NR27 9DS From The Editor With the Cromer Carnival behind us now and those lovely children all back at their school or college, it’s time to start our lives again. So what do we do? For most of us it is work as usual, doing what we enjoy, or in some cases not that much, to pay those household bills or are we planning to do something completely different in the future? As of Sept 14th I am off to the land of “the long white cloud”, New Zealand, to visit my old mum. In particular my thanks go to my good lady wife, Lis for putting Now aged 85 young, she’s in pretty the next issue together and also good condition, living by the sea managing the business, phone in Omokoroa in the North Island calls and the queries etc. etc. of NZ, about 100 plus miles while I am away.

We also have patients who because of their illness would not feel confident about being able to travel alone and for some they have not had a holiday for many years. The holiday has been made possible by lots of fundraising over the past couple of years, with a variety of raffles, fetes, stalls & very generous bequests, also fantastic donations Dear Phillip, Dear Phillip, from Sidestrand Church who held a fete & Well I must say judging by the feedback that I had to go into Trunch just before the Music Waitrose, North Walsham who chose us I have had, the Coastwatch “Fun-Day” really Festival, to a good customer of mine and I as one of their charities in June 2014. was a FUN-DAY, enjoyed by all who attended. understand that some of the local residents I would like to take this opportunity on behalf The weather was kind to us but not as kind as are very unhappy with the antics brought of the patients to thank everybody who has the people of Mundesley and North Norfolk on by this festival. helped to make this trip possible. who managed to spend a massive £2945 to I had to go along the Mundesley Road in Kind regards help fund our station for the coming year.

Kicking off on Friday August 22nd and going on until Sunday 24th, TRUNCHONBURY was indeed a great weekend enjoyed by everyone, who either performed or simply turned out. Some 25 bands and acts took part from 6pm on the Friday until after 6pm on the Sunday. While in the Trunch Village Hall, during the festival, everyone was entertained by the Mundesley Players, comedians like Pat Nearney (Below), belly dancers and choirs etc etc. It was a great weekend with over 3,000 tickets being sold in aid of the Mundesley Lifeboat and the Trunch Village Society.

I only had time to join the fun for a short while on Saturday but by all accounts the week- end was enjoyed by everyone who turned up and in many cases camped on site. Editor would like to thank very much Eduardo Garcia for these photographs. PK

I have to say the voice of Cerian Elson, (On Right) was brilliant, as this is the young lady who also appeared in the recent Mundesley Players performance at the Coronation Hall. Aged just 16, she really is a natural performer and delighted everyone on the day. This event which was organised, in the main by John Carpenter, the Chairman of the Mundesley Coast Watch was certainly a great success and enjoyed by all with a good turn out of visitors.

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade… So remember this story the next time … A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: “ Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?” “We’re taking Continental,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!” “ Continental?” exclaimed the hairdresser. Contact us: “That’s a terrible airline.

Rod and his wife Sue will be moving on September 17th into the St Andrew’s Vicarage in Chippenham, Wiltshire. Rod has done a grand job as Rector and his last service reflected this very much from the comments made by every one of the over 200 people who attended both the service in the All Saint’s Church in Mundesley and the lunch afterwards in the Coronation Hall. For someone who is not a regular attender of church services, I found that it was indeed a moving and jolly service enjoyed by those who turned out to support and encourage their out-going Rector. The comments made by Rev. David Bartlett were supported by the whole congregation which was having a dig at Rod and Sue, at this moving service. which was enjoyed by everyone, Everyone enjoyed one of the many gifts including Rod and Sue. given to Rod and Sue, written over Doctor Burford is pictured below with his one of many notice boards. team of some of the jolly choir members.

From Pete’s Pen

The understory trees we planted at the start of the year are flourishing and in a few years will provide a thick understory, ideal for nesting birds. We do need some help to protect these from deer please see below for information. Over 30 bird boxes created by local pupils can be found dotted around the woodlands, which were added fairly late in spring so will no doubt begin to be occupied next year. Finally, we have begun work on building a hide next to one of the ponds where visitors will be able to observe the heron & kingfisher which visit on a regular basis.We just need to add a roof & viewing flap for it to be ready. Future volunteering sessions are: Tuesday 23rd September. 6 - 8:30pm. (Training session) Learn how to record wildlife (butterflies/birds/dragonflies etc) in the reserve Saturday 11th October. 10am - 1pm. (Practical session) Protection of recently planted un- derstory (which is being rapidly nibbled on by deer!) To get involved in this exciting project or have any questions please contact me.
