It’s March, and Spring is in the air (although it will probably snow soon now I’ve put that in writing!).

They deliver seasonal veg boxes either weekly or fortnightly with organic, seasonal, Suffolk grown vegetables straight from their farm in Cavendish, find out more about them on page 9.

With Easter on the horizon, we’ve included a recipe for some delicious hot cross buns, so why not get everyone involved in making your own this year?

Both the Moreton Hall and the Southgate Community Centre have lots coming up, especially over the Easter weekend. It’s a great way to get involved with your local community and have some fun in the process.

Bury in Bloom Certificates of Merit Front Garden Judging 2023

Bury in Bloom is the only UK group to organise a front garden award scheme on this scale. Britain in Bloom judges asked if residents have to enter – answer is NO as every garden or front of property within the borough boundary will be judged by the ever increasing team of judges.

Next question – how many gardens does that involve?

From 2023 including Marham Park and Lark Grange on Moreton Hall, 20,000 gardens will be judged.

RHS in 2021/22 revised guidelines to encourage more wildlife friendly gardens. This has been reflected in the scoring system. Judges will look at your garden from the pavement or end of your drive so it is important all elements of your garden are clearly visible from the pavement. Judges are looking to award certificates to enthusiastic gardeners who have obviously put huge effort into their garden. Gardeners are encouraged to use wildlife friendly plants and minimise use of plastic.

We are always looking to expand our team of judges. No problem reaching your 10,000 steps on judging days. If you would like more information or are interested in becoming a judge then please email Lynne certificates@buryinbloom.org.uk

POSTCARD CLUB BURY ST EDMUNDS

From the late 1800s to 1930, the Great Eastern Railway (later to become the London North Eastern Railway) operated three paddle steamers, named Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. These paddle steamers provided a service on the River Orwell from Ipswich to Felixstowe and Harwich. The latter destinations connected with vessels travelling along the East Coast to Yarmouth to the north, and the Thames estuary to the south.

Ipswich Corporation operated a dedicated tram service to the quayside to connect with departure times. The first postcard is a publicity card issued by the railway, and the second is a view along the River Orwell at Ipswich depicting the three paddle steamers.

These postcards were supplied by our Treasurer, Colin Barker, whose main interest is public transport.

Moreton Hall WI

Our February meeting was well attended, and it was lovely to see so many members. We welcomed Tony Whittingham from EcoFrenzy.Com as our speaker. After a brief introduction to the causes of climate change, Tony went on show us how to save money and the environment by making small changes in daily life to minimise waste, pollution and carbon dioxide output. Tony produced lots of data to prove that making small changes, such as turning the heating down one degree, can result in substantial

savings to your fuel bill. Whilst the issue of climate change can seem insurmountable, he went on to encourage us all to ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’. The effects of climate change are being felt by us all, but the solutions are there and together we can create real and meaningful change. Whether its swapping glass bottles for plastic milk bottles, shopping locally, reducing food miles and unnecessary packaging, growing your own salad leaves, or choosing to buy fewer clothes we can all start

small, take action and together make an impact, which is what the WI is all about! In February, as part of the Show The Love Campaign, people from all walks of life will use the power of green hearts to show decision makers that we want to see urgent action to tackle climate change, protect nature and bring down bills. We finished our evening with a quick crafting session making green hearts which are on display at the Moreton Hall Community Centre where we meet. We hope they will encourage everyone to think about how small changes to our lifestyle will benefit not only ourselves but future generations.

We are a friendly group and prospective members are always welcome.

success story:

The main reason for joining Eventus was to lose some weight and improve my fitness. I was working too much and not looking after myself. I signed up for the initial challenge and after a couple of weeks, it became clear to me that I really liked the set up.

The sessions are pre-planned so you don’t need to think what you’re going to do, the coaches have taken care of that.

I’m now a similar size to what I was 20 years ago. I have more energy and my overall strength has improved.

The topic of ‘Status’

Part of the mental health and wellbeing advice series

How do you look after your mental health and wellbeing?

That’s the basis for a new campaign for 2023 which focuses on 12 ‘emotional needs’, one for each month, to bring you practical tips, people’s stories, and support to keep you well.

Be Well, Feel Well: A healthier Suffolk in 2023 is a partnership between Suffolk Mind, Public Health and Communities and a range of community groups teaming up to focus on ways for you to be well throughout the year. Look out for a new article every month with information for how you can keep healthy, get the help you need and even save money.

Suffolk Says Thanks

Why not take a moment to share your thank you messages with others to meet their need for status and show your appreciation?

The Suffolk Says Thanks campaign features handy templates to share your thank you messages with others. Visit www.suffolksaysthanks.com to find out how and use #suffolksaysthanks to join the conversation on social media.

Top tips to boost status

l Giving people positive feedback for what they have done and telling them why it made a difference is important.

l Feedback must be relevant and describe specifically what they did.

l Acknowledging everybody’s contribution makes a difference. Make it a habit to recognise everybody’s efforts, whoever they are.

Making a difference to lives by saying “Thanks”

It feels great when we are valued by the people around us, but meeting the need to feel respected is about more than lifting our mood. When people show us genuine respect, it tells us something important about ourselves and how we fit into the world around us. How do we know that we are really respected?

It’s important that we acknowledge the things people do for us to let them know that we really value them and that they are not taken for granted. Here are some example thank you messages where people who have gone the extra mile have received a Suffolk Says Thanks badge in appreciation of their efforts.

Where can I find out more?

Cherry Beesley, local photographer (1): Cherry, of Simply C Photography was presented with a SST badge for her continued support of the Suffolk community.

Freddie Alcock (2): Freddie was presented with a STT badge for his fantastic fundraising efforts in support of Home-Start in Suffolk and to the local community. The team at Home-Start in Suffolk felt that Freddie's unwavering support of the community should be recognised and so we recently delivered one of the Suffolk Says Thank You rainbow pin badges to him with a letter from our team.

Gemma Bennett (3): Gemma, Social Secretary of the amazing Black Shuck MCC, was presented with a SST badge for hers and the clubs fantastic support of Home-Start in Suffolk families. For some years, the club has hosted fundraising events, rallies and rides.

PLASTIC MODELLERS IN WEST SUFFOLK

IPMS West Suffolk is an affiliated club with the International Plastic Modeller’s Society We’re a small friendly modelling club with a membership of 30+ who attend our regular monthly meetings held at the Southgate Community Centre. We’re always open to new members or people with just an interest in modelling, in all its forms; Our interests are diverse; from traditional modelling subjects such as Aircraft and Armoured Fighting Vehicle, through Sci Fi, Vehicles, Trains, Wargaming and much more.

The aim of the Club is to bring likeminded people together to talk about our hobby, share experiences, showcase what we build, and offer friendship

to those with similar interests. Through the IPMS connection the Club also attends regional modelling events and shows, members attending represent the club and often submit entries into the competitions that may be staged at such. Despite being a small club we pride ourselves in the high skill set represented in our membership, from amateur hobbyists through to those that regularly contribute to the hobby magazines. It’s also encouraging that we have a growing younger membership which bodes well for the future of the hobby. However we all have the same motivation - to enjoy what we do and not to take ourselves too seriously.

We’re also lucky to be supported by our local model shop, Model Junction in Whiting Street. They promote and support our Group Builds and Open Day event and are always there to share experience and knowledge, and their staff are regular contributors at our monthly meetings.

The club meets every second Wednesday of the month. Bring along something you’ve recently built to show us what you like and what you do - we look forward to meeting with you.

LITTER PICK

The resident’s association will be holding a spring litter pick on March 25th starting at 10am, meeting outside the youth club. I will have all the equipment ready, look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. I have had three people contact me so far wishing to help out, if you are free please come and join us.

Flying fortress

An update on the refurbishment, I understand that the decision has been made to wait until all the development is complete before doing any work on it, hopefully it won’t be too long.

Residents association

We meet bi-monthly in the Moreton Hall Community Centre at 7.30pm, we are looking for new members and your input would be very welcome; it is also a chance for you to meet and speak to your local councillors.

The next meeting is on Thursday 20th April

ALL CHANGE

It seems like all change for Moreton Hall this year, Tesco is having a new interior and is reopening in the middle of March, we’re looking forward to seeing changes.

And we have a new landlord at Ember Inn. Lewis and partner Paige and little April. Welcome to them and we hope they settle in well.

ELECTION MONTH

Of course, we must not forget May is Election month. All those budding councillors and would be councillors should contact the election committee at West Suffolk Council to ensure your documents are in order and on time.

THE ESTATE

Things have been reasonably quiet on the estate with the exception of some people chucking Tesco shopping trolleys into the pond. There has also been reports of somebody going around trying doors during the evenings, they were seen with a bunch of keys by someone’s personal doorbell camera. Be vigilant, ensure you lock your doors even if are in. Better safe than sorry.

There are a lot of scams going about, I fell for one but luckily, I got my money back thanks to the action of the staff at NatWest.

How Does Cryotherapy Work?

Many common skin imperfections are no longer being treated by the NHS. The Cryopen system offers a quick and effective treatment which emits a fine jet of super cold gas under high pressure. This system is one of the few which allows treatments to be carried with millimetre precision.

The device destroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical. The treatment is tolerated well by most clients and there are very few side effects.

Warts are common skin growths and are seen as much on men as they are on women and children. There are many different types of warts which appear on different parts of the body but typically on face and hands. Warts are not cancerous and do not turn into cancer, they are caused by

the human papillomavirus virus (HPV), they are contagious and should be treated with caution when they are discovered to avoid spread.

The photo on the right shows a 2-3 Wart ‘cluster’ which would have spread further had the client not sought treatment. This was an excellent result for this client who had initially attempted assistance from the NHS. The warts needed to be slightly filed before the treatment to remove the coarse covering and allow the freeze to penetrate. These warts were treated robustly and after careful monitoring and several freeze treatments they were successfully removed. See below for how to book.

CRYOClinicBSE

NHS no longer routinely treat these skin imperfections. See our website for further details where you can book online.

Peace of mind at a time of grief

What’s been happening at… HARDWICK Primary School

Well Spring is in the air and pupils at Hardwick had a spring in their step last month as they enjoyed taking part in sporting tournaments with other schools from around Bury.

As always the Football Club, led by dedicated volunteer parent coaches, were competing every Saturday morning with teams across all year groups - pictured are the Year 2 squad whose progress has been amazing scoring ten goals in just two matches! We then had Year 3 and 4 children enjoying a Dodgeball Competition at South Lee School, Year 6 pupils taking part in a tchoukball tournament and also, after just a few days coaching and practice, an inter-school table tournament at King Edward School. Our Hardwick

representatives were fantastic, showing great charisma and positivity, teamwork, playing brilliantly, supporting each other as great teammates, and showing awesome sportsmanship to other competitors throughout.

Special thanks to the staff who accompanied the children, Mrs Rayson, Mrs Goodenough and especially the hugely enthusiastic and supportive Mr Rampley who organised entry to the events.

Latest news from

So what is Lipoedema?

The West Suffolk Lymphoedema Service also treats patients with Lipoedema. It’s a chronic and progressive disorder that can occur at any age and affects the adipose tissue, over 300 million women worldwide have this painful condition. Because of increased fat under the skin, legs can appear pale and feel cold when compared with the rest of the body. Skin feels fatty or doughy and is often tender and bruises easily. Feet and hands are not affected, although the arms can be occasionally.

Lipoedema is often very painful – women with the condition often complain of

aching in the affected limbs and pain in the knees. Some features of Lipoedema are:

• Weight is gained disproportionately on hips and thighs and below knee, this usually affects both sides and is symmetrical

• Legs are sensitive to touch with deep throbbing pain in legs and pain in knee joints

• Legs feel heavy and swell throughout the day (especially after long periods of standing or sitting) but resolve overnight.

• Fat on legs looks dimpled like “orange peel“ and legs may feel cold to the touch. Lipoedema ‘fat’ does NOT respond to dieting and it is dispiriting for those with Lipoedema to be advised it is ‘just a weight issue’.

If you think you may be suffering from Lipoedema then visit your GP to ask for a referral to the West Suffolk Lymphoedema Service.

Further information can be found at: www.lipoedema.co.uk and www.talklipoedema.org

The 5th of July see’s the birthday of the NHS and in 2023 they will be celebrating their 75th birthday That’s 75 years of caring for us all. We have

realised, over the past few years, just how important this service is and how lucky we are to have people dedicated to caring for us from the minute we step through the doors.

Here at My WiSH Charity, we want to share the birthday love with two events to wish our National Health Service many happy returns.

Love dressing up? Then this event is for you!

We are asking you to dress head to toe in your favourite colour or dress as your favourite NHS hero.

Why not pour a cup of love this July with family, colleagues, and friends? Who doesn’t love a cuppa and a slice of cake so bake some buns, pour a brew, and enjoy a natter while raising money to help us enhance the care of patients and support staff across the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust?

Wish you could wear that party dress you love more often? Well now you can, wear it to the office! Love a bit of fancy dress? Now’s your chance to be brave and wear it on a shopping trip! Or wear some wacky socks or tights to school to brighten up your classroom. All we ask is you donate a minimum of £1 to your local NHS charity to help us continue to take care of you all alongside our amazing hospital.

Huge thanks to Josh Wright who raised over £3000 by taking on not one, but twelve months worth of challenges in 2022. This was everything from running and cycling to leg waxing and climbing mountains.

The result is that we have been able to buy a Accuvein

for the community children’s nursing team.

This near-infrared device helps clinicians see superficial veins making blood taking and cannulation easier and will be especially useful to the team as they care for their young patients with complex care needs.

Hot cross buns

Ingredients:

For the buns

300ml full-fat milk, plus 2 tbsp more

50g butter

500g strong bread flour

1 tsp salt

75g caster sugar

1 tbsp sunflower oil

7g sachet fast-action or easy-blend yeast

1 egg, beaten

75g sultanas

50g mixed peel

zest 1 orange

1 apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped

1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the cross

75g plain flour, plus extra for dusting

For the glaze

3 tbsp apricot jam

Method

Bring 300ml full-fat milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add 50g butter. Leave to cool until it reaches hand temperature. Put 500g strong bread flour, 1 tsp salt, 75g caster sugar and 7g sachet fast-action or easy-blend yeast into a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and butter mixture, then add 1 beaten egg. Using a wooden spoon, mix well, then bring everything together with your hands until you have a sticky dough.

Tip on to a lightly floured surface and knead by holding the dough with one hand and stretching it with the heal of the other hand, then folding it back on itself. Repeat for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hr or until doubled in size and a finger pressed into it leaves a dent.

With the dough still in the bowl, tip in 75g sultanas, 50g mixed peel, zest of 1 orange, 1 finely chopped apple and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Knead into the dough, making sure everything is well distributed. Leave to rise for 1 hr more, or until doubled in size,

again covered by some well-oiled cling film to stop the dough getting a crust.

Divide the dough into 15 even pieces (about 75g per piece). Roll each piece into a smooth ball on a lightly floured work surface. Arrange the buns on one or two baking trays lined with parchment, leaving enough space for the dough to expand. Cover (but don’t wrap) with more oiled cling film, or a clean tea towel, then set aside to prove for 1 hr more.

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix 75g plain flour with about 5 tbsp water to make the paste for the cross – add the water 1 tbsp at a time, so you add just enough for a thick paste. Spoon into a piping bag with a small nozzle. Pipe a line along each row of buns, then repeat in the other direction to create crosses. Bake for 20 mins on the middle shelf of the oven, until golden brown.

Gently heat 3 tbsp apricot jam to melt, then sieve to get rid of any chunks. While the jam is still warm, brush over the top of the warm buns and leave to cool.

A Story of Success

CASE STUDY James’ Story

When James first referred himself to The Green Light Trust his anxiety was at such an extreme that the only way he could communicate with us was via text message or email. James used everything he had to work through this and turn up for his first session at Green Light Trust. Despite this crippling anxiety & depression James allowed himself to be supported by staff and other group members to return to the group each week and slowly became comfortable amongst other people again.

James was clearly benefiting from this new connection with nature and his wellbeing began to improve, allowing him to get more from the sessions, and in-turn enabling him to feel part of the group community. He spoke of sleeping better, his physical health improving, and a want to start taking care of himself again; these changes were visible from the outside too as his confidence and self-belief grew. He even got to a point where he was able to share his beliefs and life experiences with the group during one of the Earth

with us and had started to support other group members in their work too, so the move from participant to volunteer seemed a smooth and natural progression for James who had clearly found his meaning and purpose in life again. He worked hard on his addiction issues and has been open to feedback and support to further his journey with us. James is reliable, conscientious and a complete natural in his volunteering role at Green Light Trust and remains committed to improving himself daily.

the new life skills he has learned have rippled out to his loved ones, friends, and the wider community as he shares his new way of being with others. James has grown immensely in a short space of time. He has pushed himself in areas where previously he would have given up, and despite the continued challenge of his mental health, he turns up for life now, is able to ask for help if he needs it and freely gives to others what was previously given to him.

Rougham Control Tower Aviation Museum

Two quotes from our Chairman

“13 volunteers again excelled themselves on Sunday, with a great deal of work being done and some things even completed!.

March will be exceptionally busy and if all goes to plan we may very well be on site every Sunday as well as some week

Also, Graham has posted the following:

“To put your minds at ease, the Rougham Control Tower is Grade 2 listed and has been for several years, that includes all the buildings within the museums fence line. We have a 99-year lease, with about 68 years left to run. Unfortunately, the issue here is between the Rougham Estate and Skyward Flight Training. There are no plans to build on the land for the foreseeable future, a date of around 2041 has been mentioned.

days, if you fancy helping out we would love to have you on board.

Please pray to the weather Gods to keep the days fine and dry. Thanks again all, onward and upward.”

Graham

Many hands make light work of these jobs – can you please help?

If anything happens to the Memorial to the 94th BG (H) they will have to contend with several thousand irate 8th USAAF veteran’s families as well as us Brits.”

additional opening dates

Please also remember, we are adding to our Sunday opening, this year access to the Museum will also be on Bank Holiday Monday’s. This will include Easter April 10th, May 1st & 29th, the King’s Coronation (May 8th) and August 28th. These additional dates are for a trial period this season and subject to volunteer availability. If successful we can continue in future years – but we still need some more helpers!

So, our official countdown is 6,5 …..weeks to Easter Sunday 2023. It will soon be here, April 9th.

See you again next month in April, here in The Directory.

In October 1983 Christians began to gather on the Moreton Hall Estate to worship. There were very few houses; in fact, only two closes and part of Raedwald Drive had been built. The people gathered in homes at first and when it opened, they started to worship in the old community centre which is now the site of the play park at the top of Heldhaw Road. Then in 1987 they welcomed a Church Army Captain, Pat Mottram. When he left in 1990, I was appointed.

By Christmas 1994 we were able to open the main part of our building and by the end of the decade, 1999, we opened our small hall. Since October 1983 we have seen many, many blessings – raising huge sums of money for the building; people being converted; people being filled with the Holy Spirit; and people being healed physically, mentally and spiritually. God has really blessed us over the last forty years.

So, in October 2023, there will be various celebrations to mark the very special occasion of our fortieth anniversary.

For those of you who know your Bibles well, forty is a very significant number. Forty refers to the years the tribes of Israel walked in the desert. Forty days was the time Jesus spent in the wilderness being tempted by the devil and it also refers to the forty days of Lent which has just begun.

As I have already said, we can look back with great thanksgiving and praise for the way God has taken a handful of people and turned it into a church. He has given us all the buildings and resources we needed and enabled us to reach out to our community as it grows.

That is what we are seeking to do even now and that is why on 11th March we will be welcoming Ishmael for a Praise Party at 2:00pm This is a super event for young families and young people to enjoy church in a new, exciting, and positive way. There is no charge for what a spectacular occasion will be, but there will be a collection at the end of the meeting. Light refreshments will be provided.

You will see from the schedule of events throughout March that we will be celebrating our own pilgrimage through Lent, and we are looking forward to the wonder of Easter Day when we are reminded that Jesus triumphed over Satan by dying on a cross and rising again. That is how He gives all of us a second chance and an opportunity to be close to God not only in this life but also in the next.

On what will prove to be a momentous year in the life of Christ Church Moreton Hall, as we give thanks to God for all He has done for us, why don’t you take the opportunity to connect with God in a new way and join in what God has done for us all on Moreton Hall?

With every good wish

Why not bring your mum to church on the 19th March and receive a small posy of flowers

A prisoner finds freedom in a cell

When he was young, John Yianni became involved in football violence which led him into a life of crime. In 1980, he was arrested and found guilty of 36 armed robberies. For some reason the judge was unbelievably lenient to him, giving him six, seven-year sentences and allowing him to serve them concurrently. This meant that John was only inside for seven years. No one could believe his good fortune, least of all his barrister!

John was sent to Wandsworth prison where he shared a cell with a man who’d committed an armed robbery on a postoffice and had been given 12 years. Interestingly, the people who owned that post office were Christians and they had sent the man a bible. He gave it to John who began to read it. One day John was reading chapter 11 of John’s gospel, which describes how Lazarus died. However, thanks to Jesus, Lazarus later emerged from the dark tomb ‘alive and unbound’. John Yianni said that as he read this, he too felt unbound. He was still in his cell, but suddenly, he felt totally free!

When he came out of prison, John didn’t return to crime. Instead, he worked for the

Shaftsbury Society in a hostel, helping people with learning difficulties. He went on to work as a care worker in a nursing home in Shetland. People are always amazed that John has been given such jobs, but as he says “It’s because Jesus is real and has really changed me.”

Soon, Christians will celebrate Easter, a festival that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. On the cross, Jesus took upon himself the sin of every person who ever lived. An act that cut him off from his heavenly father, to the extent that he felt that God had forsaken him. And then he

died and like Lazarus, was put in a tomb. This looked like the end. But three days later, Jesus came back to life in an event known as the resurrection; a miraculous rising from the dead! Proving that Jesus really has overcome the power of sin and can offer us life after death!

Lazarus and John Yianni both experienced the transforming power of Jesus. In different ways, he brought each of them back to life. But the good news is that Jesus is still transforming lives, even today. Which is what we celebrate - every Easter.

THE 19TH HOLE

COACH

Email: adamtrettpga@hotmail.co.uk Facebook: Adam Trett - ADT Golf Coaching

February saw us golfers have some colder days and also a few very nice ones mixed in to play under some lovely blue skies. This gave me the feeling that maybe just maybe that spring might be starting to appear.

This month we have the clock change to look forward to and that will lead us perfectly into what I class as the start of the season, The Masters in early April.

Now is the time to dust the clubs down and get in some hard work before the season kicks off.

COACHES CORNER – STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE

Strike is the most important thing about any golf shot you hit, without good contact between the face of any club and the golf ball it will be very hard for you to be able to control the result of that shot.

In this item I am going to highlight one area that i see a lot when coaching clients in the short game. This month we will be looking at topped or thinned chip shot, this shot will often happen just at the wrong time in your round of golf and will strike fear into other shot of this length or type for the rest of the round.

So the most common problem i see from clients hitting this type of shot is the arms moving in towards the body through the impact area and the right hand (for a right handed golfer) taking control of shot, this action makes controlling the low point very hard and often leads to striking the ball on or above the equator of the ball seeing it run across the green.

The drill below will allow you to practice better technique and achieve a more control and consistent strike on these short game shorts. Building confidence in the area of your game is essential to playing good golf.

Tie Drill - This is a low cost drill that will allow you to say goodbye to those confidence killing thin chip shots for good.

As you can see from the images, you will need to set up to the chip shot as you normally would do. Then with the tie made longer you hold the tie under the left hand on the grip of the golf club.

The tie needs to be pulled torte at the address position, from here you will need to complete the back swing and follow through with the tie keeping the tension.

If you can complete this then your arms wont have lost structure and should allow the wrists to be less involved throughout the shots. Over time and with practice this movement will become more natural and you will learn to trust this even under the greatest pressure.

I hope this section will help to improve your game, but if you are still struggling with this or any area of your golf game, why not contact me for further assistance?
