I feel duty bound to make some
comment in response to the letter
from Hazel Patrickson on the next
page in reference to the ABBA
show on the Cromer Pier.
We are quite happy, within reason,
to promote shows on the Pier by
offering free space in our issues
leading up to the shows, in return
for a couple of free tickets.
Does that mean that they, the show
promoters can be guaranteed a
glowing review from us?
No, it doesnt, far from it.
We both enjoyed the show as did
many good people who attended
the evening on the Pier and if we
had not enjoyed it, I would have
said as much.
Enough said, in response, I hope,
as I will never try to upset our
readers for any reason.
Moving swiftly on I will make no
comment in reference to who should
or should not be the Carnival Queen,
as I, Mr Graham, (Letter Below)
did not interview the entrants
as all the judges did.
I do take my hat off to all the girls
and in the case of the Carnival
Prince, the boys, for putting
themselves forward.
I cannot imagine it is a lot of fun
to not be selected by the judges.
The Royal Carnival family really
look a lovely bunch of jolly souls
who will all, I hope, have a great
summer with their numerous
activities during the Carnival.

The weeks leading up to Carnival
Day should be full of fun in the
sun, hopefully.
I would like to pay a special thanks
to Cindy Johnson who went along
with me to two events on Saturday
10th May (See Page 9) I enjoyed
the show at Woodlands as did
everyone who turned up.
One of the main benefts of running
the Crab Tales is working alongside
people like Cindy, Geoff & Dorothy
who between them distribute each
issue every fortnight.
Enjoy Your Crab Tales

Dear Philip,
Since you asked in your last issue, I would
have picked Alice Tiffany as this years
Cromer Carnival Queen.
Call me a rancid, sexist, old dinosaur, but there
is something about good looking blonde
women that makes one glad to be alive.
I bet if you had a cell full of blokes who were
about to meet the fring squad and a blonde
woman walked in and told them she would
be supervising the executions, every man
in the cell would feel a little less upset
about being shot.
Miss Tiffany would have been
a credit to Cromer.
Yours
Philip Graham.

Dear Editor,
Sheringham RNLI held its AGM at the
Burlington Hotel on Monday 28th April.
The event, which was well attended by crew,
committee & members of the public, enabled
the branch committee to summarise the
casualty services and events of 2013/14
and discuss their plans for 2014/15.
The Operations Manager, Mr Brian Farrow,
thanked the Senior Helmsman Mr David
Hagan for the excellent manner in which
Dear Philip,
I would just like to say a huge big thank you to
the kind person who left a Lonely Bouquet on
the bench outside Cromer Church on
Friday 2nd May.
It was such a lovely gesture and since fnding
the bouquet I have since discovered this kind
initiative is worldwide. It certainly put a smile
on my face and the fowers are pride of place
on my dining table!
The next event where people can leave a
Lonely Bouquet is 29th June.
I will certainly be carrying on this lovely idea
and will be leaving a bouquet of my own and
hope that many more people can put a smile
on someone elses face by leaving a bouquet
themselves!
If you would like to fnd out more you can
search for The Lonely Bouquet on Facebook
which is where I found out all about it.
Keep up the excellent work- I love reading all
the local news!
Thank you once again
Kind regards

he had led the crew during the last 12 months.
He said: The Lifeboat had responded to twelve
casualty callouts all of which had been
successfully concluded.
He said the crew were at full complement despite
the diffculties in attracting and retaining
suitable dedicated volunteers for this
exciting but very demanding role.
Branch Chairman, Mr Phil Hawes, praised the
work of the High Street Shop manager, Mrs Anne
Little and Boat House Shop manager Mrs Mary
Blyth & all their volunteer helpers for their out-
standing success in their fundraising efforts
which make such a fundamental contribution
to the stations fnancial well-being.
He also thanked the Treasurer Mr Mick Holford
for his expert management of the branch accounts
and the stations fund raising efforts which had
yet again shown an increase year on year.
The chairman noted that Messrs David Mann
& Trevor Holsey had been awarded the Silver
Badge & 20 year bar to their long service Badges.
Mr Clive Rayment had been awarded his 20 year
bar to his long service medal and Anne Hook
& Billy Thirtle had both been awarded Bronze
badges. Anne for her management of the RNLI
Car Park and Billy for his over 50 years service
to the Sheringham Branch of the RNLI both as
crew member and Branch Committee member.
In summary Mr Hawes said: In such a fast a
changing world it is wonderful to see that the
old fashioned ideas of service and community
are still very active in Sheringham RNLI.
Dear Philip,
Having seen you at the ABBA Thank you For
The Music tribute at the Pier Pavilion I was
wondering what your comments would be.
I can only think that you dont watch many
shows on the pier, if you enjoyed this wait
until you see a GOOD show.
My husband and I go regularly (it was my 3rd
visit that weekend) and always have a really
good time.
Along with several other people around us, we
thought this ABBA tribute was awful.
The frst half sound was not right, they had no
charisma and the vocals were poor.
They sounded like amateurs playing in a local
village hall. You were lucky to have free tickets,
the rest of us had to pay 21.50 for the
privilege of seeing them!

Dear Philip,
I wish to thank all the people who supported us
by coming to the Barn Dance organised by The
Aylsham Christmas Lights Committee to raise
fnance to provide extra Christmas Lights for
the Town.
We all had a most enjoyable evening and the
grand sum of 714 was raised.
I would like to thank all the shops who donated
food for this event and the members of the
Committee who gave home made foods.
Thanks also to Mr. John Starling, Headteacher,
who gave us the use of the Bure Valley School
free of charge, and the many shopkeepers of
Aylsham and again our Committee Members
who gave items for the Grand Raffe.
We had a tremendous number of Prizes.
Finally I must thank all the Committee Members
who helped prepare the Hall and the food on
Saturday afternoon, worked tirelessly during
the evening and cleared up so well with the
help of some of the dancers at the end of the
evening. A tremendous evening.
Well Done.

Lights Community Committee.
Cromer Skate Park
The campaign to build a skate park in Cromer
continues to gain momentum and two recent
events have added signifcantly to the coffers.
On Friday 2nd May, music lovers of all ages
packed into Cromer Community Centre for
a gig by local icons the Sweetbeats.
Photo by Adam Shawyer.
On the Saturday 10th May, around 100 people,
organised into 19 teams came to do battle and
during the interval fsh & chips from Mary Janes
were served, Ben Gasse Coope, Joe Gasse Coope,
Adam Spruce, Zeke & Noah Downes, beetled
round to collect the meals for the quiz teams.
Photo by Jean Spruce.
The nights entertainment raised a proft of 304
towards the campaign, but this was boosted to
531, due to a generous donation of 227 by
Grant Zelos, the owner of Mary Janes.
The campaign is now very close to having the
total funding required, and anticipates being
able to start constructing the skate park
within the next few months.

The three Judges certainly had their work cut out as
every one of these girls was a potential winner.
Cromer and the surrounding area have over
recent years produced many lovely young
ladies for the Judges to select from.
With many mums and dads watching on each of the
girls approached the judges and chatted to them in
while responding to their questions.
Then the Judges all trooped into another room to
make their fnal decision on which of them were
going to become this Carnival junior attendants.
After at least 40 minutes they returned and were
thanked by VEO Chair Tony Shipp MBE, who
also thanked all the contestants and encouraged
them to have another go next year. Finally the
winners were announced as Tasmin Beshir
and Allyse Cook.
Both girls were a delight to meet and
will do a grand job this summer. PK Winners :Tasmin Beshir & Allyse Cook.

themselves forward for this years Carnival
Prince & Princess competition.
The Judges they faced were: (from L-R)
Amy Elizabeth (from her photo studio),
Alli (John Olivers) Laurie (Breakers)
and Emma (The Rose Garden)
Since so many girls & boys had entered
this year, they were reduced to a smaller
selection for the fnal and after around
40 minutes the judges managed to
choose 8 girls to go into the fnal.
(Above Right)
The boys were judged 1st and 2nd
with a joint 3rd. (Below Far right)

Cromer Pier Show
Childrens Auditions
Marlenes School of Dancing was a buzz of
excitement on Weds 7th May with children
from the various dance classes queuing up
to take part in the auditions for this years
Cromer Pier Show which opens on
21st June at the Pavilion Theatre.
Dance school owner Marlene Duniam said:
We are very proud of our long relationship with
this very famous show, over the years it has given
so many of our dance students the chance to
experience the thrill of performing in front of
a live audience and being part of a show.
Many of our students have gone on to work in the
theatre and there can be no better introduction
to working with a professional company than
appearing in the Cromer Pier Show.
This years Pier Show presents an all new cast
in a show that promises the very best in live
variety featuring a rich mix of comedy, music,
song and dance and the visual splendour of
superb costumes and colourful sets.
Asked about the childrens routines for this years
show Marlene would only say that she would be
working with the shows devisor, director and
choreographer Di Cooke and was looking
forward to another great year on the pier.
Marlenes own show Lets Dance has been
staged at the Pavilion Theatre for many years
and fans come to see the show year on year.

Decoy Road
An enjoyable evening was had by everyone who
turned out to enjoy the local band Decoy Road.
A band that I enjoyed very much when I went
along with the Crab Tales Editor, Philip
Keddell to the Northrepps Village Hall
on Saturday May 10th.
The evening opened with the Buddy Holly
number: It Wont Matter Anymore.
The 4 band members gave us a mix of 50s -
60s and country music that involved a good
number of the friends of Northrepps Primary
School dancing along to.
A most enjoyable evening was had by everyone
who also tucked into a delicious buffet and they
all seemed to buy a raffe ticket or three.

Will Reynolds has a presence on stage, he has

relaxed, confdent, professional and
his sincerity is apparent.
The lovely Claire Reynolds looked stunning and
her superb voice is powerful and commanding.
Will Chandler Cliff As If had the house movin
& groovin, his voice and movement are very
much in the same mould as his mentor.
The programme for the evening was very
well organised and delightful.
The atmosphere was charged and the over-

I was very impressed with the large and
tasteful venue. Top Quality.

New To Norfolk
Back on January 27th this year, Faye Bethell
BVetMed CertGP (ExAp) MRCVS, opened
the doors to her all singing and all dancing
new Vets practice on the North Walsham
to Norwich Road.
On the B1150 about 2 miles from Nth Walsham
on the left as you drive towards Norwich.
At the ripe old age of 28, you cannot but admire
and like this young lady, (Pictured Right) who
studied for fve years at the Royal Veterinary
College in London, before spending 3 years
training, whilst working at a local veterinary
practices, obtaining her European GP
Certifcate in Exotic Animal Practice.
This was followed up by working as a locum
in Kings Lynn, Peterborough and Cambridge
for around 2 years before looking into where
she could set up her own practice.
Growing up alongside dogs, cats, sheep, horses
and the odd goat, it is not surprising that Fayes
career path involved animals, but it took a lot of
dedication and imagination, not to mention guts
and determination, to reach the goal of owning
and operating her own independent purpose built
veterinary centre at just 28.
Faye said:If you look at it like that, then its been
a lot of work and effort crammed into just a few
years but I could not have achieved all this
without the help and support of my family
and friends, veterinary colleagues and,
of course, the bank manager.
Working at veterinary practices across Norfolk
& locum work gave Faye great insight into the
professional services pet owners really wanted
and valued and also the specifc needs of the
pets themselves.
As Faye put it: All too often I saw property
that had been converted from previous uses
and offered less than ideal facilities, or found
that out-of-hours critical emergency services
required owners to travel long distances to an
unfamiliar surgery to receive treatment from
unfamiliar vets, who treated conditions without
the beneft of knowing the full patient records.
Add to that the specifc needs of exotic species
(a particular interest and focus for Faye) and
I quickly realised that if I was going to offer
high quality facilities and treatment, then
I would probably need to build my own
veterinary centre from scratch
Land at the family home in North Norfolk was
identifed & although the planning permission
process was arduous, with the help of specialist
Planning & Highway Consultants, permission
to start building was secured, the construction
started and the doors opened in January 2014.
Long hours have gone into identifying the perfect
design and layout which is apparent as you enter
Toll Barn Veterinary Centre.
With a bright, spacious & airy reception, there
are separate waiting areas for cats, dogs and
exotics, avoiding the stress of competing for
the same space, and direct access to any of
3 Consulting Rooms and a Nurse Clinic.
The Pharmacy & in-house Laboratory sit behind
the Reception Area to enable vets and nurses to
work without bumping into each other and the
Centre is laid out to provide a large Prep Area
and Scrub Room leading to two separate
Operating Theatres.
There is a dog ward able to kennel dogs and a
completely separate Cat ward, Exotics Ward
and Isolation Ward.
Faye paid particular attention to providing a fully
dedicated Exotics Ward, complete with vivaria,
oxygen cages and incubator units, and this has
already been well utilised by the increasing
number of exotic species being treated.
At 5000 sq ft, the property is large, the spacious
facilities are fully heated and air conditioned.
There is an enclosed dog run at one end of the
building so that long stay pets can be exercised.
Top of the range equipment is ftted through-
out with a Diagnostic Imaging Suite including
digital x-ray and utrasound scanner etc.
You name it, they have it.

Now it is time to leave my second home for the
last 14 mths with John & Shirley and go off to
the Guide Dogs Training School in Birmingham
for special training, then after another 16 weeks
of training; I hope I have made the grade and
become a Guide Dog, then after 10 weeks of
training I will be paired up to a Blind person
who I will live with and help to get around
everywhere until I retire, I hope I can work
well for them, when I retire I hope to go
back to John & Shirley if my Blind
friend does not need me any more.
Ive overheard Shirley & John talking and they
say Im a very clever girl; good, intelligent and
very fumy. I know they love me and I love them,
but I cant wait until I take the next exciting
step towards learning to be a guide dog.
Comments by my Shirley: Jemima is a ball of
fuff, grown into an intelligent giant of a dog,
she keeps us busy from morningtil night with
her enthusiasm for work and play.
She has given us a better understanding of the
training a guide dog undergoes and the quality
of life someone will eventually gain. Never a
dull moment we dont regret a minute!
Our highly trained and loving dogs help people
with simple everyday tasks that so many of us
take for granted.
With a guide dog by their side mothers with sight
loss can walk their children safely to school, teen-
agers can fnally take those vital steps of indep-
endence and go to the shops on their own for
the very frst time; and many elderly members
of our community whose sight has signifcantly
deteriorated can get out and about and engage
in society rather than being trapped in their
homes alone.
Fundraising is very important, all funds raised
for Guide Dogs are raised through the publics
generosity - legacies, donations & fundraising;
it takes 50,000 to cover the life time cost of
each dog, one very popular way to sponsor a
Guide Dog is to name a puppy.
If you are interested in giving a donation or
sponsoring a Guide Dog please look on the
web site to contact either the head offce or
your local Guide Dog branch.

Thanks to John Morris for sending us
this article and photographs.
All I had to do was be good, friendly, look at
people and smile, John did all the talking.
By January 2014 I had learned many things for
John & his wife Shirley they have helped me to
grow up, learn special words of command, lead
work, getting used to wearing the training coat
so everyone knows who I am & what Im doing.
February 18th two days before my frst birthday
I went for a special meeting at the Breeding Centre
and met up with my Mum Faith and her handler
Dee, it was the frst time I have seen her since
I was 5 weeks old, I was a bit silly and playful,
I can see where I get my good looks from.
There has been another Shirley I have known in
my life, Shirley is my Guide Dogs supervisor
who has made sure that other Shirley & John
have trained me correctly; nice lady, she is a
special friend.
I went to a childrens school in March, to tell
them all about me, but as I can only do doggy
talk John & Ruth who looks after Archie the
stud dog did the talking for me. There were
500 children which is a lot but I thought
they were all very well behaved.
I like playing and having fun; free running with
Nero & Rich, I also went free running with Josie
& Lola who are mum & daughter and are looked
after by Lynne they have all helped me to learn
how to have fun when free running.

Jemima....
....my frst year as a Guide Dog
I was born on February 20th 2013 at 6.30pm
along with 9 brothers & sisters.
After six weeks I left my mum and went to the
Guide Dogs National Breeding Centre in Warwick-
shire; my new home for the next week was in the
Puppy block, this was when I frst met John who
along with his wife Shirley would look after
me at their home and become my Puppy
Walkers for the next 12/14 months.
On April 11th last year, I was taken to live with
Shirley & John who would care for me and do my
initial training. I was not allowed to walk outside
my home until I had my frst injections so they
had to carry me around the shops at frst.
At 12 weeks I had my injections, on my frst visit
to the vets, he pushed & prodded a bit, no problem,
nice guy. I continued to see him over the next
12 months to have my weight checked; I know
just where the weighing scales are!
When I was 13 weeks old, I could at last go for
walkies and have lots of adventures, new things
to see, hear & explore; I also started puppy class
so I could begin to learn all the things I would
need to know and mix with all the other Guide
Dog puppies of the same age. I met Nero there
who was being trained by Rich another puppy
walker. Nero and I became best buddies, we
went on training walks together and then later
in the year on train rides to the airport where
we saw the planes (strange things they are)
away from the work we also had lots of
fun free running together.
In May I went on my frst visit to the seaside at
East Runton. I made many new friends when I
visited the shops and restaurants in the village
especially East Runton Stores and my biggest
adventure here was a trip to the beach. It was
interesting to see all that water & sand which
felt strange on my feet.
While in Norfolk I enjoyed my frst journey
on a train and had a bus ride, both strange
things but I soon got used to them.
Over the next 5 months, through the summer,
I continued to visit East Runton and Cromer
which helped me to continue my training in a
different area from my home, all of the local
people liked me I will miss them all.
October saw a change in the weather and I had
my frst impressions of winter, colder, wet days,
at frst I didnt them but I had to get use to them
as whoever I would be working with later
would need me to go out in all weathers.
Through the winter more training and classes to
attend learning all the time, I now was able to go
fundraising with other Guide Dogs.

love & tears played by 4 of the UKs top drag
artistes: Vicki Vivacious, Vanilla Lush,
Portia De Fosse and Silver Summers.
Viva la Drag! benefts from musical direction
from John Themis, songwriter of hits by the
Sugarbabes, Emma Bunton and Kylie.

Openwide Coastal..
...have taken delivery of a smart new temporary
Box Offce while the repair work continues on
Cromer Pier after the storm surge last December.
Councillor Glyn Williams Cabinet Member for
Leisure & Cultural Services offcially opened
the temporary offce on Saturday 3rd May.
On hand to help celebrate the opening were
members of Cromer & Sheringham Operatic
& Dramatic Society whose soon to open run
of Oliver will be one of the frst to beneft
from the new Box Offce.
Marlenes School of Dance were represented
by children from the various Saturday classes
some of whom will be hoping to perform in
this years Cromer Pier Show when it opens
for the summer run on the 21st June.
This years show with an all new cast promises
to return to the more traditional routes of the
Seaside Special bringing plenty of music
comedy, song and dance and of course
the frst half fnale with children from
Marlenes School of Dance.
To help the celebration, members of the Operatic
Society brought along a cake to share with those
attending the opening Ruth Elliott, one of the
publicity team from the society said:
Its wonderful to have the Box Offce back at
the land end of the pier. Our tickets sales are
doing extraordinarily well and having the box
offce at this location will make booking
tickets much easier for everyone.
We have had a long & happy relationship with
the Theatre and look forward to continuing
that relationship long into the future.
Our frst show at the theatre was in 1952, we
then missed two years because of the Great
Storm of 1953 so this occasion in our 100th
year of the Society makes this occasion
rather special
The Property team at NNDC hopes to have the
repair works to the shop, offce and restaurant
area completed before the schools break up for
the main summer season.
This will be a tight programme but the team is
confdent that it can be delivered, in the mean-
time a temporary box offce will be sited on the
slope at the entrance to the pier for 3 months
while works are completed.
There was more good news for staff members
of Cromer Pier this week when they received
a Commendation award from the Mayor and
members of Cromer Town Council.
The award was presented in recognition of the
valued and outstanding contribution to the
community of Cromer in getting the Pier
and Pavilion Theatre up and running so
quickly after the December storm surge
so that theatre-goers could celebrate
the festive season with a visit to the
Cromer Christmas Show.
Rebecca Wass, General Manager of the Cromer
Pier said: I am delighted to have received this
award on behalf of all the staff that got stuck in
and got the pier open so quickly, it was and still
is our mantra that The show must go on what
ever the problems
The temporary Box Offce will be open daily
from 10am - 6pm with extended hours from
the opening of the Cromer Pier Show
21st June 20th September.
All shows booking now on:

Hayfever
(Allergic Rhinitis)
Hayfever has been recognised as a problem since
medieval times, and those of you who suffer
will recognise what a huge problem it can be.
Rhinitis just means irritation of the nose and
this can be seasonal (usually hay fever) or
perennial (all year round).
Rhinitis can also be associated with nasal polyps,
but this short piece will concentrate on allergic
seasonal rhinitis (hay fever).
The hay fever season runs from the end of
February until the end of October (and if like
me you are allergic to most of the plants
around during that time, you will recognise
symptoms which start before the onset of
spring around the beginning of March).
The first allergens to emerge are tree pollens
(February to June). Weeds follow peaking
from April to September and grass starts
to release its pollen from May to July.
The symptoms of hay fever vary from person
to person (and from day to day), but include:
itchy runny nose, blocked nose & feeling of
being blocked up, a feeling that there is
fluid dripping down the back of the throat,
itchy runny eyes and some people even feel
unwell and feverish (hence hay fever).
That is all the bad news, the good news is that
there are lots of treatments which do work for
hay fever.
Antihistamines: these are tablets (or liquid for
children) and have little in the way of side effects.
The incidence of side effects does vary from
patient to patient and from preparation to
preparation; so if you do have problems with one
medication it is worth trying another.
Many antihistamines for adults and children are
available from the local pharmacist. If you cannot
find one to suit you, it may be worth having a
telephone consultation with your doctor to
discuss alternatives.
Nose sprays: there are 3 choices:
A nose spray containing an antihistamine
(Azelastine hydrochloride), which works
relatively quickly and is good for eye
symptoms too, but which does not treat
the underlying inflammation in the
nose and wears off quickly.
A nose spray containing a topical steroid
treatment which takes longer to work but
which has a longer duration of action.
A nose spray which contains both!
Eye drops
One preparation (Cromoglicate) is available
over the counter and if used regularly will
provide good relief from the eye symptoms
associated with hay fever ( it does have
to be used 4 times a day)
Nedocromil eye drops only need to
be used twice daily and are only
available on prescription.
Azelastine hydrochloride eye drops are
an antihistamine eye drop which is again
available on prescription only.
There are several measures we can all take to
help hay fever symptoms
Avoid being outdoors early mornings or late
evenings when the pollen is in
the lower atmosphere.
Wear sunglasses.
If your car has air conditioning - use it!
Avoid windy hot days.
Avoid mowing the grass and stay indoors
when the lawn mowers are out.
Living near the coast appears to be
better than inland.
Finally the Allergy UK website has a huge
amount of advice and tips about hayfever
and other allergies, so have a look at it.

Two Women.....
....were playing golf. One teed off and watched
in horror as her ball headed directly toward a
foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men.
He immediately clasped his hands together at
his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to
roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and
immediately began to apologize.
Please allow me to help. Im a Physical
Therapist and I know I could relieve your
pain if youd allow me she told him.

Oh, no, Ill be all right. Ill be fne in a few
minutes the man replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the
fetal position, still clasping his hands
there at his groin.

At her persistence, however, he fnally
allowed her to help.
She gently took his hands away and laid
them to the side, loosened his pants and
put her hands inside.

She administered tender and artful massage
for several long moments and asked:
How does that feel?

He replied:
That feels great....but I still think
my thumb is broken!
