HRH The Duke of Kent opens new Sheringham Museum Extension Sheringham Museum is pleased to announce a landmark date for its ongoing Seaside Education, Exhibition and Archive Centre Project.
At the end of last month, HRH The Duke of Kent officially opened the new space when he visited the museum. HRH is a repeat visitor to the museum, having first visited in March 2010 to officially open the first phase of the museum at its new home of The Mo on the East Promenade of the town. This project has seen the conversion of the flat roof area on top of ‘The Mo’ building into a state of the art archive, exhibition and education facility to help protect, display and collect the unique maritime and social history of the town, helping new users to engage with the heritage preserved within.

HRH The Duke of Kent opens new Sheringham Museum Extension
Continued from front cover... HRH The Duke of Kent was an appropriate choice for the opening as he is also the President of the RNLI, with the display of the retired Sheringham B702 Atlantic 75 Lifeboat forming an integral part of this project.
Placed on station in 1994, The B702 ‘Manchester Unity of Oddfellows’ lifeboat was the first Atlantic 75 in the country to enter full operational service after the prototypes were developed by the RNLI and Atlantic College in Wales. Now on public display within the new extension, this project will give her the prominence and secure future she deserves after a long, successful and pioneering career with the RNLI.
Museum Manager Philip Miles said “The museum has been given the unique opportunity to preserve and display a significant piece of maritime history. Our current premises could not support this essential growth to our collection as the original ‘Mo’ building was never designed to be a museum and was at capacity. With the support given by the HLF, other funders and our volunteers, we have been able to create a stunning new space with unrivalled views of the North Sea, providing the perfect home for this important piece of National Maritime Heritage. We were delighted that HRH The Duke of Kent could join us in celebrating our achievement”.
The new space was open to the public all Easter and will be used for schools and groups during school term time and as an exhibition space at all other times.
The museum is interested in hearing from any people who would be interested in volunteering at the museum to help them operate the new spaces and the museum.

Experience Sheringham relaunch night
The Sheringham Chamber of Trade and Sheringham business owners attended the relaunch night for the Experience Sheringham website ... www.experiencesheringham.com Attendees were treated to food and drink before a short presentation from the new director of Experience Sheringham Ltd, Jon Hayman.
During the presentation, Jon demonstrated how the website will look and feel, showing a modern web design and a sleek interface. Visitors to the website will be actively encouraged to be social, leave reviews and get involved with a new online community.
Business owners can add their premises in the form of a “place”. This features a big banner image, social integration, email sharing, video integration, unlimited photo uploads, a personal map which allows visitors to get directions from their location directly to the business.
As part of the new online community visitors can make friends, join groups and interact with business owners and the community. Members of the public can also find the Experience Sheringham leaflet around the town and in local tourist information centres.
The website is now live and businesses are encouraged to add their listing. Events can be listed for free to encourage community growth.

Resolution for Sheringham Youth Zone
On 11 April two of our leaders met with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Community Centre (Town Councillors) regarding the very stressful and upsetting situation which occurred between the Town Council/staff and the Youth Zone.
We have had issues with the behaviour of certain youngsters, however these issues had been dealt with by the introduction of the 'red card system'. The Town Council received fabrications of the truth and, through lack of communication and without hindsight, judged us. As the voice for our youngsters, we challenged this.
After our very successful meeting, we established that the majority of our Town Councillors are very supportive of the work which we do and supportive of the youngsters, who they really want to stay within Sheringham where they can continue to have a safe and fun inclusive Youth Zone.
We are trusting that our relationship with the Town Council will be happily rectified and good communication between both sides is the best solution. Please feel able to contact us for any further information and, if issues occur which you or your youngsters are not happy with, remember 'communication' - please let us know.
Youth Zone will be back at their home at Sheringham Community Centre 6pm - 8pm on 21 April with a party. Sheringham Independent 462

CROMER AND SHERINGHAM PROBUS CLUB
Cromer and Sheringham Probus Club met for lunch at The Links Hotel at the beginning of April, followed by a fact based and interesting talk by Sir Michael Savory on the ‘History of the Defences of Weybourne’. Today, this small village seems an unlikely setting for what, over the past five centuries, has been a hive of military activity in defence of this part of Britain.
The first defences were built for fear of an invasion by the Spanish Armada in 1588 when Baconsthorpe Castle became the Headquarters in support of Weybourne Fort. Much later when the railways came to North Norfolk in 1887 the route chosen had to avoid the military camps and so the station was sited about a mile from the village.
The Weybourne Springs Hotel was built near the station but, being an obvious landmark for the possibility of attack by invading German forces, was demolished in 1940. During this period the village was taken over by the army, with between three and four hundred anti-aircraft guns put in place, at least 30,000 men trained to use them, an estimated one and a half million shells fired but nothing ever shot down from this camp.
However Weybourne was now well and truly ‘on the map’ – even Sir Winston Churchill paid this little village two visits – and the present day visitor can catch up with some of this military history at the Muckleburgh Collection.
At our next lunch meeting on Tuesday 2 May at which ladies are welcome as guests, the speaker will be the former Head of BBC Radio Norfolk, David Clayton, telling us about ‘My Life in Radio’.
If you are a retired or nearly retired business or professional man and would like to attend this lunch, please contact our Lunch Secretary, Dave Vickery on 01263 824306, or have a look at our website candsprobus.club for more information.

Coming to North East Norfolk : The Big Sit on Sunday 7 May 5am – 8pm
The aim of the Big Sit is to record as many species as possible from a chosen 17-feet diameter circle in a 24 hour period, though realistically most sites are up and running between dawn and dusk. The Club will be operating from a series of public sites across the Club area, including Felbrigg Park, so come along and share in the fun. Anyone can participate - even create your own circle in your garden as several members did last year. At the 2015 events, 115 species were recorded in total across all seven sites! From doing the Big Sit we hope to gain valuable data about visible migration and the birds in our area. Results will be collated and published in the NENBC newsletter, The Pied Flyer.

Jewellery Exhibition
Meg Matthews, a jewellery graduate from Sheringham is to have her first exhibition at Franklin’s Yard, Holt on 5th to 6th May stunningly combining silver with sea glass found along our coastlines.
Megan a former student at Sheringham High School who graduated from UCA Farnham with a 1st BA Honours in Jewellery is to have her first exhibition showcasing her hand crafted jewellery inspired by her beachcombing finds.
Megan returned to Sheringham after her graduation last year to set up her own workshop. Over the last six months Meg has been refining her skills using silver to frame unique pieces of sea glass, creating stunning contemporary pieces of jewellery.
“I have always been a beachcomber and as a child finding a piece of sea glass was like finding treasure. I now turn the sea glass I collected into jewellery, I think it is a great way to preserve a memory of a special day.”

Girlguiding Norfolk Archive Resource Centre (ARC) training, coffee mornings, clubs, etc. The main room is a good size (5mx6.4m), and has tables and chairs for 24. Free wifi is available. There is also a kitchen with fridge, microwave and tea/coffee-making facilities.
Girlguiding Norfolk is very proud of its new Archive Resource Centre (ARC), built in the grounds of Patteson Lodge, across the road from Hautbois House at Coltishall.
It was purpose built, so that our many archives and collections could be taken from lofts, garages and attics, and housed somewhere appropriate where they could be properly looked after and made accessible to as many people as possible. They are being kept in rooms at an appropriate temperature and monitored for bugs and beasties! Our recent conservation report was very positive. A working group meets weekly and is compiling an inventory of what we have; to date we have found some wonderful treasures!
There have been a variety of people using the building to date. A weekend residential group slept in the Lodge next door and spent the days sorting archives, sewing on labels and badges, recording interviews, and putting together handling boxes. “It was amazing to see how old some of the things in the archives were! The oldest item was from 1916, ” said Megan, a guide on her Baden Powell Award (the highest a guide can achieve) weekend. “A group of girls from North Oulton Senior Section (for 14-25 year
We are also delighted to be able to offer the ARC to the local community as a modern, light and comfortable space to hold meetings,

olds) spent the whole day sewing away. It was obvious that it was hard work but the girls all agreed that it was very enjoyable as they could work together as a team to finsih sewing old badges onto a blanket for display,” said our young guiding reporter.
An AGM has been held, planning meetings, and meetings for Brownies and Guides where they dressed in uniforms from the past and found out what Guides did to help in the War.
There are several upcoming opportunities to visit the ARC and see what's going on. There is an afternoon tea party on Sunday 4 June, from 2-5pm, with a very special guest from the Great British Bake off, Kate Barmby (a Brownie leader). We will also be open to the public on 9 and 10 September as part of Heritage Open Days, and in true guiding fashion we will be serving tea and cakes!

Water, water everywhere… so how do plants respire? By Beckie Grimmer from Norfolk Landscape Gardeners
All living cells respire, it allows them to grow and multiply, as well as actively function. Plants must respire to stay alive.
Aerobic respiration is the process by which glucose and oxygen are converted into water, carbon dioxide and energy. This is the most efficient method that plants can obtain energy. It is seen as the opposite reaction to photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide, water and sunlight are converted into oxygen and glucose.
Plants use the oxygen produced in photosynthesis for their own respiration, and, thankfully for us, release excess oxygen into the atmosphere. When no oxygen is present, anaerobic respiration takes place, and fewer ‘energy’ molecules are created. A by-product of this is ethanol, which in high quantities will kill the cells, and oxygen must be used to remove it again.
Usually, when we anaerobically respire we get a build-up of lactic acid that causes a stitch, but if you think that’s bad then spare a thought for poor plants that can have entire sections pickle to death.
In terrestrial plants, oxygen from the air moves into the leaves through tiny air-holes called stomata. Their roots use the small quantities of oxygen in the soil to respire, which becomes impossible for them in waterlogged conditions. They will anaerobically respire for a short period of time, but need the soil to aerate again to recover.

plants, using modified terrestrial features to withstand emerged, submerged, or floating conditions. These are known as hydrophytes or macrophytes. So, if terrestrial plants can’t live on anaerobic respiration long-term, why don’t aquatic plants die?
• Some hydrophytes have adapted to survive prolonged periods of anaerobic respiration and can cope with the usually toxic ethyl alcohols. This isn’t, however, an indefinite strategy. • Submerged leaves have modified to obtain oxygen and carbon dioxide from water rather than air. The absence of a waxy coating lets dissolved gases and solids move in and out of the leaves. The surface area is increased by having either long, extremely thin leaves with smooth edges or leaves that are split into lots of small leaflets, so that they can get as much oxygen as possible. • Aerenchyma is a soft plant tissue containing air spaces that extends throughout the plant to bring oxygen to any submerged material. It also allows the plant a back-up supply of oxygen if required; for example, at night time when plants cannot photosynthesise and produce their own oxygen and the dissolved oxygen levels in the water get used up. • Plants may create a film of air around roots and leaves to improve gas exchange.
There are also plant adaptations that expose part of their structure above the surface of the water and aerenchyma is then used to transport oxygen to the rest of the plant. This could be in the form of water repelling leaves, roots that grow straight up out of the water like a snorkel, or porous bark that can take in more air. Some plants have such large air pockets that they become completely buoyant, giving them access to air as they float on the surface of the water.
But why do any of us gardeners need to know this? I read a piece of advice the other day, stating that to prevent houseplants from dying you mustn’t over or under water, but keep the plant consistently moist. Don’t succumb to believing plants should all be treated the same! In fact, the biggest killer of plants in nurseries is incorrect watering, and that’s a professional environment, so don’t beat yourself up if you do kill your plants with too much (or, even I admit, too little) love. Start with just one house plant and make sure you have a botanical name for it. Ask at your local garden centre or look online for advice pages on its cultivation requirements and stick to those – you are trying to mimic its natural habitat and a generic watering schedule for all houseplants is unlikely to do them much good. Cacti can be raised as houseplants, but require very little water, whereas a Venus flytrap is a bog plant and will happily sit in a tray of rain-water. You may even find researching your plant fascinating, so beware the hidden danger that it may be a gateway interest into full blown botany!

Art Prize renamed in honour of Norfolk screen legend
Holt Festival Art Prize renamed the Sir John Hurt Art Prize – now open for entries
One of the east of England’s top art prizes has been renamed in honour of one of Norfolk’s most famous adopted sons. The Holt Festival Art Prize will be known as Holt Festival - Sir John Hurt Art Prize to celebrate the screen and stage acting legend, who, before his sad death in January had been a great enthusiast for the Prize. He served on the panel of judges and presented the award to the winning entry as often as acting commitments allowed.
Holt Festival - Sir John Hurt Art Prize is open to artists everywhere. In previous years, there have been entries by artists from all over the UK. There is a cash prize of £1,500 for the winner and, in addition, the winning artwork will be exhibited at Norwich’s prestigious Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in the autumn.
All types of visual art are welcome but entries must be submitted before the deadline of midnight Sunday 18 June 2017. Judges will select a shortlist of 25-30, which will be exhibited at the Auden Theatre, Holt from 23-30 July.
The winner will be announced at a private
view on the evening of 23 July. The exhibition is part of the Holt Festival Art Trail that also takes in many other galleries and exhibition spaces around the town.
Alongside his amazing acting career, the late Sir John Hurt was a gifted painter. At the age of 17 he attended The Grimsby Art School (now the East Coast School of Art and Design) and Sir Jon Hurt presenting the Award in 2014 to winner Francesca Perkins in 1959, he won a Photo: Rodney Smith scholarship to Saint Martin's School of Art commented ‘Holt Festival was keen to (now Central St. Martin’s) in London. acknowledge the support and friendship He continued to paint throughout his life.

North Norfolk Railway : HLF Supported Suburban Coach Project The North Norfolk Railway is proud to announce the launch of the totally refurbished suburban coach set which has been a joint project between the Railway and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The launch took place on 15 April at Sheringham Station and was followed by the coaches being hauled for the first time with passengers to Holt and returning via Weybourne. Invited guests, including representatives from the HLF, travelled on the train which consisted of the two coaches funded by the HLF and the remaining two funded by the North Norfolk Railway. The project was started following HLF approval in 2014 and was completed early this year.
These locomotive hauled Mk1 Suburban carriages were some of the last of a long line of non-gangwayed coaches reaching back to the dawn of railways. From the 1830s the early railway carriage builders continued the practises of the old road coach builders by building passenger compartments with opposing bench seats and exterior access doors to each side of the compartment. This was the most common coach design right through into the early 1950s, the corridor coach, with a
gangway though to the next vehicle, only coming on the scene in the 1880s. Introduced in 1954 these Mk1 Suburban carriages survived until 1977, being the last of their kind on the British Railways network. The final examples ended their days working Suburban services out of London’s King’s Cross station before being superseded by modern electric services.
The Suburban project was the brainchild of Clive Morris who was Chairman of the North Norfolk Railway during part of the project period. Sadly, Clive passed away part way through the project, completion of which he would have been proud to see.
On the same day the Clive Morris Room at Weybourne was formally opened, inaugurated by Betty Morris.
Hugh Harkett Managing Director said “Clive would indeed have been proud of the achievement of a running Suburban Four set.
The Carriage & Wagon Department and Volunteers of the North Norfolk
Railway are to be heartily congratulated on the high quality workmanship that has gone into these splendid suburban coaches. We have expended in the region of quarter of a million pounds on this very worthy project, including an exhibition coach showing the refurbishment methodology and history of suburban travel.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has contributed around £ 90,000 - we have received generous donations of £50,000 and the rest has been paid directly out of our reserves. We are looking to using these carriages in our Galas – first on 21-23 April and in a special “Suburban Travel Week” from 2 – 9 July.”

North Norfolk artists get set to invite the public into their studios
Hundreds of artists across the region are preparing to throw open their studio doors to the public as part of Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios.
The event, firmly established as one of the biggest open studios schemes in the country, is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year. Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios (27 May – 11 June) provides the opportunity for artists to show and sell their work to a large and diverse audience. It also encourages everyone, from ardent art-lovers to the curious first-time visitor, to get out and about, see art and meet artists in the informal surroundings of their studios.
More than 500 artists will be taking part this year across 254 venues throughout Norfolk and in North Norfolk 149 artists will be taking part across 83 venues.
Visitors to the free event can see art in a range of settings, from professional studios to garages and spare rooms, watching art as it happens.

Running prior to and throughout the run of the scheme, the exhibition gives visitors a one stop way to extend their open studios experience. Exhibition coordinator, Jill Hill, said “The great variety of work makes for an interesting exhibition giving visitors an opportunity to compare in a beautiful and relaxed setting, with up to three pieces by each artist visitors are able to get a clear glimpse, or a good taste, of artists they might then wish to visit.”
North Norfolk artist Claire Knight said “I have taken part in the scheme twice before and I think it is an extremely valuable opportunity for artists to gain confidence, get feedback and to guide the general public to a studio they may not otherwise have been aware of. This year I encouraged all Ros Dixon, Administrator of Norfolk five artists in the Lower Henry J Stephen & Norwich Open Courtyard at Alby Crafts Studios, said “Norfolk & Gardens to participate as a group so you & Norwich Open Studios has will find my studio alongside a printmaker, been celebrating the diversity and a woodworker, a sculptor and a potter.” talent of the county’s visual

From Cumbria to Cromer, goat herd size to double
North Norfolk District Council’s famous Bagot goat herd moves back into town and will double in size later in the year. A herd of eight Bagot goats have been moved back into their spring and summer residence on Cromer’s cliff. The goats have been clearing land in recent months at Happy Valley. Their move back into the heart of Cromer was made today thanks to NNDC officers. The Bagot billies, which have appeared on television and in newspapers, will be joined by another eight Bagots from Cumbria sometime in May. In order to make adequate space for the expanded herd, the size of their enclosure will be more than doubled when new fencing is installed to the west of the current enclosure. The enclosure currently stops at the white steps above the promenade, but will be extended to the zig zag steps.

Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett Cabinet Member for Environmental Services said “Last year the goats were very popular with visitors, but also did a fabulous job at managing the habitat.
“It is excellent news that there will be an addition to the herd later in the year, which means an extra attraction for our visitors but also an extended area which will be naturally managed by these brilliant undergrowth clearing machines.”
In the past the cliff area has become overgrown, leading to a problem with litter embedded and snagged in bushes. The Bagot goats graze on rough materials rather than grass and therefore last year kept plant growth over the area under control.
The Bagot is believed to be Britain’s oldest breed of goat and unlike most other breeds that favour mountains and uplands - it developed in the English lowlands. Bagots are very hardy and easy to tame.

Norfolk School’s lifelong approach to reading earns praise from Minister of State Aldborough Primary school achieves 100% in reading tests
A government minister of state has written to a North Norfolk primary school to praise its high standards in reading.
Aldborough Primary School, which lies between Aylsham and Holt, achieved 100% in its key stage 2 reading tests. The Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP, minister of state for school standards, noted that the result put Aldborough in the top 1% of schools nationally.
“Thank you for your hard work and professionalism in producing such high standards,” he said in his letter to head teacher Tina Casburn, “and congratulations to you and your staff for all you have achieved.”
It is not the first time the school’s reading has been noted. The UEA regularly sends groups of education students to see how the school teaches reading, and schools from other parts of Norfolk have come to learn about its unusual approach.
ASK the Property Expert
As property experts we get asked a lot of questions – from both vendors and buyers. Here is a selection of this month’s* If you have a question for our property expert find us on social media (@arnoldskeys #AskClive) or email us sheringham@arnoldskeys.com I’m thinking about moving but can’t find anything I want to buy, should I invite an Estate Agent round yet? Yes, as a matter of urgency. There are a number of sellers registered with agents on a low key basis waiting to sell properties as soon as something suitable becomes available for them. One of them might suit you and yours might suit them. My property is about to go on the market but I get nervous about showing people round what can I do? A good agent such as Arnolds Keys will have staff specifically trained to show applicants around a property and take away the stress of knowing what to say. Not too much and not too little! I have been left a property that must be sold. Can I sell it before Probate has been granted? You can place the property on the market and indeed agree a sale for it, however you cannot exchange contracts until Probate has been granted.
“Reading should be a pleasure – we focus on that and it brings results,” says Mrs Casburn. “At the heart of our teaching is group reading – where pupils in small groups, led by an adult, read and discuss a book. We do not use reading schemes, we do not focus too much on phonics. It flies against most conventional thinking but, believe it or not, if you give a child decent books, and nurture their ability to really understand them, they actually enjoy reading.”
Anyone interested in finding out more about the school should call the office on 01263 761264 or email office@aldborough.norfolk.sch.uk.

You cannot be serious – But that’s Family Law! by Neale Grearson Family Law Solicitor Clapham & Collinge Solicitors As was widely reported in the national media the Court of Appeal gave its decision on the appeal of Tini Owens against the decision not to allow her to have a divorce based on her husband’s unreasonable behaviour.
Despite huge criticism by the Court of Appeal and in particular the President of the Family Division Sir James Munby the Court of Appeal went along with the original Court decision that Mrs Owens should not be able to have a divorce. This was the case where the original Judge effectively thought that the allegations of unreasonable behaviour made by Mrs Owens were normal for marriage and she should just effectively put up with it. Sir James Munby made specific reference to the manipulation that often goes on to achieve a divorce based on unreasonable behaviour with parties exaggerating or on occasions even giving incorrect information so as to get a divorce. However the Court of Appeal would not go so far as to overrule the original Family Court’s decision because effectively that is the law! We are left with a very out of date process for a divorce that is based on only one ground which is the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage. However to show that breakdown this can only be done in one of five ways. For an immediate divorce that can only be based on adultery or unreasonable behaviour and that is where the dilemma lies. A husband or wife needs to “blame” the other to obtain a divorce and to raise very often what can be very emotive issues about behaviour. What is sufficient to be classed as unreasonable behaviour to allow a divorce is much more difficult to define. Over the years best practice has always been not to say all that could be said so as to avoid making a difficult situation even worse. The Court of Appeal has now effectively said that must end and there is a scary prospect of much more intensive detail being given about unreasonable behaviour to avoid the risk of the Family Court refusing to allow a divorce to take place. And yet recently it has been reported in the press that the Ipswich Family Court allowed a divorce based on a row over Marmite!
But is this what husbands and wives want? Whilst the case of Mr and Mrs Owens is an extreme one the vast majority of divorces do not currently result in the divorce itself being defended. Whilst it is very rare for there
to be an agreement on a divorce the reality is that one party very often has to acknowledge that because the other wants a divorce it is going to happen. Pragmatic positions have to be taken because little is often served in a very expensive “fight” over whether there should be a divorce at all as only the lawyers realistically benefit from very large legal costs.
So what is the solution? No fault divorce remains on the agenda of Resolution and is a high priority. It works successfully in other countries where the emphasis is on dealing with financial repercussions and arrangements for children – not the actual divorce itself. If a marriage is over should the Court stand in the way of a couple wanting a divorce? Whilst there are those that would say that at the moment it is too easy to get a divorce by way of the manipulation that Sir James Munby refers to in reality is there any good reason to keep a couple married if one of them does not want to be in that relationship. Does it not take “two to tango”? The Government has indicated that it has no plans to introduce no fault divorce. We are therefore left with the current fiasco of no one really knowing what is sufficient to be classed as unreasonable behaviour to give good reason for a divorce. In very extreme situations it will be obvious but in more borderline ones are we now faced with a situation where people are going to exaggerate details of their relationship and try even harder to blame the other. Is that not going to be even more of a manipulation of the law? Legal commentary by Neale Grearson, Partner and Head of Family Law at Clapham & Collinge Solicitors.

Fishermen
We sit and watch the ships go by Whilst sailing round the coast, The tankers, yachts and cargo ships But the ones we like the most Are the fishing boats that go to sea All year round just so we Have fish and crabs and lobsters The bounty of the sea! Though gales and winds and wavy seas May toss their boats about, They stand on deck, their legs apart And throw their baskets out. Then reel them in to count their catch, How many fish and crabs Were caught that day below the waves So many up for grabs. The shops, hotels and roadside 'vans All wait to get their quota, To sell to customers and chefs Who have not one iota Of the dangers faced by these brave men, Who go to catch this treasure So we can all enjoy this fare, And eat it at our leisure.

PEDESTRIANISATION SURVEY – RESULTS www.jscomputingservices.co.uk
Judy Oliver has now analysed the survey responses first circulated in January.
In total, there were 408 responses – a very high response to a survey, which shows how much people care about this issue. There were many views and comments expressed about possible schemes and related issues.

Judy Oliver and Richard Shepherd are very grateful to everyone who took the time to respond to the survey and to those who offered their future help. People may now want the opportunity to consider the results, so the town can decide on any next steps.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
There have been possible sightings of Daisy in the Queensway and also Kingsway areas so we are still hopeful that she will be returned to the fold. Please keep looking if you live in these areas and advise of any sightings.
In the last article we mentioned that kittens are often fathered by relatives of the mother cat. Many people are also not aware that kittens in the same litter may have different fathers. I was reminded of this when I received a photo from Margaret of the little kitten we re-homed with her 11 years ago. Billy came into care with his black and white mother, 2 black and white kittens (one of each sex), plus a little black girl. They were found in an isolated barn and despite enquiries, no owner could be found. Looking at Billy it is obvious that his father was probably a pedigree cat, while his litter-mates were fathered by moggies. As an example, ginger and tortie kittens may have the same father but tabbies, black, grey or white, in the same litter, probably do not.
We were recently sad to learn that Margaret Cootes, who was one of our fosterers for several years, had died after a long illness. We originally came to know Margaret well when delivering a kitten to her from our Dereham Branch. This was before the Branch was formed in 2000. Just a few months later we had occasion to need someone to foster some motherless kittens and Margaret volunteered to take on this role.

was just the start, as many kittens then entered her home to receive lots of love and care (plus socialising with her little dog) before leaving for new homes. Not all did leave however, as Margaret and husband Ray, fell in love with two little black kittens we called Holly and Berry, plus dear little Darcy, who arrived when only 3 days old. New owners were always made very welcome and some became good friends. Billy whose litter-mates Margaret reluctantly had to retire from her were black and white role when her she started to have health problems. As well as the care the kittens received in her home we were also very grateful for the generous donation of bedding plants we received from her and Ray for our Plants Sales. These beautiful plants, easily recognised as being theirs, were soon sold.

Cllr Maggie Prior, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture said “There are so many reasons to join this yoga class – but to be able to stretch and exercise while watching dawn colour the sea beyond Cromer, has got to be one of the best.“ “You don’t have to know yoga to be part of this class, but you’ll soon see the benefits.

TRY CROQUET AT BODHAM
Bodham Croquet Club wants new members to make more extensive use of its well-maintained lawn – and to promulgate the delights of this intriguing sport to the North Norfolk area. We serve an area extending from Mundesley in the East to Fakenham in the West.
Rain does not stop play unless there is standing water on the lawn
If you can wield a mallet and have ever been fascinated by the strategies of snooker or chess, then this sounds like the sport for you. We play the traditional form of the sport (known as ‘Association Croquet’) but, unlike Alice (of Wonderland fame) we use wooden mallets and composite balls rather than flamingoes and hedgehogs.
At first, the rules seem particularly complicated but can soon be mastered – so why not come and try it – or renew its acquaintance if you have played before! No previous experience is required and we provide all the equipment.
One of our members will be giving instruction from 10am till noon every Saturday morning in May and June from 13 May onwards. Just turn up or give us a ring beforehand. There is no charge. All we ask is please wear soft shoes to protect the lawn.
Our clubhouse is hidden in the corner of the playing field at Bodham – on the southern side of the main road at the Holt end of the village. Share the car park with those visiting the car boot.
More information from Barry on 01263 715878.
