2020 ISSUE
A warm welcome to our 2020 edition of The Felixstowe Magazine. For those of you who might be new to reading this magazine, there’s much to be said about how we try our very hardest to champion the best of this town... and not necessarily championing those things that get regular press coverage, but really, our heart is in showcasing those humble people, groups, events and local businesses that might stay under the radar a little. We make every effort to find the heroes, the visionaries, the inspiring, the hard grafters, the entrepreneurs and the creatives because whether it’s in a little or a large way, these folks make a huge difference to our town. Launching into a brand-new decade we not only look back at the incredible year 2019 was, but we also look forward to the wonder that 2020 will be. Enjoy the read and please feel free to get in touch with me directly if you have something you’d like to showcase in Felixstowe.

New Year, New Job, New Outlook on Life Random ramblings by our local lad Okay so we’ve made it through another decade although in my case not entirely unscathed; but I’m okay. 2019 wasn’t the best of years for me personally but I won’t burden you with the details right now. What I will say is that the old adage ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ is kind of relevant for me right now. Part of the outcome from last year’s unfortunate events was the decision to walk away from the corporate world – the emails, the stress, the unpaid late nights, the birthday collection for Maureen in accounts who you’ve never met – and do something truly worthwhile. By the way when I told an old friend of mine that she said: “Nah really? You’ve actually done it! You’ve finally become a Butlins Redcoat?” Not exactly. You see I decided to join the Ambulance service. I must stress I’m not a paramedic; I’m the other end of the process so to speak. Paramedics save people’s lives and take the sick into hospital. I on the other hand take people out of hospital or indeed sick people between hospitals, or back into hospital for further treatment. On occasion it can simply be taking a geriatric to have a leg looked at, hence the lovely nickname ‘Gerri Ferry’. Between marriage proposals from 92 year old ladies and being shown how big a cannula bruise is you meet some fascinating people with intriguing tales to tell. Gloria, whose primroses have already flowered aside, I met the aunt of the chap who had crafted the sculpture of
Darcy Bussell (until ‘Strictly’ came along I thought that was the name of a dance move, not an actual dancer) located outside the Royal Opera House in London. When I wasn’t recovering a runaway zimmer frame that threatened to wake up Phyllis at the back of the ambulance who by now was snoring at an illegal level of decibels, I listened with intense interest to a couple originally from Blackpool. You see they used to work at the Tower Ballroom and Winter Gardens when Blackpool was the mecca of entertainment in the UK. Who they hadn’t met isn’t worth mentioning except perhaps Sue Pollard. But possibly the most magic moment was an elderly lady who shared a secret with me from the stretcher that had become a thorn in her side. I became the only person she’d ever told. Her relief was palpable. It was a privilege and an honour to be that person. In fact the entire job is in my in view a privilege. So you see when a door closes another truly does open and the view from it is more often than not a brighter one. So may your view from whichever door you’re looking through this year be a happy, vibrant one. The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 7
Two-faced or Single-m 2019 VERSUS 2020 - BY REVEREND ANDREW DOTCHIN
A wonderful insight into the past year of local reverend In Greek mythology the god Janus, after whom we name the month January, has two faces. One looks backwards to the past and the other looks forwards to the future. As the year turns it is often helpful to be a little like Janus and do the same. It’s now just over four years since we moved to Felixstowe, I’ve been trying to live here since I was 18! I am glad that my hopes for life in Felixstowe have been proven correct. Firstly, and above all else, Felixstowe is a generous place. Throughout the last year I have seen people dip their hands into their pockets to help others. Some of the causes that are helped are local and some far away but all of them are well supported by people of good heart. Look at a few of the events that have enriched our community and at the same time raised funds for others. The Rotary fun run, The Carnival, The Mayor’s Charity Events, The Christmas Day Dip, and 8
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
The Rudolph Run and many more. The last raised nearly £8000 just by itself. And all this doesn’t even cover the events organised by individuals. I remember last January being slightly more chilly after the Rainbow Group at Level Two shaved my beard, my moustache, and my head to raise to help Langer Primary children go on outings. And where would so many of the hard-pressed of our town be without the support of the pop-up shops run by the BASIC Life Charity and their volunteers, the meals provided by the Salvation Army, and the friendship offered through Hope Trust and the Felixstowe Dementia Action Alliance? Felixstowe is also, as befits a maritime town, a welcoming place. According to the census we are one of the most ethnically diverse communities in Suffolk. Look at the business along our High Streets and see how many are run by hard working people who were not born here yet have made Felixstowe their home. Due to the pressures of the economy, seafarers do not have as much shore time as previously but, for the vast majority, a friendly welcome is offered. On Easter Day it was a pleasure to have six Filipino seafarers join us towards the end of

the service, stay with us for fellowship, and each leave with a woollen cap knitted by members of the Mothers’ Union. The only glitch was that I stumbled over my words trying to pronounce a blessing in Tagalog! Talking about the Port. It is easy to forget that it handles over 40% of national imports and nearly 10% of Suffolk is in work because of the Port. So, it was a great fillip for the Port and our town to be chosen as the place where MSC Isabella, the newest of the largest container ships in the MSC fleet, was blessed and named here. In general Felixstowe is also a happy community. People are determined to look on the bright side of life. Perhaps it’s the sea air, the well-cared for gardens, the Promenade which caters for all sorts and types of people along its length that does this. But even at the end of the hardest days, and 2019 brought too many of them, I often breathe out a happy sigh and in my prayers thank God for being allowed to work and serve here. This zeitgeist spreads to others as well. Here are a few of them. The Felixstowe Finds beach pebble group, Felixstowe LitterPickers, Felixstowe Community Garden, all
the establishments such as Cuppa and Crafty Coffee who have opened their doors for events like ‘Meet Up Mondays’ and Timebank. Add to this the latest initiative from Darren Aitchison and others to provide ‘Hanging Coffee’ for those who are feeling the pinch. These newer groups

follow the well-trodden steps of many other voluntary organisations across our community. All is looking rosy for 2020 then? Yes, but we need to be on the guard against the cynicism that often surrounds charitable works. This too easily raises its head on the The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 9
H
many Social Media platforms that are available today. As with any other ‘news’ source it’s not the medium that can be the challenge but the content. Too easily, like Janus, we can turn our intention of valuing the past so that we can shape the future, a single-mindedness, into a carping and criticism of the hard work of others and become a little bit two-faced. We seem to be becoming a nation that rewards hard work for others with cries of ‘why didn’t you help me as well?’ Too often this has become the norm for our public and political life as well. In the Church of England, which is well-versed at having arguments, we struggle with how we are to have ‘Good Disagreement’ – which sounds like an oxymoron! How do we continue to live and work alongside those who have different views to ourselves without descending into the demonising of each other? We have not yet got to the answer, though we are hoping to have some idea of a good way forward later this year. The Archbishop has asked two things of us. The first is simply that we choose to be kind in all our relationships but especially with those with whom we 10
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
disagree. It costs nothing and will enable deeper conversations. The second is that we all sign up to the Church of England digital charter. It is not onerous and simply asks that we are courteous to each other. That reminds me of another thing Felixstowe is good at, being courteous. In a previous life it was all about greeting people in the street, gentlemen doffing hats, and helping old ladies across the street. In a cyber age it takes a little more effort, but costs just as little and will bring great reward. In 2020 let’s make Felixstowe a generous and welcoming, happy and courteous community that will bring a smile to the face of all who live here and all who visit. Photo captions: 1.

Intolerance Testing
with Health Sense by Laura Mounteney Welcome to Health Sense Are the foods you are eating making you ill? Would you like help to change your diet, nutrition and lifestyle to get your health and life back on track?
We can provide non-invasive testing services which improve health by identifying and helping eliminate many of the basic underlying imbalances which can cause health problems.
Food Intolerance Testing Our simple, painless food intolerance test is able to pinpoint potentially harmful foods that could be causing your symptoms. I am able to offer you advice on a sensible elimination diet, as well as a vitamin and mineral check which is provided alongside basic nutritional counselling. Over 100 substances which include common foods and drinks are tested during our consultation, plus vitamins and minerals deficiency check. The equipment I use is an electronic machine, which works on a physics principle, that measures the body’s resistance to substances. If a substance is causing a problem then it will affect the body’s measured energy resistance. The test is completely painless and is best described as a ball point pen touching the tip of your finger upon an acupuncture point.

Celebrating 20 years BASIC Life Charity celebrate twenty years as a registered charity in 2020 Although the charity had been donating to meet local needs as far back as 1997, it was on 24th January 2000 that it became registered formally with the Charity Commission. So much has happened over the last two decades. The first shop opened next to the former Safeway (now Morrisons) back in 2000 with the idea being that we could offer Christian support to local residents in a practical way and without the need to preach or force our beliefs on anybody. The idea became a success and over the years we have grown to now having two traditional charity shops (17 Hamilton Road, Felixstowe and 312 High Road, Walton) and a storage and distribution centre. We have donated financial support to countless individuals over the years and have also provided funding to all doctors surgeries, the schools and many local groups and local charities. We have paid for free breakfasts for the pupils of two local schools for over five years now. In March 2013 we opened food banks at each of our shops but quickly realised that we weren’t meeting the needs 12
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
of all people suffering from food insecurity. It became clear that the need had not deepened but had broadened to now include those in work and affected more families. To answer this need we prompted supermarkets to offer their still good to eat, but no longer for sale, items to us. After a considerable amount of negotiating we are now official partners with supermarkets such as Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Lidl, Morrisons and Aldi. We collect around 500 kilos of food per week and redistribute it to local residents via our ‘Pop-Up’ shops. We came up with the ‘Pop-Up’ shop model as our way of making sure everybody who needed food would get some without any reference at all
to their means. They are open to all. The result has been an astounding reduction in local referral-based food bank use. The Pop-Ups now total four per week across Felixstowe with another held monthly. There are others in Leytonstone, Ipswich and Martlesham. We are attempting to obtain Government support to enable the model to be adopted nationwide as we see it as the only way back into ‘shopping’ for those who need food support. While food support is only a very small part of our work it is the work which is seen mostly by the public. At the same time we are still meeting the needs of local people and are operating a very significant online presence with
1500 books listed on Amazon and just under 1000 items continually on sale on Ebay. We also sell items at local auction houses to enable us to pass on the proceeds to local people. Thank you to all who have supported us over the last twenty years and the volunteers who have been amazing with their dedication and hard work. We are always very pleased to receive donations and our paypal address is basiclife@live.co.uk. Many thanks, Graham Denny - Founder/Administrator The BASIC Life Charity Reg.

We also have a 12 foot stock holding area in the layout, which enables us to assemble a quantity of complete trains ready to run as
required. These modules can be joined together to form layouts of various sizes according to the space which is available to us. As well as running Open Days in March and October, we also run the Felixstowe N Gauge Model Railway Show in June, when we invite other clubs to join us with their layouts. Most of our members have built their own layouts which receive invitations to various model railway shows across East Anglia, We have attended shows in Norwich, Sudbury, Spalding, Leiston and Bressingham and the NEC in Birmingham, to name just a few.

The Dorian Singers Founded in 1981, The Dorian Singers are a small, friendly mixed-voice choir with a passion for singing choral music of all periods and styles. Our recent concerts have included Handel’s ‘Messiah’, church music from the Tudor period, Joseph Horowitz’s ‘Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo’, a medley of Abba hits and even a semi-staged performance of Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Trial by Jury’. The singers love the wide variety of repertoire, and so do our audiences. In 2019 we gave our first-ever joint concert with the municipal choir from Felixstowe’s twin town of Wesel, in front of a packed audience which included the Mayor and a number of other civic dignitaries. As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations next year, we are hoping to pay a return visit to Wesel. We normally give three or four concerts a year in the Felixstowe area, and rehearse from 7.15-9.30pm on Wednesday evenings during term time at Trimley St Martin Primary School.
Under our dynamic and experienced musical director, Alan Loader, rehearsals are always enjoyable and rewarding, and our subscription rates are very competitive!

Tickets will be available soon from The Card Centre, Hamilton Road, Felixstowe and from choir members. We hope to see you there! The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 15
Emmaus Suffolk LOCAL CHARITY
Doing something for the community and the environment Emmaus Suffolk is a new and different way of decreasing the chances for the homeless and long term unemployed in Suffolk. Unlike the traditional Emmaus model, at present we do not have residential accommodation, but we work with and encourage our non-residential companions to enter back into the workplace and to lead a more fulfilling life. We opened our Dales Road hub in 2016, followed by our retail unit in Sailmakers Shopping Centre in 2017 and our Felixstowe shop in 2018. We are continuing to grow, providing more opportunities and support for our non-residential companions. Everyone at Emmaus plays a part in keeping the community and the business running smoothly. One of the great things about working at Emmaus Suffolk is that you never lose sight of the people that you are working for, literally. The people that we help, the 16
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
community that we are building are here together every day. There is no faceless corporate machine, no head office in a faraway place detached from the people we are helping and the people helping us. No one is too important to make their own tea or make tea for anyone else, or help fulfil a café order if they happen to be in the kitchen. And yes, tea is important – we’ll take a Yorkshire if you’re buying. If you’re old enough to remember, you may be thinking this all sounds a bit too much like the Waltons, a bit too saccharine. Okay, so there are occasional EastEnders style dramas but they blow over as fast as they arrived. Generally, we are one big happy slightly dysfunctional family that solves its problems with a good chat and a cup of tea (disclaimer: this article is not sponsored by the UK Tea Council, we just like tea – especially with a toasted teacake in our Community Café – shameless plug alert). Our hub at The Dales is always busy, occasionally slightly manic but still manages to be a haven for many. Whether people come to keep themselves busy, combat loneliness or
to learn a new skill they always find a willing ear and often in turn become one themselves. We include our customers when we talk about our community as many of them are regulars who visit the café and catch up on all the news and have formed friendships with volunteers and staff.

D’s Story
Valentine said, “Joining the team at Emmaus Suffolk has made a huge difference in my life, the team there are like a family to me, there is no them and us – just us.”
One of our positive stories comes from D who started coming to us in June 2018. She is classified as disabled and unable to work, formerly she owned a beauty salon. She found being unable to work left her isolated and lonely at home. D said, “Coming here has stopped me from being alone and really helped me to feel part of my community again, coming here means I am not isolated and alone at home. It feels like a family here and people are very tolerant. I don’t have to explain myself on the bad days, companions look out for each other and there is always support.”
‘‘
‘‘
After a long time of sad experiences my work here has really helped me improve my sense of self-worth.
Emmaus Suffolk has also helped me beat my depression, by meeting people and socialising.
Valentine was released from Prison in July 2018 and gained a place at Emmaus Greenwich with residential accommodation. Valentine is currently completing a Masters degree with Anglia Ruskin University.
D has completed the customer service and retail course offered at Emmaus Suffolk, accredited by Derby College. She is currently completing the Mental Health awareness course NVQ level 2 and volunteers in all areas of the shop including running the till.
He has not re-offended and his future is looking very positive.

· It has reduced my drinking and made me less depressed.
House Clearance project: Development of a social enterprise based on a house clearance business the intended outcomes being:
· I find it easier to talk to strangers than previously. I have less anxiety generally.
• Primarily to enhance the opportunity for non-residential companions to gain different work experiences.
· If I make a mistake it doesn’t matter, I am supported in how to do this correctly. This makes me feel safe and able to move forward.
• To generate additional income which will contribute to the self sufficiency of Emmaus Suffolk.
· I have been made to feel valued. I feel safe here. It is never a dull day here and never a day goes by without us celebrating a victory however small for one of our companions. Please take the time to pop into one of our shops if you’re passing and soak up a bit of the atmosphere, you won’t regret it.

Nursing around the Globe From Ghana to India, meet two local nurses who are lending a hand to those in need Heather McRoberts and Pamela Quinn are nurses living in Walton with many years experience of health and wellbeing. Heather works in Sanctuary’s Montague Road Nursing Home in Felixstowe which specialises in Mental Health and Dementia. Pam works in the community as a District Nurse. Together they set up the Dementia Action Alliance in Felixstowe before passing it on to others to continue the work. Heather is a complementary therapist and while on trips offers these to patients. In 2011 the vision was created to travel to foreign countries to offer our knowledge, skills, expertise and compassion during our holidays. Heather says, “We are two women of a certain age and we researched and 20

planned our first trip which was to Nepal. We spent 9 months raising funds for our trip by selling donated goods in car boot sales. We made preserves and produced a variety of crafts for raffles and sales and organised quizzes, and music events. We arrived at Mumbai airport at 3am and realised that we were on our way to the destination that we had worked so hard to get to! Wow! Our next trip took us to Peru where we found altitude and weather conditions challenging but felt that we had contributed to the well-being of the rescued street children that we were supporting. This brings us to our next planned trip. We decided to go to another continent, Africa was our choice and Ghana the country. Due to an accident of life threatening injury the week before our trip only Pam was able to go. The healthcare needs of the country were evident from the outset, our knowledge was invaluable and all support was gratefully received. Our next trip was planned closer to home to enable recuperation of the member of our team to gain confidence to continue.
We went to Bulgaria and witnessed outdated services and social deprivation. Our return trip to Ghana 2018 was to Jamestown in Accra to continue vital work from past experience and insights,

to focus on the delivery of sustainable and appropriate needs of the community. We set up our own health and wellbeing clinic offering health checks, assessments and advice alongside Reflexology, Reiki and anything else
we could. We gave analgesics, creams, tooth paste, shampoo and whatever we had brought including our clothes and suitcases. We returned with only handbags and the clothes on our backs. In 2019 we returned again to the same place in Accra and again saw over 150 people in 2 weeks. We treated people in the open air, temperatures of 33c and no running water for several days. There were dogs, children and chickens running around our feet. We are therefore raising funds to allow this work to continue, this time in India, south of Delhi, in the slums of Faridabad. We will be taking some equipment, donated goods, and also hope to buy locally to boost the economy within the region that we will be based. If you would like to donate we have a justgiving account in the name of Heather McRoberts or follow us on facebook as H2d volunteers and follow the link. We give talks to groups in the area and we are still collecting medical supplies to take out, which we can pick up locally or contact us to arrange collection.” Email Heather at: hmcr2013@gmail.com.

Book Review
A book review of Window on the Bay by Debbie Macomber What do two single mothers do when they find themselves with empty nests and no romantic prospects on the horizon? Well, the first thing is to plan a trip to Paris, and the second is to prepare for the unexpected. In “Window on the Bay,” a 2019 novel by New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, Jenna Boltz and best friend Maureen Zelinsky commiserate with each other about the struggles of mid-life. While revelling in their newfound freedom, they are also staving off feelings of loneliness. Coming from failed marriages and still reeling from disappointments and betrayals, the two are wary of opening up to new people. However, while appreciating the love of family and cherishing their longtime friendship, they find there is something missing from their lives. Deep down, they both feel the absence of partners to share their lives with. When a near tragedy leads Jenna to Dr. Rowan Lancaster, and job duties force Maureen to interact with rough-aroundthe-edges Logan, both women have a hard time ignoring their feelings, even though these men are not who either had in mind when thinking about possible future relationships. Jenna vowed to never get involved with another surgeon (her marriage to one was enough), and Maureen, a prim and proper wine and ballet aficionado, cannot imagine what she could possibly have in common with 26
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
a construction worker who drinks beer, drives a pick-up truck, and is a proud owner of NFL season tickets. In “Window on the Bay,” Macomber shows that opening our hearts and minds to people who are different from us can lead to whole new experiences and put us on a path to happiness. By staying in our comfort zones, we may be missing out on worlds of new opportunities. Through her excellent writing, we get to share in these women’s triumphs and heartbreaks as they traverse the uneven landscape that is life. We are shown that although our lives do not always follow our carefully laid-out plans, and certain dreams don’t always come true, the twists and turns that occur can sometimes lead to even better outcomes.

Felixstowe Book Festival
Do you love to read? Do you love to read? The annual Felixstowe Book Festival, held at the end of June, is the opportunity to meet authors, listen to their views and hear where their inspiration comes from. Budding authors can attend writers’ workshops around the town, while the library hosts events for children. Over the weekend the Festival always creates a real buzz, giving a great reason for visitors to discover the delights of our area, usually promising to return again! However, the team of volunteers who run the very successful Felixstowe Book Festival are hard at work throughout the year. As well as ‘Friends’ events and a regular blog, new for 2020 is the Cuppa Book Club, held at the Cuppa Café in High Street West, where some of the books that will be featured in the festival are discussed each month. “We hope to inspire people to read the books and also book tickets to come to meet the authors,” explained local author Ruth Dugdale who, with Liz Rastrick, leads the discussions. Ruth also invited people to email their questions for the authors when they come to the Orwell Hotel, the festival base, from Friday 26th June - Sunday 28th June,
Ruth and Liz summarise the books (cleverly without ‘spoilers’ for the sake of those attending who haven’t yet read the chosen books) and there follows some lively debate about plots, characters and book reading generally. At the first meeting in January forty booklovers attended to discuss thrillers, chat, and enjoy cups of tea, coffee and cake. Over the months leading to the Felixstowe Book Festival, chosen books for the Cuppa Book Club, will include a biography of the Mountbattens, a ghost story, the children’s festival and much more. It is hoped that the book club will continue in some form after the 2020 festival. Meetings are free (just buy your ‘cuppa’) and are held on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7pm. Details, and a full list of books that will be discussed are on the Festival website. The idea of local resident Meg Reid, Felixstowe Book Festival booking opens on 9th April and a full list of attending authors and workshops will be announced on the website on 6 April. As always, books will be of many genres and there will be something for everyone, from spies to murder, history to travel and biographies to knitting! Book early, as some authors are very popular. www.felixstowebookfestival.co.uk The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 27
Trimley Station Community Trust WRITTEN BY ADRIAN REYNOLDS
Supporting our quaint local train station A Brummie relocated to Suffolk, what fun! Swapped the city for village life by the sea and a project as well. I must have been mad! After a few years of settling into my new work role I saw a poster advertising an open meeting to discuss the future of the station buildings in Trimley. Being a bit of a railway buff (sounds better than train spotter) I decided to show my village community spirit and go along. It was quite well attended which surprised me so I took my seat and listened to the speakers with interest. The beach station, I learned, had been bulldozed without warning and apparently Trimley would have been next but for the intervention of a conservation officer who had slapped some kind of protection order on the building.
28
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
Well done that man, I thought. The speakers finished their call to arms asking for community help to restore the buildings - all offers of help would be welcomed, carpenters, plumbers and the like would be needed to get the project started. There was a table by the entrance where you could put your contact details and your skills. Now, I’m a desk pilot with zero DIY skills, but I wanted to help so I took a gamble and put my name in the section ‘director’. Well that’ll teach me - a few days later I was invited to attend an informal chat about the project and came out of the room a director of the newly formed Trimley Station Community Trust Limited. So who are we and what are we doing? Currently we are seven directors with three advisors and over 300 ‘friends’ and our aim is to save, restore and return the redundant building that is Trimley Station. If you’ve ever been to or through Trimley on the branch line between Ipswich and
Felixstowe, you will have seen these buildings. Built in 1891 by the same chap who designed and built London’s Liverpool Street Station, the station buildings were closed in 1967 although the platform and rail service still operates. Our vision is to renovate the buildings to incorporate a community cafe and shop - supplying good quality locally sourced produce together with a place for the community to get together for a chat and a cuppa. We will also offer space for local groups to meet - we have already been approached by a couple of groups who are interested in taking space, in turn offering their services back to the community. We are discussing the potential of creating a mini museum within the building which will document the history of the rail line, port and, with the help of the village recorders, local village life.
However, that’s not all we need. The project needs the help and support of the local community. Do you fancy becoming a trustee, or join the fundraising team? There’s lots of opportunities to support us so if you fancy getting involved or want more information drop us a mail info@trimleystation.org.uk or leave a message on our hotline 01394 794094 and we will get back to you. Let’s hope 2020 will be the year we deliver what we started out to achieve. Photograhy by Stephen Rampley Top left: Celebrating the tenancy from Greater Anglia. With Neville Mayes (director), Bryan Frost (supporter), Adrian Reynolds (Chairman), Aaron Burrell (supporter), Theresa Coffey (MP) and Robert Scrimgeour (supporter).
All in all very ambitious which is why we are in the process of preparing a National Heritage Lottery bid to help raise the £350k needed.

Felixstowe Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Society Bring a little friendly drama to your life with FADOS Last year we decided to move into new fields and present a production of The Importance of being Earnest by Oscar Wilde in December. All was going swimmingly until disaster struck in the way of a horrible virus which laid three of us low a couple of weeks before the production dates. However, we are all recovered, the new year is with us and we are picking up the pieces! The new dates are Thursday 9th and Friday 10th of April at 7pm. and Saturday 11th a matinee at 3pm. These will take place at Fados House in Walton (behind the BASIC charity shop) tickets are
£8 and early bookings can be made by ringing Su on 01394 671 306. Keep your eyes open for posters and displays in the library and the Co-Op. These should be out by late February.

MYSTERY SHOPPER
The Lighthouse Vintage Tea Rooms
Reviewing everything local, here’s our elusive Mystery Shopper We were delighted to hear that the owners of this gorgeous little shop decided to move from their original premises on Orwell Road. Merging their beautiful fine china and preloved items with a tea room sounded like a match made in heaven, but was it? Well, if you’re looking for the softest toasted teacakes that just melt in your mouth, perfect slices of cake that hit the spot every time and tea that, quite frankly, just washes any form of blues away, then that marriage isn’t just a match made in heaven, it’s utter bliss and the perfect local getaway. If you can’t find hope and reasurrance in those homely hot beverages, you can certainly find peace by losing yourself amongst the beautiful china mugs (sourced directly from the owners own factory called the Milton Pottery in Stoke on Trent), occasional jewellery
item, upcycled furniture and unique preloved items downstairs. The magic touch, as with any place, is the friendly service and abundant care from staff. Now, truth be told I just went in for a cup of tea, a toasted teacake and a cheeky slice of chocolate cake, but there is such a lovely selection of other items on the menu, including a beautiful full afternoon tea complete with all your favourite goodies! I’ll save that one for a special occasion! It was fun to see the lighthouse model inside the shop which, as was explained to us, a way to conceal a supporting post in the middle of the main room. How clever! This creative diguise is the perfect centre piece to the tea room. The walls are adorned with so many interesting vintage photographs, the entire atmosphere of the place oozes respect for the great loves of Felixstowe’s huge heart: sailing, nursing, unique independent shops and tourism.

LOCAL PEOPLE
Happy Globe U K
Here’s two local lads, Brendan and Chris who are setting their goals to make a difference for the environment both near and far It has been a sad year for climate news. Atmospheric carbon dioxide reached over 415 parts per million for the first time since recordings began in 1958 (when they were a mere 315 in comparison), whaling has recommenced in Japan and it has been proven that microplastics are contaminating the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe. Thankfully, although unable to beat fossil fuels, stop sushi hunters or remove plastic from the atmosphere, we at HappyGlobe CIC have also had a big year! We had our first international aid project, working with the JayNii foundation orphanage in Ghana, which has made a lasting impact on the children there. They have frequently sent us videos and photos 34
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
of their continued beach cleans and orphanage improvements using the tools and skills we brought to them. Amazing to see how the children, with so little at their disposal, take such massive pride in looking after and improving their home. Examples to us all and this was a huge milestone for us as we truly believe that education is the key to introducing the habits to people that will make the huge difference collectively! In the spring, we teamed up with Felixstowe in Flower to promote wildflowers and introduce our Bee Safe programme. Bees are in serious decline, with solitary bee populations dropping by 52% in the last 10 years in Suffolk, and we have lost 4 species of bumblebees in the same time. Inspired by a similar project in Amsterdam, which has seen a dramatic increase in bees since it began 5 years ago, we have made it our main local aim to promote bee welfare through habitat development and beehive production. We are looking forward to making big steps on this in 2020! We were very blessed to be a part of Everything Felixstowe’s Easter event,
Everything Easter, where we set up our pop-up beach for the first time and continued with our wildflower distribution. We love seeing the enthusiasm when the kids use the pop-up beach to learn about litter and recycling, amazing to see! The whole event was a huge success for the town, and we hope that community events like this will become a regular thing in Felixstowe! When we sought out advice from Sir David Attenborough on what he believed we could do, we were amazed by the response we got: “Thank you for your letter – and thank you for all you are doing to help in the fight to protect our planet from further damage. You ask for advice – but it seems you are already achieving a great deal – so the only advice I can give is to encourage you not to give up, but to continue in the admirable way you are doing. Would that others would labour as hard as you do in the interests of humanity and the planet we inhabit. Best wishes
‘‘
David Attenborough”
Thank you for all you are doing to help in the fight to protect our planet from further damage. Best wishes, David Attenborough
Admit it, you read that in his voice! With Sir David’s blessing, we have huge plans for 2020! Our next international project, as announced earlier this year, will be to bring our modified turtle hatchery to the Latin American Sea Turtle (LAST)
association in Costa Rica for its first field use. In March, we will be delving deep into the jungle, completely off the grid, to instruct staff and volunteers of the LAST association on how to put together our innovative design, protect from poachers and improve the chances of a successful hatch season for these vulnerable creatures. Closer to home, although on a global issue, with the increase in urban environments being one of the main causes of species decline, it is now more important than ever that we work to not only preserve the natural areas we have left but also develop more in order to turn the tide on climate change and species decline. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that in the spring we will be taking on a local piece of land to develop into the HappyGlobe CIC Conservation Meadow (illustrated on the next page), where we will be hosting more of our beehives for our Bee Safe programme, a variety of insect homes, wildflowers and more! Also, in the spring, we will be teaming up with Norse in Felixstowe for a wildflower seed sowing event in order to improve the number of bees in the area. This event will be held at the Grove, date to be announced very soon! We will be looking for volunteers for both of these projects; please send us a message on Facebook or on: volunteering@happyglobe.org to get involved! Despite the media and political propaganda of the same, the world is coming around to the realisation of environmental issues and the importance that this time has on the future of our local and global ecosystems if we do not act on it. It has been heartening to see that the people and organisations of Felixstowe are starting to show a better interest in the environment over the last year, and we at HappyGlobe CIC are looking forward to working with the local community to educate and lead on local conservation. We are also delighted to see the recent uplift in the amount of support for local businesses and community organisations, The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 35

It is now more important than ever that we work to not only preserve the natural areas we have left but also develop more in order to turn the tide on climate change and species decline.

Felixstowe Museum Taking a stroll over to Felixstowe Museum to get a sense of what this little Felixstowe gem is truly like
I’ve just visited Felixstowe Museum! As a family we were just intending a walk down by the river at Landguard Point to show the children the container ships and exercise the dog. To our surprise we found Felixstowe Museum next to the Viewpoint Car Park and what a find! YES, Felixstowe has got its own Museum and furthermore it’s in a really unique Victorian building from the 1870s, formerly used to deploy submarine mines. There was something there for everyone from the children avidly following the Owl Trail to my husband being fascinated by all the military history and models on display. My parents were also enthralled by the temporary exhibition showcasing the Swinging Sixties and Radio Caroline. I had no idea that Felixstowe had such a long and illustrious history as a Spa town in Victorian and Edwardian times. There is even a room dedicated to St Audry’s Hospital, the former County Asylum which was sited in Melton near Woodbridge. The children then had a very enjoyable time dressing up in various costumes, much to our amusement, before we all had a very welcome cuppa in the Tea Room and hit the Gift Shop for some retail therapy! The Museum is open for approximately sixty days a year from Easter to October
and the entrance fee is a bargain at £3 for adults and £1 for children. Full details are available on their website: www.felixstowemuseum.org The friendly volunteers gave us an amazing welcome and told us of upcoming special event days for families and children: for instance the ever-popular Easter Egg Hunt and Spooky Day. We were told that over the summer there is always a themed trail for children to follow as well as craft activities and my parents have said they will bring the children here during the summer holidays to take part. The volunteers told us that the Museum has won several awards including in 2018 the Best Small Visitor attraction in Norfolk and Suffolk. A great achievement considering the building is run solely by volunteers, several of which are long term residents of Felixstowe and have lots of interesting stories to share. Visitors come to the museum from far and wide so if you’ve never been, make sure to include a trip there this year! View Point Road, Felixstowe, IP11 3TW 01394 674355 www.felixstowemuseum.org

Colneis Flower Club
For the creative horticulturists among us
As many of you may know, we recently celebrated our 35th Anniversary with a demonstration by Lee Berrill, a well-known leading floral designer, florist and NAFAS demonstrator. One of the many questions we receive about flower arranging is ‘What do you do?’ The answer is that we meet once a month; meet people who like flowers; watch a demonstrator share their skills in flower arranging; enjoy a cup of tea or coffee; chat with the person sitting next to you and hope you win one of the arrangements in the raffle. To the comment ‘I am not a flower arranger – I just buy flowers and put them in a vase.’ You may be surprised to learn that is what most of our members do! However, sometimes we get inspired by something a demonstrator has created or said and we ‘have a go’. At home, there is no one to judge what you have done and if you are not happy with it, at least you have tried! For those who really want to be adventurous, we do have a competition but it is not obligatory to enter. Every now and then we also do a ‘hands on’ workshop for those who are interested in learning to do a particular type of arrangement. I do hope this will encourage those of you who buy a bunch of flowers or grow them in your garden to come and join us and find out for yourselves. For £4 you can come as a visitor and if you like what we do, at the moment, for the annual subscription of £35 you can become a member. We meet at 7.30pm on the third Thursday of the month (except for August and December) in the Old Felixstowe Community Centre, Ferry Road, IP11 9NB. I do hope you will ‘take the plunge’ and join us for an entertaining, fun evening. For more information please call on 01394 282468.

Felixstowe Community Choir Sing pop and show tunes with this lively and friendly community choir If you like singing pop and show tunes but would run a mile if you had to do an audition or read sheet music, the Felixstowe Community Choir is perfect for you. Led by local musician and actor Emily Bennett, the choir meets throughout the year, on a Monday evening, at the Orwell Hotel. 40
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
“Nearly eight years ago I had the idea of forming a non-profit making community choir for Felixstowe, but never dreamt that from the first 23 who came along, by now there would be over one hundred members and we would have donated over £27,000 to charity,” laughed Rachel Sloane, choir founder. “Initially I thought it would be a ‘non-performing’ choir, singing just for fun, but we found we wanted to share the songs and harmonies we’d learnt, so started having an annual Family and Friends concert, nicknamed ‘parents evening’!” From that the choir has been invited to perform in charity concerts and at Felixstowe events, and are regulars in Music in Felixstowe concerts.
“Singing with an orchestra at their Last Night of the Proms is our annual highlight, as is the Christmas concert, singing with Seckford Brass,” she continued. “To sing with about 80 other men and women makes you feel really good. It’s a friendly and informal choir and Emily makes us laugh as much as we sing. Midway through the evening we take a short break and some members get a drink at the bar, so it’s a real night out.” As it is often a problem tempting men to join a choir, Felixstowe Community choir is especially proud of how many men sing with them, with 15-20 regularly attending. The choir is very democratic with members voting on any decisions, including which charities to support each year.
“The money from our weekly raffle goes towards the charities too. They have been nominated by members, and many are small local charities. We have supported Walton Parish Nurses, the schoolroom at Ipswich Hospital, The John le Vay Cancer Information Centre, the Memory Lane Dementia Support Group, etc. There are no termly choir fees as members just pay £4 per night, no sheet music or special clothes to buy, so it is a very cheap night out!” Communicating with each other via a weekly text, Facebook and Twitter, the Felixstowe Community Choir is always happy to welcome new members – even those who think they can’t sing! www.felixstowecommunitychoir.org.uk The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 41
Felixstowe Community First Responders An insight to the incredible team of volunteers responding to local emergency medical calls Felixstowe Community First Responders are volunteers in the local area who respond to local emergency medical calls with the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust. We also operate as a charity from the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust Charitable Fund. Our role is to stabilise patients and provide appropriate care and treatment within our skillset and provide reassurance to the patients and those around them before the arrival of the ambulance. As those who are local to the area are very familiar with our surroundings, this allows us to find a patient easier. In addition, in calls where every second counts, such as in Cardiac Arrest where the patient is unconscious and not breathing, we can be there very quickly and get involved in the Chain of Survival:
Statistically, a person’s chance of survival drops by 10% for every minute that passes where early intervention and defibrillation is not carried out. As Community First Responders are local, we can get the ball 42
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
rolling with this much quicker and give the patient a better chance of survival. Studies have shown that if the first 3 links in the chain of survival are carried out (early access, CPR and defibrillation), a person’s chance of survival can be improved between 25-40%. When you call 999 and ask for an ambulance, a call handler will take the details about the situation. At the same time, a dispatcher contacts us as well as an ambulance crew with the details about the call. We will then use the ambulance kit provided, and our own cars under normal rules and road regulations to make it to the scene safely to provide treatment. There are Community First Responder groups across the country, and in the East of England there are more than 240 responder groups and over 800 responders. The Felixstowe team consists of 7 responders at the moment; with hopefully a few more joining us throughout 2020. We have a variety of backgrounds, including BT, Patient transport, Pier amusements, Port of Felixstowe and hospitals. You don’t need to have previous medical experience to join this role, although it certainly helps. There is a thorough training course at your induction and a portfolio to complete whilst being able to respond to gain experience before receiving an accredited qualification. In addition, there are also monthly training sessions to attend to keep up to date with the latest changes. The role is very flexible in terms of responding, and our team respond outside of work during our free time. We mainly go to life-threatening and potentially life-threatening emergencies, such as: • Cardiac / Respiratory arrest (resuscitation)
• Unconsciousness or fainting • Convulsions or fitting • Breathing problems • Chest pains • Diabetic emergencies • Stroke • Choking • Allergic Reactions There are currently 3 kits that are active in the Felixstowe area which are swapped between our volunteers when on duty. With these kits, we carry lifesaving equipment on top of what you’d expect to find in a standard first aid kit such as: • Defibrillator • Oxygen • Various oxygen masks • Airway tubes • Pulse Oximeter There is more to our role than just responding, too. We are always seeking opportunities to raise funds for our group, as we are not directly funded by the NHS and therefore raise money for equipment, uniform and running costs (such as keeping our mobile phones for the kits topped up). In addition, we also get involved in public awareness campaigns where we promote the work that we do and teach CPR to the public. Such events include: • Restart a Heart Day, where 255 students were taught in 2 different schools • ‘Learn to be a Life Saver’ campaign lead by BBC Radio Suffolk and East Anglian Daily Times, where we helped teach 100 people CPR • Suffolk Show, where loads of people of all ages were taught CPR • Visiting local schools and nurseries to teach them a bit about the Ambulance Service, show them what equipment we use and explain when to call 999. In 2019, we also covered a combined total of 2195 hours and were dispatched to 353 calls. We also got involved with other staff The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 43
and volunteers, with the introduction of the GoodSAM app. This allows those who are suitably trained to be notified and dispatched to a suspected cardiac arrest
nearby and without kit. We can operate as bystanders who can provide the early CPR or defibrillator en route, which increases that person’s chance of survival.
2020 is off to a promising start for our group, with a few new recruits in the pipeline, being the chosen charity of the month for Felixstowe Radio where we are carrying out a few radio interviews to increase public awareness and drive more recruitment. Our next interview with Felixstowe Radio is on Wednesday 29th January between 10:00 and 11:00.
We will also be looking to get involved with the Felixstowe Carnival and the Suffolk Show if the opportunity arises again. As usual, we are open to providing demonstrations and public awareness opportunities.
In addition, we will be involved in a trial by the Ambulance Service whereby our team will be trained to handle non-injury falls. With this comes a new skill set and equipment for additional monitoring of our patient’s vital signs and will carry a special chair to help get them on their feet safely. This brings a huge benefit to the community in that we can attend these types of calls much more quickly. 44
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
As always, we are looking for recruits and will be contacting those that have also shown an interest. In addition, we are always open to opportunities to help raise money to keep us going. You can follow us on our Facebook page to keep an eye on what we are up to: www.facebook.com/FelixstoweFirstResponders If you are looking for more information on recruitment, follow the link below: https://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/join-theteam/community-first-responders
Tips by our Community First Responders: • Download What3Words on to your phone! If you are in a place where you don’t know the address, or out in the country side, the app uses the GPS on your smartphone and will break down the world with 3 metre x 3 metre squares and assign a unique 3 word combination for each square. Quoting these 3 words to our call handler will allow us to find your exact location!
• Make sure your house number or house name is clearly visible from the road! It makes finding your house much easier. During hours of darkness, you could also put the light on at the front or have the hazard lights flashing on your car in front of the house or on the drive. If possible, have someone waiting to flag us down as we approach. All this helps us locate the patient, especially in time- critical situations.
• Be prepared to look for vehicles that may NOT be an ambulance – Our Community First Responders use our own vehicles and are not fitted with blue flashing lights. Some of us may use magnetic signs or a sign in the visor to mark our car. • Don’t be scared to get stuck in! In a situation where a patient is unconscious and not breathing, the worst thing you can do is nothing. Getting involved in pushing on the chest will help their chance of survival – good technique is best, but poor technique is better than nothing. • Don’t be afraid to use the public defibrillators! If you are asked to collect one from a cabinet in various public places, the defibrillator will talk you through what to do step by step. The defibrillator will also look for specific heart rhythms that it can shock and will not let you deliver that shock to them if they don’t need it. Some of these will also deliver the shock automatically (but not without giving you plenty of warning first!). • Finally, Make the right choice with your health. There are several avenues for various medical ailments, and sometimes an ambulance isn’t always needed. Below is a handy guide:

Pet Problem Corner Keeping your pets safe and sound Cold weather How do I keep my rabbits and guinea pigs warm and dry in the winter? Most small animals adapt well as the temperature changes and are perfectly happy outside in the colder months. The first thing to check is that any hutch is still sound, off the ground (4 inches), waterproof and sheltered from wind. Many people move their pets into sheds or garages but do ensure the new location is pet friendly and free from fumes from engines or chemicals. You can add cardboard nesting boxes filled with warm hay and other bedding to keep pets cosy. Hutch covers, and heat pads can also add to their comfort or use old sleeping bags, blankets or carpet plus waterproof tarpaulin on top and around the cage to keep things snug and warm. Do remove these from the front during the day and allow some air to circulate at all times. In very cold weather water bottles can freeze and it is a good idea to have a bowl of water as well as a bottle as you will need to compensate for the reduced moisture intake now that they are not out on the grass as much. Moisture in toilet areas can also freeze so should be cleaned daily. With less access to grass, ensure eating hay is available at all times and give a handful of fresh leafy greens such as carrot tops and broccoli and good quality nuggets every day.

The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
Did you know a guinea pig should be eating their own body size in hay every day? If your pet has lost a companion during the year and is now on their own or is getting on in years you could also consider bringing them indoors but make sure you do this before it gets too cold as they would not react well to a sudden change in temperature. Winter can be a lonely time for outside pets so do make sure you still make an effort to interact with them on a daily basis and check that they are well. Hot weather How to spot signs of heat stroke in the A dog’s normal temperature is between 37.8° and 39.4°c, while a normal temperature in cats ranges from 100.4º to 102.5ºF. Anything higher than that means your pet’s in danger. Dogs and cats don’t sweat like we do. They drink water and pant to bring down their body temperature. Watch for these possible symptoms of overheating: Heavy panting Dry or bright red gums Thick drool Vomiting Diarrhoea Wobbly legs If your pet shows signs of heat exhaustion, move them to a cool place, give them a drink of water, put a damp towel over their body, and get them to the vet asap. Don’t place your pet in cold water, that can put them into shock. Here’s to happy pets all year round!
RNLI FELIXSTOWE BRANCH
Saving Lives at Sea What we can do to support this very needed organisation Local or national organisations know money is the crucial ingredient for funding any cause. The RNLI is no different and, in the UK, relies totally on public donations to fund essential services around our coasts. What about Felixstowe and District? As you are probably aware there is not a lifeboat stationed at Felixstowe but our beaches and coastline, plus two major rivers (Orwell and Deben) are the responsibility of Harwich or Aldeburgh Lifeboat stations. Both have big offshore lifeboats and smaller inshore RIBs. Therefore many towns have other ways of supporting the RNLI with fundraising branches such as ours in Felixstowe. We are an official group of fundraisers supported by RNLI HQ in Poole. Our members have many years of fundraising between them and raise money for the continuation of rescues. This could be for training of the lifeboat crews, providing equipment or boats so that those in need of help at sea can call on the RNLI any time, anywhere, any weather. Fundraising takes many forms and usually involves members of the public, from the matron of a local care home sitting in a tin bath wearing RNLI waterproofs whilst being covered in baked beans, to using small jam pots for filling with 5p coins! At the start of each year we have no idea where donations will come from.
Only one ‘must do’- the annual RNLI street collection in Felixstowe. One day in the year Hamilton Road is quite busy with a line of branch members, plus additional friends and family, collecting as much money as possible from the good folk shopping in and around Hamilton Road – be aware of person in yellow tabard holding a large bucket! The public response is amazing and, despite recession, our Flag Day total remains at record breaking levels each year. That generosity extends to local stores enabling us to collect on their premises, and pubs and other businesses selling RNLI Christmas cards. Last summer we did a store collection for three days. RNLI HQ decided to bring 21st Century technology into fundraising – contactless donations! Our branch participated in national trials and had great fun trying machines we had not seen before. The biggest problem nobody had thought of - check the WiFi signal first! A thank you from us to those who patiently waited while we attempted to encourage the use of cards rather than cash! Felixstowe Branch details are on the RNLI website. New members always welcome. Good wishes for 2020 from us to you. Thank you. The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 47
IN THE
Garden Felixstowe’s gardening twins share their expert knowledge and experience
Mahonia, named after the American horticulturist Bernard McMahon, is a popular evergreen winter flowering shrub. The Asiatic group, notably Mahonia japonica, Bealei, Lomariifolia and media varieties Charity and Winter Sun valued for their glossy foliage and heavenly scented yellow flowers. Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon grape) is sparsely branched with neat clusters of yellow flowers and has green/bronze foliage. Mahonia Soft Caress, plant of the year at Chelsea in 2013, has yellow flowers and elongated smooth leaves, as opposed to its prickly leafed relatives. Mahonias do well in semi-shade in a mixed border or in a shrubbery. Prune after flowering and reduce the height in order to enjoy the lily of the valley scented flowers next year and remove any lifeless branches. Other winter favourites Sarcococca (winter box) has highly scented creamy/ white flowers with shiny dark green foliage and Viburnham bodnantense Dawn has rosy pale pink/white flowers and is most fragrant. Two late winter flowering scented shrubs are Daphne Mezereum with rose/ deep pink flowers and Hamamelis (witch hazel) with its distinct yellow/orange/ copper blooms, both on bare stems. 48
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
Lonicera fragrantissima, the winter flowering honeysuckle, is a worthy addition to the garden as is Lonicera purpusii, another excellent variety being a cross between fragrantissima and standishii. The yellow flowering winter jasmine and the evergreen Clematis cirrhosa Freckles with its creamy white flowers speckled with maroon red spots brighten up any dull day. All these scented plants give bees a feast of nectar during the winter. Osmunda Goshiki, an alternative to holly, looks good with Azaleas in the photograph. Pittosporums come in a wide range of leaf colours and these evergreen shrubs along with box and yew give structure to the garden. All three can be topiarised or annually trimmed to keep them neat and tidy. Conifers are particularly prone to branch distortion after heavy snowfall so take a broom or long handled item to shake the snow from affected shrubs and small trees. Make sure tender plants are protected from cold weather and ensure containers are not waterlogged as plant roots will rot. Hellebores (Christmas roses) with their
pretty bowed flowerheads of creamy white to pink/purple, contrast well with snowdrops and alpine cyclamen with their attractive flowers and foliage. As the days lengthen daffodils, crocus and scilla appear, soon followed by tulips. Perennials will emerge from dormancy and Cornus stems should be cut right back so new bright shoots can grow. The flowers of Camellias, Cercis siliquastrum (Judas tree), Forsythia, Lilac, Magnolia and Mimosa herald spring along with catkins, pussy willow and fruit blossom. Herbacious plants peeping through the soil can be divided and containers can be prepared for this season’s summer annuals. Lawns are mown and weeds are kept under control. Vegetables are sown in anticipation of a bumper crop. Clematis, irises, lilies and perennials, like Achillea, Lupin and Paeony are in flower.Centre stage in summer are the blue or white flowers of the Agapanthus. Herbs are plentiful, bees on the lavender, bumble bees seeking foxgloves, ladybirds on the fennel and butterflies enjoying the buddleia. Sweet peas are picked to encourage more blooms and hollyhocks reach for the skies. Rhubarb has been harvested. Cherry
tomatoes are eaten. Hedges are cut and shrubs that have flowered have been pruned. Crocosmia, Rudbeckia, Roses and Dahlias are in full swing until the first frosts. Apples, pears and plums are picked. Autumn is about foliage and berries. The exuberant colours of acer palmatum and callicarpa with its purple berries are a spectacle. Laden branches of cotoneaster, holly and pyracantha give birds a great choice. Hydrangea flowerheads will protect the stems from frost. Bulbs planted, leaves raked for compost and water butts are full. Written by Heather Pratt

Felixstowe
& Offshore Radio A local exhibition of offshore radio history Following a display by Felixstowe & Offshore Radio in 2014, as part of the Heritage Open Days weekend, Felixstowe Museum used some of this material for a display in their tearoom, between 2015 and 2018. In 2019, the Museum created a 1960’s themed room in their Felgate Room, and invited Felixstowe & Offshore Radio to contribute, which we were delighted to do. The centre pieces of our display were two model ships, made by Felixstowe residents. The first, of the mv Mi Amigo, used by Radio Caroline between 1964 & 1980, was made in the 1960’s by the then 15-year-old Mel Spall. The second model was made recently by Robert Brinkley, and was of the mv Ross Revenge, used by Radio Caroline since 1983 to the present day, and now moored in the River Blackwater in Essex. The display also includes a lifebelt which has previously been on board the Ross Revenge, before being donated to us by Radio Caroline. In addition, there were a collection of photos, invoices and other memorabilia relating to the mv Caroline, the UK’s first offshore radio station, whilst she was moored off Felixstowe between March 27th & July 2nd 1964. There was more material relating to period between June 1966 and August 1967, when the supply of the offshore stations such as Radio Caroline South, Radio London & Radio England was carried out from Felixstowe Dock basin, by Harcourt Shipping. Also on display was material about Sealand/Roughs Towers and a selection of radios and other technology from the 1960’s, while in the Museum shop, was a small amount of Radio Caroline merchandise, together with ‘Holding the Fort’, a book all about the history of Sealand. Felixstowe & Offshore Radio have been invited by the Museum to continue with an updated display during 2020, so there will be some new material to look at, which we hope you will enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/felixstoweandoffshoreradio http://felixstowemuseum.org/ Photo credit: Courtesy of Brian Nicols. 52

Prince’s Trust Team Programme Partnering up with Inspire Suffolk, here’s one of Suffolk’s most successful youth programmes About Inspire Suffolk Inspire Suffolk is a charity dedicated to supporting young people onto a positive future. Each day, we work at the forefront of helping young people to overcome challenges onto positive next steps in their lives back into employment and further training. We offer life changing personal development programmes, motivational education courses and engaging sport activities that local young people need and may not have access to. What is Team Programme? Inspire Suffolk, in partnership with the Prince’s Trust, provide one of Suffolk’s most successful programmes, ‘Team Programme’, providing young people with the skills they need to shape their own futures. Team Programme is a free 12-week self-development course that runs in various locations across Suffolk, including Felixstowe. The programme is designed for young people aged 16-25 who are currently unemployed, out of education and not in training. Many of the participants that join the Team Programme have
54
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
experienced disadvantage, social instability or have lost their way and need that extra support in their next steps. On completing the course, the young people will receive either a level 1 or level 2 Prince’s Trust certificate in Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills. The 12-week programme helps the participants to increase motivation, selfesteem and confidence. This is possible through the range of activities and projects the young people complete where they learn teamwork and other important skills to help them succeed and make steps towards a positive future. Team Programme incorporates a residential trip, community project and valuable work experience, equipping the young people with transferrable skills that
can be used in employment, at home and beyond. Who have we helped? We have many incredible successful outcomes from Team Programme and are very proud of the difference we’ve made to the lives of young people in Suffolk. One example is a Team Programme Graduate from 2019 who overcame challenges and has continued to make positive steps in towards a bright future. When he was younger, he spent time in care and had little family around him. After leaving care he became very introverted, he was quiet, shy and his mental health had started to suffer. Due to this he found it hard to commit to courses and programmes because he felt they were daunting and not worth his
time. Team Programme changed this. With support from tutors and peers he gained confidence and took on challenges he would never had attempted before. “I feel my greatest achievement was completing the programme. There were lots of ups and downs and wanting to give up on numerous occasions but pushing past these thoughts and finishing was an amazing feeling.� Since completing the programme, he has volunteered with Audi thanks to his 2 weeks work experience with them whilst on the programme. He has also completed an R.Y.L.A course helping him to further his confidence by improving his speaking and punctuality skills. And finally, he has now managed to land himself an apprenticeship with the Suffolk Council.

142 Hamilton Road Early in 2019 three local artists, Lisa Berry, Toby Mayhew and Drew Whitemore took on the challenge of bringing their shared creative energies to the high street in Felixstowe. Here’s their story. With the blessings of the landlord and with no budget to spend, the three set about utilising the empty space at 142 Hamilton Road to provide artists with a place where they could come to show their work to the public and also, importantly, where they could show their processes by working in the shop window and encouraging the public to come in, take part, and get involved in the varying processes of art making. The pop-up nature of the venture has allowed imagination to take centre stage. A year later and with the excellent addition of new team member Victoria Petchy, 142 Hamilton Road Gallery has become a firm and popular destination for artists, creative folk and art buyers alike. Now with the go-ahead to continue into the future, 142 will be concentrating on honing some of the good elements that they have introduced over the year. Lisa says: ‘One of the best and liveliest things so far has been the themed competition week, where we invite artists to submit work on a theme. The first one was Blue and we had over 60 artists submit 100 pieces of work. Coming soon will be Black and White. We look forward to hanging another exciting and varied exhibition on this theme and invite you 62
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
to come and see and buy!’ (13th - 26th Feb. Daily from 10am - 4pm.) Portraits Week has also become a popular event, hosted by Toby Mayhew. Artists and sitters are invited and encouraged to come in off the street to ‘paint and be painted’ in hour-long sessions. (Think Montmartre.) Another exciting angle is the wall art project where an artist is chosen to think big and make a large piece of work to be displayed outside on the wall for several weeks. These pieces have been warmly welcomed by the public and local businesses alike, adding colour and conversation to the high street. This year looks an exciting one for the trio, who have managed to create a
good network of arts professionals, makers and influencers and are now looking to expand their vision of what they can achieve. Lisa says: ‘We believe that we are the most dynamic, energetic and exciting gallery in the area, and want the people of Felixstowe and visitors to experience something out of the ordinary, unexpected or beautiful and to put the town firmly on the map as an art destination.’
Drew says: ‘Southwold and Aldeburgh have long been established as destinations for people to buy artwork in East Suffolk. Until now, people generally have not expected Felixstowe to have the most exciting gallery around. Here at 142 we offer an open window into the artists’ lives and work in the making; an interface between artists and buyers. We are more than just
The gallery is a place for adventurous art lovers, those who don’t want their art handed to them on a plate, a place where people can come to experience creative process, and where artists are encouraged to push their limits and to take creative risks. Importantly, potential buyers can connect with the artists directly and see art in the making. Expect the unexpected!
a white space gallery, we believe people need art in their lives and that is why we are doing what we are doing!’ If you would like to know more, visit us: www.facebook.com/HamiltonRdArts/ and www.instagram.com/142_hamilton_road Website coming soon!

LOCAL BOXER
Jordon Warne Felixstowe boxer turns professional Local lad Jordan Warne, 27 has been been signed by Goodwin promotions as a professional boxer. He lives in Felixstowe but trains out of Suffolk punch boxing gym, home to other professionals Fabio Wardley and Ryan Copland. He was trained by Rob Hodgins and Zac Askew. Jordan was sports mad from a very young age. He loved football and boxing but decided to take boxing serious at the age of 13 and joined the 64
The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020
Ipswich amateur boxing club. This was the closest club to Felixstowe at the time, so he travelled via train to the club two to three times a week. It takes a lot of physical and mental discipline to succeed in the thrilling sport and Jordan believes this is what steered him away from trouble when he was younger.
‘‘
It takes a lot of physical and mental discpline to succeed
As an amateur boxer Jordan reached the semi finals of the national boxing competition only to lose to the winner. He fought with many talented fighters in the amateurs who are now in the pro ranks and looks forward to hopefully meeting with them again in the future. “Im over the moon to be doing something I’ve always wanted to do, there were times I didn’t think it was going to happen as I’ve gotten older, life happens, I have commitments and other things going on that stopped me from boxing, etc. But the opportunity came up and I couldn’t refuse it. I decided I was going to give it my all and see where it goes. ” Jordan has been granted his licence by the British boxing board of control and is looking to make his pro debut in March at the famous York Hall, Bethnal Green.
“As far as I’m aware I am the first professional boxer to come from Felixstowe and it would be great to have the town get behind me. You will probably see me over the coming months running around the town making sure I make the right weight category. The next few months leading up to my fight are going to be tough - I am training 2/3 times a day and am on a strict diet.” Promoter Steve Goodwin was delighted with signing Jordan adding “I have no doubt we can guide Jordan to titles. He is a popular lad and looking to have a good following and Felixstowe can look forward to some big nights of boxing.” Jordan is still looking for sponsorship and would love to be sponsored by a local company. If you are interested please contact Jordan on email: jordanwarne92@gmail.com. The Felixstowe Magazine - 2020 65

STACKS OF LOCAL OFFERS SO YOU CAN
Support Local Businesses
Is there more to these vouchers than just getting a good deal? With a larger than usual number of local shops closing their doors, it’s a very real threat that independent businesses cannot survive in this economic climate. So how can we help them? We all know that shopping local is the way to keep these businesses afloat, but what if you’re nervous to try a particular shop, or what if they’re a little pricier than you’d hope for, or what if you’ve never used a service/product like theirs before?
This is precisely why we started the voucher scheme - to raise awareness about businesses you might not have heard of, to encourage you to use them, and to give you an incentivising discount so you get something back too. Our voucher campaign was born out of the need to support local businesses. With them, you can literally save hundreds of pounds. And if you like the idea but don’t see businesses that you’d usually use, then get in touch and we’ll approach that business so they join the campaign too! For now, have a gander through the lovely vouchers on offer and use them as much as you can! #lovelocal #lovefelixstowe #felixstowevouchers

The calendar spaces leap years to make the average year 365.2425 days long, approximating the 365.2422-day tropical year that is determined by the Earth’s revolution around the Sun.) An Indian man holds the record for the longest growing moustache. According to Guinness World Records, Ram Singh Chauhan has a moustache that spans 14 feet long. He has been growing it since 1982, after a friend with a 7-foot-long moustache suggested it. Movember was established in November 2003 by a few friends over a beer in a pub just outside Melbourne, Australia. During Movember, men grow a moustache for the month, getting friends and family and colleagues to donate to their efforts for charity. 2020 will mark the 50th anniversary for the Glastonbury Music Festival. To count from 1 to 2020 would take you about 33 minutes. (This is a very rough estimate based on a speaking rate of half a second every third order of magnitude). Babies born in 2020, according to the Chinese Zodiac, are born in the Year of the Rat. People born in this year are said to be very clever, charming and curious. It’s been one century since women got the vote in 1920.
