HUFC secure new lease at Millfield Hadleigh United Football Club is pleased to announce that they have a new 25 lease at the Millfield from the Town Council. Club Chairman Rolf Beggerow stated "The new Lease not only provides long term security of tenure for the Club at the Millfield, but it also facilitates the erection of a mobile phone mast that will give the Mobile Phone Operators the opportunity to improve their coverage in the Town. As part of the commercial arrangements, the Club will receive a new set of floodlights that will be installed at the end of the current football season. The significantly reduced light spillage from the new lights will no doubt be welcomed by residents near the Millfield and by road users. Also judging from the number of complaints I see registered on Social Media having an improved Mobile Phone coverage in the Town will be welcomed. This news can only be described as a ‘Win Win’ for Hadleigh".

Parkinson’s Disease Sufferers I am trying to start a weekly / monthly get together of people with Parkinson's Disease. I have had PD for over 10 years now and know how important it has been for me having people who are living with this disease to talk to and who can understand exactly what you are feeling has helped me through the darkest times. I was diagnosed at the age of 45 I was so shocked and frightened and knew little about PD and felt so alone but made friends through forums and joined The Parkinson’s UK Society who have been a great help and my story was in the latest edition of the magazine, ‘Julie's Story’.

Please get in contact if you are interested and depending on numbers I can make plans to find a suitable venue for the get together.

SOLD BY LET BY

During her life, Ruth Finbow has touched a lot of people’s lives. I would like to pay tribute for the help she gave me when I was the manager of Bildeston Boys football team in the late nineties, when she was secretary of Bildeston F.C. She was an inspiration to the teenage boys under my management with her enthusiasm and drive to play her part in making life better for one of the groups she supported, she was always at meetings accompanied by her husband. My son Barry applied to go on working experience with Suffolk Police, but was not successful. Ruth still encouraged him to keep trying, and he listened to her, and now he is an inspector with Essex Police with a doctorate in law, thank you Ruth. You will always be remembered by lots of people, and thanks again.

Howard, Brenda and Roberto on The Broads Hello dear readers – as the sun was setting on another Summer, I thought that it would be nice for my mother Brenda, our good friend Roberto Vasilli and I to have a few hours on the Norfolk Broads. I had a word with H E Hipperson at Beccles (Tel. 01502 712166) and chartered one of their electric boats for a few hours. My chauffeur Frank polished the stretch limo and we boarded bound for Norfolk. We enjoyed coffee and a picnic en route. The picture is a “selfie” of me and entourage in the launch and we had an enjoyable afternoon passing the back gardens of houses and then along the broads with all sorts of birds flying about and voles and such like plopping into the water. It was a simple outing but great fun and memorable for evermore. Frank’s fruits have been ripening and Maria recently pickled his walnuts – they’ll be quite a treat on Christmas Day. We try to give a good service, we are happy to see our clients as they come in and chat to them on the telephone. Indeed, a client well known to us brought us some papers on a Thursday evening seeking to exchange the next day and we duly reviewed over night and sought to achieve his wishes.

Larger organisations just do not seem to offer what I call a good service. Just ten days ago the AA kept me waiting for over four hours when I had a flat tyre. A taxi that was due to be sent took an hour and a half. Even John Lewis has managed to make the most almighty mess of an order for appliances and out of two items to be delivered both were taken away! I had to make yet another visit to John Lewis in Ipswich where the only manager available was responsible for furs and fabrics. No one is bothered about anything. Unfortunately, my mother is in hospital but she is making good progress. It annoys me considerably as I walk in through the front entrance of Ipswich Hospital and pass rows of patients smoking.

The higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax are payable in broad terms when one buys a second property. It is something that one has to factor into the expenses of buying another residential property. The cost of Conveyancing is only one factor in deciding who to appoint to act on your behalf. The ability to be able to speak to an experienced Solicitor and to obtain pertinent advice is more important. Complicated websites of some of these large conveyancing combines based miles away do not mean that you are going to enjoy a user friendly experience. As I always recommend – use the services that are available on your door step.

Keeping Hadleigh in bloom Devoted not to having another year without hanging baskets to brighten up our High Street, in June this year I bought 24 hanging baskets from Deans’ Nursery in Great Bromley and sold them at cost to thirteen businesses up and down the High Street.

It has been fantastic to have the backing of so many people, all equally keen and committed to making Hadleigh look its best. With sponsorship money raised from The Gables Bed & Breakfast and Adnams, I bought a water bowser to help support the businesses with the watering of their hanging baskets.

2017 will be Hadleigh’s “Festival of Gardening & Arts” and it would be great have even more of the High Street’s shops on board, so if you could spare some time to help with the watering of the baskets, please let me know. Sarah Dean from Deans’ recently judged the Hanging Baskets and it was agreed that the award for Best Kept Basket should go to Bev Neville at Nevelli Designer Home Heating for the extra special care and attention she has given her basket.

For those businesses out there eager to see our town thrive there is now a Visit Hadleigh Website www.visithadleigh.co.uk promoting our High Street, History and Events. If you would like to contribute to this, please contact me.

‘Touchy Feely’ Blankets

Magdalen House Residents and Carers with Jean Seabrook and Manager, Lea Radcliff (centre back L&R) Christmas came early to Magdalen Road Care Home this year when Jan Devey and Jean Seabrook recently delivered a large number of Dementia blankets for their residents to enjoy. These 'touchy feely' creations were the work of Jan and the Whatfield based ladies group, Cameo, where Jean is member. Most of the colourful tactile fabrics used as a base for the blankets were generously donated by Jayrest Interiors and Les Hymas Restorations.

The rest of the unusual applications came from personal collections, sewing boxes, the Hadleigh Thrift shop and Country Threads. Apart from the obvious therapeutic effect of touching the blankets, many of the attached items evoke happy memories. “I hope the blankets give as much pleasure as I had making them" said Jan who plans to continue the project and eventually provide for the residents in the other Hadleigh care facilities.

Conservation Matters Have you ever noticed the brown discolouration that you sometimes get with old framed pictures? This is called foxing and is caused by the acids that occur naturally in wood pulp, which is the main constituent of the board used to frame the photo. It occurs where the artwork has contact with mountboard, or sometimes, wood and is often only apparent when the frame is taken apart. Before this effect was fully understood most picture framing would lead to premature ageing and eventually destruction of the art, photo or document.

You can minimise this by getting your picture reframed – or just have the mount changed if you’re fond of the frame – using conservation mountboard which has had the acidity reduced in the manufacturing process. Surprisingly conservation mountboard is no more expensive than regular mountboard – but the range of colours is more limited.

If you have something to frame that is valuable – either financially or sentimentally –and you want to preserve it for generations to come, give Walnut Tree Framing a call and Jim Duckham, a Fine Art Trade Guild commended framer, will advise you on the way to proceed.

Jim works by appointment, and runs the business from his garden studio where there are hundreds of frames on display. This way he is able to give you his undivided attention and use his 26 years of framing experience to guide you through the process. The website is still in a state of development at the moment, but he’s working on it. Walnut Tree Framing is literally 2 mins walk from the centre of Hadleigh and is at 33 George St - just past the Baptist Church on the left as you leave town.

It seems Rainy Days are here to stay With 4 of the 5 wettest years on record occuring since the year 2000 it seems that rainy days are here to stay. Gutters and downpipes that do not have the sufficient capacity to remove rainwater are liable to overflow and in older properties this can lead to water entering the fabric of the building. Deep flow guttering increases the capacity of the guttering on your property by up to 100% reducing the need for additional down pipes and preventing overflowing gutters. Hadleigh based Deep Flow Gutter Systems are able to supply and fit a range colours and finishes including cast iron and PVC sourced from market leading suppliers including Heritage Cast Iron Rainwater and Deepflow Systems.

Another common problem with a property’s guttering is blockages. Over a period of time a collection of leaves and moss etc can build up, reducing the gutters ability to remove rainwater to the downpipes.

Using a state of the art 10 metre reach Vac system, complete with inspection camera, Deep Flow Gutter Systems are able to fully clean your gutters from the safety of the ground without the need for ladders, scaffolding or articulated boom lift equipment.

Contact Deep Flow Systems on 01473 879448 or 07970 828559 deepfloguttering@hotmail.co.uk

I am sure you have all noticed the brightly painted, newly re-instated double and single yellow lines in several areas around the town. These have been promised by SCC Highways department for quite sometime and it is good to see they finally have completed works. I can confirm that both the colour and width of the lines conform to legal requirements.

Hadleigh SNT have already been out on Parking Enforcement days, together with Speed Enforcement which proved very successful. We will continue to do this on a regular basis.

So, please be reminded that DOUBLE YELLOW LINES mean NO WAITING AT ANY TIME, whilst SINGLE YELLOW LINES are NO WAITING MONDAY TO SATURDAY 0800 TO 1800. Whilst writing, can I also remind you of the LIMITED WAITING BAYS that are positioned in the High Street. Please note the restrictions, vehicles are not to be parked all day, there are free car parks for this purpose. These bays will also be monitored.

PARKING also continues to be a problem around our schools in the town.

Please be mindful of residents when you leave your vehicles to deliver and collect your child from school. They may wish to get to their properties and will not appreciate being blocked from doing this. Similarly, allow enough space for Emergency vehicles to pass, otherwise you may find your vehicle has been moved, or worst still hit, by an emergency vehicle responding to a call.

Hadleigh currently has a group of volunteers, who in their sparetime, go to specific locations around the town and monitor SPEED ENFORCEMENT. COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH is very well supported through a number of villages in the Babergh area. Hadleigh’s scheme is currently very busy and I regularly receive Returns from them with vast numbers of index marks of speeding motorists in the town. These volunteers go through vigorous checks and training in order to become users of the Speed Camera and they do a very good job. If your vehicle index mark is recorded as being over the speed limit, I am notified, a vehicle check is done to discover name and address of driver/owner and a letter is sent out. More than one recorded incident, often results in a visit from an officer which may result in prosecution. HADLEIGH COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH are currently looking for more volunteers. If you would like to be part of this, please contact me - my details are at the bottom of this article.

HALLOWEEN is coming up at the end of the month as well as BONFIRE NIGHT at the beginning of November. Suffolk Police urge you to consider the effects your actions may have and to respect those who may not want to take part in the festivities. Traditionally both nights are busy for Police with a large number of calls relating to anti-social behaviour by a minority who take “Trick or Treat” too far and firework-related incidents. We want people to enjoy themselves but be mindful of others. We would ask parents to ensure they supervise their children, for their own safety, and to ensure they only call at addresses where it is obvious residents are willing to be involved – this is often by decorated windows/doors etc. Suffolk Police can issue posters for elderly residents to display in windows which request no callers – again I have some of these at the station, so please feel free to contact me. There will be a supply of posters in your local shops also nearer the time.

I will cover BONFIRE NIGHT in next month’s edition of HCN. But for now I hope you all enjoy Halloween and remember……THE CLOCKS GO BACK AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the two months of summer we have had. At times it was a little too hot for the animals in our care, but in all it was lovely to see and feel the sun, while it was here.

Quiz Night on Saturday 22nd October 7pm at Boxford Village Hall. Fish and chip super with a raffle and a good night ahead for everyone who joins us. Tickets in advance, to book your table please contact: Diana dpwitts@hotmail.com 07713 638871 Mandy flather@btinternet.co 07885 654030 We have had a busy summer looking after all our rescued animals and our Donkeys have gained many admirers along the way, I have enclosed a lovely photo of Costa and Frankie playing with their ball.

On our care farm side we have had different groups of young people come to us from Talent Match in Ipswich. French’s offer a day where young people who have been out of work for over a year a chance to gain confidence in their own abilities and gain work experience with us.

We are also hoping to help another group of people with eating disorders that come from a specialist care group in Ipswich. Those we help either work alongside of our animals or join in the general work we do on the farm, the outcomes are generally positive for those with specialist needs who come to us and it is a pleasure for French’s to be part of helping local young people move forward in life.

I would like to say thank you to a local firm Phillips Brothers, who sponsor us by providing wood shavings for some of our animals, they have continued to support us and we want to give them a great big THANK YOU. If you would like quality shavings for your horses or live stock you can contact them on: 01473 313063. Also I would like to thank Charles & Fiona Camp at Popples House and Sue Leverets at Stanstead Hall for donations of hay.

We are still crying out for volunteers, if you know how to bang in a nail, help with fencing and odd fixing jobs please call Jann, We need you! Or if you would like to get fit and help with some poo picking or help us on our stable yard with the horses and donkeys, please call.

We are happy to announce that by the time this goes to print we should have our licence and to be able to offer pony and horse experience sessions with us, where you will be able to groom, sit on and ride the pony or horse and learn how to care for them. We will also be offering pony parties to children who’s parents want something different for their child as a birthday or special treat. Call Jann for more information.

VETERINARY PRACTICE Providing Pet Care 24/7 For Over 100 Years

What a swell party this is Well, we have some helpers, the venue and some sponsorship (although more volunteers/donations would be gratefully received) so now all we need are guests. Whether you are an individual, a business or a family member we need your nominations. The Christmas Present Trust is about giving a wonderful party on Christmas Day for anyone who, for whatever reason, will be by themselves on this day. For example, you may be a wife/husband/partner of someone who is having to work (Armed Forces, Doctors etc) so you and your children could come along. You may live away from family, you may have a carer - feel free to bring them. Whatever the reason we would love to see you.

The event is free but we need prior notification so we can cater for you.

Please contact us on 01473 829246 or hadleighsimon@gmail.com. Donations should be made out to The Christmas Present Trust and can be paid in directly to the Ipswich Building Society.

In November's magazine we will be announcing details of an exciting Celebrity Auction to raise money for the event. Watch this space!

Why Angel Street?

Angel Street is among the oldest roads in Hadleigh, but like some of the other old roads in the town its name has changed during the centuries. Angel Street was once named Biggen Street for some two hundred years, then during the 18th century the name Angel Street became used. At the end of this road where it meets the High Street are the premises of the Kings Head but previously the elevation fronting Angel Street was a separate entity, and being named the Angel Inn. It must be assumed that this was the origin the road name which we still use to this day.

ALL BIKES WELCOME Bike services available from £45 - book your appointment today!

Kersey Mill Newsletter Its pleasing to say that Phase 2 of the restorations are nearly complete all but some finishing work to be finalised during the Phase 3 restoration programme.

This is due to the access across the Hurst frame which is completely rotten.

The repairs to the Hurst Frame, crown wheels, drive shaft and associated machinery together with three pairs of stones forming the phase 3 restorations will commence early 2017.

Our thoughts are now very much on Santa’s Workshop 2016. A major fundraising event where all profits are used for the restoration. TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE www.kerseymill.net or telephone 01473 829317. Santa’s Workshop this year will benefit from the extra space that has been created from the completion of works to the frame, enabling us to expand upon the event. The unique Santa’s Workshop over the years has grown in popularity and this year the extra space will prove beneficial, incorporating additional activities for the children visiting Santa.

We recently received some lovely written memoirs from Philip Fairfax Mason “Memories of a Life” 1912 – 1991. There were 3 generations of Millers within the Mason family, Philip Mason being the nephew of Ben Mason the last Miller here. Phillip describes with great fondness his time spent in the Kersey area.

He talks of the well-stocked river, the delicious apples from the orchard, the shingle bank near the mill pool and all the water cress. The walk to church on a Sunday morning and again in the evening, the Penny Farthing bike kept in the coach house, and the abundance of rabbits.

Phillip writes, “Whilst I was at Kersey I used to do a lot of rabbiting. My mentor was a retired farm worker, living in a tied cottage on a nearby farm owned by the Partridge family. He was known as ‘Old Ike’ and what he didn’t know about rabbiting wasn’t worth knowing. Either way it was quite a pleasant way to spend a day, performing a twofold service, one ridding the Partridges of rabbits and two to provide Ike with enough pocket money for tobacco and beer from selling the skins of the rabbits for sixpence a time. It made a lot of money in those days and helped him with his pension that was only 10 bob a week.

It appears that somethings have changed considerably and others not much at all.

We recently provided a tour of the Mill to the friends of Alderford Mill near Halstead.

Alderford Mill is a preserved watermill, medium sized , and sits on the River Colne in Essex. It has undergone significant restoration over the past ten years and now has a fully working water wheel and most of the associated machinery. Someway ahead of us. Well worth a visit.

Introduction I am delighted to take this opportunity every month to share with you a glimpse of life at Hadleigh Community Primary School. We hope you enjoy reading about many of our learning opportunities and special events which enhance the school day. As a new school year begins we extend a warm welcome to families who are new to our school. Also, a warm welcome is extended to our new members of staff: Mrs Meadows and Miss Grimsey have all enjoyed their first lessons with their new classes.

We also welcome Mr King, Mrs Walker, Mr Scarlott, Mrs O’Neil, Miss Robinson and Mrs Oxford to our support staff.

Gary Pilkington, Headteacher

Ofsted May 2016 As you may be aware, Hadleigh Community Primary School was recognised as a good school again by OFSTED following an inspection in May, much to the delight of everyone associated with the school.

We have improved rapidly since the last inspection in 2014 and the inspectors recognised the dedication of all staff and governors in bringing about this improvement.

Amongst many positive comments the inspectors stated…

• “pupils make good progress and achieve well because of good teaching” • “the governing body is effective” • “teachers provide consistently good-quality teaching and learning activities” • “teaching assistants and apprentices are well trained, skilled and enthusiastic” • “the early years is a strength of the school” • “the wider curriculum is outstanding” • “pupil’s respond very positively to do their best in everything they do” • “the school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is outstanding” But it is this final quote which typifies why we are, in the truest sense, a community school...

• “ a strong sense of community is at the heart of Hadleigh Primary, where everyone is proud of the school and committed to ensuring its future success.”

Early Years Foundation Stage Nursery The new nursery children have settled in very well and are enjoying exploring their new environment both inside and outside. Some of them have even stayed for lunch in our new Nursery Lunch Club we have started, where they can go into ‘big school’ to enjoy a hot school meal before going back to Nursery to play.

Reception Year The Reception children have just completed their first full week at school. They have enjoyed exploring the different areas of the Unit, including their first visit to the woods.

They have experienced their first Music and PE sessions with our specialist teachers and the children have been excited about meeting all the other pupils in the school.

It has also been wonderful to watch the children enthusiastically eating their delicious school lunches. The staff are very proud of the children, each of whom has received a certificate to reward them for making an excellent start to their school career.

Key Stage 1 (Year groups 1 + 2)

Music

Our Key Stage One classes have settled back in brilliantly and we have been very pleased at how they approached the new year-striving to be the Best that they can be.

Our Year 2 pupils had a wonderful time during their trip to Felixstowe even though it was on one of the hottest September days on record! The cooling sea breeze helped as they studied the physical and human features of a seaside town as well as having a play on the beach. Their topic this half term is 'Coasts' and they can now use what they saw to assist them with their English work. In fact they have already composed some interesting poems about their experiences of the seaside.

Year 1 are spending this term looking at the homes that people live in as well as looking at the wonders of the human body. They have settled wonderfully and are coping well with the transition from Foundation Stage.

SINGING IS GOOD FOR YOU and it is at the heart of our school!

Autumn term started with some enthusiastic singing of our whole school song 'Believe', with all children showing their commitment to learn and be the best that they can be! This term will have a focus on both unison and two part singing.

Clubs The autumn term sees the start of our new clubs timetable. Clubs run both at lunchtimes and after school. They range from sports (dodgeball, handball, hockey, tag rugby, football and even darts!) to music clubs (recorders, violins, flute and choir), Military Mates (for children of our Service families) and even ‘Clarkanory’ which is our version of Jackanory!

Our after school clubs include drama, IT coding, dance and fitness, woodland fun, recorders and Let’s Sing, a relaxing and pleasurable singing club for any adult of HCPS. We are also offering paid sports clubs after school as ‘optional extras’ under our Extended Schools Services for which a fee is payable. Currently, we offer girls multi sports on a Monday and football on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

We are intending to add more clubs over the term.

A call out to local businesses Our school is looking to kick-start funding of new projects, the first being a new school library hub. Are you able to help either with sponsorship or your time with a more hands on approach?

If so, please do get in touch. Email Jackie: bursar@hadcps.uk

HCPS Open Week From week commencing Monday 7th November at 10am each morning, our Headteacher Mr Pilkington will be conducting tours of our school for prospective parents. This is mainly aimed at parents whose child’s date of birth falls between 1st September 2012 and 31st August 2013 as applications for starting full time school need to be submitted by mid-January 2017. If this is you and you would like to join Mr Pilkington, please register your interest at the school office, using the contact details below. We look forward to meeting you.

We are of course happy to show prospective parents around our ‘good’ school at any time – please make an appointment via the school office.

New Group Fitness Classes offer great workout in under 30 minutes When it comes to reasons why people don’t exercise, “I don’t have time” has to be one of the top excuses. With this in mind, Hadleigh Pool & Leisure fitness team have introduced new short, sharp, results-focussed classes to their timetable so fitting exercise into the busiest of days is becoming easier than ever.

The classes are HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) style workout aimed at being able to achieve results within 30 minutes of high intense effort. The classes often use body weight exercises; pushing, pulling, lunging or squatting to exercise the prime target areas to get leaner, stronger & fitter. The only equipment used are weights, mats & bands throughout the intense and effective workout Claire Evans, Coordinator & Instructor says “people are both time poor but wanting results that exercise brings such as losing weight & toning so offering HIIT 30 minute or 45 minute formats helps people meet their goals” The Les Mills classes we run are: CXWORX, BODYPUMP, GRIT & BODYBALANCE keep people challenged & motivated through progressive class content & releasing new workouts every 3 months. Each of the tracks of the pumping & inspiring music is individually selected to match the type of exercise meaning it is modern & motivating….keeping you entertained whilst you work hard!

These classes compliment the extensive group fitness programme on offer for all ages, abilities & fitness levels where you will find Circuits, Boxercise, Bootcamp, or a dance style class with Zumba & Clubbrcise or dip into the pool for Aqua Aerobics View the timetable at www.ssleisure.co.uk or call 01473 823470

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk I know that the issue of speeding on our local roads matters a great deal to many communities in South Suffolk. We have recently had what I know will feel like ‘yet another’ tragic road traffic accident on the A134 near Sudbury. Of course, each incident has its unique circumstances and our first thoughts must be with the family of the victim; we should not jump to conclusions but await the investigative process. However, what we can be certain about is that this was not the first fatal accident on the South Suffolk stretch of the A134 in recent months and my constituents will be rightly concerned.

That said, the A134 is not unique and I have stretches of road across the constituency where residents are worried about speeding, and then there are the junctions of the A12 around East Bergholt which I have previously raised with the Highways Agency. Most commonly, constituents will request amended speed limits for specific stretches of road. The good news is that Suffolk County Council already has plans for speed restrictions on the A134 with new 40mph limits in place from Nayland to Honey Tye and Newton to Sudbury garden centre.

Speeding is a particular concern for vulnerable road users, especially those on two wheels or four legs. With growing enthusiasm for cycling nationwide – a passion I share – there has been an increasing focus in recent years on the danger to cyclists on our roads. However, far less attention has been paid to equestrian safety and I recently had the pleasure to visit a group of campaigners in Hadleigh who are part of the national horse riding initiative ‘Pass Wide and Slow’. The campaigners explained that they have had problems with drivers speeding up to horse riders and causing injury to either the animal or rider by scaring the horse.

So, a part of this is raising awareness, in the manner of the well-publicised ‘think bike’ campaign. We may also need stronger laws around aspects of reckless driving. We certainly want to keep pressing on with a local focus on specific traffic trouble-spots.

Aladdin Panto is coming to Hadleigh 2017- Oh yes it is.......

HADS have been busy preparing for its 3rd year in panto with its production of Aladdin. With a cast of around 30 with all ages taking part the show will take place in January 2017 at Hadleigh’s largest venue, St Mary's Church. The panto will yet again have comedy, music, magic and slapstick routines suitable for all ages with the chance to be involved in the show too. HADS has been running since 1920 and has bought plays and shows to Hadleigh of all types.

More recently the panto Robin Hood of Wolves Wood and also a murder mystery show as well. HADS cannot carry on with out the support of local people taking part and also local sponsorship too. Unfortunately Hadleigh does not have a venue with a curtained show stage so every year we have to hire one in at quite a large cost. If you would like to help us out with some of our show costs which include stage hire, rehearsal space hire and costume hire then please get in touch via our website www.hads.moonfruit.com We look forward to bringing Hadleigh more entertainment and hope we can keep going to make HADS up to 100 years running.

Many thanks, Trev Clarke, Chairman of HADS

Calling All Ukulele Players Plans are afoot to launch a ukulele group for Hadleigh and its surrounding villages. Do you play the ukulele? Are you a beginner, an intermediate player or an expert? Would you like to meet up with other uke players and play together, chat, share ideas and share music, maybe put on a gig or two?

Hadleigh Ukulele Group (HUG) will be for uke players and anybody interested in this fun and entertaining instrument.

If you think this is a good idea and would like to be part of it, send an email with your name and telephone number to ‘hadleighukulelegroup@gmail.com’. If enough people express an interest you will then be contacted with details of the date, time and place for an open meeting at which ideas can be discussed and plans made to formally launch Hadleigh’s own ukulele group. To receive details of the ukulele group launch meeting send your name and telephone number in an email to hadleighukulelegroup@gmail.com. More information is also on our website - hadleighukulelegroup.onesuffolk.net Some interesting facts about the ukulele: The ukulele, the first of which was made in 1879, is a member of the lute family of instruments and is derived from a stringed instrument that first appeared in Portugal in 139 BC. The ukulele business is booming. In recent years ukulele manufacturers such as Kala have reported growth of 500-600% and around the world in 2015 ukulele sales rose by 1200%. The first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, was a uke player and when he returned to Earth he spent several weeks in quarantine as scientists at the time feared he may have picked up strange bacteria while in space. He spent much of this time strumming his uke. Other famous players are: Taylor Swift, Pete Townsend, Peter Sellers, Cyndi Lauper, Warren Buffet, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Madonna, Joni Mitchell and Frank Skinner.

There are approx 250 ukulele groups on the UK and if enough people are interested in joining, Hadleigh’s uke group could be number 251.

Kangen Water Want to get your health back - naturally?

Change your Water - Change your life Kangen Water is a special water that is radically changing the lives of many people around the world. The word Kangen means “return to origin” in Japanese and describes water that has been returned to the state in which it is often found in nature.

Kangen Water is produced by water ionisers manufactured exclusively by Enagic, a Japanese company established in 1974.These units are approved as a medical equipment by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare and are used in many hospitals and clinics in Japan.

The question is “HOW ACIDIC ARE YOU?” and do you suffer from any of these symptoms?

IBS, Arthritis, Constipation, Asthma, Joint Pain, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Migraine, Headaches, Obesity, Prostrate and other Colon problems, Heart Disease, these, and many more can be helped and sometimes eradicated by drinking Kangen Water every day.

How does this happen? Kangen Water is a powerful antioxidant, alkaline in PH and with anti-aging properties, is a great way to increase hydration, neutralise free radicals, which reduces the acidity in your body improving your health naturally. Kangen Water has a clean light refreshing taste and because of the very small molecules, goes down easily and hydrates your body in seconds.

Jenny Mose from Essex has this to say about Kangen Water: I have been using Kangen for a number of weeks now and still can't believe how wonderful it is. After drinking the water for only a couple of weeks my health has improved 100%. I no longer need any medication for IBS and my arthritis has improved. My friends have all commented on how well I look and want to know my secret. I am a huge animal lover and I have many pets one of them a dog, she has a couple of her own health problems that have really improved since I've been giving her the Kangen water to drink, it's amazing to see what a different dog she is, she has more energy a beautiful coat and seems so much happier. I could say so much more about Kangen water, it has actually changed my life for the better.

A demonstration and tasting session is being held above The George Public House, in Hadleigh High Street on 14th October 2016 at 7pm.

Also, all day at the Holistic M.B.S. Fayre, Venture Centre, Lawford, CO11 2JE on 5th November 2016.

Pause for Thought - Decisions

Where should they sit on the beach? By the sea wall with others, or totally on their own at the water’s edge, 100 yards away?

The couple were pleased with their shoreline spot by the groynes until loud screams disturbed their peace. A child was clearly in distress, but where?

Without thinking, the man ran into the sea, waving and shouting desperately to attract attention from holidaymakers.

The little girl was behind the groynes, completely out of her depth and panicking. Fully clothed, and still yelling for help, the man dived. He too discovered he was out of his depth, but was strong enough to swim and haul at the same time. At last others realised the seriousness of the situation, including the girl’s family, who had lost sight of her. She had been in total danger, but her family was oblivious.

The decision to sit by the shoreline had probably saved a child’s life. How about your decisions? Will they prove to be of vital importance too? Some will. How about the decision not to find out what God’s Word, the Bible, really says? Or the decision to dismiss the claims of Jesus when he said He was The Way, the Truth and The Life? Or the decision not to explore the claim that Jesus chose to die on a cruel cross to pay for sin and offer forgiveness to you personally?

How about the decision not to think about life beyond death?

Many people come to The Bungalow seeking help or have been persuaded by family, friends etc to “try it” - what have you got to lose”. The comment are varied from “I thought I would try you because nothing else works” or I don't believe in it but its worth a try”. All these thoughts are real and many people are sceptical. But ask yourself – could it work for me? We cannot claim to cure but we can help. Maybe just someone taking the time to listen to your problems, not being judgemental and in the strictest confidence. Will be all that is needed for you to feel more positive about yourself and feeling you can cope with life's problems. In today's world the problems are many and some beyond our understanding. Our qualified registered healers are too willing to help and will not charge. We are a registered charity. Think about it and ring telephone: 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org for an appointment.

The Hadleigh Historian Issue 36 (October - November 2016) Reader Sharon Seager of Hadleigh has suggested that the meanings of the town’s streets would be an interesting feature so an alphabetical list has been compiled.

This issue contains information concerning street names beginning with A and B. The pieces have been written by Millie Goulbourn, Margaret Jeffery, Jean Styles and Sue Andrews, who are members of Hadleigh Local Studies Workshop. Millie Goulbourn is particularly interested in finding out about Hadleigh’s doctors and she will be speaking at St Mary’s Church on 29th October at 7.30pm about the first known rector of this parish, who was also physician to the king.

The series ‘We are the Hadleigh clothiers' continues with wealthy Nicholas Strutt.

Gill Dudley played the part of his widow Anne and told their story at Hadleigh Year of the Sheep 2015 Grand Finale.

Nicholas lived at Toppesfield Hall and his brass memorial can still be seen in the south chancel aisle of St Mary’s Church. He was particularly interested in supporting the poor of the town. During his lifetime, he did much concerning the conditions in the parish workhouse in the Guildhall and on the day of his death 3rd February 1602, he gave £100 for their benefit. The money was used to buy farmland in Polstead but bad record-keeping assigned the charity to the former landowner Sir John Bourchier and not to Nicholas. Hence there is a Bourchier Close in Hadleigh but not a street named after the Strutts as Anne also established a perpetual charity.

If you have ever undertaken famiy history research, you will have come across the problem of conflicting information. Patience Dunnett, formerly Brooks, Formerly Collis nee Rosher appears in ’Stories from Semer Workhouse in 1881’ as the census that year has her down as born in Hadleigh. On the six other occasions that she appears in the census returns currently available for research, her birthplace was always a different location ranging from Diss in Norfolk to Oakely in Essex. However, she did live in Hadleigh for a while, where all her children were born.

Several shops on the west side of High Street are accessed by one or two steps down from the street, a clue to their medieval origin. One such is now Boots the Chemist at No.91. The building was originally ‘Mansion House’ but in 1921, the ground floor was divided into three retail areas, with chemist Frederick Forrester in the northern portion and the fruit shop and tearooms of the Pickess family on the corner of Pound Lane. The story of the building is held in its time deeds, which were kindly loaned by the late Colin Bull.

All these and other articles in this issue are well illustrated with old and modern photographs. If you would like to share your memories of the town and its surrounding countryside, please contact the Editor: Sue Andrews, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP7 7BG (01449 740673).

Issue 36 is on sale at Avis the Newsagent, Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, price £3.

Following up on the incredible demand for the most recent member of our team, Ashleigh, she will be offering two more amazing value for money deals until 31st October 2016. Ashleigh is very highly trained and skilled in the art of colour and has achieved a level 3 diploma, with distinction from Toni and Guy.

OFFER ONE: A full head of highlights with a cut and blow dry for £70. This service usually costs £85 and we are also including a free conditioning treatment.

Good Quality Care at a Fair Price Residential, Dementia and Respite Care

An Auctioneer’s Lot. Trash or treasure, the ability to distinguish one from another and then find a willing buyer for both, that is the skill and challenge. Auctioneer, Ed Crichton, is past master at this having spent many years in the business and now as Fine Art Manager with Lacy, Scott and Knight. Ed’s talk was both informative and entertaining with plenty of humorous anecdotes about his family and the business.

This was a perfect introduction to the follow up visit on LSK’s next viewing day at their auction house Ed Crichton in the Auction Room in Bury St Edmunds.

Visit to Lacy, Scott and Knight. Two large rooms were prepared for the public to view furniture and items in their ‘general sale’. It was overwhelming to see the volume of knicks knacks, memorabilia, toys and object d’art prepared for the sale the following day. Ed assured his audience that most of the ‘job lots’ would be bought and taken away by the end of the sale. He had selected several items of particular interest to compare their quality and possible value.

It was not always obvious as, like everything else, the trade also has fashions and trends. A fascinating place to visit and many members vowed to return as bidders and or buyers.

The Gentle Ramblers. Walkers thoroughly enjoyed their ramble in fine walking weather along the footpaths in the Manningtree/Mistley area. An unexpected bonus was a refreshing cuppa at the Mistley Tea House with its wonderful views over the River Stour. Our thanks to Sue Hughes and Kathy Carr for masterminding the morning.

Wingfield College Guided Tour.

The visit started in the impressive surroundings of Wingfield Church.

It was here that tour guide, Peter Bloore, gave the large group-a lively explanation of the influential families connected to the Church and the College next door. As Peter lives at Wingfield College with his partner Jane and their three children, members had the privilege of viewing most of the their unique home with him. From Peter Bloore in Wingfield Church the artificial Georgian facade to the genuine 14th century wooden bedroom floor the visitors saw them all. Only the blonde haired resident ghost failed to appear. After such a wealth of living history, the group were happy to relax in their shady garden with a cup of tea and some of Jane’s delicious homemade cakes.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre What a joy its been to see our riders and helpers back ‘in harness’ for the Autumn Term. First of all, the Centre had its annual spring clean so all the spiders and flies had to move out. Then there was the Sponsored Long Distance Ride in Mid September, which took lots of preparation work and was a great success. (It’s the only time Babs and I feel a bit jealous since we can’t join in!) All the horses were primped and permed ready to meet their equine visitors on the day; the riders who came from far and near helped us raise nearly £3,000 for the Centre, which is fantastic! Thank you everyone.

My big chestnut friend Rocky was retired this summer and Lyn is trying to track down his replacement. We have some smaller additions to the herd and they have settled in brilliantly. My photos show Bell being held by Jan in the yard and Cindy multi-tasking in the back paddock. If any of my readers would like to sponsor one of theses lovely newcomers please call our Auntie Di on 01473 658 552, or but better still, contact the Centre and pay us all a visit!

With 10 horses and ponies on our books we are always on the look out for help with their care, however little or much can be offered. Then there is a big need for volunteers to help with the riding therapy itself. Our helpers give anything from a couple of hours once a week to whole days, depending on their other commitments. We love seeing new faces being added to the team here, equine or human!

When I write again we shall have had half term; I must be getting old to find the time flying so fast these days. Have a good time folks!

Why should you make a Will?

Making a will is something that is easily put off. Many people do not like to look ahead to their death, however, making a will is the only way to ensure that your assets go to those people or organisations that you would like to benefit from them.

Anyone over the age of 18 and of sound mind can make a will. People who do not have the necessary mental capacity to make a will can be helped by the Court of Protection, who may approve the making of a will for the incapacitated person. The process of gaining the Court’s approval is extremely complex, and very costly, so it is always a good idea to complete your will at a point in your life where there are no issues or concerns about capacity.

When you make a will, the first decision you will need to make is who you would like to act as your executor(s). Executors are those people who step into your shoes, in a legal sense, after your death, and are responsible for collecting in your assets, paying all your debts and ensuring that those people mentioned in the will receive what is due to them. It is always sensible to appoint someone for this role that you trust, as it can be both a timeconsuming and complicated process, depending on your affairs. They can be people who are also beneficiaries under the will. Executors are always able to appoint solicitors to do the legal work for them and the costs of doing this will be paid for by your estate and not by your executor(s) personally.

It used to be common for wills to include details about funerals, whether you wish to be buried or cremated. However, it is less common these days to leave specific details in the will itself. These are best set out in a separate list or letter to your family so they know precisely what your wishes are. If you were to include them in a will they would not be legally binding, so if you were to change your mind it would not require an alteration to the will.

It is important to ensure that a will is valid. In making a will you have given thought to where you would like your assets to end up. If the will itself is not valid then it is possible that the assets will be distributed differently and as this is only known after you have died you would have no further control over this.

This would mean that loved ones might find themselves not benefitting as you intended.

A valid will must be in writing and appoint at least one Executor. It needs to dispose of your belongings and be signed by the person making the will (or on their behalf in his or her presence). It has to be signed in the presence of two witnesses (not before) and those witnesses must also sign the will. Ensuring that wills are properly signed is vital to make sure that the will is validly executed. A beneficiary under the will cannot act as a witness and neither should their spouses or other family members. If they do, the rest if the will would still be valid but that witness would cease to be a beneficiary and any clause leaving a gift to them would be struck out.

If you do not make a will, your property and possessions will pass under the Intestacy Rules. These set out who should inherit and these will, in the vast majority of cases, be members of your family – sometimes very distant members! Step-relatives, such as step-children, are never included. If you wish for friends or organisations such as a charity to benefit from your estate, then these wishes have to be included in a will.

Zor Boutique at Kersey Mill Where has the time gone I can’t believe that Zor Boutique will soon be coming into its second year of trading. (Time does fly when you’re having fun) As a lot of people know we started off doing certain items pre-loved but now we are exclusively selling all new items including clothing, handbags, jewellery and many other accessories. Branching out and growing daily as a stylish boutique doing casual and smart wear.

We now stock a selection of different ranges to suit everyone. One of our favourites is Jay Ley, specialising in ponchos, gillets and capes featuring real and faux fur, which our valued customers love. We are also now proud stockists of Reeves and Reeves sterling silver jewellery which are proving very popular for gifts as they come beautifully boxed.

We like to think we are different by offering many services including jewellery making and repairs. We are more than happy to make items to contrast with an existing outfit or even repair those old time favourites. (which we all have) Even though the weather is still warm at the moment we will be getting thick knits and layered items in within the next few weeks, as undoubtedly the weather will change (as we live in lovely sunny Suffolk – sorry).

We have added a new member of staff to our team! His name is Riley and he is a 16 week old Springer Spaniel. He is polite, well mannered and very helpful. He does love a good cuddle and play with the customers when he’s not snoring.

Orchard Barn Orchard Barn Environmental Education is about to celebrate its 9th birthday. Not only is this a cause of celebration (we’ve got that covered, see http://www.orchardbarn.org.uk/birthdaycelebration.html ) but also a chance to look back at achievements.

In the early days the Barn was a neglected wreck, a decaying frame with a shallow tin roof. The timber frame was repaired, the roof timbers restored to their original pitch and covered with 20,000 hand crafted oak shingles. The tool shed and volunteer rest room have been added, both using traditional materials and building techniques. Thanks to Lottery funding there is now a disabled parking area and boardwalk to the loos. The large pond has been dredged and many ‘goodies’ raised from its depths.

The garden, once a mass of nettles, is now producing vegetables from several Hugelkultur beds. It is watered using rainwater harvested from the roof of the barn. Fruit trees in the orchard have been pruned and more planted.

But it’s not only the site that has developed, many volunteers and students on courses have developed new skills and links have been made to other organisations, not least of which is the 200 acre wood near Hadleigh where most of the building timber is grown.

Want to get involved? Tuesday is gardening, Wednesday site maintenance, Thursday green woodworking and we’re planning monthly Saturday sessions for gardening and site maintenance.

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

We have to resort to using large amounts of washing powder, conditioner, extra salts in the dish washer and expensive bathroom cleaning products to overcome the dreaded scale.

In my professional capacity I’ve replaced countless appliances that should have had a longer service life. Scale blocks water ways in boilers and hot water pipes. Heating elements in hot water cylinders and electric showers get encrusted and fail.

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

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

New classes arriving during November in a pool near you!

Children across South Suffolk and North Essex are currently enjoying their journey with Puddle Ducks which is a baby, toddler and pre-school swim school delivered in a variety of lovely warm pools.

Children can have lessons from a few days to 4 years old and have fun while they learn to swim in a safe, encouraging environment.

Puddle Ducks classes, which last 30 minutes, will teach activities including swimming, submersion, floating, songs and games. Each session will incorporate rhyme, music and movement. Although fun is at their heart, Puddle Ducks classes are about much more than this. The classes revolve around bonding and play where children don’t realise they’re learning to swim and are acquiring skills that could save their lives.

It’s never too early to introduce your baby to the joys of being in the water, as long as you do it in a loving, caring and safety-conscious manner. Your child will learn to not only enjoy, but also respect the water, this has to be one of the most important gifts you can them.

We are very pleased to announce we have a new pool in Monks Eleigh. We are starting lessons there on Tuesday mornings from November. It’s lovely and warm, has parking on-site and changing rooms at the venue. It even has a coffee machine! Classes available from a few weeks old!

Oh yes it is…It’s Cinderella in Wonderland Hadleigh High School are preparing for a new pantomime for the New Year. It is an original script written by Head of Music, Mr Betts. The pantomime is called ‘Cinderella in Wonderland’. This will be a mash up of Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland. It will be performed in February in 2017.

Mr Betts said, ‘We were overwhelmed by the amount of talent that auditioned, ranging from Years 7-11.’

We heard from 3 pupils who had call-backs for the part of Cinderella. Eliza Bennett, who took the part of Jazmin from last year’s production, Aladdin. She told us, ‘There were a lot of good auditions and I am very excited for how it will turn out.’

We also spoke to Bethany Hudson who was part of the chorus in last year’s production. She said, ‘It is going to be really fun and lots of people are going to get involved. I hope I’ll get Cinderella because I tried really hard.’

Finally, we interviewed Megan Barlow who took part in H-Factor last year. She said, ‘It will be interesting who will go for the part and I am excited to see who will get it.’

Furthermore, Mr Betts has informed us that he has plans to build an outside performing space to hold more events, such as HadFest. Therefore, keep your eyes peeled for more fundraising events, and we hope to see you at our original, new pantomime in February.

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Scheme Some Year 10 students have started to work towards their DofE Bronze award.

They are excited and ready to complete three areas which are, volunteering, physical recreation and skill. As well as this, they have to plan an expedition which they will complete in the Sizewell area. Students are volunteering in many charities and organisations in the local area.

We interviewed Isla Romer-Lee, a Year 10 student, of her experience so far, ‘I started my volunteering in July at Sesaw Animal Centre in Leavenheath and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far’.

We also asked Michael Anthony, another Year 10 student, why he was partaking in the DofE scheme. ‘I really wanted to do it because I’m a very adventurous and enthusiastic person and I think it will open up lots of opportunities for me’.

Participants will continue this scheme throughout the year and will have an opportunity to complete the silver award in Year 11.

The Success of #HadFest 2016 Last year our Year 10s were set the task of creating a fund raising event which was open to the people of Hadleigh and the local community. Working together over many months the students created #HadFest, a family friendly festival, which took place at the end of last term. The festival presented an ideal opportunity for our young musicians in Hadleigh High School to perform to the public, as well as some outside bands. Together with the main stage, the students also prepared stalls, competitions, a BBQ and many other concession stalls.

Through their productiveness and determination they raised an astounding profit of £1,216 all in a day’s work. At the start of the development the pupils decided to give half their profits to Macmillan Cancer Support and the other half to projects in school that would aid the development of our students’ wellbeing. In order to make the decision on which ventures the pupils will

support, they have asked staff to submit bids outlining the type of learning resources they would like to secure and how this will aid students in the future.

Once all the bids have been received, Year 11 will vote on which projects they wish to support.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Year 11 and thank everyone in the school and local community who supported this event.

Shakespeare Schools Festival Hadleigh High School students are currently participating in the Shakespeare Schools’ Festival. They will be performing Julius Caesar. The cast are underway with rehearsals and will be attending workshops at Dance East in Ipswich.

The Shakespeare Schools Festival is the largest youth drama festival in the UK. Schools who take part will perform half-hour versions of Shakespeare plays in local theatres around the country. Since it started in 2000, it has worked with 230,000 young people. This year, over 1000 schools will perform in 138 theatres nationwide.

Mr Pryke, an English and Drama teacher at Hadleigh High, spoke to us about the upcoming event: ‘Everyone taking part is very excited’ and went on to thank the Rosa Simon Music Fund and Hadleigh Thrift Shop for their support.

Strive to be the change…

In our School, there’s a club called ‘Switch Forum’, ‘We strive to be the change’ says one member. It began a year ago and since then they have organised serval things, such as a visit from the local MP (James Cartlidge), a visit from a charity (Chrissy and Friends). Switch Forum involved our school in a project to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle of the Somme, including a historical visit to France and the site of the battle of the Somme.

Their plans for this year include: making a link with the school in Hadleigh’s twin town, Schoorl; going on a trip to the Houses of Parliament and fund raising. Switch Forum also submitted an application to do a google expedition.

Google Expeditions is a virtual reality field trip to almost anywhere. “From Machu Picchu to Antarctica to the International Space Station - where will you take your class?”

They are hoping to get more students interested in making a difference to the local and wider community.

Trip to British Airways Headquarters at Heathrow Airport

During July, a group of our students visited British Airways HQ in Heathrow to learn more about the world-wide company. We learnt about the importance of language learning and saw what it would be like to be a member of the cabin crew. After that, we were given a talk about the history of some of the planes that used to be in service and were even taught about some of the uniform changes. During the day we learnt lots of interesting facts and learnt more about what it would be like to work for British Airways. Overall, the day was really fun and enjoyable.

Did You Know?

Did You Know?

Hadleigh Neighbourhood Plan Update ‘What kind of housing would you like to see in Hadleigh?’ was one of the questions you might have been asked in our recent housing survey when we ‘popped up’ around the town this summer. We collected comments from shoppers in the Co-op and in Morrisons, and at the monthly market in St. Mary’s Church. We also gathered your views other topics: the High Street, open spaces, the town’s heritage, tourism and parking.

The Government has just introduced a new Neighbourhood Planning Bill which clearly puts power in the hands of local people to decide where development gets built. The Bill will strengthen the neighbourhood planning process, so it’s important for you to have your say on the type of housing you would like to see in Hadleigh and where any new development is located. It’s your chance to shape Hadleigh’s future in a positive way.

We would still like to hear from you, on our Facebook page or email us at hadleighneighbourhoodplan@gmail.com. We are about to start producing the very first draft of our plan, and you can follow our progress on our website at www.hadleighnp.onesuffolk.net

Notes of Proposals/Decisions/Actions Main Agenda item: Introducing the Corn Exchange Business Centre Ltd Updates: TIDY TOWN Volunteers: We have established sixteen routes, each taking approximately one and a half hours, and cover most of Hadleigh. As we acquire more volunteers it is hoped they will all be covered weekly. There are now 70 shops and businesses displaying the Tidy Town Certificate, pledging to keep their own area clean. Our goal is to win the title of the cleanest town in Suffolk! Volunteers continue to enjoy getting together and making a difference. Anita Young Co-ordinator - ourtidytown@gmail.com.

Hadleigh Business Breakfast Forum: Feedback from the second BBF on 21st September will be provided at the next St Grp meeting. For more information contact Jonathan Moore jmoore.suffolk@yahoo.co.uk VISIT HADLEIGH Website: Further discussion around the costs to keep the website running across the year, with an expectation from businesses that they will be able to contribute to support running costs. The group consensus was that there should be a ‘standard’ contribution from each business – and any businesses that did not wish to contribute could be listed on the website, but without any profile or photo. For the calendar, we can include any event or activity that would also be open to visitors. Please contact: stuart@thegableshadleigh.co.uk A Cycling Friendly Town: Cycling is now the third most popular sport, attracting cyclists can be an economic boost to communities, especially rural towns. The Hadleigh Cycling Club have been invited to the next meeting.

Pop Up VISITOR INFORMATION: The Visit England Guidelines for Tourist Information providers states that ideally the provision should be”close to transport connections and parking facilities.”Magdalen Road Bus Station and car park the most appropriate to provide for the most visitors, before they disperse in the town. Total: 116 enquiries. Assuming two or more people per enquiry, approximately 250 visitors over four days. Many questions were practical and addressed immediate needs, best answered face to face. A full report of the 4 day trial available from Jane Snowdon.

Presentation by Natalie Stallwood, Director - Corn Exchange Business Centre Ltd Natalie is one of 3 family members whose company recently purchased the Corn Exchange, and are currently in the process of refurbishing this ready to lease office space out to local businesses. Accelerate Facilities Solutions are taking out a 5 year lease for the 1st floor to operate their ‘Head Office’ base from. Other businesses are showing an interest, and the ground floor configuration is flexible enough depending on who wishes to lease the space, and the number of staff to be housed. Natalie assured everyone that the Corn Exchange was of interest because it is an historic building and necessary work is being undertaken sympathetically.

Main Agenda item for next meeting: Public Amenities for residents and visitors NEXT MEETING: 3rd October 4.15pm - 6.00pm at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure in the Social Room If you would like to attend the meeting or have suggestions for agenda items please email the Chairman snowdonjane@hotmail.co.uk

SKy Watch

by Neil Norman

How far have Radio Waves travelled from Earth Since last month a Planet has been discovered orbiting the nearest Star to our Sun. Proxima Centauras, a red dwarf that lies just 4.25 light years away.

Just how this pans out we must wait. Also this past month a radio signal was picked up from space - scientists got excited, turned out to be a microwave oven! I kid you not. And just a few weeks ago another signal was detected, Lots of excitement again and the cause was later not found to be aliens but a top secret Russian Military Satellite. It was something the Russians didn't want us to find out, but there you go. The secret things in space would turn your hair white, but that's another story for anther article.

But just how far have our radio signals travelled though space? The Earth has an expanding 'bubble' of man-made radio signals expanding outward at the speed of Light and first were sent in the 1890's. In 1900, Reginald Fessenden made the first voice transmission over the airwaves. In 1901 Guglielmo Marconi made the first ever transatlantic radio broadcast.

So, that means at 116 Light years away from Earth - the edge of a radio ‘sphere’ which contains many star systems- our very first radio broadcasts are beginning to arrive. At 74 Light years away, television signals are being introduced. A star system 50 Light years away have just heard that England have won the World Cup. But before we get too carried away, it doesn't quite work like that. Its extremely unlikely that aliens would be watching. This is thanks to the inverse square law. In layman's term, its a form of signal degradation.

Imagine dropping a stone in the river, the ripples spread out over distance thanks to the exponentially larger area they must encompass. This area can be calculated by multiplying length times width which is why we measure it in square units - square centimetres, square miles etc. This means that the further away from the source, the more square units of area a signal has to travel.

Another way of putting it is that the strength of a radio signal will only be 1/4 as great once you are twice the distance from the source. At 10x the distance, the strength of the signal would only be 1/100 as great. So, this means because of this inverse law, all our radio waves become indistinguishable from 'static' noise (as in when you tune - in a radio) around a few light years from Earth. An analogy of this would be a alien civilisation only a couple of hundred Light years away, trying to listen to our broadcasts would be like trying to detect the small ripple from a pebble dropped into the pacific ocean off the coast in California - from Japan. But we can amplify the signals to send into space and the irony is, instead of the Earth appearing like a cosmic ‘lighthouse’ in space like we once were, due to the digital age, our signals have declined by over 70% compared to the 1980's - 1990's.

On that note, I'll leave you to ponder that. Until next month, clear skies.

Hadleigh and District Gardening Club Last month we enjoyed a talk by Matt Long (of Monks Eleigh) who took us through bulb planting for Spring colour. All very timely given it’s that time of year again to, if you have not started already, be thinking about starting the bulb planting process. As I write though, a bit more rain is needed to get them in the ground- I have found that a good quality stainless steel long-handled bulb planting tool is an excellent investment.

Matt’s knowledge of the bulb world is impressive and we all learned a great deal about the different varieties on offer, taking note of many keys tips for optimum results, such as the planting depth needed (deep planting for tulips should extend their useful life) and flowering times to prolong the colour show.

We also learned that the bulb world is not immune to crime – some rare bulbs can be quite valuable (costing up to £1,000 or more each) and this can attract unwanted interest!

Riverside bulbs have a great range on offer and their website is worth a visit as it helpfully provides pictures of the flowering result you should expect to see, together with essential information on flowering times and planting depth.

Visit www.riversidebulbs.co.uk or call Matt and his team on 01449 741551.

September’s competition was for the largest sunflower, the winner being an American giant variety measuring 30cms in diameter. This month’s photo shows the first three prize winners.

Next meeting – Monday October 10th Continuing the planning theme for next year, at our October meeting we will be welcoming Rob Sheriff who is a renowned expert on dahlias. Why not come and join us to find out more about these stunningly colourful plants, and at about this time next year you could then be seeing the results of your new found knowledge! As usual our meeting is at the Hadleigh Town Hall starting at 7.30pm – refreshments included in the £3 entry fee (£1 for members). We hope to see you there.

Down to Earth ...with Dave What a glorious September we are having so far this year, but to be honest, from a gardening point of view we really could do with some rain. The very dry weather has brought an early end to a lot of the veg on the allotment. The runner beans and the climbing French beans are all but finished, some pods will be left on the plants to dry off and make seed for next year. Only save the longest and fattest, you don’t need many. When they have completely dried off use only the best pods. Save the seeds in brown paper envelopes and store them somewhere cool, preferably in a tin box.

Beans and peas are the only seed that I save, most other seed is best bought fresh every year. This is particularly true with potatoes as disease such as blight is very easily carried over from year to year. The courgettes are still cropping and are one of the few plants that get a regular watering.

A bonus this year has been the sunflowers, with the gladioli more or less finished, the vase in the fireplace is now filled with sunflowers, quite impressive, so next year more will be grown for cutting and any that go over will be left on the plants for the birds to feed on. Next year I am looking to grow more flowers to pick for indoors with one possibility being dahlias. Our speaker at the garden club in October is Rob Sheriff, he is going to talk about dahlias, with luck I can pick up some tips on the best ones to grow on the allotment, it is not a flower I have much experience of. The idea is that they could follow on from the daffodils, gladioli and now sunflowers. I have previously been known to say that if you can’t eat it I don’t grow it but as you get older times and ideas change.

Suffolk really is full of wonderful gardens to visit. The latest we have been to is Fullers Mill Garden at West Stow near Bury St Edmunds. This is an enchanting seven acre garden on the banks of the river Lark. The founder Bernard Tickner has spent over fifty years designing and building this very interesting garden. The river Lark runs right through the gardens with a footbridge over it at what was once a lock. Prior to 1900 the river was navigable with over 20 locks and was used to transport mainly coal to Bury St Edmunds from the North Sea, with return loads of corn. Two areas of the garden are called The Quandries, this came about because Bernard and his late wife could not decide on a name for them so they became The Quandries. Even though he is in his nineties he took time to chat to us all, making sure we had a very enjoyable visit, we finished up with tea on the lawn, surrounded by very friendly bantam chickens. The garden is open from April to September on various afternoons. Put it on your list of must visit places.

That’s all for this time, Dave

I received an unsolicited telephone call and was told that the Govt. was offering, in the interests of thermal efficiency, a grant of £200 towards each window replaced and that a voucher, valid for two years, would be left with me and could be used with any appropriate supplier. My windows, supplied by Hadleigh Glass 18yrs ago, have been perfectly satisfactory but on some the veneer has now begun to peel, so I agreed to see the callers' rep.

When he arrived, after a long sales spiel, he quoted me a base price of £9614 to replace 5 windows, reduced by £2000. The "Government grant" and the transferability was a misunderstanding on the part of the person who called me. Further, if I agreed to display their Board for 8 weeks and allow photography a further £839 would be deducted. When I declined he called his office and made a better offer and as I didn't bite he called again and the Office reduced the price to £4000. Hadleigh Glass have, this morning, quoted me a far cheaper price.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 Our canine mascot is preparing to meet his Public at our Autumn Fair (report next month) so it’s me, Ollie, here to give you the feline point of view. For instance, last month Kenneth suggested us cats don’t notice the volunteers, but we miss nothing! Whilst he scuttles around below, from the hay loft I observe the dog walkers; some dragged by their eager charges, others gently coaxing new arrivals for their morning constitutional.

Sad mutterings from the kitchen about unhappy Victor, a fellow black cat who has been with us for months. Poor lad just needs someone to care for him and his sore eyes. Now they are talking about Andy, the beautiful grey cat who likes humans and dogs, not his own kind!

As I patrol my estate I find the fundraisers sorting books, pictures, vinyl records and cameras for a front garden sale, 10-1pm on 1st and 2nd October. Other books are kept for the “Colne Valley Railway at War” event, Castle Hedingham, CO9 3DZ, 10.30-5pm on 9th October. The ladies discuss the Crafts and animals they are taking to meet Gladwell customers on 22nd October at Copdock Mill, Old London Road, Ipswich, IP8 3LP. Kenneth’s friends from Betty’s Knitters and Stitchers will also be there. After that, lots of lovely items will go to the big Christmas Fair at the Old School, Long Melford on 20th November.

As a car arrives with more donated items from a kind supporter I disappear, preferring to remain incognito, unlike Kenneth. Mind you, the Chihuahua is doing a good job but don’t tell him I said so. His head would not fit into his igloo bed if he heard praise from me, Ollie (the Black) Cat. Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare, Stoke Road, Leavenheath CO6 4PP.

The Weather Turns

LIGHTS OUT -

GREAT WAR NEWS OCTOBER 2016

(as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day) Wed 4 Oct A large number of munition workers from a distance visited Hadleigh during holidays last week. They arrived in brakes each day and while some went further on, the majority remained in the town. The party which came on Saturday practically spent the day here.

Wed 4 Oct Great sympathy is felt for Henry Ward of the 16th Lancers in his bereavement. When the sad news reached him (in France) of the serious condition of his wife he could not get away and after he was granted leave to attend the funeral he arrived too late. It took him 39 hours to get to Havre, a distance of 95 miles. Then the crossing was delayed through the dislocation of the boat service and this caused him to lose his train connections on this side of the water.

Wed 18 Oct Last Sunday afternoon the Hadleigh and Bildeston platoon of the Volunteer Corps (Home Guard) marched direct from their respective headquarters to Semer where they met and took up position for the purpose of joint Company drill under Capt H W F Grimwade, Commandant. Next Sunday the Suffolk Volunteer Regiments to be inspected by General Lord French at Ipswich.

Wed 18 Oct An old Hadleigh boy belonging to the Rifle Brigade writes - “We have just come out of the line after pushing Fritz back a couple of miles or so.

We have done splendidly and made a name for ourselves. It is a fine sight to see Fritz running away as fast as his legs could carry him. I reckon we have them well beaten now”. Another Hadleigh boy gives a graphic description of the luxuriousness of the German underground fortifications on the Somme “Forty five steps down and about 50 feet below the surface you find an eight roomed tenement perfectly furnished. The floors have Turkey carpets. The rooms are beautifully lit with electric lights, have a well-furnished library, French and German furniture that was a dream”.

MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 11th August 2016 was confirmed as a correct record and signed.

MATTERS ARISING Matters Arising Councillor Cook was disappointed that the garage had not been removed from the rear of the Royal Bengal Restaurant as Babergh District Council had confirmed that this should have been removed by the end of August.

It was agreed that another e.mail be sent to Simon Bailey requesting an update on the situation. Councillor Cook reported the e.mail received from Babergh District Councillor Campbell advising that an enforcement officer was investigating work carried out on a property on Place Farm Close and the speed at which the District Council had reacted to this complaint.

Any Other Business Councillors Monks raised the matter of the bin in the Market Place which had now been moved next to the Town Council Notice Board.

She was advised that Babergh District Council had been e.mailed requesting that the bin be moved and asking why it had been moved from its position by Ladbrookes where it had stood for many years. She was also advised that planning permission is not required for the siting of waste bins as they are not permanent features.

Councillor Byrne asked that the issue of the stream running from Maiden Way and Ravens Way be brought to the attention of the District Councillors at the next Town Council Meeting.

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/16/00760/FUL Former Brett Works and 109 High Street.

The site of this early Saxon Manor should be worthy of a serious archaeological investigation ii) Contamination of the Brett Works ground, presumably from the pits used for

tanning/dying. Although land contamination identified (Crossfield report) concerns that remedial action is not adequate. E.g. will people in 20 years’ time still be aware of contamination? iii) Properties in the flood plain. Are the remedial actions adequate? iv) Parking – appears to be less places than Suffolk County Council recommend – the residents are active elderly. v) Concerns about traffic access and flow in the High Street vi) The height and design of the pretend Malting - Oast sections as high as the Deanery Tower. The roof line will be very obvious in the Church Yard area, particularly in winter, also very obtrusive from view points on the West side of the river. vii) Bridge over river and public footpath – these are in the drawings but appear not to be part of the application, the access to the site appears to be ‘private’.

Also the houses and flats are divided from the open area by a 1.8 metre fence, causing a tunnelling affect. Potential for bridge to cause damage to river bank viii) No provision for social housing. ix) Increase demand on the sewage works and concern about rain water and flood drainage x) Who will maintain the public open space area? xi) The demands put on the Health Centre from an ageing population. xii) Whilst a footbridge across the river has been included in the new site plan there are no details of design or construction but indications this will be dealt with afterwards thereby allowing no statutory or public consultees the opportunity to comment xiii) The history has wholly incorrect statements in Sections 3, 9 and 13 – these will be supplied on request xiv) Parking remains insufficient for the properties allowing only half a space per household which is totally inappropriate. Furthermore it states that parking will be allowed on the access road but there is no indication where or how this will be allowed xv) Within the application there is no detail of who or how the public open space will be maintained given it is outside the fencing of the development xvi) Babergh’s own Strategic Housing Officer has clearly stated valid reasons why this development should not proceed with regard to affordable and social housing.

Hadleigh Town Council fully support the officers decision on this report whereby the developers make a payment in lieu to the District Council. These comments were submitted on the 1st July 2016 and 12th August 2016. Hadleigh Town Council Planning Committee would also make a request that a full archaeological dig be carried out. The Committee reiterated that in principle they supported the application for the use of the site but could not approve it wholly due to the numerous concerns expressed.

Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Councillor Cook reported on how disappointed she was that the organiser of the relaunched Hadleigh Market had refused the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group a space on the 2nd September to carry out a housing survey only to find that a Tourist Visitor Point attended the relaunch with approval being given by Babergh District Council.

ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS Councillor Young reiterated her concerns she had raised during the discussion on planning application B/16/00760/FUL Former Brett Works and 109 High Street – over flooding issues and requested that the committee bear this in mind when dealing with planning applications near water.

Councillor Shearly-Sanders advised members of the Babergh Association of Town and Parish Council meeting to be held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday,

20th September 2016 at 7.30pm.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.20pm.

Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk Minutes of the Extra Meeting of the Council held on the 11th August 2016 Present: Councillors: Sheldrick (Town Mayor), Angland, Byrne, Cook, Free, Haylock, Matthews, Shearly-Sanders, Whiting, Wilson, Wiltshire and Young.

Councillor Matthews arrived late but attended and voted on the third proposal for engaging professional legal advice only.

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Councillors Fraser, Monks and Haines. These apologies were accepted.

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest.

MILLFIELD Councillor Shearly-Sanders had produced a report for Councillors following a meeting held with Shared Access. Following a lengthy discussion Councillor Cook proposed, seconded by Councillor Byrne, that, subject to agreeing final details the current lease with the Football Club be surrendered and a new twenty-five year lease be produced with Hadleigh United Football Club.

Voting was unanimous. It was unanimously agreed that the Rent agreement remains unchanged with three yearly rent reviews carried out. The terms of the rent reviews would be discussed with the Club. Items that need to be incorporated in the agreement included a Use Clause which would extend the use of the ground to include a telecommunication facility; an underlease would be granted to Shared Access by Hadleigh Utd FC. Councillor Matthews arrived at this point.

The monopole would be defined as a landlord fixture. Agreement would allow for two operators only to use the facility – should any other operators show interest in the mast the agreement would need to be renegotiated. Any alterations outside the approved planning application must be put before Hadleigh Town Council.

A Repairing Covenant will need to be included in the new lease. The Club would then be able to include this Covenant in their underlease to Shared Access thereby ensuring Shared Access would need to carry out the works. Once the lease is agreed the Club can continue to work with Shared Access for the lights to be put in place at the end of the Season. Councillor Cook proposed the engagement of professional legal services to progress the project along the terms outlined at this meeting. This was seconded and agreed unanimously.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 7.34pm Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

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

If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet.

However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940.

Parish Council The main matters dealt with during the Parish Council meeting of 24 August were: • The Chairman thanked all members of the PC for attending training sessions on the previous four Monday evenings, delivered by SALC; these had been very useful.

• Public Forum Comments had been received from some parishioners that the garden of the Marquis of Cornwallis was now extremely exposed, in an area termed as ‘open countryside’. It was hoped that the intention was still to landscape the site in order to hide the car park etc, as the view from Lower Layham had been spoilt.

Floodlights had been in place for the last two nights, although this may have been for security reasons. The Chairman confirmed that the PC would continue to keep a watching brief on the site.

A parishioner said she was appalled at the amount of litter she collected along the way as she walked from Layham to Hadleigh. The Chairman said that litter collection was not Babergh’s responsibility, but the PC organised an annual litter pick and was currently investigating the possibility of employing a Village Keeper. Growth of vegetation across the footpath was also an issue and Councillor Jones said he would raise this issue with the Cabinet Member for Highways.

• County Council report Councillor Jones commented on the improvement in ‘A’ Level results for the county; GCSE results were due on 25 August. Schools had now changed the emphasis on reporting and there would shortly be a briefing in the EADT. The Chairman commented on the article in a recent issue of the EADT in which SCC’s Vice-Chairman had suggested parish councils could do more to deal with grass cutting, potholes etc. In fact, many parish councils were already carrying out some of this work, but guidelines were required – for instance, it was not clear whether members were covered by insurance etc. Councillor Jones said he would try to get some clarity on this. The Chairman also said that, if parish councils were going to be expected to do more, there should be some funding available to enable them to do so.

• Phonebox/defibrillator in Upper Layham The inside of the phone box had now been painted and the back panel would be installed shortly, hopefully by mid September.

• Green Team The suggestion of the installation of gates from the playing field into the conservation area had been discussed with member of the Playing Field Committee and had met with mixed reactions; it would be discussed formally at the next meeting of the Committee in September. It was hoped recruit more volunteers to the Green Team.

• Priorities for 2016/17 It was agreed that one of the key priorities should be to try and prevent more accidents happening, particularly through Upper Layham. The Chairman said both councillors and the public were keen to see a reduction in speed and the

PC might want to consider spending some money on signs. Councillor Jones would provide more information on this. Other priorities included accident prevention, more defibrillators, looking at the possibility of appointing a Village Keeper, Dog Watch and compiling a list of local contractors for the website.

There would be a further discussion on priorities at the September meeting, before any firm decisions were made.

• Gardener’s Close It was agreed that the Clerk should write to Flagship to ask whether the shrub bed in Gardener’s Close could be replanted, and the small shrub beds in front of the properties either replanted or revived.

Training for Parish Councillors and Parish Clerk The responsibilities of parish councils are increasing all the time. Mindful that they need to be as well informed as possible all eight councillors and the Clerk attended four evening training sessions during August. The programme was delivered by Rosemary Cochrane on behalf of the Suffolk Association of Local Councils. The host was Steve Laing who offered the use of the dining room at the Queen’s Head as a venue.

The photograph below is published again to remind you who are your representatives on the Parish Council.

They are – from left to right.

Back Row: David Pratt, Michael Woods (present Chairman), John Curran, Stephen Laing.

Front Row: Jane Cryer (Clerk), Ron Gunn, Doreen Sillett, Sheila Roberts.

The Council meets every month – usually on the last Thursday. The agenda is published by Community e-mail and posted on the three ‘official’ notice boards (by the Queen’s Head, at top of Mill Lane and at the Recycling Centre).

The minutes are published on the village website.

A reminder that parishioners are welcome at any Parish Council meeting and may speak on any matter they wish to raise before the main business starts.

Merchant Navy Day Since 2000, Merchant Navy Day on 3 September has honoured the brave men and women who kept our island nation afloat during both World Wars, and celebrated our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers who are responsible for 95% of the UK's imports, including half the food we eat.

This year Seafarers UK campaigned for the Red Ensign - the UK Merchant Navy's official flag - to be flown on Saturday 3 September on public buildings and landmark flagstaffs across the UK. Our Parish Council decided to take part in view of the fact that there are several ex-merchant seamen living in the village.

John Cryer climbed the ladder in the church tower and raised the Red Ensign (or the Red Duster as it is affectionately known) which flew throughout the weekend of 3rd/4th September. He also provided the photograph.

Gleaning It is interesting walking across the newly harvested fields to see how many ears of grain are left on the ground after the machinery has departed.

Within the lifetimes of the older members of our community those valuable ears of grain would have been ‘gleaned’ from the fields, mainly by women and children, and used to feed hens, thicken soups or even to make bread.

This was a valuable source of food in the lean years immediately following the end of WW2. It may be a sign of our relative affluence that we no longer make arrangements to gather the fruits of the earth that are not economically viable for a farmer to collect but, nevertheless, have a value. I wonder how many of us get round to walking the footpaths and lanes at this time of year to collect wild fruits such as blackberries?

Layham Playgroup CIO We have been having lots of fun in our playgroup garden this month. We made kites to fly whilst it was windy and also used streamers and ribbons to watch the wind blow. We have also made very big bubbles using a builder’s tray and hoops!

Our AGM is being held on Wednesday 12th October at 7.30pm in Layham Village Hall. Please do come and support our village playgroup.

We have activities, games and afternoon tea planned for our Autumn Fun Afternoon on 5th November 2 – 4pm at the Village Hall. Tempest Photography will also be taking family groups and individual photos, for more details please contact playgroup on 07999866419 Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh and neighbouring villages.

Your October Films Friday 14th October at 7.30 pm

FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS (PG) Born in 1864 Foster Jenkins believed that she could sing. Throughout her life she became an amateur soprano mocked for her flamboyant performance costumes and notably poor singing ability. In this biopic, she is played by Meryl Streep, who has inherited the difficult task of doing something on screen very badly! Hugh Grant, as her husband, gives us one of the best films of his career. The result is an hilarious, inspiring tribute to a tone deaf soprano who managed to sell out Carnegie Hall!

Friday 28th October at 7.30 pm

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP(U) Jane Austen was credited with writing this comic novella around 1794. Lady Susan Vernon (played by Kate Beckinsale) visits the estate of her in laws at a time when the colourful rumours of her affairs were circulating in polite society. LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP hums along with ease, dispensing wit and charm that will delight all Austen fans. Kate Beckinsale is supported by a strong cast including Stephen Fry and Jemma Redgrave amongst many others and finally one must not forget the fabulous period costumes that form an essential part of the story!

Admission to our films is £ 3.50 for adults and £ 2.50 for accompanied children.

We hope you will enjoy our film presentations.

During both presentations we will be selling our ever popular refreshments – teas, coffee, fruit juice and choc ices – milk or plain.

At the end of the last rotary year in June there were rumours of closure. Members are pleased to say that these were unfounded and there is a plan for survival.

During the past years, attracting new members, both men and women, has been adversely affected by the perception that Rotary seeks a high commitment, is formal and selective in membership. This has put off many people whose lives in the 21st century do not allow the luxury of attending weekly meetings, dressing for the occasion etc.

This applies NO LONGER!! Rotary International has at last recognised that all this must change and many rules and regulations have been relaxed. Clubs now have the power to arrange their own operating structure to suit the needs of members. There is flexibility in meeting arrangements, attendance requirements and membership rules to help attract wider interest. Members may now give just as much time as they are able without worrying about commitment rules etc. Hadleigh Rotary Club is changing considerably commencing the 1st October. Meetings will reduce to twice a month at lunch time for moment and in Hadleigh, there will be no formal attendance rules - just attend when able - dress requirements will be completely relaxed.

Membership is open to anyone who would like to be involved in a club with both a social and charitable purpose. Help the local community - Help international causes and have FUN whilst doing so. The new arrangements will be trialled for a few months and changed if they do not suit the majority of members. This is a great opportunity to help shape the future of Rotary in Hadleigh.

In November there will be a drop in day at the British Legion and if you are interested and have a few minutes to spare at lunch or tea time please pop in to meet us and learn about Rotary over a drink and a bun.

News from Whatfield School Whatfield waved goodbye to our year 6 pupils before the Summer holidays, and we hear that they have made a great start at Hadleigh High School. One or two have popped back to see us, have reported how well things are going, and how much they are enjoying their new school.

Pupils from Whatfield CEVCP School have made a fantastic start back after the Summer holidays. The whole school have been following the theme of the Olympics, and what a fantastic time they have had watching the Olympian and Paralympian success! Pupils have been following the competitions, and thoroughly enjoyed making medals, designing opening ceremonies and participating in a wide range of sports.

During the Summer Term means time we held our traditional sports week. This was an opportunity for all the children to have a taste of a wide variety of different sports, and this year they included athletics, tennis, archery, fencing, bowling, cycling and parkour among many more.

A great favourite was carpet bowls and horse-riding, both activities provided courtesy of kind villagers who regularly support our school.

We have a lovely photo of the gymnastics team who reached the county finals, and achieved a fantastic bronze place. It just goes to show as we say about Whatfield CEVCP School, good things come in small packages!

We always have lots of exciting activities to look forward to, and as always, if you would like to visit us and have a look round our lovely school you are very welcome. Please do try to come to our Macmillan Coffee afternoon on the 30th September 2016, or telephone 01473 823309 or email whatfieldcps@talk21.com to make an arrangement to meet us.

Poetry Corner Goodbye to Summer The flowers have lost their first youthful blush, Blackberries adorn the bramble bush Along the country lane Whilst migrating birds prepare To fly south again Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

The orchards are laden with apples, pears and plums; Grain is safely stored in barns before the winter comes And a young lad gathers conkers And challenges his chums Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

The branches have lost Their tenacious grip upon the leaves As, silently, they flutter to the ground And every bush with flaming hues of red and gold abound: Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

A ghostly mist comes creeping with the dawn; The pearls of dew lay longer on the lawn.

And increasingly earlier, evenings cloak is drawn.

Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

The beach and bark are empty now, The children once more return to school.

Desolation settles on the faded deckchairs, The deserted ice-cream stall Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

The season’s drawing to an end Like the turning of a page.

We cannot detain her, try as we may, Autumn’s waiting in the wings to take centre-stage.

Time to kiss the summer goodbye.

Add meaning to your menu for Marie Curie - Get together to host a dinner party with a difference Dinner parties are a great way to share memorable moments with friends and family, and Marie Curie is calling on food fans in Suffolk to host a dinner party with a difference this October. The charity wants you to host a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dinner Down Memory Laneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and instead of asking guests to bring a bottle or a dessert, ask for a donation instead. In doing so, you will help support Marie Curie Nurses care for people living with a terminal illness, helping them spend quality time with their loved ones. Angela Bussey, Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie Suffolk, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all love getting together with friends and family, having fun and creating new memories - Dinner Down Memory Lane is all about doing just that.

Are you brave enough to take a dip in the cold North Sea on Christmas morning for your local hospice? Join hundreds of other supporters as they take a dip in the icy water on Christmas morning to raise vital funds for St Elizabeth Hospice.

Catherine Sheppard, St Elizabeth Hospice’s events and challenges fundraiser, said: “The Christmas Day Dip is in its 13th year and it’s still such a popular event, with around 400 people lining the beach each Christmas morning ready to take the icy plunge!

“There’s always such a great atmosphere at the event, not only with the hundreds of people taking part, but with the thousands who turn out to watch.

A lot of people do it in memory of their loved ones who were cared for by the hospice, and all the sponsorship money raised from the event goes towards improving life for local people living with a progressive illness.”

You can save £5 if you sign up with the early bird offer before 5pm on 31 October 2016, after this registration will be £10. Be part of the festive fun and sign up now at www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/dip St Elizabeth Hospice provides vital care and support to more than 2,000 patients and their families every year. It costs millions of pounds a year to run the hospice and they rely on fundraising events, donations and the income generated from its shops to meet the majority of these costs.

Healthwatch Suffolk calls for your stories of care in the county Healthwatch Suffolk has the power to shape, influence and improve local NHS and social care services in the county. It is independent from the NHS and social care, which means you can be honest when sharing your views.

It has launched a new campaign called “#NHSSelfieStars” for obtaining feedback from people about their use of local health and social care services.

It wants to celebrate what is good about services and highlight where things could be better.

The state of the current health and care economy means that it has never been more important to share your views about local services; even if you don’t think it will make a difference. The watchdog hopes that this campaign will encourage people to share their stories so that it can help health and social care professionals understand the views and experiences of people using their services and feed them into ongoing plans to change the way your services are delivered.

Healthwatch Suffolk is asking people to share a “selfie” and a story of NHS care in Suffolk so that it can highlight your experiences. All of the stories will be added to the growing volume of data the watchdog has already gathered from local people and used to hold services to account. You can share your selfie and story with Healthwatch Suffolk on Instagram (use #NHSSelfieStars) or by email to info@healthwatchsuffolk.co.uk.

It is always possible to share your experiences anonymously with Healthwatch Suffolk. You can visit www.healthwatchsuffolk.co.uk/services, where it is possible to rate and review your experience within any health or social care service in the county. Alternatively, please call 01449 703949 to speak with a member of the Healthwatch team.

Gaslight will now be on at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday 1st to Saturday 5th November at 7.45pm.

He has almost succeeded when help arrives in the person of former detective, Rough. Rough believes Manningham to be a thief and a murderer. Aided by Bella, Rough proves Manningham's true identity and Bella finally achieves a few moments of sweet revenge for the suffering inflicted on her. Gaslight is directed by Belinda Hasler from Braintree, who was responsible for the successful SDS production of Rumours last year, and it will be the perfect accompaniment to those cold November evenings as the nights draw in….

Stoke by Nayland’s men golfers have done the seemingly impossible by winning the Essex Golf Union Norman Plum Trophy for a second consecutive year. They travelled to play the Final, on Sunday 11th September, against Theydon Bois Golf Club on a neutral course, Bentley Golf Club. On a perfect early autumn day the two clubs lined up with six pairs of players in each team.

The format was better ball match play. First to tee off for Stoke by Nayland were Dean Brace and Shaun Underwood who were two holes up after four holes but they were pegged back at the half way stage.

Ian Benson and Trevor Brace were proving to be too strong for their Theydon Bois opponents and were three holes up at the turn. The same was true of the third pair out, Chris Williamson and Byron Long, also three up. It was looking good for Stoke by Nayland when Gary Thompson and Luke Bennett were also leading. But Theydon Bois had a foothold in the fifth match and were four holes ahead of Dan Goddard and Steve Evans. There was a close match at the end of the field when Trevor Warren and Alan White reported that they were all square at the ninth hole. Captain John Sandford was looking less relaxed at the 16th hole when his number one pair went one down. He brightened when groups two and three both won and Stoke were two points ahead. Although Dan Goddard and Steve Evans fought back they were beaten on the 16th hole.

Two points to one to Stoke. Then there was good news filtering back from the eighteenth hole. Dean Brace and Shaun Underwood had won the hole to finish the match with a vital half point. But it was with some relief that the Stoke supporters saw Trevor Warren and Alan White walking down the 16th fairway with a 4 and 3 victory under their belts. They had put together a four hole winning streak to make the match theirs.

Stoke had retained the Norman Plum Trophy and the icing on the cake was a half point from group four to leave the final score 4-2. Stoke by Nayland were presented with the trophy by the President elect of the Essex Golf Union with warm words about the spirit in which the final had been played. John Sandford, in reply, thanked his squad and caddies for their support in this campaign to retain the Norman Plum Trophy.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Regular supporters will be aware that our Club President and Press Officer Terry Adams has recently undergone a major operation from which he is making a good recovery. Terry has been diligently providing news for the local press and the Hadleigh Community News for the last 25 years and until now he has never missed a publication deadline. What an achievement. Terry is now out of Hospital undergoing a period of convalescence after which we look forward to reading Terry’s Club news once again.

It’s been mixed fortunes on the field during September. The first team suffered 2 defeats from Mildenhall and Wivenhoe, followed by 2 wins, firstly against Debenham LC in the FA Vase and followed by an away win against FC Clacton, in a match that saw keeper Sam Mansfield going to hospital with a dislocated thumb after the warm up. With no substitute keeper, young defender Jack Benee drew the short straw to go in goal and he ended up being nominated man of the match after making some great saves to keep us in the game and in the 78th minute young Aaron Bull scored the winner after coming on as a substitute.

With the progression of several young players moving up to the 1st Team, both the Reserves and Under 18’s are finding it tough to win their matches at the moment as we bring several of our Under 16’s through to gain experience of playing at a higher level. It will take time for the Club to adapt to our new financial structure, but the Club will benefit in the long term. It has never been a better time for young players with ability to progress with Hadleigh United.

Winners of the latest Monthly Draw were Peter Vardon and Paul Crawford.

The Ground Improvement draw was won by Chis Towell. Community News readers wishing to join one of our prize draw schemes please contact myself or a Committee Member. We cannot offer the same big win attraction as the National Lottery but your chances of winning a cash prize are much greater, and at the same time you will be supporting Hadleigh United FC. Hope to see many of you at the Hadleigh Fireworks on 28th October 2016.

Harvey Watts wins Suffolk Junior Match Play Newton Green’s Harvey Watts has won the Suffolk Junior match play championship after a close battle with county junior stroke-play champion Sam Byford. In the final at Waldringfield, Watts scored a 2 & 1 win over his Ipswich opponent, having defeated Tom Auchterlonie, of Woodbridge, by 5 & 4 in the semi-final. Watts, 16, received the trophy from Suffolk Golf Union president Phil Platten.

Byford had progressed to the final by beating Phil Platten & Harvey Watts Newton’s Ben Tatum in the other semi-final.

Watts showed he enjoys the Waldringfield course, having earlier in the summer gone to the same venue to retain the host club’s junior title. He was in the Newton team, along with Tatum and Alice Barlow, who recently finished seventh in the national club junior team championship in Oxfordshire, and also plays regular Stenson and Hambro golf for his club.

It has been quite a finale to the 2016 outdoor season. We reported last month that we had reached the final of the Stan Wright Cup which we won in a hard fought match against Ipswich and District; this is the first Knock Out Cup we have won in quite a while. The BE mixed triples team lost in the final of the league play offs to a strong Felixstowe and Suffolk side. Sheila Larwill won the Suffolk BE Ladies Un- Badged Singles Final and Peter Miller and Barbara Bourner won the Samford League Mixed Pairs Competition with a measure on the last end. Our congratulations go to all our champions.

On the domestic front we held our Club Finals Day on a rather damp and overcast Saturday 10 September. The weather however did not affect the quality of the matches with some very close results. A full list of the winners and runners up are as follows: Competition Winners Runners Up Mens Singles R.Clarke K.Leeks Mens Handicap Singles M.Barrand I.Clements Mens Pairs M.Marinou & D.Stokes J.Hynard & P.Miller Mixed Pairs Di Miller & P.Miller G.Jones & S.Larwill Ladies Singles Di Miller C.Woollard Elsie May Cup M.Clarke L.Finch Open Singles K.Leeks M.Marinou Open Pairs K.Leeks & M.Barrand D.Stokes & F.Creed Two Wood Singles K.Leeks P.Miller Mixed Triples D.Doust, J.Ahern, B.Tryon B.Davis, C.Joseph, M.Carter Ladies Pairs P.Linge & M.Bird Di Miller & C.Woollard Walter Wright Shield D.Doust, Di Miller, S.Bourner John Ward Trophy B.Davis, Di Miller, E.King, R.Woollards, Cleaver, J.Symth Congratulations to all our finalists.

The outdoor season came to an end with our closing Men v Ladies Drive and Supper. The Men won the day and the drive was followed by a Hog Roast Supper and live music which went down a storm. We closed the green on Sunday 18 September with a good turnout to tidy up the club house and prepare the green and gardens for winter. Thanks to everyone who helped particularly the provider of the bacon rolls.

Bildeston Carpet Bowls Club On the 30th of August the club played their final match of the summer league.

For the second year running the club won group E this year by 14 points. The competition consists of 5 groups of 7 or 8 teams based on geographic area.

Group E comprised teams from Hitcham, Hadleigh, Whatfield, Offton, Elmsett and Somersham. The winners of each group then play in the finals at Needham Market. The evening is hotly contested with many of the players being members of the Suffolk county team. The overall winners were Barking, with Bildeston finishing 4th. This was very pleasant evening for all those taking part, and another trophy for the clubs cabinet.

The club is now starting the winter league, due to the withdrawal of some clubs we will be playing in a new single west league. This will involve some extra travelling to teams in Hundon, Barrow, Stanningfield, Hoggards Green and Brockley amongst the new opposition. The club is always interested to see anybody who may like to give carpet bowls a try.

Full details of the club and the fixture list is on the Bildeston web site

Hadleigh Cricket Club Rarely has ever a season changed so dramatically. With one game left, the 1st XI’s relegation was confirmed and the 2nd XI’s position was looking bleak, 11 points from safety. Yet in the end both survived – but how?

For the 1st XI their reprieve came courtesy of another club’s oversight. It emerged that Coggeshall had broken league rules by playing two overseas players for 4 matches and were docked 77 – yes, 77! - points, taking them from mid-table down to Division 2 with Copford. So while Ben Wallis’s team survived, it should not detract from what has been a disappointing season.

There were some highs, none greater than an incredible win at Worlington in August when, thanks to Tom Piddington’s unbeaten 153, we knocked off 314 – quite possibly the biggest successful chase in the club’s history. That after two gut-wrenching 1-wicket defeats says a lot about the character of this team.

Tom deservedly won the 1st XI player of the year award, scoring two centuries in only eight innings and averaging 56. Luke Istead took 29 wickets and chipped in with 350 runs, Marlon Dias made 465 runs at 46.

After flirting with the drop for most of the season, the 2nd XI finally found themselves head over heels in the mire after two crushing defeats at the end of August. We headed to our final game at Yoxford needing a big win and hoping that St Margarets could do us a favour by beating Needham Market heavily. And this was the day an afternoon of heavy rain was forecast. A 30over match was agreed, and quite simply it could not have gone any better. A postage stamp of a ground + Archie Wilkinson = carnage. Such was the onslaught that captain Ben Daniels was able to declare after just 23 overs with the score on 258-3! The rain was still conspicuous by its absence as we took 19 points from the game, while ‘Our Man in Needham’ (Ivan Kistruck) kept us informed of developments there. St Margarets did us a favour, restricting Needham to just two points, and so the great escape was complete!

And so another season is done. But this promises to be an eventful winter off the field – hopefully more news on that over the next few months. The indoor season starts soon and this year there will be a Hadleigh women’s team for the first time, as well as training sessions at Hadleigh High School, with a view to starting an HCC women’s team next summer.
