ASPIRING YOUNG CYCLIST IS GIVEN
SUPPORT BY COUNCIL
North Norfolk District Council is supporting a local talented 16-year old to help reach her goal of becoming a professional cyclist.
Isla Rush, from Holt, competes in Track, Road and Time Trials cycling. She already has an impressive portfolio of accolades under her belt and
is currently ranked 10th in the country of her age group (Youth A girls). NNDC and Place for People are supporting Isla’s training by giving her
free use of the gym and pool at Splash Leisure and Fitness Centre.
Tom FitzPatrick, Leader for North Norfolk District Council said:
“The council is committed to showing strong support for athletes in
the local community to help them reach their potential. I have been
active in sport as a competitor, coach and official and believe it is
an ideal way for young people to make the most of their abilities.”
Isla’s accolades have included representing the Eastern Region
twice at the UK School Games (Road inter-regionals 2013, Track
inter-regionals 2014), as well as cycling for the Eastern Region at
Road inter-regionals. She also holds titles of being the 2013 U14
Girls National Circuit, 25 Mile and Hill Climb Champion.
Glyn Williams, NNDC’s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Cultural
Services added: “The Olympics in 2012 provided a wonderful
opportunity to boost aspiring athletes and for everyone to
participate in sport across the country. It is important we champion
local future stars such as Isla and help in any way we can to support
her aspirations to become a top level cyclist.”
Isla said: “I really want to thank the council and Place for People
for allowing me free access to train at Splash. My training is
invaluable to my performance. I started off doing triathlons
and competitive swimming before I started cycling, I currently
ride for a team called WyndyMilla. My goal at the moment is
to race in Belgium in the Spring. In the future I would love to
be a professional cyclist living in Europe and racing for a pro
continental team.”

PUPILS PUT ON A FUNNY FACE FOR RED NOSE DAY
Pupils at Gresham’s Nursery and Pre-Prep School put on a funny face on Friday 13th March and helped raise £175.00 for
Comic Relief.
The children were invited to come
to school in home clothes to raise money for Red
Nose Day, and to wear something red with the option
of making their face look funny. There were some
brilliant outfits and some
very funny faces on
display around the School.
As well as being a fun
day for the children, they
helped raise money for a
very worthwhile cause.
A big thank you to all the
children, parents and staff
who contributed.

THE MINNI HOUSE CLUB,
NORTH NORFOLK
NW
The Minnihouse Club was formed in September
1995 when the original Norfolk Club split into
two, The Norwich Dolls House Club and the
Minni House Club. It was hoped that it might
attract anything between fourteen and twenty members. Amazingly,
the club membership in December 1995 stood at forty five and we
met once a month at the Methodist Hall in Cromer. The annual
subscription was £10.00.
To give you some idea of how the first few club session operated, a
December 1995 newsletter states, “Our first workshop meeting in
October produced in the region of twenty two trays and eight rolling
pins and firescreens. Have you finished yours yet? Have you had
trouble? If you need help please ask.
Our second workshop in November covered many aspects of
needlework, from patchwork to quilting and many other points from
needles!”
In 2015 the Minni House Club now has 35 members and meets on
the second Thursday of each month, apart from August, in Bodham
Village Hall from 2.00pm - 4.00pm and Mary Luh is our Chairman.
We have a very active programme, which this year includes a
miniature Christmas scene in a cup and saucer, handbag and cake
making, paperclay and curtain making. At our AGM recently, we duly
elected our new committee and had a very enjoyable talk from Mike
Turner on how to make realistic looking stone floors and plastered
walls. In April, Caz is demonstrating papercraft, which I think is new
to all of us. We shall also be holding a workshop in April to learn how
to wig a doll (5.5” high).
Our annual outing this year is a lunch at The Lighthouse Inn, Walcott,
followed by a visit to our local Dollshouse Museum at Bacton.
We sell items on a table in support of our local Air Ambulance and we
also have a Club Sales Table. Members also have a table where they
are able to sell any of their own items.

NEWS FROM KELLING CE PRIMARY SCHOOL
The children and staff had great fun on Friday 6th March, celebrating World Book Day. Children came to school dressed as their
favourite literary characters, these included: Peter Pan, Paddington Bear, The BFG and an Oompa Loompa, among many others.
Prizes were awarded for the most thoughtful costumes.
Also that day teachers and children buried a time capsule in the school grounds (photograph bottom) to give students attending the school in
50 years’ time an
insight into what
life was like in
2015. Pupils filled
the capsule with a
selection of items
from the school
including photos,
letters, drawings,
a dinner menu
and prospectus,
as well as school
newsletters, leaflets
and other general
information.
The capsule will
remain buried in
the school grounds
until 2065 when it
will be dug up and
opened by students,
allowing them to see how school life has changed in half a century. Headteacher, Miss Dolan said: “The children have greatly enjoyed thinking
of items to put in the capsule, getting them together and creating their own pieces of work too. It will be really interesting to know what future
pupils of Kelling CE Primary School think
of our lives in 2015”.

IN-FLIGHT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight
safety lecture and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are
some real examples:
A flight attendants comment on a less than perfect landing: “We ask you to
please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.”
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant came on with,
“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and
the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And
once the tyre smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open
the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.”
Part of a flight attendant’s arrival announcement: “We’d like to thank you
folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go
blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope you’ll think of
us here at US Airways.”
And from the pilot during his welcome message: “We are pleased to have
some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them
are on this flight.”

of the meats he had brought at the end.
In February we had hoped to welcome our Advisor, but as she was
unable to come, we enjoyed a game of bingo, after doing business.
At the end of the month a few of us went on what has become an
annual event, a walk round Walsingham Abbey to see the snowdrops,
culminating in a visit to the local pub.
In March we are welcoming Rowena Haggar-Utting from 4 Women
Centre in Norwich. We are now looking forward to the warmer
weather, with trips out being organised to various gardens, which
hopefully will include somewhere good to eat!

leaving Briston at 8.30am and this is open to anyone at a cost of
£12.00. If you would like to join us, please contact Val on 01263

Just a quick note to let you know how the Neighbourhood Plan is progressing. Firstly I must
thank you for the fantastic response to the questionnaire that was distributed at the end of last
year. It was so good to hear from members of our community and be assured the steering group
will work to progress your ideas. We have appointed a robust and experienced steering group and
will keep you updated with their progress.
This month’s update has been written by a new member, who is a Holt resident.
Holt’s Future: Having Your Say
The Neighbourhood Plan, Holt’s Future, gives everyone living here the opportunity to have a say in the way our town
develops.
There was a terrific response to the Survey sent out last October. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to feedback
so many helpful ideas and suggestions. The full results will appear soon and you can find a summary of them now on our
website, www.holttowncouncil.org. Here are some of the key findings.
•
The average age of our respondents was 62 of whom 82% owned their own homes.
•
Almost twice as many people aged over 75 replied compared to those aged 25-40.
•
Not surprisingly, what people valued most highly in Holt were the countryside; the town’s historic character and
its variety of independent shops.
•
Almost everyone identified insufficient parking as the town’s number one problem.
•
Suggestions for what we’d like to see in Holt included fewer second homes, regular market, museum, a cinema,
a swimming pool, and activities for young people and perhaps most importantly employment for the people of Holt.
There are many things which, working together, we can influence and Holt Town Council wants you to be involved in
shaping our Neighbourhood Plan, Holt’s Future. National guidelines for development are shaped in Westminster; the
technical framework is overlooked by the District Council in Cromer. But the detail of how policies are implemented
in Holt will be informed by Holt’s Future, and in order to draw up that Neighbourhood Plan, Holt Town Council is
determined to involve everyone living in Holt.
We are setting up a Neighbourhood Plan workshop, led by Rachel, an experienced Neighbourhood planner, to which you
are invited. If you are interested please contact the Town Clerk on 01263 712149. Rachel has worked with communities
around the country on how to make their neighbourhood plans inclusive and effective. We hope as many of you as
possible will come along to this meeting.
Maybe you’d like to help us develop the plan in particular ways?
Perhaps you have expertise in some particular area, such as law, health, education, planning, traffic management,
journalism, websites, wildlife, or conservation.
Perhaps you enjoy walking, we always need good deliverers!
Why not drop Elaine an email, holtnp@gmail.com, outlining your particular areas of expertise, interest or concern?
What we hope to promote in Holt is a continuing conversation about how the town can build upon its strengths and look
forward to a robust future.
We are particularly keen to hear from young people, and from those with children, who will live with the kinds of changes
that the Neighbourhood Plan will address. We recognise that working families have precious little time to come to daytime
meetings so we need to hear your suggestions for how working families and young people can best be involved in the
conversation.
At nearly four thousand people, Holt is exactly the right size for a thriving democratic debate on its future. Facebook,
Twitter and the Holt Chronicle are three channels through which we hope everyone can stay in touch with the process
and contribute, the steering group regularly feeding back to everyone their latest thoughts and seeking your advice on how
to proceed.
If you can think of other ways by which we can connect with you, let us know. We want your opinion.

THUMBS UP FOR ‘BIRDSEYE’ WAGON RESTORATION
Volunteers of the M&GN Joint Railway Society, the supporting charity of the North Norfolk
Railway (NNR) have successfully completed the restoration of a unique ‘Birdseye’ wagon,
believed to be the only one in the country.
The recently overhauled wagon was launched over the North Norfolk Railway’s recent Spring
Steam Gala and will now be a permanent addition to the Railway’s demonstration freight train.
To celebrate the launch, the NNR volunteer Biz Bizzel dressed up as Captain Birdseye to
launch the vehicle into traffic.
The wagon is just the latest in a string of restorations funded by the ‘Joint Heritage Coach
Fund’, which restores carriages and wagons with unique East Anglian history to working order.
Nigel Scarlett, who spearheaded the project said, “It turned out to be a bigger project than
anticipated. We ended up making the container entirely from scratch, using as many salvaged
bits from the original as possible.”
He added, “The highlight has been seeing it in traffic over the Steam Gala
weekend. The reaction from visitors and passengers was great. Getting Biz
dressed up as Captain Birdseye was the icing on the cake.”
A concious decision was made to paint the container in Birdseye colours
because of the rich history it represented. Whilst coal was king in the
Midlands and
the North East,
in East Anglia,
agricultural
produce and
latterly fish
were the
moneymakers.
Millions of
tonnes of fish was transported by rail overnight from the ports of Great Yarmouth
and Lowestoft to markets in London and further afield. Birdseye still operate a
factory at Ness Point in Lowestoft.
Birdseye were approached to sponsor the wagon, but no response was received.
The wagon is a ‘Conflat’ type (No.B502824) and the container a British Railways
‘AF’ (No.AF65970B) type. The ‘Conflat’ was restored in 2011 and the container
was purchased from the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre in 2014.

GRESHAM’S SCHOOL
HOLDS THE SOLUTION
Dear Caroline
I’m not a resident of Grove Lane area but
I’ve seen a circular posted by two local
councillors. I don’t think the residents of that
area should be inconvenienced by a suggested
one-way traffic system in Grove Lane if the
road safety and traffic problems are caused by
parents of pupils at Gresham’s Junior School
using the lane as a short cut. If this is true, the
just and honourable solution is for the school
to advise parents to use the parallel stretch of
Cromer Road instead and for the parents to
adhere to that.
Pearson’s Road is as unsuitable an access
to Gresham’s Junior School as Grove Lane
and the worst traffic jams in Holt are caused
by the westbound exodus from Gresham’s
School queuing through the Market Place and
High Street to get on to Norwich Road and
the A148 west.
I think the Town Council and the County
highways authority should request the school
to advise all parents to use Cromer Road and
the A148 via the junction at High Kelling for
all access to and from the main school and the
junior school.
To this end the County Council could also
help by improving the visibility for drivers
at the junctions of Cromer Road with Grove
Lane (west end) and Kelling Road and
providing a refuge for the right turn from
Cromer Road on to the A148. In view of the
traffic it generates, the school might also be
asked to contribute to improving the junction
of Pearson’s Road and Grove Lane.
We might expect this gentlemen’s school to
see the traffic problems it is causing to its
host town and to volunteer remedial action
on its own initiative but there is no harm in
asking.
Yours sincerely,
Cedric Greenwood
SPEED CAMERAS
Dear Caroline,
The proposal for a 20mph restriction outside
Greshams in the Cromer Road is timely and
should stretch from Woodlands to the 40mph
sign near the Kelling junction. But the new
proposed limit will be as ineffective as the
present 30mph limit unless monitored by a
Gatso or similar speed camera.
Following traffic on my way along the
Cromer Road into Holt from Kelling on
numerous occasions I have witnessed the
present 30mph limit ignored, by buses,
commercial vehicles as well as private
motorists, passing the illuminated 30mph
warning sign at excessive speed.
I hope the powers that be will bear this in
mind.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Gee
COACH SERVICES
Dear Caroline,
Sanders Coaches are changing their bus
timetables on 29th March but as Sanders
do not issue press releases I thought readers
might like to know what’s happening in the
Cromer - Holt area.
The 5, North Walsham - Holt, on Mondays to
Saturdays, will be half hourly most of the day
instead of hourly.
The 9 will be withdrawn between Cromer
and Holt, so just run Holt - Fakenham. It will
actually be the same bus as the 5, so no need
to change at Holt though pass holders must
re-present their pass there to the driver.
The Norwich - Sheringham 44 will be
extended to Holt via Holway Road daily, in
place of the 9.
But what the new timetable book doesn’t
mention, nor offer any explanation for, is:
The 5 no longer runs Sundays west of
Cromer, so Upper Sheringham loses its
Sunday buses, currently provided by the 9.
The last bus from Sheringham to Holt, at
11.48pm, will now be a 44 and not a 5, so
will no longer serve Upper Sheringham.
Yours sincerely,
David Hurdle

I would also like to thank Lloyd Durham

Will Chandler for a beautiful service, it was
exactly as Dave wanted.
He would have been very proud.

MARIE CURIE
Dear Caroline,
We would like to thank everyone who helped
us to collect £1340.86 on Saturday, 14th
March for Marie Curie Cancer Care. What a
huge amount of money!
We were given fresh daffodils by a very kind
local farmer, it makes a big difference to have
fresh flowers.
We missed Karen’s girls this year, first time
in about 10 years without them cheering
everyone up. They are all working now.
The gramophone was a great success again
and Steve could ‘just’ cope with ladies
wanting to dance The Lambeth Walk with
him. We all had a great time and give our
many thanks to everyone, also to a very
generous anonymous donor.
Yours sincerely,
Liz and Karin

REPORT ON HOLT TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
Holt Town Council met on 9th March for its monthly Town Council
meeting.
It was good to have Sheila Oxtoby, Chief Executive of NNDC and
Tom Fitzpatrick Leader of NNDC at the meeting. The Councillors
and members of the public were invited to ask questions. A theme of
the questions was why Holt doesn’t get any help in maintaining their
outdoor play facilities. The playing field committee do grand work in
keeping this facility running and as it is the only facility in Holt, and
caters for a wide range of sports, it was felt NNDC should contribute
to help more. Sheila and Tom agreed to look at the funding again and
were invited to visit and see the facilities for themselves.
The Police were present and gave a crime report for the last month.
The public were warned there had been some burglaries in nearby
parishes in recent weeks and now a resident of Holt has become a
victim. It was requested that residents report any suspicious activity.
The Town Council agreed to match fund and be involved in the
planting of new planters in the Town centre. Holt deserves to have a
superb floral display during the summer and it is felt this would be a
good centre piece to our unique town. The Town Council will work
with the Chamber to fulfil the vision and it would be good for Holt to
be known for its displays, as indeed it was in the past.
A report was received on the Neighbourhood Plan. The steering
committee membership has increased with some interested members
of the public joining. Tasks have been allocated and we are looking
forward to a Neighbourhood Planning workshop at the end of the
month.
It was reported a letter from NCC had been received, regarding
proposals for a footway improvement in Grove Lane. The District
Councillors felt that the residents’ concerns were not being listened
to and have arranged for the immediate residents to be consulted on 4
proposals which they will then take back to Norfolk County Council.
It was agreed to host the circus on 27th -30th August. This will be on
Spouts common and hopefully be something for the residents of Holt
to look forward to.
The Town Council next meet on 30th March for the Annual Towns
meeting and then on 13th April for the monthly Town Council
meeting.
Town Council elections will be on 7th May, the same day as the
District and Parliamentary elections.

FROM THE RECTORY:
FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
Dear Friends,
HOLY WEEK & EASTER 29th March – 5th April 2015
Holy Week and Easter are always for me a mixture of
emotions. There is the deep sorrow and pain of Good Friday as
we kneel before the cross of the crucified Christ and then the
wonderful joy of Easter Day when we gather at 5.30am to greet
Christ, with the shout “Christ is risen!”
In many ways Holy Week touches something deep within us,
it as though our own experience of life is encapsulated within
just one week. We all experience at some time in our lives the
sorrow of Good Friday. I remember only too well the pain and
sorrow of the death of my brother in 2002, aged just 44. He
actually died on the Tuesday of Holy Week, which made Good
Friday even more poignant. Yet as someone said to me, “if
someone you love dies in Holy Week, you always have Easter
Day.” That year the hope and joy of Easter Day as we
proclaimed the resurrection of Christ from the dead gave me
great strength and renewed my faith that though our departed
loved ones have died to this life they live a new life hidden in
Christ. Sadness and pain, hope and joy, we all experience them.
Yet sadly, too many people in our communities and
throughout the world have to live daily with the pain and sorrow
of Good Friday. I visit a number of people in the parish who live
with what seems intolerable situations and you only have to
listen to the news to learn of people around the world living with
unimaginable problems.
Sickness, isolation, loneliness,
discrimination, injustice, inequality, abuse, fear, poverty,
disease, hunger, violence, bloodshed, and murder make Good
Friday a reality for millions of people today. And while we look
for answers to why people suffer and do not find many, it is
Good Friday and the Cross of Christ which reassures me that
God is with us, even in the darkest and most painful of places.
God is not divorced from the suffering we experience, he is to be
found in the midst of it, suffering with us and for us.
But also thank God for the victory of Easter Day. The joy and
hope of the resurrection is also a reality in our world. When love
triumphs over evil, hope over despair, forgiveness over hatred,
justice over wrong then there is resurrection. I see and
experience it in the community in which I am blessed to live and
work. Countless people work for the benefit of others to build
communities in which people are valued and loved, and
throughout the world aid agencies, charities and individuals
work in order that people may know the triumph and joy of
Easter Day. We experience it too in the loving relationship we
enjoy with those with whom we share our lives, families and
friends.
Holy Week and Easter resonates deeply with the experience
of life, and so whoever you are and wherever you are, may you
know, through the death and resurrection of Christ, the assurance
that God is with you and the joy and hope of Easter Day.
Every blessing to you and yours for a joyous Easter.
Fr. Howard

COUNTY COUNCIL NEWS
from County Councillor Dr. Marie Strong
Wells Recycling Centre: The planned charge of £2.00 for
disposing of items from next year at this centre and eight others
has been dropped. The reason for this stems from the Government’s
recent announcement that it intended to introduce new rules to stop local
authorities making charges at recycling centres. Instead there is to be a
comprehensive review of all the County Council’s recycling facilities,
looking at ideas for how savings could be made up in other ways.
Reference Areas: Many of us were concerned at the prospect of
‘zoning’ off part of Blakeney marsh as a reference area. Whilst for now
Blakeney is not under consideration it is best to keep an eye open for
any developments. In future we need to look out for the term ‘Highly
Protected Marine Areas’, this is the new name for reference areas! What
is under consideration is whether there is a need for Highly Protected
Marine Areas within a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in our
waters. The work on this project commenced last September and will run
until the end of March 2015. I will endeavour to obtain information as
soon as possible after the final report is ready.
Emergency Mobile Telephone Signals: There has been concern
regarding the lack of even an emergency mobile signal in some parts of
Norfolk. I am sure you will be pleased to learn that the Department for
Culture Media and Sport (with responsibility for digital matters) has now
released information on the Mobile Infrastructure Project for Norfolk.
Whilst we have been in discussion with the Department for some time
regarding this problem it is only now we can share the latest update
regarding the DCMS’s Mobile Infrastructure Project, which is making
up to £150 million available across the UK to improve mobile coverage
in areas where there is currently no emergency signal from any of the
mobile network operators. Blakeney and Salthouse have been identified
in the project as potential locations that may have mobile phone
infrastructure installed. Arqiva, who is running the project on behalf of
DCMS, will continue to work with local communities to determine what
infrastructure solution is most appropriate for each location.
Concessionary Travel Cards: Please check your concessionary travel
card because anyone with a card has until 7th April to make sure their
smartcard is valid before a new ‘hot listing’ system blocks free travel.
These cards are already electronically checked as you board a bus but
now will also show up any cards that have been ‘hot listed’ after being
reported lost, stolen or withdrawn for some other reason. Up until 6th
April, anyone whose card shows up as being ‘hot listed’ will be allowed
to travel and advised to apply for a new concessionary smartcard. From
7th April any ‘hot listed’ cards will be retained by the driver. Enquiries
about updating concessionary travel passes can be made by calling
the County Council on 0344 800 8020 or email concessionarytravel@
norfolk.gov.uk.
Apprenticeships: I have repeatedly pressed for more support for
apprenticeships across the county and I am pleased that over 50
organisations in Norfolk have joined together to drive growth or create
more apprenticeship opportunities in the county. The Apprenticeships
Norfolk Network, supported by NCC and New Anglia Local Enterprise
Partnership aims to increase the number, level, quality and range of
apprenticeships available. For more information visit the Network’s
website www.apprenticeshipsnorfolk.org.
Protecting Children in Norfolk: A multi-agency review has been
commissioned to look into historic complaints from foster carers who
felt they had been unfairly treated. The review, an extension of an earlier
examination, offers a further opportunity for any of those remaining
carers to have their case reviewed and so resolve any outstanding issues.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter.

HOLT AND DISTRICT DEMENTIA SUPPORT GROUP
On Tuesday 17th February we were delighted to welcome
Norman Lamb MP to our weekly ‘Poppy Centre’ meeting at
St. Andrew’s Church, Holt. The ‘Drop In’ style Café aims to
provide much needed information and support to those living
locally with dementia and their carers, as well as offering
many activities including games, quizzes, art and craft,
relaxation for carers, reminiscence and music. Specialists
from a number of organisations visit to offer information,
advice and support.
Mr. Lamb’s visit was very much appreciated and enjoyed both
by clients and carers, co-ordinators and volunteers alike. At
the end of the morning, during which Norman met, chatted
and listened to those present, he praised the growth and
success of the ‘Poppy Centre’ which was launched in Holt
last April. He also wished the group success with the Home
Visiting Service, a new project that started on February 15th.
L to R: Wendy Richley (Chair and Co-ordinator HDDSP),
The official launch will be on 17th April at 10.30am -11.30am
Fr Howard Stoker, Norman Lamb MP,
and this will be followed by our AGM at midday. This service
Co-ordinators Ann Hill and Ann Poberefsky.
offers respite for carers looking after a person living with
dementia. Our specifically trained volunteers offer company, support and reassurance to the client in their own home, enabling carers to take
‘time out’. Visits are pre-arranged to suit both the needs of the client and their carer; and the service is free of charge.
Wendy Richley, Chair, Holt & District DSG, thanked Norman for his genuine interest and support of the service.
If you would like more information about either of these services please pop
into the Café any Tuesday from 10.30am - 12.30pm. Leaflets are available in
Holt Library, St. Andrew’s Church and Holt Medical Practice. Contact details:
Mrs Wendy Richley (01263 715950), Mrs Ann Hill (01262 710766), Mrs. Ann
Poberefsky (01263 587302). Contact for Home Visiting Service: Mrs. Eleanor
Sidgwick (01263 710617) or e-mail: emsidgwick@mail.com
P.S. Before Norman’s arrival on that Tuesday morning, ‘The Poppy Centre’ had a
most unexpected visitor. Sadly it wasn’t captured on camera as it peered through
at those already enjoying coffee and joining in the activities in the Meeting Room
at St. Andrew’s Church.
However it led to much excitement; and after much searching in the churchyard,
this photograph was taken!

FAKENHAM COMMUNITY CENTRE GOOD NEWS
Trustees at the Fakenham Community Centre are pleased to announce that they have managed to secure a further £15,000, largely from the Big
Lottery - Awards for All, fund. “We’ve achieved a lot over the last couple of years, refurbishing and reviving the fortunes of the centre” said
Janet Holdom Chair of the Trustees. “The next priority is to resurface the main hall floor as a crucial part in the Centre’s future potential. We
have over 15,000 visits a year and already bookings are coming in for next year.”
Richard Crook, Vice Chair said, “The flooring is
nearly forty years old and is in bad need of repair.
We were disappointed to have the bid to the North
Norfolk District Council rejected but are very
happy the National Lottery has come to the rescue.
We have recently added Wi-Fi to the centre and
are brightening it up and improving the facilities.
We all love the new sign and are planning a large
community notice board in the next few weeks.
As well as the main hall we now have two good
quality meeting rooms to rent.”
The Trustees have said they are aware how
difficult times are financially but are doing their
best to ensure Fakenham gets a fair deal. The
next big event organised by the Centre is the
Trustees Adrian Vertigan, Lisa Mallet (Centre Coordinator), Emma Smith,
performance of Parachute on the 4th April.

A FOND FAREWELL
Time for that yearly deep clean?
North Norfolk Photographic Society said a fond ‘goodbye’
to Judy Knights (left) at their
meeting on 4th March. Judy has
been a key member of the club for some
years past, serving on the Committee
(in recent times as Club Secretary) and
having achieved recognition along the
way from the Royal Photographic Society
and from the Photographic Alliance of
Great Britain; it has been no surprise that
she has won many of the club’s competitions.
Just before moving from Sheringham to be closer to her family, Judy
made her point by winning her last competition.
Judged by one of the club’s familiar and charismatic judges, Jim
Hartje from Peterborough, in the Open Competition Judy’s print
‘Going Down’ (right) was a worthy winner. A spiral staircase looking
a bit like a snail shell if it were not for the chap going down the stairs,
it beat Hugh
Barton’s ‘Red
Squirrel on
Stump’ into
second place,
followed by
Diana Knight
with ‘On the
Lookout’.
The set subject
for the evening
was a panel of
3 prints - which calls for three pictures with some relationship. The
winner in this was Lizzie Wallis’s ‘In for the Kill’ - a series of 3 action
shots of a predating bird catching a fish. Second was Liz Akers’ 3
‘Spittal Rock Patterns’ and third Paul Richards’ ‘Fishing’.
Meetings of the North Norfolk Photographic Society are held on
the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month from 7.30pm in the Holt
Community Centre. For further details please contact the NNPS

BARBARA’S BIG BIRTHDAY BREW
RAISES FUNDS FOR TRAIDCRAFT’S
FAIR NECESSITIES APPEAL
Barbara’s Big Birthday Brew on 6th March was a very enjoyable
morning and we were able to send £247.00 (including £151.00 which
was Gift Aided), to Traidcraft’s Fair Necessities Appeal. Until the
start of April all donations to this appeal will be matched by the UK
Government.
The Fairtrade suppliers, Traidcraft, have a charity which helps
marginalised smallholder farmers to improve their standard of living.
For instance, Hadija, in Tanzania was widowed with three children.
She heard of a Traidcraft scheme nearby showing people how to
keep bees and she now has five hives, earning her enough to feed her
children and to send them to school. This story is echoed thousands of
times in many parts of the world.
Until the beginning of April Traidcraft has called the project ‘Fair
Necessities’, because the U.K. Government is going to double the
amount of donations sent to Traidcraft, so twice as many people will
be given help.

NORTH NORFOLK CHAMBER OPERA
Treat yourself .........
The North Norfolk Chamber Opera (NNCO) is an amateur performing
group set up some 25 years ago by our President, Janet Bryant-Heron
to perform operatic works seldom, if ever, seen in North Norfolk.
Our venues have included the Sheringham Little Theatre, Kelling
Barn, The Maddermarket Theatre and for many years now the Auden
Theatre which is part of Gresham’s School in Holt.
NNCO have put on an opera annually in the spring, performing such
works as ‘The Marriage of Figaro’, ‘The Magic Flute’ and ‘Don
Giovann’i by Mozart, ‘Die Fledermaus’ by Strauss, ‘Sister Angelica’
by Puccini, ‘Albert Herring’ by Britten, ‘The Song in the Blickling
Garden’ by Davidson and many operettas and one act operas.
Our concerts in the autumn have been both serious and light-hearted
including ‘The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Mozart’ and ‘Opera
and Chips’ performed in a barn at a pub!
Our next
production will
be an English
translation of ‘The
Elixir of Love’
(L’Elisir d’Amore)
by Gaetano
Donizetti, nightly
on 16th - 18th
April 2015 at the
Auden Theatre - a
fun ‘Rom-Com’ in
which a lovelorn
young man takes an Elixir (actually only wine but he doesn’t know
that!) in order to try and win his love.
We are a very small amateur group (seen above at rehearsal) and new
members are always welcome; non-performing as well as performing.
If you would like to know more, please contact Maggi Warren,
Musical Director/Acting Chair on 01263 761482 or see our website

CREDIT CRUNCH COOKING
Just a thought....
Spring Cleaning Time!
At last it seems as though spring is here, with bulbs emerging
through the ground, sunny days and warmer temperatures. This is
traditionally the time of year when we blitz the home, dusting out and
cleaning all the corners and crevices and ushering in a new season.
It should be no different with our bodies, which also need a bit of
a dusting off and cleaning out after all the winter comfort food we
have been indulging in! This soup does just that; packed with vital
nutrients and antioxidants, it has a wonderful boosting effect on the
system, keeping everything moving well through the body (ahem!)
and helping us to remove the stodgy build up that can occur with too
much rich food and meaty dishes. A few days on this soup and I can
assure you that you will feel well and truly purged and detoxified,
and you will be giving your body a vital boost of nutrients.
It is surprisingly tasty too, and with all that fibre, very filling and
satisfying. If you’re really feeling sluggish, try the Green Smoothie
recipe below too; I find a large glass of this every day keeps my
system moving, gives me energy and clear skin, helps with the 5 a
day and makes a great fibre filling breakfast.
For the uninitiated, it actually tastes really lovely; you taste the fruit
more than the salad, trust me!
Spring Clean Green Soup
1 large white onion, chopped
2 large leeks, chopped
6 sticks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Olive Oil
2 fist size potatoes, peeled and chopped into
small chunks
¼ celeriac, skinned and chopped into small chunks
½ head broccoli, broken into small florets
½ head savoy cabbage, shredded
1 bag Kale
Heaped tsp Herbs de Provence
Stock cube
Put onion, leeks, celery and garlic into deep saucepan with a couple
of tablespoons of oil and gently sweat with lid on for 5 mins over a
medium heat. Add potato and celeriac and sweat for further 5 mins,
stirring occasionally, then add broccoli, kale and cabbage, stir well,
add seasoning and herbs and leave for a further 3 mins. Boil kettle,
and add just enough water to almost come up to the level of the
vegetables; do not add too much or your soup will be too thin. Add
stock cube, stir and bring to boil, and then turn down to a simmer,
cooking until potatoes are just soft (about 10 mins). Check seasoning,
and then use a hand blender to whiz into a smooth soup. Refrigerate
and eat within 3 days.
Green Smoothie
Large handful spinach
½ head lettuce
3 inch piece of cucumber
1 apple
1 pear
Put ingredients in the order above one at a time into a blender and
blend until smooth. Add ice and drink. Will make 2 large smoothies,
and last 1 day in the fridge.

AN MP’s SAD DEMISE
While walking down the street one day a Member of Parliament is
tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there
is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so
we’re not sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” says the MP.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where
to spend eternity.”
“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the MP.
“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he went down,
down, down to hell. The doors open and he found himself in the middle
of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front
of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and dressed in evening dress. They run to greet
him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while
getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of
golf and then dined on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly and nice guy who
has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
time that before he realises it, it’s time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty
farewell and wave whilst the elevator rises....
The elevator rises and the door opens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting
for him. “Now it’s time to visit heaven.”
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving
from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time
and, before he realises it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity.”
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have
said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be
better off in hell.”
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down down to
hell. When the doors open he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with
waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I
don’t understand,” stammers the MP. “Yesterday I was here and there
was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, “ Yesterday we were
campaigning..... today you voted.”

The Wells-next-the-Sea Dementia Friendly Community
Project is being officially launched on the evening
of Thursday 23rd April and Age UK Norfolk and the
Wells local steering committee are inviting local businesses, groups
and organisations to attend to find out more. The launch, 7.00pm 9.00pm at The Maltings, Staithe St, Wells-next-the-Sea NR23 1AH,
follows months of planning involving Age UK Norfolk working in
partnership with Wells Hospital and a steering committee of local
people to support the community to become a Dementia Friendly
Community.
This is the sixth Dementia Friendly Community initiative in Norfolk
and is part of a drive to make Norfolk a Dementia Friendly county.
Age UK Norfolk has so far worked with communities to develop
initiatives in Aylsham, Wymondham, Swaffham, Diss and Wayland.
The aim of Dementia Friendly Community projects is to unite the
whole community in raising awareness and understanding of dementia
so that people living with dementia and their carers are able to access
the social life, businesses and amenities in their community and to live
independently in their own homes longer.
Councillor Dr Marie Strong will be the compere for the evening and
Willie Cruickshank from Norfolk and Suffolk Dementia Alliance
and Zena Aldridge, Lead Admiral Nurse for Norfolk, will speak
about dementia and what Dementia Friendly Communities mean for
everyone.
Local shops, other businesses and organisations in the area are being
invited to attend the launch to find out about the project and how they
can make their services more accessible to customers with dementia.
Age UK Norfolk’s Dementia Lead, Joanne Mountjoy-Dixon
commented, “Age UK Norfolk is delighted that Wells is getting
involved and we are pleased to be working with Wells Steering
Committee to take forward another Dementia Friendly Community in
Norfolk.
We hope that representatives from local businesses, groups and
organisations will attend and take advantage of free dementiaawareness workshops being offered by Age UK Norfolk. ”
Tina Neil from Age UK Norfolk will talk about the training package
and Dementia Friendly Community Toolkit, which is available to
businesses and organisations to provide practical support to help them
ensure customers living with dementia can use their services.
The event is by invitation only. If you would like to attend or would
like further information, please contact Jo Mountjoy-Dixon on 01603
785232 or email joanne.mountjoy-dixon@ageuknorfolk.org.uk.
Jo is also very keen to hear from other towns and villages who are
interested in becoming Dementia Friendly Communities.

JOHN HURST EXHIBITIONS 2015
NORTH NORFOLK DISTRICT
COUNCIL AWARDS FUNDS TO LOCAL
COMMUNITY GROUPS
The Norfolk Wildlife Trust are holding a major solo exhibition by
well-known local watercolourist, John Hurst to launch the new
extended and eagerly anticipated visitor facilities at Cley Marshes
Visitors’ Centre.
Open from 1st to 27th April, 10.00am to 4.30pm daily, the exhibition
showcases the artist’s work in support of conservation and features
John’s vast Norfolk coastal skies and fleeting weather patterns.
Called ‘New Ground. Cley
and Beyond’, some paintings
record Pope’s Marsh, the
new reserve purchased by
The Trust with the support
of Heritage Lottery grants
and public subscription.
John enjoys painting daily
life on the coast too, hence
detailed beach studies will
be found juxtaposed with
minimal marsh watercolours.
“I am fortunate to have the support of wonderful patrons from far
and wide”, quoted John, who has recently completed a heritage book
of original watercolours for Liam Botham, comprising of twenty
moorland studies. He has also just completed a painting of the Tidal
Transit fleet in Wells harbour.
The exhibition culminates with a ‘live feed’ watercolour techniques
demonstration in the new facilities on Saturday 25th April at 4.30pm
in which John will show
images of his work
and paint whilst being
filmed. The cost is £3.50
for Trust funds and it
is advisable to book in
advance by contacting
Cley Marshes Centre on
01263 740008 as places
are limited.
John’s 2015 shows,
including a fine selection of his signed prints and books, continue in
St Nicholas Church Room on Blakeney Quay from 2nd to 8th May,
Salthouse in August and Blakeney in September and October, all of
which can be viewed in ‘The News Section’ of www.marshlandarts.
co.uk.
John wishes you warm welcome to all his exhibitions.
North Norfolk District Council’s (NNDC) Big Society Fund
(BSF) Grant Panel has awarded funding totalling £49,000 to eight
community projects across North Norfolk.
The Big Society Fund was set up by NNDC to help build strong
communities in the district. The Fund aims to help communities to
develop new and innovative projects which will improve their social and
economic wellbeing.
Conditional BSF grant awards in this round include: Southrepps Parish
Council (£5,372), Ingworth Parish Council (£7,500) and Sculthorpe Parish
Council (£7,500) for projects to improve play provision.
Grants to improve facilities and help support the sustainability of village
halls were given to Kettlestone (£6,000) and Ludham (£4,500).
A grant of £7,500 was awarded to Wells Town Tennis Club towards a
replacement club house with toilets. The Panel heard that this would
improve the facilities for all users of the tennis club as well as encourage
the local community, in particular, children and people with learning
disabilities interested in playing tennis. The club house will also be
available as a meeting venue for the local community.
St Andrews Church Hall in Holt will receive a grant of £2,628 towards
new chairs at the hall which will benefit people attending community
events and activities.
A grant of £8,000 was awarded to Stalham Town Council towards an
intergenerational community project which will include the creation of a
heritage trail with interpretation boards sited at key locations in Stalham.
NNDC Leader, Tom FitzPatrick, said, “I am really encouraged that
so many communities across North Norfolk have come forward with
innovative projects seeking support from the Council’s Big Society Fund
for grants to match their own considerable efforts.
As a council we are delighted to reward the hard work of many local
people by providing support to projects that clearly benefit our local
communities. We look forward to excellent projects continuing to come
forward. We are committed to making sure that the Council’s funds
are used in the most effective way and I encourage local community
organisations to make an application to the grant Fund which I’m pleased
to announce will continue for another year.”
NNDC will provide help and advice to applicants at all stages in the
application process to help them develop excellent projects that will
achieve their desired outcome and become financially sustainable in the
long-term.
If you have an idea or a project that you wish to develop and apply for
funding, you are encouraged to get in touch with the Council (via Sonia
Shuter tel. 01263 516173, email supporting.communities@north-norfolk.

In April of this year, North Norfolk resident Keith Packer will be
cycling from his home in Melton Constable to the Isle of Skye, in aid
of Marie Curie Cancer Care. His 650-mile trip is in memory of his
friend Jackie from Kyle of
Lochalsh, West Highlands.
She lived with an aggressive
brain tumour for fourteen
months, winning several
battles along the way, but
finally died peacefully at
home in June of last year,
aged 44. She leaves a partner
and teenage son. She and her
family received incredible
support from the local Marie
Curie nurses, and Keith is
making this ride in thanks
to them.
Leaving on 16th April, Keith
will ride for eight days to
Jackie’s resting place and to
where he lived for several
years before moving to
Norfolk. His route will take him from Melton Constable to Kyleakin
on the Isle of Skye, via Lincoln, York, Durham, Borders, Edinburgh,
Crianlarich, Fort William and Kyle of Lochalsh. He’s been riding on
the North Norfolk roads since early January in preparation, battling
the cold and wind, though he’s sure he’ll be encountering a few more
hills en route to the Highlands.
Keith is raising funds for Marie Curie through his Just Giving page
www.justgiving.com/big-skye, to help them continue their invaluable
work. There is also a collection box at Rutlands butcher in Melton
Constable.

Solution to No. 156 (Black moves first): 1.Nd5 Ka7 2.Nb4 Kb6 3.Ka4
Nc5. The black N must go first, otherwise the white K cannot take its
place on b6 and would be in check on a6 instead. It is a happy chance
that: 1.Nd5 prevents a dual continuation 1... Kc7.
Elegant line problem.
For the letter F we return to direct-mate form with No.157 by a
composer who shot to fame in the ‘50s with a Miniature problem in
five parts, generated by placing all five non-Royal black units in turn
on one square. The diagram may suggest the (albeit rather nice) key
instinctively, so difficulty 2.

HIGH KELLING GARDEN CLUB
BRISTON CRAFT CIRCLE
March’s meeting of the Craft Circle was enjoyed by
members making padded cards involving cats, teapots and
cockerels! Everyone made some very pretty cards and were able to
take materials home to make more.
Our next meeting is on Monday 13th April when members can bring
their own work.
Meetings start at 7.30pm on the second Monday of each month
and are held at Briston Congregational Centre (the Circle is nondenominational). New members are always very welcome.
For more details please contact, Anne Fippard on 01263 861004 or
Ginny Unsworth on 01263 861963.
There was a good attendance of members and visitors at our
meeting on 9th March which commenced with the Annual
General Meeting. We were very pleased to welcome three
additional members on to the committee this year.
‘Making a wildlife pond’ was the subject of Hilary Reid’s talk and
the plans and preparations she made before commencing to dig out
the pond herself. Her talk was put across with such humour that made
what could have been a dull subject, very amusing. After reading
library books on the subject and finding they were not practical, she
decided to do it her way.
The depth of the pond was two feet six inches with a shallow area
one end for birds to bathe. Newspaper was placed at the bottom and
butyl sheeting was used as lining, being held in place by long nails.
Hexagonal slabs surrounded the pond, leaving space for the overflow
bog area. She installed a pump and fountain and told us the problems
encountered in doing so. Once the pond was completed it required
plants such as oxygenators, floaters, marginals and ones that thrive in
damp areas. At the end of her talk Hilary passed around some photos
of the finished pond, surrounded by shrubs and plants, and she must
surely be very proud of her efforts, as she has created a very lovely,
relaxing place to sit.
Hilary also hand-paints stones to resemble cats, dogs, frogs,
hedgehogs, owls, ladybirds and more, which she brought along to sell
for a charity.
Our next meeting is on Monday 13th April, when Howard Norton will
give a talk on ‘Delphiniums’. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be available
from 7.15pm and the meeting starts at 7.30pm.
Please contact Joyce on 01263 713 971 if you require further
information.

NORTH NORFOLK GEARS UP FOR
TOUR OF BRITAIN 2015 STAGE START
Fakenham Racecourse is set to host the start of the seventh
stage of Britain’s biggest cycling event, the Tour of Britain,
on Saturday 12th September.
The Tour of Britain is returning to Norfolk for the first time since
2012 and the historic market town will be the start of the penultimate
and longest stage of the Tour. World class cyclists will head through
North Norfolk’s unique and beautiful countryside for the closing
weekend of the Tour. The 2015 Tour will take place from Sunday 6th
September to Saturday 12th September with stage seven of the race
heading from Fakenham towards Thetford via Norwich and then on to
finishing the stage in Ipswich.
Active Norfolk, Norfolk County Council and Adnams have worked
together to bring the Tour of Britain back to the region. The return
of the race to the county has also been made possible by the support
of Breckland Council, Broadland District Council, North Norfolk
District Council (NNDC), Norwich City Council and South Norfolk
Council.
Cllr Tom FitzPatrick, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said:
“Our unique and beautiful countryside will be a fantastic backdrop
to this world-renowned spectacle. I am delighted that we have been
able to secure Fakenham Racecourse as the starting point for the
penultimate stage and I can’t wait to join the thousands of locals
and visitors to the area that will line the route to witness such a
great event. It will be a fantastic boost to our local economy and an
opportunity for us to showcase North Norfolk as a great destination
for cyclists. I am hopeful that the event will encourage more people to
get involved in cycling at all levels from those who enjoy a gentle ride
through the countryside with family and friends to aspiring Olympic
athletes”.
It is likely that some 20 cycling teams will enter this year’s event, with
six riders per team, and
at least half of those
riders having recently
completed the world’s
biggest cycling race,
the Tour de France.
North Norfolk
District Council will
be organising many
activities to entertain
spectators wishing
to catch a glimpse of
their cycling idols.
It will be a fantastic
opportunity for locals
and visitors to the
district to get close to
some of the household
names that played
such a significant part
in Team GB’s hugely
successful London
The scene in Holt August 2010
2012 Olympics.

THAT’S LIFE! More true life experiences
Investigating a case as a CID officer, I visited an old lady.
As I showed her my warrant card, she grabbed it and scrutinised my
photograph. After a minute or so, she handed the card back.
“No,” she said. “I’ve never seen him before.”
A customer in our pharmacy shouted at one of the assistants before
storming out. Another customer asked if everything was OK.
“No problem,” said the assistant. “You have to understand, most of our
customers are on drugs.”
A real-life native American Indian was a special guest at my sister’s
primary school. He talked to the children about his tribe and its traditions,
then shared with them this fun fact: “There are no swear words in the
Cherokee language.”
One boy raised his hand , “But what if you’re hammering a nail and
accidentally bash your thumb?”
“That,” the Indian answered, “is when we use your language.”
While on holiday in South Africa, my parents befriended a local
fisherman. One of his big concerns in life was that wild baboons kept
ripping the mirrors and wipers off his car while he was at work.
Then, to his delight, he thought of a solution. Baboons were scared of
snakes, he reasoned, so why not put rubber replicas on his car to warn
them off?
Next morning, after a visit to a toy shop, he parked his car and arranged
12 large fake snakes on the bonnet and roof.
There was a flaw in his cunning plan, however. When he returned to his
vehicle several hours later, he found it badly dented and battered and a
crowd of angry baboons throwing rocks at the snakes.
DISTURBING NUMBERS CAUGHT NOT WEARING
SEATBELT
More than 400 people were dealt with for not wearing their seatbelt
during a week-long enforcement campaign in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Officers from the joint roads policing unit carried out checks on
motorists and their passengers as part of the Europe-wide TISPOL
seatbelt enforcement initiative running from Monday 9th March to
Sunday 15th March.
In total 426 people were found not wearing a seatbelt – 233 in Norfolk
and 193 in Suffolk, a large increase from the 97 drivers caught in the last
campaign held in September 2014.
Chief Inspector Chris Spinks, head of the Norfolk and Suffolk Roads
Policing Unit, described the increase as “disturbing”.
“The safety value in wearing a seatbelt is obvious and quite frankly it is
disturbing to see so many drivers and passengers taking such risks with
their lives in this way.”
Not wearing a seatbelt is one of the ‘fatal four’ behaviours along with
speeding, drink driving and using a mobile phone that makes you more
likely to be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
Ch Insp Chris Spinks added: “Putting on your seatbelt should be part of
your routine before commencing any journey no matter how short and
its imperative driver’s make sure passengers belt up as well.
“Keeping our roads safe is day-to-day business for us and officers will
continue to target those who break the law.”
Editor’s Notes: It is illegal not to wear a seatbelt when travelling in a
car or goods vehicle and it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure all
passengers under the age of 14 are wearing a seatbelt or child restraint.
Seatbelts should be worn in any vehicle they are provided in, including
buses and goods vehicles.
Anyone caught not wearing a seatbelt may be issued with a TOR (Traffic
Offence Report) and face a fine, points on their licence or even court
action.
