On 9th June, the organisers of the Café decided to combine the celebrations with a special event, which took place in the town centre, where the new regional dish, the East Anglian Sausage Flat, pioneered by Heart FM’s breakfast show, was introduced to local people and businesses. After a morning which saw samples of the Sausage Flat handed out around the town centre, the Café featured the dish on its lunch menu that day and welcomed around 40 local people including Holt District Councillor, Maggie Prior, and Mayor of Holt, Cllr Duncan Baker, to lunch (photograph, right). There was also a chance to celebrate the work of the Café’s volunteers during the annual National Volunteers’ Week event. The Café was set up by four local churches to provide a welcoming weekly get-together for residents in Holt and surrounding villages, who face issues of isolation. Its volunteers prepare and serve a two-course meal at midday every Thursday, and its following has grown rapidly since it first opened its doors on 23rd June last year. Holt resident Carolyn Burn, who was instrumental in the founding of the enterprise, said: “We are incredibly blessed with our wonderful dedicated volunteers (below) who put heart and soul into all they do at the Café and so encouraged that increasing numbers of local people are coming and enjoying time with us. We have had many testimonies from customers who tell us how much their weekly time at the Café means to them and are so excited to be celebrating our one year anniversary this month. I’d also like to thank Allards butchers for their generous support supplying all the sausage meat for the Sausage Flats.” The Community Café has now also become a venue for Little Star, a group of local people (below) who knit, sew and crochet items of clothing for stillborn babies and also the homeless. Membership of Little Star is also growing, with around a dozen people attending every Thursday. Talking about the Community Café, Cllr Prior said: “The atmosphere at the Café is what strikes me and the buzz today reminds me of the event that was held here at Christmas. The amount of things this group is doing for other people is amazing. I think huge, huge thanks should go to all the volunteers who turn up every week and show total commitment.” Cllr Baker said: “It’s absolutely marvellous what has been achieved in such a short time and testament to its success that so many people attend. It’s wonderful.” Both Holt Community Café and Little Star welcome anyone interested in participating in either community enterprise. Please visit the Community Centre at 10.30am on Thursdays to meet the Little Star knitters and crocheters. The Community Café serves lunch on Thursdays between midday and 1.30pm.

The event, entitled ‘A Taste of Norfolk’, was hosted by The Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley. The 80 guests, some of whom have travelled from around the world, were invited to the black tie evening while being encouraged to make a donation to the charity’s vital nook appeal. EACH was also extremely proud to welcome their Royal Patron HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, who attended along with HRH The Duke of Cambridge. EACH provides vital services caring for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across East Anglia and supporting their families. The nook appeal is the charity’s campaign to raise £10 million to transform children’s palliative care across Norfolk, including building a new hospice called the nook. Graham Butland, Chief Executive said: “We are so thrilled with the success of ‘A Taste of Norfolk’. This truly unprecedented event for EACH was only made possible following many months of hard work and dedication from our voluntary committee, led by our Patron Emma Deterding and Philippa Pease of Purple Chilli Events. We want to say a huge thank you to Emma and all the committee members, who have worked so tirelessly, and to the many companies and individuals, who have so generously showed their support.” The evening began with an elegant champagne reception where guests were treated to musical entertainment from Sam Aldersey-Williams and The Jefford Brothers, as well as some magic tricks courtesy of magician Archie Manners. Guests then moved through to the Stone Hall of the elegant country house to enjoy a very special five course meal with courses created and cooked by five world renowned Michelin Star chefs: Galton Blackiston, Sat Bains, Claude Bosi, Tom Kerridge and Mark Edwards. A highlight of the evening was a performance by the EACH Treehouse Choir, who took to the Gallery in the Stone Hall after dinner. The Choir, of which members include EACH families, staff and volunteers, performed three songs: Something Inside So Strong by Labi Siffre, Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, Don’t Worry About Me by Frances. An emotionally charged speech was given by choir member Charlotte Markham, where she told guests about her son Elliot who died at just a few hours old. Charlotte and her family received care and support from EACH during this difficult time. She stunned the room with her brave account of support they received from the charity and how EACH helped her whole family, including Elliot’s older brother Louis, through Elliot’s death and their bereavement. The dinner was brought to a close with speeches from critically acclaimed author and EACH Ambassador Anthony Horowitz OBE and The Marquess of Cholmondeley. Anthony has been an Ambassador of EACH since 2008 and is passionate about the work of the charity. He spoke to guests about his recent visit to the existing hospice in Quidenham to find out more about the plans for the nook and why a new building in Norfolk is so important for care delivery. He urged everyone in the room and the wider public to back this vital appeal, so EACH can deliver even better services to even more families. EACH Patron and event organiser Emma Deterding said: “We are so thrilled with the success of A Taste of Norfolk and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the evening. I would like to thank Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for agreeing to join us for this amazing evening. Special thanks are also due to The Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley for so generously offering us Houghton Hall as a venue. There have been so many companies and individuals who have generously and graciously shown their support. We are so grateful, it truly was a wonderful evening. We will be announcing a total raised in due course, but thanks to the huge generosity of our hosts, supporters and guests, this special event enables the nook to be one step closer to being a reality for so many families.” EACH has outgrown its current hospice in Quidenham, due to demand and the changing and more complex needs of the children and young people they care for. The nook will be built on a five-acre woodland site in Framingham Earl just south of Norwich and will offer services which are either currently unavailable or extremely limited at Quidenham hospice such as a hydrotherapy pool, music studio, large rooms for on-site family support groups, larger and more accessible outside space for children to explore and play and private rooms for one-to-one counselling.

CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS This term, children from five primary schools in North Norfolk have been taking part in an exciting and ambitious music, art and poetry project based around the orchestral work ‘Carnival of the Animals’ by Camille Saint-Saens. On 13th July at 12.30pm the musicians from ‘Parnassus’, led by the internationally renowned conductor Peter Stark, will give a concert featuring ‘Carnival of the Animals’ at St Andrew’s Church, Holt, which up to fifty children from each of five partner primary schools, Holt, Gresham Village, Langham, Overstrand and Roughton, will be attending. There will also be a public performance at 6.30pm that evening. It smells of the great outdoors Playful, fun and happy like it should be And very keen Dopey always tired During the first half of the summer term, children took part in art, music and poetry workshops, based on the animal theme, to inspire and add to the musical experience. These workshops have stimulated adventurous and imaginative ideas for the related art and poetry competitions. The resulting art work will be exhibited in three local libraries; Cromer, Holt and Sheringham from 6th - 20th July and in St Andrew’s Church, Holt, from 23rd - 28th July as part of the Holt Festival. It’s got a swirling tail like a tornado Sharp teeth like jagged rocks Prowling like a guard Oh! Oh! There’s a mouse in the house. Ready! Set! Pounce! Part of poem by a pupil from Holt Primary - Year 5 On the final day of the exhibition at St Andrew’s Church in Holt, on Thursday 28th July, at 6.30pm there will be a Celebratory Event. During which a selection of the children’s poetry will be read and prizes for the art and poetry competitions will be presented by award winning children’s author and poet Kevin Crossley-Holland. A book of selected poems will also be available. The Carnival of the Animals project is being organised and partfunded by FALCON, with generous funding from the Arts Council of England and the Norfolk Arts Fund. It is being run in partnership with Holt Festival (who are funding the school’s concert), and is made possible by support of the five partner primary schools, as well as the Norfolk Library Service and the Rector of St Andrew’s Church, Holt.

CAT SHOT IN FIELD DALLING Dear Caroline, Our cat Sharrie was shot on 28th or 29th May, the Bank Holiday weekend, in the vicinity of Langham Road, Field Dalling. He managed to limp home on the Sunday morning and we rushed him to the vet. An airgun pellet had entered his upper chest on the left side, just above his lungs, and shattered his shoulder blade. The damage was so great that his left front leg had to be amputated. He now faces extensive aftercare and lifelong disability. In time he will adapt, but his previous life is gone for ever. The police have classified the incident as criminal damage, issued a crime number, and asked for further incidents to be reported. Cats are not required to be confined to their owner’s property. A person found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to any animal can face a maximum six-month prison sentence or a £20,000 fine. The law is clear. You must not shoot a cat unless: (1) you are certain it is feral; (2) you are certain it will not suffer. If these conditions are not both met, you are committing an offence. Responsible gun websites agree. In practice, no one should shoot cats. Yours sincerely, Brian Goodale THANK YOU Dear Caroline, I would just like to say a big ‘Thank you’ to all the people who sent cards and called me to offer their condolences on the sudden loss of my wife Ronnie Rix to cancer in March. Words cannot describe what such a void her loss has left in the family, so I would like to thank you all who attended her funeral at St. Andrew’s, church, Holt and packed out the place to give her a fitting send off. The collection raised £700 for Papworth Hospital and The Big C Cancer charity, so once again a big thank you to you all. Yours sincerely, Paul Rix and family. THANK YOU Dear Caroline, Through your magazine could I please thank everyone who helped to arrange the street party in Holt in celebration of the Queen’s 90th birthday on Sunday. Everyone who put out tables and chairs, to those who washed up, to those who supplied and arranged the flowers. Also to the Town Council, to Father Howard and to the church members who helped. BRISTON DAY CENTRE NEWS THANK YOU Dear Caroline, I recently had a birthday gathering at the Holt Community Centre. It was a memorable day for me and I would like to thank all the people involved. Firstly, family and friends for turning up, giving gifts, or donating money towards the Air Ambulance and Cystic Fibrosis charities. £235.85 was given to be equally shared. Thank you. Secondly, Chandler and Green for bringing ‘The Music’. Thirdly, the guests who muscled in with the usual work of clearing, pouring teas, washing-up etc. Last but not least the staff and volunteers of the Centre, for all their help, service, cooperation, friendliness etc. Thank you all once again, it was such a good day! Yours sincerely, Trevor Strohm Craymere Road, Briston, Melton Constable Tel: 01263 861 948 Do you get fed up sitting at home all day, hardly ever going out anywhere, not seeing many people to have a chat with? Here’s an idea, why not join our happy crowd here at the Briston Day Centre! During this last month we have been to Drayton for fish and chips, visited garden centres at Dereham and Overstrand where we enjoyed delicious coffee and scones; we also went to Stody Gardens to see the Azaleas and Rhododendrons in full flower, and they were absolutely beautiful. At the centre we have regular entertainment, games and exercises, and sometimes it is just nice to sit and chat and eat an ice cream! Our cook Jane prepares delicious two course lunches, and we also have Diane the chiropodist come in on a regular basis - we can arrange for a hairdresser if you so wish. If you think you might enjoy doing things like this in the company of our happy band of members, then why not book a ‘taster’ session? You don’t have to be lonely, or in need of care or live on your own (couples are welcome), but if you are of retirement age and would like to give us a go just ‘phone either Dorothy or Carol on a Monday or Thursday between 9.30am and 2.30pm on 01263 861120 and we can tell you all about our wonderful centre and the multitude of lovely things we get up to! email: info@holtchronicle.co.uk To follow that was a very lovely church service with a chaplain to the Queen giving a very amusing sermon, followed by champagne and cake. Thank you one and all.

Inspections welcomed www.norfolkcattery.co.uk THE SECRETS OF THE HOLY GRAIL ONE SMALL STEP We have seen in the Book of Isaiah that those who ‘mourn in Zion... might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord.’ (61.3). And in Psalm one we are told of the ‘law of the Lord’, and ‘the way of the righteous’, Psalm one is one small step from the tree of life, (see numbers 24.6). The tree of life is the most important thing in the Bible, its there at the beginning and at the end its still there: the saints strove to be one with it, it healed sins and turned men into Gods, and gave them eternal life. The mystical Jesus hung upon a resemblance of it, the black river of death could not overcome it, and the knowledge of it was sealed by the saints. The early Christians corrupted the tree but the tree laid in a cave in the Wilderness of Judaea just waiting to be found and that’s what happened in the middle of the last century. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genisis 2:9) was in the cave also.

Norman was born in Woodford Essex in 1930 and worked as a steam fitter on British Rail for many years. After the change to diesel in the early 60’s, he was re-trained but found the fumes caused him illness. The family doctor suggested a new start and in 1968 the family moved to Sheringham where they had enjoyed many holidays. Norman first worked at Kingsland Engineering but hated the indoor factory life, so took a job with Mascot Coaches at Cromer, as a mechanic and there he first learnt to drive a coach. Mascot was taken over by Reynolds Coaches and in the summer of 1975 Norman left Reynolds to join the five coach business of Bennett’s Coaches at Holt. George Bennett unexpectedly told Norman in October of the same year he was going to retire and Norman was worried about his job and income. Having discussed with George what might happen, George again unexpectedly said, “Look Norman, you seem to know what you’re doing, why don’t you take it over?” Norman, who had six children at home and no money said, “I can’t afford to” and George said, “no worries, you can pay me as you go.” At the end of the day on Norman’s 45th birthday he was handed the keys of the six vehicles and Sanders Coaches was born the next morning, the 1st December 1975. Little did he Norman and his late wife Gladys envisage that day how the company would expand and grow over the next 25 years. From the very earliest days Norman always treated local organisations in the town well. On many occasions the local Football and Youth Club would book buses for trips out and would receive bills for the buses but never for the driver if that driver was Norman. And he always took a close interest in the events that those clubs were going to, watching with interest football matches and, on many occasions, acting as draughts referee and score keeper at Youth Club indoor games tournaments! By the year 2000, the company was operating close to 100 vehicles and as other companies dropped rural routes, a way was found to replace them. Norman was passionate about serving his local community and ensuring people’s transport links remained open. He was often to be found out in his car collecting someone, who had mistakenly missed the bus and had an important appointment. Norman and his wife Gladys spent many years personally escorting many of the 50 plus coach holidays and short breaks they arranged each year. Their personal style and delivery of these Holidays was unique and very successful for that reason. Norman hung up his driving gloves on his 80th birthday on 30th November 2010, after what can only be described as a job very well done. The Company he built will go on as a living testimony to his life’s work. Norman leaves 6 children, Valerie, Charles, Andrew, Paul, Mary and Helen, 17 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren who will all miss him very much. Norman’s funeral arrangements will be announced later. www.holtchronicle.co.uk 11 The Holt Chronicle Issue 354 1st July 2016 LLOYD DURHAM FUNERAL SERVICES † Church News † 11a Avenue Road, High Kelling, HOLT, Norfolk.

Hardly a claim to fame but on the morning of my ordination as deacon in 1993 I was cooked a boiled egg by the then Archbishop of York, John Habgood. Together with others who were to be made deacon in York Minster I had spent the night in the Archbishop’s Palace situated on the banks of the River Ouse not far outside of the City. The Palace has been the home of the Archbishop’s of York for over 750 years and one cannot help but be a little over awed by the scale, grandeur and history of the place. Yet, on the morning of my ordination I was taught a lesson that I have never forgotten. Seated around the kitchen table the Archbishop preceded to wait upon us and serve us with boiled eggs and toast. He was very cleverly teaching us that to be made a deacon is to be made a servant of others and even an Archbishop who was once ordained a deacon was still someone who above else was called to serve others. The Archbishop was putting into practice Jesus’ words in teaching his disciples to follow his example when he said, “I am among you as one who serves.” Here in the parish we are of course looking forward to the ordination of Stephen Graham as a deacon on Saturday 2nd July by Bishop Graham in Norwich Cathedral and to his first day in the parish on Sunday 3rd July. Stephen will serve the first year of at least 3 years here as a deacon and will be ordained priest in 2017. 2107. Deacons existed in the early church of the New Testament and have remained part of the life of the Church. A deacon is a ministry that is associated with service of some kind, in fact the word deacon is from a Greek word meaning servant. As a deacon Stephen will be involved in all areas of parish life, visiting, pastoral care, working with children, young people and families, preaching, teaching, leading worship, taking funerals and celebrating baptisms. He will also have a distinct roll in assisting with the Sunday services, though as a deacon he will not preside at the communion service.. The Church of England belongs to the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church,” which we affirm in the words of the Creed Sunday by Sunday. It is also expressed in the sacramental life of the Church and in the ancient threefold order of ministry of Bishop, Priests and Deacons. To be ordained into ministry is to answer God’s call to serve him in a particular way and is an immense privilege. Stephen has answered God’s call and I look forward to welcoming him to the Parish to continue his training serving as a deacon and then as a priest. I have no doubt the people of the parish will also warmly welcome him and be blessed by his ministry among us.

The club has never held a rally in Norfolk before so is looking forward to a great day with some superb cherished registrations guaranteed to be on view. Entrants will be split into eleven classes as usual with registrations voted on by members themselves. Winners and runners-up will be awarded trophies. In memory of the late Noel Woodall, well known in autonumerology circles, an award will once again be presented to recognise Noel’s considerable contribution to this fascinating subject. The Registration Numbers Club was established in 1997 at a time of crisis for cherished numbers when the licensing authority began refusing transfers and causing misery for many. Registrations which had been owned for many years, numbers which had been passed down from previous generations were in danger of being lost in the hands of the bureaucrats. Thankfully, today, cherished registrations are just an interesting part of today’s modern motoring and buying, selling and transferring them very simple thanks to the digital revolution. The Registration Numbers Club is independent and nationwide and is dedicated to the right to hold and transfer a cherished vehicle registration mark ..... a right which has been in existence since 1903!

His book ‘Drawn to North Norfolk’ is now available in a printed version of his sketchbook, with 120 pen and ink sketches of the North Norfolk Coast from Hunstanton to Happisburgh. The book took nine months to complete. David moved back to Norfolk a couple of years ago having spent the last forty years on the south coast, where his reputation as a prolific painter has given him a large following. Whilst living in Worthing, West Sussex he opened three galleries and was one of the founders of The East Beach Studios in Worthing. His book signing in Driftwood Gallery, 9-11 Church Street, Sheringham on the 2nd July also previews his first exhibition in Norfolk for 20 years. Called Birds Beasts and the Bizarre, it opens at Oddfellows Hall, Lifeboat Plain, Sheringham on 19th July till 24th July, 10.00am till twilight. Currently, you may see David down on the seafront in Sheringham, where he has been painting on the sea wall a mural of the Neolithic age to commemorate the finding of a mammoth in the local cliffs.

SPECIALISING IN LONG DISTANCE JOURNEYS All good things are worth waiting for and with asparagus, you certainly do have to be patient .... 3 years from planting to the first crop. The vegetable has a rich and long history, going back to the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, all of whom revered its qualities and taste. What I love about this vegetable is that it truly is seasonal .... we only get British asparagus between May and June, a very short window of opportunity to enjoy its delights, but what a delicious return for our patience! We really don’t have to wait for anything in our modern technological age .... all things, it seems, are immediate, which rather takes some of the fun out of life. The joy of anticipation is something we should guard more carefully. Now I know that asparagus is not exactly a cheap veg, but that is no reason why we should not enjoy it, for there are ways and means of partaking of this King of vegetables within our budgets. Soup makes a little go a long way and this recipe is also incredibly quick and easy to do, using very basic and cheap ingredients, so why not indulge a little and treat yourself to a bunch of asparagus before it disappears from our shelves? As ever, shop around, as most of the supermarkets are doing deals whilst it is in season. Transporting clients safely and comfortably to destinations anywhere in the UK and Europe.

John reminds us that we are each called to bear witness in our own way. He is well known and respected by many globally, not just here in Norfolk where he and his wife Sue live. A fascinating speaker and accomplished writer, John delivers the truth of the gospel with humour and encouragement. It will be a very enjoyable evening. John brings a richness from his life experience. Having been educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford he received his business training at Harvard and PWC. As a bachelor of 32 with an E-Type Jaguar it seemed as if a brilliant career lay before him; but at this point he had a dramatic conversion experience which was the prelude to a period of tribulation balanced by many great blessings. Businesses collapsed, he went through the desert experience of two years unemployment, he had cancer twice and finally the undeserved humiliation of prison. Throughout these trials and afflictions John’s sense of humour has never left him. The joy of the Lord has been his strength. John founded the St Matthews Housing Association which provided housing for the homeless in over 80 houses in East Anglia. He is also a Lay Reader in the Church of England and a member of the College of Evangelists Emeritus instituted by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. The Filling Station, which was born out of the Church of England in the West Country, has grown exponentially in terms of venues opening all over the United Kingdom and continues to serve and refresh both Church leaders, congregations and more importantly to open the eyes of those who are seeking answers to the meaning of life through the Christian faith. The Filling Station is helping to bring unity amongst believers from across the whole Church spectrum. So do come and join us on Monday 27th June for an evening of fellowship, wonderful worship followed by the main talk. There will also be a time for prayer ministry at the end of the evening. Please feel able to arrive from 7.00pm for coffee, cakes and chat, for a 7.30pm start at Swanton Novers Village Hall, St. Giles Road, Swanton Novers, Melton Constable NR24 2RB. Contact Sabine Leese at nnfillingstation@gmail.com or telephone 07765 487702 for further information. Asparagus Soup 1 bunch asparagus, chopped - see method 1 white onion, finely chopped 6-8 new potatoes chopped into small chunks Olive oil Veg stock cube ½ mug porridge oats Boiling water Seasoning Break off just the ends of the asparagus (not the tip end) - it should break cleanly, not bend, and you want to use the maximum amount of stalk, so try not to lose too much - if the asparagus is very fresh, you may be able to use the whole stalk. Chop into 1 inch lengths and set aside. Place the onion in a deep saucepan with the potato and a good slug of olive oil and gently sweat the veg over a medium heat, without allowing them to catch or burn, for about 5 mins. Add in the asparagus and sweat for a further 2 mins whilst you boil the kettle. Add in enough boiling water to cover the veg and crumble in the stock cube, give a good stir and cover to simmer until the potatoes are cooked - about 10 mins. Add in the oats halfway through, season and stir well. Once all cooked, blitz with a hand blender until silky smooth, check seasoning and serve immediately with a good hunk of bread and a swirl of cream if desired. This keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days, but you may need to thin it down a little when reheating, as the oats can cause it to slightly set.

It had been a busy week for the council, with the Holt in Bloom community planting day, ready for judging on 11th July, and on the 12th June the street party in Church Street celebrating the Queen’s 90th birthday. The meeting decided after a lot of debate and discussion to employ one full time and one part time maintenance personnel. The hope is that this will enable us to improve the surroundings of Holt and have more control over cutting of the verges etc. The Town Council will purchase a Kabuto vehicle to help with this and hopefully this time next year the town will see the results of having the extra help. It was also the time for the Council to award some grants for good causes in Holt. The Grants awarded were as follows:Holt Bowls Club £ 300 The Holt Friday Club £ 350 1960s Club £ 350 Holt Citizens Advice £ 350 Holt Playing Fields £1,000 We are hoping to have another round of grant funding around Christmas time. Nearer the end of the year we will announce when and how. Councillors were saddened to hear that there has been some more vandalism at the Church Street toilets. There is a cost implication to the constant damage that is taking place here and we would ask everyone to be vigilant and report anything suspicious to the Police on 101. Cllrs Prior and High reported that the need for a new primary school has been accepted by the County Council. The project will start in earnest with a feasibility study and options for sites are being looked at now. It was also agreed to go ahead, in conjunction with the WI, and refurbish the Town sign. Weather and the ensuing years have taken their toll on the sign and it will be good to have it restored with the brass plate explaining the sign moved to the front, along with a new flower planter. The future aim would be to design a new sign and maybe even a new position. The next Town Council meeting is on 11th July. All are welcome and there will be a chance for you to have your say. Look forward to seeing you there. Completely renovated and equipped to the highest standards the old surgery and solicitors offices on the corner of Augusta Street and Church Road in Sheringham have been transformed by Randell’s Healthcare into a fantastic new suite of treatment rooms. Along with employment, this new facility will offer much more than just foot-care, though it must be said Randell’s have led the way for many years with their seven clinics successfully sharing their facilities with additional practitioners such as Osteopaths, now they will provide a truly enhanced range of services. Randell’s Footcare have been at the forefront of podiatry services in Norfolk for many years, providing first class foot-care to thousands of people of all ages and differing problems. As well as routine podiatry they also have specialist skills in sports care, so much so they keep our local premiership sides feet nice and healthy throughout the season. But sports podiatry can be more than just foot ailments, in some cases a specialist assessment from one of their podiatrists can help improve performance regardless of the sport. As well as the vast range of foot-care services the new Centre in Sheringham will host new specialists including an Osteopath helping ease problems with backs, a team of Nurse specialists will have clinics providing an exciting range of services including Botox treatments and travel support, whereas other practitioners will include Acupuncture, Reflexology, a Life Coach, Counselling, a Nutritionist, Sports Therapy, a Hypnotherapist, and Holistic Massage with a Bowen Technique specialist, providing their enhanced services. Other therapists and practitioners will add their skills in the future though at the moment Randell’s are particularly seeking a Physiotherapist to join the team. The new health centre provided by Randell’s Healthcare is unique in offering so many services under the one roof and will no doubt enhance the quality of life for many people in Sheringham and the surrounding area. Company Director and Podiatrist Steve Randell said, “I’m so thrilled we are able to bring such a fantastic treatment centre to this wonderful town of Sheringham and we all look forward to sharing our skills with our service users.” Becky Knowles Randell’s Business manager said though she has been rushed off her feet getting everything together she is encouraged that clinics were ‘filling up fast’. The full range of treatments and services available from the new centre can be found on their website; www.randellshealthcare.co.uk or telephone; 01263 732959. RELIGIOUS EXAM HOWLERS Can you imagine the nun sitting at her desk, marking these papers, all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain her composure! Pay special attention to the wording and spelling. Children were asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. The following statements were written by children. They have not been corrected. Incorrect spelling has been left in. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world so he took the Sabbath off. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah’s wife was Joan of Ark. Noah built and Ark and the animals came in pears. Lot’s wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night. The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic Genitals. Sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah. Samson slayed the Philistines with the Axe of the Apostles. Moses led the Jews to the Red sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread without any ingredients.

Then call Caroline on 01263 712177 to advertise here The Bowen Technique, which seems too gentle to have any effect, can help with problems from backache and migraine to sciatica and frozen shoulder, often when medicine can’t. There are now a thousand practitioners in Britain, and it has a diverse fan base, including celebrities. Most patients come to Bowen with a musculo-skeletal problem: typically backache, frozen shoulder or sports injuries. A treatment lasts 60 minutes, is done through loose fitting clothing whilst laying on a treatment couch or seated. I will lightly move over muscles and the surrounding connective tissues at specific points, many on the back, legs and neck. The pressure is no more than you could apply to the eyeball. Bowen therapists work on the fascia, the connective tissue that wraps around muscles, which we believe can become twisted and cause pain, often somewhere else as the body compensates for the original injury. It would compare to someone wearing a shirt and twisting the left-hand corner of it, you would see the material stretching, that’s where the tension is, and it would feel uncomfortable. What we do to release the tension is unwind that twisting. The body is not a pile of bones stacked on top of bones: it’s a series of tensions. Increasingly GPs now refer patients to Bowen Therapists. “I tend to be sceptical of such things, but after trying everything for my own sciatica, Bowen was the only treatment that worked,” says GP Dr Claire Pickin, who went on to train in Bowen. “I began suggesting it to patients with musculo-skeletal pain and those for whom I had nothing else to offer from mainstream medicine. It more often helped than didn’t. What I think happens is that it sends the body into a deep state of resting so the muscle tension is spontaneously released. Bowen is gentle and without side effects. So often GPs dismiss older people in pain, saying they have to expect that with age but Bowen was a great lesson to me, you can help the healing power of the body so people can lead a normal life again.” For appointments with your local Bowen practitioner, Cornelis van der Does BTAA BAUK, please contact The Holt Consulting Rooms on 01263 711712, Cornelis on 07944 099135 or email bowenclinicnorfolk@gmail. com.

NR25 6QJ REFLECTIONS ON 2016 ANGLIAN NATIONAL PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM from Tim Charles For almost 40 years, I have been coming to Walsingham on pilgrimage, either to the Anglican National, New Dawn or alone. It was only this year that I realised the origins of the Anglican National. When Alfred Patten first encouraged pilgrimages to Walsingham, the shrine was in St Mary’s church but it was decided that the shrine church containing the Holy House, was a more suitable place to house the shrine. So it was that the statue was moved from the church to the shrine with great ceremony one Whitsun bank holiday. The Whitsun weekend became the annual commemoration of the event and, when Spring Bank Holiday overtook the Whitsun bank holiday, so the National also took place on Spring bank holiday. Although we live close, I arranged a room for a couple of nights in Walsingham to allow my cousin Jackie to have a taste of the National whilst, also, having a bolt hole if needed. One personal attraction is the traditional hymns being sung with such gusto as well as seeing the clergy in all their attire. Another personal pleasure was meeting a long term friend, Fr Michael Silver. We had met at my first visit to Walsingham having previously, in Easter week 1978, met at the Anglo Catholic renewal week held at Loughborough University. I have always been able to confide in him and, although we haven’t seen each other for a few years, I felt privileged that he still prays for my daughter and I whenever he says mass. So it was a happy, relaxed day, meeting old friends and making new friends both in the street and over meals. I never seem to get to do everything I want to but that gives me an excuse to come again.

The speaker was Sarah Jackson. Sarah described her work as a midwife for Medecin Sans Frontieres (MSF) in Ethiopia, at Waheer, close to the Somali Border. MSF receives no government funding, relies entirely on charitable gifting, and works specifically in regions and zones where warfare and violence generate particular hardship and need, often exposing its personnel to significant risk. Sarah reported that MSF has, since its inception in the early ‘70’s, worked in eighty different countries and has treated millions of patients, many of whom could have had access to no other medical care. Sarah’s described her location as remote to the extent that both patients attending her clinic, and also those who might well have benefitted from onward referral for surgical management, would face several days of difficult travel. Such journeys would not be covered by adequate pain relief and would further compromise outcomes for both mother and child. Provision of care in such circumstances was further complicated by inadequate supplies of clean water, a lack of sterilisation facilities for instruments and equipment, and by malnutrition of mothers and infants. Prioritising management required concern for and understanding of the wider family and the importance of a mother’s health to the survival of elder siblings. The clinic was sometimes attended by soldiers and armed men, including boys, and by the sound of gunfire which had to be correctly attributed as due to either celebration or conflict. There was a risk of kidnap by the Al-Shabaab (AL_Quaeda-linked) terrorist group. The staff of the clinic depended on local sources for information about the level of these risks. Sarah also trained local midwives to deal with difficult childbirths in a culture where most deliveries are aided by neighbours and where infant mortality rates are 60 % and the frequency of death in childbirth of a 15 year old mother is 7,500 times greater than it is in Europe. Her audience was deeply impressed by Sarah’s articulate and riveting account of her experiences, by her willingness to accept the stress of such responsibilities, and by her inspiring example of service to common humanity. A collection was made for a donation to MSF. Should others wish to support the work of Medecin Sans Frontieres, donation on line is possible at uk.fundraising@london.msf.org.

Devolution: Yet again, by the time you read this edition of The Holt Chronicle, the situation regarding devolution will have changed and that is the one thing of which I am certain regarding the whole process. You can find some detail on the following website which I am told is regularly updated - www.eastangliadevo.co.uk. What I do know is that at the Council meeting on 27th June whatever proposal by then is on the table will be considered and with the council’s agreement will go out for public consultation. If all goes according to plan the results of the public consultation would be reported at the end of August and, in accordance with the legislative process, passed to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. The Secretary of State would then draft an Order which would come back to the Council for decision at the October Council meeting. Cranmer House: The services provided at Cranmer House Fakenham are much appreciated and change that is is taking place is understandably causing concern. For detailed information as to these changes go to: http://www.northnorfolkccg.nhs.uk/ and I would encourage anyone with views to express them on: nnccg.contactus@ nhs.net or write to: North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group, 1 Mill Close, Aylsham, Norfolk NR11 6LZ. In addition the health and social care commissioners will be asking for the views and comments from local people and other interested parties. County Councillor Dr Marie Strong, Wells Division (Glaven, Priory & Walsingham Wards), Chair Broadband & Mobile ‘Phone Working Group, Chair Coastal Flood Working Group. Marie.strong@norfolk.gov.uk or 07920 286597 from County Councillor Dr. Marie Strong Summer arrived in time for the Queen’s birthday celebrations no need to go to London with all the lovely events around our division (and I am sure elsewhere). Congratulations to everyone for all their efforts in bringing their communities together and a big thank you from those who, like me, just turned up and had a great time. Better Broadband (Fibre) for Langham: I am delighted to confirm that fibre broadband went live in Langham at the beginning of May. Whilst I know some residents have already transferred to fibre I am uncertain as to whether the news of availability is widespread but courtesy of the GVN it will be shortly. To check if your property is fibre enabled go to www.betterbroadbandnorfolk.co.uk; if the answer is yes follow the instructions to check what speeds and providers are available. I need to note that distance from the cabinet dictates which properties fibre reaches and what speed residents will be able to receive. Better Broadband (Fibre) for Stody: I am equally pleased to confirm that fibre broadband has reached a number of properties in Stody and therefore the above information applies. I am told that 15 properties have available speeds above 15 Mbps (13 of them in the range of 24 Mbps). Whilst some properties are too far away from the cabinet to be enabled, further fibre is planned so more news at a later time. Existing Copper Broadband: Please remember whilst to obtain fibre broadband you need to form a contract with an ISP (internet service provider) it is not compulsory and you can reman with your existing copper provision. If you would prefer to remain but are not satisfied the advice remains that you need to complain to your provider; urge them to provide whatever you have contracted to receive. If there is no improvement issue them with a formal, recorded, complaint. Parish Partnership: A reminder about this very useful partnership. It is the scheme whereby a town or parish council puts forward an application for a project, say a SAM2 speed warning system, and the county matches the funding. Other ideas include trods (simple footway), small lengths of formal footways, improved crossing facilities, street furniture (cycle racks/benches at bus stops), Public rights of Way improvements. And as well as councils getting their thinking caps on, there’s no reason why residents could not put ideas to their town and parish councils. The 2016/17 successful schemes are now underway and invitations to make bids for 2017/18 have been issued with a bid deadline of December with approvals next March.

The service, launched in June 2015, has had a busy year with an increase in patients accessing the service and now more volunteers are needed for the North Norfolk coast. ‘Settle-in’ volunteers meet people as they return home from hospital and carry out some simple checks around the house. They can also arrange for people to be helped or referred to other services where necessary including the Red Cross Support at Home service which can offer ongoing support. This special volunteering role can slot in around an individual’s work or other commitments. Jo Barber, personal assistant to Jeremy Over the Director of Workforce at the NNUH, is a settle-in volunteer and regularly settles people back into their own homes after their stay in hospital. Jo joined the Trust 11 years ago as a PA and joined the settle-in service in April. “I saw the role advertised at work and thought why not give it a try as it means I can give something back, and I can fit this in around my working week”, she says. Mabel Anderson, 80 from Sheringham, was Jo’s first settle in patient. Mabel recently had her first ever stay in hospital and explains the benefit of a settle in service volunteer. “I found the prospect of returning home with no one to greet me quite daunting and worried if I had anything in to eat or what the state of my fridge was like!” explained Mabel; “Jo was an absolute godsend and we need more people like her. Knowing I had someone to greet me and help get me settled made coming out of hospital a lot less worrying and much easier. I am really thankful I had someone like Jo.” The settle-in service role is the first volunteering role that Jo has taken on and she is thoroughly enjoying it. Jo explains you do not need to have a medical background to fulfil the role and it is a great opportunity for those wishing to help people, especially the elderly who are often on their own. To register your interest or to find out more information please contact the Volunteering Office by emailing volunteers@nnuh.nhs.uk or telephone 01603 286060. LOVEART COMPETITION EACH are inviting local artists to enter an Art Competition to raise funds for the nook appeal. The LoveArt Competition will be centred around the theme of love, a topic bound to bring out some very expressive and interesting pieces. An auction of art, showcasing all the entries, will take place at the beautiful Mannington Hall and Gardens on Sunday 4th September. The nook appeal is our vision to transform palliative care throughout Norfolk. Our current hospice in Quidenham, has been a fantastic home-fromhome for many years. However, we have outgrown the building. We are unable to make structural changes and we have had an increase in demand over the last few years. We have issues with wheelchair space, and many services are either restricted or unavailable compared to the other hospices. This is why we want to raise money to launch a new hospice called ‘the nook’ which will be situated just south of Norwich. It will be closer to local hospitals and amenities, far bigger and will have more services. If you would like to enter the LoveArt Competition, entry forms and competition rules are available at www.each.org.uk/the-nook/events/ loveart-competition or contact Peter Herring by email on pfherring@ btinternet.com or telephone 07876 508747. The deadline for receiving entries is the 15th August.

Contrary to appearances, both free Rs are promotees, the black R having almost returned to base for a Phoenix. On No.187 last time, one solver commented, “Lovely little problem with Rückkehr” (out and back) “by both Ns.” In No.189 above, both game scores are the same for the first four moves, then each variation shows a promotion theme we have seen before in this series.

North Norfolk Photographic Society held the second of its Annual Competitions on Wednesday 1st June. Most Camera Clubs hold ‘Annual’ competitions, where their members are invited to vie for the ‘best of the best’ for the year, and having previously held the contest for projected pictures, it was now the turn of the prints. Judge for the day was Dave Stewart (above right), a professional photographer from Peterborough, who amazingly has a passion for photography that still allows him to give up his evening to travel from his home to judge in Holt. The competition was in two groups: for so-called novices (many really not novices at all) and advanced members. Nine members entered the ‘Novice’ section and Dave Stewart thought five of their entries worth putting to one side for a second look. In the end, Rob Palethorpe’s ‘Late Sun at Cley’ (below) was the winner - the Mill and marshes brightly lit by the sun under a dark, brooding sky. Michaela Bone was 2nd with ‘Heathland Reflections’ and Grace Glaister 3rd with ‘Emma’. The Advanced section drew 22 competitors who entered a total of 61 prints, 7 of which were put to one side and from which Dave decided Paul Richards’ ‘Black-winged Stilt’ (above) as the winner, the bird beautifully captured against a pastel coloured background. Alan Dedman’s ‘Stalking the Seagulls’ 2nd, David Tottman’s ‘Becalmed’ 3rd (above left). Meetings of the North Norfolk Photographic Society are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month from 7.30pm in the Holt Community Centre. For further details please contact the club Secretary, Judith Wells at secretary.nnps@gmail.com. HOLT CRICKET CLUB LOCAL FORTHCOMING SATURDAY CRICKET FIXTURES Narborough CC vs Holt CC Holt 162-7 lost to Narborough 163-5 by 5 wickets 2nd July Ten man Holt suffered a five wicket loss in their latest league encounter away at league leaders Narborough. Holt reached 162-7 from their 45 overs, with the key contributions for Holt coming from number three Kevin Moore (42), opener Aaron Riseborough (34), on debut for Holt, and captain Ciaron Chapman (31). Narborough successfully chased down 163 in 40 overs, five wickets down, with contributions coming from all of their batsmen with none getting above the thirties. Robin Thaxter (1-21), Mark Scase (1-28), Liam Channell (1-32) and Aaron Riseborough (1-37) all took a wicket apiece for Holt. 9th July 16th July 23rd July Holt CC vs Beetley CC Holt 164-4 beat Beetley 101 all out by 63 runs 30th July It was a great result for Holt in their latest league encounter at home to Beetley and was a good all-round team performance. After losing the toss and being put into bat first, Holt’s openers Aaron Riseborough and Mark Spillett put on a vital opening partnership worth 120 runs. Boundaries didn’t come regularly, but they kept the score ticking with ones and twos and, after both batsmen had brought up their fifties, Spillett (50) was trapped lbw. Kevin Moore joined Riseborough, but ten runs into their partnership, Riseborough’s top knock came to an end on 72, when he was caught at cover. After losing Moore (4) and Liam Channell (5) in quick succession, Ciaron Chapman (13*) and Dan Thomas (11*) saw Holt through to 164-4 off their 45 overs. After the interval, Holt’s opening bowlers Robin Thaxter and George Collyer were looking for early wickets. Collyer (2-28) dismissed both openers and Thaxter then got himself in the wickets column. Beetley then added 22 runs for the fourth wicket. With Liam Channell (4-14).

Either your parents or grandparents were living during this time SERIOUS COLLISION APPEAL, FAKENHAM Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious collision in West Barsham, near Fakenham, on the evening of Monday 13th June. At around 6.00pm, a red Vauxhall Adam was travelling from Fakenham towards Wells-next-the-Sea when it was in collision with a telegraph pole, before coming to rest in a ditch, facing the opposite direction. Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information concerning the driving manner of the vehicle prior to the collision. Both the driver and the front seat passenger received serious internal injuries as a result of the collision and are currently in a critical but stable condition in Addenbrookes Hospital. Anyone with information should contact PC Louise Manning, Swaffham Roads Policing on 101. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the year 1915 The average life expectancy for men was 47 years. Fuel for cars was sold in chemists only. Only 14 percent of homes had a bath. Only 8 percent of homes had a telephone. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average British wage in 1915 was £15 per year! A competent accountant could expect to earn £800 per year. A dentist £900 per year. A vet between £600 and £900 per year. And, a mechanical engineer about £2000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births took place at home. 90% of all Doctors had no university education! Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and the government as ‘substandard’. Sugar cost two pence a pound. Eggs were 10 pence a dozen. Coffee was five pence a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason. The five leading causes of death were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhoea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30. Crossword puzzles, canned beer and iced tea hadn’t been invented yet. There was neither a Mother’s Day nor a Father’s Day. Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write and, only 6 percent of all British pupils went to university. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at local corner chemists. Back then chemists said, “Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach, bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health!” 18% of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help. There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.A.! In 2014 this figure had risen to 14,249. In the UK the murder rate in 1915 was 1420. In 2015 it was 537. Can you imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. APPEAL FOLLOWING BURGLARY IN FAKENHAM Police are appealing for information following a burglary in Fakenham. A property in Rudham Stile Lane was broken into between 12.15pm and 5.00pm on Wednesday 15th June and some jewellery was stolen.

Butcher Andrews More true life experiences Having searched the herbs and spices section in my local supermarket, I stopped a young sales assistant and asked her, “Do you sell cloves?” “Yeah,” she replied, “But there’s only T-shirts.” At the supermarket I noticed a woman with four boys and a baby. Her patience was wearing thin as the boys persistently called out “MUMMY!”while she tried to shop. Finally, she blurted, “I don’t want to hear the word ‘Mummy’ for at least ten minutes!” The boys fell silent for a few seconds. Then one tugged on his mother’s dress and said softly, “Excuse me, Miss.” I got talking to a lovely elderly couple at the supermarket, but subsequently missed my bus. As I walked home, a car pulled up. Seeing it was the old people, I got in. They looked at each other, then asked where I was going. When we reached my house, I thanked them and enquired if they’d much further to go. “Not really,” they replied. “We were outside our door when you got in.” Your North Norfolk Solicitors Matrimonial & Family Divorce - Separaaon Unmarried couples Pre-Nuppal Agreements Children Arrangements Collaboraave Law Holt: 01263 712023 email: info@holtchronicle.co.uk by It’s widely recognised that using a silk pillowcase can help to prevent the dreaded bad hair day look!
