Welcome to the March edition of The Felixstowe Magazine Isn’t it crazy how 2015 is ticking by at a furious rate? In fact, with our very first birthday coming up next month, the past year has zipped by like a train on white hot rails!
Not only do we have the chance to really celebrate our marvelous mums on Sunday 15th March, but there a great many more celebrations to be had...Peanut Butter Lovers Day, National Pig Day (both on 1st March), Girl Scout Day (12th March), Ear Muff Day (13th March) and of course, St Patrick’s Day (17th March). Now, we’re not usually a political or serious bunch at all, but we thought we’d host a meeting with our local political party members, where you get the opportunity to do a bit of pre-election questioning. This hustings (official lingo for this type of get together) is open to all. You are all invited and we’ll make sure you’re kept warm with teas and coffees during the event. For more details, take a look at page 18 and give us a call or email to confirm your attendance. We look forward to seeing you there. Have a wonderful March everyone - and for all you yummy mummies, a very Happy Mother’s Day! Mandeep Birdy

Cancer Care & Information Following from Eileen’s incredible story of her fight with cancer in the October 2014 issue, we received this lovely email from Gina Cooper who tells us a bit more about the cancer support centre, founded by Dr, John Le Vay...
John Le Vay Cancer Information Centre I cannot tell you how moved I was to read Eileen’s story in The Felixstowe Magazine and especially about her appreciation of the John Le Vay Cancer Information Centre at Ipswich Hospital. The centre was the brainchild of Dr. John Le Vay, an oncologist at the Hospital following a conversation that he had with one of his patients, Ipswich Town footballer Jason Cundy who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Jason had asked if there was a central point from which he could obtain all the information he needed about his disease and its treatment. From this conversation John came up with the idea of building a purpose-built Centre to provide not only information from leaflets, specialists and access to the Internet, but also encompassing three private interview rooms for specialists and doctors to talk to their patients about their diagnoses, and talk to them about their treatment, one of these rooms would also include facilities for complementary therapy. John and Radiotherapy Manager Barbara Hercliffe contacted me in 1997 and asked for my help in setting up a charity to raise funds not only for a Centre, but also to provide a source of funding within the county for cancer patients and cancer projects in Suffolk. Cancer Campaign in Suffolk was launched in 1998 and fundraising

The Duke of Kent, John Le Vay and Jonathan Ripman who is chairman of the charity
for the Centre began. The project was finished in 2004 and opened by HRH Duke of Kent. It has now helped thousands of cancer patients. The Complementary Therapy team are very busy, sometimes using 2 of the private rooms and you can usually find one or two taking advantage of the comfortable seats and refreshments there. I ran the office from my home in Old Felixstowe for many years before we moved to an office in Hamilton Road above the café formally known as Froffee Coffee. I was helped in the office by many volunteers from Felixstowe all of whom played a part in helping to maintain the services offered by the Centre. Lesley, also from Felixstowe, joined us officially in 2007 as fundraising assistant.
Dr John Le Vay sadly passed away shortly after the Centre was opened and the facility was renamed as a memorial to him. I retired in 2008 but was able to see for myself how invaluable the service offered by the Centre is when I had my own battle against the disease last year!! by Gina Cooper

A Little History about Lent
by Rev’d. Caroline Allen
Hi, I’m Caroline the new Vicar at St Mary’s Walton and St Martin’s & St Mary’s Trimley and I would like to share with you something about Lent. On the 17th February I am sure many of you made pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. For many Christians this marks the beginning of Lent, a pivotal point in the history of the Church.
Traditionally we mark Lent by giving up something, chocolate or alcohol are quite common, but what if it could be more than that? What if Lent was the beginning of a lifetime of big heartedness? Can you imagine if everyone in Felixstowe did a small act of generosity each day during lent and what a difference it would make to our community. So what do I mean? What about sending a text to a friend saying how much you value their friendship and how you appreciate them being in your life.
are brilliant. So why not smile and say hello as you walk down the road and await the response.
Have a car-free day, think of all those people you will meet. Spend some time listening to someone… The list is endless.
Give it a go and maybe this lent could be a life changing, outward looking, justice-championing, generous opportunity. Surely anything else is second best. Do take a look at our websites: www.stmaryswalton.org.uk www.stmartinschurch.onesuffolk.net
When you buy your next coffee, why not pay for the person behind you. Or host a dinner party or invite friends round for a film and a popcorn evening. The human brain is automatically wired to be more attracted to smiling faces and there is a reason for it; smiles

War Recollections
The Asiago Plateau, WWI by Antony Pittaccio
Have you seen the film ‘Testament of Youth’? Or perhaps you have read the book? The story fills me with some emotion because my uncle, with whom I watched the battles raging in Cassino crouched behind a low wall, as mentioned in my previous article, fought in the same Battle of The Piave in WW1 to which Captain Edward Brittain was sent from France. When my uncle died some thirty years ago, my auntie was asked by the Italian Veteran Association if they could bedeck his coffin with the Italian flag. She thought it strange, but reasoned that perhaps it was normal for members of the association. Some days later,when they were sorting through his personal belongings, they discovered the reason why. My uncle had been awarded The Gold Medal for Military Valour, the highest Italian military medal. Yet, he never, ever mentioned a word about it to his family, friends, nor me.
So when I think of him, I also think of the brave young British lads who fought in the same battle, and who are very seldom mentioned. Our knowledge and ideas of WW1, seems limited to the terrible trench warfare in the muddy fields of the Western Front against the Germans. British forces also fought in the Southern Front against the Central Powers in battles that may not seem big compared with those in France, but which were perhaps the most decisive battles of WW1 because seven days after the defeat of the

Captain Edward Brittain’s grave Austrian-Hungarian army, Germany surrendered.
The film makes no reference to the Asiago Plateau, other than the death of Captain Brittain, but briefly, two British Divisions with one in reserve were positioned on the plateau, in the foothills of the Italian Alps. The Austrian – Hungarians launched a major offensive in June 1918 with the intention of surrounding the allied forces on the Piave and finally defeating them. One of their major thrusts was to be via the Asiago Plateau. The British forces on the plateau were inexperienced in that kind of warfare. Furthermore, 1500 were in hospital suffering from altitude sickness and other illnesses. They were greatly outnumbered by the attacking enemy, well experienced in mountain warfare. Inevitably, the line was breached after 24 hours of fierce fighting. All seemed lost when suddenly, as written in the diary of Fusilier Norman Gladden, a Captain Stirling appeared on the parados and called for volunteers (did not order them) to counter-attack. Electrified by his example, the men clambered up after him, and after another 24 hours of hand-to-hand fighting, regained lost ground and completely thwarted the Austrian offensive on the plateau. A fantastic, glorious feat against experienced Alpine troops. Cooks, orderlies, clerks and all other non combatants also took up arms and joined in the fight, for which it is also called ‘The Battle of the Cooks’ and also known as ‘The Battle in the Clouds.’ Sadly Captain Stirling was killed in late October when the Allies launched their final offensive against the Austrian-Hungarians.
A medal was struck to be issued to British officers. The accompanying letter read: ‘Herewith silver medal presented by Gen. Montuori, commanding 6th Army, to British Officers in commemoration of the defeat of the Austrian attack on the Asiago Plateau June 1918.” The inscription on the medal read ‘In faith brothers and in Victory.’ I can picture my uncle, whose silence spoke volumes, heartily approving that gesture towards the British band of brothers, many of whom lie there, in silence.

It’s amazing what a handful of compassionate people can create, and setting a great example is this amazing local group...
Felixstowe Opportunity Group Celebrating 25 years of Charitable Work...
It is going to be a very exciting year for the Felixstowe Opportunity Group as we celebrate our 25 year anniversary as a local charity supporting children with special needs and their families in the Felixstowe area. We are a small charity with our own premises in the grounds of Felixstowe Academy (Maidstone Road). The group was set up and is run by local parents, carers, and supporters who are passionate in providing Felixstowe with somewhere special for our families.
We have great play facilities including soft play, a secure outside play area, a specially adapted computer and a multi-sensory room as well as a coffee lounge with kitchen. We are committed to providing a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with caring staff and volunteers. It is a place to come and meet other families with children with additional needs, where the children and their siblings can play and enjoy new experiences and parents and carers can have a cuppa, a chat, and relax for a little while. Currently we have two play sessions per week, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays afternoons and parent carer sessions on alternate Tuesday afternoons.

Local Lad
9 Not to put you off the lovely sweet cookie recipe, but here’s our local lad on dentistry jitters...
Now Spit! by Dean Wales
Now, I would never dispute the importance of good dental hygiene. My mouth is no stranger to stringent flossing, being prodded with interdental brushes (and the big blue ones too – although that does feel like ramming a feather duster between my teeth – not that I’ve tried that you understand) and a 30 second gargle with Jeyes Fluid each night. Well not Jeyes Fluid exactly but the stuff the dentist insists on me using resembles it pretty closely! But please, what are hygienists all about?
It used to be the dentist that everyone was nervous about visiting. These days however my doctor-of-the-pearlywhites enters my cake hole with finesse and decorum and tickles the old fangs without me feeling a thing. Job done, no tears no tantrums. And sadly no lollipop either these days, the receptionists keeps insisting I’m too old. What?! I’m only 44 for Pete’s sake...although I do manage to wangle a ‘Brave Little Soldier’ sticker just to prove the point to my colleagues upon my return. Oh yes, respect! But the idea of visiting Cruella De Vil, I beg your pardon, I mean my hygienist fills me with genuine dread. It takes everything I have not to break out in a cold sweat (or indeed break wind) when my name is called by her dental nurse.

I peel myself from the waiting room chair – which is slightly damp by then – and reluctantly lumber up the stairs to her lair, sorry, I mean her treatment room. I enter, and there she is, breathing like Darth Vadar (or it may just be her asthma) but just a little scarier to look at. “Sit” she bellows!
I do. She cranks my chair down to the horizontal position.
She readjusts her face mask (which I’ve convinced myself at this point is made from the flesh of baby chinchillas) and she goes in, lightsaber in hand.
Then she asks the question that hygienist’s patients always dread, “Have you flossed?”
“Yes” I reply, “Err no, well yes, yes, well I did…yesterday, this morning…I mean.” “You haven’t, have you?” she snorts. “No” says I. Aaagh, definitely no lollipop now. A flossing lesson and 20 minutes later, I’m scraped, polished and feeling amazing.
What is the problem? I just don’t understand why you’re so afraid of the hygienist. You big baby you!

Felixstowe Blinds & Awnings
Enhance, Protect and Prolong the Use of Your Patio with the installation of the finest UK made patio awnings. Awnings are practical and stylish, offering protection from the suns intense heat. They keep you cool on even the hottest of summer days whilst offering shelter from those unexpected and often persistent showers. Damaging ultraviolet rays are blocked, providing optimum protection, whilst harsh light is filtered to stop the unwanted glare.
Additionally the adjoining room also benefits as the awnings stop the suns rays, all without spoiling the view as well as protecting furnishings from being bleached by the sun. Proudly British manufactured (in Suffolk) the patio awnings are designed, engineered and built to last.
The framework is corrosion resistant and highly durable. The awnings are strong and resilient, some would say over engineered, they say simply built to last. Felixstowe Blind and Awnings specialise in fitting awnings on buildings which require bespoke brackets, such as low guttered bungalows and gable end walls and can supply brackets in either powder coated or stainless steel.
Fabrics are colourfast and offer unbeatable sun protection along with being water and dirt repellent and easy to clean. The motorised operation is via a stylish remote control allowing you to effortlessly extend and retract your awning.
For re-assurance and peace of mind all the awnings are certified to stringent European quality and safety standards and are backed with a comprehensive guarantee. In addition to that they can supply a vast array of internal window coverings, for example Verticals blinds, Rollers blinds, Romans blinds, Pleated blinds (free hang or roof) ‘Intus’, ‘Perfect fit’, Metal venetians, Panel blinds and Velux. The Wooden venetian blind collection is extensive and offers ranges to suit all budgets. With the recent advances in battery technology costs have come down significantly and many of these products can now be remotely controlled from your armchair. Many of the products mentioned are within the show room at Underwood Hardware in the town centre where you may browse at your leisure.

Local Charity & Their News
BASIC Life Charity
From the initial idea in 1997, through our acceptance as a registered Charitable Trust in 2000, Felixstowe based BASIC, an independant Charitable Trust, has been able to assist many groups, organisations and individuals with financial, practical and general support. We are a ‘people’ charity and believe our mission is to support those in need and to provide assistance for those who are otherwise prevented from realising their own charitable goals. In Felixstowe March is always the month when we begin to prepare for the start of spring and the new season ahead. While the beach huts are being revamped and the amusements checked out, BASIC are also getting ready.
We have changed our stock and now have a vast range of clothes, shoes and other items more suitable to this time of year and, as usual, we think we have the cheapest items in town by a long way. So why not pop into one of our shops and get a REAL bargain! One of our strengths is that we are not ‘money-driven’ and we don’t have a ‘head office’ miles away – we are Felixstowe people and we never forget that the items we sell have been donated to us. So it is very possible to get really good items for a lot less than normal.
As local people we can also identify the needs in the communities of Felixstowe, Walton and the Trimley villages and can act quickly to assist when needs arise.
At the same time we are supportive of all the other charities in the town and often donate raffle prizes and sometimes
excess stock to them. We’re always happy to advertise their events and we know that the town has such a fantastic group of caring people working to make life better.
Last month we got together with Mandeep, founder of the Felixstowe Magazine and we all decided to hold a joint charity event. Mandeep is supporting a school in India via a Just Giving page (www.justgiving.com/EducationisFreedom) and we are also trying to raise more funds, so we have arranged a charity meal at the excellent Bombay Nite restaurant in Walton for Monday 30th March at 6.00pm.
Tickets are £25 a head and will include a full meal, games and a raffle. It’s bound to be a really fun evening so please purchase your tickets now and be sure to bring the family! See below for all details on the lovely charity dinner.

OUR CHARITY DINNER!! A sumptuous dinner, organised by The Felixstowe Magazine and The BASIC Life Charity, and hosted by the marvellous Shammy and his staff at Bombay Nite! Hullo readers! I am absolutely chuffed to bits to be able to invite you all to this lovely dinner that Graham at BASIC Life Charity and I are organising.
Many of you who read Graham’s regular update in our magazine see the amazing things he and his staff are able to do with the contribution of the generous people of Felixstowe. Seeing the united efforts of such people got me thinking about a new free school in the village of Saidpur, in India where part of my family are from. With a population of 2000 and where dirt roads wind around fields as far as the eye can see, the closest free school is miles away. And so, the Tej Rasila International School is a beacon of hope and a foothold for all the children of the area.
Where education and learning are not available to all due to proverty, this school has been built to accommodate a large number of children from the age of 5 -18, with the purpose to provide free education to any child who wishes to study. Monies raised at our charity dinner will be donated to The

Dean’s at it Again
At The Felixstowe Magazine office Dean smashed yet another world record for the most beer mats flipped one at a time in 30 seconds. The record was 30 held by another record breaker but Dean managed 35, well done to our Dean.
Record Breaker’s Cup Competition
Dean is representing Great Britain at this summer’s World Record Cup, against USA and India. On a point system for beating records. India are the favourite’s to lift the cup but Dean said “We have a strong team which includes Paddy Doyle from Birmingham who can win us the cup as long as he is on form. I can also do some damage with my own beer mat flipping.”
Dean recently smashed 3 Beer Mat Flipping world records on television and he now holds 40 world records. He celebrated 30 year’s of record breaking last year when he did a special record achievement billed as his best record ever. Dean caught a single pile of 215 beer mats which were balanced on his elbow and caught in the Back Of His Hand using the same arm. This was covered by The Felixstowe Magazine and can be seen on their facebook page. Dean who appeared on the famous, Record Breakers TV Show many times in the 1980’s and 90’s is still in contact with Co Presenter Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz Singer) and Cheryl is still supporting Dean and encouraging him with his latest records. “It is amazing how many celebrities I am still in contact with after all these years,” said Dean.

Mystery Shopper Reviewing the latest and greatest of Felixstowe, here’s our Mystery Shopper to bring you her take on the best of our town...
The Little Fabric Shop
A couple of years ago a friend at work told me about a new fabric shop opening in Felixstowe. It has taken me this long to get there, but I am glad I did. We got a warm welcome and a quick tour of the shop starting with the bargain bin at the door! There is a good selection of polycotton on one wall and quilting cotton on the other. I love quilting fabric and if I were to admit to a vice this would be it, so to see all the colours and patterns lined up was a joy to behold. The centre of the shop is filled with a lovely collection of fat quarter quilting fabric on a table and I could not resist buying some for my daughter. You will also find a good selection of sewing equipment and a lovely little dog named Queenie stationed behind the counter keeping her favourite person company. We had a chat to the owner who told us that she started two and a half years ago starting with her own sewn goods and a fabric stockpile and has been building up the business
slowly ever since. A testament to independent business – a little bit of resources and a lot of passion and patience! Did I mention the cute babushka and owl buttons?

Local Organisation
15 You know how we feel about the many wonderful charitable people in Felixstowe, so here’s another amazing team to shout about...
Realise Futures Donna
Would you like a fresh box of seasonal vegetables delivered to your door with FREE DELIVERY! Then look no further. At Growing Places, you can order a box of veg online and have the pleasure of getting is delivered to your door! Here’s Fiona Nicolls to tell us more...
Growing Places can deliver, to your door, a fresh box of locally produced vegetables and fruit. We are part of Realise Futures which is an award-winning social enterprise where people are at the heart of everything we do. It’s a real team effort at Growing Places and one of the members of that team is Donna; “I started at Growing Places in 2005 on a therapeutic placement. It has made me a lot more confident meeting different people. It feels really good to get a job and has made me feel really happy.”
Donna has started helping out in the office recently, but usually works on the team that packs the fruit and vegetables. Part of her job is to check the quality and quantity of our vegetable boxes. Donna also goes out on the delivery round making sure our customers get their orders on time, thus making Donna a bit of a ‘Jack of all trades.’
This is Donna’s first paid job and at Growing Places we are proud to give people who have been disadvantaged for whatever reason the opportunity to be able to fulfil their potential.
Don’t just take our word for it. The best advert for our business is the people who work in it. So over to you Donna… ‘If you want a box of fresh and locally produced vegetables delivered to your door, then look no further than Growing Places. It’s a great place to work! ‘Over the years my confidence has grown and I have been given the chance to try different things. It was so brilliant! Getting a job is brilliant.’ Well done to Donna, Fiona and all the staff at Realise Futures for creating such a wonderful scheme. If you’d like to know more about Growing Places, get information on where they deliver or indeed support the scheme, then see details below: www.growingplacessuffolk.co.uk 01473 831224

Local Law More news from Jackamans’ budding Solicitor...
A Day in the Life of a Trainee Solicitor
I’m really enjoying my time in the conveyancing department at our Ipswich office and I’m starting to get to grips with the wide range of matters that the team deals with on a daily basis. A lot of what we do is, of course, helping our clients to buy or sell houses but no two homes are the same and you never know what surprises each may hold in store. Whilst the vast majority of the transactions that we assist with progress without any problems, thorough searches are essential; even the most innocuous-looking house could turn out to have been constructed on potentially contaminated land, for example, which may result in the new owner having to pay out for remedying a problem that was nothing to do with them in the first place. Then there’s the risk of flooding, subsidence, action by local authorities with regards to planning permissions or building consents… we’ve seen them all. It’s this variety in the properties that we deal with that makes conveyancing such an interesting department to be working in.
I’ve also been involved in lots of other matters where clients need assistance in their current properties. Boundary
disputes, be it high hedges blocking out the light, fences deviating off the boundary line or establishing who has to maintain watercourses, can be stressful for all concerned and I’ve seen how important it is to resolve issues before neighbourly relationships break down. I have also seen how important it is to ensure that when couples purchase a house together the declaration of ownership protects everyone’s interests, including say parental contributions in the unfortunate event of separation. Every day brings something new here in the conveyancing department, and I still have lots to learn! If you are buying or selling a property, do contact our Felixstowe office at 167/171 Hamilton Road, Felixstowe, IP11 7DR or call 01394 279636. Fiona Sturgeon

Inner Wheel
International Inner Wheel day was celebrated at our first meeting of 2015.The occasion was marked by a collection of groceries which we presented to the local Salvation Army for their food bank.
Ever fancied a bit of Q&A with your local political party members or stuck on who to vote for this May?
Hustings on 21st April With Election Day coming up in May, we're hearing a lot of nonsense as well as a lot of common sense from various political folks...
A very successful and enjoyable fundraising evening was held at Broadway House on Jan 23rd.This was arranged by our overseas organiser Jackie who was raising funds for “School in a Box.” The talk was about the Thomas Coram Institute. The foundling hospital was established in 18th century to look after abandoned and destitute babies. It had the support from some well known people of the time particularly William Hogarth and Frederick Handel. An amazing £385 was raised, so well done Jackie and everyone else who helped to make the evening a success. Anita Clemence
For more details about Inner Wheel, contact Mrs A.J. Leitch (Secretary) 01394 285320 jeanleitch@btinternet.com
So, we're hosting a hustings (the lingo meaning a Q&A with all parties) where you can have the opportunity to question issues with your party, grill the opponent or indeed discuss issues you feel are important to Felixstowe and the great UK. After all, when change is needed, it's better we work it out together and make a push in the right direction together. This hustings is a great opportunity to really get to know the party members and figure out who you really want to vote for in May. So you are all welcome.
The hustings will be Tuesday 21st April at 6.30pm at St John’s Church, Orwell Road, Felixstowe, IP11 7PW.
You can just turn up, but we’d rather you confirm a seat so we can get the teabag and coffee bean numbers correct. To confirm your attendance contact: info@thefelixstowemagazine.com or call 07929 979073. If you have any questions you'd like to pose the panel of party members (that's a lot of 'Ps'!) then email those over and they can be read out to the panel. See you there!
