HinT is joining with the Halesworth Town Council Jubilee Committee, Vision (Mencap), and Skip Bunting to make sure that the town is full of colour for the Jubilee by re-using what we’ve already got in plenty - your old material.

Not just for the Jubilee, also good for the Olympics, summer fetes, school events, and your own back garden.

HinT’s purpose is to support actions that mean our town can meet its energy needs without oil which is more and more expensive, hard to get out of the ground, and damaging to use. So instead of new plastic bunting, we'll be upcyling old material into new. And if we're really going to fill the Thoroughfare, it could take as much as a mile. That's a huge number of pennants to sew.

We'll end up with colourful bunting (not all red, white and blue, Vision is leading on patriotic-coloured pennants) for many events.

Come and cut and sew, and bring us your material :

Take red, white & blue fabric to Vision (Chediston St / Market Place) and anything at all to the Library for HinT.

Yes? Then come to two short talks with Mik Bedson of Suffolk

ACRE and Gemma Sayers, East of England Food Co-ops

Adviser for Sustain/The Food Co-ops Project.

Who? Suffolk ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural

England) has been working for nearly 80 years to help

communities in Suffolk make partnerships and tackle their

needs through community action.

Are there opportunities here in Halesworth?
The Food Co-ops Project has supported hundreds of

communities across the UK to set up their own food

co-operative over the last 5 years, as part of the

Making Local Food Work programme.

Here? Want to get food at affordable prices, have some say

over how it’s produced and what’s been done to it?

Come along and find out how others have done this.

Could something be done in and around our town?

Welcome to Suffolk Artlink’s December 2011 newsletter, in which artist, Filomena Cristallino, talks about her work with us as a Clown Doctor. 

Clown Doctors:
Back row – left to right: Dr Professor Hadron Klutz (Cosmo Hardy),
Dr Fillie Fidget (Filomena Cristallino), Dr Hyacinth Haystack (Vicki Weitz)
Front row: Dr Christobell Misschief (Chris Draude) and Dr Gertude
(Senior Consultant).

I can honestly say that when it’s one of my clown doctor days, I always wake up with the biggest grin on my face before leaping out of bed and heading for the shower.

The night before I will have made sure my clown doctor coat is nice and clean and the pockets stuffed full to bursting with the props I might be using.  If you were a pick-pocket you’d find a Kazoo, Harmonica, pink silk scarves, multiplying rabbits, rocket balloons, magic tricks and most importantly, Twinkle the puppet star, loved by young and old alike.

As a clown doctor I make sure my props trolley (mine is bright pink with black spots) has all the other paraphernalia needed for a busy day. Sometimes everything comes out of the bag and gets used and at other times only a few bits and pieces see the light of day. With our work you never know what to expect, so being able to improvise with anything that comes to hand, is very handy and you might be amazed or dare I say, even impressed, by what we can do with a paper sick bowl and a bed pan! (it’s always good to check they are unused first though!)

If I’m working at the Ipswich Hospital I usually meet my colleague Chris Draude aka Dr. Misschief, in the car park and we then make our way to the children’s department for a hand over with the play specialist team. In the handover they give us a run down of the children they would like us to visit, during which I am usually itching to get changed because there are children out there waiting to see us. We then go off to transform ourselves into clown doctors, my changing room, if it’s free, is a bathroom down the corridor from the play room. We don’t wear clown make up, but we do have nice shiny red noses and colourful headbands. The nose can always come off if a child or adult is a little wary of clowns and we can use it as a prop instead.

Chris and I then meet up again in the play room and greet each other as our new personas Dr. Misschief and Dr. Fidget. If there are children in the play room, we introduce ourselves to them and have a little sing song before getting our trolleys and making our way in a cloud of bubbles and harmonica music to the next patient. We are always mindful not to get in the way of any medical staff, but are always on hand if they need our help, in particular with distraction from a medical procedure. 

There really isn’t a typical day on the wards as each day is different, but we always make sure if a child is a regular patient, we know their name and spend some time with them doing their favourite thing which could be anything from singing a song, doing some magic or teaching some circus skills.

By the time we leave, we will have seen all the children on our list; they will have received a heart or animal shaped balloon, a sticker and sometimes some homework given out by Dr. Misschief. Our homework is always welcome, as it’s usually a lovely picture to colour in and keep.

We then go back to our changing rooms and revert back to being ourselves before saying our goodbyes to the staff.
