ELLIE AND JACK’S CHARITY
FOOTBALL MATCH
On Sunday 21st August a charity fundraising event will be held at Holt Playing Fields on Kelling Road. The event, called Ellie and Jack’s
Charity Match, will be a veterans football match to raise funds for four worthwhile causes, the Teenage Cancer Trust, the Sick Childrens Trust,
the Jenny Lind Department at Norwich Hospital and the Brain Tumour Charity. These four charities have been chosen by Ellie Shaul and Jack
Long, two local teenagers, who, over the past couple of years, have been helped by these charities after being diagnosed with serious illnesses.
Ellie’s Story
In November 2014 when I was 15, I was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma (brain tumour). I was admitted into Addenbrookes Hospital where
I had an operation, which thankfully removed the whole tumour. However, I have been left with a few complications because of the position of
where the tumour was situated. I have diabetes insipidus, adrenal insufficiency, an underactive thyroid, Type 2 diabetes and I am also registered
as partially sighted.
I would like to raise funds for the Sick Childrens Trust because they provided the place my parents stayed, free of charge, whilst I was in
hospital. I have also chosen to support the Brain Tumour charity, as I would like to help others, who have been or are going through a similar
situation as me.
Jack’s Story
In December last year, following a blood test, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and was taken straight into Addenbrookes.
The reason I chose the Teenage Cancer Trust is because when I was in Addenbrookes, I stayed on the teenage cancer ward and they did
everything they could to make it as easy as possible for my family and me.
I have also chosen the Jenny Lind at Norwich, because I’m currently having lots of my treatment undertaken there and they try to make things as
fun as possible.
Ellie & Jack’s Charity Match is from 3.00pm onwards at Holt Playing Fields on Sunday 21st August.
Kick off for the veterans football match is at 4.00pm and there will be a BBQ and raffle with super prizes. Everyone is welcome!
The photograph above shows Ellie (centre) with some of the veterans who took part in her fundraising match held last year in January at Briston
Recreation Ground between a Briston team and a Holt United team, with Briston coming out on top as 6-3 winners.

PRESTIGIOUS GREEN FLAG AWARD
FOR THREE NORTH NORFOLK
DISTRICT COUNCIL GREEN SPACES
Holt Country Park, Sadler’s Wood, near North Walsham, and
Pretty Corner Woods, near Sheringham, have again been named
amongst the best open spaces in the UK, winning the right to fly the
prestigious Green Flag for 2016/17. It is the twelfth year in a row
that Holt Country Park, which, like the other two winners, is run by
North Norfolk District Council, has earned a Green Flag for being
welcoming, safe, clean and well-managed.
Becky Palmer, NNDC Cabinet Member for Leisure and Cultural
Services, said: “This is an incredible result. For Holt Country Park,
Sadler’s Wood and Pretty Corner Woods to keep winning is testament
to the hard work of our countryside rangers and the wealth of beautiful
places that surround us in North Norfolk. Our award-winning green
spaces are a wonderful place for adults and children to experience the
natural world. There are also events at all our Green Flag sites, so do
take the opportunity to visit and take in these beautiful places.”
In 2005, Holt Country Park was the first in Norfolk to win a Green
Flag - an award that demands year-on-year improvement for the status
to be retained. Holt Country Park was joined by Sadler’s Wood, just
outside North Walsham, when it achieved a Green Flag in 2012, and
then by Pretty Corner Woods the following year. Pretty Corner was
awarded a Green Flag on its very first application, which is very rare
and a clear acknowledgement of the excellent work that is being
carried out by NNDC staff and dedicated local volunteers.
The three sites are among a record-breaking 1686 parks and green
spaces that have been awarded with a prestigious Green Flag Award
for 2016/2017. The award, organised by Keep Britain Tidy, recognises
and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the country.
A Green Flag flying
overhead is a sign to
visitors that the space
boasts the highest
possible standards, is
beautifully maintained
and has excellent
facilities.

AID AFRICA CONTINUES TO CHANGE LIVES IN RURAL MALAWI!
from Lynda Mills
A nursery school in the remote areas needed a room to work from. Elders and officials
approached Aid Africa in the hope we may be able to help....
Msikita is a large, remote, vulnerable village of 1850 households, about 7000 people,
inaccessible by vehicle during the rainy season, so could only be reached by bike or
foot. Back in 2009, a Nursery School, Zayambika (‘it has started’) was founded with no
resources but 6 voluntary teachers. Eager for educational opportunities for their young
ones, the school started under a tree and later, the villagers came together and built a
simple school room. Sadly, poor materials and lack of foundation, caused the building to
collapse and there were no resources to maintain or rebuild it. 83 children are currently
registered, 51 boys and 32 girls, and they needed a building.
On assessment, we developed the concept from a simple room to a Community Centre,
which would incorporate the Zayambika Nursery School, and so much more besides. From the beginning this project was challenging, mostly
because of the remote location of the village. Following the rains, we couldn’t get there but the villagers worked hard building a ‘road’, a dirt
track filled with stones, clods of earth and branches, which would allow our 4x4 to get most of the way. So in April we visited for the first time
and were overwhelmed by the warm welcome received from the whole village. Their eagerness to facilitate their children’s education, backed by
years of voluntary teaching by dedicated villagers, really impressed us. The children sang, the women danced, the men shared their conviction
that education was the route out of poverty for their little ones. We decided to go ahead with the build despite the difficulties.
A hint about the amazing novelty and importance of this development came as we left the village, most of the children ran ahead of us excitedly
shouting ‘galimoto!’ to each other. Galimoto is ‘car’ in Chichewa, some had never seen one!
The foundations were dug as the ruins of the old building were torn down. We’d located and bought bricks locally and the villagers carried each
of the 30,000 by foot, wheelbarrow or pushbike. They also brought river sand to site in the same way. Our part was to provide everything else,
cement, iron roofing sheets and timbers, doors, windows and a building team. We could only transport materials to site by our motortrike, as
no commercial trucks would venture out so far on such poor roads. The building took shape and by the end of June, it was finished, plastered,
painted, windows glazed and ready for the opening celebrations.
On Friday, 8th July, hundreds gathered to witness the official opening of Msikita Community Centre and its handing over to the local community.
There were solemn, appreciative speeches, then the time came for the cutting of the ribbon by the guest of honour, Chiringa’s Police Chief and
the opening of the door to welcome the community. People poured in, thrilled at this wonderful asset that has been built in their community.
They see it as empowerment to improve education, and encouragement to continue development of their area.
They anticipate, in future, not only will the Nursery School meet there but much-needed adult literacy classes, civic meetings and health support
will be established in the Centre. Alongside, trees will also be grown to help battle the deforestation so apparent in the area, and we’re providing
seeds and urging the growth of moringa to improve nutrition and general health for all.
Many thanks for all your help and support and an especially huge ‘thank you’ to all who have donated new and nearly-new items for our
‘underwear appeal’ for women and girls, these will change lives in rural Malawi.

SHERINGHAM CHURCH PROMOTES UGANDA EDUCATION PROJECT
Lighthouse Community Church in Sheringham is backing a project to support and develop a school at Lumperie in Uganda, and a new website
has just been launched to promote the scheme.
The project was established following a series of visits made by mission teams from Lighthouse to the primary school in Lumperie. During these
visits, the team built guttering, a rainwater storage tank, a
water filtration system, re-wired the electrical system and
completed and decorated classrooms. They also provided
bunk beds, book shelves, books, teacher training, a school
office, computer, 180 Food parcels, shoes and clothing as well
as running a holiday club, sports day, feeding programme and
health checks.
Following the last mission visit in November 2015, two
members of the team, Ian Mutton and Derek Baldry, felt
that they should make a greater commitment to the work in
Lumperie, and this was confirmed when they shared their
thoughts with Pastor Stephen Musisi the Director of African
Child Development Trust, who had a similar vision.
Ian and Derek met with Lighthouse Senior Pastor Ian
Savory and shared their vision for the work in Lumperie,
and Lighthouse leadership confirmed that this project
should become a significant part of the Lighthouse missions
programme. Ian and Derek have been set apart to lead the Project, which has been called ‘Reed People’. The name comes from Isaiah 42 v 3 : A
bruised reed he will not break, and smouldering flax He will not quench.
The pair returned to Lumperie in May 2016 to gather information and survey the site in order to produce a comprehensive plan to complete the
development of the Primary School, and plan for a Secondary School and potentially a Vocational Training College. Alongside these projects it
is hoped to develop an agricultural training centre to teach better land management, arable farming methods and animal husbandry in order to
increase crop yield and high animal welfare.
Derek says, “We are simply working with Lighthouse Charity Trust
and with Pastor Steve Musisi in Uganda to help develop the school to
fulfil the vision from God.”
Ian and Derek have further trips planned, but in the meantime they
would welcome invitations to share their vision with Community,
Praise the young and they will blossom.

We solve building issues that are a result of a lack of knowledge of how to

We work closely with our clients, encouraging them to understand their
property and the traditional Lime-based products that we use.
Lime is 100% natural, with many benefits and is the only material that
should ever be considered as a mortar or plaster during the renovation of
buildings with a solid wall construction. It’s also a good choice for modern
buildings too.
It’s a breathable medium that flexes with the natural movement of a
building, making it far less prone to cracking than modern cement mixes
(which also have a habit of trapping moisture in a wall, causing endless
damp problems).
Buildings constructed with Lime internally and externally work as one
breathable mass, they take moisture in and allow it to breath the moisture
out again through the Lime masonry joints and Lime render.
Lime has many benefical antibacterial properties too, and produces clean,
healthier air within a building

ESPECIALLY COMMISSIONED HUGE SCULPTURE INSTALLED
Specially commissioned for Holt Arts Festival a huge steel horse sculpture (named Horatio) has been installed in Appleyard, Holt. Initiated by
Helen Stoker, who owns The Barn Café-Bistro and is also married to the local vicar, this large bold steel sculpture by Henry J Stephen is already
creating much interest among local residents and visitors alike. Weighing in at just under a tonne and over 12 feet in length Horatio certainly
makes his amenable presence felt.
Henry, an exciting emerging local artist who up to this point had only made small animal heads said, “Horatio is a sculptural representation of
a Percheron war horse. They are huge muscular working horses. I feel as though these beasts have a humble majesty that speaks to the rural
language of Norfolk.
There is something
stirring about steel,
its processes and
its versatility that
translates so well to
this breed of horse.
I’ve spent 6 months
working on Horatio.
The build was done
largely on my own
in my workshop
just outside Holt.
It’s funny to see my
workshop without
him now he is in
Appleyard.”
Helen said, “I am so
excited about having
this sculpture outside
the café and standing
underneath the ancient
apple tree seems to be
just the right place for
him. You can see the
love and dedication
that Henry has put
into him.”

HOLT POST OFFICE
Dear Caroline,
I am deeply concerned at the recent news
item in the Chronicle that the Post Office in
Holt may cease to operate.
Post Office Counters Ltd have been
seeking a new site and further to a six week
consultation period (when will this start?)
with interested parties, Budgens has been
selected as a possible site for relocation.
I have to say that it is a totally unsuitable site
for the following reasons.
It will be necessary for Holt residents to pay a
parking charge in order to visit the Post Office
and I doubt if the said parking charge will
be refunded. Parking for the current location
is not always easy but rarely impossible,
whereas the walk from the High Street is
longer unless one parks at Budgens.
By locating the Post Office in Budgens it is an
underhand way to tempt possible supermarket
customers into the existing store, so as to
compete with the imminent arrival of Aldi in
Holt.
It is far from being an exciting opportunity
for the town in offering a seven day a week
Post Office service when we all know that the
Post Office does not offer a seven day service.
Finally, there is a conflict of interest since
Budgens already offer a parcel sending
service through another operator, whom will
they favour, the third party or Royal Mail?
Yours sincerely,
Tom Dick
OH GOOD!
Dear Caroline,
How good for Holt. How good for Michael
Baker, a pound to him every time for parking
when I want a stamp. How good the Post
Office will be in Budgens.
I’m fed up paying him £1 every time I pick
up, or take my partner’s grandchildren to
school for all of 10 minutes, twice a day.
Yellow lines everywhere, no parking
anywhere.
And Baker’s on the council!
Yours sincerely,
M Sims
ALDI UPDATE
Dear Caroline,
I thought that your readers might like to see
the reply that I received from Aldi regarding
their new store in Holt.
Thank you for your letter dated 4th July 2016.
I am pleased to inform you that ALDI are
interested in opening a new store in Holt and
we are in negotiations with a developer on a
particular site. We are currently waiting for
the developer to start building the ALDI store
so unfortunately I am unable to commit to an
opening date at this time, however I hope it
won’t be too long before you will see an ALDI
store in Holt.
I would like to thank you for taking the time
to write to us and for your kind comments
about ALDI, it is always good to receive
positive feedback from our customers.
Yours sincerely,

BREXIT
Dear Caroline,
I do not begrudge Chris Marsh his triumphant
Brexit moment and look forward to the
disbandment of UKIP now their objective has
been achieved.
However, I think that he might do well to
consider the victory was by a narrow margin
and a substantial minority of the population
did not share his enthusiasm, nor did they
view the EU as a Franco-German conspiracy
against the UK (the thrust of the book Chris
recommends, I hope this saves somebody a
long boring read when there are much more
interesting works on UFOs, aliens etc).
As to the future of a united UK and the
economic wonderland he predicts, time will
tell but I can only hope for the best for my
country. Meanwhile, his conclusions seem
a little premature and speculative, rather
like the ‘£350m a week for the NHS’ which
disappeared the morning after the vote. I have
yet to see any plan for the way ahead because
clearly there wasn’t one.
The nation needs to be united and to dismiss
almost half the population as ‘smug’ , ‘self
righteous’ and ‘childish’ does little to bring us
together. It is a British tradition to be modest
in victory. Starting with an apology to the
European Parliament from Nigel Farage for
his rude and arrogant behaviour, less crowing
from Brexiteers might help to bridge the deep
divisions that Brexit has created both within
the UK and abroad.
Yours sincerely,
Peter North
HAPPY READER
Dear Caroline,
In reply to the letter from Chris March in
Issue 356, I agree entirely.
I have never known politics like this, it’s
nearer to anarchism, it’s a shame what this
Britain has become.
I too am delighted to be out, out of the EU.....
but will I be out?
Yours sincerely,

A NEW RELIGION
Dear Caroline,
Having read David Ashton’s letter on this in
Issue 356, it occurs to me that his doctrinal
differences with the church might more
effectively be addressed by a meeting with
the vicar (over a cup of coffee and a scone,
perhaps?) than through your columns.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Olin
CAN YOU HELP THE
HOLT FRIDAY CLUB?
Dear Caroline,
After thirty years volunteering, our wonderful
cooks are retiring in December and we are
desparately seeking volunteer cooks to carry
on their excellent service.
We supply a two course cooked lunch every
Friday at the Holt Community Centre for
approximately thirty elderly Holt residents
and need help from 8.30am to approximately
1.30pm.
If you feel you could possibly help please
be kind enough to telephone Jill on 01263
711149 or Glenys on 01263 710197 for more
details.
Yours sincerely,

HOLT IN BLOOM
Dear Caroline,
I would like to send thanks to all those who
took part in the trial run of Holt in Bloom.
Mrs Elaine Oliver, Town Council Officer, had
expressed enthusiasm for entering Holt into
Anglia in Bloom many months beforehand
and extended an invitation to any Councillor
who wished to work on the project. I was
very happy to do this and so we started
gathering information from Bressingham, and
as time went on from many of our traders and
members of the community.
Our intention was to plan a full ‘show’ for
2017.
However, the advisers from Anglia suggested
that we have a trial this year. The shopkeepers
we spoke to were wonderfully supportive and
so we decided to do the best we could with
the time we had and the volunteers already
on board. Considering these factors, it was
brilliant to see the results.
I can’t possibly list everyone here, but new
12th August 2016
planters and baskets replaced the old and
tatty; good ones were refilled and two threetier towers were strategically placed for
splashes of summer colour.
Holt Primary pupils took great pride in
showing the judges around their garden, and
their fantastic pots of runner beans, and were
well able to answer questions about their
produce and the jobs involved. Franklin and
Apple Yards illustrated two very different
styles. The War Memorial was lifted by the
red and blue base surround. The Memorial
Garden was tidied and bird feeders were
installed.
The frontage to Holt Library was beautifully
enhanced by three bespoke wooden planters,
donated by Thaxters.
Photographs of our spectacular spring scenes
at St Andrews were viewed by the judges.
Finally, special thanks must go to Edgefield
Nurseries. Gary is an absolute stalwart
where supporting Holt is concerned and did
everything possible to help us from planning
to delivery.
Yours sincerely,
Maggie Prior
District Cllr Holt Ward
FRONT COVER
Dear Caroline,
We are writing to say how thrilled we were to
see our garden in Lees Yard on the front page
of the last edition of the The Chronicle (issue
356), it was a lovely surprise.
We are happy to join in with everyone in
Lees Yard, who has a role in making this part
of Holt an attractive place for residents and
visitors alike. It is wonderful to see just how
many people stop to take photographs and
appreciate the garden. We have received some
really lovely comments.
This year the Yard is looking especially
colourful with the additional planting of new
containers and hanging baskets.
It is wonderful to belong to a community
where residents and traders support each
other, making Holt especially pretty in bloom
at this time of year.
Yours sincerely,
the owners of Rose Cottage

ALL SAINTS, BRISTON
Briston, neighbouring Melton Constable, has grown significantly in
recent years. Its Church, situated conspicuously in the centre of the
village, retains some
interesting ancient
features.
After its tower collapsed
in 1797, All Saints was
rebuilt without a tower
and with a single entry
door at the west end.
Inside, a screen erected in
Victorian times, separates
the Choir and Altar from
the congregation. At the
back of the Church is a historical curiosity, a glazed cabinet containing
an ancient iron ‘cello made 400 years ago by the local blacksmith.
Services at All Saints are as follows:
First Sundays: 11.00am Family Services
Third Sundays: 9.00am BCP Communion Services on alternate
months (January, March, May etc.)
Fourth Sundays: 11.00am Morning Worship, alternating with
informal Communion Services

SUNDAY SERVICES IN THE PARISH
“Vanity of vanities, says the preacher, vanity of vanities. All is
vanity!” Ecclesiates Ch 1 V 2
These are familiar words which were heard read again in
church recently. The writer of the book of Ecclesiasties from
which they come clearly questions what life is for. He questions
the usefulness of striving after wisdom and knowledge and of
working hard for something that one only leaves to those who will
come after you, those who have not worked for it. To him all of
life is full of pain, all is vanity and a striving after wind, useless
and empty.
Yet in questioning the priorities of life the book in many ways
speaks to us today and questions the priorities of our own lives
and the priorities of the world in which we live. The world appears
to be at a crossroads, a turning point, and there could well be a
siesmic political shift across both sides of the Atlantic and around
the world. You only have to imagine a world with Trump as the
US President a move to the extreme right across Europe, and
further instability in Turkey and the middle East to realise the
world will look and feel very different and could become even
more dangerous.
Without wanting to sound as disilluioned as the preacher in
the book of Ecclesiastes I would suggest that our leaders and
indeed ourselves must have the courage to question the priorities
in our own lives. In an unjust world in which violence and
bloodshed, greed and power threaten our very existence what is
life really about? What are our lives for? Wherein lies our
happiness, our meaning, purpose and fulfilment? What is it that
defines us as human beings? Where do we find our true worth? Is
it in things of this world, in what we do, in the things we possess,
the status we have achieved in life? Is it in the idelogoies that some
people are prepared to fight for? Or is it ultimately in who we are,
made in the image of God, created in the image of love, to be loved
and to love?
In reality and from experience we know that the things of this
world are fleeting, temporary, short lived and as the preacher in
Ecclesiaties has identified can often result in disappointment,
leaving us feeling disillusioned and empty. Christ Jesus came into
the world to answer to the bleak emptiness represented in the
reflections of Ecclesiastes and in the New Testament St Paul
teaches us to have faith enough to believe that in baptism our lives
are hidden in Christ and that in him alone lies the meaning of our
lives. It is in the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus that we
live and move and have our being, in him we find our ultimate
identity and not in things of the world.
Surely. there is an increasing need for all humanity to
rediscover what it means to be human, what it means to be created
in the image of God and to show compassion and love.
Anything less is vanity and a striving after wind.
Every blessing,
Fr. Howard

NEWS FROM
HOLT COMMUNITY CENTRE
Chairman’s Chat: The Charities Commission is concerned
that the public do not trust individual charities to use donated
money solely for the purposes declared. Evidently, this perceived
unreliability and dishonesty is preventing individuals from making
donations to certain charities. In the light of this report, permit me a
few words to reflect on our own situation.
The Centre has been blessed with amazingly generous donations in
the past. These have been an irreplaceable resource for development
and improvement here. As can be seen in our accounts, which are
submitted annually to the Charities Commission and revealed locally
at our AGM, donations are not used for daily upkeep, maintenance
or, of course, for personal gain. Your committee is honour-bound
to ensure that donations of any kind are respected , treasured and
finally applied to specific projects, to enhance the facility that is here
for all to enjoy. Recent examples have been: the new chairs, the new
heating system and the satellite equipment that brings top shows
from London and elsewhere to Holt for a fraction of what it would
cost you to go there.
Whilst this is not specifically an appeal for donations, we are always
very appreciative when they are received. 100% of all donations
goes towards the projects that are made known!

films are not all that popular in Holt. A lesson has been learned.
Our autumn season will begin on Wednesday 28th September,
hopefully with ‘Dad’s Army’ which will fit rather nicely with the

I hope to see a few more of you for the September film.

THE SOUTH CREAKE LECTURES
ANTIQUES CENTRE
Food for the Mind and Soul
After last year’s highly successful launch series, the South Creake
Lectures are running again this autumn at St Mary’s Church, South
Creake. The idea is to let people hear intellectually challenging
speakers of national repute entirely for free: one talking on a religious
topic and one on a more secular one. These are deliberately not
fundraising events so there’s no entry charge and no ticket is needed
- just turn up on the
evening.
On Friday 2nd
September at
7.00pm the Right
Reverend Victor
Stock, lately Dean
of Guildford
Cathedral, will
give a talk entitled
‘Force Feeding - Is
Religion Bad for You?’. Expanding on this theme, Dean Stock writes:
“From ISIS to Christian fundamentalism millions of people are fed on
certainty and fear of difference.
Is reasonable religion doomed to be dismissed by the thoughtful and
the inquiring or can classical Anglicanism make its voice heard?”
Then on Friday 7th October at 7.00pm Charles Saumarez Smith,
Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts will
speak on the subject of ‘The Sacred and Secular in Contemporary
Art’. This will be an exploration of some of the relationships
between the practice of contemporary art and religion: the search
for transcendence; the idea of the sacred; and the use of symbolic
meaning.

HOLT METHODIST CHUrch
As the minister was addressing a group, he took a large piece of paper
and made a black dot in the centre of it. He then held up the paper and
asked them what they saw. One person replied, “I see a black mark.”
“Right”, the preacher said. “What else?”
Silence prevailed. “I am really surprised,” he said. “You have
completely overlooked the most important thing of all - the piece of
paper.”
How often we are distracted by small, dot-like disappointments and
forget the innumerable blessings and good things that happen in
our lives. How often the ‘black dot’ problems monopolise our time,
thoughts and lives when actually they are tiny specks in a bigger
spectrum called life.

Just Peachy!
Some puddings are just great classics and deserve to be revisited;
Peach Melba definitely falls into this category.
The brilliant blending of warm peaches, ice cream and decadent
raspberry coulis is a beautiful way to finish off a meal and perfect for
the summer. In the interests of frugality, I have used tinned peaches
for this version but by all means at this time of year, if you can get
your hands on a fresh punnet, go ahead; just maybe use a touch more
sugar if they’re firm.
To freshen up the recipe, I have replaced the raspberries with
strawberries, and added Pimm’s, as they go so well together.
Incidentally, I buy a version of this drink called Jeeves, from Lidl, for
a fraction of the price .... I believe Aldi do one as well.
Use up any over ripe strawberries for this recipe rather than wasting
them ... as you’re only going to stew them anyway. Dollop on some
double cream, sprigs of mint and a crunchy cereal to finish and you
have one hell of a gorgeous pudding, full of fresh vibrant flavours
and textures, for very little cost.

Pimm’s and Peach Melba
For the Stewed Peaches:
1 tin peaches, or 4-5 fresh, quartered
2 tblsp Pimm’s
1 dessertspoon sugar
A little corn flour
For the Strawberry Coulis:
½ punnet fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon Pimm’s
A little liquid from the tin of peaches
Sugar to taste
A little corn flour, if required
To Serve:
1 small carton double cream, whipped with a dessertspoon icing
sugar
Vanilla ice cream
Oaty breakfast clusters, crushed
Sprigs fresh mint
Start by making your coulis: place strawberries, Pimms and a
dessertspoon of reserved liquid from the tin of peaches into a small
milk pan and gently bring to the boil. Simmer until strawberries have
broken down ... 3-4 mins. Crush fruit with the back of a wooden
spoon and then pass everything through a fine mesh sieve.
Put liquid back into pan and sweeten to taste with sugar.
Use a very small amount of corn flour mixed with cold water to
thicken the mixture slightly if it needs it. Set aside to chill.
Make the peach mixture, by straining the peaches of most of their
juice and placing them in a milk pan with the Pimms and sugar, and
heat through gently, adding a little corn flour mixture to thicken it
slightly. Place ice cream in a bowl, peaches next to it, drizzle coulis
over the ice cream, add a dollop of sweetened cream, a pinch of oaty
clusters and top with a mint sprig and serve immediately.

EXCITING MONTH FOR CHORAL SOCIETY
An exciting year for Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society concluded recently with a farewell party for Musical
Director, Harry Castle. The choir gathered in St Peter’s Sheringham Parish Hall to
present Harry with a card signed by all the members and a thank you cheque. To the
delight of all present Chairman, Bob Cumber, read a poem written in tribute to Harry by
choir member Godfrey Goodman.
Bob Cumber and Harry Castle are pictured, right.
The previous Saturday saw a splendid Royal Gala concert in the Auden Theatre in
honour of the 90th Birthday year of HM The Queen. The foyer was decorated with
union flags for the occasion and there was much flag waving in the audience when
the concert came to a conclusion with a resounding rendition of Benjamin Britten’s
National Anthem following much enjoyed performances of popular works by Handel
and Mozart, all with a royal theme, under the direction of Harry Castle.
A few days earlier the Society were delighted to be presented, by Norwich &
Peterborough Building Society, Sheringham, with a cheque for £500 following their
Charity Choices
Campaign (left).

BINHAM ART GROUP
Since the demonstration in June by Lionel Wilde on ‘Painting with
Acrylics’, we have attracted several new members with more in the
pipeline. Lionel’s lively and enthusiastic talk was much appreciated
and has stimulated many of us to give it a try.
This was very encouraging, so we are planning some more
demonstrations over the coming months.
Our next big event is the Annual Exhibition which will be held on
Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of August, between 10.00am and
5.00pm at the Binham Memorial Hall.
Please come along and see the exciting work that has been produced
by our members, and also this year by some special local guest artists.
We meet every week on a Tuesday between 10.00 and 12.00 so come
and give it a go.

Zero Balancing from Carole O’Shaughnessy
What is Zero Balancing? Zero Balancing works on our bones. It
Woodburning,
Multi-Fuel & Gas Stoves
is a unique body therapy which seeks to harmonise structure and
energy in the skeleton.
How does it work? With every step we take gravitational
forces are transmitted through our bones and our skeleton uses a
combination of compression and torque to transmit them.
40 years ago osteopath and acupuncturist Dr Fritz Smith MD
created a protocol to mimic the body’s own system of compression
and torque so that the quality of the energetic forces travelling
through our bones could be altered. He discovered that by
changing the quality of the energy flowing through our skeleton
people reported feeling more vibrant, more confident, they were
sleeping better and in many cases pain-free (often the main reason
they consulted him).
Is it safe? Yes. ZB touch is gentle and doesn’t involve manipulation
of the joints. Who can benefit from Zero Balancing? Anyone! Dr Smith
talks about using Zero Balancing for well-being. A feeling of wellbeing comes over us when we are in balance both mentally and
physically so the people who seek Zero Balancing often have a
wide range of issues. Some people have physical problems “I’ve
been in pain for ages and nothing seems to be helping”. Some have
mental or emotional concerns “I often feel anxious and I’m fed up
with having my head full of busy thoughts”. Some people have
experienced a physical or emotional trauma and they haven’t ‘felt
right’ since.
About Carole O’Shaughnessy. Carole achieved Certified Zero
Balancer status in 2007. She made the switch to full time zero
balancer 2 years ago after working as a BACP accredited counsellor
in a NHS Health Centre for almost 20 years. She will be working at
Holt Holistic Centre on Friday afternoons.
To make an appointment please call Holt Holistic Centre 01263
711898 or speak to Carole direct on 07804 770142.
She also has a website www.becomingyou.org.uk

AMBIGUITY… (from a reader)
For those who love the philosophy of ambiguity, as well as the
idiosyncrasies of English:
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?
Whose cruel idea was it for the word ‘lisp’ to have ‘s’ in it?
Can an atheist get insurance against acts of god?
Why do shops have signs, ‘guide dogs only’, the dogs can’t read and
their owners are blind?

HOLT WI
EVENTS
Although the weather was very hot, the July meeting
was well attended.
Wendy Richley, our President, welcomed members
and visitors and then asked for a minutes silence to
remember Joyce Belding, a long standing member of Holt WI who
died recently.
Margaret Brandon, Glenn Scott and
Gillian Pilgrim showed their Box of
Dreams (right) and Fairies which were
entered for the WI Norfolk Federation
Royal Norfolk Show competition. Both
exhibits were much admired. A great deal
of thought and work had gone in to the
displays.
Judith Follows, our treasurer, talked about the Holt sign. As with the
previous sign, WI members have been involved in the committee to
get it updated. The members agreed that the new sign is much nicer,
and voted to give a generous donation towards the costs.
Wendy introduced the speaker, Virginia Eade, who told us about
‘A Year in Siberia’. She visited Yekaterinburg close to the Ural
Mountains during 1994-5. Before 1992 only government workers
lived there. Many of the first Westerners to go, including Virginia’s
husband, were helping with farming problems; the break-up of the
huge collective farms and advising on milk distribution and dairy
products. Although her surroundings sounded rather grim, it was
obvious from her talk that Virginia had made the most of her time
there, getting to know and enjoy the company of some of the Russians
she met.
There is no meeting in August but members plan to visit the home of
one of our committee who has kindly offered her garden in Binham
for fun and a cream tea.
There will be a raffle, bring and buy and boat races!
On 21st September the speaker will be Robert Smith: Harbour Master,
who will talk about Wells-next-the-Sea.

BRISTON PLAYERS
To mark the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the Briston
Players will be breaking, for them, new grounds.
First, they will be performing his ‘Twelfth Night’ on the village green
by the Copeman Centre and, second, they will be fielding an almost
entirely female cast. After all, Shakespeare’s company used boys for
the female parts; why not use women for the men’s parts!
Should the weather prove unkind, the production will move into the
Copeman Centre.
The idea is that we will perform rather as Shakespeare’s own company
would have ‘tread the boards’; in the round with the audience on
all four sides of the performing area. It is intended that this will be
more of a community event, a recognition by the villagers of the debt
we owe to the greatest British playwright. We also hope that it will
introduce Shakespeare to those put off by the solemnity often attached
to his name. In fact, Shakespeare wrote for the people and his (to our
ears) quaint English need not be incomprehensible.
Attendance will be free (contributions will not be refused, of course!)
and the audience will be invited to bring their own refreshments,
though tea, coffee and soft drinks will be available. Performances will
be Sunday 4th September and Sunday 11th September at 2.00pm.

afternoon exploring the various attractions at the site. The visit

THE 6th WEYBOURNE
FOLK WEEKEND
The 6th Weybourne Folk Weekend is almost upon us again.
Based at Weybourne Village Hall this year we start at 7.00pm on
Friday 19th August through until 7.00pm on Sunday 21st.
There will be seven singaround sessions at various times, including
one in the garden of the Ship Inn on Saturday night. These provide an
opportunity for local musicians and singers to perform in their own
particular style.The ‘Summer Mummers’ will be acting their own
‘interesting’ version of the traditional English folk play twice during
the weekend.
On Friday night the guest artists are Kevin Green, who recently
moved from Norwich to North Wales, a very popular and talented
singer/musician. We also have The Tildens from King’s Lynn who
specialise in American Country music.
The guests on Saturday 20th are Tin River who are an excellent trio
who perform traditional music and songs. Bill Whalley and Dave
Fletcher are visiting from Lincolnshire and are great harmony singers
with squeeze box accompaniment. They have been stalwarts in folk
circles for many years. Mike Prior is a fine guitarist/singer again from
King’s Lynn.
On Saturday evening the annual Barndance with Fezziwig Ceilidh
Band is at the Village Hall 8.00pm until 11.00pm. This is a fun event
and full instructions are given. Why not give it a try. Tickets are £7.00
and we are limited on numbers. Bring your own food and drinks.
At the same time, for those who don’t want to dance, there’s
‘Trawling for Songs’ in the garden at The Ship Inn.
The guests on Sunday are Nico Dobben singer/songwriter from
Holland and The Doohickies who will liven up proceedings with their
own brand of foot-stomping folk.
No Weybourne Folk Weekend would be complete without a visit from
the Blakeney Old Wild Rovers, sea songs and shanties from the best
in the area.
All in all this promises to be a weekend of top quality musical
entertainment in the folk tradition and, apart from the Barndance, it’s
free, although we hope that the raffles each day will be well supported
to offset the costs of the event.
Further details and a programme by e-mail can be had from Tony
Baylis 01263 588781 or [email protected].

THE LANGHAM DOME
Regular readers of the Holt Chronicle, will be aware that the old ground to air gunnery training dome at RAF Langham, has been developed as a
museum and is now one of North Norfolk’s leading tourist attractions, with some eight thousand visitors in the two years since it opened on 19th
July 2014.
The major costs of the refurbishment of the building and equipping it with state of the art displays covering the history of RAF Langham and
the Dome Trainer from Langham’s early days as a grass satellite airfield of nearby RAF Bircham Newton, to the final closure of the Dome and
the airfield as a flying base for the No 2 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit (operated by Marshalls of Cambridge), were met by generous
donations from a range of donors. In particular, the project was only made possible with the vision displayed by the ‘Friends of Langham Dome’
(FoLD), who were set up in 2010, with the support of Langham villagers in the first instance, but which is now an organisation, which enjoys a
much wider support base from both the local area and indeed other ‘Friends’ across the UK.
One of the generous donations resulted from the decision by Bernard Matthews PLC to hand over the Dome and surrounding land to the
North Norfolk Heritage Buildings Trust, who now own the facility and who are key members of the Trust’s management, as well as being the
administrators of the largest grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
However, in the not too distant future the Dome will have to become totally self-funding and as well as meeting day to day running costs,
some of the expensive high tech equipment which the Museum uses, will have to be replaced. The first key element of achieving this status is
to seek more members of FoLD, who are happy to pay a yearly subscription
(currently £15.00 for an individual and which can be gift aided as the Dome is
a registered charity), in return for unlimited visits to the Dome.
The second key element is to open the Dome more often, particularly during
the school holidays, and to open at other times to encourage more educational
and special visits by groups, such as schools, RAFA branches, other historic
associations etc. but to do this we need to increase our pool of dedicated
volunteers to staff the Dome.
So we need to ask these bottom line questions to members of our local
community and visitors, are you willing to join the ‘Friends’ and ensure the
Dome Museum remains available in the longer term, and would you be willing
to join our pool of volunteers (for which FoLD membership is encouraged but
is not essential). For volunteers, full training is given and you will find that
it is a most enjoyable social interaction with members of the public, who are
visiting the Dome with a genuine and sometimes very wide ranging interest
and knowledge of the history we are displaying.
If you would like more information on the Dome and/or wish to join FoLD or
volunteer please contact the Dome Manager, Val Bowers on 07762 205578 or e-mail [email protected].
We very much look forward to welcoming you to our friendly and eclectic Dome community.

KELLING PROBUS CLUB
Kelling Probus Club held its July meeting at The Dales
Hotel, Upper Sheringham on 21st, 25 members and two
guests attended and enjoyed a good and sociable lunch.
After lunch the guest speaker was Gerard Core who spoke about his
father Rene Noyau who was a famous writer from Mauritius, who was
also known as Rene Core and by several other pen names. Gerard told
us that he really only got to know his father in later life, as his parents
were separated soon after he was born. However, he found that his
father had been a prolific poet, a surrealist and a writer.
His father had been a writer for Mauritian newspapers, a supporter
of independence and a great promoter of the Creole language. His
writings in Creole would often encourage people to study and further
their lives.
Rene also had a period of life when he was an artist and continued
to write up to his death in 1984. Gerard, his son, was left a lot of
his literary works, many unpublished and in time realised what a
collection he had got.
In 2011 with the help of the Mauritian government he published
the first of several volumes of his father’s work. After his talk and
questions he was thanked by Norman Barnes for the very interesting
presentation.
Kelling Probus Club meets on the third Thursday of each month at the
Dales Hotel and welcomes new members. The meetings are sociable
and friendly and the talks are usually very informative.
Membership is open to retired business men and similar people. Costs
of membership are low and there is no fund raising commitments.
If you would like to become a member, please telephone John
Whittington on 01263 820333.

WEEKEND WITH A MASERATI HELPS
OLD GRESHAMIANS RAISE FUNDS FOR
EAST ANGLIAN AIR AMBULANCE
A reliable and trustworthy pet
sitting service tailored to meet
the needs of you and your pet.
Two men from north Norfolk outbid their former schoolmates in a
charity auction to win their dream car, a Maserati, for the weekend.
The luxury vehicle was donated to the auction by Marshall Maserati
of Peterborough and the old school friends won the Maserati with
a bid of £575, part of a £9,000 total raised for charity by the Old
Greshamians Ball.
Charlie Mack and Duncan Baker were among hundreds of Gresham’s
School alumni who attended the Ball reunion on 25th June, which
raised money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. The pair won the
sporty GranTurismo Sport for the weekend with the winning bid.
Charlie and Duncan, who attended the school from 1988 to 2003 and
1993 to 1998 respectively, still live locally. Charlie owns a 300-acre
farm near Holt and Duncan is a director of the Bakers and Larners
department store.
Commenting on the auction win, Charlie said: “I remember from
driving a couple of Maserati cars several years ago that they are great
fun to drive and really stylish. So, when the auction started, both
Duncan and I wanted to win the Maserati and decided that we’d go in
for it together. We’ve already started thinking about the route we’re
going to take and
can’t wait to pick it
up.”
Carole Merry,
General Manager at
Marshall Maserati,
said: “I’m delighted
for Charlie and
Duncan that they’re
going to have the
opportunity to drive a
Maserati for the weekend. Marshall Maserati is proud to have played a
small part in helping to raise so much money for the East Anglian Air
Ambulance, such an incredibly worthy cause.”
Marshall Maserati in Tyrell Park, Peterborough features a bespoke,
state-of-the-art showroom along with full service and repair facilities,
finished in accordance with the latest Maserati corporate identity. To

CROMER & SHERINGHAM
INNER WHEEL
The Cromer & Sheringham Inner Wheel ladies met during
the summer at The Virginia Court Hotel for the monthly meetings and
AGM.
We all enjoyed a garden party to celebrate The Queens 90th birthday
at member Jane’s home at Kelling Heath. Jane provided good food
and lovely summer weather!
On 13th July we all met at Hamptons Restaurant in Bawdswell to say
thank you to our president Carol for all she has done this year; Shay
presented her with a gift and flowers. Carol then thanked everyone for
all the support she had received during the year and said that £425 had
been raised for her chosen charity The Big C.
Our next Social event will be a barbecue on 20th August at Rita
Holland’s home, this is
the president’s gift to us
to say ‘thank you’.
The next Club
meeting will be on 1st
September when Carol
Selwyn will continue
to be President for the
coming year.
We share a meal
together at the
Virginia Court Hotel
Maureen Ford MBE (left) and
in Cromer each month

with a guest speaker

those in need in this country and abroad. Our membership is open to
any women who would be interested in joining us.

HOLT CRICKET CLUB
Beeston CC vs Holt CC
Dersingham A vs Holt CC
Dersingham A 125-9 lost to Holt 128-3 by 7 wickets
Holt CC won by seven wickets in their latest league
encounter away at Dersingham A. Dersingham reached 125-9
from their 45 overs after being reduced to 18-6 at one stage, due to
disciplined and penetrative bowling from Channell (3-5) and Thaxter
(3-12). L Bragg (1-26), A Riseborough (1-33), L Riseborough (1-35)
got Holt’s other three wickets. Holt chased down 126 for the loss of
three wickets in the 21st over, with key contributions from Chapman
(46), Channell (43 not out) and A Riseborough (26).
This result left Holt in third place, with four games to play.
Solutions to No. 191: 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.Nh4 Nd5 3.f3 f6 4.Kf2 Kf7
5.Kg3 Ke6 6.Kg4 Ke5 7.Kh3 Kf4 8.Rg1 Kg5 9.Kg3 Kh6 10.Kf2 Kh5
11.Ke1. The diagram is easily reached in 6 moves each, an even
number ending with 6... Kh5 - but White’s stipulated odd number of
moves requires the white K to come out and triangulate, performing a
dance movement with his opposite number - a circuit and tempo loss
by both Ks, adding thematic interest to the task of 4½ double moves.
No.192 also shows how a difference in stipulated length can markedly
affect the solutions. In part (b) parity considerations for White
obviously require a similar manoeuvre to No. 191, so difficulty 2 - and
one solving point for each part.

HIGH KELLING GARDEN CLUB
CORPUSTY AND SAXTHORPE ART GROUP
Our recent Garden Club outing to Narborough Hall and
Barsham Hall was a very enjoyable day out, coupled with
glorious weather.
On arrival at Narborough Hall we were greeted by the
head gardener, who suggested we had tea and biscuits before setting
off on the guided tour. Narborough Hall is a Grade II listed country
house surrounded by ancient parkland, lakes and woodland. The
planting in borders, paths and walks is wild and native self-seeding
plants grow amongst herbs, fruit, edible flowers, blackberries and
rambling roses. We were invited to gather seeds from the grasses for
ourselves.
The flowers and grasses are gathered and used for wedding bouquets,
buttonholes and floral arrangements for weddings taking place there
and are created by the resident florist and head gardener. After lunch
we set off for Barsham Hall, which is owned by Mr and Mrs Jeremy
Soames.
Once again the head gardener took us on a guided tour and explained
how he had developed the gardens of approximately ten acres,
with mature yew hedging and sunken garden originally laid out by
Gertrude Jekyll. There is a swimming pool garden, shrub borders,
kitchen garden and herbaceous border, cutting garden, bog garden and
an old- fashioned cottage garden.
We went back to the house for afternoon tea and delicious cakes, after
which Mrs Soames invited us into the house to see paintings by the
late Sir Winston Churchill, together with family portraits and artwork,
which was unexpected, but very much appreciated.
We continued on the guided tour, finishing up at West Barsham
church, before setting off for home.
Thank you Gill and Tricia for making all the arrangements.
Our next meeting is on 12th September when Ian Roofe will give a
talk on ‘Plants of the moment’.
Meetings will commence at the usual time of 7.30pm with coffee, tea
and biscuits available from 7.10pm.
Please contact Joyce on 01263 713971 for more information.
Corpusty and Saxthorpe Art Group meet every Thursday morning
between 10.00am and Noon. Fees are £22.00 for 4 months.
Meetings are held in the Village Hall, Heydon Road,
Corpusty.
Once a month we have a professional tutor who is
experienced in all art mediums.

BODHAM HORTICULTURAL SHOW
from Harry Bruford
Bodham Horticultural Show, which was held on Saturday 23rd July,
was a great success, considering the wet, early growing season and the
heat on the actual day. There were 197 entries and £590.25 was raised
for the Senior Citizens Christmas Lunch.
Many thanks to the local businesses, who so generously sponsored the
Show and to everyone who donated raffle prizes.
The raffle was hugely popular and Brenda and Peter did a grand job
manning the stall. Many thanks also to Mike Sayer, who called the
raffle and ran the auction of produce and made the presentation of the
cups.
Also to Ann and Jackie, who manned the refreshment stall.
Finally, our thanks to everyone, who entered the show and to all who
came and enjoyed the teas and the auction.

CHILDREN’S CREATIVE WORKSHOP
The children’s workshop, held in the Village Hall on 16th July, was
well attended with 20 children and adults having fun making miniature
gardens in seed trays for fairy or dinosaur residents and then turning
their crafty skills to framed flower pictures.
Several mini-scarecrows were also constructed as a sideline.
An inventive morning for everyone!
Some items were entered in Bodham Horticultural Show and did well.
Our thanks to Karen Harris for running the workshop.

More true life experiences
It was the fourth time my mother-in-law had taken her driving test and the
family had been teasing her constantly about her repeated failures.
The test centre was at the top of a hill in our busy local town centre, so, on
the examiner’s command, my mother- in-law carefully checked her rearview mirror, indicated right, looked over her right shoulder, checked the
mirror again, released the handbrake and manoeuvred away from the kerb.
This is going brilliantly, she thought to herself as the car glided effortlessly
down the road.
Her elation was short-lived. “Well done, Mrs Davies,” said the examiner,
“But don’t you think it would be a good idea to turn the engine on at some
stage?”
NORTH NORFOLK PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
Annual Exhibition and Photographers of the Year
Another Glass Ceiling shattered!
North Norfolk Photographic Society’s Annual Exhibition was held
in July in St Andrews’ Church Hall this year. This proved to be an
excellent location, visitor numbers were well up on previous years and
the spacious hall suited the show very well.
On the evening of the first day of the exhibition, 27th July, members
held a social evening when as well as admiring each others’ pictures,
certificates were awarded to those that had done well in competitions
over the last year.
A special part of the evening was the announcement of the members
who had come first, second and third taking all the competitions into
account, the Photographers of the Year.
Chairman Malcolm Edwards first awarded certificates to Michaela
Bone and Karen Spence, who came second and third in the Novice
category and then awarded a trophy to the winner of this group, Rob
Palethorpe.
But anyone who thought that
photography was a hobby for
men in anoraks got a shock
when ladies took first, second
and third places in the advanced
section, another glass ceiling
shattered! The trophy for first
place went to Liz Akers (right),
with Diana Knight (centre) and
Lizzie Wallis taking second and
third spots.
Meetings of the North Norfolk Photographic Society are normally
held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month but after a summer
break will resume on September 21st when Barry Freeman will talk
about English Monochrome Landscapes.
For further details please contact the club Secretary, Judith Wells at
[email protected].
My friend’s elderly mother was telling me about the two ladies who had
moved in next door to her.
“I can’t understand why there’s no man in the house,” she said.
She had her suspicions, so a few weeks later decided to clear things up
once and for all.
“Hello, Jean,” she said, leaning over the garden fence. “I hope you don’t
mind me asking, but are you and Lisa leprechauns?”
She came back into the house and announced, “Well, she said no and
that’s good enough for me.”
