RDA Celebrates 50 Years

This year the RDA celebrates 50 years of official business. There were small groups in existence before the Riding for the Disabled Association was founded, but we all come under one big umbrella now, which ensures our standards are kept high and our work gets the publicity it deserves.

In addition to that anniversary, 2019 marks the 30th year of our group’s foundation! So watch this space for news of all our celebrations and parties to come and keep some gaps in your diaries to join us. Last month the Centre put on its 20th Annual Carol Service! We were lucky with the weather again and the yard was full of our families and friends.

Refreshments at The Centre were lavish as usual, and much appreciated. Rev. Sue Foster took the service, with a talk by Father Jo Delfgou, the new Rector of Hadleigh and Shelley. Members of Serendipity Choir and the Boxted Methodist Silver Band made a huge contribution to the music and singing for which we were most grateful. Our Baby Jesus was very well behaved and the angels and wise men did their bit too. Our Ponies were represented in Church by lanterns on the Altar. It was a lovely end to the term, and thank you to Margaret for all her organisation and the hard work of her team on that Saturday in December. During the Christmas holidays the Centre was closed for business as normal. Best wishes for 2019, and see you in February folks.

Arthur Gaell for Apprenticing Foundation Registered Charity No: 310317

Calling All Apprentices and Businesses Hiring Apprentices or offering in-employment training We are delighted to be able to say that we were able to make grants to two deserving applicants in October. One who is serving an apprenticeship at an estate agency in Hadleigh and one who is an apprentice artworker.

We are hugely grateful to the Mayor of Hadleigh, Councillor Peter Matthews, who has chosen the Arthur Gaell for Apprenticing Foundation as one of his charities to benefit from his fund-raising whilst he is in office. This was completely unexpected and so completely wonderful. Thank you Peter, from all of us.

Our main criteria, as laid down by the founder of this charity way back in the mists of the 17th Century, is that grants will only be made to those living within the IP7 postcode. Their apprenticeship can be anywhere, so long as they live in IP7. A lot of people appear to think the IP7 postcode is limited to Hadleigh so we would like to change this perception and invite applicants from: Aldham & Aldam Tye, Ash Street, Bacon’s Green, Bildeston, Bird Street, Brettenham, Chelsworth, Cobblers Corner, Cook’s Green, Cross Green, Drakestone Green, Elmsett, Great Bricett, Greenstreet Green, Hadleigh, Hadleigh Heath, Hitcham, Kersey, Kersey Tye, Kersey Upland, Kettlebaston, Layham, Lower & Upper, Lindsey, Lindsey Tye, Milden, Monks Eleigh, Monks Eleigh Tye, Naughton, Nedging, Nedging Tye, Oaks Tye, Raydon & Lower Raydon, Rose Green, Semer, Shelley, Stackyard Green, Swingleton Green, The Woodlands, Water Run, Wattisham, Wattisham Airfield, Wattisham Stone, Whatfield, Wicker Street Green, William’s Green, Wolves Wood.

(Phew!) OK, own up – who knew the IP7 postcode stretched so far!

So anyone who is looking to start employment or undertake further training whilst you are in employment, and would appreciate some assistance with outfits, clothing, tools, instruments and books, just let me know and I will send you an application form. It is that simple.

We are heading inexorably into 2019 so why not encourage someone you know to make a New Year’s resolution: to give themselves or a friend, a present and get some assistance from us.

We hope you had a very happy festive season and that 2019 brings you all that you need. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you where we can.

How Can We Help You? We are happy to invite applications from anyone who has finished their education and is looking for assistance into an employed apprenticeship. We will also consider ongoing in-employment training. You must be resident in the IP7 postcode area (see above). Application forms can be obtained from jessicanevard@btinternet.com or by calling 01473 822671. All applications will be discussed by the Trustees at their quarterly meetings (January, April, July & October) and all applicants will be informed of the Trustees’ decision at the earliest opportunity following the relevant meeting.

How Can You Help Us? We are a very small charity and are happy to remain so. However, if we are to help apprentices and those continuing their training, we also need support.

We are not currently looking to undertake any formal fundraising (we simply do not have the time or manpower) but if any businesses or charitable benefactors in the IP7 postcode would consider offering us any form of funding, we would love to have a conversation with you. Again, please contact Jess Janas at jessicanevard@btinternet.com or telephone 01473 822671.

If you have any questions at all do, please, get in touch.

The Trustees thank you for your interest so far and hope to talk further with you. Jessica Janas (Chair), Brian Lazenby, Richard Whiting, Richard Finch and Matt Paisley

Couples save between 16% and 21% when making Wills A new Wills service from Holmes & Hills Solicitors in Sudbury means couples now save between 16% and 21% on legal fees when making Mirror Wills at the same time. Married couples, civil partners and co-habiting couples will benefit from the saving.

Why make a Will at all? Quite simply, if you do not make a Will the law says who inherits your estate. Most people assume that everything would pass automatically to their partner but this is not necessarily so and certainly if you are not married or in a civil partnership, they will have no automatic right to inherit any part of your estate. Your estate may pass to the person or persons you would not want to inherit. It may result in financial hardship for your loved ones or an expensive court action.

Making a Will ensures that the people you want to benefit when you die receive your estate. Holmes & Hills Solicitors are experienced to be able to draft a Will that is tailor made to meet your specific requirements.

Our clients often wish to receive advice as follows: • How to update an existing Will • How to leave their estate in the most tax efficient way • How to provide and protect young children – who will look after your children if you die, where will they live and who will look after the money they inherit?

• How to provide for a disabled child or adult • Provide for children from a former relationship • How to set up a trust • How to provide for vulnerable adult children perhaps going through a divorce or financial problems • How to plan for future care needs • How to protect your contribution to the purchase price of a property when you live with someone else* • How to give away an inheritance in a tax efficient manner** Declaration of Trust * Deed of Variation **

If you have children from a previous relationship Making a Will is very important for couples who may have children from previous relationships and want to ensure that their money will pass to their own family.

No better time to make a Will – save up to 21% There really is ‘no time like the present’ for you and your partner to make your Wills. If Holmes & Hills did not draft your existing Will it doesn’t matter, we are still able to advise you and prepare a new one should you wish to do so.

Call us to ask about making your Wills Call Holmes & Hills Solicitors on 01376 320456 (Essex) or 01787 275275 (Suffolk)

Stowmarket Chorale holds audience spellbound The Apex concert hall in Bury St Edmunds was packed to the rafters for Radio Suffolk’s Carol Concert on 1 December in aid of Children in Need. A varied programme included local choral society Stowmarket Chorale, a brass band, a children’s choir, readings, and opportunities for the audience to sing along. Both audience and performers went away afterwards with happy smiles and in thoroughly festive mood, and had raised £3000 for Children in Need.

Stowmarket Chorale brought out all the emotion and drama of the popular nineteenth-century French carol O Holy Night, and their Music Director Tom Appleton performed the solo melody in The Three Kings while his choir provided the serene and contemplative chorale tune interwoven with it. An exuberant version of Jingle Bells had the audience laughing along with the choir. Then in the second half came a change of gear - Silent Night was performed by Stowmarket Chorale with breathtaking poise, first hummed, very, very quietly and then sung with feeling in both German and English before returning to the final, tiny humming. There were some five hundred people in the hall, including children, but you could have heard a pin drop. The Chorale then showed it could let its hair down too and give the music some welly, as it belted out Slade’s Merry Christmas Everybody – but it still managed clear diction and some very well-controlled sudden pianissimos.

Stowmarket Chorale showed off the full dynamic and stylistic range that can be achieved by this 60-strong choir under the leadership of its talented and charismatic new Music Director Tom Appleton, appointed less than four months ago.

The next major concert by Stowmarket Chorale will be Brahms’ well-loved German Requiem, at the United Reformed Church in Stowmarket on 30 March. Rehearsals start on Weds 9 January 7.30-9.30pm at Chilton Primary School, Violet Hill Road, Stowmarket. New singers welcome. www.stowmarketchorale.org.uk

Learning and Growing Together Able Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day Two of our children attended an Able Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day at Chilton Community Primary School on Wednesday 10 October 2018. They worked with the brilliant poet, illustrator and performer, Ed Boxall. The children gained a great deal from working with him throughout the day. The event also tied in nicely with National Poetry Day. Guide Dogs for the Blind Assembly All of our children were visited by members of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. They kindly presented an assembly for the school followed by a workshop for our Year 3/4 children.

Girls Science Day On Monday 5 November, we sent children from Bildeston and Whatfield to an event at Old Buckenham Hall School. The day was specifically aimed at girls in year 5 and was an exciting opportunity for them to compete in a variety of STEM subject challenges. They had the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to work together to problem solve and complete tasks.

Teams were judged and prizes awarded to the leaders in each activity.

Sports Event This Term Children from across the school took part in the following events: U11 Cross Country at Hadleigh High School/ U11 Tag Rugby at Hadleigh High School, U11 Tag Rugby at Inspire Suffolk, U9 Dodgeball at Inspire Suffolk/ U11 Dodgeball at Inspire Suffolk. All of the children that took part thoroughly enjoyed the events and came back with great results and some fair play awards all of which are handed to the children at our weekly Celebration assembly.

PTFA News The PTFA held a very successful Cinema Night for the children on Thursday 18 October. The children also enjoyed a treat whilst they watched the movie! Lots of our children came dressed for the occasion and had beany bags and cushions to be comfortable! The PTFA also held a Christmas Fayre on Friday 30 November. They raised in excess of ÂŁ700 for the school which is wonderful! The PTFA have recently provided the school with books, phonics resources, and crackers for our Christmas lunch. We really are very appreciative of the work that they do for us.

OneLife Programme Kingfisher class have been taking part in the OneLife programme on Tuesday afternoons across a six week period. Each weekly session focussed on being healthy and why it is important to take care of ourselves. With helpful tips and advice the children got to learn all about making a healthy packed lunch, the importance of physical activity, a balanced diet and making healthy snack choices.

Children In Need We supported Children in Need on Friday 16 November raising a total of ÂŁ97.60 by donating ten pence pieces to cover our giant Pudsey template!

Fidelis Activity News Best Wishes For The Coming Year To All Who Read Our Monthly Column Ballet:- A delightful, enchanting performance of The Nutcracker Suite beamed in live to a full audience at Cineworld, Ipswich seemed to signal the start of all things seasonal.

Christmas Supper:- Over 40 members attended and much enjoyed the annual Christmas supper at the Hintlesham Golf Club. A welcome drink was followed by a tasty two course meal, coffee and mints creatively wrapped by Lin Slaughter. Service was friendly and attentive Rodin’s The Kiss:- This iconic piece is on loan from The Tate to Christchurch Mansion until 28th April 2019. Members were introduced to the contents of the complete exhibition by Curator, Emma Roodhouse. It was fascinating to hear how it came about, the pieces in it and their connection with each other.

Conservationist, Carrie Willis, gave us a remarkable insight into her work conserving some of the neglected pieces from the Museum’s basement. It was good to hear that there is also a link with this town with work by Maggi Hambling and Hadleigh - born sculptor, Thomas Woolner. After the introductory talk members were able to visit the gallery where all the pieces were skilfully displayed. A free exhibition not to be missed.

Speaker:- A chance encounter with Turkey over 25 years ago prompted Jenny Gibbs to leave the UK and move permanently to her newly discovered heaven on earth. Dressed in local costume, Jenny recounted her experiences from her first arrival to the present day.it was clear that Jenny was a true Turkish Shirley Valentine.

Having learnt the language and Liz Wilson and Jenny Gibbs with bought an old farmhouse with her traditional Turkish pantaloons Turkish partner Mustapha, they now divide their time between their restored abode and Suffolk. After the talk members thoughly enjoyed trying on and buying the many colourful, exotic Turkish scarves and stoles which Jenny had brought along. JD

A Huge Thank You from the Alison Fracella Research Trust and the Brendan Oakes Trust A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the Ansell Centre on Saturday 24th November to give us, once again, such wonderful support at our 7th joint Quiz Night. The Centre was packed for the event, we had 19 teams!

Everyone said what a great evening it was with lots of fun and laughter. The anagram round was quite a challenge although our winners (for the second year running!) scored Congratulations to the Winning Team an amazing 100%! As usual the Ploughman’s Supper went down well! On the night, after all expenses, we raised a fantastic £1,120 which we have divided between our two charities.

Almost every penny raised will go towards the work we are supporting as our charities have minimal administration costs. The Brendan Oakes Trust supports teenagers facing cancer and the Alison Fracella Research Trust is helping to fund research into brain cancer, especially in young people, at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

A big thank you to Avis Printers for printing our tickets and for selling them for us in the shop. Special thanks to Sue and Roy, to Kathy, to Heather, to Maria and Paul, to Jenny and Brian, to Neil and Carol, to Graham and Lindsay and to Emma and David for all their hard work. Many thanks also to the people who were so generous in their donations of the many fantastic raffle prizes too numerous to mention. A huge thank you to Hadleigh Tyres, to the Barber Stop, to Coes, to Mercedes Benz, to the Beauty Gallery at Lavenham and to Paul and Marion of “Wakey Wakey”. It would be fantastic to see everyone again next year! Please save the date - Saturday 23rd November 2019! A big thank you again to everyone who gave us such very generous support.

Sue and Rob Kettlewell and Val and Mark Oakes

Polstead Village Hall A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Fair on the 1st December at Polstead Village Hall, another very successful day, even though the weather was against us, with all proceeds going to the village shop.

The stall holders did well also, some asking if they could come back next year!

All the contributions for the tombola, raffle prizes and cakes were very much appreciated and helped to make the day the success it was.

The ladies in the kitchen did a brilliant job supplying a constant flow of tea and coffee and also providing bacon rolls and jacket potatoes with various fillings - where would we be without the W.I. Thank you to our parking attendants Steve and Philip for braving the weather, directing the traffic, and to all of you who are not directly involved in the day to day running of the shop, who helped or provided food. Thank you all.

Nic Carter - Community Based Personal Trainer Hello and a happy New Year to you all. I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and that your new year is blessed with much happiness and good fortune. At this time of year most of us make New Year resolutions which can be related to our health, wellbeing and fitness. More often than not though these resolutions don’t last, and we can end up going back to our old habits, even before the month of January is out.

In order to ensure that you can make resolutions that are achievable and that will last, take smaller steps to reaching your bigger outcomes. Whatever your end goal is, break this down into smaller chunks, i.e. short, medium and long term goals. After all, an elephant can only be eaten one bite at a time (metaphorically speaking).

For example, you could aim to reach your long term goal in 3 months and this could be something like, “I would like to reduce my body fat % by 5% and increase my fitness levels”. To make this more achievable, your short term goal (within 4 weeks) could be, “I will have a PT session once a week”. Your medium term goal (within 8 weeks) could be, “I will have a PT session once a week, run twice a week and aim to lower my body fat % by 2%”. By your final 4 week block, as your fitness routine has become embedded, your final goal to ensure your body fat % has decreased by 5% can be achieved, alongside your increasing fitness levels.

New Home for Lavenham Post Office In June 2016 the community in Lavenham lost the permanent site for its post office. Since July of that year the village has been served by a mobile post office van. The service, although limited has been good. However queuing outside in the rain, snow or blistering heat has not. Lavenham Parish Council have negotiated to purchase the building which previously housed Babergh’s Tourist Information Centre, which was closed down in October of this year.

The building, at 2 Lady Street, will become the new home of the Hosted Outreach Post Office. It will be operate for three hours a day, four days a week; this is the maximum the post office will currently allow. It is hoped that once it can be proved there is a demand from the community the Post Office will become a Sub Post Office with longer opening hours.

The Post Office are asking for views on their hosted outreach service. The consultation will close on 21st January 2019. Details can be found via: Consultation Hub - Lavenham CO10 9QZ.’ Work is currently being undertaken in the building. It is expected to be completed by the middle of January 2018 when we will open to also provide a community and visitors information service in the building.

JAMES CARTLIDGE MP e l p o e p e h t g in v r Se of South Suffolk

CONTACT JAMES By post House of Commons London SW1A 0AA t: 020 7219 4875 w: jamescartlidge.com e: james.cartlidge.mp@parliament.uk @jc4southsuffolk fb.com/james4southsuffolk

This certiďŹ cate is funded by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) for the purpose of assisting James Cartlidge MP in the performance of his Parliamentary duties. Printed by Keith Avis, 68 High St, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF.

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk When I last wrote this column I chose the subject of supporting local shops in the run up to Christmas. I did receive one stern email complaining that I had not written about Brexit. I am afraid that reader will be disappointed again.

Frankly, events are moving so fast in Westminster that by the time this is in print who knows what the latest development will have been, and I cannot help but suspect many of you are heartily sick of endless Brexit debate and just want us to ‘get on with it’. Most importantly, I am determined that Brexit’s dominance of political discourse must not be to the detriment of other critical matters that affect our daily lives. Crime is a key example.

I have appeared regularly in Commons debates on crime to state my concern that we seem to be experiencing a shift to a more aggressive era. Aside from the statistics, I have based this principally on the stark reality of a whole series of recent incidents in South Suffolk, the most high profile being ram raids on shops in Hadleigh and Long Melford. But behind the scenes, and particularly in our rural communities, there is great anxiety about a range of crimes we probably don’t even hear about – theft of machinery, hare coursing, and the intimidation and vandalism associated with the latter.

I was therefore pleased to hold a summit on rural crime in Lavenham Village Hall last month, attended by the Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable, together with around 100 farmers concerned about criminality. Few attendees had not been a victim of rural crime. Thus, I was pleased that in December’s Police funding settlement the Government announced up to £9m in additional funding for the Suffolk Constabulary, a significant increase, should the PCC choose to use the full powers to raise the council tax ‘precept’ that we have now granted him. If he does so, he will have my full support if this also translates into more resource on the front line and the chance of fighting back on behalf of the law abiding majority.

Hadleigh Walkers Our first walk of 2019 will be on Saturday 12th January. A nice gentle walk of around 5.5 miles to get going after the Christmas and the New year binges.

This will be a circular walk from Hadleigh. As usual, we will meet as St Mary’s School car park at 0930 and we should be back in Hadleigh around mid-day.

Our route will be Hill Farm, Rands Farm, Pott’s Cottages, Pott’s Farm, Halfway house then, depending how muddy it is, either Constitution Hill or Park Farm and back to Hadleigh. We will finish at The George and those who wish can join us for lunch and discuss walking preferences for the year.

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. A reminder that we walk every second Saturday of the month. Dates and routes are published on our website 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 07483 887658

Hello, my name is John Middleditch and I have been working in the building trade all my working life, at present 59 years and 5 months.

I started work for Percy Brown Builders in Sudbury on July 28th 1959 as a trainee decorator and in October 1964 I left that firm and worked for Barnes Decorators, also in Sudbury. I learnt more in four years with Barnes, than 5 years with Browns. In 1968 I was made redundant from Barnes. After two weeks on the dole I got some work at a building site at Fordham in Essex for four weeks before going to Pilgrims of Bures for two months, before going to Grimwoods builders in Sudbury, the firm I had tried to get on when I left school. I worked there for four years before going self-employed.

This book is not about painting a window or ceiling, but the quirky things that you do not expect to experience in a day’s work.

The director of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading heritage charity has put a call out for more entries to its second photographic competition, aimed at capturing beautiful examples of modern architecture. The Suffolk Preservation Society teamed up with Suffolk Design Review Panel, which was set up to encourage high levels of design in new developments, and launched the second Suffolk Beauty photographic competition in the middle of the summer.

The brief is for photographs of a single or group of modern buildings which entrants really like and which exhibit good design. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is being defined as meaning anything built after 1945. These can be located within Suffolk or beyond its boundaries. The brief allows photographers to include modern buildings in situ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ie those which have been successfully blended into their wider landscape or just a detail on a single building that exhibits a high level of design and craftsmanship.

The first Suffolk Beauty competition in 2016/7 received well over one hundred high quality entries, mostly pictures of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstandingly beautiful natural landscapes. According to the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Fiona Cairns: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that the second competition was going to be a far tougher assignment, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strategic reason behind this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to focus on modern beauty because Suffolk is facing unprecedented levels of new housing in coming years and we are looking for images that reflect fresh and exciting architecture that people are happy to live with and that Suffolk is, or would be, proud of.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some early entries, but now is the time for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many amateur photographers to start sending in their submissions by the dozens.

In the words of Delia Smith from across the border, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come on, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be havinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; you!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2019. A panel will then select a short-list with the winners due to be announced in spring 2019. Prizes will be awarded, with details of these to follow soon.

Please submit your images on the SPS twitter feed @SuffolkSociety using the hastag #suffolkbeauty, via the Suffolk Preservation Society Facebook page or send them via email as a jpeg image to bethany@suffolksociety.org

Have you, like so many people, come out of the Christmas period feeling a little jaded and wishing you had eaten just one less mince pie? Have you decided that this year you are going to get just a bit fitter? Do you want to shake off a couple of pounds? Do you want to meet up with other local people who want to have fun, make friends and get fitter at the same time?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then Hadleigh Hares is for you!

Lots of people start the New Year intending to improve their fitness only to find that it becomes a bit of a chore going out in the cold and damp on their own to try and run off last year’s excesses. The trip to the gym after work becomes less frequent as the weeks go on and life gets in the way of all the good intentions. Pretty soon, it can all become too much of a bother and old habits creep back. Before you know it’s back to the same old lifestyle. Joining a club like the Hares can really help you to reach your fitness goals.

Being part of a friendly local club puts you together with like minded people, all trying to improve their fitness. Mutual support, friendship and regular club sessions provide a great foundation to take you as far as you want to go - be it running a marathon or jogging around the block once a week. Even if you are already taking part in Parkrun or are out there exercising on your own, being part of a club can give you a structure that can only help and enhance your training and fitness.

Whether you have run before or you are a complete novice, Hadleigh Hares has a session to suit you and help you make your New Year’s Resolution a reality. We are always delighted to welcome new faces, and we offer beginners sessions, advanced sessions, ladies only sessions and even triathlon training if you fancy that. Why not find out more on line, on Facebook, or by contacting chair@hadleighhares.co.uk?

Back in December, the Club held its annual Awards Night. With a three-course meal and a disco at the Town Hall, the evening saw members receiving trophies in all sorts of categories from Beginner of the Year through to Marathon Runner of the Year and Ironman of the Year. Special mention goes to Scott Ramsey who, by popular vote, won the prestigious Hare of the Year Award. Scott had a great year, culminating in a new club marathon record of 2 hours and 46 minutes which he achieved in Amsterdam. Congratulations to him and to all our other prize winners, all of whom rightfully earned the respect and Scott with his haul of admiration of their fellow Hares. Next year Trophies! it could be you!

Kersey Mill Newsletter Well 2018 has been a fantastic and very memorable year for Kersey Mill.

Quite considerable progress with the restoration has been made.

We have now completed the restoration of the Hurst Frame. This leaves the stone furniture, runner stones and crown wheel repairs before we are able to produce flour.

‘Drive it day’ was a huge success with thousands of visitors. What a privilege it was to have some of the world’s most beautiful vintage vehicles on display.

The year ended with Santa’s Workshop attracting more visitors than ever before from near and far.

This was a demonstration of amazing support for an event that now attracts visitors from literally miles away.

London Essex Cambridgeshire to name but a few. We also welcomed back groups of disabled & disadvantaged children a group of deaf children from The Ipswich Children’s Deaf Society where guided through their magical experience with an interpreter who was signing for them and many other children who attended with their friends and family. Many thanks to Armour Engineering at East Bergholt Glass & Craft and all those that helped stage the event especially the amazing Santa’s Workshop team that have worked so very hard to produce an event to be very proud of.

We would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported us throughout the year and wish you all a very happy healthy and prosperous New Year.

Pilates @ Hadleigh Physiotherapy Pilates is a form of exercise and body conditioning devised by German born Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It focuses on breathing, alignment, core strength and flexibility. Clinical Pilates uses modified versions of Pilatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; original mat work exercises, making them appropriate for people recovering from injury or those working around specific conditions.

At Hadleigh Physiotherapy we offer 1:1, 2:1 sessions or small classes (max 5 clients). Our sessions are delivered by Chartered Physiotherapists and Sports Massage Therapists with a special interest in rehabilitation and Pilates.

Our aim is to deliver a personal Pilates service that is achievable, safe and effective. The Team are trained by the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI), a leading provider of Physiotherapy treatment, education and products. The APPI have reviewed each of the original Pilates movements and modified them to develop a specialised Pilates programme that reflects current research and can be made suitable for all, regardless of age, experience or fitness levels.

Clinical Pilates can help you to: Reduce back & neck pain Experience improved posture Develop better balance & coordination Increase core stability and function Improve flexibility & mobility Relieve stress & tension Increase muscle tone Improve breathing.

Clinical Pilates can be used to enhance elite performance athletes by challenging their stability and control in specific movement patterns relevant to their chosen sport, thereby improving overall efficiency and success.

Pilates for Pregnant and Postnatal Women We also offer a specialist â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bumps and Babiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pilates class for pregnant and postnatal women. This class meets the specific needs of women at any stage in the childbearing year. Babies are welcome to attend alongside mums (although no creche facilities are provided).

Pregnant and postnatal women are particularly at risk of back and pelvic pain, and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, as a result of the changes undergone during pregnancy. Pilates is ideally placed to address these changes, and to prevent or ease any aches and pains, or pelvic floor issues experienced.

There was a terrific turnout at Hadleigh Cycling Club’s AGM and Xmas meal when the Committee thanked those standing down and welcomed new members.

Mike Motteram will continue in the role of Chairman, supported by an enthusiastic Committee which has been strengthened with the inclusion of Tim Collins who will be managing the website and Fiona Holland, the new membership secretary.

Mike stressed “the importance of continuity and thanked the Secretary, Simon King and Treasurer, Nick Wilder for their hard work to ensure the Club runs effectively.” Simon will also continue to coach the Juniors in Spring 2019 along with Martin Nichols, Adam Chamberlain, Perrie Higgs and Gale Pryor. The Club is hoping to train up new Level 1 coaches early in the New Year. “We’re already looking to encourage new riders in the Spring with Farhad Abdly and Julian Cecil taking on the lead in organising Sunday social rides. Gale Pryor, Kate Billingham, and Lucy Jay will again be working with women who want to take up riding.”

Rickaby Shearly-Sanders, Phil Barnes (Time Trials), Lucy Jay (Parents Rep) and Sue Calver (Welfare) have all agreed to continue on the Committee. The Committee thanked departing Chris Heron, Ride Lead and Coach for all his efforts to steer the Club over the years, Paul Harman and Ben Lowe who has been our Junior Rep. The Chairman handed a cheque for £500 for Prostate Cancer UK to Paul Spraggons, to supplement his incredible efforts last year to raise money for the charity. He intends to complete the Grand Depart Classic in Brussels in June. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brusselspraggs Why not try our Sunday morning social rides from the George starting at 9am, weather permitting. Adults and “capable children accompanied by an adult” are all welcome. The distance is around 25 miles.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday December 10th 2018: 2018 has been an eventful year for the club a new acting chairman, new members of the committee, membership increasing, outings to pastures new and a wide range of visiting speakers, all in our 50th year. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better along comes the Christmas quiz! Mulled wine and festive fare helped us face six rounds of questions, all with a horticultural theme.

There was a tie for first place and two tie breaks to decide the winning team - a very close run thing and a very enjoyable evening. Another winner on the night was Fiona, who can be seen in the photo with Ruth, our president, being presented with a garden voucher and, for the first time this year, the chairman's trophy. This goes to the club member who is the overall winner of the monthly competitions, it is theirs to keep for the year.

Our next get together on Monday January 14th 2019: Our first speaker for the new year is Robert Canham from Notcutts garden centre. His theme is very apt for the new season- 'Plants for problem places'. The evening also includes the usual raffle and plant sale. The meeting begins at 7.30pm in Hadleigh Town Hall, £3 for visitors and £1 for members to include refreshments. We hope to see you there. www.hadleghgardenclub@gmail.com

At this time of year we look back on our achievements in 2018 and strengthen our plans for 2019. 2018 was a great year at Orchard Barn. We made steady progress at reinstating the mediaeval Suffolk timber-frame longhouse and have almost completed the shingle roofing of the additional craft room. We opened new vegetable beds and enjoyed excellent harvests from the polytunnel that was erected at the start of the year.

Next year we plan to make further improvements to the barn to grow the range of activities that we can offer. We will also increase the number and scope of courses that we provide.

New volunteers joined us in 2018 and we hope to welcome more in 2019 to help with organic gardening, site maintenance and work in the woods, as well as administrative roles. If you would like to know more about volunteering, please contact Carole Brown, our Volunteer CoOrdinator, on carole.orchardbarn@gmail.com Full details of Orchard Barn can be found on our website www.orchardbarn.org.uk. We are looking forward to what promises to be an exciting and fulfilling year at Orchard Barn. We wish our supporters and all readers a very happy and healthy 2019.

VOUCHER to admit 1 person “SHAKEN by an EARTHQUAKE” Quay Theatre, Sudbury - Tuesday, 15th January @ 2 pm One of the greatest collaborations of all – Serge Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes.

The 1913 premiere in Paris transformed expectations of what a night at the theatre could be & divided the opinions of the first night audience dramatically. Dancers, costumes and set changes as never seen before.

The lecture looks at the original costumes & plays excerpts of the inventive score. SANDY BURNETT worked as Music Director for the RSC, the National Theatre & various other West End Theatres. He was also a Radio 3 Music Presenter for ten years.

Down to Earth ...with Dave Generally I try to garden organically, this is not always possible. For instance, when vine weevils infest the fuchsias in pots or when black spot devastates the rose bushes, or perhaps something like ground elder or bindweed is trying to take over a flowerbed. On the whole things like slugs and snails can be controlled by picking them off and dropping them in a pot of salty water. Slug pellets are not used as they can be harmful to visiting hedgehogs and birds.

If you encourage birds in the garden by regular feeding and keeping fresh water available then most of the aphid type pests are eaten by the various small birds that visit.

The organic theme is very evident on the allotment with the use of massive amounts of home produced compost. Over the years the soil has been improved with the addition of barrow loads of this magic stuff. Making good compost is I think, very simple but not everyone agrees and it is easy to end up with a nasty, slimy smelly mess.

Compost is made from rotted down organic material, virtually anything is compostable - garden waste, kitchen vegetable scraps including the outer leaves from leeks and brassicas, grass cuttings, paper shreddings, some newspaper and cardboard, leaves picked up with the lawnmomer and old bedding straw from the pet rabbit. Young weeds and foliage (but not roots) soft hedge trimmings, old flowers and bedding plants and, on the allotment, horse manure from the nearby stables plus some aviary floor sweepings. Some things not to put on the compost are meat, fish and dairy products, any cooked food, coal or coke ash (wood ash is fine), cat litter or disposable nappies.

We seem to generate quite a lot of material so we have four large heaps on the allotment. When a heap is full it is covered with old carpet and left to rot down, the heaps are not turned and each heap is ready for use after about a year.

The system in the garden is a bit different with a plastic dalek type bin used.

In this the material is continually put in the top and removed from the bottom when ready. Getting the compost out can be a bit difficult so it is sometimes easier to lift the whole bin off to get to the bottom layer. The quality of this compost is better as it contains more spent potting compost and selected chopped up waste.This is mainly used to mix with bought in bags of multi purpose compost to make them go further in the numerous pots we have, it is not used for seed sowing or young plants. The secret is to feed the soil rather than the plant, and the best way to feed the soil is with homemade compost. It is nature's black gold, it will make your soil fertile as well as giving it a good structure.

That's all for now, Dave

Milden Singers perform all-time classics in their Best of Broadway Concerts The Choir, who were dressed and sparkled like the cast of 42nd Street treated the audience to songs from this and other hit Broadway Musicals including Carousel to Showboat. As always their concerts include fun elements, solos and on this occasion a Male only Choir! The rousing finale which included ‘We’re in the Money’ was a fitting ending to the show, as all proceeds from the concerts, which totalled £1350 was donated to Motor Neurone Disease Association. This was gratefully received by both Mandy Coll’s who have been raising money locally for MNDA. Milden Singers next concerts will be on 17th and 18th May with more details to follow in due course

The New Year is here and you have decided that you would like to move house. Here are five things to think about when looking for a new property.

Look at your budget, What can you afford? Be realistic and remember to factor in moving costs, stamp duty (if you are not a first time buyer), estate agent fees, legal fees, and also any survey fees. It is best to have your finances in order at this stage.

Talk to your mortgage broker or your lender if you are obtaining a mortgage.

Decide what area you want to move to. Do your research on the area. Are there the facilities you Sam Alvin need to be happy in your new home. Are there plenty of local amenities? Check town or village websites and social media to see what the community is like that you would be moving into.

When speaking with estate agents be positive about what you are looking for and your budget. If you don’t want to live in a house in the middle of nowhere tell them. They can only work on what information you give them. Let them know if your property is on the market or inform them that you are a first time buyer. When you short list a property, visit the area at least a couple of times at different times of the day. What may seem like a quiet road during daytime may become hectic in the evening. Also look at parking. If the house you are viewing does not have parking consider the parking areas. Could you park easily when you arrive to view the property?

Finally when have found your perfect home, we advise that you have a full Homebuyers Survey. This is different from a lender valuation and involves a surveyor visiting the property to inspect both inside and out. They will then produce a report for your information. This may cost a few hundred pounds but we are sure you would rather pay this than move in and find a nasty shock which could cost thousands. Remember to send the report to your solicitor when briefing them about your move. Happy New Year and happy house hunting.

If you are moving house in the new year then contact Sam on 01473 298 189 or email her at sam.alvin@gotelee.co.uk.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 It’s not often an ex SESAW dog hits the headlines but two of our canine friends made the news recently. Hadleigh’s heroic hound Bowza, a Labrador cross, was featured on BBC Look East and the national press after sharing his body heat with a lady suffering a head injury. Bowza’s proud owner, Don Cox, said the dog seemed to understand the problem and stayed next to the shivering lady for over an hour until an ambulance arrived.

My old friend Freddie, a very cute chihuahua cross, became the centre of attention during filming for a Channel 4 TV commercial. The little chap was chosen to appear in an ad with the equally handsome bigger chap in the photo, to advertise “Solidor” front doors. Of course Freddie was completely unfazed by the experience because we chihuahuas are often the star attraction. Apparently he has already be asked for his pawprint and might become more famous than me!

I have no idea what animals may be available for rehoming when you read this so please keep an eye on our website or visit when we reopen on Thursday 17th January. Don’t forget to wear your wellies if the weather is wet!

My vertically challenged canine friends usually return home with very muddy undercarriages, which is extremely uncomfortable, I can tell you! Time to muscle into the scrum to find a space in front of the Rayburn for me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Suffolk Rockets Netball Club As we finish our first part of the season we reflect on all the amazing achievements and improvements each player has made in 2018. All our Adult and Junior players have given 110% at every training session and match, we thank everyone for being a part of our thriving club and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings!

Our Junior teams are doing really well in the Colchester Youth League, they go into the new year in the following positions: Celestial Rockets 4th (out of 7); Cosmic Rockets 4th and Apollo Rockets 3rd (out of 7); Saturn Rockets 3rd (out of 9); Galaxy Rockets 7th (out of 11). Our Adult teams, Suffolk Solar and Suffolk Stars finish the year in 4th and 10th place.

2019 is going to open new doors at Suffolk Rockets as we introduce 'Walking Netball', Walking Netball is a slower version of the game; it is netball, but at a walking pace. The game has been designed so that anyone can play it regardless of age or fitness level. From those who have dropped out of the sport they love due to serious injury, to those who believed they had hung up their netball trainers many years ago, it really is for everyone (male/female/16years - 99years!). Come join us on the 26th January 9am 10.30am at Hadleigh High Leisure Centre indoor court, £5per session including cake, we will be running the sessions every two weeks (further information on our website). We are looking for a sponsor for our Walking Netball Club, sponsor would enable us to reach out to more people and to offer them more opportunities to get fit, socialise and to participate in the community, if you would like more information please contact us.

We will be returning to training on the 9th January for juniors and adults. We always have room for more Adult players (especially 'back to netball' players), no need to book just turn up 8pm-9.30pm Hadleigh high outdoor courts £4.50 per session.

They are facilitated by women who are in recovery themselves and people who have supported others in their journey to freedom. We provide an environment where women can talk about their daily struggles, share their experiences, strength and hope openly and honestly in a safe place. They can be with others who share a common desire to overcome addictive behaviour. It’s somewhere women can seek healing for one another. WT wants women to regain the self confidence, self belief and self worth that addiction has stolen from them.

OIL BOILER SERVICE ENGINEER Very experienced in fault diagnosis and repair, servicing and installation of oil fired boilers and heating systems.

Water Softener Supply and Installation using Harvey Dualflo Water Softeners Hadleigh march into the new year with an impressive record of having twelve consecutive victories in their league. This has made us the team to beat and we have found that other clubs are raising their game as a result. In recent weeks the young squad has been seriously tested by Colchester and Sudbury.

While the Rams have found try scoring more challenging, their defence from 1 to 18 has been particularly pugnacious. These challenges will stand Hadleigh in good stead in the new year when the push for promotion begins in earnest. The structure of the Eastern Counties leagues dictate that we will be playing arguably better teams from further afield. The spirit and confidence that currently defines Hadleigh Rugby Club makes the challenge more exciting than daunting.

We are in the process of organising some Second Team games for 2019. New or returning players will therefore have the opportunity initially to train and play in a less pressured environment. Senior training nights are Tuesday and Thursday from 7.30pm. More details can be found at hadleighrfc.rfu.club.

The youth and minis sections train and play on Sundays. The next Danny Cipriani or Sam Underhill might well be living in Hadleigh just waiting to discover the joys of the best and friendliest team sport in the world.

The Workers Educational Association There has been a branch of the W.E.A in Hadleigh for over 60 years. The National Association has been in existence for over 100 years. Originally founded to promote ongoing education for adults who would otherwise be excluded, it provided an access route to higher education for those who aspired to it. These days the branch programme mostly delivers cultural education. The students are usually retired but W.E.A. programmes are open to anyone over the age of 19 years. Other strands of the W.E.A. involve ‘targeted provision’ aimed at specific groups, for example asylum seekers and refugees. The spring course for 2019 starts on 30th January in the social room at the Leisure centre. We meet for 7 sessions of 2 hours, Wednesday afternoons starting at 2.00pm. The course is entitled ‘Impressionism and beyond in portraiture’ the tutor is Mike Baldry who has taught art history for the W.E.A. for many years. Sadly this is the last 7 week course of its kind to take place in Hadleigh. As with many other organisations it is difficult to find volunteers to provide the necessary committee. The branch could be relocated in a village.

A decade by decade jazz journey, from 1900 to the 1990s (and beyond), with guided commentary/discussion and numerous musical examples. From the dance halls and sporting houses of New Orleans to Carnegie Hall and the greatest concert stages around the world, jazz has travelled far both geographically and culturally. America's greatest indigenous musical form, soon to become a world music category, prompts us to ask about the men and women behind its development and what they contributed. What would jazz become by the end of the twentieth century? This course celebrates some of the many pioneers who have kept us dancing and enriched our lives While Graham was growing up in the 1950s he discovered the infectious drive and fun of early jazz and learned about the Swing era of the ‘thirties from his father who was an enthusiastic and skilful amateur jazz pianist. The greater complexities of jazz after WW2 took a little longer to grasp, so we shall be embarking together on a voyage of further discovery as the course progresses!

Fees: Adult £55 (payable after the first session).
