New people onboard at Lowestoft Lifeboat Station

The crew at Lowestoft lifeboat station have gained some new personnel this year.

Paul Gray is the station's new Lifeboat Sea Safety Officer, responsible for local safety and prevention activity including promoting the Sea Check service, giving demonstrations to local sailing clubs and marinas and recruiting other volunteer sea safety advisors.

Meanwhile, Lifeboat Operations Manager Richard Musgrove joined at the start of the year. Richard is the Deputy Harbourmaster in Lowestoft and a pilot in the harbour responsible for escorting large ships into the port.

Richard has a long history with the RNLI, having first joined the Lowestoft crew in 1988. He has also served as Deputy Launching Authority in Lowestoft and Harwich.

Richard says: ‘I am proud to be the Lifeboat Operations Manager at Lowestoft. The town still has an important tie to the sea and the lifeboat station plays a pivotal role in keeping the people of Lowestoft and those that visit safe.'

‘CRY FREEDOM!’ charity concert, Colchester, 21 June 2008

On Saturday 21 June at 7.30pm

in St Leonard’s Church,
Lexden Road, Colchester, Essex

Quire will present a very special concert entitled
‘CRY FREEDOM'!

featuring music from Africa and around the world to raise funds a community in Ghana supported by the charity Friends of Tafo. The Africa themed concert is a wonderful way to end the day when St Leonard’s fete held during the afternoon also raises funds for Africa.

‘CRY FREEDOM!’

featuring African freedom songs
sung by Nelson Mandela and friends

QUIRE Colchester’s sensational world music community choir of approx 60 voices is delighted to present an inspirational concert featuring African songs of hope and struggle born out of the oppression of apartheid era, songs sung by freedom seekers like Nelson Mandela and many others who fought for their right to freedom.

Small change can make a big change in Kwahu-Tafo. For example, going to school costs £7 a year, but 300 children come from families who can't afford that, so charity Friends of Tafo run a Needy Pupils Fund. The children's joy at not being excluded is palpable. For bigger sums bigger things are possible :

• £12 buys a bicycle
• £ 300 cleans up a well
• £ 8,000 builds a school library - and there's everything in between!

“The great thing about giving to Kwahu-Tafo is that your donation goes where it's meant to, and you see results” says Humphrey, Tafo’s Development Chief.

“We’re absolutely delighted to present CRY FREEDOM! at St Leonard’s Church where Quire will celebrate the songs of achievement by people fighting for their rights. It is fitting that in this special concert, Quire will be raising funds for the people of Kwahu-Tafo, a community in Ghana, supported by the charity Friends of Tafo. I can promise everyone who comes on Sat 21 June a night to remember!” says Professor Bill Tamblyn, Quire’s Music Director “An evening with Quire is a unique experience where audiences are positively encouraged to join in, clap and even sing and dance in the aisles and enjoy world music!”.

Audiences will experience Quire’s exuberant performance as over 60 singers in four part harmony perform in languages from around the world including African: Zulu, Shona, Khosa; New Zealand : Maori, Hispanic, Jamaican, Dutch and more.

Halesworth Lions Carnival & Fete

Sunday 8th June 2008

It’s time to get those thinking caps on. This years Carnival has even more chances for you to win. As well as the usual charity and trade classes for floats we have added an extra class for walkers, this is for youth organisations.

Now you have four choices each class will have a first prize of £50 and second prize of £25 plus they all have the chance to steal the Best Entry Plaque from the Fire Service!!!

The procession will meet as usual at Bramfield Industrial Estate but will set off earlier at 1p.m. following it’s usual route up Bramfield Rd, down London Rd, the wrong way along the Thoroughfare and then into the town car park ready for the fete to official start at 2pm. Although the official start isn’t till 2pm the park will be full of stalls and games from 10.30am.

After the procession why not enter the children’s fancy dress competition classes are 0-5yrs,6-11yrs and 12 to 15 yrs great prizes in every class. If the fancy dress is not for you then bring your pet along for the ever popular pet show once more sponsored by Nolly’s Pet Shop and Skinners of Stradbroke.

We rounded up more Ducks then ever before for last years Duck race and still sold out, so there are more flying in for this year, but I suggest you still get your tickets as as they go on sale so your not disappointed, first prize is £100 kindly donated by Allens the Butchers.

Your money goes to very worthwhile causes, unfortunately we all know someone who has had to use their services. This years nominated charity is the Guide Dogs for the Blind. So please continue your wonderful support of your local Lions Club and join as for a great day out.
