livestock. The wild Snow Leopard population is in decline with less than 3,500 adult wild individuals left (1).

Conservation strategies and breeding programmes are key to the survival of this species in the wild. Breeding of snow leopards in zoological collections such as Thrigby Hall is carefully regulated by European breeding

Similarly to domestic cats these cubs require veterinary care to help keep them healthy and we are looking forward to being able to help Thrigby Hall care for this special new arrival.

Keep an eye on Thrigby Hall’s facebook page to find out the sex and name of this special cub over the next few weeks!

successfully bred several cubs over the years which have gone on to play an important role in the survival of this species. Mum, Nima, and Dad, Mohan, are considered to have important genetics for the snow leopard population so the arrival of this new cub is a very exciting time!

There are many ways we can help save these amazing cats, including visiting and supporting collections such as Thrigby Hall who are helping with their conservation. More information on Snow Leopard conservation can be found at the Snow Leopard Trust.

Brownies

Method Preheat your oven to 180C/Gas 4. Grease a deep baking pan, 22cm x 32cm, and line with baking parchment. Put the butter and chocolate in a mixing bowl and sit on top of a pan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir the mixture until fully melted, then leave to cool slightly. Put the eggs and sugar in a separate mixing bowl and whisk until pale and at the ‘ribbon’ stage.

Sift the flour and cocoa into the egg mixture, then add the melted chocolate and fold together until fully incorporated and smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, sprinkle over the chocolate chunks/chips and bake for about 30 minutes (test the middle with a cocktail stick, it should come out looking slightly wet). Leave to cool completely in the tin then lift out on the paper and cut into squares.

Enjoy! Jo – editor.

Who doesn’t love a brownie, rich, sweet, and so versatile?

The perfect pick-me-up with a cuppa. Once you have the basic recipe perfected the variations are endless. Try adding some nuts for crunch, maybe fruit (raspberries are good), or a swirl of salted caramel or Biscoff spread. Add mincemeat for Christmas brownies or mini eggs at Easter, or decorate for a special ccasion, there are so many ways to put your own stamp on these delicious treats. This recipe is an easy starter version, the trick is to get that dense, fudgy middle by not over baking, cook for too long and you havechocolate cake, so remove from the oven whilst the middle is still slightly underdone.

ingredients 175g dark chocolate 175g butter 250g caster sugar 3 large eggs, beaten 100g plain flour 25g cocoa powder 100g chocolate chunks/chips (milk, plain or white)

Credit Crunch Recipe - That’s a Wrap, folks!

As a society, we are endlessly engaged with trying to make our food ‘fast’, but it’s not always such a bad thing. We all live busy lives, and not everyone loves slaving over a hot stove! Finding recipes that work for you by not only being popular with everyone but saving you time and money is my constant quest, and this recipe definitely ticks all those boxes. It’s quick, nutritious, fun, and can feed everyone from a vegan to a meat eater happily, plus it's easy on the wallet. You may have only ever eaten baked beans before, but I promise you that this is an absolutely delicious supper, so be brave and start putting those tins of mixed beans into your shopping cart! Better still, buy them dried, soak overnight, change the water the next day and boil them up; you can then pop them in the freezer in portion sizes, ready to pull

out and add to any number of dishes. Beans and pulses are so good for you, store well and are relatively cheap and can be added to soups, stews and can replace meat in lots of dishes, as in this one.

As food becomes pricier and the bills are getting bigger, we all need to think about how we can make our budgets go further and replacing some or all of the meat in a recipe with beans and pulses is an easy win. Wraps are cheap and easy to buy, and kids love assembling their wraps to eat, often willingly adding veg and salad in that they normally wouldn’t touch.

The blend of cooked and crunchy raw veg, hummus and condiments is a winner, and we regularly now have this at home. Mix up the veg according to what is in season or on special.

Mixed Bean Burritos 1 red onion, finely chopped 3 sticks celery, finely chopped 2 large flat mushrooms, diced into small chunks 1 red and 1 green pepper, chopped into small chunks 2 fat garlic cloves, chopped finely 1 fat courgette, cut into small chunks

2 tins mixed beans, drained and rinsed A few sun-dried tomatoes from a jar, plus some of the oil 2 tsp smoked paprika ½ to 1 tsp mild chilli powder Seasoning to taste Splash soy sauce Soft wraps and chopped salad such as lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes to serve Mayo and grated cheese to serve (use vegan versions if needed) Heat a little of the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes in a deep non-stick frying pan or wok and add all the veg except the beans. Gently fry until the veg are softening, about 10mins, being careful not to burn them. Add the paprika, chilli powder and soy sauce and stir well, then check the seasoning and gently fry for another 5 minutes before adding in the beans and stirring. Heat through for another 5 mins, and serve in wraps, with salad, a little grated cheese and mayo.

Well, it’s here again, the second successive year of my bid to raise thousands and thousands for local North Norfolk charities.

After smashing my target of £26,000 and raising more than £38,000 for 26 local charities last year, this year I am aiming to do it all over again - but with a twist. For every mile I complete, 25 local charities will each receive £1,000, and then for the final mile of the marathon I want to donate £5,000 to the Supporting Ukraine in Norfolk Community Foundation’s Ukraine fund that is helping refugees all over our home. Our target to raise this year is £30,000.

Our local charities do so much for our community. And as the first MP in the country to open my home to refugees, I know how much support is required especially when the war in Ukraine shows no sign of ending. It is essential we continue to play our part in Norfolk to help those finding safety here.

A list of all the successful charities can be found on my website and how you can generously support them is found at www.duncanbaker.org.uk/marathon2022.

From animal welfare to cancer charities or the arts scene to charities that look after children, every single good cause has a special place in our heart.

As Parliament breaks for the Summer, I will be

July News

embarking on my Summer Tour again, getting all round our constituency to pick up your issues and try to ensure I can help fix them for you. But before that, I will be spending my first week of the Summer volunteering with the ambulance service. This year I pledged to not be an MP who just talked about issues that affect us, but actually rolled up my sleeves to understand the problems we all face better.

After volunteering in a care home at Easter, this time I will be supporting our East of England Ambulance Service. We know all our health systems have been placed under enormous strain following the pandemic.

I work with so many of them but many of us know the ambulance service has seen particular pressure. I hope my week will help inform me more as I return to Parliament to continue raising the issue and to ensure we can improve our response times for all.

Away from raising money and volunteering, my work in Parliament is bearing fruit.

Continual lobbying for better mental health provision in North Norfolk has seen very productive talks at Cromer Hospital as I campaign to bring specific mental health walk in support to our fabulous local hospital.

Equally, dentistry is another of my key campaigns. My Father is

the retired NHS dentist in Fakenham. He worked in the NHS for 34 years and as such I have a real insight and passion for improving dentistry. We are in early-stage discussions for a dental training school at the UEA and vital changes to the profession are on the cards thanks to my campaigning.

I look forward to seeing you in the Summer, on my tour of the villages and towns or just simply jogging as I get in shape for the London marathon and raise even more money for local good causes!

Helping your children onto the property ladder

by Diane Raven, Chartered Legal Executive, Solicitor, Hayes + Storr Solicitors

If you have savings, you may prefer to help your child now rather than pass on those assets through inheritance, but it is important to make sure you still have enough left for your own needs. These could change over time, for example when you retire or if you need long term care.

Have you thought about: • if you or your partner die or become seriously ill and need care; • if you were to divorce; • if your child divorces or remarries; • if your child becomes unable to work or earn as much; or • implications on any siblings or other dependants.

Having a written record will help with the administration of your estate and reduce the risk of misunderstanding or a dispute between family members.

Making a gift or a loan Deciding at the outset whether your contribution is a gift or a loan is key.

For a gift of a lump sum: most mortgage lenders will require a ‘gifted deposit letter’ which confirms the relationship between you and the recipient and that you have no beneficial interest in the property.

For a loan: you should set out the terms for repayment and any interest payable.

registering a charge at the land registry The preparation of a legal charge and its registration at the Land Registry could be the most secure way to protect your interest, ultimately allowing you to force the sale of the property should the borrower fail to repay the loan.

While your child may have every intention of repaying at the time of the loan, circumstances can change, for example through relationship breakdown or premature death. a declaration of trust If your child is buying with a friend or partner, we can prepare a declaration of trust to take account of your contribution and ensure that you can influence the treatment of its value in the future.

Prenuptial or postnuptial agreement If you are making a significant financial contribution, you may also want to protect it from a potential marriage break-up with a pre- or postnuptial agreement.

Personal guarantees Instead of contributing a lump sum, you could help your child by becoming a parental guarantor or a joint borrower. In either case, you would potentially be liable for all the outstanding debt which could put your own home at risk. springboard mortgages A springboard mortgage allows someone with

a small deposit, typically five per cent, to borrow if their parents place an equivalent proportion of the property’s value in cash in a deposit account as security. The mortgage lender can access those savings to make up any missed payments.

tax and other implications If you have a beneficial interest in the property or intend to share in any uplift in its value, you should carefully consider your potential liability for capital gains tax.

A lump sum contribution should not create any immediate liability for inheritance tax.

However, if you die within seven years, HMRC could class it as part of your estate.

Your contribution could also affect your eligibility for funding for long term care from your local authority, who could argue you have intentionally deprived yourself of your assets.

Weather Forecast

The previous three months have been notable especially for their lack of meaningful rain and recent Mediterranean days.

www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

26

July is likely to settle down from the second week as pressure starts to rise.

We still may suffer on the coast as far as temperatures go because of below average sea temperatures. August will continue with the settled pattern in the first part of the month with spikes of very warm or hot days but will become more unsettled with temperature overall only coming out at average for the month. September should be an improvement on the latter days of August with a good deal of fine weather but again temperatures will be average. The tropical Atlantic is showing little sign of storm development.

Keep the Wheels Turning!

The Society’s fl flagship agship locomotive

The Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway Society is a local charity with over 2,000 members – all love railways, especially the heritage kind. The Society is named after a company that operated a railway across Norfolk in the early 20th century which, over the years, never quite lost its M&GN identity.

The charity was founded in 1959 and has been successful in developing its strategies and responding well to challenges – so much so it now has assets of over £3 million. Our head office is in Sheringham and many of our activities are undertaken in close co-operation with the North Norfolk Railway where most of our Collection can be found.

The Society owns full size steam and diesel locomotives, vintage coaches and wagons but it takes many hands to help achieve our principle aim of restoring, operating and maintaining the vehicles and artefacts. We are in need of more volunteers to help us in our endeavours.

Summer 2022

No. 193 £5.00

Joint Line is a quarterly magazine given free to members. The editor is retiring next year so we require someone to be, in the first instance, assistant editor and to take the reigns next summer.

The work involves editing and commissioning articles (though much of the content is provided by volunteer colleagues), page layout and photo preparation, both in readiness for the commercial printer. The work could be undertaken by a small group with individual responsibilities. Either way, we would be delighted to hear from you – appropriate software is provided.

As has been found by so many volunteer-based organisations, the pandemic has resulted in a drop in regular and occasional volunteers hence why encouraging new people is a priority for us and to have new trustees to help run the charity.

Some of the current vacancies are described on this page but we also would welcome people with experience in: • metalwork and woodwork for our restorations • media relations • digital media and IT • graphic design, exhibitions and As well as online, we have a bookshop • museum operation at Weybourne station that, as with the museum, cannot open unless we have the We have a need for ‘back staff.

It is a rewarding job if you enjoy chatting to people and, at times, enlightening them!

Full training will be given. www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

If you are interested in volunteering, details of the Society are on our website (www.mandgn.org) where you can also become a member. If you would like further information about any of the vacancies, please email our Secretary, Richard Spicker (richard.spicker@mandgn.org).

Big Norfolk Holiday Fun Opens for Summer Bookings

Children across Norfolk can benefit from a range of fun activities this summer, as the Big Norfolk Holiday Fun scheme returns for the six-week school holiday.

Bookings are now open for the scheme, which provides free activities with a healthy lunch for children eligible for means tested free school meals.

The scheme is delivered by Norfolk County Council in partnership with Active Norfolk and supports children aged 5 to 16 as part of the government’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.

Cllr John Fisher, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services at Norfolk County Council: “We want our summer Big Norfolk Holiday Fun scheme to be the best yet and we’ve got an even wider range of activities on offer, including mechanics, performing arts, outdoor challenges and activities around mental health and wellbeing.”

“The programme provides children with a host of fun activities and helps parents to reduce their childcare costs. With so much choice available, children should be able to find something that they have a genuine interest in, and the scheme has the potential to inspire future careers, hobbies, and skills.”

“We’ve had great feedback from children and young people who have taken part in the past, so I’d encourage families to get booking on what promises to be a fantastic summer programme. We know it is a welcome support for many families during the school holidays.”

Activities will be running from 25 July to 2 September where children will have the opportunity to learn a new skill, play a range of sports or take part in a host of activities such as outdoor adventures, science workshops, cooking, art, and lots more.

Those who have taken part in previous Big Norfolk Holiday Fun programmes have reported ddoing more physical activity and

many have said they’ve been inspired to try healthier foods.

The summer programme is now open for bookings for children aged 5-16 (or 4 if they turn 5 in August).

Those who are eligible for means-tested free school meals can claim free spaces, whilst paid spots for a small charge are available on many activities for those who don’t qualify for a free place, more can be found on this at www.norfolk.gov.uk/bignorfolkholidayfun

This year there will be no special codes needed to book activities making it much easier for families to take part. Families are encouraged to explore the wide range of activities available and book as soon as possible.

Find out further information on how to book and the video ‘What is Big Norfolk Holiday Fun?’ gives a great summary of the scheme.

First Look at Plans for New £1.65m Recycling Centre at Sheringham

Plans have been unveiled for a large new recycling centre at Sheringham, intended to replace the current site and serve as a new recycling centre for the area. Norfolk County Council is now asking for people’s thoughts on the proposed site location and design.

Councillor Eric Vardy, Cabinet Member for Environment and Waste, and County Councillor for the Holt division (where the current recycling centre is located), said: “We want to deliver a new recycling centre with plenty of parking, a one-way system to cut queues, and that has space for a reuse shop. The new and much larger site is designed to make it easier for people to use, help increase recycling rates, and ensure the area has a recycling centre that’s fit for the future. I urge residents to look at the plans and have their say.”

County councillors allocated £1.65m funding in February 2019 for this part of Norfolk’s ongoing recycling centre improvement

programme.

The new recycling centre would have: • a reuse shop • plenty of parking spaces • a one-way system for smooth traffic flow and reduced queues • separate public and service areas (which means it would not need to close for waste collection lorries, as is the case at the current site) • a ‘pay as you throw’ section for DIY waste and a trade service for small businesses

The new site would be located on land opposite the existing Sheringham recycling centre and accessed from the A148 Holt Road. A new junction with the A148 is proposed to improve

visibility in both directions.

Cllr Judy Oliver, County Councillor for the Sheringham division (where the new recycling centre would be located), said: “We want to ensure the new site meets people’s needs so we’re asking people to take a look at the plans and let us know your thoughts. This feedback will help to shape the design at this early stage before we take our proposals through the planning process.”

The consultation is open from 1 July to 31 July 2022. To take part in the consultation you can visit www.norfolk.gov.uk/

Following the consultation, Norfolk County Council hopes to submit the planning application in autumn 2022. If approved, construction is expected to start in summer 2023 and the new site could be open in late 2023 to early 2024.

Covid-19 has impacted on charities quite noticeably over the last couple of years, with reports of an increase in a demand for their services and support and with them struggling to actually fund their services with the restrictions imposed. However, on Tuesday 21st of June, four local charities received a must needed boost in the form of a cheque donation for the sum of £1250 each from the North Walsham Trafalgar Branch of the Oddfellows.

In addition, reading for pleasure has so many proven benefits including developing empathy by identifying with characters and improving mental wellbeing.

Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System Launch of NHS Norfolk and Waveney and the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System – 1 July 2022

NHS Norfolk and Waveney has replaced the area’s clinical commissioning group, as part of changes to the health and care landscape which see each part of the country have what is known as an Integrated Care System (ICS).

Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are partnerships of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of people in their area.

As a result of the new Health and Care Act, Norfolk and Waveney ICS will have legal status and will include a statutory Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), and a new NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) called NHS Norfolk and Waveney.

NHS Norfolk and Waveney replaces NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). As well as taking on the existing responsibilities of the CCG, the new organisation will be accountable for the performance and finances of the NHS across Norfolk and Waveney - a total budget of £2 billion a year.

Norfolk and Waveney ICP will also be established as a formal alliance of partners with a role in improving the health and wellbeing of our residents.

Norfolk and Waveney ICP will bring together the NHS, local government, the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and other partners to focus on prevention, wider social and economic factors affecting people’s health and reducing health inequalities.

In Norfolk and Waveney, we have already achieved a lot by working in partnership; this has been strengthened through our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These changes have been made possible by different organisations – NHS hospitals, GPs, mental health and community health services, local councils, care homes and social workers, voluntary and community organisations and others – joining forces to agree and plan for local people’s needs.

As a whole system, working together, we’ve set ourselves three goals.

Collectively, we want to make sure that people can live as healthy a life as possible, make sure that people only have to tell their story once and to make Norfolk and Waveney the best place to work in health and care.

Like all integrated Care systems in england, we will work to: ● improve outcomes in population health and healthcare

● tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access ● enhance productivity and value for money ● support broader social and economic development.

Rt Hon, Patricia Hewitt, Chair of the Norfolk and Waveney ICS and Chair of NHS Norfolk and Waveney said: “There is nothing more important than our own and our family’s health. It’s why, as a country, we treasure the NHS, social care services and its dedicated staff. But vital though it is, the NHS only accounts for a fraction of our physical and mental health and wellbeing. All the rest depends on other things: our environment - whether we have decent work, enough money, close family and friends, a warm home, clean air - and our own lifestyles.

“The development of our Integrated Care System is a unique opportunity to bring together the many different partners who support the health and wellbeing of Norfolk and Waveney’s almost 1.1 million residents: the staff and organisations working in the NHS and social care; local government with its responsibilities for public health, social care, housing, leisure and the environment; the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector; and many others in the public and private sectors.

“Although we started working together well before the pandemic, the COVID-19 vaccination programme showed how our GPs, nurses and other staff in primary and community care could work together with their local council, community and faith groups, mobilising volunteers and drawing on the support of the wider system to create one of the most successful vaccination schemes in the country. That local approach will be the foundation of our Integrated Care System, supported by health and wellbeing partnerships that bring together local government with the voluntary sector, the NHS and other key partners.

“Just as local people know best what their community needs if they are to flourish, each of us is the expert in our own lives. And all of us have a responsibility for our own health and wellbeing. So, our Integrated Care System will have at its heart a constant process of listening to people, learning from their experience and acting on what we hear.

“We now have a unique opportunity to build on what we’ve achieved, to tackle the backlog of waiting lists left by the pandemic and to transform and integrate care around the needs of people, families and communities. By working together, we can help people lead longer, healthier, happier lives.”

Tracey Bleakley, Chief Executive Officer of NHS Norfolk and Waveney, said: “In Norfolk and Waveney our NHS organisations, councils, public services and voluntary and community partners are working much more closely together. We are joining up to tackle all the things that affect our health and wellbeing, listen to the priorities of our communities, local people and patients and tackle some of the biggest challenges we are all facing.

From

“This is a new and exciting way of working, creating a genuine partnership that will make a positive difference to local people and help join up health and social care. This is the culmination of many years of effort to build partnership working across the NHS, local authorities, the third sector and patient groups.”

Cllr Bill Borrett, Chair of the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), said: “Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic we saw just how vital it is that all the organisations in the health and care sector work together to meet the needs of the people of Norfolk and Waveney. Each part of the system is staffed by incredibly hard working, dedicated people, but if we don’t make sure their work is coordinated across the board, we won’t get the best results for our communities.

“The new ICS is the first step towards a wider ranging, holistic approach to health and social care, that our residents expect and deserve. I look forward to creating a system where the whole process, from the first GP appointment to the long-term care package, gives people consistent, informed support that doesn’t require them to spend hours answering the same questions over and over to different organisations. There’s a lot of work for the ICS to do, but that work has already started and will ensure that people across Norfolk and Waveney will receive health and care services that meet their needs across the board.”

Alex Stewart, Chief Executive of Healthwatch Norfolk, said: “On behalf of Norfolk and Waveney patients, we welcome anything that brings the varied areas of health and social care together. Time and time again, people feel that different people, services and departments do not talk to each other, care is fragmented, and patients and their families have to repeat their experiences over and over again.

“It is encouraging that the aim of this new system is to ensure health and social care works more closely together and we will do all we can to help with this process ensuring ICS leaders are aware of what patients, their loved ones and carers feel about how they are looked after across Norfolk.” www.improvinglivesnw.org.uk

My First Car – Freedom and Frustration

How many remember their first car? Most, I guess. Mine was a sit-up-and-beg Ford Popular. It cost £160 and quickly became a mixture of exhilaration and frustration. Being free from the uncertainties of bus timetables was great. But the car wasn’t exactly state of the art.

OK it hadn’t got a heater. But it hadn’t got brakes either - well, not in the modern, meaningful sense of the word. You had to plan ahead if you wanted to make sure of seeing tomorrow.

Then there was the gear lever, which was more like a walking stick, and which seemed only

vaguely connected to the gearbox. Getting a gear meant stirring it around hopefully and waiting to find out which one you got.

The windscreen wiper was a thing of mystery.

If you went up hill it would slow down. If the hill was steep or long the wiper would decide to halt altogether. An engineer friend told me it worked off the carburettor. Such were the wonders of modern science in those days!

The car had those semaphore indicators which flopped out when you wanted to turn. But it had its own agenda and would usually decide not to operate until I had gone round the corner.

In fairness the car did give me a freedom I had never had before. It also caused me more than one very embarrassing moment.

Fancy dress parties were all the rage then and I was going to one dressed as a gorilla. The host told me where to find his place. So, I turned right at the traffic lights and followed the unlit road. Very soon it became clear this was not where I should be. So, after stirring

The car came to a very gentle rest, refused to move and the engine died. I got out wondering if I had reversed into a black hole. Turned out it was a large pile of sand which had blocked the exhaust pipe.

I managed to push the vehicle off the sand and set about finding something to unblock the exhaust. In those days cars had a thing called a starting handle. Having groped around inside I eventually found it - under the driver’s seat.

It fitted the exhaust pipe perfectly (must have been a designed for such occasions?). With the starting handle well and truly engaged I was starting to clear it when I felt a presence.

Looking round I saw a pair of big black boots attached to some formal-looking trousers.

“Evening sir,” said the policeman. “If I may be as bold as to say I think you have the starting handle in the wrong end of the car.” He then turned to go and as he did so I heard him say “even a gorilla would know that, ha ha….”

Is your Tattoo stopping you from moving forward in life? would you like to have it removed in a painless, scar less way with the latest technology? Fractional laser tattoo removal and other new developments are here.

In many parts of the world greater than 15% of adults have tattoos. It is estimated that 50% of those receiving tattoos will want to have them removed within 10 years of their application.

Tattoos can have negative associations and can be a hindrance in obtaining certain jobs.

Coltishall Clinic has announced the arrival of new high powered lasers. “The last few years have been very exciting for us and we have continued to invest in training and education and to add new services to our treatment menu”, says practice manager Trish. “We already have 25 different lasers in addition to other state-of-theart devices. Now we have added another fractional Q-switched Nd-Yag laser ‘ the goldstandard tattoo removal laser’ which will help us remove most colours in tattoos, but also treat

Coltishall Clinic LASER TATTOO REMOVAL Because we all make mistakes

people with deeper pigmentation and sun spots”.

what methods of tattoo removal are available?

We must stress that older methods of tattoo removal are now outdated and have been replaced by better technology. These methods included dermabrasion, chemical peels, destruction of tattoo ink by various forms of injectable substances. These methods used to remove the part of skin with the tattoo! The results were less than desirable due to unacceptable scarring and poor cosmetic outcome.

why are Q switched tattoo removal lasers so good?

Q switched lasers produce very high powered and short nanosecond [one billionth of a second] pulses of light that shatter and disperse pigment particles without damaging the skin. Consequently ink particles are removed and surrounding skin is not damaged. This dramatically reduces the risk

of scarring. We have 5 dedicated lasers for this.

what is fractional Laser tattoo removal treatment?

This is newest technology that allows us to drill microscopic holes into the tattoo allowing for much better ink clearance.

is the Laser tattoo removal treatment permanent?

Yes. Doctors and Laser therapists at the Coltishall Clinic have many years experience with IPL and lasers. We specialise in ‘no downtime’ gentle laser facials to more invasive laser resurfacing procedures and ‘knifeless’ laser surgery for lumps, bumps and skin tags in addition to botox, dermal fillers, leg vein treatments and full range of cosmetic surgery.

Sheringham Stroke Support Group

Based in Sheringham we cover most of North Norfolk from Wells to Waxham and the hinterland from Fakenham to Stalham.

We are an affiliated member of the Stroke Association which is the only UK wide charity concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke. Their website is stroke.org.uk and is worth a good look. They supply free help books on almost every subject concerned with stroke and they work closely with local groups.

We are an independent local self-financing group who are here for all Stroke survivors and their carers. We enjoy a social afternoon twice a month in the smaller hall at St. Andrews Methodist Church, Cromer Road Sheringham NR 26 8SA, near Tesco. Meeting at 2.15p for 2.30pm start we aim to finish between 3.45 and 4pm.

Our last four meetings have included a talk by a female lifeboat shore crew member; a speaker from Headway – the brain injury association – who gave us insight into how the brain works to repair itself following injury. We heard about a 1960’s childhood from a local author who brought along various objects and items to demonstrate how we used to live. This brought many smiles and happy memories. On May 11th we had an interesting talk from a badminton official and adjudicator at the 2012 and 2020 (2021) Olympic Games and many other high profile international competitions. She spoke about her role as an official and line judge, her selection to travel the world representing Britain for 8 years and showed us several of the everyday and special occasion uniforms she was expected to wear. Some were more comfortable than others in hot weather!

The 2012 London Olympics blazer was particularly notable by its clever inclusion of London landmarks in the design. Also, her various lanyard official passes, to be worn at all times, were adorned with small gifts and lovely small souvenirs. Needless to say, she has been and still is a very good badminton player herself.

The Three Frogs

Three frogs went leaping o’er hill and dale, To catch the moon in a wooden pail.

Then as they leapt down a lonely road, They met a fat and jolly toad.

“Sir Toad”, all three at once did cry, “Have you seen the moon go by”?

“Why yes indeed”, the toad replied.

And laughed until he nearly died.

“The moon lies yonder, behind the hill, That’s where you’ll find him if you will”.

So off leapt the frogs with cries of glee, And they’ll leap for all eternity.

Seven weeks hence, on 3rd September, the Vikings begin life in National 2 East home to Canterbury. It’s 15 years since they played at this level – the fourth tier of English rugby - following two successive promotions.

Canterbury are the only opponents for next season whom they also played in 2007-8. Of the others Ealing and London Scottish are in the Championship, Cinderford and Rosslyn Chris Godwin Wimbledon Park National One, Dings Crusaders National 2 West but the rest are in lower leagues. Chris Godwin is the only current Viking who played back then, although Director of Rugby James Knight debuted the previous season before joining Bedford.

at a higher level. We’ll continue to work hard to improve, play an attractive but adaptable brand of rugby, put team before self and above all enjoy ourselves.” During the close season the floodlights have been upgraded and volunteers have worked hard on the pitches, with the Club grateful to Ernest Doe North Walsham loaning a Verti Drain.

Three more Valkyries have made the step towards semi professionalism with Lauren Leone joining Alexander Doe at the Saracens Centre of Excellence, Libby McLeod going to Leicester Academy and Sophie Sherman following Beth Cass and Bonnie Oakley to Saracens’ Academy.

Finally, a reminder of the Minis Summer Camp for current year groups 2 to 7 from 25 – 28 July, details on the Club website.

Training started last week. James commenting, “we’ve come a long way in the past few years and are looking forward to testing ourselves

Lilly Dear achieved a hat-trick of gold medals when she swam for North Norfolk Vikings Swimming Club at the UEA in a development gala promoted by Great Yarmouth Swimming Club.

In a very close 50m freestyle, Lilly just out touched Anita Edelinski of Great Yarmouth by just under a second to capture her first gold. However, her second success was the 50m breaststroke when the 10-year-old swam four seconds faster than her best to win in 54.60 and ironically beating runner up Charlotte Dev-Sherman of the Norwich Swan Club by the same margin. In the 50m backstroke, Lilly was the clear winner in 49.53 from fellow Viking Grace Parker's 52.16 who took a well-earned silver.

There was a pleasant surprise when debutant Isla Cartwright took a double gold. In the 25m freestyle.

The 8-year-old brought it home in 24.85 with an The Viking Team at the UEA outstanding ten second Lily with her three gold medals margin but in the 25m backstroke only the electronic timing could separate her and teammate Edith Hopkins when Isla won in 28.24 from Edith's silver medal time of 28.66 respectively.

Vikings took back-to-back wins in the over 11-year age group on 25m butterfly in both the boys' and girls' races. Team Captain Bebe King scored 21.88 in a close race and Razvan Platon won in 26.23. It was a double gold too for 9-year-old Reuben Seaman of Aylsham in the 50m backstroke with 49.37 and 51.86 for his butterfly over the same distance. Single golds were awarded to Baille Beighten in the 25m breaststroke in 32.46 and newcomer to the Lily with her three gold club Mimi Hinton-Upward 31.91 also over the medals same distance respectively.

With the addition of Toby Caufield, Rosa Sadler, Layla Callaby and Amiyah Hawes in the team, the Vikings won 11 Golds,7 Silvers and 5 Bronze Medals: the most in a gals for a very long time.
