| TAKE
OFF! FOR MUSIC CLASSES IN NORTH NORFOLK |
| Free monthly music classes are under way in
North Norfolk, under the banner of Take Off—the ongoing series of concerts and
musical events in the District. Composer and musician Jane Wells is leading classes
at North Walsham through until Summer 2005, giving North Norfolk people the chance to
share and explore their creative ideas and playing skills with others, using a variety of
instruments and new technology, on a regular basis and in a supportive environment.
The classes are open to adults and young people aged 13 or over, who can play a musical
instrument. They take place in the Music Room at North Walsham High School, on Spencer
Road, from 11am to 1pm on Saturdays. 8th January, 5th February, 5th March, 16th April, 7th
May, 11th June, and 2nd July 2005. Attendance is free. To join the group, or for
more information, call Anna MacGregor, Arts Development Co-ordinator at North Norfolk
District Council, on 01263 516053, see www.northnorfolk.org /arts or email arts@northnorfolk.gov.uk. The Take Off!
Programme is designed to bring new music-making opportunities into North Norfolk
communities and build a vibrant musical scene in the District, through events like family
workshops and innovative concerts. Take Off! Is a North Norfolk District Council
initiative supported by the Britten Sinfonia, Norfolk County Council, the Arts Council of
England and the Eastern Orchestral Board. NNDC would like to hear from any
experienced or aspiring musicians who would like to support Take Off! events. Please
contact Anna MacGregor on 01263 516053 |

Dear Editor,
There are sections in the Mental Capacity Bill, which would guarantee greater protection
to people with Mental Capacity; but The Government virtually collapsed in the final stages
of this bill at Second reading, which is due for debate in the House of Lords. It is
essential that the public is clear on what is involved. That the bill gives people
‘choice’ is completely untrue. The Bill includes a clause, which it claims makes
‘living Wills’ binding. However, the bill in fact makes legally binding only
those ‘living wills; that refuse ‘ treatment’ and how many people are aware
that ‘ treatment’ in the Bill includes assisted ‘food and fluid.’ Thus
anybody refusing treatment could be starved and dehydrated to death. On the other
hand, a ‘Living Will’ in which a person insists that s/he wish to have food and
fluids ( unless it would be burdensome) is NOT legally binding- and still allows doctors
to withdraw nourishment and hydration, ending the patient’s life by dehydration and
starvation, which is a singularly cruel way to die. The clauses on the withdrawal of
treatment could be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights. (article 2,3 and
8 ).Baroness Warnock who supports Euthanasia admitted on Channel 5 Lunchtime Television
News ( 5.12.04) that dying from starvation and dehydration could cause tremendous
suffering and suggested we should end the life of a person through a legal injection. Soon
the old will be made to feel redundant simply for being old and expected to kill
themselves. Every person concerned for the welfare of the old should write to Norman
Lamb M.P. and as many Peers as possible without delay. Yours truly, Fr. Tony Webb.
St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Sheringham. |

My daughter Jane told her friend,
"Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even
boys have something to say if you listen long enough". |
