When it comes todrafting a shortpiece for Page 3 ofthe paper, itseems all too easyto fall into acommonjournalistic trapand pick a recent‘bad news’ story tocomment on – andin fact I had beensaving up a fewnegative issueswhich do reallyjustify a bit more exposure – notleast two planned hikes that clobberthat most beleaguered of species –the motorist.There is no doubt that in theseincreasingly energy scarce times, weknow that cars are a hugely wastefuland in some ways selfish way ofgetting around. In mitigation, publictransport provision, and particularlypublic transport in rural parts of thecountry like Norfolk has been steadilydiminishing since Beechingdecimated the railways, for those ofyou who can remember that far back.So it seems particularly cynical tocontinue with plans to increase thetax on what is already the mostheavily taxed fuel in Europe, in therecent budget. It also seems unjustas we look out on glorious weather inthe run up to Easter to confirm plansto increase the parking fees in NorthNorfolk, since businesses, touristsand residents are dependent onaccessible car parking and theDistrict already turn a tidy profit onits parking charges.However, apart from the gloriousweather, there was a wonderfulexample of ‘multi agencycollaboration’ a week or so ago whena building behind Mount Street inCromer collapsed, trapping a builderwaist deep in rubble. Altogetherthere were 14 – yes 14 – branches ofvarious services in attendance, all

seemingly totally coordinated! Theseincluded, amongst others, NorfolkPolice & CID, East of EnglandAmbulance, Air Ambulance,Hazardous Area Response Team RAFWattisham 22 squadron, AARCC RAFKinloss Scotland, Norfolk FS RetainedCromer Rescue Pump, NFS Carrowheavy rescue pump, NFS USAR USARUrban Search & Rescue, NFS USARCanine Transport, NNDCenvironmental health team and

health safety executive. Pictured arethe two air ambulances. The builderluckily only suffered from a brokenarm and shoulder – but Cromer wasnearly as busy as on Carnival Day,what with assorted services, and lotsof onlookers.

to enjoy an evening out in thecountry.Alison Thomas, Cabinet Memberfor Children’s Services at NorfolkCounty Council, said: “The youngpeople on this project are seizingthe opportunity to learn moreabout gardening, food andcookery. This is a fantastic schemethat gets them outdoorsdeveloping skills that will be withthem for life and which could benurtured into a range of careers.It is great to see Holt Hall’s teamworking within the localcommunity to widen the learningopportunities already available atthe hall and we are grateful toHenry Watt for giving Norfolk’sstudents access to this greatopportunity.”

Glynis Killington, Manager ofTaverham High School’s ACECentre, added: “The project is anextremely positive part of schoollife for this group of boys, theygain so much from it. Workingtogether, supporting each other,learning skills for life, working withmany different materials. They willalso be helping local artist PeterTalbot to create a lasting piece ofartwork which will be thecentrepiece for the garden.”

Ctd from page 1create their very own garden andwatch it evolve whilst learning afew cooking skills from Andy andhis team is hugely rewarding for usall at The Hunny Bell.”The young people are all studentsat Taverham’s ACE Centre, whichworks with students needingalternative education provision.The group visits the garden everyFriday, alongside the Roots andShoots team from Holt HallEnvironmental and OutdoorLearning Centre. The Roots andShoots team has already recreatedthe Victorian walled garden at HoltHall and is using the Hunny Bellproject to reach a new group ofyoung people. Those taking partwill work towards a Level Onequalification in horticulture calledThe Step Up Course. They willlearn about how to design theirown garden, grow their own fruit,vegetables and herbs and cookthem.It is also hoped customers at thepub will also be inspired by theproject, giving them ideas on howto develop their own gardens andproviding a relaxing place for them

Dear EditorOne of your loyal readers may beable to answer a very simplequestion that so far our local garages

cannot give me. I recently had mycar successfully get its MOT, withouthaving to spend any more than thenormal fee (i.e. Passed first time witha clean bill of health). My simplequestion is this: Why do they notcontinue to provide a label to go onone's windscreen so that we can seewhen the next MOT is due. It workedbefore so why change it? They sendus reminders of when the tax is dueand some garages will post off areminder for the MOT when it is due,not all sadly. So, please why can wenot have a reminder for our MOT togo on the windscreen? It workedbefore, why change it?RegardsPhilip KeddellMundesley

Norfolk LoreStorms atSheringhamIn the past Sheringham was moreobviously two communities;Upper Sheringham, a prosperousagricultural community, andLower Sheringham, a poorerfishing community. This is not ofcourse true today – if not I amsure the inhabitants of bothplaces will soon provide NorfolkLore with any correctionsnecessary to this introduction.However the focus in this editionis a legend connected with theperhaps more superstitiousfishing community.A little way to seaward ofSheringham is a spot where thecaptain of a ship drowned when hisship foundered in a storm. Over theyears that followed fishermenworking in this area reported hearinga human voice coming up from thewater. Even when they pulled awayfrom the sound it appeared to follow

On 17th March 2012, a brand new‘local produce’ market launched inthe picturesque village ofFulmodeston. There were a total of24 traders offering everything frommeats, vegetables, bread and piesto handmade chocolates, sconesand cupcakes through to coffeebeans, handmade soaps, plants andNorfolk hedgerow & willow baskets.Around 500 visitors attended,despite the poor weather, andseveral traders sold out of theirproduce within 2 hours of themarket opening. Many thanks to all

who attended the market in March - Ihope you all enjoyed it and wentaway with some excellent produce.Following on from the huge successof this community market, the nextmarket has been booked for 21st

April 2012 from 10am until 2pm atthe Old School Hall in Fulmodeston.I have taken on board somecomments received from customersand in April, I hope to have anoutdoor seating area, providing the

them. With each attempt to move thesound became louder and seemedcloser until the last despairing crycame from immediately beneath theboat.Experience soon developed that thedrowned voice was only heard beforea particularly vicious squall or arapidly approaching and heavy stormthat would endanger the boat andher crew. Some fishermen heededthe warning and rowed for their livesback to shore usually only reaching

safety in the nick of time. Thoseknown to have worked their boats inthe particular place but not return toshore before the bad weather struckwere either never seen again or theirbodies washed ashore a few dayslater farther along the coast.This is just one of the legendswarning seafarers of dangerousstorms in the Sheringham area, moreof them next time and the links theyhave to wider North Norfolk Lore.

‘Ship-shape’ andEast CoastFashionThe volunteers of the NationalCoastwatch Institution’s (NCI)Mundesley Station turned out in forceon Saturday 24 March to witness theformal opening of the refurbishedstation conducted by Norman LambMP.NCI Mundesley opened in 1995 underthe leadership of Richard May, aretired Master Mariner and currentlyLife Chairman of the Station, and wasthe second station opened by thenational charity. NCI was formed bya group in Cornwall following the lossof two fishermen within sight of thecoast off Bass Point. The lessonlearned from the tragedy was that avisual watch over the coast andcoastal waters could stillmake a vitalcontribution to safetyand the overalleffectiveness of theSearch and Rescueorganisation. CaptainMay set aboutestablishing a lookout atMundesley and with theassistance of MundesleyParish Council, the newNCI Station openedabove what is probably the country’ssmallest Maritime Museum.The purpose of any NCI Station is tospot an incident, plot it on a chartand report it to HM Coastguard.Today NCI has 46 stations and wellover 1000 volunteers around thecoast of England and Wales andcontinues to re-open old CoastguardStations or establish new lookouts

where they will be of most use.Locally a new station is beingdeveloped at East Runton. In parallelwith the developments nationally NCIMundesley hasdeveloped considerablysince first opening. Thestation quickly attractedsufficient volunteers toopen 365 days a yearfrom 0800 – 1800 hrseach day and today hasover 50 volunteers eachundertaking at least one2 hour watch eachweek. Volunteers aregiven comprehensivetraining and come fromall walks of life.In 1999 NCI Mundesley achievedDeclared Facility Status (DFS),recognition by HM Coastguard of thecompetence of the station tointegrate with the national Searchand Rescue organisation, and in 2009

received the QueensAward for VoluntaryService.The refurbishment hasincluded completereplacement of thelookout windows,improvements to theinternal layout andworking environmentof the lookout,installation of updated

electronics and complete re-decoration. Although the newwindows required specialist fitting theremainder of the work has beencompleted by the members overseenby former Station Manager Ray Amoand current Station Manager JohnCarpenter and funded by grant fromthe Norfolk Community Fund/Scira inaddition to the funds raised fromdonations and collections.

Norman Lamb congratulated thestation members on the successfulrefurbishment and spoke of hisadmiration for the group, their

genuine communityservice and the valuablecontribution made to theSearch and Rescueorganisation. He alsothanked Richard May forhis foresight inestablishing NCIMundesley. In hisresponse Richardacknowledged theprivilege of working withso many committedvolunteers over the

years.Following the ceremonial ribboncutting Norman Lamb was given atour of the lookout and afterwardsmet more NCI Mundesley volunteersassembled at the appropriatelynamed and conveniently close ShipInn.NCI Mundesley:www.nci-mundesley.org.ukNCI:www.nci.org.uk

ReviewsThe Coast ChoirSongs of the SeaCromer Parish Church

This choir presented a programme ofsongs and reading which formed partof the global Coast ‘Art and the Sea’run by the Sainsbury Centre forVisual Arts University of East Anglia.The choir were also very active withinthe Cromer and Sheringham COASTFestivals for 2010 and 2011.Opening the concert the choirproduced vocally the sounds of thesea breaking on the shore andreceding back disturbing the shingleand in doing so produced a veryeffective accompaniment to the firstsong ‘Na He’ sung by Sian Croose.The programme, consisting of songsand readings culminating into aunique, emotional and awe inspiringexperience, especially the readingsfrom Cyril Jolly’s book ‘Henry Bloggof Cromer’ relating to the heroicrescues by Blogg and his crew. Thereadings describing their braverywere so poignant, especially beingenhanced with such appropriatesongs of the sea between eachreading.The introduction to the songs fromthe choir were often set by a solo

voice creating a rhythmic pulse forthe singers to reciprocate which wasso very effective.This concert, which was so wellattended being a tribute to HenryBlogg of Cromer and to his gallantcrews, was directed by Sian Crooseand Jonathan Baker with guitar andtambura by Adrian Lever.It was a pity that there was nointroduction to the concert nor wasthere any appreciative closure thiswonderful happening deserved.

These two young artists proved tobe, despite their ages, at a very highstandard of musical performance,displaying mature interpretations ofall the works performed today.Beethoven’s Sonata No 8 in G MajorOpus 30 written (1801-2), Schubert’sRondo in B Minor (1826). After theinterval Debussy’s Sonata in G MinorL140 full in rich harmonies and tonecolours, mystery in using the wholetone scale creating an overall feelingof melancholy, perhaps

understandably, as it was the lastwork he completed before his death;Enescu’s Sonata No 3 in A MinorOpus 25 written in 1926 in threemovements portrayed musicalpictures of the plight of oppressedpeople, trying to live in hope, waitingfor salvation which didn’t happen –overall a musical impression ofsuffering with little joy ‘told’ throughthe wonderful skills of these twoyoung artists at ‘Templewood’ today.Their innate musicality andinterpretive qualities shone throughthis concert up to the very last notesplayed.

Music OverThe SeaIt was a privilege for DeckchairProductions to be able to kick off thePavilion Theatre season. All of theacts were superb and great to dealwith. I was especially delighted towork with John Otwaywho was a real gentand performed so wellon the night. TheSpikedrivers review wassublime and incredibly,if adding in the SplitWhiskers bassist, theafternoon ended upfeaturing three ladybass players!It was great day andwe are looking forwardto presenting theBlockheads for the firsttime in Cromer as partof their 35thAnniversary Tour alongwith a return visit fromthe incredible Viva Santana! Allthis will be part of a new projectcalled 'Rocktober Sundae' whichwill be on Sunday 21st October.Going back to the weekend I can'thelp reflecting on the fact thatwithout the various 'hearty' crewsinvolved , my productions justwouldn't happen. For instance,regarding Saturday, despite acertain amount of muttering fromthe ranks criticising the fact thateach of the six bands in theproduction had their own drum kits, apotential problem given the size of

the stage at the theatre, all went offsmoothly and on time and as theensuing reviews pointed out was acredit to all concerned. However andrather unfortunately, as the lastpiece of PA was loaded out of thetheatre a team member who willremain nameless was heard to say,‘that was the tough day - Fairport

will be a breezetomorrow’ and from thearrival of the band’sWinter Tour truck atnoon the next day, itwas blatantly obviousthat this was not goingto be the case!As the various crewsstood around in thedrizzle it was realisedthat Fairport's sevenand a half ton truck wasunable to make the turnand descend theMelbourne Slope due toa rather low tail lift. Thisresulted in everybodymanhandling the

substantial amount of equipmentthrough New Street and down the

gangway in front ofthe Hotel De Parisbefore even reachingthe foot of the pier.Though a lot of it wasin flight cases onwheels, a hardenough job even withthe force of gravitylending a hand. Show

over, the load-out became rathermore taxing as a veritable maelstromhad built up during the eveningoffering formidable bitterly cold winds

and horizontal rain! Everyone keptsmiling despite having to push saidboxes back down the pier, crossloading them into three small vansbefore off loading them back into theFairport Tour truck up at the top of

the Melbourne Slope.Regarding our wonderful pier venue,I issued a CD called ‘the Best Gig onthe North Sea’ a couple of years agobut at times it can be the worst!With this in mind I just want topersonally thank all my crew, thePavilion Theatre crew and theFairport crew for making sure thatthe show went on in the face ofadversity - you were all unflinchinglybrilliant.

laughing in their seats as he took tothe stage as Mrs Brady the dinnerlady.

CRABBEAT

with PC Lorna LawWelcome to Crabbeat.Pam – trainer@absolutely painlesscomputing would like me to tellyou about the country code.KEEPING SAFE WHEN OUTWALKING.

In Crabline issue 239 I explainedto you how I cross the road safely.I am now going to tell you how Ikeep safe while walking theCrabbeat both day time and nighttime.When I walk the Crabbeat I alwayswear my fluorescent jacketbecause it shows up clearly in daytime and dusk.

My jacket also has reflective stripswhich show up clearly at night.If you do not have a fluorescentjacket, why not wear reflectivebands on your arms or carry areflective bag. You could evenwear light clothes, It is importantthat you can be seen clearly.Where I can I always walk on apavement or footway. Where thereis no pavement, I walk on the righthand side of the road, facing thetraffic coming towards me. It isvery important, I can see thetraffic and I know they have seenme. Remember not only vehiclesuse the road, it could be a bicycleor horse, if you cannot see themhow do you know they have seenyou? I am also extra careful whencrossing a cycle lane on the road.Cyclists travel fast, and I can’talways hear them.I take extra care when I can’t seevery far ahead of me. When I amout with another Police Officer andthere is no path or it is night timeor lots of traffic on the road wewalk one behind the other.Remember traffic is passing youvery quickly and will not expectsomeone to be walking along theroad.Drivers can’t always see smallchildren. If you are walking withsomeone younger than you alwayshold their hand, they should walk

on your opposite side, away fromthe kerb or road.

Remember be seenand be safe.

On Monday 26th March I wasinvited to the start of Cromerlifeboat football cup competition atCabbell Park, Cromer. SheringhamReserves v Mundesley. It was veryexciting.
