Hadleigh RFC and Wattisham Station join forces for charity... An invitational Hadleigh RFC XV and Army Air Corp XV took to the pitch recently at Layham Road Sports Ground to compete in the inaugural Bungle Memorial Cup match. A total of £2,500 was raised for TSSS (Turner Syndrome Support Society) and the Lainey Walters Trust. Hadleigh RFC emerged winners (36-32) in a game that proved highly competitive and entertaining throughout. The Cup match also proved the perfect draw for a large crowd of supporters keen to honour the memory of Cpl James ‘Bungle’ Walters who lost his life in Afghanistan earlier this year. The Cup match was just one of the highlights arranged in a full afternoon and evening of fundraising. Live entertainment was provided by Wattisham Military Wives Choir in a very moving set and by the brilliant, Zoe and the Pulse. A pitch side bar, BBQ, match commentary, raffle, guest ales, karaoke and lots of other activities for the kids also helped us to persuade parents to register their children for the new season. Servicemen, players, supporters and even passers-by came along and joined in the fun. Commenting on the day, Charlie Warburton, Chairman, Hadleigh RFC, said “This has been an absolutely wonderful day. We are all very happy and proud to have been able to honour James’ memory in such fitting style and with such emphatic support from our local Community and friends at Wattisham Station, Bungle's family and, of course, Tracey and Lainey Walters”.

Dear readers, it is strange how things happen. I was on the way to my hairdressers which is James Daniel at 20 High Street, Hadleigh (Tel. 01473 823616) who by the way takes a great deal of time and care and produces a very neat finish. I am a walking testament to James’ work! This journey was only a few strides up the High Street and so I decided to take the air and to leave Frank, my chauffeur, behind. My readers often approach me when I am out; they can’t believe that I am real! Sure enough a gentleman stopped me and suggested that I may like to go to the Hadleigh Community Choir Concert in St Mary’s Hadleigh the following evening. As the concert was of light music (a term that is no longer in common parlance) comprising many of the well known songs from World Wars 1 and 2, I thought that it would be “right up my street”. Such a lot of work had gone into the occasion and I take my hat off to the Choir’s Director, Simon Thompson for everything that he must have done. The accompanist was excellent and so was the opera singer Maggie Addison. There was a war time Jeep at the door. But I did not enjoy it as much as I should. The dreadful state of St Mary’s did not help with next to no pews, old plastic chairs, clapped out lounge suites, pool tables and such like. We could have done without the comedian and I wished the large Choir (so well presented in black with light blue accessories) had projected its enthusiasm to the audience through a much larger sound. Maria was delighted to find that Frank’s pumpkins are enormous; in fact she can hardly manage them on her own. I know that some splendid soups will be on the menu for Halloween. I have continued to be really busy with our conveyancing business. You may wish to give some thought as to how you hold property jointly whether as “beneficial joint tenants” where the property will pass to the survivor or as “tenants in common” where you will each have an individual share. The latter can make life more difficult for a body seeking to put a mortgage on a property against, say, nursing home fees. I have had various approaches from people who have had very difficult experiences when using “on line” conveyancing providers. Do use a local “high street” firm which can provide the service that you are expecting. A Lasting Power of Attorney is so important to have in place as many of you have found so do come to see me. There is something of a procedure involved but we can make that as straightforward as possible for you. Howard Gibbons
e n u J f o d n e n u J f o end P ** d in m f o cce ind f mHERE.. e oWe’re Hadleigh Year Of The Sheep 2015
What is round-ish and fluffy and is the reason Hadleigh exists? You’re right…sheep. It was the woollen cloth trade which made Hadleigh famous. Sheep escapades will start at the Hadleigh Show on 16th May and end with sheep herded through the town to a Grand Finale at St. Mary’s Church on September 26th. In between there will be events, shows, a celebration of Hadleigh’s history and silly sheep Palmercompetitions, & Partners fun for everyone to get involved in, from children to pensioners. This will be a community event supported by Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce. The High Street will be the focus for all things sheep but it is hoped that all groups and organisations in the town will join in. If you have any ideas towards The 2015 market leading agent making a memorable Sheep year or would like to be involved in decorating the town or help in any way please contact: Jane Haylock at The Idler, 37 High Street, Hadleigh. e-mail jane@theidler.plus.com or phone 01473 827752

Whatfield is proud to be Suffolk’s Village of the year 2014
Photo: East Anglian Daily Times / Gregg Brown
Whatfield has been an amazing place to be over the summer – having entered and proudly won the title of Suffolk Village of the Year 2014. This all took place over the past few months with the first judges arriving in June, when we won the Babergh Village of the Year 2014 award. This led to two further visits from more judges during July and August and culminated in the announcement of the winning village live on Radio Suffolk in September. For this we had a group of villagers nervously waiting in the village hall, along with the children from Whatfield Primary School, all with their ear to the radio and a telephone link up. As (eventually) it was announced the first place was to Whatfield, the hall was filled with a mighty cheer, which the whole of Suffolk must have heard over the airwaves! There were also a few tears but these were quickly wiped away for a celebratory photo on the village green! The groups of judges had all visited our village to see the various amenities, from allotments to the village hall and lots in between! They met a cheery gathering of people from all of the village’s various committees, clubs and groups who assembled in the Salvation Army Hall; to have a friendly chat about the variety of things to do here and what a great place Whatfield is to live. Several of the judges even said they would love to buy a house and move here – such was the impression Whatfield made on them. So in true Whatfield spirit, the presentation of the award in October will turn into a party to celebrate our village hall’s 40th birthday. All residents are invited and are welcomed to have a say in what’s best to spend the prize money on.

Scuffs and Scrapes
Your only x x x x x Indian Restaurant in Suffolk and Essex
Autumn warning from motoring experts! Most motorists understand that keeping car paintwork in good condition prevents rust, both extending the life of their car and maintaining its value. However, whilst repairing major damage is a must, minor damage such as scratches, scuffs and bumps are often left, either due to concerns about cost, or the inconvenience of having the car off the road for a couple of days or more in a body shop. However, as autumn and winter approach, motoring experts agree that minor damage can turn into a major headache. Stewart Topp, AA Patrol of the Year advises, “Check for stone chips as rust forms very quickly in the cold, damp weather,” while Mike Gilderson of Scuffs and Scrapes, adds, “It certainly pays to repair even small scuffs and scratches, as these can spread into larger areas of rust, ultimately costing you dearly if left untreated.” “As the AA points out, it’s a smart move, to get your car repaired if you have any form of minor damage to your paintwork,” advises Mike Gilderson of Scuffs and Scrapes. “Whether a scratch, scuff, chip or dent, a cosmetic repair will not only make sure your car looks good, but will seal the area of damage, making it weatherproof and prevent rust setting in. If you leave it, the rust will eventually lead to corrosion which could ultimately result in a more extensive – and expensive – repair!” Mike uses a special system developed by ICI , which can repair small areas of damage within only a few hours and at a fraction of the cost of traditional body shop repair methods. What’s more, because Mike operates from a fully equipped mobile workshop, he can come to your home (or your place of work) and undertake the repair at your convenience, prolonging your cars life and improving its resale value. For further advice about winter motoring visit the AA website or, for a FREE no obligation estimate, with paintwork repairs starting from £65.00, contact Mike Gilderson at Scuffs and Scrapes on 01473 824909 or 07425 583478.

Hadleigh Healing Society Autumn is upon us with its beautiful colours with darker evenings and colder mornings. Nature has worked hard to give us food and now she is quietly resting until the start of another productive year. We are so lucky to be able to watch the crops grow in the fields, animals grazing in quiet contentment and know this cycle will continue as it has done for hundreds of years. This cycle has to be protected and held with respect also cherished because it is a gift. Our environment is under threat by pollution, big business and energy needs, we must protect it not abuse it. We each can do our bit to maintain the balance. Think more about where our food comes from and how many miles has it travelled to reach our plates. If anyone would like help and support to cope with today's problems our healers are only too willing to lend that “listening ear” in the strictest confidence. Please telephone 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org for an appointment. On Saturday, 11th October we are having another Clairvoyant Day. It is an opportunity to have a 20 minute private reading with a medium for £12. If you would like a reading, book early because these Clairvoyant Days are becoming very popular. Telephone: 01473 823282 (answer machine) leaving a contact name and telephone number clearly, or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org

THE OBSERVER Charity fund raising The post these days is full of requests for donations and if your so minded you select your own charity and bin the rest. Our local community also has it's own share of good cause projects and dedicated event supporters. Unfortunately it is becoming a bit of a self defeating process for obtaining support as local companies and traders are being inundated with requests to display posters or for donations from all sides. Look at the notice board in the car park next to Barclays as an example. It is flooded with notices of forthcoming events and if you respect another's appeal by delaying your notice until the date of the one on the board comes along you will have had it, as someone else will have covered their leaflet over it (or yours), anyway. Added to which many are really not advertising specific events but are for continuous or long term activities for commercial gain. This board obviously needs organising but by whom? This is not a Town Council problem, so the unsatisfactory mess will continue. The Library has a system of rotation in place but this too gets overloaded but your notice can be seen, although perhaps for not as long as you would wish. The notice board in the Co-op works reasonably well as a code of self imposed conduct seems to apply apart from the odd queue jumper. However it is the notices to shop keepers that give a problem, many take them out of courtesy but seldom display them. Would you like to pay rent and rates for your window to be full for another's benefit ? These worthies also seem to be considered fair game for a donated prize. If you should write formally you may hit the occasional jackpot or even get the courtesy of a "regret" letter. Mostly you will draw a blank even when you incl. a s.a.e. but who really can blame them? Air your views to HCN but don't expect a reply!!!!! The Observer

33rd Suffolk Historic Churches Sponsored Cycle Ride
BRICK LANE MUSIC HALL 2015 Tues 3rd Feb Fri 20 March Fri 24th April Sat 30th May Thurs 2nd July
Riding high on the recent success of Whatfield in 'Suffolk Village of the Year' the community didn't let us down and we had a wonderful turn out again. So on the 13th Sept we all set off from St Margaret's Church via the Salvation Army to Elmsett. We visited the Methodist Church and St Peters, both of which gave us a wonderful welcome with well earned biscuits and drinks to keep the cyclists going. We then all headed off to Naughton Church and arrived on mass for more refreshments and a good look around the churchyard to reminisce. A few of us then said our goodbyes but the remainder carried on to Nedging and Semer Church which totalled just over 15 miles in 3.5 hours. All in all a wonderful bike ride with only 2 early dismounts and 1 puncture and over ÂŁ500 raised to be split between the charity and church of your choice. I would like to thank all those people that took part on the day, whether that be sign the forms. Everyone to cycling or the volunteers who man the churches played their part in what turned out to be a great day. Mark Butcher (Whatfield local co-ordinator)

Friends of Hadleigh Library The Friends group has had a busy and successful summer.There were two puppet based events for children. The Norwich Puppet Theatre presented The Pied Piper at the United Reformed Church with a follow-up craft session at the library. Later in August Sara Holman from the Suffolk Wildlife Trust led a puppet making workshop using old socks and natural materials. It was a great success with over 50 children taking part over a two hour session, with all that hard work everyone was glad of the refreshments! Looking ahead local author Nicola Upson will be at the library giving a talk on Friday November 14th, look out for more details nearer the time. If you would like to find out more about the Friends group or would like to be involved, please come along and enjoy a glass of wine at our AGM on Wednesday October 8th at 7.00pm in the library.

Fidelis Activity News Community First Responders:There is a defibrillator on the outside wall of the Co-op but would you know when and how to use it? That was the challenge for Fidelis members at their last monthly meeting. Fortunately, Trevor and Yvonne, two dedicated local Community First Responders (CFR), were on hand to demonstrate this life-saving piece of equipment. After a brief introduction on the role of Demonstrating the use of a defibrillator and CPR Community First Responders, they went on to explain how to make use of the defibrillator in an emergency situation. Using a flexible dummy Yvonne deftly demonstrated how the patches should be applied and used in conjunction with CPR - Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation and oxygen. It was clear that, while waiting for an Ambulance, the prompt use of the machine can really make a difference to a person’s chance of survival. All First Responders are volunteers, on call from their regular jobs and there is always a need for more people to join the Hadleigh team. When Trevor had answered the many questions he had one last request; that house numbers be clearly visible. This will avoid delay in an emergency. A donation was given to the local CFR group.

Discover something unique for Christmas “Christmas comes but once a year� and finding that something different, and affordable to give each year can be quite a challenge - but help is at hand! At Bridge Farm Barns in Monks Eleigh, shoppers really can find that ‘something a little different’. The barns are open seven days a week and this year they are staying open late on Wednesday 22nd October for some early bird Christmas shopping! Shoppers who come along after 5pm on that day will benefit from a 15% “late night shopping discount� on many items. This wonderful local retail complex is a must for inspirational Christmas shopping. The Corn Craft Gift Shop is an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful cards, decorations, jewellery, and unusual gift ideas that you won’t find in the big stores, and you’re sure to find plenty of stocking fillers to fill the stockings of all ages!

New to the barns this year is Sarah’s Attic, a haven of all things vintage & retro. Here you can find collectables, shabby chic furniture, French vintage items and all sorts of interesting objects. Another unique gift idea for Christmas would be a “Falconry Experience�.

The Hadleigh Historian: Issue 24 (October – November 2014) The front cover of this issue features the 18th century milestone obelisk, which is still at the centre of Hadleigh but not in its original position, which is shown in the views looking south and north along High Street. The series ‘Lords of the manor’ starts with the manor of Toppesfield Hall, the extent of its former jurisdiction over part of Hadleigh is shown on a map. The story is mostly of absentee landlords living on estates elsewhere but, nevertheless, they were people who shaped Hadleigh in various ways. For example, in the centre of town, they were responsible for setting out the original market place and on the river, they moved the crossing from beside Toppesfield Mill to a position further north and built Toppesfield Bridge. In 1730, the manorial rights were purchased by Grace, dowager countess of Dysart, and with permission from the National Trust, a copy of her portrait accompanies the article. Not until 1880 did a lord of the manor, Hadleigh solicitor Charles Grimwade, live in the manor house and it is one of his descendants who holds the manorial title today. As well as dusty court rolls and old title deeds, a wealth of local records have been consulted, which also throw light upon other aspects of Hadleigh’s history. Articles in earlier issues of the magazine have promoted readers to contact the Editor with follow-up information. Sharon Seager of Hadleigh saw ‘A Hadleigh lad goes to war’ (Issues 22 and 23), in which Frederick Holbrow related his war-time experiences including the decision made in early 1939 that he and his friend Felix Mowles should join the RAF. Sharon is Felix’s niece and has kindly loaned family papers and photographs from which his story is told. Also, Issue 22 featured the first and last trains at Hadleigh station in 1849 and 1965 respectively. Jeff Ward of Stanway in Essex has sent details concerning himself as the last station master and of Henry Ward as the first. Although they have the same surname, Jeff says he cannot find a family connection. Roger Kennell of Hadleigh returns to the pages of The Hadleigh Historian with ‘ St Mary’s church: analysis of the external fabric’. At first, this does not seem to be the most thrilling of subjects but if you have ever been on one of Roger’s guided walks around Hadleigh, you will know that you can never again passby a brick wall without giving it a second look. So too with St Mary’s church, as here he points out the meaning behind re-used pieces of building material, particularly burnt clay in the form of bricks and tiles. Not only are they old, possibly of Saxon or even Roman origin, but their re-use in medieval times to help create the walls of the parish church suggest local activity during Roman and Saxon times that little is known about. Roger’s colour photographs will start you off on your ‘I-Spy’ trail around the building. Finally, the career of Frank Ling is the subject of ‘A shop in the High Street: early days at the Co-op’. He started as a shop-boy here in 1898 and eventually became manager of the branch in 1923. His memories and those of his son Sidney, who was brought up in the flat over the shop, have been published separately but are now put together to give an insight into the life behind the counter during the first half of the 20th century.

Hadleigh Evening WI At the September meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI a minutes silence was observed to remember Elizabeth Cage who died recently. Liz had been on the Committee for several years. In summer she entertained members to afternoon tea in her home in Layham where the more energetic had enjoyed a ramble round the nearby countryside. The President welcomed visitors Paula Roberts and Janet Carter. She then reminded members of some of the many events we have enjoyed together this summer. These included visits to the Beth Chatto garden and Hampton Court. We joined Polstead WI for their 100th anniversary party. Some members attended a meeting at the Quaker house, to learn the principles of their faith. A few took the opportunity to learn and practice basic archery. (See picture) The speaker was Dr Gurpreet Singh. He started his power point presentation started with a picture Taj Mahal Agra built in 17th century by the Mughal emperor in memory of his third wife. Gurpreet and his wife Hema, who were both born in England, met on a blind date. To satisfy his family and comply with Indian culture and his religion, the first ceremony was held in a Sikh temple. Hema’s family are Hindu and a second ceremony was held in a Hindu temple. The traditional outfits were silk mainly white red and gold. At the receptions a vegetarian meal was served on banana leaves. Any food left was given to the poor. Finally they had a civil ceremony. Joan Rudman gave the vote of thanks complimenting Dr Singh on the beautiful photographs and giving one of the best talks we have ever had. Next meeting will be held on 21 October 2014 in the Seminar suite above the Hadleigh library starting 7.30pm. A harvest supper prepared by the members will be served. Visitors and new members are welcome. For further information please contact Philippa Carruthers phil.carruthers40@hotmail.co.uk or 01473 823057

We are delighted to have the children back at school after the summer holiday. The children have returned full of positive energy and enthusiasm. We have been really impressed by how quickly they have settled into their new classes and their hard work. We would also like to say a huge, warm welcome to our new children across the school. In particular, the children who have just started in Nursery and Reception are getting their first experiences of school life. They are having great fun, enjoying activities inside and out and making the most of all the fantastic resources on offer. They are terrific learners and listeners and have settled in quickly. It is lovely to welcome them into our school community. Over the summer, our new play equipment was installed and is almost ready for the children to use – more details next month! Also, we are pleased to be able to offer a daily afterschool club run by Premier Sport in addition to clubs run by staff members. The club offers children opportunities to try out various activities, including gymnastics, football and dance. Our theme for Worship this half term is ‘courage’. Thank you to Pastor Greg and Philip Mann, who have shared Worship with us so far this term. Mr Mann talked to the children about the story of St George and the Dragon and we have all been thinking about how we can show courage in our own lives. We are really pleased with the listening skills the children show in assembly and their willingness to join in and answer questions in front of all the other children. The children have been raising money for the Rosa Simon Music Fund. This local cause is very important to us at St Mary’s School and we are delighted by how generous the children and their parents have been. So far, we have raised £865 for this excellent cause. The fund, which was set up in memory of Rosa Simon, aims to support local children’s groups, play groups, schools and church groups by providing instruments and musical experiences for children. Rosa loved music and, through the fund, this love can be shared with others. To find out more about the fund visit www.rosasimonmusicfund.co.uk. Mr Paul Simon visited assembly in September to speak to the children and receive our donations. It was lovely for the children to hear more about Rosa and the difference our donations will make. On Wednesday 10th September we had a ‘Careers Day’ in school. The whole school enjoyed a day of looking at different jobs and the school learning that links with them. Finding out about how maths and English skills are useful in the work place helps to give learning a real sense of purpose for the children. We were delighted to welcome in several visitors who shared their working experiences. The children thought up a lot of incisive questions to ask and really enjoyed the activities put on for them. Thank you to all our visitors! We are always very keen to welcome people with a wide range of skills to share their expertise and experiences with the children. Do contact us if you’d like to contribute to other events in school. Children from our Year 3 and 4 classes enjoyed attending a book club at Elmsett Primary School. The club was aimed at able readers and it was a great chance for them to share and listen to other children talk passionately about books. Also, the children were able to select new books to borrow from the Schools’ Library Service. It is great for the children to have opportunities to extend their thinking and celebrate their love of books. As always, it has been a busy start to the year – full of exciting experiences, good learning and smiles! We look forward to sharing our school highlights with you throughout the coming year!
Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 Hey ho Folks, some of these Autumn mornings have a nip in them - really encourages a chap to take an extra five minutes, except Mum's foot is still behind me, pushing me out of the door. Mind you I had the last laugh yesterday, it took her two hours to find her spectacles in front of the Rayburn! While preparing the garden for winter, remember to check the bonfire for hedgehogs before you light it. They will be looking for a good place to sleep and they are becoming very scarce so please keep these creatures safe. If you plan to celebrate Guy Fawkes night, how about taking the family along to the Hadleigh Football Club organised display on 31st October? You will enjoy a good show for less expense or worry whilst helping to cut down the number of pops and bangs that terrify many wild and domestic animals. It's lovely when another animal leaves us for a new home but sad that some are left "on the shelf". Feline pals, Ace (black) and Bella (tabby), are a friendly, loving pair that have been overlooked for seven months. They spring to the door when people appear, eager to start a new life. I really hope someone comes for them soon and for Tabby and white mother and daughter, Sally and Socks who have waited even longer. Thanks to those who attended our events last month, over £500 was raised and we have received lots of lovely cat and dog food via our collection bins in the Hadleigh Co-op and Morrisons. Still to come is our big sale at The Old School, Long Melford on 12th October and our Christmas Fair at Leavenheath Village Hall on 23rd November. I can't wait to run off with the decorations when the girls start sorting them. You can be sure when things go missing, they've been pinched by me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua!
Pink Pub Crawl Will take place on Friday 24th October, starting at the George at 7.00pm. We will be painting the town pink to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer and your support is very much appreciated. Please join us if you can. Margaret Clapp 01473 822949

...leading the way to active living.
Andrew’s Quality Butchers celebrate their 20th anniversary Many Hadleigh residents will agree that the high street has changed dramatically over the last twenty years- many shops have come and gone, the town’s population has grown rapidly, and residents have battled to keep Hadleigh’s unique charm against the growing power of the big supermarkets. There are however a few Hadleigh institutions that have remained throughout, such as Andrew’s Quality Butchers which this October celebrates a staggering 20 years service to the local community. Andrew himself was a newcomer to the town in 1994, having learnt his trade on Smithfield meat market in London and in his father’s butcher’s shop in Essex after leaving school. When the time felt right to start his own business, it was Hadleigh that Andrew settled on as the ideal location to move his young family to and set up shop. With just him, his retired father helping out part time, and a local butcher Jock to set up, it took a while to build up customer’s trust and confidence. This trust between butcher and customer is today what Andrew’s growing team thrives on. Not only can customers rely on the team for expert advice and a consistent high quality of meat, they know that Andrew’s is one of the spots on the high street where they will always be looked after. Because whether it be working to a budget on a large order for a work’s Christmas dinner, helping a lost vegetarian with what to buy for a family BBQ, or remembering what the family like to eat for the confused son that is sent in to get bacon and eggs for breakfast, the team really care about catering for each and every customer’s individual needs. This friendly team has of course grown from the days of father and son to encompass a large family of butchers both junior and senior. While Andrew has had the support of three master butchers who have helped shape the shop’s reputation for many years, they have all invested their time in teaching the skills of butchery and service to a younger generation who are now qualified and experienced themselves. As this team has expanded, Andrew’s wife Claire has also taken on a much larger role, from supporting the business behind the scenes in the office to now making the shop’s delicatessen and home cooked produce as well known and popular as Andrew’s meat counter. In our busy world where there isn’t always the time to cook golden sausage rolls, warm fresh bread, or comforting meat pies, Claire realises the importance, now more than ever, of providing the town with a quality product that customers really could pass as their own, fresh out of the oven. From humble beginnings Andrew’s commitment to local community and continual re-investment into the business has carved out a space for the local traditional butcher in Hadleigh’s continually evolving, modern high-street. 74 High Street, Hadleigh, Suffolk, IP7 5EF 01473 827720 | shop@andrewsqualitybutchers.co.uk www.andrewsqualitybutchers.co.uk

Hadleigh Chamber Annual General Meeting Wednesday 19 November 2014 - 6.00pm Priory Hall, Benton Street, Hadleigh In comparison to last year 2014 has been relatively quiet for the Chamber but busy behind the scenes. So a big thank you to the people who give up their time and put so much energy into keeping the business related issues in Hadleigh and Suffolk under control. The Flowers in the High Street, the fight against Tesco, liaison with Babergh and Suffolk Councils and Police just don't happen without effort. However, this group of people has been dwindling over the last few years and the time commitment for a small team is becoming too much. The big issue now is that all the members need to engage to make the Chamber a success and ensure the business viewpoint is represented in all matters. Some key subjects are now not being addressed. Town Team – failed to get off the ground twice now through lack of interest. Even though we had almost 100 people attend the initial "ideas" meeting. Business Rates – when given the opportunity to put our views forward we had just one. Even though this was considered a major issue by all High Street businesses. The Government has now deferred the review. Public Sector – The Chamber has always been engaged with Babergh and Suffolk Councils, close contact with other Town Chambers and Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. Recently we have been unable to get a member along to all the meetings so matters such as local government procurement, planning etc. are being shelved. In relation to the number of businesses in Hadleigh, the Chamber has one of the highest penetrations in the country. But being a member of a Chamber of Commerce is not just a matter of paying annual fees. That money just covers the bare essentials. It is your time and activity that keeps the Chamber going. Losing our Business voice If we leave things to go on as they are it is likely that the Committee will actually not have a quorum at meetings as the apparent apathy of members is leaving the Committee members wondering why they give up their time. If we lose the Committee, we lose the Chamber. And losing the Chamber will mean there is no body for others, such as the Council, to connect and communicate with. Public sector funding comes from either the businesses direct or from the earnings of the staff we employ but we don't, as companies, get the vote. So lobbying through business associations is our principle route to affect beneficial change. We must maintain that channel. So, over to you, the members and businesses in Hadleigh and district. If the Chamber is to survive we need a full committee of people who will attend and work together. We then need all businesses to engage with the Committee and help out wherever they can and where they may have expertise. It doesn't take much time and the more people involved the less each person has to do. It gives you the opportunity to influence issues that can benefit your business whilst not demanding a lot of your time. Take action now If you can stand for the Committee and help guide the Chamber for the next couple of years, please put your nomination forward for President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer or any of up to eight committee members. If we are short on Committee numbers we are happy to co-opt people for specific projects – the major one for 2015 being the retail, tourism and community campaign being planned through Jane Haylock. Either email Tony Addison (tony.addison@free-rein.net) or download a nomination form from the Chamber website www.hadleighchamber.co.uk/agm. Tell us which post, or posts, you would like to be considered for and any special area of interest you have. It is important to keep the Chamber, our business voice, alive. Without it I have absolutely no doubt we would, for an example, have both Morrisons and Tesco in Hadleigh and a dying High Street. Support your Chamber in any way you can.

Jeannette also took exams in Latin, Ballroom (progressing to her teaching exams) and in Disco where she reached Gold Star level. After a break from dancing, Jeannette started again when she married her husband John. She firstly qualified in Old Time dancing and then progressed to qualifying in Latin American and Ballroom. Jeannette has not stopped at the basic teaching qualification but decided to develop her skills and knowledge and became a Licentiate Ballroom Teacher in 1995 and a Fellow of the ISTD in Latin American in 1996.

Happy 21st Birthday Travel 2000
Ken has his limited edition Perpetual Bird Calendars, and a range of greetings cards for sale at
September saw Travel 2000 celebrate its 21st birthday. You will all remember that Travel 2000 started from a two roomed office suite above Abbotts the estate agents in 1993. It started there because at that time there were no suitable shop premises available in the High Street. Gerry, who owns Travel 2000 and came from a very extensive travel background, moved to the area and wanted to start his own travel company. Having researched Hadleigh very carefully, Gerry decided it was Hadleigh where he wanted to establish his company. At that time, his only competition was John Hilary Travel, but he knew that Travel 2000 could offer his clients something different. Despite discounts here, discounts there from the competition, he started to get clients coming in to see him and it was also those very people that spread the word about his high level of personal service and knowledge. As his business grew he was keen to have a shop presence and the ladies dress wear shop below him closed. This gave Travel 2000 and Gerry the opportunity to move into the shop. As he now had the shop front, he employed another member of staff. The business continued to grow with newly recommended clients coming in all the time. “The shop was quite small” explained Gerry and he had now set his sights on having a bigger shop in the centre of the High Street. That opportunity came when Totem at 84 High Street closed .This beautiful grade 2 listed property became available. Gerry said “I rented the shop and took a long lease on it – the location was perfect and my business blossomed here - I also had the very good fortune to subsequently buy the premises”. In 2006 Gerry picked up a very rare virus which caused him to have a heart attack and was quite ill, but his staff, family and friends all rallied around and the business continued to be run while he recovered. “It was a real shock to me and I did re-evaluate my life.” said Gerry. In 2011, Gerry decided to semi-retire and move and run the business from his home in Manningtree. He set-up his website www.travel2000uk.com – telephone: 01206 394433 email:travel2000@4ourweb.com and most of his Hadleigh and surrounding area clients still choose to visit him or he will visit them at their homes. Gerry says the flexibility of this is fantastic and his business continues to prosper. Gerry added – “I would like to sincerely thank all my clients in Hadleigh and the surrounding areas for their loyal and continued support during the past 21 years, it continues to be a real pleasure to deal with you all. To any prospective new clients, if you feel that you want to experience a high level of service at very competitive prices please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be delighted to help you.”

October comes upon us and Autumn is taking a firm grip on us, the nights may be cooler but are also longer, so more observing can be done. This month I thought we'd take a look at a very special near miss involving Mars and a Comet called C/2013 A1 (siding spring). Comet C/2013 A1 was the first comet discovered in 2013 by Robert H McNaught of Siding Spring observatory, Australia. It is a dynamically new comet, which means that it has never approached the sun before and has taken millions of years to reach the inner Solar System from a hypothesised reservoir of comets that lies at a distance of half way to the nearest star to us, Proxima Centauri, called the Oort cloud. These Oort cloud comets are not unusual but tend to approach the sun from random directions and inclinations to the ecliptic plane, the inclination of this comet being 129 degrees and is coming into the solar system from a south-north direction. But this comet orbits, once calculated, made astronomers raise their eyebrows- this comet had a very real chance of colliding with Mars on October 19th 2014. On this date at 7.28pm BST, the comet will hurtle past Mars at a distance of just 81,840 miles, (refinements of the orbit concluded a near miss instead of actual impact) that is the closest a comet has come to a planet ( other than Jupiter's collision with shoemaker-levy 9 in 1994) in recorded human history and thanks to a flotilla of space craft in orbit around Mars and on the surface we will have a ringside seat to observe this encounter. Five craft orbit the planet and none of them were designed for such an encounter this is most problematic considering the years of research that could be lost and not to mention the billions of pounds invested within the project because encountering comets is highly dangerous. The size of the comet c/2013 A1 is not large by any means, just 700 meters in diameter, the problem is that it will be releasing from its nucleus around 100 kg's of dust a second as it draws closer to the sun. This dust will range in size from as fine as cigarette smoke particles to possibly larger sugar cubes size pieces. The next problem is the velocity of the comet which is being pulled by the sun into this part of the solar system, the dust at closest approach to Mars will be released at 56km/ per second or 124,992 m.p.h meaning that even a piece of dust 1mm in size would have the impact of a bullet on a space craft and blow it to pieces. The solution to this problem is to "hide" the spacecraft from the worst of the comet by moving them to a higher orbit around Mars ,this will enable the craft to orbit the planet 20 minutes slower which will be enough time to allow the worst of the comet to pass. The image attached illustrates both the inclination of the orbit in relation to that of the planets and also clearly shows the close proximity of both objects come 19th October. From a viewing proposition, the comet will be very low on the horizon and very dim in brightness and a telescope will be required, also I would fully recommend that anyone with an android phone download the free sky map which will show you exactly the position of the planet Mars. It's an exciting time for both comet enthusiasts and planet ones respectively. I myself will be working on a project in collaboration with NASA during this period and hopefully some exciting scientific data will be found, results to come next month. So until then, eyes to the skies, Neil Norman neilnorman-72@hotmail.co.uk

Kersey Mill Newsletter The Waterwheel restoration is now in full swing. This month we were able to make a considerable step forward on the enormous task of restoring the waterwheel. Now that we can turn the wheel we have removed the corroded buckets so that they can be replaced. We are lucky to have Mill Wright, William (Bill) Griffiths leading the way. Bill amongst many other things is very experienced with a welding torch, some of the corroded buckets and nuts and bolts have needed burning out, a long, hard, time consuming process. Even when all the bolts are removed the buckets are a very tight fit and take considerable efforts to remove. The wheel now moves smoothly on its bearing but is so badly out of balance due to the inconsistent distribution of weight. As a result two pairs of block and tackle are used to turn the wheel and secure it from any unexpected movement whilst the team are working on it. The section of the wheel that spent the last 80 plus years at the bottom of the pit buried in water and slime has hardly rusted at all, it’s the buckets that have been in and out of water and exposed to the air that have corroded, twenty of them in total. We have had the new buckets cut and shaped from Corten Steel by Needham Fabrications, using a monster of a machine, a Bystronic Pressbrake that is capable of delivering 400 tons, they only needed to use a mere 200 tons to shape our buckets. Many thanks to Kevin, Mick, Beckie and Rob for all their help and advice. Picture is of Rob Cooper with the first of the new buckets. Needham fabrications have managed to replicate the shape and it’s fair to say they look amazing. Over half the starts on the entire wheel have broken so before the new buckets can be replaced repairs are required, To repair a set of starts and to replace a buckets takes approximately 20 man hours so quite a considerable amount of work required, however I am delighted to report that the first pair of starts were repaired this weekend and the first of the new buckets is fitted and it looks amazing! Corten steel is an incredible hard material that will rust on the surface however due to its chemical composition is far less corrosive than other steels making ideal for this task. A large proportion of the cost of the Corten steel has been covered by the fund raising events held by the friends of kersey mill such as Santa’s workshop that proved incredibly popular last year, so much so it will be repeated this year and tickets will go on sale mid-October. Spaces are limited so do book early. If you have been to Kersey Mill recently you may well have noticed that the exterior joinery repairs are still ongoing.

TWO FILMS WITH A WORTHWILE STORY TO TELL! Friday 10th October at 7.30 pm
The Invisible Woman (12) On Friday October 10th we present THE INVISIBLE WOMAN, a secret love story surrounding the life of Charles Dickens, who met and fell in love with Nelly Ternan, an 18 year old actress performing at London's Haymarket Theatre. Although Dickens was 45 years old at the time, the love affair lasted for 13 years until his death in 1870. This is a British biographical drama from BBC Films, directed by Ralph Fiennes who plays the lead part of Dickens, supported by Felicity Jones, Kristin Scott Thomas and Tom Hollander. Friday 24th October at 7.30 pm
The Butler (12) In complete contrast on Friday 24th October is THE BUTLER, an American historical drama loosely based on the real life of Eugene Allen, who served as a White House butler for 34 years from the presidency of Eisenhower to that of Ronald Reagan. The film stars Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, a slightly fictionalized version of Eugene Allen. It traces the dramatic changes that swept American society during this time - from the Civil Rights movement to Vietnam and beyond. The film is essentially a dip into American history as seen through the eyes of Cecil Gaines and it makes essential viewing! Cost for each film is £3.50 on the door (£2.50 for accompanied children). Refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval!

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence had been received from Councillor Amin. This apology was accepted. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were none. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 24th July 2014 a copy of which is included in the Minute Book, was confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING Neighbourhood Plan Councillor Cook asked if the first meeting of the working party had been arranged. The Chair advised that he is waiting for the Town Clerk to provide dates in September. At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow the members of the public to speak on the Land East of Hadleigh Hall. The height and state of the trees on this piece of land was brought to the Council’s attention. LAND EAST OF HADLEIGH HALL, POUND LANE The Chair read the letter received from the owner of the piece of land. Councillor Byrne advised members on the history of this piece of land and the involvement of Hadleigh Town Council over the years in trying to buy it at auction, carry out a Compulsory Purchase Order and trying to get the area tidied up with the assistance of Babergh District Council. Members were all in agreement that they would not want to see any building development on this piece of land but would be happy for it to be opened up for public use with the possibility of limited car parking available for use by the Church. The main concern was the unkempt state of the land near to a Class 1 building (St. Mary’s Church) and other listed buildings on neighbouring streets. The Clerk was asked to obtain clarification on certain matters raised in the letter and report back. The Clerk was asked to contact Babergh District Council requesting an investigation into the height and condition of the trees on this piece of land and should any work need to be carried out on them. A request was made for an informal meeting to be held with members of St. Mary’s Church, the Town Clerk, Town Mayor, and Chair of Planning Committee to discuss this matter. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/14/00813/LBC 3 Benton Street.

The Chair would be in touch with the Town Clerk to arrange the first Working Party Meeting for some time in September. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Clerk advised that subscription to Navigus Planning was £50 per year for four editions. As Hadleigh Town Council had previously received this publication it was unanimously agreed to re- subscribe. On behalf of a resident the Clerk was asked to contact Babergh District Council for clarification on the Affordable Housing Levy. The Chair advised that nationally there had been 134 applications to take over council allotment land and only 4 had been refused. Watford Council is currently seeking to take over the allotments initially for a hospital, then for housing and now to put a car park on the land. Alternative allotments had been offered in a different area but allotment holders were fighting this through the High Court. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.06pm. Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Wacky Walking On Friday 26th September, Hadleigh High School held their 5th sponsored walk. The total mileage covered was approximately 9 miles, and was achieved by the whole school with many of the pupils kitted out in fancy dress.
The last sponsored walk in 2011 raised £10,000, 50% of which was donated to charity, the remaining was contributed to improving the facilities in school. Of course, we are aiming just as high for this year’s walk, and again, 50% will go to charity, and the rest will go to the school council to consult with the pupils as to where it will be used. We will let you know how much we have raised this year in next month’s Community News. The route took us through Hadleigh, Upper Layham and Polstead. We did this circular route in the morning and then stopped for lunch at Polstead, returning to school on a different route. Students with a disability took a more carefully chosen route, which included wheelchair access. We asked some members of the school who have completed the walk before what they thought about it. Year 10 form tutor, Ms Calvino, said: “As always, I think it is a great way for the school to work together, and help the outside community by raising money for charity.” Year 10 student Anna Mclellan told us: “The last walk was so memorable; our fancy dress theme was ‘Fame’ and we dressed up in pink tutus, we looked ridiculous! It was great fun!” We also spoke to a year 7, Archie Lloyd, who went on the walk for the first time, he said: “I wasn’t so sure, as I’ve never done it before, but it was really fun and we were able to get dressed up.”
year 100% of the pupils achieved the award. The award consists of three sections and an expedition. These sections are physical, skill and volunteering, two of which are completed over a three month period, the other is six months. The expedition is a test of putting up a tent, cooking on a tangier, reading a map and planning a route. Emily Smith told us: “It should be a great experience and I’m really looking forward to it.” Charlotte Hood, said: “I’ve already done my practice expedition and it was fun. I can’t wait for the qualifying in April.” Good luck to everyone who is taking part! New School Website At the start of the new school year, Hadleigh High released a new school website. The new website makes it easier to navigate and find the things you need. It also displays new information about what goes on in the school. There is a special new parents section to see the school calendar, Go4School reporting and the Hadleigh Times. The URL is still the same, just go to www.hadleighhigh.net. You may need to clear your cache but that is explained once you get onto the website. Hadleigh High School welcomes you! A few members from the Community News team went around interviewing some Year 7’s, asking them about their first few weeks at Hadleigh High School. Hannah Simmons (7G) told us: “I enjoy everything at Hadleigh High School. At first I was nervous but I got used to finding my way around. I have made some new friends and my confidence has improved over the weeks.” Chloe Regan (7D) told us: “I’ve enjoyed making new friends and meeting new people throughout the school. I was very nervous about my first day but once I had my first lesson the nerves went. The hardest thing about coming up to Hadleigh High School was finding my way around but now I’ve settled in, it’s fine.” Joves and Jordan (7M) said: “We like the teachers and the things that we learn. We enjoy meeting new people, but we aren’t sure about the length of the lessons; it will be something new to get used to.” Overall, the Year 7’s have told us that they enjoy their time at Hadleigh High School and that they are looking forward to the years ahead. RoboCup Junior Competition What is RoboCup? RoboCup is an international robotics competition established in order to challenge hardware and software developers around the world. The aim is that by 2050, it should be possible to produce a team of football playing robots that can take on and beat the world cup winning football team. CoSpace is part of RoboCup junior, the league for school-aged teams. Andrew Halls, 10O, said “We programmed robots and it was challenging and competitive!” Liam Hodgkinson, 10M, said: “I felt inspired to make robots.” Naomi Alleston, 10T, said “It was a fulfilling experience and very interesting!” The group of ten went to the BT in Martlesham and competed in the competition, overall the day was enriching and a good experience. They have learnt skills, ranging from communication to teamwork. Languages week Monday 22nd September saw the start of languages week. The Year 11 Languages Prefects went into assembly to inform the Year 7s about Languages Week. The week involves different activities and competitions regarding different languages around the world. The competition is to redesign the European flag.

Last month I mentioned our pony Holly. After many years of service to The Centre she is to be retired. Sue Freeman, herself a long time helper, has for many years been Holly’s able bodied rider and given her a holiday home. What could be better for Holly than to spend her retirement years being looked after and being ridden by someone who knows her so well in the familiar paddocks at Sue’s home. Before our new term began in September the call went out for help with the annual clean in preparation for the beginning of The Centre’s year. As with all extra tasks and events, there is never a shortage of willing volunteers. The Meeting Room and Quiet Room, where all the assessments are made and Ebony resides, received a thorough clean, notice boards reorganised with relevant literature, tack and special equipment for lessons checked and stables dusted and cleaned. The splendid team of maintenance men, and women, have completed tasks including levelling the Arena and weeding the drive. Di Godfrey does a wonderful job organising the Sales Table in the Meeting Room. She always manages to have new ideas and sources interesting things to sell. This month it’s scarves, many of which will have been donated. By the time you read this the Sponsored Ride will have taken place and we will be eagerly looking forward to the Race Night on October 18th, with a Fish and Chip Supper, at Nayland Village Hall. Not too late to get tickets to join in the fun just ring Di on 01473 658552. It is good to welcome back our regular riders for this new term of riding therapy, and hopefully we will be able to accommodate a few new faces as well. Can you help us to achieve this by becoming a Volunteer helper? It would involve about 2 hours a week during school term times, with training provided. We would be delighted to hear from you so do telephone or arrange a visit to find out how you could help. Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473 824172

Towards the Deep End September was a busy month (it often is for Virgoans). We have the consultation on Children’s Centre services. So far more than 360 people have had their say on the future of children's centres in Suffolk. The consultation will end on 16 October and if you wish to take part please click on to the County’s web site for details. You can also email: ChildrensCentre.feedback@suffolk.gov.uk with your views on this important matter. The informal consultation on ways forward for Benton Street closed on the 14th September. I have received a number of interesting responses – over thirty residents took the trouble to let me know their opinions and give me their suggestions.

Phew! Mr Micheal Perry the Product Development Manager of Thompson & Morgan Seeds, was the bare footed, hundred m.p.h. speaker, at the September meeting. He told us all about their seed production and development of new varieties and especially stressed the importance of material sent in to them by the general public, pointing out that "sports" do turn up from time to time and how valuable these are in the production of new colour ranges and/or leaf and petal shape or size and yes, they do pay for this help. As a self confessed vegaholic, I was disappointed in his lack of interest in vegetables unless they were in odd colours. Fancy saying, "Broad beans are broad beans and they all taste the same don't they?" I would personally dispute that and I'm sure that as one person prefers one type of flower over another, so vegetable growers detect subtle differences within varieties and have their own preferences. As a keen cook I am afraid I cannot get excited about the strange obsession with deep purple/black vegetables, flowers or fruit. As it is an acknowledged fact that we eat with our eyes as well as our taste, these odd colours don't make sense to me, how about you? I have been trialling seeds and plants for Gardening Which for many years so black tomatoes turned up years ago and, o.k. they tasted like tomatoes but looked frankly revolting whether cooked or raw! This is of course a purely personal opinion so I'm sorry if it sounds negative but I'd rather have my Mange Tout green rather than purple. Out next talk is "The Exotic Garden, Norwich" by Mr Will Giles on Monday 13th October and the competition is a specimen rose. Hope to see you there. Ruth Allen 822323
Is your organisation ‘Disabled – Friendly’? We are often told that our population is ageing and now we ‘baby boomers’ are of retirement age, are those with disabilities and age-related problems really being catered for? A disability of any kind can leave a person feeling excluded when they can’t quite heat or can’t quite see what is going on; can’t stand for long or can’t even access the event. It should be necessary for groups, clubs, societies, in fact all organisations, to think ‘disabled’ when setting up their meetings. Is the venue accessible to people with walking aids. Even a very short flight of steps can render anywhere inaccessible to someone with a walking stick. Many organisations will have former members who have dropped out because they can’t get in the building but that should not be the case. Is the room arranged so that those people with partial hearing or partial vision can know what is going on and take part? There is no use being stuck at the back where even the best speakers cannot throw their voices or the best of visual aids make no difference to reduced vision, so leave front row seats for those who really need them. Are the toilets accessible? Is there room to take a walking aid into the cubicle and, if the toilet seat is low, is there a small support rail and not just the looroll holder to grab hold of? For nearly thirty years, I took a very active part in local society but when arthritis got the better of me, I had to resign as I was no longer able to gain access the meetings. I did enquire whether a more convenient venue was being contemplated but was told that was not on the books. I have now joined a similar society with a very different attitude. I receive a warm welcome to every meeting, where a seat has been reserved for me. When refreshments are served, they are brought to me (perhaps they don’t want me spilling coffee on the floor). One kind lady whispered that, if necessary, she would stand guard at the unlocked toilet door in case I needed assistance. So, with just a bit of thought on the part of organisers, it is possible to be ‘disabled-friendly’. It may even boost your membership! Sue Andrews

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts I am just back from a holiday in Meran in Northern Italy. Before I went away I picked some of my apples including Lord Lambourne, Tom Putt. and Forge, all interesting British varieties with distinctive flavours which I am looking forward to eating. In Britain a lot of orchards of similar varieties have been grubbed up so it is important to preserve such varieties in our gardens so that we can continue to enjoy them. In the Meran region you can see why we have lost our orchards, Every bit of land that is not growing grapes is growing apples. There are acres and acres of apples all grown intensively as vertical cordons with whole fields of a single variety. They are picking at the moment. The roads are full of tractors with trailers carrying a dozen boxes of apples weighing in total I guess about 6 tons. So please think about keeping our British varieties going by planting a tree or two of apples that you like in your garden. There are still nurseries offering a good range. I have bought from Deacons at Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, or as another idea why not visit the big apple festival at the National Collection site at Brogdale near Faversham Kent on October 18/19. If that is a bit far Crown Nursery High Street Ufford also have an Apple Day on October 18. Open Gardens 12th October East Bergholt Place East Bergholt CO7 6UP Weather Records In August at Kersey there was 77 mm (3") of rain, which is about 50% more than our average monthly rainfall. The 3 monthly total at the end of August was 191.2 mm (7.5") which is about 1.5" higher than the average. In August the maximum temperature was 25 Cel (77F) which equals the lowest since 2000, and the minimum temperature was 7 Cel (45F) which is lower than average. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 14 Cel (57F), which is typical for mid September. Hints By the end of October we may well have had the first frost, so it is time to think about getting any half hardy plants that you want to keep for next year under cover. It is also a good time to remove dead bedding plants, and have a tidy up. If you have put shading on your greenhouse for the Summer it should now be removed. Have a critical look at your garden and think how you could make it more interesting in October. There are not too many plants that flower at this time. Ones that do include heathers (calluna), some hebe and caryopteris. One can also get colour from berries, and Autumn foliage. Dahlias can be left until they have been cut down by the first frost. It is a good idea to check labels whilst they are still in flower. It is wise to at least have rooted cuttings of any other half hardy perennials which you grow. October is the month to finish planting bulbs for a Spring display. It is also a very good time for planting trees, shrubs and perennials. The soil is warm enough that new roots will be made to anchor the plants, and ensure a good start when the weather warms up in Spring. Happy Gardening, John Rye

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed during the meeting of 27 August 2014 were: • Public Forum- Issues raised at the Public Forum included: - Concern about the proposal to extend the car park at the Marquis of Cornwallis, which would be very visible despite the planned planting, which could take many years to grow. However, it was confirmed that the owner wanted to start planting as soon as possible, with a mixture of mature and decorative trees. - Dog fouling – in particular, people who do pick up after their dogs, but then leave the bags hanging on fences etc! - National Pollinator Strategy (see below). People interested in this could purchase Solitary Bee Nesting boxes for their gardens. - Parishioners wished to formally thank the Chairman for his hard work on the War Memorial project and for his presentation in the Village Hall on 4 August about the stories behind the names on the War Memorial. • Babergh District Council report - Councillor Wigglesworth reported that a new initiative was under way – Priority Based Resourcing Project (PBR) – to identify key priorities. With regard to waste collection, she said Babergh was keen to encourage people to make more effort to recycle. • Damage cause by the burnt-out van on Brett Green - The Clerk had received a response from Babergh to say the damage to the verge was minor and should recover naturally. The damage to the pavement fell under the remit of Suffolk CC, who had erected a barrier around the damage and had the matter in hand; she would liaise with SCC. • Defibrillators - A proposal would be submitted to the September meeting. • Speeding - The Clerk would try to obtain information on accident statistics in the Benton Street / Upper Layham area and liaise with SCC over the possibility of the 30mph speed limit being extended. • Path across Playing Field - The PC had obtained some costings; the Chairman would discuss this with the Playing Field at their next meeting in September. • Environmental matters - JC had written to Babergh concerning various horticultural and fencing maintenance issues, including renewal of the fence between Brett Green and Mill Lane; these had all been logged onto Babergh’s enquiry system and would be dealt with individually. She had also written to Anglian Water concerning maintenance of the screening around the sewerage pumping station in Mill Lane, and had received a response saying this would be dealt with; she had also highlighted the frequency of bursts on the road near Dixie Cottage/Middle Orchard and had received a response to say AW would review the situation. A letter had also been sent to Flagship concerning the shared area around the houses in Gardener’s Close, but to date had not received a response. Cllr Wigglesworth said she would ask one of Babergh’s Housing Officers to contact Flagship. • Planning: Marquis of Cornwallis - The detailed plans were considered and councillors were pleased to note that they recognised environmental best practice with regard to heating etc. However, some concern was expressed about the visibility of the car park, which was essentially situated in countryside, outside the village envelope (see also Public Forum, above). Considerable new planting of mature trees was planned, but it was noted that some of these would be decorative; the general feeling was that the majority should be natural British species more in keeping with an area of designated countryside. There was also some concern about the speed limit on the main road; it was noted that the proposed splay did meet requirements, but members said they would like to see the 30mph speed limit extended in the interests of safety. • Provision of leisure football pitches in Hadleigh - It was agreed that the Clerk should write to Hadleigh Town Council to express concern that there was currently no netted goal for casual use in Hadleigh, which meant the Layham Playing Field was an attraction for boys from Hadleigh, resulting in excessive wear on the grass, damage to the goal net, litter and dominance of the area preventing local children from using the pitch. • National Pollinator Strategy - It was agreed that the Chairman should invite Charles Clover, an environmental journalist living in Nayland) to a future PC meeting (see also Public Forum, above). • Remembrance Sunday - The PC had invited nine people to attend the service on 9 November and lay a wreath, all of whom were related to men remembered on the War Memorial. A workshop to produce artwork to be displayed in the church on Remembrance Day would take place on Sunday 2 November, for up to 24 children (parents would accompany children under 11). On the evening of Saturday 1 November the film ‘War Horse’ would be 46

Boy Scouts in Layham - From the Layham Archive Eleven years ago, Pam Walker, who was then our Local History Recorder, published a piece in Letter from Layham, about the Boy Scout movement in Layham. At that time nobody offered any further information. An account book has come to light in the effects of Jill Pierrpoint’s father, Mr Tom Groves, that tells us more about the formation of the first troop. As can be seen from the cover of the book, it was called 1st Layham Troop B.P. Boy Scouts. B.P. were the initials of Robert Baden-Powell who founded the movement in 1908. Inside the book is a newspaper cutting that informs us that the troop was formed on 7 December 1916 by Scoutmaster Richard Bennett, after being invalided home from France, where he was serving in the First World War. Richard Bennett lived in Pear Tree Cottage on Upper Street. The troop met in ‘The Kraal’ in Upper Layham. ‘The Kraal’ was, according to the reminiscences of Jim Frisby, a large shed in which Mr Roger Beaumont had carried on a business as a carpenter and undertaker, almost opposite the cottage part of the Marquis of Cornwallis. Census details of 1911 suggest that this shed may have been somewhere between the Red House and the first cottage after the Red House, where Mr and Mrs Beaumont lived. The members of the newly formed scout troop filled-in the saw pit in the shed and converted the building into a meeting place. The account book lists the following boys paying a penny a week as subscriptions from January 1917: T.Groves; R.Smith; C.Groves; R.Groves; J.Frisby; C.Garrod; C.Cutts; H.Garrod. By September J.Dunningham appears in the book. In a separate list of members of Stag Patrol dated from April 1917 C. Groves is shown as being Patrol Leader and J.Frisby as his deputy (known as ‘Second’). Other members of the patrol were: J.Bore; E.Ratcliffe; R.Smith; R.Thomson; A.Buckston and P.J.Wooley. It seems that at least 15 boys were members of the troop in that year. We have a photograph, from the collection of Jim Frisby, of Charlie Groves (Patrol Leader) and his twin brother Russell, both in the list above. Their father was licensee at the Queen’s Head in 1917. If anyone can give any further information about the Layham Scout Troop, please contact Michael Woods on 01473 823798.

Layham Playgroup WOW!!! Our children have certainly settled back in to the Layham playgroup routine really well. We have made lots of use of our story sacks as all of the children have enjoyed reading together. ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ and ‘Owl babies’ certainly became a hit with our children and they all joined in the story together. We have also been making the most of this lovely warm weather and playing in the garden. The children especially love helping to water the flowers. We are looking forward to celebrating harvest together and beginning to do some cooking and baking activities. Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh. Government funding is available for 3 year olds and in certain cases for some 2 year olds. If you are looking to creatively occupy your 2 – 4yr old and would like an information pack or would like to arrange a visit, please contact us on 07999 866419 or email us at admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk. Our Toddler group takes place every Wednesday morning 9.30 - 11.00am and is open to all children aged 0-5 years. Parents are free to enjoy a hot drink (or cold) and a biscuit while their little ones let off steam joining in a variety of activities. Children also get to enjoy a small snack and cold drink in the morning. We hold a cake sale every first Wednesday of the month.

Success for HCPS at the Suffolk Sports Awards 2014 We were delighted to have been nominated for the School of Sporting Excellence and Participation Award at this year’s Suffolk Sports Awards and were even more thrilled when a panel selected us to be one of the three finalists along with Otley Primary School and Laureate Community Primary School. Therefore, last Friday (12th September), Mr Jackson, Mr Peters, last year’s sports apprentices, a selection of governors including our chair of governors Mr Smyth and Florence Grist, an ex-pupil, attended the awards ceremony. This was a huge celebration of sport! There were eleven different categories of award and the one we were nominated for recognised the extracurricular opportunities given to children along with our community links, our annual Sports Day, competitive sport within school and the opportunities children have to compete with other schools both locally and nationally. We are delighted to announce that we won! We believe that the award does not just reflect last year’s achievements, but all of the developments in sport at the school during the last ten years. Our commitment to training of sports leaders is continually developing and is providing job opportunities for young people. We now have two sports apprentices – Grace Knock studying NVQ level 2 in Activity Leadership and Jordan Robinson studying NVQ level 3 in Assisting School Sport. Ben Daniels, one of last year’s apprentices, has continued his employment at the school and is now developing his classroom support role. This ensures that sport is always a high profile subject at the school. Mr Peters, our sports coach commented: “We believe that sporting and other extra-curricular activities at the school like music, are the heartbeat of the school and allow the child to develop into the rounded individual.”
New music room Before the summer holiday, we informed you about the building work taking place at the school, erecting a mobile classroom for children’s music lessons. In fact, this has become a multi- use room, being used for gym trail in the morning as well as music clubs and lessons. Mrs Broadbent is delighted with her new accommodation and it is proving to be a real asset to the school. A huge ‘thank you’ to local charities The school would like to recognise and thank the three charities (The Annie Tranmer Charitable Trust, The Hadleigh Thrift Shop and The Ann Beaumont Charity) who generously donated funds for the school to purchase an adapted chair for one of our pupils with a disability. The total cost of the chair was around £1300 which otherwise would have had to come from school funds. Therefore, indirectly, all pupils benefitted from the generosity. This chair will make an enormous difference to the child’s ability to take part in every aspect of school life.

1 OBITUARY: PETER CASTLE, founder member and Past President of the Club celebrated his 95th birthday on August 3rd but sadly passed away soon afterwards on August 24th.Peter had been a Rotarian for many years before he helped to found the Hadleigh Club in 1978. Since then he has been a staunch member often regaling members with tales of his schooldays and youthful travels in Europe during 1920/30's. He spoke with authority on many subjects from steam engines (a passion of his) to trout tickling. His business PDN Castle Engineering traded from Lady Lane Industrial Estate for many years and Peter served as President of the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce for a number of years as well as being Chairman of the Hadleigh Quoits League amongst his various leisure pursuits. He was a real ale supporter and very appropriately a bottle of his favourite brew ,'Old Hooky', accompanied him on his last journey. 2 The July BBQ at the Queen’s Head, Lower Layham was a resounding success with 56 people enjoying good weather, good food and good fellowship. A combination of ticket money, tombola and raffle raised some £400 enabling the Club to donate £200 to the main beneficiary, Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding, as well as retaining funds in the Benevolent Account for future use. Grateful thanks go to Steve, Associate member and mine host at the Queen, his wife Tanith and family for all the hard work in providing the venue, food and drink. Also many thanks to David Pratt for printing tickets, John English for providing parking at his farm and Travel Stop for advertising and selling tickets. 3 Earlier this year the Club raised £180 for the Rotary fire alarm scheme to provide alarms for deserving local homes. The cheque was presented to the Hadleigh Fire Service at a recent ceremomy which was reported more fully in last month's issue. SPEAKERS: 1 Geoffrey Fradgley, one of 90 volunteers at Flatford Mill, explained the role of the National Trust there. The Mill and surrounding land was donated to the Trust in 1943 and soon after the buildings were leased to the Field Study Group in order to provide some income - it remains in situ today.However many things have changed over the years with the Trust first taking over the teashop and more recently the car park both of which were privately owned previously. He feels that, even though 250,000 visitors are seen every year, the Trust could do more to improve income towards the massive upkeep costs. 2 Peter Finchof the Hadleigh Community Choir outlined its beginnings and progress so far. There are now 70 members and more are being sought. An agreement was reached for a Rotary charity concert in October 2015. 3 Barry Chaplin, Associate member, recounted the highlights of his recent Baltic Cruise calling at such places as Copenhagen, Stockholm, St Peterburg and Tallinn. MEMBERSHIP: With the recent death of Peter, club numbers are down to 12 plus 2 Associate Members. Associate Membership is an ideal way of trying out Rotary without the full commitment and the scheme has been extended to 3 years at £10 per annum. Ladies and Gentlemen your local Club needs you if it is to survive! Please give serious thought to helping otherwise it may follow the the fate of the Lions Club and Round Table. You may contact David Stokes 01473 827226 or via Rotary Club of Hadleigh website.
Come in for coīee any Tuesday morning from 10am — 11am We would love to see you! We are a Fairtrade church.

Latest from Home-Start South Suffolk & District Phew, what a busy few months we have had and finally we are now able to share our wonderful news; we won the Lottery, well in fact we have been awarded a three year lottery grant for our joint work with Home-Start Mid Suffolk to deliver our Stepping Stones project, pushing further into West Suffolk, where currently there is a desperate need for our support. The grant came to a staggering £343,492, so for all of you who but a ticket each week, thank you, it really does get spent on worthwhile causes close to home. Whilst news of the lottery is great, we still have our day job, supporting families in the South Suffolk area. In August following a bequest, we were able to take a coach full of families from Gt Cornard, Sudbury, Hadleigh and Ipswich, along to Jimmy’s farm to spend the day enjoying and exploring every part of the farm, from the forest to the Hobbit House, the Butterfly House and some pond dipping. It was an opportunity for some children to do some fishing, den building, stoke a reindeer’s velvety antlers and play in the sand. Some of our fantastic volunteers gave up their day to accompany the families they support for which all the staff are so grateful. It was a wonderful day, well organised, with even the Beeston’s bus driver being pleasantly surprised at not having to wait for anyone, all were at the bus stops on time eager to get going. The drive home was quieter with many small people falling asleep, dreaming of turkeys, alpacas, cows, guinea pigs……. Special thanks must go to Jimmy’s farm who were so accommodating, ensuring all had a great day! We recently had even more good news, we have been shortlisted for the Lloyds Bank Community Fund 2014 in the Ipswich community. By encouraging the public to vote Home-Start South Suffolk & District has a chance to be awarded a grant of up to £3,000 from Lloyds Bank to enable it to continue doing good work in our community. Following on from the success of this years’ outing, with £3000 we could ensure a family outing for the next two years along with Christmas parties for the families could take place. This year we could only afford to take a 53 seater coach which was oversubscribed, it would be lovely to be able to pay for a double decker enabling us to take yet more families. We operate three family groups in various parts of South Suffolk, £3,000 would pay for additional play equipment and materials to help prepare the children who attend get ready for the step to ‘big school’ or nursery. £3,000 would help to pay for two more new volunteer preparation courses. As we continue to move into different areas and the demand for our support within our core area grows, the need to recruit more volunteers is essential. Our volunteers visit families at home each week, supporting parents in situations as diverse as isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness, disability or who are just finding parenting a struggle. They provide non-judgemental practical and emotional support and help build the family’s confidence and ability to cope. £3,000 would ensure this service would continue in your area! The Lloyds Bank Community Fund was set up to help local people across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man to have a positive impact at the heart of their community by giving grants to up to 1,400 local good causes in 350 communities. There are four good causes shortlisted in each community and Lloyds Bank is inviting everyone to vote for the cause they’d most like to support. Members of the public can vote for their preferred community group on-line, by SMS or twitter, or in a branch of Lloyds bank from 2nd September to 10th October 2014. The branches able to take our nominations are Cornhill North, Cornhill South and Bramford Road, Ipswich. The local good cause that receives most votes in each community will receive an award of £3,000, with other groups receiving £2,000, £1,000 or £500 depending on the votes received. You can find out more about the Community Fund and Home-Start South Suffolk & District and cast your vote by visiting the Lloyds Bank Community Fund website at www.lloydsbank.com/communityfund.Don’t forget to vote by Friday 10th October. If you would like more information about Home-Start South Suffolk & District, or would like to become a volunteer, please contact, Sarah Mann, Scheme Leader, on 01473 822822 or email sarah@homestartsouthsuffolk.co.uk or visit www.homestartsouthsuffolk.co.uk

The annual Ladies Singles tournament took place on Sunday 31st August. The event was well subscribed by players and supporters alike, with a ‘round robin’ tournament involving all entrants leading to a Grand Final between the top two scorers. The Final was keenly contested between Katy Osborne and defending champion Sandy Claireaux in an exciting match in challenging conditions. It was Sandy who ultimately emerged the winner, commenting: “Katy is a great competitor and very fit. I was lucky to squeak through in the end.” Congratulations to Sandy and Katy for producing a fine spectacle. Sandy was presented with the Challenge Trophy by Club Chairman Geoff Scott. Sandy will captain the ladies first team during the forthcoming Winter League season having gained promotion to Division 3 last year.
Emma Conquers Seedling Challenge When four-year-old Emma Barry put a conker in a water filled jam jar she had no idea she would be admiring it as a tree many years later. Not only is the tree now 20 years old, but also the nine-hole extension to Newton Green Golf Club where the conker sapling was eventually planted. As an infant pupil at St Joseph’s Primary School, Sudbury, Emma took part in a 1994 class exercise to see if horse chestnut conkers would produce roots when placed in a jar. When seed sprang into life, she took it to her family home in Great Waldingfield, where it was eventually transplanted to a pot, and thrived sufficiently for her father John to offer it to the golf club where he was a member. Emma, now a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, has continued to keep an eye on the tree’s progress by the 10th tee, although she has not yet joined her father as a golfer. Emma said: “It was a total coincidence the conker was brought to life as a green shoot in the same year the golf course was extended, but the course seemed to be the right place to plant it as a sapling eight years later. “Although I do not play golf, I occasionally visit the course and make sure the tree is continuing to progress.” Club chairman, Peter Phillpott, commented: “Our extra nine holes are now a wonderful feature of the club, and it is nice that an infant class initiative all those years ago has helped contribute to the blossoming of the course.”

Newton Green on fire in Hambro Final
Whatfield Carpet Bowls Club Whatfield Carpet Bowls Club held a September Fayre in the Village Hall. We had a great time and raised an amazing £450 which will be shared between the Bowls Club and Suffolk Family Carers. Many, many thanks to all the Club members who worked so hard; to all the people who made donations of money and things to sell and, of course, to all the lovely people who came and spent their money at the Fayre.

Newton Green powered their way to victory in the final of the Suffolk Hambro Cup against Ipswich at Woodbridge. It may have taken 42 years to regain the county club team handicap competition since their last success, but Newton put their name back on the trophy in style. Leading by a narrow four holes after the morning foursomes, they turned up the heat to win by 17 holes in the afternoon, including an astonishing 10-hole victory as their final pair put the icing on the cake and underlined Newton’s superiority. With their women and juniors already having put trophies on the shelf in its recent rise up the Suffolk golf ladder, the club needed their men to come to the party. Last year they fell at the last fence as they narrowly missed winning the county Stenson team scratch final. Reaching the Hambro handicap final gave them a second chance to nail their colours to the mast, and they duly obliged with a 21-hole blitz against an Ipswich side able to draw from a selection of 60 players with handicaps of five or below. Under the team captaincy of nonplaying Ian Woodhead, who nurtured many of the young players now helping make the club a powerful force, Newton underlined they have the talent production line capable of further success. The victory was achieved with three juniors in the squad, and there are more waiting in the wings for future years. However, it was the experienced pairing of Mark Duthie and Simon Bearman who once again put points on the board in both the morning and afternoon rounds to consolidate the team performance. They were four up in the morning and three more after the afternoon round. The afternoon proceedings had been given the ideal start as the first pairing of Russell Oakey and Harvey Watts registered a four-hole win. Ryan and Connor Talbot crossed the line all square. The Duthie-Bearman double act shut the door, and by the time Greg Hills and Jed Seeley completed the 10hole demolition of their opponents the party had already begun. Suffolk Golf Union vice president Phil Platter handed Newton the cup. Morning: Russell Oakey and Harvey Watts all square with Daniel Hedges and Andrew Munrow, Ryan and Bob Talbot two down to James Tyler and Gregor Tait, Mark Duthie and Simon Bearman four up to Mark Thomas and Simon Godbold, Greg Hills and Connor Talbot two up to Jordan Nelli and Graham Wardley. Afternoon: Oakey and Watts four up to Hedges and Manro, Ryan and Connor Talbot all square with Thomas and Godbold, Duthie and Bearman three up to Tyler and Tate, Hills and Jed Seeley 10 up to Nelli and Wardley. Newton 21, Ipswich 0.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk After a narrow win against Sawbridgeworth in the opening round of the F.A Cup, Hadleigh were on the road to Burnham Ramblers in the next round for a match against a team who play at a higher level. This game turned out to be easier than expected as Hadleigh won comfortably by three goals to one. Scott Chaplin scored twice while Liam Scopes was also on target. We also missed a penalty kick in the closing stages. The next round provided another trip to Essex to meet Billericy who play teo levels higher than Hadleigh. This time the opposition was too strong and we were beaten by four clear goals. Billericy scored twice in the opening ten minutes and once the second goal had gone in it was obvious that there would be no giant killing act this season. League matches provided some good entertainment with Hadleigh on top of the league after the opening five weeks of the season. But they only hold a slender lead against their nearest rivals. The Reserves are playing in a higher division this season and they lost narrowly against Halstead before a great performance to beat Lowestoft with a goal by Luke Simpson being enough to secure the points. The Reserves are under new management this season after Liam Britton stood down after his team won the championship last season. Our Thurlow Nunn Youth team lost narrowly at Stanway in the opening league match before going down by three goals to one against Clacton in the next game. The F.A Youth Cup saw our youth team travelling to Mildenhall but there was no progress for Hadleigh as we went down by four goals to two. The Thurlow Nunn Youth team play their matches in midweek usually on a Wednesday or Thursday night. Why not come along and give them a look. Hadleigh United Fixtures Hadleigh United first team fixtures for October begin on Saturday 4th at Gorleston. On Saturday 11th Kirkley are at the Millfield before Brantham are entertained in the Suffolk Premier Cup on Tuesday 14th. On Saturday 18th we go to Newmarket before the month ends with Godmanchester at the Millfield on Saturday 25th. The Reserves will be at home to Whitton on Saturday 4th before travelling to Felixstowe on Saturday 11th. An away match at Woodbridge follows on Saturday 18th before another away fixture at Halstead on Saturday 25th. Our Thurlow Nunn youth team begin October at Halstead on Thursday 2nd before Cornard on Wednesday 8th will provide at difficult game at the Millfield. On Wednesday 15th we entertain Witham or Clacton in a cup match before travelling to Brightlingsea on Thursday 23rd. A home game against Woodbridge in the Suffolk Cup ends the month on Wednesday 29th. Supporters are reminded that any alterations will be posted on the club website.
