We are such stuff as dreams are made on… Join us on a mysterious isle where an opportunity arises for an exiled ruler to try and regain power. Prospero has been unjustly deprived of his Dukedom and those responsible are on board a ship foundering in a storm – a tempest which he has conjured for the purpose of bringing them to the island. Once ashore, lost family members are sought, love struggles against adversity and murderous plots are hatched. Prospero seeks to regain his Dukedom – but would he, in turn, free those who do his bidding, the original inhabitants of the island?

Pink Ladies' Tractor Run brightens Norfolk and Suffolk we've had lovely weather and each year the run has got more and more pink. The people taking part are from all walks of life and all ages, all on different makes and models of tractors. Everyone knows someone who has had cancer and the support means so much because all we can do is raise money to help with research. What else can we do." This year, 29 ladies new to the run took part including Ebony Ayton who was taking part with her mum, Joanne Grimmer and grandmother, Pam Grimmer. Ebony said: "To start off with it was really scary but once I got going it was really lovely. There's lots of people cheering all the way round, even on the back roads. It does make it feel nice, it's so sweet when you see people cheering and whistling." Ebony's mum Joanne Grimmer who lives in Great Moulton, was taking part in her 17th Pink Ladies' Tractor Run. As well as joining in with the event she fundraises throughout the year, she said: "It's been amazing as always and Ebony has done brilliantly. The event is still so unique even after all this time and people want to support it." Pam Grimmer has taken part in every run since it started, she said: "I've been into tractors for a long time and Annie rang me up one day and said "I've had an idea.
What do you think about doing aladies tractor run?" I said: "Yeah, if you can get enough ladies!" and it's grown from there. "The people in Harleston were great. People decorate their gardens and in one a banner said, 'I beat breast cancer." Joanne Grimmer said: "It's good to have that reminder as you drive round because you remember why you are doing the run. The reason behind our motivation is that cancer is relentless, and everyone is affected by it. We've lost ladies who have done the run previously and this is why we can't stop raising awareness and money for Cancer Research UK's breast cancer appeal."
Annie Chapman said: "As with any event of this size, it cannot be achieved without the support of many people. I'd like to thank everyone involved, all the drivers, all the people who lent tractors, the land-owners, the many marshals, collecting ladies and anyone else who helps to make this event happen, it's a large team effort!" The monies raised from this year's event will be announced in September. To donate online, please visit: fundraise. cancerresearchuk.org/unite/pinkladies-tractor-road-run-2022.

The iconic Pink Ladies' Tractor Road Run returned in style as a convoy of 112 decorated tractors wound their way through south Norfolk and north Suffolk. The event (which is now in its eighteenth year) is edging ever closer to raising £1m in aid of Cancer Research UK's breast cancer appeal. Crowds packed the route while family and friends joined the ladies at a picnic lunch in the sunshine at Gawdy Hall meadow. People were cheering along the route in towns, villages, laybys and gardens. Houses and businesses were bedecked in pink bunting, banners, flags and many supporters were dressed in headto-toe pink. Organised by Annie Chapman BEM, the annual run started at Thorpe Abbotts Airfield before passing through Brockdish, Upper Weybread, Harleston, Pulham St. Mary, Rushall and Langmere Green. Annie was driving one of the oldest tractors on the run (a 1950 David Brown Cropmaster) which had recently been repainted. She said: "Harleston was incredible, it really choked me up driving through the town. It was packed and it was just wonderful to see, people are incredibly supportive, it's been very emotional. It's not been an easy run this year, but

reflection of where we are at as a school. I work with a brilliant team, and we all share the same passion for the children's education and wellbeing. It is why we are overjoyed to have also received the prestigious Wellbeing Award for Schools. It is an exciting time to be part of Beccles Primary Academy!"

since 4.0C on 10/06/2013 and a frosty 1.4C on 04/06/2012. High pressure did build after the cool and unsettled first week of June being the catalyst for a partial drought which produced only one rain day in sixteen during period 9th to 24th. Furthermore, after the 8th to end of month consistent mainly pleasant daytime warmth of 20C or more was achieved on all but five days which themselves only narrowly missed that level. The memorable very warmest day recorded, 32.4C on the 17th was the second-best June recording on my entire record (only 33.0C on 07/06/1996 exceeded this and also the warmest day of any since 33.5C on 07/08/2020). The maximum warmth of the day was notable because of its duration, from early afternoon which had only marginally cooled to 30C by 8pm. It was a culmination of moderated hot air imported from
Spain and the South of France where extraordinary temps of around 43C had been noted this early in the season. Our maximum was nearly 7C higher than the next warmest day (25.6C on the 16th) and 12.6C higher than the following day when the cold front which cleared the hot air had passed through. The cooler air also produced the second highest daily rainfall total of the month (0.40") with thundery activity. Combined with the rain recorded on six of the first eight days (0.68") and the accumulation of 0.70" during the last two days the majority of the 1.93" month's total had been recorded over a total of 11 rain days. This amount was again lower than long-term average, the fifth month out of six this year (only February has been wetter than average). This was also the driest June since 2018 and brought an end to a run of three successive wetter-than-average June totals.

Planning your Wedding
After two years of uncertainty, weddings are back on and lovedup couples who have faced delays and postponements to their plans can now look forward to finally planning their big day! Here we aim to offer a bit of advice and help for things to look at and consider when planning and organising a wedding. Choosing the perfect venue is surely at the top of any newly engaged couple’s list and the decision as to where to hold your wedding can be quite a daunting one. It is very easy to get over excited and fall in love with the a venue when you go there for the first time. It is important to be sure of your exact requirements and consider various options
before committing. Here are some useful tips to consider before choosing your wedding venue. Put together a list of venues with a few options to visit and try to include some different types of venues, hotels, country manors etc as they all offer something a little bit different. • Estimate the number of guests and work out your budget. It is important to have an idea on the number of guests you are thinking of inviting. If you are planning on inviting evening guests, then consideration needs to be given on how many people the venue can cater for both during the wedding event itself and also in the evening. You
will need to know roughly how when it is due and also if it at, various times of the day. many people you plan to invite is refundable. It is also worth Venues can look different at and how much you can spend checking if there any discounts different times. It is worth available or special packages visiting during the day and before you start to draw up on offer. then again after dark. your list of potential venues. • Find out if the layout fits • Be sure to check out what • Talk to as many people as you can who are associated extra costs there are.

A few points worth considering when choosing your wedding venue: • How many guests can the venue hold? For the actual wedding ceremony and also additional evening guests. • Is it possible to hold both your ceremony and reception at the venue? • Will there be onsite accommodation for your guests. If not, how close are the nearest accommodation options? • Pricing: What’s the price per head? Is there a minimum spend? Are there any set packages or discounts on offer? • Is the catering in-house? You might want to sample a meal at
the venue before making your commitment. • How easy is it to get to the venue for your guests? Is there sufficient parking. • Does the venue offer great photo opportunities? • What are your decor options? • What extras are charged for? • What is the protocol for letting your outside suppliers in and out on the day of the wedding? • How flexible is the venue? For example, are there any restrictions in terms of what you can bring in and use (this is a good question if you have something specific in mind) Of course, the most important thing is that this is your day – do things the way you want to do them and most of all enjoy it!

Halesworth Town Juniors F.C end of season
Neil Ketteringham has been appointed as the new Headteacher at SET Beccles School.
SET Beccles School welcomes new headteacher with huge progress and growth, becoming the 'most improved school in East Anglia' in 2016. Neil Ketteringham said: "I'm proud to be joining SET Beccles as Headteacher next term and I look forward to getting involved in all aspects of school life. As a local resident myself, I have seen SET Beccles grow and I admire their ethos for inspiring and nurturing every individual student. "I am passionate about the school's community spirit, and I will look to establish new relations and reaffirm SET Beccles as a top choice, where students leave our school with the best education alongside confidence and experiences that will guide them through further education and beyond."
Mark Barrow (CEO, Seckford Education Trust) said: "We are delighted to appoint Neil Ketteringham as the new Headteacher at SET Beccles, he has a firm knowledge of the local area and an impressive background in supporting schools to reach their full potential. We believe his experience and passion will be a great asset to the Trust." SET Beccles, on Castle Hill, provides secondary education for students aged 11-16 in the Beccles and Bungay area. It is one of five schools in the Seckford Education Trust and was one of the first Trust schools to open in 2012, alongside SET Saxmundham and SET Ixworth.

referees and anyone who feels that they could offer their help would be greatly appreciated. We can put you through a referee course and pay you for each match. If you are interested, please contact Claire on 07935109049. We have continually been fighting for green space again this season, we have had meetings with East Suffolk Council, and have built relationships with the FA and HCSL to try and preserve and make use of as much of the green space available in Halesworth that we can. During this season we have worked alongside the senior club and have valued their support at meetings, and we hope to continue to build this relationship, working alongside one another. We are continually working on pitch space and will carry on doing so to secure the future of the junior club. Without volunteers giving up many hours of time and dedicating themselves to their roles we would not have such a thriving Junior football club. Thank you to each and every manager and coach for their dedication and commitment to the children and the club. Our committee condensed down to nine members last season, and this has worked well, each and every one playing an important role in keeping the club as successful and well respected as it has become, Thank you all for all of your efforts. Kathryn Bullen has once again continued her hard work and dedication to the club, not only her work as secretary but all the other tasks that are undertaken and going above and beyond to keep the Junior club running smoothly.
Thank you to Mark Coby for all his advice and guidance on maintaining the pitches and equipment and Andy Hadingham for trimming back the hedges at Westhall. Many Thanks to David Harvey for cutting the Westhall playing fields and Trevor Chenery who dedicates hours of his time cutting the pitches, marking them out and always ensuring all pitches are the best they can be. We also had some great sponsorship come in end of last season and we continue to be grateful to Broadway Colours, Halesworth Golf Club, DB Renovations, Hetty’s Little Copy Shop, SJ Geomatics and Gowing Engineering for their continued support. We also had a brand-new storage shed donated and erected by Redz of Beccles. Thank you to all. We have a thriving club and this is down to everyone working together, managers, coaches, committee members, players and parents. Thank you all. To round off the season we had a great presentation weekend with a BBQ and disco for the U10s and U11s on Saturday night and an afternoon of fun with BBQ and summer games for the U7s and U9s on Sunday. It was fantastic being able to all get together for presentations again and everyone had a great time. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. We now look forward to a relaxing few weeks of summer before we all start again next season for what we hope to be another thoroughly enjoyable season. Grassroots is where it all begins.

Woodbridge Cruising Club
Armed Forces Day Aldous and Mr. Brian Hunter, the Chairman of the newly revived RAFA Branch at Lowestoft who joined us for the day. The event for all parties was a great success. We would wish to thank all those members of the public and visitors to Lowestoft for their kindness and generosity. President Brian Vousden, RAFA Beccles and Southwold. Further information on RAFA is available on: www.rafabecclesandsouthwold. wordpress.com.
The cruise to Walton Backwaters is a perennial favourite for Woodbridge Cruising Club members. Thanks go to Graham and Julia Bryant for organising this cruise, which had twelve boats sailing in company. SADs (safe arrival drinks) were held on the first night in Titmarsh Marina, followed by a Safari Supper, where members enjoyed meals on different boats. The next day was fine and sunny, and some members enjoyed a fascinating wildlife tour around the Backwaters, this was followed by the club barbecue and music. Friday saw members enjoying Viking Kubb game and a meal in the Harbour Lights restaurant. Cruising in company, and the social activities is one of the best reasons for joining Woodbridge Cruising Club. The sailing season is now underway, with the well planned summer cruise programme with voyages to new harbours and well-loved favourite destinations. Members are looking forward
to future cruises, with voyages to Lowestoft and Southwold, Ramsgate and Europe and more. Weekends at the club bar, sitting outside with wonderful views of the river are a welcome break, and the Wednesday BBQs are always popular. Why not join the cruising club. The club website: www. woodbridgecruisingclub.org has full details and new members are welcome, whether you own a motorboat or yacht, or are keen to start sailing.
Citizens Advice East Suffolk was launched on 1st April 2022, following the merger of Citizens Advice Leiston, Saxmundham & District, Felixstowe & District and North East Suffolk. The discussions about the merger had been ongoing over the past couple of years to review efficiencies of the organisation and the services available to the public. The main benefit of the merger is the ability of Citizens Advice East Suffolk to extend its services and provide a more comprehensive and accessible service.
Chiara Saunders' appointment as Chief Officer of the new organisation was confirmed this week. Chiara joined Citizens Advice as a Volunteer Advisor prior to being appointed Chief Officer of Citizens Advice Leiston & Saxmundham on 1st March 2019. Before that, Chiara had worked in the commercial and investment banking sector, following which she pursued a career in education as a teacher and school librarian. Chiara said: "I look forward to the challenge of developing and future proofing Citizens Advice

On Saturday, 25th June, the Beccles Branch of the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) attended at Royal Green, Lowestoft and accepted donations from the Public for "Wings Appeal", the conduit whereby local RAFA Branches collect monies for our Armed Forces Charity to help provide support for serving and veteran RAF personnel and their families who may be in difficult circumstances. This year on the day, we were delighted to also be joined by our MP for Waveney, Mr. Peter
defeated by Gorleston in a close, hard-fought match. Reaching the semi-finals was a great achievement for both teams. Well done for all your efforts. Paul Bullens U10s reached the final of the Trophy Cup and played at the nest, everyone was proud of their amazing attitude and the way they battled to the end and accepted defeat graciously. They should all be very proud of themselves as we were supporting them. Well done Paul Bullen and Trevor Chenery for getting them there. Justin Hatcher has taken on managing the U11 Tigers along with Donna Brinded and Darren Goodson and were awarded with the Respect award at a presentation held at The Ocean rooms, Gorleston. This is a fantastic achievement, as attitude of the players has been recognised and is also of paramount importance. We wish both U11s teams every success as they now turn to U12s and venture into their first season of league tables and competitive football. Gary Todd is once again bringing through the reception and year 1 children, who are now enjoying their training sessions and continuing to make the club grow. We look forward to these youngsters forming our new U7S in September. If any year one children would like to join, please contact Gary on 07817137792. Without such dedicated Managers and coaches giving up their free time and volunteering to run the teams, match days and training would not happen. This also includes running the line and refereeing.

The Seckford Education Trust is pleased to welcome Neil Ketteringham as the new Headteacher at SET Beccles. Mr Ketteringham joins the secondary school at the end of August, ready for the start of term in September, but he has already begun meeting students, welcoming new Year 7s and getting to know everyone across the school community. Mr Ketteringham joins SET Beccles following an established teaching career at schools across the country. Neil relocated from a school in Oxford to north Suffolk in 2013 and has most recently held roles as Head of Department at Benjamin Britten Academy in Lowestoft, and Deputy Head at Alde Valley Academy in Leiston where he supported the school
This season has been the first full season back for Halesworth Town Juniors without being affected by lockdowns due to Covid. A few of the games have been cancelled due to other teams being affected by it but on the whole, we are back on track and have seen a whole season of great football by many aspiring youngsters. We have had seven teams this season all of which have thrived due to hard work and dedication from all. I would like to Thank Westhall community for continuing to welcome us to their village and allowing us to have five of our teams there, without this space we would not be able to continue playing and to grow as a club. Our two U11s teams have also managed a full season back at Dairy Hill and the club has settled back into enjoying the game without too many outside influences to deal with. All seven teams have continued to grow and improve over the season. The two new U7s teams were taken on by Marcos Allen and Dan Barber and have settled in well to their first season, they have had some great team performances and attitudes. Seeing the U9s form another team during the season was a great achievement, Thanks Jud Chenery and Joe Allen for encouraging this by taking on extra children in your training sessions and ensuring the smooth transition to games. Jud Chenery and Matt Bates had a great cup run with the U9 Jaguars and reached the semi-final and took it right to the edge but were defeated on penalties to Solebay. Paul Bullen, Gary Todd and Trev Chenery also reached the semifinals with the U11s and the team gave it their all but were

Local Sports Round-Up
Evening road runs with Beccles & Bungay Harriers
Successful group of martial artists from the club along with seated examiner Mr Gillett VI and instructors Mr and Mrs Bedingfield.
First grading at ICENI Taekwon-do Dojang a great success! Well done to all those who took part in ICENI Taekwon-do's belt grading on 20th June 2022, with an excellent 100% pass! The grading was hosted by instructors Mr and Mrs Bedingfield, with Mrs Bedingfield conducting most of the proceedings. A big thank you to GTUK
Regional Examiner, Mr Clinton Gillett, 6th Dan from Bungay, who closely watched the students as they displayed their Taekwon-do skills which included: techniques, patterns, Korean terminology, sparring, step sparring, selfdefence and board breaking. We are pleased to say that Mr Gillett was very pleased with the
standards being achieved and a 100% pass rate was awarded. Mr and Mrs Bedingfield would also like to thank their black belts and senior grades for volunteering their help on the night, and also to the staff at The Venue for their assistance before and after the grading. The grading shows the continued
success in the rebuilding of the club since the Covid lockdowns, which decimated the previous membership from 60 down to 12 over the two years of restrictions. Only hard work and persistence from the instructors and core students kept the club going, at the time it looked to be an impossible task to get the club back to where it
Cardio Tennis Group
is today. Indomitable Spirit comes to mind! ICENI Taekwon-do always welcomes new students of all ages and abilities. So now would be a great time to join the club with three months to prepare for the next grading. Anyone can book a free session at: iceniTKD.uk.
At Beccles & Bungay Harriers Athletics Club we like to offer our members a bit of variation, and on a Thursday evening at Sir John Leman High School (as well as the usual interval session on the field, junior athletics and sprint session) we arrange a run of about 5K. Last Thursday evening was no exception for the off-road run. The weather stayed fine and it didn't rain, which was a relief. A few puddles to dodge but the paths were good to run on. After a warm-up down the footpath that runs behind the playing field (Cut Throat Lane), we then did 15 minutes out and back along the Angles Way path. There were some
good distances achieved and all enjoyed the route but maybe not the hill on the way back! Well done all! Sessions last for about an hour (6:45pm-7:45pm). Meet at Sir John Leman High School field. We also have similar sessions on a Tuesday evening at Earsham Playing Field. If anyone is interested, please contact us by emailing: bbac2014@outlook.com

Good things happening at Bungay Tennis Club! Beccles Netball Club sessions It's all go at Bungay Tennis Club this season! Our weekly programme of events is proving to be very popular. As well as the club sessions (all abilities welcomed) on a Saturday morning (9:30am12 noon) and Monday evening (6:30pm-9pm), we also have several PAYG options (for members and non-members) that are gaining momentum.
There is junior coaching from 4pm-6pm on a Wednesday afternoon and Cardio Tennis for those who want a bit of fun and exercise with music (7pm8pm). Both are coach-led. We also have group coaching on a Friday evening (6:30pm-8pm) for intermediates and those returning to tennis after a few years. As well as club sessions,
there's a men's and ladies singles ladder operating and of course, ongoing league matches in the Lowestoft and South Norfolk leagues for those who want a bit more competition. Our latest venture is to try and raise some money for a new club hut and combining this with raising money for East Anglian Air Ambulance, a great cause. We're doing this by holding a 24-
hour tennis marathon on 30/31st July at the Maltings Pavilion Courts, Ditchingham. We're currently gaining sponsors, but we already have a JustGiving page for those interested. www.clubspark.lta.org.uk/ BungayTennisClub/Events/ TennisMarathon Anyone interested in trying our sessions, please contact us by calling 07761 474313.
Beccles Netball Club has been established since 2011. The club initially started with ladies from the Beccles area wanting to get back to some form of competitive fitness incorporating it with fun. Since that time, the club has expanded and has a Junior Section which coach 10-14 year old girls and a senior section 14 years to 60+. The club now has
three teams, Beccles Buzzards who consist of junior members and two senior teams Bluebirds and Hawks. All the teams play within the Lowestoft Netball League. Kim Grose is part of the coaching team together with Vanessa Mallows. Both are level 2 qualified netball coaches.

Financial focus on... Divorce “No Fault Divorces” were introduced on 6th April, 2022. Since then applications for divorce have soared by more than 50%. With everything else that is going on during a divorce, don’t forget to think tax. Some of the ways tax is affected include: Income tax is largely only affected with the ability to transfer surplus allowances from one spouse to another. Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is affected in several ways. The taxfree inter-spousal transfer relief is only possible in a tax year when the parties live together as a married couple at some point. However, they remain as connected persons (requiring assets to be transferred at market value) until the date of divorce. This can cause unexpected liabilities where the parties occupy the same residence but not as a married couple. For business assets, a hold-over relief claim could be signed allowing any gains arising to
be deferred but as this would cause the recipient to have a larger potential CGT liability when they sell the asset, both parties may not agree to sign the hold over election anyway. The former marital home can also cause a CGT liability. If one party has left the former marital home, they now only can claim an additional nine months of automatic residence for CGT exemption. This can quickly cause a chargeable gain to start to accrue. Everyone does have an annual CGT exemption, but this may be quite small against the potential gain. Additionally, if a liability exists on disposal, you must also report and pay CGT online to HMRC within 60 dates of completion. (Main Residence Relief is extended where Mesher Court orders are concerned.) The situation is better for Inheritance Tax where the general tax-free exemption for spousal transfers stops on the date of divorce, not the date of
separation. You should note, however, that unlike marriage, a divorce will not automatically nullify a Will so you should think about those as well. Finally, Forensic Accountants excel at seeking out hidden assets, determining the real, not claimed, value of assets and tracking down concealed wealth. Their skills are particularly useful when the one who initiates
the divorce has had the time to hide assets and potentially lay disinformation. Hope this helps.
