My mistake entirely, even though three of us did
the proofreading before the paper went to the
printers.....no-one spotted it! My only excuse is
that apart from getting ready to go off to France
as soon as I had finished, the computer decided
to close down numerous times in the middle of
my typesetting. I must also apologise to Cindy
Johnson for leaving her name out of the thanks
for her review of Copacabana. Sorry!
Dear Editor,
Northrepps Aerodrome, situated just south of
Cromer on the Nth Walsham Road, are holding
an Airfield Open Dayon Saturday 18th July
(or Sunday 19th if weather bad on 18th).
This is an oportunity for local North Norfolk
residents to came and have a look at the
different aircraft that fly in and out of the
airfield and chat to the Pilots.
Dear Editor,
This is just to say a big thank you to the team
and the owners of Huckleberry Caf!
I was the lucky winner in a recent edition of
the Crab Tales and yesterday my husband
and I enjoyed some scrummy cakes and
lovely pot of tea!
Such a surprise to win and now we know
where Huckleberry is located we may be
seen there again.
We enjoy reading the Crab Tales and although
we are out of area we pick up a copy whenever
we can!
Again thanks

Dear Editor,
I read your magazine regularly & would like to
bring to the attention of all readers on the back
page, which shows the full page Sandy Gulls
Caravan Park advert in the bottom right hand
corner The David Bellamy Gold Conservation
Award presented to the caravan park.
I would like it to be known to all readers that
despite this wonderful award they received
I would like to ask why the caravan site
constantly allow all types of rubbish to
be thrown over the cliff behind their site.
This would also include the 2 recent heaps of
stone chippings they left on the cliff top after
their entrance roads were resurfaced which
had to be cleared away by NNDC
I am sure they must be proud of their award
particularly in view of the way they allow
the cliff top to be treated behind their site
which resembles a rubbish dump.
It is a complete disgrace that makes a mockery
of such an award from a great conservationist
such as David Bellamy.
Yours Faithfully,
Julian Mintz, Historian
Response from Sandy Gulls: Thank you Liz for
giving us the opportunity to reply to Mr Mintz
letter. Kind Regards, Sam.

Dear Liz,
My Pilates class takes place every Monday
at 10am at East Runton Community Hall.
I hope to reach the local people and holiday
makers by offering a gentle class that is
suitable for all ages and all abilities.
As Dr Angela Hallatt said in your last issue
Exercise leads to healthier & longer lives
and lowers the risk of chronic disease.
Pilates is mainly mat based so no high aerobic
or intensity exercises, people can work at their
own pace and rest as much as they need to.
The community is very friendly and the group
work very well together. Classes cost 4 per
session and are suitable for all ages, abilities
and to both men and women. I have been a
Fully Qualified Instructor since 2002.
Please contact me on: 01263 588 935
Or Mobile: 07900 733 832
Many thanks.

Dear Editor,
Since 20061 have been assisting a teacher of a
Polish High School to bring a small group of
her pupils to Cromer each July for a 2 week
summer holiday.
The purpose of the visit is twofold, to enable
the students to have a holiday by the sea and
to practice their spoken English.
The sad news is that in 2015 the pattern has
been broken and no students will be enjoying
our hospitality and improving their language
skills this year.
Dear Editor.
I note that Mr H. Mouse is at it again (issue 062)
- hes quite an old mouse you know so I suggest
he dusts off his bus pass and takes a trip on the
bus with the blacked out windows - he will
certainly NOT be able to enjoy our beautiful
Norfolk countryside and hes bound to end
up with a headache.
Talking of buses - just lately there have been quite
a few disgruntled passengers - mainly because
Sanders Coaches dont seem to be keeping to
their end of the bargain - i.e. they just dont
turn up, leaving passengers stranded with
no information whatsoever.
Moreover it appears theres nothing we can do
- we really are the poor relations where travel
is concerned.

Dear Editor,
This years Crab & Lobster Festival was a super
smashing success, magically supported by superb
sunny weather! The opening concert at the Pier
Pavilion Theatre was played to a packed house.
The entertainment offered something for everyone
Pat Nearney, Marlenes Dancers, My Bad Sister,
Backdrafts and The Sheringham Shantymen.
The weekend continued in Cromer - top chefs
with seafood dishes, market stalls, live music,
crab sandwiches, Punch & Judy, giant fishtank,
heritage demos, crab dressing & entertainment.
In Sheringham the village fete atmosphere
attracted the crowds with local chefs, ethnic
foods, crab dressing demonstrations, morris
dancers, street entertainers, beer, bees, sheep,
music, boats, coastguards, Shantymen - and
Razz the Clown entertained in both towns!
On Sunday charity walkers & Cromer Walkers
are Welcome linked the towns, and there was a
new Crazy Crab Competition from the Pier.
Record crowds enjoyed the weekend and local
accommodation was booked up weeks in advance.
The best news of all... dates for next years
festival are 21st-22nd May 2016.

Book Choice
The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
Review by Mrs Rita
Reid of a recent book
read by Sidestrand
Book Group.
This book is a remarkable account largely
unknown to Europeans,
of a period of history
from the early 1900s
to the middle of the
Second World War.
It is not a novel in
the true sense, but, but more of a documetary
based on the collective memories of Japanese
women who, unable to find husbands in their
own country, were driven to embark on
a hazardous journey to California.
In dreadful conditions they set out, clutching out
of date photographs provided by unscrupulous
marriage brokers, of future husbands (Japanese
men who had already emigrated to to the U.S.A.)
Unfortunately many of these photos bore little or
no resemblance to the men.
Instead of having well established jobs many of
these men were expecting their wives to work
in hot dusty fields or as domestic sevants to
American women.
It is unbearably sad to think of the plight of these
women who had eagerly been looking forward
to a bright new future..... Unable to speak the
language, they were isolated for most of their
lives, whereas their children soon became
integrated in school and made local friends.
The disgrace of being an unmarried woman in
Japan would appear to outweigh the disadvantages
of a life of drudgery in California. Having been
cruelly deceived on their arrival & realizing that
there was no escape from their bleak future, the
wives wrote glowing letters to their parents back
in Japan, saying how happy they were - too
proud to admit the truth .
Their unhappiness continued when Pearl Harbour
brought America into the Second world War.
All Japanese nationals were regarded as possible
enemies and whole families living on the western
seaboard were uprooted overnight and transported
to camps hundreds of miles away from the coast,
where they were interned as prisoners.
Recently the American Government has
offered an apology for the way in which
they treated these Japsnese families.
