  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bee-Plant Networks: Structure, Dynamics and the Metacommunity Concept
    Ber. d. Reinh.-Tüxen-Ges. 28, 23-40. Hannover 2016 Bee-plant networks: structure, dynamics and the metacommunity concept – Anselm Kratochwil und Sabrina Krausch, Osnabrück – Abstract Wild bees play an important role within pollinator-plant webs. The structure of such net- works is influenced by the regional species pool. After special filtering processes an actual pool will be established. According to the results of model studies these processes can be elu- cidated, especially for dry sandy grassland habitats. After restoration of specific plant com- munities (which had been developed mainly by inoculation of plant material) in a sandy area which was not or hardly populated by bees before the colonization process of bees proceeded very quickly. Foraging and nesting resources are triggering the bee species composition. Dis- persal and genetic bottlenecks seem to play a minor role. Functional aspects (e.g. number of generalists, specialists and cleptoparasites; body-size distributions) of the bee communities show that ecosystem stabilizing factors may be restored rapidly. Higher wild-bee diversity and higher numbers of specialized species were found at drier plots, e.g. communities of Koelerio-Corynephoretea and Festuco-Brometea. Bee-plant webs are highly complex systems and combine elements of nestedness, modularization and gradients. Beside structural com- plexity bee-plant networks can be characterized as dynamic systems. This is shown by using the metacommunity concept. Zusammenfassung: Wildbienen-Pflanzenarten-Netzwerke: Struktur, Dynamik und das Metacommunity-Konzept. Wildbienen spielen eine wichtige Rolle innerhalb von Bestäuber-Pflanzen-Netzwerken. Ihre Struktur wird vom jeweiligen regionalen Artenpool bestimmt. Nach spezifischen Filter- prozessen bildet sich ein aktueller Artenpool.
