titled 'WINGS OVER NORFOLK' Bring prints and slides tonight for the forthcoming three-way
battle between Norwich, Dereham and ourselves. This battle will take place at
Dereham THURSDAY OCTOBER 20TH. Eight prints and eight slides from each club will be
assessed by an independent judge. It will be nice to have the support of all club members.
The final October meeting will be back at home on WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26TH when our
own Bob Ward LRPS will entertain us with an illuminating lecture he has called 'LIGHT WITH
A TWIST'. Print lists and titled slides will be required this evening for the 'Portfolio

NORFOLK LEGEND SUPPORTS LOCALLY BASED
CHARITY
This October sees the welcome return of Keith Skipper and his Press Gang,
in the grand spectacle that is 'More Squit on the Pier'! This marvelous return of last
years' sell out success is to be taking place on the evening of Sunday 2nd October 2005 at
the Cromer Pavilion Theatre at the end of the Pier at 7.30pm. Again Keith and the gang
will be donating all proceeds from this Norfolk extravaganza to BREAK Charity.
BREAK provides holidays, short breaks and respite care for children and adults with
learning and physical disabilities at their two North Norfolk centres - the Rainbow at
Sheringham and The Sandcastle in Hunstanton. While at BREAK guests have a holiday to
remember and their parents and carers have an opportunity for a holiday themselves or to
simply recharge their batteries. The evening will also include a special return visit from
Sid Kipper, who no doubt will entertain us all. The performance will include nostalgic
anecdotes on Norfolk life and recent events, from the man who knows them best and founder
of Friends Of Norfolk Dialect (F.O.N.D), Keith Skipper. This is a must-see event for those
who appreciate reminiscences of a 'gentler' time, or anyone who appreciates the rapid fire
of an amusing Norfolk tongue, in local dialect! This event alone could raise the funding
towards nine holiday weeks for children with special needs, so that they can experience
what it is like to live in Norfolk - just as Keith describes!
Tickets are £11.00 and are available from the Pavilion Box Office on 01263 512495. For
more information about BREAK's services or supporting this locally-based charity please
call 01263 820709.

READERS LETTERS
Here we go again. The great Tesco debate has entered yet another phase of
arguments. Turned down again and they are going to appeal. Now why does that not surprise
me in this world that we live in? There is very little hope for the human race if a small
town like Sheringham cannot even make a decision on something like a supermarket! Surely
it is very easy, pop a questionnaire out to every person on the electoral register in
Sheringham and let him or her have a vote. Once the votes are in let the majority win.
Then as a town we can get on with making some inroads into the real problems we have here.
For instance, the young racers who are going to kill someone one day, the lack of
facilities for the youngsters in town, the slow but sure changing face of our town (have
you seen the state of repair of some of the existing businesses?). We could even tackle
some of the major problems such as lack of decently paid work, getting affordable homes
for those just starting out or even building new 'council' houses for those who want to
get married and start a family, but can't as it would mean sharing with family. Tesco? All
you have to do is look out of your window to see that they are already here, I cannot
remember the last day I did not see one of their delivery vans dropping off their wares at
one of the homes in our street, can you? This battle has been raging for years, let's make
a decision and move on for goodness sake. MR
I do so hope Budgens won't be tempted to build on Station Car Park now we
aren't having a Tesco. The present shop is so very handy and conveniently near the banks,
clothes and stationery shops. The Station Car Park will be very isolated and not near any
other shops. The present shop is so very well organised and has a very good variety of
stock. (Last week they even had 'living lettuce' - a cut and come again living tray) and
of course there is a car park just behind it. Rosalind Tyler
