Whatfield School had great fun celebrating the Queens 90th birthday with a street party, which meant sandwiches, nibbles, cakes and of course jam tarts to share. The children enjoyed a day of fun royal activities and were dressed appropriately in red, white and blue or as princes and princesses. We all enjoyed singing happy birthday to Her Majesty, and of course finished with a chorus of ‘God Save The Queen’. Our pupils all received souvenir coins for a keepsake of the occasion. The children also took part in a major exhibition at the cathedral in celebration of the Queen, and their work was exhibited during the month of June.

Since their visit to African Adventure, our year 5 and 6 pupils have continued to study Africa, and were pleased to meet up with their friends at Bildeston to join in Kagera day, run by the discovery team at the Cathedral, and giving children the chance to find out more about the style of dress, food and daily life of people who live in Africa. I think staff from the Cathedral were surprised with how much the pupils already knew, and how enthusiastic they were to learn more!

Whatfield School have been very involved with sport this summer. We were pleased to get a place at Quadkids, and sent a mixed age team along to Ipswich to compete in this lovely occasion. The team were very impressed to meet Danny Crates, 800m Paralympian gold medal winner!

We were also pleased to get through to the finals of the Westbourne mintennis competition, and thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of playing at this level of the tournament. We are also looking forward to the Suffolk Finals of the gymnastics competition in Bury St Edmunds, and are to the challenge of competing against the best school gymnasts in Suffolk!

We always have lots of exciting activities to look forward to, and as always, if you would like to visit us and have a look round our lovely school you are very welcome.

Please telephone 01473 823309 or email whatfieldcps@talk21.com to make an arrangement to meet us. Lynne Golding, Headteacher www.whatfield.suffolk.sch.uk

HINTLESHAM & CHATTISHAM The Story of Two Suffolk Villages This is the story of a pair of local villages forming one community. Written lovingly by two residents it is a work covering a period of 5,000 years. The contents have been gathered painstakingly from records and documents collected over years of extensive research and many interviews of residents past and present. Through 15 chapters it looks at the influences that have formed and determined the development of the villages including manors, landscape, agriculture, the church, wars and education.

The work details the contribution made to local life and beyond by some of the more famous inhabitants and by many that are less well known. Published in hardback and consisting of 380 pages with nearly 500 photographs and illustrations, many in colour, this is surely one of the most complete records of village life covering one of the smaller rural communities. The book will be launched at The Hintlesham Community Hall over the weekend 9th-10th July, 10-5 both days, at a special introductory prices of £20. At this launch there will be a photo exhibition and refreshments will be available.

If anyone would like a copy of the book but are unable to be at the launch please ring 01473 652359 or email r.d.chase@uwclub.net.

Surviving Winter in Hadleigh (and adjoining villages) Our first annual report appeared in last month's HCN and showed a steady and progressive start to our project. The next few months will be spent assessing how we can progress further by embracing a wider group of those in assistance of fuel need. We will be looking to assist all age groups incl. those disabled, whether they have support or not from other charitable sources.

Therefore we are in the early stages of planning a fund raising grand Xmas prize draw. If there is anyone who has experience in this field and would be available to offer their services either voluntary or on a professional basis, we would be pleased to hear from them.

Contact Fred Breyer: Tel: 01473 829127, fredbreyer12@gmail.com, by post: Surviving Winter in Hadleigh, PO Box 115, Hadleigh IP7 9BX. Thank you and enjoy the summer

When you read this it will be over – we'll be Brexited or Bremained. I admit, I was bored by day two of the campaigning. People we thought were friends, bickering like children. Claims and counter claims; nobody knew what to believe! Millions expected to vote and politics discussed everywhere! I'm glad my future is in God's hands. The Bible says '“I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord' (Jeremiah ch29 v11).

What interested me was the voting registration. We were told the final date for registration, yet so many left it to the last minute the website crashed and the deadline was extended! People, thinking they had lost their right to vote, getting a reprieve. The Bible says Jesus is coming back one day and no-one knows when it will happen. It says about Jesus 'I will come like a thief and you will not know at what time I will come to you.' (Revelation ch3 v3). Don't leave it until then to get to know Him, you might find the deadline has passed and you're too late. Many churches run courses such as Christianity Explored or Alpha, where you can find out who Jesus is. Why not get to know Him now?

Monthly Local Crafts and Produce Market St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh First Friday Morning of Every Month There has been a Farmers’ Market in the stunning, landmark building of St Mary’s Church for several years now. Visitors are unanimous in their appraisal.

Spectacular stain glass windows; a very warm welcome from the church community; the extraordinary sound of singing from the side chapel whilst coffee cups clink and giggles are shared. And as the sun streams through the windows lighting up the faces of customers and sellers alike, everyone agrees, our monthly market is one of the most enjoyable in Suffolk. We are going from strength to strength.

In 2016, we are evolving, growing bigger and better. Now offering a wider choice, not just food and drink, but crafts and collectables of every conceivable variety, we are desperate for you all to come and see. If you are a crafter, or food producer, perhaps you would like to get involved? You could not ask for a better welcome and there are stalls to suit all tastes and ages. Quality is paramount, great value essential. We aim to give the people of Hadleigh the best. Your experience should be so satisfying you will want to return month after month!

Hadleigh Local Crafts and Produce Market aims to give its visitors a shopping and community experience that is second to none. We are so proud of our lovely, town. It’s still a genuine community with hard-working men, women and children who fight to keep our community spirit alive during some challenging times. Our new and improved market celebrates this, whilst welcoming everyone from near and far.You will see our new signs go up around the town a few days before our big day each month, and you will receive flyers through the post or reminders from Hadleigh Community News. We hope to get a mention from our friend, Lesley Dolphin on BBC Radio Suffolk. We mean to make our mark!

So come and see us. Enjoy a coffee and bacon roll, or piece of cake in our delightful coffee zone. There are leather sofas for real comfort. Church pews are long gone to make space for real people in a genuine community. Browse our stalls. Take in the magnificent atmosphere. Feel you belong once again to the kind of community Suffolk is famous for.

On the last Friday of May the sun shone and the birds sang. It was a great day for a VIP visit to Orchard Barn and we were delighted to show MP Jo Churchill the work of over 1600 trainees and volunteers. Jo was with us for an hour and a half during which time we were able to show her the progress we are making constructing our new craft room using local trees in the round.

Jo had a go at using a draw knife to make a peg for use in the new craft room and watched as Calvin debarked an elm log in preparation for use as a roof rafter in the new craft room. We were able to show Jo some of the benches we've made using green wood. The back of this bench is a piece of Cherry Plum from our orchard.

The visit was attended by parish councillors from four adjacent parishes and thirty volunteers and trainees. It was great way to mark the success of the project and discuss plans to expand the range of traditional and natural building courses we offer. As a reminder of our slow and sustainable building project we gave Jo a snail paperweight (made by OBee Volunteers from slate and hazel).

Thank-you for visiting Jo, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Visitors welcome any Wednesday (other days by prior arrangement), we are SW of Mill Road, Battisford or visit our website www.orchardbarn.org.uk or phone 01473 658193

Walking football strolls into town The first walking football session at AFC Sudbury’s Wardale Williams Stadium was held on Tuesday May 24. Walking football, a craze sweeping the UK, will now be held every Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm. The games will be played on a turn up and play basis, meaning participants do not need to be part of a team.

AFC Sudbury director Richard Instance said: “We are delighted to have finally launched walking football on the 3G surface, which has been our aim ever since the pitch was laid. People will now have the opportunity to come down and take part in this exciting version of the game on a weekly basis. The game is much harder than it looks and it is a great way for people to keep fit and healthy. We hope the game takes off in Sudbury as well as it has in other areas.”

Walking football is a variant of association football with the key difference being players are not allowed to run and will concede a free kick if they do so. Sliding tackles are banned to avoid injury and originally the game was played without goalkeepers, although this is now optional. The only other difference is the ball is not allowed above hip-height.

The sport was devised, during 2011, by the Chesterfield F.C. Community Trust.

Following significant media coverage several other clubs took up this version of the game and it is now played all over the country. The manner in which the sport is played promotes cardiovascular fitness whilst producing the least stress on the body making it accessible to all age groups.

Participation will be £4 per session, which includes tea and biscuits. As the sessions are held on the 3G surface players must wear studded or bladed boots.

Anyone wanting to know more about walking football or other opportunities to play on the new 3G pitch should contact AFC Sudbury on 01787 376213 or visit www.3gafc.co.uk

Murder, most foul!

If pre-meditated murder is murder of the most heinous sort, then HADS (Hadleigh Amateur Dramatic Society) will be hitting the headlines of The Sun and other red tops, with the slaughter on 1st & 2nd July of a local vicar.

Who killed the Vicar? is the latest offering of this recently revived drama group. The plot involves a small community with big egos, a summer fete and shenanigans going under a leafy elm tree.

Sounds familiar? The play has been adapted to be set in Hadleigh and challenges the audience to solve the murder mystery. Clues are liberally scattered throughout the night's performance and the Hadleigh Silver Dagger Award will go to the person who identifies the murderer, the accomplice and the motives leading to the dreadful stabbing. And don’t think going the second night means the cat is out of the bag, as two endings are going to be employed.

Being performed in the Deanery Gardens, the unique backdrop compliments the storyline. To get in the mood, audience members can arrive before the performance and have a picnic in the Gardens - bring your cucumber sandwiches, tea will be available. Director, Patsy Forsyth, has gathered a strong cast to play the suspects: The Vicar’s housekeeper, the Organiist, the Curate, the PCC Chair, a Rambler, the Scoutmaster. We are also hoping to get a special guest to make a timely appearance.

Who killed the Vicar? July 1st and 2nd at the Deanery Gardens in Hadleigh.

Gates open 5.30 for picnics, Performances start at 7.30, Refreshment, licensed bar and side-stalls and a ripping murder!

Tickets available from Keith Avis, High Street, Hadleigh - £5 each

Creative Company Creative Company is a new, informal art group for adult family carers living in and around Hadleigh.

Carers are welcome to attend by themselves, or with the person from whom they care. A series of taster sessions have already taken place – and the response has been fantastic. As one person remarked – ‘I didn’t think I could do that, but it’s been brilliant – a lovely, relaxing way to spend an afternoon’. Now the regular, fortnightly sessions have started on Friday afternoons, from 2pm – 4pm, at the Pool and Leisure Centre in Hadleigh. Adult family carers can join at any time, as each week we explore a different idea and activity.

Absolutely no experience is necessary, and all the materials are provided.

Sessions are free to attend, and are led by a professional artist – so all you need to do is come along and enjoy a couple of hours of creative company.

For more information about Creative Company, please call Candida on 01986 873955 or email candida@suffolkartlink.org.uk

GSOLICITORS IBBONS

Howard on a steam engine Hello my Readers – as I scribe these words, the longest day has just gone and I feel sad that we can only look forward to days getting shorter and shorter. The recent celebrations of the Queen’s 90th Birthday have been magnificent and demonstrate a Britain to be proud of. The events reminded me of some visits I made to the Royal Cinema at Buckingham Palace when I was 17. My school was asked to provide volunteers to prepare some form of First Day Cover relating to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. It was organised by Mrs Gordon Spencer who ran the Scheme for girls. It was quite an experience. The picture shows me on a steam engine at Rural Pastimes at Euston Park. The coals were burning, steam was all about and whistles were a-blowing. The Estate is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Grafton not far from Thetford. The event was so interesting. There were hundreds of classic cars, there were steam engines, Cossacks on horseback and farm machinery. It was quite something to see steam engines on the move.

A good friend had his seventieth Birthday lunch at The Flora Tea Rooms near the beach at Dunwich. The journey was further than my chauffeur Frank had expected but we did have an enjoyable time upon arrival.

It does concern me that so many large housing developments are springing up and proposed in our immediate vicinity. I treasure our countryside and it seems that we are gradually ruining it. Hadleigh’s 8,000 population is expanding enormously. I was dismayed to receive a notice from Suffolk Highways that in connection with a new development behind the High Street in Hadleigh parking spaces outside Numbers 107 to 121 High Street are to be removed. These are spaces that Hadleigh needs so that you my dear readers can visit our businesses. Surely if a company is to profit from its housing development then it must provide replacement spaces. Do object to Suffolk Highways straight away at Phoenix House 3 Goddard Road Ipswich IP1 5NP or heather.miller@suffolk.gov.uk by 8 July.

I have before expressed my surprise that people seem happy to sign up for leases for shops and the like without advice. A lease can contain onerous terms, such as obligations on the tenant to put a property in good order (no matter as to its condition at the outset) at the end of the term of the lease.

Do take proper advice. If you are buying or selling a house or building it is worthwhile preparing in advance. Do come to us at an early stage so that you can marshall the necessary documents. A Lasting Power of Attorney is one of those things that you should have – quite a lot of paperwork but we can make short work of that for you.

Capel Canines - Doggy Daycare and Grooming Capel Canines is run by husband and wife, Michael and Marie. We live in Capel St Mary with our four dogs and horses.

Marie is qualified in Dog Grooming as well as Canine Behaviour and Management.

Michael used to work his springer spaniels and has completed training with gun dogs. He is also a qualified Paramedic. Both are qualified in Canine First Aid. The business was started in 2008. We started offering dog grooming and kennelling at our home in Capel St Mary. As business started to increase, we moved into mobile dog grooming. We used a converted van and trailer to groom our customers dogs outside their home. In 2012 we acquired a business unit on the farm where we live and converted this into our current Dog Grooming Parlour. 2016 brings new opportunities. Demand for our grooming service has increased to the point where we have needed to employ further members of staff. We opened our new Doggy Daycare Centre on the 1st June, which provides an open and exciting experience for your dog in a fully supervised and structured environment.

Our philosophy is to be a home from home. We aim to provide an environment in which your dog feels happy and content. We also want you to be secure in the knowledge that whilst with us, your dog is safe and well cared for. Everyone (whether they have 4 legs or 2), is part of our family.

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 There are not many subjects I would have expected to force me to abridge an article about the centenary of the Battle of the Somme at the last minute, but the brutal murder of a fellow Member of Parliament is one of them. Like me, Jo Cox was born in 1974; she was elected to the House of Commons on the same day that I earned the great privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament.

Jo attended many of the same debates and statements as me, always displaying striking passion and intelligence; and I find it so painful to think that she will not be facing me across the green benches ever again. I have tried as best I can to pass on the messages of condolence I have received for her bereaved family from constituents. I am also grateful for the many messages of good wishes that I have been sent by so many of you, including supporters of all parties, and I can assure all of you that the surgeries advertised on the opposite page will continue; I will not be stopped from trying to serve South Suffolk to the best of my ability. Fear of violence must not triumph over democracy.

On 1st July it will have been 100 years since the start of the Battle of the Somme, a day of unparalleled bloodshed in our army's history. I will be marking the centenary with the Sudbury branch of the Royal British Legion at their Commemoration Service on Market Hill on 3rd July. Parliament will hold a special debate on 29th June. We will commemorate the most epic sacrifice on behalf of this nation. In her own way, like those soldiers a century ago, Jo Cox died bravely serving her country.

We must never forget either sacrifice.

A little of your time can go a long way Do you have a little spare time to help make a big difference to wildlife?

The RSPB Stour reserve team protect and look after over 100ha of nature reserves in Suffolk and North Essex ranging from the Ancient woodland of Wolves Wood near Ipswich, Cattawade Marsh a wader haven just outside Manningtree, Stour Wood near Wrabness and Flatford Wildlife Garden.

The reserve team is made up of just five staff and a group of dedicated volunteers. Without this valuable gift of time from volunteers we would be unable to carry out much of the work on the reserves. RSPB volunteers come from all different walks of life with different skills and experience but between them they give hundreds of hours to help protect wildlife and connect people to nature.

Got a few hours spare?

Volunteers are needed to help patrol Wolves Wood, near Ipswich and Stour Woods, near Wrabness. It’s a great excuse to get out in to the countryside for a walk and directly help look after a couple of special reserves.

Got a day or two free?

Flatford Wildlife Garden has volunteering opportunities in the Visitor Welcome team. You’ll be inspiring visitors to give nature a home in their own gardens and to support the RSPBs work through membership and donations. If you fancy getting your hands dirty Flatford Wildlife Brushcutter work at Wolves Garden also has space in the Gardening Wood – RSPB volunteers can volunteer team who keep the garden in learn new skills. top condition. Horticultural experience isn’t essential put you’ll need to be reasonably fit and mobile.

Got some carpentry experience that you’re willing to share? We’ve got a well equipped workshop in Brantham and are currently looking for a skilled carpentry volunteer to help with tasks around the reserves from small maintenance jobs to big projects.

Got time for a big commitment?

A volunteer co-ordinator is needed to help expand and support the volunteer teams at the Stour Estuary reserves. Volunteers are hugely important to what we do and you’ll be at the heart of it. It’s a big job and a big time commitment but we’re sure the right person is out there somewhere.

How do I get involved? For more general information have a look here: http://www.rspb.org.uk/joinandhelp/volunteering.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre

Waterfield House Grays Close, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 6AG

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

I do like having visitors. When you are static, like I am, you get bored of your room sometimes! Luckily the Centre has a steady stream of people coming along to see what we do and they are always very interested in ME (and the other horses and ponies of course). Regular visitors are The Black Cat Club and branches of the W.I. The Trefoil Club visited in May, and is kindly sponsoring Bob this year. We have had Brownies, URC church groups, AMAzing Women, Stoke by Nayland Golf Club and many more interested parties. I love it. What Margaret and Jan do is explain our business. Lyn introduces the horses and ponies. Somebody will do a demo ride. Our curious pieces of tack get shown off. I get to show my paces and why I am so important. Our guests usually get tea and biscuits whilst they are here. This is all extra to the daily lessons for our regular riders but it does help to spread the word, and thankfully increases the donations that keep the therapy going.

This month’s photos are of Hampden House boys who come on Thursday mornings to ride.

They have to overcome all their hang-ups to get aboard; they have to listen to instructions and learn a new skill; they are not allowed to swear, and they have to say thank you. What good life skills for when they leave school! On wet days I get to teach them trotting and that’s a good laugh.

The Thursday volunteers are proud to be supporting the school in their specialist care of theses lads. We all like to see them getting their grades and becoming competent riders.

Readers, don’t forget to come to our Fun Dog Show on 9th July. It’s the last ‘Open’ event before the long summer holidays.

News from Kersey School Owls Wow, I can't believe we are in the Summer Term already! Owls are busy writing all about the amazing time we had at African Adventure! We are now comparing how a village in Africa is completely different to the village of Kersey. We have been sketching different areas of Kersey and will be creating some beautiful water colours from these.

We are also in full swing for rehearsing for our end of year play 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' by Roald Dahl.

Hedgehogs Hedgehogs had a great day celebrating the Queen's 90th Birthday! We made cheese and cucumber sandwiches, built our own castles from the construction materials and made crowns and Union Jack flags. We also designed our own royal carriages and soldiers. In PE we have been busy practising for Sports Day next week. We have also been learning a Maypole dance.

Squirrels Our last half term will be spent learning about space. So far we have designed our own rockets, written facts about the solar system, designed our own astronaut space suit and written our own space stories. When we read the story Whatever Next! By Jill Murphy we created a list of objects we would take with us if we were to go into space. We are looking forward to our Mums and Dads joining us in the classroom to design a planet made from mod rock!

A Passion for Fashion If you thought purchasing quality fashion items was outside your budget, think again. If you thought wearing beautiful, quality clothing was only for size six models in Milan, read on. Sue Ryder Retail in Hadleigh is proud to announce that Style Coach Elizabeth will be presenting an evening of fashion with a difference, showcasing outfits on models of all different sizes, and talking us through what to wear (and possibly what not to wear!) Men will also be catered for with a variety of men’s clothing.

Rails of high end labels, will be available to purchase on the night, along with the outfits being modelled, together with a collection of beautiful accessories from Hintlesham Barns.

Taste of Sudbury Thousands of visitors filled Market Hill and St Peters at the fourth Taste of Sudbury Food and Drink Festival on Sunday the 12th June despite the weather and there was more space than expected due to HSBC removing its mobile bank off Market Hill on the Friday beforehand.

Jane Hatton said “we are lucky to have St. Peter’s as when there was a shower people could go inside but many just sheltered under gazebos until it passed. On stage we had a great line up of local chefs and new for 2016 they took part in the omelette challenge, which was won by Kevin Fernandez from Rafis Spicebox in North Street who made an omelette in 43 seconds. A young lady called Poppy won the sausage challenge but all enjoyed having a go.

Everyone who took the opportunity to join in with the 5 course taster set menu in the Jam Tartz Pop Up Restaurant were amazed by the food and drink provided. The Jam Tartz Head Chef, Jon Cutts had previously worked for the Queen and was called out of the kitchen with his team at the end of the meal to a round of applause. The pop up restaurant had been set up in the style of a street party to join in with all the other parties which were being held around the country on the same day. The menu also promoted the other stall holders at the Taste of Sudbury as many of the ingredients and drinks used were provided by the other exhibitors.

Craig Hogg from 55 Above said "It was a great turn out and I’m pleased the rain didn’t stop people hanging around. I had a great success at the show and the feedback from the locals was very positive in regards to our vodkas and newly released gins especially after tasting the toffee vodka in the Jam Tartz menu".

Holiday’s Looming?

Another long cold, wet, miserable spring has meant thoughts of summer holidays and wearing pretty clothes haven’t had much chance. Don’t despair, there’s still time to get that beach body ready for when the rain finally stops & the weather warms up - surely the sun must arrive soon! You may be one of the lucky ones packing your suitcases in a few weeks’ time & jetting off somewhere hot.

Think you’ll never manage to lose enough weight in time and you’ll be hiding under your beach brolly? If so, help is at hand, whether you just want to drop a dress size so you’re more comfortable on the beach or you have a long-term aim to lose weight for your health’s sake (or even just for vanity, nothing wrong with that!). Cambridge Weight Plan can help!! It’s not just an effective method of losing weight safely and quickly, more importantly it teaches you how to achieve a long-term balance of nutrition and exercise. Dieters learn how their body responds to different foods, which foods give them the best nutritional value and the importance of keeping hydrated – even more essential in the heat. The same part of the brain deals with hunger and thirst so it’s very easy to think we’re hungry when all we really need is a glass of water – not that chocolate bar!

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.

For more information, go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL *the rate of weight loss may vary according to the individual.

Kersey Mill Newsletter Flour mills required large areas to store cereals prior to milling, these areas are known as Bin Stores and are, in the case of Kersey Mill, located on the third floor just below the sack floor at the very top of the mill.

Cereals would be lifted straight off the cart in 2cwt sacks, raised by the sack hoist that was powered by the waterwheel, through the Lucum, being the part of the mill that protrudes at the top of the mill on the front elevation.

Once the grain, oats or beans etc. have arrived on the sack floor they would be emptied into shoots that lead down to the different storage areas. These Bin Stores would have ladders leading into them where the miller or apprentice as the case maybe could access the bin for operational, maintenance and cleaning purposes .Located within the floors of the Bin stores are further shoots with Blast Gates that can direct the contents to either the mill stones or various crushers and cleaning equipment located on the lower floors.

These stores suffered incredible damage to the timbers from water damage resulting in the floors and joist rotting away in their entirety, so much so that we have been unable to gain access to these areas until know.

The recent phase of restoration has concentrated on these areas and we now have safe access with new floors and carefully repositioned blast gates. The Bin Stores ordinarily had flat floors that would have required regular sweeping and moving of grain, the bin located within the far rear right-hand corner has been modified at some point with the insertion of a sloping floor, presumably to alleviate some of the issues with a flat floor and allow gravity to help with the process. Whilst working within these areas we have discovered quite a few inscriptions, some of drawings, poems and others that include dates, one reads “A Bumstead born at Bramford April 20th 1855” our research would suggest that this was Arthur Robert Bumstead. His parents were Henry Bumstead (1829-1904) and Pleasance Grimwade (1828-1898).

Father was a shoe maker. Arthur married Catherine Emma Ranson who lived in Bildeston. Occupation recorded as a millers apprentice as was his brother Charles Henry Bumstead. He died January 4th 1913.

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish

Others read ”Harry Green Hadleigh 1872” Simon Green informs us that this is probably Harry T Green born March 3rd 1850, Simon has not said if he is related. An inscription that our farmer friends may find interesting is “Harvest began August 30th 1879 very late” We have not had sufficient time to decipher all the inscriptions yet many are very faded and the light is quite poor. If anyone is interested in trying to decipher others they are very welcome to come along.

We have a few remaining tickets for the Summer Ball on Saturday 30th July. £38 pp. Proceeds to the restoration fund.

SKy Watch

by Neil Norman

Space Weather July is here and technically the nights are getting slightly longer thankfully.

Still a bit to go until we can do some serious practical work, so I thought this month I'd talk about our most treasured topic; the weather. Now, being an astronomer I have to know the weather with great accuracy so that I can plan my observing schedule as well as others; I'm constantly assessing the situation for 10 days or more ahead and I can tell you now the paper headlines of "worst heatwave ever on way" and so on is basically rubbish. But this said, we moan about getting soaked popping down the High St to pick up a loaf of bread or pint of milk, but what is the weather like on other planets?

But the rain, what would your fist guess be? Well, if you just said "Diamonds" you go to the top of the class. As hard as it is to believe, this what happens. To allow this we need the most essential ingredient ; lightning.

April Cottage, Powney Street, Milden, Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 7AL The lightning literally fries the methane, which in turn creates hydrogen and Email: info@april-cottage-cattery.co.uk burnt carbon (soot). This then clumps together to form graphite and as this falls towards the centre of the planets, the immense pressures compact the graphite to create diamonds. In fact, 1,000 tons of diamonds are made per www.facebook.com/aprilcottcats year on these planets. The Gas Giants are truly "A Girls Best Friend "!

Now, you think that's cool? Let's look at a couple of exo-planets that are orbiting stars that we've discovered. Firstly, the very catchy named HD189733B. This is a planet that orbits around &S S LD T OO N NL T & S O N L T&D a star in the constellation of Vulpecula which lies in our skies near Cygnus, Lyra and Hercules, some DomesticPlumbing & omme&rcHeating ial PPlumbing lumbing & & HeHeating ating Domestic & Commercial Domestic &CCommercial 63 light years away, so in stellar terms, a neighbour.

Its temperature is around 1400 degrees Kelvin, is blue and also tidally locked to its Star, or in other words, it always presents the same face to its Sun, just as our Moon only shows one face to us. Above is an artists interpretation of what it looks like. But the weather? well, given the conditions it faces would you believe it rains glass and horizontally too due to its ultra fast orbital rotation. A highly treacherous situation I think you'll agree.

And finally, we move to the orange planet above; OGLE-TR-56B. Now this little feller lies away in the constellation of Sagittarius and its colour may well give you a clue to the type of rain you'll get there, think of our beloved Mars.

‘Do-it-yourself’ divorces: why going it alone can be a risky choice The emotional strain aside, divorce usually has significant financial implications for both parties – which makes the prospect of avoiding paying lawyers’ fees an attractive one.

So-called ‘do-it-yourself’ on-line divorces have risen in popularity in recent years, fuelled largely by cuts to legal aid and a desire to quicken the process. However, for the vast majority of separations, going it alone is a very risky choice – and one which could cause you serious problems further down the line.

In most cases, paying a little extra for a solicitor – who will probe deeper into your needs, both present and future, to ensure that you are making the right decisions – is money very well spent. Even if you believe that your financial situation is relatively straightforward, failure to seek expert legal advice could have serious financial consequences years later.

For instance, if you do not have a formal Financial Order drawn up and signed by both you and your ex-spouse and confirmed by the court, either one of you could make a claim on each other’s future earnings, long after the decree absolute was issued. That could mean that you are forever looking over your shoulder if, for example, you receive a financial windfall after your divorce.

Issues surrounding child arrangements (custody), property and pensions can further complicate the matter – and increase the need for expert guidance.

How can we help? I can meet you in any of our offices in Ipswich, Hadleigh, Woodbridge, Melton and Felixstowe, contact me on 01473 822102.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Mum’s got babies all over the place.

Kittens in the kitchen, fledglings over the fireplace, ducklings on the dining table, all demanding yet another feed.

Just as they all settled down, a bunch of orphaned partridge chicks arrived.

It’s enough to drive a chap quackers!

Meanwhile the volunteers are preparing for the SESAW Open Day and Fun Dog Show, open midday on Sunday 31st July, 12-4pm. Four hours of family fun and entertainment on “the happiest day of our year” as my human friend Sandra once said. We hope lots of our rehomed canines will return to enter the special ex-SESAW dog class - or just to say hello. Other classes include Best Puppy, Golden Oldie, Waggiest Tail and Most Appealing Eyes For the people, there will be food, games, competitions, our Wildlife Guru George Millins, food, stalls selling pet items, gifts, books, BBQ, did I mention food? Old friends and new are welcome so enjoy the day, music from the Long Melford Silver Band and don’t forget to meet all the animals too. Free parking, 50p admission.

Before our big day, the Shelley Centre, Layham Road, IP7 5QY, has kindly invited us to it’s Fun Dog Show on 9th July, starting at 11am. The next day, Sunday 10th, we will have a stall at the Long Melford Street Fair from 2-7pm.

The organisers have lots of family entertainment planned.

I’ll need a Kenmobile to chauffeur me through the crowds at our Open Day but I’ll steer clear of the Dog Show. Mum says I’m in a class of my own. and they don’t have a “Most Bossy” category to suit me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Six months of trading and business for Spice Takeaway is still hot, hot, hot!

A Hadleigh business venture which opened just over six months ago is celebrating strong sales, a warm welcome and a growing interest from customers in hotter and newer items on their menu.

Spice Takeaway is an Indian takeaway on Hadleigh High Street situated between Gregg’s and The George. Joint owner Nurul Amin, who had previously run a restaurant in the town for over 30 years, described “how great it is to be back cooking great food for local people”.

We have been very pleased with how Spice is doing, moved by how kind the local community has been about our new venture and surprised by how keen many customers are to try out totally new dishes”.

As well ensuring that popular recipes such as chicken tikka masala were available, Nurul was keen to introduce examples of regional south Asian cooking. Particularly popular examples of these newer items include kali mirch, a spicy Goan chicken dish, paka malwa, lamb in a sweet mango sauce and jaal Bangla naga, a fish recipe from Bangladesh. “It seems that these new items have really caught hold of people’s imaginations – and their tastebuds” added Nurul.

Spice Takeaway continues to financially support the work of the Rosa Simon Music Fund, which was set up in 2014 to provide Suffolk children with musical opportunities.

Party in The Park 2016 Sudbury’s Party in the Park will be opened by local group, Phoenix Suffolk Community Marchers. The band will perform a lively procession through Belle Vue Park, where the popular event is held. The free all day event, now in its eighth year, is run by the town council and aims to raise the profile of the diverse range of clubs and groups in and around the town.

Thousands of people are expected to attend this year’s event, which will see displays from several local groups including martial arts, keep fit, exercise routines, a children’s entertainer, and rugby. Out of the main arena there will be a range of activities including circus workshops, football skills, bowls, golf, music drop-in sessions, bungee trampolines, climbing wall, rugby skills, bungee runs, Punch and Judy shows and bouncy castles. In the evening local bands will provide live music.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday 24th July, starting at 11am. No admittance after 8pm.

We are delighted to announce that three of our experienced technicians have qualified to the high standards of Woolsafe for the safest, no risk cleaning and care for your carpets. Our company is proud to have the most amount of qualified Woolsafe Fibre care Technicians in the county.

Have you ever questioned whether your carpets, rugs, or soft furnishings should be cleaned? Many do question it and they are normally persuaded with the answer no, it’s not worth it as they are never the same again.

But the answer is YES!! They should be cleaned. But having the correct type of cleaning is the key factor to ensure the right results are achieved.

A carpet cleaner is a carpet cleaner though? Right!! No, Wrong. We all believe that if something looks cleaner then it is cleaner but when we look into it a bit deeper, we find some interesting answers.

The most popular fibre used in carpets in the UK are Wool. Wool is extremely good at hiding soil and responds extreme well to cleaning, however it is also extremely delicate. 95% of carpet cleaners in the UK are trained normally by American systems and process from where the industry started, but the carpets are mainly man made synthetics. When the trained carpet cleaners clean a wool fibre in the UK, it looks good until a few weeks later then starts to attract dirt quickly, feels course and gritty, spills become stains and the appearance is poor. Our Woolsafe approved technicians are trained and qualified to clean wool to the set British standards to ensure that the delicate fibres are not damaged in any way. The fibres will look deeper in colour, feel softer and last longer with this type of cleaning service without the risk of damage from cleaning it the same way as a manmade fibre that will certainly cause damage and determination.

With the correct tailored cleaning processes, we can ensure that the fibres are maintained and cleaned to extend the life and keep the luxurious appearance that wool deserves.

District and Town Councillor Simon Barrett with Gordon Hardy trying out one of the new hire boats on the River Stour at Sudbury It is estimated the return of rowing boats, kayaks and canoes for hire on the River Stour at Sudbury will generate up to £200,000 in ancillary tourist spend by the end of the summer. Historically, rowing boats for hire from the Boathouse Restaurant site were a common feature popular with locals and tourists alike. However, both the boats and the restaurant ceased to trade more than 15 years ago when Ballingdon Bridge was being rebuilt. The bridge work was completed in 2002 but the Boathouse Restaurant remained closed until it was reopened as part of the Rare Cow franchise in 2015.

Following a successful trail period last summer, which attracted hundreds of visitors the boats have now returned on a regular basis.

Simon Barrett, portfolio holder for growth and local economy at Babergh District Council, said: “The return of the hire boats from the Boathouse House site is great news for Sudbury. We are confident from the trial last year that the boats will stimulate a significant economy boost from the tourism spend, which is good news for local businesses and residents alike. “For many years these boats were an important feature of Sudbury life, popular with both tourists and local residents and it is fabulous to have them back after such a long absence.

Sudbury is already a great tourist destination and having the boats available again adds another string to its bow.”

The boats will now be available for hire every weekend and during holiday times up until the end of September. People have the choice of a gentle row upstream, longer paddles to local restaurants at Henny and Nayland and the more adventurous can even go all the way out to sea at Cattawade.

Gordon Hardy, director of the Outdoor Hire Centre, which is running the hire scheme, said. “We are delighted to have brought the boats back to Sudbury.

This stretch of the river is a treasured and tranquil place immortalised by the works of Constable and Gainsborough. It is a great experience to see this part of the landscape from the water. We will limit the amount of hires on each day to protect the tranquillity of the area, which is what makes it so special. During the trial last year 80% of our custom was via tourists, which is great news for the local economy. Tourists will generate an ancillary spend at local amenities such as restaurants, hotels, cafes, gift shops and other attractions.“However, the boats are not just available for tourists, we would like to encourage more local people to come along and enjoy this beautiful stretch of river, which goes through a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is right on their doorstep.”

For more information on the hire boats from the Boathouse site go to www.outdoorhirecentres.com or telephone 01206 700 707.

WoW (Women On Wheels) Sudbury Returns – Calling all Women and Girls to get on their bike WoW Sudbury returns on Sunday 18th September following last year’s successful event with over 100 women and girls taking part. With a choice of a 5, 20 or 50 mile route available through countryside and cycle paths around Sudbury and surrounding villages.

The event will start at AFC Sudbury, the ride will be fully marshaled, signed and with on route stops for tea and cake, open to women and girls aged eight and over of all abilities. To kick off the launch of WoW Sudbury 2016 a charity spinning event was held at Kingfisher Leisure Centre yesterday with all proceeds raised going to St Nicholas Hospice Care. South Suffolk Leisure’s staff spent a total of 10 hours spinning.

Tracey Loynds, Chief Executive of South Suffolk Leisure said: “We are delighted to be hosting the second WoW event in Sudbury especially after the success of last year’s event and the charity spinning event was a great event to launch WoW Sudbury 2016. Why not dig your bikes out of the back of the shed, dust of the cobwebs and pump up your tires and come and join us for a great day out.”

One of the most fulfilling aspects of WoW is seeing the joy on the faces of the women and girls taking part, often rediscovering the pleasure of being on a bike, and this is reflected in many of the testimonials. “Wow, what a fantastic event. Well organised, lovely weather, a few hills but loads of cake. We will be back.” “Amazing day, superb organisation, so friendly.” “Fantastic event, great route, good opportunity to meet other ladies.”

St Nicholas Hospice Care’s Community Fundraiser George Chilvers said: “We are very grateful to be having WoW Sudbury in aid of the hospice again especially after the amazing amount raised last year of £6045, as we rely so heavily on the local community to help us enable people to have the very best experience in the final chapters of their lives. As the palliative care provider for Sudbury, it’s so important for us to get support from the town – this event is doing just that. Please sign up and together we really can help. Thank you.”

To register for the WoW Ride visit www.stnicholashospice.org.uk/wowsudbury Entry is £15 for the 20 and 50 mile ride and £5 for the 5 mile ride.

Nancy Muriel Allen Nancy passed away on 22nd May at West Suffolk Hospital after a short illness.

Nancy, although had resided in Elmswell since 1987 was a Hadleigh girl at heart. I am sure many will remember Nancy at Allen’s Stores at 12 High Street Hadleigh before it closed in 1983, when she retired with her husband Cecil.

Nancy will always be remembered by her smiling face and her friendly attitude.

She is survived by Cecil who was her constant companion. They celebrated 63 years of marriage in March. Nancy will be greatly missed by all the family including her sons, grand children and great grand children.

Hadleigh and District Gardening Club One of the great things about our gardening club evenings is that there is always something new to learn – you might not take up every idea but there is often something to spark interest in following up.

At our June meeting we enjoyed a lively talk by Lucy Redman who covered various garden art ideas. Lucy, a former pupil of Hadleigh High, until recently had opened her Bury St Edmunds garden to the public but is now studying art and design, bringing her keen interest in plants to her new craft. She used both pictures and sample plants to demonstrate her colourful ideas. Have you ever thought, once your alliums have dropped their flowers, to then spray-paint the seed heads that remain to prolong the colour in your garden from these spectacular structural plants?

Lucy’s ideas were numerous and we were all impressed by one effort using pins and wire to trace out the veins of a gunnera leaf on a white background, especially when a light was shone on it. Simple but effective.

Our next meeting – Monday July 11th For our next meeting we are bringing back an old favourite, a tour of selected members gardens. We start at 6.00pm and plan to reach our last garden by 8.00pm where refreshments will be served. Each member has details of the itinerary. If you are interested in coming along please contact us on 01473 824573.

Delphi Sports and Social club is open for bookings As result of the Sudbury Town Council’s decision recently to give notice of their intention to review their position of directly running the Delphi Club, the users of the centre have been holding regular meetings to determine how best to respond to that decision.

It was felt that a more proactive approach to maximise the use of the club was required in order to reduce the club’s deficit and fully utilise the facility , we are therefore getting directly involved in the promotion of the club and are inviting Sports clubs, Societies, organisations and individuals to make enquiries about the availability of the Sports facilities, which has an enclosed Sports field and is one of the best in the area and the club itself which has an outstanding Dance floor and several rooms that are available for Meetings, Parties, Dances etc. There are a number of clubs, groups and organisations that are using the club on a regular basis but there is still plenty of opportunities for other groups and individuals to make bookings, the Sports ground and changing facilities are available every Saturday and Sunday afternoons, bookings can be made at the Sudbury Town Council offices and the premises can be inspected by appointment, directly at the club or Sudbury Town Hall.

With your support we are confident of the clubs future and will be having discussions over the next few months, with Delphi and the Town Council about how best this can be achieved.

Further information can be obtained from Ray Ward Chairman of the Delphi users group by phone on 01206263189 or e mail at 4vathelp@gmail.com

Down to Earth ...with Dave Having returned from a rather challenging week away on a narrowboat on the Grand Union canal based at Market Harborough - narrowboats are my other passion - it was rather a shock to find that we had to put the central heating back on when we arrived home. Still the garden and the allotment had survived well, with enough rain to keep everything growing.

The first job was to catch up on the weeding and then to start thinning out the rows of parsnips, carrots, chard and spinach, with the spinach and chard thinnings used as lovely baby leaves, either to cook or to eat as salad leaves.

It is just possible to fill in any gaps with some of the small plants that have been pulled up and if you are lucky, with plenty of watering, they may well survive the shock of being transplanted.

The two rows of celeriac have been planted out, these are a cross between celery and turnip and not everyone’s favourite vegetable as they are a bit ugly and do need some extra care when growing. As the name suggests the flavour is very similar to celery. They can be left in the ground even over winter as neither flavour nor texture deteriorate with age. The runner beans, sown directly into the ground this year, are up and growing very well. It does make me wonder if it is really worth all the effort of growing the seed on in the greenhouse. The climbing French beans have not done so well, with very poor germination rate, but there is still time to sow some fresh seed directly into the ground.

Back in the garden it should be safe to give the hedges a trim as any nesting birds should have flown. One trick I use is to cut the hedge with the electric trimmer and then pick up the trimmings with the rotary lawnmower, this is easier and makes for quicker composting down on the compost heap at the allotment. One bush that will not be cut just yet is the ceanothus or Californian lilac. I have never seen so many blue flowers on our hedge. The whole bush is alive with the buzzing of hundreds of bees, it would be very cruel to destroy this until the flowers have died back.

June sees the start of the open garden season and kicks off with Hadleigh Hidden Gardens, with twenty eight places to visit, not all are actually gardens as the Bridge Street allotments were open to visitors as was the Guildhall and the Row Chapel in George Street. This tiny very old almshouse chapel is still in regular use with services every week and is well worth a visit if you get the chance. The allotment site boasts a very state of the art composting toilet, something we could do with up at Gallows Hill. I did manage to visit most of the gardens before the heavens opened up and put a damper on things. Such a variety of different gardens both large and small with lovely people to talk to about their ongoing project or their pride and joy.

That’s all for this time, Dave

Local Mayor visits Care Home as part of National Celebration Day Hadleigh Mayor Councillor, Trevor Sheldrick and Deputy Mayor, Councillor Yvonne Free visted a care home in Hadleigh to join in the home’s seaside themed special event. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor payed a call on Anchor’s Canterbury House on Gallows Hill, Hadleigh on Friday 17 June as part of national celebration Care Home Open Day. Manager Irene Worsdell said: “We were thrilled that the Mayor has shared in our fun-filled day complete with a ‘virtual’ beach, donkeys and Punch & Judy.

We work so hard to provide top quality care at Canterbury House and want the older people living here to have fun and fulfilling lives.”

Councillor Sheldrick found out more about Care Home Open Day, the theme for which this year was celebrating care as a career. He and the Deputy Mayor were given a tour of the home and met staff and residents to see how we improve the lives of older people. Suffolk MP James Cartlidge visited two of the other 5 Anchor care homes in Suffolk earlier in the day – Devonshire House in Cavendish and St Joseph’s in Sudbury.

There was another reason for celebration as resident Mrs Betty Hawks celebrated her 90th birthday that day. She thoroughly being a ‘Queen for the Day’ sitting in a deckchair on the improvised beach sipping champagne!

Care Home Open Day is an annual event run in thousands of care homes across the UK aimed at encouraging members of the public to see the quality care in their local care homes.

Jo Bown, Community Partnership Manager, commented: “A career in care is hugely rewarding and offers lots of opportunities for personal development.

There are also plenty of financial benefits. At Anchor, we believe in paying our people a salary that rewards their commitment and great customer service. That’s why our care staff are paid above the Government’s National Living Wage.

“Unfortunately many jobseekers don’t realise this. There will be an estimated shortfall of 718,000 carers needed to meet the demands of the country’s ageing population by 2025 so we need more people to realise they can do well by doing good.”

For further information on Anchor’s care homes in Suffolk or working with Anchor, contact 0800 731 2020.

GET READY FOR SUMMER! AIR CONDITIONING SERVICING

£49.95 inc *Hybrid Vehicles are subject to an additional charge Day 1 Arrived Aldeburgh 4.30am like excited school kids. Praying for tailwinds and sunshine, and maybe cake on the way. It was very cold especially as I braved shorts. I had a puncture! How is that possible? Not even started and a puncture! The other riders got underway by police escort. I stayed back to fix my bike so the first 25 miles were making up for lost time. The sun started to shine, the roads were flat but we knew not to overdo it. A long ride ahead.

Initially we were riding as a large group, but there came a touching of wheels.

One rider crashed. He was lucky and fell into a field. He and bike all good.

The route went near my house. My family met us with banners and cake for all riders. It was amazing. Carol, the best supporter in the world. To Hartest for lunch, sitting on the green in the sunshine, eating sandwiches and cake.

Lovely. Onwards to Newmarket, fast and flat roads, beautiful countryside, and then Cambridge. This was a nightmare to get through, loads of traffic. So much for being biker friendly! 92 miles in the bag.

Day 2 Cambridge to Stratford upon Avon. Weather perfect. 25 miles fast and flat to the first tea stop. We had an unscheduled stop at a shop called The Cake Shop. Well it would be rude not to. But the ride after was hard. Lunch was great. More cakes! Then the hills started. One was 14%. The hill down was awesome and a new speed record for me of 43.6mph. The hills continued to come and roll but my legs felt good.

Day 3 was incredibly tough. Stratford upon Avon to Hay on Wye. 7500ft of climbing. The morning was beautiful, flat and fast, great spirits in the team.

Then the hills came. And boy did they come again and again. Mental toughness, regular breaks and great support crew got us through. This was one of the hardest rides I have ever done. My legs were well and truly broken.

I had little sleep, a bit emotional chatting to family Day 4 90miles 7500ft of climbing. It was tipping it down and I felt couldn't ride.

Everything hurt, and mentally I was on another planet. I decided to lead out, get my head down for the first climb. Well somehow I flew up the hill and my body and mind boom back in it. Got to the top. The rain was awful but we kept going for 25 miles and heard about a cake shop and pie shop in the next town, both to die for apparently. We spent the next 20 miles deciding pie or cake. We arrived in the town and had pie and coffee. Maybe rude not to try the cake shop, so we had cake too. The ride was stunning, around a reservoir and dams.

Then the wind kicked in. It was incredibly hard. 10.5 mph was all we could manage. Really pushing, it was going to be a long ride. We arrived at the famous farmhouse climb about one mile long but so steep that the front wheel kept lifting up whilst sitting down, but spinning the rear whilst standing.

The final push was to Devils Bridge. We pushed to the top, the view was spectacular Dave and I crossed the line together. Two very happy chaps.That was just awesome!!

It was not cricket â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it was not golf either! Sports became somewhat confused at the Newton Green lady captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day of Sally Cade when members of the golf club decided to celebrate the occasion with a tribute to her second sport. A 12-handicap golfer, recently retired Colchester sports teacher Sally is a cricket coach.

Her late father Ken Taylor played for Warwickshire and was Nottinghamshire manager (1978-90). She and husband Peter, whose wedding reception was at Trent Bridge, now follow Essex cricket, and were recently in New Zealand to see the World Cup. As a result of all these cricket connections, Sally was persuaded to don pads and waive a bat as she led her captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day celebrations. Lady members then got down to the serious part of the day, golf, playing 18 hole 4 ball better ball with the aid of a piece of string, paying for drives to be taken by Sally, or a male member of the Club who shall remain nameless. The proceeds for these privileges went to the Captainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charity, the Sudbury Kernos Centre.

Results: 53 points Jill Symonds and Lizzie Johnson, 52 ocb Laura Lowe and Susan Sills, 52 Adrienne Hughes and Gwyneth Ferriera. Front nine, Pat Walsh and Pat Hawkins 28. Back nine Di Cunningham and Leighann Wordley 27.

Nearest pin 13th hole Jenny Wilkins. Nearest pin on 6th Laura Lowe.

The day would not have been such a success without hard work put in by many members but especially Ladies Vice-Captain, Rebecca Evans, the men who helped with serving refreshments, ladies who provided refreshments.

Fred’s 40ft French Connection A stunning 40 foot putt on the first play-off hole sent Newton Green seniors into the last eight of the Suffolk Parks Trophy.

It was all-square on holes won when the second round tie of four foursomes with Felixstowe Ferry reached its conclusion at Newton. The home pairing of Fred French and Nick Smith was sent out to contest the sudden death play off, and with the former sinking a monster Team, left to right: Fred French, Mike putt to win the stroke index Barnes, Ian Duncan (non playing three first hole, the home side captain), Steve Cragg, Peter Philpott, was through to entertain Nick Smith, Ken Goodright, Brian Joy Haverhill or Flynn Valley in the and David Slater. the next round.

Newton, which has seldom progressed through the first round of the county competition, achieved a win with a side consisting of several longer handicap players who were above the 12-handicap allowance limit for the contest meaning several faced additional penalties against lower handcapped opposition.

Stoke by Nayland Ladies Open Fewer entries this year (78 from 11 clubs) which, in the circumstances, was probably a good thing. All the ladies were greeted at the entrance to the Club and either directed, if they had been before, or shown which changing room to use and where to register.

The weather forecast had not been good but on the day it looked as though it might stay dry until the middle of the Paula Tennant (centre) from Hintlesham afternoon. This was not to be. had an eagle on the par 5, 5th Thunder and lightning left the Gainsborough. pro shop no option but to call On left Club Captain Ian Thompson, the ladies in before 3pm. on right Ladies Captain Betty Cox. Four teams had finished their game so it was agreed that the others would not be asked to go out again as this would delay the lunch too much. A 2 tee start meant that all teams had completed at least one nine so it was decided to make it a 9 hole competition with a first, second and third prize for each 9 and the overall winners being those with the highest 9 hole score.

All ladies passed the halfway hut before the interruption and enjoyed the delicious home baked refreshments supplied by a band of volunteers.

Organisers, Barbara Jones and Stella Buchanan thanked all those who helped on the day but gave special thanks to Captain Ian and Vice Captain Don who did the scoring and calmly dealt with the time consuming and mind boggling task of creating some acceptable results from all the uncompleted cards.

The winners on countback, with 41 points on the back 9, were Meg Ramsey, Ann Graves, Pippa Neal and Nina Neilson from Woodbridge and there was a very nice email from them waiting for the organisers when they got home at the end of the day. Six birdies were scored and an eagle 3 on the 5th.
