First word
ugust is the height of the
holiday season and it
Aseemed appropriate to
have a cover photo that was taken
by Ian Burt at a Hunstanton
Lifeboat Station Sandcastle
Competition. This young man
competed in 2019. Buckets at the
ready - the 2023 competition takes
place on 3rd August.
News of Dick Melton’s
retirement from writing resulted in
a large postbag and a selection of
your thoughts and memories can
be found on pages 36 and 52. The
Lodge Hotel and Bar are
sponsoring a competition to recognise his contribution over the years,
see page 76.
Another Hunstanton legend, and close to Dick’s heart, is the Kit-
Kat and Martin Chown’s article on page 42 will evoke fond memories
for many readers.
The SHARP archaeological project runs until 11th August, so if
you’d like a tour of the site to see what goes on turn to page 8. There
are also lots of other activities and events listed in the centre pages.
This issue is full, thank you to everyone who has written, provided
information and images. Thanks also to all our advertisers, please
support them if you are able.
With best wishes to you all and especially to those who are awaiting
exam results - don’t panic, you will come out the other side, and
whatever happens, you will be OK.
Until next month, PRINT IS KING!
