Award-winning American Choir to visit Gresham’s Award-winning choir Longmeadow Lyrics from Longmeadow High School, Springfield, Massachusetts will visit Gresham’s on Tuesday 16 April, to perform alongside the School’s Schola Cantorum in the Chapel. The 49-strong SATB American Choir, who in 2011 won The American Prize for Choral Music at High School level, is coming to the School as part of an extensive UK and European Tour. They contacted the School having discovered Benjamin Britten was an Old Greshamian and wanted to sing at the School he had attended as a young teenager.
The choirs will sing individually and together in a mixed programme of accompanied and a cappella English and American music and include Britten’s Hymn to the Virgin, a choral piece Britten wrote whilst a pupil at Gresham’s in 1930.
This concert forms part of the Gresham’s Britten Arts Festival which celebrates the centenary of this great composer. Details of all concerts and events can be found on www.greshams.com/ britten100 or in the souvenir brochure on sale at the concert.

Grumpy Old Man
way of filling schedules with the home-made antics of both public and celebrity participants, none of whom requires any fees because ‘it’s for charity, innit?’ Quite frankly it has become officially organised national begging with menaces on a massive scale : ‘Give us your bloomin’ wonga’ (or we will label you selfish, mean and heartless by default).
I suppose I shall be castigated for saying this but, for me, the fact that Comic Relief is finally over and television and radio programmes can, for a brief period, cease battering our collective consciences is the real relief. It may be heresy to say so, but I don’t think I am alone in being heartily sick and tired of the seemingly endless procession of habitual do-gooding events which increasingly dominate the annual round.
What sort of society have we become? Every organised event, for sport, entertainment or amusement now attracts people seeking sponsorship for a ‘worthy cause’ whilst taking part. This constant demand for our attention and our money has, I think, become excessive and instead of a warm feeling engendered by a natural impulse
Each major event – Children in Need, Sport Relief, Comic Relief – expands its time, effort and scope each year (just like Christmas which kicks off in September) so that the periods of calm in between when the exhortations and hype die down, become steadily shorter. It has reached a stage when I refer to BBC 1 as ‘the charity channel’. What is more I have a feeling that it is a means of providing our taxpayer-funded state broadcaster with an easy
to help those less fortunate, we end up either beaten into submission or so hardened to it all that we just shut our senses to the continual blandishments and batten down the hatches over our natural kind instincts in order to cope with the whole problem of charity overkill. What, if anything, can be done to scale it back to a sensitive level?
'Editor's Note - we pride ourselves on being a community publication and as such we endeavour to allow all our readers the opportunity to express their views, regardless of our own personal opinions. Our Grumpy Old Man column has provoked quite a few readers' replies in its time and we feel that this particular article will be no exception - so if you would like to reply to him via our paper please do feel free to put pen to paper - I anticipate a full postbag!'

more complicated, so Round Table are looking for you to come to the aid of today’s modern man.
In order to produce its authoritative finishing school guide, Round Table wants your idea of essential man skills. Whether it’s pouring the perfect pint, competent DIY skills or knowing how to compliment a woman, Sheringham and Cromer Round Table wants to hear from you!
Cait Allen, from Round Table UK, said: “Round Table has been built around providing a network of advice and camaraderie for men aged 18-45 since 1927, and therefore our members are well placed to give guidance to men.
“But we are also appealing to people in Sheringham and Cromer to send us their thoughts with the aim of using the responses we receive to produce a definitive guide to becoming an all-round modern day gentleman!”
People who have tips or ideas of things that should (or should not) be included in Round Table’s guide should email communications@roundtable.org.uk
Round Table offers a wide range of social and sporting activities in the local community, as well as personal development skills including event organisation, public speaking, and of course knowing how to have fun.

Don’t make it easy for thieves
With the clocks having gone forward at the end of last month, householders across Norfolk are being urged not to make it easy for potential thieves.
Officers are advising people to pay extra attention to home and vehicle security with the onset of lighter nights – often seen as an opportunist time for this type of crime.
Chief Superintendent Nick Dean said: “Most thefts are carried out by opportunist thieves. The coming summer months can bring with them thieves on the look-out for lapses in security – such as doors and windows left open or property left on display at beauty spot car parks. People are advised to be aware and make use of simple crime prevention methods which deprive thieves of the opportunity to steal.”
Norfolk Constabulary offers the following advice to residents:
WINDOWS • Always lock your windows when you leave the house. • Remove the keys and keep them in a safe place. However, everyone should know where the keys are kept so they can escape in an emergency. DOORS • Keep your front and back doors locked or in view when you are at home. • Use or consider fitting a door chain and spy hole - a chain allows you to speak to the caller without opening the door fully and the spy hole also you to see who is at the door. • Fit five lever mortice locks to all external doors. • Check your cylinder locks on
Anyone with information about thieves operating in their area should contact Norfolk Constabulary on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.
patio/plastic doors and ensure they are snap and bump resistant - a local Master Locksmith can advise if you are not sure.
KEYS • Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place such as under the doormat, burglars know all the usual hiding places. • Never leave your house or car keys in or near a door or window.

Attention should also be paid to the security of SHEDS AND GARAGES and to the property stored within.
Daytime 07736 516644 Evening 01263 823469
PARKED CARS – especially those left in remote areas such as beauty spots – should be left locked and secure with no property left on display and satellite navigation devices, car audio equipment, cameras, handbags and laptops should be removed from the vehicle entirely.
No Job too big or too small Bathrooms - Kitchens Fencing - Carpentry Electrics - Plumbing Tiling - Decorating Patios - Jet Washing All aspects of Home Improvement
People attending LARGE SCALE EVENTS or out and about in busy areas should be mindful of thieves and keep handbags closed and mobile phones out of sight and kept securely on their person.
Chief Superintendent Dean added: “Norfolk is an extremely safe place to live and your chances of being a victim of such crimes still remain extremely low, but you should consider making your house look like someone is at home. Don’t become an easy target. We would also encourage people to be a good neighbour If anyone is spotted acting suspiciously in your neighbourhood, call the police."

edition lists the following jobs to do in April, weather permitting.
After a fascinating talk and demonstration on ‘The Magic of Woad’ at our March meeting the members focus turns from blue to yellow in preparation for the Spring Show which strongly features daffodils.
The bad weather has already caused the cancellation of the Cromer Show and we can only hope that there will be a few flowers out in Sheringham before 18 April when our Spring Show and social evening will be held at St. Joseph’s Parish Centre. The hall will be open for staging from 7pm until 7.45 pm and there will be a Spring Quiz while the flowers are judged.
There are 20 different classes, nine for daffodils, two for tulips and then classes for other flowers including primroses, pansies, polyanthus, shrubs and pot plants. This show is for members only but anyone can join on the night and take part in the competitions. Please contact me if you want any more
1. Watch out for late frosts and protect more tender plants with fleece.
2. Plant lilies, cannas, dahlias and other summer-flowering bulbous plants in pots and borders.
3. When the soil warms up sow vegetable seeds such as carrots, turnips, peas, broad beans, spinach and lettuce.
4. Tidy borders, pull up weeds, feed with a general purpose fertiliser and apply mulch.

Sheringham Ladies Golf Club - £4,400 raised for The Friends of Kelling hospital.
Sheringham Golf Club’s outgoing Ladies Captain, Lesley Goodman celebrated the end of her year by presenting a cheque for £4,400 to Carol Sexton, Chair of The Friends of Kelling Hospital. The money was raised through the hard work and generosity of the Ladies Section, through golf competitions, raffles, donations and a bridge drive. Lesley thanked all the ladies for their support for this very worthwhile local cause. Donations from local businesses came from: Hayes and Storr, Icarus Hines, Blyth and Wright, Straits Fish and Chips, The Lobster Public House, The Photographers Gallery, Norfolk Homes, Paul Howell builder, . Their business were advertised during golf functions in return for a small donation. Crayford and Abbs provided a car which could have been won if a player achieved a hole-in-one at a large charity day held in October. Sadly no one won the car but 111 golfers enjoyed the opportunity to try for it! Carol thanked Lesley for her hard work in raising such a wonderful amount. It will be put to good use at Kelling Hospital. The Friends are currently building a conservatory which will provide a much needed day room for patients and their visitors. Pictured with Lesley and Carol is Pam Barwick, the Ladies Captain for 2013/4.

New rules to stop cover ups of poor care
The Coalition announced new rules last month to prevent cases of poor care being covered up.
The announcement came as part of the Government’s response to the public inquiry into the failings at Mid Staffordshire hospital which saw up to 1,200 patients die because of poor care.
Robert Francis QC, who led the inquiry, recommended that there should be a legal duty of candour to ensure that patients and families are informed if treatment or care has caused death or serious injury. There should also be an explanation of what has happened.
Commenting, North Norfolk MP and Minister of State for Care and Support Norman Lamb said ‘This was a Liberal Democrat manifesto
commitment that we are delivering on in Coalition. Poor care is simply unacceptable and staff at every level have a professional duty to speak up about it – and we will support them in doing so. The last Labour Government ignored calls from the Liberal Democrats and from campaigners to introduce a duty of candour. The new statutory duty of candour sends a very clear message about the importance of transparency and openness in the NHS’.
Commenting on Radio 4’s Today programme prior to the announcement, campaigner Peter Walsh, from Action against Medical Accidents said ‘This would be probably the biggest advance in patient safety and patients’ rights in the history of the NHS’.
Sheringham Independent 365 April 13th 2013 12
There will also be a new role of Chief Inspector of Social Care to oversee the care received by elderly and vulnerable people, whether care homes or in their own home. The Chief Inspector will be responsible for driving up standards of care – and also highlighting examples of great care.
Commenting, Mr Lamb said ‘The idea is it will be a very high-profile public role, very much on the side of patients. I felt it was important that the lessons about high-quality care for patients in hospitals should also apply across the care system. It doesn’t matter what setting people are in – whether in hospital, in a care home or receiving care in their own home, we want to ensure the same high standards apply’.

Did you have a relative in the Merchant Navy in World War Two?
Those who served on merchant ships have been a largely forgotten part of World War Two. Yet without their sacrifice, Britain could not have survived for more than a few days.
Time is running out to collect the stories of those brave men who served in the Merchant Navy on dangerous convoys across the Atlantic, into the frozen Arctic, down the hazardous North Sea channels or further afield in the Med or Far Eastern seas.
We are running a project supported by Heritage Lottery Fund and would like any reader to send us information about a relative, friend or neighbour who served during the war. Perhaps you are a veteran yourself with a story to tell. We are calling our project 'Unsung Heroes Not Sinking Without Trace'. I hope that you can help us make sure

Maria Ball has done the right thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Norman Lamb
Maria Ball, Chair of the East of England Ambulance Trust, has resigned with immediate effect. The announcement comes after the Trust was found to be failing to meet key standards on the care and welfare of people who use the service, during a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
There have been long-running complaints and concerns about ambulance waiting times in rural parts of the county. The CQC report praised frontline staff but highlighted slow response times to emergency calls and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant inequity of serviceâ&#x20AC;? between rural and urban areas. It is the first time an ambulance trust anywhere in the country has been found to be failing on this measure.
Norman Lamb, MP for North Norfolk, has been pursuing this issue relentlessly for more than a year and has met with the Trust several times since October 2011. He was promised action plans and improvements, but these promises were not delivered.
Commenting, Norman Lamb said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that Maria Ball has done the right thing. The performance of the Trust has caused enormous concern in Norfolk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential now that we get strong leadership to turn this Trust around and to ensure that local people have a service that they can rely on.â&#x20AC;?

Laser Facelift at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic
More and more patients with busy lives are looking for less invasive treatments with less downtime to improve their profile and tightness of their face and neck. The laser assisted face and neck lift is an exciting, effective, and safe option for patients who wish to tighten the skin and underlying tissues of their face and neck. For good candidates, liquefying a small amount of fat to smooth the contours and heating the underlying tissues to tighten the skin may be the answer they are looking for.
We like it best as it avoids a tell-tale skin incision or scar in front of the ear. Any surgical procedure can cause a scar so we try and avoid this risk by not cutting the skin.
Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCAAM, Medical Director and Laser Surgeon at the Coltishall Clinic explains- “We use the newest generation of laser-assisted lipolysis [fat-destroying] and skin tightening devices. This is a third generation laser using wavelengths that allows the melting of fat and the heating of soft tissue to stimulate collagen formation to tighten the overlying skin. When used on the face, it is called a Laser Facelift.”
When to Choose the Laser Assisted Facelift Treatment...
Laser assisted facelifting is great for men or women. A good candidate for this procedure is: • in good general health • not smoking • has localised areas of fat in the jowl area and under the chin • has good skin integrity.
Skin tightening alone can be accomplished on underweight patients. Dr Gheyi will examine your face and neck to determine if you are a good candidate. A laser facelift is safer than and more economical than a traditional full face or neck lift.
How does the Laser Facelift Work?
Dilute solution of a local anaesthetic is used to numb the areas treated on the face and neck. This can be done with minimal discomfort. You can be listening to your favourite music while this is being done.
Once the area is numbed, three or four tiny 1mm openings are made, one behind each earlobe, and one or two under the chin.
Small hollow metallic tubes called cannulas are passed through the fatty layer under the skin to make tunnels.
Then, a tiny 0.6 mm laser fibre is passed through fat between the skin and the muscles. The laser energy heats the surrounding tissue. This stimulates collagen formation and assists in skin and tissue tightening. The amount of tightening greatly depends on skin type, age, elasticity, general health and other factors.
Lastly, a small amount of fat, the amount varies from patient to patient, is suctioned away when needed.
Laser facial sculpting is less invasive and less traumatic to tissues than a traditional facelift. Therefore, there is less downtime for recovery. Most patients are able to resume work in two to five days and return to all usual activity, including vigorous exercise, within two weeks. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort in the initial post-operative period with gradual resolution of discomfort in the following days to weeks. Snugness of the skin may be experienced for a matter of months.
Coltishall Clinic offers a full range of Cosmetic Medical and Surgical Laser procedures. We offer a range of solutions including non-surgical face and neck lifts, liquid facelifts, thread lifts and now the innovative laser facelift.
To find out more information or to watch a treatment video log on to the website
www.coltishallclinic.co.uk or call us on 0800 0430737 to book your consultation.
Recovery and Results
Typically, only one treatment is required to obtain optimal results.
Initial results can be seen within one week, with continued improvement over the next three to four months as tissues continue to tighten and heal. Some patients may benefit from a limited incision or mini-lift at the same time if they have significant sagging in the jowl area. This can also be combined with a thread lift for additional tightening.

After the Laser Facelift, your face will be wrapped in a gauze compression dressing. The next day, you will be fitted into a facial compression garment. Under most circumstances, compression will be recommended for three to four days followed by nightly use only. Compression helps to push out swelling, decrease scar tissue formation, and promote smoothness of the treated tissues.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
When cats come into care they experience a completely different environment to that which they have been used to. Some join us from homes where they have received lots of loving care, others have been badly treated by their owners and some have been living outside for some time. Although they will be treated with kindness and affection, receive regular meals and have any problems/conditions attended to they are confined to an area much smaller that what they are used to. Some settle into their new accommodation straight away while others will take time to accept the changes in their lives. Timid cats usually benefit from having somewhere to hide and provision is made for them to do so. Some others react by hissing and growling and we find the best policy is to ignore the cats, get on with the feeding and cleaning and they will soon come round. We find it is best for the cat to settle at its own
North Norfolk beach huts and chalets – get 50% off weekly hire
Having a base by the sea makes spending time at the beach so much easier, whether you use it to store beach essentials, as a place to get changed after a dip, or just want to shelter with a flask and a book from bracing breezes. And North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) is giving local residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a seaside beach hut or chalet at half price from early April to the end of June this year.
Subject to availability, this very special offer applies to weekly lets of beach huts in Mundesley, Sheringham and Cromer from 6 April to 29 June. Prices Stable normally startYard, at £45 per week, so some lucky 5 Old Holt people will be able to enjoy a hut or chalet for a week on one of north Successfully and letting Norfolk’s fabulous beachesmanaging for less than £23, making it just over £3 a day, for up to a maximum of three weeks!

pace and this always works, given time.
The same applies but in reverse when a cat leaves us with its new family. They are leaving us to take up residence in a far larger space with lots of new noises and sometimes new companions (feline or otherwise). This is particularly true when applied to kittens who may been with us since birth. Sometimes a cat will arrive at its new home and react as if it has always been there but this is the exception rather than the rule. We usually suggest the cat is confined to one or two rooms to begin with, their food dishes and litter trays placed in quiet corners (but not together) and allowed to get used to their new home gradually. Some cats may hide and Stephanie gets calls from worried new owners when this happens. She advises them that it is best to let them come out when they feel comfortable to do so and just give them time. We cannot emphasise enough how important it is not to worry if your new cat is not immediately a lap cat but that with time and patience they will settle and be the cat you were looking for. If you acknowledge this fact the transition period will be so much easier for your family and the cat.
If you are looking for a cat or kitten please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively you can visit www.cats.org.uk/ northwalsham for a description and photographs of the cats before giving a call on the above number.

Local groups come together to promote community transport schemes
How to promote and expand on community car schemes to help people get to their doctor and hospital appointments was the topic of discussion at a meeting in Cromer last month organised by local MP Norman Lamb.
There are a number of such schemes operating in different parts of North Norfolk, all on slightly different lines. Many fundraise to help cover costs and some also run social events in the local community. All depend on a pool of volunteer drivers, many of them retired, and a dedicated co-ordinator to match those drivers up with requests for transport.
For example: • Aldborough Village Care also runs a lunch club for local residents • Holt Caring Society covers Holt surgery patients and has been going for twenty years or more • Ludham Village car scheme, covering Ludham parish was established in February 2012 and since it began has provided transport to over 300 appointments • North Norfolk Community Transport (formerly North Walsham Area Community Transport) is probably the largest scheme, covering North Walsham and the surrounding area • Potter Heigham Good Neighbour scheme also provides transport for people to do their shopping and runs a free monthly tea
afternoon • Wroxham, Hoveton and Belaugh Community Care has been going since 1986 and covers transport to any medical appointment for patients of the local practice
However, in some areas – notably Sheringham and Cromer – there is nothing at all, meaning people who cannot drive are forced to rely on taxis or public transport to get to appointments at the local surgery and the Norfolk & Norwich hospital.
Commenting, Norman Lamb said: “My mother was lucky enough to have the Holt Caring Society scheme available to help her get to hospital appointments in recent months. It is a fantastic scheme, very simple, very local, but of real practical benefit. It is a lifeline for people like my mum who does not drive herself. Schemes such as this in other communities are invaluable for local residents. However, it is a lottery - some people are not so fortunate. I am regularly contacted by constituents about this issue. Public transport from rural North Norfolk into Norwich for a hospital appointment is simply not a realistic option for people. The question is, what can we do for ourselves to improve the situation? The existing schemes were set up by individuals who saw a problem in their community, and saw a simple way to fix it. We will be looking at whether there is scope for groups to work together to help cover
the gaps. What more can we do to promote and extend existing schemes, and what support can we provide to people who may be thinking about establishing a scheme in their own area? The meeting was a chance to get the relevant people talking to each other and find answers to these questions. The community car schemes we have in North Norfolk show what you can do with a small group of like-minded people focused on finding practical solutions.”
Tracy Jessop, Assistant Director for Environment, Transport & Development at Norfolk County Council said “Small vehicle schemes are an important component of the transport mix and a valuable resource, particularly for health transport. In challenging financial times, it’s vital that we all work together to make best use of limited resources. I'm hoping this will be the first step in getting wider provision in north Norfolk.”
Mrs Spindler, a resident of Worstead who has used the North Norfolk Community Transport scheme, said "The MediCar service is a lifeline. I have no transport of my own and my son is at work all day, so he cannot take me to the hospital. I don't know what I would do without it as there is no bus to take me." She went on to praise the "helpfulnessness of the drivers, in particular the "care and attention" that they give her.
SOS Radio Week 2013 Cheque Presentation
On the morning of Sunday 17 March members of the Bittern DX Group (amateur radio) involved with the GB5SLB SES, part of SOS Radio Week 2013 back in January returned to Sheringham Lifeboat Station to officially present them with the cheque. After a very quick ceremony BDXG Chairman Steve Balding G7VRK handed over £475 to David Hagan, Senior Helmsman of the lifeboat on the slipway.
Online donations of £25 have already been forwarded to RNLI HQ via the
Shortthorn’s
group’s Just Giving page so in total the GB5SLB event raised £500, a fantastic end to a wonderful SES! These funds were raised mostly from a raffle with the 1st prize of a Celebration Cake by “Mellie Makes Cakes” from Happisburgh along with generous donations. They are already looking for prizes for 2014 should anyone be able to assist, please contact this event’s organiser Ken Holloway MØSHK via the group’s website www.bittern-dxers.org.uk or contact the Secretary for any further information of future events etc.

North Norfolk Concert Band Comes To Sheringham!
Petition set up for Vodafone customers to detail anger over signal problems
A petition has been set up to record comments about the on-going Vodafone signal problems that have continued to inconvenience businesses and traders, tourists, and residents in the north Norfolk area since October.
Last month Vodafone assured customers that all faulty hardware at local masts had been replaced - but could not guarantee that faults wouldn't occur further down the line. And over the Easter weekend customers living across Mundesley, North Walsham, Aylsham, Cromer, and Sheringham have suffered from the issue again.
- www.vodafonenfk.com -
which it hopes will detail public anger to provide to Vodafone representatives, after being approached by disappointed business owners and residents.
Jono Read, press officer for North Norfolk Labour Party, said: "The statements from Vodafone are simply not good enough. They are expecting customers to fulfil their contract with the firm - but Vodafone cannot offer guarantees that they will their contract with their customers in north Norfolk.
Vodafone representatives are offering conflicting advice, with some asking customers to shell out more money for the equipment to help boost signals, while others are getting theirs free. They need to compensate all involved.
We are particularly concerned by the way Vodafone are treating some of those trying to leave their contracts early - with one local lady threatened with debt collectors and ending up in a small claims over the issue."

If you enjoy Big Bands, Concert Bands you will certainly be in for a treat in St. Peter’s, Sheringham, on Friday 19 April at 7.30pm.
The band plays a wide variety of music, from seriously classical to arrangements of jazz classics, pop and film music. The programme for this concert will include music by Vaughan Williams, Deep Purple, Rogers and Hammerstein, Stravinsky and from Disney films, among others.
The Band was formed four years ago in the Autumn of 2009 when Howard Rooke - formerly Head of Music at Sheringham High School placed an advertisement asking wind players to get in touch with the aim of forming a band. In the first place, about sixteen players came forward, and rehearsals duly began, first of all in Bodham Village Hall, and later, as the band grew, Gresham Village Hall – it got to be just too loud at Bodham! It now has a rapidly growing group of supporters - no wonder, when you hear them play!
North Norfolk Labour Party has since set up a petition

Changes to Legal Aid
By Neale Grearson, Partner and Collaborative Lawyer at Hayes + Storr
From April 2013 there will be major changes in the public funding of legal costs for family work. The availability of legal aid has reduced over recent years with less people being financially eligible and the number of firms of solicitors offering legal aid reducing. The further cut backs will mean that from April 2013 legal aid as we have known it will no longer be available.
Until now those people financially eligible had been entitled to advice from a solicitor on such things as divorce and separation to include financial disputes and arrangements for their children on a relationship breakdown. From April 2013 only those cases involving domestic violence will legal aid be granted for. This will leave a large group of people that had previously been able to receive legal aid not receiving this. The situation has been deteriorating with the number of firms offering legal aid reducing so that it has been very difficult for even those financially eligible to find a local solicitor able to offer them legal aid. From now on very few people will qualify for legal aid.
The government has stated it is committed to individuals finding alternative ways of resolving disputes rather than the courts being involved. Mediation will continue to be funded under the legal aid system that remains and individuals are being encouraged to take
more responsibility for their lives and the repercussions of a separation. Collaborative law and other methods of avoiding court involvement will become even more important. Collaborative law is one of the methods of individuals keeping control of the situation and in a more common sense way meeting and reaching decisions rather than these being imposed by a Judge.
The government’s view is that in a situation where there are limited resources funds cannot be made available for legal aid to cover an individuals divorce. This competes with the provision of other public services such as hospitals or schools. However, the knock on effect is that many people experiencing the most difficult period of their lives may find themselves without legal advice and making decisions that will have massive long term effects on their lives. Not taking legal advice is a big decision that someone could regret for a long time as you only get “one bite of the cherry” in dealing with the repercussions of a separation or a divorce.
The courts are expecting an influx of people representing themselves without solicitors because they cannot afford to have solicitor act for them. This could cause a meltdown in the court system which is already under pressure from its own financial cutbacks. Relationship breakdown can be a very emotional time and if people are representing themselves they do not have the same objectivity and professionalism that a solicitor will bring to negotiations or any court proceedings. The courts and Judges are therefore expecting considerable problems. The role of solicitors will be even more important especially in situations where both parties to a divorce are not represented. Collaborative law and mediation as means of keeping control of the process and reducing the legal costs involved will be increasingly popular. Alternative methods of funding legal costs will also become more common such as children asking their parents or other relatives to assist them.

THE WOODGATE NURSERY ANNUAL CHARITY GARDENING EVENT This is a real opportunity for everyone who loves their garden to obtain great ideas, tips and specialist advice from local experts.
Flower Show, they could well be the team to beat.
Spread over a whole weekend there is plenty of time to visit and no excuse not to bring the children. Entice them with the promise of getting up close with the birds of prey from the Seal and Bird Rescue Trust, a treasure trail within the Nursery grounds, planting seeds to take home and, if they are good, lunch or a cake from Purdyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tea room.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, on 18th and 19th May, also brings together five local garden designers competing to win the Woodgate Nursery Best Garden Design Award, voted for by you. Not only will you be inspired and find out how to create these differing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;looksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in your garden, but by simply voting you will automatically be entered into a prize draw, with a ÂŁ50 garden voucher as first prize.
Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner, Woodgate Nursery, will be trying to retain their trophy; and after winning Gold, Best in Show and Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice for their show garden at the 2012 Sandringham
Peter Purdy, Woodgate Nursery owner said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who currently visit us know that we have quality plants and offer great advice, this event just takes this ethos to the next level and a wider audience. We hope that it gives everyone, from the novice to the experienced gardener the opportunity to access a broad range of expert gardening advice for free, whilst also being a fun day out for all the family and helping to raise some money for a good cause..â&#x20AC;? Purdyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea Room will be open as usual from 10am to 5pm and will be offering a selection of light lunches, freshly baked cakes and scones, Lavazza coffee and speciality teas.
Perhaps you want to create the perfect lawn (or one a little better than your neighbours) then you will want to make a beeline for Green Thumb lawn care or Mobile Mowers garden machinery equipment . There will also be demonstrations from Woodgate Forge, Drew Charlton Willow Fencing and Rutland Willow weaving, craft stands, Norfolk Farm Shepherds Huts and other vegetable growing and garden structures.
Although the event is free entry, there will be collection buckets available for anyone wishing to make a donation to the Air Ambulance, with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event raising over ÂŁ600.
The Woodgate Nursery Garden Design and Advice Weekend is from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May. See www.woodgatenursery.co.uk for more details. Woodgate,Nursery, Cawston Road, Aylsham, NR11 6UH. 01263 731510

Edgefield Village Hall receives new doors from Tesco after flooding
Following serious flooding in 2012, a grant from Tesco’s Sheringham Community Fund has enabled the Edgefield Village Hall to obtain three new doors. The doors will eliminate future flooding.
Edgefield Village Hall is an historic building of the 19th century, originally used as the village school and as with most village halls in the area is in need of constant attention.
The village hall is the hub of the village and is used extensively for the clubs in the village, the church, Yoga classes and entertainment throughout the year. Coming up in April is a world film night and a village barn sale as well as all the usual meetings and coffee mornings. In March the NVHA chose Edgefield for their Annual conference, lunch and AGM.
Mrs. Anne Walker, a local resident and Chairwoman of the Tuesday Club, had this to say about the Hall - “The village would be lost without it.”
Dawn Hulbert, Chair of the Hall, conveyed her own enthusiasm “I am involved with the Village Hall as it is the centre of the community. It’s where everything happens and it enables everyone to come together for enjoyable events.”
Simon Petar, Tesco Corporate Affairs Manager, said “We are pleased to support the village hall as it continues to act as a central place for villagers to socialise and partake in regular entertainment.”
Tesco has set up the Sheringham Community Fund which will give out small grants of up to £1,500 from a pool of £50,000 over the next two years.
Cantamus Community Choir
Fifteen years ago Hilda Kitchen, now resident of Overstrand, together with a small group of friends sang Sir John Stainer’s “The Crucifixion” on Good Friday. From this (Easter) egg grew the Cantamus Community Choir and the tradition to repeat the performance annually. So it was that on Good Friday, St. Martin Church, Overstrand was full with a participating audience to sing the hymns and listen to Cantamus and “Friends” once again singing “The Crucifixion”.
The anniversary event was all the more special as Cantamus resident pianist Matthew Bond made his conducting debut leading Hilda and many other old and new “Friends” who reunited with Cantamus to sing. Brent Palmer and Simon Gray were the principal bass and tenor soloists and David Ballard, Cantamus’ resident conductor, displayed more musical talent playing the church organ.
Matthew Bond with Hilda
Cantamus would like to thank audience and friends for making the evening a glorious start to Easter. Please join us again next year. In the meantime, Cantamus are rehearsing for their 17 May concert of Vivaldi’s “Gloria” together with English part-songs and folk songs. If you would like to sing with us, come along to a rehearsal; Thursday at 7.30pm in St. James Church, Southrepps, NR11 8NR. Our members come from Sheringham, Mundesley, North Walsham and towns/villages in between. So if you would like to join Cantamus but transport is a problem, please contact David 07785 782498 as a lift may be possible. No audition or experience is required, just a desire to have fun (we laugh a lot) and sing.

Briston’s Musical Multi-Handyman!
Despite the cold weather, the Briston Organ Show last month was still a well-attended affair, with a warm audience thrilling to the superb playing of top keyboard artist Jon Smith, who had travelled down in atrocious weather all the way from Sheffield!
Using a Yamaha Tyros keyboard and a Wersi performer organ, he gave us two hours of solid top quality live music - at times even playing both instruments at the same time, as well as singing!
His programme included the ever popular 'Forgotten Dreams', but uniquely played as
a waltz(!), the bouncy 'Come Follow The Band' from Barnum, some stunning vocals with 'The Nearness of You' and 'S'Wonderful', toetappers like 'Save The Last Dance For Me' and 'Black Is Black', and for organ enthusiasts we got a good selection of bouncy 'Blackpool' numbers played in true Wurlitzer style! His gentle humour filled in the gaps between items, and the audience all roared for an encore as the evening came to a close.
MC Mick Leary told the audience that the show had raised £120 for the Copeman Centre Funds, and nearly £60 for the Air Ambulance, so the evening was a good result for everyone.
There are about eight organ shows in Briston each year - the next is on Friday 10 May, when top UK organist Steve Hubble will be at the Copeman Centre for the first time.
Tickets are just £6, with under 16s getting in for just £3.
Advance booking is always essential, and you can reserve your tickets now by telephoning Carol on 01263 860844.
Perhaps we might see you there as well next time!

The Minutes of the meeting held 26th February 2013 were distributed and found to be a correct - Proposed by Lion Arthur and Seconded by Lion Derick - vote carried with 1 abstention.
Matters Arising: There were no matters arising. President’s Report: LP Anton said he had attending Zone Meeting on 27th February at Dereham and outlined the items that were discussed especially the question of memberships as follows: “At the Zone Meeting both Lion President Anton and Taverham’s Lion President Bob Boothroyd expressed their joint wish that our Club could be Chartered prior to achieving a membership of 20, in effect ignoring the long standing rule in respect of new clubs in small towns/areas. It was reported that there was no interest in assisting either Taverham or Sheringham. Various ideas were put forward but were all rejected (a special presentation at the forthcoming convention in Norwich being one)”. Lion Trevor suggested that Taverham Club write a letter to Editor of the Lion Magazine as there must be other Branch Clubs in the country who are in the same position as ourselves. Hopefully the letter will get published and inspire some feedback. It was agreed that S & C Club will view the letter prior to mailing.

He went on to ask members to make every effort to sell all the tickets so that we do not end up out of pocket. Stubbs should be returned to Lion Brian by 31st March in order to make the draw on 1st April (Easter Monday). Lion Trevor said that they would be attending the Wroxham & Hoveton Clubs motor show again this year which is at The Norwich Showground on 10/11th August and if anyone would like help they would be most welcome.

An EACH band for your hand North Norfolk Speakers Club
North Norfolk Speakers Club held an International Speech Contest and Evaluation Contest in North Walsham on Wednesday 6 March.
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has launched a new wristband to raise vital funds and awareness for the charity.
The EACH wristbands are in the charity’s branded purple and orange colours and feature the EACH logo. They’ll be on sale online, in EACH shops and at fundraising events.
Melanie Chew, EACH Director of Fundraising, said: “We’re really pleased with the new wristbands and are confident they’ll be popular with our supporters. They’re a great way to raise funds and because they’re really colourful they’ll be noticed and help us to raise the profile and awareness of EACH too.”
The event was well attended and the standard of speakers notably high. Club President Gillian Beecroft was Contest Chair for the International Speech Contest, which was won by Carolyn Williams for her speech ‘The Story of a Somerset Lad’. David Ley won the Evaluation Contest, for which Kay Daze was Contest Chair.
Both winning contestants represented North Norfolk Speakers Club at the Area Contest on Monday 25 March, in Dereham. Against stiff competition, David Ley won second place in the Evaluation Contest.
The wristbands are available from the EACH website www.each.org.uk/wristband and cost £1.50 including postage and packaging. They will also be sold in EACH shops and at events for £1. The launch of the wristbands follows the success of The EACH Bracelet which was designed by Ed Sheeran’s mum Imogen, features orange and purple ‘smartie-style’ beads and retails at £10. The EACH Bracelet was worn by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge when she visited The Treehouse in March last year which boosted sales.
Spring is here Give a cheer Spring is here, It’s the prettiest time of the year, Though every day it has been snowing, It hasn’t stopped the snowdrops from showing. Blossom is opening on the trees And I can hear the hum of bees. Primroses and daffodils make a great display, These lovely flowers really brighten my day.
Diane Berthelot

North Norfolk Speakers Club meets every other Wednesday at 7pm at North Walsham High School, Spencer Avenue. New members and guests are always welcome. For further information please visit www.nnsc.co.uk or telephone Gillian 01692 650250.

Actors Kim Cattrall, Sienna Guillory and Jude Law, chefs The Fabulous Baker Brothers and England rugby ace Austin Healey are among those who have shared photographs of the places that mean the most to them as part of a nationwide initiative by the National Trust to celebrate the importance of ‘special places’ in people’s lives.
The campaign follows research undertaken by the charity which found that 84 per cent of Brits have a favourite place they go to which positively affects their wellbeing and happiness.
Photographs by the celebrities are being showcased on a new app created by the National Trust to encourage people to share their favourite place and why it means so much to them. The app will also feature places that are important to National Trust staff and volunteers and members of the public.
Alex Green, Learning officer at Brancaster Millennium Activity Centre in Norfolk is just one of the Trust’s many staff who has shared the place that means the most to her:
“Each of the places we look after has its own individual story but is also uniquely special in thousands of people’s lives for thousands of different reasons. The National Trust is all about championing the importance of special places and we want to get the nation involved in discovering or revisiting their favourite place and sharing it with friends and family.

Brancaster Harbour is such a magical place, particularly during the summer holidays, my friends and I would spend every waking hour down there, either sailing when the tide was in, or mud sliding in the creeks when the tide was out. Our washing machine suffered under the strain of all my muddy clothes and my bed was always full of sand - but I had the best time growing up in Brancaster Staithe and wouldn’t have swapped it for the world.”

The nation can also register their special place and tell everyone why they love it at www.facebook.com/nationaltrust and #specialplaces
Crown Inn Supports EAAA
On Monday 25 March Jamie Edgehill from East Anglian Air Ambulance was invited to a cheque presentation at The Crown Inn Sheringham by landlord Bob Brewster where he was delighted to accept a cheque for £2,000, ‘a fantastic sum of money for a very valuable service’.
The money was raised from quiz night donations by customers participating in weekly quizzes throughout last year and also a Christmas raffle.
On behalf of East Anglia Air Ambulance Jamie would like to thank Bob Brewster, Quiz Master Bill Hartland, Christine Tew (Christmas Raffle) and all members of the public who kindly took part and donated money each week.
Jamie continues ‘Because of the very friendly atmosphere I decided to stay and join in the quiz with four very friendly people. EAAA are very lucky to have members of the public who attend week after week on a Monday night to raise money for charity. Once again many thanks to you all at the Crown Inn Sheringham.’ Sheringham Independent 365 April 13th 2013
David’s magical, fantastical pruper Narrwich Sticky Toffee Puddin’ (bor)
This week’s recipe comes from the fiery imagination of David Chattenden, my chef de partie here at the Grove. He’s found his way to the quiet backwater of Cromer from the hustle, bustle and bright lights of Norwich, which of course means he uses some big words from time to time, but we usually just understand what he’s saying and I have to say that he does make the most incredible sticky toffee pudding.
The season is upon us after a long, cold winter and the Grove is already very busy. The house itself always seems to enjoy being full with people and I do hope you get the chance to come up and see us for lunch, dinner, the best Sunday roast in North Norfolk, or to look round our brand new Orchard Rooms, five guest bedrooms set in the grounds which are already proving a massive hit.
In the meantime, enjoy David’s Sticky Toffee Puddin’, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
INGREDIENTS
The Puddin’ 200g dates, stoned and chopped 250ml black tea (not too strong) ½ tsp. bicarbonate of soda 85g soft, unsalted butter
175g self-raising flour 1 tsp. mixed spice 175g soft demerrara sugar 2 eggs (beaten) 1 orange (zested) 150g chopped walnuts
The sauce 100g dark muscavado sugar 100g unsalted butter 140ml double cream
METHOD
Heat the oven to 180c
Boil the dates and tea in a saucepan to soften the dates, stir in bicarbonate of soda and set aside
For the sauce: melt the butter on a low heat, add the sugar and boil until well the sugar is dissolved, then lastly add the cream.
Beat together the sugar and butter until pale and creamy, and then fold in the egg, flour, mixed, orange zest and chopped walnuts. It has been a creative Spring at Sheringham Evening WI with local artists and crafters coming in to help Add the dates and run a ‘have a go at something new night’. Activities tea. included Teabag folding with Jo Dyer of Creative Sewing in Sheringham, Mix and pour into Acrylic abstract painting with local artist Val Roots, shell craft and posy a buttered tin and making.

U13 Boys’ Hockey team ROTARY LEARNS MORE come second in Nationals ABOUT WHIZ-KIDZ
The Under 13 Boys’ Hockey team at Gresham’s Prep School in Holt have had a very successful season.
Firstly, they qualified for the National Schools finals by coming runnersup in the East Schools round of the National Hockey Tournament at Redbridge in March. In addition, at the IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools) East qualifying tournament, the Under 13 team competed against 20 other schools and went on to qualify as one of only four teams to compete at the IAPS National Finals at Millfield, which took place on Thursday 14 March. The team played some very tough matches, but delivered a high standard of hockey and progressed to the final, where they lost to Chafyn Grove on the ‘golden goal’ rule and so became the runners up in the IAPS Nationals. Last month members of Cromer and Sheringham Rotary Club were treated to an inspirational talk and presentation from Jessica Hiscocks, the East Anglian Fund-raising co-ordinator for the children’s charity Whiz-Kidz.
Whiz-Kidz was established some 25 years ago to provide disabled children with specially-adapted, powered wheel chairs and other mobility equipment to enable them to lead fun and active childhoods.
Members heard that there are currently around 70,000 disabled children and young people waiting for a type of wheel chair which would fit their particular lives. Through Whiz-Kidz’s fund raising initiatives many young people now have wheel chairs which enable them to do more activities – whether in the home, in the gym or on the sports field.
Mark Buckingham, Head of Hockey at the Prep School, said “This is a fantastic result for the team and I am really proud of all the hard work they have put in to make the National IAPS finals!"
