Simply Stunning Local Neighbourhood Plan enters next stage
Wenhaston Flower Club On Tuesday 7th June, over 30 flower club members and friends enjoyed a very pleasant and interesting evening at Broome Beck Meadow, hosted by the delightful owners Lucy and Richard Seppings. Lucy shared her plans for her conservation project which is in progress on a wonderful site in Broome near Bungay, walking us around the beautiful landscape filled with fauna and flora. Lucy is also a trained florist and has a large cutting garden which she uses for her bouquets. The super evening ended with a lovely glass of wine or elderflower cordial. We are keen to return in the near future to see the progress Lucy has made. Our July meeting is traditionally a garden party or a cream tea. This year, we're delighted that Jane Bastows is hosting a garden party for us. She has very generously opened her garden for us and is also providing the refreshments. Our party will have taken place as you read this.
We do not meet in August but we are back in September. The September meeting is as usual in Wenhaston Village Hall on Tuesday 6th at 7:30pm. We'll be welcoming New Beginnings from Bungay who will be demonstrating for us. We offer a very warm welcome to anyone who'd like to join us for the evening. We do not have an annual membership fee, it's just £5 on the night which includes refreshments. We meet once a month on the first Tuesday. We'd love to see new faces all the time, but if just one or two sessions catch your eye, just drop in for those. We are very informal. A note for your diaries: The October meeting is our charity night for the Halesworth branch of Cancer Research UK. There will be a selection of stalls and refreshments and is open to absolutely everyone, so please drop in to support us. For more information, please contact Jackie Chenery on 01502 478401.

housing design. • The identification of key movement routes to increase levels of walking and cycling. • A requirement for electric car charging points. The Steering Group received a clear message that the community wanted such matters addressed and the Neighbourhood Plan, through the policies and actions proposed, supports activities and actions in the town that will go towards the climate change goals. The Town Council is already looking at the Plan proposals and taking forward now what it can. In June they agreed to £10,000 of Community Infrastructure Levy being spent on improving the open spaces around town in ways that residents have said they want to see – planting more trees, installing benches and bird boxes and other ways to improve biodiversity - making the spaces pleasanter places to use and enjoy, as well as contributing to the climate change goals. Next time we will let you know more about what the Plan can do for the town as well as update you on the next stage of the Plan’s journey.

we will let you know. Then after that, it will be Referendum time! We expect this to be sometime in the Autumn. The Steering Group has been given a government grant to help us make sure the people of Halesworth know about the Plan and what it can do for the town as it gets closer to the Referendum. The two big benefits of having a Plan are more money for the town as a bigger percentage of the Community Infrastructure Levy comes directly to the Town Council and secondly the policies and proposals contained in the plan will be used by East Suffolk Council to determine any planning applications in Halesworth. But did you know what the Plan can do to address people’s worries about climate change? Here are some of the things the Plan includes. • The protection of two Local Green Spaces, three open spaces and roadside verges from development. • Support for the creation of a new nature reserve. • Protection of heritage trees. • A policy encouraging low energy and energy efficient

Physical copies are also available to view at Halesworth Library, and East Suffolk Council Customer Service Centre, Marina Centre, Marina, Lowestoft, NR32 1HH (during opening hours). The Consultation period ends 5pm 3 August 2022 Comments on the plan can be made online, by email planningpolicy@eastsuffolk. gov.uk or post to East Suffolk Council, Planning Policy and Delivery Team (Neighbourhood Plans), Riverside, 4 Canning Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk NR33 0EQ. The subject heading should be ‘Halesworth Neighbourhood Plan’ and if you are referring to a particular policy or paragraph you should give the details. When the Regulation 16 consultation ends the Plan will go forward for Examination, timing being dependent on the responses received and whether more changes are needed. The examination is carried out by an independent planning expert, appointed by East Suffolk Council. Whether they will come to Halesworth and hold meetings and interviews or just read the documents we don’t know, but

Another big step forward on our way to having a Halesworth Neighbourhood Plan took place on the 22 June when East Suffolk Council announced that our draft plan had reached Regulation 16. It means there will be another consultation period before our Plan is submitted for independent examination. Copies of the Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents are available to view at: https://www. eastsuffolk.gov.uk/planning/ neighbourhood-planning/ neighbourhood-plans-in-thearea/halesworth-neighbourhoodarea/ The Plan and the Consultation Statement can also be found in the Neighbourhood Plan section of the Halesworth Town Council website. The Consultation Statement is a report setting out all the consultations, surveys, meetings and associated leaflets and posters that the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group used to gather your views and the evidence needed to back up the planning policies in the Plan. Appendix S of the Statement is where you will find residents (anonymised) comments and the Steering Group’s responses.
4 - August 2022 - Halesworth & LFW Community News
150 years of learning and fun in Bramfield! It has been a fortnight of celebrations for the people of Bramfield as they not only celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, but it was also the 150th anniversary of Bramfield Church of England Primary School, which first opened in 1872. To celebrate 150 years of learning, the school invited former pupils to visit the school last Monday (7th June) to see how it has changed and to share their thoughts and experiences with current students. Head of School, Linda Ashford says: "We were so excited to have former staff and pupils from as far away as Portugal join us. Our oldest guest was in his 90s and he entertained us with his memories of school life in the 1930s."
Mrs Allen (Executive Headteacher) dressed as Queen Victoria, with pupils from the school
Halesworth… Established for over 50 years We stock a selection of animal, equine, pet and poultry feeds and bedding, country clothing, riding and workwear, garden supplies including garden essentials and tools, seeds and plants
Visitors were given a tour of the school by current students, and there was an exhibition where visitors had opportunity to see pictures of the school through the decades. There were also some old logbooks, including a log of punishments dating from the Victorian era that featured naughty behaviour like 'stealing the school rabbits' which had a punishment of four strokes of the cane! Former school Headteacher, Cathryn Benefer, also attended saying: "The older children were excellent guides for the visitors, and everyone was so very welcoming." The next day the school 'went back in time', experiencing what it would have been like to go
to school in Victorian times. Pupils and teachers dressed up in Victorian clothing and had a visit from 'Queen Victoria' (Executive Headteacher Vicky Allen in fancy dress) as well as a very strict Victorian schoolteacher! "The teacher was scary!" said pupil Sam Batey. "But it was a great way to learn about history." To end the week with a celebration, on Friday, parents and carers were invited to the school to see the exhibition, as well as the new sports and outdoor learning zone that the school is currently fundraising to complete. There was also a range of activities from traditional school games to a hunt for the royal corgis in the secret garden. The children then
entertained the visitors with music, song and dances through the ages, before the anniversary cake was cut and shared. To find out more about our new outdoor learning and sports facility, or make a donation, visit: uk.gofundme. com/ and search for 'Operation Outdoors'.

Update from The Sutton Hoo Ship's Company

J.N. KITCHENS
The Sutton Hoo Ship's Company is based at The Longshed in Woodbridge. Since 2018 the company has engaged 90 volunteers and 3 staff to run the company and build a replica of the Sutton Hoo Ship that was found at Sutton Hoo in 1939 and is now a National Trust visitor site. The volunteers and staff are building the full-size replica, fundraising, and sharing their work with as many visitors, both in person and virtually, as possible.
The ship's backbone, or keel, has been laid which is a beautiful piece of sculpture. The 3D form of the keel structure changes continually as you move your eye from bow to stern, highlighting just how technically capable our Saxon ancestors were. The Shipwrights are currently dealing with an issue with one of the underloutes which are the curved extensions attached to the straight central keel. Here the timber has shrunk and deteriorated meaning that the
section will need to be replaced. Luckily an area of land owned by the Woodland Trust in Hainault has three potential oak trees with the correct curve needed for the replacement piece. Nowadays boats made from wood tend to be laminated and steamed but the Saxons had to take advantage of the naturally grown curve of each tree. While the underloute is being replaced, the 20+ Production Crew are working on cleaving oak trees into wedges to convert into planks
for the hull so if you call by in a few weeks you will hear the steady sound of metal on metal as the iron rivets start to be fitted. Although if you want to see the keel before it is encased with planking it would be good to visit as soon as you can. Visitors can check when our Crew Mates are there to greet them and show them around, or small groups can book a tour with a guide to tell them all about the project by visiting our website www.saxonship.org

cats going missing and being found (sometimes too late) locked in garages, sheds and outbuildings. Dark shelves, piles of old blankets and even bags of warm compost are natural magnets for cats looking for a quiet siesta. Unfortunately, it is all too easy for them to be shut in accidentally and consequently trapped if they are not spotted before the doors are shut and locked. This can be devastating at any time of year, but particularly in warm weather if a cat is trapped somewhere without water. Please, before shutting the doors and always before going on holiday check such places for lurking moggies. Cat looking for a home: Suzie came into care after the death of her owner. She's a friendly cat, likes her own way and enjoys attention and a chat with people but is not happy around other cats or dogs. We estimate her age to be about 12 years and delighted to say that she has had a clean bill of health from the vet. Could you offer this mature lady a new home? Call us to find out more about her. See our website: www. cats.org.uk/framandsax or telephone 01728 723499 for more information about adopting cats in our care, how to become a member of the branch, event dates, neutering, cat-care leaflets, how to become

During the past couple of months, fosterers with the branch have been busy caring for and socialising kittens, getting them ready to go off to their first real homes. At times, virtually every other telephone call to our helpline was from someone who had found a family of kittens in their garden, shed or field or had a pregnant cat which they could not care for. Every one of our cat cabins was full and a list was in place for those we could not yet take in. It has certainly been fullon! It is at times like this that we're so very grateful for our supporters, generous donors, and of course fosterers, without whom we could not afford to continue at times like these. This is a timely reminder: If you have a young cat, please ensure you have it neutered. Whether it is male or female, visit your vet to discuss when to castrate or spay. Neutering should be carried out at approximately 16 weeks of age. Please help stop the increase of unwanted kittens. The branch can help with the cost in hardship cases. Call us or see our website to find out more. Dates for your diary: We'd be delighted to see you at these two events. 7th August: Southwold Antiques Fair on the Green. 20th/21st August: Framlingham Country Fair. Keeping cats safe: We often hear stories of

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.

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

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

First grading at ICENI Taekwondo Dojang a great success!
Important changes to the Hoppa bus service
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, self-
Since the Hoppa returned to normal service after the pandemic, we have seen a big drop in passenger numbers in the afternoons. Consequently, we have decided to suspend afternoon services except on a Tuesday. This is a disappointment to us, but we will keep the situation under review. If demand returns, we hope to reinstate the afternoon services on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Hoppa has regular stops at the Co-op, Bank Corner, Middle Car Park, Old Station Road, Chichester Road, Holton Bus Stop, Harrison's Lane, the Surgery, The Limes, Dukes Drive, Kennedy Avenue, Durban Close, and Jubilee Court. But you don't need to reach a proper stopping point to get on board. Simply signal to the driver

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 is today.

So now would be a great time to join the club with three months to prepare for the next grading.

Dr Dan Poulter: Queens Platinum Jubilee celebration of Suffolk and the once in a lifetime Platinum Jubilee. The Queen's record of public service is second to none. Our Queen is one of the last of my grandparents' generation - a generation who sacrificed so much during the six long years of the second world war to ensure that we can enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted today. The Queen is the very best example of 'service above self', which is a quality that we were able to celebrate during the Jubilee as Suffolk's community heroes were thanked and recognised. I was delighted to join a myriad of events across Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. Framlingham should be very proud of the £2800 raised for the Brain Tumour Charity and Pageant Field and I was honoured to attend their tree planting. I am always inspired by the strength of community spirit shown by the
people of Suffolk, especially at remarkable times of celebration such as these. It was lovely to see so many residents, from across generations out for the Platinum Jubilee and paying tribute to our Queen and her record of tireless public service. I want to give special thanks to the hardworking parish councils, village hall committees and event committees. Events such as these take months to organise, with
many people working tirelessly behind the scenes to make them a success. The festivities came together seamlessly, and we should all be very proud of the spectacular events that were put together for all to enjoy. Thank you to everyone who took part - it really was the very best of Suffolk, leading into another bumper Suffolk Day on 21st June. We truly are lucky to live in such a special county!

When visiting local schools and speaking with pupils, I am often asked what the best part of my working week is as an MP. Without a doubt, it is the return journey home from Parliament to Suffolk on a Thursday evening and spending Fridays and weekends amongst the many communities that I represent. One of the many great things about Suffolk is the community spirit, and we saw that in abundance at this year's Suffolk Show. After two years absence due to the pandemic, this year's event provided the perfect platform to showcase Suffolk's fantastic farming sector and our outstanding local food and drink producers. Our countryside is part of what makes Suffolk so special, and it was fantastic to see everyone back out and celebrating our great county. It was also a delight to see so many towns and parishes across the county come together in

remarkable military hospital. Talk given by Wendy Moore on 20th June 2022 via Zoom: Wendy started the talk (after being welcomed by our Chair Chris) by giving her working background as a journalist by training, concentrating on nonfiction medical and social history. She explained that her interest in the Endell Street Military Hospital began when she came across a painting of an operation which showed all the participating staff to be female. Enquiries revealed the history behind the hospital. When World War One began in 1914, women doctors came forward with offers of help and were soon told by the British military hierarchy to "go home and sit still". Louisa Garrett Anderson and Flora Murray (both qualified doctors, suffragettes, and life partners) did no such thing. When war broke out, men signed up to fight and women worked in male roles. More than 60 female doctors volunteered but were rejected. Their qualifications were exactly the same as those of male doctors, but they were only permitted to treat women and children. There were 1,000 women doctors at the outbreak of war. Louisa (a surgeon) and Flora (an anaesthetist) were keen to serve their country. Eight days after the outbreak of war, they offered help to the French Red Cross, raised money and in six weeks went to France, taking a team of female doctors and nurses. They formed the Woman's Hospital Corps and were given an empty luxury hotel in Paris, brand new and had never been opened before. In 48 hours, a 100-bed emergency hospital was set up treating British and French direct from the frontline. The staff had no experience of military surgery and had not treated men before. The hospital was very successful, and a second military hospital set up in Wimereux became the first hospital to treat men under military conditions. The British Army asked Louisa and Flora to set up a military hospital in the centre of London. The French units were closed, and Endell Street Military Hospital (ESMH) was set up in May 1915 in a former workhouse with 17 wards, 180 female staff and a few male orderlies. Members of the staff were given army pay and allowances and army ranks. ESMH was very close to Charing Cross station where trains arrived full of the wounded. ESMH was featured in newspapers and magazines. In 1916, the hospital ran a trial of an antiseptic ointment. ESMH had a library, theatre, light airy wards with an open courtyard. The men did knitting and sowing. They suffered air raids and food shortages. Louisa and Flora were hard taskmasters. After the war, ESMH stayed open treating Spanish flu victims, finally closing in December 1919. The female staff members were expected to go back to treating women and children again or to go abroad to work.
