English Channel Solo Swims for Cystic Fibrosis

Two North Norfolk swimmers, Mark Claxton, a heating engineer from Sheringham, and Paul Robson, a swimming instructor from Trunch, are prepared for their solo English Channel swims at the end of August.

Mark and Paul, members of North Norfolk Crawlers have increased their training over the last year in preparation for swimming 21 miles solo across the English Channel.

Training has involved both sea and swimming pool. Pool training with distances of up to 10km swims once a week, with an overall distance of 30km a week. Sea training has consisted of short swims over the winter months of up to 15 mins in 5oC water temperature to help with cold water accliminisation.

English Channel Solo Swims for Cystic Fibrosis

Continued from front cover... ‘Swim times in the sea have lengthened as the water temperature has risen to achieve our qualifying swim of 6 hours in water temperature 15.5 0C and under, which is required before any attempt. Our maximum swim time is a continuous 8 hours. After achieving these swims, you are ready to go, physically and mentally. To swim the channel you have to be a member of the Channel Swimming Association, and book a pilot boat to escort you across the channel safely - this was booked 18 months ago to secure a slot for this year as a limited number of boats and dates to swim. As we are both swimming solo we have different pilots. Our projected swim time is approximately 12 hours, weather depending. This is with no contact with the boat and feeds are achieved while treading water until you reach the shores of France wearing only swim trunks, one hat and a pair of goggles. Our chosen charity is Cystic Fibrosis which is very close to Mark’s heart, as his niece has this condition’. Mark and Paul are both raising money for the Norfolk Branch of Cystic Fibrosis who have continued to provide support to her and the family over many years.

Dear Margaret,

Could you please say a big "thank you" to the ladies of the Sheringham WI for the splendid Vintage Tea they put on.

It was beautifully presented, with lots of cakes and scones, not to mention tea served in lovely china cups.

All the ladies worked so hard and there was very good entertainment as well. Yours sincerely,

Sue Maxted and Alan Auckland

Dear Margaret,

We would like to bring to your attention an act of bravery and kindness by our local street cleaner Terry Money.

Although we did not actually witness this act, we bumped into Terry on the prom some time soon after the event yesterday and this is what he told us.

He had noticed a couple of children out in the water at the East side of the beach who were struggling to keep afloat in a large yellow inflatable duck. They had drifted out too far and were now panicking. Terry did no more than strip off his fluorescent work clothes as much as he could and swam out to the girls, taking with him a life buoy and securing the rope to someone on the beach.

The girls were aged 12 and 15 and in their panic had then fallen in. Terry swam to the girls and directed them to swim towards him and keep swimming until they had support from him.

Once on dry land Terry's only request was a phone call to his workplace to come out with some dry trousers to continue his day job of keeping the prom clean.

We were amazed at his act of bravery and how humble a gentleman he was, but we actually think he is quite a local hero and it would be great to acknowledge that as well by placing a piece in the Sheringham Independent.

Kind regards,

Jeannie and Terry Read

Norfolk artist wins Holt Festival - Sir John Hurt Art Prize

Norfolk born artist Chloe Steele has been announced as this year’s winner of Holt Festival’s Sir John Hurt Art Prize.

Her pencil drawing Beginnings End was chosen by the judges from over 250 entries from around the country. The winning entry is one of a series of three drawings by the artist inspired by Norfolk skies.

She said ‘It’s thrilling to win this prize in my home county. Norfolk has always inspired me, its vast skies are almost overpowering and constantly changing. For me Norfolk skies and its landscape have an emotional charge that combines the real and abstract. I consider Landscape and drawing to be at the heart of my work’.

After growing up in Norfolk Ms Steele attended Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art before training at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Her work has been regularly exhibited in the UK over the past ten years at Galleries including at Norwich Gallery, Firstsite in Colchester, Keith Talent and Pump House Gallery, London and as far afield as Canada. She has been selected for various residencies including Up in the Air, Liverpool, by the British Council in Shanghai,

Gasworks in Taiwan, Chateau de Sacy in France and by the Slade School and West Dean College, Chichester. On graduating from the Slade in 2005 she was awarded the Henry Tonks prize for drawing. She was recently commissioned by MAX architects to design steel portcullis gates for the entrance to a former department store near London’s Victoria station.

The artist, who lives in Wells-next-the-Sea, received a cheque for £1,500 and will have her work exhibited at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts later in the year.

Announcing the winner, Lady Anwen Hurt said ‘John was a great champion of art. He started in painting and painted all of his life. He was very honoured to be asked to be a judge of the Holt Festival Art Prize.’ She thanked Art Prize organizer James Glennie saying ‘Thanks to the hard work that James has put in the Prize is becoming better known with entries coming from ever further afield and the quality getting better each year.

Introducing the prize judge Robert Upstone, former senior Tate curator, also praised work by Norwich based painter Will Teather and Norwich University of Arts student Jessica Burgess.

The prize was renamed Holt Festival - Sir John Hurt Art Prize in honour of the Norfolk screen legend who died earlier this year. He was a keen supporter of Holt Festival and especially the Prize, awarding or judging or both almost every year since its inception.

Our £50,000 Fundraising Milestone When our daughter Daisy was born in 2005, we eventually found out that the blisters appearing on her skin were Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). We were put in touch with the Charity DEBRA who supported sufferers of EB, and also the area Fund Raising Manager John Parker. By 2007 we were fundraising for the DEBRA Charity. The first sale we held was at the Table Top Sale in Holt Community Centre - it was hard work but myself and my Dad Peter raised a small amount of money and awareness for DEBRA. We continued with our sales in other places and a really positive event for Michael and I was an Easter car boot sale held in the car park at Sainsbury’s in North Walsham. Since then we have been busy fund raising for DEBRA at every available opportunity!

We have had so much support from family and friends. A favourite memory for us is being cold at an event on a windy field in Weybourne and Mum Christine arriving with delicious warm freshly baked cheese scones. A stall held once at Sheringham Carnival saw me and Dad get absolutely soaked as I kept saying ‘’I think the weather will hold a little longer’’. Dad was sure it was about to pour, and he was correct! We threw everything into the car and then couldn’t get in ourselves, which was the wettest I’ve ever been! We have had fundraising competitions with each other where Michael and our son Joseph were at a car boot in Wells and me and Dad at a car boot in Sheringham and Mum was left to look after Daisy and her poorly blistered feet. I can’t remember who won, but we raised lots of money and awareness!

Thanks to Holt Parish Church for allowing us to use the Church Hall for our Jumble Sales, and without the support of all our wonderful helpers we wouldn’t be able to hold these - Sue, Peter and June are amazing helpers, everyone’s help is always very much appreciated. The night before a Jumble Sale is always a challenge, with help from parents Christine and Peter and, of course, Joseph and Daisy - a late night and then an early morning but it’s always worth it! A lovely evening was held at the Auden Theatre in Holt, with the Charles Chambers Trio. It was a truly amazing evening with lots of monies raised. We regularly join the car boots at Bodham and Cookies in Sheringham - it’s lovely to see the regular customers! Stalls at Holt Primary School and Astley Primary School are always enjoyable.

In 2010 we were charity of the day at Mannington Hall, which was possible due to the kindness of Lord and Lady Walpole. It was one of my favourite fundraising days, and our biggest fundraiser. We were included in the Radio Norfolk Treasure Hunt, and had the clue hidden on an alpaca. The garage was turned into an Art Gallery, our friends and family helped on various stalls and it was a wonderful day.

A special memory was releasing 25 DEBRA balloons at Budgens of Holt with Mr Baker and Sandra when they celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Budgens being open in Holt, where we were then chosen as charity of the year.

Christmas Tree Festivals are another significant part of our fundraising. Rotary Clubs and Masonic Lodges in the area have also been generous.

August 19th 2017

Collection boxes on checkouts in Budgens and Nobbys all add up throughout the years.

Dubs at Holt Hall holds some great memories, from enjoying strawberries in the sunshine to pulling welly boots out of the mud, whilst Razz the Clown still continued to try and entertain!

Friends Sharon, Pauline and Peter have arranged quizzes for us which is very much appreciated. We have ladies who knit and sew the most wonderful crafts for us to sell. Without all the kind donations, we wouldn’t be able to hold so many events, a big thank you to everyone.

There have been so many very special moments, meeting others in similar positions, hearing people’s stories, being part of a special team and of course raising awareness of EB and much needed funds which goes towards research to help find a cure for EB sufferers.Now into our tenth year of fundraising, we have just been presented with a certificate from DEBRA having raised £50,000, which we are very proud of.

Veronica & Michael Pearson & Family.

Free music festival set to rock the north Norfolk coast

A successful music festival on the North Norfolk coast is set to return for a second year. Unplugged By The Sea will showcase acoustic musical talent from near and far and for all ages to enjoy.

This year more than 30 acts will take part, with an eclectic variety of music on offer from harps to punk, fiddles to hip hop and folk to rock. It will take place at The Crown Inn, Sheringham on 19 and 20 August.

The event, organised by Ben Carpenter and his fiancĂŠ Loren Allen, will run 12 noon until 11pm on both days and is free to attend.

Mr Carpenter, who has previously worked as a music promoter organising Rock Bodham, said “The music has a bit of everything for everyone, from solo ukuleles to punk and from folk to harps everyone will have something they will love for sure.�

All of the acts are giving their time to the festival for free in support of this year’s chosen charity, The Norfolk Blood Bikes (SERV Norfolk).

SERV Norfolk transport blood, plasma, platelets, samples and breast milk amongst other important donations to hospitals requiring them 24 hours a day, during the week, at weekends and bank holidays. The organisation covers the county of Norfolk and is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who receive no financial compensation for their time or costs.

Miss Allen said “People don't realise how important the SERV is and how none of us know when we might need them to help us and how passionate and committed the

The magic of Avatar is right here on Earth Have you heard of mycorrhiza?

These are beneficial fungal networks that connect to tree roots and provide them with nutrients from the soil in exchange for food that the tree produces. This beneficial relationship between organisms is called a symbiosis.

This network of fungus does more than just help out a tree. Entire forests are connected by these fungal links, and it’s captivated scientists, particularly in recent years.

Dr Suzanne Simard ran an ingenious experiment. She sealed the branch of a tree in a bag, into which she injected radioactive carbon 14 carbon dioxide gas. Using a Geiger counter, she then monitored the movement of this carbon 14. She found that the carbon, once used by the plant for photosynthesis, then travelled through the branches and trunk, down into the roots and into the mycorrhizal network. The carbon 14 was then found to have been passed to neighbouring trees, where nutrients continued to be shared throughout the community.

At different times of year trees best adapted will share higher quantities of carbon to help each other out. She found that covering some trees with a shade cloth encouraged nearby trees to give them more carbon so that they would survive. Even more astoundingly, she found that saplings contained higher

ND ME M CO RE

concentrations of the carbon 14 and has theorised that the younger trees are actually provided additional support by the surrounding plants and fungus, so that the forest will continue to thrive and the tree’s genes live on. Parent trees are raising their offspring and can recognise their genetic descendants, providing them with more carbon and nutrients than other trees - and saplings actually have a four times higher survival rate because of it.

It has since been proven that not only carbon is shared, but a myriad of nutrients and chemical signals.

Much like our immune response, trees react chemically to attacks by pests and diseases, such as the bitter tannins they produce to deter caterpillars from eating their leaves and stop the infection of bacteria and fungi. Studies have now found that the mycorrhizal fungus

between trees, as well as airborne volatile chemicals, appear to pass on these defence signals, with trees on the other side of the forest chemically preparing for attack long before any pests arrive.

We’re always taught to see the competition between plants, but what a notion that instead a forest is in fact a huge collaboration, intelligent enough to help other plants to survive, which in turn prevents large scale spread of pests and diseases. No wonder forests were so successful prior to our arrival on the planet.

I have a precious, highly battered book in my collection that was much beloved by my sister and I; The Faraway Tree Stories by Enid Blyton from back in 1939. In it she describes the trees whispering to each other – “wisha-wisha-wisha” in the wind. She would have been delighted to know that her enchanted wood is actually available for all of us to visit right on our doorstep.

History of Georgian Seaside Resorts at Weybourne WI

Members were invited to bring along a friend to the August meeting of Weybourne WI.

We enjoyed an informative talk by historian and novelist Melanie Hilton about Georgian seaside resorts.

Melanie explained that seaside holidays are thought to be a Victorian invention, but records show people were bathing in the sea at the beginning of the 18th century.

Spa water was thought to be beneficial for a variety of conditions and doctors believed that seawater might have the same effect, so the popularity of sea bathing and drinking seawater grew. It was also thought that sea air would provide a cure for conditions such as TB.

Initially, seaside trips were only for the gentry. Visitors did not swim, but were ‘dunked’ into the water by sturdy women called ‘dippers’. It was around 1810 that going to the seaside for enjoyment began to catch on and children were encouraged to visit too.

the King’ every time he appeared above the waves. Eventually segregation of men and women was introduced, followed by the wearing of bathing outfits.

In the 1840s, the railway made coastal resorts more accessible for everyone and this led to aristocrats travelling abroad instead. Finally, we ended the afternoon with a delicious cream tea.

Harley Davidson Bikers visit Sheringham

Hundreds of gleaming Harley Davidsons made their annual visit to Sheringham on Saturday 29 July to the delight of the crowds that had turned out to greet them.

The sun shone as the bikers filled the sea front and streets and mingled amongst the crowd at this much-anticipated start to Carnival week proceedings.

Cromer was considered to be a particularly healthy resort. However, the south coast became more fashionable, due to the easy access from London.

Authors wrote about the romantic aspects of the coast and sea. Melanie gave some examples of poetry inspired by Cromer’s cliffs.

At first, visitors lodged in humble accommodation with local people, but gradually properties were adapted and lodging houses were established. In the 19th century naked bathing was commonplace for both men and women. George III bathed naked on a trip to Weymouth surrounded by boats containing a string band. A crowd on the beach cheered ‘God Save

to North Norfolk are being encouraged to take a taste of the county home with them.

A cook book packed full of recipes and stories from people at the heart of Norfolk’s gastronomic scene is on sale at Tourist Information Centres in Cromer and Holt.

The Norfolk Cook Book, which includes more than 50 recipes, has contributions from bakers, cooks, butchers and others. The likes of No 10 Restaurant, in Sheringham, and Cromer crabs are featured, and Great British Menu winner Richard Bainbridge has made an exclusive contribution.

Chef Charlie Hodson, one of the book’s contributors and the man behind the award-winning Nelson sausage roll, said it was aimed at “folk who really care about provenance�. He added “It’s all based around the best suppliers, retailers, restaurants and chefs in Norfolk, and the feedback has been amazing.�

“It is great that visitors to our Tourist Information Centres, which already offer a huge range of local information and advice, can now take a taste of the county home with them.�

The arrival of the book in the Tourist Information Centres comes as North Norfolk District Council promotes Norfolk Food Month, which includes selling produce in the TICs. Amongst the businesses that are involved in the campaign are Norfolk Saffron, Ollands Farm Foods (including its award-winning marmalades), the Nelson & Norfolk Tea Company, and Crush Foods (which makes oils, dressings, granola and Charlie Hodson’s sauces).

The Norfolk Cook Book, published by Meze Publishing, has been produced in association with Norfolk Food & Drink.

Sarah de Chair, of Norfolk Food & Drink, said “The book is a collaboration of some of Norfolk’s finest food and drink businesses, from restaurants to producers, coffee shops to cafes – it really does offer something for everyone and highlights what a wonderful county Norfolk is.�

St Andrews Ladies Association

The new programme for the Ladies Association has plenty of interesting meetings booked, and we hope to see all our friends and hopefully some new ones at our first evening on 12th September, when we have our Bring and Share buffet and a talk by Emily Philo. This will be at the usual time 7.30pm.

Shared Parental Leave Father wins Employment Tribunal allow parents to decide how best to split their parental leave based on their circumstances and creates equal opportunity for both mum and dad.

Nicola Stretford, Head of Employment Law at Clapham & Collinge Solicitors.

So long as you are eligible, your employer cannot lawfully deny you shared parental leave. You should first check whether you are eligible and then give notice of your intentions to your employer. In order to ascertain whether or not you are eligible they will require the following information; • your employment status (e.g. employed or worker) • the date you started your current job • the date you finished work (if you’ve finished) • how much you earn • when you want your leave to start • how much leave you want to take

In a recent case, the first of its kind, a father has won a case against his employer after they denied him more than two weeks paternity leave and therefore failed to allow him the full paternity rights of which he was entitled. His employer argued that Mr Ali was not entitled to additional leave because ‘he couldn’t give birth’.

Mr Ali won his case, after the Tribunal said that his employer had gone against the Equality Act 2010 and had not applied the new Shared Parental Leave rules. The new parental leave rules were introduced in April 2015, and mean that parents can now share up to 50 weeks of leave and 37 weeks of pay, between them. This also applies to those who are adopting.

Parents are not obliged to take Shared Parental Leave. Unless they qualify for and opt into the SPL scheme the only entitlement that the child’s father (or mother’s partner) has is two weeks’ ordinary paternity leave and pay.

The SPL scheme enables mothers and primary adopters to return to work before the end of their maternity leave entitlement. The unclaimed leave can then be taken up by the other parent under the shared parental leave rules, meaning they do not have to sacrifice any remaining leave that would otherwise be available to them. Where both parents are employed and wish to utilise shared parental leave, it is important they notify their employer at an early stage and discuss this with them in order to ensure the required steps are followed. Clapham & Collinge Solicitors have an experienced and growing Employment Law team that can advise on all areas of Employment law for businesses and individuals. To speak to a member of our specialist team please call our North Walsham office on 01692 660230 or Sheringham on 01263 823398. Appointments also available at Norwich and Brooke.

Night Flying Aircraft

I am of the age that I can well remember being scared out of my wits as a child by RAF Lightnings from Coltishall going over our house in the middle of the night, very low and very fast. Those days are long gone but we still get some low-flying aircraft at night in north Norfolk.

I work with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, which operates its helicopters from Norwich and Cambridge. We were the first air ambulance charity to get clearance to do night air ambulance work. This involves a lot of training and a lot of specialist equipment such as night vision goggles for the pilots and a large floodlight, which can be steered by one of the pilots.

The training is carried out all over East Anglia including around and into the grass airfield at Northrepps operated by Chris Gurney. So if you hear or see a comparatively quiet helicopter lit up like a Christmas tree going around that area, the chances are it’s our EAAA pilots being put through their paces – all in the name of saving lives.

Making more noise but definitely not lit up like a Christmas tree, you may occasionally see one of the rare and incredible USAF V22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft operating out of Mildenhall. It is half helicopter, half aircraft, with a giant rotor at the end of each wing. At night, all you might see is two huge green circles flying along – tiny lights at the end

of each rotor blade give that effect.

These aircraft are solely for Special Operations missions, usually delivering or recovering special forces behind enemy lines. Their training is without doubt of vital importance as part of NATO’s capability. I do have a connection – I am the honorary commander of the maintenance squadron that looks after these amazing machines, so I get to meet the flight and ground crews. They are all well aware of the impact their operations can have on the community and are grateful for our tolerance and understanding.

Finally, we sometimes see another twin-rotor aircraft – the mighty RAF Chinook transport helicopter. These occasionally visit this area, again for training purposes, often unlit and operating in pairs. It can be quite spooky to hear the deep sound and just make out dark shapes perhaps with a single red flashing light visible.

Fjords, glaciers, the northern lights - these were some of the features of an illustrated talk, on Tuesday 1 August, by Peter Stibbons about several trips to Norway (and a little further) that he has made in the last four years.

Ovenclean will transform your oven and put the sparkle back into your kitchen! â—? â—?

Beginning at Stavanger, he took us up the west coast of Norway, stopping first at Bergen with its old wooden buildings and large harbour and a picture of seacrabs for sale at the local market. Further north. it was somewhat startling to see the front end of a glacier at the head of a valley. At Ă…lesund, which seemed to be built on several islands, there were heated seats (this was in March) for the public to sit on when they were about town!

At Tromsø, as well as daytime views of the town with its modern cathedral, there were several spectacular photos of the northern lights, in the shape of wavy yellowy-green curtains, against the background of a very starry sky.

Peter also took us briefly to Svalbard, then to the Lofoten islands, and westward to the waters near the Faroe islands, where he took several amazing pictures of an eclipse.

This was a very well illustrated, interesting travelogue, which told us much about Norway as well as some of the delights of going on a cruise. Peter was thanked by the Chairman, Jack Broughton.

Our next meeting at The Links Hotel, West Runton, will be on Tuesday 5 September when Alistair Murphy, Curator of Cromer Museum, will speak on the History of Cromer Pier. If you are a retired or nearly retired professional or businessman and would like to join us at one of our future meetings, you will be warmly welcomed.

Rotary Club of North Norfolk Charity Golf Day raises £6000 for local Admiral Nurse

Nurses Project.

The Rotary Club of North Norfolk held a charity golf day at the Royal Cromer Golf Club on 2 August in aid of the Admiral

Admiral Nurses offer one-to-one support and expert advice for families living with dementia and three Rotary Clubs (Holt, Fakenham and North Norfolk) have teamed up with Dementia UK, the North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group, the Kelling Hospital Appeals Trust, the Friends of Kelling Hospital and the CT Baker Group Ltd to raise sufficient money to offer services within North Norfolk. The £6000 made on the day is a major contribution towards the cost of employing an Admiral Nurse for two years.

The golf tournament was contested by 100 players in teams of four who began their round with a ‘shotgun’ start (which means they were all on the course at the same time each starting on a different hole). Several of those taking part were not regular golfers and this together with a

blustery wind and rain later on led to some interesting results. The eventual winners were the Jerry Kelly Decorators team featuring Jerry Kelly, Philip Search, Steve Traynor and Daniel Kelly. The Royal Cromer’s Captain Jayne Jones also took part and presented the prizes to the winning teams. Jayne is the first female captain in the 129 year Club’s history.

North Norfolk Rotary President Steve Wilson said ‘We are so grateful to everyone for making this day such a success because we are now close to reaching our goal of funding an Admiral Nurse for the region for the next two years. This is just one small step but it shows that when Community Organisations and individuals come together with the NHS and National and Local Charities, many things are possible’. President Steve also thanked the players and sponsors for raising such a significant sum and went on to mention the main organiser Kevin Abbs, Lee Patterson and all the staff at the Royal Cromer and the many Rotary volunteers who had helped make the day

Jonathan Moore, Kevin Abbs, Jayne Jones, and Casey Patterson on the first tee such a success.

For those interested in joining the Rotary Club of North Norfolk meetings are held on Monday evenings at 6.30pm at the Dales Hotel in Upper Sheringham.

MP gets active for local charities

North Norfolk Member of Parliament Norman Lamb has raised around £4,000 for local charities by taking part in a sponsored Zumba fitness session. The MP donned his Lycra after being challenged in the recent General Election to join a session at North Walsham by a local resident.

“I wrote a promise on the back of one of my posters that if I was re-elected on 8 June I would take part in the Zumba session. Norman Lamb takes part in the Once we got the session fixed I set up an online fundraising Zumba fitness session at North appeal and I have been thrilled by the response from people who sponsored me. It was also great fun!” says the MP.
