The Sheringham Trawler
New Fried Fish & Chip
Emporium
Invited to sample the wares
of a new fsh and chip shop
with MY reputation...
Bring it on!
Knowing that I was involved
in the trade many years ago,
Philip Crab Tales, Esq,
thought it a good idea to
involve me in reviewing
(& tasting) the products on
offer at The Sheringham
Trawler when it opened
at tea time on Saturday
24th May and what a
treat & honour it was.
We arrived to fnd the restaurant area
packed with well-wishers along with
Norman Lamb MP who cut the ribbon,
as it were, and launched the good ship
and blessed all who were to
eat in her.
Noisy but light-hearted chit-chat, along
with the unmistakable smell of chips
fried in beef dripping, flled the
atmosphere. Yes, beef dripping is
to be the frying medium - make no
mistake - theres no taste to beat it.
Lisa and Andy May, who have Alberts Fish
Bar in Holt and previously ran Kellys Take
Away at Kelling Heath Holiday Park, so
obviously had a vision - along with a good
eye for a successful business opportunity
- and this new restaurant and take away
was born. Not only is it tastefully and
imaginatively set-out and decorated
but the shop facade is constructed
as the bow and bridge of - youve
got it - a trawler.

Armed with a picnic, Lis & I decided
to look around some of this years
Open Studios further afeld.
We planned to visit just a few studios
around Booton as our day included
having our picnic in the grounds of
Booton Church, just outside the
Reepham area.
Why Booton? Well Lis late father
Willis Feast was the last Rector of
the church and the Rectory is where
she was born, many moons ago.
The standard of the artwork that
we saw during our short visit to
the exhibitions was very good.
I take my hat off to our local artists
who take part in the Open Studios
and it is well worth having a look
at the route map, available from
the tourist information offces or
visit: nnopenstudios.org.uk.
I would encourage you to have a
look at Booton as well, as it is an
amazing church to nose around.
I am not one of those people who
visit every church, but the original
church was taken down in the late
1800s and replaced with what the
Rector at the time, Whitwell Elwin,
felt he would like to have.
Known now as The Cathedral in
The Fields, it is unique and quite
simply an enormous church for a
very small parish designed around
what he liked in various books to
build a church to his own taste.
This included a wonderful row of
angels either side of the roof.
The Rectory next door was also built
by Elwin large enough to accomodate
his visitors from London.
Until the 1970s when it was sold to
the current owners, there was no
running water, apart from a pump
which after an hour of pumping
flled the tank in the attic with
enough water to last a day.
It is indeed a little part of Norfolk
worth taking the time to discover
yourself and if you can go before
the 8th June you could visit the
Open Studios at the same time.
Enjoy Your Crab Tales

Dear Philip,
Further to my phone conversation in reference
to the letter on page 3 of Crab Tales issue 036
illustrating the history of the Pavilion Theatre.
I am afraid you have been had, it should have
been dated April 1st.
Sir Henry Irving (he was knighted in 1895 a very
rare occasion in Victorian times for Actors) not
as now. He had his own theatre in London, The
Lyceum, usually he appeared with Dame Ellen
Terry, but in 1905 he was by himself on the
stage of the Theatre Royal in Bradford,
doing A Life Of Beckett.
Beckett was the Archbishop of Canterbury during
the reign of Henry II. It was Henry II who had
made the statement : Who will rid me of this
turbulent priest! Six members of the household
(knights) took him at his word, went to Canterbury
and murdered Thomas A Beckett in 1170.
Back to the Stage of the Theatre Royal, Sir Henry
after saying the words: Into thine hands o Lord
collapsed. He was taken to his hotel in the
Midlands and died without another word.
With his fame he would never have played
a Pantomine Dame (Widow Twankey).
George Formby did have a house in Wroxham
and no doubt would have visited Cromer, but his
wife Beryl would not have allowed a performance.
In 1975 he could not have come out of retirement
to fght Muhamed Ali, because hed died in 1961.
The George that fought Muhamed, was Forman.
The rumbles in the jungle in Zaie.
I do not know of the modern production of
Sir Ralph Richardsons Happy Days, but
in view of the former, I have my doubts.
Keep up the good work as I always look
forward to the Crab Tales.
Yours sincerely
William Newbould

Dear Philip,
Could I take the liberty of addressing Hazel
Patrickson via your paper, please?
Assuming I can, here goes...
Dear Hazel Patrickson,
Heres an idea - if you invest lots of time, effort
and ideas, you could possibly set up your own
periodical and then publish and circulate it
locally or far-and-wide.
In turn, as long as the content follows the bounds
and codes of decency, you could write and insert
whatever you wished without being beholden
or answerable to anyone else and preview and
review shows, to your hearts content, be they
tribute or local amateur productions.

Letter Continued From Page 3
Dear Philip,
Re the letter from Hazel Patrickson in the 037
Issue of Crab Tales and her disappointment
with the ABBA Tribute concert at the Pier
Pavilion in Cromer;
I was sorry to read - I quote - they sounded
like amateurs playing in a local village hall
She might like to know that in Mundesley we
have a very professional group of amateurs
known as the Mundesley Players who regularly
put on shows in our local village hall.
In fact she might be interested in the following
- commencing Monday July 28th - A Taste Of
The Musicals, in October she could watch An
Inspector Calls and in December she could come
to see A Christmas Carol, and as if that isnt
enough theres always The Mundesley Festival
(August 4th - 8th ); all details on page 18 of the
037 Issue of your lovely magazine.
Best regards
Janet Munro
Mundesley-On-Sea.
To receive a couple of complimentary tickets on
the back of this, I consider could be considered
a right, not a privilege.
One downside I ought to point out, however,
is that 43 quids worth of freebies is a poor
substitute for the couple of hundred pounds
worth of advertising revenue that would be
sacrifced by donating a free press release
and review - by my reckoning, anyway.
Never forget, One mans meat is another mans
awful. The freedom of self-expression.
Good luck and best wishes.
M. Peters
Trimingham-on-Sea
Back to you Philip...
I remember someone giving you their book
Ladies that Ride some years ago to review.
By crikey, although you were given the book
you slated it. You didnt give that author an
easy ride...
Yours faithfully
M. Peters
Dear Philip,
We have just returned from a lovely holiday in
North Norfolk and I feel compelled to write to
Crab Tales to say we love Cromer and were
delighted by the warmth of the welcome
from everyone we met.
We were fortunate to stumble across the recently
opened Community Cafe tucked away behind
the Cromer Parish Church on Tucker Street.
The friendliness of all the volunteers in the cafe
was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and
our waiter, cheeky Kim even took this photo of
my wife, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and me
enjoying a great cup of tea.
No mother in law jokes please!
It was so lovely to hear how the whole community
rallied around with generous donations of time,
materials and money to help the cafe open in
March this year and provide a wonderful
environment for people with learning
disabilities to help to develop life skills
in a customer service environment.
If you have not yet popped in for a cup or tea
or coffee I can highly recommend it.
You will not be disappointed.

Dear Editor,
Over the weekend of August 22nd, the idyllic
village of Trunch will come alive with the
sound of Norfolks latest music festival,
Trunchonbury.

festival in 2009 and now for 2014 exploded
into a full scale music and arts festival
for the public!
The organisers aim to create the most memorable
weekend our county has ever seen with two stages
of live local talent, the Trunchonbury Playhouse
Theatre, Dance tent, Davenports Magic stage,
healing felds, activities for children, Buddhist
tent, food stalls, craft stalls, workshops and the
Trunchonbury Arms beer tent and the list
expands every day.
Camping is available and all this years profts
will be given to the Mundesley onshore
lifeboat and to Trunch village.

Dear Editor,
I would like to thank all our volunteers for their
hard work on the River Mun Nature Reserve
which is really beginning to take shape.
During our last session we planted a whopping
500 native shrubs which will provide excellent
nesting habitat and food for a variety of birds.
The backwaters weve created along the river are
full of sticklebacks and otter prints can be seen
along the banks. Even better, great crested newts
have been spotted in what was only a few months
ago called the black lagoon and a kingfsher
has been seen around the reedbed pond.
Our next mission is to make a wildlife watching
hide which we will position over the new pond
and reedbed. This will be a great spot to watch
and photograph the birds, dragonfies and
mammals inhabiting the area.
For those who are interested in helping us monitor
the wildlife in the reserve, I am in the process of
setting up an evening which will aim to show
you how to record your group of species on
our regional wildlife database.
If you have any questions then please dont
hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,

The vessels would pay-out a twelve mile long
line in a long, sweeping circle and, in turn,
spur lines and hooks would be attached at
30cm intervals to actually catch the fsh.
For 3 years running awards have been presented,
to those involved, for this sustainable and
environmentally friendly method of
harvesting the sea.
Meanwhile, back in the UK - but more particularly
Sheringham - an array of freshly fried fsh and
chips was beautifully and tastefully (in all senses
of the word) presented for everyones delectation.
..mmmm, that was the highlight of the event as
far as I and scores of others was concerned;
gosh was that tasty - still the best ever take
away in my opinion. Yummy!
Do give The Sheringham Trawler a try - and
soon! Trust me, you wont be be let down.
Ive been back already. Spending an afternoon
on the North Norfolk steam Railway with friends
and their young family on Wednesday, we chose
to eat there so that the others could decide for
themselves as to the quality and quantity of
the ware; no one was disappointed.
This traditional Fish & Chip Restaurant is Open
every day throughout the summer from 12 noon
onwards for eat-ins or for take-aways and serves
all the usual fare plus option for those restricted
to gluten free and wheat free diets.
Over 60s eat in special - Cod, chips and peas

ISSUE 036 WINNERS
Congratulations to Mrs. D. Batty, from Sheringham,
who found the cod on Page 5 in the Automatic
Driving Lessons advert & to Susan Foster,
aged 9, from North Walsham, who spotted
the Crab on Page 7, in the
NHS Wellbeing Service advert.
Its fascinating to see how many passing
pedestrians are transfxed, do a double-take,
and have to have a peep through this bridge
and into the restaurant.
Andy and Lisa soon found out that I was a
one-time fsh fryer and business owner and
I was readily invited to the sharp end of the
Mallinson (Oldham) gas-fred 5 pan range.
I admit to having obtuse tastes but what an
object of stainless steel, neon & glass beauty
- a man gets to admiring such things when
he reaches a certain age... Sad. Incidentally,
I forget to tell them that I still have the old
Frank Ford 2 pan range in my shed which was
removed from Kelling Heath many, many
years ago.
Behind the scenes - or frying range, more like -
we were introduced to the gentleman who sourced
their fsh supplies. I guess he could be termed an
agent, in modern terms, more than a fsh merchant,
but he went on to explain how the cod & haddock
were line and not net caught. This procedure was
kinder to the environment in that the sea bed was
not trawled and damaged but also more humane
to the catch.

Sailing On The
Broads.
Have you ever considered sailing on the Broads?
Since moving to Norfolk in 2000, I decided
that I too would try sailing on the Boards.
Having sailed at Rutland Water for at least fve
years and as a younger man in New Zealand
many years ago, I decided to move my then
16ft trailer sailer to the Broads.
Finding a reasonable mooring is not always
that easy and I had my boat moored in a car
park at Hickling to start with for a couple
of years, launching it every time.
After making a number of calls to Catfeld Dyke
to ask about getting a mooring, Larry, who runs
the mooring there decided that he had the space
available for me.
That must now be well over 8 years ago.
Now I can get in my car here at home and be
sailing on Hickling within 40 minutes, plus
the time it takes to motor down the dyke
onto Hickling another, say, 20 minutes
in total before I am sailing.
After about 4 years sailing my 16 foot Shipmate
Senior, I noticed a boat of about 18 ft in length
that was not being sailed very much every year,
so after pushing my nose in the windows and
casing the boat, I left a note asking if the
owner fancied selling it to me.
Time fies when you do this sort of thing so when
I got a phone call some months later asking me
if I was still interested, I ended up buying his
lovely boat for a very good price indeed.
That was now over 5 years ago and his boat came
with a mooring already. An all singing and all
dancing Prelude boat ready to sail.
Now the proud owner of two boats, I placed an
advert in, what I think, is a very good local paper
and sold my Shipmate Senior within two weeks
to a gentleman buying a boat for his sons.
Sadly since then they have not really used it much
at all, in fact I have not seen anyone sailing the
boat for several months, despite it still being
moored there.
I always enjoy taking the boat out whenever I get
a day or two free during the week or weekend.
Owning a boat, as anyone will tell you, is like
standing in a cold shower ripping up ten and
or ffty pound notes as it is not a cheap sport/
pastime but despite this it is always a great
way to discover our beautiful countryside.
Every six months I get a mooring bill of 295
and every year a bill from the Broads Authority
of around 80, so I can sail on the broads and
moor up overnight in numerous places between
Hickling and in Norwich, if I ever wished to.
So on a free day and the weather is in my favour
I drive down to Catfeld Dyke in the morning
and top up the outboard with petrol.
Before motoring out onto Hickling Broad,
I then pull up the main sail and head off
towards wherever I decide to sail to.
Horsey Mere is around 4 miles away towards
to the coast or Potter Heigham, again about
4 miles south.
This is basiclly as far as I have sailed so far, as
yet, as any further means that I have to put the
mast down to go under the bridges.
Sailing along the broads is a lovely experience
ever if one has to tack often against a head wind.
So why do I not sail further than the frst bridge
I come to? The answer is simply that I have to
date been a little fearful of pulling the mast up
and down on my own, or I have just not had
the time to sail much further in one day.
At 18 feet in length with a cabin, life on board
comes with berths for 4 adults and a reasonable
amount of space to live in, if you so wish.
I have to add that I have yet to spend any time
living aboard, other than having an afternoon
snooze one day, I have yet to properly use the
boat as it is meant to be used, by sailing miles
into the setting sun.
I should add that having a proper lifting keel
means that I can happily sail in some pretty
shallow water and when I want to, or when
I run out of water which is often the case.
I tend to always enjoy the time that I spend
on the Broads, whether on my own or with
friends, even when I have been rescued by
fellow sailors out there or when I have
ended up towing someone and their
boat to the shore.
With a 4 hp outboard I use about 2 gallons of
petrol every year so I try to avoid using the
outboard when I can, if at all, and if the wind
is in the right direction to easily sail out of the
mooring location & back, if I am very lucky.
All in all, sailing on the Norfolk Broads is a
lovely and enjoyable experience, that I never
tire of as long as there is some wind to power
me and the boat along.
If you and or your partner/ spouse fancy a days
sailing during the week or weekend, do give
me a call.
Or if there is anyone who knows how I can get
a second hand main sail to ft a Prelude 18 foot
boat do let me know.

Not A Good Idea
On the morning of Sunday May 18th, a very
silly man decided to put his boat into the sea,
using the Vale Road beach access point just
west of Mundesley.
On recovering his boat, he got his silver 4 x 4
stuck on the beach, so he decided to borrow a
local fshermans tractor to recover himself
and his boat from the sea only to then get
this stuck in the sea as well.
With the incoming tide and his poor health, it
was not a good day, to say the very least and
by the time the tide was in his life and
everything else was against him.
This beach point has a poor track record
with a lady, around 10 years ago, being
killed when she fell off a boat trailer
and went under its wheels, while it
was being towed out of the sea.
Despite being a popular place to launch your jet
ski, it is being abused by people parking on the
beach when there is a large car park available
on the access road.
As well as this, there are often people camping
there and as to be expected a lot of rubbish
being left there. See Below.
Both the Local Council, the NNDC, and the Police
have been often notifed about this regular problem,
but little if anything has been done to date.
What is the answer?
Surely it is all about people having a good time

Murphy..........
......a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to
expand the line of furniture in his store, so he
decided to go to Paris to see what he could fnd.
After arriving in Paris, he visited with some
manufacturers and selected a line that he
thought would sell well back home.
To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to
visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine and
as he sat enjoying it, he noticed that the place
was quite crowded, and that the other chair at
his table was the only vacant seat in the house.
Before long a very beautiful young Parisian girl
came to his table, spoke to him in French (which
Murphy could not understand) so he motioned
to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.
He tried to speak to her in English, but she did
not speak his language so after a few minutes of
trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin
and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed
it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of
wine for her.
After sitting together at the table for a while, he
took another napkin and drew a picture of a plate
with food on it and she nodded. They left the
bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a
small group playing romantic music.
They ordered dinner, after which he took another
napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing.
She nodded so they got up to dance and they
danced until the band was packing up.
Back at their table the young lady took a napkin
and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.
To this day, Murphy has no idea how she
fgured out he was in the furniture business
Thanks to David Thorne for this.

It was an enjoyable evening and amongst
the Art works on display there were a
number of interesting, good paintings,
and likewise the photographs.
I say photos as both Paul
and Chistine Damen had
submitted several and in
Pauls case two were sold
within a few hours of the
exhibition opening.
(See Below Pauls
photographs.)
When Tony had fnished
his speech he asked Gita
Dickinson to offcially
open the Show and
judge the winners.

awarded to Janice

The winner of the
childrens artwork
went rightfully to
the Cromer Junior

(See on right)
Despite there not being a great
number of people at the offcial
opening, it was a good show
of local talent doing their bit,
whether with camera or
paint brush.
Or I should add the talents used
by those who had a wonderful
display of their work on their
model houses. (On right)
The Annual VEO Art
& Craft Exhibition


Every year, over the numerous years that Tony
Shipp MBE has been Chairman of the VEO he
kicks off the VEO Arts & Craft Exhibition in
the Parish Hall in Cromer.
This year on Thursday May 22nd, it was also
Tonys 70th birthday and a cake and glass of
bubble was offered to the guests.
I have to say Tony looks pretty good for 70 as
most of the other 70 plus guests agreed.
The Festival also hosted its frst ever crab and
lobster Paella evening in the Festival marquee
in Cromer together with live music and a bar.
The paella, cooked by Head Chef at The Grove,
Charlie Hodson, with assistance from About with
Friends & Norwich City College students, sold
over 200 portions in 20 minutes.
The Festival, which has been hailed as the most
successful so far, is enthusiastically looking
forward to 2015 with the dates provisionally
announced as 15th 17th May 2015.
This handicraft is often simply produced by a good
many local folk and is so amazingly detailed.
I have seen their work before and this years group
of a miniature house is once again a fne example
of the work they all produce year in a year out.

Sat Nav Said....
..........it was the shortest route.
Did anyone get stuck behind this lorry stuck
on Church Street in Cromer on Wednesday
21st of May at about 8.30am?
Some suggested the queue of traffc went all
the way back to Sheringham.
I blame the town planner who designed Cromer
back in the 14th century. Clearly they didnt
realise that we would want to take our house
with us when we decide to move home!
The lorry eventually had to reverse very
carefully back along Church Street and
reprogramme its Sat Nav.

Letter From An
Irish Mother
Dear Son,
Just a few lines to let you know Im still alive.
Im writing this letter slowly because I know
you cant read fast.
We are all doing very well.
You wont recognise the house when you get
home - we have moved.
Your dad read in the newspaper that most
accidents happen within 20 miles from
your home, so we moved.
I wont be able to send you the address because
the last Irish family that lived here took the house
numbers when they moved so that they
wouldnt have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing
machine. Im not sure it works so well though:
last week I put a load in and pulled the chain
and havent seen them since.
Your fathers got a really good job now.
Hes got 500 men under him. Hes cutting the
grass at the cemetery.
Your sister Mary had a baby this morning
but I havent found out if its a boy or a girl,
so I dont know whether you are an auntie
or an uncle.
Your brother Tom is still in the army.
Hes only been there a short while and theyve
already made him a court martial!
Your Uncle Patrick drowned last week in
a vat of whiskey in the Dublin Brewery.
Some of his workmates tried to save him
but he fought them off bravely.
They cremated him and it took
three days to put out the fre.
Im sorry to say that your cousin Seamus was
arrested while riding his bicycle last week.
They are charging him with dope peddling.
I went to the doctor on Thursday and your
father went with me.
The doctor put a small tube in my mouth
and told me not to talk for ten minutes.
Your father offered to buy it from him.
The weather isnt bad here.
It only rained twice this week, frst for three
days and then for four days Monday was so
windy one of the chickens laid the same egg
four times.
We had a letter from the undertaker. He said if
the last payment on your grandmothers plot
wasnt paid in seven days, up she comes.
About that coat you wanted me to send you,
your Uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy
to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we
cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday.....
We were really worried because it took him
two hours to get me and your father out.
Three of your friends went off a bridge
in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving.
He rolled down the window and swam
to safety. Your other two friends were
in the back. They drowned because
they couldnt get the tailgate down.
There isnt much more news at this time.
Nothing much has happened.
Your loving Mum.
P.S. I was going to send you some money
but I had already sealed the envelope.
Thanks to David Thorne for this

Roughton Mill..
..celebrates its bicentenary on Sun 22nd June.
The current trustees and Scout leaders would
like to invite anyone with a connection to, or
interest in the Mill, our previous and current
supporters, old and new members of the
scouting movement to come and
celebrate the event with us.
This well-known land-
mark is known as the
home of 1st Rural
Roughton Mill
Scout Group.
Its history goes back to
1675 but the tower as
seen today was probably
built in 1814.
On 17th September 1906
a fre destroyed the mill
and the attached granary
building leaving just
the tower shell.
The tower remained
unoccupied and un-
used until 1977 at which time it was owned
by Brigadier and Mrs Hayward who leased
the building to the Scout Association.
With the help of dedicated members of the local
community, grants and donations the mill was
restored and a new building was erected which
adjoined the mill, the foundation stone was laid
by the Chief Scout, Sir William Gladstone on
Sunday 9th July, 1978.
In 2008 Roughton Mill Scout Group launched an
appeal to allow them to buy outright the Mill
which raised in excess of 227,000.
Since 2008 Roughton Mill has undergone further
renovations due to kind donations from supporters,
local businesses & grants. The Mill is a unique
landmark in North Norfolk now held in trust by
the Scout Association for future generations.
The purchase has guaranteed the future of the
Mill and its place as a centre for young people
to experience all that scouting can offer
including activities such as camping,
abseiling and many other adventures.
The renovated tower has fve foors, some of
which are available for community use, and
a purpose built abseiling point on the roof
of the building, which is the highest permanent
abseiling location in Norfolk.
The Granary provides a large meeting,
or conference, hall with a well equipped
kitchen, toilets and showers.
The building is currently used for Scouting
activities on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday
evenings during school term times, but is
available for hire during the daytime, at
weekends, and during school holidays.
It is available for use by community groups and
businesses, or private individuals, for meetings,
conferences, or residential events (community
groups only).

Scout Leader.)

Ellen Wade is friendly chiropodist and podiatrist
who relocated to North Norfolk in 2006 after
selling her successful multi-disciplinary chiro-
pody practice in Letchworth to a colleague and
deciding to relocate to the coast for a better
quality of life with her husband & daughter.
She had been practicing podiatry since grad-
uating from Westminster University in 1997
and initially took a year from work to
acclimatize to the slower pace of life here.
Ellen and her daughter Elizabeth 10, and her
husband Paul (age undisclosed!) relocated
to the The Canadas, lying just off Sandy
lane between West Runton & Aylmerton
surrounded by woodland.
When you arrive at The Canadas you may be
greeted by the pet chickens or either of the
familys cats who wander around, and are
sometimes joined by the odd pheasant
and occasional peacock.
Initially Ellen worked from a conservatory but
now practices from a purpose built unit in the
garden which includes a spacious waiting
room and a large and airy clinical room.
Her daughter chose the name for the practice
Clinic in the Woods and also designed the
quirky logo.
Ellen caters for all ages groups from very young
to very elderly and says that often people neglect
to look after their feet while remembering to visit
the dentist and optician but failing to look after
this equally important part of the body.
Foot conditions treated include verrucae, ingrown
toe-nails, corns and hard skin. Footwear and
footcare advice and a foot measuring service
are also provided.
Ellen fnds that 90% of her patients are in the
incorrect size shoe and havent had their feet
measured since they were teenagers, and this
can have a damaging affect upon the feet.
She also specializes in biomechanics & orthotic
therapy. This is where specialized insoles can be
used to treat a wide range of conditions from
heel pain, knee pain, Achilles pain, lower back
pain, shin pain and of course problems within
the foot such as ball of foot pain, bunions,
osteo-arthiritis and excessively pronated
or fat feet.
Those who beneft from orthotic therapy include
children with conditions such as in-toe gait and
shin splints, to altheletes with recurrent sporting
injuries and the more elderly client group with
aching, painful feet.
Ellen says: Up to 75% of the adult population
can suffer from pain & osteo-arthritis in the mid
foot & orthotics, either custom made or off the
shelf can do much to alleviate the pain along
with suitable footwear & stretching exercises.
Ellen also specializes in the Richie Brace
www.richiebrace.com, which is a dynamic, hinged
ankle foot orthoses designed to assist & facilitate
movement in those with more complex foot
conditions from drop foot following stroke or
head injury, injury to the foot post-trauma; and
more advanced arthritic foot conditions.
Her area of special interest is the hypermobile
foot and Adult Acquired foot syndrome which
is where (usually) only one foot becomes excess-
ively pronated (fat) resulting in debilitating pain
accross the top of the foot especially whilst trying
to stand on tip toes for example climbing stairs
or reaching up into a cupboard.
If left untreated the joints above the affected foot
develop secondary osteo-arthritic problems most
especially the knee and hip. She says it is actually
quite common, especially in females and is
often undiagnosed.
Using the Richie Brace for patients has quite
literally tranfomed the way I practice, it has
opened up a whole new conservative way of
treating patients without the need for surgical
intervention and given back affected patients
the ability to walk and even run pain free
thereby improving their quality of life.
says Ellen
One lady was in tears as she said her brace had
enabled her to run around again and play with
One Delightful Lady
her grandchildren, and it has been wonderful
to see people with such chronic foot problems
fnd pain relief in this way.
Ellen says she has met some patients in her local
swimming pool when she has seen them strugg-
ling along the side of the pool and she can see the
way they walk she hopes that people dont mind
her giving them advice and says most people
are quite open & friendly and glad someone
is taking time to explain about their feet.
Ellen also believes that treating children is
very important as it stops problems arising
or becoming chronic.
She says that it is common for most people
not to know about orthotics and insoles but
she sees them as much like glasses and
should be seen as such.
Her daughter Lizzy has been wearing them from
a young age to prevent problems in the lower
limb. After all, its just like wearing glasses for
the feet take them off and the foot goes back
to its original position causing problems where
the compensations occur within the lower limb
put them back on the foot, and consequently
the lower limb is held in a much improved postion.
Ellen also prescribes stretching excercises as
necessary (she believes most of us have very
tight muscles) and she cross refers to other
health professionals including orthopaedic
surgeons, G.Ps, physiotherapists, osteopaths,
chiropractors or yoga teachers.

Gifts
Written by Miranda Marshall
Partner at Hayes + Storr
Solicitors are often asked for advice
about making gifts.
The reasons for such gifts can include trying to
save Inheritance Tax or protecting assets from
being assessed when seeking fnancial assistance
from the Local Authority for care costs.
There are a number of important principles
which apply even before one reaches the
question as to whether the gift will work
for the purpose of saving tax or care fees.
These can very easily be overlooked by non-
solicitor advice services keen to sell invest-
ment products designed to achieve such aims.
It must be established that the person making
the gift (known as the donor) is making the
gift of their own free will and that they have
not been unduly infuenced.
This is especially important where instructions
are given by someone other than the donor.
There might well be a confict of interest
and this must be assessed at the outset.
The possibility of money-laundering or fraud
should not be overlooked.
Careful notes must be made and kept in case
the gift needs to be re-investigated in the
future, for any number of reasons.
The solicitors role is much more than just draw-
ing up the document to give effect to the gift.
The solicitor has a professional duty to make sure
that the client fully understands the nature, effect,
benefts, risks and foreseeable consequences of
making the gift, in order for them to form a view
as to the wisdom of the proposed transaction.
Assessing this understanding allows the solicitor
to determine whether the donor has mental
capacity to make the gift and whether they
are subject to undue infuence. The advice
given to the donor will depend to a great
extent on the motivation behind the gift.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and its Code of
Practice states that the donor should be able to
understand the relevant information, use it to
make a decision and communicate that
decision to their solicitor.
The main case on gifts remains Re Beaney (1978)
which sets out the test of capacity to make a gift
and states that capacity will vary depending on
the size, nature and consequences of the gift.
Advice can only ever be the best advice at the
time it is given and the unexpected can and often
does occur. It is always advisable to be cautious
when giving assets away as once given you
cannot be at all sure of getting them back.
This article aims to supply general information,
but it is not intended to constitute advice.
Every effort is made to ensure that the law refer-
red to is correct at the date of publication and
to avoid any statement which may mislead.
However no duty of care is assumed to any
person and no liability is accepted for any
omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our
specifc advice.

Quote from Jonathan Reeve:
Broadland Chess Club was pleased to run
a Quick-Play Chess Tournament as part
of this years Aylsham Festival and also
to help celebrate 20 years of Broadland
Chess Club.
We are very grateful for all the support provided
by Aylsham & District Ex-Service & Social Club

seemed to enjoy the event. Hopefully we can
build upon this in future years.

Why?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers,
large fries, and a diet coke?
Why do banks leave vault doors open and then
chain the pens to the counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of
dollars in our driveways and put our useless
junk in the garage?
Why cant women put on mascara with their
mouth closed?
Why dont you ever see the headline
Psychic Wins Lottery?
Why is abbreviated such a long word?
Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what
they do practice?
Why is the man who invests all your money
called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffc
called rush hour?
Why isnt there mouse-favored cat food?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal
injections?
Why dont sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are
all stuck together?
If fying is so safe, why do they call the airport
the terminal?
Now that youve smiled at least once, its your
turn to spread the stupidity and pass this on to
someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe
even a chuckle)...
We all need to smile every once in a while.
Have a happy day.
Thanks to David Thorne for this

The Royal British Legion
Womens Section
The ladies of the RBL Womens Section all
over UK have been given a fundraising task
for 2014 - The 2p Mile - and this means
we need to raise enough money to cover
one mile in 2p pieces
To this end, here in Norfolk, we have begun
collecting already, and are trying to place
posters and collecting boxes in as many
outlets as we possibly can.
No one likes to have pockets full of loose change,
or purses weighed down with coins, so we are
suggesting that everyone could collect their
change into a jar or box, and then when these
are all collected together, we have a plan to
lay the 2p coins on Coltishall Runway on
Wednesday 16th July starting at 1.30pm.
Norfolk County Council, the owners of Coltishall
airfeld, have been very supportive and helpful
in facilitating our project, and local schools and
other associations will join us on the day to help
lay out our coins and we shall have an aerial
photograph taken as a record of our attempt.
One Mile Of 2p coins = 63,360 Coins!
Therefore, we need a lot of coins collected, and
a lot of helpers, and we would appreciate the
help of everyone in the County.
Delivery of coins can be made to the Main Gate
at Coltishall on 16th July only or Contact
County Secretary Lesley Willcocks
01263 734 115 (30th June onwards)

The Womens Section of the RBL is a charity
committed to providing welfare & support to
women, children and men within the Armed
Forces community who are in fnancial
hardship or in need of extra support.

The wedding dresses on display will

Local wedding suppliers will display
their products and refreshments

a 30 min service in the church

Visitors are welcome to join the

All Saints Church is a beautiful
Norman church which has many
interesting features that visitors,
may also like to see, such as the
hammerhead timber roof with
carvings of angels, 15th century
rood screen, a fnely carved Seven
Sacrements font and recently
returned medieval glass.
The only glass which escaped the
reformation and later restorations
are two very small fragments in
the tracery of the third window of
the North aisle an elephant and a
unicorn. This is believed to be the
only elephant in medieval glass in
Norfolk, but it is quite small!
