At this time of theAID year, in rural AFRICAMalawi, so many are hungry, UPDATE…. but last week hundreds received maize, soya meals and soap to help them through to the next harvest. Families within our ‘target group’, those caring for orphans, living with disabilities, the elderly, or AIDS-affected, thronged to our site early in the morning to patiently wait their turn to receive. At that point, life became vastly different, and hope restored. In Mthowa Village, life has changed in another way, the Community Centre we built is now the new social hub of the area, providing superb facilities for education, health checks, civic meetings and social events. And it all started with a little nursery school, with 41 children from 4 villages, taught under blue gum trees, by 5 voluntary teachers. They had no resources or building for security, or to protect the kids from the rains, so thanks to the generosity of Holt & district supporters, we were able to help. This amazing Community Centre was just one of three we built last year (2018), in addition to three bridges, three houses for the frail, and over 50 roofs destroyed by storms. We repaired 19 boreholes bringing safe, local water back to about 20,000 people, sponsored 106 children in secondary education, and gave out small business loans to empower people with the opportunity to work their way out of poverty. Elderlies Luncheons were prepared every fortnight, our goats’ milk and phala (fortified porridge) distributed to vulnerable babies, we gave out male goats from our dairy herd and continued to urgently plant trees for fuel, green manure (to improve crops) and nutrition. Apart from food, we continue to help local people in distress, funding emergency medical/dental treatment and transport, funeral help, sleeping mats, primary school uniforms, vegetable seeds, and we gave out over 500 pairs of glasses along with knitted blankets and jumpers. We’re not reporting all this to ‘blow our own trumpet’ but to show the life-changing impact that we can bring about together when resources are carefully invested with wisdom and local knowledge. If you’d like to help us continue, please make a point of bringing in donations to the shop, either monetary or goods for sale. We’re urgently in need of both, and warmly invite you to join us in changing the lives of some of the poorest people on the planet! Thank you for your help and support! Using Amazon ?

Bakers & Larners of Holt www.bakersandlarners.co.uk 8-12email: MARKET [email protected] PLACE, HOLT, NORFOLK,8 NR25The Holt 6BWChronicle t: Issue 01263 419 8th 712244 February 2019 HOLT WI NOR’EASTER MEETING Holt WI recently hosted a meeting for the Nor’easter group of WIs, when representatives from five local WIs came to an illustrated talk held in Holt Community Centre. Simon Kinder, Head of the History Department at Gresham’s School, came to speak about ‘North Norfolk-England’s Achilles’ Heel?’. The North Norfolk coast has always been recognised as being vulnerable to invasion. The Romans knew the area, Queen Elizabeth 1 planned an extensive defensive fort to be built on the coast at Weybourne. Napoleon considered this area for an invading army, when we know the only defence at the time were two rusted old cannon at Cromer. Even Hitler knew of the suitability of the area for a landing site, due to the depth of the sea and the availability of extensive accessible shallow sandy beaches. Happy Moving on from the geographical disadvantages of the area Simon then talked about other influences in more modern times. ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ by Erskin Childers, published in 1903 is an early example of the espionage novel and was extremely influential at the time. Erskin had a son at Gresham’s and was so well known and liked he used to land his plane on the First X1 cricket pitch. ‘The Invasion of 1910’ by William Le Queux a journalist was serialised in the Daily Mail and sent a very strong message of ‘Be ready .. the Germans are coming’. Because of these publications, local people became very suspicious of anyone with a foreign accent. Sir Edgar Speyer was an extremely Valentine’s successful businessman and philanthropist but he had been born in Germany. He financed the London Underground and saved the Proms from collapse and had built ‘Sea Marge’ at Overstrand, but at the start of the 1st World War it was said the tennis courts were spaces for Zeppelins to land and the Underground had tunnels Day full of German soldiers. So he became an object of suspicion and harassment and had to leave the country. This was later recorded in the book ‘Speyers - Banker, Traitor, Scapegoat, Spy?’. It is also said that a Mr and Mrs Dodds, who spoke with a German accent were arrested at Weybourne Mill and never seen again! Mr Kinder also outlined the role of Donald McClean, one of the Cambridge Five spies, who had attended Gresham’s School and was recruited by Arnold Deutsch when he was at Cambridge University. Others who had attended Gresham’s and became spies or double agents were Ken Cross, Bernard Flood, Peter Flood and James Clubman, the latter being responsible for turning many students to be pro-Communist and who started the first National Teacher Union at Gresham’s. So it can be seen that some of those who were educated in North Norfolk also posed a threat to England. This was a fascinating and very detailed illustrated talk which is hardly given due credit in this piece. I would highly recommend if you have a chance to attend this lecture yourself ... take it!

Valentine was one of the many early Christians who were persecuted and killed because of their faith in Jesus. He was martyred in Rome in A.D. 269.

Our aim is to deliver an outcome which causes the least amount of distress in what is already a traumatic situation. The end of a relationship can be devastating, and no matter who ended it or when, life can feel empty and frightening - but life does continue and many people go on to live happy, fulfilled lives after divorce. That’s why we keep our clients focused on the future, encouraging them to avoid negative emotions and think practically about the potential outcomes. The lawyers in the Family Services department at Hayes + Storr are members of Resolution, a national organisation of family lawyers committed to non-confrontational divorce, separation and other family problems. Our team is guided by Resolution’s conciliatory and person-centred approach, including: • Helping clients focus on what’s important in the long-term • Balancing financial and emotional costs with what the client wants to achieve • Working with others to find the right approach and the best solutions • Managing stress in what can sometimes be a very stressful situation Not only does this practical approach facilitate our clients’ ability to cope, it also ensures costs are kept as low as possible, avoiding entrenched arguments that have no resolve. Our goal is to help clients adapt to their new situation and look for alternative solutions to court proceedings, avoiding unnecessary stress, costs and delays. If you’re concerned about yourself or anyone else going through divorce or separation, we recommend visiting the Relate website at www.relate. org.uk for lots of helpful resources, and don’t forget you can call the Samaritans free of charge at any time on 116123. They offer 24/7 support every single day of the year and you don’t have to be suicidal to get in touch. You can also get a referral from your GP for free counselling sessions on the NHS. A break-up can be hard to manage, so speaking with health professionals to develop coping strategies can be very helpful.

IN NORTH NORFOLK Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) is pleased to announce the setting up of two new RDA Groups too HOT in summer & too COLD in winter? covering the wider North Norfolk Area. At RDA, our horses and ponies provide therapy, achievement and enjoyment to people with disabilities all over the UK. Our network of 500 volunteer groups organise activities such as riding, carriage driving, vaulting and showjumping to over 25,000 Your local professional in Conservatory Roof Replacement can help people each year. Now riders in the North Norfolk area will have the opportunity to choose between two newly created groups. Norfolk Coast RDA is based at North Norfolk Riding Centre, Walsingham and Worstead and District RDA rides at Squirrelwood Equestrian Centre, Hall Farm, Worstead. Specialists in erection of new conservatories with over 26 years experience... Peter Tobitt, Norfolk County Chairman for RDA commented: “It is so exciting to see the expansion of riding opportunities in this geographical area. The two new Groups are run by trustee boards and volunteers with a wealth of experience who are looking to expand the possibilities for their riders. I am confident that each Before After Group is now ideally placed to achieve this and help even more riders achieve their goals.” Previously the whole area was served by one group, North Norfolk RDA, which operated very successfully for 43 years from a number of riding stables, most recently Squirrelwood at Weybourne. Adult and child riders came from various special needs schools and care facilities as well as on a private basis. Now the same trustees and experienced volunteers who ran North Norfolk RDA have taken the positive step to turn one group into two – enabling them to support a much wider area. Existing riders have already been accommodated at the new groups, which are also seeking new riders. Each RDA Group is entirely staffed by unpaid volunteers and they hope to recruit more volunteers to help with this very rewarding equine therapy which benefits the riders so much in so many ways.

FLY-TIPPING OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE RESULTS IN A BILL OF £1,557 North Norfolk District Council brings successful prosecution over dumped rubbish A Norfolk resident has been ordered to pay more than £1,500 in fines and costs after pleading guilty to fly-tipping. Shane Bocking, of Sedgeford Road, Snettisham, had left household rubbish, including bin bags, in an open, green space in Wells Road, Hindringham. He was taken to court by North Norfolk District Council for the offence, which was committed on or before 4th January. On 24th January, Norwich Magistrates’ Court fined Bocking £100.00 and ordered him to pay prosecution costs of £1,327.58, clean-up costs of £100.00 and a victim surcharge of £30.00, a total of £1,557.58. Cllr Sarah Butikofer, Leader of North Norfolk District Council, said: “Fly-tipping simply will not and cannot be tolerated and I am delighted to see another successful prosecution that shows that we will continue to tackle this issue and take action against those who choose to blight the district in this way. People seem to think they can get away with dumping waste, without a second thought to the effect it has on the environment, and that is exactly why we will continue to prosecute those who we have evidence against that commit this crime.” The case was brought ahead of this week’s launch of a Norfolk- wide anti-fly-tipping campaign, SCRAP. The campaign is being backed by local authorities across the county, as well as by the police, the Environment Agency, the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA). email: [email protected] 24 The Holt Chronicle Issue 419 8th February 2019 A Family Run Business Est 1980 Domestic/Commercial contracts welcome • Tar & Chip • Tarmac All at very competitive prices with a reliable and friendly service.

KELLING PROBUS CLUB The chairman welcomed 14 members, together with Terry Cutler, guest of Tom Henshaw and Peter Wenham as our guest speaker. Peter Wenham, Chairman of Trustees, informed members about the purpose and activity of the Cromer and District Food Bank. Peter was only 14 when he left school to train as a junior electrical engineer. His work took him to Scotland Yard and to British Aerospace, where as Plant Engineer, he supported the production of guided missiles. Later he joined local authorities as Director of Commercial Services, before finishing his career as a self employed Consultant. When he moved to Cromer 10 years ago his initial intention was to work with young people on the streets, but quickly discovered that this was a rather less pressing problem in North Norfolk than it had been in Hertfordshire. He then turned his attention to the requirements of the homeless, working in Norwich with the Salvation Army and then with the local Cromer Food Bank. I sw Jaas naduvaisryed a t go oobotda itnim ate le taos ts tewllo? Foodbanks first appeared in Salisbury in 2000, but now there are more valuations before selling my property, than four hundred such Foodbanks, with twelve hundred outlets, all associated with the Trussell Trust. yet I have been given two different Foodbanks exist to help people with real crises in their lives. Fourteen values. What should I do? million people in the UK live below the poverty line, suffering acute food shortages due to redundancy, bereavement, benefit changes and delays, relationship breakdown and low pay. Recipients of food require valid vouchers obtained from such agencies as Churches, Housing Departments, Social services and the CAB. Food banks are not judgemental or discriminating but do take steps to prevent misuse. The service is administered from Cromer Methodist Church and has outlets in Sheringham, Holt, Stalham, North Walsham and Aylsham The public donated 36.5 tonnes of food in 2017/18, assisting nearly four thousand people, including twelve hundred children. Demand for help from Foodbank is increasing year on year and shows no signs of reducing. Peter described many heartbreaking stories that underlie the need for support and explained the reticence and embarrassment, experienced by those forced to use Foodbanks. Foodbank also has the ability to assist with energy bills and Signposting Clients to other vital services. Peter reported that currently the greatest need is for financial support for the food bank, which has a turnover of almost sixty thousand pounds a year, the finance is necessary to cover operational costs, including Project Managers salary, rent and utilities at the church and also essential transport. The day to day work is undertaken by over 100 volunteers, and anyone who feels that they may be able to help may contact Foodbank on 07826 376343. The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks and congratulated Peter on his most interesting and thought provoking presentation. The next meeting will be on Thursday 15th February at the Dales Hotel. The speaker will be Chris Bell of Weather Quest.

The Advanced members and the Novices each could submit an image in each of two named subjects, Curves and/or Lines and People. From the 9 entrants in the Novices’ Lines/Curves contest, Joan selected ‘Take a Seat’ (photograph, bottom) by Clive Matthews as the winner, Barrie Price coming second with ‘Circular Reflection’ being runner-up and ‘Holt who goes there’ by Colin Horwood third. In the ‘People’ Novice competition, Hanne Seibers won with ‘Nigel’ (pictured, below), followed by Clive Matthews with ‘For the Sweat on my Brow’ and third was Barrie Price’s ‘Viewing the Flames, Tower of London Moat’. 19 Members entered the Advanced Lines/Curves competition which was THAT’S LIFE! won by Malcolm English More true life experiences with ‘Mood Indigo’.

Edited by Lilias Rider-Haggard, illustrated by Edward Seago, it is the narrative of a fly-by-night whose name BUILDERS was later established as Frederick Rolfe. Thousands of lurchers must have Small Family Business with traditional values been bred as a result of the perceived romance in the life of this reprobate. One of the tools of the poacher’s craft was the lurcher. Rolfe calls this the Trading locally for over 30 years Norfolk (or Smithfield) lurcher and says that it was a cross between the Smithfield cattle dog (to give it ‘sagacity’) and the greyhound which gave it speed. The poacher would set his long net downwind from where hares and rabbits were feeding, the dog would do a circuitous outrun and then quarter back towards the net driving the rabbits toward the net where the master would dispatch the coneys as opportunity demanded. The Smithfield collie was a drover’s dog and, when droving fell by the wayside, that particular herding dog became extinct. Rolfe’s book never died, however, and reading it as a child I became fascinated by the identity of the Norfolk lurcher of his story. The project was to have the happiest of conclusions a few years ago. I was gazing through a collection of photographs at St Andrews Church, Northwold when I came across one of John Curry warrener of nearby Foulden taken around 1900.* There, in a trap, dickey (donkey) in shafts, FOR ALL YOUR BUILDING REQUIREMENTS sat the stout John Curry, right-arm over his ferret box.
