Electric charging points are here!

An Electric Vehicle Charging Point has been installed at the Maiden Way Car Park in Hadleigh, making the town more accessible for green minded motorists.

Babergh District Council has installed the ‘fast’ charging point and now opened it for public use. Up to two cars at a time can use the point, at two special parking bays in the Maiden Way Car Park on Magdalen Road, Hadleigh. Electric vehicles can charge using the Type 2 Mennekes connector, the most common electric charging connection.

The point provides electricity at a cost of 30p per kW with a £1 connection fee. Payment is accepted via a smartphone app or using a contactless RFID Card available from EVDriver.

The charging point was installed by EV Driver, a company who have installed charging points across the UK and worked towards CO2 reduction over the last nine years. This is the second charging point installed by EV Driver for Babergh District Council, following a similar point installed in the Kingfisher Leisure Centre Car Park in Sudbury last September.

Cllr Tina Campbell, Babergh District Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “Car emissions are one of the largest contributors to air pollution, which can have a devastating impact on people’s health as well as on the environment. We are encouraging motorists to swap their petrol or diesel cars for electric vehicles and making it easier for them to do so by installing this charging point. This will enable residents and visitors to Hadleigh to travel in a more environmentally-friendly way.”

Drivers can find further details of the network and register online to make payments, via EV Driver’s website at: www.evdriver.co.uk

Fidelis Activity News Belchamp Hall: By the time this goes to print Fidelis will be in its 13th year and ready to enjoy another full programme of speakers and events until June 2019.

First in the new club year was a Sunday outing to the elegant Belchamp Hall at Belchamp Walter. Members were warmly greeted by PA, Helen Turner, and resident owner Charles Raymond (photo centre). Charles wasted no time in introducing the group to his ancestors via the many paintings which adorned the walls in every room. It is a light cheery house with many unique architectural features and an eclectic collection of antique furniture and memorabilia. The group were able to enjoy Charles’ many entertaining anecdotes and background stories about his home and past family members. The tour ended with refreshments in the converted stable block and a wander round the gardens and nearby church. A most enjoyable, relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Lunch Bunch: Assington Barns was the venue for the monthly foodie gathering. This small rural complex has changed considerably since our last visit. The restaurant has been greatly extended and the garden centre has disappeared. The menu offered diners a wide choice of tasty lunch dishes plus several different all day breakfasts. We enjoyed a leisurely meal and the opportunity to shop afterwards at the Gift and Farm Shops next to the restaurant.

Croquet: Taster sessions are a wonderful way to try your hand at a new sport especially if that happens to be croquet. Fran Rousham, from Ipswich Croquet Club, patiently introduced members to the basics i.e. choosing and holding a mallet before allowing us onto the desiccated lawns to practice. We were soon able to have a game only needing some directional guidance to be sure the balls went through the hoops in the correct order and direction. Everyone enjoyed the challenge regardless of their ability and after some seasonal refreshments, took up their mallets once again. JD

New dedicated clinic in Hadleigh offering earwax removal Every year in the UK, approximately 2.3m people experience problems with earwax and need to have it removed. With more and more GP Surgeries reducing their wax removal services with long delays to get an appointment, one local hearing care company has joined forces with a Hadleigh healthcare centre to try and help.

The Hearing Care Centre, based locally at Health By Design on Hadleigh High Street, will be offering both ear syringing and microsuction from Thursday 16th August 2018. The private ear care clinics will be held every other Thursday morning between 9am-1pm.

The award-winning company that celebrates it’s 20th anniversary this year, also runs a hearing clinic from the centre every Tuesday, which helps those in need with hearing difficulties.

Caroline looks to ‘Brave the Shave’!

I am a part time Practice Nurse at Hadleigh Boxford Group Practice and a part time Parish Nurse in Capel St Mary. I have decided to "brave the shave" and have my head shaved to raise money for Macmillan.

Statistics now suggest that 1 in 2 of us will be affect by cancer at some point in our lives. I want to raise money to support these people. In the run up, I let my daughter, Sophie (7) decide what colour to dye my hair so I have red and purple hair for the next month. It has started a lot of conversations at work and at school! I am having my head shaved at Hadleigh Health Centre on Friday 3rd August at 12 noon for anyone who would like to come down and watch! Sophie is looking forward to helping shave my head.

There are a few ways to sponsor me. Either on line - look at the Brave The Shave website and then search for my name, Caroline Ursell. Alternatively you can text SHAVE 12689 to 70550 to donate £5 to Macmillan Cancer Support. https://bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk/shavers/caroline-ursell There is also a bucket at Hadleigh Health Centre if you would like to put cash in their instead.

Thank to everyone who is supporting me and sponsoring me to raise money for Macmillan. If there are any hairdressers in Hadleigh that would like to volunteer their time to come along to the event and tidy up the head shave then please get it touch.

Join us for An Evening with Lord Tebbit 21st September 2018 We are pleased and fortunate to announce that Lord Tebbit will visit Hadleigh for an informal interview on Friday, 21st September, 2018. We look forward to welcoming you to this special event. Norman Tebbit was an MP from 1970 – 1991, having served as a BOAC pilot/navigator before that. He held many offices while an MP, including Parliamentary-under-Secretary of State for Trade 1979; Minister of State for Industry 1981; Secretary of State for Employment 1981; Secretary for Trade and Industry 1983; Chancellor Duchy of Lancaster and Chairman of Conservative Party 1985-1987. He was a member of Margaret Thatcher’s Cabinet.

Many of us will remember that he was severely injured in the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel, Brighton in 1984. He was awarded the Companion of Honour in 1987 and entered the House of Lords in 1992.

We are delighted that Norman Tebbit has agreed to this ‘Parkinson-style’ interview. We will be asking him about his public life and his life in Suffolk.

There will be an opportunity for questions.

The event will be held at the Grand Hall, The Town Hall, Hadleigh at 7.30pm, Friday 21st September. Entry is by ticket only, bought prior to the event.

Tickets are £10 each and can be bought by contacting Sylvia Martin: 01473 823430 or emailing: smartin.chelwood@outlook.com

Guidance for NHS Patients Travelling Abroad 1. NHS Patients travelling for three months or less: 1.1 Pre-existing condition Take with you sufficient medication to cover the journey and to allow you to obtain medical attention abroad. A 28 day prescription is sufficient. If additional medication is required, you are advised to register with a local doctor once abroad. A prescription cannot be issued for patients who are already abroad.

In exceptional cases e.g. where you are constantly travelling and are unable to register with a local doctor; you may be prescribed up to a maximum of 3 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supply. Please note that where medication requires frequent monitoring for example warfarin, it may not be appropriate to prescribe for such an extended period.

1.2 Just-in-case Treatments GPs may not prescribe on the NHS any medication which is requested solely in anticipation of the onset of an ailment whilst outside the UK, but for which treatment is not required at the time of prescribing (e.g. travel sickness, altitude sickness, antibiotics or rehydration sachets for diarrhoea).

You are advised to purchase these items where possible. A charge may be levied for writing a private prescription for such pre-emptive medication. For conditions unresponsive to self-medication, you should normally seek medical attention abroad. NB. Many UK prescription only medicines are available to purchase without a prescription abroad.

2. NHS patients living or travelling abroad for more than three months of the year Take with you sufficient medication to cover the journey and to allow the patient to obtain medical attention abroad. A 28 day prescription is sufficient.

You are advised to register with a local doctor for continuing medication; this may need to be paid for by yourself. You should check with the manufacturer that the medicines required are available in the country being visited.

GMS regulations state that patients should be removed from the GP practice list by the NHS England Area Team where notification has been received from the patient that they intend to be away from the UK for a period of at least 3 months.

3. Taking controlled drugs abroad Patients travelling abroad with controlled drugs, irrespective of the duration of travel, are advised to carry a letter, issued by the prescribing doctor or drug worker. Travellers are advised to contact the embassy, consulate or high commission of the country of destination (or any country through which they may be travelling) regarding the legal status and local policy on the importation of controlled drugs.

4. Malaria prophylaxis Patients are advised to purchase prophylaxis over the counter where possible.

GPs will NOT prescribe medicines to prevent malaria on the NHS.

SWIM THE SUMM MER

News from Kersey School Squirrels (Reception) What a year! Squirrels have enjoyed learning about a huge amount this year and this half term has been no different. They have enjoyed learning all about dinosaurs and have been carefully looking after our own dinosaur nest! We also celebrated our class assembly and music concert which was great fun. Well done Squirrels for a fantastic year and enjoy your Summer!

Hedgehogs (Years 1 and 2) This half term we have been learning about Oceans and Seas. Hedgehogs have extended their learning through our Forest School sessions at Bridges farm. The children have enjoyed looking for treasure, making pirate ships and making pirate traps in the woods.

On Wednesday we also enjoyed a pirate themed day where the children dressed up as pirates and took part in a number of related activities including making treasure maps. It was lovely to share our learning with our parents during the afternoon.

Badgers (Years 3 and 4) Badgers have been working hard on learning all of the songs for this years performance of The Lion King. We are very excited to be performing this along with Owls class at the end of the year. In DT we have almost finished our spinning toys, for this we have had to use: saws, drills and be precise with our measurements. In Literacy we have been writing our own adventure stories, these range from those based around magic to a murder on The Orient Express! As a class we really enjoyed Sports Week, especially the circus skills session where we used hula hoops, diabolos and even a unicycle!

Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls class have been busy rehearsing their production of The Lion King with Badgers class. Once they returned from their fantastic residential at African Adventure, it was all hands to the deck to practise! They are all very much looking forward to performing this week and sharing their play with their audiences. This week, we also say goodbye to our Year 6s, who this year are all heading up to Hadleigh High. We wish them the best of luck!

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

Stoke-by-Nayland WEA presents a series of 7 two hour lectures starting on Thursday 27th September 2018 in Stoke-by-Nayland Village Hall at 7.15 pm.

This course is about 1930s aviation - Glory Days & Golden Girls - romance & drama when pioneers risked their lives exploring air routes and developing technologies for safer air travel. It includes the lives and achievements of famous 1930s aviation personalities - Amelia Earhart; Amy Johnson; Beryl Markham etc plus male contemporaries - Jim Mollison; Francis Chichester; Charles Kingsford Smith etc. Technological achievements are explored pressurisation - the advent of "modern" airliners and the role and fashions for air stewards. We look at the heyday of airships and the tragedies enveloping that technology as war clouds hastened aeronautical development as well as looking at human interest accounts and personal stories reflecting the challenges and excitement of that bygone era.

Ian McLachlan was born in Scotland and grew up in East Anglia with its rich aviation heritage. He's an aviation author, historian and the resident historian for the successful TV programme “Plane Resurrection” – series 1 has screened in numerous countries with series 2 launching this year and he’s already working on series 3. He has tutored for the WEA since retiring from the “day job” . His theme is aspects of aviation but emphasizing the human interest approach Fees: Adult £52 (payable after the first session).

WoW Sudbury Returns for the Fourth Year WoW Sudbury is calling all women and girls to get on their bike - Wow Sudbury returns on Sunday 16th September following last year’s successful event with over 128 women and girls taking part. With a choice of a 5, 20 or 50 mile route available through the countryside and cycle paths around Sudbury and surrounding villages. Starting at Acton Village Hall, the ride will be fully marshaled, signed and with on route stops for tea and cake, open to women and girls aged eight and over of all abilities.

Tracey Loynds, Chief Executive of South Suffolk Leisure said: “We are delighted to be hosting the fourth WoW event in Sudbury especially after the success of last year’s event. One of the most fulfilling aspects of WoW is seeing the joy on the faces of the women and girls taking part, often rediscovering the pleasure of being on a bike, and this is reflected in many of the testimonials we received at last year’s event.

“Superb event! Very well organised, thank you to everyone involved”. “Well organised route ride with the best cake at the end”. “Loved the ride and really appreciate the motivation from volunteers and support riders, will definitely be back next year “ St Nicholas Hospice Care’s Community Fundraiser George Chilvers said: “We are very grateful to be having WoW Sudbury in aid of the hospice again especially after the amazing amount raised last year of £6000, as we rely so heavily on the local community to help us enable people to have the very best experience in the final chapters of their lives. As the palliative care provider for Sudbury, it’s so important for us to get support from the town and surrounding areas – this event is doing just that. Please sign up and together we really can help. Thank you.” To register for the WoW Ride visit https://stnicholashospicecare.echoleft.com/charity-events/women-on-wheelssudbury .

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk At last, some good news for constituents on the controversial matter of housing. Of all the issues that face our communities, I can think of none more controversial – including Brexit – than where homes should or should not be built. But for the time being at least, we have just gained a little more control over that difficult decision making process. Babergh’s biggest issue with housing developments has been the five-year land supply planning policy.

Since April 2017, Babergh has not been able to demonstrate this supply which left them open to speculative planning applications that would not normally have been accepted under their local planning policies. In fact, I recently held a parliamentary debate on this policy to outline the issues that we have faced.

As such, I am delighted that Babergh District Council has now announced that they have restored the five-year land supply bringing much greater control over planning decisions back to local people. It also means that local policies once again become the priority in considering applications, including neighbourhood plans, ensuring the development is decided by our locally elected representatives, instead of increasingly relying on the planning inspector over whom we have little or no accountability.

Of course, it is worth stressing that does not mean we will suddenly stop seeing new homes built in Babergh. Nor will ‘unpopular’ development cease since homes have to go somewhere. What we need to see is a sustainable level of delivery, a sweet spot resulting in neither disproportionately developing in inappropriate locations nor seeing any single proposal for new homes opposed and defeated. We should also remember that developers could potentially appeal the presence of a five-year land supply and so it remains vital not only that Babergh continues to work to deliver its joint local plan, but that communities continue to prepare neighbourhood plans. If anyone in a village considering a neighbourhood plan thinks this positive change is reason not to produce one I would argue the opposite: this is the ideal time to get a neighbourhood plan in place so that communities are ready if at some point in the future we once again lose our five-year land supply.

Hadleigh Artists at Auction Reeman Dansie’s bi-annual dedicated auction of East Anglian Art and Artists features significant works from Hadleigh’s celebrated East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing, often known as the ‘Benton End Group’. This artistic community flourished in the mid-20th century, nurturing the talents of Lucien Freud, Maggi Hambling and others, drawing significant writers, thinkers, scientists, botanists and others notables to the Bohemian haven which Cedric Morris and Lett Haines fostered at Benton End. There has been a tremendous surge in interest and prices for the Benton End artists which has seen many world record prices tumble in recent years.

Colchester Auctioneers Reeman Dansie have sold many of the notable works which have emerged in recent years and are recognised market leader in this field. Our September auction includes a significant Cedric Morris oil on canvas, titled Mrs Pemberton’s Garden in Cyprus, estimate £20,000-30,000 and numerous further works by members of the Benton End school including Alan Walton, Lucy Harwood and others. Our well established dedicated East Anglian Art auction celebrates the breadth and depth of artistic heritage of our Region. Other notable artists already consigned for this sale include Edward Seago, John Nash, Cavendish Morton, Henry Moore, Thomas Churchyard, Clive Madgwick, and Reginald Brill.

Entries for Reeman Dansie’s East Anglian Sale are invited until 3rd September, the sale will be held on 25/26 September with previews at our Colchester sale-rooms on 22nd September 9am-1pm and 24th September 9am-6pm.

Staff celebrate good CQC The inspector who visited the Kingsley Healthcare run home on May 15 found the service to be good overall and good in every category, judging it to be safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. The inspection was the first since the Suffolk-based family owned company took over the home last year, committing significant investment on improving the building and landscaping the gardens. Home manager Marie Smale said: “We are passionate about providing outstanding care at Hadleigh Nursing Home and are thrilled to receive such a positive first report.” The inspector reports the positive comments of residents, one of whom told him: “All of the staff are very nice indeed”. Another said: “The staff always respect my dignity and that is very important to me.” The report observes that “people were cared for and supported by staff who knew them well and understood their preferences and dislikes”.

Care plans clearly showed people had been involved and supported in how their care was planned and delivered. The inspector found there were enough staff on duty day and night and observed that robust procedures were in place for recruitment. Staff responded quickly to residents’ requests for assistance and always took time to talk to them, not rushing away to perform other tasks.

The inspector found that systems are in place for on-going training; and one member of staff told him that the most effective training they had completed was by wearing an age simulation suit (Gert). He explained this enabled the wearer to experience what it felt like to have conditions such as visual impairment, hearing loss, compromised mobility and tremors. The report praises the home’s daily activities and observes that staff know what individuals like to do. “We observed a person happily walking round the garden with a member of staff. This person was smiling and chatting about the plants and we saw the staff member cheerfully interacting with them,” said the inspector.

The report notes that residents were complimentary about senior staff at the home.

Kersey Mill Newsletter It has been a great pleasure in recent weeks to welcome various clubs and organisations to Kersey Mill. Bildeston Ladies Club and Hitcham After-Seven Club enjoyed a beautiful warm summers evening here for a tour of Kersey Mill and were provided with refreshments at The Copper Kettle. Our open days have also been well attended by individuals during the month. The Volunteers of The National Trust at Flatford Mill visited one morning to see how the restoration is progressing.

Works to phase 3 of the restoration of Kersey Mill are proceeding well. The Hurst Frame is a heavy wooden frame supporting the gears and three pairs of water driven mill stones. We are now working on the upper section of the Hurst where the mill stones sit. This is known as the bed and the lower stones that sit on it are not surprisingly known as the bed stones.

The section of bed, between the original timber Hurst for the water driven side and the cast iron Hurst that formed the steam driven side, is coming together nicely as can be seen from the attached photographs.

A horizontal Lay Shaft runs through the Hurst Frame in a straight line with gearing transferring power to the mill stones via a Wallower and Crown wheel.

Most of the frame was badly decayed, and the machinery needs complete overhaul and all the wooden teeth will need replacing, this will be part of phase 4 that will hopefully commence in 2019.

Although we are in the middle of a heatwave that has resulted in very little water to run the wheel it is hard to believe that works on our annual fundraising event of Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workshop is underway and tickets are already on sale.

Lavenham Sinfonia Summer Concert June 24 2018 The place to be on Sunday evening June 24 was Lavenham Church and the summer concert of the Lavenham Sinfonia, those who were not there missed a very exciting and very well performed concert dedicated to Mozart’s music.

Mozart is the most popular classical music composer having over 20 pieces listed in the Classic FM Hall of Fame. Last night’s concert opened with a sparkling performance of the overture to the opera “The Marriage of Figaro”.

It is fast and vivacious reflecting the cheeky character of Figaro the leading part, The orchestra were in fine form expertly conducted by Musical Director Jeremy Hughes. It was followed by the 4th Violin Concerto played by the Suffolk Born violinist Rosemary Hinton. This popular concerto is in 3 movements each of which allow the soloist to show off their skill and technique, this was particularly true in the solo cadenzas at the end of each movement in which Ms Hinton demonstrated outstanding virtuosity in these very demanding solo pieces. Altogether it was a spectacular performance.

After the interval Ms Hinton joined the very large audience for a powerful performance of the 39th Symphony – the first of Mozart’s last 3 great symphonic pieces. Superbly played by the strings and ably supported by the woodwind and horns the piece produced a strong finale to this spectacular concert. As the final movement of the symphony drew to a close the evening sun radiated through the upper windows of the church bathing the stone pillars in a soft golden light. Truly one of this summer’s highlights.

The final concert of this year’s season is on Sunday September 23rd and is dedicated to the Baroque period with works by J S Bach, Handel and Telemann. It sees the return of Mark Saberton who will be remembered for his success in last years performance of Beethoven’s 9Th Symphony and will be the soloist for Bach’s great cantata “Ich habe genug”. Please do not miss it!

What Is CBD? Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in the organic flowers of the hemp plant, on the hemp farms of Europe. CBD is fat soluble – as a result, when you swallow CBD your body only uses a tiny percentage of it, while the vast majority is flushed out your system unused. It’s for this reason we recommend holding CBD under your tongue for a few minutes before swallowing it, to give it time to get into your bloodstream..

However, it’s important to stress that, unlike THC, it doesn’t have psychoactive qualities and won’t make you “high”. New to the range is a water soluble drinking cannabis oil ideal for children with conditions.

Is it Addictive? One of the common questions surrounding CBD oil and other CBD products is whether it has addictive properties. The resounding answer is no, it certainly isn’t addictive. In fact, CBD oil presents a fantastic opportunity to gain all the benefits of the Cannabis plant, at a controlled dosage, with no risk of addiction or ill effects.

Recent Meetings “Around the World in a Container Ship” was the interesting talk by Peter Hesketh, a former Police Officer & Merchant Navy Purser on Wednesday 11 July. As a lone passenger for around 4 months it positively was not a cruise. He explained the attraction of and comments on, life at sea when the ship spends so little time in port.

Future Meetings & Diary Dates As suggested by Members we are introducing our first August meeting, on Wednesday 8th, when Tania Harrington MA, artist, art lover and researcher will talk on “Art Attack- A History of Vandalism In Art". She will look at works of art that have been vandalised over the years and the reasons behind these criminal attacks, divided into Political Motivations, Mad Attacks and Artist Attacks. It will be a serious, at times disturbing, but also humorous illustarated talk. On 12 September Taff Gillingham, Historian, will present a very British view on “Remembrance And The Great War”. Taff advises film makers emphasising the need for historical accuracy on the 1914/18 War. Richard Heap, Production Director, Stephen Walters & Sons Ltd will introduce us to “Silk Weaving in Sudbury”.

SEH BAC charity initiative a hit with both staff and community Award-winning home improvement firm SEH BAC is well known for its work in the community – and another staff initiative has been given the thumbs up. Every SEH BAC member of staff can take a paid day off work to do community work and support worthy causes.

This could be anything from giving your local scout hut a lick of paint, volunteering at a local community centre, or helping with a charity event. It’s all thanks to an initiative from SEH BAC’s parent company, the Ipswich-based One Group Construction and it’s One Group Foundation.

One Group Construction is a £160M group of specialist construction companies which complete major infrastructure and construction projects across the UK. Employees from across the group have taken part in charitable golf days, competed in marathons, volunteered at soup kitchens and thrown themselves into charitable walks and treks, all for worthy causes.

Since its launch in August 2017, the foundation has supported more than 33 Foundation Days and by doing so, One Group have played a part in raising £142k for various charities, not by donating money themselves but by employees raising money through Just Giving pages and charity days. Karla Bryan from SEH BAC, who volunteered at a homeless shelter, said: “I had a really enjoyable day and it was a very rewarding experience to be able to help those in need. Since then I have set up my own soup kitchen in Southend called One Love Soup Kitchen to help people who are sleeping rough. “The Foundation Days are a wonderful idea and it is great that SEH BAC see charity work and volunteering as an important and integral part of what they do.”

John Savage, Managing Director of SEH BAC, comments: “Here at SEH BAC we are proud to have won many prestigious awards for our work in the community over the years and the One Group Foundation Days are all about using our collective power as a business and workforce to make a difference by donating time, effort and resources to causes that really matter. “Everything we do has to be meaningful and have a real benefit or relevance to our company, our people and our community.”

SEH BAC operates 15 showcentres across East Anglia, the South East and the Home Counties and last year the firm was named ‘Installer of the Year’ at the glazing industry’s prestigious G17 Awards, beating competition from 13,000 double glazing companies from across the country to win the coveted prize. In addition to windows, doors and conservatories, SEH BAC also specialises in replacement conservatory roofs, glazed extensions and luxury orangeries.

Swimming at Birch Farm Puddle Ducks and AquaTeach will be teaching at Birch Farm from September!

We are very excited to announce that from September swimming lessons will be available at the newly refurbished pool at Birch Farm. The pool area and changing rooms are undergoing a makeover along with state of the art dosing and heating equipment being installed.

The pool will be kept at a toasty 32 degrees and makes the perfect swimming environment for your children. Below are details for the two swim schools that will be running lessons there. The term starts w/c 10th September but booking is available now to secure your place.

Lessons will take place 7 days a week and are available for pre-school children day time and after school slots every day. There will also be lessons run across both Saturdays and Sundays.

AquaTeach Swim School AquaTeach Swim School was founded 10 years ago and to date, have taught 1000's of young children to swim. They currently use 5 pools in the area and are excited to be starting lessons at Birch Farm every weekday and Saturday morning. They have a great team of experienced teachers, many of whom are ex-competitive swimmers competing up to National Level.

Their lessons focus on teaching the correct technique from the earliest of ages "We believe that a child who learns to swim with technique and confidence from the start will continue to flourish in lessons until they are a strong, safe and confident swimmer".

Teachers are in the water with the children until they are confident at swimming a minimum 15m on all strokes. They feel this helps accelerated learning as each child can be helped with individual support.

Have you fancied hiring a private pool with your family or small group of friends? The pool will also be available for private hire outside of the lesson times. You can book a time slot and have this regular swimming time each week.

Please contact AquaTeach for more details at aquateachswimschool@hotmail.co.uk or call us on 07523 402880

Puddle Ducks lessons are suitable for babies from a few week old to 4 years. Our teachers adapt every activity to suit each child. Our baby-led swimming approach ensures that your child's needs are expertly fulfilled never forcing development, but rather nurturing it to ensure a positive experience and love of swimming.

Although fun is at their heart, Puddle Ducks classes are about much more than this. The classes revolve around bonding and play where children donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning to swim and are acquiring skills that could save their lives. We will be running lessons at Birch Farm 6 days a week and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to welcome your little ones to our lessons.

Monday July 9th 2018: This is a great year for anniversaries - RAF - a hundred years, NHS - seventy years, and not to be outdone, Hadleigh and District Garden Club - fifty years! Originally "Hadleigh and District Horticultural Society", January 1968 saw the formation of the club. So this year it is our golden anniversary and to celebrate this milestone over forty members and friends came together last month for a 'golden garden party'. Everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet and a glass (or two!) of wine, and a special birthday cake provided by Carole our treasurer, with Ruth, our president cutting the first slice.

To commemorate the event a rose was presented to Sue and Neil, our hosts for the evening, by Dave our acting chairman, and the plan was for it to be planted during the evening. However the recent dry weather meant that this ceremony will have to be held over until the autumn when we hopefully will have had some rain. The photo shows Sue, Neil and Dave and Max the dog who is very keen to help with the digging! So a good time was had by all and, with our membership continuing to increase, we hope the club will be set fair for the next fifty years.

Our next get together on Monday August 13th 2018: This month we welcome Neil Bradfield from Suffolk Plant Heritage as our guest speaker. The meeting starts at 7.30pm in Hadleigh Town Hall and is £3 for non members and £1 for members, to include refreshments. The competition for this month is ' three tomatoes on a plate'. We are always happy to welcome new members and we look forward to seeing you there.

Lavenham Art Society Exhibition 11th Annual Exhibition of Members work to be held in Lavenham Church from 18th-27th August 2018. Daily from 9am-6pm Monday to Saturday and 12 noon - 6 pm on Sunday. Admission Free. Car Parking free in village hall car park opposite. Disabled access to the Church.

Is the grass greener on the other side?

Collier & Catchpole looks at the artificial option.

As this is being written, the Wimbledon grass courts are taking a final pounding, Suffolk is enjoying unbelievably hot weather with the threat of a hose pipe ban fast becoming imminent and in spite of some great sport, “football is not coming home”. Back in the garden and away from the telly, East Anglia is looking more breakfast cereal than spring greens. But it doesn’t have to be like that.

Artificial grass, once only come across in butchers’ windows and all year-round sports pitches, is now increasingly found in your neighbour’s back yard...but you may not have realised it until now! Are you wondering how come he has a lawn and you have a crispbread? Some of the benefits of artificial grass are obvious: no lawn mowing, no watering and no fuss. Your garden is always ready for entertaining or relaxing and although some maintenance is required, your outside space can be a constant and ready to use the whole year round.

Other reasons for investing in artificial turf might include: - you do not have enough direct sunlight to keep a real lawn healthy; - space is small and does not warrant buying and maintaining a lawn mower; - you or a member of your family are allergic to grass pollen; - your busy lifestyle means weekend time is precious; - you want your children to play outside but worry about the potential dangers of either hard paving stones or muddy, unkempt grass.

The demand for the flawless vibrant green carpet of artificial grass is growing but the main reason it is doing so is quite obvious – it just looks so much better than it used to, so much so that it’s now hard to know it is not real.

At Collier & Catchpole we supply artificial turf from Artificial Grass.Com. If you are ready to look at the alternative to real grass, come in and talk to one of our Landscaping Sales Team. We can source samples and offer advice on the ground work materials that may be required for excavating soil and laying hard-core, as well as the fitting accessories. Build with Colliers and the grass can be greener on your side of the fence! colliercatchpole.co.uk Colchester 01206 715500 Ipswich 01473 689605

Down to Earth ...with Dave The continuing dry weather is causing serious problems at the moment. We have given up on the lawn, hopefully it will recover when we eventually get some serious rainfall. The numerous pots in the garden all have saucers under them and are gathered together in groups. This makes watering a bit easier and helps to create a damper microclimate around them. The hanging baskets get a good soaking at least once a day and somtimes twice. Only a few special shrubs in the borders get any water and then only if they show signs of stress.

I shall try to keep my beloved hostas alive but they are not liking this very hot dry weather. If we lose anything, as we surely will, then a trip to Beth Chatto's dry garden for some ideas on drought tolerant plants may well be needed.

On the allotment it is difficult to keep everything growing as the only watering allowed is with a watering can from one of the numerous water butts. This is mainly done of an evening when the temperature has dropped a bit.

Surprisingly the two rows of dahlias are producing masses of flowers, with a large bunch being picked for indoors at least once a week. Even digging up the potatoes is hard work as the ground is so dry and hard. One job that needed doing was to thin out the bumper crop of apples, reducing the clumps of small apples to just one fruit. This will give bigger apples later on and will stop any possible damage caused by overloaded branches breaking as the fruits get bigger.

For many years one of my favourite plants for ease of growing and a bright splash of colour was the busy lizzie, but in 2011 a killer fungal disease, downy mildew, struck them down. With no known treatment all the major suppliers removed and destroyed their entire stocks, now disease proof plants have been bred and are on sale at various outlets. A bit late for this year but we shall certainly be looking to order some for next year, they are a bit gaudy but I think they will have survived this recent hot dry weather quite well.

On my wish list for the autumn is a visit to the temperate greenhouse at Kew Gardens in London. This has recently been reopened by Sir David Attenborough after a five year restoration project costing a staggering forty one million pounds. This is the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world and is a Grade One listed building. During the restoration fifteen thousand panes of glass were replaced, around five hundred plants were taken out and housed in a temporary nursery, with an incredible ten thousand going back in.

That's all for now, Dave

The Ipswich Hospital Gynaecology Department Bladder Scanner Appeal A well supported coffee morning in April, and a sponsored zipwire challenge from the top of the maternity block at the hospital (all 120 feet of it) raised the grand sum of £1755, which includes gift aid. A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have been so supportive of this venture. I have been totally amazed at the generosity of people - some, complete strangers. I have spoken with members of the gynaecology department, who are absolutely delighted with the final figure. They have assured me that the new bladder scanner will be ordered asap.

Again, many thanks to you all, Jenny

News from Whatfield Community Council We would like to thank everyone who attended our ‘Sounds of Summer’ event on 7th July and helped to make it a very successful evening. We were all in a good mood due to the England football team’s success earlier in the day and the weather was perfect. The talented Hadleigh Ukulele group provided a melodious and enjoyable programme of songs and the BBQ was deliciousthanks to everyone who helped. The funds raised will go towards various community projects. Just recently the Council has made contributions to the Church gate project; the Playgroup’s outing to Hollow Trees Farm and fencing for the school’s new Early Years Area. Any individuals or groups in Whatfield who have any ideas for projects which would benefit the community are welcome to approach us.

Gotelee Solicitors wins UKWA Innovation in Technology Award at Annual Awards Ceremony Gotelee Solicitors has this week had the privilege of being awarded the Innovation in Technology Award at the prestigious annual UK Warehousing Association Awards Lunch, held at the Dorchester in London, on Wednesday 4th July.

The award goes to the company that has demonstrated a bold and innovative response to the changing market, by the introduction of new technology, Francesca Reason, Howard Catherall, products or processes.

Helen Crapnell and Murray Gibson The Gotelee Guardian product safety app has been designed to assist those involved in e-commerce distribution, such as Fulfilment Houses and warehouse keepers, to comply with product safety rules. The app user is taken through a simple series of defined steps to check the safety properties of products that the Fulfilment House or warehouse is handling. By using the app, Fulfilment Houses and warehouse keepers can identify products in their possession which do not comply with product safety requirements. In so doing, Fulfilment Houses and warehouse keepers can comply with their own product safety obligations to ensure that unsafe products do not leave their premises.

Use of the app generates a clear documented audit trail to demonstrate that a product safety due diligence check has been completed on a specified date and at a specified time. A report is generated which enables the Fulfilment House and warehouse keeper to then take appropriate action to ensure that unsafe products do not leave the premises. Gotelee faced tough competition; also nominated were Kardex Remstar, Neopost, Bito Storage and Avery Weigh-Tronix. UKWA Chief Exec Peter Ward said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an exceptional level of entries this year both in quantity and quality; congratulations to all the worthy finalistsâ&#x20AC;?. Howard Catherall, Transport and Logistics Law Partner at Gotelee said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled to have been selected for this award, having been chosen from such a strong fieldâ&#x20AC;?. The award comes at a great time for Gotelee with the Gotelee Guardian App having been launched and available to download from the AppStore and Google Play by not only their own clients but by the logistics community at large.

As part of the Rural Post Revision of the 1850s, Semerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first post office was opened in a house on the edge of the Common, a rather isolated position away from the rest of the population but convenient for the delivery and collection of mail bags as it lay at the top of Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill on the main road from Hadleigh to Bildeston. Short biographies are included of the seven individuals who ran Semer Post Office at four different locations, which are all illustrated.

The Brett Valley once had at least one mill in each parish, either driven by wind or by water. In Layham, the history of the present watermill is known but what about the three others that have been identified. In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Layhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lost Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, ownership of the mills and stories of their millers are told. They include a watermill that was used for fulling cloth, a smock windmill that was destroyed in a gale and a brick-built tower windmill, the site of which is now marked by a house called Windy Ridge.

After Margaret Bloomfield died in 1979, her home at Wattisham Hall was appraised for probate when the contents were listed and valued under room headings so we can see how the lady of the manor lived nearly 340 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Appraising Wattisham Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; includes a transcript of the inventory and also looks at her will, in which she outlined her funeral arrangements and distributed her largess not only to her children but also to poor women of the neighbourhood.

Tony Woodgate of Monks Eleigh is thanked for the loan of family photographs showing haymaking in Chelsworth just before the Great War. Another feature pictures summer fetes at Bildeston, Brettenham, Milden and Monks Eleigh early in the 20th century, while church spires at Aldham, Bildeston, Monks Eleigh and Hadleigh are investigated. Thorpe Morieux appears in the village sign report and hidden treasures at Cockfield and Lavenham are revealed.

Is Contented Dementia possible?

Dementia is something that affects most families at some time and many of us worry how we might cope. Yet, with understanding, living with dementia can be much less distressing. The Contented Dementia approach is one way that can help. Come along to our short public talk for anyone interested in or concerned about dementia to find out more.

It's free and you can just turn up on the day.

Saturday 1st September, 12.30 - 1pm, Hadleigh Guildhall (entrance opposite St Mary's church). We are also holding a longer practical workshop for people caring for those living with dementia, from 1.30 - 4.30. Come and learn about how you can use the Contented Dementia approach to make life better.

Hadleigh Walkers Our July walk at Bures of over 10 miles was attended by 11 who braved the temperatures of around 30 C. The Dragon walk is really a delightful one and we will run it again during cooler weather! Our August walk on Saturday 11th will again be a circular walk from Hadleigh and will follow a route via Holbecks, Doles Farm, Bower House Tye, Wicker Street Green, William’s Green, Kersey Vale and the Monks Path back to Hadleigh. The walk distance is about 8 miles in total. Anyone who wants can divert at Kersey Vale to the Kersey Bell for a refreshment while the rest of us continue back to Hadleigh. As usual, we will meet as St Mary’s School car park at 0930 and we should be back in Hadleigh around 1300. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground can be muddy or rough in places at any time of the year. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site.

Looking forward to September, we will run 2 walks, the second of which will be on Saturday 29th and will be a circular walk round Mersea Island. We have booked the Hadleigh community bus for this trip and will be limited to 14 or 16.

Cost of the walk will depend on exact numbers but is unlikely to be more than £8 per head. The walk is around 13 miles and anyone wishing to go should contact me, Gerie or Hugh and pay a non-returnable deposit of £5 to secure their place. We are still working on the route for our regular September walk on the 8th.

For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us at hadleighwalkers@gmail.com or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 0785 895 5678

Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029

Do you recall I wrote about our ex-battery henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular tour of inspection recently? I swear Gertie thinks she should eat at the table with the rest of us! The other day I caught the cheeky chicken on the kitchen chair, cranning her neck to see if dinner was ready. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more! Later that day William the cockerel came strutting into the kitchen. Anyone would think this was an animal sanctuary!

There was much reminiscing about Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football success in 1966 and the heat wave of 1976 last month. Very interesting providing we dogs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait on a hot pavement during the conversation. Even my Mexican roots donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect my little pads in that weather!

Despite the heat, the Melford Street Fair was a good day for all concerned.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope some volunteers come forward to continue this great annual event.

We have been invited to the Beth Chatto Gardens Wildlife Fair, Elmstead Market CO7 7DB. This is a beautiful venue for two days of fun family events on 22nd and 23rd August. September is busy starting with a stall at the Wickham St. Paul Dog Show, CO9 2PT at 1pm on the 8th. Our garden is also lovely thanks to our helpers putting in hours of hard work and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m off to smell the flowers. Maybe they will name a rose after me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

News from The Station I would like to introduce two new members of the team here at Hadleigh Safer Neighbourhood Team.

PC 1293 Niall Johnson has been a Police Officer for 15 years. He previously worked on Response at both Sudbury and Haverhill as well as a short time in the Custody Suite at Bury. This new role at Hadleigh is his first on an SNT. Niall has been out and about around our town for many weeks, interacting with youths in the various parks as well as getting out and about in our other 49 villages, meeting residents and discussing any issues that they raise. When I asked Niall to speak to me about his role he said “ he is looking forward to having more interaction with the community, he feels the continuity and ownership of long term problems is something that he is looking forward to tackling. He feels he can really make a difference.

PC 1397 Dave Wright has just been appointed in a new role by Suffolk Police – Community Engagement Officer (CEO). He has been a Police Officer for 12 years having spent all that time on a response team based in Ipswich. He will work alongside existing Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT) tackling locality based crime, anti-social behaviour and problem solving key local issues. He will be visible and accessible and engage within communities and will work with partner agencies and the voluntary sector.

He will also highlight and promote public events, support crime prevention initiatives and ensure timely information is provided to the public using various forms of digital media such as Twitter and Facebook. PC Wright will be using the Hadleigh SNT account to post updates, but also has his own facebook page “Ipswich West & Hadleigh Police”. He can also be contacted by email : CEOipwesthadleigh@suffolk.pnn.police.uk.

July saw the start of OPERATION PARKLAND, the Constabulary’s initiative in South Suffolk to tackle anti-social behaviour and associated criminality in the summer months. Officers from Hadleigh SNT, along with those from Ipswich West, East and Central SNT’s are all working together to target the hot spot areas that were identified, these hot spots are being patrolled regularly by officers on both foot and in vehicles.

Books, Books, Books I had a very nostalgic conversation recently with a couple of friends, about books we had owned and loved when we were children. The interesting thing was that in all cases; the books were ones that our parents had bought from the library as titles that had been taken out of circulation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually because they have become too tattered or even have pages missing. I have not met anyone yet who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a book from their early years that has stuck with them, which shows the powerful impact, early reading, and being read to, has. Being a writer, it is not, perhaps, surprising that I am also an avid reader and always have been. Books and libraries have been a big part of my life, for as long as I can remember.

Earlier this year, I began working at Hadleigh library and being a librarian is as fantastic as I had always imagined. What I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foreseen, though, was that the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;for saleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shelf of withdrawn books would still be going just as strong as when I was young; proving popular with both adults and children. Every time I sell a book to a child, I hope that maybe it will leave them with wonderful lasting memories as my early-years reading did. These days, libraries are not just holders and suppliers of books, but also provide activities and support to inspire young people to read and enjoy a wide range of books. Across Suffolk, libraries have just started the Summer Reading Challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fun event spanning the summer holidays to encourage children to read regularly whilst they are not at school. There are also song and rhyme-time sessions for babies and toddlers where they can enjoy being in the library setting and move on to borrowing books when they are ready. We know that it is important, academically, for children to be confident in their reading abilities, but it is also a skill which can give them immense pleasure too. 30 years after my mum bought a withdrawn book from our library, it still makes me smile when I think of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now, that is a long-lasting gift for only a few pence. www.jenny-may.com

Closer to home, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 40 youngsters at the Juniors every week and a group of ladies who have completed the Get Back on Your Bike course. There was also a fine turn out for the Boxford Tornado and we supported the Mud, Sweat & Gears at Hintlesham.

Stoke by Nayland Golf Week An exciting new venture for Stoke by Nayland Golf Club has been ‘Golf Week’: the brainchild of 2018 Captains Alan Line and Elaine Davidson.

Each day saw competitions of different formats.

After months of planning, the week starting on Sunday 1st July saw the Mens’ Club Champion, Ian Carter crowned and this was followed by ‘Fox and Hares’. This is a Barbara Jones, Lesley Garnett competition for golfers and non (President), Elaine Davidson, Charlotte golfers, the non golfers being Thompson and Lesley Hitchcock responsible for the putting. Over seventy competitors took part, including a 5 year old. The players, and families, all celebrated with a BBQ on the terrace in perfect weather. The Seniors’ Captain, John Wheatley, then held his charity day on Monday when he presented an interim cheque for £2500 to the Alzheimer’s Research UK. The day included two holes in one for Alan Hands and Keith Oxborrow. Tuesday was ‘Multiplier’ day with an 18 Hole competition in the morning and 9 holes in the evening. This was an opportunity to invite guests to play at Stoke.

On Wednesday members saw parts of the Constable Course they had never seen before. A wicked 9 Hole ‘Cross Country’ course devised by Pros Roly Hitchcock and Simon Dainty but the winners still came in with a magnificent scramble score of nett 31. The July 4th American food was enjoyed in the ‘Champions’ Lounge’, a new addition to the facilities at Stoke by Nayland.

The highlight of the week, for the Ladies, was the Pro Am event. The Professionals included Jamie Moul, fresh from competing in the Open Qualifier for Carnoustie, Miles Collins from the PGA EuroproTour, Charlotte Thompson from the Ladies European Tour and multi winner England International Lily May Humphreys. The Professionals played in a drawn team, with three lady members, with a team score and an individual professional score to count. The winning Professional was Jamie Moul and Charlotte Thompson headed the winning team with Elaine Davidson, Lesley Hitchcock and Barbara Jones.

On the same day the Juniors had their own competition with a closely fought competition, pairing up with an adult. The ever popular Friday Night Mixed Competition was played with a slight twist, a power play, with rewards for a more daring approach to a difficult pin placement.

The culmination event of the week was the three Captains’ Summer Ball, again a new venture for the Club. Alan, Elaine and John were joined by members, guests, families and friends with drinks on the terrace, a three course meal and dancing to ‘Grand Central’. The Captains had organised a wonderful week for members and guests alike, including perfect weather.

Opening of Outside Pickleball Courts in Capel St Mary On Sunday 1 July, South Suffolk Pickleball celebrated the opening of their 4 outside courts. The club was formed after the chair, Sue Nicol discovered Pickleball (a cross between tennis, badmington and table tennis) whilst on holiday. After returning home she tried to find a club to continue playing but was disappointed to find that there was nowhere local. South Suffolk Pickleball was formed at the end of January 2018 and now has 40 members ranging in age from 1672 years.

Pickleball is the fasted growing racquet sport in North America but is still in its infancy in the UK although it is rapidly gaining in popularity. The beauty of this game is that all ages can play together. It is believed that there are only about 6 or 7 clubs who are lucky enough to have outdoor courts. The club also plays indoors at East Bergholt Sports Centre on Monday and Friday evenings and at Hintlesham Community Hall on a Thursday morning. The addition of the outside courts will enable the club to further increase their membership.

Captain’s Charity Day at Stoke An extremely good day was held on Monday the 2nd July to raise funds for the Stoke By Nayland Senior’s Captain, John Wheatley, and his chosen charity, Alzheimer’s Research UK. The competition, played on the Gainsborough course was a stableford team challenge with all 4 to score on par 5’s, 3 on par 4’s and 2 on par 3’s.

The highlight of the day must be two hole in ones, Alan Hands, Captain John Wheatley both on the short 3rd hole, and Keith Oxborrow

by Keith Oxborrow, his 1st, and Alan Hands, his 3rd. This must surely be an extremely rare occurrence and a probably unique experience at SBN - well done to Keith and Alan.

Congratulations to the winning team of Paul Sandfield / Ian Bickers / Keith Prichard & Peter Jay who scored a very creditable 133 points.

The biggest winner of the day was Alzheimer’s Research who will have benefitted by £2400 from the days fun and games.
