Future Plans for Corks Lane It was great to see those of you who attended the two public exhibition events held to show the proposals for the former Babergh District Council headquarters site on Corks Lane, Hadleigh.

These events took place on 11th April and 18th April at the Cricket Pavilion and The Guild Room.

The architects, Babergh officers and other people involved with the changes to the site were in attendance, as well as boards showing the plans for the site. The feedback from almost every resident I spoke to on both days was positive.

I thought this is an opportunity to show those who could not attend the exhibition what the Corks Lane site is likely to look like and explain the background. In 2016 Babergh members made the decision to relocate from the HQ buildings in Hadleigh to Endeavour House in Ipswich, sharing space with other public sector bodies including the County Council and also the Clinical Commissioning Group. The decision was a result of appraisals of the HQ site, which showed that they were no longer fit for purpose.

As a result of the move Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils will save an estimated £5.8m over the next decade in HQ costs. Public facing services continue to be delivered within the district, including from a public access point in Sudbury. There are currently discussions concerning an access point on a smaller scale in Hadleigh.

The development of 12 new affordable homes in Lavenham has been shortlisted for the East Anglia Building Excellence Awards 2018 Commissioned by Babergh District Council, the homes on Meadow Court have been shortlisted in the Best Social or Affordable New Housing Development category thanks to their high-quality design, visual impact on the area and highly sustainable location.

The development, which saw the construction of the first new-build affordable homes in Babergh in almost 30 years, was the result of close working between Lavenham Parish Council and Babergh District Council to supply new housing to meet local need.

Designed by Infinity Architects and approved by Babergh’s Planning Committee in July 2015, the new houses were completed in April 2017 and have been home to tenants since 8 May 2017.

The winners of the awards will be announced on the evening of 29 June at King’s College, Cambridge.

Cllr Jan Osborne, Babergh District Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “Our Housing Team work very hard to develop opportunities for new and sustainable affordable housing across Babergh, and this nomination is recognition of just how much work goes into these new homes. In this case there was a lot of work with and support from Lavenham Parish Council and, working with them, we have delivered new homes that not only meet local need, but as this nomination shows, set a regional standard for new housing.�

“Our ethos is minimum interven on, maximum reten on�

A new book celebrates the life and work of Harry Hambling (1902-1998), who lived in Hadleigh between the 1920s and late 1990s Harry was intimately involved in the politics and social life of Hadleigh for eighty years and was chief cashier in the town’s branch of Barclays Bank until 1962. It was only after his retirement from the bank that Harry took up painting, and he went on to have a successful thirty-year artistic career with his work exhibited in Suffolk, Essex and London.

Written by Harry’s artist daughter Maggi Hambling and the historian Jamie Gilham, A Suffolk Eye: Harry Hambling, Paintings (Lux Books, 2018) documents Harry’s life and describes his journey from the bank to painting and exhibiting visionary Suffolk landscapes, still lifes and portraits.

The book is lavishly illustrated with fifty photographs and paintings featuring Hadleigh and other local scenes, including Chelsworth, Kersey, Layham, Nayland, Polstead, Semer and Shelley.

A Suffolk Eye: Harry Hambling, Paintings is available to buy from www.harryhambling.com, The Idler Books and Crafts in Hadleigh and Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury.

Some of the people I spoke to at the exhibitions were concerned that the site was not going to continue as an employment site. Soft market testing to identify suitable options was carried out at an early stage. This process confirmed that demand for commercial office space in this location is extremely limited and that there was no demand from providers of care homes and hotels. The assessment work has concluded that the only viable use for the site is residential.

SITE CONSTRAINTS While we all love the location, residents who attended the exhibitions will be familiar with the constraints (as well as the opportunities) that the site presents. These include the heritage aspects, such as the five historic buildings (including Grade II listed) and Bridge House, which is in poor condition. There are further constraints as the site is within a Conservation Area, a Special Landscape Area and parts of it lies within an area of Archaeological Interest. In addition, the site is within a flood risk zone and will have high redevelopment costs and financial viability considerations.

Following the soft market testing a number of different options were considered for the site and these were presented to representatives of a local sounding board in November (and again in April following feedback from the Hadleigh events). A preferred option was selected to develop further to form a proposed masterplan; this was based upon liaison with statutory consultees, the scheme’s cost and financial viability and local planning authority preapplication advice. The proposed scheme was then presented to the Suffolk Design Review Panel in March.

THE OUTCOME The site equates to a total site area of 1.22 hectares/3 acres.

The proposed numbers of new homes (houses and apartments) are 58: this will be a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4 bedroom houses. There will be provision for residential and visitor parking on site which has been designed to meet the Suffolk parking standards.

The green space adjacent to the river and the public footpaths will be retained and memorial trees will be relocated within the existing site. The footpath from Bridge Street to the footbridge will remain. The design team have worked hard to retain the listed buildings, to enhance the setting and provide high quality new-build housing all of which is sympathetic to the character of the town.

Some other buildings are also being retained. The proposed development will contribute to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which is a payment made towards local infrastructure such as highways, education and healthcare to address any impacts arising as a result of the development.

A total of 132 people attended across the two public exhibition events, which is approximately 2% of the total population of Hadleigh. To date the council have received 61 written responses.

A summary of the results of the feedback from the exhibition demonstrates that 84% of people who attended the events agreed in principle with the redevelopment of the vacant site for residential-led purposes. A scheme submission to the Local Planning Authority is estimated for late summer 2018.

While many people were understandably concerned about the future of the Corks Lane site, you can be reassured that Babergh is acting as quickly as processes will allow to develop the site and that this development will enhance the setting and is mindful of the environment.

A wonderfully royal wedding and a reminder to protect your interests

By Holmes & Hills Solicitors The recent royal wedding no doubt got the many other couples getting married this year excited about their own wedding day.

Perhaps it also acted as a reminder to finalise the last of the arrangements. It reminded us here at Holmes & Hills about the importance of Pre-Nuptial Agreements. Although Pre-Nuptial Agreements are certainly not romantic they are practical and as family lawyers we are now drafting more and more of them for couples, young and old, eager to protect their interests. Although PreNuptial Agreements are not part of legislation in this country, the Courts can take a Pre-Nuptial Agreement into account when looking at how to divide the matrimonial assets in divorce proceedings.

When the matrimonial Court look at how to divide the matrimonial assets in divorce proceedings a Court will consider all the circumstances of the case, the first consideration being to the welfare of any child of the family whilst under 18. The Court has a duty to achieve fairness and can look at a PreNuptial Agreement as part of the circumstances in the case.

A Pre-Nuptial Agreement should provide for any children of the family or have provision for any future children after the Agreement. The Court will want to make sure that both parties have received full disclosure of the other party’s financial circumstances; have had independent legal advice and fully understood the advice and terms of the Pre-Nuptial Agreement.

Your Pre-Nuptial Agreement can and should be tailored to your individual circumstances. We all enter into a marriage with the very best of intentions and hopes for the future, however, divorce and separation are a reality that impacts a lot of people. Divorce and separation can also be a very emotionally difficult time. A Pre-Nuptial Agreement can assist the parties in dividing their assets at that time thus avoiding negotiation, confrontation, disputes and unnecessary cost at the time of divorce or separation.

When communication is good you can clearly detail exactly how you would want your assets to be divided in the event of separation or divorce in the future. We can address any issues that arise and provide for them. More and more couples are seeing the benefits of Pre-Nuptial Agreements and they certainly have their advantages.

Holmes & Hills Solicitors provide expert advice on pre-nuptial agreements and are able to draft you a pre-nuptial agreement tailored to your and your partner’s circumstances and wishes, providing you an excellent foundation for your years ahead.

Holmes & Hills in Sudbury regularly has availability for Saturday appointments.

In 1538, the people of Bildeston had only just overcome problems caused five years earlier by the manorial bailiff John Stanesby (Issue 24), when his successor William Gawger began to stir up further discord among the inhabitants. Ambrose Letyse had come to this market town to work as a tailor but one morning, he left his lodgings to undertake work but did not return later that day as expected, nor the next day, nor the next.

Gawger was determined to take control of the investigation and blame someone for Ambrose’s disappearance.

The depositions of seven people involved are recounted to tell the tale of this Tudor murder mystery. Fifty-five years ago in 1963, speculative builders G.A. Taylor and Company Limited purchased twelve acres (4.85 hectares) on the Ipswich Road and erected on part of the site twentytwo bungalows called Manor Road. With the help of title deeds and other historical records, the story of Manor Road is recounted from 1566 to 1840.

For just over two hundred years until 1837, four generations of the Fayers family worked the land following the farming practices of the times. In addition, barley was malted on the premises and cereals ground at the windmill erected on site.

Readers David Granger of Naughton, Michael Smith of Nedging and Oswold Simpson of Elmsett have kindly loaned photographs and post cards that show the Bildeston Home Guard Platoon and also aspects of Bildeston Show 1924.

Held on Danford Park for ninety years until 1956, huge numbers of visitors were attracted to this venue, not only to enjoy the variety of entertainments and refreshments but also to take part in the events. Issue 28 of Bildeston History Quarterly (Autumn 2018) is being planned as a commemoration of the men of Bildeston, who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914-1918, with all profits from sales donated to the British Legion Poppy Appeal. As some discrepancies have been found between official records and names inscribed on the War Memorial in Market Place, can you help concerning Albert Fisher and Frank Smith?

Your letters, pictures and memories concerning Bildeston in the recent past and articles relevant to the history of the village and its surrounding countryside are most welcome. Please contact: Sue Andrews, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP7 5BG (01449 740673) Available at Bank House stores and Brook Farm Studio in Bildeston, at Avis the Newsagents and Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, still only £3.

The 179th Hadleigh Show Saturday 19th May 2018 There may have been a rival event in Windsor on Saturday 19th May but with the weather fine and sunny all week the crowds still headed at Holbecks Park arriving bright and early on show day.

There they were met by stewards, trade stands, judges and livestock exhibits decked out in red, white and blue to embrace the “Quintessentially British� theme.

The highlight of the Show for many were Broke FMX who thrilled the crowds with their death defying motocross tricks. Many gasps could be heard as they spun in the air high above the crowds. The Flower marquee celebrated the end of World War I whilst Hadleigh Castings and The Hadleigh Centenary project offered a taster of how Hadleigh will be marking this event over the next few months. The Food Hall and cookery demonstration area was also a must for food lovers with all different types of cuisine on offer.

Titan the Robot met many visitors on his trip around the show with much laughter and interaction whilst the Ed-moocation area gave you visitors the chance to meet a cow and calf.

Numerous local trade stands were showcasing their businesses whilst the Rural Craft Marquees was, as usual, filled with a spectacle of colour and talented craftsmen. The Art Tent once again showcased art, pottery and sculptures from many local artists.

The Hadleigh Farmers’ Agricultural Association would like to thank everyone who has supported or visited the show this year and helped us celebrate the Royal Wedding day in style.

We hope to see you again next year on 18th May 2019

The distribution of gifts on Ascension Day in Sudbury has its origins in two significant dates – first, in 1622 Sudbury draper, Martin Cole, bequeathed that the rental charge from Shalford Mill at Great Henny be used to make up “50 shirts and 50 shiftsâ€? and that they should be distributed to local people. He also allocated six shillings and eight pence to pay for a sermon to be preached, and 40 shillings for a ‘corporation feast’. Later in 1668 Sudbury mayor Nathaniel King added to the gesture when he bequeathed his money to pay for 100 sixpenny loaves to be shared among the same people who received the shirts – the tradition of the Sudbury Ascension Day gifts was born. Today, these bequests are administered by the Sudbury Municipal Charities, which each year invites people aged over 70 – both men and women – who are residents of Sudbury to apply for the gift, which takes the form of a ÂŁ30 clothing voucher, which can be redeemed at local stores Winch & Blatch and Roys. This year 48 people applied for the gift.

It was the 350th anniversary of Nathaniel King’s bequest that was celebrated yesterday. Sudbury Municipal Charities chairman Keith Robins, dressed in period costume as Nathaniel King, was accompanied by Sudbury Town Mayor Sue Ayres as he made his way through the market place towards St Peter’s where the gift giving ceremony took place.

They were accompanied by mace bearers Michael Wheeler and Barry Hibble.

Mr Robins said he isn’t aware of any other town that has an Ascension Day tradition of this kind. He said: “To have a tradition that stretches back 350 years is wonderful. “Sudbury is a special town and it is traditions like this that make it the place it is."

News from Kersey School Squirrels (Reception) Squirrels have enjoyed learning about Growing this half term. The children have enjoyed planting and growing their own cress, spinach and peas. In our outdoor area we have been planting sunflowers and poppies and are waiting for them to appear. After reading Jack and the Beanstalk, Squirrels then planted their very own beanstalks! We are enjoying seeing the different stages that the plant is growing and recording the results.

Hedgehogs (Years 1 and 2) This half term Hedgehog class are learning about being healthy. We started off by learning about two people who helped change hospitals for the better - Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. After learning about their lives and the struggles they faced we wrote diaries and biographies. We are now learning about our own bodies, the different organs and bones we have and how to look after them. In music we have started learning to play the recorder and have learned a song about Florence Nightingale. In art we have been sketching and looking at self portraits. A busy start to the summer term!

Badgers (Years 3 and 4) We have had great fun in starting our Hollywood topic this half term. Hanging from our classroom is our own Hollywood Walk of Fame. We have also learnt the main song from 'Singin' in the Rain.' Our ICT topic also links to our Hollywood topic as we are designing stop art animations. We have created our own backgrounds and dolls to re-film Singin' in the Rain. The children have chosen a range of destinations from the tube to a rainbow cloud kingdom. The children had fun on our Kersey sound walk where we tried to find out where in Kersey had the most noise. In Literacy we have some budding thespians as we develop our knowledge of writing and performing a range of different play scripts.

Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls class enjoyed a fantastic trip to see The Lion King in London. It started off our topic on Africa and we now cannot wait to put on our own version of the show. We have been learning about the different countries that make up Africa, whereabouts Africa is on the map and the range of climates across the continent. Owls class have also researched some endangered species in Africa, and written Haiku poems about different African animals.

Last month I was delighted to host a meeting with Councillors from South Suffolk’s parishes regarding neighbourhood plans. The meeting, which was held at Hadleigh Town Hall, was well attended with representatives from many of the villages across the constituency.

The purpose of the meeting was clear; I wanted to impress upon those gathered the necessity of drawing up a neighbourhood plan, and allocating sites within that plan. A neighbourhood plan is a way for parishes, or groups of them, to have greater control over development in their area. The plans cannot stop development but there is no doubt that a community without such a plan will be more vulnerable to speculative development than one with a made plan and where – crucially – they have used the plan to allocate sites for new housing.

What does ‘allocating sites’ mean and why it is so significant? The answer is that I have not known a community yet that is unable to answer fairly forthrightly the question of where they don’t want development to go. Allocating sites is the much harder question for communities of where they do want it. But by going through that process and drawing up a plan with a reasonable allocation of homes for the future, the neighbourhood plan has far greater weight in law.

I would describe this as the classic trade-off between ‘pain’ and ‘gain’. There is no point denying that the process for a community to allocate sites could be very controversial and divisive. But going through that pain brings the gain of far greater control in future, and the likelihood that housing numbers in the area will be more sustainable than in the absence of such a plan.

Of course, neighbourhood plans are not just about the number of homes, but also about the type and design of new developments. Hence, given the importance of these subjects to my constituents, I hope that my meeting can be a catalyst for communities to get activated and plan for a sustainable future.

When the golden retrievers arrive at Hadleigh Nursing Home, in Hadleigh, there are instant smiles on the faces of residents Owner Valerie Lavender of Coram Street, Hadleigh, is proud of the magical effect that her three dogs have on people who, in some cases, are living with dementia. Mrs Lavender, of Coram Street, Hadleigh, has bred and shown golden retrievers at Crufts for 40 years and signed up to the charity Pets as Therapy (PAT) three years ago following visits to St Helena Hospice in Colchester to see her friend. “The dogs were such a tonic, lifting people’s spirits, that they asked me to come back,” she said. “I love my dogs and they are such a pleasure to share.”

Resident June Ede with Flora Mrs Stevens, the home’s activities coordinator, said: “Seeing the dogs can trigger happy memories for people living with dementia and they cheer up everyone they come in contact with.

“For many of our residents had dogs and other pets throughout their lives and some lived on farms with dogs around them.” She said the dogs were very calm and they had a calming effect on the people petting them. “After the dogs’ weekly visits, you notice a lasting effect with some people, they seem happier,” said Mrs Stevens. Operations manager Helen Gosling said pet therapy played an important role at all Kingsley Healthcare care homes. “PAT dogs are very popular but people love to see other animals they may have had as pets when they were younger,” she said. Mrs Lavender urged other dog owners to support Pets as Therapy by visiting the website https://petsastherapy.org/join-us/joinpat-dog/ .She said: “It’s important that dogs have the right temperament and you will be asked to go along to a pet supermarket for an assessment.

“The assessor will jump out in front of the dog and make noises to test their reaction; they will see their reaction to children and people in wheelchairs.”

St Elizabeth Hospice Fund Raiser On Sunday 6th May 2018, another fund raising night was held at The Brewers Arms, Polstead to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice in memory of my lovely dad, the late David Edward Leeks. Once again, Shaun and Mitch from The Brewers kindly hosted the evening and provided supper for all that took part. Chris and Michelle Warren put together a very entertaining quiz that got everyone thinking. The quiz, as well as a great raffle, raised the grand sum of £450.00 which has been passed to the hospice.

Thanks to the Warrens for their hard work in organising the evening, thanks to the Brewers for their great hospitality and not forgetting everyone who donated raffle prizes.

We are living within an outdated linear economy of production, consumption and disposal. The zero waste mentality is to switch the whole system to a circular economy, which aims on keeping things in continuous rotation and out of landfill. This isn’t to be confused with the recycling economy, which delays the journey to landfill, but winds up there eventually after using lots of energy and resources to keep it in use until then. At Health Foods For You we have a selection of organic loose, self-serve products for you to choose from.

This includes grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and loose-leaf teas.

Why organic? We believe organic farming is the natural way and ‘organic food’ should in fact just be called ‘food’,. So rest assured that everything sold in the Zero waste dispensers is organic How it works in our shop STEP 1. Place any empty container on the scales STEP 2. Fill your container with desired product.

Local Businesses raise over £5000 for Royal British Legion with Charity Ball Hadleigh Team Manpower is a team of cyclists who will be taking part in the Royal British Legion ‘Pedal to Paris’ in August of this year to commemorate the 100year anniversary since the end of the first world war.

The ride is approx. 300 miles long, spread over 4 days in the saddle covering poignant areas of the Somme, Picardy and finishing under the Arc de Triomphe. The team’s members have a wide range of age and ability and includes local business owners Will and Charlotte Dykes from Hadleigh Physiotherapy and Richard Pettit from Highcliff Vets. The 9 strong team must raise a minimum amount of £8,100 but have set their sights on raising £10,000 for the charity.

On Saturday 5th May, they held a charity ball at Hadleigh Town Hall with a three-course dinner prepared by Chef Noir, an auction and raffle followed by music provided by 23X. The auction and raffle prizes were kindly donated by local businesses and due to the amazing high quality of prizes, the guests showed their generosity and supported the cause in splendid style. The final total has been announced at £5,837.46. Auction prizes included an Audi TT for the weekend, various hampers from Adnams, a weekend in a holiday cottage in Woodbridge with dinner at the Kings Head, crystal earrings and a 7-course golf package from venues or clubs across Suffolk.

The event could not have been possible without the support of local businesses including: Adnams, Andrews Butchers, East of England Co-op, Foskers Fruit & Vegetables Wholesalers, Keith Avis Printers, Nick Wilding Photographer, Royal British Legion Hadleigh Branch, Suffolk Food Hall, TDC Cordless Lighting, The Food Station, The Framestore and the Queens Head, Layham.

I am a Physiotherapist that specialises in musculoskeletal problems, womens health and running. This month I wanted to focus on a womens health problem.

1 in 3 women suffer with some form of incontinence, the most common being stress incontinence. It is common but it is not normal! Stress incontinence means that you leak urine when you increase the pressure on the bladder, e.g. when coughing, sneezing or with exercise. It happens when the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder are weakened.

Causes of a weak pelvic floor include child birth (particularly after instrumented deliveries), obesity, and increasing age (particularly after the menopause). The good news is that pelvic floor muscles are just like any other skeletal muscle in your body. This means that if you do the correct exercises, and do them well and to the recommended frequency, the muscle strength will improve and incontinence will reduce.

If you are experiencing symptoms of stress incontinence it is important that you don’t suffer in silence but see a womens health Physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will take a full history and then complete an assessment to determine what is causing the incontinence. The assessment will commonly involve a postural assessment, 'tummy gap' check and pelvic floor assessment. When patients first see me they commonly tell me that they have been doing pelvic floor exercises but are unsure if they are doing them correctly. I use a real-time Ultrasound unit which enables you to see the muscles working on the screen - this can be really powerful for reinforcing the correct technique. (An example of the ultrasound in use can be seen on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/fitframephysio). Treatment then focuses on addressing any muscle imbalance or malalignment, guided pelvic floor exercises and pilates-style core strengthening.

If you would like any more information on what a womens health physiotherapist can help you with, or if you would like to book an assessment, please contact me on claire@fitframephysio.com

Essential equipment: 1. A covered gas or charcoal fired BBQ with a temperature gauge or a purpose made hot/cold smoker; the latter are widely available; typically charcoal fired under the Charbroil, Weber & Pro-Q logo, they retail from £150-£500.

2. A stainless steel container for your wood chips Ingredients: 4lb Fresh whole free range chicken, no giblets 1 level tablespoon Standard (not extra-virgin) olive oil 1 heaped tablespoon Cajun spice mix 1 Large Lemon 5 Bay leaves (ideally fresh but dried works OK) Oak or ash (hickory) wood chips (Qty Depends upon your smoke generator) Method: 1. There is a reason for sticking with free range. This method of cooking retains the moisture because the skin forms a rubbery membrane that prevents its escape; the drier texture of a free range bird is much better suited to this. Others might lead to a somewhat watery product; this is inevitable if using frozen birds with added water.

2. Pre-heat the BBQ/smoker to 100ºC; if using a gas BBQ light the burners on the side opposite that where the bird will stand.

3. Place the wood chips in the container & add a small (125ml) glass of water; place the lid, shake & allow to infuse for 5min. Drain off excess water & replace the lid.

4. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature at the surface; dry with kitchen paper & rub the whole bird with olive oil - you can use a brush, but fingers work just as well.

5. Immediately dust the whole bird with the Cajun spice mix; this smells quite spicy but it doesn't go far; hence the recommended quantity.

6. Quarter the lemon lengthwise & insert into the cavity of the bird together with the bay leaves.

7. Place the wood chip container directly onto the heat source (charcoal) or immediately above it (gas).

8. Cook at 90-110ºC for 3-4 hours and apply the skewer test every 20 min from 3 hours onwards; when the thickest part of the bird is pierced with a skewer, and the juices that run out are clear, the bird is cooked.

9. Cover with foil & allow to rest for around 20 minutes.

10. Remove the skin & discard or if you are hedonistic deep fry a few pieces until crisp to serve.

To serve: Slice thickly & serve with potatoes boulangère & a green veg, Serves 4-6 as a main course.

Storage: Can be frozen; best vacuum bagged to protect from drying action that results from freezing. A vacuum bagger is not a cheap piece of kitchenalia (getting on for £200) but the impact it has on freezer life and flavour retention is phenomenal. Cheeses will keep for many months in the fridge without drying.

Stronger bones, better health Did you know that your bones are constantly renewing and remodeling? We build up our bone strength until we reach the end of our 20s, but our bones are constantly renewing and replacing their cells throughout our lives. Exercise that loads the bone and causes muscles to pull on the bones helps with this process. Evidence shows us that regular exercise is associated with lower incidences of cardio vascular disease, certain cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis. But did you know that different activities can have a marked effect on your bone health? Recent research shows that elite gymnasts have bone density that is between 11.5%-20% higher than average, and that elite cyclists are up to 5% lower. For muscle to have it’s beneficial effect on bone density their either has to be an element of weight bearing, as in walking, jogging or dancing, or their has to be some sort of resistance such as rowing, gym machines and weights. Some types of exercise have added advantages.

For example, dancing and Zumba help to improve balance and muscle strength, which can help reduce the risk of falls, especially in older people.

Sports such as tennis are great for improving bone density and muscle power.

(Research has shown that professional tennis players have higher bone density in their serving arm.) Swimming and cycling, whilst not helping with bone density so much, are great for cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength and endurance. They may also be helpful for patients with painful knee or hip joints, who may find jogging or jumping painful.

There are some things that can help or hinder bone strength. For example, by the age of 80 smokers have 6% lower bone density than non smokers and are 71% more likely to suffer a hip fracture. Excessive alcohol intake is associated with increased fracture risk, as is some medication such as corticosteroids and some hormone treatments (eg for breast cancer) can also affect bone strength. However, a healthy diet, sunlight, and enough vitamin D are all helpful in maintaining bone strength, as well as some weight bearing exercise.

Bildeston's Fabulous French FĂŞte!

The merry month of June is upon us and weekends are full of open gardens and village fairs. However, one Fête that you MUST enjoy is the much celebrated Boule-in French Fête in Bildeston (Saturday 23rd Sunday 1st July: 10am - 5pm daily). One of 4 annual events, Fête d'ÉtÊ (Summer Fête) is a delightful affair, full of French flair and set in a very English garden. Don't be fooled by the unassuming High Street entrance as you are quickly enveloped by an atmosphere of Provence....olive trees and lavender, Rustique to '50's flair - a French Brasserie or Salon de ThÊ....whatever your taste, this charming event will catch your imagination.

"We love presenting our seasonal FĂŞtes, especially the summer one as we have such an emphasis on the garden with tons of furniture, gorgeous tubs, urns and plants for sale!" enthuses Cathy Bullen who, together with her ex military husband Peter, runs this thriving business. "It's our aim to create a magical setting, a very different shopping experience - and a highly enjoyable day out for our visitors.

We want to share the joi de vivre that we take such pleasure in during our months away in France and we are thrilled to be able to raise substantial donations to support some fabulous British charities at the same time..."

All in all this is one FĂŞte, among the many in June, you can't fail to enjoy - and the coffee's good too!

Fête d'ÉtÊ runs Saturday 23rd June - Sunday 1st July 10am - 5pm daily www.boule-in.co.uk

Anglia Brass In 2017 an orchestra from Amiens, France visited Suffolk and invited the Stowmarket-based Mid-Suffolk Brass to visit. Mid-Suffolk Band decided to form an Anglian Brass Band and invited five other bands to join them. After only one rehearsal in Ipswich we set off from Colchester at 6.15am on 3rd April. On the first concert we followed the French National Brass Band Champions and looking like rabbits in the headlights in complete awe, we then stepped up to the plate and delivered an outstanding performance exceeding all expectation. It was a bit like you’re Long Melford Football Club on the same playing field with Manchester United and you pull off an amazing result!

This performance, and the following two concerts (one on the promenade at Mers-les-Bains) resulted in standing ovations from audiences and requests for encores. We also played at a remembrance ceremony at the Theipval WW1 Memorial which was an honour. A wreath was laid in memory of all the musicians that downed their instruments to fight and not to return. This was covered by French National TV. Although we played under the collective name of “Anglia Brass� each band kept their own identity by wearing our own uniforms – a blaze of colour!

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday 7th May 2018: The sun shone once again on Hadleigh Garden Club as we set out on our second trip of the year. We travelled to Ulting Wick near Maldon to visit the garden of Phillippa Burrough. The eleven acre garden, which has been developed over the last twenty years, surrounds a farmhouse and timber barns, some dating back to the sixteenth century. We timed our visit to take advantage of the huge display of tulips and, despite the extremes of weather over the last few weeks, we were not disappointed. Ten thousand bulbs are planted each year in a variety of settings. There are displays in formal areas with a limited palette of companion planting to show them to best advantage (see photo), single coloured bulbs in tubs, others in mixed borders by the stream and still more in beds by the house. Every colour combination, flower type and size were there to be admired. There are pots with new varieties that are being trialled - some with vibrant flowers as big as dinner plates and some smaller and more delicate in shades of pink which turn to a glowing bronze as they fade. Indeed there were plenty of ideas for everyone's garden, no matter how big or small.

Our next get together on Monday 11th June 2018: We are back at Hadleigh Town Hall this month and we welcome David Ward from the Beth Chatto gardens. The theme will be 'Making a drought resistant garden', I'm sure we could all do with advice about this, particularly living in this area of the country.

The meeting starts at 7.30pm and is £3 for non members and £1 for members, to include refreshments. The competition for this month is ' one rose bloom'.

We are always happy to welcome new members and we look forward to seeing you there.

Notable in our last show, "Show time 11", was the variety and amount of musical talent, keyboard, cello, ukuleles, trumpet,guitar, and our own vocalists, and visiting singers.This is likely to increase for "SALMAGUNDI" . Our new directors Martine and Shirley will come up with a show for the whole family.

Down to Earth ...with Dave At last we are getting the sort of weather that is more normal for this time of year. On the allotment the daffodils are finished but they will soon be followed by plenty of gladioli that are growing very quickly in the next bed. Try to resist tying up the old daffodil leaves in a knot. I know they look neater if they are knotted up but this does no good for the future productivity of the bulb, and they only have to be left untidy for a couple of weeks It is full steam ahead with the planting of the various brassicas, protected as usual by the upturned florists' flowerpots with their bottoms cut out. This is one of my favourite tricks and it seems to work year after year. Keep picking the asparagus as it has a very short season, though it may go on a little longer this year due to the much later start.

Towards the end of May is a good time to carry out what is known as the 'Chelsea chop', this involves cutting back some herbaceous plants by about a third, even if they are flowering. This drastic pruning coincides with the Chelsea flower show, hence its name. Pruning so late delays flowering and gives a more compact plant with less need for staking. Plants suitable for the Chelsea chop include most sedums, campanulas, phlox, achillea, nepeta and many of the true geraniums, all of the plants will flower again but not grow so tall. There has been much talk recently in the media about the use or not of plastics in the garden. Over the years I have managed to build up quite a stock of various sized plastic pots. These are washed, sorted by size and stacked under the bench for use as needed. I probably have enough to last me till I hang up my gardening boots. Many plants come in flimsy multipacks, if these are used two together they can be re-used. Of course, the various patterns and sizes have to match and there will always be some that are odd. Large lemonade bottles have their tops or bottoms cut off and are used as individual mini cloches. The large florists flowerpots with the bottom cut off have been used for years on the allotment.

Plastic compost bags have numerous uses such as being cut up for lining hanging baskets and other plant containers, storing spent compost, transporting rubbish to the tip or to the allotment. If you do need to buy pots then various fibre ones are available. The advantage with these is that the small plants are planted out without any root disturbance. The ideal situation would be to have dozens of terracotta pots stacked in the potting shed as Monty Don has, but this is not going to happen. I recently asked the price of some at an antique sale and was told that they varied in price, starting at £10 for four little ones. Finally the little hedgehog is back and being given a regular supper of tinned cat food. This has to be protected from cats with a specially built hedgehog feeding station.

That's all for this time, Dave

Summer Concert: 6.30 pm June 10th St. Mary’s Church, Stoke-by-Nayland For our summer concert this year, we are returning to St. Mary’s church, Stoke-by-Nayland – a church with really great acoustics. Our programme will include some wonderful music by Dvorak – the ever popular Slavonic Dances as well as the final two movements of his 8th. Symphony. Also included is the waltz from Tchaikovsky’s music for the ballet: The Sleeping Beauty, some Irish folk songs, and ‘Singin’ in the Rain’.

It’s show-time again

COLLINS S CURTIS MASON NRY LTD

Once again, we find ourselves back in the thick of show and festival season. Our county holds a great variety of events from the largest to those that are small and local, each with their own themes, fun and attraction – not least of which is often the great variety of food and drink on offer.

But there is, unfortunately, a downside to alfresco eating, not just from food stalls but also bought or homemade picnics; and that is rubbish.

I’ve been to many of our great shows and events, a previous job of mine meaning I got to work at a lot of them, and they are truly a place to indulge yourself in delicious delights. From your classic ice-creams and lollies to artisan products, these day trips are a great time for treats. But it has so often saddened me, that at the end of these events, or even when out enjoying a coastal or rural walk, just how much litter there is. If someone has gone to a beautiful place to enjoy the scenery or an event happening there, it seems very strange to me, that some choose to leave it in a worse state than that which they themselves, got to enjoy.

Not only does it not look nice, but it has a horribly negative, and often lethal impact on wildlife and the soil, plants and landscape around. It is a shame, that we are not only living in a throw-away culture, but that many don’t even make any attempt to take care about where they throw things away. Not that long ago, I went for a short walk close to my home town and in amongst the trees were more plastic bottles than I could count. The sight of such blatant littering made me think twice about heading out that way again – which is not how things should be. We should be out enjoying our open spaces, we should indeed have fun and visit local attractions and attend events but we should also be mindful of the impact we leave behind so that these things are there for us to enjoy all over again. Do head out and explore our beautiful county but if you are going to eat and drink whilst doing so please, choose sustainable packaging, take your own in re-usable containers and make sure you either put your rubbish in a bin whilst there, or take it back home with you afterwards. www.jenny-may.com

Investigation highlights costly dangers of inheritance planning gone wrong The dangers of investing money in the unregulated inheritance planning industry have been laid bare following an investigation by the BBC's Money Box programme into an Ipswich firm that claimed to protect assets against charges for care. Clients of the company mentioned in the report revealed to the BBC Radio Four programme that they had been told they could avoid care home fees by transferring their assets into a trust. Their estate, after death, would then be passed on to their family. However, a number of those who paid a fee of around £3,000 are now concerned that they have lost control of their savings, claiming they have been unable to contact anyone from the company. One client told Money Box they tried to release funds from the trust to help their son buy a house but have been unable to do so and now fear for their savings. Police told the programme that two people have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and subsequently bailed in connection with an investigation into the company.

Gotelee has been contacted by a number of people affected and is working towards a resolution. In England anyone with assets of more than £23,250 in savings and property is expected to pay for care in older age. The issues highlighted in the programme raise huge concerns about the unregulated industry of inheritance planning. Anyone can set themselves up as an estate planner or will writer but the lack of regulation can have alarming consequences when things don't go as planned.

How can Gotelee help? The way to protect your assets is to use a solicitor or an associated regulated professional - doing so provides you with the reassurance of not only experienced and qualified lawyers with knowledge of this complex area, but also the backing of indemnity insurance and a legal ombudsman, who will fight for your rights if something goes wrong, unlike the unregulated sector. Our expert lawyers can advise you on the implications for inheritance tax and liability for care costs and help you now and in the future.

We can also ensure the people you care most Peter Crix about are not forced to deal with unnecessary difficulties after your death by helping you write a will. A will is especially important if you own property or other valuable assets, if you cohabit with a partner and even more so if you have children.

To find out more, call us on 01473 822102 or visit us at one of our offices in Hadleigh, Ipswich, Felixstowe and Woodbridge.

Do You listen to Classic FM? Did You know that Mozart had more works in the Classic FM Hall of Fame than any other composer?

Would you like hear Mozart’s works played live?

Then Lavenham Church on June 24th 2018 at 19:00hrs is the place to be as the Lavenham Sinfonia play a full programme of some of Mozart’s most popular works.

The concert opens with the Overture to the opera “The Marriage of Figaro” in D major which is one of Mozart’s most popular stage works. Composed in 1786 and performed in the same year in Vienna it is the first of 3 operas collaborating with the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte (the others being Don Giovanni and Cosi fan Tutte). The overture fizzes with energy and excitement right from the start and provides a great start to the evening.

It is followed by the Violin Concerto No.4 also in D major. It was composed during 1775 in Salzburg when Mozart was 19 yrs old and is the penultimate concerto of 5 all composed in the same year and show how the young composer was fast developing his technique. Each concerto progressively gives the soloist a greater chance to shine. The work is in 3 sections or movements Allegro, Andante Cantabile and a final Rondeau.

The soloist for this concert is the Suffolk born Rosemary Hinton. Rosemary has played with Sinfonia before as well as the Wolsey Orchestra and at Snape Maltings, nationally she has played with the Royal Philharmonic and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to name but a few.

The final work is the Symphony No.39 in E flat major. Composed in 1788 together with symphonies 40 and 41, they represent the final works of this type that Mozart wrote. Scored for flute, pairs of clarinets (instead of oboes), bassoons, trumpets, horns, timpani and strings it is in 4 movements Allegro, Andante, Minuet and a final closing Allegro.

This is a really exciting concert that promises to be a great start to the Summer. There are still tickets available from Lavenham Guildhall shop, Lavenham Tourist office and Compact Disc in Sudbury. For more information on the Sinfonia and its conductor Jeremy Hughes go to www,lavenhamsinfonia.co.uk.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre Hello from the horse who has shrunk from 15hh to under 10hh. It’s a lot to lose under any circumstances; lucky I’m a simulator and not a live pony!

Here’s one of my adult riders, Evie, who has been coming here since she was three years old, so she has witnessed plenty of change, in the live pony herd, and in ME. It’s much easier for Evie to use our hoist now that I’m lower, and her side walkers don’t have to balance on mounting blocks either. Its a very clever solution to the lifting problem some of my riders had, and it could make me look less scary to new riders. So I won’t complain any more; I’ll just get on with doing what we all love doing here at the Centre: giving disabled people the chance to ride. We had a welcome visit from nine Essex University students last month. They came to do voluntary service here so we really had them working hard. Weeding, mowing, grooming and, worst of all, uprooting ragwort. The weather was perfect and the Bret valley looked beautiful, so they all fell in love with Shelley. They asked a million questions about us, and as the 11 students came from about 7 different countries, we were very happy to spread the word about RDA to an international audience. The students are pictured looking well exercised after their morning out of doors!

Luckily for us, the Trefoil Group has chosen to make the RDA its charity of the year, so we have hosted a local group up here, and shown them the ropes.

Thoughts are turning to our end of year Shelley Show on June 24th. I shall have photos of the day’s activities next month. I get a bit jealous watching the live ponies being primped and permed in readiness for the Show. However you couldn’t wash my tail, I’d short my electrics, and I’ve had quite enough shortening for now, thank you.

Capel R.O.M.E.O. For five years this Summer, a group of men have been meeting each month for lunch and a chat. Formerly meeting at the much-lamented “Harvest moon” Café in Capel St. Mary, since last September we have been gathering at “Wenham View”, Dove Close, in the village where we have been catered for by a lovely team of lady volunteers under the inspired leadership of Ronnie Hudson. On average, the meal is attended by around 25 men who come both from Capel and from the surrounding area. We are always open to new members and can assure them of a warm welcome and a great meal. But maybe the best thing is the opportunity for men to get together and enjoy each other’s company. There is always a great atmosphere and sense of community.

We read so often these days about the loneliness and isolation experienced by many older people, but this is a regular time, the third Thursday of every month, when men can come out and feel part of a caring group. Friendships are struck up and renewed each month. In addition to the Lunch, we also hold a coffee morning at Dove Close on the first Wednesday morning of the month when again men can sit and relax, this time in the comfort of the residents’ lounge. Over refreshments, they can meet informally and try to put the world to rights.

If you might be interested in joining us (or know someone who might) or would like to find out more, contact Peter Ellis on 01473-310096 or at: peterandjanet@mypostoffice.co.uk We look forward to your company.

Hadleigh & Boxford Patient Participation Group Get hay fever help and advice from the pharmacist As the hay fever season begins people who suffer from the allergy are being encouraged to visit their local pharmacy – rather than their GP - for help and advice. You don’t need a prescription for hay fever tablets, eye drops or nasal sprays as these items can all be easily purchased from your local pharmacy or supermarket. The NHS in east and west Suffolk spends around £450,000 annually on hay fever and allergy prescriptions and more than £3 million each year on prescription medicine that could be more cheaply purchased at the pharmacy. Dr Mark Shenton, a GP in Stowmarket and Chairman of NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “With an estimated one in five people suffering from hay fever, the next few months could be an uncomfortable time for them, with symptoms including a runny, itchy or blocked nose, sneezing and itchy, red and watery eyes.

“As a GP I would advise most people that the pharmacy is the place to go for advice and treatment. One of the best ways to control hay fever is with antihistamines, which you can buy without prescription from the pharmacy.

Start taking them now so they can get into your system. Taking antihistamines regularly is much more effective than taking them only when your symptoms are bad. “Some people think they need to see their GP for a prescription for hay fever medicine, but that’s not the case. By going to the pharmacy you’ll be saving yourself time, freeing up GP appointments for people with more urgent needs as well as doing your bit to help the NHS save money on unnecessary prescription costs.”

Dr Christopher Browning, a GP in Long Melford and Chairman of NHS West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “Make your pharmacy the first place you go for help and advice with hay fever. Many pharmacies are open long hours including evenings and weekends and you don’t need an appointment to speak with the pharmacist.

“You can help protect yourself from hay fever symptoms by wearing wraparound sunglasses to protect your eyes. Taking showers and changing your clothes after being outdoors helps prevent pollen spreading around your home. Staying indoors when the pollen count is high and smearing a small amount of Vaseline inside your nose helps to prevent pollen settling on the inside of your nose.” (NHS Press Release 1st May 2018) For any further information about the PPG please contact: Lindsay Panton, PPG Chair, hadleighboxfordPPG@gmail.com or Tracey Squirrell, Practice Manager tracey.squirrell@nhs.net 01473 820127

Bell, Book & Candle Sudbury Dramatic Society based at Sudbury’s Quay Theatre, are about to follow up their successful May production with the magical comedy romance, Bell, Book and Candle by John Van Druten, offering just the right feel for a summer’s evening which is on at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday 10th to Saturday 14th July at 7.45pm. Gillian Holroyd is a thoroughly modern witch, but if she falls in love it is said that she will lose her powers. When, guided by her cat Pyewacket, she casts a spell to make her attractive neighbour in the flat upstairs fall in love with her, she is unprepared for the outcome. And, as he discovers her deception and decides to take drastic measures to stop her, is she about to lose everything?

Said to have been the original inspiration for the TV series Bewitched; Bell, Book and Candle is being directed by Linda Dowdall, who directed the The Railway Children at The Quay last summer. Linda says, ‘a sense of fun pervades the whole play so come along and enjoy some magic, a frothy love story, a lifelike cat, and a mix that is just right for those magical summer days, whatever the weather!”

In fact the magic in Bell, Book and Candle begins on a Christmas Eve in the recent past, and involves some delightful other characters, including Gillian’s eccentric aunt who is also a witch, her self-absorbed brother and a somewhat dishevelled writer - who thinks he knows all about witches!

Bell, Book and Candle is on at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday 10th to Saturday 14th July at 7.45pm and tickets are available now from The Quay Theatre Box Office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.com

French’s Care Haven and Care Farm I was hoping that in this month’s edition of French’s news we would be telling you of where our new premises is and asking for all hands on deck for our move but, as it stands at the time of me writing this it is far from that case. Our nightmare of trying to find somewhere for our Charity and Care Farm rages on and thank you to all of the lovely people who have offered their sadness at our situation and tried to suggest who may help us. I have followed up on all the leads and advice with no luck sadly.

Community Action Suffolk’s Talent Match pictured have been helping us take down our internal fencing ready for our move, we cannot dismantle too much of our fencing or main items until such time that the animals have moved over.

Then of course it will take an army and some weeks to complete the relocation as it is such a massive job ahead, so be ready for the call out on Hadleigh notice board, I can only pray the time will come soon when we find somewhere to go and you good people can come along and help us move out and pay us a visit. I am hoping that it will be on a positive note and not because we are being forcibly evicted if we are not gone in June, with no leeway, compassion or understanding being offered, only “where’s the money”! Our finical situation has been effected by the notice to quit as we have not had the helpers in or any fund raising events that usually keep everything sweet bill wise, so because of this we have been trying to sell as they say the shirts off of our backs, to raise funds to cover the water and electric along with our basic feeds, vets, farrier, hay and straw, daily maintenance and business rates, which as you can imagine amount to huge monthly bills. I have also been looking at the costs of preparing new premises for the animals, including moveable outbuildings and the obvious changes we will have to endure. One of our volunteers Hayley suggested we start a Go Fund Me page so da da like magic here we have it: https://www.gofundme.com/relocation-for-charity Please do go on line and click on the link, some of you already have, please donate/share the link. We had a Hadleigh townee Mr Haines donate £100 to our cause, Thank you. For 11 years we have had excellent references all round and I plan to continue this in our new premises, when we find it! The search continues so please pass on any leads or suggestions, I am all ears and ready to sprint to their doors, after having had two knockbacks from ideal farms that are both standing idle and dilapidated and could have done with French’s love and care to bring them back to life, but not to be. I have had to pick myself back up and march on, to be honest, I feel battered and broken from this god awful experience so far and look forward to better days! The media have been so supportive, along with news papers and radio stations doing regular stories on our appeal to try and help French’s end the nightmare of having to find a new home.

Another call out today is for anyone who can help for awhile with storage, we have a lot of equipment that needs to go into storage while we sort things out, some we will keep and other things can hopefully be sold. Can you help? Do you have anything in the way of lock up space we can use?

Here we go again. Once the nesting season gets under way the influx of baby birds and chicks starts and Mum is kept busy responding to the constant demand for food. In between the feeding sessions Hettie, the ex battery hen wanders around the sleeping dogs, softly clucking and scratching at the floor then wanders out again to dig up Mum’s plant pots. She must have developed a dislike of communal living because she ‘don’t dish the dirt with the rest of the girls’. Instead Hettie prefers her own little nesting box in our back porch where she sleeps and lays her eggs.

If you read this in time you may like to visit us at our Summer Sale, 12-4pm 2nd June at Newton Green Village Hall. Lots to buy including nearly new evening and prom dresses, ladies fashions and accessories.

Suffolk Bereavement Support – The depth our loss can be underestimated A recent area of discussion at our group meetings is the extent of the loss that the bereaved may experience. All too often those who are near and dear to us expect us to be able to bounce back to normality and cannot understand why we are still grieving for sometimes quite a protracted period of time. It is sometimes confusing for those who are going through the process too. When we become aware of the wide and varied associated losses following bereavement which play a big part in the grieving process, it is much easier to understand why grieving may for some people be long and complex.

When we came to look at it we discovered over twenty losses in addition to that central loss of a loved one. For example, loss of security; loss of selfconfidence; loss of the ability to see and make choices; loss of inner happiness and joy. It’s no wonder then, that it can take a while to regain our equilibrium!

Our groups provide the opportunity to understand and to express how we feel in a supportive group setting and can and do contribute to recovery for our members. And it’s not all gloomy we generally succeed in bringing some humour to the situation!

If this blog is meaningful for you in connection with a bereavement, be it recent or further back in time then why not come and join a Suffolk Bereavement Support group? We are here to help! Our afternoon group is held in central Hadleigh on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 1.30pm-3.00pm and our Capel St. Mary group meets in the early evening on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 6.30pm-8.00pm. Each meeting finishes with refreshments and informal chat. We would love to hear from you if you would like to join us at any time.

Surviving Winter In Hadleigh (and surrounding villages) We completed our fourth full year giving assistance to our largest numbers of local residents to date. This included thermal wear for the day or night. Funding for heating to meet shortfalls in utility bill charges. Where an existing electric blanket needs replacing, any replacement to be purchased by the applicant with our funding. We have previously given assistance for extreme weather wear to the disabled who are required to travel distances for employment. We recently gave support for replacement batteries and servicing to keep one rider mobile rather than completely house bound. Our grateful thanks to Hadleigh Mobility in the Market Place. They gave service of the greatest standard plus a charge that we were able to meet and not break the bank. We also supported an emergency 24hr land line service on which a resident relies greatly. We distributed more personal help alarms in the event of requiring immediate assistance. We still have some available for the over sixty years of age.

Should you know of or belong to a club that has a need for Hi-Vis vests either for working with the aged or more energetic pursuits, we have a limited number to dispose of free of charge. We also have a number of new collecting boxes and wraps to go with the boxes, again, free of charge. These will be given priority to Registered Charity Groups only. We are looking to seek a volunteer with the view to replacing a retiring helper and possible future chair person. Please ring Hadleigh 829127 to discuss all items above in the fullest confidentiality. We hope to have a fundraising stall again in the Friday market for Surviving Winter in Hadleigh. The Be Saturday Market, this new venture is monthly through to October, on the first Saturday of the month. We were given a space for a trial run, and it has promise of our continuing for another highly worthy cause, (MSF) The Be monthly market has great possibilities and the lessee of the market is very well inclined to grant us a stall amongst the interesting vendors of yester years.

SKy Watch

by Neil Norman

The Sun as seen from the Planets Sun 5th Rise 04.44 Set 21.23, 15th Rise 04.40 Set 21.31, 30th Rise 04.44 Set 21.33 Moon New 13th, Full 28th.

Planets Venus is at magnitude -4.0 in the evening sky. On the 16th, the Moon will be close to the brilliantly white shinning planet. Mars shines at magnitude -1.3 in the morning sky in the constellation of Capricornus. Jupiter is visible all night. The Moon passes close on the 23rd. Saturn is now visible for most of the night and reaches opposition on the 27th, when it will be magnitude 0.0.

The Sun As seen From Other Planets As you will be aware, the Summer Solstice occurs on the 21st of this month.

This is when the Sun reaches its highest position in our sky. Summer is now in full swing and the nights are long for us (but very short for astronomers!).

Many people ask me , "how big does the Sun look from the other planets"?

The best way to explain this is via the above illustration.

From Mercury, we can see that it is vast and indeed takes up a large majority of the sky.

This also obviously increases the light and heat received, making Mercury a hellish world. From Venus it is a tad larger than from Earth. If one could stand on the planet and see the Sun (the planet is enshrouded by cloud) the amount of light and heat would be higher but not detrimental to humans .

Moving on to Mars and we can see a definite decrease in size. This indicates that the the light and heat received is only a fraction of that on Earth; in fact, the highest temperatures on Mars are in the region of 22 degrees C. Not bad, but the nights are -80 degrees C or more. Now moving on to the remainder of the planets from Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus through to Neptune, we see the Sun as little more than a bright star. We know that these planets are very dynamic weather-wise , and at their vast distances they receive little in the way of Heat or light to energise them. This indicates that the outer planets produce their own heat source from within, which Solar System climatologists are still divided in opinion as to the exact workings of this.

Until next month, keep looking up and enjoy your long evenings - it wont be long before they start to ‘pull in’.

“Pizza and chips!” The children answered enthusiastically but the wrong answer showed they had not been listening. They were learning stories from The Bible. The boy who gave his lunch of two fish and five rolls to Jesus only to see it miraculously feed 5000 people had never heard of pizza and chips!

It reminded me of a story a Vicar told me. Every Sunday, he taught and explained truth from the Bible. He spent a long time making sure people could understand it. He gave a man from church a lift home. The man commented his friend had asked how to be sure of going to Heaven when you died. “I told her what you tell me each week, Vicar. You just need to do your best and help everyone you can and you will be alright.”

The Vicar was sad because every week he had explained the message of the Bible. Contrary to what his passenger thought he heard, he got it all wrong.

The Bible is clear. Every person does wrong stuff, and God will not overlook it. Yet He passionately loves people and longs to forgive them. It is simply by admitting our wrong doing and asking Jesus to forgive us that we get to Heaven. Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sin.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. “ John 3.16 Christine Hart

Kersey Mill Newsletter The main structural repairs to the underside of the Hurst Frame are complete so now we move on to the upper section called the bed. The bed is home to 3 pairs of mill stones. The lower stone that remains static is called the bed stone also known as the nether stone and rests 20 25 mm beneath the upper service of the bed. The bed stones sit on oak stone beams that are fixed to the upper part of the Hurst Frame in a square shape that allows the main drive to pass through the bed stone to the runner stone and control its height and of course rotate it. The bed stones are firmly wedged and encased by 4x3 larch timbers that also create a base for the floor of the bed to sit upon and that is made from 7 inch larch floor boards.

The hole or “eye” through the bed stone that allows the spindle to pass is normally square and has an iron or wooden bush or neck/box to exclude the grain. For lubrication this would normally have been packed with binder twine dipped in melted mutton fat or candle grease. The iron Glut boxes have brass inserts adjustable with metal wedges which are tightened with screws from beneath to the side of the runner stone which are fixed with a bush or metal paddle to augment the action of draught and fiction in sweeping the meal round the annular space between the stones and stone case so that it passes through an orifice or spout otherwise some meal is lost.

The stones at Kersey Mill have not been in use for at least 100 years, so new and repaired parts to the Glut box are required. Paul Willis and Glen Hart of local Company Armour engineering are pictured removing the rusted and broken, damaged and ceased parts in readiness to reinstate to working order once new parts have been made and repairable parts repaired. The stones are incredibly heavy with some of the runner stones weighing around half a ton.

We have had a busy month with lots of visitors enjoying our open days which continue on June 17th with a big event “Dog Day & family fun” so lots in store for all to enjoy.

Nedging and Naughton Football Club 50th Year Double Cup Winners Reunion In last months edition of this Community News there appeared an error in which my name and reputation in the ‘football’ sense was delivered a terible blow. I do accept mistakes happen but I would really like the rcord put straight.

I, Alan Wignall, did NOT miss the same penalty three times. The culprit was Alan Hambling. I know it, he knows it and all the team of that time knows it and to me it is important that the thousands of readers of this magazine, especially the football orientated ones, know it as well.

Hadleigh Hares May: Marathons, Easter Eggs and a European Bronze Medal Another busy month for the Hadleigh Hares. Firstly, there was the small matter of a couple of marathons. In addition to the London Marathon, we also had runners at Brighton, Halstead and Hamburg this month. At Brighton, John Scaife and Scott Ramsey both broke the magic three hour mark with tremendous times of 2:58:12, 2:59:30 respectively, while Joanne Some of this year’s Sargent finished her run in a very marathoners respectable 5:40:37 raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Steve Hunt, Dan Widdowson and Karl Fegan took part in the Halstead and Essex Marathon later in the month. This is a particularly challenging course and one which sees very little in the way of support on the way round. Well done to Steve for his 4:11:20 finish and to Dan who managed an excellent 3:08:26 making him 25th overall, and to Karl who made it round in 4:51:35.

The London Marathon this year was run in scorching temperatures which had many runners suffering with the heat. Despite this we had five finishers this year: Joanne Abbott (6:24:04), Rachel Bodsworth (4:24:28), Maria Ward (4:04:15), Karl Fegan (5:55:18) and John Scaife running his second marathon in two weeks (3:23:18). Running in those conditions must have been really tough so massive congratulations to all of them.

Finally on the marathon front, Simon Fenn made the trip to Hamburg to take on 26.2 miles making his way round in a new personal best of 3hours 23 minutes and 6 seconds. Well done to him and to all our 2018 marathoners.

17th April was the Junior section’s annual Easter Egg hunt, organised again as a cross country run to earn a chocolate egg. Always a popular event this year was no exception with loads of eager choccy hunters taking part.

Lots of fun and chocolate at the Easter Egg Hunt Finally, huge congratulations to Davina Greenwell who finished third in her age group at the ETU Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon European Championships at Vejle, Denmark. The 10k run/60k bike/10k run took Davina 3hours 47minutes including the two transitions. A tremendous performance to be a genuine European Bronze Medallist!

Amazing work!

On the domestic front, Adam Johnson fared well at Great Notely Spring Duathlon coming in 21st overall with Leon Hayward being 3rd Vet and 4th overall. Great work guys!

On Saturday 12th May SBN GC Youth Shield league matches began as we hosted a young team from Elsenham golf club. Due to a late withdrawal from 1 of our players Toby Toombs (aged 9) got a call up and enthusiastically joined the team! A great afternoon was had by all, the rain held off and all the matches were played in a great spirit even though there was a large handicap difference between the sides.

The SBN boys were a real credit to the club playing their matches in a way we can all be proud of eliciting real admiration from the visiting parents and players. A note also has to go to the Elsenham players who smiled all day even though outclassed and were a genuine pleasure to host. The first 4 matches were a handicap mismatch with our team of Sam Nixon, Max Toombs, Harry English and Isaac Toombs playing really well and gaining comprehensive victories.

The best match however was the last match where Toby took on a player of the same age and only slightly lower handicap, Toby had never played the constable course off the white tees before leading to some apprehension from the team’s ‘staff’!! However he was brimming with confidence and reassured us all he would be fine before stepping up and hitting his drive on the 1st not only over the water but also over the trees and onto the fairway with a slight draw shape!! Going 1 up after this fine drive he never looked back. His personal highlight being hitting the 8th par 3 green off the tee to 12 foot before sinking the putt for birdie. His opponent however fought back from 5 down at one stage to only 2 down after 13. As the other matches had finished it was a joy to watch Sam and his opponent then caddy for their younger team mates whilst the rest of the teams walked along supporting their player. ‘Tour pro’ Toby as he was then nicknamed seemed to relish having a caddy as he then upped his game again winning both 14 and 15 for a 4 and 3 victory and completing a 5-0 team victory to get our campaign under way.

Ian Thompson, Del Pritchard, Bev Thompson and Jo Little were entered to represent Stoke by Nayland at the England Golf Team Championship Regional Qualifier at Mannings Heath Golf Club, West Sussex on Sunday 13th May 2018. The competition was open to teams of four, including at least one lady, and the format was best two stableford scores to count on each hole playing off 90% handicap. Mannings Heath proved to be a challenging course and after a nervy start, only scoring three points on the first hole, Team Stoke soon rallied to 42 points for the front nine.

Some solid play from Ian and Jo saw them maintain their form on the back nine to achieve a total of 84 points and making them leaders in the clubhouse.

Following the live leaderboard at home, Club President Lesley Garnett was nervously watching the remaining scores come in and although Team Stoke finished in third place to scores of 87 and 84 (on count back) this should be enough to see them qualify for the national final at Frilford Heath in August as part of England Golf week, where they will compete for a chance to play in the final in Florida sponsored by Travelbag. The Team will join Stoke by Nayland member Sue Latham, who has also qualified for Golf Week, playing in the Medal Winners Final.

Hadleigh Swimming Club News Hadleigh Swimming Club are going from strength to strength with some cracking performances at recent competitions across the county. Following on from our strong performance in February’s Suffolk County Championships, we have gone on to collect a new haul of County qualifying times with another eight months of training to go! Well done to our swimmers, coaches, teachers and helpers – keep up the fantastic work. One of our swimmers, thirteenyear-old Elliot Gladwell is swimming in the Eastern Region Championships in Luton at the end of May – best of luck to him.

As well as individual success, Hadleigh has done very well so far as a team in the Suffolk ASA Summer League. With another round and the Grand Final to go, we’re looking forward to an improved position on last year In other news, our four recently appointed Team Captains have been busy raising funds for the club. Their recent cake sale raised over £130 and was well supported by the community. A big thank you to those who donated goodies or who took some away with them, and also to Hadleigh Pool and Leisure for allowing us to use their venue. Look out for more fundraising events coming soon.

For details on how to join our fun, friendly and successful club, please email us at info@hadleighswimmingclub.co.uk or visit us poolside on Monday or Wednesday evening from six thirty.
