Peppa Pig is switching our Christmas Lights on!

The Christmas Lighting Up Event will be held on Sunday 30th November from 3pm to 6pm in the Market Place.

Hadleigh Town Council is delighted to welcome Peppa Pig on her first visit to the town. Peppa will be switching on the Christmas Lights at 5:30pm on Sunday 30 November 2014 in the Market Place - who knows when she will visit Hadleigh again? So come along and meet Peppa and maybe even have your photograph taken with her. The Christmas Lighting Up Event will take place from 3pm until 6pm on the same day, come and see Father Christmas and his reindeer, have fun at the fair, visit the childrens stalls at the Ansell Centre, enjoy the food and drink on offer, watch live bands on stage, sing Carols and get your Christmas celebrations off to an early start with us.

Thank you to the sponsors of this event - Celotex and Bekki Lous. Thank you to all the volunteers giving their time freely - too many to mention here but you know who you are and you know it’s truly appreciated by everyone in the town.

But the biggest thank you must go to all the residents of Hadleigh and the many visitors who we know will make this event as successful as last years, Peppa Pig doesn’t want to be disappointed she’d love to meet as many of you as possible.

So come along and support us and have fun. See you there!

Fidelis Activity News A Family Affair: Modern merchandise, unique surroundings but with good old fashioned customer service is the hallmark of the independent family run business Winch and Blatch in Sudbury. Family member, Judith Blatch, was the ideal person to speak to Fidelis members about the store’s chequered past and future plans. With archive photos Judith was able to show the many phases in the shop’s development including its partial destruction by a massive fire in 1922. Historical architectural features are now apparent in the recently opened tearoom where many members had enjoyed a lunch just two days before the talk. The company has also embraced modern technology by selling on line and the hope is to increase this aspect of the business in the future. Mrs Blatch donated her fee to The Forget Me Knot Dementia Campaign.

Do As You Please Day: Fidelis & U3A members plus friends had a charabanc day out to Norwich to enjoy all the city has to offer in the run up to Christmas.

Supper Set: Bistro Le Petit Paris was the venue for the group’s first rendezvous for an evening meal together. It was also the Bistro’s first birthday. Owners, Danny & Claire were friendly, attentive hosts who served delicious food in a distinctly Parisian atmosphere.

BBC East Norwich: Housed in one corner of the spacious, light atrium of The Forum in the centre of Norwich it’s easy to see why their work environment is so popular with all who toil at this important local BBC station. The TV network covers several areas in the eastern region together with two Radio Norfolk studios. In a small downstairs cinema, Fidelis members were first shown a brief introductory video about the key employees in the organisation.

Interestingly, this same auditorium also runs feature films throughout the week for passers-by or weary shoppers. After a fleeting encounter with newsreader, Stewart White, there followed a comprehensive tour of all the work areas including the surprisingly small studio featured on our screens each day. Our multi-tasking tour guides, Debs Bishop and Anna Perrot, were able to give us an insight into all aspects of local broadcasting and even managed to secure a five minute slot for us on Radio Norfolk’s Treasure Quest Extra Time. The visit ended in the famous Tardis of the infamous Dr Who. Jan Devey

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard in Whatfield Hello my dear Readers, Frank and Maria do love to tinker with their computer. They tell me that recently on a Facebook page there was discussion of various things ‘Gibbons’. How exciting and I am taken at how observant everyone is. Facebook seems to delve into one’s computer and mix and match one’s contacts. For that reason, Facebook is not something that I have had much to do with. It was only fitting that my entourage should travel to Whatfield as it has become Suffolk Village of the Year. I have friends and clients in Whatfield and so many congratulations to them all.

Whatfield is a little distance and so I would be more than happy to visit clients at home there should they need me to do so.

I have recently been engaged in a property purchase which should have been perfectly straight-forward except that children were selling their mother’s house and seeking to rely upon a Lasting Power of Attorney as authority to do so.

Tucked away in the depths of the Lasting Power of Attorney though was a provision that the attorneys had no authority unless the Principal who granted the Lasting Power of Attorney had lost mental capacity. It turned out that the owner of the property was of full mind and was able to sell herself and indeed wanted to do so. One always has to keep a weather-eye open for these things.

Sadly a dear friend of the family who so enjoyed his classic cars died in September after fighting cancer for several years.

I attended his cremation at Seven Hills Crematorium at the end of September. I have been to several funerals at Seven Hills and its modernity almost disguises that it is a crematorium.

A recent East Anglian Daily Times supplement was given over to various Ipswich firms of solicitors. There were pictures of groups of grey men in drab suits gathered outside of office front doors. It wasn’t a very exciting advertisement for the profession. It struck me that so many of those people had little real experience of the outside world or of running a business. We know that our clients are pleased to receive an all-round and experienced service. Do get in touch for all your conveyancing requirements, Wills and Probate and Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Energy on Tap Limited Specialist in solar PV installations Hadleigh based, family business Fully trained, equipped and MCS accredited Committed to delivering the best possible service High levels of customer satisfaction

APPROVED INSTALLER

Why you should install Solar PV this Winter Well we have had a fantastic year this year as far as sunshine is concerned, but as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo recently reminded us, our weather is always subject to change and no more so than during the winter months. As the nights draw in thoughts of installing solar PV is probably far from your mind. However, now is a good time to install; let me explain. As 2015 approaches there are 3 things that I can safely predict; Christmas will arrive sooner than we all expect, energy bills will continue to rise and there will be an end of year surge of solar installations.

Why a surge in solar installs, well it is due too the imminent cut to the Feed in Tariff. Ofgem, who manage the UK’s feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme have confirmed that the FIT will be cut by a minimum of 3.5% on 31 December 2014 and so homeowners are keen to install by then in order to secure the best tariff. The drop in FIT is not unexpected. Every quarter Ofgem re-assess the amount of PV take-up across the country and then adjust the FIT accordingly.

The last three quarters have seen the FIT remain static, but scheme rules state that a reduction must occur at least once every 3 quarters. The good news for those who do install PV is that once you are on the scheme, our FIT becomes fixed for the next 20 years and your FIT payments, which are tax free, will actually start to rise in line with the RPI. This is an excellent way for homeowners to counter the effects of rising energy prices.

BUMPER DAMAGED IN A CAR PARK?

Tricia and all the family would like to thank the many people who attended John’s funeral and made such generous donations to Hadleigh and Boxford Medical Practice Charitable Trust in his memory. The very many cards and letters of sympathy were a great source of comfort at a difficult time. We would like to extend special thanks to all those involved in the funeral arrangements and particularly to all the carers and medical staff who made it possible for John to remain at home through his illness.

The Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance invites all to attend their open Dementia Awareness Day on the 14th of November at the Hadleigh Pool and Leisure centre. This event intends to introduce the Dementia-friendly initiatives of the Dementia Action Alliance as well as engaging with members of the community living with dementia and those with an inclination to support their community. The Dementia Action Alliance have produced a series of questions which are designed to qualify and categorise areas of necessity when equipping Hadleigh to be more dementia-friendly, which they intend to roll out with the open Awareness Day being your first chance to give them your feedback. The Awareness Day is also an excellent opportunity to network in your local area and get to know the faces that are trying to make Hadleigh a Dementia-friendly Community.

For further information, please contact Tracey Loynds, Chief Executive, South Suffolk Leisure.

EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT

The Rosa Simon Music fund: first grant made, call for more funding applications The team behind the Fund had a really great meeting with about a dozen representatives from local schools (including the High School), churches, playgroups and registered child minders.

We were able to confirm that the four main grounds for applying to the Fund would be: · Buying and giving away percussion instruments for younger children to use · Buying orchestral instruments (such as clarinets) to loan to older children who might otherwise be unable to do so · Funding tuition costs for playing orchestral instruments for older children who might otherwise be unable to do so · Funding music therapy and support for youngsters on the autism spectrum The Fund has also made its first donation: £170 for the cost of guitar tuition to a local Year 6 pupil. We are now encouraging as many local schools, churches, playgroups and registered child minders to apply as possible.

Application forms are now available on the Rosa Simon Music Fund website: http://www.rosasimonmusicfund.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view= article&id=12&Itemid=127 There was also a strong wish for a number of concerts to be held in the name of the Fund to showcase the local musical talent in the town and to bring together those children who will have benefited from grants from the Fund.

We’ve already had some volunteers to help organise these events in 2015.

The Old Bakery Emporium It’s Our 1st Birthday!

Ron and Amanda are inviting you to come and celebrate The Old Bakery Emporiums’ 1st Birthday on 8th November. They say the last year has been fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable. This is no every day antique shop boring and fuddy- duddy but a vibrant, happy shop that is constantly changing.

The mission was to sell up-cycled, re-usable furniture, vintage interiors and clothing, curios and just about everything!. You won’t find new pieces here, only preloved from all ages and eras - relics and collectables from years gone by. Returning customers are saying how much they love the shopping experience and come from far and wide - Notting Hill in London, South Wales, Edinburgh and were even asked if they delivered to Cornwall! Some have been in many times and there’s always time for a chat. So if you’re looking to buy interesting and different things to dress your home, this is the place to come, without the big shop price tags!

Christmas is not far away.. and The Emporium will be supplying non-drop trees from one of the best growers in East Anglia. These trees are pruned throughout the year, so every tree has a beautiful shape and are cut the day before they are delivered, ensuring they last much longer. Last year some customers were disappointed when they all sold out. Look out for them going on sale on Face Book at ‘Hadleigh Emporium’ which should be around the first week in December, or pop into the shop to place your order.

Join us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/hadleighemporium Call the shop on 01473 808031 Text us on 07956 946625

I have been away from Hadleigh for a week or so. This has not stopped me from striving to protect, defend and promote our town. But these activities have prevented me from writing my usual column. Hopefully, my normal service will be resumed next month. In the meantime, the autumn is now upon us, which means the trees will be shedding their leaves over the coming weeks and months. Due to the large number of trees in the Babergh district (there are over 12,000 on Babergh District Council land), there is inevitably an issue with leaf-fall in the autumn, particularly as the leaves fall quicker than they can clear them up and often continue to fall after they're cleared! The removal of fallen leaves on public highways and Babergh grounds is included as part of the routine street cleansing and maintenance of these areas. Where Babergh receives a report of fallen leaves between routine cleansing of these areas, they will endeavour to arrange an additional cleanse of these, with the priority being leaves which have broken down into detritus. Babergh does not clear leaves from private property (even if the leaves have fallen from Babergh trees) nor do they clear leaves from grass areas - the only exception to this rule are leaves in Babergh parks and Babergh sheltered housing sites. Any enquiries or reports regarding fallen leaves on public highways and Babergh grounds, should be reported to their our customer services, by calling 01473 826622.

Alternatively reports can be emailed to public.realm@babergh.gov.uk or reported online http://www.babergh.gov.uk/report-it.

Thank You Peter and Julie Phillips would like to thank everyone involved in fund raising and helping with our CRY Heart Screening which took place at Hadleigh Leisure Centre in May 2014. The Screening was great success with over a hundred youngsters from the age of 14 to 35 screened for the undiagnised heart conditions that show no symptoms and are resulting in the death of at least 12 youngsters a week. £8500 was raised to cover the costs of the screening in memory of our darling 25 yr old daughter Rebecca who collapsed and died November 14th 2010, it was a devastating time and even four years on it is so hard to come to terms with this, which is why we wanted to have a Cry screening to help prevent another family going through the awful ordeal of losing a child.

A big thank you to the management and staff at The Hadleigh Leisure Centre for all their help in making the screening run so smoothly and to the CRY team for their hard work.

Thinking of our darling Rebecca, missing and loving our beautiful daughter more each day, Always in our thoughts Dad and Mum xx

Beaumont School Report Harvest! It has been full speed ahead at Beaumont School these last few weeks. We have been busy celebrating Harvest with the whole school participating in a special Harvest assembly. The Spiders class played their part in the assembly, led by Rev. Martin Thrower, by reading out their own Harvest poems. The children also contributed to a Harvest collection for the charity World Vision, the money collected going to sponsor a child in Ethiopia.

Our Year 3 and 4 Classes were luckily enough to be invited to St. Mary’s Church where they participated in a series of workshops designed around the theme of Harvest. The children thoroughly enjoyed the range of activities which ȹ

stimulated thought amongst the children about the true meaning of this annual Čą

festival.

Cellar Door Open 1st November – 21st December Jimmy’s Farm Visit To support 11am - 4pm (Closed Mondays) ȹ children’s learning in class,

ȹŗthe Our Cellar Door Shop will be open for wine and liqueur tastings plus a ȹ the Butterfly Class visited

ȹ ŗ wonderful selection of Christmas gifts and goodies including: Jimmy’s Farm. The children had Chocolate Truffles (made with our own a wonderful time meeting and liqueurs) Fudge and Penrith Toffee learning about the various Norfolk Punch, Sloe Gin and Liqueurs animals on the farm, but also Christmas Flowers and beautiful Wreaths enjoyed other activities such as Luscious Smellies, Soaps and Candles den building. The children met different breeds of pigs, alpacas, Christmas Food - Puddings, Mincemeat, goats, sheep as well as seeing Marmalades, Chutneys butterflies close up in the butterfly house. The children were lucky enough to Vintage Glass and Tableware from Artist Clare Weeks plus Soaps and enjoy a picnic lunch outside, which was followed by den building in the woods.

Scrubs from Honeybee The children worked really well in their teams and created some wonderful Toys, Hampers, Crackers and Decorations constructions.

Totally Alive! The school field became a farmyard for the day as we played PLUS New this year - A Festive CHEESE EVENING host to a range of domestic animals. Totally Alive organise educational visits with Mrs H’s selection of local cheeses to taste to schools, bringing the animals to the children and letting them experience and buy – alongside a glass of our Giffords Hall them at close quarters. The children met various breeds of horses, goats, wine, stock up on presents, treats and wine for sheep, ducks, rabbits, chicken and wildfowl. The favourite animals by far were Christmas on the evenings of the rabbits, as the children were allowed to hold and stoke them. The children 12 & 13th December 6pm-8pm, ideal for those learnt all about the different types of animals and why they are useful to us in who are too busy to visit during the day! today’s world. The older children in Spider class managed to come up with over 40 uses for a sheep! This was a valuable experience for all the children, GIFFORDS HALL VINEYARD especially for those who have not had an opportunity to meet these different Hartest, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP29 4EX types of animals before.

Bikeability The older children in the school have also been busy with various activities. Members of Year 6 had the opportunity to attend an intensive Bikeablilty course. Bikeability is ‘cycling proficiency’ for the 21st century, designed to give children the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today’s roads. The children taking part in the course all managed to achieve a pass and received certificates and shiny luminous badges for their efforts, well done! At a school where a high number of children and staff use their bikes as a regular mode of transport we see it as important that the children have the opportunity to refine their bicycling skills.

Family Day - Wattisham At Beaumont school a high proportion of our children are from service families who are stationed at Wattisham airbase. Wattisham recently played host to a very important royal Philip. Some of our

visitor, Prince

children were lucky enough to meet and talk with the Prince as they had been

invited to attend a family fun day at the base to mark the occasion. A brush with royalty I’m sure they’ll remember for a long time.

Hadleigh U3A Update

Fine Indian Cuisine

The past twelve months have seen our U3A grow even more, both in number of members and events held in addition to our usual monthly general meetings.

Our website is now established as an important part of our communications network and we now have twenty-nine Special Interest Groups, having added two new ones this year, Current Affairs and Epic Poetry.

Our monthly speakers have covered subjects as diverse as the history of Harrods, the Medieval Manor of Hadleigh, dealing with prostitution in Ipswich following the five murders, the man who recreated Roman Britain, whale preservation expeditions, gardening to survive in WW2 Britain, music in films, and a life of theatrical touring. At our AGM in October Peter Hesketh gave us a revealing insight into the maritime freight industry through his travels around the world by cntainer ship. An even wider spectrum is booked for the coming year.

Our theatre visits to the Regent have twice featured the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the ballet Giselle, Verdi's opera Aida and the magical musical of CATS! More opera and drama are coming up in the next two months. We supported the region's Untapped Writer's Group performances - and will be back this October.

We have travelled further afield for two of Andrew Davies' Unknown London tours, one to the St Pancras area and the other to Spitalfields and its surroundings - in depth history brought to life by this charismatic guide. In fact the tempting sight of the Eurostar standing at St Pancras gave direct rise to the plan to use it for our 2015 holiday to Bruges, where we will learn of the cultural history of the city as well as a guided tour of the WW! sites at Ypres. We visited the Greenwich Maritime Museum during it's Turner Exhibition and another trip took us to the Lowry Exhibition at Tate Britain. September took a large group of us to Canterbury for five days, where we had an educational guided tour of the Cathedral and its history, visits to the Cinque Ports of Walmer and Sandwich, the opportunity to explore the lively fishing port of Whitstable, and an evening at the Marlowe Theatre. Nearer home we had an atmospheric guided tour of the WW2 Radar Station at Bawdsey, bringing the reality of the wartime experience alive in this year of remembrance.

All this in just the past twelve months. We put considerable effort into fulfilling our U3A remit to provide varied and appropriate life-long learning opportunities for our members and have been rewarded with enthusiasm and active support from all the participants. New members are always welcome. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at the Ansell Centre at 2.30 pm. Why not come along and see for yourself- guest fee £3.00?

Our sincere thanks and admiration go to Jackie with her indomitable spirit. To have goals to aim for is important for our riders. Six of them took part in a most enjoyable and instructive ‘Pony Day’ at the Centre in September.

This involved stable preparation, horse care and riding. Two riders passed Riding and Horse Care Grade 1; one - Riding and Horse Care Grade 2; two Horse Care Grade 3; and one -Riding Grade 4.

Hadleigh Orchestra Christmas Concert Sunday December 7th 6.30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Conductor: Ute Cooper Leader: Lucy Symons Our Christmas Concert in early December will include, as usual, four wellknown Carols for you to sing accompanied by the Orchestra. In addition the programme (which is still being finalised) will include Peter Warlock’s popular Capriol Suite, a movement from Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, Johann Strauss’s Emperor Waltz and the Overture to Verdi’s opera La Traviata - a piece I personally have wanted to play for many years. I know not everybody would agree but for me it is the finest of Verdi’s overtures.

As usual, entrance is free and the concert will probably last just a little over the hour. We shall be asking for the usual donation as you leave which will go towards expenses and a donation to St. Joseph’s church. We are again most grateful to Father Peter for the opportunity of giving our Christmas Concert in this church.

’Tis the season to be jolly...

St Mary’s ‘Pop-Up Cafe’ In aid of Macmillan Cancer Support On Friday 26th September, in place of our very popular Cafe Church, the community, friends and benefice of St Mary’s held an all-day “pop-up cafe” in aid of Macmillan. The afternoon before the event, many willing hands arrived to decorate the church and move tables, pews and chairs & furniture ready for the next day. From eight o’clock in the morning we set out cake stalls, books, tombola, raffle and various craft stalls. We served hot filled rolls and all sorts of other goodies for breakfast to the helpers and growing number of visitors no doubt encouraged inside by that unmistakably enticing aroma of bacon which filled the church and churchyard. We had got off to a good start !

By lunch time we had cleared breakfast and set up an astonishing array of home-cooked goodies including chilli’s, jacket potatoes, lentil bakes, sausage plaits and a variety of salads and breads. There were desserts too which were most appreciated. We were amazed when we noticed the queue for lunch stretched right to the door of the church – we served over a hundred lunches and received some fantastic compliments. Well done indeed to all our chefs.

Afternoon tea of filled rolls, pastries, scones & cream and cakes made a fitting finale to a wonderful day.

It was fantastic to see so many people coming together to join us in support of this so deserving charity. All the stalls did well and we cannot thank enough the most generous and fabulous shops and businesses of Hadleigh who donated so much to help us. An equal thank you must go to everyone who so happily cooked and baked at home so that we had such a great variety of things we could offer for sale. And a particular thank you to the many willing hands who tirelessly helped with all the setting up, the cooking, the preparation and serving of all meals, the washing up and then stayed to clear everything away, and we mustn't forget the kind people who manned the stalls and gave such wonderful items for the raffle. Tired feet, aching backs but happy hearts !

It was a long day but so very worth it and such a happy day, working alongside friends and greeting visitors, friends and neighbours who came along to give their support. We were especially delighted to welcome the Mayor and Hadleigh Town Council who had booked a large table for lunch. I am delighted to say that we managed to raise a very respectable £1,450 for the amazing Macmillan team who help so many, and touch so many lives.

News from St Mary’s Primary School As always, the Year 6 children had an amazing time on their residential trip to Aylmerton in north Norfolk. It was a great opportunity for learning about coastal erosion and habitats. More importantly, the trip is a fantastic way to build up the children’s independence and confidence. They learn super team skills by working together on problem solving activities and create some wonderful memories, such as seeing the seals at Blakeney Point and walking through the salt marshes. We were really impressed by the children’s curiosity, sense of awe and wonder and their desire to learn. What a wonderful start to the year for Willow Class!

We are extremely proud to announce that St Mary’s School has been accredited as a Centre of Excellence for the Arts Award!

This great achievement was made all the more special when we discovered that we are the only primary school in the entire country to have been recognised in this way! Though the Arts Award, the children have great opportunities to take part in different arts activities; be inspired by artists; experience arts events; and share their arts skills with others. We would like to thank Mrs Seed and all the children who have contributed to this success with their great creativity!

Oak class have been lucky enough to be part of "Orchestras Live Lullaby project" with City of London Sinfonia, learning about musical instruments, rhythm and singing! These lively workshops have really captured the children's interest. Parents were invited to join in the fun in our final workshop. We were joined by talented musicians from the London Sinfonia orchestra who told us about their instruments and how they work. We all took part in with lots of musical activities - children, teachers and parents all had a fantastic time.

Through this project, we are achieving the Discover Arts award.

The children in Years 2 and 3 really enjoyed attending Harvest Workshops at the church. Thank you to all the adults who helped us. They took part in lots of fun activities, such as baking bread and making paper boats.

We would like to say a special thank you to the children who represented the school at the Harvest service in the church.

They spoke so clearly when they shared their work and prayers.

The older children read a Bible story and talked about our school’s values. As always, they were terrific representatives of the school, and we were really proud of them. Also, we held a special Harvest assembly in school, which was attended by lots of parents. The children sang and shared their work on Harvest. Thanks to Martin and Daniel who joined us for this special celebration. The children’s food donations were given to FIND, a charity that helps families in need.

Elm Class and Willow class were really lucky to meet some very exotic animals recently! Thank you to Jon Rowe and Margaret, his giant tortoise, for visiting our school! Margaret wandered around the classroom and became a great favourite with everyone! Jon had slides and video of various creatures in the wild, taken on his travels. He showed the children some live creatures he had brought, including colourful frogs, a corn snake and royal python, both of which the children could hold, and a boa constrictor which they kept our distance from! The children learned about how various animals live in the wild, and why some have evolved the way they have. Jon told the children about the Caribbean island of Dominica, its volcano and the animals and people living there. He is involved in a project there to help protect a very rare species of frog. There are believed to be only 17 Mountain Chicken Frogs still living and he is working with a team to try to prevent them becoming extinct.

In September, each class organised a ‘reading café’, which parents were invited to. This was a great chance to celebrate reading and share fun activities with parents. It was great to see so many parents joining us for reading and refreshments! The children were really inspired and motivated! Look out for writing and maths cafés in the future!

We are absolutely delighted with our new gym trail and play equipment! It has really brightened up the front of the school and everyone has really enjoyed playing on it. It is such fun and we are really pleased with how it has turned out. Thanks to the Parent Support Group and the Diocese for helping to fund the project.

Waterfield House ‘Wear your pjs to work day’

Andrew’s Quality Butchers quality | provenance | service

Now Taking Orders Now Taking Christmas Christmas Orders

On 3rd October Waterfield House held another fundraising event in aid of purchasing a mini bus. This time we hosted a “wear your pj’s to work day”. This resulted in almost all staff coming to work in their nightwear! Even some residents joined in! It was refreshing and amusing for the residents to see the staff in their pjs for a change. It was a fun filled day for all that participated and helped increase the fund, now standing at around £1,200, such an achievement in a short period of time. We would like to thank all the friends, relatives and staff of Waterfield house for the fundraising so far.

Lifesaver from Hadleigh Pool and Leisure Centre receives award The Annual National Lifesaver Defibrillator Awards hosted by the national cardiac charity SADS UK honours people who are saving lives in the community. Attended by the eminent cardiologists, the Resuscitation Council (UK), College of Paramedics and ambulance service trusts around the country, this is a truly prestigious evening. On October 18th a celebratory evening was held to acknowledge Lifesavers in the community. Hadleigh Pool and Leisure Centre, former Duty Manager Piers Merryweather will be honoured during the evening for the action he took to save the life of a gentleman who collapsed in the gym on the 16th May last year. Piers was summoned to the gym and after quickly assessing the situation asked a member of the public to go to the reception and ask the receptionist to call for an ambulance and then to return to the gym to confirm this had been done. Piers had by then asked a lifeguard to get the defibrillator from the main office downstairs.

A second member of staff (non-qualified as a first aider) arrived on the scene and offered assistance. Piers could not detect either a pulse or breathing so he commenced CPR on the man and administered the defibrillator. An off duty nurse who had been attending a class in one of the other rooms offered to help with the CPR and Piers asked her to assist and take turns doing the chest compressions. At approximately 7.47pm a paramedic arrived on site and started to work with the staff on the treatment to the man. The ambulance arrived at 7.55pm where the two paramedics treated him. After the man had been stabilised he was taken to Ipswich hospital. The ambulance crew and paramedic that attended site had nothing but praise for the actions taken by Piers and staff on the night and were not shy to make the point that without them taking action in their opinion the man would have died.

The off duty nurse who assisted with compressions had nothing but praise he wanted to make it very clear that Piers and gym staff were the ones who did all the hard work and felt that they should receive credit.

Mick Packer, Contract Manager said, In the leisure industry staff are given many health & safety related training courses and sometimes go through the whole of their leisure career without ever being involved in any incidents of this nature. Incident training happens on sites but can never create the stress / tension / seriousness of an actual incident. In my opinion for a relatively new member of staff to carry out this lifesave using his skills and knowledge in such a professional manner is an outstanding achievement.

...leading the way to active living.

Hadleigh Community Primary School Hadleigh Community Primary fully embraces the new curriculum It has been a busy start to the school year and one of the greatest challenges we have had to face is the new curriculum which became statutory in September. However, at HCPS we have fully embraced the new units of work and this can be easily demonstrated by the number of new trips and activities which have been enjoyed by the children so early in the school year. Here are some of the activities they have participated in – Reception and Year 3 will be reported on next month as they haven’t had their trips yet!

Year 1: You may have noticed groups of children walking around Hadleigh observing houses. This was part of their new topic on ‘Things in Living Memory’, which included looking at old and new houses. In particular, the children were participating in ‘Maths Outside the Classroom’ activities – looking at the shapes and numbers of the houses. The information collected was then used for lots of follow-up activities back at school.

Year 2: Year 2 have had a particularly busy time having participated in two activities outside of school so far this term! On September 30th, they visited Felixstowe, which is a trip they have completed before, but this time the emphasis was different – the trip was linked with Geography, Science and Maths. The children had been studying a book called ‘Lucy and Tim at the Seaside’. Therefore, the children made sand sculptures (art), but in addition to this they made posters to explain why Felixstowe is a good place to visit and compared the town with Hadleigh. The children studied local plants in their natural environment as part of their scientific learning and found sea cabbages and an abundance of blackberries. They also looked for evidence of animal habitats and found plenty of examples of spherical rabbit droppings – which linked perfectly with their other area of study – ‘Maths Outside the Classroom’.

In particular, the children were looking for 3D shapes and were absolutely fascinated when a large container ship arrived – it had a huge number of 3D shapes to be observed! The children in year 2 also enjoyed a cross curricular day at St Mary’s Church, on the theme of harvest. It linked to the Felixstowe trip as one of the areas they studied was the harvest of the sea. We are very grateful for the support from our local churches.

Year 4: Our High School ably supported Year 4 when they visited Bildeston for a day of stream dipping as part of their habitats project. This is a trip that year 4 has experienced before but this time the focus was also on ‘Maths Outside the Classroom’ and so there were maths activities included in the day. We would like to say a big thank you to Bildeston School for allowing Year 4 to use their access to the stream and also to the High School for their support.

Year 5: Armed with ipads and clip boards, the Year 5 children strolled along the River Brett to visit landmarks in Hadleigh including the war memorial, Toppesfield Bridge and Constitution Hill. Their trip was partly new geography curriculum and partly Computing – the children used the ipads to take video clips which were then taken back to school and converted into QR codes.

There now appear to be QR codes popping up all around the school! The children are now using their information to make a leaflet so the trip is also enhancing their Literacy skills.

Year 6: A brand new history topic for Year 6 is the study of Raydon Airfield. It is also linked to Geography – looking at the change of land use over a period of time. Year 6 were particularly fortunate because the cost of the coaches was fully funded by the HSA and school. The children used their mapping skills to name and locate various Nissen huts and aircraft hangars on their google maps which had been provided. A number of people working at the airfield helped the children to learn the original uses of some of the buildings and they were able to then recognise how the area had changed over time. Year 6 would particularly like to thank the Raydon Airfield Preservation Society for all of the photographs and resources they have leant them.

Ristorante, Italiano & Pizzeria Hadleigh’s New Italian Restaurant

Time for ‘Your Say’ about St Mary’s Church The planned changes to the inside of St Mary’s Church are only one part of the overall vision. Please be patient with us whilst we are in a time of transition - by the time the New Year begins the inside of St Mary’s will look very different to how it appears now. The church building has served the needs of the Parish of Hadleigh for hundreds of years, and I hope you will agree with me when I say that we need to do all we can to ensure it is here for many years to come. If nothing happens there, then it will just end up being a beautiful museum. As a result of studying the profile of the parish, it became clear that the needs of the community are ever-changing. During October a lot of people have been involved in putting together the first draft of a three year Vision Plan. A plan ensuring that the church is alive and active in the community and open to everyone. This plan was shared with the church community on Sunday 19 October. We would love to hear what you think about the plans for our future. A copy of the draft plan is available from St Mary’s Church and also from the reception area of St Mary’s School. I want to encourage you to pick up a copy however small or large your interest might be.

Please read it, but above all be encouraged to tell us what you think.

Do you agree with what’s there? Are there things you want to suggest we consider? The Parish Church is here to serve your needs - yes, primarily as a place of Christian worship, but also as a community space accessible by all.

VISION is about St Mary’s Hadleigh Treasuring the past......Celebrating the present Being challenged by the future If you would like to have your say, please put your comments in an email or letter (before 16 November 2014), addressed to ‘St Mary’s Vision Plan’, Benefice Office, St Mary’s Church, Church Street, Hadleigh, IP7 5DT. Email: office@stmaryshadleigh.co.uk. There is also an opportunity to come and chat to us on Saturday 15 November, 10am to 12noon, in St Mary’s Church. Pop in for a coffee with us and have your say!

Boule-In To Christmas!

“Christmas is a very personal celebration” says Cathy Bullen of Bildeston’s stylish French store The Boule-in.

“It’s a time when we put a personal touch on our home, our gifts and our unique family traditions. There’s nothing nicer than bringing out those special treasures carefully stored away during the year to decorate one’s home. Often battered, their charm lies in the fact they are unique and personal.

I always try and add a new decoration or two each year and enjoy taking time to find something especially pretty with a vintage theme that I especially love at this time of year. In the same way I try very hard to give unique and personal gifts : I love giving things that are completely original and show I’ve thought of the person I’m giving them to. It’s so special to give a piece of blue glass to add to someone’s collection – or a wonderful vintage corkscrew to a wine buff!”

This year The Boule-in celebrates “Joyeux Noel” at its Christmas Fair (Thursday 27th to Saturday 29th November 10 am to 8 pm) where you can discover numerous personal treasures for friends or vintage baubles to decorate your home – all brought together with a touch of French flair!.

St Joseph’s Feels Different.

And That’s The Way We Like It! St Joseph’s is very proud of its ethos which combines strong, traditional Christian values with a unique approach to supporting and nurturing children within a family environment. The result is an all-round education with not just termly, but weekly, daily and even hourly opportunities, experiences and successes in both academic and extra-curricular fields.

Significantly, this feeling is echoed by the students as illustrated in this extract from the speech by the Head Boy for 2014-2015, Tommy Newbigging, at the College Prize Giving in July: “I stand before you humbled and very honoured. I have already received so much support and encouragement, and for me that is what sums up St Joseph’s College’s values and ethos. We are a team, a family, who supports any student with any problem, challenge, or achievement they have, with grace, dignity and a good heart.”

Achievements come in many forms at the College. Alongside its traditionally strong rugby standing with five of this year’s leavers receiving contracts at professional clubs in England and France, St Joseph’s can point to numerous other sporting, cultural and academic successes. The £2 million investment in a state-of-the-art Astroturf complex for hockey, netball and tennis is a tangible example of the College’s commitment to progress girls’ sport in particular and is already seeing great results. In recognition of its excellence in arts and cultural provision, the Arts Council England has awarded St Joseph’s Artsmark Gold status with students regularly taking on new challenges in disciplines such as music, dance, art, photography and drama. St Joseph’s prides itself on nurturing all students to achieve their best academically. This is best illustrated by the results throughout the key stages of the curriculum and particularly the case when looking at the compulsory curriculum subjects that are often seen as more challenging.

Life in the Prep School is based on the principle of ‘excellence and enjoyment in learning’ for children aged 3 to 11 who are taught within a broad, challenging and rich curriculum that produced fantastic Year 6 SATS results of Level 4 and above in Reading, 97%; English, 94% and Mathematics, 91% in 2014.

Our students also recorded the best ever College GCSE results for percentage of A*-C grades this year excelling in those core curriculum subjects that are traditionally seen as more academic: Biology, 100%; Chemistry, 100%; Physics, 92%; Mathematics, 92% and English, 91%. This theme continued through A Level results in Physics, 100%; Chemistry, 100%; Mathematics, 96% and Biology, 86% A*-C grades and has seen students go onto 11 of The Times Top 20 UK universities in the last two years to read courses including Dentistry, Engineering (Civil and Mechanical), Biological Sciences, Architecture, Mathematics, Accounting, Business Management, Psychology, Sociology and more.

Dear Sir Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk

Dear Sir Thank you to the real organiser of the community concert. As the local Poppy Appeal organiser I was delighted to receive a cheque the other day for £680 from Mr Fred Breyer, the organiser of a very successful and entertaining community concert in St Mary’s church in September. I would like to thank Fred for the donation and congratulate him on his efforts. It is not easy organising such an event and I know that Fred had a number of hurdles to overcome, but Fred being Fred, pushed on and made a great success out of it. Thank you again Fred for giving up your time and effort for our community, it is very much appreciated. I would also like to thank those local businesses who sponsored the event. All in all it was a great example of community spirit.

Mark Brennan

Dear Sir Regarding an article in the EADT: I find it extraordinary that Babergh and Mid Suffolk Councils, having had a review on the future use of the offices in Hadleigh and those in Needham Market by specialist valuers Lambert Smith Hampton, at I Imagine some considerable expense are to ‘discard’ their advice. These are the councils that are now integrating rather than merging (spot the difference if you can) because that was rejected in 2011 after a local referendum. As this review was firstly in the interest of saving money, that should be the governing factor. According to the specialists LSH, the most cost effective choice would be too move both councils to Hadleigh, or secondly too move both to Needham Market. Clearly not what our elected representatives wanted to see, as they, it would seem, would rather go to Suffolk County Council offices in Ipswich, (who interestingly rent office space at Needham Market for I believe 60 staff). With satellite offices to service local needs, (preferably not face to face but using IT) or maybe some new build (as money is so tight.) The good news is this decision is not to be made until after the May election next year, perhaps a good time to ‘discard’ some councillors.

I am pleased to advise that the concert held in St. Mary’s on 20th of September enabled a donation of £680 to The Poppy Appeal Fund to be made, plus £125 for the refurbishing of The Great War Roll of Honour in St. Mary's, together with other needed material items donated to St. Mary’s.

Appreciation and thanks have gone out to all those who contributed to the success of the evening either by donation or support on the night. However especial thank's must be reserved for the Choirmaster/ M.C. for the sheer physical effort and talent he displayed on the night. Due to publication schedules it was not possible to give a full appraisal of the evening but our HCN columnist/humourist Howard Gibbons did somehow manage to squeeze in a balanced account in the October issue. Thank you to all who supported this worthwhile community event.

Fred Breyer

Dear Sir I am sure everyone will agree with me that the hanging baskets this year were extremely colourful and added to the attraction of the High Street. Our thanks must go to Cyndy and her team of helpers for all their efforts, especially Ray who is responsible for seeing that the flowers are watered and fed every day. As the scheme is supported by the Chamber of Commerce it is sad to think that this may have been the last time that the baskets were put up. It is disappointing that out of the 80 or more businesses in the town centre and the hundreds of people who work there that over the past years only three people have had sufficient commitment to work towards maintaining the viability of the High Street. I know that everyone is busy but is it too much to ask that the people whose livelihoods depend of the High Street should be prepared to give up a few hours of their time a year to ensure that the Chamber continues?

Jane Haylock

Dear Sir I just wanted to write and thank you all for the fascinating Great War articles you have been publishing in the Hadleigh Community News recently but also consistently, the RBL monthly contribution. It is for me the highlight of the magazine and personally very poignant having briefly served in the 90's, but also retaining a very strong connection with the forces and both family and military history. I would also like to thank those responsible for the exceptional well organised, presented and moving memorial service we had at the Hadleigh cenotaph on the 100 year anniversary at the outbreak of the Great War. I am a relative newcomer to these parts (9 years) so unfortunately I am unable to contribute to your quest to research those names on the cenotaph, but presumably other towns and villages are doing the same and although I can't help Hadleigh with her heroes, I wondered if the RBL is coordinating the same research for others towns and villages who are trying to research their own?

My thanks again for the wonderful service you are doing for those who should never be forgotten.

Kersey Mill Newsletter A mill has stood on this site at Kersey for a 1000 years, it is mentioned in William the Conqueror’s survey, the Domesday Book of 1086. It could tell some tales and interesting stories. We are always keen to hear of any to add to our collection and to build on the wonderful history. The present Mill was constructed in the early 1800’s by Whitmore and Binyon, a major task when one sees the wonderful mechanics, it is quite amazing to think how that was achieved with such basic tools and equipment in those days. Today we have electricity, lighting, modern lifting and drilling devices, and still we struggle.

We are now working on the repairs to the waterwheel, installing 20 new buckets each bucket taking considerable time and effort,.

We now have seven in place, it’s been hard and heavy work, although we are learning and gaining experience with each bucket fitting. Special thanks go to Bill Griffiths who has been giving up his Sundays to help. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been a valued member of the volunteers.

Our team of volunteers show incredible dedication coupled with amazing enthusiasm, so many different people who have come to help in so many different ways, with the aim to make the mill a working example in Suffolk again. The help and support that has been received from so many has been quite remarkable.

All those that helped raise funds for the restoration project with Santa’s Workshop and his Elves last year are back again this year. The purchase of the buckets was from funds raised by Santa’s Workshop, thanks to all the children and their parents who supported the event.

The volunteers involved were from the local community here in Hadleigh. We are aiming again to run these events every Friday Saturday and Sunday from November 28th. The tickets are now on sale and the proceeds will help us further with the restoration.

Weather permitting, there will be other attractions available including children’s roundabout and swings, Glass & Craft will have their craft studio open where you can try your hand at glass painting, ceramic painting and also decopatch.

You can even make your own Christmas decorations!

Please book early as spaces are limited and tickets are going fast.

Tickets can be purchased from www.eventbrite.co.uk Glass & Craft or the coffee shop or by telephone 01473 829317 and from www.kerseymill.net The Friends of Kersey Mill thank you for your support

Is something upsetting you?

We all think of our food as something which should nourish our bodies. But have you stopped to consider that your food may actually be working against you. Approximately 5% of people have food allergies or an immediate allergic reaction to something they regularly eat. However, it is estimated that more than 40% have a delayed reaction which occurs hours or days after a food is consumed. It is this delay which makes it difficult to determine which foods actually cause problems or even if a particular problem is definitely caused by food. Often, food related problems which could be relieved quite simply are left undiagnosed and go on to cause much more serious health problems.

Have you stopped to consider that the following conditions could be caused by something you are eating?

• Frequent upset stomach • Bloating • Skin problem • Depression and anxiety • High blood pressure • Regular headaches or migraines • Difficulties in maintaining a healthy weight • Chronic fatigue • Fibromyalgia So what to do? The simplest way to find out what may be upsetting you is to contact me at Bespoke Nutrition, where I can determine the most appropriate test for you, identify the offending foods and work on a personalised eating plan which will eliminate them from your diet.

The people who run and buy health and social care services must respond to our concerns explaining what action they will take, or why they are not taking action. How can you be involved? Most importantly, you can talk to us about your experiences of health and care services so that we can challenge them or encourage good service.

LOYALTY CARD

Sponsored by Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce

Asbestos related Lung Cancer – the unequal disease Macmillan Cancer Support reminds us November is Lung Cancer Awareness month. A disease commonly caused by smoking but also from exposure to asbestos. Lung cancer kills more than 35,000 people a year and is the biggest cause of cancer death in Britain. It is a cancer that is voracious. A recent University of Nottingham study of over 20,000 people suffering from lung cancer showed that 10% died within a month of diagnosis.

The study reported survival rates are significantly lower in Britain than other countries. Worryingly, doctors in Britain are failing to identify lung cancer at an early stage. Because of this it is argued, one in three with the disease die within 90 days of their diagnosis.

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) confirm that 2,000 deaths each year in Britain are due to asbestos-related lung cancer, probably the same number as annual mesothelioma deaths. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of lung cancer commonly associated with workplace asbestos exposure. It usually remains latent for 30-40 years before revealing its symptoms. Locally, it has affected those who worked in the sugar beet industry, Cliff Quay Power Station, ICI, BT and other light industries. We represent clients suffering from both mesothelioma and asbestos related lung cancer. Clients who want to ensure their wives and families have a financially secure future after they have inevitably passed on.

Problems arise when we try to bring a case against an employer that went out of business many years ago. Often we cannot identify the insurance company that provided the compulsory employers liability insurance at the time our client worked for them. Without a defendant or an insurance company we cannot obtain a financial settlement.

This was acknowledged by the Government when they recently passed the Mesothelioma Act 2014. This guarantees payment to mesothelioma victims who are unable to trace the employer who exposed them to asbestos or their employer’s liability insurers. The paradox is that a person suffering from lung cancer, but not mesothelioma is unable to claim under this scheme. The two conditions are equally devastating and unforgiving. In this month of awareness, it remains a concern Government has yet to ensure all asbestos victims have the right to receive the full compensation they deserve where no insurance company is identified.

With this contradiction in mind, Gotelee Solicitors supports the tireless work done by Cancer Campaign in Suffolk in helping cancer sufferers and their families through and after the disease.

It was noted that 16 crimes had been recorded during July with 2 detected.

Councillor Grutchfield raised the issue of parking in the High Street and recent thefts of milk. PC Paisley reported on parking on yellow lines in the High Street, and problems with lorry deliveries to businesses. He admitted that the situation will not go away but parking restrictions are being enforced and PCSO’s patrol when possible. The number of parking tickets issued has increased. Councillor Cook recommended that it be made clear to members of the public that they should not be parking on yellow lines. It was felt that the Police are doing all they could and it was the responsibility of the public to adhere to the regulations.

On the issue of parking Councillor Haylock reported that a recent visitor to the town in a motor home had received a parking ticket from Babergh District Council as the motor home was slightly larger than the parking bay. She asked where larger vehicles were able to park? The Town Clerk was asked to write to Babergh District Council to obtain their view on this matter.

Councillor Byrne raised the issue of coach parking as currently only Stonehouse Road was available and this was full Monday to Friday with school coaches and was difficult to locate. Councillor Riley advised that Bridge Street car park was open to the public and that possibly a couple of spaces for coaches could be available there. Councillor Byrne commented that coaches could not access this on the In road but could possible do this if they were allowed to use the Out road. Councillor Riley recommended we include this matter in the letter to Babergh District Council. The Town Clerk advised that Morrisons and QD had been approached regarding coach parking and both Store Managers had been open to the idea of coaches parking in their car park. They had passed the request to their Head Office and to date nothing had been resolved. PC Paisley offered to discuss this again with the Store Managers and report back. Councillor Cook requested that a letter of thanks be sent to Inspector Crick for his 7 years of service. This request was agreed.

Inspector Cooper introduced himself and said that he was looking forward to working with the Town Council in his new role.

SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL – THE FUTURE OF CHILDREN’S CENTRE SERVICES Councillors were in receipt of the Consultation Document. It was agreed that the Clerk would write to Suffolk County Council advising them of Hadleigh Town Council’s objections to the closure of the Children’s Centre in Hadleigh as it was strongly felt that this service should remain within the town.

BABERGH DISTRICT COUNCIL CARETAKER SCHEME Councillors were in receipt of the paper outlining this new Scheme. The Clerk advised that this work would be carried out by the Company who had just been granted the Grounds Maintenance Contract.

Local Woman Hot Foots It to Charity Success On Thursday 18 September Anita Postle of Hadleigh overcame her fear of fire and walked over burning coals to raise over ÂŁ700 for Suffolk Family Carers. Anita decided to undertake this challenge after hearing the horrendous stories of what some carers (some as young as 7) have to endure on Radio Suffolk. She also felt it was an unusual event to do for sponsorship and was something that would test her to her limits. She said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was the most amazing experience ever, it was so exciting and totally breathtaking, I ended up with a few small burns under my toes but nothing seriousâ&#x20AC;?.

To boost her fundraising efforts Anita organised a Charity Night in conjunction with the White Hart at Boxford. She would like to thank Nic, Ben & Chris from the Hart, the Musicians who entertained us all evening, all the local businesses who supplied wonderful raffle prizes and of course everyone who came and made the evening such a huge success.

Magdalen House Community Day Centre Officially Opens On Tuesday 14th October at 11.00am Paulette Scott, Community Day Centre Manager, Liz Johnson from Suffolk County Council Adult and Community Services and Barbara Boyd, from the Thrift Shop in Hadleigh, officially opened the new designated area in Magdalen House.

The Community Day Centre is a facility for older people to get together in a friendly recreational group and join in with fun activities.

Paulette Scott explained â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angel Court was recently taken over by Care UK and the Day Centre aspect was being transferred to Ipswich. This however, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go down well with local visitors who thought the distance was too far to travel. Magdalen House approached us and said they would make an area available for use. Helena Marsh, Day Care Support Worker, has also been a great support to me during the closure and starting up the New Day Centre at Magdalen House, with this support the customers had an easy transfer, also with Helena and l working together the customers have someone they can relate too. So with great excitement, the doors opened on July 9th this yearâ&#x20AC;?.

Paulette continued â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten people a day are cared for, travelling in by community transport, family means or taxi - I must take time here to thank Barbara Boyd for her continued donations towards the community travel. The day includes a cooked lunch, tea, coffee and cold drinks throughout and visitors can expect a package of entertainment ideas including Bingo - always a big favourite quizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, word games, bowling, trips out, shopping, manicures, dominoes, cards and other fun activities. Even if visitors are physically unable to do all activities there are members of staff on hand to help where possibleâ&#x20AC;?.

Liz Johnson said â&#x20AC;&#x153; Myself, Ian Robinson and other colleagues at Suffolk County Council became involved with the closure of the current Angel Court facility and heard first-hand from many extremely concerned visitors about the loss of day care services in Hadleigh. It became evident that new services should be found, so we worked very hard with Magdalen House to make this a realityâ&#x20AC;?. Liz then explained the business end of the service and when asked about funding she replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although it is now a private facility it is funded by various means including Suffolk County Council, private fees and charitable donationsâ&#x20AC;?. Opening times are Tuesday to Friday 09.30 to 14.50 (Friday designated as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;special needsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day) but Paulette was keen to explain that she is looking to expand by opening on Mondays too from January 2015.

First meeting of the flock!

The first meeting of the Hadleigh Year of the Sheep Crafters brought together ladies who will stitch and knit to make sheep in many different ways. We have a target of over a 1,000 sheep to create bunting to decorate the town. Individuals or organisations can contribute making sheep with any type of material.

Preparations for a year of sheep themed fun activities and events got off to a great start. If you have any ideas for making 2015 a memorable Sheep year or would like to be involved in decorating the town or help in any way please contact: Jane Haylock at The Idler, 37 High Street, Hadleigh. e-mail jane@theidler.plus.com or phone 01473 827752.

The Jolly Meat Company is moving After almost 6 years trading in Hadleigh, it is fair to say The Jolly Meat Company have well and truly established themselves on the High Street. So it is with relief that although they are moving, they are not going far, and will retain their much loved presence in the town.

As of Monday 5th January, Charlie and his team will be opening the doors to their new shop at 101 High Street, previously the Sunflower. Commenting on the move Charlie Phillips, owner, says "After much deliberation we have had to make the decision to leave our founding shop and take the business to new premises and new heights. The forthcoming move will now allow us to concentrate on the things we feel are most important to us, and our valued customers. Providing local people with high quality, high welfare, locally sourced meat at an affordable price".

The Jolly Meat Company are now inviting their customers to make suggestions on what they would like to see in the new shop. If you have any ideas, pop in and let them know - you could even win a £50 meat voucher.

In death all men are equal Whilst it is fitting to remember in this 100th Anniversary Year of the outbreak of The Great War (1914/18) of which many thousands could be said to have needlessly lost their lives, let us also remember with them those men of Hadleigh that also perished in World War Two 1939/45. The fourteen men that died in captivity as prisoners of war of the Japanese are listed together first, the remainder in alphabetical order.

News from The Station Welcome to the latest news from the Police Station.

My first topic of conversation relates to the traffic islands that sit in Magdalen Road either side of the Magdalen Road carpark to the rear of the Co-op. I have on occasions witnessed pedestrians walk out without looking in a bid to cross the road assuming that these islands are designated crossings. In fact, these islands were put in place as a clear indicator to motorists that the road conditions are changing and that drivers need to be aware that something is different. The islands were put in place to show that the speed restriction changes from 30 mph to 20 mph. They also reflect the fact that there are bus stops either side of the road, and a legitimate pedestrian crossing, with traffic lights. The islands are there to assist members of the public with crossing the road, but it is not the right of way of the pedestrians.

Please be aware of this. By failing to look, or take into account the flow of traffic, you are putting yourself and other road users at risk.

In other news, I recently took part in a meeting of local partner agency representatives to discuss dementia care in Hadleigh, and to see what we could do collectively to make Hadleigh a dementia friendly community. The Coalition Government are the driving force behind making communities dementia friendly, and they are challenging people to get on board and help improve the lifestyle and amenities available for those suffering from dementia.

There are 10 key areas that need to be focussed upon. They are: 1. Involvement of people with dementia 2. Challenge stigma and build understanding 3. Accessible community activities 4. Acknowledge potential 5. Ensure an early diagnosis 6. Practical support to enable engagement in community life 7. Community-based solutions 8. Consistent and reliable travel options 9. Easy to navigate environments 10. Respectful and responsive businesses and services From our meeting, an Alliance has now been formed, and it is our aim to carry this project forward in order to improve the lives of dementia sufferers and their families within Hadleigh. The Alliance is ever evolving, so if you would like more information, or would like to join us, please contact me at the station.

We are holding an information day at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure, Stonehouse Road, on Friday 14th November between 10am and 1pm. This session is open to anyone who may have an interest in the subject of dementia, or thinks they may be able to assist our Alliance.

Crime and anti-social behaviour remain low in the Town. However, we have recently experienced a slight spike in low level criminal damage offences, with no pattern to suggest the offences are linked. If you have any information that might assist us in finding the culprits of these offences, please contact us. You can email me on matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk, phone on 101 or visit us at the station on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday afternoon between 1pm and 3pm. You can also follow us on Twitter @BaberghPolice.

Youth Speaks Students in Year 9 have been given an opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills in a new ‘Public speaking’ competition. The competition is called ‘Youth Speaks.’ Students deliver a speech they have written themselves to a panel of judges from Ipswich Rotary Club. Students can decide on their own topic. For example, so far some of the ideas floating around have been ‘Do schools encourage obesity?’ and ‘Should America have stricter gun laws?’

If they make it through, they will get to go to Suffolk One College to compete against other schools in the region.

Sporting Success Over the past six weeks a large number of our sporting teams and individuals have achieved great success in each their disciplines. Our Year 10 hockey team have had great success in their past few games against St Joseph’s college winning by seven goals. However the next week they played a tough game against Copleston High School which ended 0-0. The captain Tommy Downie said, “the game against St Joseph’s college was fantastic we worked well as a team.” Will Beven played an excellent game scoring 4 goals and lead the team by example. As well as our year 10 hockey teams success all of our other hockey teams from Year 7-11 are still undefeated as we head in to half term. At Hadleigh High School our netball and basketball teams are coming together really well with the U16 girls coming second to Copleston in a regional netball tournament and the basketball starts next half term. The football has really kicked off with our many boys and girls teams triumphing over the other teams around Suffolk. The Year 7 and 11’s have had one loss and one win with one more game to come in their leagues. On the other hand the Years 10s have done even better by getting to the knockouts of the County Cup. The team was Fin Longman (c), Chris Warren, Billy Goodrich, Landry Mbe, Max Tate, Josh Stacey, Ollie Smith, Daniel Shanks, Michael Carrigan, Lewis Sowman, Caeal Casey and Jamie Colcomb.

Year 10’s trip to the seaside On Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th of October, Year 10 Art students travelled to Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings to view works by Maggi Hambling, as well as visiting the beach, and participating in other activities throughout the day.

The day started with the students being dropped off at Aldeburgh beach, where they walked along the shoreline, photographing items of interest, and visiting the famous sculpture ‘The Scallop’ by Maggi Hambling. Students then got the opportunity to go into the town, where they explored various art galleries, viewing some local and famous artists’ works along the way. After the art galleries the pupils were free to wander around the town, where some bought postcards and other items as local souvenirs.

At lunchtime the pupils were given the chance to buy the ‘legendary’ Fish & Chips from the shop on the Aldeburgh coastline. Pupils described them as ‘divine’ and they sat on the wall on the coast to enjoy them for half an hour.

After this the class travelled by coach to Snape Maltings, where they photographed the lawn sculptures, including a large brass horse and cart and a long boardwalk style bridge with names of various donators and sponsors engraved into the planks.

A member of staff described the trip as a ‘successful day’ and that the classes were ‘very lucky with the weather’ on both of the days.

The staff also said that their favourite moment was when the class visited the Scallop, as they could listen to the sea, as well as photograph the seascape and gather some inspiration for their Art coursework.

Sports performers of this half term This half term brought great success for the sports players at Hadleigh High.

Many rugby players went to Suffolk trials and some progressed even further.

Mr Cook recommended Year 10 boys for Norwich trials with great success.

Connie Powell, Katie Roberts, Georgia Clements and Alice Mayhew all got into Eastern Counties for rugby. Connie was spotted at a school match and asked to go to Eastern counties Training. Katie couldn’t go to trials due to an injury, however at a training session she was spotted by some of the Eastern county coaches there.

Callum Jeffery managed to get into an elite youth pathway at Northampton for rugby and also managed to get trials for the London Broncos, a team one tier below the Super league.

Fin Longman, Caeal Casey, and Lewis Sowman all got put forward by Mr Cook for Norwich trials; all of them got in and are now on a ten week trial programme. They have their first game in the half term and we wish them the best of luck.

Matt Smith applied for National squad for Sailing and succeeded in getting in.

This places him in the top 10 sailors in his class in the UK and he is now training for the World championships next year.

The Long Walk

On the 26th September everybody at Hadleigh High School (from the Year 7s to the kitchen staff) took part in the eleven mile walk from Hadleigh through upper Layham and Polstead. “It was a challenging walk,” said Matthew Bone from 10D. This is not surprising as it was a hard walk made harder by an excellent variety of exciting costumes. Bracken Farrow from 10O said she “really enjoyed the day and it was made better because everyone made an effort”. Mrs Wing, the organiser of the event, said that the school was “hoping to raise up to £10,000”. Half of this will go to the school to pay for equipment which will be beneficial to students’ education, the other half will be split between the six house charities (Ormiston Family Trust, EACH, Home Start, Hadleigh Thrift Shop, East Anglian Air Ambulance, Suffolk Family Carers.) All the students felt it was a great day that ran very smoothly. “It was superbly organised” said Jack Orriss 10O. Some forms went for a fancy dress theme, others a theme in friend groups; these included morph suits, film characters and even the spice girls. Other children dressed completely differently to anyone else for example one child did it entirely wrapped in newspaper. Prizes will be awarded to the students with the best costumes and also to those that raise the most sponsorship money.

Battle of the Bands Rehearsals have now begun at lunchtime for the famous Battle of the Bands.

Last year’s winners, Toppesfield, are determined to win this year. This form competition involves at least one student from each year, as well as a teacher, as they battle to win. A member of staff said, ‘It is a good experience for the pupils, and helps them to gain confidence’.

Elizabeth (Liz) Cage At the September meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI members observed one minutes silence to remember Elizabeth (Liz) Cage. We all knew Liz had had serious problems with her health for many years. Despite this she was always cheerful and served on the Committee for several years. Her main contribution, in summer, was hosting a cream tea for members in her beautiful home in Upper Layham. Following her discharge from hospital Liz attended our Annual Garden party. It was a happy day and she was pleased to see us all. She died peacefully a few days later.

Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: 1 Five members attended the annual District Conference held at Trinity Park, Ipswich. After a rousing welcome by the Osiligi Maasai Warriors dance troupe from Kenya the Disrict Governor, Nick Corke opened the proceedings and introduced Rotarian Grethe Christiansen from Denmark, the Rotary International President's representative who brought greetings from President Gary Huang who hails from Taiwan. A letter of good wishes from Buckingham Palace was also read out. The programme for a very long day included speakers on Trussell Trust Food Banks, Corporate Partnerships with Rotary, Prostate Cancer Awareness, Smoke Alarm Project, Micro Finance for 3rd World and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA). Hadleigh Club has been involved with RYLA in the past, more recently, with Smoke Alarm Project and is always looking for new challenges.

2 Earlier in the month members and partners visited Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding following a recent donation and were given a comprehensive tour of the premises, meeting the horses and learning about the many aspects of their work with the physically and mentally challenged clients. Two visitors also rode the mechanical horse Ebony. The whole visit was inspiring and the dedication of all the helpers much admired. They always require more helpers and visits maybe arranged by appointment. The Club has also sponsored a race in the recent race night.

SPEAKER: Caty Gant, a local Ranger Guide, gave a detailed and polished powerpoint presentation of her recent trip to the World Guiding Centre in Mexico City. This was by way of a thank you for a small donation by the Club towards her not inconsiderable expenses. The rest was raised by her from fundraising activities such as a quiz night, an O2 roof climb, other donations and grants. Thus, after coming through the selection process, raising the money and going to training meetings she eventually left for Mexico on 29 July with a party of other guides flying via Paris to Mexico City.It was her first long air journey and the first of many new experiences. Once settled in at the World centre a full programme of activities had been arranged for the two week stay.There were 2 English groups as well as others from around the world including Trinidad and Tobago. They were given some training in basic Spanish and in bartering at the local markets. They enjoyed tours of Mexico City including visits to cathedrals, the Zoo, the market and nearby Aztec pyramids.On the educational side, they were taken to the silvermining area where they studied the manufacture of silver trinkets etc whilst they also visited craft centres where amongst other things they learned the art of painting on cactus paper. Caty exhibited one of the painting which she had completed very expertly. In the evenings they made their own entertainment mostly with each group performing dances or presentations of their own culture. A major objective of the visit was to give help to the local community and to fulfil this they worked at a nearby food bank packing and distributing food parcels to the needy. They also undertook to redecorate the inside of the building and this was successfully accomplished. They did get the opportunity to visit a bullring and see the bulls but they all decided not to watch the actual fights. The closing ceremony took the form of a fiesta with much singing and dancing.

Caty has a very full record of her trip which will bring back memories for many years to come and it was a great experience from which she will have gained much which will help her in the future. Rotarians were happy to have played a small part in helping this to happen.

On Saturday 22nd November, French’s staff and volunteers will be at Hadleigh Morrison’s bag packing and talking to shoppers about the work, we do. Please come along and support us on 22nd November, or if you feel you would like to help by volunteering, give Jann a call and help us on this day, or at any other fund raising events we have in our diary. There are a lot of people we would like to thank for the months of September - October, firstly thank you to those who came along to our Charity Dog Walk and Open Day with BBQ, it was good to see some new faces along with our regular supporters. It was nice for locals to be able to see some of the work we do at French’s and relax at the BBQ with our rescued horses watching on from their fields. French’s had a nice donation from a chap called Dave and his Labrador Charlotte, from Holton St Mary, if anyone out there knows whom I am talking about, please let him know Jann would like to speak with him and say thank you.

On 4th October staff, volunteers’ and Coco was invited to Jimmy’s Farm to take part in the Sowing The Seeds For Wellbeing on a Mental Health Day, as part of French’s is a Care Farm that help local people in need. Enclosed is a lovely picture of Coco supporting A Pledge from a young man saying; I Pledge… to treat all people equally and never be judgmental!! We managed to last till 2pm and then the rain and wind sent us running for the hills. On 11th October a Wine Tasting Quiz Night in Polstead Village Hall was sponsored

by Majestic Wines and arranged on behalf of fund raising for our Horse Rescue Charity. What a huge success it was, with around 100 people in attendance and a fantastic job Diana, Ian & Charlie Witts and Mandy, John & Charlie Flathers did. Mandys mother Daphne who is in her mid 80’s, was incredible selling so many raffle tickets. Many of the Witts and Flathers family and friends helped put on a fun night (with some pretty stiff questions) that was had by all.

French’s are aiming to hold a Curry night in early November locally, if we can talk a curry house into helping us!! So keep a look out for our poster. Do try to come along to our December quiz, fish & chip night, we usually have a jolly good night at The Fleece, so come and join us.

Driveway and Patio Specialist

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts Every year in Autumn I have the intention to get the garden into a state such that when Spring comes the empty vegetable beds are all ready to plant, the borders are weed free, and the greenhouse is tidy. I have never actually achieved this, but that is not a reason for not trying again.

At the moment Mary is busy weeding the borders, and I have one vegetable bed cleared and sown with grazing rye grass as a green manure, and a second bed nearly clear. I am also in the middle of cleaning the glass in the greenhouse. Doing this job demands a dry mild day because cleaning the inside face of the glass inevitable means that some plants will need to be moved outside. Most of the summer vegetables are over and cleared away, but in mid October I am still picking a few courgettes. I have never had the plants grow as big as they have this year. Ridge cucumbers also went mad this year.

Two plants of a heritage variety called Boothby's Blond gave me over a hundred cucumbers.

Weather Records In September at Kersey there was 17.3 mm (0.7") of rain, which is only about 40% of our average monthly rainfall. The 3 monthly total at the end of September was 149 mm (5.9") which is close to the average figure. In September the maximum temperature was 22 Cel (72F) which equals the lowest since 2000, and the minimum temperature was 9 Cel (48F) which is lower than average. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 14 Cel (57F), which is the warmest that I have recorded for mid October. In early October we have had a lot of rain but it has stayed mild. As I write gales are forecast.

Hints As the weather permits carry on with planting shrubs, fruit trees, and hedges, and overhauling borders. A start can be made on hedge trimming. If possible leave hedges carrying berries until later to give the birds a chance.

The way that the weather is suggests that the final grass cut will be in November this year. Cut it when it is dry, and raise the cutter to leave it a bit longer than you have it in Summer.

It is not too late to plant more bulbs. November is a bit late for daffodils, but they will still give a good show, and it is about right for tulips. If you want to keep your dahlias, lift them as soon as they get frost damaged, cut the stems back to about 6", and store the tubers initially upside down in a frost free place that is not too hot. In the vegetable patch rough dig any vacant space, and leave for the frost to break down. One can plant broad beans, hardy peas, and Japanese onion sets. If you grow cacti they should now be given their Winter rest with little or no water until the Spring. In my greenhouse the desert cacti will get none, and the forest ones like the Christmas cactus and the epiphylliums just a drop every 2 or three weeks.

Happy Gardening, John Rye

Hadleigh & District Garden Club We had a good attendance at our October meeting, maybe because our most well known speaker was going to tell us all about his exotic garden in Norwich.

Unfortunately Will Giles has been seriously ill and attending hospital on a regular basis - as we didn't know until one hour before the meeting, that he would not be able to get to Hadleigh, we quickly had to put 'plan B' into operation. Committee member John swung into action re-arranging the seating in the Town Hall and organising a most entertaining quiz. Table three were the winners with some very knowledgable gardeners taking the lead in answering the questions - the prize a large tin of Quality Street, was passed around for all to enjoy. After a break for tea and biscuits and a chat - the raffle was called.

On Monday 10th of November Dudley Chignall will be taking us on a "Journey to Paradise"- well I am sure we would all love to go there, especially now the daylight is reducing and the temperature is dropping. Hope to see you in the Town Hall at 7.30pm, members ÂŁ1, visitors ÂŁ3.

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed during the meeting of 27 August were: • Babergh District Council report - It was noted that Babergh planned to adopt a formal process to reduce the release of sky lanterns and helium balloons, on a voluntary basis, as these were a hazard to wildlife, crops, buildings and people. Babergh had adopted a new Planning Charter covering the protocol around planning responsibilities, and elected members would not be able to take part in any discussions about planning applications. However, PCs would still be able to respond to applications and would continue to have the right to speak at planning meetings.

• Junction of Brett Green with Mill Lane - It was agreed that the Clerk would write to Highways to suggest that the priority be changed to give vehicles priority out of Brett Green, as this might help to slow vehicles down in Mill Lane.

• Defibrillators - A proposal had been submitted for two defibrillators to be purchased, one for Upper and one for Lower Layham. However, after discussion it was agreed that one defibrillator should be purchased initially for Lower Layham, to be located in the telephone box next to the Queen’s Head, and that consideration should then be given to a suitable location in Upper Layham. It was agreed that three firm quotes, in line with the PC’s Financial Regulations, should be obtained. The Clerk would also obtain quotes for the refurbishment of the phone box in Lower Layham.

• Children’s Centres - In order that the PC could make a considered response to the proposal to close the Brett River Children’s Centre in Hadleigh and merge its services with East Bergholt, the Clerk had requested more information; SCC had now responded. The Chairman said he did not consider the plan to close the Brett River centre and expect people to travel to East Bergholt to be a ‘merger’ in the true sense of the word; he commented that people needing assistance found it easier to be in a building where support was easily accessible, as in the Corn Exchange. As the formal online consultation process was more appropriate for parents than organisations, it was agreed that the Clerk would write to SCC outlining the PC’s objections to the closure.

• Path across Playing Field - The Playing Field Committee had discussed the PC’s offer to pay for a footpath across the playing field, and had said they would like to see examples of the various options in situ before making a decision. It was agreed to ask the committee to make a decision before the next PC meeting.

• Remembrance Sunday - Nine wreaths would be laid by members of the families of Layham men killed in the First World War, as well as the PC’s own wreath. The art workshop would result in 25 large wooden crosses – one for each person on the War Memorial – which would be placed around the base on the day. The wreaths had been ordered and the Clerk would write to all guests with more information, enclosing cards for them to write their messages on.

• Raworth Bungalow, Upper Street - It was noted that permission had been granted to remove/vary conditions attached to the visibility splay length, ie a reduction in length from 70 metres to 60 metres. It was agreed that the Clerk would write to Babergh to ask how it was possible for planning policy to be disregarded, as this would appear to set a dangerous precedent.

• Amendment to Standing Orders - Following a recent change in the law to allow the photographing, recording, broadcasting and transmitting of proceedings at meetings, it was agreed to delete clauses 1(11) and 1(12) from the Standing Orders.

This is followed by a service in the church. As a result of the research work 50

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

done into the men named on the war memorial, families of nine of the nineteen men who lost their lives in the First World War have been traced and will lay wreaths during the ceremony.

Seventeen young people who live in the village are taking part in an art workshop the weekend before the 9th during which they will make large wooden crosses in memory of each of the men.

These, together with exploratory art work done before making the crosses, will be featured in the ceremony and exhibited in the church.

Following the service the PCC will serve light refreshment to those who wish to remain a while, examine the children’s work and talk together.

Layham War Memorial: the stories behind the names A publication, researched and written by Michael Woods and published by the Parish Council will be available for perusal on the weekend of Remembrance Sunday.

An enlarged version will be displayed in the church, if possible all day, but should there not be space, certainly from 2pm to 4pm. It will be possible for orders to be placed for a copy of the publication itself during that time.

Welcome road works in Upper Layham It is not often that we welcome the inconvenience of road works on the B1070 but on this occasion, the three way lights at the top of Mill Lane in mid-October tell us that High Speed Broadband is on the way! We have all been prepared to wait patiently for the lights to change in the knowledge of what is to come. A tell-tale new green junction box now stands proud at the top of Mill Lane announcing that better broadband should be here soon.

Layham Playing Field A big thank you to the members of the Management Committee for giving up valuable time over a couple of weekends in October.

If you use the field you will see the hedge line between the field and Brett Green has been cleaned out and the willow dome has been worked on to strengthen the structure ready for the new growth next year.

The group could do with some younger people to give a hand now and then.

The field doesn’t just happen – members of the community keep it in reasonable order and reasonable repair. If you use the field with your children or your dog – think about putting your name forward to become part of the management group. Contact Michael Woods on 823798 A message from your PCSO Mandy Coleman DARKER NIGHTS Don’t make it easy for them. We have outbuildings and sheds full of thousands of pounds worth of belongings and then we fail to lock the doors or to use motion detection lighting or alarms.

Layham Playgroup Firstly we would like to thank all the children and their families for your kind donations for our Harvest collection. We had lots of fun celebrating harvest at the playgroup and at the church. Thank you to the members of the church for providing us with such delicious cakes and refreshments!

Speaking of cakes… our children thoroughly enjoyed their experience of baking ginger bread men (and ladies) they all had a turn at weighing out and mixing the ingredients, then they rolled out their dough to cut out shapes. The smell of gingerbread was delicious as it cooked and tasted wonderful. Please look out for posters in Hadleigh and Layham as we are currently organising an after school Christmas crafts afternoon to be held at the end of November.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 Last week Mum started giving us dinner an hour earlier than usual because the clock went back. I don’t know what was wrong with it but it must be catching because all the volunteers also lost an hour. Although we don’t worry about time, we animals are affected by the shorter, colder days and appreciate a quieter life in the winter. SESAW is therefore now open Saturdays and Sundays only, between 10am and 1pm. Visitors are welcome at other times by appointment, please leave a message on 01787 210888 and someone will call back.

The humans are rushed off their feet caring for all the animals including a litter of Romanian puppies that could be homed prior to the festive season IF they have time to settle in beforehand. Mum says they are NOT Christmas presents and will be with you for up to fifteen years so please bear this in mind when considering a new canine or feline addition to your family. Bertie, on the other paw, is a senior Jack Russell discovered with another dog in a house about to be boarded up by bailiffs. He tells me he is lonely since his companion was re-homed and craves human company. I’d better mention the black and white kittens too. They are smaller than me and nearly as cute.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Table Sales on 11th and 12th October, including the Hadleigh Community News for printing my ramblings.

Over £2,500 was raised over the two days which will help keep the animals warm, dry and well fed over the winter. Our long awaited Quiz Supper Night has just been booked for Wednesday 19th November at the “Shoulder of Mutton”, The Street, Assington, CO10 5LJ. Please phone 01206 799424 to book your tickets. Meanwhile the fundraising team are busy preparating for our Christmas Fair at Leavenheath Village Hall on Sunday 23rd November, 12-3pm. I’ve already pinched a few baubles and as it has caused so much trouble, I think Mum’s watch will also have to be hidden away by me, (Kenny the Boss) Chihuahua http://www.sesaw.co.uk/

Wed 25th Nov Mr Harriss, the headmaster of the Boy’s School in Bridge Street receives a letter from a former scholar, Lance-Sergeant Robert George Ward (photo) serving in the Machine Gun Section of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards, located in the area around Ypres in Belgium. Sergeant Ward writes, “I should very much like to be home for Christmas, but the time keeps creeping on and I am afraid it will be well into next year before we return. It will be a longer job than we expected. It seems nothing but a big slaughtering match to see who can kill the most men. I think this war will be a lesson to everyone and if it lasts much longer someone is going to be ruined.

Our lads out here don’t seem a bit down hearted. You can always hear snatches of song here and there in the trenches, for the trenches are the safest places when the ‘Black Marias’ are floating through the air. I must tell you that is what our boys call big shells. The ‘Germ Huns’ send over ‘Black Marias,’ ‘Jack Johnsons’ and ‘Iron Rations’ among other visitors with nice names”. Robert Ward goes on to tell, how after an hour of shelling the Germans would send up a couple of aeroplanes to see the results, which Ward claims as “nil”. www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

Recipe for Success

I’m sorry, but I really feel the need to report that if you are going to order this amount of food from a local takeaway business, the least you can do is to let the poor people (who were

by Sarah Thompson on the verge of cooking this somewhat large order) know that you have changed your mind and cancelled the event. There. I’ve said it. You know who you are and I can move on! Meanwhile, my lovely husband Simon Thompson who, in another life might have been Rick Stein, Heston Blumenthal or Jean Cristophe Novelli (in my dreams!) has provided this month’s recipe. So here goes. As a footnote, Simon does not do weighing and measuring but just rely on your instinct and feel for flavours.

Stuffed Marrow 1 large marrow (Vary the size depending on how many to feed) 400 g Mince or Quorn mince, 2 large red onions, Bunch of coriander Large pinch of cumin seeds, Salt and pepper, 8 medium tomatoes Root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, potatoes, yams, beetroot – any root veg you want), Olive oil, Rock salt Method Peel the potatoes and parboil until tender but not too soft. Drain and leave to cool. Dice the onions and gently fry in a small amount of oil until soft (not browned). Add the mince and fry until cooked. Dice the tomatoes and add to the pan. Chop the coriander (to taste) and add to the mince. Season with salt and pepper. Skin the marrow and hollow out using a large spoon until you have a tube. Place on tin foil in a baking tray and then spoon the mince mixture into the hollowed centre. Wrap the tin foil around the marrow so it is completely covered. Cook the marrow in the foil at 200 degrees C for between 30 to 40 minutes until tender. Cut the veg into smallish chunks and place in a baking dish. Pour enough oil over them so that they all have a covering and then sprinkle with rock salt to taste. Place in a hot oven (200 degrees C) for about 40 minutes, turning once, so that they colour. To serve, cut the marrow into slices and serve with roasted vegetables and gravy.

Hadleigh & District Footpath Volunteers Our walk this month will be on Saturday November 15th. It will be one of David Warner`s special half country, half suburban walks of surprising interest. We will leave by Bus from Hadleigh Bus Station (Car park side) at 9.30am. and travel to Sproughton Cross Roads. We will then walk to Ipswich via Belstead Park, Ellenbrook Park, Pinewood Alder Carr, Ashground Plantation, Bourne Park, Maidenhall, Old Stoke, and New Cut West. There will be a comfort, and refreshment stop at one of Old Stokes favourite Hostelries, the Ship Launch Inn. We will return to Hadleigh by Bus leaving Ipswich Bus Station at 2.15pm. and arriving back at 2.45pm. This walk is 6.5 miles in length, and is suitable for all walkers. Strong shoes, or preferably walking boots should be worn as some parts of this walk can be wet, and rough in places. There some wonderful views on this walk, especially giving its close proximity to the South Western Boundary of Ipswich. It will be well worth the effort.

Spare a thought for our animal friends who find it so very frightening, please make sure they are safe and remain unharmed.

Our thoughts are with those who are suffering and strength given to those who are risking their lives to help.

We, at times, do not realise how lucky we are to have freedom of speech, choice , and movement there are so many who do not.

A little bird told me you have a crush on each other is this true?

Buttons: well yes I do but she doesn't have a clue! I think I am in the ‘friend zone now’ Cinders: oh don't be silly, buttons is 100% my best friend.. almost family!!!

So... what is the worst thing about living with the ugly sisters?

Buttons: when I go round there is such a bad smell, and you wanna see the bras hanging on the line.. They could be parachutes!!!! Cinders: THE SMELL, A kebab every day can’t be good for them Do you think the ugly sisters will ever find them self's a boyfriend looking like that?

Cinders: well I'm sure Ronald McDonald or Mr Blobby may be interested if they don't have a scene of smell!!! Buttons: Well I guess anything is possible but they don't impress me much!

Jed Seeley smashes Newton Green Course Record Junior Jed Seeley has smashed the amateur course record at Newton Green Golf Club by two shots - and also beaten the lowest professional score. In a club qualifying Stabelford competition he scored 45 points off a handicap of three, while going round in 63 shots – six below par.

Seeley, 17, is an assistant in the club shop run by Tim Cooper, and recently made his debut for Suffolk second team as the county tied up the Anglian League title. He was also part of Newton’s recent Hambro Cup success, and hopes to begin a three-year PGA course under Cooper when he becomes 18 in a years’ time. The previous amateur record of 65 was jointly shared by Russell Oakey and Mark Duthie, while Cooper holds the professional record of 64. Seeley, who was partnered in his record round by fellow Suffolk junior Harvey Watts, was even for the first six holes before scoring seven birdies in 10 holes.

However, he was undone on the long, par- three 18th, as he registered his first bogey of the day – a fate which also struck Duthie on the same hole in his recent round. Seeley also passed the previous junior course record of 66 set

by Adam Woodhead, and his new handicap is 1.7.

As always “Fun in the Sun” at the Hadleigh Tennis Club President’s Day. The last Sunday in September saw Hadleigh Tennis Club celebrate the end of the summer season with the traditional President`s tournament. The tournament is a fun event but still with a competitive edge. Members of The club play tennis in a variety of match formats, including mixed doubles, ladies and men’s doubles and this year a tennis quiz round. Throughout the morning event individual players accumulate points towards the result of the tournament. As always, the tournament was well supported by members of the club and their guests, with competitors striving to win the “President’s Cup” and other prizes.

The eventual winner by only 1 point was Ben Daniels, who received the “Ken Goddard memorial cup”, from Peter Richards, Hadleigh Tennis Club president.

Other prizes were won by Liz Allen, Eunice Scott, Jan Richards, Ellen Williams and John Parry-Williams for various achievements. The competition was followed by a convivial buffet lunch where members and guests discussed the points that “just got away”.

Hadleigh Tennis club plays on three sessions per week during the summer months: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 12.00 pm. We are pleased to advise that annual membership fees have been held at £100 for adults and £60 for students, (this will be charged pro-rata for new members joining the club during the season).

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United’s hopes of progress in the Suffolk Premier Cup were ended at the first attempt as local rivals Brantham were successful at the Millfield. The game produced only one goal which came from a penalty kick early in the second half. Hadleigh also hope for a good run in the F.A Vase which begins on Saturday 22nd November. After the defeat at Billericay in the F.A Cup it was back to league action with a remarkable eight goal win against Diss at the Millfield. Duane Wright scored five of the goals in this record breaking win. The next match saw the first league defeat of the season with a three goal loss at Gorleston. The home match against Kirkley was drawn which meant Hadleigh lost their leadership of the league table.

The Reserves gained a great win at Ipswich Wanderers in the Suffolk Reserves cup with Luke Hines and Harry Evans on target. League matches against Brantham and Felixstowe were lost. Two Reserve matches against Whitton were both won with Evans scoring a couple of penalty kicks in the second games. The Reserves are playing in a higher league this season and so far they are doing well. The Thurlow Nunn Youth team have had a busy time. They gained their first win of the season by beating Halstead by three goals. Luke Hines got two goals while George Foster was also on target in what was a superb display by the whole team. Another good performance earned a draw against Witham with Dan Knight and Sam Sharp on target. The youths play their matches in midweek and supporters are always welcome.

The club have arranged a number of events in the clubhouse with details on the club website. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw are Barry Stokes and Michael Barwick. The Ground Improvement draw was won by John Day Terry Adams Hadleigh United Fixtures Hadleigh United’s first team begin November on Saturday 1st with a trip to Wivenhoe. On Saturday 8th Stanway visit the Millfield and then we visit Thetford on Saturday 15th. Then Fakenham make the long journey to Hadleigh on Saturday 29th. The Reserves will be at home to East Bergholt on Saturday 1st in the Suffolk Reserves Cup. Then Felixstowe come to Hadleigh on Saturday 15th. An away match at Brantham on Saturday 22nd will be followed by another away match on Saturday 29th at Brightlingsea. Our Thurlow Nunn youth team entertain Sudbury on Wednesday 5th before Brantham make the short journey to Hadleigh on Wednesday 12th. The month ends at Long Melford on a date to be arranged. Supporters should note that any alteration to the above fixtures will be on the club website. Cup matches take priority.

Coats for goal posts, knocking the crusted mud off your boots on Saturday mornings and Match Of The Day on Saturday nights.......all great football staples but what ever happened to half time oranges?

All across the land hotly contested youth football matches are played out on a weekly basis with great spirit, passion and enjoyment but without half time oranges and since getting involved with coaching my sons youth football team I couldn't help thinking something was missing. The FA continue to promote many changes to create a successful blue print for grass roots soccer and many of the changes are well received and will hopefully have a positive impact for our youngsters.......but theres still room for a bit of old fashioned football tradition and certainly one thats a bit of fun and has such healthy benefits.

So when one of this years Hadleigh Under 10s mums saw a Jaffa promotion in the paper and suggested 'bringing back the oranges' we thought it was a great idea. A massive thank you to Rob And Vicky Woolston who have been providing oranges for the boys all season. They have been surprisingly well received with very few left overs each week. Not all the boys are as keen as others but we are hoping that by the end of the season all the boys will be eagerly reaching for a well earned vitamin boost at half time. Who knows by the end of the season maybe a half time orange will once again be as ingrained in the football psyche as the pre match coin toss, the FA Cup third round draw and Arsenal failing to convert a promising season into trophies!

The U10s have enjoyed a very successful start to the season and you never know maybe its the oranges that are having the desired effect.

Well done to all the HUFC U10 parent helpers who continue to help make the team such a success and enable our lads to take part in the game they love especially the refreshment ladies Kelly Ashton, Tracey Squirrell, Kerrie Carter, our referee Harry Corbyn, Coaches Dave, Carl and Craig and also Vicky and Rob for providing the oranges.
