Summer is without a doubt my favourite season, not least of all because it means that I can spend more time at my home in Suffolk and enjoying all that we love about this great county. From the swathes of farmland, open skies and vibrant market towns to the local produce markets, village fetes and independent retailers, I particularly relish the opportunity to get out and about meeting so many of you and supporting our local businesses, community events and local food producers. So much work goes into the many school and community fetes that take place through the summer months, with community volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring everything to fruition. Thank you for all that you do to make our villages and communities so special.

A big thank you from ChristmasHalesworthLights

The Pantomime has been written by Wayne Burns and Stephen Ginger, who between them have over 30 years of Pantomime 'behind them'. The show is being brought to the stage under Wayne's 'Team B Productions' title, a group of experienced am-dram performers, many of which have previously appeared on the Film Theatre stage and whose previous

The story see's Nottingham's favourite arrow slinging outlaw, Robin Hood, and his band of merry folk, trying to outwit the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham and rescue Robin's one true love, the fair Maid Marian.

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

An afternoon at the Opera

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.

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.

After our summer break, we are back with two events in October.

We will be serving tea/coffee and cakes when you need a sit down and a rest. We are very grateful for donations so please call me to arrange collection of items you may have. Unfortunately, we cannot take electrical items or large items of furniture etc. As always please don't leave jumble items outside the village hall as we only hire the hall on the day so are unaware of things left there.

We are very grateful to Wenhaston Flower Club for hosting a charity night for us on Tuesday 4th October in Wenhaston Village Hall at 6:30pm. This will be a drop in event with stalls and refreshments.

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.

Halesworth Area Community Transport (HACT)

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.

There are always bargains to be had at our jumble sales so please come and have a browse.

After the scheduled programme, the two singers were called back for an encore by the appreciative audience.

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.

Cancer Research UK

The stalls will include books, bric-a-brac, cakes, raffle, etc we are also hoping to have a few craft stalls. The Cancer Research Christmas Cards will be on sale and the very limited-edition pin badges. Please come and support our charity night and ladies bring the menfolk along too.

Thank you everyone.

After Halesworth's soprano Alice Howell's successful recital at Halesworth's St Mary's Church in July, both she and her partner Alexander White held an 'Afternoon at the Opera' in St. Andrew's Church, Trowse on Saturday 20th August.

This month, I'm sending some photos of a workshop on Aboriginal art which was run by talented club member Anne.

Another event at The Longshed that weekend was a book signing by Gillie and Robin Whittle, who staged an exhibition of photographs and a slide show of their many adventures sailing their Cornish Shrimper, Bumble Chugger. We hope they'll come back later in the year to do a full talk about their much-loved boat and their time sailing her. Their beautiful book about their adventures is on sale in our gift

After a short photographic session, John and Rosemary visited the Sutton Hoo Ship's Company's replica ship build with Paul to learn how the construction was progressing. They were amazed at the work that has been done so far.

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who supported the fun-filled Woodbridge Historic Riverside Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Here at the The Longshed, as part of the festival, we hosted a sell-out 'Sea Shanties' supper evening, featuring the "Rum Old Boys" who put heart and soul into ensuring we had a great evening, telling us about the origins of the shanties and ensuring we joined in the choruses with gusto! Many thanks to the Rum Old Boys, to the team of helpers who produced an excellent supper, and to all the other helpers behind the scenes who made the evening possible.

She loves attention and especially loves having her tummy tickled! We don't think she has ever lived with a dog or another cat, so she'd be more suitable to go to a home with no other pets. If you think you could offer Scarlett a home,

Saxmundham

Don Tricker and Phil Peeling

15 years ago a group of eight local volunteers came together to form The Saxmundham & District Community Interest Company (SADCIC) to improve Saxmundham's community amenities, because (as a not-forprofit social enterprise) SADCIC could access many more additional and supporting funding sources to work with the local authorities.

With a rapidly growing town (and still continuing today) the big community priority desire was for a recognisable multipurpose community centre. After several false starts, with two major funding bid failures to the Big Lottery, SADCIC entered into a partnership with Suffolk County Council (SCC) on a joint project. Initially, in 2011, SCC offered SADCIC the opportunity to take over the under-used Saxmundham Resource Centre in Seaman Road, Saxmundham. This gave SADCIC valuable experience in facilities management. Over the next ten years (with a pandemic interval) SADCIC built up the newly branded Fromus Centre into a thriving community hub, catering for a very diverse set of users.SADCIC continued to work closely with SCC and was a key partner in an exciting project to refurbish the County Buildings in Street Farm Road which included construction of a new Fromus Community Centre in what was formerly the SCC Highways office. At the end of 2021, SADCIC moved into Street Farm Road, within the Saxmundham town centre, and the brand new Fromus Community Centre was officially opened in July this year. For further information and current updated news, please visit our brand new www.fromuscentre.org.uk.website:

The first steps were to conduct a major postal survey of all households in IP17 district and the results were passed to the Civic Society, who were commissioned
