French visitors welcomed to Hadleigh Some visitors have been coming for many years and for others it was their first visit to our lovely medieval town. They were warmly welcomed at the Royal British Legion in George Street by Hadleigh and District Twinning Association members and the new town mayor Sue Angland. Friday evening was a night spent renewing friendships and making new friends at various dinner parties and BBQ’s around Hadleigh. On Saturday at their request they went to visit Cambridge where they were given a guided tour and then left to explore the city. Back in Hadleigh it was a quick change and off to the Town Hall for a delicious buffet by Cheryl Chaplin and a non-stop dance with Lindy Lou late into the night. Sunday morning saw three brave Frenchmen and our own Nick Gilbert board an oil-drum raft on the river Brett and battle their way through water pistols to come nearly last in the Scouts annual Raft Race. The afternoon was kept casual and our members were left to amuse their guests with shopping, visits to the seaside and eating. In the evening we had our formal Dinner Dance in the lovely peaceful surroundings of Hintlesham Hall Golf club where we were presented with a wrought iron cockerel- a symbol of France, which was hand painted by their very talented member Roland Verbeck. As usual the weekend was over far too quickly and on Monday morning we all gathered at Hadleigh Leisure Centre car park for our
group photograph and to make sure everyone was safely on the coach ready for the long journey home. We have lots of fundraising events throughout the year where we meet up and an active committee which does all the planning. If you are interested in joining our group contact our chairman Peter Matthews, our very hardworking secretary Jane Marsland (jemarsland@lineone.net)

BIG Lunch success and the future of HADS
GSOLICITORS IBBONS
On the 1st June 2014 a BIG lunch was held on Cox park which attracted over 200 people. The BIG lunch is a community annual event which people come together to share lunch together. The event started at 11:30am with the Diamond Lites Majorettes followed by a Magic and Punch & Judy show with Bryan Clarke AKA Professor Jingles. Then followed the Elmsett Fellowship Brass Band which provided music for all ages then Bryan done another Punch and Judy show. Food was on offer to buy including freshly made pizzas and hot and cold drinks from Kate from Expresso coffee. An ice cream van was also on hand to cool us all down with temperatures in the mid 20's one of the hottest days for the year. Local groups also had a chance to raise some funds and I would like to thank all the stall holders for taking part. Thanks to the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce for supporting the event and to Brian Riley for using his funding from Suffolk county Council via the Locality Fund.

Howard at Greene King Brewery Hello dear Readers. This month the picture shows me at the Greene King Brewery in Bury St Edmunds. When my friends Mitch and Shaun at The Brewers on the 1071 at Polstead asked if my mother and I would like to join a tour of Greene King I was delighted to be able to take part.We ascended one hundred steps to the roof of the Brewery where we had fine views of Bury St Edmunds.I was quite amazed at the scale of the operation which produces three million pints a week and employs 22,000 people. I am not a beer drinker but after the tour we enjoyed a smashing buffet and were able to taste the various beers.I started with the well known “Speckled Hen” which apparently derives its name as a result of a string of events at the MG factory.I know that many of you enjoy dinner at The Brewers at Polstead as indeed I do. The fish and chips is of legendary proportions.Why not telephone The Brewers to book a table Tel. 01787 210441. I have recently returned from a voyage to Iceland and Norway. I was so excited during our time off the Icelandic coast when a hump back whale soared out of the water just off the ship.The enormous whale slipped back down again and we saw that iconic tail disappear beneath the waves.In truth, I was not particularly taken with Iceland or Reykjavik which seemed to be particularly drab. Many years ago, I was initiated in the usual ceremony crossing the Equator.There were similar goings on as we crossed the Arctic Circle on this occasion.Of course in the Summer months, the sun hardly sets in that part of the world – quite a strange feeling. Our property dealings have been quite exciting in recent weeks. On one occasion, we had to complete a purchase within a week of receiving the papers.Everything went through.A small firm such as mine can provide the flexibility needed to seek to fulfil the aspirations of its clients.When you are instructing a solicitor the level of service that you are going to receive is more important than the fee. As always we are pleased to assist in the preparation of your Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.I think that you will find the processes fairly painless. Howard Gibbons

Trevor’s customers have been very impressed with his convenient, quick and cost-effective method of weed control for Patios, Block Pave and Stone Driveways, which is hassle free and can cost less than the Do It Yourself alternative. In addition, customers have been able to allow pets and children to play safely in the garden following weed elimination treatment. One of Trevor’s regular clients, Martin Wright, commented “I have used Trevor’s spraying service on two occasions to deal with the recurring toublesome problem of weeds on our patio and paths, the spray used by Trevor is very effective and well applied by him. This deals with the problem over a good period of time and the cost is very reasonable. A much better solution than DIY products which are not very effective and last only for a short time.” Trevor’s Garden Services provides the ideal solution to long term weed termination. Using a special, full-strength Pro Biactive formula, Trevor can easily control your annual and perennial grass problems, as well as those annoying broadleaved weeds. Trevor also recommends this special formula, 360g/lt glyphosate (which is unavailable in everyday retail outlets) for clearing out-of-control weedy ground prior to planting or sowing. We have had such a fantastic response to our professional spraying services we are booking up fast, so if you have areas of block paving or driveways, patios and paths, or a plot of ground that’s wild with weeds, call Trevor for fast, free quotations on 01473 824315 or 07850 630389 to find out more about how you can make your weeds go away the easy way!

Also I would like to thank Graham Rolfe and David Stiff for their cheques from Sudbury and District Bar Billiards League, thanks boys. The buffet was laid on for our guests and customers by Maria Shimmon (cook) who has for the last few years been a delight to work with us as a colleague. She has always gone the extra mile for our customers and presented some fantastic meals, thank you Maria. The customers had a great time, two customers gave thanks to the staff for all our hard work and for giving them a great farewell party. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff Helena Marsh and Susan Barrett, Support workers at the centre for supporting me throughout, it will be a sad day to see Angel Court close, but we must look to the future.

Very many congratulations go to Hadleigh boys (from right to left) Kern Death, Mark Oxford and James Baylham on the completion of the London Revolution 2014, an incredible achievement by them all. The London Revolution Cycle Ride took place over two days Saturday and Sunday the 17thand 18thMay and on the hottest weekend of the year so far! The route covered a distance of 190 miles and was an extremely tough challenge, in fact Kern said that it was the hardest thing he had ever done. They all did so incredibly well finishing in excellent times. Special thanks go to Kern and to James for cycling for the Alison Fracella Research Trust, a locally run charity set up in memory of Alison Fracella (nee Kettlewell) The Trust is raising money to help fund brain tumour research at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Our grateful thanks go to Kern and James for all they have raised for the Trust. Sue and Rob Kettlewell

Avast ye People of Hadleigh A most hearty thanks to the hundreds of Hadleighites that braved the burning midday sun of June 8th to attend the Great Hadleigh Duck and Raft Race organised by the Hadleigh Sea Scout Group. With a piratical theme, the raft races were a swash-buckling, sometime bilge sucking affair with fierce competition amongst the 15 racing. Past champions faced new blood, with the eventual winners being the YEOBOUYS, sporting yellow baywatch vests and the broadest of smiles. Getting off to a slow start, over 1000 ducks raced across the weir near Toppesfield Bridge and worked their way through the millpond to the finish line in the outlet stream. The winners were: 1st Duck, Gill Gladwell; 2nd, Roy Holloway; 3rd, Rowan Abbott; 4th, John Woods; 5th, Oliver Fraser. The Elite Race of blue ducks was won by Joel from Malyon Road. If you still need to collect your blue duck, contact Jonathan Moore on 07 545 545 744. The Race party at the George was bathed in glorious sunshine and the young bands did the crowd proud - a fitting endpiece for a great community day for Hadleigh.

Hadleigh Community Primary News School Camp another week of success Once again, our school camp for Years 4, 5 & 6 was held in a local area, and all children from these year groups were given the opportunity to participate. The weather was kind to us and a great time was had by all. In addition to this, the camp stayed in place for an extra week so that children from Nursery up to Year 3 could go for day visits, as part of the Forest Schools curriculum. The children were ably assisted by experienced campers from Year 6. It is hoped that these days will encourage even more children to make the most of the opportunity offered to them higher up in the school. We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all staff involved, and particularly Mrs Clarke and Mr Peters who led all four camps.

Year 2 visit Hedingham Castle Year 2 had a new trip this year as part of their topic on castles‌. to take part in a ‘Hands On the Past’ day at Hedingham Castle. This was a re-enactment day, and there were nine different activities to experience including jousting, archery, looking at medicines, traditional dancing and learning about weapons. Some of the activities appeared to be rather violent‌‌meaning that Year 2 had a great time! Year 3: The Dark Ages Year 3 have also been studying history, and this has culminated in them writing their own play to be performed to parents in mid June. The children wrote their own scenes about the lives of Saxons, and a group of children also made up a dance. The children were telling the story of St Edmund – the original patron saint of England. The children have been singing beautifully, and a number have been brave enough to sing solos. Songs include ‘Viking Rock’, ‘Amazing Grace’ and a medley version of ‘Oh When the Saints Come Marching In’. Music Concert. This is a very busy time of year at HCPS, and Mrs Broadbent has been busy preparing for the music concert. She and Mrs Rankin held auditions for soloists who wanted to take part and an incredible number of children were prepared to put themselves forward to perform in front of an audience. The concert includes a variety of talent including singers, flautists, piano players, recorder groups, bells, the choir‌..we even have a beat box act this year! Year 6 Play In the penultimate week of term, Year 6 will be performing their version of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. The children are now preparing for their production – learning the songs, writing parts of the script, learning dances and preparing props. The children are still incredibly focused, and it is hard to believe they only have five weeks left at the school! Sporting Success During Camp Week, a number of children from Years 5 and 6 went to Ipswich Athletics Stadium (Northgate) where 52 schools competed in four events. The day also incorporated the arrival of the Commonwealth baton relay and our children were able to have their photograph taken with Beth Tweddle. This is the first time that HCPS have taken part in this annual athletics event and out of 52 schools, the top 8 go into the County finals. Our school came 7th – an incredible achievement! Well done to all children who took part and particular thanks to Mr Peters who left camp for a short while in order to oversee this event. The following day, we took a boys’ team and a girls’ team to Chantry Park to take part in the Ipswich Schools’ cricket tournament. 16 teams took place and our boys’ team finished a very credible 5th place. Our girls’ team‌. all children who took to came first! – An amazing achievement! Well done coached the girls team part. Particular thanks go to Mr Daniels, who throughout the afternoon and Mr Peters who oversaw the tournament.

Keep Calm and Take a Selfie Keep Calm and Take a Selfie - Is what Free Rein challenged both the exhibitors and visitors to do at the recent Anglia Business Exhibition, and as a result had people queuing up to submit their entries via the iPads on Stand 62, via their own smart phones and in-directly via twitter when they got back to their offices the following day. The winners of the ‘selfie’ competition were Caroline Gould of Caroline Gould Events and Richard Pond of Business Connected whose selfies were immortalised in icing, sponge, jam and cream as ‘mini-me’ selfie cakes. Caroline and Richard were delight by their wins and entered into the spirit of the competition by posing with their cakes and tweeting their success on social media. Commenting on her win, Caroline said “Social media is a great tool to connect with new customers. The Free Rein ‘selfie’ competition is a simple example of how you can make it work for your business�. A sentiment echoed by Richard's comment, “The ‘selfie’ competition was light hearted fun at a business exhibition. It does however highlight the opportunity that exists by engaging people via social media�. The word 'selfie' was only announced as being the 'word of the year' by the Oxford English Dictionary in November 2013, while many people are increasingly comfortable using social media within their private lives, many businesses are still reluctant to put social media at the heart of their marketing strategy. Free Rein would like to thank everyone who took the time to join in with our ‘selfie’ competition. It was fun, it was light hearted, but hopefully it has shown the businesses at the Anglia Business Exhibition just how powerful social media can be. If you want to see some of the other entries please go to www.twitter.com and search for the Hashtag #ABE14Selfie or @freereindigital. On a slightly more serious note, if you would like one of the Free Rein team to come and talk with you about how to use Social Media to drive more traffic to your website and help you to win new business please email Jeff Hume on jeff.hume@free-rein.net or give him a call on 01473 810002.

My first day’s fishing! On a Sunday morning I awoke happily knowing it was the day I was going fishing. Excitedly I ran down the stairs and a few minutes later Daddy woke up and immediately said said “let’s get moving”! I walked to the utility room where my rod was stored, it was very dusty and covered in clothes ready to put in the washing machine. Then Daddy picked up all the bait which were maggots in a box. Here is a list of our equipment, Maggots, Rod, Weights, Bait Pellets, Landing Net, Food, Tackle Box, Line, Disgorger, a Depth Weight, Floats and Hooks. When we arrived at a place called Lake Side which is a fishing spot, there was a fishing match going on so we had to keep out of the way. It turned out our line was like cable and didn’t sink instead it coiled up on the surface of the lake. Luckily a nice man gave us some of his line, we then said “thank you” and moved on and began. In a few minutes we got a few bites, then the float went under which meant the fish had the bait in its mouth. I reeled it in so fast that I thought its head might come off! When it was safely in the net Daddy took a picture of the fish which was a big Roach. I was very happy and excited. We let the greasy fish go. We cast the line out in the same place as before, and hour later we got a few more bites. Then the float went under the water, suddenly I reeled the fish in quickly. It was quite big, but not as big the first one. I was very pleased Daddy was pleased too! Daddy cast the line and got it caught up in a over hanging branch but eventually we got it out of the tree and cast it back in to the water where we caught the last fish. A long time later we got a few nibbles. Then nothing happened then I got bite and the float went under. I reeled it in it was quite a small fish so we let it go. By the end of the day we caught 12 fish. Harry Goodchild-Corrochano

SKy Watch Comets Do any of you remember this spectacular comet from April 1997? This comet was named Hale-Bopp after its discoverers Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp and graced the northern hemisphere skies in the springtime of 1997 at a very bright magnitude of 0. The comet remained visible for 18 months at naked eye level, a record for a comet. comets are best described as the left over builders rubble of the Solar System which formed 4.5 billion years ago. They are best described as celestial dirty snowballs, being made of a mixture of rock, ice, and gases such as carbon dioxide. In the dark cold depths of space, the comet is no different in appearance to a asteroid, but once this dark body begins to draw toward the Sun a process begins to take place on this featureless lump , a process called sublimation. This is the process of Ice going straight from a frozen to a gas but without going through the liquid phase. This process leads to a atmosphere to form around the main body of the comet, or nucleus, this atmosphere is called, the coma. The dust released is very fine, about the same density of cigarette smoke. The Sun’s light is actually strong enough to push this dust away from the comet creating the dust tail which is shown beautifully as the white tail in the image above. Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the gas released by the comet, this causes the molecules to produce a ionized molecular stream of particles. This is illustrated by the striking blue tail above which is the result of Sunlight fluoresing carbon monoxide. On any given night several comets can be seen, mostly by large telescopes, sometimes by binoculars and about once every 10 years a comet comes along like Hale-Bopp above. A comet orbits the Sun in various shapes of ellipse, the longer or more stretched out the ellipse the longer the period or time it takes to make one orbit of the Sun. Periodic comets circle the Sun in periods of between 3.3 yrs and <200 years. A classic example of a comet of this type is Halley's comet which most people would know, the period for this particular comet is 76 yrs. Long period comets have orbits longer than 200 years, Hale-Bopp for example now has an orbit of 2,533 years. Some comets even get expelled from the Solar System altogether, destined to spend eternity wandering amongst the stars of our galaxy looking for a new home. But comets that look so attractive do pose a threat to our very existence. 66 million years ago the K-T Impact Event wiped 2/3rds of the life of our planet out in one hit. Was it an asteroid or a comet? No one knows for sure the answer to this question but we know it happened. So, what would of happened if Hale-Bopp had of struck Earth? The estimated size of this comets nucleus is 35 km in diameter and contains en estimated 0.6g/cm3 which gives a mass of 1.3x10 19g. An impact velocity of 52.5 km/second would yield an impact energy of 1.9x10 32 ergs or 4.4x10,000,000,000 megatons which is 44 times stronger than the K-T Impact Event that wiped out the dinosaurs! Scary stuff, but rest assured this sort of event will not happen in our lifetime , comet HaleBopp passed a safe 93,000,000 miles from us. Next month more on comets with a guide to the ones you can expect to see this year. If you have any questions regarding anything astronomical please send me an email and I will do my best to help you. As always, clear skies. Neil Norman, neilnorman-72@hotmail.co.uk

New Aquatics development for Bridge Farm Barns
You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go to extremes to protect your family...
Exciting changes are happening to the aquatics shop at Bridge Farm Barns in Monks Eleigh. Bubble Aquatics has been taken over by Marine Reef, the marine Aquarium Specialists from Kirby Cross near Frinton. This young, innovative company is currently expanding its business and is also developing a further site near Colchester which they hope will become the largest Marine Specialist shop in the East of England. James Hill, Director of Marine Reef says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aquatics is our passion and we believe that there is a gap in the market for a better offering in the East of England. We will be re-designing the shop at Bridge Farm Barns over the coming months and aim to offer our customers an outstanding selection of tropical, marine and pond fish together with all of the accessories required to run anything from the basic to the more serious aquarium.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staff are already known for their helpful and knowledgeable advice and we currently have customers travelling many miles to visit us in Kirby Cross,â&#x20AC;? says James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are incredibly excited about our expansion plans, so whether you are thinking of starting up your own fish tank for the first time or are an aquarium expert, we hope that you will come and give us a visit at Bridge Farm Barns.â&#x20AC;?
Thank you!

Kersey Mill Newsletter As another month goes by we have been blessed with some amazing weather that has allowed us to carry on with many different tasks at tut mill. The summer Ball that was arranged as a fund raising event was a great success and was very well attended and supported a very big thank you to all those that helped in so many different ways, your efforts helped raise over £2500. We have continued to have large numbers of visitors, with several WI groups, Long Melford Historical Society and other organisations visiting the mill, if you are part of a group and would like to arrange a visit then please do get in touch. The previously mentioned work to the sluice gate has continued, with the shaft that lowers and raises the gate now repaired and back in its correct position, attached to the shaft are the original racks that having been repaired are now back in their correct location, they have a wonderful oak gate attached at the base of them that now works as originally intended allowing us to control the water to the wheel. What an amazing site to see something mechanical working, as far as we know the last time anything worked at the mill was about 100 years ago. The sluice gate is a tremendous weight when combined with the racks, yet with the gearing attached to the shaft its movement is achieved very little effort, a pleasurable experience. Pictured is the new Sluice gate and racks. The better weather has allowed for the continuation of the works to the exterior of the mill with repairs to windows, guttering and weather boarding, although from a distance the mill exterior looks good its surprising how much repair is required, another year untouched would lead to major repairs being required. A stitch in time!. The wildlife seems much occupied with an amazing number of Water Vole having been seen recently swimming in the river together with a grass snake. The Kestrels eggs have hatched and from what we can see it looks like there are 4 young ones, that are keeping their parents very busy, kingfishers are dashing back and forth collecting fish feeding themselves and their brood the house martins, swallows and swifts are all at it too. Photograph is a Kestrel’s eye view and also that of a painter! Mark Barnard of Suffolk Mills Group has worked incredibly hard to prepare an application for a small grant to Heritage Lottery Fund to help repair the water wheel and pit wheel, this would help tremendously and allow us to install railings, lighting and educational material for our visitors fingers crossed!

Is something upsetting you? We all think of our food as something which should nourish our bodies. But have you stopped to consider that your food may actually be working against you. Approximately 5% of people have food allergies or an immediate allergic reaction to something they regularly eat. However, it is estimated that more than 40% have a delayed reaction which occurs hours or days after a food is consumed. It is this delay which makes it difficult to determine which foods actually cause problems or even if a particular problem is definitely caused by food. Often, food related problems which could be relieved quite simply are left undiagnosed and go on to cause much more serious health problems. Have you stopped to consider that the following conditions could be caused by something you are eating? • Frequent upset stomach • Bloating • Skin problem • Depression and anxiety • High blood pressure • Regular headaches or migraines • Difficulties in maintaining a healthy weight • Chronic fatigue • Fibromyalgia So what to do? The simplest way to find out what may be upsetting you is to contact me at Bespoke Nutrition, where I can determine the most appropriate test for you, identify the offending foods and work on a personalised eating plan which will eliminate them from your diet.

Local Audiologists Recognised For Customer Service Excellence In today’s competitive market place it is difficult for companies to differentiate themselves from one another. Customer service is one way of doing this and a company from Ipswich has recently been recognised for the sixth time in 8 years for the superior service it delivers to its customers. The Hearing Care Centre, a family-run audiology company, managed by entrepreneur Karen Finch has just been announced as a finalist in the Customer Care Award at the prestigious Anglian Business Awards 2014, organised by the East Anglian Daily Times newspaper. With the awards now in their sixteenth year, this will be the sixth time the company has either won the award or been selected as a finalist in the last 8 years. The company which has 18 centres located across Suffolk and Norfolk, including locally in Hadleigh, offers private hearing care services to thousands of patients across the region. In the Customer Care category companies must demonstrate a strong customer focused ethos which underlies everything they do, going above and beyond customer expectations, ensuring everything that the company does has the customer at its core. The good news didn’t end there with The Hearing Care Centre also being announced as a finalist in the newly established ‘Director of the Year’ award. Karen Finch, owner of the company couldn’t hide her delight at hearing the news “I am so immensely proud of my team and what we do here on a daily basis. To be recognised by the judges for two awards is a fantastic achievement for a company of our size,” she said. The winners of the awards are announced at a glittering presentation ceremony and dinner at Trinity Park in Ipswich on Thursday 10th July 2014.

Fidelis Activity News A Small Family Business Members thoroughly enjoyed this fast moving, humorous Ayckbourn drama which was beamed in live to Cineworld, Ipswich from The National Theatre, London. Our hero, Jack McCraken is a man of principal in a corrupt world. He intends to uphold these values when he takes over the family business. His integrity fades away as he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers, looting the business from their suburban homes. Jack finds himself sucked into the intrigue and as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; values prevail he soon realises that he is unable to beat them so he may as well join them. A fascinating mix of characters with cameo parts by a slobbering private detective and a stroppy teenager. Bolder & Wiser: "Life begins at forty" but does it really? Every birthday is a milestone and some are more welcome than others. Author and occupational psychologist, Sarah Dale, encouraged members to recall their feelings at ten yearly intervals from the age of 10. The results, which were both interesting and amusing, ranged from serious concerns to frivolous anxieties. Societies, often ludicrous, attempts at 'anti-ageing' were also considered; nipping, tucking, filling and smoothing. In the light of this preoccupation with age, Sarah, who is approaching her fiftieth, felt the need to investigate all aspects of the 'older women'. She hoped that this would help prepare her for her own half century. During the course of her research she Sarah Dale, Author and had informal interviews with twenty Occupational Therapist female 50 plussers from a wide variety of backgrounds to see if their attitudes and experiences could assist. Her observations, findings and thoughts on the subject have been published in her second book entitled 'Bolder & Wiser'. Her talk gave rise to a great deal of discussion which continued long after it had finished. The book is available from The Idler Bookshop, High Street, Hadleigh or via Amazon. Jan Devey

We have enjoyed the May Bank holidays and it should herald the start of better weather and the promise of summer. For many Summer means family outings, sitting in the garden, and enjoying the beauty of the countryside. Some people hate the weekend and Bank Holidays because it reminds them of what perhaps they have lost in companionship. It can also remind them perhaps they are not so able to participate in more energetic activities due to injury or pain. Maybe our healers can help, they are trained to listen and give healing. There is no charge for this and everyone is treated in the utmost confidence and privacy. Why not give it a try! Ring 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org. On Saturday, 12th July we are having another Clairvoyant Day. It is an opportunity to have a 20 minute private reading with a medium for £12. If you would like a reading, book early because these Clairvoyant Days are becoming very popular.

Cherry Blossom Bazaar I’m Charlotte and last year I was selected to go to Japan for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree in 2015. There will be around 30,000-40,000 people camping in Japan next year, and whilst we are out there we will be participating in the 70th Peace Anniversary in Hiroshima and service projects in nearby villages. I’m so thankful for being offered such an amazing opportunity, and I can’t wait to go! However, beforehand I need to fundraise £3400. Please come and support the Cherry Blossom Bazaar on 19th July 10am-2pm as money raised will go towards my trip. Thank you and look forward to seeing you there.

Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: The Club will be holding its first summer BBQ on 19th July at the Queen's Head, Lower Layham. There will be the usual food plus Strawberries and cream to finish and the Pub will be open for drinks etc. There will also be a tombola and a little light music. The event will take place between 4pm and 7pm approx with food being available from 4.30pm. Tickets which must be presented at the BBQ will be £10 each (children under 7 free) and may be obtained from Club Members, Queen’s Head and Travel Stop. Fundraising is in aid of Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding and the Rotary Benevolent Fund supporting other local charities. Rotary looks forward to seeing you on the 19th. SPEAKERS: There was only one speaker during the month: Mick Payze, a Rotarian from Australia and a guest of Club member Derek Cranston, spoke about the developments in container ports and his involvement in this. Having spent many years managing, designing and giving advice on ports for P&O Asia he now runs his own consultancy business working on many projects around the Pacific. Clients include Port Constructors, Banks, Shipping Lines, Aid Agencies and National Governments. The latest container ships are massive carrying 18000 containers and cannot enter many ports now due to depth of water, low bridges, outdated loading equipment and insufficient room at the quayside etc. He feels that ships are probably too big now as they find difficulty in finding a full load for return journey having to visit a number of ports to make the journey worthwhile. He gave a power point presentation of a number of his projects both past, present and future. He has been involved in planning and supervising the building of a new port at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea for the PNG Government as well as others in the Maldives and Timor-Leste. He worked on the creation of a new wharf in Vanuatu and extending the port in Pusan, S. Korea whilst in the pipeline is the building of a new deep water port near the airport in Aukland, New Zealand. It was a most interesting and informative talk. For all information relating to the Club please visit Rotary Club of Hadleigh website or ring Rotarian Alan Williams tel no: 01473 830229.

Quad Kids Athletics Competition A team from our Year 6 class admirably represented the school at the Suffolk School’s Quad-Kids athletics competition held at Northgate School in Ipswich. The event, which is held annually, was made extra special this year as it also played host to the Queen’s Commonwealth baton as it made its way through the country. The baton was accompanied by an array of past Olympic and Commonwealth games participants which included Olympic silver medallist gymnast and three time world champion Beth Tweddle (pictured with the children below). The children, who competed in 4 field and track events against other Suffolk schools, found the whole experience inspirational. The school represented the commonwealth country of Belize, with the children waving the Belizean flag during the competition. The afternoon of sport was rounded off by a closing ceremony where a representative from our school, Morgan McCarthy, got to hold and accompany the Queen’s baton around the track in front of a large crowd of spectators. Pinocchio The children were captivated by an excellent puppet performance of the well known children’s story Pinocchio. The whole school marvelled at the skills of the puppeteer and accompanying musician as they retold the famous story. With the clever use of simple props and use of shadow puppets, all the children from Nursery to Year 6 experienced story-telling in a new and innovative way. The teachers used the experience to stimulate creative story-telling techniques back in the classroom. Road Safety Day Our Junior Road Safety Officers, Elliot Woolston and Lionel Mensah-Apraku have been busy recently promoting road safety by holding a ‘Bright Day’ at school. The children were asked to dress brightly for the day a contributed £1 for the privilege. By doing so the children helped raised £98 for BRAKE, a road safety charity. The boys held road safety competitions in school and organised a walking bus for the whole school.
Hindu Temple Visit To support their topic work on India and Hinduism the Spiders class travelled to North London to visit the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir (Temple). Below is a report on the trip written by Ammie Donnelly in Year 6. When we walked into the temple I was so relieved that we were out of the mini bus! The first thing we did was go through a security gate. I was the first one through the gate and it beeped but it was just the metal on the clipboard. After we did that we had to take our shoes off. The girls put their shoes in room 3. The girls and boys put them in a different part. We met up with the boys outside the gift shop. Shortly after we went to the praying room where we watched a video presentation about the temple. The video told you about how old the temple was and how they put life into the statues, it was really fascinating. My favourite part of the clip was when he was saying how long it took to build the temple. It showed loads of people carving beautiful patterns into marble. We were then led to the main part of the temple. The room was filled with big statues which were magnificent they had lots of pretty colours on them. We saw lots of gods that we had learnt about, they were all very beautiful. We had to sit down. The girls had to sit behind separate from the boys. We watched the Arti ceremony; it is one of the most popular ceremony’s for Hindus. The Arti ceremony is the ceremony of light. They believe if you wave fire in front on them the statues will come to life. The Arti ceremony used calm music that made me feel relaxed. We also went on the temple balcony where there was a stunning view of London. Everywhere you looked you could see lots of different Hindu patterns. Most of the pictures carved into the walls were either gods or about gods. We also visited the ‘Understanding Hinduism’ exhibition. There was so much to see and read in this part of the Mandir. We were given a guide book about Hinduism. The book has so much information to read and told you about different Hindu stories that taught different morals. We learnt a lot about Hinduism in the exhibition. After visiting the gift shop it was time to go. I really enjoyed our trip.
Greenscape Energy - Success at The Suffolk Show It’s that time of year again when Solar PV Panels are really working well. With the long summer days the Solar Panels start producing power before 5am and carry on working right through till well after 9pm. It is over these months you will see your highest energy production and therefore greatest savings and income from the feed-in tariff. It is also the time of the year when local shows are taking place. We were at the Suffolk Show again this year and with some help from Enphase we had a considerably larger display stand. As can be seen in the pictures, we built a full-sized roof, complete with an ‘in-roof’ Solar PV system which proved to be a popular attraction, as were the variety of panels that we had on display for people to take a closer look at. Along with the different solar panels and “in-roof” mounting solar system, we were busy showcasing the Enphase Microinverters. Enphase is the global leaders in Microinverter technology. We had the added expertise of Chris May from Enphase with us on our stand for both days, showing the commitment being made by both Enphase and Greenscape Energy to supply our customers with the best equipment and service available. We were pleased to be sharing the stand with our electrical partners AA Electrical of Ipswich, who were showcasing some of their own energysaving products, such as underfloor heating and air source heat pumps.
It meant that we were able to illustrate to people some of the many options available to help reduce their fuel bills as the cost of energy continues to rise. It was particularly lovely to see some of our existing customers from across East Anglia at the Suffolk Show. We bumped into quite a few people from the Hadleigh and Sudbury area, that we have already installed a solar system for. It was fantastic to hear about how happy they were with the savings they had made on their utility bills so far, along with the payments that they had received from the Feed-in Tariff. We pride ourselves on having a superb relationship with all our customers. Which seemed evident in the way so many of you came over to catch up with us, and to see how the business was growing, we thank you for that. As well as plenty of enquiries from people who are already considering Solar Panels, over the course of two days there were many interested people who hadn’t necessarily considered Solar before. A lot of people were looking to find out what options are available within the Solar industry to help reduce their fuel bills. Being an independent company with extensive experience in the renewable energy sector enabled us to give them a comprehensive and unbiased view on the possibilities for their homes and businesses. For more information, or to arrange for one of our Solar Consultants to visit your home and explain everything, and also carry out a free, no-obligation feasibility survey for you, please get in touch and our friendly team will be more than happy to help.

Whatfield CEVCP School What a really busy time we have been having at Whatfield CEVCP School. As readers may know, we are a very small school less than 2 miles from Hadleigh, and are known for having a ‘can do’ attitude. Our pupils are lucky enough to be able to participate in a huge range of activities which many of them would not get a chance to do in a large school. They are resilient and able to accept both winning and losing gracefully. However, it was fantastic to see them getting to the tag rugby finals at Stowmarket Rugby Club in the Spring. One of the year five boys told me that he thought it was because he had been playing against year six from other schools over the last two years, so perhaps the participation paid off!

We have had a wide range of sporting success over the last few months, with a year 3 and 4 team getting to the semi-finals for mini-tennis, and eight of our best swimmers taking part in the schools version of the Great East Swim. Possibly our proudest moment was taking part in the 2014 Quad kids competition, with Harry being chosen to run with the queens baton, alongside Louise Jukes who was part of the first ever GB Handball team at the Olympics. We also had a chance for the team to meet our most successful gymnast at the London Olympics, Beth Tweddle. This was a fantastic opportunity for some of our pupils to meet a renowned gymnast, since they have been working in PE with Kelly Mires, and have improved their skills throughout this year. I am sure she was very impressed by our teams tumbling ability! Key Stage 2 had a fantastic time at the biannual residential trip to Sizewell Hall. This year we visited with Kersey school, and the two schools got along famously. They enjoyed a whole series of exciting outdoor opportunities, orienteering and archery, bridge building and bouldering. They made new friends, and grew in independence and tolerance as well as increasing their understanding of the lives of children in other parts of the world. However the highlight was staying in the African huts for the last night. As a consequence of our visit, CYM have donated a water filter to help a family in Africa, and the children who went on the residential have some ideas for fundraising to provide another family with one too. If you would like to visit us and have a look round our lovely school, you are always welcome. Please telephone 01473 823 309 to make an appointment, Lynne Golding, Headteacher

Dear Sir Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
Dear Sir We would just like to say how saddened we were when we recently returned from a ten day holiday to discover that our long-established, High Street firm of Hicks was closing down. Over the years, we have both regularly supported this shop, as we have many other very good local Hadleigh businesses. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for the excellent service they have always given us (often over and above the call of duty!) and wish to pass on our best wishes to all for the future. Ruth Veasty & Trevor Rowland
Dear Sir We hear a lot about Benton Street and its traffic problems, but Angel Street has its own. We have cyclists riding on the pavements so leaving your home you are nearly knocked over, speeding cars and motorbikes (mainly in the evenings) there should be a speed limit in force. Where we have to park our cars in the road this makes it a one way street, so when buses, large lorries, vans, cars etc try to pass one another this causes a traffic jam. I’ve seen drivers drive their vehicles along the wide pavement side to get things moving. There’s also thoughtless parking so we need yellow lines especially outside the bungalows, people parking in this area cause bottlenecks all the way up the road. The problem is getting worse not better. Janet Bayliss
Dear Sir Could I please say a Big thank-you to all the lovely people at St Mary’s Church on Friday 6th June. As a stall holder with Suffolk Farmers Markets we were welcomed into the church to join their weekly coffee morning. Linda Martin
Dear Sir As Fidelis approaches the start of its tenth year we would like to thank the Editor, staff and readers of HCN for their continuing support together with members and non-members who have enthusiastically joined in the many club events. All this has undoubtedly contributed to the success of the group. We now look forward to a further interesting, active ten years. Fidelis Committee

I am Michael (Mick) Hayton, a Geordie by birth and English by the grace of God. I moved to Hadleigh three weeks ago from Lowestoft and live with my partner, Kelly and our four children. As an ex serviceman and war veteran I am a voluntary caseworker for a Veteran's Charity called Soldiers Sailors Airmen and Families Association (S.S.A.F.A). Our purpose is to help serving and ex-service men and women and their wives, husbands and dependent family members whenever they need friendship, advice or assistance at any time from the day their service starts and for the rest of their lives. This lifetime eligibility continues for widows, widowers, after divorce, for people separated from established partnerships, and for dependent children. We are here to help problem-solve or signpost as fast as possible. We examine the issue at hand and the possible courses of action to resolve any situation as best as possible. Obviously as a charity we need as many volunteers and donations as can be raised. To that end, myself, Kelly and the children are taking part in a sponsored walk in Scotland from Monday 28th July - Saturday 2nd August 2014 from Kessock Bridge, Inverness to Fort William. It is a beautiful but challenging walk that runs for 117km along the major faultline of the Great Glen Way, taking in the breathtaking views of Loch Linnhe, Loch Oich and the forests above Loch Ness as well as along the towpath of the Caledonian Canal built by Thomas Telford thereby linking the Lochs and creating a through route from the western seaboard to the Moray Firth. This challenging route will have approximately 30-40 families from across the U.K taking part with the age range from 5 yrs to 75 yrs of age. Any assistance, sponsorship or publicity is greatly appreciated. Plus! Did I mention that I have to complete the entire walk wearing a kilt! Pictures are available for those who can bear the sight. I would also like to thank everyone for the warm welcome I have received from the local community and how wonderful I think this town is. I recently helped set up camp week for Hadleigh Community Primary School and was honoured to be a Clan Leader for week three's children. It was a wonderful few days and a privilege to work alongside the staff and with the children. Mick Hayton
Dear Sir Living in a lovely town like Hadleigh, surrounded by beautiful countryside, is it really necessary to exercise your horse by walking through the busy streets and housing estates? One morning last week a lady caused absolute gridlock in the High Street, at 8.00 am in the morning, by ambling along on horse with not a care in the world, whilst the busy townsfolk were crawling along trying in vain to reach their destination. Did this happen to be the same horsewoman that was riding through Pykenham Way a week or so back reducing the single lane free of parked cars to a bridle way? Could this be the same horse that leaves the most impressive heaps of manure on the roads and sometimes on the path between Partridges and the Royal British Legion? Of course horses are part of country life but surely there are places more suitable to exercise a horse than the streets of our busy town, and given the choice, I’m sure the horse would prefer the peace and quiet of the countryside. R Green
Dear Sir A huge thank you and congratulations to Plumb Mate for being communityminded. For years, the roundabout on the Lady Lane Industrial Estate has been a veritable eyesore, with weeds growing ever taller and more dense . How wonderful it was a few weeks ago to see that Plumb Mate are sponsoring the site, which is now a thing of beauty with grass, lavender and other plants which should be a source of delight and raise the spirits of the thousands of drivers who use the roundabout during the course of their visits to businesses, the recycling centre, houses and other premises on the Industrial Estate.

Canine's 1, Human's 0. There is no doubt that the riverside walk is popular with dog owners to take their best friends for exercise. Whilst concerns have been aired recently over pavement fouling in the the town, there is very little evidence of that applying by the river. Recently down there a young couple with a child made their pooch do his stuff off the footpath, upon completion of which they scraped every bit of evidence up, bagged it and continued on with it presumably to the nearest drop off point. How different to the young mum (and dad probably), who dropped all of their luncheon debris down the centre of Ivy Tree Lane including a nice bundle of very much used smelly, fly attracting nappy wipes and carried on homeward. Have you also noticed that black bin bags are appearing on road verges more frequently? So the question is: Who needs the training? The Great War Roll of Honour, 1914 / 1918. This is in St. Mary's Church and is in much need of a clean. Can anyone advise how best to treat a ninety five year old polished asbestos sheet with one hundred and twelve names scrolled in black paint in rememberance of the Hadleigh men who died as a result of that carnage, it was last cleaned in 1964. (That is one fatal casualty for every twenty six people inclusive of adults and children, of the Hadleigh population at that time). If you can advise on cleaning the Roll of Honour info c/o HCN please. Gilbert and Sullivan at St. Mary's, (Ipswich G+S Operatic Society). This concert was advertised as a piece by the two maestro's with a supporting blend of traditional, folk and modern song. A competent enough choir, however it all sounded like G + S throughout. Other than the musical director, little use was made of the amplification available for solo use, patrons beyond rows three/four had to lip read. Not worth the £10 entrance money, pehaps they should have included another solo from their excellent flautist! Hadleigh Steering Group What has happened to this group, very quiet of late. The Observer
The Army Benevolent Fund ABF – The Soldiers Charity On 11th July members of the 41 Club, and REME soldiers from Wattisham will be collecting for the ABF on the streets of Hadleigh. It doesn’t seem fair just to collect without telling you why we do it. The fund was started in 1944, because it was realised that after the war there would be a far greater demand for help for distressed soldiers, and their families, than could possibly be covered by regimental funds - or the nation, which at that time was practically bankrupt. The aim of the ABF is to give financial help to the very many (much smaller) army charities and to individual servicemen or woman, regardless of rank, serving or retired, and their dependants who need such help. In practical terms this means support to scores of charities, and about 3800 individual cases each year. Last year the fund paid out over £4.6 million. It would be nice to think that the need for help is reduced, sadly, it is not. There are two main reasons for this. First is the fact that the fund is available to all distressed soldiers, serving and retired and their widows and orphans. When you meet a man in his seventies (and there are lots of them) the chances are that he did two years national service. If in need - he’s eligible, if he dies his widow is eligible. The second reason is part of the cost of being a free nation - and of being a people who have managed the (mostly) peaceful handover of an empire to its own inhabitants. In all the years since the second world war there has been only one where a British soldier was not killed in action. That was in 1967. Your army has fought around the world on your behalf - and has had a steady trickle of casualties. Some of these occur long after battle is over. It’s called lots of names - like combat stress, and post traumatic stress disorder, it will be a long time before this problem is solved and of course, there are the many wounded. Finally - the army is getting smaller. It has always helped itself as much as it can - but resource is shrinking faster than the need. So, please give generously on 11th July. If anyone would like to help by collecting in any of our surrounding villages, I would like to hear from you 01473 823444, please volunteer. John Hart

Cravings get the better of us all sometimes and if you’re trying to keep your waistline in check it can undo all the hard work you’ve been doing by watching your diet or at the gym. Cravings are caused by a mixture of hormones, emotions and learned behaviour - including how we were fed as children! The hormones most likely to give us a problem are cortisol, insulin and leptin. Cortisol is produced when we are stressed and if not used by the body for energy it is converted into fat and stored! Keep your blood sugar on an even keel by eating little & often, cutting out sugar, refined carbohydrate and caffeine. This will also help avoid craving for fatty and sugary foods, and, long term, should help reduce the risk of developing diabetes. Insulin directs glucose (ie. sugar) to the muscles and liver to be used for energy but again, any excess is converted to fat. Leptin is the hormone that tells us we’re full – sometimes if we regularly overeat this can get “switched off” and the over-indulgence becomes even harder to control. All hormones can affect our mood, willpower and energy. Many people find they’re snappy when hungry so everyone around us will also benefit if our hormones are kept level by eating a nutritionally balanced diet! Breaking bad habits is key - we learn by repeating behaviour so by focussing on new (better) habits for a sustained period of time it will become our new “normal”. Substituting a healthier food choice can be a start and won’t have such an impact on our waistlines! Cambridge Weight Plan can help regain that balance and with the added benefit of your own personal consultant to help you achieve your goal. You’ll get individual support and motivation from accredited Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord (with over 5 years’ experience). Contact her on 01449 737113 or 07519 177645 or for more information go to www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL. Val is also available at French Complexion, Hadleigh by arrangement.

News from St Mary’s School The summer term is flying by and the children have been very busy at St Mary’s! Congratulations to the Year 6 children who represented the school at the Regional Rugby finals. It was sweltering, hot day and the children gave it their all. We were amongst the top ten teams in the Eastern region and an RFU coach commented on how well our children did for a small school. We are very proud that the children came away with a ‘fair play’ award, reflecting their commitment, team-spirit and positive approach to the games! Oak class enjoyed an exciting visit to Hedingham Castle, where they took part in a re-enactment day. There were lots of activities to help the children learn about the past, including dancing, dressing up and seeing the weapons. The children particularly enjoyed training to be knights! Another highlight was meeting people in role as a medieval doctor and monk. The children had a tour of the castle and were fascinated to learn about all the different rooms. It was a lovely day out and the children represented the school really well. Our hard-working Year 6 pupils had a fantastic trip to London, walking along the South Bank and seeing the sites, like Westminster Bridge and the London Eye. The focus of the trip was a visit to the Launch Pad area in the Science Museum, which was a wonderful opportunity for the children to do hands-on, practical science activities and a really valuable learning experience. At the end of the day, they left with a real ‘sense of pride in our capital city.’ Thank you to Trish Pitt and all the adults who helped to host two full days of prayer workshops at St Mary’s Church. All our children, from the Nursery through to Year 6, accessed this learning opportunity and time to reflect. The children visited practical workshops, looking at different aspects of prayer: praying to give thanks; praying to ask for help; praising God as the King; praising God’s creation; and praying to ask for forgiveness. The children behaved superbly and showed great respect for the church. Their answers and ideas were thoughtful and sensitive. Trish is now coming into the school to help the children create prayer stones for the spiritual garden we are creating. Thank you, once again, to all the visitors who have helped to lead wholeschool Worship this month. Pastor Greg Frost, Claire Coster, Phillip Mann and David and Wendy Atkins have helped the children to think about the theme of ‘responsibility’. We were also delighted to see lots of parents and grandparents again for our recent achievement assemblies, when we celebrated the children’s gifts and talents from outside school as well as giving out awards for good work and behaviour in school. Chestnut Class had a lovely day out at Hollow Tree Farm. They investigated different crops and how they are used in food supply chains. As well as a trip on the farm trailer, the children had the chance to meet lots of animals and find out about how the farm works day-to-day. In the afternoon, the children looked at how the business of the farm shop was organised, including how the food is stored and what happens to all the cardboard boxes delivered to the shop every day. They used recipe cards to find ingredients in the farm shop, taking note of where all the products came from. This has helped the children learn about the idea of ‘food miles’. It was a super day and the children came back to school with lots of facts they had learned! The whole school participated in safety theme day. We were really lucky to have Richard Seed representing the RNLI, Terry Powell from St John’s Ambulance and PCSO Georgi Hawkes in school to lead three of the activity workshops. We are so grateful they gave up their time for us. The children learned about many aspects of safety, including first aid, safety risks at home and school, safety in the sunshine, safety in the sea and road safety. It was a very exciting, practical day – great for raising children’s understanding and awareness of dangers and how to stay safe. Thank you to all the adults who supported the activities, especially Mrs Seed, who organised the day. Summer Fete! Please do come along to our summer fete on Saturday 12th July 11:00 – 2:30. There will be lots of exciting things to see and do, including donkey rides, rugby, dog show and bouncy castle. There are some exciting raffle prizes too, such as golf at Newton Green. We would love to see you there!

There are times in my life when I have to pinch myself to make sure that I am awake and not dreaming or worse caught up in a nightmare of my own making. I found myself in that position when I attended the Hadleigh Town Council meeting in June to hear the briefing by a Babergh representative on the Babergh Accommodation Review. We all know the details. We have more space than is needed for our staff and consultants have been engaged to assess Babergh’s and MidSuffolk’s needs (see Towards the Deep End in June). I was happy to go with the flow, being prepared to embrace the concept of trust which is supposed to exist between Babergh and its residents. And then it all began to crumble. The spokesperson cited the example of the Shared Revenues Partnership as an exemplar of joint working togetherness. The Shared Revenues Partnership is not unmitigated good news. There are significant deficiencies and unbudgeted costs have had to be absorbed by Babergh. I was grateful for the briefing, but I’ll retain a healthy scepticism until I see the consultant’s report and I’ve assessed the Council’s response. From time to time I see and hear of mindless vandalism. Recent examples are the damage to trees in Cox’s Park. I feel sorry for the youth (yes, I have been sent a photograph) and their inherent unhappiness with the world. Which is why I try to support youthful activities which have low entry costs. Fishing is the largest participatory sport in England. In Hadleigh we are blessed with a number of nearby commercial sporting fishing ponds and we also have the Hadleigh & District Angling Society (HADAS). I have allocated £500 from my County Councillor’s Locality Budget for the purchase of fishing tackle for the junior section of the club. They will be used for a taster event being held on the 12th July. This taster will give people of all ages the opportunity to try fishing for free (see www.hadleighhadas.co.uk or contact Barry Cutler 07903 963995 for details). Thereafter the tackle will be retained for use at organised matches and events for juniors. The HADAS committee is full of hands on people who value their heritage and wish to pass it onto future generations. Hence my willingness to use the Locality Budget to part fund their (previously enjoyed and lovingly restored) grass cutter.

Pause for Thought By the time you read this the World Cup will be almost over, if not finished completely (thank goodness I hear some of you cry!). As I write we are only two days into it and already there has been drama about referee and linesman's decisions: offside or not? Sending off or not? They can't see everything but we expect them to, and to make the decisions we make at home, but we have the luxury of replays, different camera angles, slow motion and close up pictures. There is, however, one who does see everything. The Bible says God sees everything and knows everything about us. He knows the number of hairs on our head, when we come in, when we go out and our every thought. Is that comforting or just a bit scary? Are there things you have done or thought that you wouldn't want anyone else to know? We sing a song in church which has in it the line “you see the depths of my heart, and you love me the same”; whenever we sing it I am reminded that God loves me, not because of who I am, but despite whom I am. Jesus didn't come to save perfect people, He said Himself, 'it is not the healthy who need a doctor', but to save imperfect, flawed people, and for that I am very, very thankful. Pam Sanderson

Sponsored Walk Kenali Nursery School Sambuyang, Gambia
Macmillan Charity Event A Great Night of Entertainment
Some readers may have seen our two previous pieces in the Community News about setting up a nursery school in a poor part of rural Gambia. Starting from scratch, we (Alice and Ken) have built toilets and a perimeter wall, provided simple desks and school uniforms, and sent a tiny amount of pay for the staff. We desperately need more funds, and in September, Ken is doing a sponsored walk on the pilgrim route of the Camino de Santiago in Spain. He hopes to manage the 220km from Astorga to Burgos carrying a 10kg backpack.

Friars Hall Nursing Home This spring has certainly been an exciting one. We welcomed our new matron Deborah Nicklin. We had a visit from Zoo Lab. None of us were too sure about some of the animals like the snakes, spiders and a rat, but we found we liked them at the end. The star of the show was the little hedgehog. Our dementia garden is being extended to include an aviary as well as a viewing area for the fish pond all under cover of our very own vine. We are holding a competition to name our new bird friends and having a tea party to welcome them. Cheerio from now all the residents and staff at Friars Hall. If you would like visit us to have a look round you are always welcome, but please telephone 01473 822159.
Orchard Barn wins Big Lottery Award We are thrilled to be able to announce that we have been granted funds under the Awards for All scheme which will enable us to build a boardwalk into the orchard, improving access for all our visitors. We are planning to achieve this by means of a series of monthly 2-day FREE Community Workshops, on the last Friday/Saturday of each month for six months. We will be making a fence in the form of gate hurdles, which will be constructed from locally sourced ash poles, and teaching green woodworking, including opportunities to use a froe, draw knife, shave horse and pole lathe. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer with us, or have never tried your hand before, you are invited to join us for these workshops. You do not have to commit to attending all 12 days, but we would ask that you set aside a minimum of 4 days over the whole six month period. The first is on 27th and 28th June, so may have already taken place by the time you read this piece, but the next will be 25th/ 26th July. All days will run from 9.30am to 4pm and you will need to book with Sarah â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see below. Our volunteers have been very busy recently using their green woodworking skills to make 2 benches, constructed using traditional techniques without nails or screws. Local oak was used for the seats, home-grown elm for the legs and unique shaped backs from our own cherry plum and maple. These were showcased at Weird & Wonderful Wood in May, so if you were there you may have seen them. For those who did not attend, one is shown in the photo. These benches are for sale to help us raise funds, so if you would like a special piece for your garden, do get in touch. We continue to run our volunteer days every Wednesday, and welcome newcomers. If you would like to help with the conservation of the barn and surrounding orchard, please call or email Sarah (see below). We try to arrange lifts for those who do not have transport. For more information about all our courses and events please visit our website at www.orchardbarn.org.uk If you have any queries please contact Sarah Partridge at sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk or call 01473 658193/07766 054042

The possible use of Bridge House as an arts centre/community building had been discussed. Babergh District Council Officers had reported that the building was unsafe. Members of the Steering Group had felt that Babergh District Council should not be permitted to allow a property in the town to become unsafe and Councillor Riley had been asked to investigate how this had been allowed to happen. As the future of the Brett Works Site since the TESCO application had been refused was causing concern to some residents Councillor Cook proposed that a meeting be arranged with TESCO to ascertain their proposals for the land.

He reported that although the Suffolk County Council Officer agrees with comments regarding the problems with the junction there are currently no plans to carry out any works to rectify the matter. It was stated that should statistics indicate there is a problem then it may be possible to look at the situation again. Councillors put forward some ideas including the introduction of a 20mph limit but this is not legally enforceable and also to seriously consider changing the colour of the road markings to make them more noticeable ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Chair expressed the Committees thanks to Councillor Cook for her work as Chair of the Planning Committee. The Clerk reported: i) An email from Graham Chamberlain confirming the information supplied regarding Change of Use applications and Permitted Development Rights.

It was with great pleasure that the Mayor, Councillor Brian Lazenby, presented the Town Mayor’s Award to Mrs Barbara Boyd at the Annual Town Meeting on Thursday 24th April 2014. Mrs Boyd was chosen by the Mayor as she set up the Thrift Shop in the town which assists local organisations and also carries out a great deal of work in Albania. Mrs Boyd thanked the Mayor on behalf of the Thrift Shop. It is lovely to know that the hard work and dedication of everyone involved has been recognised in this way. The shop will be fifteen years old this year and currently 25 people work there. The majority of the money raised is distributed locally with a 1/8th going towards helping children in Albania. This award will be appreciated by all concerned.

FRIDAY 25th JULY at 7.30 pm £3.50 on the door (accompanied children £2.50) OUR JULY FILM – A BRITISH MUSICAL SUNSHINE ON LEITH is an adaptation of the stage production featuring songs by The Proclaimers. It is a typical feel good film in the true spirit of the genre and is built around 13 songs by the Scottish duo, each one leaving you with a frisson of pleasure! The songs are performed by the Scottish cast whilst the Proclaimers themselves only appear in a brief cameo. The story involves two squaddies, Davy and Ally, who are returning to Edinburgh from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. They find love and late nights waiting for them in the city's port, Leith. Ally is returning to a long established relationship with Davy's sister Liz, whilst she sets up Davy with her friend Yvonne. There are further twists and turns to the plot when we meet Davy and Liz's parents, Rab and Jean, who are celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary , until a dark cloud comes between them in the form of a daughter which Rab didn't know he had - the result of an affair in his early marriage! Welcome to SUNSHINE ON LEITH. Enjoy the pleasure of the 13 songs that made the original stage production special. Refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval!

80 Miles in 80 Days at 80 Thank you to everybody who supported me on this venture. The Dales Way is an attractive 82 mile walk from Ilkley in North Yorkshire to Bowness on the edge of the Lake District. It has one very tough section and it would be that that was the day it rained! And I must admit that it was a struggle to get to the end on some days. However I’m glad to say I completed the walk with the help of my companions and my wife who carried our overnight luggage, and my son who joined us for the last three days. His daughter (aged 9) also walked with us on the last day – 3 generations walking together! I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of support that I have received. With some money still to come in as I write, and allowing for some Gift Aid, it is clear that the total money raised is just over £3,000. Thank you very much. Christian Aid and Homestart South Suffolk are each better off as a result. John Druce

being photographed in the disabled bay outside Avis’s whilst the officers went into the Jasmine House to collect their dinner (yes, surprisingly we are allowed to eat on duty!). I keenly noted that on a social media site, this drew some criticism. This Police car parked in the bay after 6 pm so therefore had every right to be there. Emergency vehicles generally carry an overriding permission to park anywhere in the event of an emergency. Picking up dinner will, of course, never be an emergency, but I know that my colleagues and I feel as strongly about parking as the majority of the Town’s residents and would therefore not park illegally unless absolutely necessary for an urgent deployment. Some well overdue and pleasing news was received in the Station this week. PCSO Julia Bignell was allowed to return to full duties following some considerable time station bound due to a work related injury. Those who know Julia will know how frustrated she has been at not being able to get out of the station, and her full return gives us back the added dimension that she has always provided. Great to have you back Jules! You can contact us at the Police Station during its opening hours of 1pm – 3pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, or by telephone on 101, or by emailing me on matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club The first of our summer visits on 9th June, saw us head to Blacksmiths Cottage Nursery for a return visit to this inspiring concern led by that indefatigable young man, Ben Potterton, and his tiny team of dedicated conservationists. Once again it was a revelation to learn of his enormous work load they put into this project, Ben himself appears to pack thirty hours of work into every day and eight days into every week, a positive powerhouse of energy. It appears that most weeks he is either delivering, mainly birds, to or from all parts of Europe, including Russia, or picking them up to bring back for breeding programmes. The Nursery is run as a partner nursery of the Royal Horticultural Society, so obviously the stock he sells is excellent, at the same time working in conjunction with zoological collections in the U.K. and Europe, participating in a selection of breeding programmes, studbooks and donating surplus animals to other like minded institutions. Of course a large part of the charm of the place is that most of the ducks, geese and especially cranes just nest were they like amongst the herbaceous plants and wander around and this year a good few had their babies with them, agh! Then of course there are the Alpacas, all five had just dropped their offspring, so we weren't able to get too close to them. Ben did point out that there had been a conscious decision not to allow them to breed this year, so he is still trying to find out who allowed the male in to the wrong paddock whilst he was away on one of his trips!! After our guided tour he took us into the cafe part of the complex and treated us to a terrific ploughman's and no ordinary ploughman's either. As it was a buffet you could have what you liked, masses of beautiful local ham, turkey and cheeses not to mention fantastic meat pies etc salads and followed by seasonal fruits - all in all, another memorable visit, highly recommended. Our other summer visit will be on 13th August when we are to visit the late Geoff Hamiltons' T.V. Gardens, now run by his son which comprises 39 gardens, set in 8 acres and is near Rutland Water. We are also visiting members gardens in July. Monthly meetings recommence in the Town Hall in September. Ruth Allen 01473 822323
Hadleigh Evening WI The WI in Britain was started in Anglesea in 1915. The aim was to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become involved in food production during the first world war. To celebrate the centenary a baton containing a memory stick, to record the WI today, is being passed around every federation within England and Wales during 2014-15. It is due at the Guildhall in Hadleigh on 14th November. A celebration coffee morning will be held to which group members are invited. The last stop on the route will be the Royal Albert Hall for the centenary National Annual Meeting on 7 June 2015. At our June 2014 meeting, Judith Blatch have a talk about the history of the family business of Winch and Blatch in Sudbury. The original premises dated back to 1300. Much of these were burnt to the ground in the great fire in Sudbury of 1922. A Power Point presentation included old photos of the period before the fire to date. Recently developments have included the installation of a café and toilets. Both are proving very popular, encouraging trade in the main shops. Janet explained how over the years their stock has changed to meet public demand. On 8th July 2014 the Guildhall will be the venue for our annual garden party lunch to which members from our group institutes have been invited. Our monthly meeting will be held on 15th July. The speaker Richard Stainer will talk about Fair Trade. Visitors and new members are welcome. Any enquiries please contact Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts I am writing this in the middle of the frantic rush to get the garden in a fit state to leave it and go on holiday. The main problems are getting everything planted firstly because it needs doing, and secondly because it simplifies the job for the person who kindly looks after my greenhouse for me. The second problem is weeds. The rain at the end of May got the plants growing nicely, but I think the weeds grew even faster. This year with the problems we had in February I have had to recruit someone to help with the weeding, and with her help things are looking a lot better. I am hoping the garden will look reasonable on the 5th of July for Hadleigh Open Gardens Day. Hadleigh Garden Club paid a return visit to Blacksmiths Cottage Nursery at Langmere Norfolk on the 9th of June. This gave me another chance to look at their approach to weed free gardening. The approach is simple pack the plants so close together that there is no room for weeds. They limit the planting to bulbs and perennials. The perennials are selected to give a continuous display of flower through the summer. In late Autumn they are cut to the ground so that in the Spring the snowdrops and other early flowering Spring bulbs can give a display. As the season advances these are covered up by the perennials. I would like to try this approach on one of the beds in my garden, but it requires a great deal of planning of the plant selection in getting the flowering times, colours, and heights right if it is going to work I would not claim that my garden is fully "Organic", but I do try to base my gardening on organic principles. I shall have some literature from "Garden Organic" available for those who visit me on the 5th of July.

Most of this fell in the last week of the month. The wettest May since I have been writing this column was in 2006 when we had 122mm. The 3 monthly total at the end of May was 122 mm (4.8") which is still a bit lower than the average. In May the maximum temperature was 23 Cel (73F) which is slightly cooler than average for the month, and the minimum temperature for May was 2 Cel (36F) which is typical. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 17 Cel (63F), which is very warm for mid June, but was measured after a sequence of hot days. Hints By July if you grow vegetables you should be enjoying the fruits of your labour. All the traditional crops will have been sown, but now is the right time to sow some of the Chinese vegetables like Chinese cabbage, and mizuna. These are two that I like, but there are a number of others. Why not experiment? This month keep your secateurs with you as you inspect your garden and systematically dead head flowers as they go over. In many cases you will be rewarded by more flowers. July is a good month for cutting and drying herbs and lavender for winter use. The lavender should be cut just before the flowers are fully open. It is also a good month for lifting and dividing Irises that have flowered. Select the biggest single rhizomes for replanting, and cut half of the leaves off. Do not plant too deeply. The tops of the rhizomes should be above the soil. The old garden books suggest mid July as the time to start spraying potatoes against blight. Unfortunately there are not many controls still available to the amateur. It also affects tomatoes so be vigilant. Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

Are you new to Layham? If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet. However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940. Layham Parish Council Below are the main matters covered during the Annual General Meeting of Layham Parish Council on 21 May 2014. • Michael Woods was unanimously re-elected Chairman for 2014/15. • Members expressed interest in sharing with other villages a vehicle-activated sign to help address the issue of speeding; it was possible that most – or even all - of the cost could be met from Suffolk County Council’s Locality Budget. • Police report - there had been two reported crimes during the month so far: a burglary from a shed in Upper Street and damage to a vehicle parked on a driveway on Brett Green. The Clerk had also received a note from a Brett Green resident informing her that there had been an attempt to steal a caravan; the police had been informed. The Fire Brigade had found no evidence of criminal damage in respect of the burnt-out van on the corner of Brett Green and Mill Lane. However, the fire had caused damage to the pavement and surrounding vegetation. The Clerk would try to contact the owner of the van, and would also speak to Babergh’s horticultural team. • The Clerk had pursued Babergh Council for a response to the PC’s request that the issue of wind turbines should be included in the Rural Areas Growth Guidance. She had received a response saying that the policy approach to renewable energy was set out nationally in the National Planning Policy Framework and at district level in the Core Strategy. Babergh was currently working on more detailed development management policies which would replace the Babergh Local Plan (2006), and which were likely to include criteria on issues to be considered when renewable energy proposals were submitted. • A main agenda item for the next meeting would be the setting of targets for the coming year. There would be an extended, half-hour public forum at the June meeting to enable parishioners to give their views on this. • General maintenance issues: The Chairman proposed that the PC should pay someone to replace the fence between Brett Green and Mill Lane as there was currently a risk to children, and also make permanent the temporary repair to the gap at the top of Mill Lane. The Chairman also proposed purchasing some looped metal edging for the ‘roundabout’ in Lower Layham, which might help to prevent lorries from driving over the flower bed. The PC would consider carrying out an ‘audit’ of all potholes in the village so they could be reported to Suffolk County Council. • It was agreed to invite some of the descendants of men from Layham who lost their lives in the First World War to lay a wreath at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday.

Concert by the Hadleigh Community Choir Thank you to the sixty members of the choir (no charge was made for their appearance), those who helped with refreshments and the hundred or so who attended. It was great to see St Andrew's almost full. A very enjoyable evening included lively songs, amusing readings and gusty audience singing. The grand sum of £544 was raised for church funds. Workers’ cottages The census record of 1891 shows Layham as being a village in which the great majority of residents were employed in agriculture or in work relating to agriculture. Farm workers usually lived in tied cottages of a modest size – there were seldom opportunities to move to larger properties as families grew. A pair of such cottages stood at the top of Turner’s Hill (the start of Stoke Road). For years they have looked like one dwelling but last month the current owner, Nigel Thorp, stripped off the old rendering to reveal the two original doors. It is interesting to note that, at one time, the Post Office was run from one half of the building, and the place where the post box was let into the wall can be clearly seen alongside one of the doors. Discussion with Nigel revealed that he had acquired from a descendant of a family that once lived in one of the cottages, a photograph of the building as it was about 100 years ago. The 1891 census shows two families (both ‘heads of families’ being registered as agricultural labourers) living in this building. On one side a young married couple, George and Fanny Alderton and on the other, William and Emily Oxford with their family of six children. Thus, a building which today accommodates one person, then held ten! Further up Stoke Road there is a row of cottages high above the road known as The Terrace. In 1891 it was entered in the census as Oddfellow’s Terrace and a single cottage there accommodated a family of nine. The record for the largest family in one cottage in 1891, was shared between the ten persons living in one of the cottages on Cobbler’s Corner (a family named Garrod) and a family of ten (Dyer) living in one of the three Potts Cottages on Potts Lane, now converted into one home and named Potts Cottage. Suffolk AGE UK The Spring/Summer edition of ‘Choices’ – the Suffolk AGE UK magazine – contains many valuable articles on services you may be interested to use sometime. The Directory includes: the Benefits and Advice Helpline; Befriending Service; Day Centres; Dementia Services; Domestic Information; Home Help Service – there are not many matters upon which the organisation could not offer advice. Our local representative of Suffolk AGE UK is Eve McCoid who is happy to take phone calls on 01473 823798 if you need information. Let’s take a look at the Befriending Service. You may be interested to volunteer to be a ‘Befriender’. Just imagine being shut in a room on your own for a week without seeing anyone – like solitary
confinement. People find themselves in that position when, for example, a partner dies. The television and the radio are a help, but that is nothing like having a conversation over a cup of tea. AgeUK knows a lot of people who spend most of their time alone and who would welcome a visit or a chat over the phone. Why not give the Befriending Service a ring to find out whose life you could brighten up? Contact Sheena on 01473 284254 if you are interested. If you would like to be ‘befriended’ it is the same number to ring.

Pupils visit to Bury St Edmunds Cathedral and Abbey Gardens (written by Holley Grimsey 7T) We really enjoyed the trip to Bury St Edmunds which turned out to be very educational as well as very interesting. We were amazed to see how big the Cathedral was and to learn that the original abbey was 7 times larger than the cathedral is today. The abbey tower was also 4 times taller. This was hard to imagine as when it was built, people did not have access to the technology that we have today. St. George is the patron saint of England, but he has not always had that title. Originally, the position was held by St. Edmund who gave his name to the Suffolk town of Bury St. Edmunds. We learned that St. Edmund was tied up by the Vikings and they threatened to kill him if he did not relinquish his Christian faith; he refused to do this and they proceeded to shoot him with arrows and then beheaded him. The legend says that the head was found being guarded by a wolf. St. Edmund’s body was put in a shrine in the abbey but there are no records of where his body is today. After St. Edmund died, people travelled miles to Bury St. Edmunds on pilgrimages to pray and hope for miracles. It is said that people’s sight returned and illnesses became cured. We enjoyed lunch which took place in the park. We would thoroughly recommend a trip to Bury St. Edmunds. Michael Anthony (7A) gave us an insight to what his personal thoughts were about the trip. “I thought that it was very educational and the Cathedral was very beautiful.” The Year 7 pupils were able to enjoy the day out in Bury St Edmunds, and we are glad the trip turned out to be such a success! GCSE Art Exhibition On Thursday 5th June from 7-9 pm, the GCSE Art students’ work was exhibited at St Mary’s Church in Hadleigh. There was an impressive turn out, and along with the students and the families, both the mayor and local artist Susie Jenkins showed up to marvel at the excellence of Year 11 pupils’ work. This was the first time the exhibition had been held in the church, and it was a nice setting with a great atmosphere, it also allowed the work to be left in the church for a week after the initial viewing, allowing members of the public to see how talented the Year 11 Art students are. As well as the exhibition, GSCE music students Harry Planck, Shannon Leferve and Olivia Sherred and Year 9 pupil Jessica Simmons performed during the evening, and we were very grateful for their musical contribution. There has been very positive feedback about all of the work, and many visitors were complimentary about the range of media displayed in the work. Art teacher Mrs Reed said, ‘I thought it was really successful and the art was of a great quality. The church also added to the feel of the evening’. We wish Year 11 the best of luck and hope they get the results that they deserve this summer! Delve deeper into the plot Year 7 Reading Week commenced on May 19th, and throughout the week there were a variety of activities for the pupils to partake in. These included a visit from novelist, screenplay writer and actor Ciaran Murtagh. He shared his skills and expertise with Year 7 pupils, allowing them to learn how to write a captivating plot, as well as having to determine the outcome of a story. The workshops went down a storm, with Megan Barlow

remarking that the day was, ‘hilarious with great advice for want-to-be writers’. In all lessons during this week, pupils have spent at least 10 minutes reading the book ‘The Demon Dentist’ by David Walliams and according to members of staff, they have found this book incredibly enjoyable. To top off this exceptional week, there was a non-uniform day, which allowed pupils to dress up as a book character of their choice. The Year 7 pupils were very imaginative, and characters included Doctor Who, Bilbo Baggins, Thor and ‘Thing 1 and Thing 2’ from Dr Seuss. Miss Watson, Librarian, commented that the pupils made a fantastic effort and really enjoyed getting into the role of their characters. Brick by brick On the 12th June, a few Year 9 students went to Otley College to get a flavour of post 16 courses available. George Mann said, “Construction at Otley is very good, ranging from building brick walls to plumbing. Otley Collage is a great place to study construction and the college is very friendly and welcoming.” Another Year 9 student, Jack Stone, said, “We went to Otley to experience the construction course as we are going to do this next year. We were shown how to lay bricks by a man called Ian and then had a go ourselves, laying the bricks in a pyramid shape. After lunch, we were shown how to wire a plug and we did some plumbing. We had a great day.” Every cloud has a silver lining Miss Wing, the co-ordinator of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Hadleigh High School, organized the Silver Award at the school. Twenty one students will undertake the expedition part of the award in the Peak District and will walk 35km over 3 days, camping for 2 nights, and will have to carry all the equipment and food they will need for the duration of the expedition. They will also need to have completed 6 months of voluntary work, 6 months on either physical activity or a skills activity and 3 months on the other. All of these students have nearly completed their physical, skill and volunteering sections, and after having all previously completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh, they know what standards are expected from them during the Silver expedition. The qualifying expedition will take place from 7th-10th July, and we wish everybody undertaking the task the best of luck. Enrichment We are very excited as Enrichment Week approaches. Year 7 are getting their camping gear ready as they prepare for their camping trip to Mersey. Not only is their trip going to be buckets of fun but the challenges it will present will develop Year 7’s confidence and encourage teamwork. Isla RomerLee tells us that she is hoping to gain good co-operation skills as well as having a blast with her friends. All of the year 7 community are looking forward to their week away! Year 8s also have some fantastic opportunities in store, and are off on a medieval adventure, where they will be split into groups and separated to explore different medieval time periods. Jared White and Cerys Long both told us that they were really looking forward to this activity and are hoping to gain some good teamwork skills. We spoke to Year 9 pupils who are looking forward to a week in paradise (a.k.a the Ardeche)! Jess Simmons and Jasmine Robinson both told us that they were excited about the trip and have been counting down the days until they leave! Natalie Hills has told us that the year pupils are looking forward to finally getting a tan! We hope all the Year 9s have a fun time in the Ardèche! A couple of the Year 9 pupils have been lucky enough to gain places on the St Omer trip, again in sunny France! The pupils will be going on a battlefield tour and visiting the wonderful sea-life centre! Sean Davies said he was particularly looking forward to visiting the battlefield. We are waiting with anticipation until we can hear their stories! Finally last, but definitely not least, our Year 10 pupils are taking their next big step in life and are completing two weeks of Work Experience. Megan Bennett, who is taking part in Work Experience and is at a placement at Hintlesham Hall tells us that she is looking forward to the experiences of working in an adult environment. We wish all of Year 10 the best of luck! MFL Day On Tuesday 17th June Hadleigh High School invited 176 Year 4 students up for the day to participate in a cross curricular Modern Foreign Languages Day. Students learnt about the history of the French speaking world as well as how to shop at a market in France and decorate cupcakes with a
French twist. This is the second year we have hosted the Year 4s from our feeder primaries for the MFL themes day. London Greenwich Millennium Village Trip Recently, our Year 10 GCSE geography students attended a 2 day trip to London to assist with their upcoming coursework based on sustainability. During one day they visited the Greenwich Millennium Village which prides itself on sustainability where they worked as teams to complete and collect their data for their coursework which accounts for 25% of their final grade. Miss Rowland, a Geography teacher, said, “The trip went well and we were lucky to have nice weather on both days. Whilst we were on the outing we also visited the Crystal exhibition and went on cable cars across the Thames which had some lovely views as it was such a nice day.” Miss Woolven, our Subject Leader for Geography, who attended the outing, remarked that it was a fantastic day and everyone was superbly behaved. She said, “Personally, I really enjoyed the Crystal museum especially as it was interactive which gave a new and modern feel to the exhibition.” Livi Player and Ellen Seeley, who attended the trip, agreed that it was a fun day, especially the cable cars and we were really lucky to have such good weather. We would all like to thank everyone who helped organise the trip as it was such a successful day. We would also like to wish good luck to our Geography students on their upcoming controlled assessment. Prefect interviews Recently our hopeful and ambitious students had their interviews for prefect leaders. Everyone who participated was very well prepared and possessed lots of valuable skills. One Year 10 student said, “I was really nervous about the interview, but when it was my time, I just forgot about it and went for it!” With the last of the interviews happening this week all of the students are keen to hear who the future prefects and leadership team will be. With such a fantastic range of interviewees we know that the decision of who will be a member of the Pupil Leadership Team will be a hard one. Our sympathies are with Mrs Gibson (Head teacher) and Mrs Palmer (Year Learning Leader - Year 10) who will have to make the final and difficult decision. We wish good luck to all the Year 10 hopefuls and hope they get the position that they want. Fundraising Fanatics The Jazz Night on the 21st June in Bildeston’s St. Mary’s church featured Hadleigh High School’s ‘Soul Band’ who was performing to help raise funds for the B Natural Festival taking place this summer. SWISS Student Leadership Conference - Report by Matthew Smith On 13th June, 12 of the new Year 9 Junior Prefects went to Ipswich Town Football Club for the ‘SWISS Student Leadership Conference.’ The theme of the conference was ‘developing student leadership’ and ‘raising aspirations in others’. We had a quick introduction and ice breaker before being split into 6 groups and being sent to an area to work on a task that would show who was brave enough to put themselves forward to lead, and who was brave enough to feedback to the other groups. Then for the rest of the day we had a carousel of three activities: One where we had to use our leadership skills to solve difficult scenarios put forward to us; another where we looked at how utilising the different skills of people in your team to become the most effective team you can; and finally an activity where we discussed the different leadership opportunities existing in our own schools so we could consider taking new ideas back and suggesting them at our own schools. We completed the experience in our own school where we fed back what we had learnt before a conclusion session where we told the other schools what we had spoken about in our school group. The day was great fun, and we are looking forward to using some of the techniques we have learned. Thanks to Mr South and Mr Brigden giving us the opportunity. Support our Fete! On Saturday 5th July, 11am – 3pm, Year 10’s will be running the annual fete which was previously postponed due to bad weather. All Year 10’s involved with the organizing have been rushed off their feet trying to get it perfect in VAT isand moving online fromhave April 2010 time. Mrs Calvino Mrs Hitchcock-Brown played a massive part in helping the students to prepare the fete. Stalls will include Archery, live music, a BBQ and the auctioning of a go kart!

STEERING PROBLEMS? UNEVEN TYRE WEAR? HIT A POTHOLE?
Deutscher Butterkuchen (German Buttercake with Almond Topping) 1 pot of St.Ivel cultured buttermilk 1 pot of caster sugar 2 pots of self-raising flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 eggs 1 pinch of salt Topping: 100 g of flaked almonds by Sarah Thompson 2 tbsp caster sugar 1 pot of whipping cream (300ml/10.6 floz) Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Line a standard cake tin. 1: Starting with the buttermilk (as the pot can then be used as a measure for the sugar & flour), empty it into a bowl, clearing the pot really well. Now add the sugar & give it a good stir. 2: Next add a little of the flour and the first egg,give it a beat, then a little more flour and the 2nd egg, again beat it. Add the baking powder to the remainder of the flour plus the pinch of salt, the 3rd egg goes in & then the flour-saltbaking powder mix.Give the whole mixture a really good beat. 3: Pour the cake mixture into a square cake tin. Now sprinkle the almonds evenly over the cake mix. Once done sprinkle the 2 tbsp of caster sugar on top of the almond layer. 4: Bake in the oven for 20-30 mins.The earliest to check with a skewer is after 20 minutes in the centre of the cake, return to the oven if needed for a little longer. The cake is done when the skewer comes out clean. 5: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and start ladling the whipping cream onto the top of the cake. Try & cover it evenly. Any `pooling` of cream around the edges is nothing to worry about as the cake will absorb the cream over the next couple of hours. You can either leave the cake on the kitchen worksurface to cool or return it to the now cooling down oven. DO NOT PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE TO STORE ! I usually bake this 24 hours before I intend to serve it, as it gives the cake the time to really absorb the cream.

After the quarter finals and semi finals it was Curtis Hammond who proved his class to win it 2-0 despite a spirited display by A. Malt. The Doubles final was a close affair with Kevin Leathers and "Bonzo Van-Beckett" edging out Colin Hynard and Derek Cole to take the spoils. Not much to choose between the triples either as the Brewers A trio of Glenn Bently, Curtis Hammond & Mark Chaplin, narrowly defeated George A’s Derek Cole, Colin Hynard and Paul Clements to take the win. The Landlords cup was won by K. Dignam from the Cock who beat Paul Harmon of the George 2-0. The KO Cup Final was contested by the top two teams, the Brewers A, and The George A, with the George taking this one 3-0 with wins from Geoff Parmenter, Tim Teynolds and Derek Cole. While all this was going on, the Woman's Singles and Doubles were taking place in the lounge area. The Doubles saw D. Butcher and G. Warner beat K. Willis and C. Glass 2-0 in the Final. Emma (M) Witt defeated Debbie Butcher 2-0, in Ladies Singles Final, to win the title for the second year running.

The Madrid golfer revealed he had been thinking of the late Ballesteros throughout the last day which eventually saw him edge out Steen Tinning by two strokes after the Dane had initially carved out a four shot lead in the early part of the round. Luna picked up four birdies on the front nine and the horse loving golfer reeled in Tinning with birdies on 12 and 14 before galloping clear with that decisive eagle on 16 as he finished on 14-under-par, two clear of Tinning and four clear of Mark Mouland who also had a 64. Victory secured Luna his second European Senior Tour title after pipping Sam Torrance to the Scottish Senior Open last year and he pocketed a cheque for â&#x201A;Ź37,000 of the total 235,000 euro pot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was definitely thinking of Seve over certain shots today,â&#x20AC;? said Luna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable to win such a prestigious tournament as this. I played great, with few mistakes and tried to be in the right place and make a few putts and that was the key.â&#x20AC;? This exciting finish concluded a very successful 4 days at Stoke by Nayland and the one hour highlights of each day were televised on Sky Sports TV. The event was also featured on both BBC Look East and ITV Anglia news, and in the local press. The championship was preceded by a Pro Am during which the top 30 professionals played in Mark James with Pro Am team: left to teams with 3 amateurs and right: Stephen Unwin, Mark James, gave them top tips on the way Stewart White, Susanna Rendall. round. Former Ryder Cup captain, Mark James, played in a team with BBC Look Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewart White and Stoke by Nayland Managing Director, Susanna Rendall. On the second day of the championship James was leading the field with 8 under, only to be overtaken by Tinning and finally Luna over the weekend.
