Did earthquake damage Raydon Church? Significant cracks have been found in the roof space above the Chancel Arch at St Mary’s, Raydon. This allowed movement to occur in the surrounding plaster, leaving unsightly cracks and falling debris. Was the earthquake of 22nd April 1884 to blame? As a result of several years fund raising, and several generous donations, enough money has been found to undertake the repairs. Thanks also to a generous grant from the Landfill Communities Fund, which is managed by Viridor Credits Environmental Company, a long-term worry for the Parochial Church Council is now satisfactorily resolved. The work was undertaken by John Partridge and his team at PNJ Builders Ltd. They have previously worked on creating a lavatory in the church, which has given much confidence that the project would be undertaken in a timely, professional manner. Church Architect, David Whymark, provided his support and expertise. The Churchwardens said “Thanks to John’s efficiency the work was complete in time for the Baptism of the great grandchild of one of our loyal parishioners”. Everyone in Raydon is now hoping there will not be another earthquake for many years to come!

Dementia Awareness Week is coming! May 19th - 26th As more of us are living to a ripe old age, we are becoming more aware of the challenges that come in later life; most of us know someone who is affected by dementia - friend, neighbour, parent, spouse... What was once a feared and misunderstood condition is one we are becoming better at living with. We have learned that many of the most worrying aspects of dementia are caused by people not knowing how to respond or help, so we can all make a huge difference every day. This is why the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance has been working for two years now to make Hadleigh a friendly place in which to get older. In that time we have signed up 39 Dementia Friendly Businesses whose staff now understand better how to serve their customers who are finding it difficult to stay independent. We have trained nearly 1800 Dementia Friends who now understand better how they can make life a little easier for family, friends and neighbours. We are now supporting local social groups - churches, lunch clubs, physical activities - to ensure their activities are inclusive of people affected by dementia. And in May, Dementia Awareness Week is a great opportunity for the whole community to find out a little more about how they can help or get involved. We’ll be at the Hadleigh Show, right at the start of the week, so you can come and ask questions, pick up leaflets - and plant a seed! We’ll be holding info and awareness sessions at Ipswich Building Society, Paddy & Scotts and the Market. And we’ll have open social sessions in the Ansell Centre and other locations. And even a quiz night at the British Legion to raise funds. There really is something for everyone! So keep an eye open for news nearer the time; and if you want to know more about the regular activities, or how to help during the week, please get in touch: hadleighdementiafriends@ssleisure.co.uk We look forward to meeting you in May

Appeal for new bladder scanner at Ipswich Hospital My name is Jenny Skippen and I live at Elmsett. I am appealing for your support to raise money for a new bladder scanner for the gynaecology department at Ipswich Hospital. The present scanner is in America for a minimum of 6 months undergoing repairs. This obviously causes a lot of inconvenience for the staff as they have to spend much of their time trying to borrow one from other departments, and delaying diagnosis and treatment for the patients. A new scanner costs about ÂŁ2500, and I have promised the department I will raise as much money as I can to go towards that. On Thursday April 19th there will be a Coffee morning/Raffle at Elmsett Methodist Church, Hadleigh Road, Elmsett from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. If anybody would like to donate cakes, raffle prizes or their time helping out we will be extremely grateful. If it’s just a cup of tea and a bun and a bit of a chat we will be very pleased to see you. On Sunday May 27th I will be doing a zipwire challenge, launching myself from 10 floors up off the maternity block at Ipswich Hospital. Where the zipwire finishes I have no idea – one bright spark suggested Accident and Emergency! For this I have set up a justgiving,com account. It is very user friendly – just put in justgiving,com and then enter my name under ‘search’. If anyone feels able to sponsor me, both I and the gynaecology department will be eternally grateful. Jenny Skippen

Thankyou Thankyou to the very kind person who took my shopping nag back into Morrisons when I left it on the trolley. Molly Leathers

Sunday 29th April 2018, 6.00 p.m. at St Peter’s, Sudbury Margaret Faultless violin Steven Devine harpsichord Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonatas for violin and harpsichord Our series of Bach’s chamber music continues with sonatas from the great set for violin and obbligato harpsichord BWV 1014-1019. With these groundbreaking works, written in the early 1720s, Bach modernised the Baroque trio sonata, elevating the role of the harpsichord from accompanist to equal partner with the violin. They have always been admired for the exhilarating drive and energy of their fugal fast movements and the lyricism of their adagios. Steven Devine also plays Bach’s scintillating Italian Concerto and the rarely performed Aria variata all maniera Italiana BWV 989, a youthful anticipation of the Goldberg Variations. Margaret Faultless is one Britain’s most distinguished and sought-after violinists specialising in period performance. She is co-leader of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Head of Historical Performance at the Royal Academy and Director of Studies for the European Union Baroque Orchestra. Steven Devine is the leading British harpsichordist of his generation, and performs regularly at the Festival. He plays a copy by Colin Booth of a harpsichord made by J.C. Fleischer of Hamburg in 1710, the sort of instrument used by the Bach family. Box Office: www.suffolkvillagesfestival.com 01206 366603, box@suffolkvillagesfestival.com

Deadline for copy is the 18th of each and every month A total of 18800 copies of these Community News Magazines are delivered during the first week of each month

Have you heard about Care Navigation? The role of the receptionist in our surgeries is evolving, changing and expanding. As part of the valuable work they do they will ensure that patients are directed to the right person for their particular need at the right time and the right place. This means our reception staff will not necessarily book everyone with a GP, but will recommend the most appropriate medical professional, which may include a practice nurse, a healthcare assistant or a pharmacist to name but a few. They may also use a comprehensive directory of information about services in the community as well as in the practice. These could include, for example, leisure and social community activities, befriending, carer respite, dementia support, benefits advice, employment support and sensory impairment services. This will help to reduce GP appointments, releasing about 5% of the demand for GP consultations, and will at the same time benefit patients by giving them a faster access to the right service, helping to improve quality of life for patients and carers alike. Receptionists acting as care navigators can ensure the patient is booked with the right person first time. It will be quicker for patients to get an appointment with the GP when needed and the receptionists will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are making a significant contribution to the success of the practice by helping patients to get the most appropriate treatment or advice. For any further information about the PPG please contact Lindsay Panton, PPG Chair at hadleighboxfordPPG@gmail.com or Tracey Squirrell, Practice Manager tracey.squirrell@nhs.net 01473 820127

Bentwaters Cold War Museum The Bentwaters Cold War Museum will be opening its doors for 2018 on Sunday 1st April to welcome visitors to a unique ex-military Command Post on a former United States Air Force (USAF) airbase that closed in 1993. Run by volunteers from the Bentwaters Aviation Society, the building is a large bunker made available to the public to view following 3 years of work to renovate and refurbish and opened in 2007. In pride of place is the newest exhibit, the A-10 Warthog, which was renovated and unveiled last year in the presence of many veterans who had flown and operated the aircraft. Described by Major General Radcliffe, the last wing commander at the bases, as “better than when it came out of the factory!”, the A-10 was a familiar sight over East Anglia when 120 operated from the bases. Other airframes on display include an ex Falklands RAF F-4 Phantom and an RAF Harrier set in a camouflage backdrop. The building was used to control operations in the event of war and included the “War Operations Room” and “Battle Cabin” which have been restored to original condition. Other parts of the building have been turned into exhibition rooms, covering the history of RAF Bentwaters from W.W.II until base closure when the Cold War ended. Included in this are histories of the units that operated from the airfield, particularly the 81st Fighter Wing, along with displays about the other airfield which was part of the “twin base” complex RAF Woodbridge. Of particular interest to families is a detailed timeline display of the Cold War which has proven of great help to those studying this period at school. Further exhibition rooms feature information on the “Special Operations/Rescue Squadrons” that were based at RAF Woodbridge, and also the “Aggressor” Squadron based at Bentwaters. For our younger visitors we have an alien hunt inside the museum. It is free of charge and it recognises that the world famous Rendlesham UFO incident is part of the base’s history. There is plenty of car parking space and the museum is suitable for all ages and has the added benefit of being an ideal all weather visitor attraction. There is a café and shop offering light refreshments and souvenirs and card payment facilities. The museum is open on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month and Bank Holiday Sundays & Mondays, from April until October. Admission Adult £5.00, Child (14 & under) Free, Concessions £4.00 Further information for the museum can be found at www.bcwm.org.uk

Suffolk County Councillors’ grants support Citizens Advice Hadleigh outreach sessions Thanks to generous donations from the Locality Budgets of Suffolk County Councillors Robert Lindsay and Mick Fraser, Sudbury & District Citizens Advice are able to continue their monthly advice sessions at The Ansell Centre Hadleigh until June this year. Colleen Sweeney, Chief Officer of Sudbury & District Citizens Advice, said “The Councillors’ donations are really appreciated as we know that for some people lack of suitable transport and the cost of travel can be a barrier to seeking our help with everyday problems. We always encourage people to seek our help as soon as possible to prevent their problems escalating further and being able to provide a local service helps to address this�. Hadleigh Town Council have previously helped to support the advice sessions but further financial support is needed if the sessions are to continue beyond June. Until then, regular drop in advice sessions will be held on the first Thursday of each month from 9.30 to 12.30.

The former Babergh District Council offices on Corks Lane in Hadleigh have temporary occupants: Suffolk Police dogs in training The offices in Hadleigh, which Babergh District Council vacated in November last year, are now in use to train police dogs for Suffolk Police. Suffolk Police’s Dog Section trains general purpose dogs (German shepherds) as well as specialist dogs (spaniels and Labradors) in both outdoor and indoor environments. The former offices in Hadleigh offer an ideal opportunity to train these dogs in an office environment in which the dogs can train in tracking down people, drugs, explosive training aids, cash, ammunition or firearms. On Monday 12 March the first dogs were brought to the former offices to train. Jazz, a black Labrador, was the first to explore the building and find drugs hidden by PC Tony Russell, followed by Zuma, a Springer Spaniel who also hunted down the hidden drugs, and Jukie, a German Shepherd who searched the building for PC Russell under the supervision of PC Peter Pitts. Police dogs undergo a rigorous 13 week training programme when first learning their role, followed by regular training sessions until they retire. The training is an interim measure while the long-term future of the site is secured. As part of the training Suffolk Police could arrive at the offices at any time of day or night to allow the trainee dogs to get used to the unpredictable schedule of police work. Residents who see police vehicles attending the site at odd hours should not be alarmed as this is part of the training. The former offices in Hadleigh are also protected by 24/7 security to ensure there is no misuse of the site. All equipment used in the training of the dogs is brought to the site by Suffolk Police, and removed again when the dogs leave. The use of the site is being provided to Suffolk Police by Babergh District Council at no cost, in the interests of making the best use of the public sector estate in the county for Suffolk residents. Cllr Nick Ridley, Babergh District Council’s Cabinet Member for Assets and Investment, said: “This temporary use of the Corks Lane offices for Suffolk Police dog training is great news: they are an important site in Hadleigh, and we are working hard to ensure their future as a key location in the town, but in the interim it is wonderful to see them in use for the public good. PC Tony Russell and his team encounter all kinds of circumstances in their role, and if our former offices can help them prepare we are delighted to make them available. “This is an interim measure, and we will be updating residents shortly on what comes next at the site.� PC Tony Russell from the Dog Section said: “We’re very grateful for the kind and generous offer of the use of the premises by Babergh District Council by our dog unit. It will provide us with a valuable location where we can continue to train our dogs and we look forward to using the site in the weeks and months ahead.�

Following the successful transformation of last’s year winner, The West Cliff Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea, awardwinning home improvement specialists SEH BAC have launched their 2018 Community Giveaway competition. The firm which specialises in windows, doors and conservatories, is looking to once again use their skills to renovate deserving community buildings. SEH BAC is encouraging members of the public to nominate a worthy building that they or their community group use. “We introduced our Community Giveaway competition last year to celebrate our 45-years of trading across the region. However, the success of the competition and of course the results for West Cliff have encouraged us to launch it again this year – but even bigger,â€? comments John Savage, Managing Director of SEH BAC. “This year, we want to help transform a number of community buildings across the region, providing the improvements they need to keep their doors open and secure their future for many more years to come. So, if you know of a building that could desperately use our services, let us know! It takes just a couple of moments to fill out our online form, but the result could be huge for your community building.â€? Last year’s ÂŁ10,000 Community Giveaway competition was won by The West Cliff Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea. With no further government funding and the theatre solely relying on donations and volunteers to stay open, SEH BAC replaced the dilapidated windows that were raising the running costs and pushing the theatre closer to closure. Now West Cliff, which has been operating since 1894, can continue to entertain residents for years and generations to come. Based in Ipswich and operating 15 show centres across the South-East, East Anglia and the Home Counties, SEH BAC’s transformation of the West Cliff Theatre was recognised with the coveted ‘Community Benefit’ award from the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC) –a trusted industry body that aims to protect the rights of consumers by promoting best practice. The firm, which is a subsidiary of One Group Construction – a privately-owned ÂŁ160 million turnover group of civil engineering and construction companies, was also named ‘Installer of the Year’ at the glass and glazing industry’s prestigious G17 Awards. Chosen by an elite panel of industry experts, SEH BAC beat 13,000 double glazing companies from across the UK to win the highly sought-after prize. To enter your chosen community building, simply visit www.sehbac.com/community to fill out the entry form and read the full terms and conditions. Closing date is Tuesday, May 1st, 2018

Blooming Brexit! With a strong BREXIT breeze in the air there's at least one charity supporting Suffolk business that's enjoying the Entente Cordiale this Spring! The Boule-in's Spring Exhibition 'Fête du Printemps' (14 - 22 April) embraces all the delights of French lifestyle and alfresco living. For those of you who have never visited this enchanting French Fête, set in a very English garden, you have a treat in store. The unassuming High Street entrance leads you quickly into an ambience of Provence - olive trees and lavender, stylish French furniture, objects d'art and gifts galore: The beautifully curated spaces are utterly unexpected and delightful - as is the very warm welcome of its proprietors Cathy and Peter Bullen who seem only too happy that you are enchanted by this unique shopping experience. "We absolutely love what we are doing" enthuses Cathy "we love what we sell and to see everyone enjoying the experience - and we love creating a bit of French magic whilst raising money for wonderful English charities!" The Boule-in endeavours to raise significant donations for Macmillan Nurses, Combat Stress and the local church restoration fund. It's a great reason to celebrate both sides of the Channel and the beautiful French furniture in the Boule-in garden is certainty enhanced by our English spring bulbs! The Fête du Printemps runs from 14th to 22nd April 10 am - 5 pm daily www.boule-in.co.uk - 77 High Street, Bildeston IP7 7ER

The Benefice of Stoke by Nayland, Leavenheath, Polstead, Nayland and Wissington “Vicar to lead pilgrims back 2000 years in India” The Revd Mark Woodrow is swapping South Suffolk for South India later this year as he leads an 18-day pilgrimage tour to the Southern Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu investigating the historical tradition that the Apostle St. Thomas (better known as ‘Doubting Thomas’) visited India in 52AD and eventually died there some twenty years later. “Traditionally there were ‘seven and a half churches’ believed to have been founded by St Thomas himself in South India”, Revd Mark said, “Whilst one of the churches has disappeared into the sea, and another has been moved a few miles away, the other sites remain, and all continue to serve flourishing Christian Communities.” Revd Mark, who previously spent time living and working in India, has a passion for sharing his love of the Indian sub-continent with everyone, especially when it can also be combined with opportunities for others to meet Christians from different traditions, as well as members from Hindu, Muslim, Jain, Buddhist and Jewish faiths. This latest pilgrimage tour runs from 17th September to 4th October 2018 and is open to all. For more information please contact Revd Mark on 01206 262150 or revdmarkwoodrow@gmail.com or visit www.soulofindia.com/seven-and-a-half-churches/

There is no doubt in my mind that recent weeks have seen an acceleration in what might be termed ‘speculative applications’ for permission to build new homes in Babergh. I have had emails from constituents worried about applications in Belstead, Capel St Mary, Long Melford, Elmsett, Chelmondiston and my own village of Assington. The reason is that our district of Babergh is deemed not to have a ‘five year land supply’, i.e. is not building enough homes. As such, whilst Babergh is still the planning authority, it has to give more weight to national planning policy than local priorities. This in turn attracts developers thinking that even if their application is rejected by Babergh, they have more chance on appeal. In fact, the average number of new homes built in Babergh in the last five years is 213. In every year since 2001 prior to the last five years we built more than 213 homes a year, at an average of just under 300, including 537 in 2002. Of course, many constituents have rightly argued to me that whilst our buildout rate is low, the number of permissions granted is far higher. I understand in Babergh there are around 2,000 permissions awaiting development to start compared to fewer than 200 where it is underway. It understandably irks those communities who go through the pain barrier of seeing controversial permissions granted, only for nothing to happen; and many have said, ‘James, they shouldn’t allow this latest application until the others have started’. Fair point. In my view, nationally we need to urgently find a way to get builders building – in the Housing Secretary’s recent statement I proposed financial penalties on developers who fail to deliver on their permissions. Locally, communities concerned about development need to bring forward a Neighbourhood Plan that allocates sites for development at a sustainable level, giving greater certainty to communities, and – crucially – more control over where exactly in their back yard housing is sited. I wholeheartedly oppose unsustainable development, particularly in the countryside. But I do believe we can find a better way forward than the current mad dash for plots that may never be built.

Pelvic and Women’s Health Physiotherapy – Fact File

Physiotherapy • Clinical Pilates • Pelvic & Women’s Health Physio • Acupuncture • Sports & Swedish Massage • Respiratory & Paediatric Physio

Hadleigh Physiotherapy Limited The Clinic, 111 George Street, Hadleigh, Suffolk IP7 5BP Telephone: 01473 810185 Email: enquiries@hadleighphysio.co.uk www.hadleighphysio.co.uk

A pelvic and women’s health physiotherapist (otherwise known as pelvic, obstetric and gynaecological physiotherapist) specialises in treating women throughout their childbearing years and beyond. This can mean treating pregnancy related back and pelvic pain (during pregnancy or afterwards), pelvic floor muscle weakness and abdominal muscle separation after birth, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction at any time of life, prolapse, bladder and bowel control or function issues, pelvic issues relating to menopause, and pelvic pain at any stage in life. How can physiotherapy help women? Women are prone to particular conditions as a result of childbearing. 1 in 3 women have issues with bladder control at some point in their adult life, more than 50% of pregnant women experience significant back pain and 1 in 9 women suffer with chronic pelvic pain. Pelvic and women’s health physiotherapists have specialist knowledge and skills - making a diagnosis, using specialist treatment techniques and prescribing exercise programmes that consider the differences in the female body. Tell us about your experience in this field I started my career in 1997 in this field at the Royal Free, a large London teaching hospital. For 12 of those years I was the lead physiotherapist for women’s health, running one of the largest services in the country. I also work privately alongside some of my consultant colleagues in Harley Street, London. What do you find most rewarding in your work? I am passionate about my work, it makes an enormous difference to peoples’ quality of life. Some of my clients start their treatment having had debilitating pelvic pain for years. It is incredibly rewarding to hear how much physiotherapy changes someone’s pain or function, and what that has allowed them to do – whether it’s giving them the confidence to have another child, return to the work place, or simply return to an exercise class they like. Physiotherapy works! How can I find out more? Please see the Hadleigh Physiotherapy website at www.hadleighphysio.co.uk, or my personal website: www.helenforthphysio.com or feel free to call or email the clinic with any queries.

Lunch Bunch was enjoyed at Prezzo’s, Sudbury this month. Plenty of discussion and hilarity round the table as members enjoyed the traditional Italian cuisine on offer. A pleasant lunch only marred by the establishment’s inflexibility with the final bill and addition of a so called ‘optional’ service charge. We will not be rushing back, if at all. Monthly Meeting: The title was intriguing “Did the Sewers Save (L to R) Dr Anne Folan Lives?” The more explicit subtitle and Chairwoman Liz Wilson was Public Health in Ipswich 1840 – 1911. Dr Anne Folan has studied this subject and with the help of some very telling documentation demonstrated that the introduction of sewers, together with a source of clean water, did save lives especially of children. It was a most informative talk which the audience enjoyed more than they had expected on arrival. It was also one of two evenings this club year when invited guests were welcome and the gender balance in the room changed ever so slightly. Poppies: The first intake of poppies arrived and the Fidelis Poppy-ometer was created. Amazingly, the addictive clicking of needles these past few weeks produced 235 knitted flowers. More next month. Quartet: Sadly only three brave souls weathered the snow to see the stage version of this well-known film. Happily it was well worth the effort. Cinderella: There was great disappointment as ballet lovers were unable to reach the Theatre Royal, Norwich to enjoy Matthew Bourne’s modern take on this traditional fairy tale. The lack of transport thwarted all attempts to reach Norwich and return to Hadleigh after the performance. Disappointed ballet lovers much appreciated the 20% refund given by Theatre Royal, Norwich.

At Orchard Barn we are supporting International Compost Awareness Week by running a FREE workshop. We will show you how we make great compost that we use in our organic garden and orchard. We will also demonstrate how you can easily make your own compost to use in your garden or allotment. The workshop will cover what materials can be composted and what cannot. You will have a chance to look at different ways of making compost and ask questions of experienced compost makers. Composting is an entirely natural process that produces an ideal and odour-free food for plants. It is good for the environment and uses material that otherwise you might throw away or burn as waste. Rather than spend money on artificial fertiliser and peat-based soil improvers you can make your own compost for free. The traditional methods that we will cover on the workshop are perfect for a sustainable twenty-first century lifestyle. This free workshop will take place at Orchard Barn, Bildeston Road, Ringshall IP14 2LY on 2 May 2018 from 2 to 4pm. Places are limited and so we ask you to email sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk if you would like to attend.

Choir donation is sound as a Belle Hadleigh Community Choir like to donate some of the money raised at their concerts to local charities. For the recent 'In and Out of Love' concert, they chose the Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding. Once the roads were clear of snow, John and Stella from the choir visited to hand over the £125 cheque. Lyn Bensusan, the stable manager, was delighted to receive the donation and choir members were very happy to support such a worthy local cause. Part of the money (£25) was to sponsor one of the horses for a year. The choir chose Belle. She is a lovely Irish pony, strawberry roan and standing 12.2 hands high. She's also extremely lively - she wouldn't stand still to be photographed for the handing over ceremony and in fact would probably have eaten the cheque! So we used Parys instead, who is also available for sponsorship along with several others. The Shelley Centre provides horse riding experiences for people with disabilities. The benefits of contact with the animals, a feeling of being in control and getting out in the fresh air are enormous. For those unable to sit on a real horse, there is a model horse that can simulate walking, trotting and even cantering. Either way, it is one the few times a wheelchair bound person is able to look down on people. The Centre is always keen to hear from potential volunteers - no previous experience required - or from those interested in coming to ride. There are always fun things to get involved with like and annual ragwort and Pimms day! Hadleigh Community Choir is still open to new members.

East Anglian Garden Group Our first meeting at Chamberlin Hall hosted our celebrity speaker Cleve West, and his talk on Healing Gardens. Members and guests packed the hall on a lovely sunny afternoon, to hear him talk about Horatio’s Garden and his designs for other medal winning gardens where he needed to create spaces that were both calming and healing. Water is an essential element to these gardens, with inspiration drawn from the Paradise Gardens of the Middle East. The soft palette of colours used, with mass planting to make swathes of calming hues; sometimes restricted colour use, just greens and whites; the textures of plants - all combine to give a sense of healing. Hard landscaping with vertically laid drystone walls mixed with painted walls juxtapose energies within a garden. It was interesting to note that in the garden which he designed for the Bupa Garden – An Alzheimer Garden, the furniture and seating were painted red, so that Alzheimer patients can recognise it more easily. To create a feeling of breathing space between plants, Cleve likes to use gravel. This also has the advantage of making a newly planted garden look more established. In Horatio’s Garden, which is used by long term patients with spinal injuries, the garden was designed to produce flowers, cascading vegetables and fruits. These could be picked by patients when they were wheeled out in their beds, to the garden, so that they could enjoy the normal pleasures of picking and eating a summer harvest. The garden has been planted to attract birds and insects too, particularly focussing on fragrance. Cleve has recently become a Vegan, with his concerns for the state of the planet uppermost in his mind. He gave us his thoughts on the subject, and how those of us who care for our garden plots, can think about the effect that we have on the whole planet, and that maybe we should all consider treating the world with the same love and attention that we give to our gardens. He is a man who gardens from the heart, and it was a pleasure to meet him. Our meeting on the 3rd of February was postponed to the 10th, due to the wintry weather, and members finally enjoyed an informative talk on the Delights of Dahlias, from Steve Edney, head gardener of the Salutation Garden in Sandwich, Kent. Steve started his career as a garden designer, then in 2006 took on the restoration of the Salutation, a garden originally designed by Edwin Lutyens, but much neglected by former owners. In 2013 the garden was badly damaged by major floods, but Steve and his team restored it a second time, and it is now a plant lover’s paradise. Steve is on the RHS herbaceous committee and has won 2 Chelsea Gold Medals in partnership with Cayeux Iris. His great passion is Dahlias, and he hold the National Collection. Our next meeting is on April 7th when Harriet Rycroft will be giving us her talk ‘Summer Splendour – Planting Exciting Container Displays’.

It is with great sadness that we recently learnt of the passing of the RT Hon, Sir William Aldous (SP) QC, High Court Judge, Privy Counsellor. Willie, as he was known to his friends, was a warm and generous man, his equestrian pursuits were lifelong and passionate. He married Gillian Henson, main organiser of Stratford Hills Horse Trials until 2016 and sister of Bill Henson, the longstanding Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials Director. They have three children Emma, Richard and Nicola and many grandchildren. They both enjoyed a lifetime of equine related activities and later in life regularly followed the Essex & Suffolk Hunt on foot. Willie was educated at Harrow School after which he went to Trinity College Cambridge where he graduated with a Master of Arts (M.A.). His professional career followed an illustrious path. He was admitted to Inner Temple in 1960 entitled to practise as a barrister-at-law and was head of the barristers' chambers at 6 Pump Court, Temple from 1980 to 1988. He was member of the junior counsel at the department of Trade and Industry between 1972 and 1976. An appointment to Queen’s Counsel in 1976 followed and he became a High Court judge in 1988, a position he held until 1995. In 1995 Willie was both appointed to the Privy Council and appointed Chief Justice of Appeal. He retired from the bench in 2003 although he remained an arbitrator in intellectual property arbitrations and was a member of the Gibraltar Court of Appeal until 2013. Willie’s other much loved equestrian pursuit was hunting.

Treat Yourself This Spring Keeping our weight at a healthy level is the best thing we can do for ourselves and something we do have control over. After all, shouldn’t we be responsible for looking after our own bodies? Eating a good, nutritionally balanced diet is the first step. The obesity crisis is in the news more than ever and there’s growing evidence that it is the second most preventable cause of cancer after smoking. We all know about the risks of smoking and many thousands of people have given up over the years. But you can’t give up eating – not entirely anyway! You can, though, make lifestyle changes to bring your weight under control and generally look after yourself – after all we only have one body to last our whole life so surely it deserves some TLC! Add some regular exercise and you will soon start to feel the benefits – it’s known to boost serotonin levels - the feel-good factor. It’s so easy to find an excuse not to make the effort – but it can be squeezed into your daily routine almost without realising! You don’t need any special equipment – always use the stairs or step outside for a brisk walk - aim for 30 minutes a day, then gradually increase it. If you have a dog he’ll be delighted to come with you! Research has proven that dieters are more successful with support. Cambridge Weight Plan can help you make those changes. Average weight loss is a stone a month*. Accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord has over 9 years’ experience, will provide individual support and motivation during your weight loss journey, so for help with your weight problem, contact her today on 01449 737113/07519 177645 or www.facebook.com/val.lord.cwp WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE...?? For more information, go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL You can get the body you deserve, and like thousands of others you could soon be saying �I wish I’d found Cambridge sooner!� *The rate of weight loss may vary according to the individual.

Beauty Gallery Lavenham Mandy and Vicki at Beauty Gallery, a specialist electrolysis and skincare clinic in Lavenham, have under taken further study with the Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity. Both of us have now completed our Melanoma and Skin Cancer Early Detection (MASCED) accreditation. Working in the beauty industry we see clients on a regular basis so have the opportunity the observe changes on our clients’ skin, particularly in areas the client may not be able to see themselves. By updating ourselves on the early signs of skin cancer we can recognise possible areas that may need medical attention and advise accordingly. Who is at risk? In short, everyone. However if you fall into one of these categories you are more likely to develop skin cancer: • Fair skin that burns easily • Sunbed users and active sun seekers • Anyone with a history of sunburn • Anyone who works outdoors • Sports enthusiasts who spend a lot of time outdoors • Mature skin which has accumulated UV damage over time • Those with more than 100 moles on the body • Family history of skin cancer or melanoma There are many myths around the sun and what, and what isn’t healthy. However, with summer approaching it pays to be a bit savvier about the dangers and protect yourself. Wear at least 30 SPF, cover up or stay in the shade when possible, wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses, and avoid being in direct sun between 11am and 3pm when the sun’s rays are at their strongest. Using a sunbed before a holiday does not protect your skin from sun damage. You will still tan even if wearing SPF factor 50. Skin cancer can happen to anyone and appear on any part of the body including the soles of your feet, your finger nails and your eyes! If you are concerned about a skin lesion Mandy offers free advanced electrolysis consultations where she can advise you further. If she suspects anything she will recommend a visit to your GP, preferably with a referral to a dermatologist. Anything that is not skin cancer can usually be safely removed by a professional, and Mandy is highly sort after in this region for just that.

When Grieving, It Is Never Too Soon or Too Late to Seek Support from Suffolk Bereavement Support When talking to the bereaved it’s not unusual to find them apologetic because they feel they should have come to terms with their loss by now. We at Suffolk Bereavement Support understand that there is no time limit to the grieving process especially when the loss has proved to be extremely traumatic for those left behind. Initially, the bereaved may be experience shock and be in a state of disbelief. It’s is not uncommon for some people to be overwhelmed by a rollercoaster of emotions and it’s no wonder that they find it difficult to adjust. The groups offer a safe place to explore these feelings and to benefit from the common experiences and support of others in a similar situation. If this message strikes a chord with you then why not get in touch? We are here to help.We have groups in Hadleigh (afternoon) and Capel St Mary (early evening) and each group meets twice monthly.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Our last meeting Monday 12th March 2018: Despite the pouring rain the club's AGM was well attended. A short meeting saw the majority of the present committee re-elected and happily, with the support of three new members, we now number seven. This means that we can confidently look forward to our 2018/19 programme, the hard working sub committee have planned visits to three very different gardens and a programme of speakers offering a wide range of subjects with something to suit everyone. The highlight of our year being our 50th anniversary celebrations in July which we are very much looking forward to. The evening ended with the usual raffle and refreshments and the winner of the competiton was Fiona Quinn with a beautiful display of crocus. Our next get together on Monday 9th April 2018: We welcome as our speaker for the April meeting John Hewson. He will be sharing his expertise on the subject of sweet peas. There will be a sale as well as a talk which I am sure will prove very popular. The meeting starts at 7.30pm at Hadleigh town Hall(opposite The Ram pub). The entrance fee is ÂŁ3 for non memebers and ÂŁ1 for members, to include refreshments. We will be holding our monthly raffle and the competition for this month is 'a specimen daffodil'. We look forward to seeing you there.

Back into the garden.... advise from Hadleigh Osteopaths As the weather gets warmer and we get back into the garden, many of us will develop aches and pains as a result of over enthusiastic gardening. Here are a few tips to keep you comfortable. Check that your tools are all in good working order. If you have not had your lawn mower serviced, remember it may be more difficult to start than you expect. We see lots of back strains from those ‘’first pulls’’.Ensure that your secateurs and shears are sharp. You are more likely to develop a tendonitis in your forearms if you are struggling with blunt tools. You really do not want a tennis elbow to stop your gardening! Try and be realistic about how much you are going to be able to achieve. Tempting though it is to try and get all the lawns mowed and the vegetable bed weeded you are far more likely to survive the process pain-free if you set your self a realistic goal. We would suggest that 30-40 minutes of a given task is sufficient before you take a break. Change tasks regularly. This will ensure that you are using different muscle groups and are less likely to overuse any particular one. Do not try and carry more than you can do so comfortably. If you want to buy bags of compost or heavy pots, consider asking someone to help you. This is less shameful than having to ask for help to put your pants and socks on the following morning. Half fill your watering cans, or buy two smaller ones so you can carry one in each hand for a more balanced load. Working with your arms above your shoulders and your head back can upset your neck. Consider having your hanging baskets on a raise and lower pulley system, or even an irrigation system. Use water-retaining pellets in the compost when planting up. Invest in a decent set of steps and some long loppers for pruning high branches. Do not go indoors and sit in the softest armchair you can find at the end of the day. All that physical activity and fresh air mean you are more likely to nod off. Falling asleep in a soft chair for several hours after unaccustomed activity is a sure way to give you a stiff back. By all means sit down and have a rest, but get up regularly during the evening. We would suggest you place the remote control out of reach so you have to get up to change TV channel. If you are really tired, go to bed! Enjoy the spring and remember to call us at Hadleigh Osteopaths for help and advice. 01473 – 828585 for bookings or 07770 746224 for further information Hadleigh Osteopaths, Hadleigh Pool and Leisure , Stonehouse Road.

Down to Earth ...with Dave Will this cold weather never end? Everything outside is on hold at the moment because it is so wet everywhere. I was out with the camera when we had the very heavy snow, the deepest we have seen in the twelve years that we have lived here in Hadleigh, very pretty and it was great to see all the families out enjoying themselves with their sledges. It is very much a waiting game at the moment with pea plants sitting in the greenhouse waiting to be planted out on the allotment as soon as it dries up bit. For the first time the trays of seed potatoes have been moved into a spare bedroom to continue chitting. This does give a little more space in the greenhouse for seed trays to be planted up with leeks, celeriac, cucumbers, courgettes and sweet peas etc. With a little bottom heat they soon show growth, as soon as they germinate remove from the heat, open any vents in the plastic covers and keep lightly watered. The standard fuchsias have not been moved outside yet but they, along with various other over wintered fuchsias have been trimmed back a bit as they are showing strong new growth. Don't give up on any that appear dead as they will probably start to show signs of life very soon. Keep an eye out for vine weevil and slugs as they will thrive in the warm conditions provided by a greenhouse. As soon as it is possible cut back the hydrangeas to the first healthy fat bud. Buddleia can be cut back very hard again to remove any frost damage, it will soon regrow. As I write this the rain has at last stopped and the sun is shining, I feel that I should be out there getting on with the many jobs that I have to do. With luck the better weather will hold for a few days and I can catch up. Many birds are nest building at this time of year with all sorts of materials being of use to them, hair from a hairbrush or a pet, sheep wool gathered from barbed wire fences, fluffy seed heads, grasses, moss and natural fibre tumble drier fluff. They have even been pulling the coconut fibres from some new wall baskets we bought! Spread any material near to any potential nesting sites, as sparrows in particular like to gather material from where they are building their nest. It is important to keep feeding the birds but it is equally important to keep any feeding areas clean and, as far as possible, free from disease. Wash feeders and water containers with soapy water. I like to pressure wash the bird bath, bird table and the surrounding patio slabs. With the return of Gardeners' World on television it was encouraging to see that Monty was struggling with the weather just the same as us mere mortals. That's all for this time, Dave

Newton Green Golfers Help Transform Dog Owner’s Life Representatives of a golf club that raised £8,000 toward the training of a dog have witnessed the moving passing out ceremony of the animal. It was four years ago that captains at Newton Green Golf Club led the raising of the money for the Canine Partners charity. Now, black Labrador Trent has settled in as an inspirational friend and support to wheel chair restricted Robert Davies, of Wales, and was one of seven dogs honoured in a passing out ceremony held in Leicestershire. Present were former golf club captain, Andrew Johnson, and his wife Lizzie, who is the recently elected ladies captain at Newton. Andrew explained: "Initially, a puppy spends around 12 months being socialised by a puppy parent in their own home. Then it goes to the charity headquarters for about five months of advanced training, during which time it will be matched with Andrew Johnson, Robert Davies someone on the charity's waiting list and Lizzie Johnson with Trent and trained to their needs. “The dog then goes home with their partner and the charity's aftercare department make regular visits to help with the settling in process. Once the partnership has settled a passing out ceremony is arranged. “Following his serious illness, Trent’s new owner had reached a desperate situation and did not go out to speak to people. He is now so pleased, as the dog has made him a different person. His wife Sarah is also incredibly grateful. The dog has transformed their lives and was very moving to hear this.” Along with Andrew, Newton’s women’s captain Sue Thurgate and seniors captain Mike Norton led the fund raising at the club.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029

No prizes for guessing who’s been out recently. Our little ambassador came home full of himself again after attending our Gift and Craft Fair at Whatfield last month. We received another warm welcome from the village and raised £860 for the animals. Kenny met lots of people who enjoyed the event including SESAW rescue dog, Billy the Whippet/Jack Russell cross with his new Foster family. This fifteen year old canine gentleman is finally getting all the love, walks and TLC a dog could desire. You can give and receive so much happiness when taking an older dog into your home. It may not be for as long as you would wish but it makes all the difference while it lasts, to you and them. Turning to the superior species, we have ex feral cats desperately looking for jobs as vermin exterminators. They need a warm place to sleep and a regular supply of food, a fit and able cat will work more efficiently that weak poorly cats. Mother says we can advise how to introduce working cats to your environment and support you should they become ill. Our next event is our Spring Sale which starts at 10am, 22nd April at The Old School, Long Melford, CO10 9DX. I dare say Kenny will be insufferable after attending and just hope little Lord Fauntleroy will stop prancing long enough to write next month’s news, instead of me, Ollie (the Black) Cat.

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish

As anticipated we had a run on thermal wear emergency needs during the early cold spell, which took up our stock of ladies thermal socks. A trip to Ipswich got it sorted, but it was sods law that our local supplier had a delivery of ladies thermal tights the following day! Blankets and wraps were also welcomed by the recipients. We were able to give some assistance to those who were struggling with heavy fuel bills. Our thanks must go out to Hadleigh Mobility for their support and attention in servicing and renewal of batteries to get one stranded scooterist mobile again, they were superb. We also helped to keep an emergency operator service up to date for the house bound. The panic alarms are still available to those who are eligible. Many who have a fob have commented on a feeling of confidence should an urgent need for assistance arise. We mention what we do as many who need help are reluctant to contact us, your confidentiality is assured. We wish to put on record our appreciation of the local groups and individuals that give us tangible support to operate. Thank you very much for your kindness. Fred (01473 819127) Chairman Peter (01473 827005) Treasurer Nick – Trustee *Addendum (an excerpt from the Sunday Express) 25th February 2018. It is reported by “Intelligent Health” that there have been 33,464 avoidable deaths this winter, (Dec 1st to mid February 2018). It is predicted that this will rise to over 45000 by the end of March – the highest for 18years. Dr W. Bird, former director of health forecasting at the Met Office said, “This is a cold hazard that kills thousands of people each year, but because not all deaths occur at the same time it is often overlooked ”Professor James Goodwin of Age UK said “We have known about avoidable deaths for decades and every time it gets cold we have thousands more”.

Kersey Mill Newsletter You may recall that in last month’s update on the progress to the Hurst Frame repairs we reported that 2 legs and 2 cross members were now the only missing part of the structural undercarriage repairs that needed completing. Well we are now down to the final leg and a few minor repairs to the sluice gate crank. Pictured is the final leg and Cross member that Millwright Bill Griffiths has prepared ready to be lifted into position and the cross member reinstated.

The sluice gate allows water to enter the water wheel by being lowered and allowing the water to flow over the gate and into the water wheel buckets at a mid-wheel height, hence the term a Breast Shot water wheel. The crank that enables the gate to be lowered is located centrally within the mill and runs horizontally along the length of the Hurst Frame and then outside to the wheel house and the sluice gate. It is quite apparent that there have been issues with the mechanics of the crank in the past with some later additional repairs that we are retaining but also improving by the addition of further support. In preparation of works to the next stage of the Hurst Frame that will consist of reinstating the timber bed and the bed stones we have, with the help of some muscle, moved the bed stones out of the wheel house and back into the mill ready for the lift back up and onto the Hurst Frame. Pictured are Charlie, Gary, George and Kegan carefully moving one of the 3 very heavy bed stones back to the mill. Each stone weighs between 350 and 400 KG. In readiness of the continued works to the bed of the Hurst Frame we have managed to acquire some fantastic Larch that is very tight grained and with very few knots. This is ideal as the bed needs to be as tight and as clean as possible as this area is subjected to flour dust that may escape during the milling process. The mill will be open on April 22nd when you can see first hand all the works that have been carried out recently whilst also enjoying numerous other attractions and the amazing display of Vintage and Classic vehicles that will be on show. Drive it Day starts on April 22nd at 10am and finished at 4pm with all proceeds raised being shared by F.O.K.M and the Community Heartbeat Trust who will also be in attendance on the day giving Defibrillator demonstrations and the public the opportunity to have a go themselves. Entry for display vehicles and pedestrians is free whist public parking is charged at ÂŁ5 per car. Further dates for your diary are May 12th & 13th National Mills Weekend, June 17th Dog Day & July 7th Summer ball. For further information call us or visit www.kerseymill.co.uk

The social, economic, cultural and political achievements of females around the world were celebrated last week on International Women’s Day. This year, the theme was #PressforProgress, with the focus on the gender pay gap and how best to achieve parity between men and women – which, according to one estimate, is more than 200 years away. The issue has dominated the headlines in recent months. First, the BBC struggled to justify the remuneration divide between its male and female stars and then supermarket giants Tesco and Asda found themselves under the spotlight as disgruntled employees launched multi-millionMarie Allen pound pay claims. If you thought it was tough being a working woman in the 21st century, the subsequent revelation by the BBC that two in five female British workers have been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace will hardly have changed your opinion. But it’s not all bad news – and in fact, there are genuine grounds for optimism. For instance, figures reported recently reveal there has been a surge in the number of women starting businesses in the UK, thus narrowing the so-called ‘enterprise gap’. One interesting theory is that having children - which once led many females to give up work completely — is now a key factor in choosing self-employment, with many women surveyed saying “they wanted flexibility and freedom”. Here in Suffolk we have plenty of female entrepreneurial spirit, boosted by the launch of the University of Suffolk’s Centre for Female Entrepreneurship, which opened its doors in October with a mandate to support female innovators through the provision of events, networking opportunities, and signposting to business growth advice. There is further evidence of enterprise from MENTA – a not-for-profit company, which helps Suffolk-based people start and grow their businesses. Their data reveals that of the 1,200 people who have attended MENTA’s Start Right workshops, 64% were women. Another hurdle that can prevent women from reaching their potential is a lack of self-belief and so we are working with My Confidence Matters, an Essexbased organisation which aims to create a movement of women who can inspire, support and motivate each other. Their research revealed that 74% of women in leadership positions have lacked confidence in the workplace – and so the ambition is to give them the tools to go about their jobs with selfassurance and assertiveness. Being a working woman may at times be tough, but right across the world – and certainly here in Suffolk – women are making positive gains, day by day. Doing our bit…. Here at Gotelee, we are doing our bit too, having launched our networking lunches. I’m a firm believer that women network and do business differently to men, so these events offer an opportunity for females to learn from other successful women.

SKy Watch

by Neil Norman

Mars Sun 5th Rise 06.22, Set 19.37; 15th Rise 06.00, Set 19.54; 30th Rise 05.29 Set 20.19. Moon New 16th, Full 30th. The Planets Venus appears higher above the horizon after Sunset each evening and is unmistakably brilliant white in colour and very bright at magnitude -3.9. Mars is a morning object and passes 1.3 degrees south of Saturn on April 2nd. Jupiter - The Moon passes close on April 3rd and again on April 30th. Saturn is at aphelion, or farthest distance it can get from the Sun on April 17th. An event that only occurs every 29.5 years. Mars On July 27th this year, Mars reaches opposition in our skies, that is to say, the planet will be directly opposite the Sun as seen from our skies. It will also be at a close distance to Earth at some 38,881,050 miles, about as close as it can ever get to us. Mars is very easy to see due to its brightness at this time and its very distinctive blood-red colour, which a lot of ancient civilizations associated with bloodshed and war which led to Mars being named Aries, the Roman God of war. The planet is fourth in line from the Sun and has a diameter of 4,212 miles, just over half the diameter of the Earth. Numerous missions have been sent to the planet in a search for life. The atmosphere is thin and composed of mainly carbon dioxide and with a surface pressure of 6 millibars which is less than 1 percent of the Earth's mean sea level pressure. A good telescope will reveal features on the planet too - notably the polar ice caps which are dry ice and grow and shrink with the changing of the seasons.The seasons occur because Mars has an axial tilt of 25 degrees, the Earth by comparison is tilted at 23.5 degrees. Mars is currently in the morning sky in Sagittarius and rises at 03.00 . By the time of opposition at the end of July the planet will be rising at 21.30 and will be very obvious in the southern sky. A good thing to do now is to get outside and sketch it or photograph it; you will notice how it changes in size each month and you will be able to see clearer each month details on the planets surface. The next time Mars will be this close again will be September 15th, 2035! Any questions you would like answered, please don't hesitate to drop me an email at neilnorman03@gmail.com. Neil Norman FRAS

Good Quality Care at a Fair Price

Hadleigh Walkers We had 14 join us for March’s walk at Dedham. The weather was fine but some nifty footwork was required on the final stretch as the river was overflowing its banks and flooding the water meadows. Fortunately most of us finished with dry feet. For April’s walk on Saturday 14th we will catch the Sudbury bound bus at 0850 (Co-op side) and alight at Bower House Tye. We will then walk back to Hadleigh via Sprott’s Farm, Dollops Rockalls Farm, Newhouse Farm, Shelley, Waterhouse Farm, Layham Mill, Railway Walk and back into Hadleigh - a pleasant 7.8 mile walk. I’m told that Dollops is good for bluebells at this time of the year. We should be back in Hadleigh around 1 pm. Everyone is welcome, including very well behaved dogs (there are a number of fields of sheep to pass through). Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground will be muddy and wet in some places at this time of the year. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site.

SDS Ladies Down Under From Ascot To Australia

BUMPER DAMAGED IN A CAR PARK?

Sudbury Dramatic Society had a huge success with their March 2017 production of Ladies Day by Amanda Whittington, the funny and poignant story of four friends who attend Ladies Day at Royal Ascot races and find themselves winning a six figure sum. It was only natural, therefore, that SDS director Mark Scanlon should gather most of his original cast together again for the sequel – Ladies Down Under to be performed at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday 8th to Saturday 12th May at 7.45pm. Ladies Down Under, sees the four friends swap the posh frocks for cork hats and tee shirts as they head ‘down under’ for the trip of a lifetime using the winnings from their huge win on the horses. They enjoy various adventures whilst also discovering and revealing hidden aspects of themselves thousands of miles from their home town of Hull. As they visit places as diverse as Sydney, the Gold Coast and Uluru they encounter a range of equally diverse characters including an English aristocratic drop out, an Aussie surfer, two drag queens, traveller Danny and - eventually - Joe from their workplace back in Hull. Laced with the same compelling humour and characterisations that made Ladies’ Day so popular, Ladies Down Under is a comedy drama you won’t want to miss. Ladies Down Under is on at The Quay Theatre Tuesday 8th to Saturday 12th May at 7.45pm and tickets are available now from The Quay Theatre Box Office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.com.

50 years of Preserving the Stour For You 2018 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the River Stour Trust. The Trust was formed in 1968 to fight the proposed closure of navigation on this historic river that was first granted by an Act of 1705. A public right of navigation remains today and is administered by the Environment Agency. However, many of the locks have disappeared and through navigation from Brundon Mill, upstream of Sudbury in Suffolk, to the sea at Brantham in Essex (a distance of approximately 25 miles) is only achievable by lighter craft such as canoes and kayaks. For 50 years the Trust has worked tirelessly to preserve the Stour for you. It has successfully completed a number of successful projects, including: • restoring/re-building four of the river’s original 13 locks (Great Cornard Lock was the first new lock on the river for over 200 years and Stratford St Mary Lock will mark the culmination of over 10 years back-breaking work!) • restoring the historic, riverside Granary building at Sudbury which hosts a variety of functions including weddings and the Trust’s Tea Room; • building a Visitor Education Centre at Cornard which facilitates educational activities about the river’s history, present and future; • securing public access points and slipways along the whole 25-mile length of the river; • unearthing an original 19th Century Stour barges from Ballingdon Cut which has been fully restored (with funding from Heritage Lottery Fund) to be enjoyed by future generations; • acquiring equipment and training to undertake weedcutting on the river to collect and remove weed that would otherwise restrict river users. The Trust’s dedicated team of volunteers organise public events every year such as the annual Sudbury to the Sea canoeing event which attracts over 500 entrants from all over the world! The trip boats at Sudbury, Dedham and Flatford carry thousands of people every year who come to visit Constable Country and see the locations of his most famous masterpieces. In a strange quirk of fate, the Trust has discovered that TV and screen star Barbara Windsor comes from a family that lived in Bures and was engaged in brick-making, one of the original cargoes carried by barges on the river to build such London landmarks as the Royal Albert Hall. And in fact, more astonishingly she is distantly related to Constable himself, through her maternal great great great grandfather Golding Deeks, and it is hoped that Dame Barbara could take part in some of the celebrations. In 2018 there will be many events celebrating the 50th Anniversary and the Trust is delighted to be a part of the inaugural year of the River Stour Festival. This will celebrate the river, its culture, surrounding landscape and people throughout 2018. This river has a long history which we hope you will help us preserve. We could not exist without our members and supporters. It’s our Stour so let’s make sure we enjoy it for years to come! Please get in touch to find out more about the Trust, its volunteering opportunities and upcoming activities and events. Visit www.riverstourtrust.org or call 01787 313199.

News from Kersey School Squirrels This half term, Squirrels have enjoyed learning all about Space. We have enjoyed writing lists of items that we would take to the moon and we have been writing about what we would do in space if we were an astronaut. In PE we have been creating our own space dances. Squirrels and Hedgehogs also recently enjoyed a trip to Piper's Vale Gymnastic Club in Ipswich were we had fun trying new equipment that we don't have at school. Next half term we look forward to learning about farms and growing. Hedgehogs This half term Hedgehogs class are learning about growing. We have learned about the different parts of trees and flowers and why each part is important. We have also planted lots of different things including sunflowers and are looking forward to watching them grow over the coming weeks. The year 2s enjoyed a trip to the Suffolk Show, where we planted our own potatoes. We had the opportunity to talk to different farmers and learn about the different crops they grow on their farms. We also had a great time dressing up as our favourite book characters and celebrating reading during our World Book day. Throughout the day we made our own videos using the Ipads. Badgers We have been developing our knowledge of Ancient Egypt and cannot wait to attend our trip on Thursday to The British Museum in London. We will be on the hunt for mummies, pyramids and different Gods that the Egyptians worshiped. In Literacy we have been writing poems by creating our poetry tool kit. The last poem we have written was based around nature and the natural world. We included a host of different techniques such as personification and alliteration. Our ICT and Maths topics have linked really well this term by allowing us to code or own routes along a map. We used the LOGO programme with a list of different commands to create a range of different shapes and directions. Owls Owls class are bringing their topic on 'Keeping Green' to a close by selling the different products they have made to raise money for their class. They have learnt a lot about the effects of plastic on our planet, in particular how our seas and oceans are filling with plastic waste from around the globe, and what they can do to combat the issue. The children have learnt about different scientists, environmental activists and researchers who have worked hard to protect the habitats of a number of endangered species from the effects of plastic. They are very much looking forward to their topic on 'Africa' next term. If you would like to know more about Kersey school or would like to arrange a visit please ring the office on 01473 823397, email: admin@kersey.suffolk.sch.uk or visit our website: www.kersey.suffolk.sch.uk

A helping hand in all weather Well, last month we certainly saw some rather extraordinary weather which divided many of us into those who found it fun and exciting (quite possibly many of these were of school age who were pleased to have a few days off and the snowy slopes beckoned sledging), and those who experienced all manner of inconveniences. Travelling anywhere was not recommended and indeed was impossible for many, pipes froze and subsequently burst and some people, not expecting such a cold and prolonged spell, ran out of oil for their heating. But alongside the transformed and often beautiful scenery that snow, when it is fresh, paints, there was something else that was wonderful to see; that is, the way people helped each other out when difficulties arose. Living in our rural county, we were snowed in for a few days, the hill up to the village being impassable and shut off to all traffic for a while. But many local residents, especially those in the farming community, were often out clearing paths through and helping those who had become stranded to get home. After several days of not leaving the house, we needed to get to the shops and so, not knowing whether the road had been opened again or not, we walked into town (no mean feat, it took us one hour of trudging through the snow.) On the way back, our neighbours happened to pass us on the one track of road that had been cleared by then and kindly stopped their car to offer us a lift home, which was a lovely and much appreciated thing to do. There were accounts on the news and social media of the many amazing NHS staff who not only took extra pains to get in to work, but many of whom also stayed overnight to make sure they would be there the following day. It seemed that most people you spoke to, heard of only good and kind acts from one person to another. Now that the weather has truly turned and we can all look forward to nicer months ahead, I hope that this spirit of helpfulness and community continues and we all find a way in which we can reach out to someone else. www.jenny-may.com

Its more ‘thank you’s from us all, readers! The wonderful Hadleigh Community Choir chose to make a collection for us at their superb Valentine’s Concert in mid February. Not only that, they are sponsoring Belle from the live herd. My photo shows Stella Scanlon and John Turnbull handing over the cheque from the choir to Lyn Bensusan and Parys (the horse). Belle is pictured at work with pupils from Hampden House. The ponies just love being sponsored, and keep in touch with their supporters throughout the year. You can find out how to be a sponsor from our new web page: www.shelleyrda.com My own exciting news is that I am being SUNK in the Easter holidays! Thanks to the grant from the Masonic Charitable Foundation I am to have the floor, on which I sit, lowered; it is a brilliant solution to the problem of getting our more substantial riders onto my saddle to receive their therapy. (It has taken us ten years to be able to get here, I might add.) The General Knowledge Quiz in March was another cause for celebration with money being raised for the Centre’s coffers; thank you to all the brain boxes who supported this event. Keep Sunday May 6th free to walk the walk. Back by popular demand, the Sponsored Walk will take you on a leisurely 12k ramble across the rolling fields and woods of this lovely district; well behaved dogs are also welcome, and no doubt there will be cake for those who complete the course! nIts hearing about the bluebells, nightingales, and fabulous views that make me feel a tiny bit jealous. For those of you who are reading this blog for the first time, I’m a simulator, I live indoors with my little friend Babs, and we supplement the therapy that the live horses and ponies give by allowing people, who can’t manage on one of them, to get on us. I don’t need a pony leader, but I have side walkers just like all the others. You should come and see me in action! Our new riders are making good progress and the rearranged rotas are working. We still have room for more helpers though, and would love to welcome fresh faces into the Centre. Most Volunteers give a morning or an afternoon per week, during school term times only. Please contact us if you are thinking about doing something new: ‘horsey-ness’ is not a prerequisite, what we need is kindness, reliability and a sense of humour.

News from The Station Welcome to Spring readers, Hopefully we have all seen the last of the heavy snow falls and the early morning frosts. Daffodils and snowdrops are coming out in our gardens and our thoughts are turning to tending our borders and lawns. When you open your sheds / garages up with enthusiastic plans, take the time to note details of all your tools and gardening equipment. Now is the time to mark them with a UV pen, take down serial numbers and model numbers and photograph them to keep safe. Hadleigh SNT can offer Garden Shed and Garage security advice as well as UV pens to mark your tools. Please feel free to contact anyone at Hadleigh Police Station. General advice would also be to consider installing security lights to illuminate your garden, and lights which activate when movement is detected, these are a particularly good deterrant to would be thieves. You can register all your property at the following www.immobilise.com Don’t Become A Victim Of A Telephone Scam: We take regular reports from members of the public who have fallen victim to various scams and cons which start off with a phone call or an email. Over the years we have heard of various tricks and ruses, as the fraudsters come up with increasingly convincing ways to gain the confidence of their victims. Often victims are contacted by someone purporting to be from the fraud department associated to their bank and makes claims that their accounts are being targeted by rogue bank employees. That these employees are being investigated and to safeguard their money they need to transfer their savings to an apparent “safe” account. The fraudulent caller will apply a time pressure and the victim is either asked to make instant transfer online or go to a local branch to carry out the necessary transfer. DC Joanne Smith from Safeguarding and Investigations said “ The fraudulent caller will sound very convincing and claims to know the banks procedures, and even information about the victims to gain their trust. This trust may be built up over a couple of days before asking to make the transfers, as well as providing genuine telephone numbers and passwords that will correspond to legitimate bank/ building society. Residents Should Remember The Following: Your Bank or Police will never ask you to withdraw money. Your bank or the Police will never ask for your PIN, bank card or bank account details over the phone. Never download any software suggested by the caller. Do not rush into complying with the scammers demands/requests. If you receive such a call leave the landline for at least five minutes to make an outside call, Fraudsters will keep the line open and have been known to play ringtones, hold music and a recorded message down the phone so that the victim believes they are making a call to a legitimate number. You can report incidents of fraud to ACTION FRAUD by calling 03001 232040 or using their online reporting tool www.actionfraud.police.uk. You can also sign up to the Trading Standards weekly email alert on rogues and scams targeting suffolk : www.suffolk.gov.uk/jointhefight Have Your Say: The next Parish Forum where you can discuss local priorities and concerns is on Wednesday 11th April At 19:30hrs at Hadleigh Leisure Centre, Stonehouse Road, Hadleigh.

Hadleigh Bowling Club Teams are playing the last few games in the indoor Stone Street League before the top four pairs go in to the finals on 4th and 5th April. Current front runners are John Martin & Di Miller, Peter Miller & Maria Barrand, Mick Barrand & Isobel Waddle, and Ray Austin & Pam Linge, though it looks possible that Robin Beard & Barbara Bourner may take that important fourth place. Bowling is a lot about making choices, getting your lines and weight right, and positioning. And how better to get some early practice in before the start of the new season than facing a table full of delicious cakes at a pre-season get-together. It’s never simple you know. One misjudgement and you could easily miss your chance. So, seriously, how did you think bowlers got their eye in before the start of the new season? Club members turn up on 7th April to get everything ready outside and the green continues to get expert treatment ready for the opening day drive on 24th April. Anyone interested in trying their hand can always phone Jan Austin on 01473 828212 or come to the Open Days on 28th and 29th April.

A KERSEY CHORUS

An exciting and varied selection of songs and music to lift us out of winter into spring

Saturday 28th April 7.30pm in St. Mary’s Church, Kersey

01473 823286 115 High Street, Hadleigh, IP7 5EJ

Racing, training and the legend that is Mike Rosbrook. This month saw one of our most stalwart and oldest members celebrate a milestone birthday. Mike Rosbrook who has been a valued and much loved and respected member of the Hadleigh Hares since the nineteen eighties was joined by a large group of clubmates at Clare Castle park run to mark his 80th birthday. Mike’s running career spans decades and to still be putting in the miles at eighty is a tribute to his dedication to the sport, to the Club and to his own fitness. I know there are many of us who aspire to be as fit Mike now, let alone when we get to his stage in life! Mike, you are an inspiration and a credit to the Club and we all wish you many happy returns! You are a legend! In other news‌. Despite the cold snap, the Hares have been busy again this month. The road racing highlights were the Tarpley 10/20 and the Cambridge Half Marathon. These races are traditionally seen as good tests of fitness for those in training for Spring marathons such as London and Brighton. In the Tarpley 10 mile race, John Scaife finished a brilliant 8th over all with a time of 59 minutes and 29 seconds which placed him second in his age category. Rachel Bodsworth finished 4th in her category with a time of one hour and thirteen minutes, while Kitty Rigby, Sarah Watkins and Jaqui Cobbold all raced strongly, flying the flag proudly for the Club. Six Hares entered the 20 mile race with Scott Ramsey being the first home in a storming 2 hours and 12 minutes, putting him in overall 15th place. Dan Widdowson, Simon Fenn, Oliver Riches, Aaron Durrant and Joanne Sargent all placed well and are looking good for great marathon performances later in the spring. Not content with taking part in the Tarpley 10, Jaqui Cobbold decided that it would be a good idea to compete in the Cambridge Half Marathon just a week later. Along with Beckie Bowen and Claire Mortimer she came in at around the two and a half hour mark after tackling the scenic 13.1 mile course around the beautiful city of Cambridge. First Hare home, though, was Karl Feagan who completed in just over one hour and forty two minutes. As for the juniors, Ella Bodsworth, the junior captain says “Fifteen junior Hadleigh Hares braved an extremely muddy and challenging course around Holbecks Park on the 18th February. The course is known on the 53-12 circuit to be one of the toughest in the league and this year was no exception. Then came Halstead. Sadly, despite strong performances by our athletes, particularly from Elisa Bostock and Dan Widdowson who were second in the ladies’ and men’s races respectively, we were edged out at the last and have been relegated back down to Pool B. It was a very muddy and waterlogged affair at Halstead which made the going really tough for everyone over the five mile course. In the end, though, strength in numbers saw us overhauled by Springfield Striders despite the Hares coming a creditable third in both the male and female races. And finally. As a club, Hadleigh Hares is also heavily involved in triathlon, and we can boast a disproportionate number of Ironman athletes for such a small town. For those unfamiliar with Ironman, it is a long distance triathlon involving a 2.4 mile open water swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a marathon to finish. This year will again see a number of our members taking part in various events, the first being Paul Barton who is taking on Ironman Lanzarote in May. Meanwhile, another of our Iron distance athletes, Pat Atwood has written a few words to describe how her latest challenge, Ironman Copenhagen next August, has already taken over a fair chunk of her life. Pat has entered along

with her daughter Chloe and fellow Hare Sara Taylor-Balls. Chloe lives in Copenhagen, and Pat went there for a nice quiet 5 day holiday….. “It was a shock. I'm pretty laid back when it comes to training, but Chloe is super keen even though she has a hectic full time job. On arrival, my first necessity was to hire a bike. Bike maintenance is not a priority in Copenhagen but I managed to find one that had both brakes and steering on my third attempt. Then all set to wobble/cycle 40 minutes to a tough 2 hour+ Watt bike session with the Copenhagen tri club and 40 minute cycle back home. Slept well that night. Thursday was a visit to the gym for an hour's bodypump followed by another hour of bodyflow. All afternoon we cycled round the bike shops looking for a tri bike for Chloe. Gym classes yoga and core that evening. Friday was swimming, then another couple of gym classes. Saturday more swimming coached by the tri club, followed by yet more watt bike, and a 5k run. On Sunday we went to an amazing deer park and ran 10k with the Running club. Not exactly with them. We all started together then they were gone! It was so cold I was wearing about 5 layers including a thick ski jacket. Afterwards some, but not me, went into the sea for a quick dip. The following week they had to make a hole with an ice pick. An hour's freezing cycle ride back to the city. Monday I flew home, and thank goodness we were snowed in so I was able to put my feet up for 5 days.” Some holiday! Hadleigh Hares are a friendly local athletics club catering for all levels and abilities from beginners to Ironman triathletes. It is a fun and friendly way of getting or keeping fit. If you fancy coming along and joining at whatever level please contact us at chair@hadleighhares.co.uk or via Facebook. There is a beginners/improvers session every Monday evening at 7pm meeting at Hadleigh Pool, and we run a session for ladies only as well as more advanced running, and mixed ability swimming and cycling sessions throughout the week with our qualified coaches.

Suffolk Rockets Netball Club A lot of people ask, why is Netball a winter sport? We have no idea! The juniors missed a league game due to the snow and we did need to cancel a training session, however for the next month we are training indoors due to scaffolding on the courts so at least we are nice and warm.....for now! The two Junior teams continue to go from strength to strength in the Colchester Junior League, Cosmic Rockets continue to sit in 3rd place and Saturn Rockets in 4th. On 8th March it was the battle of the Rockets with Cosmic V Saturn, was a really good competitive game with Saturn just taking the win 12-9. On 15th March Saturn played KATs Kestrels and despite a slow start Saturn won 11-6, Cosmic played KATs Savannah Meats who are top of the table, at half time there was only one goal in it however injury struck Cosmics which saw KATs take the win 16-7. On the 24th February the Junior players were invited to a match play session with the South Development Netball Academy, the girls did really well playing nearly 2 hours of solid games. The girls really enjoyed the challenge and they took away a lot of positives and areas to work on. We are now looking for girls who will be school year 7s in September to join us next season, if interested please contact the club for more details on taster sessions. Our Ladies/Back to Netball sessions continue to be as popular as always, we have two adult teams taking part in a Back to Netball Tournament on 25th March and some friendly matches booked in, its important that we ensure the ladies have match play to put into practice what they are learning. Our sessions are always open to new players, just turn up Wednesdays 8-9pm Hadleigh High Sports Centre. We are pleased to announce Tara Corbett will be joining the club as Assistant Head Coach, this is fantastic news for the club and players. Tara brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, and we welcome her with open arms. suffolkrocketsnc@hotmail.com. FB/Twitter - Suffolk Rockets NC https://suffolkrocketsnetballclub.weebly.com
