Sign up for The Gayford Flyer...

Cyclists are busy signing up for the Gayford Flyer, Hadleigh’s own sportive on September 18th. Last year’s event attracted over 200 cyclists and Hadleigh Cycling Club is looking to tempt even more. The sportive is named “The Gayford Flyer” in recognition of the town’s world record breaking aviator, Oswald Gayford. The 60 and 32 mile routes will take riders past landmarks including Gayford family home on Angel Street, RAF Wattisham where he served as commander and also his final resting place in Naughton. Adam Chamberlin, Chair of the Club said, “We had tremendous feedback from those who took part in last year’s event. Everyone commented that it was well run and it is only £10 to enter.” Last year’s Flyer impressed British Cycling and their representative commented that it “was a super event – well thought through, well executed and very enjoyable to be part of.” Details of the event can be found at www.thegayfordflyer.info. Cyclists can only sign up via www.britishcycling.org.uk and the last day for registering is 11th September.

There will live music and refreshments at The George Public House for the riders and their friends and family after the Sportive. The sportive is supported by The Pedal House, The George, Sunny Day Cycleworks, Crockatt Garage and Rattlesden Gliding Club. The Club will also make a donation to local charity, The Brendan Oakes Trust.

Layton Williams - star of stage and screen was welcomed by Miss Lesley's School of Performing Arts (MLSPA) to Chamberlin Hall in Bildeston to host a number of dance master classes to both existing students and local dancers. After each of the classes there was a question and answer session where he chatted about his career, which has seen him go from playing Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace Theatre and a young Michael Jackson in Thriller Live in London's West End to starring in BBC dramas Beautiful People and Bad Education.

He also starred in the Bad Education film alongside comedian Jack Whitehall in 2015. Local Hadleigh resident, Emma Knock, Aged 16, who will start a performing arts course at Suffolk One this month said "I first saw Layton at the Ipswich Regent in Hairspray and he is such a talented and confident performer. The workshop was harder than expected, but I really enjoyed it!"

Owin Fellingham, one of Suffolk's own Billy Elliot's, Aged 9 who loves both football AND performing said "Layton was about my age when he started to dance and this really inspires me to carry on dancing/performing. I would like to be as good a dancer as Layton one day". Layton really enjoyed his time in Bildeston and as the sun shone he did see Suffolk at its finest! Lesley Woods, Principle at MLSPA said "it's fantastic that in a rural village we have given the opportunity for local children to participate in a masterclass with such a talented dancer and performer". Layton is currently up and down the country running workshops and inspiring the next generation of performers before his next role in the hit musical "Rent" which begins its tour later this year.

Its so nice to be back in business again. Babs and I have had our room thoroughly cleaned and swept, all the spiders and flies have been moved on. The stable block, kitchen, office and feed room, not to mention the toilet, have been tackled in the same way and everything looks fresh and tidy.

How does it happen, you ask. Well, its team work again. Our volunteers all offer something in the way of time or skills that helps create this fabulous atmosphere at the Shelley Centre, and keeps the place working for our disabled riders. Please, we do need more help! Volunteers naturally come and go, lives move on, jobs change, and suddenly we have a short fall for September. If you think you would be able to spare a couple of hours per week to join us please get in touch with Margaret Fowler our vice chairman, who will gratefully slot you into the week’s rota. No previous experience necessary, but reliability essential, and it’s a phone call away:- 01206 337 229.

At this year’s AGM long serving volunteers received their certificates and then posed for this photo; jointly they have clocked up 345 years’ service here, wow!

During the holidays that old curse of our fields, ragwort, burst in to flower again. Lyn organised a ragwort pulling and Pims party for a noble crowd of helpers. It was a very hot day and the labour force was well rewarded, as you can see. They are lined up in the shade to quaff their payment. Thank you everyone, I’m sure the live horses and ponies appreciate it.

I’ll finish by reminding any friendly riders and their mounts to come on our sponsored ride this month.You’ll have a gorgeous route to follow (and they tell me a pit stop at a pub) and your entry fee and sponsorship will help our coffers enormously. Here’s a photo of the field behind the Centre being used for a therapeutic ride, Parys and April doing their stuff and the volunteers making it all look so easy, but it shows what lovely countryside we enjoy and would like to share with you on Sunday 11th September.

It’s That Time Again The Summer is just behind us. The stores are already full of Autumn and Winter clothes - and scary though it is - Christmas is just sixteen weeks away. As you wonder about the difficulty of choosing presents, why not give a thought to having a picture framed?

Whether it’s a selfie, professional portrait or certificate, any image can be improved by a wellchosen mount and frame combination. It may feel a little overwhelming when faced with a wall full of frame samples, but, working by appointment in my garden studio in George Street, I can offer you as much time and advice as you may need to get the perfect solution. You need never feel rushed and can get a quote with no obligation. There are new mouldings which are really beautiful and reflect style changes in interior décor, including some striking finishes that appear rough in texture and others that have a driftwood or sandblasted wood effect that accentuate the natural grain. We have been extending our range of services to plain wood frames painted in shades chosen from our selection of Farrow and Ball, Rustoleum and Myland paints. You may of course already own the shade you would like. As a former RAF and BA pilot Jim is well qualified to advise on military and aviation framing.

This year we have framed a Hadleigh Cycling Club’s jersey that is on show in the Pedal Store; memorabilia and medals; ceramic panels of art; maps; stretched oils and stitchwork and even framed a plastercast imprint of a baby’s feet!

Using an on-site Epson professional scanner or your own files and Epson pro photo-printer, we can, subject to copyright, reproduce old photos, posters or other images up to A2 size on the highest quality paper or canvas. Posters and most printed matter can be dry mounted or laminated, and there are many ways to decorate the frame to personalise it - so the only limit is your imagination.

If you would like to discuss your thoughts try ringing Jim Duckham GCF on 01473 829825, he is a fully qualified framer and member of the Fine Art Trade Guild – but don’t let that put you off!

Walnut Tree Framing Fully qualified Fine Art Trade Guild member Working by appointment from a fully equipped studio we offer bespoke framing of art and memorabilia to your exact needs.

We can dry-mount posters and photos and stretch/square fabric for framing. If it’s worth showing then it’s worth doing the job properly and if required we can frame your work to conservation standards.

Visit us to get a no-obligation quotation - we aim to give a friendly professional customer experience and will help in designing your frame and mount combination.We can also produce a computer generated image of your final design at no extra charge. Evening and weekend appointments are available.

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.

Fees: Adult £48 (payable after the first session). Try the first session (free).

For further information please contact Sue Whiteley.

Walk 42 miles in one day?

He’s either mad or Dick Beechener!

Dick Beechener, the current Worshipful Master of Brett Valley Lodge in Hadleigh had wanted to contribute to the Lodge’s fundraising by doing something a little different. So on Saturday 6th August, Dick, together with his daughter Alison, walked 42.2 miles from Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge back to Hadleigh Town Hall where the Lodge hold their meetings. They commenced the walk at 6 am in the morning on one of the hottest days of the year, arriving back in Hadleigh some 14 hours later at 8 pm.

Dick and Alison commented shortly after finishing that they were both feeling fine, a little sore and glad to be home! All the brethren of Brett Valley Lodge congratulated them on this very tough and substantial feat which has currently raised a sum in excess of £1600.

There is still time to sponsor Dick and Alison if you wish... contact them on - richard.beechener@yahoo.co.uk

Howard at Bower House Farm Hello my loyal followers: my heart sinks when I see the combine harvesters at work. I know that the better part of the Summer months have gone and cold dark evenings are on their way. It was a lovely sunny day when a call came through from the Estate Office at Bower House Farm.

The Lord of the Manor that surveys the rolling hills, fields and woodland wondered if I would like to see the combine harvester in operation as the Barley was ready to cut. I was pleased to meet Richard Morton who farms the acres and masterminds the operation of the combine harvester from an enormous air conditioned cabin which was almost as big as the Drawing Room at the Gibbons’ residence. We were at Cox Field which is about 32 acres. The combine harvester is one of the largest in the area with a swathe of 30 foot and Richard skilfully cuts up to 60 acres a day without a stalk to be seen. Richard is assisted by navigation sensors on the outer wings of the combine. 1000 litres of fuel is used a day. It was fortunate that Frank my chauffeur had delivered me to the Estate in a lovely new maroon Range Rover which had been loaned to us by Land Rover. The Lord of the Manor took us on a tour across the farm which took a good part of the afternoon as we navigated country tracks from Kersey to Boxford and back to Polstead. There were enormous grain stores with dryers and massive heaps of rape seed. I happened to mention that Maria spent many an hour when relaxing stroking Frank’s rabbit who is called Flopsy. I was slipped a lovely bale of straw and Flopsy will enjoy stretching out and rolling in it.

Frank will also pop some under his strawberries – it does wonders to extend the growing season and to keep the fruit pert.

I had a very interesting day at The Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

Frank delivered us and we were given special parking very close to the Control Tower and the runway. Cheese scones and coffee, a picnic lunch of home made sausage pie followed by ground rice and jelly. The Household continues to function wherever it moves! I well remember in 1977 when Concorde was flown into Duxford before the runway was shortened by the M11.

Meanwhile the office functions with alacrity. No matter who the estate agents recommend to you, come to us for certain independent advice for your property dealings. We have practised in Hadleigh for fourteen years and I have been qualified as a Solicitor for 31 years so do take the benefit of all that experience. Don’t put off doing that Will – make an appointment to come to see me. A Lasting Power of Attorney is an important document to have in hand so that your affairs can be handled even if you should lose mental capacity.

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 Over recent years life has not been a bundle of laughs for rail passengers in my constituency. Yet for all the service disruption and endless frustrations on the Greater Anglia service, we finally have some really good news. I know those who have had to endure the worst of Abellio's service will have had very mixed emotions on hearing of their success in winning the new decade's worth of franchise. Yet I can honestly say that the new prospectus from Abellio exceeds all my best hopes and expectations. Going into the tender, we all hoped that we would get new rolling stock on the main line. I even dreamt that one of the bidders might propose sprucing up the branch line trains such as those which run out of Sudbury to Marks Tey. In fact, we have a commitment to replace the entire fleet of trains at every point on the Anglian network. Aside from the obvious implications for better and more reliable services on the mainline, the commission for new hybrid trains that can run on both diesel and electric has enabled Abellio to commit to extending the Gainsborough line to run through from Sudbury to Colchester - both North station and Colchester Town. I am also delighted that there is a commitment for flexible ticketing, including the possibility of part-time season tickets, something that I have campaigned for and held a House of Commons adjournment debate on in March.

Yet, whether my constituents join the service at Sudbury or directly on the main line from Manningtree, Ipswich or Colchester, there is something for everyone. 1,043 new, state of the art carriages between January 2019 and September 2020 to support the faster timetable, with a full programme of refurbishment for the current fleet in the meantime; free Wi-Fi for all passengers on trains and at stations; by 2021, there will be 32,000 more seats on services arriving at London Liverpool Street in the morning peak.

Naturally, there are caveats. We need Network Rail to deliver their side of the bargain. Also, change like this takes time - but I sincerely believe the wait will be worth it.

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. Teas will be served during the interval. The performance lasts about 2hrs 20mins including 20 minute interval. Car parking off the A1141 (Hadleigh Road). Cancellation in the event of hurricane only when the performance will be rescheduled. Tickets non-refundable.

The Lavenham Greyhound, Suffolk are celebrating this week after scooping a prestigious award for the quality of their beer, based on an independent inspection from the real ale auditors, Cask Marque.

They passed a rigorous inspection from a Cask Marque assessor, who is a qualified brewer with extensive senior level experience working in the cask ale industry.

Xanita Jobe, Manager at The Lavenham Greyhound said “This award is a great Left to Right: Hannah Street, endorsement for us. A lot of Xanita Jobe (Manager), Jamie Walton our customers visit the pub especially for the cask ale and it is really gratifying to know that we are getting the quality just right.”

The pub is now part of the ‘World’s Biggest Ale Trail’, where users of the CaskFinder app visit Cask Marque accredited pubs to try the ale. Since its foundation in 1997, Cask Marque has inspected over 600,000 pints of beer and accredited over 9,700 of the country’s 60,000 pubs estimated to serve one or more cask conditioned ales. Marque Director, Paul Nunny, said: “The Team at The Lavenham Greyhound should feel justifiably proud of this excellent achievement, which not only recognises the effort they put into serving the perfect pint but also acts as an independent guarantee of quality for their customers. “All too often, publicans don’t appreciate the care and attention cask beers require and then run the risk of losing custom by serving pints that are below par.”

Summer Of Excess..?

We all look forward to the summer and, thankfully, after an awful June, we’ve had a couple of good months this year. Days out at the seaside with the children, all-inclusive holidays and BBQs are to be enjoyed but we’re likely to overdo the ice creams, candy floss, fish & chips, burgers, beer, wine etc but they can do so much damage to our waistlines!! When we look at the holiday photos we swear “never again”! Were you hiding under your sarong on the beach while everyone else was enjoying the sun and came home lily-white as a result? If so, maybe now’s the time to deal with the holiday indulgence before we smother ourselves in our winter woollies and pretend we’re happy with the way we look! Now the children are back at school & before you know it we’ll be thinking about Christmas and getting into your party dress.....!!!

If so the BUTEYKO METHOD could be for you.

The Buteyko Method is a structured programme of breathing retraining which has been gaining attention in the medical profession and beyond. Its effectiveness was recently assessed by the British Thoracic Society (BTS), who agreed that the clinical trials to date demonstrate that it can: • Improve Asthma symptoms • Reduce use of Bronchodilators • Improve quality of life However, the numbers of therapists with the training and experience to teach Buteyko Method remains small. That is why we are particularly pleased to be able to offer this exciting treatment approach at Hadleigh Physiotherapy with our Respiratory Specialist Sarah Fowler. She can help you to feel more in control of your symptoms with a course of 1:1 sessions. The Buteyko Method is complimentary to conventional Asthma management. The aim is to maximise your wellbeing.

Sarah can also help you with: • Longstanding cough that irritates you or your spouse!

• Chest infections that you just can’t shift • Feelings that your breathing ‘just isn’t quite right’ • Problems achieving your exercise goals due to chronic lung or heart disease For more information on our Respiratory Physiotherapy service and to book an appointment with Sarah ring us on 01473 810185 or send an email to enquiries@hadleighphysio.co.uk.

Holly raises over £800 in ‘Brave the Shave’ Holly Nixon has raised over £800 from sponsorship and donations after a ‘Brave the Shave’ event in memory of her grandma Joan, who died from cancer earlier this year and whose long term battle set Holly on this fundraising path.

On Friday 29th July at a family get together we had Hollys head shave at 8pm followed by a party both for Holly and her sister who was 21. The evening went extremely well and Holly allowed various people the opportunity to cut individual plaits from her head. There were 16 plaits in total as Holly wanted as many people to be able to get involved with her experience and each plait would be maximum length for "the little princess trust" to whom the hair is being donated. We had some older members who know people now suffering and some as young as 6 who will have gained an experience not easily forgotten.

Not satisfied with just braving the shave, Holly was determined to show her dedication to the cause by going still further and having her head shaved until she was completely bald!! This caused further uproar with the crowd who thoroughly enjoyed shaving patterns into the now short hair. The final step having it wet shaved to the scalp.

As you can imagine we cant explain how proud we are of our daughter and how proud all the family is. I know grandma would have been extremely proud of what Holly has done as Macmillan offered not only grandma, but the whole family, excellent care. So many people don't yet realise how much they will need the kind of support and help they offer towards the end of life. But it is a sad fact that so many will eventually find them invaluable.

Holly would also like you to say thank you for all the support she has received from people local to her and online, it has been quite remarkable.

Friars Hall Nursing Home Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk In Hadleigh Friars Hall Nursing Home is hosting an Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk in association with Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance. This is a sponsored walk which will take place on Saturday 24th September at 2pm leaving from Friars Hall Nursing Home. We will be walking through the fields behind the Home so let’s hope for good weather. As access to the footpath is via a few steps up from the road it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. We want people to bring their dogs along for a fun afternoon which will end with high tea at Friars Hall. If you want to walk with us you can book on the Alzheimer’s Society web site or call us directly for sponsorship forms on tel: 01473 822 159 and ask for a member of the activities team.

We are looking for more walkers and more sponsors.

Friars Hall is located on Friars Road, Hadleigh, IP7 6DF

Can I create a lifetime trust to benefit my children?

From September 2016 maintenance grants will no longer be available for new university students and with tuition fees already applying to university courses, many young adults are finding it increasingly difficult to get a foot on the housing ladder. Parents often ask us if they can create a trust to save for their children.

A trust is a way of managing assets for people. There are different types of trusts and they are all taxed differently. The age at which a child is entitled to any of the trust assets, if at all, can be determined by the person who creates the trust.

Lifetime trusts (as opposed to a trust established by a will) set up by parents for children or step children under 18 who have never been married or in a civil partnership can be created and are known as Parental Trusts or Parental Settlements. Unfortunately, they may not be particularly attractive because income exceeding ÂŁ100 arising from Parental Trusts is taxed as the parent's income while the child is under 18.

The Revenue also considers that a direct gift of income producing assets by a parent to his or minor child or step child falls within the definition of 'settlement' for the purposes of the same legislation so that any income paid to the child in respect of those gifted assets is treated as the income of the parent, unless it does not exceed ÂŁ100 for the tax year. The same can even apply to the gift of cash. The idea is to stop an arrangement which effectively transfers income earned by one person to another resulting in a reduction of overall tax liability. These rules do not apply to trusts created by grandparents for grandchildren who are under 18, meaning a trust created by a grandparent may be a more attractive option.

When establishing a trust, inheritance tax and capital gains tax charges may also arise. The creation of a trust is a complicated area of law and there are other options outside the scope of the article. Therefore you should always seek professional advice to ensure what is suitable for your circumstances and that you do not have any nasty 'tax' surprises.

The Boule-in Autumn Fair Saturday 10th - Sunday 18th Sptember With the national interiors magazine ‘Living Etc’ recently describing The Boule-in’s London shop as ‘Must visit - sells authentic French homeware with an industrial vibe - strictly no froufrou’ then clearly a visit to their charming French Fair ‘Fête du Coing’ in Bildeston is the prefect way to enjoy that ‘je ne sais quoi’ French experience without the queues at Dover!

“We are very lucky” says Cathy Bullen, proprietor of the French boutique store, “We¹ve had some amazing write-ups in national magazines this summer, not only did 'Living Etc' write about our London shop but we were voted one of the 50 best antique fairs in the UK by ‘Homes and Antiques’ magazine! I think it’s because of our policy to source entirely from France, seeking out original and authentic pieces of furniture, collectables and gardenalia that makes us a bit different”. There’s also the charm of their setting - The Boule-in fairs are held in a delightful English country garden, courtyard and barn.

“Yes, it’s amusing that the French garden furniture always looks best when set among our English flowers” laughs Cathy, and this summer their entente cordiale is spreading a little further as The Boule-in is hosting it¹s first French Fair in Bridport, Dorset. It seems that everyone wants to enjoy a little of their Ooh la la!

The Boule-in, Bildeston "Fête du Coing" runs from Saturday 10th until Sunday 18th September 2016 between 10am and 5pm daily. www.boule-in.co.uk

Motivating, inspiring and demanding, my weekly training plan quickly became infectious. It isn't easy, but thanks to Kathrine's drive and encouragement it is delivering great results.” Tim, 54 “After doing no exercise for five years being at home with children, I embarked on training with Mopsy. After 6 months my shape has changed, I've lost over a stone and a half and my stamina has gone through the roof - amazing, thank you so much!” Claire, 30s, mother of two “I really look forward to going to the Group Exercise Classes. They are very friendly and welcoming. Mopsy is so motivating and mixes it up every week, making it fun and challenging for all abilities. My fitness has improved very quickly and I feel great afterwards!” Emily, 30's, mother of two Find out more at www.MotivateMePT.co.uk or call me on 07534 991105 to Get Fit, Have Fun and Feel Fab!

Ta Ta Trotters You can now get your trotters on tickets to say goodbye to your favourite pigs after the Pigs Gone Wild trail ends in September. The hugely popular trail has seen thousands of local, national, and even international, visitors coming to Ipswich to follow the trail and collect the original 69 stunning sculptures using the Pigs Gone Wild map and app – plus the new bonus pig Dr Trott/Nurse Honey-Cured. There are still four weeks left to enjoy seeing them on the streets of the town. The Ta Ta Trotters event will be held on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September, from 10am – 4pm, over Heritage weekend at the Corn Exchange, Ipswich, and you must have a ticket to attend.

All 40 large pigs and the 30 junior Tally-ho Trotters pigs will be on show at the event for at Ipswich Town Hall you all to see and have one final selfie with.

Ta Ta Trotters is free to attend but tickets are limited so if you want to say farewell to the likes of Ed Sheer-Ham, Pig n Mix and The Swinions, get your tickets now. Norman Lloyd, Pigs Gone Wild project manager, said: “Ta Ta Trotters is your last chance to see the big pigs before they are auctioned off to raise money for the hospice and before the juniors are returned to the schools and community groups that created them. “We’re expecting around 5,000 people to come along to say goodbye to the pigs over the farewell weekend, but as spaces are limited, please make sure you get a ticket so you don’t miss out on seeing them one final time!”

The event is free to attend but a suggested donation is welcome to raise funds for St Elizabeth Hospice. There will be no entry to the event without a ticket.

Tickets can be reserved at www.pigsgonewild.co.uk/tatatrotters

Hadleigh residents may have noticed pupils from Years 5 and 6 at Whatfield School outside the Co-op last month.

They were taking part in ‘The Fiver challenge’ and had to use five pounds borrowed from Virgin Money to design and organise an enterprise initiative, making enough money to pay back the fiver, and some profit. They learnt a lot about overheads and hidden costs, and eventually each team made a profit which altogether came to more than £100. This was divided between several charities of the children’s choice. The businesses ranged from car washing – which was hard work and wet but very profitable, to designing and making pencil toppers!

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

A great favourite was the use of kangoo boots, which enable children to leap and run around the hall and field at an alarming rate. During the week we held our sports afternoon and procession of athletes, followed by a family barbecue, with Steff and Nonsense providing us with bubbling fun and circus skills.

Our most exciting adventure during sports week was sailing at Alton Water, where Key Stage Two had the chance to sail and raft build! It was considered scary but exciting, and after the success of this sport at the Olympics, maybe some of our children will try to take this up in the future.

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

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

Whilst other dogs go to new homes, Lexi still waits for that special family. She can never have enough cuddles and is good with children, although she has the staffie habit of occasionally knocking the younger ones over. Lexi needs to be the only pet and requires a secure garden to wander in. Mum says we also have many cats and kittens with endearing personalities that happen to be black or black and white. Personally I don’t understand what difference it makes. Surely everyone loves us animals whatever our appearance, especially little dogs that are mostly black like me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua?

Hadleigh Footpath Volunteers A smallish turnout of 7 for the August walk – the Olympic Games may have contributed. Those who did join us had a very pleasant 5.5 mile walk in bright sunshine and a cooling breeze. For our September walk, on Saturday 10th, we will walk to Bower House Tye starting in Hadleigh then to Overbury Hall, Wyncoll’s Lane, Millwood Cottage, Rockalls Hall, Polstead, Sprott’s Farm and Watson’s Corner. The distance is 8 miles. We will leave from St Mary’s School at 0930 and we should be able to catch the 1320 bus back to Hadleigh.

Anyone still feeling energetic can join us on the 3 mile return walk to Hadleigh.

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.

Increase your Energy Efficiency Rating In an uncertain world, Energy on Tap Limited can give you one cast iron guarantee - in the words of orphan Annie “The sun’ll come out tomorrow”. The sun is the world’s power station and at anytime provides 5000 times more energy than we could ever use. Solar power is now a mainstay in the nation’s energy mix. Less certain, but still causing huge concern around the planet is ‘Global Warming’. Whatever your views on this, the planet’s leaders are committed to taking action and that means changes. Clean energy is now a global currency that we are all trading in.

Have you noticed that everything from washing machines to cars to houses now comes with an A to G Energy Performance Rating. ‘A’ being the best. A good EPC rating gives a good indication of the household’s running costs. In a home with a rating of F or G the heating bills are likely to be the biggest drain on the monthly budget. The higher you are on the scale the more attractive your property will be to prospective buyers.

There are a number of measures that you can take to improve your rating, some relatively inexpensive. A 4kWp solar PV system can increase your rating by as much as 12 points, a significant rating improvement.

A group of 12 local people paddled about 9 miles in rain and shine down the River Stour from Wissington to Stratford St Mary. The River Stour Boating company provided the Canadian canoes and a guide. This is the sixth time that this event has taken place. The idea of the challenge was to raise money for a Christian Aid project in El Salvador and Honduras. Christian Aid partners are working with the indigenous people to make pregnancy and birth safer, prevent HIV and improve healthcare and advice. This project is destined to reach over 200,000 women of child-bearing age over the next four years. The money raised will be multiplied by four by the EU. On the way they encountered some very shallow water, about four portages and two fallen trees across the river which had to be hacked through! The view of the countryside is beautiful as one gently paddles along.

There is still time to support this worthwhile project. Go to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/John-Boardman5

Bildeston History Quarterly Issue 20 (Autumn 2016) When I started Bildeston History Quarterly in December 2011, I never thought that it would still be going five years later. This is thanks to a dedicated group of readers and collectors and contributions in the form of photographs and articles made by people who see Bildeston as their home, even if they are now living elsewhere. I came to live in Bildeston in 1969, when I had just qualified as a teacher and, always interested in history, I started researching the village at local archives and record offices. Now that my mobility has declined and I am no longer able to get out and about as I used to, the folders and files of information I have now stand me in good stead for writing pieces for the magazines. This season’s offerings start with the Home Guard, the greatest citizen army of all time.

Thanks to Raymond Clarke of Lavenham and Oswold Simpson of Elmsett, who kindly lent photographs and papers, all the Bildeston members of No.1 Platoon, “A” Company, 10th Battalion Suffolk Home Guard are listed plus some Bildeston personnel at Company Headquarters. If a member of your family served in the Home Guard, please contact me with their story.

Suffolk Gardens Trust are currently making a country-wide survey of walled gardens and were quite surprised when I said there was one in Bildeston.

‘Richard Wilson’s walled garden’ tells the story of its developement in the early 19th century to provide flowers, fruit and vegetables for his home (now Bildeston House and Redwick House). Although the garden did not last for long, the remains of its walls still mark boundaries in present-day Bildeston.

Part 2 of ‘At work in Bildeston’s textile industry’ looks at the lives of clothiers during the 16th and 17th centuries and, when the woolled-cloth trade declined, at the woolcombers who followed on. Two hidden industries at that time are touched upon, linen manufacture and hand knitting.

The occasional series ‘Fields with history’ features Cardinalls, nearly ten hectares of land on the Bildeston-Nedging border, once owned by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, one of King Henry VIII’s chief advisors. The tale is told of how he got his hands on the land and what happened to it after his fall from grace and death in 1530. All the articles are illustrated and sources of information are IVC given. Please do let me know what items of historical interest you would like to see in the magazine. Sue Andrews, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk IP77BG. (01449 740673) Issue 20 is on sale from the beginning of September at Bank House Stores and Brook Farm Studio in Bildeston; Avis the Newsagent and Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street; and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, price £3

Oh it’s so nice to have friends! My kind friend Margaret gave me a Mrs Beeton cookery book, my friend Keith gave me some tasty allotment courgettes and my friend Clare and I spent a lovely afternoon baking. This recipe goes out to friends everywhere, a deliciously simple all in one cake that can be kept frozen for up to a month, though between you and me it is unlikely to last that long!

Courgette Loaf Cake 2 large eggs, 125ml vegetable oil, 85g soft brown sugar 350g courgettes, coarsely grated, 1 tsp vanilla extract 300g plain flour, 2 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda ½ tsp baking powder, 85g walnuts, roughly chopped or 85g pine nuts as alternative, 140g sultanas Method Heat oven to 180ᵒC/160ᵒC fan/gas. Butter and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. Generous greasing of the tin will do the trick though, so don’t worry if you don’t have any baking parchment to hand. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil and sugar, then add the courgettes and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with a pinch of salt. Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then pour into the tin. Bake for 1 hour, or until a skewer or knife inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool, then serve, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Fourth and fifth prizes, each of £25 vouchers to use at local stores (Adnams and one other). A fantastic selection of top name Champagne's and Spirits and fine quality wines, for a further ten prizes.

The 63rd Burstall Show Saturday August 7th was a fantastic day weather wise, and a good very happy crowd came again to support our Village Show. The organisers were sad that John Mower from Hintlesham, who had been a brilliant exhibitor at the Show for many years, was unable to compete this year, and in recognition of his past support for our shows he was invited to present the trophies in the for the Vegetable Classes. One of John Mower’s past keen rivals,Hugh Richards, dominated the Vegetable and Flower Classes, winning the Open Vegetables, Vegetables Grown for Pleasure, Open Flowers and Best Flowers Trophies.

Entries in the Vegetable section were of a very high standard In a difficult year with Rupert Catlin winning the Burstall Vegetables Trophy and John Minns winning the Best Vegetable Exhibit with some excellent Tomatoes. The Flower Arranging Class was won by Ann Burchnall, with Lesley Raby’s ‘Arrangement in an ‘Unusual Container’ winning the Best Flower Exhibit., There were very strong entries in the Preserves, Cookery and Handicrafts sections, and these were much praised by the Judges. Jane Sago from Bramford, a long time member of Burstall WI and currently the President of the East Suffolk Womens Institute, was the worthy winner of the Open Cookery Cup and the Homemade Preserve Class, with Ann Day winning the Burstall Cookery Cup. Sue Frankis won the Open Handicrafts Class. The Men Only Entries Class was won by Richard Sago.

There were good entries in all the Children’s Classes, and the enthusiasm of those competing augurs well for the future. Sophie Woolf, Paige Debman and Chloe Macmillan won the trophies for their respective age groups. The best exhibit in these classes was won by Hugo Young for his Decorated Egg., and the Children’s Potato Challenge was won by Ben Debman.

Musical entertainment was provided by the Frog Island Jazz Band in the Village Hall grounds. Several Classic Cars, Motor Cycles Tractors and other Vehicles were on show and brought back happy memories to many. The displays given by the Ipswich Veterinary Centre Dog Agility Club demonstrated the considerable skills of dogs and their owners to great effect.

Such a happy day does not happen by accident. Much hard work was expended by many people to achieve yet another great success. Thanks go to all who kindly and cheerfully helped and contributed. Special thanks to the sponsors, to the stewards, judges and exhibitors of the Flower Show, to donors of Grand Draw Prizes, bottles for the tombola and other items for sale on the stalls. Thanks also to those who prepared the showground, organised, erected and helped with side shows, and last but not least to those who contributed food and served refreshments throughout the day, and to those who washed up and cleared up at the end. The standard of food continues to be excellent and, as always, is a marvellous credit to the limited resources of the small parish of Burstall. Those who worked so hard to provide and serve lunches, teas, BBQ food, ice creams, cakes and drinks throughout the day really do deserve special praise.

Trophies were presented by the President of the Show, (assisted by John Mower for the Vegetable Classes), to the very worthy prize winners. The Show concluded with an auction of surplus produce (kindly donated by exhibitors).

Just over 100 years ago, the Cranfield Family gave to Burstall our wonderful Village Hall. Our small village has the continuing responsibility for maintaining this fantastic asset for the benefit of all our residents both now and in the future.

Interior improvements have all been recently carried out. Now, with the tremendous support we have had from our 63rd Show, we hope we are well on the way to raising sufficient resources to fund it’s exterior redecoration. We are very grateful to the support given to this annual community event, and believe that all who visited and contributed to the Show had a very happy day out.

Charlie Haylock presents

AN ECCENTRIC LOOK AT SPOKEN ENGLISH Saturday 17th September at 7.30pm St Mary’s Church, Kersey In aid of St Mary’s Church Funds £10 (includes a glass of wine and refreshments) Further info: Linda 07905 731431 or lindanewbigging@btinternet.com

Kersey Mill Newsletter It is anticipated within the next six weeks to complete Phase 2 of the restoration program. The remaining valley and flooring repairs is just what’s remaining to be completed..

Once this is completed this should result in the mill being removed from the ‘at risk register’.

Our recent fundraising summer ball was a huge success. 130 guests enjoyed a beautiful summers evening Picture shows repair works with a delicious meal, great music to Valley and above all a thrilling auction raising funds towards Phase 2 of the restoration. It was lovely to see so many people from the local community supporting the event. You looked so glamorous and smart. We are truly thankful to all those involved who helped.

Very Special thanks to The Venue, Switch Recruitment, JLS Catering, Toppesfield, Jack Cardy, Phil Westley, Georgette Fawley and to all those who so generously gave donations. The third phase of restoration will commence in early 2017, more on this in due-course. We have seen many visitors to the mill recently that included a special meeting and tour of the mill conducted by Bill Griffiths (Millwright) for S.P.A.B. who were invited to visit Kersey Mill by local architect Matthew Kennington. Matthew first came to visit us whilst working for Historic England; it is very clear when speaking with Matthew that he is very passionate about heritage buildings and appreciates the traditional building techniques that have been used within the restoration.

Bev and Derek Bowry have been to visit the work place of their ancestor Benjamin Mason. Bev is the 1st cousin 3 times removed of Benjamin Mason who was the miller in Kersey in the mid 1800s. Bev says “We've only recently been looking closely into this side of my family, I have always been aware that some were millers. Ben's brother Philip was the miller at Ben Mason at Kersey Mill circa 1900 Dedham. Ben and Philip were the nephews of Philip Bacon Mason my 2 x great granddad and my grandfather Frederick Mason had a brother called Philip who was also a miller”. Bev continues” My husband and I were actually in Kersey on Monday visiting the churchyard with my brother and his wife who were over from Paris.

We were specifically looking at the graves of Benjamin Mason the miller and other ancestors buried there. My husband and I have done a lot of genealogy concerning one part of my maternal grandfather's family and the connections we have discovered between the Masons, and other folk buried near to them in the churchyard, has proven rather surprising and somewhat 'freaky' to us to say the least Bev and Derek plan to return with other family members during Heritage week September 8th -11th when the mill along with thousands of other building will be open, all the volunteers across the country invite you to experience local history, architecture and culture. All for free. What will you discover?

Hadleigh Orchestra Conductor: Ute Cooper Leader: Lisa Middleton Thank you to the many people who supported our concert in June at Stokeby-Nayland. Your generous offering as you left enabled us to make a substantial gift to the Church and go a long way towards covering our costs.

Rehearsals in preparation for our Christmas concert in December will begin on Monday Sept. 19th. at Beaumont Community school, Hadleigh, 7.30 – 9.30 p.m. We play a variety of music mainly but not only of the popular classical type. This is a good time to join the Orchestra, because we start with fresh music and a new beginning. We have vacancies in all string sections (violinists especially welcome, and another viola), and in the wind section would welcome another horn, bassoon, trumpet and trombone. If you would like to join or know more, please give me a ring on 01473 827242, or Jose on 01473 741055.

The Nebula is conveniently placed between the two bottom stars of Lyra called Sholiak and Suiafat, which themselves are very prominent with the naked-eye.

Once located, the ring looks like a grey ring, small bright but hazy compared with the sharp pinpoint stars that surround it. A 3" scope (76 mm) will pick it up well, but anything with a P. J. B. WILSON BDS, LDS, RCS larger aperture will show G. SINGH BDS (HONS) it far better. & ASSOCIATES What we are seeing:This Nebula is a cloud of cold gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, and is very tenuous, • family practice • in house hygienist having less than a quadrillion of the density of air on Earth. This gas is expanding away in all • cosmetic dentistry • emergency service & saturday morning appointments • evening Flower Shop KM Sept16 Q7:Layout 1 22/8/16 12:23 Page 1 directions from a small hot central star, too faint to be seen with a telescope of under 12" aperture, this stars light illuminates the gas causing it to glow. It lies at a distance from Earth of 2,300 light years and has a magnitude of 8.8, which is below naked-eye limit (magnitude 6.5) but within the limit of 10x50 binoculars. Photographs taken and studied over the last half century show that the Nebula is expanding outward at a rate that equates to a mean speed of 25 km/s, or 55,923 mph. The colour image you see in the picture here shows a blue-green tinge that is caused by the doubly ionised oxygen emission lives at 495.7 and 500.7 nm. These bands occur in conditions of very low density with only a few atoms per cubic centimetre. The outer reddish hue is caused by hydrogen emission at 656.3 nm. The star that illuminates the gas was discovered by Hungarian astronomer Jeno Gothard on September 1st 1886.

It is a white dwarf star which is primarily composed of carbon and oxygen and a mass of 0.61 that of our Sun and a surface temperature of 125,000 deg Kelvin or 124,726 deg Celsius it is 200 times more brighter than our sun, but is dim because of the size of it and vast distance. The central star is technically blue, but now it has blown away its outer atmosphere, it is destined to become a white dwarf. The star blew off its outer layers some 20,000 years ago and the ring in actual size is some 0.4 light years in diameter, or 32,000 astronomical units or 2,976,000,000,000 miles, a truly vast area.

This is a great comparison to our Sun. In some 4.5 billion years time, our very own star will do exactly as this star did 20,000 years ago. Our Earth and every single object within the Solar System will become much like the gas ring in the picture above. In truth we are destined to be turned to minute particles, dispersed into deep space. And on that bombshell, I wish you all luck in observing this sky gem. Till next month, clear skies.

New Charity Supporting The Bereaved After a short period of putting up his feet former co founder of the Iceni Project in Ipswich, Patrick Palmer, is turning his attention, with his wife, to creating a new, not for profit, charity. The organisation is to be known as Suffolk Bereavement Support and will be offering a service to the recently bereaved and those coping with a delayed reaction to loss. The ethos of the charity is based on the therapeutic benefits of working in groups as an alternative to one to one counselling. The groups will be run by experienced group leaders and will help people safely share their experiences of loss. Together with peer support this is designed to help group members understand the many phases of loss and its impact.

Starting late autumn groups will be held in the Hadleigh area but anyone within travelling distance can express an interest. Support will be designed to contribute to the positive mental health of participants and minimize the need for interventions from GPs and other social and health professionals.

The trustees are actively involved in raising funds but ideas from readers on how they might support the charity are also welcomed.The organisation is to be run by experienced professionals who will be giving their time on a voluntary basis.

If anyone would like further information about this free service, please contact Patrick or Margaret on sbsg246@gmail.com; telephone 01206 299832

Hadleigh & District Garden Club The July "Garden Safari" had been a great success despite the inclement weather and all the members involved with its' organisation were thanked.

At the August meeting we welcomed Phil Taylor from Brett Valley Landscaping and Design. He gave a wide ranging talk on "Trees for your Garden".

As some of Phil's work is on country estates, he gave details of some of the large trees used such as a mature Blue Cedar at £4,200 (plus planting costs). The Cedar of Lebanon (£12,000 + ) and the Tulip Tree (£6,000+). Where space permits Phil always advises to plant a variety of trees in case a disease strikes. In some large parks the trees suffer from compaction of the roots and Phil has to aerate the soil with his specialist equipment.

For the smaller gardens that most of us own Phil recommended Magnolia denudata ‘yellow river’, this produces large fragrant yellow flowers in April/May; another recommended tree was Malus evereste which has wonderful spring blossom and Autumn fruits which stay on the tree until after Christmas. All the members were given a book which had photographs and full details of all the trees Phil had mentioned in his talk.

Our next meeting in the Town Hall is on Monday 12th September at 7.30pm when Matthew of Riverside Bulbs will be advising on the best bulbs to plant.

The monthly competition is "The largest Sunflower". Visitors always welcome.

Polstead Community Shop 2017 Calendar

‘Polstead Past’ We are delighted to announce that Polstead Community Shop has produced its own calendar for 2017, with a fascinating collection of old photographs of Polstead and district in times past, depicting both people and places.

We are able to offer it to you at the low cost of £5.50 per calendar. It will be on sale from the last week in August and so available for you to catch the early deadlines for Christmas posting.

We are extremely grateful to all those local residents who have allowed us to reproduce photographs from their collections. Many thanks to Richard English, Roy Richardson, Alan Riddleston, Marion Richford and to Bill Wigglesworth for his help with the research.

Laughter Yoga comes to Hadleigh Laughing is good for us but do we laugh enough? Laughter Yoga was introduced in 1995 by a medical doctor and there are now over 10,000 Laughter Clubs in 100 countries. These clubs involve a group of people getting together and doing a series of laughter exercises to generate playful laughter and deepen breathing. The session lasts for an hour and ends with a relaxation. No ‘bendy’ poses are involved as the Yoga part is about the breath.

The benefits include lifting mood through the release of the ‘happy’ chemicals, increasing oxygen flow and connecting with others. It has particular benefits for people who may be socially isolated or who need support to maintain good mental health.

A Laughter Club is starting at 1.30pm on Tuesdays from the middle of September at Ananda House, Magdalen Road, Hadleigh. To find out more call Sharon on 01728 831787 (there is an answer phone so leave a message and she will call you back) or email sharlee@lineone.net.

BINGO IS BACK! Cash prizes plus Jackpot Wednesday 5th October 2016 Doors Open at 7.00 pm Eyes Down 7.30 pm

Down to Earth ...with Dave Not much to do on the allotment this month. Mainly harvesting the various crops that seem to come all at once this time of year. My runner beans were a bit slow to start cropping and we were started off by being given some by a fellow plot holder. Now they are growing quicker than we can eat them. Some will no doubt end up in the freezer, but they don’t taste as good once they have been frozen. I have sown some late turnip, swede and khol rabi, with luck we should get some baby roots before the winter. The sweet corn is doing very well behind its badger proof fence. You can’t beat a freshly picked corn on the cob. With more courgettes growing every day, some have been made into lovely courgette, potato and onion soup, all home grown. This freezes very well and will no doubt be welcome this winter. Some of the potatoes have been dug up, with no sign of the dreaded blight. They are quite safe left in the ground for a little while so long as it stays fairly dry. It has been a bit dry lately with some watering needed to the runner beans, courgettes and the new seeds.

Water is precious thing and should be used carefully. Collect rainwater in butts, water the soil not the leaves, give priority to any new plants and plant them in the ground as soon as possible. Mulch wherever you can, mushroom compost is very good for this. Try to mulch on wet ground to help hold in the moisture.

Keep any hanging baskets well watered, as once they dry out it can be very difficult to re-wet them. The only way may be to take the basket sown and soak it in a bucket of water for a couple of hours. When you cut your grass raise the height of the cut a little, it will still go brown with the sun, but as soon as we get rain it will green up.

We made a visit to the R.H.S. garden at Hyde Hall Rettendon for the summer flower show, which seemed bigger and better this year, with more and better stalls, entertainment from a lovely harpist, a male close harmony singing group and driftwood sculptures from New Zealand, stalls packed with super plants and plenty of room to picnic by the lake.

Whilst there I enquired about the giant pumpkin that is being grown in the vegetable garden there by one of the gardeners - Matthew Oliver. This is a real labour of love involving homemade liquid worm compost, dried blood, Epsom salts, hand pollination, early mornings and late nights. As covered in protective fleece it was not possible to see the actual size of any fruit but apparently it is growing well and Matthew is hopeful of a good result by October.

That’s all for this time, Dave

Lewis Woodhead regains Jonathan Lambert Salver Last gasp winner Lewis Woodhead snatched the coveted Jonathan Lambert Centenary Silver Salver at Newton Green for the second time in three seasons. It looked as if 86-year-old golfer Neil Jacobs (handicap 27) would become the oldest winner of the trophy with his total of 41 Stableford points. But playing in the last three-ball - three hours later than Jacobs in an entry of 120, Woodhead (7) got over the line with a score of 42. When he won the trophy for the first time, he was a junior, and he is the only player in ten years to have his name on the salver twice.

Jacobs took the best male prize as he competed against some hot competition from the club’s junior players, with Harvey Watts also on 41 to become the best junior, and Adrienne Hughes was the best woman on 36. Watts had eased out 39-point Alice Barlow from the junior winner spot, but the field could not keep down the club’s outstanding female player of the season as she shot a gross 70 (one over par), which saw her reduce her own course record by a shot. She would have brought it down further had she not recorded a two over par five on the par three 18th. Barlow’s rival male course record holder Jed Seeley was also in fine form, with a three under par 65 giving him the Carole List award for the best gross score of the day.

Jonathan Lambert presented awards at the Saturday night party of golf week, which again saw members competing in record numbers across 10 events in six days of golf aimed at showing off the inclusive nature of golf at its best.

Prize winners: Jonathan Lambert Centenary Silver Salver: 42 points Lewis Woodhead, best male 41 Neil Jacobs, best woman 36 Adrienne Hughes, best junior 41 Harvey Watts. Carole List trophy for best gross score: 65 Jed Seeley.

Delaney Scramble: 60.5 Gareth Evans, Sue Thurgate, Carolyn Cocksedge, Kevin Butler; 62.4 Steve Wordley, Linda Spurko, Adrienne Hughes, John Barry; 62.4 Tibby Mimpriss, Odette Ford, Nigel Gerrans, Paul Hughes. Stableford: 91 ocb Ben Tawell, Sue Lockwood, Mark Barlow, Roger Hermiston; 91 Alan Vince, Angela Chapman, Roger O’Brien-Hill, Alex Iveson; 89 George Bullett, Rebecca Evans, Lee Prentice, Alice Barlow. Best Whag, 40 Ben Tawell; woman, 36 Lynne Hart; male, 42 David Carse; junior 41 Alice Barlow.

Kiskadee Trophy: 26 Sue Thurgate and Kevin Knights, 22 Angela Chapman and Dave Carse, 21 (ocb) Mick Mills and Lynne Hart. Points means prizes: 29 Jed Seeley, 26 Alex Iveson, 24 Paul Maclachlan. Three Clubs/Putter: Peter Cade, Alex Iveson and Rosemary Thomson. Points means prizes: Foxes and Rabbits: 39 Ollie and Tom Page, 41 Mark and Jenny Barlow, 42 Max Hemson and Georgina Thornton, 42 James and Alex Cooper, 43 Martin and Alison Brightwell. Putting: 17 Ian Page, 18 Ben Clarke. Par Three: 25 Mark Barlow, 23 Ollie Page, 21 Steve Knappett.

Shirley Spraggons Harry, Pat and family would like to thank everyone for the cards and messages received and to all those who attended Shirley’s service at Layham Church.

Also to the paramedics who attended Shirley at home. To all at Hadleigh Health Centre, Sheila Webb for taking the service and R. Gwinnell for all their help at this difficult time. Donations received amounted to £349.50 to The British Heart Foundation.

Thanks to HADAS for 10 Years of Support We would like to thank HADAS for again organising the Brendan Oakes Memorial fishing match in support of the Brendan Oakes Trust.

This year's event was held on Sunday 7th August at Bullocky Fenn and was contested by 26 anglers. The weather as usual was fantastic although a little windy, which helped to keep the temperature down. The Brendan Oakes Memorial Fishing Match winner this year was Mr 2016 winner Kevin Sparkes, with 2nd place Kevin Sparkes who John McAndrew, 3rd place Steve Atkinson receives the Brendan Kevin Wilding and Mark Snowling Oakes Memorial Trophy.

John McAndrew and Steve Atkinson were placed 2nd and 3rd respectively on the day. A really big thank you goes to our sponsors for their support; Snowy's Bait and Tackle, Wentworth Eggs, Gadget Promotions and Allfix who between them supplied food for the BBQ, prize monies, raffle/auction items and the winners prizes.

Thanks also goes to those anglers who brought along raffle prizes on the day.

Two people are worthy of special mention and without whom this event would never have come into being and without their continued support would not have reached it's tenth year. Mark Snowling had the original idea to organise the match and through his business, Surefix Doors and Windows, has continued to support the event with prize money and food costs each and every year that it has run.

Kevin Wilding is the Chairman of HADAS and has supported the event as one of the clubs annual matches allowing it to be held on HADAS water as well as rallying club members to come along each year. We never thought that we would still be running this annual event after ten years and without the support of HADAS members and local anglers we could not continue to raise funds for Brendan's Trust. Over the ten years the match has raised over £11,000 which as charity events goes doesn't sound like a lot of money, when compared to larger national charities and events, but it means the world to us as each and every penny goes to helping teenagers and their families cope with their diagnosis of cancer.

As a small local charity we rely upon support such as this and when we can put this into the diary year after year it guarantees our continued survival.

HADAS members should be really proud of what they have achieved over the past ten years and we really enjoy your company on the banks of the lake serving tea, coffee and biscuits before getting ready for the after match BBQ, raffle and auction. Thank you all for your continuing support of Brendan's Trust.

Stoke by Nayland Ladies Club Championship This year’s Club Championship was played on Saturday 23rd July. The Ladies have always maintained the tradition of the 36 hole medal examination to find their Club Champion so it was sixteen very brave competitors who set off at 8.30 am playing the Gainsborough course in the morning and the Constable course in the afternoon. The conditions were hot and sultry all day with barely a breeze but they all maintained a steady pace and took plenty of water so there were no casualties along the way!

The very worthy winner was Tracey Dickens with gross scores of 81 in the morning and 91 in the afternoon, making a total of 172.

The first nine of her morning round consisted of seven pars and two birdies. The runner-up Lady Captain Betty Cox was Pamela Randle, a past Champion who and Tracey Dickens returned to the competition after an absence of three years and came very close with rounds of 87 and 91, totalling 178.

She was followed by Margaret Bentley only two shots back with two rounds of 90. The Bronze Division Shield went to first time winner, Elaine Davidson who had two great rounds of 102 and 107, total 209 narrowly beating Roz Clements by one shot – 101, 109, making 210.

Handicap Prizes are also awarded and this year Jo Little took the honours with nett scores of 73 & 78, making 151, just beating Lesley Hitchcock who scored 76 & 78, totalling 154.

Tea and the presentations took place immediately after play and a proud and relieved group of Ladies left for home promising to put themselves through the whole thing again next year! We Salute Them All.

English Girls Open Amateur Championships at The Nottinghamshire Golf Club Alice Barlow travelled to the Nottinghamshire golf club to compete in the English Girls Open Amateur championships and dug deep to hit her start of year goal of a top ten finish.

With a strong field of Home Internationals she competed throughout the three days having a share of the lead after round 1. The tough Championship course at The Nottinghamshire comprises of a lot of trouble around every corner.

Alice shot a -2 first round 71 the best round of her career so far to share the lead with Scotlands Alison Muirhead which included 3 birdies and a solitary bogey. The second round was a solid +3 round of 76. She made the cut for day three tied for 2nd place at +1. Going out in the penultimate group meant a well deserved lay in on the Thursday. Some rain and wind made conditions a little tricky but a chip in for a birdie on the first was a great start. A few errant tee shots lead to a few too many bogeys including a tee shot into the water at 16.

Finishing +5 and +6 overall. The final round was kicked into life with a 20 foot birdie putt on 5 and a chip in from 30 yards on 7 for an Eagle to put her on -2 for the round. A bogey at 8 and a disappointing double bogey at 17 meant a birdie was required on 18 to get into the prize money, but the 10 foot putt lipped the hole for birdie. Never the less Alice said this was a great experience to be competing with these players and plans on doing more of it in the future. A great Tied 8th final position out of a field of 113.
