A declaration of a personal interest should indicate the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of a personal interest, the member may speak and vote on the matter. Please note that if you are exempt from declaring a personal interest because it arises solely from your position on a body to which you were nominated by the County Council or a body exercising functions of a public nature (e.g. another local authority), you need only declare your interest if and when you intend to speak on a matter. If a prejudicial interest is declared, the member should withdraw from the room whilst the matter is discussed unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, in which case you may attend the meeting for that purpose. You must immediately leave the room when you have finished or the meeting decides you have finished, if earlier. These declarations apply to all those members present, whether the member is part of the meeting, attending to speak as a local member on an item or simply observing the meeting from the public seating area. 5.

    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888

    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

    Norfolk Through a Lens

    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ilBSTRAGT The Cromer Moraine forms a distinctive geographical region near the coast of the northern part of the County of Norfolk. A pro­ nounced characteristic of this region is the vridespread cover of heatb-land, far less extensive than in former times. This heathland appears in its turn to have developed from an original woodland cover which was destroyed by the depredations of man and his domesticated animals . It has been necessary first to delimit the region as accurately as possible and this has been accomplished by means of a detailed study of local topography and of well-sections. The earliest evidence of the location of heathland comes from tlie Domesday Survey and this has been confirmed by references to heathland in various other documents dovm to 1750. By the middle of the eighteenth century the new developments in agriculture^ or ’Norfolk Husbandry’ as it was called, became widely known and practised, resulting in this region in a greatly accelerated reclama­ tion of heathland; so that by the time of the Tithe Survey (183S-42) less than a hundred years later over 4000 acres of heath had been reclaimed.

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office

    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

    https://portal.uea.ac.uk/uea-retirement-association The Newsletter of the UEA Retirement Association No. 62 FEBRUARY 2020 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION. As this is the first issue of Renaissance this year, I would like to wish you all a satisfying and peaceful 2020. We have three holidays arranged this year. The walking holiday at Sedburgh and the new Gentle walking holiday at Lulworth are already full. However some more rooms have been released for the Discovery Tour at Abingworth near the South Downs (please see the details on page 8). A coach has been booked to take members to Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge where the National Trust has upgraded its facilities to see the Anglo-Saxon ship burials. A History Group outing has been arranged to see the historic library collection at the John Innes Institute and the Garden Group has outings to Hoveton Hall and Gardens plus a return visit to Dale Farm. Please support these outings. You are also welcome at all our other activities. John Johnson A Note from the Treasurer Thank you all for renewing your 2020 memberships so promptly. The exercise is now completed and any members whose membership has lapsed do not receive this Renaissance. A few facts and figures (the figures in brackets are the comparable figures for 2019):- 234 (243) members renewed by 31 st December so it was only necessary to send 33 (37) reminders to jog memories. At 30 th January membership is 250 (262) which represents 100 (104) individual members and 75 (79) joint members. Denis Brown As you see from our Treasurer's note above, our overall membership numbers have gone down again this year, a trend we have seen in recent years.

    There's Only One Thing We Love More Than Sipping on Mint Juleps While

    There’s only one thing we love more than sipping on mint juleps while wearing a fancy hat and watching horses run around a track, and that’s swapping the fanciness of the races for a rough n’ ready day at the trials. The horse trials. ​ With your Barbour zipped up, your welly boots excited about the mud and your hip flask full of ​ ​ what you presume is sloe gin (but can’t quite remember), you get to enjoy the thrill of world-class eventers pounding the ground as they rip through the countryside against the clock, your tipple almost spilling with the thrill of it all, your lungs full of air cleaner than a 90s Disney movie. There really is nothing quite like playing spectator at the horse trials -- and the pick of the bunch is just around the corner: The Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse ​ Trials. ​ We’re talking about a dozen of the top 20 eventers in the world descending on the North Norfolk coast to battle it out for the ultimate bragging rights… on an Olympic year… each rider chomping at the bit as they gallop towards Tokyo 2020. Whatever the phrase “as big as it gets” ​ ​ ​ ​ means to you, this is that and then some -- and you get to witness it with your own eyes as you tuck into a hamper of Humble Pie goodies and Satchell’s wine. What a time to be alive. ​ ​ ​ ​ And in that spirit, here’s everything you need to pop in the notes section of your iPhone.
