A decade later the service has expanded along the East Anglia coast to 16 beaches, including at West Runton (new for this year), East Runton and Wells in North Norfolk, as well as beaches in the Great Yarmouth area and Suffolk.

Four veteran RNLI lifeguards have been ever present since that first day 10 years ago - Vincent Pank, Sam Kendrick, Scott Davidson and Chris Wall.

RNLI Lifeguard 10th anniversary in North Norfolk

Continued from front cover... Vincent, who has risen through the ranks tobecome Lifeguard Manager, said ‘We were breaking new ground when we took on the lifeguard service for North Norfolk District Council in 2007, as it was the first time RNLI lifeguards had patrolled anywhere on the east coast of the UK.

‘It’s been an incredible 10 years since then, saving lives and keeping people safe. We have gone from having 15 lifeguards patrolling a handful of beaches to employing around 65 people at 16 locations along the length of the Norfolk coast and into Suffolk.

‘So much has happened throughout the past decade, but most rewarding for me is seeing how our presence and reputation has grown within the communities we work in. I think we were seen as a novelty at the start, but we’ve earned the trust and respect of people who now seek out our advice, whether that is the public, lifeboat crews, emergency services or landowners.’

Leader of North Norfolk District Council Cllr Tom FitzPatrick said ‘We’re proud of what has been achieved in partnership with the RNLI over the past 10 years.

‘Ensuring the safety of our beaches is paramount and having lifeguards on duty when North Norfolk is at its busiest means

visitors and residents can have peace of mind while enjoying our beautiful coastline.

‘The lifeguards are a skilled team and our admiration and thanks go to all of them for their dedication and bravery over the past decade.’

Cllr Becky Palmer Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture said ‘Our beaches, four of which have Blue Flag status, are enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people each year. The hard work of the RNLI lifeguards has kept these people safe.’

The wages for RNLI lifeguards along the North Norfolk coast at Cromer, Sea Palling, Sheringham, Mundesley are funded by NNDC, with training, equipment, lifeguard stations, vehicles, support services and management all provided by the RNLI.

RNLI lifeguards resumed patrols of five beaches in Norfolk on Saturday 7 May (Sheringham West, Cromer East, Mundesley, Sea Palling and Gorleston) and two in Suffolk on 21 May (Lowestoft South and Southwold North). A further nine beaches will be patrolled from Saturday 2 July. These are Wells, Sheringham East, West Runton, East Runton, Cromer West, Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft North and Southwold South.

Anyone interested in getting a job as an RNLI beach lifeguard can contact Vincent at Vincent_pank@rnli.org.uk or give him a call on 07917 581567.

* The RNLI changed the way it recorded Within the NNDC purvey there are three lifeguard statistics in 2010. Statistics are not permanent lifeguard units at Wells, Sea Palling available for previous years. and Sheringham West. Temporary units have been installed at Sheringham East, It is with great sadness that West Runton, East Sheringham Medical Practice Runton, Cromer announces the retirement of Dr Peter West, Cromer East Sampson, Senior Partner, as of 31 and Mundesley. August 2016. They will be taken down in September.

Dr Sampson Retirement

Along with the Doctors and staff, patients will be very sad to see Dr Sampson retire. At the practice we all wish Dr Sampson the very best in his retirement and are sure that this view is shared by the very many patients who have had contact with him over the years.

If you are a patient of Dr Sampson, you will not need to take any action as all patients are registered with the Practice and you can see the clinician of your choice. We will continue to provide all patients with the highest quality of care.

P Peace eace o off Mind Mind

Do you have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Will is a legal document which sets out your last wishes by allowing you to choose who receives your belongings and assets after you die. It is essential for you to make a Will whether or not you consider you have any possessions, or much money. If you do not have a Will when you die, then the Government decides under the Intestacy Rules how your money, property, or possessions are divided. If you are living with a partner and not married, then if you die without a Will your partner cannot inherit any part of your Estate.

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint a friend or family member who you trust to make decisions in respect of your finances, property, or health if you are unable to, for example, if you are in an accident, lose mental capacity, etc. If you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney and lose mental capacity, for whatever reason, then it may put your family in a difficult financial position by not being able to access your finances or able to deal with your property.

At Silver and Ward, we offffer a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT and do offffer home visits.

If you do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney, then please do telephone the offffice on 01263 01263 8 823465 2 3 46 5 , o r email: clare@silverandward.co.uk to make a free first appointment with no obligation.

CHARITY CONCERT PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED

The full programme has been announced for the charity concert hosted by Cromer and Sheringham Rotary Club on Monday, 30 May. The concert will take place in Cromer Parish church at 7.30pm.

Talented soprano, Rebecca Hunt, backed up by pianist Hannah Watson, will take the first half of the concert, performing a variety of popular and classical songs. These include four Britten folk songs - The Last Rose of Summer, The Ash Grove, Down by the Sally Gardens and O Waly Waly. These will be balanced by the classical songs O Mio Babbino by Puccini, Mein Herr Marquis from Strauss and Lehar’s Vilja. Again ringing the changes, will be the traditional folk songs Danny Boy, She Moved Through The Fair, A Spring Of Thyme and I will Walk with my Love. To finish will be Gershwin’s Summertime, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and I Could’ve Danced All Night.

Heather Watson

Taking ‘centre stage’ after the interval will be Claire Lawrence and her band. She will concentrate mainly on jazz standards and ‘classy pop classics’.

Most of Claire’s 12 pieces will be sung accompanied by her band and include three from Ella Fitzgerald - How High the Moon, Bewitched and Don’t Mean a Thing. Other catchy tunes that will have the audience swaying are Let’s Fall in Love, I’m Not the Only One, Moaning, I Believe in a Thing Called Love, Blank Space and Love Yourself.

Bespoke Weddings

Piano and vocal pieces alone include Imagine, Wings and the ever-popular Rebecca Hunt Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The combination of 20s era and current hits should provide a feel-good and exciting second half.

Claire Lawrence

Tickets at £7.50 are now available from outlets including the Tourist Office in Cromer, Randalls Electrical and K Hardware both on Church Street in Cromer and on the door on the night.

Rachel was hugely entertaining and told us all about Marie’s life growing up in the East End of London and her career in the music halls and also told us about Marie’s turbulent personal life. It was a very enlightening talk with songs and there was much laughter.

There was also a competition for the Best Dressed Music Hall Hat and there were some fabulous creations with feathers and flowers and ribbons aplenty. A great night was had by all.

‘Call for Sites’ reminder

North Norfolk District Council is preparing a new Local Plan. The Plan will include new planning policies (used in the determination of planning applications) and will allocate areas of land to address the development needs of the District for the period 2016-2036.

The ‘Call for Sites’ provides an opportunity for developers, landowners, Parish & Town Councils, individuals and other interested parties to register land within North Norfolk to be considered as a potential allocated site.

The sites submitted could be for housing (sites capable of accommodating 5+ dwellings), employment, community facilities, open space, renewable energy, car parking or other uses.

The Call for Sites process is not restrictive in relation to where sites are suggested, but it is unlikely that sites proposed in very rural areas will be suitable locations in which to build new homes, or provide new employment. However, the information provided is essential in assessing the available land and to aid us in considering where development should be distributed under the Plan.

Each registered site will be assessed by the Council to establish the potential impact of the proposed development. Once the assessment process is complete, the Council will consider the options and undertake further consultation.

The Call for Sites registration form and guidance notes are available on the council’s website at www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/callforsites and all forms should be returned on or before 31 May 2016.

The store raised a total of £5,376.15 during 2015/16 for our Charity Partners, Diabetes UK and The British Heart Foundation. We have also supported the Race for Life for Cancer Research, either by fundraising and taking part in the events. Thank you to all colleagues and customers who supported our efforts and gave so generously. Let’s see if we can raise make it even more this year!

I also arrange Farm to Fork Trails for children between the age of 3 to 11 years where they can learn about healthy eating and where food comes from. Playgroups, nurseries, schools are welcome to contact me regarding a visit.

Bags of Help (5p bag charge) Local community groups can now apply for funding. Three projects will be shortlisted by the environmental charity Groundwork and Tesco colleagues. Each will receive a grant of either £8,000, £10,000 or £12,000, voted for by Tesco customers in October. Apply online at: tesco.com/bags of help.

Where are the carers?

We read of people not receiving adequate care in the community, leaving the onus on personal carers who, like I have experienced, find themselves under pressure, trying to cope - day to day - without support.

Here is the good news - Excel 2000 offers 10 free sessions helping carers to relax and deal with difficulties of their situation.

Now is the time to grasp this opportunity. Ring 07769 588541

Songs of Love and Summer

Songs of Love and Summer will be performed at St Peters Parish Church, Sheringham on Saturday 18 June at 7.30pm. The Jay Singers celebrate the 400th year of Shakespeare’s death, with Songs of Love & Summer, from Elizabethan madrigals to modern American classics. Entry is £10 on the door, £8 online via Eventbrite (www.jaysingers.com)

Four hundred years after the Bard’s death in 1616, Norfolk’s Jay Singers celebrate Shakespeare with a delicious programme of song at Sheringham’s St Peter’s Parish Church. The Jays Music Director Neil MacKenzie is a founder member of The Sixteen, and was for 35 years a BBC Singer. The Jays’ midsummer’s concert will, he says, ‘feature a happy blend of music old and new with a decidedly upbeat feel’.

‘There are three strands which I wanted to highlight. The first, of course, is William Shakespeare , with the marvellous Three Shakespeare Songs by Vaughan Williams as well as Joseph Horovitz’s take on As You Like It. Secondly, in a year spent examining the nature of European identity, we will sing several examples of a great collaborative form – the madrigal. Both English and French composers feature here, from Wilbye’s luxurious Draw on sweet night to Janequin’s virtuosic Le chant des oiseaux. Finally, in an anniversary for the Jay Singers, which has enjoyed its own development over more than 20 years now, we're including some American repertoire, coincidentally in a presidential election year, culminating in the timelessly fantastic music of Gershwin and Kern.’

The Jays are particularly pleased also to welcome as accompanist, and soloist for a couple of items of his own, the acclaimed Norwich-based jazz and classical pianist Neil Ricketts.

Alice Arnold calls Mayday for the RNLI, inspired by iconic shipping forecast Former presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast, Alice Arnold, revisits Cromarty, Hebrides, Dogger and Humber, as she reads the ‘Mayday Forecast’ to encourage the public to support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The ‘Mayday Forecast’ follows the well-known rhythm and regions of this established British bulletin, but instead of predicting weather conditions, it predicts the number of distress calls the RNLI will respond to this year. Maritime distress calls can come in 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with 4,700 volunteer crew members across the UK and Ireland on standby to drop everything in an instant to save lives at sea.

It was neatly timed to coincide with last bank holiday weekend’s RNLI Mayday campaign, the charity’s own call for help to raise the money needed to keep the RNLI and its 237 lifeboat stations operating. Based on 2015 figures, the Mayday Forecast predicts approximately 8,200 people will be rescued and hundreds of lives will be saved by the RNLI’s volunteer crews around the coasts of the UK and Ireland in 2016. If 2015 is anything to go by, lifeboat crews will spend more than 229,000 hours at sea.

violent storm conditions, 3 rescues in force 10 storms. 682 people rescued. 32 lives saved’ • ‘Republic of Ireland including Fastnet, Shannon. 829 call outs. Range of conditions, often rough. 1 launch in force 11 storm conditions. 965 people rescued and 24 lives saved’ • ‘Hunstanton to Dungeness including Dover. Often very rough seas. 1730 launches. 1269 people rescued. 61 lives saved’

The RNLI is close to Alice Arnold’s heart. She said ‘The dedication of volunteer lifeboat crews around our coastlines is awe inspiring. When the pager goes off, they drop everything to go and save lives, often in treacherous conditions. I have really enjoyed reading the Mayday Forecast, highlighting the sheer number of rescues anticipated in 2016. It has been fun to do, and vitally important. I’d encourage everyone to support the

Forecast predictions demonstrate the scale of the RNLI’s rescue operations. The lifesaving charity relies on the generosity of the public and the forecast urges listeners to support this year’s Mayday campaign.

Paul Russell, crew member at Cromer lifeboat station, said ‘The Mayday Forecast highlights the huge number of people that RNLI volunteer crews rescue every year. We’re ready to drop everything when the pager beeps to save lives at sea.’ The Mayday campaign asks people to support the RNLI’s volunteer crews to keep them saving lives. Visit www.rnli.org/Mayday to donate and find out more information about how you can support Mayday.

Mayday fundraising events are taking place right across the UK and Ireland, many with a yellow welly theme. The public can also show their support on social media by using the hashtag #MaydayEveryday.

At our last meeting, we were delighted to welcome John Cushing who told us a great deal about the history of the Thursford Collection, which was founded by his Father, George Cushing, who was born in 1904. He left school at the age of 12 to be a farm labourer with a fascination for steamrollers. He got a job with a steamroller company and bought his first one in 1913, set up his own business and had 15 steamrollers by World War 2. When diesel became popular, steamrollers were redundant. In the 1970s, he opened his museum housed in a series of old farm sheds and the Thursford Collection became a trust, now attracting over 170,000 people a year.

Many of us have been lucky enough to visit Thursford at Christmas, and people come from all over the country, and abroad, to see the wonderful show - the best in Europe We are so lucky that we can visit at other times during the year and there is now a beautiful marquee in the grounds where weddings can take place

North Walsham’s chippy has again been judged one of the top four

The THREE COTTAGES FISH RESTAURANT has received the amazing news that in this year’s competition to find the best 50 Fish and Chip Shops in the United Kingdom they were once again one of only four shops to receive a mark of 100% from the independent judges. We were immensely proud of all our staff when they achieved this distinction in 2015 but to repeat the result in the 2016 competition is almost unbelievable.

The annual competition, which is run by Fry Magazine, entails an unannounced secret visit by an independent judge who marks each shop on the quality of their food and the service received. Over 50 different aspects of the food and customer service are marked to help, compare shops throughout the UK.

Owners, Sam Homfray and Paula and David Audley told us “It is impossible to explain how gratifying it is to receive this fantastic result for a second year. The immense efforts put in by all our staff to ensure the highest standards of food and service are enjoyed by all our customers has earnt them all this fantastic recognition.”

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS

In North Norfolk we are fortunate to have some of the finest displays of rhododendrons and azaleas in the country.

During May and early June it is worth visiting local gardens and estates such as Sheringham Park and Stody Lodge to see these most beautiful of shrubs.

Stody Lodge, near Edgefield, has what is believed to be the largest single planting of vividly-coloured azalea mollis in England. As many of the large varieties take from 10 to 40 years to reach maturity, we must be grateful to the people who caught the ‘rhododendron bug’ many years ago and planted for our enjoyment today.

You can look to the rhododendron genus (which includes all the azaleas) for special interest in tree form, bark colour and texture, leaf colour, flowers in all shapes and colours and last, and not least scent.

None of us can compete with these grand estates and provide such magnificent woodland settings but it is possible to grow rhododendrons at

SOME THINGS WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER«

home. The ideal conditions are an acid soil which is preferably light and if peaty so much the better. Full use should be made of fallen deciduous leaves to improve the soil by massing them round the rhododendrons as a thick mulch. This has the effect of keeping the plant’s roots shallow roots cool and moist right through the summer. If your soil is too chalky, it is possible to grow compact varieties in containers.

The Royal Horticultural Society offers the following advice to amateur gardeners for successful cultivation of rhododendrons and azaleas

• choose a site with dappled shade in sheltered conditions. Avoid deep shade beneath other trees and shelter from cold, dry winds. Dwarf alpine species will tolerate full sun providing the soil does not dry out. Avoid frost pockets and sites exposed to the morning sun.

• before planting, dig in plenty of neutral or acidic organic matter: composted tree bark, leaf mould, decomposing pine or spruce needles, or composted chopped bracken. Do not plant too deeply – all rhododendrons are surface-rooting and the roots should be just covered.

• rhododendrons are more difficult to grow in areas of low rainfall. Tap water often contains too much calcium and it is preferable to use rain water. In spring apply an ericaceous fertiliser.

• if planting in containers use John Innes or a similar ericaceous loam based compost. The RHS recommends re-potting every other year into fresh compost.

• rhododendrons do not require much pruning other than the removal of dead wood and deadheading of sent flowers if practical.

• problems can include leaf drop in cold weather, vine weevil in container grown plants and nutrient deficiencies which cause the leaves to yellow. It is not really possible to recommend varieties that will suit all conditions but there are many available in local nurseries and garden centres.

Finally a warning, rhododendrons and azaleas can be toxic and although serious poisoning is unlikely when only small amounts of the plants are swallowed, parents and animal owners should be careful. One of the earliest accounts of mass poisoning dates back to the first century when Roman troops were allegedly poisoned by their Turkish enemies with honey made from the nectar of Rhododendron luteum!

Outgoing and mischievous Wiggins was named in honour of Sir Bradley Wiggins, having arrived at Redwings shortly after the athlete cycled to victory at the London Olympics in 2012. Poor Wiggins was taken in by the charity, which cares for 1,500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules at centres across the UK, after being discovered abandoned.

At the same time, the owner of a donkey called Wacko contacted Redwings asking for urgent help in finding him a new home after the livery yard he had been living at closed down. The two lonely donkeys were brought together by Redwings and struck gold by finding friendship in each other.

The inseparable duo proved such a hit with visitors that they quickly joined the charity’s Adoption Club, which allows supporters to sponsor an Adoption Star resident for just £12.50 a year, with every penny going directly towards their daily care and that of their friends.

Supporters can visit their Adoption Star for free during any open day at the centre where they live and receive updates on their fourlegged friend’s progress. They are even invited to celebrate their new friend’s birthday with a party where supporters can join in the fun and festivities, while their Adoption Star tucks into a specially made cake, just for them!

Wiggins and Wacko, who can be adopted

jointly, will be celebrating their 12th birthday with a party at Redwings Aylsham, north of Norwich, on Sunday 12 June at 11am.

Gemma Walpole, Redwings’ Head of Fundraising, said “Having been lonely for so long, Wiggins and Wacko have flourished into lovable and mischievous donkeys since finding friendship in each other. We hope as many

at 11am. Join in the celebrations at Redwings Aylsham, Spa Lane, Aylsham, Norfolk NR11 6UE. For more information about the Adoption Club or to sponsor a Redwings Adoption Star, visit www.redwings.org.uk/adopting

people as possible will be able to come along and cheer them on, just like Wiggins’ namesake!”

And if partying with such a fun pair wasn’t enough, Redwings Aylsham’s other resident Adoption Stars will also be celebrating their birthdays this summer, including: • Cheeky Miniature Shetland ponies The Gangsters on Sunday 24 July • Handsome thoroughbred cross horse Gulliver on Sunday 28 August

Redwings Aylsham also provides a safe and happy home to 50 rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules who would love a cuddle too!

Wiggins and Wacko’s birthday party will take place on Sunday 12 June

Parallel Dance Studios Street Dance Success

Parallel Dance Studios, run by Lucy Cook, offers dance tuition from age 2 years up to adults – ballet, tap, contemporary and street dance. Classes are held in Holt, Reepham and surrounding areas. On 1 May dancers took part in the East Anglian Street Dance Championships and came away with medals for duos and solos.

Reepham and Holt Junior crews were placed 4th and 5th and Reepham adult crew came third.

The Holt Seniors, most of whom attend Sheringham High School and range in age from 11 years to 16 years, were placed 2nd, which means they qualify for the UK Street Dance Championships held in November in London.

Lucy and all the parents are very proud of all dancers for their hard work in rehearsals and for their dedication to the sport.

President: The Marchioness Townshend

Choir leader says “farewell” with Brahms’ Requiem

On Saturday 4 June at 7.30pm North Norfolk Chorale will present a summer concert at Salle Church.

The main work will be Brahm’s German Requiem, sung in English and using music sets supplied by the Norfolk Library Service. This concert will be the Choir’s last performance under its long-serving Musical Director, Rosemary Kimmins, who steps down after leading the Chorale for 14 years. The Chorale will announce its new Musical Director in due course.

Reflecting on her time with North Norfolk Chorale, Mrs Kimmins said “it has been a pleasure to work with one of North Norfolk’s longestestablished choirs, and to help nurture the members’ musical talents. Over the years, we have broadened our repertoire to include not just the traditional great choral works but also some lighter-hearted items such as show tunes and revue pieces. Our performances have been wonderfully enhanced by the talented guest soloists who have worked with us”.

Tickets for the concert can be obtained in advance at a discount price of £12.50 each, either online or by post. Details can be found at the Chorale’s website at north-nofolk-chorale.co.uk. Tickets can also be purchased on the night at the full price of £15.

Crispin Clark, Chairman of North Norfolk Chorale, said “the Chorale owes a tremendous debt to Rosemary Kimmins, who will be a hard act to follow. When she joined us the choir was at rather a low ebb, but she was undaunted and Rosemary’s sheer hard work and dedication has been key to the Chorale’s revitalisation today. We hope as many as people as possible will be able to join us at Salle on 4th June to hear some wonderful music and to give Rosemary a send-off to be proud of”.

Recently Asked Questions and Answers

from the Clapham & Collinge Business Support team By Philip Lumb, Consultant Solicitor in the Business Support Team

Q1 Would I be able to obtain a loan against my house to invest in a Business? It is possible to borrow money against your house by either a secured loan or a further advance against your mortgage and subject to your own financial circumstances. There are likely to be conditions with any such lending, and particularly where you have an existing mortgage you should check terms that may already be in place as to any further lending. The best person to advise you in the first instance will be your mortgage broker, bank or independent financial adviser. Bear in mind that borrowing against your home will always carry the risk of re-possession if you unable to make the repayments. Financial advisers will be able to discuss different options with you, as well as the potential for obtaining any other types of loan which may not need to be secured against your home. You should also remember that if you jointly own the property with another person, you will need their consent to use the property as security for the business. They will also likely need to obtain their own independent legal advice as a part of the lending process.

to consider whether you are covered in respect of any risks to visitors to your property and therefore consider whether you are adequately covered for public liability insurance. Similarly, if you use your vehicle for business purposes you will need to upgrade your level of insurance to include this, particularly if you will be travelling to different places for your work. Bear in mind that if you have valuable equipment at your home as a result of using it as a workplace, this may fall outside the scope of your home and contents insurance. You should speak to an insurance broker as to the appropriate levels of cover.

Q3 We are an online business but our HQ & servers are based in an area that is susceptible to flooding. Do we have to declare this to new and existing clients? It sometimes happens but hasn't for years. You must be careful not to misrepresent the reliability of the service you are offering. You should assess whether the risk of flooding is reasonably foreseeable and be honest with any existing, new or prospective clients as to any difficulties you may have experienced previously. It may be worth considering (if possible) whether the risk is great enough that moving your HQ and servers would impact less on your business in this respect. In any event, you should look to implement a flood plan and what will happen if your business is affected by flooding. You should also consider updating your terms and conditions of business to include provision for what will happen if an event occurs which is outside of your control and stops your business from providing the goods or services under the contract. These clauses are commonly known as "force majeure" clauses.

Q2 I am planning on working from home in 2016. Do I need any kind of insurance of other official certification? This may depend upon the nature of the work that you do and if you require any minimum levels of insurance to be in place. Your mortgage lender and home insurance company may also be required to give their approval and again this will depend upon the type of work you undertake. You will also need

Q4 How often should you update your original business plan? Would a Solicitor charge just to look it over? You should update your business plan regularly and in accordance with your business needs; for some businesses this may be as frequent as at least once a month to review planned estimates for the month against actual figures and performance. It is also advisable to do this whenever circumstances change which may alter the direction your business takes, for example, winning or losing a contract tender. As a minimum, you should look to conduct a thorough overhaul once year. A solicitor will be able to provide advice to you about the legal decisions which may impact on the growth of your business, for example, renewing a lease of premises, any employment law difficulties, or the best way to contract with third parties to minimise the risk against any claims. Solicitors should set out any costs they may charge for considering your business plan at the outset, and may be able to agree a cap or fixed fee for doing so, although it may be best to speak to your independent financial adviser or accountant in the first instance regarding your business plan. At Clapham & Collinge Solicitors we have a dedicated team of expert solicitors who can provide you with all of the necessary information, support and legal advice, in relation to employment law, commercial and business services. For more information, or if you require advice on any other legal matter, please contact Clapham & Collinge Solicitors on 01263 823398, email info@clapham-collinge.co.uk visit www.clapham-collinge.co.uk.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

We are pleased to be able to report that Harvey is now back to his normal self, jumping up the front of his pen to get the attention, and a few cuddles, from his carers. His coat is also starting to grow quite nicely and we can see what a handsome boy he will be.

He is, however, not the only cat in care at present that has needed to be shaved. Flo, a pretty little tabby girl, just two years old this month, was abandoned by her heartless owner when she moved. She had not been given the kind of care and attention that a long haired cat requires and had a lot of knots close to her skin (which must have been very painful for her). A quick visit to the vets, where her tummy and chest were shaved, has resulted in a much happier little cat. Flo is a very gentle and loving little girl and deserved better treatment than this. However, she is now safe in our care and we will find her a home where she will get the love and attention she deserves.

Garfie, one of the cats that came in with the pregnant mum, has now had a further blood test which confirms he is FIV positive, as a consequence of which, he will need an indoor home. At the time of writing, we are waiting to hear whether or not a lady who already has an FIV positive cat will give him a new home. As he is such a lovely, friendly and cuddly boy, we are hopeful of a happy outcome.

At present, we have two little kittens in care, which arrived from an outdoor situation at about one week old (we do have a waiting list for kittens, so these and other ones in care, will probably be reserved as soon as we are sure they will survive). Obviously, hand rearing kittens is not the ideal situation; they do thrive better if with their mother until at least 8 weeks old. However, we always try to give these kittens a good start by feeding them with special kitten milk and, once they start to eat, special kitten biscuits and kitten pouches.

Although the kitten milk and weaning biscuits are expensive and not available in pet shops, they do make a real difference. With no mother to teach them, their carers also have to ensure they interact with them and encourage them to learn hunting and playing skills. With years of experience, their carers know that these kittens will require more of their time to ensure they develop into well-adjusted cats.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring Jessie, lovely little cat, a lovely 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible gentle girl, very laid back and for a voucher). This number is for quite lazy too! vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ 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.

Sheringham Players Up Pompeii

"Ooooohhhh, titter ye not!", or so says the poor enslaved Lurcio (Tim Travers), as he tries in vain to deliver his prologue, amid the various myriad of sexual liaisons in all quarters of his master’s house in the Sheringham Players summer production of "Up Pompeii", which runs from Wednesday 15 June to Saturday 18 June with a Saturday matinee performance, at Sheringham Little Theatre, and for which tickets are now available from the theatre box office.

Why does Ludicrus the master (Graham Blyth) not leave for the Senate meeting in Rome? Why does his wife Ammonia (Helen Simmonds) return so quickly from the country? And will their son Nausius’s (Tom Denny) love poetry improve, and will their daughter Erotica (Amy knight) be the first to invent text messaging? Who will take care of the escaped slave girl Voluptua (Laura Williamson), and will Suspenda (Laura Wakefield), the well-known nymphomaniac and beauty, have her wicked way? Will Lurcio be able to hold off Captain Treacherous (Frank Bruce) and his gormless sidekick Kretinus (John Meikle)? And what is that rumbling in the distance –

what could that possibly be? Are Senna the Soothsayer's (Suzanne Challinor) predictions about to come true?

You will find the answers to all these questions while the growing chaos ensues, and Lurcio struggles to keep it all together with the help of footman Corneous (Dominic Pinkham).

The play, directed by Hazel Randall, features some familiar Sheringham Players, and a few new faces, and promises to be a riot from start to finish with classic innuendoes, saucy costumes, double entendres, mix - ups, misunderstandings and mayhem.

Jamboree Style St George's Celebrations This year the first Salhouse Scout Group were the hosts of the District St George’s Day Celebration. Lorraine Henriksen reports ‘Despite a dull start to the day weather-wise, the sun shone for our parade of 550 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and their Leaders from across the North East Norfolk Scouts District (Scouts from Blakeney, Holt, Sheringham, Cromer, Aylsham, North Walsham, Mundesley, Stalham, Hoveton & Wroxham, Hainford & Frettenham and, of course, Salhouse who hosted this year’s St George’s Day Celebration) as they marched from the playing field in Thieves Lane, Salhouse to the Gorse Meadow field at Salhouse Broad (1.2 miles in all) - the exact location of the 1930 Jamboree which was attended by our Founder, Lord Baden Powell (B-P) and Prince George. We were thrilled therefore that B-P’s grandson, Robin Baden Clay and his wife, Sue, were able to join us this year (all the way from their home in Dorset) for the whole day. Mr Clay was clearly moved to be able to join in our celebrations and was able to read extracts from his grandfather’s diaries. Mr Clay said “I do feel it is very important that, by attending such rallies, the young people see that they are a part of something SO much bigger than just their own pack or troop, and that they are part of “The Greatest Movement for Peace that the World has ever known.”

The impressive parade was led by ‘St George on Horseback’ and accompanied by the Band of the T.S. Norfolk Sea Cadets from Gorleston, under the careful watch of their Officer in Charge, AS/Lt (SCC) S. Carver RNR and consisted of 550 young people, 135 leaders with 250 parents and family members following. Forty six flags from each section of every group across the district were paraded, led by the Queen’s Colour, the St George Flag and the North East Norfolk District Scout Colour and formed a Guard of Honour as they entered the field through an impressive castellated gateway, which had been built especially for the event by 1st Salhouse members. Mr Baden Clay reviewed the parade and took the salute with District Commissioner, Paul Henriksen and the new High Sheriff of Norfolk, Major General Sir William Cubitt, KCVO, CBE.

The main celebration was led by Reverend Canon Andrew Beane - Vicar of Aylsham and District Chaplain, with every section’s flag impressively flying in the breeze at the front of the arena. The main gathering included each group taking forward, one by one, a neckerchief, linking it together with the previous ‘necker’ with a ‘Friendship Knot’, lots of campfire-style songs including ‘Ging Gang Goolie’ and ‘Give Me Joy in My Heart (Shout for Scouting)’ – led by friends of Salhouse Group, Andy Betts and Andrew Hudson) and a ‘Mexican Wave’ stunt. All 550 scouts, leaders and helpers also made their Renewal of Promises.

County Commissioner, Nickie Chapman, attended especially to present a coveted ‘Silver Acorn’ Award to the Group Leader of Hoveton & Wroxham – Terry Hughes. Terry was also thrilled to have been invited and was very much looking forward to attending the National Awards Ceremony at Windsor Castle on the following Sunday.

Sheringham Independent 440

District Commissioner, Paul Henriksen, also introduced special guest, Mrs. Hilary Richards, the Chief Executive of the children’s charity, Break who explained that the scout members present (aged from 6 years onwards Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers) had participated in some part of the Go, Go, Dragons! initiatives last summer, with several sections taking the Dragon Trail either with leaders or with parents many Dragons were painted, modelled and moulded over the months, as well as dragon quizzes and challenges devised, medieval costumes made etc.

Hilary presented Go, Go, Dragons! gifts as prizes to the youngsters who put the most effort into collecting their pennies in the Break Go, Go, Dragons! collecting boxes last summer – the young people who received Go, Go, Dragons! mugs as prizes were three scouts from 1st Buxton Lamas (Sea Scouts) - Patrick Johns, Lily-Mai Spinks and Finn Overton and, from 1st Stalham Cubs, Alfie Smith, Casey Talbot and Connie Battley. (Alfie and Casey are still in the pack as Cubs but Connie has moved up to Scouts now.) We are not sure how much each child collected but do know that Casey filled her box to the top with small change and topped it up with her own pocket money to make sure it was “really full”. Consequently, Hilary presented Casey with a Mini Dragon (Patch) as a special congratulations for her efforts. We were also really pleased that we were able to have our own Scouting Dragon ‘Bajestic’ on site for the celebrations. She ‘flew’ in from her new home at the Eaton Vale Activity Centre to spend the day with us, and by kind permission of Mr Daniel Dawson-Gordon of the Norfolk Antique & Reclamation Centre, one of the Duelling Dragons sculptures also watched over us.

In this Centenary year of Cub Scouting, we have many other celebrations planned including a District Camp at Holt Hall over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, but we particularly wanted to make this St George’s Day an extra special Jamboreestyle Celebrationfor our scouting youngsters and their families to enjoy. In keeping with the medieval theme, our central celebration included the story of St George and the Dragon, vividly recounted to the gathering by storytellerDave Tonge. This led the youngsters nicely into the activities that followed, including the chance to try medieval activities found in a medieval village provided by family members of the Norfolk and Norwich Medieval Association, 14th Century re-enactment group.

They were able to enjoy ‘come and try’ archery, hobby horse jousting, fighting knights with favours, dressing-up as knights, sling shot demos, and medieval games, and also allowed to strike their own commemorative coins. There were also some beautiful birds of prey which the youngsters were able to hold, sword-making for the young Beavers, a ‘living village’ with ‘medieval’ cooking, crafting skills,

Bea’s Story …

‘I am writing this not to cause alarm or distress, but to raise awareness. Why are those female bits never talked about? Read my story and it might make you talk about yours.’

Bea wants every woman to be aware, the biggest awareness that can be raised with any woman is that if you have any issues in that area, however brief, get it checked out. This sort of thing is easy to ignore, it could easily been seen as ‘it happens’.

Upon visiting her doctor, a referral was made for Bea to The Post Menopausal Bleed Clinic. The PMB nurse performed an ultrasound scan, which showed a thickening of the womb lining. A sample was taken.

One week later Bea got a phone call from the hospital, a call she will never forget. When they asked if she was alone, Bea knew immediately that this was not going to be good news. She was told that changes were occurring and a hysterectomy was recommended.

Things moved quickly and within a month 26

of her first and only symptom, Bea had an operation - to take away the very thing that made her a woman.

Bea had had a smear only 14 months earlier and this had been normal, but this was higher up, it was the womb.

A week after surgery Bea was told she had Endometrial Cancer Grade 1 – 1a.

The surgery has left Bea feeling empty; empty of everything that made her a woman. Bea, a woman in her 50s, was never going to have more children, but there is a feeling of emptiness, a feeling of no longer being a woman. The nest is not just empty, it is gone.

One question doesn’t get the answer women will be looking for - why are post menopausal women not routinely scanned?

Bea is organising a charity walk on 1 October in Sheringham Park to raise money for The Eve Appeal, a women’s research cancer charity. She says women deserve routine scans to observe the subtle changes that occur very early before malignancy.

Ten get Ten out of Ten - North Norfolk Photographic Society

One of the highlights of a camera club’s year is its ‘annual competition. In the case of North Norfolk Photographic Society, this now results in four competitions, one each for Novices and Advanced members in each of two categories, prints and digital projected pictures.

On 4 May, the projected images were judged by Vic Hainsworth.

The Novice section attracted 25 entries from 10 members and was won by Grace Glaister with ‘Chilly in Cromer’, a photograph of Cromer pier on a chilly day, centred on two of the benches on which (unsurprisingly) nobody Judge Vic Hainsworth was seated!

After leaving the Services, Vic was for over 20 years a professional wedding photographer, and has been a member of Colchester

Second was Martyn Gould (‘Lone Swimmer’) and third was Val Dawson (‘Dame Colin’).

The result of the Advanced section was quite month from 7:30 pm in the Holt Community remarkable. Almost 80 pictures were submitted Centre. by 27 members and Vic Hainsworth awarded For further details please contact the club full marks to 10 of them. From these he chose Secretary, Judith Wells at ‘Consumed by the Waves’ by Paul Richards as secretary.nnps@gmail.com. the winner; this photograph of a swimmer in a large wave was full of action and detail.

Sponsored cycle ride to raise funds to provide work skills experience for people with acquired brain injuries

Gaining work experience after leaving school or university can be a difficult task, as some of us may have experienced when starting out on the career ladder. However, for those who have experienced a head injury as a result of a road traffic accident, stroke or a long term neurological condition, it can seem like an impossible task.

Novero Specialist Care at Oak Farm & Oak Court, Taverham on the outskirts of Norwich, specialise in residential, nursing and rehabilitation for people recovering from their head injuries. For some, part of that rehabilitation is the desire to return to some form of work in the community, whether paid or voluntary. However, opportunities to work close to the rehabilitation units at Oak Farm & Oak Court currently do not exist – it is important for people recovering that they are close to support staff at the rehabilitation units with easy access (by wheelchair or by walking) so that they can build confidence from working in the community in familiar surroundings.

Hannah Butler-Bird, physiotherapist and Sue Hudson, occupational therapist from Novero Specialist Care, aim to raise funds from a 150 mile cycle ride across England from the West coast to the East coast (Whitehaven, Cumbria to Tynemouth, Newcastle) on Saturday 21 May in order to set up a charity shop in the Taverham/ Drayton area. It is hoped that people from Novero Specialist Care (as well as those attending the local acquired brain injury rehabilitation charity Headway Norfolk and Waveney in Norwich) will be able to develop and practice their work skills in the charity shop under the guidance of a shop manager, therapy and support staff as part of their therapy/ rehabilitation programmes. As well as sponsorship, Hannah and Sue would be grateful for support from businesses in the Taverham or Drayton area who would be able to offer premises for the newcharity shop. Donations can made via www.justgiving.com/charityshoptaverham

Introducing Joel Lodge, our Norwich City reporter

Arsenal vs. Norwich Review In what was yet another loss for Norwich fans, they could perhaps take some encouragement from the late kick off game against Arsenal who came out 1-0 victors. Norwich started off the match in positive fashion with Redmond testing Petr Cech in the early minutes of the game. Norwich continued to perform well for the first half using a very good counter attacking style of play whilst also managing to defend relatively well. In the latter stages off the first half Norwich started to make more chances for themselves with another good chance through Nathan Redmond at the back post but only for Cech to make another good save keeping Arsenal in the game.

However, Norwich were unable to capitalise on their first half chances, which proved to be costly. The real game changing moment for me came in the 56th minute when Danny Welbeck was brought on for Alex Iwobi and he had an instant impact on the game. As soon as he came on, he started to stretch the Norwich defence, which paid dividends when he

volleyed Arsenal ahead from Giroud’s knockdown. After the goal, Norwich could not continue with their first half form failing to regain momentum to try to get a point out of the game, which could end up proving to be vital in the relegation run in.

Unfortunately, Newcastle and Sunderland managed to pick up points at the weekend leaving Norwich in a precarious position in 19th place. Norwich vs. Manchester Utd Review Norwich yet again succumbed to another loss in the early kick off on Saturday 7 May with relegation looking a near certain. Norwich started the game in a similar fashion when they faced Arsenal away, immediately forcing pressure on the United defence, which ultimately should have ended in a goal. In the early minutes, Cameron Jerome missed another gilt-edged chance that could have proved pivotal in the relegation battle as he headed a chance from six yards, straight at David De Gea. This summed up Norwich’s season as a whole as well as the season that Cameron Jerome has had, which has been poor overall.

Manchester United failed to impress in the first half as they created very few chances for themselves. Norwich were organised at the back and forced United into making errors.

Alex Neil made a change in the 60th minute to take off Robbie Brady for Mbokani in the hope of getting 3 points out of the game with United there for the taking. I feel this change had an impact on the game, as I believe that Jerome should have been taken off over Brady.

Around ten minutes after this change was made, Sebastien Bassong mistimed a header, which allowed Rooney to run clear of him to then find Juan Mata who slotted home from close range after Olsson failed to track his run. This result makes relegation a near certainty unless Newcastle and Sunderland manage to lose their remaining games. STOP PRESS - Despite a great final win against Watford 4-2, Sunderland beat Everton 3-0, to relegate the Canries and Newcastle to the Championship. Season round-up in next issue.

New ‘Bathing Water’ designation for West Runton - Defra decision follows NNDC request and formal consultations West Runton beach has been officially designated as a ‘bathing water’, a key step on the way to winning sought-after Blue Flag status.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) recently announced that West Runton has successfully passed the tests to achieve the designation. Beaches, and inland lakes that attract a large number of bathers, can be designated as bathing waters under the Bathing Water Directive. Water quality at bathing waters is tested during the bathing season, which in England runs from 15 May to 30 September.

Cllr Becky Palmer Cabinet Member for Leisure, said “The district is very proud of its four Blue Flag beaches at Cromer, Sheringham, Sea Palling and Mundesley. “The Blue Flag status helps both visitors and locals understand how clean a beach and its waters are, as well as the high quality of facilities provided. It is something that is recognised worldwide.

“Bathing water designation is one of the crucial steps on the way to winning Seaside Award status, and then Blue Flag status.” Cllr Sarah Butikofer, ward member for the Runtons, said “This is fantastic news for local people, local business and visitors. The quality of the beach warrants the designation, both in terms of its beautiful visual appeal and in terms of its history. We have coachloads of young people coming here on regular occasions to learn about the West Runton Mammoth, the chalk reef and the Cromer Forest Bed.” The application for the designation was formally made by North Norfolk District Council following a local consultation. Defra ran its own consultation which was completed in March.

West Runton has RNLI Lifeguards operating from July to September, public toilets at the bottom of the gangway, car parking, bus and rail services, a café by the gangway and other food outlets and shops in the village.
