GRAHAM ALLEN AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCEDNorth Norfolk District Council awards handed out

An innovative house in Heydon, near Saxthorpe, has won this year’s Graham Allen Award.The Graham Allen Award is presented annually by North Norfolk District Council to the project considered to make the most significant contribution to the built environment within the district. The results of the awards were announced today at North Norfolk District Council’s offices in Cromer. Previous winners have included the extension to Binham Priory, the refurbishment of the Gunton Arms on the edge of Thorpe Market and Hootz House at Pensthorpe Natural Park.This year’s overall winner was Wild Acres (left), on Holt Road, Heydon, which is owned by Robin and Carol Orrow. The project

architects were Chaplin Farrant, with Norfolk Pro Build working as the contractor. The project involved the demolition of a bungalow and the clever re-siting and building of a new four bedroomed home using crisp and contemporary architecture. It was praised by judges for its intelligent reaction to site context, topography and landscape setting; visual interest portrayed by the curved form; low lying position and shallow pitch ensuring a discreet presence; and sustainable technology including ground source heating.Cllr Sue Arnold, Cabinet Member for Planning, said: “The judging panel were blown away by the quality and innovation they saw on site and the use of an interesting mix of materials. Use of materials, careful design and a

sustainable approach have all been combined to create a stunning piece of contemporary design which has used site context to create unique qualities and identity.We would like to offer huge congratulations to all those involved in the Wild Acres project and also many thanks to all the other very high quality entries.”Martin Lewis, Director at Chaplin Farrant, said: “Wild Acres takes its design inspiration from its natural surroundings and aims to have a minimal impact on the site and further countryside.We are delighted that this ambition has not only been achieved, but has also been recognised via the Graham Allen Award and the comments and feedback from the judges.”Wild Acres also won the People’s Choice Award, which is determined by way of public vote during the Greenbuild weekend in early September. Greenbuild is NNDC’s annual green lifestyle event, held at Felbrigg Hall.

Other projects which won awards at today’s Graham Allen Awards ceremony at NNDC’s Cromer headquarters were:• Highly Commended - Thursford Castle, Thursford Road, Great Snoring (immediately above) , owned by Mr and Mrs Hickling. This scheme has created a genuinely unique piece of architectural design. Its bold vision for modern contemporary living has retained a strong element of conservation. The architects for this project were LSI Architects.• Commended - The Reading Rooms, Church Road, Alby (right), owned by Simon and Joanne Williams. This project has secured the long-term future of an important listed building, but has also created a new intimate wedding venue which many people will be able to enjoy and come together in celebration. The architects for this project were SMG Architects.For more information about the awards, see:www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/tasks/conservation/find-out-about-the-graham-allen-awards/

COUNTY COUNCIL NEWSfrom County Councillor Dr. Marie Strong

[email protected] or 07920 286 597 Dear Readers from the many parishes in my division who read the Chronicle. (I think the editor would be surprised how many of Wells divisional parishes get hold of a copy of the Chronicle!)Norfolk Coast Partnership: The Partnership has responsibilities with regard to Norfolk’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, similar to organisations such as the National Parks. The AONB includes the majority of parishes in the Wells Division. There are 84 county councillors and I am delighted that I have been asked to continue as one of the two county councillors on the Partnership’s Core Management Group.Foster Carers: There is a national shortage of foster carers and like other councils across the UK, Norfolk needs to recruit more people who can offer a loving and secure home to some of our most vulnerable children. The council is particularly keen to find carers for teenagers. There are just over a 1,000 looked after children in Norfolk with around a third aged between 13 and 16. A new video has been produced as part of the campaign showing how a foster carer changed one young person’s life. Watch ‘Change a life - foster in Norfolk’ at goo.gl/j6n9ew Fire Prevention in the Home and Work Place: We are all being reminded by Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service (NFRS) of the importance of ensuring fire doors are kept shut. We will not be surprised that fire doors have proved to reduce the risk of fires spreading and increase the chance of people evacuating a building quickly and safely - but they are no use if they are propped open. What is very useful, particularly for new businesses and holiday lets, is the offer of free ‘home’ fire risk checks to residents and commercial buildings. For tips on reducing the fire risk in your home or arranging a safety check visit bit.ly/2xhN9RV and information for businesses can be found here: bit.ly/2f1CQuV In Good Company: Local shops, pubs, parish councils and other community based organisations can still apply for the new In ‘Good Company Quality Mark’ which has been launched to recognise and reward the work they do to combat loneliness in Norfolk. I am sure there is no doubt that reducing social isolation in Norfolk’s communities is vital if more people can retain their independence and reduce the need for health care intervention. Applications can be made via an online form at www.norfolk.gov.uk/ingoodcompany where full details can be found. There is no deadline for applications and awards will be made quarterly, with the first round being made this Autumn. Successful recipients of the award will be able to show how they engage with those who may be feeling isolated, as well as actively publicising and promoting anti-loneliness events and encouraging staff to get involved too. (I know there are a good number of organisations in our villages who would be eligible for this award. Talk to me if you are interested.

EACH RELAUNCHES ‘BE A NAME IN OUR FRAME’

VOLUNTEER DRIVEEast Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has relaunched its Be a Name in our Frame campaign after it proved such a success earlier this year.The novel volunteer drive sees people add themselves to frames, such as the one pictured, by helping out at one of EACH’s 25 shops across the region.The charity relies heavily on volunteers to run its shops, which collectively raise more than £700,000 towards the vital care and support EACH provides for children with life-threatening conditions and their families. EACH’s shop in Station Road, Holt is looking for people to sort donations and steam crumpled clothes, particularly those available on Monday mornings, Wednesday afternoons and Fridays.Sylvia Levete currently helps at the Holt shop, greeting customers with professionalism and a smile. She said: “I enjoy helping to sort and price the books or I work on the till. We have a lovely team here at Holt and if anyone is considering volunteering, I hope they feel able to drop in and say hello.”Ian Nicolson, Head of Retail and Trading at EACH, said: “In total, we now have almost 800 volunteers of various different ages and backgrounds supporting our retail operation. They undertake a range of tasks and every single one of them is valued.”For both families accessing care and those who have been bereaved, EACH is a lifeline at an unimaginably difficult time. The charity has to generate 75% of the money it needs to operate and relies on public support to continue its service.To become a name in a frame at EACH in Holt, drop by or call Shop Manager Jill Gould on 01263 713864.

CCG MAKES DECISION THAT WILL KEEP ALL 18 BEDS AT BENJAMIN COURT, CROMER

Health leaders in North Norfolk have made a decision that will keep all 18 beds at Benjamin Court, Cromer, in use.NHS North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has voted to use the unit, for ‘re-ablement’. Re-ablement is short-term care to help people who are medically fit to leave hospital and receive further support before returning home. This would complement the home based re-ablement service already provided across Norfolk by Adult Social Services and help more people to stay at home.The proposal was made at the same time as a 12-week consultation on the future of Benjamin Court, run by the CCG. There were 84 responses received during the consultation and these were taken into account by the CCG’s Governing Body. The Governing Body approved the option at a public meeting on 26th September and will work with Norfolk County Council to implement this proposal in time to support with winter demand. The Governing Body recognised the original proposal included palliative care and other options and it was agreed that these were priorities the CCG would continue to explore ways of meeting.Dr Anoop Dhesi, Chair of NHS North Norfolk CCG, said: “Our public consultation allowed us to listen to the thoughts and views of the public and we are very grateful to all those who responded and gave us such valuable insights.We are very pleased that a further idea was proposed by our colleagues at Norfolk County Council. Using the beds for re-ablement will still help reduce pressure on hospitals and dovetail with our Supported Care service.”Bill Borrett, Chairman of the Adult Social Services Committee at Norfolk County Council, said: “We care about people who have had a stay in hospital and we understand that most of them want to be able to return home and live independently for as long as possible. Our re-ablement services allow that to happen by helping those who need some extra support for a short period of time.”North Norfolk CCG held a public consultation on the future of Benjamin Court because it does not require as many community hospital beds in North Norfolk. It has recently launched a new Supported Care service that helps people remain safe and well at home rather than need a hospital bed.The offer to use the beds for social care re-ablement would mean the community in Cromer and outlying area still has a local bed-based unit that helps get people back home from a spell in hospital, as soon as possible. Those who need a higher level of nursing care provided by the NHS after leaving hospital will still have beds available in Kelling or North Walsham community hospitals.Some of the options included in the consultation included additional voluntary/third sector services and the possibility of more outpatient clinics. These are options which remain possible either at Benjamin Court or elsewhere to serve the people of Cromer and North Norfolk.Whilst the County Council is keen to implement a solution in time for winter, a consultation period of up to 45 days may be needed with staff who currently work at the unit (and who are employed by Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust).

FUNNY/STRANGE FACTS! (Believe it or not!)Plutonium, first weighed on 20th August 1942, by University of Chicago scientists Glenn Seaborg and his colleagues, was the first man-made element.Sterling silver is not pure silver. Because pure silver is too soft to be used in most tableware it is mixed with copper in the proportion of 92.5 percent silver to 7.5 percent copper.A chip of silicon a quarter-inch square has the capacity of the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block.At a glance, the Celsius scale makes more sense than the Fahrenheit scale for temperature measuring. But its creator, Anders Celsius, was an oddball scientist. When he first developed his scale, he made freezing 100 degrees and boiling 0 degrees, or upside down. No one dared point this out to him, so fellow scientists waited until Celsius died to change the scale.Sloths take two weeks to digest their food.

SHERINGHAM BEACHLIFE OUTREACH ATTRACTS BUMPER CROWDS

The BeachLife activity outreach for children and young people on Sheringham cliff top and beach at the end of August was another great success, which attracted well over 200 children and young people. This was the sixth successive summer that BeachLife has

taken place and each year the event has built on the success of the previous years. It is a joint venture by the churches in Sheringham, aimed at engaging with local youngsters as well as

holidaymakers. Despite wet weather on one of the days, all the events took place as planned and there was a good deal of sunshine during the week.The activities each day included the ‘Beach Special’, where all ages came together at the cliff-top marquee on The Leas for music, games, drama and fun. There was also a family tide fight,

junk modelling, the egg parachute challenge, treasure hunts, giant inflatables, which included an assault course, demolition ball, and Sumo suits. Evening activities for young people included the return of the popular ‘Sheropoly’ trail around the town, beach games and swimming at the local Splash pool, all of which were well attended.Peter Skivington, one of the leaders, said: “We’ve had a fabulous week, with the opportunity to impact over 200 young lives with the message that Jesus loves them and cares about them. That has to be worth celebrating.”Next year’s event is now being planned but Sheringham youngsters will not have to wait until next summer to continue the fun, as the team are already planning for a Light Party on Tuesday 31st October and another ‘BeachLife Extra’ Fun Day on Friday 16th February during half term.

40s WEEKENDDear Caroline,Fie, Sir - you should be ashamed of yourself, Mr Stephen Marks. (Issue 384, 8th September 2017). To so passionately trash the whole idea of the 40s Weekend illustrates a stark lack of understanding of the full concept of remembrance, of which such events play a significant and important part.Yes, the 11th November is a time for reflection and remembering the heroism and selflessness of those who fought for our freedom which we cherish and enjoy. But remembrance embraces one other vital ingredient which contributed in no small way to our retaining that freedom, namely the British Spirit.I know it sounds corny, but it sums up that ability to make the best of things, enjoy what you’ve got and never give up. It’s a thread that ran through the whole population, whether fighting or supporting and one which could not be broken.THAT is what we celebrate, sir, not the glory of war but the subtle determination never to give up. It’s in our indigenous genetic build-up and long may it remain.Yours sincerely,John Mangan

40s WEEKENDDear Caroline,Given his view of WW2 Stephen Marks makes his own case that we should never forget these events whether we celebrate them with a 1940’s weekend or at a more sombre occasion. He mentions the Holocaust (six million Jews slaughtered) but atrocities committed by the Nazis and Japanese including Coventry, London blitz, Pearl Harbor, Burma, the destruction of Warsaw, etc, are not on his list to name a few of those committed by our then enemies. Yes, they are now our allies and long may this remain the case, but look back at this slaughter for many parallels with what is happening in the World today. Remembering WW2 is as important as ever if we are to avoid repeating these terrible events. To quote the humanist and pacifist, Aldous Huxley, “That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” Mr Marks claims that it is a commercial imperative which drives events like the 40’s weekend, so what, towns like Holt must look for ways to attract spending visitors if their retail and social infrastructure is to survive and a 40’s weekend for a good cause is as welcome as any. As the Chronicle makes clear, the charity ‘Walking with the Wounded’ was a major beneficiary of the

weekend, hopefully he will at least agree with this, given that from the end of WW2 up to August 2013 MoD figures show 7136 British Servicemen having died during conflict or whilst serving in a conflict theatre. The number of seriously wounded significantly exceeds these figures.No Mr Marks I am all for nostalgia in any form if it helps us remember that we do not want to repeat these events in what are still very dangerous times.Yours sincerely,John Blakeley

THANK YOUDear Caroline,Please could I use this column to thank the shopkeepers in Holt, who displayed my ‘Wanted’ poster for the 1940’s weekend, on their shops.Yours sincerely,John Rudd (The Holt Spiv)

DISABLED FRIENDLY HOLT

Dear Caroline,I was pleased to read of plans to publish a disabled-friendly route round Holt. I hope this will be done with input from disabled people; a dropped kerb to the able-bodied is not necessarily a dropped kerb for a wheelchair or scooter user!I would also like to see more being done to encourage and incentivise businesses, to make them more accessible. There are very few accessible premises in town, the majority having steps and no grab bars at the doorway. I recommend Budgen’s, Boots, Starlings, Nina’s, Capri and The Lawns for easy access, for example. A disabled-friendly route could also carry useful information such as whether coffee stops have an accessible toilet on the level, or whether the premises have wheelchair turning space.There are many visitors to Holt, as well as residents, who have impaired mobility and there is a real opportunity here for the town to market itself as accessible to all.Yours sincerely,Lynda Turbet

HOLT OWL TRAILDear Caroline,In July we noticed a number of owls appearing on the pavements around Holt and we were interested to read the article in the Chronicle on 14th July which explained why they were there.As we live in such a beautiful part of the country, we frequently have guests to stay. We were excited that there would be a self led trail for them to follow around Holt and

looked forward to its completion. Spotting the owls seemed an ideal way for younger visitors to explore the town.We volunteer at the railway and are frequently asked by families what they can do for an hour or two in Holt, so the owl trail would attract more visitors into town. This week I popped into the tourist information office to purchase a guide, only to find that there isn’t one yet. I am not alone, I was told that over 250 people have enquired there and been disappointed! If there is no guide available, what is the point of keeping the temporary plaques in place?Perhaps those involved could give us an update on the situation and a provisional date for the publication of the guide.If the temporary plaques are to stay for the time being, perhaps we could have an interim factsheet, at a nominal charge to cover printing costs, so their presence does not mislead anyone else?At least 251 of us anticipate your reply!Yours sincerely,Rosie Gutteridge

PEDESTRIANISATIONDear Caroline,I respond to Andrew Bealey’s suggestion that Bull Street is the most obvious candidate to be pedestrianised in order to save people from being ‘pressed against the walls’. Nominating Bull Street for a pedestrianisation scheme reveals a distinct lack of understanding of the area. Not only are numerous businesses totally reliant on vehicular access to operate, there are also over 40 residential properties dependent on Bull Street for vehicular access to their homes. Why should all these people be compromised by pedestrianisation? Had the suggestion been made for a traffic management improvement to implement and enlarge existing pavements for pedestrians there is an obvious solution. However, it would not necessitate the pedestrianisation of Bull Street, but it would involve the removal of a few parking spaces. Any suggestion to remove parking spaces would not be well received at this present time, particularly with the extensive programme of yellow lining now imminent on Cley Road and the recent removal of spaces in Church Street.It would be possible for decent sized pavements to be constructed along both sides of Bull Street if the one-way traffic flow was repositioned to the centre of the highway, ensuring safer areas for pedestrians and better frontages for the shops. Furthermore a reduction of the speed limit in Bull Street would be an advantage where the one


‘pinch-point’ makes it impossible to construct pavements. Of course, no traffic measures can be introduced until car parking spaces in Holt are dramatically increased. A leading businessman recently stated that £20 Million has been accrued from Holt’s rates and car parking revenues in the last decade. Had Town, District and County Councillors chosen to unite and invest in the provision of a permanent, fit-for-purpose, car park for Holt, this would have unlocked the town’s full potential years ago. Yours sincerely, Michael Hill

CHURCH STREET PARKING

Dear Caroline,I cannot believe the council thought it a good idea to take away all parking from by St Andrew’s Church, it is almost as if the powers that be have no idea what that funny old looking building with a tower at the end of the road is for. Have they no idea how many people use the building, not only on Sundays but throughout the week?I am the Tower Captain of the Bellringers, and we now have nowhere to park as the new car park charges 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, how money grabbing can you get?It puts me in a very tricky position, especially for weddings and funerals, how can I ask bellringers to come along to ring the bells for these occasions, when they will have to pay to park their car? I hope in future we will be able to continue to always ring the bells when requested, but unfortunately am no longer in a position to guarantee that, as, like most towers across the country, we rely heavily on the goodwill of visitors travelling into the town, very few of our ringers live within walking distance. Is there anything we can do to make the council see sense?Yours sincerely,Sue MortonTower Captain,St Andrew’s Bellringers

REMEMBERING THE PEACE MAN

Dear Caroline,Reference: Remembering The Peace Man in Issue 384.You can imagine my delight and relief when I read Simon Kinder’s letter. I had begun to feel like the Lone Ranger! Now, to think that this great man, this pacifist, lived and worked amongst us. Now we can let the little ones know that to walk away from war is not cowardly, it is sheer bravery. Most young men fight, not because they are strong but because they are weak and afraid, afraid to stand

alone, afraid to think for themselves, afraid to go against their mates!I hope some sort of celebration, a yearly day of recognition, can be organised in memory of Gerald Holton. A monument too perhaps, to all the unknown dreamers, who carried a vision of world peace. But visionaries do not crave monuments and medals, their visions sustain them, their hope, their faith in humanity. To see all the students of Gresham’s School, indeed all the young people of Holt wearing the white poppy for peace and sporting the CND symbol would be enough.Yours sincerely,Jenny Whybrow

CAR BOOTSDear Caroline,As chairman of Bodham Playing Field may we thank you for the advert that we have had in the Chronicle this year.Many thanks to all the people in the Holt area for their support in making our car boots so enjoyable and helping to raise funds for our field.Many thanks, hopefully we shall be back next May.Yours sincerely,M SayerChairman Bodham Playing Field Committee

MR ASHTON’S ‘SNEERING ATTACK’

Dear Caroline,Mrs Sweet calls me ‘cruel’ and ‘despicable’. I completely sympathise with her in her personal grief.She is entitled, of course, to believe in ‘influences outside our earthly vision’ and I would not begrudge belief in such help to the many thousands whose relatives have died in fear and agony, for example, from ‘acts of God’ in the shape of earthquakes and tornadoes, a lot less amusing than my joke about archangels. Yours sincerely,David Ashton

INVITATION DAY AUDEN THEATRE

Dear Caroline,On Saturday 23rd September my husband and myself attended Invitation Day, a free event at the Auden Theatre at Gresham’s School. About a dozen of us were warmly welcomed, given refreshments and shown the theatre. What an eye opener it

was!Following a short but interesting talk about the admin aspects and the history of the theatre we were taken to the auditorium where the first ‘surprise’ came. The seating is totally movable in huge chunks. From being a stage with an audience in front, it easily becomes a theatre in the round. We were able to stand on stage, a place unknown to most of us as we were used to only being in front of the stage as an audience.More was to come. We went to the ‘backroom’ where the props and scenery are constructed to a grand scale by only two and a half workers. Please note that the ‘half worker’ is in fact part time, the description in no way refers to stature!Following this we saw dressing rooms and the costume department, the latter of which clearly demonstrated that on occasions, a quart does most definitely fit into a pint pot! Finally we saw the sound and light mixing studio which was a technophobes nightmare but was so clearly described to us that all became clear.All of our many questions were answered clearly and in detail, this means that none of us were made to look like luddites!This was most certainly a day to remember and I would urge your readers, should the opportunity arise in the future, to take full advantage of this marvelous experience.With thanks to Wendy Metcalfe, Claire Miller and Paul Townson for a most memorable day.Yours sincerely,Jenny Folkes

A NEWCOMERDear Caroline,I have just moved into Melton Constable and I wondered if it would be possible to thank my new neighbours?I have only spent three nights in my new house and already feel very much part of the neighbourhood, despite leaving a home in Cambridge I’d spent 30 years in.All the neighbours have been so welcoming, especially George who took me for a short walk on day one and picked me up a copy of this great magazine! I’d like them all to know how much I appreciate the welcome I’ve received.Yours sincerely,Katie Symes

OUR LOCAL CHURCHESST.MARY & THE HOLY CROSS, BINHAM

More generally known as Binham Priority, St.Mary’s has existed for over ten Centuries. During earlier years it suffered greatly from the ravages of King Henry VIII who destroyed both its monastic life and its fabric. The Priory’s original nave is now an Anglican Church, enjoying an active and fruitful life both as a place of worship and as a centre for visitors and artistic activities.Regular services of Holy Communion are held each Sunday, predominately at 11.00am. Evening Prayers are said on Tuesdays (late afternoon or early evening).For visitors the interior is, by Parish Church standards, huge and of extraordinary height with three-tiered arched windows. Austerity abounds but history is well supported by relics in exhibition cabinets and carvings (each different) on the ends of the wooden pews.The stone walls of the Church’s exterior are patched with red brickwork. The ruins in the grounds give a vision of the immense scale of the Priory in ancient times.

FROM THE RECTORY

Dear friends,Around the diocese the church has been giving thanks for theharvest. Countless services have been held in a season that it isalmost as long as Eastertide! Yet in the church’s calendar Harvestis not a feast or a season, rather an opportunity to give thanks forthe generosity of God revealed in the fruits of creation. It is alsoaccompanied with a certain amount of nostalgia and hearkens backto an age when more people worked on the land and the local ruraleconomy was dependent on farming.I am the youngest son of a farmer and I grew up on one of a numberof small holdings in Yorkshire. Many in the village and surroundingarea were dependent on agriculture and their lives were inextricablylinked with the land and the seasons of the year. When it came togiving thanks for the harvest people packed the local parish churchwhich was beautifully decorated with sheaves of corn and theproduce of field and garden. Gifts of fresh fruit and vegetables andflowers together with non-perishable goods were offered and thendistributed to local hospitals and homes in the parish.In an age in which less and less people work on the land and in whichwe have become increasingly detached from where our food comesfrom, is their still a place for harvest thanksgiving in the church’syear? I think that there is. Giving thanks for the harvest keeps usconnected with the seasons of the year and those who harvest theland and the sea. It reminds us of our dependency on others toprovide and produce our food and for many it also reminds us ofthe generosity of a creator God. Giving thanks for the harvest alsobrings into sharp focus the most poor and vulnerable people in oursociety and across the world who often go without as a result ofpoverty and hardship. Therefore, it seems only right that in givingthanks for what we have we seek to make a difference to thosewhose lives are very different from our own.This year one of our chosen charities is the Mission AviationFellowship (MAF)who use light aircraft to transform the lives of theworld’s most isolated people in need. Flying into jungles, desertsand remote mountain regions MAF brings aid and relief to peoplein need. We are also supporting the Barnabas Fund which helpsChristians in parts of the world who are persecuted for their faithin Christ. A speaker from the Barnabas fund will be speaking in theparish soon. Locally, we continue to support the Cromer and DistrictFood Bank by encouraging people to donate non-perishable foodto help local people in crisis.“The land has yielded its harvest, God our God has blessed us,”giving thanks for the harvest reminds us that we can use theblessings we have received as a means of blessing others.Kindest regards.

Fr. Howard

Wells Maltings secures major funding award from The Clore Duffield Foundation

Wells Maltings is delighted to have been awarded £100,000 by The Clore Duffield Foundation towards a new learning and participation space within its redeveloped arts and heritage building in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea. The development project, which transforms a derelict but significant Grade II listed building and enhances it with a new contemporary wing, aims to establish Wells Maltings as the leading arts, culture and heritage venue on the North Norfolk Coast. The venue is scheduled to open in spring 2018.Of the £5m total cost to deliver the new Maltings complex, the Clore Duffield grant takes the organisation that much closer to its goal. Active fundraising continues, to secure the remaining funds, around £350,000, needed to deliver the technical fit-out and equipping of the building as a centre of excellence for artistic and heritage activity. Community fund raising has helped enormously; almost £4,000 has recently been raised via raffles for a community-made quilt and works donated by local Wells artists. With the community at its heart, the Maltings greatly appreciates the support of the local artistic and craft community. The Wells Maltings Trust was established in 2010 and the redevelopment of Wells Maltings entered an exciting phase this year, with the start on site of major construction work to restore, repair and develop the historic Maltings building on Staithe Street and create new community, arts, heritage and leisure spaces and a tourist information centre. In addition to Clore Duffield, funding from Heritage Lottery Fund, Coastal Communities Fund, Garfield Weston Foundation, North Norfolk District Council, Foyle Foundation and others has also been secured, including generous sponsorship from private donors and public donations.

ABOUT 850 NORTH NORFOLK BUSINESSES TO BENEFIT

FROM MORE THAN £1MIN RATE RELIEF

Lower bills to be sent out automatically over the next few weeksAbout 850 businesses across North Norfolk are in line to benefit from rate relief of more than £1m over the next five years thanks to the introduction of three schemes.Businesses that have seen their rates go up following recent revaluations, as well as pubs, are amongst the beneficiaries of the schemes, which have been given the green light by North Norfolk District Council. The money has come from central government but it is down to local authorities to draw up plans to distribute the funds.The largest chunk of money will come in the form of the Local Discretionary Revaluation Relief scheme. This fund, worth more than £900,000 in North Norfolk, is designed to help businesses that received steep rises in their bills following rate revaluations earlier this year. The decision by the District Council means about 700 businesses should be receiving new, lower bills under this scheme alone, highlighting that North Norfolk is a better place to do business.The bulk of this cash, more than £500,000, will be distributed this year, with a tapering effect over the next few years. The vast majority of the beneficiaries of this relief will see their rate increases cut by between 25% and 50% this year.Supporting Small Businesses Relief is also aimed at helping businesses that were hit by the recent change in rateable values. It is specifically targeted at businesses that saw the loss of Small Business Rates Relief or Rural Rate Relief as a result of the revaluation process.Meanwhile, it is thought that about 80 pubs will be better off thanks to Pub Relief.Businesses that are due to benefit from these rate reliefs will be contacted automatically and sent amended bills over the next few weeks.

CREDIT CRUNCH COOKINGOne for the Grown Ups!

One of my Mum’s favourite treats is a coffee meringue and, as I had egg whites left over from making custard, I thought I would have a go at running some up.Always one to mess around with a recipe, I wondered how I could improve on the basic meringue and cream combo, and the following emerged triumphantly! There just seems to be no end to the uses of Irish Cream in cooking; I buy mine at Lidl, where it is a good deal cheaper than the ‘branded’ ones, lasts ages, and doesn’t make me feel quite so guilty for using it in cooking!These are incredibly quick and easy to produce and are so scrumptious and moreish that they will disappear very quickly. The meringue is squidgy on the inside, crispy on the outside and the cream sites divinely with the coffee flavour.Don’t sandwich them with the cream until they are ready to be served, as they can go soft quite quickly. All that remains now is to experiment some more with this fabulous boozy drink ..... next stop, Irish Cream Pannacotta? Watch this space!Irish Cream Coffee Kisses3 egg whites6 oz caster sugarScant flat tblspn instant coffee, ground to a powder200ml double creamUse the cap of the Irish Cream bottle to measure out 2 capfuls of Irish CreamWhip the egg whites to form stiff peaks. Gradually whisk in the caster sugar and ground coffee powder a little at a time, until all incorporated and you have glossy peaks.Using a piping bag, pipe rounds about the diameter of golf balls onto a lined baking tray.Preheat oven to 120° and place tray into oven for ½ hour. Turn tray in oven, and if they are colouring too quickly, turn down to 100° for the remaining ½ hour.Remove carefully from the baking paper as they are quite fragile and cool on a cooling rack. Whip cream until quite stiff, gradually adding in the Irish cream a little at a time.Use to sandwich the cooled meringues together, dust with a little icing sugar and serve immediately. Carolyn Burn

NO MORE SMOKE AND MIRRORS,

JUST THE TRUTHAn open letter demanding answers from Government on the derisory pay award for police officers has been published by those representing rank and file officers from across the country.Andy Symonds, chair of Norfolk Police Federation, said: “Our members are angry and forces have been put in an impossible situation. We feel the government has not been truthful and honest about the pay award given to officers, and that is insulting. The two percent awarded has to come from existing policing budgets which means forces may have to choose between officer numbers and public safety. That cannot be right.”The letter outlines failures of the Government and demands answers on a range of issues, asking for the truth about crime figures, police numbers and claims of ‘extra’ officers.“Crime is not falling, it’s on the up and cyber-crime has exploded. Officers are having to do more and more and cries of extra police officers being on patrol are not ‘extra’ police officers. They are the same officers doing longer hours, being called back in when they are off or being given extra responsibilities. It is all smoke and mirrors and double standards. The public have been fantastic at giving us support but they deserve better. Officers give all to become police officers but they are broken; unable to cope with the mental and physical demands placed upon them by having to work in depleted environments. This cannot be right or fair on anyone, let alone the public. We don’t want meaningless platitudes,” continued Andy, “We want a properly funded and well-resourced police service. The public rightly want and expect this, which is why we have called for answers.”

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSfrom Able Community Care Limited

Question - I receive Direct Payments from my local council and I would like to use some of this money to buy a piece of equipment that I think will help me. Can I do this?Answer - Direct Payments are given to you to arrange and pay for your care needs. Prior to receiving the payments you will have been assessed by Social Services as to the care you require.You can use the payments in any way you choose as long as it is used to meet your assessed needs. Therefore you can use the money to buy or hire disability equipment which will assist in your care. The funding can also be used to maintain or repair such equipment.However, before purchasing or hiring disability equipment I would advise that you contact your local Social Services ( number in your local telephone directory) to make sure that they are in agreement with you, that the particular piece of equipment is appropriate for your needs.Question - My sister is terminally ill and wishes to be cared for at home. To help her remain at home her family is considering buying her an electrically adjusting bed with a special invalid mattress, a commode chair and possibly a stair lift. Will we have to pay VAT on these items?Answer - All the items you mention can be zero rated for VAT purposes because a person who is suffering from a terminal illness is defined as ‘chronically sick or disabled’ and therefore can qualify for zero rating on the above items.Question - I wish to purchase some elastic shoe laces for my Father who has difficulty tying ordinary shoe laces. Where can I get them?Answer - Elastic shoe laces are ideal for people who find it difficult to bend down to tie laces yet prefer a more formal shoe. Once the elastic laces have been firmly tied they make the shoe into a ‘slip on’ shoe which can make life easier. They can be purchased from aids and equipment shops, many outlets including Amazon. Question: - Is it possible to have a front door that opens automatically like some shops doorways do? I am an elderly person and do find some difficulty in using my keys to open my door when I am in a hurry to get inside?Answer: -There are remote control door systems that can be used for opening your front door (or any other external doors) that are particularly useful if you are elderly or disabled. Quite simply the opening of the door is controlled by a discreet key fob that has a button which you press. The range is usually about 45/50 metres.One firm Easy Gates manufactures the Locca System and the cost is approx £200.00 plus vat. However, there may be local firms in your area that offer a similar service and you could always contact your Crime Prevention Unit for details. If you would like details of the Locca System go to web site www.easygates.co.uk

JOIN IN FREE MUSIC SESSIONS AT SHERINGHAM TO BOOST WELLBEING

Music has the power to make people feel better and a seaside community can boost its wellbeing at a new series of have-a-go sessions. Hour-long, free community music and singing workshops will be held weekly from October to March at Sheringham Little Theatre under a Lottery-backed initiative. They will range from beating out African drum rhythms and strumming ukuleles to singing Sea Shanties and writing a community song for Sheringham.And they are designed for the whole community, aged 13 upwards, including people with dementia or other health conditions and their carers. No previous music-making experience is needed.The Mid Week Music at The Hub sessions are being staged by Playing for Cake, a social enterprise that runs interactive fun sessions to improve health and wellbeing, including singing for lung health and Parkinson’s.Community musician and Playing For Cake director Tina Blaber-Wegg said: “I have seen at first hand the power of music to help people during illness, when it provided a bass playing fellow musician who had dementia with fun, distraction and respite. We hope these workshops will do the same for the community and provide a supportive environment for carers and the cared-for to relax and enjoy. They provide an opportunity for people to share the joy of music-making, between generations and across different musical genres.”The free workshops will be held between 4.00pm and 6.00pm on Wednesdays from 4th October to 28th March in the theatre’s Hub coffee bar, with social time included before and after. They have been supported by a Big Lottery Fund Awards for All Grant, but also funds from Norfolk County Council and Sheringham Town Council. People can just turn up or reserve a seat via the box office on 01263 822347. Visit www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com for more details of the workshops.Find out more at www.playingforcake.uk,contact Tina at [email protected] or 07771 605 188.

SHERINGHAM AND CROMER LIONS CLUB

On 12th September we held our business meeting in the presence of our Zone Chairman, Lion Arthur Bailey and the District Governor, Derek Prior, who had travelled all the way from Billericay in Essex to visit Lions Clubs in the District.Our manning of the car park at Mannington Hall, home of Lord and Lady Walpole, had been a great success after we bought a walkie talkie system to assist us.We held our usual tombola at this once yearly big charity event, which this year was in aid of MS sufferers and we raised over £200.00 on the day for local needy causes and British Heart Foundation.The weather was good and we look forward to helping again next year.Liz BowlerPress Officer

HOLT ROTARY CLUB AT WOODFIELDS SCHOOL

It was smiles all round when Terry Sands (President designate) from Holt Rotary Club presented a cheque totalling £500.00 to pupils and staff from Turtles Class at Sheringham Woodfields School.

The money was donated following the hard work and effort of the members of Holt Rotary Club to raise funds for the school. The money will be put towards the new mini bus appeal which the school hopes to raise the remaining funds for by the start of the New Year. On behalf of the school, Matthew Smith (Business Manager) thanked all members of the rotary club for their support. He added, “we are now in touching distance of the £20,000 target needed which will see us be able to replace our current 13 year old mini bus. Our mini buses provide us with access to a rich and vibrant local community which forms a key part of our curriculum delivery”.

Keith Morley’S65th Birthday Bash

Saturday 7th October 201712.00 - 17.00 and also 19.30 - LateThe Ship Inn, Weybourne (NR25 7SZ)

Sadly, suffering as I am from terminal cancer, this just might be my last ever birthday, so I’d really love to have all my family, friends and acquaintances (especially villagers) turn up and help me celebrate my ‘retirement’. So, please make an effort to ‘drop in’ (at least), say hello and ‘make my day’!Separate afternoon and evening ‘sessions’, with a little food available at both and dancing music from about 9.00 pm.I don’t intend giving out individual invitations as, if you know me, you and your partner are very welcome to come along and have some fun at what I hope will be a memorable get together. Please pass on this ‘open invitation’ to folks you meet who might also know me.

Thank you………Keith

BINHAM PRIORY

ARTHUR HUNDLEBYRETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS

Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th October 10.00am to 6.00pmat Binham Priory, Warham Road, Binham NR21 0DQ

Arthur Hundleby had a home in Binham with his wife Marion for nearly fifty years. He came from a farming family in Lincolnshire, and trained at Lincoln and Leicester Schools of Art. He worked in London as a package and graphic designer and throughout his life he painted prolifically. He was inspired by the local landscape and architecture, particularly Binham Priory and this features in many of his works, alongside other well known north Norfolk churches. Many are executed in pen and ink with additional colour applied using paint or pastel. He had an excellent eye for composition, detail and the ever-changing light of the sky. Arthur also worked tirelessly to support the maintenance and conservation of the Priory where he was Church Warden for thirty years. He initiated fund-raising events such as the series of Summer concerts bringing young professional musicians from London, notably the harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock who performed at Binham early in his career. Arthur died in June 2017 and this exhibition will be a celebration of his life and a unique opportunity to see his work in the building he loved. Many works will be for sale.

Rogues will be RoguesMiranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr

It is impossible to legislate for human nature. Financial and other abuse of the vulnerable, and even within families, has been ever-present. So what is so remarkable about retired Master of the Court of Protection Denzil Lush’s tirade about how he would never make a Lasting Power of Attorney (‘LPA’)? He spent his working life seeing the ‘car-crashes’ of the LPA system, but probably had little to do with the happy cases where a timely LPA is a life-saver. Like an A+E doctor saying paracetamol should be totally banned because he’d seen too many cases where an overdose had been taken, misuse of a system by the few shouldn’t remove its availability from the many. It doesn’t take an LPA for financial abuse to take place. In these days of internet banking, funds can be accessed/transferred and mis-spent without a scrap of paper. Better that an LPA should be in place with the availability of the safeguards of the Office of the Public Guardian than the only route being that of a full-on, expensive and very slow application to the Court of Protection for the appointment of a Deputy. My own late grandfather’s informal carer ‘persuaded’ him, when he was at the point of losing mental capacity in his 90s, to write a cheque so her teenage son could buy a car. The Power of Attorney, by which he appointed me and my brothers, enabled us to have that £9,000 cheque cancelled at the bank. Without it, he would have been defrauded. The current system could, of course, always be improved. One way would be to require a professional person (medical or legal) to act in the role of Certificate Provider at the point when the LPA is made. Contrasting the LPA with Mr Lush’s expressed preference for the Deputyship route shows why the LPA is best in most cases. It can take 12 months for the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy, during which time their finances are frozen, things can get into a real muddle and even the care fees cannot be paid. Sadly, often the person dies before the Deputy is appointed.Having more than one attorney appointed by your LPA enables them to keep an eye on each other. It is possible to require your attorneys to produce annual accounts to show where the money is going. There can be a restriction so as to place a cap on the amount that a single attorney can withdraw. Ensuring proper thought is better than avoiding an LPA altogether, as this may compound the problem. A report last year from Action on Elder Abuse warned on the importance of specialist legal advice. Look for a solicitor who is a member of Solicitors for the Elderly www.sfe.legal who will act as a safeguard against fraud and coercion.Given the current levels of confusing and conflicting messages about making an LPA, Hayes + Storr have created an ‘easy to understand’ information guide on what the process involves and why it can be necessary.

THE 1940s WEEKEND IN PICTURES


HORNETS ON HOLT LOWESI thought this recent photo of hornets leaving their nest on Holt Lowes might be of interest.They had occupied a hole at the base of an oak tree. Warning signs had been placed around the site but it is possible to watch the hornet’s activities from a safe distance.They are the largest British wasps but despite their reputation are a bit less aggressive than other kinds.Bob Ward

First Letter fromthe Methodist Church new MinisterTo Stay blessed, Stay Connected-John 15:4

Dear Church Members, colleagues and friends in ministry,Let me begin by saying that together you, as colleagues, members of my congregations, friends, and I, your new minister, have chosen each other to continue on our spiritual journey. Uniting with the mission of Christ, we are learning to form a relationship that will enable us to be open to where God wants to lead us.I believe in the mind, body and spirit connection of both the individual and the community. I work to bring them in healthy partnership. I firmly believe that ‘God is Still Speaking’ since, we ‘have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God… Like living stones, let (us) be built into a spiritual house.’ (1 Pet 1:23, 2:5) I believe that our growth will be a collaborative effort. God is still blessing us with the discovery of our talents to promote an honourable community and world.I would like to thank everyone for such a warm welcome into the Central Norfolk Circuit of the Methodist Church and the hours given to make ready the Manse. My appreciation to the hours of service by the Superintendent Rev Andrew King and his Circuit Leadership team is immeasurable. I also give a big thank you to our Methodist East Anglia District Chairperson, Rev. Julian M. Pursehouse for coming to welcome me, my wife Christine and our son Divine. We will treasure his powerful and encouraging message. I also thank our family friend Rev Charles Ilunga and spouse, who travelled from London to be part of our welcome service and Christine and Divine, my family, for their unwavering support. In just a short time, I have been welcomed into our family sized churches with the mega church heart. I believe that we have great potential and I can feel the energy of enthusiasm each Sunday. With great potential, we also have great responsibility to keep rooted and based in our Scripture as our written guide and listening to God’s living message, active today. The differing desires between who we are in the world and who we are in the world with faith in Christ is that God is laying the beloved groundwork for us! Our Scripture tells us that we should, ‘Forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead.’ (Phil 3:13) My first Covenant service at Holt Methodist Church and the Bible verses used, remind us of the new Covenant with Christ and with each other that helps us to journey together in one hope, mission and trust.We have opportunities to continue our fellowship and service outreach opportunities through different activities.Let us allow our faith to grow towards the brilliance of God’s Holy Light. Let us consider ourselves and our community’s togetherness to ‘press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.’ (Phil 3:14) Let us be aware that we are more than merely surviving and what we achieve in society still needs to be connected with the Living Christ. Yours in Christ, Rev Cliff Shanganya.Tel: 01263 712181Mobile: 07741 534191 - Email: [email protected]

Our Young People, Our Future, Our Responsibility

NEWS FROM HOLT COMMUNITY CENTRE

Chairman’s Chat: The disaster that struck us at the Holt Community Centre last week is miniscule when compared to the likes of Hurricane Irma or the Mexican earthquake. However, when a plan of action is interrupted by forces outside one’s control; and the people expecting a promised service are disappointed and denied their hour of pleasure, then it could be branded a ‘disaster’. In case you’re wondering, no one lost their life or was injured, so please read on if you’re still remotely interested.Our satellite receiver refused to deliver The Magic Flute from the Royal Opera House onto the screen. Three test runs and numerous acts of fiddling about with the remote control failed to change the receiver’s intransigence. It resolutely provided a blank screen for us to ponder (or swear at, more often!). However, the worthy audience, who came in the hope that they would see the show as advertised, magnanimously agreed to see a different performance from a different source. They seemed to go home reasonably happy. The same cannot be said for yours truly, who retired homewards trailing the black smoke of wrath.Calmer now: those of you planning to come and see La Bohème on Sunday 8th October at 2.00pm should not worry. The ‘Disaster Blaster’ has been employed and the programme will run, as advertised. Martin

Good. Sariously, my Great Aunt Gladys had it all over, but a cocktail of calamine lotion, Voltarol and meths seem to have dun the trick. Hen’t it. Funny woman. She do love her cats. She got three on ’em, Benito, Adolf and Chairman Miaow. Why the rescue centre called them that we’ll never know but somehow the names have stuck.Anyhoo, this hare week we’ll be examinin’ loocal place names and their pronunciation for yer further education and development. If yer ready, hare we goo…WEYBOURNE - Pronounced ‘WEBBUN’. (Straightforward loocal contraction. Mouth open, tongue flat - Well done.)FULMODESTONE - Pronounced ‘FULMERSTUN’. (Dittoo. Relax and let it flow, like treacle down a gravestone.)HOLT - Pronounced ‘HOLT’. Or, if you live up the posh end, ‘HILT’. (Lovely people, but strangers to the Aldi Bag For Life, if you know what I mean. Although they are kind to the servants my butler friend tells me. Oonly kidding, everyone in Holt is lovely. It’s a very nice place.)Well my beauties you’ve dun great. Soo proud o’ yer and glad to help again with yer Loocal Verbal Development. My missus says I’m a ‘lay resource’ apparently, although thinking about it she might have said ‘lazy ar…’. Somewhat unkind, although I did eat that sammich she made for me this morning just to keep her happy. But overall, fair enough, she’s rarely wrong.Now, have a good week ol’ partners and see you again soon for anurther Laarning Norfolk with The Boy Sadler.Chow, altergether. Twitter: @TheBoySadler

FROM HOLT CONSULTING ROOMSAcupuncture has been evolving over 2500 years and in many different countries, so it is not surprising that it is hard to understand the many types of treatment and theories out there. However, what may be of interest are some recent studies where acupuncturists are working alongside doctors in Western hospitals. For instance, in Israeli hospitals, pain relief is often given with acupuncture needles - and they are also used for treating heart disease. In general Acupuncture is good for the heart because it helps with artery repair. But for atrial fibrillation, the results are outstanding, with around 85% success in reducing symptoms - verifiable on a heart monitor. This pioneering work is also being done in Holland, and in time will no doubt come to a hospital near you! The protocol used for these eminent studies is one that all of the 3000 BAcC, UK registered acupuncturists are trained in.The pace of these research projects (most of which verify Chinese theories) is hotting up, with a lot more scientific papers being published relating to Acupuncture than any other complementary therapy. In the last 4 years the number of conditions for which this treatment has been rated as very effective (80% success) has risen to include migraine, headache, low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, allergic rhinitis, post chemo nausea, post-op pain, post-op nausea and vomiting. More studies are in the pipe line, and no doubt some of these treatments, which have minimal or no side-effects, will eventually come to our hospitals. But they are already available at Holt Consulting Rooms.Richard Lamb BSc MBAcC.Tel. 01263 711712

A BAD CASE OF THIEVING CUREDA garage owner had a bad case of thieving, so he came up with this idea to give his dog a haircut. He put the word out that he had a new Mexican Lion that would attack anyone that tried to break in or climb his fence. Would-be thieves saw the ‘Lion’ from a distance and fled the scene.The dog’s probably trying to work out why his head is so hot and his bum is so cold.

SHERINGHAM SHANTYMENThe Sheringham Shantymen are pleased to announce that they will be performing at 7.30pm at Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre on Sunday 22nd October for their last public performance of 2017. To make this yet another very special occasion, the Shantymen have invited their friend and Cromer resident Norfolk champion, journalist, broadcaster, portrayer of squit and wit Mr Keith Skipper as their very special guest. Musical Director Mr Brian Farrow said, “Following on from the last two years where after much turbulent debate an amicable relationship was finally established we thought it would make perfect sense to revisit this union of crab & lobster.” The Chairman of the Shantymen Mr Bob Hawkins said, “We are very much looking forward to working with Keith Skipper again where we will be able to witness first hand his particular brand of wonderful Norfolk squit”With regard to their October performance on the Pier, Booking Secretary Chris Dolby said, “Once again I know the lads are looking forward to performing at the Pier Pavilion Theatre where we have always been made to feel very at home by the Pier staff and the wonderful theatre audiences.”Shantyman secretary Dick Grieve when questioned about Norfolk squit admitted that he had been influenced by Mr Skipper when he advised “Yis ... dew yew keep a’troshin’, tergether!”This year, the Shantymen will be donating all of the profits from the show, to be split evenly, between the RNLI (Cromer & Sheringham) and the Magdalene Group.B J Farrow, Musical Director,Sheringham Shantymen

WEYBOURNE GOOD COMPANIONSWeybourne Good Companions Group met on Wednesday afternoon, 27th September and members spent a very enjoyable time being entertained by speaker Steve Short.

The afternoon concluded with refreshments and a raffle.Weybourne Good Companions meet at Weybourne Village Hall on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 2.30pm.On 25th October there will be a Sing-a-long with Hank from Great Yarmouth.

HOLT WIAfter welcoming the members, Judith Follows, our President introduced us to our speaker Zoe Smith from the Hawk and Owl Trust.Zoe’s talk was about Peregrines, with particular reference to the ones who nest on Norwich Cathedral. She had some wonderful pictures and video clips of the birds’ courtship, nesting and raising of chicks. We also saw a video of the Peregrine’s amazing stoop, diving after their avian prey. The birds are aerodynamically designed reaching speeds of up to 200 mph. The Norwich Peregrines were first seen on the spire in 2009 and since the introduction of the nest platform 9 fledglings have survived into adulthood. They are usually ringed at 17 days old. One has been seen as far away as Newcastle.Judith sent many thanks on behalf of all the members to Chrissie Hill who opened her garden in August when an afternoon of sunshine, tea and scones was enjoyed. The two members who recently visited Denman College had a very enjoyable time. June Clarke made some jewellery using wirework and Jill Timpson learnt about Reflexology. Both enjoyed the social times, afternoon tea, talking before dinner and entertainment in the evening. Together they attended an afternoon session of the history of musicals which entailed much singing and some dancing!The Federation Meeting in Sheringham was well attended, there were two speakers, one from Leeway, a charity shelter for abused women, and Sean Hedges-Quinn the sculptor of Captain Mainwaring which is in Thetford.At our next meeting on 18th October we have a speaker from Amazona Zoo, ‘Mind the Jaguar’.

KELLING PROBUS CLUBKelling Probus Club held its September lunch meeting on 21st September at The Dales Hotel, Upper Sheringham.Chairman Ken Murray welcomed 24 members and guest speaker Simon Kinder. After a tasty lunch, he invited Simon to speak on ‘Norfolk, Gresham’s, Spies & Traitors’. Simon talked first about the vulnerability of the local coast to invasion and how, through the ages, it was sometimes disregarded as a potential site for amphibious landings.He then talked about local characters who were sometimes regarded as spies, including Sir Edgar Speyer a German industrialist who built the Sea Marge in Overstrand as his home and left North Norfolk after 1914 as rumours suggested he was signaling with lights on top of the building; Anglo Dutch Farmers, a company who seemed to be preparing barns to house the German Air Force and the Dobbs from Weybourne Mill, who it was discovered were using a transmitter to send spy messages. Simon then continued with the main part of his talk which covered the schoolboys at Gresham’s School in Holt who became spies for the Soviets.These included Donald Maclean, a member of the Cambridge Five. Maclean’s friends at Gresham’s, who later became spies, were Cedric Belfrage, who spied in Washington, and three others including Bernard Floud the MP for Acton who killed himself when his espionage story was revealed.Simon then tried to give us reasons why these clever well-to-do pupils might have become spies. He suggested that Gresham’s was a forerunner in education featuring Language and Science and one or two of the teachers of that time were very much attracted to Marxism and Communism.He felt their influence perhaps moulded pupils’ views when they got to University.After answering several questions Simon was thanked by Bruce Bidwell for an excellent talk.We meet on the third Thursday of each month for lunch and a speaker and welcome new members.Contact John Whittington on 01263 820333 if you are interested.

Continuing our series of shortestgames showing particular themes, this is the shortest known game to optical 0-0 after actual 0-0-0. Certainly made me smile on solving. Bernd Gräfrath has made castling themes his speciality, but is an expert in all themes and edits the “Selected Retros” column in The Problemist.With No. 221 we begin a new prize mini-competition, this time returning to direct-mates (always by White, to play). Most will be two-movers, but this one in six (source details from memory) should be an easy one to attract and maintain the interest of over-the-board players. Looks impossible at first since the black K can attack the R and make it move; White can, however, just achieve his object. Difficulty 2.Solutions and comments to me at 16 Lime Grove, Sheringham.

BROADLAND CHESS CLUBTime has flown by and here we are at the beginning of a new season in the chess world. During the summer the British Chess Championships were held in Llandudno, Wales with the Grandmaster Gwain Jones being victorious. A number of Norfolk players travelled to take part this year. They aim to move this tournament around the country so from East to West, and North to South, for your information the last time they were held in Norfolk was back in 2007 at Great Yarmouth College, we put on a really good show and even played chess on the beach! Surely it must be time for the tournament to move back to East Anglia soon? Who knows?The club opened its doors last week and welcomed over half a dozen new members including several Juniors. This bodes very well for the season. A new tournament started this week, The Aylsham Festival Cup, an annual warm up tournament before the league fixtures start in October.Broadland will field four teams in the Norfolk Leagues, a team in the Williamson Cup, a team in the Norfolk & Suffolk and two teams in the Rapidplay Handicap Knockout. As defending champions in all tournaments we have a tall order to be as successful this year with a number of other clubs in the county looking to take over our array of trophies. Our success is built on attracting new players of all abilities. You never know you could be the next Norfolk Champion, with a little help from our club members, so if you’re wondering how to fill the winter evenings why not come along and play a few friendly games with members.Our club meets three times a week, at the Kings Head, Coltishall, (7.30pm) but if you are a new member or visitor come along on Monday and Wednesday evenings when someone will always be available to talk to you. For more information contact us via our website, facebook or twitter pages.SandraPublicity Officer, Broadland Chess Club

GENDER EQUALITY AT HOLT BOWLS CLUB

As the nights draw in, outdoor bowling becomes impossible, unless you are like Cawston Bowls Club with a full set of

floodlights.Each year the end of the season is therefore celebrated with the ‘Cawston Floodlit League’, a knock out competition featuring

many of the local clubs.And this year Holt Bowls Club achieved success by winning the ‘Subsidiary Cup’, a feat they have not achieved since 2008. A notable feature was that the winning team contained six ladies and six men, unlike the other teams whose sides never fielded more than two ladies.Come to Holt for gender equality!

...... and Bowls for everyoneIn addition to their ‘Poppy Café’ and home visiting, the Holt and District Dementia Support Group now run monthly Sports Sessions at the Sports Centre.As part of this activity they recently called in on the Bowls Club for some instant instruction in bowling technique.A good time was had by all.

CROQUET AT BODHAM The final of the Bodham Croquet Club annual handicap Knock-Out took place on 8th September, between Barry Pilgrim (Holt) and Edward Hackford (Blakeney).Edward, receiving 11 bisques (handicap extra turns), won the toss and chose to go first. Barry, hitting in several times from enormous distances, got off to a good start with 2 three-hoop breaks to be 8-2 up after half an hour, but then Edward brought off the first of 3 peels (putting partner ball through same hoop) to lead 12-11 after 1½ hours and level 14 all after 2, unfortunately using up all his bisques in the process. Then Barry suddenly gained control and, despite missing a chance to go all round with his Blue, built a lead of 22-17 after 2½ hours; then Edward, now playing manfully with no bisques left, made a long hit-in of his own and ran a 3-hoop break to rover to be only one behind, but when time was called after 3 hours, even though Edward had the innings and some chances, Barry had won 23-21, retaining the trophy from last year.An encouraging result showing that high-handicap players sometimes have chances even against experts.

All the routes are short (½ to 1½ miles), start and finish near car parks with accessible toilets, offer frequent seating opportunities and are well waymarked, they also offer the opportunity for everyone to discover special parts of the area. The information sheet also contains photos of things to look out for, the waymarkers to follow and the terrain of the route in order that you can judge for yourself if it is suitable for you. Suitable for everyone from wheelchair users to families with pushchairs and the elderly. To find a route for you, visit: norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk and search ‘Easy access walks’.

THAT’S LIFE!More true life experiences

During a long car journey, our young son Callum had a question: “Dad, why are all drivers going slower than us idiots and those going faster lunatics?”At the start of his army entrance interview, my brother was startled to be greeted by the sharp command: “Get under the table at once!”Thinking that this must be some test of discipline, he obediently dived ...... and saw a large dog creeping in from the other side.A friend of mine agreed to babysit for her neighbour’s five-year-old son. His bedroom was at the top of the house, but the neighbours explained that there was no need to keep going up to check on him, they’d left the baby alarm installed, so she’d hear him if he woke up.After a couple of hours, my friend heard the child stirring. Seeing that there was an intercom switch on the baby alarm, she clicked it and said soothingly, “Hello, Jamie. Don’t worry, I’ll be there in a minute.”There was a silence. Then a worried little voice asked, “Is that you, wall?”The parents had clearly never used the intercom facility before.When I visited an elderly acquaintance recently, I found her watching the snooker on TV and scribbling notes.“I didn’t know you liked snooker so much,” I said.“Shhh!” she replied. “I’m writing to the BBC.”“What about?” I asked. “Cheating!” she snapped back. “Just watch this. Every time the player pots a ball, that man in black puts it back on the table when the other player’s not looking.”

LOCAL POLICE NEWSSHEEP ATTACKED IN GRESHAM

Police are appealing for witnesses following an incident of a dog worrying livestock in Gresham which happened last week. At some point between 8.00am and 9.00am on Thursday 14th September one sheep has been killed and a further 12 injured in a field just off Holt Road.This report comes three weeks after a previous attack, which was reported to police on Friday 25th August, where two sheep were killed and four injured.Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information concerning suspect(s) responsible. Anyone with information should contact PC Jason Pegden at Fakenham Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555111.

NORFOLK POLICE TO LOCK DOWN ON BICYCLE THEFTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Police in Norfolk have launched a project to prevent secondary school children becoming victims of bicycle theft. The Safer Schools Partnership is rolling out the Bike Register scheme at high schools across the county following an increase in opportunistic bicycle thefts on schools grounds. Officers within the Safer Schools Partnership have been trained to mark the bicycles and sign individuals up to the free Bike Register website, a national database which flags a bike up as stolen and increases the chance of it being reunited with its owner. The project will also give officers the opportunity to educate young people about cycle security. Each school will be provided with a number of combination bike locks to secure any unlocked bikes left on the site. Any students who have failed to adequately secure their bicycle will be sent home with a letter detailing bike safety advice. PC Garry Hoadley from the Safer Schools Partnership said: “It’s hoped this initiative will deter opportunistic thieves and save young people from the inconvenience and financial implications of having their bike stolen.”

NORTH NORFOLK PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Ann Miles (pictured) came from Cambridge to talk to North Norfolk Photographic Society

on 20th September.Ann is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and is currently Secretary to The London Salon. She trained as a biologist and spent her working life in scientific publishing. She has been an active photographer for the last 20 years and, for about

10 years, taught general and nature photography at university degree level.

Ann lectures all round Britain and also gives workshops and individual tuition. She has visited the club before, so an interesting talk with superb photographs were expected, and she did not disappoint!The theme this time was the Seaside, and members were shown dozens of images from seasides all around the country, all in Ann’s perfect quality. And as she showed her pictures, she also gave

numerous tips on ways to achieve the best mono conversions, the best way to enhance an image and so on.Not for nothing is Ann’s website called pin-sharp.co.uk!Meetings of the North Norfolk Photographic Society

are normally held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month at the Holt Community Centre. For further details please contact the club secretary, Judith Wells at [email protected] or see the club website at http://www.nnphotosoc.org/


WHERE ARE THE MAIN BUS STOPS IN HOLT?

This might at first seem a simple question with a simple answer: ‘Market Place, War Memorial’.But this is not what is written on the bus stops and their attached timetables or in the timetable book, and on-line timetables, of Sanders Coaches Ltd Bus Services.Bus stops and their attached timetablesThere are three bus stops in Market Place to the north, east and south of the War Memorial.1. North - this is labelled ‘Holt / o/s Santander’ and the timetable box is empty.Is this bus stop now superfluous since the demise of the 2A Konect Service? There is a complete absence of timetable information. To name the stop after a local business is probably not best practice. It is not as helpful to passengers, especially those unfamiliar with the locality, as using a street name or a substantial permanent structure such as ‘Market Place, War Memorial’.2. East - this is labelled ‘HOLT / Memorial Bus Shelter’; the attached timetable is headed ‘Holt, Bus Shelter’. To name a bus stop ‘Bus Shelter’ again does not accurately describe where it is. It is the ‘Millennium Bus Shelter’ and not the Memorial Bus Shelter. The bus stop is in error. In addition when I looked (24th September 2017) the timetable had not been updated from September 2016!3. South - this is labelled ‘HOLT / Railway Tavern’; the attached timetable is headed Holt, Market Place’. The Railway Tavern closed for business in 2012 and so this stop has not been updated. Sanders’ timetables sometimes use ‘East Anglian Hospice Shop’ which has replaced the Railway Tavern to describe this stop but apart from not being accurate (it should be East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices Shop) this usage has the same objection as the use of ‘Santander’ at the north bus stop. The attached timetable states ‘Holt, Market Place’ and is therefore satisfactory. However, like that at the east bus stop it is out of date and it does not match the name of its bus stop.

SuggestionWould Holt Town Council express a view of how these bus stops are to be known?The future of the north bus stop (‘Holt / o/s Santander’) should be discussed but if it is used it should have a timetable.It should then be a simple matter to request new bus stops from North Norfolk District Council and Norfolk County Council. I would suggest that the following might be adopted for all the stops:HOLTMarket Place, War MemorialOnce agreement is reached it would be possible for Sanders Coaches Ltd to follow suit and always use the same designation in their timetables.It might be necessary to indicate which stop is being referred to either by the geographical designation used here, with 1, 2 and 3 or A, B and C being other possibilities.
