The Red Hart Inn, BodhamThis traditional village pub raised £282.93 for the Air Ambulance by holding an Easter Egg raffle and asking all their patrons to donate their loose change. Several of the villagers went along to the Air Ambulance in Norwich to present the cheque and take a tour of the hanger and have a look at the Air Ambulances on site.
The Red Hart was taken over by Carole and Leanne in February this year and is going
from strength to strength. The pub has a range of Real Ales and Fine Wines alongside the
more traditional pub tipples. The pub also serves an ever-changing menu of Home Cooked
meals with desserts to die for, all excellent value. It is family and dog friendly and
they pride themselves on good service and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. With the
newly refurbished pergola for outside drinking and dining, why not come along and
socialise 'alfresco'. Last Scheduled Garden Openings for 2007So far this year we have raised over £3000 for charity and with our last two scheduled
openings for the year we would like to make it up to £5000. Friends of Big C

Readers LetterAfter reading yet another letter forecasting doom and gloom over Tesco`s moves to build a supermarket in Sheringham I find myself really torn between the pros and cons of this situation. However, as a mother of three boys which takes a lot of feeding, hence shopping, I have to point out my opinion as a daily shopper in Sheringham. Firstly, I am lucky that I am a full-time mother and have time to shop within the town. I do have a car yet I make a conscious decision to use the local shops. But the simple fact is that I do need to make trips to Cromer or North Walsham and sometimes Fakenham in order to stock up on items I cannot purchase in the town. I have lived in Sheringham all of my life and have seen changes in the town, some positive and some negative. (Who would have believed that we would have a large betting shop in the middle of the town?) Sheringham does not benefit from this, perhaps a few, but it doesn`t make common sense. However we do need a larger supermarket so shoppers do not have to go out of town. I personally do not buy my meat, bread or vegetables from supermarkets. I use the butchers, fruit shop and bakers everyday. I do feel patronised slightly by the anti-Tesco lobby as they seem to feel that we will all lose our minds and not behave like conscious shoppers if Tesco arrives in town. The recent demand for organic and locally sourced produce demonstrates that we do seem to be more savvy-shoppers and this is the area where our small shops can really compete. If Tesco comes to town the only difference in my shopping habits is that I won`t have to drive to another town to buy my bulky goods once every two weeks. I do believe in the local people being given the choice. I will still shop locally for my meat, fruit and veg, bread and any bits I need in between! I know this is another letter droning on about this supermarket saga, and I do apologise for that! K. Farrow Readers LetterSheringham are pricing themselves out of the market. Food and drink is out of all proportion in Sheringham. Everything from a pint of milk 40p in our High Street and 66p for 2 pints at the supermarket. Name & Address Supplied.
