The Marsham Belles, a ladies hand bell ringing group, have

recently had their AGM to discuss their visits last year and plan
this years programme. With this in mind they would be pleased
to hear from any groups, or residential homes etc who would like
to have us come and play for them. We do not make a charge
as such but appreciate a donation towards the insurance costs
of the bells and travelling, in normally takes two or three cars
depending on the venue, as all ringers do not live in Marsham.
We do have rehearsals most Wednesday afternoons and anyone
is welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and to chat over possible
dates. Please contact either Lesley Willcocks on leswillco@
mail.com or 01263 734115 or myself Hazel Kingswood on
hm.kingswood@hotmail.com or 01263 734091 for more
information.
HISTORY OF HANDBELLS
The first tuned handbells were developed by brothers Robert and
William Cor in Aldbourne, Wiltshire, England, between 1696
and 1724.[1] The Cor brothers originally made latten bells for
hame boxes,[2] but for reasons unknown, they began tuning their
bells more finely to have an accurate fundamental tone, and fitted
them with hinged clappers that moved only in one plane.[1]
Originally, tuned sets of handbells, such as the ones made by the
Cor brothers, were used by change ringers to rehearse outside
their towers. Tower bell ringers enthusiasm for practicing the
complicated algorithms of change ringing can easily exceed the
neighbours patience, so in the days before modern sound control
handbells offered them a way to continue ringing without the
aural assault. The handbell sets used by change ringers had the
same number of bells as in the towers - generally six or 12 tuned
to a diatonic scale

Solar power Crushes Cromer

Litter
A revolutionary smart litter bin powered by solar energy is being trialled

by North Norfolk District Council in Cromer.
The smart solar powered litter bin crushes rubbish down to stop litter
being blown around the town. The trial of the bin started on 10 February
and runs through to Easter.
The Clean Cube is a compactor litter bin near to No1 Fish and Chip
Shop in Cromer. Its larger than a normal litter bin and when the
litter reaches a certain height it compacts the waste within by using a
hydraulic ram.
Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member
for the Environment said: We are trialling this new bin to see how
successful it could be in reducing the volume of waste so that our
bins can be used for longer. I think its great that were putting smart
technology to work to help protect the environment.
The solar powered Clean Cube can hold up to eight times the amount of
litter of a normal litter bin; and the solar panel uses daylight to charge
the internal battery.
The smart solar bin also tells the team how full it is and when it was
last emptied. It is hoped that the trial, which took place over the halfterm break will be a good test of what it can do.

FROM THE EDITOR.

Bacton Fun Day
Over 250 supporters came to the Fun Football day at
Bacton on Sat 27 the weather was glorious and the
funds raised still being counted more details
next edition.
I was accused of trivialising road closed signs probably true, but having
travelled into Broadland a couple of weeks ago the practise of putting
up road closed signs and then not working on the roads or even having
obstacles on the road also happens there.
I was in Brundall, if these signs become like the cry 'Wolf', when they
are actually a genuine warning especially at night there could be horrific
consequences!Come on Highways maintenance tidy away when not in
use for all our sakes!
My new dog Sasha was introduced to you all through Animal Magic
last edition I decided to insure her with 'More Than' I have only paid
one monthly payment, Sasha has made sure we have our monies worth
and given me a few more grey hairs but thanks to Jane, Michaela and
the team at Miramar Vets of Cromer and Sheringham I am sleeping at
nights, as they removed a conker from her gut which had stopped all
natural workings for a couple of days but had probably been working its
way through her system since last autumn!
I totally recommend all pet owners buying insurance, Sasha is not sure
of the colour but otherwise is quite content in her Recovery Suit.
I will not print my thoughts on the proposed raise for our councillors but
please let me have your comments to print!
Enjoy your Crab Tales

Dear Editor,
With regard to your editorial in Crab Tales
Issue 79 regarding the road works on the coast
road. The fines that you referred to (if
they DO become legislation) only apply to A
roads which the coast road is not. Secondly,
any drivers continuing to drive through a road
closure are liable for a 100 fine and three
points on their license if seen by the Police.
I feel that the article was misleading as far
as the comments about the fine, and slightly
irresponsible applauding drivers who had
ignored the signs. To enable an Authority
to close a road to through traffic, a license
has to be gained from the council to do so,
and the road closure is actioned by a Traffic
Management company NOT the Authority who
is actually repairing the road. This would have
been granted as an emergency closure due to a
burst water main and the road was closed due
to safety reasons as such a large leak could
cause the road to subside. There are reasons
for road closures which are not immediately
obvious to drivers and should be obeyed.
Kim Mitchell.
Ed..Next youll be telling me Cones arnt
funny. See page 13 for cone joke.
Dear Editor,
How do your readers react to our local District
Councillors awarding themselves a 23% pay
rise this year?
Although I am in no doubt that most of our
local District Councillors rightly deserve a
small increase in payments made to them, but
23% is far too high, particularly when they are
closing facilities and increasing charges such as
car parking fees.
How is this being paid? Answer by increasing
car parking charges by 30p per hour in tourist
towns, beach hut fees rising by approx.. 133%,
and some local facilities, including toilets,
being earmarked for closure etc. etc.
Funding for our local authorities is being cut
back over recent years, but these are only a few
of the planned changes while at the same time
Council employees are being given a mere 1%
increase in income this year, the Tory group are
over paying themselves in comparison?
At the last election in no councillor said they
would award themselves a 23% pay increase
or impose more cuts and charges. Councillors
have ignored the strength of feeling against this
23% pay rise.
What do you think?

Dear Editor,
Im wondering if you may be able to help? A
group of very enthusiastic people have been
faithful attendees to deep water Aqua Therapy
classes which I teach and have been running
for nearly ten years. Sadly, we have just lost
our venue. What we require to continue our
regular classes is a heated indoor swimming
pool which is either all deep water or mostly
1.8 - 2 metres depth. We wear buoyancy belts
which allow movement against the resistance
of the belt and the water: a very significant
work out indeed. It is a form of exercise
which is not widely taught but nevertheless is
extremely effective for any age, rehabilitation
from injury/replacement joints, fitness level,
disablement, or for the very fit. It is great fun
and everyone can work to their own ability.
If you are aware of any pool which could
possibly be rented for our purpose, please do
get in touch with Liz King, who very kindly
volunteered this request via The Cromer Crab
Tales
Many thanks,
Carole.
Dear Editor,

Local Author heads for
The Moon!
The clear night skies of North Norfolk were

the perfect inspiration for a trip to the Moon
according to local author, Bob Goddard, whose
latest creation, Mother Moon, is published this
month (March). The novel is set in a colony
at the Moons south pole, something currently
planned by the European Space Agency.
But the story doesnt end there. The 336 page
book also features a second tale, set aboard a
wooden sailing ship in the year 1504. These
two apparently unconnected stories weave
together to reach a shocking conclusion the
secret to mankinds existence on Earth in the
final chapter. And judging by early reviews
the heady mix has paid off, with claims the
book should be turned into a film to rival The
Martian.
Review excerpts:
Highly enjoyable! Well researched
and thought provoking! - The Ardent
Reader, Amazon, Goodreads.
The book is well-written and wellpaced, and kept me enthralled all the
way through. You cant ask for more
than that. Ive put this author on my
watch list, and hope hes already
working on his next novel. - David
Rose, Amazon.com.
Stockists include Jarrolds in Norwich
and Cromer, Barnwells in Aylsham,
and the Holt Bookshop. All three
titles are available direct from the
publishers website: www.timbuktupublishing.co.uk and also in kindle
and paperback formats from Amazon.

New post to help

Norfolk County
Council target Blue
Badge fraud.
Norfolk County Council is recruiting a Blue
Badge investigations Officer to help clamp
down on fraud in the county.
The new role, which has been funded by
the Norfolk Parking Partnership, will be
implemented as a result of concerns about the
mis-use of Blue Badges.
Currently, there is no specific resource to
investigate concerns so the person in post
will look into reports of inappropriate use of
the blue badge and take appropriate action.
This will range from advice and education to
prosecution in accordance with Norfolk County
Councils Enforcement Policy.
Mis-use of a blue badge includes using a
badge that doesnt belong to that person
enabling them to park in a disabled persons
parking bay or on double yellow lines for
convenience or to avoid paying parking
charges. It also includes using a badge which
has expired or is defaced; using a fake badge;
or using a copy of a badge.
The new post is being supported by the local
district councils who are aware of inappropriate
use of blue badges happening on a regular basis
across the county. Particular concerns are that
shop owners and retail workers in resort towns
especially are using the blue badge for easy
parking near to their business premises.
Cllr Mick Castle, Chairman of the Norfolk
Parking Partnership Joint Committee, said:
I very much welcome the new position as
additional enforcement is clearly needed. Blue
Badges can be a real lifeline for people who
rely on them to do daily tasks which many of
us may take for granted, such as shopping and
accessing services like their doctors surgery.
Norfolk County Council provides disabled
bays in town centres as near to amenities as
possible so that people with genuine needs can
park as close as possible. Blue badge holders
can also park without restriction in any other
parking bay and or up to three hours on double
yellow lines. So when people park in these
locations fraudulently they are preventing
people with genuine needs from accessing
services.
The Blue Badge Investigations Officer will
be supported by the county councils trading
standards team who already carry out similar
enforcement work. Team Manager for Network
Management at Norfolk County Council, Dave
Stephens, said: They will be part of the county
council team who support the delivery of Civil
Parking Enforcement. It will be an important
role to help ensure effective operation of the
highway network.
Although the Investigations Officer will
be there to educate people and undertake
enforcement, it is also important for blue badge
holders to take responsibility themselves and
know the rules governing the scheme. The
badge is for the sole use of the person named
on it and misusing the badge is a criminal
offence which can lead to a 1,000 fine.
Inappropriate use of a blue badge can restrict
turnover in limited waiting parking spaces
which can affect local businesses or result in
traffic congestion as double yellow lines are
provided to keep areas free from parked cars.
Jonathan Toy from West Norfolk Disability
information Service said: Blue Badges are a
vital resource for someone whose mobility is
limited.
CONT.....
BLUE BADGE CONT...

They allow a disabled person to park as near as
possible to their destination. Misuse by people
who do not require this help makes life harder
for disabled people. Far too often the parking
bays set aside for Blue Badge holders are
misused. Its important that supermarkets and
the like police these bays properly.

one year, can be viewed at: http://www.norfolk.

Celebrating The Queens 90th

birthday in North Norfolk
Just in case your invitation to the Palace

gets lost in the post.
Chairman of North Norfolk District Council will host tea
party
Everyone living in North Norfolk who was born in 1930 or
earlier is being invited to a special royal tea party to celebrate
The Queens 90th birthday.
The tea party will be hosted by Cllr Annie ClaussenReynolds, Chairman of North Norfolk District Council, on
April 21, the date of The Queens actual birthday.
It will be held at Swanton Novers Village Hall between
2pm and 5pm and there will be tea, cake, a tea dance,
entertainment and reminiscing.
To register for the party, go online at http://royalteaparty.
eventbrite.co.uk or call Lydia Hall on 01263 516047.
Mrs Claussen-Reynolds said: I am really looking forward
to meeting and celebrating this unique occasion with North
Norfolks octogenarians, nonagenarians and perhaps we will
be lucky enough to welcome some centenarians.
Registrations need to be complete by March 14. Formal
invitations and further information about the event will
be sent by March 31. Organisers are particularly keen to
invite people who, like the Queen, will celebrate their 90th
birthdays this year.
Companions, spouses and carers are welcome, but their
details must be included on the registration forms.

What the dowst?

About with Friends supporters Ann and Malcolm Lown have
once again raised a tremendous amount of money for the Cromerbased charity by organising a facebook competition amongst
family and friends. In 2014 they raised over 500 by posting
photos of places in Norfolk and asking facebook friends to guess
where they were taken. Both the Lowns and the guesser popped
a pound in the pot when they got one right. Last year, the photo
competition was even harder as they posted close-up photos of
everyday (and not so everyday) objects and asked people to guess
what they were. They called the competition What the dowst?
Which is the Norfolk dialect equivalent of What the deuce? or
What the devil? This time they raised an incredible 805 which
they handed over to the charity yesterday.
The money is to be used to kit out the organisations base in Holt
Road with a giant projector screen, projector and surround system
so youth and adult social members can watch movies just like
they were at the cinema. The system will also be used for training
and conferences.
About With Friends, who offer people with learning disabilities
the chance to lead the lives they choose, run a range of services
for people from the age of 8 upwards. This includes social
activities, respite breaks, supported living, and their groundbreaking Workskills programme where adults with learning
disabilities are supported in commercial work ventures.
The photo shows Malcolm and Ann presenting the cheque to
member Emily Voutt. Also pictured are members Stuart Phillips
(centre), Danielle Tarrant (Far right), Sam Copeman (front left)
and Biddy Butcher (front right)
Cromer Coast ProtectionScheme

Close to Completion
The 8 million pound scheme which restarted in September last year
is close to completion, with the final stage being the resurfacing of
Cromers iconic Promenade.
Letters outlining the final stages of the work have been given to
traders and retailers along the Promenade from Melbourne Slope to the
Gangway to explain what will be happening between now and the end of
March.
Due to the nature of the work the area between Melbourne Slope and
the Gangway will be cordoned off from the public as the surface of the
promenade has to be cut away exposing manhole covers, gullies and
other ironwork before being resurfaced later.
Special arrangements are being made to open up pedestrian access to as
many retailers as possible over the Easter weekend period.
REPORT ON
BACTON
FUNDAY
NEXT
EDITION.
During the Easter weekend vehicle access will be restricted to

drop-offs for people with disabilities attending Pier shows and special
parking arrangements will be made for residents.
A pedestrian corridor will give access from the Gangway to the

Pier and east end shops over the Easter weekend.
There will be access to the west end amusement arcade via the
steps from the top of Melbourne Slope.
Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said:

The Cromer Coast Protection Scheme is vitally important. It will
protect Cromer, its residents, its businesses and its visitors for many
years to come.

how to Take Control of psoriasis Instead

of having ItTake Control of you!
Although psoriasis is a very common condition and certainly a part of the bread and butter of
general practice, it is often thought of by many as being a very minor nuisance factor problems.
However this is definitely not the case as many sufferers will be able to testify. This chronic
condition can have a huge impact upon peoples quality of life, confidence and even social
functioning. This is particularly true if they are not well managed and in this brief article I would
like to share some general advice about how to cope with this condition which will hopefully
empower you to take control of your skin.
Psoriasis- What is it?
Psoriasis is another common skin problem. In psoriasis there is a problem with the production of
new skin cells. In normal circumstances skin cells are formed in the bottom layer of the skin and
travel up gradually to the top layer where they are usually shed after 3-4 weeks. In psoriasis this
process is accelerated and cells are formed and then shed in as little as 3 or 4 days. This gives
rise to the inflammation seen on the surface of the skin in psoriasis. As with eczema there can be
a genetic tendency in some cases although in others it may be triggered by things such as throat
infections, smoking, high alcohol intake and certain medications. Dietary factors are not thought
to be involved.
There are different subtypes of psoriasis. The most common type is plaque psoriasis where there
are well defined scaly areas on the skin which often appear pinky red and silvery. Other less
common forms include:

Guttate psoriasis: Small patches of psoriasis which appear shortly after a sore throat
Pustular psoriasis: Characterised by yellow or brown pustules. This type often affects
the palms or soles
Nail psoriasis: Nail changes are seen in half of patients with psoriasis and can include
pitting, thickening, discolouration or separation of the nail from the bed
Scalp psoriasis: Psoriasis often affects the scalp and can be mistaken for simple dandruff
Erythodermic psoriasis: A potentially serious but rare form where the entire surface of
the skin becomes red.
What can I do about Psoriasis?
Stop smoking- smoking is known to worsen psoriasis and is the trigger in some cases
Reduce alcohol: Heavy intake can trigger flares in some people
Stress management: as high stress levels can affect the severity of psoriasis
Seek medical advice about treatment: The mainstay of treatment in most cases is creams
and ointments as in eczema. As with eczema, emollient therapy is also useful and all of the same
advice applies. There are several specific treatments for psoriasis - these include vitamin D based
treatments (such as Calcipotriol), steroid creams/ointments (often a stronger strength is required),
coal tar preparations, salicylic acid, Dithranol and Tazarotene. In some cases combinations are
used. Shampoos are available for the treatment of scalp symptoms. As this aspect of treatment can
be quite complex it is vital to discuss with a GP who will be able to advise further. In some cases
a specialist referral can be needed to consider other treatments such as tablets or ultraviolet light

Keep an eye on your weight, exercise levels and blood

pressure- this is because research in recent years has shown that psoriasis
is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Womens League of Health & Beauty
No, not the organisation that 007 faces in the next Bond
Movie but something far more surprising .
In 1930 Mary Bagot Stack created the Womens League
of Health & Beauty. Her vision was of a league of
women who will renew their energy in themselves and
for themselves day by day. She believed in the power of
women to make the world a better place to live in.
Her work started in London where in 1925 she opened
her Bagot Stack Health School. By 1930 she had trained
enough enthusiastic young teachers to help her launch
her Womens League which enjoyed immediate and
outstanding success the growth was spectacular. Mary
Bagot Stack was a total inspiration and her health training
classes combined exactly the right mixture of hard work
and fun so that after only 7 years since its inception 166,000
women had joined the League.
This pioneering concept changed its name to the Fitness
League in 1999 but the ideals of empowerment, inclusion
and that all women can be the best that she can be, remain.
For Women in our area its Annamarie that offers the
Fitness League classes. Annamarie, a local mum of four
spoke to Crabtales to explain the concept.,
Fitness League classes combine movement with a strong
central core and body strengthening
exercises. Our focus is on developing good posture and
correct body alignment, and lengthening
and strengthening muscle groups to encourage full range
of movement. You then become more
body aware, and feel taller, stronger and more mobile.
Classes are suitable for participants of all
abilities, ages and shapes, and are taught to music in a fun
and friendly environment. Bagot Stack
classes provide a complete body exercise. No previous
dance or exercise experience is needed.
Of course, nowadays many other forms of exercise are
available and women have so many more
lifestyle choices. Whats different about Fitness League is
that classes are about learning to use
our bodies better and become the best version of ourselves
that we can be, rather than aiming for
a quick x or an unrealistic ideal. They are classes for real
women in todays world, just as they
always have been.
The ladies in Annamaries classes are happy to sing her
praises.
A wonderful class. It does wonders for my poor posture.
The hour flies by and everyone has fun.
Shelia - Mundesley
As an older member of the class my aim is to stay active
and healthy. Having a fully qualified
teacher is the answer. Thank you Annamarie

aiming to encourage visitors to Walk Cromer and to use some
of the excellent public transport links. Cromer is the hub for
access to a superb range of footpaths and National Trails, as well
as many more local walking routes.
We are delighted that many local traders & accommodation
providers are displaying our window stickers, encouraging
walkers to stay, shop, take tea, or enjoy a delicious pint, muddy
boots & all!
North Norfolk Information Centre staff have been a great asset,
offering help & advice, displaying our banner & selling our cute
little Cromer-Sheringham Pocket Walk & information packs.
In 2016 we will be adding more walks to this series, and now
each will contain discount vouchers for use in local shops &
businesses.
Our first Discount voucher is in partnership with Mountain
Warehouse, offering 10% off on presentation of the discount
card. We are looking for more businesses to add vouchers to the
packs, the scheme is free to enter and should encourage more
customers through your door.
Space is limited, and the entry deadline is 30th March. Download
the application form from: walkcromer.co.uk
Our Pocket Walk Packs are available from the North Norfolk

Free Health Checks for

local fishermen under
Public Health scheme
During March and April this year, Public Health Norfolk will be
returning to the Norfolk coast to offer free quayside health checks to the
areas fishermen.
Norfolk County Councils Public Health team, which commissions
health checks for men aged 40-74, has teamed up with a national charity,
the Fishermens Mission. The Fish Well scheme will be bringing the
popular NHS health checks, which usually take place in pharmacies and
GPs surgeries, out onto the quayside.
Making use of the Fishermens Mission mobile office to bring health
care to the workplace, they will enable local fishermen to access services
they wouldnt otherwise have been able to benefit from, due to their long
unpredictable hours at sea.
Fishermen who come along to the mobile office will receive a full
health check, lasting between 20-30 minutes. This range of simple,
confidential tests check circulatory and cardiovascular health, and
provide personalised advice that can help prevent stroke, diabetes and
kidney disease. Also in attendance will be the Health Trainers, who
provide simple help and support to improve health both on and off shore.
Everyone who takes part in a health check will receive a goody bag
funded by the Sea Farers Hospital Society. This will contain a reusable
water bottle, picnic box, hand sanitiser, fishermens health manual, and
information on living a healthy lifestyle.
The scheme last visited the area five years ago, and the team are
welcoming previous visitors to check their progress, as well as new faces
looking to find out how they can reduce their risk of illness. Theyre also
keen to talk to younger men, as well as friends and family, who can find
out about improving their health at work and home, including dental
health and screening programmes.
Health checks will be taking place on:
Cromer Promenade (next to Henry Blogg museum), 3-4 March 2016,
9.30am 4.30pm
Wells Quay, 9-10 March 2016, 10am 4.30pm
Kings Lynn Port Entrance, 20-21 April 2016, 9.30am 4.30pm
To book an NHS Fish Well Health Check, contact the Fishermens

Mission on 01502 565269, or email lowestoftcentre@

Christmas arrived early in December 2015 for a poorly grey seal pup
christened Blitzen. The gorgeous pup was rescued from Mundesley
Beach by Stephanie on 9th December 2015.
Stephanie is Mundesleys very own Marine Medic in addition to being
a Coastwatch Keeper. Two additional Mundesley Coastwatch Keepers,
Peter and Ken, joined in the December rescue by carrying the ailing
pup to the ramp to await the arrival of Nat from the Sea Life Centre in
Hunstanton.
Blitzen was very underweight at just 18kgs and was dehydrated. He had
a very swollen muzzle and lots of small bite marks to his shoulders, hips
and flippers. Poor little Blitzen was also hypoglaecemic.
Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary has done an amazing job caring for
Blitzen, in its fantastic modern rehabilitation facility, nursing him back
to health.
The Mundesley Coastwatch Crew went on to adopt Blitzen so that they
would be able to follow him through his rehabilitation journey and back
to the wild. We were thrilled to be invited to his release back in to his
natural environment.
Blitzen is now a healthy 45kg and was released on 11th February at
Winterton -on-Sea. The release was managed by Hollie and Nat from
Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary accompanied by a very proud and happy
Stephanie. The joyous return to nature was supported and watched by a
group of Coastwatch Keepers: Nick, Jeremy, Pete and John. Nick very
kindly said a few words to wish Blitzen well as he headed off to the sea
as though he had never been away.

Blitzen was joined in his release by a lovely young lady called Rudolph
who was rescued from Winterton-on-Sea. By coincidence, as the seals
were released, the couple who had reported the poorly Rudolph being
stranded, came upon the release party and were able to join in with the
good news.
Stephanie would like to publicly thank Sea Lifes wonderful animal care
team for all their very, very hard work. Three more of the Coast Watch
Crew are hoping to train as Marine Medics which will give us more
coverage along the coast. The Marine Medic work is all voluntary, as is
Coastwatch, and we are happy to receive donations to help us carry on
with keeping our eyes along the coast as well as helping to keep our
beautiful wildlife safe.

More Norfolk young people

sought after Duke of Edinburgh
programme helps young woman
become a firefighter
Happisburgh gets go-ahead for

Neighbourhood Area
NNDC has approved the application of Happisburgh Parish Council to

designate the parish area as a Neighbourhood Area. The application
was approved at the Cabinet meeting on 8 February.
The Government introduced the community right to undertake
Neighbourhood Planning through the Localism Act.
The designation of a Neighbourhood Area enables, but does not obligate,
the Parish Council to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. Such plans may
contain local policies or proposals relating to the development of
land, and, once adopted, becomes part of the wider statutory Local
Development Plan for North Norfolk.
For more information on Neighbourhood Planning, including a map
showing the approved Happisburgh Neighbourhood Area, please visit
www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/neighbourhoodplans
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service is appealing for more young people
locally to take part in a Duke of Edinburgh Award programme that
the service runs, and which has recently helped a young woman from
London to become a firefighter.
Norfolks is the only Fire and Rescue Service in the country to run the
week-long Duke of Edinburgh Award Gold Residential programme.
The programme takes place five times a year (during school holidays),
providing 17-25 year olds from across the UK with an opportunity to
experience tasks and activities related to Fire and Rescue Service work.
Based at Fakenham Fire Station, the programme focuses on tasks and
challenges, and just like operational crews, those taking part work, eat
and rest together to provide a realistic experience of what its like to be
part of a Fire and Rescue Service.
The scheme has been running for five years in total and Izzy Ryan, 21,
from London, recently became the first student from the course to be
employed as a full-time firefighter joining London Fire Brigade.
After successfully completing the course in Norfolk in 2013, Izzy
returned to the county last summer (2015) to volunteer with the Fire and
Rescue Service, helping firefighters to run the Duke of Edinburgh course
that she had attended two years before.
Izzy said: It has been without a doubt the toughest thing I have had
to do but the most rewarding opportunity. To be 21 years of age and
have fulfilled my ambition to become a firefighter is amazing. I have a
lot of people and organisations to thank for getting me to this point and
giving me all these brilliant opportunities from volunteering as a fire
cadet instructor in London, to being an applicant on the Norfolk Fire
and Rescue Service D of E residential, to being given the opportunity
to come back and volunteer with Norfolk Fire and Rescue. Its been an
amazing journey so far.
Mark Keddie, Duke of Edinburgh Award Advisor at Norfolk Fire and
Rescue Service, said: It is fantastic that we attract young people from
all over the country and beyond. However, we would encourage more
local young people to think about taking part as this is an excellent
opportunity for them right on their doorstep in Norfolk. Employers
recognise that the DofE helps young people to develop essential workready skills including resilience, commitment, self-motivation and
team working, and that D of E Award holders are just the type of young
recruits they want in their workplaces.
Of course, the programme also provides great fire and rescue
experience. We were delighted that Izzy took up the challenge of our
course in Norfolk, returned to volunteer with us, and that experience
has helped play a part in her, deservingly, securing a fire fighter role in
London. She has achieved her ambition of joining London Fire Brigade,
in her home city, and we wish her every success.

and Rescue Service website link - http://www.norfolkfireservice.gov.

THE LATEST
INSTALMENT
IN OUR
MUNDESLEY
MUMBLINGS
SEASON.
16
Well, another half term survived! This one was very eventful with so much going on around
the locality it was hard to choose where to go. The highlight was definitely freezing our
fingers and toes off in the snow and hail at the Viking festival for the procession down through
Sheringham to the beach to burn the long boat. Anything that involves fighting men, flames
and lots of shouting makes my prodigal very happy! Less so for those of us with him as
frostbite nipped at all our extremities. But good show to the Viking re-enactors, who were
amazing albeit very blue looking by the end of the procession! The highlight though had to
be getting to Norwich Castle to see Hiccup the dragon trainer and a brilliant exhibition I
am not sure who had the most fun at times the adults or the children. There as there were
so many opportunities to dress up and make a fool of yourself and all without the aid of
alcohol! Most notable though, was a couple of days later seeing the grandparents making full
use of my sons Viking helmet uttering war cries and brandishing swords and shields. You
really are never too old to have fun.
In contrast the same week it was amusing to see the consternation and delay that the
roadworks along the backend of the high street caused for a few days. It was certainly a
logistical nightmare for the company carrying out the works and interesting navigating a few
of the little lanes to get around the diversion, but I was flabbergasted by the behaviour of one
particular car whom I met coming the wrong way up the one-way street from the shoppers
car park! nowt as strange as folk as they say. However, true to form the work was carried
out and completed on time, and we only had 4 days of disruption, though I am sure for many
it felt much longer.
Mothers day is on the horizon, and I cannot wait for soggy toast and spilt tea, and maybe an
illegible card that I can keep and bring out at every opportunity once the prodigal comes of
age. A parents prerogative methinks! Then its the downhill slope now to Easter and the first
of the holiday weekends. Speculation has already begun in our household of whether it will
be a heatwave or we will be huddling around the fire this year. Preparation for the Sunday
celebrations are underway, for some its all about bunnies and chocolate, or celebrating
the religious events heralded at that time. For all of us its time to gather our nearest and
dearest and bring in the Spring. The prodigal is already writing to the Easter Bunny as he
has realised that the EB takes on where Santa leaves, and is watching his every move. When
he realises differently I think I may have to move out, but I am clinging on for now. I am
wishing for a dry day to make the stashing of the eggs early Sunday morning less soggy, and
maybe, just maybe the dog will not give the game away by barking hysterically because shes
so excited as I creep around. All I wonder is whether it will be a Viking yelling a war cry or
a dragon breathing fire that is running around the garden hunting them out, and whether its
the children or the adults that are the loudest!

Back in 1987 a low-budget film captured the hearts of cinemagoers the
world over as two relatively unknown performers Patrick Swayze and
Jennifer Grey danced their way to movie immortality, and $214m at the
box office. Since then, generation after generation has continued to take
the legendary production Dirty Dancing to their hearts.
To satisfy the overwhelming demand, says Michael, we went on the
road during the spring of 2015 with a theatre show that offered an all-new
take on the classic story. Having enjoyed many sold-out performances as
we criss-crossed the country we are now proud to announce an even more
extensive tour with a larger cast commencing March 2016.
A Night of Dirty Dancing the ultimate tribute show fast forwards
theatregoers to Kellermans end of season show, retelling the tale from
an alternative perspective, and still featuring the hits from everyones
favourite dance movie.
Dirty Dancings score included: Shes Like the Wind, Big Girls Dont
Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Be My Baby, Hungry Eyes
and the Oscar-winning (Ive Had) The Time of My Life.
Fans are invited to take a trip back to the summer of 63, to relive Patrick
Swayze and Jennifer Greys sizzling performance in the ultimate coming
of age romance.
Its all down to Kellermans end-of-season show, says Michael. Revel
in the moments you loved, the memories you made and the music thats
resonated throughout the years.
Prepare for a night of dirty dancing with the brand-new sensational,
inspirational, aspirational box office smash of the year, says Michael.
Our sensational production brings all the hits to life, lavishly, live on
stage.
The show is not affiliated with Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story On Stage
currently on tour in the UK and worldwide. Its an all-new production
featuring an all-star cast, the next exciting chapter in the amazing
musical legacy that is Dirty Dancing, says Michael.
