light, improved security lighting outside, and CCTV. As a result, we are in high demand for birthday parties, weddings, Christenings, wakes and all sorts of social occasions. The Committee is made up entirely of volunteers from different backgrounds and meets once a month. We all bring our own strengths and attributes to the group and have some fun at the same time. The thing that binds us together is that we love being part of the village community and thrive on enabling our residents and farther-flung locals to come together to enjoy a good time and catch up with friends and neighbours. It would be wonderful to see even more of you at our events! Better still, why not join the Committee? There are only six of us and we will have a couple of vacancies after the next AGM at the end of July. We are a friendly and lively bunch, and any help or skills you can offer would be very gratefully received. If you are interested in finding out more about anything in this article, hiring the hall or joining the committee, please drop an email to holtonandblyfordvillagehall@ hotmail.com. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and we hope to see you soon.

Sunday 1st May at 8am saw 300 energetic runners gather in Thorpeness for the annual Heritage Coast Run. Sponsored by us, the Flick & Son team were out in full force with nine runners taking part in the 10k and Half Marathon routes. This fantastic event, organised by the Aldeburgh Triathlon group had everyone keen to get round fast as the smell of bacon, sausages and burgers sizzled in the air. Raising money for charity each year, with main charity sponsored this year being the Knodishall Cancer Research Group, we’re certain that this event will only continue to grow in popularity, so don’t forget to look out for next year and get involved. Paul Gray, Chief Executive Officer at Flick & Son comments, “It was brilliant to see so many people and their dogs down at the pavilion on a beautiful Sunday

morning. I was so proud of our team and everyone that took part for fun, managing to get themselves round the course and some achieving incredible times that they should very pleased with. We have now decided to not only continue to sponsor the Aldeburgh Triathlon but to enter two teams and I have even been inspired to get myself fit to do the swim. It really is great to be able to support these wonderful events along with others in our community and we look forward to the many events coming up this year organised by amazing people giving up their time so that others can enjoy.”

For those who don’t know me, my name is Hilary Garner and I am the current Chair of the Holton & Blyford Village Hall Committee. I thought I would write about what we do and how we function in a bid to spark your interest either as a hirer or as a potential committee member. The most rewarding thing we do is host a variety of events during the year including Bingo every fortnight and Big Breakfast and the Pop-up Pub every month, plus our craft fairs in Spring and Autumn. Pre-Covid we also arranged a number of larger events such as the Classic Car Show & Fete, Burns’ Night, a Gin Festival and an Autumn Supper, which were all very well attended and great fun. We are fortunate to be supported by several regular hirers, such as a Music & Movement group, Indoor Bowls Club, Pop Chorus, U3A Ukelele Group, two Badminton Clubs, Chediston Art Group, Halesworth Dementia Care, Halesworth Parkinson Group, U3A Wine Group, and Cancer Research. The hall is a registered charity, and all profits are ploughed back into keeping the hall in tip-top condition. Thanks to the hard work of the Committee in recent years, the hall has excellent kitchen facilities, a refurbished stage with new curtains, a redecorated meeting room, new doors and windows all round, including fire doors with glass panels to bring in more natural

Pear Tree Centre throws open its doors J.N. KITCHENS

SIMPLY UNBEATABLE

CREATIVE DESIGNS • BESPOKE MANUFACTURING • CRAFTSMEN INSTALLED

Please call us to arrange for your FREE, no obligation design and quote. Established in 1980, we have unrivalled experience with thousands of quality kitchen installations throughout Norfolk and Suffolk.

Now Open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10am - 4pm

People from east Suffolk and neighbouring areas are being invited to find out more about the free services offered by the Pear Tree Fund, meet its friendly staff and volunteers and enjoy refreshments and live music at a special open day. The Pear Tree Centre, in Bungay Road, Halesworth, will throw open its doors on Sunday 15 May. During the celebrations, Lowestoft Chorale will perform British choral music from the 13th to 20th century from 1pm to 3pm, while one of the charity’s founders and former trustee Barbara Kell will officially open Richard’s Garden, which is dedicated to the memory of her late husband, at 1pm. Richard Kell was a wellknown local GP and chair of Halesworth Community Nursing Care Fund, the Pear Tree Fund’s predecessor, for 18 years before retiring from the role in 2017. He died in July 2019 of motor neurone disease at the age of 64. The garden has been created in his memory as a tranquil space in which visitors can relax

and includes a striking piece of artwork by Suffolk sculptor Brian Alabaster, who was one of Richard’s friends. Barbara said: “It is so sad that Richard had not been able to see the completion of The Pear Tree Centre, but my family and I are honoured that the garden has been named in his memory. “Richard was passionate about the outdoors, walking and wildlife, and loved nothing better than pottering around in our garden. He would have loved the calm, tranquil ambience of the space created by Edward Flaxman and his team at Studio 31.” Kevin Vaughan, chief executive of the Pear Tree Fund, said: “We are really excited about this open day and being given the opportunity to throw open our doors to our local community. We’d encourage as many people to come along as possible and find out more about the wide range of free services we provide to people with life-changing illnesses and long-term health conditions, together with their

families and carers and those who have experienced a bereavement. “This includes everything from a cup of tea and listening ear to help with wellbeing, group support, information and advice and sessions with our qualified counsellors and complementary therapists. We also offer social welfare advice about areas such as benefits and support with digital literacy, and work closely with the voluntary sector, community groups and partner charities to put the right help in place to meet the needs of the whole family. “This is a great opportunity for us to showcase some of the fantastic work carried out by our team and volunteers which is making a real difference to local people when they need it most.” Everyone is welcome to drop in to the open day, which takes place between 11am and 3pm. Alternatively, you can find out more about the support offered by the Pear Tree Fund or to donate to the charity by calling 01986 899655, emailing info@ peartreefund.org or visiting www. peartreefund.org

A Suffolk cinema manager is celebrating 30 years at the iconic Leiston Film Theatre. Wayne Burns joined Leiston Film Theatre in 1992 at the age of 22 and has spent three decades nurturing the venue’s owners and supporters through the cinema’s remarkable transformation, which has seen it blossom from a neglected ‘flea-pit’, into one of the most cherished independent venues in the country. Wayne, who’s love for cinema hails back to an open day at Aldeburgh Cinema as a teenager, was persistent in gaining employment as a projectionist at the seaside cinema in the 1980’s, fulfilling a childhood dream and being trained in the art of screening 16mm and 35mm films. In 1992, Leiston Town Council, who had saved the Leiston Picture House from closure in 1976, advertised for an assistant manager and it was Wayne who was offered the job, although as Wayne recalls in his 2014 book, Spilling the Popcorn, he wasn’t entirely sure that the move was for the best.

“Initially, I had grave reservations about joining the Film Theatre. It was very evident that there was an awful lot that had to be done, for the venue to offer an experience that the paying public expected. Thankfully, the formation of the Film Theatre Support Club in 1992 and a renewed resolve from the Town Council to see Leiston’s cinema reach its full potential, meant that we were able to slowly turn our vision into an eventual reality.” said Wayne. Following a substantial programme of repairs and refurbishment, audiences began to return in earnest and Wayne’s ambitious programming saw many big films being screened quicker and the introduction of an improved selection of live entertainment provided an annual package for both stage and screen, including a hugely popular annual Pantomime, held in January each year. Wayne took over from Peter Free as Film Theatre manager in 1994 and as the venue’s reputation and audience numbers grew, premier seating

was added, the projection and sound equipment was upgraded, the foyer was enlarged and new toilets were introduced, with Wayne remaining very hands on with all projects, to ensure that everything was just as he preferred it to be. The result saw admissions sore to the extent that at the end of 2019, the venue recorded its highest ever admissions since the Town Council took over the 107-yearold cinema. Wayne is grateful of the support that he has received over the years from the Town Council, Support Club and of the many members of staff, who make the

experience of visiting the Film Theatre so unique and enjoyable for their loyal customers. The Town Council are sincerely thankful of Wayne’s efforts since 1992. “Leiston

Town Council would like to congratulate Wayne whole heartedly on 30 years exemplary service at Leiston Film Theatre. His experience and knowledge are second to none and Wayne

Financial Focus On... For the self-employed and partnerships, whilst the tax year ends on 5 April annually, you are entitled to use whatever accounting year you like. Put simply, the accounting year end that finishes in the tax year provides the assessed profits for that tax year. This of course means that someone with a yearend of 5 April 2020 has his profits assessed in 2019/20 whereas someone making his accounts to 30 April 2020 has his profits taxed in 2020/21. From 2023/24, it is proposed that everyone will uses a tax year basis, i.e.: as if their accounts were made to 31 March or 5 April annually (HMRC will treat these as coterminous). Any other year-end will be apportioned accordingly – if necessary, filing an estimated Tax Return until your second accounting period has finished. Example: 30 September annual accounting would need 6 months of 30/9/27 and 6 months of 30/9/28 accounts to form the 2027/28 assessment. The 2023/24 tax year will be a transition year. Whilst these rules are yet to be finalised, if you are not already on a 31 March or 5 April basis, it is expected that a merging of the old and new system will occur. Example: a 30 September year end would have 18 months of profit assessed in the 2023/24 tax year (12 months to 30/9/23 plus 6 months to 5 April 2024) but with the ability to elect to spread the additional tax due across 5 years. You can use any Overlap Relief brought forward. As you are effectively going to be forced to change when your profits are assessed in the next couple of years, if you use anything other than 5 April/31 March accounting, why not consider changing your yearend when you choose, instead of when HMRC dictates. Then it is you who chooses which profits are merged. Changing the year-end is complicated and there is no one-rule-fits-all. There can be costs involved and you would not be allowed to spread any additional tax across five years either. However, with an enforced change coming, you have the opportunity to make a change when you want to and potentially have less tax assessed.

now enjoys going out for a walk without getting exhausted. Being an electrician Kevin has also found his work has become much easier as trying to get through trap doors and working in roof spaces was a challenge at times. Julie Liddiard who runs the Leiston group says “I am incredibly proud of Kevin. He has done and continues to do so well. We are all in awe of his transformation and he has become so much healthier and happier and also a very important member of the group. His motivation is an inspiration and he has transformed from a member who had very low esteem to a far more confident member. I couldn’t be prouder of what Kevin has achieved.”

that the support he got from his consultant and the group was practical and encouraging. He also found that Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan based on the science of satiety and energy density was easy to follow and maintain long term. Kevin said “Not only am I eating more and not feeling deprived my whole attitude to food has changed and am enjoying breakfast which I never used to have.” Kevin now makes wise choices when he is out with friends or going to restaurants or parties using the flexibility of Food Optimising. As the weight came off Kevin found that he had more energy and his health and fitness improved considerably. Slimming World’s Body Magic Activity programme has helped Kevin become more active. He decided to join a gym to improve his fitness especially cardio and has gone from struggling to complete a 20 minute session to now being able to do two and a half hour sessions. He

A super slimmer from Leiston has been named group Man of the Year 2022 after losing just over an incredible 7.5 stone. Since joining Slimming World in Leiston on 2nd September 2021 Kevin Hall has proved that Slimming World works just as well for men as women. Like many men Kevin initially thought that Slimming Clubs were aimed at Women and assumed the focus would be on diet food. However with a 12 week referral from Suffolk One Life, Kevin decided to give it a try. He was fed up being the size he was and worrying about the consequences and embarrassed about the possibility of having to get a seat belt extension for his car or van or when going on a plane. He was suffering with high blood pressure and cholesterol, sleep apnoea and heart palpitations and wanted to do something about his weight rather than be forced down a route of medication which he has successfully managed to avoid.

has worked incredibly hard, especially over the past two years, keeping our iconic venue open and to offer customers, old and new, the bespoke theatre experience to which Leiston

Film Theatre is renowned for.” said Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Clerk, Caroline Rinder. It hasn’t all been highs though and in recent times Wayne has had serious concerns for the future of the Film Theatre. “The Covid pandemic brought great sadness and uncertainty to all of us at the Film Theatre and as time slowly past and the venue sat dark and empty, I had genuine concerns whether we could ever bounce back. Thankfully, our wonderful customers adore our venue and donated £10,000 during lockdown to enable us to keep going and are now slowly returning. Week by week, we welcome familiar faces back and a whole new family of followers who are now discovering the delights of visiting our fabulous Film Theatre” he said. Wayne recently celebrated his 30th anniversary, with a screening of one of his favourite films - the 1957 Ealing classic, The Smallest Show on Earth (U), with donations donated to the Leiston Film Theatre Support Club, towards their ongoing fund raising to further enhance Suffolk’s oldest cinema. And what is next for Wayne and the Film Theatre? His lips are sealed, but he certainly has something in mind and like any great film, reminds us that anything is possible.

New sensory backpacks to broaden young visitor's experience Woodbridge Tide Mill is welcoming more and more children and families these days but sometimes when it's busy, it may be an overwhelming or even stressful experience for individuals with sensory processing disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Heather Sheehan (the Tide Mills Education Lead) says: "We are delighted to announce that we now have sensory backpacks. The backpacks are designed to make a visit more accessible

ear defenders (for if the Mill machinery gets too noisy), sunglasses (for if the light gets too much), a torch (for those gloomy museum corners and to see our machinery in a little more detail), a 'feelings indicator' (if you're too shy to express yourself), a magnifying glass (to help find those pesky hidden mice), a sensory map (to show you where the noisy and quiet areas of the museum are) and the museum trail (to keep you busy on your visit and which you can then take home with you).

Sensory backpacks like this are a powerful calming tool for children with sensory or additional needs. Woodbridge Tide Mill Charitable Trust Chairman, John Carrington added: "I'd like to thank our education lead, Heather Sheehan, the East of England Coop as sponsor and our volunteers for researching and creating this sensory backpack. The charity wishes to look after its visitors and meet as many of their needs as it can. This is another useful development towards that goal."

part of a special weekend of celebratory events taking place in Saxmundham. The grand opening will coincide with the 750th anniversary of the town’s market charter and will be presided over by none other than King Henry III. And everyone is invited to the celebrations. Sporting first class facilities for the people of Saxmundham and the local area, the brand new centre has a large hall which can hold almost 200 people, a semi commercial fully fitted kitchen capable of serving up the most sumptuous medieval feast, small and large meeting/conference rooms and a separate cabin which is currently used by the Foodbank. A super large car park and electrical car charging points finish off a magnificent asset and meeting venue for the town. The centre is administered by The Saxmundham & District CIC; a not for profit social enterprise run by a small group of local volunteers. Stephen Palmer, Chair of SADCIC, said.. “Never before has Saxmundham had its very own community centre and we are all extremely proud of the outstanding achievements working in collaboration with other agencies. Saxmundham residents will know that the site was formerly the County Buildings and Suffolk CC remain the overall site owner. I am extremely grateful to Suffolk CC and our County Councillor, Richard Smith for all the help and assistance they have given to setting up the new Community Centre.” “We moved our operations

from temporary accommodation in Seaman Avenue back in November and since opening, the number of clubs and societies using the facilities has mushroomed. Users range from baby and infant classes, Rainbows, Brownies & Guides, Yoga classes, Pilates, Dancing & Singing classes, The horticultural Society, Royal British legion and U3A to name but a few. The Rotary Club run a highly popular pop up Café on a Wednesday under the Smile Café banner. We are now taking bookings for children’s party events. Please check out our website at www. fromuscentre.org.uk for all the latest information.” King Henry III will officially mark the opening at 2 pm which will be followed by an afternoon of free events and demonstrations by some of our users. The Smile Café will be serving refreshments all afternoon. An event not to be missed so make a note in your diary and we look forward to welcoming you all to your new community centre – The Fromus Centre.

An update from Halesworth Library

Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, 1897, Station Road (image courtesy of Beccles and District Museum)

Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, 1897, Star Hotel, Gosford Road (image courtesy of Beccles and District Museum)

Beccles Jubilee Beccles will be celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in a variety of ways over the Platinum Jubilee weekend. In keeping with its long tradition of marking Jubilees, which goes back to at least 1810 when the Corporation of the Fen decided to spend £50 (more than £4,000 in today's money) in regaling the 'Poor of this Parish' to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of George III. Jubilee celebrations took on larger dimensions in the reign of Queen Victoria; and permanent memorials were created. In 1887, 400 poor and aged persons were given a sit-down dinner, consisting of meat, bread and plum pudding, but they had to bring their own cutlery! Athletic

sports took place on the Common. The great stained-glass east window of St. Michael's Church was created to commemorate the Jubilee and contributions from grateful townsfolk also paid for the extension of the hospital (then in Fair Close). A new ward was added, bringing the accommodation to 15 beds and three cots. In 1897, the Queen celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. Much debate (including at two public meetings) took place in the town over how the milestone should be marked in a tangible form. Eventually, it was decided to build a home for the town's nurse, even though a vote had been in favour of a new public hall. Tea was provided for

2,000 children on the Common, and various games and sports took place. At 9pm, a procession of cyclists in fancy dress paraded through the decorated streets, one lad dressed as Queen Victoria graciously acknowledging the cheering of hundreds of spectators. In 1935, for George V's Silver Jubilee a grand carnival processed from Priory Road to the Common via a very circuitous route through the town. Events for children centred on the Caxton Recreation Ground. Adults could dance at the Public Hall from 9pm and the Scouts lit their beacon at 10pm on the Common where they were joined by the Guides around a campfire for community singing. Many Beccles residents will

remember the celebrations for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. Events included the grand fête provided by the Sports Development Council at Beef Meadow, the Fire Brigade's open day and disco and the Regal Theatre's 'all-star variety show'. Some Beccles householders decorated their properties extensively. The gates to The Avenue from The Common were renovated (and will be refurbished again in 2022). More information about how Beccles celebrated Jubilees will be available in an exhibition at St. Michael's Church over the Jubilee Weekend. Barry Darch, Beccles and District Museum

A group of tireless volunteers in Reydon are celebrating the near completion of a brand new Sports and Community Centre in the village. The land has a long legacy of being used by the community as it was the playing field to Reydon High School until the school closed in 1990. After the formation of Reydon Playing Fields Charity in 2013 additional land was purchased and work on the pavilion began in 2016. The building, which boasts a function lounge and large hall, (which are interconnecting) kitchen, disabled access, large carpark, and patio area overlooking the playing field, was funded by many local grants including from Reydon

produced by varying the order in which the bells are rung) started in the late 16th century. There have been bells at Halesworth since 1440, the oldest and loudest musical instruments in the town. Learning to ring is tricky, about as hard as learning to drive a car, with some light to moderate physical exercise thrown in, but new ringers are quickly seduced by the combination of intellectual and physical challenges and the nationwide camaraderie: You can turn up at almost any tower in the country with bells, announce you are a ringer, and you'll get to join in. Ringers do not have to be churchgoers (most of the

Amazing achievement as Sports and Community Centre nears completion

One of the features of national celebrations in England is the sound of church bells ringing out across town and country. The bellringers in the Blyth Valley are aiming to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee by manning all seven churches in the Blyth Valley Team on the anniversary of the coronation, although Halesworth will be the day after as we need to call in reinforcements. The provisional timetable is as follows: Blythburgh 10:15am-10:45am (not strictly Blyth Valley but close) Wenhaston 11am-11:30am Bramfield 11:45am-12:15pm Heveningham 2:15pm-2:45pm Huntingfield 3pm-3:30pm Wissett 4pm-4:30pm Chediston 7:30pm-8:30pm The timing of ringing on 3rd June at Halesworth has yet to be confirmed, but you won't miss it if you live anywhere near St. Mary's Church! The ringing at Chediston and Halesworth will be special performances (quarter peals) that involve lots of concentration for 45 minutes' non-stop ringing, but anyone is very welcome to come and watch us close up at the other towers, and there will be someone on hand to explain what is going on and answer questions.

Tilly (pictured) is just one of a number of mature cats in the care of Framlingham and Saxmundham CP at the moment, who are looking for somewhere to spend the rest of their lives. Looking for a home: The beautiful long-haired lady pictured is Tilly, who is about nine years old. She takes a while to gain her confidence with new people, but she really does love a proper cuddle. Tilly does not like dogs and would be best suited in a quiet adult only home with no other pets. If you could offer Tilly the quiet, loving home she needs, please contact us.

Framlingham & Saxmundham Cats Protection news #MatureMoggiesDay - 16th June - Celebrating our senior 'kitizens'. Did you know that older cats can take over three times longer to find new adopted homes than younger cats? Cats Protection (CP) is on a mission to change this by holding a day of celebration on June 16th in honour of mature moggies who are often rather young at heart. CP would like you to take to social media in your masses using the hashtag #MatureMoggiesDay to show appreciation for cats who have a lifetime of experience and still so much love to give. They may be a little calmer and their meows might have more of a gravelly tone, but mature cats make ideal companions. Their warmth, kindness and head nuzzles help lift any day and who says that older moggies don't like getting into mischief? CP would love you to share your stories on 16th June! So get posting on social

HRH Queen Elizabeth II also sent her best wishes to Joan. Money has been donated to the East Anglian Air Ambulance in Joan's wishes as it's a charity close to her heart.

With days lengthening and weather improving, things are going well at Halesworth Bookshop and we're delighted to be welcoming back authors for signing sessions and talks in the shop. To celebrate the Queen's Jubilee, children are welcome to the bookshop on Saturday 3rd June from 10:30am-noon to make and decorate a crown which they can wear to the town's picnic in the park later that day. In the afternoon, the bookshop will be joining forces with The Feedbarn to offer light refreshments from 3pm to their customers who supported both establishments throughout the long running saga of the fire and scaffolding! Back in 1961, HRH Queen Elizabeth II made a Royal Progress through Suffolk - the first official visit to the county since Queen Elizabeth I some 400 years previously. To mark that occasion, a book titled 'A Suffolk Garland for The Queen' was produced celebrating the miscellany of Suffolk life with letters, scenes, sketches and photographs. Now to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, there's a new book 'A New Suffolk Garland',

Rendham Mummers Suffolk Carpet Weavers

Help the Rendham Mummers celebrate the Summer Solstice at the Sweffling White Horse on June 21st and on July 23rd at the park in Rendham. Both performances begin at 7.30 pm - be there early. Their latest offering, The Armada Reaches Rendham, is set in the year 1588 and Drake has won the Queen a great victory. To celebrate he has organised a trip to Rendham. Unbeknown to all, a Spanish warship goes aground off Dunwich and

four Spanish sailors make it to shore where they rendezvous with the traitorous Sir William of Bruisyard. As the Queen dances with the villagers the Catholic plotters draw near. Will they succeed where the Armada failed? There is only one way to find out, come and join us for some riotous fun and help celebrate in the summer sunshine. There will be a cash collection taken at both performances for two local charities: the IP17 foodbank and Suffolk Accident Rescue Service
