The Rosa Simon Music Fund now stands at about £5000 Named after our 3.5 year-old daughter who died in a tragic accident in June, the Fund aims to buy new instruments for the schools, playgroups, churches and registered child minders in the Hadleigh area, reflecting Rosa’s love of music and dancing. Thank you ever so much to the very many individuals and organisations who have so generously given to this Fund, including those fantastic people at the Hadleigh Thrift Shop who gave £500 and the Hadleigh Community Choir who donated £300! The photograph shows Rosa’s big sister Millie and father Paul receiving the cheque from Josie Read, treasurer of the Community Choir. We are trying to find out what the local demand is for specific instruments and will be sending out a questionnaire to as many schools, playgroups, churches and registered child minders as possible – as well as inviting them to a brief meeting in the early autumn – to find out what is needed. We will then be in a position to start buying the instruments! Anyone wishing to contribute to the Fund is very welcome to do so. Cheques can be made out to and sent to: Hadleigh United Reformed Church. Paul Simon & Family

Hadleigh Rotary Club enters partnership to deliver free smoke alarms Hadleigh Rotary Club has entered a partnership to supply Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) with smoke alarms that will be fitted in to the homes of vulnerable people within their communities. Today saw the delivery of the first batch of smoke alarms to the fire service for properties within the Hadleigh area. SFRS will fit these smoke alarms, as part of their Safer Home Visit programme, which allows officers to target the most vulnerable people in the community and assess the risks of fire within their homes. Advice is given on fire safety in the home which includes developing an evacuation plan in the event of an emergency. Each smoke alarm is fitted free of charge and last for 10 years. A sensory alarm is also available for those with hearing or sight impairment. Councillor Colin Spence, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for public protection, said: “The best way to save a life is to prevent a fire in the first place and through our Safer Home Visit programme we aim to ensure that the people of Suffolk are safe within their homes by provide home assessments, I would like to thank Hadleigh Rotary Club for their valuable donation and look forward to working with them and other Rotary clubs in Suffolk in the future”. The scheme is co-ordinated by Stowmarket Gipping Valley Rotary Club who will coordinate donations from other Suffolk Rotary Clubs. The donated smoke alarms will then be fitted into homes where there is no alarm present within a club’s area Terry Wiles of Hadleigh Rotary Club, said: “As well as promoting international projects aimed at relieving disease, hunger, unclean water and poor education, Rotary Clubs help with local community needs, supporting schools and youth projects, as well as the elderly, disabled or disadvantaged. The Rotary Club of Hadleigh is very pleased that our financial contribution to Stow market Gipping Valley Rotary Club’s smoke alarm appeal will enable the purchase of smoke alarms for deserving households within Hadleigh”. Peter Andrew from Stowmarket Gipping Valley Rotary Club, said: “Stowmarket Gipping Valley Rotary Club is very pleased to be working in partnership with the fire service. Haleigh Rotary Club is one of the first in Suffolk to make a contribution to this scheme and as the project grows and develops, it is envisaged that more Rotary Clubs in Suffolk and beyond will join this worthwhile and valuable project” For more information on this partnership and the SFRS Safer Home Visit programme contact Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service on 01473 260588

Howard with Teresa at the Saracens Head You will remember that I do like to make a visit to the Norfolk Broads at some time during the Summer months. Frank pulled up at the boat yard of H E Hipperson (Tel. 01787 379036) at Gillingham Dam in Beccles. There was much excitement as my mother and I alighted and a trolley was brought round for cold boxes, picnic hampers, leather holdalls, mooring stakes, mallets and cleft sticks. We were taken to our day boat. Frank doesn’t sail well and so he stayed with the car and the boat was “self-drive” for us. We meandered past reeds and courting couples, herons and water voles and tied up for our coffee. We enjoyed our lunch in a quiet cove on the way to Oulton Broad. We chugged back into the boat yard as the clock struck five and Frank had the motor car running so that we could purr back through the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Let me tell you about the Saracens Head at Newton Green Sudbury CO10 0QJ (Tel. 01787 379036) where the proprietor is Teresa and I enjoy dinner from time to time. Teresa has a varied menu at reasonable prices and an ample frontage. Teresa’s father is renowned for his marrows which Teresa serves stuffed with mince beef and covered with cheese along with mixed vegetables and new potatoes. That is an item on the £6 menu. The dressed Cromer crab with salads from the salad bar has been a favourite of mine over these warmer days. Why not give Teresa a call – tell her that I sent you. I know that you were all delighted to have news of Frank and Maria. I made mention of Frank’s plums which have now dropped off and were sliced on top of my breakfast. Maria tells me that she is looking forward to lifting Frank’s King Edwards. Banks will not lend on a property that has been owned by the Seller for less than six months. These are rules that stem from the Money Laundering Regulations. One would not be able to mortgage a property that had been owned for less than six months. There will also be problems for a buyer in a sub-sale who is unlikely to be able to obtain a mortgage. There are so many issues that could arise in a conveyancing transaction and fortunately my 29 years of experience keeps us on the straight and narrow. I regularly tell you about the advantages of having a Will and indeed a Lasting Power of Attorney and please do not hesitate to discuss those matters with us. Howard Gibbons

Spring Savings! BWT WS355 STANDARD or BWT WS355 HI-FLOW WATER SOFTENER and FREE COMMISSIONING by a BWT Engineer worth £90.00
I read recently about a group of men who went hunting near Balmoral in Scotland. As they were walking one of the men twisted his ankle so badly that he couldn't go on, so he told the others to continue whilst he waited by the side of the road. As he was waiting a car slowed down and then stopped. The lady driving the car rolled her window down and asked if he was alright. He explained and said he was waiting for his friends to return. She said, “get in: I'll give you a lift to where you’re staying." He hobbled to the car only to discover that it was Queen Elizabeth! He felt honoured and so surprised that she would offer help to him. I have had the privilege of meeting the Queen when attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace. I felt honoured in being invited to her home and meeting someone like the Queen. How foolish it would have been of the hunter to refuse help from the Queen in a time of need. It would have been just as foolish of me to turn down the invitation to Buckingham Palace to the garden party. But we all have an invitation to come to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus offers help in times of need and also gives everyone the invitation of Salvation. We just need to believe and receive His forgiveness of our sins and He gives us eternal life. Jan Rogers

A unique tribute to the world’s longest serving golf professional has been unveiled in the form of a course starter’s shelter. Arthur Davey was professional at Newton Green Golf Club for 60 years, during which time he operated from a small shed near the first tee. The old wooden building is now rotting to pieces under a canopy of ivy, but members have clubbed together, and with aid of grant support, raised £5,000 to build a replica as a starter’s shelter. It was officially opened by club president Michael Oliver, whose late father and grandfather had been presidents during the Davey era, which ended in 1979. When he retired, Davey was made Peter Philpott, Jean Davey an honorary associate member of the and Michael Oliver Professional Golfers’ Association. He died, aged 97 in 1992, and is buried in the village church yard at Newton, which is three miles from the Suffolk market town of Sudbury. Among guests at the ceremony, introduced by club chairman Peter Philpott, was Jean Davey, the daughter-in-law of Arthur Davey. In addition to external signage replicating that previously on the old shed, the interior has been fitted with a display of clubs made by Davey, and a montage of pictures of his life at the club. Chairman Philpott said: “Five years ago we revived the name of Davey by naming a new pay and play membership after him. It has helped bring in a lot of members that might not previously thought about getting involved with a club. “The opening of the shelter is a natural progression of continuing to use Davey’s world record status as a significant marketing tool. The shelter is quite stunning and gives visitors a real eye-opener as they turn towards the club house. “We have taken advantage of the development to upgrade the area round our first tee, including laying luxury, soft surfacing to the pathway and surround of the shelter.”
Hadleigh Evening WI There was no meeting in August but members of Hadleigh Evening WI took the opportunity to enjoy each others company on the glorious summer days. For the more energetic there was a ramble along the river Brett in Hadleigh followed by afternoon tea at the home of Jean Madge where they were joined by more sedentary members. Several keen gardeners took a trip round Beth Chatto’s garden an opportunity to learn and stock up on plants and shrubs for their own gardens. Further afield members from WIs throughout the county filled 2 large coaches for a trip to Hampton Court the historic home of Royalty set in acres of grounds including gardens and a maze. In early September four Hadleigh Evening members will go to Culford where they will be joining other members from local WIs for an opportunity to try their hand at Archery. The next meeting will be on Tuesday 16th September 2014 in the Seminar suite above the Hadleigh library starting 7.30pm. Local dentist Dr G Singh will give a presentation about his own Indian wedding. Visitors and new members are welcome.

EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT
Towards the Deep End Streets Belong To The People, Roads Belong To Everyone - Benton Street For a number of years we have experienced increased traffic on Benton Street using the street as a throughway to and from the A12. The incidence of overweight vehicles seems to have abated with the installation of improved signage at Copdock and at the East Bergholt/Hadleigh turn off, but we are still experiencing goods vehicles and private cars using us as a convenient short cut for the surrounding villages. Worse, drivers seem to think that they can drive on the pavements without regard to the residents. A number of ideas have been circulating for some time. These include a bypass via Hook Lane, bollards/railings and a pinch point chicane/ priority traffic system. Suffolk’s Economy, Skills & Environment Department have suggested that we try a pilot programme of installing a priority traffic system between 50 and 60 Benton Street. The priority system would consist of pavement build-outs on each side of the road (see plan on my blog abwfh.com). This will ensure that drivers are aware that it is not possible to pass each other in this narrow section of Benton Street and formalise the requirement to give way to oncoming traffic. Additional parking restrictions would need to be introduced to allow queuing in advance of the build-outs and approximately seven parking spaces (including one advisory disabled bay, which is currently not being used) would be lost. However there would be facility to offset this loss by revoking some of the parking restrictions further along Benton Street. If these proposals are pursued, Suffolk County Council will introduce an experimental priority system, using temporary water filled barriers, for 6-12 months to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed treatment. If you feel that Benton Street should remain the same, please tell me (brian.riley@suffolk.gov.uk). Similarly if you want change, then please let me know which of the choices is most acceptable and if you have other ideas please share them with me. A larger version of the plan will be on display upstairs in the Library at 10 a.m. on Saturday 13th September when our informal consultation will end. The Hadleigh Steering Group will be considering the consultation on the future of Children’s Centre services on Monday 15th September at 2 p.m. in the Leisure Centre. The meeting is open to the public.

THE OBSERVER Hadleigh Town Council I note the out of hours medical facility at the Health Centre has been discussed by the Town Council, as reported in the July issue of the HCN detailing the May Town Council minutes. The implication was that the Council had some concern over out of hours access. On checking the May Council minutes it didn't amount to a can of beans. However it is interesting to note that the Health Centre per the B.M.A. is itself campaigning for changes to the current N.H.S. set up. I have arranged an interview with the Centre Manager Peter Larner on this, particularly relating to the out of hours service. Just fancy that! One of the banes in everone's life is surely the wood pigeon, greedy, destructive and an all round pest. A few weeks ago our garden became home to a pigeon of rare streamlined beauty and colour. Whilst he / she kept it's distance never the less it made itself very much at home. We could only conclude it was from a good home but totally lost. Enquiry of Kelvin Avis who seemingly knows everybody worth knowing, put us in touch with Kevin Sparkes. Mr. Sparkes was very busy getting his holiday organised for the next day but found time to call and give instruction on how to capture the visitor. We envisaged rugby tackles and grabbing at thin air but his advice made it simple and in no time at all the visitor was in a box for Kevin to collect later that day. Now Kevin is not a small man but to see how gently he took the pigeon and showed us a neatly stamped telephone number under it's right wing told us that here was an aficionado of the pigeon world. Kevin took the bird home, rang the owner to tell him his bird was safe and he could collect it when Kevin returned from holiday. The bird and it's owner were duly reunited and made their way back to Lowestoft !! Pigeon racing is a mystery to many of us rather as is Angling, (arguably the largest participating pastime) but it seems both activities have a code of conduct that many others could well follow. Centenary Lights Out The R.B.L. organised and led service at the Town War Memorial was attended by some two hundred town folk who gathered to pay their respects to those who never returned from the 1914 / 18 conflict. Those that are buried in Hadleigh Cemetary who did return never recovered from the awful effects of wounds and poison gas, each one dying a slow and agonising end. Perhaps a service there one day would not be out of place. A very British evening In this edition you will find details of an evening of celebration and remembrance for both world wars. Do come along and support this musical evening of British bull dog spirit in the face of extreme adversity. All proceeds to The Poppy Fund, details on page 29. The Observer

The Boule-in’s Autumn Fruits… Cathy Bullen, proprietor of Bildeston’s stylish French store The Boule-in, is not concerned by the lack of fruit on her quince tree “I planted it last autumn to celebrate our first ‘Fete du Coing’ Exhibition” she says “and although it would have been nice to have some fruit from it this year the tree looks healthy and has given the garden great structure.” Cathy really doesn’t need to worry as her charming garden is already full of structure – obelisks, plant supports and French garden urns sit happily beside rustic buckets and enormous vintage watering-cans. The ‘fruits’ of her latest trip to Provence have been very bountiful – “we’ve had a fantastic time sourcing new stock for this year’s ‘Fete du Coing’ Exhibition (Saturday 20th until Sunday 28th September): It is always such fun as you never know what you will find when you set off! We’ve been really lucky and have found some wonderful and unusual pieces for both the house and garden – some lovely textiles, glassware and furniture. We’ve also had fun driving our large new van which has allowed us to bring back some much larger pieces of stock – and of course we took the opportunity to join in the ‘Fete du Coing’ celebrations back in our old village where the quince trees were heavy with fruit! The Boule-in autumn exhibition ‘Fete du Coing’ runs from Saturday 20th until Sunday 28th September 10am – 5pm daily. www.boule-in.co.uk

We will travel by bus leaving Hadleigh Bus Station at 9.30am. (Car Park side). We will walk from Claydon to Hadleigh via Little Blakenham, Bramford, Flowton, Hintlesham, Aldham, and on to Hadleigh arriving back at about 3.00pm. This walk is 10 Miles in length, and is suitable for most walkers and older children. Your dog is welcome to join us, but must be under close control when passing livestock.

Further details about this walk or the other activities may be obtained from David Warner (Hadleighs Footpath Warden) on 07749 732941, or E-mail nottinghamvictoria@supanet.com Please note the change of dates for November, and December Walks. The new dates are as follows November 15th and December 13th.
Sunshine Glorious Sunshine Summer is here and living in the East of the country we are so lucky with the weather especially at this time of year. What a fantastic summer it has been so far and those of you who have installed solar PV will be seeing a daily generation of around 20kWh per day which means you are probably getting all your electricity free. If you are also using an ‘Immersun’ device to heat your water, then you are probably using little or no oil or gas either. This is very good news as you are now contributing to the efforts to reduce carbon and clean up the environment while at the same time reducing your own energy bills. As if that is not enough, you are also benefiting from the very generous Feed in Tariff which goes some way to help the system pay for itself. I use the term ‘generous’ to describe the Feed in Tariff because I do not know of anything else that financially rewards you for buying it in the first place, generous indeed. For those of you who have not yet installed PV but are curious, the next time you sit in your garden enjoying the sun, have a look at your roof. If it is also enjoying the sun then it could work for you. For a free, no obligation quotation give Mark at Energy on Tap Limited a call on 07780 975787 / 01473 810089.

Fidelis Activity News Celebrations & Coco Chanel:- Ten years ago, several enterprising ladies and their friends gathered together in the URC rooms for the very first Fidelis meeting. Last month a considerably larger group met in the Dining Room to celebrate the Club’s success with a glass of bubbly and a piece of 10th anniversary cake. Once the formal toast was over, the speaker, Paula Short, gave an engaging talk about the life and loves of Coco Chanel. Although this fashion icon had such a colourful life and successful career it was not without sadness and disappointments. Several illustrations of this world famous lady complimented a fascinating and well-researched topic. Our thanks to Helen of Angel Delights for the delicious cake with the Club logo. Lunch Bunch:- The Country Kitchen at Assington Barns was the chosen venue for the most recent Fidelis Lunch Bunch outing. Members enjoyed a variety of freshly prepared meals from their light lunch menu followed by delicious homemade desserts. After a relaxed lunch there was plenty of time for some retail Founders and early members of Fidelis therapy in several of the celebrating the 10th year of the group small businesses within the Barn complex. These include a farm shop, a gift shop, a holistic centre, a small furniture outlet and a garden centre. Sadly, the weather put paid to a visit to the extensive gardens, complete with an outside terrace and some unusual livestock. They had to be viewed from the comfort and protection of the tea room.

I may be a hard working business woman having built up a successful company from scratch, but first and fore most I am an animal lover and I happen to have the best job in the world! Having worked in various veterinary practices and the R.S.P.C.A I now spend my days doing what I love best, putting my experiences to good use and having lots of fun along the way. From helping alpacas give birth to looking after week old tortoises no bigger than a 50p piece. From looking after pigs and flocks of sheep to an ex police dog with nose bleeds. I have walked so many different breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to St. Bernard's and everything in between. I have looked after boisterous ten week old pups and lovely old girls in their twilight years. I have walked ferrets (yes ferrets) and injected diabetic cats, chased chickens who did not want to go to bed and brought cats down from trees. So is there any wonder why I love my job. So if you need your pet ( whatever the species) looked after for a few hours or weeks, then give me a call and I will do my very best to help.

1st September 2014 is Asbestos Awareness Day, drawing attention to this life threatening substance. Indeed, it is estimated 2016 will see a peak of diagnoses of illnesses as a result of exposure to asbestos. As a widely used material in many walks of life, Asbestos has created health hazards for many people. Those engaged in the construction industry in years gone by. Those engaged in the demolition industry in more recent times. Those engaged in the repair of buildings and vehicles. Numerous ways of being exposed to the potential health risk. Generally the effects become more obvious later in life. Symptoms can appear up to 30-40 years after exposure to asbestos and affect a person’s lungs, causing changes in breathing patterns. And at a time when any form of incapacity is even more worrying. The government has recognised the impact of the historic exposure and consequent illness by introducing a new scheme to compensate those suffering. Until recently, the common avenue open to victims of asbestos related illness for financial support was through the courts. The organisation responsible for the exposure of a workforce to asbestos usually had an insurance policy. Claims for financial support after being diagnosed with an asbestos related illness usually ended up being met by the insurance company. A process involving lawyers on both sides. Such ways of making a claim still exist. Claims for financial help when disabled by asbestos are still managed by lawyers and settlements agreed with insurance companies. In many cases to the satisfaction of all concerned. And so it should be given the rising costs of health care and the need to ensure the individual and any dependents are adequately provided for. But what if the former employer or their insurer cannot be traced?Not uncommon given most uncontrolled exposure to asbestos happed decades ago. The employers and their insurers may no longer exist.So how to reach help? This is where the government scheme steps in.The Mesothelioma Act 2014 has introduced a streamlined route to achieving financial support. To qualify, the diagnosis of mesothelioma must have happened on or after 25 July 2012, there must be no traceable former employer or their insurer and the amount claimable will be linked to the age of the person claiming. The sum awarded will include money towards legal fees. This sounds simple.However, every case will be different and taking legal advice is essential. To help you determine whether or not you have a claim, under the new scheme or the more long established way, call local lawyer James Davies at Gotelee Solicitors on 01473 298125. A specialist in Asbestos related matters, James will be happy to discuss your concerns at no cost to you.

What’s in a name: From Cock Meadow to Cox’s Park? Even though the incorrect name of ‘Cox’s Park’ was given for the venue, everyone knew where to go for the recent ‘picnic in the park’ as this piece of ground on the south side of George Street has been the location for many events over the years. Travelling circuses and tented missions have pitched up here to entertain and inform in their various ways, while the area has seen community activities such as sports and Sunday-School treats. It has also acted as the assembly point for carnival processions and other parades.

The current open space is made up of three pieces of land with their individual ownership being traced back in the historical record as far as 1613, 1636 and 1639 respectively. 1, 3½ acres (1.4 hectares) of arable called Home Field, which formerly belonged to No 28 George Street. 2, 1½ acres (0.6 hectares) of meadow that was originally part of East House Estate. 3, 3¼ acres (1.3 hectares) called Cock Meadow, which was not attached to any particular property. For many years, the whole area has been known as Cock Filed or ‘Cocksies’, as reported by A. Whiting in Hadleigh Community News (August 2014). The name comes from a description dated 1796 of the most easterly piece as ‘a parcel of land or meadow ground lying near the sign of the Cock Inn in George Street’. For a while in the mid-years of the 19th century, Cock Meadow was known as Foundry Field, when iron-founder William Derrick was working here. Bringing the story up-to-date, T.W. Wilson & Company Ltd, owners of East House since 1863, bought real estate to the west and south in 1888 and to the east in 1893 and so incorporated Home Field and Cock Meadow into East House estate. In 1920, West Suffolk County Council purchased from Wilson & Company and five years later sold, not to Dr Arthur Style but to his wife Clare Style. She sold East House and it’s lands in 1963 to Hadleigh Urban District Council. St Mary’s Church of England Primary School was opened in 1968 with access via the newly-created Stonehouse Road, which runs across the northern end of ‘Cocksies’, and in 1971, Hadleigh Swimming Pool was erected on a central part of the area. At local government re-organisation in 1974, Babergh District Council took on ownership of this open space. When the name of this valuable community area is eventually settled upon, perhaps Babergh will erect a sign board so that there is no doubt in the future. Sue Andrews

Is something upsetting you? We all think of our food as something which should nourish our bodies. But have you stopped to consider that your food may actually be working against you. Approximately 5% of people have food allergies or an immediate allergic reaction to something they regularly eat. However, it is estimated that more than 40% have a delayed reaction which occurs hours or days after a food is consumed. It is this delay which makes it difficult to determine which foods actually cause problems or even if a particular problem is definitely caused by food. Often, food related problems which could be relieved quite simply are left undiagnosed and go on to cause much more serious health problems. Have you stopped to consider that the following conditions could be caused by something you are eating? • Frequent upset stomach • Bloating • Skin problem • Depression and anxiety • High blood pressure • Regular headaches or migraines • Difficulties in maintaining a healthy weight • Chronic fatigue • Fibromyalgia So what to do? The simplest way to find out what may be upsetting you is to contact me at Bespoke Nutrition, where I can determine the most appropriate test for you, identify the offending foods and work on a personalised eating plan which will eliminate them from your diet.

On his return to England he subsequently relocated and commenced his practice in Ipswich, and has since enjoyed a long association with many clients within the local area and far beyond.

Double graduation for Hadleigh optometrists Derek Dunstone has been serving the community as an optometrist in Queen Street for the last 23 years. Michael Giles (fellow optometrist) and Derek have just been joined in the Practice by Pre-registration optometrist Holly Coleman. Derek and Holly shared the same graduation at Aston University on the 23rd July 2014 and had a thoroughly enjoyable day with friends, family and colleagues. Holly graduated with a 2:1 degree in Optometry; a qualification Derek achieved exactly 30 years ago! On this occasion however Derek was awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry having successfully completed a programme of research and post-graduate learning over the last five and a half years. The research investigated the accuracy and use by UK and international optometrists of different types of retinoscopes (an instrument used to measure eye focusing). Aspects of the research has been published and the abstract (and full thesis of 30,000 words if anyone is interested!) is available from the D J Dunstone Practice website www.dunstoneinsight.com Please contact the Practice on 01473 823755 or via the website for an eye examination appointment

On the evening of Friday August 1st August we held our leaving party for the children, Hosts and Supporters at the Cedars hotel in Stowmarket. The children performed a concert for which they had been practising hard and then went on to enjoy a disco especially geared towards them. Everyone who attended had a great time and Sunday 3rd August saw the return to Belarus of the 18 children who had been staying with families in the local areas for the last four weeks. Although a few tears were shed at departure the children were soon cheerfully looking forward to being reunited with their families once more and sharing the many happy memories they take with them. Not only must we thank our Host families for their work in this project but also the many people who support us throughout the year, raising funds to enable us to bring the children and providing sponsored outings and events for them whilst they are here, giving their time free of charge, providing valuable dental and optical services free of charge, collecting clothing, donating medicines to take home and many other items which all benefit either these children or those at home in Belarus. Unfortunately the children still suffer with the same terrible dental problems caused by their poor diet and living conditions, this year saw a total of 51 extractions and 42 fillings within the group and all carried out on the same day! This is the worst we have ever experienced. Our special thanks must go to Beestons Coaches of Hadleigh who gave the children the most fantastic day out in London atop a double decker coach complete with toilet and DVD player! This was a real trip of a lifetime for the children who generally regard London as the Capital of the world and will also be a great aid to them during their English lessons as London is a topic that is covered extensively. There are many other supporters whom I have never met but who continue to help us in the background year on year, it seems like only yesterday we started this group but it has now been seven years with over 150 children having been brought to the Mid Suffolk area for recuperation health breaks. So many local people have contributed to our cause and supported us in many ways with donations and gifts for the children and via our Charity Shop. It is not possible to mention everyone here but without you the children would not have had the wonderful time they have had, this is appreciated more than you will know. We are especially pleased to report that three of the children have now received Sponsorship from local people through our Family Support Program. These children have been chosen by their Hosts Families or others who have met them during their visit and will receive a sum of money each month to help them. The Sponsors have the reassurance that they know exactly who the money is going to and we will assist in giving progress reports each time we visit the area. With many thanks as always to all of you, Elizabeth Parker, Link Chair 01449 760343, 07771 550868 www.ccllmidsuffolk.org.uk

I am working in partnership with Babergh District Council’s Economic Development team to assist local businesses that would like to benefit from the free service offered by the Growth Hub. The New Anglia Growth Hub provides a free, local support and signposting service to any growing business in Suffolk and Norfolk. I am delighted that with support from Government’s Regional Growth Fund, New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership and Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, we are now able to offer you individual support to grow your business or access to help if you’re thinking of starting a business.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You I wanted to write this message to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated money, took part in the quiz, bought raffle tickets, and joined in with a couple of competitions, and to everyone who turned up on the night to show their support for myself and my Auntie Lynne (Bill’s wife) as we strived to raise as much as possible for the Woolverstone Wish charity. It was gobsmacking to see so many people turn up, and to see how much money was raised was absolutely overwhelming. In total, £1,164 was raised for the charity, which I am thrilled about as I didn’t expect (in all my wildest dreams) to reach £1000! I also need to say a special thanks to everybody who donated prizes for the raffle as without these donations, we certainly would not have raised as much as we did. This event was a chance for me to do something to allow us all to honour the memory of a man who was not just an uncle, a godfather, a brother, a son, a husband or a friend, but an inspiration to many. The way he fought his illness until it got the better of him was admirable, and he should be remembered for being a truly brave human being. Like everyone else that knew him, he is sorely missed and is in our thoughts every day. Thank you again for all the support received and for coming along, it was an unbelievable night! Mark Hammond

Kersey Mill Newsletter After a beautiful summer the harvest draws to an end for another year, it’s interesting looking back at how in times gone by harvest would have been such a very busy time for so many people, perhaps we take food production a little bit for granted today. When the mill was in full production back in the mid 1800’s farming and food production was a major occupation for many, labour intensive and very hard work. The mill being a hive of activity and would have had a major part to play in producing fine flour. The millers wife would have made the bread from the freshly ground flour. To the rear of the Mill House is the “Bake House” which still has the original Dutch bread oven. Faggots of sticks would have been lit and left to burn, the ashes raked out and the bread would have been baked in the red hot brick oven. A lot of work was achieved using hand tools or horse driven implements and when it came to milling it was water or wind before the introduction of steam and engine power.

A census taken in 1871 lists the owner of Kersey Mill at the time as Benjamin Mason who farmed 280 acres and had 16 men and 2 boys working for him. Benjamin Mason died 18th May 1935 leaving an estate of £435. A local book titled “ Kersey Within Living Memory”. An Oral history compiled by Anne Maltby with an introduction by Ruby Ling is a fascinating insight into local life in and around the area over the years. Within this book there are many recollections of life, how it was in the early to late 1900’s, with many recalling their memories of life on the farm; Claude Munson recalls: “My father was second horseman at Trickers Farm, and the blacksmith was a-running then at the forge. The horsemen had to keep the horses going- even if it rained. The men would put corn sacks over their heads to keep some of the wet off and they’d just keep walking behind the horses, guiding the plough. But they loved it- it was a real skill that job. There are many recollections giving a taste of how life was and of how they just got on with it. There are many wonderful memories within this book and most certainly worth every penny, printed and available from Keith Avis Hadleigh. Another book with similar tales I recently read, written by George Ewert Evans, The Horse in the Furrow, again wonderful tales of life as it was, the author has written several books that recall life in the country in years gone by. If you find yourself in Stowmarket do visit the The Museum of East Anglian Life, it is a Museum that specialises in presenting the agricultural history of East Anglia through a mixture of exhibits and living history demonstrations, along with many other attractions recordings made by George Ewart Evens can be heard. It’s also home to Alton Water Mill. This was built in the 19th Century and originally situated in Holbrook. It was dismantled and rebuilt at the Museum in 1973 and is now a working museum piece. Farming and milling was a very hard, dirty and at times, a dangerous occupation, we previously recalled the tale of a tragic accident that occurred at the mill in c1845 - Reported in the Hadleigh Herald: SHOCKING ACCIDENT A melancholy and distressing accident occurred at Kersey Water Mill, near Hadleigh, on Wednesday morning last, which terminated fatally. A youth named Leech, 14 years of age, had only the previous Monday entered the service of Mr Mason, of the above mill as an apprentice, having previously been a considerable time in a wind mill. The poor boy was left alone in the mill, and is supposed to have been looking down at the great wheel in the pit, and overbalanced himself, and then fell between the cogs of the wheels. In consequence of the machinery having stopped, Mr Mason looked about to ascertain the cause, and found the poor boy between the wheels, with his heels uppermost. When taken out, the thumb of one hand was discovered to have been torn off, and the knuckles at the wrist lay bare: what state the body was in we could not ascertain, as an inquest had not been held when this report was written: death, however, was, doubtless, instantaneous. Restoration work continues at the mill. With a fresh coat of white paint to the rear and side, we are currently working on repairing and repainting the windows. We recently had the pleasure of Suffolk Mills garden party, sadly the weather was not kind. There was laughter and joy on hearing tales, stories and anecdotes recalled on the day. If you are interested in getting involved or just attending some of the Suffolk Mills Group adventures then doing so is easy and cheap with annual subscription at only £10.
Interest Free Credit Option Now Available As we discussed in last month’s edition, many people we speak to are experiencing high levels of cold calls offering them ‘Free Solar’ which actually, when looked into, leads to an expensive installation being put up for them, and being paid for through a 10 year finance agreement with some leading high street banks. Not ‘Free Solar’ at all. At Greenscape Energy, we are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer an Interest Free Credit option to customers, in conjunction with TrinaSolar, over a 5 year period. This is already proving to be hugely popular with customers. With the finance packages offered by other companies, half of the Feed-in Tariff repayment period is spent paying for the system, including the very costly 10% APR on the agreement, meaning that they will only have 10 years of pure profit-making from their system. With the 5 year Interest Free Credit option that we offer, customers are paying back the loan from the very beginning, instead of simply paying off the interest on the finance. This also means that customers will have a full 15 years of profit-making, as the system is fully paid for in only half the time. Customer’s hard earned savings and capital can then be kept safe, whilst the ever-increasing Feed-in Tariff payments they receive, combined with the savings made on utility bills, can go towards covering the monthly repayments for the system. If you take into consideration that adding Solar PV to your home is likely to increase the value of your property, and already the cost of the system is being covered through various means.

“Young Restaurant Team of the Year” national award for Stoke by Nayland Hotel – and special dining treats offered to celebrate! Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf & Spa is delighted to announce that two of their young chefs and a waiter led by Executive Head Chef MCGB Alan Paton, have won the national award of Young Restaurant Team of the Year 2014. The competition is run prior to the Skills for Chefs conference, held in Sheffield for the last The Stoke by Nayland winning team receives seventeen years. Last their award year the Stoke by Nayland team came second and won the Best Menu Award, but this year took overall top spot and fought off some stiff competition which included last year’s winners. The winning team were Martin Lane and Jamie Mallett, both talented Chefs de Partie and Jack Butler who excelled as a star Waiter – all 21 years of age. The menu brief was to create a three course menu inspired by Eastern Mediterranean cuisine and “the spice route”. Part of the brief was also to include a reception drink, matching wines and hot beverages to finish. The sub cultures of these regions also had to be taken into account. This provided the team with a hefty task to take on, especially considering that they were working on all of this at the same time as fulfilling the daily requirements of their full time roles at Stoke by Nayland. The winning menu was : Grilled Red Mullet fillet, Almond Tarator, Beetroot Sugar, Kadaifi Apricots and Za’atar Cucumber; Cutlet and Loin of “Nedging Lamb”, Ras el Hanout Beluga Lentils, Garlic and Onion Seed Kebab, Lamb and Pomegranate Courgette Flower, Carrot and Cumin Puree and Lamb Fat Gravy; Dark Chocolate and Aleppo Pepper Dome, Orange Semifreddo, Yoghurt and Cardamom Cream, Pistachio Granola Their prize is a four day tour of Istanbul and time at MSA – The Culinary Academy of Istanbul. The judges of the competition are all highly respected chefs – Andrew Bennett MCGB, Executive Head Chef of The Sheraton Park Lane Hotel, Paul Gayler MBE MCGB recently Executive Head Chef of The Lanesborough Hotel, John McGeever MCGB Executive Chef, St Edmund Hall Oxford To celebrate their win, Stoke by Nayland Hotel is offering visitors two special dining experiences at excellent introductory rates. The hotel’s Lakes Restaurant has been awarded two AA Rosettes thanks to the outstanding skills of Executive Head Chef Alan Paton who specialises in modern British cuisine and is known for his amazingly unusual combinations of flavours and textures. Anyone interested in trying out his superb culinary treats can come and enjoy a delicious 2 course dinner at a special rate of just £18.95 (Mon – Fri nights inclusive until 31st October) – and the restaurant, which boasts some of the most stunning views in the region, now offers al fresco dining on the heated south terrace overlooking the lake and rolling Constable Country.

The story of how the Great War ‘Lights Out’ Ceremony 4 August 2014 On the evening of the 4th August 2014 a large crowd gathered at the town’s effected one family in Hadleigh memorial garden to commemorate the
The story of Ophir and Selina Jarvis is a sad one and it is typical of thousands of other families across the country. Ophir Alfred Jarvis was born in Hadleigh in 1880, at which time his father was the Innkeeper at the White Horse Inn on Stone Street. He was brought up in Hadleigh and in 1909 he married local girl Selina Austin. They set up home in Castle Road and went on to have two daughters - Evelyn born in 1912 and Margaret born in 1915. At the age of 35 and with a very young family, Ophir answered his country’s call and enlisted into the Army in Hadleigh on the 10th December 1915. By October of the following year he was sent to join the 7th Battalion East Kent Regiment (The Buffs) in France. The Buffs had suffered heavy losses during the opening day of the Battle of the Somme on the 1st July 1916. The Battle of the Somme raged on throughout the summer and into November. On the 18th, with snow lying on the ground, Ophir’s battalion was ordered to take an enemy trench. As they went over the top, the Battalion was confident of success. Runners going forward with the lead companies were ordered to return to the start line and report when the enemy trench had been captured. However, no runners returned. The only men who did make it back, were the wounded who reported that they had encountered very heavy rifle and machine gun fire. Between the 18-21 November 1916 Ophir’s battalion suffered 26 Killed, 80 wounded and 125 missing. A few days after this battle, Selina, Ophir’s wife received a letter from Charge Sister J Hardy, informed her that Ophir had been wounded in his right shoulder and both legs, and was a patient in Ward C of the Liverpool Merchants' Mobile Hospital in Etaples. The letter goes on to say that it was hoped he would soon be well enough to travel to England where she could see him. However, just over a week later she received another letter saying that his condition had suddenly become much worse and that he had died in his sleep on 30th November 1916. Following her husband’s death and in order to supplement her income, Selina obtained employment at a laundry situated in Tower Mill Lane. This meant that every morning she had to walk with her two young children from Castle Road to her mother’s home in Cran-worth Road, so that her mother could care for the children while she was at work. She then had to walk from Cranworth Road to Tower Mill Lane and having done her days work had to do the journey again in reverse. This, coupled with the fact that she found it a struggle to pay the rent on the house in Castle Road, led to the decision to give up her own home and move in with her parents.

100th anniversary of Britain’s entry into World War 1. The event organised by the local branch of the Royal British Legion coincided with similar events taking place all over the country. At 9 pm the Legion Standard Bearers took up position and the Branch Chairman gave an opening address. Three young majorettes from the Diamond Lights group, then lit a candle and placed it at the foot of the memorial. Everyone was then treated to the first of three amazing songs by teenager Tayla Djemal. David Olive and the Mayor, Sue Angland read two beautiful poems, ‘In Flanders Fields’ and ‘We will keep the faith’. The Branch Chairman told the sad story of Ophir and Selina Jarvis, Ophir Jarvis being one of the 112 names engraved on the war memorial. As darkness fell, the memorial which was lit by flood lights, provided the perfect setting for the Sea Scouts and Cubs to lay a wreath on behalf of the town. The end of the ceremony saw the traditional sounding of the ‘Last Post’ and Cadet Lewis Kempson of the Air Training Corps read out the exhortation. A moments silence was observed. The silence was broken by a blast of a great war trench whistle. The sound of such a whistle for many soldiers going over the top would have been the last thing they heard. The whistle blast also signalled the turning off of the flood lights and the formal end of the ceremony. Individuals then made their way into the memorial garden to lay their own personal tributes of flowers or candles at the memorial. In the crowd on this unique occasion was 99 year old Margaret Jarvis, the daughter of Ophir Jarvis, thought to be the last direct relative to anyone on the memorial. Although the ceremony was not rehearsed, it went very well. The lighting and sound and in particular the incredible voice of young Tayla Djemal made it a Margaret Jarvis at the very atmospheric and moving evening that was a Lights Out ceremony fine tribute to those who fell and to the great war wearing her fathers generation. medals
GREAT WAR NEWS FROM 1914 (as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day)
4 Sept - A Recruitment meeting was held in the town. Sir Joshua Rowley emphasised to a large meeting that the King and country needed their help and he knew that Hadleigh would give gladly of her best; proud to serve in the defence of their homes and their country. It was pointed out that of the nine nations engaged in war, England was the only one where service was not compulsory. Men were strongly urged to come forward. At the meeting 8 men gave their names – 4 from Hadleigh, 2 from Hintlesham, one from Wenham and one from Kersey. 15 Sept - Lecture in aid of the Hadleigh Territorial Fund held in the Guild Room. The speaker was Mrs Scratchley of Elmsett Rectory, who had been a tourist in Austria when war was declared and described the difficulties her party faced in traveling home through Germany; if the men were considered too old for active service they were generally allowed to travel. The purpose of the evening was explained by Phillip Wilson, chairman of the Hadleigh Urban District Council, and this was to assist in the supply of necessary equipment for the Territorials in foreign service. In particular this was to supply shirts and socks for the 123 Hadleigh men then forming C Company of the 5th Suffolks. A collection was taken at the door. 20 Sept - Second Lieut J Russell Gales, son of Major Ernest Gales of Raworth, Layham and serving in the 2nd Durham Light Infantry sustained a broken left arm and a bullet wound to his right eye and nose and was reported in the Austrian Military Hospital at Saint Nazaire, France. www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

Dear Sir Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
Dear Sir On behalf of the Hadleigh & District Branch of the Royal British Legion, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the people of Hadleigh who attended the ‘Lights Out’ commemoration at the war memorial on the evening of the 4th August to mark the 100th anniversary of Britain’s entry into WW1. The evening was a great success and a fitting tribute to the Hadleigh great war generation. As night fell, the flood lit memorial created its own special atmosphere and provided the perfect back drop. The ceremony was unrehearsed and the majority of those taking part, did not know they were taking part until they turned up, and so I was delighted that it went so well. I am particularly proud of the youngsters who took part and would like to thank; the Diamond Lights majorettes, the Scouts & Cubs and Lewis Kempson from the Air Training Corps who all did a fantastic job. A very special thank you goes to Tayla Djemal, this young lady who has the most stunning voice gave the occasion a very special feel when she sang three incredibly moving songs. I would like to thank Mayor Sue Angland and David Olive who read two beautiful poems, Barry Nutt for playing the ‘Last Post’, Lenny Davis and Frank Bryant the Legion Standard Bearers and behind the scenes, Joe and Sean Brennan who managed the lights and sound. Electricity came courtesy of some good neighbours, thank you Kieran and Jane Basham and the PA system was borrowed from The George, thanks Paul and Tori. The night was about remembrance and reflection, and so finally I would like to thank all those who came out, many of whom have relatives on the memorial, and shared this unique occasion with us. Knowing that so many people care about the past, gives me great hope for the future. We will remember them.

Dear Sir I have just read the Observer column of the July edition of Hadleigh Community News and am very angry at the review of the G&S Society. I have been to many of their concerts and always come away impressed at their talent and the varied content of these concerts. There is obviously going to be G&S songs as this is their passion and although I prefer the other medleys I appreciate the music and joy it brings to the choir. I am in my twenties, so one of the younger members of the audience but thoroughly enjoyed the Hadleigh concert and have heard others also remarking on the quality of the performance. Jo Towell
Dear Sir I am writing on behalf of the “Friends of St Mary’s Church Hadleigh” to thank all those people who attended the Gilbert & Sullivan Concert and the Hadleigh Open Gardens. The two activities raised just over £1600, which will be used towards payment for repairs to the roof, stonework and windows of St Mary’s Church. The upkeep of such a large and ancient structure is a never ending task and it is only with the help of the people of Hadleigh and the surrounding area we can hope to keep such a valuable resource of space and history for the use of the whole community. Your support and encouragement is really valued, and we hope that we all can in the future work together to keep St Mary’s building for generations to come. Millie Goulbourn
Dear Sir It was with great sadness that on the afternoon of Sunday the 10th August we learned that John Bloomfield had passed away. To say he will be missed is an understatement. We first met John on our arrival in Suffolk in 1989 at Hitcham. He arrived at our listed thatched cottage and immediately explained the history, evolution and importance of the cottage. We both stood back in amazement and realised in John there was a man who knew his stuff. It was throughout my professional life as Conservation Officer at Babergh and as Director of SPS that I really appreciated John's skills and knowledge and had the pleasure of working alongside him. What John did not know about Hadleigh was not worth knowing. Along with the Town Council and Hadleigh Society they formed a formidable team looking after and protecting Hadleigh. But he also was a man of great personality, enthusiasm and humour. John loved Hadleigh and that came across in all he did and talked about. John would turn up to talk over an issue which we did along with a large helping of Jane s cakes and tea. We feel privileged to have known him. Hadleigh will be a lesser town without him as will building conservation and the Hadleigh Society. Richard and Jane Ward, Cornwall

The proposed closure of Brett River Children's Centre and merger with the the children's centre in East Bergholt was discussed at our Parish Council meeting in Lower Layham. Whilst I can understand the need to rationalise this service throughout the county by seeking new venues that offer better value for money, I fail to see any advantage to parents in Hadleigh having to travel to East Bergholt. I would suggest a better venue would be perhaps the now half empty offices at Babergh District Council.It has good parking, direct access to council services,a canteen and near by playground.

Holiday Excess..?
Picked up a little excess baggage this summer?
So the holidays are over, August Bank Holiday has been & gone and the children are back at school..!!! It’s scary how quickly time flies & before you know it we’ll be thinking about Christmas and getting into your party dress.....!!! We all love our summer holidays but they can do a lot of damage to our waistlines – especially the all-inclusive ones - and when we look at the holiday photos we resolve never to do that again! But, we often throw caution to the wind on holiday and it gets harder to deal with the result each time. Did you come back lily-white because you wore your sarong on the beach while everyone else was enjoying the sun..? If so, maybe now’s the time to deal with the holiday indulgence before we hide ourselves in our winter woollies and pretend we’re happy with the way we look! It takes time to make changes permanently but it can be done. With a bit of perseverance, the right diet plan and personal 1-2-1 support from your own Independent Consultant, Cambridge Weight Plan can help you achieve your goals.

Luxury Chocolate Ice Cream This recipe is oh so easy but produces great results time and again. It can be made in advance of a special occasion and with the weather as good as it has been this summer, there is nothing quite like homemade ice-cream. The amount of chocolate and the type you use depends on how chocolaty you like your chocolate. I was very by Sarah Thompson lucky (and very excited) to be able to buy a vast quantity of rose and violet creams locally at a knock down price on the grounds that they had bloomed ie. turned a lighter colour owing to the sun. Result! As far as I was concerned the chocolate was just going to be melted down to create a luxury flavour for the ice-cream. You can vary the flavour of chocolate to determine the outcome. Use bars of chocolate, or your favourite filled chocolates, or a combination. Ingredients 600 ml Double Cream (large carton) 200 – 250 gms chocolate (see recipe) Method In a large saucepan, melt the cream and the chocolate over a low heat and stir slowly with a wooden spoon. Do not overheat the cream. Providing you keep the mixture on a low heat, it will melt gently and you end up with a mixture that looks a bit like runny custard. Once the ingredients have melted, remove the pan from the heat. Whisk the mixture, either with an electric whisk or balloon whisk to create a really smooth texture. Pour mixture into an airtight container and allow it to cool. Place container in the freezer. Take the container out again every couple of hours and run it through with a fork. The more often you do this. the better the flavour, but to be honest, a couple of times will do the trick nicely. Remember to BASIL (Buy And Source It Locally) and share with family and friends come rain or shine
Recipe for Success
‘Wall of Death’ at the White Hart, Boxford Birthplace of the legendary ‘Wall of Death’ rider George ‘Tornado’ Smith, and burial place of his companion, the twelve stone lioness, Briton. The White Hart has had quite an extraordinary past; and it is from this historic hostelry that the story of a British eccentric begins, one might go so far as to call it the birthplace of extreme sports. Indeed, I cannot think of many sports today that could rival the extremity of stunt motorcyclists riding a 20 foot drum, at 90 degree angles with a lioness in tow! After stumbling upon the sport in a fairground, Smith brought the ‘Wall of Death’ to the site of the old Victorian brewery at The White Hart during the 1930’s, and set out to entertain the locals of Boxford with his daredevil stunts. This September, The White Hart welcomes the stunt motorcyclists of the Wall of Death back to the site of their historic beginnings and devilish predecessor. The weekend of the 26th September will be one for the books, with outrageous stunts, great food, activities for the kids and live music to boot. Whilst in times gone by The White Hart has been somewhat of a magnet for talent and eccentricity, in its more recent history we might say that the apple has not fallen too far from the tree. This unassuming village pub has been a hub of activity over the last decade, and home to many a talented musician. In fact there is a running joke amongst the locals that the staff of ‘The Hart’ have to boast some extracurricular talent in order to qualify for a job. Currently exhibiting artwork by their extremely talented head waitress, Michelle Wood, and hosting open mic events once a month, with larger music festivals in the summer, all of which are organised and headlined by bar manager, and musician Nic Keeble. ‘The Hart’ truly does take talent to another level with spades of ambition and drive simmering just beneath the woodwork of this charming and unheralded local inn. Nic Keeble, in association with The White Hart presents 'The Granary Sessions'. The recently renamed open mic event which takes place every first Sunday of the month gets its namesake from the old granary towards the back of the pub, original practice space to local band 'This Boy Wonders'; who gained success at reading and leads festival with BBC radio one Introducing. Sadly the band has dispersed and the members have moved on in different directions, however, the old granary with its musical heritage has been an inspiration to current events within the pub. The Granary Sessions relaunches on Sunday 3rd August from 8:30 - 11pm, welcoming musicians of all abilities. The Hart's open mic evening boasts entertainment, charm and a friendly atmosphere. This is a relaxed night which is as much about individual performances as it is about everyone getting stuck in together. In fact, some of the best evenings have come about when musicians who met for the first time on the night have mucked in together with a bit of improv. Hosted by Nic Keeble, our talented resident musician who jumps at the chance to accompany anyone on guitar; The Granary Sessions opens its doors to you....show us what you're made of!

Dear readers, Welcome to the latest news from the Station. It may not have escaped the many drivers amongst you that car tax rules change from 1st October 2014. The paper car tax disc is being abolished by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) after nearly one hundred years of use. This will mean that when you purchase your vehicle excise licence after 1st October you will no longer be sent a tax disc, and the paper tax disc will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. To drive or keep a vehicle on the road you will still need to get vehicle tax and DVLA will still send you a renewal reminder when your vehicle tax is due to expire. This applies to all types of vehicles including those that are exempt from payment of vehicle tax. Another important change relates to when you buy or sell a vehicle. When you buy a vehicle, the vehicle tax will no longer be transferred with the vehicle. You will need to get new vehicle tax before you can use the vehicle. If you sell a vehicle after 1 October and you have notified DVLA, you will automatically get a refund for any full calendar months left on the vehicle tax. From 1 October 2014 (5 October if setting up at a Post Office), Direct Debit will be offered as an additional way to pay for vehicle tax. This will be available for customers who need to tax their vehicle from 1 November 2014: • annually • 6 monthly • monthly (12 months tax paid for on a monthly basis) Provided an MOT remains valid, the payments will continue automatically until you tell DVLA to stop taking them or you cancel the Direct Debit with your bank. The Direct Debit will be cancelled and payments automatically stopped when you tell DVLA that you no longer have the vehicle, or the vehicle has been taken off the road and a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) has been made. Please refer to https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vehicle-taxchanges for more info. Reported crime and anti-social behaviour remains low in Hadleigh, and we continue to work hard to maintain the peaceful levels that we have experienced this year. If you do have any information relating to community issues, or you have been a victim of crime, please do contact us as every extra piece of information can help us determine the bigger picture. You can visit us at the Police Station in Magdalen Road on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons between 1pm and 3pm, phone on 101, or email me at matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk. You can also follow us on Twitter @BaberghPolice. Hadleigh High School hosts our next priority setting meeting on Wednesday 17th September from 7.30pm, so feel free to join us. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley

Residents and many relatives participated in preparing the gardens for the big day. Relatives made all the cakes, residents went strawberry picking, staff created savoury bites and animal shaped jellies. The weather was just perfect for a cream tea with all the trimmings. Staff dressed as waiters and waitresses serving old fashioned lemonade, ginger beer and dandelion and burdock to quench their thirst. Over £200 was raised on the day with a raffle.

News from St Mary’s Primary School The academic year is finally over and what a busy year it has been! The children worked hard throughout the year and we are very proud of all they have achieved! Exciting learning opportunities continued right up to the end of term. In order to stimulate creative, imaginative writing, children throughout the school participated in English and drama workshops with author, Anne Stairmand. The Year 4 pupils participated recently in a languages experience at Hadleigh High School. Year 6 children enjoyed developing their leadership skills while supporting younger pupils with their computing curriculum. Using special Lego resources, the children are able to build models, which can then be programmed to move using computer software. This is a fun way to learn how to devise computer programs and control devices as well as a great way to improve social and team skills! We were all greatly entertained by the Key Stage 2 production. There were fantastic acting and dancing skills on display and the songs will be stuck in our heads for a long time to come! The children produced sketches and shows reflecting their recent topic work. For example, Beech and Rowan classes presented fascinating facts about Roman history and their battles; Chestnut class put on a brand new interpretation of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ after studying Shakespeare and his plays; and Willow class created sketches about British history during the 20th century. The Year 6 pupils wrote their own scripts, creating their scenes from scratch, which we were all impressed with! There were lots of funny moments! Thank you to all the children for their hard work and to all the staff members, volunteers and parents who contributed to another successful St Mary’s production! For the Year 6 children, it is time to say goodbye as they move on to the next stage in their education. They have been an excellent, hard-working class this year, setting a good example to other children in the school. Not only did they achieve well in their national SATs tests, but they also were a super group for embracing all the other aspects of the curriculum and extra opportunities to broaden their horizons, such as various school trips. During the last few days, the Year 6 children enjoyed a fun barbeque with their parents and other guests. They also presented all their favourite memories of St Mary’s in a leavers’ assembly. Some of their memories stretched back to their time in Nursery! At the assembly, we also presented awards to our Head Boy and Head Girl and their deputies. This year, the Rebecca Phillips award for achievement was shared between two boys who made absolutely phenomenal progress this year, far exceeding national expectations. Well done to all the children for their efforts and achievements. We wish all our leavers good luck in their new schools and hope that they will be successful, building on the foundations set at St Mary’s. The whole school attended a leavers’ service at St Mary’s Church in the last week of term. The Year 6 pupils wrote very thoughtful prayers for the service. Thank you to Reverend David Atkins and Pastor Chris Todd for their contributions. Pastor Chris emphasised the positive values the children learn at St Mary’s School that they will take away with them when moving on. We hope all in the Hadleigh community enjoy a lovely summer and look forward to seeing everyone again in September! Finally, we wish all the best to Miss Cotten, who is getting married during the summer holiday!

HADLEIGH TOWN COUNCIL Minutes of the Meeting of the Council held on the 17th July 2014 Present: Councillors: Angland (Town Mayor), Byrne, Grutchfield, Haylock, Lazenby, Matthews, M. Munson, Janas, Sheldrick and Whiting. In attendance: PC. Matt Paisley (Suffolk Constabulary), Councillor Grandon (Babergh District Council). None attendee – Councillor Welsh APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Councillors: Amin and Free; Cook and L. Munson. These apologies were accepted. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Council held on the 12th June 2014 were confirmed and signed. MATTERS ARISING At this point the meeting was adjourned in order that the Clerk could ask the Police a question raised by a resident on when the intercom system at Hadleigh Police Station would be repaired and available for use. PC Paisley advised that he did not know when the intercom system would be working again as three engineers had already failed to repair the system but would raise the matter once again with Headquarters. POLICING PC Matt Paisley presented the Police Report for June and it was noted that 17 crimes had been recorded during the month. The offences comprised as follows: 4 burglaries; 4 thefts; 2 criminal damage; 1 common assault; 1 dangerous dog causing injury; 1 cause harassment alarm distress; 1 interfere with witness/juror with intent to obstruct; 1 pass counterfeit note/coin as genuine; 1 attempted burglary and 1 attempted theft. Of these 1 had been detected. He brought to Council’s attention that there was to be another catalytic converter marking this weekend at Crockatt Road Garage. There had been a small increase in the number of Road Traffic collisions in the area recently and he was working with Suffolk County Council to ascertain whether road conditions or signage could have a factor and found that in some instances these areas do need improving. Work with Suffolk County Council is also being carried out on road markings in Hadleigh as some do not meet the legal requirement and this hinders the Police in issuing parking tickets etc. Inspector Paul Crick had now left Babergh District where he had worked for the past eight years. Inspector Danny Cooper takes office on Monday 21st July. He answered questions on Suffolk County Council removing all road signs once road works are completed as they cause confusion to drivers when some are left after the work is complete; the local Speed Watch Volunteers not receiving feedback on their submitted results; guidelines on parking restrictions outside private properties and schools and burglaries in the town. Councillor Grutchfield congratulated the local Police on the work carried out with the Military Police in advising residents on crime reduction measures which have resulted in a reduction in crime on the housing by the Beaumont Primary School. REPORTS OF THE COUNTY AND DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Written reports had been received from Councillors M. Munson and Riley. Councillor Riley had tendered his apologies.

Councillor Matthews raised the fact that some road and street signs needed cleaning. Councillors were requested to provide specific details of such signage so that a list could be sent to Babergh District Council or Suffolk County Council as necessary. Councillor Grutchfield advised that he had been approached by several individuals with queries that he had dealt with and resolved. He again wished to encourage residents to report any crimes to the police. ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £19,316.70 be approved for payment PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 26th June 2014 were noted.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Councillors Lazenby and Whiting thanked Councillor Byrne for the document she had produced following Councillor Byrne’s and Whiting’s attendance at the Royal Town Planning Institute Conference. Councillor Byrne proposed that Hadleigh Town Council goes ahead with the production of a Neighbourhood Plan. This was seconded by Councillor Matthews. This was approved and voting was unanimous. The Clerk had produced a flow chart on how to progress the Neighbourhood Plan which was also approved. Councillor Angland requested that the order of the flow chart be changed so that the Public Engagement Survey was carried out before the application is made to Babergh District Council. As there appeared to be some disagreement about this the Clerk was asked by the Chair of the Planning Committee to obtain clarification from the District Council. Councillor Byrne then advised Councillors on the financial requirement for the production of a Neighbourhood Plan. It was agreed that an amount of £30,000 over a two year period would be set aside to fund the Plan. At the next Planning Committee meeting a Working Group will be set up to deal with the Neighbourhood Plan.

Let's Make Hadleigh Happy – Life Beyond Stress Dear all, I warmly invite you to Let's Make Hadleigh Happy – Life Beyond Stress a free talk and meditation session hosted by Isha Institute of Inner Sciences* at the Ansell Centre on Friday September 19th at 7:30pm. The talk will be on the topic of Inner Engineering: Technologies for Wellbeing, offering a perspective on how meditation can be an effective tool to maintain physical, emotional and mental stability, irrespective of external circumstances, allowing anyone to live with ease and joy, and to: • Cope with the hectic pace of modern life • Function better under stress • Attain higher levels of productivity This will be followed by a twenty minute meditation session: introducing powerful and practical tools from the ancient science of yoga and giving everyone a taste and experience of what meditation can bring to them. A free DVD will be offered to all participants to practice the meditation at home and share it with others. Looking forward to seeing you there! *Isha Institute of Inner Sciences, UK registered Charity 1116816, is the UK branch of Isha Foundation, a non-religious, not-for-profit, public service organisation. We are run entirely by volunteers who are motivated simply by the desire to share with others what has benefited us. For more information please see: www.ishafoundation.org Whatever your job, or take on life, meditation can be benficial. It increases stability and clarity, helping you to make good decisions and also to be effortlessly creative. For someone in chronic pain or with a lot of worries, meditation connects you with a part of yourself that is beyond pain and worries. It also helps us to transform ourselves in whichever way we wish - whether that is to give up smoking, eat more healthily or smile a lot more. For example, if you have been trying to eat more healthily, you may have noticed that, with however much good intention you plan your diet, sometimes you end up eating what you didn't really want to eat! I think we have all been there: you open a packet of biscuits to have one and the next thing you know they are nearly all gone! Meditation is fundamentally about bringing a space between you and your compulsions. So if the compulsion is to eat another biscuit, you have the space to decide whether it is something you really want to do or not. If you do want to, then you can go ahead and have another biscuit, but, if you don't, you put the biscuits back in the cupboard! In this way you can become master of your own life. For more information, or to let us know you are coming, please email: ishakriya-uk@ishafoundation.org.

Your Autumn Film Season has Arrived! Friday 12th September at 7.30 pm
The Grand Budapest Hotel (15) In case you may be wondering, this film is not a sequel to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel! The location is Budapest and the setting is between the two wars. The film recounts the adventures of Gustave, the concierge at this legendary Hungarian hotel, and his befriending of Zero Moustafe, the lobby boy. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless painting, together with the battle for an enormous family fortune, all against the back drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent. The star studded cast features Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, Tom Wilkinson and Bill Murray. It is classified as a comedy. The director, Wes Anderson, has created The Grand Budapest Hotel as a film confection - but with bite! Friday 26th September at 7.30 pm
PROMISED LAND (15) In complete contrast on 26th September is PROMISED LAND, one of the most topical films we have presented. The subject is fracking and comes at a time when this government is considering issuing licences for the exploration of gas by high-speed drilling using water and chemicals. PROMISED LAND is a drama and based on a story about a town that is dying and unable to survive on agriculture. Enter Matt Damon playing the role of company executive, Steve Butler, who has come to persuade the town of McKinley to lease their land to a natural gas corporation for gas exploration. At a public meeting the townsfolk decide to consider the proposal, but when a local resident mounts a campaign against the corporation’s development plans McKinley is left in turmoil and Butler faces the prospect that his company’s plans are in jeopardy. We hope you will be with us on 26th September to find out what happens! Cost for each film is £3.50 on the door. Please note that as both films are rated 15 no children can be admitted. Refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval!

SKy Watch Meteor Showers Does E.T really exist? When people realise what I do 9 out of 10 times the first question put to me is; "Do aliens exist"? . The answer is , in my opinion and the vast majority of scientists, YES! The difference is we know they haven't yet come to earth. There are no government "cover ups" , and NASA do not know more than they are letting on, you can trust me on this as I know people within the organisation, and worked on projects with some, so really," little green men" have not yet visited us. The image that accompanies the article is an artists impression of our home in the universe, the Milky Way. Our galaxy contains some 200-400 million stars and measures between 100,000 and 120,000 light years in diameter ...it's vast! But we are just one galaxy within the universe. The estimated number of galaxies in the viewable universe is 225 billion! Now, if each of these galaxies contains the same amount of stars, then the chances of life other than us existing is more or less certain. It would be foolish and arrogant for us to assume otherwise! For you to get perspective on the amount of stars in the universe, think of all the individual grains of sand on earth, and you can designate a single star to this individual grain. Currently the official search programme for extraterrestrial life consists of a 3 point plan; 1-Search for extrasolar planets around nearby stars. 2-Listening for radio signals that E.T may send and 3-Robotic exploration of our solar system. The robotic search has proved fruitless so far, the extrasolar planet count, as literally of today, stands at 1,814 planets around 1,129 planetary systems around the Milky Way. As for radio signals, the infamous "WOW"! signal was picked up by Jerry Ehman on August 15th,1977. This radio signall lasted for 72 seconds and was the length in time of a signal expected from an alien source.The signal was located coming from the constellation Sagittarius, near the star group Chi Sagittarii, which is located at a distance of 221 light years distant, this would mean that the original signal would have been sent in 1756! Through the vacuum of space radio waves travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) and so this would mean 1756 was the earth date. Now, this is pretty impressive stuff, even more so when we learn the technology needed to achieve this. The power needed to put this signal out equates to a 2.2 gigawatt transmitter (2,200.000KW) by a stark comparison, the most powerful transmitter on earth today is the Toldom which transmits at 2,500kw in long wave and the Bolshakovo transmitter that operates at 2500kw in medium wave. It would be fair to say that if the WOW! signal is genuine, then the life form sending it was very much more advanced than us. An equation was put forward by Frank Drake in 1961 and is used to demonstrate the actual amounts of alien civilisations that could exist within our galaxy, the equation is written thus; N=R*-fp-ne-fl-fi-fc.L. N is the number of civilisations with which radio communication may be possible. R* is the star formation within our galaxy each year, which is 1.fp is the fraction of stars with planets,0.2-0.5 (1/5 or 1/2 of all stars found have planets) ne, the number of planets, on average, around stars capable of developing life, this is 1. fl, this is the fraction of planets that could support life, this equals 1 (100% will develop intelligent life). fi, is the fraction of planets that actually go on to develop intelligent life, this is 1, or again 100%. fc, is the fraction of civilisations that develop technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space, 0.1-0.2 or 10 to 20 % will be able to communicate. L is the length of time which civilisations release detectable signals into space which is 1000100,000,000 years. Now inserting the minimum figures into this equation gives you an N value of 20, inserting maximum values gives an N value of 50,000,000! So you can see, there is a very strong chance of life within our galaxy. The other 225 billion galaxies must also be taken into account! Rest assured, aliens do exist, we just haven't encountered them.........YET! Until next month, clear skies! Please E-mail me with any questions, I would be happy to answer anything and to hear any feedback Neil Norman - neilnorman-72@hotmail.co.uk

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bone Health Awarenessâ&#x20AC;? Month Peake Fitness at Stoke by Nayland Hotel During September Peake Fitness is focusing on Bone Health Awareness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a chance for everyone to learn more about how to proactively maintain and improve their bone condition. Throughout the month Peake Fitness members can take advantage of tailor-made exercise programs specifically designed to improve your bone health. These will also include biometric analysis, postural assessment and diet plan to help tackle this important health topic. What affects bone health? The following are some influential factors: â&#x20AC;˘ The amount of calcium in your diet. A diet low in calcium contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures. â&#x20AC;˘ Physical activity. People who are physically inactive have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do their more active counterparts. â&#x20AC;˘ Tobacco and alcohol use. Research suggests that tobacco use contributes to weak bones. Similarly, regularly having more than two alcoholic drinks a day increases the risk of osteoporosis, possibly because alcohol can interfere with the body's ability to absorb calcium. â&#x20AC;˘ Gender, size and age. You are at greater risk of osteoporosis if you're a woman, because women have less bone tissue than do men. You are also at risk if you are extremely thin (with a body mass index of 19 or less) or have a small body frame because you may have less bone mass to draw from as you age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when your bones become thinner and weaker. â&#x20AC;˘ Race and family history. You are at greatest risk of osteoporosis if you are white or of Asian descent. In addition, having a parent or sibling who has osteoporosis puts you at greater risk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if you also have a family history of fractures. â&#x20AC;˘ Long term use of certain medications can influence your bone health. Why Exercise is Vital! Exercise is crucial for people with, for example, arthritis. Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger, and this helps to increase flexibility, reduce joint pain and assists in combating fatigue. Of course, when you have stiff and painful joints the thought of using a treadmill, or swimming a few lengths might seem overwhelming. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to run a marathon, or swim like an Olympic champion to reduce your symptoms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even moderate exercise can ease your pain, and maintain muscle strength, co-ordination and balance, which in turn helps to prevent falls and related fractures alongside improving the strength of your bones. This is especially important for older adults and those who have been diagnosed with or have a family history of osteoporosis for which classes such Aqua Aerobics offer a great platform to improve the strength of your bones without the worry of any associated impact pain whilst you exercise. Additionally, dry side exercises can give you more strength and energy to get through the day, make it easier to get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep, help you control your weight, generally make you feel better about yourself and improve your sense of well-being. Yoga or Pilates classes again offer a structured and stable approach to improving your bone health alongside muscular strength, flexibility and joint mobility and improved breathing all under the supervision of our expert and experienced instructors. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to help - Free Class Passes! To coincide with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bone Health Awareness Monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peake Fitness is offering free â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;taster class passesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for either Yoga, Aqua or Pilates to anyone who is looking to improve their bone health, flexibility and mobility or just general fitness and wellbeing through these classes. Free class passes are available to anyone that has yet to experience the benefits of the Yoga, Aqua or Pilates. Simply call 01206 265820 or email peake@stokebynayland.com to book your free class.

Shortest but hottest Sponsored Walk ever On Thursday 18 September Anita Postle from Hadleigh will be joining 29 other likeminded people at Ickworth House near Bury St Edmunds to take part in the Suffolk Firewalk. Anita, who works for local Accountants Walter Wright and the other volunteers will be walking 20 feet over hot coals as part of BBC Radio Suffolk’s 8 Days A Week Appeal to raise £250,000 for Suffolk Family Carers to buy, equip and run a mobile Family Carers Centre to take their amazing services across rural Suffolk to the doorsteps of Family Carers of all ages. The Mobile Family Carers Centre will • Deliver information, advice and guidance and provide a place where Family Carers can be listened to, supported and directed according to their needs. • Provide a space to deliver health and wellbeing activities e.g. complementary therapies and simple health checks. • Host group activities giving Family Carers a break from their caring role. • Provide a ‘base’ for other activities, whether these be day trips or regular Family Carer support groups in rural areas where Family Carers may otherwise feel isolated and alone. As well as raising sponsorship for the walk via her Just Giving Page https://www.justgiving.com/Anita-Postle1, she is also holding a Charity Night at the Boxford White Hart in conjunction with their Granary Session on Sunday 7 September starting at 7.30pm.

Former Angel Court Staff Farewell Party
Saturday 9th August some 70 former staff members of Angel Court Hadeigh came together to celebrate almost 50 years of quality care given to the elderly of Hadleigh and surrounding districts. Angel Court will be sadly missed by many as a long standing local residential home, where there has always been an outstanding caring professional team, with a great performance record, who held the respect from all other professionals within the caring field. With the help and support from our local doctors and community nurses we were able to give unrivalled care for all those within our care for many years, thank you. A great time was had by all staff reminiscing the many happy times had working together, which hold a lot of special memories for us all. Chamberlin Hall Management Committee

Hadleigh & District Garden Club First of all, congratulations to Carole for successfully getting fifty members and friends of the club to Barnsdale Gardens and back, without any hitches. Many thanks for all that organisation Carole. Many of us had been intending to visit the much publicised gardens of the late Geoff Hamilton, one of televisions first gardening gurus, for years. It is an eleven acre site consisting of thirty nine individual gardens in which he was able to demonstrate various gardening techniques and approaches to managing the smaller gardens of post war Britain. This was a huge challenge for anyone and it must have been truly spectacular in its hay-day, although by general consensus seemed to have a slightly neglected feel and appearance, but possibly this was due to the inevitable seasonable problems of a problem year, weather wise. A terrific day out with lovely weather, thanks Carole. The next meeting is on Monday 8th September 7.30pm in the Town Hall, Mr Micheal Perry from Thompson and Morgan Seeds will be taking about their products. The competition is three tomatoes.

We have marked the hundredth anniversary of the first world war and it has made some of us reflect on the misery, carnage, and destruction caused by war. So many lives lost and fighting still goes on today. Have we not learnt anything from the past. There are those who fight in the name of religion, those who fight for power or greed and some for freedom from tyranny. Unfortunately, there are the innocent ones who wish to go about their everyday lives in peace and harmony with their neighbours. They are the victims. We should all send out our thoughts to those who are caught up in strife, hope for an end to conflict and look forward to a workable peace for all. We, the healers cannot change the world but we can listen to those who feel burdened by everyday events. If that is how you feel, ring 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org for an appointment , all in the strictest confidence . 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.

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts Some years ago I inherited 3 stone sinks. I like alpine plants and sinks provide a good way of growing some of them, so 2 of the sinks were put by my Summer House, and planted up with alpines, and the third one was sited by my greenhouse to be planted up with a variety of small plants. I included one plant of erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican fleabane). This is a low growing perennial daisy which flowers for months on end. It makes a lovely show, but it will seed around in cracks, and so could become a bit of nuisance. The two planted up with alpines have been good for several years, but now need overhauling. Some alpines have died, some have grown too big and are crowding out other plants, and some weeds have got established and need getting out. September is a good month to overhaul or plant alpines in a sink. If you are going to plant up a trough or other container with alpines remember that it will need very good drainage. The trough must have a drainage hole that you cover with broken clay pots. The object is to allow good drainage, but stop the soil from washing out. In the bottom you need a layer of coarse grit, and then you need to fill the rest of the space up to about an inch below the top with soil to which extra grit has been added. 2 parts soil to 1 part grit is about right. You then plant your plants, and then top dress the top surface with more grit. There are an enormous range of plants that will grow well in troughs. The simplest are the sedums (stonecrops) and sempervivum (house leeks), and plants from these species would make a good start before moving on to something more exotic and challenging.

This mostly fell in the second half of the month. The 3 monthly total at the end of July was 164.6 mm (6.5") which is slightly higher than the average. In July the maximum temperature was 28 Cel (82F) the minimum temperature was 8 Cel (46F) both of which are typical. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 15 Cel (59F), which is typical for mid August, but has dropped back from the July value due to the cooler weather. Hints By September most annuals will be past their best, so we have to rely on the late flowering summer perennials like michaelmas daisies, and sedums to provide the floral display supported by half hardy perennials like dahlias and a second flush on some of the roses. In all cases it is worth cutting dead flowers off as this promotes more flowers. September is the month to buy Spring flowering bulbs. If you want to have them flowering indoors for Christmas they need to be planted immediately. To be successful the bulbs have to make good roots in advance of sending up their flower spikes. To do this they need to be kept quite cool after planting, and in the dark. This is not easy in a modern house. One could bury the planted pots in the garden, but if the bulbs are being grown in bulb fibre in pots with no drainage holes they are likely to get too wet. I have used the attic, but then you do need to remember to water them occasionally. September is a good time for taking cuttings of plants that you want to increase. The range of possibilities is wide. Three inch lengths of shoots that have grown this year, and are non flowering will work well for a lot of plants. September is also a good time to give your lawn some loving care with a feed, and some raking to remove dead material.

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Are you new to Layham? If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet. However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940. Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Parish Council meeting of 3 July 2014 were: • Speeding – Councillor Gordon Jones agreed to raise the issue of extending the 30mph limits in the village with the Highways team. This was becoming more urgent with the development of the Marquis of Cornwallis; a gate providing access for the contractors had now been installed leading onto the main road. Cllr Jones said he would also chase action re Water Lane, which was now almost impassable. • The Clerk would write to Babergh re the damage caused by the burnt-out van on Brett Green. • Planning - there were no objections to the applications relating to Butterfly Hall, 3 Potts Cottages and Squirrels. However, the Clerk would write to Babergh emphasising the PC’s objections to the application in respect of Raworth Bungalow, to reduce the visual splay to 60m. • The Clerk had requested an update on whether or not a replacement Post Office service would be possible; she had received a response saying that, due to the relatively low customer numbers, it was proving difficult to attract anyone willing to operate the service. • Potholes - it was agreed to publicise the link for reporting these and any other road damage via the HCN and community email: https://secure.suffolkcc.gov.uk/customerservice/CSD/SCC/product.aspx?Prod uctlD=PRHMO • Following the extended Public Forum held before the June meeting, ideas for future expenditure by the Parish Council had been considered: - a fence around the play apparatus on the playing field to keep dogs out. An estimate of £5300 had been obtained for galvanised fencing, plus delivery and installation costs of around £3500; an alternative of wooden fencing on a metal framework would be more expensive. In addition, if fencing was erected there would be more maintenance work required, eg grass cutting within the area; - a path all the way across the playing field - a quote had been obtained for a cellular section path, which would cost around £1500, plus labour. The sections would then be filled with earth and grass seed. It was agreed to give further consideration to a path across the playing field and to make a recommendation to the Playing Field Committee. • Telephone boxes, it was agreed that the Clerk would seek a new quotation for refurbishment. As an alternative, a request for volunteers to carry out refurbishment would be made via the community email and the Community News. • Footpaths & Highways – Steve Laing had raised several issues with SCC Highways at his meeting with them in June. The road markings on the B1070 would be reviewed and a suggestion had been made that the road could be narrowed using a gateway feature. The possibility of upgrading the entrance to the burial ground using York stone would be considered. • Environmental matters - it was agreed that the Clerk would write to Anglian Water to request that some maintenance work was carried out at the sewerage pumping station in Mill Lane. She would also write to Flagship to ask them to review the shared area around the houses in Gardener’s Close, and to Babergh regarding the maintenance of trees, shrubs and fencing around Mill Lane and Upper Street. • Babergh’s Small Grant Fund for Holiday Activity - it was noted that there was a grant available from Babergh to fund activities in the school holidays. It was agreed that the Chairman would follow up on a possible initiative to hold a workshop to produce artwork to be displayed in the church on Remembrance Day; this activity would take place during the October half-term. The 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War An illustrated talk on Layham War Memorial attracted over 60 people to the village hall on Monday 4 August. This was the culmination of two years research by Michael Woods into those individuals from the village who lost their lives in the Great War and the Second World War and whose names are inscribed on the village war memorial in the burial ground in Layham. Michael felt that collectively we knew little about those whose names were 46
Telephone Community News on 01473 823366
read out each year on Remembrance Sunday and he resolved to research and document what he could learn about their lives and where and how their contribution to the British war effort was ended. His research, followed by his 11 year old grandson, took him to Belgium and local press and parish records, family memorabilia as well as Ministry of Defence records. He was also greatly assisted by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission who provided photographs of headstones from their cemeteries, including from Gaza. The talk was fascinating and whilst Michael showed sensitivity it was not in any way melodramatic and the audience's attention was held throughout. Michael plans now to publish an illustrated pamphlet of some 100 pages as a permanent record; it will be advertised in Letter from Layham as soon as it is available. Thank you to Martin Looker for providing a photograph of the occasion.

Layham Playing Field 100 Club The winners of the July draw were: £15 Ticket 35 King, £10 Ticket 95 Bynoe Potholes There is a method of reporting potholes in Suffolk roads by logging on to the Suffolk County Council website – www.suffolk.gov.uk – tracking down On-Line Services; clicking on Report a pothole or defect in the highway. If those of you who live on the minor roads in our Parish make an individual report that will help spread the load of keeping abreast of road repairs in Layham. Your report will be given a reference number and, if there is no response, you can follow up or ask Steve Laing to do so (Steve is the Parish Councillor with responsibility for monitoring roads and footpaths). Thank you. News from our PCSO 3108 Mandy Coleman Welcome to this month’s Police news item. It may have escaped the notice of some drivers that car tax rules change from 1st October 2014. The paper car
tax disc is being abolished by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) after nearly one hundred years of use. This will mean that when you purchase your vehicle excise licence after 1st October you will no longer be given a paper tax disc. It follows that it will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. To drive or keep a vehicle on the road you will still need to pay vehicle tax and DVLA will still send you a renewal reminder when your vehicle tax is due to expire. This applies to all types of vehicles including those that are exempt from payment of vehicle tax. Telephone boxes We have two telephone boxes bought for a couple of pounds from BT. The members of the Parish Council have not yet come up with a decision on what to do with them but it is felt that, eventually, we will hit on the best thing. It may even be helpful to move one to a different location! In the meantime, the Parish Council would like to clean them and re-paint them and a group of volunteers is being sought for a couple of days’ work. Would you like to help? Once we find the people we can meet up and decide how, when and where to do the work. Please let Jane Cryer, Clerk to the Parish Council know if you feel this something you could be involved in. Jane’s contact details are: Phone: 07921 713940 and Email: layhampc@googlemail.com - Hoping to hear from you.

St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh I fully realise that each day brings more demands on our charitable giving, but Hadleigh and the surrounding villages have always pulled all the stops out to support this amazing charity, so I invite everyone to join us in St Mar’s Church on the above date, when we will be opening (for one day only!) our very own Macmillan Pop Up Café. We will be serving our usual breakfast menu of bacon and sausage baps, croissants, teacakes and scones until 12 noon, followed by delicious home-cooked food for lunch and then traditional afternoon teas until 5pm. We hope to have some stalls to browse, our usual grand raffle and maybe some other surprises, so do ‘pop in’ to the’ Pop Up’ and meet your friends there. If you are prepared to offer help on the day or a raffle prize, please leave a message on 823739 and I will get back to you.

Leslie Olive, The Sailing Conductor, writes: A local man (Tuddenham St Mary) I once taught as a schoolboy, Martin Soons, is currently doing a circumnavigation of England, Wales and Scotland in his boat. Individuals are sponsoring him in aid of the Suffolk Philharmonic Orchestra, which is a registered charity. I am currently also on the boat, which as I write has reached Kinlochbervie in the far north of Scotland, having set off from Leslie Olive and Martin Soons Shotley (opposite Harwich, as you know - so all very Suffolk) some weeks ago. Martin is doing the circumnavigation in spite of having a deep vein thrombosis - a circumnavigation on Warfarin. The full story is at www.keepturningright.com where I have just contributed to the blog a 'brief despatch' from the Highlands. Please do have a look at the blog and the rest of the website. More information about the circumnavigation and how to donate can be found at www.keepturningright.com

BBC Battle Bertha in Ride London An amazing 32 members of the Boxford Bike Club managed to complete this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prudential Ride London cycling sportive held on the 10th August. The ride, now in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year, saw 24,000 cyclists set out on the route which led them from the start at the Olympic park through the Surrey hills and back to the finish in front of Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately hurricane Bertha meant that the weather conditions were nothing less than horrendous. The riders faced torrential rain and high winds, which in turn meant that the Trevor Crisell and Ian Fovargue at the finish with their medals. organisers were forced to shorten the course, taking out two steep descents of Leith hill and Box Hill. The shortened 86 mile course was no less challenging for the riders than the normal 100 mile route, as the roads literally disappeared under a sea of water and the 40 mph gusts of wind threatened to knock them off their bikes. The crowds along the course were amazing and certainly helped the riders in their efforts. Thankfully all of the Boxford riders completed the treacherous course safely, in times ranging from just over 4 hours to 71/2 hours. Members also raised considerable amounts of money for their nominated charities which included Macmillan Cancer Support and Epilepsy Research UK. The successfully riders from the club were as follows: Andrew Day, Pete Hender, John Runnalls, David Cole, Jamie Lones, Andrew Taczynski, Andrew Mason, Joe Leney, Chris Steward, Neil Ralph, Scott Lee-Amies, Ben Sayles, Richard Thomson, Chris Dormady, Steven Hills, Stewart Ambrose, Veronica Collins, Nick Tribe, Sam Segger, Stephen Hawke, Ian Nick Tribe, Veronica Collins and Simpson, Vicky Moseley, Ali Moseley, Debbie Hattrell with their medals Ian Fovargue, Tim Collins, Deborah at the finish. Stewart, Paul Barnett, Trevor Crisell, Helen Shinn, Matthew Shinn, Sara Taylor-Balls and Debbie Hattrell. Dave Cole, Cris Steward, Richard Thompson (Hidden), Andy Taczynski and Joe Leney crossing Kingston Bridge.

Poets Corner Bliss What is blissful to you. Time out from daily chores would be fantastic, it’s true. A hug just when you need it, wrapped around you, so comforting. Or a box of chocolates all to yourself, may be just the thing. Sinking into a hot, scented bubble bath, at the end of a long day. Could it be a massage, to soothe your aches away. Splurging on that most desired item, even better if it is purchased for you. Putting up your feet, being looked after and really pampered, will certainly do. Eating delicious cakes and tasty treats can make you feel naughty, yet so good. Some things are just heaven sent to indulge in, why not, go ahead, you should. Everyone has their own idea of bliss, I hope you get it soon and relax. Then you can enjoy your time, to the max.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029 Summer may be over but we are still basking in the afterglow of our annual Fete and Fun Dog Show. My human friend, Sandra, called it the happiest day of the year as the garden filled with friends, both old and new. Several animals were reserved and have now started a new life in their ‘forever’ homes. The Ace Agility and Fun Dog Show was enjoyed by animals and humans alike and some of our previously rescued dogs joined the SESAW class. Chloe the Cocker Spaniel was justifiably proud of herself when she took first place. I’m glad I didn’t have to choose, Mum said they all looked like winners to her. Tails wagged, visitors chatted, the band, ‘Jazz Galore’, entertained and just over £2500 was raised on the day. You know what I’m going to say next! Thank you to everyone for making Sunday 27th July such a success. Our next event is our Garage Sale, Saturday and Sunday 6th and 7th September starting at 10am - call in early to grab a bargain. If you want to make some extra money for yourself/Christmas, book a table at our Grand Table Top Sale in the Old School, Long Melford on Sunday 12th October. Word has spread and spaces are going fast - phone Herbie on 01206 263269 or pick up a booking from SESAW to reserve your place. My friend Barbara is holding another sale at the Parish Rooms, Stratford St. Mary on 11th October from 10am. Please note the sale that was planned for 20th September at Leavenheath Village Hall Sale has been postponed. Before I sign off I must tell you we are very much in need of new volunteers to help look after us. Our happy team is dwindling as personal circumstances change and sometimes Mum really struggles to keep up with the animal care - including the cats! Please leave a message on 01787 210888 if you can spare two or three hours one morning a week to help with feeding, cleaning or walking my friends and me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Stoke Road, Leavenheath, CO6 4PP.
HMS Angel Court HMS Angel Court was commissioned in the late 1960's and launched in the then calm waters of Hadleigh, Suffolk. It sailed with a quality crew for many years before a refit in the 1990's. HMS Angel Court continued it's voyages, sometimes through sad times, but mostly through good. The passengers were happy and so were the crew. In 2012 new owners took over the Suffolk Fleet so HMS Angel Court sailed under a different flag. In 2014 it became apparent that HMS Angel Court and Hawthorn were to be replaced with a new 5 star Cruise Liner, Asterbury Place. The crew were in disarray, many jumped ship, but many remained. Angel Court sailed through stormy waters, it took on water, was prone to listing from side to side, there was the frequent sounds of crashing waves on rocks, the smell of seaweed, the squawking of gulls. It was only the frantic running of the crew, which included shipmates Jenny, the Sue's, Sharon, the Anne's, Vicki, Teresa, Alison and others, from one side of the ship to the other that kept her on an even keel. Such was their success that no one else realised the difficult waters HMS Angel Court was in, not even Lou the Ships Master. During this time the below decks boiler keeper Phil Crowfoot was made Captain, his contribution was to run around with the rest of the crew cracking stupid jokes to one and all so when seas were really rough everyone just laughed. Eventually, when HMS Asterbury Place was ready for commissioning Pirates from older vessels of the same fleet started to plunder the goods on board Angel Court. It was carnage. Luckily the remaining crew survived, and HMS Angel Court was steered to a secure mooring, some shipmates retired, others moved on to other ships, some to Asterbury Place. Lifeboats were a frequent sight in the waters as they ferried passengers and crew to various parts of the globe On the 4th August 2014 Captain Crowfoot secured Angel Court in a dry dock at Hadleigh and handed the vessel back to its original owners. Angel Court had completed its final journey, the passengers and crew were safe, it was time to pull up the draw bridge, break out the rum rations and celebrate journey’s end. Hey Ho me hearties, Raise your glasses.

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre The AGM and BBQ is the final event of our year. This is a time to report, reflect and show appreciation to so many people who make The Centre’s work possible. A full report on The Centre’s year was given by the Chairman Jan Derbyshire, the breadth of the activities undertaken is staggering. Amongst the statistics reported were that we gave 2344 rides and carriage drives to 132 people ranging from 4 to 50 years old, approximately 80 each week. These figures are passed to the RDA National organization, our umbrella body. A strong indication of the dedication and belief in our work is shown by the number of service awards given to volunteers. This year thirteen awards were presented to volunteers for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years service to The Centre. 25 and 30 years service are recognized by RDA National and we have several people in this category. Our own In House award of Volunteer of the Year went to Rob Southgate who heads up the splendid team of five men in charge of maintenance at The Centre. We also submitted Louise Kemp’s name to RDA National to be considered as an RDA National Volunteer of the Year. The business over it was time to enjoy companionship and the delicious BBQ food provided and served by the Management Committee, a tangible way to show appreciation to our dedicated volunteers. Although riders do not come to The Centre in the summer holidays, the Carriage Driving still takes place, taking advantage of the good weather. As well as their work as RDA horses/ ponies they have able bodied riders to help them keep fit and motivated. During the summer break six of the horses/ponies stay at The Centre where they are looked after by a team of volunteers, the remaining six go to holiday homes. Ebony is dusted down and rested. We all return refreshed in September following the school holidays. How long our horses and ponies work with us depends on them. Lyn our stable manager knows when it is time for them to retire. Holly has done sterling work for years and has a good home to retire to, she will be greatly missed by riders and helpers, but we have a good photographic record of her time with us. Replacements are hard to find, we are looking for a 13hh ‘teenager’, fit and with a good temperament. Can you help? Fundraising is always on the calendar. We begin with the Sponsored Ride on the 14th September beginning and ending at The Centre. Riders enjoy 15 miles through the beautiful Brett and Box valleys with a half way stop at the Polstead Cock. For details and entry forms contact maggierayner@hotmail.com. On 18th October we have a Race Night with a Fish and Chip Supper at Nayland Village Hall, great fun. For tickets ring Di on 01473 658552. Your support and interest in all we do at The Centre is always appreciated by us, our many riders and their families. Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473 824172

New Boy snatches Jonathan Lambert Salver A new member who had been given his first ever handicap a few days previously beat off a field of 120 to win the prestigious Jonathan Lambert Centenary Silver Salver at Newton Green Golf Club. The event came at the end of the club’s annual golf week, which again attracted more than 500 entries for a wide range of events over six days. Salver winner was Philip Wheaton, one of a number of younger players from the Colchester area that have recently joined up at Newton. His success reflected the continued appeal of the competition, which presents the opportunity for a player from any sector of the club to unexpectedly hit the bigtime for at least one day in their golfing life. Wheaton, given a handicap of 28 following submitting three qualifying cards, played six shots below his handicap and registered 42 points in the popular Stableford HADLEIGH competition. He was followed by Zennan Szpurko and last year’s winner Lewis LOYALTY CARD Woodhead, both on 41 points. Jonathan Lambert presented awards for the week at the Saturday night presentation party, with Jenny Downes (38) 00000 winning the best lady award and Harvey Watts (37) best junior. For the first time, lower handicap players competed simultaneously on a gross Hadleigh Tyre Services score basis for a trophy in the form of a claret jug presented to the club by Calais Street, Hadleigh, manager Carole List. She handed the award to Tom King, who came home Suffolk IP7 5EW with a total of 73. King achieved his success, despite scoring an eight on the par four first hole. After playing his round, he left for his seat at Portman Road, but then had to leave the Ipswich versus Fulham match midway through, after being notified of his success, and rushed back to Newton to pick up his award. Other winners during the week were: Delaney Scramble: David Thurgate, Caroline Draine, Jenny Wilkins and Steve Wordley. Stableford: Jed Seeley, Adrienne Hughes, Mike Fuller and Alex Iveson. Kiskadee Trophy: Jan Doe and Phil Barlow. Three Clubs and Putter: Ian Duncan, Gwyneth Ferreira and Sally 27528 Pie Performance Advert 102.5x137.5mm_Layout 1 08/04/2014 15:59 Page Cade.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh gave a good performance in the annual match against Leyton Orient. The Londoners sent a young side to Suffolk on a baking hot day and Hadleigh held their own for most of the while. Duane Wright gave us the lead but the young professionals scored twice for a narrow win. The annual match for the Hadleigh Charity Cup saw Needham Market at the Millfield. The visitors deservedly gained a win by three goals to nil after an entertaining match. The club’s chosen charity to benefit from the fixture was the Woolverstone Wish Appeal at Ipswich Hospital. Hadleigh then travelled to Stowmarket and a splendid performance saw us score five goals while Stowmarket only managed one. A trip to Grundisburgh resulted in a seven goal win for Hadleigh in a friendly fixture. The first league match was at Fakenham where David Lorimer scored the only goal to give us a narrow win. Next we had Wivenhoe at the Millfield where goals from Lorimer and Scott Chaplin gave us the lead before the Essex side scored a consolation goal just before the end. Six points from two games was a good start to the new season. In the F.A. Cup Hadleigh reached the next round after beating Sawbridgeworth by three goals to two at the Millfield. A late goal by Chaplin won the game for Hadleigh. The Reserves began their pre-season games with wins against Melton St Audrys and Earls Colne. But a heavy defeat against Bramford was a setback. Our Thurlow Nunn Youth Team were narrowly beaten by Barnston and Boxford but a draw against Saffron Walden was followed by another draw when Walsham visited the Millfield. Prize winners in the latest monthly draw were Bob Fletcher and Terry Adams. The Ground Improvement Draw was won by the Hadleigh Thrift Shop. Terry Adams

Hadleigh Cricket Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group It hardly seems possible but the cricket season is already drawing in, and familiar scenes are being played out on and off the field as our teams scrabble for survival or accept graceful defeat. The 1st XI have had a better month, with good wins over Witham and Wivenhoe leaving them comfortably off in midtable. Kyle Tanner has enjoyed a productive few weeks with the ball, picking up twelve wickets in three matches and leading the attack with venom once more. It has been good to see some of the longest serving members of the side (those in their late 20s) Tim Rix and Kalpesh Ellis make some telling contributions in recent wins. It is still touch and go for the 2nd XI, whose form has picked up during the second half of the season, but they would be in a sorrier state without the allround excellence of Steven Tampion. Freed from the burden of captaincy Bloss has been in terrific form, scoring over 500 runs in the middle order and picking up nearly 30 wickets, as well as helping out the Academy side on a Sunday when they have been short. It has been quite a turnaround for the Academy XI – once they got that first win in early July the results column on the website has been a sea of green. Alas, it seems all to no avail, after one of those wins was effectively chalked off due to an administrative omnishambles higher up the Sunday food chain. Nevertheless, there have been some nail biting finishes at Edwardstone and Elmswell, where the chase began with an epic 91 from Tabs Willis and ended with perhaps the first instance of an HCC father-daughter winning stand, courtesy of Buster and Jasmine Tampion. The club would like to thank all of its match sponsors this season: Hadleigh Castings, Aedos Cricket, Anglia Fire Protection and S. Cowle Electrical. Farmer
Hadleigh Bowling Club News The local league matches have finished and although our 6 league teams enjoyed mixed fortunes there were some notable successes. The Monday County Mixed Triples Team were Runners Up as were the Wednesday Men’s Ips & Dist Triples Team. Both the Thursday Federation Teams had good seasons with the Division “F” Team being Champions by a long way and the Division “H” Team finishing a creditable third. However the season is far from over and by popular request we squeezed in an additional Club 3 Wood Pairs competition at the end of August. We are now coming to the business end of the season long inter club competitions with Finals Day scheduled for Saturday 13 September. This will be followed, a week later, by the Ladies v Gents end of season drive and supper/dance which is always popular. During the season we have welcomed 5 new novice bowlers who have taken advantage of the free coaching we offer and they all seem very keen. In addition we have 2 new experienced bowlers who are members of other clubs but have been so impressed by the quality of our green that they have chosen to play their bowls at Stone Street. Indeed it is a credit to our “Green Team” that we have had so many complements from visiting teams this season. We think that it is now one of the best greens in the county so why not come and have a look before the end of season. September means our attentions turn to indoor Short Mat Bowling where once again we participate in local leagues with 2 teams. Short Mat also provides continued social bowling during the winter on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and on Sunday mornings The club runs a number of social events throughout the year which include monthly Sunday Lunches on the first Sunday of the month as well as Quiz Nights, BBQs, Race Nights and Music Nights with live bands by way of example. New members are always welcome so if you would like to see what the club has to offer both from the playing and social point of view please contact our Secretary, Fred Creed on 01473 822482.
