High Street Loyalty Card powers on! Hadleigh’s Loyalty Card shopping scheme set up by the town’s Chamber of Commerce has been such a success that it’s been difficult keeping up with demand for the cards. Two print runs have been exhausted and cards were in short supply until District and County Councillor Brian Riley came to the rescue and financed the printing of 25,000 more cards with his donation of £500 from the Community Locality Budget. Brian, who is District Councillor in Hadleigh North and County Councillor for Hadleigh, presented the cheque to Jane Haylock of Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber’s summer party at Priory Hall in Hadleigh. “Support for our High Street is a key factor in the continued attractiveness of our town and I’m proud to be able to make such a firm and practical contribution,” said Brian Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce President, Tony Addison, welcomed the cheque and said how pleased he was to see such a commitment to Hadleigh’s future and the recognition that market towns are worth supporting. The Loyalty Card, which was Jane’s project, encourages people to shop locally. Shoppers collect stars on the card each time they spend money in participating shops, pubs and restaurants. When all 10 stars are collected the cards are handed in to take part in a monthly prize draw. “We now have 1,700 handed in each month which represents 17,000 sales in Hadleigh shops,” said Jane. About 75 percent of the cards handed in come from Hadleigh residents with the rest from neighbouring villages and some from people who have stayed in the town as tourists.

The Hadleigh Historian

GSOLICITORS IBBONS

- Issue 17 (August-September 2013) This independent magazine is published every two months, with the current issue The Hadleigh Historian The Hadleigh Historian in the shops at the beginning of August. August-September 2013 Price £3 The front cover features three very Issue 17 distinctive versions of St Mary’s Church spire. Since 1926, its design has created an uninterrupted fall for rain water that formerly caused all sorts of problems when dampness rotted supporting timbers. The Hadleigh Historian welcomes Nigel Crisp to its pages with his far-reaching story of Hadleigh boy Thomas Quinton Stow who, 150 years after his death, is still esteemed in Adelaide, Australia, as founding father of the Congregational community there. Nigel has researched his subject in both England and Australia and he has also found two portraits of Thomas Quinton Stow, which show a kind, caring man with great determination to conquer any difficulties. Beside the footpath that leads from St Mary’s churchyard to Market Place is a red-brick wall built in 1757. Now cut through in several places to give access to gardens in Church Street, High Street and Market Place, the wall and some 16th century brickwork indicate the site of a very important feature of Hadleigh’s medieval market. ‘From the British School log book’ looks at the day-to-day running of the school in Market Place (now the Ansell Centre) as recorded from 1871 until 1899 by four headmasters. Although regular testing was an important part of school life, excursions and field trips were made and the annual scholars’ concert became so popular that from 1892, it had to be held in the Town Hall opposite in order that the crowds, formerly unable to gain admittance when the entertainment had been held in the school, could be accommodated. Having seen her former home in George Street featured on the font cover of Issue 14, Barbara Scarff now recalls her memories of childhood during the 1930s in ‘I remember Hadleigh’. She recollects daily life in a home with no electricity or running water, children’s games, special treats and many town shops as well as the characters who ran them. Do you have photographs or memories of the town or its surrounding countryside in the recent past that you would like to share? Treasured family photos can be copied and returned immediately. Please contact the editor: Sue Andrews, 17 Manor Road, Bildeston, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP7 7BG. On sale at Avis the Newsagent and at Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, price £3.

Howard in Ipswich Hospital My dear readers, July has not been a particularly good month for me. I had to have an operation at Ipswich Hospital. Although the procedure was fairly straightforward, it was to be a daunting prospect for me since I had not been in hospital before. The morning of admission dawned and I had to arrive at the Hospital by 7.30. I was fortunate to be accompanied by my mother and a good friend and so I did not feel quite so alone. I had never had an operation before let alone have to be anaesthetised. From the time of my arrival until the operation at a little before 12 noon, I was called in to see the various specialists involved. I did not know though when the moment of truth would be upon me. At 11 I was asked to don a gown (a fairly mundane affair without trimmings) but it was another 45 minutes before a nurse took me to the operating theatres. I must admit that I was fairly scared as we arrived outside the theatres which were a buzz with activity. I remember seeing all sorts of cylinders and medical staff running around. I was taken into a small room and put in a bed where I was wired up. I was then pushed through some double doors and into the operating theatre where there were large oval lights on the ceiling, machinery and various surgeons all in their overalls and they seemed to be wearing short wellington boots. By this time, I was in something of a tizz, however, the nurse looking after me was very kindly and re-assuring. I was told that I may feel a sting in my arm and that was the last that I remembered. I came round at about 2.30 in the afternoon and was wheeled in a motorised bed to the new Garrett Anderson building. I was so delighted to find that I had my own room with a lovely bathroom. I had to stay in hospital over night where I was so well looked after and I even came across one or two of you – my readers. Soon after I came round I had rather a nice dinner of turkey lasagne and a jam sponge pudding with custard. There is always an up-side. I am grateful to my readers and clients for their best wishes and I am now feeling much better. One never knows what is around the corner and so if you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place then please have a word with me. This is a document that will enable those that you appoint to run your affairs in your place even after you have lost mental capacity. There is something of a procedure to go through, however, we can handle all of that for you. Do telephone to enquire. I wish you well for your Summer Holidays. Howard Gibbons

Harold Double is the Winner Harold Double who lives in Hadleigh and attends Angel Court Community Wellbeing Centre Care UK, entered a competition at the centre, ‘Name the new home’ which is being built in Ipswich and should be completed in June 2014. The name Harold came up with was ‘Asterbury Place’ the runner up was Paulette Scott, manager of the centre. They both won £100 worth of vouchers. Harold was delighted to be picked as the winner as was his wife Dianne. They are going to a wedding in August so the vouchers will go towards Harold’s outfit. Harold and his wife Dianne Harold has been attending the centre for a year now and really enjoys his day there, especially when we go out for lunch to local restaurants or to Felixstowe. Since coming to the centre Harold has become more confident and independent, also this gives his wife, who is his main carer, time off from her role so she can meet up with friends or just have time to herself. We are all excited about the new home that is being built, customers new and old hopefully will attend the new centre. We will watch the Residential Home and Centre with anticipation. The customers will have trips out to see the new build. Well done Harold in winning the competition, we have already celebrated in style at the centre with a strawberry cream tea. If anyone would like more information regarding the Centre please feel free to call in at Angel Court or ask for Paulette Scott on 033 321 8398 (local rate).

New Colchester Venue Opens with Satirical Performance Art by 85 year old Hadleigh Resident The Waiting Room at the old Bus Station in Colchester is being transformed into a brand new arts community space as part of the St Botolph’s quarter regeneration project. It will celebrate its official opening on Friday 16th August with an Opening Night Party and a ‘wake’ in the form of a satirical art performance Sarcophagus: September 2008 created by 85 year old Peter Johnson from Hadleigh, Suffolk. Colchester School of Art (part of Colchester Institute) in partnership with The Creative Co-op, have taken over The Waiting Room to create a vibrant centre for learning, creating, presenting, selling and above all socialising. It will include Artists’ Studios, a History Project, Library, Temporary Shops, Café, Bar and Kitchen run by Charlie Stocker, Master Chef: Professional Quarter Finalist Peter Johnson, 85 years, pictured 2012. All this means it is likely to in his garden in Hadleigh, with become one of the town’s most the original prototype and small popular social and cultural hubs. For scale model of Sarcophagus: further information visit www.st- September 2008 to be exhibited botolphs.org. full size at The Waiting Room Jayne Knowles, Head of Colchester Colchester School of Art, says “I am delighted to be able to work with Colchester’s creative community and help it flourish. This will provide support for our existing students and develop a platform for them to market their ideas once they leave us and embark upon their careers.” Sarcophagus: September 2008 is a modern day Hogarthian comment on the state of the global economy. The artwork itself, in the form of a gilded replica of a full sized human skeleton in a transparent coffin, will remain on display at the Waiting Room for 6 weeks after the opening. Scattered around the golden skeleton are the trappings of financial recklessness including a clutch of credit cards, an empty Champagne bottle, a laptop, a mobile phone, a luxury sports car key fob, a watch and a copy of the FT dated 16th September 2008 announcing the global economic crisis after collapse of Lehman Brothers. A mortuary ticket is attached to the left big toe with the inscription “Mammon: September 2008”. As part of the performance art Sarcophagus: September 2008 will arrive by hearse and be carried into the Waiting Room where Peter will give a eulogy to assembled guests. “As an 85 year old pensioner I never imagined my performance artwork would end its journey at The Waiting Room that is simultaneously embarking on its own exciting journey as Colchester’s new arts venue” Peter Johnson of Angel Street, Hadleigh said. “Two years ago I had this sudden vision that would not leave me alone. I made notes, sketches and budgeted. Despite the realisation it would cost quite a bit, almost the equivalent of two Saga cruises, I became determined to turn Sarcophagus: September 2008 into reality. Is it an oldman’s folly or something more significant? Frankly I do not care, for I have enjoyed the journey immensely and have cemented lasting friendships in the process.” For further information visit www.sarcophagus2008.co.uk

Welcome to Barker Carpentry! Barker Carpentry is run by Max Barker who has recently relocated from the Essex coast to Sudbury. The business covers all carpentry requirements from works around the home and garden, to renovations, and new build developments. Services include; flooring; skirting and architraves; door hanging and window fitting; fencing and decking; design and construction or repair of summerhouses, sheds and timber garages; fitted wardrobes; kitchen repair or replacement - this list is by no means exhaustive and new projects are always welcomed with enthusiasm. Although Max continues to get work in the Clacton area both from returning clients and new customers, he is looking to start building a similar client base locally and cut out the commute thereby reducing his carbon footprint and being closer to home and brand new baby girl, Isla! Max really enjoys his work and especially likes the opportunity it gives him to work within his local community, and Sudbury already feels like home to the family of three. He prides himself on his high standards and professional and friendly service – customer satisfaction is extremely important and as a result most of his business comes from personal recommendations. Do you have a project in mind but are not quite sure where to start? Allow Barker Carpentry to take the pressure off – Max can arrange quotes for you and organise work from other trades should further skills be required.

Business as usual Have you ever watched ants at work? Amid apparent chaos they all know what they are doing and unite to get the job done. That is a good description of life at Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare over the last month. I've never seen the humans so busy as a long term plan to refurbish the cat accommodation is finally coming to fruition. Our volunteers deserve a massive thank you for all their sterling work and for preparing for the Fete which will be over by the time you read this. Another example of long term planning was the Leavenheath Open Gardens on 23rd June. Congratulations to Phil Goodyer and his team for a successful event and thank you for donating £600 to SESAW. Our next fundraising event is a Craft Sale at Leavenheath Village Hall on Saturday 10th August from midday to 3pm. As usual, we have many animals awaiting re homing, including Harry the Lurcher. He is very sad because his owner died and he fears no-one will want a thirteen and a half year old dog. It would be ideal if someone local (with no cats) could offer him a nice quiet foster home. Bustifer, the large black and white cat who is bigger than me, is still with us. I mentioned him in my June news and thought someone would snap him up as he is quite a character - for a cat! It's a dog's life for me so I'm off to supervise putting up the bunting but someone will have to find a step ladder for me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua

Appeal from the Hadleigh & District 485U +Branch Reflex Blue of the Royal British Legion Background - The Royal British Legion was established following the Great War of 1914-1918 to provide support for the thousands of veterans and their families. Since then the numbers of veterans has significantly reduced, however the need for support for our service personnel is as important as ever and the Legion continues to play a vital role as the UK’s leading Armed Forces charity. What the Legion does - The legion provides practical, emotional and financial support to all members of the British Armed Forces past and present, and their families. It actively campaigns to improve their lives and safeguard the Military Covenant between the nation and its Armed Forces. It organises the annual Poppy Appeal and is recognised as the nation's custodian of Remembrance. The Legion’s mission is to provide welfare, comradeship, representation and Remembrance for the Armed Forces Community. Role of the Branch - Although a national organisation, the direct link with the community is through the local Branch and so the local Branch plays a crucial role. Unfortunately, we have seen a number of Suffolk Branches close down this year and our own local Branch is in danger of following suit. The Hadleigh Branch is now desperately looking for new members to join the committee. Before alarm bells ring and people run for the hills, please note that you do not need to do anything we simply need members to enable the Branch to legally function as a formal organisation. Without members we cannot vote on propositions and so become ineffective. How you can get in touch - Contact the Branch Secretary Mark Brennan on 07780 975787 or come to the next monthly committee meeting, second Tuesday of each month starting at 19:30hrs in the RBL on George Street. What we have been up to lately - 28 June 13 the Branch Standard Bearer Lenny Davis represented the Branch at the daily act of remembrance at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium. 29 June 13, the Branch led on the Annual Armed Forces Day event at the war memorial. Joined by the Mayor Councillor Brian Lazenby and the Chairman of Babergh District council Mr Nick Ridley, members of the Armed forces, their families and supporters, the Armed Forces Day flag was raised and flown for a week to mark the occasion.

Zack is back – new Head Chef at The Bildeston Crown Zack Deakins is to be the new Head Chef at The Bildeston Crown, taking over from Chris Lee who has run the kitchens at this awardwinning Suffolk inn for almost ten years. Guests, however, will be forgiven, if both Zack and his food appear familiar. Although for the last 18 months, Zack has been head chef at Le Talbooth, prior to that he spent 3 years as Chris Lee’s senior sous chef. Before settling in Suffolk, Zack was a chef at Restaurant Martin Wishart, Edinburgh’s first MichelinL-R, Zack Deakins, James Buckle, starred restaurant and so he Chris Lee has the perfect credentials for taking over at the AA3 rosettes restaurant/hotel. The opportunity for Zack’s return came when Chris Lee and his wife Hayley decided that it was time for a new challenge, working with a consortium of investors rolling out a number of gastropubs in the region. Owner, local farmer and businessman, James Buckle is the first to recognise how important Chris Lee has been to The Bildeston Crown but is very optimistic about the opportunities a change at the top will bring: “Of course we are sad to see Chris and Hayley go. After 10 years they are quite simply family and as such, we have to appreciate their decision and the need for a new challenge. We wish them all the very best in the new enterprise.” In welcoming Zack back to The Bildeston Crown, James is equally emotional: “Zack is Chris’ natural successor. He always was. The only difference is that he now takes on the role having had the experience and responsibility of being a head chef. Zack knows the team, the culture, the values – in fact everything that makes The Bildeston Crown special. He is taking over at a very positive time and I am very excited about having him on board and watching him build on the achievements of the past but at the same time, very much making his own stamp on the business.” Zack is also delighted to be back. “Head Chef at The Bildeston Crown is quite simply my dream job and whilst I very much appreciate the experiences of the past 18 months, I know it will feel good to be back in the kitchens in Bildeston.” Zack starts at The Bildeston Crown on 14 August. Meanwhile, Alice Gibbons, who has been working with the inn in a consultancy capacity, is to join in the role of Hotel Manager and Izzy Lamble, who has been with The Bildeston Crown for the past nine years, has been promoted to Front of House manager.

My life at The Shelley Centre School’s out! And no doubt many of you will be looking forward to some time away. We at The Centre will have a quiet interval until our Riders return in September, just time for a breather, although work continues with the day to day needs of exercising the horses, field cleaning, maintenance etc. so never a lazy day, well that is, except for me; I can go into shutdown now until my Riders return, or just watch everyone else keeping busy. However, just before I nod off, I would like to come back to our Shelley Show which was held on 30th June. I was ecstatic when one of my Riders won a Cup, yes, Hannah Mitchell! This year she was nominated for a Certificate of Achievement in Riding Progress on me, Ebony, and was presented with my cup, 'The Ebony Cup', at the Shelley Show. My informant tells me that the next day the Cup was engraved with her name and she is photographed proudly holding it together with her rosettes. Just to fill you in a bit, Hannah started riding with us at Shelley in 2006, when she was 4 years old. As she was unable to sit up by herself, and had very poor control of her head, she rode on BABS initially, with a Helper sitting behind to support her (Back-riding is our term for it). She was delighted when I came to The Centre and makes her preference to ride me clearly known! Over the years her muscle tone and strength have improved and she is now able to ride me without a back rider, certainly at walk, and often at trot and canter as well. Hannah is a great lover of speed! She lives life to the full, joining in with all the family activities; she is an enthusiastic party goer, with a good sense of humour. She is able to communicate with an Eye-Gaze computer programme and delights in showing her teachers at school the 'joke of the day' when she gets in. A very big ‘Well done’ from me Hannah! A full set of results for the Shelley Show is posted on our Website. I know I feature in this one quite a bit but, as you will have read, Hannah’s development through riding has been remarkable and this story can oft be repeated in respect of many other of our Riders who attend The Centre. Well, moving on, I will remind everyone that it is soon time for The Long Distance Sponsored Ride; Sunday 15th September in fact. Please make your entries, or obtain sponsorship forms, from Maggie Rayner, email: maggierayner@hotmail.com so do come along and have an enjoyable day, with cakes and tea at the end. Your support in keeping The Centre running is important as can be seen with Hannah and how we have helped to change her life for the better. Well…..I think it’s time for me to power down, at least for a while. Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473 824172

I recently heard a song by Nickelback called “I want to be a Rock Star!” It’s a very popular song and all the young people just love it! It’s interesting to see what the song says about what “everyone” wants and needs now-a-days to be secure. It resonates with a lot of us because we’re all looking for security in this world, right? But do we really need “to trade this life for fortune and fame” to have security? Jesus was sort of the first Rock Star. For a time Jesus was very popular. Everyone knew Him and large crowds followed Him around, sometimes fighting just to get close to Him. He was called a “glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners” just because He wanted to hang out and talk with these people. The Bible says Jesus was the only Perfect man. Perhaps he could be thought of as the Perfect Rock Star, but he was also the Son of God! How cool is that? Being the Son of God, this Perfect Rock Star could have anything in the world! But do you know all this Perfect Rock Star really wants? YOU! Can you imagine – the King of the Universe, the Creator of the World, who could have anything His heart desires, really did trade this life for…YOU! Think about it. Kip Lutz

Barnardo’s 2013 House to House Collection Many thanks to everybody in Angel Street and Bell Mews, once again, for your donations to this year’s Barnardo’s House to House Collection. You very generously donated a total of £154.86, which I am pleased to say is an increase on last year’s collection. In addition, my grateful thanks to Millie and Andy Forbes for your assistance this year. Barnardo’s runs more than 800 vital projects across the UK and all contributions really do make a big difference. Last year, over 200,000 lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children, young people and families were transformed. Without your support, this work would not be possible so a big thank you from everyone at Barnardo’s. Well done! Sarah Loftus

Volunteers required to ensure successful Parent and Toddler group in Hadleigh continues to operate The Rise and Shine group is a successful parent and toddler group that has met weekly in Hadleigh for approximately 30 years. Until recently the group was run solely by volunteers in the local community. The group currently works in partnership with Brett River Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre, providing a friendly group for parents with children 0-5 years on a Monday morning 9.30-11.00am at The Ansell Centre during term time. The group is currently facilitated by Emma Humphrey, a local mother and experienced childcare practitioner. Emma works with staff from Brett River Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre to provide a range of activities, including dressing up, messy play, arts and crafts, story telling and safe area for babies and toddlers to explore a range of toys. Parents and carers are provided with teas and coffees and all children have the opportunity to enjoy a sociable, healthy snack time with their friends. Sadly, Emma will be stepping down from her position as group leader in September. The group is looking for enthusiastic, creative volunteers within the community to continue running the group in partnership with the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre. If you are interested in this role please contact Emma Humphrey at The Rise and Shine group or Sarah Cottage 01473 822580

Layham Playgroup We have been making the most of the wonderful weather recently by going on lots of trips to the local park. On our way down we had a look at a chat about everything we could see around us. Once at the park, we had great fun playing with all the balls that we had bought with our Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vouchers. Thank you to everyone who donated some vouchers, they have been used to buy not only the balls but also some eggs and spoons that we can use for racing. We hope to return to the park soon for some egg and spoon races as part of our end of term Stay and Play sessions. Goodbye and Good Luck! A special goodbye to all our children who are leaving us for Nursery and School, we will miss you all but wish you all the best for the future. We hope all our children have a safe and happy summer. We look forward to welcoming some new children to Playgroup in September. To celebrate the end of term we had a picnic in the park with all our Ladybirds children, families and carers. It was a lovely sunny morning and we all had a great time eating and playing in the park. Our Ladybirds sessions take place every Wednesday from 9.30am-11.00am, during term time. Please come and join us for lots of fun and friendly faces. If you are looking to creatively occupy your 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4yr old and would like an information pack or would like to arrange a visit, please contact us on 07999 866419 or email us at admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk So Much More Than a Dance Class No partners required Any age and ability very welcome

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Are you new to Layham? If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet. However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940.

Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Parish Council meeting of 26 June 2013 were: • Babergh DC report. Sue Wigglesworth, Babergh DC councillor, reported that Babergh and Mid Suffolk had won first prize in the ‘Shared Services’ category at the 2013 MJ Awards – the Chairman congratulated the staff on behalf of the Parish Council. • Neighbourhood Watch. It was agreed that the Chairman would try to recruit two more coordinators in Upper Layham. • Telephone boxes. It was agreed that a small working party would repaint the telephone box in Lower Layham during the coming months. • Accounts. The accounts for the year ended 31.3.13 had been internally audited and sent to BDO for external audit. • Emergency Planning. Work was progressing with developing a communications ‘tree’ and a draft Risk Assessment had been prepared. The Emergency Planning Officer was looking at how using social media – eg Twitter, Facebook – might be helpful in emergency planning. The working group continued to meet regularly. • Green Team report. It was agreed to invite Suffolk Wildlife Trust to a future PC meeting in order to explore potential new initiatives. Following a recent incident when a lorry had reversed into a car while emptying the bottle bank at the Recycling Centre, it was agreed that the Clerk would draft a note warning residents of the risk; she would also send a community email. • Community Lunch. The next Community Lunch would be held on Wednesday 24 July at 12 noon in The Queen’s Head – Ploughman’s Lunch, dessert and coffee for £5. • Babergh summer holiday activity provision. The PC had expressed an interest in having some activities for younger children during the summer holidays, and was awaiting a response from Babergh. • Closure of Post Office. As noted in the last issue, Layham’s community post office would close on Tuesday 30 July – it was agreed that the Clerk would contact the Post Office to see whether they would consider continuing the facility if someone wanted to take it over.

Stour Valley Project One day in June two ladies were spotted carrying out some sort of survey of the River Brett in Layham. They were Mary Moir (left) and Sally Bartrum (right – who used to live in Lower Layham) and they were pleased to explain what they were doing. The Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Stour Valley Project are currently working on a new 2 year project that focuses on enhancing the water quality and biodiversity of the River Stour and its tributaries. The project is a partnership project with the Environment Agency. 20

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

An important part of the project is to undertake a catchment wide walkover survey. This involves walking along the bank of the river and its main tributaries, the Rivers Brett, Box, Glem and the Stour, Chilton, Chad and Belchamp Brooks, and recording a variety of different features. This includes recording habitats in the river such as riffles, pools and vegetation, the dominant riverside habitat, potential pollution sources, non-native invasive plants and signs of protected species such as otter and water vole. The survey is also a brilliant opportunity to identify opportunities for river enhancement projects that will improve the river and riverside habitat for wildlife. The project is made possible through the help of a dedicated team of volunteers who undertake the walkover surveys. On the Brett and its tributaries some lovely sections of river have been found with signs of water vole and otter - both protected species. There are also some great in-channel and riverside habitats in the Brett valley that are very valuable for wildlife. Over the course of the project work will be done with landowners, land managers and a wide range of other organisations and individuals to tackle problems that are found and to create projects that improve the water quality and have lasting wildlife benefits. If anyone would like any further information about the project then please get in contact with Matt Holden (DVSVP River Stour Project Officer). Tel: 01473 264263 Email: matt.holden@suffolk.gov.uk

Layham Post Office Marian and Alan Hughes retired from running our village Post Office at the end of last month. Marian took responsibility for the venture but it was not long before Alan became involved and it was run as a shared enterprise. The service has been offered through their front door at 37 Brett Green and anyone who has used the service will recognise the picture of Marian and Alan framed by the hatchway and counter, built into their hallway, which has been a central part of their lives for 19 years. They have enjoyed providing and running the Community Post Office and would like to thank all their customers past and present for their support.

They took over the business from Jean Hynard (now Jean Herring) in 1994 and the second picture shows Jean and Marian together with Noel Herring, the official from Ipswich Head Office, who handled the transfer. Those of you who have lived here since before 1994 will know that the Post Office run by Jean Herring for 35 years, was built into the School House in Lower Layham. The third photograph shows a special Post Office doorway, next to the residence doorway, which has now been replaced by a dining room window. The purpose-built post box pillar is still there and the box is still in use. When Jean opened the Post Office in 1959 she took over from Arthur and Mildred Holmes who had run the business from Barton’s Cottage (just at the top of the hill at the beginning of Stoke Road). Sadly we have no photograph of that business – nor do we know how long it was run from there, although it is likely to have been most of the 1940s and 1950s. We do know, from the census of 1901 and the Kelly’s Directory of Suffolk of 1916, that a Post Office was run by subPostmaster William Smith between 1901 and 1916, from the cottage now known as Corner Cottage at the junction of Lower Street and Overbury Hall Road. The photograph must be dated between 1914 and 1918 as on the window shutter is a poster urging men to enlist to fight in the First World War. It

shows William Smith standing outside the building. It is interesting that in the census William is described both as an Ordinary Agricultural Labourer and a sub-Postmaster. It seems that running the Post Office may have been a parttime job. According to the memoirs of Jim Frisby, the mail deliveries were made by William’s brother James who lived in the cottage next door (now called Pump Cottage), using a bicycle with solid rubber tyres. There are other reported memories (November 2006 Pam Walker and Nigel Crisp in Letter from Layham) of William’s wife delivering letters on foot to addresses as far apart as Rands Farm, Hill Farm and the Rectory. Nigel Crisp records that the Post Office was located in that cottage through the 1920s and 1930s and finally closed in 1940. The earliest record of a Post Office in Layham is in the census of 1891 and Kelly’s Directory of Suffolk of 1892 when Bedford Groves, the village wheelwright, was also sub-Postmaster and ran his businesses from the house known as the Dower House opposite the Queen’s Head on Lower Street. On the same general subject, the 1861 census records one Enos Beer living on Upper Street employed as a Postal Messenger. In the 1891 census he appears as a Post Office Pensioner. Enos was married twice and had a total of twelve children – one of whom was named Edward and appears in the 1901 census, living on Upper Street and working as a Rural Postman. He, in turn, had a son Edward who at the age of 14 is working as a Telegraph Messenger for the Post Office. The delivery of messages seems to have been in their blood! What happens next? The Parish Council has written to the Post Office requesting consideration for continuing a Post Office presence in this village.

ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS Councillor Sheldrick raised concerns over the small green road name signs that have appeared on the new Durrant Park Estate. They have proved extremely difficult for the emergency services to read and therefore find properties they have been called to. The Clerk had contacted Babergh District Council and been advised that these were temporary road signs. The Clerk was asked to contact the Developer requesting that the signs be changed as soon as possible. Concerns were raised on the speed at which traffic comes from Bridge Street into the High Street, not allowing enough time for cars to turn right to the new Supermarket and also on the parking of cars along George Street which has increased greatly with the introduction of long stay parking charges. Councillor Byrne updated members on the work being carried out by the Chamber of Commerce, Hadleigh Society and Hands off Hadleigh Group in readiness for the Tesco Enquiry. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.11pm. Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Many thanks to all staff who helped and congratulations to all children who took part. Chocolatiers Beware! There was certainly competition for Hadleigh Maid during the last week of term when our Year 6 children performed their version of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. Despite excessive heat, the children were able to remain focussed and worked brilliantly as a team to present the hour and a half long performance to delighted audiences of adults and children. There was even a chocolate bar for every child in the school - some with golden tickets hidden inside! Well done to all of Year 6 for such a polished performance!

Hadleigh Evening WI At the July meeting Hadleigh Evening WI, members brought their treasures for assessment by antiques expert Barrie Stephenson. By examining a hallmark he was able to confirm a little bonbon dish was pure silver. A picture of a family home he first thought was a print turned out to be original. He was able to date two examples of Clarice Cliff pottery but not an exquisitely hand painted ginger type jar from Portugal. One unusual item was a procession of elephants carved from one tusk. His favourite piece was Josie Budd’s tiny porcelain tea cup circa 1770. Hadleigh Evening members prepared a delicious lunch for their garden party held at the Hadleigh Guildhall. They were joined by Federation Chairman Hilda Jackson and twenty guests from local WIs. Carole Cranston provided some beautiful flower arrangements used for the tables and then prizes for Joan Rudman’s raffle. Philippa Carruthers compiled a quiz for a bit of fun and to activate the brain cells! Maraday Robinson arranged an outing to Norfolk taking in a clothing store followed by a pub lunch and in the afternoon a visit to Peter Beale's garden centre famous for their roses that were in full bloom that day. There will be no meeting in August but some members will be going on an outing to Kensington Palace which will soon provide a home for the Cambridge’s “Wills and Kate” and their new baby. Our next meeting will be in the Seminar suite above Hadleigh library on Tuesday 17th September starting 7.30pm. Marion Collis will demonstrate making dolls.

Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who attended our most recent celebration assembly. The children have achieved so much, both in and out of school. It is lovely to celebrate children’s sporting and musical achievements. There were football trophies, swimming certificates, music gradings and horse competition rosettes amongst many other awards. Also, well done to all the children for their effort and academic progress in school. Our summer fete was a huge success this year, raising over £2000 towards new play equipment for the school. Everybody had lots of fun and we were so lucky with the beautiful weather! Thanks to the children who sang or played instruments at the opening ceremony. The children enjoyed Punch and Judy, pony rides, the bungee run and visiting the tractor. We were very grateful to have the fire engine and water game, which brought some relief from the hot sun! Also, we were well entertained by the majorettes and the dog displays and competitions run by the Gipping and District Dog club. Lots of children participated in a football tournament run by Leon Hall and three young leaders from KUDOS. We think it was a record attendance and the barbeque proved very popular! Special thanks go to all the parents who helped to organise and run the event as well as all the staff members who helped on the day. Oak class have been learning about castles this term. We consolidated our learning with a visit to Hedingham castle. The children loved seeing the castle dungeon and the banqueting hall and the toilets! They tried on different parts of a knight’s armour and recognised the arrow slits in the castle walls. We enjoyed a talk from a medieval archer who told them all about what life inside a castle was like; he showed them lots of different arrows that had different uses. The children were fascinated to learn that knights used to train using a wooden sword and they started training when they were just seven years old. It was a really fun day with lots of excellent learning opportunities. It is time to say goodbye to a wonderful Year 6 group. They have worked so hard and we are proud of their progress. Also, they set a great example to the rest of the school as reliable and responsible members of the school. The whole school attended the Leavers’ Service at St Mary’s Church. Thanks to the Very Reverend Martin Thrower for giving an excellent talk about the steps children make on their journey through life, and the fact that they are not alone along the way but can rely on the support of friends, family and their faith. Afterwards, they had a lovely time celebrating the end of the year at a special barbeque along with their invited guests. We wish all the Year 6s lots of luck for the future and hope to see you again soon! We hope all the children have a lovely, safe summer holiday and we look forward to hearing about your exciting summer adventures in September!

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.net Website: www.hadleighhigh.net The 11th National Student Art Exhibition On Tuesday, 9th July ‘The National Students’ Art Exhibition’ was held in the Mall Galleries in London. Thousands of students across the UK entered 350 chosen to exhibit their work at this prestigious event. One of these talented students included Boris Takam from Year 9. The exhibition features the best young artists in the country- it was a truly exceptional and inspirational exhibition. Well done Boris! “My work made it to the exhibition, so I had to go to London with my Art teacher, my mother and a friend. There was a massive crowd in the museum and they all had a good reason to be excited, as all the work was fabulous. I’ve learnt that I need to work on a larger scale. This experience was brilliant and the atmosphere was electric. I had so much fun that I didn’t notice the time passing and I had lots of new ideas and inspiration for future years.” Induction Day On Friday 5th July Year 6 pupils from Beaumont, Hadleigh Community Primary, St Mary’s, Hintlesham, Bildeston, Whatfield, Elmsett and Kersey participated in various subjects such as MFL, Sports, Maths and Foodtech. The Year 6 groups that were involved in Maths with Mr Lloyd participated in a treasure hunt and were required to use skills such as communication, co-operation and mathematical skills to solve the code of the treasure chest. The Year 6 groups managed to find a code but unfortunately not the correct one and to their disappointment they missed out on golden treasure which to any child, is chocolate. Mr Lloyd said: “The year 6’s were very keen to learn and worked well with each other.” The Year 6 groups that were with Miss Burnyeat decorated cupcakes and designed packaging for them; they were then able to take them home. One Year 6 pupil commented, “It was cool and they were really yummy”. The Year 6 pupils are very excited to be joining the High School in September. The Year 7 Robot Exhibition on the 22nd July Recently the Year 7’s have been extremely creative in Art, designing and making clay robots. They had to put their ideas down on paper before bringing their plans to life in clay. The exhibition was held on the evening of 22nd July. We asked one of the students what their experience was like and they stated: “It was really fun and it was great being able to design your own creation because there are no limits to it!” Year 10’s Photos get recognition Recently, Molly Grimsey (Year 10) participated in a Photography competition called ‘Snap’. She sent in 10 photographs and received certificates for 2. Around 60 students entered the competition, most from Suffolk One. Only 20 got certificates, so well done Molly! These were her thoughts on her experience: “I feel that overall I did very well for my age. The lady handing out the certificates commented on how beautiful my photos were- I felt honoured. I’ve learnt so much from this experience. Most of my photos didn’t have much meaning behind them, but were well captured. However, many of the other competitors had lots of meaning behind them and inspired me.” Next year, Molly will be running her own photography competition for the school and any student will be able to enter. Get snapping! Report of the day for Budding Journalists On the 25th of June, six Year 9 pupils from Hadleigh High took part in a Journalism day at the High school. Year 4 pupils came up to the high school to take part in a French day. The day consisted of many taking part in activities around different subject areas. In History, they were learning about French speaking countries and why they speak French. They also decorated cupcakes in Food Technology and made labels for them in Textiles. They had a simplified French lesson and French activities on the computers. The Headteacher of Hadleigh High, Mrs Gibson, shared her opinion of the day: “I think it is great for younger children to see the 28

Telephone Community News on 01473 823366

school in action and to meet older children. They can also have educational experiences using the secondary facilities that they wouldn’t normally get to use.” Whilst this was happening, the Year 9 pupils were writing a news report on the events of the day for the Year 4’s to take home. It was an intense day as the report had a deadline for the end of the day. The year 9 pupils learnt how to be independent, and it gave them a chance to use leadership skills that will come in useful in the future. It also gave them a taste of journalism. The end result was well received. An extract: Forging Friendships New friendships were formed at break and lunch when children from different schools were spotted playing tag with each other. Contented and happy with their new friends and different surroundings pupils from all schools interacted enthusiastically together and joined forces in a mass celebration of break time. Hopefully, these new found friendships will continue and when they join high school it won’t be as much of a change. All the children got very involved in the activities and were communicating well and with the teachers. They were very well behaved and we are looking forward to seeing them in a few years.

Forging Links with Suffolk One – taster sessions and a Master Class Year 10’s recently spent a day experiencing some post 16 education at the nearest sixth form college – Suffolk One. The day was spent undergoing shortened versions of lessons that can be taken at A level in a bid to help them understand more clearly some of the opportunities on offer to them when they leave Hadleigh. Further to this, a number of Year 10 students were also recently selected to visit One to participate in a Geography Master Class. It was an afternoon designed to improve exam techniques. They also had a chance to get an idea of the many jobs that involved geography and talk to some Year 12 students who were coming to the end of their first year. They all agreed that they gained a lot from this informative afternoon. Year 10 get a taste of the World of Work From Monday the 17th of June to Friday the 28th of June, Year 10 students were not in school, instead they were at their work placements to carry out their Work Experience. This allowed them to experience working environments and also allowed them to understand what certain jobs entail. Many of the Year 10’s thought it was a great experience and that it changed the way they viewed certain jobs. As well as this, work experience allowed them to apply key skills that will be vital in the workplace in the future, such as communication and organisation, as well as helping them develop their confidence. Duke of Edinburgh- From Bronze to Silver 34 Year 9s have recently started working towards the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. They have completed their training weekend which was full of hard work and required real commitment. They are now

looking forward to their next expedition. In Year 10, a staggering 47 students have now completed the Bronze Award. This is in fact a county record! Phil Brown (a former English footballer and current manager of Southend United) is coming into school to present the Bronze award to the Year 10’s. Some of the students that completed the Bronze Award are advancing to the Silver Award. This is what one of the students who completed the Bronze thought. “I am so pleased I completed the Bronze Award because I’ve learnt so much. The qualifying expedition was physically challenging but I pushed myself to the limit. I am now starting my Silver Duke of Edinburgh. It’s going to be a huge commitment, but it’s so rewarding! “

Children’s Day Nursery 5 Reasons why Birch Farm is Best for your child

Creative Writing Workshop On Tuesday 9th July, 10 students from Hadleigh feeder primary schools came to Hadleigh High in order to participate in a Creative Writing Workshop led by the Year 10 English prefects. The Year 10 students had previously taken part in a workshop run by Mrs Dawson, and so this was their turn to present to the younger pupils. Each prefect had been given a section of the workshop to lead. Lots of the tasks involved focusing on different types of creative writing and poetry and all involved enjoyed the day immensely. The younger pupils were very enthusiastic and composed exceptional pieces of writing.

• Impressive indoor/outdoor facilities: spacious classrooms, playgrounds, two indoor play areas, countryside for nature walks, indoor heated swimming pool

The Prom This year’s Prom was an overwhelming night that over 120 students and 30 staff got to enjoy. Without a doubt, there was a large variety of unique and creative arrivals – including a Ferrari, a digger, stretch limos and even a helicopter! Year 11 Form Tutor,Miss Clarke, commented, “All the students were beautifully dressed and everyone had a great time. It will be a night to remember by all.” The prom was voted “Best dressed Prom” in our history. The Prom committee worked really hard, and it really paid off. The Prom was the last time that the Year 11’s would all have the opportunity to get together. We all wish them luck in whatever they end up doing in the future.

• Highly qualified, dedicated staff working with high adult to child ratios

Goodbye Year 10 Community News Team As we say hello to the Year 9’s, we have to wave goodbye to the Year 10’s. As a Year 10 myself, I have really enjoyed being on the Community News Team. It has been a lot of fun, and I probably most enjoyed walking around the school combing for interviews! Mrs Reader said:“This year’s Community News Team have been a real pleasure to work with. They have been enthusiastic, committed and totally reliable. I appreciate all the hard work they have put in over the last year.” The new team As a final comment, good luck Year 9, as it will be a challenge at times, and goodbye from the Year 10’s. We will miss being on the team!

Hadleigh Community Choir’s Summer Concert on Saturday 6th July in Hadleigh Baptist Church raised £112 for the Families in Need charity, and made a profit that will ensure the choir ’s financial stability through to the end of 2013. The unique mix of summer-themed music and song, readings and audience participation followed by an afterglow and luxury prize draw supported by Adnams, The Ram, Tessitori and Morrisons ensured that this was our best concert yet. Not too bad for a choir that was officially launched just over a year ago. Hadleigh Community Choir continues to go from strength to strength and is once again proud to be providing the choral music and performance pieces at Hadleigh Town Mayor’s Civic Service at St Mary’s church Hadleigh on the 22nd of September this year. We have also booked our Christmas Concert for the 7th December 2013 at Hadleigh Baptist Church. During August the choir will be taking a well-earned rest but on September 5th we restart the autumn session of rehearsals at the United Reform Church in Hadleigh on Thursday evenings at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm. If you would like to join us you will be very welcome. The aim of the choir is to give public performances of light and popular music to the highest standard possible, while at the same time creating a friendly and supportive environment for everybody associated with the choir. Performances are given to raise funds for charity and to help local organisations. If you would like to know more about us Google ‘Hadleigh Community Choir Suffolk’ for the link to our website or call Peter on 01473 824033. When we reconvene in September we will be welcoming Andrea King as our Musical Director for the period leading up and including our Christmas concert. Simon Thompson our current Musical Director has had to stand down due to work commitments but will be working with Andrea and the choir as Assistant Musical Director. Graham Holmes our highly acclaimed accompanist will of course continue to work with Andrea, Simon and the choir, helping us to achieve our aim of being a fun and entertaining choir that Hadleigh and our members can be proud of. Peter Finch, Choir Organiser

The blossom on our old fruit trees has been quite spectacular this year, so we are looking forward to a bumper crop. To celebrate this harvest we are inviting everyone to our second Open Day, incorporating our Plum and Cobnut Festival, to be held on Saturday August 17, 11am to 5pm. Once again, we will have representatives from the Suffolk Traditional Orchards Group to help you identify your own varieties, and give you advice on cultivation and cooking. There will be plenty to see even if you do not have a specific interest in plums or nuts, and all are warmly invited to our lovingly renovated barn. More information is available on our website www.orchardbarn.org.uk Parking is limited, so do try and share transport, or come by bicycle. If you would like a lift, or can offer one, please contact Sarah at sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk or 01473-658193/ 07766-054042. If you are not able to attend our Open Day, but would like a guided tour of Orchard Barn, we are offering tours on 2 dates in September - 4pm on Thursday 12th and 2pm on Saturday 14th. These are part of the Green Suffolk Heritage Open Days. Please book your place with Jonas Grist (Suffolk County Council) on 01473 264832 We recently attended the Ringshall Medieval Fete, on a lovely sunny Saturday, and held one of our series of community workshops working with coppiced wood. Our tutors Helen and Roger made sure that everyone who wanted to have a go, including some children, was given expert guidance, and by the end of the day we had various pieces of tree beautifully shaped into individual pieces to form legs or back supports for our benches. The photo shows one bench formed from leftover oak, with the back being a piece of cherry plum pruned from our orchard, the legs elm and the support a piece of coppiced hazel. We are continuing our Wednesday volunteer workdays, with occasional Saturdays, and high summer will be a lovely time to experience our site. If you are interested in doing practical work in a beautiful environment do get in touch, even if you have no previous experience. Contact Sarah at sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk or 01473-658193/ 07766054042 More information on all events and courses can be found on our website www.orchardbarn.org.uk

Poets Corner True Supermen True Supermen always put other first, it is their way. To do good things each and every day. Lifeboat men, performing heroic feats. Policemen, endlessly patrolling our streets. Ambulance men, racing to keep you alive. Surgeons skill, helping people to survive. Army, Navy, Air force, putting their lives on the line. Firemen, rescuing and fighting blazes all the time. Doctors tending the sick, without a break. For you, for us, for all our sake. So you see, not all Supermen wear tights, with pant on the outside. True Supermen, have dedication and kindness in the hearts and they do it all with pride. Maybe you have a Superman, in your very own family. How very chuffed and proud you must be.

Glenn Abbassi has recently returned from the D-Day Challenge bike for MAG - Mines Advisory Group which clears landmines and destroys weapons in conflict areas around the world. She rode a distance of 560km, 350 miles. Along with 11 others, only one female of much younger vintage - in fact Glenn was the oldest in the group - they set off on 18th June, cycling from Chessington to Portsmouth (the North Downs defeated her and much walking was involved!) crossed to Caen on the ferry, then cycled through Normandy to Paris. 10 dedicated male cyclists, all with the gear and gears! Proper bikes, not like Glenn's old bone-shaker! The average distance covered each day was 75 miles, one day it was fewer, one day it was 90. On the way they visited Sword, Juno and Gold beaches, Arromanches, heart of the Normandy landings, Pegasus Bridge, where the first house to be liberated from the Germans still stands, and the Falaise Gap which was the site of a crucial battle in August 1944, D-Day itself of course being the 6th June 1944. Every day Glenn cycled on her own, as the men were literally miles ahead, and occasionally she arrived at the lunch stop to find only the left-overs! There were an incredible number of hills, all of which were insurmountable by her, and it was a challenge in itself to wheel the bike for some considerably long distances. The group arrived in Paris amid much traffic, in their red MAG t-shirts, so that they could cycle together to the Eiffel Tower. It was an extremely challenging event, and although Glenn was determined to do it, and had the stamina, she also knew that some of the men felt the odds were stacked against her - female, old, poor bike, no training. The pre-trip info said training should be built up over 20 weeks, but Glenn's training consisted of ten minutes on the bike at the gym, and pootling around Hadleigh, which hardly stood her in good stead for 560 km. However, now that she can honestly say that she has completed the ride, she is hoping for kind and generous friends and colleagues to sponsor her, in support of the vital work which MAG does. She has a justgiving page - look under 'Friends' for her name, and will gratefully acknowledge all contributions.

Towards the Deep End The past month has been a mixed bag of nice things and not so nice things. First up was the inaugural meeting of Babergh & Mid Suffolk’s Joint Audit & Standards Committee meeting earlier this month. Both Councils are independent and sovereign. They still keep their individual audit & standards committees but for those areas where there is an overlap we have the Joint Committee. One of the Committee’s immediate duties was to approve the Terms of Reference. These were amended to include the function: To peruse, review and comment upon the non salary related expenses of the officers of the joint councils. The first report to the Committee on this matter is due in September. At County it is reported that 330 young people have registered to receive The Endeavour Card which entitles young persons (16 - 19 y.o.) to receive a 25% discount on their bus travel. The scheme comes into operation during the late Autumn. Regrettably it would appear that Beestons are missing from the names of bus operators participating in the scheme - so Hadleigh youth will be disadvantaged in this respect. Hopefully Beestons will sign up before the Autumn. I’m pleased to report that (as indicated elsewhere) I have allocated £500 from the Community Locality Budget to the Chamber of Commerce to provide 25,000 Loyalty Cards which should cover their needs for the rest of the year and perhaps a little while beyond. I understand that the Town Council have also donated £100 to the project. Supporting the local retail community is very important to all of us and I’m pleased to provide firm practical assistance instead of just talking about issues and seeking photo opportunities. One of Hadleigh’s lesser well known treasures is the Row Chapel which holds an important place in Hadleigh's history. The Chapel predates the Reformation and witnessed the journey of Rowland Taylor’s martyrdom in 1555. He gave his last coins to the folk in the alms houses as he was led up George Street to Aldham Common. Originally the chapel was intended for those who lived in the alms houses, but now the congregation comes from all parts of Hadleigh with occasional tourists from further afield. The chapel is open for services on Tuesday using the Book of Common Prayer. Its governing committee is intent on restoring the 500+ year old Chapel so that it properly reflects its important place in Hadleigh's history. They are committed to showcasing local suppliers, artisans and craftsmen. The committee have raised £600 towards re-painting the internal plasterwork, installing custom made cushions and replacing the old carpet. The organ also needs some restoration. I have committed £550 from the Community Locality Budget to assist their endeavours.

Kersey Mill Newsletter Whilst we have been looking at the people and workings of the mill there has been another element of the site that we have not over looked yet not mentioned – the wildlife around the mill. As the summer open day was taking place many feet above a pair of Kestrels were busy feeding their chicks. There are two, perhaps three, perching high up on the side of the mill above the entrance. It was a delight to watch from the garden below as each parent raced to feed the hungry and very vocal brood. On the river the swans were having a testing time with their small clutch of cygnets determined to seek out every type of adventure to be had whilst their mum and dad struggled to keep them from danger. Whilst this was unfolding the lone kingfisher flitted along the surface of the slow ambling river – occasionally diving into the water to capture a little minnow for lunch. A pair of little dippers make their way slowly up and down the river bank bobbing as they go in the dappled shade alongside the many dragon flies courting and mating above the reeds and lily pads gently swaying in the breeze. As the donkey from the days event plods around the meadow a cheeky vole pops up to have a look at the crowds before nipping back into the water closely flowed by a grass snake looking for supper. There is a brief struggle as the vole is entwined in the snakes coil before a final dash for freedom sees the snake without supper. The swifts screech high overhead as they swoop ever closer to the roof of the mill and the house martins skim the surrounding fields for food on the wing – their natural take away. In the distance is a peacock calling that is echoed by the call of the buzzard cruising high above on the thermals created by the hot summer sun. So next time you visit the mill just stop for a minute to watch the other world as its occupants make their way about their everyday life as we rush around in ours. The day is the 30th June and the family and volunteers spent days getting ready for the grand open day at the mill. Last minute preparations are in place and the staff from other venues on site start to arrive before all the days guests do. Then the exhibitors of the vintage vehicles and static engines start to arrive as do the vintage motorcycles. A sense of excitement builds in the minds of those standing to greet the guests for the day. Within no time at all there is a small trickle of eager visitors all wanting to see what has been going on at the mill since the last open day. Children race towards the bouncy castle and games whilst adults wander around the vintage cars, motorcycles and tractors with eyes of memories and of ‘I wish’ as they steal a look at the interior of one of the many beauties on display. Chris and Bill capture people’s imagination with tales of the workings of the mill and how – one day with help from as many as possible – it will be working once more. A local model maker, Richard Webb, brought along a model of a working mill that delighted guests young and old as it whirled into action and the miniature sacks of grain are pulled to the top floor of the model. In the meadow there flows the distinct sound of the static vintage engines accompanied now and then by the shrills of delight as another child has a donkey ride on Snowy or Tiger along the banks of the river meadow and through the middle meadow. There were displays of dancing, martial arts, tug-o-war, golf and football as well as the bouncy castle for families and friends whilst young and in love couples could visit the Venue for weddings and meet a great many people offering services for the big day from catering to the ring, cakes to the photographer. All the units on site were open too so that guests could see what the complex has to offer visitors. From the art gallery came the prize of the day – a painting of the waterwheel sold for £280 and added to a very generous £1009 raised towards the restoration of the mill. It has been discovered that there are 15 buckets that will need replacing at a cost of £3200 in Corten Steel before the cost of fixing them to the repaired wooden wheel. To date we have five people who have sponsored a new wooden tooth for the wheel and we hope many more people will come forward to buy a tooth for a special birthday, events, place or – dare we mention – Christmas. What a gift that would be two fold. The first for generations to come to enjoy the mill once more working and the joy of someone knowing a sponsored tooth is part of that. As the day drew to a close plans were being made for the next bigger open day at t’mill – so keep your eyes peeled for more information and thank you for reading. Allan Scott-Davies

Robert George Ward

HADLEIGH CAR WASH

I came across the following extract recently and felt it deserved a wider audience. The author was a battle hardened professional soldier and it came as a surprise to see him waxing lyrical. Robert, born 1890 was my father’s cousin, he joined the Grenadier Guards in 1908. Landed in France 12 August 1914 and by the end of the year; following the retreat from Mons and the 1st Battle of Ypres was one of only 100 or so men in the battalion remaining out of the 1000 that arrived that August. Wounded in the leg at the battle of Loos (Oct 1915) he returned to his regiment Aug. 1916. He was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry towards the end of 1917, probably at Cambria, but no citation exists. His luck finally ran out on 26th May 1918 when he was killed in action. His home was 1 Gallows Hill, Hadleigh. Three of his brothers also served:- Henry, also a regular soldier, in the Lancers, survived the war. Frederick and Ernest with the 5th Suffolk, both went to Gallipoli and were involved in the terrible events of the 12th August 1915. Ernest was presumed killed and has no known grave. Fred survived but was evacuated suffering from shell shock. He later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. Pictured is a photo of Robert taken in France, 1917. He comes across as a self confident man at ease with himself. Jeff Ward Extract from Essex and Suffolk Free Press, 16th May 1917 Sergeant R.G. Ward, Machine Gun Section, Grenadier Guard, writes “I am enjoying the best of health and also the lovely sunshine, which has brought about such a wonderful change in nature. I know the interest you take in this subject and read your notes in the Essex and Suffolk News weekly. It is the coming of spring that has set me writing for, as a country lad, I love the sunshine and all that it brings with it. We were walking through shell swept woods which until now were the picture of desolation, and looked as if nothing could ever live in them again, yet all the devastation to trees and ground has not prevented the flowers from coming through the earth in their proper season to show us that even they are cared for. Cowslips, Violets, and Anemones abound everywhere and shed brightness and cheerfulness around, while the joyous songs of the birds gladen our hearts. There are all sorts of birds here and they sing, whistle and chirp from dawn until dusk and seem happy to think that the Hun has gone. The Magpies are very busy nesting and they carry on their weird noises to such an extent as to get on ones nerves, I have heard the cuckoo upon several occasions. As I sit and listen to all the different notes of the birds, and the buzz in the air and watch the labour that is going on it brings back to my mind the good old days when I use to hear those familiar sounds about the old home. Ah! How I long to get back amongst them once more! I saw something interesting today. In the part of the broken woodwork of a bridge that had been blown up during the great battle last year and afterwards repaired, I watched a pair of very pretty birds hard at work in a crevice about a foot above the water. I reached the place with great difficulty and found one of the prettiest nest imaginable. It was made of moss and hair. The birds had black head, white wings and grey bodies and tails with a few spots of yellow. They were the first of their kind that I had ever seen, if you could enlighten me their name I should be very pleased, for though I have a lot of other things to do I still take a great interest in natural history. Well, so much for the beauty’s of spring. The one great drawback it has brought with it is the countless number of flies and other insects that infest this area, they bite and sting so that there is no rest during the day. I hope this war will soon be over. Progress is being made on every front.”

AN UNLIKELY BOX OFFICE HIT FROM FRANCE!

Friday 23rd August at 7.30pm

UNTOUCHABLE (15) After THE ARTIST, screened here last year, comes UNTOUCHABLE, an unlikely French comedy drama based on a true story about the friendship between two men which developed following a millionaire's paragliding accident. This film has yet to receive a full UK showing so we are delighted to redress this situation - here in Hadleigh! The story is simple: Philippe is a rich quadriplegic who, with his assistant Magalie, are interviewing candidates for a live-in carer. Driss is a candidate who has little ambition for the post when he learns that he must provide care on a 24 hour basis. A friend of Philippe's also reveals that Driss has a criminal record for robbery. To his surprise, Driss is offered the position, and then starts an unlikely partnership with Philippe encouraging Driss to discover the delights of modern art, opera and even painting while Driss opens Philippe’s eyes to new worlds of pot smoking and soul music. UNTOUCHABLE is both heartbreaking and, at times, very funny as the two men discover that they both have disadvantages in life – one physical, the other socioeconomic. The film's title may puzzle – it is the way that society makes disabled people invisible or “untouchable". It is incredible, but this film has grossed more revenue for the producers than either the Artist, or in some countries than blockbusters such as Harry Potter! Enjoy this rather special screening, which will be shown with English subtitles, in the Ansell Centre – home of good film entertainment. You will have to wait for some while before the English language remake starring Colin Firth is released. As always our evening contains a break for refreshments – choc ices and tea and coffee.

CONTACTING THE ACC Call Tom on 823719 or Jan on 823413 Take a look at our website - www.ansellcc.org.uk WHERE IS THE ANSELL CENTRE? It is next to the United Reformed Church and behind the Ram Public House in Market Place. Access is through the church garden. 38

Private hearing care clinic to be recognised by Apprentice star Karren Brady The founder of Suffolk-based Hearing Care Centre has beaten hundreds of other companies to be shortlisted din the Nectar Small Business awards. Karen Finch is just weeks away from the final of the Entrepreneur of the Year category which is judged by a panel of experts including iconic businesswoman and start of BBC 1’s “The Apprentice”, Karren Brady.

One-in-six people suffer from hearing loss and we are so grateful to be able to offer our services to not only the older generation but to the young generation too. Attending the round table and being able to get first hand advice from the likes of Karren Brady about my business would be really valuable in taking us to the next level. The £2,000 prize money and 50,000 Nectar points will be used to produce a range of products to ensure the company’s future provides job security for its employees.” The Hearing Care Centre will now be judged by a panel of business experts, including Karren Brady, Nectar Marketing Director, James Frost, Brakes Marketing Director, David Hughes and Chris Li, founder of Luxury For Less and winner of the Nectar Business Small Business of the Year Award 2012. “The standard of entries into the Nectar Business Small Business Awards has been exceptionally high this year and with an 80% increase in the number of entries, competition is clearly fierce.

This summer term the children have been busy watching the beans, courgettes and sweet peas grow. Our theme has been about zoo animals and going on safari, also the beach and under the sea. We would like to say thank you to the Co-op (Kingsbury’s) for their £50 donation and also Mr Crutchfield and Suffolk County Council for their donation at the beginning of the year. It’s that time of year again when we say farewell to the children that are moving on to school/nursery, and hope that they all settle into their new nursery/school quickly. Also we are saying farewell to Megan and Kelly and wish you both well, but welcome Kayleigh and Sarah onto our team. We have recently purchased a playhouse for the garden, and I would like to say a big thank you to Will and his friend for taking the time to build the house ready for the children to play in.

Fidelis Activity News Kersey Mill: If ever anyone deserves a gong it is Steve de Lara Bell for taking on the monumental challenge of restoring Kersey Mill. The last time this unique mechanical masterpiece functioned was in 1929. Since then it has been stripped of its roof, vandalised, soaked and totally abandoned. It was in this advance stage of neglect that Steve & his wife, Alison, bought the Kersey Mill complex. The Fidelis visit started with light refreshments at the Little Treats Bakery which is one of the commercial outlets and then the group moved on to view the Mill itself. The scale of the long overdue restoration is mind blowing but happily, all is not lost as a team of dedicated volunteers are on the case, painstakingly and successfully working on the building and the intricate mechanics inside; the enormous water wheel can now be turned, manually. Funding is vital to the project so they are also fundraising like mad to sustain the restoration programme. The group then toured the rest of the complex and ended their visit with a glass of bubbly and strawberries, courtesy of Amanda Hart, the enthusiastic, proud owner of the Revival Exchange. This delightful 'boudoir' boutique with its bijou garden quickly endeared itself to the visitors and was a relaxing way to end a most interesting afternoon. Hill Farm: On arrival it looks like any other arable farm in Essex but nothing could be further from the truth. True the crops and distinctive bands of meadow are in all there but it’s not until you go into the barns that another unique harvest becomes apparent. While other farmers boast hundreds of heads of cattle or acres of cereals, farm owner, Ashley Cooper’s land has yielded hundreds of Roman artefacts. These first came to light when Ashley’s father was deep ploughing to help feed post-war Britain. Members were then totally absorbed in the history of the farm, & the excavations which also revealed compelling evidence of a large Roman villa with a craft centre on the site. Revenue from the crops and the government’s meadow scheme help finance the ongoing educational programme. After a comprehensive tour of the farm, Ashley accompanied the ladies to the church at Gestingthorpe for a final tour. The outing ended with a delicious meal at The Pheasant pub nearby. AGM & Summer Buffet: Flower power, Mary Quant minis, bouffant hairdo's, net petticoats and a photo display of members in the 60's were all there at the Fidelis AGM. The AGM was very much in present but once the business had been dealt and the delicious summer buffet, by Chaplin Catering, consumed, the evening took on a retro party feel. Musician, Phil Jackson, quickly gauged the mood of the 60's clad party goers and it wasn't long before everyone was on their feet reworking those old dances. Well known routines were enthusiastically, sometimes sentimentally, accompanied by even more familiar songs. At the end of the evening the weary members, still sporting their trendy outfits, left the swinging 60’s venue for the reality of home & a well earned rest. Thanks to Kate Bailey the evening is indelibly burned on the first Fidelis CD. Jan Devey

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts This column is being written about 60% through July with an official Heat Wave declared. I do not think we have had any significant rain at all in July, and the weather forecasts are suggesting that we should not expect any in the next few days. As a result of this situation a lot of plants are suffering, and although we have not got a hosepipe ban it is impossible, and possibly antisocial to use too much water on the garden even if you are paying for it on a meter. At the moment I am watering my vegetables, particularly those like beans that need a lot of water, my soft fruit which is ripening nicely, and a few plants that I like, but probably did not ought to be growing in East Anglia where we can not rely on enough rain to keep soil moist. One can help by mulching with bark, but if you do this make sure the soil is wet before you put the bark down. Hadleigh Open Gardens Day has come and gone. It raised over ÂŁ1000 for the Friends of St Mary's who help with the repair costs of our magnificent church. Seventeen gardens were open, and I managed to visit 11 of them. It would be invidious to nominate a best garden, because gardens are a personal thing and represent what the owner wants for him or her self rather than be planted to satisfy the visitor. I enjoyed all the gardens that I visited, and was particularly impressed with a few of the "features". The timing of the day virtually guaranteed that there would be good displays of roses, but I was surprised at the number of good paeonies that I saw. At 48 George Street tall grasses had been used in a novel and effective way to define an avenue down a lawn. Several of the small gardens were interesting. At New Coram Long Bessels a pleasant enclosed garden has been created with practically everything growing in pots because the previous history of the site meant that the soil was really unusable. Both Hilary Griffin and Tina Haines need congratulating for creating charming gardens in a tiny amount of space. Finally I never thought that I would ever find artificial grass acceptable in a garden, but Roger Young's use of it on the flat roof of his garage which has been built into the slope of his steep garden did seem quite acceptable. He is also collecting the water draining off of it. Weather Records In June at Kersey there were 20.3 mm (0.8") of rain, which is very low, and it all fell after the 11th of the month. In fact that is only 1/4 of what we had in June last year. Th3 3 month figure was 85.5 mm (3.4") which is about 1/2 of the average. I know last year was wet, but this is only 35 % of what we had in the same 3 months last year. In June the maximum temperature was 25 Cel (77F), which is quite typical. The minimum temperature for June was 6 Cel (43F) which is again quite normal. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 20 Cel (68F), which equals the highest value that I had previously recorded which was in June 2006.

One hopes that the weather will be beautiful, and one can simply cut the lawns, start to pick some apples and enjoy the garden. It is too late to sow seeds of many things, but there are a few seeds that one can sow if they appeal to you. Amongst the vegetables there are three groups that can be sown :(a) Root vegetables like winter radish and turnips. These will easily grow big enough to eat during the Winter. (b) Spring cabbage to eat as Spring greens or heads ahead of Greyhound in the Spring. (c) Chinese vegetables which grow very quickly and run to seed if you plant them too early. In this group I am including things like Chinese cabbage, Pak Choi, and Mizuna. With good weather these will last up to December. Dead head flowering plants. This not only keeps them looking good, but it encourages them to produce more flowers. If you like large blooms it is worth pinching out some of the side buds on dahlias, and on varieties of hybrid tea roses that tend to produce bunches of smaller flowers rather than nice big ones at the end of the season. Hedges have been growing and most will need a trim in August. I hope that the Summer weather continues, but we also get a worthwhile amount of rain too many plants in my garden are really suffering.

Dear Sir Suddenly it seems like Hadleigh is getting cracking! Scaffolding has gone at last from Sydney Brown Court (I’d begun to think it had become permanent!), new management/makeovers at The Ram and The White Hart (also Kersey Bell, I believe), new eateries (Angel Delights and Tessitori). In my retirement I’m looking forward to gradually trying-out all the new, as well as established, centres of hospitality (Sydney Brown Court excluded for the time being!). Good luck to all the new ventures. I wonder when we can expect to see the replacement tree in the Market Place.... Paul Burley

Dear Sir On Thursday 27th June 2013 I was invited to attend Hadleigh High School to be part of the Enrichment Week and judge the work that had been carried out by the students. The Formula One Theme given to the students had fired their imaginations. T-shirts had been designed, one of which I am the proud owner of. Cakes in the shape of cars were made all to entice the judges to become sponsors of their product. On display were racing tracks, simulated aero-dynamics with a fan and model cars made from spare model racing go carts, car engine sounds had been recorded from one of the teachers car exhausts and were played through speakers to add to the atmosphere. One team had produced adverts for members of staff including tyre changers and engineers. They provided the rates of pay, working conditions and holiday entitlement for these posts. The pupils explained all the sections to the judges in great detail. Hadleigh should be very proud of our education which is far superior to that which has been reported in recent Ofsted Reports for the County of Suffolk. I was extremely impressed by the presentation put on by the students which could only have been achieved to this high standard with the help and support of the staff. I would like to thank, publicly, the pupils and staff of the High School for a most enjoyable event and for including the Mayor of the Town. Councillor Brian Lazenby, Hadleigh Town Mayor

Dear Sir I had never organised a public charity collection before and it proved to be a real ‘chicken and egg’ exercise. The first priority seemed to be to get the required permissions to operate on the date set, Saturday 29th of June, Armed Forces Day, whilst it was still vacant. Babergh District Council, plus all three local supermarkets provided almost by return, the required consents. Next was to enlist the foot soldiers to hold the collecting boxes. Hadleigh now has a population in excess of 9,000 and you would think that part would be a doddle. In excess of 250 leaflets displayed or delivered, three newspaper entries, two local radio station appeals and just three intrepid volunteers came forward. Thank you Mrs. Joan Rudman and son Jeffery, plus Mrs. Jane Harrison. All three came along for an early shift in the morning before having to keep other engagements, so we were able to cover two of the three sites. It was then that Hadleigh and it's visitors showed that as shy as they had been in coming forward, they were no slouches in donating to a cause close to their heart. The day ended with £634.05 dedicated to the memory of Drummer Lee Rigby so tragically and brutally murdered, being

Finally on a lighter note, would the two ladies who inadvertently put their trolley tokens in a collecting box like them back? I am not so sure who donated the Turkish pound coin but I will save it !! Thank you Hadleigh, Fred Breyer

Dear Sir If you have been along the Riverside Walk recently you cannot have failed to notice several large piles of rhubarb-like vegetation at the sides of the pathways. These piles are of tens of thousands of Himalayan Balsam plants which has been pulled up from various areas of the land forming the public area. To allow this invasive weed to flower and form seed pods would cause the whole area to be completely taken over within a few years and hence the urgent need to remove as many plants as possible. The period of growth is from June to October so the removal of the weeds must continue and will be on-going over the next three or four months. If not removed each plant, if allowed to seed, could produce something between 800 and 2,500 seeds. I intend, along with another volunteer, to remove over the next three months as many of these growing weeds as possible. Babergh Council are aware of the situation. Let us hope that next year, the results of efforts to remove this noxious weed this year, will be evident. John Cunningham 01473 822198

Dear Sir With regard to the report by Councillor Brian Riley in the July edition of Hadleigh Community News I should like to correct and clarify some of the points made by Councillor Brian Riley:- Firstly I did not present the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Management Plan report to the Cabinet. This task was undertaken by Councillor Richard Smith, Portfolio Holder for Environment, Economic Development and Planning. I was invited to speak as Chair of the AONB by Cllr Mark Bee, Chair of the Cabinet and Leader of the Council. The Management Plan was fully endorsed and supported by all members of the Cabinet. I did state that I believed the Plan was produced in-house but it turns out that Suffolk Design and Print, although asked for a quote, declined. Therefore the cheapest quote was chosen that being Spring Agency who are a local company based in Southwold this was 50% cheaper than other quotes received. The cost including design, artwork, production and printing 200 copies was £4,999. All script, photographs and consultation was undertaken by the AONB staff. Consultation on the Management Plan included members of the public via Suffolk Show, Parish Councils, Libraries, Public Events and via the web as well as our statutory consultees. Why glossy? - The plan needs to reflect the importance of the document as it is intended to manage the AONB for the next five years and has to project a suitable image to our partners and businesses indicating that we are serious in discharging our duties. The plan is a statutory responsibility for local authorities to produce (Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 section 89) which is delegated to the AONB’s Joint Advisory Committee. As such we bid to DEFRA for funding to undertake this task on the behalf of the local authorities. We actually bid and claimed from Defra (our main funder) £10,000 in 2012/13 to plan, prepare and produce the 2013–18 plan. The Joint Advisory Committee of which I am the Chairman is made up of Councillors from all of the local authorities that are part of the AONB and project area and includes 7 Conservative, 2 Liberal Democrats, 1 Independent and 1 Labour. Recent press, radio and television articles have also acknowledged the importance of the AONB estimating it is worth in excess of £230 million to the County’s tourism and related industries. This is a dynamic area hence the importance of the Management Plan. D L Wood, County Councillor Peninsula Ward Chairman Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB JAC & Partnership

Dear Sir As a long time supporter of Hadleigh, which has all of those facilities needed which are vital to those of us who rely on public transport, it is heartening to see shops and customers continuing their campaign to ‘Save The High Street’. However our Co-op seems to content to shoot itself in the foot. My weekly trip had allowed me to buy all of my coeliac requirements, but most of these seem to have been discontinued. They have kept expensive sweet items - no good for us who are diabetic - but where are the rice cakes, corn crackers and gluten free biscuits? My shopping bag from the Co-op has always included wine, essential for medicinal purposes! Other retailers can now supply all my needs but maybe my wife will continue her loyalty. Neither of us has any support for a Tesco in any form in our locality - come on Co-op, it’s easy to lose a customer, but difficult to gain others unless you supply what people want. Dennis, Hintlesham

Dear Sir Is the smoke from the rear of The George the new pizza oven or has a new Town Councillor been appointed? Steve Laing

News from The Station Welcome to the latest news from the Station. On Tuesday 9th July officers in the Babergh district activated their all new Twitter account. This account has several authorised users across the area based at Sudbury, Capel and Hadleigh Police Stations. I am delighted to inform you all that I am one of the Twitter users, and if you follow us you will find up to date, relevant information on what we are doing at the time of the Tweet and will have instant access to us. Many of us will be using our own mobile phones to Tweet whilst on patrol making sure that we are that much easier to reach for our communities. If you use Twitter, you can find and follow us at @BaberghPolice. This week I have mostly been working on parking issues and meeting with partner agencies to talk about the long term effects of anti-social and illegal parking in our town. Along with my Superintendent, I have discussed on-going problem areas with local business representatives and the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce. Whilst this was an early fact finding mission, it will lead on to wider discussions with the Town and Babergh District Councils. The subject of permit parking has been mentioned to me for business owners, and residents in streets where parking can be a worry. Whilst both Suffolk County Council and Babergh are yet to be drawn on such a scheme, I am quick to remind you that permit parking is not free â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those who want a permit would more than likely have to pay a yearly fee per permit. In other Counties that have these schemes, I am aware that often only two permits are issued per property thus causing significant problems when friends or family come to visit. There are, of course, other long term solutions that will be discussed, but in the short term we can all make an instant difference by thinking more about how we use our vehicles, and for what purpose. If you are planning a short drive to the shops or the school to drop the children off, think about the alternatives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could you walk or even cycle? We all have a responsibility to improve the use of our roads. There have been recent calls from members of the public concerning the use of pedal cycles on our pavements. Riding a bike on the pavement is an offence. The pavement is for pedestrians unless there is a designated cycle lane along its route. Please cycle responsibly on the roads and if you do not feel confident riding on the roads then please contact us and we can advise you on the regulations, or even point you in the right direction for cycle proficiency courses. Finally, on a sad note, our thoughts at the Police Station go out to friends and family of Gianni Baldissin who died recently. For those who did not know him, Gianni was the landlord of the Eight Bells public house in Angel Street and was always very welcoming, friendly and offered service with a smile. He will be greatly missed by all. You can visit us at Hadleigh Police Station where we are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 1pm and 3pm. You can contact us on 101, or babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk and you can now follow us on Twitter @BaberghPolice. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk

The End of XP and Windows 8 Fail As I said l have said before Official support of Windows XP ends in 2014, April 8th 2014 to be exact. If you still have a computer running Windows XP you should really replace it by then. So what to replace XP with? I have made my feelings about Windows 8 known before. Basically I think it is a disaster for many, particularly those who may be older or don’t use a computer every day. The removal of the start menu was, and is, just stupid. I really think that windows 7 is the only real option and as support continues until January 14th 2020 it should be safe to use for the lives of one or two generations of computers. Looking at the analysis of some recently released sales figures it looks like computers with Windows 8 are failing to sell. Microsoft seems to be worried enough to possibly restore the start menu on a refresh of Windows 8 due out in the autumn. That would not make me buy Windows 8 though because I believe that the whole project is deeply, deeply flawed. With Windows 8 I think that what Microsoft has created is a “Spork” – a cross between a spoon and a fork - not much good as a spoon and not much good as a fork. Nick Kotarski

Craft work much like art and music, knows no boundaries or barriers. This was clearly demonstrated at a recent meeting of Country Threads when Gerry Eliasar and his son Peter brought a considerable number of the finest cross stitch kits, coloured threads and craft reference books to the ladies of the group. Although the two men are from The Netherlands, their gifts were truly international; coming from Malaysia, Australia, France and Denmark to name just a few. This unique collection originally belonged to Gerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late wife, Tineke, who was an avid fan of the craft. She had collected (L to R) Peter and Gerry Eliasar much of the material while with Mavis Gordon. travelling abroad with her husband. Tineke had expressly asked her husband to make sure that the entire collection be given to someone who would appreciate and make use of it. For this reason Gerry had offered everything to Mavis Gordon and the ladies of the Country Threads group. Members warmly welcomed Gerry and Peter to the group, showed them completed examples of their latest charity project and then spent quite some time enthusing over the diverse collection of kits they had so generously donated. While enjoying some home made light refreshments Gerry was able to chat to members and look at their current projects. On behalf of the group Mavis expressed her thanks for their generous gift, promised to complete as many as possible with photos to prove it. As a token of appreciation,a Hadleigh bag of local goodies was presented to the visitors. Gerry said that, as he had such a good feeling about the sincerity of the group, he knew without doubt that he had satisfactorily fulfilled one of Tinekeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last wishes. JD

Rotary Review CLUB MATTERS: The Club has moved base and is now comfortably settled in its new home at theQueen's Head, Lower Layham.We thank Steve and his staff for making us very welcome. We would also like to thank Tom, Mel and the staff at the Eight Bells for looking after us during the past few months. IN MEMORIAM: Members were shocked to learn of the very untimely death of Gianni Baldissinni who had recentlly retired as mine host at the Eight Bells.Gianni and Linda had catered for the Club since 2000 and Gianni will be sadly missed. Members extend their sincere condolences to Linda and the family. CLUB ASSEMBLY: This annual event took place at the end of June when President Glenn Abbassi reviewed the past Rotary year and set out her plans for 2013/14. As usual the main fundraiser will be the Christmas Collection and details will be published later in the year. The President has also established Bra banks at the Coop and Morrisons in aid of Breast Cancer research. She has also just returned from a successful sponsored cycle ride from London to Paris in aid of Mines Advisory Group. She completed the ride at the Eiffel Tower without any help from the accompanying assistance vehicles. Well Done Glenn!!! The incoming Assistant District Governor was in attendance to approve the Club programme and he wished us success in recruiting more members. SPEAKERS: 1 Caroline Gibson, Head of Hadleigh High School, spoke briefly about the origins of the schools system which started as a means of training people to go into religious orders. Until fairly modern times learning was mainly by rote and often teaching was poor and very basic. The 1944 Education Act made education more accessible but until recently very little real change had taken place in teaching methods since Victorian times. Successive Governments have tinkered with the system but made no major progress and still about one third of teachers leave the profession within 3 years. However the more progressive schools are closely monitoring each child and seeking the best way of teaching them, finding and encouraging their talents. Each child must become resourceful, adaptable and forward thinking.There will be jobs available locally but many will require 'A' Level qualifications and it is her job to ensure that every child is capable of reaching this standard. She finds her profession a priveledge and very rewarding. Members believe that education in Hadleigh is in good hands. 2 Amanda Berry visited the Club to advertise her fundraising event at Hadleigh Football Club to raise money for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Diabetes UK. This is by way of a thank you for the successful treatment of her nephew Charlie, a sufferer of Junior Type 1 Diabetes, who is now fit and happy although he must continue to inject himself every day.

Hadleigh Swimming Club has been very busy during the summer season, the junior squad travelled to Deben Swimming Pool for the final of the Summer League 2013 and came first and also won the Title of Best Supported Club, support for each other was great and certainly the noisiest club there. The club would like to thank Alex and Maria for their help on the evening, and a big thank you to Finlay Kirk and Isobel Field (Team Captains), Adam Morsman, Charlie Clarke, Molly Evans and Emily May for their years with the Junior Squad as they will now be competing with the Senior Sqaud. The Dolphins held a land based training day in June at Hadleigh Community Primary School with a local fitness instructor (Andi), three hours of fitness training followed by a discussion about nutrition and race preparation. A big thank you to Andi, the school and Alex and Jackie from the club for organising a fun day of learning which everyone who attended really enjoyed.

The endurance part of the story came from two brave swimmers, Finlay Kirk and William white who attended the East Region Open Championships at Whitlingham Lake nr Norwich. The outside temperature was a fresh 17 degrees centigrade and the water temperature (22 degrees), so with the ruling of no wetsuits the boys were happy ! They entered a heat of 30 swimmers and all scrambled for a place in the pack at the start of the race, they both completed the 800 m around the lake. In their age group Finlay came 3rd with a time of 13.12 mins and Will came 4th in 14.11 mins. The event was very well organised by the Amateur Swimming Association and the club hope to take many more swimmers with them next year. Finally a big thank you from all the swimmers for the dedication of the Coaches and the HSC Committee members who have made it such a great club to belong to.

Hadleigh Cricket Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group It is no surprise that all-rounders are often the most popular figures in cricket. Just think of Botham and Flintoff – it is not only their ability to perform with both bat and ball but the attacking spirit with which they play that have made them legends of the game. Here at Hadleigh this season we have seen two bowlers emerge from the lower orders with some amazing feats with the bat. Last month it was the 1st XI’s Kyle Tanner, and he continued his rich vein of form recently with 93 against Elmstead. But the player of the month for July has to be ‘Dangerous’ Dave Hinsley. The 2nds did not have the strongest of sides in their game at Witham, so skipper Bloss Tampion took a punt and sent Dave out to open up. He responded with a career-best 124 not out, including some marvellous clean-hitting; then, in the words of the resident match reporter, ‘whether down to the excitement of his innings or the presence of a vet in the team, an adrenaline-fuelled Dave’ followed that up with two wickets, two catches and a run out in the 2nd’s crucial six-run win. The following week Dave showed it was no fluke with 65 against Great Bromley. The First XI have had a good month with three wins out of four and while the title is on ice for Frinton it would be a great achievement for Josh Davey’s team to finish as the highest-placed Suffolk club in the Two Counties Championship. The Sunday 1st XI could also still win Division 1 of the Hunts County Bats league. They won their key encounter with co-leaders Woolpit, and have most of August off before their final three matches of a disappointingly fixture-lite season. Tim Rix has continued his incredible form for Martin Grayling’s side with scores of 60 and 88, both made in the very hot weather we have had lately. Should the heatwave continue, keep cool with drinks and ice creams from the bar every Saturday afternoon from 1pm on match days. Match sponsors for August: Adnams PLC, Haines Watts and Anglia Fire Protection Farmer

Hadleigh Bowling Club The start of the 2013 outdoor season got off to a quiet start mainly due to the effects of the cold spring on the newly laid green which meant that we did all our bowling away from the Stone street club until the end of June. However with a great deal of effort from our “green team” the green is now bowling very well and with our newly laid floor in the club house we intent to see the season out with a bang. On Sunday September 1 we are having a Charity Roll Up and Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Nurses and Help the Heroes. The event is open to all so if you fancy a go at bowling or just a cup of coffee and a chat in aid of 2 good causes, please come along we would be delighted to see you. Tuesday September 3 sees us entertain a Humberside Presidents touring team which from past experiences of touring teams should be a lot of fun. We follow that with a Hadleigh Open Bowls Tournament on Saturday 7 September which is open to all once again. The format is 3 wood triples with an entry fee of £16 per team and a prize of £100 to the winners (subject to the number of entries). The competition will be all day, playing in mini leagues with each game being of 8 ends. Food will be available if required as well as the bar. Entry forms are available from the club or from our captain Peter Miller on 01473 823852. Our Club Finals Day is on Saturday 14 September and even if you are not participating it is always worth seeing these keenly contested and usually close encounters between some of the best bowlers in the club. We close our 2013 outdoor season on Saturday 21 September with a ladies v men match which will be fancy dress with a theme of Rock n Roll. The bowling will be followed by a BBQ and Music Night. During the winter we continue to bowl indoors at the club with 2 league teams and for the first time this coming winter we will hold inter club leagues. In addition we try to arrange a social event at least once a month. So if you fancy any of the above events or are looking to play the less physically demanding short mat indoor game during the winter you will be made very welcome. Please give Peter a call and he will put you in touch with the right club member for the event that you are interested in.

French’s Care Haven For Horses

www.the-car-wash.org.uk

Horse rescue? In Hadleigh! (In fact on your doorstep!) Jann Turner started French’s Care Haven for Horses because of the overwhelming cases of neglect, abandonment and throw away mentality of today’s society. Unwanted and abused or neglected horses are starting to make their way to Jann’s Equine Rehabilitation Centre in Pond Hall Road. Located in the heart of Suffolk this is the base for Jann’s lifelong practice of work which is dedicated to the recovery, care, management and re-training of horses. We (Eve and John Chandler) became involved when we answered an appeal for fundraisers. Our first trip to see the horses was both sad and delightful. Sad that people allow these wonderful creatures to be abused or neglected and delighted that their lives have changed so much for the better. They now have peace, security, warmth and love - a basic requirement for all of us. Thank goodness these places exist and people like Jann have the determination to make it work despite a huge workload, exceptional long hours and very tight funding. CRAFT GROUPS! I know you are out there. I was once a crafter and I know from personal experience that there are a wealth of highly qualified and gifted people in Hadleigh and surrounding areas who sew, paint, potter, carding etc. If you find a stockpile of work which you don’t know what to do with, would you consider donating to this very worthy cause so that we are in a position to take a stall at fetes and shows and have merchandise to try and raise some much needed cash? On the subject of cash donations - winter will soon be upon us and with rescue horses and ponies to feed this costs a huge amount of money. Any cash donations, or farmers out there with hay or straw, horse feed merchants or anybody who wants to just come along in the cold snowy days to help out - you will be so welcome and it will be so much appreciated. Now a really big ask! In fact two!! The Stables are looking for a portakabin to use as an office. Is there anyone out there who has one which is not being used. We could put it to such a good use. We are also after a kitchen so that 2014 can see tea, coffee and cakes being sold. If somebody out there has a new kitchen coming in and doesn’t know what to do with the old one, please don’t just dispose of it in the skip, give us a call. We can use it! We really would be so grateful. There are lots of things in the pipeline including sponsoring or befriending a horse or pony and open days so it is a really interesting project for such a really good cause. Our telephone number is 01473 824660 - ask for Eve or Ron. We look forward to hearing from you. Please help.

Barry James was on hand to welcome 17 lady golfers back to his local course after they had raised more than £1,000 in memory of this late wife. Golfer Yvonne James recently lost her fight against cancer, and members of Newton Green, where she played, decided to commemorate her passing by taking part in the recent cancer fundraising Race for Life at Nowton Park, Bury St Edmunds. Barry, who lived with his wife in a home overlooking the course, attended a lunch at the golfer’s club house to pay tribute to those that had walked the five kilometre course.

The team of Jude Hanner, Sybil Paton, Johanna Stonehewer-Smith, Bev Thompson and Hannah Moul beat the team from Diss by three games to two. This takes them into the seventh round which can take place anywhere in the UK. The Ladies Section has also enjoyed further success in their Essex County matches with the Bronze team reaching the semi-finals, the Silver team being placed second in their league and the Harris Bowl team (current holders of the trophy) continuing with their winning streak. Ladies Captain Sue Grieves stated that she was immensely proud of the achievements of all teams and thanked the players, caddies and team captains for all their dedication and effort.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group & Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United began their pre-season friendly matches with a home game against Colchester United Academy. The young professionals attracted a good crowd to the Millfield on a very hot day and Hadleigh were beaten by two goals to nil after a splendid contest. Colchester took the lead after four minutes but Hadleigh soon went near when a great shot from Josh Mayhew was well saved by the goalkeeper. In the second half Hadleigh had more of the play with shots from James Blades and Lee McGlone being kept out by the Colchester goalkeeper. Another great shot by Blades hit the post before Colchester scored again in the last minute. The next match saw Wroxham at the Millfield and Hadleigh won by five goals to one on another hot day. Kris Rose headed a great goal before an own goal made it two at the interval. In the second half Ollie Canfer scored a hat-trick while the Norfolk team scored a consolation goal. This had been a splendid performance by Hadleigh. First time fixturesfor August in the Thurlow Nunn League begin on Saturday 10th with a home match against Woodbridge. On Tuesday 13th we travel to Haverhill before a trip to Takeley on Saturday 17th in the F.A Cup. Then Brightlingsea make their first visit to Hadleigh for many years on Tuesday 20th before Kirkley come to the Millfield on Saturday 24th. Supporters should note that cup matches take priority which would mean a postponement of league fixtures. Any alterations will be on the club website. Our Reserves and Youth team have a number of friendly matches in August before they begin their league matches in September. Fixtures not yet announced. However, the Thurlow Nunn Youth team face a trip to Lowestoft in the F.A Youth Cup. We welcome all supporters old and new to our games and can promise them some exciting football in the coming nine months.

Hadleigh United under 16’s Now that the majority of last seasons under 15’s team have signed on this season we can look forward to what could be a promising season. Everyone will be hoping to improve as players and as a team. While on paper last season wasn’t as successful as we would have hoped, I think we all learnt a lot that we can take with us throughout the new season and hopefully this can only make us improve as a team. As well as learning a lot from last season, we also have some new players that we can use for this season. Owen Clemson has joined us who plays mainly as a striker, as well as Anthony Pierce and Miles Dixon who could potentially be a rock at the back for us and we need some height in our team! Both Anthony and Miles had been training with the team for a large part of last season and this helped them a lot as they have improved very rapidly and could potentially be important players for our team. At Hadleigh there are very high expectations as there is such a large youth squad set up as well as a successful first team. Everyone hopes that our team can start to meet the expectations and maybe even exceed them. It would be good for the team if we had a cup run this season and I think there is every chance that we can be successful in the league too! We have an improving team and everyone is looking forward to the start of training and the season. Dane, Under 16’s player
