New Car for Community First Responders We have just completed the purchase of our first vehicle. A black Citroen C3 supplied, serviced and MOT’d by Complete Car services. Our thanks go to Glen and his team for getting us mobile. This will aid our members to be available at times when before they would have been without transport such as when the family car is in use by another family member. The was up and running at the beginning of June. We have still to arrange to get some signage applied to it, to make it distinctive so that in the coming months everyone in the town will recognise us when we are on a call and help us on our way. The car will NOT be equipped with blue lights as we are not allowed to use any audible warning device nor are we allowed to have the high visibility markings used by the ambulance cars or police. We are

seeking sponsors or donations to help us with the running costs which could run to £1500 with insurance and tax. I would like to thank everyone who donated at Josie’s surprise 80th Birthday party for raising £167.20, a great start to our car fund. The local police have kindly agreed that we can keep our car in their yard when not in use. This is much preferable to parking on the road or public car park and we are most grateful to them for their assistance. Now we need people to man it. Our numbers have fallen over the year and we need people to come forward and volunteer their time.

Taj’s Tips : Make the best use of our EXTENDED opening times You know how it is , you need a bottle of Calpol but the nearest pharmacy that is open is in Ipswich or Sudbury and you’ve got to get the car out, find someone to look after the kids or pack them in the car with you, including the one that isn’t well and then try and locate this pharmacy that is open, only to find that it has just closed as you’ve got there. Frustrating as it is, it happens all too often. And it’s not just children is it? How many times have you reached for your prescription medicine and realised that you’ve taken your last tablet or that the inhaler that you thought was new is in fact empty. You probably know that most pharmacies can issue you with an emergency supply (for which they may charge) but again the problem can be trying to find one that’s open and easy to get to. You know where I’m heading now, don’t you? Yes, that’s right, Mill Pharmacy – OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK – including early mornings, lunchtimes and late evenings. Of course, we are not a substitute for not ordering your prescription on time but should you need a pharmacy in an emergency the chances are that we will be open and may be able to help you out. If we cannot help you our pharmacist should be able to refer you to someone who can. Of course you don’t need an emergency to make use of our extended opening hours. As you probably know, the health centre can be busy in the weekdays, however, at WEEKENDS the story is completely different; the health centre car park is empty and there is easily accessible disabled parking and toilets, not to mention NO QUEUES. You can collect your prescription with the minimal wait and should you need to speak to the pharmacist about your medicines, they will have more time to sit and chat with you as the pharmacy will not be as busy as it is in the weekdays. Perhaps you’ve thought about giving up smoking but found that you could not get to the doctors as you work all week. Mill Pharmacy runs an NHS Smoking Cessation programme and you make use of it at the weekends when it may be more convenient for you. Or you may want to loose weight or find out more about healthy living. Our pharmacists will be able to help at all times but again at the weekend they may be able to spend longer with you. Our extended opening hours may also suit you WORK or if you LIVE IN ONE OF THE VILLAGES and want to collect your prescription at the weekend. In addition, you can also purchase any items we have in our shop. So, as you can see, best use of our extended hours can be made by everyone, not just by parents of sick children in an emergency. *Taj West is the Superintendent Pharmacist of Mill Pharmacy

Playstation pre-school Once again our annual visit to the Giggle factory was a great success and fun was had by all- both adults and children! Many thanks goes to the Hadleigh Thrift Shop whose donation provided the coach transport therewhich for the children is just as much a highlight as the destination!! They will not get too much time to recover however as we are shortly to embark on our sponsored “Teddy Toddle” for which we are hoping to raise funds for some more role play toysparticularly the outdoors variety! So parents, grandparents and friends get sponsoring- all proceeds will go to your play goup! We have lots more fundraising ideas planned as well in the forthcoming months- please let us know if you can help! A big thank you to all those who brought in their schools vouchers- with them we have ordered some more musical instruments for the children which we are sure will be loved and well used! With the summer here, and all those birthday parties do remember we can provide your little one with a special guest with our Bob the Builder outfit for hire! See him in action in our picture- the children love him! All proceeds from the hire once again go to Play group. As from September our sessions will be changing to 3 hours in line with Government proposals. These will be Morning 845-1145am, Lunch club 1145-1230pm, and Afternoon session 1230-330pm.

18th January 1916 - 22nd April 2010 Last month saw the death of Lt-Col Stanley Owen Edwards OBE MC TD who died peacefully in his sleep at his nursing home on Thursday 22nd April 2010. Stanley had a long military career, joined the Territorial Army and in 1939 was transferred to the Hertfordshire Yeomanry, was commissioned in 1941 and posted to the newly formed 72 Anti-Tank Regiment 6th Armoured Division. His regiment saw action in North Africa and Italy and finally the Regiment, now commanded by Lt. Col Edwards, enjoyed a brief spell running a ski training school in Austria, training troops to patrol the snow covered frontier between Italy and Yugoslavia. Stanley was awarded the Military Cross in 1943 and Territorial Decoration for 25 years service in the Territorial Army. Upon returning to the UK he commanded a POW camp containing some 600 German prisoners of war awaiting repatriation, before being discharged. He then received a request from the War Office to renew his TA membership and assist with the reformation of the Warwickshire Yeomanry which had been decimated at El Alamein, ultimately commanding a very active unit before finally retiring. Returning to England he became Sales Director of a printing company after which he relocated to Paris where he set up Editions Ivoire, a greetings card company. During this period he was involved with the Paris branch of the Royal British Legion and was awarded “La Medaille D’Argent de la Paris” in 1977 and the OBE in 1979 for service to exservicemen in Paris. Stanley and his wife Margaret, had become our very dear friends since they came to live in Hadleigh. He was a giant of a man who lived a very full and eventful life. He loved Venice and classical ballet and particularly Wales where as a member of the Welsh Kite Trust he loved to go and watch these magnificent birds for hours on end. He was instrumental in the formation of Hadleigh Probus Club which has been a great contribution to the town and I am very proud and privileged to have been his friend. Rest in peace Stanley, you will be sorely missed Rosemary Schade

One of our members Sue Thorn gave us a talk on the history and services of Boots the chemist and how it evolved from a small shop into a progressive company offering a variety of products and product support which aids health within the community. On a warm spring evening we visited Hollow Trees where we had an enjoyable tractor ride over part of this family run 140 acre mixed farm with an informative talk by Sally and Robert Bendall. Sally explained how they produce food for their farm shop as well as working with education and conservation. The business has been in the family for 22 years and they achieved the Best Farm Shop award in 2009. They regularly hold events to delight both adults and children alike and the club can vouch for the scones and cakes in the Woodland coffee shop. Lynn Todhunter

News from Beaumont Community Primary School Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came to the school to share a picnic lunch with the children. We were very lucky with the weather! After the picnic, the children enjoyed an action-packed afternoon for sports day! They participated in lots of different games and sports, including throwing the javelin, the long jump and running races. There was also a penalty shootout – we hope the England players were watching! Well done to all the children for their sporting behaviour and their excellent achievements. It was a record breaking year! In the end, the ‘Orange’ team were worthy winners of the trophy. They are shown here with Mr Potter, the Premier Sports coach, who presented them with their medals. The children have taken part in many other sporting events this month. The year 6 girls played an excellent Elmsett team at football. The game was played with a superb spirit and they all played really well. Children from years 5 and 6 have played in cricket and rounders tournaments. Well done to the children for good teamwork and giving one another positive encouragement. Also, thanks to Miss Clarke from Hadleigh High School, who has visited the school to teach squash lessons. The children have really enjoyed trying a different sport! Our two year ‘Comenius’ project, involving countries from around Europe, has come to an end. Representatives from Beaumont attended the final event in Invergowrie, Scotland, where we were entertained at a civic reception and at a ceilidh. After our final meeting, in which we discussed the achievements of the project, there was an exhibition showcasing children’s work from all the partner countries. Displays, photographs and DVD presentations were used to share the activities undertaken in each school. Also, visitors could sample food from each country, including Norwegian waffles, which were very popular! Visitors to the exhibition included members of the local council, local children and parents and members of the public. Thanks to our Scottish hosts for their wonderful hospitality!

Diabetes UK June 13th to 19th was the national Diabetes UK fund raising week. With grateful thanks to the Management and Staff at The Hadleigh Health Centre, a small group of Volunteers held a “Cuppa and a Cake” day at the Health Centre on Thursday 17th June and their efforts raised a total of £304.65 to go toward the national fund. Sincere thanks are expressed to the many people that made and gave a wonderful selection of Cakes of various colours, designs and flavours, to the Manager and Staff at the Centre for allowing the use of the premises and for their help throughout the day and of course the Public for their generous support. As a result, the money raised will help in the continuous research and development of this condition, to the benefit of the public at large. Thank you so much. Special thanks to Peter, Kim, Beryl, Jennifer, Pauline and Keith and all other helpers.

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard with M V Oriana at Malaga

I have recently returned from a pleasant voyage on board P & O’s M V Oriana. We had some lovely ports of call in the Mediterranean including Corfu, Dubrovnik and Corsica. The picture shows me sporting a Flamenco hat at the dockside in Malaga. The ship was named by The Queen in 1995 and I was lucky enough to enjoy a tour of the vessel the day after. My last time on Oriana was in 1999. When on board ship, I usually play the piano for the passenger show and I had intended to on this occasion, however the event had to be called-off. The performer ahead of me was an elderly gentleman who having told some jokes suffered a seizure and collapsed on stage in front of a 1000 seat theatre. Fortunately, he was eventually brought round and so far as I know has survived. A rather traumatic experience for us all. I am preparing my column on the longest day of the year. These Summer months are always great for those of us who are motoring enthusiasts. I have just returned from the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Annual Rally at Rockingham Castle. Unfortunately, one of my cars “failed to proceed” on the A1071 and I am grateful to several of you who stopped to see if I was o.k. I have written about the importance of a Lasting Power of Attorney on a number of occasions. Such a document allows someone else to be able to run one’s affairs even after one has lost mental capacity. The current forms are comprised of several elements and amongst other things require a professional such as your Doctor or someone who has known you for two years to provide a certificate stating that you are aware of the impact of the Lasting Power of Attorney. After all the formalities have been completed, the Lasting Power of Attorney must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. Please come to us so that we can guide you through the process. Don’t put off the making of your Will for any longer – telephone for an appointment. If you are about to depart to warmer climes then I wish you Bon Voyage! Howard Gibbons

Oak and Elm visit Boxford Spinney - As part of their learning about the environment, Oak and Elm classes (Year 1 and 2 pupils) ventured out of school to catch the bus, which took them to Boxford. From there, they walked to Boxford Spinney. They made their way to the campfire area, where Mrs Powell (Teaching Assistant) showed them how to start a fire with small sticks and punk (dry leaves). Mrs Powell starting the fire - Once the fire was lit, the children were sent off in their groups to collect dry firewood, which could be put on the fire. A mid morning snack and play time were then enjoyed by everyone. Once the fire was going well, some sausages were put in a pan to cook, and when they were ready everyone enjoyed a hot dog. As the children have also been looking at countries around the world, Mrs. Herbert brought her guitar, and everyone sang some songs and rounds from England, France, West Indies, America and Australia. Following that everyone made their way back to the grass area where the wraps, cous cous and pasta salad followed by toffee apples were enjoyed. These had been made in school the previous day! After lunch the children were given another two tasks – to find as many different things as they could to stick on the sticky tape on their card, and also in groups to make an animal sculpture out of natural bits and pieces. After this, it was time to tidy up and leave to catch the bus back to school. The sticky card collections - A big thank you to Mrs Young and Mrs Lewis for organising the trip – Mrs Thomas and Mrs Mowles for helping the children with the cooking, Mrs Powell for arranging the use of the site, and the many parents who came along and helped. It was a fantastic day, and the children learnt a great deal in a very enjoyable way! Celebration Outing - The children of Year Six at St Mary’s have celebrated the end of their primary schooling with a visit to Colchester Zoo. There were lots of interesting creatures to look at - it was great fun comparing ourselves to some – as well as play areas, to just enjoy being a primary school child. All in all, a lovely day for friends to share together and a well deserved treat after all their hard work. Thanks to the generosity of the Support Group for funding this lovely day out. Courtyard Development – Connor (Year 6) reports - The wall has started going up and the builders have put down hardcore. Now they are building two ramps and they have 5 bags of cement ready to go on them. We have a plan that we are looking at, so we can see what the next step will be. Throughout the work, the builders have been using the following tools – digger, dumper, drill, cement mixer, compacter, angle grinder and masonry saw. I have really enjoyed watching the machines at work. I really hope it looks nice when it is finished, and wonder if it will be finished before Year 6 leave to go to High School, and if not I will have to come back next term to have a look!

Hadleigh School to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lead The Wayâ&#x20AC;? for others in Early Years Teaching St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church of England Primary School in Hadleigh is celebrating the news that it has been awarded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;key practitioner statusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Suffolk County Council for the imaginative and energetic way it is teaching younger children. The Early Years Foundation Stage was introduced by the Government in 2008 It sets out the ways in which nurseries, childminders, playgroups and others bodies must teach children aged from birth to five. According to Jan Cotten, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation Stage teacher â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new scheme sets out to be much more child-centric than the previous system. It emphasises that each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational path is different and so relies far less on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one-size-fits-allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approach to teaching. So although we have long-term goals for each child, it is usually the child itself who decides which experiences they want to explore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the teacher observing and then intervening to further encourage the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest and extend their learning in whatever they are doing â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From day one, here at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we were committed to the philosophy behind the Foundation Stage and went out of our way to making it work for our children. Being awarded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;key practitioner statusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a wonderful thumbs-up in recognition of all the effort that has been put into how we teach our youngest pupils. We feel we are leading the way with this type of teachingâ&#x20AC;?. Fully delivering the requirements of the Foundation Stage is incredibly time-consuming as it requires schools to think much more carefully about all aspects of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning world, including the design of the classroom, the need to keep both written and photographic records of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning and the dynamic relationship between each child and their friends and the teaching staff. According to Kathy Warren, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Early Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Professional â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is incredibly hard work to get right, but so much more satisfying for both teachers and pupils. In effect, we are nurturing all aspects of a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development through problem solving and independent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but guided â&#x20AC;&#x201C; learningâ&#x20AC;?. As an Early Years Foundation Stage key practitioner, Jan Cotten with the support of Early Years Professional Kathy Warren will be able to offer advice and guidance to other schools about their experiences. Teachers from those schools will also be able to come to St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and observe children and staff in their learning environment to get a first-hand experience of how the children learn.

Well after a long, cold winter and a rather dodgy spring I expect we are all looking forward to a much better summer. Following the General Election we would like to thank everyone for their continuing support. As they say, we can’t do any of it without you. We wanted to have a small thank-you event for our helpers and have decided to combine this with a fund raiser so we would like to invite everyone to come and join us at our: STRAWBERRY CREAM TEA GARDEN PARTY on Saturday, 10th July from 2pm to 4pm at The Haven, Ivy Tree Lane, Hadleigh Just over the by-pass, up Aldham Mill Hill towards Whatfield, first left into Ivy Tree Lane and it is the first (white) house on the left. Parking is available in the layby opposite the house and further parking is being arranged. We are most grateful to Josie Read for kindly letting us use her lovely garden (just wait till you see the views!) There will be a selection of sandwiches & cakes, scones with strawberry preserve and cream, tea, coffee and soft drinks available. We will also be running a tombola and bottle stall. If anyone has any small items that we could use for our tombola or a bottle (full, please!) that we could use on our stall, please contact Jessica Nevard on 822 671. A reminder of a couple of useful telephone numbers (though we all hope we’ll never need them): the freephone number for Crimestoppers 08000 555 111 if you see anything you wish to report, and the number for the Police is 01473 613 500 so as not to tie up the emergency lines. In the interests of being “a good neighbour” may I remind everyone that, unless you wish to incur a fine of £30, you must not park on any single yellow line between 8am and 6pm Monday to Saturday unless briefly for loading or unloading large items. Doing so also makes it more dangerous for pedestrians whose visibility of the road will be limited and for access for any emergency vehicles. If you have any concerns, requests or suggestions to improve things in our community, or something you require help with, do not hesitate to let us know. We are all actively busy on your behalf on many matters and we are here to help you in any way we can and so make Hadleigh a town in which we are all proud to live. With our very best wishes, The Hadleigh Lib Dem Team Contact: Cllr Jessica Nevard, 822671 (jessicanevard@btinternet.com) Or, should you wish to send anything in writing, or a donation, please do so to: Freepost RRRR-KRTE-BXTX, 39 Highlands Road, Hadleigh, IP7

The Big Summer De-Clutter for BBC Radio Suffolk’s Treehouse Appeal

68VX2

We all have junk that we think is only worthy of the dump. Well here’s your chance to have a big summer clear out and at the same time help to raise OMATIC 1600 funds for SPIN East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices Treehouse Appeal. Sunday August 8th will see the whole of Suffolk taking part in a massive de-clutter MACHINE with a series of car boot sales across the county- the focal point being a city huge family event and monster car boot sale at the Trinity Park y ratingShowground : 30% in Ipswich. This major BBC Radio Suffolk event is part of the ongoing efforts to raise £3 million for a new children’s hospice for EACH n 'A' rating and hopes to involve every car booter and bargain hunter in Suffolk. The idea was the brainchild of the James Hazell show when producer savings with Sally Burch got fed up of the junk that was accumulating in her garage. d DrumTogether with presenter James Hazell, they joined forces with the staff at washTrinity - Park, car boot sale organisers Shandale and the EACH fundraising office to formulate the Big Summer De-Clutter. James said: “This is a win, nsors win for situation. a Guests on the show are always telling us people need to declutter. Well we can all do just that - and make a substantial contribution ough wash to the fantastic Treehouse Appeal at the same time. It will also stop Sal Wash whingeing about the state of her garage!” Sal added: “The Big Summer De-Clutter is the perfect solution to all those hidden treasures that have been locked away in the loft or garage gathering dust.” The Big Summer De-Clutter will run from 7am until 3pm on August 8 at Trinity Park Showground in Ipswich. Patsy Johnson, EACH capital appeal fundraiser, said: “The Big Summer De-Clutter is a great concept which will raise funds, bring people together and raise the profile of the EACH Treehouse Appeal across the region.” A total of 500 pitches are available at a cost of £10 each, which will go directly to the Treehouse Appeal, and can be booked by contacting Patsy: 01473 276115 Patsy.johnson@each.org.uk Even if you don’t have a stall at the event you can still do your bit to support the appeal by donating your unwanted items to EACH, which can be sold in EACH shops or recycled to raise funds. The de-clutter event will also host a family funday- so there will be something for everyone- entry- Adults £1, children free.

Jerry’s Diary The weather warmed up from the 15th May, after a long spell of a persistent NE wind. This warm spell saw Swifts increase in numbers with 41+ over the house on 24th May. The saying “one Swallow doesn’t make a summer” but for me one Swift wouldn’t make a summer. When the weather gets warmer, the Swifts fly faster in flocks around the houses and become more vocal with their screams. Swifts are on the wing for 9 months before they arrive back here from Africa. Cold wet weather forces the Swifts to fly far from the nest site, up to 500 miles, to find aerial insects. Young Swifts become torpid and can go without food for several days and the eggs are resistant to chilling. The young spend about 6 – 8 weeks in the nest, longer than other birds of this size. The best place to see Swifts is Layham Church. Any hot weather in July will be the best time before they depart for Africa. The last few days of May saw a few Hobbys in the area. Two Hobbys were over the garden for a few days catching insects and trying to take Swifts. Like Simon King, the Hobby is my favourite bird of prey. I saw my first one also in Dorset over 25 years ago. My first Hobby in the Hadleigh area was 20 years ago near the Railway Walk. In July and August I often see the Hobby taking Billywitchers as they come out at dusk on warm still evenings. They can also take baby rabbits. The Starling has had a good breeding year going by the big flock of young birds in the gardens and fields. Anyone who has been watching Spring Watch would have seen the Little Ringed Plover eggs and chicks taken by Jackdaws. Little Ringed Plover is a very rare breeding species in this area. For the second year running they have not bred at the Layham Pits. This is probably because the pits are being back filled, and at a site in the Lower Brett there are no birds known to be breeding. The Little Ringed Plover are a summer migrant to this country. Gravel and Sand Pits are their main habitat. The Jackdaw is now becoming far too common. There are a few pairs now nesting in the chimneys in Angel Street and they have taken Chaffinch, Greenfinch and Goldcrest chicks not far from my garden. Is it now time to cull some of these Jackdaws?

As i said this is a walking carnival but if your group would like music we will allow a car or van to play your music from. The theme for this the Amateur dramatics / shows as we are celebrating 90 years of HADS. So think of pantomimes or musicals or maybe even the wizard of oz or a Disney film of your choice. Lots of people have been asking where the carnivals are and we have to start small, so if your in a group or company log on our website for more details. In the big car pack next to Baclays bank we have our fun area. Here will will have inflatable's for all ages including bungee run and surfing challenge and also a BIG bouncy castle for ALL ages cos i do like a good bouncy castle. For them people like me who like heights we have a climbing wall and for those who like there gadgets we will have the guys from Robots wars down so you can see how big those robots are on TV and also have a go on some mini robots too. Also in this area we are asking local groups if they would like an area to have a tombolla or fun event to raise money towards their group. We will charge £10 per pitch but we only have a limited number of spaces available. The market place area will be closed from 2pm and will have a stage with live entertainment till about 10pm. We will have the winners from "Has Hadleigh Got Talent" on stage as well as an appearance from HADS with a sample of the up coming show Alice in Wonderland.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Hearing Care Show coming to Suffolk On Friday 2nd July, Ipswich will play host to the county’s first ever exhibition dedicated to the sense of hearing. Hearing care specialists, The Hearing Care Centre who are based in the town, will stage the day-long ‘Suffolk Hearing Care Show’ to help people to learn about, improve and manage their hearing and hearing loss. The event has been organised to coincide with National Deaf Awareness Week which runs from 28th June – 4th July 2010. The exhibition will take place in the Robert Cross Hall at Ipswich Corn Exchange, and is being supported by a variety of hearing related organisations including, hearing aid manufacturers, hearing protection suppliers, as well as local help groups and charities. The exhibition runs between 10am and 4pm, and Hearing Care Centre Managing Director Karen Finch is keen to stress that the exhibition isn’t just all about hearing aids, “This exhibition is about everything to do with the sense of hearing. Yes hearing aids are a big part of this, but there are so many other themes running through the event. “Hearing tests, hearing protection (music, shooting, industry, motorcyclists), ear health checks, tinnitus, lipreading, local support groups in Suffolk, hearing assistive equipment (telephones, door ringers etc.) are just a few to mention. We have tried to accommodate every angle to do with hearing, whilst giving it a local angle.” Free refreshments will be available throughout the day. There will also be a variety of short talks from each of the exhibitors on a variety of hearing related topics. Entry is free of charge. For full event details and times of the speakers visit www.hearingcarecentre.co.uk/daw

Christian Aid 2010 I must thank all the people of Hadleigh who helped support Christian Aid week here by supporting the various activities and donating through their envelopes. Thank you also to the collectors who gave their time delivering envelopes and knocking at doors and to those who baked cakes, gave gifts and raffle prizes. We have now received in all the monies raised from house collections, shop tins, coffee morning, afternoon tea party and church collections and are pleased to say that we have been able to send a grand total of £2790. 57. to Christian Aid. This will help them continue their work not only responding to those in need in emergencies but enabling those who wish to work and improve lives in their own communities to do so. We can’t rest now for another year – sadly emergencies will continue to occur, people will need helping so there will be future fundraising efforts here in Hadleigh. Please support them if you can – if you would like to help or can make suggestions of new ways for us to go do let us know. Once again many thanks for your help, Glenda Druce, Judith Kelly

Raydon’s August AFAYRE Many people in the area are familiar with the Raydon Church Stall, from which they have garnered bargains, found quality plants and chosen books from a wide range of hardcover and paper. We are fortunate that many generous benefactors leave items for sale but often included in these are items that are too valuable to leave unattended on the Stall. Last year we saved these, and many books of special interest, for a Bumper Book Sale and Castaways sale; it was a huge success. All the visitors enjoyed browsing, playing the sideshows and enjoying an excellent Barbeque. So we’re doing it again! St Mary’s Church Raydon August AFAYRE on 7th August at the Church between 10.30am and 4.00pm, come and try our Garden Goodies Raffle, Win-a-Bottle, get the children to try their luck on a sideshow, buy your plants and cakes, browse the books, search out a bargain Castaway and enjoy a sizzling B-B-Q.

Wedding Wear Amnesty for Hospice With the summer wedding season well under way, why not donate your old outfit to St Elizabeth Hospice’s shop in Hadleigh? The Hospice is holding a wedding wear amnesty this summer during which people are asked to donate the wedding clothes they no longer need. The outfits will then be resold to raise money for the charity, which costs £5.9 million a year to run. All eleven Hospice shops throughout East Suffolk will be taking donations, including the one in Maiden Way, Hadleigh, which re-opened on July 2 after a refit. Then a special wedding department will be set up at two of the Hospice shops – those at Dog’s Head Street, Ipswich, and High Street, Saxmundham, to sell the collection for people looking to revamp their wedding outfit this year. Hospice retail sales manager Jason Rudderham said: “A woman’s wedding dress is a precious item, so why not consider giving it as an extra special gift to the Hospice shop after it has been worn. It will be gratefully received and will help us to continue to raise funds to care for our patients and support their families and carers.” It is not just wedding dresses that can be donated for resale. Why not dig out last year’s hat, shoes or handbag you may have worn for the wedding reception, the groom’s suit or even the bridesmaid’s dress she may have grown out of. St Elizabeth Hospice relies on the generosity of the local community to help it raise funds to continue to provide its services to people throughout East Suffolk. To find out more or where your nearest shop is call 01473 723600 or visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk

Hadleigh Evening WI Members of Hadleigh Evening WI enjoyed a presentation by Bill Baston entitled East Anglian Birds. Bill is regarded as one of the world’s best wild life photographers and his commentary reflected his knowledge of his subjects. Familiar local birds included a Barn owl, a Robin, a Nightingale, a Wren, a Thrush and a Blackbird. Less familiar included a Bee eater from South Africa, an Ibis, an Osprey and many others. For a treat to see further examples of his photographs visit his website at www.billbaston.com.Bill judged the competition “Members photograph/painting of a bird” that was won by Dorothy Claireaux. President Philippa Carruthers, as delegate, reported on the WIs National Annual meeting in Cardiff. This year’s resolution that was passed by a vote of 99.13% concerned the mandatory labelling of fish, meat and poultry products with the name of country of origin. It was a program with some interesting speakers. Gwen Parry Jones – Site Director of Heysham 1 Nuclear Power station, Tim Smit founder of the Eden project and restorer of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Dr Lee Durrell Honorary Director of the Durrell Conservation Trust involved with saving endangered animals from extinction and John Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons who outlined the aspirations of parliament for the next five years. The meeting was concluded with a performance by the versatile Welsh male voice choir “Only Men Allowed” winners of the TV series “Last Choir standing”. Next months meeting will be held on Tuesday 20 July in the Seminar suite above the Hadleigh library, starting at 7.30 pm. Roy Tricker will give a talk entitled “Enjoying Old Churches” Visitors and new members are welcome. Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

Hadleigh Healing Society We have all been experiencing the highs and lows of the World Cup, Wimbledon and races at Ascot and Goodwood. An over indulgence of sport, one might say. Others say “I can’t wait to get back to normal”. What ever your view it has given us something else to talk about besides the weather etc. Some people find it very difficult to get enthusiastic about anything. Everything looks very grey and bleak in their life. Spare a thought for these people. Our healers try to help those who feel isolated and depressed.

A Hadleigh school now has its own dedicated Safer Schools Officer after a partnership project to promote greater links between the police, school and community began last month, in May. Suffolk Constabulary and Hadleigh High School have introduced Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Patricia Gibson as its Safer Schools Officer – thanks to funding from the Babergh East Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). The funding means Patricia will be able to engage with students, staff and families. Patricia from the Babergh East Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), will also be working towards a range of objectives, such as becoming a visible link between the school and police, helping to develop diversionary activities and using multi-agency problem solving techniques within the school. Safer School Partnerships (SSPs) are being created around the country and are formal arrangements between schools and police to work together to keep young people safe, reduce crime and improve behaviour. As part of these arrangements, a police officer or police community support officer will work at a school or cluster of schools with pupils and staff. Patricia will be building on the existing work of Police Education Partnership Officers who already provide structured lessons at Hadleigh High School. Patricia is initially focussing on a cyber bullying campaign to educate children at the school through assemblies and competitions. Patricia says, “Although there are no major problems at the school, my new role will involve improving the current relationship between the school and the police in order to benefit the local community. In the short amount of time I have already been here, I have found the children to be very receptive at lunch times and staff to be extremely supportive of my role. I am really excited about this opportunity and look forward to getting to know all the children and staff. “Previously I worked for three years covering the area of Shotley and I understand the importance of building strong links with schools. In Shotley I held regular school surgeries with the children and found these really useful in building trust and helping to resolve issues.” Head Teacher of Hadleigh High School, Caroline Gibson says, “Working with Patricia is an invaluable opportunity to improve pupils understanding of their rights and responsibilities, as well as enhancing their personal and social education.” Cllr Penny Clarke, Chairman of the Babergh Local Strategic Partnership, added: “The strategic partnership is delighted to have been able to fund the addition of a dedicated PCSO at Hadleigh High School. “It will help to reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour and to increase public confidence in the police, Babergh and the other organisations dealing with these issues.”

Dear Readers, Welcome to this months edition of police news from the Station. I would like to firstly take this opportunity to tell you about a very positive result we have had in court recently. Mark Davis, aged 50 from Mendlesham Road in Brockford, has just received an 8-year prison sentence for a series of burglaries on community venues and businesses across Suffolk, which stretched over a period of 18 months. During this time he stole items including cash and cigarettes worth almost £50,000. The following businesses were affected in the East Babergh area: Lady Lane Garage, Hadleigh October 2008 Raydon Pavilion November 2008 Boss Hoggs Café, Copdock February 2009 Stutton Community Shop March 2009 Chapel Gate Service Station, Capel September 2009 Stoke-by-Nayland Primary School November 2009 East Bergholt Primary School November 2009 Copdock Primary School November 2009 Washbrook Service Station February 2010 Detective Inspector Sowerby has issued a statement saying “Davis targeted facilities which are at the heart of their communities, such as shops, pubs, sports clubs and schools. These offences have impacted on people’s everyday lives and their feelings of safety within the areas in which they live and work. “His sustained level of offending across Suffolk over this period of time shows a blatant disregard for the law and other people. He was not afraid to use weapons to gain entry to premises and was audacious enough to continue to offend even after being caught on CCTV. Thankfully such a volume of acquisitive crime committed by one person is rare. “A dedicated team investigated these offences, supported by officers from neighbouring forces and local officers where Davis committed his crimes. Forensic work was also key to this investigation with footwear marks from Davis found at a number of premises he had broken into. I would like to thank all the officers and staff involved in bringing this case to a successful conclusion. “Today’s sentencing demonstrates that such offences are taken seriously by Suffolk Constabulary; they will not be tolerated and anyone who attacks community facilities and in turn the communities themselves will be arrested and prosecuted. We are committed to tackling these crimes, to ensure everyone in Suffolk feels and remains safe.” On a different note, at the time of writing we have just come through the first round of World Cup Group matches. We have seen popular support in our licensed premises, and it is pleasing to report that we have had no World Cup related incidents to deal with in Hadleigh. This is a trend we would like to continue throughout the rest of the tournament, but remind you to drink sensibly and respect the privacy of others when leaving pubs or parties to make your way home. It would be a shame to spoil the party atmosphere by being dealt with for public order offences! We are always open to receiving your views and comments and urge you to visit our website at www.safersuffolk.org.uk , phone us via the Police switchboard, or email us on babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk.

Hadleigh Playscheme

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF The Dean writes... I’m writing this just after spending two days on retreat – one of them leading a day and the other being a participant. The first one was at the privately owned Otley Hall, near Ipswich. If you have never been, the setting is beautiful: in the middle of the Suffolk countryside it has superbly maintained formal and natural gardens. The second day I joined other clergy and ministers (Readers & Lay Elders) from this area in nearby Monks Eleigh. The day was based at the United Reformed Church with use of privately owned wet meadows. Spending time on retreat simply means taking time out of your regular daily life to retreat – stand back or withdraw. It’s so easy to fill the diary up with things to do, and that’s not just people like me and those in business, but I hear that even those retired do it too. We even have to book a date and time ahead in the diary to visit our retired relatives. It’s the culture of this country. We are constantly striving to improve how efficient we are and increase our productivity. I’ve just been sent a copy of a new book by Tony Horsfall. On the cover it says ‘Working from a place of rest’. The blurb on the back-cover echoes my own words: ‘Exhaustion, burnout, tiredness, even breakdown….sadly, such conditions are all too common these days…..In striving to do our utmost…we can easily forget that there were many times when Jesus himself was willing to rest, to do nothing except wait for the Spirit’s prompting, so that he demonstrated the vital principal of working from a place of rest.’ For me, the two days of retreat have been an opportunity to stop and deliberately spend time with God. It’s a time to walk, doze, read, reflect in silence, stop and stare, share food…… whatever is necessary at the time. For me, it’s a concentrated time of prayer. I don’t mean sitting with my eyes closed and my hands together asking God to answer and do a host of things on my ‘heavenly shopping list’. If prayer is the way in which we and God communicate to each other, then we only have to walk and open our eyes to see the way in which God communicates to us through his creation, for that to be prayer. Spending time with the family, unhurried around the meal table, just sharing each others company can also be a fascist of prayer – yes, really! God created us and breathes his Spirit into us, and so when we take time to listen to each other (really listen) and interact, we hear each other, and in doing so we can also hear God. During the summer we have a couple of weeks holiday planned. It will be time for the family to retreat – enjoy each others company, explore a new area of the country and crash out! We may not be consciously aware of it, but God will be present, sharing our time, and importantly we will share his gifts of creation: each other, time, and so on. So – over the next two months, be good to yourself – you deserve it. You are God’s child, part of his creation, precious and loved by him. Take time to retreat – just for the main part of a day, may be a weekend. Take time to acknowledge that God is present and offer him all your concerns and the stuff that stops you enjoying life and allow God to pamper you for a while. Or, perhaps like us, you are going off on holiday soon. Whatever is right for you – have a great time – a relaxing time, and if you do nothing else – stop and thank God for it all. Enjoy summer – enjoy God. With my love and prayers

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre Phew! What a month this has been! I’m not sure where my head or my tail is; my Quiet Room has been like the M25 on a bad day, not that I have experienced this because, as you all know by now, I don’t go anywhere. So! What’s been happening at the Centre you are probably asking? We returned from the half term break and immediately started preparations for the Shelley Centre Open Day, which was held on Sunday 13th June and to follow that was the Stratford Hills Horse Trials. As in previous years it has been ‘All hands on deck’ with our open day being one of the major events of our Calendar. With planning of the Rides, organising the catering and invitations, Volunteers, Helpers and Riders I don’t envy the Committee their job leading up to this event as there is just so much to do; I just stand, with my circuits in a whirl, and watch it all happen. During the final week the maintenance team were tidying up; Instructors, Helpers and Riders were busy practicing their routine, even in the rain. On Saturday it was ‘Bath Night’ for the horses and the final cleaning of tack etc. We were open from 12.00hrs with the Arena Programme starting at 14.00hrs; I was pleased to see, looking out from my room, so many people arriving. The first ride was a Formation Ride, with musical accompaniment, by four of our Senior Riders followed by ‘Robin Hood and his Merry Men’, all kitted out in Lincoln Green, performing to the music of ‘Robin Hood’. We were then treated to an excellent display of ‘Warm up for Dressage’ by Jackie Gosling, riding Rocky, and Zoe Talbot, riding Shannon, who will both be representing the Centre at the National Finals at Hartpury during July; good luck to both of you and we will all be supporting you to come through for us! I can feel it in my circuits that you will do well. Finally, Simon Laurens, a 2008 Beijing Gold and Silver Medal Paralympic Rider, riding our own Parys, gave an impressive demonstration of the skills necessary to compete at such high level. Simon travelled all the way from Cheltenham, just for the day, to do this demonstration for us and, from what I was able to earwig, everyone was delighted and impressed by his performance and appreciative of him giving up his time to do so. I know the Herd enjoyed the day and were proud of their Riders who performed so well; Parys did confide in me that whilst she was proud to work with Simon she was very nervous of putting a hoof wrong with so many people watching. With the programme finishing, it was time for tea and cakes, no not for me, followed by the Prize Giving. Jan Derbyshire, our Chairman, made the announcements with Christine Stone, our Regional Chairman, making the presentations (See my Blog on our Website for a full list of those who received awards). Awards were made for Special Achievement in Riding over the past year with the Senior Cup going to Hannah Chapman: the Junior Cup to Luke Noble: the BABS & Ebony Cup to Helen Edwards and the Dressage Cup to Sarah Mitchell. The Helpers Service Awards included Pat Easton for 30 years service, wow! There was also a Shelley Centre nomination for Volunteer of the Year Award. I think it was a good day all round from what I was hearing. Just before I shut down to avoid a power surge, don’t forget your sponsorship for Looey Durling, a Helper, who is entering the London 10K Run on 11th July! Please do support her to help us.

Local Landscaping Firm Wins A “Silver Medal “ At “The Rhs Chelsea Flower Show” Some of you may have visited or more than likely watched “THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW” on television this year. What you probably didn’t realise is that a local firm “M R GENTRY LANDSCAPES” built one of the gardens. “The Bee Friendly Garden “ was entered in the “Courtyard Gardens” catergory. Many of you will be aware of the plight of bees, so the garden was of particular interest to a lot people. The garden won a silver medal. This a huge archievement for M R GENTRY LANDSCAPES as Michael only started the business about a year ago and it is a great tribute to the quality of his workmanship. A lot of preparation for Chelsea goes on before the actual show, as can be seen in the photographs, the work starts many weeks before the show. Many hours of hard work go into the gardens at Chelsea during the on site construction week. Michael and his friend both did well over a 110 hours during the week before the garden was opened to the public. I will let the photographs do the talking and would like to add that I am extremely proud of his achievement and I’m sure all his friends and family are as well. Considering when he first started working for me, he was just a shy seventeen year old. To hear he had won a silver medal bought tears to my eyes. I wish him every success in his business, which I’m sure he will have. No pressure next year for that gold!!

Film Review with Mat Lucas

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (12A, 116mins, Mike Newell) Although videogame inspired movies are a fairly new idea, the majority of adaptations already out there have received terrible reviews from the critics. Movies such as Hitman, Max Payne and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider have all been criticised for overly simple narratives and ‘wooden’ acting, however box office returns are generally high. This is undoubtedly down to the popularity of the videogame version, which is often the reason for an adaptation is the first place. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is no different; the videogame series has already seen three successful titles, with the film series likely to go the same way. Director Mike Newell, known primarily for his direction of Four Weddings and a Funeral, makes the transition from game to screen look effortless. The main character Dustan is played superbly by Jake Gyllenhaal, and even though an exact resemblance to the original character is not possible, Gyllenhaal adds his own traits to the role whilst also being relatable for fans of the games. Gyllenhaal is joined by costar Gemma Arterton, who plays Tamina. She is a mentally strong, young Princess and is constantly one step ahead of almost all the others characters in the film. Her hard line approach does become worn down though, as she must rely more and more on Dustan. The story centres on one dagger, which can be used to stop and rewind time. This dagger is protected by Tamina and her people; however one particular antagonist, who is revealed as the film progresses, wants to use the dagger to release the ‘sands of time’. This would enable them to travel back through time and chance what actually happened. The special effects used for the sequences which show time shifting backwards are amazing. This is not overdone either, as would be easily conceivable considering the source material allows for this kind of repetition. Although, if enough analysis is done, the film does falter in certain areas, however not nearly as much as other popular videogame adaptations. The plot stays reasonably solid throughout, however one twist may displease some cinema goers. It is also worth noting that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time steered clear of 3-D. This proves that not all blockbuster films need to make the transition, and films such as Clash of the Titans perhaps should have taken a leaf of the Prince of Persia book. Personal judgement: Thoroughly entertaining if not slightly childish at times. Rating: 3/5 26

Fidelis Visits Constable and Munnings Fifteen members met at the car park in Dedham for a walk and tour of the town’s historical buildings which was conducted by one of the Official guides from Colchester. It certainly made us look with fresh eyes at the many fine houses, the Church and the Almshouses amongst others. We also had a fascinating insight into the life and work of John Constable. We finished the tour at Castle House Museum where we were able to view the wonderful paintings by Alfred Munnings, wander in the house and grounds and have a cup of tea in the new tea-rooms. As refreshments are an important part of our walks a few of us ended up in the local restaurant for a cream tea and a chance to chat. This enjoyable afternoon was yet another successful event for Fidelis members. Carole Burner

It’s a funny old job for a woman The thought of spending an evening with a funeral director wouldn’t rate too highly with most on a scale of one to ten. Hearing about trade secrets sounds even more morbid. However, if the funeral director happens to be a lady called Melanie Hunnaball those in her company need have no fear. In a recent talk to Fidelis entitled “It’s A Funny Old Job for a Woman” members were fascinated by the nature and diversity of the work and how much was involved. Melanie is well aware that being a woman in a male dominated profession has its advantages and disadvantages. The ‘caring’ aspect of the job, which is so prevalent, is her forte. She and other female members of their family business care and support loved ones during and sometimes long after their bereavement. However, a feminine presence is not required or welcome at Islamic burials. Melanie also spoke about their support for national charities via their ‘Ladies in Hats’ calendar. (see photo) As with all jobs it is not without its anecdotes and, coming from a side of life about which we know so little, the ladies found these both amusing and amazing. She then fielded a large number of questions at the end of her talk reflecting the high level of interest in the subject. Jan Devey

SPORTS SHORTS: The bowls team travelled to Letchworth in the District Competition and found stiff opposition from Letchworth Howard Club who ran out worthy winners. A very nice lunch with the team afterwards made the journey worthwhile. SPEAKERS: 1 In a change from the normal routine, John Robinson, Club member, brought along a selection of newspapers and magazines from his extensive collection relating to the years in which members were aged 10. This provoked many memories and a few interesting stories. It was an entertaining evening with a difference. 2 Neil Catchpole, the Landscape and Biodiversity Officer for the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Stour Valley Project gave a presentation about his work and the area in which he operates. Previously a Tree Surgeon and Estate Manager, he is now responsible for 90 square miles of some of the most beautiful countryside in England. He showed some stunning slides of the various nature reseves and river valleys under his care. His projects include clearance of unwanted trees to bring back the original natural heathland important for many species of flora and fauna, provision of owls boxes in partnership with Suffolk Wildlife. About 80% of Barn Owls in the area now nest in these boxes and 14 young were reared last year. The organisation is funded by Central Government[50%] with County and District Councils making up the remainder so money is scarce now. Recently he has found 3 dead polecats or ferret crosses but accurate identification has been difficult although he hopes that it may indicate the spread of polecats to this area. He is interested in hearing from anyone who has found such an animal or who has lost a ferret cross Please ring 01473 264263 FUTURE PROGRAMME: The new Rotary Year begins with the Presidential handover on July 1st and speaker meetings will follow on 8th,15th,22nd and 29th.

Letter from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matter discussed at the May meeting of the Council were: Mrs Jane Gales and Mr David Pratt were re-elected un-apposed as Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Parish Council for the year 2010 – 11. Responsibilities held by members of the Council are to remain the same. A further meeting has been arranged with a Highways Engineer to discuss proposals for dealing with the narrow sections of pavement on Benton Street. Members of the council are concerned about the deterioration of the Marquis of Cornwallis building and grounds. Babergh District Council is to be approached again. The request for extension of the 30 mph limit on Stoke Road is being considered by SCC. Planning permission has been granted by BDC for the proposed extensions on 1 Upper Street and 3 Old Orchard. The Annual Parish Council accounts were approved and signed and passed to the auditors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE CLOSURE OF BENTON STREET 21-23 JULY 2010

Layham Playing Field Management Committee Annual Meeting The Annual Meeting was held in the Village Hall on Monday 7 June. No members of the public attended. The Treasurer (Graham Linge) reported a satisfactory financial situation with sufficient funds to cover the activities of the next year. The 100 Club is again fully supported by villagers – an important source of funding. The main achievement of 200910 was the purchase and erection of a basketball unit. We have also raised the funds to provide an area of multi-purpose hard surface butting up against the basketball unit. There has been further development of the conservation area including the control of poisonous giant hogweed and the planting of bluebells. Plans have been submitted for the provision of a small waste management area inside the field off Brett Green. This would be provided and operated by the Parish Council should funds be available to cover the cost. All twelve members of the committee have agreed to serve for another year and Terri Newman has taken on the Chairmanship for 2010-11. Terri’s phone number is: 01473 824993. Playing Field 100 Club The winners of the May Draw were: £15 Ticket No 44 Henderson £10 Ticket No 9 Riches From Layham Archive A village resident recently purchased the postcard shown here. It is a view of Lower Street about 100 years ago. Not too much has changed!

Benton Street will be closed to all traffic for three days – 21-23 July whilst it is re-surfaced. It is likely that there will be considerable traffic on Hook Lane during that period. Should you need to drive in to Hadleigh from Layham you may find it worth going via Shelley and Lower Layham. Pedestrians will be able to use the pavements.

Photography at that time required quite a long exposure of the film which meant that any people in the frame needed to stay still during the exposure. The lady in black and the gentleman lounging outside the pub are well posed. One wonders how the cyclist managed to stay in one upright whilst still!

Councillor Matthews as he had been unable to return from his holiday due to the volcanic cloud, were confirmed and signed. At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow the members of the public to bring to the attention of the Council concerns over inconsiderate parking in Clopton Gardens and requesting the Council investigates resident parking in this road; also concerns over the speed of traffic along Angel Street. It was agreed that residents parking on Clopton Garden be investigated and discussed by the Environment & General Purposes Committee. POLICING PC Paisley presented the Police Report for May and it was noted that 18 crimes had been recorded during the month. The offences comprised as follows: 7 thefts; 7 criminal damage; 2 arsons; 1 assault occasioning ABH and 1 driving motor vehicle with excess alcohol. PC Paisley reported that the two arsons reported did not fit the criteria of past arsons and had been carried out by two 13 year olds setting fire to hedges. There had been a reduction in crime in all areas which had produced the lowest crime rate in Suffolk for ten years. Sergeant Ian Watson starts his employment in Hadleigh on the 15th July 2010. PC Paisley commented on inconsiderate parking and the Police are including this in their report in the Community News parking laws. PCSO Mrs. J. Bignall in her efforts to enforce these laws received a lot of abuse from members of the public, many who believe it is their right to park where they want. On the matter of residents parking PC Paisley pointed out that these are not enforceable by the Police but are the District Council’s responsibility. Regarding Angel Street, unfortunately the Police’s priority is Benton Street and Stonehouse Car Park and enforcing the new restrictions. PC Paisley reported on a Police Authority meeting to be held on Friday 21st May which would be discussing the proposed opening times of two hours a day three times a week for Hadleigh Police Station. Councillor Grutchfield proposed a resolution: “Hadleigh Town Council has always supported the local police and feel that with the expansion of the town of 10,000 residents and a catchment area of 25,000 we should maintain the level of police, civilian and support staff and opening hours in the town and we hope that the Police Authority will take this into consideration.” This was carried unanimously. The Clerk would e.mail the above to PC Paisley who would forward it to the Police Authority in time for the meeting on Friday morning. PC Paisley responded to questions relating to parking in Clopton Gardens – could parents be requested to park in the Barclays Bank Car Park and a walking bus take the pupils to the school – concerns over the loss of the police station clerks and the good work they do with members of the public and an incident with an eleven year old boy. MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS The Clerk reported:i) a letter received from a visitor from Ipswich thanking Hadleigh Town Council for flying the flag of St. George on St. George’s day. ii) a letter received from Suffolk County Council advising of temporary road closures: B1070 Gallows Hill/Bridge Street between the A1071 and Corks Lane from 19th to 21st July and B1070 Benton Street between Station Road and Hook Lane from 21st to 23rd July 2010. iii) a letter received from Hadleigh Cricket Club advising the Council of their Bicentenary and a cricket week taking place between 20th and 23rd July. The Clerk was asked to contact Suffolk County Council advising them of the Cricket Club’s celebration as their proposed road closure would seriously affect access to the club’s ground. iv) a thank you letter from Mr. Burgess of Hadleigh REME Cadets for the grant received from Hadleigh Town Council. ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £18,739.06 be approved for payment. REPORTS It was agreed that the existing arrangements for the Police, County and District Councillors to give short reports at Council Meetings would continue. The Clerk requested the four District Councillors to provide written reports (or bullet points) to be sent out with Agendas. It was agreed that the Suffolk County Councillor and Babergh District Councillors reports would be moved on the Agenda to follow the Police reports. PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 29th April 2010 was noted. The Chairman drew members’ attention to the item reported by Councillor Mrs. M. Munson relating to the officer decision taken on the White Horse Planning Application. The Clerk had sent a letter of complaint to the Chief Executive of the District Council and had received an acknowledgement from Mr. M. Hammond, but to date no reply had been received. ANNUAL TOWN MEETING The Clerk reported that around 20 people attended this Annual Meeting. The format of the meeting had changed and she thanked Mr. Roger Kennell and the Rev’d Martin Thrower for being the speakers at the meeting and providing such interesting points of view.

HADLEIGH TOWN FORUM The Minutes of the Meeting of the Forum held on the 31st March 2010 was noted. The Chair put forward the Forums suggestion that the Town has an official Town Cryer. It was felt due to the cost implications the Town Council could not consider an official Town Cryer at the present time. REPORT OF THE DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Written reports had been received from Councillors Mrs M. Munson and R. Whiting. Councillor Mrs. M. Munson had brought to the attention of the Council the closure of the information point in Hadleigh Library as Babergh District Council had withdrawn the £2,000 funding. It was felt that this was a great loss to the town especially with the forthcoming Olympics which would be bringing tourists to the area. It was agreed that the Council would issue a press release making residents aware of the loss. Councillor Riley congratulated Councillor Mrs Byrne on her election as Town Mayor. He reported that he had been working on Babergh’s Treasury Management Strategy and that the planning application to turn Crumbs Bakery into a Takeaway had been rejected by the Development Committee. He finished by congratulating Councillor David Grutchfield on his 21 years service as a County Councillor and presented him with a gift. Councillor Grutchfield had attended the Stewardship Committee. He supplied the Clerk with a copy of the Treasury Management, the Council’s accounts and IFRS Member Workshop papers for her information. REPORT OF THE COUNTY COUNCILLOR Councillor Grutchfield reported that he had attended the audit committee and was still concerned over 106 agreements. He had been informed that the adopted roads in Hadleigh had not now been adopted and this was something the County Council were working on. He had visited the new Fire Station which is due to be opened in the near future and which provides a study room available for hire. BABERGH COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS 2011 Hadleigh Town Council was being asked to nominate a member to sit on the judging panel of these awards for the next three years.

HEADLINES We are very pleased to have PCSO Tricia Gibson joining our school community. Many schools have now been assigned a PCSO as pilot trials in other local authorities have indicated that these partnerships are helpful in ensuring our young people have an understanding of their responsibilities as future citizens as well as having an impact in terms of crime prevention. PCSO Gibson is our designated police community support officer who is part of the national initiative - Safer School Partnerships (SSPs). Safer School Partnerships (SSPs) are being created around the country and are formal arrangements between schools and police to work together to keep young people safe as well as reduce crime. This programme is designed to promote cohesion within communities as well as establish ever more positive relationships between the police and the local community. I am very pleased to welcome Trisha to our school and look forward to forging further links which will benefit our pupils. So far PCSO Trisha Gibson has been providing assemblies to all our pupils, educating them regarding internet safety and cyber bullying. We are lucky to have strong links with PCSO Gibson whose role in school is to support our pupils’ education regarding rights and responsibilities as well as contributing to the life of our school community. PCSO Gibson is keen to build close links with Hadleigh and contribute to trips, clubs and activities for our pupils.

Parent Governor As you are reading this, the school is in the stages of electing a new parent governor. Being a parent governor is a very important role; representing the school at various government body meetings. To whichever lucky candidate is appointed the job, we welcome them and wish them well.

Music The Music Department have been particularly busy this month involving themselves in various activities. The Voice Squad, Swing Band, and various solo artists have been showing off their tremendous talent around in Suffolk – from St. Mary’s church to Woolpit village hall. These concerts raised over £1,500 for charity and the music department are especially grateful to all those who turned up out to these occasions. The summer concert was also a great success-as ever- well done.

Community Links Over the last two weeks, the school has been visited by PCSO Trisha Gibson, as part of a new national initiative- Safer School Partnerships (SSPs). These are new formal arrangements between schools and the Police to help keep young people safe, while also reducing crime. PCSO Gibson is now our designated community support officer, and has been presenting assemblies to all years, highlighting the dangers regarding internet safety and cyber-bullying. These new partnerships have been found to be very helpful in educating young people and ensuring understanding of their responsibilities in later life, as well as having a large impact on crime prevention. We are very pleased to have PCSO Gibson working with us, and we hope to continue forging links to

further benefit the pupils, and the community.

Year 10 Work Experience Starting June 14th, all Year 10 pupils will take two weeks out of school in order to take part in the school’s annual Work Experience fortnight. This always proves to be a very popular and useful event, as not only does it give pupils a first-hand experience of a workplace environment, it also gives them an insight into the inner workings of a business, vital knowledge to have as the students prepare to enter their final year of secondary education.

“Eco School” As many will be aware, Hadleigh High School runs a very active “Eco Club”, who work hard to make this school as efficient and eco-friendly as possible. This term is no exception, as they have been hard at work running a ‘carbon diet’ event, in addition to their ongoing recycling project and the current redevelopment of our outdoor learning area. Since last month, the club has been looking at ways in which we can cut our energy usage, the aim being “to contribute to the reduction in use of energy and its cost to the environment as well as our energy bills!”

Sports Report Swimming Hadleigh High is well known for its many great-quality swimmers, and this month continued to show this. Francesca King has been working toward a regional qualifying time this season, only just missing out in 2009. Her determination and hard work was reflected at the West Suffolk Open meet before half-term, as she smashed her personal best for the 100m backstroke by almost a second; recoding a total time of 1:13.28. We wish Frankie the best of luck as the joins the Regional Squad. Athletics The South Suffolk competitions are well underway, with some notable achievements. The Year 10 boys’ team finished in a runners-up position; a proud achievement, considering the number of injuries and absences they sustained. The Year 9 boys’ team has qualified for their final, which will take place on Wednesday, 16th June at Northgate Sports Centre. However, due to a conflicting school trip to London scheduled for the same day, the boys will be unable to take part. During half-term Kieran Clements ran the youth 1,500m in the AAAs Southern Counties’ championships. Following a relatively slow start Kieran took the lead and, with a sprint finish, held on to 3rd place. With a finishing time of 4 minutes, this earned him a well-deserved bronze medal. Congratulations! Following their outstanding performances in the recent Suffolk trials, Toby Rankin has been chosen to compete in the 800m and George Johnson in the 100m and 200m in the upcoming East Anglian Athletics Championships, Did You Know? which are due to be held later in the month.

first 5 minutes, however after the Hadleigh boys found their feet they began to play. James Robinson struck first to give the fans something to cheer about. Hadleigh battled hard which led them going in to the break 1-0 up. With a pleased manager and assistant manager, the second half began with a stroke of bad luck when the ball fell to Westbourne’s striker for an easy finish. Hadleigh were soon to get one back when the ball fell to Drey Wright to put Hadleigh back in front. After a few moments of drastic defending, the ball was cleared to Drey Wright who found the back of the net once again. With Hadleigh playing the game out to the end, James Robinson managed to creep in another goal. The game had been very well earned. Congratulations to the Year 10 team and good luck with next season. Well done lads. This is the second year running they have won the league and cup double.” Written by Liam Self, Georgia Redgrave and Lucy Evans

More of us are growing our own fruit and vegetables, either in gardens, allotments or even window boxes. Local produce is also readily available in various shops in and around Hadleigh. In July produce available includes salad leaves, new potatoes, carrots, broad and french beans, peas, beetroot and soft fruits. Most soft fruit can be frozen but strawberries have a high water content and taste best eaten freshly picked. There are various recipes for Summer Pudding but a basic one follows. The types of fruit used can be varied depending on what is available but keep a balance between the tart currants and sweeter berries. This is best made a day in advance to allow the flavours to mix. Summer Pudding (Serves 4-6) 175g (6oz) each redcurrants and blackcurrants 225g (8oz) each raspberries and strawberries 85g (3oz) caster sugar (approx weight depending on taste) 7 or 8 slices of white bread with crusts removed Put currants and sugar in a saucepan over a low heat – simmer for 2-3 minutes add the raspberries for l minute- make sure sugar has melted and remove from heat. Drain fruit over a bowl to collect juice. Hull and halve strawberries and add to other fruit. Dip bread in the fruit juice, making sure not to leave any white marks, and use to line a 2 pint pudding basin or souffle dish. Make sure there are no gaps and reserve enough bread to make a top. Fill with fruit – if you have enough bread put a layer half way – then add lid. Place a plate on top, weigh down and put in refrigerator, preferably overnight. Remove from fridge and gently turn out onto a serving plate. Food waste is being talked about in the media and tickets in local car parks have recently included information about this. Suggestions included: grating cheese and freezing; freezing sliced bread which can be toasted for quick use, put ripe fruit in the fridge.

The hottest weekend of the year saw us welcoming nearly 60 French visitors from Hadleigh’s twin towns of Rousies, Ferriere la Grande and Ferriere la Petite to a very sunny Suffolk. It began with a rousing welcome from the children of Bildeston Primary School singing and playing instruments at a champagne reception in Hadleigh’s Royal British Legion Social club. Our very new Mayor Jan Byrne; who only stepped into the office the night before; gave a warm welcome to the French many of whom had been to Hadleigh on previous exchanges but also several new visitors. On Saturday we took them on an interesting open top bus ride around Ipswich which was followed by a garden party provided by Bob & Maureen Newton; two of our members who live in Ipswich. There they were treated to another choral delight this time by a group from the Ipswich Gilbert & Sullivan Society. In the evening we had our formal dinner and dance in Hadleigh Town Hall; venue courtesy of the Town Council. We were presented with a lovely framed watercolour montage of Rousies & surrounding area which will be hung in the Town Hall complex. An excellent meal was followed by dancing to Country Laws and some of the Hadleigh members were able to perform a few line dances learnt during the last year. Another bright morning saw the members of both committees at a linguistically challenged meeting in the seminar room at Hadleigh library where a date was set for our visit to France next May. We all had to leave toute suite to get on the coach in time to be at Felixstowe for fish and chips at noon. Felixstowe was uncharacteristically hot! So a few brave feet were paddled in the North Sea whilst others lounged around The Hut or wandered along the prom. After lunch we took the French to Landguard Fort where they were told it was built to keep the French out! Back in Hadleigh for the evening where we again danced the night away this time to local band DeJaVu at Hadleigh United Football Club. Monday morning saw us all up early to wave au revoir from the Hadleigh bus station in Magdalen Road. It had been a very intense weekend and thanks go to our very hardworking committee and the members who hosted our French friends especially those who stepped in at the last minute and found out what fun we have in the Twinning! In order to be able to entertain the French the HDTA holds various fundraising events throughout the year ranging from wine tasting to fashion shows. Without our members support we would not be able to offer such an exciting programme to our twins. If you would like to join the HDTA, attend our fundraising functions and maybe visit France with us next year please contact our chairman Peter Matthews; 01473 828233.

GRANDFATHER’S SCHOOL SOOT! or Getting the Ansell Centre into Good Shape

JULIE AND JULIA (12A) £3, FRIDAY 16th JULY at 7.30 pm What’s Cooking in our Cinema this July ? Our film presentation is JULIE & JULIA a comedy drama depicting events in the life of Julia Child, an American chef during the early years of her culinary career. The other side of the culinary spoon is Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child’s cookbook! There are few more civilized, and yet delightful films around than this since in it we meet two real-life women who never met. The film is based on Child’s autobiography and also a memoir by Julie Powell. Julia Child became a major figure in introducing French cuisine to American culinary circles and as a result a prolific author of cookery books . Julie Powell found less enduring fame by writing a blog as she cooked her way through Child’s most famous work – all 734 pages on Mastering the Art of French Cooking. In 2005 her experiences became the bestseller “Julie & Julia : 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Kitchen” – the basic ingredients for our July film. Meryl Streep who is no stranger to our film screen is cast as Julia Child supported by Amy Adams who previously starred together in our recently shown film DOUBT. JULIE & JULIA has enjoyed excellent reviews. Here are just two: • A highly polished piece of up-market entertainment, brimming with beautiful interiors. If you throw in the lavish helping of food porn it’s almost like a colour supplement come to life. • Hollywood makes few movies aimed at older females because young men are much easier to satisfy. “Julie & Julia” is that rare film targeted at your mum, but we know you will enjoy it too.

Although the Digital Cinema and Lunch Clubs are organised by the Ansell Community Centre Committee, the actual Ansell Centre building is still owned and run by the United Reformed Church and is part of a remarkable inheritance of buildings. Once known as the School Hall, the Ansell Centre was built in 1863 as a day school at a time when as parents you didn’t have to send your children to school. The formal name was the ‘British School’ because that distinguished it from the ‘National School’ run by the Church of England. The British School in Hadleigh had its origins in a warehouse in Duke Street in 1841; now long gone apart from one wall. The Congregationalists (that’s the forerunners of the URC) were ardent advocates of education for the masses seeing its importance in terms of meeting a social need. In 1841 they were probably also conscious that at the silk mill down the road it was becoming mandatory for the owners to educate the children who worked there and they wanted to avoid an Anglican monopoly! The new 1863 building as a school was modern and was state of the art. It was purpose designed by high profile Ipswich architect Frederick Barnes, who had trained under Sidney Smirke, the architect of the British Museum and included features like the impressive sash panelled partitions that once could divide the main hall, the built-in gas lighting and a now long gone bell tower of Caen stone. In recent times the structure has not been in the best of repair and we had to ask the question, could this building still meet the social needs of the town today? We believe that it can:, particularly with the vision to refurbish the church itself. And although perhaps not obvious when just walking in and out of the building, repair work is well under way. So no longer should the tea being served in the Ansell Centre kitchen be blended with the rain water dripping from the ceiling! And no longer should there be a need to continually replace the mastic on the toilet roof; the rain water should now have no excuse but to the use the drain pipes provided. The unused chimney stacks that once served the numerous fire places in the Ansell Centre when it was a day school and which must have contributed to a smoke haze over the town, had in recent years been pulling apart. The stacks have now been rebuilt by a local tradesman, Tommy Clark. And yes, you can still pick the soot off the inside of the flues; a solidified reminder of the coal fires that once warmed my Grandfather and his school chums in the 1890s. There is still a lot to do! Those large sash windows in the main hall that once gave light and a bit of ventilation to the harsh regime of 19th century schooling, will soon be back to a rot-free and working condition. And I am sorry, but the spring in the floor on the sunny side of the Ansell Centre that dancers may appreciate, will have to go; if you haven’t noticed, some of the under floor supports appear not as they were. Unfortunately, as the work enters the inside of the Ansell Centre, for safety reasons, the Centre will, in due course, have to be closed to users for a few weeks. The plan is to have most of the work completed this calendar year. There will still be much minor and smartening-up work to be done and that will take a bit longer. As to the future, well we hope the Ansell Centre together with the church building and the adjoining School House, will continue to serve the town and its social needs, however they may manifest themselves, for many years to come. Nigel Crisp (on behalf of Hadleigh URC)

Slimming Expert Wins Award Helping people achieve their dreams, especially when it comes to losing weight, is no mean achievement. Slimming World Consultants are well known for being the most dedicated when it comes to real help and support through one of the most difficult things anyone ever has to do in their lives. So winning a special award for doing just that is pretty exceptional. Yvonne Skinner, who holds a group at the Guildhall, Hadleigh, on Thursdays says “ This job is so very special. Watching someone change from having no confidence, being embarrassed about their size and wearing shapeless clothes to someone who looks and feels great, brings its own rewards on a daily basis. But to have your work recognised in this way is, I must admit, a very proud moment for me.” In the last three months Yvonne has helped members lose more than 74 stones, making Hadleigh one of the best weight losing areas in the country. So well done to Yvonne and well done to the slimmers of Hadleigh.

It’s back... The “summer glow” body treatment

Our informal June meeting got off to a spendid start with a visit to a members allotment. It was hard to believe the allotment had only been started two years ago. The selection of vegetables was vast, and lots of tips were gained, especially how to keep pests away from valuable crops. Old black buckets with the bottoms removed placed over young cabbages etc. protected the vunerable plants from rabbits. Come and chat to Dave at our next meeting if you want to find out more. Off to the next garden in Hadleigh town centre, hidden behind the house, was a real wildlife haven, complete with greenhouses, pond and rampant kiwi vines. Down Benton Street to a well ordered garden, stocked with wonderful plants, a real plantsmans garden. Garden number four in Layham had a spectacular display of purple alliums, hardy geraniums and rambling roses, to name but a few. Spending half an hour in each of the four members gardens gave us a chance to test our knowledge of plant names and pick up useful cultivation tips. All this garden visiting had given us an appetite, so our last stop was at the Chairman’s house on the outskirts of Hadleigh. Some members wandered around the 4 acre grounds, others retired to the conservatory. In no time we were all enjoying a tasty supper. Our two summer outings are to Spencers at Great Yeldham and Wisley RHS garden in Surrey. Our next formal meeting will be in August in the URC community room on 9th August.

Hadleigh Gardens Open Gardens Sunday July 18th Woodwards Coddenham Sunday July 24th Larks Hill Tuddenham Sunday August 1st Rosedale Bures Personal Thoughts The garden club meeting for June was a visit to 5 members gardens followed by an excellent supper. It was interesting that all the gardens had very different characters showing just how wide can be the interpretation of the word garden. One that we visited was an immaculate allotment off of Gallows Hill. I had not visited these allotments before, and it is clear that they have significant "challenges" from wild life particularly rabbits and pigeons. The gentleman whose allotment we visited has come up with a novel solution to protecting his brassica plants. He uses the thin plastic buckets the are used to deliver flowers to florists with the bottom cut out placed rim down over each individual plant when he plants them out. On the 31st May another 18 amateur crop protection products disappeared from sale, due to the withdrawal of approval for the insecticide "bifenthrin". The best known product is probably the highly regarded Rose Clear 3. The good news is that you can continue to use it for the next year. After that if you use it you will be breaking the law. (Full List on HSE web site). To be fair to the authorities some of the recent withdrawals have been because there is a suspicion that they are affecting honey bees, and there is a lot of concern about the health of honey bees in the UK. However the leaf cutting bees which live in my greenhouse are doing well nesting in my pots of cacti. I must try and provide them with alternative homes as sometimes they disturb the roots of the cacti with fatal results. Also I know the location of two underground bumble bee homes in my vegetable patch. Weather Records In May we had 20.9 mm (0.8") of rain. This is better than last month but still only about 40% of the average monthly rainfall. We have now had 3 rather dry months and the rolling 3 month figure has dropped to 62.9 mm (2.5") which is little more than 1 months average rainfall. My garden was extremely dry, but happily at the beginning of June we have had some rain. In early June the ground temperature is 14 Cel (57F) so everything is growing nicely. The maximum temperature in May was 26 Cel (79F) and the minimum was 2 Cel (36F). These are quite typical maximum and minimum temperatures for May. Hints July is a good month for cutting and drying herbs and lavender for winter use. The lavender should be cut just before the flowers are fully open. It is also a good month for lifting and dividing Irises that have flowered. Select the biggest single rhizomes for replanting, and cut half of the leaves off. Do not plant too deeply. The tops of the rhizomes should be above the soil. If you grow plants in pots this tends to be the time of the year when growth is vigorous, and roots start to appear out of the bottom of the pots so that re-potting is necessary. When re-potting I often use the old pot as a "mould" for filling the new pot. I crock the new pot, put some compost in the bottom, stand the old pot on it, and fill in round the sides. Removing the old pot then leaves a neat hole into which to drop the plant. The potting compost you buy for your house plants, and containers will feed them if the plants are growing well for 5 to 6 weeks. After this they will need some extra nourishment. There are various ways of providing this. The "modern" way is to use pellets of one of the slow release fertilizers. These will release their contents slowly over the season, so it is a once a year job. The alternatives are soluble fertilizers like Phostrogen and Miraclegro which you dissolve in water and then water the containers. The liquid feed needs repeating every couple of weeks. Ideally different plants require different mixes of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium and the general fertilizers which I have mentioned are a compromise. Chempac make a range of soluble fertilizers blended to suit particular plants for example one for African Violets and a different one for Cacti. These are worth using for your special plants.

Loving Destiny The love is gone, you took it away. On that Sunday, late in May. You had met another, who stole your heart. So many years shared, now torn apart. Funny thing, I cannot say anything bad. Nor do I feel bitter, jealous or sad. I loved you deeply,passionately, thought I had found my soulmate, it is true. Now I realise, that was not you. I have happy memories, so many and they make me smile. In no rush to meet someone new, will give it a while. I wish you well, you were obviously not meant for me. In fact, thankyou, you have set me free. Everything happens for a reason, what will be, will be, I say. Happy, gentle, kind, is how I wish to stay. I truly believe, there is someone out there, just for me. One day, yes one day, I will meet my loving destiny.

All Work And No Play ….! Two play areas in Sudbury are being given a facelift - worth nearly £40,000 - thanks to Lottery funding and planning development cash. The play areas, at Raleigh Close and Aubrey Drive, were earmarked for new equipment after regular checks on the parks Babergh manages uncovered that existing equipment had reached the end of its useful lifespan. Raleigh Close will have two areas - one for toddlers and a dedicated teenzone. The toddler are will have a new dinosaur play frame and slide, a springer and a small picnic table, while the teenzone has an air rider, a rota rock, spinner and a youth shelter and meeting point. This equipment and installation is costing £28,000. And in Aubrey Drive, a new basket swing, rocker and a spring seesaw have been installed at the cost of £11,000. Jo Seymour, Babergh's Horticutural Officer, said: "Babergh is delighted to be giving these two parks a muchneeded facelift. Children love playing outdoors and one of Babergh's priorities is to ensure the community is healthier, so we are only too happy to make that outside experience a more pleasurable one where we can. "Babergh firmly believes all children and young people have a right to play and that play is essential for a child's development and well-being.” "Babergh would also like to thank the residents in each area, who have had to put up with disruption while the work was ongoing, for their understanding and patience." The work being carried out has been made possible by successful bids for Lottery funding and from money secured through Section 106 agreements - secured from private developers to offset any impact of their development on the local community. All of the old equipment removed will be recycled.

Best halloween screams in the Uk – Top accolade for Kentwell Hall! Kentwell Hall in Long Melford – famous for its Re Creations of Tudor, World War 11 and Victorian Life is delighted to have won the prestigious Screamie Award for the Best Halloween Event in the UK at the recent Screamie Award ceremony in London. The awards are operated in association with ScareCon, Scare & Attractions UK and Haunted Magazine with various categories including that won by Kentwell Hall. With over 120 Scare Attractions entering who were active in the UK last year competition was fierce in all categories. Operating over the Halloween period – Kentwell's 'Scaresville' has been delivering the scariest experience in Suffolk for over 2 years with each year, without doubt, delivering even more scares than the previous year. Voted for by the public the Screamie awards are a true recognition of what visitors like when it comes to real scares and provide an independent way of identifying some of the best attractions and events around the country. Said Patrick Phillips - owner of Kentwell Hall “We are absolutely delighted to have won this award and the recognition that Kentwell Hall is delivering the very best Halloween experience in the UK. We have worked hard each year since 'Scaresville's' conception to ensure our scares and the visitor experience at 'Scaresville' delivers the most spine tingling and frightening - not only in Suffolk but in the UK and this award collaborates our efforts'. We have been planning 'Scaresville' 2010 for some time which we plan to be better and more challenging than previous 'Scaresville's and great fun for all – but its not for the faint hearted!”

Search & Rescue Needs Your Help

A Huge Thank You

The flat lands of East Anglia are not synonymous with the phrase Search & Rescue, but working closely with Suffolk police is a group of volunteers, ready and willing to turn out 24/7 in any weather. They are Suffolk Lowland Search & Rescue or SULSAR for short. We are the lowland equivalent of Mountain Rescue, formed specifically to help the Police find vulnerable missing people in Suffolk. We are a charity & have been active for 11 years. The group is made up of approx 50 people from all walks of life and all ages from 18 years up, based all over Suffolk and adjoining counties. SULSAR are activated by the police when a vulnerable person is reported missing. This could be a child, an Alzheimer’s sufferer who may have become lost or a depressed person who may have nowhere to turn in a crisis and decides to self harm or take their own life. The group is trained in many aspects of Search and Rescue techniques, such as navigation, first aid, search methods, communication and much more. Training is ongoing, normally one evening and one Sunday a month at various locations in Suffolk. The group works as a team with many people becoming close friends, so it’s a great way to meet new people. Finding missing people is our objective. Hopefully they are alive, like the recent case of the 15yr old boy in Groton or the elderly patient missing from West Suffolk Hospital. Unfortunately not all are found alive like the Southwold teenager in early 2009, but in all cases it is important for the relatives to know where their loved ones are. We average approximately 20 callouts a year. We always need new members, so if you want to spend time outdoors and train for a worthwhile purpose why not call 0845 0091720 or go to www.sulsar.org.uk and become part of a motivated team. We are a voluntary charity & survive on donations, so if you would like to give something, please go to our web site to find details of how to donate.

Carl and Sharron from Crabtrees would like to say a huge “Thank you” to everyone who came to support our music day on 31st May. We were packed and “sorry” to those of you who could not squeeze in. Jordan Moat opened the session playing guitar and singing some recent chart hits plus some of his own material. Next was Sam Kingston’s band covering the likes of Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon and some of his own material which a number of the audience knew well. We then had a session from Ally Newbigging on guitar and vocals. Thanks Ally for stepping in when The Cads had to pull out last minute due to work commitments. Jake Cardy followed with a swing session which went down well. Last, but by no means least we had a brilliant performance from well known local band Steel Pictures. The acts are well known locally and the support they received was tremendous. We have already been asked to repeat the day. So if you would like to showcase your musical talents at Crabtrees in the near future just contact us and we’ll see if we can accommodate you. Meanwhile, our Friday night live music continues to go from strength to strength and we have had some outstanding performers. Everyone is welcome and it’s FREE Entry. You really should give it a try.

Sheryl is 30!

R Y L E N E S C AT T E R Y Tesco Supporters Group

Wallow Lane, Naughton Nr. Hadleigh, Suffolk IP7 7BZ

At a meeting of Tesco Supporters, held at the Royal British Legion Hall, Hadleigh, on 8th June 2010, a large gathering of residents were addressed by Mr Nick Gallatly, Tesco Corporate Affairs Manager, assisted by his colleague Mr Francis Mallinson, on the progress of the Tesco application for a store on the Brett Works site in Hadleigh. Negotiations with the District Planning Officers have been progressing well and the final modifications to the plans have now been completed. These are now to be discussed by the Councillors of Babergh District Council in the near future, and this time it is hoped they will be approved. During open discussion support for the store was overwhelming, and the need for an additional store in the town emphasised. The main points raised were the need for an additional retail outlet in the town to give choice, and provide a wider range of good quality products at a reasonable cost. The point was raised that, currently, it is costly, time consuming and environmently bad to make a 20 mile round trip simply to shop at the nearest supermarket. We should have on of our own. The meeting closed with general discussion and in a really buoyant mood. R.H.H.Smith

Dear Sir On this day, Tuesday the 8th of June, 2010, I attended a meeting with an estimated number of 60+ supporters of the Hadleigh Tesco Group. Hosted by The Royal British Legion here in Hadleigh, and arranged by Tesco Ltd. The meeting was both constructive, and Informative, much was expressed, on the need for another food outlet in this ever growing town of ours. The best part of those in attendance, were of pensionable age, and the need to be able to shop locally, with a wider choice of products, and at a reasonable price was evident, with all. There was in attendance a couple of retired persons, who had shopped at many Tesco stores over a period of 40 years, and at a rough estimate had spent over £150,000 on food, and the the petrol to get too and fro from these stores. You can see the savings on petrol alone, to have our food stores here in Hadleigh. That is where the need for a Tesco's to be with us here in Hadleigh. We are almost there!!!!!! John Caley

Dear Sir In the April issue of the Community News, you were kind enough to lead the issue with an article about our efforts to raise funds for the Steven Henly Prize. We would like to thank you very much for giving the article such prominence. We are delighted to report that we have so far raised the splendid sum of almost £1,500, and accordingly we would like to express our thanks to all those who have donated towards our cause. We would like to extend special thanks to a number of people who have given their time and effort (as well as money) to help us - specifically Christine Marsh, Toni Newman and Zoe Connolly of the Leisure Centre, for their unstinting support and in particular for organising and taking part in the walk along the Railway Walk which raised over £100. Also Lynn Neech and Lesley Cook of Beadelles for their sales of handmade jewellery in the Leisure Centre over two weeks, which raised £100. We have also received an extremely generous donation from the Hadleigh Thrift Shop, many thanks to Barbara Boyd. We would also like to thank Hadleigh Rugby Club in advance for organising a raffle of some signed rugby memorabilia (including an England shirt signed by the England captain) at their Beer Festival in early July. We really appreciate and value the support we have received from the people of Hadleigh - thank you so much. Zahra and Bob Henly

Dear Sir I would like to thank the two young ladies who came to my aid yesterday, 8th June, I had a nasty fall in Angel Street around 1.30 pm. They were so kind, one even drove me to destination, Duke Street afterwards. Once again ladies, many thanks for your help. Pat Woodberry

Lisa and Tristan Benson have re-opened the Crumbs Bakery in Long Bessels (off Angel Street near the Catholic church). The bakery had been closed for more than six months and the premises were recently the subject of a planning application to turn the site in to a fried chicken takeaway. Tristan was formerly with The Food Company in Colchester and has absorbed their philosophy that to succeed you need to be passionate about the food you buy, produce and sell. Talking of his experiences he said that coming to Hadleigh seemed like a fantastic opportunity to have his own business dealing directly with the public and providing attractive and wholesome bread, cakes, sandwiches, sausage rolls and so on. “I know that there is a great demand for good tasty food – last week our scones were flying off the shelves before they had fully cooled down”. Tristan added: “We make on site here at Crumbs everything we sell, none of the products are bought in, so customers can be guaranteed fresh home-produced bread, cakes and other bakery products every day. We have also extended our opening hours compared with the old Crumbs bakery as we know that some customers need to shop early, but others prefer to do so later in the afternoon.” Lady Mayor, Jan Byrne formally opened the bakery and said how she welcomed the new business and wished it every success in providing a personal retail service to the people of Hadleigh. Kathryn Grandon-White, who lives near Crumbs Bakery says: “Like many other people in the area, I was very concerned when there was the possiblity of a take-away opening in this residential part of Hadleigh, but now the local community are delighted that Lisa and Tristan have opened Crumbs. I can already recommend their bread and quiche and my children devoured their delicious cakes very quickly!” Councillor Brian Riley, who had played a leading role in defeating the fried chicken takeaway application, said that he was pleased to be able to endorse the new bakery and that it represented community in action in providing good local food to local people. He wished Lisa and Tristan every good wish on their new endeavours and hoped that their business would be supported by everyone in Hadleigh.

Slimming World's Curry Heaven cookbook promises weight loss 'second to naan' Curries are officially the Brits’ favourite dish, and it’s no surprise that our passion for chicken tikka masala and onion bhajis has coincided with the growing size of our waistlines. Most curries are loaded with fat and salt, and a typical takeaway can contain a whole day’s worth of calories for an average woman. But that doesn’t mean curry has to be off the menu when you’re watching your waist. A new Curry Heaven recipe book from Slimming World proves that you can enjoy all your favourite curries at home for a fraction of the cost and calories of a takeaway or ready meal. Slimming World Consultant Yvonne who runs a Slimming World group in Hadleigh explains: “Takeaway curries are seriously high in fat, so people wanting to lose weight probably think they have to give up one of their favourite meals – and that feeling that you’re depriving yourself makes it hard to stick with a weight loss plan. However, it’s really easy to make curries that are just as delicious but contain a fraction of the fat, and our new curry cookbook is full of easy recipes the whole family can enjoy guilt free!” Food Optimising is a healthy eating programme for healthy appetites. Generous and flexible, it encourages slimmers to fill up on naturally filling, healthy foods like fruit and veg, rice and potatoes, fish and lean meat, so they can enjoy real food, never go hungry and still lose weight. Yvonne says: “Eating healthy doesn’t have to meaning eating boring. It’s the spices that make curry dishes what they are, not the fats. Our recipes dramatically cut down on the amount of oil, butter and cream traditionally used in curries, so they’re healthier and just as tasty. My members are raving about the recipes in the new book because they’re losing weight without having to compromise on flavour or choice. “The book has recipes for everything from starters such as onion bhajis and vegetable samosas to hot and spicy main dishes like classic chicken curry and beef madras or Kerala-style fish, classic pilau rice and aloo gobi. The tasty curry creations fill 120 pages of splendidly illustrated dishes created especially for Slimming World members to enjoy as often as they like!” The new Curry Heaven recipe book is available at a price of £4.95 per copy to Slimming World members at all 6,700 Slimming World groups nationwide.

Winners Of Newton Green 36 Hole Events Newton Green Golf Club has two new champs after 36hole events to decide the best man and woman in the club. Greg Hills, who plays off two and recently joined Newton, won the men’s title when he edged home ahead of Ian Woodhead by one shot with a two-round score of 146. The 24-year-old has also won the individual Gainsborough and Constable course titles at neighbouring Stoke-by-Nayland in the last year. However, he cannot play for Newton in their Suffolk Hambro Cup campaign this year because of being “cup-tied” as a result of playing in equivalent Essex competitions recently with Stoke. Greg plays in the Suffolk Men’s second team alongside fellow Newton single handicapper Adam Woodhead. The Newton ladies’ championship has been won by Claire Aldous, who is now a regular Suffolk second team player, and her latest success at club level means she has pulled off a hat-trick of titles.

Bookings and sponsorship boost for Golf Club Efforts to improve the use of its club house and develop more sponsorship are being made by Newton Green Golf Club. It has just started a promotional programme to bring more events to the club, and also brought a new recruit on board to develop sponsorship opportunities in the form of Ted Clarkson. Paddy Lockwood, club captain, said: “Major sports clubs serving the Sudbury area, such as the football and rugby clubs, have made considerable moves forward with facilities for the public. “We believe the golf club has an important niche role to play in this lineup because we have very well appointed, yet smaller, function rooms that can be used individually or together to cater for gatherings from 30 to up to 100 people. “On top of this we have a very good in-house catering facility that can operate at competitive prices. We already have a very good custom base for outside bookings, but know there is a lot more potential. “We also feel this is the same in respect of sponsorship. We have an excellent main sponsor in Jonathan Lambert, plus others, but we need someone with the time to pursue other opportunities. “To this end, one of our members, Ted Clarkson, is taking on this responsibility. He has a wealth of experience in connection with the running of several local sporting organisations, and is also well versed in fund raising through sponsorship. “One of the areas he will be pursing will be maximizing support from businesses associated with our existing membership. There is untapped potential there and members who feel they could come on board should make contact with us. He can be contacted on 01787-210980.

Hadleigh Carpet Bowls Club It is hard to believe that six months of this year has almost passed and that we have already played six of our Summer League matches: so far it has been a most successful time having won four and lost two, although perhaps our Club Captain was hoping it would be a full house! All our players performed to a great standard and here I must congratulate our two lady members Jackie and Joan, whome have been with us for less than a year, but are playing extremely well and in line with our more experienced members, so those of you who may be thinking of joining the Hadleigh Club take heart and come and have a go at this fascinating game which require more skill than just rolling a bowl onto a green carpet, the first two visits are completely free so you have nothing to lose. It was lovely to see Shirley return for our last match against Polstead, although only as a supporter but hopefully very soon she will be playing competitively perhaps in the remaining Summer League matches, her cheerful smile and that faint Aussie accent has been badly missed.We have two more matches to play during the month of June, one at Stratford St.Mary and the other at Hitcham, so perhaps, dare I say, two more wins. 48

European Challenge Tour returns to English soil at Stoke by Nayland – and free golf clinics on offer to spectators! The European Challenge Tour will stage its first event in England for two years when the inaugural English Challenge takes place from 22nd to 25th July at Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa. This is the most important golfing event in England this year in terms of a platform for sports development for talented elite golfers to enter the top professional tour. Stoke by Nayland has already established a great international profile by hosting three European Senior Tour events, when Ryder Cup hero Sam Torrance together with the likes of Costantino Rocca and Gordon J Brand all praised the superb quality of the courses. Another televised international golfing event, the PGA Europro Tour, will again be hosted by Stoke by Nayland this June for the 8th season running. Last year’s Europro Tour winner was England’s Tom Haylock, now playing on the Challenge Tour alongside Stoke’s own touring professional, Jamie Moul. The English Challenge tournament, which will be co-funded by international management company Hambric Sports International, is the first Challenge Tour event to be played on English soil since the Oceânico Group Pro-Am Challenge was staged near Manchester in June 2008. Like the Seniors Tour and Europro Tour events held at Stoke by Nayland, this will again be televised on Sky Sports and worldwide. Alain de Soultrait, Director of the Challenge Tour, said: “With English golf currently on such a high, it is the perfect time to hold a Challenge Tour event in England. We need to develop more tournaments to help sustain the recent growth, so we are delighted to be able to announce the Stoke by Nayland English Challenge in July.” Former Challenge Tour players include Ian Poulter now sixth in the Official World Golf Ranking, Paul Casey, Justin Rose and Ollie Fisher. Ross McGowan and James Morrison have also performed admirably on The European Tour. Some European Tour players also participate in the Challenge Tour if their schedules allow it. Entrance for spectators will be free of charge and this is fantastic opportunity to learn from the experts - on your doorstep! Susanna Rendall, Managing Director of the family-owned Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa, said: “We are absolutely delighted that The European Tour has selected our venue to host this prestigious Challenge Tour event. Having hosted European Senior Tour and EuroPro Tour championships for several years, we believe our selection is further testimony to the quality and standard of both our courses and facilities. The entire team here are very much looking forward to working again with The European Tour and welcoming some of the golfing superstars of the future to Stoke by Nayland.” The English Golf Union is closely involved in this event and is organising, together with the excellent teaching Professionals at Stoke by Nayland, FREE golf clinics at the driving range on all 4 days of the event! These will be for beginners from 3 years old for the “Tri Golf” lessons with foam balls, up to more senior citizens, for whom it is never too late to learn this great game. There will also be clinics for the more experienced golfer. For more information and a timetable of classes please call the Pro Shop at Stoke by Nayland on 01206 265812 or visit the website at www.stokebynaylandclub.co.uk and go to the Golf pages.

Pond Field Open Day Hadleigh and District Angling Society held an open day on Saturday 22nd May to celebrate the official opening of their new fishery at Pond Field, Polstead. The weather was perfect to allow members, guests and project supporters to enjoy a few hours in the peaceful surroundings of Pond Field, whilst some of the society’s junior anglers were on hand to demonstrate how it’s done. Mark and Valerie Oakes provided a BBQ and this along with other refreshments and donations raised £480 for The Brendon Oakes Trust. Many thanks to all those who donated prizes for the society raffle. The new fishery is the result of 25 years of fund raising and thousands of hours work by society volunteers. Additional funding was provided by grants from Hadleigh Town Council, Babergh District Council, Suffolk County Councillor David Grutchfield, The Environment Agency, The Suffolk Environmental Trust and donations from The Hadleigh Thrift Shop. Many local businesses and individuals have also contributed by sponsoring fishing platforms on the fishery – there are still a few left and anyone wishing to sponsor a platform please contact Steven Farthing on 01473 824185. The new fishery has a 16 peg lake predominantly stocked with common carp and a 40 peg match lake stocked with roach, rudd, bream, tench and crucian carp. During construction the society have worked closely with the Suffolk Disabled Anglers Forum to ensure the site is accessible for anglers with disabilities. As a result 56 platforms have been installed to provide a flat non slip surface from which to fish, 12 of which are suitable for anglers fishing from a wheelchair. The fishery also includes environmental features such as a mature pond and 1500 new trees have been planted across the 6 acres site. The society will be holding an open charity match on Saturday 24th July with proceeds going to The Brendon Oakes Trust: Please contact Kevin Wilding on 01473 824214 to book a place.

Hadleigh Utd Under 12’s We did it!!!!!! Congratulations to Hadleigh Utd under 12’s and their manager Pete Tampion, who have successfully won the south Suffolk Youth League Division 3 title. Following a closely fought battle between Hadleigh utd under 12’s and Whitton Sports Centre, the Hadleigh team came away as champions. What a brilliant result!! Congratulations to all the team you really deserved to win that. All the team were presented with individual trophies, along with a cup which will have pride of place in the trophy cabinet at the clubhouse. Training starts again soon, following on from the signing on evening which is on Tuesday 13th July 2010, 6pm till 8pm. This will be held down at the football club and anyone wishing to sign up for the under 12’s should ring our manager Pete Tampion on 01473 824781, to have a chat first. Good Luck for the new season.

Hadleigh United F.C. Youth Under 11’s Presentation Evening Winners Now the season has come to an end the boys are taking a well earned rest from training (only till August though) and we are all relaxing as we cheer England on in the World Cup. We have also enjoyed our End of Season Presentation Night which took place in the Clubhouse and was enjoyed by all. Although all the boys have given their all during the season the management have the difficult task of selecting players for awards to be presented on this evening. Pictured are the winners for the under 11’s so Well Done to them and all the boys who had a fantastic season. Arrangements are underway for next season and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome the addition of David Shiress and Andy Lambert onto the management/coaching team. Your help and advice is much appreciated by us all so we can continue to run two successful Under 12’s teams.

Semer Airgun Society

The Semer Airgun Society membership continues to grow steadily with our ladies proving to be a good match for the men. Many of our new members had not tried the sport of airgun shooting before comming to the society but after using our society guns for a few months they have now purchased their own guns. With the light nights here we are now shooting outside and indoors on Tuesday evenings. Our first quarter competitions were a great success with the scores very close. Some of our sharp shooters with their medals and certificates can be seen in the photo. Our second quarter competition is now well under way, these competions are designed to be fun for all who enter whatever their ability. We recently held a 10mtr polo competition, the shooters had to shoot through the hole of a polo without breaking the polo,each competitor had 5 shots,this proved to be quite difficult as you can imagine but one of our members Stephen Goodbrand amazingly did manage to score 3 out of 5 and the rest of us hope to do better next time. Anyone who would like to try our sport is welcome to visit us on Tuesday evenings at Semer village hall 7.30pm to 9.30pm society guns available to use. 50

Player Development with Ipswich Town Community Trust Ipswich Town Community Trust work to offer the best possible football opportunities for children, young people and adults throughout Suffolk and are committed to working with individuals to help progress a player’s development to the highest possible level. The Community Trust provides a number of different courses across the ability range to fulfil this responsibility. Player Development Centres (PDC) are aimed at six to 14 year olds who show exceptional ability and attitude towards football and was established in order to ensure all players develop in a rounded way and to the best of their ability. The Player Development Centres enjoy a strong relationship with the ITFC Academy and the one-hour player development sessions are delivered by both FA qualified Community Trust and Academy coaches, ensuring players have the opportunity to progress to the highest possible level. The programme works in a 15 week block and costs £90. There are a total of two blocks per season and continuous assessment by Trust coaches and ITFC scouts. In the eighth week of each term, players will have an assessment week to determine whether they progress to the next term of training. There is movement on and off the programme with players released and being welcomed back to participate in other Community Trust activities and courses and the Trust does recognise this may cause a level of disappointment for those released. However this is the fairest way to ensure only the highest standard of players represent Ipswich Town Football Club against local opposition. Player Development Centres also offer older players the chance to become a Ball Boy or Girl for weekend First team fixtures at home, providing a unique opportunity for additional player development by observing professional players in match situations. If you would like more information about Player Development Centres in Thetford, Bury St Edmunds or Portman Road then please contact the Community Trust on 01473 400749.

First International Champion for Hadleigh Tennis Club The Ladies’ and Men’s Doubles tournaments took place on Sunday 13th July at the Hadleigh Tennis Club. This was a well attended event which saw spirited play from all participants. In the Men’s event, two groups initially played a “round robin” tournament, with the finalists being the top two teams from each group. So it was that Craig Randall and Jack Short played Claudiu Patrugan and Chris Browning for this year’s title. After a tenacious match, with some good rallies and great shot making from both sides, it was Claudiu and Chris who emerged victorious, becoming the champions for 2010. Claudiu, who is Romanian, is our first international champion. In the ladies’ tournament, the play was no less vigorous and after some hard fought matches, it was Kate White and Jan Richards who emerged at the top of the Ladies’ group with the most wins and therefore the 2010 Ladies’ Doubles title. The runners up were Liz Allan and Charlotte Short. An impressive achievement by Kate, who has now won both of the Ladies’ tournaments held this year. It only remains for Kate to win the Singles title and she will have achieved the “Hadleigh Grand Slam”, though there are plenty of ladies who will be out to stop this ongoing success story! The tennis club is making full use of the recently refurbished courts and plans to hold its annual BBQ on the 18th July. If you would like to play tennis, or find out more information, why not visit our website: www.hadleightennis.org.uk or come down and see us. We play Tuesday and Thursday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and Sunday from 9am to 12.00pm. We look forward to meeting you.

HADLEIGH HARES ATHLETIC CLUB Celebrating 25 years of Road Running, Athletics, Cycling and Triathlon A STAR IN THE MAKING Many congratulations to our junior hare Kieran Bleasby who won the Capel 1 fun run on Sunday 13th June. Kieran 13 completed the mile in an excellent time of 5.41 which is fantastically quick for someone of his age – beating in the process many other top juniors from around the county. A great benchmark to work from, we wish Kieron all the very best for a promising athletic career! *JUNIOR SESSION (8-16) MEET HADLEIGH HIGH TUESDAY’S 6-7PM – YOUTH SESSION (16-25) MEET 7-8PM* THE CAPE WRATH CHALLENGE The Cape Wrath Challenge, in Cape Wrath (the most North Westerly point on the British mainland) covers 6 days which include 5 days of runs of varying lengths and different degrees of endurance. Mike Rosbrook was our representative as he took on the incredible feat held on 15th – 21st May this year. Monday was 10k which Mike completed in 50.25, Tuesday 5.5 mile hill race with a 900ft climb which was completed in 46.07, Wednesday was a 8.5 mile cross country race which was done in 1,15.46 whereas Thursday was a gentle 3 mile beach run which many of the competitors did in fancy dress! Friday was rest day before the big one on Saturday, a full marathon, with 2,500ft of ascent thrown in which Mike ran in a very respectable 4,19.15. What can we say except you are an inspiration to all your fellow Hares! Congratulations on your achievement. HARWICH 5K SERIES It’s that time of year again when we welcome the Harwich 5k series. 5 races take place from 29 April – 22nd July along the flat seafront. For anyone wishing to work on their speed, particularly after long distance training it’s to be recommended! Steve Hunt was our sole representative in race one completing the distance in 20.59. On a warm summer’s evening Corinna Hussey & Rachel Cole joined Steve Hunt for race two. Steve improved by 18 seconds to run in 20.42, Corinna ran 25.41 whereas Rachel, taking part in her first ever 5k managed an excellent time of 23.37. 5 Hares, including husband & wife team Gary & Carol Nokes, made it to the third race. Carol made a welcome return to competition after an enforced absence whereas Gary & John Scaife were taking part in their first Harwich meet. PB’s were on the card until the 3k mark when as runners turned for the final 2k they were to be defeated by an extremely annoying headwind! Despite the weather John ran an excellent time of 18.19 whereas both Steve (20.32) & Corinna (25.23) improved on race two with Gary (25.43) not far behind. Carol (27.38) was pleased with her effort as she makes a welcome return to running & triathlon. Well done to you all.

Hadleigh Cricket Club The last for weeks have proved to be a mixed bag for the club, all three teams have experienced the ups and downs which although inherent in the game seem to be more acute where Hadleigh are concerned. The first XI have been bolstered by the arrival of the club’s overseas player, Michael Innes. Michael began his career as a Hadleigh player with two games in one weekend, he shone against both Haverhill and East Bergholt scoring over 80 in both games without being dismissed. Two wins in one weekend gave the whole team confidence and the season looks to be far more than just a scrap for survival. They have lost a couple of games since then, having been easily turned over by Dunmow they put on a far better show this week against top of the league Woodbridge, only losing in the final over. With Innes in fine form and skipper Tim Rix also regularly in the runs the team is looking solid, confident and capable of beating any team in the league. The second XI have had a more stable time of things, they’ve beaten Haverhill, Achilles and Boxted over the past four weeks, losing their other fixture to the inclement weather. They sit third in the league and with Nadie Abdul, Richard Checketts, Robbie Smythe and Tim Ryder all regularly getting in the runs they have a solid base which makes the team the perfect place to blood some of the club’s talented young players. Skipper Dave Mann will be wanting to push for promotion and has been chipping in with vital runs himself over the past few weeks. The third XI have had a shaky start to the season, they’ve lost several games to the weather and so have struggled to establish any consistency. They had a good recent win against Cavendish and with Blake Ambrose in form with the bat and Martin Grayling looking fierce with ball in hand they will hope to get a good run of games over the next few and pick u their form as the season progresses. A few key events for your diaries are the cricket club fete which takes place on 22nd of June and will be being filmed by the Sky Sports cameras which have been following the team around this season for their ‘Clublife’ series. So head down for a great chance to get your 15 minutes of fame. Also worthy of a place in your diary is the bi-centenary week which is 19-23 July, the club will be playing a game every day, the highlight of which will be a game against the MCC. All are welcome and a brochure lovingly put together by Richard English is available in Avis newsagents and The Idler, both an interesting look at the cricket club over the years and also a fascinating historical document for those of you interested in the history of the town.

Hadleigh Community Primary triumphs in Eastern Counties Tag Rugby Finals

There is cause for celebration at Hadleigh Community Primary School, as the Year 6 Mixed Tag Rugby Team have won the Eastern Counties Under 11’s Tournament held on 20th May at Ely Rugby Club. Their journey to become Eastern Counties champions, began in early March 2010 when Year 6 boys and girls from Hadleigh Community Primary won the Hadleigh Pyramid Schools Festival against other primary schools in the town and surrounding villages. On 25th March they went on to win all 6 of their games in the Westbourne Partnership finals, held at Ipswich Rugby Club, against Under 11’s teams from the Ipswich and South Suffolk area. They then became County Champions by winning the Under 11’s Suffolk County Finals at Woodbridge Rugby Club in April. This lead the team onto the Eastern Counties Tag Rugby Finals at Ely Rugby Club on 20th May, where they competed against teams from Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Not only did they win the title of Eastern Counties Tag Rugby Winners, but they were the only team to win all of their matches. Hadleigh Community Primary’s Mixed Tag Ruby Team will now go on to represent Eastern Counties in the North London Regional Finals in Chigwell, Essex on 30th June. If successful they could end up playing on hallowed turf in the National Tag Twickenham Finals that will take place on 7th July. “I am so very proud of the boys and girls in our team” Gavin Peters, PE Instructor at Hadleigh Community said. “To think we are a school in a small town and our Year 6 Mixed Tag Rugby Team have become Eastern Counties Champions. This is an amazing achievement and I am just so delighted that they have come this far and are on the path to the national finals” Congratulations are due to the Year 6 pupils Chloe Rhodes, Katie Green, Lois Peck, Robert Redmore, Oliver Peters, Arran Tampion, Luke Brown, Jackson Crisp, Chloe Radley, Zoe Dagnall, Harry Kemp and Callum Morrin who have made Hadleigh Community Primary Under 11’s Mixed Tag Rugby Team the Eastern Counties Champions. Well done and good luck in the Regional and National finals.

Highest scorers in the section for home players were Steven and Leighann Wordley, 44, followed by Tom and Sue Lockwood, 41 and Dennis Longhorn and Norma Humphrey 38.

Hadleigh Under 8’s – 2009/2010 Hadleigh under 8’s have now completed their first football season. We started with a couple of training sessions in May 2009 where it was already evident that the boys showed a great appetite for football and at this early stage already showed some impressive skills. During that summer we entered two teams into the five-a-side tournament at AFC Sudbury, the tournament was a great day and enjoyed by all players and parents. Throughout the tournament there were some very good individual performances and as the tournament progressed both teams started to play well collectively with some excellent performances against teams that had already been together for 12 and in some cases 24 months. It was therefore really pleasing for us that we were already able to compete against these teams at such an early stage. Pre-season training started in August and from the outset our main objectives for the year ahead was that the boys improved their football skills and enjoyed themselves, we therefore worked with the boys to improve on their passing, shooting, goalkeeping, throw-inns, controlling the football and general team play. However, whilst we worked on these technical parts of the game we always tried to make it an enjoyable training session. We managed to organise a couple of pre-season friendlies before the league campaign started in September and again there were some good individual displays and we all looked forward to the season ahead. We played in the South Suffolk Youth League on Saturday mornings which is a non-competitive league at this age group with results not being recorded. Our first fixture was at home and both teams played exceptionally well, with great individual and team performances, It certainly was a great start to the season and all the hard work the players had put in during the pre-season were paying dividends. As the season progressed, we had our share of wins, defeats and draws, however it was during our defeats that we learnt the most, but even against the teams that had been together for some considerable time we still gave them a real test and competed in all areas of the pitch. Whilst we were not in a results business and were concentrating on playing passing football, it was always pleasing for the boys when the victories came along. The expression on the player’s faces and goal celebrations was fantastic to see all the outfield players celebrate with the goal scorer and then to see our goalkeeper run 30 yards up the pitch to join in the celebration was wonderful. Whilst this football season is quit rightly about the players, it would not be possible for them to play this beautiful game without the help and support from so many people. I would therefore like to thank our sponsors The League of Gas Engineers, W J Green and Utility Installation Projects for sponsoring our warm tops, waterproof jackets and football kit for all players. I would also like to thank the Hadleigh Youth committee for their help and support during the season and for making us feel so welcome. During the season many parents have arrived early on Saturday mornings to help erect the goals/respect barriers, so many thanks to you all. On match days we have had Vicky Smith and Hannah Francis making coffees/teas and bacon rolls for all spectators and players and this work is really appreciated. I would also like to thank Graham Cullinane who has acted as our treasurer, Gavin Peters for his continued help and advice during the whole season along with Thomas Stone for refereeing our home fixtures. Finally, but by no means least there is Russell Francis, it has been a pleasure to have him with me on this joint effort and it would not have been possible to achieve what we have done this year without his help. I hope that everyone enjoyed this season, which at times has been quite awe inspiring and one that I will never forget. Enjoy the summer break and look forward to seeing you all the boys in the summer when we will commence our pre-season training in preparation for the 2010/11 season. Presentation award night results: First Game Managers’ player of the season – Ewan Baxter Supporters’ player of the season – Ellis Girling Most improved player of the season – Jake Phillips Second Games Managers’ player of the season – James Hughes Supporters’ player of the season – Thomas Rupp Most improved player of the season James Smith We are looking to add a goalkeeper to our squad for the coming 2010/2011 football season and ask that any interested players contact Brett Girling on 07771537304

Hadleigh Dolphins Hadleigh junior squad travelled by bus to Leiston on 22nd May to battle out round 2 of the Suffolk summer league. This was Jackie Kirk's New junior team managers,first Gala in charge and she was very pleased with the way the team as a whole swam. She also felt , "The younger boys were well positioned in their individual races". Some key swimmers were missing from the squad but this did not deter the Dolphins. William White, Tom Linge and Cameron Abdly all made their debuts for the club. There were 15 x PB times recorded and the following swimmers managed first placed swims. Adam Morseman in 50m breast, Finlay Kirk in 50m free, and 25 Fly. Rebecca Mann in 100m Back. Edward Seeley in 50m back and Amy Pettitt in 50m back. The older girls medley relay comprising of, Rebecca Mann, Anna Syddel, Alanah Barton and Georgia Howard also finished 1st. As did the younger boys medley squad with, Adam Morseman, Finlay Kirk, Jackson Crisp and William White. Well done to the whole team. Hadleigh dolphins were placed in joint third place on the night and the final round is in July and there is all to swim for. Thanks go to Jackie Howard, Bernadette White, Adrian Pettit and Paul Barton for officiating and to Sarah Mann, Abi and Trevor for helping with Team organisation and support. Any one interested in getting involved in swimming, in or out of the water please come and visit us at Hadleigh Pool on club nights Monday and Wednesday at 7pm. We are family friendly and teach and coach swimming for all abilities, at good rates. The pool is still fully operational despite the modernisation work currently in progress.

Hadleigh Bowling Club Having completed the coaching course, it is good to see our new members joining in the social bowls. Nick's Fish Supper was a great success as usual. Re competitions - we are winning some and losing some!

The grand finals and presentation evening was held at the Royal British Legion on Monday 24th May 2010, an excellent crowd in excess of 100 were treated to a great evening of darts, here is a brief report and all the results, not necessarily in chronological order. The team knock out cup was first on the agenda with thirteen teams competing, the match consisted of five single games of 501 with the first team to win three progressing to the next round, league winners George A drew the Ram A in the first round, a draw neither side really wanted, George A went on to win this one 3-1, as the games unfolded the Ram Jets proved to be the surprise package winning there way through to the final with an excellent 3-0 win over the Kings Head, Brewers A were unable to Holt the George A`s progress loosing this one 3-1 to set up a George A, Ram Jets final, George A coming out out on top, Tim Reynolds, Derek Cole, & Colin Hynard winning the first three games to take the spoils. Eight players from an entry of over 80 remained to contest the singles title, all winning through at their respective venues from the previous week, an all George affair saw Geoff Parmenter beat Derek Cole, another George player Tim Reynolds lost out to the much improved Mark Green from the Ram, Russel Hynard managed to squeeze past Mark Chaplin winning a tight match 2-1, & Curtis Hammond took out his good friend Glenn Bentley 2-0. The semi finals were predicatively close with Russel edging out Mark Green, and Curtis Hammond producing some sharp finishing to beat Geoff Parmenter. The final was again a close call with Curtis holding his nerve to take the singles title for the first time. Next on the oche was the doubles semi final, George A`s Tim Reynolds/Dave Prior taking on Brewers A, Andy Taylor/Curtis Hammond & Ram Jets Chris Cowan/Dan Wells taking on George A Ivan Clements/Geoff Parmenter, surprisingly both George teams were beaten to set up a Brewers v Jets Final, The Jets pair were a tad unlucky as they peppered the lipstick for some great scoring, but were eventually beaten by the clinical finishing from the Brewers boys thus recording an historic double for the inform Curtis Hammond. The Triples final was an all George A affair with Ivan Clements/Geoff Parmenter/Darren Witt taking on the holders Colin Hynard/Derek Cole/ Tim Reynolds, after some back room banter it was Ivan's team who took the title. While all this was going on the ladies finals were also being played, Kathy Willis representing the British Legion won the singles for the second year running beating Karen Hedley from the Cock, and Sally Root/Karen Hedley beat the virgin George pair of Victoria Harman/Emma Witt to take the doubles title. The Landlords/ladies/stewards cup was won by Roger "Dogga" Caterall representing the British Legion who apparently pitched hedge hog's to beat Paul Harman from the George to win his first ever darts trophy, well done Roger. High score on the night went to Ivan Clements with a maximum 180. All the winners -: League winners George A League R/U The Ram Wooden spoon Hintlesham Social Club Knock out cup winner George A Knock out cup R/U Ram Jets Most consistent captain C.Hynard George A (26 wins) Most consistent player C.Hynard & D.Cole George A (shared 27 wins ) Singles winner C.Hammond Brewers A Singles R/U R.Hynard The Ram Doubles winner C.Hammond/A.Taylor Brewers A Doubles R/U C.Cowan/D.Wells Ram Jets Trebles winner I.Clements/G.Parmenter/D.Witt George A Trebles R/U C.Hynard/D.Cole/T.Reynolds George A Ladies singles winner K.Willis British Legion Ladies singles R/U K.Hedley The Cock Ladies doubles winner K.Hedley/S.Root The Cock Ladies doubles R/U V.Harman/E.Witt George A Landlords/ladies/stewards cup R.Caterall British Legion Landlords/ladies/stewards R/U P.Harman George A Most 180â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C.Hammond (7) Brewers A High shot out A.Batih (170) Northcroft High score on the night I.Clements George A A big thank you to the British Legion for their hospitality, to Paul & Tori for providing the refreshments (very nice) and indeed to all landlords/ladies for their support through the season, to all the chalkers and players on the night, the organisers, and a special thank you to Melvin Tilbury who sorts us out through out the season, see you all next year.
