Then on the evening of Friday 28th June at 9.15pm, the group will be visiting Blaxhall Heath and Common, hoping to see and hear nightjars. Phil Smith, chair of the SWT Woodbridge Group said, “As darkness falls we will wander across the


heath, looking


and listening for signs of the nightjar. This fascinating bird is a summer visitor to this reserve and I hope we will be lucky enough to catch sight of the bird. The walk should also give the chance to see glow worms”, added Mr Smith. The Blaxhall Heath walk starts from the Sandgalls car park (TM 382559) and will last for approximately one hour.

spades started


digging out the Port of Felixstowe in 1882 to provide a facility for East Anglian grain to be shovelled into ships holds and transported to places far and wide.


Approximately


100 years later men with mechanical diggers and pile drivers built an extension to the port to enable containers to be craned on and off ships trading with ports all over the world. A large audience were informed by Mike Stanley, Senior Logistics Manager of the port, in the last Sunday Talk of the winter programme. Over that time the port has seen many changes, cranes built in Shanghai and towed round the world have been installed along the quay, during the war it was requisitioned for the building of seaplanes and


soon ships


will be loaded by remote control from someone in a hut looking at a screen. Continual upgrading and expansion has enabled


the port to become


one of the country’s most important assets which has handled the largest container ship in the world and although the resulting container lorries are sometimes a nuisance on the roads even this is due to be significantly reduced by a 40% in rail transportation.


These


were just some of the milestones of the port’s history highlighted by Mike in a compelling talk enthusiastically received and generously applauded by those present.


From manoeuvring the largest ships in the world we went to the other extreme with the annual Model Boat challenge between the Cruising Club and the Woodbridge Model Boat Club. Theoretically this is a fun morning around the boat pond followed by a pint-and-pie

A WONDERFUL second episode completing the history of Shingle St by Sarah Margittai for our May 13th meeting. Our member Peter Youngs takes up the baton for our next meeting on Monday 3rd June. During the dry weather you have all seen the machines watering the crops in the Suffolk countryside and Peter has extensive knowledge of this from his original job managing the vegetable crops on the Broxtead estate at Sutton and his retirement job managing the

style lunch in the clubhouse but there is always a competitive undercurrent to the event and this year was no exception as the modellers sought revenge for last year’s defeat.


There


was a good breeze and the boats which are all of the same basic design, were blown along at a good pace but seemingly without control. It was however noticeable that ‘modellers’ boats went in straighter lines and this paid off for modeller John Smith who came out the ultimate winner and reclaimed the ‘trophy’ for the Model Boat Club.


During the winter an increasing number of members, and one or two guests, have been practising away with their ukuleles and these labours were rewarded with an invitation to display their talents at a


lunchtime concert in the


library, together with a group of singers from the club. Jetsam & Flotsam respectively as they have become known. All went very well and the watchers-on tapped their feet and joined in many of the old favourite tunes. As I write hailstones are lashing the window panes whilst preparations are well advanced for the ‘Deben Discovery’ the first proper cruise of the season due to take place in a few days. As the name suggests it is designed to discover what changes have been made by winter storms to the mouth of the river and to ‘shakedown’ boats freshly in the water after their annual lay- up. If this weather continues it will certainly sort out any weak spots as well as toughening up the crews. Oh the joys of an English spring!

THE New Woodbridge Haven Museum has now been open for a month and we have had a gratifying number of visitors, greatly


of April numbers for recent years. Visitors


have


in excess been


very complimentary about the museum showing appreciation for all the hard work that has gone into creating it. With the increased visitor numbers we are always looking for new volunteers to help to keep the museum open throughout the


summer months. If anyone is interested in joining the team please contact 01394 385572. The


April museum talk


at the Community Hall was given by Sarah Margittai about the origins and history of Shingle Street. Originally a station for pilots and revenue men combatting


smuggling,


Sarah called on her own family archives as well as documentary evidence to give a spirited account of the story.
