The Cedric Morris Florilegium Hadleigh welcomed 20 of the country’s leading national and international contemporary botanical illustrators, who descended on Shelley during the flowering season, to paint an illustrated catalogue of Morris’s prized iris’s.

The collection of irises is grown by Sarah Cook, who was awarded a Gold Medal at Chelsea 2015 for her outstanding display. Cllr Dr Sian Dawson is spearheading the project dedicated to his memory is keen that this legacy will be gifted to the people of Hadleigh. ‘There are few Florilegiums around the world and all artists wanted to participate in this unique and colourful project. It is planned the complete collection of 28 iris paintings will be submitted for exhibition to the Royal Horticultural Society in 2017, followed by a display in Hadleigh to celebrate the Year of the Garden. I trust this cultural legacy will draw people to the town, boost the local economy and play a significant part in our cultural heritage’.

Members of the project include Anne-Marie Evans who chaired the Highgrove Florilegium for Prince Charles, the President of the Floral Society of Painters Jenny Jowett, Chair of the botanical judges for the RHS Gillian Barlow, as well as 8 RHS Gold Medallist and 10 Silver Gilt Medallists.

The artists spent the day painting the collection in Sarah Cooks garden followed by a magnificent afternoon tea courtesy of Mr and Mrs Reid at Overbury Hall, who welcomed the artists and ladies from the Women’s Institute, who very reliably brought a wonderful collection of cakes. Each artist was a given a sample iris of the flower they have chosen to paint to take away and were hugely appreciative of the welcome they received.

Marathon man breaks £10,000 for children’s cancer charity A man who lost eight stone in less than a year following his father’s death has now raised more than £10,000 for children with cancer. Over the past four years Adrian Stohr, 40, of Sudbury, has raised the money via a number of fundraising events. Mr Stohr has run the London Marathon for the past four years and the Great North Run in 2014 and 2015. He has also held two charity balls, including one earlier this month which raised an additional £2,455.

Just weeks after his father’s death from a diabetic condition in 2012, Mr Stohr was diagnosed as clinically obese and warned he could die if he didn’t change his lifestyle. The warning sparked Mr Stohr to embark on a punishing exercise and diet schedule which saw him lose eight stone in weight. His remarkable transformation saw him complete the London Marathon in April 2013. Mr Stohr’s story captured the imagination of the media and the BBC has featured his training and fundraising activities on a number of occasions.

Once achieving his weight lose aims Mr Stohr decided who wanted to raise money for a good cause, and as a father of three, decided to raise money Children with Cancer UK. Mr Stohr said: “I am so pleased to have broken the £10,000 mark which was my aim when I started my fundraising activities. The latest ball at the Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa was a fantastic success and was attended by more than 100 people. We raised £900 alone from a raffle with prizes donated from business around the Sudbury area, so a big thank you goes to them.

“My aim now is to continue my fundraising activities and see where it takes me.

I have already started planning for the next charity ball in 2017, which will be the biggest and best yet.”

St Elizabeth Hospice is inviting people to dedicate a beautiful sunflower emblem to remember someone special this summer with the return of their Sunflower Memories appeal. The name of loved ones no longer with us will be written on the sunflower emblems which will then be displayed in sunny yellow wheelbarrows in the hospice’s garden in return for a donation. The sunflowers will be on display from Sunday 14 August, and anyone is welcome to come along and see the display of sunflowers and take time to reflect on memories.

Pauline Donkin, St Elizabeth Hospice’s fundraising development manager, said: “Once again, this summer, anyone is welcome to make a donation and dedicate a sunflower in memory of a loved one, whether they have been cared for by the hospice or not.

“Our glorious garden will host hundreds of little sunflowers, creating a sea of colour, displaying the names of loved ones who are no longer with us. “All the money raised from the donations for the sunflowers will go towards providing vital care and support to more than 2,000 patients and their families every year.” The preview day held on Sunday 14 August, from 2pm – 4pm, will be held at the hospice in Foxhall Road, and will include ambient music from Scintillo Quartet and refreshments.

The sunflowers will remain on display until 31 August 2016 for patients, families, volunteers, staff and visitors to enjoy. The sunflowers will then be available to collect from the hospice reception until 30 September 2016.

Last year’s Sunflower Memories appeal raised more than 12,000 and it is hoped that this year will be just as successful.

To find out more and to dedicate a sunflower, visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/sunflowers or call 01473 723600.

The inaugural Hadleigh Soapbox Race is coming this September!

Remember whizzing down a hill at a gazillion miles an hour? Want an Adrenalin rush to get your season started?

Has your bucket list got an unticked box against it? or Are your up for a Challenge to impress your closest buddies?

If so, read on... Hadleigh RFC is inviting all comers to enter the Hadleigh Soapbox race. If you have your own or can build one before the 11th September, brilliant. If not, the Club are going to offer a number of Hill Ready Gravity Flyers that you can cling onto for the duration. The course will be on the Holbeck Hills, with a number of different categories - including, we hope, a Veterans Voom-Voom-Voom.

Being led by First team Captain, Oli Beckerlegge, the event will be run on a long Sunday afternoon, with spectators welcome: 'We want our Season to be at a flying start, so what better way than to race pell-mell down the hill closest to our home pitch.' As the inaugural race, we will have a minimum age of 14 and - as with all Karting events - participants will have to agree a disclaimer (parental permission for under 18s). Ainger Holbrow are signed up as one of our sponsors and we'd like other organisations to get involved too.

To get an application form and/or for more details, contact: Jonathan on 07545 545744 or by email jmoore.suffolk@gmail.com

What can be better than enjoying a picnic and watching some fantastic open air theatre on a balmy summer’s evening?

Boxtree productions, A Boxford based company, are producing family musical versions of; ‘Around The World In 80 Days’ and ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’. This is a national theatre tour which is coming to some splendid local venues.

James and Abi Franklin, co-founders of Boxtree Productions invite people to join them for an evening of fantastic open air theatre. They are coming to some really lovely local venues such as Layer Marney Tower, Stonham Barns and Hedingham Castle. James and Abi have been professional actors for over ten years, they have toured the world but made their home in Suffolk six years ago. Abi says; “we were looking to live near London but we were enchanted by the beauty of Boxford and Suffolk.” James adds; ‘We set up the theatre company because we wanted to tell good stories that will engage, enthral and excite audiences, whatever their age.”

Abi says; “I like to create visually exciting and slick productions that will be great value for money, so we strike a good relationship with our audiences and they look forward to seeing our shows year after year.”

James and Abi are really looking forward to bringing their shows to the local area and would love to see you at one of the venues.

The Scarlet Pimpernel will be coming to: • Holkham Hall, Wells-Next-The-Sea – 17th August – 6:15pm • Hedingham Castle, Halstead – 24th August – 6pm • Stonham Barns, Stowmarket – 26th August – 6:30pm Around The World In 80 Days will be coming to: • Stonham Barns, Stowmarket – 19th August – 6:30pm • Layer Marney Tower, Colchester – 29th August – 6:30pm For more information and to book tickets for these spectacular shows please visit: www.boxtreeproductions.co.uk

6th Annual Art Exhibition Lavenham Art Society will be holding their 6th Annual Art Exhibition At Lavenham Church from the 20th- 29th August. Open from 9am-6pm Monday to Saturday and from 12-6 pm on Sundays. Admission Free. Disabled access available. Parking in the Village Hall car park opposite.

Hadleigh Footpath Volunteers A group of 12 came along for the July walk. We had been worried that the wet weather we experienced during our recce would make the walk very muddy and wet. Fortunately we had a dry spell before the day which turned out very warm, so the Queen’s Head in Lower Layham proved to be a welcome stopover a mile or two before the end.

For the August walk on Saturday 13th we will catch the bus to Hintlesham then walk via Lower Barn Cottages, Washbrook Street, Coles Green Farm, Chattisham Hall and back to Hintlesham for the bus back to Hadleigh - a distance of 7 miles. Those feeling energetic can walk back to Hadleigh a further 4.6 or 6.3 miles depending on the route we select on the day. We will meet to catch the 0940 bus towards Ipswich (Co-op side) and alight in Hintlesham. Those catching the bus to return should make the 1333 from outside the George. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs.

Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground can be muddy and rough in places. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site.

For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us at hadleighwalkers@gmail.com or contact Mike Keeling on 01473 823328 or 0785 895 5678.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre Well, its August and the Centre’s clients are resting. I’m thankful to report that with 11 horses and ponies here this summer a noble band of volunteers keeps coming along to poo pick and care for the live animals and see that all is well.

But me and Babs? We are behind closed doors so I can’t report on much this month.

What better person to share the page with me than HRH the Princess Royal? Did you know that Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby, and RDA (that’s us) has launched a new charity initiative? In preparation for RDA’s 50th anniversary in 2019, Wooden Spoon has pledged to help the RDA fund a team of horses across the UK. RDA is experiencing a growing demand for services amongst older children and needs to increase the number of bigger horses (my sort of size you see) at its centres.

Wooden Spoon aims to help fill this gap. HRH, The Princess Royal, who is Royal Patron of both charities said: “I am particularly pleased as this exciting initiative combines two of my big passions, horses and rugby.” Good for you M’am.

STOP PRESS: news from the Shelley Fun Dog Show just in: a great time was had by all on July 9th at the Centre and the weather was kind to us. We were delighted to welcome 81 dogs and their families here even though Parys had to give up her field for the whole day. Look how it was transformed into a real showground!

We start up again on September 5th and the first event is our Long Distance Ride on Sunday 11th September. See you then!

Thank you so much Angel Delights Everyone at the Alison Fracella Research Trust would like to say a sincere thank you to Helen Golland (the angel at Angel Delights!) for everything she did to make our Cream Tea event on June 26th so successful and enjoyable.

Special thanks also to her team of her daughter Charlotte, Jo and Becca for all their help on the afternoon. A big thank you to Helen’s husband Simon for printing the tickets and posters for us. The colourful bunting (thank you so much Ruth) Helen’s vintage china and cake-stands added to the occasion and everyone said that they had a wonderful time. Helen’s scones (freshly made by her that morning) laden with her home-made jam and clotted cream were a real treat. Thank you so much to everyone who made cakes for us to sell during the afternoon. Helen, so kindly and so generously, donated all the ticket money to our cause. After expenses we made £749 which is a fantastic amount. Every penny will go to the Royal Marsden Hospital where the Trust is supporting brain tumour research. A huge thank you to Helen, to Sue and Roy, to Carol and Neil and to Emma for all their hard work and to everyone who came and gave us such generous support. Thank you all very much.

Howard on The Orwell Hello dear Readers: my friend Eric Bauly so well known in the local classic car world celebrated his Seventieth Birthday in June. My mother and I were delighted to join his party on board the cruiser Allen Gardiner as it made its passage along the River Orwell. What an exciting thing to do. The boat has an illustrious history dating from the Second World War. We had an enjoyable dinner; there was a fabulous Rolls-Royce birthday cake and we saw the sun set. I am captured in the picture with the Orwell Bridge glowing behind me. My chauffeur Frank drew up in front of Colchester Town Hall to deliver me for a wonderful organ recital given by Peter Crompton, Organist Emeritus of Royal Hospital School at Holbrook. I bet that few of you have been to the Moot Hall that spans the top of the Town Hall dating from 1896 and decorated in exquisite panels and such like. It is really worth a visit. The Town Hall has been described as one of the most exuberant and confident municipal buildings in the Country. The Norman and Beard Organ stands in all its splendour ready to speak to the Hall. It was a great way to spend a lunchtime and for owner drivers parking is available behind Williams & Griffin. Frank’s cherries have ripened and are almost dropping off. They’ve been enjoyed with cream, in pies and Maria has lined a shelf in her pantry with jars of jam.

Frank was pressed into service for one or two longer runs to include a visit to Headcorn Aerodrome near Ashford in Kent. What a busy and bustling runway. We were even treated to the arrival of a Spitfire and a Hurricane which had dropped in for re-fuelling en route to the open day at Heaveningham Hall. We boarded a Lear Jet to whisk us back and left Frank to fight his way through the traffic.

We have had several instances recently where good clients and their relatives have suffered unexpected serious illnesses so that they are unable to run their affairs. All the resulting problems would have been overcome if a Lasting Power of Attorney had been in place. Just like making a Will, it is one of those things that you should have in place. We can deal with these matters for you and so do arrange to come to see me. Now that the political machine appears to be on an even keel again and as we come to the end of the Summer holidays, I am expecting to see buoyancy in the property market. It makes sense for you to contact us at an early stage so that arrangements can be dealt with for your sale or purchase.

Shakespeare’s Villains with Ron Marks Stoke-by-Nayland WEA presents a series of 9 Lectures starting on Thursday 29th September 2016 in Stoke-by-Nayland Village Hall at 7.30 pm. This is a 9 week topical illustrated course exploring Shakespeare’s insights into how “one may smile, and smile, and be a villain”, a scheming ‘Machiavel’, “bloody, bawdy” and eternally fascinating to audiences!

What makes and motivates a Shakespearian villain? What unleashes violence and cruelty in the plays? Ambition and political intrigue – sibling rivalry – jealousy – obsession and the impulse to revenge: all these issues will be explored through lecture, discussion and video clips of scenes from the plays.

What have Shakespeare’s psychological insights still to say to our own age?

Ron Marks has taught English Literature for over 50 years now, in Essex comprehensive and grammar schools and abroad and for the WEA for the last ten years. In 2010 he gained an M.A. in Shakespeare and Theatre from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Hadleigh’s Cloth-Trade Trail: A Guided Walk Around A Suffolk Town Now the sunshine has eventually arrived, why not follow this trail around the streets of Hadleigh that features sites connected with the woollen-cloth industry, which brought prosperity to Hadleigh from the 14th to the 17th centuries. From documentary evidence, 43 locations have been identified as being the homes of clothiers or weavers or the sites of woad houses for dyeing, watermills for fulling and tenter yards where cloth was stretched as part of the finishing process. Compiled by Sue Andrews, this 24 page booklet includes a brief introduction to the industry and its processes, a map and directions for a circular tour around the streets of the town as well as details of each location and its connection with the industry. Les Selby has contributed colour photographs of many of the places featured and older scenes of Hadleigh have come from Hadleigh Archive.

Open air theatre returns to Monks Eleigh A Midsummer Nights Dream - Cobbolds Mill, Monks Eleigh IP7 7JB Saturday 17 September at 4.00pm Garden Gate opens 2.30 Following the performance of ‘Robin Hood’ two years ago, Illyria will this year present an uncut version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ as written by Shakespeare and performed, scholars advise us, very much in the style he intended. Illyria is well known for its productions over the last twenty five years at home and abroad. The actors use no amplification – props and scenery are kept to a minimum – and they rely on the interaction they create with their open air audiences to develop the drama. This certainly was achieved when ‘Robin Hood’ came to Monks Eleigh.

‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ will surely make a most entertaining September afternoon. Proceeds are in aid of St Mary’s Church, Kettlebaston.

Tickets: louise.cobboldsmill@talktalk.net 01449741429 SAE please. Cheques payable to Kettlebaston PCC Or illyria.uk.com (£1.95 per transaction) Adults £15.00 Child 5-16 £10.00 Family of 4 £40.00 Please bring your own seating/rug, warm clothes and a picnic if you would like to.

JAMES CARTLIDGE MP Serving the people of South Suffolk

This certificate is funded by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) for the purpose of assisting James Cartlidge MP in the performance of his Parliamentary duties. Printed by Keith Avis, 68 High St, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF.

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk What a month it's been: we have voted in a referendum; received the resignation of our Prime Minister; undertaken a leadership contest; chosen our second female Prime Minister and completed a substantial government reshuffle. Interesting times indeed!

Although I was disappointed about the result of the referendum, I am delighted that we now have a strong leader and a stable government who are well placed to negotiate the terms of the UK's exit from the EU and to carve out our new position in the world. I supported Theresa May's leadership campaign from the beginning and have every faith that she will be an excellent Prime Minister.

Away from the whirlwind of distractions in Westminster, my work in the constituency has continued. I recently held a 'leafgate' summit in Sudbury with senior representatives from Abellio Greater Anglia, Network Rail and the Department for Transport. We were joined by John Curley, a rail resilience expert, who had been commissioned to investigate how leaf fall caused the Gainsborough line (from Sudbury to Marks Tey) to shut down for 13 days last autumn. Mr Curley outlined the unique circumstances that had led to the buildup of leaf mulch on local branch lines, and Abellio and Network Rail outlined their plans to ensure that the same thing does not occur again this year. After the meeting we all took the Gainsborough line to Marks Tey to discuss ongoing issues on this and the mainline.

I am pleased to announce that there have been a number of developments in the campaign for improved mobile signal in South Suffolk with pre-application conversations about new masts happening in Boxford and Glemsford, whilst Vodafone recently launched 4G mobile in Sudbury.

Back in Parliament we held a high profile debate about renewing Trident. I argued that nuclear weapons are the most hideous human invention but that paradoxically they have given us the most beautiful thing - peace, if not from of all conflict, at least in terms of us avoiding a hideous World War 3 that I believe would have been inevitable in the latter half of the 20th century, without the deterrent in place. As I said, interesting times.

Sudbury Dramatic Society Bazaar and Rummage

Local and Nationwide Deliveries

Comedy and pathos go hand in hand in the next production from Sudbury Dramatic Society based at The Quay Theatre, Bazaar and Rummage by Sue Townsend which is on at The Quay from Tuesday 6th until Saturday 10th September at 7.45pm. Sue Townsend, author of the very popular Adrian Mole books, has crafted the funny and moving story of three severely agoraphobic women who, as part of a self-help group who have never met, have left their homes for the first time in years, and made it to a London church hall to run a rummage sale, organised by trainee Social Worker Fliss and ex-agoraphobic volunteer Gwenda.

However, as the afternoon progresses, the distinction between the carers and the cared for becomes less and less clear. But by the time they leave it is apparent that although their agoraphobia is by no means cured but they have at least made a start.

Bazaar and Rummage was first staged in 1982 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London. With an all female cast, the SDS production is set very firmly in the 1980s and contains some strong language and adult humour Tickets for Bazaar and Rummage are on sale now from The Quay Theatre Box Office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.com

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

Waterfield House Grays Close, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 6AG

If you came to our Annual Open Day on 31st July you know more about it than me at time of writing. Obviously Kelvin cannot hold the press, even for me, but I can tell you our volunteers enjoyed meeting some of you at the Shelley Fun Dog Show last month. The RDA kindly invited us to have a stand promoting SESAW and the ladies were busy talking to people most of the time.

During the busy weeks prior to our big event we were grateful for the help offered by the willing girls and boys from Purina. Many hands made light work of erecting marquees and sprucing up the kennels ready for our happiest day of the year. Another good day in July was the Long Melford Street Fair. I’ve heard lots of people say it was a great day and nearly £600 was raised on the SESAW tables which is absolutely terrific!

We would also like to thank all the generous people who leave food at various locations in Ipswich, Hadleigh and Sudbury. Mum was very glad to see lots of kitten food and cat litter coming in when it was most needed. Your kind donations should keep us going through August which is usually quiet. If you are planning to visit us during the holiday period, it’s best to check in case we are closed. What with all the Open Day enquiries to follow up and people going away, the only one available to see you might be me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua!

The Hadleigh Ram becomes a Dementia friendly Restaurant Dementia has become increasingly common as a condition that has affected people for many years however it is only latterly the condition has been more in the public eye. Dementia affects many individual and families alike, especially when confronted by a change in environment, such as a bar, restaurant or hotel and because of this can be a deterrent for those living with dementia and their families going out, for fear of embarrassment or rejection.

In order to help people live well with dementia and encourage them to continue normal life, Stuart Inns in collaboration with Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance, arranged for their front of house staff to attend dementia friends information session so they can offer the required standard of service when necessary.

Having undergone the necessary Dementia training provided by Hadleigh Dementia Friends we are very pleased to announce The Hadleigh Ram became a Dementia friendly restaurant on Saturday 2nd July 2016, the first Dementia Friendly restaurant in Hadleigh, Suffolk.

Lorna Pissarro commenting on the award said – “with dementia now more understood by people it is important we at Stuart Inns and our staff do all we can to meet the expectations of customers who may suffer from this condition and make them and their families feel even more welcome when in unfamiliar surroundings.”

Tracey Loynds, Chair of the HDAA said – “we are delighted that Stuart Inns and the team at the Ram agreed to become the first dementia friendly restaurant in Hadleigh. Every time a new business signs up to the Alliance, we move one step closure to making Hadleigh a dementia friendly community.

Bildeston Primary School Learning and Growing Together French Theatre Production A professional french theatre company came into school to perform Portmanteau, “a fantastical, theatrical, cinematical” which helped us celebrate our French Day. The children from reception through to year 3 were entranced through the whole production. The children entered into a 1940’s travelling cinema and were totalling amused by the antics of ‘Jack’ the hero, ‘Melody’ the heroine and of course the baddy, ‘Baddie, McBad’.

Bikeability Our year 5 pupils were able to take part in the Bikeability course which was provided by “Freewheel Cycle Training”, a provider of cycle safety training which is approved by Suffolk County Council and run here very successfully each year. All of the children enjoyed learning about how to ride their bike safely.

Father’s Day Lunch On 16/17 June we held our Father’s Day lunches which were extremely well supported. Key stage 2 Dad’s sat down to a delicious lunch. After lunch exercise was a must to get rid of some of those calories; so a football match was the obvious answer. Dads, sons and daughters all took part and they all had great fun!

Reading Café KS1 On Friday 1st July Bee and Owl Class held their second Reading Café.

At their last reading café children and parents voted for the author or book they wanted in today’s event. Julia Donaldson was the clear winner!

Parents/carers had a chance to find out about a wide range of her books and some ideas that could be used when reading books at home. Adults and pupils also had a variety of reading, writing and art craft activities which they could take part in.

Bradfield Woods Our year 3 and 4 pupils were fortunate to have the opportunity to attend four Forest School sessions at Bradfield Woods over the last two terms.

These sessions were for the whole day and involved learning about the trees and animals of the forest as well as practical forest skills. The sessions were very successful and they thoroughly enjoyed their outdoor learning.

Quad Kids Ten of our year 5/6 pupils attended the annual ‘Quad Kids’ festival, held at Northgate Sports Arena on Wednesday 15 June. They had to rotate around four different activities: 600 Metres, Standing Long Jump, 75 Metres & Vortex Howler. They also had to represent a country other than their own and we chose South Africa as this is part of our curriculum studies this term. The children had ribbons, stickers and a flag to show off their country as they all paraded around the arena with over 1000 children taking part. The children had a wonderful time! One of our children achieved a bronze award over the four events!

FARM TRAIL

by Neil Norman

Meteors August is the month for you if you love seeing shooting stars as this is the time of the peak activity of the Perseid meteor shower, caused by the Earth passing through the orbital plane of a comet discovered back in the 1840's called Swift/Tuttle. This year we have a full moon just 6 days after the event (on the nights of August 12th and 13th), so there will be some interference from the Moon, but this year could see a increase in meteors seen , so that may very well negate this. You will see up to 60 meteors an hour weather permitting if you look in the general direction of the North-East at around 22.30 BST and after.

Now, I've talked about meteor showers before but never told you what the different colours you may see represent.

The colours would be as follows; Red = Nitrogen/Oxygen.

Yellow = Iron.

Purple = Calcium.

Orange = Sodium.

Green = Magnesium.

These colours are due to the relative influence of the metallic content of the meteoroid versus the super-heated air plasma. So as each layer of the sandsized piece of dust burns up high above our heads, a new layer is revealed and this process continues until the particle evaporates. As comets are made of a multitude of different elements, you could quite easily see any of the above colours ( though yellow will be most dominant).

Larger particles can create a sonic boom as the explode high up and some can create a "crackling" noise too. Whatever you see/hear, I wish you the best of luck and I would love to see any pictures/sketches or reports .

So that's it for August. The nights are getting shorter, so don't worry, I'll have lots to talk to you about the next coming months. All that remains to be said is, enjoy your holidays, get outside and keep looking up.

A very happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Keira-Louise, for the 20th, too!!

Cosford Comment ...from Jenny Antill I spent my early childhood in a village about 6 miles from Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire. Cows and sheep roamed, ducks and chickens were everywhere, and there was an abundance of orchards and market gardens. The verges were full of wild flowers; foxglove, cowslip, foxglove, and what we called ‘Queen Anne’s Lace’.

In the evening, if we were foolish enough to leave a light on and the window of the bedroom open, after a few minutes the walls and ceiling would be black with all manner of creepy crawlies. As a child this horrified me, and this is possibly why the memory still sticks in my mind. These days the contrast is remarkable. A few moths fly in, but very little else. I appreciate that arable farming locally means fewer insects in any event, but the dramatic reduction in biodiversity that the lack of insect life shows concerns me.

At this time of year I receive a lot of complaints about uncut verges on country roads. I am generally not very sympathetic. Our need to protect other species means that it is important that verges are not cut too early or too often. The charity Plantlife has recently launched a campaign to encourage better verge management (see their interesting website). Over enthusiastic verge maintenance puts 700 species of plant at risk. The practice is also bad for insects and birds that rely on plants for food.

Plantlife suggest that verges should not be cut until mid-July to September.

SCC starts earlier than this but the damage in Suffolk is mitigated by only cutting a meter wide strip and designating a number of areas as wildlife sites.

I spend a lot of time driving on C roads around the Division, and I am aware more care must be taken due to the lower level of visibility. Of course if a junction or corner becomes dangerous, the team will go out to remedy this as soon as possible. Hazardous spots should be reported on the County Council website.

Jenny Antill is the Suffolk County Councillor for the Cosford Division.

Embrace the new Gin revolution.

Embrace flavour, aroma, taste and fun Although generally through the 1980’s and ‘90’s Vodka was the go-to drink of the people (Whisky was still seen as a bit elitist) Gin eventually saw a slow and steady rebirth from 2000. Brands like Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray helped to push the spirit early on and this was backed up by the likes of Hendricks and finally, the brand that helped all new ‘regional artisan’ distillers, Sipsmiths.

Since then, the market has exploded, so much so that in the UK alone in 2014/15 forty nine new distillers started their own unique Gin brands.

But where do you find out about these new regional craft Gin brands?

That’s where GinPunch.com steps in. We are about taste, flavour, aroma and people. We will show you all the best Artisan Gin, Gin cocktails, Gin characters and all the best mixers for a fantastic Gin experience. We’ll group all the best products together for an explosion of flavour that will get your taste buds dancing every night of the week. What a workout!

Premium artisan Gin’s have a huge scale of flavour due to the wide spectrum of botanicals used and when some of those botanicals are from unique local surroundings, no two gin’s are the same. Historically, Whisky and Wine had the proprietary high ground on local flavours and aromas but not anymore.

We like to think we are Gin educators. At GinPunch.com you can view video tasting notes and find out about regional flavours. Maybe you’re travelling and visiting a new city? We can help you find the best Gin bar or distillery. And if you just want a tasting experience, we offer Gin tasting evenings and have a shop full of craft Gin’s you won’t find in the supermarkets.

Throw out your preconceived ideas about what Gin used to be.

Embrace the new Gin revolution. Embrace flavour, aroma, taste and fun.

The picture shows our ‘Tipsy Tasters’ Gin box that contains 3 x 100 ml craft Gin bottles – that’s 3 pub double gins in each bottle – as well as two great small brand tonic’s and even a pack of gourmet Gin & Tonic popcorn. All for just £29.95. www.ginpunch.com info@ginpunch.com 01473 828385

New Formula Cambridge Weight Plan At the beginning of 2015 the Cambridge Weight Plan Development Team embarked on the major process of reformulating every product in their range – over 30 products – and at the same time developed 4 entirely new products.

This was instigated by a change in EU law which decreed that all meal replacement products manufactured after 20th July 2016 could be no lower than 200 calories.

Therefore, although we are now no longer part of the EU, the Plan has had a full overhaul, ensuring the products taste as good as, or better than, previously; aspartame has been removed from all products (except water flavours); there’s more product per meal so you are less likely to get hungry making it even easier to get the great results you want! And the with-food steps now have greater choice giving you lots of flexibility to enjoy meals with your family or friends without jeopardising your weight loss.

The Plan has been carefully researched to ensure it is nutritionally balanced.

It works because it focuses on more than just losing weight. The Steps Plan offers a combination of Cambridge Weight Plan products and everyday food choices, which will help you to build a better relationship with food. This means that you can maintain the weight you want, long after you’ve reached it.

Cambridge Weight Plan has 6 steps which have been devised for weight loss but also help retrain long-term eating to maintain a healthy weight.

If you’d like help to give your body a boost and lose some weight (average weight loss is a stone a month*) into the bargain why not try Cambridge Weight Plan..?

Research has proven that dieters are more successful with support.

Accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord has over 7 years’ experience so, for individual help with your weight problem, contact her today on 01449 737113/07519 177645 or www.facebook.com/val.lord.cwp.

Kersey Mill Newsletter The month of June has been a pretty wet month, the river Brett here at Kersey burst its banks and the water wheel was turning unaided with the rising levels of water. The water levels here are very much governed by the Toppesfield Mill gates, there seems to be a lack of management of these gates, quite often left closed when heavy rains are forecasts.

Our family of swans, mother and father and 5 cygnets disappeared for a week during the heavy rainfall, returning once the water level subsided but unfortunately only bringing with them 4 cygnets. Sadly a Kingfishers nest was also a victim.

The five Kestrels have fledged this month, it’s been fascinating to watch the mother and father teach the fledgling’s to hunt and fly from low branches and then encouraging them to take each flight higher and higher, building their confidence step by step.

We were very saddened to have lost a copper beach tree, probably at least 100 years old. However we are going to use the wood for materials in the mill. The teeth that need to be replaced within the 3 crown wheels will be made using the Beech. Raymond Hopkins who has been working with our Millwright and who is very good carpenter and wood turner is also going to produce some bowls which we will be selling with the funds going to the restoration project.

We are looking forward to our Fundraising Summer Ball, with over 120 guests and a fun planned evening to include wonderful food, fabulous music by Georgette & the Distractions along with a DJ and an auction.

This weekend Kersey Mill will be hosting the AGM for Suffolk Mills Group. It will be a privilege to show members the latest stages of the restoration of the Mill which will be a vast improvement from this time last year, Suffolk Mills Group have been hugely influential with the restoration and their guidance along the way has been incredible helpful.

Kind Cuisine

G.J. WATTS

A Café specialising in Plant Based Food and Drink An exciting new venture is coming to Sudbury in the form of Kind Cuisine, a café which will exclusively offer plant based food and drink. Situated in historic Friars Street, Kind Cuisine is the creation of Linda Gregory and partner Mark Sutcliffe, who fully embrace a vegan lifestyle. They are keen to raise awareness of this way of life, by designing a business that would showcase how a plant based diet can offer as much variety, flavour and enjoyment as any other mainstream cuisine.

The concept of veganism may seem new to some, but it is actually at an all time high, with many more people, including sports men and women, and celebrities implementing the plant based lifestyle every day. They are making the change for many reasons, from health related to ethical.

Veganism is a way of life which seeks to exclude, as far as it is possible and practical, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. Research has shown that potentially a vegan diet can be the healthiest choice for long term human health and wellbeing. It has also been scientifically proven that a plant based diet is more beneficial to the environment and the planet as a whole.

Kind Cuisine will be offering a variety of tasty light lunches, cakes, snacks and drinks, and will be a warm, welcoming place for all in the community. Linda and Mark are aiming to launch the project in the very near future, and are looking forward to welcoming everyone, and providing a customer experience that is enjoyable, healthy and as ethical as possible.

WPGA International Ladies Golf Event returns to Stoke by Nayland in October – Pro Am places available!

Budding stars of the future will be in action at Stoke by Nayland when the East Anglian venue hosts the WPGA International Challenge for a fourth successive year from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th October – and spectator entry is free of charge!

The Gainsborough course will host a strong field of Ladies European Tour hopefuls chasing a €30,000 prize fund at the penultimate tournament of the season. The 54-hole event is part of the LET Access Series and was launched in 2013 by The PGA to increase support of Ariane Provot from France – the women’s game. It will be the only one of the European LETAS event to be staged in the UK in Professionals to participate 2016 and there will be 96 competitors this year including 15 WPGA members, comprising winners from the WPGA’s One Day Series and the remaining places secured via a qualifying Order of Merit over the same period. Fifteen places will also be allocated to the leading English amateurs decided by England Golf, recognising LETAS’s commitment to providing an important link between elite amateur and professional golf.

There is a lot at stake for the competitors with the top five on the LET Access Series order of merit earning cards on the Ladies European Tour for 2016 as achieved by last year’s WPGA International Challenge winner Natalia Escuriola from Spain. PGA head of tournaments, Ben Groutage, said: “The WPGA International Challenge has gone from strength to strength since its launch and we are delighted to be again returning to Stoke by Nayland who have been so supportive of the PGA and golf at all levels.

The popular annual LETAS Pro Am will take place on Wednesday 5th October and as before there will be some familiar faces amongst the amateurs such as Stewart White from BBC Look East, and former world Snooker Champion Steve Davis. The day includes a light breakfast, shot gun start at midday and ends with a drinks reception and Gala Dinner featuring guest comedian Ian Irving.

2015 LETAS Pro Am team If you are interested in entering as an individual or taking a team of 3 and playing with BBC Look East’s with one of the LETAS professionals in Stewart White and tournament conditions please contact Mary BBC News presenter Saward on 01206 265841 or email Naga Munchetty sales@stokebynayland.com Also visit www.stokebynayland.com for more information and an entry form.

Hospice’s brand new, bubbly event is first for Suffolk St Elizabeth Hospice is bringing a brand new family event to Suffolk this August bank holiday, and it’s already proving to be very popular with more than 1,100 people signed up to take part! Bubble Rush is a fun-filled, foamy event that will see people of all ages getting covered in colourful bubbles this summer in aid of the local charity.

On Sunday 28 August, hundreds of people will run, walk, dance or skip around a 5km route at Christchurch Park. The route will feature four ‘bubble stations’ which each have bubble cannons, covering you in safe, frothy foam! Each station jets out different coloured bubbles, with a matching scent and unique music to listen to.

Joanne Rodger, St Elizabeth Hospice’s events and challenges fundraiser, said: “We already have more than 1,100 bubblers signed up for what will be ours, as well as the county’s, first ever Bubble Rush and we expect to have even more sign up before the event. “Bubble Rush is an ideal event to take part in with your family, friends or co-workers as it’s suitable for all ages and is fantastically frothy and fun! “All the money raised from the event will go towards providing vital care and support to people living with a progressive illness in east Suffolk and their families.� Registration is now open and there are also discounts for family tickets, and under 5’s can enter for free.

All the money raised from St Elizabeth Hospice’s event will go towards improving life for people living with a progressive illness such as cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure.

Councils Call for Sites for New Joint Local Plan Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils are asking landowners throughout the districts thinking of allowing development on their land to get in contact with the councils. The two District Councils are producing a new Joint Local Plan which will replace the existing adopted plans of both Councils. The new Joint Local Plan will include the allocation of sites for residential, employment and other uses in order to meet the development needs of the districts up to 2036.

The ‘Call for Sites’ provides an opportunity for developers, landowners, Parish & Town Councils, individuals and other interested parties to register land within Babergh or Mid Suffolk districts to be considered as a potential allocated site in the Joint Local Plan. In addition, the Council is also providing an opportunity for landowners who wish to make a site or plot available for ‘self build’, an option that allows individuals to obtain planning permission to build a home of their own, to do so at this stage.

The Call for Sites will identify potential sites for development, but no site put forward will automatically see development take place: each registered site will be considered in detail by the Babergh and Mid Suffolk planning teams before sufficient sites to meet projected need in the districts are selected to move forward. Once the assessment process is complete, the Councils will consider the options and undertake further consultation, including discussion with infrastructure providers and local communities.

A previous Call for Sites exercise was undertaken in autumn 2014. At that stage the focus was on larger sites to inform the identification of the councils’ strategic site allocations. Following the decision to produce a comprehensive Joint Local Plan for the two Districts, the councils are revisiting the Call for Sites process so that smaller sites can also be identified. In accordance with national policy the Councils are inviting the submission of sites and broad locations.

The sites submitted could be for housing (sites of at least a quarter hectare or capable of accommodating five or more dwellings are eligible), employment, community facilities, open space, renewable energy, car parking, gypsy and traveller sites or other uses. The Call for Sites process is not restrictive in relation to where sites are suggested, but it is unlikely that sites proposed in very rural areas will be suitable locations in which to build new homes, or provide new employment. However, the information provided is essential in assessing the available land and to aid us in considering where development O should be distributed under the Plan.

Landowners are urged to note that for self build sites there is no minimum size threshold on submitting a piece of land, so small individual plots can be identified.

Cllr Gerard Brewster, Mid Suffolk District Council Portfolio Holder for Business Growth & Increased Productivity, said: “We are facing a lot of population growth in Mid Suffolk and we’re determined to meet that challenge: this Call for Sites is an early opportunity for the council to plan effectively for growth and provide a starting point for Local Plans and Neighbourhood Plans.”

Cllr Simon Barrett, Babergh District Council Portfolio Holder for Business Growth & Increased Productivity, said: “Any landowner in the district can put forward sites for this, and will not only help us prepare for the future but will also give communities an understanding of where development could fall as they work on their own Neighbourhood Development Plans.”

Pause for Thought As I write this our nation is going through some difficult times with lots of changes ahead. We will have a new Prime Minister and our relationship with Europe is going to change. There is unrest both in the UK and other countries and the newspapers would like us to believe in doom and gloom. But is there hope for the future, who will help us and guide us?

Recently standing on the shore of a lake I was surrounded by mountains and a verse from the Bible came to mind. Psalm 121 verses 1 and 2 says ‘I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.’ This verse reminds us that God who made the world including us is able to help us whatever our circumstances or needs. Further in the Psalm, verse 7 says ‘The Lord will keep you from all harm He will watch over your life’. In all times of our lives God will keep His promise and lead us, guide us and protect us.

Get on your bike in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support Holmes & Hills Solicitors in Sudbury will be fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support at the firm’s 2016 annual charity bike ride and invites you to take part. Taking place on Sunday 11th September, over 300 people are expected to join in.

The local law firm organises the annual event to raise funds for charity. Last year, Holmes & Hills raised over £8,500 for Cancer Research UK, the firm’s 2015 charity of the year.

Celebrating its 11th year, the 2016 Holmes & Hills Solicitors' annual Charity Bike Ride will once again start and finish in Halstead.

Taking place on one special Sunday each September, the Holmes & Hills Charity Bike Ride is one of the largest non-competitive charity cycling events in the area.

The event is open to anyone including individuals, families and teams of colleagues and will take place on Sunday 11th September and offers three scenic routes to choose from – 11, 26 or 53 miles. There will be a complimentary after-ride BBQ and refreshments for those who take part.

Each of the three routes goes through some of Essex and Suffolk’s finest countryside. Riders will be cycling through Halstead town centre and into the countryside, with the 53 miles route going along the Suffolk boarder, passing through Belchamp Walter, Clare and Ridgewell before returning to Halstead through Finchingfield and Felsted.

Mark Cornell, Managing Partner of Holmes & Hills Solicitors, who is himself a keen cyclist says: “I am very pleased with how the event is getting bigger every year, it all started small 11 years ago, it just goes to show how the people of Sudbury and Halstead are keen to support good causes. This event promises to be a great day out.”

Registration for the event is now open; riders who wish to take part can register online via Holmes & Hills Solicitors’ website: www.holmes-hills.co.uk/BikeRide or pick up an entry form from their office at 96 North Street, Sudbury.

Heritage Open Afternoon at Orchard Barn Orchard Barn is a living history project where we use natural building materials (earth and trees) and a traditional approach to construction.

Subsoil has been used as a building material throughout the world for centuries. In mid Suffolk there are still many houses and farm buildings constructed from clay lump. Building with earth is part of our heritage. At Orchard Barn we have all the materials we need to build a wall directly under our feet, and we like to keep fit naturally! It’s a great combination that’s lots of fun.

Just recently we have been making clay lump blocks for our new craft room. We start the process with a spade. Currently we are improving drainage of a ditch and ‘harvesting’ the clay as we go. Then we tread chopped straw in until mixed well.

Clay lump mix is tamped down into a wooden mould, then turned out and dried in the sun for 3-4 weeks.

A simple, but effective heritage building practice that is making a come-back – one spade-full at a time.

If you would like to see how we make clay lump blocks or wattle and daub, then come to our Open Afternoon between 2-4.30pm on Saturday 10th September.

It’s part of the national campaign to show the rich and diverse heritage of our buildings. During the afternoon we will be doing a presentation about the restoration of Orchard Barn - a Community Interest Company run project that has involved over 1600 people in the use of local trees and earth. Come and see what we have achieved and how!

For more information visit www.orchardbarn.org.uk or phone 01473 658193 / 07766 054042 New volunteers always welcome.

We returned to an old favourite in July, a ‘garden safari’, where we all visit a select number of gardens belonging to fellow members. It certainly proved to be an adventurous evening, kicking off in Hadleigh with Louise’s relatively new garden which she has built from scratch and is full of interest, with yet more to come as further landscaping projects are looming. With the thunder clouds gathering we all then sped off to Jenny’s beautiful mature garden in Aldham.

The heavens opened on arrival but that didn’t deter us from taking a ‘brolly tour’ along the paths that weave around beds full of summer perennials. As we left, the rain stopped – just as well as shelter was hard to come by at the Gallows Hill allotments, where my own plot and Dave’s gave everyone something different to see - including Dave’s deckchair haven in his shed bolthole!

A double rainbow hung in the sky as, last but not least, it was off to Kate and Ray’s wonderful garden on the outskirts of Kersey. Many of us had been there before but it is always a treat to see, and we rounded of what was by then a lovely summer evening with supper in a 16th century barn.

Our next meeting – Monday August 8th. For our next meeting we welcome a new speaker to the group, Phil Taylor, who will be talking about ‘Trees for your garden’. This is certainly a subject many of us would benefit from further knowledge of, so why not come and join us? All are welcome – members £1, non-members just £3, including refreshments. The meeting will be held at Hadleigh Town Hall and starts at 7.30pm.

Down to Earth ...with Dave What a topsy turvey summer we are having, one day it’s hot and sunny then the next day it’s pouring with rain. In the main this has not affected the production of crops down on the allotment. It just means that at times it has been a bit more difficult to get on with the various jobs that need doing. I have never seen such luscious growth in everything. With the brussels, caulis, celeriac, runner beans, sweetcorn, courgettes and everything else growing as if they are in a race to see which crop can be the first to be eaten. So far the yellow courgettes are in the lead. One downside of the mild damp weather is that the potato blight has set in early, with all the potato tops having to be cut off and disposed of at the tip and not on the compost. This should help stop the blight spreading next year. If caught early enough the tubers will not be affected. As the tomato is closely related to the potato they can easily become infected and the tomato crop may well be destroyed. My answer is to grow the tomatoes at home in the garden far away from any possible infection.

The asparagus crop is finished by mid- June with the spears left to develop into the lovely fern. This builds up reserves for next year’s crop. Only a very few of the ferns are taken as a floral partner to the masses of sweet peas being produced at home in the garden, growing in their three large tubs and trained up six foot bamboo cane tripods. The blossoms are picked every couple of days, if they are not picked regularly then the sweet peas will think its job is done and will just stop flowering and set seed. When the runner and climbing beans reach the top of their frames the tops should be nipped off. As I am not very tall I just nip them out with the shears. When the cauliflower curds start to show they can be protected from the weather by breaking and folding over the outer leaves. Keep watering and feeding hanging baskets and tomato plants. The fruits are beginning to form and before you know it we will have a glut.

It may seem strange with all the rain that we have had but, if you can, give the birds some clean drinking and bathing water. The sight of half a dozen starlings having a bath in our concrete bird bath is a pure joy. Most gardens have plants that evoke particular memories. We have a very large concrete pot with a hydrangea in it. This was my dad’s and, for as many years as I can remember, it was always in the front garden of wherever he and my mum lived. When he died it was moved to our garden in Romford from Northampton, and then when we moved to Hadleigh ten years ago, the very heavy pot, complete with the metal frame that I had made for it, came with us. The hydrangea has survived all the various moves and has given many cuttings over the years. Precious memories.

That’s all for this time, Dave

2016 News from Hadleigh Tennis Club The first two club tournaments were held in May and June with the Mixed doubles being won by Jan Richards and Trevor Rowland who reached the final after a long semi final battle with Sandie Claireaux and Nick Moore. In the final they defeated Geoff Scott and Dominica Yannaghas. Sandie went one better in the Ladies doubles, winning with Linda Dhondy when they beat Liz Allen and Hayley Thorpe. Later this summer we will have a family tournament and the Mixed doubles winners, Jan and annual challenge match against Trevor (centre) with finalists Bildeston Tennis club which first Geoff and Dominica took place 135 years ago followed in September by the President’s Day which is a more relaxed half day but no less competitive.

In the League competitions the Mixed doubles team, following last year’s success, have moved up a division and is facing stiff competition but are enjoying the challenge! The Ladies doubles team is also finding the opposition quite tough this year but looking to improve over the rest of the season.

Through the Summer there are three club sessions of “club play” per week at the courts in Layham Sandie and Linda, winners of the Road (next to the Rugby Club Ladies doubles event pitches): Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 9.00pm and Sundays from 9.30am to 12.00 pm.

Come along and give it a try.

On the non playing side three lucky members received pairs of tickets in the LTA Wimbledon Ballot which is a benefit to Club members and in addition to the normal Public Ballot tickets. It is unclear whether they have recovered from Murray mania yet! By the time you read this the annual B-B-Q will have taken place (hopefully on a warm sunny day) and the planning is well advanced for the Christmas Dinner in mid December.

Mary-Claire Tweedy is continuing her two weekly coaching sessions for juniors (beginners and improvers). Marie Claire is an LTA qualified coach and is enthusiastic about helping youngsters in the Hadleigh area to start playing tennis and the development of their skills.

Ian Carter only needed one hole which he managed to birdie and the Stoke by Nayland Club Championship was his. Rob Benson with a nett 74 on Saturday and an impressive 67 on Constable on Sunday was the winner of the AJB Cup. The trophies were presented to the two winners by Club Captain Ian Thompson.

Seeley Wins After Nightmare Start Jed Seeley made a nightmare start in his bid to nail the Newton Green 36-hole club championship – but recovered to beat former champion Russell Oakey by two shots. Seeley, who now plays off scratch, put two drives out of bounds on the first hole of the morning round, and finished with an eight. However, a couple of birdies allowed him to record a two over par 71 by lunch, the same score as Oakey (handicap two).

Harvey Watts, Russell Oakey and Captain Lee Prentice

In the afternoon, Seeley shot 72, compared to his nearest rival’s 74, meaning the Newton course record holder notched his first club championship on a total of 143.

Third was junior Harvey Watts (handicap five) on 149, which included the day’s lowest 18-hole score of 70, after shooting a morning 79.

Newton Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juniors have come out top of the pile to represent Suffolk for the second year running at the national team golf championship event. They will be returning to Frilford Heath, Oxfordshire, on August 11 and 12 with a tough task on their hands - improving on the fourth place they achieved last year. A Newton trio of Alice Barlow, Harvey Watts and Ben Tatum qualified by winning a close 100 - 98 Stableford points Suffolk final battle with Haverhill at Felixstowe Ferry. None of them played in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national final, even those that did all still qualify, which underlines Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength in junior depth talent. Barlow, the current Suffolk senior and junior champion, did not play in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, and with some wayward driving did not perform to her handicap of three against Haverhillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fiona Stokes (handicap 12) and went down by 30 - 35 points.

However, Harvey Watts (5) won by 35 - 28 to James Iron (12), and Ben Tatum (6) and Josh Hulyer (13) both finished on 35 points - leaving Newton victors by two points. Suffolk junior golf chairman Mike Stevenson presented the trophy. In earlier rounds Newton had beaten Halesworth 105 - 85, Fynn Valley 89 - 82 and Hintlesham 104 - 89.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Junadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Stoke by Nayland â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Junadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stands for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Juniors and Adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it is a programme at Stoke by Nayland Golf Club to foster golf skills and enthusiasm for the game amongst young people. From May to September, every Thursday afternoon, groups of youngsters tee off between 5 and 6 pm on the Gainsborough Course. The nine holes of fun/ competitive golf are played with an adult or older junior.

Whether with or without a handicap, good golfer or beginner Junads welcomes members and non members alike.

Junads membership costs just ÂŁ1.50 for play and access to the clubhouse.

So why not come and join, during the school summer holidays, and find out about playing golf.

The ladies greeted their Captain, Betty Cox, driven in her decorated buggy by Ladies ViceCaptain, Anne Hemmings, to the Ladies’ Captain, Betty Cox, with her front of the spike bar overlooking decorated buggy the two 18th greens where she was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Ladies Section Secretary, Ann Major. Betty’s chosen theme for the day was Cool Cats and Country Cottage Gardens. The ladies dressed in all things colourful with some inventive costumes worn before (and during) play.

As well as Betty, several ladies had baked cakes which Betty her husband Bob and Club Captain, Ian Thompson offered to the ladies at the halfway point.

Bob had also made some scrumptious punch which could be drunk either with or without any alcoholic content.

To finish was tea or coffee and chocolate covered fondant mints.

Following the meal Betty was presented with a book of photographs both past and present which all the ladies had signed with messages of goodwill and thanks for all her hard work so far. She also received a silver bracelet from the ladies as her gift. One raffle prize of a round of golf for four at Bury St Edmunds raised more than £150 for her charity, The Childrens’ Society.
