From the editor
Dear readers,
As 2015 draws to a close and the

wreath-making, a Christmas
coffee morning and senior citizens
Christmas tea (see p.2 for details).
On p.9 you will find details of all
church services taking place
during the Christmas Season, as
well as various carol concerts, carol

Local lives - Lydia Calvesbert
Lydia developed her passion for theatre from the age of 9 years when she first
appeared on stage in the village hall of Capel St Mary. This was as the lead role
in The Lonely One, a children’s play about a friendless child, which was written
by a Battle of Britain pilot with a terrible facial disfigurement, having been shot
down in a blazing Spitfire. At the time, the post-war 1940’s, Lydia was living
with her family in Great Wenham and attending the local Primary School. Here
she passed her 11+ and transferred to Stowmarket Grammar School, where
the Head of English involved her in school productions, casting her for example
as the incorruptible Gwenny in Emlyn Williams The Late Christopher Bean.
Contributed
On leaving school, Lydia gained a place at Goldsmiths College, University of
London where she trained to be a teacher, studying English and History and
gaining a diploma in Speech and Drama. It was the swinging sixties and the
advent of the kitchen-sink drama. During her time at Goldsmiths, Lydia
appeared in John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger and took the lead role in Arnold
Wesker’s Roots - a powerful modern drama about women’s lives at the kitchen
sink from which there seemed to be no escape.
Returning to her
native Suffolk, Lydia
began her teaching
career in Secondary
Modern Schools. She
was keen to further
develop her own
interest in the stage
and began by joining
the Ipswich Masque
Players. They were
renowned for good
straight plays which
were in vogue at the
time, such as Billy
Liar and Arthur
Lydia (rhs) appearing as Fatima in Sinbad the Sailor 1981
Miller’s The Crucible, in which Lydia took the part of Elizabeth.
She joined Hollesley Players in 1981, a year after their inauguration. In her first
pantomime with the company, she took the part of Fatima, the harem girl in
Sinbad the Sailor. The part required her to wear a pink bikini - thus proving
another side to her versatility! In the review which appeared in the local
magazine The Peninsula, she was quoted as being the scheming hand-maiden
Fatima, ably portrayed by Lydia Calvesbert.
Lydia appeared in over sixty productions with the Hollesley Players from 19812013 when she would finally hang up her hat. During this time, she produced
twenty plays and appeared in pantomimes from witch to detective and
part-lead in fish-net tights!

skills with her fellow players.
Wishing to improve their range,
the Hollesley Players attempted a
Restoration comedy The Beaux
Stratagem in the Spring of 1986.
This play was first shown at the
Theatre Royal, now the site of Her
Majesty's Theatre, London, in
1707. Lydia appeared in eighteenth
century costume complete with wig
and crinoline gown!
Lydia’s first production as director with
Hollesley Players was Arnold Wesker’s
Roots, 1984. A play close to her heart,
having appeared in it herself at
Goldsmiths College, this was a new
challenge into which Lydia became
totally immersed, enjoying sharing her

The Happiest Days of Your Life 1982 was the second time Lydia trod the boards
in Hollesley village hall. She took the part played by Margaret Rutherford in the
film version, that of Miss Evelyn Whitchurch, principal of St Swithin’s School
for Girls, a battle-axe wearing a tweed
suit and a pork-pie hat!
Robin Baker
She very much felt it was important
to choose productions which would
Audrey and John Shelcott in Roots
illustrate the diversity of the group’s
many talents. This not only involved the actors, but also those who were
designing sets, props and costumes. In
1996 Lydia produced Sweeney Todd, the
first time the company had attempted a
melodrama - with exaggerated characters
and exciting events intended to appeal to
the emotions. It also tested the range of
skills of the set designers John Maddock
and Jim Wyllie, who specially constructed
a tipping barber’s chair!
The group now went from strength to
strength and put on such productions as:
When We Are Married 1996, which Lydia
chose and produced, in order to bring out further facets of the group’s rapidly
increasing range of capabilities.
Lydia Calvesbert (2nd left) as Mrs
Sullen in The Beaux’ Stratagem
Noel Coward’s Hayfever appeared in 1998 and Letter From the General by
Maurice McLoughlin in 2001. This was a powerful play of conscience about a
group of nuns in a mission station in the Far East in 1950. The country had
been taken over by a harsh communist regime and all foreigners were being
ejected. News had reached the mission that some nuns and priests were

being shot. The remaining nuns had been ordered to leave. However, as they
were harbouring a German missionary priest who had escaped capture, leaving
wasn’t so simple. This was a challenging and thought-provoking piece.
Those who were unable to see either of the
three performances of ‘Verdict’ missed an
excellent production and Lydia and her wellchosen players are to be congratulated on the
result . The set and music were really effective
and all those people who worked behind the
scenes combined to make an evening of suspense and enjoyment. Well done, Hollesley
Players in this your 30th year of productions.
Keep it going!

The year 2010 heralded the 30th anniversary of
Hollesley Players and to celebrate what better
than an Agatha Christie play! Lydia produced
Verdict which received the following review in
Peninsula magazine written by Pat Shannon:
In 2013, Lydia decided the May
production would be her swansong as director. She chose J.B.
Priestley’s An Inspector Calls.
Having taught the play for
years at ‘A’ Level, it gave her a
tremendous amount of pleasure
to bring such an ambitious
project to the local stage.
And so Lydia took her final bow,
but not without the appreciative
thanks of Hollesley Players as stated in a letter from Steve Caulfield (Chair):
Di Barnard plays the murder victim in Verdict
Bravo Lydia - thank you for all the
wonderful memories! Here’s to the
next Hollesley Players production.

Church letter
Dear Friends
Contributed
Christmas is for the
children, is something
we often hear said.
It’s certainly good to
see children enjoying
learning to be generous, to witness their
anticipation and
excitement, to experience the joy of giving
and sharing. Children
have so much to
teach us about hope
and celebration. But
what if providing the
Christmas in Boyton Church
children with a ‘good’
Christmas places a strain on our family relationships or budget? Or perhaps
there aren’t any children in your immediate family. If children are the main
focus of attention and the only ones to benefit at Christmas time, there might
be all sorts of reasons why adults might feel under pressure or excluded by the
festivities. The attitude of Ebenezer Scrooge is quite rare these days – we are
less inclined to stand out from the crowd and make ourselves unpopular,
preferring to go along with the celebrations or quietly escape.
Christmas is certainly about a child – the child Jesus, born in poverty to an
unmarried mother in an occupied country. A child who Christians believe was
God himself; God come to earth as a helpless human baby, to live alongside us
and show us just how much He loves us; to bring home the reality that God’s
spirit, God’s life is not only with us but within each one of us.
Christmas is certainly about a child but it’s not just for the children. Its
message is one of generosity: our responding to God’s generosity to us by
being generous to one another. There are many ways of showing generosity –
not just giving cards and presents to our family and friends; not just in material
things but being generous with our time and giving people we don’t perhaps
like or get on with the ‘benefit of the doubt’. And it need not cost a lot of
money. When we think back over the Christmases of our past, it’s often the
simple things that stand out – simple gifts, homemade and given and received
with love; time spent helping people in need; welcoming someone who’s on
their own to a shared meal. Our generosity and God’s generosity is what makes
Christmas special – and it’s for everyone, not just the children.
I wish you all a blessed Christmas,
Ruth Hatchett

Hollesley School - we love computing!
Everyone’s parents
have had a chance to
come into work with
their children to help
parents understand
what we are learning.
The children were
asked to set out a
trail that the parents
had to get through by
following the instructions that the children
gave them. We wrote
Hollie and Archie coding a robot on the screen
the instructions first and then tested them on our parents - not always easy!
Contributed
We have computing lessons taught by Mr Field who also runs Code Club.
Coding is a name for programming and we learn how to code by using different
methods. At the start of every coding lesson Mr Field gives us a task which we
have to try and complete. It usually involves variables which is the name we
give to a place on the computer where we want to store something. Sometimes
Mr Field shows us what is inside a computer and teaches how programs like
Google work.
We are lucky that we also have the opportunity to take part in coding activities
out of school. There is an annual Raspberry Pi event at Kesgrave High School
and five of us went this year. A Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer that does the
same job as a normal size computer and as part of the event this year we did
all sorts of challenges including soldering! We had to make a light flash when
we pushed a button. We put an LED in a toilet roll that we had stuck a picture
of a robot on and then, using Scratch, we had to make it flash to answer
questions such as how old you were.
Six children from Code Club were also chosen to go to BT to take part in a day
of coding activities called CoSpace. During the day we worked in pairs to code
two virtual robots to move around on the computer screen. Then we uploaded
them onto memory sticks so that we could play against other pairs to see who
got the most points. In the last minute we were meant to teleport to the next
world – this got us lots of points. The three groups that got the most points
had to go on stage and play against each other. We were all very proud of
Hollie and Archie who came second overall.
Lots of us are entering a competition called Animation 16 which is a national
competition for 9-17 year olds. The entry has to be at least a minute long and
about something you’ve learnt in lessons throughout your time in school. The
final is in Manchester in the summer – we’ll let you know how we get on!

Your letters - do please write to us
Dear Editor,
I recently wrote to our MP Dr Therese Coffey, raising
my concern about cuts to tax credits for low income
families. In her reply she explained the reasons in her
view why these changes are necessary but said that anyone
who will be adversely affected by the changes should contact her directly.
Should anyone wish to do so, she has a website: http://theresecoffey.co.uk
and can be contacted by email:[email protected] by phone to:
0207 219 7164 or by letter to the House of Commons SW1A 0AA. Dr Coffey
always answers communications which must include name and address.
Yours sincerely,
Juliet Johnson
Dear Editor,
Cheryl Gray
It was very disappointing to find the gate closed and chained leading into the
woods where the bluebells grow in
spring with a sign saying 'Private, no
right of way'. With only locals walking
the path, surely it would be more
secure, as we could report anything
unusual or suspicious.I can't see what
harm we're doing, does anyone know
the reason for this?
Regards,
Kevin Lambert, Mallard Way
Dear Editor,
On 18th October, Suffolk Strings, conducted by Geoff Lavery, and led by
Wendy Brown gave a wonderful concert in Hollesley Church, playing music by
Albinoni, Handel, Elgar and a charming set of Variations on Nursery Rhymes by
a local Composer Paul Benyon. We are particularly grateful to Micky McBurnie,
a cellist with Suffolk Strings who organised the concert, and to all who came to
it, helping to raise £250 for church funds.
Juliet Johnson
It is with great sadness that we learn of the recent death of the Rev’d Mark
Inman who was Prison Chaplain at Hollesley Bay and Parish Priest at Bawdsey,
Alderton, Ramsholt, Shottisham and Sutton.
We extend our most sincere condolences to his family, friends, ex-parishioners
and all those who knew and worked with him.

Boyton bonfire night

The clouds parted and the stars came out for our bonfire night. The huge
bonfire kept us warm and sausage rolls, parkin, garlic bread and a warming
tipple were passed round. A wonderful show of fireworks too.

Misty forest
Rendlesham Forest early November, and folds of mist drift through the
trees. Birch
glows yellow
against
the backdrop
of a million
dark green
pines.
Autumn is
moving so
strongly you
can smell and
nearly taste the
tannin, dead
leaves and
leaf mould,
and this is a
good time to
be a toadstool.
Bracken is dying in a dozen shades of russet and yellow.
The mist is a
soaking blanket,
and the forest is
a dripping and
silent place.
Sparkling with
moisture, spider
webs curtain the
gorse.
The mist thickens,
the light is fading
and the forest
waits for me to
go.

Hollesley WI
Contributed
On 22 October, four Hollesley members joined other WIs in Ipswich to march
from the Old Cattle Market to County Hall in protest at the lack of bus station
toilet facilities. A large, lively group
of women with banners presented a
petition to the Leader of the Council.
There seems to be a communication
problem between the different councils, so no doubt the campaign will
continue in order to provide comfort
for harassed travellers. The march
was reported in the local media.
That same day, we enjoyed afternoon
tea (luscious cakes!) provided by
Shottisham WI at Sutton Village Hall
Daphne and Joan on the campaign trail
for our Group Event. There was also a talk from Sissinghurst expert Sarah Cook
and Jim Marshal from the National Trust. This is always an opportunity for
groups round the Peninsula to meet and socialize. Some of us attended the
Little Doves charity fundraising afternoon in October at Butley helping to make
up boxes to send to new refugee mothers.
A merry Christmas shopping day in Cambridge, organized and driven by our
capable Gerry Bathe, was most successful, and while some spent their all in the
superb shops, others went to the Ronald Searle exhibition, returning full of
praise. At the time of writing, we await our Annual General Meeting on 12
November and look forward to welcoming some new Committee members.
There will be a full report in the January issue.
The Choir sings at Sutton Hoo on 28 November, while Carol Singing for Church
funds will take place round the village near Christmas. There are WI Carol
Services in Southwold (10 Dec) and Ipswich (17 Dec). Pantomime fun takes
members to Ipswich for the Rock’n’Roll Panto and to Snape for the Co-op Juniors Alice in Wonderland. On 10 December we hold our Christmas evening of
entertainment, fizz and nibbles. A variety of items will be presented by the
Choir, individual members and the Play-reading Group, and we look forward to
a sociable time. Sadly, this is my last report for Hollesley WI as I am standing
down as Press Officer this year. My successor will be decided after the AGM and
I hope that they will enjoy contributing to Village Voices as much as I have
done. Hollesley WI is an active group which tries to encourage women in every
way, working hard to entertain, care for and stimulate its members. It is also
responsive to social issues affecting our community.
If you would like to know more about us, visit our website: sefwi.org.uk/
institute/Hollesley. We meet on the second Thursday of each month in the
Village Hall at 7.30 pm. Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas.

Women in Hebron Palestinian Women’s
Embroidery Co-op.
promoting independence for women in Hebron
Contributed
Back in May this year, people gathered at Sutton Memorial Hall hoping to hear
Nawal Slemiah, a founder member of the Embroidery Co-op, give a talk; also
to browse local artisan’s stalls and the articles produced by Women in Hebron.
Unfortunately, Nawal
was not granted a
visa for that trip but
Melissa Stockdale, a
local woman who
had stayed with
Nawal’s sister in Hebron, was able to
step in to talk about
the amazing resilience and warmth
of the women and
their families living
in the occupied territories of the West
Bank.
Towards the end of
October, I met Nawal
Trish with Nawal Slemiah in London
Slemiah in London to present her with the £110 collected back in May. Nawal
was on a punishing schedule of attending events to promote the embroidery
co-op. At the same time she was deeply concerned about deaths and injuries of
Palestinians during the recent events and frustrated that they were not being
reported widely here.
Nawal told me that the decline in tourists means that they need to find more
ways of selling their work abroad and this is why she travels as much a possible around Europe to promote their work and find outlets.
On this trip to the UK, a woman in Birmingham has offered the use of half of
her shop at a rent of £300 a month so Nawal is asking for pledges of
financial support to cover the rent. Please contact me if you are able to make a
pledge.
The Embroidery Co-op has extended their range from lovely cushions, bags and
clothing to beautiful rugs so do take a look at their website and tell friends and
family about them: http://womeninhebron.com

From the Belfry
Cheryl Gray
November brings with it Remembrance Sunday when we half-muffle the bells.
This is done by attaching leather pads to one side of each the clappers so that
the resulting sound is alternately loud and soft. You may have heard the
solemn tone which gives the impression of an echo.
Remembrance Day wreaths at Hollesley War Memorial
Some of us recently joined in a Suffolk Guild walking and ringing tour of
Norwich. The churches visited ranged from semi-derelict redundant medieval
buildings to the magnificent St Peter Mancroft (the cathedral does not possess
a peal of bells). Later in the month we will attempt to ring a quarter peal (1260
changes) to mark Rev’d Judith Andrews’ retirement from the ministry.
Micky McBurnie has decided to stand down as our tower captain and I have
agreed to take over the reins subject to all the band agreeing. Micky will continue as a valued member of the band and I should like to thank her for the
work she has put into the job.
You may have noticed a plaque on the wall in the South West corner of the
church dated AD1937 marking the presentation 80 years ago of the ring of 8
bells by Col Sir John Jervis White Jervis and his wife Margaret in thanksgiving
for 50 years of marriage. We would like to celebrate this anniversary with some
special ringing if possible and accordingly we are looking for anyone who would
be interested in learning to ring to join us, so that the art of change-ringing
continues into the future. Please contact me, Peter Harper, on 01394 411355
or just turn up at any of our Friday practices. You will be assured of a warm
welcome.

From our country kitchen
Beetroot Fritters with Gravlax
(from Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries 2)
Gravlax is salmon cured with herbs
and usually comes in a pack with a sachet of mustard sauce. If you use ordinary smoked salmon there is a
recipe for dressing. The recipe makes
6 fritters which is a hearty lunch for 2
or 3 people.
250g beetroot
1 medium onion, red if possible
1 egg, beaten
2 dessert spoons plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
300g gravlax or smoked salmon
Scrub the beetroots and pare off any discoloured bits. Grate them coarsely,
trying to make the strands as long as possible, on to a couple of sheets of
kitchen paper. Squeeze to remove any excess moisture and put into a bowl.
Peel and halve the onion, then slice very thinly and stir into the beetroot.
Season with salt and pepper and add the flour and beaten egg. Mix well.
I used 2x7inch non-stick frying pans, putting a spoonful of oil in each and
heating up. Roughly divide the mixture into 6 and drop 3 portions into each
pan. Flatten them with a fish slice, then leave to cook over a moderate heat for
3 or 4 minutes, till just starting to crisp. Flip them over and cook the other
side. Serve on warmed plates.
Cut the gravlax or salmon into large slices and divide among the fritters. Spoon
over the dressing. A recipe for the dressing: whisk together 1 tablespoon each
of grain and Dijon mustard with 2 tablespoons each of chopped dill, rapeseed
oil and water.

Just42’s Hollesley Youth Club
Just42 have been running our mobile youth sessions in Hollesley since early
2012. Each week we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of the young
people, through providing a place to meet, socialise, have fun and be themselves. These sessions have been running out of our converted minibus which
we have been parking near the village hall.
Contributed
With the growing popularity
of our sessions it was time
for a change and in the
middle of November, with the
support of the Parish Council,
we re-launched in the
Hollesley Village Hall. This is
a fantastic opportunity for
the young people of the
villages and we are thrilled
with all of the opportunities
that this opens up for us. Not
just for warmth and light!
Neil Fox working with a group from Just42
The new youth club is open most weeks on Wednesday evenings in the Village
Hall. Any young people in school years 7-13 (aged 11-18) are welcome to join.
Please come along for a game of pool, table tennis, listen to music, play on our
big screen Xbox One and much more. Please note, there are some weeks when
the Hall is unavailable, so please check the website for more details:
www.just42.org.uk/Hollesley.
It is also time for me personally to say goodbye, having recently left Just42
after four years of running youth clubs and drop-in sessions around the area. It
has been fantastic working with the community in Hollesley and I will miss you
all. Just42 are in the process of finding someone to replace me to ensure the
new youth club can continue as usual. (I’ll tell the new person to introduce
themselves in Village Voices when they start!). Please continue to support the
young people of these villages, they’re a great bunch!
Remember! Youth Club, Wednesday evenings in the Village Hall
Merry Christmas!

Hollesley Emergency Plan
An emergency plan is, in greater part, a directory of people and organisations
having skills, resources or general willingness to move into action to help the
community in a crisis. This directory is not made available to the general
public. Only key organisers would have access to volunteers’ contact details.
Threats could be tidal surge, heavy rain or snow, high winds, trees down, roads
blocked, electricity failure or fire.
The plan needs:
Road-clearing and other heavy jobs – strong people, tractor drivers, chainsaw
operators, other tools, equipment and heavy vehicle owners.
First aid and care – first-aiders, nurses, carers to look in on vulnerable people.
Coordination and communication – team leaders, area wardens, others with
specialised expertise.
Are you willing to put your name forward?
Swallows Close junction Thanks to all the people who contacted SCC Highways to report their experiences at this junction. Due to the number and
nature of the reports SCC Highways have reversed their decision and have
agreed to install give way markings.'People power' can work!

Advertorial - Cambridge Weight Plan
I had always had a problem with how I
looked from an early age and had low
self-esteem about my appearance. In
January 2015, I turned 45 and was at my
unhappiest as far as my image was
concerned. Unbeknown to me, my
partner was having a similar personal
struggle and had researched the most
effective and quickest way to shed some
pounds. Cambridge Weight Plan was
the answer.
We made an appointment with a
Consultant in Colchester and made a
commitment to begin our journey
together. From the moment we began,
there was no looking back.
Pounds visibly dropped away each week; In 2
months I had reached my goal and lost 2 stone.
Two months later my partner hit the goal we had
been waiting for and there we were, 6 stone lighter
between us and a thousand times happier and
healthier. This was by far, the best thing we had
done in a long time.
It wasn’t long after that I decided to become a
Consultant myself. Since May, 2015, I have seen
10 clients lose between 1 stone and 4 stone.
Seeing the transformation each week is as much as
a thrill now as it was when I was losing weight.
If you are fed up with carrying those extra pounds
and you want a no fuss approach to dieting, give
me a call. CWP’s policy provides you with 1:1 consultations and support whenever, wherever you
need it. With tasty products at a reasonable price
there are no more excuses. This is the quickest,
most effective way to lose weight – with 100%
commitment comes the optimum way to lose on
average, 1 stone every month.

News from Boyton Mission
Remember that? I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
what about that? It’ll soon be upon us, toys, decorations, food, it’s all in the stores now, all these musthaves for a really happy Christmas, and whilst I don’t
go for the commercial bits I love it, especially for
children. All the carols and the mince pies and the
candles, great stuff. The birth of Jesus, made such a
change in the lives of the shepherds and wise men and
all who saw him, all who followed his story and miracles.
Contributed
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat.
At Boyton Mission we’ll be having a Christmas service on the 20th December
at 3.00 in the afternoon, carols and stories and all that stuff. Come along and
join us do. Children - did you know that Santa, the bags of coins and all the
presents come from the Christmas story? Happy Christmas everyone!
