6 COLTISHALL COMMONS TRUST APRIL 2019

Lower Common: The memorial seat has been delivered, we are just waiting for the plaque that is on order to be delivered and then the seat will be fitted. One of the trustees has scarified the surface of the car park. This has made a good job of reducing the size of the pot holes so it is planned to use this equipment used more frequently for maintaining the area. Contractors had left the area for wild flowers uncut but unfortunately the uncut area was larger than intended. This area will not be allowed to encroach on the grass surrounding the seats or the posts. We don’t want long grass to conceal any unwelcome objects. Drawings identifying the areas to left uncut have been supplied to the contractor and if necessary, another site meeting will be arranged. A visit to the area by some of the school children has been planned for shortly after Easter. Two of the Trustees will meet them there to tell them about the ‘project’. Then the children are going to paint three or four signs which will be fixed to the posts. Further informative walks for the children are also planned for the 25th May with permission from the NWT and another scheduled for the 13th July, for Norfolk Day. One parishioner had sent a letter objecting to nails and screws in what they mistakenly thought was the ‘Coronation Oak’, and also to the plastic flowers that were fixed to the tree. These were in memory of two fishermen, one of whom had tragically collapsed and died on the seat surrounding the tree a few years ago. The Trust had originally consented to ‘a suitable plaque’ to be placed on the seat. Following a discussion, it was agreed that the screws and nails should be removed, but considered that they were not detrimental to the health of the tree. It was also agreed that the plaques should be removed from the tree and attached to the seat; so that the family will feel that due respect has been given to the deceased. The plastic flowers will also be removed. A subsequent letter had also been received expressing views on how the Commons should be managed. The Trust has its own plans for the maintenance of the Commons to which it will adhere. An email had been received from a lady requesting a site for a seat in memory of her father. As previously reported the Trust had agreed, after some consideration, because of the large number of benches already in place that any further seats should be in place of an old undedicated seat or one which had fallen into disrepair. The Trustees who carry out the Trusts risk assessments will advise the Clerk if an existing bench could be replaced, after their inspection later in April. The WI have requested permission for WI stalls on Norfolk Day, 27th July and also on 11th August. Permission was given with a request for a donation towards the upkeep of the Common. Upper Common: All is well here, the grass has already had its first cut and the beech screen may need trimming, this will be inspected. The tree planted in memory of Joe Chapman was reported to be in ‘poor shape’. This will be inspected and replaced if necessary. Currently there is nothing more to report for this area at present. Ling Common: It had been noted that a tree on the hedge-line has split; this will be inspected during the next risk assessment later in April. There is currently nothing further to report.

Roys donate £500 to Coltishall Primary School….

Coltishall Primary school approached Roys with a request for a donation towards a £5000 target for an outdoor learning and wildlife area. The school’s aim is to develop a multitude of skills delivered outdoors, all which have proven benefits to children, along with opportunities to the pupils and community, especially to those that come from less privileged backgrounds. Roys of Wroxham Store manager Darren Coles met with 5 of the schools “Eco warriors” and Annabel Goodman from Coltishall Primary School to present a cheque for £500 in a morning assembly. Darren explained to the children about many of the charities Roys supports and how happy he was to be helping such a worthwhile project. Daren Coles, Store manager at Roys of Wroxham said “It was great to meet with the children and staff at Coltishall Primary School to present them with the £500 donation. We are very happy that we can help with this project within our local community. We hope the school is successful in raising the rest of the funds they need to complete the work for their outside learning area.” “We are extremely grateful for the generous donation made by Roys towards our outdoor learning. This project Darren Coles- Roys of Wroxham store manager, Annabel means a great deal to the teachers and children in our Goodman- Coltishall Primary School. Pupils from Coltishall school. We greatly value outdoor learning and want to create areas within our school grounds that teach respect for wildlife, curiosity in the natural world and offer quiet areas for reflection.” Mrs Ward, Deputy Head. If you are a charity or good cause local to a Roys store and are looking for funding for a project then please contact Roys at [email protected].

It was a wonderful occasion as His Royal Highness Prince Edward met with children, staff and volunteers at the Horstead Residential Centre on May 10.

Arriving at the Centre to mark 50 years of service to the young of people of the and beyond, Prince Edward was greeted by Diocesan Secretary Richard Butler.

Before moving on to meet children who were staying at the centre and its members of staff, The Earl was introduced to the Chairman of Broadland District Council Councillor Barry Leggett, Mrs Judy Leggett, The Rt Revd Jonathan Meyrick, Chair of Trustees for the Horstead Residential Centre Mr Christopher Lawrence, and Horstead Centre Manager Mrs Josie Barnett.

From his initial introductions Prince Edward met some of the children who were busy making pilgrim bread and tasting popcorn, and who were also keen to say how they had made it, how long it took and what it tasted like.

Children were also keen to tell the Prince of the other things they had done during their stay at the Centre such as rock climbing, going on the zip line, dressing up as pilgrims and showing the amulets that they had made. Moving on into the lounge, Prince Edward was introduced to trustees and staff of Horstead and presented Mrs Elaine Cissell and Mr David Pearson with awards for their long service to the Centre.

A special prayer, written by Bishop Jonathan, was also read out by one of the children: “May the God of adventure guide you on the zip wire of life, inspire you to new heights and goals, guide you through the difficult currents and bends of the rivers you travel on and fill you with the blessing of his love. Amen.”

Prince Edward said: “It’s a great delight to be back here again and to be a part of your celebrations for your 50th anniversary. Congratulations on all of the work that you do and please do keep up this fantastic work.”

Christopher Lawrence said: “Can I say on behalf of all the trustees and staff here at the Horstead Centre, thank you so much for coming back. Over the last five years since you last came, we have thrived - so if we could persuade you to come back in another five years, that would be great. But, it does mean so much to us for you to come here. Thank you very much.”

Many of you may know Islay as the Border Collie who waits patiently, and in hope that you will retrieve her well- worn yellow tennis ball from outside her gate in Anchor Street. On your return, you're likely to be asked to retrieve it again ... and again, and again. But did you know that Islay also helps her best friend and owner Ann, deliver the Marlpit so that you can read all the news about the village in which you live? We first met Islay when she was just a puppy and immediately fell in love. She is clever, loyal and loving. Everything a best friend should be!

A wonder of our coast in Norfolk are the beautiful Grey and Common seals. You have probably seen quite a bit in the media this winter regarding seals being hurt or injured by litter such as plastic and frisbees. Here at Westover we are fortunate to be able to assist local wildlife rescue charities in treating these animals. Many of us walk our coastline and as a result will be lucky enough to have encounters with seals on our way. Although it is fundamentally important to respect them and keep your distance, there are things to look out for that may help if they are injured or unwell. Here are a few pointers that may help you if you should come across a seal whilst out walking. Is the seal aware of your presence and moving? If not, then phone a charity for advice. Is there any obvious bleeding or wounds? If so, then phone a charity for advice.

If there is a blue spot on the back end of the seal this usually means a warden has been out and checked the seal. There is no need to call anyone as its under surveillance. Keep your dog’s well away from the seal! Particularly in areas where there are often seals present it is vital to keep your dog on a lead to avoid injury to either them or the seal. If there is netting or plastic stuck around the seal call a charity for advice. Do not force the seal to go back into the sea (they like to rest on the sand, and they can drown if forced back into the sea). We work closely with local charities who can give help and advice so here are some contact phone numbers should you ever need them: Marine and Wildlife Rescue 01692 650338, Wildtouch 07765 345441, RSPCA 0300 123 0709 and BDMLR 01825 765546.

We refer to the Bure Valley Wildcats – who won their great Cup Final in May - the Norfolk Women's and Girls Football League Cup in the u9s category. The teams in their league they beat were Waveney Wildcats, Waveney Foxes, Gorleston Emeralds, Cawston Red Rose and Wymondham.

Coaches Ted and Emma McCarter told The Marlpit: “Our Team Captain was Amelie Holden. All girls are the same age 8/9. The prize was the trophy plus winners medals all round. Ted and Emma’s brief words on the “history” of the girls’ team in on the next page.

Here is Ted’s match report:

On Saturday 12th May our u9 girls team were in the League Cup Final against Waveney Wildcats from Oulton Broad. The final was held at Youngs Park in .

The girls have had a fantastic first season together only losing one match playing some brilliant football. They reached the final after coming top of the qualifying group.

The eight players in the team, Jasmin Schofield… Swanton Abbott Primary… Ruby Howlett… Swanton Abbott Primary

The game itself was a fantastic advert for girls football. A bumper crowd attended to cheer the girls on. The girls league made it very professional with changing rooms, a walk out to Blurs Song 2,a programme and top officials.

The girls started strongly with Layla Earl causing havoc from the off. The Waveney goalkeeper was having a busy game and made some tremendous BURE saves. The Kittens took the lead when Sienna Cattano smashed in an absolute rocket from the VALLEY half way line, an amazing goal. Shortly after Amelie Holden made it 2 nil. The Wildcats from WILD Waveney nicked a goal back before halftime to CATS make the score 2-1.

The second half was breathtaking, nerve wracking and very exciting to watch. Layla added a third to increase the score to 3-1,Waveney weren't finished Team captain Amelie Holden with the Cup. and pulled another back, 3-2.

20 Congratulations you Under Nines!

Finally, we'll be looking for some new ladies for next season. If we have any ladies out there that would be interested in joining us please drop me a message on the above number.

As always new members are very welcome in all age groups regardless of ability. You can be assured of friendly welcome.

That's all for now, many thanks for reading and I'll see you again next month.

Cheers Ted Chairman

The eight players in the team, Jasmin Schofield… Swanton Abbott Primary… Ruby Howlett… Swanton Abbott Primary

The game went from end to end in a pulsating finish. Could The Kittens hold on? A Waveney attack, a long shot flying towards the top of The Kitten net... Magnificent save from Jasmin in goal. Final whistle.. We'd done it!

An amazing achievement from our girls. BURE League Cup Winners 2018/19. VALLEY In other news... Our Wildcat Centre also started on Saturday 12th May on Rectory Rd. WILD Really pleased with the attendance, loads of CATS new girls giving football a go for the first time. Any girls aged between 5 and 11 are still welcome to come along on a Saturday morning between 1030 and 1130. You can always contact me on 07760 424264. Lexie Witton punches the air with Layla Earl and Lyla Brooks. 21 Ted McCarter and wife Emma, also Summer Rogers coached the under Nines to success… and here is more on the history of their Bure Valley Youth Football Club:

Bure Valley YFC was formed in 2015 with just two girls teams, u15 and u16. We had been training at Coltishall Recreation Ground after noticing the facilities weren't being used after Colt Jags folded. With the support of CAST and the parish council we have transformed the recreation ground and clubhouse from a semi derelict building into a new, clean and fresh facility. A grant from the parish council plus another from Aviva enabled us to fit a new kitchen to the property, this allows us to run our cafe on a Saturday morning to provide hot food and refreshments, a easy way to raise funds for the club.

Over the last two years growth has been rapid. New teams have been formed with girls joining us from all over and Broadland. This season we have had u9, u10, u11, u12 and u13 girls plus an u12 boys. Our Ladies team is still going plus we offer mini kickerz for both boys and girls aged 3 to 6. More teams will be entered into the 2019/20 season.

We recently started our Wildcat Centre sessions on a Saturday morning, this is aimed at girls aged 5 to 11, to get them to try football and maybe continue with us after the 16 week course.

The club ethos is very much focused on FUN and ENJOYMENT. We are not a win at all costs club. New members can be assured of a very warm friendly welcome, the club is very family orientated.

All of our coaches buy into the club ethos. The aim is to not only provide opportunities for kids to play team sport but also to grow them as people, to give them confidence, make new friends etc.

My wife Emma and I probably dedicate too much time to the club but we love it. Luckily we have supportive coaches and committee members to help us out. When we started out we never envisaged such a rapid rise, it turns out its quite popular.

With the women's world Cup this summer I'm sure that will result in more girls giving the beautiful game a go, Bure Valley YFC is here ready and waiting.

Bure Valley Youth Football Club

22 23 For the Reserves again there was only one winner Wroxham Football Club with ‘keeper Ryan Howard receiving the awards of Player’s Player and the Manger’s award.

There was another Awards day for our Junior Section Trafford Park, Skinners Lane, Wroxham on Cup Final day after these notes were produced.

The 1st team ended the season with a flourish following two away wins as they defeated main local rivals Norwich Utd 2-0 and followed up with another excellent return at Brantham with a 3nil win. This meant we finished the season in 7th place in the Eastern League and were the top placed Norfolk team. This was a distinct improvement on the previous season but could have been better still but for some inconsistent results against sides who finished below us.

The Reserves finished in 11th place in the Anglian Combination Premier Division showing some excellent progression throughout the season. We had 8 U18 players who were regular starters in the team and several of them had opportunities with the 1st team. There were also three players involved with the Norfolk u18 youth squad who got to the final of the National County youth competition before losing to Manchester. We lose some of the players next season and will look to regroup from another progression of young players from our Development side and our Academy.

The end of season awards for the senior teams took place in the clubhouse on Sat 10th May with a good attendance. A full list of recipients with photos (courtesy of David Pye) are shown on the adjoining pages. The main winner for the 1st team was Sonny Carey, who swept the board and had an outstanding We are now preparing for next season which will season.
