those with a surplus of vegetables or fruit to share and exchange with friends and neighbours rather than let it go to waste. Local food challenge Throughout September we are suggesting people prepare as many meals as possible using only locally produced food. It is surprising to find out how many different foods are available in our local shops. Not only will you find that the food is fresher, tastier and often cheaper than food bought in multinational stores but it will be more environmentally friendly. To celebrate the Harvest the following events are being held Sept. 11th BEER TASTING -Adnams at 73-75 High St. 10.30-4.00 Sept. 12th Bridge Street Allotments BBQ Sept. 14th COOKERY DEMONSTRATION by Simon Cook of Smugglers Puddings , Ansell Centre 7.30 p.m. Sept. 20-26th HOLLOW TREES FARM SHOP, Semer, Special Local Food Menu and Tasting Oct 2nd HORKEY and Barn Dance in St. Mary's Church at 7.00 p.m. Oct 3rd HARVEST FESTIVAL St, Mary's Church Through September the King's Head will have a special Local Food Menu for Lunch and Evening Meals For further information please contact Jane Haylock at the Idler, 37 High Street, phone 01473 827752 or e-mail jane@theidler.plus.com

Hadleigh Harvest September is the traditional time when farmers and gardeners reap the results of their hardwork during the year. Local food is at its best and cheapest when eaten in season and in September there are around 30 different vegeables from artichokes to watercress to be harvested plus apples, pears, plums, different berries and free food from the hedgerow such as blackberries, elderberries, nuts and sloes. For ideas on how to use and cook this produce a useful website is www.vegbox-recipes.co.uk We are fortunate in having independent butchers who use local producers for their meat supplies and visiting fresh fish vans on Tuesdays and Fridays. We should not forget something to drink and while wine produced in this country is still limited there is a choice of beers from large and small breweries and a wide selection of non alcoholic drinks which are produced in the county. More free food! - following last year's initiative, we are again encouraging

FREE DELIVERY on products to patient's home

I’m pleased to inform you that Mill Pharmacy has recently purchased a new van (pictured here with our lovely pharmacy technician Jayde) so that we can extend our free prescription delivery service. No doubt, many of you will have questions about this service and below I’ve tried to answer some of these questions. WHO benefits from this Van? All our customers. It was purchased with the idea of extending our FREE delivery service to all our customers.You may find it particularly useful if you housebound through disability or illness, but you do not have to be ill or housebound to make use of this service as is available to all our customers free of charge. HOW do I get my medicines delivered for free? There are two ways: a) You can join our delivery service where we automatically deliver your prescription to your home once it is dispensed, or b) You can use the service on an ad hoc basis in circumstances where it is difficult for you to come to the pharmacy due to, for example, an acute illness. WHAT do I need to do to join the service? Not very much you’ll be pleased to know. Just call into the pharmacy or phone us and we can register your request on our system. WHAT happens if I’m not in when my prescription is delivered? We will leave a note saying a delivery was attempted and for you to contact us to arrange a suitable time for redelivery... Unfortunately, we do require a signature for the medicines and are unable to leave them in porches, patios, greenhouses, sheds etc. We can only leave them with a neighbour if you have given us permission to do so and they will need to sign for its receipt. However, we generally phone you before we make the delivery to ensure that you or someone will be in to receive it. The deliveries will normally be done after 2pm Monday to Friday. WHERE will you deliver to? We can offer this service to all our customers regardless of whether they live in Hadleigh or in one of the villages. WHEN can I join? Straight away, just phone us or call into the pharmacy. How much does this service cost the NHS and the taxpayer? Not a penny. This service is provided by Mill Pharmacy at it’s own expense to enable us to provide better healthcare to our customers Can I order shop items for delivery with my prescription? Of course, but we will only be able to take cheque and cash payments as there are no credit card facilities available on the van. Can I return unused medicines with the delivery driver? Yes.You may need to sign a form for some of the stronger drugs. Just ask the delivery driver for more information. Hopefully, this has answered most of your questions but please come and speak to us if you have any further questions. Taj West is the Superintendent Pharmacist of Mill Pharmacy located within the Hadleigh Health Centre.

Happy 50th Brian

Happy Birthday Sam

Love from Mum & Dad

All the best, Robbie, Racuel and the girls

Can I take worms to Britain? A meeting of the Fidelis ladies is always a lively and informative occasion and this month was no exception. Stepping in at short notice when the scheduled speaker was unable to attend, fellow member Jan Devey entertained us all with her often hilarious account of her time as the Information Librarian at the British Embassy in The Hague, The Netherlands. Over thirteen years Jan was involved in many aspects of Embassy life from grand receptions, diplomatic visits, business conferences, and trade promotions to assisting bewildered, and often distressed, British tourists. Sitting at a front desk, armed only with a phone, a typewriter and a pile of rather dull official leaflets, Jan dealt with the random enquiries that poured into the Embassy each day. Requests for information on the right way up to hang a Union Jack, or how to get tickets for Wimbledon paled in comparison with, for example, the demand for assistance from a bank robber who had been mugged and lost all his loot! As technology improved better resources became available such as glossy literature and CD’s which helped greatly with the promotion of British interests. Jan recalled other moments too, such as the emotional public reaction to the news of the death of Princess Diana, or the soggy reception for the Queen’s birthday, where distinguished guests had queued for a long time in the pouring rain to get in, or the day there was a full-scale bomb alert caused by an Irish man parking his battered car illegally outside the Embassy while he chatted to some builders working on a site nearby. At the end of the talk Jan showed us her scrapbooks and the book she had written, in retirement, called “Can I Take Worms to Britain?” This is a collection of some of the more bizarre enquiries she had received in the course of her work. Jan also provided us with some very helpful travel information. This delightful evening, which was much enjoyed by all, was rounded off with tea, biscuits and the customary socializing.

Last day of term was a great success. We were lucky having the sun shining, so the children were able to play in the garden and enjoy the bouncy castle. All the children had fun, and was a brilliant way to end the term off. We would like to say good bye to all the children who have left us to start nursery in September and wish them all luck. Also we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped with the smooth running of the day, and a thank you to all the parents and their families who have supported us during the year. If you wish to see the photos from the day and past events please visit our website. Unfortunately the Hadleigh community playgroup new building which is going up in Calais street has been delayed due to vandalism on the site. Barbergh have involved the police and have discussed employing a night watchman to try and prevent any further vandalism. Because of this set back the new building will not be opening on 6th September as planned. We are hoping the new building will be ready by the end of September. But do not despair, the playgroup will still be opening at the beginning of term at the Scout hall until the new building is ready for us to move in. Places are still available, we will be offering full day care. The opening times will be Monday till Friday from 9 am till 15:45. The sessions available and prices are as followed... Option 1 = 9 am till 12 noon. Price £7.50 or funded session Option 2 = 9 am till 12:45 . Price £10 or funded session plus £2.50 Option 3 = 9 am till 15:45 . Price £15 or funded session plus £7.50 Option 4 = 12:45 till 15:45.

We are also trying to have a food hall again so if you make preserves or hand made chocolates or cakes then this could be the event for you. We will be posting out forms to other traders who have attended before but we normally have to turn people away cos it gets filled quickly so it's first come 1st served.

If you have any comments please e-mail me on hadleighents@aol.com or visit our website www.hadleighents.webs.com Cllr Trevor Clarke Chairman of the Hadleigh Entertainments Committee

1st Annual Barbeque of the Gallows Hill Allotment Group The 1st Annual Barbeque was held on 24th July in brilliant sunny weather. About 40 people (allotment holders with families) attended. The only request was that everyone bring their own chairs and something to drink. Ann Wells, Jennifer Cutts and Roy Cutts (of “Cutts Well Catering) did the barbeque which was excellent. £1 bought you a juicy thick burger or a piece of steak or sausage with a choice of salads that had been prepared by the allotment holders from their produced. Many thanks to them. Everyone sat around enjoying the food and sunshine. Entertainment was even provided by Peter Matthews who had brought along his guitar so everyone had a sing-song which was really fun. The children attending were given a competition to draw anything they could see around the allotment area and were given prizes. A lot of colourful pictures were produced. A raffle which had a lot of garden tools kindly donated by Partridges including a wheelbarrow, organized by John Chisholm (known to all as Rusty), was a great success. He announced that he was handing over the secretary-ship to Ann Wells as he was stepping down. All-in-all it was a wonderful day and very enjoyable and was a great chance to meet fellow allotment holders. We will all look forward to the next one!

Hadleigh Duplicate Bridge Club The 2009/2010 season was one which saw the club go from strength to strength. There was constant support from existing members and we were very pleased to welcome some new faces. As a result of the increasing support it was decided for the first time to extend the playing season into the summer continuing until mid July. This extended period was quite successful as in spite of some members disappearing on holiday or to the bowls green it was well attended and we averaged six tables. Due to the limited space in the Library Seminar room where we play we are now nearing the time when we may have to introduce a waiting list for prospective members but hopefully will still be able to take a couple more people when the new season starts. The Club will be starting the new season on Monday 6th September at 7.00pm so if you would like to join please ring Peter or Maureen on 01473 823532 for further details and to put your name down. You will find that it is a friendly and relaxed club. It is of course preferable if you can bring a partner but for those who are unable to do so we do have a partner broker who will try to fix you up.

Whatfield Players Our next show, “A Little Of What You Fancy!” will be staged at the village hall on 3 nights, 16th, 17th and 18th September, 7.30pm. We hope “A Little Of What You Fancy!” will provide a lot of what you’ll enjoy, as it will be a mixed bag of songs from many eras, comedy sketches, monologues and a Victorian style melodrama. Several new faces have joined the group, including Carol Marks, an accomplished pianist who will before and during intervals. One sketch features guests arriving at the Whatfield Waldorf Hotel, in another “ASBO offenders” guest in a panto read through, and the Whatfield Whittlers and Warblers will be performing “ The Runaway Perambulator”. In addition to songs; solos, duets and group numbers, there’ll be opportunities for a sing-a-long. A plated supper will be served during the 2nd interval, and as usual a bar and raffle will be available. The Players will donate funds on this occasion to the Ipswich Hospital Diabetic Clinic. Tickets will again cost £6.00 (to include the supper) and will be available at The Idler Bookshop, Hadleigh High Street. Or for villagers by contact with Diane Armour 822000 or Mel Plumbly 822315. Do come along- help us to support the Ipswich Diabetic Clinic. In a new departure, a One Night Murder Mystery evening is in the planning stage for January. The audience will get to know the characters, see the plot develop, collect the clues, and then make their predictions, prior to the final revelations. A hot supper is likely to be another feature of this exiting evening.

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard at Buxton in Derbyshire My readers will find me somewhat exhausted this month as I have been rather touring about as well as running my office. I have been fortunate to know a number of very interesting people. One such is David Evans, a past President of The Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys and former Senior Partner of F J Cleveland Patent Agents. It was with great sadness that I attended the funeral of David’s wife Wendy in Reigate. This was a burial and sad though it was, it seemed to me not quite so daunting or final as a cremation. When taking instructions for a Will, I do always suggest that my clients should express whether they have a preference for a burial or cremation. On a brighter note I took my mother and father to Buxton in Derbyshire where every year they enjoy the Gilbert and Sullivan festival at the theatre there. The picture shows me with the famous cleansing spa waters. I did have a nip of the special water and feel so much better for it! A good friend invited me to join him for a Beestons trip to London for a tour of Buckingham Palace. I marvelled at the state rooms and their glorious furnishings. I then enjoyed tea on the terrace overlooking the Palace gardens. I was aghast at the enormous number of tourists that now frequent the famous sights in London and was pleased to return to Suffolk. I would recommend a Beestons coach tour – a superb coach (with on board WC – so reassuring), very well run and reasonably priced (Tel. 01473 212521). I watched with horror the recent BBC Panorama television programme about Will Writers. There were various sorry sagas where Will Writers gave a fee on the telephone and then a sales person was despatched to see the clients and persuaded them to spend thousands of pounds. For goodness sake, if you wish to make a Will or if you need any other legal services (such as the preparation of a Power of Attorney) then use a Solicitor. A Solicitor has had to qualify and is closely regulated by the Law Society and the Solicitors Regulation Authority. A Solicitor is unlikely to be any more expensive I have been dealing with property for some twenty five years and have a greater experience in that field than most of the local professionals. Do discuss your property proposals at an early stage and I am sure that you will find that that time invested will pay you dividends. Howard Gibbons

MIM and BILL

At the July meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI speaker Roy Tricker, a self confessed Church Crawler, shared his passion for the churches of Suffolk. His Power Point presentation entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enjoying old churchesâ&#x20AC;? showed examples of some of the unique architectural features of individual village churches which with the commentary of his observations he hoped will encourage us to visit and appreciate these amazing buildings on our doorstep. Maraday Robinson organised two Summer Outings. The first we watched a demonstration by the head chef at Hintlesham Hall making canapĂŠs and starters. This was followed by lunch with wine and champagne. In August we visited Bressingham museum and gardens. Several ladies mounted the Galloping horses for a ride on the Carousel. Everyone enjoyed a stroll and a steam train ride round the gardens. The exhibits included the Royal Train, Steam engines and Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army props and sets. In summer each WI holds a garden party to which they invite members of local groups. Ann Porter hosted Hadleigh Eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party in her garden. The guests included Ruth Lee the federation chairman. To celebrate the institutes 45th birthday Joan Rudman, Beryl Allen and Ann Young provided a birthday cake. In August Naomi Partridge entertained members to a ramble round the Kersey countryside, followed by a cream tea at her home. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 21 September in the Seminar suite above the library starting 7.30pm. Speaker Geoff Evans will give a talk entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life of a Racehorseâ&#x20AC;?. As always visitors and new members can be sure of a friendly warm welcome.

Hadleigh United Reformed Church and Ansell Centre Refurbishment Programme During 2009-10 the Church Planning Committee have been active in making applications for grants to ensure that extensive Repairs and Maintenance costs totalling £101,500 could be met to the Church and the Ansell Centre. This has been a strong team effort and has drawn upon the skills and experience of its members. We are grateful for the help and direction received from our local County Councillor David Grutchfield, who steered our application for £20,000 from Suffolk County Council Corporate Regeneration Fund. David also provided £1,000 from the Suffolk Locality Budget towards the stair-lift. The grant of £20,000 from the Suffolk Regeneration Fund has been used to secure the roofing timbers and gulleys of the Ansell Centre. Parts of the pathway between the Church and the Ansell Centre have also been resurfaced. We are also grateful for other grants received from: Russell Quinton Trust Coutts and Co. Suffolk Historic Churches Trust Eastern Synod of the United Reformed Church Through the continued goodwill and generosity of Hadleigh URC congregation, £25,000 has been ring-fenced to support the refurbishment project. The committee have recently been successful with a bid to Biffaward/Entrust for £27,000. This will enable the repair and replacement of a considerable number of windows in the Ansell Centre. The replacement windows will conform to the same style and materials used in the existing windows. Some of this grant will also be used to repair up to 50% of the sprung floor in the Ansell Centre. More details of this grant will appear in a subsequent issue of this magazine. In addition the committee raised £5,500 towards a stair-lift adjacent to the community room of the church. This has been made possible through generous contributions from: Hadleigh Thrift Shop; The Spanish Class; Babergh District Council; Suffolk CC Locality Budget; Golden Sunset Homes Trust. The stair-lift has improved access for community activities to the upper rooms of the church. The Planning Committee recognise the continuing challenge of Hadleigh United Reformed Church to respond to God’s love as shown and taught by Jesus Christ.

She has been missing for several weeks now and we are very worried about her. We would be very grateful if you could contact us on 07749883983 if you have any information about her. There is a reward of ÂŁ100 for her safe return

Babergh launches Parking Permit Scheme to help drivers save money Babergh District Council is today (August 16) launching its discounted parking permit scheme aimed at providing regular users of its long stay car parks in Sudbury and Hadleigh with the chance to pay to park for less. As part of a wider package aimed at closing its budget deficit for 2009/10, Babergh councillors agreed in February this year to introduce a £1.50 charge for anyone wishing to park for more than three hours in its long stay car parks in the two towns. Ahead of this scheme being introduced in October, and recognising that the impact on regular users of the long stay car parks of the charges should be reduced if possible, Babergh is issuing a maximum of 133 parking permits which offer discounts compared to the daily rate of £1.50 to park at the Station, Sudbury, Station Road Sudbury and the rear part of Magdalen Road, Hadleigh. The discounted parking permits can be bought on an annual (for £250), three-monthly (£70) or monthly (£25) basis. They can be bought using cash, cheques, debit and credit cards for one of the specific car parks listed above.According to Ryan Jones, Babergh’s Head of Contract & Asset Management “application forms are available via our website, by phone, at our Hadleigh offices or at the Sudbury Advice Centre. The deadline for applications is September 10. If we receive more than 133 application forms, on September 16 we will draw lots - with the first 133 drawn being allocated a parking permit and the others placed on a waiting list”. The full details for getting an application form are as follows: from our website (www.babergh.gov.uk/babergh/carpark), by calling (01473) 826622, by visiting our offices at Corks Lane, Hadleigh IP7 6SJ or by visiting the Sudbury Advice Centre, Sudbury Town Hall CO10 1TL.

Jerry’s Diary Well the summer will soon be over and the bird breeding season is coming to an end for 2010, although some species will continue to september or longer. Blackbirds are still taking food to their young in some hedgerows and gardens. What has been going on with the Swallows this summer? Many have made a move during July. A few pairs have stayed here to have a second brood. Its a lot better for Swifts, they were flying around in very good numbers during the hot days in July. I had seen eighteen species of the summer migrants that breed here in this area. One species was not found, that was the Sedge Warbler again. On a good note two pairs of Yellow Wagtail were seen at Raydon Old Airfield. At nearby Shelley six Little Ringed Plovers were at the Lower Brett Site, three adults and three juveniles on the 8th August, so they may have bred here after all. Other waders species seen were 9 Green Sandpiper, 5 Common Sandpiper, 2 Ruff, 2 Dunlin, 3 Black Tailed Godwit and 97 Lapwing. These waders were seen on a small irrigation reservoir. It shows how much these small reservoirs play their part in conservation. It also shows how many species of wader and duck pass through this part of Suffolk which go unnoticed. These birds will rest and feed on the shoreline at the smallest of reservoirs before carrying on their migration. In the winter months these reservoirs will attract many wildfowl even a rare Grebe or diver species could turn up. Its been a very poor year for Butterflys. A few White Admirals were again seen on the Hadleigh Railway Walk during July. A single Clouded Yellow was feeding on the only Knapweed flower that the flailmower missed on July 24th at Aldham. Any warm SE winds could see an influx of Painted Lady’s during September. Jerry Oxford

Hadleigh Bowling Club

I drive in from East Bergholt most days, negotiating Benton street with its numerous obstacles and chicanes with the necessary niceties and politeness that is required for safe passage, then on into the high street. This particular day, a Tuesday as it happens, the sun is out mopping up the last of the nights rain, accentuating the brightly painted buildings, businesses, homes and shop fronts alike. People bustle around, nobody looks too stressed stopping and chatting with one another. I feel quite cheered and lucky to have to come to a place so quaint yet so thriving to work each day. I hope the impending changes that the Tesco store might bring will not have too much a detrimental effect on what is a great place to live and work. All is well with the world, a lady pushing her cycle, complete with wicker basket hung from the handle bars, alights from the path to cross the road in front of me. Now, I do adhere to the speed limits and do drive to conditions and am able to stop fairly quickly, my laptop however, exit’s the passenger seat closely followed by my remaining possessions; phone, wallet, paperwork etcetera. She smiles at me, I smile back, realising her mistake, she has a little giggle and makes it safely to the other side. I have to laugh that’s the nice thing about where we are. Food - restaurant - right! that’s what I’m supposed to be talking about, firstly thanks to all those who have commented favourably about the current menu, from which there is not one dish that out sells the rest which I take to be a good sign. A much more classic approach seems to be the order of the day and we intend to incorporate many more traditional dishes such as good old Toad in the Hole for example, with a bit of a twist. We’re not too posh or proud to put such favourites on, knowing our chefs can make such simple fair taste and look as good as the most intricate of restaurant offerings. If the Community News team deliver this fine magazine before time I can invite you all to our Band and Barbeque on bank holiday Monday, music by Robbie Gladwell, and a bouncy castle for the kiddies. If however this arrives after the event then I can tell you that it was a great day and much fun was had by all!! Now here is a nice summer supper dish to try…..

We are now in our last month of bowling at Magdalen Road, after 256 years on this site. as you can see from the photograph our new Clubhouse is progressing well and we hope to take possession early next month. Our Club competitions are making good progress and the finals will be played on the weekend of 18th/19th September, when we will welcome any spectators. The john Ward, club league competition is underway and is being run in a new format. This year, in order to involve more of our newer members, teams were drawn rather than members making up their own, otherwise, the mixture as before. In the County Competitions our Mixed B team was runner-up in their division and the Mens’ A team finished up mid-table. The brightest stars in our firmament are Sheila Larwill, who plays in the final of the County Unbadged later this month and Peter Vanstone who was beaten in the County Novices by Norman Spicer of Ipswich & District Club.

Diamond-Lites Majorettes The girls attend two competitions this month one in Great Yarmouth and the other in Romford, the results were brilliant. Altogether they won five 2nd place trophies and eleven 3rd place trophies along with lots of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals for our leaders, mascots and in the solo competitions which some of the girls entered, as did one of the trainers and one very brave mum who amazed us with her moves. Go Tracey! On the 14th August we attend the Felixstowe Carnival where the girls won 1st place in the majorette section, which was an amazing achievement. It was a long day with a very long march at the end of it, but the girls carried on smiling and dancing the whole way round. Well done girls. We will be taking on new girls in September. Majorettes is a fantastic sport to be a part of, it takes a lot of dedication and hard work, but you would become part of a great team, get fit and learn the art of baton twirling, while making new friends and having fun. If you are 6 or over and would like to join please call Liz on 07738 571307 for more details. All committee members are CRB checked and attend child protection courses.

Put a smile on your mug! The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is back and this year Macmillan Cancer Support needs your help even more than ever. Can you help them? If so all you need to do is register to take part and you will receive a free fundraising pack so you can help even more people living with cancer. This year’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ event takes place on Friday 24 September. Luke Wheeler, Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support said: ‘Last year £120,000 was raised in Suffolk from 700 events. It would be wonderful if readers who have held events before could go one step further by raising an extra £50 at their events. Collectively our coffee morning hosts make an amazing difference. There are currently 2 million people living with cancer in the UK and one in three of us will be affected by cancer at some point during our lifetime. Macmillan is best known for its nurses but we do provide other support including a free phone line for anyone affected by cancer, financial support for things like hospital trips and we also campaign for better cancer care. So every cup of coffee on 24 September really will count.” Everyone can make their cuppa count by holding a coffee morning, at home, at work or at school. To hold a coffee morning for Macmillan, register by calling 0845 602 1246 or visit www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee. Unable to hold an event? Then why not make a donation to Macmillan by calling the above number and paying by debit or credit card.

Rotary Review CLUB MATTERS: At this time of the year Club Council meet to discuss their plans for the next 12 months but there are no activities apart from the weekly meeting. Speakers have attended 3 of these meetings. SPEAKERS: 1 Rob Spivey from the Mali Development Group spoke about conditions in that country and its main needs. Mali is a landlocked sub-Saharan Country about 10 times the size of the UK and its capital, Bamako, has a population of about 2 million. An ex-French colony , it gained independence in 1960 and in 1991 it adopted a democratic constitution. Although politically stable at present it is amongst the poorest countries in the world with an average life expectancy of 51. Outside the capital there is little modern development with the main form of transport being mopeds with some buses and a few cars. The Group's main objectives are tto improve the ststus of women by better education and health, increase education for children, teach better agricultural practice and improve water retention. The Group is based in Oxford and has a membership of 200 volunteers who raise money through their own activities and channel these funds to a local Mali charity. He illustrated his talk with slides collected during his visits to Mali. 2 Peter Castle, Club member, described the development of the Great Central Railway from its beginnings in 1890 until it amalgamated with other companies during the 1920s.It's original route was Manchester to Lincoln via Nottingham and Sheffield but in it's heyday it had an extension to London Marylebone, eventually running through trains to Penzance using other companies tracks. A small section remains today as a tourist attraction running between Leicester and the outskirts of Nottingham via Loughborough. 3 Malcolm Crowe, a retired teacher, talked about his second career as a toymaker. This started in the 1970s with doll's houses built to represent the purchaser's own house. He moved on to puppetmaking and now teaches puppetry in schools as well as expanding into high quality wooden toys and games. He ssupplies a few shops but sells mainly through craft fairs. Members were impressed with the selection of items which he displayed. These included old fashioned spinning tops, wooden vehicles, jigsaw puzzles, solitaire and chinese chequers. He also produces wooden train sets and house name plates to order. His next visit to Hadleigh is likely to be at next year's May Show - visit him in the craft tent. MEMBERSHIP: The Club would like to hear from anyone, male or female, who wishes to know more about Rotary. At Hadleigh you have a chance to listen to a variety of interesting speakers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere whilst also having the opportunity to give a little back to the community by joining in the Club's charitable work. You lose nothing by coming along to a meeting and may gain much by way of new friends and activities. We look forward to seeing you. For all information about Hadleigh Rotary Club please contact Rotarian Alan Williams tel no 01473 830229

Hadleigh Healing Society September, the time of mellow fruitfulness. For some the most beautiful time of the year, with its changing colours in the countryside. For others, the thought of long, dark days and cold weather is most depressing. Some young people will be starting on a new adventure in their life going to university or travelling during a gap year. There are so many horizons open to young people these days in spite of the financial climate. The older generation shake their heads and say “it was not like this in my day, we left school one day and started work the next”. Times and attitudes change and it is not always possible to keep up with them. Some things never change. We, the healers at The Bungalow are always there to listen and help those who feel they cannot cope with change. Everything is in the strictest confidence and no judgements made. If you feel we could help you please telephone for an appointment 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto our website www.hadleighhealingsociety.org. You are not alone.

Babergh to Residents: “Don’t lose your right to vote – and more” Forms asking for details of all people eligible to vote in the Babergh District Council area will soon be delivered to every house. Next week, new voter registration forms will be arriving on the doormats of the 8,500 residential properties across Babergh. The forms allow people, if necessary, to change the names of voters registered at their address. Changes will then appear on the new Register of Electors when it is published in December. Ray Amesbury, Babergh’s Senior Democratic Services Manager, said “the important thing to remember is that a response needs to be made even if there is no change to the details already printed on the form but, if there are no changes, people can confirm their details on the internet or by telephone rather than sending back the form – and this will save the Council money as well”. “If no response is received though, there is a chance that people could be left off the register. This will mean both that they will not be able to vote at the District Council elections and the planned referendum on the voting system next year, but also that credit companies and banks may refuse any applications as they wouldn’t be able check the person’s identity and verify their address” added Ray Amesbury. The information requested is required by law and must be provided as soon as possible to ensure that names are not left off the list. Anyone who hasn’t received a form by the second week in September or who needs help with filling in the form, should call Babergh’s electoral services office on (01473) 825713.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Goodbye to an old friend - The Final bough The picture shows the Monkey Puzzle tree that has stood in the URC churchyard for well over one hundred years. Beside the tree is another heavy bough that has fallen in recent weeks. This has happened despite some significant pruning last year. Very sadly the tree will now have to be felled. The church would be interested in any readers’ memories of the tree which has been such a landmark for so many years.

Hadleigh Community Primary School It may be the end of term, but there has been no rest for the children at Hadleigh Community Primary School! In fact, Year 6 have never been busier! In the last week of term, all of the Year 6 pupils worked together to perform their (modern), version of the Shakespeare tragedy, ‘Romeo and Juliet’. They had to give up two evenings in order to do this, giving parents an opportunity to say goodbye to the school and staff before the children move up to High School in September. The production was extremely polished with superb dances (well I did say it was a modern version!), very clear speaking and great role play. The rest of the school had an opportunity to see all, or parts, of the play the previous Friday. Well done year 6 – a superb ending to your time at the school. Farewell to Gwen Dunn Gwen Dunn, as well as being a published poet, has been a great friend to our school. In the past, she has helped with reading, has donated her piano, and has been a school governor for many years. However, she felt the time was right for her to retire from her position, and the children presented her with a book of poetry during our final assembly on the last day of term. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Gwen for all of her help and support, and to wish her all the best for the future.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Porch Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Forthcoming Youth Worker Last month we updated you on exciting plans to serve the young people of Hadleigh. Those plans continue to progress, so hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an update: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Porch Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; began exactly a year ago, based in St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church. This challenging project provides a safe space and hospitality for those who are 13 to 19 years of age, particularly on a Friday evening, but also informally at other times. We are now in contact with over seventy young people. During the spring, several people from other churches and the wider community offered to help in a variety of ways. As the project moves into a new phase this autumn there is a special evening during which people can be updated on forthcoming plans and also explore how they might help. Suffolk County Council youth workers have also offered to lead a short training session afterwards for all those who already help, or would like to. All of this is planned for Friday 10 September, 7.30 to 10pm in St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Hadleigh. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to tell us if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just turn up! The latest news concerning the youth worker is that a job advert will appear in the September issue of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youth Worker Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with interviews being held in early October and the successful candidate here for January 2011.

Taoist Tai ChiTM internal art of taijiquan The Taoist Tai Chi™ internal art of taijiquan (Tai Chi) is a gentle set of movements that promotes health and well-being for adults of all ages and in all health conditions. It is specifically designed for improving health in the holistic sense. At the mental and spiritual level, it encourages an attitude of calm, compassion and reduced self-centredness during practice and in daily life. This aspect is cultivated in particular through the Society’s volunteer ethos. The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Great Britain is part of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society, founded in 1970 by Master Moy Lin-Shin, a Taoist monk, who devoted his life to helping people restore and maintain their health. The Society now spreads his work in more than 500 locations in 26 countries. New beginners classes start in Hadleigh on Tue 21st Sept (see ad), with other classes across Suffolk and into Norfolk. For more information ring 07532 003771 or visit our website www.taoist.org.uk

Hi its Richard & Steve of Approved Plumbing and Property Solutions Limited After several months of trading as a partnership, we would like to thank all our new and existing customers for their support. We received a great response from our launch article and have since completed several projects locally. With this success, we have been able to offer an apprenticeship placement. We are lucky enough to have been able to keep it in the family. Danny Collis joins us in September with a passion for plumbing and a willingness to learn all aspects of the property maintenance trade. He will be a great asset to Steve and me and we look forward to passing on our experience and knowledge. We hope that Danny will be the first of many apprentices employed by Approved Plumbing as both Steve and I feel it is essential to give the young people of Hadliegh and the surrounding area the start in life we were both given. The apprentice programme has faltered in recent years because of the recession, the demand for experience staff and the financial obligation. We know that the 16-25 year age group has suffered worst. We hope that by giving young people a chance to succeed and learn a trade, it will breed self respect and loyalty. So let us hope that we are successful in our dream. In other news Steve, his lovely partner Debbie and I will be running in a sponsored 10k run at Hyde Park in Chelmsford on behalf of Cancer Research through Tesco’s in October 2010. It is a charity close to our hearts and we hope to raise at least £500.00. Should you have a special place in your heart for cancer research too, you can sponsor us by going to http://www.run10ksponsorme.org/approvedplumbing This is the time of year where the sun is out (hopefully) and everyone is busy with the school holidays and entertaining the children. So it may not be top of your list, to think about that bathroom refit or kitchen refurb you have been toying with. However, it is the time of year when the suppliers of bathrooms, kitchens and tiles are promoting some great offers and discounts. So even if you are not ready for the installation it is a great time to buy or pre order to enjoy the benefits of these great prices. Then, when the hubbub of the six weeks holiday is distant memory, you will be ready to treat yourself to that new bathroom or kitchen but at a fraction of the cost. We pride ourselves on being professional, honest and offer excellent value for money. So please keep the name of Approved Plumbing and Property Solutions in mind for any of your up and coming projects. We also offer £50.00 cash back or £50.00 off your next project should you refer us and we win the project. For more information on this offer and to see photographs of our most recent projects please visit www.appsolutionsltd.com

Lavender Hall Kindergarten News from The Station Welcome to this months news edition from the Police Station. Regular readers will know that over the last few months we have been dealing with an anti-social behaviour issue at Stonehouse Road, Hadleigh. Through a thorough investigation and close working practices with Babergh District Council, we met with a number local teenagers who regularly socialise in that area to talk with them about their needs and wants. Many agreed to sign acceptable behaviour contracts with us acknowledging a need for change in some of the behaviour displayed at certain times. The productive meetings showed us that many of those involved wanted a facility to meet and socialise, and felt there was little in the way of entertainment in the Town. To emphasise our commitment to improving the links with all parts of our community, we have teamed up with Babergh District Council and have arranged funding for the new astro turf facility at Hadleigh High School. The funding means that those involved can now play football and socialise on the astro turf every Wednesday evening until the end of October. We hope that towards the end of this period some of the teenagers involved will be able to raise their own funding to continue bookings on a regular basis. To kick this initiative off, representative teams from Hadleigh Police Station and Babergh District Council competed in a mini 6 a side football tournament with two teams made up of the younger community. This took place on Tuesday 27 July, and following a tough group stage saw our Police side narrowly defeated in the final by one of the teenage teams. Babergh finished in third. Our thanks go to all of those who participated on the night, and in particular, to Jamie Leeks who gave up his own time on his week off to volunteer to referee the event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was very much appreciated! We continue to work behind the scenes on my initiatives, but still find much of our time being taken up by the parking issues around the Town. We remind residents to be sensible when driving into our Town Centre and to use the free carparks. Monday to Saturday, 8am until 6pm single yellow lines cannot be parked on. Double yellow lines cannot be used to park on at any time. Those caught parking in these areas will be fined ÂŁ30. We remain open to any comments, questions, or invitations, so please use the below details to contact us.

St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh Dear Friends GOING BACK TO CHURCH When Marion was invited to church by her friend Anne she thought 'Why not?' She said "I don’t think I have ever been to a church service where I have laughed so much.” After attending Back to Church Sunday at St Mary's in Haversham, Marion went on one of the courses they hold to explore the Christian faith. Back to Church Sunday changed the way she thought of church. She said “Churches to me were always cold, severe places in many ways, where you went and got preached at and told off on a Sunday - it wasn’t much fun. Now it’s different. There's a variety of speakers and approaches. It’s very welcoming. I don’t remember church being like that in my youth.” Now, Marion encourages those who've also stopped going to church or have never been to church to 'give it a try and go with an open mind'. That’s the story of just one of the 82,000 people who went back to church, or to church for the first time, during last years Back to Church Sunday. There are all sorts of reasons why you may have been to church in the past, but now don’t go. Perhaps because of various things which have happened in your life, you just got out of the habit. Maybe you have had a bad experience there, perhaps one similar to Marion’s story. You may have been turned off by someone else’s comments, or entering the door of a church is a scary thought. Back to Church Sunday is on 26 September this year. If you already go to church, then please think and pray about who you might invite to come with you that day. If you haven’t been to church for a while, or maybe have never been, then why not try it for yourself that day. There are main church services at St Mary’s Hadleigh at 10.45am, St Andrew’s Layham at 9.15am and All Saint’s Shelley at 10.30am. However, you might like to go to any other church that you know of. Wherever you go, you will be given a warm welcome and please be assured that you will not be put under pressure to return, if you don’t want to. You will be accepted just as you are, so please don’t feel that you need to wear your ‘Sunday best’ clothes if that would make you uncomfortable. As ever, you are very welcome to speak to be about church and the Christian faith – or please contact any other church leader/minister that you know. See you on Sunday 26th! With my love and prayers

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre Doesn’t time fly? It seems only yesterday that I was greeting the start of the Summer Holidays, now they are almost over. On that note, Riders and Helpers! Don’t forget the Autumn Term starts on Monday 13th September! In my August Blog I made an appeal for additional Helpers, although I understand due to publishing reasons, not all of you will have seen the Blog on this occasion. Yes! We are looking for additional Helpers at The Centre, especially for Tuesday mornings; if you are able to spare a couple of hours from your day to help us to help others it would be great. On average, we need three Helpers for every Rider; one to attend to the horse or pony with the other two assisting the Rider, so you can imagine we are very heavy on people power. If you have been thinking of offering your time or are looking for something worthwhile to do with your spare time then please give us a call and come and visit and get an Application Form. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a horsey person, the people at The Centre will train you (With a little help from me and the Herd). Why help? Well, let one of our Riders speak for herself. Elizabeth is aged 5 years old and has Muscular Dystrophy and although unable to walk, uses her powered wheelchair to great effect. However, riding has added another dimension to her mobility, while at the same time exercising and strengthening her muscles and joints. Elizabeth says “When I ride Holly I can feel what it’s like to walk; Holly is my legs when I am riding her. Marion, my teacher, is fun and Liz and Claire help me to ride. I have lots of fun at riding with my friends that go. I like riding Ebony the robotic horse because I get to go fast”. Does that not say it all? I’m glad that I too am helping Elizabeth in my mechanical way. September brings our Long Distance Sponsored Ride which takes us in part through the beautiful Brett Valley and back to The Centre for tea and cakes. A prize is given for the highest sponsorship raised, so do come along. Entry Forms are available by sending a SAE to Mrs M A Rayner, Heath Farm, Hadleigh Heath, Suffolk IP7 5NY or email maggierayner@hotmail.com - With good weather it’s a great day out so do come and join us. Well, that’s me done; my check up was successful so I’m oiled and systems upgraded and I’m ready to go! Looking forward to seeing my Riders and Helpers and maybe, you too as a new Helper?

65 old Carol Mardell has been given a new lease of life after losing nearly 5 stone following a near fatal car accident. Carol’s weight problem started when her husband died at Christmas in 2003 and she consoled herself with food until her weight reached over 18stone. It was whilst on holiday in Turkey a couple of years later that due to her size she was unable to get up and dance which was something she had always loved doing and realised she had to do something. So on her return she tried to lose some weight herself and successfully lost just over a stone but struggled to carry on on her own. Knowing that a couple of her friends were going to the Slimming World group in Hadleigh she decided to join. “I couldn’t believe how much you could eat; I could have potatoes, pasta, fish, meat and loads of fruit and vegetables and didn’t have to weigh, measure or count any of it!” Carol went on to say that also knowing that nothing was banned meant she could still have the treats she enjoyed and it really helped her stay in control and lose weight. Things were going really well for Carol, she was full of life again and loved going to group each week to spend time with her fellow slimmers some of whom had become firm friends but one day in May 2008 her whole life was turned upside down again when she was hit by a drunk driver. She sustained a broken neck and was unable to feed herself or walk. She also had serious damage to her elbow and knees and her road to recovery was long and drawn out not just physically but mentally. After 6 weeks she started to stand up and then tried to walk but it took another 9 months before she regained any normality in her life and understandably she regained a lot of weight. Carol was absolutely determined to return to group and when she did there was a new Consultant there called Yvonne who welcomed her back to group. “Yvonne gave me so much support and encouragement to get back on track” Carol said. Carol reached her target weight in June 2010 having lost 4stone and 12lbs. “To say I am over the moon would be an understatement” Carol said. “I still go to group each Thursday night at the Guildhall and help out on the social team, the group is so friendly and we all help each other, it feels like an extended family. We have our ups and downs but we all support each other. Slimming World and all it has to offer has helped to change my life”. You can get more information on what Slimming World has to offer by logging on to www.slimmingworld.co.uk and for more information on the Hadleigh group which meets at the Guildhall every Thursday at 5.30 and 7.30 call Yvonne on 01787 210056.

For Legal Support, wherever you are in life…It’s got to be Gotelee Solicitors Over the past 130 years, Suffolk based law firm Gotelee Solicitors has established a strong reputation as a friendly local practice – a reputation that has built on the beliefs of two of the founding partners, Harry Gotelee and Claude Goldsmith. From its offices in Church Street Hadleigh Gotelee provides a comprehensive range of legal services and advice to private individuals and businesses; services that are underpinned by the practice’s local knowledge. Martin Whitworth, Gotelee Managing Partner, commented: “The way our clients buy their legal services has altered dramatically over recent years and this is a trend that will continue. We understand that our development as a practice remains closely entwined with the changing needs and growth of the local community. We have thrived for over 13 decades because we evolve to keep pace with change.” One of the more obvious ways the company has evolved in recent weeks was its relaunch at the beginning of this month from Gotelee & Goldsmith to Gotelee. At a launch party held on 2nd September, which was attended by over 100 Suffolk business people, the firm announced its new name and unveiled its brand new ‘Client Promise’, a charter that identifies a number of commitments the practice pledges to deliver, covering all aspects of service, from the cost to how quickly the firm will respond to an enquiry. Commenting on their reasons for the rebrand, Senior Partner, Brian Morron, explained: “To enable us to continue to grow and meet the challenges of the 21st century, we need to build on our well established reputation as a friendly, full service law firm. Our existing business and private clients already benefit from our expertise and our commitment to outstanding service. They know how hard we work to build up a strong and personal relationship with everyone we act for.” “As a firm we have given a lot of consideration to the future of the business in terms of what we are doing and how we can develop. To aid us in attracting new business, our ‘Client Promise’ clearly defines what can be expected from us. This will not only encourage new clients to come to us for advice, but provides peace of mind in knowing from the

outset the service they’ll receive and the price they’ll pay. It will also, undoubtedly, help to ensure we continue to offer the kind of progressive service our clients have come to expect.” Commenting on the future of the business, Martin said: “If you don’t change you’ll eventually end up going backwards. The environment in which we work is constantly changing. For instance, we understand that pricing certainty is very important to our clients. So, we have taken a bold step and stated that we will give a fixed price in advance, wherever it is possible to do so, and once given, we will keep to this price. “This is just the start however, and over the next few months, we will continue to put measures in place that will benefit our clients. We want to ensure that when someone is looking for a legal firm that puts their needs first, they’ll automatically think; it’s got to be Gotelee.” In addition to Hadleigh, Gotelee has an office at Elm Street in Ipswich. For further information please contact the Hadleigh office on 01473 822102 or visit the website at www.gotelee.co.uk.

Scratch dial on Layham Church

Letter from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matters covered in the Parish Council Meeting of 28 July were: • Our District Councillor outlined the continuing negotiations concerning the possible voluntary merger of Babergh with Mid-Suffolk District Council. • The idea of creating an e-Community in Layham (all homes having the opportunity to be on an e-Mail distribution list for urgent news) was raised. It will be discussed at the next meeting. • Plans have been drawn up and costings have been received by the Green Team for the construction of an Upper Layham local waste management site (or Bring Site). Funding now has to sought and the details shared with those who live near the proposed site. • Satisfaction was expressed at the completion of the multi-purpose hard play area on the playing field. • The Clerk’s salary is to be paid (backdated) as £210 per month for 2009/10 and is to be £225 per month during 2010/11. Funding is also to be made available to enable her to complete her advanced qualification through the Suffolk Association of Local Councils. • Another parishioner has been added to the allotment waiting list. It was agreed to consider the establishment of more allotments. This subject to be discussed at the next full meeting of the Council

Playing Field Baptism of the multi-purpose play area. On a warm summer afternoon, a variety of games were set up on the new hard surface and local children and visitors had a chance to experiment with several different games. Over the afternoon children and young people were seen to be playing basketball; tennis; hockey; cricket; football and using bicycles and skateboards. Everyone who took part agreed that the surface is a great new asset. Now we must save the pennies to provide some permanent equipment in order that the area is used to its full potential. It would be good if a keen parent started an ‘informal club’ in something like volleyball, short tennis or cricket. If that appeals to you then please contact Terri Newman on 824993 and we will see how the Playing Field Management Committee can help.

In medieval times (1100-1600) ‘scratch’ dials were often etched into the stonework on the south walls of parish churches – usually on stonework around the main doorway. The term ‘scratch’ is used as most of these were lightly cut. Layham church has such a dial. It is a circle with radiating lines scratched so that the shadow of the peg, placed in the central hole, would indicate to the bell ringer the times he should ring the bell to call parishoners to church services. Our Layham dial is at the south facing doorway and although well worn it is possible to make out the horizontal line which marks 6am to 6pm. The other marks indicate the times of the daily services. Thank you to Noel Herring for pointing this out.

Hot Sunday Lunch Advance notice 31 October in Layham Village Hall A very popular event so book in good time with either Sonia Groom on 822220 or Audrey King on 822081. Full details in the next magazine.

Would you like a Walnut Tree in your garden? The Parish Tree Warden (Michael Woods) has access to a few walnut trees that have been grown in pots. If you would like one please phone 823798 and place your order. First come – first served!

Art installation in Layham? You may be aware of some of the art installations which are erected in public places around the country. Often they are abstract. Imagine my surprise when this piece, named ‘Pipework 2010’ appeared at the entrance to Brett Green. I was lucky to see it – it was only exhibited for a couple of hours and then put back in its box. Maybe we should ask the Parish Council to consider making some permanent purchases – with a view to attracting tourists?

Well done Harry!

For doing so well in Hadleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent, we are all very proud of you. love Mum, Dad, Max, Nannie, Grandad and Nannie Lil.

Put a smile on your mug! The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Biggest Coffee Morning is back and this year Macmillan Cancer Support needs your help even more than ever. Can you help them? If so all you need to do is register to take part and you will receive a free fundraising pack so you can help even more people living with cancer. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Biggest Coffee Morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event takes place on Friday 24 September. Luke Wheeler, Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Last year ÂŁ120,000 was raised in Suffolk from 700 events. It would be wonderful if readers who have held events before could go one step further by raising an extra ÂŁ50 at their events. Collectively our coffee morning hosts make an amazing difference. There are currently 2 million people living with cancer in the UK and one in three of us will be affected by cancer at some point during our lifetime. Macmillan is best known for its nurses but we do provide other support including a free phone line for anyone affected by cancer, financial support for things like hospital trips and we also campaign for better cancer care. So every cup of coffee on 24 September really will count.â&#x20AC;? Everyone can make their cuppa count by holding a coffee morning, at home, at work or at school. To hold a coffee morning for Macmillan, register by calling 0845 602 1246 or visit www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee. Unable to hold an event? Then why not make a donation to Macmillan by calling the above number and paying by debit or credit card.

MATTERS ARISING The Chair reported that with regard to the White Lion application, and the subsequent correspondence to Babergh DC, that she and the Clerk had a meeting scheduled for Tuesday 3 August 2010 with Mr M Hammond the Deputy Chief Executive. The outcome of this meeting would be put on the next agenda as a separate item. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/10/00707/LC 6 Church Street, Hadleigh Application for Listed Building Consent- Erect a double hanging advertising sign and replace wall plate advertising sign Approval was recommended (voting was unanimous) B/10/00711/FUL 74 & 74A High Street, Hadleigh External alterations. Approval was recommended (voting was unanimous) B/10/00712/LBC 74 High Street, Hadleigh Application for Listed Building Consent – External and internal alterations Approval was recommended (voting was unanimous) B/10/00842/FHA Red House, Pound Lane, Hadleigh Erection of 3 no extensions, together with the construction of a garden store. Approval was recommended (voting was unanimous) B/10/00876/FUL Land west of Hill Farm, Pond Hall Road, Hadleigh Change of use of agricultural land for use as a 50 pitch touring caravan park. Erection of single-storey visitor building. Erection of toilet/shower block. Erection of machine store.

B/09/01464/DPA Calais Street Pavilion, Calais Street, Hadleigh Application under Regulation 3 of Town and Country Planning General Regulation 1992- Erection of community building and security fencing; construction of play area and associated works (following demolition of existing community building). Approval was recommended (voting was unanimous) ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Clerk reported a telephone call she had received from Faithfulls regarding their planning application for Lady Lane/Tower Mill Lane. The company felt that the comments made by the Town Council regarding the application were not representative of the company’s intentions and had asked the Clerk to put to the Committee his offer to attend a future meeting. The Committee felt that as this application had already been dealt with and the comments forwarded to Babergh DC then there would be no benefit in this but they asked the Clerk to contact the company and suggest that for any future applications in the area they contact the Council prior to making the application which would alleviate any such problems occurring. The Chair reported that she had attended the Strategy Meeting at Babergh DC in her capacity on the Standards Committee. She reported that with regard to East House Babergh were currently looking to market the property again. After talks with English Heritage, it has been decided that Babergh DC will request planning permission to sell East House as one or two units together with the construction of four large detached properties with gardens. East House will then be marketed again to obtain the optimum price. The Mayor suggested that we bid again for East House either for the same amount or due to the current market a lower bid considering the amount of vandalism to the property and the fact it has now remained empty for the past four years. As this had been agreed by the Town Council previously she thought this would pose no problems but requested this be a separate item on the September Town Council agenda for discussion and decision by the Full Council. Cllr D. Grutchfield advised the Council that Ian Tippett, Babergh DC Officer, has another meeting with the residents of Toppesfield Close. The following item had been received late but as it was only an amended item it was discussed by Committee. B/10/00732/FUL Land to Rear of 31 to 34 Lady Lane, Hadleigh Proposed lighting to lorry yard as amplified by email from agent received 26th July 2010, to state that proposed lighting is required without restriction of hours. The Committee requested that the Clerk email Babergh DC informing them that the Council would not be happy with this and reiterating the comments made when the original application was received i.e. that the lighting should not be on when no-one is on site. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.24pm Mrs. Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Bobbin Lace Classes

Stairlift FREE to collect!

I am not sure that there ever was a lace-making history in Hadleigh – it seems unlikely, but maybe we can start a tradition! The history of LaceMaking is sometimes quite gory – when the Excise men of the time were (unsuccessfully) trying to stamp out both smuggling and smugglers, people went to extraordinary lengths to obtain their lace adornments, sometimes even putting hefty stones in coffins, and then filling the coffin with laces, for sale to the grand ladies. When the Excise men got wise to this, and wanted to open the coffins to find the lace, they very often weren’t brave enough to do so, as the accompanying ‘relatives’ of the socalled deceased told them that he/she died of cholera. And so the laces were able to reach their destinations… We nowadays don’t have to smuggle our threads, pillows, patterns and bobbins into or out of the country, and can enjoy making lace, and collecting all the bobbins and impedimenta which seem to necessary – and which we sometimes can’t resist. But – if you wish to make lace, in a friendly class, you would be made most welcome. Carol Adkinson, a qualified tutor of bobbin-lace, has several vacancies in her class, so if you are interested do give her a ring, as Carol has all the equipment – the pillows, threads, bobbins, prickings etc - for you to borrow until you realise you are also addicted to bobbin lace-making, and wish to purchase your own. Carol has been making lace for about thirty years now, and teaching for fifteen. She has attended courses and workshops to broaden her knowledge of lace, and has also gained the City and Guilds Teaching Certificates to enhance her teaching skills. Students can work towards qualifications such as the Lace Guild Assessments if they so wish, can learn the history of lace-making, but most people come because they want to learn a traditional and beautiful craft with like-minded people, and also want a change from the domestic chores, so the mantra at lace classes is ‘Lace-Making is FUN.’ So, if you are interested in learning this beautiful craft, then do give Carol a ring on Ipswich (01473) 810160 – she will be delighted to hear from you, and to give you more details of the classes, which are held in Hadleigh High School, in Highlands Road, on Tuesday evenings in termtime, from 7.15 pm to 9.15pm. The winter term starts again on September 21st, so do give Carol a ring – she will have a pillow all ready for you to start your lace-making addiction!

Will fit a three storey house such as those in Ansell Close, Timperley Road, should also fit a staircase of about ten steps, or with a bend! Needs installation. Call Hadleigh 809927

New Tax Year Planning After New Tax Rule The Emergency Budg Seminar

Local groups urged to apply for cash boosts Community groups and parishes across part of Babergh could be in line to receive much-needed cash boosts from a Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) grant programme. Local groups and charities are being urged to apply in a bid to secure their slice of grant fund. Bids are being sought for projects from parish councils and community groups that promote young people’s participation in positive activities, adult participation in sport and recreation, help for vulnerable people to achieve independent living and improving the area’s natural or historic environment. Preference will be given to applicants where it is demonstrated there is a high degree of volunteer involvement and where other funding is also in place. Cllr Penny Clarke, Chairman of the LSP, said: “This is the fourth round of small community grants from the LSP. “Parish Councils and voluntary groups can apply for money for small local projects that could make a real difference to a community. “If you want to improve your village pond, help people get more active or set up a lunch club then this fund could help you.” The Babergh East LSP has dished out nearly £50,000 in funding to a variety of projects since 2007. Tim Mutum, Babergh’s Project and Programme Executive and the LSP's co-ordinator, said: "I would be pleased to talk to any organisation to explain the fund in more detail but bidding is easy so I would urge local communities to have a go and try and secure money for their area. “Decisions should be made before the end of the year so successful applicants will get a nice boost just before Christmas!"

HIGHCLIFF VETERINARY PRACTICE

The origins of Highcliff Veterinary Practice were with the Grimwade family in Kersey in the first half of the 19th Century. The Grimwades lived in the ‘Thatched Cottage’ at the top of the The Street at the Priory end of the village. The Lemon family were the animal doctors from 1870-1980. George Lemon born in 1850 lived in ‘Denbigh House’ now ‘Kedges End’ with a horses tail hanging from the eaves as a sign of a horse doctor. His sons succeeded him Alfred and George in 1911, when he died without a will all the contents of the house were sold, the furniture being bought back by the sons. Alfred bought all the veterinary drugs and appliances for £6-9s-6d. Don Lemon the son of Alfred was the first qualified veterinary surgeon locally and started here in 1939. In 1945 he was joined by Bruce Sutherland and the practice became Lemon & Sutherland until Don Lemon retired in 1975. It then became Highcliff Veterinary Practice since it was based in Hadleigh High Street and Cliff Lane in Ipswich. The partners pictured in the photograph are top row left to right Michael Newman, Barry Hitchcock, Howard Tribe, Roy Hullis, bottom row Bruce Sutherland, Don Lemon and Paul Ryde. Highcliff Veterinary Practice 01473 822704

KERSEY FLOWER & VEGETABLE SHOW

Highcliff Veterinary Practice has now completed an extensive refurbishment and modernisation programme, undertaken over the last two and a half years at its Hadleigh surgery. The practice has evolved over five generations, from the Lemon family who were horse doctors in Kersey.

Community First Responders During July our group attended 18 life threatening calls using our car, which has been transformed by the addition of sign writing on front, back and both sides. The Ambulance service has at long last recognised the vital contribution we make to the community and has installed a dedicated responder desk at the control room in Norwich, staffed 24hrs a day from a team of 5 dispatchers who’s job it is to make sure that whenever possible a responder is sent to the scene. I would like to point out however that the Ambulance service has a strict criteria for sending us so not all calls to 999 will result in our attendance. We also have the ongoing problem of lack of qualified responders, so if we did not attend your call, sorry, but it’s usually because we were not called. We still need more people to train up as responders so if you have not contacted me yet please visit our website www.hadleigh.respondersuk.org Trevor Sheldrick Coordinator

Film Review with Mat Lucas

Joe Double

Inception

joe recently passed away after a short illness at the age of 88. Formerly of Hadleigh and publican of The Raydon Chequers. Funeral to be held on Tuesday 7th September at 12 noon at Raydon Church.

(12A, 148mins, Christopher Nolan) Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, known by most for his direction of the latest two Batman films and Memento, brings the biggest film of the summer to the land of his birth. Inception cost around 160 million USD, slightly more than one of its main competitors this summer, The A-Team ($110 million) and slightly less than another, Toy Story 3 ($200 million). Although both these competitors can put forward cases for being the big summer blockbuster, especially Toy Story 3, when it comes to originality, resourcefulness and outright entertainment both films fall short. The A-Team is a remake of 1980’s hit television show, and Toy Story 3 is the third film in the famous Pixar-made franchise. So whilst one is a remake and the other is a second sequel, Inception is a new concept altogether. The film stars none other than Leonardo DiCaprio in the main role playing Dom, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page and Ken Watanabe all playing important characters. The characters are at the centre of this film, which makes characterization very important. This is one place where the film succeeds. Another is in narrative structure. Although highly complex, the film never feels too unrealistic or hard to follow, which allows maximum enjoyment. The third main area where Inception has and will continue to receive credit for is its spectacle. Films with complex narratives often let visual thrills fade, but here there are more than enough special effects to keep audiences wowed. Inception features some amazing dream sequences with truly fantastic special effects. Cinematographically and in relation to editing the film succeeds too, as each and every dream is shot and cut to make you believe you are there with the characters. Nolan makes good use of slow-motion as well, with a few important scenes being slowed down to represent one thing or another. No matter how many reviews you read none will truly be able to describe or explain what happens within Inception to its full potential. The Internet Movie DataBase (Imdb.com) ranks Inception at number three in its top 250 films list, with over one hundred thousand user votes giving the film a thumbs up. This is more than appropriate for a film which takes originality to a level not seen for some time in this genre. Also, don’t be put off by the apparent complexity of the film; it is explained to an extent which does not patronise the audience, but does answer the majority of their lingering questions. Personal judgement: An absolute treat. A superb cast, backed with a solid plot and an exceptionally ambiguous ending. Rating: 4/5

Marie Curie delight at £5,000 Co-operative donation East of England Co-operative Society employees across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex have raised a fantastic £5,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Employees at stores and offices across the region put on their best sparkles and sequins to take part in Glitter Up Friday to support the charity. Together colleagues raised more than £3,000 which was boosted by a donation from the Society to make the cheque handed over up to £5,000. Over the last four years the Society and its employees have raised more than £35,000 by taking part in Glitter Up Fridays for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The charity cares for people with cancer and other terminal illnesses. Their services are free of charge to patients and their families and the charity is best known for its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the community to provide end-of-life care for patients in their own homes. Miriam Harrup, Communications Manager for the East of England Cooperative Society said: “We are delighted to have raised more than £35,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care over the last four years, which has been used to help nurse more patients in the East of England.” Angela Bussey, Community Fundraiser Suffolk & Norfolk said: “It has been great to get so much support from the East of England Co-operative Society over the last four years. The money raised will be used towards the nursing service locally, and will make a real difference. It is vital for Marie Curie Cancer Care to be supported by organisations like the East of England Co-op and we are very proud to be one of the charities they have chosen to support.”

ANSELL CENTRE REPAIRS

THE LAST STATION (15) FRIDAY 17th SEPTEMBER at 7.30 pm £3 Our film for September takes you back in time to 1910 – the last year in the life of the celebrated writer Leo Tolstoy, played by Christopher Plummer (remember him from The Sound of Music days!?) His devoted wife is Sophia, portrayed - in sometimes lively, sometimes annoying fashion - by our celebrated actress Helen Mirren. The couple have had many years of a loving marriage, but Tolstoy’s idealistic and spiritual side is at odds with Sophia’s more down-toearth and conventionally religious views. She becomes obsessed with quashing the challenge from Tolstoy’s most ardent follower who has devious plans to secure the copyright of Tolstoy’s work following his death. In the middle of these warring factions is Tolstoy’s new secretary, Valentin, who views at close quarters the temperamental relationship between the writer and his beloved wife. Battle lines are now drawn. The film proceeds to serve up one tastefully presented scene after another set in the house and in the grounds of the Count’s country estate . Released in 2009 “The Last Station” is based on the 1990 biographical novel of the same name by Jay Parini. The film is at 7.30pm on 17th September with an interval for refreshments. Tickets £3 on the door. You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre

As mentioned elsewhere in this newsletter, repairs to the roof of the Ansell Centre and resurfacing of some of the pathways between the URC and the Ansell Centre have now been completed. At the time of writing this article repairs to the floor are being undertaken and during October work will take place on the windows. These works will put the building into a good state of repair (though it will not look very different) and will ensure the continued use of the Ansell Centre as a valuable asset for town and community activities. The ACC and URC, working together, have plans to refurbish the premises and bring them up to a higher standard of accommodation – but this is a project for the future! In the meantime, please support our activities and the many groups who use the premises on a regular basis – ANSELL DIGITAL CINEMA, ANSELL LUNCHEON CLUB, CHILDMINDERS, CRAFT CLUB, DANCE CLASSES, DIAMOND LITES MAJORETTES, HADLEIGH INCLUSION PROJECT, ILLUSIONS MAJORETTES, LIP READING CLASSES, RISE ‘N’ SHINE PLAYGROUP, TAI CHI, U3A, WEDNESDAY LUNCH CLUB. For more information about any of the above or to hire the Ansell Centre for private events please contact Jan on 823413.

WEDNESDAY LUNCH CLUB Wednesday Lunch Club is scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month and has replaced Ansell Snacks. If you would like to enjoy a reasonably priced meal (using local food whenever possible) and have a good chat, then why not join our friendly club? There is no membership fee and a two course meal followed by tea or coffee costs £3. Please contact Frances on 823719 or Biddy on 822285 for more information or to become a member.

ARCHIVE FLICKS IN THE SIX Bringing the East Anglian Film Archive to the six counties in the East Something Rather Special –

AN EVENING OF FILM NOSTALGIA! On 8th October your Film Committee welcomes Stewart Orr from the East Anglian Film Archive. Stewart’s historic film library is vast, ranging from 1896 to the present day, and he will be presenting a themed programme from ideas submitted by Hadleigh residents earlier this year. Whether it was the railway, war memories, people, places or events, we look forward to seeing glimpses of our past, together with related events and places not necessarily associated with Hadleigh. This archive film evening is part of the Suffolk Digital Cinema Network presentations in and around our region this autumn. Details of the films will appear in October’s Community News and in leaflets available from the library and other outlets. In the meantime please book this date in your diary. Demand for seats at the Ansell Centre on 8th October will be brisk, so do come early as Stewart Orr’s evening starts at 7.30pm.

Rev up your engines for charity ride-out in aid of Local Hospital Join the rally of bikers this year as they set off from the Orwell Crossing on Sunday 19 September 2010 to raise money for the Trauma and Orthopaedic Wards at Ipswich Hospital. The Triangle (Ipswich) Motorcycle Club welcomes all bikers to join them in their charity ride-out which leaves the Orwell Crossing Lorry Park for a rural route of approximately 50 miles to The White Lodge Public House, Attleborough. Each year our region’s motorcyclists join forces for the annual charity event, which last year raised around £1000 for a hat and wig unit at Ipswich Hospital’s Cancer Unit. This time round, organisers hope their fundraising efforts will help fund new equipment for the hospital’s Trauma and Orthopaedic Wards. Neale Harrison, of the Triangle Motorcycle Club shows his appreciation. “A member of our club came off his bike last summer and after spending some time in intensive care, he was moved to Needham Spinal Ward where he received a fantastic level of care. We’d like to thank the nursing team by donating towards new call systems and overhead mirrors to help continue the quality of care for other spinal injury patients.” The Motorcycle Charity Run is a great opportunity to rally with friends and meet other riders whilst supporting the needs of a local hospital. And there’s nothing stopping friends, family and supporters from coming along to wave and cheer riders on their way. “The charity ride is open to anyone who wishes to participate - the more the merrier, it’s for a good cause. As with previous years, we’ll be setting off from the Orwell Crossing. The venue is big, convenient and biker friendly,” continues Neale. “Plus everyone always welcomes the Orwell Crossing’s award-winning cooked breakfast for just £4.95 before the ride-out begins.” Riders are asked to assemble at 9am, ready to depart at 10.30am. A donation of £5 is to be paid at the start. For further information, visit www.trianglemcc.co.uk.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club The Summer outing for the club was to Wisley, when a packed coach of members, family and friends made the visit on 29th July a day of beautiful weather. What a wonderful day it turned out to be, well worth the journey just to see the new glass house, which is truly a masterpiece of design, execution and topography that takes one seamlessly from ground level to tree canopy showing pretty well any plant that requires special conditions, from cacti to tropical forest. Fantastic! The journey there was a piece of cake, coming back another story but, thank you everyone for your good humour during a fairly trying time, especially for our driver I would imagine. Never was there more interest in a horse box and various other trucks and the position there-of! I was relieved to hear on the traffic news the next day, it was even worse, being stationary from Wisley to the M25 tunnel crossing - poor souls! Despite the problems on this dreadful road, please do visit sometime if you haven’t been since the new green house was erected, the rest of the gardens are also undergoing extensive renovations, gorgeous. I was personally thrilled to discover they had their problems too. Brown rot is obviously not peculiar to my orchard, perhaps they don’t spray either, and then of course spying various weeds was a relief. Our extra meeting in August was a real treat. Phil and Chris Streeting gave us a talk on orchid growing and breeding, and showed us a most informative d.v.d. which covered a vast range of this most numerous of species. Judging from the number of members and guests who attended it was a subject of great interest. Phil and Chris also brought along some beautiful examples they grew themselves, thank you both for your input into the club. Our next meeting is 13th September. Ruth Allen 822323

Personal Thoughts We have had a good demonstration during August as to just how variable the British weather can be. On Thursday 12th August Gavin Mellerish in Benton St recorded 14mm of rain in 6 minutes during an intense storm. The storm included a lot of hail and caused local floods, but at Kersey where Kate Banks lives who normally provides me with weather data, they only had a shower. I am a sucker for gardening books. Recently I stumbled across a second hand copy of "How to grow Giant Vegetables" published in 1995. Many years ago when the Hadleigh Club was heavily into running shows we used to stage the Radio Orwell Heaviest Onion Championship and this was usually won with an onion weight around 7 lbs. These looked enormous. I was therefore slightly surprised to find in the book a photograph of a 12 lb 4 oz onion. I am not into giant onions, but I do grow a couple of the larger varieties of tomato, not because I am after records, but because I like the flavour. So far I have had several tomatoes over 1lb in weight, but looking at the book I find that an American has had a tomato weighing 7 lb 12 oz. It is good to see my grass recovering from it brown state. This year I really did wonder whether or not it would recover, but my front grass is now looking quite presentable. As it recovers it is important not to cut it too short. The idea is to take the tops of the leaves off to persuade it to produce more new leaves. Weather Records In July we had 44 mm ( 1.7 " ) of rain. This was better than the previous month and nearly up to our normal average rainfall. The rolling 3 month figure was 94.7 mm ( 3.7 " ) which is about 2/3 of the average value. We have had a lot of rain so far in August, so next month I expect to be reporting that we are back to average rainfall. The maximum temperature in July was 30 Cel ( 86 F ) and the minimum was 11 Cel ( 52 F ). These are quite typical maximum and minimum temperatures for July. In mid August the ground temperature is 15 Cel ( 63 F ) which is typical for this month Hints In September it is time to enjoy the last of our Summer. Temperatures start to drop, and unless we have been very good at looking after them our annuals will be well past their best. Nice days provide a good chance to tidy up before the Winter Does your garden still have plants to keep it interesting in September. Dahlias and Geraniums (pelargoniums) will keep up their colourful display until frosts occur. Often around here that is not until early November. Other useful plants for this period of the year are the various Michaelmas Daisies, the hardy chrysanthemums, anemone japonica and the Sedums like the variety "Autumn Joy". Have a look and see if there are places where you could use some of these plants to improve your September garden next year. There are also some bulbs which flower at this time including some varieties of cyclamen, and the Autumn Crocus (Colchicum). Some of the later will flower happily indoors without even planting them in soil. Planted in the garden they will last for years, but need to be planted where the foliage in Spring will not be a nuisance. September is the time at which bulbs appear in garden centres, and there are a marvellous range available nowadays to brighten our houses and gardens. The range of colours and flower shapes in daffodils seems to be increasing all the time, and I plan to add a few new varieties to my collection this year. John Rye

A town council has launched ambitious plans to expand a popular farmer’s market to allow more local traders to showcase their products and goods. For the past six years the farmer’s market held in St Peter’s Church has been extremely popular, but the town council has spotted the potential to significantly expand the monthly event. Currently produce such as meats, fruit and vegetables are on offer from around 15 exhibitors at each event. Now a whole host of other traders, craftsman, artists and even those with interesting hobbies are being invited to join the market. The only stipulation is exhibitors must be from the local area and whatever products they display must be either produced or made locally. Town Clerk Sue Brotherwood said: “The farmer’s market has always been very popular, but we feel we have a fantastic opportunity here to make it even better. We want more people to come along and display their goods. We looking for craftsman, furniture makers, people who make jam or cakes, local artists or absolutely anything which is made locally. The reason we want to do this is to showcase the wide range of talents and fantastic products which are available in and around Sudbury and to draw more people to the town. Each event already attracts around three hundred people and we think the figure would grow significantly if more people participate.” The market is held on the last Friday of every month and pitches are priced at £20 a time.

Dear Sir I saw my town, Hadleigh, through the eyes of two relations from London, their delight when they saw the historic buildings, the shops all with their hanging baskets etc. They visited the Pet shop, Partridges and others and they were amazed there was nothing to compare with our town where they lived. We visited the river walk, saw the small holding with all the ducks by Toppesfield Bridge, the Church and the Guildhall. They were shocked when I said Tescos wanted to build a store by the river, in their view Hadleigh was a lovely town which they found enchanting, so why spoil it and make it like all the others Janet Bayliss

Dear Sir The article on the front page of the August edition of HCN regarding ‘Hands Off Hadleigh’ protest rally was a revelation. The author blatantly declares, with obvious delight, that there were several outsiders in the crowd, obviously included to inflate the size of the crowd to give a false impression of the strength of their protest. Our supermarket is a local matter for Hadleigh and District, not for outsiders. How many others among the alleged 400 were also outsiders? The anti-Tesco petitions raised at the Hadleigh Show over many years contain names and addresses from all over East Anglia and provide an ideal calling card when gathering together a protest rally. Was this used to draw people into Hadleigh? It would certainly explain the many comments over the years from residents regarding the number of strangers on parades who are not recognised as Hadleigh residents. Another point is the number of children on parade, unaware that they are being used against the interests of Hadleigh for a ‘jolly good day out’ to sing songs, wave banners and swell the numbers. Or is it more serious? Are they being used to try to deceive our District Councillors on the Planning Committee into thinking there are more protestors than there actually are in order to influence their decision over the Tesco application, playing the numbers game? One positive result to come from the rally was the aerial photograph showing the derelict Brett Works site, close to the town centre and to the High Street shops, an ideal site for a supermarket to attract more trade and boost the vitality of the town. Hadleigh people are just as deserving of a supermarket as people in other towns and we sincerely hope that our District Councillors will recognise this and give approval to the Tesco application before them, preferably before they give approval to a fourth supermarket for Sudbury, currently under consideration. R. H. H. Smith, Tesco Supporters Group

Dear Sir I’ve been parking in Magdalen Road car park for years now, in the long stay part, unfortunately on Monday 22nd August between 5.30am and 11.00am there was a hit and run on my car. I know the car that hit me was white as the paint was left on my Peugeot as it stands out on the orange paint of my car. I’m just writing and praying for any witnesses with any information to please come forward and contact the Hadleigh Police for me. Thank you. Postie Michelle

Dear Sir As I see it, and others, the Tesco Saga goes on and on. “Hands Off Hadleigh Tesco' Group” are on the verge of paranoia or to put it bluntly Chronic Insanity. It appears that any story to fuel their cause, seems to throw up all manner of sad absurd stories, into brainwashing us to believing that we don't need another food outlet, which Tesco's will provide. The Hadleigh Iron Bridge was in contention, now being classed as a Grade II listed building, this bridge under the Instruction of Suffolk County Council was built by Tilbury Construction Ltd, and opened to two way traffic on April 22nd 1988. A complete new build, how old does a building have to be, to get grade listings. What are the limits to how low a flying machine can fly, over a built up area, to take pictures, with high quality, as featured in August edition of the HCN? I have read many times in this magazine the people who have moved to 46

this town because of its tranquillity, I am afraid you have come to the wrong place, this is a nice town, I have been here off and on over 70 years, apart from travelling with my father who was in the forces, and me doing 9 years in the Marines, I have been back 44 years. This town is moving forward, its going places, the 21st Century to be exact, If you don't like, how about a move to Lavenham, Clare, Cavendish, if you can afford it, these places are tranquil, and would be at your pace. We do need another food outlet, if its not to be the Brett Works Site, how about the piece of land between the New Fire Station and the By-Pass an Ideal spot for our Tesco store, The build could be of the size planned for the Brett Work Site, then we all should be happy. Babergh DC could then purchase the Brett Work Site from Tesco, and develop a leisure garden!!! John Caley

Dear Sir I have been swimming in Hadleigh Pool for more than 20 years, and I am devastated that the Health Suite has been taken away. Despite the recent comments made on Radio Suffolk by a Babergh employee that “people only use them to chat” is not only incorrect, but inconsiderate. Leisure facilities are provided to help people relax and unwind from their every day stresses, so in using these facilities we can socialize whilst maintaining a healthy body. I should also wish you to bear in mind that it was the people of Hadleigh who worked hard to raise funds to build these facilities in the first instance, and should therefore be entitled to have consideration in this matter. I do sincerely hope and pray that the Health Suite facilities be reinstated after completion of the alterations. What do other uses of this facility feel about the removal of the Health Suite? I now understand the area is to be used as storage and is looking less likely to be re-designated. Joan Meredith

Dear Sir I must take issue with Howard Gibbons' dismissal of my favourite cruise ship, Discovery, as "showing its age". A floating Gin Palace it is not, but that at least spares us the drunken lager louts. The bars, food, service, talks and entertainment are admirable, as can be borne out by the 40% -80% of passengers that are repeat bookings. This is a small ship, 630 passengers, with an enormous amount to offer. Valerie & I hope to make our fifth cruise on her next year. Mike Woodman

Dear Sir Although no longer a resident of Hadleigh proper, having moved down the road to Layham after 20 years in Benton Street, it is still my stomping ground, and old habits die hard, I find. One of my favourite places to go and walk my bouncy dog is still the river walk, where I relish the peace and beauty of the river and meet the occasional fox or swan. As I was walking there this morning, I decided that the Tesco debate is really easy to reduce to a list of pros and cons. So – here goes, and see if you agree! Cons: - Increased traffic with related pollution and noise (including light and noise pollution from HGV refrigerated vehicles having to make nighttime deliveries to the store) - ‘one-stop’ shopping would lead to less, not more, choice of what to buy in Hadleigh due to the big boy steadily driving the little independent shops under. What we will have eventually is what has happened elsewhere in similar conditions: a high street that, if not dead, is soulless and bland. - This in turn would lead to local job losses from shop closures – meaning that all promises of ‘extra’ job opportunities from Tesco practically boils down to swapping a job in the unique environment of a small shop for one in a much larger, anonymous-feeling, one. - As for encouraging visitors to Tesco’s to leave their weekly shop melting in their car boot while they spend more time and money wandering up and down Hadleigh High Street (a big part of the Tesco’s blurb if you remember)….when was the last time YOU did that after your weekly shop? Really?!! - The wilderness, albeit semi-tamed, of the river walk environment, with its varied wildlife and feeling of total ‘away from it all’ tranquillity and beauty, all of this, or at least a large part of it around the Tesco’s proposed riverside site, will vanish. And when it’s gone, it’s gone. What swan or duck or other river dweller will ever benefit from the unavoidable “let’s chuck some trolleys in the river” lark that is bound to appeal to some idiots on a regular basis, not to mention the loose plastic bags and general ‘stuff’ that is going to clog up their home? And please don’t think that it won’t be like that – because these things happen. Pros: - One more supermarket to drive to. Whooppee!!! C. Scott Fox, Layham

FIVE wood expert David Holmes clinched the Jonathan Lambert Centenary Silver Salver at the climax of the annual Newton Green Golf Club festival week. In an all-time high field of more than 90 competitors, Holmes shot 42 points off a handicap of 26, steering his way round the course with a five wood as his only weapon from the tees on the par fours and fives. He received his trophy, including a replica to Jonathan Lambert presenting the retain, from Jonathan Lambert trophy to David Holmes (right) when a record 140 guests attended the final night presentation barbecue at the club. Second place went to Tim Richardson, with 41 points, and third to Richard Jiggens 40. Leading junior and fifth overall was Lewis Woodhead, with 39, while Sally Cade’s 37 gave her the best ladies score. Paddy Lockwood, club captain, said the week had been a resounding success, despite rain impacting on some of the days. He continued: “This was the third and most successful festival we have run, with a record turn out in events from members. There were eight competitions over five days and the event has become a key feature of the club’s year. “For the cross country golf evening it teemed down with rain from start to finish, but everyone just turned up and had a go. It showed what a spirit there is in the club.”

Poets Corner I Think of You As surely as the waves crash onto the shore, I think of you Seasons change, years go by, I sigh, I still think of you. Your spirit is with me, I know and it comforts me. Some of our best times were spent chatting and laughing over a cup of tea. You had a great sense of humour and it still makes me smile. When I think of you Dad and I do all the while. You were loving, special, so kind and you cannot be replaced. My heart and my mind are imprinted with your smiling face. Now and forever, I think of you.

Hadleigh Goldstar Athletic Football Club (Sponsored by Taylor & Sons) After an eventful A.G.M. a number of changes have taken place. We welcome Melvin "Cat" Oxford, and David "Chubby" Willis into the club, whilst saying good bye to long time Secretary Keith Sheldrake. Our thanks go out to him for all his hard work and input over the last 16 years. The changing world in local football means we loose one player to an FA Contract which excludes him from Sunday League Football. Having gained the opportunity to play Premiership football, one or two players could not then make up their mind if they were committed to play or not so the decision was made to stay where we were. A Division 1 (intermediate) has been setup which turns out as strong as the Premiership, but that's our lot. We have had 10 new faces training regularly and they may yet prove to be good replacements for those who may have different ideas towards the club. This seasons campaign begins with a home game on September 5th against Wickham Market, followed by Man on the Moon away 19th, AFC United Home 26th, and Mendlesham Albion Home on 3rd October. We will be pleased to see all those who have followed us in the past, and hope we will continue to entertain.

Five years of support for the Brendan Oakes Trust by Hadleigh and District Angling Society On 24th July the Brendan Oakes Memorial fishing match took place at Bullocky Fenn with the kind permission and organisation of HADAS. This year’s event raised £796.00 which added to the sum of £480.00 which was raised at the Pond Field opening in May and brings this years total to £1276.00. Over the 5 years that HADAS has organised and hosted this match they have helped us to raise nearly four and a half thousand pounds to help teenagers with cancer, this years total for the match being the best yet. Each year we have been blessed with good weather and this year was no exception. Not quite as hot as previous year’s but nonetheless a very pleasant day. Tea, coffee and biscuits were served on the bank along with soft drinks to keep the anglers well refreshed. The winner of this year’s match was Mr Peter Banks. The event finished with the customary bar-b-que, raffle and auction of donated items. We would like to thank Mr Mark Snowling of Surefix Windows and Doors for his continued sponsorship of the match prize money. We were also helped this year by a number of local businesses who donated raffle or auction prizes. Our thanks go to: Academy Building Ltd, Eurospeed Tyres and Exhausts, Bird’s Fishing Tackle, Breakaway Tackle, Rose Bud Florists, Brett Valley Golf Club, Hintlesham Fishery, Suffolk Water Park and Chris Cutt Window Cleaners. Our apologies go to any other sponsors that we have forgotten. A special thank you to all those who supported the event by turning up with raffle prizes and for fishing the match on the day (some of the anglers also fished in another charity match on the following day). A number of guests from other local angling clubs also came along to swell the numbers this year and this was pleasing to see as it helps to spread the message of what we are trying to achieve to a larger audience. It is heartening to see that a local organisation is willing to support local and national charities by doing something that they enjoy. Throughout the 5 years that the Trust has been running many people have helped us to raise funds and we would like to think that everyone has done this with a smile on their face and that they have enjoyed the experience, whatever is was. You have all, through your commitment to us and the Brendan Oakes Trust, put many smiles on the faces of dozens of teenagers fighting cancer in the Anglia region. Mark and Valerie Oakes

Newton Green’s Latest Membership Initiative NEWTON Green Golf Club is to mark a year of recruitment with an open day aimed at consolidating its expanding membership. It has been in the vanguard of reviving a decade-long slide in membership which has affected golf clubs across the country. Newton now has a membership graph pointing firmly upwards, and been praised by the English Golf Union for thinking out of the box with innovative recruitment tactics and marketing. From 1 pm on Sunday, September 19, it holds an open day for new members, the third such venture in a year. The two previous events have added more than 40 people to its roll, and it has also recruited steadily between these special days. Captain Paddy Lockwood explained the tactics which have put the club on an upward trend: “We have undertaken a root and branch exercise to introduce policies which not only attract players of all standards, but also ensure we carry out good practices to ensure both new and existing members stay with us. “There are still things we need to achieve to reach where we eventually want to be as a club, with a five-year business plan being drawn up. However, already a lot of positive things are falling into place. “We have to operate on a professional basis, yet still retain the obvious benefit of being a members’ club, with a special friendly atmosphere that such a club can offer. “However, being a members’ club does not necessarily enshrine the right to be called friendly because, obviously, some such clubs are friendlier than others. “We look to treat our members as very valued customers because, in the present financial climate, that is the way to survive and progress.” He added: “We now have a range of membership packages that appear to have all bases covered when trying to meet the needs of any person interested in participating in the sport.” The open day will feature the chance of a free nine holes of golf for any visitor, along with introductory joining offers of £125 for three months, £255 for six months, plus a one-day, 10 per cent off pay and play Davey membership. There is also a special £120 deal for beginners incorporating lessons and experience on the course.

Hadleigh Cricket Club Hadleigh U15’s finished off their season with a very close encounter away to Copdock. The host’s batted first and in the first four over’s found scoring hard against some accurate bowling from Alex Davey and Karl Knock. Faulds and Rogers took the score to 18 before the latter was well caught off the bowling of Tim Keeble. Two more quick wickets fell and Copdock were struggling until Archie Wilkinson steadied the ship to enable his side to reach 128 and remain undefeated on 52. Hadleigh opened their reply with 12yr old Dominic Manthorpe and Max Planck, the pair reaching 19 before Planck was bowled, quickly followed by the loss of Young, Daniels and Crisp and at 40 for 4 Hadleigh were struggling. Knock joined Manthorpe at the wicket and the pair added a valuable 36 runs with Manthorpe punishing anything short of a length and driving elegantly through the covers, he had to mandatory retire on a well worked 50 not out. Knock went on to post his highest total of 15 before being caught. In the last over Hadleigh needed 16 to win both Davey and Ollie Lee-Smith tried hard falling just 7 runs short. Coach, Tim Warner was pleased with the sides progress this season and this performance against a strong Copdock side shows how far the side have come this year.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group The club’s Bicentenary cricket week in July was a huge success. Blessed with generally kind weather, four very good games were played in front of appreciative crowds including many old friends of the club. In the first match Ipswich and East Suffolk, one of Hadleigh’s earliest recorded opponents, Guest speaker Geoff Miller (centre) scored 252-5 declared, with with HCC officials at the club’s IES’s Rob Glassford the first Bicentenary dinner of the week’s three centurions. Hadleigh fell away after a good start and finished on 183, Gary Wiles making 64. The Wednesday saw the most prestigious fixture of the week, with Hadleigh taking on the MCC for the first time. The MCC side included two Hadleigh old boys, Ally Douglas and Olly Magnus, and both hit 50s as the MCC also declared on 253-4. But Michael Innes’s 89 helped Hadleigh to a famous victory with two overs to spare. Rain interrupted the next day’s game against the Suffolk Past Masters, but a 30-over contest was still possible in which the youthful Hadleigh side were put to the sword by 144 runs. To conclude the week a team of past players, captained by Matt Perry, were beaten by just one wicket. Richard Pettit scored a hundred for the current crop but perhaps the highlight was a stunning slip catch by 70-year-old Clive Claireaux off the bowling of his son Steve! After Friday’s match over 200 guests attended the club’s celebration dinner at Vauxhall Farm, Great Wenham. England Chairman of Selectors Geoff Miller entertained the audience with a superb speech and an auction raised over £2000 for club funds. However, the loudest cheer of the night was reserved for the arrival, all the way from Australia, of surprise guest Jordan Waugh, who spent three out of the last six seasons as our overseas player. Among the people the club must thank for helping the event go so well are Ivan Fenning, the owner of Vauxhall Farm, Chaplin Catering and Ray and Liz Parker who helped run the bar. We are also grateful for the support of the cricket week sponsors Morton Smith & Sands, and Grand Cru Consulting Ltd, who sponsored our polo shirts. This month the curtain comes down on our Sky Sports and Bicentenary season, but we go out with a bang with a televised Twenty20 tournament against the other featured clubs at Teddington CC, and our own match at the Nursery Ground, Lord’s, on September 11.

The first of the Great Open Swims The Great East Swim @ Alton Water Hadleigh Dolphins have continued to develop their interest and training in open water swimming, following their 2009 successes in the Great swims and Regional champs. The club sent 21 swimmers, many of them Master swimmers. The Great East swim is one of 4 open water events sponsored and run by British Gas all over the UK. The distance is 1 mile or 1600m. The 2nd event is in London, 3rd in The Lake District and finally the 4th in Scotland. All the venues offer different challenges for swimmers, including the weather and in Suffolk in Mid June many were expecting a fine sunny day, but in fact the opposite occurred. It was unseasonably cold, grey, windy with showers. Wet suits were strongly advised as the water temperature was 16 degrees., with a cooler air temperature. Hadleigh Dolphins were competing in the first wave of the morning at 09.30. (the waves swim off in 30 minute slots all say long) The first swimmers back in this wave were all dolphins. first was Kern Death, 2nd Tom ~Olive, third Truan Death and fourth was Nathan Garrity. Sixteen year old,Abi Malster was the first female home. Conditions were tough, even the experienced veterans said so, especially the finish which turned into blustery wind and very choppy conditions, causing drift. The finished was shortened and changed for subsequent waves. The Masters section of Hadleigh club was well represented with many "mature "swimmers competing in their first open water event ever. Roy Death, Jane Olive, Sue D'Souza, Sarah Mann, Bernadette White, Anita Malster and caron Garrity. The final results and placings are at the end of the article, but all agreed it was a great challenge and many have been inspired to continue their swimming and compete next year. Most swimmers were fund raising for the club to purchase an under water camera. Some swam for other charities. CONGRATULATIONS to all the competitors and a big THANKYOU for all the wonderful support we received from family and friends who attended in great numbers.

Hadleigh United F.C. Youth Under 12’s Hadleigh United under 12’s began their pre-season training on 18th August 2010. Although the boys have enjoyed a few weeks break over the summer they were itching to get back into training ready for the start of the season. With a few friendlies lined up the boys were keen to get going and worked hard. (Pictured - the boys listen intently to Manager Gavin Peters team talk). The season begins on 11th September with Hadleigh United at home V Chantry Grasshoppers and Hadleigh United Brettsiders at home V Kesgrave Kestrels. We look forward to seeing you there.

The week of August 9th to the 13th was a hectic time for youngsters at Hadleigh Rugby Club where their first Summer School of Rugby was held. 30 boys from around the Hadleigh area and from local clubs , Sudbury, Ipswich, Colchester and Brightlingsea came together at Layham Road to enjoy a week of coaching and fun rugby activities, led by New Zealand coaches from the Socious Sports Group. The boys attended from 9.30 am until 3.30pm in many rugby related activities and even the atrocious weather could not dampen their enthusiasm and enjoyment. During the week they learned how to perform the Kiwi Haka, which they manfully performed before the parents on the final afternoon. The highlight of the week was however the Charity Game, organized by Clare and Richard Wiltshire, in aid of Help for Heroes, on the evening of Friday 13th August. Two teams , The Reds and The Blues, contained past and present military members who came together to honour and respect those Heroes who have given their limbs and lives for their country. Although the weather was foul the occasion was a memorable one. It was carried out with full military precision and very well supported by a drenched but dedicated crowd of over 200 people. The teams and mascots were led out on to the pitch by lone piper, Rod Caird. At the centre both teams lined up facing the crowd to sing “Amazing Grace” The words of dedication were written and read by the reverend Canon John Young, Padre and Canon of York Minster Emeritus. This was followed by a rendition of “The Last Post “ and a minute’s silence was observed. The two teams also then received the Haka from the Youth players and the game began. Among the players on parade was the Hon Dr. Dan Poulter MP who also made the draw for the raffle later in the clubhouse. The eventual winner on the night was The Reds Team, who were later presented with the Help for Heroes Trophy by Mrs Jan Byrne, Mayor of Hadleigh. The evening was a great success and was an occasion of which the rugby club and the town of Hadleigh can be proud, in receiving and honouring the Heroes of our Armed Forces.

Congratulations to all our members who played and also the supporters when we visited our friends on those lovely summer evenings travelling across our Suffolk country side to take part in the Summer League. We had some very good and exciting matches and it was nail biting to the very end waiting for Polstead to play their last game requiring 10points whch could have put us into second place. Unfortunately for them they only managed to obtain 6points on this very last game which secured our place once again as the winners of Group A., so we will now be going once again to the grand finals at Needham Market and perhaps this year our club captain Chris will collect the winners cup, who knows ? It is incredible how quickly the time has pased since our first match in May but they have been good times and hopefully enjoyed by one and all, soon we will be playing in the Winter League, not always on the best of nights to venture out but well worth it when we arrive at our various destinations and enjoy the company of other and of course the welcome refresments.

European Challenge Tour at Stoke by Nayland – pro am celebrities, free golf clinics, and an exciting finish The European Challenge staged its first event in England for two years when the inaugural English Challenge took place from 22nd to 25th July at Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa. This was the most important golfing event in England this year in terms of a platform for sports development for talented Jamie Moul interviewed by Tom elite golfers to enter the top Williams, BBC Look East professional European Tour. Former Challenge Tour players include Ian Poulter, Paul Casey, Justin Rose and Ollie Fisher. Competitors at the Stoke by Nayland English Challenge included European tour player Andrew Coltart, fresh from the Open, renowned amateur, Gary Wolstenholme and Stoke by Nayland’s own touring professional, Jamie Moul. However it was Australian Daniel Gaunt who took advantage of a final hole bogey by amateur sensation Tommy Fleetwood to secure his maiden Challenge Tour title at this inaugural English Challenge. Gaunt, who only got into the €150,000 event through his position at the top of the EuroPro Tour Order of Merit, benefited from Fleetwood’s costly slip-up to take the title by one stroke. The reward for the man from Melbourne was a cheque for €24,000 and a one-year exemption on the Challenge Tour. The English Golf Union was closely involved in this event and, together with Roly Hitchcock and the other excellent teaching Professionals at Stoke by Nayland, organised FREE golf clinics for all ages from beginners upwards at their covered driving range on all 4 days of the Championship. There was also a special coaching showcase for disabled golfers, using specialised equipment. Both BBC Look East and Anglia TV News covered the event on the first day and the whole event was televised in a one hour highlights programme on Sky Sports and worldwide. The English Challenge was co-funded by international management company Hambric Sports International, and Texan Rocky Hambric was one of the guests invited to join the celebrity discussion panel hosted by DJ Spoony after the Pro Am dinner. (See photo) Over 200 Pro am competitors and guests – including BBC Look East presenter, Stuart White - were entertained by the lively Q & A session in the Devora Suite.

Hadleigh Utd U8’s Football Club Hadleigh U8’s enjoyed their first friendly home match on 17th July against AFC Kesgrave. A great performance was put in by all the boys and Ben and Darren are very pleased with the progress they have made. They have had a busy summer with training sessions on Saturday mornings and further friendly’s have been arranged against Witnesham, Needham and Woodbridge in August and September, prior to the ‘Orwell League’ fixtures beginning on 11th September. Thanks to everyone who attended the Family Fun Night on 6th August. It was a great night and was well supported by friends and family of the boys. A special mention to Scott and Kat for arranging and running this excellent fund raising event, it is much appreciated.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd. www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United opened their league campaign at home to Norwich United. The visitors soon gained control and three early goals gave them a comfortable lead. There was no further scoring so Norwich won by three goals to nil to send Hadleigh crashing to an heavy defeat. Young Luke Read had a good shot well saved as Hadleigh tried hard to get a consolation goal. Manager Stuart Crawford had used nine new players in his squad against a strong side from Norwich United. The next match against Clacton ended in a draw at the Millfield with both teams scoring once. Clacton scored early on but Hadleigh then had more of the play. Good goalkeeping kept Hadleigh at bay until Mark Powling headed the equaliser in the second half. The display was much better than the previous match. We travelled to Haverhill in the opening round of the FA Cup with confidence but an early goal from a free kick gave Haverhill the lead. They scored a second goal from a penalty kick in windy conditions and we were two goals behind at half time. In the second half a free kick from Brett Girling set up a goal for Mark Powling but the end came in Haverhils favour by two goals to one and Hadleigh were out of the FA Cup.

But the clubs chosen charity Diabetes UK were the real winners as they were donated profits from the game which was witnessed by a good size crowd. The match was goalless for much of the time but Hadleigh eventually scored in the second half with Duane Wright netting with a header. Minutes earlier Team Bury hit the crossbar and Hadleigh made the most of this escape. A second goal was headed in by Simon Hyde as Stuard Crawford’s team took control in the closing stages. The scoring was completed by Luke Read with a great shot in the last minute. The trophy was presented to the winning team by Hadleigh president Terry Adams. Brettsider

Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club Celebrating 25 years of Road Running, Athletics, Cycling & Triathlon NEW YOUTH SECTION – 16 to 25 yr olds (ALL ABILITIES) Are you looking to get fitter, meet like minded people & have some fun? Then read on! Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club is running a dedicated youth section on Tuesday evenings. Whether you are a beginner or wish to compete at any level, these sessions are for you. Within each session there is an element of FUN such as orienteering and rounder’s, FITNESS with strength conditioning training or circuits, and ATHLETICS with coaching in all aspects of throwing, jumping and running. The Youth Section meets at Hadleigh Leisure Centre every Tuesday at 7pm. (There is a charge of £2 per session) Come & it give it try! HARWICK 5K SERIES The fun but gruelling Harwich 5k series ended on July 22nd after five races. Congratulations to Dan who set a fantastic time in his first ever 5k, to Rachel & Becky who posted PB’s, Mike who set his best time this year and to Carol, who, whilst not setting a PB, improved on her last race & shows all the signs of getting back to full fitness: Our juniors at Harwich were represented by Kieran & Alana Bleasby who ran a one mile handicap race. Following Kieran’s success in the 4th of the five races on July 1st where he ran 5.30 (finishing second overall ) he improved his time in the 5th race by clocking 5.23 & again finishing second! Alana also ran in the 4th of the series and finished 8th in the handicap. Well done everyone and keep the training up & see you next year for more speedy Hares! TRIATHLON – Harwich Sprint On the 26th June, 4 Hadleigh Hares completed the Harwich sprint triathlon; the course consisted of a 300m swim, a 24km bike ride with some challenging hills and a 5k run. Harwich was the first triathlon for our seasoned runner Carol Nokes who has switched to the multi event after injury prevents her from running long distance. Well done to you all. TRIATHLON - Culford Sprint and Youth Triathlon The Hadleigh Hares were out in force early 25th July competing in the Culford Sprint and Youth Triathlon. The event was held in the magnificent grounds of Culford School, nestling in the idyllic leafy green countryside bordering Bury St Edmunds. The event comprised a 300m pool swim in the school pool, a 3-lap 21km bike ride around flat, local country lanes and a fast, flat 4km run around the delightful school gardens. Nine of the 180 competitors were Hares - Steve Bowen, Jonas Grist, Neil Crisp, Doug Grimwade, Martin Alabone, Richard Hanley, Zoe Griffiths, Carol Nokes and Pam Woodmore. Whilst the male Hares had experienced the delights of Culford in previous races and were eager to renew their rivalry, this was the first time for the ladies and was Zoe's first ever triathlon. The weather was overcast but dry and pleasantly warm with little wind - excellent conditions for a fast race. The Hares excelled and brought home three age group medals. Hanley's excellent season continued and he took revenge on Grimwade's 3-second win in 2009 by comfortably beating

him and being the first Hare home in 14th place overall in a time of 56:40. Grimwade won the 45-49 age group and finished 2nd Hare home in 17th place overall in a time of 57:57. Grimwade was followed by an ever improving Crisp whose 200m sprint to the line saw him finish in 31st place, and more importantly, sneak under the magic 1 hour barrier by just one second. Alabone, aiming for a sub 59-minute time this year, was disappointed to pull a hamstring on the final lap of the run and watched his dream time evaporate as he limped across the line in 34th place in a time of 1:00:23. Bowen showed that age has not withered his abilities with a very impressive performance that won him the 55-59 age group. Grist showed that despite a slight lack of training this year he can still perform well and knocked 3-minutes off last year's time. The novice lady Hares all performed excellently with Woodmore finishing in a time of 1:21:40 in only her 3rd triathlon and Nokes in a time of 1:25:09 in only her second triathlon, but the plaudits go to Griffiths who, in her first ever triathlon, won the 17-18 age group in an overall time of 1:18:48. Many congratulations. IRONMAN UK Nick Salway became the latest member of Hadleigh Hares to join the Ironman family after completing Ironman UK in Bolton on Sunday 1st August & in the process raising £1200 for charity. Ironman UK is a tough course that challenges the best of athletes, and you need to have serious resources to be able to handle the punishment dished out by a cold swim, a hilly and in some places windswept bike course and then a cruel run course that starts with 3 miles of near cross-country. Race day started cloudy and cool but as the day went on it warmed up and in the early afternoon the sun broke through to provide the spectators and athletes with a glorious finish. The race began at 6am with a 2.4 mile 2-lap swim in the Pennington Flash - a small lake nestling in the 500 acre Pennington Flash Country Park. Approximately 1400 competitors began the race with a deep water swim start. Nick fought through the crowds of swimmers and exited the water unscathed in 874th place in a respectable time of 1:23:27. A fast 8 minute transition in T1 saw Nick onto his strongest discipline - the bike. The 112 mile bike route wound through the outskirts of Bolton to the outlying hills where the athletes completed 3 laps of a 34 mile loop, each loop including the fearsome 2 mile climb (602 feet of ascent) up Sheep House Lane. Nick paced the bike beautifully, made up many places and completed it in an excellent time of 6:14:19 - 143rd on the bike and now in 255th place overall in the race. Another quick T2 transition (6:49) and Nick was out onto the marathon. The run route was devised by a sadist. The route began with a cruelly steep 1.5 mile off-road climb (used by local fell runners for races) before taking the runners through the outskirts of Bolton to within 30 metres of the finish line. Within sight of the finish the runners were looped round and headed back out of Bolton for another 16 miles of running before returning, exhausted, back to the finish. Nick started the run at a fast pace, before dropping to a more sustainable pace around the 5 mile mark. Cramping kicked in around 15 miles and Nick, refusing to walk, dug deep to continue running and hit his target of a sub-13 hour finish. With a respectable marathon time of 4:46:17, a jubilant Nick crossed the finish line in 445th place overall in a total time of 12:38:54 - well within his target time. Hadleigh Hares salute you! COME AND JOIN US – EVERYONE WELCOME!
