We have five local groups in Diss, Harleston, Bungay, Beccles and Lowes- toft/Oulton Broad, as well as a very active sub group in Scole. Members are welcome to join their local group who deliver projects, run working parties and social events. The aims of the Trust and its


members is to care for the river, its ecology, water quality and environment guided by our local Broadland Catchment Plan. We place a big emphasis on working with our local com- munities. The Trust has long term partnerships with the statu- tory bodies which have a responsibility for the river.The Trust delivers courses and edu- cational events. We always wel- come corporate and individual


volunteering for work on our open spaces across the catch- ment. See our website for details of


forthcoming events www.rwt. tidyhq.com or River Waveney Trust Facebook page. Halcyons Youth Section. Do


you have children or grandchil- dren, aged between five-14, who would like to learn more about our local wildlife and become involved in the work of the River Waveney Trust? Membership of Halcyons


enables children to be invited along to events throughout the year during school holidays. Younger siblings are often able to attend the events but must always be accompanied by par- ents/guardians. There is usually a small charge to cover the cost of materials and refreshments. For more details please contact Janine Lascelles at halcy- onrwt@gmail.com

THE speaker at the March meet- ing of the Beccles U3A was Dr Joy Hawkins, Lecturer in Humanities at the UEA. The subject was the diagnosis and treatment of disease in the Mid- dle Ages. Dr Hawkins is cur- rently researching medieval and 19th century ailments, acci- dents, injuries and all bodily fluids. She explained the four-tem-


perament theory - that there are four fundamental personality types: sanguine, choleric, mel- ancholic, and phlegmatic. The medical professions in the Mid- dle Ages believed certain human moods, emotions and behav- iours were caused by an excess or lack of body fluids which explained the causes and reme- dies to correct imbalances of the four ‘humours’: blood (san- guine), yellow bile (choleric),
