I never ride faster than angels can fly said Christine Collins from Wickford, Essex sitting astride her black and chrome Harley FatBob. Earlier on that day, around 400 Harleys (a two mile convoy) throbbed into Sheringham - Softtail Customs, Ultra-Glides, Softtail Heritages, Dynaglides, Fatboys, Roadkings, Sportster Trikes, Fatbobs, Dyna Switchbacks, Ironheads, not a plastic bullet* or rice eater* in sight. This was primarily a Fenlander Hog gathering and gather they did but not just from the Fens...Suffolk, Cambs, Essex, Yorkshire, The Netherlands, Leeds, Nottingham all were proudly represented by riders wearing tags such as Fatboy Bazza, Jumper, Two Dogs, and Ironhead.
Vinny from Cambridge said were a clan, some of us come to Harleys when were 17, some of us at 70, makes no difference as we have a common bond..our Harley. His co-rider, Richard, added ...and our philosophy is loud pipes save lives, you know when a Harley is behind you, were cruisers not bruisers. Jumper (ex-paratrooper) had a Sportster Trike conversion. He said I never wore a helmet until I was hit by a bumble bee. The combined impact was around 120kph. Swerved, hit a curb and my trike and I parted company.... 6k of damage to the trike, almost total damage to me. An inside joke shared between David, Del & Tina..... not too good on bends, just like American cars, drive them straight no probs, go round and they whip.

without any street barriers along the route. I would like to thank Hubba (aka Dave Roberts) for the photograph above. I draw readers attention to the photograph on Page 4 of Paul Reynolds half shaven face, I thought he looked more handsome with his beard than without it. I have to take my hat off to Victoria Craske for her fund raising climb in the mist. (Page 4) Many of you may well recall that Victoria was a senior attendent in the Cromer Carnival Royal Party some years ago now, she was always a thoughtful and lovely young lady.

We watched the second show the following week, which was a great improvement on the first and during the interval we saw the same man and told him that no one had been in touch, he again apologized for this and assured me some one would contact me. Some weeks later I saw a young lady promoting the show in Nth Walsham. I told her my story and she said that was awful and that someone would definitely be in touch the next day. Guess what? I am still waiting. I do not expect any compensation, just an apology and perhaps an update on what has been done to improve the situation but obviously the customer is not important to these people so please warn all your readers: Do not Book The Front Row on show one. Dear Philip, Regards, I am writing to you to warn theatre Janine Robinson goers who want to see the Seaside Special Show one DO NOT book Dear Crab Tales, seats in the front row. In light of all the forthcoming I took my sister to see the show for nostalgia weekends & festivals the first time (Ive seen it many times) I would just like to say I cant we sat in the front row and during remember the 60s at..! the first half, a bubble machine was Apparently I got senile dementia used and we were appalled to be when I was, ooh lets say 58, covered with bubbles, our hair was I think. soaking and our clothes were wet. Yours sincerefully During the interval I told one of the management team that it was not Erm?, what-is-name good as we now had to sit through Oh Yes, the second half in damp clothing. R Yeomans He apologized and assured me Memory Lame. someone would be in touch about this matter. Letters continued on Page 4 I live in Mundesley and have been following Janet Munros comments about the flowers (or lack of) in the beds above the slope to the beach. I have seen some of the beds in Cromer which also have the wild flowers in them and they look fine, but there is obviously a problem with the ones in Mundesley, they look awful, especially as we are now entering the main six week tourist part of the year. Surely there should be some back up plan to plant normal bedding plants in these circumstances, or if they are that desperate to save money it would look better if they just grassed them all over! Keep up the good work, Ian Pilcher.

Dear Philip,
We were pleased to be in Mundesley to see the Mundesley Players production of A Midsummer Nights Dream on the last night. What a treat that was. From the novel staging, fine costumes and the excellent acting. Thanks to all involved and special congratulations to the Director. Having seen the outdoor production in Regents Park, while learning the play for GCE O level many years ago, it was great to see it again. A truly dreamlike evening.

Dear Philip,
To Shave or not to Shave
As you can see from the photo above, the day itself did not go as expected, as thick fog and extremely high winds tried to dampen our spirits but the five of us together (Barry Foulser, Sandra Foulser, Nathan Foulser and Jennifer Armstrong) ploughed on with the aid of jelly babies! Thank-you again for all of your suport and kind messages. Roll on the next challange. Yours, Victoria Craske
Dear Editor,
On the 27th of July the rain held off giving the villagers of Southrepps a beautiful day to attend their dog show, being held in conjunction the Vernon Arms Beer Festival. It was really good fun stated sponsor Lesley Bradford of Gog Magog Hills Farm Shop, Cambridge, I wanted to give back to the village, its a lovely place and the people are so friendly. Matt Gordon and 7 month old Rolo, an Old English Sheep Dog, stole the show. After grabbing a first in Best six legs they went on to win the title of
Some of these actors are so two faced. See above. Thanks Paul Reynolds

Denise Burke
Labours General Election candidate for Nth Norfolk
North Norfolk Labour Party has selected their party chair Denise Burke to run as the Labour Parliamentary Candidate in North Norfolk at the 2015 General Election. Denise has led a number of local campaigns including the Act on Ambulances & Protect Our Post campaigns and is a school governor and a volunteer in the community. She works with her husband, Stephen, on a number of initiatives to improve care for both young and older people. She runs the Good Care Guide - a TripAdvisor style website for families using childcare & eldercare and United for All Ages bringing young and old people together. Between 2004 & 2010 she worked for the Mayor of London on childcare and youth strategy. Previously she worked as a tax inspector for ten years, and headed up early years and childcare for Peterborough city council. She has pledged to fight for better care & health, more jobs, improved transport, affordable housing & coastal protection in north Norfolk - all areas she believes Norman Lamb and the government have failed to adequately address. Speaking after her selection Mrs Burke said: I am proud and honoured that local members have selected me to be Labours general election candidate for North Norfolk. People here are being let down by Norman Lamb and a Tory-led Government that is making working families pay more while millionaires are getting a tax cut. Day in day out in Westminster Norman Lamb votes for policies that hurt people in North Norfolk and leave families here worse off. She added: North Norfolk now has a real choice in 2015 between three Tory parties or a One Nation Labour Party. More of the same or a big change for the better. With our ageing population and rural communities, there are some major issues to be tackled here. From affordable housing to jobs and transport, care and schools to regeneration, we must do better. My mantra is well behaved women rarely make history and Im not scared of standing up for what I believe in and fighting for justice for local people.

Dear Editor,
What an extraordinary response to an innocent swimmer ! Would Mr. Holmes have found it more acceptable for the gentleman to bathe fully clothed? Or perhaps Mr. Holmes is of the persuasion (voiced to me by a Norfolk primary school child) that you only swim in swimming pools - the sea is just for paddling in? Sarah Watkins Ingworth
Dear Philip,
As I know that you are a keen supporter of all things Mundesley, I expect that you were at Lifeboat Day. Mundesley Coastwatch( NCI Mundesley) regularly exercises with the Lifeboat crew by using our radio to guide them to mock incidents.
Sheringham Lifeboat
Service Launch
The Sheringham Lifeboat was launched at the request of Humber Coastguard on Thurs 1st August to go to the assistance of two young people on a Jet Ski which had broken down approx 1 mile off Water Lane West Runton. The tide was on the last of the flood with a 3 knot easterly wind generating a metre of swell. The father of the of the two young people padelled a Kayak out to to help and being unable to re-start the Jet Ski all three then decided to swim ashore. The Lifeboat arrived and collected all three, who were being taken away on the flood. The Lifeboat returned to the Jet Ski which by then was being blown a long way off; and towed both the Jet Ski and kayak back to West Runton beach where the casualties were handed over to the coastguard to be de-briefed. Fundamental Lesson Always stay with the craft. Helmsman: David Hagan Crewmen : J Crisp, P Pretty & K Webster.
No its not the imminent arrival of winter, its the theme for the new NOVA artworks are on the walls of the Priory Maze caf near Sheringham until September 1st. Far from being chilly, the shades of Blue in this new display will be more reflective of the sparkling sea and the shimmering sky of our coastal strip - with some quirky surprises too, including some lovely azure papier maiche bowls and delicate pale-turquoise ceramics. Exhibiting NOVA artists will be Ruth Brumby, Katrina Cole, Rainie Kay, Shane Mallett, Sarah Scott & Jackie Watson. Futher info from: 01263 820 942. For details of NOVA visit: www.artinnorfolk.co.uk
The picture above shows our stand at the Boat Day, with some of our volunteers. You probably know that we are open 365 days a year, 12 hours a day. We keep an eye on people and animals on the beach and the cliff. All types of shipping large and small is also monitored. Best wishes Adrian Frais
