Readers LetterTo be honest our local shopping centre is owned by Tesco. And on the days their store
is shut the other units don't bother opening because it is Tesco that draws the business
to them. However the centre (Weston Favell shopping centre Northampton) still flourishes.
The centre supports a Wilkinsons as well as a Superdrug and there is still room for other
shops that sell competing items which Tesco sell. W.E.A. DAY SCHOOL IN SHERINGHAMSHAKESPEARE IN FILM However, we shall concentrate mainly on the work of the more important directors and
actors such as Orson Welles, Olivier, Branagh, Zeffirelli, Rienhardt, Nunn and many
others, including some interesting failures. Dear EditorWell (sharks) off Sheringham beaches. All I have to say as a regular visitor is that the shark ought to swim off Cromer beaches, pull itself up on the waters edge and bite the bums of the dirty dogs being allowed to foul your lovely beaches. This anti-social behaviour is getting worse. PJS |
Dear Editor,Your pro-Tesco correspondents all base their arguments on two main themes; the recent survey and that SCAMROD is controlled by self-interested shopkeepers, both of which are false. The survey canvassed fewer than 600 people of which only 53% were in favour, which is hardly a majority of Sheringham residents! When this result is set against the 3000 plus people who signed an anti-Tesco petition, it becomes rather insignificant. SCAMROD was originally set up by the Sheringham Preservation Society but eventually became independent of them and never had any person with business interests in the town on its committee. This was a deliberate policy to ensure that we could not be accused of the sort of bias that your correspondents are so fond of repeating. What a shame that they don't research their statements before putting pen to paper. Reg Grimes. Put On Your Dancing Shoes For An Afternoon Of Entertainment!Residents of North Norfolk are being encouraged to dig out their dancing shoes to take part in a new social dance and activity session being held on Tuesday afternoons at the Copeman Centre in Briston, Melton Constable. The sessions, which are being organised through a partnership between North Norfolk District Council, Active North Norfolk and Sport England, allow people to enjoy an afternoon of social dancing, light exercise and refreshments all in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The sessions take place between 2 and 4 pm with a small charge of only £2 per person. Beginners and people of all abilities from across North Norfolk are very welcome and no booking is necessary.
A recent national Sport England "Active People Survey" has shown that more
needs to be done to encourage people to have a go at and take part in different
activities. Melanie Brown, Fit Together Co-ordinator for North Norfolk, said that "We
are delighted to be working with our partners to provide residents with more opportunities
to enjoy an active and social life, both of which have been shown to greatly improve
people's health and sense of wellbeing. We have been running the dance since last October
and we have a lovely bunch of people who come regularly as well as new faces most weeks.
Exercise is not just about getting down the gym, the tea dance provides people with light
exercise and a very pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We play music for all types of
ballroom and latin as well as old time and rock and roll. The dance caters for all levels
of dancing ability from those who are experienced to those who just come to move to the
music." Sheringham Museum Winter TalksSt Andrew's Church Hall 7.30pm |
