From the EditorThe Crab and Lobster Festival certainlylived up to its billing and providedfamilies with a great weekend ofentertainment. Consequently it is a cruelirony that Youngs have announced theclosure of The Cromer Crab Companyfollowing this celebration of local craband lobster. There was of course theusual ‘hand wringing’ press releasewhich, when boiled down, simply meansthe company doesn’t feel it is makingenough profit from the Cromer factory.The Cromer factory is modern, has,according to Youngs, a highly committedand well motivated work force, and is ideally located to

take full advantage of localshellfish and provide agenuine ‘Cromer Crab’cachet but apparently stillneeds to close. At a timewhen major food retailersare straining every sinew topresent us with proof oforigin, ‘specialist’ producersand champion quality,Youngs decision is difficultto follow. When they nextenjoy crab or lobster,perhaps at a mealcelebrating a bonus award,will Youngs directors thinkabout the 109 people inthis area, as well as themany others at the plantsthey are closing, theirdecision has affected?Efficiency is now a wordthat has been mangled by‘PR’. Take the recent BigSociety Fundannouncement by NNDC .Good news for the bids thathave been successful, butwhy not make acomprehensive pressrelease including thesuccessful bids? Well, withso little good news to giveus this is obviously going tobe spread thinly - but isthat efficient? It is one wayof doing more with less.Fortunately we have aConstitutional Monarch asHead of State and theDiamond Jubilee is time torecognize we are living inthe reign of a second GoodQueen Bess.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games are certain to prompt an increase in the display of our nationalflag, properly called The Union Flag but we tend to refer to its other acceptable name The Union Jack. However it isimportant to follow some simple rules to ensure a statement of national pride or support doesn’t turn into anembarrassment. Here is the Crabline Quick Guide to displaying and flying flags.

The Union Flag is the national flag of the United Kingdom, the CrownDependencies and Overseas Territories. The first Union Flag, created in 1606,combined the flags of England and Scotland. The modern Union Flag dates from1801 when St Patrick’s Cross was added to represent Ireland, at which point itbecame possible to fly the flag upside down. There is no law governing the useof flags in the UK and the Union Flag has become the national flag by customand practice not statute.

Flag Etiquette has also developed from a combination of custom and practice, elements of constitutional law andheraldic rules. The national flags of the UK (Union Flag and the flags of England, Scotland and Wales) should bedisplayed only in a manner befitting a national emblem; they should not be displayed in a position inferior to anyother flag or ensign.It is improper to use national flags as a table or seat cover or as a masking or screen for boxes, barriers or the spacebetween a platform, stage or dias and the floor or ground. Currently there are are many fabrics and other items thatappear to use the Union Flag but if you look closely they avoid offence by not using the full combination of elementsof the Union Flag or by not using the recognized colours of each part, consequently they are not ‘national flags’. Theuse of national flags to cover a monument or statue or plaque for an unveiling ceremony is considered wrong.

Flying the FlagFlags may be flown on every day of the year, although there are some restrictions in Northern Ireland.Flags are normally flown between sunrise and sunset. They can be flown at night but should be illuminated.No permission is needed to fly national flags and they are excluded from most planning and advertising regulationsBUT flagpoles of any form are not.National flags should never be flown in a worn, damaged or soiled condition.The Union Flag has a correct way up.

In the half of the flag nearest the flagpole the wider diagonal stripe must be above the red diagonal stripe. Thereason for this is that Scotland’s St Andrew’s Cross takes precedence over Ireland’s St Patrick’s Cross. It is improperto fly the flag upside down - at sea this is also a distress signal.

Fly the Flag - correctly

We werewelcomed by the Town Crier whointroduced compere Olly Day andFestival President Hilary Thompsonwho provided a crowd pleasingdouble act as they attempted to tellus about the week-end’s programme,much amusement and diversionalong the way - very funny.

Olly Day is an outstandingentertainer with aunique stylecombining singing,magic and a largehelping of humour.His routines werewell judged andincluded a’volunteer’ (whodidn’t) assistantfrom the audience.Diane proved to bean excellent accomplice and a greatfoil and joined in a really daft dance(poor lady) all of which made ahilarious sketch.

Curtain Up at theCrabster

Dear Editor,I boarded the Norwich to Londontrain intending to travel toManningtree to have a look aroundthe Hall.However upon arrival and askingdirections I was told there was noManningtree Hall. I then wonderedwhy the Crabline a North Norfolkmagazine would direct readers toEssex?

On a different note readers will beaware of the profusion of Alexanderplants:One of England’s forgottenvegetables, Alexanders are at theirmost magnificent in April, theirstately stems thick and tall onverges and grassy banks. Alexanders(Smyrnium olusatrum) love thecoast and grow in greatest profusionwithin a few miles of the sea, thoughisolated patches thrive even farinland, often close to monastic sites,where it was once cultivated.Has any reader eaten this vegetable?

Does any reader have a recipe for"Norfolk sausages" I believe cookedin milk and mustard? As I recall verytasty!Regards,Robin WoodruffNew CostesseyNorwich

PS Yes, Crabline goes to Costessey.

Dear Robin, You are quite right to question us‘sending’ you to Essex. I understand hmouse was involved in this. He had beenspeaking to a cousin in Essex andthought the title looked better.Fortunately he didn’t amend the correctname Mannington to Manningham, whichis in W Yorks! I hope Manningtree wasn’ttoo disappointing. Ed.

Dear SirAs someone who obviously has hisfinger on the pulse of what ishappening around North Norfolk.Have you any news about theCromer Road Train?Is it going to run this year?ThanksColin

Dear Colin,As you know the Cromer Road Train wasbought back by Mr Tonks, a midlandsbased businessman, who has interests insimilar seasonal transport at otherresorts. The Cromer Road Train is fullyoperational, but currently in storage, andis offered for sale. Potential operatorsrequire suitable PSV qualification. At thetime of writing there have not been anysuccessful offers to purchase and it isvery uncertain that we will see theCromer Road Train operating this season.Ed.

Hello My name is Mary Copeman, and onthe day of the coronation, I was 5years old and living in Overstrand.To celebrate the occasion, a fete washeld on the cricket field inOverstrand and all the villagechildren participated in a fancy dressparade. My mother made mycostume from Union Jack printedcrepe paper, along with parasol andaccessories. I am enclosing thephoto in case you would like to printit in your Crab Line edition for theCoronation.I say this, because I have read thatOverstrand plans on duplicating thecelebrations from 1953, with thefancy dress parade on the cricketfield. I thought you may like toshare this photo with your readers.Mary Clark (nee Copeman).Dear MaryThank you for sharing your memory ofthe Coronation. I have placed yourphotograph on page 4. Ed.

contd from page 4Position of HonourThe order of precedence for flags in the UK is:Royal StandardsThe Union FlagOther UK national flags (England, Scotland, Wales)Other national flags in alphabetical orderCommonwealth FlagEuropean Union FlagCounty FlagsCity or Town flagsBanners of ArmsHouse flags (organisations, companies etc).

In front of and on a BuildingWhen there are two or more flag poles the senior flagshould be flown from the left-most flag pole seen whenfacing the main entrance of the building. If one flagpoleis higher than others the senior flag must be flown fromit.

In processionThe senior national flag always leads a single file.When two or more flags are carried side by side thesenior flag is always at the righ-side of the line facing thedirection of movement (the left of an observer watchingthe line approach).

With crossed flagsWhenever crossed the seniornational flag should be on the leftof the observer facing the flags;its staff must be in front of theother flag.

Suspended vertically above a streetAll flags must be hung in the same direction. Strictly longlines of bunting should be cut to ensure all flags face in

the same direction, not simply zig-zagged across thestreet.

Flat against a surfaceUnion Flag hung horizontally orvertically; the broad whitediagonal should be uppermost inthe top left corner.For other flags, if hung vertically,the edge that would normally bethe top of the flag should be on the left for exampleensigns that have the union flag in the upper left corner.

Double flaggingWith only one flagpole available it is permissible to flythe senior flag above a junior flag but only if both areBritish for example The Union Flag above the nationalflag of England Scotland or Wales or a county or townflag. The two flags should be separated by about 12” (30cm).

The proper disposal of flagsWhen a flag become unserviceable it should bedestroyed in a dignified way; tearing or cutting intostrips that no longer resemble the original flag. It ispermissible to dispose of a flag by burning it in private.

This quick guide concentrates on the celebratory use offlags. Other areas of etiquette including half-masting,vehicles and as a pall for a coffin will be covered inanother issue.

For the weeks ahead you now have the information to flyour national flags and ensigns correctly as well as withpride.

Aylsham is a market town.Monday’s a busy day,

Buses come from round about,All meet up, pass time of day.

Some of the shops have closed or moved,The plumber’s one for sure,

Post Office is in Budgen’s now,The auctions’s changed, now indoor.Of course we now have Tesco there,

With changes good and bad,Small shops do add character,When forced to close it’s sad.

We’re not local, we love the Norfolk ways,We have a caravan,

No small shops are left back home,Support them while we can.

The 2012World

ChampionshipsThe 2012 World Pier CrabbingChampionships were held at CromerPier on Saturday 19 May. Thisprestigious event attracts individualsand teams from across Norfolk andbeyond. Competitors from London,Essex, the midlands and north-westbegan arriving during the week foracclimatisation and final pre-championship preparations. Most competitors felt acombination of bait choice andequipment suited to the conditionson the day would be fundamental tosuccess, particularly in view of theunsettled weather forecast. Althoughlocal knowledge provided someadvantage, this was offset this offset,to some extent, by the pitch ballotwhich introduced an element ofchance for all. Defending ChampionSammie Bruton said ‘to some extentit will be the luck of the draw’. With the Crab and LobsterFestival already underway there wasa keen sense of excitement, fun and,for some, a few pre-match nerves ascompetitors gathered, registered andreadied themselves for the firstsession which began shortly after

Pier Crabbing

11.00am. In many respects the firstsession was the most difficult withthe now steady WNW-NW wind overthe last of the out-going tide makingconditions at the lowest numberedpiches, nearer the S end of the pier,difficult. Officials had sensibly set allpitches along the E side of the pier,providing shelter for competitors,but lines were exposed to the fullforce of the wind below the pier deckand needed to be heavily weightedto ensure they reached the seabed;many competitors needed to re-think weight and line-lengthcombination. The first session endedshortly after midday and it was clearthat the 2012 Championships wouldbe seriously affected by weatherconditions as the catch rate of justthree crabs was very low. It was hoped that catch ratemight improve with the in-comingtide. Although it improved it wasvery inconsistent. With slightlybetter conditions larger crabs werecaught, the first, a fine but smallishspecimen of 6cm, was overtakenwhen Kyle from Morecambe landed a

more substantial 9 cm examplewhich proved to be the winner of the‘largest caught’ category.Putting in a very consistentperformance throughout the daysecured overall victory for thedefending Champion Sammie Brutonwho has now gained considerableexpertise and enabled him to holdoff the machine-like efficiency of theMighty Chumcannon Team. Thishighly organised team included aline handling team with substantialback-up including a bait chef.Choice of bait was varied across thecompetition and impossible tocorrelate to performance, althoughthe winner consistently used roundfish. This really was a Championshipof five sessions with no clear winneruntil the close of the final session. Congratulations to Sammie andKyle and all who took part,particularly in the demandingconditions. It was good to see somuch crabbing talent out on thepier, which indicates the sport has apromising future.

While out on the Crabbeat thisweek I walked past the newCromer Hospital. The hospital itself looks wonderful.But they are still working hardpreparing the area at the front ofthe hospital building. This is calleda building site. It is well fenced offfrom members of the public.But not all building sites are assafely secure and with the schoolholidays fast approaching Iwantedto remind you that building sitesare very dangerous places to playin or near.They are full of hazards whichcould seriously hurt you.Around a building site you will seewarning signs to alert the workmenof the danger in each area.But there can be unseen dangerssuch as:• Trip hazards.• Holes in the ground you could fall into.• Being hit by falling materials• Large moving vehicles

• Chemicals• Electric cablesAnyone entering a building sitemust wear a hard hat, to protecttheir head, and high visibilityjackets so they can be seen.Remember a building site is not aplayground.My young friends Amelia andSophie invited me to see theirfavourite outdoor play activity -

Trampolining

It looked great fun so I could notresist changing into some slacksand a t-shirt and having a gomyself. It was brilliant. Thankyou Amelia and Sophie.Can you guess who jumped thehighest! Hopefully they will invite meback again for another go.Maybe you would like to shareyour favourite outdoor funactivity with the readers ofCRABBEAT.You can email me with yourstory and even add a photo too:

The SRB Gardening DiaryMore news from the SRB allotment project

Over the last fewweeks we seem tobe digging forEngland! Jack sayswe will soon bethrough to China.All this hard work isstarting to pay off asit is now lookingbrilliant. The twoJacks, Charley,Morgan and Adamhave eventuallyfinished putting in

the raised beds ready for planting – it was quite trickylining them up.As the weather turned cold and wet we took theopportunity to plant up our seeds. This year we aretrying courgettes, cabbages, brussel sprouts, peppers,tomatoes, pumpkins, sweetcorn, herbs and sunflowers.To give them an early start we have placed them in ourgreenhouse at school – we’ve just got to remember towater them. Later in the year we will plant carrots,runner beans, beetroot and peas straight in the beds

along with lettuce and summer salads. After Easter weplanted potatoes, onions and garlic.Victoria helped Mr Greenwood plant the strawberries,

raspberries,gooseberries,blackcurrents andblueberries so weshould be having a‘fruitful’ summer.These will need a cageto protect them fromhungry birds.We took a deckchairup for Mrs Gilman soshe could have a rest

even though she doesn’t do a lot when she is thereanyway – bad back excuse.
