The fight to save Hadleigh High Street strengthens... The Suffolk Federation of Small Businesses has joined the campaign to save Hadleigh High Street, 12 noon, 18th May 2013 Hadleigh High Street from the threat of a third supermarket. They state “We think it is crucial that the decision-making councillors (at Babergh) talk to business owners now about the effect Morrison’s is already having and understand the killer effect a third supermarket will have”. Hadleigh Town Council, The Chamber of Commerce, The Hadleigh Society and Hands off Hadleigh have all undertaken for themselves, or commissioned, nationally recognized professional businesses to look at the effects of a third supermarket on the town. They looked not only at the High Street shops and the loss of jobs and possible closures, but also at the implications on the town’s traffic, environment, flood plain and conservation area. All of the professionals employed agree with the conclusions that Hands off Hadleigh, Hadleigh Town Council and the Hadleigh

Society and now joined by the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, have made over the years.The opening of Morissons has seriously affected the shops in our High Street. Indeed if any of the major supermarkets suffered the proportional loss of trade that our Hadleigh High Street is experiencing it would make front page news in the national press and their share holders would be screaming. So what will the Babergh Planning Department recommend to their councillors and how will those councillors vote when they eventually meet to discuss the Tesco Planning application? Will granting Tescos permission to build a further supermarket in Hadleigh compensate for the potential loss of our High Street, the increased traffic, the damage to the conservation area and the increased risk of flooding down the Brett Valley? Or perhaps the District Councillors who are making the decision, of whom only one lives in Hadleigh, will read some of the documents themselves and appreciate what those documents don’t say about the impact that similar stores have had in other market towns. The people of Hadleigh have been correct all along in their campaigns to Save our High Street and ensure that Tesco take their Hands Off Hadleigh. Jan Byrne

Hadleigh Airfield Until recently, if you drove to Ipswich from Hadleigh via Station Road, after passing Pond Hall and climbing the hill, on the left you would see two wooden chalet bungalows, called No1 and No 2 Aerodrome cottages. To the North of these cottages the flat area bounded to the North by woodland was a ‘Forward Operating Base’ for The Royal Flying Corps in the First World War. However, in 1926, due to the enthusiasm of an ex RFC bomber pilot, Courtney M Prentice, by now a successful businessman in Stowmarket, the Suffolk (and Eastern Counties) Aeroplane Club was formed. In February 1927 the Club bought its first aeroplane, a Blackburn Bluebird soon followed by three more aircraft. In 1928 an Easter Air Display was arranged, the programme for which encouraged potential pilots to learn to fly ‘which would enable you to fly to Australia in 16 days – for fifty five pounds!’ The Club grew rapidly and became a feature in the air calendar of the somewhat exclusive world of private flying. The Hon Lady Bailey of Leeds Castle in Kent agreed to become president and would attend meetings flying in with her friend Mrs De Thailand, whose husband subsequently designed the first jet airliner The 1929 Kings Cup Air race used Hadleigh airfield as a turning point with judges appointed from club members, whilst in the same year an air taxi service was started from Hadleigh to Cambridge, new clubhouses having been completed to provide a suitable terminal at both locations. The Club was sufficiently well established to be asked to run the new Ipswich Airport. On 26th June 1930 on its completion the Club moved there after having sold its Hadleigh clubhouse and hanger to Ipswich Borough Council, for re-erection at Ipswich. The hanger was demolished relatively recently when Ipswich Borough decided to turn the airport into a housing estate, depriving the town and the area of a much-needed facility in the modern world. However, dependent on one’s point of view matters could have been better or worse, for in 1919 a far sighted government committee was considering internal air routes and those to the continent in which Hadleigh featured, along with Hounslow (London), Filton (Bristol), Sheffield, North Shotwick (Liverpool), Doncaster, Newcastle and Edinburgh. So Hadleigh nearly became another Stansted! John Bloomfield

Fidelis Activity News That’s The Way To Do It so said Mr Punch in such a weird kazoosounding voice that it made his audience laugh. His onlookers were not a crowd of kids on the beach but a roomful of ladies in the middle of Hadleigh. Long time puppeteer or ‘Punchman’, Peter Battey, came with his work place and props, packed in several bags, to share his trade secrets with members of Fidelis. He deftly re-constructed the familiar booth, showed how all the colourful characters were carved out of wood and demonstrated the use of the ‘swazzle’ to create Punch’s strange voice. He also explained the origins of the Punch & Judy show and displayed the many participating characters. These were hung round the inside of the booth ready to be used. Once the stage was set Peter stood in the booth and gave a brief performance of the traditional show complete with slapstick and crocodile. It wasn’t very long before he had the audience responding to his puppets’ antics with gusto and laughter. Peter Battey performs inside the Some Like it Hotter the icons of Punch & Judy booth highly acclaimed film ‘Some Like it Hot’ re-appear on stage in an afterlife setting, specifically in a sort of limbo between real life and wherever we might move on to eventually when we are ready. Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon were all there together with Charlie a fan of the film. The cast sing, dance and play several instruments to transport Charlie through life changing experiences. Although the play deals with one fan and one movie on a broader level it’s about fantasy and reality: how we’d like life to be, how it really is and how we deal with that. As ever, it was a polished production with an impressive display of talent especially from Monroe’s look alike. Lunch Bunchers Go Veggie It makes a change for vegetarians to be spoilt for choice on a menu. At the Red Lion Veggie Pub it’s their birthday everyday. However, with such imaginative dishes on offer, there is always something to tempt even the most hardened meat eaters. A large group of ‘ladies who lunch’ had a most enjoyable meal there just recently. In a cosy relaxed setting there was plenty of time to chat and eat and marvel at the chef’s creativity with nonmeat products. Desserts were not a problem as they seem to transcend dietary preferences. Jan Devey

. . . cce e...

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard and Brenda on board M V Black Watch I am so lucky that every day Maria has a meal prepared for me which I enjoy in the Great Hall at the Gibbons’ residence. Apparently, TV suppers are all the rage especially as one can now get a meal in a carton ready to be heated-up. Maria had a night off recently and so I bought a dinner from a Chinese restaurant that one could take away – everything was in tin foil boxes. I gather that the hoi poloi do this all the time but what fun. Well in May trunks were packed and the household joined M V Black Watch at Harwich for a voyage to the Fjords. What a joy to be able to travel without flying which can be such a strain on the arms. Frank brought the car round to the dockside where the Commodore greeted us but there were charabancs for owner-drivers and those arriving on the boat train. Our ship was in today’s terms quite small at 30,000 tons but that enabled us to steam through Fjords surrounded by beautiful mountainous terrain with gushing waterfalls. I enjoyed a breathtaking trip on a train up a mountain at Flaam. We had a splendid time on board and the picture shows my mother Brenda and I en route to a formal night with the Captain. As always, we enjoyed wonderful cuisine and I passed many an hour in the swimming pool soaking up the sun that beamed down most of the time. It was quite eerie that it was still light as I stepped along the Promenade Deck at just before midnight. There were a number of local people on board including several of you my dear readers who kindly introduced themselves. I think that the High Street is busier than it was in the depths of winter. Readers call me to say that prices in the High Street on many items are competitive. It seems to me that the Town is now more than adequately served with supermarkets. It would be quite preposterous that Tesco should be permitted. Take every opportunity to let your views be known. I believe that our clients find their visits to see us to be pleasurable. We always discuss all sorts of things as well as the business in hand. The local property market seems to be buoyant. You should not be tempted into entering peculiar arrangements to achieve a sale with a view to saving Stamp Duty Land Tax or assisting a Buyer to obtain a mortgage that he would not otherwise qualify to receive. These are not arrangements that we can entertain. Time and again I hear of people who do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney and upon losing capacity their affairs cannot be immediately managed. Why not ask us to prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney for you. Howard Gibbons

Plumb Mate are pleased to announce the opening of their brand new on Crockatt lane Industrial estate. Having opened originally in Ipswich back in Oct 2006 three and a half years later in January 2010 they opened their Hadleigh branch to enable them to offer a better service to the customer base that they had built up in Hadleigh and the surrounding area and then a small depot in Felixstowe in October 2011. Plumb Mate do not just service their trade customers but all are welcome to purchase any plumbing, heating or bathroom materials whether it be a tap washer to a complete heating system or bathroom suite. There is a wealth of experience through out the company with many of their staff members having joined the plumbing merchant industry on leaving school so however simple or complicated your task may be there should be someone on hand or at the end of a phone to help you find a solution. Del and Ian having previously worked for a national chain of plumbers merchants in managerial positions for over 20 years were becoming continually desk bound which increasingly prevented them from concentrating on the customer care and service and hands on approach they strived to offer. Opening Plumb Mate has enabled them to do just this. With one example of this ending in Ian opening the doors on Boxing day to enable a customer to purchase a new central heating boiler to replace one that had broken down late on Christmas day. With addition to the new showroom in Hadleigh Plumb Mate also have a Bathroom showroom at their Ipswich Branch which is currently in the process of updating a display area to show easy access showering but still with the WOW factor of a modern shower room. This will be complete late July. We also offer bathroom CAD design to help you choose and make the best use of the room available. This service has been found to be evermore popular as the customer get to see an extreme realistic view of what there bathroom will look like when complete. This kind of product is often charged for but is free of charge at Plumb Mate. We at Plumb Mate also try to use as many local services for their needs. Ian says “we as a company have always tried to source our business needs locally as this helps the local community to thrive”. “We are a family run business like many other local firms so we feel this ethos is the correct one to have”. We are open Mon-Fri 7.00am to 5.30am Sat 8.00am to 12.00 noon Tel 01473 810 088 Fax: 01473 810 055 www.plumbmateltd.co.uk sales@plumbmateltd.co.uk

Lloyd was formerly a professional golfer, touring mainly in the USA back in the 1990’s, whilst Jessica has always been involved in catering. Jessica is also a qualified chef and has taught Health and Hygiene as part of one of her managerial roles. After running a very successful pub overseas they returned back to the UK and chose the Bell Inn for its unique location and beautiful setting in the village of Kersey. They offer a traditional pub menu, such as homemade steak and stilton pie, steak and kidney pudding, beer battered fish and chips and liver and bacon and much more, all proving very popular with their customers. There are always daily specials and of course a delicious Sunday roast. Lloyd takes particular pride in his handling of his traditional cask ales, with a local selection always available.

Postman Pat and his black & white Cat! Richard Pearce of Semer with son Martin took part in the Numball Rally Robin Challenge raising money on behalf of Breast Cancer Care which is a fantastic charity that provides support for anyone that is affected by Breast Cancer. Richard and Martin have taken part in the Numball Rally 3 times previously and were thrilled to take part in the 2013 event with their trusted 41 year old Reliant Regal named 'Sir Douglas.' Previous challenges have seen the convoy of Robins travel to the Isle of Sky, Paris, Amsterdam and Wales. 'Sir Douglas', Richard and Martin left Semer and embarked on a total of 1320 miles in just five days. Leaving Essex with 10 other Robins this year was tasked with driving from Takeley in Essex to a tour of Ireland. Sir Douglas had an intensive 'makeover' with new seats fitted, new carpet throughout and had been sprayed bright red to take on the ‘role’ as Postman Pat’s van; and of course driven by Postman Pat accompanied by his black and white cat! This years route was the longest ever undertaken by the Robins and ‘Sir Douglas’ was the oldest Robin of the group and suffered no breakdowns or problems! Through money raised and Richard’s families combined charity events they have raised over £7,000 pounds for Breast Cancer. Please help raise money for a fantastic charity that is very close to many hearts; even a £1 will help this fantastic charity. Please donate at: www.justgiving.com/pearcenumballrally2013

New Hadleigh history book... 'Long Way From Home', a lively and touching World War II story about Hadleigh man Harry Hughes has been completed by Angela Lewis, who arrived in Hadleigh in early 1985 and now lives in Layham. Harry's personal journey took her several years to complete and involved extensive research and discussions with Harry and surviving colleagues. The memoirs have already proved popular with very positive feedback, and the book will now join the ranks of other local history books about the town and its people.

It has been a very interesting month. The County are very keen that its Councillors take as full a role as possible in running the County - so yours truly has been busy learning the job. Of course one can still get a glimpse of the other planets that some people seem to inhabit. One of these astronomical events occurred when the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding National Beauty (AONB) Management Plan 2013-2018 came before Cabinet for approval and adoption. This is a well written document and was presented by Councillor David Wood, Chairman of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB Partnership. Suffolk gives £66,000 to the partnership and Babergh also makes a contribution. I raised the issue that at some point a well written document of about sixty pages was handed over to the design consultants who proceeded to add thirty pages of photographs and other illustrations. Whilst I could understand such artistic creativity if we were promoting a tourist brochure, it struck me that here was a classic extravagance bordering upon a total waste of money. Councillor Wood told us that the design was done in house and that design consultants were not used. He did not tell us the role of Spring Design & Advertising Ltd who are credited with the design and production of the plan. What he did say was that the production of the plan did not come out of the monies provided by the County. It came from Defra (Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs). Management plans are all about Management. (The clue is in the title). They do not need photographs. They may need maps and graphs but we do not need money wasted on fripperies. It all comes out of the same pocket - the taxpayers. The report can be viewed and downloaded from http://www.suffolkcoastandheaths.org/about-us/aonbmanagement-plan/. Be careful about printing the maps on pages eleven and twelve in greyscale. It makes the coast seem to be under water. Did I say that Councillor Wood was Leader of the Liberal Democrat and Independent Group at County and a Babergh District Councillor? Leopards do not change their spots and these people regard spending other people’s money in extravagant ways as a God given right. Thank goodness they did not get a majority in May. Meanwhile on Planet Babergh, the District Councillors are shortly being called on to approve the Collective Agreement on Employment Terms, Conditions and Policies. Towards the end of the summary of staff benefits we find that parking available to staff at the Council office car parks will be free of charge. There is no way I will vote for this. The residents and visitors to Hadleigh pay for their parking, whether they are in employment or not. The same should apply to the employees at Babergh. Are noses being thumbed? Finally, please check out my blog http://abwfh.com for updates on the Quarry.

These are Gotelees Solicitors and the newest shop to open on the High Street, at number 24; Labels to Love. There are now 30 businesses in the scheme.

Pause for Thought The use of language is continually changing. Sentences now start with 'basically...’, or 'obviously...' when it is neither basic or obvious! My least favourite is 'like'. We were 'like' walking', so, doing something similar to walking: running, or skipping perhaps? No, just a word that is thrown in without any thought. Similar to the words 'God' and 'Jesus'? How many times during the week do we say 'Thank God'. Are we really thanking Him? Jesus was very careful about the language He used. When He said 'I am the Good Shepherd' the people He was speaking to understood what He meant. 'I am' is how God describes Himself in the Old Testament (the section of the Bible about the time before Jesus was born), and His listeners understood He was telling them He was God, not 'like' God but actually God. Next time you say 'Oh My God!' or text 'OMG' why not stop and think, is He your God? Do you really know Him? Do you consider Him when you say His name or is it just like another word? Pastor Greg did a teaching series on the seven times Jesus said 'I am …' .You can hear these at http://hadleighbaptist.org.uk/Media/AllMedia.aspx (various dates 22/7/12 – 09/09/12) Pam Sanderson

Nevelli Designer Home Heating It is fair to say that when decorative radiators first arrived on the scene, they were something of a novelty and were not expected to be energy efficient plus they were also expensive to buy. Today, the new fashionable and modern decorative/designer radiator and towel rails has arrived when home improvements and decor has become an important preoccupation for homeowners. As a result, what were once thought of as purely functional rooms in the home, are now showcases of taste and self expression with the introduction of modern designer radiators and towel rails which match the major investments of kitchen cabinetry, bathroom sanitary ware and home furnishings. Decorative radiator design has now moved from bathroom and kitchen areas to every room in the house and with more and more people striving to achieve individuality and style to suit their homes and life style, whether it be a contemporary look to a more classical period look, Nevelli Designer Home Heating have many different models for all tastes and design. Vertical models are a great option now and these come in a large range of decorative styles, and have the twin virtue of providing a sizeable heat output without taking up a large wall space. Instead they fit into a far narrower footprint, leaving plenty of room for other home furnishings. The contemporary radiators create the perfect focal point to suit any room of the most diverse of styles while the classical period radiators create an appearance of luxury and grandeur and can create an exquisite centre piece. The concept of towel rails for the bathroom now arrive in not just chrome and white, but virtually any colour including black which is now becoming a popular choice today. Quality and design are essential in today’s home design requirements and here at Nevelli the choice of models is wide and varied and the prices are affordable. So why not add a little sparkle to your home 12 High Street, Hadleigh, Suffolk IP7 5AP Tel/Fax: 01473 828914 Email: nevelli@virgin.net www.nevellidesignerradiators.co.uk

Hadleigh Show 2013 Family Focus a hit and Food’s on film This year’s Hadleigh Show was another resounding success with praise rolling in for smooth running of the event as a result of the improved layout of the ground, trouble-free parking and minimal traffic congestion, and with more people than ever buying tickets in advance, there was noticeably reduced queuing at the entrances, even at peak times. Online ticket sales and advance purchasing was significantly up on last year accounting for around 20% of overall sales. The Food Hall featured almost a third more food producers showcasing the best of East Anglian produce. These new exhibitors were in addition to 40 new Trade Stands and a number of new sponsors. The Art Show, trialling the introduction of credit card facilities, had its busiest year to date with sales up over 16%. The response to the day has been phenomenal with positive feedback from competitors, exhibitors and sponsors such as: “This year the repositioning of some events/increased size of some stands/ activities and educational opportunities for youngsters made the Show even more enjoyable for us.” ; “The consensus view was that the new livestock arrangements were better, safer and the public saw the head end of the beasts! Also I must say the friendliness and professionalism of the marshals and stewards is really an extra attraction.”; “A terrific day out today .....plenty of good quality and honest food sources, an excellent countryside and farming atmosphere and people

clearly enjoying meeting up and having conversations with each other.”; “We had a very successful day in terms of trading, and were really delighted to be a part of such a great event.” and The layout of the show was excellent and fine hats and bowlers off to you all – very well done!”. A strong programme which reflected a focus on “Families & Farming” was the inspiration of this year’s Show Director and young mother Clare Lock. Clare was so determined to bring families into the spotlight that she featured her two four-year old twins in the promotional adverts for the Show. “Of course the Show remains essentially a traditional agricultural show but what makes this area so great for farming is the strength and longevity of key families who have kept rural businesses and tradition for generations. This year I just wanted to recognise the role of families and to make sure we had plenty of attractions for the younger members of our community.” The new family friendly features such as the “Land Train” with its stopping stages around the showground and the “Passport Challenge” in which children got their card stamped at identified locations before returning to the Membership Tent and a chance to win one of 250 goody bags, proved quite a draw. A welcome surprise for the organisers was an opportunity to shine the spotlight on our local cattle farmers and food producers when a request came in to film at the show. As a result, this year’s Hadleigh Show will feature in one of the five 30 minute programmes made by Alchemy TV: Todiwala and Singh: The Incredible Spice Men. In the programme, to be aired on BBC 2 in August, the two chefs, Cyrus Todiwala and Tony Singh, who are on a mission to convince Britain to wake up to the versatility of spices and exotic ingredients, visit the Hadleigh Show to meet local food producers, feed people some spiced-up strawberries, and watch the cattle classes. We are hoping that the Editors are sufficiently impressed by our bowler-hatted Stewards and showpreened Red Poll, that there will be sufficient footage to remind us all what a truly great day we all had. As soon as we know the exact date the Show is to be on screen, we will post it on the website: www.hadleighshow.co.uk For all this fame, it must not be forgotten that the Hadleigh Show is the biggest fundraising event to be organised annually by the Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association (HFAA). In spite of its size, it is not a commercial venture and surplus proceeds from the Show go to local charities. Unusually, this year, a decision was made prior to the event to make a £1000 donation to the Hill Farmers through RABI www.rabi.org.uk for all the hardship they have and continue to endure with the livestock losses from the bad weather. Finally, a few expressions of thanks. The show is run by volunteers, too numerous to mention individually but their continued support and involvement is very much valued and appreciated. Hadleigh’s largest and longest-standing annual community event is made possible by the generous support of Mrs Robert Holden, who each year allows the Show to be held on her land at Holbecks Park. We are grateful to Mrs Holden’s continued patronage and we also thank this year’s Show Director Clare Lock who now hands over the baton to Paul Gillies to start preparations for next year’s show to be held on Saturday 17th May 2013. Save the date for your diary! For further information contact: Janie Barbiaux, Secretary HFAA, Tel: 07971 107644 E: secretary@hadleighshow.co.uk

The School Council next to the new play equipment. Last month saw the culmination of the 2 year European funded Comenius Project, with colleagues from our partner schools in Scotland, France, Sweden, Norway, Holland and the Netherlands visiting us. Comenius projects aim to develop knowledge and understanding among young people and education staff of the diversity of European cultures and languages. They aim to help young people to acquire basic life skills and competences for their personal development, for future employment and for active European citizenship. The focus for our project has been the work that goes on in Early Years education (Nursery and Reception classes). Here at Beaumont we feel privileged to have excellent Nursery and Reception classes and we were able to share our good practice with our European neighbours. Our guests were really impressed with the high quality of provision demonstrated and the friendly welcome given by our children. Mad Science’s Professor Kaos made another appearance at Beaumont to launch our Science week with a bang. The theme for the week was ‘Forces and Motion’. The children enjoyed seeing the professor set fire to various materials in the hall and experimenting on brave volunteers from the audience! In the afternoon workshops the children became aeronautical engineers designing their own paper aeroplanes and learning about the forces involved in flight. The day ended spectacularly with the professor launching 2 rockets 400 feet into the sky from the school field. The science didn’t stop there, the children carried on all week carrying out experiments and investigations in their classes. Their brilliant work was then shared with the rest of the school in a special Science assembly on Friday. The school exhibited in the schools tent at this year’s very successful Hadleigh Show. Our display incorporated ICT work and written work in a range of forms. The work had been inspired by a recent visit to Wolves Wood. The children’s skilful and thoughtful work obviously caught the judge’s eye who award the display a ‘Highly Commended’. Summer term is usually a busy time for school visits, with classes making the most of the better weather! Our youngest class the Busy Bears nursery enjoyed a visit to Hollowtrees farm. The children had a fabulous day at the farm where they encountered many different types of farm animals and found out about the various plants and wild animals surrounding the farm. It was a great opportunity for the children to see, meet and feed the animals. Half term saw the eagerly awaited installation of new play equipment and all weather play surface on what was an area of rough grass on the front playground. The school council were heavily involved in the design of the play equipment from day one, so it seemed fitting that they were the first children to ‘test’ the new equipment. All the children are now enjoying the new facility, which has been designed to encourage imaginative, as well as adventurous play. At the same time a new piece of play equipment was installed in the nursery outside area, which has also proved a hit with the younger children. The official opening of the playground, which will take place next term, will mark the 10 year anniversary of the opening of the school.

The Hadleigh & District Twinning Association The Hadleigh & District Twinning Association has set another date for the Line Dance event which had to be cancelled in March due to extreme blizzard conditions. Hopefully there will be no chance of this happening in July! It will be in the Ansell Hall on Saturday 27th July at 7.30pm. Tickets are £6 each from The Framestore, 3 High St, Hadleigh, 822334. Drinks are not included so please bring your own. We are then having a summer break but will be back in the autumn with wine tasting, a race night and a whist drive so check the diary listings for details or contact our secretary Jane on 828392.

Refurbished Hadleigh Bar and Restaurant Re-Opens A Hadleigh bar has re-opened with a trio of siblings at the helm and a dramatic new look. The Macmillan family has taken on the Ram on Market Place, Hadleigh. Lorna Macmillan and her brothers Oliver and Ian are the new tenants at the Greene King bar and restaurant. The trio also run Long Melford pub the Swan, which they took over in 2011. The Ram has been extensively refurbished and re-opened on Friday 24 May, with a strong focus on delivering an extensive fresh food menu. Lorna, who lives locally, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have thoroughly enjoyed growing the business at the Swan and are all very excited about this new venture at the Ram. It is a wonderful place which is looking fantastic since the refurbishment. We have been careful that improvement works modernise the interior while remaining sympathetic to the character of the building.â&#x20AC;? The refurbishment has transformed the interior, with improved dĂŠcor and furnishings. To ensure better accessibility for customers, the bar, which previously ran through the centre of the building, has been entirely moved. Lorna commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving the bar has been the most dramatic change and has really opened the place up. We have had to build the new bar around some of the beautiful old beams, but it looks brilliant, especially with pump clips sandwiched between beams, and it is much more practical for customers.â&#x20AC;? The Ram is informally split into three different areas and dogs will be welcome in the lower bar section. Back of house more space has been created in the kitchen. Oliver Macmillan is executive chef and leads on menu development. The Ram receives a fresh delivery of produce every morning which influences the menuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily specials. Oliver said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our food is mainly British cuisine with a French twist, using local produce where possible, something that is really important to us. Food is a big part of what we offer at the Swan and we are keen to replicate this passion for great food at the Ram.â&#x20AC;? Some development work at the Ram will continue until the beginning of July, when the team will unveil a new function room, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Crookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Intended for private parties and business meetings, the room also benefits from a lobby area where canapĂŠs and reception drinks can be served. The team offer to create a bespoke menu for customers using the function room, and parties also enjoy a dedicated waiter throughout their event. The courtyard area is also being landscaped and will open shortly. Telephone 01473 822880 info@thehadleighram.co.uk

We’d like to introduce ourselves to you. We are Phil and Angie Woodend and we have moved to Hadleigh with our three children to make a fresh start and to bring our knowledge and expertise to the pub. We are no strangers to the trade having previously run The Kings Head in East Bergholt for the last 19 years. We were looking for a new challenge and to buy our own premises and we were won over by the Hart’s sunny location overlooking the cricket field, with the plan to buy the pub in the near future. We want to make it more of a traditional pub that does good home cooked food at reasonable prices. All our food on the menu is cooked by Phil and ranges from baguettes and sandwiches to a menu that includes starters of mini crab cakes and pate to main courses that include lasagne and duck breast with plum sauce, desserts are also available and include chocolate brownie and caramel apple tart. We also serve a roast on Sunday lunchtimes. We’d like to thank everyone that has already made us feel very welcome, it feels like home already, and we look forward to welcoming you.

Save Cox’s Park A short update this month. We are still waiting for a date for the public consultation on the proposed new planning application for East House. The Babergh press release at the time the original application was withdrawn did not categorically state that the park was "saved", so until such time as we hear this we continue to assume that the park is still under threat. In the meantime, we have been having conversations with the Town Council and the other political ‘leaders’ in Hadleigh to ask them to advocate on our behalf. All the Hadleigh based politicians we've spoken to so far do not want to see the park lost and seem to understand the feeling of people in Hadleigh in a way that Babergh District Council clearly do not. We are planning some further action shortly to make the case for keeping the park so please watch out for that. Our website is http://coxsparkhadleigh.tumblr.com/ Importantly please keep your eyes open for when the public consultation happens and go along and express your views. Last year the planning application was advertised in the school holidays which meant lots of people missed that the park was at risk, we do not want to miss anything this time round. Oh, and please get in touch via our email savecoxsparkhadleigh@gmail.com that way we can let you know when important news comes up.

NOW OPEN! Quality New and Nearly New Children’s Clothing from 0 – 10 Years We Sell Zara, Joules, Boden, Next, Gap, Jasper Conran and Many More Brands. 22 High Street, Hadleigh IP7 5AP Tel 07584 469227

Kersey Mill Newsletter As another month passes at the mill there is little let up on the finds made, discoveries keep rolling in and the team are ever more excited by it all. Recently, the specialist in watermills and mill wright, Vincent Pargeter spent a day looking at the wheel and the existing sluice gate. His opinion is that the existing set up is a bodge by an earlier owner or miller cutting back on maintenance of the mill. Vincent suggested that the team replace the remains of the bodged gate and replace with one that Whitmore of Wickham Market engineered for the mill soon after it opened. Whitmore & Binyon later went on to install a steam engine alongside the waterwheel running an additional 3 pairs of stones. Vincent went on to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;The curved cast-iron plate and the concrete work beyond should follow fairly accurately the circumference of the wheel, and have a clearance of about one inch from it. I feel that the wheel will be under-powered if the gap is greater. It takes a fair amount of power to drive even one pair of millstones, and if the water is low in the summer, it can soon be used up.â&#x20AC;? The work to be carried out is going to be time consuming but we hope that some progress will be made by the time the open day arrives at the end of June. The process involves the filling of the trough formed under the wheel caused by erratic water flow and lack of maintenance. With the help of Vincent, Chris Hulcoop and Mark Barnard worked up a plan of action to get the waterwheel floor reinstated and the repair of the sluice gates. Sketches were provided and a team put together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then the fun began. A massive tree that had been placed across the tail race was the first obstacle to remove. Being sodden over the years it was not the lightest to remove yet we did so. The result was better than anyone could have hoped for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 12 inch reduction in the depth of water entering the wheel channel. We then put in stop boards to further arrest the flow of water under the wheel before beginning to pump out the remaining water which we did to wader height. Great â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we thought. Then we discovered that the pit was below the water tableâ&#x20AC;ŚPanic. The plan was to drain the wheel channel of all water and cement a new wheel guide to allow the wheel to turn with little water to flow under. Cement does not set under waterâ&#x20AC;Śor does it. And this is when the next team of specialists joined the team. With the help of a local builder Richard Dyer of Academy Builders who has worked on projects with underwater concrete and an engineer from EuroMix we began to form the next part of our plan. With many huffs and umms the plan was drawn up to form the curvature very close to that of the wheel in concrete. A sump was used to draw the water out for most of the area and the former made up to cast the concrete in the Euromix of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we are told â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 50 Newton to 50 Slumpâ&#x20AC;Śyou see we never leave the interesting stuff out do we! So the chain gang of Paul Cuthbert, Gary Bond, Gary Barnes, Callum Davies got to work and in no time at all the cast was full of the concrete. So we waitedâ&#x20AC;Śevery two hours checking the pump and water levelsâ&#x20AC;Śsleepless nightsâ&#x20AC;Śand the eventual outcome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it worked. Kegan Jay and George made the most of the better weather and carried out some repairs to the slate roof. Not one for heights myself! Whilst they were up there they took this photo of the view. That done the next stage is to start work on the buckets of the wheel that we shall be showing photographs of in the next newsletterâ&#x20AC;Śhappy reading and happy summer from all at the mill.

All Councillors confirmed they were happy to continue with their respective roles. • New Suffolk County Councillor. Councillor Gordon Jones, who had replaced David Yorke-Edwards as Suffolk CC’s representative, attended the meeting. He said he felt strongly that the National Grid power lines to be fed through the Brett Valley should be underground, as had already been agreed for the Stour and Box Valleys; he expressed his willingness to lend his support to the working group. • Telephone boxes. It was agreed that a small working party would repaint the telephone box in Lower Layham during the coming month. • Accounts. The accounts for the year ended 31.3.13 were approved and the annual Return would be sent to SALC for internal audit, before going to BDO for external audit. • Emergency Planning. Work was progressing with developing a communications ‘tree’ and the working group continued to meet regularly. • Community Lunch. The next Community Lunch would be held during July – date to be confirmed. • Planning. There were no objections to applications in respect of 2 Orchard Cottages and Hillside, both in Upper Street. However, councillors had concerns about access and traffic issues relating to applications from Raworth Bungalow and Raworth Park. • Armed Forces Day. Following a request from the Ministry of Defence that Councils should fly a flag during the weeks either side of Armed Forces Day on 29 June, it was agreed that a flag should be purchased and flown from St Andrew’s Church tower. • Closure of Post Office. Layham Post Office, which had operated from 37 Brett Green for many years, would close at 1pm on Tuesday 30 July as Marion Hughes had decided to retire as Sub-Postmistress.

Coffee Mornings On Mondays 1st and 15th July we are holding a Coffee Morning at St Andrew's from 11 am to 1 pm. Any queries contact Sonia on 822220 or Christine on 810171. Please do come along for a chat, a piece of cake and a cup of coffee.

Armed Forces Day Armed Forces day was 29th June this year with the weeks either side of that being a time for activities around the land. The purpose is to raise public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. It also gives the nation an opportunity to show support for the men and women who make up the armed forces community: from currently serving troops to service families and from veterans to cadets. In Layham you may have noticed the distinctive flag flying from the flag mast on the tower of St Andrew’s Church. Glance up as you pass by - it will be there until 6 July.

The Essex and Suffolk Free Press of 24 March 1920 contains a report on an inquest held at The Queen’s Head Inn, Layham as to the sad death of William George Oxford (72). Mrs Edith Oxford, wife of Alfred Oxford, agricultural labourer (who is the deceased’s son), said her father-in-law had been ill most of the winter, but on February 24th, about a quarter past four, she saw him in the middle of the road where she stood facing him. She heard a bicycle bell rung. Her father-inlaw was knocked down but she did not see the cyclist touch him. Witnesses raised him up, laid him down and went for help. The road was rough. Dr. Everett came at once. Witnesses spoke to her father-in-law but he did not know how the mishap happened. Bertie Arthur Garrod, roadman, living at Layham, said he saw deceased knocked down. He was standing in the middle of the road. Witnesses heard a bicycle bell and thought Mr Dipnall tried to get between deceased and a woman, but deceased took a step forward, and Mr Dipnall tried to get behind him, and witnesses thought that Mr Dipnall hit him with his shoulder and knocked him down. Mr Dipnall was going at a fair pace – not fast. He had his bicycle under control. Witness considered Mr Dipnall was a careful rider. Witness thought if deceased had stood still Mr Dipnall would have avoided him. Mr Thomas Dipnall, seedgrower, Overbury Hall, Layham, said that he was coming from Shelley. When he got to the corner witness saw deceased and three women in the road. The women got to his right side of the road, and the old man stood still. Witness thought he was going to the left edge. He was to the left of the middle of the road. Then Mrs Oxford came towards him, just before witness was going to pass on his right. He hesitated, took a step back again, and in trying to go round him witness ‘cleared him with his bicycle but hit him with his shoulder.’ Witness, who was going slowly, fell down, but was unhurt. Witness could have stopped. Dr Hastings F.Everett, of Hadleigh, said he had attended deceased for some months before the mishap. Witness saw him in bed on February 24th. He had bruises on his head, arms and legs. He was thoroughly shaken. He had been very ill all winter. He was very feeble and mentally slow. He became worse and died. The Coroner (Mr T Wilson) recorded a verdict that the deceased died from bronchitis, and his death was accelerated by the shock, due to being knocked down by a bicycle, ridden by Mr Thomas Heath Dipnall, on February 24th at Layham.

It is interesting to reflect upon the fact that in the 1920s rural roads in Suffolk were not surfaced as they are today, nor would they have seen much traffic other than horse drawn vehicles. People of the age of William Oxford would have spent a lifetime walking the rough tracks serving their village and would not have given much thought to ‘traffic avoidance’! The 1911 Census shows William living on Turner’s Hill, Layham. At the time there was just one building on that hill (now known for postal reasons as Stoke Road). It is still there and is called ‘Turner’s Cottage’. The scene of the accident – the junction of Shelley Road and Lower Street – was just 50 yards from his home.

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 Playgroup The children have been very busy in our wonderful new garden. We have been making the most of the sunshine and have been outside planting seeds. The children have planted some different textured and scented plants which we hope will attract some different insects, especially our very own caterpillars that we are watching grow. They started off very small but we have seen them get bigger and bigger until they made their cocoons. Hopefully it won’t be too long now until we can see them come out as beautiful butterflies, and can release them into our garden. We have also made our very own gardens by planting different herbs that the children have taken home to watch grow. They will enjoy looking at them as well as smelling their different aromas. Whilst in our garden the children noticed that we have some new neighbours in the field next door. We are enjoying looking at the new cows, as the picture shows. Growing Following on from our trip to Hollow Trees Farm where we planted some wheat, we have taken the process further by looking at what we can get from wheat. We talked about the flour which we helped to grind at the farm, and used it to make some bread. The children loved being involved in the process and especially enjoyed to help eat it. Keeping with the bread theme, we also tasted lots of different breads from around the world and compared their sizes, shapes and textures. Our Ladybirds sessions take place every Wednesday from 9.30am11.00am, please come and join us for lots of fun and friendly faces.

Any Other Business The Chair reported the e.mailed response received from Babergh District Council following Councillor Grandon’s report at the last Town Council Meeting relating to the changes to the constitution. It was agreed that the Clerk would e.mail Babergh to find out when the communication strategy will come into place and why Hadleigh Town Council had not been advised of the proposed changes relating to planning issues. The Clerk advised that a letter had been sent to Christine Thurlow but no reply had been received to date. The Clerk advised that a letter had been sent to the Chief Executive of Babergh District Council regarding the removal of an independent Councillor from the Development Committee and had received no reply to date. It was agreed that the Clerk write again on both of these items requesting a response and also ask Councillor Grandon to pursue the matters on the Town Council’s behalf. Regarding car parks the Chair reported that it would appear that there are going to be no changes to car parking arrangements in the near future. Babergh District Council Officers have been attending the meetings and have taken back ideas on streamlining management and staffing of the car parks. It was felt that there had been a positive outcome from the meetings that had been held with Sudbury Town Councillors and Babergh Officers. Councillor Byrne reported that Tendring residents have all received a sticker for their cars and receive free car parking. At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow the members of the public to speak on a proposed development. The Chair advised them that Hadleigh Town Council were pleased to have been included in their consultation and would be happy to meet with them in the future following agreement of Babergh District Council’s Core Strategy.

Approval was recommended (Voting was Unanimous) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The Chair reported that she and the Town Clerk had met with Lyndsey Barker of Babergh District Council who provided ideas on how Hadleigh Town Council could proceed. It was felt that a public meeting should be held in the Autumn to obtain residents suggestions. Aldeburgh Town Council is going down the road of producing a Town Plan which is being run by residents not Councillors who came forward at a successful town meeting. The Clerk has been asked to contact Aldeburgh Town Clerk to arrange a meeting to discuss with them if this was an option Hadleigh Town Council could take up. MARKET PLACE TREE Mr. C. Moran of Babergh District Council had tendered his apologies but would be happy to meet with Town Council representatives in the future to discuss the proposed replacement for the Market Place Tree which had been cut down in error. It was agreed that the Town Clerk, Councillors Cook and Haylock and a representative from the Chamber of Commerce attend this meeting. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The Committee had been provided with information about a proposed residential development in the public adjournment. The Chair felt it was important that the residents left the meeting knowing that the Town Council would carry on informal discussions concerning the plan. ANY OTHER BUSINESS An e.mail had been sent to Ben Elvin of Babergh District Council regarding the Eight Bells Public House Sign which had been changed without planning permission being obtained and this was being investigated. The Clerk was asked to e.mail again advising that the internal alterations may need to be investigated at the same time. Councillor Byrne asked the Town Clerk to investigate the Black Poplar on Toppesfield Gardens which has been heavily pollarded. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.33pm Report of the Planning Committee Meeting held on the 16th May 2013 Present: Councillors: Lazenby (Town Mayor), Angland (Deputy Town Mayor), Byrne, Cook, Free, Haylock, Matthews, L. Munson and Nevard Chairman Councillor Cook was elected to serve as Chairman of the Committee for the ensuing year. Finance & Personnel Committee Councillor Cook was elected as the Committee’s representative for the ensuing year. Report of the Planning Committee Meeting held on the 6th June 2013 Present: Councillors: Cook (Chair), Amin, Angland (Deputy Town Mayor), Byrne, Free, Haylock, Lazenby (Town Mayor), Matthews, L. Munson, Nevard, Sheldrick and Whiting. In attendance: 3 members of the public VICE-CHAIRMAN Councillor Angland was elected to serve as Vice-Chair of the Committee for the ensuing year and signed the Declaration of Office Book. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 9th May 2013 and 16th May 2013 were confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING – from the Minutes of the 9th May 2013 B/12/00891/DPA & B/12/00892/LBC East House, George Street. No information has been received regarding the public consultation on East House. Any Other Business The Clerk reported that she was in receipt of a letter from Babergh District Council reiterating the information given to Councillor Grandon. Details of the District Council’s communication strategy were still awaited. Car Parking The Chair reported on the meetings that had been held with members of Sudbury Town Council and Babergh District Council and reported the minutes as follows: “The Sudbury and Hadleigh Car Parking Group had a very productive meeting with Babergh District Council Officers. Significant progress has been made over the past year to consider more effective management of the car parks in Sudbury and Hadleigh. Whilst all stakeholders recognise the pressures we all face in the current financial climate, there was agreement that we should be considering the wider issues of ensuring the future health and vitality of our market towns and car parking is just one aspect of this and should not be considered in isolation. In the first instance, Babergh District will continue to manage the car parks in Sudbury and Hadleigh and undertake a comprehensive review of the current management and operation of the car parks to simplify and modernise the current systems and procedures, with the assistance of the key stakeholders, without any changes to the current charging structure. This will include consideration of residential car parking issues. Collectively, and in particular in consultation with the Sudbury and Hadleigh Car Parking Group we need to consider the strategic outcomes we want to achieve for our market towns, what the priorities are and then how we support and deliver these to ensure their future health and vitality. Part of this wider discussion will need to include the subsidy that is currently provided to support free short term parking and where this sits against other competing priorities.” Babergh District Council is considering the following points: • Where practical and possible all car parks become both short term and long term – this will give BDC some opportunity to generate income from all car parks.

• Free short term parking for up to 3 hours but consideration given to no return to any car park within specified time period (24 hrs?) unless payment is made for parking in excess of 3 hours. • Possibly no ticket required for short term parking – if a reliable, economic and workable automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system can be utilised there would be no need to issue short stay tickets making it more convenient and cost effective. • Ticket machines modified to provide tickets only for long stay making them simple to operate • Policies and procedures (operating rules) to be reviewed and revised • Minimise excess charging notices to apply to those who ‘genuinely’ abuse the system. • Reduce resources for wardening and back office • Consideration given to introduce residents parking scheme(s) to ‘encourage’ visitors/customers into the car parks and pay for long stay car parking where appropriate. Neighbourhood Plan There has been no progress made and it was felt that none would be made until after the Tesco application had been dealt with. Market Place Tree The meeting with Mr Moran of Babergh District Council is still to be arranged by the Town Clerk. Proposed Development The Chair asked all members that when questioned they should reassure members of the public that no planning application has been submitted and will not be until the Core Strategy has been finalised. Any Other Business No communication had been received regarding the Eight Bells sign or the Black Poplar tree. At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow the members of the public to speak on B/13/00075/FUL – 21 Long Bessels and on a forthcoming event to be held on the 22nd June 14.00 to 16.00 at Cox’s Park to celebrate National Picnic Week. Councillor Byrne requested that this area be given its correct name of Cock’s Field. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/13/00075/FUL 21 Long Bessels. Change of use and conversion of existing dwelling with 2(no) dwellings as amended by agent’s letter dated 1 May 2013 and amended block plan 2623/29B showing additional off street parking provision and letter dated 2 May 2013 with revised plans 2623/13A and 08.

Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/13/00529/FUL St. Mary’s Church, Church Walk. Provision of access ladders on nave roof at east end and access steps and handrail from nave to chancel roofs at north east corner of nave. The Committee noted that pre-application advice had been sought. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/13/00534/TCA 4 Church Street. Notification of works to trees in a Conservation Area – T1 Silver Birch, reduction of approx. 2m to manage its height.

Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) This was subject to the property being in keeping with the street scene and not exceed the height of the other

properties. Hadleigh Town Council would have preferred a smaller property providing more garden space. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. The Chair drew attention to B/13/00441/ADV/JP 112b High Street, Hadleigh – Application for Advertisement Consent – Replacement of 1 no. fascia sign and 1 no. hanging/projecting sign which had been granted by Babergh District Council and shows on their website that Hadleigh Town Council were consulted but this application was never received; an explanation has been requested but not received. Councillor Lazenby requested the Clerk to find out what the necessary improvements to the scheme requested by the District Council for B/13/00247/FUL/AS – Highcroft, Lady Lane and on which they had refused the application as Hadleigh Town Council had approved this application. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Chair reported that the Tesco application will be considered on the 4th July. It was agreed that she would speak on behalf of Hadleigh Town Council. The article in the EADT was reported where Peter Beer, chair of Babergh District Council’s Planning Committee, stated that the time given to speakers would increase from 3 to 5 minutes. It was disappointing once again that this information had been learnt through a press release and no communication had been received from Babergh advising Hadleigh Town Council of this change. The Chair felt that the way the changes to planning were being dealt with was unacceptable and requested the Town Clerk to arrange a meeting with Christine Thurlow to deal with these issues direct. Councillor Haylock reported that she had attended the SALC meeting on emergency flooding arrangements. Changes to planning arrangements and details appearing in the press rather than direct contact being made with Town and Parish Councils was raised. Unfortunately SALC would not be taking any action on this matter. The Chair reported e.mails received on the change of ownership of the Quarry from Tarmac to Buffalow Crow Limited. This situation would be monitored in case use of the quarry changed. Councillor Matthews advised that he had been in discussion with Councillor Riley in his capacity as County Councillor who was bringing the matter to the attention of the County Council. It was agreed that he would be asked for more information on this issue. The Chair reported a letter received on the Core Strategy and advised members to make their own representation should they feel it necessary. The Chair reported a meeting that had been held earlier with two residents on the future of Cock Field and how to progress the meadow being registered as Open Space. Time is running out as legislation is being discussed by Government and if this is passed the option to register Open Spaces will no longer exist. The two residents had asked that the Planning Committee recommend to Hadleigh Town Council that it makes a public statement on their support of this matter. The Town Clerk and the Chair have agreed that they will complete the form. It was agreed 8 votes for and 4 abstentions. Councillor Nevard reported that she had been approached to sign a petition against a petrol station on the Morrisons site. The Chair advised that no planning application has been submitted for a petrol station and no Councillor should sign the petition if asked. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.30pm. Report of the Hadleigh Town Council meeting held on the 16th May 2013 Present: Councillors M. Munson (Town Mayor), Angland, Byrne, Cook, Free, Haylock, Lazenby, Matthews, L. Munson and Nevard. In attendance: PC.

Nonattendee: Councillor Amin TOWN MAYOR On the proposition received at the previous meeting it was RESOLVED that Councillor Lazenby be and is hereby elected, Town Mayor to serve until the next Annual Meeting of the Council. At this point the Meeting was adjourned for a short period to enable the new Mayor to be robed and photographed. At the resumption, the newly installed Mayor, signed the Declaration of Acceptance of Office Book and, on behalf of the Council, thanked Councillor M. Munson for her work and efforts during her term of office and presented her with a past-mayors jewel. DEPUTY TOWN MAYOR On the proposition received at the previous meeting, it was RESOLVED that Councillor Angland be, and is hereby elected, Deputy Town Mayor to serve until the next Annual Meeting of the Council and signed the Declaration of Acceptance of Office Book.

Town Forum Representatives: This was dealt with under the next item TOWN FORUM The Town Clerk asked the Council that as the Town Forum was now mainly involved with putting on events for the town should it be renamed to reflect this change. Before this was decided it was felt that the Chamber of Commerce be consulted so that the two groups could come together to discuss aims, objectives and format to see if they could work under one umbrella to promote the Town. It was suggested that any decisions be postponed until an informal meeting has been arranged between the Town Forum and the Chamber of Commerce to agree a way forward. Councillor Byrne advised that a Craft and Christmas Fair had provisionally been booked and arrangements for these must carry on alongside any future meetings. Councillor Cook was happy to take on board the idea of the Craft Fair and Councillor Byrne advised that members of the Forum must be kept informed. It was recommended that a working group of Councillors Amin, Angland, Nevard and Byrne, along with Councillors Cook and Haylock being involved on a temporary basis, would run until a decision on the future of the Town Forum was agreed. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Council held on the 18th April 2013 were taken as read subject to the addition of “Hadleigh Town Council’s Archives” under Matters Arising - were confirmed and signed.

Of these 3

The Annual Meeting of the Town Forum was held on the 29th May 2013. At this meeting there were no Officers elected and therefore the Town Forum can no longer function. The Town Forum was responsible for organising certain events within the town. The Christmas Craft Fair will now be run by the Hadleigh Market Feoffment Charity and will be held on Sunday the 3rd November 2013.

had been detected. He advised that reported crimes had decreased over the past twelve months and that reports of Anti-Social Behaviour were done. He felt this proved that the police working with other agencies in the town was having a positive effect. There had been a large turnout for the marking of catalytic converter scheme and local garages will still be happy to mark these when a normal service or MOT is carried out. The zero-tolerance towards illegal parking along Benton Street had been successful and this would continue to be monitored. 31 parking tickets had been issued during April along the High Street. The Chief Constable had visited Hadleigh Police Station on two occasions now and was interested in crime prevention and being pro-active. He answered questions on under-age drinking; dog fouling and cars parking in Taylor Close at school times. MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS The Mayor reported on letters received from: i) Information from the Flood Risk Management Partnership on What to do before, during and after a flood which can be viewed on www.suffolk.gov.uk/foodrisk. ii) Magpas – for the grant received iii) Hadleigh Swimming Club – for the grant received iv) East Anglian Air Ambulance – for the grant received ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £32,197.65 be approved for payment REPORTS It was agreed that the existing arrangements for the Police, County and District Councillors to give short reports at Council Meetings would continue. Councillor Riley as the County Councillor was asked if his written report could be available a week before the meeting so that it can be sent out with the Agenda’s to give Councillors the opportunity to read prior to the meeting. PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 9th May 2013 were noted. Councillor Cook pointed out that the discussions on the proposed development at Hook Lane were informal, no formal plans had been received and nothing would be done until the District Council’s Core Strategy had been agreed. Councillor Cook was extremely disappointed by the response of the District Council especially in respect of the communication strategy which they now feel should be put in place. She asked Councillor Grandon to report back to the District Council that as they have been in office for many years should this strategy not already be in place and why were the District Council surprised that Town & Parish Council’s felt that they should be informed about changes made by the District Council which will impact on them. She advised that future planning minutes would include specific comments when it was felt the application was contentious or a site visit required. SPORTS & OPEN SPACES COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 2nd May 2013, a copy of which is included in the Minute Book, was received and accepted. ANNUAL TOWN MEETING The Town Clerk reported that around 30 people attended this year’s Annual Meeting. The presentation of the Town Mayor’s award was made to Charlie Ralph in recognition of his work as a quiz master and charitable fund raising. Representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the local Co-op had attended. Two residents had attended and raised issues on sports facilities and dog fouling. NEW JOINT AUDIT AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE OF BABERGH DISTRICT COUNCIL/MID-SUFFOLK DISTRICT COUNCIL AND SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL Councillor Cook reported on Babergh District Council’s constitutional changes and how these had affected the Standards Committee. She was concerned that the new Committee did not include representation from individuals, Town or Parish Councils and was made up purely of Councillors from Babergh and MidSuffolk District Councils and Suffolk County Council. It was highly likely that in the future changes could be made to the Code of Conduct and the Standards Regime which may affect Town and Parish Councils but that they would not have representation on the committee discussing them. She was also concerned that, once again, no correspondence regarding these changes had been received by the Town Clerk so would anticipate that possible future changes would also not be reported to Town & Parish Councils. Councillor Cook wanted to ensure that if changes are proposed that Parish and Town Councils are alerted and that the Standards Committee is able to take comments from Parish and Town Council on how any proposals affect them. It was agreed that a letter be sent to Babergh District Council to find out why Town & Parish Councils have not been kept informed of this new Committee and a letter sent to SALC to find out if other Town or Parish Council’s had raised concerns over this issue. TOWN MATTERS Councillor Haylock raised the issue of the change of ownership of the Aldham Hill Quarry. It was felt that this would be dealt with by the Planning Committee in the future should any changes occur. Councillor Riley advised that he was in discussion with the Highways Authority and would be following this matter up with the County Council under their Mineral Strategy. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.45pm Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Jerry’s Diary The lower Brett Valley was the place to bird watch during late April and early May in this area. Wader species put on a good show with 11 species seen on the 3rd May. There were 4 Wood Sandpiper, 1 Common Sandpiper, 7 Redshank, 2 Snipe, 6 Spotted Redshank, 7 Greenshank, 4 Little Ringed Plover, 2 Oystercatcher, 1 Black Tailed Godwit, 1 Whimbrel and several Lapwings. A species in steep decline, the Yellow Wagtail was passing through in good numbers, 30+ were seen on some days at Giffords Park. There were also 2 Blue Headed Wagtails seen at the end of April. There were 4 Common Terns flying over the River Brett at Shelley on May 3rd. The cold NE wind in spring which persisted for many weeks held back many summer migrants. Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Garden Warbler, Willow Warbler, Cuckoo, Housemartins and Swallows were reported to have been seen from the third week of April in several locations. Swifts arrived over my house on 23rd April, two days earlier than last year. Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher were seen on 25th May, but in very low numbers. A rather more exotic sighting, an escapee blue parrot appeared in Peter and Jean Morsman’s garden in Hadleigh - so if you’ve lost yours you now know where it is, or should I say was! A Hobby was seen over the garden on 5th May and two more at Giffords on 3rd June. Lester Bennett told me that he saw a Dipper swimming under water whilst canoeing near Higham Bridge in late April. There were reports of this species in the Sudbury area earlier in the year, so it may have been the same bird. A Montagu’s Harrier was also seen near Higham Bridge on the Lower Brett in late May. A Raven was heard calling at Giffords Park on 26th May. Adam Grettons good hearing for the low notes, first heard the Raven before we saw it perched on top of a pine tree, where it stayed for about 20 minutes before it flew off towards Withermarsh Green. Not the most attractive of birds, but still a rare bird in Suffolk. A Raven had been seen in the Nayland area earlier in the year so it may well have been the same bird. This is only the second Raven that I have seen on my local patch, the first being in October 2005 in Layham. The best and rarest of all these recent sightings was a stunning male Citrine Wagtail, seen briefly in the Lower Brett Valley in the late afternoon of May 3rd. It was picked out amongst the many Yellow Wagtails that were passing through at the time. The Citrine Wagtail was only on view for a few minutes before flying off in the direction of Raydon with several of the Yellow Wagtails, and not seen again. As I’ve said before, it’s about being in the right place at the right time, oh, and you need a little bit of luck!! As always if you see anything interesting or would like a bird identified please let me know! jerry@keithavis.co.uk

RNLI Concert The Ipswich Community Light Orchestra, conducted by Barry Salmon, recently held a concert in St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh, to raise funds for the RNLI. A well-balanced programme was given, including several pieces with connections to Suffolk and the sea. “Orford Ness”, from The Suffolk Suite by local composer Doreen Carwithen, was a most ambitious undertaking that perhaps many in the audience had not come across before, but old favourites in the form of traditional sea songs were heard in a piece called “Fantasea” by Nigel Wicken. “Sailing By” (Ronald Binge) was much appreciated, as was a spirited rendition of the “Lifeboatmen March” by another local composer, Trevor Brown. Soloist Teresa Booth gave a moving rendition of “The Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite” by Paul Reade. She also gave a Latin-American taste to the evening with El Viaje by Astor Piazzolla. The evening was rounded off with a selection of songs from musicals, including “Les Miserables” and “The King and I”. A profit of £505 was raised for RNLI funds. Our thanks go to all who attended and to those who assisted in helping make this event such a success, including the members of the orchestra, and in particular Claire of the St Mary’s Church Office for her assistance. We do hope you will be able to join us for our Shanty Evening on Friday November 29th when we hope to entertain you with a different style of music in the form of The Motley Crew, a group of shanty singers from Brightlingsea. Look out for further details towards the end of the summer. Kate Bailey, Chair, Hadleigh & District RNLI, 01473 823570

‘Much Ado About Nothing’ - Open Air Shakespeare Presented by The Lavenham Players and Directed by Annie Eddington At last, in our overexcited world, much ado about something. The Lavenham Players are delighted to announce an open air summer production of one of Shakespeare’s most renowned comedies. With a difference. Our Much Ado About Nothing will begin, as Shakespeare outlined, with men returning from war and the women of home eager to greet them. But instead of the world of the Prince of Aragon and 17th Century courtiers the disputes and deceptions of Much do About Nothing will be set as soldiers return to Lavenham, Suffolk, around VE Day 1945. Think of it as a celebration of Shakespeare and the end of a tormented time in history. And think of the big band sound blasting out - as it will during the production - and Glenn Miller which will perfectly put you in the mood; plan to put out the bunting and get aboard the Chattanooga Choo Choo for a special journey around one of the Bard’s most witty and joyful comedies. This special Shakespeare trip is taking place in the magnificent gardens of Lavenham Hall and for her version of the original rom-com director Annie Eddington intends to take full advantage of the stunning setting framed as it is by Suffolk countryside and Lavenham’s historic church tower. She said: “I’ve been obsessed by Shakespeare for as long as I can remember and he was, inevitably, my first choice when I was asked to direct an Open Air production for the Lavenham Players, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most popular, works and is beautifully suited to an outdoor performance. Having the opportunity to stage the play in the unique gardens of Lavenham Hall has made me very excited indeed. It’s a super challenge in a splendid spot, It’s a fun work to watch and be involved in”. The plot revolves around the fortunes of two pairs of lovers - the ill-suited Benedick and Beatrice, and love’s young dream - Claudio and Hero. There are the baddies, the very evil villains, and incompetent constables; furious fathers and saucy servants. Everyone is watching, eavesdropping, or over-hearing at some point. Much ado about ‘nothing’! There’s something for all ages including history and nostalgia buffs. There are Land Girls, vintage Jeeps and characters, some of whom could happily be on parade in Dad’s Army! Tickets £10 from Lavenham Newsagents, Sparling and Faiers Bakery and bookable by telephone and online from the Quay Theatre Box office: 01787 374475 quaytheatre.org.uk or £13 on the gate.

Janet’s Almond Macaroons

Recipe for Success

I love this time of year, when we can potentially eat outside, when the smell of barbecues fill the air, and locally made icecream makes its annual appearance! I have my cousin Janet to thank for this month’s by Sarah Thompson contribution. This is a fool-proof recipe and the results will be devoured in no time – trust me! BASIL (Buy And Source It Locally) Janet’s Almond Macaroons (Makes about 20 small ones) 6 oz caster sugar 6 oz sieved ground almonds 1 egg white 2 level teaspoons ground rice Flaked almonds to decorate (optional) Rice paper (also optional) Method Oven to 170oC. Mix caster sugar ground almonds and ground rice. Place unbeaten egg white in a bowl and add the sugar/almond/rice mix until you achieve a stiff dough. Roll into small balls and flatten onto rice paper. Press in a flake of almond. Leave a little space between them to allow for spreading. Bake for 20 minutes or until light brown. Leave a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Break off any excess of rice paper. You can also use bakewell /silicon paper, in which case, allow them to cool a bit before lifting off the paper with a palette knife. Larger ones will take longer; any size if you let them colour well, will be crisp and crunchy; lightly coloured will be softer and chewier – you will learn how you like them by experience. Serve them with afternoon tea as a real treat for friends and family – and yourself, of course! 26

News from Whatfield School Summer seems to have started today, and we have been celebrating with some exciting educational visits. Key Stage Two were excited to visit Darley Stud Farm in Newmarket, where the children met some wonderful horses, and learnt that the whole class weighs as much as one stallion! We were pleased that our year 5 and 6 students all passed their level 2 Bikeability test this week, practising on the playground and field, then travelling on the local roads. We also had a visit from Professor Chaos, funded by the National Grid. He taught us all about electricity, which was a hair-raising experience! We were also very proud to receive the regional prize for our ‘Cookathon’ in March, and the £200 we won, will go to help sustain our cookery club in the next few months as we look forward to harvesting food from the allotment. If you would like to come along and meet us, we have a coffee morning booked in the village hall for July 12th, and you are welcome to take a tour of the school.

Headlines As you will be aware, we consider developing the leadership capacity of our pupils to be key to developing pupils’ confidence and enabling them to succeed. We recently interviewed Year 10 pupils who had expressed interest in being a member of our Pupil Leadership Team. Each candidate undertook a full panel interview after delivering a formal presentation explaining how they hoped to take the work of our school forward. The pupil leadership team have identified issues which they want to lead with staff and governor to improve the work of our school further and share their views below: Robert Halls: I am one of the head pupils at Hadleigh this year. I hope to ensure that younger pupils can follow the student leadership team in striving to constantly better themselves, in order to create a school in which all are motivated to achieve the highest success they are capable of. Penny Sherlock: As a part of the student leadership team, I aim to contribute ideas to the team to support the school’s development. Raising aspirations is the area in which I shall focus my efforts; I intend to inspire the younger students to take all opportunities given to them and to aim for the highest they can achieve through a range of activities. Harry Forbes: For the upcoming academic year I will be one of your Head pupils. Throughout the next year you can come and talk to me about anything that you like and I will aim to help you to the best of my abilities. I, and the other pupil leaders, will strive to make the school the best place possible for your enjoyment, to get the most out of your education and to continue to improve the school so that you can enjoy your time here to the full.

Alistair Grant: I am looking forward to working with staff and House Captains to further improve the transition of primary school pupils to secondary school as well as focussing on how we can enhance the well being of the students during their first months at Hadleigh. Harriet Dulake: As the head pupil responsible for communication, my main aim is to improve student and parent knowledge of in-school activities and progress; this will hopefully make it easier for students to take advantage of the opportunities that are available to them. I will be working closely with the school council and the community news team to ensure that necessary information is accessible for everyone. Hollie Gregg: I have always thrown myself into Hadleigh’s extra-curricular activities and really enjoyed them. I want everyone to have a really positive experience and I am sure that clubs have a big part to play. My goal is to increase pupil participation even further!

Duke of Edinburgh Expedition Over the half-term holiday, the final three groups completed their Duke of Edinburgh expedition. All participants had to walk 25 kilometres over the course of two days, camping overnight at Marsh Farm in Benhall. This was the last expedition they would have to do before achieving their bronze award. Fortunately, all three groups passed and now have to give a presentation to the assessors and fellow pupils to complete the award. The remaining five groups who did their expedition before half-term have now completed their award and are ready to do the silver! The award requires commitment in volunteering, skills and physical recreation. This year has been a record year for Hadleigh High and Suffolk with over 50 students participating, all of whom have passed.

Holly Shanks: I applied for the role of Head Pupil because I want to take a pro-active role within the school. I enjoy thinking of creative ways to improve our school through my enthusiasm and communication skills and am looking forward to responding to the challenges within the role. Niamh Dunn: I am keen to develop our community links further. I will be mainly responsible for the organisation and interaction of Hadleigh High School with the different groups and organisations outside of the school. I will also be responsible for organising new and exciting events inside the school involving all year groups. Joshua Kemp: As part of the Pupil Leadership Team I feel I can help the younger years see the older years as a group of people who can be approached to help and guide them through the first few years of Hadleigh High. I feel passionate about equality and anti-bullying and want to continue to promote positive attitudes throughout the school Joshua Dewes: I applied with the focus of trying to eliminate any form of bullying (including low level incidents). I aim to do this by introducing new anti-bullying schemes further involving pupils to improve existing ideas. Evan White: My role as a member of the Pupil Leadership is to develop the House system. I aim to get more students involved in House activities and, ultimately, unite every year group to further develop an even stronger sense of community and belonging within our school. 28

Year 7 Reading week Year 7 celebrated Reading Week, organised by the Library and English Department, to promote literacy and reading for pleasure. There were many exciting events held during the week. Manga illustrator, Anna Fitzpatrick, visited our school to work with some of our year 7 pupils, sharing her skills and expertise. The pupils who attended one of the three sessions during the day thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Pupils were shown how to draw a Manga character using step- by- step instructions. Pupils comments included, “Fantastic, can she visit every week?”, “The best lesson ever” and “That was really cool!” The highlight of the week was the book-themed non-uniform day held on Friday 24th May. Pupils made a fantastic effort and the classrooms were full of characters from Harry Potter, The Hobbit , St Trinians and Alice in

Wonderland to name a few. Other activities included the ever popular ‘Where’s Wally Hunt’, ‘General Knowledge Quiz’ and Guess the Teacher Reading’ competition. Winning pupils each won a book of their choice.

Year 7 camp is ‘in tents’ During the week of Enrichment the majority of Year 7s are heading to Mersey Island, in Essex for their first “camp” at Hadleigh High School. This trip will consist of 4 days doing outdoor activities, such as swimming, biking and obstacle courses. Eddie Muschamp, Year 7, said he is “looking forward to being together with the rest of the year group, and doing all of the activities.”

Year 10’s Geography Field Trip A few weeks ago, around 30 students went to The Peak District, on a Geography field trip. They visited many tourist “honey-pots,” such as Chatsworth House grounds, a beautiful stately home accompanied by acres of wonderful countryside, and Stanage Edge. The pupils evaluated a handful of towns in Derbyshire, such as Bakewell, Hathersage and Castleton. They were studying the effects of tourism, and debated whether it was a positive or negative aspect of The Peak District. Lumsdale Waterfalls were not as big a tourist attraction, although they were still a sight to look at. Students discussed whether tourism should be enhanced in this serene area of Derbyshire. As well as the educationalside of this trip, the students also enjoyed a lovely visit to The Peak District, and had a chance to experience Derbyshire.

Farewell Year 11 The Year 11s final day of being students at Hadleigh High School came about on the 23rd May 2013, with a day of positive reflection of their time at Hadleigh High School. Firstly, the students had a celebratory pizza party just before their parents/guardians arrived, in order to attend the Leavers’ Assembly that was held in the Sports Barn. This assembly was extremely well attended, with every student having at least one parent there. The attendance was, including students, approximately 360 people – an astonishing number! The assembly was kicked off with a speech by Mrs Gibson, followed by every student coming up onto the stage, where they received their leavers file and a DVD of memories that documented their time at Hadleigh High School. Two musical items were included in this event and they were performed by Shelley Manning and Arthur Glazin. Form tutors were thanked with gifts from their forms, for their involvement with the forms over the past five years. Overall the day was an incredibly positive and happy event, one that I am sure will be remembered for a long time.

Little Shop of Horrors The school production team is excited to announce the show for next year, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. At the moment, the preparations are just beginning, but it is hoped that auditions will take place after Enrichment week and Year 10 work experience, ready for the start of rehearsals in September. Previous productions have been a huge success and therefore many people are already excitedly anticipating this next performance.

Ardèche adventure During Enrichment, Year 9 pupils have the opportunity to go to the south of France for one week. They are taking part in a range of activities, including canoeing, walking, swimming and other water sports. This trip is differing slightly from the previous years, as pupils are spending half the time at the Ardèche River, and the other by the Mediterranean Sea, instead of spending the whole week by the River Cèze. Ellen Seeley, 9M, said “I am really excited, and can’t wait!” Ella Thackray, 9M, says she is also excited “for everything, especially the descent.”

Hi everyone, we still can’t believe where the time has gone, and we are approaching the end of school year and beginning of the summer holidays shortly. We have had a busy few weeks here at Playstation. The children have been learning about “growing”. The children have been planting some runner bean seeds and are now taking them home to look after. We have also been learning about different vehicles and transport, making things that can fly, float, push and pull. Playstation are holding a family fun day on Saturday July 13th on the school field from 11am until 2pm. We will be having a teddy tombola, a raffle, cake stall, a boy/ girl lucky dip and a BBQ (50p a hotdog/ burger), and childrens entertainment. Please look out for flyers around Hadleigh once everything has been confirmed, and come along and join in the fun. We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to Kingsbury and Saunders and Forresters Friendly Society for donations towards our outdoor play area. Everyone here at Playstation hope you all have a wonderful summer holiday and look forward to seeing old and new faces when we return in September. Our register is filling up very quickly so if you would like to register early to ensure your child/ children have a place at Playstation then give us a call on the number below. Also if your child has just turned two, and if you meet certain financial criteria you may be entitled up to10 hours funding per week. Again if you would like any more information on this please speak to Mandy. If you would like to enquire about places at Playstation we can be contacted at playstationhadleigh@btconnect.com. Please telephone Playstation on 824271 for enrolment details, a prospectus or to arrange a visit.

As the date of the group arrival becomes imminent we would like to say a very big thank you to all our supporters who have helped to make this years visit possible. Without all the clothing, shoes, toys and medicines donated by the local community we would find ourselves in the position of so many other Links that have had to cut the number of children in the group as their funding was insufficient. This Link of CCLL only brought our first group in 2008 but including this year almost 150 children will have benefitted from this program plus quite a few others have been lucky enough to return again on Private Visits sponsored by their Host Families. Please look out for our next Fundraising event, something very different this time, Pig Racing and a Professional Hog Roast and Dessert on August 17th at Bloomfields Football Club, Quinton Road, Needham Market. Admission will be by ticket only and numbers are limited so please be sure to get your tickets early. As always tickets are available from our Charity Shop in Coddenham Road, Needham or by calling 01449 760343 or 07974 424374 Elizabeth Parker

A Rum Owd Dew at Sesaw! "Six months gone already!" I hear them say, but July is the highlight of the year at Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare. Our Annual Fete on the 28th will be extra special because 2013 marks 20 years of animal rescue at Idano, Stoke Road in Leavenheath, CO6 4PP. We want everyone to help us celebrate reaching this milestone which is largely due to the wonderful support we receive from so many local people. It will be a fun-filled afternoon of games, competitions, stalls, food and ice cream. We are also staging a Fun Dog Show, Agility Display and Have-a-Go Agility, ably assisted by Jackie Wood of Ace Agility. Entertainment courtesy of Country'n'Western duo "PP County" and Suffolk Celebrity, Charlie Haylock, has kindly agreed to open the Fete at midday. The 'Hysterical Historian' will also be on hand to sign copies of his books about all things Suffolk and beyond, so come along and have a mardle! Before you turn the page, please let me give you two important messages. Firstly, for those of you who have, or will, sign up to the Pets at Home VIP Club. Did you know the charity Lifeline points you earn when your card is swiped at the till automatically default to The Dogs' Trust unless you register your choice online at: www.petsathome.com/vip. If you wish to support SESAW, select Colchester, Sudbury, Ipswich or Bury St.Edmunds as your home store and SESAW as your charity. This does not affect your discount or special offers and applies to purchases you make in any store or online. Secondly, SESAW is indebted to all the generous people who leave food in our collection bins, (including Nanouk's owner, the girls were so sad when they read your note) and to the businesses that act as our collection points (see a list at http://www.sesaw.co.uk/). As you probably know, the Sanctuary depends entirely upon voluntary support and could not function without your generous donations of food, money, building materials, goods to sell, etc. So a great big THANK YOU from everyone at SESAW including little ol' me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Coping with Cravings! Cravings get the better of us all sometimes and it can be almost impossible to deny them. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to keep your waistline in check it can undo all the hard work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing at the gym or by watching your diet. Cravings are caused by a mixture of hormones, emotions and learned behaviour - including how we were fed as children! The hormones most likely to give us a problem are cortisol, insulin and leptin. Cortisol is produced when we are stressed and if not used by the body for energy it is converted into fat and stored! Aim to keep your blood sugar on an even keel by eating little & often, cutting out sugar, refined carbohydrate and caffeine. This will also help avoid craving for fatty and sugary foods, and, long term, should help reduce the risk of developing diabetes. Insulin directs glucose (ie. sugar) to the muscles and liver to be used for energy but again, any excess is converted to fat. Leptin is the hormone that tells us weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re full â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes if we regularly overeat this can get â&#x20AC;&#x153;switched offâ&#x20AC;? and the over-indulgence becomes even harder to control. All hormones can affect our mood, willpower and energy. Many people find theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re snappy when hungry so if we do our best to keep our hormones in balance by eating a nutritionally balanced diet everyone around us will also benefit..!! Habits can be hard to break â&#x20AC;&#x201C; repetition is how we learn so we need to focus on new (better) habits for a sustained period of time before it becomes our new â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;?. Substituting a healthier food choice can be a start and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have such an impact on our waistlines! If you would like individual help with a weight problem, Val Lord has been an accredited Independent Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant for over 4 years and can be contacted on 01449 737113 or 07519 177645. She is also available at French Complexion, Hadleigh. Go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL for more information.

ABF - The Soldiers Charity On Friday 19th July, members of Hadleigh’s 41 Club and, all being well, a few soldiers from 7 Battalion REME from Wattisham will be collecting money for the Army Benevolent Fund. It is only fair to tell everyone why we are collecting and what the money raised is for. The Benevolent Fund is the welfare ‘bank’ that exists to help anyone who has ever been in the army who needs relief. ‘Anyone’ includes widows and orphans. When you realise that many World War 2 veterans are now over 90, and are still with us, and that even the youngest ex-National Serviceman is now well over 70 it is clear that there can be much for the fund to do. After all, there are the elderly who operated in the last days of the empire, from Korea, Aden, Cyprus and many other places, to the Falklands. There are the veterans of Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. It may be a shock to some to know that in Suffolk alone there are roughly 200,000 ex-servicemen and women. Avery few have real problems and need help. The ABF does this, by directly supporting well over 75 charities, such as Combat Stress, St Dunstan’s, BLESMA, and various retirement homes. In addition it deals with many individual cases in conjunction with Regiments’ own funds. The money itself comes from two sources. The first is the Army’s One Day Pay Scheme - one days salary per man and woman, all ranks, per year. As it is given voluntarily, it is quite a lot of money, but the army is getting smaller and the income less. The second source is you. Every year the need increases. Therefore, on 19th July, when you see the collectors, please give generously, the money goes where it is needed most and to the people who have served you faithfully. In advance, thankyou, John Hart

News from St Mary’s Primary School Thank you to Trish Pitt, who taught the children about the story of creation during themed assemblies at the school. The children enjoyed the role-play and practical activities used to tell the story. The following week, children throughout the whole school visited St Mary’s Church to participate in an ‘Everybody Writes’ day about Creation. Once again, Trish supported the children, helping them to generate ideas for their writing. The children responded in all sorts of ways, writing super poetry and stories. It was wonderful for the children to learn and write in a different environment and they were inspired by the beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Also, many thanks to Craig Hutton, one of our Governors and a Youth Worker at the church. Craig led Worship at the church, which was linked to the children’s writing, and shared contemporary Christian music with the children. Well done to all the children who took part in the ‘pyramid’ cricket festival. St Mary’s was represented by teams from Years 5 and 6. The children were very sporting, supporting and encouraging one another really well. It was a great event in the sunshine! Our Year 5 team were delighted to come third overall. Children from other local schools visited St Mary’s recently to participate in reading and writing workshops. The activities were aimed at gifted and talented children from the upper years. The writers focused on personification and poetry, producing some stunning pieces. They presented the thoughts and feelings of characters through different objects, such as a flag, a flower, a river and a compass. We were very impressed with the vocabulary and superb ideas. The reading group concentrated on the openings to novels, thinking about how authors grab the attention of a reader and make them want to read on. We discussed the openings of books the children have read recently as well as some well known stories. Professor Kaos amazed the children with scientific facts and experiments during his recent show! The children described the experience as ‘awesome’! It was organised by the National Grid in order to raise awareness of the power and risks of electricity. The Professor displayed a range of equipment and, along with lots of willing volunteers, demonstrated how electricity is used in everyday life. As well as being educational, it was packed with fun! We are very grateful to all the members of the community who helped recently during our Careers Day! Children throughout the school welcomed visitors into their classes to talk about jobs and ambitions. The aim was to raise aspirations and relate the English and maths skills learned in school to the careers children may choose to follow in the future. Our visitors included Gareth Lloyd from Frost and Partners, Bradley Taylor and Tammy haggerty from Morrison’s, PCSO Georgi Hawkes, Mr Morris from HSBC, Alex Deal from Ipswich Building Society, Paul Simon from Babergh Communications, Mr Hek, Mrs Hanks and Mr Bannister. All our visitors shared details about their working lives and helped the children to understand the importance of working hard and acquiring key skills in school! Thank you to all involved. Later in the week, Allen Fulcher and Graham Wigley from Barclays Bank visited both Willow and Chestnut classes to talk about jobs and workplace skills. Their wide-ranging discussion included helping children to understand the value of things and where money goes. It was lovely to see so many Dads at the fathers’ Day lunch recently. This was an opportunity for Dads to share lunch time with their children, sample the school dinners and see where the children play. It was really successful and we hope to see you all again next year!

Thank you to Jules Howard, the ‘Wildlife-Man’, who spent a day leading workshops on dinosaurs and fossils. This was a fascinating day, during which all the children in the school had the chance to hunt for real fossils and examine prehistoric amber, using a microscope to identify preserved insects and plant life. It was the first time this selection of amber had been studied so the children were making discoveries for the first time! Jules said the children were perfectly behaved and asked lots of really thoughtful questions. Thank you to the school’s Parent Support Group, which funded the workshops! We have been pleased to welcome lots of visitors into the school to lead Worship for us this month. Thank you to Ian Copeman, Pastor Chris Todd and The Very Reverend Martin Thrower for helping us teach the children about the theme of ‘humility’. Martin talked about being humble when you need help and the children loved getting involved. Volunteers were given a spoon of sweets to eat but they were not allowed to bend their arm or use their other hand to help them. The children came up with the idea that they could feed each other and discussed how we depend on others. Also, Joyce Willis visited the children to talk about icons. This was great for inspiring the children to design icon mosaics, which will be used to decorate our planned spiritual garden outside. Thank you to all the members of the community who have helped the children with their learning. Well done to the Year 6 children, who provided twelve beautiful flower displays for the Flower Festival at St Mary’s Church. Joan Rampling and Jenny Leeks visited the children to discuss the Festival theme of ‘time’ and the children’s display illustrated the idea of ‘time for school’. The display was well received at the church. Many thanks to Shirley Mowles and Sue Wells, who provided a great deal of expertise and help to the children. Also, we must thank Morrison’s for donating many of the flowers the children used in their arrangements. All the children really enjoyed taking part and being creative. We have some future florists!

HADLEIGH CAR WASH

At this time of year, most if not all of us are plagued by tree pollen, insects and bird mess getting all over our cars. It's a seasonal hazard, just like the salt off the roads during the Winter months. What few people realise, however, is that all three of these contain small amounts of acid which, if left unattended, will damage the paintwork on your vehicle, and reduce the re-sale value. For the majority of us, a car represents the second largest investment - after buying your home - any of us will make in our lives, so naturally, it makes common sense to take good care of that investment and make sure it retains as much value as possible, particularly in these difficult financial times. We have specialist chemicals and equipment for the removal of these problems, and can also deal with the resulting damage to your paintwork, if the damage has already been done, so come up and see us on Lady Lane Industrial Estate (Unit 35b, next to Jayrest) and let us help you out. As we like to say here at Hadleigh Carwash, "Your car is our passion!" Hadleigh Car Wash Ltd Tel. 01473 828431 Email. hadleighcarwash@gmail.com

We have an awesome Summer Reading Challenge this year and the theme is Creepy House. Children's reading can 'dip' during the long summer holidays. The annual Summer Reading Challenge helps gets three quarters of a million children into libraries to keep up their reading skills and confidence. Because everything changes when we read. The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six books during the long summer holiday. Children can read whatever they like - fact books, joke books, picture books, audio books - just as long as they are borrowed from the library. Every time your child finishes a book they get stickers and rewards and there's a certificate for everyone that finishes. The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all children and is designed for all reading abilities. Registration begins on Saturday 20th July at Hadleigh Library. In the meantime take a look at the fantastic website summerreadingchallenge.org.uk. There’s a competition, help choosing your books and a place to chat. The Scrumptious Sisters cake stall will make a welcome return on Saturday 27th July from 10.00am. The Scrumptious Sisters provide truly scrumptious cakes with a percentage of money taken going to our newly established Hadleigh Library Friends Group. We’ll also have tea and coffee on sale, plus a few creepy cakes to tie in with our Summer Reading Challenge.

QUARTET (12A) £3.50 on the door Dustin Hoffman directs a stellar cast in this bittersweet tale of ageing opera singers forced to face their mortality. With Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay and Michael Gambon. This is a light hearted drama, adapted from a 1999 play; one film critic described it as “a lovely old lolloping Labrador of a film; it bounds over to you, eyes bright and tail wagging, and you smilingly allow it to curl up on your feet!”. Beecham House is the centre of the film's story where former opera singers live out their retirement. Their annual concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday is disrupted by the arrival of Jean, played by Maggie Smith, an eternal diva and the former wife of one of the residents. Her arrival, crunching up the driveway in high dudgeon is a joy to witness! Hoffman directs with elegance, and obviously has had a great time working with the film's professionals. There is honesty in QUARTET about old age: it stops short of anything too testing or tragic. In short here is a film that should not be missed!

CONTACTING THE ACC Call Tom on 823719 or Jan on 823413 Take a look at our website - www.ansellcc.org.uk WHERE IS THE ANSELL CENTRE? It is next to the United Reformed Church and behind the Ram Public House in Market Place. Access is through the church garden. 38

Breast to Impress! Mum of three Heather Parsons had never really been massively overweight until having children. She had never worried too much when weight was creeping on and put it down to age and assumed if it was the way her life was to be. After having baby number three Heather gained almost 2 and a half stone during her pregnancy and she knew that it was not going to just fall off by breastfeeding alone. Heather says “I didn’t want to have to hide under baggy clothes and feel frumpy and miserable with having baby weight hanging around, I wanted to feel as proud about myself as I did with my new son”. When Heather’s son Robert was only three weeks old she re-joined her local Slimmingworld group knowing she was going to be in the best of hands not only for giving the best start in life by breastfeeding her son but that she would receive the best help and support with her group and consultant Michelle. Slimmingworld are an accredited partner of The Royal College of midwives who work very closely with one another to ensure that pregnant and nursing Mums well advised in healthy eating for themselves and baby. Slimmingworld not only have a unique healthy eating plan but also offer support and advise, as well as to help build up your confidence with weekly groups. “I love going to group each and every week, it isn’t only about your weight (which is in complete confidence), but you also have fun and learning new recipes, the amount you can eat You are not a diet” “A family favourite is Lasagne and chips (Yes chips!), or a Chicken Curry and a scrummy missisippi mud pie for dessert”. So far Heather has lost 1st 10lb (2 dress sizes) and is well on her to reaching her 3 stone target. Heather is about to embark on a new chapter in her life and wants to help people like her who are wanting to lose weight and be proud of who they are.. Heather is due to take over the Hadleigh Slimmingworld group on Thursday 27th June so why not go along and let Heather help show the amazing you!!! Call Heather on 01473 692838

Once again the June meeting was in the form of a garden meeting with supper and general social time. This year Jeff Rudman conducted a tour of my patch explaining the ethos of the site and how I and my late husband, turned the four acres of basically sterile field into a wild life haven. Due to the "odd" season, the meadow was rather behind, but hopefully it was obvious that it has changed dramatically over the twenty four years of its construction. Hundreds of trees are now nearing maturity and the thousands of shrubs and bushes have broken up the acres with avenues, small wood and lots of hedges and shrubberies. Thank you one and all for the beautiful flowers and the folk who helped me in the kitchen and even directing the traffic and of course Jeff for his part in making the evening a success.

Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: The Club was represented at the May Show this year by a stand in the Chamber of Commerce Marquee. Members were available to discuss all aspects of Rotary from the benefits of membership to the many charitable activities. The winner of 'Guess the number of sweets in the jar' competition was T Webber of Ipswich whose guess of 401 was closest to the correct answer of 408. The Club is very grateful to her for generously donating £10 to the Club's charitable trust fund out of the prize money of £50. SPEAKERS: 1 Emma Brennan, who is the local reporter for the East Anglian Daily Times, spoke about her employment history and her current job. She has been a journalist for 25 years starting at the Suffolk Free Press before moving to local radio firstly at Radio Orwell thenRadio Suffolk and finally Radio 4. Her next job took her back to newpapers but this time in Australia where she remained for 10 years. Now back in this country she is working for EADT based in Sudbury. The paper is part of the Archant Group which in addition to local newspapers produces a range of magazines and periodicals including The Suffolk Magazine. The Head Office is in Norwich and it employs about 1850 people but it relies on 15 reporters to supply its news and reports are sent direct to the computer cutting out about 3 staff and now the reporters have been issued with I Phones in order that they may take their own photographs as well. 2 Rotarian Trevor Sayer, current District Governor, made Hadleigh his last Club visit before he retires from office on June 30. He was pleased to report that Clubs in the District had raised, so far, £17500 for a special District 'End Polio Now' campaign which will pay for vaccinating some 50,000 children (Hadleigh itself has donated £620 to cover vaccinations for about 1900 children). There are only 3 countries now where polio is still a problem - Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria and in all these children are slowly being vaccinated so that a polio free world is a real possibility within next 5 years. In another fundraising effort clubs have collected £25000 for Wheelpower which provides sports wheelchairs for disabled athletes with each chair costing about £3500. The money will be spent within the district as suitable athletes are identified and the first chair is going to a tennis player with a real chance of representing his country in the 2016 Paralympics. He also mentioned that in Britain ladies made up only 12% of members. In Hadleigh Club this is only 6% so the challenge in the next year is to find 2 more lady members to beat the average! FUTURE PROGRAMME: July 4th....... Business Meeting. July 11th, 18th, and 25th Speaker Meetings For all information relating to this Club please visit Rotary Club of Hadleigh website or ring Rotarian Alan Williams tel 01473 830229

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts I am writing this column on my return from 11 days holiday. Normally going on holiday at this time means the everything is planted out and under control before I go away. This year the weather meant that this was not practical, and courgettes and outdoor cucumbers had to stay in the greenhouse potted on into bigger pots than normal. When we went away the weeds appeared to be reasonably under control, but on our return they appear to have grown twice as fast as the desired plants, so there is lots of weeding to do. To some extent the weed problem is of my own making. I have 5 compost bins, and virtually all the garden waste except perennial weeds gets composted. The resulting compost is mainly used to improve the soil on my vegetable patch. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get the compost bins to always run hot enough to kill weed seeds, so some weeds are inevitable. One hopes to catch them small with a hoe, but holidays let them get away. In the circumstances I am relieved that I did not agree to open my garden for the Hadleigh Open Gardens day this year. I am looking forward to visiting the Open Gardens and seeing how other people are getting on. Trying to be positive, our strawberries have loads of fruit. We just need some sunshine to ripen them. There is a good set of fruit on most of the fruit trees, and a lot of vegetables are now growing quite well. A couple of weeks of good Summer weather, and one should really be able to enjoy the garden. Weather Records In May at Kersey there were 42.7mm (1.7") of rain, which is just a little bit less than average rainfall. The 3 month figure was 105.8mm (4.2") which is about 2/3 of the average. In May the maximum temperature was 21 Cel (70 F), which is the lowest average that we have had since I started including these figures in 1999. minimum temperature for May was 0 Cel (32 F) which is the lowest May minimum since 2000. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 15 Cel (59 F), which is about normal for mid June.

The lavender should be cut just before the flowers are fully open. It is also a good month for lifting and dividing Irises that have flowered. Select the biggest single rhizomes for replanting, and cut half of the leaves off. Do not plant too deeply. The tops of the rhizomes should be above the soil. If you grow plants in pots this tends to be the time of the year when growth is vigorous, and roots start to appear out of the bottom of the pots so that repotting is necessary. When re-potting I often use the old pot as a "mould" for filling the new pot. I crock the new pot, put some compost in the bottom, stand the old pot on it, and fill in round the sides. Removing the old pot then leaves a neat hole into which to drop the plant. The potting compost you buy for your house plants, and containers will feed them if the plants are growing well for 5 to 6 weeks. After this they will need some extra nourishment. There are various ways of providing this. The "modern" way is to use pellets of one of the slow release fertilizers. These will release their contents slowly over the season, so it is a once a year job. The alternatives are soluble fertilizers like Phostrogen and Miraclegro which you dissolve in water and then water the containers. The liquid feed needs repeating every couple of weeks. Ideally different plants require different mixes of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium and the general fertilizers which I have mentioned are a compromise. Chempac make a range of soluble fertilizers blended to suit particular plants for example one for African Violets and a different one for Cacti. These are worth using for your special plants.

Firstly the lady who picked up my belongings and then the gentleman with the beautiful motorbike who seemed very knowledgeable about firstaid. Lastly the man from The George who supplied the napkins to mop up my bleeding nose and who telephoned my friend who arrived to take me home. No bones broken, just two very black eyes! Shirley Wadley

Dear Sir At the end of World War Two the population of Hadleigh totalled 3,000 of all ages. Thirty nine gave their life serving in our armed forces, there has been one casualty since then in Iraq. Saturday, 29th. of June is Armed Forces Day. I have a public collection licence from Babergh Council and support from the three major stores in the town to have a collection point on that day at their premises. The collection will be dedicated to the memory of Drummer Lee Rigby, so callously murdered in Woolwich. The population of Hadleigh now exceeds 9,000 in total. Are there forty people in Hadleigh willing to give one hour of their time that day at one of the collection points to show support for what our forces both past and present do in our name? Am I being over optimistic ? Now there is a challenge for Hadleigh and the surrounding area to take up. The charities that will share all collection proceeds are Help for Heroes and The Soldier's, Sailor's and Air Force Association. Please telephone 01473 - 829127 or Email to: fredbreyer@fhbreyer.plus.com to leave your details. Collectors must be over 16 years of age. Thanking you in anticipation of your support, Fred Breyer

Word is spreading that a new petrol station is arriving at Morrisons. “Great news, cheaper petrol”, I hear you say. But at what cost? “A survey carried out in the High Street after Morrisons opened had shown a 50% drop initially, which had now evened out at between 15% and 35%.” (EADT, March 2013). If a petrol station arrives, these numbers will increase for sure. Why do supermarkets have petrol stations? It’s to encourage people to use their shop and it works! There have been “admissions from some supermarket groups that they are using low margin petrol as a loss leader for increased sales of high margin groceries” (Telegraph Newspaper,16 April 2012). Currently many people choose to shop in the high street for their groceries and get their petrol on the way out of town. But Morrisons will provide a onestop-shop for people buying petrol, taking more and more people away and consequently leaving us with a dead, un-used high street like so many in the UK. If a petrol station is what you want, do the right thing and campaign for them to put it in a suitable place, away from the store to keep the trade in the high street. If you don’t want one, tell them! People of Hadleigh, don’t let Morrisons ensure that the only market street we have is within the confines of their own building. When the planning goes in, make your voice heard. D. Bailey

Retirement.... John Byham (JB Domestcs) has finally retired! I would like to thank all my customers of the last 16 years for their support. Also thanks to Hicks of Hadleigh and Frost and Partners for all their job referrerals.

In recent articles I have talked about the number of pedal cycles handed in to us in Hadleigh. Despite numerous attempts at raising the profile of this issue, we still find ourselves with an ever growing store of bikes. Most recently, in the past 8 weeks, we have been handed two exceptional examples of nearly new bikes that have not been reported as stolen or missing. For obvious reasons, I will not describe these bikes in this article, but I will say that one clearly would fit a teenager and the other an adult male. Both were recovered from our parks in Hadleigh, both very distinctive and recognisable. I am sure that you, or somebody you know, would be extremely grateful to locate their missing property, so please spread the word and get in contact with us. If they are not claimed, they will eventually be sold via the Bumble Bee auction site. In other news, I have recently taken on the role of single point of contact for licensing in the Babergh East area. In addition to my existing duties, I now have responsibility for making sure our licensed premises run efficiently and are upholding the four licensing objectives. Over the coming weeks I will be visiting all of our licensed premises and will be liaising with Babergh District Council and our own Licensing Team in order to improve the communication that already exists with pubs and shops. If you have any concerns over alcohol licensing then please get in touch. In addition to this work, I am also speaking with shop owners about removing from sale all super strength beers and ciders from our part of the District. Some of you may know that Ipswich piloted the scheme and have had much success. Statistics show that removing these products from sale has an immediate effect on alcohol related crime and antisocial behaviour levels. The term super strength applies to anything over 6.5%abv. During May 2013 I enlisted support from our Dog section and the Special Constabulary in order to run a passive drugs dog operation. This involved a dog handler and officers working in plain clothes walking around Hadleigh for an evening. The dog is trained to detect all drugs, and indicates to an individual when a scent is found. The person is then searched. Whilst no drugs were found during the evening, it did prove worthwhile as an intelligence gathering exercise and additional proof that any perceived drugs issues in the Town are actually lower than what the public believes. The Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) continues to show benefits. The word is spreading and those that regularly drink on the streets are now realising the extent of our powers and are choosing not to drink in public. We do rely upon the support of you, the public, in order to maximise the DPPOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full potential, so if you see somebody drinking in a public place and you feel their presence may cause a problem please let us know. Your details will be held in confidence and will not be disclosed to anyone else. Remember, Hadleigh Police Station is open to the public Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between the hours of 1pm and 3pm. You can contact us by calling 101 or by email. Always dial 999 if it is an emergency. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk

Hadleigh Evening WI At the June meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI members and visitors enjoyed an interesting talk given by Carl Powell about the Garden Bird Watch Scheme. Throughout the country thousand of volunteers make daily recording of the species of birds who visit their gardens and send this information to the headquarters of the British Trust for Ornithology based in Thetford where it analysed by researchers. Graphs showed clearly the increase in birds visits during the winter indicating they are heavily reliant on the bird food provided Carl showed some beautiful slides of garden birds including the colourful goldfinch, the humble sparrow whose numbers are declining, collar doves who are thriving world wide and the sparrow hawk who feeds on small birds but analysis shows have less of a detrimental impact than the domestic cat. Philippa Carruthers reported on the WI national meeting in Cardiff which she attended. This is a wonderful event where thousands WI members from all over England and Wales have an opportunity to get together. The main resolution debated was the decline of the High Street. It was passed with reservations. Speakers included Comedian Griff Reece Jones who spoke about his concern about the proposal to build Tescos on water meadows in Hadleigh. Political interviewer John Humphrys who gave Tony Blair as an example of a politician who never answered a question and Margaret Thatcher who always did. Many WIs are planning their annual summer garden party to which they invite friends from all the local institutes. This year Hadleigh Evening will be holding theirs in the Hadleigh Guildhall and garden Next month Hadleigh Evening WI will meet on Tuesday 16th July in the Seminar suite above Hadleigh library. Members are invited to bring their antiques for speaker Barrie Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment. Visitors and new members are welcome. Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

Babergh offers free drop-in advice service District Council has teamed up with SNAP – the Support & Advice Project – to offer a free, drop-in service for those in need of housing-related support. From Wednesday 12 June 9.30am-12.30pm and the second Wednesday morning of every month thereafter, a room will be set aside at the Council offices where members of the general public can gain advice on anything to do with housing. SNAP Team Leader Wendy Shepherd said: “We want to help those struggling to live independently in their own home. Many people may face being made homeless because they may be behind on their rent payments or in mortgage arrears and our aim is to prevent this. Or they want to improve their money management and budgeting skills. “We can signpost people to the right service. So please come along and see if we can help you.” Other issues SNAP can help with include developing life skills, access to health and well-being, working and training and accessing community and social networks. The SNAP service is also available at Hadleigh children’s centre and the intention is to offer a similar service at Mid Suffolk District Council in the near future. Anyone interested in using the service should call in to Babergh’s main reception for directions to the relevant meeting room

Ebonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre The Hadleigh Show, and yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already thinking about next year so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to make that extra jar of preserve when the time comes, was again a great success for The Centre, raising ÂŁ1,100 in the process. Many thanks to all of you who purchased items from our stall! Did you see the photo of our team in the East Anglian Daily Times showing off those lovely goodies? At the beginning of June we held our second Pony Day, which like the first, during April, was a great success and enjoyed much better weather. It enabled our Riders to become more involved with the horses and ponies and to experience what it is like to look after these fine animals and all that goes with riding. From what I hear of conversations outside my room I think the day achieved that objective. Our second big event during June was the Shelley Show which enabled our Riders to show off their skills at Dressage and on the Countryside Challenge as well as having a bit of fun in the arena. Full details of the day and prize winners will be published in the Shelley News section of our Website for those who would like to know more about the day, so keep an eye out! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m often asked to put a call out for Helpers to ensure we can continue our important work and as usual, anyone interested in making a difference please contact us. However, The Centre does have to be maintained, from pooh picking and digging out ragwort to grass cutting, trimming, running repairs etc. this all happens in the background. Although we have a small, enthusiastic part time team helping in this area there is always room for more hands to help out, so, if you are not necessarily a hands on horse person we can always make use of your skills in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Backroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area. Particularly in summer months, there is nothing nicer than being out in the fields enjoying the view, watching the birds (And Helicopters) whilst exercising with the strimmer, mower or ragwort fork: fancy the open air, then call The Centre and come and look around. You are not expected to become a full time helper, unless you are able, so any time you can spare will be appreciated. For myself, well, I prefer to watch from my room as I listen to the buzz from the ATV and Sweeper engines as they clean the fields, that is when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able and not busy with my Riders.

New Mixed Doubles Champions! TYRE & GARAGE LIMITED

TYRES, BATTERIES SERVICE & REPAIRS

The Hadleigh tennis Club’s “Mixed Doubles” tournament took place on Sunday 3rd June, which was one of our rare sunny days this year. After some competitive tennis, Ben Daniels and Linda Dhondy emerged victorious, after beating Trevor and Elaine into second place. The attached photo shows the happy winners holding up their trophy for all to see. This is a great achievement for young Ben, who has made a lot of progress over the last few years and has now become a stalwart of the men’s section. We could do with some more young players, so come on you Boys and Girls, pop down and give it a go, after all, tennis isn’t just for Wimbledon you know!! Speaking of Wimbledon, our lucky raffle winners will be heading down to those revered courts soon, hoping to see some great matches and get up close to the players. I guess Rafa Nadal will be the favourite, following on from his recent success at the French Open. As part of the on-going maintenance scheme, the courts are likely to be cleaned at some point in the not-too-distant future, which whilst inconvenient at the time, will mean that they are kept in good condition and grease free. Details of the cleaning will appear on our website once we have been advised by the Town Council. Our website has recently been subject to a “makeover”, in order to make the information clearer and provide better directions to the club and courts. We have once again offered a 25% discount to new players this year and we are now publishing dates for club events in a calendar on the website. Please go and have a look at it: www.hadleightennis.org.uk and feel free to give us any feedback about the site. 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. Following this year’s AGM we are pleased to advise that annual membership fees are being held at £100 for adults and £60 for students, as an added incentive, there is a 25% discount available to any new players joining the club for the first time. If you have any queries please contact us via: hadleightennis@gmail.com, or Paul Knowles on 07747 637147

Ladies European Tour international golf event and Pro Am to be held at Stoke by Nayland this September The Professional Golfers’ Association is increasing its support of the women’s game with the launch of a new tournament on the Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS). This exciting development in women’s golf will see The WPGA International Challenge supported by Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf & Spa added to the LETAS schedule and played at the venue on September 26-28. The 54-hole tournament, which is the only Hannah Moul, local Stoke by Nayland Amateur entrant event on the LETAS schedule to be played in the United Kingdom, will feature an international field of 120 players competing for a share of the €25,000 prize fund. Entry for spectators is free of charge. There will be an opportunity for 20 WPGA members to compete in the event. In addition, with the support of England Golf, 20 elite female amateurs will also compete in the event. The new tournament, which will provide additional playing opportunities for elite WPGA members and leading English female amateurs, has been widely welcomed by all involved in bringing the event to fruition. Di Barnard, Tour Director LET Access Series said: “We are delighted to announce the addition of the WPGA International Challenge to the 2013 LETAS schedule. There is a very strong golfing community in the UK and a large representation of players from this region on both the LET and LETAS. We are looking forward to working with the PGA and also the venue, Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf & Spa, which will offer first class facilities for the players. The LET Access Series was formed to create additional playing opportunities for female golfers and also to provide an important link between elite amateur and professional golf. We are also delighted to have the support of England Golf and will welcome a number of elite English amateurs to compete in the event.” The PGA’s chief executive, Sandy Jones, commented: "We have been discussing with LET for some time the concept and creation of this event. It therefore gives me much pleasure to now be able to announce the WPGA international challenge on the LETAS Schedule. I am also very pleased to say that we are presenting the event at Stoke by Nayland, a venue that is well known to us and has partnered the PGA on many past occasions to stage great golf events. “ Situated in a stunning “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” on the Suffolk/Essex border, Stoke by Nayland has the experience of staging worldwide televised European Challenge Tour, European Senior Tour and PGA Europro events, and is looking forward to gracing the international golf stage once more as the only UK destination on the 2013 LETAS schedule. Susanna Rendall, managing director of the family-owned Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa, said: “We are really excited to be hosting the WPGA International Challenge here this September and look forward to welcoming these talented golfers here from all over the world - and to playing our part in helping to promote Women’s international golf. We are particularly pleased that one of our Stoke by Nayland members, Hannah Moul, who has been performing extremely well in National and Regional amateur events, will also be playing which I hope will encourage a local audience to come and cheer her on ” There will be a Pro Am tournament on Wednesday 25th September followed by a Gala Dinner and prize giving, and keen amateurs are invited to take a team of 4, which will include one of the women professionals competing in the 3 day event.

Hadleigh CC 1st XI 2013 The First XI have had their wings clipped a little after their bright start to the season, but still look in great shape to hold their own in Division 1 of the Two Counties Championship. The player of the month has been Luke Ibbs, who scored 118 and 85 in successive matches to seal his acclimatisation to an English summer. Shame for him that the Ashes are about to commence! Game of the month was the tie with Ipswich, and perhaps shot of the month, I am led to believe, was a monumental six struck by Kyle Tanner at Maldon. ‘Yarpie’ has been in blistering form with the bat recently, and must drive opposition captains to distraction when they see him coming in at No. 8 or 9. On a Sunday he has been batting up the order and in a game against Battisford last month hit 152 not out, sharing in a stand of 220 with Tim Rix, and followed that up with a rapid unbeaten 56 against Mildenhall, which included 4 sixes. His Sunday average is a far from shabby 147. Not bad for a bowler! Rixy has also scored two Sunday tons on the bounce. The Saturday Seconds have struggled with player availability and some inconsistent batting. A curious looking scorecard at Mistley saw Mark Simmonds make a century but only one other player reach double figures. However, there is plenty of spirit in the ranks and with new fathers Thoroughgood and Gilderson receiving special dispensation to play as much as they can, hopes are high that safety can be achieved. The Sunday 2nd XI, surely the best supported side in the county, let alone the club, pleased their following with satisfying wins over Elmswell and Nowton, and 13-year old Daniel Shanks recorded his maiden 50 against Risby with a lovely innings. It is good to see youngsters like Daniel, Oliver Peters and Aaron Tampion receiving plaudits almost every week from our opposition. Don’t forget the bar is open every Saturday afternoon from 1pm on match days – serving teas and coffees, ice creams, sweets and with regular beer promotions.

Newton Green Golf Club has fielded its youngest ever players in a Suffolk Tolly Cobbold Cup – and won to the next round. Juniors Ben Tatum, 12, and Harvey Watts, 13, who both play county junior golf in their age group, were included by non-playing captain Harry Wordley in his side that visited St Clements, Ipswich, in the first round of the tournament, which is for players with handicaps above 10. In the morning matches, Newton trailed by nine holes, but put up a great fight back to be four ahead at the end. The two youngsters were paired with more experienced players, Ben Tatum and Ian Colman being one up on the day, and Harvey Watts and club men’s captain Chris Williams three up. Martin Smith and Andy Roper were two up, with Mark Chambers and Bob Talbot just two behind their opponents. The victory means Newton entertain Seckford in the second round on June 23, which promises to be an entertaining day at the club with the first team also at home to Thorpeness in the second round of the Hambro Cup, having enjoyed a first round bye.
