Dog Waste BinsHaving moved to Heacham a few weeks ago I have found theNewsletter invaluable. Getting to know the village and itsactivities and finding tradespeople has been very useful.Living along the Hunstanton Road end of the village past theChurch, I have enjoyed meeting numerous dog walkers when Iexercise my dog on the walk into the village and out towardsHunstanton. The one thing that seems to be missing is a dogwaste bin. The nearest ones to our end are by the river in thevillage direction and nearly into Hunstanton in the other direction.Surely a bin could be placed somewhere near Robin Hill or theHeacham Manor as there are numerous signs reminding us totake our waste home or away with us; what do we do keep it inour porches till we stockpile enough for a car journey to a bin?I may even have the solution for the local council. By thejunction with the Ringstead Road just before the Lavendertraffic lights, there is a post with two bins (overkill surely).Could one be moved down toward the end of the village as Ihave suggested?If dog owners are to be encouraged to be responsible with ourdogs’ hygiene, please help us to do so.

PCC Fire ConsultationThe Friends of Heacham Fire Station would like to say thankyou to all those who registered an objection to the Police andCrime Commissioner's bid to take over Norfolk Fire & RescueService.At the time of writing, the responses to the consultation are stillbeing considered by the PCC's team and so it is not known whatwill happen next.Lorne Green  reportedly said his decision would be led byevidence, rather than opinion. This seems a very strange thingto say at the end of a consultation which asked the public fortheir opinion!Thanks also go to the individuals and businesses who collectednames for the Fire Brigades Union petition and those whodisplayed banners to help raise awareness of the front line cutsproposed by the PCC.As for being 'led by evidence', the evidence is that over 850signatures against the proposal were collected around Heachamin just the last few weeks of the consultation. Evidence whichsurely cannot be ignored.

CHURCHES TOGETHER IN HEACHAM

As the season changesI had always thought of October as a featureless month, thefading ‘wind down’ to the end of summer and the clocks goingback. Over the last twenty years however, the predominantcolours of this month have become orange and black asHalloween has experienced a renaissance and our shops andbusinesses have enjoyed the trade this has produced. We thinkof Halloween as an American festival which has been adoptedhere to the extent that it completely outshines the traditionalfireworks and bonfires of Guy Fawkes Night.The word renaissance means a re-birth and that is exactly whatthis is, as Halloween originated in UK. So, what are wecelebrating? This festival has its origins in the Celtic pagancelebration of Samhain (pronounced ‘sow’-as in a female pigand ‘hin’) meaning summer’s end. Lasting three days, this wasmarked by bonfires and celebrated the harvest abundance offood. One notable practice was ‘souling’ or ‘soul caking’ inwhich children went from house to house singing rhymes andsaying prayers for the souls of the dead. In return they were given‘soul cakes’, sweets or biscuits said to represent souls freed frompurgatory. Has this become trick or treat?In the 8th century Pope Gregory III adopted November 1st asAll Hallows or All Saints Day. A day to honour all the saints ofthe Roman Catholic church and thus 31st October became AllHallows Eve. After the English Civil War, the parliamentarygovernment banned all ‘papist’ festivals except Guy Fawkes!!!Halloween faded into obscurity in England but remainedcommon practice in the three Celtic populations especiallyIreland. In 1845 the Great Potato Famine forced a million peopleto emigrate from Ireland to USA taking their festivals with them.It is true that some Christian festivals have adopted the dates ofpagan festivals, but these, for example Christmas and Easter,have also changed their focus. These celebrate the birth andresurrection of Jesus Christ. The focus of Halloween remainsupon all things occult.The Apostle Paul said, “Everything is permissible for me - butnot everything is beneficial” (1Corinthians 6 v 12 NIV). So, isit beneficial for a Christian to celebrate Halloween? AsChristians everything we do should glorify God. Is thereanything about Halloween which glorifies God? No there isnot. It is a question you must answer for yourself and I urge youto consider prayerfully what Jesus would have you do thisOctober.

It was amazing to see that of84 pictures displayed 76 received a vote, which shows the widerange of people’s tastes, and the skill level of our exhibitors. Thetop four choices were:Fourth Place: ‘Smiling Pig’ by Ray HanfordThird Place: ‘Martha’ by Janice CurtisSecond Place: ‘End of Shift’ by Andrew ParsonsFirst Place: ‘Sunset’ by Linda JenkinsA representation of the top twopictures are shown with thisarticle.Our thanks go to all whoattended and contributed to thisyear’s bucket collection, whichwas made on behalf of ‘Helpfor Heroes’ - it raised £87.85.

Revellers at carnivals andfairs across Norfolk thissummer have foundthemselves grateful for a

helping hand from Extra Hands when it comes to keeping cooland hydrated.The Heacham-based homecare service celebrates its 25thbirthday this month, an event which will be marked with a visitto the company’s headquarters from MP Henry Bellingham, andin the build-up to that, its workers have been out and aboutbringing comfort to overheated fair-goers whilst also raisingawareness of the organisation’s work.“We’ve been all over the place this summer - the HunstantonCarnival, Taverham Fayre, Lingwood School Fete, SandringhamDog Show, Sheringham Carnival and Heacham Carnival –giving out bottles of water and sweets in Extra Hands bags,bringing some much needed comfort in the heat and also lettingpeople know who we are and what we do,” said Extra Handsdirector Hazel Evans, who set up the service with her husbandDavid when he took voluntary redundancy 25 years ago.What started out as a home cleaning service has now grown intoa wider care agency particularly focused on sufferers fromdementia, allowing them to continue living in the comfortingfamiliarity of their own homes.From its small local origins, Extra Hands now covers significantparts of Norfolk, and was the first organisation in the county tosupply ‘well-being’ check-ups, done as often as required, toreassure those with caring responsibilities who might be able tofulfil that role as often as they would like.Hazel said the challenges posed by an ageing population and thesubsequent rise of conditions such as dementia made the service

Borough Council NewsGood October. I missed September. There are quite a few thingsto bring to your attention this month: Cheney Hill; bins atbeaches; toilets at beaches; car park at South Beach; Landownerissues; the A149 and Hopkins Homes.You will know by now that the Cheney Hill appeal by the developerto allow an additional 64 houses to be built, in addition to the 69agreed, was allowed by a planning inspector. Below is the pressrelease I submitted. It may have been published but was likely cut.Cheney HillThe additional 64 houses are a most unwelcome developmentthat Heacham residents certainly do not need. This planninginspector may have lacked common sense but two earlier onesrecognised that the allocation of 66 houses under the currentLocal Plan plus normal infill (around 63 houses since all thisstarted) was more than sufficient.I understand that the developers welcome the inspector’sdecision which just goes to show that they, too, have no notionof democracy. Several hundred villagers, the Parish Council,both Borough Councillors, the Borough’s Planning Committee,and Sir Henry Bellingham, were all opposed to this application.Yet the developers are happy that some individual in Bristolcan rubbish the people. If the developers had a sufficient moralconscience then they would have withdrawn the application.Presumably the profit from 69 houses, which they already hadpermission for, was not enough.However, neither this planning inspector nor the developer areresponsible for some of the things which led to this unnecessaryallocation of houses (in total 133) down a cul-de-sac, close toa school entrance, and off a poor access to Heacham. TheBorough Council and some of its officers made at least fourmistakes or errors (not just in my opinion).The first mistake was several years ago when the Local Planwas revised by a planning inspector. He told the Authority toput ‘at least’ in front of the number of houses allocated at sites.

The Borough accepted this either without considering theramifications or ignoring them. If you were given a quote of ‘atleast £500’ would you accept it or would you ask for limits - say‘no more than £600’. Communities across the Borough are beingpenalised when they find house numbers double.The second mistake was to allocate this site in Heacham with thecapacity to take twice as many houses as needed. If half the sitehad been allocated then we would not be in this position. Officersare attempting not to repeat this particular error in the new,emerging, Local Plan.The third mistake was more recent. Absent from the list of objectorsgiven above are Planning Officers. They supported the applicationwhich the Planning Committee then rejected. Why officers did thiswhen it was contrary to documentation their peers used at an earlierHeacham appeal is anyone’s guess. And, of course, officerssupported the applicant in the pre-application process. After thePlanning Committee decision, officers had to ‘change their minds’to produce documents to challenge the appeal. If those samearguments had been used to refuse the application then the appeal,if made, may have been less likely to succeed.The final mistake, in my opinion, was to agree to the appeal beingdealt with by documentation, not by public enquiry. I recognisedthat officers would find it difficult to convince an inspector thatthe application was wrong when they supported it. I offered tospeak at a public enquiry and have other elected members, ParishCouncil representatives etc speak too. A large audience of localpeople would also attend. In addition, Henry Bellingham offeredto speak against the appeal. In the event, it was a ‘tick box’ appealwith little chance of success.You may or may not agree with all of the above and we are nowwhere we are. Kirkham-Rhoon will soon (it has likely already beensubmitted) produce a reserved matters application dealing with sitelayout, design etc. One for the 69 houses was submitted months agobut this was conveniently put to one side. Those of you most affectedby this unwarranted large development need to pick over the reservedmatters application. You will have the customary 3 weeks to make

17

a comment. Some of the issues will affect all nearby residents, somejust your home when you find a proposed new house just over thefence. It may be useful to have a local residents meeting to discussthings. I am happy to help with this.Information about the developing Neighbourhood Plan is withinthis Newsletter and will be coming through your letter boxes. AfterCheney Hill you might ask, ‘Why bother?’ Well, it is preciselybecause of Cheney Hill that you should. Around 63 houses arecurrently allocated for the next Local Plan. A Neighbourhood Planwill place them where you want them (least bad places probably),say what sort of houses they should be and, to an extent, what theyshould look like. Without such a plan the Borough Council willdecide. They like easy solutions and they could most likely dumpthe 63 next to the 133 houses off Cheney Hill – Kirkham -Rhoonhas submitted an adjacent field during the call for sites. So, takethe Neighbourhood Plan seriously and then put up a statue toTracy Raby who is doing all the hard work.Bins at Beaches: I am currently getting nowhere with this issue– location of them so people can actually see them and get tothem easily. It went as far as your local MP who asked the BCofficer responsible what was going on. The officer’s responsewas that the current positions suited the lorries, there was noway they would be moved to suit the public, HPC can take it orleave it or do the job themselves (paraphrased). All you beachvisitors and dog walkers please complain about this high-handedattitude directly to the BC. Address letters to the Chief Executive.Toilets at Beaches: The toilet at North Beach will berefurbished over the winter. I am hoping this will be a substantialrefurbishment as asbestos has to be removed. This leaves theprimitive facilities at South Beach. I was told they may or maynot go onto next year’s work orders – it depends on finances. Iam not entirely sympathetic to this as, several years ago, thejustification for high car parking charges was so that toilets couldbe maintained. Anyway, I have suggested a possible wayforward but have heard nothing yet.Car Park at South Beach: It seems more than likely that anew, private, car park will be laid out at South Beach. I hopecharges will be negotiated with the Parish Council.Landowner Issues: If you are a landowner and have removedfences to ease some development work, please reinstate them todeter people on your land from entering adjacent sites. If you area landowner who uses part of the land to dispose of commercialwaste, more often than not by burning it, please desist.The A149: Traffic has been heavy over the season due to anincreased number of holidaymakers and, locally, Lidl. You mayhave noticed delays in leaving the village at the Lavender lights. Ihave asked Highways if they have altered traffic light priorities butthey said not. However, they are being commissioned by theBorough Council to look at the ‘efficiency’ of the lights for throughtraffic. It is suspected that the BC wants to speed traffic to the cashcow which is Hunstanton. If so, and if the priorities do change, thiswill mean problems for Heacham. I have advised Highways of thisand HPC is also making its views known. Watch this space.Regarding Lidl: Good news is that they reinstated a keep clearsign next to a neighbouring property; bad news is that deliverylorries appear to be more frequent than indicated when theydiscussed the site and they are also noisy. If you are affectedplease get in touch. The U turns at the traffic lights continue.Hopkins Homes off the A149: Still no sign of landscaping.I will raise the matter again. Rumour has it that many are beingsold as second homes. If true then it means a landscape has beenruined for no good purpose, certainly not to help solve the‘housing crisis’. A Neighbourhood Plan can help prevent secondhome properties being built by specifying types of houses whichwould not be the first choice for such customers.

Sandringham Explorers Scout UnitThe Explorers and Mark (Leader in Charge) havehad a very busy summer.It started with Sandringham joining with Penguinsand going to NORJAM at Norwich Showground,

where they met with other Scout Explorers, Guides and othergroups from all around the world. The Explorers partook in manyactivities from Clay Shooting, High Wire and Zip Wire; the wirewas so high they had to wear a harness for safety reasons (onboth activities), Caving, Zorbing and ‘Norjam’, their ownversion of Ninjas which is on a TV programme. This is only justa small pick of the activities available throughout the week. Theyalso had ‘Norjams got Talent’ in which Jess came 3rd; Jess hassince left Explorers and gone to drama school.At the Queen’s Jubilee picnic on site, Mark dressed as a PunkRocker with a dog collar round his neck and a Mohican wig,bleached jeans and DMs. Rob dressed in his dad’s clothes fromthe 70s; he had a wig on and nobody knew who he was at the start.The reason for this event is because our sub camp was ‘The 70s’.On returning from camp the next day, Mark and some of theExplorers took part in the Kite Festival and various duties of carparking (they also did this for several other events happeningthroughout the summer holidays, to raise much needed funds).On returning to Explorers on Monday night everyone waspleased to hear that Lucy had achieved her Kayaking award.Also, 9 members were awarded their Chief Scouts Award,Platinum (which included to complete several tasks over severalmonths, e.g. one Explorer chose to learn to saddle, maintain andride a horse). At the end, they had to do a 30 mile hike over twodays, carrying all their own kit, tents, stoves, food etc. This wascarried out unsupervised, unfortunately in the most appallingweather, heavy rain and high winds. On completion theExplorers were very relieved, covered in mud but Very Happy.

Some of theS a n d r i n g h a mExplorers who gainedtheir Platinum Award.Back Row: George(Ginger), George R(Asbo) & Milly.Front Row: Emily(Sucks), Lucy &Becks (Bob).

Anyone wanting tojoin Explorers please ring Tel: 07534 361956.Please feel free to contact us if you would like to donate, or evenvolunteer.Yours in scouting.

St Mary’s Church, SnettishamAn event not to be missed!

On October 10th at 7pm we shall welcome two key figures ofthe Anglican church to St Mary’s. The Bishop of Norwich, TheVery Revd Graham James, is well known to many and this willbe one of his last visits to West Norfolk before he retires. PamelaGreener on the other hand is more used to being top of the ratingson You Tube and is the wife of the Dean of Exeter Cathedral.Both born within walking distance of each other in Cornwall,Pamela was an Oxford University Music Graduate beforebecoming a high-flying tax consultant with Price Waterhouseand then moving on in a pioneering, global role as US GeneralElectric's first UK Tax Director.A committed Christian, alongside her professional activities,Pamela was the first woman in the country to chair a DiocesanBoard of Finance (that of Wakefield), a voluntary position sheheld for 5 years (1995 – 2000), whilst at GE.  Under herleadership, diocesan finances were transitioned from substantialloss to sustainable profit.She met her husband Jonathan on that well renowned datingagency "The Bishop's Council" in 2003 when he was appointedThe New Archdeacon, and they were married in 2006 inWakefield Cathedral.In 2012 the Daily Telegraph named her as one of 25 Britons ofthe Year for her campaign resisting George Osborne’s last-minute decision (in his first budget) to make alterations to listedbuildings subject to VAT. The timing and circumstances of Mr

Osborne's unhelpful intervention threatened the "just started daysbefore”  refurbishment of Wakefield Cathedral, of whichJonathan was then Dean. Her compositions, “The VAT Ditty”and “VAT Ditty – The Sequel” became You Tube hits andHansard records that alternative measures were put in placebecause of the campaign generated by these musical works.

Heacham at NightThe dark nights are coming (shame about the clouds). BritishSummer Time ends at 2am on October 28th. Clocks go back anhour to Greenwich Mean Time. This is the same as UniversalTime which is used by astronomers and anything technicalaround the world. The given reason for using UT is that GMTis a time zone whereas UT is a time standard. I think somenations are put out acknowledging Greenwich (England). Thisapplies particulary to the French who are still smarting aboutlosing, in 1884, their 0o degree longtitude running through Paris.Jupiter is vanishing into the twilight but remains visible in theearly evening at the beginning of the month. Wait until next yearfor it to pop up in the early morning and then gradualy becomea late night and early evening object again. The cycle of theplanets around the ecliptic will carry on regardless of the anticsof us and well past the time when Earth no longer has life.

Meanwhile, Saturn and Mars are still visible in the night skythough fainter than recent months. Neptune remains a goodtelescope object. Uranus will be as bright as it gets as it reachesopposition -a line drawn from the Sun, through Earth, would passthrough Uranus (jokes to the editor please). As discussed in earlierissues, it is surprising that Uranus does not appear in the ancientrecordings of the wandering stars (planets) as it is visible to sharpeyes in very dark skies. Good binoculars held steady in some wayshould reveal it. On the 24th, at 7pm, scan a line running directlyup from the full Moon; a blue dot will be the planet.

Uranus. It doeshave rings and itis big. Internet

Mars was a delight during summer, bright and red. However, itwas a disappointment to astro-photographers due to the all

enveloping dust cloud which began in May. This has beenconfirmed as the biggest storm ever observed and has only juststarted subsiding. Efforts to establish contact with the 15 yearold Opportunity Rover have been stepped up. It is solar poweredand dust shuts it down to conserve its batteries. It will wake upif enough light gets to the panels and this might need a Martiandust devil to blow them clean. (PS 17th September, Mars stillshining bright and some constellations visible!)

A Martian dustdevil photographedby Opportunitysome time ago.NASA

Satellites will listen out for communications from Opportunityand signals will be sent the other way to give it a nudge.Opportunity was originally expected to give 90 days service. Ithas kept going, without visits from service engineers, for adecade and a half enduring night time temperatures of -100o,dust storms and rocky terrain. Why have schools not oftenencouraged engineering as a meaningful career?On the evening of the 17th, Mars is to the left of the Moon. Onthe 18th, Mars is closer to the Moon but on the right.Meteor showers. There are three this month; the Draconids peakon the 8th, the Southern Taurids on the 10th, and the Orionidson the 21st. The first two have no Moon to wash them out andthe Draconids are visible all night. Each can produce meteornumbers of around 10 / hour. The Orionids compete with theMoon which sets about 4am so, if you an early riser, look outfor them then. I saw a very bright meteor in North Norfolk rightat the end of August, a fireball in fact which lit up the sky.

21

If you are still struggling to find Saturn, on the 14th it lies belowthe crescent Moon and, on the 15th, below and to the right of it.Whilst looking for the ringed planet see if you can pick out thepattern (asterism) of the stars below it called, for obvious reasons,The Teapot. The Milky Way runs through the ‘spout’ and if youlook that way you are staring towards the Galactic Centre.

Internet

As the nights get darker look for some of the more recognisableconstellations and asterisms which are made by drawing lines betweenstars. Ursa Major, The Plough, is towards the north, the W of Cassiopeiais overhead with the ‘house’ of Cepheus a little to the west of that. TheGreat Square of Pegasus is a little south of Cassiopeia. To the west ofCassiopeia the bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair still delineate theSummer Triangle whilst, well to the east, look for red giant Betelgeusebringing up Orion, lord of the winter skies.

Internet

Look a little NE of the the Great Square and a fuzzy blob is likelythe Andromeda Galaxy. This is the furthest you will ever seesomething unaided (good eyes and a dark sky needed). Lightfrom it has been travelling 2.5 million years to reach your eyes.As a test of both your eyes and how dark the sky is, count howmany stars you can see within the Great Square. Apparently,something like 24 is very good.Just north of the Great Square, through a telescope, an objectcalled the Blue Snowball can be seen. It looks just like that, ablue fuzzy ball and I have viewed it from my back garden here.It is New General Catalogue 7662, a planetary nebulae. A starblew up and left a shell of gas around the dwarf which remains.It is bright as such objects go and was discovered by Herschel.

Its distance, up to now hard to determine, is between 2 and 4thousand light years away. The blue colour is down to ultra-violetlight from the central star exciting oxygen atoms in the surroundingcloud. Oxygen emits light in the blue part of the spectrum.

The Blue SnowballNebulae. Internet

To see all thesethings in the skydepends on dark

skies. Dark skies need fostering, encouraging. Stray light fromlight sources ruin them. So please shut curtains at night, ensureany external lights are shielded to stop them spilling upwards,remove security lights which dazzle and replace, if necessary,with modern ones designed not to annoy and ensure either sortare tilted away from neighbour’s property. And, if you arebuilding a new home, very large windows might be encouragedby magazines and your architect but they are dire for dark skiesand wild life. The North Norfolk Coast is gradually being ruinedby mis-guided people and it is beginning to happen alongHeacham beaches and, to an extent, within Heacham.Enjoy the skies whilst you can and try to leave them in a betterstate for your children and grandchildren.PS By next month I may have touched an asteroid or at least myname will have. Spacecraft Osiris Rex is closing in on Bennu.Watch the news.

HEACHAM NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNINGGROUP NEEDS YOUR VIEWS ON FUTUREHOUSING DEVELOPMENT SITES INHEACHAMFollowing the Planning Inspectorate’s decision to approvethe additional 64 dwellings on Cheney Hill, AGAINST thewishes of the village, the Parish Council and BoroughCouncillors, this has now increased the total size of this newdevelopment to 133 dwellings. It is now even more importantthat residents of Heacham have their say on future housingdevelopment in their village.

The Borough Council’s emerging Local Plan requires Heachamto identify site for an additional 63 new dwellings over the periodof that Local Plan (this is subject to change when theGovernment finalises the way in which these allocations arecalculated). If we are to stop any future decisions on locationof developments in the village being controlled by people whohave no contact with, or knowledge of the area, it is imperativethat the Heacham Neighbourhood Plan incorporates your viewson the preferred location and size of any future developments.

While the Heacham Neighbourhood Plan must support the strategicdevelopment needs set out in Local Plans, it does give thecommunity the opportunity to influence WHERE the developmentsare located, and the size and type of development. Once made andagreed, the Neighbourhood Plan will sit along the Borough’s LocalPlan and will carry the same weight in the decision making processfor future housing developments in the village.

Each of the sites shown on the following pages have beensubmitted by local landowners to the Borough Council ofKing’s Lynn and West Norfolk in response to their ‘Call forSites’ as part of their review of the Local Plan.

All have been assessed by the Borough under the Housingand Economic Land Availability Assessments(HELAAs). These are key evidence documents which

support the preparation of Local Plans. Their purpose isto:

ꞏ To establish how much suitable developmentland there is in an area

ꞏ To test if this land could be developedꞏ help local planning authorities to understand the

level of growth they can plan forꞏ identify areas where growth can be accommodated

But they are not policy documents, and do not determine:ꞏ if land should be allocated for developmentꞏ if planning permission should be granted

This is your opportunity to share your views on thepreferred location and size of any futuredevelopments and influence how the village growsand develops over the next 20 years.

NEWS FROM HEACHAM FIRE STATIONHeacham Fire Station Open Day

Hello EveryoneOn the 25th August, the fire station opened its doors for the fifthyear running to host an afternoon of fun and fundraising! Wewere truly blessed with a day of lovely weather which wassandwiched between two less than lovely days.As promised, there were somenew attractions this yearincluding the inextinguishablecar fire from the Norfolk FireMuseum and the AerialLadder Platform (SimonSnorkel in old money) whichwas brought along by ourwhole-time colleagues from King's Lynn - many thanks to them.The Chief Fire Officer also attended which was another very

welcome first for us.Favourites including the raffle, minifire engine, Fire Fighters Charitystall, children's tombola and lots ofcakes helped to keep both adultsand children entertained during theevent.  Hunstanton fire cadetshelped out once again and alsoshowed a little of what they can dowhen they got a jet of water to workon that pesky car fire!As always there are lots of peoplewho contribute to making these

occasions a success and so lots of people to thank. Now with mymind currently like the proverbial sieve, this might be tricky buthere goes!We owe a lot to theteam from theNorfolk FireMuseum withoutwhom, the open daywould be a muchmore low-key affair.Thanks to theindividuals and businesses including A.E.Wallis and JenningsStores who contributed prizes for the raffle, to the managementof McColls who helped out with supplies for the refreshmentsstall and to St Mary's Church who let us borrow their tables andchairs once again.

Thanks to Andy Groom who provided the musical backdrop tothe afternoon and always manages to turn a raffle draw into anentertaining experience, to Station Road Garage and Mark at theClub for their help with car parking and to Heacham In Bloomwho  came along to support the event and who also  keep thestation looking attractive all year round.Finally, a few individuals...... Pat, Claire, Jonathan, Judy, Clare,Nick, John and Jean. Have I missed anyone?? Oh yes, youngKathryn who virtually took over the recreation room with herLucky Dips, Egg Shell Challenge, 'Name the Bear' (Ben) and'How Many Sweets in a Jar' (63). I believe she even had to takeon a business partner in the shape of young Caitlyn, to helpmanage her fundraising empire (watch out  Peter Jones)! Afantastic effort which contributed to hundreds of pounds beingraised for both the Fire Fighters Charity and the Norfolk FireMuseum.And this really is the final one, to everyone who came along andsupported their fire station......... thank you so much.Take Care and Stay Safe

Ruffle’s Walks – Apple Bobbing!by Rachel Greaves

It was a cold autumnal morning as Ruffle walked through thegate leading to the station garden. Eric and Ben were sitting atthe wooden bench busy carving pumpkins for the weekendtrains. Ruffle spotted some shreds of pumpkin on the floor underthe bench. He trotted over and began to crawl under on histummy in an attempt to reach the small orange scraps.“Hey! Ruffle, stop moving the bench. The pumpkins nearly fell offthen!” exclaimed Ben as he moved quickly to catch an orangesphere, just managing to prevent it from rolling off the bench. Benreached under the bench and grasped Ruffle’s collar to pull him out.Eric put his pumpkin down and stood up, looking round thegarden.’“Come on Ruffle, let’s find something for you to play with andkeep you occupied whilst we finish off these pumpkins. Now,where did I see that ball?”Eric soon spotted the ball and threw it across the garden forRuffle to chase. Ruffle chased after the ball then brought it backto Ben to throw again as Eric had sat back down. Ben threw theball and an obliging Ruffle retrieved the ball once more. But itwas hard to concentrate whilst also playing with Ruffle, and afterseveral throws Ben became frustrated.“Ruffle! I’m not getting anything done!” groaned Ben and gavethe ball a more enthusiastic throw than he intended. Rufflewatched as the ball sailed over the grass and bounced againstthe station wall. It then landed with a PLOP into the near-fullwater bowl that Eric left out for Ruffle.Ruffle ran over to the bowl and stood watching the ball floatingon the top of the water. Ruffle tried to grab the ball, but as histeeth almost closed around the top of it, the ball was pushedunder the water. Ruffle immediately lifted his muzzle out of thewater, gave a snort, then sneezed. He stood and looked again atthe ball that was now bobbing tantalizingly up and down in thewater. Ruffle made another grab for the ball, determined to pullit out of the water. This time Ruffle’s nose went right under thewater as his teeth managed to pin the ball to the bottom of thebowl. He quickly brought the ball out of the water and droppedit onto the path. Ruffle shook his head then sneezed again asthe water tickled the inside of his nostrils.Ben, who had been watching Ruffle’s determined efforts toretrieve the ball, turned to Eric. “Eric! That’s what we can playat the weekend - apple bobbing! We can put some apples in abowl of clean water and try to get them out by just using ourteeth – no hands allowed! Thanks Ruffle! I’d forgotten all aboutthat game!”

MAKING TAX DIGITAL:GET READY FOR VAT

CHANGESby Kathryn Gigg, Chartered

Accountants, HunstantonWhat you need to know now: only 6 months to go!Making Tax Digital (MTD) is certainly one of the mostambitious changes to the system of taxation that HM Revenue& Customs (HMRC) has ever proposed. Its aim is to make theUK one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations inthe world.MTD fundamentally changes how taxpayers will maintaintheir tax and accounting records and how they will reportto HMRC. Records will have to be kept digitally, and there willbe a requirement to update the Revenue much more frequentlythan at present.The Revenue believes that keeping digital records, followed byautomated filing direct to HMRC through MTD compatiblesoftware, will help reduce errors, cost, uncertainty and worry.MTD for VAT will be introduced in April 2019, but MTDfor other taxes, including Income Tax, has been delayed until2020 at the earliest, pending further governmentannouncements.MTD for VAT will be mandatory for businesses whosetaxable turnover is above the VAT registration threshold(currently £85k), and will apply from the first VAT periodstarting on or after 1 April 2019. Such businesses will, by law,have to keep their VAT records in digital form and file theirVAT Returns using commercial MTD-compatible software,submitting directly to HMRC’s online system.MTD will remain voluntary for VAT registered businessesbelow the VAT threshold until 2020 at least.Going forward, for businesses that are not yet liable to register,but subsequently become liable, MTD will automatically applyfrom the date of registration.HMRC’s VAT Notice 700/22: MTD for VAT, was issued on 13July 2018. This notice provides guidance on the digital recordkeeping and return requirements for MTD for VAT.It is increasingly common for business records and accounts tobe kept digitally, on a computer, a tablet, in a smartphoneapplication or stored using a cloud-based application. UnderMTD the software that a business uses must be able to:

· Record and preserve digital records of the informationspecified in the regulations

· Provide HMRC with information and returns directfrom data held in those digital records by using the HMRCApplication Programming Interface (API) platform· Receive information from the Revenue via the APIplatform.Note that HMRC will not be offering software and hencebusinesses will need to invest in third party software productsthat will perform all of the functions listed above.Not all software will be able to do this. For example, aspreadsheet will be capable of recording and preserving digitalrecords but will not normally be able to provide/receive datato/from the Revenue. In such a case, the business owner willneed to invest in suitable bridging software in order to transferor exchange data within or between programs. Transferring datamanually including ‘cut & paste’ is not going to be acceptableunder MTD. Each piece of software must be digitally linked toother pieces of software and onwards to the Revenue.For the first year of mandating (VAT periods commencing 1April 2019 to 31 March 2020), HMRC will allow a ‘soft landingperiod’ and businesses will not be required to have their digitallinks in place other than the transfer of data to the API enabledproduct for the purpose of submitting the 9 Box VAT Returndata to HMRC. The transfer of data to this product must beautomatic without having to be re-keyed.It is vital that businesses get their preparation for MTDunderway without delay.If you will be within the scope of MTD on 1 April 2019, and allor part of your business records are currently maintainedmanually, you should urgently consider how best to digitisethem, whether by the use of spreadsheets, or by investing in acloud or desk- based accountancy software package.

39

Likewise, if you will be within the scope of MTD on 1 April2019, and you currently maintain your records on spreadsheet,please remain aware that you will need to use third-partybridging software which is a digital tool (incorporating relevantMTD APIs) that will be needed in order to connect accountingsoftware to HMRC systems, allow the required VAT informationto be reported digitally to the Revenue, and, also, for informationto be sent back digitally to the business by HMRC.Even if you currently use accounting software such as Sage,Quickbooks or Xero to maintain your records and submit yourVAT Return, you may still need to upgrade i.e. to ensure thatthe program is MTD compatible.The Revenue published an updated list of developers with MTDfor VAT products at a prototype stage on 30 July 2018 but thislist is currently quite short. Businesses already using otheraccounting software should speak to their software supplier tocheck functionality for MTD for VAT or to ascertain thetimetable for the release of such products. It is understood thatHMRC are currently in discussion with more than 130 potentialsuppliers of MTD for VAT software, including some who expectto develop products that will facilitate the use of spreadsheets.The date of your first MTD VAT submission will depend onyour quarter end dates:

How we can helpIf, having read through the above, your eyes glaze over at themention of ‘MTD compatible’ or ‘bridging’ software, or you areworried because you are not already digitally engaged but nowrealise that you will be subject to the new regime because yourtaxable turnover exceeds the VAT Registration threshold, pleasecontact us without delay. We can then promptly review yourcurrent position and advise you of the changes you need to,and/or may choose to, make in order to deal with MTD.We can guide you in your choice of software whether this becloud based, or a desk top application, help you to set this upand provide you with training for both you, and your staff asrelevant.Alternatively, if the whole process fills you with horror, pleaseconsider outsourcing your bookkeeping and VAT function to us.

If you would like to discuss the implications of MTD for yourbusiness, please contact either of my assistants Ryan FisherMAAT or Nicola Tarry FCA. With our specialist knowledgeand experience we are here to assist you in being preparedfor when MTD for VAT makes its debut on 1 April 2019.Please do not delay!Please contact Kathryn Gigg Chartered Accountants,Hunstanton on 01485 534800/email kate@kathryngigg.co.ukif we can assist in any way.

Alternative Therapies‘Remember that human wisdom is madness in the eyes of god(Goddess). But if we listen to the child who lives in our soul, oureyes will grow bright. If we do not lose contact with that child, wewill not lose contact with life’ – Paulo Coelho, ‘By the River ofPiedra I sat down and wept’. (From Heacham Library, where else!)How amazing is that. Can you imagine if we all went ‘silly’, didthings that we would have done as a child, wow look at thatdragonfly, how beautiful, the colour of a glittering dragon. Whowe could see as children but only a few can see now as adults.Hello ducks, how are you today, you look amazing, can I paddlein the puddle with you? Have you noticed the most wise of usare also the most childlike and free, as we have chosen to stepoutside the ‘rules’ to be real to ourselves. Have you run throughthe waves recently or barefoot in the park or your garden? If not,why not? Who is telling us that we may not do those things, forwho are they harming or whose fears are we holding onto in ourminds. For me it was ‘what will people say’, and so on and onand on ending in the realisation does it really matter. Have alook at your voices; you will all have them niggling away. Ittakes a good clarity of mind to look at all these inbuilt voices,challenge them for they are not real. How freeing is that!Which sort of moves into clothing too. I love my bright and oftenclashing colours and patterns, they make me feel bright andcolourful too; who says we have to wear this or that fashionbecause…; well think about it, who has decided that? Each littlestep frees us and allows more of that inner child out to play.Imagine the suited and booted skipping to work, having brightsuits and briefcases, we might not take them as seriously – andthat might be a good thing!So how can alternative therapies help us free ourselves, well easilyof course.! Homeopathy will help dissolve the layers of symptomsboth mental and physical that hold us, to allow new and healthybehaviour. Tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique helpsremove fears and thought patterns and replaces them with positivethoughts as does Hypnotherapy. Reiki/Spiritual Healing allowsus to totally relax, heal and gives clarity of thought, so that we cansee things more clearly, as does crystal healing.Remembering that alternative therapies are subtle in their action,you may not notice a change until you are that change. As I drovedown to Bedfordshire, I remembered that I was scared to drive toKing’s Lynn; now that’s a massive freedom for me. We also forgetthe symptoms that have dissolved, so your hurt foot, which nolonger hurts is no longer remembered when you run for that bus.So, I expect to see you all skipping down to the sea soon wearingyour beautiful colours in your clothes and hair.In Harmony.

Whelker Sally was built in 1939. The latest boats werecrab boat Valerie Teresa built by David Hewitt in 1989 and Aukalso built by David Hewitt in 2014.The flotilla on Saturday evening was a spectacle as the boatssteamed out of the harbour into a squall and then back again.Many visitors took great interest in the boats and some fishermenwere there in their former boats.

BINS AT BEACHESThe Parish Council and Cllr Parish are currently getting nowherewith this issue – location of the bins so that people can actuallysee them and get to them easily. Your local MP asked theBorough Council officer responsible what was happening. Theofficer’s response was that the current positions suited thelorries, there was no way they would be moved to suit the public,Heacham Parish Council can take it or leave it or do the jobthemselves (paraphrased). All you beach visitors and dogwalkers please complain about this high-handed attitude directlyto the BC. Address letters to the Chief Executive.

LANDOWNER ISSUESIf you are a landowner and have removed fences to ease somedevelopment work please reinstate them to deter people on yourland from entering adjacent sites. If you are using part of yourland to dispose of commercial waste, more often than not byburning it, please give some consideration to local residents.

DOG FOULINGIt is that time of year, when the nights are drawing in, themornings are dark, and the number of complaints about dogfouling in the village increase. It is still an offence not to cleanup after your dog, even if no one can see you. There are currently23 Dog bins around the village, but you can put your Dog wastein any bin if appropriately bagged. Please do so, and help keepthe village clean and safe.
