You Did Not Have To Be A Future
Bride......
.... to enjoy this exhibition of bridal wear
and was well worth the trip to Marshams
All Saints Church on Saturday 5th July.
I make no claim of knowing much about
wedding dresses, but Lis and I were really
impressed by the collection
on display around the church.

The workmanship involved in creating these
dresses was quite simply amazing.
The dress (pictured right) was made in 1913
and would have been worn by a bride no
more that 4 foot 10 inches tall, if that.
Every dress on display included information
about the dress and the wedding date, often
with photos taken on the day, many of them
were at least ffty years ago.

wedding dress is Jacquie

I have to say how much we enjoyed
visiting the exhibition of wedding
dresses in All Saints Churtch in
Marsham on Saturday July 5th.
You really have to admire the work
and design involved in producing
these dresses. (Front & page 6)
Having been married now for 23 yrs.
in a 2nd marriage, I still remember
my frst wife selecting her wedding
dress and the process involved.
I have to say that my 2nd wedding
was a great deal easier as dear Lis
simply found a dress in a charity
shop in Stamford where we were
living at the time.
If I remember correctly we spent a
total of about 16 on our wedding
clothes between us.
I must apologise for being unable to
download any of the photos that
I took of the Mundesley Summer
Fete on June 28th, digital cameras
who invented them?
We did enjoy the event, particlarly
the Bar-B-Que, the delicious cake
and listening to the Jazz Band.
How we both won a cuddly soft toy
each from the Womens RBL stall
I do not know. One day they will
become a present for someones
small child.
I would like to thank Bob White, of
the Mundesley Coastwatch for his
letter about their forthcoming Fun
Day (See Page 4) what a great line
up of prizes you can win on August
23rd! (The day before my Birthday)
As you will see from his letter, the
raffe tickets are now on sale in
numerous places.
I must hand it to Karen & her team
of jolly souls at the Cromer N&P
for spending ALL day cycling
to raise money for Marie Curie.
(see Page 8)
I would like to thank very much
Cindy Johnson for her reveiw of
the show on the Pier of Viva la
Drag and I am glad she enjoyed
it so much. (See Page 12)
Enjoy Your Crab Tales

Dear Philip,
Northrepps Poppyland Branch of the RBL has
had a busy start to the summer, accepting the kind
invitation of the Cromer Branch to take our stand
& standard to Armed Forces Day on 28th June,
and would like to extend a huge thank you for
not only their excellent hospitality, but also that
of the Cromer Womens Section, this event is so
valuable for a small Branch like ours to take
part in, and we are off to Northrepps Church
Fete at Northrepps Hall on Saturday 26th July,
2014, and look forward to meeting old and
new friends there.
World War 1 Commemoration -
On Sunday 3rd August, in St. Marys Church,
Northrepps, 10am - 3.30pm. an invitation is
extended to everyone to come to our Service
and Exhibition in honour of the very brave
men who left their families, friends, work,
and our village, never to return.
We welcome pupils of Oak Class Northrepps
Primary School, exhibiting their art, poetry
& prayer, local singer/songwriter Jack Daniel
who will perform a song he has written about
war & confict, and also Mr. John Needham,
Cromer Branch Chairman who is that well
known local Military Collector, together
with village history.
This will be an opportunity for the very young
and elderly to unite on the eve of the outbreak
of the war that changed the world.
Dear Philip,
At the 2013 County Council elections the Tories
lost control of the Council and a Labour/Lib
Dem coalition took control of the Council
supported by UKIP and Green councillors.
The incoming Cabinet under the leadership of
George Nobbs inherited a number of major
problems from the Tories, not least failing
Childrens services, issues concerning Adult
Social Care and a contract for an incinerator
which was not wanted by a large proportion
of the residents but which would cost millions
of pouns to cancel.
The Council was also, as a result of the Tory
governments policies required to make large
savings to its budget.
The Council launched a consultation on the
budget Norfolk Putting People First and
we held a successful consultation meeting at
which members had the opportunity to express

Dear Philip,
I just want to tell your readers about the
absolutely amazing donation we have
received from Mundesley Holiday
Village to swell our funds!
The holiday village hold lots of raffes and we
were lucky enough to be chosen as one of three
charities to receive a donation ... And what a
donation...4000!
Thank you so much Cheryl Cook, the general
manager and Shirley Beattie, the bar and
restaurant manager whose idea it was!
Laura Stango
Secretary and Treasurer Mundesley and
Villages Ambulance First Responders
Dear Philip,
Please include this in the Crab Tales -
Very soon I will be moving to Somerset from
the beautiful village of Mundesley and I would
like to say thank you to all my good friends here.
I will miss you all very much, but I take with
me lovely memories of my time here.
So, ladies, thank you very much for all the
kindness, friendship and support you have
given me over the years.
All best wishes, Ann
Thank you,
Ann Furneaux
Dear Philip,
I felt I had to write to tell your readers about the
overwhelming generosity that I as treasurer of
Mundesley Coastwatch have encountered
since moving to Mundesley 2 & half years ago.
Firstly, being a foreigner (Northampton via
London) I was amazed at what a friendly village
Mundesley is, people actually talk to each other
here. I digress.
Late last year Coastwatch decided to hold a
fund raising day, trying to make it family
orientated, thus our Family Fun-Day came about
and we decided that a Big raffe with Big prizes
would be a good attraction, and a well known
person to draw the raffe and have been very
lucky to secure the company of Becky Jago
one of ITVs presenters to fll this role.
Prizes in our raffe include a 39 Colour T.V.
a 100 Drinks hamper, a Food hamper, Meals
for 2, a Broads tour, Tickets to the Zoo, North
Norfolk railway trip, Theatre tickets and many
smaller but just as worthwhile prizes.
Raffe tickets are available from: The Ship Inn,
Mundesley Gallery, The Haig Club, Country
Pickings and the Lighthouse Inn in Walcott
and also from myself at: 31, Cowper Close,
Mundesley. Telephone: 01263 726 859
Other attractions include a Bouncy Castle,
Gladiator, Bar-B-Q, Tombolas, Craft stalls,
Skittles, Hoopla, Face-Painting, Fairground
Organs and much more.
The people of Mundesley have been brilliant in
supporting us & I would like to thank everyone
who has helped us in bringing our Fun-Day on
Saturday 23rd August to fruition.
Kind Regards
Bob White, Treasurer,
Mundesley Coastwatch.
Dear Philip,
Firstly, thank you for publishing my original
letter regarding my attempt to compete in the
Brownlee Brothers Petworth House triathlon.
As you will recall, I was trying to raise funds
for the Cure Parkinsons Trust following a
friends diagnosis of the illness at age 38.
I am pleased to inform that I completed the task
on Sunday June 15th in 1 hour & 58 minutes.
As part of my preparations I also held an acoustic
concert and subjected myself to an upper body
wax at the Vernon Arms in Southrepps in order
to boost the coffers and as a result of the night,
my Just Giving page, sponsorship form at the
Corner stores in Trunch and people literally
just handing me money, I am pleased to tell
you that I raised a staggering 2,072.06.
I can honestly say that Im overwhelmed by this
fgure as Id originally hoped to raise a couple
of hundred pounds and I would like to take
this opportunity to say a few thank yous.
Firstly to my friends, family and everyone
who has donated and offered much needed
encouragement and support along the way.
Then to you Philip for publicising my
endeavours in the Crab Tales.
Thanks to Jenny and Chris at Trunch Corner
Stores for holding my sponsorship form and
donation box.
upon elected Councillors what were seen to be
services which should be prioritised for spending.
The budget which was fnally approved by the
Full County Council although making larger
cuts than we would have wished,
largely refected our priorities.
At the end of a diffcult year the Leader of the
County Council produced a report to Full Council.
As it documents the challenges faced by and
achievements of a minority Labour led admin-
istration it should be of interest to party members.
It can be found by following this link to the
County Council website: http://bit.ly/1j1C387
Best wishes
Alan Pawsey
Secretary, Norfolk Local Campaign Forum
Thanks to Paul & Debbie Briggs, their staff and
generous patrons at the Vernon Arms, and to
Kerry at Caribou in Bank Loke, Nth Walsham
for performing the waxing & fnally to Tom Cox
at Design Signs, again in Nth Walsham, for
producing the posters for my events.
This has been a great journey and I hope Ive
inspired people to go the extra mile.
Thank you and kind regards.

Continued From Front Page
(Pictured Below with her dress)
One of the ladies helping at this
event was Brenda Watson (Nee
Jones) who has lived in the same
house in Marsham for 46 years.
She was born, christened, confrmed
& also married in this chuch in 1968.
As well as samples of wedding photographs
there were displays from wedding cars and
other wedding suppliers.
Everyone I spoke to at the exhibition really
enjoyed seeing all the dresses.
One of the wedding dresses, worn in 1972,
was made of red material and looked great
as it also did in the photo taken on the day.
(See below)
On Left:
Jacquie Dudgeon in the
dress that lost its sleeve
at her wedding in 1966
to Roderick Wathen.
This successful weekend
was organised by Jacquie
with lots of help from many
others and Jean George
had the idea to stage the
exhibition which raised
funds in the region of
800 for the Church.

The One
Armed
Dress
Lis and I enjoyed looking around the exhibition
and seeing what the brides had worn on their very

special day. Pictured Right is Lis favourite.
The One Armed Wedding Dress
Front page & Below Far Right
Among the wedding dresses on display was
the one belonging to Jacquie Wathen which
was missing an arm.
Here is how it got lost.
Although the wedding took place in London,
Jacquies parents were at the time living in
the USA and Jacquie & Rod were in Uganda.
Everyone gathered in London for the wedding,
but directly after it Jacquies parents returned
to the US and a dear Aunt was left in charge
of the wedding dress and decided to give Js
parents a lovely surprise with a studio photo
of J in her dress, in colour (the offcial
photographer used black and white).
When Jacquie and Roderick returned from their
honeymoon the photos were taken, then they
were off back to Uganda.
The arm of the dress was removed so that the
colour in the photo could be made an exact
match - and it was never seen again!
The studio photos were given to Js parents but
sadly they did not like them: Jacquies hair had
not been done the same way; she had a large
spot on her face (too much good food on the
honeymoon!); and the tiara was missing as it
had been returned to Jacquies Granny.
In addition, Js parents were presented with a
large bill from the photo studio. They were
defnitely not happy and only after several
years, after they returned from the USA, did
they discover the dress only had one arm.

On behalf of the Mundesley First
Responders I would like to thank
all those who gave up their time
to take part.
Also a big thanks to Terry and
Nicki from The Manor Hotel for
giving us the freedom of their
gorgeous hotel, to Pat Nearney
our local comedian for having
us all in hysterics.
Many thanks also to Mike Oliver
and VJs Disco for brilliant music,
the stall holders and, of course, to
our amazing local traders, friends
& families for the wonderful
raffe prizes.
Mundesley Rocks!!
Thanks very much to Laura Stango, Secretary
and Treasurer Mundesley Ambulance First
Responders for this report and the photos.
Fashion At The
Manor Hotel
Susie Beighton and her staff from Rock Paper
Scissors held a fashion show at The Manor
Hotel and raised 1045 for our funds.
She enlisted the help of 3 local fashion outlets,
Jupe in Mundesley, Lily B of Cromer and
Maisie May of North Walsham.
The shops provided gorgeous clothes and the
equally gorgeous models.
Kellie, Susie and Leane from Rock Paper
Scissors, styled the models hair and
Kellie & Maddy did their make up.
A local punk group were in the vicinity and
gatecrashed the wedding scenes........ it was
chaos but the brides survived!

Doing Their Bit
For Marie Curie
On Friday June 27th, along with numerous
other customers, I got roped into doing a
stint of cycling in the N & P Building
Society, in Cromer.
Branch Manager, Karen Chastney (Above)
encouraged any & everyone to get on their
bike to cycle for this worthy charity.
Tina Youngman frmly assured me that she had
already done her bit on the bike (Top on Right)
while a new member of staff, Robert French
(Far right above) was doing his bit towards
this worthy charity.
I am in no doubt that this branch of the N&P
will have happily achieved the 120 miles they
planned to cover on the day and managed to
raise over 150.00 in doing so.
Karen Chastney, is one of those people who
you cannot be like and admire for her energy
in getting any and everything done.
Yes, I too did my bit for the branch fund
raising for but not for very many minutes
I am afraid. (On Left)

Today with the temperature low and the wind
high, one does have to wonder when our
summer will start, if at all.
Thursday July 10th is a long way off being
a warm and jolly day in Norfolk and I guess
anywhere in the UK or if youve seen the
Tour De France on the telly, it is along
way from being warm there, either.
We have all learnt about the dangers of global
warming going on and how we should consider
this serious matter by protecting ourselves.
Be assured I will, when it starts!
In the meantime, while walking the dog along
the coast, I have seen several fellow natives
taking a dip in the North Sea, but I have yet
to envy or join them
in their behaviour, by
ripping off my gear
and taking a dip
with them.
When the wind is not
ripping along I do try
to go sailing on the
Broads with a picnic
and thermos of hot
coffee once or twice
a week, but have not
been out for over
a week or so.
I really enjoy living
in Norfolk and sailing
when I can but so far
this year, the climate
seems to be working
against me and I guess
many others.
Thankfully the Wimbledon Centre Court now
has a rolling roof to keep the players dry and
happy but having a roll over roof over all the
Broads is asking rather too much and what
would happen to the wind?
You have to consider this, as well.
Let us all hope that by the time this issue out
we will be look for and applying the factor 30
plus suntan lotion all over our tender bodies
and enjoying the summer type weather and if
the sun does come out again, check out the
article on Page 14 about how to cope with it.
Who ever said that I would complain?

The Battle Of...
..Trafalgar Updated
Nelson: Order the signal, Hardy.
Hardy: Aye, aye sir.
Nelson: Hold on, this isnt what I dictated to
Flags. Whats the meaning of this ?
Hardy: Sorry sir ?
Nelson (reading aloud): England expects every
person to do his or her duty, regardless of race,
gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion
or disability. - What gobbledegook is this for
Gods sake ?
Hardy: Admiralty policy, Im afraid, sir. Were
an equal opportunities employer now. We had
the devils own job getting England past the
censors, lest it be considered racist.
Nelson: Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe
and tobacco.
Hardy: Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been
designated smoke-free working environments.
Nelson: In that case, break open the rum ration.
Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men
before battle.
Hardy: The rum ration has been abolished,
Admiral. Its part of the Governments policy
on binge drinking.
Nelson: Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose wed
better get on with it ........... full speed ahead.
Hardy: I think youll fnd that theres a 4
knot speed limit in this stretch of water.
Nelson: Damn it man ! We are on the eve of
the greatest sea battle in history. We must
advance with all dispatch. Report from
the crows nest please.
Hardy: That wont be possible, sir.
Nelson: What ?
Hardy: Health & Safety have closed the crows
nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope
ladders dont meet regulations. They wont let
anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can
be erected.
Nelson: Then get me the ships carpenter
without delay, Hardy.
Hardy: Hes busy knocking up a wheelchair
access to the foredeck Admiral.
Nelson: Wheelchair access? Ive never heard
anything so absurd.
Hardy: Health & safety again, sir. We have
to provide a barrier-free environment for the
differently abled.
Nelson: Differently abled? Ive only one arm
& one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of
the word. I didnt rise to the rank of admiral by
playing the disability card.
Hardy: Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy
is under represented in the areas of visual
impairment and limb defciency.
Nelson: Whatever next ? Give me full sail.
The salt spray beckons.
Hardy: A couple of problems there too, sir.
Health & safety wont let the crew up the
rigging without hard hats. And they dont
want anyone breathing in too much salt -
havent you seen the adverts ?
Nelson: Ive never heard such infamy. Break
out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to
engage the enemy.
Hardy: The men are a bit worried about
shooting at anyone, Admiral.
Nelson: What ? This is mutiny !
Hardy: Its not that, sir. Its just that theyre
afraid of being charged with murder if they
actually kill anyone. Theres a couple of
legal-aid lawyers on board, watching
everyone like hawks.
Nelson: Then how are we to sink the
Frenchies and the Spanish ?
Hardy: Actually, sir, were not.
Nelson: Were not ?
Hardy: No, sir. The French and the Spanish

Dear Philip,
I have been asked by the Trimingham Village

It was very much appreciated.

Dear Philip,
Umbrellas of Love
Vince Laws is a local poet, artist & campaigner.
Over the last few weeks he has been spraying
and painting 100 white umbrellas. Why?.
to highlight and protest against homophobia
throughout the Commonwealth during the
Games in Glasgow from July 23-August 3.
There are 53 nations in the Commonwealth; 41
of these advocate discrimination against Gay,
Lesbian, & Bi-sexual & Trans-gender (LGBT)
people. Seven of these countries stipulate life
imprisonment, 2 have the maximum penalty
of execution (www.76crimes.com)
Vince now has 100 umbrellas ready to go to
Glasgow where they will be carried in Pride
Glasgow on 19th July & the Commonwealth
Games launch on 23rd July.
After that they will be carried at Norwich Pride
on 26th July & Brighton Pride on 2nd August.
Each umbrella has been spray painted with the
name of each offending country plus Love is a
Human Right, No Human is Illegal, and
We All Bleed Red.
Michelle de Oude (Chair of Hate Free Norfolk)
said The Hate Free Norfolk Network supports
Umbrellas of Love, because our Pledge includes
a commitment to stand up for the right of Norfolk
LGBT people to live free from Hate.

Dear Editor,
On August 4th the country will come together
to commemorate the day when 100 years ago,
Great Britain entered a war with Germany that
would become known as the Great War.
Cromer Parish Church, the Royal British Legion
and Cromer Town Council have been working
together to mark the day accordingly.
Starting at 11am on the day, people are invited
to gather at the War Memorial near the Cromer
Parish Church for a service to acknowledge those
who gave their lives from the town of Cromer.
The service will be led by the Rt Revd Jonathan
Meyrick, the Bishop of Lynn and the Rev Peter
Herbert, Curate at Cromer Parish Church.
Local military organisations & other groups will
participate for the roll-call of those who died in
World War One. Following two minutes silence,
a candle of remembrance will be lit by Bishop
Jonathan in the church and for the following 8
hours, a single guard of honour, changing each
hour, will stand over the lit candle.
Later in the day at 7:30pm, a Centenary Concert
will take place in the Parish Church with music
by the Cromer & Sheringham Brass Band and
the internationally renowned Broadland Youth
Choir will be singing a selection of songs.
Baroness Shephard of Northwold will read some
well-known poems from the WW1 period.
The concert will end at 10pm and it is hoped
that a young descendant of one of the World
War One men named on the War Memorial
will come forward over the next few weeks
to extinguish the Memorial Candle.
This is the time that across the nation it is hoped
that candles will be lit in homes to mark the hour
when in 1914 Sir Edward Grey famously said
The lamps are going out all over Europe.
Tickets for the concert are are available at 5
from Cromer Town Council, North Lodge,
Overstrand Rd. Cromer : 01263 512 254.
Email is admin@cromertown.org
Proceeds from the concert will go towards
the War Memorial Restoration Fund.
Artists Against Fraud
Be warned: a number of free advertising publica-
tions are targeting artists and craftspeople.
From a cold call, you can fnd you have spent
hundreds of pounds. Highly pressurising sales-
persons phone, offering to do a feature on your
work with promises of huge returns.
When it turns out to have a fnancial implication
(unmentioned at frst) they manage to get you to
spend far more than you want to or can afford
if possible through 4 issues of their magazine:
1. The 1st approach may be - We are producing
a special issue on the arts and wed like you to
be the one painter/ potter/weaver/printmaker
that we feature; you are special.
2. Everyone in the offce is raving about your
work. Wed really like to put you on the cover
of the next issue. You deserve no less
3. Amazing news! Our annual meeting has
awarded you this years prize for (painting/
pottery/ weaving etc.) That entitles you to a
big prizewinners piece in the next issue
you cant refuse the prize.
4. Now we have to have a follow-up picture
of you holding the prize, dont we? You must
agree, so as not to let the others down
Each stage costs you money. If youre running
out of money, its: I tell you what I can do: I
have a special budget and can put 300 of my
own money towards this, to halve the price.
If you ask for time to think about it, its:
Sorry, no time, the deadline for the issue is
this afternoon, we must have a decision now.
Before you can change your mind youve spent
Following this, other operators may send you
unsolicited leafets into which your details
and copyrighted imagery have been pirated,
accompanied by an invoice, both illegal.
Pressuring phone calls, legal threats and letters
from alleged debt collectors may follow.
The chief players we have encountered appear
to be separate companies, the sales techniques
of some are identical.
Dear Editor,
Over the past 3 months I have been repeatedly
targeted by a number of free publications
pressing me to advertise with them with
promises of huge returns.
My artist husband (always sceptical) was even
persuaded, just to get rid of them and Im not
easily conned but in this case I succumbed
against my better judgement.
The experience and loss of money have been so
distressing that we decided to email twenty seven
randomly chosen artists from these publications
to ask what their experiences were.
All but one (husband very ill, couldnt respond)
matched ours; thats just 26 of the hundreds of
artists persuaded to advertise in these papers
over time.
Those artists we had contacted agreed we should
take the matter further to try to put a stop to the
practice or at least warn other fellow artists.
We contacted the Police, Action Fraud, You &
Yours, Jeremy Vine, RA magazine, The Jackdaw,
Artist & Illustrator and whatever artist groups
or associations anyone has contact with.
We do hope You and Yours will take this up -
a change from the usual problems!
Below is the Press Release that we sent out.
No artist we have contacted has had any
response to their advertisements.
Some of the publications are well designed and
reproduce the artwork well. But no one, bruised
by their encounter, would want the experience
again, so in effect they slash and burn clients
as they go. Others are murkily printed on poor
newsprint, but you dont know this when you
are approached. Local services, tree surgeons
and holiday lets are the proper clients for
these papers, not artists.
Be cautious if approached by these publications:
they are perfectly legal but can be very over-
persuasive and the ads do not appear to bring
any recorded results.
Some appear to pick up artists details from the
legal publications and send an unsolicited, fait
accompli alleged Community Magazine, an
invoice and then threats if you refuse to pay;
phone calls include playing back an alleged
recording of you agreeing to the terms, but
the recording is so crackly that your denials
cannot be categorical even though you
know you never spoke to them before.
The debt collectors demands come from the
same address, Communications House, 290
Moston Lane, Manchester M40 9WB
Lifestyles in Birmingham have phoned in such
a way as to make the victim think they are the
BB&O Guardian or another publication you
have been in touch with, saying they have
lost your credit card details (etc)
These Are Scams. If approached by them or
anyone similar, do not respond but report
the incident to the National Fraud Intelligence
Bureau at: www.actionfraud.police.uk
The affable & enthusiastic salespeople at the
legal papers set out to make friends with you.
They trade on your working in isolation with no
point of comparison, on your being pathetically
grateful for anyone liking your work, on liking
it so very, very much, on your small vanities
and then on your shame at having been fast-
talked into advertising with them so you are
too embarrassed to tell anyone.
You say its my fault, I should have been more
savvy but that is to condone their right to con
you. It may not be criminal, but it is merciless
and it leaves a trail of misery.
It is indefensible.
Thanks to Juliet Wood for sending this.

A Taste Of The Musicals
Above L-R: Zaira Palumbo, Karen Temple, Paul Reynolds, Victoria Ing,
Paul Nursey, Louise Stevens & Antony Loftus @ Front Joe Annison
Tracey Loftus (Above) is heading up
a Musical show in Mundesley that
should be enjoyed by everyone.
I do like the Loftus family, who just
happen to live just behind our house
in the village, as all three members
of the family are real doers of
numerouse local events.
I must say that the photograph of
the cast by Nigel Holmes prooves
that the cast is looking very smart
for this musical show.
As well as Tracey there is Vicki
Feetham working as the other
Choreographer, along with a
number of children doing
their bit to get this
show to work.
Alongside the members of
the Mundesley Players who
are usually involved in the
shows, there are a number
of new faces that have put
themselves forward for
this performance.
The Show runs from 29th
July to the 2nd of August
and your 10 ticket will
include a buffet supper
which you can enjoy
while the show is
running along.
Please note:
This is a Bring Your Own
wine or alcoholic drinks
evening.
Tickets are available at
JUPE in Mundesley or
phone 0750 3297 602
I wish all the cast and the
team an enjoyable couple
of days pulling this off as
the Players have a great
track record for their
frst rate shows.

Viva la Drag-
Viva La Fab
Destination Pier Theatre,
Cromer on the East Coast, welcomed the West
End of Londons Viva la Drag.... and wow
what a ritzy glitzy visual theatrical delight
these beautiful boys were.
The show opened with the voice of Boy George
giving us the intro and on stage were four
glittery glamorous boy babes singing: Im
every women! - and saying Lets get this
pier rocking
They certainly did just that, with the tallest wigs
- the highest heels - the longest eye lashes and
many delicious costume changes.
Such colourful characters, a riot of personable
provocative peacocks, they created something
intriguing, they stirred hormonies and had a
chic elegance with a fresh feel.
Viva la Drag......... three small words
making a big impact.
Our compere Sheila was a sweetie, we had
a perfect pole-dancer, whos attire was
now UC it - now U dont. Brilliant.
Volunteer Richard from the audence
was morphed into Storm giving drag
a new meaning!!
Those naughty amusing Gals gave us a really
outstanding production - a night to remember.
Hello to John - from St Lucia - in the audence,
a friend & fan of the Boy Babes.
The evening bought back fond memories
of fun and glamour hours spent at the
Vauxhall Bridge Tavern (in London)
many yesterdays ago.
Loved Vall- great joy -
Gimme - Gimme - Gimme.

Two Apprentices..
.....in the NNDCs Council Tax section have
been rewarded for their efforts by being
granted full time posts with the team.
Brianne Neale & Kristian Cubitt both started
an apprenticeship with NNDC in July 2013.
The government-supported scheme aimed to
provide them with an NVQ level 2 & Technical
Certifcate in Business Administration from
Easton & Otley College as well as providing
mentoring and experience in the work-place.
Both are now reaching the end of their training
and in recognition of how successful they have
been, both have been offered full-time positions
within the council-based team; Kristian as a
permanent Revenue Offcer, while Brianne has
accepted a fxed term contract to March 2015.
Brianne, 18, from Sheringham, decided A levels
were not for her as she wanted a qualifcation
more closely related to the work-place.
Kristian, 23, from Cromer, left school with no
idea of what he was going to do and worked as
a labourer and in local cafes and restaurants.
Sean Knight, NNDC Revenues Manager, said:
In the past we have been unable to fnd suitably
skilled revenue offcers and had to take on agency
staff, which is expensive and can only ever be
short-term. I am really pleased that weve been
able to offer jobs to Brianne and Kristian, its
no more than they both deserve.
Cllr. Russell Wright from the Business Enterprise
& Economic Development, said: The council
has promoted the benefts of apprenticeships to
the local business community and I am pleased
that we have been putting our money where our
mouth is and offering apprenticeships ourselves,
and even more pleased that this latest pair of
apprentices have been so successful.
The apprenticeship scheme is not only excellent
for the young people involved, but also in terms
of building their long-term commitment to working
locally, and in building the skills capabilities of
the wider north Norfolk community as a whole.
This month Cromer will host the Carnival Tug
of War competition and the teams will battle it
out to win the title of champions on Cromers
east beach at the bottom of The Gangway.
For organisations & groups across the area from
pubs to community groups & local businesses,
The Tug of War is open to teams of 8 people
and entrants can register on the day.
Saturday 20th July at 1pm.
Come along and enter a team or watch the
spectacle to see who will take the title from
reigning champions The Welly, Cromer.
The full programme of events for this years
45th Cromer Carnival is now available online

Strictly Norfolk..
........at the White Horse Overstrand
A celebration of Norfolk food, Real Ales and
Musical Talent, Featuring Katriona Taylor
and Chris Wilson.
White Horse head chef is passionate about using
local produce and dealing a much as possible with
Norfolk suppliers so when White Horse landlord
Darren Walsgrove suggested a Strictly Norfolk
week Nathan and his team jumped at the chance.
Darren then set about organising the real ale side
of the vent contacting Norfolk based breweries
to come up with a list of beers that would refect
a full range of favours and strengths.
The result is impressive ten Norfolk brewers
offering a selection of 20 very different real
ales racked and served from the barrel.
In the meantime Nathan and his team set about
preparing a Norfolk menu which of course had
to feature Cromer Crab and local Lobster.
The week-long event has many different foods
Monday 21st is Norfolk Pork Night offering a
range of specially prepared dishes.
Weds 23rd is Norfolk Tapas Night offering both
individual servings or a superb Sharer Tapas
for two to enjoy.
Thurs 24th is Lobster Grill Night with a range
of dishes including a Steak and Lobster dish,
a Whole Lobster Thermidor and of course a
Cromer Crab dish featuring Brown Shrimps
and sea vegetables.
Friday & Saturday evening menus bring a
collection of dishes featuring local cheeses,
Samphire, meats and in season vegetables.
The dessert Menu is equally creative from a
Cucumber Jelly to Norfolk Strawberry Ice
Cream and White Chocolate Cheese Cake.
Music nights are Friday and Sunday in the
bar from 8.30pm. Friday night will feature
Chris Wilson from Stalham performing a
blend of rock & blues featuring the songs
of Buddy Holly & Palo Nutini creating a
rich musical treat with songs from the 50s
to today. A former member of the Booze
Brothers Chris has performed across the
county including the Worstead Festival.
On Sunday night the bar will be flled with
the superb sound of Katriona Taylor, a
singer /songwriter whose music is
soulful and evocative, with strong
melodies and tender lyrics.
Katriona who cites Nina
Simone, Diana Krall,
Astrud Gilberto and
Carole King as her
infuences, excels in
high quality entertain-
ment that appeals to
a wide range of
audiences.
She performs jazz
standards, latin, funk,
soul and her original
songs as well as creative
re-workings of classic
standards & pop songs.
As an arranger, Katriona
has a remarkable knack
for making old classics
sound like new ones,
without losing the
essence of the songs.
Her strength lies in her
versatility & distinctive
vocals allow her to sing
different genres side
by side and do them
equal justice. With her
established reputation
for live performance
she regularly sells out
top London Live venues
such as Pizza Express
Jazz Club in Dean St.,
The Bulls Head Jazz
Club, Pizza on the
Park Jazz Club.
Katriona (On Left)
also performs at the
prestigious UK Music
Festivals such as
The Edinburgh
Fringe, Henley
Festival and
the Chelsea
Festival.
In 2006 she opened for George Benson
on the Portugal leg of his world tour
to an audience of thousands.
Her confdence and talent have established
Katrionas solid reputation internationally,
on the UK Jazz scene and as a songwriter/
musician.

The Dangers of
Sun Exposure
We are of course very lucky living on the North
Norfolk coast to be near the sea. However this
does increase our risk of problems due to sun
exposure. Overdoing sun exposure can lead to
a range of skin problems; the most serious of
which is skin cancer. Other skin problems
include sunburn, photosensitivity rashes and
prickly heat. These conditions can also be
made worse while on certain medication.
Although a lot of people would regard having a
tan as being healthy, a tan is actually a sign that
the skin has been harmed by UV radiation and
is the bodys response to try and defend itself
against further damage.
Melanin is a constituent of the skin. It is a pigment
molecule which absorbs a proportion of UV
radiation. People with a darker complexion have
more naturally occurring sun protection, so fair
skinned individuals & particularly people with
red hair have very little natural melanin and
therefore are at a higher risk. The very young
are also at very high risk and so extra
protection needs to be given.
More than 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are
diagnosed annually in the UK. Extensive sun
exposure is thought to be responsible for the vast
majority of cases. In more than 4 out of 5 cases,
skin cancer is a preventable disease.
The main safety tips to prevent sun over-
exposure are as follows:
1. Protect the skin with clothing, including a
hat, preferably with a wide brim, T- shirt and
wraparound sunglasses.
2. Spend time in the shade between 11am & 3pm
when it is most sunny.
3. Use a high protection sunscreen of at least
SPF 30, which also has high UVA protection.
Make sure you apply it generously & frequently
when in the sun and reapply it after swimming.
4. Keep babies and young children out of direct
sunlight.
5. Keep an eye on moles and if you have any
worrisome changes, bring them to the attention
of your doctor. These changes include:
getting bigger
changing shape & particularly getting an
irregular edge
changing colour; becoming darker or patchy
or multi shaded
loss of symmetry; the 2 halves of your mole
not looking the same
itchy or painful
bleeding or becoming crusty
looking infamed
It can be useful to take a photograph of your moles;
especially in sun exposed areas so that you are
able to ascertain or not whether there has been
a change or not. Early diagnosis of change is
important so if you have any concerns, please
make an appointment to have a check at your
surgery. Also of concern is the appearance of
a new mole in an adult aged over 40.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is transmitted
in 3 wavelengths: UVA, UVB & UVC. UVC does
not penetrate the earths atmosphere but we do
need to protect against UVA. UVA is associated
with skin ageing. It affects the elastin of the skin
and leads to wrinkles & sun induced skin ageing
as well as skin cancer. UVA can penetrate window
glass and also penetrates the skin more deeply
than UVB. So UVA protection and a sunscreen
will help defend the skin against photo aging
and also potentially skin cancer.
UVB is a form of ultraviolet radiation most respo-
nsible for sunburn and has very strong links to
malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma
risk which are two types of skin cancer.
A sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protective
Factor) will help block UVB rays and prevent
the skin from burning and displaying damage
which can then go on to cause skin cancer.
Sunscreens in the UK are labelled with SPF.
This stands for sun protective factor.
It primarily shows the level of protection against
UVB. SPFs are rated on a scale of 6 to 50+,
based on the level of protection they offer.
A sunscreen of SPF of 30 is recommended as a
satisfactory form of sun protection in addition to
protective shade and clothing. Water resistance
is tested by the ability of a sunscreen to retain
its sun protective properties following two 20
minute intervals of moderate activity in water.
However it must be remembered that up to 85%
of the product can be removed by towel drying,
so sunscreen should be reapplied after swimming,
sweating or any other vigorous activity.
Heat exhaustion can also occur in warm weather
which is primarily dehydration. For this reason
it is sensible to take extra water when you are
travelling; especially when you are going to be
exposed to the sun. Please also remember when
travelling with dogs that they will fnd it very
diffcult to lower their body temperature, so do
not leave them in cars when you are out & about.
If you have to, then make sure you are parked
in the shade & that they have adequate ventilation.
In summary prevention is the most important way
of dealing with sun overexposure and an aware-
ness of ways to reduce sun damage will make
sure that you have a safe and happy summer.

Helping People
Stay Independent
Central Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Groups
& Norfolk County Council are running a joint
public survey via the Your Voice membership
scheme to fnd out how to help older people
stay independent for longer.
The survey focuses on Falls & Bone Health and
aims to learn more about what causes people to
fall. It is also designed to get feedback on how
and when people access health services after
they have fallen.
Dr James Gair, Nth Norfolk GP & Falls Lead said:
We want to hear from older people and their
families about what we can do to help people
live independently for as long as possible.
We want to fnd out more about what is going on
in peoples lives around the time they fall and
where they turn to immediately afterwards.
We also need to know what type of on-going
support they need until they return to good
health and full mobility.
Falls can have a major effect on an older persons
quality of life & can mean the difference between
being able to live independently and needing
residential care. However this is not just an
older persons issue. Dr Gair continues:
Some of the factors that put people at risk of
falling can start many years before, such as
poor bone health from an early menopause
or from treatment for prostate cancer.
We also want to see how aware people are
of this and hope to get people as young as
40 to take part in the survey.

Anyone who saw their fantastic circus at North
Walsham infants and junior school during the
recent term will know what a wonderful
learning experience it was for the children.
And if you want something special for your own
school then this could be it. Circus Ferrel will
bring their full big top to a school, where the
kids can have assembly, plus 10 hours of free
workshops, at no cost to the school.
The Circus Comes
To Mundesley
At the beginning of August the big top will
go up on Mundesleys Gold Park and its
CIRCUS TIME.
Laugh at the clowns, marvel at the amazing feats
of the jugglers, tightrope walkers and trapeze
artists plus there are always a few surprises.
This is the fantastic live and colourful show
of Circus Ferrel.
This year Circus Ferrel will not only be doing
their spectacular two-hour show in Mundesley
every day, but also hosting the Lifeboats Boat
Day in their big top.
They will also offer the children of Mundesley
School the chance to learn circus skills in their
free workshops during their stay.
You are never too old to enjoy a live circus.
And this is a totally LIVE all human show.
This is a brilliant chance to see a great show right
on your doorstep. Take your children and grand-
children or just simply go on your own.
You will always get a warm welcome and see
a brilliant circus in the middle of the village.

and they will remember this longer than their
