in the arrangements they were making. Sam and Lorraine are so passionate about what they do their enthusiasm made it a truly enjoyable evening. They very generously donated their arrangements as rafﬂe prizes which some of the ladies were lucky enough to win.

As well as helpful suggestions for changes the representations also contained positive comments about various sections of the Plan. A general comment from ESC gave us conﬁdence that we are on the right track for getting a Neighbourhood Plan for the town.

Valerie’s (10am-4pm) (10am-2pm)

But of course, it is not for ESC to decide. The decision will be made by Halesworth residents by voting in a Referendum, which we hope will be held later this autumn.

We start a bit earlier than usual at 6:30pm but it is a drop in event so pop in and support us. It is open to absolutely everyone you don’t have to belong or have been to ﬂower club.The night is arranged as a fayre, with various stalls (handmade cards, books, Brica- brac, tombola, rafﬂe, cakes, jewellery/ scarves etc.).

He will need to check we have consulted and that the proposals are based on the evidence we have gathered but he does not give an opinion as to whether the Plan is a good one or not. He may suggest some changes in order to meet Basic Conditions and these will need to be addressed before East Suffolk Council can approve it to go forward to a Referendum. The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has been able to read the 15 representations made to ESC in the latest round of consultation (Regulation 16) that ended on the 3rd August. How these are responded to is out of our hands although we did send in clariﬁcation on a couple of the representations made. The Examiner will let us know if he wants to discuss any of the proposals that individuals and organisations have made.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday October 4th in Wenhaston Village Hall. This meeting is a bit different as it is our Charity Night raising money for The Halesworth Branch of Cancer Research UK.

We resumed our monthly meetings after the summer break on Tuesday 6th September and we had an exceptional time. We had one of our highest attendance’s ever and as a special treat our tea ladies for the night (Nikki, Jane and Diane) made a selection of delicious cakes to celebrate the start of our new year at ﬂower club.The highlight of the night however was the fantastic demonstration given by Sam and Lorraine from New Beginnings Florist in Bungay. The arrangements were all in a modern style and were truly stunning. The ladies were so knowledgeable and chatted away to us answering questions whilst describing what foliage and ﬂowers they were using

Halesworth Town Council

Halesworth enjoyed a fun day in the sunshine on Saturday 3rd September courtesy of First Light and the Marketplace Project. There were buskers and dance classes, cookery demonstrations and creative workshops and art trail that covered the Thoroughfare and Market Place. The Council would like to thank First Light Festival and East Suffolk Council for organising the event and to all the performers and exhibitors that put on shows, demonstrations and classes. We have received very positive feedback from those who attended and took part in the activities.The Council welcomes enquiries from members of the public interested in becoming a Town Councillor as there are currently three vacancies. Town Councillors are all volunteers, training will be provided but unfortunately there is no pay.

support – it is most welcome and is proof of how much the local community appreciate the work HEM volunteers do to ensure there are Christmas Lights in Halesworth every year, some local towns do not have the volunteers and local support that Halesworth have and are therefore unable to raise the necessary money to put up lights and hold a switch-on event.Onthe same day, HEM held a rafﬂe and a very popular lucky dip in the Thoroughfare and again many thanks to everyone for their support, it raised approximately £200 for our funds. Hopefully we will run a similar event during Scarecrow Week in October.

Annette Johnson, with the help of her friends in the bingo club, organised a very successful jumble sale in the Day Centre in aid of Halesworth Christmas Lights. Annette would like to thank everyone who helped in any way – the local businesses who donated rafﬂe prizes, those who made cakes and of course those who attended and supported the event. At the end of the morning a magniﬁcent £472.84 had been raised which is a tribute to all the hard work put in by Annette and her team. They are hoping to boost this at their next bingo night to get the total up £500. HEM would like to thank Annette and her team for their hard work and

Pantomime gallops into Leiston Film Theatre - Oh yes it does!

A big thank you from ChristmasHalesworthLights

Following the triumphant return of Pantomime to the splendid Leiston Film Theatre earlier this year, Team B Productions bring you a forest full of fun with their fabulous family adventure, Robin Hood, appearing live at the Leiston Film Theatre from the 13th to the 15th of January 2023, with demand for tickets so high, that seats for some performances are already limited.

The Pantomime has been written by Wayne Burns and Stephen Ginger, who between them have over 30 years of Pantomime 'behind them'.

The Pantomime sees renowned Suffolk musician Tom Horton returning as the musical director and the energetic students from the Chloe Kinrade School of Dance will be making a welcome return to the stage, as part of the

wonderful to bring panto back to Leiston in January and the entire cast and crew can't wait to bring our brilliant script to life on stage and perform for such appreciative crowds. Our audiences are in for a real treat" he said.

One member of the audience (who is a life-long opera lover and has attended concerts at Covent Garden, the home of opera) stated that Alice and Alex were: "up there with the best of them".

To all our valued supporters, please continue to come to our events. I know times are very difﬁcult now but without you all, we cannot do the vital work of defeating cancer. Thank you everyone.

Massanet (Manon).

The programme was introduced by the Revd. Rosemary Braby who also thanked the performers for a stunning and professional performance.

We are hoping to be able to ﬁnd somewhere to place a bench in or near the central car park, so our passengers do not have to spend a long time on their feet waiting for the bus. We will be speaking to local Councillors to see if they can help us with this as many people have expressed a desire to have somewhere to sit while waiting for the Hoppa to arrive.

Alexander recently gained his Masters from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music in Greenwich. They were accompanied by Peter Hayward on piano. A packed church heard Alice and Alex sing fourteen solos and duets, extracts from arias and Opera's by ﬁve composers.

Finally, we're very pleased to welcome back Shirley Woolterton who was a Bus Buddy on the Day Centre bus for many years before taking a break. Bus buddies help with loading heavy shopping onto the bus, and even taking it to people's doors when we get them home. It's a service that is much appreciated and something we couldn't offer without our fantastic buddies.

Our next event is our very popular jumble sale on Saturday 15th October in Holton Village Hall (please see our advert). There are always bargains to be had at our jumble sales so please come and have a browse.

The Hoppa will continue to run services around Halesworth and Holton with regular visits to the Co-op, town centre car park, the Surgery and Holton bus stop, travelling via Dukes Drive, Bedingﬁeld, Lansbury Road, Old Station Road, Harrisons Lane, Holton Road and other stops at the request of our passengers.

The committee is delighted to welcome Sophia France, Cancer Research's new Relationship Manager for Norfolk and Suffolk.

Light refreshments were available during the interval. These were provided by the members of St. Andrew's Church and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

After a long hot summer, many people will be looking forward to cooler Autumn days, but don't be caught in the rain.

Firstly if you are reading this and you are a first time buyer, then this is a huge milestone and one that should definitely be celebrated no matter what stage of life you are at. So what’s the best advice we would give, first things first the finances. Find a good mortgage broker. By using a broker and especially one that has access to the whole of the market you can shop around and find the best deal that works for you, depending on your future plans, length of mortgage, monthly payments and affordability. Work with your broker to look at your affordability, not simply what you can afford on paper, but what its going to cost you to fund your purchase and then monthly look at your existing spending habits and monthly outgoings to work out what you will be comfortable paying on a mortgage, utilities and council tax. The last thing you want to do Is to overstretch yourself financially. Next write your wish list and have two columns, your negotiables

crash? On speaking with our recommended broker Yellow Brick Mortgages and other local agents that we work closely with we are of the belief that the market will change, over the last few years particularly in across Suffolk and Norfolk property prices have grown at a rapid rate, this of course cannot continue at the same level and we have already seen a slow in the sale of some properties and prices levelling, in comparison to pre lock down, the market still remains extremely strong. So although we are not expecting prices to increase further we are not expecting to see a sudden crash and the market to bottom out in this area. Halesworth remains popular with locals who have grown up here and out of area buyers. So whilst we are seeing some properties taking longer to sell and some properties having price reductions before they do so, our advice is if you are ready, then don’t delay as you could be waiting a long time in this area if you are holding out for a bargain.

When calculating the gain, you are allowed to deduct other known CGT losses or reliefs in existence as at the date of disposal but not those arising later in that same tax year. As capital gains are deemed to be the highest part of your taxable income, unless you know accurately what your income will be, you may need to estimate your CGT liability and then amend the CGT Report as more information becomes available.

Walkers and volunteers alike are all patiently ﬁnding ways to cope. Meanwhile, the situation at the time of writing is this.

Engineers for Suffolk County Council who are responsible for the bridge decided that the washing away of brickwork and the rotting of wooden supports under the bridge had reached such a state that the solid-looking concrete on top can no longer reliably be held up. They are now urgently putting together various options for replacement which will be discussed with the Green Trustees and the Town Council.

We have had two very nice outings this Summer. Firstly, we visited the Oasis Camel Centre at Linstead and enjoyed hearing about the camels and other animals. Some had camel rides, but not any of our members! There is a very nice café there too, and a little train to ride on. A good time was had by all.

On October 22nd between 10am and 12 noon, the repair cafe will have a presence at The Cut, and have asked us to attend. Their premise is that they can only work on things at the library during their hours. Therefore if something is too big or will take longer, they thought that we could become involved.

We are also grateful for so many who have offered their condolences in the past few weeks.He was a well-respected member of the community and had many links in the local area and beyond. He was a kind and compassionate man who dedicated his life to helping others. He always had time for people, and that became his life's work. He pastored Halesworth Community Church and impacted many lives with his insightful guidance. His good work will continue through

He lived out his faith, understanding that, in order to have a full life, you ﬁrst had to learn how to give it away. He taught that good relationships were based on serving each other rather putting our own interests ﬁrst. He would often say: "If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I know where I'm going." He had no doubt of his heavenly resting place. Those of us who share his beliefs will see him again, but for now he will be hugely missed.
