Rosa Simon - A Thank You To thank everyone individually who has offered us their love, support and prayers on the death of our beloved daughter Rosa would take up this entire issue of the HCN! Whilst we hope over the next few months to have the chance to thank all personally, please accept this big, broad 'thank you' to each and everyone of you. We could not have survived this far without the great community of Hadleigh being with us. The turnout before, during and after Rosa's funeral - especially the numbers of people following the cortege on foot and the respectful actions of Hadleigh's tradespeople - was quite the most extraordinary outpouring of love we have ever experienced. Especial thanks are due to Roy and Gill of R Gwinnell & Sons, whose utter love, kindness and professionalism made our terrible situation so much more bearable. Heartfelt thanks also to Philip Ainger and Hadleigh Town Council in their sensitivity in helping us decide upon the final resting place for Rosa. And our eternal gratitude to the Revd. David Atkins, Nigel Crisp and all our church family who ensured that everything about Rosa's funeral spoke eloquently of our little girl's inspirational character and life.

The Rosa Simon Music Fund aims to buy new instruments for the schools, playgroups, churches and registered child minders in the town, reflecting Rosa's love of music and dancing. Any cheques are payable to the Hadleigh United Reformed Church.

Whatever biologists, sociologists, physicists and philosophers might say, the universe is founded on love and we human beings are only truly human - leave alone divine - if our lives are also founded on love.

An amazing £7,000 was raised in memory and tribute to Anneka Curtis and Kerrie Dilloway at a Charity Family Fun Day Event held at the Hadleigh United Football Club on 5 July

Up at the O2 Hello my readers from far and wide. I do try to take you to some exciting places and this month is no exception. Many of you have told me how much you miss hearing about the exploits of Frank and Maria. Some of my readers took things at face value and therefore Frank and Maria have been rather shy in recent months.

After the shooting at Christmas, Frank and Maria are now much better and so Frank took the wheel for a journey to the O2 in London. This building has evolved from being a white elephant built for the Millenium to one of the leading popular concert venues. On one of the hottest days of the year, we arrived at the O2 in air-conditioned splendour. We were ushered to the Base Camp where our guide who was a pleasant young cherub took us through some training. I hit upon some trouble since one had to empty pockets and I did not wish to be parted from my wallet. We had to wear an O2 jacket and harness. We walked up a fairly steep and bouncy walkway carrying our safety latches and eventually reached the viewing platform centrally placed on the roof. The picture shows me with my friends Chris Dovey and Deano Ackers.

So, if you find yourself in London why not give it a go!

Frank loves to make sure that the kitchen gardens are all ship shape at this time of year. He has particularly been nurturing his plums.

Maria will be heart broken if they drop off.

And so back at my office in the High Street, we go to great lengths to seek to satisfy the expectations of our clients. Those buying property though must remember that invariably we act for the bank lending money to facilitate the purchase as well as the client who is buying. We have to confirm to the bank that the property conforms in all respects to a code of requirements laid out in The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook. We are usually able to balance the needs of buyer and lender. The Lasting Power of Attorney is straightforward in many ways but complicated in others. The Power involves four parties, those granting, those being appointed, a certificate provider and those upon whom notice is served. The final document requires to be registered at the Office of the Public Guardian. It is a document that must be entered before a client loses mental capacity but will of itself outlive mental incapacity and enable others to run the affairs of the client. Why not instruct us to prepare your Lasting Power of Attorney.

A gentleman attending a local Bonhams valuation day had a pleasant surprise last month. The group of dusty pictures which he brought along had been cleared from a deceased relative’s attic, these were entirely unremarkable until the last picture was inspected, the painting, an early watercolour by Munnings (pictured) is due to be sold in Knightsbridge in November, estimated at £8,000-12,000. This may sound like an isolated incident but there is a wealth of art waiting to be discovered locally.

One of our Region’s greatest exports is Art. With a tradition stretching unbroken from the great Gainsborough and Constable, through the 19th Century with Cotman, Crome and the Norwich School artists, their Suffolk counterparts, including the Smythe brothers, Churchyard and Duvall, and into the 20th Century with high calibre artists such as Arnesby Brown, Leonard Squirrell, Mary Newcombe and Harry Becker. This is but to name a few of the scores of significant artists associated with East Anglia which amounts to arguably the richest artistic heritage of any of the U.K. regions. Further evidence of this claim is Bonhams Auctioneers’ East Anglian Paintings sale.

Established 15 years ago in recognition of the wealth of artistic production in our Region; the sale has been held annually ever since and is now one of only a handful of dedicated Regional art auctions still in existence, the sale’s continued success is testament to a growing demand for East Anglian artists at auction. This year’s sale will be previewed in both Suffolk and Norfolk before previewing and selling in Bonhams’ Knightsbridge Salerooms in November.

Already consigned for the auction are many significant works including a rare John Nash oil ‘View from the artist’s window, Bottengoms’ depicting his farm at Wormingford carries an estimate of £12,000-18,000, a Hackney horse portrait by Sir Alfred Munnings estimated at £20,000-30,000. Royal favourite Sir Edward Seago is represented with several works including a fine oil on panel titled ‘Norfolk landscape’ at £18,000-25,000, amongst the many fine 19th Century works a large marine oil by John Moore at £10,000-15,000 stands out. Local artists feature frequently in the auction, in particular artists from The East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Hadleigh and this year’s auction already includes a collection of paintings by Maggi Hambling, a typical Lucy Harwood landscape and sketches by the school’s figurehead Cedric Morris. Lavenham features in the sale with works by Reginald Brill who lived at the historic Little Hall. Sudbury artist Clive Madgwick is represented by his impressive ‘Venetian Grand Canal’ estimated at £1,200-1,800.

Not only has our Region produced a wealth of home grown talent, artists have always been drawn here, in search of the particular light and unspoilt landscapes. Artisitic communities have flourished in pockets including Walberswick and Bardfield and artists such as Ben Nicholson, Phillip Wilson Steer, Mary Fedden, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Eric Ravilious have all worked here. Some artists simply visited, others stayed and two artists who have featured in every East Anglian picture sale since its inception 15 years ago are Sir Alfred Arnesby Brown and Archibald Campbell Mellon. Both men came from Nottingham and settled around Gorleston in the early 20th Century.

Both artists are now amongst the most sought after at auction; Arnesby Brown’s majestic post-impressionist landscapes and trademark cattle; Mellon’s famous beach scenes, views taken from his studio window which overlooked the beach, often painted on the back of cigar boxes and peppered with stick figures and dogs which have earned him the title of ‘The Lowry of the South’.

I would strongly encourage any fans of East Anglian Art or just fans of our East Anglian landscape to visit our sale when it previews in Bury St Edmunds, on the 6th and 7th of November. Alternatively the sale can be viewed in online from mid October at www.bonhams.com Anybody interested in consigning pictures to the sale can contact me on 01284 716190 or daniel.wright@bonhams.com to arrange an appraisal at your home or at one of our regular valuation days around the region. The East Anglian picture sale will be held in Knightsbridge on 18th November and closes for entries on 30th September.

Daniel Wright, Bonhams

Hadleigh Loyalty Scheme The winner of the July draw is Jo Collins. Although Jo lives in Ipswich she works in Hadleigh and shops in the High Street during her lunch break. It is not only residents in the area who contribute to the viability of the town but also employees in the many businesses in Hadleigh. You may remember that Sunflower was one of the shops in the scheme. We are pleased to report that Mung Bean, the new Health Food Shop in Maiden Way, has now joined the scheme.

Do you remember what traditional pubs were like before the big brewers turned them into steak houses and sports bars with fruit machines, pool tables and TV’s everywhere. Well this is the Horseshoes Inn, Cockfield, a Grade 2 listed building built in 1350 AD. A beautiful, newly thatched Freehouse, it has been purchased by Lloyd and Jessica. The Inn was closed when they acquired the freehold. They decided to restore the Inn to its former glory, opening up the large fireplace so it can be seen from both bars, exposed beams and a traditional tiled floor in the main bar, a new bar and and back fitting built. In the Conservatory, which was too hot in the summer and cold in the winter, they decided to put a traditional slate roof on to replace the glass, new carpets, curtains and redecorated throughout.

The pub now has a real warm traditional and friendly feel, offering good home made traditional pub food and value for money. A few dishes on offer include liver and bacon, sausage and mash, fish and chips cooked in beer batter, home made selection of traditional pies and puddings, and the daily special, choice of meats on the Traditional Sunday roast. There is also a good selection of wines by the glass or bottle, good choice of Traditional beers with some changing weekly as guest ales. With a lovely outside garden area in the front of the Pub, Lloyd and Jessica are planning a children's play area at the rear of the Horseshoes Inn. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, why not pay a visit - you will not be disappointed.

Bookings taken for lunch and dinner and a private function room available for those special occasions. So why not call and make that booking for you and friends, you will love the ambience of this fully restored traditional English Inn, large car park, call 01284 828177. Lloyd and Jessica will make you feel welcome, both are very experienced, having previously run their own Pub. Jess is a chef and Lloyd was a professional golfer, they have a 9 year old son called Oscar so a real family run business.

So why not come and say hello, they will be pleased to see you and make you feel welcome.

The Boys Got Beaten By The Girls...

At Football During the Football World Cup The George ran a sweepstake which ran the entire length of the competition. Each entrant paid £5 to pick a team from eight groups, they were based on their world cup rankings. By the end of the World Cup there was a clear 1st & 2nd with a joint 3rd place. The results were as follows: 1st Tori Harman 73 points £381.00, 2nd Pam Brown 67 points £159.00, 3rd Simon Taylor & Marek C 65 points £47.50 each.

Lee Sands from Hadleigh takes on the Marathon Des Sables in aid of NSPCC Lee Sands, 43, from Hadleigh in Suffolk is talking on the challenge of the 6-day, 156mile Marathon des Sables across the Saharan desert in Southern Morocco in April 2015 to raise funds for the NSPCC. Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising target is ÂŁ8000 and he needs your support.

The Marathon Des Sables is referred to as the toughest footrace on earth and

is a gruelling multi-stage adventure through the Sahara Desert. Runners are required to carry all that they need and over a 6 day period they cover and

equivalent of five and a half marathons. Temperatures are as high as 50

degrees centigrade and the only thing in sight are the sand dunes. Water and

# Asked why Lee took on this gruelling marathon, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to take on

what I and many people feel is

one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest $ $ challenges and for

SKy Watch Meteor Showers August is the month that sky watchers are treated to a celestial fireworks display and it goes by the name of the Perseid Meteor shower. The shower runs from July 23rd until August 20th each year and for those who want to wish upon a falling star this shower offers you a large amount of wishes!

The diagram shows you where to look for the meteors.

If you face in a north easterly direction and look up you will quickly be able to recognise the W shaped constellation called Casslopeia scan your eyes down just a bit and you will see a red star named Algol, which is in the constellation of Perseus also known as the Demon star due to its red colour this is the area to concentrate your search efforts. It wont be long before you will see the meteors race through the Sky as soon as dusk falls you will see activity and the beauty is you only need your eyes no fancy equipment at all. Maybe this would cap off an evening bbq?

But what causes a Meteor shower? We covered Comets last month and they are the very source of the showers. As a Comet passes through space,the dust tail leaves behind particles some as fine as cigarette smoke some the size of grains of sand the bigger remnants being tennis ball sized. These particles expand around the orbit of the Comet and each year the Earth traverses through a roughly cylindrical group of these particles called Meteoroids at this point the Meteoroids meet the Earth head-on and then plunge through the atmosphere being burned up by friction causing the incandescent glow we see as Meteors. And they are fast moving too! These tiny particles glow very brightly you cannot miss them and on the night of August 13th they reach their peak in numbers to be seen. On this night one can expect to see 60 Meteors an hour and this is fairly consistent as my log from 2013 gives 200 Meteors in a 4hr period.

The Earth meets this stream head-on because of the inclination of the parental body a Comet named Swift-Tuttle which has an orbit inclined at 113.45 degrees to the ecliptic. An object with a inclination of between 0 degrees and 90 degrees orbits the sun in a prograde motion (anti-clockwise) as the Planets do which would mean we would catch the stream up each year and the Meteors would be slower moving as our orbital speeds would be much alike, and thus cancel each other out so to speak, but an object with a 90+ degree orbital inclination has toppled over the perpendicular and moves in a retrograde motion (clockwise) which is the opposite direction to the Earth, this means we meet debris head-on. This creates faster Meteors which in turn means even the smallest particles are subjected to more atmosphere friction which thus ensures a great display year in - year out. The speeds are truly amazing we hit the stream the Meteoroids hit our atmosphere at 58 KM per second! So if you are out in August as dusk falls take a look up to the sky and you can wish upon a shooting star, the difference is you now know what you are looking at.

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for all your kind comments and support for this article that you have given me, it means a lot.

Also I would like to ask if anyone out there would like to form a astronomy club where members could meet up once a month and talk all things celestial? Any thoughts and comments on this will be greatly received.

And finally, I cannot go this month without wishing my beautiful daughter Keira

louise a very happy birthday for 20th August.

As always please contact me about ideas/questions etc at my email below.

Until next month (September already!?!) clear skies and eyes up !

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

News from The Station Welcome to this month’s news from the Station. I speak both as your local community Constable as well as a well-established Hadleigh resident when I say we are very lucky to live in Hadleigh. There are plenty of amenities, a decent range of shopping facilities and some lovely areas to walk around, not only within the historic town, but through public footpaths along the Railway walk, River walk and the “Conch”.

Since Policing Hadleigh, I have been proud to do my very best for the Town and to reap the rewards in terms of falling crime and anti-social behaviour figures. Sadly, the one constant thorn in my side relates to traffic related issues, and specifically, parking complaints.

Single yellow lines in the High Street (and most other roads in Hadleigh) dictate that you cannot park, or wait, in these areas at any time during the hours of 8am and 6pm Monday to Saturday. The disabled bays carry the same terms, unless you have a blue badge of course. You cannot park or wait on double yellow lines at any time. You are forbidden to park on a road or footpath if the free flow of traffic (including pedestrians) is obstructed or hindered. I shouldn’t have to remind people of this legislation any more than I should have to remind people to pay for their shopping when they exit a store.

I have stated before that we often check the Town’s car parks after issuing parking tickets to see whether there were alternative parking arrangements. In the majority of cases, there are ample spaces elsewhere. It also may not come as a surprise to you that when we check vehicles outside schools, many of them are registered within walking distance to the school. If these drivers chose to leave their vehicles at home, or even park them in the car parks, there would be far less congestion on our roads.

We continue to issue fixed penalty notices, and we ask for your help. Please help us educate the town. Set an example for others, and park considerately and legally. I have read with interest and often surprise at the comments circulating the social media World relating to perceived lack of Police action in the Town, either with parking or other matters. Those who have made these comments and who spread inaccurate data are regularly reminded of my contact details. They are given the opportunity to have face to face meetings with me, but to date only one person out of at least a dozen have bothered to get in contact. This is our Town. We all have a responsibility to make it a better place to live. We all have a responsibility to challenge inappropriate or illegal behaviour, and I urge the residents of Hadleigh to pick up the phone, send an email, write a letter or request a personal visit to discuss any concerns you have within the Town.

I know that we will never resolve the parking issues in the Town, but it won’t stop me or my colleagues trying. However, I also know that we work tirelessly to remove criminality from our Town. The more community intelligence we receive, the better chance we have of doing that little bit more.

On a final note, on Friday 18th July the Babergh District waved goodbye to Inspector Paul Crick who had been our leader over the last 6 years. He moves to pastures new taking over the Community Safety Team based in Ipswich and leaves a very big hole to fill. Inspector Danny Cooper takes over from Paul and is well versed with the District having served at Hadleigh and Sudbury previously as a Sergeant. We welcome Danny having said a fond farewell to Mr. Crick. Remember, the Police Station is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 1pm and 3pm. You can contact us by phone on 101, email matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk or you can follow us on Twitter @BaberghPolice.

Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley

Stoke by Nayland Hotel completes major refurbishment and is awarded Visit England 4 Star Silver status Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa is delighted to announce that the substantial refurbishment of its Reception and Lobby area, as well as the Hotel Lounge and many of its bedrooms has now been completed. Already an AA 4 star hotel, the family-owned venue has also now been upgraded by Visit England to 4 star Silver status.

The newly extended hotel Interior designer Lindsey Rendall reception area of Rendall & Wright took inspiration for the refurbishment from the fruit farm which surrounds the two 18 hole golf courses and thus created a tangible link between these two elements of the family business.

For the Reception area Lindsey has worked with Fromental to design four installations of stunning silk walling. A deep turquoise silk base cloth provides the backdrop for ethereal hand painted cherry trees with delicate embroidered blossom flowers in rich creams, greys and bronzes. Seven elegant seating areas with classic shaped furniture provide wonderful spaces to meet The refurbished Hotel Lounge friends, take afternoon tea or evening drinks. Bespoke high-backed wing sofas create a partition and provide privacy between the seating and walkways. Wooden framed armchairs with citrus coloured chevron fabrics provide a pop of colour against the soft grey backdrop whilst bespoke rugs featuring a blossom design ensure the space feels luxurious. Three lighting circuits have been installed to enable the mood to be altered to any occasion. Bright down lights, atmospheric recessed ceiling lights and low level lamps for intimate evenings. Ceiling speakers have been installed music and underfloor heating ensured the space feels warm all year round. Lindsey has carried the fruit tree theme through to the hotel lounge where she has specified Cole & Sons wallpaper featuring monochrome trees bearing golden pears! The soft turquoises, greys and gold tones have been carried through from the reception area to create an elegant, inviting environment to relax in. Bespoke furniture including a mixture of classic shaped sofas, armchairs, petite chairs, wingchairs and tub chairs have been commissioned to ensure there is a seat to suit every shape, and the introduction of low lighting creates a cosy atmosphere.

The hotel welcomes all visitors for al fresco Lunches and Dinners on the terrace overlooking the lake or in the 2 AA Rosette Lakes Restaurant and Sunday lunch is served from 12.30 – 4pm all year round. More casual dining is also available in the newly refurbished Hotel Lounge or in the Clubhouse – and the sumptuous Afternoon Tea is a treat not to be missed! Free parking and free high Al fresco dining at the hotel’s speed WiFi of up to 100mbps also Lakes Restaurant makes this an ideal venue for informal business and social meetings in stunning surroundings.

Fidelis Activity News Putting on the Style:- Never has a club AGM been such a glamorous affair as the last annual get-together at the end of another Fidelis year. Members responded with gusto to the theme 'Putting on The Style' and let their imagination loose on their outfits and accessories. As always at Fidelis AGMs, it was business before pleasure. With the approval of club members present the Committee agreed to continue their duties for a further year. Liz Wilson, Carole Burne and Jan Devey filed their respective reports so that the ladies were completely up to date on all aspects of club affairs. Once the formalities had been dispensed with the ladies enjoyed a delicious summer buffet prepared and served by Helen Golland and her team from Angel's Delight.

Dancing and singing followed to the nostalgic strains of 60' music from Steve Borwick's band 'Replay'. The group celebrated its 10th anniversary at the July meeting with bubbly and cake.

High Hall, Nettlestead:- This unusual residence, surrounded by nine acres of beautiful garden, open countryside and a clear blue sunny sky, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have looked more impressive when members of Fidelis visited recently.

Coffee and refreshments were enjoyed in the garden before the group split into two for a tour of the house and gardens lead by the owners, Mark and Maryanne.

High Hall has had a chequered past; having once been a Tea in the gardens of High Hall. hunting lodge and a working farm before acquiring itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current status as a comfortable, much loved family home and art studio. The house and gardens bear witness to all the stages of its history which, together with anecdotes from the owners, made for a fascinating tour. The next stop was the Red Lion Veggie Pub, Great Bricett, for a delicious meat- free lunch. Thanks to Mark and Maryanne for their kind hospitality and to chef, Will, for his creativity on the cooking front, a thoroughly good day was enjoyed by all.

Andrew’s Quality Butchers

quality | provenance | service

Save time in the kitchen with our wide range of delicous marinated meats perfect for the BBQ or the oven if the weather lets us down!

In an ideal world, politicians (on behalf of the people) would set the policy, civic officers would work up proposals and then with everything being synchronised the world would march on to a new and better existence.

But mankind are not angels and we are not perfect and quite often there appears to be a mismatch between what was said, what was heard and what was produced. And this is where I began to see the Children’s Services Portfolio Holder at Suffolk County Council in a new light. We can all agree that the Council’s functions include striving for continual improvement in servicing the needs of the residents and the concomitant mandate to provide value for money. Thus the provision of children’s services was scheduled for review and remodelling as necessary.

And then the mismatch occurred between desire and action. At the Council meeting on the 17th July it was proposed that the Council would consult on merging the Brett River Children’s Centre with Cherry Blossom Children’s Centre, East Bergholt and close the building currently used by Brett River. When I first read the document at home there was an outbreak of expletive driven thunder and lightning and like Kid Shelleen in Cat Ballou I reached for my armour and got ready to ride off into battle.

I subsequently obtained from my Council Leader an unequivocal undertaking that this was to be a genuine consultation and I promised to give a robust response to same. Similarly before the main Council meeting I obtained the same undertaking from the Portfolio Holder. And at the main meeting he stated that he did not become elected in order to reduce services and close buildings.

The consultation period will run for two months to get us over the Summer holidays. The consultation document will be available on line and in hard copy.

I am arranging to receive 100 copies of the consultation document so that it is fully available to all concerned.

Am I bothered by all this? Yes I am – because officers cannot know my locality as well as I do. Similarly I am not as familiar as they are with their areas of expertise. That is why they are employed. But I am elected to front up for Hadleigh’s residents whether they vote for me or not. There are a number of flaws in the consultation document and the ideas on which it is based.

My role is to protect and promote the well being of our town and I am always open to ideas. To support me in my endeavours I need as many people as possible to respond to the consultation. Responses can be by email or letter to the Assistant Director – early Help and Specialist Services. Responses can be short and pithy or they can be as detailed as an E.U. regulation. What matters is that we show that our needs cannot be met by merging with East Bergholt. As soon as the consultation is published, I’ll put details on Facebook and on my blog (abwfh.com) – then we can go forward together towards the smell of smoke and the sound of gunfire. What we should not be doing is responding to half truths and the hysterics of the ignorant whose agendas may not be in chime with our own.

Until next month...

St. Joseph’s Long Bessels, Hadleigh The Catholic Parish of Sudbury with Hadleigh Parish Priest: Fr Peter Brett (01787 372703) 07775 167359 (Emergencies) Deacon: Rev. Andy Morton (01206 263367)

Year 6 pupils visit the land of Oz Our Year 6 pupils proved themselves to be a very dedicated and hardworking team by rehearsing tirelessly over a short period to prepare their fantastic version of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Because of our visit by Ofsted which was closely followed by school camp, rehearsals started later than usual this year and some of the children had an incredible number of lines to learn in a short space of time. However, in no way was this reflected in the final performance.

Some of the children sang solos, the main actors were clear and confident, and we even had a real dog as Toto as well as bell ringers at the beginning of the performance!

We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all of the people who helped to make the show a success – including the parents who must have spent many hours rehearsing the script with their children. Well done Year 6 – we are very proud of you!

Classroom changes Because the number of children in our school is increasing, we have had to change the present music room to a classroom for the next academic year.

However, all is not lost – we will be having a mobile classroom delivered soon, and this will be the new music unit. Mrs Broadbent is very excited by the prospect because the new room is very large and will be able to accommodate large groups of children when necessary, including our choir. Already, our playground is beginning to resemble a building site but all of the work will be completed for the start of term in September.

Universal Free School Meals In preparation for universal free school meals in September, our lunchtime arrangements have changed. Over the past two weeks, we have had split lunchtimes: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children from 12 noon – 1pm and Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 from 12.30pm – 1.30pm.

So far, the arrangements (which are designed to ease congestion in the dining hall) appear to be working and our kitchen staff still have a good sense of humour! Unlike many schools, we feel very prepared for the new arrangements and look forward to all of our Key Stage 1 and reception children enjoying a daily FREE, healthy, nutritious lunch (fully prepared on site) from September.

Mass times at St. Joseph’s Hadleigh Sunday: 11.15 a.m.

Armed Forces Day 2014 On Saturday 28th June, members and friends Hadleigh Branch of the Royal British Legion gathered at the war memorial to raise the Armed Forces Day flag to show support for the Armed Forces.

The Mayor, Mrs Sue Angland was invited to raise the flag on behalf of the town and also present and representing the armed forces was serving soldier Sgt Trevor Bygate.

Trevor who lives with his family in the married quarters in Hadleigh said, “I am delighted to attend today and would like to thank the people of Hadleigh who have been so welcoming and supportive of the armed forces and our families”.

After the flag raising, a team of young cyclists held a minimarathon cycle event in Morrisons in order to raise funds for the ‘2014 Poppy Appeal’ and ‘The Hadleigh Great War Centenary Project’. The young cyclists are a made up of ex Hadleigh High School pupils (aged 17-22) and later in the year they will attempt a 700Km cycle marathon, which will visit the final resting place or memorial of each of the Hadleigh soldiers who fell in France or Belgium during the Great War. This event will be self funded and all monies raised will be split between the ‘Poppy Appeal’ and ‘The Centenary Project’. If anyone would like to support this event and make a donation please send a cheque to ‘Hadleigh Branch, Royal British Legion’, your support would be very much appreciated.

Hadleigh Evening WI On a glorious summer day Hadleigh Evening held their garden party for local WIs in the Guildhall and garden. (see pictures). Delicious food and a summer cocktail were enjoyed. For everyone it was a chance to chat and catch up with old friends. Many are keen gardeners and a fun quiz tested their knowledge of flowers and their biology. As the party drew to a close the goodbyes included thanks and see you next year. Other Wis holding similar events included Elmsett and Aldham, Polstead, Bures, Nedging with Naughton.

At the July meeting Rev Carol Mansell talked about Fair Trade. She displayed a sample of the produce available in our shops and supermarkets and encouraged us to buy them. In the developing world fairtrade supports the development of small farming and working communities enabling them have more control over their futures, protect the environment in which they live and have fair terms of trade. At question time we discussed the subject of the inequalities of justice throughout the world. Also on a lighter note, how the second hand clothes which we donate to charity end up in African countries and can be sold to local people at affordable prices Other summer events which we will be enjoying include visits to Hampton Court and Beth Chattoes garden and a ramble and afternoon tea with Jean Madge.

Members of Hadleigh Evening were delighted to welcome visitors Jeanette Bremner and Katherine Templeton to their July meeting. There will be no meeting in August. The next meeting will be held on 16 September in our usual venue, the seminar suite above the Hadleigh library starting 7.30pm. Dr G Singh will be giving a presentation about his own Indian wedding. Visitors and new members are welcome.

Volunteer and support your local Hospice Could you give up some of your time to help and support local Hospice care for local people? St Elizabeth Hospice has over 1,100 volunteers and the local charity is always looking for more people to join their team of dedicated volunteers.

There are a variety of volunteer roles across the Hospice; you could help by working in your local Hospice shop, manning our reception desk, helping in our Inpatient Unit, helping the catering team, driving, hairdressing, co-ordinating creative activities in Day Care, or helping at an event. Whether you can spare an hour or two a week or month, or a morning or afternoon here or there, St Elizabeth Hospice would love to hear from you.

Claire Lansley, St Elizabeth Hospice’s Volunteer Services Co-ordinator, said: “All our volunteers play a vital part in the work of the Hospice. By donating their precious time and skills, they saved us an incredible £1.1million in the last year, and between them, contribute more than 2,000 hours of work a week.

“We welcome individuals as well as groups who wish to donate their time and skills, and volunteering also offers opportunities for you, it’s a great chance to meet new people and make new friends, to increase confidence and people skills, it adds balance and variety to your CV and it’s a worthwhile and rewarding role to take on.”

Paul Seymour, of Ipswich, was looking for a meaningful challenge after retiring from the Royal Air Force and volunteering at the Hospice was a perfect fit for him. He said: “I applied for a role as a receptionist; however once I started I found myself getting involved in other projects around the Hospice. I now coordinate the volunteer drivers’ rota, organising around 20 drivers who transport 100 patients a week.”

To find out more about volunteering or to see the full list of volunteer vacancies, visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/volunteer or call 01473 707016 or email volunteer@stelizabethhospice.org.uk

News from St Mary’s Primary School The last few weeks of term have been very busy and great fun! The children in Nursery and Ash class enjoyed a visit to the Transport Museum, where they explored old vehicles, such as trams, buses and fire engines. The children in Rowan and Beech classes have tackled their Design Technology work with enthusiasm! They were given a design brief to create affordable, environmentally friendly houses for the future. After designing and making ‘future houses’, they presented them to the class.

Lots of children performed for the whole school during ‘Music Week’. At St Mary’s, we love to promote creativity and this was a great chance for children to experience playing in front of an audience. During the week, the children demonstrated their talents on all sorts of instruments, including the guitar, the piano and violins. Thank you to all the children who participated and to all the adults who supported them, particularly Brian Hempstead, who runs our lunchtime violin club.

Our Summer Fete took place on 12th July and we were very lucky with the weather! There were lots of things for children to do, such as donkey rides, hook-a-duck, the bouncy castle, bouncy slide and bash-a-rat. It was great to see the dog demonstration by the Gipping and District Dog Training Club and the performance by the Majorettes. There was a great atmosphere and we received lots of positive feedback. We would like to say thank you to all the parent volunteers and staff members who made it such a success. Their time, energy and commitment is much appreciated. Also, thank you to all the local businesses that donated fantastic prizes for the raffle. We raised more money than ever before, which will go towards developing the outdoor spaces, including the environment area and gym trail.

Thank you to all the visitors who have helped lead Worship for us in recent weeks, including Pastor Greg Frost, Reverend Barbara Challis, David and Wendy Atkins and Claire Coster.

We have been thinking about the theme of ‘responsibility’ and the children have considered, using our gifts responsibly; taking responsibility for others; and being responsible for our behaviour.

Beech and Ash classes have entertained us with their class assemblies recently. Beech Class shared lots of their learning about the Romans. They showed us the video presentations they made on iPads, which were fantastic. We were all very impressed with their ICT skills! The children in Ash Class talked about different talents and how we are all good at different things. Then they performed dances to accompany a reading of the book, ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’.

The Reception children did so well to remember their words and dance moves and their animal hats looked great. We have certainly got some real performers in Ash Class! Once again, thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came along to see the children – it was lovely to see so many there!

Thankfully, the sun was shining for Sports Day! The children from the Early Years Foundation Stage enjoyed showing their sporting skills to all their parents. It was lovely to see so many people there to cheer them on! The children took part in lots of races, including racing while balancing bean bags on their heads and the egg and spoon. In the afternoon, the rest of the school participated in lots of races and field events, such as the long jump and javelin.

Once again, it was great fun for the children with lots of encouragement for their team mates. After all the events were completed, the proud winners were the Blue Team! Well done, Blues!

Now the summer holidays are here! We hope everyone has a fun, restful holiday – see you in September!

Hadleigh Chamber Summer Garden Party 10th August 2014 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm Last year's new look to the annual social gathering was a tremendous success. So this year is more of the same but with a twist. Priory Hall, Benton Street for a traditional garden party with cream tea and cakes, music and games but this year we are celebrating James Walter and his over 40 years voluntary work for the Chamber as he moves into (semi we hope) retirement.

James has been working hard for a number of other charities over the years and so we will be inviting them to join in as well. This is an almost family friendly event, though not for children under 10 as the grounds at Priory Hall are not child friendly (there’s lots of water). You can park on site athough Priory Hall is in easy walking distance from the town centre if the Pimms is a bit too appealing! You'll be able to wander around the grounds which include orchards, knot garden, walled terrace and rose arbour and enjoy the relaxed ambience of this country house. (And if it rains we'll party in the Tudor Hall instead.) The garden party will start at 3pm and finish at 6pm and cost £10 a ticket. Please download (see below) and complete the booking form here and send in to Tony Addison. We need to be able to firm up on numbers for the caterers (Angel Delights) a good few days in advance and make sure we have enough Pimms, wine, beer, soft drinks.

Any questions please email or call either Tony 01473 810002 tony.addison@free-rein.net or Cyndy Hilton 01473 823185 cyndy.hilton@prioryhall.com.

Entry will be by ticket only so please get your order in, this is always a popular event! Download the booking form from www.hadleighchamber.co.uk/party

Greenscape Energy Ltd – Solar Panels in Hadleigh and the surrounding area Solar panels are continuing to be a popular investment for many people looking to reduce their energy bills, not only do solar panels help reduce these bills but under current government incentives they also generate an income. Anyone thinking of investing in a solar panel system should consider the following tips to help ensure they are getting a good deal; • Always make sure that at least 2 quotes are obtained from reputable Solar installers.

• Research using the internet the products the installer is using.

• Insist on being given details of other local people that the company has installed a Solar system for, as any good company will have nothing to hide and will happily let a potential customer speak to existing customers.

• Do not let yourself be pressured into ‘sign on the day’ tactics of salespersons, take your time to consider and compare the quotes you have been given.

Researching the installation company is also key in ensuring a good deal.

Here at Greenscape Energy we pride ourselves on our quality of work, choice of top quality products and excellent customer relations.

Sadly not all companies seem to be taking such an honest approach to the way they work; Have you or anyone you know recently found yourself receiving several phone calls offering you ‘free Solar panels’? We are speaking to many people at the moment who are receiving such calls, often several times a week, and who rightfully think that there is something amiss with the offers being made to them. In most cases, it would appear that people are being offered ‘free’ Solar installations, and are being advised that the Government has ‘teamed up’ with one or more of the main UK high street banks. The people who have investigated this offer further are often told that a ‘Government Surveyor’ can visit their property to ascertain the feasibility of their home for a free Solar installation.

What appears to be happening is that a Salesperson from one of many companies who are currently operating in this way then visits the home. The potential customer is told that there is a ‘better than free’ offer available, where the money paid back to them by the Feed-in Tariff combined with the savings on their bills will cover the monthly cost of the Solar installation. In this way, the system will pay for itself in 10 years, and the customer will not have to part

company with any of their own money. The remaining 10 years of the Feed-in Tariff payments are then 100% profit for the customer.

What customers are not being informed of, is firstly that there will be an outlay of their own money, and that what they are actually signing up to is a 10 year finance plan with a major high street bank, in order to pay for their Solar installation.

Often these companies quote inflated prices, do not explain thoroughly that the interest on the finance is nearly 10%, and will do all of this during an appointment that pressures the customer to sign the contract on the day, without giving the customer the chance to get alternative quotes or to do sufficient research. All of this is a complete contravention of the RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code) regulations for dealing with potential customers within the Solar industry. We would urge anyone who has had any dealings with a company operating in this way to not put pen to paper during the initial appointment.

Many of these high-pressure companies will make offers that ‘are only available if you sign today’, or ‘you are bulk-buying with other local people and you get a special discount’. All of these claims need to be verified and investigated before signing a contract. Quite simply, they are old-fashioned pressure-selling tactics, designed to get the customer to purchase a system without speaking to any other companies. Do a thorough research into the technology that is being offered, and also the company quoting for them and their background, before making any final decision.

Fortunately, any company in the Solar industry is legally obliged to give a customer a 14 day ‘cooling off period’. Many people who have experienced companies operating in this manner have cancelled their contracts the following day, as they rightly noticed that by paying 10% interest on a bank loan to pay for a Solar installation, the benefits of the Feed-in Tariff are almost completely wiped out. Before signing anything, potential customers should ask themselves “why would I pay 10% interest to borrow money from a high street bank, when I can take out a personal loan at only 5%, or even extend my mortgage for around 4%?” At Greenscape Energy, we are actually offering interest-free-credit on installations with one of our top Solar panels. Once again, a potential customer should ask themselves “why would I sign up to an offer that requires me to pay 10% interest, when I can actually pay 0% interest with a reputable local company?”

If you or anyone you know has been made offers like these, and seek some clarification on what is being offered, or for more information about Solar in general, please get in touch and our friendly team will be more than happy to help.

The Hadleigh Historian

As a fitting beginning to this present period of remembrance, Nigel Crisp of Hadleigh The Hadleigh Historian The Hadleigh Historian writes about the creation of the memorial to Issue 23 August - September 2014 Price £3 commemorate Hadleigh’s dead of the Great War (1914-1918), later called the First World War. Townspeople were determined that there should be something special ‘to perpetuate the memory of those who had fallen’ so a respected London architect was employed to design a monument based on ‘principles of massiveness, solidarity and simplicity of form’. The unveiling ceremony, attended by three-quarters of the population, took place in June 1921 after several set-backs had been overcome by those determined that the project should be a suitable commemoration for the 111 men of Hadleigh who had died during the conflict. There will be two acts of remembrance in Hadleigh on 4 August 2014 to mark the outbreak of the First World War on that day one hundred years ago. On the hour every hour from 10am to 7pm at St Mary’s Church, reading and prayers for peace will be led

by Churches in Hadleigh and district, followed by time for silence and personal reflection. In the evening from 9pm, Hadleigh branch of the Royal British Legion will be holding a candle-lit vigil at the War Memorial. If you are unable to attend, the Royal British Legion invite you to take part in Lights Out, by turning off your lights for an hour at 10pm and leave on a single light or candle for a shared moment of national reflection. Millie Goulbourn of Hadleigh returns to the pages of The Hadleigh Historian to continue her investigation into crime and punishment in 19th century Hadleigh with the story of ‘Hadleigh Association for the Prosecutions of Felons and Other Offenders’.

Professionals, farmers and shopkeepers living within a five-mile radius of the milestone obelisk (then on the corner of Church Street and High Street) were invited to join this organisation, which was designed to protect property from fire and theft. However, one Hadleigh resident fell foul of another such association, when he bought a horse at Hadleigh market. Angel Street and Bridge Street are featured in pictures and to introduce a new series about the five manors of Hadleigh, a short explanation about their purposes is given.

There will be two pieces about each manor, the first will trace ownership and jurisdiction and the second will look at who has been living in the manor house, not necessary the lord of the manor! The series will start in Issue 24 with the manor of Toppesfield. In ‘A Hadleigh lad goes to war’, aircraft-engine fitter Frederick Holbrow’s story continues as he prepares for D-Day in June 1944 when, as one of 195,700 personnel in Operation Neptune, he sailed for the Normandy beaches. Thanks go to Barbara Scarff of Hadleigh for the loan of her brother’s manuscript memoirs. Extracts concerning Fred’s childhood during the 1920s and 1930s will appear in future issues. If you have a family story that you would like to share or there is an aspect of Hadleigh’s history that you would like investigated, please contact the editor.

Sue Andrews, The Hadleigh Historian, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 &BG. Telephone 01449 740673.

Issue 23 (August-September 2014) is on sale at Avis Newsagent and at Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop at Semer, price £3.

Thankyou to Hadleigh & District Angling Society My sincere thanks to Hadleigh and District Angling Society for their contribution to the John Bryant Tribute Fund after the Memorial Match in John’s name. A total of £175 has been passed to the St. Elizabeth Hospice who were very grateful for this welcome amount.

Puddle Ducks Swimming lessons in your area for babies, toddlers and pre-school age children. Swimming is one of the most amazing experiences you can share with your baby or toddler! You can start swimming with us from a few weeks old up until they reach the age of 4. There are many benefits to swimming with your child, listed below are just a few: • Classes really help to build your child’s confidence around water, especially as they learn vital personal survival skills and can even help with activities at home such as hair washing!

• The fun content of lessons with lots of songs and activities helps children to learn without even realising it!

• Regular swimming often improves eating and sleeping patterns • As classes are based on age rather than ability, your child (and you!) will be making friends with children at a similar age • Even though gentle, baby swimming classes provide a complete physical work-out: strengthening your baby's heart, lungs and respiratory system • Being in the water with your child lets you share their swimming journey and learn how to practise in your own time • Encouraging children to take regular exercise helps to promote a healthy routine from an early age Our teachers adapt every activity to suit each child. Our baby-led swimming approach ensures that your child's needs are expertly fulfilled - never forcing development, but rather nurturing it to ensure a positive experience and love of swimming. Although fun is at their heart, Puddle Ducks classes are about much more than this. The classes revolve around bonding and play where children don’t realise they’re learning to swim and acquiring skills that could save their lives. The children have great fun whilst learning important discipline around water.

We are now enrolling for the next term starting in September so please contact the office if you would like further details – suffolk@puddleducks.com or 01473 356222.

Come Come on in, the water’s water’s lovely!

Join our family of Puddle Ducks and enjoy baby and pre-school pre-school swimming with the most caring and highly-trained teachers around.

Rusty Boxx to play at this years FolkEast Festival Rusty Boxx, a group led by siblings Ross and Ellen Ankers, have been invited to play at this years FolkEast Festival at Glemham Hall.

Following the success of their debut EP, the group will be performing Friday 15th August 8-9pm.

The group released their first EP, 'Scattered Keeses', with Oh Mercy Records in April and have been receiving positive reviews since, and has had several tracks played on BBC Suffolk Introducing. 'Ankers affinity for pop hooks and percussive delivery is a perfect balance to the airy harmonies. It’s a welcome change of pace and a testimony to the songwriters and musicians of Rusty Boxx' (Niji Magazine 2014). Ross says 'It's a great event to be asked to play and is the perfect way to celebrate what has been a successful year for the group, and will be a good place to play some new material!' We look forward to meeting new people and seeing familiar faces'.

Dear Sir

Dear Sir

There is, of course, a perfectly simple answer to Brian Riley's angst over the destruction of the new trees in East House Meadow. Small (Kilmarnock) or medium growing willows would have been cheaper and more in keeping with our East Anglian heritage and have the advantage of actually growing faster after being damaged. However, planners always show councillors pictures of beautiful mature trees outside mock-ups of their pet projects. Both parties then don't use common sense to ask what will inevitably happen to them.

Another option is, of course, to spend a lot more money on planting older trees not capable of being snapped down. My money goes on willows.

Mr. R. A. Smith

I want to say ‘Thankyou’ loud and clear to the two teenagers, Kate and Kylie, who helped me when I was in deep trouble because I lost all electricity in my house. I am 97 and disabled and I decided to seek help by standing at my front door in the High Street. The only people on the other side of the street were two teenagers. I beckoned them across and quite properly they looked very carefully at this very old woman beckoning them - but they came.

I explained my difficulty and one stayed by the front door while the other came in to find out if the cut was the result of a general power cut or just a fault in my house. She climbed the stairs, found the steps which enabled her to read the electricity. She found the right fuse switch and pulled it down. Hurrah! I had at once a phone, toast, tea - everything was ok.

The girls told me their christian names and that they lived in Hadleigh. I think their names were Kate and Kylie but the only way I can shout my thankyou is by writing in the HCN. I am so proud, although I am not a Suffolk, that a little Suffolk town has such grand and sensible young people.

Dear Sir

Another summer holiday starts in Hadleigh, another consultation period opens, this time on Brett River Children's Centre. Only we shouldn't expect to change anyone's mind or appeal to anyone's sense, because Gordon Jones (gordon.jones@suffolk.gov.uk) has already decided that Hadleigh doesn't need a Children's Centre of its own and that anyone who does want a children's centre, can go to East Bergholt and use theirs. Brett River Children's Centre could be closed by December 2014 and for a working town with (thankfully) plenty of children and young families, that's not good Print Ad NEW quarter:Layout 1 20/5/14 12:27 Page 5 enough. I have started a petition to let Mr Jones know that we don't want our

I feel that I have to reply to Mr Green’s letter in the last issue of the HCN, as I believe that I am the person with the horse about which he was complaining. I wonder if it has occurred to Mr Green that the reason you see me and my horse, and others, walking through town is that we are on our way to those very fields and trails to which he refers. Not all horses are fortunate enough to be kept right next to the trails around Hadleigh and so it is necessary to go through the town to reach them, and then go back through again to head home at the end of the ride.

Speaking for myself, I have never left horse poo outside Partridges or anywhere else, I have always gone back to the “scene of the crime” to clear the poo away and take it back to the stable. It may be an hour or two, depending on the duration of the ride, but is always cleared up without fail.

I cannot of course answer for other riders; however, to the best of my knowledge, there is not actually a law that requires horse poo to be cleared away. Of course if I am wrong then I will be happy to apologise for not knowing. For Mr Green’s information: My horse is only allowed to walk, not trot, under vet’s advice because of damaged tendons, and so we are not able to travel through the town as quickly as we would like. When I take my horse out, I am always careful to ensure that I allow cars to pass provided it is safe for them to do so, and I will always pull to the side whenever possible.

This is adhering to what is stipulated in the Highway Code. Does Mr Green complain if cyclists or mobility scooters are similarly holding up traffic?

With more and more houses being built on greenfield sites around Hadleigh, the amount of bridle paths and trails available is increasingly being affected.

It is only recently that we have been able to use the bridle path in the vicinity of Tower Mill Lane because of the house-building work that has been going on there. I would like to think that Mr Green will recognise that, as a rural town surrounded by farmland and countryside, Hadleigh is bound to have its share of horses. It comes with the territory! If Mr Green or anyone else wishes to talk to me about their concerns, I am very approachable. I am easily identifiable by my leopard-print riding hat.

The Army Benevolent Fund (Suffolk) gives a loud cheer for the splendid generosity of people in and around Hadleigh. Our street collection on 11th July raised £809.95 (and the town cried!). Many thanks to all concerned, those who gave and the volunteers from 7 Bn, REME (who all live in Hadleigh, I reckon it’s a splendid town) and from the 41 Club, who for several years have turned out to collect for the fund. Thank you, one and all.

Anyone who’s ever lost a stone or two would know how much easier it becomes to climb the stairs or move around generally. And how good it feels!!

Even if you’re not sunbathing it’s still good to get outside – we all feel happier when the sun’s out and we can wear our favourite summer clothes! Being outside has other health benefits too – the body produces Vitamin D in sunlight - which is essential for our bones (the body is unable to store it) & it’s also good for our immune systems therefore colds & flu are more common in winter.

Cambridge Weight Plan can help!! It’s not just an effective method of losing weight safely and quickly, more importantly it teaches you how to achieve a long-term balance of nutrition and exercise. Originally developed by doctors for use with hospitalised people awaiting surgery, but who were dangerously overweight, this year Cambridge is celebrating 30 years of helping many thousands of people successfully lose life-changing amounts of weight.

When you choose Cambridge Weight Plan you have the added benefit of your own personal consultant who has experienced her own weight loss journey on the programme, understands how you’ll feel along the way and can help you achieve your goal. You’ll get individual support and motivation from accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord (with over 5 years’ experience).

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish

Over the past few weeks there has been no let-up with activity in and around Kersey Mill. We have been delighted with the number of visitors that have been to view the mill and to see the work in progress. With the lovely summer days we have been able to continue with the repairs to the exterior, quite a task due to the considerable decay to the timbers and windows. This is not an easy job due to the sheer height, positioning and scale of the building. Having the river and race run very close to the mill adds to the complications when it comes to maintenance, very difficult to erect a tower scaffold or indeed use a cherry picker in or across a water course. The cost of scaffolding for the entire building is in the region of £7000, needless to say on a tight budget it’s an expense we could do without. We scratch our heads! So what is the answer? We have to do the repairs but we can’t work at that height from a ladder. Bring on Bill Griffiths, Bill has trained and become very skilled at rope access, a bit like abseiling. He uses one rope to climb and another to descend whilst being secured on another with a harness. It’s fair to say he is doing a fantastic job. The rear of the Mill now has a gutter that is free of debris and works correctly. This had not been cleared for a number of years, grass and weeds were growing from it. The rotten barge boards have been repaired and there is a fresh white coat of paint to the entire back elevation. The windows are in the process of being re-glazed and repaired. Rope access is a fantastic way to work at height safely without the extraordinary costs associated with other methods. Photo is of Bill Griffiths looking like Spiderman.

The recent open day saw many visitors to the mill, Mr and Mrs Elmer kindly brought along some photographs of an engine similar to the one that would have been installed in the wheel-house. This would have been used to supplement the water driven stones. The photographs are of an engine that was installed in one of Haleigh’s Mills and looks impressive, it is currently mounted on a trailer and taken to shows. The Kersey Mill engine was removed some years ago, if anyone knows of its whereabouts we would love to hear from you.

Another visitor we were delighted to see was Martin Whitworth who owns Buttrums windmill in Woodbridge. Buttrums windmill is one of England’s finest tower mills. Built in 1836 the mill is the product of the famous Suffolk millwright John Whitmore, Whitmore and Binyon of Wickham Market built Kersey Mill. Buttrums has its sails intact that still turn on windy days; it has six floors packed with milling machinery and is over 60 feet high and well worth a visit. Talking of visiting mills there are several mills within Suffolk that a certainly worth a visit and whilst in Woodbridge visiting Buttrums it would be well worth visiting the tide mill, Woodbridge Tide Mill is a rare example of a tide mill whose water wheel turns and is capable of grinding wholemeal flour. Also worth a visit is Pakenham water mill a working mill with flour grinding demonstrations regularly held. All three mills mentioned above are very different to one another and in very good repair unlike Kersey Mill, but we are working on it!!

Podiatry/Chiropody Service available at Hadleigh Physiotherapy Will & Charlotte Dykes are excited to welcome Mark Smith and Laura StantonDavis to the growing team at Hadleigh Physiotherapy. The practice will now be offering general podiatry care as well as detailed biomechanical assessments, looking at the function of the foot and associated structures and how it affects the way you walk and run. Podiatry can be used closely with Physiotherapy to help maximise the efficiency of patient’s function, by combining specific exercises, footwear advice and where indicated insoles or orthoses.

What is Podiatry/Chiropody?

Podiatrists/Chiropodists are qualified to assess, diagnose and treat conditions or injuries which affect the lower limb, ankle or foot. Problems that can be treated range from simple nail and skin conditions through to complex muscle, tendon, and joint injuries.

Podiatrists are trained in all aspects of foot and lower limb care but many choose to specialise in particular areas such as: - General Podiatric Care which covers conditions such as callous (hard and thickened skin), corns, verrucae’s and nail care.

- Biomechanics which looks at the mechanical function of the foot and associated structures and includes assessment of how you walk and run, known as gait analysis.

Introducing the Podiatry team.

Laura Stanton-Davis has worked as a Specialist Community Podiatrist for the NHS for the past 10 years. She has worked in open access triage clinics and has managed high risk caseloads alongside routine foot care.

Laura is able to assess, advise and treat a range of foot problems such as, callous (hard and thickened skin), corns, in-growing toenails, fungal nail infections, verrucae’s and basic nail care/cutting.

Mark Smith has worked as a Biomechanical and Musculoskeletal Podiatrist for the past 11 years. He was a clinical lead in the NHS for 10 years to both adult and children services, and in 2012 completed his MSc in Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics. For the past year he has been employed by the MoD and works as the regional Podiatrist to East Anglia, and the South East.

Mark can assess for a range of lower limb injuries, sports injuries and problems associated with biomechanics and gait (walking), including toe pain, heel pain, arch pain, Plantar Fasciitis, Metatarsalgia, Mortons Neuroma, Achilles tendon pain, ankle pain, shin pain, knee pain and some low back pain.

Treatments may include footwear advice, exercise and stretching programs, gait and running education, and if required insoles/orthoses.

Mark and Laura are both members of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists (MChS) and are also both registered to the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC).

This recipe is dedicated to Rosa Simon, whose love of colour reminds me of rainbows.

Recipe for Success

Rosa’s Rainbow Salad There is no recipe for this dish, not because I am being lazy, but because it is simply an

by Sarah Thompson excuse to have some artistic fun and create a colourful dish for the summer. Select the quantities to suit the occasion. I tried this out with my Friday afternoon cooking class and all credit to them, the results were stunning.

Fruit Salad Any combination of the following that make up the colours of the rainbow. Plums, strawberries, raspberries, grapefruit, blueberries, oranges, nectarines, peaches, melon (any variety), grapes, kiwi fruit etc.

With the next salad, rather than simply cutting up the vegetables, experiment with different ways of presenting a colourful line of the rainbow, for example julienne strips, grating, batons, dicing, etc. Choose from the following suggestions, or find your own, but remember that there is no naturally occurring blue vegetable, so use blueberries if you need to, or put blue food colouring on a cucumber, which is what my students did.

Vegetable Salad As with the fruit salad, select the colours that make up the rainbow and choose quantities to suit.

Aubergines, courgettes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers (the more colours the better!) beetroot, cucumber, radishes, lettuce, etc.

Don’t forget to BASIL (Buy And Source It Locally) Hadleigh’s Friday vegetable stall sold me this wonderful array of fruit and vegetables so please remember to BASIL (Buy And Source It Locally) and don’t forget the beauty in a rainbow.

Beaumont Primary School Sports Day The summer term is always a busy one, packed full of different events and activities. One of the highlights of the summer term is always the Sports day.

Sports day at Beaumont isn’t just a day when we celebrate sporting achievement.

The children, their families and friends mark the occasion with a picnic lunch on the school field before the activities in the afternoon. The children then take part in Sports Day - Family Picnic various sporting activities, competing for a team trophy. To mark this World Cup football year each team represented a well known football nation. Well done to the Italian team who walked away with the team trophy this year.

Football World Cup Football fever saw us hold a mini version of the World Cup – the Beaumont World Cup. The children were divided into 8 teams which competed against each other at lunchtimes for a Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 trophy. After many a tense match, some of which went to penalties, the winners were Spain at Key Stage 1 and France at Key Stage Beaumont World Cup trophies.

Designed & constructed by Year 6. 2, both teams defeating England in the final. The Year 6 children designed and made their own Beaumont World Cup trophies, two of which were chosen to present to the winning teams. The children also completed World Cup themed work in class, learning about the country of Brazil and about the many social issues that surround it.

Victorian School Trip With the better weather in the summer term the teachers also take the opportunity to arrange class visits. This year to support their work on the Victorians, the Beetle and Dragonfly classes visited the Victorian classroom at Braintree museum. The visit to the Victorian classroom is always a memorable experience. The children and adults dressed up in authentic Victorian The Victorian classroom at costumes and experienced the very Braintree Museum different teaching techniques adopted in Victorian times! The children, who also had an opportunity to visit the museum, had a wonderful time immersing themselves in Victorian life.

Olivia! One of the highlights of the summer term is always the production that this year, Beetle and Dragonfly classes worked so hard to produce. Olivia, the tale of a Victorian orphan, was performed brilliantly and to a very high standard. The children had to learn a number of songs which they sang extremely enthusiastically. They also had to stage several complicated scenes, which took some careful planning and skilful acting! The children thoroughly enjoyed performing and gained a great sense of satisfaction from the experience.

Summer BBQ Another important social occasion and fund raising event for the school is the Summer Barbeque. Organised by new team of parents and helpers this year’s event was a real success. There was a good turn out to enjoy the range of activities and displays. We were very lucky to be treated to displays from the school’s very own cheerleading squad and also the Diamond Lights majorette team who both performed brilliantly to the crowd.

Gardening Club To mark the end of another successful year for Gardening Club, Mrs. Liggett and her team organised a picnic at the allotment, for the children who attend the club. The club also invited the school governors to join them for the occasion. The school governors were very impressed with all the hard work the staff and children had put in over the year. The onions are looking fabulous!

Goodbyes The summer term is also a sad time too as we have to say goodbye to our Year 6 children as they move up to secondary school. In the last week of term Spider Class will be performing a special Leavers’ Assembly which I’m sure will be a great success! We wish them all well for the future.

We also have to say goodbye to members of staff. Tracy Alexander will be sorely missed. She has been at the school for many years and has always had a particular interest in the welfare of children from service families. We wish her well as she takes on new The Year 6 leavers... challenges.

The Railway Man (15) FRIDAY 22nd AUGUST at 7.30 pm - £3.50 on the door A WORTHY FILM DRAMA FOR AUGUST We are proud to be presenting THE RAILWAY MAN, a tribute to all the prisoners who were forced to work on the notorious ThaiBurmese railway during World War 2. This is the true story of Eric Lomax who was captured by the Japanese, tortured and put to work on the railway. Lomax was fortunate in that he had a life-time obsession with railways and this served to preserve his sanity throughout the war. On his release from active service Lomax suffered years from what we now refer to as post-traumatic stress, but decides to return to the scenes of his time on the railway and confront his tormentors – the meeting between Lomax and the Japanese prison officer is both tense and palpable. Colin Firth, as Lomax, is outstanding in this film, cementing his reputation as a great actor. However, two other people stand out as worthy of mention: Noel Kidman who plays the long suffering wife, Patti, giving a wonderful, if at times emotional performance as she supports Lomax during his years of torment. And portraying the early life of Eric Lomax is Jeremy Irvine who is completely convincing in the role, having mastered the nuances and mannerisms of Firth himself! This is not a film for the faint hearted, with scenes of moderate violence and torture, but THE RAILWAY MAN is a film that will live long in your memory. Please note that only persons over the age of 15 can be admitted to this film. Refreshments will be served at an appropriate interval including our ever popular choc ices.

Our new brochure for the autumn season of films will also be available.

You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre Refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval!

Passwords and Online Security The standard advice for use of passwords online is that one should use a different strong password for every site that one is registered with. A strong password being 8 or more characters long and being a mix of upper and lower case characters, numbers and punctuation and containing no recognizable words. So m4,hP8XpF would be good and P@55w0rd would be not very good.

New research from Microsoft suggests that in practice it is much more practical to only use strong passwords on sites which are important (Banks being the obvious example) and use a couple of easily remembered passwords like P@55w0rd for the rest.

Remembering complex passwords can be a real challenge, so my advice is to record passwords in a notebook keep it in a safe place not too near your computer. For added security be cryptic with the entries in the book.

There is something else that one can do to make life online more secure and that is lie about personal details used as security questions. Typical questions would be “Mother’s maiden name”, “Where were you born”, “favourite teacher”, “first school”. The site doesn’t care about the answers, but many of us have so much information about us online that a stranger could find the answers. So lie. Use the name of a pet instead of your mother’s maiden name, an old car registration, title of a favourite book or film and so on.

Pause For Thought How I wish I was a bit more organised and would stop leaving things until the last minute. This pause for thought has to be in tomorrow and I've just ordered some things on line that I need in a few days that I could have ordered weeks ago. So last minute. I know some very organised people who don't leave anything to the last minute and plan well ahead. Did you know that God has plans and is organised? When He created the world He did it in an orderly way, He gave precise instructions to Noah on how to build the ark and He has plans for us. In the Bible He says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29 verse 11.

What are His plans for you and your life? To find out get to know God, pray, read the Bible, go to Church. Have a relationship with God and follow His plans for your life.

A huge thank you to Helen A huge thank you must go to Helen Golland of Angel Delights, the award winning teashop in Hadleigh High Street, for organising a Cream Tea Event in the Ansell Centre on the afternoon of Saturday the 21st June. The event was in support of the Alison Fracella Research Trust who are raising money for brain tumour research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

The afternoon was a real success thanks to the hard work of Helen and her team - her Mum and Dad Sheila and Ken Parkin, her niece Madeline and Shelly, who were both super waitresses. They served 90 cream teas! Helen’s home made scones (freshly made by her that morning) were declared delicious by everyone. The hall looked amazing with all the finishing touches - the beautiful tablecloths, the vintage china, the cake stands and the bunting decorating the hall. It was a wonderful afternoon with lots of fun and laughter.

A very big thank you to everyone who came to support us and to all the many people who made the mouth watering cakes for us to sell.

A very special thank you to Sue and Roy and to Maria for everything they did to help make the event so successful. Our cake stall and donations raised £236 and ticket sales, before the deduction of expenses, made an amazing £511. A huge thank you from us all at the Trust to Helen for all her hard work on our behalf and for her generosity and kindness.

Let's Make Hadleigh Happy – Life Beyond Stress Dear all, I warmly invite you to Let's Make Hadleigh Happy – Life Beyond Stress a free talk and meditation session hosted by Isha Institute of Inner Sciences* at the Ansell Centre on Friday September 19th at 7:30pm.

The talk will be on the topic of Inner Engineering: Technologies for Wellbeing, offering a perspective on how meditation can be an effective tool to maintain physical, emotional and mental stability, irrespective of external circumstances, allowing anyone to live with ease and joy, and to: • Cope with the hectic pace of modern life • Function better under stress • Attain higher levels of productivity This will be followed by a twenty minute meditation session: introducing powerful and practical tools from the ancient science of yoga and giving everyone a taste and experience of what meditation can bring to them.

A free DVD will be offered to all participants to practice the meditation at home and share it with others. Looking forward to seeing you there! *Isha Institute of Inner Sciences, UK registered Charity 1116816, is the UK branch of Isha Foundation, a non-religious, not-for-profit, public service organisation. We are run entirely by volunteers who are motivated simply by the desire to share with others what has benefited us. For more information please see: www.ishafoundation.org. Whatever your job, or take on life, meditation can be benficial. It increases stability and clarity, helping you to make good decisions and also to be effortlessly creative. For someone in chronic pain or with a lot of worries, meditation connects you with a part of yourself that is beyond pain and worries. It also helps us to transform ourselves in whichever way we wish - whether that is to give up smoking, eat more healthily or smile a lot more. For example, if you have been trying to eat more healthily, you may have noticed that, with however much good intention you plan your diet, sometimes you end up eating what you didn't really want to eat! I think we have all been there: you open a packet of biscuits to have one and the next thing you know they are nearly all gone! Meditation is fundamentally about bringing a space between you and your compulsions. So if the compulsion is to eat another biscuit, you have the space to decide whether it is something you really want to do or not. If you do want to, then you can go ahead and have another biscuit, but, if you don't, you put the biscuits back in the cupboard! In this way you can become master of your own life.

For more information, or to let us know you are coming, please email: ishakriya-uk@ishafoundation.org.

The Revd. Stephen Earl, Rector of Lavenham Church said: “We are honoured and delighted to be able to welcome Rowan Williams to Lavenham Church. Dr. Williams’ time as Archbishop of Canterbury demonstrated the constant need to reflect on how the church engages with the many ethical challenges that arise today and we look forward tremendously to hearing what Dr. Williams has to say”. This event is open to all and is free of charge (although donations towards the work of the church, Registered Charity No. 1131642, would be appreciated). Refreshments will be available.

Churches in Hadleigh – Praying for Hadleigh

Rotary Review CLUB MATTERS: Club Assembly was held on the last Thursday in June and the Assistant District Governor attended to learn about club plans for the new rotary year. These include a Concert by Hadleigh Community choir in the Autumn, the Christmas Collection and the involvement of Hadleigh High School in various Rotary competitions for youth including Young Chef, Youth Speaks, Young Musician.

There will be a number of social events as well - Christmas Party, Champagne Breakfast, Charter Lunch and a Summer outing.

SPEAKER: Bob Beaumont, Chairman of Hadleigh Community Transport Group, spoke about the current state of public transport in Suffolk. Firstly, Hadleigh Community Transport Group is finding it more and more difficult to obtain sufficient funding and is looking at new ways of unlocking government monies. Even so it is about to take delivery of a new bus fully equipped for disabled access and is hoping to start a service to Ipswich Hospital soon although there is some resistance to this from other transport providers. The Dedham Hopper is also running through the summer. In general bus services are contracting probably by 50% with the emphasis on maintaining town services at the expense of the country. He felt that National Express provided a good service to other parts of the country but there had been little improvement in rail services although in due course Crossrail will prvide a better service to South West. As far as he knows there are no immediate plans to improve the A12 or A14. We are served by a number of airports including Norwich, Stansted, Cambridge and Southend with the fastest expansion likely to be at Southend.

MEMBERSHIP: The Club is keen to extend it's Associate Membership scheme which provides an introduction to Rotary and a chance to get involved in Rotary activities without becoming a full member. Membership may now be for up to 3 years at a cost of £10 per annum and Assoc. Members may attend as many meetings of main club as they wish, may put forward ideas of their own for social and fundraising as well as having the opportunity to learn all about Rotary. Why not give it a try! Ring David Stokes 01473 827226 For all other information about Hadleigh Rotary Club please visit Rotary Club of Hadleigh website or ring Alan Williams Tel: 01473 830229.

Poets Corner Be Happy Why be miserable, when you could be happy.

Do not let past and present woes make you so snappy.

A smile costs nothing and lights up your face.

Change your outlook on life and rejoin the human race.

Kindness and friendliness go a long way.

Make yourself more approachable, then cheerfulness will be yours to stay.

I you shun the world, it will shun you.

Life is what you make it, embrace it in all that you do.

So when you open your eyes on a new day, be glad and rejoice.

Put a spring in your step, a twinkle in your eye and laughter in your voice.

It is never too late to have some fun.

Take chances, make new friends, you have just begun.

Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Haven We recently had a wonderful evening at our Summer Ball, held at the Cameo Hotel, Copdock. Superbly organised by Jann, with the help of Jane and Jo, the guests danced the night away to live music provided by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Talk of the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and disco by Bradley Rabett.

Huge thanks to both for supporting us, plus Anglia Catering for providing the food. A great night was had by all and calls for â&#x20AC;&#x153;when is the next oneâ&#x20AC;? were left ringing in Jannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears.

We have a new horse staying with us who is here at Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for rehabilitation, he is a 3 year old x-race horse who has been named by staff as Boris.

Boris had been stabled 24/7 since he was a yearling. Boris was rejected when he could not cope being in the racing industry. He was tuckered out the first week, as he was not used to having a paddock to mooch about in at his will. A lovely photo taken of Boris and Coral a staff member checking he was okay on his second day. Boris comes into a stable in the evening after a good 10 hours a day in the field, which is a completely different life than he has experienced over his 3 tough years. Some future events for your diaries: Monday 25th August â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will have a stand at The Suffolk Punch Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Something about Suffolkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a day of traditional Suffolk music, crafts, games, working horse displays and much more. Come along to support us and the beautiful Suffolk punch horses.

Saturday 6th September â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disco at The George, Hintlesham 7.30 to 11.30pm. Contact Jo for more information On Saturday 20th September we will be having a stall at the High School PTA Table Top Sale to raise funds and welcome any donations you may have.

Do come along on the day (free admission) and enjoy a coffee and cake and see what goodies are available to buy. 11am to 1pm at the Ansell Centre.

The Club meeting for July was a "Garden Safari", which, thankfully, was on a beautiful, warm and sunny evening after several days of torrential storms.

Phew, lucky or what! It is with sincere thanks to the gallant folk who have allowed us to scrutinise every inch of their wonderful gardens which, despite the above, were in immaculate order, ta ever so John & Julia, Jenny J., Carole & Derek, John & Gloria, and Kate and Ray. To Carole, a special thank you for the delicious snacks. Many congratulations to all of you who have managed to keep your gardens in good order during what can only be described as a "difficult" year. Yes we all know that few years can be perfect but this one has been a pig in many ways. Mild winter brought things forward and failed to kill off the bugs, too much rain, not enough rain, and searing winds. Enough of those for me to have all my ridge tiles re-seated not to mention the ones that blew right off!! Jolly glad my garden wasn't on show! Our next meeting is the August visit to Barnsdale after which it is the start of the new season with a talk

by Thompson and Morgan and a competition for three tomatoes on a plate, and don't forget, cherry tomatoes count for less marks, however perfect!

Driveway and Patio Specialist

Hadleigh Gardens Yesterday when I was out I met a friend who asked me whether or not I had any problems with Rosemary Beetle, and I had to admit that I had never heard of it.

When I got home I looked at my standard reference book for Pests and diseases (Collins Guide to Pests, Diseases, & Disorders of Garden Plants), and it was not there. This sent me to the internet where I discovered that this is a relatively new pest in the UK. It seems to have arrived from the Mediterranean in about 1994 and seems to be spreading from the South East of the country.

I then went and inspected my rosemary and lavenders, and quickly found one specimen on my rosemary, so I can confirm it is in my garden. My friend has them by the hundred. The adult is about the same size as a lily beetle, but instead of the bright red of the lily beetle it has a beautiful metallic sheen with purple and green stripes. The adults have been emerging from pupae in the soil in recent weeks. They will now mate and lay eggs. These hatch into slug like grubs which eat like mad, and then drop down to the soil to pupate and appear as adult beetles next year. The RHS is running a survey of where they are being found on the internet, so if you find any you may like to fill in the form on their site. Some insecticides work against them, but I am planning to hand pick any more that I find. It is difficult to get a picture that does justice to them, but my effort with one on a thumb nail is above.

The right time to repot cacti is March/April when they are about to start into growth. This year it did not get done, and so I am taking a chance and repotting some of mine now. I use the existing pot as a former to create the correct size hole in the new pot of gritty cactus compost into which to drop the root ball with the minimum of disturbance. I use a strip of folded newspaper to hold the cactus to avoid damage to the cactus and spines in my hands. While repotting is a good time to look for cactus mealy bug, which forms white waxy deposits on the plants. I control this by brushing them with methylated spirits.

So a wet May was followed by a dry June. So far in July it has been mainly dry, but we have had 3 very wet days, and as I write this more thunderstorms are promised. The 3 monthly total at the end of June was 123 mm (4.8") which is still a bit lower than the average. In June the maximum temperature was 26 Cel (79F) the minimum temperature was 6 Cel (43F) both of which are typical. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 20 Cel (68F), which is warm for mid July, but is the same as it was last year.

Hints August is a good time to take cutting if you need to increase your stock.

This applies to lavender, penstemon, dianthus, and many others. Think what plants you would like to increase and then check a book or the internet. It is also the right time to sow Spring cabbage like "April" or "Early Queen", and Winter Radish. Keep dead heading flowers. It makes the garden look tidy and prolongs the flowering season.

Happy Gardening, John Rye

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Are you new to Layham?

If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet. However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940.

Layham Parish Council Notes from the meeting held on 25 June 2014 Public Forum Prior to the Parish Council meeting, an extended Public Forum was held. The architect presented proposals for the refurbishment of the Marquis of Cornwallis, which included car parking for 73 cars on two levels; a new dining area overlooking the terrace and garden; a ‘cooking experience’ kitchen, open to the public; five bedrooms on the first floor and two on the ground floor; landscaping.

The second item was to invite parishioners to suggest future targets for the Parish Council – the Chairman said the PC had been careful over the years and was now in a position to carry out a small project costing in the region of £1-2000. Some suggestions were: extending the path at the Mill Lane entrance to the Playing Field across to the Recycling Centre; re-locating some of the 30mph signs; the condition of Water Lane; dog fouling on the Playing Field; litter.

PC meeting • Louise Allen was unanimously re-elected Vice-Chairman for 2014/15.

• Police report - there had been no reported crimes since the last meeting; however, there had been an increase in the area generally of break-ins concerning sheds and outbuildings; PCSO Coleman distributed some leaflets giving tips to prevent theft.

• District Council report – Cllr Wigglesworth highlighted the new Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), which was due to replace the old Section 106 agreements in 2015. Developers would pay into the CIL for things like transport and roads, and this could become part of the planning application process. She confirmed that Babergh had not yet set its levy, but said CIL was not likely to be worth as much as the Section 106 agreements. The Joint Strategic Plan had now been formally adopted.

• County Council report – Cllr Jones said the latest National Grid newsletter had confirmed the pylon issue was on hold until 2022. He would follow up on some of the points raised during the Public Forum with Highways.

• Burnt-out van on Brett Green - the van had been removed; the Clerk had contacted Babergh re the damage to the road surface and trees.

• Planning - there were no objections to the application relating to Deaves Farm, for the erection of a side extension to provide a garage/carport; erection of an outbuilding to provide a boiler/plant room, log store, workshop & garden store; erection of a new brick garden wall; change of use of land to domestic curtilage.

Message from our Police Community Support Officer – PCSO Mandy Coleman “It is every dog owner’s duty to clean up after their dog. There are no excuses. Fouling is unacceptable” St Andrew's - your Parish Church Services during August Sunday 3rd 10.30 am Morning Worship Sunday 10th 9.15 am Sung Eucharist Sunday 17th 9.30 am Café Church Sunday 24th 9.15 am Family Eucharist Sunday 31st 12 noon Picnic Praise at Layham Playing Field Coffee, Cake and Chat Please come along with your friends to the church on Mondays 4th and 18th August between 11 am and 12.30 pm.

Brian Hempstead On 21 June Brian, a regular worshipper and resident of Layham, was licensed as Reader at Bury Cathedral. He will serve in the Benefice of Hadleigh, Layham and Shelley. Congratulations Brian.

The Friends of St Andrew’s Good news! The work has started. So a process which began back in 2011, with the formation of the Friends of St. Andrews, prompted by Patrick King, has now progressed to work starting. The works to the Church Tower will include renovation of the flag pole and weather vane, laying a new lead roof and installing new rain water outlets. Repairs are also necessary to the tower brickwork parapet, which requires replacement of many bricks and complete repointing. The work is expected to take about 20 weeks.

Funding has come from a grant of £42,000 from English Heritage and £4,000 from the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust. The PCC contributed £7250 which is the accumulated donations of parishioners to its fabric fund and the Friends gave £10,000. A further and key source of funding has been Robert Keeble's firm, KLH Architects, who have given all of their work for free. This has been an invaluable and most generous form of support.

In addition Robert himself has been the main mover behind our securing the significant grant support and also in designing and implementing the work.

We hope this work will secure the fabric for a significant time.

There will of course be further ongoing work to pay for; we have now caught up with ourselves, so to speak, but we will need to keep on top of things going forward. So we are still recruiting new members, if you would like to join contact one of those listed below, or go to the email account, friendsofstandrews2011@hotmail.com.

Gates open 7:30 with first race 8pm. Tickets £15. For tickets, further information or to sponsor a race or horse please contact Allison Dunn - allison-dunn@sky.com.

Come and have a flutter and help raise funds for St Andrew's Church.

Playing Field Conservation Area If you visit the Conservation Area on the Playing Field you will see there are many stinging nettles. Over time we will manage the area so they are not quite as dominant but it is worth pointing out that the nettle hosts several different butterflies including the Tortoiseshell, the Red Admiral and the Peacock (pictured).

The second picture shows Peacock caterpillars feeding on the nettles.

This is why we take the trouble to work on this small area. If you are interested in helping, pick up your phone and contact Lesley Garnett on 01473 822128. Lesley leads the Parish Council Green Team.

Potato crop in Lower Layham We had a long dry period in June and much of July which made it necessary for the potato crop in Lower Layham to be irrigated. The field made a surprisingly attractive sight whilst the plants were in flower. Thanks to Martin Looker for the photograph.

The Swan Inn, Lawshall Set in the heart of rural Suffolk in the village of Lawshall, The Swan Inn is everything that a country pub should be. A beautiful 18th Century thatched building crammed full of period features and lovingly restored by new owners Laura and Lawrence. Having taken the step of moving to the UK from Australia, The Swan Inn seemed the ideal place to raise a family whilst allowing qualified chef Lawrence the opportunity to do what he does best, cook. On the menu you will find all the traditional pub classics with a few extra culinary delights using locally sourced fresh ingredients, all of which are proving very popular with the locals. The ever changing menu is sure to offer something for all taste buds and the desserts are truly amazing. No country pub would be complete without the traditional Sunday roast, and Lawrence’s come highly recommended. Located just a mile off the A134 and with a large garden to be enjoyed by all the family, a selection of real ales, LaVazza coffee and an list of quality wines Laura and Lawrence really have the perfect country pub.

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.net Website: www.hadleighhigh.net

Heading to Success At the start of 2014, the Year 10 pupils were given the opportunity to apply for the role of a prefect. The pupils were given a green log book which they had to fill in – the more signatures the higher the chance of getting the role. The roles were Pastoral, Community, Science, Humanities, MFL, Maths and IT, English and Drama and Music. When the Prefect Leaders were chosen, they were given the opportunity to have an interview with the Headteacher (Mrs Gibson).

On the 7th July, the Year 10 Prefects, Prefect Leaders and Head Pupils underwent a prefect training day. The training ranged from team building exercises to considering the attributes of a perfect prefect. As the day unravelled, the pupils gained more confidence in their role and their duties were defined. Recently the new Head girls and boys were chosen by Mrs Gibson and the Head of Year, Mrs Palmer, and we would like to congratulate Harry Plank, Harry Kemp, Lois Peck and Ellen Seeley who deservingly earned these roles. Head girl, Ellen Seeley, told us; “I am really looking forward to helping with school activities and encouraging different people. I was very shocked when I got the role and it hasn’t really sunk in yet!”

Picking the Junior Prefects This year also introduced opportunities for year 9’s such as: House and Sport prefects. These roles required skills from the students such as responsibility, meeting deadlines, team work and dedication. To find the prefects, the large number of applicants had to be interviewed by Mrs Calvino. We spoke to one of the junior house prefects, Emily Smith; “It’s helped us get to know the younger years in our house and has also encouraged us to take responsibly within the school community.”

Junior sports prefects, Andrew Halls and Elske Kelly, also said; “It has given me opportunities to improve my sports leadership.” “I have enjoyed being a Sports Prefect because it has helped me to be more confident. I have appreciated helping younger students improve their sport and umpiring their matches. I also believe it will help me in the future with colleges as it shows leadership, organization and commitment.”

The Fate of the Fete The fete which took place on Saturday 5th July was undoubtedly a success. Despite the fact that the weather was dismal, the fete being held inside was a greater success than being outside according to Mrs Calvino.

The Year 10s dedication and planning which started back in February finally paid off as they managed to raise an amount to be proud of for the house charities, all of whom were exuberant about the donations. Pupils of all ages were involved.

Kieran, a Year 7 pupil who helped to run the Mucky dip (a lucky dip with a nasty surprise!) stated: “The fete went well and that the stall I ran raised lots of money for the school’s house charities.”

Another pupil – Morgan Geller, voiced: “The fete turned out so much better than I expected: the music was fantastic as well as the spirit of the community.”

Well done to everyone involved!

Echoing Fun! ‘Hollow Trees Farm Shop’ were recently paid a visit by a group of Year 9 students. They went to a Food and Farming Fair to learn about various jobs that relate to agriculture. They also learnt where the source of our food is and how it is produced. Overall, the pupils generally enjoyed their visit and being away from the schools grounds for a while.

The Clouds Will Part for the Stars of the Summer Concert On 22nd July, the Hadleigh High School Concert was held in the Sports Hall, where a variety of students performed their many talents. This consisted of a range of musical performances, dances and performing art pieces – this shows the range of talent in our school. As usual, the students that performed impressed everybody in the room, which led to amazing feedback from parents, family members and other members of the audience. Students thanked Miss Macey, Mr Hellewell and other staff for organising another excellent Summer Concert. Students look forward to the Concert every year. We can tell this through the enthusiasm from the students and the preparation that the acts put into their performances. From Year 9, Jess Simmons stated: “I practise roughly 8-9 hours per week, preparing my own compositions.” This shows the pupil’s dedication towards the Summer Concert.

Head Boy and Girl: Harry Planck and Lois Peck also commented: “We always look forward to the concert as it is a brilliant way for the students to show off their talents.

As head boy and girl, we hosted the concert. Writing the script was challenging, yet fun and exciting. We cannot wait to introduce the next concert at Christmas.”

Overall, our school is teeming with students who are willing to take on the responsibility of practising and participating in this annual Summer Concert.

Imaginations Run Wild On Friday the 4th July, a selection of Year 10 participated in a Creative Writing Workshop with Mrs Dawson in the library. The Pupils that contributed to the workshop were: Morgan Geller, Amarlia Thomson, Daniel Holloway, Jonah Beadle, Ellen Seeley, Clara McElroy, Fraser May, Boris Takam, Chloe Read, Georgie King, Olivia Sherred, Tom Luck and Emily Partridge.

Tuesday the 8th July, a few Year 5 and Year 6 students were selected from various schools and took part in the same workshop that our Year 10 did on Friday – only this time the Year 10 students led the activities. In the Library, a selection of refreshments, such as biscuits and drinks, were available to the children to make them feel comfortable and welcome. The Year 10 students were very friendly and cooperative which also made the Year 5 and 6 students feel at home. Daniel Carrigan (Year 6) took part in these activities. He said: “We had 4-5 different tasks on varied aspects of writing. My favourite part was when we had to write a poem about an object and how it smelt, felt, looked like and what feelings it had. The day helped with my confidence with speaking in front of people and I enjoyed the day overall.”

Morgan Geller (Year 10) who helped led the activities, stated: “It was a very relaxed environment and everyone participated really well. Overall the day was very successful.”

Maths Fayre To aid the Year 7 students’ understanding of probability, Mr Lloyd and his class of top set students designed a range of fun and exciting probability games and teasers to test the other pupils in the year. When you beat the game tokens are awarded. The winner of the Fayre was Stanley Radley-Moore who defeated one of the challenges involving dice and cards, not once but twice, earning him 500 tokens. When asked whether he enjoyed it he answered: “Yes, there was lots to do”. He also said it helped him in his Maths which in the end is most important.

The makers of the game, Matthew Sellen and Aden Engelbrieght, said: “It was good seeing people’s reactions to the game”. Overall Mr Lloyd’s Maths Fayre was a success as it managed to combine both enjoyment and education.

Enrichment was a historical success Between the 23rd to 27th June, the school hosted their annual Enrichment Week.

This year the week was held with a distinct Middle-Ages theme, with activities based on medieval times, with medieval food, games, crafting and more. The pupils were divided into 5 large groups, all significant historical groups from the medieval period which were: The Plantagenets, The Lancastrians, The Yorkists, The Normans and The Tudors.

Each group had their own activities and tasks themed on their historical group and this included designing T-shirts which represented what their group was about, with many creative designs being produced by the end of the day. During the week, the pupils experienced other activities involving visitors coming to the school. These included a professional fencer teaching one group the ways of fencing, which they compiled into a creative presentation at the end of the week.

One pupil was unable to participate in the week’s activities due to an injury, however, he certainly was not left out, as he created a detailed book titled ‘Dooms Day Book.’ This book included images of the day-to-day happenings of the groups, as well as details on the historical aspect of the week. He says that the project helped him become more independent, and he thoroughly enjoyed creating it during the whole week.

Students were in awe when some birds of prey visited the school, as they viewed them from up close and personal. These included a Peregrine Falcon among others. They learned all about their habitat, origin, what species of bird they were and more. Pupils even got the chance to see a baby owl at the end of the visit!

The pupil’s main task was to create a presentation for the end of the week, with the goal of the presentation being to show how their group put the ‘Great’ in Great Britain. There were many highly creative designs, all being of very high quality of work. Some of the presentations included a short play by part of the Yorkist group, which went so well it had some of the staff in tears! Some of the other presentations included an authentic medieval market stall, and a giant medieval banquet.

The staff all agreed it was a fantastic week, with everyone getting involved in some form. The staff say that the students learnt valuable teamwork skills, as well as communication skills that will be extremely useful in their later lives.

Ardèche From 19th to 27th June, a group of Year 9 students went to the Ardèche.

It was a great opportunity to go to a different country and try new activities such as wind surfing, banana boats and kayaking, only to name a few. The pupils went to 2 different PGL sites to try the activities as well as visiting Mimosa first where they did water activities in the Mediterranean Sea. They then moved sites to Segres to get prepared for their 2-day Ardèche river descent. For the last 2 days of their trip, they went canoeing on the Ardèche River before they got back on the coach to return home. They arrived back to school with lots of anticipation as they were eager to tell their adventure to their parents.

Mersea Island 2014 (written by Grace Watkins 7O) In June, 113 pupils and 13 teachers travelled to Mersea Island. Having arrived we set up camp before taking part in numerous fun activities! These activities included climbing, high-ropes, caving, mountain biking etc…

All of camp was amazing - there was something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the high-ropes and caving! I also enjoyed our time on the beach. Every instructor was friendly, encouraging and fun. Going for the week was brilliant! The tents were

massive, in our tent there were 8 of us and we still had a lot of room for all our luggage.

Overall, camp was fantastic.

We lived with our friends, learning things about one another and ourselves every day! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity as we would never be able to do those activities with all of our friends again. Camping at Mersea Island was brilliant, I would definitely go again!

Sport-tacular Time! On Tuesday 8th/Wednesday 9th July, Sports Day took place and the rivalry between the houses shone through. Each form competed for the terrific sports day trophy and only one house can win! Who will it be? On Tuesday, some of the track events and all of the field events happened and on Wednesday, the other half of the track events happened as well as tug of war between the staff members. Music was played and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

The Perfect Prom On the 11 of July, 148 year 11 students attended a night of high school memories: the Prom. All the ladies look absolutely stunning and the boys looked handsome and dashing as well. We spoke to Miss Clarke, who has been organising the memorable night: “It was awesome and amazing. The whole place was decorated beautifully. It was a great night for every one!”

We hope that everyone enjoyed the night!

Schools out – Scream and Shout! It’s been another astonishing year at Hadleigh High School. There have been so many achievements and many new friendships have been formed. This has been greatly recognised by former pupils and teachers that work within the school, and has made the year a very happy and marvellous one! Summer is right around the corner and we hope that the pupils continue to spread joy wherever they are right through to September. The upcoming year 7 students will begin a new chapter in their life and we hope that it will be a prosperous year for them to come.

The Community News Team Take Over As the Year 10 students progress into Year 11, they are no longer part of the Community News Team. However, a bright new bunch of Year 9 students (Year 10 to be) are keen to get typing in September.

The old team are moving on and passing down their excellent skills and expertise to the new group. We hope that the new Community News team will bring a whole new level of skill and determination.

On our visit there, we saw one man's grave that has a Victoria Cross engraved onto the white head stone. The Victoria Cross was awarded to him for extreme bravery when he and 4 other soldiers managed to take over one of the German Bunkers on the site where the cemetery is now. We proceeded onto Langemark cemetery mainly for German troops. In the middle of the cemetery there is a mass grave that holds over 27,000 German soldiers killed in the war. It was interesting to see that all the graves were shaded by oak trees and were coloured black. This made the atmosphere solemn. On the final day we did a town trail in Boulogne. Although it was really challenging as all the questions were in French, we still had great fun doing it! Overall the trip was really enjoyable and we all learnt something new. (We would like to thank all the teachers and staff, and of course Dave the bus driver for making the trip possible, but most of all fun!)

Saint Omer 2014 It took around 35 minutes to cross under the Channel and at one point someone was convinced they saw a fish through the window!

When we arrived in Calais it was lunch time, so we stopped at a picnic site and ate our sandwiches. We then went into the shop on the site and some of us brought sweets to keep us going for the rest of the journey! We were even able to see the White Cliffs of Dover from where we were sitting! Just before we arrived at our accommodation in Saint Omer, we visited a little 'Boulangerie' or bakery, and had a tour and a talk about how the bakery was run and how to make the perfect, authentic French bread! Just before we left, we all got to try fresh Pain Au Chocolat. What a yummy treat! After our brief visit to the bakery, we continued our journey onto the Chateau D'Eblingham in Saint Omer, where we're swiftly unpacked our bags and went and VATconsisted is moving online April 2010 had dinner that of 'jambon avec from pommes de terre et petit pois' and for dessert we had a choice of watermelon, doughnuts or apple pie.

Town War Memorial and The Great War Roll of Honour There is one good thing about Hadleigh Town Council when it comes to the question of honouring the Town's war dead. As soon as they are made aware of any work required to keep the Town memorial up to standard they are on the mark. This has applied in the past upon latter day research finding ommissions of casualties names and of the care they took over the installing of the Sharron Elliott memorial. They have recently had both The Great War and World War Two memorials thoroughly cleaned including the surrounding area and paving and a tidy up of the foliage. All will be ready for the 4th of August ceremony on the 100th Anniversary of the start of The Great War, details and timing of which are in this issue of HCN. As regards the Roll of Honour in St. Mary's, the church have had The Great War casualty tablet carefully cleaned. The last one was by A.H.J. Smith, Hadleigh recording that he cleaned it in 1965. I trust we don't have a letter of complaint over the frequency of cleaning!!

Porch Project Thank's are in order to the three young men that took custody of the left in the porch hand bag by a recent visitor to the Church. They waited until the owner eventually returned to claim it. The recent fund raising barbecue held at Priory Hall was a success in all aspects. The forecast is of a four figure sum, more details in next HCN. Hadleigh Community Choir Their recent concert was a sell out success. Although I was an early booker I unfortunately was in A&E for the second time that week and had to miss out.

I look forward to their next appearance on Sept. 20th for a very British evening in St. Mary's. Tickets are on sale in four outlets, don't miss out.

I would like to start with a huge thank you to all those who have been in touch with information on soldiers who served, including those whose names are on the memorial. This is a fantastic start to this exciting project and bodes well for the future. So please keep the information coming.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED - If you know of a relative or have any information about anyone from Hadleigh who served in the Great War then please get in touch. If one of your other living relatives knows more or holds the information then please put us in touch with them. Once in contact, we would then like to gather as much information as possible. In some cases, this may be very little, but ever little helps. If you have any medals, a ‘death penny’, casualty badges, cap badges or any other relics, we would like to photograph them. If you have any documents such as letters, official papers, diaries, photographs, etc we would like to scan them. Remember - Our aim is to honour the memory of these men by telling their story and the best way we can do that is to create a website that will store the information and provide a lasting research resource for generations to come. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. THE FIRST TO FALL - The first Hadleigh man to fall was Pte James Baker of the 2nd Suffolks who was killed in action on 26 Aug 1914 aged 28. The son of Harry & Emily Baker of 3 Bridge Street, James was a professional soldier before the war and was part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) that was rushed over to try to halt the German advance. He took part in the battle of Mons and the subsequent retreat. At Le Cateau, the 2nd Suffolks of 14th Brigade, 5th Division, occupied the hill above the town.

The battalion received the order to ‘stand fast’ just as it was about to move off, and was forced to improvise its defensive position, much of it exposed. The 2nd Suffolks then played a key role in holding back the Germans.

The battalion’s tenacious defence of the high ground overlooking Le Cateau was crucial in enabling the 5th Division to retreat south-west. A substantial effort was made by the German infantry and artillery to dislodge the Suffolks who lost 4 Officers and 75 men.

A memorial (pictured) now marks the area of the Suffolk’s trenches.

Private Baker is commemorated at La Ferté-sous-Jouarre Memorial to the Missing which lies some 66 km to the East of Paris. Deploying with the BEF in August 1914 would make James entitled to the 1914 Star, sometimes known as the ‘Mons’ Star. This was proudly worn by the survivors of the BEF who also dubbed themselves the ‘Old Contemptibles’ a name that they were supposedly first called by the Kaiser who labelled the stubborn force that stood in his way as that “contemptible little Army”. James was married to Henrietta Bridgland of Cranbrook in Kent, who he may have met while he was based in that area.

It is quite common for soldiers to marry girls local to their base. Although immediately before the war, James’ unit were based at the Curragh in Ireland.

Other that that, we have very little information about Private Baker and so if there is anyone out there with a photograph or any other information then please get in touch.

The beer festival was a great success again this year. The weather could have been kinder on Saturday but despite this we still sold out of cider and had only a small amount of Ale left. It was great to see our regulars back but also there was a lot of people coming for the first time and we hope you all enjoyed the day. We would like to thanks the Bands who played. Paul G and the Retros kept us entertained on Friday night and proved as always very popular. On Saturday the music started at 3 pm local bands Nuclear Winter, Zoe and James from Zoe & the Pulse and Harry Planck all performed. It’s fantastic to have such talented youngsters playing and everyone were very complementary on their music. These guys will now be able to add to their CV’s that they were the warm up acts for the one and only Elvis. Who between getting back from Vegas and jetting off to a nursing home at Fingringhoe for a gig managed to squeeze in another legendary performance. The main band for the evening were “Without Motif”, they certainly lived up to their reputation and were very good, getting lots of people dancing. We would like to thank everyone who attended, all the helpers, the bands for making this a great day and we will see you all again next year on the 3rd & 4th July 2015 Hadleigh RFC Committee.

Hadleigh Thrift Shop The Hadleigh Thrift shop is delighted to see that the Day Centre that was at Angel Court is now very happily settled in Magdalen House. Our shop has supported the day Centre over many years and feared the loss of this facility when Angel Court closed. After meeting the owner Hansa and her manager Sarah to explain the need In Hadleigh they kindly agreed to the move to Magdalen House. We are thrilled to have been involved in this, and Paulette tells me that everyone has settled in very nicely. It will now be called The Wellbeing Centre. Long may it continue for the use of Hadleigh residents.

Hadleigh’s Footpath Volunteers Our walk this month will be on Saturday 16th August. We will leave from Hadleigh Bus Station (Coop side) at 9.50am. Everybody welcome, dogs included. Strong shoes, or preferably walking boots should be worn, as the ground is rough and wet in places. The walk is 8 miles in length, and will start at Newton Green. The route will be Assington, Little Conard, Henny, Middleton, Ballingdon, and on to Sudbury. We will return to Hadleigh by bus arriving back at 2.30pm. There are some wonderful views on this walk especially around Little Conard, and in the River Stour Valley. This walk is definitely worth the effort. Further information regarding this walk, or any of the footpath volunteers other activities can be obtained from Hadleigh’s Footpath Warden, David Warner on 07749 732941, or email him on nottinghamvictoria@supanet.com.

www.lseaves.co.uk The “taster” session held at Pond Field, Polstead on Saturday 12th July was a great success with over 50 people of all ages attending. For many it was their first try at fishing or the first time for a few years. For the youngsters who had the pleasure of catching their first fish the day will live long in the memory.

We would like to thank all of the society members who attended and helped to make the event run smoothly, Snowys Bait and Tackle for providing bait for the event and especially to Councillor Brian Riley for the generous allocations from his County Councillor's' Locality Budget of £500 for fishing tackle for the junior section and £250 for directional signs for the fishery. The tackle provided was used for the event and will be available to any juniors attending society events in the future to help them develop their fishing skills.

For all those who attended and would like another go and anyone who missed the event and would like to try fishing, the taster session will be repeated on Saturday 16th August.

Not forgetting existing members - a donation of £75 has been received from Hadleigh Thrift Shop, to purchase a set of scales and a net for use at midweek retired member’s matches. Many thanks for their continued support.

Taster Session 2 Saturday 16th August, Pond Field, Polstead 9am – 1pm.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk After a summer of unusual comings and goings, Hadleigh United entertained a young Colchester United team in the first pre-season match of the season.

The visitors were quicker than Hadleigh as their full-time training emphasised.

Colchester scored after 35 minutes but Hadleigh were putting up a creditable display. However, Colchester scored two more goals in the closing stages for a three goal victory. The next match was at Sudbury where a goal by Scott Chaplin gave us the lead. But Sudbury were especially strong and scored three goals for a comfortable home win. Behind the scenes John Day has retired after 15 years on the committee. He received an award at the presentation evening. The first team entertain Needham Market on Saturday 2nd August in the annual match for the Hadleigh Charity Cup. The league matches for the first team begin at Fakenham on Saturday 9th August followed with a home match against Wivenhoe on Tuesday 12th. On Saturday 16th Sawbridgeworth come to Hadleigh in the F.A Cup, before a trip to Ipswich Wanderers on Wednesday 20th. On Saturday 23rd we go to Ely while Haverhill are at the Millfield on Tuesday 26th. Fixtures for the Reserves and Youth team will be on the website as soon as they are issued. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw are Paul Donnelly and Linda Ward. Winner of the ground improvement draw was Rolf Beggerow.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group The 1st XI are certainly finding life much tougher in their second season in Division 1. To date only five wins have been registered, with too many batsmen struggling for form and much depending on Australian Luke Ibbs digging them out of trouble. The force has certainly been with Luke this season. He has scored hundreds against Witham and Wivenhoe and produced a remarkable all-round performance to help the side over the line against Mildenhall when it looked as if the game was beyond them. Taking 6-56 with the ball, he was the last man standing with 94 not out, guiding Hadleigh to victory after they had slipped to 93-7 chasing 174.

In fact wins are at a premium throughout the senior teams. Ryan Phillips’ 2nd XI have picked up two more recently against fellow teams towards the foot of Division 4, and it is good to see some batsmen starting to find some form. The Sunday 2nd XI came close in high scoring games at Sudbury and Bury, but finally managed to break their duck at Battisford. The captain tried everything to get a win – losing the toss, batting first (ridiculous), sending his opener to counselling to break his 30-something yips, even fielding a team comprised almost entirely of Tampions (well, 6). Here is the full tally: brothers Peter, Buster and Blossom, Bloss’s sons Arran and Owen and Buster’s daughter Jasmine, making her senior debut. We believe this breaks the club record of family members in one XI, almost certainly held by assorted Claireaux’s.

The most successful team currently in the club is the boys U-13s, who wrapped up the Suffolk East Development League. They won all six of their matches, including bowling St Margarets out for 22 in one game.

Another successful fundraising dinner was held at Vauxhall Farm at the end of June, where Bob ‘the Cat’ Bevan entertained the gathering with sporting anecdotes, the trials of spending the evening on the Chairman’s table and the legendary Estonian question. Thank you to all who supported the event, although it would have been good to see more players attend. Unfortunately the Hadleigh Big Bash on July 13 fell victim to the weather, but it is hoped to try again on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Keenly Contested Ladies’ Doubles Final!

The annual Ladies Doubles tournament took place on Sunday 22nd June. The event was well subscribed by players and supporters alike, with a ‘round robin’ tournament involving all entrants, leading to a Final between the top four scorers.

The Final was keenly contested, with Eunice Scott and Dominica Yannaghas ultimately overcoming a valiant challenge from Liz Allan and Angela Forrest. Congratulations to Eunice and Dominica, who were presented with the Challenge Trophies by Club Chairman Geoff Scott. We are always looking for new members, if you are not sure whether you fit in with us, why not come along as a guest and meet us? We are waiving the guest fee for your first visit, so there is no reason not to come along and join in! Playing times are listed below, don’t be shy, bring a friend and see how you do. The club is not only about playing tennis, (though this is the main objective of course), we also enjoy a number of social events through the year, such as the annual Bar-B-Q, Christmas dinner, quiz nights, internal tournaments and fun days as well as the recently re-instated anniversary match against Bildeston.

All of these events ensure that there is a good social side to the club which members and friends can enjoy. Hadleigh Tennis club plays on three sessions per week: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 12.00 pm.
