Sheringham Evening W.I. |
Our December meeting was the annual Christmas Dinner held at the Pinewood banqueting Suite
where, once again, invited members from neighbouring W.I.'s joined us for an excellent
festive meal. The annual prize for the A.C.C.W. flower competition was awarded to Edna
Seeley and for the overall competition of the month, to Anne Horton. The more energetic
members and guests then joined in Country Dancing, led by Jeannette Wakefield, Ellen
Crawshaw and Josie Baxter of the Sheringham Folk Dance Club, amid much laughter and
enjoyment. The evening ended with a raffle, followed by best wishes from the President,
Joan Cozens, for a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
Our first meeting in 2003 will take place on 9th January at St. Andrew's Hall, Cromer
Road, Sheringham at 7.30pm, when there will be a talk about the local charity, Break.
Visitors are most welcome - why not come along and see whether you would like to join our
friendly group?

REMEMBERED |
Having met many citizens of
Sheringham who wish to have a large food store on the Holway Road, Hilbre School site, I
am aware of only six people who are against this idea. They all give the impression that
'The Clock Tower' is the centre of Sheringham. When will they accept that far more people
live south of the Cromer Road than between that road and the sea?
Can they tell us where we can park one thousand extra cars if only half our residents
follow their illogical stance and forsake Safeways to shop in Sheringham on a Saturday
morning? If they are shopkeepers, can they deny that our 'lack of car parking space'
equates to 'loss of trade' every day of the week - especially in the holiday season?
Why don't they help promote a new Holway Road shopping centre with adequate parking space
for the southern residents of Sheringham so its pensioners can shop on foot or via an
electric scooter? Do these retailers actually believe the greater part of their income is
derived from the holidaymakers? Obviously, this source of money is only the 'icing on
their cake' because their 'bread and butter' income must originate from those retired
pensioners with company and govenment pensions living north and south of the Cromer Road
all the year round. The real question is, "How many of these O.A.P.'s resent being
forced, amid wind and rain, to travel to Cromer or Holt just to buy the necessities of
life?" So will these six SCAMROD supporters please produce a viable plan to solve the
shopping problems that face our South Sheringham elderly in 2003?
Today we need every citizen of Sheringham to actively fight for a better town by sending a
very short note to a Local Councillor requesting a large food outlet with adequate car
parking space on the Hilbre School site in Holway Road.
In Victorian times Charles Darwin explained why, "the only constant in life is
change". Our town's history has proved him correct over the past forty years, despite
a succession of human dinosaurs first trying to ban a Saturday market and then every other
useful addition to our town. Fortunately, even their sentimental nostalgia cannot prevent
progress, so let us cheerfully remember them all as: |

Virginia McKenna stars in
WHEN WE ARE SIXTY
|
The celebrated actress
Virginia Mckenna visits the Auden theatre at Gresham's school on Sunday 26th January, she
is famed for her starring role in the film BORN FREE. The show is a celebration of the
highs and lows of later life expressed in poetry, comedy and song. The cast includes
father and daughter Derek Waring and Amanda Waring. WHEN WE ARE SIXTY is being presented
in association with Clive Conway Associates by the Arts & Heritage Club which has
branches throughout the Home Counties and South and South East. The club hopes that this
presentation of WHEN WE ARE SIXTY will lead to the creation of its first Norfolk branch of
the Arts & Heritage Club to serve the Cromer, Sheringham and Holt communities. The
club aims to bring interesting guest speakers and entertainments to North Norfolk.
