Letter to the Editor “I discovered your magazine online - I am keen to keep up with what’s happening in Felixstowe and the community in general. I thought it was absolutely brilliant reading and it makes me feel I have a good connection with the area and people. I have subscribed to ensure I get it regularly. I read with interest about your new litter initiative, which inspired me greatly. I have volunteered myself for litter picking in Ipswich, but hope to relocate to lovely Felixstowe before long and I shall certainly put myself forward to help. I have been greatly concerned about the volume of rubbish that is reportedly on the Port site. I have had people who work there tell me it is really bad, but nobody does anything about it. This horrifies me, as the Port is supposedly a supporter of the local community/environment/wildlife.

All the rubbish there will help pollute the beautiful surrounding countryside as well as going into the water and adding to sea pollution, which is horrific. Having litter groups is fantastic, but shouldn’t there be pressure on such a large presence as the Port to insist there is a zero tolerance on their site regarding litter? I have had no response to my email as an individual, I think it needs a publication or person of position to get a response and for them to implement rules for their employees. Surely they have a responsibility as a large company in the area. They are just going to continually have their rubbish littering the sites that volunteers have worked hard to clear.”

Felixstowe Town and Around A word from the local council by councillor, Doreen Savage Much seems to have been happening on the Felixstowe scene of late – not least the disastrous news of the closure of Marks and Spencer. This news has shocked us all – as M&S has been a part of the Hamilton Road shopping experience for so many years! That shopping habits have changed cannot be denied and online shopping is quoted as being one of the reasons behind the proposal. Personally, I am not an online shopper, preferring to see what I am buying and most of my shopping is done locally.

However, I must admit that in the recent past my shopping in M&S has not been as frequent as it would once have been.

Tribute must be paid to the many residents who have braved the weather with petitions and protest meetings outside the store. I have signed three petitions and attended one of the meetings along with many other concerned residents.

The Mayor, our MP and two Councillors travelled to London to make a presentation to the Head of Public Affairs at M&S on the importance of the store to the town and its popularity not just with residents, but with visitors too. They also handed over a petition with just under 7000 signatures.

One really good bit of news to come my way has been that regarding the trading figures for the Felixstowe/Harwich/Shotley foot Ferry for last year. Passenger numbers for 2018 totalled 40454 –substantially up on the 2017 figure of 36656. This is all down to the hard work and additional crossings that the owner and his staff have put into making the service available and enjoyable. Fingers crossed that the funding 6

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

that the Ferry receives from local authorities in Suffolk and Essex will continue into this coming season.

Landguard Fort volunteers are working hard during the closed season re-arranging displays and making new ones, along with a new guide showing all the attractions in the area for the coming season – including the brilliant museum – which won an award last year.

Whilst in the area of Landguard I must recommend the blog that the Landguard Ranger posts on the Landguard website.

If you haven’t seen or read it – do have a look. It is a fascinating insight into what goes on in that part of Felixstowe and is so important.

The news that the County Council were slashing the funding to Citizens Advice offices in Suffolk came as another terrible blow for those of us involved with CA. Knowing the advice and practical help that is given by the volunteers to anyone who is in difficulty of any kind, I was appalled at this news. Quite rightly, there was a public outcry and petitions and representations were made to the County Council by many people – not least those associated with CA. I have attended numerous meetings both in Felixstowe and Stowmarket discussing ways of meeting the needs of - in the case of the Felixstowe office over 2000 people who sought help last year and between them raising over 6000 differing problems – in the future.

The County Council has, under pressure, reinstated 50% funding for the coming year 2019/20 – but with the decision of no funding for the following year. Citizens Advice has been around since the 1940’s and lots of people think it is government funded – which is incorrect – each office is a local charity and has to raise its own funding – most of which is by way of grants from the County, District and Town Councils

in the locality. Donations and grants from other organisations help to keep the office open along with fund raising which the volunteers and trustees do as well.

Felixstowe office runs a very tight ship and we have very little “slack” in our funding so you can imagine the concern everyone is feeling at this moment in time. Efforts will continue to persuade the County to change its mind – but who knows!

I was lucky enough to be one of five invited representatives from Felixstowe Town Council to be part of the audience at Fred Olsen House in Ipswich for the naming and dedication of a new RNLI lifeboat purchased by Fred Olsen with money collected on their various cruises and contributed by the generous “cruisers”. The boat was magnificent, costing £170,000 and was the 5th boat to be provided to the RNLI by Fred Olsen.

The new boat will be stationed at Poole in Dorset. A lovely occasion and so important when you think of the wonderful work done by the RNLI in helping people in distressing situations at sea.

collect and return seamen to the centre in the hours they have onshore. A lot of the seamen visit the town and come back laden with goods they have purchased from our local shops. Felixstowe Port users held a ball in December and the proceeds of the raffle held at that event were for the Seafarers Centre. Like so many organisations, the centre relies on the goodwill of volunteers to keep it running and provide the services offered and monetary contributions are always welcome. I volunteer at the centre looking after the garden there – although in truth I haven’t been doing a lot there lately as it really isn’t gardening weather – but in a few weeks time I shall be cutting back, planting and generally making the area look beautiful.

Well, to keep Spring in mind in this article my mention of the garden has done just that!

Wishing all readers well in the coming months.

Doreen Savage

The Felixstowe Seafarers Centre continues to provide a warm welcome to any seamen visiting the Port. The centre has a strong band of volunteer drivers who man the minibus which is on standby to SPRING 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 7

Radio Caroline, how it all began...

We’ve heard all about her, but where did her story start?

Radio is over one hundred years old, but as Radio Caroline proved, it’s never been an easy ride for independent radio personalities or musicians to be heard

.

By the early twenties, technology progressed from simple Morse code to being able to transmit internationally, with a signal accessible to all radio sets. Knowing this was a powerful means of mass communication, the UK government formed the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in 1927. The BBC charged a licence fee to every home possessing a radio and provided programmes of news, speeches, lectures, educational matter, weather reports, concerts and theatrical entertainment. This format was governmentcontrolled, not a matter of audience research. The UK population had to pay but had no say over what they got for their money.

By 1930 there were five million radio sets in Britain, all unavoidably tuned to the BBC. 12

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

But there was demand for light-hearted styles of programming. To exploit this, a private company, the International Broadcasting Company (IBC) was set up. It hired air time from overseas stations and transmitted popular programmes aimed at the UK market. While these programmes were perfectly legal, and while no doubt BBC transmissions were covering the continent just as readily as the continental stations were reaching the UK, the attitude of the BBC and the government was implacably hostile. The government persuaded royalty organisations to overcharge them for permission to play recorded material and the BBC were encouraged not to employ any artist or presenter who had worked on a continental station.

In the absence of any other reason to explain this hostility it seems that the government were anxious to suppress any means of mass communication over which they had no control.

But overseas stations flourished. By 1938, Radio Luxembourg had 45 per cent of the Sunday listening audience against the BBC’s 35 per cent and advertisers were spending 1.7 million pounds sterling per annum.

In the fifties American rock and roll, blues and rhythm and blues were copied and

modified by young British artists, but the only way to hear this music was to tune to Radio Luxembourg, the only cross border broadcaster to the UK that had been able to restart operations after the war. The station was so popular that air time was block booked in fifteen minute or half hour slots and taken up entirely by the major record labels of the day; Decca, Capitol, E.M.I., Parlophone etc.

By the early sixties a fairly comfortable balance was set: the BBC had their state monopoly and Luxembourg had their commercial monopoly. But with more and more talented British groups and artists developing their own song writing skills, how could this music be played for the public?

Ronan O’Rahilly, the tearaway son of a well-known and wealthy Irish family came to London. O’Rahilly possessed a number of pertinent qualities; a background of generally getting what he wanted, a quick and lateral thinking brain, a maturity and presence which belied his tender years and an Irish naivety which gave him no knowledge or regard for the accepted way of going about things. Though he managed new young artists, nobody would record them, and nobody would give him air time.

Clearly this could not be tolerated.

Wrestling with the BBC and Luxembourg and indeed all European Radio, O’Rahilly finally went to London to seek his fortune.

He settled into Soho and London’s club land and operating his own Rhythm & Blues Club. He bought the Rolling Stones their first set of stage equipment and briefly managed them together with his friend, Georgiou Gomalski, before entrepreneur Andrew Oldham snapped them up. But he still had the blues singer Alexis Korner and northerner Georgie Fame as his protégés.

He was influential in the early days of Eric Burdon and the Animals, even suggesting the name for the band. Live gigs at small venues were a slow way to achieve popularity, but nobody would record his artists. O’Rahilly created his own record label and paid for his own acetates. When presenting these to the BBC he learned that the Corporation only played music by established artists which begged the obvious question ‘how to get established.’

At Radio Luxembourg he fared worse, station bosses laughed heartily showing him the programme schedules block booked by the major labels. Independents had no chance of air play at all. The answer? Give up his artists and hope they could be signed by a major label.

‘Well,’ O’Rahilly told the Luxembourg directors, ‘If after managing my own artists I have to create my own record label because nobody will record them and if I then find that no radio station will play their music, it seems that the only thing now is to have my own radio station.’ Radio Luxembourg thought this hugely funny and showed him the door.

‘‘

...it seems that the only thing now is to have my own radio station!

But the tides turned on the monopoly of radio, and O’Rahilly changed the history of radio forever.

Soon after, at a party, a girl told Ronan about the station Voice of America which was operating at sea from the official USA vessel the MV Courier. He gleaned information about this operation from the US Embassy and also travelled to visit Jack Kotschack, the owner of the marine station, Radio Nord and the owners of Radio Veronica, an efficiently run Dutch offshore radio station. Radio law in the Netherlands was as restrictive as in the UK. In Holland as in Britain the law of the land only extended as far as territorial waters, three miles out from the coast. Beyond that lay international waters where there was no law other than that defined by the flag states of ships. A ship registered to Panama for example, whilst in international waters recognised Panamanian law.

SPRING 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 13

If the law of the flag state had no objection to international marine broadcasting, then the ship could make broadcasts which were not illegal and could not be stopped. With the young population created by the post war baby boom in the UK, and with burgeoning youth culture and a new pop industry that had untapped potential - this was the breakthrough O’Rahilly needed and he had certain advantages to build from.

He was now mixing in the clubs and coffee bars of Soho and Chelsea with the young sons of very wealthy people. With his upbringing, large sums of money did not faze him. His family wholly owned the Irish port of Greenore, an ideal place to quietly convert a ship into a floating radio station, and thus a new life of radio began.

On a fund raising trip to the USA, O’Rahilly was captivated by a photograph in Life magazine showing president John F. Kennedy’s daughter Caroline playing in the Oval Office of the White House and disrupting the serious business of government. This was exactly the image he wanted for his station. The name had to be Radio Caroline.

With finance in place, the ex-ferry Fredericia was purchased and taken to Greenore for conversion.

Radio studios had been built on the upper decks behind the ships bridge. In the hold were A.C. generators connected to two 10KW medium wave (AM) broadcast transmitters. The combined power from these was fed to a tall aerial tower near the bow of the ship.

On 28th March 1964, with their words having been pre-recorded since they were too nervous to broadcast live, Chris Moore and the then unknown actor Simon Dee announced, “This is Radio Caroline on 199, your all-day music station.”

Then a Rolling Stones record, ‘Not Fade Away’ was played and dedicated to Ronan O’Rahilly. Caroline was on the air.

The monopolies of the BBC and Luxembourg were shattered, and UK radio was changed forever with UK offshore radio all starting in Felixstowe!

What a story!

Bringing Radio Caroline to life in Felixstowe, we caught up with the founder of the Felixstowe & Offshore Radio group, Brian Nichols and his colleague, Charles Wright.

How did Felixstowe & Offshore Radio start?

(Brian) I started to listen to Radio Caroline in the 1970s. The type of music they played (album music as opposed to hit singles) was so different to what you’d hear on most other stations. Also, the romance of it being broadcast on a ship rather than on land - it was exciting! The fact they had to broadcast on a ship or they’d be shut down… that all added to the overall ‘outside-of-the-law’ pirate radio and bending the rules.

Towards the end of 2013, I approached the late Phil Hadwen. Phil was a senior member of the Felixstowe Society and a pillar of the community. I offered to write an article for the Felixstowe Society Newsletter, marking the 50th anniversary of the start of Radio Caroline, moored off Felixstowe. Phil accepted the offer and asked if I could put something together for the Heritage Open Days in September 2014. I was doubtful, but after a few pieces in local magazines like The Felixstowe Magazine, people started to get in touch with never seen before photos and other material.

I was too young to know the stories of the radio in the 60s, but Charles being a few years my senior knew it well. Our shared memories helped to inspire the start of the Felixstowe & Offshore Radio group together.

Taken by: Dilys Calver, MV Caroline, 1964

What were your memories, Charles?

In March 1964 I was aged 12 going on 13. I had an elder brother, Andy, who was 5 years older than me and who led the way with all the latest trends. He had introduced the family to Radio Veronica, the Dutch offshore radio station that started in 1960; it was easily received in Felixstowe.

We didn’t really know about Radio Caroline starting off Felixstowe until it actually happened, and we read about it in the daily paper. My very first memory of seeing the ship was standing at the bottom of Bent Hill with my brother and two cousins who were visiting Felixstowe. One cousin held a small portable transistor radio aloft and we could both see and hear Caroline!

We would listen to Radio Caroline at breakfast time whilst getting ready for school, listening on an old valve radio in the kitchen. Simon Dee was the host and he often played listeners record requests. Being a slightly naughty boy at the Felixstowe Grammar School, I decided

it would be a good idea to send in a request and ask for The Swinging Blue Jeans record, ‘You’re no good’ and dedicate it to all the prefects at the school! I can’t recall if Simon Dee actually read out those words, but I do remember him complaining about my fairly illegible schoolboy scrawl.

It was a shame that the original Caroline ship, the Fredericia, moved away to the Isle of Man after the merger with Radio Atlanta and then creation of Radios Caroline North and South. The South ship (the Mi Amigo) was now off Frinton, but we visited a few times to see it and the other ‘pirate’ stations, anchored a few miles off shore. On a couple of occasions, we took boat trips from Clacton to view the ships and the DJ’s fairly close up. By that time, it was 1967, I was 16 and the ‘summer of love’ was in full swing! My brother Andy, a keen home movie maker, made a few films of our visits which can now be seen on our Felixstowe & Offshore Radio Facebook page.

SPRING 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 15

Andy went on to work for the BBC and was heavily involved with BBC local radio that started in the early 1970’s, after the pirates had effectively been outlawed. I’m sure his love of Radio Caroline and the other offshore stations influenced his career path with the BBC until his untimely death in 1997.

When I read Brian’s articles I got in touch with cine-film shot by my brother, and with my technical and music background (Blast Off Disco), we started working towards putting something together for the Heritage Open Days.

We also set up the Felixstowe & Offshore Radio Facebook page, as the material we were receiving we felt would be of interest to offshore radio fans generally, as well as to people interested in this aspect of local history. Some of the material was given to us, but most was loaned, so that we could scan or photocopy it, rather than risk losing original items.

Taken by Karen Frost. From left to right: Emperor Rosko, Roger Day and Dilys Calver

Having acquired a reasonable amount, we confirmed to Phil that we would take part, but where? Thanks to the then Mayor, Graham Newman, we approached Fish Dish restaurant, who very kindly allowed us to use a basement room, at no charge! And that was our very first Felixstowe & Offshore Radio exhibition to honour Radio Caroline.

Who else did you invite to the 2014 event?

(Brian) We approached Radio Caroline, and they agreed to help promote our event, and to send their merchandise team along.

Sadly, with the passage of time, there are very few people still alive who worked on board the MV Caroline while she was anchored off Felixstowe, but one person who is, Alan ‘Neddy’ Turner, agreed to join us for the weekend, which we were thrilled about.

We did fear that people would come and say ‘Is that it’, and go away disappointed.

We therefore contacted the ‘Flashback 67’ display organiser, Chris Dannatt, and he brought his exhibition down to Cotman Hall (then behind Mrs Simpson’s Tearoom), who also made no charge to us!

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

We opened on the Friday through to the Sunday, and more people came each day, and we received, some great feedback.

What also happened during the weekend, was Phil and Graham discussing with us the

possibility of having a commemorative stone laid recognising that UK offshore radio began off the coast of Felixstowe.

How have things progressed since then?

(Charles) One of the things being asked was if we gave talks to groups - we probably do three a year on average, including some return visits. These are mainly in the Felixstowe-Ipswich-Woodbridge area. We don’t charge a fee, but ask for a donation, which we split between Cancer Research UK & Radio Caroline itself. We try and mix it up between us speaking, audio clips and photos and videos.

We also took part in the 2016 and 2018 Heritage Open Days in Walton Community Hall and The Hut, respectively, and an event ‘Inside the Shed’ in Walton Church last year. Increasingly with our talks, we have displayed a small selection of our vintage radios from the 1960’s backwards, and these always get a lot of attention. The space in the church enabled us to display most of them together for the first time and proved to be a real winner! And we could listen to Caroline on 648kHz medium wave on them, since she was awarded a licence to broadcast to East Anglia, starting in December 2017.

Back to the Stone – that took longer than you expected?

Yes it did! We should have realised that these things don’t happen quickly and were further delayed by Phil Hadwen unexpectedly and sadly passing. We are indebted in particular to Roger Baker, then Chairman of the Felixstowe Society, the EoE Co-Op, and Councillor Mike Deacon, who saw the stone through to completion, three years later, in September 2017.

One thing that the delay did do, was to give us time to plan another event for the weekend the stone was unveiled. The Caroline merchandise team returned, as did the Flashback 67 Exhibition, but this time we were able to be all together in Trinity Methodist Church Halls. In addition, there was a mini record fair taking place and a display of vintage radios by ourselves and some friends.

And you had some special guests attend?

(Brian) Once we’d announced the event, the question we were asked most was ‘Have you got any big names coming?’ To which we would answer, ‘Hopefully’! We never expected that the likes of Emperor Rosko would come – he lives in California! However, he happened to be in the UK the following week to promote a charity and agreed to come! Both he and Tony Prince said ‘maybe’ when we first approached them, and when they both confirmed, it had a knock-on effect, with others also coming, like Mark West/Wesley, Roger ‘Twiggy’ Day, not forgetting Alan Turner, who joined us again.

We also had some Caroline presenters from the 70’s through to the present day. We estimated around 250 people came to the stone unveiling, with over a 1000 coming to the Exhibition over the two days, from as far away as Scotland and Dorset. We received so much positive feedback afterwards, and it was gratifying to realise the pleasure the event had given to lots of people.

What are your plans for 2019?

(Brian) Back in 2014, we were also visited at Fish Dish by Sue and Colin Tod from Felixstowe Museum, and as a result they used some of our material for a display on the wall in their tearoom from 2015 through to 2018. This year, the Felgate Room will have a 1960’s themed display, including an expanded feature about Felixstowe & Offshore Radio. The museum will be reopened for 2019 on Easter Day at noon by the Mayor, Graham Newman.

We hope that visitors during the summer will come to the museum, then take the ferry across to Harwich, where they can visit the historic LV18 Lightship, and see some radio history on both sides of Harwich Harbour!

We intend to carry on with our talks, and of course are always interested in seeing any offshore radio related material, as well as vintage radios.

Anyone who is interested to know more can contact us – we would be delighted to hear from them using the details below: Brian Nichols 07714 596655 Facebook: felixstoweandoffshoreradio With thanks to www.radiocaroline.co.uk.

Olive bread Mmm... imagine the smell of these beauties! There’s nothing like homely spring recipies Olives are a naturally sugar-free food, containing the “good” kind of fat, which can improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Ingredients 92g green chopped olives 2/3 cup chopped black olives 500g bread flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp rosemary 1 1/2 tsp chili flakes Fresh thyme leaves 25g fresh yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast) 360ml water Method In a large bowl mix flour with salt, garlic powder, rosemary, chilli flakes and fresh thyme leaves. Dissolve the fresh yeast in 120ml water and add to the flour mixture.

20

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

Add the rest of 240ml water and start kneading the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add olives and knead a bit more until incorporated. Grease with olive oil a clean bowl, transfer the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 2.5 hours at room temperature until tripled in size.

On a floured surface flatten the dough into an oval shape and start rolling one edge inward. Roll and turn upside down and shape it into a ball. Sprinkle flour over a clean towel, and place over the dough. Let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Meanwhile turn the oven to 240°C and put a 9-inch round cast-iron pan inside without the lid. When ready, pop the dough in the pan and allow to bake for 25-30 minutes with the lid on to create steam. Remove the lid and bake for another 20 minutes at 230°C to let the bread get some crispy golden-brown crust.

Take the bread out of the oven and place on a cooling rack while taking in a deep breath and soaking in that unbeatable smell of fresh baked bread!

Finally, let it cool completely before cutting.

Book Review

A review of Every Note Played by Lisa Genova In her latest book, Every Note Played, Lisa Genova explores the complexity of forgiveness in the face of tragedy. How does a person let go of a series of wrongs in order to do the right thing?

Richard Evans is known throughout the world for his concert piano skills. His fans adore him, other musicians aspire to play like him, and women want to be with him.

However, when he finds himself diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), no one wants to know him. He is all alone in the world, except for an ex-wife whom he hurt and betrayed time and again and a daughter who he barely knows. He chose the piano, touring and other women instead of being with his family. Now alone and becoming more and more helpless, Richard realizes the mistakes he has made. But is it too late to make amends?

Karina, his ex-wife, has been trying to move on for the last few years without much success. She is in the same house, doing the same job, and is filled with anger for the life she never had. She also wanted to be a successful pianist and was, in fact, much better than Richard when they were starting out. But when she got pregnant, she let her dreams slide away. She loves her daughter, but still blames her ex-husband for being a part of losing herself. However, she has some things to be forgiven for as well. She had her own secrets during their marriage.

When Richard can no longer live by himself and doesn’t have the resources for round-the-clock care, who will step up to help him during the last stages of his life?

Will it be Karina, who can barely stand to look at him, or his daughter Grace, who is 22

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

filled with resentment for having a father who was never around?

Genova shows the devastation of a disease that has no cure and slowly robs its victims of every function, until it takes away life itself. She also portrays the power of family and what forgiveness can do for the soul.

Lisa Genova lives in the United States and is a New York Times best-selling author who has appeared on Dr. Oz, the TODAY show, CNN, PBS Newshour, and NPR. She has a degree in Biopsychology and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Harvard University.

WHAT YOU DO MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND CREATES RIPPLES YOU MIGHT NOT SEE. #BETHECHANGE THE FELIXSTOWE MAGAZINE www.thefelixstowemagazine.com

Long-term v Helen Lakey “Plop - The boy who saved the world” Each year we have the challenge of finding new ways to raise funds. The animals we help in East Suffolk, depend on it.

So, we are delighted that Helen Lakey, one of our long-term volunteers at our Felixstowe Charity Shop has written two books and all the royalties will be donated to the local RSPCA! PLOP! The Boy who saved The World is published as an e-book on Amazon for £1.99. It is a children’s story but has a message for all of us. The young superhero’s journey starts with him, as a toddler, throwing a pebble into the sea.

(Felixstowe’s beach was the obvious inspiration!) As he grows and learns more about the world, he ends up on a mission to save the planet. He harnesses the power of the internet to create a global wave of goodwill for his cause. It is a thoughtprovoking story of our times and is both funny and tear-jerking.

The Trainees go West is a children’s book featuring the Little Train that runs along the Felixstowe Prom. With Ray N. Bow at the controls it takes four children on a magical journey to Joshua Tree and The Heblux where the Celestial Light Orchestra plays.

Also published as an e-book on Amazon, it costs just 99p.

Please go online and buy them. Everybody wins and e-books are so ‘green’!

Helen loves Felixstowe and feels very fortunate to live by the sea.

Helen is more of a cat person and the most beautiful cat she ever had, Ziggy, was from our RSPCA Martlesham Centre, and that is who she named Plop’s hero after. She has a lovely dog at the moment.

Charity shops play a huge part in helping the environment. Goods that may have ended up in landfill are recycled - with many a bargain to be had. A win-win for all! Thanks to the wonderful customers, staff and volunteers at our RSPCA shop in Hamilton Road, Felixstowe, we have bucked retail trends in 2018 and our sales showed a healthy increase. That is very welcome, because our Animal Centre at Martlesham and our Welfare Clinic in Ipswich are self-funding Helen has volunteered at our Felixstowe Shop for over 10 years. She loves helping at the shop and feels that as well as helping local animals in need, it brings the community together in such positive ways.

She adds that Cathie and Jo the Managers are great!

Lee Mead - In the flesh Charming, humble and determined, we were delighted to interview Holby City star, the lovely Lee Mead From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Holby City, you’ve done so well with your career. Where do you get your drive from?

I get a strong work ethic from my Dad seeing him do a 90-hour week. When you grow up around that first-hand and see how hard he works, you can’t help but get affected by it. So I’ve worked consistently for the last 17 years. I love to work and it’s paid off. I said I’d give myself 10 years, but by the time I turned 30 I was established.

I’ve known great actors in their 50s scraping for work, so I feel lucky.

I’ve always wanted to be a father and have a family. I wanted to be a teacher too… I thought I’d do that if I hit 30 with no acting job. You have to take a leap of faith and lots of risk and sacrifice.

Family is a big part of my success. My dad would really support me a lot - he gave me emotional support and confidence. For any job interview it’s hard but as an actor you’re so exposed. In 9 out of 10 interviews, you don’t get the job. You have to have a real deep sense of self-belief and be true to how far your talent can take you. My parents are so loyal and confident and behind me, but I find there’s a lot of luck involved too.

What was it like to work with the great Andrew Lloyd Webber?

Very surreal… I’ve known of him, but he’s almost like a cartoon character I’ve grown 26

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

up with. 5 months of auditions before the live shows of Joseph (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) I was in London and the casting director told me that Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber were there for an hour. So, she told me to audition in front of them. I remember walking in there, and I sang a song called Anthem which Tim Rice wrote. “Wow,” Tim said, “it’s a shame we’re not casting Chess as I’d cast you now.”

I remember me and Andrew at a piano, he sang Love Never Dies, and he asked me what I thought. It was amazing to be asked that!

Working with Andrew Lloyd Webber, have you got the bug to write, produce or direct a show of your own?

That’s so strange you just asked that as I want to! Potentially this year in the Civic Theatre in Chelmsford. My friend, Ian Knowles that runs it, asked me to write and produce my own plays. I’ve got 20 years of contacts and experience, so I’d like to produce my own play.

You now have 5 albums. Did your role as Joseph play the largest role in aspiring to be a singer?

I’ve always sung and been an actor. I write a lot of music and that’s when I noticed I could sing. I was fortunate enough to have Gary Barlow write me a song and that album went gold and sold 100K copies. With record albums it’s all about units, so it was a lot of pressure. A friend told me I could produce my own albums so Love Songs was my first and I released that… it was so great.

I’ve learnt my craft in depth and have been producing my own records ever since.

Is there a particular magic about stage Vs screen and vice versa?

It’s a different kind of buzz really. Obviously with a live audience you get that instant reaction which is lovely and with TV it’s

more about getting your performance right for camera and the feedback is much later.

How did it feel to have a part written especially for you in Casualty and Holby City?

It was great as that rarely happens.

For you, what is your greatest achievement?

Being a father to Betsy, my daughter.

You are the patron for The Mushroom Theatre Company charity. Tell us about it.

The charity supports wonderful kids and allows them to express themselves and be part of a group and put on shows.

It’s a charity which is based in Rayleigh, Essex and aims to bring able-bodied and disabled people together to socialise and perform. (mushroomtheatre.co.uk).

Have you been to Felixstowe before?

It’s my first time in Felixstowe but I’m looking forward to catching up with a good friend who is from here.

In your tour, Lee Mead - My Story, there’ll be an intimate interview – what do you want your fans to know about you?

Come and see the show and all will be revealed. What makes it a different style show, is that I’ll have Adam Dennis my pianist so I will sing some songs. I’m quite nervous and I’ll be interviewed by Beverley Humphreys from the BBC. The show will give the audience a real insight to my life.

What a genuinely lovely person, and after getting to know Lee we feel quite proud of how from humble beginnings, he’s carved out a wonderful career and life. If you’d like to see Lee in action, his show at the Spa Pavilion is on Saturday 23rd March at 7.30pm All Tickets are £25. A limited number of VIP ‘Meet and Greet’ at £58. 01394 284962. @Leemeadofficial

Pop-up sho A regular update from a brilliant local charity, providing financial, practical and general support You’ll probably know about the pop-up shops pioneered in Suffolk by the BASIC Life Charity. But what you might not know is how much demand there actually is for them, while there are debates on where there is a need for pop-ups, those working in the social and community welfare see evidence of poverty all too often. With bills and outgoings that must take precedence, food shopping is often the first thing that goes at the bottom of the priority list.

Whether it’s because of the change to the benefit system, no money management training, people recovering from the effect of the recession, losing a job, ill-health, pensions being inadequate to cover essentials, or any of the other many reasons, food banks and pop-ups are proven to be popular and life-saving in times of need.

In February, France became the first country to make it illegal for supermarkets to throw away edible food - they have to give it to community groups. BASIC hopes this law will come to the UK. The concept is simple. With thanks to Tesco, M&S, Morrisons, Coop, Waitrose, Lidl, Krusty’s Bakery, The Bakery and Fareshare, donations of food are picked up by the BASIC van.

Local churches, (listed on the next page) open their doors for their pop-ups. Visitors simply buy a bag for £1 (a maximum of 2) and help themselves. There are absolutely NO questions or qualifications.

Everybody is welcome.

The money raised from the pop-ups are currently used for two projects: the Walton Parish Nurse who comes to the pop-ups every fortnight and for a craft initiative for local residents. Any surplus food is given to

ops with free food

the Senior Citizen’s Centre in Howard House on Orwell Road.

The pop-up shops are proving so popular that they’ve had a visit from the BBC and have opened up in Norwich and Leytonstone in collaboration with a local mosque.

BASIC Pop-Up Shops @11am - 12noon Mondays Trimley Free Church, 182 High Road, Trimley St Mary, IP11 0SS, 01394 276171 Tuesdays Saint Edmunds Church, Langer Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2HR, 07814 949828 Saint Phillips Church Hall, Felixstowe, IP11 2LP, 01394 670090 Thursdays St Peter & St Paul’s Church, Church Road, Felixstowe IP11 9NF, 01394 670940 Other projects in the pipeline BASIC are soon to launch their Period Poverty campaign to raise awareness for the need of personal hygiene for girls, especially school girls who may not have the funds every month. The campaign aims is to ensure that no young woman goes without access to menstrual protection.

1 in 10 young women (aged 14-21) have been unable to afford period products. It is quite simple really: if you can’t afford food, you can’t afford menstrual products.

We take for granted small things like this, but this is an issue and together with over 750 schools across the UK involved in the campaign, BASIC are proud to be working with the Felixstowe Academy and Library to bring the initiative to Felixstowe.

Also coming soon are BASIC’s community allotments. There will be two: one in Trimley and one at the Cowpasture Allotment on Grove Road. BASIC hope to make this allotment a hub of community activity and education for children. Anyone can get involved by growing and tending to vegetables, use the produce grown and bringing their children to discover how everything is grown and looked after.

SPRING 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 31 5/14/09 6:48:09 PM

The Felix Stowaways Felixstowe’s very own sea shanty crew... ...the ultimate Buoy Band!

Who is in the band?

The crew are Norman, Mark, Andy, Terry and, myself, Steve. We are just five local guys who love singing. Well, we all live locally but Andy is the only born and bred Felixtovian. It’s a great town and being a port, we feel it’s a good place for a shanty band to be. We’ve all got a little bit of singing experience, except Mark. Until he joined the band, he’d never sung in public before so big respect to him. It’s not an easy thing to do.

Tell us a bit about how you got started.

Norman put an advert in the local press in November 2014, asking if anyone fancied starting a shanty band in the area. Initially, eight guys replied to the advert, and we met up in the Half Moon in Walton for a chat. Two of the guys decided it wasn’t for them, but the other six started rehearsing about two weeks later. Since then our sixth member, has moved onto other things, leaving the current crew.

And do you all get on?

Yes, very much so. We’ve got a good mix of personalities, as well as a good mix of voices. There is a great social element as well. We have regular get togethers with our wives, which invariably end up with a few songs.

So what exactly is a sea shanty?

Back in the days of sailing ships, the work of the crew was very physical. Raising the anchor, hoisting the sails and so on. To make the tasks easier, the ship would have a shantyman who would lead rhythmic singing to ensure everyone pulled, heaved or hauled at the same time.

32

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

Are there different types of shanty?

Yes. There are pumping shanties, capstan shanties, halyard shanties, whaling shanties; each would have a different rhythm to fit the particular job. There are also fo’csle shanties, which were songs sung by the crew during their limited leisure time, just for their own enjoyment. We also include sea songs in our repertoire to mix things up a bit.

What kind of events do you perform at?

We are regulars at the monthly folk night at The Half Moon in Walton (4th Thursday of the month), but we’ve done a lot of different things. We took part in the Carnival procession in 2017, on board the Felixstowe Coastal Patrol boat, we’ve sung at several events at Landguard Fort and at Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club. We took part in the Felixstowe in Flower launch, two years ago and also the Mayor’s Concert at St John’s Church. We have also hosted the Half Moon Folk Day for the last four years, raising money for the Coastal Patrol guys.

That’s quite a range of events.

We’ve done some travelling outside the town as well. We performed at the Horning Boat Show in Norfolk, in 2016 and 2018.

For the last four years, we’ve been lucky enough to be invited to The Harwich International Shanty Festival. It’s the Glastonbury of Shanty festivals so it’s a fantastic weekend, and almost on our door step.

Have you been abroad at all?

Yes, as a matter of fact we have. Shanty singing is a much bigger thing in Holland, than the UK. Pretty much every town has a shanty crew. They often have events they call ‘ShantyCafes’, and we have attended one of these events in Leeuwarden in Friesland, for the last two years. We were contacted by a Dutch crew called The Forebitter Men, and they invited us over to The Netherlands for their ShantyCafe.

How does a ShantyCafe differ from a normal show?

Fantastic. Why did you choose the Sailing Club as the venue?

5 or 6 crews gather together at a venue to sing, chat, swap songs, eat and drink. Of course, the public are welcome as well, and it’s usually a free event. It’s a great format.

It’s that thing of being amongst like-minded people; it really works well.

It’s such a beautiful setting down there, overlooking the river and the Deben estuary.

It’s seemed like the ideal place to sing sea shanties. It’s going to be a great event and we hope lots of people come down to listen and enjoy the music.

Sounds good. So, what have you got lined up for this year?

Is there a particular event you’re very proud of?

We’ve been invited back to Harwich again in October, but our main event this year is our own UK ShantyCafe. That takes place on Saturday 6th April at The Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club from 2pm. We have four UK shanty crews signed up (including ourselves) and two Dutch crews, our friends, The Forebitter Men and Ol’ Hands Shantymen from Apeldoorn. We believe this is the first event of its kind in the UK, and we hope it will become an annual event.

We are very proud of our appearances at the Harwich Festival, of course, but we have high hopes for the ShantyCafe becoming an annual event, and hopefully getting bigger over the years. And if we can raise some cash for the Felixstowe Coastal Patrol at the same time, we will be very happy.

Felixstowe Volunteer Centre

Martin

Millie

Invaluable local volunteers helping those in need Our purpose: Our centre was formed in 1984 by a group of likeminded Felixstowe residents who wanted to give something back to the community, to assist the needs of the local residents.

Since our opening, the centre has assisted many local residents in their time of need, and particularly helping with transport to hospital appointments, even as far as Papworth, Addenbrookes, Colchester, Stowmarket and Norwich hospitals. Like the lovely lady who lives on her own. Due to ill health, she cannot get to hospital for her appointments as she needs help with a wheelchair. As there are restrictions placed on the ambulance and hospital car service, we arranged for a volunteer driver to take this lady to her appointments, and most importantly, wait with her and then bring her back home. Without our help she would struggle and be uncertain of who she could turn to for help.

There are times when people have lost their loved ones, or due to health or social insecurity, have few friends. This can be very lonely and isolating, so we arrange for a volunteer to pay a muchneeded visit and build a friendship. These volunteers often become invaluable companions by visiting regularly and providing comfort and friendship whenever it’s needed.

Our centre is also dedicated to helping our volunteers. One volunteer is widower 34

and said that being a volunteer is a valuable part of his life; it keeps him in contact with the outside world and meeting a variety of people does him good. Another volunteer wanted something to do after retiring and volunteering has made him feel like he is doing something worthwhile by helping others and giving back to the community.

If as a local resident you need help - perhaps with shopping, hospital transport or maybe just companionship to brighten up your day, please contact us - we are here, and we are happy to help.

Funding: The charity has a committee of nine volunteers and like most other registered charities, we have had a challenging year following the loss of local authority grants due to government austerity measures. This resulted in the committee having to look to other areas for funding for the vital services that are supplied to local residents.

Whilst funding is likely to be an ongoing battle the committee would like to thank all the companies and local councillors that have supported us financially over the last 12 months. Charitable donations have been made by many individuals to assist with our running costs, these donations together with the support of local business has ensured

A Spring in My Step!

Random ramblings by our local lad As we near the end of winter, washing our slippers, sticking the flannelette sheets in vacuum storage bags, downgrading the tog rating of our Eiderdowns and venturing into the world of salad I often dwell on what an extraordinary transition we make this time of year.

I once heard someone say, “I wasn’t made for winter, I want my flipflops back!”

And you see that totally resonates with me. Don’t get me wrong I’m not one of those fellas who the moment we have three minutes of sunshine is out on the prom in Dr Scholls, cut-downs and a ‘I Love Boris Johnson’ vest, I have a little more decorum. I do enjoy lounging around the house in slightly less heavy attire however.

At the start of winter, it is quite appealing to snuggle down in cosy indoor apparel but by February I’m usually feeling rather jaded about it all. The novelty of lurking around indoors in a Yogi Bear onesie, zip-up hoodie and slipper socks wears a bit thin. What are slipper socks I hear you say. Well to me they’re a life-saver. When it’s nippy around the house I can wear my thick, snug slipper socks which are socks that ingeniously boast an integrated rubbery kind of sole. They’re non-slip you see. They mean I can rush into the kitchen wearing them to avoid my Ovaltine boiling over in the microwave without me ever having a fall on the laminate floor.

Actually, at nearly 49 years old am I old enough to have a fall yet? Wouldn’t it just be more of a ‘slipping over’ for someone my age?

And talking of kitchens and laminate floors (mine is made of pressed bamboo which I loved until a Greenpeace loving friend of mine pointed out that my flooring possibly contributed to the death of a Giant

Panda) there’s spring cleaning. I never understood the idea of it until we did it in earnest one year.

It’s not so much the general cleaning, although you do go for it a little harder at the turn of the season, evident by the amount of Mr Sheen, Flash and Toilet Duck you get through. My old mum once said I was a fool buying all that stuff and should instead use vinegar, but I’ve never been able to get that Balsamic stain out of my hand-woven antimacassar; that was the last time I ever took advice from her. No, the everyday type cleaning is one thing but the turning out of stuff accumulated over winter is something else.

My Princess Leia earmuffs were the first thing to go (I never did wear them… well maybe once). I found a pair of hand warmers with a nuclear waste warning sign on them as a joke which I remember rendered me - by a security guard - unsuitable for entering the National Science Museum.

But the wintery thing I have been most pleased to see the back of was a stuffed effigy of Nicola Sturgeon doing the splits which is intended to be used as a door draft-excluder; a gift from Edinburgh.

So, if you were to ask me what my favourite thing about winter was, I’d have to answer: “When it’s over”.

Local People

Janice and Philip Hills There’s no better way to feel closer to our town than getting to know our neighbours With a rich heritage from a variety of cultural backgrounds and ancestors, Janice and Phil moved to Felixstowe after a long and successful career starting with nursing and finally holistic practice; classic osteopathy and acupuncture.

Tell us about this lovely heritage you have.

(Janice) Well, while I was brought up in Mumbai (Bombay) my maternal greatgrandmother was originally from Kashmir, north India. In those days the French colonies were growing so she married a French/Indian man. This is where the cultural mix of ancestors started. Phil and I started to trace our ancestry because it’s so interesting to know where you come from. It would be so much easier if I was purely Indian, but because of the mix, I’m so curious to know my family’s history. It’s

38

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

been difficult to trace it though; in India, documents got easily lost in those days and there is no hard evidence of my family tree. My surname was anglicised just like many Indian surnames were back then, so again, it’s hard to trace.

What was is like to be brought up in Mumbai?

I was brought up in Mumbai, and one of the scariest times was in 1971, during the war in Pakistan. I would hear bombs going off and at school, our teachers were so well trained to be calm that when the sirens went off, they’d make it a bit of a game to hide under our tiny tables. It was actually kind of fun!

When did you come to the UK? There were 7 in my family - the elder children stayed in Mumbai due to marriage or work, so my parents, brother and I came in 1973 when I was 15. We first moved to Ipswich. It was so boring - like a village back then! I was envious of my cousins that lived in London.

But coming back to Felixstowe for retirement was the best thing we ever did.

How is life with such a wonderful mix of cultures between you both?

Very enriched!

Phil you have a little exciting ancestry yourself?

Yes - I discovered it completely by accident.

We went for a trip to Orsett which is where I met Janice. I was reading through some books on Orsett and came across my family name. In looking further, I found my family had a line of butchers right the way back to my great-great-great-Grandfather. In those days, butchers were also doctors, and my great-great-Grandfather was actually Wellington’s surgeon in the Battle of Waterloo!

Wow! Did that inspire you to research your own family tree further?

Yes, it did. Janice and I are both drawing up our ancestral lines. As Jan said, it’s really interesting to discover where you’ve come from.

How did you meet each other?

(Janice) I was a student nurse in a hospital in Orsett, and Phil was training to specialise as a coronary nurse. My friend told Phil’s friend that I fancied him, but I didn’t really, she just thought we would go well together.

I couldn’t believe he was the same age as me, he always looked more mature!

Typical Essex lad that he is, Phil took me to a South End United football game for our first date. He drove us in a conked-out Ford Anglia, no heating - it was freezing. He had a hanger for an aerial on his car! He was so broke, I had to buy the fish and chips! (laughs). I couldn’t wait to get home. I never went to another game again.

(Phil) I was impressed that she stuck with me - 3 years later we got married.

How was it to work together in hospital?

(Janice) A nightmare! We had to deal with the deceased and I hated dead bodies.

It scared me so much. I’d have 10 pairs of gloves on, I wore an apron front and back and plastic shoe covers! Phil and his friends used to get up to all sorts of mischief. I remember once, a cubicle curtain was drawn for a patient. The heart monitor showed a flatline and there was an alarm on the monitor. I thought, “God, they’ve

just left this poor patient and he’s just passed away!” Phil and his friend, Patrick, asked me to handle the patient, so off I went, totally irritated as I hated this part of the job. I got the trolley I needed with all the paraphernalia, put on my 10 gloves, apron and shoe protectors, and went towards the cubicle. I drew the curtain back, and saw that the patient was sitting up, white as a sheet, book in hand and glasses on. There was a used commode by his side. I was irritated even more! I thought, “God, these men have just left him here like this! He’s just died and they left him!” This patient was white as sheet and the heart monitor was still making a sound to alert us that he had passed on.

I reached over and just as I was close to touching the patient, he slowly turned his head and looked at me! I screamed in absolute horror! Phil and Patrick were watching from a distance - they were in hysterics - they’d just taken the patient to use the commode and unplugged his heart monitor and didn’t plug it back in, which is why the alarm was going off. I couldn’t believe it. I gave my apologies to the patient and made up some excuse that I saw a mouse. I was fuming!

Phil did so many things like that: getting a colleague to lie on a coroners table with a sheet on and jump up when I went over. He did it all the time. It terrified me (laughs)!

That sounds awful but very funny too! How did you eventually get into acupuncture?

Actually, I later got very ill and had to leave nursing as it’s a very physical job, so I started in nursery with my two little ones. I liked it. I went into teaching, but the government started to harass us with new rules and regulations, so I came out of teaching and studies Chinese acupuncture.

This type is very different from other acupuncture technicques as it’s very holistic.

Coming from a background governed by modern medicine, you’ve both opted for natural, holistic therapies. Why is that?

(Janice) Nothing is more impressive than when you see a patient get instant relief.

As a practitioner in whatever field, the result you want for your patients is freedom from pain and discomfort. Wellbeing.

SPRING 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 39

The medical culture in China is amazing.

Doctors in China have needles in their pockets to immediately relieve pain for patients, instead of reaching for medication. Operations are the last option. Modern medicine of course has its place, but I think it’s important to always think twice when it comes to drugs. Some very commonly prescribed medications give such a host of symptoms themselves that they cause more harm than good.

Neither Phil nor I have been to a doctor in the past 30 years.

been helped by this Classic Osteopath, either by myself or by other graduates of the college. It’s phenomenal. I recall a lady I helped who couldn’t conceive. After 3 treatments, I later found out she had conceived not long after the treatment and given birth to a healthy little girl.

How about yourself, Phil?

I was so privileged to have trained under Wernham before he died in 2007.

(Phil) While nursing, I went to a lecture by the late John Wernham. Wernham was student of John Martin Littlejohn, the father of Osteopathy in 1907. Wernham’s lecture really hit home and it was a lightbulb moment for me. I remember we were on holiday together and I told Janice there and then, “I must hand in my resignation.”

Littlejohn’s school of Osteopathy was soon taken over by the British School of Osteopathy for financial gain, but Wernham dedicated his life to preserving the full technology of it and set up The Institute of Classical Osteopathy. This is where I studied. There are many types of osteopathy, but Classic Osteopathy produces profound and swift results. I have so many stories of people that have 40

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

While training, I used to run a lot and I had this hamstring issue. I tried so many things.

I went to Wernham and he sorted it in one treatment. I had to change my (medical) viewpoint but it was definitely a lightbulb moment for me.

I wanted my daughter, Lara, to meet him around Christmas time. Luckily, she got to meet him just 2 months before he died. Lara is now trained as a Classic Osteopath and practices in Felixstowe.

(Janice) John was a scary man (laughs).

You’d never want to contradict him. He didn’t ever tolerate nonsense and was dedicated to resolving his patients’ health.

We were lucky to have met him. People came from all over the world to meet him, be treated by him and be trained by him.

Because of our medical background, we’re able to appreciate holistic therapies so much more. Acupuncture is such an incredible field. It works with your chi meridians (energy flows/lines) of the body. These are entirely different to other body systems. I remember

treating a patient when I was training, who felt instant relief. I was shocked that he got so much relief. It’s these undeniable results that made us really look further into the field of medicine and therapy.

I had asthma as a child - it runs in the family. It would get so bad that I was on steroid which cause terrible side effects like damage to the bones. When Phil trained as an osteopath, he started to treat me, and I came off the steroids and inhalers. I hardly ever had symptoms now. As soon as I get a tight chest due to a cold or something Phil treats me and I’m fine.

How long does it take to train?

(Phil) You do your usual medicine training for 4 years and then a further 2-year specialist course. The Institute of Classical Osteopathy is the only college in the world now teaching Classical Osteopathy.

Why don’t we hear more about alternate therapies like Classical Osteopathy?

(Phil) Sadly, there is a such a suppression about alternate medicine/therapy. It steps on the toes of high-industry pharmaceuticals. But the results of such therapies speak for themselves.

With such a wealth of knowledge, is there any way to utilise this even in retirement?

I’ve lecture all over the world to raise awareness on the links to osteopaths and improvement of heart disease and other constitutional conditions. It’s fulfilling to pass on my knowledge

to others and point them in the right direction for better health solutions.

How do you plan to spend your retirement?

(Phil) We moved to Felixstowe 2 years ago to be close to our daughter, Lara, and her two girls. It really was the best thing we ever did moving here. We love the sea.

Every Wednesday we go to the Tai Chi lesson in Causton Primary School, on Maidstone Road in Walton. It’s one of the best things we’ve ever done for ongoing healthy exercise. We highly recommend Tai Chi as a form of exercise for all problems.

And yoga too!

Lara, has a Classic Osteopathy clinic on Princes Road so it’s nice to support her and sometime go to her for treatments if we need it for ourselves.

I’m also the Master of Ceremonies at St Felix Church, and Janice and I are both volunteers at Landguard Fort - I specifically organise the social media for the fort.

It’s been a fun life - so fulfilling. It’s fulfilling to help others and give then much-needed relief from their physical problems.

Wonderful! What a lovely couple to interview and we learnt so much from them! If you would like to feature in a future article, please contact us by email: info@thefellixstowemagazine.com

Litter-Free Felixstowe Litter-free people!

Doing their part to safeguard Felixstowe’s environment with this local campaign Have you ever wondered why people join community groups and particularly one focused on litter-picking? We caught up with members of Litter-Free Felixstowe as they prepared to tackle plastic waste washed up on the beach near the Pier.

It was a crisp, sunny Sunday morning as people started to gather, queuing up to register and be given their picker, hoop and bags. It was lovely to see the warm smiles and welcoming atmosphere - there seemed a real sense of fun before such an apparently mundane task. Quite a few people had come alone, some were there for the first time; others had dogs accompanying them and several had come with younger children.

The children were excited at the prospect of a ‘scavenger hunt’ to win cinema tickets. There were special smaller litter42

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

pickers and a number of children were clearly used to litter-picking with one dedicated 13-year-old regularly out with her father picking up litter whenever she could. Another dad arrived with two children who had seen the brightly coloured Litter-Free Felixstowe banners after their swim at the nearby Leisure Centre - they had begged to join in: “It looked fun!” they said.

And then just when the organisers thought that they had registered everyone, along came the Cubs with their adult helpers. Keen to do good work in the community which would count towards relevant badges, they brought with them bucket loads of lively enthusiasm. At the end, over 80 people had joined in with nearly 30 new members asking to join as they witnessed the litter-pick from the Prom. The Pier also encouraged by kindly offering free hot drinks and bacon rolls at the Boardwalk at the end of the litter-pick. It really felt like a community event, full of diverse people.

Getting other groups involved is a clear aim of Litter-Free Felixstowe. They welcome other active members and also hope to publicise other people’s events clearing up plastic waste and litter-picking. Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is one group who regularly

“Working with an orphanage, we have repaired climbing frames, staircases, chairs and tables! We have guided the children to build their own bed, work tops, benches and stools, whilst teaching them vital hand tool skills to carry out maintenance of their own in the future!” says Brendan.

“Our extremely dedicated nurses from H2d volunteers provided the community with reflexology and medical help and advice to aid their conditions!

Unfortunately, the community cannot afford healthcare, so this made a huge difference to them and was wonderful to see!”

Brendan regularly sends photos and posts back to the UK and to the delight of members of Litter-Free Felixstowe, recently reported he had organised a litter-pick on the beach in Ghana. support the efforts of Litter-Free Felixstowe, and vice-versa, with Melissa Masters of SAS organising the clever scavenger hunt for children. Jason Alexander (photo above bottom right) the highly successful leader of ‘Rubbish Walks’ also works with Litter-Free Felixstowe and he publicises the group’s activity whenever he can. In the past week, both he and Debbie Bartlett of Litter-Free had been chatting to BBC Suffolk’s Mark Murphy about beach cleaning. Debbie said, “We really enjoy collaborating with other groups - it makes sense to work together and promote each other. Like-minded people really inspire you to carry on and try to do more.”

Another group who is really getting behind Litter-Free Felixstowe is HappyGlobe (pictured in the top right photo whilst in Ghana) - a newly formed Community Interest Company (CIC) formed by two young Felixstowe-based friends Brendan Boyle and Chris Stennett. They came up with the idea of inspiring young people to make a difference at a late-night party! The idea grew quickly and although both have full time jobs they devote much of their spare time to expanding HappyGlobe. Brendan is currently in Ghana teaching his carpentry skills to local people.

“We have carried out 3 extremely successful beach cleans, collecting an incredible amount of waste and promoting environmental welfare amongst the children!”

Litter-picking is something HappyGlobe feel very strongly about as part of their environmental commitment. They bring with them energy, big smiles and a very happy outlook.

Students, teachers, business owners, retired people, young children - all joining in litterpicking on our beaches and in public spaces. Some do it to keep fit and get fresh air; some do it to make new friends, others to spend time with family. What unites them is they care enough to devote their own time; a good bunch of people who take pride in Felixstowe - why not join them on their next litter-pick on the first Sunday of every month?

The 1953 North Sea Floods

Commorating the anniversary of the 1953 North Sea floods

The 1953 Floods have been described as the worst natural disaster in modern British history causing the deaths of over 2000 men, women and children in the UK and in parts of Europe, particularly the Netherlands.

In Felixstowe, 41 people died; young children, families, elderly residents and servicemen stationed in the town. It is an event which survivors feel should never be forgotten. The exhibition held last year to commemorate the 65th anniversary generated the feeling that the town should continue to remember the events of January 31st, 1953. Once more in 2019 locals met at the Flood memorial in Langer Road and remembered.

Two local historians, Jean Macpherson and Bev Boyce are preparing a book to commemorate the 70th anniversary in 2023. Dick Moffatt’s excellent book, published in 2003, reminded us of individual tragedy and the community spirit evident at that time.

Why write another book you may ask?

Jean and Bev know that there are stories which need to be told for the first time. Jean’s parents and family were involved in 1953 as they lived in Cavendish Road. Her mother, father, Grandma, two brothers and eldest sister were all affected. Jean was born in 1953, conceived around the flood time, so this 44

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

event has held a fascination in her life as it was always the family tale that mum was so grateful Dad had survived a very harrowing experience whilst out in his taxi on that fateful night. One story that Jean was told by Ethel Dodson, her mother (later a teacher at Langer Primary School), when Jean was teaching Deben High School pupils about the local history of this period.

Jean recalls: “My mother was teaching in Ipswich at the time and, like many, continued her normal life on the Monday morning by going to work despite the state of her house in Cavendish Road and her harrowing ordeal. Grandma was looking after my sister and brothers. Mother was called into the headmistress’s study at break time to be reprimanded for wearing plimsolls as most unsuitable footwear for school. Mother told the Headmistress she had been flooded that weekend and last saw her school shoes floating out the back

door with some of the children’s toys after they had opened it to let water out which was racing in the front. The headmistress had not realised Felixstowe was so badly affected. (No instant news then!) At home time mother was once more summoned into the headmistress’s office. This time the headmistress presented her with a box of shoes containing the appropriate size and colour for school. My mother was overcome with the generosity from one normally so reserved and actually wore those shoes many a teaching day until her retirement in the 70s! (I remember cleaning them many a time). They were her brown teaching shoes for ever!”

Even in this early stage of research Bev and Jean are uncovering more stories and reactions to the events that have never been told. Hence the writing of a second book.

A local resident, Richard Phillips, got in touch to tell his sad tale of the night, here is his account of the floods: “I was walking home from the Spa with my mum and Aunt Joan. It was raining heavily and very windy - I remember the sea being so rough. In the morning we had 8 feet of water in the house. Despite the severe cold, my dear father chopped a wardrobe up to warm us up.

In Manwick Road I remember there was a bungalow on the end and my father heard shouting for help. The water was so cold but my brothers, Ted and Billy, and my father waded across the water to help them.

Along Langer Road, there were prefabs floating - the poor people. Mr Russell Eaton at the Cavendish opened the dance-floor room to help people that were stranded.

My respects to him. There were some brave men that night. Mr Brown from next door, my family and a navy man, we all stayed at the Melrose Hotel in Felixstowe. I thank the owner and staff there so much.

God bless all who lost their lives; I will never forget that night.”

One recent highlight was revealing how much help the town received and the numerous Felixstowe Flood Fund donations which were received in many forms as well as local shops helping- thank you Underwoods for offering 2/- in the Pound discount to Flood victims (10% ) replacing lost items. It is good a local business has that connection.

Jean and Bev would like to hear from anyone who lived through that period, who experienced the event, were evacuated or who were involved in the clean up or fund raising. The stories need to be told to remember the 41 who lost their lives.

They would particularly like to hear from anyone who lived in the flooded area of the Ordnance Roundabout to Landguard and the current Port, or at Felixstowe

Ferry which was also affected as was much farmland extending beyond there.

Although the Ferry suffered only one loss of life it has a vital story to tell of why this was so few when the houses were flooded as significantly as the Langer Road end of town where so many were lost. Perhaps you were one of the visitors to town to see for yourself? Records show that in the first few days over 600 cars an hour arrived in the town; visitors wanted to see the damage in the immediate aftermath.

Please contact Jean or Bev on 01394 272840 or via Jean’s Facebook Page or through the magazine and we will pass on your details them. Jean and Bev are particularly looking for any unpublished photographs of the period particularly those who lost lives. They will contact you to arrange an interview to hear your story.

IN THE

Garden Felixstowe’s gardening twins share their expert knowledge and experience

The yellow blossom of Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) has been flowering since February with its pretty fluffy perfumed flowers and attractive foliage. It was planted from a cutting I took from my last garden and it will continue flowering long into spring. The original tree was also a cutting taken by my late father, whose cousin was Eric Savill, Deputy Surveyor to King George VI, who in 1932 began laying out the famed Savill and Valley Gardens at Windsor Great Park. Eric became Director of Gardens from 1959 until 1970. He died in April 1980 two years before the Golden Jubilee of the garden. Eric had a great eye for landscaping and creating great vistas.

My first visit to the 35-acre Savill Garden and the 220 acres of the Valley Garden was in the mid 1980’s with my parents.

The Japanese quinces (Chaenomeles), honeysuckle (Lonicera purpusii Winter Beauty) and Daphnes may have faded but spring is here with a riot of yellows, creams and whites of the daffodils competing for insects along with the primroses. Tulips will shortly add their kaleidoscopic range of colours to the mix, popping through carpets of Forget-MeNot (Myosotis).

52

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

Mahonia Winter Sun, Viburnham bodnantense Dawn, Garrya elliptica and other winter flowering shrubs should be pruned, removing entangled branches that criss-cross one another. Prune roses to an outside shoot and cut out dead wood.

Buddleias need a chop too, removing old, diseased branches and Dogwoods (Cornus) grown primarily for their colourful red and yellow stems should be cut right back. Straggly climbers and winter jasmine can now be tidied along with the removal of shrivelled hydrangea flowers and old lifeless stems.

Snowdrops can be divided to increase next year’s display. Pull out dead growth on ornamental grasses and trim to reveal new shoots. Remove invasive razor-sharp sedge grass to prevent thousands of unwanted seeds spreading into your garden. Cut back perennials such as fuchsias and penstemons.

Ground elder and bindweed need forking out to minimise roots being sliced as tiny amounts of spaghetti-like root make new weeds. Invasive clumps of wild garlic should be removed. Do not place pernicious weeds in your compost. Nettles need to be kept in check but as they are soil improvers and caterpillars enjoy them, a small patch is

permissible near a compost area but well away from raspberry canes and your vegetable patch/allotment.

English lavenders thrive in our climate and the French varieties (Stoechas) though not so hardy do well in Felixstowe when planted in well-draining soil in a sunny aspect. If your lavenders are leggy and woody a slight trim now before flowering will help to keep them tidy but do not cut into woody stems as new growth will not appear. Rosemary does well here but look out for small shiny oval beetles which defoliate the leaves.

Fill empty unloved containers/window boxes with bright summer bedding.

Geraniums surrounded by Lobelia, or Violas with French Marigolds, give fantastic colour throughout the summer and will brighten any balcony.

Encourage more flowers by deadheading and water when needed.

Colourful and scented wallflowers (Erysimum) – annuals or the perennial Bowles Mauve – are great value. Continue deadheading to prolong their flowering, and then save the seeds for sprinkling to add colour for next year.

If you have ordered miniature plug plants, do not be tempted to plant them too soon as the nights are still cold. Summer bedding plants such as geraniums, petunias, violas, pansies, verbenas, French marigolds, begonias etc. will soon be available.

Showcasing the talents of young photographers Hi everyone, my name is Sam and I am a local amateur photographer, based in Trimley. I have had an interest in photography for a number of years, even more so recently since living in the Felixstowe area. The area has so many amazing spots for budding photographers to test their skills and photograph such a wide range of scenery.

I am delighted to be working for the Felixstowe Magazine and we are keen to give local young photographers the opportunity to have their pictures featured in future editions.

Having an interest in photography is a great way to get outdoors and appreciate what Felixstowe and the surrounding area has to offer. From modern architecture such as the newly built Pier and the Port of Felixstowe to the natural beauty of Trimley Marshes and some of the wildlife nearby, there really is a wide variety of ideas for that perfect photograph.

If you are a young budding photographer and would like to be considered for publication in the Felixstowe Magazine, please send your photos over.

Happy snapping!

Training for fitness and maybe more...

A few tips to help you on your fitness journey, or perhaps your first half- marathon Our focus now is to build running times up to 4 miles, which your will managed with a gradual build-up of the duration of your runs. You might experience your first “bad” run if you felt dizzy and weak which can be very disheartening after the progress you’ve made the past few months. However, the main cause of this would be insufficient water intake and therefore, dehydration.

Nutrition is a vital part of any fitness program and so food input needs to be considered carefully. Put simply, your body is made up of what you put into it. Make some small and simple changes in your diet. You’ll see a reduction in body fat and simultaneously you’ll see an increase in your energy levels and banished cravings for “bad” food.

Research strongly suggests that moderate dietary changes not only make you look better and become stronger, but reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and event various forms of depression.

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

For these upcoming months, you’ll need to show commitment and “staying power”, that can only come from personal determination to succeed, increase in aerobic fitness and the ability to address any issues presented and change bad habits.

No doubt there’ll be the odd setback, but just keep working at it and you will get there.

If you’re fairly new to running, you’ll feel like a car that has been kept in a garage for years under a sheet and has been rolled out as the owner has decided to use it again.

The car isn’t going to run smoothly straight away and there are going to be issues and things to sort out.

You might have a few little physical niggles that your new-found activity will bring to the fore but persist and get the better of these. You’ll notice that when you become more active, you’ll also become hungrier than before with a tendency to eat more unhealthy food and think it is OK because you’ve been for a run. Be mindful of this.

If you’re unsure of how to start your journey towards running a half-marathon, have a read of our first article in the Winter 2018 edition. Running 13 miles might still seems an unreal distant dream so only thinking about the next run… up to 4 miles now! Keep it steady, be determined and remember your basics; stretching, staying warm, hydrate, cool down properly and, have fun!

Mystery Shopper THE WHITE HORSE PUB

Reviewing everything local, here’s our elusive Mystery Shopper My partner and I decided we’d book ourselves in for a romantic meal for two at The White Horse on Church Lane. As pubs go, I wasn’t sure how romantic it would be but to my surprise, my partner and I had such a lovely evening - the social element was there true of any pub/restaurant, but we were also treated so well that we felt we could enjoy our own little bubble.

We both ordered the full three-course meal, which, for just £24.95 was incredibly reasonable. I opted for the oysters served on crushed ice served with a citrus marmalade (how could I not?!) and my partner went for the chicken liver pate, pork and cranberry jelly, served with toast. Both were divine! The oysters were smooth and did all the right things to my taste buds, and before he could say no, I managed to get a little bite of a heavily layered piece of toast... the pate had a strong and homely flavour and the jelly added a cool sweetness that left me wanting more.

For mains, I had to go for the steamed salmon served on a bed of samphire with a pernod and spring onion sauce, while my carnivore partner had the rib eye steak. Once again, the chef hit the nail on the head. The salmon was juicy, tender and melted in my mouth, all with what I found to be a very unique taste from the delicate sauce.

The grand finale came in the form of a heavenly chocolate toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream. Now this, was

the slice of heaven I’d been waiting for!

It was just amazing - so amazing that I didn’t get to take a photo of it for you, but the above photo gives you a good idea of how the desert looked before I demolished it!

Towards the end of our dinner, the ladies were all treated with a beautiful rose given by Karen herself, the lovely landlady of The White Horse. The perfect end to a perfect evening.

I appreciate that this menu we ate from was specifically to celebrate Valentine’s Day, however, you really couldn’t pick a friendlier place. We’ve visited The White Horse on several occasions and were always given warm smiles and homely delicious food.

Compliments to the chefs, Rick and Tom, to Rosie and Calise for their flawless service, and finally to Karen and Billy for their evident care for their customers and love of great food and drink.

Felixstowe Chamber of Trade & Commerce

Helping small home-based businesses and the self-employed in Felixstowe In a new effort to help small home-based businesses and the self-employed in Felixstowe prosper, the town’s Chamber of Trade and Commerce has opened a Business Hub upstairs at Crafty in Hamilton Road on Tuesday afternoons (from 2pm), as well as Wednesday and Thursday from 10am.

“We conducted a survey which showed that a majority of small businesses in Felixstowe wanted a venue like this, so we have opened the Hub on a trial basis with the support of East Suffolk Councils, Felixstowe Town Council, Felixstowe Forward and some local businesses to test demand,” said Chamber chairman Roger Abbott.

The Hub is open to all business people, with discount prices for the coffee consumed there. It is also available for hire by any other organisation for training courses, or business meetings by arrangement.

In addition to Crafty Coffee’s great coffee and a choice of delicious cakes and 60

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

scones, the new facility offers free wifi with an opportunity to do some work on your iPad, or Laptop, while you meet and chat to others about business ideas, obtain details of local training opportunities and business advice.

The Chamber also plans to hold regular events at the Hub, comprising of presentations and clinics on critical business issues, including finance; tax; sales and marketing; social media; data security; and law. In addition, it is hoped to run training courses at various times.

It is also working with the Careers and Enterprise Company and the Seckford Foundation to provide a business mentoring scheme for senior pupils preparing for the world of work at the Felixstowe Academy.

“We are keen to show local businesses and members that the Chamber is much more than a monthly Breakfast club, although we will continue with the Breakfasts every third Wednesday of the month,” said Mr Abbott.

Details of upcoming events at the Hub, the monthly networking Breakfasts and other news are posted on the Chamber’s website www.felixstowechamber.co.uk or contact the Chamber via email at: info@felixstowechamber.co.uk

The well-kept secret to mental balance With growing concern over the numbers affected by mental health, there is mounting evidence that a key to physical and mental balance may lie in the gut-brain connection.

Here’s a simple explanation of why this ‘connection’ is incredibly important to your mental and general wellbeing and how to harness its power.

How it works (in a nutshell): • The vagus nerve (VN) connects your brain to your stomach and intestines via the neck, face, throat, inner ear, heart, lungs and gut.

• The VN transmits messages back and forth from your gut to your brain, triggering beneficial ‘rest and digest’ or negative ‘fight or flight’ responses.

These will then either switch off or on: inflammation, digestion, nutrient

absorption, blood circulation, and immunity among many other systems.

How to stimulate the VN and create the right ‘healing’ responses: • Ujjayi breathing (daily): This deepbreathing method (search videos online) is one of the quickest ways to change your stress response and positively impact your gut and mental health.

• Relaxation techniques: From meditation to hugging, connecting with community and loved ones goes a long way to changing your stress response and creating a positive feedback loop with your brain.

• Humming: The stimulation of the throat, lungs and inner ear helps to switch off the ‘fight or flight’ response. Repeat a mantra when doing yoga or meditating; sing/hum your favourite song – daily.

And never underestimate the power of bathroom singing!

Planning for Retirement

Gone are the days of people working for one company their whole lives and receiving a single pension from that company. Now we tend to move around which means we are enrolled into various pension schemes throughout our careers and it’s very easy to lose track of them.

These neglected pension pots could be put to far better use and it doesn’t need to be difficult.

Multiple Pension Pots If you have money languishing in various pension schemes, you could make better use of them by putting them together and making sure they are managed properly.

This sounds easier said than done if you have pensions with various providers and aren’t sure where your paperwork is but there are companies that can help you gather all the information you need and, with your permission, liaise with pension providers on your behalf.

Take Back Control When you have pensions through previous employers or pension schemes you have set up in the past and forgotten about, it can feel like your pension arrangements are out of your hands. That isn’t a very nice feeling so consolidating your pension schemes puts the control back into your hands.

Getting the Best out of Your Pension Because the pension, investment and savings market is constantly changing, it’s a good idea to manage your pension schemes to react to changes. That way, you get a better return on your investment and are more likely to achieve the income you want after retirement. Pensions can be confusing but there are some good companies our there that can work with you in a frank and clear way to help you understand your pension situation so you can take back control and have the lifestyle you want after you retire.

Book launch by

Janet Gabriel

‘Touching Souls’

by Janet Gabriel Living in Suffolk and particularly Felixstowe has helped me to see the beauty that surrounds us in this world. We often have the most beautiful skyscapes like pieces of abstract art over the rolling sea. Our town is small and friendly and the home of some wonderful souls. Most days I walk in the country side or by the shore with my dog, taking in the fresh air and feeling blessed to live here but more importantly to be alive.

The sense of community and care for the town has always touched my heart.

Being seriously ill myself gave me the kick to finish a project that I had been putting off for many years. Once I started to write I found it addictive and very cathartic.

I wanted to reach out to people and try to help others in the world by promoting a none judgmental way of thinking.

We are all unique and have so much to offer each other. Making a positive impact on a fellow human’s life with kindness and understanding can change lives.

There is so much more to the world we live in. I encourage anyone to find their own unique gift and never put off what we can do today as for many people tomorrow never arrives.

I encourage anyone that wants to write to simply pick up that pen and start, your story may just help someone else or at the very least will help you.

My book is based on real life events gained by a roller coaster of life’s rich tapestry, from cancer, Alzheimer’s disease,

the loss of a child, adoption, relationships and a love of the outdoors and all of the wonders within nature. I believe that love really is the key to a better world.

Having worked very successfully in the corporate world for three decades, I felt the need to leave this life to concentrate on helping and inspiring others to get in touch with their inner souls.

I was Inspired myself by my belief in angels and the spirit world, I talk about life, kindness and caring, relationships, behaviour, compassion, forgiveness and developing your own gift. I hope that my book reaches many people. You do not need to have the same beliefs for this book to touch you or help in your own life in some way.

I share very personal experiences which can be taboo subjects, and try to inspire profound questions.

Ian Tucker, author of Your simple Path wrote this: “This book is a beautifully enlightening look at life and how to reconnect with your true self. The author has had a profound effect on my journey and I know her first book will touch you in the same way.

Her self-awareness and words of guidance are motivational in making us believe we can become better people and seeing how small changes can have such an impact on our lives and the lives of others. ‘Get in touch with your inner soul, the true you that is so wonderful, and help others to do the same.’

This is my first book and I hope there will be many more, I filled with gratitude for the wonderful reviews that have been given so far.

The book is available from Amazon, Waterstones and hope for it to be stocked in the local book store in Felixstowe.

Felixstowe Nature Reserve Felixstowe’s Community Nature Reserve has exciting upcoming plans!

First, we will continue with our core activity of encouraging local people to allocate as much space as possible in their gardens, allotments and window boxes for wildlife-friendly features such as pollinatorfriendly plants, bird feeders, wildlife ponds, hedgehog homes, insect lodges etc. Even before the New Year has begun, there are over 1200 local people who are actively involved in this work. If you add together all those small areas of wildlife-friendly spaces from these gardens, allotments and window boxes, you’d have an area which is the equivalent in size to 90% of a full size football pitch! 2019 will see that figure grow.

Our second plan for this year will be to develop our Citizen Science Group.

They will share more data and locally produced maps with our partners such as the Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service, the National Biodiversity Network, and our new friends among the European Citizen Science Association.

66

The Felixstowe Magazine - SPRING 2019

We also hope to announce other major developments elsewhere!

Our Citizen Science Group was founded in April 2018 and has already established itself as a source of valued data and maps on subjects such as the reported sightings of hedgehogs, bird feeding patterns, swift sightings, pond insects and much else too.

You will also see us working with more young people than ever before. That will include some very exciting projects with at least six schools in Bristol through their School Nature Reserves. Young people everywhere deserve to have a future in which wildlife is a fundamental part. Our work this year will reinforce the legacy which we hope to offer future generations who will live in our beautiful town.

More locally, we will continue to showcase the excellent work of local artists, photographers and musicians whose creativity is inspired by wildlife and community-based conservation in our gardens, allotments and window boxes.

Throughout the year, we hope to share the best of this exciting, challenging and fascinating work.

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 a 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

11.30am-1pm This group was created to ensure we tackle the issues of litter across the town to ensure that no plastic waste ends up in the sea. It is a local response to the global crisis in our oceans - we want to protect wildlife and the entire Eco-system. We want to act as a community and inspire everyone including residents, visitors, businesses, shipping lines and hauliers to take action. We will be organising litter-picks to include beaches, parks, woodland & hedgerows and grass verges.

Let’s make Felixstowe the UK’s first Litter-Free town - let’s do this together ...

WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS Thoroughly Modern Millie 25/7/19 at 7.30pm The winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie was the 2002 season’s most awarded new show on Broadway. Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, the show takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when “moderns” including a flapper named Millie Dillmount were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce, and rewriting the rules of love. Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie from Kansas who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East; her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage; and the man she actually falls in love with doesn’t have a dime to his name - or so he tells her.

To be in the draw to win a pair of tickets to see Thoroughly Modern Millie on Thursday 25th July from 7.30pm make sure you’re available to go and then answer the following question: Q: Thoroughly Modern Millie is a multi-award winning musical set in which well-known city? a) London

b) Paris

c) New York

Email your answer, full name and phone number to info@thefelixstowemagazine.com. Closing date is May 31st 2019. Winner will be notified by email. T&Cs apply. Tickets are not transferable.

FACTS

QUIZ QUESTIONS

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the spring equinox will occur on the same day as March’s Full Worm Moon. The last time that these two events landed on the same date was on March 20, 1981, though they did come close again in March 2000, separated by a span of only four hours.

1.

But that’s not all: March’s full moon will also be a supermoon, meaning that it will be slightly larger and brighter than most of the other full moons this year.

2. Which Apollo 11 astronaut did not set foot on the moon?

Wearing green has become a staple of St Patrick’s Day, but the holiday was originally associated with the colour blue. It’s thought that the shift to green happened because of Ireland’s nickname “The Emerald Isle”, the green in the Irish flag and the shamrock, or clover. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn as early as the 17th century.

Legend says that each leaf of the clover has a meaning: hope, faith, love and luck.

Your odds of finding a four-leaf clover are about 1 in 10,000.

Popular Irish toasts on St Patrick's Day include: may the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends beneath it never fall out.

Dublin has a parade that attracts hundreds of thousands of people, while in Chicago the river is dyed green for a few hours. The biggest parade is normally held in New York, while the largest celebration in the southern hemisphere is in Sydney, Australia.

There's a 70% increase in cabbage shipments during the week of St Patrick's Day. The tradition in America is to pinch anyone who isn't wearing green on St Patrick's Day. Legend has it that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, who pinch anyone they see.

Which ancestor of Noah is also the name of an oversized Champagne bottle that holds six litres?

3. According to legend, which man rode horses named Llamrei, Hengroen and Passelande?

4. Baku is the capital city of which eastern European country?

5. Which Dad’s Army actor kicked off 1971 topping the charts with ‘Grandad’?

6. ‘Bright Eyes’ by Art Garfunkel was used in the soundtrack to which 1978 animated film?

7. Which actor portrayed Samuel Johnson, writer of the first dictionary, in Blackadder the Third?

8. How many hours are there in a leap year?

9. Which countryside animal would the French refer to as ‘un hérisson’?

10. Which is taller: Westminster Abbey or St Paul’s Cathedral?
