It was during this process that farm worker, Raymond Williamson’s ploughshare uncovered a large metal object. Assuming that it was part of an old brass bedstead, he placed it on the edge of the field where it lay for several days. Experts from Norwich Castle Museum were only contacted after more artefacts were uncovered. They immediately identified them as Iron Age torcs made from gold. Williamson’s discoveries had already become known as the Snettisham Treasure when two years later ploughman Tom Rout unearthed another torc. This torc was massive – a whole kilogram of expertly-crafted gold. Now known as the Great Torc, it is on permanent display at the British Museum in London. Over subsequent decades, a dozen or so major finds were made in the area.

TS Unfolding disaster in Malawi
Cyclones have ripped through southern Malawi during the past few days, leaving homes, crops and infrastructure devastated. Malawi’s President has declared a “state of disaster”, and brought in the military to assist those trapped and displaced by the high winds and flooding. Up to now, 28 people have lost their lives, and in our district alone, 5000 households are affected, about 25,000 people are in need of help…. Our guys report the local loss of many houses, outside kitchens & toilets, and other essential buildings. Precious food reserves have been swept away in dirty water, and critically, crops almost ready for harvest, have been smashed down. The need is for safe shelter, water purification materials, and especially food. Even before this disaster, our area was precariously balanced on the edge of acute hunger, desperate for the next maize harvest to release food back into the communities.
There are immediate needs—temporary shelter, food, clean water, and access to medical help—but what follows in future months will be the gradual rebuilding of a society already stressed by poverty and lack. We're working on emergency food and other items, but one of the chief concerns is disease spreading as so many toilets have been lost. Not a glamorous subject perhaps, but we want to begin by digging new latrines and providing a privacy shelter for hundreds at risk. We'll be looking at other issues, but just at the moment, this is an urgent project that we need your help with. Each simple toilet unit - 3m-deep pit, covered, housed within a bamboo-framed "hut" for privacy, with roof lined with plastic sheeting, and walls/roof covered with grass provided by the beneficiary - would replace a collapsed facility at the home of a vulnerable family. Each would cost just £19.75 and would be expected to last at least a few years, thus greatly reducing the risk of life-threatening disease. Could you help?

How must he grieve for those who meet their death on the streets of our own cities as a result of knife crime?

Norfolk County Council’s Policy and Resources Committee will be asked to approve £212,500 of capital contribution funding for the 2.32 acre extra care site in Fakenham which will be located next to the Fakenham Medical Centre. This investment is match funding in partnership with North Norfolk District Council. Construction of the Living Well Homes could begin as soon as Spring 2019. This is part of the County Council’s £29m capital investment scheme to deliver 3,000 extra homes for older people in Norfolk over the next ten years. Extra care housing (ECH) schemes are made up of flats that are rented or owned by individuals. At present, these homes are available for people over the age of 55 whose current home no longer meets their needs, enabling them to remain independent in their local community. Research has shown that Norfolk requires 2,842 extra care units by 2028. Registered provider Housing 21 will run and manage the scheme comprising 39 two-bedroom flats and 27 one-bedroom flats. Thirty of these units will be for affordable rent with Norfolk County Council and North Norfolk District Council sharing the responsibility for nomination rights. Priority for tenancies will be given to residents of the local district. Andrew Proctor, Leader of Norfolk County Council said: “I am delighted that we are investing in this programme, working closely with developers, housing providers and district, borough and city councils to address future housing demand. “It’s important that we can offer alternatives to residential care enabling people to stay close to their family and friends. Living Well Homes will provide an effective way for people to live independently for longer with the reassurance that, should you need care, this can be provided.” Increasing the provision of extra care housing to match future demand will deliver approximately £4m gross revenue saving per year. Despite a challenging financial environment for Adult Social Services, significant savings have already been made through its Promoting Independence strategy. With preventative initiatives to keep people independent for longer, savings are currently forecast to achieve £0.581m. These include home support and short-term residential support for people discharged from hospital, known as reablement.

Get ready for the Great Big Read at Norfolk’s libraries Readers across Norfolk are being encouraged to rediscover their love of libraries and reading for the Great Big Read 2019 with the help of the World Book Night book list. The reading promotion for adults launches on 18 March and will run until World Book Night on 23 April. The 23 titles will be available at libraries across the county throughout the month and can be reserved online or at your local library, with some also available as e-books and e-audio. The list includes crime thrillers, film tie-ins (Juliet Naked and War of the Worlds), some of the best new novels written for young people (The hate u give and Turtles all the way down) and even a book set in Norfolk by the popular crime writer Elly Griffiths (The Chalk Pit). Readers can add a review or star rating by logging into their online library account once they have read a book. They can also comment, share a selfie with their favourite read or recommend a book to others on the new Norfolk Borrowers Facebook group, or on the Norfolk Libraries Facebook and Twitter accounts, using the hashtags #NorfolkGBR and #WorldBookNight. Councillor Margaret Dewsbury, Chairman of Communities Committee at Norfolk County Council, said: “We’re hoping for this year’s Great Big Read to be the best and greatest yet, and the list of books is fantastic. It also helps to remind people of the brilliant service delivered by our libraries, and all for free.”

At the time of writing thanks to some 60+ generous donors we had generated £5255.00 in pledges, and as some of you may have seen in the local newspaper a very generous offer from an anonymous US donor who is a Spitfire owner has promised to double this. You can find the link to the appeal, the rewards offered, and its latest status at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/langham-dome-spitfire-memorial. Please have a look at the amazing introductory film on the link even if you do not want to pledge - this was made by former Gunthorpe (now Blakeney) resident Barney Broom, and we cannot thank him, his colleague Phillip Mutton and their company Trafalgar Productions enough for their incredibly generous professional support for the appeal. After a very successful pilot project we will start the 2019 season with an iconic selection of eight aircraft prints, “The Langham Dome Aviation Collection”, from local Sheringham based artist Janet Samuel. They will initially be sold in the Dome and Driftwood Gallery in Sheringham, but we hope to have additional outlets later in the year. All profits will support the FoLD charity. The last Lynx included pictures from two of the cards and here are two more. One is the DH84 Dragon which often flies from Langham today, and the other is of a FAA Swordfish - actually the first aircraft (from 819 Sqn) to operate from Langham after it officially opened as an independent unit in July 1942. Planning for the RAF Langham Reunion and Dome Heritage Day on Saturday 1 June 2019 continues to gather pace; although we still await confirmation of our request for Battle of Britain Memorial Flight participation. As usual we plan to have a Grand Draw on the day now with no less than three “equal” aviation related first prizes.

Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios celebrates its 25th year in 2019 One of the most successful Open Studios schemes in the country is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year with more than 430 artists flinging open their studio doors to the public. The 16-day celebration of Norfolk’s artistic community runs from Saturday 25 May to Sunday 9 June. The free event will see artists throughout the county opening their doors to the public to exhibit, sell and talk about their work and practice. Having established itself as one of the largest open studios schemes in the country, it gives visitors the opportunity to see new art, meet artists, and - with many of the works on display being for sale - to buy original artworks directly from their creators. This year 430 artists will be taking part in the scheme across 250 venues. The event annually attracts thousands of visitors and in 2018 more than 36,000 people flocked to studios across Norfolk. Numerous associated trails take place, allowing visitors to enjoy several studios in one day. Art demonstrations, private views, workshops and talks also make up this key event. Internationally renowned artists as well as artists new to the scheme take part each year. Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios 2019 will take place between Saturday 25 May and Sunday 9 June 2019.

Cllr Martin Wilby, Chairman of the Environment, Development and Transport committee, said: “Our popular reuse shops help to make sure good quality items are not thrown away and are given a new home instead. Providing new and bigger reuse shops means we can boost the range and number of things people can donate and buy. It’s marvellous to see how popular the shops are and it’s always great fun to have a look to see what bargains you may find.” The first step is for the current Caister and Dereham reuse shops to be removed and replaced with bigger shops to reflect the growing popularity of the scheme. The new shops will be twice the current size and have more open plan space for larger items. Larger shops will help to increase the reuse of as many items as possible including sofas, bikes, tools and garden ornaments. Caister and Dereham recycling centres will need to close for a couple of hours each for the new shops to be manoeuvred into place. The new reuse shops will reopen a few days after the installation is completed and the shops have been set up ready to open. And with reuse and recycling at the top of the agenda the shops that are currently at Caister and Dereham will be taken away for refurbishment before they are then installed at their new homes at Bergh Apton and Wells later in the year. In 2017/18 the network of reuse shops made a £184,210 contribution towards the £6.5m annual cost of Norfolk’s 20 Recycling Centres. In the same year 833 tonnes of items passed through the reuse shops, an increase of 93 tonnes on the previous year. The £35,000 improvement scheme will take the total number of reuse shops in the county up to 11. Since April 2018 Norfolk's reuse shops have been donating a proportion of their income to the the current chosen charity, the East Anglian Air Ambulance. @ Holt Community Centre To find your local reuse shop visit: www.norfolk.gov.uk/reuseshop We've had a very successful couple of weeks with events at the Community Centre, with a great turn out at our Table Top Sale which Police warning following purse thefts raised good money for the charity, and another super Themed Food Norfolk Police are urging shoppers to be vigilant following a number of Night. purse thefts in recent weeks.

SIDS, formerly known as cot death, is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old. In 2016, the most recent available year for data, there was an 11%* rise in cases of SIDS in the East of England compared with the previous year. Although the cause of SIDS is not fully understood, there is extensive evidence demonstrating that the risk of SIDS can be significantly reduced by following safer sleeping guidance. Chair of the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board, David Ashcroft, said: “Data from 2016 shows that there were 21 deaths from SIDS in our region. We’re working with our partners to try to reduce this number by >c]bigUhgib]c> UUhh increasing awareness of safer sleeping advice so that people are equipped with the knowledge to sleep their baby more safely. “This :Y`Vf][[[[]fV`Y: latest drive to raise awareness coincides with Safer Sleep Week (11-17 March), The Lullaby Trust’s national awareness campaign.

Over the past 128 years the course and club house have changed out of all recognition. With this in mind the club have realised that although, geographically, it represents a large part of Sheringham, there are many residents of the town and surrounding areas who have never visited the club. Hence on Sunday 14th April from 10 am-4 pm they are extending a warm welcome to everyone, young and old to experience everything the club can offer. There will opportunities to have a quick lesson with one of the pros and take them on at “The Dartboard Challenge” or just relax in the extensive club house ,that is available for function hire. All this and a free burger thrown in! If you like what you see ,there is an opportunity to join the club with their ”Get into Golf” membership that introduces you to golf at a level that is not so daunting as a full membership. Gather up friends and family and find out what the real Sheringham Golf Club is about. 128 years has been too long! I was sprawled on the living-room couch watching my favorite show on the Food Network when my husband walked in. "Why do you watch those food shows?" he asked. "You don’t even cook." Glaring back at him, I asked, "Then why do you watch football?" The trouble with jogging is that by the time you realize you’re not in shape for it, it’s too far to walk back. email: [email protected] 39 The Holt Chronicle Issue 422 29th March 2019 New Life Cleaning Ltd Serving the Community with New Life Our Services Professional Reliable Friendly Supply & Fitting Carpets/Vinyls Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Call us on Dry Cleaning of Curtains Stone Floor Cleaning 01263 826996 Gutter Clearance Conservatory Cleaning Internal High Reach Cleaning One-off Deep Cleans Matthew Leonard Thomas Leather Cleaning Perrott Perrott Perrott Dine in style with Mackenzie Hotels x 2 main courses for £14.00 (mid week only T&C apply) x Morning Coffee Cromerx SheringhamAfternoon Tea Holt x Sunday Roast/Carvery from £9.95 x Real Ales and much more.....
