The money raised will be used to buy a new flag standard to be used for parade occasions, which will replace the old, worn one. A special camera to be used in sea operations and rescues will also be purchased.

Brian Farrow said “The generous donation will go towards providing the Station with a new flag standard and a GoPro Hero3 camera which is something the crew had requested.” He added that continued support from N&P and the people of Sheringham was very much appreciated.

Branch Manager Michelle said “The Sheringham Lifeboat provides a great service for Sheringham and customers regularly support our on-going book sales and events which raise money for our local RNLI. Our shop features posters supporting the charity and our customers are always happy to contribute.”

Sheringham Lifeboat Station is run entirely by volunteers from the local area who are committed to saving lives at sea. Funds are raised through the generosity of the supporters and the RNLI Shop in Sheringham High Street and at the Lifeboat Station itself.

The Lifeboat Station, which has been in existence since 1838, has been on numerous ‘shouts’ this year and continues to provide a reassuring presence for those who use the sea around Sheringham for work or leisure.

Sheringham Becoming a Fairtrade Town Coffee Morning

The first event to help Sheringham become a Fairtrade town was a Coffee Morning at St Peter's Church on Saturday 26 October.

We served Fairtrade tea, coffee, biscuits and home-made cakes plus samples of very tasty Fairtrade chocolates, biscuits and bananas, kindly donated by our local Co-op.

We are sure people enjoyed their morning as they generously donated £59.61 to help our campaign.

Future events we are planning are the Christmas Fair at the Primary School, the Lights Switch - On on 6 December and the Christmas Tree Festival from12- 17 December.

We have begun asking shops and businesses whether they sell or use Fairtrade goods. This survey is necessary if we are to become a Fairtrade Town. Thanks to the shops already asked. It only takes three or four minutes!

We’ve had a delivery of lots of board and picture books, fabulous fiction by top authors like David Walliams, Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Liz Pichon (Tom Gates) and marvellous pop up non-fiction about space, sport, the human body and much more. Reading matters! A recent Institute of Education study found that children who read for pleasure made more progress in maths, vocabulary and spelling between the ages of 10 and 16 than those who rarely read. Children who were read to regularly by their parents at age 5 performed better in all three tests at age 16 than those who were not helped in this way, although by the age of 10 children reading for pleasure was more vital to their progress than their parents’ education levels. Let us help you find your next great book. There is a good website www.whonextguide.com to look at or ask advice from a library assistant.

Come and see us soon at Sheringham Library, New Road. Tel 01263 822874 www.library.norfolk.gov.uk Open after school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and Saturday mornings

Sheringham Independent 380 November 16th 2013

Council playgrounds set for improvement North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) Cabinet is set to approve plans to spend up to £100,000 to improve children’s playgrounds in the district.

Sheringham – Cromer Road (working with Sheringham Playpark Revamp Appeal - £20,000 with the possibility of contributing up to a further £22,000 towards their scheme).

Improved signage will also be provided for 20 other sites across the district.

Following a thorough review of the 29 council-owned playgrounds in North Norfolk, a report set to be approved by the council’s Cabinet on 4 November recommends that up to £100,000 be spent on replacing and improving equipment at four sites, in North Walsham, Sheringham and Cromer.

Rhodri Oliver, NNDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Assets said “This is really good news for the communities concerned. The funds were included in this year’s budget and following a thorough assessment and the involvement of local families we have identified four potential sites for improvement. Three will go ahead very soon, in Cromer and North Walsham, while we are working with local residents to finalise ‘first phase’ improvements and then further plans for the fourth, at Cromer Road, Sheringham.”

John Lee, NNDC Cabinet Member for Leisure and Cultural Services, said “Children’s playgrounds are important for local communities. They are places not just where children can play and enjoy being with friends, but where parents can also meet, and they help to generate a real community spirit. This council wants to help local communities to help themselves, and by talking to and working with local people to improve their children’s play facilities this is exactly what we are doing here.”

The playgrounds set to benefit from the funding are: Cromer – Fernsfield (replacing unsafe equipment that had already been removed - £8,000) and The Meadow (replacing equipment that had been removed in 2012 - £32,000);

North Walsham – Acorn Road (equipment for younger children £13,000);

STEAM STRAIGHT TO SANTA

Once again, Santa Claus is setting up his Enchanted Grotto at Weybourne Station. Which, of course, means that the best way to meet him is to take a Poppy Line Santa Special steam train from Sheringham direct to the Grotto.

Advance booking is essential (visit www.nnrailway.co.uk, call 01263 820800 or pop into the office at Sheringham station), so that Santa can arrange an appropriate present for each child aged between one and 14.

On the Santa Specials, there’s a free glass of sherry and a mince pie for the grown-ups, and a soft drink and choccy treat for the children. Each booking has reserved numbered seating in decorated carriages.

Prices for adults and children range from £13.50 to £17 a head, depending on the date and time of travel. Babies up to one year old are £6. And Santa Snack Platters, a mini-feast of sandwiches, pies, cakes and festive fare for four people, can be reserved at just £24 a platter.

Jamboree on the Air at Roughton Scouts

Guides all over the world make contact with each other by means of amateur radio.

The use of amateur radio means that many Scouts get the opportunity to discover the skills of radio operating techniques and electronics. JOTA is also the only event that offers each individual Scout the opportunity to speak to other Scouts across the world.

Paul Bean M6NEC assists Scouts with their Communications badge operating from GB5FRR

In total there was 36 Scouts of various types from Buxton, Gorleston and of course Roughton groups for a weekend of activities at their Windmill headquarters. The boys and girls had plenty to keep them busy with archery, rifle shooting and abseiling etc. available along with the amateur radio aspect provided by BDXG members. Antennas were erected from the top of the old Windmill’s tower and using the SES callsign of GB5FRR contacts were made as far afield as Australia!

The object of the weekend however was not just the radio - it was to enable those Scouts interested to gain both their Communications and Electronics badges. BDXG members divided themselves into two groups to concentrate on each aspect and by end of the weekend there were four successful candidates achieving each badge requirements.

Group chairman Stephen Cordner M0HET, ably assisted by Alec Adams G3YOA and Jim Whiteside M0HPJ mainly concentrated on the Electronics badge

aspect. In this they taught the candidates soldering techniques and how to recognise various components, as well as the building of available kits plus learning how to measure voltage within the circuit. The other group comprising principally of Steve Balding G7VRK and Paul Bean M6NEC concentrated themselves on providing the aspects for the Communication badge. This requires learning how to use the radio and make contact via the airwaves, as well as listening to and the logging of callsigns plus understanding basic propagation information.

It was an interesting and successful weekend for BDXG members and all candidates were presented with their badges after lunch on the Sunday before they all left camp. We hope very much to be involved with the Scouts more in 2014 as the members enjoy it as much as the youngsters taking part in the activities at the weekend. Even our member Jim took the chance to abseil down the tower - we can’t have the Scouts having all the fun!!

Involvement with the Scouts and teaching is one of the many aspects of amateur radio undertaken by the Bittern DX Group, if you would like to know more about the hobby, getting started etc. or just about the group itself. Please contact them via the group’s website www.bittern-dxers.org.uk or the Secretary Linda Leavold G0AJJ on 01692 218592 in the evenings or weekends for further information and future events.

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER GARDENING IN THE SHADE

Some people think that to own a shady garden is a matter for sympathy but the famous garden writer, Margery Fish, feels that it is one for envy. She writes that ‘anyone with a garden without shade knows how difficult it is to grow many plants, for you cannot make shade overnight, but it is usually possible to contrive sunny spots in the shadiest gardens.’

She states that ‘If I had to choose between a sunny and a shady garden I would choose the shady one every time, not only for its peace and timelessness but also for the plants that can be grown in it. It seems to me that they are often more interesting and more beautiful than those that like to bask in the sun.’

If the whole garden can be seen at once there is a tendency to pay less attention to its treasures than if they are discovered in shady unexpected places under trees, behind walls and round corners. This was brought home to me on a recent guided walk around some of the historic gardens in the City of London close to St Paul’s Cathedral.

It is hard to imagine a more hostile situation for

gardens than in a city, surrounded by high rise buildings which create deep shade and reduce the rain falling on the soil and with winds that funnel from the River Thames and batter the trees and shrubs. Nevertheless we saw a wide variety of plants that seemed to thrive and produced little areas to calm the city workers and residents and act as refuges for wildlife.

As well as the usual plants that enjoy or survive shade such as ivies, ferns, hostas, hellebores and perhaps surprisingly hydrangeas we saw exotic trees such as a Tulip Tree, a Weeping Mulberry, a Persian Ironwood and Ginkgos. Mixed with some variegated shrubs and under planted with bulbs they produce a wonderful garden effect.

best known Lord Mayors who was buried in the nearby church of St Michael Paternoster Royal in 1423. Here Rosemary and Thyme can be found amongst the dense planting in this garden.

In Monument Street, there is a lovely garden at St Dunstan-in-the –East. The original medieval church was damaged in the Great Fire of London but was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1697 only to be damaged again in the Blitz. Now the ruins of the walls and windows are beautifully draped with ornamental vines.

In the garden grows the pineapple scented Moroccan broom and the Japanese Snowball, Viburnum plicatum.

However the memory that lingers from the walk is not necessarily the plants but also the hard landscaping within the gardens, the paving and gravel, the large planters, generous seating and the statuary. The most impressive statue was one of the ‘Barge Master and Swan Upper’ in a small garden in front of St. James Garlickhythe Church and opposite the Vintner’s Hall in Upper Thames Street which commemorates the Livery Company’s right to share with the Queen the ownership of swans on the river.

The first garden we visited was the Cleary Garden in Queen Victoria Street. This garden is named after Fred Cleary, who, during the 1970s was instrumental in encouraging the planting of trees and the creation of new gardens throughout the square mile. During the Blitz, the house which once stood here was destroyed exposing the cellars. A shoemaker called Joe Brandis decided that he would create a garden from the rubble, collecting mud from the river banks and transporting soil from his own garden in Walthamstow to the site. In the garden is a bed of Yatsuka Tree Peonies sent from Japan as a symbol of goodwill in 2006.

Community Choir achieves its target for WW1 Commemoration with help of North Norfolk

Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society are delighted to announce that, thanks to a generous grant of £10,450 from the North Norfolk District Council Big Society Fund, their World War One Centenary commemoration project is now fully funded.

The Choral Society has commissioned the renowned composer Patrick Hawes to write a new large scale choral work to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War in 2014. The world premiere performance will take place in Norwich Cathedral on Saturday 12 July 2014 as part of the First World War Centenary Partnership, led by IWM (Imperial War Museums). Prior to that Patrick will deliver a workshop at the Auden Theatre on 17 May 2014, open to both children and adults, to talk about the art of composing and share some of the music prior to its first formal performance. The BSF grant will make it possible for the choir to offer more than 100 free places to local school children. Later in the year a local premiere will take place on Saturday 8 November 2014 in St Peter’s Church Sheringham.

This WW1 Centenary Remembrance Concert will be an important and significant

commemoration event for north Norfolk and the Choral Society is hugely appreciative of the acknowledgement and support of North Norfolk District Council.

Patrick Hawes recently visited the 100-strong community choir during a rehearsal to talk about how his composition is progressing.

from Edith’s final letter to “her nurses” and from sacred texts that she knew in depth, as well as first hand accounts of her final days. The premiere performance will be accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra with soprano soloist Elin Manahan Thomas and a children’s choir made up from students attending Gresham’s International Britten Music Course 2014.

Musical Director for the choir and Director of the International Britten Music Course at Gresham’s, Nathan Waring said, "I am enormously grateful to all donor organisations who have contributed thus far to this project, including grants for the arts from Arts Council England and North Norfolk Big Society Fund. Their support and involvement in this project has enabled us to move forwards in the preparation Patrick Hawes’ recent visit to a Society rehearsal of these unique musical events to mark L-R: Nathan Waring (musical director), Patrick Hawes, the centenary of WW1.

The Society enjoyed a most amusing and interesting talk by Robert Smith, the Harbour Master at Wells. He told us several very funny incidents that had happened during his 24 years as Harbour Master and also told us about the history of the port and surrounding area. In fact, the original harbour was up by the church which shows how much the coastline has changed over the years.

Our next talk will be on Thursday, 28 November, 10.15am for 10.30am, when our speaker will be Carol Adkinson who will be enlightening us on the art of bobbin lace-making.

As usual, the talk will be held at St. Joseph's Church Hall, admission is £3 to include tea or coffee and homemade cakes and everybody is very welcome, whether a member of the Society or not.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS TASTER DAY HAILED AS GREAT SUCCESS!

Over 150 budding athletes with learning disabilities and volunteer sports coaches from right across Norfolk descended on the UEA Sportspark recently to find out what Special Olympics has to offer.

As well as taster sessions in cricket, tennis, golf, athletics and boccia, those attending received a free lunch courtesy of Sportspark catering and local supermarkets and went home with a Special Olympics Norfolk T-shirt to remember the day by.

Sanders commented “Athletes came from as far afield as Kings Lynn and Great Yarmouth and everyone enjoyed a fantastic day of activity, trying out sports and talking to coaches about training”.

Organised by Special Olympics Norfolk in conjunction with Active Norfolk, the day was hailed an outstanding success

by Bob Billson, National Development Manager at Special Olympics Great Britain, who attended the one day event at the Sportspark.

“A number of volunteers, including representatives from UEA, Swardeston Cricket Club, Bawburgh Driving Range, Special Olympics Norfolk chairman Richard Norfolk Cricket Board, Easton Family Golf Centre, Sewell Park Centre Boccia Club, Easton College Disability Tennis Preparations for our annual candlelit Advent Carol Service are nearly hub, Bungay Cycle complete. It will be held on Advent Sunday 1 December at 6pm.

School and Norfolk This service has become very popular.

The beautiful setting, lovely carols and familiar readings form an evocative start to the Christmas season.

The St John’s Singers get ready for Advent

Snowsports Club were present to offer the athletes a chance to see the sports in action, try their hand, and provide information where requested.

“The support of Waitrose and their team of volunteers also played a big part in making the day an overwhelming success.

This event will only enhance the profile of Special Olympics in the county, and helps those who provide care to see the scope for sport to play a significant role in personal development, and social inclusion.

“Wherever a mainstream club or leisure facility works with us, there is the opportunity for an athlete who shows promise, to train with others who have ability.

“On behalf of Special Olympics Norfolk I would like to thank all of the volunteers and coaches who donated their time and of course all of the athletes who left at the end of the day with a big smile on their faces,” added Richard.

save more than £50 a year and 23% up to £50 a year. Those households able to save through the scheme achieved an overall average annual saving of £126, with the highest average annual saving of £266 for ‘dual fuel’ customers opting for online billing.

It is hoped that a new Collective Switching Tariff will be available in time for the energy auction and that this will result in a better offer for customers switching supplier in this way.

Anyone who missed out on the first round or who thinks they could make even more savings on their gas or electricity bills, is now able to register for a second round of the Big Switch and Save scheme, and the deadline for signing up has been extended to 18 November.

NNDC Cabinet Member for Environmental Services, John Lee, said “We all know that gas and electricity costs are soaring and energy switching is one way individual

households can reduce those costs. NNDC is delighted to be able to offer a second opportunity for people in North Norfolk to register for the Big Switch and Save. Our experience in the first round of the scheme shows that it really can help people cut their energy costs in these difficult times.”

Residents can register through the Big Switch and Save website

www.bigswitchandsave.co.uk.

All you need is a bill or a statement from your energy supplier which includes the energy you used last year or your estimated usage for the year ahead. Registering is quick and easy and up to five households can be registered from a single email address so you can help family, friends and neighbours to register if they do not have their own internet access. A helpline is available on 0800 0488285.

Youth Hubs are a Hit in North Norfolk The Hubs run twice a month from the following venues:

Since July this year, Youth Workers in north Norfolk have been setting up new Youth Hubs in Sheringham, Cromer, Stalham and Mundesley. Funded by the North Norfolk Youth Advisory Board, the Hubs are designed to give young people more opportunities to get involved in their local communities, take part in positive activities, and to provide a safe, welcoming space where they can socialise and access youth services.

Young people are given the opportunity to design, plan and take the lead in deciding how the Hubs run with the support of professional youth workers. The Cromer The Hubs are exclusively young person led and youth have had a crab fishing competition, are attracting young people from all different a movie night and are now designing art backgrounds, making them an exciting and work for their youth room at Merchant’s Place. dynamic addition to their local communities.

Mundesley and Stalham young people are in the early stages of planning a charity event, and will be raising money for local causes as well The Theatre in the Woods at Gresham’s Senior School in Holt will be as decorating the transformed in November with an ambitious exhibition of sculpture by Hub rooms with their Lee Grandjean. The project Weights and Measures is the first of its kind own designs. In to be held at the school.

Sheringham, young people are given the opportunity to try bush craft skills, carve pumpkins and make smoothies at the newly refurbished Oddfellow’s Hall.

• Cromer – Merchant’s Place, Wednesdays 4-6pm • Mundesley – Scout Hut, Wednesdays 4-6pm • Sheringham – Oddfellow’s Hall, Thursdays 4:30-6:30pm • Stalham – Sports Centre, Thursday 4-6pm

Youth Workers, Hannah Garrard and Will Mills, are helping young people run their Hubs and are a regular presence in local schools and at other youth groups, building interest and enthusiasm for the projects.

Lee Grandjean exhibits at Theatre in the Woods, Holt

Large scale hybrid figures created out of junk and their attendant luggage will emerge out of the wooded landscape to evoke elements of theatre and elicit a dialogue between the sculpted forms and the space.

The exhibition is free for visitors and open between 10am and 4pm daily (except Sunday) from 8th and 29th November 2013.

This is the first event of its kind to take place in this space and will be a unique opportunity to see this work presented in a wonderfully atmospheric way. Lee Grandjean’s drawings will also be on show in the Nicholson Gallery for the duration of the exhibition.

Further details about this artist can be found on his website at www.leegrandjean.co.uk

“Young people are free to use the Hubs how they wish - as a place to drop in and socialise with friends, get advice from professionals, or have more of a say in how their community is run says Hannah Garrard. “It’s been an exciting project to be involved in, and has a real sustainable ethos which will benefit communities and young people’s lives.”

If you or someone you know would like to get involved in one of the Hubs, then you can get in touch via facebook at Facebook/NNHUBS and message Hannah or Will to find out when the next Hub will run, email or call Will Mills, Senior Youth and Community Worker on 07876864281 or williammills@map.uk.net

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Buckaroo, the little kitten featured last time, has now been re-homed.

Several other cats and kittens have also been chosen and we were particularly delighted that Matilda and Hester, two lovely black and white girls, were among them. As Matilda does not like other cats and Hester is quite shy, they had been overlooked, but both have settled in their new homes and are enjoying home comforts once again.

At this time of the year Stephanie gets lots of calls from people who have been feeding a stray cat, sometimes for several months. As winter approaches, they are concerned because the cat is outside and ring to ask if we can take it into care. Although we do try to give priority to strays we, more often than not, do not have space available. Our pens are only empty for a very short time between cats, just long enough for our fosterers to give them a complete clean and change all bedding etc.

We will put the cats on the waiting list and they are taken in when a pen becomes available. Recently, a cat which was on the list, but not at the

WE ARE MOVING...

top of it, was taken to the vets to be neutered and left there for us to collect. Horatio, the cat in question, now in residence in Hester’s pen, is not very old and probably strayed from his home searching for females because he had not been neutered. He will be held for two weeks, just in case there is an owner out there waiting to claim him, before being put up for adoption. As a consequence, however, the cat that was about to be offered a space, and had been on the list for some time, is still out there waiting for another pen to become available.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten please give a call on 01692 535858.

Alternatively you can visit www.cats.org.uk/northwalsham for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

After many years at the Holt Road site, Miramar Vets is moving.

From 4th December 2013 we will be at 15 Weybourne Road, Sheringham, NR26 8HF. (opposite Sheringham Golf Club) THE PHONE NUMBER WILL REMAIN THE SAME – 01263 822293

The surgery will hold 3 Vets consulting rooms, 2 Nurse consulting rooms, separate cat and dog waiting areas and we will be incorporating our pet shop ‘Miramar Pets’ into part of the new surgery.

Also included will be a state of the art operating theatre with a modern prep room including 2 dental tables. Separate cat and dog wards will ensure a restful stay for all in patients and a self-contained isolation unit will keep any contagious diseases away from the main wards. We will have much more space at the new site for offices and a staff room as well as ample parking for our clients.

Council to provide free parking on the two Saturdays before Christmas

Parking in North Norfolk District Council’s (NNDC) car parks will be free on the two Saturdays before Christmas (14 and 21 December, 2pm – 11pm).

The Council has decided to waive parking fees for the afternoons and evenings on 14 and 21 December to help persuade local people to buy their Christmas gifts and supplies locally, to support North Norfolk’s traders at this crucial time of year, and as a gesture of goodwill for the festive season.

On Saturdays 14 and 21 December, from 2pm shoppers will be able to stay all afternoon and evening without a ticket in any District Council–run car park, saving them up to £1- 20 an hour.

Councillor Rhodri Oliver, NNDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Assets, said “One of North Norfolk District Council’s key aims is to support local businesses and with Christmas being critical for traders we want to encourage people to use the wealth of shops on their doorsteps.

I hope that investing in some free car parking in the run up to Christmas will encourage people to shop and to keep their shopping local.”

Festive Cheer at Blickling over three weekends!

52 WOODLAND RISE WEST, SUNWAY PARK, SHERINGHAM NR26 8QL

It’s that time again when the Blickling Estate plays host to some traditional Christmas fayre over the first three weekends of December.

room; the Georgians in the dining room and the Jacobeans in the Long Gallery- all in costume

Come and be welcomed by characters from the past into this wonderful Jacobean house, beautifully decorated for the festive season, and be tempted by an array of exclusive gift ideas, mostly produced by local craftspeople.

Have you ever wondered how past residents of Blickling would have celebrated Christmas? Well this year you’ll be able to get a real taste. Blickling’s costumed interpretation group, the “Diggers” will be re-enacting Christmas through the ages, giving visitors a feel of what it would have been like in Jacobean times, when Henry Hobart restored the medieval and Tudor manor; in Georgian times, when the second Earl of Buckinghamshire redesigned the house; and in Queen Victoria’s reign when Lady Constance made the parterre garden.

The atmosphere of the 1930s will also be depicted, when the house was owned by Lord Lothian. Characters from this era will be in the great hall, greeting and talking with visitors; the Victorians will be in the brown drawing

and talking about Christmas foods, decorations and customs from the four specific eras, giving visitors a life-like experience of the house at Christmas and illustrating how customs varied as time went by.

Designed for all ages, the characters will make visitors feel festive and welcome and, in each of the rooms they occupy, the decorations and floral arrangements will also be appropriately themed.

After wandering through the house you will be drawn in by the welcoming aroma of mulled wine and mince pies in the “Christmas courtyard”, where there will be a marquee

full of Christmas gift ideas as well as festive snacks and drinks.

Christmas trees, wreaths and greenery will also be on sale along with garden gifts, hot chestnuts and other seasonal delights. Father Christmas will be in his grotto each day to take those all important orders and there will be traditional Christmas lunches served in a decorated Lord Lothian’s study or less formally, in Hobart’s cafe on demand. The air will be full of festive cheer, with music and carols to ensure that you leave, touched by the spirit of Christmas.

Over the weekends 30 November-1 December, 7-8 December, the marquee in the “Christmas courtyard” will be brimming with Christmas crafts and gifts – a stunning selection of not-on-the-high-street gift ideas to suit all tastes and pockets. On the final weekend, 14-15 December, the marquee will be adorned with “festive food” – including a fabulous selection of delicious local fayre.

Doors open 11am-5pm and access to the Christmas Courtyard, the shop and restaurant is free to all. Entry to the house and gardens will be free for National Trust members, with usual admission fees for non-members.

North Norfolk District Council seeks volunteers for new community dog warden scheme North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) has launched a community dog warden scheme to crack down on dog fouling across the district and is appealing for volunteers to sign up.

Dog fouling is a huge concern for residents, not just because of the mess, but because it poses health risks that can cause stomach upset, sore throat, asthma and in extreme cases it can cause blindness.

NNDC figures show that historically, the number of complaints it receives about dog fouling increases as the evenings start to draw in. With plans to re-launch its ‘No Messing’ anti dog-fouling campaign, NNDC hopes that both the campaign and the introduction of community dog wardens will assure residents that reducing the presence of dog fouling in public places is a priority.

The role of a community dog warden is to educate irresponsible dog owners that dog

fouling is not acceptable, and together with support from NNDC’s Environmental Protection team, to promote the virtues of responsible dog ownership.

John Lee, NNDC’s Cabinet Member for Environment said “When the clocks go back and the nights start to draw in, this is when we start to see a steady increase in complaints of dog fouling. Dog owners need to understand that they are posing a risk to the safety of others if they do not clear up after their dogs, and using the cover of darkness is just not acceptable. As a community dog warden, you will be a valuable part of your community and will be given the full support of NNDC’s Environmental Protection officers to help educate people on how we can make our local environment and community a cleaner place.”

Volunteers wishing to become a community dog warden will need to be friendly, open and willing to help make a difference. It is a nonconfrontational role, and wardens will not have the power to issue fixed penalty notices.

Volunteers can offer to work whenever they are free to give up their time, although patrols are not expected to last more than three hours at a time.

Each warden can expect to receive full training and will be provided with a high visibility jacket and a pocket notebook.

Mr Lee added ‘Although community dog wardens will not be able to issue fixed penalty notices, they will be providing regular information to NNDC’s enforcement officers.

Irresponsible dog owners should be clear that we will not tolerate dog fouling in North Norfolk and we’ll have no hesitation in fining offenders.’

Volunteers can sign up online at

or can contact the Environmental Protection team for more information on 01263 516085.

The Birth of Coastal Singers

Coastal Singers was born out of the Cley Amateur Dramatic Society, otherwise known as CADS. CADS started up in 1983 and with a double bill Trial by Jury and Wine Women and Song. Since then, it has put on shows in Cley village hall every year to appreciative audiences. In recent years CADS has concentrated on presenting a yearly pantomime in February. In the last few years shows, scripted by Sheila Rudgely, have had engagingly unusual titles like Mother Hubbard and the King’s Pantaloons (2013) and the 2014 show, now in preparation, will be Aladdin and the Gels of St. Trinians.

With titles like that, the shows have had a wacky story line that gives plenty of opportunity for the diverse cast to show their mettle. CADS inclusive policy has always been to let anyone who wants to ‘have a go’, do just that. As a consequence, CADS has attracted a wide range of ages to its cast from pre-teens up to people who would rather not disclose the extent of their seniority!

Since Elisabeth Rooke took over as CADS musical director in 2009, the shows have had a very strong musical element to them with nearly a dozen songs in each pantomime. The repertoire has been so varied and was delivered with such enthusiasm and gusto that Elisabeth was inspired to suggest Chairman John Dunsire welcomed 22 Probus members to the meeting at that CADS should The Dales on 17 October. After lunch he introduced our speaker Rob continue with its Spray whose talk about the Cromer Ridge was illustrated with amazing singing in the ‘closed photographs he had taken while diving off our local North Norfolk season’ after the coastline. pantomime was over.

Members were aware of the Cromer Ridge - a 20 mile long reef Thus was born submerged 25 feet below the water, and Rob told how he, working CADSingers with with Dawn Watson, a biologist, had explored and photographed the a core of CADS biodiversity they discovered. members at its centre.

The summer temperature of the sea off our coast is 10 degrees F higher than that off the coast of Cornwall or the Scilly Isles, and this supports CADSingers, in over one hundred species of seaweed and millions of "shore crabs" conjunction with (not usually eaten), hiding in chalk gulleys together with lobsters and the North Norfolk carnivorous slugs.

Concert Band (run by

Kelling Probus Club

Near to Sheringham it is possible to go diving from the shore, a cheaper and easy way to "get a taste of this sub-water world".

Elisabeth’s husband, Howard) has put on seasonal concerts in churches up and down the north Norfolk coast and sung at weddings and various village events. The success of these has attracted a significant new membership beyond the scope of the CADS cast so that the choir has grown to between thirty and forty performers. It was thus decided that CADSingers was no longer an accurate title for the group. After many suggestions were flagged up, it was decided that Coastal Singers would be an engaging and accurate description of the current group. However, the historical connection to CADS will always be there and with about fifteen members with strong CADS’ connections in Coastal Singers, that link will not be forgotten.

John Roebuck, Chairman of CADS

At the present time, Coastal Singers are rehearsing carols for their Christmas Concert under their musical director, Elisabeth Rooke.

The concert, which also will feature the North Norfolk Concert Band under the direction of Howard Rooke, will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 7th December at St Andrew’s Church, Holt commencing at 3pm.

Festive refreshments will be available, and there will be a retiring collection to be divided between the choir, band and a local charity.

Coastal Singers are keen to welcome new members, especially tenors. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings, usually at the Harbour Rooms in Blakeney. For further details please contact Elisabeth Rooke on 01263 740993.

Rob's team trains divers and he hopes that more people will appreciate this local wonderland, which includes some species previously not known to exist in UK.

ALDIS MOTORS LTD

The Chairman gave details of the Christmas lunch to be held at Sheringham Golf Club on 19 December and Ken Murray (01263 821060) said there were still a few places on the coach to The Imperial War Museum at Duxford on 13 November.

Council set to support improvements for Sheringham fisherman

North Norfolk District Council’s (NNDC) Cabinet was set to approve a report at its meeting at the beginning of this month proposing that the council grant the equivalent of £50,000 to Sheringham Fisherman’s Association (SFA) as match funding for a project to refurbish the west gangway and associated facilities in the town.

protect and boost jobs and to build the economy.

NNDC is set to provide £40,000 funding plus a further £10,000 in kind (officer time and other commercial costs), a total of 40% of the likely total cost of £125,000, which will enable the SFA to apply for the balance of the funding from the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), under the North Norfolk Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) scheme.

Rhodri Oliver, NNDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Assets, said “The council has put a great deal of time, effort and money into supporting the communities and the people who live and work on our wonderful coast.

This is an excellent scheme that will help to ensure that fishing remains at the heart of the all that is good about Sheringham. It builds on the work we have previously done to assist the fishing communities of Wells and Cromer, to

Russell Wright, NNDC Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Tourism, said “North Norfolk’s fishing industry is important not just for the fishermen and their families; fishing is part of our whole culture and fishing is one of the key features of our tourist industry upon which so many more people depend for their livelihoods; we ignore it at our peril. I am delighted to support this important project.”

together the project to repair and improve the current gangway, which is deteriorating owing to penetration from underground springs, and the associated facilities required for launch and retrieve and boats. The project will cost a total of around £125,000.

The SFA currently has 15 fee paying members whose boats work from the west gangway and who pay for the upkeep and maintenance of the associated gear, such as winches and cables. They have put

Council officer graduates with merit Andrew McCloud, Assistant Coastal Engineer with North Norfolk District Council, was awarded a Foundation Degree in Civil Engineering (with merit) from University Campus Suffolk at a graduation ceremony at the end of October.

Andrew joined NNDC as Assistant Coastal Engineer in February 2013 after working as a Technician Engineer at Waveney District Council from leaving school. Both councils have supported him in his studies and now, with further NNDC support and encouragement, his aim, following two more year’s part time study, is to achieve an honours degree.

Andrew said “It’s been hard work getting this far, but I really enjoy my job and I relish the opportunity to study engineering further.

Working as a coastal engineer, trying to balance what’s physically possible alongside what’s allowable in such an ever-changing and environmentally sensitive environment is a huge challenge, and that is what makes my role so interesting. I am really thankful to both Waveney and North Norfolk District Councils for all the support they’ve given to help me get this far.

As well as achieving his Foundation Degree, Andrew has been nominated by his course leader for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) ‘Best Student’ regional and national awards. Each university is allowed to submit one nomination each year, and the results should be available at the end of November. And Andrew is also continuing to work with two of his tutors on one of his last year’s assignments with a view to submitting it for publication in the ICE Proceedings Maritime Engineering Journal.

NNDC Cabinet Member for the Coast, Angie Fitch-Tillett, said “We were delighted to welcome Andrew into our Coastal Team earlier this year.

He has already made his mark by initiating some successful projects and gave an excellent presentation at our Summer Coastal Forum.

I am extremely proud of his success in gaining his degree and delighted that he is in the mix for outstanding student of the year.”

NNDC Chief Executive, Sheila Oxtoby, said “This council has a very high reputation nationally for the quality of its coastal management and expertise, and we are keen to ensure that remains the case. Having knowledgeable, well-qualified and committed staff is obviously important in that, and we are delighted that our support for Andrew as well as his hard work has been so well rewarded. He deserves every credit for the effort he has put in and which, I am sure, he will continue to put into his studies and his work in our excellent coastal team on behalf of North Norfolk coastal communities.”

Dear Margaret,

Although totally agreeing with Richard May (Sheringham Independent 2 November) I would like to ask how much would they have saved and how much safer would the pedestrians have been if Station Road and High Street had been pedestrianized. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not impossible, and the precedent as already been set, these roads are closed at least 5 days a year for the Potty Morris Festival, Carnival and Christmas lights. The Council could start by closing them just for Saturdays and then expand on this as time goes on. Retractable or removable bollards would have been a lot cheaper to install than these none crossing crossings that do not comply with any road traffic act.

Mozart and Bach for Cromer Christmas Concert

The popular Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society return to Cromer Parish Church on Saturday 14 December at 7.30pm for their Christmas concert.

Directed by Nathan Waring the 100 strong choir will be joined by the SCCS Chamber Orchestra for what promises to be an exciting performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Requiem.

The soloists will be: Jane May-Sysum, Soprano; Freya Jacklin, Alto; Paul Smy, Tenor and Andrew Weeks, Bass.

Mozart left his stunning Requiem unfinished when he died in 1791. It was completed by Franz Xaver Sussmayer and remains a significant piece in the choral music repertoire.

Tony Chadwick Sheringham

Dear Margaret,

I totally agree with Richard May (The Sheringham Independent issue 379) - Sheringham town centre has not got laws of its own, the Highway Code does not say that any Tom Dick or Harry can just do what they think and that goes for Norfolk County Council and its band of councillors.

They could have spent that money on many things that need doing, like keeping the hedge trimmed where they said they was going to do it (Sheringham Tescoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Centre Access) ref drawing no PR3366-MP-017C which was sent to me dated 17 November 2011 from Mike Auger his reference HI/MP/ PR3366/MA. On this plan it shows, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;existing hedge to be cut back with future maintenance to be undertaken by Norfolk County Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage and landscape teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (never done) the whole of that area has been left in a total mess with stones laying about so the grass that was there is in a mess and areas of grass left unseeded. Lids to drains have been left below surface so will be extra work by hand, costing more of our money.

The concert will also include Johan Sebastian Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charming advent Cantata Sleepers, Wake! as well as Christmas carols and an opportunity for audience participation!

Seasonal refreshments will be available in the interval.

Tickets ÂŁ12 (ÂŁ15 on the door) are available from Sheringham Little Theatre Box Office 01263 822347 or from K Hardware, Cromer.

For further information visit www.sheringhamandcromerchoral.co.uk

This looks like someone is giving out contracts for unnecessary work and if someone gets knocked down it will not be the driver who is to blame nor the person knocked down but the person responsible for allowing this to be done in Norfolk County Council.

North Norfolk Photographic Society

North Norfolk Photographic Society held their first competition for projected digital images on 23rd October. The judge was Roger Preston ARPS. Roger is a committee member of Bungay Camera Club and is a fully accredited East Anglia Federation judge.

The competition was for prints in two classes: firstly a specified subject ’Street Markets’ and secondly an open contest. Standards were very high - full marks (ten out of ten) were awarded to three pictures in the first group and to four in the second.

Alan Dedman won the first contest with his photograph of a small barber’s shop - so small that the chair for customers waiting their turn was outside on the pavement. This was called ‘Only One Waiting’.

David Millard won the open group competition
