The Vikings great form continued in February with three wins and one defeat.

The latter came at Hertford with victory at Sutton sandwiched between home successes versus Brighton and Westcombe Park. Only at Hertford did they fail to score the four tries necessary for a bonus point; at Sutton they ran in seven and against Westcombe Park six, with newcomer Shaun Blyth getting three across those two matches.

It remains very tight at the top of London & Southeast Premier: ahead of the 5 March fixtures, and with six games left, Dorking were top with 84, followed by Sevenoaks (83), Vikings (79) and Hertford (76). Sevenoaks were due at Scottow Park on the 5th with Dorking visiting four weeks later. Two teams are likely to be promoted.

Two players now at Leicester who began their rugby careers at Scottow have made their mark internationally. George Loose from Trunch was selected for England Under 18s against France at Saint-Raphael on 5th March, whilst Jack van Poortvliet was Six Nations Under 20s Player of the Championship.

Salvation Army receives funding to help feed vulnerable people and families

The Club hosts two Festivals during March.

On the 13th the Valkyries will be amongst around 350 girls at an Eastern Counties Festival, on the 20th it’s the Minis Festival.

Two home League fixtures for the Vikings this next month: Tunbridge Wells this Saturday (12th) and Dorking 2nd April. They also play Diss in the Norfolk Cup on the 19th. Raiders are at home on the 26th versus Cottenham and Cambridge 3rds a week later.

The Salvation Army in Norfolk has been awarded funding to help feed vulnerable people and families in the county.

The church and charity is being supported by the Norfolk Community Foundation through its Household Support Fund to purchase and distribute food parcels.

The Salvation Army is an international Christian church and registered charity which has been transforming lives for more than 150 years. Working in 132 countries worldwide, it offers friendship, practical help and support for people at all levels of need. In the UK and Ireland, this work includes more than 650 community churches and social centres.

Major Howard Russell, leader of the Salvation Army in Norfolk, said the funding would have a significant impact.

He added: “We are very thankful to have received these funds and this was an amazing and generous grant. Support for our ongoing work with food parcels is always welcome but this grant is particularly timely because of the extremely high demand for assistance. Households are being hit by high inflation with fuel prices soaring and price hikes on many essential food items.”

Claire Cullens, Chief Executive, said: “Norfolk Community Foundation is delighted to support this much needed project that will make a real difference in the community. We wish The Salvation Army every success with their work.”

If you’d like to find out more information about The Salvation Army in Norfolk, please telephone 01279 219811 or email EastofEngland@salvationarmy.org.uk

THE BRIGANTINE A northerly gale Lay full astern, With short steep waves To remind us.

We shield our eyes From the briny spray, That’s blowing fit To blind us.

Then a holler from The masthead…

“Deck ahoy!

A full’ rigged Brig, Runnin’ wi’ the wind; Closin’ fast behind us!”

“Hard a starb’d” The skipper yells…

“Get two more men on The wheel!”

We hold on for dear life, To what we can grab, As the ship begins to ‘heel’.

The reckless Brig goes Plunging by; To hail her crew we strive…

Dear God have mercy on us, And grant we all survive.

A host of skeletons sail the ship; No mortal soul alive!

NORTH WALSHAM POOR’S ALLOTMENT CHARITY

A Note from the editor

It’s okay, you can come out of hibernation now.

The sun is putting in the odd appearance, the temperature is rising, and shoots are starting to break through in the garden. Spring is nearly here!

Registered Charity No: 214445

ARE YOU IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

because of household debts, ill-health, benefit changes, unemployment, extra school or college expenses?

I don’t know about you, but I always feel better as the days lengthen and everything seems to be waking up and getting going. Speaking of which, remember the clocks go forward on 27th March, those lighter evenings are a sign that summer is not that far away.

Would a small grant help to ease the problem and give you the chance to get back in control?

Now is the opportunity to apply for a small financial grant available for people living in North Walsham, with preference given to Applicants who have lived within the parish for at least three years and are able to demonstrate their needs to the Trustees.

Applications from individuals, or organisations working to support residents of North Walsham, are accepted.

Any grants awarded are paid directly to a supplier, a school or an agency but no money is given to the applicant. Documents to support the application are required. Please contact the Clerk.

The next meeting of the Trustees will be Tuesday 26th April, applications to be submitted by Tuesday 19th April 2022 If you, or someone you know, might benefit from support from such a grant, please contact the Clerk.

The 27th is also Mother’s Day so don’t forget the card and some flowers, maybe an afternoon out or Sunday lunch and don’t leave her with the washing up for a change.

Whatever you are up to, enjoy your March magazine.

Keep safe and well.

Jo – Editor.

Employment Law: Settlement Agreements

A settlement agreement (previously known as a comprise agreement) is a legally binding, voluntary contract between an employer and employee.

The contract provides that an employee agrees not to pursue any claims against the employer in a tribunal or court in exchange for the payment of a severance sum to the employee.

A settlement agreement may be appropriate where the employment relationship is continuing, but it is most common for these agreements to be entered into where the employment has terminated (or is about to do so).

Since many businesses have faced financial difficulties during the pandemic, it’s likely that the use of settlement agreements will be favoured by employers. This will give employers peace of mind as it will remove any risks of employment-related claims being brought by employees and will firmly draw a line under the employment relationship.

What should you do if your employer offers you a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement will not be valid unless the employee has received independent legal advice on the terms and effect of the settlement agreement and in particular its effect on their ability to bring a tribunal claim under the relevant legislation.

As an employee will be waiving their right to

pursue any claims, the adviser will consider whether the employee has any claims and will advise on the prospects of success of those claims, along with the potential compensation a successful claim would attract. Under most circumstances, the employer usually contributes towards the cost of receiving that advice.

Whilst the adviser is not required to consider whether the employee is getting a “good deal”, this is certainly something that can be discussed.

If the employee wishes to negotiate for an increase in the compensation payment, this is something the adviser can undertake on their behalf.

Meet Head of Department Nicola Strefford Nicola Strefford, Head of the firm’s employment team, has over 13 years' legal experience gained in both private practice and local government. She has extensive involvement in advising on a range of employment issues to employees and has an excellent record for achieving successful outcomes for her clients.

Nicola was recently awarded the ‘Rising Star’ award in The Legal 500; the leading guide of the best law firms and solicitors in the UK.

Settlement Agreements for Employees At Clapham & Collinge LLP, our dedicated team of employment lawyers have a wealth of experience in advising employees on settlement agreements. We have advised many employees across Norfolk on the terms of their

settlement agreement and where appropriate have offered support in negotiations when needed.

Settlement Agreements for Employers As an employer, there are a number of legal obligations to be considered when offering an employee a settlement agreement. We can assist with preparing the settlement agreement, advise on each stage of consultations and draw up the final settlement agreement. Our employment team are highly experienced in advising employers on settlement agreements, ensuring your business is protected and you fully comply with your legal obligations.

If you’re an employee and you’ve received a settlement agreement, or you’re an employer and you require assistance in the settlement agreement process, contact Clapham & Collinge LLP for straightforward and practical employment law advice.

Small Furries at Age Concern North Norfolk Caring for small animals is usually a childhood experience that we look back on with wonder and love.

coming to the centre and visits such as this bring out their caring skills, memories of childhood or having pets for their own children and helping with relaxation.

This is especially important for people who are sometimes more agitated in the afternoon and we have evidence that this type of activity calms people and takes their minds off themselves.

We had the visit of six beautifullycoloured female guinea pigs from Cavies and Cakes of Fakenham.

Half of our support workers have completed Level 2 training in Dementia and our centre is a great resource for people living with dementia and their carers.

All of our female clients fully embraced the opportunity to cuddle and feed them – our gentlemen were a little more reticent however!

Guinea pigs live for around 6 years and can produce 2-5 young – all born with full coats and eyes open.

Guinea pigs graze constantly so our ladies had a lovely time feeding them with bits of carrot and lettuce.

Places are available Tuesday to Friday – phone 01263 821188 to book a Half Price Taster Day.

Cavies and Cakes have a café where the guinea pigs are on show in their cages so perhaps we will arrange an outing in the warmer weather to see them and enjoy a cream cake or two ourselves!

We are always looking for ways to stimulate the senses of people

Do you have a heart for older people?

Davy Crockett - A Bear’s Worst Friend

By David Abbott

Davy Crockett “killed him a bear when he was only three” according to the song. He never did. Nor did he ever claim to have done so. But the very suggestion was not taken kindly by the big grizzly fraternity. They felt humans and Walt Disney in particular were taking liberties.

During his life he didn’t always make good career moves - especially his last when he sided with the Republicans, working mainly as a tracker.

Crockett’s life came to an end in a famous finale: the Battle of the Alamo. In March 1836 Mexican troops breached the Alamo defences and killed all 200 defenders, Crockett included.

Some say he was the last man standing. If true that would have been a fitting way for him to have bowed out.

You don’t mess with these bears: 800 lbs of fur, fat and muscle. They can give you nasty stare - and if you’re unlucky you become lunch.

Born in Tennessee Crockett had a colourful life as a politician, soldier, frontiersman, huntsman and tracker. Hard to know how he found time for it all.

Crockett ’s fame lived on long after his death.

One hundred and eighteen years later a Walt Disney film and song by one Fess Parker made it fashionable for kids at the time to wear an animal on their heads. Every day 5,000

Having left school and home at 13 he set out on his chequered career. Crockett tried his hand at everything from farming to manufacturing wood barrels and gunpowder, but his forte was as a professional hunter.

Crockett:”Hi, Mr Bear.”

Bear: “Hello Funny Hat Man”.

Crockett:”I could do with a new fur coat.”

Bear:”Come on then if you think you’re hard enough.”

Crockett: You got big claws. Me got big gun.” BANG.

Crockett was often in the news. In 1835 he helped save America’s seventh President, Andrew Jackson’s life after a gunman tried to assassinate him.

Crockett wrestled him to the ground and disarmed the man.

Some young Californian black bears have apparently started behaving strangely approaching humans in a non-aggressive and even friendly manner. One young female walked into a school classroom and sat down with the children. Another tried to get onto a snowboard along with its user. A brain infection has been suggested as the cause.

Would such behaviour have endeared them to Crockett?

Probably not.

Most likely he’d have shot them anyway.

That’s what he did!

Crockett’s fondness for hunting dangerous game and the tales he spun about it played a major part in making him a frontier legend. According to one yarn, he killed a bear in a hand to paw fight, stabbing it in the heart with a butcher’s knife. The bear may have begged to differ. In fact, he shot them all.

Living in them there hills Crockett got to understand bears. You can imagine the conversation:

Post-script.

He spent much of his life stalking grizzlies in the Tennessee woods, selling their pelts, meat and oil for profit. He claimed to have bagged 105 in seven months during the winter of 1825-26. Which didn’t exactly endear him to the local bear community (or what was left of it).

Dressed in buckskin jacket and trousers he looked the part. But the coonskin hat didn’t do him any favours. Children asked why he was wearing a squirrel on his head. Still in the end it didn’t do his image any harm and he became known as “King of the Wild Frontier”.

coonskin hats were being sold. Have you still got yours?!

You can find full details under Live Music on Sharrington’s website: www.sharrington.org.uk or on our Sharrington Live Music Facebook page.

Be a Real part of The Holt Festival Saturday 23rd Saturday 30th July 2022

We were due to welcome The Strawbs on Saturday April 30th, but Dave Cousins has sadly had to cancel all his gigs this year Their place has been taken by the extremely talented and versatile singer/songwriter, Ken Nicol, a long-time member of Steeleye Span and who has also been a member of The Albion Band and Magna Carta. He's regarded by many as one of the best guitarists in this country and is a brilliant entertainer who has also appeared on Al Stewart albums and many more. He'll be accompanied by Wendy Ross on electric violin. Wendy has also played with a wide variety of well-known acts. Full details of the gig along with how to purchase tickets, which are £15, appear on our above-mentioned website.

The Holt Festival came back with a bang in 2021 and plans are well advanced for 2022 which we will be able to share with you soon. As ever, we will be offering a varied programme of music, art, drama and literature from an exciting range of performers.

At the heart of the Festival are some very special people, our Volunteer Team.

They generously support the Festival by giving their time, and every year, we look to bring new members into the Team. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer in a variety of roles over the coming months and particularly during Festival week. Even if you are only able to offer a few hours of your time, we’d love to hear from you.

Besides concerts, where we welcome performers from across the country, the hall also provides a stage for quality Norfolk musicians. Our first music evening after this concert will be on Saturday 26th March when we welcome the wellknown North Norfolk band, The Fried Pirates. This versatile group offers a wide variety of uplifting music and play a variety of instruments. It should be a fantastic evening. Tickets are only £5 each and are limited to 60. If you would like to purchase one, or indeed be added to our mailing list to get the first chance of purchasing tickets, please contact Chris at sharringtonvh@gmail.com

Also, Interns can join the Volunteer Team every year as the Festival has identified roles that will provide excellent experience for undergraduates planning to work in Event Management.

We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful, recently renovated hall.

Doors open at 7pm, when our licensed bar opens, and events commence at 7.30pm

If you would be interested in a Festival Internship, please contact us.

For more information on joining the Volunteer Team, please call Susan Williams, Volunteer Manager, on 07714 449547.

Blakeney Village Hall Film Night "The Courier" (12A) starring Benedict Cumberbatch March 18th at 6.30 for 7.00pm Tickets £5, Refreshments & Bar

The North Norfolk Railway has announced that over 143,000 visitors travelled on the 5½ mile heritage line during its 2021/22 financial year which ended last week. The popular 5½ mile heritage line was forced to close between Christmas 2020 and April 2021, then endured three-months where only limited operations were possible but rallied in the second half of the year to welcome a total of 143,632 passengers.

Graham Hukins, Commercial Manager, commented, “This is a very strong result in the circumstances, and we are looking forward to a more normal season in 2022. Pre-Covid, we would expect to carry around 160,000 visitors in a full year, so we are very pleased with the 2021 result which is a testament to our volunteers and staff who ensured we delivered great experience for visitors.

He added, “Since the New Year, the team been busy with a huge amount of work behind the scenes to get ready for this year and we’re looking forward to

running trains and welcoming visitors over the rest of the year.”

The work has included annual servicing of steam and diesel engines, repainting some of the line’s vintage carriages, track maintenance, clearing vegetation from the lineside and revarnishing the wooden floors at the line’s three stations.

“Looking after historic locomotives, carriages, track and buildings is a huge year-round effort, “explained Graham, “but there are some tasks that can only be carried out when we’re closed to the public.

He added, “We’ve also looked at ways to ensure today’s passengers get the most out of their visit so have compiled an information flyer to help visitors explore Sheringham, Weybourne and Holt stations, and devised an activity sheet for children. Our rover tickets are great value, allowing unlimited travel all day so it’s important that passengers know just how

much history, heritage, scenery and wildlife there is to discover.”

Steam and heritage diesel trains run at weekends in March before the line’s daily service, which operates from 1 April to 30 October, commences. Passengers booking in advance will enjoy special, discounted fares – full details including times and how to book can be found at www.nnrailway.co.uk

Sheringham and Cromer Lions Club

This is to say a big thank you to all the Opticians in North Walsham, including Doctor’s Surgeries, Cromer, Sheringham, Holt, Fakenham and a lady named Jenny who all collect used spectacles for onward transmission via Chichester Lions Club to poor Third World Countries. These glasses make a huge difference to those abroad who have severe problems with their sight.

So far this year we have collected more than ever before and are already sorting out another huge number for onward transmission in the next few weeks.

I cannot tell you all how grateful we are for your support, which also means there are not many pairs wasted in Landfill.

Please keep up the good work and remember if you are interested in our Lions’ work you may contact me, Liz Bowler on 01263 833866 or our Secretary Brian Harris on 01263 821276.

We look forward to a summer of fun helping other needy people. Please contact us if you need support with small local projects in our area.

Our case this month is Millie, a 3 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. She was brought in as an emergency just after New Year. At the time of presentation she was almost lifeless having been badly attacked by 3 other dogs while her owner was out. The incident was completely unexpected, with no history of aggression between the dogs, but the consequences were very significant. She was in shock having lost a lot of blood and had a tremendous number of puncture wounds across her entire body, particularly her limbs.

Initial treatment was aimed at managing her shock and her pain and although she became responsive during the first 24 hours, it was a number of days before she was able to stand.

During that time the severity of her injuries started to become apparent. The trauma to her skin and underlying tissue meant large portions of the skin on her legs was dying and starting to slough off.

Initially these were treated with dressing changes twice a day until the damaged tissue had been removed leaving us with a clearer idea of what skin was still viable. This process took a couple of weeks during which time she required round the clock care to dress her wounds, ensure she stayed clean and had pain relief as and when she required. Fortunately we now have a vet and a nurse on site throughout the night so Millie was able to receive the care she needed.

The trauma to one of Millie’s forelimbs was so bad that the skin all around her lower limb had been devitalised exposing the bone of her radius and ulna. Unfortunately, the extent of the tissue loss meant amputation was the only option. The surgery was performed and her other wounds were closed later that week with Millie eventually being well enough to go home after nearly 3 weeks in the practice.

She is a beautiful dog and a wonderful patient who had an incredible will to survive, which combined with the efforts of the vet and nursing teams meant she was able to walk out of the practice after a trauma that may well have taken her life. She popped in to see us lust this week, wagging her tail, wounds all healed and getting around just fine on three legs!

things we’re good at doing, and producing, much more widely, providing more growth, more jobs, and more prosperity.

Look at what we have.

We have a world-renowned centre of training and excellence in medicine at the University of East Anglia, plus the Norwich Biomedical Research Centre.

We have opportunities for carers, nurses, doctors, and dentists to work in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

I recently heard someone talking about ‘levelling up the North’. I had to correct them: the government’s intention is to level up the whole country.

What does levelling up mean for us here in the East of England, and in North Norfolk?

Well, it’s about recognising that the East is already an enormous success – we are one of only three UK regions to be ‘net contributors’ to the economy, ie. we produce more than the state invests in us.

With more investment, we could sell the many

One third of the UK’s gas comes through Bacton, with countless new opportunities for jobs and research in new carbon net-zero technologies.

The visitor economy of the East of England generates over £10bn a year.

We have start-up and established companies producing everything from space rockets to filming locations and studio facilities for Netflix and Amazon.

What links all of this together is a very special quality that people in the East of England have.

I believe we have more creative minds; more people willing to take risks; and more innovators in this part of the country than almost anywhere else.

So how do we harness what we have and make it even better?

This is where the investment that levelling up will provide is so important. We know that we need better roads and public transport.

We need homes that truly are ‘affordable’, so that our brightest minds can afford to live and work here, rather than leaving the area and going elsewhere.

We need more investment in education and training – such as the highly successful apprenticeships and Restart schemes.

Now that the threat of Covid is beginning to recede and we can begin to look once again towards the future, my job – and that of all the East Anglian MPs – will be to remind everyone that levelling up isn’t just a Northern thing.

We will expect – and demand – that the East of England and North Norfolk receive their fair share too.

We’ve already seen that begin to happen with the huge government investment in North Walsham, and I will continue to advocate for the whole of North Norfolk to benefit in a similar way.

Laser therapy helping pets at Toll Barn Vets

Local Author has new book:

Told at Dusk, Remembered at Dawn

Award winning author of novels, short stories, scripts for screen and stage Laurence Staig has just had a new collection of short stories published: “Told at Dusk, Remembered at Dawn.”

At Toll Barn Vets we believe in constantly providing the highest standard of care for our patients by utilising cutting edge technology to reduce reliance on medication. This is particularly beneficial for chronic conditions and significantly improves our pets’ quality of life.

Best known as a writer of thrillers, mystery and horror this new collection contains 16 uncollected stories and a novella “The Darkness at Taskerlands.”

As part of this commitment we offer our patients Laser Therapy which reduces inflammation and provides pain relief. It is Misty having treatment effective at treating acute and chronic pain as well as improving wound healing. It is most frequently performed in contact with the area being treated, however, for nervous patients it can be used without contact with the body and can also be applied to acupuncture points to achieve similar responses to traditional acupuncture without requiring application of needles.

It is his first new book since his Supernatural Thriller “The Companion” was published a few years ago, when he lived near Bury St Edmunds. Since then, he has moved to a house in Overstrand, thus becoming another local artist who lives in Poppyland.

The stories are a strange mixture of humour and the grotesque: a room with terrible secrets in its walls: a drug that will blow more than just your mind: an art installation to die for: a supermarket poltergeist with an eye for fashion. Sixteen short stories and one novella from a master of the strange, the unusual, the downright unsettling.

Laser therapy is safe, painless and fast with most sessions taking 5-10 minutes per area of treatment and most patients show significant improvement after 3-5 treatment sessions. Laser therapy stimulates the body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity which reduces inflammation, provides pain relief, stimulates nerve regeneration and improves tissue repair often leading to a reduction in requirement for medication and reduced healing times. Laser therapy often forms part of the treatment for osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease (eg hip and elbow dysplasia), intervertebral disc disease (spinal pain), skin disease, post operative wound healing, sprains and strains, treatment of orthopaedic disease (eg cruciate ligament rupture) and periodontal disease. We are one of the few centres within East Anglia to have a Laser suitable to perform these treatments and are happy to discuss the suitability of laser therapy as part of your pets care.

Stephen Jones, World Fantasy Award-winning writer and editor recently wrote of his work: “Laurence Staig is one of the great unsung heroes of British horror and fantasy fiction.”

He will be reading a story a day for a “Told at Dusk” week on the newly launched Poppyland Radio - yet to be scheduled, see the Poppyland Radio site for details.

Told at Dusk, Remembered at Dawn is published by The Brooligan Press and is available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Surgical and Non-surgical options for buttock enhancement

If you desire a full, shapely and lifted bottom or dislike cellulite, dimpling or volume loss and sagging due to ageing, weight loss or genetics then we have several options available for you.

Wishing all our customers customers a Merr y Christmas Merry Christmas & & a Happy New Year Year

Until now the only available option was implants or fat transfer.

Recently however new technology has become available that allows us to do this non-surgically.

Here is a list of available options at the Coltishall Clinic.

Last minute Last minute SXQ Winter SXQ

1. Liposuction and fat transfer. We can sculpt your waist by liposuction and inject fat in the buttocks. So we take fat from where you do not want it and move it to where you want it. Large volume fat transfer into muscles is not carried out but we place small amount just under skin to add volume, reduce cellulite and provide a lift.

2. Laser lipolysis and cellulite reduction. This procedure uses a fine laser fibre to reduce skin tether to reduce cellulite and improve skin texture.

3. Electromagnetic muscle stimulation. This painless, enjoyable procedure (that may make you giggle!) allows muscle toning and true non-surgical lifting by increasing muscle fibres in glutes- the main muscles that form bulk of the buttocks.

4. Sculptra or Lanluma bum lift. These are injectable products that stimulate your body’s own collagen giving a dramatic plumping affect.

Lanluma injections help to add volume to buttock area and also improve the appearance of skin by reducing indentations and smoothing cellulite.

5. Radiofrequency and ultrasound. These treatments help lift and firm up skin.

Happisburgh R.N.L.I. Lifeboat Station

New RNLI Volunteer Helps Happisburgh to Help Our Community

Matt Goodchild has recently joined as a Volunteer for the RNLI at Happisburgh. He was talking to Robert Mann, one of our Deputy Launching Authorities, when Robert mentioned that he had been trying to get a defibrillator to be sited at the Station for the use of the Station and our Community. Funds required were approximately £2,000 for the outdoor cabinet, defib and any pads needed in the future.

Matt Goodchild and Robert Mann with the new Defib

allowed us to place this on the outside of the Station.

Matt contacted the directors of three companies: F Ball & Co, Planners Services Ltd and Mg Flooring Ltd who are true British businesses who believe in backing British Companies in the Workplace.

They agreed to purchase the cabinet and defib for the Station and the RNLI has

A practical guide to the new ‘no fault’ divorce law

by Emma George, Family Solicitor, Hayes + Storr Solicitors

The long-awaited Act for “no fault” divorce was passed in June 2020. It is due to become law on 6th April 2022. The law is set to end the ‘blame game’ and cut short lengthy separation periods. Here is a practical guide to the changes in divorce proceedings from April 2022 onwards in England and Wales.

1. There is no need to place blame Under the new legislation, couples can divorce without having to cite blame. They will no longer need to rely on one of the 5 grounds for divorce, which previously included: • • • • •

Unreasonable behaviour Adultery Two years separation (with consent) Five years separation (without consent) Desertion

These five grounds will be removed. Under the new law, parties can make a joint statement to apply for a divorce order if they both agree that the marriage has come to an end. Previously, only one spouse could apply for the divorce.

This new option allows both parties to apply together, in a joint, more agreeable way.

2. New terminology The term decree nisi has been used by the court to mark the first stage of divorce after the acknowledgement of papers by the spouse

and after the application has been granted by the court. Under the reformed legislation, this stage of the process will be known as a conditional order.

Similarly decree absolute, which marks the final stage of divorce, confirming that the marriage has officially come to an end, will be known as a final order. This follows the current terms used for ending civil partnerships in a bid to try and simplify the legal process.

3. You can no longer defend a divorce Under the new Act, it will not be possible to contest the decision to divorce.

4. There is a minimum wait period for the Final Order There will be a minimum period of 20 weeks between the initial application and the conditional order, and another six weeks between the conditional and the final order.

That means that even a straightforward divorce will take at least six months to complete.

However, as all divorces are now applied for online, it is unlikely that the process will take any longer than the current divorce process.

5. Is there a change to the court fee?

From 30 September 2021 the Government increased the court fee from £550 to £593.

Whilst official guidance is yet to be released,

it is unlikely that this will change prior to April 2022.

6. How will this affect the finances?

The financial side of divorce will not change.

Divorce and finances are separate but run parallel in the court system. The Act has been created with the intention of making the process of divorce easier and more amicable, but it is unlikely to have any effect on financial matters relating to divorce.

Clients are strongly advised to seek expert legal advice to resolve any financial disputes, and to document any agreement reached into a legally recognised consent order which is then full and final and cannot be changed.

Norfolk Open Studios 2022

Applications are now open for makers and creators from across Norfolk to take part in Norfolk Open Studios.

The scheme annually sees hundreds of artists opening their studios to the public to share their creative processes – and for the second year running the event will take place in early autumn. Now, artists are invited to apply to take part in the 2022 event which will take place between 24 September and 9 October.

Artists at all stages of their careers are invited to take part, from school and college students through to emerging artists, groups, established and professional creators and makers. As well as opening their studios many artists get together to host art trails, events and demonstrations.

Ros Dixon, Norfolk Open Studios Administrator, said: “Norfolk Open Studios is excited to be launching its call out to artists, as it marks the start of the build-up to this year’s event in the autumn. We’re looking forward to artists and schools from across the county getting involved, with the scheme continuing to be a wonderful way for artists to connect with the public as well as fellow artists. It’s also the second time the event is to be held in the autumn, which is a magical time of year to be inviting visitors to be out and about discovering Norfolk’s artistic community.”

The free event annually attracts thousands of visitors who travel throughout Norfolk to meet our county’s artists. Last year more than 320 artists took part across 237 studios and schools. For visitors it’s a chance to see makers and creators at work in their studios, garages, spare rooms, garden rooms, community spaces and schools, getting an insight into how and where they work – and maybe having a go at getting creative themselves.

The scheme is open to all artists from painters, sculptors, weavers and furniture makers to jewellery makers, wood workers, ceramicists, textile artists and anyone practising their craft throughout the county.

Painter Sara Edwards said: “Last year was my first open studio and I sold many paintings, prints and cards and took several commissions, but the best part was engaging with so many people who were interested in art. As well as making sales, I had the opportunity to promote my teaching workshops and I ran one of these as a Norfolk Open Studios event. Taking part in Norfolk Open Studios was an enjoyable and rewarding experience which provided a new audience for my art and benefitted my career.”

Norfolk Open Studios welcomes applications from all artists, groups of artists and schools – people wishing to take part can apply online or

download an application form from the scheme’s website.

Artists taking part will receive a profile and artwork image in the NOS brochure, a website listing (which remains published on the website for up to a year), as well as posters and postcards to publicise their involvement. They will have the opportunity to take part in the Preview exhibition at The Forum in Norwich, one of the largest annual art exhibitions held at the venue.

Applications opened on Monday 28 February and close on Friday 8 April 2022.

For more information or to apply visit www.openstudios.org.uk or email openstudios@nnfestival.org.uk or call 01603 877762.

Berry Delicious!

There really is nothing more comforting and delicious than a home baked cake. We serve them up regularly at the Community Café and I am always surprised and delighted by the reaction of people who clearly haven’t had a home baked cake for a while! This is a new

2.5 oz desiccated coconut 3 eggs 3 tblsp milk 2 tsp almond essence 1 small punnet fresh blueberries

variation on my traybake recipe, using fresh fruit for a change and with the addition of some interesting texture from the coconut.

I like to bake this in a loaf tin as it makes it easier to slice, and it is an easy all in one cake to make – no difficult steps here! We road tested this at the Film Festival, and it was very popular, so it will be a regular feature now in our repertoire.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat together until smooth. Carefully stir in the blueberries and pour into a greased and lined 2lb loaf tin. Place in a preheated oven on 180° degrees for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Turn out onto a wire cooling rack and serve once cold. Will keep for 4 days in an airtight tin.

Blueberry, Coconut and Almond Cake 8 oz self-raising flour, sifted 6 oz caster sugar 6 oz butter/marg (I use Clover)

Carolyn Burn

Pan Fried Sausage, Mushroom and Bacon in Cider

I’m always looking for quick, one pot or pan recipes. Little effort, maximum taste, and here is one that always pleases. It works with veggie sausages and if you are not partial to alcohol, apple juice will be a good substitute. If you want to add extra veggies or your own mix of spices or herbs give it a go, sage always goes well with pork and apples.

The recipe serves 4 but easily doubles, serve with a creamy mash and a little wholegrain mustard.

Ingredients 8 plump pork sausages (or veggie sausages) Oil for frying

2 medium onions, finely sliced 3-4 rashers of back bacon cut into strips 6oz chestnut mushrooms, sliced 1 heaped teaspoon of plain flour ½ pint (300ml) of chicken or veggie stock and cider or apple juice (½ and ½ of whatever you are using) 1 bay leaf (optional) or 1 teaspoon dried sage Seasoning to taste

Method Fry the sausages in a large frying pan until golden (about 15 – 20 mins.

Set them aside and drain some of the oil from the pan. Add the onions and the bacon and fry for 5 mins. Sprinkle over the flour and mix well and cook for a further 2 mins whilst stirring. Pour over the stock/cider mix and bring to the boil. Add the bay leaf/sage and the sausages, check for seasoning, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 mins, add the mushrooms for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Serve and enjoy!

The Trafalgar Branch of Oddfellows in North Walsham has been organising social events and activities for a number of years now.

Now they are turning their attention to newcomers to the area and reaching out to people who may need a little help settling in.

Janet Larter and Tina Hicks, Branch Secretaries of the Trafalgar Branch, said: “Moving to a new town or city is daunting at any age, but when you relocate your entire life in later years, it can be even more difficult to find your feet. Gone are the streets and shops you knew like the back of your hand, the reassurance of friendly and supportive neighbours, and the reliable network of friends you’ve built up through the years.

Oddfellows reach out to help North Walsham and the surrounding area newcomers forge new friendships

care helpline and citizens advice team, and a travel club.

To read more about Dr Wild’s clinical advice about trying something new, go to oddfellows.co.uk/news.

Janet Larter added: “We know that walking into a room full of people you don’t know can be daunting. But a warm welcome awaits to anyone wanting to give our friendly group a go.”

To register an interest in the group, or to receive a free local events diary, call Janet or Tina on 01692 407852 (Wednesdays 9 am- 3 pm) or email janet.larter@oddfellows.co.uk or tina.hicks@oddfellows.co.uk

The Trafalgar Branch of the Oddfellows is a non-profit mutual with approximately 500 members. In addition to attending regular social events, members can access financial benefits and welfare support, with a dedicated

Great hearing

The good news is that you’re not alone, says the Oddfellows. “We’re a ready-made friendship group and caring bunch of locals that can help you to feel more at home, explore the area and get to know your new neighbourhood,” added Janet.

STARTS WITH US

Upcoming events organised by the Oddfellows include a Coffee Morning meet up at Ramblers, North Walsham Garden Centre on Tuesday 5th April at 10.30am

The Oddfellows has also teamed up with Clinical Psychologist Dr Jennifer Wild to create a list of hints and tips to help anyone who might feel nervous about meeting new people:

1. Choose a group that is linked to your own interests – don’t sign up for a rock-climbing class if you’re not into heights. Perhaps enjoying a coffee with an organised friendship group is a good place to start?

2. Call ahead – a telephone call with the organiser or an existing member will help alleviate your concerns, answer any questions you have and ensure someone can greet you as soon as you arrive.

3. Give yourself permission to leave after five minutes – concentrating on a short period of time is much less daunting than thinking you have to stay for an hour. By focusing on a short time limit you are putting less pressure on yourself.

4. Predict your outcomes – write a list of what you are worried about. Putting pen to paper will help you look at what’s really concerning you and help test whether or not your worries come true. Science shows us that 88% of our worries never happen.

The Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run Needs Your Stories

Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run organiser Annie Chapman. ©Jonathan Slack

The Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run has eyes on a new challenge – to produce a book charting the rise of the iconic event and the stories behind the women who take part.

The first Pink Ladies Tractor Run set off in 2004 and to date the event has raised a staggering £812,000 for Cancer Research UK’s breast cancer appeal.

Organised by Annie Chapman BEM, the run annually sees more than 100 decorated tractors winding their way through Norfolk and north Suffolk.

Organiser Annie Chapman said: “It’s about more than just money. We have always said and believed that. Behind every Pink Lady is a story. It may have everything to do with breast cancer or nothing at all, but whatever the motives, they have been strong enough to create a unique, emotional, special and enduring phenomenon.

“Over the last 18 years I have had the privilege of knowing those Pink Ladies who have suffered breast cancer. Many have survived, some have not. Their stories will always be with me.

“We would also welcome contributions from anyone who has helped, sponsored or supported this run in any way whatsoever! Relevant photographs would also be appreciated.

“So please send me your story, a paragraph, a page or a chapter! By Easter, if possible please. I’m very much looking forward to hearing from you.”

To send in your recollections of the event and why you take part, including any photos of your experiences please email them to pinktractorannie@gmail.com or send to Boundary Farm, Garlic Street, Pulham St. Mary, Diss, IP21 4RL.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

It’s been a quieter month on the homing front with just Joey and Rudey being re-homed and Flokey and Norbet reserved.

You may recall mention of Norbet and Flokey as both these cats joined us via Westover Vets. Norbet, a real character, was handed in as a stray and required surgery as a result of an old injury. Despite being on cage rest while at Westover after his operation, he escaped from the recovery pen three times. We should have called him Houdini! Flokey, another lovely lad, also required surgery for a very nasty wound on his side which required several stiches. These lovely cats will shortly be leaving us for a new home together where we know they will get all the love and attention they deserve.

Joey, who was estimated to be about 11 years old when he joined us last year, had been living as a stray for some time and was not in the best of condition. He also has a head tilt and some balance problems which prevented him from being able to jump up. It does not matter how long it takes us to get a cat fit and healthy, and he had been with us for quite some time, before someone came along and saw what a lovely friendly nature he had and was only too happy to offer him a home.

Rudey too was one of our older residents at 10 years old. He had been with us a little while and was the youngest of four lovely cats who had arrived when their owner could no longer care for them. They all have nice temperaments and are very friendly. Unfortunately, due to the owner’s health problems, these four lovely cats had not been receiving the best of care for quite some time and were all in very poor condition.

Rudey was the first one to be made available for adoption and, again, being a lovely friendly cat and now in the very best of health, was quickly offered a new home. We had several people interested in her, but we always deal with enquiries in the order they are received so many

were disappointed. Billy, one of the other cats that came in with her will shortly be available. He will have been to the vets for a dental by the time you read this and, once it is confirmed that he has a clean bill of health, we will put him up for adoption. Bobby and Tiddles, the other two cats, are not yet ready to leave for new homes.

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 Norbet 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.

Half of Omicron Grants Now Paid Out to North Norfolk Businesses

North Norfolk District Council have now paid nearly half of the Omicron Hospitality & Leisure Grant (OHLG) to all eligible business in North Norfolk

The OHLG was set up in early January to help businesses operating in the Hospitality, Leisure and Accommodation industries affected through the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, with each eligible business able to claim up to £6,000. North Norfolk was allocated over £8m, the largest for any authority in Norfolk, to support over 3,000 businesses in the sector, who continue to be affected by the economic impacts of COVID.

NNDC’s award winning Grants Team have now paid out £4.2m to 1,474 North Norfolk businesses – 52.3% of the Government allocation to 43.3% of eligible businesses in the district. It is expected the Council will

award grants over the total allocation of £8m, which will be funded by central Government, allowing the economic relief for more eligible businesses without the restriction.

As of 30 January, NNDC led national figures for paying out the most business grants in the whole country and ranked third for the total amount paid out, just behind Manchester City Council and City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council.

Nearly 1,600 eligible businesses are still yet to apply for the grant, which has a cut-off date of Friday 18 March 2022, after which applications cannot be accepted. Payments will be made by 31st March, following the relevant fraud checks. Reminder emails have been sent to businesses encouraging them to apply. If your business is not eligible for the OHLG, it may still be eligible for the Omicron

Please do not let this opportunity slip”

The Grants team are award winning, and comprise of officers from Revenues, Finance, IT, Economic Development, Communications and Customer Services. NNDC was recognised for this, having been awarded at the 2021 Public Finance Awards and a high commendation at the IRRV Excellence in Innovation.

Vikings Success as County Championships Rejuvenated After Covid

Norfolk Vikings Swimming Club had considerable success at the County Championships held for the first time since 2020 at the UEA pool, Norwich.

Leah Harris of Cromer swam 29.34 to a silver medal in the 50m freestyle. In the 100m freestyle she was down in seventh in 1:02.93 but ironically the time subsequently qualified her for the Regional Championships in the summer.

Kelly Clarke

Broadland High School Year 11 student, Sophie McKee came home with two bronze medals, the 50m freestyle in 29.78 and 100m backstroke 1:16.98 respectively. It was bronze too in the 200m backstroke for 17-year-old Katy Coleman of Mundesley, when she finished in 2:44.69

Harry Hudson has also qualified for the Regionals when he scored 27.78 for the 50m butterfly although he finished in eighth position.

With seven others ahead of him, all of whom hit regional times, it provides ample evidence as to the fierce competition to what Harry and indeed Leah faced.
