As this Issue is published the 2012 OlympicGames will be starting. After years ofplanning and, it must be said, a huge

amount of money has been spent, the focus willshift from ‘will everything be ready’ tocomparisons with other recent openingceremonies, then, at last, to the achievements ofthe athletes.In the last Issue I commented on the highlyorganised Olympic Torch relay being a good signfor the rest of the Games, only to have the G4Ssecurity debacle emerge a few days later.Fortunately we still have sufficient numbers in theArmed Forces to bolster this woeful privatesector effort. However the important thing is thatserious problems have been uncovered andcorrected before the event. Always better todiscover problems during ‘rehearsals’ than on theopening night or during the run.There can be no doubt that the planning,organisation and running of such a major event isa truly enormous task and inevitably there will bethings that go wrong. Hopefully all will tun out welland undoubtedly those responsible will receivepublic acknowledgement and probably reward.Much closer to home I am struck by the numberof fetes, events, festivals and activities across theCrabline area. They all require organising andmanaging, most by a small number of communityspirited volunteers present in every town, villageor group. They take on tasks that enable the restof us to add enjoyment or provide additionalquality to our lives. The least we can do isremember to say Thank You to them.

This old photograph from 1902 shows a view of Mundesley RailwayStation that was closed in the 1960’s. This view and others ofMundesley and District will be on sale as greetings cards to raise

All welcome at all events

my ears?mrs w mouse says as a lady you should know thatsize doesn't matter. We did look in at your "tee,wee, and barbee" thing. Our fears about all thattea followed by wee were unfounded and it wasgreat fun..

Dear Mr Mouse,I was sorry to hear you have sensitive hearing,it must be those big ears!!Please avail yourself of some ear plugs and joinmyself and many Triminghamites, raising fundsfor our NEW VILLAGE HALL at the PilgrimShelter events.- too many to mention here butsee The Crabline Whats On and Special Eventspages.The lady in the floral dress!!

Dear SirSummer is here and so are the Jet Skiers atMundesley.My elderly husband is in a care home atMundesley overlooking the sea. At weekendswhen the weather is good I am aware of theJet Skiers by their noise and fumes. If thiscarries on my husband and other residents willbe unable to enjoy the garden of the homeduring the summer.When will NNDC take action and stop thisnuisance?

I thought we were trying to encourage visitorsto our beautiful coastline, this will put them offcoming here and also the danger to swimmersand seals.Yours faithfullyRosemary VenablesBacton

Dear Editor, I agree with you (Crabline Issue 249) thatCromer Skateboarders "deserve our respectand every assistance to create the CromerSkatepark" Some considerable time ago, whilst I was inCromer, a group of youngsters were askingpeople to sign their petition for a skate park.I was only too happy to sign but now I see,because of a number of objections, their planswill have to be decided by Councillors on thedevelopement committee rather than beingdetermined by officers. In Mundesley we have a wonderful skateparkthanks to lots of hard work by our Youth andCommunity Group and all their volunteers.The skatepark is in constant use by everyonefrom tiny children with their helmets, whichmake them look like spacemen, to adults(without helmets) and all ages in between.They come with their bikes, scooters andskateboards and we are treated to someunbelievable displays of acrobatics. There are no arguments, these youngsters arethere for the sheer joy of being able "to dotheir own thing".

The only noise you'll hear, if you can call itthat, is chatter and laughter. Its not unusual tohave 30 plus youngsters at any one time whenthe weather allows, and they do not cause anyproblems to people living nearby.. Perhaps the people of Cromer who areobjecting to the skatepark plans could make atrip to Mundesley to see how things workhere. They could make use of the picnic areaand enjoy the outdoor gym - eight pieces ofequipment intended for us older folk althoughnaturally we share this with the children.

It is a fun place to be and I hope the same cansoon be said for the youngsters of Cromer.

Dear EditorI had eight very happy years working in theDay Centre at Benjamin Court, and evenafter retiring I went back as a volunteer tokeep in touch with the client group and tostay in touch with the very friendly hardworking staff who were my work mates overthe years.I am very sad to hear that changes are beingmade to services and that Pat Hambling isleaving at the end of August. I have neverworked with a more committed to her jobcarer than Pat and feel her loss will greatlysadden many many people from Cromer andthe surrounding district.I hope to pop in to say goodbye on Friday31st August and I am sure she would bepleased to see anyone who wants to wish herwell.Hazel KingswoodMarshamBy email

Dear EditorOn Friday June 29th I had a very bad fall in thesunken gardens near North Lodge Park inCromer. Just before I fell I had noticed a groupof people near-by. When I fell they all rushedover and did everything one could hope for insuch a situation. After gently picking me up,sitting me on a bench and tending to mywounds as best they could, they notified theHenry Blogg Museum, where I was due to beon duty. They phoned for a paramedic andstayed with me until he arrived. Theyfollowed that up with a very caring note to mewishing me well delivered to the museum.A sincere thank you to these kind folk and areminder to us all that we can have faith inhuman nature.Sue BlakeCromer

A Sheringham Councillor has welcomedthe news that the Sheringham SkateProject has received an extra £20,000

from North Norfolk District Council and iscalling for more investment for the town.

The move comes after Cllr Richard Smith (LibDem) and supporters of the project raisedconcerns about how the council's Cabinet hadreduced the grant to £10,000 to show'consistency' with other projects in NorthNorfolk. This placed the project at risk asmatched funding from Sport England wasdependant upon the £30,000 grant.The Cabinet has now used cash from the£1.34m that NNDC received from Tesco, inlieu of the demolition of the Lockerbie Flats, togrant the remaining £20,000. Commenting CllrRichard Smith said: "This funding is a welcome

boost for the project and I am glad the Councilhas seen sense to listen to people's views andaward the full £30,000. This will be an excellentfacility for young people in Sheringham."He added "Now that the precedent has beenset to start using the £1.34m from Tesco Ibelieve other projects in the town couldbenefit as well and I will be urging the councilto award more funds. For example, the Westpromenade is in desperate need of funding toimprove infrastructure such as the lights, andfunds could be used to improve the play areaon the Cromer Road which is in a sorry state."

with PC Lorna LawHi EveryoneI had a lovely drive in the countryside this week. While driving I metKayleigh and her Mum out riding. Kayleigh was riding her pony namedRosie. Kayleigh’s Mum asked me to say ‘Thank you’ to all the kindmotorist who patiently waited while Kayleigh and Rosie trotted past.

If you drive past a horse please give it consideration and slow down, donot sound your horn. Riding horses or ponies When out riding yourhorse or pony on the road you should follow the guidelines given by theDepartment of Transport. The information below can be found in thehighway code. Before a horse or pony is taken out on the road you mustmake sure that it is properly shod and the saddle and bridle fit well andare in good condition. Always make sure you can control your horse. Ifyour horse is nervous, ride with other less nervous horses. Before youmove off or turn, always look around to see if it is safe, give a clear armsignal and move off with both hands on the reins. Avoid roundaboutswherever possible. If you have to use one, keep to the left and look outfor traffic coming on to the roundabout from other roads. Signal leftbefore you leave the roundabout.When you lead a horse, always keep yourself between it and the traffic.Make sure other road users can see you by day and night. Fitfluorescent/reflective leg bands and tail guard to your horse and wear afluorescent jacket or belt. It is safer not to ride at night, but if you haveto you should fit a light which shows white to the front and red to therear and you should wear a band on your right arm and/or leg/ridingboot.If you are under 14 you must wear an approved safety helmet whichmust be fastened securely. Those 14 and over should also wear a helmet.Wear boots and shoes with hard soles and heels.Keep to the left.Keep hands on reins unless you are signalling.keep both feet in the stirrups.Do not carry another person.

I’m looking forward to seeing Kayleigh and Rosie next time I’m out onpatrol in the countryside.‘ Bye for nowPC Lorna [email protected] © Elva Gledhill 2012

Surfing in the UK is generally accepted to haveits origins at St Ouens Bay in Jersey and atNewquay in Cornwall in the late 1950s whenSouth Africans and Australians employed aslifeguards brought their boards with them.However letters discovered in Honolulu fromtwo Hawaiian Princes (surfing was created bythe Polynesian culture) proves they and theirEnglish guardian went surfing at Bridlington inSeptember 1890, so the East coast must be thebirthplace of surfing in Britain!

Presenter JuliaBradbury, theNNDC team andvolunteers fromthe town all madea contribution aspaint was scraped,wood sanded andnew paint applied.Julia also producedone of theillustrated panels fixed to the refurbishedshelter. The story is given further local interestin an interview with Cromer resident JeanetteRisebrow, in which she recalls being proposed

to whilst seated in the shelter. Theprogramme led to someresearch into when theshelter and zig-zagslopes were built; mostof the residentsinterviewed agreed itwas just before theSecond World War.Young fisherman DavidHare is filmed at seatalking about how he has joined

the seasonal hunt for crab and lobster. TheCountryfileprogrammealso exploresthe ClementScott andPoppylandconnections.

The weatherwas reasonably co-operative for most of theday but as Countryfile presenters and crewprepared for the final piece of filming, toinclude the Sheringham Shantymen singing, therain began to fall giving the Director and crew

a challenge tocomplete theconclusion oftheprogramme.However theshelter cameinto its ownand filmingwascompleted

successfully.Some timely exposure on a prime TVprogramme will undoubtedly benefit the areaand, subject to any changes in Olympiccoverage, the programme should be on yourscreens on 12th August.

Crabline WordsearchDear Mr h mouseRe your recent visit to Trimingham. Therowdiness you describe in the Pilgrim Shelteris the happy sound of people enjoyingthemselves. I moved to the village a year agoand my husband and I love the real buzz weget from our new friends getting together.A lot of hard work goes into these socialoccasions.As for your comment about the lady in theflowery dress. I find this rather offensive andwould hope that other mice have none ofyour sense of humour.Try to be more positive in the future pleaseor mouse traps may have to be strategicallyplaced !Yours in hopeLiz BowlerTriminghamP.S I am on email but guess you need paperfor nesting purposes.

Outside the Olympic Stadium a Scotsman, anEnglishman and an Irishman want to get in,but they haven't got tickets.

The Scotsman picks up a manhole-cover, tucksit under his arm and walks to the gate."McTavish, Scotland ," he says, "Discus," and inhe walks.The Englishman picks up a length of scaffoldingand slings it over his shoulder."Waddington-Smythe, England ," he says, "Polevault," and in he walks.The Irishman looks around, picks up a roll ofbarbed wire and tucks it under his arm.

"O'Malley, Ireland " he says, "Fencing."
