SHERINGHAM EVENING W. I.
At the June meeting, members thoroughly enjoyed the tales from Betty Fielden about her ''Life on the Wicked Stage,' which began 52 years ago in unglamorous times , when auditions resembled Miss World contests, good digs were hard to find and superstitions abounded. Nevertheless, she was successful, taking part in shows staged by Emile Littler and Jack Hylton, meeting Julie Andrews, a true friend, and Vic Oliver, culminating in appearances on television in black & white days. Two members, Pam Akiens and Elsie Swan were congratulated on their Golden Wedding Anniversaries as were the members who designed the gardens for the Group competition, when we won the cup. Our resolution on Care of Older People was adopted at the AGM at the Albert Hall by a 99o/o majority of Institutes voting nationally and a Sub-committee was formed to press home our objectives with the relevant authorities. Flower of the month competition winners were Edna Abbs, Pam Akiens and Sylvia Tatum. Our next meeting will be held at St Andrew's Church Hall, Cromer Road, on 10th July at 7.30pm when the speaker, Miss Farida Sheikh, will talk about Colney Wood. You are most welcome to join us.

LOCAL MP SAYS
CARERS DESERVE BETTER SUPPORT
Norman Lamb, Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, today called for carers to be given better support at the workplace and by the County Council. Speaking in advance of Carers Week (June 9 -15), the MP said the 12,910 carers in the North Norfolk constituency deserved better support.

"Without carers looking after their loved ones, there would be massive extra demands on the NHS and social services. Over half of all carers continue to work and contribute to the local economy, often juggling their different roles with considerable difficulty.

"The main problem for carers is the lack of flexibility at the workplace. In many cases, carers need more flexible working arrangements than are currently on offer.

"Norfolk County Council can help as well. Many carers have told me about the problems of day-care services available only for limited periods of the day, the lack of funding for replacement and short-term breaks, that there is an absence of evening and weekend services in a supposed 24-hour society, and that childcare services frequently do not cater for disabled children.

"Carers contribute much through their dedicated and unpaid help, and deserve our unstinting support."

Hi, I live in Yuba City in Northern California, twice a year for two months at a time, it's really nice here and for 12 years I worked in the water aerobic and fitness business. I moved back to live in dear Sheringham five years ago, it's the most wonderful place to be. I do come from Mildenhall and was born and raized there till I left for the USA in 1986. If you know me and would like to contact me, please contact the paper.
