Playgroup move into new building at last! We are extremely pleased to announce that on Friday 8th October 2010 Hadleigh Community Playgroup moved into our new building on Calais Street Recreational Ground and we started our sessions from there on Tuesday 12th October 2010. We were very fortunate to gain funding for this project from the Quality, Access and Inclusion grant from Suffolk County Council Children and Young People’s Services which covered the capital costs for the building and our new furniture and equipment. Our thanks must go to our Childcare Support and Development Officer and Childcare Business Advisor, Sally Porter and Laura Butters respectively (and prior to them Erika Fletcher and Gemma Hall) from Suffolk County Council. Without their help, advice and support throughout these last 2 years we would have not completed this project. Many of you know the site where our new building is and know that there once was an old pavilion style building there which unfortunately was fire damaged. We were lucky enough to secure the backing from Babergh District Council as they agreed to lease the land. We must say a big thank

you to Aaron Moss, Senior Surveyor at Architectural Babergh District Council who has worked tirelessly on this joint project between Babergh, the playgroup and Suffolk County Council. We also would like to thank Cllr David Grutchfield who over the years has been a great supporter of the playgroup. He has donated some money from his locality budget in order for us to buy some great equipment for the children. In the last year we have been able to purchase new table and chairs, ride-ons and most recently a PC package for the children to use which will fully compliment our ICT (Information and Communication Technology) resources.

Hadleigh Community Playgroup Continued from front page..... We have been working hard over the last 4 years since East House was closed to find a more permanent home for Hadleigh Community Playgroup. We would like to thank the Football Club and the Scouts of Hadleigh who both gave us a home which allowed us to continue to operate and provide children of Hadleigh with a good quality playgroup. We hope now in our own premises we can improve and expand our services. We have already started by offering a lunch club session every day and an afternoon session every day to give parents more choice in their childcare arrangements. The playgroup is managed by a committee made up of volunteers from the parents / carers of the children who attend the playgroup. Without the committee the playgroup would not be able to run and it is down to the support and commitment of the committee that this project has finally been realised. A big thank you to all committee members past and present who have supported this project. By no means least a big thank must go to the staff of the playgroup who have kept the playgroup going under sometimes difficult circumstances. Their commitment to providing good quality childcare and supporting the committee in their bid for our own building has been very much appreciated. We will be holding an open day shortly, keep an eye out for details, when prospective new parents can have a look around the new building and meet the staff and current committee members. We hope you like the new building and we look forward to meeting and welcoming your children to our playgroup. We still have some places available. If you wish your child to attended, then please pop into the playgroup to pick up an application form, or for further information check out our website www.hadleighcommunityplaygroup.co.uk.

Hadleigh And District Angling Society Hadleigh and District Angling Society would like to thank Suffolk County Councillor David Grutchfield and The Hadleigh Thrift Shop for recent donations which have enabled the society to purchase new equipment. Maintaining our fisheries takes many hours of hard work by volunteers. This work will be made a little easier with a new wheeled power trimmer and strimmer purchased with a grant from David Grutchfield’s locality budget.
Junior members weighing in their catch at Pond Field
David Grutchfield handing over new equipment at Bullocky Fen A donation from the Hadleigh Thrift Shop was used to purchase weighing equipment for our junior section. The junior section holds regular matches from June through to October each season. For details please contact Mick Stuart on 01473 829816 On Saturday 10th October a group from Hadleigh Sea Scouts attended a “teach in” at Pond Field, Polstead. Members were on hand
to help and give advice to the scouts who all enjoyed their day. Steve Cridland of Hadleigh Sea Scouts said “We had about 16 scouts and cubs turn up, they all enjoyed the taster session, especially as most of them had never fished before. Talking to them afterwards they all caught fish ranging from tiddlers to a couple of good size carp. I would like to thank the Hadleigh Club for their support in organising this event” If any other local organisations are interested in arranging a teach in for their junior members please contact David George on 01473 657893.

Howard with legal team of Anglia Research Services Over the years, I have been involved with a reasonable number of property auction sales and have attended those bustling occasions. I recently found myself at a Toy and Automobilia Sale at the Reeman Dansie sale rooms. The proprietor of that firm is James Grinter, a fellow motoring enthusiast. He is well known for his antiques and motoring expertise and recently for several sales of items with Royal connections. The sale rooms are located in a large warehouse unit on a business park just outside of Colchester. I was surprised at the numbers attending – a fairly motley crew in flat hats, jeans and such like. ~The auctioneers cracked through the 1,000 lots in well rounded and clipped English tones at a rate of approximately one a minute. I was staggered as dinky models fell under the hammer (whether to bidders in the room or on the internet) at any where between £100 and over £1,000 plus a buyer’s premium of 17.5% and VAT. So, if you wish to sell any item why not check out Reeman Dansie on 01206 754754. Anglia Research Services is a firm well known to me having been started many years ago by Peter Turvey who is an absolute expert in genealogy and associated legal matters. Anglia Research Services is what have become known as “heir hunters” - not for the “folically challenged” but in tracing missing and unknown beneficiaries. The picture shows me with Joanne Clayden and her assistants, Diane Yarrow-Smith and Rachel Dawson, the Anglia Research legal teams with whom I had just enjoyed lunch at Hintlesham Hall. If you want to trace beneficiaries or relatives then Anglia Research Services in Ipswich are your first port of call Tel. 01473 226725. I will now modulate from probate to property. I never cease to be amazed that people taking shops or other business premises are ready to sign up to a lease without any legal advice. Most leases will require in one way or another that the tenant is responsible for the cost of repairs to the structure. In a place like Hadleigh or Lavenham the Elizabethan buildings are “wonky” and a new roof or substantial repairs are not unforeseen which could lead to a big bill for the tenant. Just because you are taking a short lease there is no reason to be caught up in capital repairs. An old boss used to say to me that one doesn’t agree to re-build a hotel when taking a room for the night! Be warned, and come to see me to take proper legal advice – it is money well spent.

Not an easy question to ask of a room full of lively teenagers especially when you are referring to the sexually transmitted infection (STI) Chlamydia and when the simple answer is ‘you don’t’ at least not without screening. For registered nurse, Sue Keeble, encouraging Suffolk youngsters to find out, Sue Keeble (left) accepts a ‘thank you’ through screening, if they gift from Chairwoman, Liz Wilson have this highly infectious disease is her daily challenge and one she was happy to speak about at the last Fidelis meeting. The statistics for the disease make shocking reading, especially in Suffolk, which is why the government started the screening initiative in 2003. However, starting the scheme is one thing but getting the 15 to 24 year old group on board is quite another. This is where Sue and her colleagues’ explanatory work begins. They visits local schools, hostels and army barracks to help this susceptible group understand the nature and dire consequences i.e. infertility, of neglecting Chlamydia. A candid but sensitive approach is required and this together with some graphic explanations frequently prompts some of their audience to volunteer for screening. Fidelis ladies also learned about the screening methods and follow up procedures plus the available treatment. There were plenty of anecdotes to punctuate this weighty subject. It was clear that Sue has an empathy with her young audiences which is a vital ingredient if the initiative is to have any chance of success within this vulnerable group. Sadly, as with all government schemes, its duration all depends on targets so Sue and her colleagues are working against the clock to ensure that these are met then their valuable work can continue. If it does, perhaps educating older members of the family with teenagers could be another helpful addition in their battle to check the spread of this insidious disease. Oscar Wilde’s cynical dialogue is just as humorous as the day it was written. This was obvious from the giggles and laughter in the audience during a recent matinĂŠe performance at the New Wolsey Theatre of the Victorian satirical comedy ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’. Fidelis members, partners and friends thoroughly enjoyed the polished, in-house production on an innovative stage setting and all in the finest Victorian-styled costumes. Lady Bracknell (Lizzy Mcinnery ) did her own successful take on the character which cannot be easy when following in the footsteps of theatrical heavyweights like Edith Evans and Judi Dench to name just two. The group is looking forward to taking their seats again in November for the Madness of King George 111 by Alan Bennett. Jan Devey Fidelis Sec 01473 824417

Semer Airgun Society I am pleased to report that The Semer Airgun Society continues to flourish with new members joining our ranks each month. We now have a regular weekly attendance of between 17 & 25 shooters plus some parents who support their youngsters. On Tuesday 21st September in addition to our normal meeting, working together with our member Peter Swinney (Estate Ranger for Babergh District Council) and Stephanie Lloyd, (Babergh Community Development Officer) we were hosts to a group of young people. These youngsters would not normally have the opportunity to partake in the sport of target shooting in a safe, friendly environment which we can offer and educate them in the safe use of airguns. The session started with a brief introduction to the laws regarding airgun use followed by the safe handling of guns. Next the youths had to demonstrate to the tutor that they had understood all that they had been taught. With the tutor satisfied that they would be safe the young men were then given tuition on our outdoor range at various fun targets followed by some serious target shooting on our 10meter indoor range. This introduction to our sport proved to be a great success for both the Society and the young men and I hope that we may offer more young people the same chance in the near future. On Saturday 2nd October we held an afternoon fun shoot on our outdoor range which was well supported and we hope to hold another in the near future. The Society celebrated its first anniversary on 12th October, 30 members attended and a good time was had by all. When the Society was first formed by the 3 founder members a year ago they never envisaged it to grow as fast as it has and they would like to thank everyone who has helped to make the Society what it is today. By the time this edition goes to press we will have added an extra lane to our indoor range to give us a total of 5, 10 metre targets plus 1, 6metre pistol target, we will also have finished our August-October quarterly competitions, I will announce our winners in the December issue. Anyone wishing to try our sport or interested in joining our friendly ranks is more than welcome to visit us at Semer Village Hall on Tuesday evenings at 19.30 hrs or contact us via our website. www.semerairgunsociety.co.uk.

What a difference a sofa makes, I have been threatening to put more sofas in the lounge area at the restaurant for some time and at long last they are here. Immediately people have stopped fighting over the one existing piece of soft seating. Couples and groups are hunkering down by the fire in the lounge area and enjoying coffee and drinks in splendid comfort.This was very evident on Sunday with young kiddies jumping all over grand parents and mums and dads kicking back and letting nan and granddad take the strain. I would just like to remind you all, you are welcome to come in for just a drink we wont make you eat I promise! Following on from my tales of Murphy (our spaniel) and his excavations, I have resolved to walk him a bit more to relieve his boredom, and give the hedgehog a break. I did just that other day, sacrificing my afternoon nap. Where I walk him just down the road from our house is a farm track locally known as the Donkey track, funny that, any way its quite pleasant down there and I think probably some thing to do with the millennium commemorations where there was a planting of native trees and amongst those trees are a number of chestnut trees and better still on them were loads of spiny baubles braking open revealing their polished fruit.Without a thought for my own safety I was in there stick in hand knocking the prickly fruits off and running around gathering all I could, I was ten years old again, stuffing my pockets and looking for the biggest nuts I could find. I was brought swiftly back to reality by searing pain and the many small ruby globules appearing all over my fingers. So reluctantly I gave up my foraging and, Murphy now board of watching my regression back to a school boy, had started to make his own way home, what shall I do with my haul, boil them and dip them in salt, or roast them… hang on I’ve got a restaurant… I can do better than that. So here we go, try this comforting supper dish. Chestnut and Shallot Tart Tatin 125gms chestnuts, shelled 7- 8 large banana shallots One pack ready made puff pastry 200ml chicken or veg stock 125ml red wine 3 fat garlic cloves 50gms of butter 15gsm finely chopped rosemary leaves Method: Peel the chestnuts, peel and slice the shallots in half long ways. In a medium sized saucepan mix the stock, wine and butter bring to the boil and drop in the chestnuts cook for 15mins or until ‘soft’ish’.Then add the shallots and garlic cover with a lid and bring to a rapid boil. Remove the lid and boil for about 20mins, don’t let the shallots fall apart. Cut a disc of pastry using a dinner plate. Refrigerate for at least 15 mins. Carefully remove the chestnuts and shallots from the liquor reserving this and reduce. Line a baking Sheet and arrange the shallots cut side down in too a star shape with the garlic cloves in the middle and a chestnut squeezed in between each shallot. Making sure as you assemble, every thing will fit under the pastry plus a bit to tuck under. Sprinkle the rosemary over and place the pastry on top. Place in a pre heated oven at 200c or fan 180c for 20-25 minutes.When cooked allow to cool slightly, place the dinner plate over the tart and turn over, remove parchment paper and serve warm with the reduced liquor and some creamed horseradish. P.S. We are still taking bookings for Christmas parties, Christmas Day and New Years Eve. See you soon.
Enjoy. Kevin D.

Hadleigh Evening WI The October meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI was a light hearted affair. Rona Dyer arranged a Beetle Drive. Everyone frantically shook a dice and drew their beetle and in the end Gill Taylor was the winner. Some played at a more sedate pace. Josie Budd being the slowest was rewarded with the Booby prize. The game was followed by the “Harvest Supper” for which everyone was requested to bring a plate. There was a wide variety of refreshments that were thoroughly enjoyed with enough to fill doggy bags to take home. The Competition of a Halloween mask was won by Rae Stapleton. The Annual meeting will be held on 16 November in the Seminar suite above Hadleigh library starting 7.30pm. After the business each member will be asked to recount details of an interesting episode in her life. As usual visitors and new members will be welcome. Philippa Carruthers
Hadleigh Orchestra Our Christmas Concert will take place on Sunday Dec. 12th. at 6.30 p.m. Once again St. Joseph’s Catholic Church will be our venue and we are most grateful to the Catholic Church for continuing to host us. The programme is in the course of being decided – next month I shall be able to give you more details. But it will include an arrangement of the Allegretto from Beethoven’s 7th. Symphony. This is a lovely piece of music which we know everybody will enjoy. In addition there will be a couple of pieces by Leroy Anderson – ‘Sleigh Ride’ and a piece that includes tunes from several popular carols. Dvorak wrote a sonata for piano and violin that has become very popular and we shall be playing an orchestral arrangement of it. And, as usual, there will be carols for everybody to sing, accompanied by the orchestra. There will be no charge for entrance but we shall be inviting you to contribute towards the cost of the concert. So please make a note of the date now – Sunday Dec. 12th. - and look forward to a very enjoyable evening. John Druce (Chairman, Hadleigh Orchestra)

The Cock Inn Polstead
Happy memories of Hadleigh Can anyone remember those idylic summer afternoons swimming in the old mill pond that used to be known as Wallers just outside Hadleigh? It was here that I learned to swim over 60 years ago. A wooden bridge used to split the pond into two: a shallow area for toddlers to one side and a deeper pool to the right for swimmers. You graduated from one to the other. No health and safety, no lifeguards, no fuss. Just fun. I wonder if anyone can recall the amazing double jointed girl who used to often be at the pool and would demonstrate her ability to bend herself into The bungalow (now demolished) impossible shapes with her which was alongside the then heels behind her head. Anti aircraft gun depot in Calais I visited Hadleigh with my son Street, where Alan lived a few weeks ago and we tried to visit Wallers, and found what looked like the wooden bridge, but the pool has now either been filled in in or has silted up, because it is now just a trickle of a stream, which would be no use for swimming. I lived at the time at the bungalow alongside what was then an anti-aircraft equipment depot and amunition dump (now a garden centre and retail outlet) in Calais Street. Mr father Herbert William Godding ("Bert") was foreman there before and after he went off for war service in France and Far East. My brother John and I had the run of the depot and the many Army huts and other buildings dotted around the perimeter. We even had the run of the depot building itself, feeling free to amuse ourselves elevating the barrels of the ack-ack guns stored in there. I clearly remember the day watchman at the gate hut, Jack Frost, whose daughter used to cycle down with his lunch on a plate, covered by another plate and tied up with a tea towel. My mother used to bring my own lunch over in the same way so that I could dine with Jack, who used to regail me with wartime stories. I am 68 now and left the village when my father was moved to another civil service job in Leicestershire when I was nine, so all this is remembered from the late 1940s. I began school in the terrible winter of 1947 and remember making my way there along a footpath that ran past the depot past allotments - through 6ft snow drifts. I later moved to another school nearer to Calais Street, where I recall being in the playground when somone turned up with the very first issue of The Eagle comic (which would now be worth a fortune to collectors). I was once lined up to to sing the Skye Boat Song in some sort of community concert in the town, but I lost my nerve on the night and cried off. And of course I remember the old cinema which I used to visit whenever I could, sometimes sneaking in without paying through the side emergency exit if someone had left it open. However, I was banned by my mother from seeing Mighty Joe Young, about a giant gorilla, because it was only shown on a Sunday night. Another ban applied to visiting an area known as Conch, where older rougher boys (including my brother) were allowed to run rampage dressed as red indians complete with sharpened slate tomahawks. Alan Godding would be happy to hear from any other old timers who remember those days and they can e-mail him on alan@godding.co.uk

CLUB MATTERS: The Queen's Head at Wenham provided a different venue for one meeting and members and their partners sampled a selection of the delicious curries for which the establishment is famous. The food was excellent and the evening a great success so that It was agreed that one or two times a year the club would visit a variety of local restaurants in the area. On another evening a light hearted quiz was held when the speaker unavoidably cancelled at the last minute. SPEAKER: Ron Austin, a recently inducted member, gave a talk about his life and work. He was born and raised in Essex mainly living in Tiptree. After completing his National Service he joined the Metropolitan Police rising to the rank of Chief Superintendent in a 30 year career. His early years were spent pounding the beat in the East End of London and from there he enjoyed a very varied career.He was posted to Belfast 3 or 4 times each time staying at the same hotel which was regularly bombed but fortunately not when Ron was there. He became a trainer at the Police College dealing mainly with foreign students and in this capacity spent time overseas including Oman and Seychelles. He finished his time with the police in the department dealing with fraud and money laundering. On retiring he worked for BT Security and after a few years he started his own business screening prospective employees for large companies. From small beginnings it grew to 70 employees and was eventually sold to an American rival at which time Ron moved to Hadleigh and now is retired apart from assisting his son with his business from time to time. MEMBERSHIP: The Club continues to seek new members and particularly would like to acquire one or two more lady members. If you are active in the local business community and can spare just a few hours each month or are recently retired and looking for new interests we would like to hear from you. This is an opportunity to enjoy a variety of social events, make new friends and give a little back to the local community. Please ring the number below to find out more. FUTURE PROGRAMME: Speakers are scheduled for the meetings on November 11, 18 and 25 but no details are available yet.On December 2nd there will be a special general meeting to elect officers for 2011/12.

Beaumont CP School The children celebrated Harvest with Dean Martin Thrower at school on Wednesday 6th with shared songs and poems. A collection was taken to for Etenesh, an Ethiopian child who the school supports through the World Vision Charity. The next day on Thursday 8th we welcomed over thirty ‘Grandparents’ into school to share a school dinner. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and the Grandads were particularly impressed with the sponge pudding and custard. To further support our curriculum the school have a range of clubs for the children which run before and after school and also at dinnertime. The clubs include ones for hockey, gymnastics, hip hop, yoga, recorders, guitar, gardening, football and drama. We also run a ‘daddy’s club’ for children whose parents are away serving in Afghanistan. The clubs also compliment the work undertaken in school through the Westbourne High School Sports partnership. During this month we have been particularly looking at Literacy throughout the school. The children have had a day dressed as book characters and welcomed adults into school to read stories together. We were also visited by Denis Bond the children’s author. Denis was trained in drama at the Rose Bruford College and acted on stage and TV. After a period of working as a teacher he wrote for the children’s series Rainbow. His first book was The Dragon Who Couldn't Help Breathing Fire. Denis led workshops for all the children who thoroughly enjoyed the day. The work on Literacy will be further extended as the school improves the School Library with new resources including an electronic loaning service. The school will have a vacancy for a Mid day supervisor from January 2011. Duties include supervising the children in the Dinner hall and on the playground. If you would like more details please contact the school office on 01473 825120.

Allice The Musical - Nov 18th 19th 20th (+ matinee on 20th) Tickets from ‘The Idler’ Hadleigh This is my fourth show and I enjoy it more and more every time and it is very gratifying to have the children come back to me and have a few new faces join as well.. Every one has worked really hard and we are all excited to bring to you ‘Alice the Musical’ although I have to admit this one was a challenge. Alice has to grow and shrink and the baby has to turn into a pig and run off the stage so thinking caps were really on. As this version did not have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum I took it upon myself to introduce the ‘Dribble Twins’ and so I wrote a piece of script and invented the silly pair. I also put in the Nursery Rhyme scene to bring a bit of fun for the younger age group. I feel it has worked very well, the cast enjoyed it and I am sure you will too. Being Musical Director and Choreographer as well as Director I have really had my work cut out but have loved every minute of it, and I am lucky to have a fantastic cast to work with. Look out for my youngest cast member who has not long turned five (Alfie Pipe) and Alice’s (Ellen Clarke and Sian Pryor) who at just 11 years old are the youngest to have taken on a leading role in one of my productions, so please give them plenty of encouragement. I would like to say a big thank you to my Production team I couldn’t do it without them and to the Parents for running their children back and forth and of course the Cast. I am currently working on the production for next year so all those that didn’t get in this year, don’t worry, I will be back and the Parents that have enquired about their child joining next year can contact me on the number below. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the cast GOOD LUCK Niki, Director Tel – 07531184234

News from St Mary’s CEVA Primary School Open Day for Pre-School Children You are warmly invited to visit the school on Tuesday November 16th when we are holding an open afternoon for pre-school children. This will be a great opportunity for parents to meet the staff and for children to try out the resources in the Nursery and outdoor area! We welcome visitors into school any time between 1:15pm and 3:15pm and refreshments will be available. If you would like to attend, please contact the school office on 01473 823268 or admin@stmaryshad.co.uk. We look forward to seeing you! Many thanks to all the children and parents who represented the school at the St Mary’s church Harvest Festival on Sunday 3rd October. Everyone enjoyed listening to their poetry and readings and looking at their artwork. Earlier in the week, children participated in workshops at the church focusing on local meat and crops and the process of making bread. They learned a lot about local produce and farming and enjoyed the demonstrations and practical activities. On behalf of the school, I would like to thank Martin Thower and all those who contributed to this exciting event. Also, special thanks to Sue Wells, who worked hard to organise our contribution to the Harvest service! The year 6 children would like to thank Mr Marshall, the rugby coach, who has taught the children lots of new skills in training sessions. They have really enjoyed rugby training and have just about mastered the idea of passing backwards! Year 6 have just returned from their residential trip to Aylmerton on the north Norfolk coast. They had a wonderful time: for many children the

highlight was seeing the seals! There were many other activities, including orienteering and investigating different types of stone found on the beaches. The weather was great throughout the week. The children learned all about coastal erosion and sea defences, during their visits to Happisburgh and Sea Palling. Since returning, the children have written about their experiences there.
Darkness and Light, Chaos and Peace When I first saw Happisburgh I felt really unsafe because of the abandoned metal which was just lying on the beach. It looked like this beach was abandoned and forgotten and sad. There was nobody to be seen; there was barely any wildlife on this lonely place. There was little laughter, only the deafening sound of crashing and powerful waves that sometimes tried to push through what was yet to be destroyed, like a bully that will never surrender. The whole place made us feel miserable. However, when we entered Sea Palling, our moods completely changed; there was nothing but clean, golden sand and pure blue sea. It was a massive difference to our previous experience. Suddenly, we heard the sound of wildlife and we saw people enjoying the crystal clear beach, and the sea looked calm and friendly and unlike a bully. The golden sand never seemed to end and it was clean and clear. It was irresistible. I just wanted to run and play and laugh! Toby, Year 6 Happisburgh Happisburgh is such a strange word, None of us could pronounce it at first, But the beach was miserable, And the beach was wrecked. The house that teetered scarily, Waiting for what would happen next. Sea Palling Sea Palling was a vision from heaven, Everyone rating it over seven. We ate cold ice creams And built sandcastles as a team. The defences out at sea Seem a long way from you and me! Freya, Year 6 Well done to the children from Elm class, who participated in a ‘Fundamentals’ sports event at Hadleigh High School. They joined children from Whatfield and Bildeston schools, forming teams named after Olympic host cities. There were nine activities, which focused on a variety of sporting skills, including balancing, stretching, throwing and catching. The children had a great time and the winning team enjoyed receiving medals! Thank you to all the parents who supported the event, the year 8 students who helped with the activities and to the School Sports Partnership for organising everything.
Congratulations Congratulations Trevor and Sarah on your engagement, love Mum, Dad, Steph, Martin, Jake and Erin.

Banish the Winter Blues with a luxurious News from The Station Dear Readers, Welcome to this month’s edition of news from Hadleigh Police Station. Firstly, I would like to put into words an apology from one of our parishioners. Recently, the graffiti tag “Enzo” appeared in blue spray paint on the inside of the porch at St Mary’s Church. Whilst graffiti is often unsightly, its appearance on such an important and historic landmark shows a sign of great disrespect and ignorance to all sections of the community, and is not tolerated. The Church worked with local teenagers and Police to identify the offender and he was spoken to with an admission received for this and other examples of graffiti. The offender was made to clean the graffiti from the porch wall, and this was done in front of a large group of teenagers who regularly use the Church facilities, causing him great embarrassment and teaching him a valuable lesson. As part of the punishment, Danny Green, aged 19 from Hadleigh, agreed for me to publish his name and to express his “deep regret” at carrying out the damage, and express that he was “extremely sorry” for what he did and he apologised “to all of the community who use the Church”. Later, Green told me “cleaning it up, and a public apology is the worst punishment I could have had!” I would like to stress that Green does not frequent the Church grounds, and the ever-increasing group who socialise at the Church and are part of the porch project were all disgusted by his actions and assisted us in apprehending him. Whilst this is a minor success story for the community, it must be said that there remain other examples of “Enzo” in our community. We have no evidence linking these to Green, many are in a slightly different style to his “art work”. We are keen to hear from anybody who might have information relating to the appearance of any graffiti in our Town. As demonstrated, we have more than just criminal remedies available to us and can often find more appropriate ways of dealing with low-level crime and disorder. As the festive period approaches, we remind you all to look after each other when out socialising. As ever, we will be taking a zero tolerance approach to drink fuelled anti-social behaviour this Christmas, and have powers now to disperse persons who are under the influence of alcohol and who are likely to be disorderly or could cause drink related problems. A direction to leave under section 27 of the violent crime reduction act 2006 can last up to 48hours, and allows us to arrest any person who returns to a specified area within that time. Our forthcoming Neighbourhood Panel Meetings are on Wednesday 17th November at Hadleigh High School and Wednesday 15th December at Capel St Mary Methodist Church, both 7.30pm. These are open public meetings, and we encourage anyone with any policing issues to attend. PCSO 3173 Bignell and I will also be in Buyright, Hadleigh, hosting regular surgeries from 12.30pm and 2pm on every 3rd Monday starting 18th October 2010. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley

HADLEIGH CHARACTERS Barry Nutt, Hadleigh Town Crier To supplement their father’s income as a bank clerk, Barry Nutt and his brother Brewis took a wheelbarrow round the estate in 1950s Flixton, Manchester, selling metal hair combs, greaseproof paper and fibreglass for boiler insulation, Barry being one of the first people to market the latter all over South Lancashire. ‘People were a little disappointed when I went off to university and my brother went off to join the merchant navy’, he tells me. ‘My brother was named after the family name of a good friend of my dad’s, who had died in a car accident. Brewis moved to Sydney, Australia years ago and we have visited each other’. After a while things began to improve when Barry’s ex RAF flight lieutenant father was promoted to bank manager. ‘We weren’t used to money,’ says Barry, ‘and then suddenly we had some.’ Unfortunately, the antithesis to this was the untimely death from cancer later, in 1965, of Barry’s in his own words ‘incredible mother.’ She had worked at Horrocks Cotton as a milliner. Barry started his first dance band in the sixth form. He bought his first record, jazz, which he still has, when he was seventeen. He studied at the University of Manchester from 1952 til 1956, also studying at Aix en Provence, France. In 1957 he spent four whole terms at the prestigious University of Oregon. ‘I followed lectures, gave lectures, washed dishes in the sorority, babysat…it was the busiest time of my life!’ he says laughing. Professors and their wives loved his band and nobody seemed to mind the crowded dance floor. Barry’s dad even acted as MC a couple of times. ‘He was always full of great ideas. When he heard me play, he compared me to Glen Miller who he had seen in the desert! One of the proudest moments of my life’, smiles Barry, ‘was when I was posted my leatherbound MA in the presence of my parents’. Barry Nutt went to Daventry, which was famous for being one of the largest wireless stations in the world, to teach French and Spanish. ‘Students had only sung hymns in assembly up to that point, so I started a band and put on shows. It was fantastic’. Two boys took turns to play Barry’s second trumpet. Later this shop in Northampton had to close because of the rent, selling off a lot of army instruments and the band grew. Within five years Barry’s boys and girls were part of the champion band of the East Midlands. Barry also presented Waltzing Matilda in this show at a school in Billericay in 1970. He says it was absolutely hilarious because all the props were on stage and then cleared away at the end. He had to picture each scene; presenting things offstage as inconspicuously and as secretly as possible. A big branch came hurtling in from the wings, and then he had the entire

crowd singing the chorus. In the same show, the row of older girls leapt over a row of younger girls in front of them into the splits and did the cancan. They didn’t know though that when they finished the boys would come from the back and gave each girl a flower because they’d done so well, which is what was done in France originally and Barry had read all about it - it was a Parisian idea. ‘I didn’t know girls could put in so much effort. I ought to have known because when I was a a student we had three girls who can-canned all the way through Manchester and the suburbs more or less non-stop to our music even in the snow dressed in their outfits too!’ Much later, when Barry was still a relative newcomer to Hadleigh, he took his old dance band music library in to Ray Brown at Hadleigh High School in March 1988 and practise started in the April. He led a voluntary evening class at the High School using that music with numerous local musicians who later joined in the Suffolk Punch events. Barry devised the poignant logo for the Suffolk Punch Organisation, a group of fund raising musicians who raised a considerable of money was devised in 1989, its motto in Latin meaning ‘All people and all things through harmony shall be one’. Barry received a £100 grant. In the first ten years Barry reckons Suffolk Punch helped raise £20,000 for all kinds of charities, playing at balls, fetes, dances, parties, and wedding anniversaries. ‘We’re still doing it. We’re listed on Suffolk Library link’. Barry was also secretary of the Hadleigh Community Association. The association raised £10,000 for the Town Hall kitchen and when it ceased to exist some years ago it still had £10,000 left to distribute to local causes. The club held a lottery and the Lions held bingo drives at the High School. We had our own fundraising events at East House, all kinds of bazaars, fetes, all manner of things. We were going to have a hand shaking event and wrote off to the Guinness Book of (World) Records, but they rejected the idea. We had done it in Montpellier University, France in 1967. That was an impromptu thing where I’d made an announcement all through the university saying we’d had such a fabulous day that we’d like to come round and shake hands with everybody. When we left the whole town was shaking hands!’ John Holborn did this sketch of East House, almost getting knocked over twice in the process,’ Barry laughs with fond memories. ‘We used that sketch in the forerunner of the Community News, which we printed, assembled, and distributed ourselves, really hoping to preserve East House for the town. Barry would like to be thought of as an environmentalist, his ambition in life to ‘change the imposition of human government, philosophy and politics, upon our common inheritance of the world’. ‘The finest environmentalist of all if you think about it was Jesus. I can’t think of anybody else who did quite so much to bring people close to each other and to the environment, whereas philosophy and politics are detached from reality. God establishes the environment around us and our ideas are drawn from that. Now if you work it out right everybody therefore has something in common. Philosophy is love of wisdom and if you’re not careful, wisdom is detached from that reality. It’s more like politics you know, it’s no good. You’ve got to have more than that. I’ve always been very realistic’, he tells me. He became town crier about 3 and a half years ago, which was all reinforced last year, complete with his finery, long trumpet and hand bell. He doesn’t normally use the trumpet as it only plays odd notes and not a range of notes. Barry has also been asked to help raise funds for the East Anglian Children’s Hospice. You can call on Barry through the Thrift Shop and the Town Council to open new shops or for any local events. Apart from his obvious love for music, Barry is a fan of poets such as Dylan Thomas and tragically assassinated Spanish writer Garcia Lorca, and he quotes the closing line from Lorca’s acclaimed play Mariana Pineda, ‘Love love love and solitude forever’. ‘Isn’t that beautiful?’ he smiles.

This Club was founded 256 years ago by John Ward, the landlord of the White Horse Hotel, and we believe that it is the oldest Bowling Club in the country still on its original site. We purchased the freehold in 1970 with the aid of loans from members and it is with great regret that we are moving . However, its facilities are very limited and do not meet the requirements of the 21st.Century. Although we spent a lot of time, effort and money a few years ago on plans to update our premises, these were in vain. Four years ago the current option arose and, after much discussion, the members agreed that it was too good an opportunity to miss. Unfortunately, it has meant that we have had to move outside the bypass, but the benefits are enormous. We have a full size green, capable of providing eight rinks, and our Club room is large enough and sufficiently well equipped to accommodate our annual dinner or any other social function that we may wish to hold. We also have sufficient space for two short mats and intend to offer "short mat bowls" and "carpet bowls" during the winter months. Our first social event will be our Christmas Draw and Buffet Supper, in December. Unfortunately, our old Club records have been destroyed but some of us have memories of winning a major County competition in the early 1950's and the mens' pairs in 1958. More recently our men won the Quinton Bowl in 1984 and the Norton Cup in 1986. One of our members also won the Mens' Singles in 1988/9. Until 1967 the Club had been men only but then ladies were admitted as playing members. Since then they have done us proud, providing 5 Presidents of the Ladies' County Association in the last 35 years as well as winning 7 major county team competitions and many individual competitions including, on three occasions, Champion of Champions. One of our ladies, Dorothy Panks, represented England, as an international, 9 times between 1962 and 1971. In 1986 The Club presented The Suffolk Womens' Bowling Association with the Hadleigh Challenge Cup to be competed for, annually, by teams of ladies of any affiliated club in the county. We host the final of this each year, We have, also, accommodated the finals of several other County Competitions in the past. All our visitors appreciate the standard of our green which, thanks to Nick Saunders' efforts, is, in my opinion, as good as any and better than many that I have played on. We are a friendly club, doing our best to encourage and support new bowlers, which is, perhaps, why we have such a strong membership whilst other clubs are struggling. Should you be considering bowling we shall be having an open weekend next season as soon as our new green is in play and we look forward to seeing you then. Watch this space for details early next year.

Chris Corder It is now over a year since our son Chris had his accident. After several months at the Royal London Hospital and the Colman Re-hab Unit in Norwich he has now settled in at The Sue ryder Home, Chantry Park, Ipswich. Unfortunately his progress is very slow but he is looking much better. We have now been able to spend some of the money donated so kindly. We have purchased a reclining armchair for him designed for patients who are immobile, also a TV and radio CD player for his room, we hope he is able to enjoy the football. Thanks to your generosity there is adequate money in the fund for anything else he may require to aid his recovery. We are pleased that Chris is now so much nearer and being cared for so well by all the staff at the home. Many thanks to everybody for all their kind enquiries regarding Chris’s health. Jerry & Maureen Corder
Black Cat Club On Wednesday 15 September Mark Fox from East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices came to talk to us about the Treehouse Appeal. This will be a new purpose built children’s hospice situated within 4 acres of woodland which has been donated by a charitable trust. We were told that the hospice will cost 3 million pounds and that they are totally reliant on the generosity of the general public. The new hospice will allow end of life care to be delivered in greater privacy with dedicated areas for specialist therapies. The club decided to sponsor a brick on the woodland walk. The appeal has been ongoing throughout 2010 with various events raising money. Our next meeting was a slide show by Mike Sands showing us the more “quirky” side of New Zealand. The pictures were taken whilst he and his wife were visiting family. We were both surprised and amused at some of the pictures which showed the fun element of New Zealand along with its beauty.

This winter, have a cosy fire – not a chimney fire! Chimney fires do still happen regularly, and they can be a very scary experience - often leading to significant damage to a home. With the winter approaching, here is a timely reminder of some things you can do to minimise the risk; • Have your chimney swept and inspected at least once a year by a competent, professional chimney sweep – for insurance purposes, ensure they can issue a recognised certificate. • Use only recommended fuels – if using wood, make sure it is dry and well seasoned; burning unseasoned or treated wood causes flammable tars and creosote to build up in the chimney. • Don’t use your fire to get rid of rubbish – no cardboard, waste paper, remains of Christmas trees etc. - these are all too often the cause of chimney fires. • Ensure that any chimney liners and stoves are installed correctly – if in doubt, get it checked.

Letter from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the meeting of the Parish Council on Wednesday 22 September were: • Our District Councillor informed us of the advanced nature of discussions which could lead to the merging of Babergh and Mid-Suffolk District Councils. • Our County Councillor informed us of the expectation that with changes probable in the County Council structure, more responsibilities could be devolved down to Parish level. • The planning application for conversion of a small barn to tourist accommodation at the Queen’s Head has been withdrawn. • The Parish Council awaits information from the Parochial Church Council concerning a suggestion of some months ago that responsibility for the churchyard should be handed over to the Parish. • The Council is to actively seek further plots of land which could be used to create more allotments. • The Council is to seek advice on how Layham could become an ECommunity – using email addresses to pass information around – notice boards not being successful. • A letter was read from a parishioner whose dog had been attacked and hurt by a loose dog on the footpath. The Clerk is to request the owners of the dog to ensure this does not happen again.

Layham Playing Field This picture shows Roy Richardson from Polstead Heath, at work cutting our field in October. After a dry summer when we went for weeks without needing the grass to be cut, there has been thick and fast growth during the autumn. We employ Roy to cut the main field area and the rest is cut by volunteers from the Management Committee. The cost of this is covered by an annual grant from the Parish Council for which the members of the Management Committee are very grateful. 28

From the Layham Archive Layham folks in the 1330s (Part 2) From surviving manorial documents almost 700 years old we can tell the occupations of some of the people who lived in Layham village in the 1330s. This short article identifies a few of the ordinary villagers at that time – most from Netherbury manor. Many of these folks would have been ‘customary tenants’; that meant they held land from the manor by paying rent and also working for the lady of the manor for a set number of days in the year. Working the land and caring for the manor animals would have been important tasks at Netherbury. The customary tenants would undertake the harrowing, reaping, hedging and ditching etc as part of their rent but paid employment was given to several villagers - four ploughmen, one cowman, one shepherd, William the dairyman, Thomas Drury who looked after the pigs and John the carter. There was a grain allowance for any boys helping the shepherd at lambing time, frightening rooks and doves away from the crops or guarding the hay day and night at harvest-time.
Amongst the other workers were two millers. Thomas le Bole ran the fulling mill on Combs meadow near Water House and John the Miller presumably worked the corn-mill on the site of Layham’s present day mill. Four dyers are noted and they probably worked by the river near the fulling mill. This type of watermill caused hammers to beat newly woven cloth to clean and thicken it. Adam the Smith would have been an essential member of the Layham community but was his forge on the site of current-day Blacksmith’s cottage? Perhaps John the Huntsman supplied game for the lady of the manor’s table and Adam the Fisher no doubt fished the River Brett much as fishermen do today. Roger Leggy and Adam Dobil were the official inspectors of carcasses with the task of assessing whether the lady’s animals had died from a legitimate cause or from neglect by one of the lady’s tenants. It is highly likely Richard the Skinner worked on each carcass once its inspection was complete. There was also Richard the Warrener who would have been responsible for rearing rabbits for others to hunt. We must also wonder if Olive the Gardner looked after the Netherbury manor garden, if Thomas the Boteler really did make leather bottles as his name implies and what Adam the Chapman [a pedlar] was selling as he peddled his wares around the village. Last but not least we should mention the additional jobs of Roger Leggy and Adam Dobil - as ale-tasters; they were fined in court for not doing ‘their duty’, which means they failed to test the quality and strength of all the ale brewed in the busy village of Layham.

Layham Playgroup ‘Layham’s Harvest Home!’ Now that Autumn is well & truly with us & all our new starters are settling in well, we have had great fun with our themes of ‘Harvest’ & ‘People who help us in the community’. A warm welcome to our latest starter Eli, we hope you have a wonderful time with us. The children thoroughly enjoyed their Autumn walk down the lane collecting conkers & leaves & their participation in the harvest celebration at St Andrews, where they performed a medley of charming songs for the audience. Cooking & baking sessions are always popular, with the children joining in with great gusto in bread making, preparing jam tarts & a wonderful vegetable soup. We all enjoyed using our new baking equipment bought from the collection of Sainsbury’s ‘Active kids’ vouchers. There was even enough bread left over the following day for the children to make their own sandwiches for snack time. We started our theme about people who help us in the community with a lovely visit to Brett Green sub-post office. The children really enjoyed the trip experiencing the early Autumn colour, the bridges & water mill on route to the delightful, enthusiastic time spent at the post office with Marian & Alan Hughes. Thank you for your time & kindness. Not to be out done the mums & dads have been busy too. We collected a magnificent 72 bags for our ‘Cash for schools’ promotion, raising a total of £108, which was used directly for a new shop for the role playing area & new digital camera for the children. A warm thank you to the wonderful people of Layham & Hadleigh who gave so generously. Our ‘Pampered Chef’ evening proved that our mums & dads can cook too, preparing but mostly eating chicken tartlets & festive ring! A big thank you to Sarah for organising a very enjoyable & fun evening. Novembers social will be our ever popular ‘Phoenix Night’ on 11th November, where frenetic card & gift purchases will take place, interspersed with even more frenetic chat, drinks & nibbles. Back by popular demand our Christmas Craft & Gift Fair will take place on 11th December at The Ansell Centre, Hadleigh. Plans are well advanced for what will be a bumper occasion, with fun, crafts, gifts, activities, music & some special festive surprises! (See separate advert & posters for details). Finally a big thank you to everyone who has collected Sainsbury’s & Tesco vouchers for the group, Liz, Debs & Amanda who coordinated the ‘Cash for schools’ collection & to all those parents who contribute so kindly in whatever way you can to making Layham Playgroup a ‘special place’. If you are looking to creatively occupy your 21/2 – 4yr old and would like an information pack or would like to arrange a visit, please contact Linda on 01473 828974 or email us at admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk
What is Café Church at Layham? It is a time when we meet to chat over refreshments and worship in an informal manner. What time and when is it? Café Church starts at 10.15 a.m. on the third Sunday of each month. It usually lasts between 45 minutes and an hour. What happens there? We start with bacon rolls, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc. Once everyone has been served we start our informal worship. This takes a varied form, sometimes there are activities to participate in if you like – there is never any pressure on anyone to do anything they do not feel comfortable with. We have planted seeds, made bread (which was cooked, frozen, then eaten at the next Café Church!), made Love Butterflies, and in September we celebrated the Baptism of two of Jean Herring’s great-grandsons! Brian plays his guitar for us to sing hymns and songs (sometimes even action songs!) Above all we have fun with friends (some old and some new) whilst we worship God, our heavenly father. Why don’t you come along and join us? You’ll always be sure of a warm welcome. For further information please ring the Benefice Office on 01473 824987

Construction of roads, footpaths and cycle links including a distributor road accessed from new roundabout at the junction of the A1071 with Lady Lane, improvements to Lady Lane and the vertical realignment of Footpath No. 24 where it crosses the distributor road (as amended by agent’s letter and plans dated 26.04.2010; 29.06.2010 and 14.09.2010. Approval was recommended – voting was unanimous but the Council would reiterate its comments from 11th March 2010: The Committee were pleased to note the mix of houses, flats etc and the fact that some were for affordable housing which they consider is a great need in the town. The Committee would, however, make the following comments and requests: That disability issues be taken into account with the possibility of making some of the properties disabled friendly; That the sewer drains be investigated to ensure they are sufficient for the population of the town; That the builders consider building eco friendly properties in line with the government’s carbon reduction and green agenda; and The Committee note the Neighbourhood Park and note another piece of land next to it which they would ask be considered as a new allotment site
to be provided for the town again in line with the government’s agenda for which the S106 agreement should be considered.

The Committee noted this application but would wish to make the following comments: One tree has already been removed from this property and it appears the proposed tree to be removed does not impede off street parking. It appears from the documentation that this tree is merely seen as a nuisance. Under current green policies we would not wish to see trees removed unnecessarily.

ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS Councillor Haylock informed the Committee that she had received a complaint from residents at Bushey Coopers Cottages in Pond Hall Road in connection with the recent planning application for the camping site. It appears that the residents letters of consultation had not been received from Babergh DC until after the planning decision had been made. Councillor Haylock also reminded Councillors of the upcoming Greener Hadleigh Exhibition. Councillor Matthews offered to contact a resident in Layham who had geo thermal heating to ascertain how effective it was given the reference to eco issues in application number B/09/01431/RES previously discussed at the meeting. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8:08pm Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Hadleigh Rugby Club The new season has begun with a series of mixed fortunes and results for the teams in junior and senior sections of the club. The 1st XV have played in the Suffolk Plate against Mistley and unfortunately lost out to the Essesx team by 5points. In the league there were disappointing performances against Felixstowe and Swaffham at home. The team has shown sporadic moments of excellent attacking and support play only to become undone by a series of unforced handling errors which have led to the opposition teams picking up easy points. Playing away at Thefford seemed to spur the players on and a good victory by 27 points to23 was recorded. This season has seen the formation of a more regular 2nd XV, who have played games against Mistley and Woodbridge 3rds gaining excellent victories in both and amassing 56 points in the process and conceding only 11. The junior section has also been having its share of good performances very early on. The U-9’s and U-11’s teams recently competed in the Developing Squad Festival held at Woodbridge. The U9s reached the Final of the pPlate competition narrowly losing out while the U-11’s team, a very able squad this season, went on to the Final of the Main competition and held Colchester to a draw and shared the trophy. We expect this season to be one of our most successful in the last few years. The club is now able to field a second team along with our 1st XV in the senior section and the membership of the Youth and Mini section of the club now stands at over 150 boys and girls from 5 to 17 years of age. We are still looking for more local players to join our club especially at U.16 and U15 years and in our senior section. So remember - If you are strong, powerful and able to run‌‌‌. ........why not give us a try!!

The Bildeston Crown named “Best Restaurant” at Suffolk Food & Drink Awards 2010 It has been a great week for The Bildeston Crown in Suffolk. On Monday evening (27th September) at the AA Hospitality Awards, it was confirmed that the Suffolk inn’s restaurant had retained for the third year running, its AA 3 rosette status. It is the only restaurant in Suffolk to have three rosettes; there is no establishment in the county with more. The hotel side of the business also retained its three red stars. Three days later (30th September), management couple, Chris and Hayley Lee, were at the Suffolk Food & Drink Awards 2010 ceremony held at the West Wing, Ickworth. Together with owner James Buckle, they picked up the award for “Best Restaurant”. The annual event, launched five years ago to recognise and celebrate the county’s champions of local food and drink, had eleven award categories this year. The “Best Restaurant” category is sponsored by Promotion Wine. To select “Best Restaurant”, the public vote to create a shortlist of three nominees which are then visited by a team of judges who look for amongst other factors: inventive use of locally sourced produce; range of menu; presentation; evidence of specialist skills; strategies to show how customers are attracted and retained and evidence of national recognition. Owner, farmer and businessman, James Buckle is thrilled with this success: “The Bildeston Crown is all about great tasting food and I give full credit to the talent, inspiration and hard work of Chris Lee and his team for putting us quite literally in a different league to our competition. As a Suffolk farmer, I am particularly pleased to see The Bildeston Crown recognized as a key player in the movement to highlight just how fantastic Suffolk’s food and drink really is and I am so proud that The Bildeston Crown has been acknowledged this year as the county’s “Best Restaurant” Chef Chris Lee is equally delighted: “It has been an amazing year. I don’t know which pleases me more – the national recognition through the AA and the Taste of England Award last April or just simply enjoying the strong local support of customers and suppliers which drove the Suffolk competition. All I know is that I love my job and it is fantastic that what we are doing at The Bildeston Crown, in terms of the food we are producing, is being enjoyed and recognised.”

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.suffolk.sch.uk Website: www.hadleighhigh.suffolk.sch.uk
Headteacher’s introduction Year 6 pupils have been visiting Hadleigh High School over the last month to participate in an extravaganza of Science experiences. Youngsters from Beaumont Primary, Bildeston Primary, Elmsett Primary, Hadleigh Community Primary School, Hintlesham, Kersey Primary and St.Mary’s School have taken part in a Mini Beast Hunt and a Forensic Science Day.On the 17th of September staff from Hadleigh High School and Hadleigh Community Primary School joined forces to go on a ‘Mini Beast Safari’ with pupils from Hadleigh Community Primary School. The venue was the grounds of Bildeston Primary School with the intrepid explorers venturing into the wilds of the school garden, hedgerows and even a stream. On Friday 1st October Hadleigh High School hosted a Primary School Forensics Investigation event. Almost 200 students from local primary schools spent the day using scientific and forensics methods to solve the mystery of who has stolen the science department’s skeleton ‘Bones.’ Using the our science laboratories the student sleuths used modern forensic techniques to piece together the evidence and eliminate the innocent suspects! These included analysing soil and ink samples, electrophoresis on DNA and fingerprint analysis. Students were assisted by Hadleigh High School Science Staff and Beth Cowhams of the Crime Scene Investigation Team at Suffolk Police. The suspects were played by Year 10 students from Hadleigh High School as part of their GCSE Drama studies.
The day culminated with each student team using the evidence they have collected to identify the guilty suspect. This event, along with other events run through the year, are part of Hadleigh Highs School's Science Specialism work which seeks to enhance scientific learning across a range of partner schools.
Open evening We held our annual Open Evening for Year 5 and 6 visitors. This is always an important event as it allows us to demonstrate the high level of work the school is able to produce. Nearly half the students gave up their time to come and help out. All visitors who came up were impressed by our manners and high quality of work. This year the Year 10 and 11 pupils took up the role of guides and with their 4-5 years of experience of the school they were able to offer a comprehensive tour introducing parents to the many activities that were on offer.
Year 6 Forensic Science day Last Friday (1st October) was the Forensic Science Day for the Year 6s. Almost 180 students came up to Hadleigh High School to solve the mystery of who stole Bones the school’s skeleton. The suspects were brilliantly played by older students who got into the role by dressing up and taking up alter egos. Thanks go to the students: Aimee Berry, Megan Baldry, Adam Higgins, Charlotte Daniels and Collette Bunce.
Author Visit
Hadleigh Leisure Centre
On Tuesday 5th October, Chris Bradford author of popular book series ‘Young Samurai’ came to talk to the Year 7 and Year 8s as part of his worldwide tour. As part of his visit they were able to see demonstrations with swords and different fighting techniques. Throughout his presentation he asked for volunteers and every hand went up to help him. He gave out free posters and mini books to those who answered a question. All agreed that it was a very different visit from an author but undoubtedly a very enjoyable one.

Our current Year 10s took part in their bronze Duke of Edinburgh in which they had to do a two day expedition, where they had to camp and positively orienteer in the right direction. Though every team faced their challenges they all managed to power through. The Duke of Edinburgh award concentrates on team work, commitment and physical and mental challenges. Congratulations to the pupils who are doing this rewarding, enriching challenge. The next expedition will be in May and we wish them all the best with it! All 20 pupils agree that it was a positive experience that none will forget in a hurry.
Shakespeare Schools Festival On Tuesday the 5th October, sixteen Hadleigh High School students travelled to the Lakeside Theatre at the University of Essex to perform Shakespeare’s Macbeth. They performed on the same night as three other schools including St. Joseph’s College (who performed King Lear), Colchester Sixth Form College (performing A Winter’s Tale) and The Gilberd School (who performed A Midsummer Night’s Dream). Students from the age of eleven to eighteen have the chance to be a part of the Shakespeare Schools Festival, which is an annual event with over six hundred and fifty schools performing in theatres around the UK; this year Hadleigh High had students from Years ten and eleven taking part. All of the students had a good time with the chance to meet new people from other schools who also enjoy acting, as well as having the chance to experience performing in a theatre. The final performance went well with the audience of friends and family from all four schools enjoying the evening.

Walton On the 27th, 28th and 29th of September the Year 11 Geographers embarked on their annual trip to Waltonon-the-Naze to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of the coastal defences. This year the trip was especially important as the fieldwork completed would form the basis of their second piece of Controlled Assessment. Despite the miserable weather on the last day, the three days were successful and enjoyed by the students. As usual student behaviour was excellent and a credit to the school. However the Geography Department staff will not be visiting Walton again until next autumn!
Peer Mentoring A new opportunity for the Year 10s has arisen to be Peer Mentors for the younger students of the school. Pupils who have been selected to be Peer Mentors will experience a training day on Enrichment Day in November. T he students have been really positive about the idea, and the teachers feel this will give the students responsibility. They will become a source of comfort for the younger students of the school, as they will feel they have someone to talk to in confidence.
Halloween Safety tips... • If you have a friend who can drive and are taking a bunch of friends to a party, make sure they have enough petrol to get there. You don't want to run out on a dark street, all alone, like a bad horror movie! • If you parents give you a curfew, be home when they say. It builds trust between you and them and they are doing it for your own safety. If you are going to be late, call them and let them know. • Throwing eggs at cars and houses is not cool. Someone has to clean it up and it could be you, if you get caught. You can also be arrested and punished as a juvenile. Think about how you would feel if someone did that to your house and how bad it would make you feel. • If you are going out with friends, make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with. This may seem like a VAT is moving online from April 2010 pain but they are your parents and they love you. They just want you to be safe.

Janet Drake, of Slimdance has just announced a series of Latin Solo classes across the Babergh district aimed at men and women who are looking for a fun social evening and who want to “Dump the Diet, Join the Fun” and dance their weight away.

The aim is to get active, learn dance moves and have fun, the Latin music gets everyone in the mood then I teach them step by step through the routines. It really doesn’t matter if they have two left feet, never danced before or have no sense of rhythm. You don’t need to bring a partner but come along with as many friends as you like. We’ll have a ball, not literally but I guarantee it will be fun.’ 53 year old, dance instructor and Slimdance franchisee, Janet has been dancing since the age of five and says she loves all forms of it; Ballroom, Latin American, Ballet, Modern Jazz and Contemporary. Having taken a break from dancing to raise her son and to pursue other interests Janet says she has thrown herself into her new project with more enthusiasm than ever and is really looking forward to getting the classes started. Janet’s first class starts on Monday 25 October at The Guildroom in Hadleigh from 7pm with one hour sessions per class through to 11pm. She is back in Hadleigh on Wednesday evenings at St Mary’s School and in Capel St Mary on Thursday mornings and evenings. From November 1, Janet launches Slimdance on a Monday morning in East Bergholt, Tuesday mornings in Brantham and Friday mornings in Stratford St Mary.

Film Review with Mat Lucas
Buried (15, 94mins, Rodrigo Cortes) The incredibly talented Ryan Reynolds is once again on the big screen; however here in Buried he has a little more screen time than usual. For the entire ninety-four minutes of the film, director Ridrigo Cortes of Spain manages not once to stray from the coffin that holds the protagonist. Also, with a tiny budget compared to anything similar from Hollywood, this film once again proves that you don’t need money to make great films, not by a long shot. The film revolves around Paul Conroy, played by Reynolds, who wakes up buried in a coffin. For the first few minutes he is one screen, he is panicking and trying to move around and, obviously, free himself. His situation quickly becomes clear to him. This is not before a very tense opening sequence in which the audience does not have anything to look at besides a blank screen, with a few noises to listen to. Once Paul manages to get his lighter working, then the audience can truly see him dilemma. The problem for cinematographer Eduard Grau and director Cortes is that there isn’t that much room to shoot if you are trying to create the illusion of a fully enclosed coffin. The lighting also has to be carefully constructed, as the light available to Conroy is simply his lighter, and later a torch and two glow sticks. As the film moves forward and Conroy loses more air, more hope and has a horrifying phone conversation with the man who supposedly buried him, the audience will be on the edge of their seats just hoping that he is found. As well as this, the music that is used to convey the emotions of Paul Conroy is scored superbly by Victor Reyes. Although a film such as this deserves every bit of credit it gets, the unfortunate way things work in films like this is that, if the ending isn’t up to standard, then the whole film is let down. The ending here, in Buried, is stunning, it’s just pure brilliance. It seems like Cortes has done everything right in this film, and made a minor classic. Failing that, is has to be a contender for suspense thriller of the year. Personal judgement: Everything about this film has been perfected, from the cinematography right down to the script. Simply brilliant film making. Rating: 4/5

TWO FEATURE FILMS FOR NOVEMBER!
Lunch Clubs Don't forget our lunch clubs, held on the 1st Friday and 3rd Wednesday of each month.
Classic Films East Anglia boasts its own film archive based in Norwich. They have been organising film presentations throughout the region to give people a taste of the films made locally over the years giving a unique insight into the way the area has changed during the last century. Ansell Centre Digital Cinema was the location of one of these presentations by film archivist Stewart Orr. For the day we changed from being a digital cinema to using actual film complete with projector and celluloid film reels. The presentation was a real treat of films based around Hadleigh. We learned the arts of stooking (or shocking as its known locally) and rope making. We even discovered that Hadleigh had its own international air show in 1928! Best of all for me was to see the harvesting when that activity was a process and not the modern day event, over before you realise it's begun. Every one enjoyed the nostalgia and we entered a new era by having a matinee for the first time in our history

To cheer up our cinema patrons now that winter is almost with us, your committee plan to show two feature films each winter month with the exception of December. November has two contrasting films to please the most discerning
AN EDUCATION (12A) FRIDAY 12th NOVEMBER at 7.30 pm £3 A coming-of-age story about a teenage girl in 1960s suburban London and how her life changes with the arrival of a playboy nearly twice her age. Jenny is a 16 year old schoolgirl played with great wit and charm by Carey Mulligan who is planning to enter Oxford University. By chance she meets a charming older man, David Goldman - played by Peter Sarsgaard - who pursues her romantically. Jenny falls for him hook, line and sinker and even Jenny’s parents approve of this relationship! Unfortunately there is a dark side to David, whose life revolves around making money through a range of shady deals. This does not stop Jenny in her infatuation – even to accepting his proposal of marriage. However, that’s enough of the story. Come along and see what happens! AN EDUCATION is well supported by a cast including Dominic Cooper, Emma Thompson and Rosamund Pike amongst many other actors.
SHERLOCK HOLMES (12A) FRIDAY 26th NOVEMBER at 7.30 pm £3 The purists may wonder what Arthur Conan Doyle would think about this adaptation of his famous Sherlock Holmes, featuring US actor Robert Downey Jr. with Jude Law as a pensive Dr. Watson. As a period piece SHERLOCK HOLMES captures the spirit of an earlier England with its set design, costumes and dialogue. Great literature seldom makes for great cinema, yet the film’s director Guy Ritchie provides us with an interesting departure from the old Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce films. Here we get special effects and stunts, the story is multilayered and should be enjoyed for the pleasure it gives: a twisted web of murder, deceit and black magic plus a dim-witted head of Scotland Yard! Come along on 26th November, sit back and enjoy the film, and don’t worry if the storyline is not quite traditional Sherlock Holmes - it’s all great fun!

Hadleigh Community Primary News Year 5 Dunwich Trip Once again, our children have had plenty of opportunity to explore the world around them through a huge variety of educational visits. On 30th September, Year 5 visited Dunwich to investigate the impact of coastal erosion. They visited the museum to see the huge number of buildings already lost to the sea, and then had further discussions at Dunwich Heath. A lighter element of the visit was when the children participated in making beach art using resources around them. It was a beautiful sunny day, making the whole experience a very pleasant one!
Year 2 Visit Felixstowe On Tuesday 5th October, Year 2 visited Felixstowe in order to compare contrasting localities as part of their Geography curriculum. They have also been studying stories with a seaside theme in Literacy. Despite heavy rain the day before, the weather was relatively kind and the children enjoyed visiting the docks and a nature reserve as well as making sand sculptures.
Dental exhibition. On Wednesday 13th October, most of the school were treated to an interactive dental exhibition. Those who did not attend had been visited by the school dental nurse within the past year. There were many displays for the children to explore, including dental surgery role play, learning about effective tooth brushing, discovering the huge amount of sugar in some foods and the negative effect it has on teeth, and looking at a range of animal skulls. We would like to thank the community dental awareness team for their help and effort in assisting us with our health education programme.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club The subject of our October meeting was a talk given by Sally Hepher on bees, or possibly the lack of them, and what to plant to encourage these vital creatures to our gardens, be it honey bees or wild bees. As everyone knows, some of our bumble bee varieties are already extinct and all types are suffering dramatic decline due to a mass of different problems from the dreaded varroa mite to predation from badgers, woodpeckers etc and the loss of habitat, not to memtion sprays of various kinds and monoculture in some places. “Improved”varieties of common cottage garden flowers are not helping as double, fancy and pom-pom varieties are useless to bees as they are unable to access either the pollen or nectar and with only a six week life span for worker bees, the hive or colony can quickly run short of food to feed successive generations. Yes, you can protect bee hives from woodpeckers and mice but badgers seem immune to the sting and will overturn hives and dig out bumble bees, I know as both these problems I have experienced. So the emphasis of our talk was on helping bees by growing the things they enjoy to feed on from early spring (bulbs) to late Autumn. Sally pointed out what a huge proportion fo the U.K. is comprised of our gardens giving us alll a chance to help these vital and beleagured creatures. If my memory serves me correctly, David Attenborough, a man not exactly lacking creditials, estimated that it would be an amazingly short time between the extinction of bees, somewhere around twenty or twentyfive years and the extinction of that arrogant species - homo sapien! It’s up to us gardeners, good luck ! Ruth Allen 822323.

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts During the last week I have been moving a garden path sideways, because most of it was underneath a yew hedge that I have grown to separate the vegetable patch from the mini orchard. I keep telling people that trees and shrubs like to grow in all directions, and that it is important not to plant them to close to boundary fences. If they are too close it spells trouble for your neighbour because particularly with evergreens they will not be able to clip it back to their boundary without ending up with a lot of bare wood on display, but in this case I was guilty myself. I grew the yew plants from seed, and when I planted the little seedlings 18 inches from the edge of the path I thought it would be alright, but I now have a very solid yew hedge 7 feet high, and the slabs need moving about 6 inches. The yew seed was sown in 1993, and it reached its design height of 7 feet several years ago. Although yew trees are slow growing given reasonable conditions they do not take too long to become an interesting bush, or a hedge. The Millenium Yew rooted in 2000 and planted in Hadleigh churchyard in 2004 is now about 6 feet tall. When I planted my mini orchard I decided that I would cover the ground with grass, but keep a circle about 6 feet in diameter around the dwarf trees as bare earth. In these circles I would plant Spring bulbs. This means that in the Spring I have had the beauty of both the fruit blossom and the bulbs. However after 10 years I have hit a problem. The grass is treated as a meadow rather than a lawn, and this has meant that a good area of the meadow is now covered with a carpet of cowslips in the Spring. Sadly it also means that a nasty weed called creeping thistle, and suckers from my boundary hedge have spread from the meadow into the bare circles. In order to get these under control I have had to dig up all the bulbs and move them elsewhere for this Winter. I hope to have them back next year. Weather Records In Kersey the rainfall was 103 mm (4.1") in August, and 49.8 mm (2") in September. So August was very wet, and September produced about average rainfall. Actually the August figure is probably an underestimate since Kersey missed a heavy storm which gave 14 mm (0.5") of rain in Hadleigh. The running 3 month figure is now 197 mm (7.8") which is a bit above average. It is going to have to rain hard in the next 3 months if we are going to reach average rainfall for the year. Currently to the end of September we have had 411 mm (16.2"). The maximum temperatures were 25 Cel (77F) for August, and 21 Cel (70 F) for September. The minimum temperatures were 7 Cel (45F) for August and 5 Cel (4 F) for September. The weather seems to be cooling down faster than usual this year. The August maximum was the lowest figure since I started collecting figures in 1999 and the September maximum was the lowest since 2001. Ground temperature in mid October was 10 Cel (50F), which is slightly lower than usual. Hints As the weather permits carry on with planting shrubs, fruit trees, and hedges, and overhauling borders. A start can be made on hedge trimming. I try to leave hedges carrying berries until later to give the birds a chance. In the vegetable patch rough dig any vacant space, and leave for the frost to break down. One can plant broad beans, hardy peas, and Japanese onion sets. If you grow cacti they should now be given their Winter rest with little or no water until the Spring. In my greenhouse the desert cacti will get none, and the forest ones like the Christmas cactus and the epiphylliums just a drop every 2 or three weeks. John Rye

Dear Sir Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
Dear Sir I arrived in Hadleigh on the 8th of November 1943 at the age of 0. At that time Hadleigh was a small town that had all that was needed. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s there were butchers, ‘proper’ bakers, grocery shops, flour mills, a drapers, toy shops, gentlemen’s outfitters, sweet shops, a watchmaker, stone mason, cinema, ironmongers, saddler, weekly livestock market and auctions, blacksmith, carpet factory, sailmakers, even a horsehair factory to name but a few. Then there was, of course, the Police, doctors and council officers who we knew, but more importantly, they knew us. If we erred from the straight and narrow Sargeant Cole would send you home with a ‘flea in your ear’, if you felt unwell Doctor “Eric” Newell or Doctor Barnes would administer your medical needs and if there was a problem with anything ‘council’ dear old “Sid” Brown would pull out the stops to help. The true people of Hadleigh, such as John Caley, will recognise names like Ted Pryke, Jimmy Hazell, John Forrester, Mr Lee, Mr Percy, Mrs Eastoe and Mrs Bethel Mitchell, but more importantly, he would have known these people. We still have have a very efficient surgery, a part time police station and of course, Babergh D.C, but, sadly due to ‘progress’ most of the businesses I have mentioned have now gone, some still survive albeit in a modern form. Whether we need a Tesco or not is of course a very topical question, but we do need an alternative to the Co-op. We used to have the International Stores, Eastoes and a Spar, now we have no choice if we want to shop in the town. To take a bus into Ipswich (10 miles distant) to shop was an adventure, nowadays it is a necessity if you want a choice. The one thing that we do NOT want are people claiming to have lived here for six weeks, or worse, not live here at all, telling us what to do, think, and where to go so Nicki Jayo if you don’t approve of true Hadleigh peoples thoughts and comments please move to where you can influence the locals, and Mr Hans Ooms, please keep checking then you will be able to make an informed decision as to wether to visit or not. And to anyone else who dosen’t like us, please feel free to leave, we don’t really mind at all. Sam Mitchell
Looking to do something different for the Winter? Do you remember enjoying a game of Table Tennis?

Why not come along for a friendly game. Just bring your “bat” to any of our meetings and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t played for a while - you’ll soon get it going again! Contact the Sec (Mick Talbot) on 01473 828145 for further information

I noted in the report of the Town Council Planning Committee minutes in the October issue that Cllr. Grutchfield had failed to notice the moving mountains of earth and the construction of a new access road that have been occurring over the summer on the development in Fullers Close. I feel sure this is indicative of something happening. But then, he, along with the rest of the Town Council and the Babergh Planning Officers may be suffering from a form of selective blindness due to excessive focus on Tesco applications rather than the development of a small site. As a result of this blindness we have a ludicrous situation where two almost parallel access roads have been constructed to join Fullers Close with the distance between the two being less than one metre at the junction. I am unaware of any other similar new development in the area. Good planning? How could the Town Council and Babergh planning officers be unaware of this if it were not for clouded vision? Mike Crisp
Dear Sir This letter is directed at Nicki Jayo, in answer to her letter in the October edition of the HCN. Are you some sort "Goody Goody Good Shoes" or some sort of Samaritan, to be able to ferry the many elderly people to Ipswich to do their shopping, where by now, many do get rides by relatives and friends, at present, how on earth will you be able to fit in all requirements, Get Real! You are not getting to the point, you are typical of many people who over the years have opposed our need for a further food outlet for this town, and most of you are newcomers to our town! That says a lot!! You are stepping on the wrong shoes here, as I have mention in the past, I have been here 70 years plus, living in Hadleigh, apart from 9 years in HM Royal Marines, this is my home, you have a long way to catch up to me, with your 6 weeks plus. Will you be taking flight when we do get the much needed Food Store. I have never Inflicted anything on Hadleigh, never have, never will, no one tells me how to conduct myself in this town, my Town. John Caley
Dear Sir It was with great interest that we have received a flyer from Tesco with pictures of the few people that actually want a new store in Hadleigh. I am not sure if it is to be used as we do with Pubwatch, in that identified nuisances are refused service? No doubt all Hadleigh retailers will send them on their way now we know who they are. So thanks Tesco very public spirited. Every Little Helps. Stephen Laing, The Queens Head Layham
Dear Sir I see the ‘TESCO’ Saga continues on its relentless and boring path, as it has done now for what must be a decade. Whatever the final out come and I don’t personally give a damn one way or the other, there are certain comments in your correspondence section that are not only unpleasant, but unwelcome. Mr Keeble is quite right when he says “Leave Hadleigh to the local people” and it is a pity that the recent new arrival from Essex doesn’t follow the same example and not have the audacity to be downright offensive to Mr Caley, a long term Hadleigh resident and a Marines Veteran. Why should he move, or for that matter why should he ‘shop on line’. He has the same right to an opinion as anyone else whatever his views on the proposed development. I can only assume that this person has perhaps been ‘got at’ by the Anti Brigade who have waged a well orchestrated campaign over a long period of time, but then most of us are familiar with the expression about ‘empty vessels making the most noise’. On the Car sharing side, there are certain problems from an insurance point of view that need to be considered, before such a venture is undertaken. Finally, are we really worried whether or not Mr Ooms visits Hadleigh ever again. I don’t suppose his contributions to our town welfare amount to a great deal. His comments are like his contribution, of little significance. Come on Babergh, make your mind up and do something positive for a change and let us get shot of this boring saga, whatever the final outcome. Keith Doidge

Jerry’s Diary The last few days of September saw some migration for some species of birds flying over the area. Flocks of Meadow Pipits, Blackbirds, Skylarks, Goldcrests and good numbers of Song Thrush were seen between Hintlesham Wood and Tower Mill Lane. 100+ Swallows and 100+ Housemartins were feeding over Hintlesham Woods in the early evening on 30th September. A pair of late swifts were over the top of Angel Street on 28th September. Two Hobby’s were mobbing a Common Buzzard over Raydon Wood, and Hobby were catching daddy long legs near Aldham Church on 25th September. Whimbrels could be heard calling their rapid 7 notes whistle over Water Lane, Kersey on the 26th August. Whimbrels are a species of wader, like a Curlew but smaller and much less common with a few pairs in Scotland. On the 2nd October, walking back from Ramsey Wood, Hintlesham, I heard and saw my first Ring Ouzels of the year, 2 birds came out from a hedge that I was walking along. And 40 yards further along 5 more flew out from the hedge. Seven Ring Ouzels together in this area is a good number. I did see 4 birds together in Withermarsh Green on April 18th 2007. Ring Ouzels are naturally shy birds but can turn up in gardens. The recent heavy rain and gusty NE/SE winds probably grounded these migrant Ouzels. Their origin is most likely Fenno-Scandia (Scandinavian). If I didn’t know the call of the Ring Ouzel, they could easily have been overlooked, as it was almost dusk, with fine drizzle falling. The call (to my ear) is more like the Fieldfare than the Blackbird. Redwings were first heard calling as they passed overhead on the Night of 7th October. Fieldfares, just 2 birds near Aldham on 9th October and 50+ on the 15th at Ivytree Lane. A report of a Yellow Browed Warbler in Sycamore trees just behind Hadleigh Swimming Pool on 17th October. I only saw Goldcrests when I looked for this rare visitor. Jerry Oxford
Volunteers needed Do you like to keep fit or would you be interested in helping those less able to do so. We are looking for volunteers who could work alongside our staff during sessions for people with disabilities or long term health conditions. It could be something simple like counting for them if they have been told to do a set number of moves, or maybe to programme the exercise machine or help put their feet onto bike pedals. It is quite a social and enjoyable atmosphere and would enable us to accommodate more people than we currently do. If you have some spare time, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Friday mornings at Hadleigh or Mondays and Fridays at East Bergholt, then please contact us.

Hadleigh Utd Under 8’s Hadleigh United under 8’s first season in football is very much up and running now after a very busy September and October. The boys in both the A and the B teams have consistently put in great performances and have had many excellent, well-deserved results, due to the hard work they put in every week and their good attitude. The fixture list has thrown in quite a few away games early in the season, so we would like to thank the parents and supporters who continually come to support the team and provide the transport to get the lads to and from the matches. From Saturday November 6th, we are at home (Layham Road) for 5 out of the following 6 weeks, so we won’t be clocking up too many miles this month!! Now the nights have drawn in, we have moved training to the Hadleigh High School indoor sports hall on a Thursday night from 6-7pm. There is always a good turn out from the boys at training, and we hope this continues throughout the winter. At our recent home match with Whitton United, it was good to see one of our main sponsors, Daniel Oakes, in attendance. Dan kindly provided the funds to buy the tracksuit tops for the boys to wear, and he is shown pictured with the boys. He commented on the team’s vast improvement from when he last saw them play back in July. Ben and Darren, Management team – Hadleigh Utd under 8’s

Sunday 26th September saw this years 'Run to the Beat' half marathon. Starting and finishing at the O2 in London, the course took runners through the Royal Arsenal, on to Greenwich Park and through Woolwich. With 14 music stages along the course, it made for a memorable day. Sibling rivalry was to the fore as she competed against her sister Esther, whose idea it was to enter. Being the first time that Connie has ever taken part in this kind of event, she chose to run for the British Heart Foundation. She would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sponsored her. (The icing on the cake........... she crossed the finishing line before Esther!)

Clive followed the same loop but then did an additional 13 miles to finish in just over 3 hours, not a personal best but a 25 minute improvement from 2009 where plagued by injury he collapsed across the finish line! Well done to you both. DEDHAM 10K & 2.2K FUN RUN This popular run, set in beautiful Constable Country on the Essex / Suffolk border, was run on a very wet Sunday morning on 26th of September.

Hadleigh’s fine day at Woodbridge Festival
Hadleigh Under 11s celebrate tournament win Three teams from Hadleigh RFC Youth and Minis section made the most of the glorious autumn sunshine as they collected two trophies at the Woodbridge Rugby Development Festival. The event, hugely expanded after a successful first year in 2009, showcases junior clubs from across the region, including Cambridge, Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. Hadleigh showed they can more than hold their own in this company, as the Under 11s shared the tournament finalists Cup, whilst the Under 10s collected a Silver Plate award and the Under 9s finished as runners-up in their Plate competition. Under 11s: Group Matches: Hadleigh 2 Southwold 0, Hadleigh 2 Colchester 0, Hadleigh 3 Woodbridge 0, Hadleigh 2 Cambridge 1 Cup Final: Hadleigh 0 Bury St Edmunds 0 The Under 11s set their stall out early with a 2-0 victory against Southwold, Louis Breyer touching down in each half to ensure Hadleigh put points on the board. Hadleigh replicated this score against Colchester in the second match, but were made to work a good deal harder for the victory, the pack driving well to peg Colchester deep into their own half for much of the game. In the third game, Hadleigh made short work of

hosts Woodbridge, tries from Breyer (2) and Baker securing a 3-0 win. Hadleigh ensured their table-topping position with a 2-1 victory over Cambridge, deft handling by Harry Tabberer and determined running from Sam Clements setting up captain Andrew Halls for the opening try. Hadleigh's unbeaten progress set up a final against Bury St Edmunds, who topped their group with four straight wins. The match quickly developed into an attritional affair dominated by the forwards, with little space for the backs of either side to run through. Hadleigh battled gamely to force Bury into their own half, and with seconds to go Alex Spooner appeared to have broken the deadlock as he shook off several tackles and hared towards the Bury line, only to be knocked into touch at the corner flag by last-gasp Bury defending. The match ended in a 0-0 stalemate, both teams sharing the trophy under tournament rules. Under 10’s: Group Games: Hadleigh 3 Southwold 1, Hadleigh 1, Colchester 1, Hadleigh 5 Cambridge 1, Hadleigh 0 Bury St Edmunds 0 Slumbering Hadleigh got an early wake-up call as Southwold opened the scoring in the first match. Hadleigh were again slow out of the blocks, Colchester scoring first and holding Hadleigh attacks at bay until Thomas Cleave equalised following a fine passing move. Against Cambridge, the two sides appeared evenly matched until Hadleigh broached the Cambridge defence with minutes to go until half-time. The try seemed to unsettle Cambridge, and Hadleigh went on to score four more before the interval with Braybrooke, Farthing, Cleave, Oliver Graham and Henry Bezant all touching down. Cambridge regained some compsure after half-time but could manage no more than a single consolation try. Hadleigh built on their free-flowing rugby against Bury St Edmunds, although the final group match failed to produce any score. PLATE FINAL Hadleigh 7 Stowmarket 2 Hadleigh saved their best til last, over-running a shell-shocked Stowmarket side. Cleave, Bezant, Farthing and Oscar Farrow (2) all got on the score sheet, but it was Jacob Marston who most caught the eye with an unstoppable run the length of the pitch to score the first of a brace of tries which put the game beyond Stowmarket’s reach. Under 9s: Group Games, Hadleigh 1 Southwold 2, Hadleigh 3 Colchester 1, Hadleigh 3 Bury St Edmunds 2, Plate final Hadleigh 0 Woodbridge 6. Hadleigh Under 9s first taste of competitive contact rugby was against a well-drilled Southwold side whose mobile pack ensured early domination. Following an early Southwold try, Ryan Ellis showed exceptional pace to put Hadleigh on the scoreboard; the game appeared to be heading for a draw until Southwold touched down at the death to make it 2-1. Against Colchester, the team showed the benefits of direct running with Luca Beadle breaking tackles to score, then adding to his tally through finding space on the wing. Oliver Jervois added another by running from the back of the scrum to score in the far corner before Beadle added a third to ensure a 3-1 win. In the third match, Bury St Edmunds showed greater determination to contest the close exchanges, but direct running from Beadle and Ellis(2), combined with Hadleigh's strong defence to secure a 3-2 win. Hadleigh's performance ensured they were in the Plate final, though they appeared overawed by some fast direct running from Woodbridge who breached the defence at will. In the second half,Hadleigh showed great resilience and determination led by Harry Green and Ollie Webb especially, who both carried the ball out of defence well; Harry Wheeler-Brand and Alex Watts also showed great ball-handling skills. In the end Woodbridge were outright winners 6-0.

Hadleigh United Football Club
Hadleigh Tyre Group
Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd. www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh Uniteds hopes of a good run in the FA Vase were ended at Gorleston where the Norfolk side came out on top by the only goal of a fine contest. The vital goal came midway through the second half from a penalty kick. Hadleigh had reached this stage of the competition by beating Yaxley and Swaffham in previous rounds. In the Ridgeons League Cup there was an upset as Hadleigh lost by two goals to one against old rivals Stowmarket at the Millfield. A goal by Ben Deacon gave Hadleigh a half time lead but they lost the advantage in the second half. There was better luck in the Suffolk Premier Cup when Debenham were beaten at the Millfield. New signing Josh Mayhew scored in the first period while old favourite Craig Payne increased the lead in the second half. Debenham scored from a penalty kick to make the final score a win for Hadleigh by two goals to one. In league matches a great win by five goals to nil was the outcome of a superb performance at home to Newmarket. Three early goals gave Hadleigh the advantage and they added another couple later in the game. Craig Payne scored twice with others from Liam Jennings, Ben Deacon and Ollie Canfer. Our keeper Aaron Benstead saved a penalty in the first half. The next league match resulted in a four goal beating at Dereham on a cold windy day in Norfolk. That was followed by another defeat when missed chances proved costly at home to Ely City when we were beaten two goals to one. Ben Deacon gave us a half time lead but our visitors made the most of their fewer chances and they even missed a penalty kick when Aaron Benstead made a great save just before the end. Benstead missed the trip to Kirkley because of a back injury so Nathan Gleeson was between the posts. The game ended with four goals being shared with Josh Mayhew and Daryl Alexander on target for Hadleigh. Gleeson had a superb game to keep Hadleigh on level terms against championship contenders. The Reserves beat Haverhill by six goals to two at the Millfield with Josh Mayhew scoring twice. Other scorers were Kieran Dilloway, Chris Leyes, Daryl Alexander and Jamie Cowan. An away match at Long Melford was won by three goals to two thanks to a penalty being saved by keeper Liam Heffer-Thorpe. Goal scorers were Scott Welton, Franco Mallardo and Jason Curtis from the penalty spot. The game at Stanway Reserves saw goals from Patrick Armstrong and Kieron Dilloway give Hadleigh Reserves another win by two goals to nil. The game against Brantham Reserves at the Millfield was won by the visitors with a solitary goal scored early in the second half. Our Ridgeons Youth team shared six goals at Wivenhoe with Franco Mallardo getting two and Callum Smith also hitting the target. A home match against Felixstowe saw our youth team win by seven goals to three with Patrick Armstrong netting a hattrick and Mallardo grabbing two more. Harry Evens and Ethan Richards scored the other two goals. A cup match against Whitton earned us a win by three goals to one. Jack Gage was on target along with Armstrong and Mallardo. Another cup encounter at Leiston ended four two in Hadleigh favour. Manager Mick Payne reckoned it was our best display of the season at youth level. Callum Smith scored two and there was one apiece for Franco Mallardo and Deasko Garner. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were, Jim Leys, Peter Hutchings and Rolf Beggerow. Terry Adams
Fixtures Hadleigh United’s first team begin November’s games at home to Kirkley on Saturday 6th.

The players, Management and Supporters (Parents) of Hadleigh United Under 14’s Football Team are grateful to Mekin Erol and his team at ‘HUFFERS CAFE and RESTAURANT’ for sponsoring their football kit for the 2010/11 season. Mekin came forward with the offer, after one of the players (Dec Lee) approached him and asked “Can you sponsor my football team?” After a few meetings with team Manager Neil Henderson the deal was done. Mekin has made it clear that he and the Huffer’s staff are happy to do this for children in the local community and are happy to be associated with Hadleigh Utd FC. In today’s financial climate, this is truly a great gesture by a High Street Business and for this, we thank you. With new kit and a new assistant Manager, Andy Crisp, the team has made a great start to the season. At the time of writing the Team is sitting on top of the Ipswich and Suffolk Youth Football League Under 14’s Division 2. The Team has played 4 matches and scored 14 goals conceding only 3. Unfortunately 2 of the conceded goals came in the same match that resulted in a 2-1 loss. The Team has put in some hard training and the rewards are being reaped for the sweat and effort given. Results So Far: - Stowmarket 1, HUFC 3, HUFC 1, Walsham Le Willows 2, Somersham 0, HUFC 4, HUFC 6, Barons Youth 0.
