Building Improvement Grants Available in North Walsham Continued from front cover...

There is a wealth of historic buildings within and surrounding the Market Place in North Walsham, including 103 that are listed. The Building Improvement Grants scheme offers grants to support the restoration and reinstatement of traditional shopfronts and architectural features, the repair and restoration of heritage buildings, and help bring unused floor space back into use. The aim is that works will be carried out using traditional methods, and, where possible materials appropriate to the history and condition of the building or area. Focus will be on applications where the building has historical importance, is of architectural quality and where improvements present an opportunity to create jobs, among other criteria.

Cllr Richard Kershaw, NNDC’s Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth, commented: “This is a hugely exciting opportunity to significantly improve not only the aesthetic of the town centre, but how people use it. The possibility of bringing unused floor space back into use, carving out business potential, job creation, or new homes, will be a real boost for the local economy and community feel. I look forward to seeing the proposals.”

Window into Hospital History

Tony Calladine, Regional Director for Historic England in the East of England said: “This is an exciting opportunity to restore and revitalise historic buildings in the centre of North Walsham, creating distinctive and attractive spaces for work, leisure and living. I’m looking forward to seeing them given a new lease of life for today’s community in a way that only historic building can.”

Detailed guidance and a full list of terms and conditions can be found on our social engagement page along with details on how to submit an expression of interest. The grant scheme is an open three-year grant programme available from July 2021 until March 2024 or until funds have been awarded when the scheme will close.

A piece of North Walsham hospital history has been saved as a garden feature thanks to its Friends group.

A window and cross from the old 1929 chapel were rescued when it was demolished earlier this year due to its deteriorating condition.

Now they have been mounted in a brick memorial in the hospital garden as a reminder of the community hospital’s heritage - and as a talking point for patients, visitors and staff enjoying the grounds.

The chapel memorial garden feature flanked by Friends chairman Keith Jarvis and ward sister Stella Mihalache. Photo: Richard Batson Records show the old chapel was built at a cost of £294 in 1929-30, some six years after the hospital was opened in 1924.

Friends chairman Keith Jarvis said: “We were initially concerned when the old chapel on the entrance road was earmarked for demolition, as it was the last remaining piece of the original hospital built in the 1920s.

“But the authorities kindly saved the window and cross when we asked, and we are pleased to give them a new life in the garden which is currently getting a makeover thanks to volunteers. We hope people appreciate it as attractive feature which also reminds people about the site’s long and proud history of community care.”

He thanked tradesmen John Easton and Kelly Yaxley along with Daniels Aggregates and Travis Perkins’ North Walsham branch for donations of labour and building materials which reduced the cost of the project.

The garden memorial was funded and organised by the Friends, who use public donations to provide “extras” to improve the quality of life for patients, staff and visitors.

The Friends have also funded bird feeders for the garden, where they have also supported the volunteer team with gardening materials and equipment.

A Note from the editor

Success for Wherry Maud Trust Crowdfunding Campaign

So, that’s Summer done and dusted and now we are into the ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ or more like scattered showers and a stiff northerly!

#money4maud

With her distinctive black sail, Wherry Maud is one of Norfolk’s best loved sights on the Norfolk Broads. The only remaining trading wherry of typical construction, she is maintained by Wherry Maud Trust’s team of dedicated volunteers who run trips throughout the year, keeping alive a significant part of the history and culture of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads.

North Norfolk Railway are to hold their 1940s weekend on the 18th/19th September, although there will be no street entertainment this year, it is good to see a gradual return of this popular event and I’m sure there will be lots of people dressing up and getting into the spirit of things.

The Wherry Maud Trust campaign to raise money for a new support boat for Maud began in May 2021 and ran until the end of July. The full £10,500 needed was raised.

Holt’s Sunday Markets continue on the first Sunday of the month from September, a must for lovers of street food and leisurely retail therapy seekers. Ideal for early Christmas shopping, (I know, but it is only just over three months away!).

The final £2,000 came from two grants of £1,000 each from Love the Broads and The Lady Hind Trust.

Whatever you are doing, enjoy your September magazine.

Keep safe and well.

Jo – Editor.

Wherry Maud Trust extends grateful thanks for the grants and to all those individuals who donated during the campaign. A suitable boat has now been purchased.

Even though we have achieved our objective of raising the £10,500 Here are the deadline dates and publishing dates for the next 3 for the tender magazines. our fundraising Month Copy deadline Publishing date efforts will October Tuesday 28th September Friday 8th October remain active, November Tuesday 26th October Friday 5th November and people December Tuesday 30th November Friday 10th December can continue to make donations to help secure the future of Maud by clicking the Donate button on the home page of wherrymaudtrust.org.

The next two challenges for the Trust will be Maud’s major maintenance in September and a drive for new members.

To receive regular updates about Maud why not join Wherry Maud Trust (£15 per annum) and look forward to a sociable sail in her? The membership form is on wherrymaudtrust.org.

Case Study: Making A Claim for Personal Injury after an Accident To highlight the process for making a personal injury claim, we have provided a real-life example where one of our clients was seriously injured in a road traffic accident.

future cost of care.

Clapham & Collinge offered to act for Sarah under a Conditional Fee Agreement, which is commonly known as a No Win No Fee Agreement, so she did not have to meet her legal costs upfront. This enabled Sarah to focus her finances on paying for her care.

The client (who we have set out below, but which is not her real name) instructed our specialist personal injury team to pursue a personal injury claim to compensate her for the injuries she suffered and to provide financial provision for her long-term care and assistance.

Claimants are entitled to recover compensation for (1) General Damages (compensation for injury, suffering and loss of amenity) and (2) Special Damages (financial loss incurred due to the accident including travel expenses, medication costs, loss of earnings, care costs and aids and equipment.)

Sarah, who was in her late 80s, was involved in a road traffic accident where the vehicle in which she was a front seat passenger was hit from the rear by another vehicle. Her driver had braked to avoid an oncoming vehicle which travelled the wrong way around a roundabout ('the Oncoming Vehicle'). Sarah suffered a fractured spine and a stroke as result of the accident and required surgery, followed by a lengthy stay in hospital.

We submitted details of Sarah's claim to the insurers of the Oncoming Vehicle. Under the Personal Injury Pre-Action Protocol, the insurers had three months to investigate the accident and confirm in writing whether they accepted that their driver was responsible for the accident.

In Sarah's case, the insurers for the Oncoming Vehicle blamed the driver of the vehicle which collided with the rear of Sarah's car for the accident. We argued the apportionment of blame between the drivers should not delay Sarah's claim and successfully persuaded the Oncoming Vehicle's insurers to deal with the claim on a Without Prejudice basis. This meant that the Oncoming Vehicle's insurers paid Sarah compensation and were free to pursue the other insurance company for a contribution later.

When Sarah returned home, she required 24-hour care, and assistance with activities such as washing, dressing, cooking, and cleaning. Whilst the NHS were able to provide limited care for the first few weeks, this was a temporary measure. Sarah's family instructed private carers to help her with personal care and her adult son moved into her home to aid with cooking, shopping, travel etc.

Medical evidence concluded Sarah's condition was unlikely to improve and that she would require 'in house' care and assistance for the foreseeable future. Sarah also needed aids and equipment to help her around her home.

Once liability was admitted, from the driver of the car that hit the car Sarah was in we arranged for Sarah to undergo examinations with two specialist medical experts: a Consultant Spinal Surgeon and a Neurosurgeon, to assess Sarah's injuries and to prepare a report to assist in calculating her financial loss.

Sarah and her family were concerned about the cost of her future care needs as she had insufficient savings to fund the private care fees long term. It was decided that Sarah should pursue a claim against the driver of the Oncoming Vehicle to compensate for her injuries and the financial losses she suffered due to the accident, including for the

The experts agreed that Sarah's injuries were caused by the accident and concluded she would need 24/7 care in future. We obtained quotes for the cost of 24/7 private care and included the cost of Sarah's future care as part of her claim.

The Defendant argued that, due to her age, Sarah would have likely required substantial care in the near future even if the accident had not occurred and made a reduction to her claim for care. They also argued that Sarah's stroke was unrelated to the accident. These arguments were clear attempts to negotiate a lower settlement figure.

We engaged a specialist Barrister for advice and negotiated with the insurers' Solicitors to reach a favourable lump sum settlement which provided Sarah with significant compensation for her injuries and enough money to pay for her future care needs.

Safer Seals Campaign Raises Funds for RSPCA Seal Rescue

North Norfolk District Council’s Safer Seals campaigning has raised £488.27 to be donated to the RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre.

The money will be donated to East Winch RSPCA to continue their important work caring for marine mammals and seals like Mrs Vicar, who was rescued

by Friends of Horsey Seals with a flying ring trapped around her neck and taken to the centre. After many months of delicate and specialist rehabilitation to recover from her wounds, she was healthy enough to be released back into the water thanks to the care provided.

The Safer Seals Tour was kindly joined by Friends of Horsey Seals to talk to the general public about seal safety in the district and the dangers of flying rings. The tour visited Cromer, Sheringham, Sea Palling and Mundesley as part of the Council’s commitments to the Blue Flag beach criteria for improving the stretches of coast.

and that of seal protection agencies in the district by giving these creatures a wide berth when they see them on our beaches, avoiding the use of hollow flying rings that can get trapped around their necks and by keeping controls of their dogs when around seals.”

Bloomin’ Marvellous

Age Concern North Norfolk is your friendly local Charity offering support for older people, their families and carers, based in Sheringham.

Recently we had a visit from “Blooming Blooms” where older folk were encouraged in an afternoon’s activity session to try their hands at flower arranging.

Alongside talking to the public, a flying ring amnesty was held and any harmful rings could be traded in for a 100% recyclable bamboo Frisbee, which pose no threat to the marine mammals if they are lost to the sea.

Liz Withington from Dementia Friendly Sheringham commented: ‘The wonderful thing about an independent high street and local businesses is how they are prepared to get involved and support our community. Well done Karen Mallett at Blooming Blooms.

I’m sure these ladies’ spirits would have been truly lifted.

Also great to see Age Concern North Norfolk up and running and supporting the community again after COVID-19. They are looking for trustees to drive this great service forward if you have the time and interest.’

Visitors to the beaches could also make a personal pledge to be conscious of the seals when visiting the coast and be given a small seal plushy toy in return

Cllr. Nigel Lloyd, portfolio holder for the Environment said: “I am hopeful that our safer seals campaign reached out to as many people as possible. These beautiful creatures have been part of our local environment for thousands of years, we therefore have a moral duty to do all we can to protect them.

If you are interested in a home cooked meal, a Meal on Heels dinner or other support, please contact Alison, our Office Manager, on 01263 821188.

I thank all residents and visitors who have followed our advice given

TRUSTEES NEEDED (All Ages)

If you are interested in supporting elderly people, do you have 6 hours a month for a year or more, that you could give to a good cause?

Age Concern is expanding its services under new management, and following the pandemic, is looking for new Trustees.

You might be a young adult from age 18 wanting to gain experience, someone a little older with time to spare, or a newly retired professional such as a doctor, solicitor, social worker or accountant, with proven experience, wanting to “give something back” to your community.

TS CARPE

KARND

Age Concern North Norfolk is a self-funded charity, based in Sheringham, working for the benefit of older people across central North Norfolk. It supports people aged 50+ (some with dementia) by providing a Day Services Hub, Meals on Heels and other services.

You will be joining a team of dedicated people who will offer support and welcome your ideas.

Combating social isolation and loneliness in Breckland and North Norfolk

It’s estimated that of a population of about 900,000 in Norfolk, the number of lonely or socially isolated people stands at 40,000.

That’s about 4.5 per-cent. And it’s the impact of being socially isolated on the individual’s physical health and mental wellbeing that is of greatest concern.

Dereham-based charity Community Action Norfolk (CAN) is working with partner charity Future Projects in combating social isolation in the Breckland and North Norfolk districts of the county. The project, known as CANConnect, aims to help people connect with activities, events and other people in or near their locality, as well as providing individuals with one-to-one support in identifying and achieving their personal goals.

CANConnect also provides support for the community itself, helping organisations and people make the places where we live stronger, friendlier, and more resilient.

And to do this, the project needs volunteers in supporting and dealing with people’s anxieties and fears about going outside on their own, especially post-pandemic.

“Sometimes we could all do with a little support to help make life ‘click’ and

re-discover our confidence” explains CAN’s Chief Executive Officer Rik Martin. “So we are asking anyone in the Breckland and North Norfolk areas, who may be able to offer time to help people on one-to-one basis, to get in touch. With their support individuals can access more of what their community has to offer, helping make the places where we live stronger, friendlier and more resilient.

“Norfolk has a great history of volunteers stepping forward to help, not least during the Covid pandemic, where our Good Neighbour Schemes and mutual aid groups have seen a tremendous response from individuals who have contributed to supporting vulnerable residents in their communities.”

The work has been commissioned by Norfolk County Council as part of a range of similar services across the county tackling the problems created by social isolation and loneliness.

“We delighted to be playing our part in bringing communities together through the Social Isolation project in partnership with CAN” says Daniel Childerhouse, Chief Executive of Future Projects.

Now more than ever it is important that we

connect to those around us and this vital service helps achieve just that. However, to do so we need volunteers to support our activity with those who would otherwise be overlooked. This is a first-class service which offers highly rewarding volunteering opportunities.”

Volunteers benefit by meeting new people, learning new skills and gaining experience in the voluntary sector. And being part of something that directly supports the community can make a real difference to people’s lives. CAN and Future Projects staff know the importance of volunteers being supported and will provide all necessary training.

Anyone interested in volunteering can visit www.canconnect.org.uk or call 01362 545020 to find out more.

Do your eyes give your age away?

Erase signs of ageing, safely and effectively.

Latest treatment updates from the Coltishall Clinic.

Eyes have always been a primary facial feature, referred to as “the window to the soul” but with most of us using masks now a days they have become even more important as a focal point. Unfortunately eye area is not a forgiving area to treat and requires a comprehensive assessment and treatment approach.

So what are the effects of ageing that need to be addressed?

There are three main changes that occur with ageing. Loss of volume, loss of skin elasticity causing sagging skin and sun damage that affects the skin quality. In addition to these changes, wrinkles form because of repetitive movements of the frowning and smiling muscles. These changes affect the whole of your face so we may need to address changes in your forehead, brows and temples also for natural and pleasing results.

How can we help you reduce first signs of ageing around the eye area?

Careful use of injections can restore volume and reduce dynamic wrinkles formed by muscle over activity. Dark circles can be improved with hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane or your own fat.

We can use lasers to create a new skin and reduce and reverse sun damage. Finally if required we can use surgery to lift the brows or remove excess eyelid skin.

How do you perform eyelid skin tightening or skin removal to address more advanced changes of skin ageing?

The traditional blepharoplasty is a more invasive procedure with considerable recovery period and often involves overnight hospital stay. It also often involves removal of muscle layer and fat from around the eyeball. More invasive a procedure, longer is the list of potential complications. Also too much fat removal can lead to a hollowed out artificial or operated upon look. Now we know that a fuller brow is more natural and more attractive.

What other options may be possible?

Forehead and temple lifts using threads, fillers, lasers or surgical brow lift or mini brow lift may be other suitable options. A comprehensive treatment program will be devised after your consultation and assessment.

For more information or to book an appointment log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk or call 01603 736487

Clubbers urged to pre-plan journeys home

Clubbers in Norwich are being urged to pre-plan their journeys home due to high demand for taxi services at the end of the night.

It follows a few incidents of disorder where people have been gathered waiting for taxis.

Eyelid surgery Laser eyelift Eyelash enhancement Dark circle treatments

Inspector Ian Cox is from the force’s Community Safety team, which is responsible for organising the weekends public order patrols. He said gatherings of people waiting for taxis had caused some problems in the last few weeks and urged people to plan their journeys to avoid waiting around unnecessarily.

He said: "Nightlife in the city has been busy since nightclubs were able to reopen in July following moths of lockdown restrictions.

"By and large, most people have enjoyed their nights out with no problem, but we’ve had to intervene in a number of situations resulting in arrests.

"More recently, disorder has been focused on the areas where people have been stood around after their night out, waiting for taxis and we understand some companies are running a reduced service.

"The best way to avoid this is by planning your journey home, either by pre-booking a taxi or arranging a lift with a friend or relative. This way, you avoid getting caught up in situations where, after a few drinks, could end unintentionally."

Volunteers needed to help in the pier shop at RNLI Cromer

The Friends of Friesenried (North Walsham Town Twinning)

Now that the shackles are off the Friends of Friesenried took the first tentative steps towards normality. To be on the safe side our first social adventure for almost two years took place outside on the 8th of August at the Mike Thurston Trust. We held a B.B.Q. and 25 of us turned out to become reacquainted. It only rained a little and we did have some shelter. In general, a good afternoon was had by all.

Our shop at the end of the pier reopened on Monday 9th August 2021.

Another step towards normality saw us deciding to hold a committee meeting towards the end of August, weather permitting, also outside.

As you can imagine a lot of things were either cancelled or put on hold during the pandemic.

Initially it will open from 10 00 to 14 00 from Monday to Friday.

Our A.G.M. will be held in the Church Rooms on the 1st of October at 7 pm so to find out more about Friesenried in Germany please feel free to come along for a warm welcome.

More information from: - Steve 01953 607119 Dianne 01603 402726.

PLEASE NOTE IT WILL NOT BE OPEN ON SATURDAYS OR SUNDAYS.

In order to comply with current RNLI COVID rules we will only be allowing 2(TWO) people in the shop at any one time.

The opening will also be dependant on staffing.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer working in the Pier shop please ring 01263 510826 or email audrey_smith@rnli.org.uk

Norfolk Open Studios 2021 - North Norfolk Artists from across North Norfolk get set to welcome visitors into their studios

Makers and creators from across North Norfolk are preparing to open their studio doors as part of one of the most successful Open Studios schemes in the country.

Norfolk Open Studios will take place across 16 days in September and October, a change in dates for the event which will allow visitors to explore and experience Norfolk in the autumn.

The free event will see more than 320 artists taking part throughout the county and in North Norfolk 92 artists will be opening their studios to share how they work.

As well as the artists opening their studios, numerous schools will be exhibiting in the scheme. Art Trails will also be in place across the county, allowing visitors to enjoy several studios and local attractions in one day.

In North Norfolk three schools are taking part – Aldborough Primary School, Cromer Academy and North Walsham Junior, Infant and Nursery Federation.

There will be six art trails organised by artists. These will take place in Cromer and surrounding villages, Happisburgh, West Raynham, Bacton, on a route from North Walsham to Southrepps and throughout the villages of Binham, Langham, and Hindringham.

Throughout the duration of Norfolk Open Studios, artists will be holding additional events. In North Norfolk there will be an exhibition of past works by artists in the region, an online art auction and a preview exhibition.

Ros Dixon, Norfolk Open Studios Administrator, said: “It’s exciting to realise that Norfolk Open Studios is returning this year. After last year’s event was cancelled it feels particularly special, as well as it being the first time the scheme will take place in the autumn. We hope that the

opportunity for visitors to be out and about exploring Norfolk at this magical time of the year, and meeting artists and seeing amazing artwork, will continue to offer much enjoyment and inspiration to people, as Opens Studios always has.”

Visitors will find painters, sculptors, weavers, furniture makers, jewellery makers and lots more throughout the varied landscapes of Norfolk.

Studios are free to visit and much of the work will be for sale. All details, including studio opening days, directions, art trails and additional events and demonstrations, can be found in the Norfolk Open Studios brochure and on the scheme’s website.

Artists taking part could not be more excited to be opening their studios to visitors.

Painter Nigel Skinner said: “After a long period of not being able to invite people into my studio I am excited to open my doors to the public once again. This year’s open studio is the first time in my twenty Nigel Skinner, Credit Matthew years of taking part that I am part Usher of an art trail, with three other artists all based at West Raynham Business Park. We will also be hosting a mixed exhibition in spaces adjacent to our studios which will conclude with an art auction. My studio is situated in the Old Chapel on the former RAF base. I have a keen interest in environmental issues and my work is predominantly made from salvaged and reclaimed materials.

I live in Great Walsingham and the surrounding countryside is often a great source of inspiration.”

Tracey Ross, an artist based in Houghton St Giles near Walsingham, said: “My work explores the horizon and the beauty of Creation inspired by the North Norfolk coast. I love working in acrylics using mixed media to build up the layers and textures. I enjoy holding art workshops and am in the process of launching my first online art course! I look forward to welcoming you to my studio.”

Artist Sandra Rowney works from a riverside studio in Hoveton where her love of wild swimming spills into paintings, models, pots, textiles and prints. She said: “During the pandemic I found a way to combine my artwork with my passion for wild swimming. My work is all about the sea, the river and rock pools. My riverside studio is at Hoveton on the River Bure where I can swim whilst layers are drying on canvases or pots. Norfolk Open Studios then gives me a focal point in the year to work towards and a chance to share and discuss my work with visitors.”

Brochures can be picked up from Tourist Information Centres, libraries, cafés and various art venues across Norfolk.

Norfolk Open Studios will take place between 25 September and 10 October 2021. For more information visit norfolkstudios.org.uk

Norfolk Open Studios will be a part of Norfolk Wonder, a series of activities across the county this autumn presented by Norfolk & Norwich Festival. The programme is to be announced on 6th August.

The Norfolk Wonder programme is a part of a Norfolk County Council initiative designed to attract audiences to Norfolk for experiential tourism in the off-season of October 2021 to March 2022.

- Toll Barn Vets -

Here to Help!

Whether it‛s a dog or cat or rabbit, or an exotic reptile, fish or bird, Toll Barn Vets in North Walsham is on hand to help with your pets everyday routine veterinary needs as well as helping you through those stressful medical pet emergencies.

Our canine friends enjoy their own waiting area and dedicated ward if they need to stay overnight, and our feline friends also have their own waiting area and dedicated ward including everything you would expect from an Accredited Gold Standard Cat Friendly Practice. Our exotic pets also have their own ward and waiting area complete with vivaria for our reptile species and specialised enclosures for birds. As an Accredited Gold Standard Rabbit Friendly Practice our small mammals also benefit from specially designed enclosures and an abundance of different tempting treats!

With autumn and winter on the horizon, now is the time to make sure your loved pet is ready for the months ahead. Our tortoise friends may need an annual “MOT” check to help keep them safe during hibernation. It‛s also a good chance to make sure our dogs and cats are up to date with routine flea and worming treatment and spot any signs of ill health or arthritis prior to the cold weather arriving. Our VIP Club helps to spread the cost of routine veterinary care and save you money and our veterinary nurses offer free of charge appointments to help determine the most effective and appropriate preventative parasite care depending on your pets lifestyle.

Dr Faye Bethell leads our team of four highly qualified vets and is a recognised RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Zoological Medicine, so able to treat any exotic pet that might come along. Faye also treats some very exotic species as she works closely with some of Norfolk‛s most popular zoos and zoological centres.

The vets are fully supported by a great team of qualified nursing staff able to offer advice for routine pet care and wellbeing including pet weight management, claw clipping and dental advice.

Fully equipped with some of the most advanced equipment available, including digital x-ray , dental x-ray, ultrasound scanner, video endoscopy and laser therapy, we also have our own on-site CT Scanner (something very few Norfolk vets are able to offer), and in-house lab able to provide rapid results helping us treat your pets more effectively and reducing the stressful wait for results. Toll Barn Vets is an independent family run veterinary centre offering 24/7 care for all our clients avoiding the need for stressful visits to unfamiliar practices who don‛t have your pets records available in emergency situations.

It's not all emergencies – we have a luxury Cat Boarding Hotel on site so if you are going away and you cat needs looking after by a dedicated team of veterinary professionals, the Cat Boarding Hotel could be the answer.

The past months have left us all concerned about Covid risks and with client and staff safety the highest priority, Toll Barn Vets limits the number of clients able to be in the reception at any one time and provide large separate individual screened cubicles solely for your use during your visit. We also continue to offer the facility for clients to remain in their car while our staff collect your pet and our vets have a discussion with you in our private car park whilst maintaining social distancing.

Want to know more – just call us on 01692 407126 and have a chat with Nola Bethell the Practice Manager, or just make an appointment to come along with your pet.

North Walsham in Bloom

By the time you read this we will be well into September, and our autumn planting will be looming. We intend to start the planting on the 11th October, but before that can happen, we will need to remove a lot of the summer bedding. This will be happening towards the end of September. We will leave the lovely beds outside the old Council Offices until last, and the provisional date for the geraniums coming out is the 28th September. This however depends very much on the weather. If anyone would like to have any of the plants, please contact me either by phone 01692 405211 or email marionlane10@ talktalk.net. It helps to know how many we need to put to one side for collection.

All our new helpers are now with us and appear to be enjoying coming out on a Tuesday morning as well as the odd extra morning as necessary. We can only deal with the barrier baskets for instance, outside Spec-Savers, on a Thursday as we cannot work on the outside of that corner with all the traffic around us.

Our watering man Tony is very pleased with

the new bowser we bought at the end of last year, with most of the money for it coming from a grant from North Walsham Town Council. It saves him having to do several trips

to refill, although it is much heavier than the old watering tank on its trailer as this one holds 1125 litres and weighs a ton and a half. We are very lucky to have our water supplied by one of our sponsors, RBR Crops.

The lovely Group Photo of most of our helpers is the first one to be taken for many years and shows most of us in In Bloom standing near the new bowser in the Church Yard. Some of our helpers could not attend on that day, so I intend to arrange for a follow up photo asap.

Don’t forget to stop and speak to any of us when you come across us in the Town, we always like to hear your views.

Cromer was raffled off, with tickets SOLD OUT raising £5K for Cromer’s new cancer centre.

The Friends of Cromer Hospital asked Samuel Thomas if he would help with fundraising for the Chemotherapy Unit and he painted the most amazing piece of art which raised £5,000 by selling tickets via an online raffle. The winner was a gentleman from Kent.

Mr Thomas who lives in Norwich but grew up in Cromer said ‘I still have a lot of family living in Cromer so it’s a place I have a strong affinity for. Cancer is something which affects one in two people in their lifetime, so it is something that is going to have an effect on all of us.

Mr Thomas said the painting had a special significance for the mental resilience needed for those suffering the challenges of cancer: ‘We decided a sunset painting of Cromer connected with many as it is a reflective time of day for us and watching a sunset helps us appreciate how much beauty surrounds us on a daily basis and reaffirms how much we have to live for despite the adversity we may face. It is a time for us to put our problems into perspective and to find some clarity so we can face tomorrow with perseverance and resilience. It is about looking forward towards the future with the belief that things will get better.’

One elderly lady in particular was in tears telling me how upset she had been finding all the plants laying on the floor on the Sunday morning. I felt very sorry for her and all the other people who came up to us on the following Tuesday with similar comments. Whoever is responsible for this damage would do well to remember that CCTV covers that area, and if any more damage occurs, we will ask the Police to check the footage for us.

We have done this in the past and the perpetrator was caught and had to pay for the plants and the damage.

The acrylic on boxed canvas painting also features a quote on its side which reads ‘Don’t lose hope, when the sun goes down the stars come out. ‘

The centre, which is scheduled to open this month, will aim to deliver 600 surgical procedures a year as well as an additional 10,000 outpatient appointments a year. The new site will also have six chemotherapy chairs, three new clinic rooms, two new minor procedure rooms and a new cancer information and support centre.

Want to save a threatened historic building in East Anglia?

Nominate it for the Victorian Society’s endangered list

The Victorian Society is seeking nominations for its 2021 Top Ten Endangered Buildings Campaign.

The annual event highlights buildings that are in dire need of repairs or are at risk of being lost completely.

Buildings included in previous years’ lists have already seen new funding, planning applications, and structural improvements that preserve them for future generations.

heating, lighting, maintenance) by up to 84 per cent.

Join the campaign to save our heritage nominate a building or structure that deserves some much-needed public attention by emailing topten@victoriansociety.org.uk with details of when the building was built, its location, why the building should be included in our campaign.

This year, Great Yarmouth’s Winter Gardens received a £10m grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, after receiving a Top Ten nomination in 2018. The Council has submitted plans to restore the historic glass and iron structure and create a restaurant and bar area with botanic gardens.

With the UK hosting COP26 in November this year, The Top Ten Campaign also raises awareness on how heritage conservation can play a significant role in combatting the causes of climate change.

Restoration and reuse of our historic buildings reduces waste, and carbon emissions. A third of the UK’s waste output comes from construction and demolition. Restoring and updating historic buildings reduces operational carbon emissions (carbon emissions created from the day-to-day use of the property such

Society said: “After 18 months of a Covid crisis which has seen shops and offices close, the Top Ten Campaign is more important than ever to bring heritage and conservation back into public discussion and continue the fight to find new uses to save our endangered historic buildings.”

“Ninety-nine per cent of people who live in England and Wales live less than a mile away from a listed heritage site. Preserving our heritage not only improves the places where we live, it also helps to combat the wider climate emergency. Compared to refurbishing a traditional Victorian terrace property, a new building of the same size produces up to 13 times more embodied carbon.”

As opposed to operational carbon, embodied carbon is the CO2 associated with the entire construction process, including transport, production of building materials, and energy use.

Winter Gardens, Gt. Yarmouth

Nominated buildings or structures must be in England and Wales and built between 1837 and 1914, Listed buildings are more likely to make the Top Ten, and the closing date for nominations is Friday 15th October at midnight.

Is it ever too late to make a will?

by Kieran Athow, Solicitor, Hayes + Storr

Whilst planning ahead and making a will is the best way to arrange the division of your estate, sometimes plans need to be put in place suddenly and at the last minute from a hospital bed, hospice or care home.

Testamentary Capacity To make a will or amend an existing will, you must have the requisite “testamentary capacity”. This means that you must understand that you are making or amending a will and its effect, understand the extent of your estate and comprehend any claims to which your estate could be subject to following your death.

If there is any doubt as to your capacity, then a medical report may be required prior to the will being executed. For example, whilst a diagnosis of dementia does not necessarily mean that you lack testamentary capacity, it would be advisable to obtain a medical report to confirm the position.

Solicitors are well versed in these issues and will help to ensure that a valid will can be executed in time.

Precautions Against Undue Influence Any decision to make a will or amend an existing will must be your own. If there is

any sign of undue influence from a third party, then steps will need to be taken to protect you.

For example, it may be that you have asked a family member or a friend to contact your solicitor on your behalf. If that person is also a beneficiary under the provisions of your Will (or could indirectly benefit from the same), then your Solicitor must be satisfied that they have not exerted ‘undue’ pressure on you to make or amend your will in particular terms.

Unless your Solicitor is satisfied that your instructions are yours and yours alone, they will be unable to act for you with respect to drafting a new Will or amending an existing Will.

Finding Witnesses A will made in any setting, including a care home or hospital, must be signed by you in the presence of two independent witnesses.

Given the urgent nature, and the fact that your witnesses must both be present at the time you sign your will) the most practical arrangement is for all three of you to sign at the same time in each other’s company.

Your witnesses must be independent, and they cannot be named within your will as a beneficiary, nor can they be the spouse or civil partner of any of your named beneficiaries.

Finding willing witnesses to a “deathbed will” can be difficult, as many medical professionals may not be willing to witness the Wills of those in their care. However, your solicitor can usually bring a colleague with them, and they can both act as your witnesses.

Making a Deathbed Gift If there is insufficient time to make a Will, or if there are relatively small gifts that you want to leave to certain people without the formality of making a will, you may be able to leave them by way of a deathbed gift.

Deathbed gifts have complex rules and so it is always best to seek advice from a solicitor to prevent any problems arising later for your executors.

Provisional Schedule

Yorke Trust Benefit Concert Series 2021-2022 This series of benefit concerts is devised to help support young musicians who have been unable to perform to live audiences because of the pandemic, and to help them advance their careers. Generous private benefactors, together with established artists who are appearing without a fee, are supporting this project.

Loosely modelled on the tradition of benefit concerts popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, the series is presented in association with The Craxton Trust, some of the young musicians having played at the trust’s recent auditions in London. All participants are encouraged to programme new repertoire. We hope this modest contribution in support of those taking part will to some extent help a return to live music making in the community.

All concerts begin at 15:00 and are in The Old Chapel, Burnham Road, South Creake, NR21 9JF.

Light refreshments available. Parking in the orchard behind the chapel.

Tickets £12.00 from 01328 738482, Text 07899 771366 or by email to carol.jennings2@btinternet.com.

Postal booking to The Yorke Trust, Grove Cottage, Southgate Road, South Creake, NR21 9PA with a cheque made payable to The Yorke Trust.

Paper tickets will not be issued, but a record will be kept of all bookings.

Bank details for BACS payments: The Yorke Trust, NatWest 52-41-29, A/c 44630417. Please use your name as a reference.

If you are able to host any of these young musicians, please contact the office on 01328 823501

Emanuele Addis – Guitar Bach - BWV 1003 Rodrigo - Sonata giocosa Britten – Nocturnal

The Purcell School Impulse Outreach programme will no longer take place as, at the moment, the school is not allowed to travel.

Mellow Mushrooms

I always look forward to Autumn and the comfort of curling up in the warm and enjoying a bowl of homemade soup, and what better than taking advantage of the seasonal bounty of mushrooms. This recipe can be made with ordinary mushrooms, or for extra flavour and depth try to source some different varieties or use some rehydrated porcini mushrooms added to the fresh ones. This freezes well so make double quantity and keep some for a wet and rainy day.

Homemade Mushroom Soup

Ingredients 500g/1lb mushrooms 90g/3oz butter 2 medium onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons plain flour 1 litre/2 pints Chicken or vegetable stock 1 bay leaf (optional) 120mls/4 fl oz single cream Generous grating of nutmeg Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method Clean the mushroom with a damp cloth, (never wash mushrooms as they absorb the water diluting the taste), and roughly chop the caps and stems.

Add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, mix well. Add the bay leaf, if using, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and leave the soup to cool for a few minutes.

Place the soup in a blender, (you may need to do this in batches) or use a stick blender and blend until smooth. Add the nutmeg, taste and season.

Return the soup to the heat and reheat until it simmers but not boils. Stir in the cream.

You could also add a few reserved mushrooms, fried until golden brown, as a garnish.

Serve with a chunk of good bread.

Serves 4 – a hug in a bowl.

Enjoy – Jo, Editor.

Antique & Collectors Fair Cley Village Hall, Cley-Next-The-Sea, NR25 7RJ

Chop the onions and garlic finely. Heat the butter in a medium pan add the onions and garlic and cook until soft but not browned, (5-6 minutes).

Perfect Pastry

I have so many requests for the perfect pastry recipe, and it always amazes me how many people are still terrified of making their own shortcrust pastry.

Once you’ve mastered this, all sorts of delicious avenues and possibilities open up, and you’ll never look at a pack or Jusroll again.

If you want an everyday, super quick and easy to make pastry, here it is.

Throw away all that you may have been told previously about using lard and plain flour, and just follow the instructions below, and you’ll never look back.

Definitely buy the dough blender pastry cutter, it makes life so much easier and is not expensive.

I use this recipe for both savoury and sweet recipes and have included a quick treacle tart recipe for you to test it out.

Just remember, less handling and cold water and bowl gets the job done!

Super Simple Shortcrust Pastry

(Makes one large quiche or treacle tart, use the leftover cuttings to make awesome jam tarts!)

8 oz Self raising flour 4 oz butter/marg (I use Clover) cut into small pieces Approx 4 tablespoons COLD water

To make pastry: Make sure you use a cold large bowl (preferably metal or pottery) and if you have one, a dough blender pastry cutter (see pic). Place flour into the cold bowl, and add the butter to the flour, and using the cutter in quick movements cut the butter into much smaller pieces. Using light,

quick fingertip movements, rub in butter to flour until it resembles crumbs, being careful not to handle too much (just use your fingertips and don’t press).

Using your knife, add in 3 tablespoons of very cold water to the mixture, and bring together into a ball, adding another tablespoon if not coming together (if its too sticky just add a little more flour). Handling lightly, press and turn the ball once or twice to fully combine it, and then cover in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for half an hour to chill. On a floured surface, roll out and use, pricking all over with a fork once in your large flan dish prior to adding filling.

Citrus Treacle Tart:

8 oz pastry recipe (as above) 8 oz breadcrumbs 1 x 454g tin golden syrup 2 generous hpd tblsps fine shred marmalade Juice of 2 lemons

Roll out your pastry and line a 9-inch flan dish with it, pricking the base all over with a fork. Place syrup and marmalade into a saucepan and gently heat through, whisking to ensure marmalade mixes evenly. Once warmed and combined, add in lemon juice, and continue for another couple of minutes. Add your breadcrumbs to the warmed mixture and place into your flan dish, evening it out. Place into a preheated oven on 180° for approx. 25- 30 mins, or until mixture has slightly risen and filled out and pastry is golden. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

The Norfolk Coast Dark Skies Festival

The Norfolk Coast Dark Skies Festival is returning for its third year this autumn. With an emphasis on wildlife and the dark, a range of face-to-face and online events will include wildlife walks at night, stargazing, soundwalk, talks, podcasts and activities. The 2-week long festival launches on Saturday 25th September at Thornham Village Hall and will celebrate the stunning dark skies and landscapes of the area as well as raise awareness about issues of increasing light pollution.

Come along and visit us in Marsham We stock 1000’s of beautiful fabrics for quilting & dressmaking, from Batiks to Linens, Jersey and Cottons.

We have ongoing workshops and classes in quilting and dressmaking, understanding your sewing machine and reading patterns, plus classes in Embroidery, Hand Sewing and Felting to name a few.

We have a Stitchers Club where you can bring in your own sewing, and get together with like minded sewers, drink tea and have a social get together.

Help is always on hand if you need it, we even have Art classes.

So if you feel you would like to learn a new skill, or catch up on an old one, pop in and see what’s on offer.

Or just come in for a cuppa and a slice of cake.

Free Parking and disabled access.

We are really lucky as the Norfolk Coast is one of the darkest areas in the UK. This contributes towards the rural character and feelings of remoteness and tranquillity that we enjoy here. Our wildlife also benefits enormously from the dark night-time – whether they use it to hunt, to hide from predators, reproduce, migrate or simply to sleep like we do.

Unfortunately, light pollution can have a negative effect on our wildlife, our well-being and the rural atmosphere of the coast. Through this festival we can discover the wonders of our environment after dark and learn how we can all do our bit to preserve the night skies. We’re very interested in talking to parish councils, businesses and organisations who are keen to become more dark skies friendly.

More information, event listings and booking details can be found on the Norfolk Coast Partnership website www.norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk/ partnership/dark-skies-festival-25-sep-10-oct-2021/1229

Open Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 4pm Marsham Business Park, 26 Old Norwich Road Marsham NR10 5PR

Appeal for SNAP Members

Interested in working with your community and local police to help identify local neighbourhood policing priorities in your area?

We are looking for new SNAP (Safer Neighbourhood Action Panel) members to join our meetings across North Norfolk.

A SNAP Meeting is a public held meeting where we traditionally meet to discuss local concerns and issues, provide updates on police action and vote in our next community policing priorities. Usually, we hold these SNAP meetings every 3 months for each Safer Neighbourhood area in an effort to ensure that our community policing priorities remain current and reflect what is important to local residents. Due to the pandemic these meetings have been held virtually over Microsoft Teams.

For North Norfolk these Safer Neighbourhood areas are North Walsham, Cromer, Holt, Wells, Stalham, Sheringham and Fakenham. During the meeting priorities are put forward and it’s decided what the policing priority will be for each area for the next 3 months.

Backgammon

The North Norfolk Backgammon Summer Open drew 10 players who contested a 4-round Swiss, matches to 5 points before lunch and to 7 points after. The winner was Gerry Enslin (Sheringham) who won a very close match (5-all, then 6-all and finally 7-6), and the Summer Trophy, from Brian Winner Gerry Enslin on left, Tournament Director Dr Cedric Lytton centre and Metcalf (Aldborough) in what Club Manager Chris March on right was effectively the final. Cedric Lytton (Sheringham) was third, and Chris March (Briston) 4th.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

We have been very busy over the summer months and have rehomed 39 cats and kittens with another 7 that are reserved and will probably have left us by the time you read this. These include Armani, Amigo and Adonis, three older black kittens whose owner had too many cats.

Also, lovely Theo, another black kitten who was handed over to us by a Miramar Vets, having been found under the bonnet of a car. We must not forget Honey, a pretty tabby cat, who came in as a stray with and her 4 kittens, or Roxie whose 5 lovely black kittens were born in care.

Bobbie, a ragdoll also rehomed, joined us having been found in poor condition not more than a mile away from Leo another ragdoll (who is still with us and is deaf). So many interesting stories to tell. We are delighted these cats are now happily settled in their new homes and look forward to finding new homes for the new cats and kittens who have taken up the spaces in our pens.

In a previous article I mentioned “thecatgroup” which provides lots of useful information relating to cat care. A recent communication from Head Office advised of another group, Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH), who had recently updated the guidelines on the Minimum Welfare and Operational Standards with regard to both cats and dogs. They exist to promote best practice in animal welfare and their priority is to ensure that the animals have the best possible chance for new loving and caring homes. Their members include registered charities and not for profit organisations of all sizes and one of their aims is to raise standards amongst animal rescue organisations.

The range of the subjects they cover is vast and includes feeding, cleaning, vaccination, disease control, feral cats, veterinary care, transportation and animal housing. The animal housing covered the subject of cats coming into care from the same household who it is found do not really get on, something we have seen in the past which is

quickly remedied by separating to separate pens as soon as one becomes free. The guide includes information on what constitutes suitable accommodation (including heating and ventilation on cold and hot days) plus how Ellie - recently rehomed much space each cats needs. This covers how big an area the cats require in their sleeping areas and how high these should be. This has affected us over the years as when purchasing new pens to replace the old, the replacements have to be larger to comply with these guidelines.

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

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.

294. Mate in two moves

Solution to No. 293: 1. Bf8, threat 2. Bg7.

1… cxd3 2. Qh4; 1… Rxd32. Qg7; 1… Nxd3 2. Nf5; 1… Bxd32.

Qxa7. By-play 1… Bb8 2.

The Stocchi theme, four mates forced without dual by four black units self-blocking the black K on one square. Amazing economy of white force, with no white Ps. Not 1. Be7?

Bxd3!

(2. Qxa7??).

No. 294 shows a fine withdrawal key, indicated by the prospective discovered-pinning moves by the black Pf7, with subtle thematic refutations of two possible tries by the same piece. The visible variation 1… Bh6 2. Ng5, simultaneously shutting off this B and Rh5, may be another pointer. Difficulty 3.

The International Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition returns to Sheringham Park

The International Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition, the world's premier photography exhibition specialising in garden, plant, flower and botanical images, returns to the National Trust’s Sheringham Park this autumn, from Wednesday 1 September to Sunday 31 October.

Ready to make a move?

Located in the tranquil surroundings of the Bower Garden, over 40 pictures will be on display celebrating gardens and plants from across the globe. The international nature of the exhibition sits well within the garden setting at Sheringham, which features plants from at least five continents.

We understand that moving home can be both a happy and sad experience. That’s why our team are ready to work with you and look after your every need from full market exposure to discreet one-off buyer introductions.

It’s currently the best time to sell in years, so however you want us to move you, we’re here to help.

The competition featured nine main categories including favourites such as ‘The Beauty of Plants’, ‘Beautiful Gardens’ and ‘Abstract Views’ and newly added category ‘Plants & Planet’ – where a portion of the entry fees were donated to WeForest to plant new trees.

The exhibition features a wide range of subjects including wildlife, urban settings, abstract views as well as woods and forests – although always with plants as a focus.

Please give us a call

We had some wonderful feedback about the 2019 exhibition held at Sheringham Park – here are some of the comments from our visitors:

to discuss how we can get you moving

‘The photos showed how many ways there are to appreciate gardens – wide-ranging views, tiny details and nearly abstract representation.’

‘It captured nature so beautifully – brought the world to my doorstep.’

‘It was so atmospheric and correctly placed in such a beautiful ‘Bower’.’

The International Garden Photographer of the Year is a free exhibition, which is open at the National Trust’s Sheringham Park from Wednesday 1 September to Sunday 31 October 2021, dawn to dusk. www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

After travelling to Maidenhead last weekend, this Saturday (11th) sees the Vikings first home League game of the season, Hertford visiting Scottow Park: 3.00pm kick off. Making predictions about the relative strengths of sides is very hard, but based on 2019 -20 form both their opening opponents in London & South East Premier were expected to provide stern opposition. Hertford finished fourth and Maidenhead were joint second in South West Premier from where they have transferred.

The Vikings had one pre-season friendly, versus Sudbury. Played in four quarters Director of Rugby James Knight used around 30 players. His squad has many newcomers. New backs include Harry Agnew and brothers Andre (played a few games 2018 -19) &Tane Dunn. In the forwards the Hawkins brothers, Joe (prop) & Charlie (back row) join from Crusaders, flanker John Trede from Thetford, Ollie Charlish (flanker/hooker) and Ethan Holmwood (back/second row) from Wymondham and Fraser Hall (back row) from Diss. Backrower Will

Haynes is back for a year; UEA students Matt Musindi (second row) and Charlie Fethney (back row) have also signed.

The Vikings other September home fixture is CS Stags on the 25th, with away matches at Westcombe Park on the 18th and Havant on 2nd October.

The Raiders are also at Action from Vikings v Sudbury Scottow on the 11th versus Photo by Ali Doe. their Hertford counterparts, and then have home games in Eastern Counties North versus Lowestoft & Yarmouth on the 18th and Wymondham 2nd XV on October 2nd.

Youth, Minis & Valkyries have re-started on Sunday mornings – newcomers welcome!

Paul Morse back and is having to up his game in preparation for running 26 miles (42 kilometres) by running longer distances.

At present he has run 20 miles around the North Norfolk Coast but is under no illusion that the task ahead won’t be an easy one.

Local Referee is Doing it for the Kidz Local semi-professional FA referee Dave Lewiss will be running in the London Marathon on Sunday 3 October 2021.

Dave has worked in the Cromer area for over 18 years and is a Maintenance Manager at a care home in Mundesley.

The charity Dave will be raising funds for is Whizz-Kidz, a Uk based charity whose mission is for all young wheelchair users lives

to be full of fun, friendship and freedom.

They achieve this by supplying vital mobility equipment across the UK and support young users through skills training and employability.

Dave said ‘It gets to a point in your life, I am now 56, when you want to face a big challenge for the first time. For me my big challenge will last a few hours on the day of the marathon.

For many children with disabilities, they face a massive challenge daily and that’s why I am running to support Whizz-Kidz’

Dave regularly runs 10k along the coast road from his home in Cromer to Sheringham and

North Norfolk Vikings

North Norfolk Vikings Swimmer, twelve-year-old Isaac Buchan, won a silver medal at the "Future Outlaw 1.2mile Swim" in time of 35.05 He had to battle against choppy waters and swimmers who were a lot older than him. In total there were 43 men taking part. He came 9th overall and runner up in the under 16 category. Isaac takes up the story in his own words.

"The event was part of my mums Ironman distance triathlon and was held at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham. I was swimming with lots of adults and older children. When I was going up to the start the weather was quite cold, but they said the water was warm and they didn’t lie, the temperature was very warm, like getting into a bath. When we started you had the option to dive or sit and slide in, I dived off the side into the dark green water.

I could just about see my hand as it entered the water. It was cold at the

Should you wish to support Dave on his challenge, he has set up a donation page on

Any kind donation will be really appreciated by him and the children, and will help boost his morale for his 26 mile journey in October.

beginning but got so warm. I had to swim 1.2 miles; the water was very choppy. The big orange buoys were difficult to see, but I looked forward every 6-8 strokes and this kept me going in a straight line. The whole time I was thinking about how I was going to feel great after the swim.

It was hard work and tiring however, I felt awesome and refreshed and I would do it again and I will. I was so happy to come second in the under 16 age group, I never knew I could swim that fast for so long. I would encourage others to do an organised, safe open water swim if they get the chance, it is a great experience and one that I will do again."
