All you ever wanted to know about
being a retained FireFighter in Suffolk
being a retained FireFighter in Suffolk
A little bit of everything . . .Last night was our weekly drill night and we had the chance to get off station to carry out an interesting exercise.
Pete Brown and Ian McMillan took charge of the incident which was based on the disused shop and toilet complex and the bottom of The Ravine, in Lowestoft.The scenario was that a young lad had got onto the roof, started a fire (which involved gas cylinders) and had then injured himself up on the roof - having suspected spinal injuries.
Ladder 2 were first in and got water onto the cylinders from a line of 45 and then from a ground monitor. They then started planning the rescue and we arrived on the PRT to assist. I was driver and pump operator on the PRT and we gave our tank of water to Ladder 2 while the hydrant was being setup and fed to us.
The water pressure from the hydrants in that area have no pressure and it takes an age to fill your tank. At the same time you're trying to keep the other pump supplied with enough water to keep the ground monitor going.
Up on the roof and improvised method of lowering the casualty in the scoop was being devised. After a few adjustments this went very smoothly with the casualty making a gentle descent to ground level.
Time then to make up all the gear, have a debrief and back to Normanshurst for 2100 hours.
I think the general opinion amongst all of us is that we should do more off-site drills. After all we are unlikely to attend a real incident at the drill tower at Normanshurst!
Don't try this at home!
I think this was filmed in Finland . . .
I suppose they carried out a full Risk Assessment, decided the whole thing was potentially lethal and then thought, "What the hell, let's just do it" - but in Finnish, of course . . .

Semi-Final, Second Leg

Whitley Bay 3-0 Lowestoft Town (3-4 on Agg.)
Smith 4, Robinson 8, Chow 19
FinalSunday 11 May 2008
Wembley Stadium
Lowestoft Town v Kirkham & Wesham
The Trawlerboys held a comfortable 4-0 lead after the first leg but were left dumbstruck as Whitley raced to a 3-0 lead within 19 minutes.Despite laying siege to the visitors’ goal, Whitley were unable to find the crucial fourth to send the tie into extra time as Lowestoft limped across the finishing line to secure their place at Wembley.
Whitley knew they had a mammoth task ahead in overturning the four-goal deficit, but got off to a dream start as Brian Smith found the back of the net with just four minutes gone.
Joint manager Ady Gallagher had warned against complacency going into Saturday’s second-leg and could only watch as his side crumbled under constant pressure.
The home side’s advantage was doubled on eight minutes through Paul Robinson and, when Paul Chow scored another on 19 minutes, Lowestoft had all but surrendered their first-leg advantage.
Robinson in particular was the scourge of the Lowestoft defence as he dropped deep to cause chaos in the visitors’ rearguard.
Shell-shocked Lowestoft enjoyed more possession in the second half, but it was Whitley who were full of running, sensing what had at first seemed an unlikely victory.
But the visitors dug in and clung to their slender advantage to book a famous date at Wembley.
Joint manager Ady Gallagher admits he cannot wait to lead his side out at Wembley.
“I am very excited,” he said.
“We can now start to think about Wembley as I haven’t allowed my players to do so up until now. It hasn’t really sunk in yet but I am so proud of them all.”
Gallagher was full of praise for his side despite a nervous start to the match, explaining: “We stuck together. We were resilient, and after half time the players started believing in themselves again.
“It was like the Alamo really. But what I am proud of is that our team didn’t buckle under that pressure.”

Local success as a dozen newly-qualified nurses achieve posts at TrustTwelve mental health nurses who recently qualified from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich have been offered posts at Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
All 21 students qualifying from the mental health nursing course at the UEA this year were offered a job interview by the Trust, and of the 18 newly-qualified nurses who came to be interviewed during February, the majority have now been offered fixed-term or substantive posts. The remaining nurses were approved and recommended to join the Trust’s nurse bank, which is an internal temping system to cover a variety of nursing posts within the Trust and is in regular use.
The 12 applicants awarded dedicated posts will be employed in a variety of roles across the mental health trust, including forensic care (for people referred by the court system), older people, community teams and the Trust’s Alcohol and Drugs Service (TADS).
One of the new posts will also dedicate a percentage of its time to supporting the infection control work at the Trust, which is part of a larger government drive throughout the NHS.
Sarah Robson, Deputy Director of Nursing and Patient Safety at Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: “It is an exciting time of year for the Trust, employing new nurses who have qualified locally.
“It is particularly relevant that we can offer redesigned posts, for example to help meet the national directive for infection control. As a mental health trust, we do not carry the same infection risks as a general hospital would, but we still take our responsibility for infection control very seriously.”
The 12 newly qualified nurses are due to start working at the Trust by the end of March. They have all qualified as registered mental health nurses through the three-year UEA course in Norwich.

Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts
Celebrates 30 Years
The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, at the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, first opened its doors on the 4 April 1978.
This April the Centre celebrates its 30th birthday with a call for people's memories of the Centre, free entry to the current special exhibition Cloth & Culture NOW, a special First Sunday for families and more.
Site meeting for display case mock-up
The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts was built to house the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection of modern European and world art which was given to the University of East Anglia by Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury in 1973.
The Sainsbury Centre was designed by the then up-and-coming Norman Foster and is recognised as his first public building.
Over 30 years the architecture and activities have evolved, however the Sainsburys’ original vision still underpins the displays and philosophy of the life of the Centre.
Celebrations in April
Birthday weekend celebrations will begin on Friday 4 April with free entry for every visitor to the Cloth & Culture NOW exhibition and this will continue for the subsequent 2 days. On Sunday 6 April the First Sunday for families, entitled Birthday Bonanza, will offer special activities and celebrations throughout the day - ideal for children 4 to 12 years (see Notes to Editors for full information).
Celebrations continue throughout April, during which time there will be free 30-years balloons and stickers for family visitors as well as a special 30-year collection of stories for children to enjoy when exploring the galleries. Anybody with a birthday during 1978 will be able to gain free entry to the special exhibition, Cloth & Culture NOW, throughout the month (please bring proof of age).
As part of the celebrations, the Sainsbury Centre is would like to people to share their memories of the Centre over the last 30 years. This could be re-collections of a visit, an exhibition or simply a fun experience shared with friends or staff. There will be a memories table in the gallery during April where people can leave a card with their memories and a special new page will be set-up on the website where people can also leave their own memories and read those of others - visit www.scva.org.uk. At the end of the month the memories will be ‘put in a hat’ and a name drawn – the winner will receive a £50 voucher to spend in the gallery shop. If people have photographs they would like the Centre to have copies of, they should call 01603 593199 so arrangements can be made.

The past 30 years
"I had been wondering whether Norfolk realises just what it has got"
- Sir Norman Reid, Director of the Tate Gallery 1964 - 1979, commenting on the opening of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in 1978
The Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection is primarily shown in a gallery known as the Living Area, where European Art is interspersed with works from across the globe spanning 5,000 years of human creativity. It was Sir Robert’s hope that students, academics and members of the public might enjoy the collection very much as he and Lady Sainsbury had done in their own home. The Sainsbury Centre has not deviated from Sir Robert’s vision, the most recent re-display of the collection just prior re-opening the building in May 2006, still reflects his ideals: allowing people to enjoy the aesthetic beauty of the Collection and make their own comparisons between the objects. The works are displayed in cases which allow people to view them very closely from all angles.

The collection reflects the Sainsburys’ friendships with artists such as Henry Moore, Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon. Suzanne Deakin, a volunteer guide at the Sainsbury since 1978 describes the period after the Centre first opened: "It was a very exciting time - Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury would often bring artists with them to visit such as Henry Moore, Lucy Rie, John Davies and Hans Coper. It's amazing how they knew so many budding artists, nurtured and supported them". The collection also includes works by Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas and Amedeo Modigliani. Many of these artists drew their inspiration from world art, a fascination for which they shared with the Sainsburys.
Born out of a dialogue between the benefactors and the architect, the Sainsbury Centre was, in 1978, extremely experimental in origins and continues today to challenge preconceptions about museums. It is, in effect, a gallery without walls.
"There is only one Sainsbury Centre, you do not go there and say, 'I feel I've seen that building somewhere else before!’ It is very specific. It could only have come out of the dialogue with Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury, the character of their collection and that site at that point of time. Together with structural engineer Tony Hunt and lighting consultant George Sexton we developed a clear design philosophy, based on the Sainsbury's views abut the relationship between art and its setting"
- Lord Foster.

The Sainsburys’ desire was to create a building that could accommodate a broad variety of activity under one roof: teaching, temporary exhibitions, collections and dining. This unusual approach was to create an environment condusive to the cross-fertilisation of ideas and has resulted in a unique atmosphere. In 2008 the public programme links closely with teaching activity in the School of World Art and Museology (WAM) and the Sainsbury Research Unit (SRU), which are both based in the Centre.

The flexibility of the architecture has allowed for expansion of the building to meet the needs of users. In 1991 the Crescent Wing extension was added providing additional display space, office space and other back-of-house facilities. Another of phase of building, completed in May 2006, created a link between the original 1978 building and the Crescent Wing and gave the Centre additional exhibition space, a state-of-the-art education studio and a fabulous gallery shop.

The Sainsbury Centre has kept the collections at the heart of what it does. The 5 to 6 temporary exhibitions each year all in some way connect to the works, cultures and themes represented in the collection. The extensive education and events programme also has these links.
“At the heart of it all is the importance of the objects and our desire to share our enjoyment of them. I am delighted to have been able to do this through the Centre and celebrate the marvellous way in which the life of Collection has flourished"
- Lady Sainsbury.

“It’s hard to believe that the Sainsbury Centre is 30 years old. In that time, we’ve grown to become one of the country’s outstanding university museums and a unique centre for displaying and studying art from all over the world. Perhaps our greatest public achievement is the part we’ve played in UEA’s growing community engagement, with visits by hundreds and thousand of local people”

Black Dog Art Trail
Bungay
This April Waveney will hold its first ever district wide festival – for local people and tourists. The festival, the Waveney Revels is the brainchild of Waveney District Council’s Arts & Heritage Service Manager, Andrew Kitchen.
Thanks to Suffolk County Council’s financial support, April will also see the first “Black Dog Art Trail”, put on by Bungay’s new art group, Black Dog Arts.
The trail will feature original artworks of Bungay people as they go about their everyday business. Bungay people shopping in Bungay shops, enjoying a pint in a Bungay pub, or a cuppa in a café. Bungay people in the post office or changing a book in Bungay library.
Forty artworks will be created by ten local artists from “Black Dog Arts”, who will produce their pictures with the help of the trail’s Artistic Director, internationally acclaimed artist Bruer Tidman.
The Black Dog Artists will spend some of their March mornings, afternoons or evenings sitting at their easels or sketchbooks in one or other of Bungay’s shops, pubs, cafes or other buildings, sketching the interiors and the building’s staff and users. They may also take photos to use when they develop their drawings.
They will then work up their sketches into finished artworks for exhibition from Saturday 5th to Saturday 26th April (inclusive) in the places that inspired them.
The Black Dog Art Trail will involve twenty shops and other business premises and community buildings in the town. These twenty places will become the “galleries” for the forty original pictures.
Local people and visitors will be able to see these unique artworks in shop windows or inside hanging on the walls of shops and other everyday Bungay places.
A map of the trail will be produced showing where each of the artworks is. A quiz will also be created to encourage local people and visitors to find each of the pictures and answer questions. The correct quiz entries will be entered in a prize draw and a local celebrity will pick the winning ticket on Monday 28 April.

Cibelle (pronounced "See-bell-ee") is one of the most seductively original artists to emerge from the Brazilian scene. Singer, composer, poet, video artist... Cibelle is chameleon-like in her ability to change her music’s subtle directions as well as her appearance.
Her sound can be described as enigmatic and utterly Brazilian yet, in the same breath, it can then be said that nobody else sounds quite like her. Cibelle’s combination of the bossa-nova sound with a more experimental approach to making music has opened up seemingly limitless possibilities.
