Flint and thatch... sparkling rivers and broads, rolling fields and meadows, Norfolk is far from flat... popular seaside resorts and harbours - and rich in local colour and dialect.

2011 DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS OF THE YEAR!

A Celebration of Norfolk Dialect  
   

A Celebration of Norfolk Dialect will again be part of the Cromer Festival of Music, Dance and Speech, and, as last year, will have Colin Burleigh adjudicating the many entries.

“Once again I feel honoured to be asked to adjudicate,” says Colin, “and I look forward to seeing our regulars again and, hopefully, some new faces as well!”

It’s bound to be a good ‘dew’ so why not come along and join the audience on the night.
(Details opposite.)

Better still, why not consider entering the competition?

 

Details of the various classes are set out below:

NORFOLK DIALECT CLASSES

Class 121: 16 years and under – Own choice; any piece, poem or limerick, may be own composition. (3 minutes) Adjudicated

Class 122: 17 years and over – Any piece written in dialect, bust must not be own combustion. (3 minutes) Adjudicated
