From Kelling Heath to Sheringham
and in Weybourne and Holt, the air
was flled with the spirit of the 40s
on the third weekend in September.
I went along on the Saturday with a
couple of good friends but as Philip
was in New Zealand with his camera
I asked Eduardo Garcia if he would
be able to take some photos.
Not only did he go there on Saturday
but enjoyed it so much that he went
again on the Sunday and supplied us
with numerous photos ,of which the
selection here and on Pages 6 & 7
sum up the whole weekend.

Dear Philip,
Path to Mundesley School
Do any Crab Line readers recall a footpath to
Mundesley School, leading across felds from
the direction of Trunch?
Trunch resident Arthur H. Amis, in his book
Dawn to Dusk (1992), described how he
started attending school at Trunch at the age
of three-&-a-half, in September 1911, and
subsequently, at the end of 1915,
transferred to Knapton.
Following 2 years of attending school at Knapton,
some of the Trunch pupils had to change to
Mundesley, and he was one of them.
He writes: during the best of the weather,
we could go across a footpath to Mundesley,
but not too often as it was a fair walk, although
it came out opposite the school.
In the 1950s, most of the path, within Knapton
parish, got recorded on the county councils
defnitive map of public rights of way as
Knapton Footpath No. 1, but the fnal
section, in Mundesley parish, did not
get recorded.
Up until the turn of the 20th century, the whole
path was within the same parish, so it seems odd
that the path, as currently recorded, now stops
dead at a relatively new parish boundary.
Under current legislation, historic rights of way
are in danger of getting extinguished, in the
future, unless they get properly recorded - even
where doing so would leave a recorded path
dead-ended!
It is therefore important now to consider whether
the fnal section of this path should get recorded.
If anyone has relevant information, please drop
me a line at: The Hollies, Church Lane,
Edingthorpe, NR28 9TJ or give me a
ring on: 01692 650 530.

Dear Philip,
St Margarets Church, Thorpe Market.
The news that the Big Lottery Fund Awards for
All Scheme has approved the project to improve
the car park and upgrade the re-cycling areas is
tremendously encouraging. Nearly 10,000 has
been allocated.
The access & surface will be much more user-
friendly and the recycling skips will sit on a
concrete area that can be kept clean.
The work is expected to take place before the end
of the year, whilst contractors are working the
skips will be re-positioned but still accessible.
Fly-dumping is an ever present problem and the
latest deposit of grass-cuttings & dead petunias
has generated warnings from both NNDC and
the Parish Council but is something that we
cannot prevent.
I am back at last after just under
three weeks in The land of the
long white cloud.
Be assured there were few days
of overcast weather during what
most logically minded good folks
would describe as being rather
a short trip to the other side
of the world.
I should add that after such a long
fight, just over a fortnight spent
in New Zealand is not very long
time to catch up with friends and
family out there. I would suggest
that if you ever consider visiting
NZ that you allow at least four
weeks to get around the place,
or even longer if you want to
see it properly. See our next
issue which, out on the 24th
October, for the article that
I have written about visiting
New Zealand.
I have to admit that the photos on
the Front page & pages 6 & 7
taken by Eduardo Garcia, are a
great deal better than those
usally taken by me.
Thanks very much Eduardo for
taking them for us. I would also
like to thank Chris Gurney for
emailing us the photos and the
update of what is going on
at Northrepp International
Airport on Page 8.
Northrepps International always
seems to be a great place for
any and all plane spotters.
I recall a number of great trips
fying with my father when he
was the co-owner of a Tiger
Moth, particulary when he
few it upside down.
Also on Page 8, there is a very
interesting article about Robin
Williams, spotted on facebook
by Lis, while I was away.
I have enjoyed so many of his
flms with Good Morning
Vietnam being one of my
top ten movies.
A great actor who will be missed
by so many flm goers.
Enjoy Your Crab Tales

Dear Editor,
Could you please let your readers know that on
the third Thursday of each month between 2pm
and 3pm a group of people meet at Cromer
Library to share poems they like.
On 9th October, we will each be sharing three or
four of our favourites depending on how many
turn up. We look forward to meeting new people
and sharing a wide range of poets.
Yours sincerely,
Sally Hogden,
Cromer
Dear Philip,
Through the Crab Tales I would like to say
what a huge success the Macmillan Coffee
Morning at Thorpe Market Church was.
A total of 600.52 was raised.
Thank you to all who donated items and prizes,
all those who helped and of course all those
who spent their money.
Thank you
Mandy and Hazel
Dear Philip,
Thank you very much for the tickets for the
Rat Pack Show at Cromer pier Theatre.
My husband and I enjoyed it very much - the
Artists were very authentic and the backing
band was also very good.
Unfortunately, when we came out of the theatre
and started walking back to our car which we had
parked in the Blue Badge parking spaces on the
promenade we discovered that there were no
lights along the promenade from the Pier to
the Melbourne Slope.
I understand the diffculties there have been in
remedying the damage done in the tidal surges
& storms last December, but would have thought
that lights in this area (even temporary ones)
would have been given attention by now,
especially since this route is being used by
disabled people going to performances at
the Pier Theatre in the evenings.
We will make sure we have a torch in future!
Thanks once again
Carol Melling

Dear Crab Tales Readers
Cantamus sings Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Waitrose
North Walsham for their generous donation
and to all their customers who chose our
community choir and voted with their
green disc.
We plan to use the 290 to purchase moveable
lighting for when we perform in local churches.
Our next performance will be our Christmas
concert on Saturday December 6th.
The programme of French & English promises
to be a festive affair including pieces by Marc-
Antoine Charpentier, famous for writing the
music used as theme to the Eurovision Song
Contest, as well as a selection of Christmas
Carols ranging from traditional works such
Any information as to the perpetrators would be
very welcome. Once the improvements are com-
pleted CCTV surveillance will be installed.
The news that NNDC are extending their door-
step collections of recyclable materials to include
glass was expected but not welcome.
Many charities, clubs, churches, schools etc. have
organised recycling as a funding stream for many
years and could now potentially lose that income.
It is not clear whether the councils decision to
compete in this market is to meet political targets,
or whether the costs of administration will
leave a surplus for the rate-payers.
PLEASE continue to support your local
community groups with glass and paper
donations.
If you are donating your recyclables to a
charitable collection point maybe offer to
bring family and neighbours on the same
visit. The fnancial rewards to charities are
not enormous but provide a steady income.
Currently a rebate of over 50 a tonne is
claimable and groups like Thorpe Market
Church have no means of replacing the
income lost under the new scheme.
Margaret Hunter
Dear Sir,
I would like to congratulate the following people
for their comments in your magazine, Kazik
Wrana, Hazel Taylor & Steve Randell.
Firstly Mr Randells comment of the lack of
wildlife might have been due to the fact that
they were in the dance tent which wholly
proves a point, readers take note.
None of these people live on the Mundesley road
in Trunch and I write to you in reply to them as it
has been announced only this week in national
news by the World Wildlife Fund that man is
party to the rapid decline of wildlife on our
planet so all hail to Mr Randell and his
comments he should be extremely proud.
I do in fact live in this area, I am elderly and rely
on my car to get in and out of my property, I am
also proud of all birds & other wildlife that come
into my garden there is no harm in that.
On the weekend of the Trunchonbury festival my
central heating system broke down so I had no
heating or hot water so I had to call out a
contractor to attend.
There is no reason whatsoever I can think of why
a resident should be refused access to their own
property as many other people also live along the
Mundesley road all because of the Trunchonbury
festival, I believe that the Police call it causing
an obstruction.
I would therefore ask any of the above named
people if they would have liked the road outside
their house blocked off and told they have to
stay in all weekend, as was the case, simple
answer to that is No.
Of course with vehicular access being restricted
to others, I have written a letter about this to the
World Wildlife Fund & to the tv programme
Spring/Autumn Watch, perhaps Mr Randell
and his friends including the NNDC who
apparently authorised all this would like
to explain further their comments.
I would be the frst to say that any money raised
for the good of the local charities such as The
Mundesley Lifeboat is a good thing.
Perhaps the organisers would also like to donate
to a worthy cause such as the WWF in view of
the recent national news headlines also.

After enjoying a coffee & fresh croissants at
Kelling Heath we headed off to Sheringham
where parking spaces were like gold dust but
eventually we got lucky and hit the streets.
Everywhere we went there were people in their
40s gear, from wounded soldiers to ladies with
seams in their stockings & wonderful hats, fox
furs and lovely foral dresses to whole families
dressed in style from head to foot.
Even Winston Churchill was even there or was
it his ghost we spotted in the train?
Railway men, nurses, housewives & soldiers,
were there along with the classic cars, buses
and the wonderful steam trains.
The shops had great Window displays with
everyone joining in the fun and all over the
town really jolly banter was going on.
The couple of hours we spent in Sheringham
were delightful and thanks so very much to
everyone who took part and many thanks to
Eduardo Garcia for these photographs.

Many also come to play golf or to visit the
Cromer Tennis week.
We also get a few business people fying in for
meetings and believe it or not, people fying their
children in to go to Camp Beaumont at either
Runton or Overstrand. Others just come to
enjoy the peace and tranquillity and our
wonderful scenery.
Tourism is a vital part of Nth Norfolks growing

We have had a busy year as the fnancial climate
improves and we get many visitors coming for
a day at the seaside, they grab a taxi into town,
enjoy some fsh & chips, take a stroll on the
prom and get some of our famous crabs to
take home for tea.
Several regulars have a static caravan or holiday
home in the area and some come most weekends
in the summertime.
N.Norfolks best kept secret
Articles and photos have appeared from time
to time in the Crab Tails but still many dont
realise we are here or what we do..
We moved to our present site, our 4th home since
the mid 1930s, in around 2008 and we have
strived to build up to what we have today.
We have 2 grass runways, basic amenities, an
old farm building and 2 poly-tunnel type hangars.
We also operate a small Camping and Caravan
Club site. We have 2 Flying Clubs; Northrepps
Aero Club & The Northrepps Model Flying Club.
We have some 20 odd aircraft based here and
the Aero Club undertakes both fying training
and trial fights. We operate both a fxed wing
and a fex wing aircraft for these fights.
We also host the Aerobatic and Parachute
teams for the Cromer Carnival.
Our mix of regular visitors includes vintage
Bi-planes through to the modern near silent
plastic fantastics which are carbon fbre
with lightweight engines and are less
noisy, more fuel effcient and thus
more Eco-friendly

Cantamus are now rehearsing for our concert
on Thursdays at 7.30pm in Southrepps Church.
We are delighted to have so many new members
this term. We are a very friendly choir prone to
exercising our vocal chords in laughter as much
as song. If you love singing do come along.
No auditions are required.
Our singers are of mixed ability, some extremely
experienced; others whose only experience is
in the shower and with our strong community
spirit, you will be surprised how soon youll
become part of our happy choral team and
looking forward to the rehearsals.
As our members come from Sheringham to

Letter Continued From Page 4 Robin Williams
Years ago I learned a very cool thing about
Robin Williams, and I couldnt watch a movie
of his afterward without thinking of it.
I never actually booked Robin Williams for an
event, but I came close enough that his offce
sent over his rider. For those outside of the
entertainment industry, a rider lists out an
artists specifc personal & technical needs
for hosting them for an event - anything
from bottled water and their green room
to sound and lighting requirements.
You can learn a lot about a person from their rider.
This is where rocks bands list their requirement
for green M&Ms (actually a surprisingly smart
thing to do).
This is also where a famous environmentalist
requires a large gas-guzzling private jet to fy
to the event city, but then requires an electric
or hybrid car to take said environmentalist to
the event venue when in view of the public.
When I got Robin Williams rider, I was very
surprised by what I found. He actually had a
requirement that for every single event or flm
he did, the company hiring him also had to
hire a certain number of homeless people
and put them to work.
I never watched a Robin Williams movie the
same way after that.
Im sure that on
his own time &
his own money,
he was working
with these people
in need, but hed
also decided to
use his clout as
an entertainer
to make sure
the production
companies and
event planners
also learned the
value of giving
people a chance
to work their
way back.
I wonder how many production companies
continued the practice into their next non-
Robin Williams project, as well as how
many people got a chance at a job and
the pride of earning an income, even
temporarily, from his actions.
He was a great multiplier of his impact.
Lets hope that impact lives on without him.
Thanks, Robin Williams- not just for laughs,
but also for a cool example.

Seasonal Flu
Flu can be unpleasant, but if you are otherwise
healthy it will usually clear up on its own
within a couple of weeks.
Infuenza (fu) has many symptoms including
fever, tiredness, aches and pains, headache, sore
throat & cough. Most people who are otherwise
ft and well do not need to see a doctor with
fu but DO need to treat the symptoms.
Paracetomol and/or ibuprofen will help the fever,
headache and aches whilst a cough linctus (ask
your local pharmacy for one suitable for you)
will help the cough. It is important to rest whilst
you have fu and most people end up on the sofa
or in bed! Drink plenty of fuids (you may lose
your appetite), take regular pain killers and be
aware that whilst the acute symptoms of fever
etc. resolve in around a week, the general fatigue
associated with fu often takes another week or
two to resolve completely and you may need
some time off work at this stage.
If you have a fever you are probably infectious
so please avoid coming to the surgery and
spreading the fu, but ask the receptionist
to make you a telephone appointment.
If symptoms are not resolving within 2 weeks of
onset or you have a chronic medical condition it
may be worth discussing your symptoms with a
nurse or doctor because fu can be more severe
in certain people, such as:
anyone over the age of 65
pregnant women
children and adults with an underlying health
condition (particularly long-term heart or
respiratory disease)
children and adults with weakened immune
systems
Anyone in these risk groups is more likely to
develop potentially serious complications of
fu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), so
its recommended that they have a fu vaccine
every year to protect them.
The fu vaccine is given free on the NHS as an
annual injection to:
adults over the age of 18 at risk of fu
(including everyone over 65)
children aged 6 mths to 2 years at risk of fu
The fu vaccine is given as an annual nasal
spray to:
children aged two to 17 years at a particular
risk of fu
healthy children aged two, three and four
years old
Studies have shown that the fu jab does work
and will help prevent you getting the fu.
It wont stop all fu viruses (and it will not protect
against the common cold) and the level of
protection may vary between people, so its not
a 100% guarantee that youll be fu-free, but
if you do get fu after vaccination it is likely
to be milder and shorter-lived than it would
otherwise have been.
There is also evidence to suggest that the fu
jab can reduce your risk of having a stroke.
Over time, protection from the injected fu
vaccine gradually decreases and fu strains
often change.
For this reason new fu vaccines are produced
each year which is why people advised to
have the fu jab need it every year too.
The best time to have a fu vaccine is in the
autumn so contract your GP practice now to
arrange your vaccination.

Trust continues to provide the non-emergency

Great Yarmouth and Waveney and the rest of
Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Patients who live in Gt. Yarmouth and who use
the NHS patient transport service for that area

New Look For NHS..
......patient transport service
The NHS patient transport service for Norfolk
(excluding Great Yarmouth) undergoes a new
look next week. The telephone access number
also changes.
From October 1st, the service will be provided
by ERS Medical.
ERS Medical is a major force in providing
non-emergency ambulance services to the
NHS across the country.
ERS Medical is already a familiar name in the
area as its courier division has been operating
around Norfolk since July 2012.
Its feet of courier vehicles service the Norfolk
and Norwich University Hospitals and Queen
Elizabeth Hospital, Kings Lynn as well as GP
surgeries, dentists & podiatrists in the region.
ERS Medical was awarded the 5-year contract
to provide the service across all of Norfolk,
excluding Gt.Yarmouth and Waveney, by the
NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups for
Norwich, South Norfolk, West Norfolk
and North Norfolk.
The service carries patients who are registered
with a GP Practice in Norwich, South, West or
North Norfolk, who have a medical need and
who are unable to travel without assistance.
About 115,000 patient journeys were
undertaken in 2013/14.
For patients there will be no change in service.
If eligible, patients will still be taken to their
appointment via patient transport vehicles.
Regular patients will recognise familiar faces
because many of the staff have transferred to
ERS Medical. The telephone number to book
journeys has changed. Patients who believe
they may be eligible and need to make a
booking will now call 0333 240 4100.
Mark Taylor, Chief Executive
Offcer N. Norfolk CCG said:
We are pleased to have re-procured
a contract to run this service in
compliance with public sector
legislation.
There were a number of bidders but
ERS Medical was chosen because of
the quality of the service offered
and importantly, the value for
taxpayers money.
It will be good to work with ERS
Medical and we have confdence
that together we will continue an
excellent & valued NHS service
to our patients.
Chief Managing Director for ERS
Brendan Fatchett, said:
We are delighted to expand our
offering in Norfolk and build on the
existing services weve been delivering to the
area and look forward to continuing to work
with the Norfolk community and delivering a
service focussed on patient care.
ERS Medical is also working with Voluntary
Norfolk to bring the Car Link Volunteer
Drivers Scheme back into operation.
The Scheme will recruit & train volunteer drivers
to transport patients and clients to health, social
care and wellbeing appointments.
Additionally, its national apprenticeship scheme,
in partnership with YMCA Training, will see
ERS Medical offering career opportunities
locally to candidates aged 18 to 24.
The scheme presents an opportunity to work
within the healthcare sector on either a one
or 2-year fxed term contract while gaining
Level 2 and 3 NVQ qualifcations.

Last Night Of The
Pier Show
A very upbeat opening to a completely packed
house, driven by a very energetic cast.
You could almost touch the atmosphere - the
audience were warm and welcoming and
eager to enjoy their last show.
It is such a pleasure to be able to enjoy this
Variety Show here in Cromer.
We had a giddy mix - all top notch - singers,
musicians, dancers, comedian / impressionist
and Marlenes Dance School pupils.
Ravels Bolero routine was extremely
stimulating - beautiful delivery - once
is not enough!
A special commendation to all those in Front of
House and behind the scenes - Goal attained.
The production has an emotional punch, an
experience to be cherished.
Front Seat Jo was very emotional, so unhappy
it was ending - I know how much she cares, not
really that long lovely, until you are sitting in
your special seat. Cromer Christmas Show and
their audience will be together again at 7pm.
on Saturday 29th November through until
Saturday 27th December.
The end song Cromer Cabana - an interesting
new title, left you feeling elated and eager for
the next time - Well meet again.
Cindy Johnson.

New Art & Theatre
Building
Work on the new 1.5m Art & Theatre refurbish-
ment is progressing well at Paston Sixth Form
College & due to be completed in January 2015.
Residents in North Walsham have a clear view
of the project and have monitored its progress.
SMG Architects have retained the character
of the 1930s building on the outside, but
completely transformed the interior.
The roof construction has used recycled tiles from
the old roof, which have been cleaned and put
on the new frame. Similarly all the windows
will be refurbished and improved to retain
the character of the building.
The company, Draper & Nichols Ltd, who built
the award winning Scarburgh Science Centre at
the College, have completely gutted the internal
areas and will soon start the intensive
rebuilding programme.
The Art area will have four new classrooms,
a dark room, new equipment and a gallery
area entrance.
The new theatre will have a new entrance,
a larger performance area, new seating
and changing rooms, with storage and
toilet facilities.
The College have worked with a consultant
to include the latest up to date lighting and
production equipment, to support the award
winning Far East Youth Theatre Company.

The Pastor Asked....
....if anyone in the congregation would like to
express praise for answered prayers.
Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium.
She said: I have a praise. Two months ago, my
husband, Phil, had a terrible bicycle wreck and
his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain
was excruciating and the doctors didnt know
if they could help him.
You could hear a muffed gasp from the men in
the congregation as they imagine the pain that
poor Phil must have experienced.
Phil was unable to hold me or the children, and
every move caused him terrible pain.We prayed
as the doctors performed a delicate operation,
and it turned out they were able to piece
together the crushed remnants of Phils
scrotum, and wrap wire around it to
hold it in place.
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and
squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the
horrible surgery performed on Phil.
Now, she announced in a quivering voice,
thank the Lord, Phil is out of the hospital
and the doctors say that with time, his
scrotum should recover completely.
All the men sighed with unifed relief.
The pastor rose and tentatively asked if
anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly
to the podium.
He said: Im Phil.
The entire congregation held its breath.
I just want to tell my wife the word
is sternum.
Thanks to David Thorne for this
