THE STREETWATCH SCHEME HAS BEEN LAUNCHED! A police and community partnership initiative, which aims to enhance the quality of life in Hadleigh was launched on Monday 8th October. The 'Streetwatch' scheme will be run by local residents who want to promote good citizenship and support a stronger neighbourhood, while empowering the community to take ownership of their public spaces through high-visibility patrols. Babergh Crime Reduction Officer Verity Line said: "We now have ten fully signed up volunteers for the Hadleigh scheme which is brilliant. Thank you to everyone who is volunteering and offering your time." Volunteers will be walking around Hadleigh during both day and night hours in pairs and wearing a high visibility jacket with the Streetwatch crest on. The scheme is regulated through operating guidance, codes of conduct and all members have undergone local police checks. They will be reporting any
issues to the Police and the District Council such as litter, graffiti, anti social behaviour, highways concerns and criminal activity. Hadleigh Safer Neighbourhood Team PCSO Julia Bignell will be the Police link for the scheme and is looking forward to seeing the volunteers out and about in the town aiding a safer community and environment for all. If you see a vounteer out on patrol please take the time to stop and say hello to them. Anyone who is interested in joining the Hadleigh Streetwatch scheme or obtaining further information should contact Crime Reduction Officer Verity Line on 101 or verity.line@suffolk.pnn.police.uk

Waterfield House hosts Community Coffee Morning Situated within walking distance of Hadleigh Town Centre, Waterfield House Care Home is a new care home providing 24 hour residential and dementia care for the older people of Hadleigh and beyond. Waterfield also boasts 7 self contained supported living apartments to help promote independent living. On Friday 12th October we hosted a community coffee morning in our very own old fashioned tea room and offered a warm welcome to the local community, residents, families and friends. The home also had the pleasure of Brian Lazenby’s company who is the Deputy Mayor of Hadleigh. The coffee morning offered everyone a chance to get together and have a chat over a cup of tea and enjoy one of our chef’s popular homemade chocolate éclairs and cakes. Waterfield House would like to thank all those that attended for their support and we are keen to continue to welcome and encourage the local community to get involved with our home with lovely residents. We have already made “friends” with local St Mary’s church whose members hold church services at the home. As well as two pianists’ who both visit the home to perform “old time sing songs” on the piano. The most recent addition has been the ‘Knit and Natter’ group, who now hold their weekly meeting at the home which is proving to be a great success. Finally, we are very keen to hear from other groups that might be interested in becoming ‘friends” of Waterfield House, so if you are interested or know someone that might be please contact Sarah on 01473 829103. Thank You.
Crockatt Garage Ltd. With winter just about upon us and the dark nights drawing in we all have to be more aware of the wintry road conditions. When did you last check that all your lights are functioning correctly or open the bonnet and check your fluid levels? As technology and car design have changed dramatically it has become increasingly difficult to carry out simple tasks like changing a headlamp bulb yourself. As we are all aware this can make driving more hazardous to you and other road users and could also attract the attention of the police. There are a few simple checks that we should all be doing regularly but often get overlooked for various reasons. Another point of discussion for more and more people today is the use and fitment of winter tyres. There are many conflicting views about how they perform and are they worth having. To help consumers there is new legislation regarding tyre labelling, this is in an effort to make tyre manufacturers clearly mark the performance of their tyres with regards to fuel efficiency and performance in the wet. At Crockatt Garage Ltd we are now offering a winter check which will encompass lights, levels, tyre pressure/condition, battery condition, antifreeze protection and a general visual inspection. We also hold good stocks of bulbs and wiper blades which when purchased will be fitted free of charge. Should you have any other queries regarding your car please pop in for a coffee and chat or give us a call. 3 Seager Court, Hadleigh, IP7 6RL. Tel: 01473 824342

Howard at the Cathedral of Reims At this time of year, as one peers out first thing in the morning from the warmth of the Gibbons’ residence one remembers those lines of Keats: “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close-bosom friend of the maturing sun”. Just before darkness descended and the smell of woodsmoke was all around, I escaped for a Rolls-Royce weekend ensconced in the Champagne region of France. My chauffeur Frank was given the weekend off and I was driven through France by a younger and more racy model in a shiny Black Bentley Continental sedanca coupe. There were some thirty five cars and we had lovely weather which enabled the roof panels of the Bentley to be removed. I winced as we departed from Colchester at 5 in the morning but we were soon flying along the wide roads of France and following another friend in his red fastback Bentley S2 model. We stayed at Hotel du Golf de l’Ailette at Chamouille and there I awoke to a vista over a magnificent lake with mists too. I enjoyed lovely lunches and dinners, a visit to J de Telmont Champagne and even entertained the 70 participants with a “cabaret” one evening. My photographer has done an excellent job this month and the picture finds me in the magnificent setting of the Cathedral of Reims. I am sporting the green gussets and gaiters of the Nuns of Reims. And this is what I do to relax. The more astute amongst you will know that my birthday will soon be upon me. You my readers and clients are too kind. Many of you tell me that when you meet me in the flesh I appear much younger than you had imagined. One lady placed me at 39 and a friend says that the last time I saw that figure was on someone’s front door. I do recommend the application of a little Nivea for Men moisturising cream just before retiring at night to keep those wrinkles at bay. I don’t want you to end up with wrinkles and headaches as a result of your conveyancing transactions – the way to avoid those is to come to see me. Some banks (such as HSBC) are insisting that one of a small national panel of solicitors should act for the bank. We can still act for you and provide the personal service that you need and so don’t be driven into the arms of some call centre type firm of solicitors. Do telephone us to discuss your circumstances. It is also very important that you ensure that you have your Wills in place and also tucked away in your drawer a Lasting Power of Attorney.

It has been full speed ahead at Beaumont School these last few weeks. We have been busy celebrating Harvest with the whole school participating in a special Harvest assembly. The Spiders class introduced the assembly, led by Rev. Martin Thrower, with a specially chosen Harvest poem. The children also contributed to a Harvest collection Some of the members of Spider and Beetle for the charity World classes by the Blackbird at Duxford. Vision, the money collected going to sponsor a child in Ethiopia. Recently, we have all been involved in a very exciting film week, designed to stimulate the children’s work in Literacy. The week focused on a well known children’s film and involved learning in many curriculum areas. The children took part in a range of activities including designing new characters and filming new scenes. The whole week was a great success and the children produced some fabulously imaginative work. The week, which included a trip to the local cinema, was rounded off by an ‘Oscar’ type awards ceremony complete with a red carpet and gold envelopes! The Spiders class attended a Science day at Hadleigh High School. These days are always brilliantly organised, with the children really enjoying the various activities put on. This year was no exception. The day entitled ‘Space Camp’ saw the children take part in a number of space related challenges. Rockets were made and launched; moon buggies designed, built and tested. The children had a great time learning about the complexities of space and our thanks goes out to the members of Hadleigh High school who organised the day for us. We have also invited the pupil’s grandparents in for a special grandparents’ lunch. This was very well supported, with grandparents coming from near and far. One grandparent, commented on how ‘School dinners weren’t like this in my day!’ After lunch the children gave their grandparents a guided tour of the school. This term the two older classes, Spiders and Beetles, have been learning about life during World War II. As part of this topic the two classes spent an exciting day at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. The children toured around the different hangars in the morning and in the afternoon took part in an ARP (Air Raid Precautions) workshop. During this workshop each child was given their own gas mask, which they were taught how put on in case of a gas attack! They were also taught how to deal with an incendiary bomb if we were unlucky enough to have one fall on the school. In loving memory of our darling daughter

Greener Hadleigh November, and it's that time of year again when we find energy prices are going up and this year, because of odd weather and poor harvests we are told there will also be large price rises of food. Last November we suggested checking for insulation and draughts in your home, so briefly, some of the ideas were: check for draughts around windows and doors, including letter boxes, and if you find any pop into our well-stocked local hardware store to find simple remedies such as foam strips and draught excluders; check that radiators are not covered by curtains or furniture; if you do not have double glazing there is a film that can be bought to fit for yourself, with the help of a hairdryer; Check electricity usage with a monitor available to borrow from the library. In the case of food, please don't be tempted to BOGOF on perishable goods that you might end up throwing away. If you do find you have vegetables past their best do try making soup or stews (much simpler than you think). Bread is a food that is most often thrown away, and is forecast to rise in price because of wheat shortages - it can be frozen and used a slice at a time for toast; you can make breadcrumbs, puddings, both sweet and savoury, toppings for crumbles and pasta dishes and homemade stuffing. Look for interesting recipes, try the library, the internet and the website; lovefoodhatewaste.com Reduce, reuse, repair recycle

Visitors to the Preview and the Fayre at The Venue, Kersey Mill will find a wide range of high quality and unusual gifts including children’s toys, jewellery, hand made soaps, festive candles and wreaths, kitchenware, gifts for foodies, Christmas cards, gift wrap and lots more. On Saturday there will also be an opportunity to sample the lunchtime menu, cakes and refreshments downstairs at the Mill in the Little Treats Coffee Shop, courtesy of Kimberely Morton. “We are most grateful to The Venue at Kersey Mill for coming to our rescue by hosting the Christmas Fayre.” Linda Newbigging, the event organiser, said. “With building works still in progress at St Mary’s Church it looked as though we might have to reconsider holding this year’s event. Not only is it able to go ahead, but it looks set to be one of the best ever Fayres, with a great selection of new stalls and a lovely setting to get everyone into the festive spirit”. Proceeds from the Fayre will be donated to St Mary’s Church and School, as well as The Teenage Cancer Trust, the charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. Admission is £5 for the Friday night Preview and £2 for the Fayre on Saturday, both payable at the door and including free parking. The Kersey Christmas Fayre is sponsored by Carter Jonas. “It is a great pleasure to continue to be associated with such a well organised event that generates such a lovely atmosphere and funds for charity.” said Caroline Edwards, on behalf of Carter Jonas.

Out of the Frying Pan Troubles come not as single spies but often as battalions. So when I wrote of August being a quiet month I did not reckon on Tesco, East House and Hadleigh Quarry all coming out of the woodwork to claim our attention. The good work that Babergh’s officers do often goes unnoticed and more often unappreciated. One of the current issues affecting Hadleigh is the High School ignoring the needs of its immediate neighbours in Station Road. It is a saga of mistakes, unintended consequences and an inability to appreciate that being big doesn’t mean you are right. The problem began in 2009 when the school, County and Town Council thought that a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) was needed in Hadleigh. The site was to measure 60m x 40m and planning permission came with a number of conditions. The suggested site was comfortably some distance away from the Station Road residences and there was no reason why everyone should not have been happy. But then the MUGA was built 20% larger than authorised and placed nearer the houses. The all weather pitches were not sited nearer to the school but close to the boundary fences adjoining the houses. So, what should have remained a quiet residential area with residents being able to enjoy their summer gardens with the distant sound of happy athletes – meant that the residents felt they were imprisoned in their homes as balls bounced off of the fences and the “athletic” language ranged from the impolite to the downright offensive. The school says it doesn’t have the money to put things right – as if that is a good reason for continuing to inflict mistakes on other people. Babergh officials on the other hand served a Noise Abatement Notice on the school in response to noise from the balls hitting the fence around the MUGA. The Planning Enforcement Officer has also intervened because there is unauthorised lighting. What’s a reasonable way forward? First use the pitches furthest from the houses before you use the ones closest to the houses. Remind players that they are not Premier Division and so do not need to emulate the bad habits that they see and read about. Switch off the lights in accordance with the planning approvals and finally use the normal pitches during the summer months. Otherwise the authority to use the MUGA 365 days a year until 10 p.m. Mondays to Friday and until 9 p.m. on Saturdays has to be revised and past errors need to be corrected. The purpose of Government and its agents is to serve the public – not to serve some at the expense of others.

Playstation Pre-School Hello everyone, where is this year going?? We can’t believe we are in November already, and soon it will be time to start preparing for Christmas. The children have been busy making lots of things ready for Guy Fawkes. The firework pictures are very popular, the children love making them. We have also been having talks about the safety on fireworks and also talking about Remembrance Sunday and the Poppy’s. We have been reading lots of our favourite stories and have been playing in the woods at the back of the school. The children and staff all believe the Gruffalo lives there!!! By the time you read this we would have had our fund raising meeting at Playstation, so please look out for future fund raising events we will be holding. We also have a Facebook page, where you can see up to date important information. To find us on Facebook we are Playstation Preschool, Hadleigh.

Diamond-Lites Majorettes The Troupe attended the British Association of Twirling Organisation Nationals weekend away on the 12th October. Which was to be the last competition of the season and what a way to end the season! It was a great weekend where the children performed 14 routines over Saturday and Sunday. The Diamond-Lites girls performed amazingly well with each girl putting in 110% and it paid off. The results were; 6 x 1st place trophies, 5 x 2nd place trophies, 1 x 3rd place trophy and 2 x 4th place trophies. Along with lots of medals for the leaders and mascots. Well done Sofie for winning personality of the troupe and Eve for winning smiler of the troupe. As a troupe we also won most improved troupe of the weekend and the most impressive part of the weekend was winning runner-up troupe of the weekend!! This was something we never expected to achieve as we are such a young troupe. Well done girls we are all so proud of you. Well done and thank you to our leaders and under leaders from this year (Mica, Fran, Elana, Holly, Georgia, Bex, Ky-anna and Lucy) and good luck to the new leaders and under leaders (Kim, Sofie, Holly, Kerys, Jazzy, Lacey, Hannah and Riah).

Local lad Adam opens ‘Hadleigh Car Wash’ Hadleigh Car Wash is the brain child of local lad Adam Hakeney. The exHadleigh High School pupil has had this dream since leaving school and developing his love of cars. He saw a need for a professional, personal carwash to service the market town of Hadleigh and it’s surrounding areas. He knew that the service had to be the best and he wished to employ local people to provide this. He invested in the best products and researched heavily into the needs of each individual customer that was to visit his Hadleigh Car Wash. He found his premises in Lady Lane Industrial Estate next to ‘Jayrest’ and then the dream became reality. Together with his team he worked tirelessly to build from scratch a professional premises with a comfortable office with sofas, coffee and tea facilities and daily newspapers so the customer could relax in the knowledge that their car was being treated to the very highest of car wash service. With a menu of services offered to all types of cars and vans it meant that every customer would have a beautifully clean car without using their own precious time to valet the car. Adam who now lives in Ipswich had a fondness for Hadleigh where he spent his childhood and teenage years, he attended a local karate club achieving brown belt status, went to both Cubs and Scouts and loved the community and all the facilities it offered. He wanted to give something back to the place where so many years of his life had been spent. He missed in Ipswich the local spirit but understood that to make his idea a success he would have to provide the best service as Hadleigh is a discerning community. Opening day on the 6th October approached and Adam and his team spread the word that a new hand car wash was coming to town! The day was a success and many customers were delighted with their sparkling showroom clean cars but it was noted that word had not spread far enough. We were, of course, very happy that our customers were spreading the word but to ensure the carwash becomes a thriving addition to Hadleigh’s amenities Adam’s family used modern social media Facebook as well as delivering many leaflets around Hadleigh. Come and visit Hadleigh Car Wash and meet Adam and his team, you will be glad you did and will never have to spend hours again polishing your beloved motor.

Will Making – Really Good News! When I go out to meet clients for the first time, they often say ‘you’re nothing like we expected’, as if I should have shuffled in wearing a Terry Pratchett wizard’s hat with a long white beard and a scythe over my shoulder. My bike riding (when I have time for a Wills on Wheels journey to the client’s house) makes it hard for me to carry unusual kit. I am told that my will writing business is also a bit different, having become an established service since I started it in Polstead as a retirement project some three years ago. It may still be unrecognized by some, but its purpose, from the very start, has been aimed at helping a wide range of people locally to make good wills without any fuss or undue expense. I act for many older clients, but my list of clients – nearly all of them are local - includes old and young, wealthy and not so well off. I’ve done some research recently to confirm what I thought – that many of my clients are around my age or a bit more (I’m a retired solicitor aged 72). The average age of the clients I saw in October was over 80 but that was exceptional and I do also act for clients in their 20s! Every client’s main objective in making a will is to tidy things up. The will should appoint executors and include a clear statement of the client’s wishes, knowing that with luck it will be many years before the executors have to wind up the estate – when it should be just as the client wished, with the right people inheriting, and no complications, claims or unnecessary expense. Unsurprisingly, a number of my older clients aren’t too mobile these days, and I’m happy to visit them at a time to suit them. I’m very aware how important it is for some clients that they should have a home visit service, because that’s when they are most likely to be relaxed and at their best to discuss their affairs. For younger clients, early evening meetings are usually more convenient because they don’t lose time or wages during the working day. For all clients, the good news is that with home visits they avoid the cost and stress of getting an appointment with a town solicitor. Some clients prefer not to be visited at their home, in which case I am happy for them to come to my office at Polstead. Our normal will writing service includes two visits. The first is a ‘get to know you’ visit when we talk about the family relationships, discuss the client’s wishes and agree the outline of the will. Then, I draft the will, send it to the client, and we discuss and agree any issues. The second stage is the next meeting when I present the final version of the will, the client signs it and my wife and I act as formal witnesses. In my view this is the most important stage of the entire exercise, because if the will is incorrectly executed, it is invalid. I’ve noticed that this month nine national charities have clubbed together to encourage people to make wills and donate to the charities instead of paying the solicitors (who agree to waive their fees). Any initiative to encourage people to make wills and donate to charity is clearly a good thing, although I should make the point that in most people’s wills, in these recessionary times ‘charity begins at home’. In cases where clients do leave to charity, this is usually to local (specially the local church), health (such as Cancer, Alzheimers and Parkinsons) and animal charities, not forgetting the RNLI with our coastal connection. Its important to remember that there can be a very long time gap between the date when the will is written and the time when the charity receives its bequest. For that reason, lifetime gifts are vital, and the easiest way to start is by putting loose change in a charity box at home or in the workplace. The Will Business isn’t just about wills. For the more mature clients, I provide lasting powers of attorney (very useful in helping sons and daughters to run aged parents’ bank accounts and pay bills) and advance decisions (to refuse medical treatment). Will making is one of the best forms of family planning (short of the obvious). It sets the rules so that your family can inherit as you want, without arguments. In this box ticking age, making your will ticks an important box. It is painless, thanks to the home visits, and your will should not need to be reviewed for some years unless there are changes in personal circumstances. Trevor Dodwell, The Will Business Ltd

By increasing your self awareness and targeting the deep postural muscles through this controlled discipline you'll achieve noticeable long-term results. A girdle of strength can be achieved as we gently reshape your body, improving muscle definition and tone. Learning to change any bad habits you may have picked up over the years, we will focus on a lateral breathing technique allowing you to breathe wide and full using the whole of your lung capacity, thereby promoting relaxation and releasing any tension from the body as you regain correct alignment throughout. Please contact me if you wish to join a matwork class and allow me and the body control Pilates method help you achieve your goals. Pilates can benefit anyone of any age and any level of fitness. I offer General, Intermediate and Beginner/Refresher classes with the option of having a no obligation taster session before choosing to join a course. 1:1 and 1:2 sessions are also available to enhance your Pilates experience. Courses are usually 6-7 week blocks with payment in advance securing your place. I provide everything you should require including mats, head pillows, bands, balls, rollers and more!! Just come wearing something comfortable to move in and I would recommend socks. I hope that you will leave your class feeling mentally refreshed, physically energised with a better posture and inner strength. If you know someone who may benefit from Pilates classes why not buy them a gift voucher to be used against a course or a one off Pilates class?

Hadleigh Cub Scouts were triumphant for the second year running at the District Quiz Competition on 14th October 2012 beating 5 other packs to win the coveted trophy. It was a very close competition and they were 2 points behind Acton & Waldingfield Cubs going into the last round - general knowledge....but their combined hardwork and knowledge gave them the lead by just 2 points. Very well done to Jamie, Lonnie, Jakob, Tyler, Dan & Joel. They now have to repeat this and represent Sudbury District at the County Competition in November. Good Luck Cubs. Pat Pitcher

In 2011 Jann Turner started running a Horse Rescue Sanctuary at Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm on Pond Hall Road in Hadleigh. With the recession leaving many people with less disposable income, there became a corresponding increase in the number of horses which we found to be abused or neglected. Jann soon found that she was being approached by various people asking her to take on their horses as the owners were no longer able to afford their upkeep, or she would be asked to step in and rescue abandoned and neglected horses, simply because of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw away mentality. It was at this point that Jann knew that part of Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm needed to become a charitable rescue centre. Alongside this Jann has Picture is a horse called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Indiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and been working towards setting up an she came to us as she had been Equine Assisted Care Farm at neglected and left in a field for Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. 18 months alone Care Farming incorporates the therapeutic use of farming activities to provide health, social and educational benefits to participants from vulnerable backgrounds. Typical participants include adults and young people with specific learning difficulties, from care backgrounds or those who have become withdrawn from society. Those attending will benefit greatly from our structured programmes which in part incorporate a therapeutic connection with horses from our Rescue Centre. However, at Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we are faced with the dilemma of funding. In order for the Rescue Centre to continue, we must firstly raise ÂŁ5000 to become registered with The Charity Commission. Without our rescue centre, we would not be able to provide the life-changing services of our Care Farm. This is where we need your help. We stand by our motto of â&#x20AC;&#x153;helping horses to help peopleâ&#x20AC;?. If you think that you are able to help in anyway possible, we would be interested to hear from you. This may be through small monthly donations, giving your time to help with fundraising activities or if you are a business, through generous sponsorship or collaboration. To read more about our Rescue Centre and Care Farm please visit our website and get in touch with us at www.frenchsequinerehabilitationcentre.co.uk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we think we have the ability to make a real difference to people within our local community, but we need your help to make this happen.
A Big Thank-You to Penny On behalf of us all at the Alison Fracella Research Trust we would like to say a huge thank- you to Penny Cook for raising an incredible ÂŁ500 for us. We are very touched that, in her year as Hadleigh Town Mayor, Penny chose to nominate us as one of her chosen charities. We are grateful for her kind words and for all the hard work that she and her team have put into raising funds for us. Every penny will go towards the research project we are funding into Glioblastoma at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Further details of the Trust and our activities can be found on our web site www.afrt.org.uk Rob and Sue Kettlewell, Roy Death, Graham Panton and Andy Balchin (Trustees)

Lesley will be discussing The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald on Monday 3rd December between 2pm and 2.40pm on BBC Radio Suffolk. The Great Gatsby is generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the ‘Jazz Age’. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century. Visit our Suffolk Reads link on suffolklibraries.co.uk where you can tweet, blog or post a review. We look forward to hearing from you. It’s free! Tell your friends and family - it's free to join the library and everyone is welcome. Did you know that with a library card you can borrow up to 20 books, 6 story cassettes/CDs and 3 Ebooks for free? You can also borrow CDs, DVDs and computer games for a small charge – ask our staff for details. You can use the internet for free in every library too – our computer system means that you can book in advance to surf the net or just pop in and see if a PC is available.
BUST - Breast Uplift and Support Team Ladies, please donate bras no longer needed, and pop them into the Bra Bank in the Co-op. The Rotary Club of Hadleigh is collecting unwanted bras to help women in the 3rd world, at the same time contributing to Breast Cancer Care. When we have a sufficient number they will be collected by BCR Global Textiles, who sort and sell on appropriate bras to 3rd world countries, encouraging micro-trade. The remainder are sold on as textile scrap. £1 per kilo will be given directly to Breast Cancer Care. We are very grateful to the Co-op for allowing us to place the cardboard container inside the store. (Mrs) Glenn Abbassi, President, Rotary Club of Hadleigh

Hadleigh Thrift Shop Ltd We have had another successful trip to Albania, visiting all the people on our Family Link programme, and adding a few more. For the first time we saw the wonderful improvements to the Orphan Boys â&#x20AC;&#x153;cowshedâ&#x20AC;? in which the three of them live. It has a new roof (the old one leaked), a lovely tiled floor, new windows and front door. The next job is a new toilet and shower. They also have new beds as the old ones were falling apart. The cost of all this has been shared with Leiston Charity Shop. It has made such a difference to their lives. Hadleigh town and district â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through helping our shop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should be justly proud. The three boys lost both of their parents very suddenly, but they can now stay together in their improved building. The visit was also timed so that we could attend Antonelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding to Rezart. She is the student who was at university in England and sometimes helps out in the shop. The event was so different to a wedding here and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

Build a School in Gambia (BASIG) School Opening & Forthcoming Fundraising Event Build a School in the Gambia (BASIG) charity trustees and members on Sunday 23 September inaugurated the Martin Englefield Nursery School in Sukuta. The school is funded by a charity in the UK founded by Martin Englefield and Alan Seager, charity no. 1146651. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Fatou Jallow, head-mistress of the school, said the school activities will be based on Forebel system, which is learning through play. She added that the Montessori Method will also be an additional approach which helps pre-school children to recognise, understand and learn their numbers and letters which will also help them to count, read and write. According to Mrs Jallow, the Monstessori practical life activities will also be introduced, like carrying a chair, walking on the line, saying please and thank you, washing hands, amongst others. "The wellbeing, welfare and development of children can only be realised with the support of parents. I would urge all parents and guardians to give their full encouragement to the school especially the Sukuta community," Mrs Jallow commented. The location was chosen because the board of trustees found out that most of the children in Sukuta are not attending school due to financial constraints. The school was built in Sukuta so that children can have access to early childhood education at no cost. "We have large classrooms which can accommodate up to eighty pupils," Mrs Jallow revealed. Mrs Jallow will be running the school as headmistress with two specialist nursery school teachers, Marie Sambou and Kering Bakering. Assisting them with child welfare will be Florence who will also double up with cleaning and hygiene. Martin Englefield, a founder co-trustee of the charity, disclosed that one million Dalasis (£20,000) had been spent to realise the project, adding that it took two years to raise the money through various fundraising events in the UK. "The building started in November 2011; a project with a combined team of English and Gambian members. If you are educated you have more chances of getting job and live in a better life," he said. Project manager and co-trustee Alan Seager said “we are very proud of what has been achieved in such a very short time, however, the work
has only really just begun as having spent most of the budget allocated we must now fund the project going forward. We urge all our sponsors where possible to continue their generous support”. It is hoped the charity will be able to stretch funds and cover day to day running costs through to next spring when an annual golf day fundraising event will take place on Friday 17 May. The event should raise enough funds to finance running the school for at least 2 years as well as fund the purchase of additional teaching equipment. We are very grateful for all the help received over the past 2 years from charity members, including Dinky and Helen from Hadleigh and all the workers who travelled from UK and all our other helpers both in the UK and The Gambia. Without their support the project would never have achieved its objective. 100% of all BASIG donations go to towards the building and running costs of the school, no profit generated or donated is spent on charity administration or travel costs, we thank all of our generous sponsors who have helped the project evolve thus far.
FORTHCOMING FUNDRAISING EVENT The Charity would like to announce a forthcoming fundraising event to be held at the Seager Home Solutions head office site
at Crockatt Road Hadleigh on Sunday 16th December The intention will be to hold a bric a brac / table top sale combined with a car boot sale of various second hand items of household goods, clothing, toys and misc items that have been donated by supporters. There will be refreshments throughout the day. Charity trustees, members and various supporters will be on hand to discuss all aspects of the project, all welcome so please try and attend to learn more and support our project. If you would like to participate in the boot sale there is a charge of £5.00 per car which will be donated to the charity. Please call 07824 594795 or 01473 824884 for further details

Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: Some 30 members and partners enjoyed an afternoon cruise in August on the Orwell Lady from Ipswich to Harwich and back. The weather was excellent throughout and a very generous and tasty buffet tea was provided on the return journey. This was the first occasion on which the Club had combined with Hadleigh Probus Club for a function and as this proved very successful there may be opportunities in the future to join together again. SPEAKERS: 1. Pip Wright, local historian and author, discussed a book which he had written about exploring East Anglia by bus pass. As soon as he qualified he obtained a pass and has used it continuously ever since. Essential materials include a set of timetables and maps to ensure accurate planning of journeys. Most of East Anglia is accessible by bus and whilst many routes will entail a number of changes this gives the opportunity to explore whilst awaiting connections. Country walks or cycle rides may be incorporated easily. Bus passes may be used all over England and he recommends venturing further afield. Pip finished with a song which he had composed incorporating the names of all the places he had visited. 2. Rotary member, Terry Wiles, gave a presentation about his visit to the Olympics. He had the use of a flat close to the action and which was virtually on the marathon route. He was also near to the cycle road race course and managed to catch a glimpse of Bradley Wiggins on his way to winning Gold in the time trial. He had tickets to hockey and football (British Ladies v Brazil at Wembley). Together with his son, he also spent a whole day at the three day eventing in Greenwich Park which proved to be excellent value. When not at specific venues he was able to make use of the large TV screens dotted around the Olympic park and it was on one of these that he saw Nicola Adams gain her boxing gold. He had been impressed with everything at the Olympics and produced a slide show of many photographs taken there. 3. Our nonagenerian member, Peter Castle, paid a visit to regale members with more of his memories of yesteryear. This time he covered his schooldays in Sheffield, his help in capturing a German airman shot down near his family smelting works at Consett and some travels in Germany after the war. MEMBERSHIP: With the loss of a number of members during the past few months membership is at its lowest in the history of the Club. If it is to avoid the fate of Hadleigh Round Table and Hadleigh Lions, both of which closed some years ago, new members are urgently needed. Please support your local Club - if you have a small amount of spare time and would like to help your local community and further afield please make contact through our website.There is also a new way of dipping your toe in the Rotary water, so to speak, this is Associate membership and you may read all about it on the website. Perhaps we may be hearing from YOU in the near future. Looking Glass 135x95.indd NOVEMBER PROGRAMME: 1st Business Meeting, 8th Speaker, 15th Speaker, 22nd Speaker, 29th Special General Meeting. For all information concerning Hadleigh Rotary Club please visit Rotary Club of Hadleigh website
Hadleigh Evening WI At the October meeting Hadleigh Evening enjoyed a “Harvest Supper” of local fish and chips followed by puddings provided by members. It was an enjoyable evening giving everyone an opportunity to chat and discuss arrangements for Christmas including a dinner at Corncraft and a concert by a Welsh male voice choir at the Apex centre in Bury. Several members visited the new Leisure Centre at the Hadleigh Pool and were particularly interested in the Community room. They could provide a suitable venue for Group and open meetings. Some WI ladies already regularly use the facilities to keep fit. Our Annual meeting will be held in the Seminar suite above the library on 18 November starting 7.30pm. We will look back on the past year, appoint a new Committee and discuss the proposed program for 2013. Visitors and new members are always welcome. Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

The vacancy would be publicised on the village noticeboards. • In order to promote the recycling of textiles within the village, consideration would be given to a central collection point in Lower Layham. • Community Engagement – the PC’s response to Babergh and Mid Suffolk’s questionnaire had been submitted. • It was noted that the War Memorial was due for its annual clean and arrangements for this would be made. • Babergh Community Achievement Awards – the PC decided to nominate Cllr David Pratt for a Category 2 Award: ‘Selfless Service by an individual to a voluntary body or to the community’. The dates of meetings for the whole year are displayed on the main village notice boards. Information about the Parish Council together with full minutes is on the village website: www.layham.org St Andrew’s - your local church Services in November: 4 10.30am Family Worship 11 10.50am Remembrance Service 18 9.15am Said Eucharist (BCP) 10.15am Café Church at St Andrews 25 9.15am Family Eucharist Scarecrow Festival Many thanks to those who supported the scarecrow festival. The theme was the characters in the novels of Charles Dickens. As last time, the star of the show was Noel Herring, who converted his garage into the Old Curiosity Shop and then dressed himself up as a scarecrow! Marian Hughes provided this photograph. Over £200 was raised for church funds. In the early morning Laurence Nicholls spotted one of the scarecrows shrouded in mist and took this evocative photograph of ‘The Spirit of Christmas Past’.

The first Layham Community Lunch In June 2012 a Parish Plan workshop was held in the Village Hall. Suffolk ACRE helped the Parish Council organise the evening and reported back on the findings. During the workshop one of the key issues was the further development of ‘community spirit’ and how that could be achieved. A popular idea was the formation of a Lunch Club for the whole community. Working in a small group an action plan was devised and this was later approved by the Parish Council. As a result the first ‘trial’ Layham Community Lunch will be held on Wednesday 5th December in The Queen’s Head in Lower Layham. A two course autumn lunch will be served followed by coffee for £5.00 starting at 12.00. If you would like to come to the lunch please book by the 28th November so we can be clear on numbers. Don’t worry if you would have difficulty getting there because transport can also be booked in advance. The Community Lunch is what it says - “for the community” - so please come 22

Following on from the successful re-roofing project reported last month, Saturday 22nd of September saw work commence on the rear wall of the Village Hall. This was to replace the existing cladding with new and at the same time to install insulation in the wall and above the kitchen ceiling. The materials and equipment were placed in the hall on the Friday afternoon to enable the volunteers to make an early start (8:00am). When stripping the old wood, we established that there were a few areas where the studwork behind needed to be reinforced, with one bottom corner that had been badly affected by damp. This all took extra time and it was the afternoon before we were actually able to start re-cladding. We managed to part-complete to above the door, leaving the rest for later in the week. By the time the clearing up was finished it was 7:30 pm. An 11½ hour day, hence the title! Thursday, Richard Groom, Nigel and myself returned to paint, touching up those areas that required a matching coat. Thanks not only to Colin Brown, Richard Groom and Richard Cromwell, but also to all the wives (who must have wondered when we were coming home), and to Nigel Thorpe who helped to complete the work on Wednesday and Thursday. David Pratt, Chairman From the Layham Archive We appealed last month for information about the photograph of a children’s Christmas party in Layham Village Hall. We heard from Ellie Fulcher who recognised her father Peter Clark (first boy on the left) and her aunt - Doreen Clark (the older girl to the right). Peter is 60 this year and Doreen (now Doreen Avenell) is 65 this year. They both still live in East Anglia. Their father was a farm worker and the family lived in several different tied cottages in Lower Layham over the years. For a time they lived in the thatched cottage on Lower Street between the Queen’s Head and Layham House when father worked for the owners of Layham House. Janet Blackwell (Nee Frisby) sent us a third photograph taken at the same table from the other side showing Peter Clark opposite four local girls – Left to Right - Janet Frisby, Rae Bullen, Doreen Gleed and Doreen Goode. Thank you to Ellie and Janet for their interest and help with names. If anyone reading this has any information on Layham History please contact our Village Local History Recorder Dee Byham on 01473 823277/ email johnbyham009@btinternet.com Generous legacies Many Layham people remember Jean and Arthur Vincent and Stuart Williamson with affection. They were all people who played full roles, in their different ways, in the life of the village. Jean often helped
with flower arrangements in St. Andrew’s Church and Arthur acted as internal auditor for the PCC. Arthur was also a Parish Councillor and, with his civil engineering skills, a very valuable member of the Village Hall Management Committee. Jean and Arthur lived for many years in Pump Cottage in Lower Layham before moving over to Watermill Close in Upper Layham. They spent their final years in sheltered housing near Haughley. They died within a few weeks of each other. Stuart farmed Hill Farm in Lower Layham. He was an active member of the congregation of St. Andrew’s and was a valued member of the PCC for many years as well as being churchwarden for around ten years until 1993. It was a regular expectation that Stuart would knock on the door every September to raise sponsorship for the Suffolk Historic Churches Bike Ride. He was also a member of the Playing Field Management Committee for many years and was a great worker during fund-raising activities and field maintenance sessions. Stuart suffered quite a long illness before his death – his last years being spent in Sidney Brown Court in Hadleigh. It is with deep gratitude that the PCC and the Village Hall Management Committee acknowledge the receipt of significant legacies from Jean and Arthur and the PCC and the Playing Field Management Committee from Stuart. It is pleasing that these residents developed such an attachment to their village that they made provision in their wills to help maintain institutions of which they were part.

Layham Playgroup Harvest Time The children have been celebrating Harvest at Playgroup recently. We have looked at different vegetables and have talked about where they grow.

We then took our box to the church for a special visit with Dean Thrower who met us and showed us all the Harvest decorations in the church. A big thank you from all of us at Playgroup for your time. We also had great fun making our scarecrow for the Scarecrow Festival in Layham, we hope you enjoyed finding them all around the village.

HADLEIGH TOWN COUNCIL Minutes of the Hadleigh Town Council Meeting held on the 20th September 2012 Present: Councillors M Munson (Town Mayor), Amin, Angland, Byrne, Clarke, Cook, Free, Grutchfield, Haylock, Matthews, L. Munson Nevard, Sheldrick and Whiting In attendance: PC. Matt Paisley (Suffolk Constabulary), Cllr Grandon (Babergh District Council), one member of the press and two members of the public. The meeting commenced with a presentation by Babergh District Council Officers on the Mid-Suffolk and Babergh Community Engagement 2012. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Councillor Lazenby (Deputy Mayor). This apology was accepted. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillor Whiting declared an interest in the General Power of Competence Grants as he is a Trustee of the Community Transport Group who had requested a grant. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Town Council held on the 19th July 2012 were confirmed and signed. MATTERS ARISING Policing Councillor Cook asked if there was any progress with the DPPO. The Clerk advised that a meeting was to be arranged with Paul Little of Babergh District Council. Matters Arising – Residents Playground Request The Clerk advised that four companies had been contacted to provide a quotation and suggested plan for this area of land. Approximately £15,000 of Section 106 monies has currently been allocated for this project. Planning Committee The meeting with Babergh District Council and other parishes had taken place this morning. A full report would be provided at the next Planning Meeting. Freemen This had been discussed by the Finance & Personnel Committee. The Clerk would be investigating the possibility of bestowing the title of Freemen or Alderman and reporting back to this Committee. Code of Conduct Councillors had been provided with amended sheets relating to the newly adopted Code of Conduct. Car Parks The Mayor reported on a recent meeting she had attended with the Town Clerk at Sudbury Town Council. There will be another meeting arranged sometime in October. It was felt that far more information and a more concise business plan from Sudbury Town Council was required before the matter would be brought to full Council for discussion. At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow the members of public to speak on the sale of ‘Mixers’ and the Jubilee Beacon. POLICING PC Matt Paisley presented the Police Reports for July and August. It was noted that 13 crimes had been recorded during July with 4 detected and 24 crimes had been recorded during August with 7 detected. The offences for both months comprised as follows: 9 thefts; 6 criminal damage; 3 driving motor vehicle with excess alcohol; 3 harassment; 3 burglaries; 2 minor wound without intent; 2 common assault; 1 possession class B drug; 1 arson; 1 drunk & disorderly; 1 cause an affray; 1 fear of provocation of violence; 1 message letter e.mail etc. indecent threat false; 1 fraud and 1 aggravated taking of motor vehicle. PC Paisley reported that this year 192 tickets have been issued. The Street Watch Scheme had got the full complement of volunteers, five of whom had passed the vetting system. The scheme is due to be launched on the 8th October 2012. The Lorry Watch Scheme will continue in Benton Street and has moved on following work with the DVLA to tighten up procedures. The Community Speed Watch Scheme has proved extremely successful and has assisted the Police in highlighting areas in the town where speeding needs to be dealt with. He has been working with Paul Little at Babergh District Council on the DPPO scheme which it is hoped should come into effect in Hadleigh later this year. He answered questions on the DPPO, arsons – which he advised that he has been working with the Safety Fire Officer on the psychology of fire starters – mobility scooters, specifically the speed at which they travel and sat nav’s directing traffic up Hook Lane. At the request of the Mayor the Hadleigh Beacon item was brought forward. HADLEIGH BEACON The Town Clerk had provided Councillors with a written report on the history of the Beacon and the events that had taken place leading up to and on the night it was lit as part of the national Jubilee Beacon scheme. This had become necessary following a Freedom of Information request by a resident and comments made to Councillors at the event. The resident felt that the small fire from the beacon could possibly set fire to his property or cause damage to his vehicles parked outside when the beacon had been lit. These concerns had been made to the Mayor at the event and as a gesture of goodwill the Mayor had agreed not to light the beacon for the Olympics and discuss the matter at a Town Council Meeting. It was noted from the report supplied that no incident had occurred on the night and that staff had ensured that all reasonable precautions had been taken. SALC had also confirmed that the Council had taken all reasonable steps to ensure a safe event and that they could see no problems with lighting the Beacon in the future. Councillors suggested that the beacon could possibly be moved either within the school grounds or to another site in the town (although it was pointed out that 24
Telephone Community News on 01473 823366
this would be an expensive option); the beacon stays where it is and is never lit; alternatives to real fire be looked into so that the beacon would appear lit. As no conclusion was agreed the Mayor advised that the subject would be discussed again in six months’ time allowing Councillors time to provide the Town Clerk with suggested sites and to investigate options. REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Councillor Riley had tendered his apologies. There were no written reports provided by the District Councillors as there was nothing pertinent to Hadleigh to report. Councillor Grutchfield reported that he had attended the Stewardship Committee this morning. Papers M80 and M81 were available on Babergh District Council’s website which may be of interest to Councillors. Councillor Cook asked if any of the District Councillors could investigate the cost of brown bins. She had been contacted by a resident who had paid £20 for one previously only to be advised that the cost had risen to £40. Councillor Cook raised an item from the East Anglian Daily Times which pointed out that 1 in 4 benefit claimants are processed incorrectly and the statistics provided in the article were alarming. She wanted to congratulate Councillor Riley on the stand he had taken on this matter. Could the District Councillors investigate these errors and report back? Councillor Haylock asked how much the new computer system installed for dealing with these processes had cost and had this been included in the integration costs? REPORT OF THE COUNTY COUNCILLOR Councillor Grutchfield had provided a written report. MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS The Clerk reported: i) The AGM of the Suffolk Association of Local Councils will be held on Monday 12th November 2012. Any councillors wishing to attend were asked to advise the Clerk. ii) A letter received from Hadleigh Hares advising that: a) Hadleigh 20 road race will take place on Sunday 25th November 2012 b) Hadleigh Cross Country Race will take place on Sunday 13th January 2013. iii) The advance notice of Babergh’s coppicing programme for winter 2012/13 had been received iv) The RSPCA statistics for 2011 showing a rise in animal cruelty were available in the office. v) Thank you letters for grants had been received from: a) Hadleigh Elderly People’s Welfare Committee b) CRY – Cardiac Risk in the Young and Mr & Mrs Phillips c) Hannah Farley d) Girlguiding UK ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £13,856.49 had been paid during the month of August 2012. It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £20,996.21 be approved for payment. PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 2nd August 2012 and 29th August 2012 were noted. Councillor Cook requested the District Councillor’s to make Babergh District Council aware of the strong feelings of Hadleigh Town Council and residents on the plans for East House. Councillor Cook advised that the Tesco Planning Application had been received and would be dealt with at the October Planning Committee Meeting. She advised members to visit the office and examine the box of papers prior to the meeting. FINANCE & PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 6th September 2012 was received and accepted. THREE MONTH BUDGET REPORT Councillors had been provided with a three month budget report by the Town Clerk. ENVIRONMENT & GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 6th September 2012 was received and accepted including their recommendation to pursue the deregulation of parking in Hadleigh. GENERAL POWER OF COMPETENCE GRANTS Grant requests had been received from the Hadleigh Community Transport Group towards purchasing a ticket machine and LED destination blind and from the Hadleigh Orchestra towards their increased hall rental costs. It was agreed to make a grant of £400 to the Hadleigh Community Transport Group. The Clerk was asked to write to Hadleigh Orchestra as paying for hall rental did not fall within the Council’s remit. BABERGH COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS 2013 This will be an item on the next agenda for Councillors to make nominations. TOWN MATTERS Councillor Cook reported on a meeting held with Steve Merry of Suffolk County Council regarding parking on Church Street. To get this moving it required £3,000 to cover advertising so that the Rights of Way Committee can discuss this next year. Would Hadleigh Town Council fund this?

MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 29th August 2012, were confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING Any Other Relevant Business The Chair read the response received from Babergh District Council regarding application no: B/11/00896/FUL – 109 High Street as to why a decision on this application was taking so long. They advised that the delay was largely due to the time taken to assess the impact of the development on adjoining listed buildings, especially Sun Court, and the conservation area. Additional information had been requested on the heritage statement and final comments were awaited from the Conservation Team. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/12/00285/LBC 100 Benton Street. Application for Listed Building Consent – Insertion of 2 no. replacement doors and 5 no. replacement windows as amended by agent’s letter dated 30 August 2012 and attached details. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous). B/12/00961/LBC 94 Benton Street. Application for Listed Building Consent – Insertion of liner to 2 no. chimneys of west wing and close top of flue to upstairs hearth. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous). B/12/01074/FHA 1 The Green. Erection of 1.5 metre high side boundary fence (retention of). Approval was recommended (Voting was 6 for; 2 against and 1 abstention). Approval was given subject to Highways approval as concerns were raised over traffic visibility being restricted by the fence. Additional: B/12/01031/FHA 33 Edwin Panks Road. Erection of single-storey side conservatory. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/12/010807/FUL 20 Woodthorpe Road. Erection of detached dwelling. Approval was recommended (Voting was 9 for and 1 abstention). Approval was given subject to consideration of the house in conjunction/relation to the street scene. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS Questions relating to planning matters had been raised by Peter Burrows, Head of Economy for Babergh and Mid-Suffolk District Councils pertaining to the community engagement programme which are listed below with the responses made by this committee: 1. Planning Officers have to determine applications against current planning policies, are these existing policies delivering for your community? • If not what policies would you like to see revised/created? Hadleigh Town Council would ask that they be kept up to date with revisions or deleted policies. • Will you be creating a Neighbourhood Plan? Hadleigh Town Council will be creating a Neighbourhood Plan 2. Delivering economic growth and meeting local needs and demands is crucial to the well being of our communities • How would you like our planning team to work with you to try and achieve this? To be more assiduous in meeting/communicating/consulting at the earliest opportunity before decisions are taken. Communication was felt to be essential. It was felt that the views made by this committee were not valued.
3. Pre-application advice is seen as a fundamental area for service improvement in application timescales and quality. We feel that the involvement of the Parish Council in Pre-application discussions can be critical. • How could we engage with you more effectively in Pre-application discussions? Not having previously been involved, Hadleigh Town Council would welcome any opportunity to participate in the pre-application process. There would need to be liaison between planners and the Town Clerk over which applications this would apply to i.e. we would not see a need to be involved necessarily in every minor application (such as conservatories or extensions). • How much time would you normally allocate to this process? This question was impossible to answer as there was no previous experience to draw on. 4. What should a transformed planning service deliver? Confidence – especially in the light of proposed changes to planning law. 5. To help control costs, and in order to make applications, plans and decisions available as quickly and as widely as is possible we need to move our communications and documents to the internet as far as is possible. • How could you get a real benefit from this and help us do it without making it inconvenient for you? Hadleigh Town Council would be quite happy to receive documents, reports etc via the internet but our experiment in paper-free Planning Meetings was not a success. It was difficult to see the whole of large plans at one time. Objections on Babergh’s website – as appear on Mid-Suffolk’s would be most useful as Hadleigh Town Council had not been made aware of these in the past so their recommendations had not been able to take these into account. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The Chair reported on the meeting held on the 20th September 2012. The meeting wasn’t purely on Neighbourhood Plans but more a general meeting on how Babergh District Council could help towns to develop what we and they had to do to work together. It was a positive meeting and hopefully communication between the Councils should improve. Councillor Byrne asked when the consultation period could begin on the Neighbourhood Plan. The Chair advised that there is another meeting due to be held in October and once the results of these meetings are received the process can begin. The Clerk was asked to keep residents advised through the Community News of details of the Neighbourhood Plan process. MIXERS Members discussed the letter that had been presented by the owner at the last Town Council Meeting. The Clerk was asked to write a letter to Babergh District Council (copy to all Councillors) asking them to review the policies on change of use especially where it states that a property must stand empty for one year before a change of use can be implemented. It was felt that if it could be proved that the property had been marketed for sale over a period of time there should be dispensation from leaving a property empty. Could there be a variation on existing policies regarding change of use? B/12/00683/FUL BUY RIGHT, CALAIS STREET Erection of extension to create stock handling area B/12/00191/FUL POND HALL BARN, POND HALL ROAD Erection of wind turbine Members noted that these two applications had been withdrawn. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.20pm Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

THE HADLEIGH SOCIETY Caring about Hadleigh, yesterday, today and tomorrow
Dear Mr Durrant, Application No: B/12/01052/ FUL Retail development site rear of 75-133 High Street (inc. former Brett Works), Bridge Street, Hadleigh. The Hadleigh Society is dedicated to supporting the preservation and enhancement of Hadleigh as a place. It is a very special place, as has been endorsed in many surveys, reports and designations. The character of our town derives from its historic buildings, its lively high street trade and its setting in the landscape. We welcome change where it complements, enhances and supports these features and we accept change that does not impact on them. The latest proposal from Tesco will damage the character of Hadleigh in its landscape setting and its impact on existing patterns of trading. If the proposal brought with it some compensating advantages it might be argued that the net value were positive, but when there is not any vestige of a need for another convenience store we won’t be forgiven for spoiling the town in this way. The NPPF does not require that the Local Plan be followed where there has been a material change. The site was designated on the basis of a retail need. That need no longer exists so the plan is irrelevant to this application, and indeed, the application is irrelevant to the town. Just as we have done in response to previous applications, we can identify in more detail our reasons for objection, as follows:Retail need: The proposed Tesco store, according to Babergh and Tesco retail assessment is intended to fill a missing capacity for convenience goods. However the Morrisons store, which will be opening in the New Year, doubles your assessed need, therefore another store of the size proposed by Tesco is untenable.
HERE THEY COME AGAIN!
Traffic: With Morrisons in Calais Street and the proposed Tesco entrance in Bridge Street the north end of the High Street, Bridge Street and Calais Street corner (Cox’s corner) will not be able to cope with the traffic causing massive backlogs on all through roads. The greater part of town’s population, plus the villages to the south of the town, will have to use the High Street to get to either of the stores. We note that when the company undertaking the traffic assessment for Tesco spoke with the Chamber of Commerce they admitted that their instructions from Tesco were not to evaluate the traffic at Cox’s corner. Traffic queued at these junctions, particularly in the High Street will increase noise and light pollution, but it should be remembered that the majority of the houses beside which the traffic will be queuing are listed properties, false fronted medieval houses which do not have solid foundations and will be damaged by the vibrations from the traffic, particularly the heavy vehicles. Lorries servicing the Co-op and the town centre shops have to use the Gallows Hill lorry route. Vehicle access and Safety: The lorry route via Gallows Hill is difficult with chicaned parking on Gallows Hill, the tight bend by the White Hart and the access on the Bridge. We noted that in the County Traffic Assessment there was mention of a ‘momentary black spot’, but it was not considered dangerous. We would suggest that a momentary black spot on a bridge has the potential to be lethal. The present High Street: From all that we read in the press and see for ourselves elsewhere, Hadleigh has retained a lively, viable High Street, with the majority of the shops owned by ‘local’ people, and a lot selling local goods. Closure of any of these shops will lose full and part time jobs which are not replaced by the type of employment offered by the supermarket chains. The income into our small shops stays within the town, as opposed to the greater part of the income from the superstores. Babergh should be proud of having a viable High Street in one of its towns. A High Street that is not requiring ‘Mary Portas’ or Government help. Tesco in their first application said that the town centre shops would suffer a 17% reduction in trade, their 2011 application reduced it to 10%, and this current application suggests they will not affect the High Street shops' trading levels. We see no evidence across the country of small retailers surviving elsewhere in the country. The Co-op has been trading in the town centre for over 120 years and because of its site increases the footfall to our small shops, and because of its trading ethos helps the small food shops who live in harmony with it. Public Opinion Over the 14 years that Tesco have been hovering over Hadleigh, it has been well noted in petitions, letters and polls that the overwhelming view of the public in Hadleigh and surrounding villages is against a supermarket on the riverside site. This view was supported at the last 2011 planning meeting when Councillor Arthey made the comment that although 90% of the population are against the building of a supermarket on the Brett Works/ Riverside site this was not relevant to the planning application. We suggest that with current Government views of involving the community in decisions, that a 90% majority is very relevant. Future: With the time limit imposed on the application and the vast amount of documentation to be read and investigated, this letter of objection is a ‘preliminary’ objection. The Society is taking Legal and Professional advice particularly on the Retail and Traffic documentation, and may well wish to send in further information in support of our objection. Yours sincerely, JAN BYRNE, Chair

Autumn at Orchard Barn On 21st September, 14 foragers from the local community together with volunteers from OBee CIC went on a guided walk to look out for edible plants/fruits/berries in the vicinity of Orchard Barn. English Heritage food historian Monica Askay expertly guided us, helping us to find a wide variety of free edibles in the hedgerows and verges, from the obvious blackberries and sloes to a less well-known clump of horseradish. As the season progresses towards winter we are looking forward to continuing with our hedge renovation. Anyone who would like to join us as a volunteer and learn how to "lay" a hedge in a traditional way will be most welcome. Not only will you be able to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of Orchard Barn, but you will go home with the skills to renovate/lay your own hedging using a totally traditional approach, with the added bonus of being much cheaper than buying in fencing. Contact Sarah if this appeals to you (see below). Also, as some of you may be aware, OBee Community Interest Company are celebrating our 5th birthday as a CIC by holding a Barn Dance in Offton and Willisham Village Hall on 24 November. We hope you can join us for live music and an Auction of Promises. Please bring food to share. Tickets £5 in advance from Sarah (see below) For more information about our courses and programme of events, including those mentioned above, please visit www.orchardbarn.org.uk or email sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk or phone 01473-658193 / 07766054042

Fidelis Activity News After The Ipswich Murders “Eliminate prostitution from the streets of Ipswich”. That was the daunting task given to Detective Superintendent Alan Caton (photo) of the Suffolk Police following the dark, disturbing days of the Ipswich murders in 2006. Having looked at every aspect of the problem, Alan Caton and his team put together the Prostitution and Sexual Exploitation Strategy in which the police would adopt a non-judgmental approach towards the women themselves, but were far more punitive to the men trying to enlist their services. Using the latest technology, kerb crawlers were caught red handed and, as a result, several traditionally busy streets became quiet residential areas. Turning to the sex workers themselves the police first considered their underlying problems which were complex and frequently drug related. A multi-agency team was developed to include the police, probation service, NHS & social care staff, the local councils. Appropriate members of this team offered one to one assistance to the girls and their offspring. They continued to support them throughout their long and often tortuous journey through rehab until they no longer depended on prostitution. The University of East Anglia were asked to assess the scheme in May 2012 and their findings were positive, complimentary and encouraging. They even suggested that this innovative approach could be a blueprint for other areas in the country. A progress report on the Strategy quotes “The overall aim of having no street prostitution in Ipswich was realised in 2008, although support to women who have been affected by Class A drugs and prostitution over a number of years will need long-term support”. In spite of this apparent success Alan Caton and his team are well aware that there is no room for complacency and the ‘joined up’ approach involving all the relevant agencies must continue if they are to eradicate the need for prostitution in Ipswich. A donation was made to Alan’s chosen charity “Missing People”.

LUNCH BUNCH GOES VEGGIE Meat eaters and veggie sceptics would wonder how anyone could run a successful foodies’ establishment without a hint of animal flesh on the menu. Well, The Red Lion Veggie Pub at Great Bricett has done just that and Fidelis lunch bunchers were more than happy to witness the imaginative alternatives. There was plenty of choice in all courses on the main menu and an attractive light bite menu of the day at £5.90; all were served with generous portions of hot vegetables. Diners marvelled at the chef’s creative use of mushrooms, aubergine and nuts and the puddies would give Nigella or Delia a run for their money. Jan Devey

Open Evening This month we were pleased to welcome nearly 200 Year 5 and 6 pupils and their families to our annual Open Evening. We were delighted that over 400 of our pupils volunteered to help our visitors on the evening as guides in the classroom as well as throughout the school site. Many of our visitors commented on our pupils’ positive attitudes towards their learning as well as the high levels of confidence and interpersonal skills which they possess. They were also impressed by the level of pride pupils showed in their school, their manners and the high quality of their work. Popular activities on the night included walking on custard and making slime in science, attending a tea party with some of history's most significant characters and decorating Aztec pots in Art. In MFL guests were transported to Boulogne where they could relax at a French café or sample the delights of continental cuisine at the market place. Visitors were also given a “goody bag” which they could fill with items they had made including pop cakes in Food Technology and money boxes and door signs in Graphics and Resistant Materials. One of the young visitors to our school, Molly Smith, said, “It was a great evening. We had so much fun. There was too much to do. I wanted to visit all of the areas and ran out of time. I could have stayed all night.” Over the last 2 weeks members of our Leadership Team have been touring parents and prospective pupils around the school so they are able to see lessons in action. We are pleased that parents are able to recognise the high quality of learning which our pupils experience and their comments that they wish that they had had such engaging opportunities when they attended school! Duke of Edinburgh The Duke of Edinburgh award scheme has always been popular at Hadleigh High, but never has it been as popular as it has been this term. 53 Year 10 students, the most the school has entered, have begun working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award this term and all are already beginning to benefit from the skills they are developing. At the centre of the Duke of Edinburgh award is the expedition, and the preceding practice expeditions. Although the weather didn’t favour the first training camp, those on the second had good weather, not that rain reduced the enjoyment of any of the participants! Two students, both on the second training camp, said this about the weekend: “It was a brilliant new experience and brilliant fun too. We cooked, navigated and planed everything, but still managed to burn the pasta!” The final practice before the assessed expedition will be taking place across two weekends, in October and April. The students will be carrying everything they need for over 15km on a route near Sizewell.
House System Hadleigh High School now has a new House System, in which all of the years are involved. The idea came from the Harry Potter series, but instead of Gryffindor, we have Morris! There are 6 ‘Houses’: Toppesfield, Oswald, Duncan, Ansell, Guthrum and Morris. The system was designed in July and put into place in September. Since its dawn, Morris have been storming ahead with over 700 points, and Toppesfield following closely behind. The house names are all the names of famous people related to Hadleigh. We wish all the years the 30
Telephone Community News on 01473 823366
best of luck and we look forward to hearing who is the winner of the House Cup at the end of the year! College Open Evenings Our Year 11s have received letters regarding Open Evenings at colleges and sixth forms in the area, some of which are Colchester Institute, Colchester Sixth Form, Suffolk One, Suffolk New, Otley, Northgate and many more. We wish the Year 11s the best of luck when applying for a place! Inter Schools Show Jumping Team Hadleigh High School entered their first ever show jumping team competition last weekend with amazing success. The team consisted of Emma Chapman Year 8, Charlotte Cutler Year 9 and Lili Fitzgerald Year 11 and they made Hadleigh High School proud. Unfortunately we were missing one team member, Harriet Cutler Year 11 as her pony was unable to compete, but in spite of this she came along to support the team. With only 3 team members and therefore no possibility of a discard score, all three girls had to do their very best which they certainly did. They all jumped clear over a very long 80cm show jumping course, and then had to nominate one teammate to complete a shortened and timed jump off course. Charlotte Cutler duly performed a faultless round, but unfortunately was beaten by a few seconds by a pupil from St Josephs College, to secure 2nd place for Hadleigh High. This was a fantastic result for the team. Also Charlotte then competed as an individual in the 90cm class, taking 4th place in a class of nearly 20 competitors. All the girls and their horses looked very smart and professional wearing their Hadleigh High School colours. Congratulations to the whole team on their brilliant achievement. iPads Recently, the Humanities department has invested in 30 iPads as a trial run to see how much it improves learning. Research suggests that one of the many reasons for investing in these is that the world is increasing reliant on technology, consequently many occupations are changing to become more technology based. Schools around the world are using iPads to try and improve students’ learning. This enables them to discover more about the subjects in a variety of different ways! Motor Madness Recently a Year seven student, George Grigg-Pettitt, participated in a National Motorbike competition; he did excellently and came 3rd. He thoroughly enjoys the sport and has been doing it since he was 6. He started on a quad bike and then progressed to a motorbike. He is very committed and trains every Saturday. We wish the best of luck and hope that he continues at this great level. Music Workshop On the Thursday 11th October around 20 pupils from Hadleigh High School got invited to a music workshop that was situated on the edge of Essex. The workshops included a variety of warm-ups, breathing exercises, different classical music pieces and the students were taught different techniques which they could use to improve their musical ability. Furthermore the pupils were also taught how to play different pieces of folk music alongside the classical music. The two professional musicians had told the pupils about a Christmas oratorio they had been planning and many of the pupils have signed up to help them with that. Overall the day was a great success and the pupils really enjoyed themselves. New Foreign Language Assistants Following on from the positive impact of our foreign language assistants
last year, we are pleased to confirm that we will have two new assistants this year. They arrived last week and they have been kind enough to share the following details with us: Cindy Le Mentec is our French assistant and comes from Nantes in western France. She is currently a student at the University of Nantes. Cindy is studying sociology and intends to study for a master’s degree once she has spent the year with us helping our pupils improve their skills in French Jenny Jurchivici comes from Essen in Germany. She has just finished studying at the University of Duisburg where she trained as a teacher. Before she starts her career, she is spending a year with us to gain experience of life and work in England Both of them will be in MFL lessons throughout the school. Open Evening Open evening was a great success, with people from all years lending a hand. In the music department there were lots of things to do and hear, from African Drumming to musical Twister; parents and children visiting the school were never bored. Miss Macey, (the head of the Music Department) agrees with this. She says: “Everything went really well on Open Evening, and there was a lot to do on the night. We had some excellent pupil helpers, many of whom showed great leadership! Overall, we had a lot of positive feedback from both parents and children, who were really involved with the night’s activities.” During the night, we had many pupil guides, who had come back to school to show parents and children around for the night. They helped show the visitors all the different areas of the school. We asked what it was like to be a guide. “It was lovely to see how happy the Year 6s were, as they experienced what the school had to offer.”
School Productions: Othello This production has been coming on very well and on Thursday 18th October the students will be performing it at Jerwood Dance House in Ipswich. This has been a very big opportunity for students at Hadleigh High School, as a chance to perform in front of 200 people doesn’t come around often. The pupils have been able to take control of the performance and be able to shape it into their own creation. Guys and Dolls Mr Day says: “The production is coming along very well and we’ve really been focusing on improving our actor’s accents! We are performing during the last week of the February half term so come along if possible!” Year 8 Football Fixtures Here at Hadleigh High School, we are very proud of some of the talent shown our sports department. Recently our Year 8 football team has been doing very well with an impressive 100% success rate in their league fixtures. On the 9th of October, the team played Felixstowe Academy, the final score was 3-2 to Hadleigh. Hadleigh’s second victory was in a match against East Bergholt when the team one 2-0. We interviewed Callum Jeffery who participated in the matches and he said that he was very proud of his team and that he thought that they did very well in their first couple of matches. Callum also told us about a cup match on the 17th October 2012 which he was very optimistic about. We would like to congratulate everyone who participated in the fixtures. Keep up the good work. Poets in the making Poet Kenneth Steven visited Hadleigh High last Friday to offer some of our Year 7 students a chance to develop their creative skills. 18 students had the opportunity to learn more about Kenneth’s writing before getting a chance, under his guidance, to complete their own poems. This opportunity was part of a project, organized by Head Teacher of St Mary’s, Andrew Frolish, which saw the poet also working with other local primary schools.
Walter Wright
“The parents asked a lot of questions which made me think about the school.” “Amazing! I hope to do it again next year.” The Science Department got hands on with experiments and goo! There was something in every room for pupils to enjoy, so if they got tired of making sherbet (in S6) or playing the steady hand game (in S2), they could watch some lungs be inflated (in S3) or make bubbles (in S5)! The staff excited the pupils with the different activities, but for most there wasn’t enough time to do everything! “Pupils defiantly got involved and thoroughly enjoyed it! It stuck in their mind, so they would remember all the activities they did. I think it encouraged them to pick our school in September, because they’ll never forget how much fun they had in Science!” (Mrs Baker) In general, both children and parents had a wonderful time walking around our school. The parents have the information they need thanks to the talks in the drama hall about what we do, and the children had the time of their lives! Thanks to the brilliant outcome of Open Evening and the incredible help from the students, we will hopefully be seeing a lot of excited Year 7s in September.

News from St Mary’s School
We have been delighted to host lots of visitors, who have supported our Worship so far this term. Philip Mann, Ian Copeman, Helen Matter, Pastor Greg Frost and Reverend Jim Dalgleish have all talked to the children about the theme of ‘Friendship’, supporting this positive message with stories from the Bible. Also, thanks to David and Wendy Atkins, who presented a wonderful talk about their travels in Fuji. The children were fascinated to see all the photos and objects they brought back with them. Kenneth Steven, a poet and children’s writer from Scotland, spent two days working with talented writers from around the pyramid of schools. He gave readings of his poems and answered lots of very thoughtful questions about being a writer. After studying his poems in depth, the children were then inspired to write their own poetry on the theme of autumn. This was a great opportunity and we were very pleased to play host to Kenneth. Thanks must go to the Suffolk Poetry Society, which helped to organise and pay for the event. Children throughout the school have spent lots of time producing creative work on the theme of ‘Harvest’. Lots of parents and Governors attended a Harvest celebration in school, during which the children presented poetry and fantastic art work. This was a chance to share the Harvest songs the children have enjoyed learning. In particular, the caring, thoughtful prayers for Harvest written by the Year 6 children were really impressive. Special thanks to the children who represented the school at the Harvest Service at St Mary’s Church. This was a fun, interactive service that made the children really appreciate the wonderful world around us. We all enjoyed exploring various fruits and vegetables using all of our senses. Once again, the children were pleased to have the opportunity to present their Harvest work. The Year 6 pupils have just returned from their annual residential trio to Aylmerton in Norfolk. The trip is a wonderful experience and helps to develop children’s independence and team skills. There were lots of activities to support the curriculum, including studying habitats and coastal erosion. Happisburgh was a particularly fascinating place to visit: it was amazing to see where the houses have toppled over the eroding cliffs and all the old sea defences. The children also enjoyed the boat trip to see the seals at Blakeney Point and the walk through the marshes – completely new experiences for our children! Of course, the children enjoyed the fun sessions in the evenings too, especially the bowling and swimming. Once again, we were delighted with the food and accommodation – the children stayed at The Pleasaunce, overlooking the sea. We are already looking forward to going again next year! Welcome to all our new staff members! Mrs Seed has started teaching in Year 3, Miss Amin is a teaching assistant in the Early Years and Mrs Blackburn is our new administrative assistant. Also, we are pleased to welcome our new Deputy Headteacher, Mr Coombs, who is teaching in Year 6. The children have been especially impressed with his singing and piano playing!

The Christmas party season is just around the corner! Are you excited or are you dreading it? Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to feel glamorous in your party dress? Or does your stomach sink at the thought of finding something to wear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that also makes you feel lovely? Did you promise yourself a new outfit when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lost another stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? Are you having trouble motivating yourself? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic - perhaps you need a new approach with a Diet Consultant of your own to discuss the ups, downs & emotions involved in losing weight, give you lots of tips and loads of encouragement. Someone who wants to help you not just lose weight, but to get rid of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; forever! All of that can be yours when you embark on the Cambridge Weight Plan. You could even lose more than a stone before Christmas and drop a dress size or two! What a fabulous gift to yourself and a great incentive to keep it off in the New Year! Some people find it helps to have a friend to diet with. A bit of competition can mean you push yourself a bit harder, strive to be the best you can be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also great to have a friend who understands what you might be feeling and support you on a bad day. As the saying goes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-one said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy but it will definitely be WORTH ITâ&#x20AC;?! Cambridge Weight Plan is a nutritionally complete programme involving meal replacement products but can include â&#x20AC;&#x153;real foodâ&#x20AC;? if you prefer. The programme can be tailored to suit you and your lifestyle, taking into account any medical conditions, medication and your exercise levels.

News from Whatfield School We have had a delightful first half term of the year, and welcomed all our new Reception children, who have settled very well. Last week saw us celebrating â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Apple Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Lucy Redman, by pressing juice, printing with apples and cooking pies in our lovely kitchen. We picked blackberries from our field, and made fantastic apple and blackberry crumble to take home. We even found a home for the apple pulp, as one of our parents keeps pigs.

This term we were also pleased to meet Amy Nettleton from the charity â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just Differentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, who came to work with us and discuss practical elements of life as a disabled person. She showed the children how to play wheelchair basketball, as well as answering questions the children raised. We sadly said goodbye to Simon King, from Babergh, who has come into school for the last time this term to teach multisports, tag rugby and how to use kangoo boots! (We have a feeling the children have now decided what they would like for Christmas). We wish Mr King well in his new post. Our next venture is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;French CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Open Morning which we hope interested friends will support by coming to tour the school, and sharing a cup of coffee, croissants and other French delicacies during the morning of Tuesday 13th November. Please make a note in your diary, and if you would like to come along, phone the school, or just pop in between 9.30 and 12 am. Only basic French is required! Lynne Golding, Headteacher

It’s along the Railway walk!

The Bindweeds (Bell-bine) These are one of those plants that you’ll walk past without giving a second thought. They’re so persistent that in the past all anyone could do was to complain - there was no way of getting rid of it. It is only recent times that herbicides have been developed that will deal with it. The flowers “track the sun” during the day, but if you walk along the Railway in the evenings you probably won’t see much of them because they close-up at night. There are three varieties native to the UK but only two of them are to be found along the Railway. The third is a very pretty version growing coastal areas. Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) As the name implies this grows mainly in open spaces (fields and wasteland) and used to be one of those weeds that farmers dreaded because they had no way of dealing with it. It climbs to around 0.6 metres (2 Ft) by ”twiddling” itself anti-clockwise round others, and has such dense foliage it is quite capable of suffocating the supporting plant. If there are no other plants around, it will form a small mound covered in flowers. These are about the size of a 10p coin (See photo) and although they are usually pink and white, (as in the photo) they can have varying amounts of colour and even be pure white. It’s difficult to destroy on two counts. One is its deep root system. The plant generally forms a single root that goes into the ground several metres (as much as 4-5 metres - 15 feet in some soils) with a “crown” just under the surface. If it happens to be growing in cultivated ground each time the plant is disturbed (digging or ploughing) the problem worsens because it breaks the main underground stem. This doesn’t bother the plant unduly – it just forms a new “crown” at the deeper level and sends up shoots from there. The newly broken upper part or the underground stem then forms another deep root and next year you have it two plants to tackle. The second is the seeds! Each plant can produce several hundred small seeds which simply lie in the soil waiting to be moved about on farm equipment and animal’s feet. Some experts say that under reasonable conditions these can survive for up to 40 years. There’s no way round it! Once you’ve got Field Bind Weed the problem won’t go away without modern herbicides Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium) You can’t miss this one. The flowers are pure white trumpets about 75mm (3 inches) across, and you’ll see them facing the sun above a carpet of green in the hedgerows. The farmers didn’t like this plant either, because it grows in the hedges where they couldn’t get at it. It spreads by an ever-expanding root system lying just under the surface of the soil. These are pearly white, about the diameter of a pencil, and are very brittle. All the farm equipment did was to break them into pieces, each of which had the potential to grow into a new plant. The only saving grace is that the plant dislikes disturbance and doesn’t set much seed. During the spring the plants grows very rapidly - several centimetres each day is not unusual – and, like it’s counterpart the Field Bindweed, it climbs by “twiddling” it’s self around things. It’s the leaves that pose the worst threat to other plants. They’re heart shaped, as large as your hand and form a complete covering of everything they climb, shutting out the sun and choking everything beneath. If it’s in your garden it may be possible to dig out the mass of roots to destroy it, but if it’s in a hedge: - there’s no chance of beating it. Even today when we can control it, if you own even the smallest piece of land there’s a very good chance that you are the owner of a bindweed plant. Mick T

Foster Carers needed to look after older children East Bergholt based Eastern Family Services (EFS) is a local fostering agency looking to recruit foster carers and, in particular, we would like to hear from people who would be interested in caring for children aged over 10. Over 50% of children in care are aged over 10 and currently there is a shortage of foster carers in the area who can provide safe and nurturing homes for these young people. It is a common myth that younger children can be more rewarding to care for and our experience is that older children are often misunderstood and not given a chance! In recruiting carers who can support and care for an older child we hope to give them a unique opportunity to find the right path in life as they grow towards adulthood and independence. If you are interested in finding out more about fostering, please give us a call on 01206 299775 or contact us through our website www.easternfamilyservices.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Anna’s BIG Ugandan Adventure Last year I was selected to visit Uganda with GirlGuiding UK. I worked for the charity ‘Watering Roots’ who aim to ‘Empower, Embrace, Educate and Equip’ people to tackle poverty and injustice in their community. I learnt to seal woodwork to keep out termites; created diagrams for the classroom; organised activities for the children; learnt to brick lay and delivered wheelchairs and food parcels to isolated communities. It was an unforgettable experience and once again I’d like to thank all those who supported me. I have been asked to return to Uganda from January until June and have decided the main aim of this trip is to serve the people I meet. Once again I will be working in Busembatia with the local schools which will hopefully provide opportunities to set up groups for young people in a culture where children are often overlooked. I’ll also spend time in Kampala where I’ll work with the African Prisons Project, fighting for justice and the right to a fair trial, while supporting families of those in prison. Moreover, I’m hoping to help at a school for the deaf and have agreed to run some Scripture Union Bible studies. My plans are, however, subject to change, as African culture is very relaxed, so if you know of anything of interest, please let me know. Currently I’m working as a teaching assistant 2 days a week to fund my trip but am also looking for casual work until January, so would be interested to hear if you would like work doing, for example; babysitting, cleaning, dog walking etc. If you would like to find out more or make a donation please have a look at my blog, http://annajgordon.wordpress.com/, or call 07539 230080.

St. Mary’s Cafe Church Fundraising Day for Macmillan On Friday 28th September, St. Mary’s Church was overflowing with people worshipping, chatting over breakfast baps and coffee, shopping at the lovely stalls selling beautiful handbags, hats, crafts, jewellery, pretty things for the home, pre-loved items and home-made cakes. The raffles and tombola did a roaring trade too! Many of those who just ‘popped in’, stayed for their lunch and more coffee and cake! Because of the generosity of local shops and businesses, the kind people who stocked and manned the stalls and the helpers who gave up their time to bake and serve the meals, we were able to pay an amazing £1,550.00 into Macmillan’s account! So thank you everyone who helped to make this possible. It’s such a worthwhile charity offering the highest standard of care to those suffering from cancer and their families.

Swallows continued to pass through during the first two weeks of October although numbers were smaller than in September. Several groups of 40-60+ were seen in many areas. Housemartin numbers were greater, with 200+ feeding over Holbecks Park on 4th & 5th October, and 300+ over Benton End, Hadleigh on the 7th. Pied Wagtail numbers have been on the increase with 200+ feeding on the field opposite Oxford Close and 300+ on the fields around Hadleigh Sewer Works. Keep an eye out for the Pied Wagtails that go to roost behind the Co-op, Grey Wagtail photographed by Peter Cutts in the drained river bed at they can be seen building up in Toppesfield Bridge, Hadleigh numbers before dusk. The odd Grey Wagtail and Meadow Pipit can also be seen amongst them. Two Stonechats were often seen perched on the short hedge beside the footpath near Potts Cottage, Layham from the 10th October. Flying west over Wolves Lane on 10th were 27 Common Redpolls. Several small flocks of Siskins have also been seen in many areas. It is 25 years since we had the great storm on 16th October 1987, the most eerie thing I can remember was that for 2 days prior to the storm there was very little birdlife around. It appeared very quiet, only 3 days before (12th & 13th) there were a few hundred Fieldfares and Redwings with many Blackbirds, Song Thrush, Goldcrests and Meadow Pipit as well as large flocks of Swallows and Housemartins in the Hadleigh area. But 2 days before the hurricane winds arrived the birds appeared to have moved on. There is no doubt in my mind that our birds knew the storms were heading towards the UK. It is a known fact that migrant species will move on before any bad weather moves in, but many of the young birds will have been caught out. There are three species of woodland birds that I believe have never recovered since the storms, Willow Tit, Tree Sparrow and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. All three nest in holes in tree. The Willow Tit using soft rotten wood. With over 15 million trees coming down during the great storm this must have reduced the nesting habitat for these three species. It was the east and south east that were worst affected and it is in these areas that the Willow Tit, Tree Sparrow and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker have seen the first decline in the UK (but this is only in my opinion), not others. As always if you see anything interesting or want a bird identified I would be please to hear from you - email jerry@keithavis.co.uk

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (12) Judi Dench leads an all-star cast in this gentle but sweet natured film about British seniors in India. Although the film critics did not respond enthusiastically, the great British public have taken it to their hearts and it is easy to see why. The film is clearly targeted at audiences in or past middle age and the film's leading characters are aged 60+ - Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup. The plot centres around our British retirees who travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel – unfortunately less luxurious than the adverts led them to believe! The Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways. Brutal truths about declining years, loneliness or financial woes are amply padded with comedy and cheery messages of acceptance. This is therefore no bitter film pill to swallow! Friday 23rd November at 7.30 pm
WAR HORSE (12) This is a spectacular, tear-jerking, upIifting film – in short a Steven Spielberg masterpiece! Critics and the public regard WAR HORSE as one of the greatest equine entertainments of the cinema simply because the film has drive, fine acting and brilliant cinematography. The story is about a thoroughbred horse called Joey who is bought by a tenant farmer and trained to pull a plough. When World War 1 starts, the family is forced to sell Joey to a keen young Army captain who takes the horse into battle. The film charts Joey's life in battle ending at the Somme. Spielberg never loses control of the horse's story, or the human one. The verdict of WAR HORSE is that it is a moving masterpiece. Our patrons might therefore find it beneficial to have a spare hanky at the ready! Entrance to each film is £3.50 on the door (£2.50 for accompanied children).

Maths at the Movies When has school ever been such fun? Now the children are expected to watch films as part of their lessons! In fact, ‘Maths at the Movies’ fortnight is tying in with National Schools Film Week to encourage schools to use well known films as a stimulus for learning. Therefore Year 6, for example, will be watching ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, which will lead to work designing chocolate boxes, working out percentages of ingredients, planning adverts to promote a new kind of chocolate bar, etc. There may even have to be a bit of chocolate tasting! The idea has been embraced throughout the school, with the films ‘Pingu’, ‘Shrek’, ‘Monsters Inc.’, and ‘Finding Nemo’ - along with a few others, being used. What a great way to encourage enthusiasm for learning! Charity work continues Our parents and children are always very supportive of the charities we promote and we were delighted last year when we were able to raise over £3000 to support the work of NSPCC and Childline. We recently received a certificate which confirmed the final amount we donated as a school – a staggering £3,865.71! Pastor Greg Frost took our Harvest assembly on Monday 8th October, and the tables in the hall were heaving under the weight of all the cans and packets of non perishable foods which had been donated. These were then taken to the Baptist Church, where they were finally transported to FIND, a charity which supports local families. We are looking forward to our Samaritan’s Purse assembly in the last week of the half term, and hope that, once again, children will be able to fill shoeboxes with gifts for children in other countries who have suffered war or other forms of deprivation. We are so grateful for all of the support we receive, which adds to the caring ethos of our school. New Reception area During the summer holiday, the Reception classes were transformed into a purpose built Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) unit. This enabled our new Reception children to join us at the start of term and to learn in a wonderful new unit, where the very best EYFS provision can take place. The construction work was completed on time and without any major issues. We are very grateful to the building company, ‘Abacus’ for their professionalism. We now have a beautiful light and airy unit, with quiet areas for reading and relaxing, a kitchen, bright class bases, a large and safe outdoor classroom and plenty of colourful and appealing toilet cubicles with a large area of washbasins. Important information re admission into school: If you have a child born between 1 September 2008 and 31 August 2009, you need to apply for a school place by 15 January 2013, even if your child is already attending a nursery class or a pre-school. We will be sending packs out to all parents registered with us by the end of November. If you wish to receive a pack then please do contact us. Alternatively, why not come along to our open week – see advert below. Invitation to view the school for prospective parents Open week – Monday 12th to Thursday 17th November Would you like to view our school and see what we can offer you and your child? Our Headteacher, Neil Jackson, would like to invite prospective parents to tours of the school at 10 a.m. on any of the days above. Please contact the school to register your interest. 01473 822161 Email : office@hadleigh-pri.suffolk.sch.uk

‘Electrifying’ News from Miss Lesley A coach of 55 excited students and parents left Bildeston headed to the Regent Theatre in Ipswich for Miss Lesley's School of Performing Arts first school outing to see the musical Grease. Once seated at the theatre, the children in their bright school t-shirts, looked like a ray of sunshine! Danny Bayne, star of Grease Goody bags were with MLSPA Students provided which kept everyone amused, fed and watered until the show commenced. The children all danced in their seats to classic songs such as Greased Lightnin', Summer Nights and the Hand-Jive! At the end of the show, the trip was made extra special by Danny Bayne, who plays the lead role of Danny Zuko and was the overall winner of ITV's Grease is the Word, coming out to meet all the students to sign autographs and have pictures taken. MLSPA students have also recently completed a Dance-A-Thon - raising money for Kathy Stapleton and Fiona Crabtree - two local women (pictured below with Class 2) who are cycling 400k across India for Women V Cancer. Each student raised sponsorship money for dancing non-stop for the duration of their class. Based on the money that was received on the night and pledged monies still to come in, it is estimated that MLSPA have raised around £1k for this worthy cause. On a final note, look out for the MLSPA advert in Community News December's edition for some exciting news regarding another NEW school opening soon!

Fake Tech Support Call Scam! There is a scam that is parting lots of people from their money and, for good measure, compromising their computer at the same time. It goes something like this: You receive a call from someone that claims to be from Windows or Microsoft or some support company. They tell you that there is a problem with your computer that they can fix online. They persuade you to allow them access to your PC using remote access software. Once they have control they can do anything: install Spyware, Keyloggers the works. To add insult to injury you get to pay for the service as well, I have heard of £57 being asked for. They seem to be doing their homework by, at least sometimes, knowing the name of the person that they call. The scammer claims that your computer is infected by viruses or badly affected by junk files or some other such nonsense. They may even show you a directory and claim that the files are dangerous. They aren’t. It is all smoke and mirrors to confuse you. It is pretty clever. Most people have something wrong with their computer at any given time so the initial approach is easy. However, Microsoft does not cold call. Not ever. If you are the victim of a scam or want to make sure that your computer is secure give me a call. In the meantime for any help and advice contact Nick Kotarski 07790 842 968 / 01206 299 568 nick@kotarski.co.uk or visit kotarski.co.uk.

News from The Station Welcome to the latest news from the Police Station. On Tuesday 9th October 2012 the inaugural meeting of the Hadleigh Streetwatch scheme took place. As I mentioned last month, volunteers from the community who will give up at least two hours a month of their own time to patrol our streets Picture courtesy of the operate this scheme. East Anglian Daily Times Whilst three of the new recruits were unable to make the meeting, it was well attended and it was very productive. Our thanks go to the Hadleigh Town Council and Cllr. David Wood of the Police Authority for funding the scheme. PCSO 3173 Julia Bignell will be the Police liaison for the scheme, she can be contacted in the event of any query. The photograph above was taken on the launch night and shows Babergh Inspector Paul Crick, crime reduction officer Verity Line, who has driven the scheme and organised the volunteers, David Wood, Town Mayor Mary Munson, and her deputy Cllr. Brian Lazenby as well as the volunteers. In other news, we have recently experienced an unusual spate in attempted breakings to a minority of premises in the High Street. Whilst financially, little damage has been done, the inconvenience to staff and the psychological effects can be long lasting. This is a reminder that even our peaceful High Street can be vulnerable to criminal acts. We are still investigating these reports, but they remain isolated instances over a two-day period. If you have any information relating to these offences, please contact me at the Police Station. Nationally we start to see a rise in thefts from cars and houses at this time of the year. This can often be attributed to the nights drawing in, the clocks changing and the assumption that we all have Christmas presents in our properties that might be worth some money. Make sure that you don’t leave any valuables on display in your vehicles and that cars and houses are locked up. Make sure windows are locked, doors are bolted and consider lights on timers to give the appearance of a presence in the house. If you are concerned about older or more vulnerable relatives or friends at this time of year, then please contact us for advice. On Sunday 11 November 2012 the annual Remembrance Parade will take place in the High Street and Station Road. This is organised by the Royal British Legion, and encompasses a march from the RBL along High Street where wreaths are then laid at the war memorial. The march then continues to the Community Primary School on Station Road, before returning along the same route finishing at St Mary’s Church for a service. As always, this will take place between 2.15pm and 3pm. Roads will be closed, as organised by the RBL. Please come and support our troops and remember those who have given so much for us in so many conflicts. I urge you to all spread the word far and wide to anyone that might be visiting Hadleigh on that day. Traffic congestion is often a problem, and the Police have no involvement with the road closures. The Station remains open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons between 1pm and 3pm. You can contact the team on babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk or by telephoning 101. Always 999 in an emergency. Or you can contact me on the email address below. Until next time Matt, PC 1455 Paisley Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk, Telephone:101

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts The Autumn clear up has been interrupted by the discovery of a pool of water in my Summerhouse. The roofing felt had become brittle and cracked. Then recent strong winds had got under the cracked edge and ripped it. This has been dealt with, but it might be worth having a look at your shed roof before Winter really sets in. I have also been doing some work on the paths around the extra bit of land that I bought some years ago. The main problem is that the path through my vegetable patch was laid on a thin bed of sand on top of the ground as it was when I bought it. Cultivation, and the addition of compost has raised the level of the land alongside the path by about 3", so that the soil keeps falling onto the path. So I am going to have to raise the level of the path by about 3" to stop the problem. It will also give me a level junction with a new path I am laying across the middle of the vegetable patch. Two recent horticultural news items are worrying. Firstly following the loss of our elm trees, and worries about pests & diseases on horse chestnut trees, it appears that the chlara fraxinea fungus , which attacks Ash trees, has got into the UK from Europe where it has already destroyed most of the Ash trees in Denmark. Secondly the commercial crop of potatoes has been poor this year due to wet weather and potato blight, and the Potato Council are blaming amateur growers for spreading potato blight from their crops. Some commentators have even suggested that we amateurs should not be allowed to grow potatoes. Weather Records In September at Kersey there were 47 mm (1.85") of rain. This is roughly our average monthly rainfall. This rainfall means that the 3 month figure is now 181.4 mm (7.1") which is 120% of the average rainfall. In September the maximum temperature was 27 Cel (81F) which is at the top of the September range. The minimum was 5 Cel (41F), which is typical for September. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 10 Cel (50F) , which is typical for the month. Hints As the weather permits carry on with planting shrubs, fruit trees, and hedges, and overhauling borders. A start can be made on hedge trimming. If possible leave hedges carrying berries until later to give the birds a chance. It is not too late to plant more bulbs. November is a bit late for daffodils, but they will still give a good show, and it is about right for tulips. If you want to keep your dahlias, lift them as soon as they get frost damaged, cut the stems back to about 6", and store the tubers initially upside down in a frost free place that is not too hot. In the vegetable patch rough dig any vacant space, and leave for the frost to break down. One can plant broad beans, hardy peas, and Japanese onion sets. If you grow cacti they should now be given their Winter rest with little or no water until the Spring. In my greenhouse the desert cacti will get none, and the forest ones like the Christmas cactus and the epiphylliums just a drop every 2 or three weeks. Good Gardening, John Rye
The Hadleigh & District Garden Club The meeting on 8th October was very well attended, the subject was "Roses" given by Simon and assisted by Peter on behalf of Peter Beales, the eminent rose growers from Attleborough, and was extremely informative and interesting in every way. They brought masses of potted roses for sale as well as herbaceous plants and various types of climbers which seemed to be Peters speciality. The talk was illustrated with an excellent slide show and as it stated; was the A - Z of roses. It did cover all the different varieties of rose and cultural details and tips. There were lots of new varieties, some very new as well as old favourites and those lost in the mists of time. Ever come across a four petal rose? No me neither, and it wasn't an aboration but a distinct variety with a name - sorry I can't remember it. What these chaps didn't know about roses and rose growing probably isn't worth knowing and the audience was clearly fascinated on the subject of, probably the UK’s favourite flower. Interestingly they showed examples of really large plants being grown in pots and seemingly thriving although it was pointed out that they needed constant TLC - mainly to keep them hydrated. Simon also pointed out that climbers and ramblers do need their lower stems trained horizontally otherwise all the flowers will be high and out of sight. And most interestingly, they developed a way of overcoming rose sickness when it is necessary to replant in the same area as a dead plant (i.e. on a pergola) without killing yourself changing half a ton of soil. It seems to involve using a cardboard box -"simples"?!! The size of box that has contained 12 bottles of wine appeared to do the trick - I wasn't too sure if there was a connection between the box and the energy gained by consuming the contents! Better to ring them though and get the details. For more information contact Ruth Allen on 01473 822323

Re: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Station on the Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In response to Phil Westwood's letter about his grandfather's brother Sydney Walter Westwood, Stationmaster at Hadleigh 1918-1921, yes there are other Westwoods still in the area. My maiden name was Westwood, I live in East Bergholt, and I am one of Sydney Walter Westwood's eleven granchildren, a daughter of his youngest child Jim. I do wonder if anybody might remember the Westwood family. My father died in 1992, and I do know that his late sister Auntie Marg used to keep in touch with a longtime friend in Hadleigh, so I am hoping there could be someone who remembers them. Syd and Annie Westwood married in 1900 and lived on the corner of Cranworth Road and Benton Street, although the house is no longer there. They had eight children, Son(Maurice), Ena, Queenie, Marjorie, Grace, Iris, Dot and Jim. Annie died in 1931 when my father was seven, and his sister Grace died in 1930 when she was fifiteen. Sometime during the thirties, the remainder of the family all moved to Cromer. Also, if anyone travelled from Manningtree Railway Station, they may remember my father, Jim Westwood, as he was Station Foreman there for thirty years, from 1953 to 1983 Heather Stockton, East Bergholt, heather@tstockton.fsnet.co.uk

I know that the HCN likes to receive emails from Hadleigh people in far-flung places and this might well be your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from Myanmar. I'm visiting Myanmar (Burma) on a bit of a trip down memory lane having lived here for a bit as a youngster when my father worked here for U.N.F.A.O. Now that the country is taking first tentative steps towards democracy I felt it was time revisit. The strides taken in a very short space of time appear to be dazzling and the people very open and welcoming. As yet there are no ATM's, credit card facilities or international mobile phone network providers (though no doubt they will come very soon) and as I am sending this from the hotel computer I shall be very interested to see if it gets through. Having stayed in Yangon (previously Rangoon) for a few days we have travelled up to Bangan - city of four thousand pagodas - before going on to Mandalay. My link with Hadleigh while travelling is that I have a copy of Hadleigh based author Jonathan Glancey's book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nagalandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (which shares one of its borders with Myanmar) in my rucksack, and I'm sure I'll recall Canon David Atkins recent rendition of Kipling's â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the road to Mandalayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ringing in my ears when we move up there in couple of days time.

....We ask the Questions! This month we put questions to.......
Pat Pitcher Hadleigh Sea Scout Group Cub Leader Where were you born and how did you come to be living in the area? I was born in Stockport, Cheshire. I came to Hadleigh in 1989 with the family when my husband transferred to Ipswich with BT How did you become in involved in Scouting? I used to be treasurer for HCPS Camping Committee and organised the food allocations for the 6 camps over the 2 weeks. On returning one day Pauline Brown GSL of 1st Hadleigh said she thought I would enjoy cub scouts as I liked camping so much - the rest is history.

Autumn at the Hadleigh Bowling Club Firstly thanks to all who supported the Macmillan Coffee Morning held on Friday 28 September. The event raised £127.47 for this worthy cause and well done to club captain Pete Miller and his team for their efforts. Although it is our close season there is much activity at the club. On Saturday 13 October we had a Fish and Chip Supper with live music provided by George Caddick which was attended by some 60 members and guests, thanks to Janet Hogger and her band of helpers for a very lively evening . Our Annual Presentation Dinner Dance will be held on Saturday 17 November and members are reminded to complete and return their booking forms as soon as possible. Another date for the diary is the Christmas Cheese and Wine and Raffle evening on Saturday 15 December. Throughout the winter months the club remains open for short mat bowling both as a social activity and more serious league competitions. In addition to informal roll ups on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 2.30, Friday evenings at 6.30 and Sunday mornings at 10.00 the club runs two league teams. We welcomes members who simply want to play the short mat game only either socially or competitively . The league teams have benefited from our experiences of our first season of competition last winter and have seen some success. As seen from the above the club offers a lively sporting and social scene throughout the year and new members are always welcome.

Dependable, Frustrating, Loyal, Organised and Fun. What is your biggest regret and why? Not being able to spend more time with my Mum and Dad or for them to see their grandsons - they died when I was in my twenties. Tell us about the funniest thing to happen on Cub camp? We were camping near to Brentwood on a site with lots of activities one of which was Water Zorbing. The cubs were having lots of fun behaving like hamsters in the large inflated ball on the lake. “Go on Akela – you have a go” So I did! The ball was filled with air and sealed and they pushed me off….. Oh boy its harder than you think… I couldn’t do anything for laughing… I kept turning upside down no matter how hard I tried to stay right way up and it took me all my time to get back to the side. The cubs thought it was hilarious - I got out - eventually - absolutely shattered - but so much fun…..
Stephanie Carr is well known in the psychic circle and has a growing following, so hurry as tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Tickets are priced at £10.00 each and are available from Louise Garlick, Celotex on 01473 820828. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start
If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be? To have enough money to retire and live comfortably To see both my sons happy and settled To have more time to relax If I were to ask your two sons what your worst bad habit was what would they say? And yes, I will be checking! Taking on too much and then moaning that I don’t have enough spare time. If you could change something about yourself, what would it be and why? Learn to say no or to delegate - see above - I never seem to have enough time to relax Have you ever committed a crime? If yes, what was it? Don’t think so…. What is your idea of perfect relaxation? Deserted beach, somewhere hot, good book and a glass of chilled white wine. If you were given the chance to become invisible for one day, what would do? See how much mischief I could get up to…… Would you still love your significant other half if he gained 2 stone? (Just trying to be helpful Barry!) Of course – he has had to put up with my weight fluctuations over the last few years! Thanks Pat, your never ending enthusiasm and commitment to scouting never ceases to amaze me - it is very much appreciated by everybody, well done and keep up the good work! Kelvin.

On 27th August 2012 the Hadleigh United under 14 boys were invited to take part in a tournament at Framlingham Town. Five matches were played of which the boys won 4 and gained a draw in 1. These positions ensured Hadleigh finished top of the table and won the cup (pictured). Congratulations on this achievement and good luck for the upcoming season. Hadleigh United’s under 14 first league match of the season was away against Witnesham. A high energy game began from the off with both teams playing hard. Hadleigh gained the majority of play and produced some good clean solid football. Play flowed at a fast pace with both teams making attempts. The match continued to unfold with both teams defending well and pushing forward. Witnesham gained the advantage when their strike from the edge of the box hit the back of the net with seconds to the half time whistle. Hadleigh remained focused in the second half and pushed forward. This paid off when Chilli Wolf blasted the ball past the keeper from just outside the box to give Hadleigh the equaliser. With all to play for both teams gave their all. Witnesham again pushed forward to score and regain their lead. Hadleigh remained calm and continued to pass and push forward. With some neat passing Hadleigh bypassed the Witnesham defence and Boris Takem made no mistake with his strike on goal to gain the equaliser. Both teams continued to fight for the winning goal but were denied. Finally score Witnesham 2 Hadleigh Utd 2. Man of the Match - Tyler French.

Hadleigh R.F.C. under 10's Cup Winners! Sunday 13th October 2012, Woodbridge Development Festival. Squad/Tries Joshua Kavanagh 3, Eddie LeRoy 3, Archie Lloyd 1, Ricky Goodyear 2, Daniel Gibbons 2, Liam Lloyd, Gabriel Hawley 3, Robert Wing 8, Dominic Godfrey, Oscar Rush. Match Results Group A: Hadleigh 25 - 15 Felixstowe; Hadleigh 25 - 0 Ipswich YM; Hadleigh 10 - 10 Diss; Hadleigh 35 - 10 Stowmarket Cup Final Hadleigh 15 - 5 Lowestoft With only 10 members of the squad available, Hadleigh began their first match against Felixstowe incredibly well, with almost the entire first half played in possession of the ball and in the oppositions half. Hadleigh were able to build pressure by retaining the ball well at the breakdown with some ferocious rucking and ran in some well worked tries giving them a comfortable half time lead. Concentration levels dipped a little in the 2nd half and Felixstowe began to find their form but as has become common place with this Hadleigh under 10 side the quality of the tackling and the ability to make ground under pressure kept the opposition at bay and with another couple of well taken tries they finished the game on top. Next up were Ipswich YM who had brought their true development team and found themselves a little out of their depth against a rampant Hadleigh who ran in 5 superb tries in an extremely one sided game. In the third game Hadleigh got a bit of a wake-up call against a well-organized Diss team but with their characteristic steely determination Hadleigh dug deep and held on for a welldeserved draw. Safely through to at least ‘The Plate’ final Hadleigh set about Stowmarket with a renewed vigor and against a team full of boys who had obviously been fed on nothing but raw steak since birth put in an immense performance which saw them end the pool stages with another massive 25 point victory. The all-round quality of Hadleigh’s game left them no reason to be afraid of anyone in the ‘Cup Final’. The only doubt in the minds of their Coach’s and Supporter’s was whether this small squad could maintain the levels of energy needed to take on the might of the unbeaten Lowestoft team from the other Pool. We needn’t have worried… After taking on some more fuel in the form of grapes and chocolate, the first half was an evenly fought and tense affair with the scores level at the end of the period but in the 2nd half Hadleigh upped their game, with strong running, controlled rucking and some crunching tackling they took control, ran in two more beautifully constructed tries and secured their first silverware of the season. Every member of the squad gave everything to the cause and it is impossible to pick out a single member for any special praise. Nearly every player got their name on the score sheet and those that didn't made vital contributions all over the field. Hadleigh U10's are really beginning to play an exciting, fast moving style of Rugby with the ball in hand and defensively are incredibly brave and extremely difficult to break down. They play with a fearless exuberance and most satisfyingly of all they genuinely only care about the quality of their performance and have a belief that with 100% effort the results will take care of themselves. Bring on Brightlingsea!

Rugby Club Mixed Fortunes After a sound start to the new league season Hadleigh 1st XV have been going through a period of mixed fortunes. Wins against high flying Ely and Southwold, were followed by disappointing losses to Newmarket and Harwich and being knocked out of the Suffolk Shield. In other areas of the club however results have been more encouraging with the 2nd Xv having a good win in a friendly match against Thorpeness. Similar success has been achieved by the Youth sides too with the U-14’s reaching the semi – finals of the main competition in the recent Suffolk Sevens Tournament. Success too in the competition was shared by the U-15s who won the Plate competition and the U-13s who narrowly lost in the Plate semi- finals. In the Woodbridge Mini Festival held on October 13th,the Hadleigh U-8s reached the final and shared the spoils with Southwold. The U-9s team reached the plate final, U-10s won the main cup against Lowestoft, U-11s team lost narrowly in the final to a very good Ipswich team and the U-12s won the Plate Final against Bury St. Edmunds. Having results such as these in tournaments so near to the beginning of the season augers well for success during the rest of the season ahead. The Hadleigh Youth and Mini Rugby squads are always looking to recruit more players. If your child is 6 or over and would like to become involved in rugby then training is held every Sunday at Layham Road Sports ground from 10.30 until 12.00. or Contact Alan Murray on 01473 652448.

Hadleigh United under 14’s 6.10.12 saw Hadleigh United play their first round cup match against Woodbridge XI. Hadleigh got off to a great start and had soon opened up the scoring with Mekhi Hunters goal. Hadleigh piled on the pressure and Woodbridge defended in depth. Hadleigh pushed forward and this paid off when Tyler French scored. Play started again and within minutes Tyler had put his second goal of the match past the keeper. Woodbridge made attempts but these were swiftly dealt with by the Hadleigh defence. Hadleigh remaining focused pushed on once more and Callum Morrin sent the ball past the keeper to take Hadleigh into a 4 - 0 lead by the half time whistle. The second half mirrored the first with Hadleigh gaining the majority of play. Chilli Wolf left the keeper with little chance when he further increased Hadleigh's lead. A quick successions of goals saw Boris Takem, Jack Lambert and Jamie McGrath all gain goals for Hadleigh. Despite a good lead Hadleigh continued to pressure Woodbridge, continually pushing forward and making attempts. This also paid off for Boris Takem and Mekhi Hunter who both scored their second goals and taking the final score Hadleigh 10 - Woodbridge XI 0. 13.10.12. Hadleigh United settled quickly into their league match against Woodbridge XI and had soon opened up the score sheet when a free kick taken by Chilli Wolf was swiftly finished off by Tommy Thorby.

Hadleigh passed well and gained a further goal when Jack Lambert tucked the ball into the net to take the score to 4 - 0 by the half time whistle. Hadleigh increased the pressure in the second half and Oliver Peters gained another swiftly followed on by Tyler French's first goal of the match.

Course Records tumble at Newton Green
Eloise Aldous
The record books are being re-written at Newton Green Golf Club for both the male and female course amateur honours. Within the space of a few days the course records in both categories have been smashed – and in one case by a 14year-old girl. Eloise Aldous, whose handicap has now been cut from 10 to eight, shot a three over par 74 in the club’s England Women’s Golf Association Medal competition. It gave her a net score of 64 against par for women of 71. She was playing the competition with fellow England schoolgirl squad trainee Alice Barlow, and the total for Eloise was made up of five birdies, six pars, six bogeys and a double bogey. The new ladies’ record slices three shots off the previous best set by Laura Lowe Russell Oakey just over a year ago. Newton has a par of 69 for men, and former professional Russell Oakey, who switched back to amateur status two years ago – becoming club champion in the recent summer - has now set a new, four-under-par record of 65. It was one below the previous best set by Steve Wordley 12 years ago. Oakey’s score in the club’s Molony Cup gave him first place and a Stableford points total of 42. He was playing off a handicap of two – since cut to one. His rich vein of form continued a few days later when he shot 70 (nett 69) to come third in the club’s Glass Bowl competition.

The last Sunday in September saw Hadleigh Tennis Club celebrate the end of the summer season with the traditional President’s tournament. The tournament is a fun event but still with a competitive edge. Members of The club play tennis in a variety of match formats, including mixed doubles, ladies’ and men’s doubles and this year in a new format “champions” team tennis. Throughout the morning event individual players accumulate points towards the result of the tournament. As always, the tournament was well support by members of the club and their guests, with 28 competitors striving to win the “President’s Cup” and other prizes. The eventual winner by only 2 points was Ben Daniels, who can be seen here receiving the “Ken Goddard memorial cup”, from Peter Richards, Hadleigh Tennis Club president. Other prizes were won by Sandy Claireaux and Brian Dicks. The competition was followed by a convivial buffet lunch where members and guests renewed friendships and discussed the points that ”just got away”. This year the members were pleased to raise a glass to celebrate Andy Murray’s fine performance in becoming the first British man to win a grand slam singles title in 73 years. If you want to become a “grand slam” champion you need to start playing soon, so why not start at Hadleigh Tennis Club, where play continues all year round.

Looking to build upon last year's 2nd place in pool B, the Hares fielded five men and two women. The demanding five-mile course saw runners navigate several ditches before going through a wood in the last third of the race. Toby Rankin went through the finish line first for the Hares in 40th place. Matt Hunter followed in 48th place. In the ladies section Trudy Avis came 27th and Deborah Stewart was 67th. Stuart and Steve Hunt both turned out for the Hares after several races the previous month. Stuart was 125th with his dad in 145th place. Graham Rankin said he really enjoyed the course and was looking forward to the rest of the season, he finished in 156th. Elizabeth Stewart finished in 57th place in the juniors' one-mile race. The next cross country race is in Harwich on 4th November.

A Big Thank You
Hadleigh United Youth Football Club
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported us at the bring and buy on september 22nd at Raydon Village Hall, this was in aid of Brain Tumour UK and also in memory of David Cooper who is always in our hearts. TOTAL RAISED £1054. Betty, Cliff and Family
With the 2012/13 season well under way. It is pleasing to report that three new teams were formed to play this season. With the natural progression to see players start young, an Under 8’s team formed together with an Under 18’s team, both these teams play in the South Suffolk Football League. The third team is a first for Hadleigh with the formation of a Girls Under 13’s team which play their matches in the Suffolk Girls & Women’s Football League. This means the Youth Football Club now has teams in all age groups from Under 8’s to Under 18’s. On the football front most teams have had a mixture of results so far against some strong opposition, with some progressing to the next rounds of the South Suffolk Youth League Cup. Highlights to date have seen the Under 18’s losing 5-3 on penalties against Eye after being level at full time 4-4. Under 15’s recording an 11-1 win over Sporting 87. Both Under 14 teams have also recorded some high scores with the Under 14’s beating Woodbridge in a recent match 14-0 whilst the Under 14 Brettsiders saw off Sutton Heath 9-3. The Under 12’s recorded a 6-1 win over East Bergholt and not to be out done the Under 11 Brettsiders defeated Capel 8-1 in a recent match. Even the Under 8’s found their scoring boots, scoring ten goals in a recent match. The Club are proud to announce that three players from the Under 14 squad, Oliver Peter, Chilli Wolf & Tyler French, have been selected for the Suffolk F.A Under 14’s Team. This proves that the Club is moving in the right direction and hopefully over time players from other teams will be selected as they progress through the age groups. More information on each team can be found on the website www.clubwebsite.co.uk/hadleighunitedyouthfootballclub each team can be found by selecting the teams icon on the tool bar. And finally this month a huge thank you to the Sponsors who have kindly sponsored various teams for this coming season, again these sponsors can be found on the website.

‘Thank You’ to the Hadleigh and District Angling Society The Brendan Oakes Trust would like to thank HADAS for our most successful charity fishing match since we started 7 years ago. This years event raised £940 for the Trust and was attended by nearly 40 fisherman from Hadleigh and other local fishing clubs. The memorial match was again sponsored by Mark Snowling of Surefix windows and doors and we thank him for his continued support. After 7 years of trying it was Mark Snowling's day as he won the match. It was another beautiful day and everyone enjoyed the tea, coffee and biscuits on the banks of Bulleky Fenn before retiring to the BBQ and helping to raise more funds by buying raffle tickets and bidding on items in the auction. Once again thank you to all those that took part and hoping to see you all again next year. Mark Oakes

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk This seasons Suffolk Premier Cup competition saw Hadleigh United at home to Needham Market in the first round. Supporters of both clubs turned out in force on a fine night for this important match. Needham took the lead with a header midway through the first half, but the cheers had hardly died down when Marcus Josiah fired in our equaliser. Just before the interval Hadleigh took the lead when Mark Maher marked his debut with a great goal to put Hadleigh into a lead by two goals to one in a splendid contest. That proved to be the final score thanks to a penalty save by our keeper Dan Heath early in the second half. The next round is scheduled for early January when Hadleigh will be at home to Lowestoft. A league match at home to Thetford saw Hadleigh win by four goals to two. Two early goals by Ollie Canfer gave us a good start before Neil Calver scored a third. The visitors converted a penalty kick before a second penalty saw Heath make a fine save. In the second half Josiah made it four for Hadleigh while Thetford scored their second goal. A four goal win at Felixstowe saw Lee McGlone score in the first half to give us an early advantage in our bid to pick up three points. Felixstowe were put under more pressure in the second half with Ashley Sloots scoring the second before Scott Chaplin scored two late goals. A fine win then followed at Wivenhoe by four goals to two. Marcus Josiah scored after two minutes but Wivenhoe levelled early in the second half. Chaplin restored our lead before Josiah made it three as Hadleigh took control. Chaplin scored again before Wivenhoe got their second just before the end. The home match against Mildenhall ended in defeat for Hadleigh by the odd goal of the game. Hadleigh Reserves entertained Capel Reserves in the Suffolk Cup and a young Hadleigh team won by five clear goals. Defeat at Ipswich Wanderers and Sudbury were only slight setbacks for our Reserves as late September and early October also brought wins against Long Melford and Stowmarket. Our Thurlow Nunn youth team were heavily beaten by Bury Town in the national youth cup which was hardly a surprise. Improving displays in league matxches should see a rise up the table. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were George Wyatt, Rolf Beggerow and Paul Bray.
Hadleigh United Fixtures First team fixtures for Hadleigh United in November are scheduled to begin with a home match against Dereham on Saturday 3rd. A trip to Brantham follows for a local derby on Saturday 10th. We entertain Diss on Saturday 17th before traavelling to Walsham on Saturday 24th. The reserves go to Woodbridge on Saturday 3rd before a home match against Stowmarket on Saturday 10th.
