Living in a small village - or even better, a network of small villages like ours -is hugely rewarding. Strong community spirit creates a real feeling of togetherness. It’s heart-warming to see neighbours coming together for thebenefit of their area, as well as local groups and local charities.

Whether it’s a village event (like Hollesley Fete, turn to page 4 for our specialreport) or volunteering to help and support others (like those at the RDA) thesense of community and purpose in our small slice of Suffolk is brilliant.

Church LetterDear Friends,

You may recall that over the lastcouple of years, the C of Echurches of the peninsula havebeen undertaking a review of theirministry. We began by looking tothe future and towards the end oflast year, all the churches considered – and accepted – aproposal which we have called our2020 vision. Now begins the workof implementing that vision overthe next five years or so.

In terms of structural changes, when Rev’d Judith Andrews retires, I will takeon responsibility for Shottisham and Sutton, in addition to the five parishes Icurrently serve – Alderton, Bawdsey, Boyton, Hollesley and Ramsholt. In theshort-term, it is the intention to maintain the current pattern and frequency ofservices and other activities. Alderton and Ramsholt, Shottisham and Sutton already work closely together as pairs of parishes and it is hoped to developthis further. Hollesley will continue to be the hub or mother church; it is alreadythe venue for many activities which are open to all the surrounding villages, notjust Hollesley.

In September, a group of people from all 7 parishes will meet to consider whatactivities/projects we might undertake in the next year or two. These will thenbe presented at an open meeting, which anyone can attend, to hear about thesuggestions, make their views known and create a shortlist of three projectswhich will be considered jointly by the PCCs. Watch this space!

First, though, we want to celebrate all the good things that God has given usand encouraged us in. It is so easy to forget just how much is already happening and how involved so many people are in helping each other, whetheras a town pastor, volunteering at the prison, caring for the elderly or encouraging our children and young people – to name but a very few.

So, on Sunday 30th August, all the churches of the peninsula will join togetherat Orford church at 11am for a service of celebration and commitment. Some ofour elders – Joy, Judy & Gill from this cluster of parishes – will be commissioned to serve for a further 3 years and we will recommit ourselves toworking together as a team on the peninsula to serve God and our communities. Do join us if you can.

Wishing you every blessing,

Ruth Hatchett

Hollesley School - our last reportThis is our last report as we will be moving up to High School in September, sowe’ve decided to recap on some of our favourite trips and activities.

This year we have been verylucky to have had suchgreat experiences with theschool; we have thoroughlyenjoyed them all. One of ourfavourite trips was when weperformed outside SnapeMaltings for the AldeburghFestival. It was a greatchance to play our instruments in this amazingsetting and we also watchedthe BBC Symphony Orchestra as well as per-formances by other schools.

Another reason why we went to this event was because it was the Ten PiecesTake-over Day and we have been working on the Ten Pieces at school duringthis year. Every child in the school made pieces of art work that were shownwhile we we performed. We were also filmed and saw ourselves on the LookEast news that evening. It was a great opportunity.

Another brilliant opportunity was being able to act on stage at the Wolsey Theatre. This was the 9th year the school has performed there and each timewe have had a different topic to base our performance on. This time the themewas Mystery at the Museum. We all had lots of fun and enjoyed the experience.We would both love to have the chance to perform at the Wolsey again after weleave Hollesley School.

We have had many other opportunities during this year including taking part insports tournaments such as: cross country running at the Royal HospitalSchool; cricket; football; rounders and much more. We always have so muchfun and we try to do our best (and that is the main thing).

We are a very lucky school and we will always remember this year, our last atHollesley. Even though we won’t be at Hollesley School anymore, we will beperforming with Trumpet Club for the last time at the Alderton Fete on the 8th August. We hope you can come and watch us.

Editor’s note - the Village Voices team would like to thank Bethany andJames for their excellent articles. We’ve really enjoyed reading them.We wish everyone in Year 6 lots of luck as they move on to Farlingaye.



Ringers’ CornerAfter the excitement of May and thestriking competition things havecalmed down a bit. We will next be ringing the Mini-ring at Sutton feteon Sunday 23rd August, and hopeyou will join us and have a go.

It was a very pleasant surprise to receive a cheque from the Hollesleyfete committee towards the BellFund! Bell frames, bells and ropes always need maintenance and sometimes replacing. We also receive donations from visitingringers and the occasional peal...that's about 3 hours continuous

ringing! We’ve been asked for permission to ring one on March 12th 2016. Wewill let everyone know details when we get them.

Peter mentioned Bells and Buns last month. We look forward to bringing you aupdate on that in our next report. Don’t forget though you can come and watchand have a go any Friday from 7.30pm. Probably no buns (unless it's someone's birthday) but always a warm welcome. Do come and join us!

Hollesley Judo Club News 80 members of Hollesley Judo Club heldan annual cake sale and sponsored Judothrow, raising £1,500 for Help the Heroes.

The sponsored throw saw 6 teams throweach other continuously for 10 minutes totry and beat the previous record...and wedid! The total was 1,651 throws, whichwas brilliant. After all that effort we had afun session which was rewarded by buying cakes from the selection donatedby everyone.

There was also a raffle and cake competition, and Sue Morgan, H4H co-ordinator, brought down a stall withlots of goodies for sale. £107 was raisedby James Palmer and friends at HollesleyPrimary school who held a cake sale oftheir own to add to the total amount raised. Thank you to everyone at schoolwho donated cakes and helped to make it happen. Well done to you all!

Thanks must also go to everyone who took part and helped out, and supportedus: we raised a fantastic amount of money. A good day all round!

Bring Your Parents to Judo EveningOh, what fun we had! Mums and Dads joined their children for a fun session.They partnered their child doing all the things the children do, from cartwheels(some a bit dodgy, but there was a lot of laughter!), to throwing and holdingtechniques, followed by Judo games. It was an opportunity to take part insteadof just watching from the side lines. All the parents really enjoyed themselves,although a few admitted to being a bit stiff for the next few days! As this wassuch a success we are planning on running a parents beginners group for thosethat enjoyed it so much. Well done all of you, great sports.

Other recent events at Judo club have included gradings and competitions.Grading successes go to Matthew Palmer to 6th Mon Yellow belt, James Palmer6th Mon, Daniel Ball gained his Orange belt 7th Mon and Cameron Greengained his senior Green belt 3rd Kyu. Well done to all of you!

Boyton Film ShowIn February 1995, Alan Bookbinder,the producer of BBC's Great Journeys series, agreed to commis-sion our Empty Quarter film. Thefilm was shown on BBC2 in 1995. Excerpts of two contemporary reviews give an idea of what we did.

Radio Times:The Empty Quarter of Arabia is oneof three last wilderness areas to bemapped. Sandy Gall sets out in thesteps of Wilfred Thesiger, the greatexplorer, across sand dunes 500feet high, and the vast quicksandknown as Umm as Samim (Motherof Poison). The temperature in theshade is 50 degrees celsius and ithas not rained for 30 years. The expertise of Sandy's Bedu guidesand his trusty camel Farha are vital.

Daily Telegraph:The Empty Quarter became lessempty with the arrival of Sandy Gall, a former newsreader, off stretching hislegs accompanied by his military chum, Robin Hitchcock, who was described as‘an old Arabian hand’. Their plan was to cross the world's largest desert...

Please do come to the film show on the 26th September, where I will revealmore about the problems, subterfuge and downright treachery surrounding the expedition. The photography of this hauntingly beautiful land is outstanding.

Riding for the DisabledFrom the horse’s mouth

What a day! Now we know what all the fuss has beenabout. All the shampooing and brushing until weshone, not to mention having our hooves oiled andmanes plaited! We can tell you, as new kids on the block, we’ve been quite astounded at the attention we’ve received since our arrival here at RDA.

Oh yes, I forgot, I’m Ettey and my partner here is Puzzle. We have been giventhe dubious honour of composing this blog, a bit of a rite of passage I suppose.

Yes it was our Open Day andwe knew we were in for an exciting time when Dollypulled up in our posh carriage, from which steppedSimon Barnes and his son,to open the festivities. Youmay remember, as a journalist, he wrote an arti-cle about our activities in the6th July edition of the EastAnglian, very timely givenour current circumstances.

Thanks Ettey, it’s my turn toget a word in. So yes, our opening parade was quite stunning, filling the indoorschool to capacity. Most of us were well behaved, with the odd exception of afew who got a bit excited. Then we were treated to an exhibition as to how itshould be done. Around the corner came Mike Daniel with his magnificent black Frieslanders (swoon), with heads held high and that imperious look, but theyknew their stuff and gave a very polished demonstration. Well, I guess it issomething to aspire to.

Following on from the school activities, we all went out to the field for ponyrides and all the fun of the show. However, we ponies are still trying to understand some weird human ritual, which involved a rope and two teamspulling it from opposite ends. At one end were our carers and at the other werea very fit bunch of Royal Engineers from Rock Barracks. I mean, even when wecheated on numbers, we were on a hiding to nothing. Anyway it all ended well,with lots of that funny noise humans make when they are happy.

OK Puzzle, I’ll round off by mentioning the tremendous effort put in by us all tomake the day a resounding success. It’s a day we shall all remember and hopeto repeat, wherever we are. So, like the two Ronnies, it’s goodbye from her andgoodbye from me, until the next time.

All the best, Ettey and Puzzle Centre Tel: 01394 410014

Cateran Yomp 2015On 13th and 14th of June, myself andtwo friends Helen and Stuart, took partin the Cateran Yomp for the 2nd time.The Yomp is a challenging 54 mileroute through the Perthshire Highlandsand the real challenge is to complete itin 24hrs. Sounds ok, I hear you thinking, until you realise that most of it is uphill, over wild untouched Scotland, with bogs and forests andwilderness!

The Yomp is a fundraising event forABF The Soldiers Charity, which helpssoldiers, veterans and their families forlife, and there were over 600 entrantsin teams all up for the challenge. Westarted off at 7.15 am and reached theSpittal of Glenshee by 4.20pm, that'sthe 22 miles mark, following themountain climb with some absolutelyamazing views. The weather had decided to take a turn for the worse and was battering us with rain and wind.Not unusual for Scotland! Anyway, Stuart suffered an injury which left Helenand myself to carry the Suffolk Survivors Team on for the 2nd leg to completethe 36 miles.

On the way we walked around a beautiful tarn, through a field of inquisitivecows, had Neeps and Tatties at one of the amazing checkpoints, watched fireworks over a lake, walked through a forest disco (yes there were plenty ofthings to keep you going!) and eventually reached the 36 miles checkpoint justafter midnight. That was a total of 16 hours 52 minutes of Yomping! We bothfelt a great achievement in reaching this point, many had dropped out alongthe way through injury, we were tired but elated, and the support of everyonealong the route was amazing.

Unfortunately, we could not continue any further as we needed a 3 personteam, so the next best thing is to go back and do it again next year! The newteam is being formed and training has started already. We will do it, next year,54 miles, 24hrs, a real challenge!

If anyone would like to take part in the Cateran Yomp contact ABF The SoldiersCharity. The support is amazing, you will thoroughly enjoy your weekend andwill be supporting a worthwhile charity. We have all raised over £400 each forthe ABF, any further donations will be gratefully received, thank you.

Local Wild Plants We are surrounded by plants, andwe would be in dire trouble if theywere not here to provide our food,plus countless plant-based products,and the very oxygen we breathe.

Farm crops surround our villages,but despite that, the area is rich inwild, native plants. One is yellowvetch, which is an annual, and native to Britain. Its peaflowersshow it is related to the domesticbean and pea, and so also to gorse,broom, clovers, trefoils, medicks,acacia and some 18,000 otherspecies around the world that alsoproduce their seeds in pods.

It flowers from late May, but don’tlook for yellow flowers: at best, yellow vetch is pale cream. It is a low sprawlerwith tendrils that clutch neighbours like the common vetch. The plant is Nationally Scarce, and its stronghold is right here, on the southern Sandlingscoast. At Shingle Street it grows on vegetated shingle.

Heathland begins just outside Hollesley, and its familiar signature isheather, gorse and storm-blastedpines.

In July, lesser dodder comes intoflower. You could comb the heaths formonths and not find it, because themany scattered plants are merely thinred hairs, sprawling through theheather. I hope the poor dodderdoesn’t mind, because the books describe it as a rootless parasite. Theyalso say it is Nationally Vulnerable andin decline, but they don’t mention itsfine scent!

I have found it in only one other place,on Tunstall Common. When a seed produced by its tiny bell-shaped flowers germinates, a thread-like shoot then casts about until it finds heather. Fromthat moment, the parasitic dodder obtains 100% of its needs from its heatherhost.

Heathland WildlifeThere has been plenty going onthis spring on the wildlife front.

The highlight has been the excellent numbers of Silver-studded Blues again on LowerHollesley Common. This is aspecies specific to heathlands butwith a habit of declining wherethe habitat is not just right. Therefore, it is really pleasingthat some of our managementwork has come up trumps forthis butterfly. They need ants tocomplete their life cycle (the larvae being taken into the ant’snest and fed there as one of theirown) and Bell Heather, which is the plant that is in flower in June/July for theemerging adult butterflies to nectar on. That often means having some bareground. We are still waiting for them to move on to Sutton Common wherethere should be enough habitat for them to develop a colony.

Heathland birds have had a good year in 2015. Numbers of Woodlark, DartfordWarbler and Nightjar are high and Stonechats are on their way back after thecatastrophic decline during the harsh spring of 2013. Dartfords are probablyback to their peak numbers, about 40 pairs over the heathland complex. Theselittle beauties can have two or three broods in a year and with luck they surviveto breed themselves. Our Redstarts are holding their own and it was verypleasing that four pairs have used nest boxes this year. These boxes are necessary because there are so few natural cavities in trees these days as deadtrees get cut down and removed in the name of cleanliness.

On our sour note there have been dog attacks on the sheep on Sutton Commonthis summer. Closely controlling dogs during the breeding season and aroundlivestock has always been part of the Countryside Code. Still, people ignore thiscode. On heathland it is doubly important because the rare heathland birds(Woodlark, Dartfords and Nightjar) all breed on the ground. One day in May Isaw three people with 12 dogs, all running free, on Upper Hollesley Common. It is not all dog walkers though and those from Hollesley, especially,are very good at controlling their dogs. Thankyou!

The work at East Lane, Bawdsey, in the winter destroyed a lot of the butterflyhabitat for Wall butterflies and the only East Anglian population of Clouded Yellow. This was done by the plant moving backwards and forwards in front ofthe lagoons. Fortunately for the Yellows there I have found some emerged thisyear. There have been no Walls seen.

A fine Summer’s evening heralded the pop-up-bistro at the Shingle StreetMartello tower on Saturday 27 June. Hosts Juliet and Tim Green were ably

assisted by a strong teamof Shingle Street resi-dents in providing asuperb three-coursemeal cooked byAlex Williams.

Special cocktails were concocted for the evening, includingthe Shingletini which ingeniously contained sterilised pebbles and sea-kale! Thefunds raised are for the group working to preserve Shingle Street. Funds fromprevious events have supported the Shingle Street Bio-diversity Survey:shinglestreetsurvey.org.uk. The group may look to flood defences in the future.

Hollesley WI Editor’s NoteThe Village Voices team would like to apologise for an article mix-up that occurred last month. On pages 32 and33 of our July issue, an article written by Jenny Webbabout the Shottisham WI Hebron event was mistakenlypublished under the Hollesley WI heading. To rectify ourerror, this month you’ll find a double helping of HollesleyWI news.

JulyCongratulations and thanks to all WI cakemakers! And thank you to Chris and Carolat Hollesley Shopper for letting us haveour cake stall outside the shop and making us tea, especially as it was raining! We made £107, half of which willbe given to a local charity to be decided.Cakes were also contributed to the SuffolkShow WI catering and to the Church cakestall. The final cake challenge was for theVillage Fete on 28th June when we neededas many cakes and scones as possible.

The Suffolk Show was a great success,with the caterers busy and the display ofmarvellous work for local charities outstanding. We all felt very proud of ourmany contributions and are glad that theywill be used for good purposes.

Members have enjoyed outings to Oliver in Ipswich and to Sizewell, where wewere given an interesting tour of the power station. Trevor Osborne recalled entertainingly for us memories of our secondary education, which gave us allpleasure.

Some members took part in the Sailor's Walk from Snape to Aldeburgh, apleasurable experience - and they saw an adder! Although the Choir looks forward to its concert with Hollesley Primary School on 8th July, the plannedother concerts have regrettably been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We enjoy singing together and look forward to our next venture. The monthly playreading group and the darts team meet regularly.

Our next meeting is on 10th July at 7pm in the Village Hall. If you wish to knowmore about us, do visit our website sefwi.org.uk/institute/Hollesley.

AugustYour regular scribe, DaphneFox, is taking her annual breakand has once again asked meto step in. Fortunately, Hollesley WI has been so busyover the last few weeks thatthere is plenty to write about. Almost everyone has been involved in one way or another.

The WI stands for InspiringWomen and one inspirationthat has been eagerly taken upby about a dozen members is asuggested trip to New Yorknext autumn, taking in thesights and returning on the Queen Mary. Wow! On a smaller scale, but no lessthoroughly enjoyed was a minibus trip to Anglesey Abbey, where I am told, theroses were stunning.

The centenary event held at the Suffolk Punch Trust attended by around 80ladies from all WIs in the Havergate Group was a great success with a lightsupper served and entertainment provided by individuals from each WI represented. This included contributions from Hollesley WI Jubilee choir whohave also been very busy with a concert for a summer evening in the churchand a joint concert with Hollesley School which has become something of aregular feature.

After winning the shield in 2010 our darts squad have triumphed in the pair’s competition and returned the trophy to Hollesley. It was rather a foregone conclusion as both our teams reached the final and had to play each other, resulting in Pam and Joyce beating Gina and Julie. Although it seems a while ago now, five of us had great fun taking part in a treasure hunt at Needham Market. We didn’t win but had a really enjoyable day. It is a great way to explore and learn about a village as well as meeting other WI members.

It would not be right to finish this round up without mention of the fete and ourcontributions - manning many of the stalls, baking cakes and serving the refreshments. Takings from the cake stall and refreshments alone amounted toover £280. A fantastic effort by all concerned.

Looking to the future, we await Rosemary’s garden party, held each July, a talkon the maritime history of Woodbridge and a circular nature walk in Snape fortasters. Daphne will be back next month, hopefully rested and ready to take upher pen again. Until next year?

Dog Poo!How many times have you walked passed a pileof dog poo and thought…why didn’t the dog’sowner pick it up? Were they too busy looking attheir phone or talking to friends, perhaps theydidn’t have a poo bag to clear it up, or perhapsthey just didn’t care?

I can remember washing my children’s shoesafter walks in the park and cleaning footballboots..ah.disgusting! I believe if you are notprepared to pick-up after your pooch, then youshould be denied the pleasure of owning one.

On leaving the house your routine probablywould be…collect keys, coat, shoes or boots,dog, dog lead and POO BAGS! POO BAGS! POO BAGS! Unfortunately there is always going to be someone who just doesn’t care.

The health risks should be made better known. If more people were aware ofthe infections caused from roundworms and hookworms, which are spreadfrom animals to humans via their infected faeces, I think that we would havemore responsible dog owners picking up after their dogs.

Toxocara canis is a roundworm found in dogs. Roundworm eggs are found indog faeces, which can easily be picked up by young children and can cause thedisease toxocariasis. This causes stomach upsets, sore throats, asthma and cancause blindness. The eggs can remain active in the soil for many years, longafter the dog mess has weathered away.

To prevent dogs from carrying this and other worms, owners should worm theirdogs regularly following the advice of their vet. If a dog fouls in a public place,and that means the forest as well as streets and parks, the best advice is always clean up the mess. If there isn’t a bin, take it home and dispose of it.

I think that a lot of dog owners are under the misapprehension that a Dog Exercise Area is an area in which they can take their dog to toilet. It is not! It is there to exercise dogs with others. Inevitably, during exercise a dog will probably wish to toilet, and bins are usually provided if this happens.

Veronica Joyce Dog Trainer

Did you know?Failure to clear up after a dog in your control is a criminal offence for which afixed penalty fine of £80 can be issued (courts can impose a £1,000 fine). You can report an incident of dog fouling in our area to Suffolk Coastal Norseby calling 01394 444000 or emailing [email protected].

Letters - your news & viewsDear Editor,

With growing pressure on our local GP services from an increasing – and increasingly elderly – population, isn’t it time to consider building a bigger andmore modern doctors’ surgery to serve the Peninsula area?

The rationale for this became evident when, on a visit to the Alderton surgerytoday, I found the waiting room full of patients and the car park so overflowingthat people were having to park on the grass verges outside homes in Mill Hoo.Three or four medical staff were holding consultations, which accounted for thelarge numbers waiting.

While the surgery might not be this crowded on a daily basis, surely this is asign of things to come? Yes, there are consultations held in Orford and once-weekly in Hollesley, but this doesn’t appear to be alleviating the demandsmade on the Mill Hoo premises.

If local land-owners can relinquish land for house-building in Bawdsey, Aldertonand Hollesley in order to raise funds to protect their farmland from flooding,surely they could be persuaded to come up with a central site for a new medical centre with a spacious car park, catering for both current and futurehealth needs of local people?

In no way am I suggesting our doctors are inefficient; on the contrary I thinkthey manage superbly within the limits of this small building.

Angela Lawrence

Editor’s NoteThe Peninsula Practice was contacted for their thoughts on Angela’s letter butopted not to provide a reply for inclusion here. Practice manager Linda Deabillhas told us she would welcome any questions about the surgery and it’s facilities via telephone or email - 01394 411641 / [email protected].

Dear Editor,

I would like to say a huge thank you once again this year to the Hollesley Village Fete committee for the generous donation made to the Oesophageal Patients Association in Mike’s memory. It is much appreciated by the Association and always put to good use helping others who are suffering in thesame way Mike did. It is also wonderful to know that Mike is still rememberedwith such affection in the village.

I think we also all owe a big thank you to Stewart and Joan for all their hardwork in organising the fete so well.

Wendy Adams

Dear Editor,

On Friday 10th July a man [description provided] watched his dog poop in themiddle of the footpath leading behind the recreation ground. I then watchedhim kick the poop into the grass at the side. I challenged him and he said it’sso people don’t tread in it. It’s not where the dog poops – it’s the poop itselfwhich causes diseases. I hope he is proud of his action.

A story of forgiveness

A frail, elderly black woman faces the murderer of her family in a court inSouth Africa. The white police officer, Mr. van der Broek, had killed both thewoman’s husband and son. Forced to watch as they were set on fire and burntto death, she bore witness to her husband’s last words - Father forgive them.

Now decades later Mr. van der Broek had been tried and found guilty of themurders. A member of the court turns to the old woman and asks So what doyou want? How should justice be done to this man?

I want three things begins the old woman. I want first to be taken to the placewhere my husband and son’s bodies were burned so that I pray, collect theirashes and give them a proper burial.

She pauses, then continues My husband and son were my only family, I wantsecondly, therefore, for Mr. van der Broek to become my son so that I canpour out on him whatever love I still have remaining in me.

Finally she says I would kindly ask someone to help me across the courtroom.I’d like to embrace Mr. van der Broek so he knows he is truly forgiven.

As the court assistants come to lead the elderly woman across the room, Mr.van der Broek, overwhelmed by what he has just heard, faints, and as he doesthose in the courtroom, family, friends and neighbours - all victims of decadesof oppression and injustice - begin to sing, softly but assuredly Amazing Grace,how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...

Every Blessing to you all.
