400 in Hands Off Hadleigh Tesco protest On Saturday 10th July, just over 400 Hands Off Hadleigh supporters turned out to demonstrate widespread concern about access and safety issues surrounding the controversial Tesco application to build a supermarket on the River Brett site. Participants lined up with banners on the bridge as a paramotor aerial photograph was taken to put the site in context and to highlight concerns about access on a bend on a listed bridge, across the town’s allotments and wet grassland that is of ecological significance.

Despite the humidity and record high temperatures, residents from Hadleigh and surrounding villages turned out in force to illustrate opposition to the choice of site. Hands Off Hadleigh organisers were especially delighted with the attendance figures following confusion caused by Babergh’s last minute cancellation of the special meeting of the Council’s Planning Committee to consider the Tesco application on 14th July. The meeting has been delayed because Babergh is seeking legal advice on environmental issues and have confirmed that September 2010 will be the earliest date the application will now be considered.

Over 400 protestors, of all ages, turned up at Bridge Street Car Park from all over Hadleigh and from as far afield as Ipswich, Bildeston, Layham, Polstead and Pin Mill. The crowd enjoyed live music performed on the back of a trailer by The Freemen and joined in the chorus of the Hands Off Hadleigh anthem composed by Spacecake.

Mill Pharmacy Healthcare Taj’s Tips : Making the best use of dosset boxes

mill pharmacy at Hadleigh Health Centre Monday – Friday Saturday Sunday

Open: 8.00 am – 6.30 pm 9.00 am – 6.00 pm 10.00 am – 2.00 pm

We welcome ALL PATIENTS for dispensing prescriptions and other Pharmacy needs join our PRESCRIPTION COLLECTION SERVICE for hassle free ordering of repeat prescriptions.

FREE DELIVERY of prescriptions and shop items to your home.

FREE dispensing into DOSSET BOXES if you have difficulty remembering when to take your medicines.

Are you one of those people who has lots of trouble with your memory?

I know I do. Now ... now, I don't remember what I had for lunch today, or for dinner yesterday. I remember breakfast, but only because I have the same thing every day! I cannot recall the number of times I have gone to the fridge and opened the door and then stood there wondering what it was I needed. I know that as I get older my memory will get worse and remembering to do everyday tasks could become very challenging and I wander how I will cope with important things such as remembering to take my medicines at the proper times.

I see my parents and in-laws struggling with this dilemma on a daily basis. "Did I take my pills yet?", "Oh no, did I take them twice?", "Or did I forget them?" I can hear them saying.

I am sure they are not alone in this. I wonder many of you reading this are having the same problems.

Unfortunately, I cannot help your memory but I can help you adapt. My first line of attack for remembering to take capsules, tablets and other "pill" type things is a dosette box. At Mill Pharmacy sell variety of these with prices starting as low as 99p. They come in different shapes and sizes, colours and arrangements, but the idea is that there's a separate compartment for each dose of pills for either a complete day, or a complete week. It has one compartment for each of breakfast, lunch, evening meal and bed time for each day of the week. You can put your medication in the appropriate compartments and it lets you – or your carers know that a particular day’s medication has been taken.You could make one of the jobs of your carers to remind you to take your medication. With a dosset box they can take a quick look and if you have forgotten they will not doubt bring you a glass of water and give you a pointed look to make sure you take them.

Dosset boxes also make it easy to carry your medication around with you.

The large ones can fit into a hand bag, the smaller ones into a pocket.

However, you do need to make sure that it is safe to put your medicine into a dosset box. Do check this out with me as some manufacturer’s like their medicines left in the original containers.

Of course, you may find the task of filling the dosset box daunting. Don’t worry – just pop down to Mill Pharmacy and have a quick chat with me and after a quick assessment I may be able fill it for you every week free of charge.

Toppesfield Close - Setting The Record Straight Officers at Babergh District Council would like to correct some inaccurate information that appeared in the last edition of the Hadleigh Community News. In June, Babergh, with full support of the council’s Housing Panel, had been speaking with residents of Toppesfield Close (and not Gardens as reported), in Hadleigh, about the feasibility of redeveloping the Close in order to better meet the future housing needs of older people in the town. These discussions and initial consultations were simply ideas about how Babergh could recognise the long-term potential of Toppesfield Close and ensure current residents are fully aware of the facilities that modern older people’s accommodation could provide them with.

The Housing Panel agreed in June to move to a fuller consultation with residents and their families and local Babergh Members. Babergh has also pledged to keep Hadleigh Town Council up-to-date with any information it might need.

Residents and their families – along with Hadleigh Members – have now been invited to participate in the second phase of consultation. They have also been given the opportunity to view a new property at the Capel St Mary scheme, as an example of the type of accommodation that could be provided for them at Toppesfield Close. At this moment, there are no definite plans or detailed timescales as it is very early on in the consultation process.

Any concrete plans, timescales and details would have to be approved by the appropriate Babergh committees and would have to go through the same rigorous scrutiny and discussion as any other proposal.

Crowds turn out in searing heat as Hands Off Hadleigh Tesco Protest takes to the skies

Fashion journalist, TV Presenter and local resident, Caryn Franklin addressed the crowd. She received cheers and applause whilst outlining the many reasons why the Tesco application is not in the best interests of the town. “I chose to make a home in Hadleigh because it is a beautiful, independent town. We do not need a huge Tesco superstore and we do not want one, as the turnout on Saturday showed.” Caryn said.

“Independent retailers have been re-circulating money back into the community, as they are locals. They live here too and care about the town.

But their businesses, along with the tranquility of the town, will be devastated. Make no mistake, Tesco are concerned about profit and any money locals spend there will be sucked out of the area and distributed to share holders all over the world. I care about Hadleigh’s best interests”.

The crowd was thanked for turning out in such numbers by Mike Pearson from Hands Off Hadleigh, who said “ On a hot day like today I am sure we would all rather be enjoying the sea breeze on a beach with our kids.

The fact that so many of you have supported today’s event, despite the heat and the cancellation of the Babergh Planning Committee Meeting, demonstrates that we do not want a Tesco on this site. If there are still serious environmental issues,12 years after the first of numerous applications by Tesco, it is clear that the site is not suitable and this application should be withdrawn”.

Mike Pearson continued, “We don’t care if it’s Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Co-op or Asda. We don’t want any supermarket on the River Brett site.” The previous application submitted

by Tesco in February 2008 was deferred, as Tesco had to meet certain criteria with regard to cultivation of land, evacuation procedures and a surface water plan to limit impact of any run-off at the site. This was due to be considered in May 2008. Revisions to the previous application were submitted by Tesco in January 2010 and were due to be considered in the Spring and then on 14th July. Now it has been delayed until at least September 2010.

The purpose behind the Hands Off Hadleigh event was to highlight the many reasons why the site is so inappropriate and unpopular, with access and safety being causes for greatest concern. The impact of the proposed store on riverside wildlife, the surrounding conservation area, the nearby nature reserve and the vitality and viability of existing shops in the town’s historic High Street are all in themselves good reason to question the River Brett site. It is, however, the massive increase in traffic and access on a bend on a listed bridge that raises most serious concern. The paramotor aerial photos were taken by Mark Debenham www.pmap.org.uk to put the site in context.

TAYLOR & SONS *Full Property Management Service or Tenant Find Only Service

Having grown up in Hadleigh, the son of the late WAB Jones, and leaving the area apart from the infrequent visit at the age of 16, memories seemed to have faded, until in January this year I was fortunate enough to meet Jenny Bennett, a Hadleigh lady with family in Guthrum Road. Guthrum Road immediately re-kindled memories, when, in the early 1950’s, it was not even a named area, let alone filled with homes, but a meadow leading off from George Street. Who owned the meadow in the early 1950’s, I cannot recall, but I do remember the annual visit of the fair. Normally on site for three or four days, as a small boy aged seven or eight I watched with awe as the galloping horses, yachts and other rides were assembled, very brightly coloured, with notices, “All Games 6d”. Even more attractive were the large showmans tractor engines, highly polished with brass and lights, which pulled perhaps five trailers and living vans onto the meadow, and when the fair was operational, provided the only source of electric power for the lights and rides. It was always possible to know when the ride started as the exhaust beat of the engine became considerably louder with the extra load placed on the dynamo.

Which brings me on to Guthrum Road today.

Those early memories, plus those of the late Jack Greigs ploughing tackle sets travelling along the High Street, convinced me that one day I would own an engine. Full size is out of the question, due to cost etc, but I have for the last five years owned a quarter full size Burrell agricultural traction engine, capable of pulling about 1 tonne. It has taken sixty years to achieve!! Jenny’s grandson Archie will be six years old on the 16th July.

It was suggested that for a birthday treat and surprise the engine was “in steam” for his party. Thus after about sixty years steam has returned to Guthrum Road. It may not be as ornate, but the smell and sound is still the same. Where houses now stand, once stood rides and engines. Where the road and path is, can after about half a century of silence once again sound to the whistle and exhaust beat. Perhaps if we listen quietly we can hear the call “all games 6d”

Cllr Trevor Clarke

GSOLICITORS IBBONS We do not want Tesco

The picture shows me at the recent “Hands off Hadleigh” Rally attended by very many of my fellow readers who just do not want a Tesco temple in Hadleigh. I am shot in the uniform of a marshal with my famous pith hat and Wendy Eldridge a well known High Street resident. As we pass through this life, we are but custodians of our heritage so let us act carefully. A Tesco will suck the life out of our ancient town (what future for our butchers, bakers et al). As one of the speakers at the Rally brought home – the businesses in the High Street redistribute their income for the benefit of the locality. That cannot be said of the combine that is Tesco. For all of you of a like mind, time is short. Continue to write to the members of the Planning Committee at Babergh District Council to express your objections.

As you can imagine, I have a fair post bag. Two ardent followers of my column are a couple of bears that send me all sorts of lovely cards but anonymously. They tell me they like drinking gin and it sounds as if they have a taste for the good life. I am intrigued.

Through my membership of The Ocean Liner Society, I have had a couple of interesting visits to ships in the last few weeks. I was invited on board Holland America’s Eurodam when she was in Dover. I enjoyed a tour of the ship and an excellent lunch. It was unfortunate that en route for Cliftonville where I decided to stay the night before, I got caught up in a major hold up on the A12 when my 1989 open top Mercedes over heated. The AA came to my aid and I started my journey again in another vehicle. I love to meander on my journeys and on the way back I found a wonderful cream tea in old Faversham in Kent. I undertook a subsequent visit to see the Discovery at Harwich again with a tour and lunch in its restaurant.

To my mind the ship was showing its 40 or so years of age.

Whether you are buying and selling property for residential or investment purposes please contact me. You will not be palmed off to a junior and you will have the benefit of my considerable experience. Do not just accept a solicitor recommended by the estate agent. If you are a Buyer remember that the agent is acting for your Seller.

Come and make that Will you have been meaning to get round to.

Hadleigh Community Primary News Summer 2010 Once again, the children have been having a very exciting time with visitors, special activities and trips throughout the school.

Year 5: Crucial Crew. The children travelled to Sudbury for this annual event where they are taught about personal safety and what to do in a crisis. Not only was the visit educational – it was also very enjoyable: ‘I loved it – especially when we had to go into the fire experience van since it was so realistic – although I knew it was fake.’ (Alex Baxter). ‘I really enjoyed the drug tent scenario since it was very exciting and almost frightening. I’m sure now I will know what to do in this situation although I hope I will never come across this kind of thing in real life!’(Daisy Horn) ‘I learnt a lot of things such as: not to take people’s drugs, to call 999 in an emergency, to change the batteries of the smoke alarm every birthday and to keep things out of your car so nobody steals them.’ (Ethan Parsons) Year 3 trip to Foxburrow Farm. This trip took place on the 29th and 30th of April as part of the topic on Saxons. The children dressed up as Saxons for the day and took part in a range of ‘Saxon’ activities including wattle and daubing, fence weaving, archery, cooking a stew, carding and spinning wool, making Saxon shields and making clay thumb pots. The children came back absolutely buzzing with ideas, and those who had been on the Thursday trip told the whole of Key Stage 2 about their day during assembly on Friday.

Year 2 Money Day Year 2 had a visit from the Ipswich Building Society to learn about money as part of our PSHEE curriculum. It was a very crosscurricular day. There was History (learning about how money first developed as an extension of bartering), Maths (playing money bingo, pairs and dominoes), Literacy (writing a story based on the book ‘Bunny Money’), D&T (designing and making a money box) and Art (designing and painting paper money). The children had a wonderful and busy day and they all received a certificate at the end. We would like to thank the Ipswich Building Society for their time and support. ‘Share’ Day in Reception and Year 1 On Wednesday 16th June, parents were invited into school for our ‘Share’ activity sessions. In Reception, the children worked on the theme ‘Out and About’. The children hunted for insects, studied ladybird nymphs and learned to make dens. They had a wonderful time and a very large number of supportive parents

joined in with the activities. Year 1 spent their ‘Share’ session learning about healthy eating. They cut fruit, made fruit kebabs, tasted the food and made their own fruit juices. After that, they made their own picnic plate and napkin set, designed a healthy face biscuit using fruit and vegetables as decoration, painted cross sections of fruit and finally had a picnic. Once again, we were supported by a large number of parents and everyone had a good time.

School Camp Years 4-6 had a great time at our annual camp. They participated in a range of activities including orienteering, shelter building, scavenger hunts and group challenges, as well as having to help with all of the chores associated with being at camp such as washing up and collecting water. Many children expressed how much they enjoyed washing up and tidying – I bet a few parents would be interested to know that!

Success at Eastern Counties Tag Rugby Competition After winning the Suffolk County Tag Rugby competition, HCPS then went to Ely Rugby Club on Thursday 20th May and successfully won the title. This included competing against schools from Cambridgeshire, Norfolk & Suffolk. They went on to the North London Regional Finals on 30th June at the Metropolitan Police Sports Club at Chigwell, Essex. Once again, they met with success (they were one of the top two teams), and qualified to participate in the National finals on Wednesday 7th July at Rugby school, Warwickshire. The children had a truly memorable day with mixed results of wins, draws and defeats. It was a huge achievement to play at a national level. Well done to Zoe Dagnall, Katie Green, Chloe Rhodes, Chloe Radley, Lois Peck, Oliver Peters, Callum Morrin, Robert Redmore, Arran Tampion, Harry Kemp, Luke Brown and Jackson Crisp.

Success at Kwik Cricket The year 5 and 6 team competed in the Suffolk county finals at Woolpit Cricket Club and, amazingly, came runners up against a field of at least 20 other teams from across the county. Well done to all involved.

Music Concert On Wednesday 30th June, we had our annual music concert. It was a wonderful affair with performances from the ukuleles, bells and boomwhackers, recorders, violins, flutes, clarinets, a good range of soloists and, of course, our huge school choir who sang four Michael Jackson songs. We have a great musical tradition at the school and it is wonderful to give our students the opportunity to perform to an audience. A DVD of the event is available from the school office.

Stop Press: New Head teacher. Mr. Pilkington will be leaving us at the end of the summer term to lead Claydon Primary School after 10 very successful years at Hadleigh. He will be sorely missed. However, we have been fortunate enough to appoint a new head teacher, Mr Neil Jackson, who will be joining our school in January. Until then, the school will be ably lead by Mrs Watts and her Leadership team.

Barnardo’s 2010 House to House Collection Thanks to Angel Street and Bell Mews Many thanks to everybody in Angel Street and Bell Mews, once again, for your donations to this year’s Barnardo’s House to House Collection.

You very generously donated a total of £136.13. Once again, I particularly wish to thank Millie and Harry Forbes, my godchildren, who gave up their very valuable time to help me.

So a big thank you from everyone at Barnardo’s. Well done!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many clients and friends who clearly appreciated his friendly, helpful and efficient manner as shown in the many fitting tributes we have received. “He was one of life’s true gentlemen”, “He was a friend not my Tax Manager”, and “He was always cheerful and helpful” was a continuing refrain. Alain joined the practice 24 years ago and will be greatly missed by all his friends and colleagues at Walter Wright.

Black Cat Club The summer was really with us when we had our delicious cream tea with scones provided by Beryl she assured everyone that the double cream inside was in no way fattening and like trusting souls we believed her !!!

Beryl and her husband organised our treasure hunt for the following meeting which took place around Bildeston, the clues they provided were great fun to find. We finished the evening with fish and chips at the Bildeston Crown pub and once again Beryl assured us they were non fattening – not sure if she has shares in weight watchers.!!!

The committee will be meeting soon to put together some ideas for our autumn programme and we will be having our AGM on 21st July 2010. It has been a very successful summer and I am sure the autumn will be packed with events too.

News from St Mary’s School Haiti On the 12th January 2010, a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti just ten miles from the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

We live in a world where nations are inter-related and dependent on each other whether financially or environmentally. What happens in each country, affects everyone. Today's children are not bound only to one nation. Haiti, once the richest colony of the New World, is today the most impoverished nation in the western hemisphere. We must give the children of Haiti a chance to prove themselves.

St Mary's School supported parents and children in raising £400 through a bring and buy sale and a sponsored walk in which the whole school participated. This money will be donated to UHUK; an organisation of Haitian people which is based in London. Many thanks to all the pupils, teachers and parents who helped raise the funds.

More than ever UHUK is mobilising to help as many people as possible in Haiti. UHUK is very happy to report that its third container was packed on Sunday May 23rd, 2010 and is on its way to Haiti. The 40 ft. container was loaded at Hearts to Africa then Access Storage in Battersea and items were in bags, barrels and boxes.

Trees! It has been a month concerning trees at St Mary’s School. Firstly an ex pupil Matthew Tecklenberg donated a small oak tree that he had been growing from seed. He brought it up to the school and we planted it in the Environment Area. As Philip Mann had been Headteacher while Matthew was at the school, he dedicated to him. We were pleased Philip Mann and Matthew that both Philip and his wife Audrey Tecklenberg planting the were able to join us for this Oak Tree occasion.

Then a couple of weeks later, in some strong winds, part of a tree bordering the KS2 Playground came down, just as the children were leaving school. Fortunately no one was near it at the time, for which we are all extremely grateful.

The next day the County Grounds Department managed to get someone to come and inspect the remaining part of the tree. As it was The tree coming down in KS2 deemed to be unsafe it was taken playground down. Several of the younger children enjoyed watching it disappear very quickly!

Courtyard Update The work continues on the Courtyard and it is beginning to take shape.

The builders are hard at work getting the bricks all laid and the various areas concreted. Here is one of the latest pictures. It is hoped the Official Opening will take place in September.

Ah now, your thinking, that chef chap has filled out a bit since last month well no, actually the picture is of me, Kevin Davies, owner of the Donkey. I find myself writing the Donkey’s Tail as John (head chef) has taken it upon himself to up and leave. I only asked if he could change and broaden the choice on our menu…it would seem chefs have a lot in common with wheelbarrows, hard to push and easy to upset…! I am however looking upon this situation with some excitement, for the first time I have the opportunity to stamp an identity on the Donkey.That identity is to be a whole heartedly English restaurant, offering recognisable delicious and comforting favourites. This was always my intention. I have been fortunate to find a team of like minded and skilled chefs to help me in my quest, to expand our menu with these classic delights that change frequently and seasonally.

On a different note. The weather as usual is having fun with all our plans, the sun encourages weeds, whilst searing off the grass.Then the wind goes and takes half the garden parasols for a jaunt… some made it all the way across the car park to a sadly terminal end. So I’m afraid its women and children into the shade first.

Then the rain came and the weeds got even bigger.. . ahh summer!

Oh yes on the summer theme I’m having live music and a barbeque on the August Bank Holiday Monday more details on request.

Well on to our recipe, allthough not a trained chef I am very keen on food and cooking, (well I wouldn’t be right if I wasn’t).

Seasonality interests me as much as the next cook, as it sets a challenge and an anticipation of what can be done and created with the newly stocked larder.

Below is a great summer dish that I take delight in preparing in late summer.

Marinated Butterflied leg of Lamb with roasted fresh root veg Leg of English /Welsh lamb 2 fat garlic cloves crushed 1shallot sliced Bunch of fresh Thyme Sprig Rosemary 3 tbls of brandy 5 tbls good olive oil Freshly ground black pepper 1 onion

Method: Bone out the lamb (if you don’t feel confident enough to do this ask your butcher) to an even as possible thickness. To make the marinade, give the garlic cloves a crush and put into a non metallic mixing bowl along with the sliced shallot, thyme and rosemary, give them all a bit of a bruising at this stage. Add the brandy and olive oil and mix well. Pour the marinade into a container large enough to hold the meat comfortably. For best results I find a large freezer bag ideal to marinate meat. Pop into the fridge over night.

When ready to cook tip the lamb out and all of the marinade, chop the onion roughly and place around the meat, then into a pre heated oven at around 180c fan oven 200c for conventional for 50mins.

Peel and slice the veg into what ever shapes you like. Parboil the carrots, potatoes and parsnips, preferably individually, leaving them just under-cooked. Drain and dry well, using another oven tray, toss sparingly in olive oil (a couple of tbls) with the onion and red pepper. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Place in the oven 20mins before the meat has finished cooking .

When the lamb is cooked remove from oven take the meat from the pan and place on a plate in a warm place to rest. Over heat deglaze the oven tray with a pint of lamb stock and reduce to the required consistency. Carve the lamb and place a selection of roasted veg and serve with a crisp green salad.

Enjoy. Kevin D.

We are holding a Recital in St Mary's Church, Raydon at 7.30pm on Saturday 18th September 2010 at which Ben Salfield, the noted Lutenist from Cornwall, will perform. The Lute is not an instrument frequently heard but considering its ancient history it must surely be experienced by anyone with an interest in music. 'Now divine aire, now is his soule ravisht, is it not strange that sheepes guts should hale soules out of mens bodies?' —William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing.

Shakespeare was only one of many writers of his day who attributed to the lute the power to transport the listener into a kind of ecstasy; for throughout the Renaissance the lute's ravishing tone made it the most esteemed and admired of all musical instruments. The fame of the greatest players spread through all Europe, and the doors of royal courts and palaces were open to them (a number were consequently employed as spies) while instruments by the most famous makers could fetch astronomical sums. Ben Salfield is a significant figure in the world of Lute playing and we believe it will be a rare and unique experience for young people in South Suffolk to have the opportunity to hear one of the countries leading exponents of the instrument. "Ben Salfield - After his debut, at 17, critics described him as "comparable to such masters as Julian Bream", whose tradition he is sometimes seen as continuing.

Hailed as "one of the most exciting lutenists of his generation", he performs both solo and in various duos and has appeared in most European countries and broadcast on radio and television. Ben Salfield is an eminent interpreter of John Dowland`s music and considered as an exponent of the modern renaissance style of performance."

Home Computer Services issue a warning Over the past 8 - 10 weeks I have been called out to various people in the local area that have been phoned by a company claiming that your home computer has a virus. Their claim is that Microsoft have informed them you have a virus and they have been instructed to call you and remove the virus. Many people have paid up to £89.99 and then allowed the company to access their machine remotely (remote access). With this remote access open on your p.c. you allow them into your machine free to look at and do what ever they choose. Many people have said they have been logged on for as long as 3 hours, you only need a few minutes to gain access to your history, stored passwords and online banking etc. It really can happen that quick.

After this you will then need to inform your bank and credit card company's of what has happened to prevent fraud, if its not to late already.

After this has taken place a ‘back door’ can be left open allowing them access, the only guaranteed way to change this is for a complete system cleanse, wipe and rebuild of the o.s. I have had to do this on every occasion. Not only are you paying for a service from them that you didn’t need but then having to pay a further charge to take away the mess that they created. If you have had this service offered to you and taken it, then please contact me. If you receive a phone call offering you this service, please hang up on them, they are persistent so please do not be worried about hanging up on them, and there is no way of them knowing that you have a virus on your machine.

French Complexion In our battle to hold back the years most women look in the mirror and worry about lines and wrinkles and do not realize the main area of concern should be an even skin tone.

The appearance of dark patches, red veins, and dark spots on the skin can have a big ageing effect. Dermatologists agree that when skin tone is uneven it makes you look older, and if you cannot understand when you look in the mirror what is ageing you, it’s odds on that it is probably an uneven skin tone. So what can be done? The first step would be to make an appointment with French Complexion to have a consultation with the imaging camera. This will take photo’s 2mm under the skin’s surface which will show the blood supply, melanin plus any sun damage that are hidden away from the skins surface, because although you may not be seeing actual dark spots yet, it is not to say that your discolourations will not develop more over time.

Knowledge is the key to a younger looking skin, the camera provides you with the evidence you need to keep any problems under the skin and not in front of the mirror. There are many triggers that can cause an uneven skin tone, exposure to the sun, our reactions to certain drugs, stress, smoking, poor diet etc, but we have the ability to understand how and why this is happening, so if you would like to look into the future of your skin and hopefully regain a more youthful appearance please call 01473 828805 for an appointment. Your appointment includes- a photographic printout of your skin, a printout of treatments/products to help you achieve the optimum result for your skin.

a wonderful skin brightening facial designed to give you a radiant facial glow for the summer £38.00* (normally £45.50) * This special price also includes a hand and arm treatment (offer ends 31st August 2010)

Rotary Review CLUB MATTERS: On May 3rd the Club attained its second new member of the year when RON AUSTIN was warmly welcomed into Rotary. It is hoped that Ron will enjoy Rotary fellowship for many years to come. On 1st July BRIAN HAVIS, in a short ceremony, took over as President for Rotary year 2010/11. WE wish him a very enjoyable and successful term. During the last 2 weeks of June it was necessary for the Club to change its meeting place and a temporary home was found at the Queens Head, Lower Layham. Members would like to thank Steve and his staff for making the Club feel at home and looking after us so well. The reason for the change of venue was the marriage of Eight Bells landlord Gianni's daughter, Lucy, in Italy. All members offer their congratulations and wish her a long and happy marriage.

CHARITABLE EVENTS: The Club was represented at the May Show as usual and a very creditable £406 was raised. This has been distributed together with other funds to International and local charities including Sightsavers, Mercy Ships UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Cruse Bereavement Care, St Elizabeth Hospice and Barnardos Ipswich.

SPEAKERS: 1 Mrs Gloria Powell MBE made a welcome return to the Club, this time to tell members about her visit to Buckingham Palace to receive her MBE. She illustrated an amusing and interesting talk with a DVD of the ceremony and she should be very proud of the award which is richly deserved.

2 Mrs Glenn Abbassi who recently became a member of the Club gave a short speech to introduce herself.She outlined her career from its commencement at Midland Bank to Analyst at a city stockbroking firm then as Complaint Manager with NHS and finally as a Charity consultant.

Now retired she acts as courier for the Anthony Nolan Trust transporting stem cells from various hospitals to the Royal Marsden in London.This work takes her to many European cities as well as occasional visits further afield to Canada, Hongkong and Australia. Time is critical so that arrnging and catching flights as well as overcoming delays is quite a challenge.

Stem cells are used mainly in the treatment of Leukaemia and whilst there are 400,000 donors registered in UK there are ma ny more in Europe with 2 million in Germany alone giving more opportunities for matching with overseas donors.

3 Mrs Jill Brooks, chairman of Upbeat which provides support for heart attack victims and their careres in Suffolk, spoke about the work of the organisation which was set up 15 years agoand now has 740 members.

She has personal experience to draw upon as both she and her husband have suffered heart attacks and it was after her own attack that she helped to start Upbeat in Bury St Edmunds.There is also a group in Sudbury now. The centres are staffed by qualified nurses, physiotherapists etc and there are meetings on most days of the week.

The aim is to improve the health and lifestyle of victims and the carers so that they may lead as full a life as possible. There is no membership fee but there are modest charges for exercise sessions etc. However costs run at £4500 per month with most of this raised by members and funds are always needed.

4 Peter Garnett gave a presentation about waste disposal management in Suffolk. The four main activities cover waste reduction by encouraging less packaging etc, re-use of items through furniture projects and charity shops, recovery by composting and collection banks, finally reduce disposal to landfill as much as possible. Waste management costs are about £100 per annum per household with a cost of £80 per ton for landfill disposal. In Babergh the budget for collection and disposal is around £1.5 million and it is hoped to reduce this by partnership working with other councils. This is already in place to some extent between Babergh and Mid Suffolk and it is hoped to increase this cooperation over the next few years. The recycling plant at Great Blakenham is making a large contribution to reducing landfill and future plans include the generation of electricity for local use. It is hoped that this will divert 250,000 tons of waste from landfill but many hurdles remain before this comes about including planning and possible public enquiries.

FUTURE PROGRAMME: August 12 Malcolm Crow, Toymaker, August 19 speaker, August 26 speaker For all information about Hadleigh Rotary Club and new Membership please contact Rotarian Alan Williams tel no 01473 830229.

David and Monica Simpson Wish to thank all those who gave donations in the sum of £375.00 to East Anglian Air Ambulance on the occasion of David’s Birthday.

Hadleigh Thrift Shop A lady came into Hadleigh Thrift Shop the other day with a some furniture which she explained was going to be taken to the dump, but then the lady thought because it was good quality the Thrift Shop could sell and money raised would help the local community.

We can collect free of charge in our own van. Please telephone 01473 829 292 for collection.

We recently celebrated our tenth anniversary of providing community transport to the residents of Hadleigh and surrounding areas. A party to mark the occasion was held and local friends and supporters joined with us. Our service 462 (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) from Hadleigh to Stowmarket sadly comes to an end on 27th August and we are very grateful to our dedicated band of volunteer drivers who have gladly provided this excellent service for many years. A new service will commence on 31st August operated by Galloway’s.

The Market day service that we currently operate to Bury St Edmunds each Wednesday also finishes on 25th August, but will be replaced with a new service operated by Chambers.

With the closing of some doors comes the opening of others and we are pleased to announce the launch of two new contracts.

The Dedham Vale Hopper is back, operated by us each Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until the 26th September.

A 15 seat minibus departs Manningtree Station at 20 minutes to the hour from 0940 until 1640 making a circuit from the station via Flatford Mill, East Bergholt, Stratford St Mary, Dedham, Lawford, Manningtree and back to the Station, arriving at 25 minutes past the hour (last arrival back at 17.25). Transport is for residents and visitors to the area and for a limited time IT’S FREE! You can hop on and off during the day at any stop along the route. Ideal for visiting the local area as well as the more cultural aspects of the Dedham Vale.

Lavender Hall Kindergarten for little minds to flourish

For children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

Open Monday to Friday 8.00am to 6.00pm 52 weeks of the year.

At Lavender Hall Kindergarten we provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to learn through play.

By Donna Ramsey – The Millfield Bar & Facilities Manager If I had a pound for every time I hear someone say “I thought The Millfield was just a football club”, I'd be sunning myself on a beach in the Caribbean. The mention of Hadleigh United Football Club to most people conjures up pictures of grass pitches and men and kids of all ages running around in white & navy, but it's my job to make sure people know that we are more than 'just a football club'. Our refurbished function rooms were opened in April 2009 by Mr. Brian Lazenby, the towns Mayor, the same day that the club was officially promoted to the Ridgeons League Premier Division. The committee realised that the club needed to create a venue that could be one of the best in the area to generate an income that would help fund the running of our football teams, and that is exactly what we have. We are situated to the east of the Town on the banks of the River Brett, hence the teams nickname 'The Brettsiders'. We have a tarmac car park which accommodates around 90 cars, vitally important for delegates attending training sessions or meetings knowing that they can park close to where the event is taking place.

We now have two function rooms, which are used most days of the week for meetings, seminars and training sessions. The function rooms can be opened up into one large room accommodating up to 180 people, each room has it's own entrance and licensed bar and can be furnished to suit our clients needs. Our rooms are furnished with leather sofa's, dark wood tables and high back faux leather chairs and the main room is fully air conditioned and there is also a fully functional kitchen. The club has been awarded a five star rating for very high standards of food safety management by Babergh District Council.

Outside we have a large block paved terrace area which overlooks the main pitch, and, beyond that the rolling hills of the picturesque and tranquil Suffolk countryside. Because we have our prized assets of location, parking and space, all I needed to concentrate on when I took on the role was service, then we would succeed in what is essentially a service industry. I still recall my dismay when I realised that there was no internet connection in the building, how was I going to survive! A few drastic measures had to be taken, and now were up and running. We now have some great staff who provide the service for our clients demands, providing refreshments and excellent buffets to satisfy our corporate clients. We also cater for private functions such as parties, weddings, christenings, funeral wakes and fund raising events, etc. again, the word 'service' is important to us as we can organise events providing discos, live bands, buffets, balloons, etc.

We also, regularly hold events for our members such as live music, race nights, casino nights, ladies and gentlemen's evenings, quiz nights and our popular clairvoyant medium evenings with our resident clairvoyant, Wayne McHugh as well as our annual fireworks display and New Year's Eve Party and in the Summer months we will also be opening on Friday evenings for drinks on the Terrace.

So, although from Tinkers Lane all you can see is floodlights and goal posts........ we are actually 'so much more than a football club'.

We raised our glasses in aid of the RNLI The Hadleigh Guildhall provided a gracious and elegant setting for a Wine Tasting evening arranged by the Hadleigh & District Fundraising Branch of the RNLI and raised the magnificent total of £783.57. Over fifty guests were guided through a scintillating selection of summer wines, often humorously but always most knowledgeably, by James and Felix from Adnam’s Wine Cellar. There followed a delicious supper of wild salmon prepared by Mark David of The Cooking Experience, Coronation Chicken, also prepared by Mark from meat most generously donated by Andrew’s Butchers, accompanied by a green salad given by Partridge’s Farm Shop.

Dessert featured strawberries provided by the Hadleigh Co-op store. The fundraising committee is hugely grateful for and encouraged by the unstinting generosity of local traders, and for the support of its guests.

Future planned events include an Autumn Festival of Soups, a Chilli Evening and a Quiz Night. Posters concerning these will be displayed in Hadleigh and surrounding villages, but if you would like to be included in our mailing list to receive details of forthcoming events, please e-mail your details to rnli.hadleigh@btinternet.com or telephone 01473 828420.

Playstation Pre-School We trust you are enjoying all this lovely sunny weather we have been having and the school holidays! We finished the term with the sponsored teddy toddle around the school field and a picnic after. It was great fun, the children loved it. A big thank you to all those who sponsored, as soon as we get all the money in we will let you know how much we raised! The children have already given us lots of ideas on what they would like to spend the money on! Our bags4school collection also went well- we have another planned for the end of November for the change of weather and season, so keep those used spare clothes aside! Many thanks also to Kirstie and Lisa who held a cake stall for us one day after the morning and afternoon pre-school sessions, and all those who helped make the cakesthis raised nearly ÂŁ40, also to Kate and Tracey who held our unusual Tombola for the school fete! We would like to wish all our children who are moving on to nursery or school the very best of luck, we will miss you all very much! Lastly a quick reminder not to forget our session times are changing in September on our return! In the meantime have a great summer holiday!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE DOING ?"

With the glorious sunny weather we have been having and the impending school summer holidays, I am asking the question - "Do you know what your children are doing ?" We all want our children to be safe, not just at home but when they are playing outside. Telling them the dangers before they get hurt is the best way, so with that in mind, here are a few useful hints :1. Playing in or near water - especially on a lovely sunny hot day hidden dangers, large sharp objects under the murky water will cause injury; Weils Disease - a result of rats going to the toilet in the water potential life threatening to both humans and animals; messing about with your mates and getting into difficulty. Please be sensible.

2. Do not play with matches or lighters! - everywhere is very dry and likely to catch fire and easily get out of control.

3. Disused buildings - unknown dangers such as falling roofs, masonry, doors locking, also trespass is an offence so please do not enter or play in derelict buildings.

4. Cycling - Always wear a helmet.

5. Play areas - we are lucky in Hadleigh to have several parks and play areas , do not abuse them, please clear up your litter, bottles or cans so that all ages can enjoy them without the threat of cutting themselves on broken glass. Also do not allow your dogs to foul in the parks, please clear up after them.

6. Alcohol - anyone under the age of 18 years found to have alcohol on them or drinking alcohol will have it seized and emptied away. It is also an offence for anyone, parents, shops included, to supply under 18's with alcohol; drunken youths will be strictly dealt with and parents will be informed.

Whilst on this safety talk - "Facebook and CEOP Centre" (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) have joined forces to make young people safer online by launching the new "ClickCEOP" application.

All young users and parents are invited to add this "app" to their profile.

Through this they will be able to access advice, help and support.

Crucially, young people will be able to report instances of suspected grooming or inappropriate sexual behaviour directly from their profile to specially trained investigators. This move is being supported by an advertising campaign on Facebook and will include an automatic advert on every profile of users aged between 13-18 years. I would urge parents to advise their children to do this.

And not to forget the more senior members of the community, elderly or vulnerable. We are experiencing a series of distraction burglaries across the county. My advice is that if someone turns up on your doorstep asking to come into your home, you should always call the company he or she claims to be from, and check they are who they say they are.

LOCK, STOP, CHAIN, CHECK 1. LOCK: Keep front and back doors locked even when at home.

2. STOP: before you answer the door - Stop and think if you are expecting anyone and check your back door locked.

3. CHAIN : if you decide to open the door, put the chain/bar on first and keep it on whilst talking to the person.

4. CHECK: Check their details and ID before you let them in. Make sure name and picture on ID card. A genuine caller will be happy for you to do this and won't mind waiting if you want to phone and confirm with the company their identity.

I hope all the above advice is helpful, we all want a safe and happy summer.

Spine Tingling Plays and Comedy Confections at The New Wolsey Theatre this autumn The New Wolsey Theatre is delighted to announce the launch of its autumn 2010 season and tickets are on sale now. The autumn season kicks off with Lipservice Best Bits celebrating 25 years of Lipservice comedic lunacy on Tuesday 7 September, followed by the return of Oakham’s Razor, the critically acclaimed aerial theatre company, with The Mill on Friday 10 September. Director Toby Sedgwick won the Oliver Award for Best Theatre Choreographer for the National Theatre production of War Horse. The season includes four New Wolsey productions. The first, and a highlight of the season, is The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s hilarious and timeless comedy masterpiece. Two young gentlemen living in 1890’s England, Jack and Algernon, have been leading dual lives by both taking on the name Ernest in order to win the hearts of their respective loves, Gwendolen and Cecily.

All will be revealed from Friday 17 September to Saturday 9 October in this comedy of manners directed by Ellie Jones.

The theatre will be rolling out the red carpet to welcome the world premiere of co-production Reasons to be Cheerful by Paul Sirett. It’s 1979, Ian Dury and the Blockhead’s new single Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3) is climbing the charts. Vinnie and his mates are big Ian Dury fans and they’re desperate for tickets to see him at the Hammersmith Odeon, but the gig’s sold out. Vinnie will do anything to see the Blockheads, but life is complicated. Songs from a Hotel Bedroom is a Segue production co-produced with Watford Palace Theatre and the New Wolsey, cocommissioned by ROH2 at the Royal Opera House. Written and directed

by Kate Flatt and Peter Rowe, the show is an exciting new piece of music theatre that unfolds through the bittersweet love songs of Kurt Weill’s American repertoire and the sensuous mischief of tango dance, set in 1949 in the stylish and sophisticated atmosphere of post-war New York.

Award-winning company Gecko blends bold physicality with beautiful images, evocative music and dramatic storytelling in The Overcoat, presenting an intoxicating world where a man’s thoughts and dreams spill out into everyday life. A Gecko and Lyric Hammersmith Production in association with the Theatre Royal Plymouth, supported by the New Wolsey Theatre. Sherlock Holmes fans can see a humorous tale of murder, mystery and the occult with the world’s greatest detective in Sherlock Holmes… The Death and Life presented by Makin Projects in association with Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Roger Llewellyn returns following his international success in Sherlock Holmes…the Last Act! If you like drama with a regal theme, don’t miss King Macbeth on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 September. Deborah McAndrew’s King Macbeth paints a compelling portrait of a gifted and charismatic young man, blown by the winds of birth, grief and love to the brink of power. The Madness of George III written by Alan Bennett and starring Simon Ward and Susan Penhaligon is a brilliant exploration of duty and kingship. The show runs from Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 November at 2.30pm.

On Thursday 4 and Friday 5 November Collective Artistes presents The Meeting. Following the success of their last creation, Hot Mikado, The Watermill Theatre has teamed up with composer Steve Brown, who wrote the music for It’s a Wonderful Life, to bring Spend, Spend, Spend!

Described as a cross between Billy Elliot and Blood Brothers, it follows the rags to riches to rags story of Viv Nicholson a coal miner’s wife from Castleford, who won £152,319 on the pools in 1961, at that time the biggest sum ever won. Directed by Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood.

With spine tingling plays, critically acclaimed aerial and music theatre, comedy confections with some of the finest comics from around the world and even a new adventure for Alice in Wonderland, there should be something for everyone this season.

Film Review with Mat Lucas

Shrek Forever 3D (U, 93mins, Mike Mitchell) After three hugely entertaining films in a series which showed how DreamWorks Animation could challenge Disney for the hearts of children all over the globe, a fourth and final entry of the Shrek franchise is here. Shrek Forever After is the first in the series to be shown in 3-D, as well as the most expensive at around 165 million US Dollars. It may also be worth keeping an eye on director Mike Mitchell, who will be directing Popeye in 2012. As you can imagine, Shrek 4 returns to the fairytale mocking which made the first three films so successful. The world famous cast return also; Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Fiona and Antonio Banderas as Puss. New to the game is Walt Dohrn who, although actually voiced additional characters in Shrek the Third, applies his voice talents here to the antagonist, Rumpelstiltskin.

The plot follows Shrek through a few ‘normal’ days of his relatively new life with his children, his new friends, new popularity and Donkey’s family. As the film progresses the plot does deepen and complicate quickly, perhaps too quickly for some children. Shrek’s problem is that, although he enjoys his new life, he is frustrated that no one finds him scary anymore. This is where Rumpelstiltskin comes into action. As Shrek boils over at his children’s birthday party, the evil Rumpelstiltskin makes Shrek an offer he cannot refuse.

The 3-D visuals in this, the only Shrek film to take advantage of technological developments, are beautifully crisp and do not distract the audience from what is going on within the story; they only enriches the experience. As you can imagine, the world of Far Far Away looks amazing in 3-D. It also appears that DreamWorks have taken full advantage of their 3-D capabilities by including a few brief but visually stunning magic sequences.

It has to be said that, although DreamWorks have announced that this will be the last feature film in the Shrek series, the mass audiences would love to see the green ogre and all his companions back for another film. The franchise has been an enormous success, and it will be interesting to see where DreamWorks go next after they shut the gate to Far Far Away for good.

Personal judgement: Not as good as DreamWorks’ last animation, How to Train Your Dragon, but still a decent film which almost anyone of any age can enjoy.

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

A weight loss expert in Hadleigh is warning that holidays can be one of the riskiest times for family weight gain. Her advice comes after an online survey of nearly 1,000 slimmers revealed that nearly a quarter of them find summer the most challenging time to lose weight and one fifth (22%) report gaining more than a stone (6kg) over the summer.

Yvonne runs the Hadleigh Evening Slimming World group and herself lost 2st after years of struggling with their weight before training to start her own business as a slimming Consultant. She says: “Summer is one of the most testing times for slimmers. It can be really difficult to stay on track when normal routines go out of the window because of holidays away from home and the kids off school. Slimmers find that eating out on days away with the kids can be difficult too. Just keeping the family occupied, fed and active over the school holidays can be stressful for many mums and dads.”

In the survey Slimming World asked more than 1,000 people what their greatest seasonal challenges were when trying to lose weight. Those who found summer the most challenging time of year reported the biggest trials were: • going on holiday (54%) • eating out at restaurants and cafes (35%) • BBQs in the garden (29%) • having more days out (28%) • spending more time with children (15%).

Rising obesity is a growing concern for public health authorities. More than one million children under 16 in the UK are now classified as obese as a result of changing eating habits and less active lifestyles. Making small, easy changes like swapping white bread for wholemeal bread and snacking regularly on fruit and yogurt rather than chocolate and ice cream can make a big difference. Finding ways of sharing more healthy family meals and becoming more active and getting out with the kids can help to avoid weight gain too.

“Our members are already doing something to manage their weight and they can become quite desperate when, having worked hard on their weight loss campaign all year, their efforts are undone by holidays,” says Yvonne. “So this summer we’re offering a special slimming summer success package with plenty of hints and tips and great group support to help slimmers protect their weight loss, enjoy quality time with the family and stay on track on their slimming journey, whatever their holiday destination.” Anyone who would like to find out more about healthy living for families this summer can contact Yvonne on 07971921093 or come along to the Slimming World group at the Guildhall on Thursdays at 5.30pm or 7.30pm.

Hadleigh and District Twinning Association Members of the Twinning have been in “relax” mode since entertaining the French in May by having two garden events. The first was a barbeque courtesy of Peter & Hilary Matthews in their cemetery-side garden.

Unfortunately this preceded the heatwave weather and we had to dodge the blustery showers whilst wrapped up in winter coats. However the food and company overshadowed the elements and after a while nobody noticed how cold it was!

Luckily the Sunday garden party hosted by Pat and Clive Claireaux enjoyed more seasonal sunshine and we basked in the hot sun in their lovely garden whilst Peter provided our own Latitude with his guitar and songs. Thanks to all helpers for both parties and to all members who came. There will be more twinning fundraising events in the autumn to which all are welcome. Watch this space for details. If you would like more information about membership I have leaflets at The Framestore, 3 High Street, Hadleigh, or phone our Chairman on 828233.

Did you serve at RAF Bentwaters or RAF Woodbridge?

Please may I make an appeal through your letters page to make contact with any RAF or Army personnel who served at RAF Bentwaters or RAF Woodbridge during WWII and the period directly afterwards before the US Air Force arrived in 1951.

Bentwaters near Ipswich Suffolk, was the last airfield in the RAF to be activated becoming home to a number of fighter squadrons from 1944 when 11 Group arrived, including 64, 118, 126, 129, 165 & 234 squadrons operating Spitfire and Mustang aircraft. Following the end of the war the airfield was used by 56, 65, 245 squadrons and the first training unit for jets, 226 Operational Conversion Unit which flew the Meteor & Vampire. Woodbridge, which was originally known as RAF Sutton Heath, is adjacent to Bentwaters and was built in 1943 as an emergency landing ground to help damaged aircraft or those short of fuel to land after a mission and a total of 4,200 Allied aircraft made use of the runway saving the lives of many aircrew from ditching in the cold North Sea! In March 1945 Woodbridge was used as one of the many airfields for Operation Varsity, the crossing of the Rhine, when a huge armada of 1700 Allied aircraft and gliders was launched to strike into the heart of Germany. On 24th March Woodbridge despatched 60 aircraft & 60 gliders from 298 & 644 squadrons containing troops, tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery. The volume of troop movements and supply lorries must have had a huge impact on the area and we would welcome hearing from anyone who was involved, both RAF and Army, or who witnessed the build up and the skies full of aircraft that day.

After the war Woodbridge was used for experimental work until 1948 when it was placed under care & maintenance until the US Air Force arrived in 1952. Please could anyone who served at either of the two airfields during the period 1943 to 1951 please contact me at the address below or alternatively we would be delighted to meet with you at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum Open Day (see www.bcwm.org.uk) on 1st August to share your memories ... just make yourself known to a member of staff who will direct you to me. Thank you for your help in this matter which will help our research into this period of history enormously.

Congratulations Three top piano pupils of Elaine Goh B.A. (Hons) Music have recently done very well in the summer session of Trinity Guildhall examinations.

Especially congratulations to James D’Souza who has passed Grade Eight. Also, Lucy Baker gained merit in Initial Grade and Eliza Bennett a distinction at Initial Grade. Very well done to both of them too. We also had two very enjoyable pupils’ concerts and raised £70 for Out and About, which is a great total.

Hadleigh United Reformed Church, Market Place, Hadleigh, IP7 5DL The United Reformed Church is a national, mainstream Christian denomination with its roots in the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches. We worship one God, expressed in Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We commit ourselves to Jesus in our worship and by loving and caring for all without exception.

Here in Hadleigh we are a Member of Churches Together in Hadleigh and have good relationships with all the other Churches.

We meet every Sunday morning at 10.30am and worship in an informal, but reverent manner, balancing the best of traditional and modern worship.

At the same time there are activities in Sunday Club for children and young people of all ages. At other times of the week we meet for prayer, Bible Study and friendship. We are also very much involved in our community through the many activities that take place in our buildings, and especially through our links with the Ansell Community Centre.

Relax Life can be a little frenetic at times. The summer break should be an opportunity to relax and take life at a slower pace. If you find that time to relax, it may be a good opportunity to ask why life should be so frenetic; a space to consider what is really important and what should be your priorities. The Bible tells us that “God is love”. If that is the case, then love must be a priority. That is certainly what Jesus taught – love God and love your neighbour as yourself.

Songs of Praise Sunday 22nd August, 6.30pm, Hadleigh URC Come and sing some of your favourite hymns and hear why they are important to the faith of those who chose them. For more details, please get in touch.

Letter from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the meetings of 23 June and 5 July were: • Consideration of application for support from the County Councillor’s Locality Fund to assist with the costs of building a small waste management site.

• It was noted that the child who had defaced the rubber surface beneath the swings on the playing field had written and apologised to the Chairman of the Playing Field management Committee.

• The S.C.C. Road Engineer for this area has agreed with the views of the Parish Council that, should funding be possible, it would be appropriate to widen the narrow sections of pavement at the Layham end of Benton Street. Investigations are to continue.

• It was agreed to request BDC not to cut back the hedge on the bank between Brett Green and Mill Lane this summer but to allow it to grow and thicken.

• Councillors had no observations to make about the agricultural barn planned for Overbury Hall nor the garage planned for 8 Upper Street.

• The police are to be asked to monitor the speed of vehicles and behaviour of drivers using the road between Lower Layham and Hadleigh around 9am and 12pm each weekday. There are concerns that road users are not paying attention to the rural nature of this road.

• The Clerk is to write to ask the owners of the Marquis of Cornwallis to clean up the site as the deterioration of the area reflects badly upon the village.

• It was noted that the money available from BDC as a contribution towards the construction of a hard play area on the playing field would be available as soon as the up-to-date quotation for the work is received. The grant from the Suffolk Foundation is already banked.

• The PCC are to be asked to check that it is appropriate for the diseased stump of the recently felled beech tree to be left as a seat. It was thought that the disease could spread to other trees.

• The volunteer who is constructing the village website now has most of the material necessary. It was agreed to consider setting up an E-community network once the site is established (a means of contacting parishioners by e-mail).

At last – a multi-purpose hard play surface for the playing field!

It has taken five and a half years and a lot of time and effort to raise the money to achieve the multi-purpose hard surface play area now on our playing field. The members of the Playing Field Management Committee have had a long-term vision for this facility and the first achievement was to provide the basketball unit during last year. Now those who use the basketball unit have an appropriate surface upon which to play built by Scannell Construction Ltd of Great Finborough. At he time of writing the tarmac is still to be applied – by the time you read this it will be complete.

The members of the Playing Field Management Committee are indebted to the Parish Council for agreeing to the £5400 raised from the levy charged to developers of new housing to be used for this project and for agreeing to a further £1000 being granted from Council funds. These decisions are in line with the Parish Council Action Plan which made provision of this play area a priority. We are hugely grateful for two grants of £5000 each – one from the Suffolk Foundation and the second from COMMA (Community Aggregates Fund) through Suffolk ACRE. These 28

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

sums of money have enabled the provision of a 22x20m area of tarmac over a well prepared base within cement kerbing.

Decisions about how to develop the facility will take more time and more fund raising but one thing is sure – a ball wall will be provided against which balls can be kicked and hit and bowled. This will be erected as soon as volunteers can find the time. In the meantime we look forward to seeing ways in which people see possibilities for the area. Netball? Volleyball? Short Tennis?

St Andrew's Flower Festival 26/27 June What a memorable weekend! Fragrant flowers, beautiful sunny weather, the sound of the organ spilling out into the churchyard. Or was it meeting friends over a ploughman's lunch or tea and cake in the village hall? The arrangements were stunning and the flowers so fragrant. A team of around a dozen people were involved in setting up the displays throughout the Friday. It was beginning to get dark by the time the last person left the church. The stewards were in place next morning to greet visitors all over the weekend as we remembered Evelyn Leach and Gladys Lines in whose memory the Festival was held. How they would have enjoyed it!

At 4 pm on Sunday we met in the church for Songs of Praise. A varied selection of hymns had been chosen by church members, including a very energetic rendering of Father Abraham. Then the Festival was over and it was time to clear up. It is pleasing to report that £745.62 was raised for church funds. A very big thank you, in particular to Sonia Groom, who organised the event, and to all the other flower arrangers. Also to those who helped in different ways, gave donations, made cakes or just came and helped to make the event a success.

Renee Boyd (nee Cunningham) revisits Layham after 70 years It was 1939 and thousands of children were sent from the London area to the relative safety of the countryside to avoid German bombing raids.

About 100 pupils from St Bartholomew’s School in Bethnal Green, along with a group of teachers were sent to the Layham area and among them were 10 year old Renee Cunningham and her two sisters Stella and Hazel.

In the same group were the late George Shipton, his twin brother and his sister. Many people will remember George who settled in Layham after the war. Renee is now a lively 81 year old who talks with affection and enthusiasm of her time in Suffolk. We are familiar with the stories of the imperfect allocation arrangements for the housing of evacuees. Renee and her two sisters were a bit of a challenge because, naturally, they wanted to stay together.

They were first housed with the Miller family who farmed Hill Farm. This family had a maid named Daisy Baker who looked after the girls until she found a new job and moved on. At this point the sisters were split up and Renee went to live with George Partridge and his wife near Moat Hall.

Renee remembers playing with Dorothy their daughter. This arrangement did not last long and another move saw her housed with Ernie and Eva Nunn at the kennels. Ernie was the huntsman and short of labour so it was not long before Renee was set to work earning her keep despite being only eleven years old. A lasting memory is being taught to skin dead animals for feeding to the hounds. Before long she has skinned a horse and removed and washed the guts which were then cooked in great stew.

School was arranged in the village hall until arrangements were made to re-open the village schoolrooms beside the church. It had closed for local children before the war. Layham did not host all the children for long as, when the bombing of East London was not as severe as anticipated, about half returned home. Thirty two of the age range 8-13 years remained with

Mr Percy King as their teacher in the large schoolroom and a smaller number of 3-7 year-olds were taught by Miss Frances Gaskell in the back room. Renee tells how the toilets were holes in the ground which needed to be pumped out regularly as they smelt awful! The children had the run of the meadow behind the school for games. She has a special memory of the farmer who cultivated the field opposite the school calling in to offer the pupils the opportunity to glean the strawberry crop before he ploughed.

Food was not plentiful in wartime and everyone had a wonderful time.

Renee had a short cut from the school to the kennels via a footpath through the grounds of the Rectory which was lived in at the time by the Rev.Bentley, one of the few people in the village permitted to use a motor car during the war. When using this footpath they were terrified of the cattle (being city children) as they didn’t know which were cows and which were bullocks or even bulls!

Renee eventually moved on to the secondary school in Hadleigh where she made many good friends including Marjorie and June Glead of Layham. She is proud of having been confirmed in St. Mary’s Church in Hadleigh.

Renee was accompanied during her return to Layham by three grand-daughters and they are seen in the photograph in front of the schoolroom.

From left to right: Rebekah Lynch, Alyson Lynch, Renee Boyd and Katharine Boyd. Renee married an Irishman after the war and they eventually emigrated to Canada. She now lives in Chicago.

Layham Playgroup ‘Playgroups Fun at the Hall!’

The summer holidays have just come too soon!!!

We want to carry on & have more fun!!

The children have thoroughly enjoyed themselves taking advantage of the lovely sunny weather playing in the garden, trips to Partridges Farm & adventures down the lane to the park. No more so than our World Cup themed week, where we enjoyed football related activities in our PE sessions. If only the England team could have been so enthusiastic! We had a fantastic time at Easton Farm Park on our Summer outing, highlights had to be playing with the diggers, the horse & cart rides & hosing down the Vietnamese Pot Bellied pigs!!!. Thank you to the staff, many parents & carers who came along & helped made this such a memorable trip. The children & parents all enjoyed the ‘Toddlethon’ raising funds for Home Start Babergh & general playgroup funds. Great fun was had by all at the ‘Stay & Play’ sessions. It was lovely to see children & parents playing together & a chance to get a real insight into the childrens progress developing new skills alongside their peers. The end of term party & picnic at Partridges Farm provided the fitting finale to a wonderful summer term. Thank you Kim and Charles for your continued support. But such times always bring a tinge of sadness, where we have to say good bye to Amy, Dominic, Emily & Sebastian as they move up to ‘big school’. We wish you well, you will be missed. Never a one to rest on their laurels, the Playgroups plans are well advanced for summer holiday activities. Don’t forget to look out for our ‘Layham Family Treasure Hunt’ with a pirate theme on 17th August (see separate advert for details) & come & visit our stand at ‘Had Fest’ on Sunday 29th August, where there will be lots of games to try.

Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh.

A Youthworker for Hadleigh Since the closure of East House in Hadleigh, many of the local churches have been exploring ways in which they might serve the needs of young people. Two key initiatives include the provision of a youth worker by Churches Together in Hadleigh and the start of The Porch Project at St Mary’s. Both of these are about to progress in a new and positive way over the next few months. A new partnership with the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich, St Mary’s Church and Churches Together in Hadleigh will enable the vision for a youth worker in Hadleigh to become a reality. In early 2011 an experienced youth worker and adviser will work with all the local churches, councils, police, detached youth workers and High School to listen and act on the needs of young people. There are many practical details which are currently being discussed, including ways in which the wider community might be involved. Look out for more news over the coming months.

The Clerk read the minute from the Town Council Meeting of the 16th December 2004 “Swimming Pool Fund” “The Council agreed to set up this new Fund under powers contained in the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976. The Fund will accumulate monies to act as the Towns’ contribution towards the capital cost of replacing the present ageing pool in the town. This money would be “ring-fenced” to the Pool project and the monies returned to households if the project fails.” As the request from Babergh District Council was for repairs it was felt that their request did not meet the criteria originally put down.

The Clerk also reported that the above planning application and another for a carpet warehouse on the same site both appeared to be on hold at Babergh District Council even though the Town Council had dealt with both applications some time ago.

Councillor Mrs Haylock advised she had heard that Threshers may have been sold and noted that works were being carried out in the building.

Councillor Miss Cook asked the Clerk to phone Babergh and check that planning permission had been granted for works carried out, if any at all.

Atomic Cat, Southern Belle and Ginger Mick sound more like the bookiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourites for Newmarket than some of the exotic drinks which greeted visitors to the Hadleigh Cricket Pavilion just recently. Apart from being sociable, the guests had gathered there for the Fidelis AGM, an informal event which also marked the end of the fifth year for Some of the Fidelis Committee this Hadleigh based 2010 -2011 ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group. Opening the meeting, Chairwoman cum Bartender, Liz Wilson, thanked the members of the Committee for all their hard work and the ladies for their enthusiastic support throughout the year. She was pleased to report that membership was buoyant but, owing to the limited capacity of the URC Rooms, there was a waiting list. Carole Burne (Treasurer) & Jan Devey (Activities) reported respectively on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial well being and next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy programme.

On behalf of the members, Rosie Slais reiterated the Chairwomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s praise for the Committee and said how much everyone appreciated their efforts. Once the official business was concluded, the wraps were taken off the delicious cold buffet, provided by the Committee and caterer Helen Golland, and the eating began. The evening closed with the dulcet tones of the lady hand bell wringers from Diss collectively known as the Selected English Roses and so ended a sociable but official Fidelis meeting with the promise of many more enjoyable gatherings to come.

The August meeting will be a visit to Otley Hall.

Diamond-Lites Majorettes It was the start of the open competition season in June, the girls attended and did amazingly well at their first competition in Langham. Two First places, two second places and one third place in the six sections entered as well as lots of first to third place medals won by the leaders and mascots. On the 5th June Maria Oxford held a jumble sale for the Diamond-Lites Majorettes and the EACH Tree House Appeal. On the 10th July Sharon Hawken held a jumble sale in Nedging for the Diamond-Lites Majorettes. Both were a great success, all the girls and committee would like to say a huge Thank You to Maria and Sharon for all their hard work, everyone who helped on the day, everyone who donated jumble and all those who attended on the day.

July got of to a fantastic start with a competition in West Bergholt where the girls did amazingly well, four first place trophies, three second place trophies and two first place medals for the leaders. They all train hard and always do us proud with their performances, no matter what the weather rain or sun they go out with a smile on their faces and give each routine 120%. Well done girls for a great start to the season and fantastic results.

We also attended the Hadleigh Cricket Club fete, St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School fete, Hadleigh County Primary School fete and Beaumont school fete. The girls had a great time at all of them. There were a few children who showed an interest in joining at the fetes. We will be taking more children in September so if you are interested, aged six and over please give me a ring. Majorettes is a fun but extremely dedicated sport, which needs dedication from both the children and parents but is very rewarding and you will become part of a great team and make lots of friends.

Farewell, Community News Team... As this school year draws to a close, the

HEADLINES I find it hard to believe that I am approaching the end of my seventh month at Hadleigh. Time has passed very quickly as we have been very busy. Last month we had our Enrichment Fortnight where pupils participated in a very wide range of activities and challenges designed by staff to develop the personal, learning and thinking skills which are required to be a successful learner. These activities encouraged our pupils to think creatively and solve problems independently. Some of these challenges took place in alternative venues to traditional classrooms such as Framlingham Castle, Felixtowe, Rendlesham Forest, Thorpe Woodlands, the Ardeché, St. Omer and the British Museum. The fortnight was highly successful and enabled pupils to work with people from different communities. We look forward to undertaking further enrichment opportunities in the new term.

On the 7th of July, two of our Year 7 students embarked of a sponsored walk along the Hadleigh Railway walk, in order to raise money of the East Anglian Children’s Hospice (E.A.C.H.) Tree-house Appeal. The money they raised will greatly aid the hospice’s aim to “to build and equip a new purpose-built children’s hospice in Ipswich for life-threatened children and their families in Suffolk & North Essex.” For more information on the appeal, log on to www.tinyurl.com/eachtreehouse

Oliver’s Twist! Last year saw great things for the English, Drama and Music departments, with February’s production of Bugsy Malone and the Year 11’s performance of Twelfth Night for the Shakespeare Schools Festival 2009, and this year is no exception! When this issue is published, auditions will have been completed for the School’s 2011 production of ‘Oliver’, and the cast selected from a wide range of talented performers. This year, the production will have a slight twist (pardon the pun!) with the Victorian scenery commonly associated with Oliver replaced with a World War Two London Blitz setting, which is sure to help maintain Hadleigh High School’s excellent reputation for its annual productions! Also, Year 9 and 10’s production of ‘Macbeth’ for the Shakespeare Schools Festival is coming together significantly since the last issue, with the cast preparing to put all of their hard work into action, when they perform in Colchester in October. Watch this space for date, venue and ticket information.

time has for the Year 10s to hand over the responsibilities of writing for the Community News to our current Year 9s, ready for September. From all of the Year 10s who have written articles over the past year, we hope you have enjoyed reading the Hadleigh High pages in the Community News, and we are sure that our successors will continue to produce the quality of writing with which you are familiar!

Ardeche and Thorpe Woodlands Trips During Enrichment fortnight, 41 pupils and 5 staff travelled to the Ardeché region in the South of France for a fun filled Adventure holiday. During the week students took part in activities such as kayaking, high ropes, mountain biking, abseiling, climbing, Jacob’s ladder, raft building and much more. The highlight of the trip was the Ardeché decent which was a 2 day white water decent down the Ardeché River. This activity holiday was both physically and mentally tiring, and required an ability to work in a team. The pupils and all involved enjoyed the trip greatly. As the trip was so popular, and so many students wanted to go, the P.E. staff arranged a second similar trip, at the same time, to Thorpe Woodlands.

Thorpe Woodlands Year 9 pupils journeyed to Thetford Forest accompanied by Mr Green and Ms Hogan, to the Thorpe Woodlands leisure centre. They faced physical and mental challenges, which brought them together as a team. During the 5 days, the pupils experienced such activities as; High Ropes, Jacobs Ladder, Canoeing, Trapeze Jump, Zip Wire, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, The Leap Of Faith and many other forest adventures. Also, on the last night at the Centre, the pupils were provided with plastic sheets and water proof sleeping sacks, to build a shelter deep in the forest. Surprisingly, the girls fell asleep straight away, whereas the boys ended up sleeping on the decking outside the Centre. It was a very enjoyable and memorable trip for the pupils and the teachers.

Wind Band Tour The Wind Band have recently returned from their superb tour in Germany which took place from the 7th-11th of July. They performed in three different venues across the Rhineland, each concert lasting an hour, and all were superbly played and sung despite the heat which reached over 40 degrees Celsius! Along with this they visited some of the main tourist attractions of Germany including, an interesting chocolate museum and a heart-stopping theme park, Phantasialand. Also while the wind band was playing they were recorded for a German TV channel. We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff including Ms Youngs, Mr Gordon, Miss Smith, Sam Kingston and especially to Mrs Randé who organised the trip.

Skype call with Bernard Beckett

On 13th July a few selected pupils had the opportunity to talk to Bernard Beckett an author from New Zealand who is the author of science-fiction novel: Genesis. He talked about his book and main features of his writing, and how came up with his ideas. It was a good chance to see technology working, this was because we talked to him through a programme called Skype where we were able to see and talk to him through a video camera and using a microphone.

This was the first Skype chat for the school, and was a great success.

Award Winners in D&T The Hooper Architects Design Awards 2010 were held at St.Albans High School, on Monday the 12th of July. It was open to all the high schools in the Ipswich area; Hadleigh High School submitted the work of Taylor Rose (Textiles), Ellie Dade (Graphics), Charlie Guy (Resistant Materials) and Shelley Sutton (Resistant Materials). All four of our entries were awarded with certificates for the high standard of work and Shelley won the overall Design Technology Award 2010 for Resistant Materials. Well done to all the entrants and special congratulations to Shelley for his superb achievement.

Duke of Edinburgh On Saturday 10th July and 11th July, 18 Year 9 students took on the challenge of their first training session at the warden’s trust in Sizewell for the lead up to the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh. Their first session included a range of useful and educational activities such as map reading and learning the basics of first aid with just the help of each other. In the afternoon, temperatures reached a high 29 degrees.

The students were split up into 3 groups where they had to use the route planner and map to find their way back to the campsite. Alongside this, they had to cook a two course meal on the Saturday night after their long and tiring hike using just a single burner between each tent. It was a fun and successful weekend for all involved. Huge thanks go to Mrs Sheridan, Mr Moore, Mrs Wing and Miss Brown for giving up their weekend to help them achieve the challenge.

Carnegie Lunch On Wednesday 14th July 2010 some Year 9 pupils from the Book Club took part in a Carnegie lunch. The pupils had several weeks to read as many of the eight books nominated for the Carnegie Award as possible. They then gathered together one lunch time and discussed the books; they decided which they thought was best over a lunch provided by the school. The book the pupils decided should be the winner of the Carnegie Medal 2010 was ‘Chains’ by Laurie Halse Anderson.

However the actual winner of the award turned out to be ‘The Graveyard Book’ by Neil Gainman. The event was well worth it and all that attended enjoyed the experience.

Maths Challenge

Well done to all who took part in this year’s Junior Maths Challenge. Particular congratulations to Adam Earl and Collette Motteram for achieving best in Year 8 and Connor Minter for best in Year 7. Also congratulations to Adam Earl, Collette Motteram, Ben Olive and Connor Minter for achieving a Gold award.

Colchester Sixth Form On Wednesday 14th July ten Year ten students took the day to travel to Colchester Sixth Form. They had the opportunity to pick three taster sessions of their choice so they could experience what a full working day is like at the college. They also had the chance to speak to tutors of the different subjects about what they would involve. It was an extremely valuable experience as it was a great learning curve for their future education.

School Council decisions The School Council have a budget of five thousand pounds to spend on facilities within the school. Following consultation with the pupil body from school council meetings and year council meetings, the School Council has decided to purchase some rugby equipment for the school. This will enhance the facilities available and allow our school to host rugby fixtures at the school in the future.

The students have also made the decision to purchase some sports equipment which can be used by clubs at lunchtime, which will in turn allow there to be more activities available to pupils.

Diving in the deep end On Wednesday 7th July the following students attended the Suffolk’s Schools’ Championships at Crown Pools. Hadleigh swim squad staff were at the poolside to help and encourage, however we were still very pleased to be joined

by Mr Tunaley who also helped in organising the event. With very tough competition from other schools impressively there were many Personal Bests achieved. These students included Sophie Demetriades, Robert Halls, Alistair Grant, Georgia Barton, Georgia Howard, Rebecca Mann, Ben Olive and Jake Howard.

Writing Master Class

Students from our feeder primary schools joined a few Year 7s to take part in a writing workshop last week. The workshop was run by two local authors, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, who generously gave up their time to inspire these budding writers. Students took part in a number of activities culminating in a longer piece of writing. It was a great experience enjoyed by all.

Spelling Bee All of Year 7 took part in a French spelling competition. We had a class competition for stage 1 for which students had to learn the meaning and spelling of 50 French words. In stage 2, we had an inter-form competition where the winners from each form competed after learning 100 words. Four winners were selected to enter the regional competition held at Cambridge. Three of them attended the evening and competed against winners from other schools. This time they had to learn 150 words and they had to be able to spell as many words as possible in one minute.

Unfortunately they didn’t win but it was a fantastic experience enjoyed by both students and parents.

Pupils let loose into the working world! Year 10 pupils have recently completed their two weeks’ Work Experience. Many of the employers were extremely impressed with the attitude and effort of all the Hadleigh High School pupils, so much that some have even been offered jobs and apprenticeships once they have finished school. They are now in the process of completing their Work Experience diaries and personal employment forms.

Year 8 combined arts

All of Year 8 enjoyed the Combined Arts week during enrichment fortnight, students chose to do drama, dance, art or music for the week.

This year’s theme was biodiversity. All their hard work resulted in a performance to parents at the end of the week. It was enjoyed by students and teachers alike.

Year 7 Camp Year 7 camp ran at Tangham Campsite in Rendlesham Forest during enrichment fortnight. All of the Year 7’s got to enjoy three days and two nights at the site where they took part in lots of different activities including: a visit to Sutton Hoo, an orienteering walk, a treasure hunt, fun and games at night and shelter building. As well as having a good time they improved their teamworking skills, got to interact with different people and had an amazing experience that we are sure they will remember.

Thank you to all the teachers who helped to make the camping trip possible.

Goodbye and Good luck! There will be many members of staff leaving this month and they will most definitely be sorely missed, so we wish them all good luck with their future endeavours with their new jobs!

Hadleigh Town mayor Jan Byrne with staff and volunteers from the Hadleigh shop.

St Elizabeth Hospice’s shop in Hadleigh has been officially opened after a revamp. The shop in Maiden Way was officially reopened on Friday 2nd July by Hadleigh Town Mayor, Councillor Jan Byrne. There has been a St Elizabeth Hospice shop in Hadleigh for the past 20 years. Mrs Byrne said “It was a great honour to open the shop after its refurbishment. The shop looks great and I am sure it will continue to be very successful in Hadleigh and well supported by the local community”.

Fiona Browning, retail sales manager at St Elizabeth Hospice, said “The refurbishment has made a big difference to the shop and we are really pleased with the final result. There was a queue of people waiting outside to see the new look and everyone has given us really positive comments.”

The Hospice currently has eleven shops throughout East Suffolk and a distribution centre in Ipswich which rely on the donations of goods to keep them stocked. The funds raised through the shops enable St Elizabeth Hospice to continue to make a real difference to the lives of patients and their families, friends and carers.

For more information about St Elizabeth Hospice’s shops, please call 01473 723600, email enquiries@stelizabethhospice.org.uk or visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk

Birkfield Computer Services “My machine is running very slowly. I am worried about the personal details stored on my computer. I am paying a lot of money for my antivirus program which seems to slow my system down - can I use a free one?

What happens to all my stored letters and pictures if my system crashes?”

These are some of the many questions we are regularly asked. We can help with all of the above but more importantly we can help you to help yourself. It is essential that you update your Windows program at least weekly. Microsoft provides security updates and we all need them!

Next the antivirus programs we use. You can use a free antivirus and a free anti-spy combination that work perfectly well for most of us. The AVG and the AntiMalware programs when run together offer all the protection we need. We have used them ourselves on all our systems for years with no problems at all. BUT they need to be updated and run at least weekly.

We can help you to speed up your system and keep it safe. There are many methods available and most people we help are surprised at just how fast their machine is when they get it back.

The next steps are in preventing data loss. This means backing up regularly – a crashed (or stolen!) hard drive with valuable data can be heart-breaking. It is possible to retrieve data from a damaged drive but it can be VERY expensive. If your system fails we may still be able to help.

We can usually repair desktops and laptops at reasonable prices and we can also provide second user replacements or upgrades which are all guaranteed. You may not need to go out and buy a new system if yours does not work. Call us first – our advice is free.

IT’S AUGUST BUT WE AREN’T ON HOLIDAY! The Ansell Community Centre (ACC) is a charity set up to provide events and activities for the people of Hadleigh and district and we will be continuing with both of our lunch clubs and the digital cinema throughout the month of August.

WEDNESDAY LUNCH CLUB Wednesday Lunch Club is our new lunch club. It is scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month and has replaced Ansell Snacks. If you would like to enjoy a reasonably priced meal (using local food whenever possible) and have a good chat, then why not join our friendly club?

NEXT WEDNESDAY LUNCH CLUB IS ON 18th AUGUST

AUSTRALIA (12A) £3, FRIDAY 27th August at 7.30 pm Our August Film Epic!

For film buffs who revel in a heady mix of romance, adventure and brilliant scenery then don’t miss our 165 minute film “Australia”.

Released in 2008 this film has become the second-highest grossing Australian film of all time.

Nicole Kidman plays Lady Sarah Ashley who arrives in Australia prior to 1939 to persuade her philandering husband to sell his cattle station. He arranges for her to meet Hugh Jackman who is a cattle drover and the film focuses on the challenge in running a 2,000 head cattle station – and the gamble to race the cattle across the outback to Darwin assisted only by a crew of children and drunks!

Australia was produced by Baz Luhrmann and the film crew were involved in capturing a remarkable miscellany of locations from Queensland to Darwin, a city whose tragic past is reconstructed in this film.

These locations are perfect for promoting the diversity and colour that makes “Australia” just that little bit special – and yet, at times there is always the darker side of this country – namely the scandal of the Stolen Generation of mixed race children seen in a recent film here at the Ansell Centre. So that is the subject of our film, one that has twists and turns to delight the audience – contemptuous tyrants, meddling cops and yet Nicole Kidman overcomes adversity but still manages to fall in love with her cattle drover!

The film will be shown on 27th August at 7.30pm and your film committee is planning to ensure that there is a more than adequate supply of refreshments for this 165 minute film. Cushions will be available! Admission, as always, is £3 for adults and £2 for accompanied children.

You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre

ANSELL LUNCHEON CLUB The Ansell Luncheon Club is well established and very popular. It takes place on the first Friday of the month and it costs £3 for a two course meal followed by tea or coffee. There is also a raffle and a short talk or other entertainment.

If you are interested in joining this club or would like more information, then please contact Sylvia on 829166.

NEXT ANSELL LUNCHEON CLUB IS ON 6TH AUGUST

HOLLYWOOD IN HADLEIGH (ANSELL DIGITAL CINEMA) Hollywood in Hadleigh will be celebrating its fifth birthday in February 2011.

We aim to show a good variety of films to suit all tastes. Our most popular have been “Mamma Mia” (176), “Last Chance Harvey” (153), “The Duchess” (132) and “The Painted Veil” (132). We have been awarded two lottery grants (Awards for All), one to buy chairs and the other to buy our own projector and screen. Admission is £3 on the door and £2 for accompanied children (when appropriate). Multitickets are also available which cost £12 for five films. If you have not been to your local “cinema” yet we hope we can tempt you with one of our current season’s films: 27th August – Australia (12A) 17th September – “The Last Station” (15) 8th October – An Archive Film Evening 22nd October – “The Boys are Back” (12A) 12th November – “An Education” (12A) Brochures giving more detailed information can be found at various outlets about town including the library.

Hadleigh Town Council Statement of intent as to Community Engagement Aims and Objectives Hadleigh Town Council is committed to high standards of engagement with its community. Our Council is part of a tier of local government which belongs to, is part of and is directly accountable to its local community.

Councillors play an important role as they are elected to make decisions on matters affecting our town. We aim to make a measurable difference to the quality of life of the community we serve and to be responsive to the needs of our community. This statement sets out how we ensure the community is kept informed about and can contribute to the activities and decision-making of this Council to the benefit of this town.

What is our Community? We believe our community is everyone within the boundaries of our town including all ages, any organisations, groups and individuals within it. We also recognise that residents pay for the activities of the Town Council and that visitors to our community form an important part of the vibrancy of community life. We understand that there are certain bodies that are crucial to local quality of life and we will strive to achieve excellent working relationships with these bodies including town organisations, the Police, neighbouring Councils and other tiers of local government.

Provision of Information to the Community This Council ensures that its main documents which reflect it decisions are published and readily available for the public to view. These documents include the agendas, minutes and annual reports of the Council which are: • Published on the Council’s web site www.onesuffolk.co.uk/HadleighTC • Published in the Hadleigh Community News every month • Available to view, by request and prior arrangement, in the 30 minutes before Council meetings The Council also summarises its activities and reports them the Hadleigh Community News on a regular basis.

You can view the Councils Freedom of Information Publication Scheme on the Councils web site www.onesuffolk.co.uk/HadleighTC Opportunities for involvement and representations to the Council Agendas for Committees and Full Council Meetings contain an invitation to the public and press to attend. Agendas give you an indication of the business to be transacted so that you can decide whether you want to attend or make your views known by some other means prior to the meeting. Meetings are the forum for business and decision-making and it is important that this business can be conducted with ample time for due consideration of issues before Councillors.

However, at Committee and Council meetings there is also an opportunity for the public to make representations in person prior to decisions being made. We welcome representations but inevitable have to apply a time limit and if you are concerned that there may be insufficient time to make your points known, you might wish to make representations in writing prior to the meeting.

We give representatives from the Police and other tiers of local government an opportunity to make reports to Full Council Meetings. This provides the public and Councillors with more information and an opportunity to ask questions on matters of interest to them.

The Council will also call and Annual Meeting of the Town on a day falling between 1 March and 1 June inclusive. This is your meeting and you will have an opportunity to hear from many community organisations and ask them questions.

It is also possible to raise matters of concern to the community.

Involvement in Partnerships The Council has representation on many bodies and attends meetings which make decisions affecting the local community.

Information obtained from these meetings is reported to Full Council Meetings.

Role of Councillors Councillors are the decision-makers of the Council. The contact details for all Councillors are available from the Clerk and you may also contact them through the web site www.onesuffolk.co.uk/HadleighTC or by letter. Councillors also hold the Clerk and other Officers of the Council to account. Councillors welcome contact with members of the public, endeavour to be available immediately prior to Council Meetings and Committees for anybody who wishes to speak with them and they will listen to the representations you make to them at Council and Committee Meetings whether you attend in person, ask another person to raise matters for you or provide your comments in writing. The contact details for the Clerk to the Council are published on agendas, the Town Council notice boards and in the Hadleigh Community News. The Clerk is the Proper Officer of the Council and is the appropriate contact in most cases for raising matters with or requesting information from the Council.

Please feel free to contact the Clerk for more information on anything in this Statement.

Specific Areas for Community Involvement In some circumstances, we also provide additional information sheets and/or provide additional public meetings in the event that exceptional issues arise which are of particular interest to the community. We envisage that these might include plans for significant planning development, exceptional spending plans and any emergency situations that arise.

Barnardo’s 2010 House to House Collection Thanks to Angel Street and Bell Mews Many thanks to everybody in Angel Street and Bell Mews, once again, for your donations to this year’s Barnardo’s House to House Collection.

You very generously donated a total of £136.13. Once again, I particularly wish to thank Millie and Harry Forbes, my godchildren, who gave up their very valuable time to help me. How great that they have been helping me for eight years now!

So a big thank you from everyone at Barnardo’s. Well done!

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Well what a treat some of you missed on the 24th June, when the Club visited Spencers, the home of the late R.A. Butler, at Great Yeldham. The weather was perfect, the provided lunch very good, the service excellent (wasn’t it Dave?!!) and the garden outstanding in every way. Added to that we all came away with an attractive pack containing family recipes.

I am sure we have all noticed what an amazing summer it is proving to be for roses and the roses at Spencers were truely exceptional climbers, ramblers, hybrid-teas, florabundas, all a really astonishing display, not to mention the other beauties including delphiniums named for R.A.B. The planting of the walled garden in which all these lovelies resided was so different to most such gardens, with everything from a mini wild flower area, pleached trees and immaculate rows of cutting flowers interspersed with vegetables. Needless to say the rest of the estate was delightful parkland, woodland walks, meadows and stream.

A thoroughly great day out, thank you Carole for arranging this to coincide with the marvellous weather. Sadly the estate is on the market, so who knows what will happen in the future.

The next event on the Club calendar is a visit to R.S.H. Garden at Wisley on 29th July and the next proper meeting is an extra, popped in, in lieu of the cancelled winter meeting (cancelled because of snow) this will be held in the usual room at the usual time on 9th August. It will be a showing of a specialist film on growing orchids hosted by members Phillip and Christine Streeting, who will be on hand to answer any questions arising.

This is followed on 13th September, again at U.R.C. Community Room at 7.30pm. the subject is “Apple Varieties” by Andrew Tann. Ruth Allen 822323.

Hadleigh and District Flower Club At the July meeting Mrs Lisa Howarth from Sandy in Bedfordshire gave a floral demonstration “Summer Holidays”. Lisa owns a busy florist shop employing 5 full time and 7 part-time staff, as well as travelling around the U.K. giving flower demonstrations.

Lisa had wonderful flowers, some from a local grower and some imported. Her six arrangements took us from a welcoming handtied, an arrangement incorporating a parasole representing a cocktail, a hat, an icecream sundae, a picnic basket and a garden lamp with beautiful white roses, calla lilies and gerbera. The club’s charity fund raising event this year was an afternoon tea and flower demonstration in Whatfield Village Hall on Tuesday 27th April, £880 was raised for Somersham Ward at Ipswich Hospital. Mrs Eileen Sharman, the secretary of the support group attended the July meeting and received the cheque from chairman Mrs Norma Bolton.

Hadleigh Gardens Open Gardens Sunday August 1st , Rosedale Bures Sunday August 15, Woodwards Coddenham Personal Thoughts At the moment I am thinking about "invasive" plants, that is plants that wander away from where they are without the gardener doing anything. These may be desirable plants like mint, and Lysimachia punctata or weeds. The desirable plants can be controlled by confining them within containers which may be sunk into the ground. A weed is simply a plant in the wrong place, and the plants that are causing me problems are valuable plants that because of their invasive properties are now in the wrong place. A few years ago when I extended my garden by buying a piece of field adjacent to my garden. One of the planning conditions for the change of use was that the new boundary was planted with a hedge of British native hedge species. This I did using 25% hawthorn, 25% blackthorn, with the other 50% made up from 8 other British hedge species. There is now an excellent boundary hedge, but what I did not realise when I planted it was that 2 out of the 10 species are distinctly invasive. Both Blackthorn and Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) send out underground roots from which suckers arise up to 15-20 feet from the hedge. On my side of the hedge is rough grassland with dwarf fruit trees planted in circles cleared in the grass. Where the suckers come up in the grass they are not too much trouble because they get mowed with the grass, but the circles were neglected when I broke my hip 18 months ago, and when I started work to clear the weeds it was difficult to see the fruit trees for the blackthorn and sea buckthorn. To have any hope of getting things back under control one needs to get out as much root as possible without damaging the fruit tree roots. The sea buckthorn roots are quite near the surface, but the blackthorn roots are rather deep, and it is going to need a few more hours of toil before thing look satisfactory. It is interesting what has happened on the other side of the hedge where there is a public footpath. The farmer has fenced off the footpath, and now his fence is disappearing into a blackthorn hedge. It looks beautiful in flower in the Spring.

Weather Records In June we had 29.8 mm (1.2") of rain. This is better than last month but still only about 60% of the average monthly rainfall. We have now had 4 rather dry months and the rolling 3 month figure is 62.3 mm (2.5") which is little more than 1 months average rainfall. My garden was extremely dry, but happily we have now had some rain. At Kersey rain only fell on 6 days in June, and 21 mm out of the 29.8 mm fell between the 5th & 7th of June. In mid July the ground temperature is 17 Cel (63F) which is typical for this month.

The maximum temperature in June was 29.5 Cel (85F) and the minimum was 7 Cel (45F). These are quite typical maximum and minimum temperatures for June.

Hints Try and visit some other gardens. I managed to get to an Open Gardens event at Elmswell near Bury St Edmunds, and what impressed me was the way in which people are starting to adapt to dryer Summers.

There were several with the usual grass replaced with gravel and stepping stones, often with an interesting use of large pots. There were also several with Beth Chatto style dry gardens that were really thriving. When you see something that you like, try and think why you like it, and whether the same idea would work in your garden.

Dead head flowering plants. This not only keeps them looking good, but it encourages them to produce more flowers. If you like large blooms it is worth pinching out some of the side buds on dahlias, and on varieties of hybrid tea roses that tend to produce bunches of smaller flowers rather than nice big ones at the end of the season. Hedges have been growing and most will need a trim in August.

I hope that the Summer weather continues, but we also get a worthwhile amount of rain too many plants in my garden are really suffering.

She is at peace, no longer in pain and suffering. We send our loving thoughts to all her family and friends.

We, the healers are there to listen and share your problems. We cannot always provide the answers to every problem.

A problem shared is a problem halved. If you need help please contact us and phone for an appointment on 01473 823282 or via the internet on www.hadleighhealingsociety.org. All in the strictest confidence.

With grateful thanks to the Management and Staff at The Hadleigh Health Centre, a small group of Volunteers held a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cuppa and a Cakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day at the Health Centre on Thursday 17th June and their efforts raised a total of 3304.65 to go toward the national fund. Sincere thanks are expressed to the many people that made and gave a wonderful selection of cakes of various colours, designs and flavours, to the Manager and Staff at the Centre for allowing the use of the premises and for their help throughout the day and of course the public for their generous support. As a result, the money raised will help in the continuous research and development of this condition, to the benefit of the public at large. Thank you so much.

Poets Corner The Ace Within Never give up hope, so that hope does not give up on you.

Keep your faith and your strength of character will see you through.

Life is a set of challengers, some undeniably hard.

Realise that deep within yourself, you hold the ace, the highest card.

Believing that anything is possible, is the key.

To transforming your existence, to what you dream it can be.

Take a step out of your comfort zone, live your life to the full.

If you persist and try hard enough, you can have it all.

Congratulations In a recent national production by the English Youth Ballet of Sleeping Beauty, at the Theatre Royal Norwich, these 2 competent dancers from Hadleigh auditioned successfully and were chosen from some 200 applicants to take part. Their dancing skills were really put to the test with long rehearsal sessions at Norwich, but the end product was so worthwhile. Pretty and talented Isobel Double in the Junior section and lovely Bethany Seager in the Principals section really excelled, looked amazing in their costumes, with beautiful smiles and dancing that was of an unbelieveably high standard. Congratulations are due to them both for such a wonderful achievement in their dancing careers.

Dear Sir Last month we received two telephone calls to our shop from Tesco, concerning their new store in Martlesham. They were offering us a chance to advertise within the store and said they were contacting local businesses with this offer. As I have no wish to appear to be supporting Tesco and, by association, their plans to invade Hadleigh, I declined their kind offer. Could this be an example of Tesco attempting to make it appear that small shops in Hadleigh are on their side?

It is with great interest that we have noticed the repairs underway on the new paved road in Magdalen Street. Was this new surface not supposed to be durable, impregnable, comfortable on the feet and in all ways an improvement on the old surface? What a shame that after all the upheavals and consequent loss of business which occurred last summer, the roadway is already needing repair.

I write to ask if the people of Hadleigh could be more considerate to parents with pushchairs in the towns car parks. I have lost count of the number of times I am unable to park in space dedicated to people with buggys, only to see the people parking in them do not even have children!

The spaces are allocated so that doors can be fully opened to get small children from the car into their pram or pushchair. Normal spaces are not wide enough to allow this, and neighbouring cars are at risk of being accidentally scratched or scuffed.

Andrea Davis

Dear Sir I would like to thank the following for the generous support given to me and the Armed Forces charity Help for Heroes recently. St. Mary’s Church for a very generous three figure cheque which amounted to 50% of the proceeds from their excellent Art Exhibition, (the other 50% went to another worthy cause). Hadleigh Cricket Club for the offer of space for a stall to sell HforH goods at their annual fete. Hadleigh Rugby Club similarly on two days at their annual beer festival and their encouragement. To all of the above I am extremely grateful both for their generosity and their hospitality and to know that the “I’m alright Jack” attitude is not on their agenda.

Fred Breyer

Dear Sir I am a Londoner. I came to live and retire in Dovercourt nearly 3 years ago. One of the main topics in the media in these parts is Tesco.

Manningtree have said no to them and it may be that there will be some sort of fight over them in Dovercourt as it is rumoured that they have bought a site here. I like Tesco and when I can't get something locally I go to Tesco in Clacton. For what it's worth, my opinion is that Tesco in Hadleigh will have the effect of closing most, if not all of the High Street shops. This will spoil the character of a very fine and quite unique town, with very little gain. I think that Tesco supporters may not be thinking about the full effects on Hadleigh. It will be changed forever and, I believe, not for better.

News from Beaumont Community Primary School As we near the end of the school year, it is time for us to say goodbye to our Year 6 pupils, who are moving on to new schools.

They have worked hard and we wish them lots of luck for the future!

Everybody was entertained by their talented displays and happy memories during the Leavers’ assembly.

The children from Key Stage 2 have performed ‘A Big Green Adventure’, a play based on environmental themes. Learning all the lines and songs has been hard work but great fun! Also, we have learned a lot about how to care for the planet. Thank you to all the children for their effort and to all the adults who helped with props, costumes and scenery.

The children in the Penguins class have been learning about countries around the world. Recently, they have enjoyed theme days on France, India and China. They have used atlases and learned about languages, animals, food and festivals. The Penguins class joined the Squirrels class for a trip to Colchester Zoo. The children had a lovely time learning about animals from all around the world.

The Owls class have been for a walk along the river at Snape Maltings. They learned a lot about the landscape and they enjoyed looking at the art in the gallery.

Also, they went along the coast to Dunwich where they learned about coastal erosion and the famous city lost to the sea.

Children from the upper years participated in the annual Athletics Tournament at Hadleigh High School. They were great sports and encouraged one another really well.

After a tremendous effort, Beaumont’s children came first and won this year’s trophy! Well done to all the children!

The children have continued to take care of the school’s allotment, growing rhubarb, onions, runner beans, cabbages and many other vegetables. They are learning a great deal about healthy food and gardening skills. Thanks to the parents who have helped with gardening club.

Special thanks go to Mrs Liggett as she has done so much to make the allotment a success.

HADLEIGH HEALTH CENTRE

CAR PARKING Dear Patient / Visitor We are very aware that some patients find parking at the Health Centre an increasing problem. Victims of our own success we know we need to make changes as more and more services are on offer.

From 1 August 2010 we propose to trial a new parking system for the doctors, visiting clinicians and all staff of the Health Centre.

This will result in the vast majority of staff parking off site in order to allow you to park easier. This is our commitment to you but we need your help and support to help make it work.

Healthy to walk: If you can walk to see us please do so. If you cannot take the healthier option and walk then may I ask you to please observe some basic parking rules? If we all consider others at all times and do not abuse the parking then we hopefully will see a great improvement?

I would ask you to please: • Only park in a proper space and park neatly to not take up two spaces.

• Do not park on yellow lines. They are there for a reason. For example to allow access for an Ambulance on a 999 call or for the large number of delivery vans and lorries (some large) we have every day. Damage to patient vehicles parked in this way frequently occurs.

• Do not park on the path or gardens. Although obvious it often happens. This limits access for less mobile patients, damages drains and can be dangerous.

• Do not block the entrance. We understand some patients find it difficult to walk far but please come further into the car park and ask your carer to call in for a wheelchair or ask at Reception for assistance. They will be pleased to help.

• Do not park in the bays designated for the disabled unless you have an official card.

• Do not park in the doctors or staff car park. They often need to get in and out throughout the day to see patients.

Most importantly of all is: • Do not leave you vehicle in the car park to go shopping, do the banking, walk the dog or anything other than your visit to the Health Centre. We strongly request you remove your vehicle immediately you leave the building. You cannot park early and go shopping first either! Please think of others.

• If you cannot park is it because others are not keeping to these simple but important rules?

• Please do not copy the thoughtless behaviour of others as it will just make matters worse.

Your comments: I am always keen to hear your comments and suggestions. I welcome the opportunity to explain why the Health Centre is operated in the way it is. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this or any other service please do not hesitate to ask for me or our Assistant Manager, Tracey Squirrell.

Like all our staff we will be delighted to listen to you and help in any way we can.

Thank you for you understanding and support.

Beer and Music Festival an Outstanding Success Rugby Club to make it an annual event The sun brought out the crowds again this year at the Hadleigh Rugby Club Beer and Music Festival held at Layham Road Sports ground on the week-end of July 2nd 3rd and 4th. There were 22 different beers on sale with an additional 6 barrels of original cider and there was an excellent spread of different live music over the three days which all added to an extremely successful event. Organiser Jim Hammond said” We couldn’t have asked for a better week-end. The weather and the bands were great and of course there was good beer flowing”. The club committee are so pleased with the way in which everyone in the town supported the event (which seems to have got bigger since last year,) that they would like to make this a special annual event for the town. The crowds were entertained by young up and coming local group, “Underline the Sky” who entertained an open air crowd for much of Friday evening. Saturday was the main day where again 3 local bands provided the entertainment including Mister Mike and Dave, “Up all Night” and Skapamaster.

Large crowds sat on the embankments enjoying the al fresco food and entertainment until late into the night. What a wonderful week-end was had by all!

Hadleigh RFC now look forward to the short break until August when there will be a Summer Youth and Mini Rugby Training Camp held at the club. Three South African coaches will be in attendance offering coaching and training to children from 11 to 16 each day from 9.00am until 3.30pm from 9th -13th August.

On the evening of Friday 13th August the club are staging a special Help for Heroes charity rugby match to raise funds for this excellent cause. A team comprising of local military services will be playing against a mixed team of Suffolk vets. There is a barbecue and bar and kick off is at 6.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the spectacle.

Hadleigh RFC Training and Recruitment.

Club coach Adam Miles has started training at the club which takes place each Thursday from 7.30pm until 9pm. If you are interested in joining as a player then please come along.

The Big Clean Up On Sunday 4th July myself and a group of volunteers from within the Community arranged a BIG CLEAN UP at the park and field next to the Beaumont Primary School. We started at 2pm and finished at 4pm. During the 2 hours we had picked up a black bin liner half full of broken glass mainly beer bottles that were in the park and just outside of the park. We found aerosol cans, parts of lighters, burnt newspapers, and lots of rubbish that were also found in the park. A lot of rubbish could be stopped if the park/field had litter bins. Outside of the park within the field there was alot of rubbish flying around, and on the hills behind the houses there are pipes showing through the ground, iron rods were found sticking out and also an aerosol can that had been pierced , all these items were found by one of our 10 year old helpers with her mum.

A big Concern is the fact that the teenagers are drinking within this area and are leaving the bottles, (after the bottles have been smashed in the park) and the younger children could quite easily have an accident, also cigarette ends were in the park. The play equipment is also an issue it has been damaged and has very unpleasant graffitti on it. some of the equipment has broken bits and should be blocked of so the children cannot play with it until it has been mended. I would like to thank everyone who turned up at the BIG CLEAN UP on Sunday 4th July, everyone worked so hard for the safety of others.

Could we ask that anyone who visits the park and field next to the beaumont primary school please help us to keep it clean and if you see anything that may cause any health and safety issues could you please report it asap.

Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club -Celebrating 25 years of Road Running, Athletics, Cycling and TriathlonJUNIOR HARES Many congratulations to our junior hare Alana Bleasby who took part in the Capel 1 fun run on Sunday 13th June. Alana 9, ran an impressive race coming 28th out of 61 runners, 10th overall in the under 8s. Congratulations also to Tye Kitchen who was our representative in the Bury 1 fun run on June 26th – Tye came 21st out of 93 runners, 11th overall in her age category the under 11s – well done to you both.

TRIATHLON – IRONMAN FRANCE After 12 months of exhausting training, numerous injuries and severely strained relationships, Hadleigh Hares Marianne Aitken, Steve Bowen, Martin Alabone, Richard Hanley and Doug Grimwade flew out to Nice, France to take on the mighty Ironman France on Sunday 27th June 2010. The race comprised of a terrifying 2.4 mile sea swim, a challenging 112 mile bike leg up into the mountains and a grueling 26.2 mile seafront run leg. The swim leg kept many a wannabee Ironman awake since it was a mass swim start of the 2500+ competitors - all trying to get into the sea at the same time from the beach and start swimming without being drowned.

What is it like to race in Ironman? Well….. Its 4:00am. After a fitful restless night, you 'awaken' just before your alarm was set to go off, but you haven't really slept thanks to pre-race nerves.

You try to eat breakfast knowing you will need the energy later in the day but nothing wants to go down.

You grab your 'special needs' bags and swim gear and head out into the early morning light to meet the other nervous Hares. The day is already warm, the sun is rising in a clear sky and you realise that it’s going to be a scorcher - 30 degrees plus. You all meet and quietly make your way to the start, each lost in your own world of fear and excitement - 12 months training has led to this moment.

Its 6:30 am. You are in a huge crowd of 2500 competitors on the beach ready for the start. You are terrified and wait at the back hoping to enter the water late to avoid drowning. Suddenly you realise the race has started. Bodies stream into the water and you edge ever closer. You are in - it’s a washing machine - all you can see are bodies thrashing all around you. You can't swim properly - too many slow people ahead - fists and legs everywhere. You forget about a fast time and just try and settle into your swim. Gradually you get a little clear water and your stroke comes back. It’s still a fight - particularly turning round the buoys but you are back in control. You know you can survive the 2.4 mile swim.

Its 7:45am. You stagger out the water. Volunteers grab you before you fall and you are running up the slope through the showers to transition. You undo your wetsuit and rip it down to your waist as you try to find your numbered transition bag hanging amongst 2500 others. You’re in the transition tent and you tear your swim gear off, dry yourself and try to get your mind ready for the 112 mile ride. You take your time getting prepared - sun cream will be critical today as is food and drink. You run out of the transition tent grab your bike and begin the long ride.

Its 8:30am. You are hot, very hot. It’s still early but it’s going to be at least 30 degrees today. You are halfway up the first steep climb, others are already walking and you realise that you are going to have to take it a little easier to survive the rest of the day. You have had a gel, plenty to drink and a salt tablet and are looking forward to the croissant in your special needs bag at 70km. You hit the 21km climb and start to struggle - its grueling - how can you run a marathon after this? The sun is burning your back, your speed is dropping and up in the distance you can see the summit shimmering. You think back to the hours turbo training through the winter with the heat turned right up, count your pedal strokes and try not to let your speed drop. You are over the summit and several miles of glorious downhill waits before the next climb. You're at 70km and pick up your special needs bag. Your croissant is horribly hot and squashed but you force yourself to eat before continuing - you know you have to keep your energy levels up to survive.

Its 12:30pm. You are over halfway through the ride, the worst of the climbs are over but the sun is beating down. You are sick of gels, salt tablets and the sweet cloying taste of the race drink. The views are fantastic and take your mind of your tiring muscles. You try not to think about the marathon.

it. You use these to play games to keep you going. As the miles unroll you see the same names again and again. Drafting is not allowed but occasionally you fall into small groups on hills and briefly discuss the pain and joy of the event. Every 10km of the 180km ride there is a marker showing how far left to ride. You've had enough with 30km to go - the sun is too hot, there is a strong head wind, you could happily stop. But you tell yourself it’s only the distance of a short training ride to go. You plod on and new energy surges through your body when you reach the seafront with 5km to go.

Its 3:30pm. You cycle past those already running along the seafront and you finish the ride, dump your bike, pick up your second transition bag and go to the tent to ready yourself for the run. You pause to get your head together. You've done the swim and bike - 8 or 9 hours solid exercise so far - just a marathon to go. Okay its hot - 32 degrees you hear, and there is no shade on the seafront but come on, you are nearly there - who said it would be easy. Nothing worth doing is easy. You change, apply more sun cream, a sun hat and set off out of transition to run up and down the sea front 8 times. It is grueling, way too hot for a run but you tell yourself that you can plod through a couple of laps at least. Your pace drops and you settle into a slow shuffle. There are aid stations every mile and you decide to run between them and walk through them. A treat - the aid stations have a shower. You find that running slowly through them gets your core temperature down enough to run to the next aid station. You plod on and a pattern evolves - run to station, cool off in shower, drink water, drink coke, eat banana, eat orange, and force yourself to start running again. You complete one lap, then two, you are halfway, and you know you are going to make it, but can you keep running or will you have to walk?

Its 7:00pm. You are at the 20 mile mark of the marathon. Competitors are walking, staggering, fainting, screaming in agony from cramp, but still you plod on. You're spirits rise each time you cross the other Hares running in the opposite direction. You high-5 and hug and encourage each other to finish. If they can do it, you can do it. You set off for your last 6.5 mile run up and back along the sea front. You are determined to run all the way now and finish in style.

Its 8:00pm. The finish is in sight. From somewhere you find enough energy to pick up the pace very slightly and with a spring in your step you approach final 100m. The crowd in the finish funnel roars, the commentator announces your name, your heart pounds, you feel dizzy, your legs buckle and you cry with joy and relief. You finish, you have survived, and you are an Ironman.

Completing an Ironman is a major achievement. Well done to the Hadleigh Hares that took part in Ironman France this year.

CLUB 5K Well done to all those who turned out to support the annual club 5k race on 15th July. Despite a very warm evening 14 Hares, represented from all club nights, ran the undulating course, with a few tricky gradients thrown in for good measure! Thank you to Lorraine, Trudy & Amanda for timekeeping & water duties! Well done to Anya, Rachel, Mark & David who ran their first Club 5k & to all the runners who posted good times, in particular Corinna Hussey who was elated to see a 3 minute improvement from 2009! A water fight ensued at the finish line followed by well deserved beer & chips at the pub. Hopefully we will see ALL of you next year!

Race for Life 2010 Imagine a sea of pink! Pink tee shirts, pink Stetsons, pink wigs, pink safety helmets, pink fairy wings – you get the picture! Then take a look at the labels pinned to everyone’s back, some printed with photographs, some bearing a whole list of names of loved ones lost to or suffering from cancer and you begin to understand why all these women and children, babies in prams and a couple of dogs! are dressed in these crazy costumes and why the atmosphere is electric with emotion.

Our flurry of fairies felt hugely privileged to be part of this great Race for Life at Trinity Park, raising funds for Cancer Research and we will be sending a cheque to the charity. We had fun too, and so enjoyed the music, the fantastic warm up exercises, the samba band and most of all, seeing all the friendly faces from St. Mary’s who came to cheer us on. We are so grateful to you and our friends and families for all your support!

Double success for local athletes Hadleigh junior athlete Louis Breyer notched up his fifth success of the season over the one mile distance, winning the Boys Under 12 category at last friday’s Great Bentley Running Club Junior Mile event. Competing against runners from a number of Suffolk and Essex clubs, Breyer maintained his position in the leading pack throughout the race, and conserved enough energy in the searing heat to mount an uncatchable sprint finish. Younger brother Solomon Breyer completed a family double, finishing second in the Boys Under 8 category.

Hadleigh United’s new under 12’s sign on

Pictured are some of Hadleigh United’s new under 12’s as they sign on for 2010/11 season with from left – right Ian Kemp, Gavin Peters and David Shiress. The under 12’s boys signing on day took place on Tuesday 13th July. Next season sees a first when the under 12’s will be running two sides with approximately 30 boys between the two teams.

As mentioned last month we welcome David Shiress who will be managing the Hadleigh Brettsiders. The boys have developed over the last four years and with so many boys committed and determined to play it was decided the only way forward was to run two teams. Many thanks to all the people willing to make this possible for all the boys concerned.

We look forward to everyone’s continued support and Roll on Next Season.

20 over Ipswich & District Semi Final 2010 Having finished runners up in pool A, Hadleigh U13 Sharks travelled to neighbours East Bergholt who topped pool B to decide who would progress into the final. Captain Dominic Manthorpe lost the toss with his county colleague, East Bergholts captain, George Foster who invited Hadleigh to bat first. Fosters decision looked to be a good one with Arran Tampion playing up from the U11's bowled second ball and Sam Chapman first ball to the pace of Mcrath and with the score on 2 for 2 after 3 balls Hadleigh were creaking. Ben Olive joined Manthorpe at the crease and the pair started to rebuild the innings.

Manthorpe was quick to punish anything short and drove well whilst Olive hit the ball hard, both reaching 32 and putting on a partnership of 70, before mandatory retirement. This brought two more U11 players, playing up in the U13's to the crease, Philipp Carlstroem and Callum Morrin who worked the ball around well, Carlstroem was beaten by Mcrath's pace which brought Tommy Newbigging to face the last two overs , Newbigging smashed three fours to enable Hadleigh to post a very competitive total of 115 for the loss of 3 wickets.

East Bergholt’s reply was soon in trouble with Morrin taking a stunning catch to remove Alfie Foster followed quickly by Ross Taylor who was caught behind and with 3 more wickets taken at the 10 over stage the game was clearly in Hadleigh's favour, Reece Crisp and Daniel Thornton bowling very well supported by Newbigging and Harry Forbes. Mcrath came into bat and in a very short stay in the middle he took the game away from Hadleigh smashing Cameron Hatthaway for a 6 and punishing the other bowlers when they strayed off line and too short. The hosts reached 116 in the 19th over in a thrilling match and now progress to the final where they will play either Woolpit or Ipswich.

Coach Simon Manthorpe and Manager Andy Forbes were very pleased with the sides performances in the competition this year and wished East Bergholt all the best in the final.

Whatfield Carpet Bowls Club We have just completed our club competition to find our champions for 2010. Our singles champion is Don Ellis who beat Roy Holloway in a well fought final, and our team champions are team "D" consisting John Stevenson, Margaret Clarke, Grace Smith and Beryl Newbery. Well done to you all. Our appreciation is given to Don Ellis for organising this for the club. All of our members are very pleased that Grace, Peter, and Horry have returned to "match" fitness, however we all wish Colin well and want him to know that he is being missed, get well soon Colin.

Could this be your ball game? Carpet Bowls is a game for both men and women of all ages, several of our players are husband and wife. We meet Tuesdays for home matches and club nights, although some away matches in surrounding villages may be on other evenings. The club meets at Whatfield village hall at 7.30 p.m. Anyone interested in joining, or if you would just like to come along and give Carpet Bowls a try then please contact Roy on 01473 823169. who will be pleased to provide further information. No experience is necessary as instruction will be given. All equipment necessary to play Carpet Bowls is owned by the Club, therefore very little outlay is needed should you wish to join. We can supply transport for anyone who may find this to be difficult, please do come along and make this your ball game too!.

At a recent club evening we welcomed Keith Doige, a member of St. Johns Ambulance who gave us all a short talk on what should be our first responses if someone is taken ill while at a club meeting. Thank you Keith for a most interesting and informative talk and for passing on to us a number of first aid manuals.

After a committee meeting held in June the club were very pleased that Ken Newbery has accepted the appointment of vice chairman, thank you Ken for filling this vacancy.

Hadleigh Cricket Club's Bicentenary celebrations had the perfect start when former England Test captain Nasser Hussain paid a visit to the club for a coaching clinic. Filmed as part of Sky Sports' Club Life series, in which Hadleigh are featuring this season, the event saw Hussain pass on his expertise and experience to the club's senior and junior players.

It was a very special day for the club, particularly as the identity of the coach remained a closely guarded secret. Hussain made a superb impression, spending a considerable amount of one-to-one tuition with members of the 1st XI and the junior section, doing a Q and A and signing autographs.

Club secretary Gary Wiles commented: 'To have someone of the stature of Nasser Hussain at Hadleigh CC was a fantastic experience for everyone connected with the club. It will certainly be one of the highlights of our bicentenary season.' The club's bicentenary cricket week included matches against the MCC and Suffolk Past Masters, followed by a celebration dinner at Great Wenham with over 200 guests.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd. www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United began their pre-season friendlies at home to Chelmsford City. It was Stuart Crawford’s first match as manager and he had plenty of new signings on view. The outcome was a 4-1 win for Hadleigh on a very hot afternoon. Blair Hammond and Warren Taylor-Holt scored in the first half with Craig Payne and Ben Deacon on target in the second period.

Chelmsford scored late on. Next up was another home match, this time against a team from Ipswich Town. A spectacular shot from Chris Dennett put Hadleigh ahead in the first half. It was a great goal, which even had Roy Keane joining in the applause. The Tractor Boys equalised before half time and then added another couple in the second half for an Ipswich Town win by three goals to one. A crowd of four hundred and fifty enjoyed the match on a hot day. Hadleigh’s new manager Stuart Crawford is confident that he has put together a strong side for the coming season.

Hadleigh Reserves will again be managed by Adam Waspe although his assistant Jim Walker has departed.

Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were Peter Vardon, Bob Talbot and Gary Hayward.

Hadleigh Table Tennis Club During last season,2009/10, Hadleigh fielded three teams in the Ipswich and District League. We had two teams in Division 1, hadleigh "A" and Hadleigh "Condors", both competing well in a good standard of table tennis. Regretfully after five consecutive seasons in this Division, a slighty weakened "A" team were unlucky to be relegated but will no doubt be keen to gain promotion from Division 2 next season.

The "Condors" side, made up from mainly younger players who started in the lowest Division 5 years ago, made a very promising start and will compete in Division 1 again in season 2010/11.

Meanwhile the "Owls" had a good season in Division 3 finishing fourth from 13 teams narrowly missing promotion to Division 2. new players Peter Witton and Dale Kelleher both made promising debuts and were backed up by valuable contributions from Veterans Rupert Pyett and Ken Rodwell. Unfortunately Dale will not be available next season due to a posting to Moray,Scotland.

The Club is always interested in acquiring new players and anyone in the Hadleigh District interested in playing in competitive League play please contact the Club Secretary, Ken Rodwell, on 01473-823895 or E-Mail rosamar@talktalk.net <mailto:rosamar@talktalk.net> . The new season is likely to commence on week beginning 13th September 2010.

Hadleigh Chicago Bridge Club If you are free Tuesday afternoons, and like to play Bridge in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, why not come and join us for our new season which starts on Tuesday 21st September 2010 and continues weekly until Tuesday 26th April 2011. The club meets at 2.15 pm in the Seminar Room above Hadleigh Library. The Club has about twenty five members, and we would welcome newcomers. You do not need to bring a partner.

If you would like any further information, please ring Colin Crawford on 01473 829670.

Hadleigh United FC Under 7’s (under 8’s 2010/11 season)

A very big welcome to Hadleigh United Under 7’s. The boys have been training enthusiastically over the past couple of months and will start the season in September in the South Suffolk Youth league.

They were pleased to be invited to be mascots for the Hadleigh United v Ipswich Town game on Sat 10th July. This was the first time the boys had worn their brand new kit and they all looked very smart and thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon. Thanks go to Autoglass, M.W.Partridge, Tim Allen and Daniel Oakes for their financial support. We entered 2 teams in the AFC Sudbury summer tournament which gave the boys chance to play their first matches and put into practice what they had been learning on the training field – big thanks to Phil for the goalkeeper coaching! Well done to all the boys, it was a brilliant day and they put in some excellence performances over the course of the day and should be really proud of themselves. On Friday 6th August at 7.30 there will be a family fun night, held at Hadleigh Utd Clubhouse, to raise funds for the team. The night will be hosted by a professional Entertainer, and there will be a cabaret, bingo, quiz, children’s entertainment and a disco – a night not to be missed!!! If you would like to come along contact 07795150151 or 07776147448 for tickets. Alternatively you can pay on the door on the night. All welcome.

Hadleigh Bowling Club

We have again had a very welcome influx of, enthusiastic, new and experienced bowlers and our current playing membership is approaching one hundred. In the County competitions two of our newer bowlers, Peter Vanstone and Roger Sparkes, have reached the Semi-final of the Novices Cup, our ladies have reached the quarter finals of the Hadleigh Challenge Cup and our men the third round of the Millenium Cup. Our own Walter Wright competition was played at the end of June, won by Cliff Moreland, Pater Vanstone and Mike Woodman, and was followed by a Strawberry Tea, laid on by Peter Miller, our hard working Social Secretary. This will be our last season at Magdalen road. Rapid progress is being made on our new facility in Stone Street, as you can see from the attached photograph. We hope to take possession in the autumn and to be able to play on the new green by the end of May.
