On Monday the 2nd July our Pre-school went on a visit to Rodger Cosgrove’s farm in Boyton.First we helped collect the eggs fromthe chicken coops and got to strokethe chickens.We then had a lovely time holdingsome chicks. We went to see somepigs and we even saw some pigletsfeeding from their mothers. Then weall took turns to sit in the farm tractorand beep the horn. There were twolovely black calves there that we fedtoo. We had a great day, and wouldlike to say a big thank you to RodgerCosgrove and Mortier FarmsLtd for this brilliant experience.

A good luck day I thought I would share with you

On a Wednesday morning, in early June, I stopped off at Hollesley shop for my normalmorning goodies. I decided to purchase a Cash and Cars Scratch card. I took it outsideand when I was sat comfortably in my tractor I thought I would scratch the card while Iwas there... well, you never know I may have won a pound or two... Imagine my surprisewhen I came across a VW symbol, I couldn't believe my eyes. So I returned to the shopfor confirmation that I was indeed a winner and that I had won a brand new VW Golf.

To my delight the ticket was confirmed as a winner. It was an incredible but happyshock. I spoke to Camelot and waited with eager anticipation for nine days and then Ireceived a call to pick up my new VW from Wolsey’s of Ipswich.

It is a lovely car and the best £2 I have ever spent - and I still cannot believe my luck.Paul Middleditch, Boyton

Katie Middleditch (Paul’s daughter) and the new car

Thank you for sharing your good news story with us. Congratulations to you and all thefamily. (Editor)

Sea of Stones Shingle Street has so much, and yet so little.There is no sandy beach, no cafe, pub,streetlights, shops or bus stops. In winter – andoften in summer - grey waves thunder onto theshingly shore, and you can taste the drifting mistof salty spray. It is truly an elemental place: wind,sea and stones. For many, Shingle Street is anicon of the Suffolk coast, and as good as it gets.

People have always lived at the interface betweenthe sea and the land, and eked out a living from both during times of real hardship.Timber sheds and cottages made from driftwood and cut-up boats housed fishermen andtheir families on the beaches at Lowestoft, Southwold, Dunwich, Aldeburgh andespecially at Shingle Street.

Our coast has always been dangerous, and in the 18th and 19th centuries it was positivelylethal to the small wooden vessels that thronged the inshore waters. Frequent wrecks along the coast resulted in a lifeboat station at Shingle Street, whilstmilitary concern about the vulnerability of the long beach to invasion resulted in severalMartello Towers being built in Hollesley Bay from 1808: the workmen and fishermenmust have made good use of the hamlet’s Life Boat Inn. Apparently, one of the towerswas built on unstable ground, and it was eventually demolished: the bricks were used tobuild small houses in Hollesley, in the road now named Tower Hill.

A study of old maps reveals that the mouth of the River Ore, with its necklace of offshoreshingle islands was once known as Orford Haven. Pilots stationed at the Haven lived atShingle Street, and the Orford Harbour Master and the Revenue Officer were also basedthere. Their role was to keep an eye on vessels and boats plying the Ore to and fromSnape Maltings, Slaughden Quay, Orford and Boyton Dock. Later, the row of coastguardcottages was built at Shingle Street, and over the years many coastguards and theirfamilies lived in them.

The little hamlet was home to a vibrantcommunity of people who in one way or anotherdepended upon the sea or ships for their livelihood.Fisherman, pilot, salvage worker, boat builder,lifeboat crewman, ferryman, waterman, seaman,part-time smuggler: the male ‘Shinglestreeters’turned their hands to many things, includingmarket gardening and poaching. Typically, thefamilies were large, and perhaps because of thenature of their lives, some of the people in thehamlet were larger than life.

Trinity House pilots, and proud of it

Or coast was lethal to small vessels


Francis William Langmaid was born at Orford in 1823. In 1849 he was a Shingle Streetpilot, and married Jane Parker in Bawdsey church: they were to produce seven youngShinglestreeters. Two years later, the 1851 Census lists him as a pilot and also innkeeperat the Life Boat Inn. In 1859, his old fishing smack Jemima was involved in the salvageof the vessel Robinson and her cargo. Such salvage work was highly lucrative to any manwith the boat, ability and the courage to put to sea in storms to aid stricken vessels. Fatesometimes intervened: in 1866 Langmaid was ordered off the Dickie Sam, only for thevessel to later sink, with loss of life. Sailing in his new, but second-hand yawl Jane,Langmaid made numerous successful salvages over many years, and was able to buyproperty in the hamlet as a result. In 1901, his long tenure as the innkeeper of the LifeBoat came to an end: by then, he was a professional Trinity House pilot, and also a sub-agent for Lloyds Insurance. Described as upright, resourceful, hardworking andcourageous, Francis William Langmaid – ‘Shingle Street’s most respected pilot’– died in1909, aged 86. He is buried in Hollesley churchyard.In 1897, Samuel Langmaid – his youngest son - marriedAdelaide Keeble. Samuel replaced his father as the innkeeperin 1901. Adelaide was a seamstress. Sadly, for her weddingday, she made and wore a wedding/mourning dress of sombreblack in memory of her late father. She was thought to be theepitome of Victorian beauty by the fashionable summertimevisitors to Shingle Street for the summer. They were a sourceof welcome income for the Shinglestreeters. Many visitorsstayed in the large German Mansion near the Life Boat Inn.German Mansion? The building, like the rest of the hamlet,confronted what, until 1914, was called the German Ocean.Alfred Norton was one of a trio of seagoing brothers who

owned several barges,including the Rudolph,an old coal barge that finally sank at Shingle Street.She is one source of the sea coal occasionally foundon the beach today. Photographs of him in hisTrinity House cap and uniform show a fine, uprightold man with a white beard and a full set ofwhiskers. Every present-day native Shinglestreeteris descended from Alfred.

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Please be aware of birds nesting in the shingle andkeep your dog on a lead in April, May, June and July. Wild flowers on beaches should notbe uprooted or trampled.

From the horse’s mouth

Hello there, this is Dolly again. Well now, my old Chinas, I couldn’t believe my mincepies when I saw the Pearly King coming down the frog and toad in his pearly weasel andstoat with his pearly tit for tat on his loaf of bread…..

Sorry, I got a bit carried away with the Cockney rhyming slang and a bit ahead of myselftoo, but it was an exciting RDA Open Day. Let me re-wind a little. We all thoughtsomething was ‘up’ when we saw the weeds cut down and the yards swept clean and thestables looking very smart. We horses were brought in from the fields and given the fullbeauty treatment. First the shampoo wash, then manes and tails washed and groomeduntil we shone. Some of us had our tails and manes plaited and May (typically) even hadbeads in hers! Naturally we all enjoyed the attention, little realising the hard work wewould have to put in for the pleasure.

The day was opened by thePearly King, Gerry Baxter, whoreally enjoyed himself, beingbrought down the drive in anew carriage. This carriage wasdesigned and built by MikeDaniell together with NickBernard, who drove the carriagefor years and then gave it to theRDA. He was present to showour helpers how to adapt it totake a wheelchair. Mike alsosurprised us all by bringing four

different carriages for display and taking visitors for a drive. It made us sit up a bit I cantell you. When you see these high stepping professionals strutting their stuff, you have toraise your own game, if only for personal pride! The riding horses too had their momentsof glory, with their musical ride and display, they and their riders all looking very smartwith the riders wearing special outfits. Remembering the complicated routine was noteasy but good fun all the same.I don’t know about anyone else, but by the end of the day, I was pretty tired after pullingthat carriage around, but I guess it was worth it for the pleasure it gave. So that’s it foranother donkey ear - we were lucky with the weather, enabling a lot of people to visit usand enjoy what we had to offer. Of course the work goes on in providing that specialsomething we horses give to our disabled clients. What it is, is a mystery to me, but itseems to work. So it is time to scarpa flow and take the weight off my plates, whilst mycarers have a cup of rosie lea. Sorry, it really is hard to stop, quite addictive really, but Iwill no doubt have got over it in time for the next blog. Thanks to everyone for a greatday.TTFN, DollyCentre Phone 410014 or Shirley Green 411251

The Pearly King in the Carriage

Having experienced the relative comfort ofsitting on padded chairs at our meetings inthe Village Hall, our President RosemaryBusby has got the bit between her teeth toraise money to acquire some more. Shehas brokered a deal with the local councilto match £ for £ any money we raise with aview to purchasing a new batch in theautumn. So far we have accumulated over£700 from the Jubilee Fund – so it islooking quite promising.

Apart from working hard at the VillageFete, some of us have managed to findtime to indulge in a bit of culture - a coachtrip to Gainsborough and Constablecountry and a visit to The Hush House atBentwaters for Eastern Angles' productionof the life of 18th century local heroine,horse thief and smuggler's moll, theinfamous Margaret Catchpole.

We also took a welcome break fromcooking when we got together in theVillage to have our annual summer mealwith a glass or two of wine, rounded off bya quiz and some rather raucous communalsinging, accompanied by the very talentedJane on the piano accordion.

As promised last month, this round up ofWI news would not be complete withoutmention of our gifted crafters and theircontributions to this year's rain doggedSuffolk Show. You know who you are butwe are all very proud of Jane, Valerie,Helen, Cheryl and Pam for their quiteamazing entries all with a summer 2012

theme. Jane's Chelsea Flower Show floraldisplay was stunning and earned her joint2nd place as did Valerie's beautifully worked tote bag depicting the Olympics.Afternoon Tea at Wimbledon - a plate ofsandwiches, strawberries and cream - allpainstakingly knitted and embroidered, wasa team effort by Pam, Helen and Valerie.Cheryl's Rose Bowl and Bell poster andDiamond Jubilee Gala Dinner Menu wereinspired. Well done guys.

Activities coming up include Rosemary'sgarden party on August 15th and a trip toSpexhall to play petanque. It would alsobe nice to achieve one of our monthlywalks if the rain holds off! It did, however,stay dry for the Olympic Torch run when agroup of us grabbed the opportunity offront row seats in the Melton garden of ourVice-President - thank you, Joan. Our nowregular ten pin bowling event takes a breakin August as do our regular meetings butwe will be back in September ready to turnour attention to the autumn programmewhich includes a proposed trip to BletchleyPark, Buckingham Palace and the seasideat Cromer. All good stuff.

Orford Ness community day On Sunday 15th July, the lucky residents of Boyton, Butley, Chillesford, Gedgrave, Iken,Orford and Sudbourne were treated to the annual free visit to Orford Ness. The daystarted dry and bright – a welcome change from the recent heavy rain.

After landing, we followed the trail out across thebrackish marshes – lush and green andwaterlogged, with many reed buntings flittingabout and calling, a hunting barn owl to our leftand a short-eared owl to our right. Crossing theBailey bridge over Stoney Ditch, the contrast inthe landscape was quite stark as we entered thesparsely vegetated shingle part of the Ness, withits long strips of vegetation on the higher crests ofthe shingle and bare stones in between. Here theabandoned buildings, lighthouse, blocks ofconcrete and twisted metal contrast vividly withthe pale shingle and the open skyline. There isalways a frisson of danger, as there are many signswarning of unexploded ordnance and unstable buildings that are likely to collapse!

We continued towards the lighthouse and then down to the beach, hoping to find someamber (but didn’t!) The tide was fairly high, so it was difficult to get close to the seawithout getting wet. Turning back inland, we made our way towards the pagodabuildings, where there was a sculpture trail and the promise of music. The sculptureswere quite subtle and initially difficult to distinguish from the fairly sculptural objects inthe abandoned buildings where they were being displayed – a case of life imitating art?

We arrived at the armoury building just in time to hear a really atmospheric performanceof music, which was an interpretation of the sights and sounds of Orford Ness – afantastic treat! After the performance we headed back to the jetty and were delighted byone last surprise – two spoonbills flew overhead as we went back over the Bailey bridge.Everyone we spoke to seemed to be having a great time, so we say a great big thank youto the National Trust for giving us a really fantastic day out!

The Place has been in Hollesley for 6 months. Here is what some of the young peoplesay…• The Place is a great place for people to hang round and they always have

activities to do so it’s a really good place. Brandon• The Place is great fun with loads of fantastic activities and it means we spend

more time outside socialising than inside, it is also good as it’s in the middle of the village so most people can come to the bus and won’t have far to walk home,

I LOVE THE BUS! Lauren• I love the bus, it’s so cool because there are loads of things to do and stuff to

play like the wide game which is good. The people are really nice too. Charlotte• I love coming to the bus it gets me out of the house to meet friends in a place in

the village. KieranWe are also excited to announce that wehave received a grant from Suffolk CountyCouncil, which will enable us to organise aweekend away for the young people whocome to The Place in Hollesley & Orford.Neil and Beth, who run The Place, will beplanning this with the young people overthe summer. The Place will not be runningduring August – but see Rock Opsannouncement below. We will be back againin September. Our days and times may

change, so follow our Facebook page for updates: www.facebook.com/Just42YouthBus .If you would like more information about The Place (which is run by Just42, a charitybased in Woodbridge) or if you would like to contribute financially, or volunteeroccasionally please contact me on 01394 380992 or email [email protected]

Greetings from The Mission at BoytonSometimes having the last word is important and of momentous consequence.

BE STILL AND KNOW…But they walked, they ran, they marched, they rode, they flew, they drove, they bussed

and they commuted.BE STILL AND KNOW THAT….

But they gathered, they met, they communed, they congregated, they assembled incircles,

they lined up in rows and they organised.BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I…

But they conversed, they spoke, they shouted, they shook, they cried, they laughed, they murmured and complained.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM…But the marches went forward, the busses rolled on, the circles went round, the lines keptmoving, the shouts, the cries, the laughter, the sighs, the murmurings and the complaints

grew louder and stronger, whirling and swirling faster and faster until suddenly…LIFE STOPS!

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

Our preachers in August are:5th Paul Kemp (Stowmarket) 19th Cecil Gill (Ipswich)12th Les Wright (Debenham) 26th Steve Dart (Hollesley)

Your letters Dear Editor,I took this picture of Andy and Ian Bruce. (Ian is a good friend of ours, who has recentlymoved in at 39 Moorlands). They have volunteered to erect the deer fencing at thecemetery in Hollesley. Also pictured is George Collins who has spent a lot of timeclearing the hedge line so they could erect the new fence to keep everybody’s flowerssafe.

We also had help on one Saturday fromMike Friend and China. I know when thewhole thing is finished and the new gatesare done, there will be a big mention fromthe Parish Council but I thought it wouldbe nice for Village Voices readers to have awork in progress report.

Kind RegardsMichele Stebbens

You may remember Tracey Searle wrote tous in May about Sid - and then Mrs Scotttook the story forward in July. We are gladthat Village Voices was able to play asmall part in this story. Now read on…(Editor)

Dear Editor,Just to update you on this amazing story!I made contact with Mrs Scott last Fridayand she has confirmed that Sid and herhusband both served together in the samebattalion. Her husband was with Sid whenhe was killed and spoke fondly of hisfriend Siddie. Even more amazing MrsScott knew one of Sid's brothers Peter andsister May. Neither Peter nor May marriedand their remaining brother Lloyd, whilsthe married had no children thus the familyline ended. Mrs Scott's husband died 13years ago - if only I had started myresearch sooner. She has given me the

name of a lady in Suffolk who hasresearched Sid's battalion; there are twomembers still alive. I will make contactwith her within the next few days. Perhapsfinally I will see a photo of Sid and learn alittle more of the person whom my Nanmet and married?

I will of course keep you updated but Iwould like to give my grateful thanks toHelen (Macleod). It was a delight to speakto Mrs Scott, she was so knowledgeableand helpful that it really has enabled bothme and my mum to piece together a part ofNan's life. It would have been a very sadand difficult time for her and one whichshe no doubt, lived with all her life.Thank you.

Kindest regards,Tracey Searle

Dear Editor,My school friends from the late 60s havereturned from a recent memorial servicefor one of our group who studied at MillsGrammar School, Framlingham. Weboarded at Cransford Hall and cycled toschool every day. Amongst our groupphoto was Joyce Nunn who was a weeklyboarder. We lost touch with Joyce, whohad an interest in archaeology. Since thattime we have had school reunions etc andSuzie, Sheila, Barbara and I would like tofind Joyce again.

I realise that this request is out of the blue- however we have fond memories ofJoyce from this special and formative timeof our lives. I think there may be a Nunnfamily connection with Hollesley. Wewould appreciate any help or informationto fit the piece in the jigsaw.

Thank you so much.Jacqueline Ward (nee Piper)

Dear Editor,I live in Sutton, just a few doors up fromwhere that young girl lived, who was killedat the Bromeswell junction. The lateCouncillor Rosie Clarke campaigned tohave the junction made safer, and MayVillage Voices showed the plaque whichwas placed there in memory of her.

Although I am nearly 90, and havearthritis, I went out on my scooter and alsocampaigned for safety at that dangerousjunction. With the help of my son HadrianSwager we collected 252 names, not justfrom Sutton, but from neighbouringvillages, and Bingo friends. We were hurtthat no-one gave us a mention, althoughthe story was told in the newspaper. It wasa lot of hard work, but we are thankful thatthe junction is now safe, and we hope no-one will be hurt or killed in the future.

Our Vicar writes

By the time you read this, the Olympic Games will be underway. Euro 2012 andWimbledon have already put sport on the front pages of our newspapers and prime-timetelevision. We remind each other that it is the taking part that counts rather than winningbut, at the same time, the media encourage us to disregard any achievement other thancoming first. Very few of us can aspire to be chosen to represent our country in sport, letalone win an Olympic gold medal or a Grand Slam. Yet each and every one of us hasgifts, talents and abilities which Christians believe are God-given so that we can developas human beings and give delight and benefit to others. In the Bible, St Paul teaches thatwe need to give as much effort and dedication to our spiritual development as an athletein training does. It requires ‘stickability’. Jesus told a story about how God wants us touse all the abilities and resources we have been given.

Many people in our villages do use their gifts and talents in a wide variety of ways; inhobbies and crafts; in sports and pastimes. At the beginning of September there is anopportunity to celebrate and showcase those activities at the Craft & Hobbies Fair beingheld at Hollesley Church on Sunday 2nd September. If there is something that you do ormake that you would like to share with others, please get in touch with Di [email protected] 411079, by 15th August. There is no charge toexhibitors (or visitors) but if you would like to offer your work for sale at the fair, wewould appreciate a donation.

Finally, I hope everyone will come and visitthe fair. You may be inspired to developyour hidden talent or take up a new hobbyfor the winter months ahead.

News from Sutton Heath

Sutton Heath Ladies Group formed last year, and we meet on the first Wednesday of themonth. We have various activities including, quizzes, recipe swops with cake testing, talkswith a speaker, and sometimes just a cuppa and a chat. It was at one of our meetings thatwe decided to have a Diamond Jubilee Celebration for all of Sutton Heath. The feelingwas that all the children attending should receive a souvenir, and anything left overshould be shared between any local groups that supported the event. So we set aboutraising some money….

After a wonderful day we had an amazing£600 left. £300 was given to theWoodbridge Soldiers Fund to supportinjured soldiers and bereaved families inour midst. £150 went to Sutton HeathChildcare Centre for some extra books forthe little ones, and £150 for SandlingsPrimary School towards play equipment.

Our Ladies are now looking forward toan outing in November and a ChristmasLunch in December.

Deer notesIn 1940, the first muntjac deer recorded in East Anglia was shot at Parham nearFramlingham. They are now numerous and widespread in Suffolk. The muntjac is adiminutive deer, with a reddish-brown coat. In China – its homeland – it lives in forests:here, its small size and often solitary lifestyle can allow it to live unseen in large, roughgardens and even in towns.

The male has small antlers, and both sexes havetusk-like canine teeth. They bark like a dog in thebreeding season. In woodland, you could mistakea muntjac for a brown Labrador. Muntjacs areusually loners, although I saw two on LowerHollesley Common in May. If alarmed, a muntjacwill raise its tail vertically as it rushes for cover.

Nearly everyone in the Sandlings area knows thefallow deer. Although present in Britain during thewarmer interglacial periods that occurred betweenglaciations, they failed to cross from the continentto Britain before the land bridge was submerged

by the rising North Sea about 8,000 years ago. Fallow received a helping hand from theRomans, who introduced them as exotic decorations for their villa gardens. Populationsdo not appear to have become widely established until the 11th century, when theNormans brought greater numbers for sport, food and to stock their deer parks. Today,only the park at Helmingham Hall survives, with herds of red and fallow deer. During andafter the world wars, other parks were neglected, their fences fell into disrepair and thedeer wandered away into the local countryside.

Pub quiz updateWith a couple of new teams appearing regularly, competition is hotting up at TheShepherd and Dog on the last Sunday of the month. Well, not really – it remains afriendly and a slightly competitive affair! In February the Bouligans won yet again andthe money went to the Lifeboats. March saw new winners in The Hapless Hammers, whoagain dominated in April. For May’s quiz they changed their name to The PromotedHammers after their footballers improbably won promotion to the Premiership. May sawBrainspace winning again rather than taking the accustomed second place. £45 went tothe Air Ambulance. The June quiz coincided with the football final so numbers were a bitdown. However a rejuvenated Tripod, with a touch of youth and sporting knowledge,under the code name New Impetus took the title. A popular win and about time too! Themoney this time went to the Diabetes Unit at Ipswich Hospital.

Plum Tart

The original recipe for this (from SarahRaven’s Garden Cookbook) is for anupside down cake. For that you need afrying pan you can put in the oven and Idon't have one, so I make it in a tart tinand serve it as it comes. It tastes deliciouseither way. Serves 4

6 oz sugar 2 oz soft butter6 oz plums, stoned and halved (exact 3 oz self-raising flourquantity will depend on the type of plum) 2 medium eggs

Pre heat the oven to 170C /gas 3. Put 3 oz of the sugar in a pan with 70 ml of water andheat gently until the sugar dissolves, then cook without stirring until the sugarcaramelises to a rich golden brown. Pour the caramel into a 6 inch tart tin or oven proofdish. Arrange the plums, cut side down in a single layer over the caramel in the dish.Cream the butter with the rest ofthe sugar, beat in the eggs, one ata time, and fold in the flour.When mixed, spoon over theplums and spread in as even alayer as possible. Bake in apreheated oven for 30-40minutes. The centre should befirm to the touch and the edgesslightly shrunk from the sides. Ifyou want to serve it with theplums on top, allow it to rest for5 minutes, make sure the spongeis not stuck to the sides of thedish, cover with an upturnedplate and flip over. Serve withcream, ice cream or crèmefraiche.

A Womble

Waking up with the birds

On waking up in the morningHalf open eyes I am still yawning

Not knowing what the day might bringBut already the birds have started to sing

Singing is the sound of happiness they relateMortals like us should follow suit and participate

Now starlings like to congregateMaybe they are having a debate

They are all many colours and sizesThis is what nature comprises

God gave us these wondrous things for you and meWe gladly accept them and thank Him joyously

Dance and Drama Club’s visit to The Crash of the Elysium

We waited a long time just to see an exhibition about the Elysium. A man in a smart suitwas talking about the ship’s first anchor and stuff like that and there we were thinking thisis the worst school trip e-v-e -r . . . then, a siren went off and three army officers camerushing in and that’s where our adventure began!

They led us to a small room and we had to put on a decontamination suit and a mask. Thearmy officers were called Ripley, Sergeant and Corporal. They taught us some signs likeget down, stop etc. They ordered us to get into three lines with an adult at the back. Theycalled all of us Alphas and gave us names for each of our lines: data, patrol and tech.

We went in a long tube and there was this big room like a tent with smoke. It was windythat day so it made it even scarier. Corporal found video tape and played it for us. It wasthe real Doctor saying to destroy his Tardis. And remember, don’t … it was the end of thetape. So we had to find out the rest of the tape and remember what he had said. Wecontinued our journey but now we had to find the Tardis.

We followed the officers into another room where we had to look for clues; we foundloads but then we found the key to the Doctor’s Tardis. Then we witnessed the WeepingAngels. We had to keep looking at them without blinking. Then one came closer andcloser and then Corporal felt someone touch him. It wasn’t any of us so it must have beena Weeping Angel. He managed for a little bit but if we didn’t end the mission quicklyenough he would turn into an angel too! Then Sergeant couldn’t close the door: we wereall worried. While they were trying to shut the door Ripley gave two of us the Doctor’scompass, she whispered This will keep you safe… the Angels won’t come near you. Wewere safe not just because of the compass because they had finally shut the door!

We went down this time to a room. It was dark,scary and… was, that a clown? We were at thecircus and was that Dolly? Yes it was. Dolly wasa lady who had travelled with the Doctor manyyears ago. She told us about her adventure whenshe was the first lady ever to go to the moon!She also said, Don’t destroy the Tardis, we haveto save the Doctor! I have heard the Tardisrecently. We thanked Dolly and set off again.

We were still at the circus but in a differentroom. It had about five sets of curtains withnames on the top, the Tardis had to be in one ofthem. We looked at the names of the sets ofcurtains. We had a go at one but we were wrong:then we looked at them but there was a set withthe box of delights at the top, this had to be it.The Tardis


The cheque presented by Dan Wheals to membersof the group

We opened the curtains and there it stood the blue, small-but-big time machine. Weopened it with the key and sent it back to the Doctor.

Our journey still wasn’t over; we had to get home so we set off… again. This time wecame into a room with another recording from the Doctor saying, Thank you, you did notonly take risks to save me but you risked yourself. The recording ended. Suddenly aWeeping Angel came on to the screen and as soon as it came very close, more Angelscame on. This routine carried on until lots of Angels came very, very close, this called fordrastic action. We held onto a beam in the middle of the room and as if by magic all ofthe Angels vanished. Then we realised that we had just saved the world. We went out ofthe door and found all of the Angels had been sapped into the walls because they weremade out of clay.

We came back to the real world all in one piece, apart from the fact that we were reallyhungry, saving the world brings on an appetite! We had lunch and then we went to dosome art about what we had just experienced. After that we went to ChristchurchMansion to do a Tardis Trail, we had to go through some of the rooms and answerquestions.

When we got back to school we were given a letter from… the Doctor!! Well, we savedthe world in one day, good for a group of children, don’t you think? You never know youmight see a different star in the sky, a blue one maybe…

School Reporters Abby Day and Shannon Williams

Don’t worry – they’re fine,they really did save theworld!

Hollesley fete and fundog show 2012Well what a Fete it was. The wind was a bitstrong and gusty to say the least. We had to takedown one marquee, and throw away twogazebos damaged by the gusts. The Scouts tentswere damaged and we had to take the bouncycastle down before it blew over Shingle Street!But we had sun and no rain all day….Hurrah.We had more stalls and attractions this year andwe made £3,106 to donate to the Church andlocal projects.

The stars of the Fete were The Gypsy Dreams Belly Dancers who stopped the show with theirdancing and music. Great ladies - we all hope we can tempt you back again next year. As usualthe Hollesley School trumpets and traditional country dancing put on by Lynn and the Childrenwas fab. Keith Clements came along with his fascinating collection of twelve unique handmadeboats. Keith says thank you to all who filled his RNLI money box. The Fun Dog Show took awhacking £79. Thanks to Helen Brown and her lovely helpers from Happy Days at Rendlesham.The Golden Oldies and puppies were great.

Well won Lee! For a list ofDraw Prizes contact Stewart 412169, or see Village Voices website.

Our 74 year old Gran with a Van did amazingly well for her Flood Aid Charity. Can you believethis old lady when not raising money, drives up and down the country helping people who havebeen affected by floods and gives them furniture, cutlery and clothing etc to help them get startedagain? She also takes all our left over donations from the white elephant, books and bric-a-bracstall. Well done Sue and good luck with what you do.
