A Royal visit for Shelley RDA

The Centre has had such an honour bestowed on it: a Covid friendly visit by HRH The Princess Royal, on September 11th. The palace asked if we would mind having her at relatively short notice as she had regretted having to cancel her visit in April.

Shelley swung into action and our chairman Jan and Lyn worked like dingbats to make the visit a great success. Unusually for a Royal Visit, numbers were strictly limited so priority was given to as many riders as possible and those Coaches who give their time and energy to instruct our riders. All the usual officials from the County, our wonderful sponsors and donors, the regular volunteer army and many other deserving folk had to be left out. As a result the visit concentrated on those 30 people who were there, and the horses. Everyone had a chance to chat with Princess Anne, and she was most interested in the stories she heard. We do have some of our riders back in the saddle at last but it has taken a great deal of organisation. A new approach was needed. Riders have to stay in their cars and wait for their hat and boots to be brought to them there. They may not come in the yard at all. A new entrance gate has been set up beside a hand sanitising dispenser, and our riders now walk past the dung heap to get round to the mounting block. Lucky them. Our volunteers take on the task of delivering uncontaminated boots and a hat to each rider as he/she arrives, and the parent or carer helps get them dressed. After the ride has finished the carer or parent takes off the things that belong to us here, and places them on the ‘red’ table outside the stable block. That’s where a volunteer collects them for deep cleaning. Then between rides all the tack is disinfected and cleaned by other helpers. Its labour intensive but taking these precautions has allowed us to open up again. Here’s hoping all our readers stay fit and healthy as we reach the Autumn of this most peculiar year. Good luck everybody

At Holmes & Hills Solicitors we understand the importance of ensuring your and your loved ones’ legal interests are protected; but we also understand that you may have some concerns about coming in to an office to complete your Will. We believe it is our job to facilitate and support you in making your Will in the safest possible manner and have, following extensive review of government guidance, set out a number of ‘Safe Service Standards’ that will be in place when you come to one of our offices. Our team of expert lawyers will minimise the amount of time you have to spend in our office. Your lawyer can provide expert legal advice through telephone or video calls in order to take your instructions. This appointment will usually take around one hour. If it is necessary for you to attend the office, our lawyers will advise you of this during your call. Holmes & Hills’ Safe Service Standards include, but are not limited to: • Perspex screening in place in each reception area, receptionists wearing face shields; • Upon arrival you will be taken directly to the meeting room, to avoid sitting in a communal waiting room; • Perspex screen across the table between you and your lawyer; • Your lawyer will be wearing a full protective face shield and a fresh pair of gloves; • You will bring and use your own pen; • Appropriate social distancing will always be maintained between you and your solicitor; • The meeting room will have been fully cleaned before your arrival and will be cleaned between each appointment; • Hand sanitiser will be available in the main reception area as well as in each meeting room; • Face coverings will be provided and any client in the building must wear one unless they have a medical reason not to; • If you are unable to attend one of our offices we may be able to meet you at your home in a garden setting to comply with safe distancing to sign your Will or to witness your Will through an open window if a garden setting is unavailable. Having a valid Will remains the only way to ensure your estate is left in accordance with your wishes.

At the last meeting of the Polstead Village Hall Committee on the 23rd July, Sue Wigglesworth tendered her resignation, after a period of continuous service as Chairman since 1993. Bill Wigglesworth also tendered his resignation from the Committee after a similarly lengthy period of serving. Sue organised an upgrading and refurbishment of the Village Hall in the 1990s and it thrived under her leadership until the present period of lockdown due to Covid-19, which sadly brought to an end, at least temporarily, many of the activities that take usually place, both on a regular and occasional basis. Sue was responsible for the introduction of the regular and very popular Village Lunches, undertaking much of the cooking herself, along with a team of volunteers. She organised many fund raising events, most of which included catering of some kind. In conjunction with the Suffolk Digital Network she instigated the monthly Film Nights, which have been a huge success with audiences not only from Polstead, but also from the surrounding villages. Sue became Chairman of the Digital Network in 2004. Bill has ably, and for the most part singlehandedly, run the bar at Film Nights and other Hall events, as well as supported Sue in all that she has done. His presence on the Committee, nominally as representative for the Parochial Church Council, was much appreciated and will be greatly missed; his contributions were always informed and valuable, his manner infallibly courteous. Sue’s enthusiasm and dedication have been boundless. She and Bill have been a mainstay of Polstead village life throughout the years they have lived here. The Village Hall, the Village Shop, the District Council, the Parish Council, St. Mary’s Church and Polstead’s historical records have all benefitted from their love of village life. As many of you will know, Sue has been awarded a well-deserved M.B.E. for services to the Community. We thank them both from the bottom of our hearts and wish them well in the next stage of their lives.

Heritage Open Day at The Old School Hadleigh On Saturday 12th September, the Old School on Bridge Street, a Victorian building dating back to 1853, opened its doors, on National Heritage Open Day, as Hadleigh’s new arts and cultural venue. The occasion was marked with a popup Art Exhibition, featuring stunning artworks and sculptures by local artist, Cris Coe. A steady stream of over 350 visitors, from Hadleigh and surrounding villages, attended throughout the day, in keeping with strict social distancing guidelines. Some were pupils at the former Church of England School for Boys, who returned to the building for the first time in over 40 years, since it ceased operation in 1968. There were memories of frozen milk bottles and huddling around the pot belly stove in Winter. Also in attendance, were visitors who enjoyed many social and music events, when the building was owned by internationally acclaimed concert pianist and conductor, Thomas McIntosh and his wife Miranda. “It is so lovely to see the venue again.” Jobie West, from Hadleigh said “I attended many concerts and social events here, including a wake. It’s not just the music I remember, but also the food, as audiences enjoyed suppers during the interval and the chance to stroll around the garden.” The Open Day event was officially declared open by Cllr Frank Minns by reading out a handwritten message of goodwill from Miranda McIntosh, who is resident in a care home in Hadleigh. “I have been looking forward to this occasion, and very much regret that I am not able to be present, having to self-isolate. I was planning to tell you all about Tom’s purchase of the building and the alterations which he made and the garden which he created at the back from the playground. And I was going to relate details of his music which he performed here and particularly tell you all about the operas which he put on. I have actually prepared a list of them; 20 in all some of them little known and rarely performed. All of this will have to wait for another occasion and it only remains for me to say how pleased I am that the new owners of this fabulous building are keen to continue to make it available for public use. I am delighted to give this venture my full support. Good luck everybody!” The purpose behind this inaugural event, was not only to mark National Heritiage Open Day and to exhibit Cris Coe’s stunning paintings, drawings and sculpture, but also to consult local community by means of a questionnaire about events they would like to attend and participate in. The new co-owner and Venue Director is Ian Grutchfield, who grew up in Hadleigh and returned to his home town in 2015, having established a highly successful career in the tv industry said. “Suggestions included art, craft and photography exhibitions, concerts, poetry slams and talks on a wide range of subjects, such as gardening or history. More unexpected ideas included pop up dining and indoor ice skating.” Our Open Day combined new works of art & historical memories; and this idea of several forms of entertainment coming together is worth developing. For example, film, TV & music, or practical horticulture alongside a talk on flowers. I was honoured to meet Dick Jones - son of WAB Jones, Headmaster and author of ‘Hadleigh Through the Ages’; it was equally exciting to hear about the hidden talents of many local people - including a film/tv music composer and a costume designer!” The first scheduled event will be held on 2nd January 2021 in the form of a Poetry Slam featuring contemporary, award winning poet John McCullough. Tickets are on sale via www.hadleigholdschool.co.uk There will also be a full retrospective exhibition of Cris Coe’s stunning paintings, drawings and sculptures in March.

We've been reading a lot labout working from home and loneliness lately. Social isolation is the biggest challenge remote workers are facing. The numbers working from home have increased dramatically and physical separation of colleagues has led to more people feeling disconnected from friends at work or from their company. This can lead to poor outcomes for physical and mental health. How to overcome Work from Home loneliness • Work at least one day per week outside of your home. The first step to fighting feelings of isolation is getting yourself out of your home office and out into the world. Choose a local co-working space or coffee shop to work one day a week in proximity with other people. If you have a friend who also works remotely, make arrangements to work together. The simple act of getting out of the house could help you feel like you're part of a bigger community. • Take advantage of your flexible schedule during the day. If you work alone, whether it's from home or a co-working space, take advantage of the flexibility to build in time for extra socialising. This could mean grabbing breakfast or coffee with a neighbour, spending additional time with your children before dropping them off at school or taking your dog for a walk. Make time to socialise in ways you wouldn't normally be able to do. • Make plans after work if you're feeling isolated. If you can’t spend time working or socialising with your teammates as a remote worker, make plans with friends or family members during the week if you're feeling lonelier than usual. When your office is in your home it's harder to draw lines between work and personal hours. Making plans for after-work dinner or drinks will get you out of the house and off the computer so you don't become overworked or burnt out. • Join or form a group within your organisation for regular social connection. If your company has an internal website or instant messaging for day-to-day communication, use these to join or form a group where you can communicate socially with your colleagues. Whether it's a WhatsApp group for sharing photos of your pets or a Zoom meeting for working parents, build ways to connect socially and keep in touch with your teammates when you're feeling less connected. • Use video calls to communicate with your team. For those times when you need to brainstorm, arrange a video call to communicate your ideas. Whether you're trying to explain a complicated concept or debating with your teammate, you'll quickly grow frustrated trying to communicate effectively via text. If you're already feeling lonely as a remote worker, feelings of isolation could increase if you're running up against mixed messages on a regular basis. Instead, take advantage of video calls to help you communicate more effectively. • Finally, these unique times have meant change for everyone. Never has staying connected been so important.

I played football for the Nedging and Naughton Football Club for about sixteen seasons and was also the secretary for about half of that time as well. I do still have records and details of the club and it comes to my attention how many different sets of brothers who have played for the club. There may have been some before I played and maybe some after I had left, so apologies for any I may well have missed.

News from Whatfield CEVCP School It has been great to welcome pupils back to Whatfield CEVCP School this term, and to say hello to some year groups we hadn’t seen in person for some time. Parents have been really supportive of the staggered start and finish to the day and pupils have adapted really well to all the safeguards we have put in place this new term. They are now fantastic at handwashing and work very co-operatively in their separate bubbles. We have been pleased to welcome a large group of new Reception pupils to our school, and hope they will enjoy being part of the Whatfield School family. Acorns have been using the storybook ‘Here we are- notes for living on planet Earth’ by Oliver Jeffers as the basis of finding out all about looking after the world around us and they have all thoroughly enjoyed the story. In a bid to ensure we have plenty of outdoor teaching space we have installed a lovely gazebo on our field. We had a kind donation from our parents and friends group FOWS which meant that we could install the gazebo in July, ready for the new school term. We always have lots of exciting activities to look forward to, and as ever, if you would like to have a look on our website or follow us on twitter you can keep up with what we are doing. If you are a prospective parent and would like a tour of the school at the end of the day, please do telephone 01473 823 309 or email admin@whatfield.suffolk.sch.uk to make an arrangement. Lynne Golding, Headteacher www.whatfield.suffolk.sch.uk

From Lavenham Parish Council Since the initial national lockdown in March 2020, effectively communicating the latest rules has been critical to ensuring community buy-in and therefore success in the national campaign to manage this pandemic. Lavenham Parish Council has distributed 5 newsletters to each household, providing information about local services. Our Good Neighbours Scheme has organised and provided transport for older and vulnerable people to access GP care in Long Melford following the un-announced closure of Lavenham Surgery. After the GP Practice stopped paper requests for ordering of repeat prescriptions assistance has also been given to residents with accessing on-line services. A significant number of Lavenham residents have voiced their concern to the Parish Council about these changes. The Parish Council has made various informal approaches to the Long Melford Practice to provide them with feedback from the community. Unfortunately the Practice has not listened and has this led to a formal complaint to the Doctors from the Parish Council. Arrangements for important health measures for this coming winter are now underway, especially the flu’ vaccination programme, and now GPs have been told by the NHS that they must offer face to face appointments to patients who need this service and appropriately publicise that Practices are open. We hope to see an improved service from the Long Melford Practice in Lavenham very soon. We have all had to get used to new ways of working and no doubt, there will be further changes. We all equally share in social responsibility to keep everyone as safe as possible. A stark reminder that this danger has not passed are the new COVID 19 measures announced on 9th September, with notice of 5 days for their introduction. The rule now is that generally only 6 people can meet together as a group at any one time – anywhere. Restaurants and pubs must collect contact details of guests and keep that data for 21 days. Businesses that fail to do this may be fined.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a fine summer here in the East and we are now heading towards the winter months. Before we all rush to crank up the wall stat we should remember that our energy use comes at a price, for us and for the environment. With a little thought we can help ourselves to save on those nasty energy bills and at the same time do our bit to combat global climate change. Here are a few simple things that we can all do to making savings this winter. Quick Wins - Controlling the temperature inside your home is critical to good energy efficiency. Limit the wall stat to between 19-21 degrees and if your feeling the cold then consider wearing an extra layer. Check windows and doors for drafts and for a few pounds you can install draft excluder tape. Radiator Temperature Valves (TRVs) allow you to control the temperature in each room and so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste money heating rooms that you do not use. Turn them down. As the nights get darker, replace all your lights with LEDs. Now widely available, they offer some excellent solutions and best of all they use a fraction of the energy and so will help to lower your electric bill. Change your Energy Supplier - Switching supplier sounds like hard work! But in reality, the process is made very easy these days and there are even dedicated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;switchingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; companies that will help. Switchers can save on average ÂŁ130 on an annual dual-fuel bill so it is definitely worth a look. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big sixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy companies tend to have similar prices, but offer short term deals to attract new custom. But the most exciting development in recent years is the growth in smaller, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy suppliers. These also offer some good deals and the energy that they supply comes from 100% renewable sources such as; wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal and biomass. These renewable sources are key to maintaining a sustainable level of energy and they help to protect the planet from climate change. Government Green Home Grant - One of the best ways to save energy is to prevent heat loss and this is done by having good home insulation. The Governments latest Green Home Grant scheme is offering ÂŁ5,000 worth of vouchers for home insulation projects. The amount you receive, will be dependent on your personal circumstances. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a look. And if you qualify for the above, you can also apply for a second lot of vouchers to complete draught proofing, replacing single glazing, heating controls and hot water cylinders projects.

Cycling Consultation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want your views Hadleigh Town Council and Hadleigh Cycling Club are working together to look at ways to improve the infrastructure for anyone riding around Hadleigh on a bike and we would like to get your views. We are inviting anyone interested to take a ride around the town and point out the improvements they would like to see or complete an online survey. We are particularly keen to get your views on: 1. Cycle parking 2. E-bike charging points 3. Water bottle refill points 4. Potential areas for consideration as 20mph zones 5. How to promote cycling The ride-outs have been organised for Saturday, 10th October and if you would like to join us, please book via admin@hadleightowncouncil.co.uk or via phone on 01473 823884. We will meet in the Market Place and then ride in small groups, view locations and begin a discussion which will feed into the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cycling Development Working Group. Clearly, we are dependent on the weather and the COVID-19 situation at the time. The ride-outs will be risk assessed and suitable measures put in place to ensure social distancing when we are not riding. If you are unable to join us but want to pass on your views or contribute to the working group, you can access the survey via www.surveymonkey.com/r/XDM8DXK The results of the survey and the feedback from the ride-outs will be considered by the working group, which will meet via Zoom for the foreseeable future. Finally, why not try our Sunday morning social rides from the George starting at 8am, weather permitting. Adults and â&#x20AC;&#x153;capable children accompanied by an adultâ&#x20AC;? are all welcome. The distance is around 25 miles, with a cafĂŠ stop.

Hadleigh High School It has been an extremely positive start to the new academic year and we are delighted to welcome our students back after their summer break. I would like to thank our parents/carers for their on-going support in ensuring that our students continue to maintain the very high standards and expectations that we set here at the school, particularly around attendance, conduct, uniform and punctuality. I would also like to acknowledge how sensible and patient everyone has been since returning. Things look different in school with all students’ hand sanitizing as they enter and exit classes and classrooms being set-up to ensure social distancing between staff and students. The cooperation from all students has ensured that things have gone smoothly so far and I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge just how well students have returned to school and quickly adjusted to the new routines and expectations. At this time of the school year, many parents will be looking to make secondary school choices for their child/ren moving up in September 2021. As we face the challenges of Covid-19, we are considering very carefully how we can welcome you and your child/ren to the school to find out more about us before making your decision. As you may have been aware we had planned to host our annual Open Evening at Hadleigh High School in October, but I hope you understand that under the current circumstances, our Open Evening will not be taking place. We are very sorry, but we have to safeguard our visitors, students and staff at this time. This is very disappointing, as we like nothing more than to showcase what we can offer you and your child/ren at Hadleigh High School. However, I can assure you that the wonderful staff and students are working hard, behind the scenes, to make sure that no matter what the picture may look like over the next few weeks/months, we will be able to prepare your child/ren for their transition to high school. We are putting together a virtual tour of the school, with an introduction to our staff and the departments, which will be shared on our website very soon. Please take time to watch this with your child/ren, as this will not only give you a better idea of what goes on, but will also highlight some of the key differences between primary and secondary school, not least the many curriculum specialist areas we have for your child/ren to experience. If you have any questions about the school, and would like a copy of our latest Parent/Carer Handbook, please contact us at support@hadleighhigh.net. We look forward to welcoming you to Hadleigh High School in the not too distant future, and in the meantime, wish you and your families all the very best. Nicola Shingleton, Headteacher

35 Years on the High Street! March 2020 marked 35 years since Hadleigh Dental Surgery opened it’s doors to their first patient, and in the October (1985) I joined Mr Hems and Dawn to help build an already fast growing practice. I never imagined how busy the practice would become and how much I would enjoy dental nursing! Since then, it has grown from a single, ground floor surgery, with no reception, waiting room or office space (Mr Hems lived above and behind his surgery, and I can still smell the whiff of burnt toast and sizzling bacon as I rushed through the door at half eight in the morning!) - to a busy 5 surgery practice with 2 waiting rooms, reception area, de-con room, office space and staff area. Our practice ethos has always been to treat our patients with care and compassion, while delivering excellent duty of care and comprehensive treatments to a consistently high standard in order to maintain excellent oral and dental health. Life at Hadleigh Dental Surgery has spanned four decades! So it’s no surprise there have been many changes since the 80s days of padded shoulders and dodgy perms (and that was just the men!) The footwear alone has gone through some pretty radical changes, from black pointy heels (courtesy of ShoeSave on the High St where Kim, our first practice manager, used to work!), to today’s clinically compliant flat white clogs....and back in the day I definitely remember Dawn turning up to work after spending two months in Australia, wearing yellow espadrilles! Richard was not amused! The 90s saw many of us starting families, juggling a busy home life with an equally busy life at the practice. We have been very lucky to have had some excellent dental surgeons, hygienists, nurses and receptionists working with great loyalty over the years, many of whom are still with us! Phil Wilson who joined us back in 1990 as a VT who went on to become a partner with Richard Hems and now joint owner with Mr Singh who bought into the partnership when Richard moved on to pastures new in 2008. Emma joined us in 1996 as a fresh faced 16 year old, on the YTS, Lou (now our full time hygienist) in 1997, and Rachael Norris our lovely associate came onboard in 1998. March this year probably gave us our biggest challenge and change of circumstances when we were asked to close our doors for the first time since opening in 1985, due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19. Not being able to see and treat our equally loyal patients was very hard for all of us. Our 2 partners, Mr Wilson and Mr Singh and 3 of our nurses were able to volunteer at the UDC in Ipswich to treat patients with dental trauma or pain, and continued this over 9 weeks, up until we were allowed to re-open our doors again in Hadleigh. It was down to the partners’ excellent preparation and sourcing all the essential equipment which was required, in order for us to re-open on June 8th, the date the government gave us only the week before! A huge effort and amount of preparation took place at the practice, including ceiling ventilation systems and provision of powered air respirators for dentists and nurses with full PPE, all to ensure both patients and staff were protected as best as possible whilst in the clinical environment. I don’t think there can be many people who can say they have worked for the same company for 35 years and enjoyed it so much. I have made so many friends at HDS over the years, not just staff but patients too, and will always be forever grateful for that. I would personally like to thank Phil Wilson and Gurps Singh (and of course Richard Hems who had no idea what he was getting himself in to, employing me as a spirited 19 year old all those years ago!) for all their support through the years and continued dedication to keep Hadleigh Dental Surgery the excellent practice that it is today. I am so proud of our practice and the team I work alongside, we all work very hard to deliver an excellent service to our patients, and the lovely feedback we get from them, proves this. So we are really happy to be able to treat our patients once again in a safe and secure environment. Here’s to another 35 years on Hadleigh High Street!!

Active Suffolk gives recognition to over 50 individuals as part of the Lockdown Activity Hero campaign

Over 50 individuals across Suffolk are being recognised as Lockdown Activity Heroes for their selfless dedication to support, motivate and inspire local people to be physically active during the recent lockdown. As the impact of the coronavirus pandemic forced the whole country into lockdown from 23rd March 2020, all leisure centres, gyms and fitness studios had to close their doors until further notice. As a result, instructors across the nation stepped up to ensure we continued to benefit from the positive impact of exercise and physical activity. In Suffolk many teachers, instructors and clubs took to the online world to support us to be active through the delivery of virtual workouts and socially distanced challenges. The Lockdown Activity Hero campaign led by Active Suffolk aims to give recognition to those that went above and beyond in our local communities during a challenging and uncertain time. Throughout August Active Suffolk invited the public to nominate someone they felt had gone the extra mile to support them and their families to be active during the lockdown. The stories shared with Active Suffolk have all been published as part of the My Lockdown Activity Hero campaign to showcase the hard work of some of our wellloved, local physical activity champions. Amongst the stories shared, is that of Jay Austin the owner of Just Jay Dance in Ipswich. He said: “Thank you, this means so much and has really cheered me up! There really should be more campaigns like this that give thanks and share the positive stories of those in the local community” Jay was just one of the Lockdown Activity Heroes who moved over to the virtual world to continue supporting the children that would usually attend his face to face dance classes in Ipswich. One parent said: “Jay is always thinking about how he can help others and his efforts during lockdown proved this, without a thought for himself or gaining anything from it personally (except for very happy and grateful parents and children!)He is a true lockdown activity hero!" Research carried out by Sport England during this time found that 67% of adults agreed exercise was helping them manage their physical health and 62% agreed that it was also helping to manage their mental health. The stories shared with Active Suffolk as part of the Lockdown Activity Hero campaign highlighted the positive impact that ongoing physical activity support had on our local community’s mental health, whilst also identifying ways in which these efforts prevented feelings of social isolation and loneliness. The support of the Lockdown Activity Heroes has been undeniable and the benefits to our local community is vast. As many have now reopened their doors and are working to adapt to the new normal, it is important that their efforts during this challenging period have not gone unnoticed. All stories shared with the team at Active Suffolk are now available to view at www.activesuffolk.org/my-lockdown-hero

Parent toddler sessions are back!

We would like to thank everyone who has supported the reopening of the gym after such a long break. It has really lifted everyone’s spirits to be back at work, seeing children doing gymnastics and hearing the buzz of excitement throughout each Y MNASTIC session. The coffee shop is open to eat in or take away and as always, Anna is making a delicious selection of cakes to tempt us all. Our pre-school classes for children aged 2 years or above are available on Tuesday and Thursday. This class is led by our coaching team, but every child must be accompanied (and supported) by an adult. We have also put a booking system in place for our parent toddler sessions. These operate on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, but are becoming full very quickly. If you are interested in either of these options for children under 5 years old, please see our website or give us a call. www.hadleighstarsgymnastics.co.uk For specific details please call us on 01473 652155

Suffolk Artlink to create Utopia alongside adults with learning disabilities A Suffolk arts charity has opened booking for a home-learning arts course for adults with learning disabilities starting this month and themed around ‘Utopia’. The year-long Brave Art courses run by Suffolk Artlink are usually delivered face-to-face in Lowestoft, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, but have been specially adapted to be accessed from home over Zoom or by post and telephone to meet with current Government guidelines. Year 2 is now open for booking, and commences on Monday 21st September. The theme this year is Utopia, and students will be working with artists to explore different art forms, including drawing, model making, painting, poetry, sound art and animation. Project officer, Charlie Meyer, said: “We are delighted to have been able to continue providing our arts course for adults with learning disabilities without a pause since March. “We’ve made the most of Zoom, Facebook, telephone and post to keep in touch with our students, and they’ve made some incredible work together! “As social distancing continues to be necessary to keep our students safe we have adapted our delivery to ensure we continue to provide an inclusive course. “For the first time, we have divided Year 2 into two offers to make it as accessible as possible for everyone.” Through the Brave Art Course, students can join weekly online group warm ups and live creative sessions led by professional artists using Zoom. The Brave Art Club is designed for those that would prefer to be supported offline through phone calls and post. Students can choose which option suits them best. All students will receive a fun and inspiring activity pack filled with creative activities devised by professional artists. Participants will also receive arts materials and a Brave Art sketchbook. Each year consists of three terms. Term 1 will cost £80 (reduced from the face-to-face cost of £225). Suffolk Artlink hope to trial face to face sessions this term in some locations and it is their wish to return to face-to-face sessions as soon as it is safe. You can download the full easy-read information leaflet about Brave Art Year 2 and book a place by visiting www.suffolkartlink.org.uk or contact Charlie and Fran at: braveart@suffolkartlink.org.uk / 07842 531111.

Running a mile in my shoes… On Sunday 4th October, I will be running a Virtual London Marathon around Hadleigh and will be joined by 26 brave friends who are each going to run one of the 26 miles with me! The London Marathon raises millions of pounds for charity each year, so its cancellation in April due to the Coronavirus, will have had a massive effect on many deserving causes, therefore entrants have been encouraged to fundraise by running a Virtual Marathon instead… I have run the London Marathon for the last three years raising over £20,000 for the Stroke Association, the National Deaf Children’s Society, Dementia UK and the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance. My chosen charities this year are the Evelina Children’s Hospital and the Bumblebee Children's Charity. My nephew's daughter, Sienna, was born with a very rare heart condition called ALCAPA. This condition meant only half of her heart was receiving oxygen. The Evelina Children's Hospital saved her life by giving her open heart surgery at 3 weeks old, when her heart was only functioning at 10%. The Evelina not only took care of Sienna but supported the whole family, in particular her parents Lindsey and Jack. She would not be here without the phenomenal treatment she received... Today, Sienna attends the Bumblebee Children's Charity to help with her developmental delay. Bumblebee is a specialist group that helps children with physical difficulties learn important life skills in a fun and stimulating environment. As a result, Sienna has grown in independence and confidence and she is making progress learning to walk unaided. I hope that the money raised by my Marathon this year will help the many families, like ours, who have children with physical difficulties and additional needs.

Flu Vaccinations 2020 This winter, the flu vaccination is more important than ever as we prepare for the potential risks of both flu and COVID-19 In line with national plans, phase one is to protect the most vulnerable, those aged 65 and over, people with certain long-term medical conditions, pregnant women and young children will be vaccinated first. We have organised our flu clinics in a different way this year due to COVID-19 and the need to socially distance. We will not be running open access clinics. We will be running three Saturday sessions in October. The dates will be:

Saturday 3 October Saturday 17 October Saturday 31 October Patients in the vulnerable groups will be invited by letter to attend. The letters for the first Saturday have been sent out. We will send the letters for the 17 October after our first Saturday flu session. We have a large patient group to write to, please be patient with us, we will be in touch soon. The children group age two and three years will receive a letter for a separate mid-week clinic. We strongly advise you attend your appointment. If you cannot attend, please do not telephone the surgery, we will be in contact with you again. If you have already had your vaccination, for example at a Pharmacy, please ignore your letter, our records will be updated with this information soon. Please attend your appointment at the time of your letter. We advise you do not bring your car to the Health Centre if you do not have too as we are expecting our car park to be very busy. Please do NOT attend your appointment if you have any of these symptoms: a high temperature, new continuous cough, loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. Please wear a face covering when you enter the Health Centre. Phase two of the influenza plan is to vaccinate patients aged 50 – 64 years in November and December, if there is the vaccine available to do so. At this time, we do not know whether we will be supplied with additional vaccine for the phase two group.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029

What a strange summer it’s been, with no visitors at the Centre except by appointment. I miss my public and sympathise with the many humans who are staying at home. There have been few dogs in, some cats, kittens and rabbits plus lots of wildlife including a young kestrel. After recuperating at SESAW, the young falcon was successfully released from the garden where it was found. Thank you to the organisers of the MEBCC Plough Day for inviting SESAW to the event last month. We sold lots of vintage items and many supporters and their dogs stopped for a socially distanced chat. Hopefully we will attend some festive events, COVID restrictions permitting, but we do need good quality gifts for Jeanette’s popular Tombola, Sheila’s ‘classy’ stall and another vintage sale. Contributions can be left at SESAW or phone 07881 785535 to arrange collection. We still cannot accept general bric a brac and household items but we can take clean, undamaged clothing for recycling. Please leave in CLEAR plastic bags only, to ensure contents are visible. Regretfully, soiled clothes and bedding have been found hidden in black plastic sacks in the past. Your continued support is really appreciated via JustGiving, the post, collection pots and occasional mystery donors. During one of my security patrols one wet evening in August, I noticed something left outside. With much effort I dragged it indoors and we discovered a kind person had left their "Rainy Day Fund" for SESAW. Thank you for every precious penny of the £8.40 which will help care for the animals, including me Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua. Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare, Reg.Charity No.1124029.

Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advice Page I've just had my hours cut at work. I'd like to take on a second job, but there's nothing around. It sounds ridiculous to talk about Christmas now, but I'm already worrying! I usually start buying the kids a few presents early to spread the cost - but that's going to be impossible this year. How can I make less go further, without going into debt? I'm sorry to hear about the cut in your hours, and what it means for you. One way to stretch household finances is to shop around for the best deals on your mobile phone and broadband (depending on the details of your price plan), and on utilities, such as electricity. Installing a water meter can also sometimes bring savings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth checking your insurances and subscriptions - cancel any you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need and shop around for the others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normally cheaper if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave it until just before the renewal date. If your children are school age there may be help available with uniforms, technology and free school meals. Citizens Advice website, www.citizensadvice.org.uk has more details. A fall in income may mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for benefits, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a parent or carer. The benefits checker, turn2us.org.uk is particularly useful. It sounds like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re normally very organised, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure this will stand you in good stead. Make a list of the cost of your priority outgoings - such as housekeeping and essential travel - against your new income. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to slip into overdraft, or miss a payment, and it can then become more and more expensive - and stressful - to get on the right track and out of debt. Likewise, think carefully about any â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;buy now pay laterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deals - theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always the best option long term. If you are worried about debt, here at Citizens Advice we have specially trained advisers available to help, so please do get in touch. Please note we are no longer seeing clients face to face until further notice. We are providing advice by telephone and email, Monday to Thursday, 10am to 1pm. Please phone 01787 321400 if you need advice and leave a message and someone will call you back when available. We will attempt three times to call you back, so please expect a call from a withheld number. You can also ring AdviceLine on 03444 111 444 or 0300 330 1151. Alternatively, contact us via email at advice@sudburycab.org.uk or by using the contact facility on our website www.sudburycab.org.uk

Hadleigh Walkers We were hoping that our October walk on the 10th would be along the Deben from Ramsholt. Unfortunately, due to Covid requirements, it transpired that we would not be able to get enough walkers on board to make it worthwhile so we have had to cancel the bus hire. Therefore, at short notice we have decided on a 7-mile circular walk from Rattlesden. We will meet at the community Centre car park just behind the Brewers (a map will be uploaded on the website nearer the time) ready for a 0930 start. Our route will be Peggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm, Drinkstone Green, Burtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cottage, Corner Farm, Clopton Hall, Wood Hall and back to Rattlesden. For those wanting refreshment at the end of the walk there are two choices. The Five Bells above the church has a good selection of ales and if they are not serving food themselves are happy for you to bring your own to eat in their large garden. The Brewers describes itself as a Gastro Pub and may be the choice of some. A word of caution. It seems clear that further restrictions are coming into force. At the time of writing it appears that organised sporting events such as Park Runs may be exempt, but it is not clear whether a walking group that splits into separate groups of no more than 6 may also be exempt. We will continue to monitor the situation and ask that anyone proposing to walk watches our website for updates and confirmation that we feel able (or willing) to conduct the walk or need to cancel. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground can be muddy or rough in places at any time of the year. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring water for during the walk. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us from the website contact page or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 07483 887658.

Holloween Goes Ahead! We are very excited to announce that our Holloween event will be happening again in 2020. Some things will be a little different, but despite offering a little less, the Hollow Trees Farm Holloween celebration is still the best! The Holloween Trail is a ‘trimmed twist on the norm’ but there will still be lots of spooky fun for everyone to enjoy. There will be all our usual friendly animals to feed, ropes to swing on, poles to climb and lots of fun and adventure all round. And NEW for 2020 is a golf course like you’ve never seen before. Our fantastic Magical Mini Golf will certainly challenge you all! The special Holloween Trail will also include the popular Cresta Run Sledges, the Sorcerer's Straw Stack and the wild Witches Wood. Sadly, this year we cannot offer a Spooky Barn, Maze or inflatables, but rest assured the Holloween Trail may be smaller in size but it’s going to be BIG on fun and still a Great Day Out! There will be lots of pumpkins on sale too, grown on our farm by Farmer Bob with lots of care and attention given to each and every one. We've got large, small, knobbly and smooth; we are sure there's a pumpkin just waiting for you, whether it’s to carve a spooky face on or to turn into deliciously tasty soup. Throughout all of the Holloween event, outdoor seating and picnic areas will be available for you to enjoy food from our Farm Café takeaway menu. There's lots of lovely homemade food on offer, both hot and cold! The Farm Café Takeaway menu is available to pre order online with 20% off your first online order too. Alternatively, you can book a table in the newly refurbished Farm Café, the number of tables available will be limited due to social distancing so during Holloween it is strictly bookings only and group size limits will be subject to government guidelines. For more details and to book visit www.hollowtrees.co.uk. Pre-Booking for the Holloween Farm Trail event is ESSENTIAL! You can book by visiting our website, www.hollowtrees.co.uk. Tickets are £7 per person with children 2 years and under free. The Holloween tickets will be available to book on line from Thursday 1st October 2020 onwards. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hadleigh & District Garden Club One of the events from our programme this year was to be a 'garden safari' where we visit the gardens of club members who are brave enough to open their gardens to the rest of us! We haven't done this for quite a few years so everyone was looking forward to it. We usually start in the late afternoon and have a list of about half a dozen places where we spend a leisurely half an hour strolling around admiring gardens of all shapes and sizes, ending up somewhere large enough for us all to gather together and enjoy something to eat and drink and have a natter as the evening draws to a close. So we were rather disappointed when circumstances meant that this year it was not to be, however one of our members had the bright idea of asking anyone who was willing to take some photos of their gardens which would then be shared with the rest of the club. This was a lovely idea for keeping in touch and one of the committee members agreed to put everything together and the photos were shared on line. There was a wide variety of gardens big and small and some beautiful individual shots of flowers and shrubs as well as the occasional family pet making the centre of interest in a landscape! If the photos are anything to go by then next year's real event should be well worth the wait. Speaking of waiting, now is the time to be thinking about planting bulbs for some early spring colour next year. Last year I tried the layering approach to planting in a tub with later flowering bulbs in the bottom layer and early ones like crocus and snowdrops at the top, the idea being that they would flower in succession. Mine didn't seem to know about this and quite a lot of them came up at the same time, nearly choking each other as they did so! So earlier in the summer I took them all out and have now planted them in separate pots in the hopes that I will have better luck next spring.

Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline & Charity Shop I guess we are all having to get used to the new “normal” and of course there is still much uncertainty of what the future holds. Our families in Belarus continue to maintain contact with us and despite all of the problems they are experiencing, always their first question is how is everybody in England, how are the families who have hosted out children? Please give them our best wishes and tell them we are thinking of them. We may not have been able to bring the children for the Summer visit this year but we are still working hard at fundraising to enable us to bring a group next summer. Inevitably with the travel industry being hit so hard in the last months costs will rise so we need to make sure we have sufficient funds in hand to cover any increases. Our Charity shop is currently our main source of income and we are really pleased to see everyone who visits us. One very important thing I would like to mention is that the situation of the shop is somewhat unusual being in a residential area and we need to take care that our neighbours are not disturbed by the activity to the shop. On more than one occasion people have attempted to access the shop via neighbours on either side of our frontage, these residential properties are in no way connected to the Charity or the shop and would ask people to follow the signage to the entrance which is through the passageway and not to cause distress to the residents. We are continuing to accept donations by appointment and where at all possible will collect from you. Although it is only September as with all retail outlets we have to turn our thoughts to our Christmas stock. This year we have already received donations of many brand new Christmas Decorations and look out for our range of LED bottle lights which will be on sale from as little as 3.99 and make very unusual and effective Christmas presents. Regards to all and many thanks for your continued support. Elizabeth Parker, Link Chair, 01449 760343, 07771 550868

Welcome to Jan as our new home manager Hadleigh Nursing Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new manager Jan Seal brings with her more than 30 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in the care sector. She said she was delighted by the warm welcome she had received from staff, residents and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a difficult time for residents and their families who could not see each other for more than three months because of the coronavirus lockdown. However, everyone has been very understanding and supportive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the easing of the lockdown, our family visits in the garden have been going well and we will have plans for indoor visits, subject to government guidance, when the weather changes.â&#x20AC;? She said she was keen to get to know families really well and her door was always open for relatives to talk to her about any concerns or ideas for improving the service. Jan started her nursing career at the age of 18 and spent many years with the NHS mostly in community based roles, from community matron to out of hours coordinator working alongside the GPs covering a large area of Essex. She said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I then went on to be the registered manager of a complex care company in Southend where I worked closely with commissioners developing bespoke packages of care for both adults and children allowing them to be supported at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2014 I went to work as a care quality facilitator working alongside the regional manager overseeing nine homes for a large company in the London area; through this I began my career in nursing home management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really felt that for most of the residents in nursing homes it would be the last chapter of their lives, and that if I could improve their experiences then it would be a privilege for me.â&#x20AC;? She said her vision for Hadleigh was to make the home as homely as possible, a cheerful relaxed environment where the residents could enjoy the beautiful grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that I can reach out to the community within Hadleigh and look at ways to enhance our residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Bildeston Primary School Learning and Growing Together It has been lovely to welcome you all back to our autumn term and in particular to welcome new pupils and year groups we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in quite a while. Pupils have adapted very well to the stringent measures we have in place to keep everyone safe. They have accepted handwashing controls, social distancing and staff wearing face coverings in key parts of the building. We have all worked incredibly hard to get the school ready for re-opening after summer. I am sure you will agree, our superb builders have done an excellent job

and the building has now had a fantastic facelift. In essence, we went from a tired timber cladded school to a vibrant coloured modern looking school. Our building now has solar resistant glass, double glazing, proper insulation and carefully considered fire breaks within the new smart outside cladding. It is as if our school has a beautiful new overcoat, and now we feel the outside of the building matches the inside, which has always been welcoming with wonderful displays. Parents, staff and governors are delighted that Suffolk have seen fit to invest in us as a successful and sustainable school, which will take us into the future. Our newly beautiful school will be opened very soon and there will likely be some press attention. Parents will get the opportunity to see the new look on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;walk-aroundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Monday 21st September after they have dropped their children into school. This will be their opportunity to pop into the school grounds to see how wonderful the school looks from the other side!! We look forward to seeing a big difference in the energy efficiency of the school, and it already feels a much more comfortable working environment. If you are considering Bildeston Primary as a school for your child, we would welcome a visit after school hours due to Covid-19 restrictions. Please phone the office on the number below or email us. We would love to meet you. Bildeston Primary School, Newberry Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, IP7 7ES Telephone: 01449 740269 Website: www.bildeston.suffolk.sch.uk

Sponsored by Celotex It has been a shortened season, but one that we have tried to make the most of and been grateful for. On the field both Saturday teams won their Atkins & Crane Cup and Plate finals in September. The 1st XI lifted the Cup against Woolpit while the 2nd XI beat Ipswich & East Suffolk in a close encounter at Chantry Park. These competitions were organised to give local teams some competitive cricket after the cancellation of the Two Counties season, and we got our rewards for fully committing to both (unlike some clubs). In the Cup final the 1st XI dismissed Woolpit for just 160, with Ben Wallis taking three wickets including the key one of Andy Northcote. Marlon Dias, Matt Kent and Josh Davey all went cheaply in Hadleigh's reply. But a 5th wicket stand of 72 between Dom Manthorpe (39 not out) and Callum Morrin (37) broke the back of the chase and Hadleigh got home by five wickets. In the Plate final the Seconds finally got the better of Ipswich & East Suffolk, after losing to them twice in the group stages. Nadie Abdul nursed his hamstring and made 84 as we posted an impressive total of 249-8. IES were 58-5 at one stage, but got back in the game until we finally came through by 14 runs. Even though the plate is a virtual one, it is still good to have won something for a team that has struggled a little in recent seasons. The player of this shortened season for the 2nds has undoubtedly been Justin Toombs, who scored 322 runs in just 8 innings with scores of 83 not out, 69 and 54, and averaged 53. The Ladies played five matches, winning two and losing three, with Harriet Pettit and Charlotte Stenning scoring most runs. There was not much game time for the Junior teams unfortunately, but we will hope for a full season in 2021. Unfortunately this will be an even quieter winter than usual at the club, as we will be unable to hold any social events (unless, as seems unlikely, restrictions on indoor gatherings change), but we thank all those who helped the club through this difficult period.

Stoke by Nayland Golf Club SbN Mens Club Championship / AJB Trophy Saturday 29th August saw members competing for the Club Championship on the par 71 Gainsborough course and, after the field was cut, on the par 72 Constable course on the 30th August. On a dry but windy weekend some excellent gross scores were returned at the end of the first days qualifier with only 2 shots separating the leading four players - Matt Tunstall (6 handicap) and Ian Carter (1 handicap) both with a gross 73 and Matt Eaves (4 handicap) and Matthew Wyatt (8 handicap) close behind with gross 75. With the final two groups going out last on the Sunday it was once again Ian Carter who pulled away from,the field with a superb 2 under par 70 to win his 5th Club Championship with a combined score of 143 - 2nd was Matt Eaves with a combined score of 150, 3rd was Scott Brace with 154. The AJB Cup was won by Ryan Lock (19 handicap) who posted a net score of 139 for the two rounds. Princess Diana Trophy Monday 31st August saw the running of the annual Princess Diana Trophy. The competition was won by Sybil Paton (15 handicap) and Cyril Williams (6 handicap) - a new combination to this competition, the pair having never played together before. They won with 46 points off a competition handicap of 10 - this represents a par score round the Gainsborough course. The win was the result of a 40 foot back to front putt on the 17th green for a birdie. Without this they would have lost out to the runners up, Corinne & Glen Jackson, as they had the better back nine score. In 3rd place were Katie Clark & Mark Clark, also with 45 points, but losing out on countback. Hole In One Tom English, a 5 handicap player at Stoke by Nayland, achieved his very first Hole In One on the Gainsborough 3rd hole, playing alongside Steve Evans, Steve Whitehorn and Kyle Eadie. His sand wedge tee shot pitched about 4 feet beyond the hole and spun back nicely into the hole resulting in all four going crazy, laughing and jumping around, celebrations that could be heard some way away!
