EXCELLENT FARES RELIABLE SERVICE

After 24 years it’s farewell... The Whatfield Players have been ‘on stage’ for over 24 years. At first they were frequently, ‘on the road’, helping villages, local churches and clubs to raise funds as well as ‘treading the boards’ in Whatfield Village Hall with Pantomimes, Musicals, Music Hall, Plays, Murder Mysteries, Harvest Horkey Shows, and entertainment for Christmas Parties. On Saturday 1st June, members, past and present were invited to a party to mark our farewell, and to recall memories together. As guests arrived, the words ‘it is a sad occasion’ were often heard. We hope that our audiences will remember us positively. We always attempted to stage our shows with a view to limiting costs, and making everything home grown where possible. In recent years the expertise of H.A.D.S members helped us tremendously on technical matters. During the party, a display of posters, production files, programmes, photos, costumes, and props, helped to jog memories, and of all the fun we’d had. Whatfield Community Council provided bar facilities and a Buffet Supper was supplied by Angel Delights. During the evening a rolling picture show, organised by David Dray was screened and guests Simon and Rebecca Welham entertained us with music for singing. Sad as it may be, we take pride in the amounts we have raised for local Suffolk Charities. Since our start in 1995 we have donated over £12,000. The committee take this opportunity to thank all our members, and audiences for their support, hoping that we have ‘done well’, and justified the hope placed in us by our founder members and joint past presidents, Mona Bruce and Robert James.

Thank you to everyone who attended or made donations to Ollie, Jodie and Zoe’s Blooming Great Tea Party at Milden Pavilion in aid of Marie Curie and Stand Up to Cancer. The support for this event was amazing and it was good to see so many people pop in during the morning for cake and a natter. The children did a great job not only with all their baking but being excellent hosts too, they planned and worked hard to make the morning a success. By the end of The Tea Party they had raised £642.60 but the donations keep on coming in and the total currently stands at £748! We are all staggered by the support shown to our children and these two great charities and it goes without saying we are so proud of what they achieved and raised. Thank you.

Travel Stop & Inspired by Australasia The Land Down Under There are few places left in the world that leave such a powerful and lasting impression upon visitors as Australia. Nothing can match the excitement of flying into Sydney or the delight of seeing the Great Barrier Reed for the first time. Perhaps it’s the pure air or brilliant sunshine. It’s a spirit that infuses your enjoyment of the glorious scenery, beautiful beaches, vibrant cities and astonishing wildlife found throughout this remarkable country. New Zealand is blessed with spectacularly beautiful landscapes, vast mountain ranges and sweeping coastlines. While rich in experiences for lovers of the great outdoors, New Zealand has something for everyone. Add to this a fascinating heritage of Maori culture, world class sporting events, a passion for food and wine, and as location for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit, and you have a beautiful country bursting with holiday possibilities. Combine a visit down under with a stopover in the beautiful South Pacific visiting the paradise islands of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti) and the Cook Islands, all with idyllic locations. Alternatively a stop in either the Middle East, Asia or the USA and Hawaii on either your outbound or return flight. A great way to break the journey and to discover new and exciting destinations. Inspired by Australasia are a holiday and tour company specialising in affordable luxury holidays in Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific Islands). ABTA bonded and ATOL bonded, they offer complete peace of mind with your travel arrangements and can tailor-make the perfect luxury holiday tour for you, but at an affordable price. When it comes to choosing and planning your Australasia holiday, you need to deal with people who know the destination inside out. Their team has travelled extensively throughout the region to ensure you can receive firsthand advice, suggestions and tips from those who really have “been there and done that.� On August 3rd Travel Stop will be joined by Helen Mather from Inspired by Australasia. Come along and listen to Helen share her experiences of these 2 amazing countries along with plenty of advice on planning the perfect trip.

‘An American in Suffolk’ Performances 4th, 5th and 6th July at 7:30pm Capel St Mary Community Centre Call the box office for tickets now on 07793820215 It’s 1942 and in a small Suffolk village, Lady Emily’s committee are eagerly planning to welcome the US Servicemen to the newly built Airbase on the outskirts of the village. Local girls and best friends Jane and Charlotte quickly catch the eye of two American pilots and love begins to blossom. Little did they know that the events of World War 2 would soon change the lives of both the villagers and the pilots forever‌ Fast forward 10 years and across the Atlantic to New York City, Charlotte and Frank are worlds away from the tiny village where they first met. For Jane, painful memories mean she’s been stuck in the past, unable to move on. That is until a chance meeting in a New York bar turns Jane’s world upside down once again‌ Set to the big band sounds and swing classics of the 1940s and 1950s, ‘An American in Suffolk’ follows friendships, romances and relationships from sleepy Suffolk to the bright lights of NYC. Panto 2020 Red Riding Hood (9-11 January) We’re always looking to welcome new members to come and get involved – either on or backstage.

When you move home, selling and buying property, you will need to employ the services of a conveyancing solicitor to deal with the legal aspects of the transaction, for which there is a legal fee. Paying twice when transactions fall-through What many home movers don’t realise is that if your transaction falls-through, which happens for many reasons and with increasing frequency, you will still be charged by your conveyancing solicitor for the legal work undertaken up to the point the transaction fell-through. This means, you pay legal fees to your conveyancing solicitor for the transaction that fell-through and then have to pay them again for the legal work on the next transaction, which will hopefully be a successful one that goes through to ‘completion’. You essentially pay for your conveyancing twice. How common is it for property transactions to fall-through? Rightmove reports that nearly 30% of property transactions fell-through in 2018, which is significantly more common than most people realise. Some commentators also believe the current economic uncertainty and slow property market may cause this percentage to increase as buyers and sellers become more cautious and risk-averse, making them more likely to pull-out of a deal. How to avoid paying twice for conveyancing The only way to protect yourself from the risk of paying twice for your conveyancing is to instruct a no sale, no fee conveyancing solicitor. Holmes & Hills Solicitors is proud to protect its conveyancing clients from paying twice by providing its No Sale, No Fee Promise as standard on conveyancing transactions. Holmes & Hills’ No Sale, No Fee Promise means that should your property transaction fall-through, whether it be a purchase, a sale, or a sale and purchase, you will not pay any of the legal fee quoted to you. When you then find another buyer for your property, or you find another property to buy yourself, you know you have not wasted any money on legal fees on your first, failed transaction. Holmes & Hills clients also benefit from the firm's transaction fall-through rate being significantly lower than the 30% average reported by Rightmove. Why do property transactions fall-through? Property transactions can fallthrough for a wide range of reasons, many of which will be out of your control: • Down-valuations - where a lender values a property lower than the purchase price. • Seller or buyer changes their mind. • Surveys - undertaken buy purchasers these can flag issues with the property. • Disagreements between buyers and sellers.

News from Kersey School Squirrels (Reception) Squirrels are enjoying learning about plants and mini beasts. They have been busy planted seeds kindly donated by Thompson and Morgan. During the topic they have read The Enormous Turnip and then created their own story based on it, we’ve had the enormous carrot and even the enormous strawberry! They are very much looking forward to their trip to Bridges Farm to learn more about crops and animals. Squirrels outdoor area Recently we were extremely lucky to receive a Lottery grant of nearly £10,000 to update and improve our Early Years outdoor area, the work is now complete and the children are enjoying using the new play house, climbing frame and dig pit with pulley system. The whole area looks fantastic. Badgers (Years 3 and 4) In Badger's class we started this half term off with a movie themed day. All of the children came dressed as their favourite movie character and throughout the day we learnt about the Hollywood walk of fame and made our own trailers and movies using both the I Pads and laptops. During our Arts Festival this year we performed Happy on the recorders and sang the song 'Reach' by S Club 7. This linked to our topic of what we wanted to be when we grew up. We had a huge range of jobs in our class from gymnasts and miners to zoologist and international cake tasters! Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls class have enjoyed a rather soggy start to their new topic on Water Worlds! We went to Flatford Mill to begin our topic- we investigated the water voles and learned a lot about them, their habitats and their prey. We hoped to see one (we were especially quiet too!) but no luck! This links rather well with our end of year play, which is The Wind In The Willows. We are already busy practising for this as well as continuing our usual learning. At Flatford, we also did some pond dipping- we found a variety of creatures including pond snails and beetle larvae. We had a soggy lunch under the trees by the lock and then wandered to Willy Lott's Cottage. We are focusing on John Constable as an artist this term and we enjoyed seeing the famous house. In Science, we are reviewing our learning of the Water Cycle and also finding out more about water habitats. If you would like to know more about Kersey school or would like to arrange a visit please ring the office on 01473 823397, email: admin@kersey.suffolk.sch.uk or visit our website: www.kersey.suffolk.sch.uk

A Guide to Natural Feeding: Part 2 Give a dog a bone In the wild up to a third of a dog’s nutrition may come from bones. Bones keep teeth and gums clean and exercise their upper bodies and jaw. Providing the bones are RAW (cooked bones can splinter), they are safe for dogs to eat. It is easy to understand why the dog wants the meat and marrow, but what makes the bone itself so desirable? Bones contain a huge number of nutrients that are vital to your dog’s health. These include: • minerals, including calcium, magnesium and phosphorous • protein-containing essential amino acids, including lysine • essential fatty acids • fat-soluble vitamins (A, D and E) • blood-forming nutrients (these are in the marrow), including copper and iron. Meaty bones are nature’s toothbrushes. They keep your dog’s teeth clean and gums healthy. Plaque can’t build up and decay is prevented. As a result your dog shouldn’t develop any of the nasty oral diseases to which many of those on processed food are prone. It has been proven that dogs with healthy teeth live longer. It will also mean he or she has sweeter breath. Two further benefits of giving your dog raw meaty bones should be mentioned: 1 - They provide your dog with exercise, strengthening their jaws and upper body, and 2 - They keep your dog occupied. Dogs that have a bone to chew are happier and calmer. What is wrong with processed dog food? It doesn’t matter which brand of processed dog food you use or how much it costs, it is never going to be as good for your dog as raw, fresh meat, bone and vegetable. The key problems are: • It is cooked. Cooking destroys the vast majority of the nutritional value of the food from a dog’s perspective and makes it exceedingly difficult to digest. • It can contain inappropriate and damaging chemicals (binders, colouring, preservatives and other additives). • The quality of the ingredients is usually poor. Even expensive processed dog food often has very low-quality ingredients. That generally means animal by-products, derivatives and low-quality grain. • Most dog foods contain a high percentage of grain (including rice), which is unsuitable for the canine digestive system and is one of the main causes of skin allergies, diabetes and flatulence. • It generally fails to clean the dog’s teeth and gums, allowing plaque to build up. This gives rise to periodontal disease and worse. Dog waste! Natural feeders talk a lot about dog waste. The waste of a raw fed dog is usually much firmer, smaller, less smelly and generally easier to pick up as a result. The reason why is simple: because the dog hasn’t eaten anything it cannot process or the body cannot use, there is very little wasted, resulting in very little waste! One of the main reasons why dogs fed on processed food produce so much waste matter is because of the grain.

It is hard to think of a more positive experience as an MP than visiting one of the 39 primary schools in my constituency to talk about the future with my youngest constituents. There is usually one dominant subject of conversation - and it’s not Britain’s departure from the European Union. No, the subject primary pupils are keenest to chat about is the environment. In fact, at the time of writing my last two primary school visits – to Glemsford and Pot Kiln (Great Cornard) – were both dominated by discussions on litter, dealing with plastic waste and climate change. But if we can be confident that our future will be in safe hands, what about the present? Readers will rightly argue that the ‘climate emergency’ requires action today, or the next generation may find it is too late on the scene to deal with its consequences. Fortunately, though there is much more progress to be made, there is a great deal to celebrate. Earlier this month the country went for two full weeks without burning any coal for wholesale energy production. This was the first time a fortnight has passed without any emissions from our most polluting power source since the industrial revolution. It is particularly significant to reflect that this milestone was passed within weeks of the ‘Extinction Rebellion’ protests. At the heart of this shift away from CO2 belching coal-power has been a huge acceleration in the amount of electricity we generate from renewable sources. Renewables generated close to 40% of the UK’s electricity in the final quarter of 2018, up from barely 6% in 2010. We should be proud of delivering in practice the shift away from polluting energy that politicians on all sides want to see. Perhaps most significantly, the Government recently committed to ‘net zero’ CO2 emissions by 2050. This is hugely ambitious and will require unprecedented change in every aspect of our daily life. Nevertheless, if achieved it means that when our primary school children reach the age I am today Britain we will have delivered for them a healthier, cleaner, greener and more confident future.

One page for a child, one giant leap for their wellbeing Summer is upon us again, and with it comes The Summer Reading Challenge. Since its inception twenty years ago, the Summer Reading Challenge has been a great opportunity for children to have fun maintaining and increasing their reading levels throughout the school holiday. Reading for pleasure is such an important part of development and the benefits vary from increasing literacy to giving a child higher levels of empathy, confidence and wellbeing. The aim is for each participant to choose and read six books over the summer and visiting their local library to have relaxed chat with a staff member or volunteer about their choices. The best bit is that there is so much to choose from: novels, joke books, fact books; and in different formats too: braille, audio and e-books. There are stickers and rewards to collect along the way and a certificate at the end. But, we believe that any child who participates, whether they finish six books, four, one, or just a couple of pages more than they would normally, has achieved and we acknowledge their efforts as equally important. Why not have a go as well? Set yourself the challenge to read a book alongside your child over the summer. In celebration of 50 years since the first moon landing, there will be a fun Space Chase theme and Hadleigh Library, along with all Suffolk Libraries, are over the moon to be hosting the Summer Reading Challenge, 2019 and are looking forward to seeing you all join in. Registration begins 13th July, challenge starts 20th July ending 7th September.

Luke Whitwell of local Plumbing and Heating Company, Whitwell Services, proudly re-introduces Nevelli Designer Home Heating & Interiors In May 2018 I made the decision to take on Nevelli. After several meetings with previous owner Bev Neville, I could see what a great brand she had created. I had a vision to run Nevelli alongside our existing business Whitwell Services, generating a platform to inspire our clients. Whitwell Services was established in 1979 by my father John as a family run Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Company. I joined him in 1999 and the business has continued to evolve over the years. In recent years we have managed and been involved in a host of high-end building projects. We encourage a bespoke approach ensuring each job is unique to what the client requires. Nevelli, is situated on the High Street in Hadleigh with a fully refitted Designer Radiator Showroom, and the installation of a second area is nearing completion. Here we are showcasing a range of designs for bathrooms and kitchens. Clients will be able to see the quality of what we can offer. We have a skilled team of individuals from plumbers, joiners, tilers, carpenters, electrical technicians and decorators who all pride themselves in using traditional methods to produce the ultimate finished project. We can offer a service from Design and Supply to Installation, understanding that an interior renovation can be an overwhelming process, therefore our aim is to remove the stress from our clients and instill the confidence that is needed to complete the project with as little disruption as possible. Our team are committed to continued growth with a core local focus. Our Primary aim is the care of our clients by providing a professional, competitive and reliable service. 2019 marks a milestone year for us; not only is Nevelli in its 10th year, but Whitwell Services Celebrates 40 years of business and the 20th anniversary of my Dad and I working side by side.

Bildeston Summer Market Bildeston will be hosting an even bigger market in July, to make the most of the (hopefully) good weather. Come rain or shine, on Saturday 20 July the indoor market will be complemented by an outdoor table-top/car-boot sale selling a large variety of goods. Come along to browse stalls selling cakes, crafts, gifts, food, beauty products, jewellery, homewares and second-hand goods to name just a few! Our outdoor area overlooking the bowls green provides the perfect place for some al fresco dining, while we also have a lovely indoor cafe area if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Refreshments will be available on sale all day, selling teas, coffees, bacon butties and hot dogs at very reasonable prices. With free entry, plenty of free on-site parking and an adventure playground on site, this event will have something for all the family.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre Double hoorays for the team of employees from Zurich in Ipswich! They chose us as their firm’s Charity Day for 2019. They arrived in force on 24th May and worked from dawn till dusk on the land and many of the maintenance jobs. Look at the photo of this amazing team. Not only have they given us the physical help we needed, they have been sponsored most generously by their firm to do so. The Centre was looking perfect, just like the National Stud at Newmarket when they finished. When the grass grows again, and the weeds creep back, we shall be hoping to have some fresh help. Our regular maintenance volunteers need a boost: some extra bods willing to come over and work here for a couple of hours a week, mending things, mowing, watering and ‘sweeping’. All our lovely volunteers need to take time off for family things from time to time so the more people on the maintenance team, the merrier. Could you consider joining us? (If you are only free in the holidays that’s OK with us.) Our trustees will have held the AGM by the time you read this. I thought it was some kind of meeting, but from what I hear behind my shut door, it’s a party and takes up the whole yard; there is a smell of cooking, a lot of chatter, and a tinkle of glasses. What you humans will get up to in the interests of keeping us going never ceases to amaze me. Our Shelley Show brought June to a close, and the results will soon be up on the web page for you to see. However much the riders achieve for themselves, and we are very proud that they do, they couldn’t really do it without help from Jo Public, in the form of volunteers. I have heard that we need more helpers for the Tuesday rides (5 adult riders, then 4 children, then another 4 children) a pony leader for the Thursday morning boys’ ride at 10.00, and two more side walkers for our Thursday ladies at 11.00, and again for the Thursday afternoon very special needs children who come over from their school during lunch time. A very clever lady called Margaret will allocate help where it is most needed if you just contact her to say when you could commit to working here. I’ll continue with my 30th birthday project of sharing 30 good reasons with my readers as to how people connected with the Shelley Centre feel about their being here: 9) (Is she joking ?) “To get away from my husband!” 10) “ Its nice meeting new people and making friends here. I like helping our riders, and seeing them smile.” 11) “I find it very interesting to encounter so many and various disabilities.” 12) Ruth, who is one of our adult riders: “In short a reason to come to Shelley...........It is a truly special place where miracles happen. There are excellent equine friends along with wonderful people who all contribute to the enrichment of so many lives. A chance too, to get to know EBONY.” Well, I like that Ruth, thank you for mentioning ME. After all the rain of the last month, here’s to everyone enjoying a bit of sun and blue sky as the school holidays loom for our younger riders. To those riders not governed by school term dates, we apologise that we’ll be closed for August, and hope you find a way to take exercise without us! Keep moving and come back safely when we open up again in September. www.shelleyrda.com Telephone: 01473 824172
The Ashbocking Herd comes to Hadleigh Market From July, on the first Friday of every month, you’ll be able to meet Jo Henderson, proud owner of the Ashbocking Herd and buy her delicious, traditional cuts of pork when she becomes our newest addition at Hadleigh Market. Two years ago Jo decided to hang up her hat as a Social Worker in Child Protection, a decision that was shortly followed by the arrival of seven pigs in April 2017. By September of that year her seven pigs had become seventeen, in October, twenty three! She now has a herd of around fifty, some of which are small black pigs with prick ears & snub noses, similar to the Suffolk Small Black (now extinct). As the herd grew, Jo decided to work full time at growing the business, with a little help from a PPI pay out and Andrew, her partner. She learnt how to butcher a pig and took on-line courses in catering and in March 2018 was given a 5 * rating for butchery. Jo started trading in June 2018 and you can now find her at three Farmers Markets across Suffolk in Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury & Ipswich. Jo is a real traditionalist at heart and she has developed her butchery to reflect this. When the pig is butchered, half goes fresh to the market & the other half is either cured or made into sausages & faggots. Her stall is always really busy at all the farmers markets she attends and we are absolutely delighted that she will be joining us at Hadleigh Market, on the first Friday of every month with her traditional cuts of pork. Please make sure you come along and meet Jo and learn about her pigs; it is an inspiring story and the people of Hadleigh are very lucky that Jo is going to be a part of their weekly market. Hadleigh Market is held every Friday, on the Market Place, Hadleigh, IP7 5DL between 9am and 2pm.

Hadleigh Nursing Home turned National Carers Week into a celebration for both staff and residents Residents at the Kingsley Healthcare run home in Friars Road were keen to show their appreciation of the care they receive and made up pots and bags of sweets to present to members of staff. And on the Friday, home manager Tracey Burt treated all the staff and residents to a fabulous pamper day. Tracey said: “Our staff do an amazing job and Carers Week was a great way to show appreciation for their efforts. Our residents loved being able to say thank you personally by presenting every member of staff with a gift.” Photo shows support worker Stuart Ashfield who is loved at the home for his singing, outside of work he is a Michael Buble tribute act. 01473 852857 hadleighhall.care

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday June 10th 2019: A change of plans in June meant that we met as usual in the town hall for a talk from Brian, one of our club members, on the subject of alpines. Brian has been interested in growing alpines since childhood and is a member of The South Suffolk Alpine Club. These beautiful plants can be found in many parts of the world and they usually, but not always, grow above the tree line. In his own garden Brian has tried to replicate the environments where these plants can be found by creating a layered rock formation, to give them the best possible growing conditions. I was pleased to discover that some of the choice examples he talked about could also be found in my own garden. I created an alpine tower at the beginning of the year, with pots of graduated sizes filled with gritty soil stacked one on top of the other which helps with good drainage. I got the idea from an article in the RHS magazine, and they seem to be doing well. Brian showed us lovely examples of miniature daffodils, dianthus, aquilegias, orchids and many more. All little gems of perfection and all with the most vibrant colours - what a treat! Saturday June 10th saw a very soggy and windy start to The Hadleigh Hidden Gardens event, during which the wind blew over a huge gazebo and we lost our umbrella - which we had brought to protect us from the sun! However a lot of keen gardeners braved the weather and we made the best of it and had a very enjoyable day. We were kept busy at our stall at Toppesfield Mill House and as well as giving visitors information about the club we were also able to make a donation to the Friends of St Mary's, so a great success all round. Monday July 8th 2019: Some of you may remember the club's version of the popular radio programme Gardener's Question Time which we held a few years ago. Back then we had three very entertaining speakers from Radio Suffolk, and one of them - Karen Kenny - is returning this month to give a talk on the theme of 'Companion Planting'. The meeting starts at 7.30pm in Hadleigh Town Hall. The entrance is £4 for visitors and £2 for members to include refreshments, there will be a raffle and plants for sale. The competiton for July is 'one rose bloom', new members and visitors are always welcome, we look forward to seeing you there. hadleighgardenclub@gmail.com

Down to Earth ...with Dave Not a weekend goes by without an open garden event of some sort being publicised, every village in the area has some sort of event trying to get us to visit their numerous and well loved gardens. Boxford, Shelley, Chelsworth, Flowton and Hadleigh, to name a few, were all asking us to visit them. This year due to some problems with driving, my efforts were confined to just one garden, this was Toppesfield Mill House garden which was taking part in the Hidden Gardens of Hadleigh event. The garden club was very generously given some space to set up a plant stall in this lovely garden and for several weeks the club had been collecting plants to sell. On the day it was as wet and windy as possible, but we struggled on and were rewarded by meeting some cheerful stalwart gardeners not put off by a bit of rain. At the end of the day nearly all of the donated plants had been sold and, with luck, we could well do it again next year. At home in the garden all of the numerous pots have saucers under them, this is fine until we have loads of rain, then what seemed a good idea to save on watering becomes a bit of a nuisance as no plant likes sitting in water, so all saucers have to be emptied. One trick I use is to blow the water away using an electric leaf blower, this is very handy where, for instance, the large and very heavy hostas in pots are concerned. The slugs and snails are having a bit of a holiday this year as my nightly patrol with a torch is on hold until I get my eyes properly sorted. Though, saying that, there does not seem to be much damage being done, this is possibly due to the numerous birds we attract to the garden and a very large toad on patrol recently. To tell the difference between a frog and a toad frogs hop and toads walk. Everything is growing at a pace now and it is surprising how quickly a side shoot on a cordon grown tomato plant can grow and try to take over the plant, regular pinching out of any side shoot is needed. After about five trusses have formed then the top of the main stem should be stopped as any fruits formed above this will not ripen, the bush plants grown in the basket are just left to tumble. After the first fruits have formed regular feeding with a tomato feed is advised, and never let the compost dry out. The fuchsia gall mite that was showing on the over wintered standard plants seems to have been beaten and they are putting on a good show of foliage and flowers. Some of them are like old friends and it would be very sad to lose them. We do have replacements but it will take several years for them to reach maturity. That's all for this time, Dave

Kersey Mill welcomed a number of new visitors to the site over the recent Bank Holiday weekend. This included The Kersey Tuesday Club, a local organisation which meets on the first Tuesday of the month from March to December at Kersey Village Hall. One of the Club’s programme of events includes a visit to a place of interest. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit and were impressed to see the work that had been carried out to date. It was surprising to find that a large proportion of the group had not yet been inside the Mill, as until recent years the building had not open to the general public. Kersey Mill also played host to the Suffolk Outdoor Learning Group for the “Bugs & Fairies Workshops� held on 27th May. Children from ages 3-12 were invited to dress up as their favourite bug or fairy, and there were some impressive costumes on display including a very hungry caterpillar and Snow White! The children were able to explore the river banks and the beautiful natural environment surrounding the Mill, hunting for bugs, insects and wildlife. Their recordings revealed a wide variety of species including stag beetles, shield bugs, grass snakes, blue tits, squirrels, tree creepers, ducklings, swans with their signets, and much more! The resident kestrels were also busy flying backwards and forwards from their nest at the top of the Mill, feeding their young. It was a great way for the children to learn about nature, and combined with the arts and crafts sessions, enjoy a fun day out. The proceeds from these events were kindly donated to the restoration fund. Work is continuing with the restoration of the Mill and the three glut boxes to the water-driven stones have now been repaired and reinstated. Reinstatement of the stone furniture is also proceeding well. Up until June, the lack of water had reduced the ability of the wheel to run for any length of time, however with the recent and persistent spells of heavy rain, water levels are now back to normal for the time of year.
Bildeston History Quarterly Issue 31 ( Summer 2019) This issue’s front cover features John Artiss after whom Artiss Close is named as a tribute to the person who did so much to give Issue 31 Summer 2019 Price £4 Bildeston the community facilities that we all enjoy today. Judging by the tributes to John at his death in 2000 and the fact that he had received a Babergh Community Achievement Award earlier that year, his work was acknowledged at the time and much appreciated. Bildeston has three farmhouses in its High Street: Red House, Newberry House and Brook House. The histories of the first two have already been told and now ‘The Brooks’ recalls owners and occupiers of the third and its successor. Originally called Plentres, the farmhouse was sub-divided in 1774 (now addressed as Nos. 86, 88 and 90 High Street). When a new house was erected on the farm just after 1812, the land became Bildeston Stud under the ownership of Richard Wilson. The story goes as far as 1870 and part 2 will be in the next issue. Currently, a house in High Street is being refurbished. While the old plaster coat was being stripped off in preparation for a new one, the original timbers could be seen. Most of the buildings that line the old streets of the village are timber framed but when the fashion for exposed timbers declined during the 18th century, the buildings were covered with plaster coats or faced with brick. ‘Under the plaster’ features three Bildeston houses with before-and-after photographs showing their old facades and also with timbers exposed. Contributor John Gardiner of Stowmarket returns with the story of his two aunts Ivy and Myrtle who lived in Bildeston all their lives, a time that covered most of the 20th century. As we get older and pass on, this is the type of history that is rapidly disappearing so it needs recording before it is forgotten. Some memoires of Bildeston have appeared in other issues but as everyone has a different view of life, any further personal reminiscences are most welcome. Please contact the Editor if you would like to tell you story. What is the connection between a shop in Market Place and the first man to circumnavigate Australia? Now that’s a good question for a trivia quiz and the answer is in Bildeston History Quarterly. On sale - price £4 - At Bank House stored in Bildeston, Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, Avis the Newsagents and Idler Book Shop in Hadleigh High Street or from Sue Andrews, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP7 7BG price £5 to include postage (please make your cheque payable to Sue Andrews).

Suffolk-Based Care Homes Group ensures it is a bright year for Butterflies across East Anglia One of the sponsors of this year’s Flight for Youth campaign, Kingsley Healthcare, has taken their support to a whole new level, with residents at all 30 of its homes, including Hadleigh Nursing Home, in Hadleigh, painting ceramic butterflies to help celebrate this very special year for The Benjamin Foundation. 2019 marks the 25th anniversary since the charity was established to help people across Norfolk and Suffolk deal with some of the challenges that life throws at them. Whether it’s the prevention of youth homelessness, helping families to build stronger relationships or providing positive activities for young people with limited opportunities in life, their work brings hope, opportunity, stability and independence to the people it supports. As part of the celebrations to observe this milestone The Benjamin Foundation is busy creating a high-profile, visually appealing art installations called Flight for Youth which will feature up to 25,000 glazed pottery butterflies glazed in the charity’s four distinct colours – pink, purple, orange or red. The public are being invited to purchase a butterfly but before taking receipt of their commemorative piece the butterflies are being used to create two dramatic installations, at The Assembly House and Holkham Hall. In addition, the public are being invited to buy a plain butterfly and decorate it themselves; an idea Kingsley Healthcare has embraced. Tracey Burt, manager of Hadleigh Nursing Home, in Friars Road, said: “It’s been a really fun art project for our residents. “We have been decorating our garden with the brightly coloured butterflies before they are sent off for the art project.” The Suffolk based company is also celebrating a very special milestone year in 2019 and, as such, Kingsley has agreed a major sponsorship deal with The Benjamin Foundation to mark its 20th anniversary year. As well as supporting the art project, Kingsley’s CEO Daya Thayan has made a significant donation to the charity’s £100,000 appeal. As if this wasn’t enough, staff at its care homes and head office – Kingsley House in Lowestoft – will also be organising fundraising events for The Benjamin Foundation throughout the year. Mr Thayan said: “Kingsley started in East Anglia when we bought our first care home in Lowestoft so we thought it was fitting to support a local charity in our anniversary year. We are delighted to be supporting the Benjamin Foundation; we see in it the same values and a similar vision to our own charity, the Lotus Foundation.” Colin Lang MBE, Special Projects Manager who has created the appeal explains: “When planning how to mark our anniversary we decided that it must be something that anyone could be a part of and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the residents at Kingsley Healthcare getting so involved. They have come up with some fabulous designs and it’s lovely to see the joy on their faces as they create their masterpieces! “The plain butterflies are a great way to really get involved in our anniversary celebrations as well as being a fantastic idea for group activities, as residents of Kingsley Healthcare have demonstrated.” The colour glazed artworks and the plain butterflies are available on-line at https://benjaminfoundation.co.uk/flight-for-youth/
A Fundraiser for Jude... My son Jude who is 16 months old has been recently been diagnosed with a very rare muscle disease called Nemaline Rod Myopathy and needs constant physio for his mobility and to help his chest in the colder months to stop infection, the physio on the NHS can only come every 6 weeks due to goverment funding so we have to go private to give Jude the best start in life. He was admitted a couple of times to hospital last year with breathing issues each time being put on air flow and having a feeding tube but in January this year whilst being in Ipswich Hospital with Jude having Bronchiolitis, he unfortunately caught the flu which very quickly turned into pneumonia and his body wasnt fighting it like it should. Jude was having 70% help with breathing so the doctors decided to put him in a coma to give his body a rest, so he was moved by the Cats Team to PICU in Addenbrookes where he stayed for a month. So it is very important to us to raise a good amount to get him to those milestones as most people with Nemaline Rod Myopathy find it difficult to walk. Jude at the minute is only just started to roll over, he cannot lift his head whilst on his front, cannot crawl, sit up or walk/stand. The fundraiser will be held at the Hadleigh Royal British Legion on the 20th July from 7.30 pm to 11.30 pm For further details contact Michelle Jones on 07731 749500

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 Hurrah! It’s our Open Day and Fun Dog Show on the 28th July when old friends and new join us for an afternoon of fun, food and furries! Stalls, games, gifts, pet supplies, BBQ, refreshments, homemade cake, ice cream and music from the Hadleigh Ukulele Group. Pooches can try the Scurry or enter many classes including SESAW Dog of the Year for those homed by us. Most important of all, visitors can meet the animals including Sky, a Whippet/Lurcher and her companion Biscuit, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell cross. This inseparable pair arrived in January. Biscuit is not keen on other dogs but both are very friendly and love a fuss. They will stay with us until the right person comes along. Could it be you? The paw prints in the wet cement incident is forgotten, in fact I suspect Mum quite liked a four-footed autograph in the new path. Now she is mystified over the sudden appearance of her missing spectacles at her feet on the kitchen floor, having search high and low for two weeks! All I can say is, don’t look at me, just because Chihuahuas have a reputation for stashing trinkets! It’s cold and wet but I must pop outside to thank the friendly team of volunteers from Waitrose. They spent two days sprucing up the Sanctuary ready for our big day. Please visit us on the 28th, gate opens at midday. We will be ready to greet you, whatever the weather. You might even see little old me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua. Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare, Reg.Charity No.1124029. Stoke Road, Leavenheath, CO6 4PP. Tel: 01787 210888 www.sesaw.co.uk

Newton Green’s popular Golf Festival features new innovations A number of significant changes are in the pipeline for Newton Green Golf Club’s highly successful annual golf week – including a new main trophy and sponsor. Three of the six days of non-stop golf from August 5 – 10 will feature important changes to re-inforce the week’s desire to provide inclusive golf for members across the club. This year’s event will open on the Monday with an 18-hole, par three tournament organised by advanced coach Tim Cooper, who is celebrating his 25th anniversary with the club as professional. There will also be a new look to the Wednesday, 18-hole Stableford, which is incorporating a yellow peril golf ball wildcard to the proceedings. A different section organises each event at the festival, and this day is now in the hands of the Saturday Morning Ultimate Golf Society, which has made a number of donations to the club over the years. Finally, the 18-hole Saturday proceedings, which traditionally attract around 130 players for Stableford golf and a stroke play element for single handicappers, will have new features. Prizes for the best nine holes will be introduced. Brewers Greene King are the new sponsor of the week, and will be supplying prizes on various days. Additionally, a donor has presented the Golf Festival Trophy for the main Saturday event, which will be handed to the winner at the evening festival party being staged in the club’s marquee. The marquee has been re-roofed at a cost of £3,000 with money mainly raised from festival activities. Entry forms for all events are now on display in the club house.

All our Juniors have now started their summer league games in Colchester. We have 6 teams entered and so far everyone is doing great and having so much fun! On 19th May we entered 6 teams into the Colchester Youth Rally, it was a fantastic day, Celestial Blue finished 4th place in the youngest division, Celestial Pink finished 7th in the year 7 group, Cosmic finished 3rd in the year 8 group, Apollo finished 5th in year 8 division, Saturn finished 3rd in the year 9 division and Galaxy finished 2nd in the year 11 group. Well done to all the players! We also entered 3 teams into the Suffolk Junior u16 tournament, our u13 team was the youngest team entered, they finished the morning in 1st place beating 3 u16 teams, they went into the final playing Thetford u16, unfortunately they couldn't grab the win but finished 2nd from 10 teams. Our two Adult Teams played in the Suffolk B2N tournament in May, they had a fantastic time and Suffolk Solar won the tournament winning all their games, fantastic ladies! Our Walking Netball continues every fortnight at Hadleigh High Leisure Centre Saturday Mornings 9-10.30am, this is such a fun and welcoming session for over 14yrs, females and males, the session is ideal for anyone looking to get back into sport/exercise but in a comfortable environment, non pressured environment, the session also provides refreshments and cake at the end. Our next sessions are 29th June, 13th July, 27th July, 10th August and 24th August. If you have any questions feel free to email Michele suffolkrocketsWN@yahoo.com RAFFLE PRIZES AND SPONSORSHIP - The club is looking for raffle prizes for our up coming presentation evening where we celebrate the players and teams achievements from the season, this is our opportunity to fundraise for the club which is vital for the club to grow and be able to accept new players! We are also looking for companies who may want to sponsor a team or the club, again sponsors allow us to open our doors to more juniors and adults, provide more kit which is extremely expensive, it helps the junior teams to compete in larger tournaments and leagues which will also support the advertising of the sponsorship and club.

Stour Valley U3A Past Meetings Dr Stephen Ashworth, Senior Lecturer at UEA talked on “Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics” on 12 June. How good are we at intuitively judging probabilities? Should everyone be able to earn more than the average wage Is it a scandal that doctors/dentists/academics are below the national average? We enjoyed an excursion into statistics & probabilities, which it was hoped, would encourage critical consideration of the statistics with which we are bombarded every day. Future Meetings & Diary Dates On Wednesday 10 July Paul Stancliffe, Media Manager of The British Trust For Ornithology, will talk to us on "Bird Migration". He will explain what we know & what we don't know. How the BTO is using the very latest technology to uncover the mysteries of bird migration. We will follow cuckoos, nightingales and swifts as they undertake amazing journeys to and from their wintering grounds. Our August Meeting, is a Member's only event and will be held at the Venture Centre, Lawford, CO11 2JE, at the normal time, on the14th of the month. Further information will be given at our June & July meetings. The theme of our meeting on 11 September is "Great Composers Of Film Music". Steve Johnson, a film enthusiast, will recall the history of music in film from the beginnings of sound, with emphasis on specific composers who have made significant contributions to music in film. Each month, the Coffee Grinders meet at The Lambe School, Gaston Street, East Bergholt, CO7 6SD from 10-12 noon. This meeting especially welcomes new members but gives all members the opportunity of meeting the activity Group Leaders and the Committee whilst enjoying a cup of coffee.
