Track Santa!
19/12/10 09:41 Filed in:Events
Doubtless some of you have tracked Santa on previous Christmas Eves and, thanks to NORAD and Google Earth, the flight of the sleigh will be fully covered once again this year. If you have never joined the tracking of the flight before, you are in for a real treat. Sadly, due to the nature of the evening, there is no chance to contact Santa direct but you can see where he is at any given moment in real time. To find out more now and to follow the flight on Christmas Eve go to: www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html

‘Bawdsey Research Station’ Commemorations 2010
In recognition of the historic events that took place in 1935 and 1940 which played a significant part in Britain’s war effort, commemorative events have been taking place at Bawdsey Manor during 2010. To commemorate the end of the Battle of Britain radio stations will be operated from the Manor on Saturday & Sunday 11 & 12 September. The Bawdsey Radar Museum (in the original transmitter Block) will also be open on Sunday 12 September.
During its time as a radar research centre and as an operational station for Chain Home radar, it was known by the acronym BRS – Bawdsey Research Station. It was here that Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his colleagues turned the ideas on which the well known experiment at Daventry (26 Feb 1935) was based into a full operational system, without which the outcome of the Battle of Britain would almost certainly have been quite different.
You may have watched the rather unimpressive demonstration of radar on Coast recently (you can detect aircraft before you see them!). Come and see how it was really done!

Telephone scams again
22/08/10 11:45 Filed in:Alerts
Telephone scams continue. You may receive a call from a “representative” of BT, informing you that he is disconnecting you because of an unpaid bill. The caller will even demonstrate that he can block your phone. Don’t be fooled. By simply not hanging up, any caller blocks your phone for up to 6 minutes so you will not get dial tone when you try to make a call. If you receive such a call, inform the police.

Music in Felixstowe July newsletter
We start the month with a new initiative – a series of lunchtime concerts given by talented young Suffolk musicians.
The youngest is harpist, Imogen Ridge aged 13 and the oldest are the 17 and 18 year olds, busy in the middle of their A levels.
The series starts with a lively performance by children from Kingsfleet Primary School here at Old Felixstowe. I regularly help with their singing practice and it’s a real pleasure to have them along to launch the series.
All the concerts are on Wednesday lunchtimes at St Andrew’s Church at 1.00pm and you are welcome to bring your lunch along – we’ll supply the drinks. There is no charge to come in but we will be having a retiring collection. The full list of concerts follows, plus the last three concerts in our Summer season. Please book on 01394 670633 for the concerts at Felixstowe Ferry – the Sailing Club and St Nicholas church – as both have a limited capacity. Read More...

Hello – I hope none of you got marooned abroad in the recent ash debacle. I had a 36 hour journey across Europe this week (9 trains and various buses, etc) My main worry was to get back in time for rehearsals with John Stafford, the pianist in our cello and piano recital next Sunday.
The programme opens with a lovely set of variations by Beethoven on a theme by Mozart. We then play the sonata by Benjamin Britten – a fantastic work where he experiments with the instruments to create some amazing effects. I last played this work about 15 years ago and the audience were knocked out by it.
To finish the programme we are playing the well-known F major sonata by Brahms – a work of great scope and dimension.
It being the Bank Holiday weekend I hope some of you will think that coming over to Felixstowe to hear such wonderful music is a good idea.
