Letter cont inued on Page 4

Thank you Alan Eatough for yourletter. (below) There is so much toconsider as a way forward  in howwe see our elected MP and howthey operate in Westminster.

I agree with Alan on the subject of borrowing revenue generated from our taxes which should be enough to run this country.Likewise the economics of having

so many paid MP and members ofthe House of Lords is questionable, how many there should be is avery large question to answer.

As for letting the education of our  children and students be run purely  by the existing systems, I reallydo not know what the overallanswer should be.

Despite this letter below havingrst appeared in the Nth Norfolk  News, there is much to considerin it’s content generally.

Issue 024. Yes, some 48 weekslater we produce the issue with

my lucky member, which justhappens to be my date of birth24/08/1952. Has it ever provedto by my lucky number? Well,I did once win a dozen bottlesof beer in a rafe by selectingthis number.

Do you have a lucky number, andhave you ever won anything byselecting that number?

If I do win anything by printingthis Issue number I will let youknow, of course.

It is always good to see a new business opening up in Cromer, particularly the new gift shop in what used to be the video andcamera shop in the High Street.I do wish them all the very best.

Due to having serious problemswith our BT email address, canI ask people to please send any& all information via our homeemail address below which is:

 From The Editor

Dear Philip,My old mum used to advise me to try andavoid buying things on credit.

She said it was an expensive way of doingthings and she much preferred paying“cash on the nail” whenever she could.

I have tried to follow this piece of advicethroughout my life and if I really wantedsomething, then it was worth waiting forand I saved up the money before getting it.

I have seen this idea of good housekeeping

suggested to the various governments of the day and it has been met with some derision. 

Something along the lines of “that might work   for a household but funding government is farmore complex and people wouldn’t under-stand even if we explained it to them.”

Successive governments, for as long as I canremember, have operated on this “buy nowand pay later” basis (to win votes?) andeach one has left ofce leaving us witha bigger national debt.

Despite all the cuts, I think this government is on course to do the same thing. The savingsmade so far have only slightly reduced theamount we borrow and have not touched theoutstanding debt which continues to increase.

I do wonder who we are borrowing all thismoney from. If the interest rates on theseloans go up by any signicant amount,then we are all going to be in realtrouble. (Ask the Greeks)

It seems that as a country, we have beenliving beyond our means for decades.

Our economic strategy, like those in otherwestern nations, is based on growth, withthe rate of growth being used as a measureof success. Growth however needs an ever- increasing population and there are limitsto the numbers of people that Britain andindeed the planet can reasonably sustain,so at some point, economies have to stopgrowing and nd a radically differentway of doing things.

Meanwhile emerging economies such as thosein China & India are now growing at a very

fast rate and to fuel that growth, they have joined the global search for things like oil,gas, timber, minerals & fresh water, driving up the prices of these resources which wecan expect to pay a lot more for in the future. 

I think that within a generation, greatchanges are going to happen.

Traditional western economies will declineand lose inuence and those in the Far Eastwill gain in economic power.

We have a lot to be proud of in our history but  we must adapt to the world as it is today.

We are no longer a world power and have noright to unilaterally interfere in the affairs of

other countries, because this encouragesterrorism rather than preventing it.

Our armed services should be designedfor purely defensive purposes and anyinternational policing actions should be done through the United Nationsor the E.U.

We can no longer afford an independentnuclear deterrent (if it was ever trulyindependent of the U.S.).

Trident should be scrapped and some of themoney saved spent on properly equipping and  supporting our conventional armed services.

Parliament should set an example by stream-lining itself; reduce the number of MPs by atleast a third, make the Lords a purely elected body, abolish the in-house, subsidised Parlia-

mentary restaurants & bars (we don’t elect MPsto wine & dine each other at our expense) andhave an honours system that rewards peoplefor seless acts and not for how much theycontribute to party funds.

Hugely expensive, prestige projects of question-able value such as the proposed High Speedrail link, should be abandoned in favour ofimproving existing provision.

The government could also save a lot of money by stopping interfering with education andthe health service and letting them get onwith the job.

Unless we take measures such as these andindeed more such measures, the future isgoing to be a pretty uncomfortable placefor the residents of Britain.

Dear Editor,Mundesley W.I. had a very successfulGardeners’ Question Time.

We had many people attend and had a livelyevening with lots of interesting questionsand informative answers from our panelof local experts. Pictured Above by Paul Damen.

In the interval our visitors enjoyed Coffee,Tea and Cakes which our Members had

contributed.With the Rafe and Entrance Fee we raisedover £400, for our charities.

Many thanks to all who made the eveningan enjoyable success.

Election of a County Councillor  for 

North Walsham EastA poll for the election of a County

Councillor for North Walsham East washeld on Thursday 24th October.

Eric Seward for the Liberal Democrats wasthe sucessful candidate with a turnout of

29.48% from an electorate of 8692.

The Election Results were:

Eric Seward: Li beral Democrat - 1044 votes

Lynette Comber : UKIP - 565 votes

Stephen Burke : Labour - 442 votes

Rhodri Oliv er : Conservative - 359 votes

Paul Oakes : Green Party - 80 votes

Graham Jones : Independent - 61 votes

Dear Editor,Can I thank everyone who supported Labourin the North Walsham East county council by-election on 24th October?

Congratulations to Eric Seward on winning.He now faces a huge challenge, as a countycouncillor, district councillor and towncouncillor, to breathe new life into North Walsham.

More of the same won't do.

The town has so much potential but itdesperately needs a vision and plan ofaction together with the energy anddetermination to make it happen. 

Labour will support the town's representatives if they can deliver on that ambition.

In the meantime the Labour Party will continue to stand up for families and all the youngand older people hit by austerity.

 North Walsham needs jobs, affordable housing, transport and childcare, and investment in

 public services and local infrastructure.Labour will be on the side of ordinary people as they struggle with the costof living this winter.

Stephen Burke

Labour candidate,

 N. Walsham East county council by-election

There is no charge, (we may hand a basketround for donations) and we can arrangetransport if required.

So contact Mike on: 01263 720 852or e-mail: [email protected] your name, how many seats yourequire, and if you require transport.And of course a contact number.

I have to say this Christmas Lunch wouldnot be possible without, our local shopsand businesses, All-Saints PCC, andthe Mundesley Parish Council.

Regards

Mike Mardon

Dear Mr Keddell,Please permit me to defend myself againstthe accusation, in your previous edition, of  cyber bullying; I feel this rather extremeand playing the PC card to its outer limits.

Let me put the record straight AND my

statements which caused the upset, backinto context, which they appear to havecome adrift from.

My letter reads ‘I nd it hard to a) cometo terms with the signatory’  how can this phrase be considered as ridicule?

This is by no means making light of serioussituations but I fnd so many things hardto come to terms with - the civil war andgenocide in Syria; the treatment of streetdogs in Romania; the price of gas andelectricity; etc, etc, etc ... I mean...?

The thing that did tickle me, however,was - and I quote: ‘some business

sponsoring a hole’.The following immediately came to mind andI had a little larff to myself. Forgive:

“Don’t dig it there, dig it elsewhere. You’redigging it round and it ought to be square.The shape of it’s wrong, it’s much too long

 And you can’t put a hole where a holedon’t belong”.

A...hem...(my regaining composure, yet again) Correspondent Chris Posthumus then attempted  to qualify his claim of my being a ‘coward’ by expressing his doubts that I would (dare)‘ridicule (his) name’  in person but only‘from the comfort of (my own) home’ .

Oh, come now, Chris, how wrong can you be? 

Anyone who knows me will testify that ‘what you see is what you get’  - I’d already explainedin my original letter that I have an obtuse sense of humour and that is what I (and my associates, poor sods) are stuck with, it gets me throughthe day yet no one is intentionally intendedto be a butt of it, trust me.

Sooo, let me say it to your face - over a pint?

You would then see for yourself that anyseemingly outlandish statements I make are invariably accompanied with a wry smile,a nod and a wink, and even a friendly push to the shoulder.

Try me ... Visual body language is anecessity (smiley face).

Yours

Micky P of Trimingham-on-Sea.

Happy Birthday 

Mundesley Library.50 Years later Mundesley’s Public Libraryis very much alive & well, thanks to a great team of workers and volunteers who helpthem all out.

On Tuesday October 22nd, I along with ahealthy number of other residents, turned out to witness the cutting and tasting ofa delicious cake to celebrate 50 yearsof the Mundesley Library.

I have to take my hat off to everyone atWoodlands, as they are always ready toget involved in everything that is goingon locally.

One young lady, Maxine Reid (Above) hasraised over £550 for Cancer Research bylosing a stone and a half and by giving

up smoking as well.I have to hand it to the team at Woodlandsfor  their dedication to Cancer Researchand by getting so many turning out tosupport an event such as this.

See their advertisement on the back pageto nd out what events are taking place.  PK 

Continued From Front Page

At 3pm. the cake was cut by the one and only Councllor Wyndham Northham ( pictured )who gave a short address to the gatheringof the good folk in attendence.

By all accounts the Mundesley Libraryhas been situated in four other placesin the village over the years.

An account of the library’s history has beenre-written by Paul Damen, who I am mostgrateful to for supplying these photographs 

that he took on the day.The whole library service in Norfolk is upfor revew in December this year, including naturally this particularly brilliant locallibrary that does so well in Mundesley.

I have to say that the team that run it providea brilliant service and are well worth keepingto run this great service for us all.

Watch this space.PK

are your future clients.

Barnsdale -The TV YearsIn 1967 Geoff Hamilton rented a cottage andland from the owners of Barnsdale Hall.

He had the front laid out to owers and at the rear of the property he planted fruit & veg.

He had started with occasional appearanceson the TV programme Gardener’s Worldwhich he gradually built up and by 1982he was the main presenter.

Barnsdale Hall was now up for sale so Geoffhad to move a mile up the road to a farmhouse  

with Five and a half acres of land.Barnsdale has been organic for 25years andGeoff was keen to show the amateur gardener  that everything didn’t have to be expensiveand showed viewers how to make something instead of buying it.He wanted his viewers to enjoy theirgardening as much as he did.

He wrote and presented several series,his last being The Paradise Garden,he again created 2 different gardens,one with shop bought garden fences& furniture and the other usingonly Geoff’s own handwork.

He was the longest serving presenterof Gardeners World .

This talk and slideshow, given by hisson Nick (pictured Right) was held inthe Lighthose Community Church onthe Cromer Road in Sheingham to avery full house.

Our thanks to the Rector and to Nickfor a great evening.

 Barnsdale Gardens is open to the public and attracts 40,000 visitorsevery year.

Incidentally, the West Runton Pavilion became another Norfolk iconic venuewhere nationally and internationallyknown rock acts would ‘try out’ prior  

to embarking on their major tours.Similarly, the Cromer Pavilion.

Time to introduce the soul singer Lucas to the proceedings, a wonderful warm black guy who punctuated the talk with six vintage songsfrom his repertoire - Mother-in-Law; Can’tHelp Myself; Harlem Shufe; Respect;Unchain My Heart and, appropriatelytitled, Living in America.

Lucas, who now performs live throughout theUK, came over to the UK and was a VIP driver  for US Airforce generals and colonels inLakenheath & Mildenhall and eventuallymarried and settled down in Norfolk.

His performing pedigree is something to

 behold, having toured with James Brown;Stevie Wonder; Four Tops; Edwin Starr;Ben E King; Supremes; Detroit Emeralds;Chi-lites; Geno Washington; Jimmy Jamesand the Vagabonds; The Real Thing...

I feel sure that everyone present - a selectaudience indeed - considered it two-and-a-half hours extremely well spent.

When asked to complete a brief commentsform by the Librarian, I truthfully concluded by stating “...I didn’t want the talk to cometo an end”

Mikkki Rokk, Seaside-on-Sea.

How Norfolk GotThe Groove.....and no one even uttered a ‘shush’

 Not an everyday scenario in a local library- a black soul singer belting out ‘HarlemShufe’ while the public AND librarians

clap along in time to the backing - butthat was the case in Mundesley lastThursday afternoon.

What a treat.

As part of the Norfolk Black History Month,musician John Davison gave a fascinating yet relaxingly informal talk on how Norfolk became the ‘interface’, as it were, and pioneered Blues and Soul music intoGreat Britain.

John started his narrative by posing thequestion: “How do you think it is that Norfolk, particularly Norwich, has proportionally far more musiciansthan the rest of the Country?” 

We were about to get the answer...During the war - once our American allies joined the conict, 135,000 US servicemenwere brought over and based in the UK,50,000 of them within a 30 mile radiusof the City of Norwich and with themcame their music.

Back in the States - prior to the coming of the railroads - music had been a much moresoulful lament often sung by, or about, the black slaves and the cotton elds and thehardships and the mistreatment they had toendure yet, once these railroads found theirway into the various states, the compellingsound of the train wheels pounding on the

 joints in the track brought about a totalchange in rhythmic style and the boogie-woogie came about.

The heavy repetitive left hand on the pianowhilst, at the top end of the keyboard,the occasional right hand rocking thumband pinky would mimic the mournfulloco whistle.

Rhythm & blues, souland, eventually rock& roll, was on its wayinto all of our lives.

How it involuntarilychanneled my own ...well, that’s anothercomplete story ...

We now move forwardto the International

tensions of the Cold War period of the 50’s& 60’s when more USA personnel oodedinto Norfolk and the Anglian region andthis time they brought their soul musicalong with them.

We heard how The Jolly Butchers andThe Orford Cellar - both in Norwich - andBlack Anna, the landlady of the former, became synonymous with American blues(and Americans!) during this time.Friend Lis, who accompanied me to the talk,whispered across to me that she attended theJolly Butchers with her Father while she wasstill in school uniform...

Meanwhile, over in the States in the latter halfof the 60s, Detroit became the centre for anothervariant on black music - perhaps a moreup-to-date type of ‘slavery’ this time - ofthose working in the motor manufacturingindustry; Detroit gained the pseudonym‘motor town’ foreshortened to Motown,of course.

Enter the Four Tops, the Supremes,Stevie Wonder, SmokeyRobinson..So it goes on...

The site of the Orford Cellar bears a Blue Plaque bearing this wording -

 “In the 1960s the OrfordCellar hosted performances

from rock legendsJimi Hendrix, Ginger Baker,Rod Stewart, David Bowie,

Eric Clapton, Elton Johnand Geno Washington,

courtesy of the localimpresario Howard Platt.

The place to try out a newline-up before touring,

the Orford also featuredlong lived and popular

What happens in a class?

Classes always start withour Say Hello sign songduring which parents canuse simple sign languageto communicate withtheir baby.

Parents enjoy learningnew signs and babies just love expressivemovement!

This is followed by sensory activities which parentscan enjoy with their babyand also gives parents awealth of ideas to tryat home!

The class also has anexploratory play area(which changes eachweek) where babiesand parents can take a break and explore arange of equipment specically selected tostimulate their senses and aid development.

Each week is different.

With forty themed lesson plans, babies candiscover a magical underwater world, explore a tropical jungle, journey in to Space andhave fun at our Baby Athletics!

All the activities are excellent for developing physical, social, emotional and language skills

while encourage co-ordination, awareness, a love of music and the concentration soneeded for further development.

What do babies get out of it?

Other than sheer delight and excitement,the classes have been designed to help babies develop in the following areas:

 Language – many parents experience intensefrustration in understanding their baby’s signals. Sign Language is one way of taking theguesswork out of parenting.

 Physical movement – although babies should  always sleep on their backs, tummy time is an essential aspect of development from birthand babies need to be on their tummies inorder to go through the fundamentalmovement patterns that stimulate both sides of the brain.

Socialising - happy social play sets the tonefor the acquisition of future skills such ascooperation, turn taking and sharing.

 Emotions – massage is one sensory delightthat really strengthens the bond because it provides an opportunity for parents toexpress their love

Baby SensoryEver hear of this before?Unless you have a child aged between 0 and13 months the answer is probably No, youhave never heard of this before. Nor I.

So what is it all about, you may ask.

Lisa Stickells is the second daughter of thelocal butcher Icarus Hines, who happensto run successful butcher’s shops in both Sheringham & Cromer.

Having moved up to Norfolk recently withher husband and 10 month old son Stanley,from Bromley in London, Lisa was looking for her local Baby Sensory classes withlittle to no success so she decided that

she would set them up herself.Lisa said:

“Stanley absolutely loved the Baby Sensoryclasses (as did I). The magical atmosphere,singing, signing and varied play totallymesmerised him and I could quicklysee how much it was helping withhis development.

 My husband was then sadly made redundant,so we took the opportunity to move back to Norfolk where I grew up.

When I decided that I needed to do somethingabout this! I completed my training last monthand will be running free taster sessionsin December and starting the rst Baby

Sensory programme in January 2014.

Baby Sensory and it’s benefts: 

The programme, designed specically for babies from birth to 13 months and offers a complete approach to learning and development withrich and varied sensory activities enabling babies to develop in every possible way!

Volunteers WantedThe NNDC is seeking volunteers for a newcommunity dog warden scheme

 North Norfolk District Council has launcheda community dog warden scheme to crackdown on dog fouling across the district andis appealing for volunteers to sign up.

Dog fouling is a huge concern for residents,not just because of the mess, but because it poses health risks that can cause stomachupset, sore throat, asthma and in extremecases it can cause blindness.

 N NDC gures show that historically, thenumber of complaints it receives aboutdog fouling increases as the eveningsstart to draw in.

With plans to re-launch its ‘No Messing’anti dog-fouling campaign, NNDC hopesthat both the campaign and the introductionof community dog wardens will assure theresidents that reducing the presence of dogfouling in public places is a priority.

The role of a community dog warden is toeducate irresponsible dog owners that dogfouling is not acceptable, and together with

support from the NNDC’s EnvironmentalProtection team, to promote the virtuesof responsible dog ownership.

John Lee, NNDC’s Cabinet Member forEnvironment said:

“When the clocks go back and the nightsstart to draw in, this is when we start tosee a steady increase in complaints ofdog fouling.

 Dog owners need to understand that they are posing a risk to the safety of others if they donot clear up after their dogs, and using thecover of darkness is just not acceptable.

 As a community dog warden, you will be avaluable part of your community and will

be given the full support of the NNDC’s Environmental Protection ofcers tohelp educate people on how we canmake our local environment andcommunity a cleaner place.”

Volunteers wishing to become a communitydog warden will need to be friendly, openand willing to help make a difference.

It is a non-confrontational role, andwardens will not have the powerto issue xed penalty notices.

Volunteers can offer to work whenever theyare free to give up their time, although patrolsare not expected to last more than three

hours at a time.Each warden can expect to receive fulltraining and will be provided with a highvisibility jacket and a pocket notebook.

Mr Lee added:

“Although community dog wardens will notbe able to issue xed penalty notices, theywill be providing regular information to NNDC’s enforcement ofcers.

 Irresponsible dog owners should be clearthat we will not tolerate dog fouling in North Norfolk and we’ll have nohesitation in ning offenders.”

If you are interested in volunteering you cansign up at this site as soon as possible:

www.northnorfolk.org/environment/18836

or contact the NNDC EnvironmentalProtection team for more informationon:

And Another £500 Given To The Cromer Skate Park By Budgens

So far Budgens have helped to raise over£2,000 for this very worthy cause.

The town of Cromer has needed such a parkfor far too many years and it is now a caseof watching this space for full details onwhat is being planned to raise even moremoney for this park, by holding a Ball inthe town somewhere very soon.

I have to add, that despite the recent spray paint damage to Mundesley Skateboard park, the whole idea has been activelysupported by everyone in the village.

PK 

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

All thanks must go to all those good peoplewho have donated and/or purchased secondhand books from the stand in the Budgensstore in Cromer, who have just handedover another £500 cheque towards theCromer Skateboard Park appeal.

A Couple Of..............Essex hunters are out in the woodswhen one of them falls to the ground.

He doesn't seem to be breathing, hiseyes are rolled back in his head.

The other guy whips out his mobile and callsthe emergency services.

He gasps to the operator:

"My friend is dead! What can I do?" 

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says:

"Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's

make sure he's dead."  There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

The guy's voice comes back on the line.

He says: "OK, now what?" 

Thanks to Wendy Smith for this.

Common InfectionsCommon Infections In The CommunityAnd How To Deal With Them.

As we are coming up to the winter againI thought it would be useful to explain

some of the common infections thatwill be around.

I will explain each one and what sort ofsymptoms you may experience.

At the end I will show how many of theseinfections can be dealt with by simpletender loving care and without theneed for antibiotics.

Respiratory Tract Infections

• Otitis Media: This is an infection of theinside of the ear. You may experience ear pain, some uid leaking from the ear andon occasions hearing loss. This infectiontends to clear up within 4 days.

• Sinusitis: This is an infection of the air spaces   behind your nose and around your eyes.You may experience pains in the face, someuid leaking from your nose and the feelingof something going down the back of yournose to your throat. This infection can takeup to four weeks to settle down.

• Tonsillitis: This is an infection of the tonsils in your throat. You may experience a sorethroat with this infection. This tends toclear up within 7 to 10 days.

• Pharyngitis: This is an infection of thedigestive part of your throat. You mayexperience a sore throat particularlyon swallowing with this infection.

Again this infection will usuallyclear up in 7 to 10 days.

• Laryngitis: This is an infection of the breathing part of your throat. You mayexperience a sore throat with thisinfection with a loss of your voice.This infection will tend to clear upin 7 to 10 days.

• Chest infections: This is an infection of yourchest below your throat. There are a numberof different types of chest infections. You mayexperience a cough, production of phlegm orsome chest pain when breathing etc.

These infections are slightly more difcultto deal with but should settle withina 4 week period.

It is a real pain when these infections comeupon us. What makes things worse is thateach year there are new bugs that turn upto add to the problem.

 Nine times out of ten the above infectionsare caused by viruses.

Viruses are troublesome bugs because asdoctors there is absolutely nothing we can

do about them and your body has to ghtthem itself.

On the odd occasion the above infections arecaused by bacteria. These bugs do respond to antibiotics!

What makes a bacterial infection more likelyis a persistent temperature above 38 degreeswhen you are taking things like Paracetamoland Ibuprofen and also if they haven’tcleared up in the times stated above.

The best thing for all the above infectionsinitially is plenty of uids and medicationslike Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

I would like to dispel the myth out there that

antibiotics work for every infection becausethat is simply not the truth.

As doctors we have given too many outand we and you in the community needto protect the usefulness of antibioticsas we go into the future.

When making an appointment with asolicitor during ‘Make a Will Week’, please remember to mention theagreement to make a donationto the Norfolk Hospice.

Statistics state that 80 -100 in-patient beds are needed per one million of the population.

With around 300,000 people living in

 North and West Norfolk, this equatesto a need for 30 beds.

A big step forward in reaching this target will  be achieved when the Norfolk Hospice, TappingHouse completes the construction of its new

 purpose designed & built facility at Hillington,near Kings Lynn in Spring 2014.

Since 1984, the Hospice has been providing palliative care to people with cancer, neuro-logical and other life-limiting conditions,to enable them to live life to the full forwhatever time is left.

We care for over 300 people a monthat the hospice and at home.

Our care is provided without charge throughout Norfolk & the Fens and it costs £1.8 million

a year to run the Hospice.We are also able to support patients and carers  in parts of the East Cambridgeshire region.

We depend on the generosity of the community to survive: 88% of running costs are paid for by the individuals, organisations and groupswho give generously to support our vital care.

In life, nothing is certain but, with your help,we can ensure that Norfolk and the Fens hasthe nest hospice care possible, now and inthe future.

Big Switch & Save Scheme Extended North Norfolk households given more timeto save money on gas and electricity bills

People living in North Norfolk have been

given extra time to sign up for an energyscheme that could help cut their gas andelectricity bills.

 North Norfolk’s Big Switch & Save schemehas been extended until the 18th November,meaning another 10 days to join.

The rst round of the scheme was launchedin North Norfolk in March this year, with2796 households in the area registering.

70% of households providing realistic energyusage gures were able to save, 46% wereable to save more than £50 a year and23% up to £50 a year.

Those households able to save through thescheme achieved an overall average annualsaving of £126, with the highest averageannual saving of £266 for ‘dual fuel’customers opting for online billing.

It is hoped that a new Collective SwitchingTariff will be available in time for the energyauction and that this will result in a better offerfor customers switching supplier in this way. 

Anyone who missed out on the rst roundor who thinks they could make even moresavings on their gas or electricity bills, isnow able to register for a second round ofthe Big Switch and Save scheme.

 NNDC Cabinet Member for EnvironmentalServices, John Lee, said: “We all know that

gas & electricity costs are soaring and energyswitching is one way individual householdscan reduce those costs. NNDC is delightedto be able to offer a second opportunity for people in North Norfolk to register for the Big Switch & Save. Our experience in the rst round of the scheme shows that itreally can help people cut their energy costs in these difcult times.”

Residents can register online at this site:

www.bigswitchandsave.co.uk 

All you need is a bill or a statement from your  energy supplier which includes the energyyou used last year or your estimated usagefor the year ahead.

Registering is quick and easy. Up to 5 house-holds can be registered from a single emailaddress so you can help family, friends andneighbours to register if they do not havetheir own internet access.

Crazee Kidz Club 

Crazee Kidz Club is a youth club based atRoughton Village Hall and meet every 2nd& 4th Friday in the month during term timeand are open to anyone aged 6-16 years.

We started in September 2009 and since thenwe have grown in what we offer and do forthe young people of Roughton and thesurrounds villages and towns.

At the youth club we offer various activitiesranging from silly challenges like how manysmarties can you move from one bowl toanother with just a straw to crafts.

We also offer physical activities like dodge ball and stuck in the mud and many otherand we have a games consoles.

Some sessions we do team building gamesand team challenges and each session endswith a leaders challenge, when the leadersmake themselves look a bit silly by doinga silly challenge like eating cold custardor Weetabix and tomato sauce.

We also do special events like pancake races& an event, recently started, is a young meetsold where some of our members prepare andserve a meal for our older generation.

We also provide discos & a bouncy castle for  our sessions and to hire out in an effort tohelp raise funds for the running costs.

Another way in which we raise funds for isthrough our recycling schemes. At present

we run two schemes, a paper bin located atRoughton Village Hall and the other is bycollecting used ink cartridges.

We have started a mother and toddler groupin Roughton Village Hall called Little Starswhich meets every Wednesday during termtime and on the 3rd Wednesday each monththey have a lunch club.

We are currently looking to extend what wedo and have more sessions as well as startinga new group for over 11s and have a long term  plan of purchasing our building to turn it intoa youth and community Centre.

For all our future plans we are seeking morehelp as well as nances to hope us achieve

our goal. If you would like to know moreabout what we do as a group or would liketo help either in person or in any other way please feel free to get in touch with us.

With A Very...... 

........seductive voice the woman asked herhusband: “Have you ever seen TwentyDollars all crumpled up?”  

“No,” said her husband 

She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttonedthe top 3 or 4 buttons of her blouse, andslowly reached down into the cleavagecreated by a soft, silky push-up bra, and

 pulled out a crumpled Twenty Dollar bill.

He took the crumpled Twenty Dollar billfrom her and smiled approvingly.

She then asked him: “ Have you ever seen

Fifty Dollars all crumpled up?”  

“Uh... no, I haven’t,” he said, with ananxious tone in his voice.

She gave him another sexy little smile, pulledup her skirt, and seductively reached intoher tight, sheer panties... and pulled out acrumpled Fifty Dollar bill.

He took the crumpled Fifty Dollar bill,and started breathing a little quickerwith anticipation.

“Now,”  she said, “have you ever seen  $50,000 Dollars all crumpled up?”

“No way!” he said, while obviously becoming even more aroused andexcited, to which she replied:

“Go look in the garage,”  .
