Contined from front cover... Access via Cooper Road enables the build to be created effectively and in the most time efficient manner, whilst maintaining the highest level of safety. At consultation meetings held in 2017 and 2018, members of the public were able to express their views, which have been fully accommodated.

licious dewith

Matthew Smith, Business Manager at Sheringham Woodfields School, is anxious to ensure that the construction works cause as little disruption as possible to local residents, saying: "Weekday site work is limited to 08:00 to 17:00 hours, and there are currently no plans for weekend working. In order to minimise traffic congestion on Cooper Road, there will be no deliveries to site between 08:30 to 09:30 and 14:30 to 15:30 hours each day, and car parking space has been allocated to the construction team within the School's main car park. Local residents are welcome to raise any concerns with me at any time." He added "Draper and Nichols are committed to using local suppliers and trades people wherever possible, so the project should be a valuable boost to the Sheringham and wider North Norfolk economies."

When completed, this £1.4 million project will greatly increase children's access to important physical therapies, and the additional classroom space created will result in twenty four new school places. This will help relieve the pressure on demand for special school places as part of the local authorities SEND Transformation Programme. The facilities will also be made available to other local organisations within the community, therefore enabling the wider community to benefit from the facility.

Well Done Itteringham Village Community!

This year the Itteringham Village Shop will be celebrating 25 years of the Association running our shop, following the deaths of Mr and Mrs Fairhead.

Such a tremendous achievement ... we have overcome adversity, in many forms, including the threat of eviction and closure! Following our ‘Save the Shop’ campaign, we have successfully secured a substantial lease of 99 years from the NNDC. We have also been successful in obtaining grants for maintaining the shop’s continued trading.

Currently the shop has been shortlisted for a best regional award in the Rural Business Awards 2019/20.

Date for your diary! 19 October ... CURRYLICIOUS EVENING ... serving delicious curries from 6pm onwards! Eat in or Take Away.

Our celebration will be a fitting recognition of all our customer support, our local suppliers support, and the hard work and selflessness given by the shop staff and the volunteers over the 25 years, in order to maintain a rural community shop in the village.

Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club

Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club together with other Norfolk Lions Clubs would again like to thank all those who donated money towards the ECG Machine for The Jenny Lind Children’s Hospital. The hospital have now purchased the ECG Machine and the Lions are pleased to advise that it is being used on a daily basis.

The ECG Machine was on show at the Jenny Lind’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 23 September. Our photo shows the machine together with Lions Brian Harris and Hazel Harris (in yellow top) of Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club together with Lion Sue Cowee of Attleborough Lions Club.

WHY CHOOSE WHY CHOOSE SILVER & WARD WARD SILVER SOLICITORS in in 2019? 20 19 ? SOLICITORS

“It’s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.”

I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor. I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difficult time fo or many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney. As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norfolk or Norwich and I provide 22 years of expertise and exceptional service. I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offffers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay more. When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs.

“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry in 2019 to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain.

Home visits can be arranged or appointments outside of office hours including Saturdays. 0 1263 8 23465 or email clare@silverandward.co.uk 01263 823465

Well, on Saturday 26 October at 7pm, our big telly will be at the Copeman Centre in Briston, where our third 'Pictures and Sounds Quiz' will be shown on the big screen - pictures, video clips, sounds and all sorts of clues will be there for you to ponder over! Some questions are easy, some are more difficult, some are downright silly, but all are great fun!

Teams of four will compete for a prize for the best team, a booby prize for the worst team, and at just a fiver a head, with a superb buffet supper, teas and coffees thrown in as well, what’s not to enjoy?

Dying to Tell

Norfolk born author, Keri Beevis, is no stranger to the North Norfolk coast and, although based in Norwich, she has visited many times over the years.

Therefore, when it came to choosing settings for her new psychological thriller, the first based in her home county, Cromer was always going to be on the list. Other locations featured include Burnham Overy Staithe, Cley next the Sea, Norwich and Filby.

The story follows a young woman, Lila, who is the only survivor of a car accident. She believes she is on the road to recovery after being released from the hospital, but a series of unsettling incidents leave her fearing for her safety. Does she have survivor’s guilt or is something more sinister at play?

Early reviewer feedback has been positive, with one reader calling the book ‘a beautifully written thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat,’ while another writes that ‘the whole novel reads like a love letter to Norwich, and Cromer especially. Some of my favourite childhood memories are of the North Norfolk coast,’ Keri tells us. ‘I love the area and feel blessed to live in such a beautiful county. I just hope I have done it justice in my new book.’

You can even bring your own tipples with you and we will provide the glasses. You can book now by telephoning 01263 860844, and don’t worry if you can’t make up a team of four - we can match you up with some other brainy people - yes, there are just a few about (but not currently at Westminster!).

Dying To Tell was released on 26 September with Bloodhound Books.

Come and join us for a great night out at a budget price! All proceeds go to the Copeman Centre’s own fundraising.

When Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall …

It’s a glorious Autumn Thursday in Cromer, the leaves are turning red and gold and the crops are being harvested. Many of us are enjoying the sunshine as we go about our daily lives, including work, childcare, hobbies, eldercare and the myriad of other activities we get involved in. At some point in our day we give thought to what we’d like to eat for lunch, or tea, or supper and even breakfast the next day. It’s no big deal. We pop to the local shop or the supermarket, choose, pay for and enjoy our food.

Unfortunately, it’s not like that for all of us. Some of us do all the same activities until it comes to thinking about food and this is where the Foodbank with seven centres in North Norfolk steps in to help.

Picture the scene. Behind the doors of Cromer Methodist Church Hall, a group of people who are receiving short term help with providing food for themselves and their families gather at Cromer Foodbank to collect their groceries which are generously provided by those of us who recognise how tough living is when food is not readily available. And this scene happens in the other six Foodbank Centres across North Norfolk, each open one day every week.

Don’t imagine for one minute that you know what kind of people use the Foodbank. It would be so easy to stereotype. In fact, Foodbank clients are from all age groups, from the youngest to the oldest in our society. People from different backgrounds and with

different life and work experience. Some are families, some are alone, others come with a friend for support. Everyone is welcomed by members of the Foodbank Team. The intention is to give help through quiet and effective support at a time when people most need it and that intention is palpable. Food, advice, a helping hand, a listening ear, reassurance, a kind word, the opportunity to connect with others and a cuppa are all part of what this amazing organisation offers to its clients.

It is not easy to ask for help with providing food for your family and there is the sense of many contrasting human emotions – feelings of lack and hope for abundance, fear and increased courage, embarrassment and renewed confidence.

Be assured though that sad it is not. Cromer Foodbank and its other six centres in Holt, Sheringham, North Walsham, Stalham and the two in Aylsham, excel in making people feel welcome and that it’s ok to need and accept short term help when life is not going to plan. And there is a definite buzz about them all that confirms this.

The backbone of our organisation is our volunteers. Our Foodbank Centres are only as good as the people who choose to give their time and energy to us so that they can help their fellow citizens. Volunteers’ backgrounds and experience are varied and the professional and life skills they bring to us mean that we

give the best service to our clients. Perhaps you could help too.

In the words of one of the 120 people who currently volunteer to help us, “I have the greatest respect for people who are facing these challenges and I am not sure I would have been able to cope faced with any of the same situations. I cannot bear the thought of people, especially children, going hungry in 2019. That’s why I come here. However small my contribution, I know I am helping and that gives me back far more than I could ever imagine.”

The Autumn marks the ending of the Summer and the beginning of the Winter for all of us. Food is gathered and stored for the coming Winter season, including the celebration of Christmas. Even though the days are short and often dark and cold, most of us look forward to the highlights of the Winter season. This is when we most need your support to ensure that our clients can look forward too. Thank you. Please visit us at www.cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk or email info@cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk

Dum di dum di dum di dum... by Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr trust and charity lawyers across the country are bristling at the lack of basic research by the writers and producers of the long-running radio soap (or rural docudrama) ‘the archers’. Perhaps we should get out more!

By way of background: June Spencer who plays Peggy Woolley, the matriarch of the eponymous family, and who has just celebrated her 100th birthday in real life, has been rewarded by a special plot line in which she stars. It has dramatically set some cats among the pigeons of the various Archer family strands, whilst satisfying the current zeitgeist of environmental awareness. All very apposite!

Originally, Peggy set up a ‘Family Charitable Trust’ with a sum of half a million pounds to be awarded to a farming family member with the best sustainable environmental idea. No actual action seemed to be a requirement. Her son Tony who has farmed organically for decades has taken umbrage (Ambridge?) and is boycotting it in protest against the jumpingon-the-fashionable-bandwagon brigade. All very jolly!

Now Peggy, following passionate lobbying by her socially-conscious cleaner Emma Grundy, has decided to open it up to the entire population of Ambridge, not just her family.

This is a wise Inheritance Tax-planning move,

as the Trust now stands a better chance of satisfying the fundamental Public Benefit Test necessary for to achieve charitable status. Perhaps the BBC did take legal advice, after all?

There is a long history of illustrious lawyers following The Archers. My tutor at university once told me she did her weekly ironing listening to the Sunday omnibus edition. A highly respected Chancery QC became passionate about this legal faux pas at a recent conference I attended and told me later that she knew the little that she did about rural life through the show.

Oddly, canny Peggy (iron fist in a velvet glove) took advice about setting up the trust from her Financial Adviser, a smooth operator in a Range Rover with blacked-out windows. Let’s hope that his professional indemnity insurance is up to scratch. There is history of The Archer members being ripped off by dodgy financial advisors and there seems every chance that could happen again.

Peggy has now announced that the advisor has found Trustees for her; when those most suited to the role are right in front of Peggy’s nose and already known to listeners. Escaped Ab Fab character, Peggy’s daughter Lilian, is to be the Trust Administrator, which promises some true slap-stick potential, darling!

The Archers has always been kind to its lawyers. They have been credited with decency and (not always legally-accurate) competence, as well as a rare and modern diversity. Both Usha Gupta, a solicitor married to the Ambridge vicar, and Anna Tregorran, a “high-flying barrister”, who successfully defended Helen Archer against a charge of attempted murder, when sensationally, she stabbed her coercive-controlling psychopath of a husband Rob Titchener come across as good women. This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid any statement which may mislead. However no duty of care is assumed to any person and no liability is accepted for any omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our specific advice.

Children's T-shirts for Kenya!

Yes, summer’s nearly over. Are you busy packing away your children’s T-shirts, shorts, skirts, dresses, and shoes for next summer?

Have you any spare that are not going to fit them next year, or not needed, in any size or colour for boys or girls?? (good condition underwear is also needed)

Let us help yyou… ou…

We visited northern Kenya this year and, whilst we were there, we met many starving children, out in the blazing hot sunshine, dressed in just ripped, worn, clothing with nothing on their feet.

We are planning to go back early next year, and will take as much as we can of your surplus kid’s clothing with us. Can you help?

Please drop off your donations at Hayes + Storr Solicitor’s Office at the top of Station Road in Sheringham during normal office hours, or call Janet on 07765 137253 if you need any more information

Kelling Probus Club

Kelling Probus Club held its September meeting at The Dales Hotel Upper Sheringham on19 September for lunch and fellowship.

After a very tasty lunch attended by 23 members Chairman Andrew Hyatt called on John Whittington to talk to the club on 'Pharmacy in the 1950s'. John outlined how at 16 he left school to become a Boots apprentice which in two years gave him a grounding in pharmacy that bore no relation to today’s pharmacy.

He described the very old fashioned dispensary in which he did his apprenticeship. He described the old mahogany fittings to the shop and the even more old fashioned jars and bottles in which the ingredients were stored and the compounding of those drugs to make pills, powders, mixtures, ointments and creams all by measuring and weighing using the old apothecaries ounce. The only antibiotic was penicillin G later to be supplemented by penicillin V. There were no tranquilizers although valium came in in the late 50s. If you were under the weather you had a bottle of tonic made by the pharmacy - compared to today the number of drugs were very limited.

SOLD SOLD

John then went on to describe the intensive three year course at Leicester School of Pharmacy which involved study and more study to qualify as Member of the Pharmaceutical Society as his goal which he achieved in 1959. His main purpose was to contrast the streamlined pharmacy of today with the 1950 shop and to emphasize that studying was not so intensive today and taking a couple of years more to complete. He was thanked by our Chairman after questions had been asked

Youngsters learn about fishing

Despite the miserable weather forecast on a Monday morning, Cromer Junior school had a wonderfully sunny morning on Sheringham promenade learning about local fishing skills from local fisherman, Jim Lingwood.

The tide was high and splashing over at some points but it all added to the excitement of the youngsters learning about fishing and the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ)

escorts from the Beach School at Cromer. These outdoor classes aim to help youngsters understand the importance of the local fishing culture, alongside the necessity to protect and preserve areas of conservation importance under the sea in the MCZ that are not easily visible but as important as those on land.

The initiative is part of the Agents of Change project, supported by the Marine Conservation Society and led by Hilary Cox, and has stimulated interest

This is the second visit led by Amy Gill and the

Successful Summer for Scouts

1st Holt Scout Group, have had a very successful summer as we have been actively recruiting. We held an open evening at the Scout Headquarters in Cley Road, Holt in June where we received several enquiries from parents for their children, as well as from some adults who were interested in becoming either leaders or helpers.

We were out again with the District’s Climbing Wall in the Market Place on the Saturday of the 40’s Weekend, where young people were able to see if they could climb to the top and ring the bell. Many did and we had lots of enquiries

from schools as far afield as Wells and Winterton and inland to Hevingham and Colby.

The project is funded by Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the North Norfolk and Wash Marine Partnership, Seafarers UJK and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

about joining either Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. If people were not local, then their details were passed on to their home Scout District to be followed up.

We shall be out again with the climbing wall at the Love Holt / UCAN ‘Holt Town Fair’ on Saturday 12 October 10am to 4pm at the Community Centre. Come along and have ago, see if you can get to ring the bell at the top of the climbs. You can also find out about what Scouting has to offer you as well as your children.

We currently still have a few places available: Beavers are aged 6 – 8yrs, Cubs 8 – 10 ½yrs and Scouts are from 10 to 14yrs. If you were a youth member of either Scouting or Girl Guiding and had fun; then why not consider coming along and see what you can get up to as an adult? It is just as much fun but so very rewarding as well. If you would like to know more then please do get in touch via 1stholtscouts@gmail.com

Taster days at Age Concern North Norfolk Day Services Hub

Age Concern North Norfolk is an over 55s Day Services Hub which is based in Sheringham, which runs Tuesday to Friday. The aim of this service is to bring together those in need of companionship, to build new relationships and to take part in activities that encourage mental well-being and stimulate thinking.

We provide shared interest which may include reminiscence, Carer’s support, personal care, bathing service, toileting, foot care, exercise, medication given, light entertainment, indoor/outdoor activities, computer/laptop sessions and sing-a-long.

For older people living on their own it is particularly important as it provides a safe

and reliable source of social contact, thereby reducing the risk of isolation and exclusion. Around fifty percent of those who attend the Day Services Hub have disabilities including dementia, alzheimers and mental illness. We are offering a free trial day, on either a Wednesday or a Thursday, 9am to 3pm, you’ll be getting a taste of the different activities we do, you’re more than welcome to take part as much or little as you like – whatever makes you feel comfortable. Whether that’s sitting back and observing or getting involved in the fun and games, our staff and customers are happy to welcome you.

If you would like to attend you pay ÂŁ5 for the day, which includes breakfast, teas/coffee and a delicious two course lunch. To book a place

contact Alison on 01263 821188.

We would also like to give a big thank you to all the people and organisations who helped us raise ÂŁ30,000 to enable us to update our bathroom. We now have a tilting bath that has an opening side panel so customers can access the bath easily, with staff support if required. We have also extended the bathroom to allow for a seated shower. We are seeing more customers who have issues with their mobility or who use a wheelchair, therefore we have also had an overhead track fitted to allow people who need to use a hoist, to have access to both the bath and the shower. This new facility has improved our customers experience of bathing, giving them more confidence and so a more pleasurable experience, resulting in an increase of 30% for our bathing service.

Versus Arthritis Sheringham did not meet during August however we did join Chris, Versus Arthritis East Anglia area coordinator, on the hottest day of the year at the Aylsham Show to man an information stand.

Hopefully we reached out and helped people affected by the many forms of arthritis. Many will have heard of osteoarthritis, the most common form of joint disease, gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

There are numerous other forms www.versusarthritis.org is an excellent information resource on current research, treatments and understanding, supporting research and 10 million people living with arthritis.

Locally, Diana will be leading a discussion, chat and information session ‘How does Arthritis effect you?’ at Anchor Close Community Room, Sheringham on Monday 18 November between 10am and 12noon. All are welcome to join Sheringham Versus Arthritis for a coffee and chat.

Some darkly pigmented moles or changing, enlarging ones can indicate a need to see your GP or a dermatologist to exclude melanoma.

Here we discuss some common types of lumps and bumps and treatment options.

Seborrhoic warts and skin tags are very common minor skin lesions which usually do not produce symptoms or turn nasty. These are very easy to remove very successfully with barely noticeable scarring.

Raised flesh coloured moles- these are again very common and usually do not indicate any significant problem. Most remain unchanged for many years. It is best to get them checked if there are any changes or concerns. These can be removed almost instantly with shave excision or vaporised with the laser.

Pigmented moles- are a little bit tricky to remove as we remove these with a margin of surrounding skin and this means the resultant scar is usually much longer than the original mole. We also recommend these be sent for pathological examination. Routine examination of removed tissue is best practice here.

Skin cysts- these can be removed through a very small hole in the overlying skin. We now treat most small and longstanding cysts with the help of lasers.

Lipoma-or fatty lumps can be removed through a very small cut in the skin.

Xanthelasma-these are small whitish fatty deposits around the eyes. Most of these can be very successfully removed under local anaesthesia. If these are very large, especially on lower eyelids then removal in

01603 736487

a hospital setting may be required.

Broken veins/ birthmarks- most of these can be faded with the help of lasers and no surgery is normally required. A few sessions may be needed.

Rhinophyma or bulbous nose due to rosaces- this can be very successfully removed with the help of lasers. We may need to use 2-3 lasers and 3-5 sessions may be required. Results are very gratifying.

Warts- a variety of treatments are available and lasers are one option to cut off the blood supply so warts shrink and disappear. These can also be vaporised with CO2 laser.

Skin cancers-these are treated as a matter of urgency and treatment is available on the NHS. Laser therapy is not standard of care for skin cancers and we do not recommend it.

Following on from the last article both mothers have now been released back into the wild. Their hoglets are now juveniles and independent and have all been separated - some might even get up to release weight before the winter sets in. As fast as they are released new ones arrive and all the huts are full.

One case is Stef who has been involved in some kind of accident. Her spines are laying flat & unfortunately she has a front foot injury which she is unable to walk on. She has an appointment at the vets tomorrow - fingers crossed it’s not broken and she doesn't have to have an amputation. I will let you know how she gets on next time.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Last time I mentioned the guidelines set out by Cats Protection regarding the size of pens we use for the cats in care. One of the reasons for this is to ensure the cats have enough space to express their natural behaviours. All our pens have a separate area for sleeping and sitting and another area which will contain space for the cats and kittens to eat, drink and play. Their litter trays are placed in a quiet corner away from their food and water bowls to ensure they have a certain amount of privacy for toileting. The guidelines also indicate that multi-cat enclosures where domestic cats are allowed to mix, do not meet the cats’ behavioural needs. They also state that feral cats should only be confined for a minimal time for neutering and minor health issues to be resolved and should never be in care for prolonged periods as it can cause the cats considerable mental distress. This is one of the reasons why we are happy to help with the cost of neutering feral colonies but cannot take them into care.

Another reason for keeping the cats separate is to make sure there is no risk of cross infection between the cats while in our care and the importance of this proved obvious when a recent stray came into our care. Octopussy had been taken to Westover Vets as he had been found wandering out in the countryside and with no owner claiming him, he was signed over to us. On arrival he was sneezing continuously so was placed in a pen which was not attached in any way to the other pens and had been given an antibiotic injection to try to clear the infection. As an entire male he would normally have been neutered once we were sure that he had not been reported as lost, but because of the sneezing he had two further antibiotic injections before the decision was made to go ahead with the operation and also to take swabs from his nose to identify what was causing the problem. The results of the swab indicated that he had a bacterial called, Bordetella (the cause of kennel cough in dogs) and a different antibiotic was then given. Bordetella is very infectious

and can be passed on quite easily, which vindicates Cats Protection policy for not mixing cats. Because he had been the last in the line for feeding and cleaning, the chances of the infection being passed to other cats had been limited and no other cat has been infected. Octopussy is one of the friendliest cats we Octopussy enjoyed his visit have in care and very to the vets for his operation popular with all who have met him. When he had his operation, he took over the surgery and received lots of cuddles from all the staff there. As he is now in good health, he is ready to find a new home. This will need to be as the only cat with someone willing and able to give him lots of attention as he is so affectionate.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for 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.

GP Surgeries open their doors to offer the flu vaccination GP surgeries across Norfolk and Waveney are gearing up to provide special clinics to offer patients their annual flu jab.

Children aged between 2 and 10 years old will be offered the nasal spray vaccination. The adult flu vaccine is offered free to those in groups at particular risk of infection and complications from flu.

the groups being offered the adult flu vaccine are: • Pregnant women • those aged 65 or over • those aged under 65 with longterm conditions • Carers

GPs are asking their patients to book a place in forthcoming flu clinics as soon as they are advertised. Alternatively, you can visit your nearest participating pharmacy.

GP surgeries are also testing atrial fibrillation in patients over the age of 65. Although flu

vaccinations are available from other outlets it is only GP surgeries who are offering the additional check for abnormal heart rates at the same time.

In addition to the atrial fibrillation and flu vaccination applicable patients are able to receive Pneumococcal vaccines protecting patients against the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. The vaccine can prevent some cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. A pneumococcal infection can affect anyone. However, some people are at higher risk of serious illness and can be given the pneumococcal vaccination on the NHS.

Dr Anoop Dhesi, Chair of North Norfolk CCG and Partner at Stalham Staithe GP Surgery said: “Flu can be incredibly unpleasant for many people but for a select few it can be fatal. The best way for people to protect themselves and loved ones around them is to get the vaccination on offer especially those offered it for free on the NHS.”

Dr Louise Smith, Director of Public Health said: “If you have a bad cold or the flu, you are best to manage your illness from home, without seeing a doctor or visiting a hospital. You shouldn’t need to see your GP unless the symptoms become particularly severe, last far longer than usual or if you have a long-term health condition. If you think you might be suffering from flu and are concerned that your symptoms are worsening you can call NHS 111 for advice.”

A previous pilot programme showed vaccinating children had dual benefit; as well as protecting them from flu, it also protects others, such as parents, grandparents and siblings, as children are ‘super spreaders’ and are much more likely to infect others.

If you are not amongst the eligible categories to receive a flu vaccination free of charge on the NHS, please consider visiting a local pharmacy for the vaccine in order to protect yourself and your family this winter.

Horsey walk for autumn migrants on 19 october 9am – 1.30pm

info@woodlandsbowls.co.uk www.woodlandsindoorbowlsclub.co.uk

- we plan to walk along the coast, with a loop inland to Horsey Mere and Brograve Mill, looking for autumn migrants and early winter visitors.

Meet at the car-park at Horsey Gap (the car park for visiting the seal colony, TG463241, nearest postcode NR29 4EQ). To reach the car park leave the A149 coast road at the sharp right-hand (coming from the Happisburgh direction) bend at TG460236, and drive towards the coast along a track for a couple of hundred metres. In autumn the car park is usually unmanned and parking free. From the car-park we will head south-east by the coastal dunes, turn inland along the Nelson Head track and continue to Horsey Mill, where there are facilities. We will then walk around the edge of the mere to Brograve Mill, before looping back to the Horsey Gap car park. This is a longish walk (several miles), a short section of which is along the road, but it offers a nice range of habitats. This is a return visit to an area NENBC last visited in 2017, when we found a very creditable 55 species.

As always with autumn, the potential birds depend very much on the prevailing winds and weather. A telescope is useful if you have one. This area is very exposed and can be bitterly cold in winter, so good footwear and clothing is a must. Children are welcome if accompanied by well-behaved adults, but we regret no dogs. To keep the Club's carbon footprint small, please consider car sharing. Leader Andy Clarke.
