National Handball Champions


FARLINGAYE High School in Woodbridge is celebrating a spectacular win at the national finals of the English schools’ Handball competition. They entered a girls’ U13


team in the national competition as one amongst 1,500 schools. They won the Ipswich and South Suffolk, the county, and the regional finals to go to Worces-


ter for the national finals. It was a tense and tight match,


going into extra time and then penalties. There isn’t a Handball Club


within 60 miles of Woodbridge, and all the training was done in school. The girls are very tal- ented in a range of other sports and transferred their skills onto the Handball court.


Woodbridge Art Club


AT the end of May the club had a changeover of paintings and restocked the shelves with more pottery so there are plenty of new exhibits to be seen if you have already visited the club gal- lery this summer. The pottery group decided to


hold another competition, for whacky egg cups this time. Each potter had to make a pair of egg cups and visitors were invited to drop beads into a pot by the egg cups they liked best. Andy Wright was the winner with Helen Mecrow a close runner up. The public seemed to enjoy the exercise and often had diffi- culty deciding where to put their beads. I think this may become an annual event as it amuses


both potters and public. On August 11th and 12th we


plan to hold an outdoor exhibi- tion in what I believe is called Waterside Square, but I can’t help thinking of as Whisstocks Square! It’s still in the planning stage so more details next month. In the meantime you can visit


the club gallery in Tide Mill Way any Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday Monday between 10am and 5pm. Besides the paintings, pots and lace you will find a selection of original cards, maps and of course, the club’s calen- dar for 2019. Look forward to seeing you.

ON a sweltering Sunday after- noon, as we approached high tide, a group of intrepid 5th Woodbridge sea scouts together with some volunteers from Deben Rowing Club, set sail for the opposite riverbank to clear it of rubbish. On the town side, 23 volunteers and the sea scouts’ families set about clearing along the riverbank and litter picking the surrounding areas of the Boating pond, Kingston Fields, the Community Hall and Rail- way Station car parks. 2 buoys, 1 200ltr drum, a large piece of polystyrene probably off a pon- toon, an old link of chains, a tyre and other bits and pieces of sail- ing equipment were some of the rubbish the sea scouts collect- ed!! 32 bags of rubbish were left quayside for Norse to collect! Thanks to everyone who


helped - Volunteers from Deben Rowing Club , River Deben Association, Transition Wood- bridge, Veronica from the Town Council and, of course, the 5th Woodbridge sea scouts and explorers, including their fami- lies! For more information and


other events being planned, please do get in touch on ttwood- bridge@gmail.com Transition Woodbridge is a


community-led group that aims to strengthen the local economy, reduce the cost of living and pre- pare for a future with less oil and a changing climate. Find us & “like us” on Face-

Woodbridge Cruising Club


THE first real cruise of the sea- son was the Deben Discovery, so named because its prime objec- tive is to find the ever changing channel at the mouth of the river out to the sea. John White, the Felixstowe Ferry Harbourmas- ter, carried out a survey in April and found that whilst the route hadn’t changed much, the depths had and so crews had to be on their mettle to avoid going aground. Once out they were off to Washington and back, which is not a transatlantic endurance test but a timed passage to the Washington Buoy some three miles offshore. This year the weather was fine and dry but the winds were rather gentle which reduced it to a bit of a drift, although that was better than being blasted by a fire hose, and after a close finish Andy Lar- wood in his boat ‘Aberration’ was the winner of the Aldred Cup. Thanks to Jean & Colin White for organising and coping admirably with all the hiccups of this first event and to Mark Bar- ton of Waldringfield Boatyard for allowing us the use of his premises. Now, ‘posh’ used to relate to

those who could afford to stay in the shade on their voyage to India by travelling Port Outward and Starboard Home but it could soon to apply to those sailing to Orford where Mr Gove is pro- posing to prohibit anchoring in sections of the river Ore for Preservation Of Sea Horses. However, that didn’t affect this


year’s second cruise organised by Graham and Gillian Bush when nine boats set off on a five day sail visiting Orford and Aldeburgh en route. At Orford Graham organised a trip to the top of the lighthouse which stands defiant but holds onto the land by a mere thread and is no longer in commission. Unfortu- nately the day of the visit was very misty and although they climbed to the light room at the top, they could barely see the shingle beach let alone the sea and the horses stabled beneath. In the evening the weather turned chilly and they were grateful to the Orford Sailing Club for allowing them the use of the club’s barbecue which, to the eternal joy of the cruise lead- er, was gas powered. After a good sail next day the


group picked up moorings at Aldeburgh and were able to enjoy the facilities of Aldeburgh Yacht Club, culminating in a cruise ‘Dinner’ in their Dining Room. By the time this is published


the Woodbridge Regatta will have been and gone. On occa- sions such as this the Club is pleased to open its doors to the wider world and show off the facilities, of which it is justifi- ably proud. If you have an inter- est in sailing and think you might like to join us, you can find more information and mem- bership details by going to www. woodbridgecruisingclub.org


For you, your family and business


THE D Sharp Landscapes Invi- tation Pairs Tournament resulted in a convincing victory for Mel Saggers and Eric Titshall. They carded a record 64 points ahead of Ken Frost and Norman West in second on 55 points and Brian Pryke and Paul Hazelwood in third with 52 points. The EBF Three Bowl Pairs


Tournament, which was spon- sored by D Sharp Landscapes for the first time this year, was played on Melton’s fast running green and attracted a full com- plement of 28 pairs. With one game remaining for


each team, only three pairs from the two sections had won all their games and were still in con- tention to take the trophy. Saggers and Titshall, who had


won all their games by large margins led with an impressive 46 points and a win in their last game against N Roberts set the target for the rest of the field of 64 points. Darrell Howard and Mark


Baker in second place on 44 points, were the only pair who could have overhauled the lead- ers but they required a maximum

21 points in their last game. They lost that game against K Cooper picking up only five points and finishing back in joint fourth place. Frost and West who had also


won all their games but only by narrow margins, had a good win in their last game, collecting 18 points in beating P Dodds, to fin- ish on 55 points in second place. Pryke and Hazelwood, who had lost one game, secured a 20


point win in their last game against B Moss which was enough to secure them third place with 52 points. After the games were com-


pleted, the Tournament sponsor Derrick Sharp and event organ- iser, Peter Moyes presented the trophy and prizes to the first, second and third placed pairs. Ray Andrews Press Officer
