📰 Cromer Carnival’s Children’s Week Kicks Off with a Burst of Creativity and Community Spirit 📰

Then, as the first week of Cromer Carnival (Official) Children’s Week comes to a close, the town has again shown why this is such a well-loved event. This week, chalk on the prom, sandcastles and beach sports have brought a smile to many faces, as well as a sense of fun and community.

Moreover, we saw the end of an era with Ben Jamima stepping down after 10 years, and Melissa Leanne taking over, ready to revamp this classic event.

⚡️Congratulations Cromer RNLI for a Fantastic Day!⚡️

It was a pleasure to attend the annual Cromer Lifeboat Open Day! What a remarkable show of community spirit, with so many helpers, organizations, and volunteers pulling together! This event not only celebrates all that the RNLI stands for but also gives people the opportunity to learn more while having a wonderful time! A big thank you to the brilliant staff at Cromer Pier for playing an integral role on the day!

⚡️Please note! Announcement via The Cromer Carnival Team! ⚡️Update: Carnival Day Program Change

As we all know, following the crash of a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight this year, both the Memorial Flight’s Spitfires and their Hurricane have been grounded pending the outcome of the investigation.

Just to let you know that the Spitfire/Hurricane pair that we had booked for Cromer Carnival this year was going to do a flypast on Carnival day on Wednesday 21st August 2024.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is notifying us this morning that the flypast will be the magnificent Avro Lancaster Bomber at 14:45hrs instead of the Spitfire/Hurricane display.

The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of the Second World War. There are only two airworthy Lancasters left in the world - 7,377 were built.

Lancaster PA474 was completed at Vickers Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield, Chester, on 31 May 1945, post-VE day. The war in the Far East ended before she had even been delivered and she never saw action.

⚡️Trending places of the week! Beautiful Blakeney⚡️

Blakeney scored the most views on NORFUKNEWS last week! Of course, North Norfolk is stunning! I'm delighted to announce we had a very successful Zoom meeting with some established travel writers this morning and a schedule has been put in place for August to visit some amazing places in our region. Where is your favourite place?

Delighted to announce that the creative aspect of NORFUKNEWS has received a wonderful response! I'm truly grateful to the very established UK photographers, artists, and writers who have offered assistance with ideas, events, and the actual layout after I pushed a message out there via an international Zoom gathering. This will form a base for some very talented local creatives! Interviews will play a role, so I'll be building a small studio space where we can record them or indeed upgrade equipment for location work. Such is the substance of social media when used correctly. I sat at one of my favourite thinking spots in Cromer earlier today to focus on the required schedule to achieve all this. Things look clearer sometimes in silent solitude amid a Cromer sunset. For once, I didn't have a camera, but this image I captured before re-creates the scenario beautifully! It is near The Hotel de Paris overlooking the sea! I wonder how many people have sat on that bench throughout time?

⚡️Celebrating 11th Year as Cromer Carnival Photographer! ⚡️

The official photoshoot for the Cromer Carnival Royal Party took place at North Lodge Park last weekend and signified the start of another carnival adventure in a few weeks! This will be my 11th year of this three-week-long assignment, and I am as enthusiastic now as I was a decade ago. There'll be plenty of coverage on NORFUKNEWS, with regular updates and pictorials.

Do you have any memories from Cromer Carnival yesteryear? What is your favourite event?

⚡️Trending post of the week! The Norfolk Marathon!⚡️

On what turned out to be one of the wettest days since records began, the Norfolk Marathon showed what runners as a community could achieve. An estimated 1,000 got through the deluge and finished the course, turning an endurance test into something to celebrate Norfolk as a community.

This has certainly busted the myth that yesterday's news is old news! The Norfolk Marathon report has claimed the No. 1 Spot on NORFUKNEWS! I'm excited to announce that we'll be building the sports section leading into August, and there has been a great response already!

We'll be keeping this very local! Do you belong to an established club or sporting association or sports event in Norfolk that wants to share your history with the community? Then you should help us make our NORFUKNEWS sports section a centre of information, celebration, and community spirit. If you have an idea to share or questions to ask, please reach out to me and let’s have the conversation. Please feel free to comment also.

⚡️EXCITING NORFUKNEWS UPDATES⚡️

I'm delighted to announce that the first month of the publication's launch has exceeded all expectations, thanks to your love and support! We are still in a trial run before the official launch at the end of July. Possible sponsors and advertising opportunities have already come forward, and I'll start to take those on board when the site statistics reach a favourable point. At this rate, it will be sooner than I thought, and I'll be sharing the extraordinary stats soon.

I am overjoyed to see that people have also come forward with article contributions, including journalists I have admired over the years! This is so encouraging.

I have received requests from budding young journalists who would like to help out. There is a guide on how to write articles for NORFUKNEWS that I've published on the site as well.

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the newsletter! We already have 500 subscribers! The newsletters will start going out next month with insights, news, and announcements.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support! 🌟

🌟🚴‍♂️ Trending Article of the Week! 🚴‍♂️🌟

Inspired by his late granddad, Alex Chastney, a fiercely proud 19-year-old from Briston, pedalled his way from Aberystwyth Pier in Wales to the adjacent Cromer’s Pier of the Year some 500km later.

In honour of the departed and as a bid to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, Alex undertook this endurance feat. 💪❤️

Let’s give a huge round of applause to Alex for his incredible journey and dedication to a worthy cause! 👏👏👏

Congratulations to the organisers of the Royal Norfolk Show for a wonderful event. Attending and creating a pictorial story on the first day was a pleasure. Above all, it was fantastic to chat to people who attended from far and wide. The spectacle's meaning and substance are tenfold and opens an opportunity for youngsters, businesses, artists and creators to mingle in its vibrant atmosphere. There are far too many things going on to cover everything but the idea was to provide a general synopsis of the day as it unfolded. Well done to all involved.

Exclusive NORFUKNEWS video coverage of Crest and Nidda's twinning visit to Cromer and the ‘key exchange’ celebrations marking decades of friendship between them. A friendly group of international guests met at the historic The Cliftonville Hotel in Cromer for speeches and a presentation. Featuring our town’s very own Town Crier, Mark Northway, and the Chair of the Cromer Twinning Association, Jilly Boocock.

Congratulations to the Cromer Twinning Association for a fantastic effort during Crest and Nidda's visit to our beautiful town of Cromer this month. Despite a little rain, the sun shone later during the fabulous 1960s festival on the iconic Cromer Pier 🌞 It was a wonderful opportunity to show our visitors the rich history of Cromer through the Cromer Museum and other local attractions. The weekend concluded with a heartwarming gathering at The Cliftonville Hotel, featuring inspiring speeches and celebrating the decades-long friendships between our towns. 👫✨

Changing and rebuilt, repeatedly battered and damaged and then, rejuvenated by storms, this constant, lilting edifice of the seafront houses one of Britain’s last remaining live variety shows. What are your memories of Cromer Pier?

This exciting and touching novel leads the impetuous heroine in the turbulent odyssey of her life by streets full of action in 1960s Hackney, the author Adrianne Roy whose origins are from a Greek Cypriot background achieves telling excellence from humour, love and pain going down of her contemporaries in the cultural change.

I am delighted to announce that I have got the name of my online magazine right! It is NORFUKNEWS, in case you hadn’t caught the obvious play on ‘Norfolk news’. My startup has been widely publicised – far more than I could have ever hoped. TV presenters and journalist friends across the country have been agog at the news. And it is all good.

It’s a great name, so versatile it works as a URL as well as a graphic, and you can build whatever you want on it. I’ve seen some seriously twisted images where someone already, yes, inserted a C between the U and the K. Man, where does that, um, question come from? I can’t control it but I have prepared a detailed article telling you where the name actually came from and its multiple meanings. It's worth a read!

I’m committed to keeping NORFUKNEWS available for everyone, and you don’t need a subscription to get it. What an incredible ride this has been so far, and we’re only getting started! Thank you all for the DMs, texts and emails of support – really grateful for all of them and I’m trying (slowly, but I am trying) to get to them all.

You’re all stars! I’m delighted that 200 of you signed up for our newsletter in the first couple of days, and the rate of signups is escalating! This is a project for which I have high hopes, and I look forward to revealing more details around the time of the official launch at the very end of our BETA run in June.
