Scaffolding again at St. Mary’s bookings@hadleighprivatehire.co.uk
Major work to repair the roof to the Deanery Tower for which the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich have responsibility, was carried out in 2016. As we start 2017 St Mary’s Church will see again scaffolding going up as work to the ground floor windows and stonework surrounds gets under way. This first stage of a major programme has been made possible because of an anonymous donation to the Friends of St Mary’s Church. “Renewal of St Mary’s for a better Hadleigh” is the headline for what will be a rolling programme of work to bring this ancient medieval building into the twenty-first century. Roofs and floors are in urgent need of major work and the heating, lighting, toilets and kitchen facilities all require renewing. As the largest building at the centre of the community of Hadleigh, as well as being a place for worship and prayer it is frequently used by groups like HADS for their pantomime production, the Porch Project, the annual Art Exhibition, the Hadleigh Choral Society concerts, etc. All our community partners who chose to use the church building deserve modern facilities. The Church Council have commissioned a team under the leadership of the church wardens and they have recently appointed Freeland Rees Roberts Architects of Cambridge to draw up plans and put together a programme of work which will take place over the next few years. Funds will have to be raised and grants applied for, to help cover the large cost of this type of work but we know that unless we do it now we are in danger of losing this asset for the town. This wonderful building belongs not to the State nor to the Church of England but to us all. If you have any questions please contact Lesley Turner or James Wilding through the church office: tel 01473 527499 email: office@stmaryshadleigh.co.uk

VIP Balloons were the special guest attraction of the Christmas Day lunch run by The Christmas Present Trust. Guests arrived through a giant present made from balloons and sat down to a traditional Christmas dinner and a not so traditional singing chef who gave the audience a wonderful rendition of ‘Orange Coloured Sky’ after roasting 22 kilos of potatoes as part of the meal! Alongside abundant generosity from residents and businesses of Hadleigh and the surrounding areas, came an interesting request from Sir Richard Branson who was one of several VIPs to sign a Christmas Card. These were auctioned off in November (and reported in December’s Community News) to raise money for The Christmas Present Trust. Sir Richard has personally requested photographs from the event to be sent directly to him, so who knows where this will lead? This is where we need your help. Volunteer Input – Priceless. The Christmas Present Trust, now in its third year, need advice and input from the good people of Hadleigh. Having run two successful Christmas lunches, with another already in the planning stages for this year, and with a very healthy surplus in the Ipswich Building Society, we welcome your ideas as to where we can improve and what else we can do. To this end, we would like to invite all those who have volunteered, donated or are interested, to The George pub in Hadleigh High Street on Tuesday 28th February starting at 7pm where drinks and nibbles are on us. Very Important People. We could not have had such a wonderful day without our guests, volunteers and those who donated, especially Tori at The George, Morrisons, Franey and Rand Charities, the Rotary Club, Hadleigh Community Choir, Hadleigh Town Council, Whatfield Players, Travel Stop, Hunters Exclusive, The Emporium, Tesco, Adnams, Mark David, many individual donors and, of course, Kelvin and the team at Hadleigh Community News.

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard At The Brewers Polstead
Hello my dear readers. I gather that there has been much twittering as to what the Property Nil Rate Band (to which I alluded in January) for Inheritance Tax amounts to. As from April this means that upon death one can leave a property to one’s children and add a further £100,000 to the amount of £325,000 that one can leave without paying Inheritance Tax. One can carry forward the unused allowance of a deceased spouse of £325,000 and indeed the unused Property Nil Rate Band of a late spouse of £100,000. One could potentially leave £900,000 without paying Inheritance Tax. So many of my readers are now “living together” and as they whisper into each other’s ears they are forgetting the Inheritance Tax liabilities that will eventually befall them through not being married or in a civil partnership. I am glad that so many of you enjoyed my photograph taken at The Orwell Hotel in Felixstowe. I overlooked to include the telephone number which is 01394 285511. As I said you will enjoy a wonderful Sunday lunch and during the week a very well priced three course dinner at £16. I mentioned in my last despatch about my photographer friend Thomas Dinsdale and above appears one of his pictures. I have never been behind the bar of a pub and so I was very excited to do so at The Brewers on the A1071 at Polstead. The picture shows me with one of the proprietors, Shaun and Grace who is a waitress. I was able to pull a few orders and to shout “Get out of my pub”. You will know that my mother and I are frequent visitors to The Brewers. Why not savour a good pub meal there Tel. 01787 210441. You can have the meal of the day for £6.50. I often despair at the poor standard with which Conveyancing is conducted especially at some of these enormous conveyancing factories/combines. Having read a degree in Law and Politics, taken my Solicitor’s Finals at the College of Law Guildford and been fortunate to have undertaken my articles (training) in New Square Lincoln’s Inn it is upsetting to be dealing with others who often do not have a clue. In taking legal advice you would expect to be able to speak to the same person twice and to have the opportunity to discuss matters. My clients “drop in” and are kept abreast of developments and they can discuss with me their intentions and any problems. You will be spending more money upon purchase of a house than for anything else. Instruct us and get proper and clear advice. We would also be pleased to prepare your Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney. I am happy to come to see you locally. Howard Gibbons

Happy New Year! Firstly, we would like to wish every pupil, parent and member of staff a very happy new year! We hope that everyone is well rested and ready for another exciting term at Beaumont. Christmas Fundraising Once again, we would like to say a huge thank you for the overwhelming support we received in all of our Christmas events. The school disco was well attended and even Mrs Atima joined in with the dancing! We also had a very special visit from Father Christmas, who set up his grotto in our Nursery! Every child met with him and left smiling with a sweet treat. Special thanks to Sweet N Memories in the High Street who helped Father Christmas and his elves get the sweetie cones to school. New Website Our website has had an exciting makeover. As well as a personalised homepage, featuring a hand drawn version of our school, we have some new features. These include a blogging platform and a secure video resource centre where we will be able to ensure parents don’t miss out on events such as class assemblies and plays.

Another New Year!!
So, yet another year has gone and before you know it spring will have arrived! It’s a time of renewed energy and new beginnings – the flowers and trees burst back to life after their winter sleep and bring colour and beauty into the world. You can too!! By now we’ve (hopefully) recovered from the excesses of the Christmas party season and can start to look forward to our summer holidays, the warmer weather, trips to the beach, bbqs etc. Maybe the Christmas pud and partying have sabotaged your healthy eating habits and your clothes are feeling a bit snug..! If that’s the case and you want to feel slim and slinky again then why not try Cambridge Weight Plan to retrain your eating habits in time for spring. Cambridge Weight Plan has recently introduced two new products to add to our already wide range – a Thai Green Style Curry joins the Chicken Tikka Style Curry, Macaroni Cheese and Spaghetti Bolognese (all “real food”) and a delicious Strawberry and Apple yoghurt-coated bar. These enhance the current range of soups, shakes, smoothies, bars and porridge. Three* of these products a day provides 100% nutrition at a very low calorie level which means dieters can lose weight quickly (average weight loss is around a stone** a month) but at the same time be confident that they are giving themselves the very best level of nutrition – something that is very difficult to do in less than 1500kcals of “normal” food. Research has proven that dieters are more successful with support. Accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord has 8 years’ experience. For individual help with your weight problem, contact her today on 01449 737113/07519 177645 or www.facebook.com/val.lord.cwp. For more information, go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL You can get the body you want, and like thousands of others you could soon be saying ”I wish I’d found Cambridge sooner!” *Women over 5’8” and all men need 4 products. **The rate of weight loss may vary according to the individual.

Several organisations including Hadleigh Evening WI decorated a tree for the Christmas festival at St Mary’s Church. Pictures of members on crackers and lights adorned our tree. Thanks to the efforts of all exhibitors about £1,400 was raised of which £300 was donated to the Girl Guides. At the December meeting, Jan Byrne used pictures from the archives to take us through the Hadleigh of yesteryear. This was a unique opportunity for audience participation, as ladies commented on the homes of their childhood and fondly remembered relatives, friends and owners of the businesses, who featured in the pictures. This enjoyable informative talk was followed by a festive feast of goodies provided by members, who responded generously to the request to “Bring a Plate”. (See Picture) In January, proving cooking at home can be quicker than ordering a takeaway, WI chairman Jane Sago took minutes to cook two one pot casseroles of chicken and salmon, a rice pudding made with coconut milk and microwave meringues. After tasting there was unanimous approval of all the delicious dishes.

Are you a former student of Sudbury Girls’ High School?
Do you know someone who is? A few of us met recently to see if there’s any mileage in trying to arrange a reunion, especially aimed (but not only) at those who were at the school in its final 12 years or so, i.e. in the 1960’s and up to the school closing in 1972. There are regular gatherings of the Old Students’ Association but that tends to attract older ‘old girls’. There have also been occasional reunions of single year groups, but we feel that now is the time for a more general reunion. We’ve set the date of September 23rd 2017, though as yet we’re not sure of venue or format. That depends, for one thing, on the number of people who ‘sign up’. So it would be really helpful if you could indicate an interest in coming, and ask any friends or relatives who were at the school to do the same. Also, on the day we hope to display old photos and other items to do with the school. Hopefully this will trigger memories, as we’d like people to submit their memories, any photos, and memorabilia so that we can prepare a follow up volume to the ‘Book of Memories’ produced a few years ago by the Old Students’ Association. Please pass word around on this so we can contact as many former students as possible, and get in touch if you’d like to come to the reunion, help in the planning, and/or be involved in the book. You can contact me by post at 86 Pontardawe Road, Clydach, Swansea, SA6 5PA or by e mail at pcram@headweb.co.uk. Look forward to hearing from you. Pam Cram (nee Collett) 1964-1972

Pause for thought – February 2017
Locked into love - In June 2015, the city of Paris removed forty-five tonnes of padlocks from the railings of the Pont des Arts pedestrian bridge. As a romantic gesture, couples would etch their initials onto a lock, attach it to the railing, click it shut, and throw the key into the River Seine. After this ritual was repeated thousands of times, the bridge could no longer bear the weight of so much “love.” Eventually the city, fearing for the integrity of the bridge, removed an estimated 700,000 “love locks.” The locks were meant to symbolize everlasting love, but human love, sadly does not always last. The closest of friends may offend each other and never resolve their differences. Family members may argue and refuse to forgive. A husband and wife may drift so far apart that they can’t remember why they once decided to marry. Human love can be fickle. But there is one constant and enduring love—the love of God. “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever,” proclaims Psalm 106:1. The promises of the unfailing and everlasting nature of God’s love are found throughout the Bible. And the greatest proof of this love is the death of His Son so that those who put their faith in Him can live eternally. And nothing will ever separate us from His love. This is how Romans 8: 38–39 puts it: ‘For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ When we truly follow Jesus we are locked into God’s love forever.

Ever thought of fostering?
In the UK there are currently a record number of children coming into foster care. Many factors are contributing to this situation: high numbers of families on the breadline, an increase in ill mental health amongst parents and young people, high levels of substance misuse, family breakdowns and a refugee crisis that demands a response. To make matters worse there is a real shortage in foster carers, which means many children aren’t offered the homes they deserve. Of course, many people consider fostering but are put off by things they’ve heard. At EFS we’d like to have an honest conversation about fostering with those who have ever considered it. So, we’ll be holding our next coffee morning at our offices in East Bergholt from 10.30am until 12.30pm on Thursday 2nd March. We’d love to talk to anyone who is interested in fostering and we’ll have some of our carers with us who will always speak honestly and openly about their experiences. For more information or to register your interest, please call us on 01206 299775 or visit www.easternfosteringservices.com

Hadleigh Community Primary School Information about some of our Extended School Provision
8 O’Clock Club/Breakfast Club
Hadleigh Town Hall & Guildhall Complex Market Place • Hadleigh • IP7 5DN
‘At the heart of the town’s heritage’ We have been running the 8 O’Clock Club, a supervised before school club for children whose parents need to be at work, college etc, earlier than allowed by normal school hours, for some time now but in January we added the Breakfast Club which is open from 7.30am and includes a breakfast snack of toast, fruit and a drink. There are always a selection of games to play, activities to enjoy and an opportunity to chat with friends. Nursery Lunch Club Hadleigh Community Primary School has run its own highly successful catering service for around ten years and we serve around 400 school lunches every day. At the beginning of this academic year we introduced the Nursery Lunch Club where the children can enjoy a varied menu ensuring that all food served is healthy, nutritious and meeting Government guidelines. The Club operates from 11.30am – 12.30pm which means that it can be added to either of our morning or afternoon Nursery sessions and is led by appropriately qualified staff who supervise the children in the school hall when they eat their lunch (with the Reception Year children) and afterwards, play with them in the Nursery area. The children thoroughly enjoy the lunches and the experience of eating with their friends. We do a few have spaces in our Nursery – why not make an appointment to see what we can offer you and your child? After School Club To round off the day we have an After School Club which runs from 3.15pm until 6pm. There are activities to enjoy and games to play and a healthy snack is provided all under the care and guidance of our experienced Play Leader and Play Workers. Do you need wrap around care for your child? Would you like to see what Hadleigh Community Primary School can offer you and your child? If so, please make an appointment to see our Headteacher, Mr Pilkington, and have a tour of the school. Contact us on 01473 822161 and we will be delighted to meet you and show you what our school has to offer.
Can you help?

Recipe for Success by Sarah Thompson
For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish
Last week, I used Skype. I sat in front of my computer before a director and producer and auditioned for a part in a film. The panel asked if, apart from the traits of the character, there was anything else I could bring to the table. I said “I bake” and they seemed impressed. I didn’t get the part – how rude! This one’s for Ted. Lemon Drizzle Cake. Ingredients 2 medium-sized eggs, 85g (3oz) self-raising flour, 85g (3oz) caster sugar, 85g (3oz) softened butter, ¾ level tsp baking powder, 1 lemon - zest and juice. For the crunchy lemon icing: 56g (2oz) granulated sugar, Juice of 1 lemon. Equipment 450g (1lb) loaf tin, greased and lined. Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. 2. In a large mixing bowl beat together the eggs, flour, caster sugar, butter, baking powder, lemon zest and juice until smooth. Pour into the prepared tin. 3. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 35 mins, or until golden brown. Cake should be shrinking away from the sides of the tin and springy to the touch. 4. While the cake is still warm, make the lemon drizzle topping. Mix together the sugar and lemon juice, and pour over the warm cake. 5. Leave to cool a little, then lift the cake out of the tin. Share – with friends.

We would like to thank the Ipswich Renal unit for their long term support of Winn’s kidney condition, the Ipswich Hospital Macmillan Cancer Support unit for Roger’s treatment and Dr Irwin of the Hadleigh Health Centre, also Hillary Griffin for conducting both funeral services. Thanks you to all who attended the funerals and for the donations to their chosen charities, Kidney Research UK for Winn and Macmillan Cancer Support for Roger.
Hadleigh Footpath Volunteers
Hopefully, everyone will now be aware that our walks will now take place on the third Saturday of the month. One slight drawback of this arrangement is that I will be unable to report on the previous month’s walk as copy date is now before the walk takes place. It seems pointless to report on a walk held 2 months previously. Our February walk on the Saturday 18th will start and finish at the Edwardstone White Horse Inn. The 7 mile route will proceed via Parliament Heath, Pitches Mount, Groton Church, Edwardstone Lodge,Edwardstone Church and then via The Grove to the White Horse Inn. By coincidence the White Horse will be running a beer fest on that day so we will have an excuse to sample the wares and enjoy a snack before going home. The landlord is happy for walkers to park in the pub car park and we will leave at 0930 as usual. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs. Strong shoes or preferably walking boots should be worn as the ground can be muddy and rough in places at this time of the year. As usual, route maps can be requested from the web site. For further information about these walks go to www.hadleighwalkers.com, email us at hadleighwalkers@gmail.com or contact Mike Keeling on 01787 210104 or 0785 895 5678.

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029
112a High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EL While Kenneth’s face was buried in a cup of tea, I slipped into the office to write this month’s news and lift the lid on life at SESAW. “The Boss” certainly lived up to his name after one of his public appearances last year. Peace reigned until the kitchen door burst open and in struts Himself, full of verbal abuse for every dog in the room. Even Buttons was sent reeling off the chair as the Prima Donna made a beeline for the best bed. The little chap needs to get over himself but I’m glad he enjoys meeting and greeting. It wouldn’t suit a smart black cat like me, or a feline family rescued by one of our Volunteers recently. The adults and kittens were relieved to be safe and warm after living rough at Tesco’s garage in Sudbury. Now, like many cats at SESAW, they await a new home with people who will love them regardless of their colour. We have lots of dogs too so visit us if you are looking for an animal to share your life. We are open 10-1pm, Thurs-Sun. Time for me to slip away again before Kenneth realises his place has been taken by me, Ollie (the Black) Cat.

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk As in many previous years, this winter we have seen huge pressure on our National Health Service. In fact, the Tuesday following Christmas was the busiest day in the history of the NHS. No day since the creation of the NHS in 1948 has seen more people attending its hospitals than that day in December - little wonder then that we heard many stories of staff 'stretched' and struggling to cope. Quite simply, demand was unprecedented. Fortunately, our local health service coped relatively well, though of course many people had significant waits to be seen. In these circumstances one can sympathise very strongly with NHS staff placed under such pressure. I have nothing but the greatest respect for all those who work so hard on our wards and in our surgeries. My mother was a nurse and all four of my children were born on NHS maternity wards, with excellent service each time, particularly in Ipswich hospital. Nevertheless, we face a huge challenge and have to be open and honest about the task ahead. The Government has invested in the frontline and we have 11,000 more doctors and 10,300 more nurses than in May 2010. Yet demand has grown at an even faster rate and I entirely accept that more resources are required, and that means more cash, both for the NHS and social care. The next question is where that funding comes from. Some MPs are calling for a cross-party convention on how we fund the NHS. I welcome the idea in principle but to my mind any such project must surely be prepared to look at every option on the table if we are to build a lasting solution. For example, I believe pharmacies could play a much greater role in building truly integrated local healthcare. At a recent Parliamentary debate we heard how they could take over non-urgent services, relieving pressure on GPs and A&E. Ultimately there is no easy answer. Yet for all the stress and strain of NHS winter peak demand, one positive is that we may finally be moving to the broad, bold debate that could lead to lasting reform.

It’s a very Happy New Year at Hadleigh Market with free stalls available this spring
Hadleigh Market
As many locals know, work has been underway to try and improve the weekly, Friday morning market in Hadleigh and, as a way of trying to encourage more new stalls to the market, Babergh District Council have agreed to offer free pitches to stallholders this Spring. The market is held every Friday between 9am and 2pm and, since investing funds into improving the market, stallholder numbers have increased from an average of three to a weekly average of eight stalls and the regular traders selling fruit and veg, fresh fish and cheese have been joined by a variety of new stalls selling freshly baked cakes, local honey, hot Thai food, homemade candles, fresh flowers, freshly cooked Indian food, local sausages and freshly baked bread. However we are always trying to increase the variety and we strive to make the market the best it can be so to be able to offer out free spring pitches is a huge asset. Although the market is held weekly, stallholders are under no obligation to book every week and we encourage new traders to pick and choose their dates with no minimum number of weeks required and no long term commitment required. We are currently taking bookings up to the end of February, the pitch fee is £15 per market and, in return for every week that you book in January and February, you will get that number back totally free of charge in March, April and May on dates of your choice. For example if you book and pay for Friday January 27th, Friday February 3rd and Friday February 10th then you can have three free weeks on any Friday between March 3rd and May 26th! You are able to do as many or as few weeks as you like, there is no commitment required. To book a stall or to simply find out more information about the market, please call Suffolk Market Events on 07704 627973 or email Justine@suffolkmarketevents.co.uk Finally, what do you, the customer think of the improvements that have been made to Hadleigh market? What else would you like to see at the market and what do you think would make the market even better? Markets are, after all, provided for the customer so if you have any feedback or suggestions, I’d really like to like to hear from you and, in the meantime, I look forward to meeting lots of local shoppers (and new stallholders) at the market over the coming months. Hadleigh market is held every Friday morning from 9am until 2pm on the Market Place off the High Street. To enquire about a stall, to leave any feedback or to simply get in touch, call Suffolk Market Events on 07704 627973 or email Justine@suffolkmarketevents.co.uk www.suffolkmarketevents.co.uk
Held every Friday morning on the Market Place with stalls selling local chutneys, fresh bread, fruit and veg, fresh fish, pastries & lots more…. For further information & to book a stall contact justine@suffolkmarketevents.co.uk T: 07704 627 973 www.suffolkmarketevents.co.uk

Rotary Review
CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONS: Wow!! Christmas has been and gone - it does not seem long since the routes for the collections were being published and now the float is back in its summer quarters. This year it was not possible to complete the collection in the High Street on Christmas Eve due to lack of manpower for, perhaps, only the second time in 35 years. However it is becoming more and more difficult to man and park the float that it may not return - with a further House to House taking its place. All will be revealed in December. As for the remaining collections, they were all very good with the record for one night being broken twice on consecutive nights. The house to house produced £1100.58 and Morrisons car park £510.24 giving a grand total of £1610.82. Members would like to thank very much indeed everyone who gave so generously and Morrisons for allowing two daytime collections at the store. Father Christmas met many, many children who were all delighted to see him. The success of these collections is dependent upon a small and enthusiastic group and grateful thanks go to them all: the men in red - Richard Whiting, Trevor Stockton, John Robinson and Mike Sands; the collectors - George Wyatt, Colin Brown, Carolyn Cammack, Kate Sands, Suzanne Dymond plus a number of Rotarians of course; towing duties were shared by Gary Hambling of Hambling Utility Services who also provided the generator for the lights, Simon Foster of Crockatt Garage and Derek Curtis. The Club is also grateful to Ainger Holbrows for the loan of a battery, Hadleigh Bowling Club for allowing the parking of the float at their premises during the collection period and finally to Fred Pratt and family for looking after the float for the rest of the year. The funds have been distributed between Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance, Bumblebee Childrens Charity (based in Sproughton and supporting young children with Physical difficulties), Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding, Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Welfare Committee, Hadleigh 1st Responders and East Anglia Air Ambulance. CLUB EVENTS: the tradtional Champagne Brunch was held early in January and attended by all members and partners returning to its former venue of The George Hintlesham where we were made very welcome and served an excellent breakfast. Many thanks to management and staff who opened especially for us. MEMBERSHIP: The Club has now settled happily at The Kings Head in Hadleigh meeting lunchtime 12.30 for 1pm on 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday of the month where members enjoy an excellent 2 course meal. Visitors are very welcome to join us to find out more about the Club and Rotary in general. Just contact David 01473 827226 a couple of days before the meeting. It is also pleasing to report that membership is increasing and at the last meeting Kay Baker, solicitor at Gotelees, became a full member. Welcome Kay!! Members would like to wish all readers a Very Happy New Year.

“Belly dance is different. It is highly effective in increasing strength, flexibility and agility and is very sociable. It certainly isn’t as easy as people think but you can achieve competency fairly quickly.” says Lorraine Pendleton, Belly Dance Instructor. “You do not have to show your belly or have any special kit to come to classes and generally the dance is done with bare feet”. The Sudbury Belly Dance group are based in Sudbury AFC Dance Studio and classes are on a Monday from 7.30-8.30. For more information contact Lorraine on 07807 635198.

New Lawyer appointed at Gotelee Solicitors
We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new lawyer, Kay Baker who brings Tax, Wills, Powers of Attorney and Probate expertise and has acted for elderly and vulnerable clients, as well as families and business people needing advice on tax planning. Kay qualified as a solicitor in 2007 and is a fully accredited member of Solicitors for the Elderly and holds the Older Client Care in Practice Award. She is also a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. With a particular interest in contentious probate matters, she is one of the very few solicitors in the local area to be a full member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists. She says “I am delighted to join Gotelee and help the community of Hadleigh. Gotelee has an outstanding reputation and I am very much looking forward to helping contribute to the firm’s continued success.” Peter Crix, Head of the Department and who also works with the Hadleigh community, says “Kay is the latest addition to a team that has expanded substantially recently and her arrival will add another string to our bow, particularly given her expertise in acting for elderly and vulnerable clients.” In addition to this, Kay has been working with Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance (HDAA) to help Gotelee become a dementia friendly business. The aim of the HDAA campaign is to raise awareness and understanding of dementia, helping those with dementia and their families to live well. Kay Baker understands the difficulties facing those with dementia and their carers, legally and practically. “If at all possible, planning for a time when you are unable to manage your own affairs should be done well in advance. Having a welldrafted, up-to-date will and a Lasting Power of Attorney makes life much easier for your family and carers. However, if you are trying to deal with the affairs of someone who has already lost mental capacity, we can obtain an order from the Court of Protection to enable you to gain legal authority to do so.” Another area of law which Kay can assist with is if you or a loved one are receiving or in need of care, at home or in a care/nursing home, it may be that the NHS should be paying for that care in its entirety. Unlike financial support from Social Services, this funding is not means tested and is available regardless of your financial situation. If you or your family member has significant physical or mental health needs and it can be established that the need is a primary need for health care rather than social care, then you or they may qualify for free care. The NHS examine 12 healthcare domains in assessing you for continuing care funding, including behavioural needs, mobility, continence and cognition. It is even possible to claim a refund on care fees paid even after your relative’s death. To speak with Kay on any of these matters, please contact her on 01473 822102 or email kay.baker@gotelee.co.uk
Armchair Players
our January meeting we read Costa Del Packet by Anthony Booth (not to be confused with Tony Booth, Cherie Blair’s father). This is a comedy set in Spain where the holiday makers arrive to find that the hotel is still in the process of being built. Our next meeting is on 13th February 7.30pm at The George, Hadleigh when we will be reading Bunkered by Lynn Brittney - think Dad’s Army (except it is the Navy) in a forgotten underground secret bunker. We are a play reading group that meet on the second Monday of each month at The George, Hadleigh. New members welcome.

Hadleigh Cycling Club Half-price kit offer
There was a terrific turn out for January's Committee meeting. 2017 could be a hectic year with plans to develop the Junior Club, survey club members, set up courses for ladies and novice adult riders and possibly run a Gayford Flyer Mk3. Ryan Gooderham and Molly Cutmore attended their first meeting as Junior reps and provided some useful insights into how the Club could support young riders. The new Chairman, Mike Motteram said, "Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keen to promote the Club and we're offering one item of kit at half-price to all members in 2017." Individual membership is £10 and family membership is £30. In addition, members receive discounts at Sunny Day Cycleworks and The Pedal House. Winter is usually a tough season for cyclists with many resorting to the turbo. However, a hardy bunch of riders have been heading out from Hadleigh on Sunday mornings. Led by Chris Heron, the rides start at 9am from the George and are no faster than 15mph. The destination is Starbucks on the A12. No one is dropped and the emphasis is on chatting rather than racing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always worth checking the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook if the weather looks dubious as the rides may be cancelled. For more information on the Club visit www.hadleighcyclingclub.org or email or connect with the club via Facebook: Hadleigh Cycling Club @HadleighCycling

Fed up with hard water and lime scale? Fitting a water softener will save you money and time
East Anglia has some of the hardest water in Great Britain. The scale build up on shower screens and taps, that ring of scum in the basin, and limescale in kettles are some of the visible consequences of hard water. We have to resort to using large amounts of washing powder, conditioner, extra salts in the dish washer and expensive bathroom cleaning products to overcome the dreaded scale. In my professional capacity Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve replaced countless appliances that should have had a longer service life. Scale blocks water ways in boilers and hot water pipes. Heating elements in hot water cylinders and electric showers get encrusted and fail. All these problems can be solved by fitting an ion exchange water softener. Laundered clothes will feel softer, after showering your skin will feel smoother, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use far less detergents and the adverse effects on your plumbing system will start to reverse. If you would like to know more, give me a call. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to show you a simple 15 minute demonstration and provide an installation survey. A typical installation can be done in one day. Ring Nick Marno at Brett Valley Installations on 01206 337316 or 07896 054439 or email nickmarno@tiscali.co.uk

Salsa Dancing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A great way to keep fit if the gym is just not for you
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a New Year, many of us have signed up for months of body reconditioning in a gym/studio or personal trainer with all the determination of losing weight, getting fit or just finding a healthy hobby. Whether we manage to maintain this new beginning - depends on your goals, stamina and will power but so many of us will drop out by mid-February and resort to the odd walk in the park with the kids. Exercise requires an inner strength generated from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; word. FUN. In 2005, I found myself struggling to do up the fly of my size 20 jeans, struggling to find boots to fit my ever-increasing calves and there was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was going to try the gym again, so as I had a love for music and all things Spanish, I decide to try SALSA DANCING and have never looked back. I lost 5 stone dancing Salsa, starting by attending a little class once a week to become a professional performer, dance director and qualified teacher. My love for Salsa comes second only to my family (including my two dogs), I am passionate about teaching and I am delighted to introduce this great dance form to Hadleigh. So why should you give it a go? FUN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Salsa Latin Music has a been one of the most popular dance music throughout the world. This exciting and intoxicating music has so many styles and speeds that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bound to find the kind that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy. From the Sexy sophistication of LA/New York/Puerto Rican ON1/ON2 - Jolly Cuban Style or Super-Fast Jive like Cali (Colombian Style), Salsa is danced by all generations, from Sixteen to Sixty. HEALTH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Once confident on the dance floor, you are expected to burn between 15-20 calories per minute of dance. The heat energy generated while dancing Salsa is fantastic. With very little impact on your knees and constant but moderate speed interval use of your legs, bum and tummy means rapid toning results are visible with regular attendance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find this way of exercise will also increase your need to drink loads of WATER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vital of healthy living, lowering blood pressure and reducing heart disease. COMMUNITY - The Salsa community, wherever they may be, are ONE COMMUNITY. We are probably one of the friendliest and supportive bunch of people you would ever meet. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain friends who travel to all the best clubs in the area each week so going to a club alone is never frowned upon because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always bump into a friend. GLOBAL - Salsa dancing is all over the world so the chances are, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on holiday somewhere and a Salsa Club will be just around the corner. You could also join one of the multiple Salsa Holidays that are held throughout the UK and the world. Could Salsa be for you? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know until you give it a go.

Two tables of diners thoroughly enjoyed their meal and a relaxed chat over coffee when all had been consumed. Members are looking forward to the second half of the Fidelis year with an interesting programme of speakers, outings and walks for their enjoyment. They are also planning to get involved in the forthcoming Hadleigh Festival of Gardening and Art this year.

Partridges Staff Raise Funds for the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance
The Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff at Partridges. Instead of sending Christmas Cards to colleagues in store they donated what they would have spent on cards and made a generous donation to the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance. Tracey at the HDAA said “this was a wonderful surprise! We received an email from Jean in January telling us what the colleagues had done. We are incredibly grateful. All monies raised for the Alliance go towards making Hadleigh a dementia friendly community.” Jean from Partridges said “This is an idea that was started quite a few years ago and each Christmas we have a bit of a chat as to which local charity we should send the monies raised too. Normally something close to our hearts….” For more information on how to get involved in supporting the HDAA work in working to become a dementia friendly Hadleigh visit the new website at: www.hadleighdementiafriends.co.uk

Programme, which led to them being given this wonderful opportunity. Hadleigh High School were lucky enough to be one of the only schools in the UK to take part in this programme so far, and they now have two members of staff trained with VR. All Key Stage 3 students had the chance to take part, with a few Year 10 and 11 students too. The VR tours were focused on Geography and History and the following list shows what each year learnt about: Year 7 – Ancient Rome Year 8 – Wonders of the World, climate change Year 9 – World War 1 Year 10 – Castle tour Year 11 – Martin Luther King A Year 10 student told us: ‘It was great to work with exciting, new technology to enrich our education.’ The school would like to thank Google for this incredible experience and would also like to thank Switch Forum for their efforts in organising this event’.
Pupil Leadership: Autumn Term Update Our newly appointed Pupil Leadership Team had a busy first term organising a variety of whole school events, working with our feeder Primary Schools, supporting school events, working with organisations in our local community and providing a wide variety of peer support. We would like to take this opportunity to share with you the valuable work they have done so far. Our Transition Coaches have been invaluable to both helping our Year 7 students settle in as well as providing support to the Year 7 Tutor team. Not only have they been a friendly face in a sea of strangers in those first few ! weeks but have also created and delivered activities during tutor time that have provided support and helped the year group settle into our school community The Junior Sports Prefects successful ran Primary festivals in Cross Country and Tag Rugby which was enjoyed by Year 6 students from our feeder schools. On top of this, they also organised the highly anticipated Year 7 and Year 8 inter-House Dodgeball tournaments. As if this wasn’t enough, they have also supported a number of lunchtime and after school sports clubs and taken part in a Sports Leadership Course. Our Junior House Prefects organised and hosted the much contested interHouse Quiz, as well as introduce the ‘Great Hadleigh High Bake Off’. This was greatly received by all students with an overwhelming number of cakes entered showing some amazing decorating skills. After judging, the cakes were then sold during break and lunch times with the proceeds being donated to the House charities. They have also organised and delivered the termly House assemblies and attended House Rep meetings with Years 7, 8, 9 & 10 House Reps to discuss pupil perception of the House system and ideas to improve this. They will use this information to further develop the House system. The School Prefects have developed and now run a Key Stage 3 Science Club and are in the process of creating Hadleigh Music News as well as other initiatives for their respective departments. On top of this, they supported the School’s Open Evening, several Parents’ Evenings and the Year 11 Post 16 Evening. Our Prefect Leaders are getting ready to launch HadCast, a monthly podcast they have developed that will be played during registration to all students. This will serve as a platform to showcase all the things going on inside and outside of school, celebrate successes as well as investigate any issues/concerns raised by students. They have also done a fantastic job organising and managing their duty teams which provide invaluable support to both staff and students.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre
‘When you’re in pain, it’s easy to stay at home alone. RDA – the people and the horses – are a reason to get out and face the world’. That’s a quote from the Riding for the Disabled Association webpage. You’ll be reading this blog in February, when 2017 is well under way. The New Year celebrations will be a distant memory, but did you see that disabled riders were recognized in the New Years Honors List? Showing that its WHAT YOU CAN DO that really does count. David Lee Pearson (pictured) received a knighthood and Sophie Christiansen was made CBE. They and team GB have put Paralympic dressage riding firmly on the map. Inspirational you could say. Our hunt for two big horses to carry our own adult riders to these same heights continues. We have been fortunate to receive a grant from the RDA towards the cost of their purchase, so all we have to do now is locate the elusive equines. I wonder what Parys, the bossy doyenne of the herd, will say when her supremacy is challenged? Babs and I continue to work what magic we can in our room; its so nice to be warm and dry whilst the rest of the Shelley herd works outside in the winter weather. I see loads of hay being distributed, feeds being mixed, water tubs filled and rugs being adjusted. All part of the daily care for the ponies that underpins the work they do, and it’s the Shelley team of volunteers that keeps us all in good nick. Thank you everyone!

French’s Care Haven and Care Farm
As you would expect the winter has been tough for us housing and feeding the rescued animals at French’s, with the outside work involved in the care and cleaning it is an enormous task when you have little help and the weather is cold and wet. We have a vacancy for an apprentice to start with us, it is hard work but very rewarding, already we have had two apprentices that have completed their apprenticeship with us and gained a qualification, we are now ready to take our third. If you or anyone you know are interested in the position please contact Jann, we would love to hear from you. This month’s task is to sort out and re-decorate a room we have for the purpose of a teaching and activity space, for new proposed projects to help Suffolk’s vulnerable people and those who need help getting back to work. We are looking for funding for this project if anyone could help? This month we have students at Essex University offering a volunteering day to come along and clear the room ready for us to decorate and furnish, they will also give the Donkeys area an early spring clean, which will make those dear Donkeys smile I am sure! This is such a help to us and we would love other colleges and schools to offer help working with us on projects, we welcome anyone who would like to put us forward to their local educational schools/centres and come on board with us. If you have a project you would like French’s to work with you on, or think would be a good project for us to do, then please let us know by contacting Jann. The same applies to any local company that are keen to promote their business while supporting French’s good causes for Suffolk’s vulnerable animals and people. We do the best we can to promote our sponsors in the media, as we do appreciate the help of their sponsorship and the exchange from a business point of view, so we are only too pleased to help pay them back through media and boarded promotion. Next month we should have a date for our spring Quiz night, keep an eye out for the date in this magazine and on posters, a good fun fish and chip night is always looked forward to by us and the wonderful people who organise the evening, their friends, families and our supporters play a fantastic role in making it a successful night that cannot be missed, defiantly one for your diary. French’s hope all our readers have a good 2017 and continue to support us. URGENTLY NEEDED....Hay and straw for our rescued horses and Donkeys, if you or someone you know has some spare hay or straw sitting in their barn, please pass it on to us, our animals get through so much in the winter months and your hay or straw would be very much appreciated. Thank you VOLUNTEERS, SPONSORS AND FUND RAISERS NEEDED Please contact: Jann Turner 01473 833944 / 07747 755556 Email: jann.turner@hotmail.co.uk

Hadleigh and District Gardening Club
Our meeting Monday January 9th Our first speaker for the new year was Peter Miller from King's seeds who gave an entertaining talk which involved a brief history of this long established business. William King apparently had sent vegetable seeds to Charles Darwin no less. The photograph shows Peter Miller (on the right) with past president John Rye and the actual packaging used in the transaction, addressed to Darwin. The company is trying to reintroduce the seed varieties that were sent. As well as well as talking about other prestigious members of the company, such as N.W. King who became president of the National Sweet Pea Society, Peter also gave advice on successful seed growing. His top tips are always to use seed sowing compost, to water with tap water as rainwater from butts maybe contaminated, and not to sow seed too early. There is apparently, a countryman's well established way of testing if the soil is warm enough which he shared with the group, but I will just say late April is a good time as a general rule! Our next meeting – Monday February 13th The next item on our programme is a visit to Anglesey Abbey gardens to enjoy some early spring bulbs. This will be on Monday February 13th. We are always happy to welcome new members and would be pleased to see you there. If you are interested in joining us for this visit please telephone 01473 517608 for further details. We will be back at the town hall in March - more details next month. Andy Leeder, Chairman
East Anglian Garden Group
The East Anglian Garden Group was founded more than 40 years ago by some of East Anglia’s leading horticulturalists. Today it is an active and enthusiastic group of keen gardeners, both professional and amateur, with a wide range of interests within this field. We hold monthly meetings at Hitcham Village Hall, on Saturdays at 2.30 pm from October through to April, with illustrated talks from expert speakers, covering all aspects of plant usage, cultivation and design. After the lecture, we enjoy tea and refreshments provided by the members, where we have the chance to socialise, and share knowledge with other gardeners. At every meeting there is the opportunity to buy donated plants and gardening books, at very reasonable prices. Throughout the year, we organise outings to private gardens, botanic gardens and specialist nurseries. There is also an annual garden holiday, this year we will be spending 3 days visiting wonderful gardens in Derbyshire, (places still available), and in midsummer we hold an evening social event, in a member’s garden, where we enjoy a delicious supper. We are always hoping to recruit new and enthusiastic members, and for a modest subscription of £12 per annum, members are entitled to attend all talks and meetings. Outings and our annual Celebrity Speaker do have a small extra charge to cover costs if necessary. Visitors can attend a meeting for £5. On February 18th 2017, our Celebrity Speaker is Matthew Wilson, winner of the ‘People’s Choice’ Garden at Chelsea last year, with his ‘Garden for Yorkshire’; Channel 4’s Landscape Man, and regular panellist on Gardeners Question Time. He spent 10 years at the RHS as curator at Harlow Carr and then Hyde Hall. His talk is entitled ‘Star Plants for Small Gardens’. He will be telling us how to fill our gardens with drama, with plants for seasonal interest, so that the garden can look striking at any time of year. Tickets for this event, on February 18th, are £10 for non- members and £5 for members, including tea. Those, and membership information are available from the Secretary, Matthew Long on email flagpartnership@btinternet.com or phone 01449 741551. Our speaker for March 4th is Dave Ward, Director of Horticulture, lecturing on Beth Chatto Gardens, Past Present and Future. If you love gardening, and want to meet friendly new faces, come along and join us, we look forward to welcoming you. www.eastangliangardengroup.onesuffolk.net

Down to Earth ...with Dave With Christmas gone and the arrival of a new year, now is perhaps the time for some reflection and blessing counting. We consider ourselves very lucky to have picked Hadleigh as a new place to live some eleven years ago. We moved from a big old house in Essex, in need of constant maintenance that, in winter even had ice on the INSIDE of the windows! to a modern, easy to warm and maintain house in the very centre of a very pleasant community. Within walking distance we have access to good shops, including surely the best hardware store and butchers for miles, and superstores not far away. An excellent health centre that, in spite of problems with the health service, still seems to cope, this is all the more needed as we get older, and a regular bus service to Ipswich and Sudbury which, for the moment at least, is free. Close family live nearby, very good friends have moved from Dorset and Sussex and are now living in Long Melford and Sudbury, two very pleasant places, along with Lavenham, that are on our frequent must visit destinations. We belong to numerous friendly groups that take up a fair bit of our time, not least, two gardening groups. There is always a garden to visit or a speaker to sometimes amuse, or at least keep up the interest. There are more than enough restaurants and pubs within walking distance or a short drive, and whilst there is a swimming pool and a gym, who needs them when my fitness centre is my large allotment. Even at this time of year vegetables are brought home on a regular basis, and you don't get that from a gym workout. Nothing is perfect however. Who thought it was a good idea to virtually close the police station? and I dread going on the A12 back into Essex. No article is complete without some mention of what is going on down on the allotment and in the garden. The daffodils are showing plenty of green shoots and the first flowers can be expected soon. It all depends on what sort of weather we get. The first early potatoes have been bought and are laid out in egg trays to chit in the shed. There is no rush to plant them out as any growth would only be killed off by a frost. This year I have gone back to the variety 'Rocket' and only these first earlies will be grown. This year's seed selection has arrived by post from Kings seeds, they will be safely stored in a tin box and gradually sown as and when it says on the packet, some in the greenhouse in seed trays when there is room, and some direct sown on the allotment. At present you can't move in the greenhouse due to the standard fuchsias stored in there. The fleece covers used last year were a failure and the plants only just survived. So this year they have been kept in the greenhouse, a bit cramped, but they do look a lot happier. That's all for this time, Dave
The Hadleigh Thrift Shop Loyalty Scheme
The winner of this month’s £50 prize is C. Webb, and the second prize, which has been donated by Adnams in Hadleigh, goes to Kay Lobar. Some of the shops etc. have agreed to sponsor the scheme for the next year, but we do need some more to do the same. At the beginning of the year we paid £420 for the printing of the cards that are stamped, and received £510 sponsorship money. £600 was used for the prize money, leaving a shortfall that was covered by the Thrift Shop. We do not mind, but a few more sponsors would be welcome. If you would like to join the scheme please contact Barbara on 01473 828800, bearing in mind that in the not too distant future more cards will need to be printed.

Early December I realised that the Christmas Tree wasn't in place in Market Square. I then searched the November and December issues of your Village Edition which we receive and could not find the usual advert for the Lights Switch On. Also I could not find the fact that the event was not happening this year published anywhere. I was disappointed so I made some enquiries as to why. I understand that in the past a voluntary Working Group has organised the event but due to a lack of volunteers (like so many organisations today) decided not to do one for 2016. Also although the Chamber of Commerce has previously provided the tree, in recent years it has instead been supplied by a local company. The Town Council has provided admin and legal support but decided not to take on the event when the Working Group decided not to continue. As an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;attendeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the event has had a variety of things going on usually provided by local groups/people. It seems to me that it brought people into the town and would I thought be good for the local businesses that were open. Accepting that volunteers are hard to get and it often falls on the same people, can the Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce not get together to do something for next year as otherwise another local events stops for good? John Sones
Dear Sir, James and Barbara Dent (Letters, January HCN) suggest East House as a redevelopment possibility for a much needed boutique hotel in Hadleigh. I agree that such a building would be useful to support our historic and vibrant town; Hadleigh is an excellent visitor destination in its own right and a good location as a centre for further exploration of the area. However, an alternative site is soon to become available. Babergh District Council are moving out of their Corks Lane offices into Ipswich and their vacated building could be a perfect location for a hotel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situated beside the river and alongside one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the country and presents a wonderful view of Hadleigh. As Corks Lane is a substantial site it may provide an opportunity for a mixed use development, including a hotel but also offices, housing and community space. With the loss of jobs and potential spending power in Hadleigh resulting from its office closure, Babergh now has the chance to mitigate these adverse effects. To make this a success we need imaginative thinking and the engagement of Babergh with the people of Hadleigh regarding the future of this landmark property. Val Haines

It is with great sadness we heard of the closure of Friars Hall Nursing Home and in such circumstances and so close to Christmas. Friars Hall had provided care for vulnerable adults for many years and was a warm and friendly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Was that its downfall I wonder, being a home not a business? It is all well and good Suffolk County Council holding all this money in reserves for a rainy day and not funding services adequately - I would like to invite them to explain their stance on this to the residents of Friars Hall and their families.

As a resident of Castle Road, I share Nick Webber's disappointment (January HCN), Sue Clements' concern (December HCN) and the anger of over 100 signatories of a petition to Babergh DC, about the granting of planning permission for the building of 14 homes on a sliver of land overlooking the by pass, and many of the residents of Castle Road, due to their size and position! In my job and volunteer roles, I have to justify my decisions, give rationale for my opinions and provide theoretical or legal reasons for my arguments. The Town Council gave very good, sound reasons for recommending refusal for this application, and listened to the objections of local residents. All the more disappointing then, that without anyone having to demonstrate why this development would be good for the environment, the town, the trees, the wildlife, the residents, the sewerage system, the schools, the traffic, the pollution, the birds, the noise, etc it was approved by Babergh.

GREAT WAR NEWS FEBRUARY 2017 Wed 14 Feb Private Fred Branch from 124 Angel Street who transferred from the Hussars writes, ‘I hope you are having a little warmer weather than we are getting, for the last fortnight has been the coldest any of the lads can remember, but it is a bit healthier than the rain and the mud. I have now transferred to the Machine Gun Corps and its a bit more sporting. I have been on the Somme front ever since I came out the last time and have been through most of the villages captured in the great push to Le Sars. I saw High Wood and Devil’s (Delville) Wood, or rather what was left of them and that is only a few shrapnel riddled stumps. The questions and arguments among ourselves are mostly about peace. The majority are convinced that four months will see the finish. I hope they are right’. (as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day)
Wed 28 Feb Residents of this district have an opportunity brought close home to them for helping to provide Church Army Huts for our soldiers. Next Saturday afternoon at three o’clock, a sale of work and household goods will be held at Mrs Philip Wilson’s house, in George Street (East House), in response to the appeal for funds. A strenuous effort is being made by the Church Army to add some eighty more recreation huts to the sixty that have already been erected along the Somme front. It is said that no one who has not been in the Army can have the least idea what a real blessing these huts are to the men, affording as they do shelter, warmth, food, music, reading, a place to write letters and to hold religious services. There cannot be too many of them in France – and there are not enough. It takes £300 to build a hut, £100 to equip it and £5 per week to keep on going.

SKy Watch The Carrington Event
by Neil Norman
Let me take you back some 158 years to the year 1859, Queen Victoria was beginning her 21st year as monarch the national portrait gallery opened, the first post box was being erected and Charles Darwin's. The origin of species is released, immediately selling out its initial print run, but i want to draw your attention to an event in astronomy that was discovered by amateur astronomer Richard Carrington on September 1st, the first observation of a solar flare. Solar flare occur on the Sun and around areas of Sunspots and in very basic terms is a sudden flash of intense light a sudden release of a vast amount of energy, and larger outbursts can release 1x10 (follow by 25 zero's) Jouls of energy, that's equal to 1 billion megatons of TNT. These flares happen on a regular basics but when one of these flares are aimed at the Earth, we have a massive problem as occurred on September 1st 1859. The storm occurred during solar cycle 10 (1855-1867) and a coronal mass ejection hit the Earth. A coronal mass ejection is when a huge blast of material is basically spat out from the Sun and blasts out into space at super fast speeds of 400 km/s these blasts usually take around 2 days to reach Earth. Events such as this are estimated to happen every couple of hundred years or so, and a similar one happened in 2012, but the Earth was not in the firing line thankfully. From August 28 to September 2, 1859 a large amount of Sunspots appeared on the Suns surface. On September 1st and just before noon, Richard Carrington observed the solar flare that was associated with a major coronal mass ejection that travelled directly toward Earth taking just 17.6 hours to travel the 93.000.000 miles distance. The effect on Earth was aurora's being seen as far south as the equator and being so bright in Northern hemisphere that people could read books by it, gold miners in America awoke and made breakfast believing it was daylight. Telegraph systems over Europe and North America failed, and even gave some operators electric shocks. Pylons threw out sparks. Some telegraph operators could continue sending messages despite having their power supplies disconnected. Less severe storms have occurred in 1921 and 1960, and widespread radio disruption was reported. A storm in March 1989 knocked power out over a large area of Quebec, Canada. So, if a Carrington event happened today what would happen? Put simply, the world would fall apart. Power would be lost on a major scale taking years to repair fully. Satellites would be destroyed with their electronics failing, there would be no phones nor TV, GPS would fail, the whole technological infrastructure would collapse. The financial cost of this would be literally trillions of pounds. Imagine large cities across the world without power for a week, month or even a year? A scary thought, but it shows us the power of the Sun; that yellow ball of light we all take for granted every day. Any questions please email me on neilnorman03@gmail.com I would like to wish my fiancee, Zoe, a very happy birthday for the 18th. Neil Norman

WITH LOVE FROM SUFFOLK 12A
This film was made on a tight budget and sets out to involve us in helping to celebrate all things Suffolk ! It is a feature film which celebrates love in all its forms – eight heart warming tales about the unique bonds that exists between characters living in this county – it is an interesting mix – some funny, some poignant, others not so, but all help to make up the parcel that is strictly Suffolk ! As a film it is interesting to see what can be achieved on such a small film budget, and definitely one that demands our respect. The film's locations are many stranded , set in Ipswich and locations that are an essential part of the production. Admission to our films is £ 3.50 for adults and £ 2.50 for an accompanied child. Our refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval in both films - tea, coffee, squash, and choc ices – both milk and plain.

The Chair advised that she had received a reply thanking her for the information but still expressing disappointment that a representative from Hadleigh Town Council had not attended the meeting. The Clerk reported that an e.mail had been sent to Babergh District Councillor Burgoyne asking that Hadleigh Town Council be informed of future Hadleigh planning applications being considered by Committee. Councillor Shearly-Sanders asked if any further information had been received regarding the Royal Bengal Restaurant. The Clerk advised that to date no information had been received. This would be one of the items raised with Babergh District Council’s new Chief Executive Officer. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:The Chair dealt with the two applications together: B/16/00114/ADV Tresses, 56 High Street Application for Advertisement Consent – Erection of 1 no. externally illuminated signboard (retention of) Refusal was recommended (Voting was 9 for and 1 abstention) B/16/01629/LBC Tresses, 56 High Street, Application for Listed Building Consent – Erection of 1 no. externally illuminated signboard (retention of) Refusal was recommended (Voting was 9 for and 1 abstention). The reasons for refusal were that there are no illuminated signs on the High Street and to approve this one would set a precedent for more applications to be submitted. Hadleigh Town Council feels that illuminated signs within the conservation area are not appropriate. B/16/01444/LBC 124 Benton Street, Application for Listed Building Consent – Repairs to beams and insertion of windows to front elevation, Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous). B/16/01579/ROC Primo Manufacturing Ltd, Unit 46 , Application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act (1990) to vary condition 5 attached to Planning Permission B/15/00164 – Change BREEAM Excellent Rating to a Good Rating with aspiration of achieving Very Good.

Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/16/01701/FUL Greenways, 7 Bridge Street, Erection of 2 no. dwellings (following demolition of existing bungalow). Refusal was recommended (Voting was unanimous). The reasons for refusal are: This is an inappropriate development within the Conservation Area. The design of the properties is not in keeping with those around it. The surrounding properties are all listed. The top floor will be overlooking neighbours. There will be an issue with lighting due to all the proposed glass windows. It will have a negative impact on heritage assets. The Committee will ask the District Councillor to request a site visit and that the subsequent decision be made by Committee. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The Chair advised that the Group were still waiting to have a meeting with Bill Newman. Another e.mail had been sent requesting dates as until this meeting had taken place no further work could take place. Councillor Cook advised members to read the correspondence in the EADT concerning the judicial review over the planning application at East Bergholt.
Councillor Shearly-Sanders advised that this had been discussed at the Babergh Alliance of Parish and Town Councils meeting. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Clerk pointed out that the approved planning application for the Land at Castle Road had 33 conditions attached to it, some of which were requesting documentation which it was felt should have been part of the application when it was submitted. The document had been sent to the Local Council Public Advisory Service who had advised that, in their opinion, this should not have been given full approval. It was agreed that a letter be sent to the Planning Department, copied to the Chief Executive Officer, requesting an explanation on why there were so many conditions and should this have received full approval or outline planning approval and under what description the piece of land could be sold. It was commented on that Babergh District Council have to approve an application in order to obtain the New Homes Loans monies. A discussion took place on the concerns over Babergh District Council’s competence. It had been agreed at full Council that a meeting be arranged with the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer and the Clerk would be inviting him to attend the Town Council offices on Thursday, 23rd February 2017 for an informal meeting. It was agreed that he be advised that this is a matter of urgency as Hadleigh Town Council have been discussing taking unresolved issues to the ombudsman but are giving him the opportunity to comment and possibly resolve them. The Clerk advised that there is a procedure to follow when contacting the Ombudsman and the first step is the meeting with the Chief Executive Officer. Councillor Byrne asked if the Clerk would submit the recommendations made by the Committee by application on Babergh District Council’s website as the e.mail submitted is including all comments on all applications. The Clerk advised that Hadleigh Town Council would be logging onto Babergh’s website to make comments in future. Councillor Byrne hoped that when the McCarthy Stone planning application was brought before Babergh District Council’s planning committee the Chair of the Committee would attend and speak on behalf of Hadleigh Town Council. The Clerk advised that she is viewing Babergh District Council’s planning agenda’s regularly and this application is not on the agenda for the next Committee meeting. Concerns were raised over the design of the bridge over the River Brett due to its height and it being stepped which is not disabled or toddler friendly. Also the Angling Club have not been invited to consult on the application and they hold the rights to the bank of the river. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.20pm. Mrs Carol A.

A fine old ash tree has to be felled Sadly, a tree of around 100 years in age has had to be taken down to its trunk. The tree, planted by Harry Aldous, a one-time resident of Mill Cottages, had become unsafe and, being beside a road and a playing field, represented a danger. The trunk has been left as it’s hollow trunk will host wildlife for many years to come. It may even send out shoots in the spring and remain alive but no longer dangerous.
Another car takes the corner too quickly This time it was around midnight on 15th January. A nonlocal driver entered the village near the top of Mill Lane on the B1070 far too fast, got onto the wrong side of the road, hit the pavement, crossed the grass verge and demolished a telegraph pole. The driver was shocked but unharmed. We look forward to the new speed limit signs being installed very soon and we shall see if they make any difference
From the Layham Archive
Whilst the job of cataloguing the Layham Archive has been taking place it has become apparent that an entry in Lucy Harwood’s diary pairs up with a photograph of one of her paintings (also in the archive) – and it features a man who some in the village will remember – Ike Cook, who lived in a cottage on Upper Street until he moved into sheltered housing in Hadleigh. Lucy Harwood lived in Kiln House from the early 1940s and was a painter – well known in the village and closely involved with the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End.
From the diary - 6 March 1944: “During the evening a local soldier home on leave came to phone (the son of Mr Cook who does odd jobs for us – fetches coal etc). He looked very paintably dark, strong features and a ready smile. It so came about that he offered to sit for me in battle dress and I am so excited. Tuesday. Isaac, that’s the young man’s name, over-slept himself this morning. He came after lunch and said he had slept until 12.30 which was perhaps just as well for he had had no sleep for 30 hours. When he turned up I found he wanted [was ready] to be painted! So I set to work. He kept very still but would talk all the while...with the obvious result – his mouth is badly painted. Wednesday. My soldier model arrived at 11.00 to the minute. I found that he was very anxious that I should get in his shoulder badges – ROYAL ARTILLERY – beneath that a scarlet square with the picture of a surrealist figure with bows and arrows. I felt it would break his heart if I failed to paint them so have probably constructed him with deformed limbs in order to include the shoulder. Friday. Painted Mr List’s mouth on Isaac’s face! List is in the corps that explodes bombs perpetually and is brother-in-law to Isaac. The latter’s leave was up and since he couldn’t sit long and talked without ceasing (very nicely and sweetly) I couldn’t do his uniform or his mouth. Then came List and there was the same battle dress and quite a pleasant mouth! A chance not to be missed. October. I had another village person wanting to buy a picture – Isaac’s sister. She said that every time her children came round here (with grandfather) they insisted on seeing the picture of ‘Uncle Isaac’. She said she would like very much to have it, but of course, it would cost too much. I said that I had an idea that the little four year old lad should buy it for 10/-. She was delighted and I knew that she could not afford more”. I wonder if the picture still hangs on the wall of a member of the family?

His â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; had a dirt floor, a leaky roof, rats getting in from a badly fitted door, plastic instead of glass in the windows, no bathroom etc. His parents had died and he had never been to school. We fixed the house for him and after a lot of persuasion managed to get him to attend the local village school. We supply everything needed, but it was very difficult for him having to be in a class with pupils so much younger than him. Each time we go he proudly show us his report card, and as a reward we arrange for him to go to the big town of Elbasan to play football. We also give him warm clothing. Emiliano is now 15 yrs. and can write small sentences in English!! We as a charity are so proud of him. As he lives in the same village as Pellumb (his story was featured last time) and we are striving to make them self sufficient, not sure how yet but we are working on it!
We are a family of ordinary people who love God and trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. We extend a really warm welcome for you to join us at any of our services, activities, courses and events.

Gotta Nice Motor? Nick needs to know!
Nick Thomson, self-confessed lover of stylishly designed cars, is heading a campaign to encourage Newton Green Golf Club members to reveal their classic vehicles. The club is staging an historic vehicle display as part of its 110th birthday celebrations, which open the annual golf week on Sunday, August 6. Nick, a Lancia enthusiast, is no stranger to such events, having been the founder organiser of the annual Lavenham Rare Breeds car show from 1996-2000. It is held in association with the village’s annual carnival, and today regularly attracts 500 entries. A more modest – perhaps 25-50 – will be aimed for at the golf club event. Nick commented: “We are aware of a number of very interesting vehicles owned by our members, and want to give them the chance to show them off. “Priority will be given to vehicles built prior to around 1970, and we hope to have some space for later built ones of rarity or special interest. Any unusual vehicle, even if it is an old army tank or commercial vehicle will be welcome. If someone has a classic Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle or suchlike in their garage, we’d love to see it. Some owners have already committed themselves to attend, and we are anxious to leave no one out.” Nick says he has had a love of classically styled cars from a young age, particularly those from Italy. “Although I am interested in what is beneath the bonnet, my main pleasure is derived from cars that have design idiosyncrasies, with a classic touch, and are fun to drive.” In particular, he has three Lancia Gammas from the 1983/84 era. All are Series 111 coupe, with 2.5 litre, four cylinder engines – with “renowned road holding, performance and a body to die for” He is a member of Lancia Motor Club. “Fiat rescued a virtually bankrupt Lancia in 1969, but kept the marque independent until fairly recently. Lancia continued to produce a stream of great models until the marque was merged with Chrysler a few years ago.” In early days much of Lancia’s production was classic engines and chassis, with customers’ coachbuilders designing and building one-off bodies. Thirteen years ago Nick followed the same dream when he acquired the chassis and 20 boxes of dismembered parts of a classic 1935 Astura, and set about building the car of his desires. The chassis, with its three-litre, V8 engine, has been fitted with an ash frame and four seater drop head aluminium body. It is a real head-turner in its dark red paintwork, and harks back to grand tourer days when the rich rallied their way across Europe to the south of France. The show-stopper (pictured above) will be among those on display at the golf club event, which also features traditional jazz and cream teas.
Hadleigh Healing Society
The news seems to be dominated by “Brexit”, terrorist acts, and the new President of America which causes us to ponder on how all this is going to impact on our lives. None of us have a crystal ball so we have to take each day as it comes. For some each day is a problem on how to get through that day. It is a challenge that they feel they cannot cope with. To feel like this, that know one cares, or would listen,brings on a feeling of isolation. We, the qualified, registered healers will listen, will talk, all in the strictest confidence to those who feel they need that “listening ear”. Please telephone: 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto: hadleighhealingsociety. org for an appointment.

From Chernobyl Childrens Life Line
In December we hosted a small group of 7 children. The girls all came from the same school as the summer group are selected from but the difference this time was that we invited children from 12-14 years of age. These children re usually outside of the selection criteria and as such would not normally be included on the program. This was then a very special trip for them as not only was it their first time in the UK they also got to experience a British Christmas which is so very different from their own which takes place on January 7th where a child my receive a packet of sweets or, as western influences start to trickle through, a present as well. Despite not having the summer weather to rely on the group were still able to enjoy a range of activities for the first two weeks of the visit and then spend the second two weeks enjoying family life over the Christmas period. We are now looking towards the summer group visit and would appeal to anyone interested in supporting us get in touch now as we have already started preparations for the childrens visit. We are asking for donations of good quality second hand clothing for age range 7 to 11 years. The children arrive with only the clothes they are wearing so both summer and winter clothes are appreciated. We do have a list of essential items that we would like to provide for them to take home, please get in touch and we will be happy to provide further details. For further information about our program or to donate clothes for the children please email or call me and I will get straight back to you. Advance notice: CHOCOLATE BINGO IS BACK: March 25th Needham Market Community Centre. Adults 6.00 children under 10 half price. A great family night out with an Easter theme and lots and lots of chocolate!! Please call for info. We are very aware that there are now more Charitable causes than ever all needing support. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supports us, you may think you only do a little but without you we could not survive.

Looking to the past at Orchard Barn
At Orchard Barn we learn from the past to improve the future. Past generations couldn’t pop down to the nearest DIY store to purchase their building materials, instead they used what was at hand. Clay dug from the ditches was used to make daub, hazel was coppiced to make wattle, trees were felled to create timber frames and shingles for the roof, flint used to face walls. Very little material was transported any distance and often it could be reused. We have clay lump blocks several hundred years old that can still be used. Want some string? Stinging nettle or rosebay willow herb fibre can be braided to create cordage. They didn’t have to worry about carbon foot prints! Of course some of these techniques take time but our ancestors didn’t have TVs, computers or mobile phones to fill their days. If you’d like to learn any of these skills then our website is orchardbarn.org.uk or contact us on 01473 658193 or 07766 054042

Sunday Special!
Sudbury Symphony Orchestra is delighted to announce that William Knight, one of Britain's most talented young clarinettist, will be their soloist in Weber’s 2nd Clarinet Concerto in their concert on Sunday 26th March. William began playing the clarinet at the age of 7, and now studies at the Royal College of Music, in 2015 he won the Clarinet Prize in their annual Woodwind Competition. He has performed at the BBC Proms and in the Barbican, The Royal Festival Hall and The Sage, Gateshead. Weber’s 2nd clarinet concerto, dating from 1811, has become one of the most important in the clarinet repertoire. It is one of the most stunning with its sheer virtuoso effects and many dramatic contrasts between the instrument's brilliant high notes and the dark, rich sonority of the lower range. We are sure you will be dazzled by William’s playing of this wonderful piece. Sudbury Symphony Orchestra will also be performing Bizet’s Symphony No 1 in C. He wrote this first symphony when he was just 17 and the work is astonishingly mature for someone so young combining remarkably sensitive writing for individual instruments in the orchestra with real confidence in his own individual style. The symphony has beautiful melodies, rich orchestration, and elegant charm and is a delight both to play and to hear. Starting the concert we have Rossini’s Overture to the Barber of Seville one of the most popular opera overtures, a lovely start to the evening. We hope you will join us for this evening of really wonderful music. Tickets: Adult £12, Child £2 Available mid February onwards from Compact Music, North Street, Sudbury and Sudbury Tourist Information (library). Or email: tickets@sudburysymphonyorchestra.com A limited number of tickets will be available on the door.

But their day at the races doesn’t go quite as they had planned…! Whilst quaffing champers and eating cheese and pickle sandwiches, the foursome have a right royal time backing horses named after Tony Christie song titles. As one by one, their horse selections are winning the friends slowly start to discover more about each other, their future and their pasts. Are the girls about to win big? Come along and see this comedy drama to find out the answer! Director Mark Scanlon, still recovering from his recent role as a pantomime pirate, says “think Calendar Girls or Dinner Ladies and you will be in the right area for Ladies' Day. This play was originally developed by the highly respected Hull Truck Theatre Company, so if you like what they have done in the past, you will love this!” Tickets are available now from The Quay Theatre Box Office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.org.uk
What Could Possibly Go Wrong………..
Long before The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong in which an amateur dramatic society experiences the horrors of what can go wrong right in front of a live audience, the fictional Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society have been resolutely presenting plays in which the scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines are forgotten and sound effects create illusions the director never imagined. Boxford Drama Group has previously produced two of the side-splitting Farndales, The Haunted Through Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle in 2006 and Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society murder Mystery in 2008, both directed by Jane Lindekam who brings back the Farndale Ladies to Boxford Village Hall with Chase Me Up Farndale Avenue, S’il Vous Plait by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr. This time the Farndale Ladies are attempting a French farce in the style of Boeing Boeing with complicated romantic encounters and no less than four doors for the cast of characters to run in and out of while trying to stick to the complicated script whilst about them props go missing and pieces of the set collapse resulting in an evening of hilarious horrors and cock-ups galore. Boxford Drama Group presents Chase Me Up Farndale Avenu, S’il Vous Plait at the Boxford Village Hall on 30th, 31st March and 1st April. Tickets are £13.00 which includes supper and will be available from the Boxford Post Office from Saturday 25th February 2017.

Facelift on the way for Newton Green Club House
A major facelift for the interior of Newton Green Golf Club is on its way. The club is to invest £40,000 to upgrade the social side of its premises, which will further enhance its suitability for functions serving both members and other user groups in the Sudbury area. Peter Philpott, chairman, confirmed the cost would be covered by a recent refund from HMRC. He said Newton had been part of a group of several hundred members’ clubs across the county that had been involved in a successful action to recover taxes paid in recent years on green fees. He continued: “Our club house is very popular with other groups staging functions, and we hope to attract additional bookings by considerably increasing its ambience. “Most of the VAT refund we have received will originally have come from people from the area who payed green fees. In one way we are giving this money back to the community in the form of better facilities for local functions, as well as enhancing the social experience of our own members and visiting golfers.” Mr Philpott said the scheme had been on the back burner for some time as the club had been using its resources to ensure the course could compare with any in the region. He continued: “Membership wise we have just had our most encouraging year for a decade, and the upgrade of the club house, and some remarkable playing successes on the course, are all part of what has been a very successful period for the club.” Work on upgrading the club is due to begin before the end of January, and will include new lighting, carpets and furnishings. The current small dining room will be developed as a stud bar to enable greater flexibility of rooms across the building.
More Trophies for Newton’s Alice Barlow
Newton Green’s Alice Barlow brought down the curtain on her outstanding season by picking up the two leading awards at the annual meeting of Suffolk Ladies’ County Golf Association. She won the Joy Winn Salver for the lowest scratch scores during the season, and the Nigel Birrell Trophy awarded by the county captain to the most outstanding golfer of the year. Alice, 18, also received her county colours. She is in her final year at Thomas Gainsborough School, Great Cornard, and will be concentrating on playing in leading women’s amateur events across the country. Over the last year she has won all the leading Suffolk ladies’ trophies, as well as being the first winner of the national junior champion of champions’ trophy, and finished seventh in the Telegraph BMW junior championships in Portugal. Also at the Suffolk presentation, Newton’s Eloise Aldous, now playing as a driving range professional, was confirmed as the coming year’s organiser of Suffolk girls’ junior golf.

Hadleigh United Football Club
Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United celebrated the New Year with a brilliant six goal victory against Long Melford at the Millfield. This was the best performance of the season. In the next match the boot was on the other foot with a six goal loss against Newmarket. A convincing defeat followed at Great Yarmouth but then there followed an evenly balanced game against Walsham which was lost narrowly by the odd goal. We also lost at Gorleston despite Hadleigh scoring the first goal of the game. The Reserves only had one match which was lost by three goals against Stowmarket Reserves at the Millfield before the festive period. A wet weekend forced the game at Woodbridge Reserves to be postponed. There was also just the one game for the Thurlow Nunn youth team against Whitton which was drawn. Felix Vardon-Barber was on target for Hadleigh’s youngsters in a splendid contest. The game at Framlingham had to be cancelled after torrential rain. The youth team are well placed in their league and play in midweek. Exciting news is that the club are starting a veterans team next season to play on Sundays. Players will be over 35 years of age and Bob Dixon is the person to contact for details. It is expected several old Hadleigh favourites will dust off their boots and get back into shape. League matches will take place and a number of local teams are already in the Veterans League. Latest draw winners were George Wyatt and Mark Ward. Ground Improvement winners were H.H Craske and Sons, both draws were made by Rick Pett at the Walsham match. HADLEIGH UNITED FIXTURES First team fixtures for February begin on Saturday 4th at home to Newmarket. On Saturday 11th we go to Saffron Walden then it’s Swaffham at the Millfield on Saturday 18th. The month ends against Ipswich Wanderers at Hadleigh on Friday 24th. The Reserves go to Wivenhoe on Saturday 4th and then they are on the road to Walsham in a cup semi-final on Wednesday 8th. Long Melford come to the Millfield on Saturday 11th before we travel to Saffron Walden on Saturday 18th Another cup semi-final takes place on a neutral ground on Saturday 25th against Woodbridge. The Thurlow Nunn youth team entertain Woodbridge on Wednesday 1st and then go to Needham Market on Thursday 16th. Any alterations will be on the club website.
