Hadleigh Swimming Club enters new era! After two years of uncertainty and setbacks, swimming is just one of the sports and activities which has suffered as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pools up and down the country have been forced to close, resulting in swimming clubs with nowhere to train. We are all aware that children and young people who participate in extracurricular activities enjoy better physical and mental health and clubs such as Hadleigh Swimming Club help build and strengthen communities. Things have turned out a little differently for Hadleigh Swimming Club as we have been excited to get back to a full training schedule in our town’s beautiful new facility. In fact, the good news does not stop there. During December 2021, Sudbury Storms reluctantly held its final training session but Hadleigh SC have been delighted to welcome swimmers from the club, along with some of the Sudbury volunteer and coaching team to become Dolphins. This has also meant that our swimmers have been able to benefit from additional pool time at the Kingfisher Leisure Centre. This is great news for competitive swimming in the Brett Valley area. More pool time means improved fitness and we are thrilled by the numbers of Hadleigh Dolphins, both old and new, who have made it to the Suffolk County Championships 2022, despite a very limited competition schedule to achieve ambitious qualification times. Access to a second, larger facility means we can look forward to hosting our own competitive events in the not-too-distant future. If any local businesses out there are interested in sponsoring one of these events, they can contact our friendly fundraising coordinator, Laura at hadleighscfundraising@gmail.com – we would love to hear from you as we have a number of very attractive packages available.

Commonly with married couples or those in a long-term relationship they each have assets in their own name and in joint names (e.g. bank accounts and the family home). This often leads people to think that they can manage the financial affairs of their spouse or partner, or could do if the need arose; however, this is not the case. Unfortunately, should your spouse or partner become unable to manage their affairs themselves, their individual bank accounts are likely to be effectively frozen and you will not be able to deal with organisations on their behalf. What is needed to be able to help To assist with your spouse or partner’s affairs during their lifetime you will need to have been appointed as an Attorney. This means your spouse or partner will need to have made Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) with a specialist solicitor. What happens if I do not have LPAs? Many people need to assist with these matters because their spouse or partner has become unable to manage their affairs themselves. This may be due to physical or mental incapacity, perhaps due to illness or an accident. If you want to help your partner with financial decisions and they did not have Powers of Attorney in place, you would need to make a costly application to the Court to obtain the necessary authority. The Court application takes several months and can be stressful and frustrating for those involved. Two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney LPAs are important documents that allow someone to give people (often close relatives or friends) the authority to make certain decisions on their behalf. There are two types of LPA: Property and Financial Affairs LPA – which allows an attorney to manage and deal with finances and property related matters (such as selling a home). Health and welfare LPA – which allows an attorney to make decisions regarding health and personal welfare. This type of LPA only comes into effect when a person no longer has the capacity to make such decisions themselves. People often think that if necessary, they would be able to make decisions about where their spouse or partner receives care, what type of care they receive and whether or not they should receive life-sustaining treatment. Without an LPA in place, relatives are not able to make these decisions. Discuss Powers of Attorney for yourself or your partner To talk to a local lawyer about Lasting Powers of Attorney, call Holmes & Hills Solicitors and ask to speak with Dean Stanhope, call 012787 275275 or email advice@holmes-hills.co.uk

Since starting in 1984, Hadleigh Rugby Club has been through many highs and lows. From a few players with no matching kit trying to coach others during the games who hadn't played before to being promoted out of Eastern Counties and up the London Leagues. From 6 kids in the youth section to hosting on of the biggest Mini and Youth tournaments in South East England with over 1000 attendees. From beating local rivals Ipswich, Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds, Romford, Shelford and North Walsham to being taken out of Eastern Counties Div 1 and allowed to re-apply to join Eastern Counties Div 6 due to matches not being fulfilled. We now need help again in 2022. Unfortunately, the pandemic and a recent fire at the club have seen personnel (coaches/helpers) and players leave for various reasons. We would like to put an official call out to 'HELP HADLEIGH RUGBY CLUB'. We need helpers for the kitchen, bar, coaching and anywhere else you feel you could contribute. We also need players, both senior, youth and mini's. Now the pandemic is slowly being controlled people are looking to get back to being involved in their community, to go out, to meet new people and to have fun. You can do all this at Hadleigh Rugby Club. Please call Marcus Gallagher (07900 211666) or Neil Farrow (07968 177591) in the first instance. We always try to be a positive 'glass half full' club. Thanks in advance, Hadleigh RFC.

The Stour Valley’s Spanish food shop: “Sibarita” – Spain’s Organic Larder plays its part in World Pulses Day, 2022 Led by the Food and Agriculture organisation of the United Nations, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 2016 as the International Year of Pulses to increase public awareness of the nutritional and environmental benefits of pulses. In 2019, the General Assembly adopted “10th February” as World Pulses Day as part of the UN’s ambitious 15year plan for Sustainable Development, worldwide, to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. Each year, a theme is adopted for World Pulses Day. This year’s theme will be: “Pulses to empower youth in achieving sustainable agrifood systems”, providing employment to rural women and youth in farming communities and to urban families in the manufacturing sector. Spain is, of course, an advanced and successful agricultural economy but, as Sibarita emphasise, it has taken its family-owned producers generations to get to where they are today. Anything that Sibarita can do to promote the benefits of pulses will help grow the pulses market wherever they come from – and, with 39 pulses in its product range, Sibarita’s customers have one of the widest choices in the UK. And we understand that some interesting new pulse products will soon be available together with a number of smaller jars to suit couple and smaller families. Keep an eye on www.sibarita.co.uk for other new products. Sibarita are at an advanced stage of discussions with a long-established producer of jars and cans of tuna and other fish products from the Bay of Biscay region. Also, its amazing producer of spices, salt/pepper and paella products, Carmencita, have introduced some interesting new products which will be added to Sibarita’s already wide-range in the near future. We understand that Sibarita’s “click and collect” option is proving of great interest to customers. Sibarita is also happy to discuss preparing special selections of products as gifts including specially-discounted prices and, if possible, suitable packaging. Whatever is of interest to you, all you need to do is to call Sibarita on 01787 323933 09.00-17.00, Monday to Friday or send an email at any time: hello@sibarita.co.uk

Cycle to improve your brain health and wellbeing Cycling seems to be linked everywhere with maintaining good physical health (as well as saving the planet) but there is plenty of evidence that it helps with brain health and wellbeing. Your brain relies on the flow of oxygen and the more efficient the blood supply to your brain through improved circulation the healthier it is. Exercise also helps the process of building new nerve cells in the brain which protects against memory loss with age. There are also important psychological benefits. Outdoor exercise is a terrific mood enhancer. Endorphins are released and this can stimulate feelings of pleasure. Added to the fact that sunlight helps to release another brain hormone, serotonin; cycling can definitely lift your spirits. Cycling, like most forms of vigorous exercise helps you to sleep and rejuvenate the brain. And good sleep is fundamental to good health. Cycling helps you to maintain your coordination. Just think of all the activities that you perform as you ride a bike: muscle control, concentration, visual awareness and balance. For many, cycling is a social activity. The Hadleigh Cycling Club offers social rides for those who want to spend time with others. The Club rides are usually at a speed that allows members to hold a conversation and most involve a café stop. Hopefully, the experience of riding also helps you to reduce stress levels, relax and clear the mind. The Club runs a social ride on Sundays in the winter which usually begin at 9.00am from The George and there is a café stop. The ride is weather dependant so, if in doubt, check our Facebook page @hadleighcyclingclub or visit www.hadleighcyclingclub.co.uk

The Stour Valley Antiquarian Society SVAS started just after the first World War, the Society was put together by a very diverse group of people including professionals, clergy, farmers, landowners and others. Mostly retired, their aim was to foster new friendships and provide the opportunity for members to appreciate the huge number of fascinating places in the Stour Valley and its surroundings. We've just celebrated our Centenary and are looking for new members to join this friendly group and participate in our programme of excursions. Typically, we meet at a central point near Ipswich, board a comfortable coach and set off to the arranged venue. Visits to a wide variety of places of interest, including 'stately' and private homes, National Trust and Historic England Properties, National Gardens, river cruises and places of historic importance within a two-hour drive, are arranged between May and September. A Buffet Lunch takes place in October and an AGM in April/May, accompanied by a talk, starts the following year's programme of events. This year we shall start by having a party and private view of the refurbished Munnings museum in March and an expedition to the Kelvedon Secret Nuclear Bunker in May.

We had 23 join us for our February walk on a beautiful crisp day and it was a pleasure to welcome lots of new faces. Our March walk on Saturday 12th will again be a circular walk, this time taking a route to the East and North of Hadleigh. Starting in Hadleigh, we will leave Stonehouse Road car park at 0930 and take the Railway walk to Woodlands, then Green Fields, Vauxhall Cottages, White Ladies, Ramsey Wood, Old House, Shooting Box, Wolves Wood and back into Hadleigh along George Street. The walk is about 10.5 miles along moderate terrain but with little in the way of shortening options for anyone wanting a reduced distance. We will have 2 refreshment stops along the way and should arrive back around 1330 – 1400. As usual, we aim to maintain a not-too-demanding 2.5 mph (4 km/hr). Walkers should be aware that in March any weather is possible so strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground will be muddy or rough in places. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us from the website contact page or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 07483 887658.

It’s Serendipity Back in 2002 Serendipity, Hadleigh Choral Society’s smaller choir, performed at its first event, a wedding at Little Glemham church. Since then, the choir has gone from strength to strength and this year celebrates its 20th anniversary. Nansi Browne leads Serendipity and is very proud of its achievements. “In addition to performing our own concerts, we are also invited to sing at weddings, funerals, memorials and other special services. We feel very privileged to be part of such occasions. When a family contact us they often need a little help with the choice of music and its suitability. We can chat over coffee and come up with some ideas. Serendipity is essentially a chamber choir, but we tackle the whole musical range, from Take That to the works of John Rutter or Handel’s Zadok the Priest.” Speaking to Nansi, it is very clear that the heart of Serendipity and its purpose is community and supporting families, particularly when it comes to planning funerals. “With any funeral our primary aim is to swell the singing in church so that bereaved families can get some comfort from hearing their chosen hymns filling every corner of the church and engaging with the congregation. We are happy to be the back-up if a family needs us for the hymns but also perform songs that have a special meaning or evoke happy memories for the family. I remember one particular performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It was very moving and gave everyone in the church a few moments to reflect.” Another part of Serendipity’s real purpose relates to working with the Dementia Action Alliance Group. Prior to the pandemic the choir would join the local group for a sing along which was hugely beneficial for both dementia sufferers and their carers, and very rewarding for the singers as well. “Working with Dementia Action Alliance in Hadleigh was really worthwhile and we hope to pick this up again as the COVID restrictions are lifted. Musical memories stay with us for much longer than other memories. A familiar tune can light up a dementia sufferer and trigger really positive responses.” I chatted with Nansi whilst we both enjoyed a cuppa. Our dogs were becoming restless wanting their dinner as we moved the conversation from the choir to our own musical talents, or lack of them in my case! We said goodbye promising to chat again as we agreed the power of music and its impact on us all, particularly at certain milestones in our lives, was far too big a topic for just one cup of tea. If you would like to know more about Serendipity, or wish to book them for an event, then please contact Nansi Browne: nansi.browne@icloud.com, telephone 07773 034635. Tickets for the Hadleigh Choral Society Spring Concert on Saturday 2nd April at St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh are now available. Visit www.hadleighchoralsociety.org.uk for further details.

Hadleigh Show 2022 With the signs of Spring breaking through planning is well under way for our return in 2022, after a break of 2 years. The show team have been busy planning and preparing to be able to bring the show back in its wonderfully traditional agricultural show format with all of the long standing elements including the flower show, rural crafts, livestock and equine programme, art show, tradestands offering a huge variety of shopping, food hall with producers from the local area set to tempt you with delicious treats alongside our rings full of activities, horses, driving classes, heavy horses and in the main ring the incredible Bolddog Lings FMX display team to wow you with their bravery. This year’s Show Director is Luke Burdall-Goodchild. Luke has been show director for 3 years but due to the pandemic he has had the horrible time of having to make the decision to cancel the show twice. Third time lucky! Look for Luke’s two lovely boys on the advertising materials. The cookery demo is back this year with Mark David of The Cooking Experience at the helm. As a Hadleigh based business Mark will have a team local chefs and food producers with him throughout the day. A chance to sit and watch them making mouth-watering food and perhaps taste it as well! There are more than 150 classes of cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses on show; over 160 trade stands; the Poultry Tent; the Art Exhibition and Sale; Rural Crafts and the Flower Tent. The Flower Tent theme this year is “2022 Floral Calendar” which will be a fantastic show. Stocks Fairground will also be in Hadleigh for the weekend of the Show. They are open Friday evening until 10pm, during the Show on Saturday and on Sunday afternoon to midday to 5pm. Our ever-popular Food Hall will once again showcase local food and drink producers with new local businesses on show as well as long standing exhibitors. 2 Food Court areas will provide lunch for all the family with a huge range of food on offer. For the 2022 show the main change is that ALL TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE. There will be no tickets available to buy on the gates. This is to give us a show that can be planned to accommodate any changes needed should there be any covid restrictions reintroduced and to ensure that we can plan our travel management as much as is possible prior to the day. Parking is FREE; gates open at 8.00am. HFAA is a registered Charity and has been in existence since 1839. We run a Schools Project for local Primary schools as well as supporting many local and farming charities. We hope to see many of you at the show, to bring our local communities back together, to celebrate all that is great about the local area and british agriculture and to finally be able to meet again. Please don’t forget to book your tickets in ADVANCE!

Sudbury Symphony Orchestra Concert in Lavenham Church Sudbury Symphony Orchestra is delighted to announce that their next concert will be on Sunday 27th March at 6 pm in Lavenham Church when we will be performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto with Thomas Isaac as soloist and Malcolm Arnold’s Symphony No. 5. Originally the Elgar Cello Concerto with Thomas Isaac was going to be performed in March 2020 but this concert was cancelled due to covid so it is great news that he is now able to perform it now with us. This is the third time that Thomas Isaac will have performed with the orchestra, the last time was in 2017 when he riveted the audience with his wonderful performance of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto. Thomas is co-principal cellist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra having finished his post graduate studies with the Royal Academy of Music. He has also performed in Radio 3 concerts, in the Shanghai International Cello Festival, the Wigmore Hall and many other prestigious venues. Elgar’s cello concerto is one of THE cello concertos, in fact with the Dvorak concerto it is probably the most performed of all cello concertos. Elgar started composing it in 1918 and finished it in 1919. It is a lament for a lost world, haunted by autumn sadness. Beloved by audiences the world over for its sweeping and noble passages this will be a magical start to the evening. Malcolm Arnold’s music is better known than most people realise as not only did he compose many works for orchestra but he also wrote for the theatre, the ballet and he wrote the scores for more than 100 films, including Bridge on the River Kwai, Thin Red Line, and David Copperfield. His style of music is unapologetically tuneful, very rhythmic with exciting and brilliant orchestration. His 5th symphony is an emotional rollercoaster from the opening oboe solo and evocations of past friends through to the wonderfully memorable tunes of the 2nd movement, the jazz rhythms of the 3rd movement and then the 4th movement with its many exciting mood changes. For this work we have assembled our largest orchestra ever, including a harp, a celeste, three percussion players and a full set of trombones and a tuba. The church will be filled with sound. This symphony is not often played so this is a wonderful opportunity to hear it performed live. The concert is at 6pm on Sunday 27th March in St Peter and St Paul’s Church Lavenham with doors opening from 5.30. Tickets are £15 for adults, £2 for children and are available from early March from the Guildhall in Lavenham, Peddars (King Street, Sudbury) and Sudbury Tourist Information (library). For ticket or any concert enquiries please email: info@sudburysymphonyorchestra.com A limited number of tickets will be available on the door

MOTHER’S DAY CARDS Various designs available
I’ve just been offered a new job and now I need to tell my current employer. The new company wants me to start as soon as possible. The problem is, we’re already a bit short-staffed where I am now and I don’t know how soon I’ll be allowed to leave. How should I bring all this up with my boss? Congratulations on your new role. It can feel awkward telling your current employer you’re moving on. The time between telling your employer you’ve found a new position and you actually leaving is known as your notice period. If you’ve been in your current job for less than a month, you won’t have to give any notice period (unless your contract says otherwise). If it’s more than a month, you’ll have to give at least one week’s notice. Your contract should make it clear exactly how long is expected. If you don’t have a contract, and your employer has no written record of you agreeing to a notice period, you should give at least one week’s notice. It’s worth waiting until your new employer has confirmed your employment, for example by giving you a start date before handing in your resignation. It’s then best to resign in writing (email is fine), so that you have a record of the date you told your employer. On the Citizens Advice website, www.citizensadvice.org.uk we have a page on handing in your notice with tips on how to write this letter. You can work a longer notice than the one in your contract if you want to agree it with your employer. If you’re keen to move on sooner rather than later, it may also be possible to negotiate a shorter notice period than your contract says. If you want to go down this route, it can be useful to reassure your current employer that you will tackle any urgent work before finishing. Fixed-term contracts are a bit different, as you won’t need to give notice if you intend to leave on the last day of contract. Leaving early would usually mean giving at least one week’s notice, unless your contract says otherwise. Don’t forget about your holiday days during your notice period. If you have unused paid holiday you should speak to your employer about either taking these during the notice period or being paid for them. Finally, sometimes people can change their mind about moving jobs or find their circumstances alter. If this happens to you, you should speak to your current employer to see what the options are and if you can stay in your current role. Everyone’s situation is different, but if you face any challenges with an existing or potential employer, contact Sudbury & District Citizens Advice for advice and information. We are providing advice by telephone and email Monday – Thursday, 10am – 1pm. Please phone 01787 321400 and leave a message and someone will call you back when available. We will attempt three times to call you back, so please expect a call from a withheld number. Alternatively, contact us via email at advice@sudburycab.org.uk or by using the contact facility on our website, https://www.sudburycab.org.uk/contact

French’s Care Haven Hello to our readers, we had two people come forward that may possibly help with putting our shed up for us. At the moment nothing has come of that, but I am hoping in next month’s issue I will be able to show you a photo of some progress being made, or that it is up. Please if there is anyone out there who could help us, give me a call on the number below, because help putting it up along with some fencing is still needed. I keep saying to myself, surely with all the folk in this area there must be a man who knows what he is doing and can spare us some of his time?? Next month keep a look out on our Facebook page or on our website for the date of our next quiz night that we are planning for the spring. Sorry I cannot give the date in this edition, as our meeting for future events is after deadline day. Our last quiz in November was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Essex University have come back on board with us again and are sending students over once a week. I keep saying you must wear wellies because of all the mud, but half come in their shoes, which is not a good look for them when they leave the farm, oh dear washing machine needed! It is lovely to see the students working with the animals and doing the physical jobs that you cannot avoid, when working on a farm with large animals. It is a good experience for them to experience what it entails running an animal rescue. French's beautiful boy Hercules our cat has sadly lost his fight with a brain tumour. The Tumour was diagnosed last Autumn, but was inoperable. Hercs was 18 years old and has spent 16 years with our charity at French's. In this time 4 years ago, he had retired and come home with me, I loved him so very much and Lucy my therapy dog for French’s was his best friend and companion. I have been overcome by emotion and heartbroken at the loss of my beautiful boy, who was a fighter until the end. Tears are streaming down my face as I write this, it was only 2 days ago he died. God be with you my big handsome beautiful boy. Here is a photo of Hercules relaxing on his favourite garden seat. I need to pull myself together....On a happier note, I would like to give a thank you to Boxford Drama Group for their donation of £150. Every penny donated to us goes straight towards the daily upkeep of the care and management of our animals. Donations keep us going, without them we would not be here. Please think of us if you run an organisation or are able to help financially. Above is a photo of Ruby who did her Duke of Edinburgh awards with us, standing with Lady our Shetland. French’s is a charity on your doorstep, can you help, either with time, donations, or sponsorship. You are welcome to come along and meet our animals. Call me for an appointment.

Hadleigh & District Flower Club Meeting for the first time in 2022, the members enjoyed a demonstration and talk by David Wright from Norfolk. His foliage and flowers were a delight. He found himself without work during the Covid lockdown but managed to enjoy cycle rides around his local area, wildlife watching, making containers, learning to demonstrate on Zoom, teaching himself and others how to make animals out of chicken wire. And once having completed his 6th arrangement, we were treated to a hare and some dragonflies. Next month we have Pat Barton demonstrating. If you would like to join us, we meet on the second Tuesday of each month at The Hadleigh United Reformed Church, Market Place, Hadleigh 7:00 for 7:30 start, all welcome.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club For our February meeting we were pleased to welcome Paula Baker from Suffolk Prickles Hedgehog Rescue. Her vast knowledge was so informative, going back to the age of Dinosaurs. The sad fact is that modern day life is pushing this cute creature towards extinction. The rescue centre deals with horrible injuries and sadly deaths from hazardous waste in the environment to busy roads. Hedgehogs do no harm but a lot of good…eating our garden pests. Let’s try and welcome these charming characters into our gardens by leaving a few untidy corners. Over the past few years there have been many changes in the way we garden. For instance when I first grew runner beans on the allotment, a trench was dug, large amounts of compost were put in then filled in and runner bean plants grown on top. Now the compost is piled in and beans planted in this. It does not seem to affect the size of the crop and is a lot less work. Likewise no dig is the buzz word. Copious amounts of compost is added to the ground and left for the worms to integrate into the soil. Gardening magazines praise this method and I find it works. When I first had my allotment my neighbour was a massive fan of double digging. This involved digging a trench two spits deep, barrowing the soil to the other end of the plot, adding manure to bottom of the trench, then turning the next row into the first. Continuing this process until the row of saved soil is reached. Very hard work and now considered unnecessary. It is all about leaving the soil undisturbed and allowing soil life to do the work for you. Fungi, worms and other organisms thrive leaving the soil well aerated. When you stop digging you stop exposing weed seed from the light and air so fewer weeds germinate. Another change has been widespread use of mycorrhizal fungi when planting shrubs etc whether pot grown or bare rooted. Sprinkle around roots when planting and this spurs plant to produce more roots quickly. It’s not cheap, but it works. It is our AGM on March 14 at 7.30 in the Guildhall..but I promise this will be kept as brief as possible. We will be taking annual membership of £12. Following this we have an amusing speaker entitled “I wish I’d known before I started” - various gardening tales which will be light hearted. The competition is a vase of daffodils with foliage , plus the raffle and refreshments. Happy gardening

Hopefully, the PPG had its last Zoom meeting in January. We are looking forward to a face 2 face gathering in March. We now have two sub groups to work on two new initiatives; one to update our terms of reference which haven’t been done for quite some time and the other to improve patient access to the online appointment booking facilities. The Practice is undertaking the vaccination of vulnerable 5 to 11 year olds but the uptake has been poor. So far there has been no further news on the vaccination of healthy 5 to 11 year olds. The Health Centre’s Medical Team GP’s no longer work alone. There are many other specialists supporting their efforts to give the best possible service to their patients but who are they and what is their function? The following titles and job descriptions should help you better understand their role within the Practice. General Practitioner (GPs): General Practitioners (GP’s) are Doctors who look after patients within the communities where they live. They are often the first point of contact for anyone with a physical or mental health problem. They treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment. They focus on the health of the whole person combining physical, psychological and social aspects of care. GP’s are part of a much wider team whose role includes promoting, preventing and initiating treatment. They look after patients with chronic illness and do their best to ensure that they are as well as they can be so that they can continue living in their own home. Advanced Nurse Practitioners: Advanced Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses who have completed extra training and academic qualifications. They are able to clinically assess, diagnose, refer and treat patients who come with undiagnosed or undifferentiated problems. Advanced Nurse Practitioners are highly-trained health professionals that can undertake complex reviews of patients, similar to GPs. They can assess symptoms and build a picture of a patient’s condition, treat minor health problems, infections, minor injuries and prescribe medication where necessary. Practice Nurses: Much of their work involves managing the care of patients with long-term conditions and running a wide range of extended service clinics in the Practice including monitoring of long-term conditions such as asthma, diabetes and hypertension, cytology services, smoking cessation and childhood & travel vaccinations. Clinical Pharmacist: Clinical pharmacists are increasingly working as part of general practice teams. They are highly qualified experts in medicines and can help people in a range of ways. This includes carrying out structured medication reviews for patients with ongoing health problems and improving patient safety, outcomes and value through a person-centred approach. Health Care Assistants: The role of the Health Care Assistant can vary. They often provide assistance to the GPs and Nurses, as well as undertaking routine tasks such as phlebotomy, blood pressure, weight measurements for long-term conditions clinics, ECGs, suture removal and some injections. Phlebotomists: The role of the Phlebotomist is to take blood samples from patients which is then sent to the laboratory for testing. Blood tests have a wide range of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test.
Whatfield Carpet Bowls Club With league fixtures still to be decided for the future, the club enjoyed a friendly competitive match with Elmsett Carpet Bowls Club in January. Elmsett finished winners by 6-4. Several members enjoyed trips to Potters for the World Bowls Championship in January having missed out in 2021 because of government restrictions allowing no audience participation. Members were in February catching up on one of their own club trophies together with weekly practice meetings. The semi-final and final of the Phil Heathcote Trophy was held on the 15th February with the award going to Robin Beard, runner up was Alan Seabrook. The presentation was followed by light refreshments amongst members. Anyone interested in finding out more about carpet bowls, we meet at 7.30pm on Tuesdays at Whatfield Village Hall.

The Black Death in Suffolk Professor Mark Bailey to speak at Hadleigh Society Meeting, 8pm, Wednesday 23rd March Interested in history and in learning more about the Black Death in Suffolk? Then do come along to the next meeting of the Hadleigh Society when Professor Mark Bailey will be talking about this major pandemic of the 14th century.

Mark Bailey is one of the foremost medieval historians in the country and Professor of Late Medieval History at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of numerous publications; the latest entitled After the Black Death. The Hadleigh Society is delighted to host such a prestigious speaker and looks forward to welcoming Hadleigh’s history enthusiasts to this special meeting. The talk, at 8pm on Wednesday 23rd March, will be in the Guildroom of the Guildhall – accessible via the door opening onto the churchyard (across from St Mary’s church).

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre At last we are all back at work. It’s so great to see the riders again, and their families, we just long for the very last restriction to be lifted. We shouldn’t have people in the yard who are not volunteers. This stops many of our riders from untacking, grooming or just cuddling the ponies. The ponies tell me they really miss this face to face experience. However, in Lyn’s lovely photo you can see Amelia is having a chat with Squidgy before her ride. Omicron has swept through our school pupil riders and their families so each day brings cancellations and disappointments, and the Coaches have a time of it re-arranging the lesson plans. It must be like trying to run an actual school? Our thoughts are with you Teachers! When people apply to ride with us I get to meet them first. This makes my job very interesting. Since no two people are the same (like us horses) great care is taken to fit the new arrival into a group that has space for them. Not only that, but there has to be a pony of suitable size to carry them. New-comers are assessed by two of our volunteers who invite the rider to try me out! That way they are not being asked to brave a live animal straight away, and our volunteers can assess the person’s capabilities and needs. Win, win! The only trouble is that sometimes people have to wait quite a time for the chosen space or pony to become available. Once the weather gets warmer the offer of coming up to the yard for tea with a pony will be made, and we hope this will alleviate the frustration of being in such a long queue. See how good it was to have the afternoon sun shining on a Monday ride one cold day last month. We really are so grateful to our volunteers for coming up on their chosen day come rain or shine. I think they must love it here, I hope they don’t just come for the cake?

Sudbury Dramatic Society – A Bunch Of Amateurs Sudbury Dramatic Society is once again back on track, after the postponement of the Quay Christmas pantomime, and is working hard on the March 2022 Quay Theatre production, A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, which is on at The Quay from Tuesday 1st to Saturday 5th March at 7.45pm Washed-up Hollywood star, Jefferson Steel is deceived by his agent into playing King Lear at, or he so he believes, Stratford Upon Avon. He slowly realises that he is actually about to play with an amateur company in the small English town of Stratford St Mary with an enthusiastic and passionate group of people who are working hard to save their theatre and are hoping a famous face can swell their coffers. Expecting a suite at a fancy hotel, the Hollywood actor finds himself lodging in a bed and breakfast and expected to perform Shakespeare in a barn. The arrogant, demanding actor, once top of the Hollywood A list, struggles with the ignominy of it all. The play shows the comical, jealous and adoring efforts of the group as they slowly get under Jefferson’s skin and start to change his outlook on life. A Bunch of Amateurs leads up to some small sections of Shakespeare’s King Lear being performed by the cast in full costume on a cobbled together set, which the audience see gradually taking shape during the play. A Bunch of Amateurs is directed by Belinda Hasler, who had to postpone the production from November 2020 due to the pandemic, and is delighted to finally be ‘all systems go’ with an excellent cast, ready for a March production! A Bunch of Amateurs is on at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday 1st to Friday 5th March at 7.45pm and tickets are available from The Quay Theatre Box Office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.com or via www.sudburydramatic.com.

RETAIL MOTOR INDUSTRY FEDERATION
Curriculum Enhancement Activities This Month: Tuesday 8th February was Safer Internet Day. The children watched a special assembly and took part in some internet safety activities. Ruby and Emerald class watched the story of Digi Duck and the Magic castle. A story about taking care online and not being tricked into spending real money when playing online and what to do if it happens. A relationship rings activity followed where they thought about different relationships in their lives and how much trust they should place in each one. Key stage 2 watched an assembly exploring respect and relationships online. They talked about what respect online should look like, what we should do if we are made to feel uncomfortable and how we should treat others when playing online. They then took part in a Safer Internet Day quiz with scenarios where they had to choose what to do. The children also designed a character that would appear in a game to give players helpful advice about how to be respectful when using the game chat. Tech We Can - Tech for Fun: We looked at careers involving tech that created things that are fun, such as rollercoasters and gaming consoles. We also looked at tech-based careers that could be made fun by the environment such as Apple and Google offices. The children watched a video about the history of gaming which took them back to the first ever computer game which was invented in 1940 called the Nimah Tron and the first ever gaming console invented in 1968; the Magnavox Odyssey. They then had the opportunity for some fun with tech themselves as they tried out two apps, Quiver and Figment AR. Quiver is an app that allowed them to bring their colouring in to life and Figment AR brought creatures and other effects into the room with them through augmented reality. The whole school took part in a Multi Skills activity program organised by Ipswich and South Suffolk Games and Ipswich Borough Council. Years 5 and 6 attended training to become leaders for the activities and to be able to carry out activities in school each week for the younger children to try to improve their results. The rest of the school took part in a number of fitness challenges and recorded their progress, so they can note improvement – we have a progress board in school to note all the results on as well. In addition, pupils are recording activities they take part in out of school. We have a healthy inspiration chart in school with ideas and a link for walks in local parks in Ipswich to support this. Pupils have a passport to record activities, once they get to Bronze level, they will receive a certificate and reward. This continues to Silver and Gold with prizes at the different levels.

Our first event in two years will offer a wide variety of stalls, crafts, flowers and plants, raffle, Jeanette's Terrific Tombola, yummy homemade cakes and snacks. Expect a warm welcome from all of us including Frank Payne who will be selling and signing copies of his autobiographical books. Our Octogenarian has led an interesting life with plenty of tales to tell, from Blitztorn London, to National Service and onto careers in journalism and football. Speaking of sport, the Nayland 10K family-friendly fun event takes place on Sunday 10th July, starting at Little Garth School, Nayland, CO6 4JR. Once again, SESAW is one of the charities benefitting from this extremely popular, multi-terrain run through the beautiful Constable countryside.

That reminds me, it’s time for my daily run around the garden now the grass is dry.

Lavenham Carpet Bowls Club We were sad to hear that Ernie Spouge, a former Chairman of the Carpet Bowls Club, passed away as 2022 was dawning. His wake was well attended and our thoughts are with Nonnie and his family. The Club is getting back to fairly normal play and our membership is going towards pre-pandemic numbers, mainly thanks to current members bringing friends and neighbours along. We have scheduled our first Annual General Meeting since before the Pandemic, to give everyone an update on how the Club is doing, and to discuss any ideas members might have. Two members, Mike Parnell and John Greatorex, have set up an Internal League, which will run throughout the year.This will give everyone who wishes too, the opportunity to play other members of the Club in a singles format. We have also restarted playing friendly matches with other local clubs, albeit without, at present, our renown buffet. So lots to look forward to and new members are still welcome, so if you think it is something you might enjoy, come along and have a look. The Club sessions are at Lavenham Village Hall on Wednesday 2pm until 4.30pm and Thursday7.30pm until 10pm, and we recommend arriving 15 minutes before each session. Your first two sessions are free to see how you like Carpet Bowls. We look forward to seeing you. Marilyn Beatham – Club Secretary

Farewell to Terry It is with a very heavy heart that we have said farewell to a larger-than-life character and past Hadleigh Rugby Club hooker, Terry (Smiffy) Smith. Terry’s wife Caroline and his boys will have a massive whole in their lives now he’s gone but will also have a deep mine of great memories to draw from. As will we at the club. I went to Hadleigh High School with Terry and he always said after leaving school, if he hadn’t found rugby he would probably have been in prison. He said that rugby saved him and coincidently Hadleigh Rugby Club were the beneficiaries of a personality that created brotherhood, laughter and an endless supply of anecdotes.

To quote former team captain Kev Parker, he was “Tough as teak” and “it was always a pleasure to cross the whitewash with T by your side and go to war for 80 minutes”. In times of intense battle on the pitch he used to break the tension when he did his infamous ‘Goose Step’ to try and fool the opposition as to which way he was going to sprint yet everyone knowing that he would simply smash into the nearest guy anyway! Apart from his rugby exploits he was a gifted bricklayer and worked for a while in Germany just like the “Aufwiedersehen Pet” characters we used to know. When he wasn’t building houses, Terry being Terry, he also helped me and a lot of team mates and friends with brickwork around our homes as well. That’s the sort of guy he was. Terry was widely known around Hadleigh and in his youth, he was a keen fisherman. He got to know a lot of the local farmers by regularly being caught on their land ‘trying out a pond’! Also like an old fisherman, Terry liked a good yarn. You could always find him, and hear his gruff voice, in a local hostelry entertaining a group around him for a beer or two. Towns, schools and clubs need characters like Terry. Without the ‘Terrys’ in this world it would be a very dull place. We will all forever miss him but we will all have the odd moment smiling thinking about him. Neil Farrow, President, Hadleigh Rugby Club
