Thank you Alan Eatough for your letter. (below) There is so much to consider as a way forward in how we see our elected MP and how they operate in Westminster. I agree with Alan on the subject of borrowing revenue generated from our taxes which should be enough to run this country. Likewise the economics of having so many paid MP and members of the House of Lords is questionable, how many there should be is a very large question to answer. As for letting the education of our children and students be run purely by the existing systems, I really do not know what the overall answer should be. Despite this letter below having first appeared in the Nth Norfolk News, there is much to consider in its content generally. Issue 024. Yes, some 48 weeks later we produce the issue with my lucky member, which just happens to be my date of birth 24/08/1952. Has it ever proved to by my lucky number? Well, I did once win a dozen bottles of beer in a raffle by selecting this number. Do you have a lucky number, and have you ever won anything by selecting that number? If I do win anything by printing this Issue number I will let you know, of course.

From The Editor

It is always good to see a new business opening up in Cromer, particularly the new gift shop in what used to be the video and camera shop in the High Street. I do wish them all the very best. Due to having serious problems with our BT email address, can I ask people to please send any & all information via our home email address below which is:

thank you.

Dear Philip,
My old mum used to advise me to try and avoid buying things on credit. She said it was an expensive way of doing things and she much preferred paying cash on the nail whenever she could. I have tried to follow this piece of advice throughout my life and if I really wanted something, then it was worth waiting for and I saved up the money before getting it. I have seen this idea of good housekeeping suggested to the various governments of the day and it has been met with some derision. Something along the lines of that might work for a household but funding government is far more complex and people wouldnt understand even if we explained it to them. Successive governments, for as long as I can remember, have operated on this buy now and pay later basis (to win votes?) and each one has left office leaving us with a bigger national debt. Despite all the cuts, I think this government is on course to do the same thing. The savings made so far have only slightly reduced the amount we borrow and have not touched the outstanding debt which continues to increase. I do wonder who we are borrowing all this money from. If the interest rates on these loans go up by any significant amount, then we are all going to be in real trouble. (Ask the Greeks) It seems that as a country, we have been living beyond our means for decades.

Our economic strategy, like those in other western nations, is based on growth, with the rate of growth being used as a measure of success. Growth however needs an everincreasing population and there are limits to the numbers of people that Britain and indeed the planet can reasonably sustain, so at some point, economies have to stop growing and find a radically different way of doing things. Meanwhile emerging economies such as those in China & India are now growing at a very fast rate and to fuel that growth, they have joined the global search for things like oil, gas, timber, minerals & fresh water, driving up the prices of these resources which we can expect to pay a lot more for in the future. I think that within a generation, great changes are going to happen. Traditional western economies will decline and lose influence and those in the Far East will gain in economic power. We have a lot to be proud of in our history but we must adapt to the world as it is today. We are no longer a world power and have no right to unilaterally interfere in the affairs of other countries, because this encourages terrorism rather than preventing it. Our armed services should be designed for purely defensive purposes and any international policing actions should be done through the United Nations or the E.U.

Letter Continued From Page 3

We can no longer afford an independent nuclear deterrent (if it was ever truly independent of the U.S.). Trident should be scrapped and some of the money saved spent on properly equipping and supporting our conventional armed services. Parliament should set an example by streamlining itself; reduce the number of MPs by at least a third, make the Lords a purely elected body, abolish the in-house, subsidised Parliamentary restaurants & bars (we dont elect MPs to wine & dine each other at our expense) and have an honours system that rewards people for selfless acts and not for how much they contribute to party funds. Hugely expensive, prestige projects of questionable value such as the proposed High Speed rail link, should be abandoned in favour of improving existing provision. The government could also save a lot of money by stopping interfering with education and the health service and letting them get on with the job. Unless we take measures such as these and indeed more such measures, the future is going to be a pretty uncomfortable place for the residents of Britain. Alan Eatough Overstrand

The town has so much potential but it desperately needs a vision and plan of action together with the energy and determination to make it happen. Labour will support the town's representatives if they can deliver on that ambition. In the meantime the Labour Party will continue to stand up for families and all the young and older people hit by austerity. North Walsham needs jobs, affordable housing, transport and childcare, and investment in public services and local infrastructure. Labour will be on the side of ordinary people as they struggle with the cost of living this winter. Stephen Burke Labour candidate, N. Walsham East county council by-election Happisburgh

Election of a County Councillor for

North Walsham East
A poll for the election of a County Councillor for North Walsham East was held on Thursday 24th October. Eric Seward for the Liberal Democrats was the sucessful candidate with a turnout of 29.48% from an electorate of 8692. The Election Results were:

Eric Seward: Liberal Democrat - 1044 votes Lynette Comber : UKIP - 565 votes Stephen Burke : Labour - 442 votes Rhodri Oliver : Conservative - 359 votes Paul Oakes : Green Party - 80 votes Graham Jones : Independent - 61 votes

Dear Mr Keddell,
Please permit me to defend myself against the accusation, in your previous edition, of cyber bullying; I feel this rather extreme and playing the PC card to its outer limits. Let me put the record straight AND my statements which caused the upset, back into context, which they appear to have come adrift from. My letter reads I find it hard to a) come to terms with the signatory how can this phrase be considered as ridicule? This is by no means making light of serious situations but I find so many things hard to come to terms with - the civil war and genocide in Syria; the treatment of street dogs in Romania; the price of gas and electricity; etc, etc, etc ... I mean...? The thing that did tickle me, however, was - and I quote: some business sponsoring a hole. The following immediately came to mind and I had a little larff to myself. Forgive: Dont dig it there, dig it elsewhere. Youre digging it round and it ought to be square. The shape of its wrong, its much too long And you cant put a hole where a hole dont belong. A...hem...(my regaining composure, yet again) Correspondent Chris Posthumus then attempted to qualify his claim of my being a coward by expressing his doubts that I would (dare) ridicule (his) name in person but only from the comfort of (my own) home. Oh, come now, Chris, how wrong can you be? Anyone who knows me will testify that what you see is what you get - Id already explained in my original letter that I have an obtuse sense of humour and that is what I (and my associates, poor sods) are stuck with, it gets me through the day yet no one is intentionally intended to be a butt of it, trust me. Sooo, let me say it to your face - over a pint? You would then see for yourself that any seemingly outlandish statements I make are invariably accompanied with a wry smile, a nod and a wink, and even a friendly push to the shoulder. Try me ... Visual body language is a necessity (smiley face). Yours Micky P of Trimingham-on-Sea.

Dear Editor,
Mundesley W.I. had a very successful Gardeners Question Time.

Dear Editor,
Can I thank everyone who supported Labour in the North Walsham East county council by-election on 24th October? Congratulations to Eric Seward on winning. He now faces a huge challenge, as a county councillor, district councillor and town councillor, to breathe new life into North Walsham. More of the same won't do.

We had many people attend and had a lively evening with lots of interesting questions and informative answers from our panel of local experts. Pictured Above by Paul Damen. In the interval our visitors enjoyed Coffee, Tea and Cakes which our Members had contributed. With the Raffle and Entrance Fee we raised over 400, for our charities. Many thanks to all who made the evening an enjoyable success. June Denehy Acting Secretary.

Dear Crab Tales Readers,

Dont Be Alone At Christmas.
If you, or someone you know are likely to be on your own on Christmas Day, dont forget that the volunteers of All-Saints Church, and friends are for the 3rd year running cooking a three course traditional Christmas Lunch. This is to be held in All-Saints Church Rooms, Cromer Road, Mundesley. There is no charge, (we may hand a basket round for donations) and we can arrange transport if required. So contact Mike on: 01263 720 852 or e-mail: mikemardon@btinternet.com leaving your name, how many seats you require, and if you require transport. And of course a contact number. I have to say this Christmas Lunch would not be possible without, our local shops and businesses, All-Saints PCC, and the Mundesley Parish Council. Regards Mike Mardon

I have to take my hat off to everyone at Woodlands, as they are always ready to get involved in everything that is going on locally.

Happy Birthday
Mundesley Library.
50 Years later Mundesleys Public Library is very much alive & well, thanks to a great team of workers and volunteers who help them all out. On Tuesday October 22nd, I along with a healthy number of other residents, turned out to witness the cutting and tasting of a delicious cake to celebrate 50 years of the Mundesley Library.

At 3pm. the cake was cut by the one and only Councllor Wyndham Northham (pictured) who gave a short address to the gathering of the good folk in attendence. By all accounts the Mundesley Library has been situated in four other places in the village over the years. An account of the librarys history has been re-written by Paul Damen, who I am most grateful to for supplying these photographs that he took on the day. The whole library service in Norfolk is up for revew in December this year, including naturally this particularly brilliant local library that does so well in Mundesley. I have to say that the team that run it provide a brilliant service and are well worth keeping to run this great service for us all. Watch this space. PK One young lady, Maxine Reid (Above) has raised over 550 for Cancer Research by losing a stone and a half and by giving up smoking as well. I have to hand it to the team at Woodlands for their dedication to Cancer Research and by getting so many turning out to support an event such as this. See their advertisement on the back page to find out what events are taking place. PK

Barnsdale The TV Years

In 1967 Geoff Hamilton rented a cottage and land from the owners of Barnsdale Hall. He had the front laid out to flowers and at the rear of the property he planted fruit & veg. He had started with occasional appearances on the TV programme Gardeners World which he gradually built up and by 1982 he was the main presenter. Barnsdale Hall was now up for sale so Geoff had to move a mile up the road to a farmhouse with Five and a half acres of land. Barnsdale has been organic for 25years and Geoff was keen to show the amateur gardener that everything didnt have to be expensive and showed viewers how to make something instead of buying it. He wanted his viewers to enjoy their gardening as much as he did.

He wrote and presented several series, his last being The Paradise Garden, he again created 2 different gardens, one with shop bought garden fences & furniture and the other using only Geoffs own handwork. He was the longest serving presenter of Gardeners World. This talk and slideshow, given by his son Nick (pictured Right) was held in the Lighthose Community Church on the Cromer Road in Sheingham to a very full house. Our thanks to the Rector and to Nick for a great evening. Barnsdale Gardens is open to the public and attracts 40,000 visitors every year. Cindy Johnson

Above: Lucas performing at the Mundesley Library

Rhythm & blues, soul and, eventually rock & roll, was on its way into all of our lives. How it involuntarily channeled my own ... well, thats another complete story ... We now move forward to the International tensions of the Cold War period of the 50s & 60s when more USA personnel flooded into Norfolk and the Anglian region and this time they brought their soul music along with them. We heard how The Jolly Butchers and The Orford Cellar - both in Norwich - and Black Anna, the landlady of the former, became synonymous with American blues (and Americans!) during this time. Friend Lis, who accompanied me to the talk, whispered across to me that she attended the Jolly Butchers with her Father while she was still in school uniform... Meanwhile, over in the States in the latter half of the 60s, Detroit became the centre for another variant on black music - perhaps a more up-to-date type of slavery this time - of those working in the motor manufacturing industry; Detroit gained the pseudonym motor town foreshortened to Motown, of course. Enter the Four Tops, the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson..So it goes on... The site of the Orford Cellar bears a Blue Plaque bearing this wording In the 1960s the Orford Cellar hosted performances from rock legends Jimi Hendrix, Ginger Baker, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Geno Washington, courtesy of the local impresario Howard Platt. The place to try out a new line-up before touring, the Orford also featured long lived and popular local acts including Lucas and The Emperors and the Continentals. Incidentally, the West Runton Pavilion became another Norfolk iconic venue where nationally and internationally known rock acts would try out prior to embarking on their major tours. Similarly, the Cromer Pavilion. Time to introduce the soul singer Lucas to the proceedings, a wonderful warm black guy who punctuated the talk with six vintage songs from his repertoire - Mother-in-Law; Cant Help Myself; Harlem Shuffle; Respect; Unchain My Heart and, appropriately titled, Living in America. Lucas, who now performs live throughout the UK, came over to the UK and was a VIP driver for US Airforce generals and colonels in Lakenheath & Mildenhall and eventually married and settled down in Norfolk. His performing pedigree is something to behold, having toured with James Brown; Stevie Wonder; Four Tops; Edwin Starr; Ben E King; Supremes; Detroit Emeralds; Chi-lites; Geno Washington; Jimmy James and the Vagabonds; The Real Thing... I feel sure that everyone present - a select audience indeed - considered it two-anda-half hours extremely well spent. When asked to complete a brief comments form by the Librarian, I truthfully concluded by stating ...I didnt want the talk to come to an end Mikkki Rokk, Seaside-on-Sea.

How Norfolk Got The Groove...

..and no one even uttered a shush Not an everyday scenario in a local library - a black soul singer belting out Harlem Shuffle while the public AND librarians clap along in time to the backing - but that was the case in Mundesley last Thursday afternoon. What a treat. As part of the Norfolk Black History Month, musician John Davison gave a fascinating yet relaxingly informal talk on how Norfolk became the interface, as it were, and pioneered Blues and Soul music into Great Britain. John started his narrative by posing the question: How do you think it is that Norfolk, particularly Norwich, has proportionally far more musicians than the rest of the Country? We were about to get the answer... During the war - once our American allies joined the conflict, 135,000 US servicemen were brought over and based in the UK, 50,000 of them within a 30 mile radius of the City of Norwich and with them came their music. Back in the States - prior to the coming of the railroads - music had been a much more soulful lament often sung by, or about, the black slaves and the cotton fields and the hardships and the mistreatment they had to endure yet, once these railroads found their way into the various states, the compelling sound of the train wheels pounding on the joints in the track brought about a total change in rhythmic style and the boogie-woogie came about. The heavy repetitive left hand on the piano whilst, at the top end of the keyboard, the occasional right hand rocking thumb and pinky would mimic the mournful loco whistle.

On Thursday 30th October & Friday 1st November we have a Bistro menu. The theme may well be French, but much of the produce is very much local! Well, except for the snails!

Baby Sensory
Ever hear of this before?
Unless you have a child aged between 0 and 13 months the answer is probably No, you have never heard of this before. Nor I. So what is it all about, you may ask. Lisa Stickells is the second daughter of the local butcher Icarus Hines, who happens to run successful butchers shops in both Sheringham & Cromer. Having moved up to Norfolk recently with her husband and 10 month old son Stanley, from Bromley in London, Lisa was looking for her local Baby Sensory classes with little to no success so she decided that she would set them up herself. Lisa said: Stanley absolutely loved the Baby Sensory classes (as did I). The magical atmosphere, singing, signing and varied play totally mesmerised him and I could quickly see how much it was helping with his development. My husband was then sadly made redundant, so we took the opportunity to move back to Norfolk where I grew up. When I decided that I needed to do something about this! I completed my training last month and will be running free taster sessions in December and starting the first Baby Sensory programme in January 2014. Baby Sensory and its benefits: The programme, designed specifically for babies from birth to 13 months and offers a complete approach to learning and development with rich and varied sensory activities enabling babies to develop in every possible way!

What happens in a class? Classes always start with our Say Hello sign song during which parents can use simple sign language to communicate with their baby. Parents enjoy learning new signs and babies just love expressive movement! This is followed by sensory activities which parents can enjoy with their baby and also gives parents a wealth of ideas to try at home! The class also has an exploratory play area (which changes each week) where babies and parents can take a break and explore a range of equipment specifically selected to stimulate their senses and aid development. Each week is different. With forty themed lesson plans, babies can discover a magical underwater world, explore a tropical jungle, journey in to Space and have fun at our Baby Athletics! All the activities are excellent for developing physical, social, emotional and language skills while encourage co-ordination, awareness, a love of music and the concentration so needed for further development. What do babies get out of it? Other than sheer delight and excitement, the classes have been designed to help babies develop in the following areas:

Language many parents experience intense frustration in understanding their babys signals. Sign Language is one way of taking the guesswork out of parenting. Physical movement although babies should always sleep on their backs, tummy time is an essential aspect of development from birth and babies need to be on their tummies in order to go through the fundamental movement patterns that stimulate both sides of the brain. Socialising - happy social play sets the tone for the acquisition of future skills such as cooperation, turn taking and sharing. Emotions massage is one sensory delight that really strengthens the bond because it provides an opportunity for parents to express their love Time and dates of Lisas classes: Free Taster Sessions: CROMER Tuesday 10th December ~ 10-11am Northrepps Village Hall School Lane NR27 0LB NORTH WALSHAM Friday 6th December, 10-11am The Atrium, Spenser Avenue, NR28 9HZ Booking is essential as spaces are limited.

Volunteers Wanted
The NNDC is seeking volunteers for a new community dog warden scheme North Norfolk District Council has launched a community dog warden scheme to crack down on dog fouling across the district and is appealing for volunteers to sign up. Dog fouling is a huge concern for residents, not just because of the mess, but because it poses health risks that can cause stomach upset, sore throat, asthma and in extreme cases it can cause blindness. NNDC figures show that historically, the number of complaints it receives about dog fouling increases as the evenings start to draw in. With plans to re-launch its No Messing anti dog-fouling campaign, NNDC hopes that both the campaign and the introduction of community dog wardens will assure the residents that reducing the presence of dog fouling in public places is a priority. The role of a community dog warden is to educate irresponsible dog owners that dog fouling is not acceptable, and together with support from the NNDCs Environmental Protection team, to promote the virtues of responsible dog ownership. John Lee, NNDCs Cabinet Member for Environment said: When the clocks go back and the nights start to draw in, this is when we start to see a steady increase in complaints of dog fouling. Dog owners need to understand that they are posing a risk to the safety of others if they do not clear up after their dogs, and using the cover of darkness is just not acceptable. As a community dog warden, you will be a valuable part of your community and will be given the full support of the NNDCs Environmental Protection officers to help educate people on how we can make our local environment and community a cleaner place. Volunteers wishing to become a community dog warden will need to be friendly, open and willing to help make a difference. It is a non-confrontational role, and wardens will not have the power to issue fixed penalty notices. Volunteers can offer to work whenever they are free to give up their time, although patrols are not expected to last more than three hours at a time. Each warden can expect to receive full training and will be provided with a high visibility jacket and a pocket notebook. Mr Lee added: Although community dog wardens will not be able to issue fixed penalty notices, they will be providing regular information to NNDCs enforcement officers. Irresponsible dog owners should be clear that we will not tolerate dog fouling in North Norfolk and well have no hesitation in fining offenders. If you are interested in volunteering you can sign up at this site as soon as possible: or contact the NNDC Environmental Protection team for more information on:

And Another 500 Given To The Cromer Skate Park By Budgens

Pictured Above L-R: Jean Spruce, Lehan Lightfoot, Ernie De Neve, Nigel Brown, Adam Spruce, Ben Hele, Ruth De Neve and Karl Hunt from Budgens

All thanks must go to all those good people who have donated and/or purchased second hand books from the stand in the Budgens store in Cromer, who have just handed over another 500 cheque towards the Cromer Skateboard Park appeal.

By all accounts the appeal for funds is going extremely well and there are plans are now being considered to hold a Ball in aid of the fund raising for the Skateboard park which is planned to be situated in North Lodge Park.

Have You Seen Cindys Garden?

Many of our readers may know Cindy as the lovely lady who delivers The Crab Tales around Cromer, every two weeks. Cindys garden is now planted up with numerous pens and pencils all on display in her small and tidy garden, which you can see on your left as you walk towards Morrisons Garage on the sea front, just past the bus station. What do you think of Cindys lovely garden display now?
PK

So far Budgens have helped to raise over 2,000 for this very worthy cause. The town of Cromer has needed such a park for far too many years and it is now a case of watching this space for full details on what is being planned to raise even more money for this park, by holding a Ball in the town somewhere very soon. I have to add, that despite the recent spray paint damage to Mundesley Skateboard park, the whole idea has been actively supported by everyone in the village. PK

A Couple Of.....
.........Essex hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his mobile and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says:
"Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?" Thanks to Wendy Smith for this.

Common Infections
Common Infections In The Community And How To Deal With Them.
As we are coming up to the winter again I thought it would be useful to explain some of the common infections that will be around. I will explain each one and what sort of symptoms you may experience. At the end I will show how many of these infections can be dealt with by simple tender loving care and without the need for antibiotics.

Respiratory Tract Infections

Otitis Media: This is an infection of the inside of the ear. You may experience ear pain, some fluid leaking from the ear and on occasions hearing loss. This infection tends to clear up within 4 days. Sinusitis: This is an infection of the air spaces behind your nose and around your eyes. You may experience pains in the face, some fluid leaking from your nose and the feeling of something going down the back of your nose to your throat. This infection can take up to four weeks to settle down. Tonsillitis: This is an infection of the tonsils in your throat. You may experience a sore throat with this infection. This tends to clear up within 7 to 10 days. Pharyngitis: This is an infection of the digestive part of your throat. You may experience a sore throat particularly on swallowing with this infection. Again this infection will usually clear up in 7 to 10 days. Laryngitis: This is an infection of the breathing part of your throat. You may experience a sore throat with this infection with a loss of your voice. This infection will tend to clear up in 7 to 10 days. Chest infections: This is an infection of your chest below your throat. There are a number of different types of chest infections. You may experience a cough, production of phlegm or some chest pain when breathing etc. These infections are slightly more difficult to deal with but should settle within a 4 week period. It is a real pain when these infections come upon us. What makes things worse is that each year there are new bugs that turn up to add to the problem. Nine times out of ten the above infections are caused by viruses.

Viruses are troublesome bugs because as doctors there is absolutely nothing we can do about them and your body has to fight them itself. On the odd occasion the above infections are caused by bacteria. These bugs do respond to antibiotics! What makes a bacterial infection more likely is a persistent temperature above 38 degrees when you are taking things like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen and also if they havent cleared up in the times stated above. The best thing for all the above infections initially is plenty of fluids and medications like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. I would like to dispel the myth out there that antibiotics work for every infection because that is simply not the truth. As doctors we have given too many out and we and you in the community need to protect the usefulness of antibiotics as we go into the future.

Big Switch & Save Scheme Extended

North Norfolk households given more time to save money on gas and electricity bills People living in North Norfolk have been given extra time to sign up for an energy scheme that could help cut their gas and electricity bills. North Norfolks Big Switch & Save scheme has been extended until the 18th November, meaning another 10 days to join. The first round of the scheme was launched in North Norfolk in March this year, with 2796 households in the area registering. 70% of households providing realistic energy usage figures were able to save, 46% were able to save more than 50 a year and 23% up to 50 a year. Those households able to save through the scheme achieved an overall average annual saving of 126, with the highest average annual saving of 266 for dual fuel customers opting for online billing. It is hoped that a new Collective Switching Tariff will be available in time for the energy auction and that this will result in a better offer for customers switching supplier in this way. Anyone who missed out on the first round or who thinks they could make even more savings on their gas or electricity bills, is now able to register for a second round of the Big Switch and Save scheme. NNDC Cabinet Member for Environmental Services, John Lee, said: We all know that gas & electricity costs are soaring and energy switching is one way individual households can reduce those costs. NNDC is delighted to be able to offer a second opportunity for people in North Norfolk to register for the Big Switch & Save. Our experience in the first round of the scheme shows that it really can help people cut their energy costs in these difficult times. Residents can register online at this site: www.bigswitchandsave.co.uk All you need is a bill or a statement from your energy supplier which includes the energy you used last year or your estimated usage for the year ahead. Registering is quick and easy. Up to 5 households can be registered from a single email address so you can help family, friends and neighbours to register if they do not have their own internet access. A helpline is available on: 0800 0488 285.

Make A Will Week

Support The Norfolk Hospice by writing your Will in the week of 25th 30th November. Make a Will Week 2013 is an opportunity to write your Will in the knowledge that you will be supporting the Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House. The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House delivers specialist palliative care services to patients, and their families, with long term medical conditions, as well as those patients nearing the end of their lives. The Norfolk Hospice helps each patient to live life to the full, every day, no matter how many days a person may have left. Services are available through Day Therapy at the Hospice or through the use of the Hospice at Home service, or through a limited number of in-patient beds. A number of Norfolk solicitors practices are working with the Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House to help the charity raise its awareness and generate additional income. People wishing to write a Will and support the Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House can visit: www.norfolkhospice.org.uk to view contact details of the solicitors practices supporting this initiative, or call the Fundraising Office on: 01485 542 891. When making an appointment with a solicitor during Make a Will Week, please remember to mention the agreement to make a donation to the Norfolk Hospice. Statistics state that 80 -100 in-patient beds are needed per one million of the population. With around 300,000 people living in North and West Norfolk, this equates to a need for 30 beds. A big step forward in reaching this target will be achieved when the Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House completes the construction of its new purpose designed & built facility at Hillington, near Kings Lynn in Spring 2014.

Since 1984, the Hospice has been providing palliative care to people with cancer, neurological and other life-limiting conditions, to enable them to live life to the full for whatever time is left. We care for over 300 people a month at the hospice and at home. Our care is provided without charge throughout Norfolk & the Fens and it costs 1.8 million a year to run the Hospice. We are also able to support patients and carers in parts of the East Cambridgeshire region. We depend on the generosity of the community to survive: 88% of running costs are paid for by the individuals, organisations and groups who give generously to support our vital care. In life, nothing is certain but, with your help, we can ensure that Norfolk and the Fens has the finest hospice care possible, now and in the future.

Crazee Kidz Club

Crazee Kidz Club is a youth club based at Roughton Village Hall and meet every 2nd & 4th Friday in the month during term time and are open to anyone aged 6-16 years. We started in September 2009 and since then we have grown in what we offer and do for the young people of Roughton and the surrounds villages and towns. At the youth club we offer various activities ranging from silly challenges like how many smarties can you move from one bowl to another with just a straw to crafts. We also offer physical activities like dodge ball and stuck in the mud and many other and we have a games consoles. Some sessions we do team building games and team challenges and each session ends with a leaders challenge, when the leaders make themselves look a bit silly by doing a silly challenge like eating cold custard or Weetabix and tomato sauce. We also do special events like pancake races & an event, recently started, is a young meets old where some of our members prepare and serve a meal for our older generation. We also provide discos & a bouncy castle for our sessions and to hire out in an effort to help raise funds for the running costs. Another way in which we raise funds for is through our recycling schemes. At present we run two schemes, a paper bin located at Roughton Village Hall and the other is by collecting used ink cartridges. We have started a mother and toddler group in Roughton Village Hall called Little Stars which meets every Wednesday during term time and on the 3rd Wednesday each month they have a lunch club. We are currently looking to extend what we do and have more sessions as well as starting a new group for over 11s and have a long term plan of purchasing our building to turn it into a youth and community Centre. For all our future plans we are seeking more help as well as finances to hope us achieve our goal. If you would like to know more about what we do as a group or would like to help either in person or in any other way please feel free to get in touch with us. Contact us by phoning Paddy Bennett our club coordinator on: 768 138 or via e-mail at: enquiries@crazeekidzclub.co.uk or visit: www.crazeekidzclub.co.uk

Free Parking

The Council has decided to waive parking fees on Remembrance Sunday following requests from local communities and for the afternoon & the evening on the two Saturdays before Christmas to help persuade local people to buy their Christmas gifts & supplies locally, to support North Norfolks traders at this crucial time of year, and as a gesture of goodwill for the festive season. On Remembrance Sunday parking will be free from 8am to 6pm. On Saturday 14th & 21st December, from 2pm shoppers will be able to stay all afternoon and evening without a ticket in any District Councilrun car park, saving them up to 1- 20 an hour.

Car Park Repairs With A Very......

Repairs and improvements are taking place at NNDC car parks in Fakenham, Holt, Mundesley and North Walsham. Local car parks involved are: Albert St. car park in Holt (already completed) Nth Walsham Council Offices car park (work started 28th Oct. expected to last 7 - 10 days) Beach Road car park, Mundesley (work starts 18th November is expected to last two weeks). Weather permitting, the works are expected to be completed within the programme times. The one remaining pay & display car park now involved (Beach Road in Mundesley) will remain open throughout the works, although there will be some reduction in the number of spaces available, which may result is some inconvenience to car park users. North Walsham Council Offices car park will be closed throughout the work, although pedestrian access to the CAB building will remain open during the opening hours. In all cases completion is due by the end of November so as not to interfere with Christmas shoppers. Consideration has been given to all car park stakeholders & advance partial closure signs are currently displayed in the affected car parks. Localised leaflet drops have also been undertaken where appropriate.
Dollars all crumpled up?

........seductive voice the woman asked her husband: Have you ever seen Twenty

No, said her husband She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttoned the top 3 or 4 buttons of her blouse, and slowly reached down into the cleavage created by a soft, silky push-up bra, and pulled out a crumpled Twenty Dollar bill. He took the crumpled Twenty Dollar bill from her and smiled approvingly. She then asked him: Have you ever seen
Fifty Dollars all crumpled up?

Uh... no, I havent, he said, with an anxious tone in his voice. She gave him another sexy little smile, pulled up her skirt, and seductively reached into her tight, sheer panties... and pulled out a crumpled Fifty Dollar bill. He took the crumpled Fifty Dollar bill, and started breathing a little quicker with anticipation.
Now, she said, have you ever seen $50,000 Dollars all crumpled up?

No way! he said, while obviously becoming even more aroused and excited, to which she replied:
Go look in the garage, .
