A showcase for crafts & produce!

Bildeston’s first indoor market held recently at Chamberlin Hall was a great success, with a large variety of stalls selling locally-produced crafts, cards, jewellery, cakes and pickles to mention just a few. It really is the place to go to find that perfect gift or to decorate your home with some unique items.

Face-painting ensured that the children were kept entertained too! The event kicked off in the morning and ran through lunch, so refreshments were in high demand. Indoors there was plenty of seating for people to enjoy teas, coffees, ice creams and scones. However, given the lovely weather, many people opted for some al fresco dining by selecting an outside table overlooking the bowls green - here they could enjoy freshly-cooked food from the BBQ and a drink from the bar which conveniently opened in time for lunch. The perfect way to spend a Saturday lunchtime.

The committee of Chamberlin Hall would like to thank everyone who came along to support this event.

For those of you that were unable to make it, we hope that you can make one of our forthcoming markets as this is set to become a monthly fixture in our event calendar. The next market is Saturday 7th July at 9.30am. To find out more, or if you are a stall-holder interested in getting involved, please contact our bookings Secretary Debbie Bailey on 01449 740375.

Forthcoming market dates: Saturday 7 July, Saturday 7 August, Saturday 1 September, Saturday 13 October, Saturday 10 November, Saturday 8 December.

Hadleigh’s 4th Annual Cycling Sportive Hadleigh Cycling Club will be running the fourth annual Gayford Flyer on Sunday, 2nd September 2018. The Gayford Flyer is a noncompetitive cycle sportive. There are two signed rides of 62 miles (100km) and 31 miles (50km). Full details and the story of Oswald Gayford can be found at www.hadleighcyclingclub.co.uk.

Entry is via the British Cycling website (www.britishcycling.org.uk ) and the last day for entering is Sunday, 26th August. There is no entry on the day. Riders pay £12.50 to enter and helmets are compulsory.

“Last year’s sportive was fantastic”, said Mike Motteram, Chairman of Hadleigh Cycling Club. “Most of the riders and their families stayed around and enjoyed refreshments and live music at The George.” British Cycling said that the Flyer “was a super event, well thought through, well executed and very enjoyable to be part of.” Our Cycling Club is anxious to offer the broadest range of opportunities for local folk to enjoy cycling. We want to attract the “super fit” and the “less than super fit”. During the summer we have rides on Mondays, Thursday, some Saturdays and Sunday. Why not try our Sunday morning social rides from the George starting at 8am, with a guaranteed café stop, weather permitting. Adults and “capable children accompanied by an adult” are all welcome. The distance is around 25 miles.

The Chiropractic Clinic Sudbury Dr Eilidh Maher first decided to follow a career in chiropractic after becoming interested in the benefit that it gave to her and her family when she was younger. She initially completed a degree in Economics but later re-trained as a Chiropractor at the Anglo European Chiropractic College in Bournemouth.

Eilidh began her career in a Sudbury based clinic in 2009 and worked there for 8 years. In September of last year, she set up on her own, establishing The Chiropractic Clinic Sudbury. The clinic is located within the South Suffolk Business Centre, off Alexandra Road in Sudbury.

The new premises offers good car parking and accessibility for all. There is a bright and welcoming reception area where you will be greeted by one of her friendly receptionists. At the clinic, we welcome everyone from infants suffering with colic to all ages upwards. We offer treatments for a range of musculoskeletal problems including, joint pain, headaches, sciatica and sports injuries.

We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic!

"I have suffered from chronic migraine for the past three years. Having tried numerous migraine medications in hope something would relieve my symptoms and getting no where, my life was getting morbidly desperate.

Having migraine so severely sometimes kept me in bed for days, not being able to eat or keep any food down and trying to work around them has been almost impossible....until I met Eilidh Maher. This lady has literally changed my life! I call her 'my angel.'

When migraine strikes, I visit Eilidh at her Chiropractic surgery with the worst symptoms and I can honestly say I walk out without them!....I cannot recommend Eilidh, highly enough”.

Rights of a father in separation or divorce?

In most situations, when a relationship comes to an end it will be in the best interests for any children to still maintain contact with both parents. In an ideal situation, both the father and the mother will be able to agree the amount of contact without the courts involvement, however, if this cannot be agreed the courts will intervene.

A father has a right to contact with their children and the court deem the parents the best people to make the decision regarding how much contact each parent should have. The only exception to this would be in specific cases where previous behaviour on the part of a parent may indicate otherwise.

There are no rules regarding the minimum amount of contact that the father is entitled to, with many families choosing to allow the father contact one night a week and alternative weekends (Friday through to Sunday). This is obviously determined in line with what suits the family best and considerations such as the mother and fathers working hours and distance from each other need to be factored into account.

What if an agreement can’t be reached?

In instances where the amount of contact cannot be agreed, getting guidance from a Family Law solicitor may be necessary and doing this is a recommended first step. The court may insist on both parents attending mediation in order for an agreement to be reached. However, in the event mediation cannot take place, or is unsuccessful and the courts need to determine how much contact a father should have, this can be far more complex with a number of factors having to be considered. It is at this point that any explicit wishes of the child may be taken into consideration, subject to the age/maturity of the child.

The father’s role in making decisions Regardless of the amount of contact the father has each week with the child/children, if the father has parental responsibility then the father is still legally entitled to be involved in key decisions about the child’s future, for example, the choice of school or where they should receive medical care.

These decisions would need to be made jointly alongside the mother who would also have parental responsibility.

In most situations of divorce or separation proceedings, a father will have parental responsibility. This includes where the mother and father were married, or if they were not married but the father is named on the birth certificate and the child was born after 1st December 2003.

We have all been experiencing the high and the lows of the World Cup, Wimbledon, Rugby, races at Ascot and Goodwood. An over indulgence of sport, one might say. Others say “I cannot wait to get back to normal” Whatever your view it has given us something else to talk about besides the weather and Brexit. Some people find it very difficult to get enthusiastic about anything. Everything looks very grey and bleak in their life. Spare a thought for these people. Our healers try to help those who feel isolated and depressed. We have not always got all the answers to a particular problem but we do listen. Knowing someone who will listen to you helps so much when you cannot help yourself.

If you feel like this ring for an appointment 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org and let us listen to you.

Graded Ofsted ‘Good’ 2018, SIAMS ‘Outstanding’ 2016.

We are pleased to say that our new website has been developed, and will go live in the next few weeks, so interested readers can keep up with some of the events and activities we do as a school. We have worked hard to make the website attractive, and full of the sort of information prospective parents may find useful.

Eagle eyed readers may also have noticed that we, along with some other local schools, have been granted lottery funding for extending the play facilities at Whatfield School. We are looking forward to an enhanced environment for EYFS, and new challenge to our trim trail for the older pupils. The work will be completed by the end of June.

As a ‘gold’ Sportsmark school, we are involved with a lot of sporting activities. As such, we have been pleased to get involved with the small schools festival at Elmsett, where our U11 football team were 2nd overall, played well and really enjoyed the occasion! A year 5/6 team from Whatfield also had a fantastic time at Quad kids where pupils participated in running throwing and jumping activities whilst representing Tanzania, and then met a real commonwealth Heptathlete!

The cricket season is upon us, and we have had the chance to send a team to play at Westbourne as well as at Hadleigh High School. We are very proud of one pupil in particular, who has been chosen to represent Suffolk in cricket.

Good luck with all your games Matthew! Our successful U11 gymnasts are going through to the county finals next week in Bury St Edmunds, wearing their sparkly new leotards, so we wish them good luck.

Our Father’s day lunch was a delicious affair, with food sent up from our kitchen at Bildeston, and was very well attended with lots of adult meals served. The children had great fun sharing their playtime with parents!

Whatfield School had a fantastic experience as part of The Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds ‘Once Upon A Festival’ last week. The school were spellbound as they watched the amazing production ’Found’ in the village hall. During the afternoon pupils followed up the ideas from the dance production as they were involved in workshops.

This was funded through a bequest from Mona Bruce, a founder of the Whatfield Players, and is a pot of money the school will use to support drama productions and visits in her memory.

We always have lots of exciting activities to look forward to, and as always, if you would like to visit us and have a look round our lovely school you are very welcome.

Suffolk Bereavement Support – When grief is unacknowledged In recent weeks we’ve been reflecting on what happens to us if grief is unacknowledged. According to many experts ‘every bereaved person is entitled to grieve when he or she needs or chooses to and in a manner in which they choose and denial of this can often lead to a variety of psychological and physical issues’.

So often however society does not allow us the space to acknowledge or express what we are feeling about our loss. Life is hurried and our family, friends and work colleagues often want us to return to ‘normal’. When we can’t do this, it is easy to feel there something wrong with us and to suffer in silence and this can be unbearable! In actual fact our reactions are perfectly normal and grieving is as natural as crying when we are hurt. And this is how Suffolk Bereavement Support can help because our groups provide the opportunity to understand and to express how we feel in a supportive group setting and can and do contribute to recovery for our members. And it’s not all gloomy, we generally succeed in bringing some humour to the situation!

If this blog is meaningful for you in connection with a bereavement, be it recent or further back in time then why not come and join a Suffolk Bereavement Support group? We are here to help! Our afternoon group is held in central Hadleigh on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 1.30pm-3.00pm and our Capel St. Mary group meets in the early evening on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 6.30pm-8.00pm. Each meeting finishes with refreshments and informal chat. We would love to hear from you if you would like to join us at any time.

Burstall’s Flower Show, Fete & Dog Show Saturday 4th August The Americans are Coming!

On Saturday 4th August Burstall will be hosting a party of Americans at their 65th Annual Show. The group from Missouri will be rounding off their holiday in England with a little bit of rural, Suffolk culture in the form of this very traditional village show. The format of Burstall’s show has hardly changed since the 1950s although bowling for the pig and the smell from the goats have gone! What is still to be enjoyed are the displays of garden produce, baking, flower arranging and craft in the marquee. The fete includes the ever-popular coconut shy and tombola, races and tug of war and this year there will be entertainment from the Ipswich Hospital Band, West Trafalgar Morris Dancers and Punch and Judy.

Burstall’s catering comes highly recommended with a lunchtime salad buffet, cream teas and lots of homemade cake served in the village hall plus an alfresco barbecue. With a Fun Dog Show too this is definitely an afternoon out for all the family including the dog! Loads of free parking and no entry fee.

Lunches will be served from noon and entertainment from 1.30 pm in Burstall IP8 3DR. More info on www.burstall.onesuffolk.net

Lavenham Sinfonia Lavenham Sinfoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last concert will be on September 23th at Lavenham Church. It is a celebration of music from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Baroqueâ&#x20AC;?.

What does this term mean? The Baroque is a period of history between the early 1600â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and about 1750 which saw quite dramatic developments in Architecture, art & sculpture and in music. It is closely linked to changes caused by the Reformation and Counter-Reformation taking place across Europe at that time.

In music it led to huge experimentation with new musical forms and different combinations of instruments. It saw the birth of the orchestra as we know it.

The music was quite lyrical and gradually more emotional in nature but clearly structured into a number of shorter movements. If you are not familiar with music from the period this is a great opportunity to hear works from the Baroque periods 3 greatest exponents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bach, Handel and Telemann.

The concert will open with the exuberant Suite in D major by Georg Philipp Telemann brilliantly scored for oboes strings and continuo, it is an exciting piece showing the individual groups of instruments at their virtuoso best.

Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest and most prolific composers of this era. This Church Cantata â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ich Habe Genugâ&#x20AC;? was part of Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge output of Church music required by his position as Cantor to the Thomasschule of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. He composed it in 1727 and it was performed for the feast of the Purification of Mary in the same year.

We welcome back Mark Saberton as the Baritone soloist in the Cantata. Mark will be remembered for his recent fantastic performance in Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9th Symphony in September 2017.

George Frederick Handel was the other great master of the Baroque period, perhaps best known for his Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks he also composed a great deal of Church music and Oratorios the best known of which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Messiahâ&#x20AC;?. Jephtha composed in 1751 was his last and perhaps most dramatic and telling the story of Jephtha as laid out in Chapter 11 of Judges in the Old Testament. In this concert the Sinfonia are playing the opening Overture and Sinfonia.

The final work is again by Bach and the last of his 4 orchestral suites. It was composed in 1730. The suite is brilliantly scored for trumpets and timpani, Oboes, bassoon as strings and is in 5 movements an opening Ouverture, Bouree, Gavotte, Menuet and a final Rejouissance.

The whole concert is a great introduction to music of the period and with the orchestra being led by Jeremy Hughes who is a strong exponent of Baroque style of music it promises to be fantastic evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do not miss it.

Tickets are available from Lavenham Guildhall Shop, Lavenham Tourist Office or Compact Music in Sudbury. Details of the Sinfonia can be found on the website www.Lavenham-sinfonia .org

News from Kersey School Squirrels (Reception) Squirrels arrived back at school to find that a dinosaur had left an egg in our classroom! We have been taking care of the egg creating a nest and looking carefully to see when (and if!) it will ever hatch! We will continue to learn facts about dinosaurs and create our own class nonfiction book. We have also started our Forest School sessions at Bridges Farm this half term. Already the children have enjoyed creating bows and arrows, building dens and hunting for bugs.

Hedgehogs (Years 1 and 2) Hedgehogs have had a busy start to the summer. On Mondays we are taking part in Forest Schools sessions at Bridge's farm. We have had great fun so far building dens; making bows and arrows; and looking for minibeasts. Our topic this half term is 'Oceans and Seas'. On Wednesday 13th June we went to Harwich and visited the lighthouses, the fort and the RNLI lifeboat station. We also enjoyed some time on the beach where we collected shells, made sand castles and even turned ourselves into mermaids! To link in with our topic we have been learning the names of the world's oceans, learning about some famous explorers and we even made our own lighthouses.

Badgers (Years 3 and 4) Vive la France!!! We have had great fun in researching and learning about the French Revolution by using both the internet and knowledge that some of us already had.In DT we are developing our designing skills by using both wood and cardboard to create a working toy. As a class we are excited for our Arts Festival at the end of June. We will be showcasing our ukulele skills, as well as performing 'Touch the Sky' from Brave. We have chosen that song as it talks about empowering yourself and chasing your dream no matter how big or small it is. In our Literacy lesson we are writing our own adventure stories, but the catch is they can only be 100 words long. However the winners of this competition will be published in a real book!

Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls class have spent this week on their residential at ‘African Adventure’ where they have taken part in a huge range of activities.

They have all had a fantastic week.

Hadleigh Walkers Our walk on Saturday 14th July will start and end at Bures. The walk is quite a long one but well worth the effort. Called locally “The Dragon Walk” it is one of our favourites. Our route from Bures will be Fysh House Farm, Highfields Farm, Dead Lane Track to Farthing Hall, the St Edmunds Way to Wissington and back to Bures on the Stour Valley Path via Wormingford. The route is about 11 miles and we will take it easy to admire the views. We will have at least one stop so we suggest you bring a small snack and definitely something to drink if the weather looks like being hot. The walk will take around 4½ hours so we should be back at the cars by around 2pm. We will meet at 0930 in the Bures village hall car park on Nayland Road which is a sharp left turn where High Street becomes Bridge Street. The car park is a short distance down Nayland Road on the RHS. Email me for a map. If anyone needs a lift from Hadleigh please email me and I’ll try my best to put you in touch with a driver.

If there are any changes to the route following our recce they will be put up on the website. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground can be muddy and rough in places at any time of the year. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site.

For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us at hadleighwalkers@gmail.com or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 07483 887658

This certiďŹ cate is funded by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) for the purpose of assisting James Cartlidge MP in the performance of his Parliamentary duties. Printed by Keith Avis, 68 High St, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF.

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk “At this time of year South Suffolk really does explode into vibrant natural splendour. It’s the open gardens season, with flora and fauna to the fore, and a chance for all of us to enjoy Suffolk at its best.

A personal favourite is heading off on my bike along narrow rural backroads, to have the immense pleasure of seeing a hare or two scampering ahead in the distance.

Then there is the still open water of the Stour, where whole stretches lull along seemingly unchanged from when Constable painted there.

The constituency is spoilt for choice if you want to sample the best of the open gardens tradition. It would be remiss of me to pick a favourite, though I understand Chelsworth is one of the longest running in the whole country. But I do very much admire those who go to such trouble to throw open their home turf for people to marvel at from far and wide.

On the matter of fauna, I am delighted to be the RSPB Parliamentary Species Champion of the Turtle Dove. This migrant species, once a staple of Suffolk’s summer skyline, has declined by more than 95% across the UK since 1970, partly as the unavoidable result of changes in farming methods. I recently attended an RSPB visit in Boxford to see the work that a local farmer is doing to provide improved habitats to try to tempt these birds to land and nest in our area. The reversal of species decline, as with the majority of the issues facing our country, depends on heightened awareness, particularly in terms of educating the next generation. Therefore, I was pleased to donate an owl box – kindly made for me by a talented RSPB volunteer - to Bentley Primary School on the launch day of their Beast, Birds and Bugs club. Beyond education, the protection of our wildlife relies on action at national and international levels. As such, I was delighted that the Government recently banned the sale of ivory products in the UK, a crucial step towards ensuring the future of one of the world’s most endangered animals.”

Are you suffering from low back pain?

Low back pain is a very common health problem. Research shows that low back pain will affect 70-90% of the population at some stage in their lifetime.

Low back pain is the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world. Most low back pain will resolve itself in a few weeks or months. However there are some simple things to do to try to alleviate your pain and speed up the process: 1. Stay active – avoid prolonged postures, try to complete short walks and gentle stretches.

2. Minimise the activities or movements that aggravate your pain until the pain has settled.

3. Use heat to relieve any muscle spasm.

It is important to seek help from your GP or Physiotherapist when: • The pain doesn’t start to improve within a few weeks • The pain stops you from doing your day-to-day activities • The pain is very severe or gets worse over time • You are worried about the pain or struggling to cope Physiotherapy can help by performing manual therapy such as massage and mobilisations to alleviate any muscle spasm and restore normal movement.

Specific exercises will be prescribed based on a thorough assessment that will focus on your particular limitations and needs. Advise will also be given on how to best treat the cause of your low back pain and how to prevent reoccurrence Claire can be found at ‘A Touch of Beauty’ in Hadleigh on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Claire specialises in the treatment of all joint and muscle conditions, in particular lumbopelvic pain, sports injuries and womens health.

Builders’ Merchant Collier & Catchpole teams up with Butterworth & Son to make a Builders’ Brew

Looking for aggregates, paving, walling and edging?

WE DELIVER!

GETTING YOUR GARDEN READY FOR SUNSHINE? Visit our yards in IPSWICH and COLCHESTER for a wide range of fencing, trellis, decking, paving, artificial grass, sleepers, decorative aggregates and much, much more.

With service you can expect from an independent builders’ merchant which has been around for almost 200 years.

COLCHESTER 01206 715500 | IPSWICH 01473 689605

Independent Builders’ Merchant Collier & Catchpole knows a thing or two about what builders want and that includes the fact that its customers’ daily routine would not be quite the same without a cup of tea or two. So when it came to thinking of some branded gifts to thank its regular visitors to its wellstocked yards in Colchester and Ipswich, it was not so much a matter of thinking “outside the box” but more about thinking “in the bag”.

Collier & Catchpole has business roots in East Anglia, going back almost 200 years and so when identifying a partner to help them create a “Builders’ Brew”, the obvious choice was another local family business which has been around as long as Colliers. Butterworth & Son , the specialist coffee roasters and suppliers of fine teas, based in Bury St Edmunds, have family history as Tea Smiths going back to 19th century and are known for quality blended teas.

Collier & Catchpole contacted Rosie Mills-Smith, Operations Manager at Butterworth & Son who was excited about the prospect of doing a branded project: “Although this type of order is not our mainstream business, as a company we are keen and committed to work with other local organisations that employ local people with a proven track record of high standards.”

Rosie recommended the “Suffolk Special Blend” as the ideal base for the “Builders Brew” as it has a strong and full flavour and is blended for hard water, common in the east of England because of the geology of the landscape.

Andy McMahon, Collier & Catchpole’s Commercial Manager is delighted with the end result: “Everyone loves the tea - so much so that we are in danger of running out of mugs! With so many of our customers on site rather than behind a desk, it is great to be able to give them something they can enjoy wherever they are.” colliercatchpole.co.uk Colchester 01206 715500 Ipswich 01473 689605

Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Maisie, the springer and I were meeting the lovely people at Lush Cosmetics in Ipswich because they were donating profits from their Charity Pot cream to SESAW. Suddenly we saw a human striding through the precinct with a tall contraption strapping to his back. Apparently it was the Google Earth guy, mapping the precinct with a 360 ħ camera. And I thought he was there just to photograph me! Mind you, Maisie and I were soon the centre of attention again but I really didn’t know where to look when she rolled on her back for tummy tickles. That dog is SO embarrassing!

I should explain about Maisie. She arrived at SESAW one Christmas, in great pain, hardly able to walk. Luckily our talented vet was able to correct a birth defect on her legs. She patiently endured a long recovery period, remaining calm as her dressings were changed and licking everyone who cared for her. Two years later our Spaniel enjoys life, goes for short walks and loves nothing better than a squeaky toy.

Our volunteers are looking forward to attending the Eight Ash Green Music Festival on 21st July and then it’s all systems go for our own Open Day and Fun Dog Show, 12 - 4 pm on Sunday 29th July at the Sanctuary.

Lots to see, do and eat plus entertainment from HUG - the Hadleigh Ukulele Group! We are still in need of raffle prizes for this, our happiest day of the year.

Please join us, you might even see me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Hadleigh Physio now offering Kids and Teens Pilates Many people associate Pilates only with adults, but this exercise regime is ideal for kids and teens of both genders and all ages! It is proven that physical activity in children helps prevent obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression and ultimately improve musculoskeletal and bone health.

There is a wealth of benefits that can be gained from regular Pilates sessions, even if the child in question is already active. If they aren’t, Pilates can help get them in the habit of exercising regularly.

SPORTY KIDS: Children and teens who play sports that involve extreme flexibility or range of movement will benefit from Pilates e.g. hockey, football, tennis, rowing and swimming. Strengthening their bodies can help prevent or recover more quickly from injury.

DANCING KIDS: The foundation of Pilates was based on use with dancers and the exercise routine is ideal to add to any dancer or gymnast’s repertoire, adding strength and balance. If your child or teen is into ballet, hip hop, tap, modern or other dance styles, Pilates could be a perfect addition to improve performance.

INACTIVE KIDS: Children and teens who don’t have a sport or other active hobby might find the perfect option is Pilates. Pilates can be useful to encourage movement and flexibility, improve posture as a break from studying or more sedentary past times. It will help strengthen muscles, improve balance and posture and enhance self-discipline.

Hadleigh Physio will be running taster sessions for infants (4-7 years), Juniors (7-11 years) and seniors (11-16 years) throughout the month of August.

Groups of no more than 4 will be run by a qualified physiotherapist in our studio on George Street and will then be given the opportunity to join a timetable of regular classes commencing in the Autumn.

Kersey Mill Newsletter Over the past month there has been no let-up in the activities in and around Kersey Mill. We have been delighted with the number of visitors that have been to view the mill and to see the work in progress that is ongoing and to support the various open days. Many thanks to all that have helped with events, Kersey Open Gardens was very well attended and Woofers Team produced a fun Dog Day that was enjoyed by many. Funds raised were split between Canine Partners and Friends of Kersey Mill. Many thanks to all that supported, sponsored and helped with the event.

With the lovely summer days, we have been able to continue with the repairs to the mill grindstones. Paul Willis of Armour Engineering has removed the remains of the centre spindles and is in the process of making replacement parts and repairing anything that is salvageable.

We recently replaced the temporary galvanised rods that had been used on the front scarfed joints created from new oak to repair the Hurst. It is incredible how badly the oak has already corroded the rod, this underlines why we need to use stainless-steel that is now in place.

Once the grindstones have been repaired Millwright, Bill Griffiths, and his helpers will lift the bed stones back onto the Hurst Frame in readiness for redressing. More on this part of the restoration will follow shortly.

Your local friendly Tennis Club If Wimbledon has inspired you then Hadleigh Tennis Club is ready to welcome you!

The Club’s existence was recorded over 137 years ago when it played one of its first matches against a team from Bildeston and both men’s and ladies’ teams continue to compete in the local leagues, both summer and winter.

Since our last report for HCN the annual Hadleigh Tennis Club Mixed Doubles Tournament took place under sunny skies and soaring temperatures on Sunday, Mixed Doubles finalists (l to r): 3rd June. 16 players took part in a Joe Young, Carol McLeod, revamped format, which saw Trevor Rowland and Kate White each competitor play 4 group matches with different partners. The format proved successful with some very tight matches and excellent tennis played. The top men (Trevor Rowland and Joe Young) and top women (Kate White and Carol McLeod) from each group progressed to the final, which attracted a good number of spectators due in part to the tennis and also the favourable weather. Trevor & Carol finally overcame Joe & Kate 6-2 in a hard fought match to become this year's champions.

The end of June and early July will see the Ladies’ and Men’s Club tournaments to a similar format and hopefully similar weather!

We have use of 3 floodlit all weather courts located on Layham Road next to the rugby club with “Club Play” sessions for members on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sunday mornings from 9.30am to 12.00 pm.

You can play a few sessions to see how you get on before deciding whether or not to join and we can put you in touch with local coaches if required. If you have young children who want to start playing there is an independent qualified coach who runs group sessions for children at the courts.

If you are interested just come along to any of the Club Play sessions and have a go.

New local estate agency Hizzy could save you thousands in fees!!

Hello my name is Lee and I am the director of South Suffolk’s newest and most innovative estate agent Hizzy. I have been involved in the local property market for around the past 20 years. In coming up with the idea for the business we knew we needed to offer something a bit different as there is already plenty of estate agents doing the same thing, so we wanted to design a local estate agency with traditional values combined with enhanced modern online marketing and much lower, transparent selling fees. We wanted to retain core values associated with a traditional estate agent style of service such as face to face contact and real local market knowledge, but we also felt we needed more superior online marketing and simpler easy to understand selling fees. Obviously, this concept is not new, with bigger national companies doing the same thing, but we feel because we are operating within our local area and with 20 years local experience we could offer something extra to our customers.

With consumer buying habits changing, more and more people are choosing the online route as their primary search tool for anything these days, this is also very much the case with searching for a new home with statistics showing 98% of buyers are starting their search online first with less than 2% choosing to go into a High Street shop, therefore we believe the requirement for a High Street shop front is now not as essential as it once was 10 years ago.

We have therefore come up with the concept of a hybrid style estate agency service which utilizes the best elements from both a High Street and online estate agent which comes together to offer a more streamlined, transparent and service driven approach with much lower selling fees.

The ways in which we have achieved this are by removing elements from a High Street agent style of service that we consider are no longer required such as a High Street shop front, instead choosing to work from a local office, the savings we make from this are then passed on to our customers through our lower selling fees. We want to embrace the power of online marketing through various ways including better social media advertising and online presentation. We also felt we needed to be open for longer as we felt a lot of potential buyers were carrying out their research between 6pm and 9pm and at weekends, this is when most traditional agents are closed, so our opening times are from 8am to 9pm 7 days a week and with 24 hr customer support.

Our selling contracts are also just 30 days and not the normal 3 months.

We are members of the National Association of Estate Agents and therefore work to a professional standard so if you are thinking of selling and would like a free valuation or just advice on a potential move then please get in touch on 01473 875101, hello@hizzyproperty.co.uk or visit our website for live web chat at www.hizzyproperty.co.uk.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday June 11th 2018: Last month we were fortunate to have a speaker from the Beth Chatto garden in Elmstead Market Essex.

David Ward's theme was 'making a drought resistant garden', he was giving the talk on behalf of the Beth Chatto Education Trust.

David worked with Beth Chatto for thirty five years and was there from the very beginning of the now famous 'dry garden', created from an old car park. He stressed the importance of good preparation for the plants to have the best possible start. Beth Chatto was a great believer in 'right plant, right place' and plants that thrive in dry conditions need soil that is not too rich so he recommended breaking up the soil and digging in mushroom compost. When the ground has been prepared, the plants should be soaked in a bucket of water until all the air bubbles disappear, roots loosened and a third of them pruned off, the plant should be planted in a depression so they can be 'puddled in' and then the soil levelled and a mulch applied to retain moisture.

The talk ended with the opportunity to take home some beautiful and unusual plants suited to dry conditions. The garden is not far away and if you haven't been yet it is well worth a visit.

Congratulations to Margaret Jeffery who came first with her entry in the competition - 'one rose bloom', and the raffle went so well we ran out of tickets!

Thankyou also to everyone who brought in plants for the sales table.

Our next get together on Monday 9th July 2018: This month sees us celebrating our golden anniversary as Hadleigh & District Garden club is fifty years old this year. To mark the occasion we are having a special golden garden party in July at the home of one of our members, we are all very much looking forward to it and keeping our fingers crossed for a balmy evening to make the celebrations complete. We will be back at the Town Hall in August, more details next month.

Hadleigh & District Flower Club At the June meeting, members who won prizes at the Hadleigh Show were congratulated on the wonderful flower displays they staged in the Flower Tent.

Our demonstrator for June, Jacquie Aldous from Dereham was visiting the club for the third time – a welcome return as she is an interesting speaker and very talented flower arranger, her subject being “That’s Entertainment Act III”.

Jacquie is an avid fan of Strictly Come Dancing and the West End shows.

Please join us for the July meeting on the 10th when Kath Dogget will entertain us with ‘'Seasonal Splendours” starting 7.30pm at Hadleigh URC.

Down to Earth ...with Dave We gardeners are a difficult lot to please. It is either too hot, cold, wet, or dry, never just right. At the moment it is a bit on the dry side with the numerous young plants needing frequent watering to keep them alive. No sooner have I said this than the heavens will open up giving everything a very welcome drenching. One advantage of a dry spell is that slugs and snails are less of a nuisance, but I am still out most nights with a torch and a pot of salty water gathering up any that dare to trespass onto to my beloved pots of hostas. The majority of the hostas are a bit protected as they are in a stand alone area away from any other plants. We have had some problems this summer with vine weevil and red lily beetle. The answer is to pick them off by hand where possible but a chemical spray or drench is used as a last resort. Why is the larvae of the attractive red lily beetle such a nasty messy thing? While it is dry keep hoeing the boarders and the veg plot. Any small weeds will soon die off in the sun. A good deep mulch will keep future weed growth down. If possible apply the mulch after rainfall or watering.

On recent garden visits as part of the various open garden schemes it was surprising how many cordon grown tomato plants had side shoots growing away from the main stem. If not pinched out they can soon take over the plant and it becomes a wild mess. Bush grown plants do not need any side shoots pinched out but it is as well to limit the overall growth of the plant especially if it is growing in a basket. As soon as any fruits appear then the plants should be fed with a liquid tomato feed. Now is a good time to take cuttings of fuchsias and pelargoniums. Any fuchsia that is unluckily broken when being moved, is immediately converted into several small cuttings, trimmed below a leaf joint and planted up around the edge of a small pol of gritty compost. Pooped in the cold frame, kept moist it will soon grow into a new plant. If you have any young trees it pays to check their support ties as is it very easy for the tie to become over tight and this can cut into the tree trunk causing unsightly damage. We have two lots of fresh occupants moved onto a couple of empty very overgrown plots on the allotments near to mine. I remember several years ago when I first took over my rather neglected plot. At first it was a bit daunting, but with much hard work it is now almost a pleasure. My advice is stick at it and don’t try to do it all at once. Finally it was nice to see that Monty Don has been awarded an M.B.E in the Queens birthday honours list. About time someone down to earth got a mention.

That’s all for now, Dave

Bees & Beekeeping: It’s hard to imagine holding an audience’s attention for 40+ minutes while speaking about bees and beekeeping. How wrong can you be, pardon the pun? Bee keeper, Abigail Read, did just that and more. Her talk was so interesting that members’ questions continued long after it had ended. Abigail brought lots of explanatory props including a sealed, sample hive full of bees. This made it much easier to understand the colony’s layout and hierarchy. The revered queen bee lays an inordinate number of eggs each day, the rank and file female bees spend most of their time cleaning, and nurturing the young. The male bees’ only function, before dying, is to mate with the queen outside the hive. Happily, human society has moved on considerably since then. Abigail was assisted by her son, Reece, and mother, Avril, who brought a wonderful display of their etched wood art work or pyrography, for members to buy. It was a fascinating evening giving us a true insight into these amazing creatures and the unusual attraction of being a beekeeper.

AGMs can often be full of business and not a lot of pleasure. Fortunately, the Fidelis annual event is the reverse. At their recent gathering, the members confirmed that they were content to let the existing Committee continue to take care of club business for another year. Chairwoman, Liz Wilson welcomed Jill Howlett as a new co-opted member. Brief reports were given by the Chairwoman, the Publicity and Programme Organiser, Jan Devey, and the Treasurer, Carole Burne. On behalf of the members, Val Scott gave a vote of thanks to the Committee for all their hard work which had resulted in most varied, interesting and enjoyable past year. Having speedily dispensed with the business members tucked into a Ploughman’s Supper provided by the Angels Delight team, Charlotte and Becky. Wit, humour and pure nostalgia followed when after dinner speaker, Brian Carline, took to the floor. His talk ‘Tripe and Trotters’ stirred up many memories and a great deal of laughter. Closing the AGM Liz thanked everyone for attending and looked forward to another successful club year.

Lunch Bunch: Our venue came recommended by a Fidelis member so expectations were high before we even arrived at The Gallery Restaurant at Stoke by Nayland Golf Club. We were not disappointed in either the food or location. The panoramic windows high above the golf course gave us breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Diners tried the Medana Lunch Buffet which had a distinctly Mediterranean flavour with many hot and cold dishes in that style. It’s a simple format; one plate and one visit to the buffet for £9.95. Homemade soup of the day and dessert will add another £5.95 and £5.75 respectively, to your bill. There was also plenty of time to put the world to rights while enjoying the delicious cuisine. JD

Prostate Cancer Charity Day Paul, Claire and Diane would like to thank everyone who came to our Cake & Plant Sale to raise money for Prostate Cancer in memory of Leonard Spraggons. We made a fantastic £1120.00 and we couldnt have done it without the support of our friends, relations and total strangers. Special thanks to Hazel, Keith, Carol, Peter, Beverley, Thereza, Jan, Anna and Pat for making cakes and serving cups of tea and coffee and selling plants. Money is still coming in.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre This time last year, dear readers, we appealed for your votes in the Masonic Charitable Foundation’s big launch. Thanks to the wonderful response from you, your friends and relations and a world wide ‘plug’ on every social media ap. imaginable, we were the fortunate winners of the maximum grant in this region. So much work has already been carried out as a result of this, and last of all will come the resurfacing of the arena. We are ever grateful to the Foundation, and to all our wonderful Shelley supporters.

I’m sorry to hear that rabbits have begun vandalising some of Mr Chisnell’s ground works already. The cocky little pests are quite a problem. Fancy something so small being able to dig down to the hardcore below the nice surface of the yard, and bring up rocks for the ponies to tread on! Does anyone have advice for our maintenance team that would help stop this invasion?

We do enjoy a lot of wild life here, but the bunnies are too numerous to be loved. The stables have had doves nesting in them this year, but fewer swallows. There is a good line in horse flies (not loved), bees (in the wild flower patch) and kestrels (above us). I don’t see it all from my room of course, but I hear the gossip.

This year our Shelley Show took a different turn: the dressage section was ridden on the afternoon or Tuesday 12th June, leaving Sunday 24th June entirely devoted to The Countryside Challenge. My photos show Dawid setting off to do his dressage test looking extremely smart, and Ruth putting Bob through his paces. Look for more show pictures in my August blog!

If you live near enough to Bury St Edmunds do visit our stand at the Festival Fun Day in Nowton Park on Sunday 22nd July. It promises a ‘day of fun for all the family” from 11 o’clock onwards, with lots of entertainment and things to do. Hopefully there will a photo of yours truly on our publicity board too.

Hadleigh Bowling Club The Club’s been delighted to make arrangements with the Hadleigh Dementia Alliance to use our petanque pitch every Friday. We provide a pitch and a volunteer to help with the games and the Alliance do the rest, bringing family and carers who all join in. Families and carers say how valuable the experience is for everyone who comes, offering exercise and fresh air, interaction at different levels, and for families it’s a relaxed opportunity to chat and share experiences and information. It’s proved a really enjoyable and rewarding time for club volunteers too, with one saying he wished he could get on the rota every week. We’ll move indoors in the winter to play short mat bowls. Simply talk to Hadleigh Dementia Alliance if you’d like to bring someone along.

Meanwhile on the bowls green Mick Barrand has won his early rounds of the Champion of Champions county singles competition, and he and Peter Miller are through to the finals of the pairs event. The summer is packed with external league competitions, friendlies and internal games, and with members down for multiple events the various team captains spend their days competing for players. Perhaps we should make that a competition all of its own with a cup at the end.

Health Foods for You Zero Waste Project We are living within an outdated linear economy of production, consumption and disposal. The zero waste mentality is to switch the whole system to a circular economy, which aims on keeping things in continuous rotation and out of landfill. This isn’t to be confused with the recycling economy, which delays the journey to landfill, but winds up there eventually after using lots of energy and resources to keep it in use until then. At Health Foods For You we have a selection of organic loose, self-serve products for you to choose from.

This includes grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and loose-leaf teas.

Why organic? We believe organic farming is the natural way and ‘organic food’ should in fact just be called ‘food’,. So rest assured that everything sold in the Zero waste dispensers is organic How it works in our shop STEP 1. Place any empty container on the scales STEP 2. Fill your container with desired product.

STEP 3. Place the container back onto the scale. We work out your price, then pay for your product!

We are huge advocates of reusing over recycling so please bring along any container that you like; a mason jar, jam jar, ice cream tub or lunchbox, if it can be weighed, it can be used!

If ever you forget to bring a container of your own, feel free to use one of our biodegradable bags. If you are new to the zero-waste experience and selfserving in general, please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance and we can show you how effortless it is to take back control of your food, getting the amount you need. Shopping this way is simple to do, empowering to you, the customer, and fun for the whole family to get involved in.

Don’t forget we are also now online www.healthfoodsforyou.co.uk is where you can buy all your supplements and some unique personal care Shipping is only £2.90 and orders over £35.00 qualify for free delivery any where in Europe!

Bildeston Primary School Learning and Growing Together African Adventure Residential Trip We took our year 5/6 pupils to stay at African Adventure at Sizewell Hall, on the Suffolk coast from Monday 21 May 2018 to Friday 25 May 2018, the week after SATs for our year 6 pupils. The centre offered a “purposeful programme, applicable to the current curriculum”.

Activities included bridge building, low ropes, archery, shelter building and scavenger hunting on the beach. The children were also encouraged to use their thinking skills for teamwork, social and cultural activities themed around an African village. The weather was very kind to them the whole week and they all came back with wonderful stories of their week away.

Recycling Workshops in School We were lucky to be able to have Sharon Lockhart with us for the day on Wednesday 6 June 2018.

Sharon is the Information and Education Manager at FCC Environment in Ipswich.

Sharon worked with all of our classes explaining what happens to our waste and how we can help our environment by recycling more!

Enrichment Environmental Day Miss Myers, our Reception class teacher, held an Enrichment Environment Day at our school for children from across our pyramid of schools. The children enjoyed their morning in the outdoors making clay models, identifying different leaves and making hats from foliage that they collected.

Able Maths Day Two of our pupils were fortunate enough to be able to attend an able maths day at Chilton Community Primary School on Friday 8 June 2018. Pete Hall, an ex-Primary Head Teacher who has been involved in many primary maths projects nationally and internationally, ran the event. His motto is ‘Making Maths fun!’

Father Day Lunches Our Father’s day lunches were held on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th June and were once again very successful. Over 180 meals were served across the two days and we would like to say a special thank you to our hard working kitchen staff and to our parents who always help to support these special lunches.

If you are considering Bildeston Primary as a school for your child, we would welcome a visit. Please phone the office on the number below or email us.

We would love to meet you.

RETAIL MOTOR INDUSTRY FEDERATION

As a club, the Hares cover a wide range of athletic activities. Although traditionally a running club, we have had a thriving triathlon section for a number of years and more recently quite a few of our members have been getting into competitive cycling. As the weather has improved over the past few weeks, Hares have been out and about taking part in all sorts of activities ranging from short, sharp efforts to long gruelling events and here are just a few of those: On the running side Hares have been active at all distances from 5k to ultramarathon. Five athletes took on the Stour Valley Marathon. This is actually an ‘ultra’ as it is run over 27 rather than 26.2 miles, and is made all the more challenging by being off road.

Nevertheless, Steve Hunt, Rachel Bodsworth, Kitty Rigby, Oli Riches and Amanda Dunn made their way round the course on a hot day, sometimes pushing through standing crops as tall as them.

Stour Valley Marathon finishers The ever popular and notoriously hilly Woodbridge 10k race took place on 20th May ending in victory for our very own Elisa Bostock who won the ladies’ race in a blistering 40 mins and 10 seconds. Congratulations to Elisa on a terrific performance and a great win. Three other Hares completed the course: Paul Ballard (46:42), Kay Oxford (51:42) and Paul McAllister (55:55). Great work all round!

Earlier in the month, the Ipswich Twighlight 5k took place on the streets around Ipswich waterfront. Timed to beat the sunset (and co-incidentally the rain) the race takes place in the evening making it a bit of a novelty for those taking part. This year we had four Hares running: Rachel Bodsworth, Glen Avis, Stuart Hunt and Bob Grimsey. Of those, Rachel was the first home in 21 minutes and 6 seconds with Glen close behind on 22:51.

The annual Friday 5 series of five mile races around the local area always attracts a large number of club runners. So far three of the five races have taken place at Sudbury, Felixstowe and Framlingham and no less than 14 different Hares have taken part placing us 8th club in the league after the second race. There are 26 clubs in the competition and those above us are much larger clubs who can regularly field far more runners so we are punching above our weight as usual.

Finally, on the running side, it was apparently English Wine Week a couple of weeks ago, and what better way to mark the occasion by running a 5k in Dedham. Not sure whether the run or the wine was the biggest draw but Bob Grimsey and Lisa Fosker took up the challenge. One for next year perhaps….

Our triathletes are getting into the swing of the season with Pat Atwood and Sara Taylor-Balls moving a step closer to their Ironman goal in Copenhagen in August. They completied the Grafman half ironman at Grafham Water on 20th May in 7 hours 37 minutes and 7 hours and 50 minutes respectively. No easy event, this comprised of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile undulating bike and 13.1 mile run. In the process, Pat won her age group and Sara came 5th in hers. Well done, ladies.

Meanwhile, Adam Johnson continues his recent run of good form coming first in age group at Culford sprint triathlon on 3rd June, finishing the 300m swim, 20km bike and 5km run in a fraction over 59 minutes.

Finally, our Cyclists have been busy at Peterborough and Ipswich. Apart from taking part in various sportives ranging in distance from 60 to 100 miles, they have been busy competing. The annual Tour of Cambridgeshire is a qualifier for the World Championship UCI Gran Fondo, this year to held in Italy. In previous years a number of Hares have managed to qualify and have represented Great Britain in Denmark and, last year, in France. This year only four Hares entered – Deb and Elizabeth Stewart, Trudy Avis and Leon Hayward. Elizabeth was too young to qualify but finished the 80 mile course in 4 hours and 18 minutes, and Deb made it to the end in 4 hours and 33 minutes just missing out on the qualifying time. Sadly, whilst riding strongly and well within qualifying pace, Trudy hit a pothole at mile 51 and had to withdraw, but Leon flew around the course to qualify for the second year in a row with a time of 3 hours and 11 minutes.

Danny Preece continues to shine as one of our cycling stars. A member of the Army Cycling squad and a PTI, Danny represents the Hares at a number of closed circuit races during the season. This year’s opener saw him come sixth overall in the first of the Suffolk Cycle Race Series at Trinity Park. Keep it up, Danny.

Hadleigh Hares are a friendly local athletics club catering for all levels and abilities from beginners to Ironman triathletes. It is a fun and friendly way of getting or keeping fit. If you fancy coming along and joining at whatever level please contact us at chair@hadleighhares.co.uk or via Facebook. There is a beginners/improvers session every Monday evening at 7pm meeting at Hadleigh Pool, and we run a session for ladies only as well as more advanced running, and mixed ability swimming and cycling sessions throughout the week.

Stoke by Nayland Golf Club News On Thursday the 31st of May the junior section entered a team of 3 to play in the Faldo wedge, an Essex competition for under 18 year olds, this year played at Canons Brook GC located on the outskirts of Harlow. The 3 players, Max Toombs (the club junior captain), Harry English & Sam Nixon managed to come second to Thorpe Hall golf club who won this last year as well. The competition is for the total of the 3 scores so there is no room for a bad round.

Sam and Harry both scored 39 points and Max had 33 to give them a total score of 111, 4 shots behind the winners.

Each month during the summer, a friendly mixed game of golf is arranged for 1 Friday night by Sue Gregory and her husband Stuart. Aptly named the “Friday night Mixed”, pairs are drawn out of a hat and then a greensome competition is played over 9 holes. This month the competition was played on the front 9 of the constable course on Friday the 1st. The completion was won

by Peter Garnet playing with the ladies captain, Elaine Davidson. With 21 points they beat their playing partners, Steve Clark & Janet Hodge into 2nd place by 1 point. Afterwards the whole group enjoy a meal in the bar and a good chat. For mixed golfers this is an excellent introduction into the golf club.

The Curry Cup On Saturday the club played their first match of 4 league games in the Curry Cup against Seckford hall GC, near Woodbridge. This is a 36 hole competition with pairs playing foursomes in the morning and then singles in the afternoon.

The design of the competition is to give up & coming players a chance to play the same format as the county competitions and is played between clubs from north Essex & south Suffolk. Playing at home the Picture is of (L to R) Peter & Elaine with the men’s captain, Alan Line team had a convincing 16 – 2 win.

On Sunday the Thornton Cup team ( the best players in the club) played their second round plate competition match against The Burstead. With 5 players playing at home and 5 away, neither side gets home advantage. The team managed to win 6 – 4 to progress to the quarter-finals where they will play against Toot Hill on the 8th of July.
