Partridge’s - a shop full of intrigue An exhibition on the fascinating history of Partridge’s shop in Hadleigh will be displayed in The Guildhall, Market Place, Hadleigh, on Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th October, 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. Mounted by Hadleigh Archives Group of the Town Council, it charts nearly 200 years of trading on the same site. Mention Hadleigh to anyone who has been to this Suffolk market town and they will invariably say something along the lines of: “Ah, Partridge’s, what a wonderful shop”. It has built its reputation as the sort of place where a person can go in and buy anything from a single lost nut, to a lawnmower or a teapot. In fact, it started off as an ironmongers in 1819 when the then owner, Thomas Pritty, “Respectfully informs the inhabitants of Hadleigh and the Public in general” that he had commenced business as an ironmonger, but selling china, glass, earthenware, as well as “goods of every description”. That pretty well sums up the range of products today. Over the centuries the business changed hands several times and grew to be a major supplier of agricultural implements ranging from Ransome’s ploughs to combine harvesters. At one time its foundry, the manufacturing section, employed no less than 15 men and boys. ...Continued on page 4

Partridge’s of Hadleigh - a shop full of intrigue Interestingly, the owner was targeted as a wealthy man. On 27th October 1838 the Ipswich Journal reported a daring highway robbery a mile out of Hadleigh, during which Mr Pritty was stopped by “two foot-pads” who knocked the lamps on his fourwheel chaise to pieces and robbed him of a silver watch and £3-£4 of gold and silver while holding him down with a strong neckerchief.
A group of Partridge’s employees believed to be taken in the 1960s. Identification of these individuals will be welcomed
Another tale involved the “dreadful murder” of a shoemaker and corn chandler who lived in two cottages, 3 & 5 George Street, later becoming part of Partridge’s retailing area. He was shot with a musket by a neighbour, while locking up his storage premises at night. The neighbour, Edward Offord, 65 and retired, once a sergeant in the Suffolk Militia, then tried to take his own life by slashing his throat. However, he was apprehended, sewn up, and subsequently faced trial where he was found guilty, but insane. Few people will know about this grizzly crime while browsing through the household and gardening sections of the delightfully timbered building! The owners, having moved away, the future of M W Partridge & Co is yet to be determined.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029
It is the season of mists and yellow fruitfulness, darker evenings and the SESAW £1 at Newton Green! Yes, we are back at the Village Hall, School Lane, CO10 0QS on 12th October with bargains for friends, family and pets, a raffle, homemade refreshments, free entry and parking. Meanwhile, at the Sanctuary are several dogs in need of new loving homes. Bruno is a two year old Jack Russell and Chihuahua cross. This little chap loves his walk and is fine with dogs his own size but afraid of bigger dogs. He would best suit an adult only household or maybe one with older children only. We also have Boris, a friendly Bedlington cross, only eighteen months old. He would do well with a hearing companion dog as he is deaf. Lady is a friendly, two year old female crossbreed. She needs an active owner as she is full of energy, would do well at agility and should be the only pet. As the days grow shorter we spend less time in the garden but there is something interesting going on in the shed. The fundraisers are busy sorting goods for the £1 Sale and they always include lots of doggy treats so I think it’s time they were supervised by me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua. Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare, Reg.Charity No.1124029, Stoke Road, Leavenheath, CO6 4PP. Tel: 01787 210888, www.sesaw.co.uk. Usually open 10-1pm Thurs-Sunday

Do I need a solicitor to make a Will?
on your side, at your side...
wills and trusts
In theory, you can make a Will yourself, but the following examples show that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea. Client: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother witnessed his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will. Does this matter?â&#x20AC;? Me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, your brother will not inherit under his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will.â&#x20AC;? Client: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a homemade Will 2 years ago. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m slightly concerned because I signed it, then one witness signed it and then another.â&#x20AC;? Me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Will is not valid because it was not signed/acknowledged in the presence of two witnesses at the same time.â&#x20AC;? For a Will to be valid, proper formalities must be strictly complied with. Failure to do so can render a Will invalid. In circumstances where the validity of a Will is challenged, evidence may be required to show that the person making the Will had knowledge of and approved the contents of the Will. If you are considering making a Will, contact us to ensure that your Will is valid and to avoid any pitfalls. If you discover a defect in an existing Will, you should seek the advice of a solicitor as soon as possible. If you would like further information, please contact Kay, telephone 01473 826311, email kay.baker@gotelee.co.uk.

I am a qualified veterinary care assistant and have worked in a variety of vets practices and the RSPCA over the years and have dealt with a host of challenges in the industry.

Sudbury & District Citizens Advice My mum has a non-visible disability, which causes her walking difficulties. I heard something on the news about how she may now be eligible for a blue badge. How can I find out about this and help her apply? On 30 August, the Blue Badge scheme was extended to people who live in England and have non-visible disabilities or conditions which affect their ability to walk. As a result, your mother may now qualify for a badge. Your mother will be automatically eligible if she gets certain types of benefits. These include some categories of Personal Independence Payment and the higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance. If she’s not automatically eligible she can still apply for a badge. Her local authority will use evidence from doctors and other healthcare professionals to determine whether she qualifies or not. Your mother can check her eligibility and apply for a local authority-issued Blue Badge at gov.uk/apply-blue-badge. If she can’t do this herself, you can apply on her behalf. You’ll need a recent digital passport-style photo, proof of her identity, address, details of any benefits she receives, her National Insurance number, and evidence of how her non-visible disability or condition affects her mobility. If you need help with a problem contact Sudbury & District Citizens Advice, Keyse House, Acton Lane, Sudbury, CO10 1QN. Telephone 01787 321400 or 0300 330 1151, email advice@sudburycab.org.uk or call in to the drop-in advice sessions Mon to Thurs between 10am and 1pm. For further information see www.citizensadviceorg.uk We also offer a drop-in advice session on the first Thursday of every month at the Ansell Centre in Hadleigh, no appointment necessary

As we reach the turn in the seasons, with nights drawing in and the mornings becoming crisp, attentions inevitably shift to preparing for the colder months ahead. For many South Suffolk residents this results in a call to the oil companies for a pre-emptive tank top-up. Concerningly, following recent attacks on some of Saudi Arabia’s major oil facilities, we may see a sustained oil price spike that could impact local households. These attacks, which are currently attributed to drone strikes, are a timely reminder of the way in which international events often impact our daily lives. At first the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel movement based in Yemen claimed responsibility for the strikes, but attention has since focused on Iran itself as a more credible instigator. Whoever is found responsible, one point I observed in relation to coverage of this important story is how discussion of knock-on effects is always directed at motorists. That is entirely understandable, since higher oil prices will mean dearer petrol and in a constituency like South Suffolk most households still depend on cars. Nevertheless, it is interesting how commentators never seem to mention heating oil. This is an unfashionable old technology but one that many households – including my own – rely on in rural parts of the county because of legacy heating kit that is far from easy to replace. So whilst it is crucial to get the foreign policy right in this matter, there are also huge implications for our commitment to net zero carbon emissions, which must involve finding new affordable and practical ways to heat period homes that are not connected to mains gas. The very fact of having a finite tank makes one vulnerable to price spikes. Of course, oil prices fluctuate constantly and it might be that by the time your next kerosene top up is due markets will have calmed. Either way, the episode is a reminder of how much we still rely on oil, and the wider reward that would come from truly weaning us off it: greater self-reliance, reducing our susceptibility to unpredictable events far from home.

Couples save up to 21% on Wills Suffolk law firm, Holmes & Hills Solicitors offers a Will writing service which provides couples with a saving of between 16% and 21% on legal fees, when making Mirror Wills at the same time. Why make a Will at all? Quite simply, if you do not make a Will the law says who inherits your estate. Most people assume that everything would pass automatically to their partner but this is not necessarily so. Your estate may pass to the person or per-sons you would not want to inherit. Making a Will ensures that the people you want to benefit when you die receive your estate. Couples often wish to receive advice as follows: • How to plan for future care needs • How to provide for children and grandchildren • Provide for children from a former relationship • How to update an existing Will • What steps they should take if choosing to leave out a beneficiary from their Will • How to set up a trust • How to protect your contribution to the purchase price of a property when you live with someone else* • How to give away an inheritance in a tax efficient manner** If you have children from a previous relation-ship: Making a Will is very important for couples who may have children from previous relationships and want to ensure that their money will pass to their own family. This can be a sensitive issue between couples – but it doesn’t have to be so. It is possible to draft a Will making sure that your spouse/ partner is provided for in the event of your death and ensuring that ultimately your family will inherit your estate. No better time to make a Will – save up to 21% Married couples and longterm couples save between 16-21% when making Mirror Wills, with the exact saving being subject to the complexity of the affairs. There really is ‘no time like the present’ for you and your partner to make your Wills. What is a Mirror Will? If you and your partner wish to make Wills, that are in the same terms, these are called ‘Mirror’ Wills. Each Will is a separate legal document but the content is identical and ‘mirrors’ the other. These Wills often provide that the estate of each individual is left to the surviving spouse and then to other beneficiaries on their death. To enquire about making your Wills, call Holmes & Hills Solicitors in Sudbury, on 01787 275275. *Declaration of Trust **Deed of Variation Couples save 16%-21% when making Mirror Wills at the same time

News from Kersey School Squirrels (Reception) Squirrels have quickly settled into our school routine. They are enjoying learning all about Africa using books such as Elmer and Handa’s Surprise to help. We have been doing lots of fun activities including painting, cooking, building, dancing and singing. We are all extremely excited about our trip to the science museum in London later on this month. Hedgehogs (Years 1 and 2) In Hedgehogs, we are learning all about Africa. We have learnt about the world’s seven continents and where Africa is on a world map. We will be learning all about the landscapes and animals that can be found there. We are really looking forward to our trip to the Science Museum next week where we will be exploring our science topic on living things and their habitats. In English, we have been working hard learning all about nouns, adjectives and verbs. In Maths, the Year 1 children have been thinking about ordering and comparing numbers to twenty. Year 2 have been looking at place value and comparing numbers to 100. We are really looking forward to learning lots more this year. Badgers (Years 3 and 4) What a great start to the year we have had in Badgers class this term. Our topic this half term is 'Living in a Material World.' So far we have looked at fashion from the 1900-1940s. We have even created our own ration books. We were shocked to find out that we wouldn't be able to afford half of our wardrobe on our ration coupons! In Science we are looking at different forces and created our own experiment to test how much friction different surfaces had. There were cars flying all over the classroom. We cannot wait for our trip to the Science Museum in London next week and our cross country competition at Hadleigh High School on Friday the 20th. Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls have started the term with their topic on Plastic Problems. They have been learning about the impact of plastic on our planet and what they can do about it on a personal and local level. As part of their work in DT, they have designed their own eco-friendly rubbish bins; they are going to build prototypes over the next few weeks. In Science, they have begun to review their learning about materials, which links really well to their topic. We can't wait for our whole school trip to the Science Museum next week to learn even more! Come and visit! We will be holding open events on Monday 4th November and Tuesday 5th November where you are welcome to come and have a look around our school anytime between 10am and 2pm. Our whole school nativity will be taking place on Wednesday 18th December at 1:30pm in St Mary’s Church, Kersey – get into the festive spirit and come along if you can.

Kersey Mill Newsletter Over the summer Kersey Mill welcomed a large number of visitors from both the local community and from further afield, especially during the nationally organised Heritage Open Days that were held in September. It was a great opportunity for everyone to see the extensive restoration work that has been carried out to the Mill so far, as well as enjoy a walk around the beautiful gardens and grounds. From the beginning of October, work gets underway to transform the Mill in preparation for the increasingly popular Santa’s Workshops. The Workshops are the major fundraising events which are held throughout December in order to help with the Mill’s ongoing restoration. Santa’s Workshops are the perfect event for children and adults to experience the magical build up towards Christmas and the festive season. Each Workshop lasts approximately 1 hour and your little ones will enjoy a short story read by Mrs Claus in the cosy log cabin before heading over to Santa’s Workshop, where they will meet Santa and help his wonderful elves prepare for Christmas. Activities include face painting, mixing reindeer food, craft work, loading the sleigh, checking the names on Santa’s Scroll and singing along with Santa. The Santa’s Workshops are run from 10.30am-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays throughout December starting from Sunday 1st and for the final weekend this will also include Friday 20th and Monday 23rd. Tickets Are Selling Fast! They are available to purchase from www.kerseymill.net (via Eventbrite, a small booking fee applies) and you will be able to select your preferred date and time.

Free hearing assessments on offer in Hadleigh One local business is holding a free hearing care event to enable the residents of Hadleigh to communicate with confidence. Hearing loss affects 1 in 6 people in the UK and it takes 10 years on average before those who have noticed a loss in their hearing choose to seek help. Research has also proven that other than a reduced quality and experience of life, hearing loss can also lead to cognitive decline resulting in conditions such as depression and dementia. The Hearing Care Centre, which is a family-run business with 26 centres across East Anglia, will hold a special Hearing Care Day at their clinic in Health By Design on Hadleigh’s High Street on Tuesday 29th October from 9am until 5pm. Complimentary hearing assessments will be on offer at the event, as well as professional advice from The Hearing Care Centre’s award winning team to help you hear to your full potential. Karen Finch, founder and lead audiologist at The Hearing Care Centre said “Making the decision to book a hearing assessment really can be lifechanging. Those who take action to treat their hearing loss report improvements in their overall quality of life and this has a positive impact on one’s relationships by improving their ability to communicate effectively.” To find out more information or to book an appointment, call The Hearing Care Centre on Freephone 0800 096 2637 or visit hearingcarecentre.co.uk/healthbydesign

Hadleigh Community Choir And you thought choirs do singing? Surely not! So any guesses what this lot are up to? Maybe rehearsing Leaving on a jet plane... or Fly Me to the Moon... or maybe they just haven’t really got the hang of I’m a Little Teapot yet? No, just the start of warming up after the summer break and rehearsals for Hadleigh on Show on 5 October where we’re backing the fashion show with songs from different decades. So here’s your chance to jive along with At the Hop and fill the osteopath surgeries, or to sing along with Blue Moon, Hallelujah, Mamma Mia and Mr Blue Sky. After that we’re on to a whole new range of beautiful songs for the Christmas concert on 7 December, many of which I have to admit are new to me and others. The Huron Carol anyone? Or Ring Out Solstice Bells? Torches? Some lovely old ones you’ll know like A Hazy Shade of Winter (Paul Simon), A Winter’s Tale (Tim Rice and Mike Batt) and Winter (Tori Amos). And then there’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, which if you were in QD at the end of August you’d think it probably was. But come and sing with us and take your minds off it! Newcomers always welcome to give it a try and see what you think. All you need is enthusiasm. Just turn up on Thursdays at 7.30pm at the United Reformed Church in Hadleigh or contact Stella (01473 823477) or John (01473 823791). www.hadscommunitychoir.onesuffolk.net Facebook: Hadleigh Community Choir

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday September 9th 2019: I know what you're thinking - 'that photo doesn't look much like Deb Hart and a woven willow dragonfly!'- and you would be right, sadly our speaker for the September meeting was laid up with a bad back. However that didn't stop us having a good evening, at short notice one of our club members, Sue Mordey, agreed to step in. Several years ago Sue made a career change from teaching, going on to train as a garden designer and garden design was her theme for the evening. Her way of working was very hands on and she stressed some important elements in designing a new garden - take account of the surrounding area, emphasising good points, for example a good view and disguising others. Essentials in good garden design are variety of form, texture, scale and proportion and, finally, light, shade and colour. All these were illustrated by examples of gardens she had worked on over the years. At the end of the evening she gave us an overview of the development of her own garden in Semer which was, at the start, a field with a horse pond, very little wildlife and not much else. After a few short years she has created a very large pond, a beautiful meadow, island beds, a vegetable garden and a woodland area. The garden, which she continues to develop, is now home to a wide variety of insects, bats, badgers, ducks and even otters! Our competition for September was for the longest runner bean and congratulations go to Kate who managed to grow one measuring 23 inches! Thanks to everyone who took part. Monday October 14th: Our speaker for October will be Shirley Sampson from the RSPB garden at Flatford, she will be sharing with us her expertise on wildlife gardening, a subject high on the agenda at the present time. 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 October is 'a vase of autumn colour', new members and visitors are always welcome. If you would like to find out more about the club we will be taking part in 'Hadleigh on Show' on Saturday October 5th, we look forward to seeing you there. hadleighgardenclub@gmail.com

We will be at the Hadleigh on Show event on Saturday 5th October, Table 17 in the Old Town Hall, so do come and see us, find out more about our Christmas Day event and also maybe leave a bid on one of the auction lots.

Down to Earth ...with Dave With the summer sun now not so strong it is a good time to remove any greenhouse shading. Posh structures have lovely expensive blinds fitted on the inside of the glass, these can be pulled up as required. The old traditional shading is a coat of whitewash painted on the inside of the glass, this is a bit messy to remove. My answer is to use slatted bamboo blinds normally used on windows indoors, over the years I have acquired several of these at car boot sales. They are ideal when unrolled on the outside of the glass and secured down to various old weight with their strong nylon pull cords, to allow as much light in as possible, they are now just rolled up and put away till next year. Now is the time to give the greenhouse a clean before we get any cold weather and plants left outside for a few hours will not hurt. Now is the season of cutting back, after the last of the autumn fruiting raspberries have been picked the canes should be cut right down to the ground. The summer fruiting ones should have only had the old fruit bearing stems cut right back to the ground with any fresh growth kept and tied in on whatever framework you have. They will all get a generous mulch of compost. The runner beans have all but finished now, they do get a bit stringy as they get older. Some of the best pods are left on the plants to provide seed for next year, only save the longest and fattest. Most of a bumper crop of butternut squash are ripening in the greenhouse but some are being left to grow a bit more on the plants, the ripening fruits can be placed on bricks or boards to stop them rotting, also remove any untidy or diseased foliage. Lavender bushes can be given a good haircut, but remember to cut only this year's growth and not to cut into older wood. This year we have hardly any apples so storage will not be a problem. An idea in one of the gardening magazines is rather than wrapping each individual fruit in paper, to cushion the fruit in paper shreddings from the office... when finished with these can be put on the compost. If you want to naturalise bulbs in your grass, cut a piece of turf, place to one side, fork over the exposed soil to the required depth adding some fertiliser if the soil is poor. Plant the bulbs at a depth of three times their size, replace the turf, gently tamping it back and filling in any gaps, give the area a good watering and wait for spring. On a recent visit to Polstead Mill to see the wonderful walled garden, greenhouse and gardens, the gardener mentioned a particular problem they were having with the weed oxalis spreading everywhere. This can be a very attractive low growing plant with small clover like leaves and bright small flowers in various colours. The problem is that the weed version can soon take over, spreading onto paths and into pots. The answer is never to put any of the plant on the compost heap but to burn it, once you have it it's very difficult to get rid of. That's all for this time, Dave

No need to fear Brexit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local food on the doorstep All we are hearing from our national politicians is doom and gloom. Rationing at supermarkets, less food in small shops and leaked government memos from Westminster quoting import 50-60% delays at major terminals and a push on prices. So are we all doomed to queues and higher prices as some commentators are stating? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Absolutely notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; states award winning Farmers Market organisers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Suffolk Market Events. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why are we talking about all the things that we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have when we should be talking about all the local food that Suffolk will continue to have Brexit or no Brexit. Talk to our local producers at our farmers markets and they will tell you the same story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is business as usualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Justine Paul, founder of Suffolk Market Events. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Suffolk has an abundance of superb local producers that do not rely on the supermarket or wholesale distribution but trade at regular markets every week around the county. Meat producers, fruit and vegetables, local fish, craft ales, jams, bread and much more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all available as usual each week at the farmers market that have travelled from just down the road and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been forced to sit at any ferry terminal in Europe.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jo Henderson a local pork farmer who has developed a real following at the Hadleigh Street Market; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brexit will have little impact at all on us as a business - all our pigs are bred on farm in Suffolk & fed on locally sourced feed stuffs. We keep our mileage to a minimum by only selling within a 30 mile radius of the farm. We stand by our traditional value â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs the customer what it costs the farmer to bring the pig to marketâ&#x20AC;?. Justine Paul, who recently received The Clarissa Dickson Wright Award at the Country Alliance Awards as special recognition for her work developing local food markets for local communities continues: `It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long ago that we used markets for all our shopping and the associated community benefits we still see today at our markets. The markets have real impact for cohesion in rural areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a meeting place where all parts of a community mix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these are things that are rejoiced.

Sports fans queued for autographs from former England cricket captain Allan Lamb during a family barbecue and fun afternoon at Hadleigh Nursing Home. A stream of families arrived from the town for the event which took place in bright afternoon sunshine on Saturday. Mr Lamb, who played nearly 80 Test matches for England, visited the home in Friars Road ahead of his appearance in the evening at the Hadleigh Cricket Club Awards presentation. Mr Lamb chatted to staff, residents and visitors and signed photographs; the first six visitors received a free signed cricket ball. Signed cricket bats were two of the prizes in a raffle supporting Hadleigh High School student Maisie Button who has been raising money by making craft Allan Lamb with Roy Plumbly items to pay for her trip to Belize with and Home Manager other children from the school. They will Tracey Burt be involved in projects to help villagers in the Central American country. There was a free barbecue and garden games for children including target football, crazy golf and skittles; a bouncy castle proved very popular. Children’s entertainer Josh, from J and J Entertainments, provided disco music and lots of extra fun and games. There was also live music from local string group Trills and Frills, and a performance by Diamond Lites Majorettes. Hadleigh Nursing Home manager Tracey Burt said: “We were delighted Allan came along to help us celebrate our second anniversary. “We have come a long way since we opened on the site of the old Friars Hall nursing home and are thrilled by our glowing CQC report. “One of our regular respite residents, Clifford Rush, is a big cricket fan and loved talking to Allan who presented him with a signed hat. “One of our current residents, Peter Swallow, is also a cricket fan and enjoyed meeting one of his sporting heroes.” Following his appearance at the barbecue, Mr Lamb was guest of honour at Hadleigh Cricket Club’s awards night which was sponsored by Kingsley Healthcare, which operates Hadleigh Nursing Home. The company’s IT and marketing director Wasantha Darshana introduced Mr Lamb at the event ahead of a question and answer session with club chairman and Radio Suffolk cricket hour host Dave Mann. Mr Lamb recalled his Ashes’ exploits in Australia, including the experience of sharing a room and playing alongside cricket legend Ian Botham. Kingsley sponsored a new lifetime achievement award, presented by Hadleigh Nursing Home manager Tracey Burt to Roy Plumbly, a club legend who scored more than 11,000 runs in his career before taking on the role of chairman for 22 years.

Wow! What a first week at this amazing new exercise class… My skills were tested as nerves played havoc with my memory, resulting in some very mixed up routines. I forgot how to teach. My playlist decided to stop mid tune, ironically to a song called, ‘Put Your Phone Down.’ Yes, the playlist was on my phone. We got hot in the warm-up, giggled too much during the serious bits and generally muddled our way through moving to some fantastic music, that came from every decade since the 1960s. By the end, it was unanimously heralded fun and worth doing again. Yay! X2M is for everyone. Men, women, old, (I’m 60), young, fit, unfit and even those who need to stay seated. There are no super humans in lycra and crop tops. We all just turn up in something comfy and loose. Exercises are presented at 3 levels; no impact, low impact and high impact. You choose your level and work within your comfort zone until you feel confident enough to try the next. Routines are easy and repetitive for now so that even the least coordinated can learn the basic steps. In time, you will get to choose the music and I will choreograph to your tastes. If there’s a beat, there’s a move. If you have never ever been to an exercise class before it does not matter. You will feel very welcome and nobody needs to be embarrassed because the most confused person there is always me, the leader. If you are interested in joining us, please call me, Anne-Louise on 07747556565. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO BOOK TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT. Classes are currently at 7.15pm on a Tuesday, but if there is enough interest, I shall quickly start class 2 one morning a week. My aim is to have 3 Hadleigh classes. Take care everyone. Next month – photographic evidence that fun gets everyone fit! Telephone Anne-Louise Hall on 07747 556565 to book

Wreath Making Workshops Autumn, my favourite time of year. Cooler days, cosier evenings and the turning of the leaves on the trees. It is also my favourite time in The Flower Shop. The flower stand is a picture of reds, oranges and golds, filled with an array of a different colours and textures of flower and foliage. With Autumn here, my thoughts and planning turn to Christmas. Last year our bespoke door wreaths were selling faster then my and Ruth's hands could make them and our wreath making workshop was our busiest, and might I say most enjoyable yet! With this in mind I have added a second class to our calendar this year and i'm already stocking up on beautiful accessories to add to our table of decorations to finish our wreaths. For those of you who have never enjoyed one of our workshops, it really is an enjoyable experience and good fun. Suitable for those who have a creative mind or those who have never dabbled with wreath making before. Trust me, you will walk away at the end of the evening with something you will be proud of. At the start of the evening I will guide you through step by step, how we are going to make your wreath, provide an array of different foliage, flowers, berries, ribbons and accessories to create your masterpiece and let you choose your design. This isn't a follow me class, I simply explain the method and let you do the rest. Picking and choosing which items you would like to use, with me on hand, walking around the table helping anyone who needs me. My husband Mark, is chief tea maker for the evening and baker of the half time cake.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre As usual, I’m a bit on the drag with our news from the Centre; you journalists need copy sent in earlier and earlier! Which is not to sound ungrateful, of course we writers like to be published and are very appreciative of the space you give us. So my news is of last month’s grand clean up before the new term started. On a gloriously sunny but cold day a great many volunteers pitched up to get the buildings and equipment looking spick and span again. Babs and I were not exempt needless to say. All the resident spiders in our room were moved on and out, not to mention the dust and hay from the yard, and the accumulated ‘rubbish’ that gathers in case it might be useful. Worst of all for the humans up here was the devastation wrought by pigeons. A flock had moved in to the cart shed where all the games equipment is housed and it had done what roosting birds will do, all over everything. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Trustees (no less) donned protective clothing, boots and masks, and set to with power hoses. Surely this is dedication? Thank you, you two, from the bottom of out hearts. I have a regular visitor outside the window of my room, did you know? Tony motors up here from Raydon most mornings on his mobility scooter to park in the sun and look at the ponies and see what’s going on. He kindly agreed to let me publish this lovely photo of him, thanks, Tony! Thank you as well to the volunteer team from Fisher Jones Greenwood Solicitors from Colchester who helped clear and cut the fields at Shelley recently. Ties, Lisa, Lawrence, Scott and Lucy. They did sterling work, supported admirably by Rob. Just the job to give the regular maintenance team a morale boost. We have a pony day coming up on 5th October when our riders can spend all Saturday with one live pony of their choice, looking after it, making its stable nice, and finally riding it. There is always plenty of food involved I remember. But if you can’t be a lucky pony owner that day remember to come in to Hadleigh for the ‘Hadleigh On Show’ event 10.00am -4.00pm where we shall have a presence and you may be able to find out more about ME!! See you there. Website: www.shelleyrda.com Telephone: 01473 824172
Pause for Thought A favourite story from the Bible is about Noah and his ark. He was told to build a big boat, an ark to protect his family and all the animals from the coming flood. When the flood had subsided and it was safe for the animals and people to come out, Noah gave thanks to God for keeping them safe. God gave Noah a special sign that He would never flood the earth again and that there would always be a harvest. That sign is one we still see today, the colourful rainbow. Over the last few weeks our farmers have been working hard, gathering in their harvest. The Bible says, ‘As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.’ Genesis 8: 22. God has once again kept His promise of giving us a harvest. God is always faithful and keeps His promises. Next time you see a rainbow remember that it’s a special sign from our faithful God.

Hadleigh Walkers Our October walk on Saturday 12th will start at Hadleigh and finish at the Kersey Bell. It is a pleasant 7.5 miles through countryside to the Northwest of Hadleigh. We will meet at 0930 at St Mary’s School on Stonehouse Road. Our route will be Constitution Hill, Coram Street, Kersey Vale, William’s Green, Kersey Tye, Lodge Farm, passing close to St James’s chapel Lindsey which is worth a brief visit, Lindsey Hall, Priory Farm and on to the Bell. This pleasant local walk is not strenuous and takes about 3 hours to the Bell and the walk back to Hadleigh is about 3 miles for those feeling energetic. Alternatively, those with foresight could arrange for a car to meet them or be left earlier at the Bell. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground may be muddy or rough in places. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. Looking further out to November, we are still thinking but if anyone has any suggestions we will be happy to consider them. More details next month.

Complex installation sees local home improvement firm nominated for top industry award An award-winning home improvement company has been shortlisted for a major industry award, following the completion of a challenging conservatory renovation project. SEH BAC, which specialises in windows, doors and conservatories, is nominated for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Installation of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the glazing industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious Conservatory & Orangery Awards. The nomination recognises a recent project where SEH BAC transformed a tired and inefficient conservatory into a useable, year-round living space. In addition to replacing the existing windows and doors, SEH BAC replaced the old polycarbonate roof with a fully-insulated solid tiled roof. John Savage, Managing Director of SEH BAC comments: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to be nominated for such a prestigious award. It was already rewarding for us to hear such positive feedback from the homeowner, but to receive this wonderful nomination on top is just the icing on the cake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a fantastic, yet complex project transforming a large, p-shaped conservatory with a new efficient solid roof with large glazed feature panels. Whilst our team faced challenges with the property, they did an incredible job once again. This nomination serves a true testament to the hard-work and dedication of our 200-strong team, who maintain our commitment of delivering expert craftsmanship with unwavering customer service.â&#x20AC;? The SEH BAC team will find out if they are victorious at the luxury awards ceremony, held at the iconic Midland Hotel in Manchester on Wednesday 30th October. The nomination follows the news SEH BAC has been named South-East Company of the Year by the Master Window & Conservatory Installers Association (MWCIA). Last year, SEH BAC received the highly-coveted Consumer Confidence award from The National Home Improvement Council (NHIC). Both award recognise SEH BACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-levels of service and customer satisfaction. Based in Ipswich and operating across the South-East, East Anglia and the Home Counties, SEH BAC have been in business for almost five decades. The firm is part of One Group Construction, a ÂŁ160 million group of specialist construction companies operating nationwide. For more information, call 0800 666 444 or visit www.sehbac.com

Hadleigh Swimming Club News Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since Hadleigh Swimming Club has shared what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been up to but there has certainly been lots going on. Many of our swimmers (and one of the coaches) took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Great East Swim at Alton Water back in June â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rare chance for competitive open-water swimming in Suffolk. That month also saw the final two rounds of the Suffolk ASA Summer League, where the Dolphins gave one of their best team performances for some time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well done to those who represented HSC. July saw the season close with an open meet hosted by TeamIpswich Swimming - the fun and prizes helped make up for the weary swimmers who were ready for their Summer break. September saw the new season open with a sprint meet at Felixstowe and the swimmers blew the cobwebs off with some encouraging performances. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heads down to get into shape for our annual Club Championships where we all come together for fun and the chance to take some club records. Good Luck to all our competitors. Our fingers are also crossed for former club member, Elliot Gladwell and our Team Manager, Val, who are both jetting off to Florida in October to take part in the World Biathle Championships. It just goes to show how far a start at Hadleigh Swimming Club can take you. We have been delighted to welcome new members over the past few months and the club is thriving. Why not come along for a trial and see what we have to offer? For more information on joining, please contact hadleighscsecretary@gmail.com

Since its launch 5 years ago, over 1000 cyclists have signed up and completed Hadleigh Cycling Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sportive, the Gayford Flyer. In total, they have cycled the equivalent of twice around the world. A large team of volunteers organised the sportive and afterwards received praise from many participants. One rider told the Club, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rode your event and just wanted to say a big thanks to you and your team. We really enjoyed our day... happy people, great route/signage and excellent burger/atmosphere at the finish! Will put your event into our 2020 calendar and be spreading the word within our club/friendsâ&#x20AC;?. The sportive is supported by a host of sponsors including: The George, The Pedal House, Crockatt Garage, Sunny Day Cycleworks, East of England Co-op, M Chisnall & Sons and Rattlesden Gliding Club. In other news, two Club members completed a mammoth journey across Italy. Kate Billingham and Gale Pryor cycled 430 miles and 36000ft of climbing in 6 days. If you fancy something a little less energetic, why not try our Sunday morning social rides from The George starting at 8am, with a guaranteed cafĂŠ stop, weather permitting. Adults and â&#x20AC;&#x153;capable children accompanied by an adultâ&#x20AC;? are all welcome. The distance is around 25 miles. Check out our Facebook page.

Suffolk Rockets Netball Club The last few months have been very busy for the club getting ready for the new season. In July we had our annual presentation evening to celebrate all the players achievements during the season, Congratulations to Tanya Cotter who was awarded Outstanding Adult Player of the season and to Charlotte Clay for Outstanding Junior Player, both players showing commitment to their Netball journeys as well as starting their umpiring qualifications. We are extremely proud of our u14 team who managed to secure a place in the East Regional u14 division 1 league for the 2019/2020 season, this is a huge achievement for the club and the players and the girls will be playing some of the biggest clubs in the east region. The team had their first game on the 8th September and they won 30-23. Also on the 8th September our adult teams took to the court in the pre season league tournament, it was a fantastic day, well done to Suffolk Solar who got runners up in Division 2, and Suffolk Rockets who also finished runners up in Division 1. A great start to the season! On the 15th September we entered 2 junior teams into the Sudbury Adult tournament, its very important some of our junior players get to play senior netball, it provides them with a different experience especially a more physical side to the game. Our teams did fantastic, our u15 team finished 3rd in the Cup division, and our u16 team won the Plate division. Our u15 team was the youngest team in the competition, to finish the day in the top division and finishing 3rd was fantastic. Our new season has started but we still welcome new players! if you are interested in either our junior club or adult/back to netball/walking netball please email Hayley suffolkrocketsnc@hotmail.com Walking Netball is taking place on Saturday 5th and 19th October 9am 10.30am at hadleigh high school, £5, no need to book just turn up! a fantastic fun and social session for all ages 14years plus, ladies and gentleman welcome, ideal for anyone wanting to get back into netball at a more relaxed pace, someone returning from injury or anyone who wants to try something a bit different!

St. Mary’s Raydon - Good News! St Mary’s Raydon has been awarded a grant towards the cost of repairs to the gutters and associated roof elements on the north side of the aisle roof. This has been a worrying issue for some time as it is helping to cause damp within the lavatory/Vestry. The grant comes from Historic England who are running a project for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport called the Taylor Review Pilot. The aim of the Pilot, which is taking place in Manchester and Suffolk, is to test some of the recommendations of a Review on the sustainability of English Churches and Cathedrals. Unlike some Continental churches there is no automatic funding from Government for places of worship in Great Britain, except for the reimbursement of VAT. Various organisations provide grants for ‘Heritage’ buildings but these are reducing and for some very small parishes a daunting task for which to apply. And of course Heritage is much more than ancient churches! The grants being awarded at the moment are designed as ‘just-in-time’ solutions to problems, that if not tackled will become major ones in a few years. St Mary’s are delighted that we have been able to satisfy the requirements of Historic England and so can deal with exactly this type of problem, keeping the church in good order for many years to come. Simon Tennent, Church Warden
