FROM BEARS TO BISHOPS Swimming lessons before attending church, a roast Sunday lunch followed by an afternoon visit to grandparents, Sunday tea and a visit from great aunts and uncles. It was a day that revolved around the family and a day of abstinence from any unnecessary work and we all benefited from it. We all need time out our daily routine for our own well-being. The pressures of modern living make it even more important that we make time for ourselves and for those whom we care about, a weekly rest day and holidays provide us with that time and benefit us greatly. However, you plan to spend what remains of the summer I hope you can create time to enjoy it and spend time with family and friends. Happy Holidays!

Afterwards, Roy Beckley spoke about the North Norfolk Classic Vehicle Club. Roy who is a founder member of the club, said that the original meeting that led to its formation had been in The Feathers and they now have a strong membership who own some hundreds of classic cars and other vehicles. The question was asked: what is a classic car? The answer is “It depends”! A mass production car would have to be perhaps 25 or more years old, but top notch cars – Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar and so on, can be more recent. The club takes part in a number of events, such as the North Norfolk Railway Vintage Transport Day, Gresham Classic Car Show & Country Fair, Wroxham & Hoveton Scouts Classic Car Show and their own “Show ‘n Shine” at Sheringham Golf Club. The talk was illustrated with photographs shown on a screen. Meetings of Holt and District Probus Club are normally held at lunchtime on the 1st Thursday each month at the Feathers in Holt. Enquiries about membership (or about a trial visit - visitors are most welcome) should be made to Secretary Alan Holmes on 01263 710782. Refer also to https://holtprobusclub.wordpress.com/

I just read a book about Helium. It was so good that I can't put it down.

email: [email protected] 14 The Holt Chronicle Issue 430 26th July 2019 Our latest trip to Malawi…… Not wrestling with mosquito nets in the black of night or checking shoes for scorpions - just some of the more positive points of returning to the UK! However, Malawi’s in a mess. You may remember that Cyclone Idai tore through the country in March, Heavy rains caused massive flooding, many died, well over half a million people were affected, and the President declared a state of emergency. The high winds devastated our area, breaking down homes, destroying outside kitchens, toilets and other essential buildings, and flattened the maize crop, nearly ready for harvest, in the fields. So, we immediately set to work—we distributed emergency food, repaired boreholes to restore clean, safe water to thousands, and built the first 50 toilets for vulnerable families, for health, privacy, and to minimise the possibility of disease. Boys with tyre As time went on, we checked previous projects—all 5 Community Centres still successfully house nursery schools and other events— over 40 families ran to them during the storms and floodwater, in the middle of the night, to seek emergency shelter and safe housing until their own homes dried out and had been patched up. The bridges we built over the years are still in robust condition despite the high levels of water that hammered them during the cyclone, providing safe crossing points for hundreds. But the storms destroyed large swathes of maize—the staple diet—stealing a whole year’s food from desperate people. The usual “hunger time” stretches from Christmas till the next maize harvest in March/April, so we’ve bought in 15,000kgs of maize (basis for 60,000 meals) which will help about 800 people get through that acute period. But with fields devastated by the disaster, so many have already eked out their meagre maize reserves and are now hungry. Would you consider helping them? We can bring in more maize with more resources. Just over £9 will provide the basis for 200 meals and feed a vulnerable family for a month. Sadly, we can’t feed everyone, but we are always keen to help just one more….. Please help us. You can donate by dropping cash or cheque into our shop (see below), transfer electronically via our website: (www.aid-africa.com/donations.html) or contribute via PayPal (using email [email protected]). Together, we can change lives, please partner with us today! And, another way to help those in Malawi—could you spare 3 hours a week to help in our Charity shop in Holt? We greatly value our wonderful volunteers—thank you ladies for your dedication over the years! But if we’re to keep our shop open to support the work in Malawi, we need more help. Please contact us below and ask to speak to Jenny or Jacqui.

Phil joined the lifeboat in July 1967 after he was persuaded to volunteer by his then boss, Sam Abel, who owned a shop and chandlers. Phil said, “He said to me I should do it. “So, when the maroons went off, which was the signal for a launch back then, I ran all the way down to the boathouse from the town and volunteered there and then.” Phil didn’t get on the shout as he hadn’t been trained but it was the start of a volunteering career spanning more than fifty years. Phil, the emergency mechanic on the crew, says, “It probably wouldn’t be possible to be a volunteer for this length of time these days, as you’re supposed to retire now at sixty-five and you can’t join ‘til you’re seventeen at the earliest.” In fact, Phil should have retired already but he keeps having his retirement delayed because of crew circumstances on the station. The most recent was the retirement of coxswain/mechanic, Allen Frary. Before that it was when Allen broke his leg, then again while Nicky King was being trained up as the new coxswain/mechanic. So he has had his time extended again. Being on the crew now runs in the family. Both his son Darren and his granddaughter Angel are on the crew. Darren received a letter of commendation for his part in rescuing dinghy sailor who’d capsized in blustery conditions in Burham Overy Harbour in 2010. Phil will receive a 50 Year service badge which is to be presented to him by RNLI’s chief executive, Mark Dowie at the 150th Anniversary of the RNLI in Wells. Phil was also invited to the Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace where he met the Duke of Kent who is Patron of the RNLI. Phil was allowed to take one guest, so he chose his granddaughter Angel to accompany him. Phil said, “It was a great occasion, even though it rained, it didn’t spoil things.” He said, “it was so well organised, there were seven thousand people there. It was amazing.” Lifeboat Operations Manager, Chris Hardy, said, “It’s right Phil should be honoured. He is the backbone of the crew and can always be called on when there’s an emergency. It’s amazing to think he been on the crew for a third of the time there’s been an RNLI Station in Wells.” Also honoured at the 150th Anniversary Celebrations will be Fred Whittaker who will be presented with his 40 Year Service badge and Martin Emerson who will be presented with a 20 Year Service

badge.

He reflects on the words of Paul Harris, founder of Rotary In- ternational in the 1920s, who said “We live in a changing world and Rotary Uˆ¤öèéêîëïéëñîî must change with it.” Greg challenges Holt Rotary to invite 8 new mem- ªs˜¤ö–±¤È's¾«±¤„¢ˆÝÂü±ª bers and raise £5000 during his year in the chair. Quite a task! But know- ing what local Rotarians can do when challenged, they will be up for it. The last time Rotary in the area faced a challenge it came from Sir Norman Lamb at a Community Lunch and the result was that Holt Rotary was in- strumental in raising over £25000 to help fund specialist Admiral Nurses working in North Norfolk.

The data, collected by the Royal College of Physicians, shows that the East of England healthcare system is struggling to with recruitment. Over half (51%) of the advertised consultant posts in the region did not result in an appointment; while 58% of consultants reported encountering rota gaps as there were not enough trainees. Sir Norman raised his concern that, as well as facing a short term recruitment crisis, there is a great challenge to come over the next two decades – the figures show that 37% of East of England consultants will reach the planned average retirement age over the next decade while 45% will reach the age of 60. Sir Norman Lamb, MP for North Norfolk, commented: “There is clearly a mountain to climb. It takes a considerable amount of time to train medical students up. That we are already facing challenges in terms of recruitment shows that we have to take drastic action to fix the workforce crisis. Worryingly, there is a crisis in the here and now but also the big threat of this deteriorating in the future. I have written to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, asking him to lay out what steps he is taking to solve this workforce crisis. We need to be taking action now.”

Burnham Market Craft Fair The Burnham Market Craft Fair (which is now its 44th year) will be held on Saturday 17th August 2019. This popular event, which is fundraising for the community, is entirely run by local volunteers. Funds are raised by stallholders contributing 10 per cent of their takings. Profits are donated to local charities and good causes. This year's craftspeople have been selected from nearly 200 applications and have been hand-picked for quality and variety. Traditional, local and regional crafts will be displayed alongside items by local artists, designers and artisans on over 100 stalls in the centre of the village, on the greens, from 10.00am to 5.00pm. Stalls include original art, jewellery, plants, textiles, ceramics, cards, woodwork, pottery, basketwork, sculpture, furniture, glassware, photography, aromatherapy, leather-craft, metalwork and more. There will be a traditional Hog Roast and a Punch and Judy Show will entertain children throughout the day. There are several refreshment stands, plus tea and cakes at St Mary’s Church, Westgate and of course, the permanent good eateries and specialist shops that make up this charming and attractive village. Ample parking is available in the new North Street car park, on the Creake Road Playing Field, or why not come into the village on the Coasthopper bus?

 PHILATELIC SOCIETY On July 8th, the Society met for an “in house” evening of displays. 4 members each volunteered to put together 40 sheets from their own collections and to show these to fellow members. Jane Purkiss started things off with pages illustrating the travels of James Cook, the 18th century explorer. Stamps and First Day Covers showed his ships, navigation instruments, places he discovered or called into en route for provisions, and portraits of Cook. Many countries, connected to his origin and travels, have produced phila- telic items in his honour. Society secretary Jim Farrell came next, with a display of recent Irish issues, from 2012 to 2018. These included commemorative stamps of the sinking of the Titanic, of Bram Stoker, (the author of Dracula) and of the 1916 Irish Rebellion. We learned that definitive, self adhesive stamps are now produced on a roll and can be issued from a machine at any value from 1 cent up to 100Euros. Tony Taylor started the second half of the evening with material from his specialist subject, the Moroccon agencies. He has moved on from stamps and now studies postal rates, post marks, postal stationary and overprints such as can be found on postal stationary from Gibraltar. He also showed postal stationary from Moroccan hotels, each with their own cachet. The evening was completed with Gerry Smith’s collection of stamps, illustrating the evolution of various joint issues between the countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika (later to become Tanzania), Zambia and Zanzibar, as each became independent.

Upper Sheringham Bells on their way to Dorset We have had a very exciting week here on the North Norfolk Coast – many cars and villagers (and a group of children from the local primary school) were stopped in their tracks when they saw a sight many folk never see and certainly only once in a lifetime – the 6 bells from All Saints Church Upper Sheringham being loaded onto a lorry to start their journey to Nicholson Engineering in Bridport, Dorset. When they arrive at the bell works, they will have restoration work undertaken and a new frame and fixtures and fittings will be made ready for their return later in the year. We are immensely grateful to those who have supported this project either financially or with giving up their time and expertise. We have so far raised around £63,000 of the £80,000 required through a mixture of grants, fundraising events and personal donations.

Back home in Holt, the Club played host to a touring team from Upminster (of District Line fame). On a four day break in North Norfolk, the tourists had matches with three of our local clubs. The event was very traditional - and busy - with no fewer than 56 bowlers on the Green, dressed in bowling “whites”. The home team won, but this was of no consequence on this most friendly social occasion.
