Well the proposed walk from Overstrand to Cromer was called off. After a number of very mild days and good weather woke up to high winds and driving rain. So abandoned plans.
A few weeks ago I wrote to the Prime Minister to obtain some national recognition for our village of Hethersett after we had been named Norfolk sports village of the year and Norfolk Champion of Champions. Thought we deserved some kind of plaudits for all the voluntary work put in by so many people and fitting in with his idea of a big society.
Waited sometime for a reply which eventually came from a minion stating that my concerns had been sent to the cabinet office for a reply. Do these people bother to read what they have been sent? I was asking for recognition for the work in the village on fitness and health issues and not expressing any concerns.
Also rather miffed that certain people in the village were nominated to carry the Olympic torch on its way to the London games in July. One person in particular deserves the honour for setting up a village Olympic committee and organising a weekend full of events over the past two years with an Olympic theme. He was turned down. Those that have been successful include the usual Lollipop school crossing person and even a woman who walked round her village hall for charity and a shop owner who has modernised his shop. Another example of decisions not being made on merit but rather on fulfilling quotas for the various categories.
