We in turn joined 700 11-18 year olds from all over the country for a tiring but thoroughly enjoyable week. Blueprint was founded by our Children, Youth & Family Missioner (CYFM), Simon Fenn, and meets twice a month. It is growing steadily and enjoys a great sense of what it means to be a young Christian. It is now three years since Simon was appointed as the first Holt Deanery CYFM. It was then and still is an imaginative and creative agreement with the Diocese to fund a full time post that would lead, develop and sustain the work of mission and ministry with young people and their families across this rural deanery of 37 parishes. At the heart of Simon’s work, we continue to believe that every young person matters within God’s Kingdom. Jesus gives us an opportunity to work as a community. We help to build this community by our relationship with all people including the young. Which is where our CYFM comes in. Rural communities as we know have particular challenges especially here on the North Norfolk coast: with small populations and remote villages. It is very different in the towns and the city where sheer volume and numbers make the appointment of youth ministers almost routine. To appoint a rural CYFM is unique and rather radical! So over the past three years Simon has worked extensively in our local schools: Sheringham High; Reepham High; the Primary schools of Sheringham and Holt; the Pilgrim Federation of Kelling, Blakeney, Hindringham and Walsingham. Strong relationships have been established at the youth clubs in Briston, Binham and Holt. Simon supports the Messy Church groups at Weybourne and Blakeney and Living Stones at Holt. One project that has made the greatest impact in the past twelve months has been the growth of Prayer Spaces in our schools – primary as well as secondary. Simon has succeeded in encouraging prayer spaces that invite children and young people to spend a while during their busy break and lunchtimes to pray or leave prayer requests or just sit in quiet surroundings. These wonderful spaces enable children and young people to explore faith and spirituality from a broadly Christian perspective in a safe, creative and interactive way. This project has helped support the excellent pastoral care that the school involved already offer. Feedback from the pupils, the staff and the Headteachers has been universally positive. There is much more besides but this gives us a flavour of what is possible when the Holy Spirit guides our prayers and our actions to support, encourage and enable young people and their families on their journey of faith and in their daily lives. May God continue to bless Simon in his work as our Children Youth & Family Missioner and all our volunteers who support young people so well. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly in the distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Neil Woodruff, the Minister of Wells Congregational Church and also the RNLI Chaplain. The Rev. Andrew Good, Rector of St. Nicholas Church, Wells, gave the blessing. The Churches Together Choir led the singing accompanied by Fakenham Town Band. The service was held to thank God for the often dangerous and selfless work the lifeboat crews undertake between Great Yarmouth and the Humber in order to save lives. The address was given by Rev. John Mills, the RN Association Chaplain who previously served on the aircraft carrier, HMS Victorious. He shared with us some of the many worrying times he personally experienced on board the ship while in stormy waters. He took as his theme the story of Jesus and his disciples on board a boat on the Sea of Galilee. (Mark chapter 4 v 35-41). The disciples did not realise that with Jesus on board their boat they didn’t have to worry or be scared. Rev. John Mills compared this story with the storms of life which everyone has to face. So many things, he said, can make our lives, sad, worrying and scary: loneliness, illness, bereavement, financial problems, hunger, homelessness, family breakdown, divorce, crime, violence……. “Wow!” he exclaimed “I would have Jesus as the coxswain of my boat every day of my life!” All we have to do is to ask Jesus to take control of our lives, and listening to him every moment of each day. With Jesus in control of our boat he will give comfort, help and guidance during the storms and the peaceful times of life. During the singing of the last hymn, Abide with me, it was very moving and poignant watching the lifeboat manoeuvre its way down the channel to the lifeboat station. What dangers lie ahead for the lifeboat crews? What worries, concerns or dangers lie ahead for us…..? The words of one of the hymns we sang were as follows: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, when the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, will your anchor drift, or firm remain? Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear, when the breakers roar and the reef is near? While the surges rage and the wild wind blow, shall the angry waves then your boat overflow? Will your anchor hold in the flood of death, when the waters cold chill your latest breath? On the rising tide you can never fail, while your anchor holds within the veil. Will your eyes behold through the morning light, the City of Gold and the harbour bright? Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore, when life’s storms are past for evermore? We have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll; Fastened to the rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love. 5 Andrew Wigley. a Sp Craymere Road, Briston Nr.

In the last Link Up, I wrote that in May and June “few days reached 70F”, and that “Summer was reluctant to follow Spring”. In July that all changed and we had real Summer weather. A dry June was followed by a dry July with just 0.64 of an inch of rain, but August was better with 1.61 inches, but we are still in need of more. As I write, the grain harvest is almost in, but the sugar beet still has some growing to do. The level of the water at the Kelling water meadow began to fall and by the end of August only a narrow strip of water remained down the centre. We do of course need the level to fall to encourage migrating waders to drop in to feed on their way south, and so it did. A few came in July, but August saw a good selection with up to 54 black-tailed godwits, one avocet, four greenshanks, seven ruffs, redshank and spotted redshank, common sandpiper, knot, snipe, ringed plover and best, two wood sandpipers which brought a lot of birders down to see them. One morning several people were watching them when two of those flying kites with noisy engines swooped low over the meadow to land on the camp. All the birds flew off, and thus two people’s pleasure ruined that of many others. They could easily have flown round the meadow to land. A pair each of coot, moorhen and mallard bred and the pair of Egyptian geese successfully reared their two young and flew off together on the 10th of July. Mediterranean gulls were seen several times, but these newcomers to our British breeding birds are causing problems in some places by nesting in the colonies of terns and are eating their chicks. The beautiful white little egrets now breeding in our area cause no such problems, except to the small fish they catch. I watched one feeding in a ditch at Cley where it caught 20 sticklebacks in 10 minutes; it had some trouble swallowing the larger ones owing to the sharp spines on them. There was a ‘fall’ of migrant birds on the 26th August when there were reports of redstarts, pied flycatchers and wrynecks among other species. I missed the redstarts but did manage to see a wryneck, not a colourful bird but one with intricate patterns of grey, brown and black. A relation of the woodpecker it feeds largely on ants like the green woodpecker. It used to breed in this country but sadly no longer does so. June was a poor month for butterflies and moths but things really livened up in the next two months. Many migrant silver Y moths arrived from the Continent but only a few painted lady butterflies. Peacocks and small tortoishells were more numerous and red admirals made a colourful splash. In August I saw four clouded yellow butterflies at Kelling which I have not seen for years. I went to Holt Lowes to look for my first silver washed fritillaries and was surprised at how large they were. Moth trapping has been very good. I have caught 14 species in my garden for the first time including some not recorded in Weybourne before. One night I caught 90 species of macro moths, and my friend caught 137 species when I joined him. One night he caught a bedstraw hawkmoth, very rare here. It has been an exciting two months, and the cricket has been good too. 7 F.J.L.

Wednesday October 9th – 7.00pm: Hitchcock 2012 (12) starring Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel. A love film based on the story of Alfred Hitchcock and his relationship with his wife during the filming of ‘Psycho’ in 1960. It’s 1959 and Hitchcock is becoming increasingly worried about his relevance. Hitchcock decides a change of direction is what is needed. He settles on adapting Robert Bloch’s true crime novel ‘Psycho’, despite the protestations of both his wife, Alma, and Paramount President, Barney Balaban. Reviews include: “Excellent match between Hopkins and Mirren. They were both very good. The movie is entertaining and the whole family enjoyed it.” “Much more than I expected – I enjoyed it. You really see the connection between him and his wife with heartfelt scenes too.” Wednesday October 23rd – 7.00pm: A Bunch of Amateurs 2008 (15) starring Imelda Staunton, Charles Durning, Samantha Bond, Derek Jacobi and Burt Reynolds. A sleazy Hollywood agent tricks on of his clients, a faded action star, into playing King Lear in an amateur charity production in London. Reviews include: “ superb…………….” “A taste of a lovely mature wine.” “Definitely worth a watch..feet up..and a beverage.” “ English subtle humour and observation. Not bad. A bit uneventful, slow and flat and not particularly funny.” (HOPE THIS REVIEWER GOT IT WRONG) Wednesday November 6th – 7.00pm: Ginger & Rosa 2012 (12) starring Alessandro Nivola, Christina Hendricks, Ellie Fanning, Timothy Spall, Alice Englert, Annette Bening and Oliver Platt. An evocative and beautifully shot portrait of post-war Britain, as seen through the eyes of Elle Fanning’s impressionable young teenager. Ginger and Rosa are 2 inseparable friends growing up in 1960’s London as the Cuban Missile Crisis looms and the pivotal event that comes to redefine their relationship. Reviews include: “Well made and very accessible for Sally Potter (Director). The young girls were great. Hendricks struggled. It’s a great coming of age type tale – recommended.” “This was an elegantly shot film, with care and thought taken to ensure the scene evoked the era and tensions of the time.” (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WOMAN’S WEEKLY) Wednesday November 20th – 7.00pm: Chalet Girl 2011 (12) starring Bill Nighy, Sophie Bush, Brooke Shields, Ed Westwick, Tamsin Egerton, Felicity Jones, Nicholas Braun, Georgia King and Bill Bailey. Kim Matthews, a pretty and cocky 16 year-old from Essex, has the world at her feet, winning skateboarding competitions with an unrivalled skill and 9 panache. 3 years later, however, she’s working in a burger bar, her skateboarding days a distant dream as she struggles to support herself and her dad, mentally and emotionally, after the tragic death of her mum. Reviews include: “Really love this film and want to buy it. Fun, happy, snowy. Seen it a few times and it always makes me laugh, a good film.” “Great film which we thoroughly enjoyed – made you want to attempt snowboarding regardless as to whether you’re capable or not!” JAZZ RETURNS TO THE RED HART Courtesy of Lee and his team, and by popular demand, the Lumiere Rouge is back.

We had help setting things up, help on the day and help with the post event clear up. Without this help, the event, quite simply, could not have taken place. Without this help (and just perfect weather) we could not have achieved the record attendance and record receipts we managed to achieve this year. We know that our friends give their time gladly and enjoy the camaraderie of a ‘team effort’ but we are always so grateful to you folks for what you do and for the true ‘community spirit’ such an event seems to create amongst us all. As always, the proceeds from FunDay will be spent on good causes within the village of Weybourne only, and details of how the money is spent can be seen on our notice board (side wall of bus shelter). GLAVEN CARING: GLAVEN CARING MINI-BUS - CAN YOU HELP? In order to maintain the wonderful service given to many senior citizens in our area by the staff and volunteers at the Glaven Centre we urgently need to recruit more attendants and drivers. The duty consists of taking out our vehicle (a mini-bus with a rear lift to take wheelchairs and less mobile clients) to collect elderly people from Holt, and villages surrounding Blakeney and taking them to the Glaven Centre at Thistleton Court, Blakeney, and returning them home later in the day. We start at 8.45a.m usually finishing before 11a.m; the afternoon session starts at 2.30p.m and finishes about 4.30p.m. The crew consists of a driver and an attendant: The driver needs to be under 70, but there is no age restriction for the attendant. Instruction will be given and no special licence is needed to drive the vehicle. If you are available at least once a month, and are interested in this worth-while and interesting activity please contact Bob Norris, who conducts the training, on 01263 741254. Many thanks in anticipation, Helen Norris. (i/c ambulance rota).

Chalk Rivers are incredibly important for wildlife as the water quality is so healthy. There are about 200 in the world and over 160 of these are in England with a definite stronghold in Norfolk. The Norfolk Rivers Trust, in conjunction with the Norfolk Coast Partnership and the Norfolk County Council, has been awarded £1.3M from the Environment Agency to work on restoring some of Norfolk's internationally rare chalk river habitats. This project is the second biggest catchment restoration project in the country. Over the next couple of years the 9 Chalk Rivers project team will be looking at the Glaven, Stiffkey, Babingley and Gaywood with a long term hope to apply for more funding to work on the Hun, Mun, Heacham, Ingol and Burn. Work will include reinstating the natural bends to allow the rivers to clean themselves, removal of non native species to enable native species to flourish, enable flood plains where possible to develop to store water and provide new habitat for species and work to decrease silt and pollution in the rivers. The project will involve on the ground improvements and the team are working closely with landowners and communities to ensure that their needs are also being met and that they can gain from the work planned by healthier and better functioning rivers. Another major component of the work is to bring local communities together to learn about their rivers, talk about their concerns and in time form self sustaining groups that can ‘manage’ the rivers over the longer term. The project team will be doing that by running a series of walks, talks, workshops and family events. You can find out more about the project on Twitter @9ChalkRivers and on the Norfolk Rivers Trust website at www.norfolkriverstrust.org or contact Gemma Clark, the Community Involvement Officer for the 9 Chalk Rivers Project by email at [email protected] or telephone on 01553 778024.

SOME MUSINGS ON EVERYDAY LIFE: I live in my own little word, but it’s OK, they know me here. Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to deal with. I don’t approve of political jokes; I’ve seen too many get elected. Everyday I beat my own previous record for the number of consecutive days I’ve stayed alive. When every things coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane. The e-mail of the species, is more deadly than the mail. The Lord gave us two ends; one to sit on and other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most. Long ago, when old people cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today. WHY THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS SO HARD TO LEARN: The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. Since there is no time like the present, he thought that it was time to present the present. I did not object to the object. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. They were too close to the door to close it. The stag does certain things when does are present. 13 St Helen & All Saints WEST BECKHAM CHURCHWARDEN Mr. John Berry The Old Rectory, Church Road, West Beckham.

The Sunday readings for the month can be found at the bottom of p2 in Link-up. ROBIN DIPROSE: I saw Robin at Whitehaven a few weeks ago; he seemed happy and comfortable.

Thank you to all the helpers and stallholders and of course a very big thanks to our supporters whether they be from the village or holidaymakers. These events can be quite tiring for our helpers so if you would like to lend a hand at any future event, please have a word with one of the Churchwardens.

CATCH-UP - WEDNESDAY 17TH JULY, 2013: It was with sadness that Sheringham Little Theatre felt unable to proceed with the performance of ‘Teechers’ due to be held at All Saints Church Upper Sheringham. A lot of hard work and effort goes into the Summer Rep performances and as there had been no ticket sales or enquiries, the Little Theatre management felt it expedient to withdraw. The Upper Sheringham Churchwarden and members of the PCC thank everyone at Sheringham Little Theatre for their very kind offer. ‘MORE CATCH UP’ - “PAPER WINGS” BY RHUBARB THEATRE GROUP: Upper Sheringham Church on Friday July 19th was host to a cast of three and one technician who worked non-stop for one and a half hours to produce a magical and very emotive entertainment. The masked players used simple props and shadow cut outs to convey the concept of movement and storyline. Dance, mime, music and a strange but descriptive language connected with a sadly small audience of all ages. This creative group from Lincolnshire deserved more support and will hopefully return to the area with their next production which will be well worth attending. My five year old grand daughter and I loved this unusual show which entertained and intrigued us in turn. M. Cubitt HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING: Our Harvest Service on Sunday 1st of September was a joyous occasion. All tinned and dried food has been sent to the Food Bank at St. Joseph’s Sheringham. The collection at this service was in support of Water Aid.
