From the Editor

Mark Danson-Hatcher

As this issue goes to print the first part ofCromer Carnival, including Carnival Day, hasbeen a wonderful success - even the weather

almost behaved itself. It was such a pity that two veryheavy showers put in an appearance just as the GrandParade was forming on the Carnival Field. Howeverthis didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of participants orspectators and a record entry of floats provided asuperb evening of entertainment. I am sure theremainder of the week will be just as successful,enjoyable and fun for all who take part. Howeverthere are still plenty of attractions to look forward tobeyond the Carnival. Aylsham Show is perhaps thelast big summer show in the Crabline Area on BankHoliday Monday but there are still many other eventsat the villages to enjoy - most are advertisedelsewhere in this issue.Whilst mingling with the crowds on Carnival Day Itook the opportunity to conduct a survey of opinionabout protected status for Cromer Crab. The surveywasn’t scientific but 100 visitors (people who liveoutside the NNDC area) and 100 residents of all ageswere asked if they thought it a good idea thatCromer Crab should have a similar status to stiltonor champagne. Over 75% of residents and 68% ofvisitors thought it a good idea BUT both groupsrecognised the problems of definition and ‘policing’such classification. Both groups also acknowledgedthe likely burden of red tape.It will be interesting to learn of the result of theformal consultation however the ‘man on the Sandersomnibus’ appears to support protected status.

Dear Editor,

The 70th anniversary of the Normandy D.Daylandings is rapidly approaching and the localNorwich/Norfolk Branch of the NormandyVeterans Association is hoping to raise£20,000 by various fund-raising events toenable them to subsidise any veteran whowishes to attend the celebrations. Yourreaders will appreciate that as all the survivorsof this momentous event are now in their late80's or 90's the cost of travel, accommodationand travel insurance is prohibitively high. Also,it is likely, that due to age and infirmity, thatthis will be the last chance that the veteranswill have of visiting the scene of this turningpoint in WW. 2 and to pay their respects totheir fallen comrades. With this in mind it has

been decided to ask members of theAssociation to organise an event in their area.Here in Cromer there is to be a Quiz at theCottage public house on 20th September at2-30 pm. There will be prizes for the winningteam and a grand raffle. Entry is free but therewill be a retiring collection. The Quiz Master isJohnny ( Grumpy ) Groom. We are of coursehoping that the event will be well supported bylocal people. One further point. I know and am in touchwith three other local, surviving, Normandyveterans but would like to hear from anyothers in the Cromer locality. Please call meon 01263 515675.

Yours sincerelyGeorge GallagherEx Royal Engineers

Dear Editor, I regularly travel from Mundesley to NorthWalsham on the number 5 bus.We have to go through Trunch, a lovely littlevillage which has always been a very importantpart of my life.Somebody has erected two bus shelters - oneon either side of the North Walsham road.The shelters look as if they've come from thedump - they are past cleaning up and theycertainly spoil the look of that part of thevillage.I've listened to comments on the bus, fromholiday makers, who are under the impressionthat vandalism is rife in Trunch simply becauseof the state of the shelters.Who on earth approved these monstrosities,they should be made to remove them - I can'timagine the village people had much of a say.

Maybe we're supposed to think, rather like thestory of the Emperor's New Clothes, thatthese so called shelters are pleasing to the eye. Janet Munro13 Marina RoadMundesley

Dear Mr H. MouseI read the report of your Mundesley visit withinterest and chose to pick sign #4.My cousin Mr. B. Mouse who lives in thePaston Bat Box opposite me says that hisfriend, Mr. S. Mouse at Stow Windmill toldhim that your sign #4 is actually in the parishof Paston. He is trying to get as many friendstogether as possible in the hope that they cangnaw through its post and remove it. He alsosays that the Mundesley tribe are trying totake possession of Stow Mill and the HolidayCentre, both of which are in the parish ofPaston. He sees no ‘magic’ in Mundesley, itjust does not know where it begins and ends.

Yours,Mr. D. Mouse

The East Anglian Working Newfoundland Club have become a firmfavourite at the Cromer Carnival and other summer events along thecoast as well as inland. Although these large strong dogs are quite capableof pulling a substantial load on land they are renowned for their ability toswim and have an instinct for water rescue. The breed takes its namefrom the Dominion of Newfoundland now in Canada and were originallybred as working dogs by fishermen. Although very powerful they have avery gentle, calm nature and are immensely loyal. Their thick double coat,webbed feet and innate swimming ability has enabled them to save manyhuman lives. The EA Working Newfoundland Club have regularlyprovided sea rescue demonstrations as part of the carnival programme.During carnival week the Newfies and their owners are based at SandyGulls Caravan Park on the outskirts of Mundesley. I went along to meetthem.Sandy Gulls is a dog friendly site and has become the Newfoundlandsregular carnival week home. The cliff top location provides an ideal baseaway from the hustle and bustle of Cromer at the height of the carnival.

Gentle Giants at Sandy Gulls

Sam, owner of Sandy Gulls, took me to meet Greg and Julie Roffe andtheir dogs Harper, Bromwyn and Caira. Later we were joined by PaulChallis and his dog Juno. It was a warm day and the dogs were lyingquietly in the shade. Although photographs give some idea of these dogsits only when you get close to them that you appreciate their bulk andtheir character. Unprotesting they were fitted with their harnesses for agroup photograph and although not obvious at first their bright intelligenteyes didn’t miss a thing going on in the area.Working Newfoundlands begin training from about 12 weeks old;training can continue until the age of 3. However, as Greg and Juliepointed out, swimming and the desire to rescue is instinctive to thesedogs “All we are doing is channelling their instinct”. In a rescue situationthe dogs will naturally take hold of the casualty but working dogs on dutywear a special harness with handles, which makes it easier for someoneable to float or swim, to hold onto whilst being towed to safety. TheNewfoundlands are impressive dogs in more ways than one. Find outmore from the East Anglian Working Newfoundland Club:www.eawn.co.uk

Hi Everyone, Wasn’t it alovely week for CromerCarnival?

I was on duty in the Carnival fieldand met lots of wonderful childrenand their parents; many of themvisited the Police display. Did youcome and visit us?The Police Box created a great dealof interest. We were asked manytimes if it was the Tardis from DrWho.You may not have been able totime travel in our Police box, butyou could have lots of funanswering questions on the outsideof the Police box and thenyou received a super 999 badge.999 is the number you contact in anemergency. When you want tocontact your local police officersfor something less urgent thenumber to phone is 101. You canuse this number 24 hours a day, 7days a week.Today Police Officers carry a radioand can immediately contactheadquarters. But it was notalways so easy. Before theinvention of Police mobile radios aPolice Officer only had a whistle toblow if he needed assistance.. It wasalso realised that much of the

Police Officer’s time was wastedtravelling to and from his PoliceStation. So In the 1920’s Policeboxes were introduced in Britain.

Each Police box was 4 feet squarecontained a small desk, a stool,electric lighting and a heater. Onthe outside of the box, in a smallcompartment you would find atelephone and first aid kit.

The telephone and first aid kitcould be used by the Police and

members of the public. As radioswere introduced Police Boxesbecame less useful and by the1980s most of them had beenremoved.One can still be seen at CrichTramway Village, near Matlock inDerbyshire.

I had a great time at the carnival.There was lots of exciting things tosee. I even had a go in a fightercockpit. It was great funpretending I was the fastest cop on

Crabbeat. Would you like a chanceto sit in this cockpit and find out

what it feels like to be a fighterpilot, flyinghigh in the sky.?You can by visiting the Spirit ofColtishall displayat the Radar Museum atNeatishead.The Sprit of Colitishall is thepreservation of the history andmemory of RAF Coltishall.There is lots to see and do at themuseum. For more informationvisit the website:www.radarmuseum.co.uk

Bye for now, see you next time onCrabbeat.

Currently most homes are heatedusing fossil fuels but we are allnoticing the financial cost and

are now much more aware of theenvironmental cost of the comfort andconvenience of oil or gas fired centralheating systems. Technologicaladvances have improved the efficiency ofoil and gas fired boilers enormously butfuel costs continue to rise and thesesystems continue to generate CO2.Technology is beginning to providealternatives but the systems developedso far tend to be large, obtrusive andrelatively expensive. However there isan efficient, environmentally friendlyalternative available now - a modernwood or multi-fuel burning stove.How is burning wood environmentally sound?

As it grows a treeabsorbs CO2 aspart ofphotosynthesis.When felled andburnt the sameamount of CO2 isreleased back into

the atmosphere. However if the burning isconducted as efficiently as possible the CO2count is reduced, making wood a potentiallyCO2 neutral fuel. The cycle becomessustainable when wood for fuel is grown in amanaged way.The wood or multi-fuel burning stovehas evolved into a sophisticated andhighly efficient combustion chambercapable of heating part or all of yourhome with the added advantage ofproviding a live flame that is instantlycomforting and cheering. Obtaining theright stove is essential and expert adviceis available at Coastal Stoves and Fires atHolt.The company, established by SharronKetteringham over six years ago,provides a full service from technicalspecification, choice of style throughfitting and commissioning tomaintenance and servicing.Having grown up around the familyheating engineering business based atSheringham, Sharron already had a good level of

knowledge of the tradeand wanted to run herown business. Sheidentified the shortageof expertise in woodand multi fuel stoves inthe area andapproached ThePrince’s Trust with herplans. The Trust vettedthe potential businessthoroughly beforeproviding Sharron with

assistance toestablish CoastalStoves and Fires.“It was a greatexperience; thebusiness mentormade sure Ididn’t run beforeI could walk andpaid attention toall the details ofthe business” saidSharron.The showroomat HempsteadRoad Industrial

Estate, Holt, is open to trade anddomestic customers and displaysexamples from the ranges of mostmain manufacturers includingCharnwood, Villager, Parkray andMorsØ. There is also a wide range ofaccessories and customers canpurchase smokeless coal andbriquettes.Coastal Stoves and Fires alwaysconduct a site survey before makingany recommendations to a potentialcustomer. “Its essential to specify theright sized stove” said Sharron “simplybuying from a brochure withoutunderstanding the capabilities of astove leads to problems particularlywhen the stove is too big and

overheats a room. This causes the owner toclose down the stove to keep the temperaturedown and combustion becomes inefficient.Another common problem is using unseasonedwood. Wood needs to be as dry as possible,seasoned for 12 to 18 months, ideally longer, toensure efficient combustion otherwise thechimney or flue becomes coated with sap andtar carried by the moisture which can lead tomore serious problems but also completelyundermines the environmental advantages asby-products and soot are released into theatmosphere”. Another advantage of a stove isthat it doesn’t necessarily need a full brick built

chimney. Modern flues are robust,unobtrusive and in some cases cancontribute to the heating of largerspaces. Again the site survey willestablish just what is needed.The range of styles and designs hasdeveloped considerably in recentyears and you will find outwardly verytraditional looking stoves through tothose more like a piece of modernsculpture. Whatever your interiordesign needs there is a stove to meetthem. “Even the most traditionallooking stove uses a complex ductingsystem which causes the combustionair to ‘wash’ deposits off the doorglass, brings

it up to the optimumtemperature and thenburns the fuelefficiently” saidSharron “Obviouslysome maintenance isrequired but if thestove is operatedproperly this isminimal. Parts of thestove’s mechanism

can wear or become lessefficient but generallyonly after many yearsuse” Coastal Stoves andFires are a fully HETASaccredited company andtheir highly experiencedfitters could have yournew stove installedwithin two to five daysdepending upon thework involved “Wherethere are major changes

to the fireplace or a new hearth has to be createdthe job will take a little longer to allow mortaror tiling to have dried sufficiently for theinstallation” said Sharron.A modern wood or multi-fuel stove is a seriousalternative to oil or gas. Coastal Stoves andFires are your local expert company coveringNorth Norfolk and beyond. “We are verypleased to be authorised dealers for most majormanufacturers and a main regional dealer forMorsØ” said Sharron. “We have customersthroughout the area, Norfolk, Suffolk andCambridgshire”.Coastal Stoves and Fires provide acomprehensive service and fully guaranteedwork. You could be enjoying the naturalwarmth, cosy glow and environmentally friendlyefficiency of a wood or multi-fuel stove thisautumn.

Simon could clearly haveentertained us for several hours but, in the timeallowed, he was able to impart a good deal ofknowledge and explode some commonmisconceptions.The next meeting is on 4th September, when thespeaker will be David Paull. His talk is entitledthe “The Journalist’s Legal Minefield” whichpromises to be topical, in view of the LevesonEnquiry. David has plenty of experience injournalism, as a practitioner and as a tutor inboth journalism and law.

The Less You Know, The More You Make"Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers andScientists can never earn as much asBusiness Executives and Sales People." Thistheorem can now be supported by amathematical equation based on thefollowing:

1. Knowledge is Power.2. Time is Money.

As every engineer knows:Power = Work / Time

If Knowledge = Power and Time = MoneyIt follows that: Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get:Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero,Money approaches infinity, regardless of theamount of work done.

At some time in the future there maycome a time when all of us needsomeone else to be able to make

decisions on our behalf. However we would liketo think that our own wishes and expectationscould be shown in those decisions whether theyare for a short time or for longer.It may be that a simple arrangement is enough,such as arranging for someone else to pay billsthrough your bank while you are in hospital, or

more complicated, perhaps due to a long terminability to cope through illness.Powers of Attorney are legal documents whichgive someone else authority to act on yourbehalf. The attorney is the person, or persons,that you appoint to look after your affairs.There is an Ordinary Power of attorneycovering your finances only, and a Lasting Powerof Attorney which can cover property andfinance.

Mundesley’s inshorelifeboat day began with acliff top service with the

volunteer crew standing behindus, and a gentle sea breeze waftingover us.The sea was like a millpond, but aswe sang “Eternal Father, strong tosave, whose arm doth bind therestless wave” images of strongtides & huge waves came to mind,when those brave volunteers goout to rescue someone in troubleat sea.The sky was filled with high cloudand looked like a Constablepainting, with the red brick building housing theCoastwatch Lookout and Maritime Museum

standing proudly; within it the Coastwatchvolunteers watching over the coast and sea tothe distant horizon.A congregation of fifty or more were led inworship by Rev. Rod. When the service wasconcluded we moved to the Fete. So manypeople, dogs, children, colour and stalls, all

raising money for the lifeboat. There werecakes, jams & marmalade, all homemade. The

smell of onions & sausages being cookedby Roger & Pauline, made the hungerpangs begin.Mundesley’s Charity Shop had half theirstock plus souvenirs to sell and was busyfrom the start.Everyone there was smiling, armed withbags of plants, prizes and other goodies.Something for all ages and well thoughtthrough as there were plenty ofchildren’s games to keep them busy.The Coastguards gave a riotous display ofwater safety, armed with water guns, twoof them dressed as well endowed ladies,trying to control their unruly “sons”.As I wandered off, I could hear the

laughter, the music and the wonderful sound ofpeople enjoying themselves whilst helping sucha good cause.My last thought was that we don’t need tospend a lot to have a really good time, do we?

4. Why do hens lay eggs?Because if they dropped them they'd break!5. Which side of a chicken has more feathers?The outside.6 Why did the cactus cross the road?Because he was stuck to the chicken's back.
