The Tractor Boy Column - Talking with Paul Mariner Before I move on to the main topic of this months article I would just like to update you on my N-power 'What's your goal?' competition.

After sending of my video we received an email informing us I had just missed out on such a great opportunity and had come runner up. However I do still know what a great achievement that is in itself!

Now on to my interview for this month’s article. For the June issue I spoke to Ipswich Town legend, Paul Mariner, enjoy!

Dan: Who or what persuaded you to join Ipswich in 1976?

Paul: Sir Bobby was the main reason, plus the fact that the club was close to the top in all leagues they participated in, first team, reserve and youth.

Dan: How was it working under the great manager that was Sir Bobby Robson?

Paul: Sir Bobby was a fantastic coach and man-manager, he also had

superb coaching staff to help him. You always need a good team around you to be successful!

Paul: Ipswich Town FC definitely they are very close to my heart! It would be great to manage them.

Dan: I work with Kevin Beattie every Saturday lunch time and have heard a few tales, do you have any you could share?

Paul: The only story I will share, is that Kevin was the first player to meet me on my arrival at Portman Road and he has been a true friend ever since and one of the greatest English players I have ever seen.

Dan: You managed in Canada for a while, what appealed to you about working so far away from 'home'?

Paul: I had been working in America for almost 20 years so it was a natural progression for me, it was a great opportunity, one I had to take!

Dan: What has been your proudest moment to date in your sporting career?

Paul: Playing for England in the World Cup 82 was absolutely incredible I would choose that over many others. It was a great feeling to be representing my country!

Dan: Which of the teams that you have played for would you most like to manage?

Dan: What is the standard of football like in the MLS? Paul: It is difficult to say on the levels of different leagues they all stand alone, one thing is sure they will continue to produce players, it is also one of the best run leagues in the world.

America who keep him abreast of goings on on this side of the pond.

Dan: Talking of the MLS league have you uncovered any gems? Should Mick McCarthy be sending scouts over?

Paul: I would be delighted to recommend players for Mick, he has contacts in North

Dan: What are your plans for the future, do you see yourself remaining in football?

Paul: I am at present working at ESPN and I am very happy and thoroughly enjoying life in the States. It is great to still be involved in Sport!

Dan: Who would be your ultimate footballing eleven of all time and who would manage them?

Paul: It is such a difficult question I do not think I could answer it!

Louise’s dream is to help jewellery makers Beading Mad Now is a family run business, which recently opened their shop on Felixstowe Road in Ipswich.

The idea for a bead shop came when local girl, Louise Cooper turned her hobby into a business. Louise has always enjoyed making jewellery for herself, so when the opportunity came to open her own shop she jumped at the chance and Beading Mad Now was born. Louise who is dyslexic has worked hard since she left school in 2004 and is hoping that Beading Mad Now will be a great success.

The shop is like an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ for both bead makers and jewellerylovers alike, stocking everything you need to make you own jewellery, plus finished pieces if you’re looking for a gift or you just want to treat yourself!

Louise’s dream is to invite jewellery craft people and cater for their needs.

And at Beading Mad Now they cater for both the experienced jewellery maker wanting to buy large quantities, to the novice who just want one or two special beads so

2

they can make themselves a unique bracelet or necklace.

Louise is hoping to introduce beading as a hobby to others and hopes to open a workshop to show newcomers how they can make their own stunning pieces of jewellery.

So if you have never tried to make your own jewellery and would like to give it ago, maybe you want to make a special gift for somebody, or you are an experienced crafter in need of supplies be sure to visit Beading Mad Now, where they are, well, beading mad…

Beading Mad Now is open Monday to Saturday from 9am until 5pm and can be found at 170 Felixstowe Road, Ipswich or you can visit their website at www.beadingmadnow.com

Volksfest was one of the first shows to actively combine Air and Water cooled dubs in a show.

Open-air Table Tennis Councillor Kay Yule came up with the idea of having a concrete table tennis table on Kingston Field in Woodbridge for people to enjoy this exciting sport in the open air.

Woodbridge Town Council agreed that an outdoor table tennis table would be another excellent feature on the wellknown Kingston Field open space and play area in the Town. Funding was sought from the Outdoor Playing Space Scheme held by Suffolk Coastal District Council, and the table was officially unveiled by the Town Mayor, Councillor Charles Notcutt, Councillor Yule (pictured above).

Be a hero in the skies You can get involved by pledging your support and signing up to be a ‘Superhero in the skies’ at the Team EACH Skydive on Saturday 22nd June at Ellough Airfield in Beccles.

From two miles high and securely harnessed to your skydiving instructor, you can experience the ultimate ‘rush’ as you exit the aircraft, fly through the skies and freefall for the first mile before your instructor opens the parachute. You could dress up as a superhero, all budding Superman impersonators are welcome!

If you, your friends, family or work colleagues have always wondered what it is like to do a skydive please pledge to be a hero and help raise funds for these vital local services. For more information about the Team EACH day and our other fundraising activities please contact them on 01473 276196.

Children's hospices care for and support children who are not expected to reach adulthood, and their families. This year we will be raising awareness of how whole families are affected and how services such as EACH support brothers and sisters through special groups and activities.

International Polo – Trinity Park, Saturday 29th June

Beginners’ guide to Polo The Hopkins International Polo in Trinity Park is a great family day out. Don’t be put off going by thinking it is elitist. It’s, fast and furious to see horses moving at about 35 miles per hour towards the ball, and it is glamorous and if you’ve never been before, now is the time to go.

The Hopkins International Polo at Trinity Park features teams from England and South America coming head to head in a medium goal match that will be the highlight of the event on Saturday 29th June. East Anglia’s largest property developer Hopkins Homes have sponsored the event for the first time this year, celebrating 20 years of building award-winning homes, and wanting to help build the family day out as an asset for the area.

A young Ipswich versus Newmarket team and the Patrons match will take place in the morning. Polo in the UK is a short season from May to September but it is one sport where amateurs can play along side the professionals.

Although polo has become more visible in Britain during the last decade, this is only the second time an international has been held in the county. It is ratified by the Hurlingham Polo Association, the sport’s governing body, so high standards are assured. The 300 x160 yard pitch is created from what is the Nacton car park, as it is the biggest green field area on the site, so all utilities, structures, fencing and catering must be brought in to create a vibrant environment ready for the fast and furious games.

The Suffolk Agricultural Association’s Business Development Committee behind it all agree you might need a good five figure sum to afford to play polo, but you can enjoy the day in several ways according to your budget.

It is £5 to walk in and watch, £25 per car - find a friend with the biggest and fill it with family and friends and the picnic - or if you are celebrating or would like your own private space right by the pitch, then a ringside gazebo with table and chairs for 10, forward parking and gazebo passes with access to the Members area and Members Grandstand seating costs £500 and will give you a real piece of the action.

Picnics can be ordered in advance, there is a fully stocked bar and this year everyone is invited into the Members’ enclosure following play to keep the polo party spirit alive from 5-7pm with The Flaming Cheeks band.

seen the pictures of delicious looking canapés, smoked salmon and salad dishes at the big polo tournaments – think about joining together with friends, enjoy the great British summer and pack up a picnic?

Do remember to pack food that travels well and doesn’t require hours of chilling. Make it look attractive on the plate and easy to eat.

It could be the chance to say hello to the polo players. Just remember not too be too distracting, these are athletes who need to get back to work.

If you are cooking for yourself remember easy to eat food is ideal, pack a selection of delicious savoury quiches and tarts cut into wedges, fresh meats, cold chicken and cheeses, locally produced breads and salads all cut up and easy to eat with a fork. A few punnets of locally grown and in season English strawberries with some sugar to dip them, or some small gooey meringues will finish the meal off in style. A glass of chilled white wine is a necessity for a good picnic and drinks can be found among the catering stalls selling a range of hot and cold foods and beverages. Trinity Park has a stocked bar with chilled beverages as well as hot coffee.

If you are not being entertained in the wonderful Bruisyard Hall VIP Hospitality Tent– and we’ve

Here’s a couple of things to know before you go Half-time, divot stamping - is a long standing tradition at half-time. Spectators wander all over the field stomping down the torn up turf. It's fun and you can meet great people just wandering the field. Even at high goal tournaments the players often walk divots to limber at the half.

Runners take to the streets After four extremely successful races, the fifth Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon has been launched with the promise of it being even bigger and better than previous years.

This year the Half Marathon is taking place on Sunday 22nd September and the race will start and finish in Christchurch Park, Ipswich.

Over 1,300 runners ran the 2012 race and the organisers are delighted that the event is continuing to grow in popularity year on year, with entries coming in fast for the 2013 race.

This race is again sponsored by leading chartered accountants and business advisors, Larking Gowen, and is organised jointly

by Ipswich Borough Council and Ipswich Jaffa Running Club. Set up to build a legacy around the London 2012 Olympics, the race has now become one of Ipswich’s key events and is firmly established in the autumn racing calendar.

The Half Marathon provides the entrants with a wonderful opportunity to raise monies for local charities and this year the race is supporting two local charities, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and St Elisabeth Hospice.

The route has been altered and the new two-lap course will start and finish in Christchurch Park. The undulating course will run through local communities and Ipswich town centre, with numerous opportunities along the route for spectators to cheer the runners on.

For those not keen on the 13.1 mile challenge, there is a 4K Family Fun Run, starting at 9.15am, open to all ages. This will take place within Christchurch Park, making it an ideal course for youngsters to enter. However, any child entering under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult. There will be a memento for all finishers.

For more information on the half marathon and the fun run and to enter online visit www.ipswichhalfmarathon.co.uk.

Naked Sheep – Just one of the attractions at farm Flaming June? Let’s hope so.

Down at Baylham House Farm they will be prepared. Sheep can easily get heat stressed if the weather turns warm and they are still carrying their winter fleece.

So shearing is very much part of the annual cycle for sheep maintenance.

And because there is so much you can do with wool, Baylham celebrates shearing with the Festival of the Naked Sheep.

On Sunday 2nd June, not only will the sheep be sheared, but also there will be spinners, weavers and felters all demonstrating their skills and anyone who wants to try their hand can have a go. Visitors will be able to get up close and watch the shearing process or perhaps help to roll a fleece.

There will be demonstrations of other crafts - such as basket weaving - a bunny barn, face painting and many other stallholders.

The fabulous Baylham BBQ will be up and running, with homemade burgers and sausages, wine and local

beer. Usual admission prices apply.

Throughout June the farm’s usual friendly residents will be ready

and waiting to greet the visitors as well as this year’s kids and piglets.

For a great day out, in the lovely Suffolk countryside, visit Baylham House Farm.

The café is open daily for light lunches or afternoon tea, but there are plenty of places around the farm to enjoy your own picnic.

Open Tuesday to Sunday and Bank Holidays, 10am until 5pm.

For more details visit Baylham Farm on Facebook, the website www.baylham-house-farm.co.uk or phone 01473 830264.

Teddy Bear’s Picnic If you go down to Christchurch Park on Friday 7th June you're sure of a big surprise!

In celebration of International Children's Day there will be a Teddy Bears' Picnic between midday and 2pm to raise money and awareness for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund).

This will be a magical picnic for children and adults alike. There will be music, story telling, craft activities, face painting, competitions, yummy homemade edibles and much more.

International Children's Day is celebrated all over the world on 1st June, aiming to encourage tolerance and understanding between children and promote child welfare.

The event will be a great opportunity for children to have fun and learn about children around the world. There’s enough food in the world for all children to have enough to eat; yet children are still going to bed hungry.

UNICEF is the global leader in child nutrition. They are saving and transforming children’s lives every day. Nutritious food is essential for children to grow up healthy and UNICEF believes every child should get the food they need to survive and thrive.

UNICEF receives no funding from the UN budget so relies entirely on voluntary donations to fund their vital work for children. By being part of this Teddy Bears' Picnic you can help make sure that every child has enough food to eat.

Bring a teddy (or 10), a picnic and a rug and join in this fun packed event. You never know you might even be able to break a record for the biggest teddy bears picnic!

Suffolk Dog Day

The Suffolk Dog Day returns for the sixth successive year on Sunday 28th July and once again Lord and Lady Tollemache are kindly opening their stunning grounds and gardens at Helmingham Hall for the event that benefits the work of The Suffolk Foundation.

Doggytude – not to be outdone by any other musical event – is a dedicated bandstand with a packed programme of music from Suffolk’s home-grown musicians and singersongwriters bringing you their own unique sounds – folk, rock, blues and everything in between!

So much more than an average dog show, the action packed day celebrates every aspect of the role that our canine friends play in our lives and shows just what intelligent and clever creatures they are. Try your dog in the “On the Scent” agility ring, in the Gun Dog Scurry or Doglympics, which was too successful to put away at the end of 2012 and its legacy lives on!

Ticket prices will be held at 2011 prices with reduced entry for tickets bought in advance at £6 for adults, £4 for children and concessions and £16 for a family ticket giving entry to two adults and two children. Registration for dog classes is £3 per class and car parking is free.

Ipswich Transport Museum has won Heritage Lottery Fund support to restore historic East Anglian horse-drawn tramcar.

The Ipswich Transport Museum has received £49,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) towards the restoration of a horse drawn tramcar dating from the 1880s. The tram was used for a short period in Bradford before

operating in Cambridge as No.7 from 1894 until 1914. The body of the tram spent over 95 years as a workshop extension to a bungalow, and is believed to be the last surviving East Anglian horse tram. Over a five-year period visitors to the Museum, at the Old Trolleybus Depot in Ipswich, will be able to view progress of the restoration, as the volunteers work to restore the remains of the tramcar to full working order.

Once complete the restoration will enable visitors to the Museum to experience local public transport from the horse tram era, through the times of electric trams and trolleybuses to the motor buses of today.

Ipswich Transport Museum is a volunteer run organisation that aims to preserve and present to the public the transport and engineering heritage of Ipswich and the immediate area. Commenting on the award, Chairman, Tony King, said, “We are delighted to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, and are confident that this restoration will enhance the visitor experience at the Museum.”

• Full details of museum opening times and prices are on the museum's website - www.ipswichtransportmuseum.co.uk

Students get goodies as well as goals

Students attending the ITFC Charitable Trust’s Going for Goals programme have been given a reward for all of their hard work kindly donated by The East of England Cooperative Society.

Goodie bags, containing stickers, a giant ITFC poster, chocolate and water bottles were presented to the children at the end of their six-week course.

During the six weeks, the students brushed up their skills, in Math’s, Literacy and ITC using the draw of football as an incentive.

As part of their course, the students took part in mock ‘Press Conferences’ each playing the part of a new player, a manager and a chairman. Many of us would find it quite daunting to be on a podium having questions fired at you by your friends, but the students proved they were no pushovers.

They also proved to be very adept shoppers. During a visit to the Club shop they had to find a number items and list them in order of price; demonstrating to them that we use “tables” in all walks of life and not just in deciding who is going to be promoted or relegated from the football leagues!

All of Children enjoyed the tour of the Club’s facilities, the dressing rooms seems to be the favourite place on the tour, especially set up before a match. During the tour, they took photos and wrote a report on what they had seen, not only that, the students then turned them into a DVD. Neil Reader the Going for Goals project coordinator said, “These young people should be applauded for their commitment to our Going for Goals programme; after a hard day at school, it’s not that easy to take part in a further two hours of learning.”

ITFC Charitable Trust would like to thank Christian Bone of The East of England Cooperative Society and also Wesley Ford, Manager of Whitton Co-op for generously supplying the goodie bags.

Picnic time on Sailing Barge Victor After what has seemed an endless winter, guests have taken advantage of the sunshine to bring a picnic on sailing barge Victor and enjoy a cruise down the River Orwell in all its early summer glory.

Picnics are a new thing this year and are proving very popular with Victor’s guests. Rather than sit on the riverside watching the sailing barge and other boats glide past, guests are now enjoying a different perspective.

For those interested in the history of barges and Victor in particular, some interesting new information has come to light provided by Brian Warner of Ipswich. Victor was built in Dock End Yard in Ipswich in 1895 by Horace Shrubsall who then relocated his yard to Limehouse in London in 1896. The early owners may be familiar to families amongst the readers of Ipswich24 and the current owners of the sailing barge would love to hear from you if you remember any of the following people: (Owner) Horace Shrubsall, 43 East India Rd, Limehouse. - Source Merchantile Navy List 1896 (Owner) Edward Alfred Hibbs, Brightlingsea Essex. - Source Merchatile Navy Lists 1899, 1904, 1907, 1911, 1913 & 1914.

Company of Four set Britten Dances sail on latest production The Company of Four present Anything Goes by arrangement with Musicscope and Stage Musicals Limited of New York at The Riverside Theatre, Woodbridge from Tuesday 2nd until Saturday 6th July.

Woodbridge based The Company of Four are busy rehearsing for their forthcoming production of Anything Goes – a fantastic musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The original book was a collaborative effort by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, heavily revised by the team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The story concerns madcap antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London.

Billy Crocker, a young love-sick Wall Street broker, stows away on the S.S. American, in hopes of winning the heart of his beloved Hope Harcourt. His boss, Yale graduate Elisha J. Whitney, is also on board. He plans to relax before making an important business deal in England. Hope is on her way to England to be married to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, a stuffy, hapless British nobleman. Also on the boat are "Moonface" Martin, a second-rate gangster on the lam labeled "Public Enemy 13," and his friend Erma; the two have disguised themselves as a minister and a missionary, respectively, after stranding the ship's real chaplain back at the port. They also, mistakenly, left behind their leader, "Snake Eyes" Johnson, Public Enemy number one.

On board, Crocker runs into his friend, Reno Sweeney, an evangelizing nightclub singer, who resolves to help Billy win over Hope, to the dismay of Hope's mother, Mrs. Harcourt (though she doesn't know about the original plan), who insists she marry Evelyn. Billy simultaneously learns the true identities of Moonface and Erma, and in exchange for his silence, they join the plot to break up Hope and Evelyn. However, as Billy doesn't have a ticket or passport, Erma and Moonface let him have Snake Eyes Johnson's, without telling him to whom it belongs. But the ship’s crew figure out that Public Enemy number one is on board, and Billy has to take on a number of hilarious disguises to hide from them which at first makes Hope angry with him. As the show progresses, Hope, Evelyn, Billy, Reno, Elisha, Mrs. Harcourt, Erma, and Moonface all end up in a variety of compromising positions with members of the opposite sex, with Reno seducing Evelyn Oakleigh, originally just to get seen by Hope or Mrs. Harcourt so they would reject him, but eventually she wins him over for real and they even get married. Hope and Billy also get married, Mrs. Harcourt (divorced) and Mr. Whitney get married, and Moonface Martin receives a notice on board that the government considers him "harmless."

Presented by DanceEast Britten Dances is a centenary celebration through dance of one of Suffolk’s greatest gifts to the world, the composer Benjamin Britten, taking place at the festival he founded and bringing together two of the world’s great dance companies.

This very special programme features new works inspired by Britten from choreographers Kim Brandstrup (music: Britten Variations on a theme of Frank Bridge), who creates a new work

for The Royal Ballet, and Ashley Page (music: Britten Young Apollo & Purcell arr. Britten Chacony) and Cameron McMillan (music: Larry Goves new work after Britten’s Nocturnal), who create works for Royal Ballet Flanders.

Co-commissioned for the Britten centenary by DanceEast and Aldeburgh Music, The Royal Ballet, and Royal Ballet Flanders Britten Dances will be at Snape Maltings Concert Hall on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st June. To book tickets contact the Box Office on 01728687110.

Directed by David Caddick with Musical Direction by Jo King and Choreography

by Lena Hoggarth the company is lucky to have an extremely talented production team. Lena Hoggarth, Choreographer says, “I have worked with David on a number of Company of Four Shows and this one has certainly been a challenge. The cast although very small at just 22 really do the show justice and have worked extremely hard so far in rehearsals. There is a 6 ? minute very fast tap routine at the end of the Act one and with a group of dancers at varying levels it was tough ask but to look at them dance the routine now as a team and in time with each other makes all of the hard work worth it” Anything Goes is a fantastic and fast paced show – don’t miss out - climb aboard the S.S. American and let the Company of Four whisk you back to the 1930’s where you can enjoy the music and lyrics of Cole Porter, tap along with the dancing, laugh and empathise with the characters throughout. The Company tends to sell out their summer shows early so don’t delay call the Riverside Theatre today to book tickets on 01394 382174 (open daily from 10am – 8pm)

Lucy takes time off from studies to feed street children in Africa A young student from Felixstowe has pledged to take a break from her schooling to help street children in Africa.

Lucy Earthroll, despite being just 16, has heard about the plight of young children in some of the remotest parts of Africa (Woe, Ghana) and has signed up with a charity to fly over there this November to help to feed and teach them.

One of her fundraising events is a Clairvoyant Night with one of Suffolk’s most popular spiritualist mediums, Fiona Nicholls. The event is being held at Kesgrave High School, Ipswich on Tuesday 18th June from 7pm and tickets are just £10 with all proceeds going to help the children of Ghana.

Tickets are only available in advance by calling 01394 283669.

Future events include an 80’s Disco for Year 11’s and a Barn Dance too, plus she is planning to take part in the Orwell Cycle this year and is looking for sponsors.

For more details go to www.justgiving.com/LucyEarthroll Lucy needs to raise £2,250 a small portion of which will help young people here in Suffolk via the ITFC Charitable Trust who are organising the trip, the rest will go directly to the African charity who create sustainable projects to support some of the poorest parts of West Africa

Just a few small changes can make all the difference to how your room feels, and needn’t put a huge strain on your bank account!

If you are looking for something a little different from what you see in all the big department stores come and take a look at Delvaux in Felixstowe. You will find a fantastic range of canvas artwork or how about a painted ceramic tile for that continental look? Perhaps an unusual clock would make a feature on a bare wall.

So, if you want to make some changes to your home, a trip to Delvaux in Felixstowe is definitely worthwhile.

out. According to a government website the minimum car parking space width is 2.4 metres. That’s around 7’ 6” – and is simply not wide enough.

So instead of forcing us into contortions, arguments over who hit who’s door and certain drivers taking six hours to park, lose a couple of spaces and make the rest wider. Failing that, provide can openers.

On The Mend Never does a huge amount of time go by without at least one member of my family requiring the services of the NHS. On this particular occasion it was my wife. Her nose was in need of attention as a result of two of our children, in years gone, throwing their heads back and breaking it. That and she’d worn it out by talking down it to me for twenty five years. For the avoidance of any doubt that last sentence is a lie. She says. Anyway, it meant another dose of anaesthetic and a member of the family at the mercy of the Heath Road Hospital.

In the past our experience of the NHS has been, in truth, a little hit and miss. Lost documents, poor attitudes, the wrong size tube etc. and I have been vocal in my annoyance.

I want to be proud of the NHS. Yes I pay for it, but I embrace the concept of how healthcare works in this country – it is something that makes us stand out. Of late though, our local hospitals have not fared too well.

Reports citing failings here and there have dogged the organisation, so I was not looking forward to our latest visit.

Well, I wish to place on record how things seemed to have changed – at least at the Ipswich Hospital. Courtesy, pleasantness, friendliness, cleanliness, efficiency and professionalism the like of which I have not seen before in such quantities. Credit where it is due – and it is most certainly due to those responsible for the welcome and many improvements at the Ipswich Hospital.

Park & Wide It has occurred to me over the years that car park designers don’t own cars.

My current vehicle is not large or fat or ‘more suitable on a farm’ (you know the type of vehicle I mean). Yet not a week goes by without my having to perform a physical routine Harry Houdini would be proud of trying to get out of my smaller than average car. Why? Because car park designers fail to appreciate cars have doors that have to be opened in order for us to get

Painting The Town I spent a pleasant afternoon this month at the Ipswich Holi Festival of Colour. This is basically an event where you can throw paint over someone and not get punched.

It is the first of an annual event at Holywells Park and next year I will look forward to going again – without my expensive non-paint proof camera however.

Red White & Blue Since we last spoke, emotional goodbyes have flowed in the direction of one of life’s giants. A Brit, famous throughout the world, with a reputation as big as any. Tough talking with a hard exterior, a leader who stood by their beliefs and fought for them, regardless of the opposition, until victory eventually arrived. A person who collected enemies and devoted admirers in almost equal amounts – someone you either loved or you hated with no middle ground. To many an inspiration, a person who saw what was wrong and changed it. A person that leaves a lasting legacy that history will not forget.

But… to whom do I refer?

Three time election winner, former Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher?

Arguably the greatest football manager ever, Manchester United’s Sir Alex Ferguson?

Both.

See you in July.

Win a copy of Exciting New Thriller – Heavens Fire

Heavens Fire is an exciting new thriller by Kizzi Nkwocha.

Three thousand years ago one of the earliest scriptures ever recorded, the Book of Enoch, Noah’s great-grandfather, was written; 365 of the scriptures contained therein had been discovered, but one was missing. This lost parchment was purported to provide startling details of encounters with benevolent alien beings called The Watchers – information that could challenge and change traditional perceptions of mankind and the world.

Oxford University professor of theology and languages, Donald Bryan, finds himself propelled from his university safe haven into the world of espionage, greed and corruption, accompanied on his roller-coaster adventure by National Security Agency agent Fae Winters, in a puzzle-solving, heart-stopping race against time to find the lost scripture before its secrets fall into the hands of fanatical religious groups.

Everything you think you know about the world and its history, including the true identity of Christ and the secret inner workings of the US Government and influential worldwide corporations, will be thrust into doubt. Heavens Fire raises a crucial question: is there any truth?

And the shocking answer is: those who know don’t care; and those who care don’t know.

Nigerian-born married father Kizzi Nkwocha made his mark in the UK initially working for 12 years as a newspaper and magazine journalist, and at the age of 21 became the youngest newspaper editor for the Recorder Group. He subsequently worked as the programming editor for Emap’s Broadcast magazine, acted as guest editor for the international celebrity magazine, Society, and finished his journalistic career as a News of the World reporter.

Now a widely respected and successful media consultant and public relations specialist, who has represented a diverse range of clients,

18

including the King of Uganda, the mistresses of President Clinton, Pakistani cricket captain Wasim Akram, campaign group Jubilee 2000, and the Vass Foundation, an international charitable organisation that focuses on alleviating the problems of AIDS and malaria in the Third World, he was voted one of the hundred most influential black people in the UK. Nkwocha has also become a well-known face in both radio and television, having been the focus of a Channel 4 documentary on publicity and having hosted his own talk show, London Line, on Sky, interviewing such names as Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali. He has also copresented a weekly current affairs programme in Spain on Radio Onda Cero International.

— COMPETITION — Ipswich24 has got a copy of Heavens Fire by Kizzi Nkwocha to give away to a lucky reader.

Just send your answer to the following question, along with your name, address and a contact telephone number to: Heavens Fire Competition, Ipswich24, Po Box 774, Ipswich, IP1 9FW or you can enter online at www.ipswich24.co.uk. The closing date for entries is Friday 29th June 2013.

Award winning band come to Ipswich Suffolk based promoters Peppery are once again bringing world class music to East Anglia.

French band Lo’Jo, recent winners of the coveted Songlines Magazine “Best Group” award for 2013, will be at the Jerwood Dance House, Ipswich waterfront on Sunday 2nd June.

Their sound is something you’re unlikely to hear anywhere else on the planet or forget in a long, long time. The music is poetic and trancelike, a blend of multicultural inspiration including Arabic, Berber, gypsy, French chanson, dub, funky beats, African and pop. Lo’Jo weave these diverse world influences with a timelessly Gallic theatricality that the likes of Edith Piaf and Jean Renoir would have recognised. Collaborators with

Tinariwen on the first Festival In The Desert 2001, they were recently described by The Independent as “one of the finest live bands on the planet”.

Based in Angers in the Loire Valley, where they live communally in a rambling old farmhouse, Lo’Jo are singer, poet and figurehead Denis

Pean, classically trained violinist Richard Bourreau, bassist Kham Meslien, drummer Baptiste Brondy and Berber sister singers Yamina and Nadia Nid El Mourid.

Lo’Jo (with support Kiss The

Mistress) will be at Jerwood Dance House, Ipswich on Sunday 2nd June at 7.30pm.

Win new Undertones CD Ireland’s finest, The Undertones, mark the 35th anniversary of their classic debut single Teenage Kicks with the release of ‘An Introduction to The Undertones’, a 22 track CD plus two hour DVD featuring the superb documentary Teenage Kicks: The Story Of The Undertones, in which legendary DJ John Peel travels to Derry to meet the band almost three decades after he helped to kick start their career.

Released 3rd June by Salvo, as part of their acclaimed Sound and Vision range, this superbly packaged release features 22 pop fizz bombs, and includes seven promo videos plus rare live performance footage from 1978 – 1983 including TV performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test and The Tube.

Turning up like badly behaved, younger siblings during the punk and ‘new wave’ boom of 19771978, Derry's The Undertones always had youth on their side. Anyone who remembers seeing their first foray onto the nation's screens on TOTP remembers a spotty bunch of teenagers in school jumpers and Docs. The line up featured the O’Neill brothers – John and Damian on guitars, Michael Bradley on bass, Billy Doherty on drums, and Feargal Sharkey on vocals.

Like countless others, punk rock fired their imagination, and gave shape and direction to their material. A love of Garage bands helped formulate their predilection for songs with strong chorus hooks, keeping songs short, economical and dynamic. Their classic debut single Teenage Kicks released in 1978 on the Good Vibrations

label in Belfast excited influential Radio One DJ John Peel so much that he announced it to be his ‘favourite record of all time’, and played the single twice in a row.

The Undertones shared a musical commonality with The Ramones in the USA and The Buzzcocks in England, wherein their songs were distilled to an addictive core, but still finding time for lyrical invention and musical flair.

It was the pop savvy of main songwriter John O'Neill along with his brother Damian and bass player Michael Bradley that created these paeans to working class teenage life. The subject matter didn't revolve around nihilism, but rather young love/lust, frustration and all things adolescent.

Signing to The Ramones label, Sire, the bands eponymous debut album released in 1979 and its follow-up, Hypnotised (1980) showed that Teenage Kicks was no mere fluke. On Hypnotised, the band even spoofed label mates Talking Heads second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food with the song More Songs about Chocolate and Girls, showing that there was a knowing wit at work amongst the addictive choruses and chunky riffing. The band earned a reputation as a ‘singles’ act par excellence, with cracking 45s such as Jimmy Jimmy (1979), Here Comes The Summer (1979), You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It) (1979), and My Perfect Cousin (1980) all included here on this excellent ‘Introduction’ to the band.

Teenage Kicks: The Story Of The Undertones, a fascinating one hour documentary charting the

It’s summer.... so it’s Latitude Latitude, the UK’s favourite multi-arts festival and winner of the 2012 Best Family Festival Award, recently announced that Bloc Party, Kraftwerk 3-D and Foals will headline this year’s event.

Latitude is now pleased to confirm the next wave of performers set to appear across the weekend from 18th – 21st July 2013.

Added to Latitude’s exclusive festival performances will be Grizzly Bear whose captivating chamber rock has made the Brooklyn four-piece one of the most influential acts in alternative music today, devastatingly honest American musician John Grant who will be airing songs from Pale Green Ghosts the follow-up to his award-winning debut album, while José González fronted indie-folk trio Junip will also make a rare appearance performing their new material. Grammy-nominated ‘twanging guitar man’ Duane Eddy will treat crowds to classic sounds of the ‘50’s, ‘60’s and ‘70’s rock ‘n’ roll era and Domino signed Austra bring their art-pop to Latitude from Toronto, debuting material from their forthcoming LP Olympia.

Suffolk Singers Summer Concerts After such a long, dreary spell of weather, few things can lift the spirits as surely as a concert of engaging and popular music. Suffolk Singers are once again bringing their unique blend of popular choral works to Sutton Church on Saturday 29th June at 7.30pm.

Claire Weston, the Music Director of the choir, has once again selected an eclectic blend of familiar works in fresh arrangements together with pieces new to the choir repertoire. Amongst items to be performed will be works by Whitacre, Grainger and Elgar together with popular classics, such as A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and In the Mood.

The other summer concert date is Saturday 6th July where the same programme will be performed at Burgate, in north Suffolk. Full details can be found on the website www.suffolksingers.co.uk.

Winners of the Whiteman Cup for adult choirs at last year’s Suffolk Festival, Suffolk Singers have recently returned from a highly successful tour to Cork in Ireland where they gave two concerts, one of which was in the Church of Ireland Cathedral in the city. This choir has a growing reputation, sure to be enhanced during their summer concert season.

Lions Club launch appeal for unwanted spectacles

We want your old specs!

“Don't throw away your old spectacles” is the plea from the Lions Club of Ipswich.

Many people have pairs of old glasses laying in draws in their home, now, thanks to the Lions Club of Ipswich, there’s a use for them.

The Club is collecting pairs of spectacles to send to countries overseas where people who are less fortunate than ourselves will make use of them. And, with the help of many local opticians, who have agreed to have collection bins in their premises, the Lions are hoping to be able to send many boxes of glasses out to the

• Lion Margaret Conway with the first batch of spectacles

Lions’ Sight Projects overseas.

The Specs Factory on Woodbridge Road was one of the first opticians to sign up to have a collection box. Manager Alan Flint said, “We are very pleased to be involved in such a worth while project. We get many pairs of used glasses left with us when people collect their new ones and it’s great to know that these old spectacles are going to go somewhere where they will be needed”

Neil Burdon of the Specs Factory, Woodbridge Road East, Ipswich along with Manager Alan Flint with Lions President Terry Hunt and some members of Ipswich Lions Club with one of the collection bins placed in the Specs Factory, Ipswich.

Once the collection bins are full the glasses will then be sent off to a central collection point, where they will be checked, cleaned and restored before being sent off to many countries overseas including Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea.

The Lions Clubs have run many sight projects over the years, restoring sight to some people as well as enabling many more to have improved vision. Your old spectacles can help!

So, if you are a spectacle wearer and you have a few old pairs laying about gathering dust, do your bit and drop them into one of the collection bins in the Ipswich Area.

Collection bins can be found at Specs Factory, Woodbridge Road East, Kersey's Opticians, 22 Tacket Street, Ipswich, Observatory Opticians, 8 Queen Street, Ipswich, as well as the Out Patients and the Orthopedic departments at Ipswich Hospital.

Old Hearing Aids may also be placed in the bins for recycling.

Suffolk Libraries are supporting the NHS campaign to get more people to sign up to the Organ Donor Register.

Information leaflets about organ donation and how to sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register are now available from special displays in all Suffolk Libraries. The leaflets cover issues such as frequently asked questions and religious beliefs regarding organ donation.

There are currently more than 10,000 people in the UK who need an organ transplant to save or enhance their lives and three people die every day because they don’t get the transplant they need.

Suffolk Libraries Mental Health and Wellbeing Service has organised the displays to help encourage more people to join the register or to find out more. If you are visiting your local library and want to find out more just look out for the leaflets or ask a member of staff where they are.

To find out where your local library is or what hours it’s open visit www.suffolklibraries.co.uk or call 01473 584563. For more information about organ donation go to www.organdonation.nhs.uk

Living with Hayfever Around 7 million people in the UK suffer from hayfever.

Whilst hayfever is not usually life threatening, it is very debilitating.

Hayfever is caused by an allergic reaction to pollen. Some people are allergic to grass pollen and this means the hayfever can last from around mid-May to July. Others are allergic to tree pollen and this is prevalent from mid March to late May. People who are allergic to pollen are often allergic to dustmites, pets and mould and these can further exacerbate the symptoms namely: sneezing, runny nose, itchy bloodshot eyes, stuffy nose, itching around the face and mouth, exhaustion, sinusitis, blocked up ears and burning throat.

There are a plethora of eye drops, nasal sprays mainly based on antihistamines on the market but they all have side effects including drowsiness, headaches, difficulty in passing urine, dry mouth, blurred vision, sickness, vomiting, constipation or

diarrhoea, palpitations, high blood pressure, dizziness, confusion, depression, disturbed sleep, tremors, fits and hyperactivity in children.

Bio-Life offer Allergy UK and National Pharmacy Association approved alternatives proven to be effective in over 80% of cases. AirCleanse is a quaternium salts and essential oil based spray that neutralises and encapsulates the pollen grains. Pollen levels are at their highest at midday and again between five and six pm in the evening. The spray is recommended for use at midday and in the evening and in the sufferer’s bedroom last thing at night. Reducing he amount of time that the sufferer is exposed to the grains has the same effect as reducing the pollen count.

Summer can rot your teeth!

With summer fast approaching, many people are thinking about how they will look in a swim suit and how they can shed those pesky pounds ready for the beach by healthy eating.

However, people may not know that whilst thinking cautiously about their diets, they may be eating foods that potentially could be just as bad as sugar and fizzy drinks in terms of the damage it does to your teeth. These culprits are lesser known evils for the teeth but just as dangerous.

"Tooth wear is becoming an increasingly common dental problem," says Professor Eder, Clinical Director of London Tooth Wear Centre. "The most recent Adult Dental Health Survey suggests that over three quarters of the UK population have some form of tooth wear - and these summer treats are one of the major culprits."

The top five worst hazards for your teeth are: Pickles. A Ploughman's lunch may seem like the perfect healthy but enjoyable lunch in your local pub.

But hang fire on the chutney. The

colours not only stain your teeth, but the sugars in the chutney eat away at your teeth as fast as boiled sweets or fizzy drinks do.

Sports Drinks. With the sun beating down, exercising outside may seem like an enticing prospect.

But whilst a sports drink may give you a boost of energy, beware of the damage the glucose can do to your teeth.

Chlorine. In a bid to tone up, swimming is the perfect exercise.

However, chlorine in the water can erode enamel and cause irreparable damage. Try to keep

your mouth as closed as possible when swimming.

Tomatoes. An essential ingredient in any salad, and a refreshing low calorie snack these have extremely high acid content, and so can eat away at the enamel on your teeth.

Try to limit your intake.

Fruit Juice. We see these are a healthy alternative to any fizzy drink and are an essential ingredient to any cocktail. But, although packed full of vitamins, the high level of fructose means your teeth are in real jeopardy.

Chakiras — a perfect beauty haven Chakiras Beauty is a brand new beauty salon located on Woodbridge Road, Ipswich.

Sam Baker, the owner and manager, together with her husband Charlie took over an empty shop unit in mid 2012. They then set about a complete transformation turning what used to be a car radio shop into a relaxing and calm beauty haven.

Chakiras Beauty is named after the couple’s two daughters by combining their names Charlise and Keira, and the salon is quickly becoming the place in Ipswich to be pampered.

“We have performed a complete refurbishment to a bespoke layout that accommodates the Chakiras Beauty vision.”

Says Sam. “Our aim from when we opened in December 2012 was to create a haven for relaxation, skin rejuvenation, pampering and beauty maintenance within private air conditioned rooms using

only the best products on the market administered by experienced and fully trained staff. We aim to leave you feeling refreshed, de-stressed and looking fabulous.”

Sam trained at Champneys, one of the best international colleges in the health and beauty Industry, and she has been working as a fully qualified Beauty Therapist since 1991. Since then Sam has furthered her knowledge a great deal through attending many courses and colleges around the country so you can be confident that your beauty treatments are administered in the most professional manner giving you expert results.

So, if you’re looking for a spray tan or waxing treatments or you just want some ‘me’ time and be pampered with one of the many treatments on offer then Chakiras Beauty is the place to go.
