Sir Geoff Hurst visits the Millfield England World Cup legend Sir Geoff Hurst was the special guest at the Millfield at their annual Celebrity Dinner and the 250 guests present also enjoyed a surprise visit from former Arsenal and England star Ian Wright.

Comedian John Stiles, son of another football legend Nobby Stiles led the entertainment of the guests who enjoyed an excellent three course meal provided by Jamie Lee Smith Caterers within the Big Marquee provided by All Season Marquees. Ian Wright was a guest of event sponsors Shared Access the company responsible for installing new floodlights at the Millfield. This was in return for Hadleigh United FC granting Shared Access a 25 year lease on the site of a new Telecoms mast.

Club Chairman Rolf Beggerow said," The Telecoms mast is up but at the time of writing it is not yet on line with any mobile operators. However the new floodlights installed by Abacus Lighting are now fully operational. The new lights operate from six towers each with 3 modern downward pointing lamps. There will be 3 winners emanating from this project. The town of Hadleigh with improved mobile phone coverage, the residents close to the Millfield who will notice very little light spillage when the lights are on and of course Hadleigh United FC who have received the benefit of a 45K investment in the new floodlights together with 25 years maintenance from Abacus. I would like to acknowledge the support we have received from the Hadleigh Town Council, in dealing with all the legal matters that arose in relation to this project”.

Hadleigh United FC Celebrity Evening

One 11 year old former Hadleigh Youth team player Ollie Woods could not believe it when his mother and grandmother Lesley Turner told him that he was going to meet Sir Geoff Hurst in Hadleigh. Ollie had been given a 1966 World Cup Program by his late grandfather and the Club arranged for Ollie to meet Sir Geoff at the Millfield and for Sir Geoff to sign the program.

Sir Geoff commented that the program was in a remarkably good condition and one the best kept he had seen. Rolf Beggerow said “When Lesley first approached the Club with such a touching story about Ollie’s treasured program and it’s connection to his grandfather, we were only too pleased to make the arrangements with Sir Geoff. Now Ollie has a personalised autograph in the program from Sir Geoff, the only man ever to score a hat-trick in a world cup final. Ollie should be able to live on the memory of his meeting and the pictures with Sir Geoff for many years to come�.

The New Skills Centre in Ipswich has been very supportive of the Hadleigh Festival of Gardening and Art. If you were fortunate enough to visit the Festival stand at the Hadleigh Show this year you would have been greeted with fine examples of the Centre’s work. Their clients Hannah Earrey, and David Muddimer worked tirelessly to create a large, lively garden scene which visitors could use as a photo opportunity. While David Williams and David Muddemer gave our young visitors the chance to make a wish at their hand-crafted wishing well.

The Centre’s remarkable woodworking skills are also on display in the centre of town in the Market Place. David Williams, Steven Reeve, Gavin Hamilton and David Hill purpose built two wooden planters to fit round the Hadleigh sign so that there is a place for flowers throughout the year.

Our sincere thanks to those members of the New Skills Centre for contributing to the Festival, to their director Jo Kerley for facilitating the collaboration and to Nick Cook for making it happen. JD

It can be a lottery selling or letting your house... but with these six numbers we’re sure to find you a winner

SMART Alarms Why buy an ordinary burglar alarm when you can have a smart home alarm system? Smart alarms are the burglar alarm system of today. They do everything an ordinary burglar alarm system can do, and a lot more besides.

Like a traditional home alarm, they can be set and unset by entering a unique user code in the alarm keypad or simply presenting a key fob to the keypad.

They can also be programmed to sound the external siren, contact an alarm receiving centre, or alert you when activated, if required.

So what is the smart part? Amongst many other great features, the motion detectors in a smart alarm can have a camera built in which takes a sequence of snap shots when the alarm is activated and sends those images instantly to your smartphone. Let’s assume for a moment that, like us, you sometimes forget things; did I lock the back door, did I switch the alarm on …. you know the feeling. A smart alarm eliminates that worry.

Not sure if you’ve switched your alarm on? NO PROBLEM, check the secure app on your smart phone and, if it’s not, set and unset independently with a simple swipe motion.

Not got a smart phone? No problem. A smart alarm can still be set and unset just like any ordinary intruder alarm system. In fact, we can make it ultrasimple and provide a small handheld remote to enable you to set/unset at the click of a button, just as you do with remote central locking on your car.

Concerned you’ll forget to set? We can program your smart alarm to auto set at a pre-determined time of your choice – say 9.15 to 17:15 (Mon-Fri) when everyone should be out of the house at school, at work or ….. ahem ….. the golf course!?

What happens if your burglar alarm goes off? Do you think your neighbours go round and check your home? Not according to a recent survey.

Now what ….? You’re at work – perhaps 30 minutes away or away on holiday.

Is it just a false alarm or is your house being torn apart by intruders?

Unfortunately, with an ordinary alarm, you will never know and only find out when you get home. Wouldn’t it be great to get alarm notifications instantly via your smart phone and, at the tap of a button, get visual verification of what’s actually going on inside your house?

That’s the power of the smart alarm!

A thank you from Phil As those of you who know me will be aware, I was admitted to Ipswich Hospital in April where I was diagnosed with cancer and given the disappointing news that no treatment options are available to me. Whilst in hospital and on my return home I have been showered with cards, beautiful flowers, gifts and visits from well-wishers and friends. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for these and all the other kind acts from my friends, neighbours and family during my battle with cancer. I also want to say thank you to those who put me on the prayer list at St Mary’s and to those who prayed for me.

One of the touching acts of kindness is the money raised by my friends and companions at Hadleigh Swimming Pool some of which I have used on beauty treatments to help me restore my natural loveliness!

The thoughtfulness shown is a great comfort to me and lifts up my spirit. I feel very blessed by all the kindness shown in helping me to bear this illness. A special thank you to my wonderful carers, the community health team, my GP Dr Irwin, hospital consultant Dr Mallinson and the team at Ipswich Hospital for your care and compassion during my illness. Also, thank you to my loving family, for your love and for being there for me.

Finally, over the past few months you have all made me feel very loved and cared for, I appreciate this and the continuing visits of my friends, neighbours and family very much.

Hadleigh Footpath Volunteers We’ve decided, in response to a number of requests, that July’s walk on Saturday 15th will be a long one starting and finishing at Hadleigh. The 11.5 mile route will start along the railway walk to Hook Lane then Layham, Shelley, Fox Farm, Sodom & Gomorrah, Pintins, Holton Hall, Great Wenham, The Wenham Queen, Little Wenham, The Woodlands and back to Hadleigh via the Railway Walk. Although a little longer than usual, the walk is a very interesting one and we will set a modest pace making a couple of rest stops (the second at the Wenham Queen) along the way.

As usual, we will meet as St Mary’s School car park at 0930 and we hope to be back in Hadleigh around 3pm.

With weather in the 30s, plenty of conviviality, and entertainment, the Hadleigh and District Twinning Association marked its latest trip to our French partner towns in France. Some 50 members joined us for a special trip to celebrate 40 years of Twinning with Rousies, and a 20 year link with two neighbouring towns of Ferrière-la-Grande and Ferrière-la-Petite. At the welcoming reception we met our host families, many now old friends, and as we left the reception, we were each given a commemorative present and a publication detailing the history of the towns of Rousies and Hadleigh over the past 40 years.

Saturday was spent in nearby Mons for a Belgian lunch followed by a guided tour of the city, which included the beautiful cathedral. Then back for a celebratory dinner at Chateau De La Motte, a beautiful restaurant located in the French countryside. Here we were wined and dined, and listened to speeches, including one by our new Mayor, Yvonne Free, who presented each of her 3 counterpart Mayors with framed tapestries depicting the Hadleigh town crest joined with the respective French crest. The meal was interspersed with DJ encouraged inspirational and novel dance moves well into the night proving again that music is an international language.

Sunday was spent more leisurely with our host families before we all came together in the evening at Ferrière-la-Grande for a night of folk dancing and a hog roast. Our hosts also a provided tombola with a difference in that every ticket was a winner. Monday arrived all too soon and it was time to say Au Revoir until next year, when the French visit us, with a farewell breakfast before the coach back to Hadleigh, with a visit on the way to the museum and military cemetery at Thiepval, a peaceful setting in contrast to the horrors of the battle of the Somme, it commemorates.

After a smooth Channel crossing, it was a happy but tired coachload that returned to Hadleigh in the early evening full of new memories and stories.

If you are interested in being part of the Twinning please contact the secretary Jane Marsland 01473 828392 for more information and details of the various Twinning activities happening in Hadleigh.

Local home improvement firm wins Company of the Year accolade Home improvement specialists SEH BAC have been named South-East Company of the Year by the elite Master Window and Conservatory Installers Association (MWCIA), an organisation which helps consumers find outstanding window and conservatory companies in the UK. The Suffolk-based window, door and conservatory installers have received the prestigious accolade for their consistently high standards of customer service, ethical trading practices and high-quality products, installations and support. “As you can imagine, we’re SEH BAC managing director absolutely thrilled to be named Company John Savage (left) with Don of the Year for the South-East by the Waterworth MWCIA, the trusted voice in consumer protection,” comments John Savage, Managing Director at SEH BAC. “This award further demonstrates our passionate commitment to putting our customers first.” The MWCIA was established by respected chartered building surveyor and engineer, Don Waterworth, who used his expertise in the industry to create an independent database of reputable installers for homeowners. By using a MWCIA-qualified installer, homeowners can rest easy in the knowledge that they are employing a firm that has been thoroughly vetted and operates completely above-board.

Don comments: “With a company as large as SEH BAC, it could be easy for standards to slip, but I couldn’t be more impressed with their attitude, their professionalism and, most of all, their dedication to their customers. We’re delighted to name SEH BAC as Company of the Year, and I would recommend them to any homeowner in the area.”

Part of Ipswich-based One Group Construction, SEH BAC are one of the largest home improvement firms in the area and in the country. They specialise in windows, doors and conservatories, and operate 17 showcentres across the South-East, East Anglia and the Home Counties, with more planned in the near future.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029

TOW N HOUSE FA RM

Thank goodness for a bit of peace and quiet in the kitchen, now all the wildlife has returned to it’s natural habitat. Mind you, it’s hectic outside with people running around in all directions, preparing for our Open Day and Fun Dog Show 12-4pm on Sunday 30th July.

Mum says the theme should be silver as we are celebrating twenty five years of animal rescue at Leavenheath.I’ve heard talk of games, competitions, face painting, a vintage corner, cakes, bbq, music and an ice cream van for the humans. Meanwhile there are fifteen dog show classes plus specials and a fun scurry all afternoon and don’t forget to meet the animals awaiting new loving homes too. As Mum has lots of enquiries to follow up after Open Day we will be closed during August, except by appointment or for emergencies.

Just a quick run down of our other events: 1st July, Summer Dance at Assington Village Hall, see us at the Vintage Rally, Melford Hall 1st and 2nd July, Shelley Fun Dog Show on 8th July and the Long Melford Street Fair on 9th July – details on our website.

Must go now as one of my favourite humans has just arrived. Young Henry is ready to go out for a walk with my Lhasa pal Beau and me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

If so, you may be interested in our ‘1960’s Plus Grand Reunion’ to be held on Saturday September 23rd from 7.00 p.m. in the Long Melford Village Hall. This is an opportunity to come along and share memories and maybe meet up with old friends not seen in so many years. We’re asking people to book ahead, with a payment of £10, which should cover the cost of the hall and a finger buffet. We’ll be holding a raffle on the night to cover any extra costs. We hope that everyone will bring along items of memorabilia, and that, during the following year we’ll be able to produce a second volume of memories of the school – the first was produced by the Old Students’ Association a couple of years ago. The OSA meets twice a year, and we’re aware that there are a few year groups who have their own reunions from time to time. This is a one off extra special event. If you’re interested then contact Pam Cram (nee Collett): 86 Pontardawe Road, Clydach, Swansea, SA6 5PA 01792 845942 or pcram@headweb.co.uk Please pass on the information to anyone you know who could be interested, but remember it’s ‘first come first served’ due to limitation of space in the hall! I can provide the full information and booking form either by post or electronically for you to pass on.

Look forward to seeing a full hall and hearing all those memories – good, bad, amusing or poignant

Surviving Winter in Hadleigh Spend e or £30 or m

We took up our stall in the Market Square in June with our old neighbours pleased to see us again. We were not seeking to raise funds but to distribute our new panic alarm fobs. These can be held on a key ring, attached to a belt or clothing. They are simple to operate with a very audible alarm with a light for use in darkness. There are many situations that can arise where the elderly or the disabled need to raise assistance: i.e. a trip either at home or outdoors, sudden illness, certainly for a mechanical fault, the possibilities seem endless. An alarm fob could prove invaluable to get assistance quickly.

The major charities have a system which gives immediate contact to an operator for which there is a fee. The fob we are offering is to draw attention that help is required from those within the immediate vicinity and completely free. This supplements our Surviving Winter in Hadleigh existence as first responders to those in fuel difficulty or any other required assistance to get through a bitter, possibly fatal cold spell. On our first venture of issuing the emergency fobs we have distributed seventeen plus one in the care of Hadleigh Mobility in the Market Place for a demonstration and which can be collected from us. When next we are in the market on Friday we will have twenty fobs available. There is NO CHARGE to those OVER 65 years of age and no longer in employment but a small donation is welcome from those that can afford to do so. For those disabled there is NO age limit or donation requested, young or old. Please do not be too independent to have an alarm fob as you never know whether your voice can summon help far enough.

News from The Station I expect like us here at the Station you have experienced the very hot and sticky weather over the last few weeks and are constantly trying to get fresh cool air into your homes. Please can I remind you to make sure that when you leave your house, that all doors and windows are securely locked and do not offer any temptation to opportunist burglars. Over recent weeks several areas have been targeted by thieves who have broken into properties via patio doors, only for the owners of the houses to come back to find untidy searches have been made and personal valuable items have been stolen. Do not make life easy for the burglars.

With recent terrorist attacks around the country, Suffolk Police would ask you to be vigilant. If you have any suspicions or see or hear anything, please call us and report it. High profile events / festivals / concerts are being particularly heavily presenced by uniformed and armed police officers and dogs. The safety of the public is paramount and Suffolk Police, together with other forces want to make these events enjoyable for all.

As we enter the 6 week school holidays, Hadleigh SNT would like to ask all parents to make sure they know where their children are?, what they are doing ?, who they are out with ? Also please remind them to respect our open parks and play areas. Pick up rubbish, bottles, and be wary of the fact that little children also want to enjoy the play areas in our towns and villages, and do not want to hear loud swearing and abusive comments. Everyone should be able to enjoy the summer days.

A quick safety warning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the temptation to cool ourselves down in water throughout these long hot summer days is of course on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.

Please take care. Our rivers, streams, mill pools and reservoirs might look very welcoming, but also carry hidden harm. Often dangers are hidden under the surface, rubbish, metal as well as natural weeds and tides can be dangerous. We would strongly urge you to think before you dive in.

Hadleigh SNT will be out and about throughout the summer at various events / school and village fetes, as well as community engagements in some of our villages. Please take this opportunity to come and meet the team. We will advertise these events as much as possible so please follow us on TWITTER, details below. Also if you have any other questions, issues or concerns for the team, please do not hesitate to contact us on any of the following ways.

Until next time, please have a safe and enjoyable summer from us all at Hadleigh Police Station.

Recipe for Success

by Sarah Thompson My lovely neighbours turn up every so often with some home-smoked salmon – yum! They are also responsible for holding a Boxing Day barbecue, which prompted my husband to turn up in shorts and Hawaiian shirt. (Trust me, it doesn’t take much!) I also have some lovely friends who introduced me to pulled pork. As the temperatures climb, do take the opportunity to get together with friends and neighbours and have a barbie!

Pulled Pork Ingredients: Boneless shoulder of pork (about 2½ kg) 2 tsp smoked paprika 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp pepper 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp salt 2 medium mugfuls of cider 1 mugful of a good smoky barbecue sauce Soft white rolls, Coleslaw Method 1. Mix the paprika, ground cumin, pepper, brown sugar and salt. Rub over the pork.

2. Put the pork in a big casserole dish, skin-side up, and pour in the cider.

Cover with a lid and cook at 150C/130C fan/gas 2 for anywhere between 4 and 8 hours until falling apart. Check every few hours in case it gets dry – if it does, add another mugful of cider.

3. Take it out of the oven and put the meat in a big dish, leaving the liquid in the casserole. Cut the skin off, then shred the meat using two forks. Ditch any fatty bits, and skim any excess fat off the surface of the sauce.

4. Add a mugful of a good smoky BBQ sauce to the casserole, mix it in, then ladle some into a bowl for dipping. Put the pulled pork back in the casserole with the juices so it stays moist. Season to taste. Can be made one day ahead.

5. Serve in soft white rolls with some coleslaw and the bowl of juices on the side for dipping the sandwich while you’re eating.

Owls provide three birdies in a row for golfers

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish

Golfers on a Suffolk course have witnessed the ultimate – three birdies in a row. It did not occur on the fairways or greens of Newton Green Golf Club, but in one of the two barn owl boxes the nature wise club has installed beside one of its fairways. The three baby little owls were recently gently removed from their box by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, tagged and put back in their nesting place. Martin Brightwell, head greenkeeper, said: “We installed the boxes three years ago, and in the second year in one of them we had four baby barn owls, which were tagged by the trust. “Now we have had three little owls in the same box. The second box has attracted only squirrels, and it is being relocated.

“The wildlife trust is hoping it might be able to trace some of our four barn owls from last year. I would be interesting to know how far they have spread.”

Bespoke Nutrition Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all change at Bespoke Nutrition. By the time this magazine goes out I will have relocated from Kersey Mill to Zest Health and Fitness Centre in Sudbury Suffolk. I will be continuing with my Reflexology and Hot Stone Reflexology Therapies but I will be adding to my practice the 3D Lipo Med Treatments which I am now fully trained in.

There will be supporting eating plans which clients can purchase to help maintain healthy weight loss.

All of the 3D Lipo Med treatments are non-invasive and painless. This latest technology involves the removal of body fat and cellulite and also skin tightening treatments. This is done using a combination of ultra sound, radio frequency and cryolipolysis (fat freezing) the results are both immediate and ongoing.

Hadleigh Physiotherapy are a team of experienced and dynamic health care professionals, aiming to provide you with the highest level of patient care.

Additionally, our team take part in various sporting activities and this month Director and Physiotherapist Will is cycling across the Dolomites in Italy culminating in the gruelling 137km Maratona Dolomites race. Will has been cycling since 2012. What began as a form of exercise with a friend, trying to protect joints from old injuries has become more competitive which is evident by their decision to test their fitness in the hills of Europe.

Training for this feat started in September 2016 and has involved 4 weekly sessions ranging from 45 minutes on turbo trainers to 3-4 hr rides on the road trying to find steep hills to cycle up and down to condition their legs in preparation. However, a sports massage with Kerry every few weeks has helped ease tired muscles.And finally, Will’s dietary tips and preparation….try not to drink too many glasses of wine the night before!

Have a good bowl of porridge with a handful of blueberries for breakfast.

Expresso is a must before setting off with a pint of water and regular 20 minute food intake if out on a ride for longer than 2 hours. Although sticky, dates are his favourite snack along the way and plenty of fluid post ride to avoid dehydration.

Stay tuned to next month’s Hadleigh Community News to see how Will has got on or follow us on Facebook to keep an eye on their progress!

Clopton Rose Ceremony In 1436 William Clopton, Lord of Toppesfield Manor, granted land for a Guildhall and market to the Town of Hadleigh, the rent to be one red rose per annum.

In 1983 Gene Clopton discovered that rent was 500 years in arrears.

The people of Hadleigh duly paid up, but because of their past history of payment, Gene demanded that the rent be paid in advance henceforth and this has been done ever since. On Trinity Sunday each year during the morning service at Long Melford Church, the Mayor of Hadleigh puts a single red rose on the tomb of Sir William Clopton, which lies at the back of Long Melford Holy Trinity Church, as rent payable for the Town Hall Complex. This is considered to be the oldest payment of rent anywhere in the country. The photograph shows Hadleigh Town Mayor, Councillor Yvonne Free, accompanied by her Deputy, Councillor Bill Wilson, the Rector of Holy Trinity Church Rev’d. Matthew Lawson and the Chairman of the Long Melford Parish Council, Councillor Liz Malvisi at this year’s service.

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk I was extremely grateful to have received such a strong mandate from the voters of South Suffolk at the recent general election. Achieving over 60% of the vote, the highest share in the constituency's history, was something I would not have dreamed of. However, I am fully aware that this is only a time limited mandate, and there is now a duty for me to deliver and keep working hard as your Member of Parliament. It looks like I will continue to serve South Suffolk against a national backdrop of seemingly never-ending Westminster drama.

The cause of this latest bout of unplanned intrigue was an election result that few had predicted when Theresa May surprised the nation, including myself, in announcing that she would go to the country.

But the one lesson I have learned as an MP is that nothing is predictable anymore. And so we face a Hung Parliament, and at the time of writing, talks with the Democratic Unionist Party are progressing about coming to some kind of arrangement for them to support us. I would emphasise that the DUP have previously entered into talks with other Governments who were not sure of their majority, most notably Gordon Brown's Labour Government. If it turns out that they do commit to some kind of agreement it is unlikely to be a full coalition and it does not mean for one minute that we are endorsing all of their views or policies. Rather, it is a fact that the country requires a Government and we have a duty to find a way to provide stability amidst the current uncertainty.

Of course nobody wanted this outcome but politics is about facing up to the reality of one's position and dealing with it. That is what we are doing. We must not forget that our country is confronted by a heightened level of terror threat and imminent Brexit negotiations which will be extremely challenging. It is simply not possible to proceed confidently as a people without a Government able to do its core job of stewarding the nation from day to day.

Pause For Thought 'The writing's on the wall!' How many times have we heard that said about a person or a situation? Did you know the phrase originates in the Bible? In the story of Daniel (who later gets up close and personal with lions), there's a King who gets too big for his boots and God gets his attention by showing him a hand writing on the wall. The message is not good news for the king, he doesn't change and the prophecy comes true. There is, however, another occasion where the Bible tells us about the hand of God writing. This time it is Jesus who writes in the dust when a crowd wants to stone to death a woman caught in adultery. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If any of you is without sin, throw the first stoneâ&#x20AC;?.

As he writes, the crowd melts away. I wonder what he wrote, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recorded, perhaps he was writing the sins of those holding stones, ready to condemn.

Soon there is only the woman and Jesus left. Jesus asks her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Has no-one condemned you?â&#x20AC;? She replies â&#x20AC;&#x153;No-oneâ&#x20AC;?. Jesus, who was perfect and could have thrown the first stone, says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then neither do I. Go now and leave your life of sinâ&#x20AC;?. Such love and compassion is shown in that small phrase. Maybe as we realise we are not perfect and that Jesus shows us His love and compassion every day, we could show that love and compassion to other imperfect people around us and the world would be a much better place.

News from Kersey School Owls Owls are now excitedly preparing for their end of year play, which is Roald Dahl's version of The Three Little Pigs. Our learning in English is also going to be based around this well known tale. This half term, we have visited Hollow Trees and learned all about how it runs as a business; we found out a lot about the day to day running of the farm and its shop. Owls are looking forward to celebrating all of their learning with the County Music Service at Hadleigh United Reformed Church; everyone has learnt the clarinet and we are becoming experts with some rather tricky tunes!

Badgers In Badgers class we have been developing our ICT skills by coding our own stories based on the legend of Baba Yaga. We have also been coding machinery as well as creating the front of our board games on Paint and Word.

We have been focusing on the topic of Russia this half term and have been busy making our own scrap books at home. In our Art lesson we have used images of Russian gymnasts to create a piece of art where it looks like the athlete is flying through the air.

We are also really excited to be starting our Roman topic next term, which includes a trip to Colchester Castle.

Hedgehogs This half term Hedgehogs class are learning about mini-beasts.

We have been on a mini-beast hunt to help us learn about their features and habitats. We are looking forward to finding more mini-beasts Monday when we go pond dipping at Bridges Farm. In Literacy we have been researching different mini-beasts and writing our own non-fiction books using headings and sub-headings. This week we have focused on spiders and found out some very interesting and unusual facts. In art we have made clay mini-beasts and a giant hugry caterpillar from papier mache. During our PE sessions we are busy practising for our upcoming sports day.

Squirrels Squirrels have had a busy start back at school learning all about Space. We have enjoyed creating alien wanted posters, made ourselves into astronauts and created lists of items we would take to the moon. In PE we have been busy practising ready for our upcoming sports day. We have enjoyed throwing javelins and learning how to jump. We are looking forward to our visits to Bridge's Farm in the next few weeks.

If you would like to know more about Kersey school or would like to arrange a visit please ring the office on 01473 823397, email: admin@kersey.suffolk.sch.uk or visit our website: www.kersey.suffolk.sch.uk

Report written by Jessica Fryer and Eli Chigome, journalists – Rowan class St Mary’s have been working hard this term learning about and using our Christian values. Our Christian Value for this term is respect. We gave a warm welcome to our guests and we thank Jackie Cork and Bryn Rickards for lovely worships.

Nursery and Reception have had a great month, going to the Sea Life Centre and having fun. Their sharing café was about The Bad Tempered Ladybird.

They made ladybird biscuits and went on a mini beast hunt in the playground.

They have also been busy getting fit in preparation for our Sports day which takes place on the 29th June.

Year 1 have had loads of fun this month with making swords, going on trips and sharing cafes. They had a lovely sharing café reading and learning all about the ‘Tiny Seed.’ They made beautiful sunflowers with pretty petals. On their school trip they went to Hedingham Castle and held swords, helmets and maps. Mrs Brinded nearly had her head chopped off! Our trip to Hedingham Castle: - A wet, dark, but brilliant day! Early Tuesday morning we arrived at school, it was raining – Oh No! Firstly, we came into class and registered then got ready to go on the coach - we were all very excited. Then we walked in the drizzly rain to get on the coach – it was huge! We got to sit with the people in our group. After a while we arrived. A man from the castle called Simon dressed in olden clothes came onto to our coach and told us where to go. We walked through a wooden door and sat in a dark but grand room with bumpy walls and colourful material hanging from the ceilings.

When we were at the top of lots of stairs we sat down and met a man called Steven, who told us all about what we would do if we were servants.

We also learned that they would have to climb the steep stairs many times to set up the great hall and feed the Lord and his guests’ dinner. After that we met the musicians, who told us that music was an important part of entertainment and how they would dance in the great hall after they had feasted. We did a circle dance and then learned about the old instruments that were called bagpipes and a cittern. Then we went back downstairs into the castle kitchen. We played some games and we won the beanbag toss. Next it was time for lunch. Finally! We were really hungry!

Suddenly it went dark! There had been a power cut so all the lights had gone out because of the stormy, windy weather – Oh No! Luckily some people found some torches and we were able to venture down the scary staircase into the dark and creepy store rooms. Here we met Sam, the Archer, and Simon, the soldier; they were very loud and scary. Then Sam the Archer showed us how to load a bow and arrow but he couldn’t shoot one because we could go outside. The lights came back on for a little while but then went off again!

We met a medicine lady who told us about the different medicines she used in the castle. If you had a headache they would tie a cabbage to your head.

And if you had sore eyes they would rub them with snail slime – disgusting!

Finally, we met a man who told us all about defending a castle and what you would do inside the castle if the French enemy attacked. If they were using a battering ram to attack, you could pour boiling liquids on them or throw rocks at them. Then if they tried to climb ladders, you could swipe away the ladders with long, pointy sticks. Then they might start to attack by digging tunnels and making fires beneath the castle!

Then we went back downstairs with all the other schools to say goodbye and thankyou to everyone. We walked very quickly down the big hill to get back on our coach. In the end we were a bit soggy but happy. What an amazing day we had at the castle.

Year 2 also went to the Sealife Centre at Clacton and had a great time too.

They experienced what it is like to be under the sea and the waves. During their sharing café, the book that they had read ‘Sharing the Shell,’ inspired them to go to the Sealife Centre.

Year 3 had a sharing café about Fantastic Mr. Fox. They learnt about the characters and did colouring and crossword activities. They have also been thinking about not having litter dropped all around the school. This is part of their RE learning on stewardship.

Year 4 have had a sharing café about The Jungle Book and made beautifully colourful rainmakers inspired by jungle characters and the sounds of the rainforest. They have done really well with Accelerated Reader and are achieving excellent scores.

Year 5 and 6 have been working together to make portraits of wealthy Tudor Lords, Ladies, Kings and Queens as part of their topic on Tudors. They first drew their figures and painted the background. Then they used collage materials to create the beautiful clothes.

This term, we have also had a visit from M and M Productions who put on an excellent performance of The Jungle Book for the entire school to watch and enjoy. Thank you to the Rosa Simon Music Fund and the Parent Support Group for funding this for us.

New Business Launches in Sudbury to tackle rural isolation amongst the older generations A new business has launched in Sudbury to help provide a better quality of life and combat rural isolation in later life.

1 Oak Home Care was created by local resident Angel Doyle. Angel identified a real lack of holistic care for older people in the community and set about remedying that. After researching and spending time working with the Care Quality Commission to gain their approval, the company is now active and seeking clients in Sudbury and surrounding areas.

With a background in training for the health and social care industry, Angel noticed a need for an organisation to tackle the growing problem of isolation in rural areas. According to Suffolk Age UK, over 15,000 people over the age of 65 in Suffolk are often or always lonely. That’s 1 in 10 people.

Angel says: “The team at 1 Oak feel passionately about delivering high quality care and beating isolation. So much of the time we hear of inadequate quality when it comes to the care of our loved ones. With a population of aging people the quality of care delivered is more important now than ever before.”

“Although there are many good providers who offer basic care for their clients, we aim to go above and beyond, supporting both the persons needs and wants. What 1 Oak Care is looking to do is offer services that contribute to a much better quality for life. The care we offer to our clients is extended to our staff, we treat staff as if they were our own family and support them in every aspect of their career” 1 Oak has been joined by Theresa Street who has 20 years’ experience as a qualified nurse and brings a wealth of clinical knowledge in many different care settings. Theresa has the same passion and drive to bring highly personalised care to the community as in her words “There is nothing more important than leading a fulfilling life, if we can support that then we consider ourselves privileged to serve the community in a holistic way” Combatting isolation in Sudbury and rural areas is one of the 1 Oak family’s goals. 1 Oak plans include social invitations, accessible events and supporting truly independent living, encompassing real quality of life.

1 Oak Care are offering everything from regular personal & respite care, to home maintenance and organisation. They will also organise day trips and local social events to encourage friendship and prevent loneliness. 1 Oak Care has joined forces with a local hairdresser and a dog walker, both fully DBS checked and they are looking to work with other local businesses, who can contribute to the quality of life of their clients.

Hadleigh Steering Group Meeting 5th June 2017 Notes of Proposals/Decisions/Actions Main Agenda item: How can Hadleigh adapt to change?

IMPORTANT MAY Steering Group Meeting – How can we make more of our historic buildings in Hadleigh?

We were alerted to errors in the text; corrections have been made and reprinted below. We apologise for any misleading information. Discussed ‘Friends of St Mary’s’ – group has going for a number of years – funds raised to repair structure of church. Need more members to raise more funds. The Deanery Tower is a part of the Dean’s home and therefore not open to the public.

The Guildhall and Market House (opposite the Church) have no free usage of any space. Hadleigh Town Council pays to use the office space and Council Chamber. All other rooms are available for hiring out by Hadleigh Market Feoffment Charity and should the Town Council wish to book any of them they need to pay for them separately.

There are 3 rooms at the front (opposite The Ram), one of which (The Dining Room) is licensed for weddings, as well as the Council Chamber and Old Town Hall, which are located in the older part of the complex.

Rooms are regularly booked for weddings / wakes after funerals and classes.

There is disabled access to the Dining Room and the Grand Hall, both in the Victorian end of the building, but no disabled access in the medieval part which cannot be done. The Guildhall Complex will not be open during Heritage Weekend.

Updates: Festival of Gardening and Art The launch at the May Show was the first opportunity to see the beautiful set of four different Cedric Morris Iris cards created by local coloured pencil Artist Emma Kerridge. We were pleased to speak to so many people and give away Festival programmes the full Festival Programme can be downloaded from the website visithadleighsuffolk.co.uk Tidy Town volunteers provided excellent support at the May show, as they regularly do about the town. Additional help was needed to retrieve several road cones thrown into the river.

Steering Group Representatives.

The last review of representatives was October 2016. Each of the five groups - residents, community groups, business, Hadleigh Town Council and Babergh District Council contribute two representatives, one or both attending and reporting back on St Grp activities to their respective groups. This in no way excludes others from attending.

Discussions lead to a proposal that the St Grp discuss the potential for a change of name and the advantages and disadvantages of a formal constitution. As a result due to the shortage of time it was decided that other Agenda items would be held over till the July meeting.

Next Meeting: Monday 3rd July 4.15pm – 6.00pm at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure Social Room Main Agenda item: How can Hadleigh adapt to change? Including a review of the advantages and disadvantages of a formal St Grp Constitution and possible change of name for the group.

If you have any suggestions for Agenda items please contact the Chairman, in good time, before the meeting. snowdonjane@hotmail.co.uk

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre Dear friends, we have another ask of you, and your dear families, to help us receive a massive boost to our funding.

It won’t cost, all we want is for you to click! We have been nominated as one of the charities that will receive money from the Freemasons Charitable Foundation that is launched this year in celebration of the 300th anniversary of The United Grand Lodge of England. 300 charitable organisations across the country will share in a cool £3 million pounds!

The public has to get involved. It’s a bit like Britain’s Got Talent actually so please help us to receive the maximum possible prize in this wonderfully generous charity talent competition: Voting starts 12th June until 31st July 2017. mcf.org.uk/vote please vote for The Shelley Centre in the ‘Province of Suffolk’ MORE VOTES = MORE MONEY! The grant money we have applied for would be used to excavate and then re surface the ponies’ yard at the back of the stable buildings. Over the years it has been badly undermined by rabbits, the surface is either a thick wet sea of gloopy mud or a hard and uncomfortable clay bake. The horses and ponies come in here to await their work, or to shelter from the elements; it is one of our most useful enclosures. I never see it of course, but I hear the maintenance team worrying about how to keep it safe for the live herd. Knowing them, they will have more items on the wish list too, so please get voting and ask your friends to do the same!

Just to remind us what this is all about, look at Kay-Kay, who is nearly blind, enjoying her time on Bob with her team of helpers beside her. My pony colleagues and I help many such riders here at The Shelley Centre and we don’t come cheap!

Next month I shall have pictures of the Shelley Show for you, and of course, the Dog Show, which takes place on July 8th, after I shall have gone to press!

Synergy opening under new name Ansell Memory Cafe We would like to thank friends for their lovely prizes for our Raffle on 27th April. We raise £72 and hope you will support us in the future to keep the funds going. You will be welcome to come and see us at The Ansell every Thursday 11 am to 3 pm.

Poetry Corner Although Hadleigh is my home now, I lived in London for many years.

This poem, like my heart, goes out to both London and Manchester.

Bridges Beautiful Borough, the city surrounds you.

Sirens won’t silence our solidarity.

Death, where is your sting?

Evil, where will you hide?

We stand united by your division.

We build bridges, forge friendships.

We turn to love.

Love wins, laughter heals, we are moved, yet not moved.

And we will move on.

The Whoosh Effect!

So the latest diet started really well – a great loss in the first week (this is mostly water and happens on any diet plan) then it settled down to a steady amount each week but, suddenly it stops. You’ve not cheated, you’ve drunk plenty of water and you’ve done some exercise.

What is going on..? We tend to believe that weight loss happens immediately - we had a really good day yesterday so we should be lighter, thinner today, shouldn’t we? Of course, it’s not that straightforward. This is where it’s important to keep your nerve if the scales don’t show what you’re expecting.

As you burn fat, those fat cells can fill with water, sometimes making those areas feel ‘squishy’. You may not be aware of it. This can last for just a few days or even up to a few weeks – not great for motivation. Then, just as suddenly the body expels the water and the scales and your measurements play catch up! You get your result after all! Phew!!

Interestingly it seems to happen the same in reverse – you get away with overindulging for a few days then, wham, you feel horrible & fat and bloaty!!

If you need help with your weight loss, when you choose Cambridge Weight Plan, you’ll have the benefit of 1-2-1 meetings with your own consultant who has personal experience of the programme, understands how you’ll feel along the way and has helped countless people achieve their dream.

Accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord has over 8 years’ experience. For individual help with your weight problem, contact her today on 01449 737113/07519 177645 or www.facebook.com/val.lord.cwp.

For more information, go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL You can get the body you want, and like thousands of others you could soon be saying “I wish I’d found Cambridge sooner!”

Ofsted - June 2016

Summer Holiday Programme Our summer holiday programme of activities is now open to primary age pupils in the Hadleigh community. We have a variety of activities delivered both by the school and outside providers.

Please visit the school’s website for further information and booking forms.

Places are limited.

Any questions, please do ring the school office.

Music We had an exciting lead up to the half term break with 125 children from Key Stage 2 taking part in our Summer Music Concert. There were two evening performances with a variety of musical instruments including violins, flutes, clarinets, classical guitars, trumpet, piano, three large recorder groups, a ukulele orchestra and a bell/boomwacker group. There were several talented and brave soloists and the concert finished with our large choir of 100 performing Skyfall, True Colours and This is our World.

We are very proud of all the children for their hard work and dedication leading up to their performances. We would also like to thank the audience for their generous donations towards our musical instrument fund.

Key Stage 1 (Year 1) Year One enjoyed a very sunny day at Colchester Zoo at the end of last half term. Building on our Animals topic, pupils were able to see the types of habitat animals live in and find out about the foods they eat. They all enjoyed herbivore, omnivore and carnivore spotting and investigating collective nouns. Did you know a group of penguins in water is called a raft but on land they are collectively called a waddle?

It was a real treat to walk through the Wallaby Walkabout and see the wallabies out enjoying the heat. Even when an eagle eyed Mum spotted the baby rhino some of us struggled to see it because it was so well camouflaged, we thought it looked like a rock!

Each class then had a session run by experts at the zoo about the rainforest, habitats and animal classification. Pupils came back buzzing with excitement and full of new knowledge. It was a wonderful day.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) latest campaign to recruit volunteers was a huge success, with over 40 people signing up to add themselves to frames like this one and help the charity in its shops across the region. The good cause relies heavily on volunteers to help in its 23 shops by steaming clothes, sorting through treasured donations, designing window displays and serving customers with a smile.

Ian Nicolson, Head of Retail and Trading, said: “We’re really pleased that our recruitment campaign worked so well and captured the imaginations of so many people who stepped forward to donate their time. “We try to maximise the amount of money we raise to fund our children’s hospice services by using volunteers as much as possible and we’re incredibly grateful to them all for their support. To have the help of an additional 40 people is simply excellent news and it will be a huge boost to our shops.”

EACH shops have seen help come from people of all ages, from students who volunteer as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Awards through to retired people who want an opportunity to get out of the house and make new friends.

The shop in Sudbury also attracted new support, including local resident Sally: “I used to be a regular customer and saw the advert for volunteers in the paper.

I have signed up to work all day on Mondays. The other volunteers are so friendly and work so well as a team. I am loving it so far.”

For both families accessing care and those who have been bereaved, EACH is a lifeline at an unimaginably difficult time. The charity has to generate 75% of the money it needs to operate and relies on public support to continue its service.

If you are interested in volunteering for EACH please call 01223 205 183 or visit www.each.org.uk/support-us/volunteering.

Holey St. Benton - Failed again !

In February SCC Highways Department repaired pot holes in Benton Street.

They failed within two weeks. More repairs in April have failed yet again. Over 4000 drivers use Benton Street daily. No surprise that Hadleigh’s SCC Councillor was voted out in May because of inaction. Many Hadleigh residents vented their frustration. Let’s hope our newly elected Councillor for Hadleigh takes note. Hadleigh residents want action to improve their southern access route. So too do the residents of Benton Street.

Benton Street Interest Group - bentonstreetig@uwclub.net

Backs For The Future After a year of uncertainty, and temporarily having to relocate the practice to my home, I am pleased to announce that I have reopened in the tranquil surroundings of Kersey Mill. The location gives me the flexibility to offer evening and weekend appointments, and also easy access due to the abundance of parking available. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the patients who have supported me over the last year, and also my local community for making sure that I did stay within the area and I did reopen.

Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you want any advise or even just want to pop in and visit the new practice. I would be very pleased to see you.

After a visit to Wymondham Abbey

Hadleigh Hairloom Walk In Family Salon

Opening Hours: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9 am to 5.30 pm Tuesday 9 am to 7.00 pm Thursday 9 am to 8.00 pm Saturday 8.30 am to 4.00 pm

This was a first for me. I knew Wymondham Abbey only through rumours of its renovation, shaped by the architects now engaged by St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hadleigh. I was startled by the view from the churchyard. Two extensions at the east end. No attempt to make the new mimic the old; their metal and glass is unashamedly 21st century. What would they look like from the inside?

The main extension covers the south east end of the church, creating the space for a cafeteria that doubles up as meeting rooms.

Sitting under its glass canopy, noticing the way it floods the renovated flint and brick of the ancient wall with captured light, eased my uncertainties about the possibility of extending St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. If Wymondham can be illuminated like this, why not Hadleigh? I was struck by the Abbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the economical storage areas in the tower, the north aisle opened up for informal worship and quiet reflection, the south aisle with its tasteful gift shop leading away to the cafeteria, the magnificent central space dominated by the restored reredos.

And everywhere the story that has shaped the history of the place for over 1000 years attractively revealed.

Awe-inspiring, flexible (differently so from St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), prayerful, hospitable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these are some of the impressions that remain of Wymondhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewed spaces. What has happened there is not a template for Hadleigh, more a sign of what can be achieved when imagination, creativity, faith and skill are allowed to work their magic on the pastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gifts. Who knows how these might shape St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? We can only say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;watch this spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Estate Gardener. Although Ken Marchment kindly offered to speak when our scheduled speaker was unable to come, his talk was highly appropriate so soon after the launch of the Hadleigh Festival of Gardening and Art. Before retirement Ken had worked as a gardener and woodsman on the massive estate which surrounds Laverstoke House in Hampshire. At that time it was the home of the wealthy paper- making, family the Portals. For Ken it was more of a passion than a job and over the years he happily tackled all aspects of estate work from spuds to saplings, cottages and river Ken Marchment and Liz Wilson maintenance. It wasn’t just the nature of the work which was fascinating but the many unique characters he met during his time there. The estate is now owned by the current producers of bank notes De La Rue, and is firmly closed to members of the public. Our thanks to Ken for stepping in at short notice and entertaining us so well and to Georgie for deftly handling the projector.

Our Man in Havana. It’s not easy to change a good book into a successful play but the recent adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel worked well. All characters were played by three men and a woman which meant some of the men were obliged to step into female roles. Greene draws upon his own travels and experience of the world of espionage to create a bizarre, humorous tale.

The touring company, Creative Cow, will take the play to thirteen different venues in four months including the New Wolsey and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds in June/July.

Abbott Hall in Stowmarket is a Queen Anne styled house which is now part of the Museum of East Anglian Daily Life. Once inside this imposing house, the mini exhibits in each room explore the idea of home as not just where we live, but also our sense of belonging to a place in East Anglia. There are some surprising links with today i.e. the holistic approach to treatment at the St Audry’s Psychiatric Hospital, formerly at Melton near Woodbridge and an interesting profile of Lady Balfour the founder of the Soil Association. While enjoying light refreshments in the garden of St Osier Tearoom next door, the group decided a return visit was needed to see all this ‘living’ museum has to offer.JD

Restoration of St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-known clock faces is completed Work to restore the prominent clocks on the tower at St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church in Sudbury town centre was completed this week as craftsmen added the final layer of gilding to the clock faces.

This concluding phase brings to a close a restoration project that has taken several years and provides the town with a church clock tower to be proud off. The work has been carried out by a team of experts from Norwich-based Michlmayr which has a national reputation for its horological services. The project was overseen by Sudbury Town Council in collaboration with the Friends of St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (FOSP), the charity responsible for looking after the 14th century church located in Market Hill.

Sudbury Council town clerk Jacqui Howells said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Town Council is very pleased that the work to refurbish and repair the clock faces on St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has now been completed. St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church is an iconic landmark and many people will have missed the regular chimes of the clock and looking up to check the time. The church and clock tower are an important asset in the town.â&#x20AC;?

FOSP heritage officer Roger Green added: "We have the Town Council to thank for collating the many and varied arrangements that have finally brought us to this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Friends of St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have offered their contribution towards the cost in memory of the late Tony Wheeler. Those who knew Tony will remember that his house was well supplied with clocks. I hope that the golden faces, glowing in the sunshine, will remind us all of his engaging smile. "The great tower of St Peter's is impossible to ignore and will now appear as even more impressive.â&#x20AC;? St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has become established as a hub for events in Sudbury including farmers markets, art exhibitions, music concerts, Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular Kettle and Fish cafĂŠ and the annual Christmas tree festival.

The venue attracts around 60,000 visitors every year, making it one of the most used redundant churches in the UK. To find out more about events coming up at St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit www.stpetersudbury.co.uk

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Jonathan Barker gave an interesting account of how to turn an empty 6 acre field into a food forest. Inspired from an early age by his grandad Jonathan has always enjoyed working in the garden. Having worked for 10 years making videos of peoples weddings, Jonathan seized the opportunity to buy a 6 acre field in Wickham Bishops in Essex. Martin Crawford a pioneer in the forest system of cultivation, had written a book which Jonathan used as a guide for transforming his field, which initially contained just 1 oak tree.

In 2010, aided by his Dad 1,000 saplings were planted, these had to be protected from rabbit damage and mulched to encourage growth. Ponds were dug in the lowest part of the field, plants that need the most attention were planted in the middle of the site, while fruit, and nut trees were nearer the perimeter. A veg. patch was ploughed with a friends Massey Ferguson tractor, also a children's play area was created. Fruit cages were erected to protect the soft fruit from bird damage.

The aim is to encourage as much diversity as possible, raptures, buzzards, skylarks, frogs (control the slugs), badgers (they love the sweetcorn), polecats (quite vicious), foxes (control rabbits) all visit the site. Spare produce is given away. Willow is grown which produces some income and 2 to 3 acres of woodland produce firewood. The Essex Botanical Society identified 101 species of wildflowers. Beehives are also on the site. Jonathan only has a small shed, the long term plan is for an education centre, so visiting groups can be made more comfortable. Jonathan invited us to his "Maypole Forest Garden" we shall be adding that to next years' programme.

The competition - One rose bloom was won by Kate Banks, 2nd Maggie Miller and 3rd Julia Wild. Our next competition in August is 3 tomatoes on a plate.

We also have plants and produce for sale, look forward to seeing you in August. Our coach trip to Pensthorpe in July has been cancelled due to lack of support.

East Anglian Garden Group Visit to Spencers Garden, Great Yeldham Twenty EAGG members enjoyed a perfect day for exploring the garden at Spencers in early June. To greet us by the car park was a group of young Suffolk Red Polls destined to grow the new herd and sampling the lush surroundings. Our tour began with meeting delightful Lynne Bogie for a brief history of the house and garden.

The current house was built by Lady Anne Spencer in 1760. You can read more of it's history on line. Lynne, the current owner, has been there for only 6 years and was new to gardening when she arrived, and we admired her enthusiasm and determination to make the garden work. Walking to the one and a half acre walled garden, Lynne explained that this area retains the grid system laid out in Georgian times and some of the beds are being systematically restored. Huge lavender 'hedges', large borders of not uncommon herbaceous planting, and masses of rose bushes, including a circular crossing point surrounded by Rose 'Graham Thomas', make impressive walkways, and keep 5 gardeners very busy.

We were impressed with the old brick built bothy which appeared to have a very large upper storey. This holds a huge tank of (tons of) rain which still supplies of water for the garden, as Lynne demonstrated by opening a huge water pipe into the garden sink. The pretty 18th century greenhouse is under restoration, replacing the woodwork and re-using the original small panes of glass. Lynne took us on a woodland walk beyond the walled garden, where there are two impressive badger setts where the family come and watch.

Luckily, no mention was made of badger threats to the walled garden. The woodland extends with the river Colne forming, when we were there, a quiet stream in a deep cutting. Lynne told us she had begun to make designs to plant the banks, but hastily withdrew when it became evident that the water was inclined to rise in torrents at times of the year, making exciting bathing opportunities.

The woodland walk lead us to the restored coach house for tea and cakes served by family members and Lynne joined us to share wonderful photos of the garden in all seasons through her years there.

Our next outing will be on July15th, when we will be visiting Cobbs Hall at Great Saxham, which has 2 acres of lawns, colourful herbaceous borders, ornamental trees and lily ponds. There is a parterre, folly, walled kitchen garden, fernery and stumpery, cascade water features and a pretty courtyard.

Afterwards we will call in to Paugers Nursery,Depden, where they have over 1500 different varieties of plants, many of them are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hard to findâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and not easily available elsewhere, so we will no doubt be filling our cars with exciting new plants. Details of this can be found, as usual, on the website.

I am hoping to have some very exciting news soon, regarding our celebrity speaker for 2018, so watch this space!!

New members are always welcome, and non- members can join us for visits and meetings for a small charge. eastangliangardengroup.onesuffolk.net

Down to Earth ...with Dave No sooner do I complain about the very dry weather we are getting than the heavens opened up and we get more rain in a couple of days than we have had in a month. Still at least in only poured at the very end of the Hadleigh Show. This as usual was a very enjoyable day out with I suspect record crowds. Back home in the garden the sleeping hedgehog has moved on.

Some telltale hedgehog dirt’s had been seen so a saucer of cat food was put down at night. This was eaten every night but the telltale little footprints were not evident. Not having an expensive motion sensitive camera, a cunning plan was hatched to see if it was a cat or hedgehog eating the food. A large oven tray was borrowed from the kitchen, this was filled with a level layer of sand and the saucer of cat food placed in the middle. In the morning all of the food had as usual gone with very clear cat saw prints very visible in the sand. So no visiting hedgehog. Needless to say we have now stopped feeding the neighbourhood cats. I will still keep a look out for the little feller when on my regular nightly slug hunts and if I do see him he will quickly get fed.

The nest box is still there if he or she decides to use it again this winter. The open gardens season is now in full swing with the chance to see what other gardeners are up to. I managed to visit most of them in Hadleigh and Nayland.

The title of hidden gardens is very true as lots of them are truly hidden away and would not be seen were it not for the open gardens day. Size is not important with some of the best being the smallest. I was however quite envious of the various gardens that backed onto the rivers both in Nayland and in Hadleigh. To have access to the river Stour from your back garden for a canoe or a boat must be fantastic. Though I do worry a little about flooding.

I was most impressed with the garden in Nayland that had a robot lawnmower for the two level lawn with a docking bay on each level.

Now is a good time to take Fuschia cuttings. Lily beetles are a bit of a problem at this time of year with the bright red adults easy to spot and squash. Be careful as if disturbed they will drop to the ground and lie on their back and can be difficult to spot. The larvae live underneath the leaves and cover themselves in their own excreta. Really nasty dirty little things. Use gloves and a bowl of soapy water for their disposal. Spraying is possible but this can be harmful to bees. Picking off by hand is the best answer. If your hedges are like mine and in need of a trim please make sure before starting that there are no birds still nesting, perhaps with a second brood. It is actually illegal to disturb them.

That’s all for this time, Dave

Magdalen Road Flower Beds When Babergh stopped planting flower beds in Hadleigh a small group of volunteers undertook to plant out and look after the beds in Magdalen Road. This has been very successful except for one plot which was used as a short cut. This spring it was planted with wild flower seeds and as you can see there is an amazing display of red, blue, white and yellow wild flowers. An added bonus is that it provides food for bees.

Anyone wishing to join the volunteers should contact Jane Haylock at the Idler

Fed up with hard water and lime scale? Fitting a water softener will save you money and time East Anglia has some of the hardest water in Great Britain. The scale build up on shower screens and taps, that ring of scum in the basin, and limescale in kettles are some of the visible consequences of hard water.

We have to resort to using large amounts of washing powder, conditioner, extra salts in the dish washer and expensive bathroom cleaning products to overcome the dreaded scale. In my professional capacity I’ve replaced countless appliances that should have had a longer service life. Scale blocks water ways in boilers and hot water pipes. Heating elements in hot water cylinders and electric showers get encrusted and fail.

All these problems can be solved by fitting an ion exchange water softener. Laundered clothes will feel softer, after showering your skin will feel smoother, you’ll use far less detergents and the adverse effects on your plumbing system will start to reverse.

If you would like to know more, give me a call. I’m happy to show you a simple 15 minute demonstration and provide an installation survey. A typical installation can be done in one day.

Towards Passchendaele In this article we remember: Bertie Gowers - 17 July 1917 William J Newson - 30 July 1917 Charles Edward Lamb - 31 July 1917 July 1917 saw the start of the third Battle of Ypres (Third Ypres), a major British offensive in the Ypres Salient. Throughout the war the ancient city of Ypres had been held by the British who had continually defended the city against German occupation. By the middle of 1917 the place lay in total ruins. Following the successful capture of the Messines Ridge in June the front line had been pushed about half a mile to the east of the infamous Hill 60 and it was here, in ‘Hedge Street Tunnels’ that Private Bertie Gowers was serving with the 9th (service) Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment. By mid July the British had started their intense preparations for the big offensive with the preliminary British bombardment starting on 16 July.

The Germans countered with disruptive shelling and on 17 July Bertie Gowers was killed in action by an enemy shell. His body was taken behind the line and buried in Larch Wood beside the railway line that still passes Hill 60. Bertie Gowers was born in 1891 and brought up in Writtle in Essex. In 1915 he married Hadleigh girl Phyllis Buckledee.

With conscription expected the next year, Bertie it seems voluntarily enlisted into the Essex Regiment under the Lord Derby Scheme in December 1915 no doubt hoping to gain a bit of extra time at home. Not a lot of time was gained and he was mobilised in February 1916 and assigned to the 9th (Service) Battalion (Alexandra Princess of Wales’ Own) Yorkshire Regiment. It seems likely that he was with the battalion during the Battle of the Somme and certainly was there at Messines Ridge shortly before being killed in the build up to Third Ypres. Bertie had two children who after the war lived with their mother at 27 Angel Street. Bertie is remembered on the Hadleigh and Writtle War Memorials. Like all who served overseas Bertie was awarded the British War

Royal British Legion Hadleigh Branch & Club Entertainment Friday 7th July – Disco & Karaoke Other events will be posted in and around the British Legion

Medal and the Victory Medal, but over the years the latter medal became lost. In 2015 the missing medal turned up and in a ceremony at the Hadleigh Royal British Legion Branch was reunited with the family.

As the start date for the Ypres offensive drew near, the artillery bombardments intensified.

Driver William Walter Newson from Hadleigh was with the Royal Field Artillery in the area of Dickebusch, south west of Ypres. He was killed by an enemy shell on 30 July, the day before the battle began.

William Newson was born in Hadleigh, living in The Green and later at 77 Benton Street.

He enlisted into the artillery at Woolwich early in the war as part of Kitchener’s New Army and went to France in August 1915 just prior to the Battle of Loos.

He was with the 104th Artillery Brigade of the 23rd Division and was involved in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The Brigade was later detached from the 23rd Division in January 1917 and moved as the Army Field Artillery Brigade to Ypres. William is buried in Dickebusch New Military Cemetery and is remembered on the Hadleigh War Memorial. The first phase of Third Ypres began on 31 July 1917 and was known as the Battle of Pilckem Ridge and took place over an 8 mile front with the objective of capturing the high ground from the Ridge to the Gheluvelt Plateau which crosses the Menin Road out of Ypres. The initial plan was for the 30th Division to capture the German first line trenches and for the 18th (East Anglian) Division to then leapfrog and continue the advance. The 18th Division included the 8th Suffolks and Hadleigh men.

Unfortunately 30th Division wheeled to the left, crossed the Menin Road and missed their target, leaving the 18th Division to correct the advance and fight through the splintered remains of Sanctuary Wood; an area of trenches preserved to this day. As well as suffering the injuries of the battle, ‘C’ company of the 8th Suffolks had casualties inflicted by a shell burst at Zillebeke on the approach to the front.

Private Charles Edward Lamb from Hadleigh was wounded and died on the battlefield. He was born in Hadleigh in 1884 and was brought up in George Street. Long before the war Charles seems to have had an obsession with joining the army. This began in February 1900 when, under age he enlisted with the 4th Bedfords, but then deserting shortly after. In June that same year he is known to have enlisted again at Ipswich with the Royal Horse Artillery, but in September he was admitted to hospital under observation for ‘defective intellect’ and he was subsequently discharged from the service. In June the next year he enlisted again, this time in London as a gunner in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, under the name Edward Charles Lamb and not admitting his previous discharge. He was found out, put on trial and found guilty of irregularly enlisting, given 56 days hard labour and discharged in January 1902. Not giving up on army life in May 1904 he again enlisted into the Scots Guards, this time as Edward Charles Mann. Four months later he was found out as giving false information on enlistment and was given another 56 days hard labour and discharged. By 1911 he was living with his parents at 93 George Street and working as a domestic gardener. With the outbreak of war he enlisted with the 4th Suffolk territorials in December 1914 using his birth name and was later transferred to the 8th Suffolks. He has no known grave and is remembered on the Menin Gate and the Hadleigh War Memorial.

GREAT WAR NEWS JULY 1917 (as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day)

Wed 11 July - The Hadleigh and Cosford tribunals for military exemption were reported. The military representatives seemed increasingly desperate for men and pressing against exemption where ever possible. Men with poor levels of fitness were being taken and one man who had previously been discharged as medically unfit was now being refused exemption. Family circumstances and disabilities such as deafness were generally disregarded.

Exemption could be given for particularly heavy work such for a coal man, but then only if that was the last coal man in the business.

Wed 25 July - An Echo of the War in Hadleigh. The continuous booming produced by the great concentration of British and German heavy guns on the Belgian coast brings the war near to us. At first various suggestions were offered in explanation of the almost incessant reverberations day and night, but it is now proved beyond doubt that they are caused by the fierce artillery duel going on in Belgium.

Hadleigh Community Choir If you have enjoyed ‘Listening to HCC’ in print, think how much more enjoyable the real thing could be. Here are our summer concerts:

Music for a Summer's Evening July 8th, 7.30pm. Tickets £8 (inc. refreshments) Something for all in our varied ‘end of season’ offering. Prepare to be amused, soothed and have your toes set tapping.

Will be held in United Reformed Church, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DL Tickets from Keith Avis, The Idler or phone John on 01473 823791 or Stella on 01473 823477 Children under 12 free

Do you sing in the shower? In the car? With your children? Good for you! I believe that singing is a natural human ability and maybe even helped us evolve speech and language. So when we sing, we express ourselves in a different and satisfying way. There is good evidence singing is good for your mental and physical health. The NHS recommends five steps to wellbeing.

This is how my experience of being a member of Hadleigh Community Choir relates to this: • Connect with others – Rehearsals are social occasions as well as technical and singing with others helps create a special bond. This can really help with loneliness and difficult times like bereavement.

• Be active – well there is quite a bit of standing up and sitting down, plus getting a good amount of air through our lungs!

• Keep learning – as well as learning words and tunes, we are challenged to think about being expressive through tone and volume.

• Give to others – we support each other with singing and plenty of other matters. Also, some of the proceeds from concerts are given to charities that members of the choir suggest.

• Be mindful – singing is certainly a way to take your mind off worries and problems – you can lose yourself in the moment of enjoying the sound around you.

As a choir member, I also enjoy a huge sense of achievement and increase in confidence from having taken on something I never thought I could be good at. And not forgetting it’s great fun! The smiles on the faces after our recent English Country Garden concert say it all. If this has tempted you to give a choir a go, there are several in the area that would give you a warm welcome.

Hadleigh Community Choir meets on a Thursday evening 7.30-9.30pm at the United Reform Church. It is open to new members, there are no auditions and you don't need to be able to read music. Come for a free try out! More details are available at www.hadscommunitychoir.onesuffolk.net or call John Turnbull on 01473 823791. If you still think it’s not for you, just think how many of those benefits also come with attending one of our concerts. Stroll along to our next performance on July 8th (7.30pm at URC), chat to the person next to you and lose yourself in the music. I guarantee you’ll feel better.

Just read this?

So will your customers!

French’s had a good two days in the sun at The Suffolk Show, thank you to all who visited our stand and had tea and cakes with us. Our next day out will be at The Tendring Show on the 8th July, I am keeping my fingers crossed for more good weather. The work experience girls from two local colleges have been helping us with a late spring clean on the farm and after their two weeks placement they are still singing and smiling, which is nice to see. Anyone can apply for a placement with us and it is up to you how many weeks you book in for, you do not have to be of school or college age. There is a lot to learn and do, but being around lovely animals and friendly people can only take you in the right direction, especially those who have low confidence or those who have spare time and would like to find something to do that helps a good cause and keeps them active and fit. We have a mower and trimming/lopping tools, that are waiting for a nice chap to come along and offer us some of their time, we are getting a bit overgrown at the moment and could really do with some help on the gardening side of things, if you have a spare hour or two a week and like pootling around outside, then please give me a call, I would love to hear from you.

I would like to thank Sudbury Tesco for giving us a monthly donation of apples and carrots, the horses and donkeys look forward to an apple or carrot in their evening meal.

Thanks you Mel and thank you David who drives over and picks them up for us. I am still looking for a home to rent anywhere within a 25 min drive to Hadleigh, somewhere in a quiet or private location suits me well, after living surrounded by an 8 acre wood and fields for the last 11 years, I have been spoilt I know, but there are places out there for a trustworthy tenant with excellent references, that is not a fortune to rent, I just have to find it!! Looking a tough ask at the moment, but I am keeping faith that the perfect property and landlord comes along for me.

If you know of somewhere or you have a property and would like a long term tenant, then please give me a call. Our donkeys love the summer, we have 4, Badger is a bit shy and legs it when you get a camera out, silly boy, hence why he is not in the photo. Badger is getting better though, when he first came to French’s he was so very frightened of people, he was always the dot in the background, it was a task and half to put a headcollar on him for the farrier, I have devised a method now where I can catch him quickly and calmly, so he does not get stressed and we do not get mowed down when he tries to get away. I rescued the donkeys from someone who left them in shear neglect, to the point Minstrel the tiny one in the picture could not even walk, because his feet were so long and crippled.

The donkeys are a joy to have around and it is funny when there is a spot of rain, they run into the barn for cover, their natural instincts kick in. Donkeys have a different coat to horses, unlike a horse a donkeys coat/fur is not waterproof, the rain soaks through and they suffer in wet conditions and must have access to shelter at all times, otherwise chills and pneumonia can easily develop, if left without sheltered protection. Donkeys have life friends, through research and recordings donkeys feel huge grief and emotional trauma when permanently parted from an already bonded friend.

There is heart wrenching videos of donkeys crying in inconsolable grief when separated, or if a mate dies. When I get asked if I would like to re-home one of our donkeys I have to say no, they are a tight team of friends, even if Badger is shy and stands back at times, they all stick together, that is how they will stay and it is lovely to see.

If you have some spare time to get involved and possibly learn new fund raising skills that you maybe never knew you had, or show us what you know to work, then get in touch with me, let’s meet and I will introduce you to our animals and the young people who have had confidence problems that we help, we would love to see you see you.

Life in Angel Street is never dull in this Suffolk author’s historical novel Margaret Moore, of Sudbury, has written A Street of Secrets, where support among the street's residents is invaluable.

Set in the East End of London, Angel Street is home to a variety of characters, who live close together, sharing each other's joys, tears, and lives. Ethel's collision with Stan's bicycle raises eyebrows. Why do Stan's solicitors insist on involving the rent collector, in his affairs? Then there is Rose, who appears to be teaching the vicar some of her old ways. When Churchy and Liz decide to investigate, they find more than they bargained for. The next vicar comes as another shock. Meanwhile young Tony is unwittingly apprenticed to burglars, causing problems for one or two other local residents.

The new neighbour is a real eye-opener, and what about the mystery lady who stands watching on the corner?

She says: “I wrote this book in the timespan of my childhood because it was such an interesting time. I have created fictional characters which made these streets safe for me and my friends and they were thought of as extended family. Those streets hadn’t escaped the bombs and the problems of rationing were still being tackled, but the attitude always stayed in my memory. Those people you can’t forget.”

Margaret Moore was born in the East End of London during the war years.

Leaving school at the age of 15 with no qualifications she took further education to achieve the skills of a secretary during this career spanning 37 years, she worked as a legal secretary in London, Essex, and Suffolk, retiring in 2006. She began her writing career with a children's book. She lives in Suffolk with husband Norman. They have two sons, two grandsons and two great grandchildren.

Dear Sir, M W Partridge & Co Ltd - Yes I am stepping aside, No we are not closing!!

Partridges will be up for sale as I think I should stand aside to allow someone younger to take over as I am over 80!! I have been running the business here since 1984 and over the past few months I have been planning for the future of M W Partridge & Co Ltd. Change is inevitable, but it is my wish for Partridges to stay on Hadleigh High Street and continue to grow and prosper.

The staff have not been given notice or made redundant, it is business as usual but hopefully with a new owner for the future.

I would like to say a big thank you to Crockatt Garage, Hadleigh. On Thursday 1st June my sister was visiting me from Watford and her car broke down on the slip road just off the A12. Hammonds Recovery took just 20 minutes to recover her car and took it to Crockatt Garage where they got the part for her and worked all day so she could get home. What outstanding service! Sincere thanks to them all.

Mrs Susan Blake and her sister Mrs Causier

Dear Sir, On Wednesday May 24th The Chamber of Commerce posted a question relating to Sunday opening in Hadleigh High Street on its own Facebook page and it was shared on a number of other pages related to Hadleigh. This followed comment made the Business Editor of the EADT at the Business Breakfast Forum a few days prior, as a potential element of evolution for the High Street.

The feedback received resulted in coverage of the topic on BBC Radio Suffolk and ITV Anglia News over the following days. It has widely alleged this was a contrived attempt at cheap publicity and that complaints were received regarding the use of independent comments in the media’s coverage.

We, the Chamber, want to be clear that neither of the above were the intention of the Chambers post, nor a result of it’s own actions. Anyone who raised a complaint is due a response and we urge you to contact us by email to contact@hadleighchamber.co.uk.

Sean Garnham, Chairman of the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce

Dear Sir, It seems that we cannot turn on our televisions without being witnesses to a daily diet of hatred, fanned and fueled by the media, whether it be war, acts of terror or incidents of hate crime or indeed crime in general. Stories of loss, fear and shattered lives are sadly commonplace.

But we have also seen stories of love, solidarity, bravery and communities standing together. To this end, I would like to thank the people I know, and to those I don’t, who came to support my 91 year-old mother who fell outside our house and nursed her both physically and emotionally before the paramedics arrived. As I write, mum is recovering in Ipswich hospital, and she joins Simon and myself in thanking Hadleigh for being such a kind and caring community.

POLICE Councillors Sheldrick and Wilson advised Council on their recent attendance at the Parish Policing meeting held on the 10th May. Anti-social behaviour is the policing priority for Hadleigh and an operation was being planned to deal with this.

When asked what crimes the police would not respond to the Inspector stated that a triage was carried out on all calls taking into account the seriousness of the crime and the prospect of retrieving forensic evidence or the realistic prospect of apprehending an offender.

ELECTION 2017 The Clerk advised Councillors that Councillor Fraser had been elected as Suffolk County Councillor. There had been no official notification received from Suffolk County Council.

Councillor Sheldrick requested the Clerk to advise Babergh District Council that he felt the use of Beaumont Primary School as a voting station was unacceptable as he knew of at least two residents who had been unable to gain access to the school so were unable to vote.

ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £16,278.52 including HMRC, Utilities, SCC Pension Fund and staff salaries be approved for payment.

REPORTS It was agreed that existing arrangements for County and District Councillors to provide written reports at Council Meetings would continue as it was felt that this was very useful. Written reports had been received from County Councillor Fraser and District Councillor Dawson. It was noted that the Police would not be available to attend every meeting.

SPORTS & OPEN SPACES COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 4th May 2017 was received and accepted.

COUNCILLOR SURGERIES There were a number of suggestions made as to when and where Councillor Surgeries could be held. As no final agreement was reached it was agreed to defer this subject to the September meeting when it was felt that there would be more information available concerning the District Council’s move to Ipswich and how this would affect Hadleigh Town Council.

BABERGH ASSOCIATION OF PARISH AND TOWN COUNCILS Councillor Shearly-Sanders presented a report on the recent meetings he had attended.

Details had been provided to Councillors on their recommended letter to be sent to Bill Newman and neighbouring parishes concerning the Local Plan.

The Clerk was asked to liaise with the Chair, Vice-Chair of the Planning Committee and Councillor Shearly-Sanders on how Hadleigh Town Council should approach this request.

TOWN MATTERS There were no town matters.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.35pm Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons), MILCM – Town Clerk Report of the Meeting of the Planning Committee held on 8th June 2017 Present: Councillors: Angland, (Chair), Byrne, Fraser, Haines, Haylock, Matthews, Shearly-Sanders, Sheldrick, Whiting, Wilson, and Young. In attendance: One member of the public CHAIR OF PLANNING COMMITTEE Councillor Byrne nominated Councillor Angland as Chair which was duly seconded and voting was unanimous.

Councillor Angland signed the Declaration of Acceptance of Office and took the Chair for the rest of the meeting.

VICE CHAIR Councillor Angland nominated Councillor Haines as Vice Chair which was duly seconded and voting was unanimous. Councillor Haines signed the Declaration of Acceptance of Office.

FINANCE & PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE Councillor Byrne was elected as the Committee’s representative for the ensuing year.

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence had been received from Councillors: Cook, Monks, Wiltshire and Free. These apologies were accepted.

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillors Matthews and Shearly-Sanders declared a non-pecuniary interest in planning application B/17/01110/OUT as they both know the applicant.

MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 13th April 2017 was confirmed as a correct record and signed.

MATTERS ARISING The Clerk reported a letter that a resident had visited the office in connection with planning application B/17/00948 on which an officer delegated decision to recommend approval had been made. The resident provided a copy of a letter of objection that had been sent to Babergh District Council. The Clerk had discussed the matter with the resident informing him that any objections would need to be copied to the Town Council for the Committee to take into consideration when making a decision. Babergh District Council had also now approved the application. The Committee decided it would be a good idea to have a standing item in each Hadleigh Community News informing people of the need to copy letters of objection to the Town Council before the applications are discussed.

At this point the meeting was adjourned for a member of the public to speak on planning application B/17/01110/OUT. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Officer Delegated Decisions made on Friday 12th May 2017: B/17/00408/FUL Cross Farm House, Station Road, Erection of two storey split level dwelling with integral garage, parking/turning area. Refusal was recommended as pre all previous reasons.

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The Chair updated the Committee on the work of the Neighbourhood Plan group including the attendance at the Hadleigh Show which had proved successful and she thanked those Councillors that had helped before and during the event.

GREENWAYS, 7 BRIDGE STREET The Committee noted the response received from Philip Isbell of Babergh District Council relating to this planning application. They felt that, once again, the Town Councils valid planning concerns were being ignored and also that the tone of the letter sent to the Clerk was condescending.

ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS Councillor Matthews asked whether any updates had been received regarding the renaming of Friars Hall Nursing Home to Hadleigh Hall Nursing Home. Both the Chair and the Clerk had emailed the company running the home and whilst the Chair had received a reply the Clerks email had been ignored. It appeared that the company did not feel there were any problems with the renaming.

Councillor Haylock asked whether any updates had been received regarding the garage at the rear of the Royal Bengal. The enforcement notice had been served and the Clerk reported the matter was now in the hands of Babergh District Council to undertake the enforcement of the notice.

Councillor Sheldrick queried the marquee that had been erected at the rear of the Kings Head as this now appeared to be a permanent structure and also there had been new gates installed and there was only one parking space left.

It appeared the licensee had not sought Listed Building Consent for these works and the Clerk was requested to contact the local District Councillors for information.

The Clerk reported a letter received from Babergh District Council in connection with the changes to consultations on new planning applications.

She reported that in future the Town Council would only be provided with paper copies for major applications. Paper copies would be available for all other applications but would need to be requested on a case by case basis by email.

Every new planning application received by Babergh District Council would result in an email sent to the office containing a direct web link to the application. It was agreed that for a one month trial the email would be

forwarded directly to Councillors so they could peruse the application on line before the meeting. It was further agreed that should the Clerk feel the application warranted a paper copy she would request one prior to the Planning meeting. After one month the Committee would review how the new system was working and resolve how they would wish to continue working in the future.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 8:11pm.

Letter www.layham.org from Layham

gather photographs of marriages recorded in St Andrew’s Marriage Register since 1900. The Local History Group took the project on and grew the number of marriages featured to 90. We are hoping to break through the 100 soon as a result of new contacts made during the exhibition.

The whole thing was made possible through a grant from the Suffolk Community Foundation Suffolk Rural Fund which enabled us to purchase display screens and for photographs to be enlarged to a size suitable for exhibition.

Are you new to Layham?

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

It was also agreed that Steve Laing should be re-elected Vice-Chairman.

• Suffolk County Council report Councillor Jones said that, following the recent elections, full council had now met for the first time to confirm the Cabinet.

• Annual Return The internal audit had been carried out by SALC and the key recommendations arising from the report were noted. Sections 1 and 2 of the Annual Return were approved and the document would now be sent to BDO for external audit.

• Village Keeper It was agreed to request a quote for edging the Green in Upper Layham. The Chairman suggested people living in Lower Layham should be encouraged to put forward ideas for future activity.

• Emergency Plan – weather warnings Storm Doris had resulted in a need for clarification of the Emergency Plan processes when the Met Office issued weather warnings. It was agreed to hold a brief ‘refresher’ training session for council members and Emergency Link Volunteers in September. It was also agreed that the purchase of a fourth defibrillator to be located on Brett Green should be an agenda item for the next meeting.

• Data Protection The Clerk explained that all organisations that electronically processed personal information were required to register with the Information Commissioners’ Office; the cost was £35 per annum.

At the close of the event the PCC is able to report a profit of over £1000 which goes to the maintenance or development of the building. Well done everyone.

Layham Playing Field Our field is an attractive place and attracts teenagers from Hadleigh who, sometimes, do not behave well. Their language is often offensive and their litter is plentiful. There is a small area of damage to one of the new goalmouth surfaces. If that damage spreads it will be a very costly repair. In early June a group broke branches from trees in the conservation area. We have no village policemen – so it is up to all who use the field to remind these young people that they are guests in Layham Layham Playing Field 100 Club Winners of the May draw were: £25 Ticket No 50, Elford £15 Ticket No 95 Bynoe News from Layham Village Hall The Village Hall Committee recently held their AGM – the new committee is: David Pratt, Chairman; Richard Cromwell, Treasurer; Richard Groom, Booking; Katy Black; Secretary. They have held some workdays at the hall to carry out repairs, maintenance and cleaning. The hall will be out of action for a period of one week between 27th July – 3 August 2017 as the wooden floor is going to be re-sanded and sealed.

The new floor will allow for other bookings such as yoga or children’s dance activities that require a smoother surface. The hall had some special visitors during the week of the 29th May – Pilgrims walking to the Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham - making a welcome overnight stop.

The next meeting will be held on Monday 3 July 7.30pm if there is anyone who has any ideas or suggestions they wish to submit. Bookings are made through Richard Groom on 01473 822220. Hall hire fee is £7 an hour.

We are now thinking about days out by the seaside, we are turning our roleplay area into a ice cream parlour and hope to have lots of fun in the garden with sand and water! We are now enrolling for September 2017 – July 2018.

We are now in full Summer and as of the 23rd of this month we begin to get darker skies again - THANKFULLY! The Sun: Date Sunrise Sunset 7/7 04.45 21.16 15/7 04.53 21.09 31/7 05.16 20.47.

The Moon New 23rd, Full 9th.

Venus Blazes its pure-white best in the pre-dawn skies at magnitude -4.2.

Jupiter Is still in the constellation of Virgo and shining at magnitude -2 and cannot be mistaken. A pair of modest 10x50 binoculars will reveal the 4 major moons of the planet, and you can watch them over the course of a few hours in real time as they circle their parent.

Saturn Saturn is shining at magnitude 0.2 low-down in the evening sky. On July 7th, it will be located just 3 degrees from the Moon should you need an celestial 'sign post'.

The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twin A recent report suggests that virtually all stars are born with at least one sibling companion. This is very evident to the casual observer on any given night as you look through binoculars or even small telescopes at almost any of the stars above. Stars are formed from nebulae, which are clouds composed of vast amounts of hydrogen and helium gas. Over time, these clouds begin to 'collapse' in on themselves and with a little help from gravity, the wheels are set in motion for the start of stellar formation. This is a very simplistic version of events and the subject for an article within itself. If stars form close enough together, their mutual gravitational attraction will keep them as a pair forever, but if there is a large separation, in distance as they form, they can drift apart.

For hundreds of years we believed our Sun was unique in that it was the perfect size and on its own in space, thus allowing our solar system to be stable and so life was allowed to flourish. But now, we believe that we have located our Sun's sister and her name is HD 162826 and is located just 110 light years away and appears in the constellation of Hercules and has a magnitude of 6.46, meaning a pair of binoculars will be needed at least. So far we have not located any Planets, but terrestrial planets (rocky worlds like Earth, Mars, Mercury and Venus) may well exist.

Comparison With The Sun The star is 1.15 times the mass of our Sun and has a radius of 1.11 times that of our star. The surface temperature's are only off by 432 deg, with our Sun's surface at 5,504 deg and HD 162826's temperature of 5,936 deg. Our Sun is the elder of the sisters at 4.6 billion years old compared to HD 162826's being 4.5 billion years of age.

So if you get the chance, pop out and look at the Sun's sister.

Until next month, Clear Skies !

A childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity is appealing to residents of Hadleigh to help fill its retail vans with furniture.

East Angliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospices (EACH) will have a van collecting in the town every Wednesday as part of a new drive for donations.

The charity is after good-quality furniture including solid wood items, pine wardrobes, tables and chairs, bedside tables, coffee tables and clean sofas.

To put into context the difference a piece of furniture can make to the vital work EACH does caring for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and supporting their families, here are some examples of what your donation could pay for: - A pine table and six chairs worth ÂŁ100 could pay for a set of nursing kits - A corner display unit worth ÂŁ70 could pay for two hours of specialist care - A bedside table worth ÂŁ25 could pay for a support group for siblings EACH is a lifeline to so many families at an unimaginably difficult time but relies on voluntary donations for the majority of its income and needs to make some ÂŁ2.5 million a year from retail.

Harriet McBride runs the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Retail Distribution Centre (RDC) in Thetford, where all donations of furniture are taken and sorted for distribution to one of EACHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23 shops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be at least 25 by the end of this year - across the region.

She said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donations are so important to the success of our shops and we really need more furniture as our retail portfolio continues to grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got anything you no longer want but that remains in good condition, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to give us a call and see if we can make use of it.â&#x20AC;?

To book a collection, please call the RDC on 01842 821620.

St. Elizabeth Hospice Fund Raiser On Sunday 28th May 2017, a fund raising night was held at The Brewers Arms, Polstead to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice in memory of my lovely dad, the late David Edward Leeks. We could not have got through my dad's illness without the hospice and we wanted to give something back.

The evening was hosted by Shaun and Mitch from the Brewers who kindly provided supper for everyone that took part. Chris and Michelle Warren put together a very entertaining quiz and 15 teams took part.

The evening raised a wonderful sum of £555 which was presented to the hospice at the beginning of June by my mum, Paulette Leeks. We would like to thank everyone for their help with the evening, especially The Warrens for organising the evening and The Brewers Arms for their wonderful hospitality. We would also like to thank everyone that took part in the quiz and bought raffle tickets and donated raffle prizes.

Thank you all, Christine Morris & Paulette Leeks

‘Defending The Harbour’ Landguard Fort, Felixstowe by Dave Wood Stoke-by-Nayland WEA presents its Annual Day School at Stoke-by-Nayland Village Hall on Saturday, 15th July 2017, 10 am.

Landguard Fort is situated on a peninsular, opposite Harwich and where the Rivers Stour and Orwell join to flow into the North Sea. It has a long rich history, but its major triumph is the preventing of the last full scale invasion of England by the Dutch on 2nd July 1667 - exactly 350 years ago this summer!

By 1900 the Fort was obsolete, until the problem of reliability of large bore breech loading artillery was resolved. The Fort was manned throughout both World Wars, but by the 1950s the rocket age had arrived and in 1956 Coastal Artillery was finally closed down Dave Wood has been involved with Landguard Fort since the 1980s and was present when the first guided tours were carried out.

Total cost is just £19 including coffee on arrival and the talk by Dave Wood in the morning - followed by a buffet lunch. In the afternoon a coach will take us to the Landguard Fort for a visit. We will have the opportunity to enjoy a guided tour of the Fort. The coach fare, entry to the Fort and the guided tour are included in the cost. Tea and snacks are available in the Fort or in a nearby beach cafe (cost not included). Suitable footwear should be worn. Early booking is recommended.

To book please contact Sue Whiteley - 01787 210945 or email: whiteleysa@hotmail.co.uk

News from Whatfield CEVCP School We are all looking forward to Summer activities, especially as the children have been working so hard showing off their knowledge in Phonics and SATs tests recently. We are always thrilled when pupils make good progress and enjoy celebrating it with them.

Summer is the time when we can also enjoy a whole range of sporting activities, and we have thoroughly enjoyed both the local tournaments and Suffolk wide festivals.

Whatfield were thrilled to win the Hadleigh cricket tournament recently, as our team was made up from pupils across years 3-6.

They suggest a lot of their success as down to taking the mascot, ‘Barney Bear’. Pupils also took part in quad kids, where they enjoyed the experience of athletics in the company of hundreds of other athletes from all across South Suffolk. They were expected to race 75m and 600m, as well as take part in a standing jump, and throwing a vortex howler!

As part of our focus on the arts, we have all enjoyed a piece of dance theatre called ‘Where the river runs’ which had a fantastic environmental message, and was a delightful depiction of exploration and adventure. Pupils were particularly impressed with the strength and athleticism of the dancers, since they had only just been working on gymnastics and dance with our coach, Kelly Mires. We also travelled to the Theatre Royal, to enjoy ‘The elves and the shoemaker’, which was a lovely retelling of a traditional tale.

We were very proud to be invited to see the race horses at Darley Stud, and pupils had a fantastic visit, enjoying the opportunity to look around the immaculate stables, and the kind hospitality of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who provided a delicious lunch for the children.

We have lots of exciting activities to look forward to for the rest of the term, and as always, if you would like to visit us and have a look round our lovely school you will be made very welcome.

Please do telephone 01473 823309 or email admin@whatfield.suffolk.sch.uk to make an arrangement to meet us and take a tour.

Suffolk Constabulary congratulated

by Benton Street Interest Group A lorry driver was sentenced to 8 penalty points and a £645 fine by Ipswich Magistrates for driving an 18-tonne truck along the 7.5 tonne weight limited Benton Street. He mounted the pavement, damaged a listed building and failed to stop. Following pressure from Benton Street Interest Group members, the police pursued the case. James Cartlidge MP and Tim Passmore, the Police and Crime Commissioner added their support. “This successful prosecution will send a clear message and help protect pedestrians until our new Suffolk County Councillor gets around to addressing the problems of Benton Street” said Roger Young.

Taste of Sudbury puts town on the foodie map

An estimated 6,000 people spent the day in the sunshine on Sunday as visitors piled in to enjoy this year’s Taste of Sudbury.

Sixty two stalls filled Market Hill and St Peter’s church selling a whole range of products including a wonderful selection of cooked food and street food.

Prosecco and cold beer was flowing from bars provided by Stock and Bailey, The Long Melford Swan and The Duck and Coot and everyone enjoyed music

by The Three Chordettes on the slabs in front of St Peters’s.

Cooking demonstrations took place all day in the kitchen theatre marquee with a line-up of some of Suffolk’s very best chefs including Scott Taylor from the ICE Cookery Experience, James Carn of The Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds, Oliver Macmillan from The Long Melford Swan and Lee Fernandez of Rafi’s Spicebox and over six hundred Dim Sums were cooked (and eaten!) on the KSL Kitchen Stand inside the church.

This year the event was organised by award winning local business Suffolk Market Events owned by Justine Paul, whose aim was to deliver a top quality event with a real focus on locality and quality of product.

She said: “We are thrilled at how well yesterday’s event went. The weather was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. I really wanted to see Sudbury stamped on the Foodie Map and I believe, wholeheartedly, that the success of yesterday has well and truly achieved this. Yesterday really was Sudbury at its best. ’ A number of traders at the event reported significant increases in sales compared to 2016 and all the stallholders were delighted with the day.

Justine continued: “It has been so lovely today to receive constant messages full of fantastically positive feedback from traders, Mark David with a chef from the members of the public, sponsors Long Melford Swan and chefs and we would like to say a huge thank you to all those who participated, attended and helped on the day including Go Start Community Transport, Gryphon First Aid, a group of fabulous volunteers and the town wardens. It is a pleasure to be able to provide such a fantastic, top quality event with no admission charge and I would like to thank all our sponsors, including our headline sponsor, The Long Melford Swan, for helping to make this possible.”

Work will soon be starting on next year’s Taste of Sudbury and gaining more sponsorship will be one of the priorities so if any local businesses would like to get involved, please do contactSuffolk Market Events on 07704 627973

Palme D’or Winner 2016 And Bafta For Best British Film 2017

I, Daniel Blake (15) Friday 21st July at 7.30 pm £3.50 on the door The latest from legendary director Ken Loach is a gripping, human tale about the impact one man can make.

Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is a widowed woodworker who lives according to his own common sense moral code. After a heart attack leaves him unable to work and the state welfare system fails him, the stubbornly self-reliant Daniel must stand up and fight for his dignity, leading a one-man crusade for compassion that will transform the lives of a struggling single mother and her two children. Although not a bundle of laughs, this intensely moving film is graced with humour and heart. Please note it is rated 15 for strong language.

Refreshments will be served at an appropriate interval, together with the sale of our popular choc ices – milk and plain.

Friday 14th July at 7.30 pm

Recent news from Hadleigh Tennis Club Two internal club tournaments were held in May and June. The Mixed Doubles was won by Jonathan Prosser and Hayley Thorpe who beat Alexis Wepener and Kate White 6-3 in the final.

Jonathan and Alexis also featured in the Men’s Doubles final with Paul Knowles and Jonathan beating Alexis and Geoff Scott in that final. They received their trophy from the club’s President, Peter Taylor. The Ladies Doubles will have been held by the time you read this, so result next month.This may not get to everyone in time but we are also holding an open day for all comers on 2 July from 2pm as part of the LTA Great British Tennis initiative.

Hadleigh Cricket Club Sponsored by Celotex Let us start this month with news from the top. At a meeting in early June Gary Girling was unanimously elected the new President of Hadleigh Cricket Club.

Gary succeeds Richard English who served for 8 ½ years. The club sincerely thanks Richard for his service, especially the role he played in the Bicentenary celebrations and in attracting new Vice Presidents to the club, and wishes Gary well in his new role.

With barely a drop of rain the runs have flowed at the Meadow – at least for the 1st XI. Even when they have been on the losing side there has been no shortage of entertainment on offer. There can’t have been many times when Hadleigh have scored 294 and lost, as happened against Halstead. The target then was 311, but the great thing about the team this year has been the fact that scores of 250+ are no longer daunting to chase – and the highlight so far was the win over Worlington when 261 was overhauled, after a club record stand of 176 between Marlon Dias and Tom Piddington. Club chairman Dave Mann called it the finest chase by a Hadleigh 1st team he had ever seen. Five centuries have already been scored, with two apiece for Pidds and Brock Price.

Sadly it has been a very different story for the 2nd XI. We always knew it was going to be a struggle but some heavy defeats, coupled with some poor batting displays when faced with ‘gettable’ scores, sees us propping up Division 4. Pete Tampion’s Academy side however are leading the way in their league with five wins out of six. Not so keen on promotion, Pete has tried all sorts of ways to stem the tide of success, even losing the toss and batting first on occasions, but his team are having none of it! His only hope might be a complaint about the ages of the players? There are certainly some eternal students in the Hadleigh ‘Academy’, with 8 of the team in a recent match being 45 or over, but they would say they are only there while our ‘proper’ youngsters have their own heads in books and exam halls.

More history was made for Hadleigh Cricket Club on June 11th when our Ladies team won their first ever match, watched by none other than England bowler Reece Topley! They followed that up with a crushing win over IES. Neve Flanagan has been in good form with both bat and ball, scoring 26 against Bardwell and taking 3-6 against IES. Win or lose the ladies have been celebrating with Prosecco and Pizza in the new pavilion!

The sight, if the not roar of the truck’s 3.6 litre, straight six engine, which gives 18 miles to the gallon, can hardly be ignored. The Sudbury heating and plumbing engineer is an enthusiastic restorer of old vehicles - with a particular love in recent times of bringing back old American models to their gleaming, showroom prime.

His 1946 Chevy, which was registered in Kansas in 1946, will be among around 50 vintage vehicles which will be part of a show at the golf club to celebrate its 110th birthday on August 6. The event is a curtain raiser for the club’s annual golf week. Russell bought the pick-up from its English owner three years ago, when it had been damaged by a fire in the back, and also had both its front and rear ends stoved in. With his own hands and a bit of specialist help, he set about carrying out a complete restoration of the engine, chassis and bodywork, emphasising: “Some people say they have restored something themselves, but very few do it without some outside input from specialists. I make sure I learn from them, and know I can do it on my own next time.”

Now, he proudly displays his Chevy at hot rod and other specialist shows, including those of the National Street Rod Association, of which he is a member. He also once fully restored a now sold 1934 Sunbeam, which he turned into a hot rod, but found it “too scary to race!”

Russell also owns a 1952 Sunbeam 500cc motorbike, which he restored, and carried out similar work to a now sold on “beaten up” 1952 Chevrolet pick-up and a 1963 Ford Consul Capri.

Jimmy Whittle honoured at Newton Green Newton Green Golf Club has honoured a former stalwart on the same day members played for a new trophy in his name. Builder Jimmy Whittle was the lynch pin behind a number of club house expansion phases following Newton’s development from nine to 18 holes more than a quarter of a century ago. He also took a leading role in assisting in the development of the extended course, and served a term as club captain. Following his passing last year, his son Paul, a former single handicap player at the club, presented a trophy in his father’s honour. Now, members have competed for the Jimmy Whittle trophy in a pairs competition.

At the same time, the club has renamed one of the rooms built by Jimmy. It has been remodelled as a stud bar and named Jimmy’s Room. Jimmy’s widow, Mary, along with Paul, and club men’s captain Gareth Evans, raised a toast under the sign honouring the former club stalwart. The first winner of the Jimmy Whittle Trophy with 45 Stableford points was Kevin Levett and Nick Smith, followed by Mick Gronland and John Sherman 44, Harry Wordley and Ben Tawell 43, and Craig Rollinson and Paul Pengelly 42.
