Griff switching our lights on! The Christmas Lighting Up Event will be held on Sunday 1st December from 3pm to 6pm in the Market Place. A stage with live performances through the afternoon will be sited on the Market Place. A traditional Fairground will be in Toppesfield Hall Car Park. Santa Claus will be making a visit along with some special friends – see if you can find them. Stalls and refreshments will be available in the Ansell Centre. At 5.30pm Griff Rhys Jones will be switching on the lights of the main tree and carols will be sung accompanied by the Elmsett Brass Band. Following the demise of the Town Forum, this year is the final year that this event will be funded with money raised by the volunteers. Over the past twelve years a number of residents have been involved in organising events from Craft Fairs which have provided the funds to put on Street Fairs/Music Events etc. They have ensured that over the years enough money has been banked to put on the Christmas Event – this year’s will cost in the region of £3,000. On behalf of the Town Council I should like to thank them all for their hard work and efforts to promote the town of Hadleigh and for the free events organised for Hadleigh residents. The future of the Christmas event will now need to be discussed by Hadleigh Town Councillors over the next few months. if you have any suggestions, would like to offer sponsorship or be involved please do not hesitate to contact me, Carol Bailey, Town Clerk – on 01473 823884 or e.mail staff@hadleightowncouncil.co.uk

French’s Care Haven The evenings are now drawing in and the dark nights will be shortly upon us. The horses at French’s Care Haven will soon be glad of their warm stable and wool blankets (not unlike the way many of us humans feel!!) Lots to report this month, lots of work to be done and always a race against time! Our good news is that French’s Care Haven are hosting a really fun ‘Eat and Think Quiz evening at the Boxford Fleece Hotel 8-10 Broad St, Boxford, Suffolk, CO1O 5DX. This is a wonderful 15th Century unspoilt Coaching Innand a must for those who haven’t been yet, so put this date in your diary: THURSDAY 28th NOVEMBER £3.50 PER PERSON - timing 7.30 for 8pm start. There will be a raffle and all proceeds will go towards the care of our rescued horses. Stay with your own party or join others, make up a quiz group and make new friends at the same time. This was very well supported last year and was an enjoyable evening so come along, get those brains into gear (you don’t have to be a brain box – questions are general and quite easy (what you don’t know you can make up!) At the same time don’t bother to cook – for £7 (which is really good value) you can partake in a fish and chip supper with a glass of wine, beer or soft drink, this is completely optional. But hey, who wants to rattle around the kitchen if you don’t have to! When you can ‘Eat Drink and Think’! Tickets can be purchased from Hadleigh Pet Supplies, 77, High St Hadleigh or from Jann at French’s Care Haven, just ring 01473 833944 or 07747 755556 or email jann.turner@hotmail.co.uk for all the information and get your order in for those fish and chips. To further raise funds, you can now sponsor a rescued horse or pony for just £5 a month. For this, you will get their story and a photo – this would make a really unusual Christmas present and at the same time help those animals in need. You can choose which horse or pony you would like to sponsor. On the subject of helping out, we are also looking for a volunteer who will work closely with us on a PR capacity. This will be an interesting position and would suit someone who loves animals and knows their way around a P.C! Again, contact Jann for details. Thank you so much for people who have contacted us on our appeals. A really huge thank you goes to John who owns Eco-nomic Insualtions in Long Melford. Your fantastic support and kindness are so much appreciated and we are grateful for your continued help and a big thank you must go to Hadleigh High School for the non-uniform day they had for us. Forthcoming News: Colchester Institute is on board with French’s and has started an Educational project for people with learning difficulties at our farm. This is wonderful news and further updates of this will be in December edition of Hadleigh Community News, so watch this space. Any information on the above ring Jann on 01473 833944, 07747 755556 or email jann.turner@hotmail.co.uk

GSOLICITORS IBBONS The grandeur of Chatsworth and Howard Dear Readers: when first your gaze fell upon these jottings, you probably did not have any urge to make a Lasting Power of Attorney. It is though a document that everyone should have in place in their armoury and would allow someone that you trust to be appointed by you to handle your affairs even after you have lost mental capacity. One just never knows what life has in store for those of us young or old. During the month of November, I am happy to attend to a standard Lasting Power of Attorney appointing no more than two attorneys for a charge of £250 plus VAT for each Lasting Power of Attorney. You will also incur the fee payable to the Public Guardianship Office which reduced to £110 from 1 October 2013. Refer to my column when making an appointment to claim the special rate. At the end of September, I enjoyed a super classic car rally weekend in Derbyshire. The picture shows me at Chatsworth House the home of the Duke of Devonshire. I was delighted to be able to visit but he was out and I will have to send him a copy of our Column so that he knows what he missed! I was lucky enough to surge through the Peak District in a Bentley Continental T which my chauffeur Christof had at his disposal. The Rally also spent a day at the National Tramway Museum at Crich where a new village has been created to include The Red Lion Pub which was moved from Stoke. The trams ran up and down the main street. I enjoyed a ride on an open Blackpool tram I have previously mentioned my concern for the future of the High Street in Hadleigh. It was sad that the Partridge Farm Shop closed very recently. I used to buy the gorgeous roulades and cheese cakes that were on sale there. Sometimes if we were catering for a party, Maria my housekeeper would ask if we could buy in one of these creations as they are so delicious. I am pleased to say that I have tracked down the lady that makes all of these things and she is Daphne Willis Betts (Tel. 01473 823547) and so do give her a call with your requirements. Many of you have been in touch about my comments concerning the state of the Parish Church in Hadleigh. Indeed, the Rural Dean of Hadleigh with two of his Church Wardens invited me to the Church where they explained plans for the future. It seems that modern trends mean that the Church is to become a communal venue as well as a Church. Whilst I gather that the situation is transitory, I still don’t like to see pool tables and three piece suites amongst what remains of the pews. Howard Gibbons

Damian Thompson in The Daily Telegraph on October 9th commented that being bonkers is no longer a bar to political advancement. Well anyone who watched Councillors support the proposition that the Brett Works site should be developed by Tesco would not be strangers to this idea. Reasons advanced in favour of the development included: • The development of the site as a supermarket would be a long term benefit for our town. • There are no shops in Polstead. • It will raise the profile of Hadleigh. • The introduction of Tesco into the town will benefit out of town residents (especially those from Polstead). • The development will bring people into the town. • There are no good reasons for rejection. Some councillors once again demonstrated that every time they speak they put the cause of local democracy back by at least five years. It became embarrassing to hear some of the speeches of support for the proposed Brett Works site development. That being said, the Planning Committee meeting was a very interesting day and brought about a satisfactory outcome. I was glad that I was able to cancel and re-jig my holiday arrangements joining my wife and her cousins a few days late in Croatia. Babergh and Mid Suffolk are undertaking a review of their accommodation needs and assets. I am trying to get Babergh’s Councillors to focus on the outcomes of the continued diminution of Council jobs in Hadleigh. If we are continuing with the integration model then we need to ensure that all gains and pains are shared equally. Last month I was able to present a cheque to the Hadleigh Young Farmers. What they lack in numbers they make up in quality and are important to the future of our town and the surrounding countryside. Gone are the days of the Ag. Lab. (so numerous in our family trees). Today the 09:54 Page 3 young farmers are not only required to be competent in hedging and ditching, but they also need to be engineers, chemists and physicists. Social interaction opportunities are limited and the HYF provides a very good social outlet for them and they were a great crowd to meet.

Thank You! We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone that has given help/support to our daughter Catherine, not only for the time that we were away, but during her accident, where after she had used her mobile phone to call for help, it was over 3 hours before the medical team was able set off to the hospital, where thankfully Catherine only stayed in overnight. Also for the many other times, over past years, that the people of Hadleigh have ‘come to the rescue’. Some of you we know by name, but many of you we don’t, either way, THANKYOU.

In the frame for unique wildlife art Dominic Grist from Hadleigh was delighted when he received a letter from The Wildlife Trusts. It was to tell him his collage of a tortoiseshell butterfly had been selected to represent The Wildlife Trusts in the programme for the prestigious Society of Wildlife Artist’s (SWLA) annual exhibition. The exhibition is being held at The Mall Galleries in London in October and November, with this year being extra special as it is the 50 year anniversary of the SWLA. The exhibition will showcase the very best of art inspired by the natural world. A superb mix of painting and drawing, sculpture and printmaking will be complemented by a display area of projects and expedition work. Dominic’s picture originally featured in Wildlife Watch magazine, which is a magazine about wildlife for younger members of The Wildlife Trusts. It was then chosen by The Wildlife Trusts for inclusion in the programme for the SWLA exhibition. Becky Grist, Dominic’s mother said: “To say that Dominic was thrilled would be the understatement of the year! He was so pleased and has proudly taken his letter into school for all to see. We were delighted for him that his picture was in the Wildlife magazine some months ago, but this is truly incredible and he will never forget it.” Dominic and his family have been members of Suffolk Wildlife Trust since 2009 and enjoy exploring Suffolk’s countryside and Suffolk Wildlife Trust nature reserves. On asking why Dominic chose to make his collage of a tortoiseshell butterfly he said: “I was thinking that I might make the picture of a cabbage white, but the colours on the tortoiseshell butterfly are much more interesting”. He went on to say how his family will make the trip to London to see the exhibition, including his three month old brother who will be making his first visit to the capital. What better reason than to see his big brother’s art work in print at a top London gallery! Kerry Stranix at Suffolk Wildlife Trust, said: “We are so pleased for Doiminic and think it’s wonderful that the Wildlife Trusts have chosen to represent the movement with a piece of work from a younger Trust member. Suffolk Wildlife Trust works with thousands of children across the county each year and their enthusiasm for the natural world is wonderful - we hope Dominic and his family have a fantastic day at the exhibition”. The exhibition, called Natural Eye is open from 10am-5pm, including weekends, from Thursday 31 October until Sunday 10 November. For more information, visit www.mallgalleries.org.uk.

We’ve been trying to obtain a few photos of the interior of the former ‘Richardson & Preece’ Shop in Hadleigh High Street, now occupied by Abbotts Estate Agents, thank you to their former employee Stan Grimsey, for lending us this picture which was taken on the occasion of his 21st Birthday when a ‘Sudbury Super Songbird’ made a very welcome surprise visit to the shop. Stan commented “I will never forget it as I was weighing out some loose flaked maize at the time”. Kelvin Avis
FAN - Fidelis Activity News Richard Wright’s transition from pigs to packaging via oil lamps was a fascinating tale of resourcefulness, determination and self belief. Richard re-traced his unusual career path from his pig farming days as a very young boy to his current innovative business producing eco/bio friendly packaging. Interestingly, the gradual demise of one source of income lead to the creation of his next venture. The dire consequences of animal diseases such as swine fever were the catalyst for his unusual, attractive flower filled oil lamps project. Unreasonable demands from the Health and Safety department put paid to that successful idea and lead to his present interest in unique packaging. With every project there were highs and lows, humour and frustration and Richard shared these experiences Richard Wright with his with his captivated audience. After his innovative packaging talks there were lots of questions and interest in the lamps and contents of the home produced packaging which were on display. Jan Devey

Le Petit Paris News from The Station Welcome to this month’s news from the Police Station. The big bad wolf, along with police officers, visited residents in Babergh last month to highlight the dangers of leaving outbuildings insecure. The two-day campaign took place on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 October. The total number of insecurities found in each parish were; seven in Brantham, two in Pinewood, nine in Nayland, 11 in Elmsett and one in Hadleigh. This gave a total of 30 insecurities discovered over the two days. When an ‘insecurity’ was found, the big bad wolf left a leaflet inside warning owners and offering crime reduction advice. Items such as power tools, lawnmowers, golf clubs, fishing equipment, canoes, BBQs, gas bottles, hand tools, ladders, scaffolding, a quad bike, scooters, bicycles, clothes, books, toys and paperwork were found within by officers. Whilst it is good that people feel safe and secure in our area, I would like to remind everyone of the need to lock your outbuildings securely to ensure you don’t become an easy target for opportunistic offenders. Residents who were at home on the day were given a ‘security pack’ which consisted of a home security book, Immobilise and Police Direct information, garden, garage and shed leaflets, a lights on timers postcard and a property marking pen. The operation however, highlighted to us that the wolf was unchallenged and no calls were made to Police about suspicious activity. Many hundreds of pounds worth of property could have been removed by us over the two days, and I remind you all to report any suspicious behaviour as it your call might just prevent the spread of criminality. In other news, the weather has now changed and we are no longer able to stroll along the streets in t-shirts and gaze out at blue skies. Please remember this when using the roads around Hadleigh and surrounding villages. The early morning mists coupled with wet nights are making the roads very slippery with motorists easily being caught out. Make sure you have your tyre tread and pressure checked on your cars and bikes, and make sure your brakes are in good order to give you the best chance of keeping traction on the roads. Regular readers will be aware of the encouragement I regularly give to the young people in Hadleigh. I was pleased to receive a letter this week from “Hadleigh Skatepark”. This is a team of youngsters who are actively raising money to improve the facilities at Calais Street recreational ground. The designs they talk about on their website are ambitious and bold, but I am impressed that they have taken the lead on this and are working hard to get something for future generations to enjoy. If you are interested in this scheme, please visit their website www.HadleighSkatePark.co.uk. Finally, I was very fortunate to get through the ballot for the 2014 London Marathon. On April 13 2014 I will be taking part in the event and nearer the time will be raising money for local charities, to be revealed nearer the time. I look forward to completing the training, but welcome any donations when the time comes! The Police Station is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons between 1pm and 3pm, but you can contact the Safer Neighbourhood Team 24hours a day on babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk.

Following the resounding success of last year’s event we are again celebrating our birthday, our 6th, with a Barn Dance at Offton Village Hall. It will be held on Saturday 9th November from 7pm, with Stefan Freedman and his musicians leading dances to traditional music from around Europe. If you've been to our barn dances before, you're bound to know some of the dances; they are fun, family friendly and no partner is needed. As in previous years we will be raising funds by holding our exciting Auction of Promises - the list of Promises will be available on our website prior to the event, so do take a look. In order to make this evening as accessible as possible the ticket price is held at £5, and we invite you to bring a contribution to a veggie supper, and your own drinks. To reserve your ticket, please email sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk. We recently hosted the Heritage Lottery funded Skills for the Future interns from the Museum of East Anglian Life for a week and they constructed 2 fantastic shave horses for use at the museum – see photo. They also learned all about making and applying daub to our wattle roof. A great time was had by all! We are continuing our Wednesday volunteer workdays, with occasional Saturdays as well. If you are interested in doing practical work in a beautiful environment do get on touch, even if you have no previous experience of conservation work. Contact Sarah at sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk or 01473-658193/ 07766-054042 More information on all events and courses can be found on our website www.orchardbarn.org.uk
Pause for Thought Once there was a man speaking at speakers’ corner in London who boldly shouted out that there is no God and that no one could prove that there was a God. Finally one man responded by pulling an apple out of his pocket and taking a bite out of it. He then asked the man who asked the question, "What does this apple taste like?" With that the man said, "I don't know because I haven't tasted the apple." The other man replied: "Well you won't know God either unless you first taste and see that He is God." In Psalm 34 verse 8 in the Bible it says, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" Why don’t you give God a try? Jan Rogers

Pilatesworks4u has now established a permanent studio at Kersey Mill. The studio has been fully refurbished providing a tranquil and relaxed setting to experience all that Pilates has to offer. Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 10 ensuring everyone benefits from the expertise that Jenny and her growing team have to share. Jenny, who is the founder of pilatesworks4u, is thrilled with the new premises ‘It is so exciting to have a dedicated studio space, I have worked hard to create the right atmosphere in which to experience Pilates and am looking forward to the future here at Kersey Mill. People come to Pilates from many different backgrounds and for a variety of reasons such as relaxation and flexibility as well as stamina and strength. With the Studio we are able to offer a variety of classes with something for everyone. Pilates offers huge benefits and I am keen to share those with as many as possible!’ Pilatesworks4u currently offer 12 classes during the week with more additions planned including an 8am, 7pm and 8pm on Wednesdays giving Paige Dent the chance to offer her ‘introduction into the classical Pilates movements’ – these movements take time to perfect but may be familiar to regular Pilates attenders. Jenny explained ‘The plan is to hold classes most mornings and evenings offering variety for the client – these will include post-natal classes, relaxation, stretch and release classes as well as the classical core Pilates movements. I am also delighted that Charlotte Dykes from Hadleigh Physiotherapy Clinic will be joining us to offer modified Pilates classes. Other classes include general, intermediate and advanced. Also on offer are beginners Pilates courses as well as regular 2 hour beginners workshops where you can begin your Pilates journey challenging yourself in the same way Joseph Pilates did to discover your inner strength. To celebrate the successful launch of the Pilatesworks4u Studio at Kersey Mill and for the opportunity to meet Jenny and her team there will be a welcome party on 6th December with drinks in The Studio at 7pm, followed by canapés and entertainment at The Venue at Kersey Mill. ‘If you would like to visit the new studio and see what we have to offer please come along. My new Pilates instructors and I will be there and we will be only too happy to give you further information should you wish to discover more, continue or take up Pilates. We will also be promoting the forthcoming launch of our Pilates retreats which will begin in 2014 in partnership with the exclusive travel company Goodacre and Townsend. I look forward to meeting you!’ If you would like to attend please contact us on pilatesworks4u@gmail.com or 07855 394703 for catering purposes
New physiotherapy clinic opens on George Street Do you have pain, stiffness, or an injury that won’t get better? Is pain affecting your work or keeping you awake at night? If so, the owners of Hadleigh Physiotherapy invite you to come explore and experience their new clinic on Saturday 16th November. Why not pop in and discuss, free of charge, any problems or illnesses you have, find out what treatments may be of value to you and the benefits of Physiotherapy and related Pilates. What is Physiotherapy? Physiotherapists are rehabilitation experts, it is a profession that aims to encourage and support an individual’s return to health following, illness, surgery, disease or injury. Chartered Physiotherapists are involved in a huge range of care, however here at Hadleigh Physiotherapy we specialise in the musculoskeletal field. Common complaints regularly treated include: • Spinal problems – prolapsed discs, muscle spasm, sciatica, stiff/painful neck and referred arm & leg pains. • Joint problems - arthritis, injury, pain & swelling, stiffness. • Injuries – to muscles and ligaments, cartilage and tendons. Repetitive Strain (RSI) and Sports injuries. • After Surgery – rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery – for example: hip and knee replacements, post fracture, or core and postural work post spinal surgery. What should I expect? We will undertake a comprehensive assessment of your problem, which will include asking detailed questions about how your pain started, which activities make it worse, or better and more general questions about your health, work, hobbies and sporting activities. The initial assessment will enable us to explain why you have the pain, where it is coming from and enable us to give you an estimate as to the length of treatment required. Treatment options depend on the problem you have, but may include hands on mobilisation, exercises to stretch tight structures, to strengthen those that are weak, to improve balance and correct the way you move. Reassurance and education is the key to giving you the confidence to return to normal activities. Ultimately, our goal is to make you feel good, strong, and pain free. How can Physiotherapy and Pilates work together? One of our key objectives is not only to treat your problem, but help prevent it happening again. Here at Hadleigh Physiotherapy we use Pilates to help restore your confidence in the way you move. It is perfect for strengthening weak abdominal, back and pelvic floor muscles, correcting posture and ultimately helping stop or prevent pain and injury by giving you a strong, stable core. The mat work exercises are modified to focus on control, stability and strength. The aim is to retrain your muscles to fire in the correct patterns post injury, restoring correct muscle balance. 1:1 Pilates sessions delivered here in our newly developed studio, allow you to grasp the key elements to Pilates and have an exercise programme tailored to your individual needs. This knowledge can then be transferred into everyday activities and also help you to get more out of current Pilates classes that you may be attending elsewhere. Our Pilates sessions are suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with small group sessions also available. Hadleigh Physiotherapy will be working closely alongside Pilates works4U, and Charlotte will be running general classes at Kersey Mill in the New Year. Who are Hadleigh Physiotherapy? Hadleigh Physiotherapy is being launched by local Chartered Physiotherapists Will and Charlotte Dykes. Collectively they have over 25years experience within the NHS, MoD and private practice. Hadleigh Physiotherapy will become a sister company to their established practice William A. Dykes Ltd in Martlesham. Will, who has a particular interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation, has worked for the past 10years as a clinical specialist within the military. He has been fortunate to treat sportsmen and women up to international level, from a variety of different sports. His expertise lies in musculoskeletal assessment and biomechanics. This alongside his strength and conditioning background enables his patients to maximise their performance and remain injury free. Charlotte is a member of the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI) which is a leading force in delivering safe and effective Pilates training for Physiotherapists. For the past 11 years she has also been the physiotherapy clinical lead within the Trauma and Orthopaedic department at Ipswich hospital. The practice is fully registered with all major Health Insurance companies and has strong links with many orthopaedic consultants and other health professionals.
We look forward to seeing you at our open day on Saturday 16th November www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

As I scampered down the garden at Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare this morning I was surprised to see two friends had returned. Prince, a Springer Spaniel, said he and Parker, a Jack Russell cross, were homeless again because their new owner has been sent abroad to work. The human was just as devastated as my two middle aged pals who are now hoping someone else will let them stay together, for good this time. Someone recently donated a book about the psychologist, Abraham Maslow who wrote that human nature encompasses "wonderful possibilities, inscrutable depths". Last week I learned about these two faces of human nature when a heartless person abandoned a feline family in a layby near Bury St. Edmunds. Thankfully, a kindly lorry driver managed to catch the mother cat he found sniffing around a cardboard box containing her four two week old kittens. This callous act of cruelty endangered not only the animals but people too, had the cat caused a traffic accident. The five have joined the many other cats already here but I can't chase any of them because they are all locked up in cages longing for their freedom. The fundraisers are preparing to deck Leavenheath Village Hall with holly, ready for our Christmas Fayre on Sunday 17th November, between midday and 4pm. There will be lots of seasonal goodies to buy and eat so please come and support SESAW. Many of us are really scared by loud noises so please keep your pets safe from fireworks in the first week of November. The evenings are drawing in and the Volunteers are sweeping up the Autumn leaves. I'm sure they really need help from me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua

Steven Henly Award for Outstanding Commitment to Sport Zahra and Bob have held two fundraising events over the past few months. On 8 May (which would have been Steven’s 26th birthday), there was a Curry Night at the Royal Bengal restaurant. All those attending were served an excellent range of delicious dishes, prepared to the usual Royal Bengal high standards and enjoyed by all. A cheque for the funds raised from the evening was subsequently presented to Zahra and Bob. Zahra, Bob, Daniel and Philippa would like to thank all the staff at the Royal Bengal for making the event such a great success. On 31 May, a Quiz Night was held at Hadleigh High School, which attracted a total of 11 teams for 9 rounds of fierce competition. There was also a raffle with some excellent prizes. Many thanks to Adnams Wine Cellar and Partridges Farm Shop for their donations to the raffle. And thank you also to Hadleigh High School for making the Dining Hall available for the evening, and to Mike the caretaker for giving his time to assist us. Steven was a former student at Hadleigh High School, and was in his second year at the University of Bedfordshire, training to become a PE teacher, when he was afflicted by the rare form of cancer that eventually took his life. He died in July 2008, just a few weeks after his 21st birthday. The Steven Henly Award was set up in memory of Steven, with the aim of recognising and encouraging the level of dedication to sport that Steven himself showed throughout his life; in particular, for people who have tackled and achieved challenging aims or who have had to overcome considerable difficulties in order to succeed.

Hadleigh Healing Society November is upon us with the dark mornings and even darker nights. For those who work full time it seems as if they never see daylight. The thought of winter with its fog and possible snow depresses a lot of us. We all feel better when the days are bright and the sun is shining problems seem a little easier too handle . The radio and TV are always giving us bad news and very rarely do we get to hear of good news or just something to make us smile. We are still plodding our way through the economic crisis with the prospect of higher bills and no wage rises. It does make you feel down and wondering if things are ever going to get better. If you feel things are getting you down, come along and share your concerns with our healers. They will listen, not make any judgements, all in the strictest confidence and maybe you will feel better for sharing your concerns. Try it – just ring for an appointment on 01473 823282 (answer machine) or visit our website www.hadleighhealingsociety.org
White Hart
Just as the weather is turning colder and the nights are drawing in, a small slice of Boxford has gone Mediterranean. The White Hart pub in the centre of the village has undergone a major refurbishment over the summer and has reopened with a brand new manager, Head Chef and a full menu featuring dishes from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and North Africa to name a few. The pub’s new ownership has recruited manager, Ivano Piret, a native Sicilian with significant experience in restaurants and pub management. Head Chef, Miguel Lopes, from Portugal, then joined the team from The Angel in Stoke By Nayland and they have put together an exciting menu based upon some of the classic dishes from southern Europe and North Africa. As well as a range of traditional pastas and pizzas, the pub serves exciting a la carte dishes such as Tajine di Agnello con patate – a Moroccan lamb stew, couscous, new potatoes and courgette, Slow cooked Pork Belly with caramelised apple and black truffle mashed potatoes, and the signature dish Cataplana - a classic Portuguese dish of pork, shellfish, tomato, onions, broccoli and potato all served in a traditional cataplana copper dish for two people to share – a sort of Portuguese paella. There are also traditional steaks, a range of specials and a children’s menu. The aim of the new pub is to provide relaxing surroundings for locals to enjoy a pint or for families to come and eat good food at reasonable prices. Locals will particularly enjoy £5 Pizza and Pasta night every Monday evening, where all dishes are just £5. On Wednesdays they can enjoy Tapas night, featuring a wide selection of Spanish dishes all at £3. The weekends are getting busier as word gets around and so booking is advisable. With Christmas not far around the corner the pub is also offering a 3 course Christmas menu throughout December at just £23.95, as well as the normal menu. So if you are feeling a bit gloomy with the winter nights closing in, go and enjoy a taste of summer at The White Hart where you are sure to receive a warm and friendly welcome from Ivano and the team.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) opened its shop in Hadleigh on October 11th, and staff at the charity would like to say a huge thank you to the Hadleigh community for such a warm welcome. The shop was officially opened at 11am on October 11th by Councillor Nick Ridley from Babergh District Council, and was The shop opening – L-R EACH Chief Executive immediately filled with Graham Butland; Councillor Nick Ridley; eager customers! The EACH Trustee Bob Jones first day’s takings were in excess of £3000, which will help EACH continue their vital care and support of life-threatened children and their families in the local area.

Food For Thought There has been a lot of media coverage recently about likely rises in the cost of fuel and the possible impact that might have on household budgets. In some households choices may have to be made between food and fuel. We know all too well that the call on local food banks has escalated in the past year and the situation is unlikely to improve. In Hadleigh, FIND, the local food bank, is being supported in all sorts of ways and these are making a big difference. May I add another possibility to the mix which you may not have thought of and which need cost you nothing. Many of us have Credit Cards and many of these award bonus points that can be converted into merchandise of various kinds. Among these are Supermarket Vouchers which can be converted into food. I suspect that the food bank would even do the shopping for you. Next time you redeem your Credit Card points please give this idea serious consideration. David & Wendy Atkins

Beaumont School Report It has been full speed ahead at Beaumont School these last few weeks. We have been busy celebrating Harvest with the whole school participating in a special Harvest assembly. The Spiders class played their part in the assembly, led by Rev. Martin Thrower, by reading out their own Harvest poems. The children also contributed to a Harvest collection for the charity World Vision, the money collected going to sponsor a child in Ethiopia. Our Year 3 and 4 Classes were luckily enough to be invited to St. Mary’s Church where they participated in a series of workshops designed around the theme of Harvest.

HADLEIGH TOWN COUNCIL Report of the Hadleigh Town Council meeting held on the 19th September 2013 Present: Councillors Lazenby (Town Mayor), Angland, Byrne, Cook, Free, Grutchfield, Haylock, Matthews, L Munson, M Munson, Welsh and Whiting. In attendance: PC Matt Paisley and PCSO G. Hawkes (Suffolk Constabulary), one member of the press and three members of the public. Non-Attendee – Councillor Amin. The meeting started by observing a minutes silence in respect of past Councillor Mr. Bull who passed away on July 28th 2013. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Councillors Nevard and Sheldrick. These apologies were accepted. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillor Whiting declared a non-prejudicial interest in the bus stop request as he is a Trustee of the Hadleigh Community Transport Group. COUNCILLOR IAN WELSH The Mayor officially welcomed Councillor Welsh to the Council and asked that the results of the election be included in the minutes. The results of the election of a Town Councillor for Hadleigh Town Council (North Ward) are: WELSH, Ian Jason John, Green Party 132 votes Elected. WILTSHIRE, Angela Lilyan, Labour Party 127 votes Councillor Cook made reference to the comments made by Philip Tenant of Babergh District Council blaming the lack of poll cards for the poor turnout. The turnout had been almost the same as that in 2009 and poll cards had not been produced then. Hadleigh Town Council maintained that the cost of poll cards was not viable. It was felt, however, that the polling stations were not practical, Beaumont School being difficult to get to and also the inconvenience to the school as it had to close for the day and Babergh District Council offices. Neither of these sites had been adequately advertised before or on the day. It was felt that if Babergh District Council had liaised with Hadleigh Town Council there were far better facilities available in the town to use as Polling Stations. Councillor M. Munson reported that as a District Councillor she had suggested the hall at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on George Street. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Town Council held on the 18th July 2013 were taken as read were confirmed and signed. MATTERS ARISING Standing Order No. 24 Councillor Cook reported that with the help of the Town Council Staff Suffolk Highways had visited Queen Street and Church Street and repaired the York Stone very promptly. The Staff were asked to contact Suffolk Highways again as further areas of damaged stone had appeared. Report of the County Councillor No-one had been informed as to whether the local bus company, Beestons, had yet signed up to the scheme. At this point the meeting was adjourned in order to let the members of the public speak on the Hadleigh Quarry issue. THE ALDHAM TYE/IVY TREE LANE RESIDENTS’ GROUP After listening to the information provided by members of public in the adjournment it was agreed that this matter would be best dealt with at the next Planning Committee meeting. The Clerk was requested to bring Hadleigh Town Council’s objections raised in 2001 to the meeting. POLICING PC Paisley introduced PCSO Hawkes to the Council and advised them of the work she is carrying out within the town. PC Paisley presented the Police Reports for July and August.

The Town Clerk and Mayor had given the group their approval. ii) a letter received from Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club advising the following two events: a) Sunday 24th November 2013 - Hadleigh 10 road race b) Sunday 23rd February 2014 - Hadleigh Cross Country Race STANDING ORDER NO. 24 There were no questions raised. ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £15,698.06 had been paid during the month of August 2013. It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £28,363.17 be approved for payment. PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meetings of the Committee held on the 1st August 2013 and 29th August 2013 were noted. Councillor Cook commented on the Minutes of the meeting held on the 29th August 2013 - Meeting with Babergh District Council Officers. It had been stated at this meeting that Hadleigh Town Council would receive adequate notice of the forthcoming Tesco Meeting. To date no official notice has been received and the application has been discussed. This will be commented on at the next Planning Meeting. FINANCE & PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 5th September 2013 was received and accepted. Including their recommendations to provide grants of: i) Up to £200 to purchase a bench for the Great Meeting United Reformed Church ii) £200 to the Avenues Group (previously known as Optua) The recommendation to meet 50% of the cost of the Junior Football Club Goalposts was agreed subject to the Football Club agreeing to meet the other 50%. On receipt of the Football Clubs agreement and the final costings it was agreed that the Clerk and Chair of this Committee would deal with this matter. The Clerk agreed to provide Councillors with the attendance details by e.mail. BUDGET The Town Clerk reported that the Council is within its budget. The budget report was not available at the meeting but would be e.mailed to all Councillors. EXTERNAL AUDITORS REPORT The Clerk reported that there had been no queries raised this year but the Auditors had picked up on three minor items: i) The use of Section 137 monies – Hadleigh Town Council have not used Section 137 monies for the last four years. The Clerk would be sending a letter of explanation. ii) The Mayor had not initialled one set of the Minutes. iii) The Risk Assessment was dealt with by the Finance & Personnel Committee and should have gone to full Council. ENVIRONMENT & GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE It was noted that the meeting due to be held on the 5th September 2013 was not quorum. The three Councillors in attendance had requested that the future of this Committee be discussed as so far four of the seven meetings due to be held this year had been cancelled. It was agreed that this Committee would continue and be reviewed by the Finance & Personnel Committee when next year’s meeting timetable was discussed. The possibility of using substitutes at meetings would also be discussed. BUS STOP REQUEST Hadleigh Community Transport had requested a bus shelter be sited at the bus stop opposite Morrisons due to the increased use of their service to the Supermarket. The Clerk advised that there were a number of bus shelters around the town that were not now required. A new bus shelter purchased and installed by Suffolk County Council would cost in the region of £6,000. The Clerk was asked to investigate moving an existing bus shelter in the town to this stop and also to find out if Morrisons had been contacted to see if they were in a position to fund a bus shelter. The matter would then be discussed by the Environment & General Purposes Committee. TOWN GUIDE The republication of the Town Guide in 2014 was due to be discussed at the Environment Meeting. The three Councillors who had attended that last Environment & General Purposes Committee felt that it was not viable to spend around £4,000 on this booklet as it is available on line. It was agreed that other options be investigated by the Clerk with a view to drawing tourists to the town and report back to the Environment & General Purposes Committee. Councillor Byrne expressed her disappointment that the Town Guide would not be published in the future as it was an extremely good Guide and much appreciated by those who she provides a copy to when being taken on the tours she provides of the town, church and Guildhall. LAYHAM ROAD SPORTS GROUND Councillor Whiting reported that Hadleigh Rugby Football Club had made a request to the Sports & Open Spaces Committee to put an awning on the side of the Rugby Club over the patio area to create a sheltered area and a handrail by the entrance. Although Planning Permission was not required the Rugby Club had been requested to provide a diagram and details of the plan to present to this meeting which was shown to Councillors. It was agreed that the Town Clerk produce a written contract to be signed by Hadleigh Town Council and the Rugby Club pointing out that the awning
and handrail are only temporary fixtures to be regularly reviewed, not to be a permanent part of the Rugby Club premises and the Rugby Club has no ownership of the land over which the awning extends. HADLEIGH ARCHIVES Following the death of Mr. Cook and retirement of Sue Andrews who were the Honorary Archivists the future of the Archive Group and who should hold this post was discussed. It was agreed that once the Archive Group had met and agreed their future working arrangements an Archives Panel Meeting would be held. A report of that meeting would be presented to Town Council. TOWN MATTERS There were no Town Matters. There being no further business the meeting closed at 9.05pm Report of the Planning Committee Meeting held on the 26th September 2013 Present: Councillors: Cook (Chair), Angland, Byrne, Haylock, L. Munson, Nevard, Welsh and Whiting. Non-attendee – Councillor Matthew APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Councillors Amin, Free, Lazenby and Sheldrick. These apologies were accepted. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interests. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 29th August 2013 were confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING Any Other Business: Councillor Cook reported that the matter regarding Hadleigh Hall was still ongoing. No information had been received regarding the notice board on the side of Adnams Store. Councillor Byrne was advised that Planning Permission had been obtained regarding her question raised. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/13/00914/LBC 53-55 High Street, Application for Listed Building Consent – Erection of 1 no. fascia sign, 2 no. hanging signs and window signs. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous). Firstly it was felt that the brackets should be inspected to ascertain if they were strong enough to hold the signs and that for the size of the shop one sign would be sufficient. B/13/00946/TCA 15 Inkerman Close, Fell 1 no. Eucalyptus tree. This application was noted B/13/00964/FHA 18 Station Yard, Insertion of replacement doors to rear elevation. Approval was recommended (Voting was 4 four, 3 against and 1 abstention.) B/13/00968/FUL Highcroft, Lady Lane, Erection of 1 no. bungalow with garage and construction of vehicular access. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/13/00984/TCA 20 Angel Street, Remove 1 no. Fir tree. This application was noted B/13/01027/FHA 15 Dunton Grove, Erection of two-storey side extension and single-storey rear extension. Refusal was recommended (Voting was unanimous). The planning reason for refusal was the overdevelopment of the site. However following two neighbours’ concerns Councillors would request that a site visit is appropriate to ascertain possible sewerage problems, issues with on-street parking and as this is a private road the possible increase on maintenance costs to the residents. B/13/01039/TCA Pantiles, Spooners Lane, Remove 1 no. Elderberry tree. This application was noted. B/13/01010/LBC 40 Bridge Street, Application for Listed Building Consent – Replacement of existing er wall finishes to north-west elevation. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/13/01043/ADV WM Morrison Supermarket, Application for Advertisement Consent – Proposed illuminated fascia signage to the supermarket entrance. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous). It was hoped that the sign would be switched off when the store was closed. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS Councillor Cook apologised that under the item – Meeting with Babergh District Council Officers - where she had unwittingly, misled the Committee when she had said that Hadleigh Town Council would receive plenty of notice of the Brett Works planning application because this had not happened. Three weeks’ notice was spoken of but to date Hadleigh Town Council have still not received any official notice that the meeting to discuss the Brett Works Application is taking place. As Hadleigh Town Council has a statutory right as one of the Local Planning Authorities to speak Councillor Cook requested approval of a letter to be sent which asked why the Town Council had not received official notice and queried whether Tesco had. This was to be sent to the Chief Executive of Babergh District Council, copied to Peter Burrows and Christine Thurlow, the Babergh District Council Officers present at the initial meeting had been held with, and all four District Councillors. Councillor Nevard pointed out that the Chief Executive had visited Hadleigh Town Council when she first joined Babergh District Council and had said that one of her most important roles would be communication with Town and Parish Councils. Hadleigh Town Council are getting frustrated by the lack of it. Councillor Cook finished by noting the success of the residents and groups who stood against the Brett Works development and thanked all those people for working so hard. She especially thanked Councillors Byrne and Haylock for all their efforts made to ensure refusal of this planning application. Hadleigh Quarry – Members of the public had attended the Town Council meeting
and since that meeting the consultation document from Suffolk County Council had arrived in the office. The Chair asked that Councillors view the document on line and pass any comments to the Clerk by the 7th October which would allow the Clerk to submit Hadleigh Town Council’s comments by the 11th October. If no comments were received the previous comments made will be submitted. The Clerk was asked to e.mail all Councillors the link to the document. The Chair reported that the new Café in Maiden Way was the first business set up under the new Permitted Development Rights and did not require planning permission for the first two years of business. The Clerk was asked to obtain clarification about what happens at the end of the two year period. The Civic Voice magazine had reported about changing a business to a residential property without requiring planning permission. It was felt that although planning permission for these changes was not required it will be helpful if Babergh District Council advises Hadleigh Town Council of any of these changes happening within the Town. The Chair reported that the three Rowan Trees within St. Mary’s Churchyard were infected with fireblight and would need to be removed and hopefully replaced with suitable trees. The replacement Market Place tree should be planted during November. Councillor Byrne reported on vehicles parked on the pavement outside 62 Angel Street where the resident had put up a formal notice stating that the area was Private Parking for 62 Angel Street only. She felt that this was not allowed and the Clerk was asked to clarify this with Babergh District Council. Councillor Haylock reported that Partridges Farm Shop would be closing on Saturday 28th September. Councillors expressed their disappointment at the loss of this establishment in the High Street. There being no further business the meeting closed at 08:33pm. Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) – Town Clerk

Hadleigh Young Farmers’ Club Hadleigh Young Farmers Club is made up of around 30 members aged 16 to 30 who meet on a weekly basis. We have a common interest in agriculture, although not all members are farmers. Our weekly programme gives members opportunities to engage in the local community as well as enhancing knowledge and skills. We have had tours, visits and demonstrations from many local companies such as Copella, Jolly Meat, Hollow Trees Farm and Adnams. There is also a huge social aspect to the club. We regularly have parties and competitions at weekends. You may have seen us pulling in a Tug of War competition in the ring at the Hadleigh and Suffolk Show, the boys team did so well they went through to the Eastern Area rounds of the competition. Hadleigh YFC also won the Suffolk YFC Rally, which is a day of competitions such as ladies tractor handling, reversing a trailer, building a wall, flower arranging, wheel change, and bale stacking just to name a few! We have won this for the past 2 years running. With this in mind, as a club we felt it was important that we invested in a gazebo that we could take to the various shows and sporting competitions we attend. Thanks to our local Councillor, Brian Rileys’ kind donation from his locality budget, we have been able to do this! He donated £540 with which we purchased a durable, heavyduty, pop up gazebo with ‘Hadleigh Young Farmers Club’ printed all the way around. We are so grateful to Brian for enabling us to purchase this and can’t wait to take it to all the shows and competitions we attend!

Just Desserts A glass of bubbly, delicious dessert tasters and a lively audience, what better way to welcome the arrival of the first ever Fidelis recipe book called ‘Just Desserts’. The clue is in the title so not surprisingly this cheery, bright red publication has over thirty scrumptious pudding recipes all tried and tested by club members. The launch marked the end of a nine month project which not only involved Fidelis members but also several Hadleigh businesses. The delightful, humorous sketches throughout the book were the work of Bryan Haylock of The Idler Bookshop in the High Street. To encourage folks to buy five or more copies at once, Zoey Palmer of The Beauty Rooms offered a voucher to spend in her Hadleigh-based salon. Gotelee Solicitors of Hadleigh and Ipswich have very kindly contributed towards the cost of the enterprise. Their Managing Partner, Martin Whitworth, deftly opened the evening by receiving a copy of the first book which was heavily disguised by a chef’s hat in a red mixing bowl. Once the book had gone public, business was brisk at the four retail points and the one mobile unit manned by Fidelis Chairwoman, Liz Wilson. To date the group have sold well over 300 copies which is excellent news for Marie Curie Cancer Care who will benefit from a share of the profits. Sincere thanks to all who attended the launch, bought books or have contributed to the overall success of the project. The book, which can be viewed at Adnam’s, is on sale at The Idler, 37 High Street, Hadleigh or from Jan Devey 01473 827091 deveys@btinternet.com.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff and residents at Magdalen House for giving me this opportunity of a fun filled position here at the home. I’m Emma Jay, the new Events Coordinator for Magdalen House and am pleased to say we have a wide range of up and coming events for our residents, staff and members of the public. The residents are really looking forward to going to the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich to see the Dick Whittington Panto in November and a variety of entertainment we have organised. With recent changes staff are happy and looking forward to dressing up for a Halloween Party with the residents. I have been able to obtain Reflexology sessions for the residents with Darrell Thompson who also organises massaging sessions in a calm environment with soft music, which our residents love. Reflexology has been a success with residents and staff, so Darrell has agreed to hold regular sessions. I am also delighted that Fiona Nichols, a well known clairvoyant in the Suffolk area is holding an evening session on the 27th November for those wishing to hear from the ‘other side’. As the weather is changing and getting colder we are holding Coffee Mornings with homemade cakes and biscuits every Wednesday between 10 and 12 noon and are inviting the public to enjoy the warm and welcoming experience in Magdalen House. Small donations will be welcome from the events Magdalen House are putting on as we are raising funds for a Manga Cushion, which is an aid in assisting residents to stand from a sitting position. We are delighted to announce we have named our newly refurbished Dementia Suite to the Perry Rose Suite in honour of Mrs Rose Wright and Miss Joyce Perry who are both close to our hearts. I would like to give a special thank you to Margaret Park and those involved including residents and families in dedicating their time in making this area special for the residents living here. Here at Magdalen House we are all proud in what we have achieved in the last year and are able to give our much loved residents a better home from home environment with a happy and fun loving workforce. I am especially looking forward to the future and the events we are able to put on for our residents. For more information on what we have to offer at our home please contact us on 01473 829411.

Greenscape Energy Case Study Mr & Mrs Pettitt, Hadleigh First and foremost, we would like to apologise to anyone who tried to contact us in the first two weeks of October. Following our article in the last edition of the Community News, our phone company experienced some technical difficulties resulting in our customers not being able to contact us. The problem has thankfully been rectified now and normal service resumed; so once Our installation in again please feel free to contact us Highlands Road, Hadleigh with any questions and queries you may have. As mentioned last month, in each edition of the magazine we will be focusing on different products and the benefits they can provide. We will also be presenting case studies of existing customers in the Hadleigh area and exploring the reasons why they considered Solar in the first place as well as looking at the benefits they have experienced since having one of our installations put in. This month, we are focusing on Mr and Mrs Pettitt of Highlands Road in Hadleigh who had an installation fitted by us last October. They have kindly allowed us to visit them to find out how they are getting on since having the system installed one year ago. Mr and Mrs Pettitt first looked at the possibility of getting Solar panels over a year ago and had been contemplating getting some quotes for quite some time. They had realised that despite working hard all their lives, the money they had saved over the years was now sitting in savings accounts and ISA’s, and was simply not performing. The cost of living was increasing and the low interest rates in various financial institutions meant that they were earning next to nothing from ‘traditional’ saving methods. Mrs Pettitt had always been of the opinion that not enough was being done with the natural energy all around us, and so combining the two thoughts, learning more about Solar seemed a natural step. They obtained several quotes from companies, but ultimately were impressed by our down-to-earth and friendly approach. The fact that we were a local company was also important to them as well as the very competitive prices quoted, and the fact that we have experienced, qualified tradesmen working on every aspect of the project.
Mr Pettitt was himself a former tradesman, working as a Joiner for many years. He particularly appreciated the attention to detail put into the project as well as the cleanliness, precision and neatness of all the work, both on the roof and the electrical work inside the house. Mr and Mrs Pettitt had a 16 panel (4 kW) system installed on their south facing bungalow with a traditional String Inverter to convert the energy generated by the panels. In many ways, theirs is an ‘ideal home’ for Solar. After one year of having the system in operation, Mr and Mrs Pettitt have received nearly £700 from their energy company for the electricity generated and have noticed a massive drop in their utility bills. They also had an Immersun device installed later in the year by ourselves. This is a device which sends the surplus electricity to the immersion heater to heat hot water for free. We will go into more detail about this piece of technology in a later edition. The effect of the system overall has “been a revelation” according to Mrs Pettitt, as they have both their Gas and Electricity with the same company, and their last quarterly bill was for less than £5 for the two utilities combined. In fact, the system worked so well during the summer that they were actually able to turn off their Gas completely for several months. Even now in October, they only have to have their Gas on for about 1 hour a day. Mr and Mrs Pettitt are simply thrilled with the installation. They say that they are very pleased to have made the decision to have had Solar put in by us and that they would recommend making the move to Solar to absolutely anyone. If you are interested in finding out about Solar and learning more about the kind of benefits that Mr and Mrs Pettitt are experiencing, then please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team to explore how you too could earn and save money.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity and each year the nation expresses its unequivocal support for The Legion's work through the Poppy Appeal. Last year was a record breaking year for the Hadleigh Branch who collected just under £9,000. This is an incredible figure when you consider that although the poppy appeal runs throughout the year, the majority of the funds were collected in the two weeks leading up to Remembrance Day. On behalf of the RBL I would like to thank the people of Hadleigh for their generosity and support. This year’s appeal was launched on Saturday 26th Oct and poppies will be available across Hadleigh, so once again we hope that you will continue your support and wear your poppy with pride. Remembrance Day Parade This year’s Remembrance Day will be celebrated on Sunday 10 Nov 13, with the usual parade and church service. The parade will step off from the Legion on George Street just after 2pm for a wreath laying ceremony at the war memorial. On completion of the wreath laying the parade will march past the memorial en-route to St Mary’s for the church service. RBL members and ex service personnel are invited to join the parade. Any ex service personnel who would like to attend but require assistance should contact the Legion. Lest We Ever Forget “Why do you still march old man, with medals on your chest? Why do you still grieve old man, for those friends you laid to rest? Why do your eyes gleam old man, when you hear those bugles blow? Tell me why you cry old man, about those days so long ago. I'll tell you why I march young man, with medals on my chest I'll tell you why I grieve young man, for those I laid to rest, Through misty fields of gossamer silk come visions of distant times, When boys of tender age lost lives, and all their mothers pined; We buried them in a blanket shroud, their young flesh scorched and blackened, A communal grave newly gouged in blood stained gorse and bracken, And you ask me why I march young man, I march to remind you all, That but for those apple-blossom youths, you'd never have known freedom at all.”
Thank You Keith! The committee of the Hadleigh & District Branch of the Royal British Legion would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Keith Bartram, who recently retired from his post as Branch Committee Chairman. Keith has been a member of RBL since leaving the RAF and he has served on the branch committee for well over 25 years. In recent years he has led the committee and worked tirelessly to ensure that the Hadleigh Branch continues to support the RBL in our community. For his long and dedicated service to the RBL and the wider Hadleigh community we thank him and wish him all the very best for the future.
Young Keith in his RAF days

Facing up to Winter… Winter can be tough on the complexion and now is a great time to prepare your skin for the harsh months ahead. Winter winds and dull days play havoc with our skin, drying it out and replacing our sun-kissed, summer glow with pale blotchy skin. “There’s nothing quite like a good facial to give your skin back its glow”, says Meg, beauty expert at Suffolk Medical clinic. In the Autumn, skin needs a good overhaul: The sudden change to cold weather and central heating after weeks spent in the summer sun can irritate and dry out the skin. A good exfoliation will lift away all those dull, dead skin cells and a healthy top-up of moisture and vitamins will rehydrate the skin.

Ebony’s Blog
THE FLOWER SHOP
My life at The Shelley Centre
at Kersey Mill
What is The Shelley Centre? And who is Ebony?
CHRISTMAS WORKSHOPS
These questions were asked of me recently and as I tend to forget that some of you may be new to the area or have only recently had access to my ramblings, I’d better explain. I am Ebony and as the more important (well I think so, BABS may not agree!) mechanical horse, I have been entrusted to keep you up to date, via my monthly Blog, with the goings on at The Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding (that’s our full name). As an affiliate member of the Riding for the Disabled Association, we operate as an independent Charity providing horse riding and carriage driving therapy for those adults or children within the Hadleigh and surrounding area, who have disabilities. My 12 hairy hoofed friends, ranging in size from the two Shetland ponies to big chaps like Rocky and Jet, not only give our Special Riders the benefit of their rhythmic movement, to stimulate, strengthen and tone their sometimes weak muscles, and to improve their balance and co-ordination skills, but they also offer emotional support, building up self-confidence, independence, and enjoyment to generally improve their overall sense of well-being. The Riders are all referred to us by their Medical Practitioner, and may come as individuals, with their parents, or as a group from a Care Home or Special School. As all aspects of riding fit in with the requirements of the National Curriculum, children are able to attend during school hours and so continue their education through a different medium. The weekly rides take place in the outdoor arena, where the mounted riders are given exercises to do and games to play, which challenge their balance and co-ordination skills, as well as learning to ride and care for their horse. Sometimes they are able to ride out round the fields and by the river, to places inaccessible to wheelchairs, (and Mechanical horses!), which gives a great sense of freedom and enjoyment. Carriage Driving is also available to those who find it more suitable for them than riding. BABS and I are used to assess the needs of all new riders, to help those who are unable to sit up by themselves - by having a Helper sit behind to support them - and for those too heavy or unbalanced for my Hairy Hoofed friends. Our salaried Stable Manager has responsibility for the care of all of us, and is helped in the running of The Centre by over 90 Volunteers, who give their time freely to help with the rides, maintenance and fund raising. Often the riders need a pony leader and two people walking either side, to ensure their safety, so you may understand why we can always do with more Helpers. The friendly atmosphere and the huge satisfaction gained through watching the Riders achieve their goals, together with several social fun occasions each year, make helping at The Centre a most rewarding experience for the Volunteers. To gain more insight into our origins and activities, you might like to look at our Website (address at the end of my Blog). The Centre costs in the region of £65,000 a year to run and so support for our fund raising events, donations, sponsorships and occasional grants, are essential and always hugely appreciated. I hope this Blog has helped you to understand what The Shelley Centre is about, but if you have any questions please contact us by telephone, or email theshelleycentre@aol.com and a visit is always welcome; you may then decide to join us too!

Patrick Mowles was born in Angel Street, at what was then known as Garden city and now known as Angel Court. He had always lived in Hadleigh and had seen the many changes over the years, both for the good and the bad. Patrick was one of seven, six brothers and one sister, the whole family lived in a one up and one down on Garden City (on the land of Angel Court), rent four shillings a week to us about twenty pence, they all had to do there bit Knowing nothing came for free. Patrick first worked in partridges in the ironmongery dept. and then for James Faithfull carpets for nearly twenty years, after that he had a few other jobs but nothing steady his real passion was gardening, so one day he decided to be self-employed and do gardening for people, Patrick was the Head Gardner in Hadleigh from then on, he worked on some of the big gardens in the high street sun court being one and pat liked this one because Cromwell stayed there once, Patrick was one for tradition heritage and inclined to always do things the old fashion way. I first met Patrick nine years ago I think he followed me into the pub on a lovely summers day in my flip flops and this little man was right behind me, I do remember him on my first night at the George - Patrick was checking us out as this was his local, to be fair Patrick would share his love and was known to drink in all the pubs at one time or another. I became Patrick’s secretary whenever he need to order seeds, bulbs, trousers shirts etc. he would get me to check his forms and I would write him a cheque as he never had a cheque book, I think he just liked our Christmas party we would pull a cracker or two. Patrick had his own garden another small plot and his allotment which he shared with John Deacon, I think John had to do all the hard work, he liked his vegetables but he loved his flowers much more, he grew the most amazing flowers, particularly dahlias of which he would often bring me a bunch, I think he must have spent all his money on the garden. Everywhere Patrick went he would always make us smile what a character he was the man who would do the hunting horn in the middle of the Co-op or break out in full song or even his own made up foreign language, he was even know to stand at a wedding and do the hunting horn, all collapsed with laughter. I have so many story’s I could tell you about Patrick think I will keep them for the book Land lady’s confessions, however there is one I can tell. One day Patrick went for a day out with his Great friend John Deacon, John would often take Patrick out, they often went off to Needham Market, Patrick liked Needham, ‘Cuttings’ the butcher the Swan etc. however on the way home Patrick said to John (after having had a few pints of IPA) we have our own Downton Abbey characters back at the George, John you must be the farm manager not Bryce and Tom Ward he will be the wood man of course I shall be the Head Gardner, Bev she must look after the horses and maybe do a bit of chamber maiding and Tori she must be the cook, Bryce he can be the shofer maybe even the butler, by the time he was back at the George it was all worked out and the name was Dunton Grove. One of Patricks favourite things was hunting he loved the old traditions even after being knocked down by a horse one year. He would never miss the hunt he loved to see all the horses, hounds and the red coats of the huntsmen. Patrick also loved music, all music, but in particular classical music he would often break into a song or tune and this always amused the customers in the George or the High Street or even the Co-op. Every year I would give him a ticket to watch the Hadleigh Choral Society - they do put on some amazing productions. Patrick always finding a nice lady to sit beside, he also went to Ipswich to watch Swan Lake, he loved Elgar, Tchaikovsky
and Beethoven and was very knowledgeable. Patrick was in fact very knowledgeable about a lot of things speedway being one, gardening, music, history and much much more. I will miss Patrick very much and so I am sure will many off you with his ability to always be happy, and most of all the power to make people smile and laugh which I feel in our world today we don’t do enough of, so ‘Thank you Patrick’. I need to say a huge thank you to John and Sheila Deacon on behalf of everyone for looking after Patrick and being there every day. Patrick leaves behind one son Des and a daughter Edith. Des would like to thank you all for all your kind words. Here are just a few comments posted on Facebook: “What a character made me smile he’ll be up there with his hunting horn� “Lovely man and his tomatoes Pat knows� “Ladies it’s safe to wear your open toe’d shoes again!! “ “What a legend�

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.net Website: www.hadleighhigh.net Headlines by Caroline Gibson, Headteacher This half term has continued to be very busy with many visitors coming to our school to work with our pupils including the Maasai Warriors from Kenya and Adisa the Poet. Equally, our pupils have been supporting visitors at our recent Open Evening. We were pleased to have more visiting families than anticipated. Families were very impressed by our pupils and their enthusiasm for learning and it was a real asset to have so many of our pupils confidently guiding families around the school ensuring Year 5 and 6 pupils did not miss out on the range of learning activities available. Our Year 7 pupils have already shown an impressive range of knowledge and expertise about the school and also contributed to the questions posed by visitors. Thank You to: The Science Department would like to thank Andrews Quality Butchers of the High Street, Hadleigh for supplying hearts for the pupils to dissect in their Biology lessons and for supplying a range of dissection material for the Open Evening recently had at Hadleigh High School. Congratulations to: Victoria Tapp (10T) – Won a certificate of merit for boxing, well done Victoria! Euan Hawthorne (10T) -Won a bronze medal in the JKA English Championships, and will hopefully be reaching his black belt in Karate in about a year’s time, keep going Euan! Jared White (8D) – Who recently achieved his black belt in Karate at just 12 years old! Congratulations Jared. Chloe Read (10T) – For passing her Grade 1 Guitar Exam, well done Chloe, keep it up! Harry Planck (10G) who took part in the semi-finals of the ‘Open Mic’ singing competition at Southend on Sunday 20th October is now through to the final which will take place in London on 24th November. Good luck Harry. Duke of Edinburgh October expedition beckons The D of E award is an award given for completing a programme of activities that can be undertaken for people aged between 14 and 24. For our budding Year 10s this is their first practice expedition after taking part in their first training expedition. They will be trekking through the Sizewell area with their maps, walking about 25 kilometres each day without adult guidance. This second practice expedition is a lead up to the qualifying expedition. Ms Wing, a recent winner of the Stowmarket triathlon said: “quite exciting for the new groups to have their qualifying expedition. Equipment is all ready and route and map is under way.” The Year 10s have been working hard creating the route plans for their expedition and we all wish them luck. New Settlements As Half-Term nears, the year 7s have settled in to Hadleigh High really well. They are so far enjoying school and are fast making new friends. “It’s fun. I like all of my lessons and I have made lots of new friends.” Lucy 7G. “It’s a lot better than primary school. My favourite lesson is Science or Maths. I have also made new friends.” Jamie 7G. “You get to do different things from primary. My favourite lessons are PE, Science and Maths and I have made lots of new friends.” Olivia 7A. “It’s good but I don’t like the amount of homework! I like the 100 minute lessons and my favourite subject is PE. I have made a few new friends.” Luca 7A. “It’s been quite good so far. I like PE as I enjoy rugby. I have made a few new friends.” Sam 7M Pupils jump for joy for the Maasai Warriors The Osiligi Maasai Warrior Troupe visited Hadleigh High during October. The warriors shared information about Maasai culture as well as performing a range of songs and dances using only their voices to create the rhythm and music. They live out in Kenya and graze their cattle in the area of the Ngong Hills. The Troupe members are: Tajeu Ole Minisa (know as Richard) he is the leader of the troupe, Kamayet Ole Parmari (known as Sarge) he joined the group as a soloist, Keesame Ole Parsapaet (know as Movie Star) is a great hunter of wild cats, Miriam Tentere Mulunkei (know as Miriam) she hopes that the funds from working with the group will allow her to build a bigger house, Lidya Simaloi is 25 and hopes that she will extend her family finances, Simon Salau Kuraru has taught himself English and has developed a skill as a narrator and Rempesa Ole Kirkoya joined the group because of his excellent warrior skills and a talented soloist. The money raised by the Osiligi Charity Project sponsors children to get an education, provide clean water and build a school. 34

Poetry in Motion On Thursday 21st November we are pleased to welcome performance poet ‘Adisa the Verbaliser’ to the school to present his poetry to Years 7 & 8. Adisa will be performing poetry from his fantastic book ‘Lip Hopping with the Fundi-Fu.’ Adisa is well known on the performance poetry circuit and in 2003 won the title of New Performance Poet of the Year. Adisa frequently visits schools throughout Europe to share and deliver his phenomenal performances which have been described as ‘a giant pizza with toppings of African wisdom and observational comedy!’ This is a unique opportunity for our pupils to have an enjoyable new experience of poetry performances that are brought to life in an exciting way. The visit will also be supporting the promotion of literacy and reading for pleasure. We hope this will develop our pupils’ knowledge of poetry and will be an enjoyable experience for all involved. Aha me hearties! Year 6s thoroughly enjoyed their day at Hadleigh High School when they partook in a Pirate themed Science day. The purpose was to maintain our links to the local primary schools, enabling them to come up to high school in September with prior knowledge to experiments we do throughout their time with us. The school decided to go all out this year with Science teachers and Year 6 pupils dressing up as pirates to celebrate the day. The Year 6s were split up into teams with different pirate ship names. Their mission was to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from a deserted island and as they completed tasks they gradually grew closer to saving him. Mr Horn, a science teacher, said, “I loved it. I really like working with primary school children, they are very eager to get involved and learn.” We hope that everyone who took part enjoyed it as much as we did. Singing at Suffolk One A group of Year 8s and 9s were offered the chance to go to Suffolk One for the day to work with 2 professional singers. They worked on operatic and musical songs, some of which included songs from ‘Les Miserables’. Throughout the day they worked on the songs to then perform them to Suffolk One students. Around 15 students from the high school partook in this event along with others from other schools. Jess Simmons, who participated in the workshop, said, “It was interesting; we learnt a lot.” We would like to thank Suffolk One for having us and we hope that the students who took part in the workshop will carry on with their singing success. Open Evening goes off with a bang On Thursday 10th October Hadleigh High School opened its doors to Year 6 pupils. There were lots of opportunities available for the Year 6’s to engage in while they had tours around the school led by our existing pupils. Mr Crane, an organiser of the evening, said, “I thought it was a great success. I thought the pupils in particular were fantastic this year at promoting the school. I managed to spend half an hour as a parent and was very impressed by the variety of activities that my son could partake in.” Some of the activities involved included: trampolining, cake decorating, making slime, pottery, making shanty town houses and creating electric shocks. Miss Gibson also thought the evening was a huge success. She said, “It was lovely to see so many families engaging in the wide range of opportunities available. Feedback from our visitors about our students was hugely positive. People said how impressed they were in how polite and confident pupils came across. It was lovely to see so many volunteers from every year group promoting our school.” Overall the evening was a huge success and we hope to see many familiar faces in September.
We shoot we score! At the recent Year 11 netball tournament on the 15th October we had many triumphant wins for Hadleigh High. A jubilant Miss Brown commented, “We beat East Bergholt, Ipswich Academy, Northgate, Coppleston and Ormiston Endeavour Academy, resulting in a fantastic win, making Hadleigh High proud of its victorious students. It was stunning to watch�. We also have upcoming netball tournaments for our Year 7 and 8 students; we all hope they will be as successful as our Year 11s. Year 10s get to work Year 10 students at Hadleigh High have become accustomed to their GCSE subjects. A student said, “It’s a lot more rewarding when you know all your hard work is going to use.� Year 10 students are well absorbed into their GCSE courses and getting on with the hard work tremendously! Year 10 student, Amiee Davies from 10T commented, “The stress has built up after starting our GCSE courses but I am definitely enjoying everything there is to offer and looking forward to the outcomes afterwards!� Lois Peck from 10M also said, “I think getting to choose our own subjects is good because you get to choose the ones that you think will help you in the future and you try harder in the lessons you prefer and that will help you later on.� The teachers are very supportive of Year 10s, Mr Miller, the Head of Options told us: “Year 10s have settled in better than previous years. I have had many fewer pupils asking me to change certain subjects. Year 9s should start thinking about what they want to do, and balance it with what they enjoy and what they are good at.� We wish the Year 10s further luck in their courses and exams that will follow shortly. Expectations evening Expectations Evenings opened to Year 7 and Year 10 pupils. Mr Green talked about what is happening: “The evening involved trying to get the children to aim high and the parents to support them in doing so. They should also do the best they can. It should find the children’s academic potential.� The evenings should be a good experience for the pupils and teachers alike. Dodgeball Tournament This year pupils are taking part in a inter-house dodgeball tournament that will add up the points to win the house cup. The Year 10 competition is under way with the other years looking forward to competing against each other. Mr Lloyd said, “I was pleased with my form’s performance in dodge ball. I credit our victory to my form’s participation and I am very proud of my form.� There will be many sports and other activities, such as netball and rounders, which will contribute to the points that will go towards winning the house cup which is awarded at the end of the year.
Playstation Pre-School Hello everyone, what a busy first half term we have had here at Playstation. All the children have settled in very quickly.

The hummingbird. Known for its complexity in flight as it gathers nectar from flowers. Unique in its ability to hover by utilizing the incredible speed and agility of its wings. And now the mighty search engine Google has a Hummingbird all of its own. On the search engine’s 15th birthday, Google announced that they’ve been using this brand new search algorithm dubbed ‘Hummingbird’, to improve website results on complex search queries. In short (we’ll keep it short), Google has improved its search to focus more on the user experience. Now complex searches will be matched with more relevant content from websites, or at least that’s the idea. In theory, the search engine giant is really pushing to have a more intelligent and streamlined process with web searchers, leading to even more accurate search results. Thus making on-page optimisation and relevant content even more critical for a web page to come up. Let’s cut to the chase, if your website isn’t moving with Google’s fast pace, how will your customers find you? Why not give SEOmers a call to see how we can boost your brands online presence?

A quick update on the campaign to stop Babergh District Council building houses on Coxs Park/Easthouse Meadow. In August we submitted a town green application to Suffolk County Council. This application if successful will provide legal protection on this land. For this application we had to provide evidence of how the people of Hadleigh have used the park over the last two decades. We would like to extend a big thank you to the 100 people who completed evidence forms and provided documentary evidence of use of the park. Without these forms we would not have been able to submit this application. Reading the evidence forms it was really apparent how strongly residents value this park. Sadly Babergh District Council managed to hold up the application as they were required to provide information to Suffolk County Council with a two week deadline and have literally just provided the information as i write this some 5 weeks later. So what happens next? The application to register the land as a town green will shortly be advertised so please keep an eye out for this in the local press and at the park and respond accordingly. Also Babergh plan to have a consultation on a revised planning application for turning East House into houses. We believe this application will take place at the swimming pool/leisure centre on 8th and 9th November (Babergh should advertise this exhibition). It is almost certain that it will continue to include building houses on the park despite the original planning application being withdrawn due to our petition. So we would recommend that you attend this consultation and make your views known - don't forget it was our 1000 strong petition that got the original application withdrawn so your voice can make a difference. If you are unable to attend the consultation then please write to Babergh directly or your Babergh councillor with your views. Without your comments we may lose this important park. If you want more information or can help, please get in touch via our email savecoxsparkhadleigh@gmail.com

Snowy’s Bait & Tackle - founded 4th October 2013! It is the dream of many anglers to own their own fishing tackle shop, for me it has now become a reality. I have turned a disused butchers into a shop to sell both new and pre-owned fishing tackle. In addition to tackle we stock a wide range of baits including frozen sea fish, boilies, pellets, fresh maggots, worms and casters. I have been involved in the local fishing scene for many years and realise that good condition pre- owned fishing tackle is ideal for the novice, so by selling tackle to suit all budgets I hope to encourage more youngsters into England’s biggest participant sport currently enjoyed by millions. If you want to try before you buy, then why not pop in and hire the rods, reels etc. for the day (conditions apply). With Christmas just around the corner why not consider a day’s fishing as the perfect present for the family to share a relaxing day together by the waterside. For those new to the area, Hadleigh has its own fishing club. Hadleigh and District Angling Society have access to various stretches of the River Brett and a number of still waters in the local area including the fully accessible lakes at Pond Field, Polstead. Matches are organised for all age groups. Application forms are available in the shop. Snowy’s Bait & Tackle, 1-3 Long Bessels, Hadleigh IP7 5DB. Opening Times: Monday to Thursday 8am to 6pm; Friday 8am to 8pm Saturday 7.30am to 6pm; Sunday 9am to 1pm For advice or more information pop in to see me or call 07766 140624

On Thursday October 3rd, seventy seven women, from all over the UK, left Gatwick Airport, bound for Cuba, to take part in the first of five ‘Cycle Cuba’ Challenges, having raised a minimum of £2,900 each, for Breast Cancer Care, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, and Ovarian Cancer Action. Over the course of five days, we cycled a total of 400 kms both on and off-road, in searing heat and 90% humidity. Weather conditions were exceptional for the time of year, making it a tough challenge. Many suffered heat exhaustion and sickness on a daily basis. Frequent water stops, resting in the shade, were essential, as was the regular afternoon ritual of ‘the shower’, water poured over the head and neck, in order to cool the body down! There were one or two falls from the bikes, many bruised limbs, several passing outs, insect bites, a few tears, and unfortunately, one broken wrist. However, help and support was always close by, either by our new found friends or the amazing support team of two doctors, tour leaders, mechanics and drivers, plus back-up buses if needed. The terrain in Cuba is varied and at times extremely hilly, rising in altitude to 1,295 ft at times. The variation in road surfaces, meant that often warning cries of ‘POTHOLE’, could be heard ahead!! We cycled through sleepy villages, seemingly caught in a time bubble, where the usual form of transport was a horse, or a horse drawn cart, acting as the local bus! Children’s smiling faces and Spanish words of encouragement, helped us persevere, as we laboured up the long inclines. En route, we visited a boarding school for deaf children, where two youngsters entertained us with poetry and songs, and two teenage girls danced effortlessly, in time with the music which they were unable to hear. We thanked them with gifts of much needed items which are in short supply, such as toiletries, pencils, books and paper. Our route in Cuba, took us from Matanzas in the north- west, along the Varedaro Peninsular, down to Cienfuegos and Trinidad on the southern coast, continuing on to Sancti Spiritus, crossing the finishing line in Santa Clara, where we received our medals. Next day, we returned to Havana by bus for a guided tour of the old city, before our final night’s Gala Dinner and a well earned half day’s rest before our overnight flight home. An astounding total of approximately £300.000 was jointly raised by our group, to support and raise awareness to these three killer cancers of women. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of friends, acquaintances, the support of local businesses and our families, for which we thank you all most sincerely. We now hope to maintain both new friendships and fundraising for this very worthy cause. Gilly Dutton

Cant find a reputable and professional Carpet and soft furnishing cleaner? Look no further! Hadleigh Carpet Care – The natural choice for professional carpet and upholstery cleaning in Suffolk. “Wow, I can’t believe my carpets have come up like that, look at the colours that have come back”, “That’s unbelievable, they look brand new, much better than when we had them done before by another guy”, “What have you done with my suite? It look’s amazing” The above quotes represent tiny example’s of comments we receive on a daily basis from our valued customers. Consumers now have a huge choice when it comes to companies and individuals offering carpet and upholstery cleaning services, if you think all these companies are the same, you would be severely mistaken. The use of “Professional” is flaunted So how do you filter out the real professionals from the amateurs that sometimes call themselves “professionals”, and what should you do if you just want your carpets to be clean? Anyone can attempt to clean a carpet or soft furnishing with DIY or professional equipment, but it is an understanding of the processes and in depth knowledge of the subjects being cleaned that separate the amateurs from the professionals. At Hadleigh Carpet Care, We have a broad and diverse understanding of these processes as well as years of experience practising the correct way of professionally cleaning carpets and soft furnishings, which is why we can offer an unrivalled service in your area. We utilise a six stage process to ensure your carpets and soft furnishings receive the best care possible with no risk of damage, these include but are not limited to; 1. Pre-test fibres for identification and dye stability and soiling 2. Thoroughly vacuum with an Industrial twin motor vacuum with beater bar 3. Apply our cleaning process method (1-8) 1=light clean – 8=salvage clean 4. Neutralise the fibres by balancing the PH level and returning the fibres back as close as possible to their natural state. 5. Set pile to aid effective drying 6. Use an Air mover to accelerate the drying process. If you think that your carpets are beyond restoring because they have been cleaned before, The chances are that they are probably in that state because they have been cleaned incorrectly before. Let us see if we can make a difference.

Pictured above is a example of Martlesham Church that had been cleaned before, a sticky detergent left in the fibres causing dust and dirt to make the carpet re-soil incredibly fast. Our method can ensure that this doesn't happen again. Removing any one of the above listed steps can have a drastic effect on the result of a clean and increase the risk of damage to the cleaning subject. Below are some examples of what can happen if carpets and soft furnishings are cleaned incorrectly. Damage and browning to Wool fibres, Delaminated backing of carpets Fibres flattening, Re-soiling to occur rapidly after a clean Colour bleed, Shrinkage and Stretching Just remember, if you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.

Goodbye Mrs Vicary On Friday 4th October, Juliet Vicary, our school catering manager, left us to work at Andrews Butchers, preparing various pies to be sold. The children were very saddened to hear the queen of the chicken pie was leaving (although they will of course now be able to buy the famous pie at Andrews to eat at home!), and many parents wanted to mark the occasion by writing memories in a book and attending a short reception after school. We were really fortunate to have Juliet at the school for so many years – she was instrumental in taking forward the running of our school kitchen when we opted out of Suffolk County Council Catering control almost 8 years ago. The take up of school meals is a testament to her skill in the kitchen. We wish her well in her new venture. However, all is not lost. Juliet’s legacy will continue in the form of Linda Harvey who will be our new catering manager (she was Juliet’s second in command). Linda has already been producing delicious meals, and has new ideas to introduce. We look forward to many more special dinners and continued good ‘home’ cooking! Morrisons Support Year 2 Science Year 2 were very fortunate when they studied fruit and their seeds because Morrisons very kindly donated a whole box of fruit to the school, including some very unusual specimens. Firstly, the children studied the exterior appearance of the fruits and then they were cut up so that they could study and draw the insides, explaining why the fruits need seeds. They even studied them in greater depth as a class using a visualiser! We would like to thank Morrisons for supporting our science curriculum. Very soon there will be a display of our children’s work from this topic in their store. Skip 2B Fit: On Friday 4th October, the whole school was involved in a sponsored activity to raise money for our HSA which also promoted health and fitness. In the previous weeks, the children had spent time improving their skipping, and for the final event, they skipped for two full minutes and their number of skips was recorded. The winners from each class later took part in a grand final which was observed by the whole school. A list of our champion skippers is displayed in the North Lobby. In addition to this, the activity has also supported our mathematics curriculum as a group of our gifted and talented mathematicians have been analysing the data at lunchtimes and will soon be sharing spreadsheets with the school showing the average number of skips per class, etc. Year 6 Science Day Year 6 attended a Science Day at Hadleigh High School on Tuesday 8th October as part of our continued liaison activities. Many of them dressed as pirates and attempted to help Jack Sparrow off a deserted island. Although our school didn’t win the overall event, the children had a great time, the highlight of the day being when they got to use real Bunson burners! Maasai Warriors Entertain the School. We were very fortunate on Friday 11th October when Years 1 – 6 were invited to watch a group of Maasai warriors. The children were enthralled by their bright costumes and energetic dancing. We would like to thank Mrs Tassel for liaising with the High School to arrange the visit. Lloyds Community Fund 2013 During the summer term, our school made an application for a community grant in order to secure some funding to enhance our school playground. The application involved a lot of hard work and we were delighted to be shortlisted. There is now a public vote, running from 23rd September to Friday 1st November to see which community group will win the funding. THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!!! You can visit the website and vote for our school. The website address is: www.lloydsbank.com/communityfund. Please do visit this site and please do vote for our school project (please encourage all of your friends and family to vote too!). You will also be able to vote by SMS text message. You need to text the word VOTE and the following code, PZXA to the number 61119. You will also be able to vote in a fairly local Lloyds branch - our nearest branch is Sudbury. This is a real chance to win some much needed funding to enhance the school playground for all of our pupils. It will only be made possible if we all adopt the Hadleigh Primary School community spirit. Thank you for your support.

Clement Attlee was the British Labour Party leader for 20 years, and presided over the 1945 - 1951 Labour government. This was the most significant reforming administration of 20th century Britain. It introduced the National Health Service and nationalised one fifth of the British economy. Here in Hadleigh, Labour has had mixed fortunes with significant individuals gaining positions on the Town and District Councils in the last 10 years. For the General Election in 2015, the Labour Party has selected its South Suffolk Parliamentary Candidate from Hadleigh. It is Jane Basham. Jane recently gained a lot of support for her Police Crime and Commissioner Campaign and she understands the changing needs of Hadleigh and South Suffolk. Campaigning with her Team here in Hadleigh, she has supported the SaveCoxsPark campaign with her colleague Angela Wiltshire, and brought the Credit Union into Hadleigh from Ipswich. Look out for Jane over the next 18 months, supporting our High Street, tweeting from Tesco planning application meetings, but also singing along to 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer' at our Christmas Party.

A workshop based programme where Maureen will introduce information, ideas and techniques that you can use to connect with your inner awareness and perhaps make different choices. Particularly suited to those who want life to be different but are unsure how to achieve it or find themselves repeating the same negative patterns. In addition, for those who wonder why they want one thing and act in ways that achieve the opposite, e.g. want to lose weight yet keep eating cakes; Self awareness allows us moments in which we can step back and view choices based on how we want to live our lives, as opposed to reacting in the same old ways with the same old consequences. The workshop is free and is on Saturday 9th November from 1.30pm to 3.00pm. For more information please contact Maureen on 07926 090890. Toptime for the over 55s this month has a variety of activities including a talk by Toptimer Marion, play reading, games and a current affairs discussion.

Our Baby Bounce is equally popular for those attending, particularly good for introducing babies to songs, rhymes and books in an informal fun group. Every Thursday from 10.00am – 10.30am. Both sessions are free. Our Family craft session is every Sunday from 10.30am. Each week our Sunday staff create inspired ideas for you to enjoy and take home. Our theme this month is Under the Sea and there’ll be an opportunity to make a paper bag fish and beaded star fish during the month. Neither is suitable for bath time but great fun to make!

Home Education Having made the decision to Home Ed almost three years ago, we're very please to say that our 7 year old took to it like a duck to water & has come on leaps and bounds. In virtually all areas she excels, happily switching between snippets of different modern languages, geography (can even point out Peru on a map) and music (she loves the old style, theatrical Musicals) to name but a few. However living as we do in the lovely town of Hadleigh does put her and her little brothers (5 and 2) at a bit of a disadvantage from the other HE kids in Colchester, Ipswich & Sudbury, who have closer playmates for day-today socialising. So, we thought it was about time to remedy that. Anyone out there in HCN land who either is Home-Edding already or is thinking about it, and would be interested in starting a group here in Hadleigh, please get in touch. Age is not that important as HE kids seem to have no trouble transcending peer groups, but I'm sure they'd love to find some playmates their own age too. You can find out much more about HE from the wonderful folks at Education Otherwise: www.education-otherwise.net Jonathan Adams - jonathan@pentosfilms.com

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP: Club members welcomed their first Associate member, Steve Laing, at the recent business meeting. We hope that he will enjoy pioneering this relatively new method of becoming involved with Rotary. Associate Memberaship is intended to provide a simple introduction to Rotary and your local club without the commitment of full membership. It allows you to try out Rotary and find out if it is for you whilst enabling you to step back easily if not. We hope that Steve will not be the only A.M for long and encourage anyone who would like to know more about the scheme to contact this Club via the website as soon as possible especially ladies as our President, Glenn, would welcome more female company. CLUB ACTIVITIES: A small working party recently spent some time repainting the Christmas Float ready for the festive collection season.The colours seem brighter and we hope that it will meet with approval as it tours the streets. SPEAKERS: 1 Gurps Singh, our local dentist and his wife Hema, also a dentist practising in Sudbury visited the Club to describe their recent wedding(s). Their union was more complicated than most as it was an interfaith marriage with Gurps being Sikh and Hema Hindu. Gurps family lives in Punjab whilst Hema's is near Bangalore some 1300 miles away with a different language and culture. 3 weddings were necessary!! The first was in her family village and was a Hindu ceremony with the whole village attending. An auspicious date was chosen by an astrologer and ,perhaps unfortunately for two people used to British climate, this was in May when the temperature hit 42C! The ceremony was very intricate, taking place over 48 hours with many pre marriage rituals ending with the actual marriage. About 2000 people were there and one of the main TV channels televised it. The families then moved to Gurps village for the Sikh ceremony which is not as elaborate - the wedding itself only lasts 17 minutes but is followed by a very long party. Finally a civil ceremony in this country completed matters. Gurps showed many slides of the ceremonies and rich costumes . For this talk members were joined by their partners and everyone enjoyed a fascinating insight to different cultures. We thank Gurps and Hema for sharing their happy experiences with us. 2 Harry Buckledee, a sprightly nonagenarian, spoke about his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War 2 he joined the army in 1939, volunteered for overseas duty and was sent to Egypt serving with the armoured car division. He saw action at El Alamein and was part of the long range desert group. It was on one of their sorties that he was captured.He was put on a ship for Italy but this was torpedoed and he had to take to the lifeboats. He was picked up by one of the German escort vessels and returned to Tunis where he was interrogated, threatened with death if he did not co-operate but he did not give them any information and was eventually flown to Naples. From there he was sent to Germany by train and thrown into a cell without clothes, interrogated again but the Germans could get no useful information from him and he was sent to a prison camp near the Polish border where he and many others were handcuffed from 8am to 8pm every day as a reprisal for the Dieppe raid. In 1944 he was moved again to a camp near Austwitz where he worked with Jews and witnessed first hand their cruel treatment. As the War neared its end the Russian advance caused the evacuation of the camp and a forced march of many days in midwinter from January to April. The snow was deep, there was little food, no washing facilities and prisoners became lice-ridden, very cold, hungry and deprived of sleep. At one stage Harry collapsed but was revived and eventually reached Brunswick where he was liberated by the Americans. He was treated in hospital by the Americans before being sent home where he needed a long recuperation period to rcover both mentally and physically.However he did regain his fitness and served in the army until demobbed in 1946. It is a tribute to his strength and fortitude that he is still able to stand up and deliver such a talk today. 3. Marcia Whiting gave the club an excellent presentation of the art of Sir Alfred Munnings. 1878 to 1959. His father was a miller, the occupation persued by the eldest son. Alfred went to Framlingham School where his only interest became art and little for the the school carriculum. He left school at 14 and took an apprenticeship with Page Brothers printers in Norwich. This brought long hours, with employed commercial art in the mornings and Norwich School of Art and his own art in the evenings, this combination of commercial and pure art gave him a sound grounding. During this period he became acquainted with the director of Caley’s in Norwich who gave him work producing drawings which entailed travel enabling visits to many galleries. After an accident caused the loss of his right eye.

News from Hollow Trees Farm This year we are excited to present a Countdown to Christmas over seven super Saturdays. Every week we will be showcasing our quality home-grown and local produce as well as providing some great gift ideas. From sausages to cheese, Christmas puddings to turkeys and hampers to holly .We will help you make your Christmas a Hollow Trees Christmas this year. December 7th will be official launch of our Christmas tree selection. This year we have lots of our own fresh home-grown trees with a size and shape to suit everyone. There will be some farm trail fun too so be sure to watch the web site for more details. www.hollowtrees.co.uk And talking Christmas trees, Bob the grower tells of a salutary lesson learnt this year: "Talking with some friends in the garden centre trade last year about Christmas Trees, they were boasting about the number of artificial trees they sold. This persuaded my wife Sally and I to make a trip to the Christmas Fair held in Harrogate. It was a bit of a journey but a nice town and nice hotel to stay in overnight. It was a most impressive trade show with everything anyone could possibly need for Christmas. Being a country boy I was impressed with all that tinsel and sparkle and ended up by agreeing to buy a few pallets of 'top of the range' artificial trees from a particular persuasive salesman. These arrived at the farm and last November we set about making a magical Christmas display. The reality was not quite as good as my imagination, but near enough for a farm job. Unfortunately my enthusiasm for these everlasting trees was not reciprocated by you, our customers, and instead of selling pallet loads, total sales amounted to half a dozen trees. So I need to get myself out of another fine mess. We need to shift the trees this year. If you feel the need for a classy tree that doesn’t drop in needles however long you keep it indoors by the radiator, with no watering, and will last you for years, come and see us. These trees will be priced to sell! Next time I have a good idea, I think I will sleep on it a bit longer!" Bob the Grower

We thought you might like to read about one of our fostering families and the fostering journey they have embarked upon. This month details the female carer’s thoughts and experience of becoming a foster carer. “Deciding to become a foster carer was a decision that we thought long and hard about as we knew that it would have a very large impact on our life, but I’m so glad that we did. We took the brave decision and contacted Eastern Family Services and we haven’t looked back. Elle and Sarah came out first to our house and we had a good relaxed chat and they told us about the agency and answered any questions we had. We were then appointed an independent social worker who went at our pace to get all the paperwork started. It really makes you look deep inside yourself and take a good hard look at your life, which is a really good thing as you need to go into fostering for the right reasons; like helping someone who hasn’t been as fortunate as ourselves. Believe me it’s hard work, but once the foster child placed with us learnt to trust us and realise that we were sticking with them and believing in them and not sending them away they have come on in leaps and bounds and we have got back more than we have put in. Waking up and seeing their smiling face each day instead of the scared look they had at the beginning, like a rabbit stuck in the headlights, is a lovely thing. Being able to give them normality, new experiences that we take for granted and seeing their face light up because we have taken the time to open up our home and our hearts. At times I was so exhausted I could have sat and cried, but I have cried more tears of joy just by being able to be a part of this child’s life and to see their face light up with each new experience, be that tasting a new food, getting new clothes or visiting a new place. They absorb everything and love and thrive being respected and treated as an equal in our family. If you’re thinking about fostering, give it a go, it won’t be for everyone but it is very rewarding and I don’t regret becoming a foster carer at all.” We hope you found this informative and if this has inspired you to find 21/1/09 out more about fostering please look at09:16:11 our website 09:16:11 www.easternfamilyservices.com or give us a call on 01206 299775 - we are always more than happy to answer any questions you might have and help you think about whether fostering is right for you and your family.

Combat Rising Energy Bills Electricity bills rise again, this time by around 10% and this is only the beginning. The Government’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and the energy companies need to invest in future energy infrastructure will continue to drive the price up. There is however, a way to combat this and that is to install Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels and generate your own electricity. Solar PV is becoming more popular, although there are still misunderstandings about how PV works and it is not always easy to find answers. Some companies still insist on the ‘hard sell’ which puts people off. If you want the facts without the hard sell then you should call Mark at Hadleigh based, Energy on Tap Limited. Energy on Tap Limited has many satisfied customers in and around the Hadleigh area that are now benefiting from reduced energy bills. We offer a friendly and personal service and after a short survey, we will give you a comprehensive report on the potential of your property to benefit from Solar PV. Armed with the facts, you can decide for yourself whether or not PV is for you.

Dear Sir
Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
Dear Sir With regard to the meeting held at the Town Hall on Wednesday 18th September re the proposed Petrol Station for Morrison's, I am concerned at how quiet this meeting was kept. Had I not received a leaflet through my door by 'a concerned someone' I would not have known about it despite living opposite the site, and I read in the EADT about a petition that was signed by 80 local residents against the siting of the petrol station - I wasn’t aware of this either, apparently Morrison's only invited those on the list to the meeting. Surely - all residents in the local area should have been made aware so that their views could be heard. Thank you to whoever posted the leaflet - I did go and register my opposition. Nicki Purcell
Dear Sir I am not sure where to start. If I can not find any item or it is too high up on the shelves a member of staff will always help me. Before the Co-op did their delivery service a member of staff would help me load my shopping on to my mobility scooter. A year and a half ago I had a stroke outside the back of the Coop. A member of staff took care of me and took me home. My delivery comes on time and I have help to carry it in. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I can not speak more highly of the service, the products are always fresh and there are lots of offers. Long live the Co-op! S. E. Willis-Betts
In response to the letter that Peter Burgoyne felt he had to write (October newsletter) I have a reply; Councillor your bias is showing! It should be borne in mind that some of us have been through this process several times, listening to the same unchanging clap-trap of the benefits that the town will accrue that do not appear to have been experienced anywhere else in the country. Perhaps the reason for the reaction of the audience to the presentation of the Planning Officer was because it was inept, amateurish and risible, and short on factual detail but with plenty of unsubstantiated assumptions. When it came to voting, having received Committee Papers with page upon page of objections and having heard from speakers of the consequences, six councillors inexplicably chose to vote for approval. Councillors who voted against approval were obliged to give written planning reasons for doing so, whilst the six were allowed to get away with saying the likes of “it will be easier to get to the vets”. I struggle to divine the imperative which has from day one of over 14 years, made Officers (and some Councillors) insistent that Hadleigh should have a supermarket (in this case another one) on the Brett Works site, to the point where, despite overwhelming opposition from all quarters, the Planning Officer recommends approval. Is it political, is it financial, is it for the kudos, or pressure to support crass commercialisation? There also has to be a reason why six councillors, elected to represent the views of residents, failed to do so. Incidentally, why were the other three councillors nominated to be amongst the committee membership of 16 not in attendance? D. A. Parker
Dear Sir There has been much surprise, disappointment and incredulousness about how some of our Councillors voted in the Tesco Planning Application. I would like to point out that there is a District Council election next year. Use your vote to make a change. S. Laing
Dear Sir
Dear Sir
It is a shame that Howard Gibbons felt that St Mary’s church looked ‘a mess’ due to the pool table and sofas which occupy a space in the church. My view is that Martin Thrower and his team do a fantastic job in offering youth club facilities to the young people of our town and have embraced one of the roles of the church, which is to reach out and offer love and support to the community. Removing the pews offers up a much wider range of options for the building. The United Reformed Church is about to do the same so that more clubs and community activities can use the building and the church will also have a more flexible space for its worship activities. In the case of St Mary’s I would say that the removal of some pews to accommodate youth club furniture is a small price to pay for the young people to have somewhere safe to be, where they can meet their friends and receive support and encouragement to deal with complex teenage issues. Sarah Parkinson
I am writing in the wake – appropriate word – of the closure of Partridges Farm Shop in the High Street. This came as quite a shock to me, one of very many loyal customers (all the more so because a couple of weeks previous to it closing I had noticed the emptiness of the shelves and had asked point blank if they were closing, to which I was told “no”!) and seems to be another nail in the coffin of what was precious about shopping in the High Street. I will miss them and their produce. It strikes me that we are increasingly running the risk of having a ‘High Street of the unimaginative’, with a succession of charity shops and beauty salons. Of course these are both very useful in their own right, and having them is infinitely preferable to the empty alternative, but perhaps they aren’t that likely to be the irresistible attraction that will ensure the continued survival of the very street they occupy… My thought has been for quite some time now (and more so since Edwards moved out of what are perfectly positioned, large premises) that it is a real shame that Hadleigh, of all places, with its large and varied population, and beautiful town centre, has no room for at least one antique shop – it used to have three. My guess would be that this also surprises and disappoints the passing visitor, who must find it hard to understand why the medieval heart of Hadleigh lacks what is a natural and obvious establishment in other similar market towns of its age. What has Edwards got to do with this? Just consider the increasing popularity of antique centres, where various dealers share a common space – and by extension I assume a single business rate, electricity bill etc – enabling the place to offer a much more varied choice of items. Wouldn’t this be a genuine attraction for people both from Hadleigh and elsewhere to browse around and in which to spend their money? Anyone who has been to an auction knows that an antique really does not need to have a three figure price tag, or anything close to that - it just needs to be old and beautiful, or old and quirky/interesting! As things stand, if I understand rightly, part of the Edwards premises is now to become…a charity shop. But what about the other, as yet unused part? Or perhaps some Hadleigh entrepreneur/developer with vision might consider it a valid reason to convert the river walk site into something that should prove popular with most residents for a change!…either with something along those lines in mind, or possibly by creating shared premises for artisans to work in (pottery? metalwork? jewellery making?) How nice if Hadleigh became known for its creative side. Just a thought… Christine Scott Fox

Kersey Mill Newsletter With the light starting to fade in the evening sky as the air turns colder many ducks who having left the banks of the mill stream during the summer after the full on parenthood times have returned to again make home in the low level trees along the river bank. A dart of electric midnight blue colour passing the mill gate on the river is a reminder of a summer watching the Kingfisher pluck fish from the water in those hazy days gone by. The progress on the mill is running to plan with the fifteen new Corten steel paddles being fabricated off site ready to be placed on the waterwheel in the new year, the next major task is to connect the heavy steel concave shaped plate that we recovered from under the wheel to a new oak timber then secure under and around the wheel within very close proximity to keep as much water as possible within the buckets adding to the efficiency of the wheel, new oak beams have been crafted and the sluice gate guides will hopefully be in place before Christmas – in the new year we hope to be able to start making the new sluice gate from English oak, the same as we used for the plates and for the sluice guides. Over the course of time the brick work in and around the mill has deteriorated, in some places quite considerably so during the warmer weather many repairs have been carried out to the brick work that forms The Race and The Weir. …Would you like to come along with the children to Santa’s Workshop this Christmas a unique experience at Kersey Mill during December, when the mill will be transformed? The children will first meet a story teller who asks for their help to keep a naughty Elf in order whilst Father Christmas is out. The children will meet Santa. They can help his Elf’s and see them working hard for Santa. And so the adventure begins…will you join us for this fund raising memorable experience? Please telephone 01473 829317 or see the web site for details. Allan Scott-Davies

TWO MEMORABLE FILMS FOR NOVEMBER! Friday 8th November at 7.30 pm
Song For Marion (PG) You applauded The Best Marigold Hotel and the film Quartet received a similar acclamation. Now we are delighted to present SONG FOR MARION, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Terence Stamp, a comedydrama nominated three times at the 2012 British Independent Film Awards. Arthur Harris is the grumpy husband of Marion who is terminally ill, yet she continues to participate at her local seniors' choir. As Marion's health deteriorates Arthur agrees, somewhat reluctantly, to take her place in the choir. The transition proves to be trying – thanks to the unconventional song book used by the choir. However, Arthur's experience in this new social environment will take him on a journey of self-discovery and thaw his bitterness, qualities that he will need in his imminent transition to life without Marion. Friday 22nd November at 7.30 pm
Joyeux Noel (12A) On 22nd November we are presenting a rather special evening. JOYEUX NOEL is a film that highlights an incident from the Great War that happened exactly 100 years ago at Christmas 1914. It is a French film with English subtitles which graphically illustrates the senseless barbarity of this war and life in the trenches. Entrance to each film is £3.50 on the door (£2.50 for accompanied children). PLEASE NOTE that because December is always so busy with the build up to Christmas, there will be no film screening. However, the committee wishes everyone festive greetings, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2014.

Our October meeting was held a week early and was a trip to Hyde Hall in Essex. The intrepid eight assembled in the swimming pool car park ready for the off - disaster the dear old A12 was still blocked by the accident that happened at 1am. We decided to take the northern route via Sudbury, of course everything was horribly jammed up. Two hours later we arrived (it should have been a 45 minute journey via A12) - after a short introductory talk we were let in to wander and marvel and what can be achieved by an army of proficient gardeners. Despite the bad start it was an enjoyable day - the sun shone and the gardens were magnificent, the vegetable garden was particularly colourful with gourds and squashes in abundance, It was a pity so few a the membership were able to join the outing. Our next meeting on 11th November at 7.30pm in the Town Hall is Phillip Bland talking about "All Types of Fruit Growing". The competition is "A vase of Autumn Flowers". Visitors always welcome.

Howard Birch of Nayland was surprised and pleased to be one of the lucky winners at the W J Green prize draw following their open week in September. Mr Birch is pictured here receiving the prize grass trimmer from the owner of W J Green, Roy Spong. There were many other great prizes won, including a lawnmower, chainsaw clothing and saw horse. Mr Spong said the open week had been a great success and it was nice to see so many new and existing customers coming in to have a look at the new showroom. The staff at W J Green are always on hand to give good advice on buying the right piece of garden machinery for the job and don’t forget they have special offers on various items in the shop all year round. They are also reminding people to get their lawnmowers booked in for the annual service now to beat the Spring rush. W J Green Ltd – 01473 823839

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts The last week has been dominated by the results of a gale on the eleventh of October. In the old hedge that divides my rear garden in half there is an Ash tree. This tree had been cut back when it was young with the result that it had 3 large trunks. The Northerly gale split one of these trunks away from the other 2 and brought a massive piece of tree down partly into my garden, and partly onto the Hornbeam & beech hedge that divides my garden from my neighbour. Happily damage was not serious. I have a couple of friends who with hand saw, and chain saw managed to extract the trunk from the hedge, and cut it up. The large stuff went to someone who has a log burner, with some choice bits going to a member of "The Chestnuts Woodturning Club" which meets in the URC committee room. An attempt to count the tree rings says that the tree was well over 100 years old. The small stuff had to be cut up and carted to the Council Recycling Centre. With the Ash disease spreading it was sad to be cutting up what appeared to be a healthy piece of tree. I shall now have to watch the two remaining trunks. There was one sad piece of damage. The falling tree hit one of my dwarf apple trees and broke it off at ground level. The variety called "Deacon's Millennium" was introduced by Deacons, the fruit tree grower on the Isle of Wight to mark the Millennium. It is an early eater, just a little bit later than Discovery, with a flavour that I love. I shall probably replace it even though it will be 3 years before I start to get apples from a replacement.Now is a very good time to be planting apple trees. In the last few days I have become more interested in slugs. Apparently we are being invaded by the "Spanish Slug", and are invited to report sightings to www.slugwatch.co.uk. The Spanish slug is a big brute which reproduces rapidly. I have tended to think that a slug is just a slug, although I do distinguish between those that feed underground on my potatoes, and those that eat young lettuces in my greenhouse. Actually there are 29 different native slugs in the United Kingdom before the arrival of the Spanish invader. Weather Records In September at Kersey there were 37.9 mm (1.5") of rain, which is about 60% of our average rainfall. The 3 month figure increased slightly to 112 mm (3.7") which is about 75 % of the average. In September the maximum temperature was 29 Cel (84F), which is several degrees warmer than average. The minimum temperature for September was 6 Cel (43F) which is quite normal. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 12 Cel (54F), which is 2 degrees warmer than average for mid October. Hints November is a good month to have a tidy up. Clear the dead plants out of those containers and baskets. Clean them up and put them away until next year. Clear leaves off of paths before people slip on them. If you only use a greenhouse for tomatoes clean it up and leave it tidy ready for the Spring. If you use your greenhouse throughout the year, the shading will need to be cleaned off, and the glass cleaned to give the best possible light to plants during Winter. There is still time to plant shrubs and fruit trees/bushes. If you are planting be generous in the space that you give them. It is easy for them to become overcrowded as they mature. Most of the 2014 seed catalogues are now available. Few of them now restrict themselves to seeds. They generally also offer "plug" plants, bulbs and perennials. As such the catalogues are a good read for the dark evenings. Now is about the right time to make an autumn sowing of one of the hardy broad beans like Aquadulce if you want to try it. The beginning of the month is still OK for planting sets of the Japanese onions. Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

MARQUIS OF CORNWALLIS
Letter www.layham.org from Layham Are you new to Layham? If you have just moved to the village and would like to know more about it, please visit our website www.layham.org, where you can download a Welcome Booklet. However, if you do not have a computer and printer and would prefer a hard copy of the booklet, please contact Jane Cryer, Parish Clerk, on 07920 713940.
Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Parish Council Meeting of Wednesday 2 October were: • Speeding The Clerk would chase the installation of a ‘SID’ device to monitor speeding through the village. • County Council report Any person living in Suffolk aged 16-19 could now apply for a free Endeavour Card, which provided a 25% discount on bus fares across the county. • Marquis of Cornwallis It was decided to hold an open meeting at 8pm on Monday 11 November in the Village Hall in order to see if there was any interest from the community in listing the Marquis as a community asset, which would provide a six month ‘window’ for a community group to prepare a bid for possible purchase. • Planning An application to extend the life of Layham Quarry was considered; the Parish Council would delay its response until after the next meeting of the Liaison Group, taking its feedback into consideration. • Post Office The Clerk was liaising with the Post Office over the possibility of an outreach post office facility for two hours per week in the Village Hall; she had been told that another potential option was a weekly visit to Layham by a mobile post office. She would report back when there was any further news. • Suffolk Wildlife Trust Two barn owl nesting boxes had been installed, one on the Playing Field and one on Brett Green. As the PC was keen to work with the Trust in future, it was agreed that it should become a member. • War Memorial project The Chairman reported that the Records Office had wills belonging to soldiers from WW1 available for sale at £6 each, some of which came with personal letters. The list of available wills included seven names on the village War Memorial and it was agreed that the PC should purchase these as part of the War Memorial project.
Do you care about the future of this listed building? Would you like to see the Marquis of Cornwallis re-open as a pub? If so, please come to an open meeting in the Village Hall at 8pm Monday 11 November to discuss the Community Right to Bid. The Community Right to Bid scheme was introduced by the Government in the Localism Act 2011, and came into force in September 2012. The aim is to give community groups time to make realistic bids to buy land or buildings that are of importance to the local community when they come up for sale. Under the Community Right to Bid, community groups are able to nominate non-residential buildings or land within their communities as 'assets of community value' which cannot be sold without the community group being given the opportunity to put together a bid to purchase the asset. The Community Right to Bid does not give preferential treatment to community groups in the sale of the asset. However, it gives them the time to prepare a bid so that they have a realistic chance of purchasing the asset. The members of the Parish Council feel that they should sound out the community - so, if you are interested and willing to be a member of a group working to retain the Marquis, we hope to see you at the meeting.

Playing Field Work Session Saturday 21 September was a work morning for several members of the Playing Field Management Committee. Thanks to the good work of Colin Brown, Neil Riches, Lester Bennett, John Millman, Jane and Nick Elliott and the voluntary effort of Rowan Bennett and Ron Gunn much good work was done – including re-turfing one of the goalmouths; cutting back some of the nettles and completing the weeding of the Mill Lane hedge line.
Barn Owl nest boxes Suffolk Wildlife Trust is running a scheme to provide barn owl nest boxes for sites where there is a good chance of nesting taking place. These were advertised some months ago and your Parish Council applied to be considered. The outcome is that two large boxes have been placed on trees in the village.
Andy Thorp worked on the willow dome on another day – binding in a lot of the new growth. The most important job was to re-edge the play apparatus pits. This was done with substantial timber and should now last as long as the apparatus. The first photograph shows Colin and Neil at work on that edging. Since that work was completed a consignment of wood chippings has been delivered and spread in the pits by Ron Gunn, Andy Thorp and Michael Woods. The second photograph is of Ron at work on the chippings.
The picture shows Neil Reekie and Glen Drury (both local tree surgeons) with the box they are about to place on a willow tree beside the river in the conservation area of the Playing Field. The second box is in one of the large trees overlooking the river in Brett Green. The sites were thought to be suitable as the meadows between Layham and Hadleigh provide a suitable hunting ground for the birds.
Toad of Layham Playing Field A healthy toad was living happily in the wood chippings of the slide pit until a noisy group of human beings disturbed his hiding place during the renovation work. We hope it has moved to another location and found itself a snug hibernation place for the winter.

Layham Playgroup Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s getting cold! After all the wind and rain last week we have been thinking about autumn. We have been for walks up and down the lane to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and other signs of autumn. We were lucky enough one day to see the farmer and his tractor in the field. We have been reading Percy the Park Keeper. Percy builds the animals new homes after their tree falls over in the wind. We thought we could build the insects and little creatures in the playgroup garden some homes for the winter, so we have been making a 'winter hotel'. The children used the moss, leaves, twigs we collected on our walks to make the nest; they also added straws for the tiny insects to crawl into.

We have also used the leaves to make collages and leaf painting. The children seem to be very good at mixing brown paint, so this has come in very handy for making autumn pictures. We have been reading The Owl Babies, using our story sack with animal puppets to help retell the story. It encourages the children to get involved in the story telling which they love doing. We have also started to read The Gruffalo, which is linking in nicely with the colder weather we have been having. After half term we will be looking at ‘our favourite books’ and starting our festive activities. Our Toddler group takes place every Wednesday morning 9.30-11.00am and is open to all children aged 0-5years. We hold a cake sale every first Wednesday of the month. Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh. Government funding is available for 3 year olds and in certain cases for some 2 year olds. If you are looking to creatively occupy your 2 – 4yr old and would like an information pack or would like to arrange a visit, please contact us on 07999 866419 or email us at admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk

The HCN October item from the Bowling Club included a photograph of our members at the closing day fancy dress drive provided by Peter Cutts and our thanks to him for that. As could be seen from the photograph there were more Hippies than Rockers but member’s efforts added to the fun for the closing drive of Ladies v Men. The ranks of the ladies were bolstered by a couple of cross dressers who enthusiastically accepted the role. The drive ended in an honourable draw of 3 wins each. The afternoon was concluded with an excellent BBQ provided by Margaret Clarke and her band of helpers all of whom did a great job which was very much appreciated. The celebrations continued into the evening with dancing to live music provided by “Buzz” very much continuing the theme of the day with some good old fashioned Rock n Roll. Jan Austin won the best female fancy dress and Peter Vanstone won best male. However many members had put a lot of effort into their outfits and it all added to a memorable closing day. Congratulations to Janice White who reached the final of the BE Suffolk Novice Singles. Apologies to Janis for omitting this from last months report.

Hopefully, we can build on this year's success and have an even more successful 2014.

Hadleigh Invitation Summer Darts League The league title was decided on the last day of the season with three teams in contention, Cock A, Hadleigh George A, and The Legion Jets respectively,The George A won their match 8-2 against the Brewers A, but knew they could only win the league if the Jets and the Cock A both slipped up, news did filter through that the Jets were losing at The Eight Bells, and The Cock A were struggling against a spirited display by Hintlesham Social Club, as it turned out the Jets did indeed lose their match 6-4, relegating them into 3rd place, but The Cock A managed a draw giving them the title by one point, a fitting end to a great season of darts.

The last Sunday in September saw Hadleigh Tennis Club celebrate the end of the summer season with the traditional President`s tournament. The tournament is a fun event, but still with a competitive edge. Members of The club play tennis in a variety of match formats, including mixed doubles, ladies and men’s doubles and this year in a new format “championsâ€? team tennis. Throughout the morning event, individual players accumulate points towards the result of the tournament. As always, the tournament was well support by members of the club and their guests, with 18 competitors striving to win the “President`s Cupâ€? and other prizes. The eventual winner, by only 1 point, was Trevor Rowland, who received the “Ken Goddard memorial cupâ€?, from Peter Richards, Hadleigh Tennis Club’s president. Other prizes were won by Angela Forrest and Dominica Yannaghas. The competition was followed by a convivial buffet lunch where members and guests discussed the points thatâ€? just got awayâ€?. This year the members were pleased to raise a glass to celebrate Andy Murray’s fine performance in becoming the first British man in 77 years to win The All England Lawn Tennis Club’s (Wimbledon) Gentlemen`s singles title. If you want to become a “Wimbledonâ€? champion you need to start playing soon, so why not at Hadleigh Tennis Club? Our website provides directions to the club and courts.

21.9.13 - A quick paced match began from the whistle with both Hadleigh Utd and Lawshall Lions playing strongly. Hadleigh settled quickly and producing some excellent passing and moving forward saw Tyler French open up the score sheet and give Hadleigh the advantage. Unfortunately this was not to last long as Lawshall had equalised within minutes and then gained another to take the lead. Hadleigh upped their game and Tyler French gained his second and the equaliser to take the score 2 - 2 at half time. Hadleigh began the second half strongly and from a corner kick Oliver Peters slotted the ball into the back of the net to regain the lead for Hadleigh. A truly superb match unfolded with both teams playing some first class football. Hadleigh managed to hold off Lawshall's attempts until the last minutes of the game when a free kick awarded in the area found its way into the back of the net. Final score Lawshall Lions 3 - Hadleigh 3. 28.9.13 –A fast paced match between Hadleigh Utd and Witnesham Wasps began with both teams evenly matched. Play flowed from end to end with some strong defending and backup in goal from each team. Witnesham opened up the score sheet but Hadleigh had soon equalised when Mekhi Mckenzie slammed the ball into the back of the net. Play continued well upto half time. Hadleigh began the second half strongly, settling quickly and pushing forward. This paid off for them when Mekhi Mckenzie delivered the ball to the edge of the box and Dan Risby crossed the ball in. Captain Oliver Peters back heel touch tucked neatly into the corner of the net to give Hadleigh the lead. Witnesham upped their game but Hadleigh defended strongly. An exciting match to watch and Witnesham pushed on to gain the equaliser. Final score Hadleigh 2 - Witnesham 2. 5.10.13 – Hadleigh’s first Cup match against Trimley Red Devils ended in a huge win for Hadleigh under 15’s with the final score Hadleigh 23 – Trimley 0.

Roger Sweatman - A founding member of Hadleigh Hares Athletics Club As the founding chairman of Hadleigh Hares, way back in 1984, it was with great sadness that I recently learned of the passing of Roger Sweatman, earlier this year. Roger was a member of the first committee, and was an enthusiastic and capable runner, posting some very creditable times in events ranging from 2 miles up to marathons, including London. I trained and competed with him for many years, and he always gave his all for the Club. He also had the unique distinction of coming up with the name of 'Hadleigh Hares', which was agreed after asking for suggestions from members. He had long since moved away from Hadleigh, and spent his final years in Scotland, but I was in touch with him only around the turn of the year. I know that he would have been very pleased and proud at how the Club has developed over the past 30 years. Robert Carr

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group & Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk With a quarter of the season gone, results for Hadleigh United have been good. At the time of writing, the first team were top of the league and had progressed to the semi finals of the Suffolk Premier Cup. A difficult league match against Gorleston at the Millfield saw Hadleigh trailing until James Blades equalised in the last minute. A hard match against Brightlingsea produced a good performance resulting in a win for us by four goals to two before an away game at Newmarket was won with Scoot Chaplin on target with the deciding goal just before the end. A home match against Wivenhoe saw us behind at the interval but three goals in the second half gave Hadleigh a deserved victory. Ely City produced strong opposition but again Hadleigh came out on top by the odd goal of five. An away match at Stanway produced good football by both sides with Hadleigh winning by three goals to two. A knee injury to Ollie Canfer cast a shadow over another great display. In the Suffolk Premier Cup we were at home to Mildenhall with teenagers Tommy Newbigging and Sam Sharp on the substitutes bench. The game was level until the last minutes when three goals in quick succession gave us victory by four goals to one. In the next round we face a hard task at Needham Market. Hadleigh Reserves are a young team containing a number of players who have good futures in the game. A tremendous win at Whitton by four goals to one was the best performance with Harry Evans scoring twice. An exciting home match against Halstread Reserves saw six goals shared with Harry Evans scoring twice and Brett Crisp getting the other one. A Suffolk Cup match at Haverhill Borough Reserves resulted in defeat despite goals by Evans and Sam Sharp. Unfortunately Haverhill scored five times for a convincing home win. Our Thurlow Nunn youth team have been very busy with a F.A Cup match at Lowestoft being the hardest task. We did well to only lose by two goals. An excellent win at Witham by four goals to nothing was a fine performance on a cold and wet night. Our Thurlow Nunn youth team plays midweek and their matches usually provide plenty of good football. Terry Adams

WPGA International Challenge at Stoke by Nayland enjoys a thrilling finish Hannah Ralph produced the golf strokes of a master in Constable Country to win the WPGA International Challenge at Stoke by Nayland at the end of September. In what proved a dramatic climax to the third and final round that had seen the lead change hands with bewildering regularity, Ralph posted birdies on the final two holes to claim the £4,000 winner’s cheque. Amy Boulden failed to capitalise on her birdie chance and finished three strokes adrift of Ralph and sharing second place with Galina Rotmistrova of Russia. A selection of Great Britain and Ireland’s top female PGA pros competed against rising stars of the future in the inaugural WPGA International Challenge at the family-owned Stoke by Nayland resort. The 54-hole tournament, which was sponsored by the host venue, was the only Ladies European Tour Access Series event scheduled in the United Kingdom. The family owners at Stoke by Nayland were excited about gracing the international golf stage once more as the only UK destination on the 2013 LETAS schedule. Among the golfers looking for a share of the £25,000 prize fund was former Solheim Cup winning captain and US Women’s Open champion Alison Nicholas. Now a fully qualified PGA Professional, Nicholas, who was awarded an MBE in 1997 for her services to golf, will serve as a reminder of the rewards that can follow success at this level of the sport. Simon Higginbottom, The PGA’s head of tournaments, said: “Alison Nicholas has been at the forefront of women’s golf in the UK and across the world for two decades and to have a player of her Alison Nicholas MBE tees off calibre competing at Stoke by Nayland one of the holes at the WPGA will no doubt inspire.” International Challenge Local rising amateur, and member of Stoke by Nayland since her early teens, Hannah Moul also received a guest pass to play in the event. Although she didn’t make the cut, Hannah benefitted from the experience gained from playing in this high profile WPGA and LETAS championship in such esteemed company. In addition to England, Scotland and Wales, 19 countries have representatives in the tournament which is the only Ladies European Tour Access (LETAS) event scheduled in the United Kingdom. Preceding the 3 day event was a Pro Am, with the top 25 lady professionals from the main event, and amateur players included BBC Look East’s Stewart White and Tom Williams.

Small town club, Hadleigh RFC, entered four youth teams into the Touchline Suffolk Rugby 7s at the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook. Against the odds, Hadleigh came away with the Trophy in the U13s, the Plate in the U15s, and the Shield at U16, whilst the U14 narrowly lost in the Trophy Semi-Finals. It was a great achievement for the Club, which is one of the youngest and smallest in the County, beating off many sides from much larger and more established rugby clubs. It was the first time in the Club's brief history that a Hadleigh Youth team has won a major trophy, and was a successful day for all of their Youth teams. In the U13s there were some excellent performances notably from Dan Squirrell, Harvey Clements and Oscar Farrow (all three from Hadleigh High School), and some superb finishing from Toyo Ogunlesi and captaincy by Toby Braybrooke ( both of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook). Hadleigh U13s were worthy champions, scoring 219 points for and only 26 against, over the six match unbeaten run. The U14s won three of their four pool games to qualify for the semi-final of the Trophy, where they were unfortunately beaten by Southwold. Eight of the sixteen boys in the squad managed to get on the score sheet during the day with Jake Hudson and James Hindmarsh scoring 5 tries each and Robert Bray scoring 4. The U15s won three matches on their way to the Plate Final, with Captain, Arthur Romer-Lee, scoring a plethora of tries before unfortunately sustaining an injury. New-comer, Sam Cantelo, gained a hat trick in the run up to the final and other squad members worked hard to overcome some tough opposition. In the final against Ipswich, Sam Hindley scored a terrific first-half hat trick of tries to put Hadleigh in charge resulting in the U15s lifting the Plate 38-12. The most senior youth side at the Club, the U16s, not known for their quick starts at tournaments, surprised all by securing victories against Ipswich YM and Stowmarket, scoring 70 points in the process. They were defeated by Colchester A team and Ipswich, but maintained their composure to take home the Shield after outplaying Ipswich YM B team in the semis and Brightlingsea in the Final. Chairman of Hadleigh RFC, Charlie Warburton, congratulated the performance of all the youth players involved, “I have been blown away by the determination and outstanding play by these young players. It is a historical milestone for Hadleigh RFC as this is the first time a Youth Team has won a major trophy up against the larger and well established clubs”.
