Throughout the autumn and winter, the Blyth Valley and Southwold wildlife group, organise monthly meetings where they invite guest speakers to present on various topics of interest. Here, Penny Mansfield reports on their October meeting.

Suffolk Shingle – Tales of Treasure and Trash

Our October meeting of the Southwold and Blyth Valley Wildlife Trust group was a little different this month. Kate Osborne gave a lively presentation, “Tales of Treasure and Trash”, about life on the shingle on our Suffolk beaches She brought a wide variety of examples of the good and the bad to be found. On the positive side, we have some of the best vegetated shingle habitat in the UK: plants such as sea kale have adapted to have roots that are two metres long, but low-growing plants are more vulnerable, and to be avoided while walking. Treasures such as sea glass and hag stones can be found, but driftwood and seaweed are home to microscopic life that feeds other creatures and are best left alone.

We were encouraged to pick up litter wherever we see it. We had a quiz, a jar of varied “treasures” to identify, which aroused much discussion, and was fun. The “trash” of plastic debris in all its forms, and the continuing problem of sewage and chemical pollution was the negative side of this subject, and one that affects us all.

It was an engaging, participatory evening, and one that gave us a practical insight to the highs and lows of beachcombing.
Our next talk is on Thursday, November 9th at 7.30pm, at the Southwold Arts Centre, IP 18 6JP. Tony Brown will be talking about the Broads and its Wildlife. Admission £4, to include refreshment. Under 25s free. All are welcome.

Voluntary Help Centre

Registered Charity No. 1164155

It could be you!  Whether you are joining us as a volunteer or needing help from a volunteer, the VHC welcomes you all.

The VHC has been in the community for over 30 years and needs volunteers to help with requests for transport as well as for the non-driving requests, such as the fortnightly Lunch Club.

Volunteering with the VHC does not commit anyone to a regular schedule.  All volunteers decide for themselves when and how often they wish to help out, making volunteering as flexible as they are.  Volunteer drivers also receive 45p per mile per journey undertaken.

In particular, volunteers are needed in Walberswick, Blythburgh, Wangford and Wrentham areas, to help meet journey requests from those villages.

So why not join the VHC and be a volunteer before you need a volunteer?

Come and talk to us at the Stella Peskett Millennium Hall and see how you can help, or phone us on (01502) 724549

Author Janet Gershlick talks about how and why she wrote her book “Southwold: A Place to Love” and an online book called ‘When The Sky Falls In’ (Janettalks.com)

Monday 27^th November 11.00am @ Southwold Library

Janet has lived in Southwold, Suffolk for over twenty years. She arrived at a time of her life when she was looking for both a change and new beginnings. When working as a radio presenter on Talk Radio UK she opened a map of the country looking for a place to live and with ‘help’ decided on Southwold. She visited for the weekend and twenty five years later…!!  Janet says: “When I first arrived in Southwold many years ago I knew I had found my place. I have loved it ever since and it has seen me through many life changes and events. I looked around and saw that many others had an immense love of Southwold.  The names of the beach huts and the inscriptions of loved ones on the benches and those tiny brass plaques on the pier. 

People wanting to share history, stories and memories. To leave behind a footprint. I knew then that I had to write to record and acknowledge the people and their stories”.

She will also talk about the rather strange incident that led her to Southwold, her need to write – her next project and her experiences when she wrote a performance piece that she took to Edinburgh Fringe.

Janet will be reading from both books and explaining the backstory of both books.  Signed copies of ‘Southwold: A Place To Love’ will be available to buy.

Free event, no booking required.

When Birds Sing

At our September meeting of the Blyth Valley and Southwold Suffolk Wildlife group, we welcomed Saffron Summerfield to talk about the nature of bird song. Saffron is a musician, composer, and bird song recordist, who sometimes incorporate birdsong into her work. She started the evening with a folk song about the cuckoo to intrigue us, and followed this by exploring some of the reasons birds sing – to establish territories, or attract a mate, but also for fun, as some recent research shows.

The way birds produce sound, through their syrinx, a bellow-like structure, can create considerable volume, as we know from listening to the tiny wren. Tone and pitch vary widely, from the goldcrest at the high end, to the bittern’s boom at the low end, audible for up to three miles.

Whilst most birds learn to sing from their parents, possibly while still unhatched, there are exceptions, and others might learn from different adults. The extraordinary marsh warbler learns a variety of bird songs along its route from East Africa and can reproduce them in an unbroken rill that can last for half an hour, in its efforts to beat its rivals in the mating game.

Recorded birdsong can have a calming effect and has been used in public spaces for this reason, and many musicians have been fascinated and inspired to use bird songs in their work.

The evening ended with Saffron playing a beautiful recording of a robin singing, with her guitar and quiet verbal accompaniment. It was a stimulating evening, and very much enjoyed.

Compassionate Care: Planning for your Future

Monday 25th September 2-4pm @ Southwold Library.

A previous attendant said “We attended the talk on Compassionate Care Planning and thoroughly recommend it to others. We both found it informative, helpful and not at all depressing!  It was useful to be given the range of decisions we all to need to make and how to record them. The speaker was sensitive to the issues discussed and encouraged dialogue and questions.”

The Reydon Show 2023 was brilliantly attended this year with lots of people entering across the categories and large numbers coming to see all the lovely entries.

With last year’s heatwave well behind us we had a great number of entries across the fruit and vegetable classes, though the heavy rain made some of the cut flower classes tricky!

The categories that were less weather dependent proliferated and it was amazing to see all the baked goods, art, photography and handicrafts. 

The kids’ creativity was delightful and we would encourage even more children to enter the free kids’ categories next year – they can enter any arts and craft including 3D models and Lego!  There will also be new kids’ cookery and gardening categories next year. 

So, when you are planning you 2024 planting or embarking on some arts and crafts remember the first Saturday in August will be the Reydon Show next year.
