HANDY NUMBERS
Dear Editor,
Living in Cromer dog owners are fortunate
being allowed into various venues for
coffee snacks & meals but in Norwich &
Gt.Yarmouth dogs and owners must be
separated-which means leaving your dog
at home, to be allowed in anywhere- I
dont think so!
We have asked in so many places and
been refused by all.
We feel that there should be places that
will let us in as in Cromer; The Bistro,
Pavilion Theatre Coffee Reef bar on the
pier. Amber(Anns dog) being well known
in the friendly Cafe Main, great homemade cakes & scones & all warm in this
cold weather.
HELP If you have any good news will you
kindly let us know via Crab Tales,
We thank you,
Cindy Ann & Amber

Rembering the
Mundesley Fallen
from The Great War
So often when we remember those who gave
their lives in service of our Country they are
but names. Either read out or inscribed on
stone we know nothing of who they were.
With the kind help of Christopher West we
will, in the forthcoming editions be giving
our readers the chance to learn a little about
some of the people named on the flag list at
Mundesley Museum.
We have reproduced below the list of the
Mundesley Fallen from The Great War.1914
to 1918.

Its never welcome when storms comes a calling but the Church
Rooms at Mundesley had a more traumatic visit than most.
On 14th January the storm caused the collapse of the gable end of
the building. Inside were local table-tennis players who made a
safe and speedy exit.
The damage is so severe that the important and busy community
venue will be out of action for several months.

At North Norfolk UK Independence Partys recent annual general meeting Jack Smith
was elected Chairman, Irene Ramsbotham [Secretary], Gina Foster [Membership
Secretary] and David Ramsbotham [Treasurer].
Terry Comber, the retiring Chairman, spoke about the progress that UKIP had made
during his 5 year tenure. Membership of the Branch had increased three fold, two
County Councillors had been elected and most importantly a referendum on our
membership of the European Union had been secured.
Jack Smith was delighted and honoured to be elected Chairman. He spoke of
his determination to continue to progress the Party both locally and nationally in
preparation for the vote on the EU.
County Councillor David Ramsbotham said that he was very pleased with Jack
Smiths appointment adding Jack is only 24 years old hopefully this will convince
everyone that we are not a Party of old fogies but the youngsters of Britain are also
keen to protect the future prosperity, security, sovereignty, democracy, culture and way
of life of our proud nation.

DRAGONS AT NORWICH
CASTLE
NOT
THE
SPOT
THE
CRAB,
CRAB.
This spring don your Viking helmet, brush up your Dragonese, and head to Norwich
Castle for our exciting new family-friendly exhibition, A Vikings Guide to Deadly
Dragons. The exhibition is inspired by Cressida Cowells best-selling childrens books
How to Train Your Dragon, now a major Hollywood film and TV franchise.
Created by Seven Stories, The National Centre for Childrens Books, this wonderful
exhibition will transport you to a world where Vikings rule and dragons roam. Discover
Berk, the island home of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. Join this unlikely hero
on his adventures with his tribe of Hairy Hooligans and Toothless, his hunting dragon.
Featuring Cressidas original illustrations, the exhibition gives visitors the chance to get
up close to the authors notebooks and watch filmed interviews. There are opportunities
for creative play, dressing as a Viking, visiting the Hooligan village and wild dragon
cave.
Alongside the exhibition, a packed programme of dragon-related events for all ages
will inform and entertain. Theres loads for families to enjoy including storytelling with
Thunderous Thor, Viking activities, drama performances, film screenings, glitter dragon
tattoos, dragon art and craft activities and a Chinese dragon dance workshop. With daily
activities throughout the Half Term and Easter Holidays, youngsters will be kept busy
and entertained.
Theres also plenty on offer for adults: our Tuesday lunchtime
talks programme takes a look at dragons in art and mythology
and Norwichs long association with the dragon, theres a
workshop on Writing for Children in partnership with the
University of East Anglia and sessions on How to paint your
dragon with the artists who painted last summers GoGoDragons
and How to clean your dragon with the Norwich Castle
conservation team
The Norwich Castle team have also been working closely with
the Norfolk County Council Libraries and Information Service
to use the opportunity presented by the exhibition to encourage
childrens literacy Cressida herself began drawing and writing
stories about dragons when she was nine. The collaboration
includes a specially decorated mobile library which will be
parked up on the Castle mound for special event days throughout
the exhibitions run. Visitors to the library van will be able to
enter a draw for the very special prize of a set of books signed by
Cressida Cowell and an original framed drawing by the author.
Cressida has kindly agreed to read one of her stories for a special
film that will be shown at libraries across Norfolk on Saturday 6
February to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and National
Libraries Day. At 11am all libraries will read the same chapter
from her book, to create the biggest story time in Norfolk!
Viking re-enactors will also be parading through the city waving
banners saying Love your Library on National Library Day
with the idea of getting people to follow the Vikings to the
library, once they have viewed the exhibition in the Castle.
Commenting on this collaboration, Jennifer Holland, Assistant
Director for Norfolk County Councils Community and
Environmental Services said: Libraries and Museums have
worked on many successful projects together, and we are very
pleased to be sharing a part of the Deadly Dragons season.
Stories about dragons are always popular and the mobile library
will be full of exciting books for all the family.

079final+1.indd 12
She is one of the biggest childrens authors in the world and Ive
no doubt this exhibition will prove to be hugely popular with
family audiences.
The colourful, creative world of Cressidas books has been
delighting children since they first appeared in 2003. The series
has now sold over 7 million books worldwide, and translated
into 37 languages. Cressida grew up in London but each year her
family spent holidays on a small, uninhabited Scottish island.
Her father built a stone house there and in the evenings would
tell tales of the Vikings who had invaded the island and of the
dragons who, according to legend, lived in the caves along the
cliffs.
Cressida thought it possible that dragons might live in that wild,
stormy place and by the age of nine she began to draw and write
stories about Vikings and dragons. As an adult she developed
this theme into the immensely popular series How to Train Your
Dragon published by Hodder. Now her imaginative world has
been turned into an exhibition, something which has delighted
Cressida:
I am incredibly excited and honoured that the How to Train
Your Dragon books are the subject of an exhibition. I hope that
a whole new generation of children will be as fascinated by
dragons and Vikings as I was when I was a child. I visited when
the amazing GoGoDragons were in residence, so Im especially
pleased that the exhibition is opening in Norwich.
Whether you are already a fan of How to Train Your Dragon
or encountering Hiccup and Toothless for the first time, you
will find A Vikings Guide to Deadly Dragons a delightful and
inspirational exhibition.

DRY JANUARY !!?
Ironic isnt it in probably the wettest and mildest start to new year in recent years,
there is a national movement to encourage us all to stave off the favourite tipple
(whatever that might be) and have a month off the alcohol. So why is it, that when I
need to drive, or its just there, I can take it or leave it and the moment that I say to
myself, no alcohol for the month thats it, the craving monkey is sat firmly on my
shoulder chattering in my ear at every opportunity? I even had to miss out the booze
aisle in the supermarket the other day, it was just nuts. To coin a phrase lol is that lots
of laughs or just code for lunatic on loose I am really not sure! I do have to laugh at
myself and my friends who have joined me in this challenge, maybe we will make it, but
January seems to be such a long month
Sadly for many along the coast here January has brought more than they expected with
flash floods bringing sadness and hardship to some who have been unfortunate to have
been through it before and for some their first experience. Its very different seeing it
on the telly and being so removed, to hearing it first hand from those its happened to.
Often in those first few weeks after the all the hullaballoo of the festive season, there
is an air of flat resignation, and a distinctly empty purse! For those effected there are
weeks and often months of disruption to try and manage at the same time as holding
family, body and soul together. On reflection rather than mourning the bareness of my
purse its made me very aware and thankful for what my family and I have. Maybe its
just people around here, or maybe its part of the distinct North Norfolk culture, but this
seems to be a quality that is embedded in everyone I meet. Its a quality that I think
makes this probably one of the best places to live. Of course there are always things that
can be improved, but that leaves us with the opportunity to do something that can make
a difference.
And change is on the horizon here in Mundesley with new building developments by
the school and over at the Paston end of the village. Having spoken to a few people
there is, as expected mixed views. Those who believe it would be welcoming in
and strengthening our already thriving local community, and those hoping that the
percentage of holiday homes does not increase dramatically. My fear would always be
of turning into a ghost town outside of tourist season as some of the resorts further north
have already done so. Whilst we welcome visitors as essential to the livelihood of our
area, there is something lovely about those first few weeks when it feels like the village
returns to the locals! Its a new phenomenon for me and my hubby to feel so strongly
about where we live. Its what made us come in the first place having migrated from
down country. But to put it all in context and keep my feet firmly on the ground as my
darling offspring informed me, of course the best part of living here is the fact that he
can get chocolate cake from the fish and chip shop!
PS the chattering Monkey won I caved in to a glass or two of Vino. Yep I confess
I am rubbish at this stuff!
