New Swimming Pool for Hadleigh Babergh District Council recently announced that £2.6million would be invested into a new swimming pool for Hadleigh. The new pool plans have been submitted and can be viewed online at the Babergh planning portal. The design team have addressed all of the points raised during public consultation and we are delighted to confirm that the pool will be 0.9metres deep at the shallow end increasing to 1.8metre at its deepest point. This will allow those learning to swim to also learn to dive. The new facility will also include a Changing Places Toilet. Research has found that over a quarter of a million severely disabled people, including those with profound and multiple learning disabilities do not have access to public toilet facilities that meet their needs. In the UK the number of people who would benefit from a Changing Places Toilet would include approximately: 230,000, whilst we do not have that many residents in the area we have a high level of older users and this facility will offer greater access to those with disability. A sauna has also been incorporated into the plans. If all goes to plan the work on the new pool will start in the New Year. and anticipated opening date for swimmers will be January 2020. Cllr Margaret Maybury, Cabinet Member for Communities at Babergh District Council said, “This project is an exciting development for Hadleigh and its surrounding district as a new pool has been a dream of many for a long time. Babergh are committed to enhancing wellbeing facilities for all ages and the new pool project promotes this. We have a long way to go; securing planning approval is the first step. I wish all at SSL every success in their endeavours and we at Babergh are behind them every step of the way.”. Cllr Peter Matthews, Mayor of Hadleigh Town Council said “This is indeed an exciting move forwards that will provide a much needed upgrade to the current facility, and ensure that our residents of all ages can use and enjoy the benefits of swimming for many more years to come.” For more information on South Suffolk Leisure, visit our website at www.ssleisure.co.uk

Free hearing checks in Sudbury to help those with hearing loss Ten million people in the UK - one in six of us - have some degree of hearing loss. It's surprisingly tricky to spot gradual hearing loss as our brains are very good at compensating, so we're not even aware of how much we've lost until things are quite far advanced. The good news is that there are things you can do to about it. The bad news is that there are potentially serious consequences if you choose to ignore hearing loss, including an increased risk of dementia. Local hearing care specialist The Hearing Care Centre offers award winning hearing care services from 25 centres across East Anglia. This year they are celebrating their 20th year in business and they hope to continue to raise awareness about the prevalence of hearing loss, its effect on everyday life and the potential dangers of leaving hearing loss untreated. Audiologist Karen Finch and her team will be holding a free ‘Hearing Care Centre Open Day’ at their local hearing clinic at Sudbury Community Health Centre between 9am and 5pm on Friday 14th September 2018. During the event they will be providing complimentary hearing assessments (usually £20), along with the very best professional advice about your hearing test results and discussions about possible solutions that could help improve your hearing. All services are available by appointment only. To book your appointment call The Hearing Care Centre on 01473 230330 or visit www.hearingcarecentre.co.uk for more information. *Please note that The Hearing Care Centre is in no way connected to the NHS.

6000 copies of The Village Edition Magazine are delivered to homes during the first week of each month in Lavenham, Capel St. Mary, Kersey, Bildeston, Chelsworth, Boxford, Milden, Edwardstone, Groton, Whatfield, Monks Eleigh, Brent Eleigh, Elmsett, Hintlesham, Polstead, Newton Green, Raydon, Hitcham and other outlets in these areas. We warmly welcome all your contributions of articles, letters, sports reports, events and photographs, just email or send to the address below and it will appear in the next issue.

Helen Forth, our Pelvic and Women’s Health Specialist is delighted to be offering The MummyMOT® in Hadleigh. This is a must-do for all women who have ever given birth, ideally carried out from around 6 weeks postnatal, but beyond that too. It includes a 1hr and 15 min assessment of your posture and biomechanics, pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, and will help you on your path to recovery and back to physical exercise. It can also highlight any areas where further in-depth physiotherapy assessment and treatment is indicated. To avoid any long-term childbirth related complaints, it is advised to come early and get your tummy gap and pelvic floor tested – then start an optimal postnatal recovery programme. In France this is considered standard postnatal care, but sadly it is still not offered routinely in the UK. Most women after having had a baby, will have weakness in either their tummy or pelvic floor muscles (or both!), which can lead to poor core strength. The in turn can result in back pain, pelvic pain, vaginal prolapse, and bladder or bowel control issues. The MummyMOT® is a detailed physiotherapy assessment of the abdominal and pelvic area. It will check your posture, breathing, tummy gap and pelvic floor strength. You will receive a report of the findings on the day, plus an appropriate safe exercise programme will be prescribed. The MummyMOT® System combines the principles of Physiotherapy assessment with the practice of functional retraining. It is essential to address muscle weakness and imbalance, otherwise pain, prolapse, and continence issues can persist. Mums need to be able to bend, lift, squat, and twist safely, comfortably and without leakage, in order to care for their small children. The Mummy MOT exercises reflect the needs of your body at this unique time. Helen will also be running a Bumps & Babies Pilates class starting on the 20th of September for 5 weeks so express your interest now as this is sure to fill quickly. For further details or to book please call the practice on 01473 810185

Our September walk on Saturday 8th will again be a circular walk from Hadleigh and will follow a route via the Railway Walk, Pond Hall business Park, Cobbold’s Fm, Ram’s Fm, Old Hall, Old House, Aldham Hall, Batt Hall and back to Hadleigh. The walk distance is about 8 miles in total. As usual, we will meet as St Mary’s School car park at 0930 and we should be back in Hadleigh around 1300. 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. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. Also in September, we will run a second walk on Saturday 29th which will be a circular walk round Mersea Island. We have booked the Hadleigh community bus for this trip and will be limited to 14 or 16. Cost of the walk will depend on exact numbers but is unlikely to be more than £8 per head. The walk is around 13 miles and anyone wishing to go should contact me, Gerie or Hugh and pay a non-returnable deposit of £5 to secure their place. We are still working on the route for our October walk but provisionally we are planning a circular walk from Shotley taking in the rivers Orwell and Stour. I’m not aware that we have done this walk with this group before so it will make a pleasant change. For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us at hadleighwalkers@gmail.com or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 0785 895 5678

Climate Chaos Turning on the news recently and you cannot have failed to notice the severe heatwave that has affected much of Europe during the Summer. Landscapes have literally turned from green to brown in a month. The most severe hit areas were ourselves, northern France and Germany, where many farmers are facing one of the worst droughts in decades. Since late Spring, a persistent area of high pressure has been situated over us, meaning the jet stream - the high altitude winds that drive our weather - has been positioned further north (Iceland has had its wettest Summer on record because of this). The high pressure system acts like a block and drives the jet stream either to the north or south of it, which takes the low pressure systems with it. With us being in Summer, the jet stream is usually weak anyway meaning it doesn't have the clout to move the highs' out of the way unlike in autumn for example when it packs a punch and delivers storms on a regular basis. In Norway and Finland the temperatures have reached 32 degrees C in the Arctic Circle; Greenland - which has a mean summer temperature of -2.6 degrees C has had weeks of temperatures of +17 (20 degrees above normal). Southern Europe has suffered too with Portugal and Spain recording temperatures of over 45 degrees C, and Greece has had its worst wildfires in more than a decade. All this comes after an unusually warm Spring. Germany had its warmest and driest April - July period since 1881, with temperatures almost 4 degrees C above the norm. It is true that summer is supposed to be hot but it is the fact that the entire globe was subjected to above normal temperatures for such a long period that is the worrying trend. Each month an area somewhere breaks records in regards to weather and how anyone can deny now a runaway greenhouse effect is beyond me.

Prestigious National Award for Hadleigh Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium wins national Finnis Scott Foundation Botanical Art Award On Saturday 21 July, two hundred and fifty people, drawn from all over the United Kingdom, gathered at Boughton House, near Kettering, as the guests of the Finnis Scott Foundation. Leading representatives from the world of horticulture and all the organisations that the FSF has supported since its inception in 2008 were invited. The idea was that people working in the same fields â&#x20AC;&#x201C; horticultural training, historic gardens, social care, community gardening, plant sciences, museums and galleries, and publications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could get together and share their knowledge and experiences. Boughton House belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch, K.T., who joined in the celebrations, and opened the house and gardens for guided tours. Prior to formal lunch in the garden, the prestigious Botanical Art Award was presented to Cllr Dr Sian Dawson from Hadleigh, a botanical illustrator who was inspired to undertake the project as a lasting legacy for the towns famous artist. She coordinated the project of botanical artists to illustrate a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Florilegiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the bearded irises, bred by Sir Cedric Morris. Morris (18891982) an artist, gardener and iris breeder, who developed the 'Benton End' bearded irises between 1933-1960, that now survive in the National Plant Collection, cultivated by Sarah Cook, the horticultural expert and former head gardener at Sissinghurst in Kent. The Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium consists of 27 botanical paintings that accurately record each of these cultivated varieties of iris, painted by the country's leading RHS botanical artists. When awarding the Â£10,000 prize, the Chairman of the Finnis Scott Foundation Trustees, Ian Barnett, congratulated this outstanding group of artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The judges thought the paintings were of a very high standard and liked the scope of the project and the connection with Hadleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sir Cedric Morris Iris collection and Gainsboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House." Dr Dawson has requested her legacy is gifted to the The Gainsborough Museum, who will retain this unique collection, considered the finest florilegium of iris paintings worldwide. It will be held in perpetuity alongside Gainsboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Sir Cedric Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private collections and be retained in the right climatic conditions and part of the collection will be available for public viewing next year in Hadleigh. The FSF Botanical Art Award is the most valuable award of its kind. It is ten years since the charitable trust, the Finnis Scott Foundation, was founded, to provide money for charitable ventures in the gardening and artistic spheres. Dr Dawson commented, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the collection has just been awarded a Silver Medal and been on display in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh and to follow this up with the generosity and accolade of the Finish Scott Award is quite overwhelming. I am delighted to receive such a prestigious award, considered the highest accolade within this discipline on behalf of all the artists, who so graciously donated their paintings and trust that this will promote Hadleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous artist plantsman Sir Cedric Morris as this collection goes on exhibition overseas.

Hadleigh fishing club organise at least one open day during the year and this year was no exception. The event was held at our local water, Bullocky Fen near Lower Layham on 4th August and was well attended by enthusiastic adults and children alike, along with whole families who came to have a taster to find out what fishing is all about. They were treated to demonstrations by our members, of different techniques we use to catch wary fish. These included feeder fishing with rod and line, using a variety of baits and feeders. This was popular with the adults, as they could practice the casting, then simply sit in the chair and wait for a bite whilst watching the wildlife go about its daily routine. The younger generation were more interested in the relatively new techniques of pole fishing, which simply uses a carbon pole with varying strengths of elastics, which a line and float etc is attached to. This can be great fun when catching smaller fish on light tackle. All who attended hopefully took away with them some good memories of probably catching their first fish, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there, why not join our club and do it every week? We only charge ÂŁ2.00 for juniors under 12, with concessions for the over 65s and families. Please visit our web site (www.hadleighangling.co.uk) for more information. We also have a Facebook page. A big thank you to all committee and HADAS members who helped on the day, with special thanks to Mark Snowling and Kevin Wilding who also sponsored the event. Thank you also to Mark and Valerie Oakes for cooking the burgers and hot dogs, much appreciated by all on the day. Colin Hynard for HADAS

SESAW Thank You We would like to thank all our local supporters, volunteers and the Hadleigh Ukulele Group for making our Annual Open Day on 29th July a great success.

Over ÂŁ3,200 was raised which will go towards the care of animals awaiting homes. Visitors welcome 10-1pm, Thursday-Sunday at Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare, Registered Charity 1124029, Stoke Road, Leavenheath, CO6 4PP. Messages may be left on 01787 210888. www.sesaw.co.uk

Bildeston History Quarterly Issue 28 (Autumn 2018) This special issue sees the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the Great War (1914-1918) and so remembers the men of Issue 28 Autumn 2018 Price £5 Bildeston and of Wattisham who were killed in action or died as a result of injuries sustained during their service. Bildeston has two war memorials, one in Market Place and the other in the parish church. When the parish church of Wattisham was closed in 1977, that village’s war memorial was brought to Bildeston parish for safe keeping. Brief biographies are given of all the fallen: their connection with their respective villages, their final resting places and other memorials on which their names appear.

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

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk “Once again the issue of business rates, and the future of our high street, has come to the fore in local and national politics over the summer. High profile retailers have hovered on the brink of extinction (e.g. House of Fraser); locally, we have seen the closure of post offices and bank branches, most notably Barclays in Hadleigh. And yet, at the same time we have heard that the globe’s Godzilla retailer, Amazon, saw its corporation tax bill fall from £7.2m in 2016 to just £4.6m last year despite its operating profit trebling to nearly £80m. Of course, mentioning Amazon highlights perhaps the most significant factor in the changing shape of our high streets: the rise of internet shopping. In November 2007 just 4% of UK retail sales were online, yet a decade later, this figure reached a peak of nearly 20%. It’s therefore easy to understand why ‘traditional’ retailers, i.e. those with a public facing premises, should feel frustration at paying out business rates – that can appear to bear no relation to turnover or profitability – when major online businesses worth billions pay comparatively little. I have huge sympathy with this view. Yes, the digital age has brought massive benefits as well as challenges, and we should not legislate to unwind technology that cannot be unwound. And let us not forget that for every struggling shop will be many more online firms created in bedrooms or trading with one or two staff working on a shoestring to build a new business that, if successful, will create further wealth and employment. Nevertheless, I was delighted when the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, announced earlier in August that he was considering a so called ‘Amazon’ tax. He specifically said: “we want to ensure that taxation is fair between businesses doing business the traditional way and those doing business online”. I share that sentiment of fairness – with one further caveat. We can implement all the tax changes on earth, and complain whenever premises become vacant, but our pubs and high street shops will only stay open if you and I actually use them.”

Are You Wearing The Wrong Bra Size? Research has shown that 80-85% of women wear a bra that doesn’t fit. Signs included underwire that presses into the breast tissue so if the wire is digging in it’s because you’re wearing the wrong size. If the bra is riding up the back this means you are wearing it too big. Neck, shoulder or arm pain can also be a sign that you are wearing the wrong size for your shape because the weight of breast tissue is heavy and most women don’t realise. Are you overflowing the sides of your bra? You will need a larger cup size. Labels to Love will be holding their Autumn Bra Fitting event on Monday 1th September, opening from 9.30am to 7.00pm. Come and have a free Bra Fitting and also take advantage of the 15% discount available on bras purchased or ordered and paid for on the day.

The Bildeston Crown’s Chris Lee is in the running for the award for “Best Chef Regularly Cooking Game” in the 2018 Eat Game Awards but to take home the prize, he needs your vote. The shortlist of the top 12 has already been determined by the online voting system but voting now begins again to determine the overall winner. Chris is up against some very impressive company in the Chef category – Tom Kitchin, Fergus Henderson, Tom Aitkens, Phil Howard and Richard Corrigan to name just five – so if you want Chris to win, vote for him on the Eat Game website https://eatgameawards.co.uk/voting/ before the end of September. You do not need to vote in every category and you can vote for up to three for each award. The criteria for nomination was that the chef must serve a variety of game in season and actively promote game dishes. Chris started shooting game as soon as he moved to Suffolk in 2004 and since then, game has been on the menu throughout the season with regular Game Wine Dinners. The inn has also been a popular place to stay for local shooting parties. So not surprisingly, game is a featured recipe for Chris in the recently published Suffolk Feast cookbook and to prove this is not a new favourite, it was a game dish, wild mallard, that Chris cooked to beat Simon King and Dave Myers on “The Hairy Bikers’ Tour of Britain” back in 2009. The Eat Game Awards is a new initiative aimed at recognising and helping to develop game as a vibrant and modern addition to the British menu, as well as encouraging the British public to discover and embrace this valuable food source. The Awards identify and celebrate the innovators, creators and revolutionaries in the world of wild game. If you think Chris Lee should be recognised for his passion for game, vote for him at https://eatgameawards.co.uk/voting/.

Join us for An Evening with Lord Tebbit 21st September 2018 Hadleigh has welcomed a few well-known visitors, but not too many have had as many newspaper headlines as Lord Tebbit. And now we have the opportunity to ask him questions about his life and politics. Lord Tebbit will visit Hadleigh for an informal interview on Friday, 21st September, 2018. He has said that he will also answer questions, so it will be an interesting evening. Norman Tebbit was an MP from 1970 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1991, having served as a BOAC pilot/navigator before that. He held many offices while an MP, including Parliamentary-under-Secretary of State for Trade 1979; Minister of State for Industry 1981; Secretary of State for Employment 1981; Secretary for Trade and Industry 1983; Chancellor Duchy of Lancaster and Chairman of Conservative Party 1985-1987. He was a member of Margaret Thatcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabinet. Many of us will remember that he was severely injured in the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel, Brighton in 1984. He was awarded the Companion of Honour in 1987 and entered the House of Lords in 1992. We are delighted that Norman Tebbit has agreed to this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Parkinson-styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interview. We will be asking him about his public life and his life in Suffolk. There will be an opportunity for questions. The event will be held at the Grand Hall, The Town Hall, Hadleigh at 7.30pm, Friday 21st September. Entry is by ticket only, bought prior to the event. Tickets are ÂŁ10 each and can be bought by contacting Sylvia Martin: 01473 823430 or emailing: smartin.chelwood@outlook.com

The start of the school year is always quite exciting here, we shall be welcoming new riders from their schools as well as our ‘old’ regulars. People will be amazed to see the new colour of our arena with its golden surface, a very jolly topping on the old worn one. The Centre has been polished and cleaned, spiders moved, pigeons shooed away and rabbits sworn at. The tack is clean and supple; the herd is ready for action. Here is an archive photo of me being spring cleaned last year, when I was still a tall horse! Its amazing how much rubbish we accumulate over a year and the volunteers have been tidying up all the nooks and crannies for the start of the school year. Readers, if you would like to sponsor a live pony, there is a link on our website that makes the whole process very easy. My Aunty Di runs the Sponsor A Pony scheme, and the herd much appreciates the support it gets from wellwishers. Babs and I don’t feature on her list of candidates as we are not so cuddly, but we share the workload here, and support the live herd in its therapeutic work. Our next fundraiser is the Quiz night on 29th September at 7.00pm in Polstead Village Hall. See our green poster, or visit the website for more information.

The Navy in World War 1 A Lecture by Mark Mitchels Commemorating the end of World War 1 Raydon Village Hall, Saturday 3rd November at 3.00pm We have heard a great deal about the ghastliness of World War 1 particularly in the trenches - The Somme, Ypres, Passchendaele, - and fateful assaults like Gallipoli. What we know very little about is the influence the Royal Navy had on the war. We know it kept us safe from possible invasion, kept the German fleet at bay, ensured the supply of vital materials - but what was it like for the sailors? Several decks below in extreme heat, although those on deck will have been exposed to severe cold from time to time. And only the most primitive air-conditioning, so the atmosphere must have been stifling. What of food? Perhaps not as primitive as Medieval times with ships biscuits and weevils, but probably doubtful refrigeration. How long where they at sea and where? Did they get any support from our Allies or was it a lonely responsibility? To learn more and acknowledge once again the debt the country owes to the Senior Service come to Raydon Village Hall on Saturday 3rd November to hear Mark Mitchels reveal more of the activities of The Royal Navy in WW1. Tickets £7.50, including Afternoon Tea from 01473 310320

Lavenham Sinfonia Do come along to the Lavenham Sinfonia’s last concert on September 23th at Lavenham Church. It is a celebration of music from the “High Baroque”. What does this term mean? The Baroque is a period of history between the early 1600’s and about 1750 which saw quite dramatic developments in Architecture, art & sculpture and in music. It is closely linked to changes caused by the Reformation and Counter-Reformation taking place across Europe at that time. In music it led to huge experimentation with new musical forms and different combinations of instruments. It saw the birth of the orchestra as we know it. The music was quite lyrical and gradually more emotional in nature but clearly structured into a number of shorter movements. If you are not familiar with music from the period this is a great opportunity to hear works from the Baroque periods 3 greatest exponents – Bach, Handel and Telemann. The concert will open with the exuberant Suite in D major by Georg Philipp Telemann brilliantly scored for oboes strings and continuo, it is an exciting piece showing the individual groups of instruments at their virtuoso best. Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest and most prolific composers of this era. This Church Cantata “Ich Habe Genug” was part of Bach’s huge output of Church music required by his position as Cantor to the Thomasschule of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. He composed it in 1727 and it was performed for the feast of the Purification of Mary in the same year. We welcome back Mark Saberton as the Baritone soloist in the Cantata. Mark will be remembered for his recent fantastic performance in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in September 2017. George Frederick Handel was the other great master of the Baroque period, perhaps best known for his Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks he also composed a great deal of Church music and Oratorios the best known of which is “Messiah”. Jephtha composed in 1751 was his last and perhaps most dramatic and telling the story of Jephtha as laid out in Chapter 11 of Judges in the Old Testament. In this concert the Sinfonia are playing the opening Overture and Sinfonia. The final work is again by Bach and the last of his 4 orchestral suites. It was composed in 1730. The suite is brilliantly scored for trumpets and timpani, Oboes, bassoon as strings and is in 5 movements an opening Ouverture, Bouree, Gavotte, Menuet and a final Rejouissance. The whole concert is a great introduction to music of the period and with the orchestra being led by Jeremy Hughes who is a strong exponent of Baroque style of music it promises to be fantastic evening – do not miss it. Tickets are available from Lavenham Guildhall Shop, Lavenham Tourist Office or Compact Music in Sudbury. Details of the Sinfonia can be found on the website www.Lavenham-sinfonia .org.uk

Despite a chaotic few days before the event, everyone seemed to enjoy our Open Day and Fun Dog Show. After a storm left a trail of devastation on the Friday night, our fantastic team rallied at silly o’clock on Sunday morning and restored order ready for the visitors’ arrival at midday. Although a little wet, it was a happy day with lots of laughs as volunteers hung onto legs and roofs while others made running repairs to the billowing gazebos! Most importantly, many animals were rehomed but more are coming in so if you are looking for a pet to complete your family, please visit us when we reopen in September. Mum is still looking after injured and orphaned wildlife including a baby duckling that arrived recently. Those bad mannered seagulls that gave me a peck are now living in an outside pen (best place for them in my opinion!) until they are old enough to be released. Our Autumn Fair takes place 11-3pm on 16th September at the Village Hall, Great Bentley, CO7 8LG. Lots of quality items including gifts, antiques, collectables with good food – and me! Looking ahead, if you would like a table at our Christmas Fair, please phone 01206 263269 to book.

Stour Valley U3A Recent Meetings â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World in a Container Shipâ&#x20AC;? was the most interesting talk by Peter Hesketh, a former Police Officer & Merchant Navy Purser, on Wednesday 11 July. As a lone passenger for around 4 months it positively was not a cruise. He explained the attraction of and comments on, life at sea when the ship spends so little time in port. Our Summer Dinner & Social was held at a new venue, The Ipswich Best Western, Copdock and this sell out event was enjoyed by all members present who enjoyed good company and food. As suggested by Members we introduced our first August meeting, on Wednesday 8th, when Tania Harrington MA, artist, art lover and researcher talked on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art Attack-A History of Vandalism In Art". She looked at works of art that have been vandalised over the years and the reasons behind these criminal attacks, divided into Political Motivations, Mad Attacks and Artist Attacks. It was a serious, at times disturbing, but also humorous illustrated talk. Future Meetings & Diary Dates On 12 September Taff Gillingham, Historian, will present a very British view on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remembrance And The Great Warâ&#x20AC;?. Taff advises film makers emphasising the need for historical accuracy on the 1914/18 War. Richard Heap, Production Director of Stephen Walters & Sons Ltd will talk on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silk Weaving In Sudburyâ&#x20AC;? on Wednesday 10 October. He will cover the history of silk weaving and how it came to Sudbury; the Silk Road from China to Sudbury; how silk yarns are processed; the silk Trade; partnerships and relationships between supplier and customer and how the Company engages with the local community and the environment. Our November 14th meeting will feature Davis Simmonds, a National Trust speaker and volunteer, introducing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coast Of East Angliaâ&#x20AC;?. The East Anglian coast is full of contrasts and has much beauty, history and wildlife. His presentation will focus on National Trust coastal properties in Essex & Suffolk.

Bildeston’s Boule-in Fete d’Automne With the endless days of sunshine and harvest gathered in it's time to enjoy September's gift of long evenings and nature's changing colours: So what better start to the season than a trip to Bildeston's Boule-in Fete d'Automne (8th - 16th September : 10am - 5pm daily) “We've just got home with another enormous lorry load of new stock” enthuses Cathy Bullen, who together with her husband Peter, run this ever flourishing business. “Having spent most of the summer scouring the French markets for unusual pieces we're really excited about what we've got in store for our Fête d'Automne customers - we always create a new look for each event, with our initial inspiration coming from one or two distinct pieces. This time we've been spoilt for choice as our Autumn collection ranges from the most amazing Louis XIV style sofa and chairs through to Art Deco decanters and MidCentury glassware...personally I'm most thrilled to have found a spectacularly huge copper which came from the perfume factories in Grasse! It's definitely the piece I most want to keep from this autumn's collection - but I know I'm definitely not allowed to!! Hopefully it'll be bought by someone who'll love it as much as I do....” It's hard to imagine how Cathy can resist many of the stunning decorative pieces - especially as they're for both home and garden spaces “I used to find it really difficult” she admits “but I take pleasure in creating the new settings so it's like having - and enjoying - a whole new decor for a little while.”Any visitor who steps through the unassuming High Street entrance can't fail to be delighted by this uniquely enjoyable shopping experience - whether you're looking for a gift for a friend, something for yourself, your home - or indeed beautiful and unusual bulbs and plants to refresh your Autumn planting there's something to tempt and inspire. So be warned : It's difficult to leave without a bag or two on your arm together with a brownie or two in your tummy!

Did you know, that Suffolk Libraries is a not-forprofit, independent and charitable organisation, set up in 2012 to run the service for the benefit of the people of Suffolk? It is interesting, that this rather large change, which took place 6 years ago and was certainly talked about a lot then, has somehow, over time, been forgotten. There are 44 libraries in Suffolk, plus other services such as the mobile library all of which are run by Suffolk Libraries, who are contracted by Suffolk County Council to run the service. Community groups of local people make up the membership groups who support Suffolk Libraries and can be directly involved in how their local library is developed. But everyone can do something to support their local library: starting with – using it. Libraries long ago shook off the mantel of being dusty hushed places where you had to be quiet and studious and where fun and chatter were, perhaps given a stern glare. But, even though we and our regulars know that the world of the library is an entirely different place now, many people still have the pleasure of discovering that this is so. We have increased our range of services and events and always seek to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can spend some time, browse the internet, take out a DVD or join in with one of the social groups. We are here to provide support to our local communities and there are ways that people can show their support back, such as our Suffolk Libraries Extra scheme (see our website) or even just rounding up your 88 pence fine to £1 and donating the extra 12p to the organisation, safe in the knowledge that every penny that is donated to Suffolk Libraries goes back into providing better services for all in the community. We librarians are a group of people who care very much about our patrons, old, new and those still to find us, and will go out of our way to help as much as possible. The more we can put back into the library, the more we can do for you. Even if it’s just a few pennies in the donation pot, you can rest assured that small change makes big changes.

5 Top tips for selling your home Get it right first time. In today’s sensitive market place it is imperative to set the correct asking price right from the beginning. Homeowners that do will always be rewarded with the best possible selling price. Given the way that buyers now search for properties online, your biggest audience of buyers will be in the first few days/weeks of going onto the market and, as such, it’s important to capitalise on this demand. If you set higher prices, what your often find is that the property becomes a dated listing, resulting in poorer results. First impressions. A large number of buyers will drive by a property before committing to a viewing, and as such it’s important that your home looks fantastic every day that the house is on the market. Keeping windows clean, front gardens clear of weeds and the front door sparkling will always be good practise. Appeal to the subconscious. If you asked 1000 people if they wished to live in a clean and tidy home, I am pretty sure that they would all answer ‘clean and tidy’. As such, let’s give them a clean and tidy home to view. Smell like roses. Let’s not forget that you are selling a very expensive product, and setting the right environment is very important. So, open a window, put some fresh flowers on the table and think about a couple of subtle air fresheners to place around the house. Make it light. Almost every buyer in the market at some stage states that they are looking for a ‘bright house’ so let’s give them what they are asking for. Ensure that you are aware of the following; all light bulbs are working, make sure doors and windows are open, weather permitting, and even any very dark coloured walls repainted lighter. If you are thinking of a possible move soon, or just require some general advice about selling, then please get in touch, we are always happy to take the time to talk to you.

We have spent a busy summer on our various garden visits. The first in May, to the magnificent Stody Gardens outside Holt, where, on a very cold day, we were overwhelmed by the sight of over 2000 specimens of Rhododendrons and Azaleas in full bloom. The colours were reflected in the numerous pools and streams in the water gardens. By the house, the formal borders were a riot of clashing colours, a real feast for the senses and absolutely glorious. In June we headed for Tom Stuart-Smith’s garden at Serge Hill in Hertfordshire. We were welcomed by Tom’s sister who looks after their mother’s house and densely planted borders and walled garden. This has been established by generations of the family and had a classic walled garden, with scrambling climbers, roses and herbaceous plantings, all in full bloom. Tom’s garden was equally fascinating, incorporating an installation of one of his Chelsea gardens in a sunken courtyard by his home. Behind this we enjoyed exploring many hidden borders and corners in a more formal design, before viewing the newly established Prairie Garden, all flowing beautifully into the surrounding landscape. At the end of June we celebrated our 50th Anniversary with a delicious buffet meal in the beautiful gardens of Parham Hall, opened especially for us by kind permission of the owners Adam and Sue Paul. Sue gave us an introduction to the history and current management of the garden, before she and Adam showed us round the crinkle-crankle walled kitchen garden, encompassing a wide variety of fruit trees, and well- tended vegetables. The hall is surrounded by landscaped grounds, all of which is tended by the owners, without extra help, quite a feat! We have an extra visit planned to the Salutation Gardens on the 5th September, and bookings are now being taken for that. Autumn meetings begin again on October 6th at the Chamberlin Hall, with Val Bourne and her talk ‘Peonies and Roses – A Marriage Made in Heaven’. Meanwhile we are working to help our gardens recover from the recent drought and hoping for more rain. eastangliangardengroup.onesuffolk.net

Colliers help to pave the way for Capel St Mary’s first ever war memorial Unlike many other Suffolk towns and villages Capel St Mary does not have a memorial to commemorate those in its communities who died in the two world wars of the last century. The village would have had a memorial to men from the village who lost their lives serving their country but the money collected for it back in the 1920s was given instead to the old Ipswich Hospital to help fund treatment for the wounded. Now fittingly, 100 years after the end of the First World War, Capel St Mary’s first ever war memorial will be officially unveiled on the 11th November. Work is on-going but until the Dedication in November, the monument and memorial garden will be enclosed in boarding painted with murals by East Bergholt High School students. The war memorial has been a project which has energised the local community and beyond, to engage in a number of fundraising activities, all under the guidance of Capel St Mary War Memorial Fund and its Chairman Group Captain Gary Bunkell. Collier & Catchpole is one of the local businesses to lend its support by donating the paving slabs to be used as part of the landscaping project for the memorial. It is not the first memorial in which this independent builders’ merchant has been involved. Back in 2013, Collier & Catchpole donated the materials for a monument on the Ipswich Road, Colchester to commemorate the crew of a Lancaster bomber which crashed as it tried an emergency landing at Boxted Airfield in 1944. Managing Director Tim Rowbottom explains why these projects are so important: “We are a family firm with roots in East Anglia, going back almost 200 years. As a business, it is a strong sense of community which sets us apart from other merchants. We recognise the importance of this and are happy to lend our strength, which is being a supplier of the best quality building materials, to key local community projects.” For further information and details of other key supporters, see: www.capelmemorial.org.uk project website

Down to Earth ...with Dave I must start this article with the sad news that John Rye has died. Due to continuing ill health it was his decision a couple of years ago to stop writing his regular article for the Community News. This led me to start writing this down to earth column. John was a much respected member of the local community and will be sadly missed. The excessive heat we have had for several months has finally given way to a more normal weather pattern, with the heavy rain coming just in time to save some of the plants in the garden and allow the hosepipe to be put away for now. Goodness knows water the water meter bill will be. It is quite amazing how the grass has greened up, although some lawns that were trimmed a bit low are taking longer to recover. The moral is to raise the mower blades up a bit and the grass will recover quicker. This year we have resisted the temptation to buy so many plants and in future we will be more selective in the plants that we grow, paying more attention to how they react to the drier conditions that we will no doubt be getting in the future. On a visit at the beginning of August to the summer show at the R.H.S gardens Hyde Hall, we came away with fewer plants than normal and the ones we did buy were more suited for pots than borders. This show seems to get better every year with many attractions such as a pair of lady harpists, so relaxing to listen to whilst having a coffee. A display of superb bespoke built shepherds hut, more money than we could ever afford. A mobile flower bus showing some clever ideas on British flower arranging. Who would have thought to put a single shortened Hydrangea bloom on its own in a vase? Plus all the usual trade stands all showing drought resistant plants. A very pleasant day out. Back on the allotment everything is growing at a fair old pace with the weeds at the moment winning the race. The answer is of course regular hoeing. I have never seen so many courgettes and squash. There is already a line of squash ripening on a shelf in the greenhouse. It is a pity the courgettes don’t store. Unfortunately some of them grow quickly that they end up on the compost. The potatoes are a bit small this year no doubt due to the very dry weather. With water being so precious they were not watered. The potato and the tomato are related but if you get a green tomato like fruit on the potato foliage whatever you do don’t let any youngsters eat it as they are poisonous. The potatoes are being dug up as quickly as possible but they should be ok left in the ground for a few days. I don’t like to moan but the rain is holding things up a bit. As an experiment I am using some large non-returnable canvas builders bags as compost containers. So far it seems to be working with the compost heap never looking so tidy. That’s all for this time, Dave

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Monday August 13th 2018: We had a very interesting and enjoyable evening with Neil Bradfield in August. Neil is a professional gardener very much involved with Plant Heritage and was able to share with us his knowledge of and involvement with the group, the main aim of which is to conserve the diversity of cultivated plants. This serves a vital role as he explained that 50,000 plants have disappeared from the 'Plant Finder' directory. Plant Heritage has 32 local county groups with over 400 plant collection holders, 14 of which are in Suffolk, and these collections are open to the general public. The evening ended on a practical note with Neil giving detailed demonstrations of propagating salvias and twin scaling bulbs to increase stock. I think many of us learned something new. Some sad news to end with - one of our members, John Rye, passed away in July. He joined the club in 1975 just after he and his family moved to Hadleigh. Over the years he and his wife took on many roles for the club. His wife Mary was our secretary at one time and, until a few years ago, John was our club president - he will be very much missed. Our next get together on Monday September 10th 2018: This month we welcome Janet Parsons as our guest speaker, the theme for the evening will be 'Orchids', a subject new for the club. The meeting starts at 7.30pm in Hadleigh Town Hall and is £3 for non members and £1 for members, to include refreshments. The competition for this month is ' five runner beans on a plate', and of course we will also have the usual sales table and raffle. We are always happy to welcome new members and we look forward to seeing you there.

Chamberlin hall’s open day showcased some of the fantastic activities that are available for the local community, and all conveniently just a short walk from your front door. People were given the opportunity to try out bowls on the village bowling green, and also to take part in badminton and table tennis. For anyone who missed the day, who would like to try their hand at bowls, the club offers a pay-as-you go option (£2) on a Friday night if you just want to pop along try it for yourself. Badminton and table tennis, which take place on a Monday night, are also open to new members. The day also featured the Wednesday drama group with information on their upcoming Panto. Any budding performer or anyone who would like to get involved with lighting, set design or costumes would be a welcome addition to the group. For information call Jean on 01449 741362. And whilst our teachers for keep-fit, Zumba and Pilates were unfortunately unable to attend on the day, there was information available for anyone interested in these. The Tuesday keep-fit class with Callum features upbeat music to get you moving, while the Thursday Zumba class is a friendly group of folk who want to get fit while learning some dance steps and enjoying some great tunes. Both classes offer a pay as you go option for £5, so why not drop by and try them out? Meanwhile, a Pilates class run by physiotherapist Claire on Fridays offers a ‘Pilates for all’ session suitable for all levels and also a postnatal and pregnancy Pilates class where little one’s are welcome to come along too. This class needs to be pre-booked, so anyone interested needs to call: 07900 440141. Meanwhile, Bildeston’s baby and toddler group set up a ‘play corner’ where Kids were invited to take part in a teddy bear treasure hunt and to get artistic with the chalkboards and try their hand at some crafts and building. This group which takes place outside the hall, at the baptist church, on a Tuesday, offers parents and caters a place to take the kids to meet some new friends. Other regular events include Bingo on the last Friday of the month, the monthly indoor market featuring produce and crafts (next market is 1 September), with the popular MLSPA performing arts group on Monday’s and Tuesdays. New classes may be joining soon so keep an eye on on the Bugle ‘What’s on’ advert. To find out more, or to enquire about hiring the hall, call our bookings Secretary Debbie on 01449 740375. The hall is here for the local community so if you are interested in getting involved and running a local group, we would love to hear from you! We can offer discounted hire rates for a couple of weeks for new businesses that are still building an established client base. Just speak to Debbie to find out more.

News from The Station On Tuesday 17th July all PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Suffolk attended a meeting at Headquarters to hear the news that we had all feared. It had been decided that PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in their current format would no longer be part of the Policing family in Suffolk. 89 PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would be reduced down to 49. PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will focus on intervention and problem solving. 27 PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will remain in SNT (Safer Neighbourhood Teams), they will however focus on mental health, children and young people, and anti-social behaviour. 3 PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be solely for schools throughout Suffolk and there are plans for 18 match funded PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to work specifically within a community. The proposed changes recognises the challenges being faced from county line drug dealing, youth gang violence and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden crimeâ&#x20AC;? such as domestic violence affecting the most vulnerable in our communities. The training, capability and powers of a police constable will be more effective in meeting the challenges faced daily. 9 Community Engagement Police Officers were introduced to work within SNTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. These officers will provide timely and relevant information and support, and develop volunteering schemes in the community. They will be involved in public events, crime prevention, digital engagement and local crime and antisocial behaviour. What This Means There will be 3 PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based in Ipswich, but they will cover the Hadleigh SNT area and Ipswich West area. These PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be responsible for the above more specialised roles, so may not be dealing with as many varied jobs on a daily basis as we currently do deal with. As far as Hadleigh SNT is concerned, 5 PCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will no longer be working at Hadleigh. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just cover Hadleigh but 49 other rural villages primarily around the Babergh area. These smaller communities will also not see a visible presence on a daily basis from a PCSO. From a personal level I would just like to say that the 8 years I have worked in Hadleigh have been very rewarding. Having been born, grown up, married and raised my children in Hadleigh, it has been a privilege to Police it. I take pride in all the things I have been able to achieve, the people I have met and helped, the youths that I have dealt with over the years who have now grown up to have families and careers. I enjoyed meeting lots of people through all walks of life and I will miss that interaction. Potentially, I may not be working for Suffolk Police by the time that you read this article, so would please ask that if you have any problems, issues, want to report lost keys or wallets, complain about a vehicle parked, no tax etc, you have found a bike, and you want to report any kind of anti-social behaviour, you PLEASE donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contact me directly, personally by text/facebook/phone, that you direct your enquiry through the normal channels ie 999 for an emergency or 101 for non-emergency. I will still continue to live and shop and probably socialise a bit more in the town so wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a complete stranger. Thank you all once again for reading my article every month for the last 5 years, but sadly this will be my last. I have enjoyed doing them albeit it is often hard to find new subjects to talk about. I would also like to thank Kelvin and all at HCN for allowing me to put my article in their magazine. Please continue to contact Suffolk Police on usual numbers 999/101 So, for the last time PCSO 3173 Julia Bignell I would like to thank Julia for supplying HCN with a Police Report each month, it will be greatly missed as indeed will her and her colleagues presence in Hadleigh and the surrounding areas. Will this mean the Police are even less visible in our Communities? I sadly suspect so. Kelvin Avis

As historic building specialists, we offer sympathetic & honest restoration & conservation services in the following areas:

Hot-smoked partridge it doesn't get easier than this! The partridge season starts on 1 September and birds will be widely available in game dealers and good supermarkets from September onwards; prices for dressed birds vary and they are typically sourced from a small number of shoots, so it's wise to shop around. Birds in feather are worth a great deal less but you don't know what you're getting until they are plucked. They are not big birds but there is a surprising amount of meat on them; one bird is plenty for one & adequate for two with some veg. Essential equipment 1. A covered gas or charcoal fired BBQ with a temperature gauge or a purpose made hot/cold smoker. 2. A stainless steel container for your wood chips Ingredients A brace of dressed partridges 1 Level Teaspoon Standard (not extra-virgin) olive oil A pinch of Sea salt 1 small Lemon 4 normal size Bay leaves (ideally fresh but dried works OK) Oak or ash (hickory) wood chips, amount depends upon your smoke generator 1. There is an old school that promotes the hanging of game birds for a number of weeks. Don't go there; game treated in this way develops a really strong flavour that the old school describes as gamey; a more accurate description is a nasty acrid taste. They have to be hung for a day or two to enable them to be plucked without tearing the skin; dressed at that time and eaten fresh they are optimum. 2. Pre-heat the BBQ/smoker to 140ÂşC; if using a gas BBQ, light the burners on the side opposite that where the birds will stand. 3. Place the wood chips in the container and add a small (125ml) glass of water; place the lid, shake & allow to infuse for 5min. Drain off excess water & replace the lid. 4. Allow the birds to come to room temperature at the surface; dry with kitchen paper & rub the whole bird with olive oil - you can use a brush, but fingers work just as well. 5. Immediately rub the birds lightly with the salt; place in a lidded container to protect from insect pests for 10 minutes; the salt serves to make the skin more porous and enhance smoke penetration. 6. Quarter the lemon lengthwise and insert two quarters into the cavity of the bird together with two bay leaves. 7. Place the wood chip container directly onto the heat source (charcoal) or immediately above it (gas). 8. Cook at 130-150ÂşC for 30-40 minutes and apply the skewer test every 5 min from 25 min onwards; when the thickest part of the bird is pierced with a skewer, and the juices that run out are clear, the bird is cooked. 9. Cover with foil and allow to rest for around 10 minutes. To serve The old school will tell you to serve them whole on a slice of toast; dealing with it this way is a bit of a rigmarole on the plate. Serve them with sautĂŠ potatoes and French beans or fresh peas; one per person with a small amount of veg; half with plenty of veg.

Kersey Mill Newsletter A sizzling summer has provided a welcome window for some of the works around the mill. Having seen very little rain for 50 days or so water levels in the river and mill pond have been incredibly low. The limited water levels have made turning the waterwheel by water power impossible but has allowed a great opportunity for much needed repairs and maintenance to be carried out on the weir gates and mill pond walls. George and Charles are pictured repairing severely damaged and cracked walling to the mill pool. Having cleared away a large amount of foliage the extent of the damage was very visible. Several large sections of walling had broken away, cracked and many bricks needed replacing. A section of bank had slipped and the gates to the the weir needed general maintenance before the high waters return. Water flow is a very important ingredient for a watermill, too little or too much is not good. A mill such as Kersey Mill will not operate satisfactorily all year round on a small river like the Brett due to the variability of the water supply. The river level increases rapidly after a shower but decreases to levels that we have recently seen during the summer, milling would not be possible in these conditions. The Mill Pond at Kersey would have been created around 1860 with the introduction of the steam driven side of the mill thus giving the miller a more constant supply of energy and enable milling all year round. The miller would have been able to store far greater quantities of water in the mill pond for the steam engine than could be held in the mill race and river to feed the water wheel. The mill pond will not be used again to power a steam engine but nevertheless it is a very important part of the history of the mill and needs preserving hence the current works. Works to the Hurst Frame have continued at a pace with the bed now being reinstated, pictured is Bill Griffiths working on the bed. More on this next month.

Suffolk Bereavement Support â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letting go is a difficult concept for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one The concept of letting go is often a tricky one for those who have lost a loved one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that is easily misconstrued as forgetting about the person concerned but this couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be further from the truth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really more about accepting what has happened, but acknowledging at the same time that love never dies, and therefore remains unchanged after death. In our groups we try to give our members the understanding that over time they can reach the point where the memory of a loved one can be treasured without such an intense focus on what has been lost. If this blog is meaningful for you in connection with a bereavement, be it recent or further back in time then why not come and join a Suffolk Bereavement Support group? We are here to help! Our afternoon group is held in central Hadleigh on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 1.30pm-3.00pm and our Capel St. Mary group meets in the early evening on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 6.30pm-8.00pm. Each meeting finishes with refreshments and informal chat. We would love to hear from you if you would like to join us at any time.

Sadly, our guided tour â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Miss Lawrence Goes Shoppingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Blue Badge guide, Jane Snowdon, had to be postponed due to the excessively hot weather although, in reality, rain would have stopped play.

Hadleigh United Youth Football Club have been accepted to run a Girls only FA Wildcats Centre starting from September 2018. The Football Association & SSE have teamed up to launch a new initiative - Wildcats Girls' Football Centres. These centres are designed to inspire and provide girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football in a fun and engaging environment, created exclusively for girls. There are now over 900 centres with 26,000 participants across the country. No football experience is required. Hadleigh United FC is excited to be the latest centre starting in Suffolk. The girls only football sessions take place on a weekly basis and will be starting on Tuesday 18th September 2018, from 5-6pm. They will be held at Hadleigh United Football Club, The Millfield, Tinkers Lane, Hadleigh. Every girl who attends the training will receive their introductory session for free; thereafter the cost is only £2.50 per session. New kit, balls and equipment supplied by the FA will be used at the new club. The head coach for the centre is Gavin Peters who is a UEFA B qualified coach, alongside having the necessary Safeguarding, Emergency Aid, DBS, and Equality and Diversity Training. In order to book a place, free trial, or for further information, please contact Gavin at strikersltd@aol.com

Hadleigh Dolphins Two Hadleigh Dolphins Swimming Club members recently returned from representing Great Britain in the Biathle/Triathle European Championships in Germany with a haul of medals. Elliot and Darcy Gladwell were competing in the Biathle event which is a continuous run-swim-run at a lake close to Weiden. Darcy was representing the U11 team and finished a superb 5th (3rd GB girl across the line) which gave her a team gold medal. Elliot was in the U15 age group and he finished 2nd in the individual event and also picked up a team gold, his last event was the mixed relay where he crossed the line first winning his third medal of the day. Over 400 competitors took part in the 2 day competition from 17 different European countries. A fantastic achievement and wonderful experience for them both.

Art Club Activities The Hadleigh Art Club resume meetings now the long hot summer is over. The first meeting of the autumn session is on September 11th and the theme is ‘Cups, saucers and tea or coffee pot’. The following meeting September 18th; ‘Clothing draped on a chair’. One of the most successful afternoons of recent years was dedicated to painting on stones and it has been decided that we should repeat that exercise on September 25th. The Art Club is always ready to welcome new members to join our small, friendly group. The Club meets on Tuesday afternoons at 2 o’clock in the Hadleigh Library Seminar Room, we have break for tea and the session ends at 4pm.

Charity Golf event at Stoke-by-Nayland A charity event for Breast Cancer was held at Stoke By Nayland golf club on 1st August, which was well supported with almost 100 players. This event was run for the 2nd year in succession by Ray Harris and his team, they raised £6500, beating the previous years’ £4500. Ray lost his daughter to this dreadful disease in 2009 leaving Kate’s Son Joe who was 6 at the time. For many years Joe didn’t want to talk about his Mother’s passing, but in 2016 he surprised his family by announcing he was going to have his head shaved in order to raise money for Cancer research so that others shouldn’t have to lose their Mothers to the disease. He raised £1,000 and along with his family decided to start the Charity Golf day. Following this golf day, Joe surprised his family by watching videos of his Mother, this was the first time he’d ever asked since her passing. Cancer research will hopefully achieve its ambition of nobody dying of the disease by the year 2050. The winning team, pictured, with a score of 97 points were Bob Tokely, Don Wiggins, Ian Collett & Keith Hodgson, Ray & Joe are centre of picture.

Jonathan Lambert/Dave Lavelle. Tom King, Dave Lavelle, Jonathan Lambert and Nathan Willett Newton Green staged another successful golf week with 500 entries across seven competitions, including the hugely popular Jonathan Lambert Centenary Silver Salver. Once again the end-of- week, Saturday contest attracted around 130 entries, with former captain Dave Lavelle a popular winner. Lavelle again demonstrated his haphazard speech making capabilities, as he brought cheers and laughter to an unscheduled doubled act presentation routine with lady captain Lizzie Johnson. He had received the trophy from sponsor Jonathan Lambert, having won the event on count back with 41 Stableford points, his eight points from the last three holes helping him edge home ahead of Tim Harbord, with Robert Rush third on 40 points. The evening was given a glittering atmosphere thanks to the marque decorating skills of Kate Fraser, who also managed to extract a record fourfigure profit from the raffle organised by the ladies’ section. There was a very tight contest for the best woman spot in the salver, with Gwyneth Ferreira at the count back top of six contestants on 36 points. Thirteen-year-old Nathan Willett, with a handicap of 24, was the best junior with an impressive 39 points. Alongside the salver, the lower handicap players were also competing for the Carole List Goblet for the best gross score, with Tom King winning with a three over par 72. The week began in oppressive heat as nearly 100 contestants managed to survive the Tuesday morning Delaney scramble, but conditions eased to such an extent that by the end of the week competitions just managed to dodge numerous heavy storms. Once again, Dora George, who conceived the idea of the festival more than a decade ago and remains event chairman, piloted the festival to another successful conclusion. Results: Salver: 1 Dave Lavelle, 2 Tim Harbord, 3 Robert Rush. Goblet, Tom King. Best lady, Gwyneth Ferreira. Best junior, Nathan Willett. Delaney Scramble: Kevin Smith, Judy Donnelly, Frank Salt and Chris Williams. Stableford: Rob Bradbury, Andrew Johnson, Carol Durston and Roger Manby. Kiskadee: Margaret Hills and Steve Ranson. Three clubs/putter: Tony Mitchell, Andrea Thompson and Jim Devereux. Foxes and rabbits: Marilyn and Mick Mills. Cross country: Steve Knappet.

Suffolk Rockets Netball Club The summer is quiet for the club as we finished training in July and we resume in September. During the summer some of our current Junior players and some of our new players came together to play two friendly matches again Finborough Netball Club, it was a lovely evening and it was great to watch both games and see the new players in action. In our first game Finborough won a very even game 10-9, in the second match we played our older girls who took the win 23-1. It was good practice but most importantly it was a chance for all the girls to get together and start forming relationships with their new team mates which is so important in sports. Thank you to Finborough for hosting the games and we hope to have them over to Hadleigh in the near future. On 18th August we ran our annual Taster Session for Juniors. This year we also invited players going into years 5 & 6, as well as years 7,8,9 and 10. We had a huge response and altogether we welcomed 22 new players as well as 8 of our current players who came to train and welcome the new girls. For two hours we had fun playing fun warm up games, drills, invasion games and match play. Since then we have had most girls confirming they would like to join the club and play regularly in the Colchester League. If you would like more information regarding our Junior club please contact us on the information below. Our Adult players are having a break over the summer but will be back training on 12th September, we are always welcoming new Adult players of any experience and standard, most of our players started as 'back to netball' players who hadn't played since school, so if this is you don't let it put you off and email us for more information! Good luck to our two Adult teams playing in the Colchester pre season Tournament on 9th September. From May - August Suffolk Netball Performance Academies run their trials for the new season, 4 Rocket players made it through to the second trials which consisted of 4 further sessions to test their fitness, ability and coaching standard - we are absolutely thrilled to announce all 4 girls have been selected to join Suffolk Satellite Academies for the 2018/2019 season. Well done Lola Crawford, Heidi Marsh, Esme Mallett and Eloise Hayward the whole club is extremely proud of you and all you have achieved. We are looking for new sponsors for our u15 and u13 teams for the season, if you are a local business and would like more information please contact Hayley on the email address below. suffolkrocketsnc@hotmail.com.
