Notes from Horstead with StanninghallParish Council – June
Introduction
As the June Par ish Council meeting is on the cut off day for theMarlpit, we are writing this in advance of the meeting takingplace.
If you wish to speak to us we can be contacted via the ParishCouncil website, email us at [email protected] orte lephone: 07476 952824. If you do leave a message, pleaseremember to leave your name and contact number so we canget back to you.
Horstead Mill
The canoeist's new slipway is looking good, why not go andtake a look.
The Broads Authority Maintenance Team are planning to carryout some necessary work to the pathways at the Mill in thenext few weeks. They will be refurbishing the wooden edging
boards which are rotting, and then filling in areas where thesurface is low. Access between the Mill Bridge and Lock willremain available at all times.
The Bure Navigation Conservation Trust have obtained planning
approval for an info rmation board to be placed at HorsteadLock. From what we have seen it contains historical photos anddeta ils of the river area around the Lock, including the Lock-Keepers cottage. We look forward to it being insta lled over thesum mer.
Playground
We would like to remind people tha t dogs are not allowed onthe playground. According to ROSPA - Dogs on children's
playgrounds represent a major health and injury hazard:Children and young adults can contract Toxocariasis, a rareinfection caused by roundworm parasites, most commonlyfound in cats , dogs and foxes faeces . This is often due tocontac t with contaminated soil or sand within play areas byswallowing the in fected egg.
Highways
The Highway Rangers will be visiting again in the next threemonths – we have jus t submitted another report deta iling the
various potholes and other concerns we are aware of aroundthe vil lage. We do see action being taken as a result of thesereports , but as you are well aware, new potholes appear andtrees /hedges continue to grow – and Highways have a budgetto work within. While we are aware work has been ca rried outin Patr icia Avenue in the last couple of weeks, we will be asking
Highways if further improvements can be made. If you do spotany new issues concerning the state of the roads and footpa thsaround the village, please let us know.
Tarm ac
Mrs Gurney attended the May lia ison meeting with Tarmac.They are planning a no rthe rn extension to the quarry. Deta ils
will be available from mid-June, and there wil l be a 6 weekwindow in which any comments can be submitted. This will bediscussed at the July Parish Council meeting. If you would likefurther details please let us know.
In other news, Tarmac reported the road outside the Quarry isbeing kept clean as a new machine is improving the quality ofwork.
Road Safety
The SAM2 is back in the Parish after its two month ho lidayacross the Bure! It has spent four weeks collecting the data ofvehic les leaving the village and has now moved to its brandnew home the other side of Norwich Road (B1150) and is
spending four weeks collecting data of traffic coming into thevillage. An initial like for like com par ison of the data before andafter the opening of the Broadland Northway (NDR) indicatesan increase in traffic and a very slight increase in the 85%percentile speed to 35.8 mph. The morning peak traffic flowhas changed from 8am to 9am to 6am to 7am. As we gathermore data over the year we will be able to carry out further
ana lysis to gain a better ins ight into traffic volumes and speedsand working in collaboration with Coltishall we aim to presentthe in formation the Local Authority and Norfolk Constabulary.
Afte r the Norfolk wide ‘Impact Day ’ in May our Speed watch
team has been in action again and a number of offenders havebeen re corded. It is worth noting they can only record thedeta ils of vehicles travelling at 35 mph and over. However, theyalso record the details of motorists who are abusive to thevolunteers, those motorists then get their own personal visit bythe police , so please spread the word, don’t give the volunteers
the ‘bird ’ and shout abuse at them!
Finally, if anyone fee ls like contributing something to thecommunity please consider becoming a Speed watch volunteer;it’s not an onerous task and only takes up just over an hour amonth. Please get in touch with us if you are in teres ted.

Highways Severa l potholes on Frogge Lane and Grea t Hautbo isRoad have been reported to Norfolk Highways. Highways hasconfirmed clea rance of mud from Seven Acre s Lane andclearance of drains at various points around the village. Anyfurther issues with potholes , road signs, standing wa ter etc. onroads should be reported to [email protected] or via theNorfolk Highways webs ite athttps://apps.norfolk.gov.uk/HighwaysDefect/
Speedwa tch/SAM2 The Speedwatch team continues tooperate on a weekly basis across Co ltishall and Horstead.Between 5 and 15 vehicles are regular ly recorded as travelling6-15mph above the speed limits. Police enforcement continueson a regular bas is.
Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) New opening and c losingtimes are in force for the MUGA (Summer 9am to 8pm/Dusk(whichever earlier); Winter 9am to Dusk). Additional measuresto reduce the risk of balls going over neighbouring propertiesand to reduce noise levels are under investigation.
Finance The Council considered a report from its InternalAudito r, noting a requirement to update its Standing Orders and
Financial Regulations to take account of new online bankingprocedures and recent updates to legis lation. The Council alsoapproved its financia l risk assessment.
Planning The Council considered a number of planningapplications. There is particular concern about the BroadsAuthority's proposal to lift Ar ticle 4 protection from the meadowby Anchor Street. The Council find it difficult to see the logic tothis - which would remove the requirement to seek planningpermiss ion for use as a caravan site. This proposal is open forconsultation until 20 June. The Council has been informed thatthe Broads Authority have received objections to this proposal,on the grounds that Article 4 is not being l ifted from similarsites, and that they may be misinformed about access routes tothe site. The council has been advised that it is high unlikely th isproposal will go ahead.
Correspondenc e The Council was pleased to support BureNavigation Conservation Trust in its des ire to place informationboards along the Bure River Path . The Council has providedinformation to the Highways Ranger (as above) with regard tocurrent issues.

The Council alsoestablished a small group to begin to consider the process forre-tendering its main grass and hedge cutting service as the 4-year contrac t expires at the end of the year. This is a legalrequirement and no reflec tion on its current supplier.
School gateway onto Playing Fields The Council hadrece ived a request from the Primary School for a vehicularaccess gateway onto the playing fields for emergency vehicleuse and to provide easier movement of people for school eventson the field.

April Edition Re: WW1
remembrance.I see in the Apr il edition of the Marlpit
that you are going for colour, and attimes extra pages hopeful these mayinclude more about the villages from thepast we hear a lot about the bigcompany’s like Roys, not so much about
the smaller company ’s but you can onlyget better as time goes on. i also saw inthe Co ltishall parish council info sti ll inApril about the remembrance when theysay that th is yea r will be the centenary of
the end o f the first world war [the greatwar ] but they should know that is notthe case . what in fact it is the start of theend it is the centenary of the armisticewhich is a truce, cease fire, a suspension
of hostilities and the end of the war didnot happen for a few months later after anumber of peace treaty’s were signed thelas t one on 28 June 1919 thus ending thefirst world war i look forward to read ing
the council, or the Royal Br itish Legionreply. Keep up with the good work of theMarlpit

I think there are at least four or five
schools of thought on this one:
1) (Mine , and p robably most people'sincluding the Royal Br itish Legion and UK
gove rnment ) The war ended on11/11/1918 because (de facto) peoplestopped fighting each other that day.
2) The war ended on 28th June 1919because (de juris) the Treaty of Versailleswas signed that day.
3) The war ended on 10th January 1920
because (de juris) the Treaty of Versaillescame into force that day. Incidentally, itwas (probably) first breached by Franceand Belgium on 8th March 1921 whenthey occupied Duisburg and Duesseldorf
(where I used to live and where tha t dateis stil l part of local histor y).
4) The war ended on 8th May 1945 b I
think there are at least four o r fiveschools of thought on this one:

4) The war ended on 8th May 1945
because (de facto ) the Treaty of Versailleswas never really accepted orimplemented by all parties and this wasthe day Germany finally surrendered.
5) The war ended on 2nd September1945 because (de facto) that is when theJapanese also surrendered bringing the30+ years of global destruction to atemporary halt.
In this instance the Par ish Council wasfollowing the lea d of the Royal Br itishLegion nationally, which ( I quote) "is
marking the centenary of the First WorldWar (2014 to 2018) withcommemorations in the UK and Republicof Ireland with a focus on Remembrance,
education and legacy" and "Theprogramme wil l run over the four year s ofthe commemorations and establish alegacy by November 2018, the Centenary
of the end o f the First World War". Asthe uniting community focus of theCentenary event is the lighting of beaconsacross the country, it is important tha t wego with the consensus view. We lawyers
and historians may wish to light thebeacon again on 28/6/19 or 10/1/20 but Isuspect the turnout wil l be somewhathigher on 11/11/2018! Ultimately, thesentiment is what matters: remember
those who died, why they died andensure we don't do it again. Sadly, it is alltoo timely to repeat those sentiments inthe hope people may actually listenbecause (de juris) the Treaty of Versailles
came into force that day. Incidentally, itwas (probably) first breached by Franceand Belgium on 8th March 1921 whenthey occupied Duisburg and Duesseldorf(where I used to live and where tha t date

Re NFTBT June Marlpit .
It seems far too long since I put pen to
paper for the Marlpit, but having just readthe NFTBT from the ringing team I felt Imust say a very big heart felt thank youfor such kind words.
We retired to Coltishall 1998 and Iremember Margaret Riley saying "Jus ttake your time deciding what you wouldlike to do and Hey Presto Harvey
Meadows put a note in The Marlpit askingfor beginners to lea rn to ring for themillennium. We both wanted to beinvolved with a community project andthis seemed just right, having social
activities , exercise, as well as keeping theold g rey cells working learn ing newmethods to ring.
Over the las t 20yrs of ringing for so manygreat events , too many to mention, wehave thoroughly enjoyed be ing invo lvedin such a worthwhile activity which servesthe whole community, and as the yea rs
went by we thought how great it wouldbe to become a happy relaxed learn ingtower, where ringers could come alongand feel there was a team of experiencedringers only too pleased to guide them
along the way. So we were delighted tobe able to bow out gracefully and handover the reins to such a fanta stic team,thank you so very much.
So, as we approach our 83rd Birthday,along with a Diamond Weddingcelebration, (we were married at St.John's way back in 1958) and believe it or
not Ma rgaret Riley and her uncle Billy weused to call him, rang the bells as wewalked back down the aisle, little did wethink we would be back living in Coltishallin 60 yrs . time!!
I have so many memories from mychildhood, being sent with my sister Joan,to spend a few weeks with my
grandmother Gertrude Rout, every sooften to avoid the Blitz dur ing the 2ndWorld War, in London, I could write abook! but back to 2018 and we wouldboth like to say how very satisfying it has
been over the past years to have felt verymuch pa rt of the community in Coltishall,and hopefully we will continue to be ableto lend a hand where ever possible in thefuture whatever may come along. So
carry on R inging those Be lls at St. John'sas we wil l certainly be listening for themwith such happy memories as we retirefor the second time.
Audrey & Tony xxx
Since last season finished,instead of being a relaxingperiod, it has been allchange! Our 1st team management
team of last season were poached byLowestoft Town and we have promotedJordan Southgate who was previouslymanaging the reserves to be assisted byNorwich City legend Adam Drury whowants to get into management. Both areUEFA B coaching licence holders . There
was certainly a lot of interest in theappointments on our Twitte r feed. We wishthem both well and hopefully they will getoff to a good start. With Jordan Southgatestepping up, Mark Roe who successfully led the U18’s to the East Divisionchampionship will now take on the Reserves . Inevitably the re will be changes in the
playing personnel and we already know of 4 players who have been enticed away byformer managers but tha t seems to be the way things are these days. Southgate &Drury have been busy signing young players from within the club already and addedIsaac Burrage who played success fully with Gorleston las t season and was a memberof the Norfolk County Youth squad who won the Na tional County Youth Cup. He willjoin Arch ie Galley & Ryan Miles who also played for the County last season.
Cha irman Lee Robson has worked wonders to set up a youth structure which we havenever had before. We now have junio r teams from –7’s to –12’s under the Wroxhamname who tra in at Rackheath on Saturday mornings. They have been entered into theNorfolk Combined Youth League. We sti ll need a manager for the –7’s and a sponsor
for the –9’s. Any offers please contac t Lee on 07967 479484
We also have –15 and –16 teams who will play in the Eastern Junior All iance youthleague which is a very good s tandard.
The club AGM takes place on Thursday 5th July in the clubhouse. We urgently needmore Committee members and match day helpers. P lease attend if you can help inany way. Also we sti ll need sponsors and invite anyone who may be interested insupporting the club to contact Commercial Manager Liam Brydon on 07827 998103 orCynthia Feltham on 783869.
We have been approached by mobile phone infras tructure provider, Shared Accesswho are applying to Broadland Council for a mast to be used by EE princ ipally toprovide service in a black spot on the Bittern line but also for wider improved servicein the area. They intend to swap out one of our floodlight columns.

father ’s death that September.

Concerts feature premiere of new work
On the 6th and 7th of July North Norfolk Chorale will present itssummer concert programme at venues in north and mid Norfolk.The concerts will take place as follows:
���Friday 6th July 2018 at 7.00 pm in St Nicholas ’
Church, Blakeney, NR25 7UE
���Saturday 7th July 2018 at 7.00 pm in St Mary’sChurch, North Elmham, NR20 5JU.
A highlight will be the premiere of a new work – “The Fox That
Walked On Water” by Nick Morris, with l ibretto by Merr ily Harpur.
The programme will also feature a programme of lighter choral
and solo works by composers working in ear ly 20th CenturyEngland, including pieces by Percy Grainger, John Ireland andIvor Gurney. All were relative ly prolific song composers with
contrasting styles, ranging from Grainger’s meticu lousreproduction of folk idiom to Gurney’s intensely interpretativeapproach.
Tickets can be purchased (including early booking discount) at£10.00 each on line at north-norfolk-chorale.co.uk , or by calling01692 405591. There is a small fee for online bookings. Ticketsmay also be purchased on the door.
Jonathan Dodd, the Musical Director of the North NorfolkChora le, said “we are tremendously excited to be able to bringnew music to North Norfolk, and it is doubly exc iting to sing in
areas where the Chorale either not performed before, or hasn’tsung at for a long time.
North Norfolk Chorale is a Registered Cha rity (No 1128746). The
charity’s object is to advance the education of the public in thePerforming Arts and Chora l Music in all its aspects by thepresentation of pub lic concerts and rec itals.
The Chorale is widening the areas in which it performs to inc ludevenues in most parts of Norfolk. Its traditional catchments inNorth Norfolk and Broadland includes a number of areas ofparticu lar social deprivation.
North Norfolk Chorale is a mixed-ability, non-auditioned choir,open to anyone who wishes to sing. At present the Chorale isparticu larly interesting in recruiting more members in all parts,
but tenors and ba sses would be particularly welcome. Itrehearses weekly on Wednesday evenings, usually starting at7.30 p.m. in North Walsham Methodist Church.
Over the last couple of months the Parish Council have beenapproached by several concerned Par ishioners about apparentlydangerous and/or intrusive trees and hedges. With this in
mind it was deemed prudent to public ise some signposts toguidance concerning Trees and the law alongside someadditional gu idance from Broadland District Council and theBroads Authority.
The Arboricultural Association haveproduced an excellent leaflet on this topicand it can be found at:
https://www.trees.org.uk/Trees.org.uk/med
ia/Trees-org.uk/Documents /Gu ideToTreesAndTheLaw-Web.pdf
Remember our Parish is unique as it not
only contains a conservation area but is also subject toplanning regulations by two different organisations; the BroadsAuthority and Broadland Distr ict Council depending on whereyour property and/or trees are located, this has to be takeninto consideration and requirements checked at the ir respectivewebsite s:
http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk andhttps://www.broadland.gov.uk
If you are concerned about trees and/or hedges on your own
property or elsewhere in the Par ish you will find the above ofuse.

Smishing – the term used for SMS phish ing – yet another verbin the fraudster ’s vocabulary - is an activity which enablescriminals to stea l victims’ money or identity, or both, as a resultof a response to a text message. Smishing uses your mobilephone (eithe r a smartphone or traditional non-in ternet
connected handset) to manipulate innocent people in to takingvarious actions which can lead to being defrauded.
The National Fraud Intell igence Bureau has rece ivedinformation that fraudsters are targeting victims via text
message, purporting to be from the ir credit card p rovider, stating a transaction has been approved on their credit card.
The text message further states to confirm if the transaction is genuine by replying ‘Y’ for Yes or ‘N’ for No.
Through this method the fraudster would receive confirmation o f the victim’s active telephone number and would be able to engagefurther by asking for the victim’s credit card details, CVV number (the three digits on the back of your bank card) and/or otherpersonal information.
Be aware, too that if you were unfortunate enough to have been caught up in the TSB computer fiasco and were locked of your
account, the fraudste rs have been exploiting that too. Since the start of May, 321 reports of TSB related phish ing were made toAction Fraud. This is an increase of 970% on the previous month. In the same reporting period, there we re 51 reports ofcybercrime to Action Fraud which mention TSB – an increase of 112% on the previous month.
Protect yourself: Always check the valid ity of the text message by contacting your credit card provide r through the numberprovided at the back of the card or on the credit card/bank statement.
Beware of cold calls purporting to be from banks and/or credit card providers .
If the phone call from the bank seems suspicious, hang up the phone and wait fo r 10 minutes before call ing thebank back. Again, refer to the number at the back of the card or on the bank statement in order to contactyour bank.
If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, please report it to Action Fraud athttp://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ or alternatively by calling 0300 123 2040

Their Finest Hour and a Half
by
Lissa Evans
Some books are written that are blatantly screaming to bemade into a film, and this is one of them ! Anyone who likesread ing books for the love of their ‘purely bookish essence’
would be wasting their time with th is one. Mind you, it has itsstrengths and was enjoyable to read to an extent, but I fe ltlike I was driving down the wrong side of the road the wholetime.
One of the things that I rea lly enjoyed about the book wasthat there were no ‘leading character s’. All the charac tersplayed an equal role in the book. Their Finest Hour and a Halfhas been made into a film - Their Finest. The film focuses onthe femin ine side of the story.
The sto ry takes place during World War II and is quiterefreshing as it comes from an entirely different angle - that ofthe propaganda industry churned out by the government. Ittakes a while for the plo t to get going, but after it does, onecan see why all of what came before was inc luded. Imagine afull length propaganda film about the evacuation o f the Allied
troops from Dunkirk, Fr ance. In today’s eyes we see dramaticscenes, deep music and tension.
Now imagine the same film, funded on a shoestring, using non
acto rs and a mediocre hasbeen, a dog that doesn’t coopera teon the set, the government having its nose in every step and atight schedule. Somehow it manages to be completed and theresponse to it wil l make you smile. There is drama andcomedy in the book and at the most unlikely times. Thecharac ters grow and absolutely becom e their finest - whateverthat may be. So if you don’t mind that the book is written in a
quirky manner, why not have a go?

Several members visitedSheringham Little Theatre on26th May to enjoy a matineeperformance of “Allo Allo” and on6th June members undertook a
walk around Spixworth to raisefunds for the AssociatedCountrywomen of the Worldwhich is the in ternational charitysupported by the WI movement.
On a national level WI delegatesoverwhelming ly voted for thefollowing reso lution at the Annual
WI Na tional Conference which was held in Cardiff on 6 th June:“Menta l health matters as much as physica l health - the NFWI urgesall WI members to recognise the importance of parity between menta l
hea lth and phys ical health, and take action to make it as acceptable tota lk about mental health issues as much as physical health issues, andto lobby government for better support for mental illness .” Themandate was therefore adopted.
Our speaker in June was Margaret Brooker with the top ic, “FromFleece to Fibre” and in Ju ly Juyna Lewis is going to enlighten us about“A Korean Wedding”.
Our branch meets in The Church Room, Rectory Road, Coltishall, on
the th ird Wednesday of the month at 7.30 pm.

The smile says it all!On Saturday, May 5th theNorfolk Megafina l of the UKChess Challenge tookplace. Young DannyDawson (pictured) fromBCC became the Under 7boys Supremo which
means tha t he alsoqualifies for the Gigafinal tobe held later in the yea r!There is no need to sayanymore on how Dannyfeels about his award and
his cup -I think tha t theexpression on h is face
sum s it up. This has to be one of the photos of the year !Other club successes in the competition were BenjiePerry, U-10 boys -s ilver medal and qualifier for thegiga final, Darcy Pashley, U-11 gir ls -silver and qualif ier,
Jack Hall, U-11 boys -silver and qualif ier, Joshua Dawson,U-11 boys, bronze and qualif ier, Benedict Ward U-12 boys– silver and qualif ier, Ewan Pa shley U-13 boys bronzemeda l. Many congratulations to all of our youngmembers; lovely to see siblings in the group as well! Justto show what an achie vement this is the re were in itially40,000+ entrants for the competition from all over the
UK!
The BCC team have safely won the Norfolk section of theNorfolk and Suffolk Cup and now await to see who theiropponents will be from the Suffolk side as their matches
are sti ll to completed. They have also retained the NorfolkChess League Divis ion 1 title after defea ting the Norfolkand Norwich B team 4-0. A couple of good wins there forthe club! C lub player Stephen Pullinger dese rves specia lmention for topping the individual leader board forDivision 1 with an impress ive record of 80%.
As reported las t month the Broadland Mallards (Ca llumFruish, Sophia Needham, David Elsey and Matthew Watts )won the newly formed Friendly League 2018 and thesecond p icture shows the team with their trophy
interestingly titled the Stitchbury Shield ! I am sure thatthere must be a sto ry behind that, perhaps I shall put onmy detective’s hat and get to the bottom of it before theend of the summer. The response to this new competitionhas been extremely positive and we look forward torunning it again next season.
In the ind ividual club competitions, al l matches are nowcompleted for the Club Championship title – apart fromone. Ken McEwan and Roy Hughes are currently level onpoints and still to play each other. This match is alwaysinteresting as it often takes place in my dining room, this
means tha t both the dog and I have to remain qu iet at alltimes and hope tha t the phone does not ring! (Yes th isdid happen last yea r!) Paul Coppard is currently leadingthe BCC Challengers title but as there are sti ll severalgames outstanding this title is too close to call.
Broadland Chess Club meets at the K ings Head,Coltishall Monday and Wednesday evenings a t19.30. Although we will be taking our summer
break from the end of June.
We always welcome new members and visito rs, howeverit is often best to contact us first so that we can meet andgreet you, if you would like further in formation thenplease see our Facebook and Twitter pages, or contact usvia email at [email protected].

News from Broadland DistrictCouncilJuly 2018
As you are probably aware
Council lor Andrew Proctor has
been appointed as Leader of
Norfolk County Council, and has
subsequently resigned as Leader
of Broadland Distr ict Council.
Andrew has been a popular
Leader with both Members &
Staff, and has served an eight
year term at Broadland, which
has been ra ted as one of the best per forming councils in the
country, and I’m sure Andrew will continue his success at
County.
I mentioned in las t month’s report, that Norfolk County Council
is holding a public consultation between 8th May to 3rd July
2018, in respect of the proposed Norwich Western Link Road.
Broadland Distr ict Council strongly supports the Norwich
Western Link and r ecognises the important benefits it could
bring. Namely, better access to employment areas, shortening
journey times, reducing congestion as well as encouraging
investm ent, and boosting the local economy. I believe without
this ‘m issing link’, the rural areas to the no rth and west of
Norwich could be disadvantaged. If you wish to make a
representation, there is a short survey which can be completed
online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl
The Economic Success Panel had a presentation from the
Manager for ‘Better Broadband for Norfolk’. There is £49 mill ion
of public sector investment up to March 2020, when coverage
of 95% will be achieved. Several factors affect Broadband
speeds to customers, and this is mainly related to Internet
Service Providers and individual contracts. The main
infras tructure provider, BT Openreach, is now moving to ensure
that all new housing developments benefit from fibre
insta llation, as retrofitting homes is very costly. The proposals
for the remaining final 5% of area no t covered by the current
programme, inc lude funding from DEFRA or utilis ing rebates
based on h igher than expected levels of take up.
Please do not hes ita te to contact me with any concerns you
may have, I am only too happy to help.

give you a brief introduction to who
I am. I am a retired warehousesupervisor who worked in Tilbury dock Essex until I retired

charity to which 50% of the proceeds from the Prec inct Tombolaare donated. The remainder goes into our genera l Char ity Fund.
My charity is a new dementia fr iendly cafe which opened at the

Snakes and AddersWe are fortunate in Norfolk to havea great divers ity of wildlife on ourdoorstep. As Spring warms up theanimal activity increases and we
see abundance of animals andinsects that have been dormantover the winter. This is also thetime of yea r tha t snakes, such asadders, come out of hibernation
and start to bask in the
sun, whilst these animalsare very beautiful they canpose a dead ly threa t toyour pet.
Adders are not aggress ive
animals but wil l bite if theyhave no other option; thisis often the case whenthey are trodden on asthey have no means ofescape and therefore will
bite their assailant. This isnot good news for yourfurry friend, and o ften happens completely by accident, asa dog can be unaware tha t they have trodden on an adderuntil it is too late.
So… what should you do if your dog is unfo rtunate enoughto be bitten? Phone your local vet immediate ly as earlytreatment will reduce the risk of serious infection, organfailure and sometimes death. With our proximity toheathlands and sand dunes we carry a stock of anti-
venom at our practice. We have already needed this 3times in the las t month and it has helped to save all of thepatients we have treated this year.
The symptoms of an adder bite are two puncture woundswhere the teeth have penetrated the skin, a ma rked
swelling, typically on the face or legs which can be dark incolour. Dogs may also seem letha rgic , drool excessivelyand have vomiting or diarrhoea.
There are ways to protect your dogs, try to avoid walking in
open heathlands/sand dunes in the spring months as thesnakes are emerging from hibernation and more likely tobite. Whilst you are walking scan the surrounding area forany sign o f a snakes and consider keeping dogs on a lead ifyou do walk in these areas. We see a marked increase insnake bite inc idents during the months of April/ May and
aga in in September /October when they become lethargicaga in.
Remember, if you are concernedand think your dog may have beenbitten by an adder, ac t fast and ca ll
your vet immediately.

Aswinners of the Men's Cup The Dardanite s were awarded the Jil lHambling Cup and now go forward to the regional play offs of theEngland Rugby Secure Trading 24/Seven series in Birmingham.This is a qualifying event for the national finals being held on 29July at the Recreation Ground, the home of Premiership s ide Bath.
"Pleas ing at times, frustrating at others" was departing Head ofRugby James Brooks' verd ict on the Vikings' season. They showedthey could compete with the League's best, but struggledsometimes to overcome weaker sides. They rare ly looked likeachieving 2016 -17's top four finish, dropping to sixth with five
fewer wins. Injuries to a small squad we re a much bigger problemthan last season and the quality of the League had risen.Brentwood and Chingford were outs tanding, and mid table teamslike Fullerians and P riorians had improved significantly.Throughout the season the commitment and p ride of the playerswas a constant and they put in some outs tanding performances
often against bigger sides. "They are a tight but welcoming g roupthat easily assimilates newcomers and works hard to improve,"saidBrooks."It's ayoungsquad
which willblos som inthe yea rsahead."
Fifty Girlsfrom fourHighSchoolsrecentlyenjoyed a

GP Dr. David Willits talkedabout the NHS70 yea rs after the formation of the Na tionalHealth Service it is difficu lt to remem ber thedram atic changes that have taken p lace in the
service none more so than in General Practice.
These changes were highlighted by retired GP Dr.David Will its in his excellent ta lk to the Maymeeting of the Probus Club o f Broadland when hedescribed his ea rly career in Ilkes ton and
Silesden,Yorkshire . With several humorousanecdote s, he described that in the sixties GPsurgeries had no support staff , that he heldthree surgeries per day and was on call even atnight. Further doctors were not allowed to takeleave unless a locum could be provided.
GPs had to refer all X-rays and b lood tests to thelocal hospital and there were no repeatprescr iptions. At first in the cramped conditions ofa divided single room split into waiting and
consulting rooms with little privacy, the patientshad to sit on the examina tion bed until a chairwas later provided. All records were hand writtenand sto red in box files.
It is to the credit of Dr Will its that he introduced
many improvements in his surgery before in 1974taking up a position in Norfolk, but that as hestated was another story.
The Probus Club of Broadland is a fellowship of
retired or semi-retired businessmen andprofessionals. We meet for lunch in Coltishall onthe last Wednesday of the month and are alwayspleased to welcom e new members. For furtherinformation contact our secretary;

Sisters here – revivingtheir family history
Take a walk round our parish and you wil l meet people, sayhello, get chatting. And often who you talk to will be
interesting, delighted to be here, keen to know more of ourpar ish and its people. And with their own h istory here.
Classic case: Three daughters, from Hants , Warwicks andScotland here catching up on the past, setting and work of their
great grand-father Walter Fiddy who used to bu ild wherr ies at
Allen’s boatyard on Anchor Street late in the 19th century andearly in the 1900s. Its believed he was marr ied to a Sarah Pye .
The daughters were given The Marlpit magaz ine for some localinformation and colour – we met near Anchor Street where theyhad been catching up on h istory including about members of theWicks fam ily – the females well known as “some of the mostbeautiful of ladies.”
Pictured here are le ft to right Elizabeth, Jeanette and Yvonne.They had enjoyed a day on a boat on the Broads, then moretime visiting Co ltishall – and vowed to be back for more of theirfamily’s histo ry.
If you are a Fiddy or Wicks, part of the ladies ’ history, relationswith them , have inform ation that can help their quest as above,please Email or phone me (details on P3 and inside back cover)with information and once again, The Mar lpit will tr y to help its
readers , and in this case visitors to the area with knowledge andheart for the region, trying to find out more.
And, even if Elizabeth, Jeanette and Yvonne are not re lated toyou – remember we Ed ito rs of The Mar lpit are always trying tohelp you readers – so if you have a question about this area,

Gardening Tips for JULY
In my garden there is sti ll plenty of colour. Foxgloves , day lil ies, perennial geraniums, hebes, weigelas ,
philodelphus, as well as roses .
● Whether you have planted trees, shrubs, perennia ls or summer bedding they should all be doing qu ite nicely.
● But with your baskets, tubs or any other containers they need feeding and wa tering regularly.
● Keep hoeing through your borders and dig out any remaining deep rooted weeds.
● I don’t know about you, but my hedges have rea lly grown, especially at the beginning of June. If you have not already
tr immed your hedges, now is the time to do beech, lonicera nitida, privet and ho rnbeam. Just check that there are no birds
sti ll nesting.
● Keep dead head ing roses, bedding and perennia ls. Divide old clumps of bearded irises . Replant the young rhizomes and
reduce the foliage by half.
● Keep mowing your lawns. If they are s lowing up through drought, raise the height of the cutting blade slightly.
● In the veg plot keep p icking peas & broad beans and lift potatoes. Keep sowing sa lads in small rows as we ll as carro ts.
Water squashes and courgettes well, also runner and French beans.
● In the greenhouse shade plants, provide ventila tion and take out side shoots on your tomatoes, if they are not bush
varieties, and feed weekly.
● Keep your pond topped up, clean filters and feed fish re gularly.
Visit gardens, get new ideas, ta lk to fellow gardeners and enjoy your garden.

Report by Peter Milsted
Since last month’s News things have been very quiet in thetower, except, of course , for the sound of our bells at practiceand for services! But we do have the good news tha t our threenew learners, Maureen, Linda and Neil, have now reached the
stage of being able to r ing their bells at both hand andbackstrokes without their teacher helping them - just like realringers said one! All three have now joined the Lea rning theRopes Scheme (LtR) of the Association of Ringing Teachers – a'first' for Coltishall lea rners in this new way of assisting newrecruits with their skil ls and in helping them to track the ir
learning progress against best practice guide lines. LtRmembership is a structured progression so new re cruits knowthat they are being taught in the way that considerable researchhas shown to be most effective. Mike Gander, the tower ’sRinging Master is a member of the Association o f R ingingTeachers and believes tha t the clear guidelines will enable any
new entrants to this challenging and beneficial hobby to learnquickly and safely, joining a centur ies-old tradition and enjoyingthemselves at the same time!
NOW, DEAR READ ERS OF NFTBT, HOW ABOUT YOU?
Can we tempt you to join us in our hobby? The only hobby that
pays YOU to join in? (We’ll explain if you com e and see us onthe 27th!
If you are at all intrigued make a note in your diary or yourcalendar of August Ba nk Holiday Monday (27th) when we
shall be holding a joint OPEN AND TOWER TOUR DAY andTABLE SALE with tea and cakes and an opportunity to have apersonal (and private) ‘TASTER SESSION’ when anyone can‘have a go’ at ringing one of our church bells for real. There ’llbe demonstrations of ringing and what happens in the towerand an opportunity to climb to the tower’s roof with yourcamera with plenty of chances to ask us what it’s all about.
Who knows, you might get hooked!
And if you can’t wait till the 27th come and see us any Mondayevening at our Practice Night from 7.30 pm onwards.
This Juvenile House Sparrow is

FROM THE REVEREND
CHRISTOPHER ENGELSEN
All of us have journeys that are memorable or special to us-it might have been to a faraway place onholiday, or a few days on our love ly Norfolk coast. Some will have memories of journeys serving in theforces, or long d rives connected with work. Some might have taken time to trave l and meet new people
and new places on a student gap yea r, or done volunteering abroad to help others .
Everyone is on a journey through life- as we discover more about ourselves, those around us, and about our
soul…about faith…and even about God. This journey of life is just as real as any other journey- it is a pilgrimage.
Some of you may have seen the BBC TV program tracking the pilgrimage across northern Spain, the Camino de
Santiago (the Way of St James) with actor Neil Morrisey, The Rev Kate Bottley (she of Goggle Box fame), Debbie
MaGee (widow of Paul Daniels,) and other.
They travelled the ancient pilgrim path to Compostela, and on this long and challenging road, they explored what
really mattered to them in life and in what they believed. The members of the group ranged from an atheist (Ed
Byrne) through to those still working out what their faith was, to the Rev Kate-who also said she was still discovering
what faith in God meant to her. All of them were caught up in this pilgrimage.
I invite all who are interested- whether you have a definite faith or still
working it out – to join together as fellow pilgrims. We will meet as a
group to explore the Christian faith, to enjoy one another’s company,
and to make some actual pilgrimages to local holy places, such as the
Cathedral or Walsingham. We will follow a course called PILGRIM -
but also give time talk and go on pilgrimage. There will be am
introductory meeting to find out more on Wednesday 18th July
7.30pm at The Rectory, Coltishall. Just come along, or if you wish
contact me for further details. This is open to all-non church goers- church goers- just bring an open mind and a heart hungry for more.

“I live here but my property is in Trust” (how clever am I!)
There have been many promi nent adverts appearing in newspapers and m agaz ines of late encouraging people to place the ownership of the irhom e into a “Propert y Protect ion Trust” so that i t fal ls out of the reach of the Loca l Council for ca re costs funding assessment. D oing this m eansthat you no longer are the le gal owner of the home. Instead a Trust is crea ted and the ownership is passed to i t.
I have read these adverts wi th care, searching for 3 key words “Del ibera te Asset Deprivation.” If I were being encouraged to spend rather a lot ofmoney placing m y home into Trust, I’d invest a little bit of time first and understand how Norfolk County Council (NCC) would view thedisposal . In fact , why not call them on 0344 800 8020.
If you, or some one cl ose to you, are in a position of having a Fina ncia l Assessment wi th a m ember of staff from NCC, be prepared to have
answers to their questions. Perhaps one of the obvious questions that m ay be raised is “D o you own your hom e?” If you reply “No” then the nextquestion is likely to be “w ho does own i t?” NCC and a ll other Local Councils are perfectly wi thin their rights to look back in time to establishwhether or not you have given away assets (including your home) and to then ask the million dollar question “why did you do i t?” It follows thatyou will need to com e up wi th a plausible reason that holds wa ter.
Those firms that promote the gifting of property into Trust should always supply you with a written report which, amongst othe r things, should
spel l out exact ly what your motive(s) were for taking the act ion in the first place. In the vast majority of cases that I have c ome ac ross, the onlymotive wa s to “stop the c ouncil from being able to cla im m y home” but sure enough, the typed report states a variety of other spurious reasons.
Council employees aren’t stupid. They know what to look for and wi ll be very fam iliar with the sales patter of most firms that prom ote this kindof planning. They wi ll challenge you if they fee l that any disposal of wea lth was done del ibera tely with the intent to deprive them of their right to
include the a sset in means tested a ssessments. Plenty of case law can be found in this area .
So the simple message is BE CAREFUL. Don’t get sucked into slick sales ta lk or expensive glossy brochures handed out at sem inars in hotelconference room s. Go along and li sten by all means. But do take t ime to unders tand the meaning behind those 3 key words. And if your motivefor placing your home into a Trust is (or was) to prevent NCC from cla iming it, then make sure that you have the evidence to back up another,more credible reason.
It’s al l down to your position at the t ime of making the disposal. Some people think that as long a s 7 years has pa ssed then NCC can’t challenge apast act ion. Not so. The 7 year rule rela tes to Inheri tance Tax planning, not Care Cost planning.
I very much hope that this article is of som e interest (and value) to you. Do cal l me if you would like to discuss your own situa tion. This shortarticle in no way should be taken by readers as advice.
