Chocolate Cake

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support takes place next month with many events both big and small taking place nationally and locally. Money raised not only goes towards funds to provide support for those suffering from cancer but also to those around them.

Did you know that if you hold a Coffee Morning and the money is paid into the Macmillan Cancer Support North Norfolk Bank Account then the money is ring-fenced to be spent in North Norfolk?

If you would like the proceeds of your Coffee Morning - or any other fundraising event that you are holding for Macmillan - to stay in North Norfolk, please contact Diane Evans 01263 823889 or diane@opengolfclubcompettions.co.uk for more information. Thank you for supporting Macmillan.

Stuck for a recipe for your coffee morning? Try this delicious suggestion :Rich Chocolate Cake Ingredients.

50g sifted cocoa powder

6 tablespoons of boiling water 3 large eggs 50mls of whole milk 175g self raising flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 100g softened butter 275g caster sugar For the icing 150g plain chocolate (39% cocoa solids) 150mls of double cream.

Preheat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/Gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm/8in sandwich tins and line the bases.

Blend the cocoa and boiling water together; add the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate and cream, and beat until mixture is smooth and thick. Divide the mixture between the two tins and level the mixture. Bake in the oven on the middle shelf for 25-30 minutes until well risen and springy to the touch. Leave to cool in the tins for a few minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack and peel off the lining paper and leave until cold.

Make the filling and icing by breaking the chocolate into squares into a heat proof bowl and adding the cream,

Cromer found fame for its sandy beach, but a rocky choir might see the soul put back in the British seaside

A 100 person clan of Norfolk residents prancing around the outskirts of Norwich, clad in leather jackets and singing their hearts out is not an image immediately conjured when painting a picture of the local area.

However, if you happen to peek behind the scenes of Invidia Voices, a growing choir currently based around Norfolk, you might happen upon some of the group of choir goers filming for their upcoming music video! The choir are filming a music video in an original arrangement based on the song ‘Happy’. This is a chance for the choir goers to feel like stars and show us all what they are made of in the process. The finished video shall be published online and the group plan to donate to Children in Need from any proceeds.

Good news for all interested readers as the choir has relocated one of its weekly classes from West Runton to Cromer! There are no auditions and the group’s philosophy is fun! If you enjoy a good ol’ sing-a-long, are keen for karaoke or are just intrigued, book yourself in for a one of two free taster sessions at Cromer Methodist Church!

For more details go to their website www.invidiavoices.co.uk or call 01603 464532 to book on to your free taster sessions.

set over a saucepan of gently simmering water to melt together stirring constantly until completely smooth. (Do not allow the bowl to touch the simmering water). Allow to cool until it reaches a spreading consistency.

Sandwich the sponges together with some of the icing and spread the remainder on the top of the cake.

How you relate to and communicate with other people can have far reaching consequences, positive or negative - personally, socially and professionally.

How good are your speaking, listening, presentation or leadership skills?

Did you know that learning to speak in front of an audience is one of the best ways to increase personal and professional confidence and improve communication skills?

The good news! - Anyone can learn to speak in front of an audience, given expert help in a friendly, fun and supportive environment!

people join the club for a variety of reasons - perhaps to meet new friends; to learn new skills; for personal or professional development; or to prepare and practise that all important wedding or special occasion speech.

Stuart, President of North Norfolk Speakers Club has fulfilled a lifelong ambition to deliver stand-up comedy, as well as developing the professional and leadership skills required in his work.

"Joining NNSC was one of the best things I've ever done and it's had a very positive impact', he said.

Windsurfer rescued by Cromer RNLI

A request was made to launch Cromer’s inshore lifeboat at 1.45 pm on 18 August to give assistance to a windsurfer in difficulties off the east beach.

Initially the lifeguards on the east beach had seen the windsurfer waving after he had capsized. They alerted the UK Coastguard who in turn requested Cromer’s lifeboat the George and Muriel be launched.

The crew were very quickly on scene and after assessing the windsurfer did not have any injuries, they took the person on board and went to the east beach to land them.

By 2.30pm, the George and Muriel had been cleaned down, refuelled and rehoused ready for its next call out.

Cromer Times 525 September 2nd 2017

A Walk Alone

Victoria Mansbridge grew up in the Midlands, where her family and friends are all based and where she met her husband “but my husband and I always harboured a dream of living by the sea. About 14 years ago we were out for a walk one evening and we thought 'if we don't do this now, we never will!' we'd run out of excuses not to...so we packed our bags, sold the house and headed for the coast. Originally, we moved to Wales, transferring over to Norfolk around 13 years ago. We love this area, we love the sea, the countryside, the great big skies and how friendly everyone is.

Ever since I was little I’ve been writing short stories and little pieces here and there – I always dreamed of one day having a novel published.

I actually wrote A Walk Alone over 10 years ago...it took me a long time to build up the courage to let anyone else read it. Now it is being published, I'm so happy and excited. Jarrold has very kindly agreed to stock the book - walking into the shop and seeing it on the shelf will be a lifelong dream come true!

A Walk Alone is about Emma, a woman struggling with a guilt that should not be hers. She is trapped in her own misplaced culpability and the book explores the choices she makes based on the path she has put herself on”.

As mentioned above, the book is available at Jarrold, Amazon...and all good bookstores.

WHY CHOOSE WHY CHOOSE SILVER & WARD WARD SILVER SOLICITORS SOLICITORS in in 2017?

20 17 ?

“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 for 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.

Visions of Vienna

The concert, presents the men and boys’ choir of St Nicholas, North Walsham - the last amateur men and boys’ choir in Norfolk - in an exciting and varied programme of music, with a first half built around two of the pillars of classical music Franz Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then a second half featuring compositions across the breadth of English composition over the centuries.

There is guaranteed to be something for all tastes, whether a fan of classical music, choral singing or experiencing it for one the first times.

The ‘Little Organ Mass’ by Joseph Haydn is particularly renowned for its beautiful ‘Benedictus’ solo, which is normally sung by a solo soprano but in this concert will be sung by the boys line en-masse, adding a delicate beauty to it.

The concert is accompanied by Matthew Bond and directed once again by David Ballard who has now been Director of Music at St Nicholas since 2012 and currently oversees

the choir of 18 boys and 14 men.

It is an exciting time for the church, with visits to Leicester and Norwich Cathedrals planned in 2018, and advanced plans for the formation of a separate singing line for girl choristers in January 2017, meaning that all youngsters in North Walsham and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to participate in high quality music making for free.

Admission is £7 for adults, and under 16s are free. Refreshments will be available, and all proceeds from the concert go towards funding the choir’s future activities.

September at the Museum of the Broads

There’s still time to plan a visit to the Museum before the end of the school holidays, or later in September when it’s that bit quieter.

We are open Sunday to Friday 10am to 4.30pm and Saturday 10am to 1pm. Take a steam boat river trip Tuesday to Thursday on our steam boat, Falcon.

You can visit the Museum for FREE during the Heritage Open Days weekend, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September.

Falcon will be running (£3.50 and £2.50) and we’ll also have the Wherry Yacht, Norada, to climb aboard, courtesy of the Wherry Yacht Charter Trust.

The Museum celebrates 21years of bringing the story of the Broads alive in 2017. There’s the special exhibition, ‘Broadland in Pictures’ with work by local artists. We have some magnificent prizes in our 21st birthday raffle, so buy a ticket and support our Heritage site. Look out for the souvenir magazine too!

cld a txt bcom ur will?

Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr Let me translate: Could a text become your Will?

Recent headlines have indicated that people will be able to use voicemail and text message to make their Wills, under a radical overhaul of law proposed by the Government’s legal advisors.

The Law Commission has branded the current system of Will-making as ‘outdated’ and recommends that it be revolutionised to keep up with the digital age. At present, to be valid a Will must be signed by the testator (the person making the Will) in the presence of two witnesses, who are all together at the time and also sign the Will.

The new proposals would allow a judge to decide, on the balance of probabilities, whether a recording or a note is an accurate summary of the deceased person’s wishes. Even deathbed changes of heart could be recorded and used to override an existing valid will.

This sounds like a heyday for contentious probate lawyers!

However, like all such things, it is not quite as it first appears. The consultation document argues that this should apply not only to traditional written documents, but also where testators express their testamentary intentions

in an electronic format, as well as in an audio or audio-visual recording.

The Law Commission admits that these proposed changes could increase family arguments as relatives trawl through their departed loved-one’s technology for evidence of a change of mind to their benefit.

The consultation adds that: “A person who is seriously ill in hospital may have more immediate access to a tablet or smartphone than to a pen or paper, and may be more able to speak than to write. On the other hand, the potential recognition of electronic documents could prove a treasure trove for dissatisfied relatives. They may be tempted to sift through a huge number of texts, emails and other records in order to find one that could be put forward as a will on the basis of a dispensing power.”

These powers already exist in Australia, Canada, South Africa and several US states.

In the wake of these announcements, caution has been urged both by lawyers and olderperson’s special-interest groups amid concerns that the elderly and vulnerable could be even more subject to undue influence. Questions of updating tests as to mental capacity have also been raised by replacing current Victorian-era law with the principles of the modern Mental

Capacity Act.

One thing is certain, however, that the hasty and ill-judged making of a Will can only cause distress, cost and delay for those left to sort it out. It is not the preparation of the document that is the main cost of a professionally-drawn Will but the benefit of knowledge, experience, attention-to-detail and professional indemnity insurance.

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.

If you would like further advice on this matter please contact Miranda on 01328 710210. If you require advice on any other legal matter please call our Sheringham office on 01263 825959 or email law@hayes-storr.com.

Bittern Line 20th Anniversary An organisation that promotes a Norfolk railway line celebrated its 20th anniversary by holding a week long series of events.

The Bittern Line Community Rail Partnership CRP), which helps to promote and develop the Norwich to Sheringham rail line, celebrated its 20th anniversary with special events, including live music, guided walks and craft sessions. More celebrations are planned for later in the year, too.

Over the last 20 years, the CRP has played an invaluable role in supporting and developing projects to promote the line, build community links, improve station facilities and upgrade train services.

As a result, passenger journeys on the line have more than tripled since 1997 from around 200,000 journeys a year to more than 600,000 journeys a year.

Jonathan Denby, Head of Corporate Affairs for Greater Anglia said “We’re very pleased to be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Bittern Line Community Rail Partnership. The CRP has been a great success, working closely with successive train operators to help promote and develop the Norwich to Sheringham line. Its proactive support has strengthened local links and has helped to increase passenger journeys on the line over the last two decades. With the prospect of brand new, high quality trains in 2019/20, there are great opportunities for the CRP to help the line continue to thrive, to the benefit of both customers and local communities.”

Peter Mayne, Chairman of the Bittern Line CRP said "We are hugely proud and excited to be celebrating

01692 405301

ND ME M CO RE

our 20th birthday. 50 years after closure of the line was contemplated, the Partnership, with support from the communities we serve, has ensured that the line has gone from strength to strength. “This is an opportune time for rail travel between Norwich and Sheringham with a growing population in towns and villages along the route and brand new longer trains arriving shortly."

The Bittern Line CRP was launched in 1997, as part of a joint initiative between Anglia Railways and Norfolk County Council, aimed at revitalising the important rail link between Norwich and the North Norfolk coast.

It has also helped successive train operators to significantly increase service frequency on weekday afternoons, evenings and at weekends, provide additional station facilities such as ticket machines, customer information screens and cycle parking and enhance community links, with additional capacity for special events and better coordination for Paston College students.

The line is set to benefit from significant investment during Greater Anglia’s nine year franchise. The operator plans to introduce a complete new fleet of trains in 2019/20, with more seats, air conditioning, wi-fi and plug points.

Greater Anglia also plans to install ticket machines at all stations on the route, providing even more opportunities to encourage rail travel and support tourism and the local economy.

as part of its new franchise, whilst the CRP also benefits from support from local authorities including Norfolk County Council, Broadland District Council and North Norfolk District Council.

The CRP also works closely with attractions along the route including the Bure Valley Railway and the North Norfolk Railway and connects with the Coast Hopper bus service to make public transport a convenient option for many journeys in North Norfolk.

‘Our Day Out’ Gives Older People Time to Shine

‘Our Day Out’, the fortnightly dementiafriendly workshop project, continues to push forward with a wide range of free activities to engage older people across the Norfolk area.

Delivered by professionally trained arts practitioners, musicians and dancers, the project is run by arts and community development charity Creative Arts East, with special funding from Spirit of 2012.

The sessions welcome all older people, and are also supportive of those living with early to mid-stage dementia (and their carers), as well as older people living with long-term health conditions, or those who feel isolated within their community. The ‘Our Day Out’ groups are based in Attleborough, Watton, Dereham, Thetford, North Walsham and Wells. The sessions are tailored so that they are accessible and beneficial for everyone to experience something new, in a safe and friendly environment.

So far in 2017, the groups have been enjoying making-music by combining electronic and acoustic instruments with Paul and Les, as well as creating uplifting songs and lyrics to some fantastic beats with Joe and Carl. The groups have also been enjoying some fun and entertaining dance sessions with Green Candle and Glass House Dance Company, specially devised to benefit and engage the whole body with gentle exercise.

These are some recent comments from people who have been to the ‘Our Day Out’ sessions :

“Why didn’t anyone tell me this was this much fun when I was younger!”

“I enjoy being in the company of younger people at the sessions because I don’t get the chance nowadays”

‘Our Day Out’ sessions are all about having fun and feeling good afterwards, and Creative Arts East are keen to hear from older people who would like to join these friendly and inclusive creative activities. There are also opportunities for people who would like to become involved as volunteers, and help someone smile this summer.

In September, the groups will be taking part in some special ‘love themed’ Tea Dance events with Spilt Milk Dance Company and which will involve arts and crafts, cake, dance performances, games, and (optional) fancy dress! Friends and family of those coming along are most welcome too!

For more information on the sessions or any of the ‘Our Day Out’ groups, please contact Lea Schiller at Creative Arts East on 01953 713390

Protecting your dog against Ticks this year

product chosen. Many of the most effective treatments can only be prescribed by a veterinary surgeon and so we would advise contacting your vet to discuss the most suitable treatment for your pet. At Toll Barn Vets, North Walsham, we understand that choosing the correct flea and tick protection for your pet is a minefield and so offer our clients free of charge parasite protection consultations with our qualified veterinary nurses to enable us to formulate the perfect parasite prevention program for your pet.

East Anglia is a beautiful area, however, it is also an area classified as “high risk” for ticks. Ticks are most active between mid-March and October, however, with changes in the climate they are becoming active for longer. The most frequently seen tick is the sheep tick although the hedgehog and fox ticks may also make an appearance. All of these species of tick will feed on dogs, cats and humans.

Ticks are unable to jump or fly and travel by climbing on vegetation such as long grass and then waiting for a suitable host to pass by. They attach to this host using their hooked front legs. Following attachment, ticks will spend time choosing a suitable feeding site before attaching to feed via their mouth parts. As ticks take time to attach the act of brushing pets following a walk can reduce the number of ticks actually attaching. Tick bites are usually painless and attaching ticks are often as small as 1.5mm and will increase to the size of a pea after feeding. Not all ticks carry disease, but for infected ticks the action of attaching allows them to transmit diseases such as lymes disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis and rickettsiosis to the host. The risk of infection transmission increases the longer the tick is attached to the host.

Ticks found on your pet should be removed as soon as possible using a tick remover to ensure that the mouth parts do not remain within the skin once the body of the tick is removed. At Toll Barn Vets tick removal is one of our free of charge procedures for our clients to help keep your pets in tip top condition.

How can we protect our pets?

In order to reduce the spread of tick borne disease we recommend regular tick prevention treatments. These come in the form of tablets, collars and spot-on preparations and will usually kill ticks within 12-24 hours of attachment and last for between four and 12 weeks depending on the

The Tick Tick List!

• Ensure pets are treated regularly with an effective tick treatment as per manufacturers guidelines • Brush or wash pets after walks to remove unattached ticks • Check pets thoroughly daily and contact your vet if any attached ticks are found • Remove any attached ticks as soon as possible after finding them

Don’t forget, we are here to help so if you are battling with keeping your pet tick free this year please give the Toll Barn Vets team a call on 01692 407126.

Hedgehog Haven

Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals - they only come out during the day if there is a problem unless it seems to have a purpose and is going somewhere.

Second litters are now being born, so an active hedgehog could be a sign of a mother out foraging while her hoglets are asleep.

If in doubt please ring a rescue centre or BHPS for advice.

NENBC SEAWATCH

Following a sea bird identification workshop held in July in preparation for our co-ordinated seawatch events being held in August and October; members took part in the first event.

Teams from the North East Norfolk Bird Club set up at Weybourne, W Runton, Cromer, Sheringham, Mundesley and Happisburgh to record all passing sea birds in a 3 hour period.

Team Weybourne 08/08/17:

Our team of Alan, Tina, Anthony, Pete & Sue, and me assembled at the entrance to Weybourne Camp at 6am. By 6.15 we were all set up, sitting on an elevated section just behind the coastal footpath with our ‘scopes ready to scan the vast expanse of the North Sea. Keeping an eye on a large and threatening black cloud that was drifting towards us from the north, we began to count the passing birds offshore. The birds of the day were clearly going to be Gannets with no less than 33 flying west in the first ten minutes, and a final three-hour total of just under 300. Common Scoters were the second most numerous species, although most were passing several miles offshore. Waders were very scarce and the highlights were four Little Gulls and an adult Hobby. The expected rain never materialized and after the requisite three hours of seawatching, we took a walk around the camp and were delighted to find a juvenile Black Redstart and Cuckoo, while four Black-tailed Godwits flying east were a bonus. All in all, a most enjoyable and rewarding morning. Moss

Team Mundesley 08/08/17:

It was raining hard when we packed the car at 5.00am with no wind. We collected our dear friend Gordon on time and arrived early at our site in the beachfront shelter at Mundesley. After unpacking the car-boot cafe and equipment, we pondered the most interesting birds arriving before the 6.30am start. Denise and Alan arrived on cue and the gannet-fest began and all sharp eyes remained peeled throughout, although I abandoned my post for the car park top-up, the loos next door and then was accosted by the cafe owner to know what we were doing; 7 minutes in all! Our newest recruit, Denise, called the two darker looking birds coming right low over the water close to two terns; our only arctic skuas of the morning as it turned out; top spot. Whilst we had all been admiring the cloud formations, which were quite spectacular at times; four grey herons caused quite a stir as we did not see exactly where they came from. The morning sped by with observation of the passing vessels becoming part of the enjoyment, when the birds were absent. All agreed it was an enjoyable sea watch, with Denise and Alan saying they will be back in October for the next one. My only disappointment was that nobody finished the freshly baked cheese scones but thanks to all involved. Lin

North Norfolk District Council hosts its latest art exhibition

Inspired by Norfolk collection by local photographer goes on show to the public

North Norfolk District Council’s public art gallery is pleased to welcome local photographer Paul Macro, who is displaying a collection of his pictures at the council’s Cromer HQ.T

The Inspired by Norfolk exhibition highlights the sights of the Norfolk coast with its dark winter skies, rough seas and fiery sunsets.

“The sights, sounds and smells of the Norfolk coast are woven into my soul and my happy childhood is a bright tapestry of memories,” Paul said.

“I’m a Norfolk man, born and brought up in Norwich, and seaside holidays at Burnham Overy Staithe played an important part in my childhood. Several times a year, at all times of the year, my family spent holidays and weekends in our caravan, where the beauty of Norfolk’s unspoiled beaches and wide skies provided the backdrop to our other world, where there was peace and contentment and sibling harmony.

My passion for Norfolk’s dark winter skies and rough seas, fiery sunsets and tough, wind-slapped greenery was born from an early exposure to these beauties – before I knew they were beautiful.”

All our vehicles are sold with full 12 months MOT, 3 months warranty, serviced & valeted.

Paul is proud that his work has helped local charities, and he has received orders for his charity calendars from every continent. The RNLI, Nelson’s Journey, Break and Red Balloon are amongst the charities that have benefited from his support.

“My life has been shaped by the landscape and the people of Norfolk and this is my way of giving a little bit back,” he said.

Cllr Maggie Prior, NNDC Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture, said “This is another fantastic display, and it’s lovely to see our exhibition space being used for such wonderful work. Paul brilliantly combines his natural skill and the wonderful Norfolk landscapes in his work. Do come and see Paul’s exhibition – and if you are an artist yourself, why not apply to show your work in our gallery?”

The exhibition runs until 13 September at the NNDC offices gallery in Holt Road, Cromer.

The 1st Floor Gallery is open to the public at 8.30am-5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays; at 10am-5pm on Wednesdays; and at 8.30am4.30pm on Fridays.

NNDC seeks to offer free opportunities to local artists to display their work in the well-lit gallery, and in turn provides staff and visitors to the building the opportunity to see a variety of artists’ work. Six exhibitions are held annually.

Any inquiries about the pictures, which are for sale, should be made to Paul through his website at www.paulmacrolandscapes.com, via info@paulmacro.com or by calling 07727 644092.

Free singing workshops starting in Sheringham September Mondays 2pm to 3.30pm at The Lighthouse, Sheringham from 11 September Following a very successful programme of taster sessions across North Norfolk earlier this year, Sing Your Heart Out (SYHO) will be starting a new SYHO North group in September at Lighthouse, Sheringham.

SYHO is NOT a choir! The singing workshops are drop-in sessions to promote good mental health and well-being, and are open to anyone over 18 who likes the idea of singing in a group. Singing with others really lifts the spirits. People with experience of mental health problems and challenges are always especially welcome.

Refreshments - including - chocolate biscuits! - are provided, and the sessions are free of charge, although donations are welcome.

These award winning workshops have been running for 12 years, first in Norwich, then expanding to Attleborough, Kings Lynn and Great Yarmouth.

Now people in North Norfolk also have a chance to benefit from what SYHO offers.

SYHO is run by volunteers but the sessions are led by experienced, professional voice coaches used to working with varied groups in a community setting. You don’t need to have a good voice or be able to read

The environment is very nice and you will receive a friendly welcome. Bowls, darts and snooker are also on offer. We have held all our meetings there for over six years plus social events.

Events this year will have included four days at the Cromer Carnival with children’s games and a Tombola.

Apart from up and coming collections we will be manning the Car Park at Mannington Hall on 3 September to assist Lord and Lady Walpole with their Charity Day. On Tuesday 26 September there will be a Fashion Show at M&Co, Church Street, Cromer. Tickets are £5 per person and will be available on the night and will include a complementary drink. This is a popular event, so make a note in your diary to join us and help raise some money.

We are also holding a Festival of Choirs in St. Peter’s Church, Sheringham at 7 pm on 11 November, which is Armistice Day. Refreshments will be provided and proceeds from ticket sales (£5 per person) will go to this year’s President’s charity of choice the British Heart Foundation.

We have events planned before Christmas and watch this space as we have lots of fun new ideas for fund raising for 2018.

A 100 person clan of Norfolk residents prancing around the outskirts of Norwich, clad in leather jackets and singing their hearts out is not an image immediately conjured when painting a picture of the local area...

However, if you happen to peak behind the scenes of Invidia Voices, a growing choir currently based around Norfolk, you might happen upon some of the choir goers filming for their upcoming music video! The choir are filming a music video in an original arrangement based on the song ‘Happy’. This is a chance for the choir goers to feel like stars and show us all what they are made of in the process. The finished video shall be published online and the group plan to donate to Children in 22

Need from any proceeds.

Good news for all interested readers as the choir runs a weekly group in North Walsham on a Monday evening. There are no auditions and the group’s philosophy is fun!

Cley Calling – Autumn Colours

Enjoy autumn’s glowing displays of colour at Cley Marshes this October

This autumn, you can explore North Norfolk’s colourful coastal landscape and culture as part of NWT’s Cley Calling Autumn Colours festival, which coincides with the beginning of the Norfolk Walking & Cycling Festival.

From Thursday 5 October to Sunday 8 October, a variety of creative art workshops, guided walks and health and wellbeing events will be hosted at Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Cley Marshes to create a festival full of autumnal celebrations.

Some of the highlights of the festival include:

• Thursday 5 October - Sunday 8 October – Live Street Art : Throughout Autumn Colours, nationally renowned street artist ATM will be creating a large-scale mural of an iconic Cley bird. His expertise lies in painting endangered species, most commonly birds, in urban environments in order to urge humans to connect with nature.

Everyone is invited to come along to NWT Cley Marshes to see street art in action and watch the bird transform over time.

• Thursday 5 October – Coastal Stroll with Jules Pretty : Tying in with Norfolk’s walking festival, well-known nature writer and coastal walker Jules Pretty is leading an exclusive and intimate guided walk along a stretch of north Norfolk’s stunning coastline. Guests will have the opportunity to see the sky’s very own palette of colours as the sun sets over the marsh whilst they have their supper, followed by hearing Jules tell the tale of his walking adventure along the East Anglian bulge.

• Friday 6 October – Does Nature Make You Happy?

Laurie Parma will be discussing her research into the relationship between well-being and biodiversity. She is currently working at the University of Cambridge on a project with the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, in which they have developed a new smartphone app ‘NatureBuzz’, which aims to capture the relationship between human well-being and the environment.

For more information, prices and to book tickets call the NWT Centre at Cley on 01263 740008 or visit www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/ whats-on/interests/cley-calling.

Other highlights for the coming months include:

A magical musical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;road tripâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; panto is the highlight of Sheringham Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly-released winter line-up.

â&#x20AC;˘ Joan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 25 October â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a piece of anarchic cabaret which retells the story of Joan of Arc- with drag King Lucy Jane Parkinson not only playing gutsy gender warrior Joan but also the many men she defies.

A professional cast will chart the colourful tale of The Wizard of Oz, headed by Hana Steward in the lead role of Dorothy.

Hana, 22, from Wimbledon, has family in Sheringham and visited the Little Theatre as a child.

â&#x20AC;˘ Ealing Comedy Film Season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 28 February to 3 March â&#x20AC;&#x201C; five classic comedy films to brighten the winter with timeless laughs in a mix of matinee and evening screenings. The Lavender Hill Mob, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Passport to Pimlico. Man in the White Suit and Whisky Galore are laced with stars such as Alex Guinness, Stanley Holloway, Sid James, and Margaret Rutherford.

She said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the panto one Christmas, so appearing in the show feels so special to me.

I cannot wait to spend this Christmas in Kansas!â&#x20AC;?

Munchkin children are being drawn from local dance schools, and auditions will be held in early September for the chorus line of farmhands and villagers encountered as the classic adventure follows the Yellow Brick Road.

Theatre director Debbie Thompson said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Oz is such a lovely story, but is not a regular traditional panto â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so we look forward to doing something just a little bit different.â&#x20AC;?

There would be surprises, special effects, a mix of modern and traditional songs, and a double dose of dames, during the shows which run from 9 December to 1 January, she added.

Pupils given the chance to benefit from top-class sports coaching North Norfolk District Council-funded scheme aims to build on last year’s fantastic success

Parents of children preparing to start secondary school are being encouraged to put forward nominations for a sporting excellence programme in North Norfolk.

Last year’s inaugural Sporting Centre of Excellence scheme proved to be a great success, and North Norfolk District Council is funding the project once again this September.

The aim is to recruit young people who have the potential to excel in a sport and give them an excellent coaching experience and the opportunity to achieve their sporting dreams. This year’s scheme will start at the beginning of the forthcoming academic year, with a focus on attracting Year 6 pupils starting high school.

The pilot in 2016 saw more than 70 youngsters, aged 11 to 14, attend 24 weeks of coaching at Gresham’s School, Holt. They were given specialist coaching across four sports - hockey, netball, cricket and running.

The success of the programme resulted in nine athletes being selected to

represent Norfolk in cross-country, a haul of medals at the Norfolk Track and Field Championships, three cricketers picked for county squad training sessions and hockey and netball players invited to join top clubs. All the district’s secondary schools were represented and, perhaps most importantly, all the children who took part in the scheme showed improvement.

Cllr Maggie Prior, North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet Member for Sport & Leisure, said “Last year was a great success, both individually and collectively. The experts at Sport England said it was innovative and demonstrated good practice, and that sort of praise from the experts shows just what a great initiative it is.”

Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of NNDC, said “The Sporting Centre of Excellence scheme has highlighted the need to deliver high-quality sports coaching to the young people of North Norfolk, and we hope as many parents as possible will nominate their children to benefit from this fantastic opportunity in 2017.”

To nominate your child to take part in the selection trials, please contact Wyn Nurse on 01263 516035 or at wyn.nurse@north-norfolk.gov.uk

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

We are always very busy at this time of year with lots of kittens coming into care for various reasons. Whatever the reason, we try to help as it is important to make sure that they get safe and caring homes. It is also important to make sure that the new family are aware that they are making a commitment for the lifetime of the cat and that they could be responsible for its welfare for up to 20 years.

Sometimes people’s circumstances change and they cannot continue to care for their pet and, in these instances, we are only too happy to help as, when a cat is re-homed, we always advise them to contact us if, for whatever reason, they are no longer able to look after their cat.

Most other cat charities we have contact with prefer to take a cat back into their care too. However, we are aware this does not always happen and a recent example occurred when Irene, one of our fosterers, was visiting the vets with one of our cats. A lady came

in with an older cat requesting that the cat be put to sleep as she did not want it. As Irene has been hoping to offer a home to an older pet, she was interested in taking the cat on and the lady, who was not the owner, kindly agreed to hand it over to us so that Irene could adopt it. On Dolly and Barnaby just waiting to checking the paperwork, we be chosen discovered it had only recently been re-homed by another charity and, on contacting them; they were horrified to learn what had happened. Like us, they would have been only too happy to take the cat back once they had a space.

When a cat is handed into our care that has previously been re-homed by another charity (or even another branch of Cats Protection) we always like to check up to make sure they are happy with the arrangement, and similarly, other charities and branches of Cats Protection contact us when a cat is handed into their care. Our main point of contact for Cats Protection locally is the Dereham Adoption Centre with whom we have shared many calls recently, mainly about re-homing kittens, but that is another story.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 it (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.

We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham.

Sink or Swim

How could I have let it all go? It was time to face the truth and stop the weight piling back on AGAIN...

Twelve years ago I moved to Norfolk with my husband, 4 year old son and 2 week old daughter. We had a new life, a new house and new baby, what could be better?

But, I wasn’t happy. I was five stone overweight and really fed up struggling to feel good about me.

I got focused and by the time my daughter was one I had lost 5 stone and I felt fantastic and a new woman. I went from a size 20 to a size 12 and enjoyed being able to buy clothes that looked good.

What went wrong? Well, I maintained my weight loss for 10 years but then I started to take the eye off the prize and slipped back into bad habits. I then went back to working in an office where I would sit for five hours a day and slowly, without noticing, I started to grow again. Some people might say ‘why didn’t I notice that I was slipping down the slope?’ but I didn’t. I started wearing more comfortable clothes that would stretch with me and that’s when it all started to go wrong, because you don’t notice the inches expanding wider and wider.

At the end of last summer, when the sun disappeared and so did the comfy dresses, I began to realise what I had ignored - ME.

I pulled out some of my winter work clothes and that’s when it hit me like a punch in the face. My trousers wouldn’t even zip up. At that very moment I felt like a cake that had been cooking all summer and turned into a very risen cake. Still with a little ignorance, I said to myself it must be the trousers so I went up to the next size. They did do up but if I moved or sat down they would have split, so up another size …

I just sat back on the bed and cried, I looked into my mirror and was very angry with myself. Why, after all that hard work, had I let it all go?

That feeling that I had had 12 years ago of feeling very low and unhappy had come back and I really didn’t want to be that person again.

I couldn’t face every day trying on clothes that were too tight and having the same battle every morning with myself so I got my husband to get me a large box and I emptied my wardrobe with any items that didn’t fit. I went out and bought a few items that were ok and would get me by without feeling too horrible. I was trying to keep positive and take action.

Now what? I was really battling with the devil on my shoulder having a go at me and making me feel like a failure, but I was doing all I could to keep my spirits up.

Then, opposite my house a Slimming World Club opened and every Wednesday, I would see all the members drive past my house and go in. This was a big battle for me - why you may ask? I really felt like a failure because I had done it and achieved my dreams, yet I let it all go. I should have known better but it just is not that easy. Other members out there will understand it’s not easy when life gets in the way and we have to battle with other issues/ situations that we have going on in our lives.

It took me all the courage I had to walk in and join again, but I did it, and everyone made me very welcome, and I started to feel better and that I was not alone.

That was 16 November and I never looked back. I made sure I gave myself that one hour a week for me and to focus on getting back that healthy lifestyle for good this time.

I reached my target weight one week after my

daughter’s 13th birthday so at the same time as 12 years ago I DID IT! 3stone 3lb lost, and did I feel amazing? Yes I did!

People asked ‘what’s the difference from last time’? Well, the answer is simply the Food Optimising Plan. It is a healthy eating plan and I have made it a way of life for me now and not a quick fix diet that only lasts for a short time.

I never feel hungry or that I am missing out because nothing tastes as good as being the new slimmer and healthier me.

I still enjoy and eat all my favourite foods like curries, full English breakfast and chocolate, but the difference is the way all the foods are cooked.

Recently I have got that big box of work clothes out from the loft and actually they still don’t fit me - because they are all too big!

I will never again wear stretchy clothes - apart from PJs, of course.

Another lifestyle change for me is that during my journey, I was so enthusiastic about the plan, and how, if you Food Optimise 100% you can still enjoy life and food, that I attended an opportunity event with Slimming World, went on the training and now, four months into being a Slimming World Consultant, I have given up my day job of nine years to concentrate on my Slimming World career, and to help others fight the demons that life brings and which throw us off track with our weight (which I understand so well because I have been on the journey and back again and have experienced the bumps along the way). I have finally found a career where I can make a difference to others, which is so important to me.

I relaunched my own group in Cromer in May and I am helping over 100 members achieve their dreams. In September, I am relaunching another group in Buxton/Badesfield to help many more overcome obesity and improve their lifestyles.

VACANCY FOR COuNCILLOR - A casual vacancy has arisen on Cromer

Fly tipper prosecuted with help of landowner Magistrates fined man £470 for two offences

A fly tipper was caught and prosecuted for two offences thanks to the combined efforts of a landowner and North Norfolk District Council.

The North Norfolk man was one of two individuals who drove to an area close to Northrepps Cottage, near Cromer, in July of last year.

They fly tipped a wardrobe and threw the wooden panels around the woodland. A CCTV camera installed by landowner Simon Gurney was triggered by the vehicle movement.

In August, one of the men returned to the same area after receiving a letter from the council asking him to come in for an interview under caution and covered the area with toilet roll.

Mr Gurney, who since 2007 has been managing a landscape restoration scheme in the area where the fly tipping happened, reinstating the Humphry Repton landscape of 1790, had put in the cameras due to a history of fly tipping on his land.

Annie Claussen-Reynolds, Cabinet Member for Waste and Environmental Services, said “Fly tipping on private land is a big issue and is a selfish act which can damage the environment. The Council is determined to tackle the problem and is hoping to work more closely with landowners on projects in hot spot fly tipping areas. We would encourage landowners to contact us if they have fly tipping issues on their land and we can work with them to find a solution.”

Mr Gurney said “Many landowners are suffering at the hands of fly tippers. As well as being unsightly, this crime can cost landowners lots of money in clear up costs. If fly tipped waste isn’t cleared up, landowners can be prosecuted under illegal storage of waste legislation – which is

Town Council. As there has been no call for an election, the vacancy will be filled by co-option. For further details please contact the Town Clerk.

CROMER CHRISTMAS EVENTS - We have already received numerous bookings from people wishing to book stalls at the Christmas Event on 2 December. We are also receiving enquiries in respect of the tree and nativity festival. Contact the Town Clerk for further info. We still need white sheets to decorate Santa’s Grotto. If anyone has any old sheets they can donate, contact the Town Clerk.

FLYING OF CROMER FLAG - Why not mark a special occasion by arranging to have the Cromer Flag flown from the flagpole outside Cromer Church. We charge a £25 fee all of which goes to the War Memorial Restoration Fund.

CROMER TWINNING ASSOCIATION Fish & Chip Quiz Night - 7pm - 07 October 2017 - Cromer Community Centre. Tickets £8 per person. Teams of 4.

Tickets from the Town Clerk Information on any meetings or matters arising can be obtained from the Town Clerk on 01263 512254.

obviously massively unfair. “By working with the local authority in this case we managed to get a positive result which shows fly tipping will not be tolerated in North Norfolk.”

The man who was prosecuted pleaded guilty to both offences when he appeared before magistrates in Norwich on 16 August. He was fined £120 for each offence, plus a victim surcharge of £30 and prosecution costs of £200 – a total of £470.

If you would like to report an area of concern please contact the Environmental Protection Team on 01263 516085.

Cromer Marrams Bowls Club Tales from the Bowling Green ...

Our Club activities have included the annual Gentlemen v Ladies competition and, on 12 August we had a light-hearted President's Day.

Whilst enjoying ourselves, our thoughts were with Peter Bird and his family and it was decided that monies raised at this event should go to one of the Peter's charities, so approximately £250 will go to The Epilepsy Society.

We had our Club Spoon Drive on Carnival Day, which was well supported by members with plenty of the general public watching both the bowling and the 'Red Arrows'. Our catering ladies, led by Janice, excelled themselves - a huge thank you to them.

Competitions : EBA and Federation Competitions have now been completed and a full report will appear in the next edition of the Cromer Times.

We still have two more games in the NANSA League.

We have a friendly game on 5 September against Loughborough Tourists - 7 rinks mixed - at home.

In-house competitions are now at the semi-finals stage and the finals will take place during the weekend Friday to Sunday 8 to 10 September with, fingers crossed, some support from the public.

Dear Margaret,

Once again, it was nice to see the marquee full of families enjoying a game of bingo with some going home with very nice cash prizes.

Despite the hard times some businesses are facing, we still had over 100 items donated for the raffle as well as quite a few from the general public, so a big thank you to those shopkeepers, traders, businesses and individuals from Cromer, Suffield Park and beyond for those prizes which enabled us to raise £1464 which will go in to the Carnival Fund.

The caller Jim lost his voice after a few games so his son Shane took over the calling – a big thank you to Shane for stepping in so we could all continue to enjoy the evening. Thanks also to all who sold tickets and sorted out the money on the night.

It was nice to have Phoebe, the Carnival Queen and some of her attendants there to draw the raffle.

Thanks to everyone for coming and supporting us and hope to see you all again next year.

Trevor & Valerie Pells, Jim & Janice Woolston
