Spade in the ground for new pool Work is underway, after ground was broken on the new £2.4m swimming pool at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure. As part of a £2.4m investment by Babergh District Council, with £200,000 of funds provided by Hadleigh Town Council and a Sports England grant (£150k), Hadleigh Pool and Leisure will have a new pool, expected to be completed in summer 2020. The development will be completed by Rose Builders and will include a brand new pool with five 25 metre lanes, disabled access, changing places toilet and shower facility, sauna and spectator seating. All existing facilities including the current pool will remain open and unaffected during most of the works. The existing pool will be demolished towards the end of the project once the new building has been connected to the existing centre. The area will then be re-landscaped into park land, resulting in no net loss of open space. Tracey Loynds, Development Director for Abbeycroft Leisure, said: “We are all about inspiring a healthier you and recognise that we need to improve our customer experience with modern fit for purpose facilities. This is a great investment for us and for the people of Hadleigh and will go a long way to supporting our community to get more active.” Cllr Derek Davis, Babergh District Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, said: “Providing new community leisure facilities in Babergh is a real priority for us and it’s great that work is now starting in Hadleigh to do just that. “This work takes a huge step in helping our residents of today remain healthy and active, as well as ensuring that future generations can enjoy our leisure facilities over the coming years.”

Hadleigh Walkers We had 11 walkers for our October walk despite continuous rain making it a bit muddy under foot. The Kersey Bell was a welcome sight at the walk’s end. Our November walk on Saturday 9th will take advantage of the new more regular bus service. We will catch the 91 service towards Ipswich at 0900 (Co-op side – as it’s Saturday, bus passes are valid) and alight at the stop before the Beagle pub. We will start the walk at Valley Farm Lodge and proceed via the Grange, Washbrook Church, Coles Green Farm, Longlands Barn, Orchard Lea and end up at The Hintlesham George. This portion of the walk is about 5.5 miles and we should arrive well in time to take a breather and catch the 1235 bus back to Hadleigh for any who don’t want to proceed further. The remainder of the group will continue to Hadleigh on foot via Hintlesham Hall, College Farm, Ram’s Farm, Old House, Shooting Box and then either Wolves View or Aldham Hall into Hadleigh. This portion of the walk is also around 5.5 miles. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground will be muddy or rough in places . As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. Looking further out to December, we are planning a walk from Hadleigh, through Raydon Great Wood to Raydon, Shelley, the Layhams and back To Hadleigh where we will organise snacks at the Cock which will give us all chance to discuss plans for the new year.

The
Collaboration – A better approach to separation Separating from a partner can be an extremely difficult time both emotionally and financially. In the past, the more traditional approach to Divorce has been for the parties to resolve their differences in the courtroom, but increasingly, with court delays, this process can often lead to increased stress and cost to both parties. The premise of dealing with separation ‘collaboratively’ is for the parties to agree to achieve a settlement through collaboration as opposed to making an application to the Family Court. In the collaborative process, each party instructs a specialist, collaboratively trained divorce lawyer and all negotiations and decision making takes place in a series of four way meetings attended by both parties and their divorce solicitors. Control is given back to the parties in the divorce to set their own timetable and agenda for these meetings rather than a timetable being imposed by the court. As the parties have a direct input into the agenda they will each be able to discuss issues most pressing to them. It is possible to bring in experts to the four way meetings, where required, such as Independent Financial Advisers to ensure that both parties have the correct assistance to help them make important decisions for the benefit of their family. There is far more flexibility in the Collaborative process than the more traditional court process and so it can often lead to a speedier resolution of issues and therefore reduced legal fees. If the parties have children it is essential that communication is maintained to enable the parents to be able to co-parent their children when they have completed the divorce process. One of the benefits of collaboration is being able to keep the children at the forefront of all discussions in the hope that the impact of the divorce on the children can be minimised. There is still the obligation on the both parties to provide full disclosure of their financial positions to enable the parties to be fully informed before making any decisions. However, the process of providing this information is more informal and less restrictive. Ultimately, the collaborative divorce process hopefully ends with an agreement being reached between the parties which they have both worked towards together rather than a decision being imposed upon them. Holmes & Hills Solicitors’ team includes Sue Wardropper, a specialist collaborative divorce solicitor. If you are interested in learning more about a collaborative approach to separation, call Holmes & Hills Solicitors.

Fidelis Activity News Canine Crèche: Entrepreneur Candace Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers are hairy, lively and contented. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising given the wonderful surroundings these canine clients enjoy each day when their owners drop them off at their very own crèche. Fidelis members were staggered when they learned of the luxurious facilities and extensive activities available to the dogs. They also heard how Candace started this unusual venture and then developed it into a highly successful business with many new centres and additional services opening all the time. Candace was an entertaining speaker with a passion for her dogs and enterprise which made for an enjoyable, informative talk. The White Crow is an absorbing biopic based on the life of the late prima ballerina Rudolf Nureyev. As the film had an exceptionally brief showing at other local cinemas, ladies were happy to support the one performance recently aired at The Quay in Sudbury. Ralph Fiennes was the director. He also appeared as a convincing Russian ballet master together with an uncanny Nureyev look alike who could almost replicate the staggering performances of the man himself. Food Bank Collection Members were reminded to bring their donations to the next meeting when they will be collected in time for distribution before Christmas. Lists of most wanted items were circulated.
Thankyou Big thankyou to all who supported and donated raffle prizes and to everyone who kindly gave their time on the day and beforehand to a hugely successful Craft Fair in Whatfield on Sunday 13th October. Whatfield Primary School and Success after Stroke were given ÂŁ500 each. Mandy Squirrell

Real Time Ultrasound Scanning at Hadleigh Physiotherapy Hadleigh Physiotherapy are delighted to be able to offer real time ultrasound scanning in clinic, with Helen Forth, our pelvic health physiotherapist. Real time ultrasound is the same type of imaging used when someone is pregnant to view their unborn baby. Physiotherapists use it to visualise muscles in order to assess how well they are working. It can be a very useful learning tool for clients who are unsure if they are exercising correctly, or who struggle to feel their deep “core” stability muscles. The cylinder of stability formed by the deep abdominals, pelvic floor muscles, deep spinal muscles and the diaphragm is vitally important, and often needs retraining for people with low back or pelvic pain, and many other musculoskeletal conditions. Many people find it difficult to know whether they are exercising these muscles correctly – this is where an ultrasound scan can be incredibly helpful. The physiotherapist will hold a probe against your skin, using some gel for contact, and can then show you how your muscles are working on the screen. You can then learn how to exercise them correctly for optimum function. Whether you are an existing Pilates client, a patient currently having treatment with one of our physiotherapists, or simply curious, real time ultrasound scanning could be for you. Please call the practice to enquire on 01473 810 185.

James Cartlidge writes
Forces. One of the greatest short-term benefits of passing a Brexit deal will be our ability to move on to other priorities. This Queen’s Speech, backed by significant extra funding, puts us in the ideal place to do just that.
‘A Wartime Christmas’ An illustrated talk by Dr Pat Murrell Providing a temporary home to numerous military personnel and evacuees, the talk explores how people on the Home Front in Suffolk made the most of the festive season despite bombing, personal tragedies, relentless austerity measures and rationing. A small number of refreshments based on wartime recipes will be available to try - especially if you dress the part! Wednesday, December 11th Lavenham Village Hall 7.30pm. Tickets: £5. Bookings: Lavenham Village Hall Tel: 01787-248599. All proceeds go towards the USAAF 487th Bomb Group Memorial Fund.

This year’s Queen’s Speech was unlike any since I was first elected in 2015. I say this not because of the controversy over prorogation (the end of a legislative session) that preceded the State Opening (the start of a new one). Rather, because the Government’s ambitious commitments across the whole political piece underlined that we really are at ‘the end of austerity’. Not only have we announced new Bills, but new resource to underpin them. We have announced a major boost for school spending, levelling our schools up with those counties that have enjoyed historically higher funding levels for reasons that are hard to justify when every pupil should have a fair start in life. South Suffolk schools will see an average 6.6% increase in their budgets. We have committed to funding 20,000 extra police officers that will equate to 54 for Suffolk in the first year of a three-year tranche of additional recruits that I warmly welcome. I recently went on patrol with officers in Sudbury and know the challenging scenario they face. Nevertheless, extra funding must lead to better outcomes for frontline users – that’s you and me, the patients; parents; residents; pupils and all those who use public services. Thus, the Queen’s Speech set out a raft of new Bills that would enable our key services to deliver the improvements alongside bigger budgets. In the case of law and order, extra police officers are very welcome – but they will not deliver lower crime if those who break the law are undeterred by the criminal justice system. Thus, we have new measures to strengthen deterrence, including a Sentencing Bill specifically to ensure that the most serious offenders spend the appropriate time in prison. There will also be a Police Protections Bill putting a James Cartlidge MP with the Suffolk Police Covenant on a statutory footing, according Constabulary Sentinel Team (left to right PC Dan Newson, PC Mins Fernandez, a similar mark of public James Cartlidge MP, PC Jon Wood, respect that we currently PC Sam Chottock during a recent day show to those who serve in of patrolling.

Pause For Thought In recent years the television ‘Gogglebox’ has become popular and launched some ordinary people into the lower realms of celebrity. On this show, as a viewer, you watch other people watching television with their friends or family. While this idea may seem crazy, it can be an incredibly funny and entertaining show. However, while Gogglebox does give the impression that as a viewer you are being drawn into the conversation, and know the people on the screen, you are actually still distant from what is going on and even more distant from the events they are talking about. We watch what is going on from a distance. A number of years ago a variety of musical artists sung the song, “From a distance.” That song speaks about how the world looks and how people interact with each other and it says this about God, “God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us… from a distance.” The song says to us that God has a Gogglebox kind of interaction with people, whereas the Bible teaches this, “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” He’s not looking on passively from a distance, he comes close and he gets involved. Perhaps as we begin to get close to the Christmas season it’s worth looking into how God did this in the most remarkable way. Pastor Chris Todd
Osteopaths don’t just treat bones and backs...
For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish
Hadleigh Osteopaths have been established in the Hadleigh for over 25 years and specialise in the Osteopathic treatment of all joint and muscle conditions, (including back pain, sciatica and sports injuries), as well as providing acupuncture in the Sudbury Clinic at The Kingfisher. When a patient has a bad back or an injury to a joint, there will be problems as-sociated with the other structures, such as the muscles and ligaments, or discs and cartilages. These are the structures and tissues that are more likely to re-spond to a manual therapy approach such as osteopathy. It is for this reason that osteopaths are trained to treat all musculoskeletal skeletal injuries, not just bones, and not just backs. We are capable of treating all types of joint problems, from the top of the head, (including some types of headache), to the tip of the toes, and all the joints in between. The term “osteopath” is really a bit of a misnomer for what we do. “Osteo” means to do with bone, and “Pathos” indicates a disease. Despite the title “osteopath” we do not “just treat bones”. We are trained to recognise all sorts of potential diseases and pathologies, in order to know when to treat and when to refer patients on for investigations or medical intervention. Indeed, if an osteo-path suspects that there is an actual boney pathology, they will usually refer this on to a doctor for appropriate medical investigation or treatment. The human skeleton is made up of approximately 206 bones. From the long femoral bone in the thigh, to the tiny auditory ossicles in the ear, the boney structure of our bodies functions in the most amazing way. The skeleton offers support by having a mobile column of vertebrae, with the skull and rib cage for protection of our important nervous system and internal or-gans, and our axial skeleton allows our limbs to hang from our shoulder and pel-vic girdles, giving us our dexterity and the capacity for locomotion. However, the skeletal system cannot function alone. Without the ligaments to connect bone to bone, and the muscles to act across the joints, or the nervous system to give information and feedback, we would really just be a pile of bones. If you have any type of joint problem or a soft tissue injury, why not see if we can help. We don’t just treat bones and we don’t just treat backs. We treat people! www.hadleighosteopaths.co.uk 07770 746224 Hadleigh Osteopaths, Hadleigh Pool and Leisure, Stonehouse Road

It’s the most wonderful time to hear… As the festive season draws closer, most of us will be looking forward to reuniting with family and friends. For someone with hearing loss, the Christmas period can cause a lot of anxiety for fear of embarrassment and stress of trying to communicate with their loved ones. One in six people across the UK experience some form of reduced hearing, but nowhere near that amount act to improve their hearing. Many believe that they are being a martyr by ‘getting on’ with hearing loss, when actually it can drive a wedge between yourself and those around you. The tendency of those with significant hearing loss is to avoid communication and social gatherings altogether to save their own embarrassment. If you prioritise your hearing, you will can nurture these special relationships that you treasure. Hearing aids can make such a difference to someone's quality of life, especially at this time of year. Modern hearing aids are much smaller and more discreet than they ever used to be and packed full of amazing features that will help during the festive period. These features can include directional microphones, which work to reduce the amount of noise allowed to enter your hearing aids. In noisy environments, like at a Christmas party or meal, the system will work to pick up the sounds you need to hear. If the noise is located behind you, your directional microphones will adapt to pick up sound from in front of you and dampen noise from behind you. Also most hearing aids now have Bluetooth connectivity, meaning not only can you adjust your hearing aids via a remote control or even your smartphone, but they can also connect to the television and play the audio from your favourite Christmas film directly into your ears so you can watch along with your family and hear every word. Don’t let another Christmas go by just ‘getting on’ with hearing loss, take this opportunity to look after your hearing health. Booking a hearing assessment is such a simple action, but it can have a huge wealth of benefits. The Hearing Care Centre holds regular clinics in Hadleigh and Sudbury. To find out how their expert audiologists can give you the gift of good hearing, visit www.hearingcarecentre.co.uk or call 01473 230330 for more information

All rosettes at The Bildeston Crown The Bildeston Crown’s chef/patron Chris Lee celebrated last month when, once again, the AA recognised him as a 3 AA Rosettes chef. The Rosette scheme is a long established recognition scheme operated by the AA. Approximately 10% of all restaurants across the UK are of a standard to attain one rosette making up 50% of the AA Restaurant Guide; only 10% of the hotels and restaurants within the Guide will have three rosettes and above. What is a little unusual in Chris’s case is that this is the third time that he has won this sought-after status. The rosettes are awarded to the chef and not the restaurant and so if for any reason the awarded chef steps down from the role, James Buckle, Hayley Lee, the rosettes are suspended and the Chris Lee restaurant (and its new chef) needs to start the application process again. Chris was first awarded 3 rosettes back in 2007. The rosettes were then suspended when in 2013 Chris and his wife Hayley joined Philip Turner to start up The Chestnut Group. However, within a year, Chris had been awarded 3 AA Rosettes for Chestnut’s first hostelry near Newmarket. Then in September 2015 Chris and Hayley returned to The Bildeston Crown to run the business as their own and started all over again. “I can’t deny it. To have 3 AA Rosettes, once more, is just simply amazing. Food is my passion and my life and this award means a great deal to all of us who have worked hard to ensure that The Bildeston Crown is known far and wide The Bildeston Crown team celebrate as a destination for great at the AA Awards locally-sourced food and attentive service. It may seem as though I keep letting these rosettes slip through my fingers but now that the Bildeston Crown is our very own business, I intend holding on to the three of these rosettes very tightly indeed.” thebildestoncrown.com

Past Meetings Jenny Gibbs talked to us on "An Englishwoman's Life in Rural Turkey" on Wednesday 9 October. Her stories captured a simple, serene, pastoral way of life in a Turkish mountain village unchanged for centuries, from the day she first arrived there 25 years ago to today. Future Meetings & Diary Dates On 13 November Magistrate Graham Higgins will talk of "Tales From The Bench". He will look at our legal heritage, particularly the part played by Suffolk. He will relate how the role of magistrates and local events have played a part in this history and will bring us up to date with an opportunity to decide how a defendant should be sentenced by briefly outlining a case. He will also include some of his unusual experiences on the bench. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold a speaker meeting in December but instead a Christmas lunch and this year it is being held on Wednesday 11 December at the Ipswich Best Western Hotel, Copdock IP8 3JD.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre This premises scored 5 out of 5 stars Very high standards of food safety management. Fully compliant with food safety legislation
By the time you read my November blog the clocks will have gone back and we’ll all be in darkness by teatime. That’s why I’m showing off photos of the Pony Day we had in early October when the weather was lovely, nobody got cold or wet, and the 6 participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Well done everybody. We had a presence at the ‘Hadleigh On Show’ event on the same day and saw many old friends and riders as they passed our table. I had my very own poster that generated lots of interest. We think we may have picked up some more helpers, you know who you are, and a big thank you to you three. It will be great to have you on board. Getting cold and wet is part of the joy of involvement with horses, as many of my readers will know. The maintenance team has a brilliant way of keeping warm, however, and if you’d like to find out what it is, do come up here and join it! Pumpkins, fireworks, and rehearsals for Christmas nativity plays all contribute to the rapid pace of the Autumn term. Here we push on for our riders’ achievements and progress and everyone enjoys the signs of success, however great or small they may be. I know Margaret will be looking out for a baby from our riders’ or volunteers’ families to take the part of Jesus at our carol service on December 7th. What are you up to this month? If you feel time is dragging, or your own four walls are closing in on you, why not try something new? There is a valuable slot here for everybody, whatever your skills, or lack of them. We horses need help with everything, from making coffee for the volunteers to working a computer, our four hooves do a remarkable job for disabled riders but we can’t manage the practicalities without human help. I know the lovely volunteers and their riders are suckers for cake. What a surprise they got when Teresa, of the Italian Cook Book fame, arrived with a large cake tin one Friday last month. Not only that but she has raised several hundred pounds for us by sales of the book, so its another huge thank you from the herd and the (hungry) people here.

A Rising Star at Gotelee
a yo T fo ne ur re r w se at C hr ki lf is tc to tm he as n !
The Legal 500 UK client directory is published each year at the end of September and provides a benchmark for law firms across East Anglia. This year Gotelee Solicitors celebrates sixteen top three positions across all areas of law which is a tremendous achievement for the Suffolk firm. Associate Kay Baker, based in the Hadleigh office has particular reason to celebrate. Kay has been commended as a ‘Rising Star’ by the Legal 500 UK for her work in relation to Wills, trusts and probate. ‘Associate, Kay Baker in Hadleigh is the standout practitioner and clients remark that she is 'an excellent lawyer combining legal expertise with empathy to achieve a solution to some of the most complicated scenarios'. “I am delighted to be recognised by the industry this year. I really enjoy my work, helping the Hadleigh community and meeting local people.” Adding yet another string to her bow, Kay has also recently qualified as a mediator which means she can help families and businesses work through disputes as an impartial third party with the aim of coming to an agreement outside of court. “Mediation has a high success rate, most disputes being resolved in a day which is a real contrast to some court or tribunal cases which can take months to reach a conclusion. It is immensely satisfying to bring difficult circumstances or deadlock within families to an end. We are a family first firm and to be able to provide a mediation service is very relevant to the Gotelee values” said Kay. Gotelee has maintained a consistent position in the region, well known for its level of service and with leading lawyers in corporate and commercial, employment, crime, clinical negligence, commercial property, transport and private client work. “We are delighted for Kay and the team in the Hadleigh who work extremely hard.” concludes Peter Crix, Senior Partner. Together with Age UK Suffolk, Kay Baker and team will be hosting a seminar – Time Well Spent at Hintlesham Golf Club on Tuesday 26 November. The seminar will cover planning for later life and the provision of care in Suffolk. If you would like to join us, please contact alison.betts@gotelee.co.uk, telephone 01473 552507

Fabulous Flair de Noël! “We got a call from Homes and Antiques magazine saying they’d heard we had a fabulously original full on festive Christmas Fair and that they wished to feature our Fête de Noël as one of the best small Christmas shopping destinations to visit in the UK this November!” says Cathy Bullen, owner of Bildeston’s French Decorative Lifestyle business The Boule-in and positively grins with delight as she explains “It’s completely thrilling and such an exciting challenge to ensure we live up to such an accolade! It seems we hit the magazine’s every criteria of being full on festive and accessible to all - and completely original being a French Christmas Fête in the heart of Suffolk. We try very hard to offer something for everyone’s pocket with prices ranging from £5 to £500 - so as well as our beautiful decorative antiques we also sell lifestyle accessories (cushions, throws, table mats, soaps, baskets and balsamic dressings and beautiful festive decorations...) and especially for Christmas we’ve boxed gifts for under £20 wrapped with a little Oh la la style! We’re also very excited about a series of Special Event Days we’ve planned to make the week constantly inspiring: In addition to our usual warm welcome of coffee, brownies and mulled wine, busy parents can arrive early to enjoy a French Petit Déjeuner from 8.30am following the school run on Monday 18th, Hugh St Clair returns to us on Wednesday 20th at 6.30pm for an informative talk and book signing of his recently published Cedric Morris biography (the perfect Christmas gift for gardeners and painters alike) whilst our extended late night shopping hours on Thursday 21st allows the busy workers among us to enjoy the delights of a Fête de Noël shopping experience after a long day in the office. Anna Dixon Smith, our Suffolk based Artist in Residence, also returns with another selection of beautiful still life paintings featuring our French objet d’art alongside seasonal flowers and foliage from her garden and Suffolk walks: Basically it’s full on festive and full on wonderful!” Cathy enthuses “best of all for me is the charm of our antique Provençale Crèche a traditional 40 piece French Nativity scene which will delight adults and children alike!” All in all The Boule-in Fête de Noël promises to enchant with a truly magical festive experience and luckily for all of us living in Suffolk, it seems that one of the UK’s best small Christmas Fair is right on our doorstep! Fête de Noël runs Saturday 16th until Sunday 24th (10am - 6pm daily) Special Event Days : Monday 18th Petit Déjeuner (8.30-10am) Wednesday 20th Cedric Morris talk and book signing (6.30-8pm) Thursday 21st extended Late Night Shopping open until 8.30pm) Supporting UK Charities

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday October 14th 2019: Almost every seat at our meeting last month was taken, as club members and visitors came to hear an excellent talk by Shirley Sampson (on the left in the photograph) from the RSPB garden at Flatford, her subject was gardening for wildlife. The garden at Flatford was established to educate people on how a few small changes in their approach to gardening can make a big difference to the wildlife population in their gardens. The decline in the number of house sparrows is linked to the lack of insects to feed their young and gardeners can play a big part in providing an environment to support wildlife. Water in the garden, even a small container planted up will make a difference, establishing an area where wildlife can overwinter and not tidying every part of the garden in the autumn will help, as decaying leaves and rotting wood are wildlife friendly. Having as many different plants as possible that provide shelter as well as food is important and providing plants that produce nectar in the spring and autumn is essential. If you would like to find out more information then the garden is open from April until the end of October but you could go along when the RSPB have their Big Garden Birdwatch in January and speak to someone or pick up a useful leaflet or two. We had some lovely entries for the competition this month and the table was groaning under the weight of 'a vase of autumn colour', congratulations to Carole our winner. It was nice to see several new visitors in October and we hope to see them again soon. Monday November 11th: We are lucky enough to be having a speaker from the prestigious Hyde Hall gardens in November. Rob Brett is coming to talk to us about our need for plants. The meeting starts at 7.30pm in Hadleigh Town Hall. The entrance is £4 for visitors and £2 for members to include refreshments, there will be a raffle and plants for sale. The competition for November is 'a squash', new members and visitors are always welcome, we hope to see you there. hadleighgardenclub@gmail.com Hadleigh Naturalists Society

Down to Earth ...with Dave Autumn is now with us and the seasonal clear up should be well under way. With all the rain that we have had lately it is important that any saucers under the various pots in the garden are removed. They should be washed and stored away ready for use next year, I find that an old supermarket crate makes an ideal place to keep them. If the pots are not on a well drained surface like gravel then they should be raised up on three little feet to make sure the pot does not become waterlogged. If we do get any dry spells then the grass will benefit from a cut and any hedges can be given a trim to keep them tidy for the winter. In the greenhouse the bumper crop of butternut squash have been ripened and are now stored in the cool of the garage. A basket of them was displayed on the garden club table at the very busy Hadleigh On Show event held in October, a very popular event that hopefully will be repeated next year. As usual the small onion sets are growing nicely in their little pots in the greenhouse, they will be planted out before long, let's hope we do better with them than we did last year. The large terracotta pots that had geraniums in them during the summer have now been planted up with tulips and topped off with winter pansies. The geraniums were such strong plants that some of them have been cut back hard, potted on in large pots and put in the greenhouse for next year. On the allotment it is all about clearing up, the summer fruiting raspberries have this year's growth cut right back to the ground and the best of the new growth kept and tied into the framework, the autumn fruiting ones are cut right back to the ground. With the mild weather we have had they are already showing signs of new shoots but they were still cut right back. A generous mulch of home grown compost is applied to them and also to other areas around the rhubarb, dahlias, daffodils, gladioli and the asparagus. The runner beans are still to be cut down and composted after the best of the seeds have been saved for next year. The roots of the runner beans will be left in the ground as the nodules on them are a valuable source of nitrogen. Back in May I wrote about the DEFRA ban on the use of slug pellets containing metaldehyde that was supposed to come into force next year. Following legal action from the manufacturers this ban has now been put on hold. Why anyone should want to use anything as nasty as this I do not know. That's all for this time Dave

Huge interest in Partridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition Over 400 people flocked to an exhibition charting the 200 years of history of an iconic hardware shop in Hadleigh. The event was staged by the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archive Group, after several bundles of old property deeds relating to M W Partridge & Co Ltd - which started off as an ironmongers and foundry in 1819 - were donated to the town. It changed hands many times before the current owners took over in 1984. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were surprised just how much interest this has created,â&#x20AC;? said Sally Looker, Archives Group volunteer, who researched and created the exhibition, and was constantly questioned by the stream of visitors during the two-day event. She unearthed so much information about the store and that it almost represented a social history of Hadleigh. This included a murder and a highway robbery, in addition to a wealth of documents relating to trade and apprenticeships. She said that many ex-employees added to that stock of material, including one, Jim Hill, who had worked at the store for 50 years, when the business was a major supplier to agricultural equipment to the area. Currently, there are plans to redevelop the site which is located in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High Street and George Street.

Hadleigh & Boxford Patient Participation Group Prescription items no longer routinely prescribed in primary care NHS England has announced recommended guidance for certain low value treatments to no longer be provided on the NHS. Last year 1.1 billion prescription items were dispensed in primary care at a cost of £9.2billion. Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group spent £1m on prescribed paracetamol alone last year. Across England there is a lot of variation in what is being prescribed and to whom. Often patients are receiving medicines which have been proven to be ineffective or in some cases dangerous, and for which there are other more effective, safer and cheaper alternatives For low value medicines, NHS England consulted on a list of 18 treatments, drawn up with GPs and pharmacists, deemed to be ineffective, over-priced and of low clinical value. Of the 18, NHS England has agreed these treatments should no longer be routinely prescribed: • Homeopathy – no clear or robust evidence to support its use • Herbal treatments – no clear or robust evidence to support its use • Omega-3 Fatty Acid Compounds (fish oil) – essential fatty acids which can be obtained through diet, low clinical effectiveness • Co-proxamol – pain killer which has had its marketing authorisation withdrawn due to safety concerns • Rubefacients (excluding topical NSAIDS) – warming muscle rub products, limited evidence • Lutein and Antioxidants – used to treat the eye condition age related macular degeneration , low clinical effectiveness • Glucosamine and Chondroitin – used for joint pain, low clinical effectiveness NHS England has issued guidance to GPs and CCGs to remove ineffective, unsafe and low clinical value treatments, such as some dietary supplements herbal treatments and homeopathy, and restricting the use of a further 11. They anticipate that this will save up to £141 million a year across England. NHS England also plans a consultation on the prescribing of some ‘over the counter’ products. Areas include those that: • Can be purchased over the counter, and sometimes at a lower cost than that which would be incurred by the NHS – paracetamol is an average of four times as expensive when provided on prescription by the NHS, compared to when it is purchased in pharmacies or supermarkets. It can costs around £34 for 32 on prescription including dispensing and GP consultation fees • Treat a condition that is considered to be self-limiting, so does not need treatment as it will heal/be cured of its own accord, such as a common cold. • Treat a condition which could be managed by self-care, i.e. that the person does not need to seek medical care or could visit a pharmacist. Some over the counter products currently prescribed are quickly and easily available in community pharmacies where the public can also ask for an NHS consultation with a pharmacist if they are unsure about what treatment they need for minor conditions.

Visit to Gainsborough House Sudbury Pupils in KS2 visited Gainsborough House in Sudbury where they had an introduction to Gainsborough’s landscapes and became portrait artists themselves. They drew close ups and whole pictures in the style of Gainsborough looking at colours and textures. They also completed part of the Talbot Trail around Sudbury which is full of interesting and surprising information about our local town. Once back at school they researched facts about Sudbury and physically produced a chronological timeline!! Harvest Assembly Our children and staff were joined by parents and the newly appointed Reverend Elke Cattermole to celebrate our school Harvest assembly. Children read poems and sang songs that they had been learning. Our Charity this year was the Stowmarket Food Bank. The kind donations were collected as the children came into school and these have been taken to help those in need. Refreshments were also available and donations raised £44.00 which will go to the Macmillan Cancer Care charity. Thank you to everyone for their generous donations. Grandparent’s Lunch Over 190 lunches in two days were served when grandparents joined our pupils for lunch! We always receive such a wonderful response from this special occasion and it is a privilege to meet grandparents and show them the school. One of our thank you notes is reproduced below of which we are very proud! “To all the staff and Key Stage 2 students..... I would like to say a huge thank you for inviting the grandparents to share a delicious roast dinner today. It is such a lovely idea and is greatly appreciated. A special thank you too to the cooks and ‘bottle washers’ for all the extra work they must have had to do”. U9/U11 Cross Country Event Pupils were invited to Hadleigh High School to compete in a cross country event held on Friday 20 September. They all completed their event and did exceptionally well! PTFA Pumpkin Competition On Wednesday 16 October, children from the school met up locally to show off their entries at the PTFA Pumpkin carving competition. There was an amazing turnout for this event and the three winners were each given a prize for their efforts, with the winner also receiving a Hollow Trees voucher. Is your child due to start school September 2020 or at any time in the future? If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016, then you will need to apply for a school place for academic year which starts in September 2020 before the deadline of 15th January 2020.

A Fun-filled Charity Concert in St Mary’s Church, Stoke-by-Nayland Saturday 23rd November at 6.30 pm Light a beautiful church with candles, fill it with wonderful voices and raise funds for a great cause – what more could you ask for? Local singers Lyn Davis (soprano) and Malcolm Boulter (tenor) will join forces in the marvellous parish church in Stoke-by-Nayland to perform a selection of well-known favourites from the twentieth century. Lyn, who sang professionally with English National Opera (ENO) as Lyn Cook, enthuses about the evening, “I am delighted that we have been able to organise this concert in which Malcolm and I can sing together, as we have known each other for many years. We have compiled a programme of popular songs that we thoroughly enjoy singing and that we’re sure the audience will enjoy too. “I’m really looking forward to the evening which, especially with Malcolm’s humour and with our guest performers, promises to be great fun.” Malcolm adds, “Lyn has been immersed in opera and oratorio for much of her life and I have been mainly involved in conducting church music. This is a great opportunity for us to forget our work-based genres and to select songs simply because we enjoy singing them.” It’s also an important event for the Farming Community Network (FCN), a charity that provides pastoral and practical help to farmers who have no-one else to support them when things go horribly wrong. Tickets are £12.50, including light refreshments during the interval, and are available from the Theatre Royal Box Office Tel: 01284 769505 or e-mail: booking@theatreroyal.org Benefice Of Stoke-By-Nayland, Nayland With Wissington, Polstead And Leavenheath

Kersey Mill Newsletter Over the last month, work has continued with the Mill’s stone machinery, namely the “runner” stones. These are being replaced before the associated stone furniture can be reinstated. Mill stones are stones used for grinding wheat or other grains and they are arranged in pairs.
Above the circular bedstone is the rotating “runner” stone, which actually does the grinding. Mill stones have to be accurately balanced, perfectly level and precisely the right distance apart in order for the process to work and also to prevent the stones from grinding against each other. The runner stone is supported by a cross-shaped metal piece (rind or rynd) which is fixed to a mace head topping the main shaft, which leads to the driving mechanism of the mill, the waterwheel. Each of the runner stones is divided into sections called harps. The harps have a complex grinding face cut into them consisting of “lands” which are raised sections and “furrows” which are the grooves. As the runner stone spins above the stationary bedstone it creates a scissoring or grinding action. When the grain falls into the centre of the runner-stone from the hopper and down through the shoe, it is forced outwards by the pattern on the surface of the stones and the centrifugal force. The grain is crushed between the lands and falls from the edge of the stone as flour. It will then pass down a chute where it can be bagged as 100% wholemeal flour. White flour is produced by a wiremachine or “bolter” which is a series of sieves, made from graduated fine mesh and used to separate the 100% wholemeal flour into bran, semolina, and white flour. The next phase will be work to the Mill’s elevators and bolters. Now that preparations for Santa’s Workshops are well underway, further restoration work will remain on hold until the New Year.

The finals and presentation evening of the summer darts league was held at the British legion on Monday 31st September. The darts were almost insignificant following the sad news that Cock Jets team member Paul Dawes (Dawsey) had passed away following a motorcycle crash a few days before. Moving tributes from team members and friends took place before any darts were played including dedicating their league win to Dawsey. The evening continued as best as it could with KO cup, doubles and singles titles to be settled. Cockney Rebels won the KO cup beating the George dragons in the final, Glenn Bentley and Kevin Sparkes also from the rebels took the pairs title from Callum Morrin and Lloyd Dodsworth of the Cock Jets. The singles final was a repeat of last year this time rebels Tom King coming out on top beating Colin Hynard from the Dragons. Thanks to the British Legion for holding the event, and to Melvin Tilbury, John Martin and all the helpers on night (you know who you are) See you in the winter.

Hadleigh Table Tennis Club A start has been made in the Ipswich League with Hadleigh “A” playing in Division 1 and Hadleigh “Owls” in Division 3. The “A” team are off to a good start and currently placed 4th from 10 teams. Two victories were registered against St. Margarets Jacks, 9-1, and against Pickwicks Stowmarket “A”, 64. The first loss was against a strong Britannia Swifts team by 9 games to one, Mike Emmerson recording the sole singles win. New addition Chris Mayhew has started the season well by winning six of his nine singles. Close behind is the dependable Mike Emmerson with five from nine. Streve Holland has won three from six. Unfortunately Team Secretary, Peter Wright, is still absent with an ankle problem sustained last season and may have to wait until after Christmas before returning to competitive play. The “Owls” having had two fixtures postponed have only managed two games. The first was a loss against Kingsfleet by seven games to three followed by a win against Britannia Buzzards by the same score. In the latter Rupert Pyett, David Rickett, and new player Richard Oakes, all won two singles games each. David has scored well in both matches having won four games from six played. Richard in his first season has won a commendable three from six, with Rupert winning two from three. Once they catch up on their postponed matches a higher League position should result. This Season’s League Cup has a record entry of nineteen teams. Both the “A” side and the “Owls” have byes in Round 1. It is a sad fact that as a Sport Table Tennis has suffered a drastic decline in recent years. This season the Ipswich League has only 40 teams playing in four Divisions. Five years ago there were 44 teams, and ten years ago 53 teams. Wind the clock back 20 years and there were 59 teams playing in five Divisions. Going even further back to season 1979/1980 there were 142 teams playing in eleven Divisions. There are many reasons for the decline, but the game in the Ipswich League is mainly being played by the mid to older generation. Regretfully it is a fact of life that only a few younger players are coming into the game and unless this alters the situation in the Ipswich League will not improve. Ken Rodwell (Secretary)

Over 40 Ladies dodged some very heavy showers to take part in our Autumn Meeting on Stoke's Gainsborough Course on Thursday, September 26th. It was the last major event of the golfing year so everyone was very pleased for Diana Harris, Lady Captain, who won the event and the Specialist Shield with 36 points. Runner-Up was Alison Jennings with 35 while three Ladies - Janet Hodge, Katie Clark and Katrina Bygrave - all scored 33. The afternoon greensomes front nine winners were Katie Clark and Catriona Chaplin with 16 points and Janet Hodge and Barbara Rowe took the back nine with 21 points. A good supper restored the spirits of those who hadn't done so well and we were able to see the fantastic array of goods donated by all Lady Members to a Colchester Food Bank.
Nora Hutchinson organiser for the day presented the Specialist Shield to Lady Captain Diana Harris
Hadleigh Tennis Club Two annual events to report this month. The match against Bildeston went ahead despite the threatening weather and rightly so as most was played in dry conditions. This year the Ladies’ match was tied and the trophy will be shared. The Men’s match was won by Hadleigh mirroring the first match in 1881. After the tennis a fine tea was enjoyed by the teams. The last Sunday morning in September saw the Club celebrate the end of the summer season with the traditional President`s tournament. This is fun event but still with a competitive edge. Members play tennis in a variety of formats, including mixed doubles, ladies and men’s doubles and this year in a new “champions” team tennis. Individual players accumulate points towards the result of the tournament. This year 20 members turned out despite the possibility of heavy rain. As it was the rain held off and the eventual winners were Liz Allen and Sandy Claireaux who share the “Ken Goddard memorial cup”, for the next twelve months. Peter Richards, Hadleigh Tennis Club president, presented the trophy to the worthy winners. Other prizes were won by Paul Knowles and Eunice Scott who won the prestigious President`s Tennis Quiz Prize!. The competition was followed by a convivial buffet lunch where members discussed the points that” just got away”. We play all year round on 3 floodlit all weather courts located on Layham Road next to the rugby club. For the winter season Club Play sessions are on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sunday mornings from 10.00am to 12.00 pm. If you are interested come along to any of the Club Play sessions and have a go.

Jubilee Cup Final for Stoke On the 30th of September, the team from Stoke by Nayland travelled down to Canons Brook on a very grey Sunday morning, all meeting at 11:30 as they prepared for their 3rd final in a row. The team of 2019 very much changed from the 2017 victors and very different from the team that started the season back in March, a testament the strength in depth. The pairs went off at 1:30 on the 8th, all striking the ball well whilst the singles then started at 2 on the 1st. After the first 5 holes the matches were very even but by the turn the score board was very blue, Playgolf up in 7 matches, 1a/s and 1 up for SBN. However after a run of pars the opening singles player for Stoke by Nayland, Ian Collett taking the first point winning by 3&2 but this was quickly counter balanced as Nigel Byham lost 5&4. Trevor Brace had his player at dormie 3 but a never say die attitude by the opposition meant the match went all the way with Trevor seeing it out on the 18th. Stoke 2-1 up. Quickly following this Eric Fisher 3&2 and Ian Todd 3&1 put Stoke in a very strong position. All supporters quickly shot over to the last singles match as this was key and it was a real ding dong but Rich Fryer just lost out on the 18th green. 4-2. All now jumped on buggies as pairs over on the 3rd, some distance away and there had been a big turnaround with both Maj Cutis/Keith Hodgson and then Norman Davidson/Darren Russell losing 4&3. 4-4. Over to the last pair Adrian Cherry/ Steve Martin, 40/50 supporters now watching on the par 3 5th and Adrian steps up to the plate and puts it 3feet from the hole- birdie secured to go 1 up with two to play. Adrian and Steve then both played the par5 6th so well, both on green in regulation with that man Adrian sinking the winning putt. And Stoke by Nayland take the trophy for the third time in a row, Richard Bland being presented the trophy by organiser Phil Redhead. Steve Clark
Hadleigh Hares September in these parts is dominated by the Great East Run. The half marathon is a hugely popular event and attracts over two thousand entries from the local area. The start is at Portman Road in Ipswich and the route takes runners out of town to Freston and back along the river estuary. This year a fantastic seventeen Hares took part some of whom are in the photo above. First lady Hare was Alice HeatherHayes who competed in 1:27:40, and first male Hare was Aiden Bell in 1:30:25. Congratulations to all our finishers! The other main event last month was the Hares Charity Quiz Night at the football club on 27th. Teams of six battled it out over some tricky questions set by quizmaster Bob Grimsey. A fantastic night raised £390 for CALM, the club’s chosen charity for 2019. Many thanks to Bob and his team for organising a great event.
