ON THE BUSES
 
I'm writing this on March 8th, a month before the new timetables come into use on April 4th, so there still might be changes. However, this is how I see things at this time. As usual, the timetables are not easy to follow, but I can't think of an easier way of doing them. We have three operators: Beestons, Carters Coaches and Ipswich Buses (for schools).

Having received two suspicious phone calls in two days, in spite of having Telephone Preference Service, I thought you ought to be aware.

1.
Caller: Is that Mr R-H?
Me: Who is calling, please?
Caller: Is that Mr R-H>?
Me: Who is calling, please?
Caller: I can’t tell you because of the Data Protection Act.
Me: Don’t be ****** ridiculous!

2.
Caller: Is that Mr R-H?
Me: Who is calling, please?
Caller: This is the Industrial Works Unit [who they? no explanation given]. Am I right in thinking someone in your household used to be employed?
Me: None of your business. Goodbye.

If a caller wants to know who you are, they should identify themselves first. If you are still suspicious, terminate the call. They have your name and phone number so probably have your address. If they are genuine they will write to you. But beware of spoof mail as well!

See this website Safefromscams – for information on phone, mail, tradesman and other scams.

We are just about to send out our Spring brochure. If you would like a copy and don’t normally receive them by post perhaps you could email your address to . There’s a copy of the brochure available here.
The next concert is the Ward Quartet on February 6th. Caroline Ball, who was originally booked for this concert, is ill, and Peter Pople of the Alberni Quartet has agreed to step in at the last moment. 
We will have great pleasure in playing for the Charity Gala on February 26th, in aid of St Elizabeth’s Hospice.
Clorinda Smith will be playing the piano for a part of the concert and reciting some of Edith Sitwell’s words from “Façade”.
