Surviving Winter in Hadleigh ‘Surviving Winter in Hadleigh’ is Hadleigh’s own charity and with all formalities completed we are now ready to move on. Are you prepared to let a neighbour suffer or even possibly die this winter? Some facts: 18,200 people in England and Wales died as a result of fuel poverty in 2013/14. Thirty were in Babergh D.C. (National Statistic Office). It is generally expected that over 350 of such deaths each year will be in Suffolk. Age U.K. Suffolk are the principal charity who administer the national Surviving Winter appeal to assist those who are in winter fuel poverty. One of the aims of SWH is to support Age U.K. where the need is required or any other causes identified, in addition to having our own SWH identity. It is a well known fact that warmth can be retained longer by the provision of thermal fleece items to meet individual circumstances. Where a person or household is already in receipt of extra fuel allowance support we will supply thermal packs upon application. Extra fuel will be provided on the same basis and will be paid direct by us to the supplier. Out of hours call out charges for emergency repairs to heating equipment will be paid direct to the
supplier by SWH, (any repair or routine maintenance costs are the owner's responsibility). There will be no vouchers or cash distributed as we will pay all suppliers direct. Our aim is to provide this service to Hadleigh and eight of the adjoining villages, we will include the three remaining larger villages when funds permit. The Met Office forecast is for a winter as snowy and cold as in 2009/10. The El Nino weather forecast is it could be as powerful as 1950. This was one of the snowiest winters ever. We are very pleased to have received our first tangible support from Mrs. Mellersh of Benton Street,Hadleigh. Would you contribute toward making life this winter easier for, or even preventing the possible death of, a friend or neighbour ? A contribution of £20 will provide a thermal pack for a two person household. Perhaps other local groups can assist from any surplus accounts that they may be able to donate from.

Corn Exchange Following its meeting on Thursday 15 October 2015 Hadleigh Town Council regretfully announced that it will not be pursuing the purchase of the Corn Exchange which was made an Asset of Community Value in 2014. The Town Council had held two open days in the Corn Exchange to allow the public and interested parties to see what could be done with the building for the community. Two interested parties had made presentations to the Town Council in connection with community based projects for the Corn Exchange both of which it supported in principle. After investigations into options for the purchase of the building the Finance Committee met to discuss the financial implications for the Town Council should it make an offer to purchase. Careful consideration was given by the Finance Committee to all the options available and they unanimously agreed to recommend to the full Council that it would not be financially viable to purchase the Corn Exchange. Furthermore the Committee did not feel it appropriate for the Town Council to support one interested party over the other as both projects would be good for the community in Hadleigh. It is now likely that the Corn Exchange will be sold by Suffolk County Council on the open market and Hadleigh Town Council would fully support any interested party that may purchase it for community use.
It must be a Sign! Guests arriving late, having missed the turning for Hadleigh, should be a thing of the past! The new sign on the A12 showing the Hadleigh exit has now been erected. “My constant badgering of Suffolk Highways, Amey the engineers and others, has at last succeeded. It is such a relief to see the new sign in place - even I, a resident of Hadleigh, would sometimes get frustrated as I missed the Hadleigh exit on a dark night,” says Kathryn Grandon, Babergh District Councillor for Hadleigh South. “It was ridiculous that a town the size of Hadleigh was not shown on the sign, yet the village of East Bergholt was. I am glad that it has now been rectified. I am grateful to our MP, James Cartlidge, who ensured that it happened.” A new weight limit sign has also been James Cartlidge, MP, with erected on the Colchester-bound Kathryn Grandon, Babergh carriageway, which is intended to help alleviate the problem of large lorries District Councillor for Hadleigh travelling through Benton Street. South, under the new A12 sign James Cartlidge added: “I am delighted that the signs have finally been installed. I congratulate Councillor Grandon on all of her hard work in this matter and thank her for bringing it to my attention”. Visitors will now have to find a new excuse if they are late! Kathryn Grandon

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard and his mother in Monte Carlo This month we have glamour in spades. 2015 has been a special year for the Cunard Line as it celebrates its 175 years of history. You may have seen the glorious sight of the three ships of the line the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth proudly presented at Liverpool at the end of May. My mother, Brenda and I enjoyed a short break on Queen Victoria just after she had left Liverpool. We trotted along ports in the Mediterranean and the picture shows us in front of the Royal Palace at Monte Carlo. The Grimaldi family have been resident on the site for some seven hundred years. The weather was glorious and I was excited to see Monte Carlo again which I had last visited in 1985. It was amazing to see so many beautiful yachts as we were moored in the Marina. Simon Weston was on board and gave a fascinating and moving lecture about the Falklands and his life that followed. My chauffeur Frank and my housekeeper Maria continue to be very well, thank you. Naturally, they had to travel with my mother and I to attend to our multifarious needs. That included having a motor car craned off the ship at our various ports of call. The Commodore did suggest that it may have been easier to have hired a limousine at each port of call! There is just so much involved when the entourage moves overseas. I know that many of you have been concerned to hear news of my miniature dachshund Tilly who recently underwent a back operation having lost the use of her back legs. I am delighted to say that Tilly is making an excellent recovery. I am glad that you were all interested to hear about Big Ben. You will have seen recently that many millions of pounds of work are required to the tower and so I was pleased to have been able to have my tour when I did. Some agents tell me that the property market is slowing down, however, our instructions have continued at a reasonable rate. One parcel of land can be subject to so many interests in existence at one time and so it is so important that a title is properly investigated. Titles in this area only became subject to first registration in the 1990s and thus there are still a good number of unregistered titles that can require some careful attention in order to know that first registration can be achieved without difficulty. There is a great deal to be done in the Conveyancing process and that is why the purchase of a property is not “see it today and complete it tomorrow”. We look forward to hearing from you if you are buying or selling a house. It is so important to have one’s information marshalled and ready in advance. Howard Gibbons

Scuffs and Scrapes Winter warning from motoring experts! Most motorists understand that keeping car paintwork in good condition prevents rust, both extending the life of their car and maintaining its value. However, whilst repairing major damage is a must, minor damage such as scratches, scuffs and bumps are often left, either due to concerns about cost, or the inconvenience of having the car off the road for a couple of days or more in a body shop. However, as autumn and winter approach, motoring experts agree that minor damage can turn into a major headache. Stewart Topp, AA Patrol of the Year advises, “Check for stone chips as rust forms very quickly in the cold, damp weather,” while Mike Gilderson of Scuffs and Scrapes, adds, “It certainly pays to repair even small scuffs and scratches, as these can spread into larger areas of rust, ultimately costing you dearly if left untreated.” “As the AA points out, it’s a smart move, to get your car repaired if you have any form of minor damage to your paintwork,” advises Mike Gilderson of Scuffs and Scrapes. “Whether a scratch, scuff, chip or dent, a cosmetic repair will not only make sure your car looks good, but will seal the area of damage, making it weatherproof and prevent rust setting in. If you leave it, the rust will eventually lead to corrosion which could ultimately result in a more extensive – and expensive – repair!” Mike uses a special system developed by ICI , which can repair small areas of damage within only a few hours and at a fraction of the cost of traditional body shop repair methods. What’s more, because Mike operates from a fully equipped mobile workshop, he can come to your home (or your place of work) and undertake the repair at your convenience, prolonging your cars life and improving its resale value. For further advice about winter motoring visit the AA website or, for a FREE no obligation estimate, with paintwork repairs starting from £65.00, contact Mike Gilderson at Scuffs and Scrapes on 01473 824909 or 07425 583478.
Pause for Thought - Laser surgery needed! When people hear that I'm a Christian they say things like: ‘So you must be really religious and don't do anything wrong’ or ‘you must be judgemental’, ‘a do as I say not as I do type’! I'm happy to say they are all wrong. You see, following Christ doesn't mean you've got it right, far from it because it means you realise just how wrong you've been in the past and you still make some of those mistakes but you're learning and you've consciously turned away from doing wrong. So how do you move in the right direction? Simple really, by reading God's Word the Bible. I listen to sermons at Church and do some reading and research. Jesus is a very accurate surgeon using skilful hands. He knows what's wrong with me and operating with perfection, slices away bad attitudes, thoughts, motives and actions. I'm becoming a better person but it's taking time so thank God he's both skilful and patient. Revelation 1 verse 2. “Blessed is the one who reads this prophesy aloud and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near”. Kenny Sanderson

Beaumont School Report For us at Beaumont the start of the school year is always exciting as we welcome new pupils into the school. We have 14 children starting in our Reception year as well as several new arrivals in other year groups, taking our numbers on roll up to 110. It is amazing how quickly these new children settle into their new environment and learn the school routines, helped on by pupils returning for another year at Beaumont. This term sees the commencement of a 2 year European funded Erasmus Project, with the first visits being made to partner schools this term. Beaumont school has been involved in these types of projects in the past and is now embarking, as a lead school, on forging new links with various European schools new to the project. The Erasmus project aims to develop knowledge and understanding among young people and education staff of the diversity of European cultures and languages. It aims to help young people to acquire basic life skills and competences for their personal development, for future employment and for active European citizenship. The focus for the participating schools will be the work that goes on in modern foreign language education. Here at Beaumont we feel privileged to have a specialist language teacher and feel we can share our good practice with our European neighbours, at the same time as learning from their strengths. During the project the schools will undertake study visits to partner schools, observe demonstrations of good practice and trial new ideas. As a school we also pride ourselves on the links we make with our local community. As part of this we make available our school hall to local groups for use in the evenings. Groups that have used our facilities include the Yoga group, Hadleigh Carpet Bowls and The Hadleigh Orchestra. Please contact the school office if you are interested in organising a letting on 01473 825120 Finally, all of Key Stage 2 were lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit Dinosaur Adventure in Norfolk as part of their studies on Dinosaurs and Evolution. Enjoy a report of the day by Callum in Year 6 which follows: When we first arrived, I was really excited to see all the dinosaurs peering out of the park. I couldn’t wait to get inside! Our adventure awaits… We entered the maze, ‘The Lost World’. I was really scared at first, but when I screamed and jumped behind Mr Shinn my teacher, I felt a lot better! The maze was all dark and spooky, with a good chance of death! When we all escaped, we ran out the maze, and surprisingly, we survived! The dinosaur trail! Once we stepped foot into the trail we stopped and looked ahead to see what we had to get through. And there it was, the Diplodocus stood right in front of us… After seeing the humungous dinosaur, we met lots of other dinosaurs which were on the trail. We had a very close encounter with Tyrannosaurs Rex at the very end of the trail. The small animal’s park After the trail, and the snack, we went to see the small animals. When we got there, we went inside and saw lots of cute animals like: pigs, rabbits, goats and wallabies. My favourite animal outside were the wallabies. When we got inside, we saw: a python, some rats, a massive tortoise and guinea pigs! My favourite inside was the massive tortoise. More fun! Next we went on the extremely fun go karts and whizzed around the track two times. Then, we went to the gift shop. I bought lots of sweets and two funny dinosaurs. After that, we went to the sandpit, dug up some interesting fossils, and then had lunch. Afterwards we went to play in the park for 30 minutes, then we sadly had to go home. I hope we get to go back to Dinosaur Adventure soon!

Profound thanks to the great people of the Black Shuck Motorcycle Club who raised £500 for Rosa’s Fund. It was a great privilege for me to meet them recently – although I did feel rather under-dressed! I was also able to see the Yamaha keyboard – purchased via a donation from Rosa’s Fund – in operation when I visited St. Elizabeth’s Hospice in Ipswich. Musician Ray Travasso provides weekly music sessions for the young people at the Hospice and it was clear that the keyboard is a very welcome addition to their music-making. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Fund to date – it was you who made gifts like this happen! Readers of the HCN may recall our report back in an earlier issue this year about the fantastic music workshop and concert in June supported by Rosa’s Fund and run by jazz pianist Pete Letanka and many, many kind volunteers. To see the real excitement and joy of the children as they learned new songs and performed them in front of a capacity crowd was a deeply humbling experience. Well, the good news is that Pete Letanka is coming back to do something similar next year. We’ve provisionally booked him for June 4th 2016. More details in later issues of the HCN. The Hadleigh Junior Choir, funded by Rosa’s Fund, launched in September and rehearsals are now taking place every Thursday in the United Reformed Church from 6pm. And don’t forget the first ever Hadleigh & District Young Musician of the Year competition, again back by Rosa’s Fund, is to be held on 28th November

Hadleigh Evening WI At their October meeting Hadleigh Evening WI were delighted to welcome speaker, Baburgh district councillor for Hadleigh North, Dr Sian Dawson. She confessed that her greatest inspiration and reason for entering politics had been Margaret Thatcher, female icon of British politics who was running the country while Sian was growing up. Margaret demonstrated that women are capable of leadership in politics, which is not seen by young people today. After the surprisingly difficult selection process, Sian ran as the conservative parliamentary candidate for the Bath constituency in the 2005 general election. She came second to liberal democrat Don Foster. Later that year she attended the state opening as a guest. Here she met her heroine Margaret Thatcher, who congratulated her on achieving the largest increase in votes for a female in any party in that election. Sian took a break from politics to read and gain a PHD. Recently, keen to do something more practical, Sian has trained to become a podiatrist/chiropodist and has set up a practice in Queen Street, Hadleigh, her home town. After her talk Sian joined us for our harvest supper. 2015 has been a year for WI celebrations. National has reached it centenary. The West Suffolk Federation is ninety five and Hadleigh Evening WI has celebrated its golden anniversary. Three of our members joined members from other Federation WIs on a trip to Peterborough. They enjoyed shopping in the modern complex. However the main purpose was their visit to a Sikh temple. Here they were told about the religion’s moral principles and participated in a taster service, which included readings from the Holy book. Next month’s meeting will be held on 17 November in the Seminar suite above the library. Sandy and Ellen will be talking about their experience of diving. Visitors and new members are welcome.

New Play Equipment to be installed at Cox’s Park A brand new piece of play equipment to replace the helter skelter slide will be installed in Cox’s Park, Hadleigh on Monday 2 November 2015. Following an act of vandalism last year, several pieces of play equipment in Cox’s Park had to be repaired, cleaned and repainted, but sadly the popular helter skelter could not be repaired and had to be removed. Before going ahead to replace this, officers from Babergh invited local families to an event in May to ask them what type of play equipment they would like to take the place of the helter skelter. The overwhelming response from those who took part in the engagement exercise narrowed the options down to two types of play equipment; the Sitting Rotator and a climbing slide or climbing platform. Once these results were made public, park users were then given the opportunity to make a straight choice between these two pieces of equipment. Local people were given the option of voting either online, at Hadleigh Leisure Centre or at the council offices in Corks Lane. Out of a total of 266 votes cast, the sitting rotator came out on top with 60.5% of those who responded preferring this piece of play equipment over the climbing slide. Following this result, Babergh purchased a ‘Hip Hop’ rotator which is being installed at the beginning of November. As, during installation, the park will be closed and the new equipment will not be ready for use for a couple of days it was decided to carry out this work after half term to avoid causing any disruption for those families who wish to use the park during the school holiday. The new equipment will be ready to use on Thursday 5th November. During the closure, the zip wire will also be repaired. Councillor Frank Lawrenson, Babergh District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Environment said, “Firstly we would like to thank everyone who took the time and made the effort to get involved in the engagement exercise. Listening to local people and finding out what piece of play equipment families wanted to replace the helter skelter has also given us a great opportunity to discover what else we can do to improve the park, which includes providing additional seating and turning around one of the benches so that parents can sit and watch their children at play. We know this park is highly valued and much loved by the local community and I’m sure the ‘hip hop’ will be a hugely popular addition to what is already there.”

This year, as we continue to mark the centenary of the First World War, the Royal British Legion is asking everyone to support the Poppy Appeal for the memory of the fallen and the future of the living. The Legion created the Poppy Appeal to help those returning from the First World War. A century on from the start of that conflict, we're still helping today's Armed Forces families in much the same way, whether coping with bereavement, living with disability, or finding employment. The poppy is a powerful symbol - it is worn to commemorate the sacrifices of our Armed Forces and to show support to those still serving today and their loved ones. Money raised through the Poppy Appeal goes directly to our welfare work, providing through-life care to anyone who currently serves in the British Armed Forces, who has previously served, and their families. This could include supporting: Bereaved families to cope after the loss of a loved one Those leaving the Forces into work and housing Older veterans to get the care and support they need and deserve. Our vital welfare work is entirely dependent on the public's support – so please give generously and wear your poppy with pride, knowing that with your donation you can help all of these people and the entire Armed Forces community to Live On. LIVE ON - To the memory of the fallen and the future of the living
Chronic Cough Treatment at Hadleigh Physiotherapy Do you have a troublesome cough? Does it wake you at night or interrupt exercise? Does it interfere with your ability to talk and laugh with your friends and family or enjoy a meal out? Does it lead to social embarrassment? A chronic cough is one that has lasted more than 8 weeks. Some people with a chronic cough produce phlegm whilst others are dry. A chronic cough can develop with the use of certain medications or due to lung or gastric problems. These conditions include Gastric reflux, Asthma, COPD, Bronchiectasis and Nasal/Sinus congestion. Chronic cough leads to a significant reduction in quality of life. Respiratory Physiotherapy can help your cough in several ways. Our Respiratory Physiotherapist, Sarah Fowler, can help you to clear your phlegm with less coughing, manage nasal and sinus congestion but also teach you practical techniques to reduce the frequency of your cough and take better care of your airways. Sarah’s aim of treatment is to give you better control of your cough and therefore reduce its impact on your life. Sarah is now also offering The Buteyko Method – a course of treatment for Asthma sufferers – as part of her services. For more information and to book an appointment with Sarah, ring us on 01473 810185. Give Health & Wellbeing for Christmas! This year we’re offering for the first time Christmas Gift Vouchers that can be redeemed against all our services and products.

Poltergeist at large...! If something appears to fall from a shelf with no-one nearby, we always blame Mr Bloomfield. He’s the resident ‘shop keeper’ from days gone by.. so we’ve been reliably informed.. he appears content with how we are looking after the Old Bakery, as nothing too untoward has happened so far... The Old Bakery Emporium in the heart of Hadleigh is crammed with all things Vintage - including Eastern rugs, books, pictures, porcelain, glassware, pewter, collectables.. and all you would expect for that country look! Snuggled comfortably along side is a newly opened fabric section with remnants, bolts of curtain and upholstery material. Berni has opened her paint studio ‘Be’ at the top of the shop selling painted French-inspired furniture, stylish collectables, and stocks Autentico chalk paint. The stock in the shop is always changing as all items are one-offs, so if you see a piece you love don’t hang around, snap it up! It’s that time of year again and Christmas trees - non-drop Nordmann Spruce - will be on sale this year from the first weekend in December. Many who bought last year came back to tell us they were the best trees they had ever had! Can’t argue with customers...! Looking for inspiration for presents, then come and check out the Emporium! Beats ending up giving a gift token.. And should you find yourself alone on the first floor but feel someone is watching, it could just be Mr Bloomfield...

Hadleigh U3A Update The past twelve months have seen our U3A continue to thrive in numbers of members - now approaching 250 - and events held, as well as our 29 special interest groups and our monthly speaker meetings. Our members are free to participate in different permutations of these activities as they wish. Our monthly speakers have covered a wide variety of subjects - we all discovered our inner Marie Lloyd singing along to music hall songs, sailing round the world on a container ship and were carried away with a mesmerising performance of tales of life at Shakespeare's Globe. We learned about Scott's forgotten surgeon, artists who painted horses, the many and varied aspects of natural pearls and looked at the history of Hadleigh and the people of Suffolk from a number of different angles. A full programme of speakers is already in place for the coming year. We had theatre visits to the Regent and the theatre Royal in Norwich and more opera and drama are coming up in the near future. And we again supported the region's Untapped Writer's Group performances and a spent a memorable evening of Jazz at the Fleece in Stoke-by-Nayland. Inspired by last year's guided tour of St Pancras, for this year's holiday we travelled to Bruges by Eurostar and I know I learned far more from our guided tours there than ever I did on a previous social trip with friends. Further afield we went on a fascinating tour of the institutions of the City of London including a lecture and tour of the Bank of England Museum, Lloyds of London and lunch at the Honorable Artillery Company. We also took another of Andrew Davies' Unknown London tours, this one exploring Legal London including the Law Courts and the original Bank of England - who knew the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street started life elsewhere? And in July a sunny summer day was enjoyed at the RHS Flower Show at Hampton Court. As ever we enjoyed our summer party at the Guildhall generously catered by our members with much hilarity from David Deacon teaching us about the dialects of old Suffolk, then yet another fully booked Christmas lunch, this time at Hintlesham Hall where we shall return this year. The U3A slogan is learn, laugh and live and we do our best to provide varied and appropriate opportunities for our members to do just that. There are no age limits and the only criteria for membership is that people are no longer in full-time paid employment. The annual subscription is just £12.00 per year, which includes twelve monthly meetings and a quarterly Newsletter with additional activities at extra cost depending on the event. As ever, new members are always welcome. No academic qualifications are required and no examinations are involved. So why not come along and see what you think? Our monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 2.30 pm at the Ansell Centre. To find out more go to www.u3asuffolknetwork.org.uk and follow the links to Hadleigh Suffolk U3A.

Financial Orders: Can A Final Financial Order be reviewed? There has been recent press coverage of Ms Sharland and Ms Gohil’s appeal for receiving a larger financial settlement than they were initially awarded by the Court during their divorce. Alison Sharland received £10,350,000 as a financial settlement from her exhusband, only to find out that she received far less than an equal divide of her ex-husband’s total assets. Varsha Gohil received £270,000 and a car from her ex-husband and she also found out that her ex-husband’s assets were worth a lot more at the time. In both Ms Sharland and Ms Gohil’s cases, their exhusbands did not provide the Court with an accurate reflection of their financial positions. On 14th October 2015, the Supreme Court decided that both Ms Sharland and Ms Gohil can return their cases to the High Court for their financial settlements to be reviewed, in light of the further information regarding their ex-husband’s financial positions. When making the judgment, Lady Hale stated that Ms Sharland had been “deprived of a full and fair hearing” due to “her husband’s fraud”. This judgment is likely to have a significant impact on future financial cases within a divorce. The Supreme Court has made a judgment which will enable the Court to review an existing financial order if one party can prove that their ex-spouse did not provide full and frank disclosure at the time. It is always very difficult to advise of the exact proportion of marital assets that a person will be entitled to during a divorce. There are a number of factors, which need to be considered during the proceedings, such as the children involved and the parties’ income capacities, in order to decide what each party should receive as a fair settlement. This recent judgment, however, has made it clear that if the Court has been unable to make an order which is fair for both parties involved, due to not having accurate information regarding one person’s financial position, the financial settlement can be reconsidered. If the Court is satisfied that an incorrect order was made at the time, a new order may be granted, giving one person a larger financial settlement than they initially received. Further to the cases of Ms Sharland and Ms Gohil, it is important to remember that if you do not provide full and frank disclosure during the financial proceedings within a divorce, it does not prevent the Court from making a fair and reasonable financial settlement, once it has been made aware of the true financial position. If you require advice or assistance in regard to a family related issue, please contact Daren Vythilingum on 01787 242824 or by email: darenvythilingum@bwblegal.com.

Do you enjoy being creative? Are you interested in working with others? Have you got skills that you would like to share? FUN is a local charity operated by local parents in Hadleigh, supporting people with learning and/or physical disabilities. We are currently in the process of extending our daytime opportunity programme. Drama, art and music are fantastic mediums to explore creativity, raise awareness of self and others and develop teamwork and communication skills. Our Autumn programme has been developed with this in mind, so that those accessing sessions are given the opportunity to connect with others, learn new skills and feel valued and included. If you feel that you have a skill to share that could enhance what we offer and you are in a position to offer some time to us on a voluntary basis, we would love to hear from you. Equally, if you are curious and want to know more about how you can get involved in our volunteer programme, to enable someone to get the most out of an activity, we'd love to hear from you too. One of our first community activities will involve making table decorations for the Christmas Day Event taking place at the Ansell Community Centre. Our Autumn programme begins on Mon 2nd Nov. All sessions will take place at Ananda House, Magdalen Rd, Hadleigh. Ipswich, Suffolk IP75AD. See our article in this edition for full details of the programme.

Boule-in’s Festive French Flair... "I adore Christmas" says Cathy Bullen, proprietor of Bildeston's French boutique store 'The Boule-in'. "I adore the traditions, the gathering of friends and family, the giving of gifts - and, of course, the decorating - It's a time when we can all indulge the 'interior designer' in us! Everyone does it differently chic and shiny or rustically charming - both styles work well at Christmas." Travelling around France and being part of the London retail scene with their successful second shop 'The Boule-in' Kennington, gives Cathy ample opportunity to glean lots of ideas how to decorate for the festive season. "I always find that the French have a great ability to mix things together, old and new. By choosing the best of both they combine to give a fabulous flair to their interior design." This November (26th until 28th) 'The Boule-in' will once again fling open it's gates on Bildeston High Street and invite you into share a piece of French flair (and fare!) at it's 'Fete de Noël'. Renowned for its hospitality, you can enjoy picking through the latest treasure trove of stylish stock - perfect for gifts and decorations alike - with a mulled wine in hand (and possibly a brownie in the other!) "I think it's my favourite sale of the year" says Cathy "the atmosphere is always so special." With traditional French carols playing, authentic French vintage decorations (I've been finding boxes of them throughout the year and storing them up!) and some gorgeous pieces to make thoughtful and original gifts. With stylish stock at affordable prices and with a warm welcome to this charming sale - what's not to like!

Romania Following the article in last months Hadleigh Community News about the Trip to Romania, I would like to thank everyone for their excellent feedback and letters of gratitude. It was my pleasure to personally show the beauty of Romania with its unspoilt nature and breathtaking views, exquisite wines and excellent food. I created a Facebook page - Romania Tours - where everyone can enjoy some of the trip pictures of the 2015 group. Please like the page for constant updates and forthcoming events. I am planning this trip every year at the end of August, so if anyone interested please come and talk to me at Le Petit Paris bistro for more information. By the way, for those who would like to improve their IQ, Bucuresti, the capital of Romania is known as ‘The Little Paris’, hence the name of my little bistro. PS: I forgot, book your christmas meal at ‘Le Petit Paris’ now for a real Romanian Christmas treat. Hope to see you soon, love Claire and Danny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucharest

Wills and Pin Numbers
Living to a ripe old age? More people are, and their passwords often outlive them. Pin numbers, passwords and user names can keep on going, even after we are no longer alive to call them up. Your bank can’t cancel your pin number unless you have agreed to that (its your property, not theirs) so there is the danger that your pin number or password may float around waiting for an unscrupulous suitor to claim it on the digital dancefloor. How can they do that? Fraudsters and con-men can impersonate you, they can put damaging content on your Facebook page, they might forge a bank card in your name or try (and sometimes succeed) to draw money from your bank account. In short, they can commit your estate to debts and liabilities through manipulating your digital assets. That’s in the new will-writing lexicon – digital assets. Not just ‘I bequeath’ and all the old stuff in weird language over many pages with incomprehensible sections about nil rate band trusts (now history, fortunately). Even in the once rarefied world of will-writing, most wills are now short and to the point. Life has moved on. Digital assets are a growing part of our life. They include personal details kept on computers, tablets, mobile phones, Dropbox and the Cloud. Those precocious kids in California keep on introducing new products which store information about us. Taking care over digital assets is not just about protecting the estate from fraud or theft. Recently, a client of mine in Hadleigh lost her husband, a keen photographer, who had kept his images in the Cloud, including a huge collection of pictures of the growing family. Sadly, she was never told the password, nor was the expert she engaged able to access any of those wonderful photos. The worst thing you can do is put details of your digital assets in your will. The reason? Once probate has been granted, your will becomes public property, holding no secrets from prying eyes. Instead, your digital assets should be listed in a confidential letter of wishes, addressed to your executors, regularly updated, and placed with the will. Finally, a word of warning about will making. Recently I have had a number of phone calls from people asking for quotes for their wills, as if they were getting prices for heating oil. I’m afraid that life isn’t like that. Will writing is an unregulated business, which means that anybody can set up as a will-writer without any qualifications whatsoever. Therefore, if you want to make your will, the last thing you should do is set up a beauty parade based on cheapest price. You could finish up with someone whose knowledge of the law is limited to what they have just learned at a paid-for course. Most practitioners have written hundreds, if not thousands, of wills. You should first satisfy yourself that your selected will-writer has the necessary expertise, and don’t be shy about asking around for recommendations. Making the wrong choice is just too risky. What can happen if you go to an inexperienced will writer, with the future of thehave familyhad estate based on year saving a few pounds? the will – after your death Well we a fantastic this year as far Ifas - doesn’t satisfy thebut probate it willofbeHurricane invalid, the estate will be intestate sunshine is concerned, as theregistry, remnants andrecently making the will a complete of time.

Why you should install Solar PV this Winter
me explain. As 2015 approaches there are 3 things that I can safely predict; Christmas will arrive sooner than we all expect, energy bills will continue to rise and there will be an end of year surge of solar installations. Why a surge in solar installs, well it is due too the imminent cut to the Feed in Meet and Dine at The Town Hall, Hadleigh Tariff. Ofgem, who manage the UK’s feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme have Fourth Friday in November, confirmed that the FIT will be cut by a minimum of September, 3.5% on 31 December 2014 January, March and May and so homeowners are keen to install by then in order to secure the best tariff. The drop in FIT is not unexpected. Every quarter Ofgem re-assess the BR 47 9 T VALLEY 9across amount of PVETtake-up the country and then adjust the FIT accordingly. The last three quarters have seen the FIT remain static, but scheme rules state that a reduction must occur at least once every 3 quarters. The good news for those who do install PV is that once you are on the scheme, our FIT becomes fixed for the next 20 years and your FIT payments, which are tax free, will actually start to rise in line with the RPI. This is an excellent way for homeowners to counter the effects of rising energy prices. For more information call Mark at Energy on Tap Limited, 07780 975787 / 01473 810089

‘LIVING with DYING’ (formerly Dying Matters) As you can see, the first thing to explain is our change of name. It was felt after our Dying Matters event this year that we actually catered for events much wider than just dying. In our next event on May 14th 2016 we will have many more people who deal with all aspects of end of life care as well as what to do when someone dies. These will include health professionals, businesses, charities and civil, religious or non-religious options for funerals. Therefore, LIVING with DYING encompasses a lot of situations and information. So‌‌How can this event help you? This whole subject applies to everyone, whatever your age. As we go through our everyday work and lives we are acutely aware that many people experience unexpected traumas and tragedy, whether through terminal diagnosis, accidents, death in its many ways, care in your own home or needing to move into full time care. There are certain legal requirements and personal wishes that can be set in place to help you and your family cope more easily when difficult decisions may have to be made at an emotionally turbulent time. This event is here to help you organise as much as you can. We have exhibitions to view from Tuesday May 10th through to Thursday 19th May 2016 and much more happening on Saturday 14th. All these are to help give you peace of mind, to help allay your fears and know your wishes will be carried out. We have arranged 5 x 45 minute ‘Masterclass’ sessions throughout the day in the Guildroom opposite the church porch. For example, Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance will be talking about their work in making Hadleigh the first Suffolk town to be officially recognised as dementia friendly. We will announce more information that will help you at LIVING with DYING in the coming months, including other Masterclass subjects. Kate Brett, Jess Janas, and Pauline Thrower

The Festive season at The White Hart. And we are planning a great one! The menu is written for Christmas parties large and small and is available from the bar. By way of an introduction We are Simon & Ros Cook. While our children were small we ran The Smugglers Restaurant in the High Street, after a life time working in hotels and restaurants. We then opened our own outside catering company which has been very successful for the last 10 years. We are continuing with the outside catering alongside The White Hart with our exceptional team of staff using the same ethos of great food and great service in both businesses. Having spent the last 10 years catering for weddings and parties across the region. We are able to look at the White Hart with fresh eyes and bring the old pub back to its former glory. Gone but not forgotten are the days of Totty and Iris, Landlord and landlady of times gone by, but well remembered they are the people that made The White Hart memorable and we have heard countless tales about their reign as publicans in the town. We can only hope that we are even half as unforgettable as Totty and Iris! Having given the building more than just a lick of paint! we have created a light, calming and thourghly up to date atmosphere to the pub, coupled with some great food it is now the perfect place to meet friends or business colleagues. In the colder months we have the log stove roaring in the fireplace to sit by on our fashionably worn chesterfield or for the bravest amongst you try out the oak seats in the original alcoves in the fireplace, Alongside our home produced Lamb and beef from our flock of pedigree Ryeland sheep and our heard of pedigree Hereford cattle complimented by good supplies of local meat from our own high street Butchers namely Charlie and Dave at the Jolly Meat Company, we make a weekly trek to the fish market in London to keep us topped up with really good fish and shellfish. Mussels from Brancaster on the north Norfolk coast, inshore Skate, Rock Salmon, Witch Soles, Dover Sole and Sea Bass to name just a few. Shortly we will have our Fabulous en-suite accommodation fully refurbished and ready to go. Comfy beds, hot showers and a good breakfast attached to a great pub serving real ale and fantastic food and all on the ground floor. Our New Years Eve is going to be a good one this year! For those that knew us from the Smugglers you will remember that we throw a great party and this year will be no exception. A glass of fizz to start the evening off with a bang followed by 4 courses of wonderfully indulgent supper, dancing till late and fireworks at midnight!

Prison Governor. When public figures speak about their work it is often illuminating, entertaining and surprising. So it was when Declan Moore spoke about his career in the prison service including his current role as Governor of Hollesey Bay Prison and Young Offenders Institute. He made it very clear that an 'open' prison does not have the holiday camp Jill Howlett, Declan Moore, Rita Johnson status as portrayed by the media but is a realistic preparation for life outside the institution with severe penalties if rules are broken. There were plenty of amusing anecdotes highlighting how little members know about this way of life. It was obvious that Declan is passionate about his work. He was both delighted and immensely proud that his establishment had just passed the unannounced, official inspection with flying colours. Romeo & Juliet. Fifty years after its debut, Kenneth Macmillan's interpretation of Prokofiev's majestic score of Romeo & Juliet, was every bit as fresh as in 1965. Beamed in live from Convent Garden to Cineworld, Ipswich members thoroughly enjoyed the sympathetic portrayal of Juliet by a waspish Sarah Lamb and an emotional performance by Steven McRae as Romeo. Costumes and sets were sumptuous and colourful while the squash-buckling sword fights, convincing and scary. Perfect Nonsense with Jeeves and Wooster. This wacky production, on tour from the West End, tested to the limit the acting skills of the cast of three. A little slow in the beginning but the play hurtled along soon after that carrying the audience with it. The three main characters manage to play a total of six others throughout the performance. They seamlessly and effectively change gender, costumes and voices with hilarious results. The scenery designers, costume and props department must have been seriously challenged by this production but they definitely rose to the occasion. Much like the New Wolsey Panto it’s hard to believe that the cast has the energy for two performance in one day. Jan Devey

The birth of a baby should be a time of happiness and celebration. Sadly, though, for some families the anticipated joy of a new arrival can quickly turn to grief. According to NHS figures, 1,300 babies died or were injured during birth in the UK in 2014, while another 1,000 were stillborn. Research shows that in most cases these incidents were caused by the failure of midwives and doctors to adequately monitor a baby’s heart rate during labour, thus starving them of oxygen during the birth process. The result of these failings has been an increasing volume of clinical negligence claims involving brain-injured, disabled and stillborn babies. A recent study carried out by the University of Leicester discovered a failure nationally to ensure both proper monitoring of foetal growth during pregnancy and a baby’s heart rate during the critical period leading up to and during birth. Researchers recommended that hospital trusts should be required to carry out a full inquiry after such an incident with an independent reviewer. For any parent coming to terms with the pain of losing a new-born or the realisation that their infant has been injured or left with a disability - the ordeal is made even worse by the failure of a hospital trust to explain what has happened, to review the causes of the tragedy and to offer reassurance that lessons have been learned. Clinicians should always tell patients when things have gone wrong, to apologise and to try and put things right. This is in addition to their ethical requirement to be open and honest, and the more recent statutory duty of candour, which came into effect in 2014. Under the duty, NHS Trusts are required to advise patients of notable safety incidents including those which, in the opinion of a Health Care Professional, could result in significant harm. The scope of the duty of candour was extended in April of this year to cover private care as well. For the family of a child who has suffered injury at birth, the duty of candour could have a very significant bearing. For example, in the case of an infant who has suffered a period of oxygen starvation (hypoxia) during birth in an NHS hospital, the family should be informed that the event could result in significant harm. In those circumstances, should the child fail to meet the expected developmental milestones as he or she grows up, the family would be able to take that information into account when considering what action to take. However the family of a baby delivered in a private hospital in similar circumstances could be left unaware that there had been any such problem, meaning they wouldn’t know the possible reasons behind the child’s stunted development. It may be they endure a delay of several years before establishing the truth of what actually happened. If you or any member of your family have been affected by any of the issues raised in this article, contact Chris Moffat of the Medical Negligence Dept on 01473 298189 who would be happy to discuss your case to see how she may be able to help.

These cards are hand-made by the students (with the supervision of our fantastic Art teachers) and have now been sent off to a professional printing company where they will be printed and given back just in time for the holiday season. The students can give their carefully crafted cards to their families; a perfect gift just in time for 25th December! Year 10 & 11 Farlingaye Conference A trip for Years 10 and 11 to Farlingaye High School will be taking place on Saturday 7th November. The trip will give the students of Hadleigh High School the opportunity to participate in different workshops, enriching their skills in languages. The workshops will cover a range of topics such as: career options with German, studying modern languages at University, studying and working abroad, and the German culture and language. The visit will also consist of talks from guest speakers from Goethe-Institut, the University of Cambridge, and University of Essex. Marking National Poetry Day National Poetry Day took place on Thursday 8th October and this year marked the celebration’s 21st anniversary. The day is dedicated to all things poetical, meaning that the students of Hadleigh High participated in the writing of poems – but not just in English. Pupils throughout the year stated that it was an enjoyable experience, and was interesting to put their poetical ideas into another language. World Maths Day On Wednesday 14th October was ‘World Maths Day’ which is an event where students around the world take part in different style maths events in class or at home! The activities the students have been taking part in include: challenges on ‘mathletics’ and maths related games in class. The pupils had an enjoyable time learning and competing against people from around the world. One of the students that helped to organize it said ‘The day was exciting for all students and I think they learnt lots!’ Languages Week Languages Week, which commenced on the week of the 5th October, was a time for students to broaden their understanding of other cultures and languages in the world. During this week linguistic challenges were set up to extend the minds of all students in the school. The activities were: a quiz on what languages celebrities could speak, learning basic mandarin in 10 minutes, guessing the nationality of famous scientists, composers, authors and artists. Pupils enjoyed taking part, as one pupil said, “The challenges were fun and I think I learnt from it.” Staff joined in too, speaking in different languages to greet the pupils as they entered classrooms! Year 8’s Quiz Victory Year 8 claimed the top prize in the Languages Quiz, scoring full marks on the quiz. We had the opportunity to interview Robert Wing, one of the members of 8T who was massively involved in the process. He said that he not only really enjoyed the quiz, but also stated “We should have more things like this; it’s a really great way for new students to get to know the teachers.” Overall the reception to the quiz was excellent, with many students showing their support and enthusiasm, hoping that more things like this would occur in the future.
Year 11s get out in the field The Year 11 Geography classes were involved in a trip to Walton on the Naze. There were 100 students participating in the trip. 50 students on Monday, 19th of October and the other 50 on Tuesday, 20th of October. This exciting trip was to help advance the students in a physical environment instead of in the classroom. The trip was to show the Year 11s the reality of the British coast line. It also introduced a different way of learning for the students as they were at the place they are learning about instead of looking through books. Year of the Sheep Are ewe aware that 2015 is the year of the sheep? Hadleigh High School’s Art department definitely is, as a variety of fun activities have been completed in honour of our woolly friends. The Year 7s created their own clay lambs, whilst the Year 8s decided that Paper-Mache was the way to go. Last but not least, the Year 9s created their own wireframe sculptures. Our students were lucky enough to have their works of art put up for viewing in an exhibition at St. Mary’s church. If you want to have a look at the finished products, head down to A2; don’t be sheepish! Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh group get creative The Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh group are creating their very own rag rugs as part of their skills section of their award. The material they are using to create their rugs has been donated from charity shops around Hadleigh, and from some teachers too. They have collected an estimated 300 t-shirts and jumpers. They have three months to create their rugs after which the pupils will be able to take their rugs home. They are ‘really enjoying this opportunity’ and are finding it ‘calming and relaxing’. Skills for Life The Debating Society runs on most Friday’s of blue week in Mr Pryke’s English room, E3. The club is run by Mr Pryke and Mrs Woolven, who pose as the questioners. The Society has been described as being “Good for going in to professions such as politics and law” and as being “Excellent for improving your debating skills.” Lois Cooper believes that it has “Given her the opportunity to talk about topics which are relevant in today’s society,” and she feels that it has enhanced the debating skills of all of its members. Family STEM event On Thursday, 1st October we hosted a competitive event for Year 7 and 8 pupils and their families. The participants undertook an experiment incorporating a competitive challenge. Seventy five families and staff rose to the challenge and the competition was fierce during the 2 hour contest! The challenge was for families to test their engineering skills in designing and constructing a structure which would allow an egg to be dropped from a 3 metre height without breaking. Resources were limited so families needed to think hard about the resources they wished to use as each resource had a point score and the aim was to produce the structure at the lowest cost. We are fortunate to be affiliated to the National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) initiative which supported this event. This organisation aims to improve pupils’ enjoyment and attainment in these important subjects. The STEM programme also seeks to promote these subjects and increase pupil uptake at ‘A’ level and university This year we will be running several workshops designed to engage pupils in hands on approaches to these subjects. Further details will be publicised to pupils and their families over the coming months. Feedback from our families suggested that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and valued the opportunity to work as a family team! Badminton England at Hadleigh High School
Year 11 Drama Evening Year 11 performed their production of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet on Thursday, 15th October with two performances of the classic romantic tragedy. The first show was at 3pm while the second began at 6pm. They each lasted approximately 40 minutes, covering all of the key points of the classic Romeo and Juliet story we all know. With Bailie Knock and Jasmine Robinson as the leading roles of Romeo and Juliet, the show had a variety of supporting actors and actresses who were all involved in the production. The show was described as being very physical and lively, with “something happening all the time”. 32

Badminton England came into school on Tuesday 6th October. They are currently touring the country with their ‘Smash up’ tour and we were lucky enough to be selected. Pupils in their PE lessons on Tuesday had the opportunity to work with England coaches and improve their basic skills using a variety of fun practices. A professional photographer was also present during the day working on one of the courts taking action shots of the pupils playing.
Conservation Area We have been busy planting 200 Daffodil bulbs alongside the path which leads to the H.H.S. Conservation Area. We planted a mix of three varieties of Daffodil, an early, a mid-season and a late variety to extend the period of flowering. We hope it will be an attractive way of 'heralding' the start of spring as well as providing a valuable source of pollen for early bees and insects. The bulbs were purchased with money from our fund raising efforts from earlier in the year. Thank you for all your support.

Miss Taylor planting bulbs
A message from the new Chair of Governors, Sandy Davies. I was delighted to be elected as Chair of Governors for Hadleigh High School recently. It occurred to me that I should introduce myself. My background is in education. I was a headteacher in London and Essex for 18 years and since then I have been training new heads as well as chairs of governors. My work has taken me to China, South Africa and, currently, Ghana where we have a project training existing heads and other teachers. I have lived in the Hadleigh area for over 23 years and may even be seen as a Suffolk local in another twenty. My passion for education stems in great part from hating school myself. I left thinking, “It needn’t be like this.” I am a firm believer that schools should be suitable, wherever possible, for every child in the local community. Children get one chance at a decent education and our school system should not allow that chance to be wasted. As a headteacher I have always believed in pushing students to the peak of their ability and that means having a school that insists on the highest of standards in work, behaviour and ethos. We are so fortunate in Hadleigh to have a good school with a caring head and staff. The Governing Body exists to ensure that it gets better and better. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the next few months. If you see me at a parents’ evening, please come and introduce yourself. In the meantime, I look forward to working with you to see that your son or daughter gets the very best from their time at Hadleigh High School.

New New Session Session
News from The Station Hopefully Halloween Night passed without incident and the young people of the town enjoyed dressing up. Every year we send out the message that elderly residents in the town, whilst not wanting to spoil everyone’s fun, do not appreciate knocking on their doors late into the night, so we hope that this was taken on board again and all residents of Hadleigh were able to enjoy October 31st. I would just like to thank David and Simon Foster of Crockatt Garage, on the Industrial Estate, for their help on Saturday 12th September, when we held a free Catalytic Convertor Marking event in the morning. It was a little disappointing that although the event was quite heavily publicised, only 8 vehicles arrived on the day. The crime of Theft of Catalytic Convertors is quite common again and whilst marking the CAT will not necessarily prevent the CAT being stolen, it can be traced from its markings/ engraving of index mark and potential offenders caught. We regularly hold CAT marking events which are FREE throughout the year at various different garages, so please, if you would like your vehicle CAT MARKED, please contact us on the email address below and we will be happy to let you know when the next event is taking place, and where. By the time you are reading this article (hopefully), Bonfire Night will be almost upon us. I would just like to take the opportunity of making you all aware of the Law around Fireworks. Fireworks - must not be let off after 11pm, however, exceptions to this are - November 5th (Bonfire Night) up until Midnight; December 31st (New years Eve) until 1am. It is courtesy however to inform your neighbours if you are planning to have a Bonfire party and Fireworks in your garden. It is ILLEGAL to let Fireworks off in the street or in a public place. Fireworks can only be Sold to persons aged 18 or over. It is ILLEGAL for under 18s to possess Fireworks in a public place. Please remember The Fireworks Code, be sensible, be responsible and Enjoy Firework Night. Please remember Dogs and Cats and other wildlife do not like Fireworks, so please keep your pets indoors and check under your bonfires. Next month’s article will give crime reduction advice around the dark nights, party season and Christmas presents - but if you have any issues you would like to bring to our attention, please remember to email us at the address below. Also, if you witness an incident please call 999 in an emergency or 101 to bring to our attention. Anti-social behaviour is starting to become more of a problem once again, we would appreciate any calls if you see or experience this in whatever form. Until next time PCSO 3173 Julia Bignell Email: babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk
Margaret Bardwell (Mailey) Susan, Kevin, Kerrie, Sheryl and family would like to thank all family, friends and neighbours who gave support, love, sent cards and floral tributes following the unexpected passing of a wonderful Mum and Nana.

THE OBSERVER Friday Market Well it is Goodbye to Butch and Tina as they leave to concentrate on their main source of income elsewhere. Babergh D.C. have some enthusiastic plans in mind for the next leaseholder which are to be welcomed. Thank you B and T and your Mum, everyone who has dealt with you wishes you well. Hadleigh Quarry An Enforcement Officer from S.C.C. attended after a complaint of out of hours working, reporting that all was in order, obviously she didn't visit at 06.30 hrs as the early out of hours start continues. Hadleigh Jazz Club George and friends guested at Fleece Jazz recently, one of the high temples of British jazz. I'm told they went down a bomb amongst the cognoscente of The Fleece. Year of the Sheep Those events I was able to attend were outstanding and all the talk was of its success, plus the careful planning and effort that brought it all together. Most people know the main mover(s) behind it all but how do you adequately thank them and all the many other benefactors, sponsors, helpers of all shapes and sizes for the effort that was put in by so many? East House What a poor reflection on both parties involved in this prolonged matter that there was nobody really interested in ensuring it was kept properly secure and half tidy and not the eyesore it now is. No doubt all the usual legalities and excuses will be trotted out. It says much of the consideration by Hadleigh locals that a broken window apart, of how an open invitation to vandalise was ignored. However the District Councillor has had a word to the Babergh officials involved. Farmers Market What a misnomer that was. Steering Group The second revival meeting was attended by eighteen bodies with some new faces amongst the usual suspects and good progress was made, too much to list here. I never realised that there were tourist coaches enough to make ‘a where to park them a problem’. This was the second time it arose on the group's agenda. One suggestion was use of the Hadleigh F.C. car park but that was immediately scotched based on access reasons. If the objection was one that had been fully investigated by a professional previously fair enough, but perhaps another opinion from a coach operator might be worth while, plus include a second look at the many redundant spaces in the Council's Cork Lane car park. They could well afford to mark off four and still have about thirty spare for their staff. A unanimously accepted proposition that the annual District Award should go to those movers and shakers involved with Y of S, but would that mean about fifty deserving awardees? How about a something for all involved evening ?

Directors and Managers at SbN Hotel, Golf & Spa: (l to r) Chris Grimwood, Carmella Meyer, Matt Manning, Susanna Rendall, Tamara Unwin, Shaun Frost, Marijke Morris, Stuart Passey, Giovanni De Marco. Champagne corks were popping last night at a glittering black tie awards dinner at Hylands House in Chelmsford after the family directors and senior management team from Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa were presented with two prestigious county Tourism and Hospitality awards. The awards were for Best Hotel of the Year and Best Business Tourism Venue. The family-owned hotel had been shortlisted for the Best Hotel award with the Radisson Blue Hotel at Stansted and Down Hall Country House Hotel. For the Business Tourism award they were competing with Colchester Zoo and Southend Royal Pavilion. Susanna Rendall, Managing Director of Stoke by Nayland said, “We were really thrilled to receive both of these awards, especially as the competition was very tough. We would particularly like to thank all of our staff for their invaluable contribution to the success of our hotel business, and it is wonderful that all of their hard work has been recognised in this way.” From pubs and restaurants to hotels and B&Bs, from visitor attractions to festivals and individuals - all aspects of the tourism and hospitality industry were acknowledged at this prestigious event. Stoke by Nayland Hotel will now go through to enter the national Visit England Tourism and Hospitality Awards which will be presented in London in Spring next year.

It has been a really busy month at St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s! Thank you to the children and families who represented the school at the Harvest Service at St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church. The children enjoyed sharing their work from school, such as poems, posters, art work and prayers. The children had been thinking about the hard work of the farmers throughout the year and about the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of wheat turning into bread. The service was good fun, especially when we all wrote a new Psalm together. We also invited parents into school for Harvest Worship to share our work and to give thanks for all we have. The Year 6 children have returned from their epic residential trip to Aylmerton! They were an absolutely delightful group to take away and we received very positive reports back from the instructors and members of the public, who praised the children for their behaviour. The children took part in a range of team-building and educational activities. The hike across the marshes was particularly popular! It was fabulous to see the seals at Blakeney Point! The children were incredibly supportive of one another during the teambuilding tasks and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;monster trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The experience has helped them to develop greater independence and responsibility as well as improving their team skills. There were lots of hands-on learning opportunities to develop the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of coastal erosion. Once again, this was a hugely successful trip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well done to all the children for being super representatives of St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School. Classes throughout the school have been working hard to promote reading for enjoyment. Lots of parents attended our Reading CafĂŠs to share reading activities with their children. This is a great way for parents to find out more about childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning in school and to explore ways of supporting childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading. The children in Year 4 read â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arthur, High King of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then created their own Anglo Saxon shields. The Book Fayre the following week was our most successful for many years due to the great selection of books and the children being excited about reading. Our Worship theme this half term is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;friendshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Thanks to all the visitors who have helped to explore this theme during assemblies and Worship, including Jackie Cork, Reverend Bryn, Pastor Chris, Philip Mann and David and Wendy Atkins. We also enjoyed a special assembly on the theme of litter, presented by Sarah Carter. The children in Ash and Willow classes had a lovely time visiting the church to celebrate the Year of the Sheep. They learned lots of fascinating facts about the history of the town. It was wonderful to see the time and effort so many people had put into making sure the Year of the Sheep was a great success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thank you to all those who made it possible.

The End Gets No Closer
In this article we remember: Bertie Edward Ward - 11 November 1915 For the whole of November 1915 Gallipoli continued as a hell hole for the many Hadleigh men of the 1/5th Suffolks and 1st Suffolk Yeomanry. In October the British Cabinet had finally recognised the blind optimism and failures of the commander Sir Ian Hamilton and replaced him with General Sir Charles Munro. After Munro had assessed the situation, the Cabinet then refused his advice to withdraw from the Campaign. Lord Kitchener then had to visit the Peninsula towards the end of November and when he firmly recommended evacuation the Cabinet dithered for a further two weeks. All the time the men suffered. Disease, dysentery and diarrhoea were ripe. At the end of November harsh winter weather set in and frost bite was added to the discomfort. At the same time the Turks had been issued with improved German artillery and their shells were hitting and busting in places thought previously safe. Also present in the Suvla Bay area was the 6th Battalion Kings Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment and among them was another Hadleigh man, Private Bertie Edward Ward. He was born in 1892 and his mother died shortly after his birth. In 1901 he was being looked after in lodgings in Angel Street, but in 1911 he was living in Lancaster and working at a matting mill. The reasoning for his move north is not clear, but in August 1914 he responded to Lord Kitchener’s call and joined the local regiment. After training at Tidworth and Aldershot, he was sent to Gallipoli in July 1915. Bertie Ward died at Suvla Bay in November 1915 and is buried at Hill 10 cemetery. Since the beginning of the conflict recruitment to the forces had been by voluntary means only, but by the end of 1915 the casualties of war had become well in excess of the new recruits coming forward and so the threat of conscription was hanging over the country in. In a last attempt to avoid compulsory recruitment, the ‘Lord Derby Scheme’ was introduced for a limited period. It encourage men between the ages of eighteen and forty one to volunteer, but also offered a second option where a man could attest his willingness to serve but would then be transferred to the Army Reserve, given a grey arm band with a red crown on it to wear and then sent home. His later call up would then be determined by a priority scheme that grouped the recruits according to age and marital status and whether or not they would be indispensable at home. For a limited period, an individual's status would be assessed by his employer along with a local tribunal. A local newspaper reported that in One Million Candles to Remember Hadleigh the “canvassing in connection with Lord Derby’s scheme 4th August 2014 has been carried out in an unobtrusive and systematic manner, and many Memorial men of eligible age have been rounded up. … It will be advisable for all who delaying and attestation, so as to claim exemption later on, to Legionare invite you enlistment to note that after December 11th the local tribunals will have no power to deal ational moment of with them.” Exemption had to be claimed by the employer and not the the 100th Anniversary employee. On 27th January 1916 conscription of unmarried men and Britain entered the widowers without children became law. It is difficult to gage the mood in the town one hundred years ago. Well over the Royal British Legion will be holding a ‘Lightsgone Out’ event to mark the Centenary. 300 Hadleigh men had already to war, 22 were known to have fallen, or you can bring your own (Special centenary candles are available from M&S, more than 17 were missing and many more had been injured. Conscription port serving members of the Armed Forces, veterans of all ages and their families). was now horizon would legally take the freedom of many dles to represent theon 112the names on thewhich memorial.

GREAT WAR NEWS NOVEMBER 1915
(as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day) Wed 3 Nov Casualties of the 5th Suffolks at Gallipoli are reported: Corporals Gurney Richardson and Fred Foster are suffering dysentery and Private Fred Brown is wounded and is in hospital at Malta; Lance Corporal William Lambert and Private Jack Allen are in hospital in England and Privates Sam Keeble and Ernest Beaumont are at home.
Wed 10 Nov Great sympathy is felt for the mother of Frederick Mowles and the wife of William Mulley, both having received official notification of their losses at Gallipoli. Private Harold Nice (of Gallows Hill), with 5th Suffolks, writing from a hospital at Giza, Egypt (probably in sight of the Pyramids) says: “I have been unwell with dysentery for the last ten days. As you will see by the address I can hear no shells bursting overhead nor bullets whizzing by my face. It’s cruel what our fellows are suffering at the Dardanelles. It took us four days to come from the firing line to here. They expected a big bombardment by our navy the day we came away. Cecil Hatfield is here with me. (Cecil Hatfield lived in Castle Road and before the war had worked for Lett’s garden nursey in Friars Road). Wed 17 Nov Private C W Whiting of the 7th Suffolks [having seen action at the Battle of Loos] is suffering from “Functional Ampblyophia” in the 13th Stationary Hospital Boulogne. In plainer language he is suffering from a disturbance of the muscles which govern the eye in focussing objects, which was caused by a shrapnel shell exploding in front of him. Wed 24 Nov The men of the City of London Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) have settled down in their new quarters (at Hadleigh) and are rapidly establishing themselves in the good opinion of the inhabitants. They have aroused the quiet old town and imparted an additional interest in the preparations for carrying on the war. The long line of horses, wagons and guns, etc going and returning from marches and field exercises naturally attract attention and appeal to the martial instincts of the juvenile section of the community. (The RGA are known to have used the land now Guthrum Road and also Holbecks Park). Upon their arrival a number of soldiers took over an empty house in the High Street which they facetiously styled “Hotel Cecil” and designated its inhabitants as The Bees.” There was a good muster at church parade last Sunday morning. www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

Kersey Mill Newsletter The lovely sunny days of the last Month have encouraged many visitors to the Mill. The Open Day was well attended with a steady flow of visitors who enjoyed seeing the wheel turning, the sun shone all day and the visitors not only enjoyed their tour of the Mill but were able to enjoy the sunshine and look around the grounds & gardens. It was with great pleasure to give the 41 Club of Hadleigh a guided tour and access one evening , so nice to hear so many of them recalling their memoirs of previous visits to the Mill, some of them going back to the 1960’s . More pleasing news was that listed building consent has been granted and the next phase of the restoration work is now underway. One of the first tasks was to repair the Mill original staircases which are similar to a ladder. Over the past 200 years they have suffered considerable wear with the Millers hob nail boots together with woodworm. Several treads have been worn and are thread bare. However they are extremely characterful and in preserving this they are being repaired sympathetically. Broken treads are being underlined with oak and carefully sculpted by Millwright Bill Griffiths in order to preserve the wonderful character. Handrails and balustrading have also been inserted due to the modern day health and safety requirements that were not need during the 1800’s. The handrails and balustrading have been created to blend in with the staircase. We are soon to take delivery of some massive pine timbers from Thetford forest, which has been slow grown; this is to be used for replacing the rotten upright posts that support the central valley. These will be installed hopefully before Santa and his Elves arrive Santa’s Workshop - a magical Christmas Experience every child will love: TICKETS ARE SELLING VERY FAST.

Hadleigh and District Gardening Club Photography was the subject of our October meeting...naturally with a gardening theme. New Hadleigh resident Clare Dawson was our guest speaker, describing with obvious pleasure the techniques she uses for her plant portraits and field work. Many beautiful examples were shown, each often taking many hours to complete. We were told that being on site for live work at first light was best - a few of us shuddered at the thought of 4.00am starts! A couple of years ago I made the decision to change career, moving out of the closeted office world after 30 years, to set up my own gardening business. If I'd had my hat with me though (must find it again soon, it's starting to get a bit chilly out there) I'd had to have taken it off to Clare. In her late 50's she decided to do her own 'career about turn' and start studying the thing she loved - photography. Sitting bravely amongst students still in their teens, she ultimately graduated with honours to become a professional photographer specialising in horticulture and, amongst other things, currently works for the EADT Suffolk magazine. It's never too late...... It was good to see so many in attendance at our October meeting and some more new faces as well. At our next meeting on November 9th (7.30pm at the Town Hall) we welcome Maggie Thorpe from Suffolk Plant Heritage. Maggie will be talking about the work of Plant Heritage (the world's leading plant conservation charity). She will also bring examples of propagation methods a subject close to every gardener's heart and about which there is always something to learn. Propagation can be fun too and can save you money. So whether you are a gardening beginner or have soil permanently under your fingernails, we hope to see you there. Andy Leeder, Chairman

Like it or not it’s time to think about Christmas. The Country Threads group love it as it gives them an opportunity to put their skills, Christmassy material and patterns to good use. In a recent one day workshop the ladies came together to make seasonal gifts for the fund-raising shop at the St Elizabeth Hospice’s Day Centre. The main theme this year was Christmas bells, bird boxes plus some hand-crafted cards. Although the bells and boxes looked complicated to make everyone had a try and the results were most effective and attractive. The bird boxes house a miniature robin and a small novelty or sweets. The bells would make an eye-catching room or Christmas tree decoration. For re-cycle lovers they can be used and enjoyed every year. Happily, it wasn’t all toil at the workshop as there was plenty of time for refreshments, stories and laughter. If you would like to know more about this friendly group which meet every Wednesday evening at the URC rooms please contact Mavis 01473 824 398 or Email mavis.gordon@mypostoffice.co.uk

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts Roses are one of the joys of the garden, and have quite long lives. However eventually they seem to deteriorate and need to be replaced. Replacing roses is not straightforward because new roses do not seem to like being replanted in soil that has been growing roses. If you need to do this Beales Roses recommend planting the new rose in fresh soil inside a large cardboard box. The idea is that by the time the cardboard box has rotted the new rose will be well established. It is also a good idea to use micorrihzal fungus when doing the planting. This friendly fungus which usually comes in a sachet helps the new roots to establish. I had 2 roses in my garden which I bought in about 1960. They survived two house moves, but one died last year. I rather like the variety which is called "Lilac Rose" and was introduced by a now defunct rose nursery near Bristol run by John Sanday, but it no longer appears to be available. Happily there is a solution. The rose plants that one normally buys consist of the variety that one wants, budded onto a briar root stock. This technique suits the rose growers who need to produce thousands of plants per year, but most roses will grow quite happily on their own roots, so if one has a plant that one likes one can propagate it using cuttings. For roses one needs mature wood from the current years growth, cut after the leaves have dropped. A stem that has flowered is ideal, and a long stem will provide three or four cuttings since each cutting only needs to be about 6 inches long. If you fancy doing this I suggest you read it up in a book or on the internet, but it really works. I now have a flower on the "Lilac Rose" cutting that I took last March. My dahlias which were very slow getting going this year are at the moment flowering magnificently, but by the time you read this may have been brought to a stop by frost. Most years we get the first significant frost sometime in November. Weather Records In September at Kersey there was 58.6 mm (2.3") of rain which is a bit more than average monthly rainfall. The 3 monthly total at the end of September was 181.7 mm (7.2") which is again just a bit more than the average figure. In September the maximum temperature was 20 Cel (68F) which is lower than usual. The minimum temperature was 8 Cel (46F) which is a couple of degrees higher than average. 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 2016 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 Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre We may have survived the ghosts and ghoullies of Halloween, but I have been watching the ponies and horses spooking at one particular corner of the arena! You would think they should all be used to branches waving and pheasants chattering by now, but there are some (I won’t mention names) who still feel anxious about this corner, and pass their fears onto their friends in the herd. I have a little friend in my ‘room’ too, she is called Babs but neither of us is at all silly about spooks. So long as we are serviced regularly and there are no power cuts we are the steadiest of mounts. Babs has been here much longer than me and she has a very loyal bunch of riders. Poor old girl, she is no looker, like I am. I have a fine figure and gorgeous tack, and you should just see my mane and tail! They are black like me, made of real horse hair. Talking of hair, a most amazing thing happened recently. Heather Barrie, a 13 year old pupil at East Bergholt High School, decided to raise money for us by having a sponsored hair cut! This is what she wrote to our Chairman: “I wanted to raise money for the RDA because you’re local and you’re a small charity that relies on donations and volunteers, and you help loads of people with disabilities through riding. I love riding and compete on my own pony Lolly, and the problem with having very long hair is that I have to wear a hair net when I am doing showing classes. So I decided to have it cut. I looked on Virgin Money Giving website and found that The Shelley Centre did have a registered charity page with them”. She says the rest was easy….but I bet it took a lot of hard work and courage. Everyone here is very grateful for the money she raised and we always bless the many kind people who help us to keep going. Our supporters were racing frogs last month, would you believe? I have heard that last year’s running costs were just over £73,000, a hair raising amount I think but you’ll not catch me having a mane and tail cut, not for all the apples in the bucket! (I don’t want to end up looking like Babs, do I?) Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473 824172

From the Last Sheep Pen In the words of Shaun the Sheep’s fellow stars Wallace and Gromit it was ‘A Grand Day Out’. Thanks to James Buckle, Mike Mumford and shepherd, Ed Hawkins, the town experienced the rare spectacle of 40 sheep hurrying down the High Street to spend the day in St Mary’s Churchyard. There were a couple of minor diversions as the flock veered off the chosen route but with one whistle from Ed and a rapid response from his dog they soon changed their minds. It was heartening to see the High Street so full of people. The balmy weather played its part too tempting people to stay and enjoy the other happenings on offer throughout the day. The two street performances by the Colchester Morris Men which were sponsored by The Ram were well received. St Mary’s Church played host to several costumed presentations about the Hadleigh Clothiers, there were also illustrated displays about Hadleigh’s past and historical costumes; painstakingly researched by Sue Andrews, Margarete Woods and Jane Snowdon. Mike Woods, in monk’s habit, had a very busy day helping anyone who cared to use a quill pen and ink and try their hand at palaeography. The ‘created’ sheep made their first public appearance as a flock and could be found in every corner of the Church. The children from the Hadleigh Community Primary School delighted their audience four times with a polished performance of a catchy song especially arranged for the occasion by Sheena Broadbent. Sadly, the Gotelee representative was delayed in football traffic and unable to present their first prize donation of £100 to winner Lesley Smith. Second prize winner Sue Munson received £50 while Dorothy Chapman donated her third prize of £25 to the nominated charity, the Hadleigh Boxford Medical Practice Charitable Trust. The Quiz and Fashion Show together raised a total of £890 for the Trust. The day ended with a lively ‘thank you’ reception for all HYOS sponsors and donors. Just when you think it’s all over along came HADS with an entertaining ‘encore’ event in the form of a Variety Show. A talented newcomer, known as The Walking Sax, opened the show with some pleasing music from his acoustic saxophone. More musical contributions followed with lively tunes from The Elmsett Fellow Brass Band, songs and guitar numbers from Taylor, Harry and his guitarist. During the interval the audience were fascinated by the creation of a large sheep by VIP Balloons. Finally, and much to Bo Peep’s surprise, Trevor Clarke came forward with that familiar red book and uttered those well-known words “This is Your Life”. There followed a series of flash backs and songs about this famous nursery character and her flock. This marked the end of a most enjoyable show which was certainly full of variety.
A big thank you everyone who contributed to the enjoyment snd success of the Hadleigh Year of the Sheep 2015.

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed during the meeting of 23 September 2015 were: • Police report There had been one reported crime since the last meeting: criminal damage to a motor vehicle on Brett Green, between 28 and 29 August. • District Council report Councillor Ward said the Conservative Group Vision was the view of the Conservative majority on the Council. However, individual issues would be voted on by full Council after robust debate, and amendments would be made where appropriate; full Council meetings were open to the public. • County Council report In response to a comment about the improved Key Stage 2 results for Suffolk schools, Councillor Jones said the local authority could hold schools to account and give advice; RAG (red, amber, green) ratings would be carried out again during the current year. As far as academies were concerned, GJ said some of these were amongst the best performing, and some the worst. Funding was always an issue; Suffolk was in the bottom quarter but the Government had promised to address fairer funding. It was noted that the new path leading to the church had been partfunded from GJ’s Locality budget. • Chairman’s report The Chairman’s report on the SALC Babergh Area meeting held on 7 September was noted. He said a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) would be extremely time-consuming and very expensive; it was more appropriate for larger Town Councils where there was likely to be large development which would significantly change the area; he felt Babergh’s Core Strategy would cover Layham. Councillor Ward said that hinterland villages such as Layham would not be expected to take large developments; however, if the PC was able to identify possible sites for smaller development, this would be helpful. • Emergency Plan John Curran gave a verbal update, explaining that the Emergency Plan had not yet been published; it was still a working document. It was a response document aimed at dealing with emergencies affecting the parish and it was important to review the risks regularly. Good communication was essential, and a communications tree had been set up. A number of parishioners had agreed to act as Emergency Liaison Volunteers (ELVs); however, over the past year some of these people had moved out of the village and would need to be replaced. A list had been drawn up of skills and equipment available in the parish; this would also need to be reviewed. He would draw up a list of actions and bring this to the next meeting for discussion. • Benton Street pavement The Chairman referred to a meeting with Hadleigh Highways representatives a few years ago, to discuss what might be done to make the road between Upper Layham and Hadleigh safer for pedestrians as there was only a pavement for part of the way. A feasibility study had been carried out by a Highways technician in 2010; however, there had been no available funds at Suffolk CC to take this forward. It was noted that a new pavement had been installed in Holton St Mary, partly funded by the PC, Section 106 funding and some Locality money. Councillor Jones said he would check on what was happening on the whole Benton Street issue. • War Memorial / Remembrance Day It was agreed that the Parish Council should purchase a wreath, as usual. With regard to the War Memorial, the only action required was to clean the base, and to mow the grass nearer the time. • Defibrillator James Cartlidge MP had written to congratulate the PC on the installation of the defibrillator in the phone box in Lower Layham, and praised “the great sense of community being fostered in Layham”.

At a meeting in October it was agreed that members would continue to follow-up the topics they find interesting with a view to giving a presentation or exhibition next year. The topics under scrutiny are: Netherbury and Overbury Court Rolls; Layham School; the Tithe Map; family histories of key figures in the community; marriages recorded in St Andrew’s Church marriage register; Layham Water Mill; newspaper reports featuring village news 1750 – present day; local archaeology. Life in Layham during the 20th century A packed village hall enjoyed a presentation on 3 October by Charles Partridge using the photographs and records kept by his grandfather Tom Partridge to tell something of the story of village life during the 1900s. During the evening it was suggested that there might be a second presentation using a collection of colour photographs. If that happens there will be no trouble selling tickets. From the Village Archive With the restoration of the Marquis of Cornwallis taking place before our eyes it is a good time to feature the building, shown in this photograph about 100 years ago, when it belonged to the Colchester Brewing Company. Amongst the newspaper reports found by a member of the Layham Local History Group is an advertisement placed in The Ipswich Journal of Saturday

Layham Playing Field 100 Club winners – start of a new year Once again local people have shown their support for the maintenance and development of the village playing field by subscribing to 100 Club tickets. The draw for October came up with the following winners: £15 Ticket No Cryer, £10 Ticket No Willis-Betts Community Pay-Back work on field The Playing Field Committee has benefitted from two full days of work by teams of men who are doing unpaid work as a result of court convictions. Under the excellent guidance of their supervisor (who leads by example) a total of eleven men have completely cleared the summer growth and overgrown bushes and trees from the whole perimeter of the field. Members of the committee are very grateful for this. Now there is a huge bonfire needed to burn up all the cleared material! We have been lucky to have this help as the committee simply can’t manage to deal with all the jobs that need doing on the Playing Field. If you have a family that enjoys using the field please consider putting your name forward to help with an occasional work party – you don’t need to be a committee member just prepared for the odd bit of physical work. Contact Michael Woods 01473 823798 if you would like to help.

Mushroom Soup This recipe arrived alongside an e-card. How exciting is that? The ability to cook and save the planet at the same time! With some rather gloomy weather on the horizon, what better than to huddle up with a hearty bowl of mushroom soup? Halve the ingredients if you are cooking for one or two people, and by Sarah Thompson don’t forget to Buy And Source It Locally – add BASIL for that extra feel good factor. Mushroom Soup – Serves 4 Ingredients: 30g (1oz) butter, 1 onion, 2 sticks celery, 1 clove garlic, 450g (1lb) mushrooms, 200g (7oz) potatoes, 1 litre (1¾ pints) vegetable stock, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, Salt & freshly ground black pepper, A little sherry (optional) Method: Chop onion and celery finely, crush the garlic. Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onion, celery and garlic and fry for 3 – 4 minutes until softened. Chop the mushrooms roughly and add them to the pan. Stir mixture and continue to fry gently for a further 5 – 6 minutes. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Add them to the pan and then pour in the vegetable stock. Bring pan to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until potatoes are very soft. Blend the soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the top before serving, and add a small dash of sherry for additional oomph! If we must endure long winter nights, let us at least do so with a bowl of home-made mushroom soup. Enjoy.

If you go down to the woods today.....
Hadleigh Community Primary News
Christmas is just around the corner now and HADS has been really busy getting ready for their panto "Robin Hood Of Wolves Wood" written locally by Sarah and Trevor Clarke. Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor as the story goes but this is HADS version so something is different. Lord and Lady Hadleigh are going away and must leave the key to the Deanery Tower and to the evil sheriff of Hadleigh. Robin Hood and his Merry Men don't like the new taxes, so Robin has no choice but to take action and wonders why the taxes have gone up so much. Of course the lovely daughter Maid Marian of Lord and Lady Hadleigh is upset and wants to take action for herself. Are things going to change in Hadleigh under this new management? What does the sheriff what more money for? And what will the village (towns) people think? The panto takes place at St Mary's Church on 14th 15th 16th January 2016 at 7:30pm with a matinee performance on 16th January at 2pm. This is a family show for all ages and not to be missed. Last year was a sell out on all performances. Also keep your eye out for the panto cast at the Christmas lighting up on 6th December. Tickets for the panto will be available very soon on sale at Keith Avis Newsagent and the Panto is kindly sponsored this year by Hadleigh Thrift Shop. For more info follow us on Facebook under HADS or on our website www.hads.moonfruit.com
Fun activities throughout the school: The term has been incredibly busy so far with plenty of fun activities for every year group. Here is a brief update of some of the activities that have taken place recently throughout the school: Nursery: The children went to Polstead woods – visiting a larger wood to compliment their ‘Forest Schools’ activities. The children had lots of fun climbing trees and rolling down hills! Reception: The classes have been learning about the local library and each class will soon have visited it. Also, the children have been learning about the emergency services and were delighted to have a fire engine visit the school. We would like to thank our local fire fighters for their support.

Poetry Corner A Lost Youth Don’t Call me brave, what choice did I have? I didn’t want to go. To some un-heard of forrign land to fight an un-seenn ofe. I was so young, your only son, I knew nothing of war But ‘they’ called me away, and on that day, A child I was no more. 1914 The trenches in Ypres are deep in mud, guns roar all around The wounded, dying, in pools of blood Are scattered over the ground. 2015 It’s peaceful here, there are no tears, no suffering or pain. I’m free to run, to have my fun. Be seventeen again. Don’t weep for me on Armistice Day, be glad England is free I was not brave, what choice did I have They would of done the same for me Age shall not weary them Nor the years condem In that her world beyond our view They’ll always be young men.

Year 1: You may have seen the children walking around Hadleigh as part of their project, looking at old and new houses. They also looked for 3D shapes and numbers in the environment as part of their maths studies. Year 2: At the end of September, the children visited Felixstowe. It was part of their geography topic, comparing Hadleigh and Felixstowe. It coincided with the ‘red moon’, so the tide was high. The children found this particularly fascinating, especially when the waves splashed them! They also studied 3D shapes in the environment. Year 3: The classes visited Christchurch Park and Ipswich Museum as part of their history topic. Year 4: The classes visited Bildeston School as part of their study of mini beasts. The High School staff once again helped with the trip and led the stream dipping activities which were a major reason for the visit. On their return to school, the children continued maths and English activities associated with the trip including writing some fantastic group poems which included similes and alliteration. Year 5: There were some amazing smells coming from the Year 5 corridor when the children made pasta sauce from scratch as part of their food technology studies. We promote healthy living and the sauce was a good example of how we teach children to cook healthy foods. Year 6: Once again, the children are preparing for their trip to Aylmerton and therefore have been completing a textiles topic, making sock monkeys to take with them. The theme was ‘make do and mend’, using old materials that were easily available and could be made into something new, in the way that people would have had to have ‘got by’ with minimum cost during World War 2. HSA disco night: Once again, our HSA discos were a huge success and they managed to raise over £1000 for the school. This would not happen without a lot of hard work from parents and staff and therefore we would like to thank all those involved.

Who Said ‘There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch?’ Thanks to the generosity of people in Hadleigh and the surrounding areas, there will be a free lunch at the Ansell Centre on Christmas Day for anyone who would otherwise be on their own at this time. This applies to local villages as well. There are many reasons as to why people might find themselves alone at Christmas, for example partners who do shift work (I include myself in this category) or are working or stationed abroad, carers whatever their age, (who are welcome with the people they care for) those who are bereaved or missing loved ones, single parent families etc. For some people, being alone is fine, it may be their personal choice, we simply wish to provide a seasonal alternative. If you feel that you, or someone you know would benefit from a traditional Christmas meal, with company and entertainment, then please get in touch. Personal invitations with full details about this free event will be sent out once we have an idea of how many people we are catering for – details will include times, menus, (including vegetarian and gluten free options) transport requirements etc. Please also get in touch if you would like to assist in the running of this event. Our contact details are: Sarah and Simon Thompson 01473 829246 (please leave a message if we are out) sarahtooley10@hotmail.com

Dear Sir, The final day of the Year of the Sheep ended spectacularly with a display of expert shepherding, a historical reconstruction in the Church and the Community Primary School’s Choir singing a specially composed song. This brought to an end 18 months of hectic activity, preparing a programme of events, seeking sponsors, making bunting and, of course, sheep. The aim of the year was to raise Hadleigh’s profile, to make people aware of our heritage, to involve all the community whatever age and ability and, most importantly, to have fun. On behalf of the organising committee I would like to say thank you to all the retailers, businesses, sponsors, schools, groups and individuals who gave us their support to create a memorable year. I must also express my most sincere thanks to the members of the committee, Jan Devey, Jane Snowdon, Jimmy Wilding and Trevor Clarke who didn’t think my idea was completely mad and worked so hard to make the Year a success. It is amazing how much a few determined people can achieve. Thank you Hadleigh. Jane Haylock, Chairman, Hadleigh Year of the Sheep
Dear Sir,
Your Final Two Films Before New Year! Friday 13th November at 7.30 pm
TESTAMENT OF YOUTH (12) £3.50 on the door We are delighted to present TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, a searing story of love, war and remembrance based on Vera Brittain's classic testimony of the First World War from a woman's viewpoint. This is a powerful and passionate journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again – the futility of war and ways to make sense of the darkest of times. The role of Vera Brittain is played brilliantly by Alicia Vikander, a Swedish star, ably supported by Dominic West, Emily Watson and Colin Morgan amongst the all-star cast. This is a film you will remember for a very long time. Friday 27th November at 7.30 pm
DARK HORSE (PG) This film tells an incredible but true story. A group of local friends from the Welsh village of Cefn Fforest pool their financial resources, and, with the help of Jan Vokes, the local barmaid, buy a thoroughbred mare for £300 with the object of training the horse and entering the Sport of Kings! Trained by Vokes between shifts at her local Asda supermarket, the mare, now called Dream Alliance, grows up to be an unlikely champion, and went on to be the winner of the Welsh Grand National with £137,000 in prize money! Critics said that DARK HORSE was unforgettable – we agree! During an appropriate interval in both films we will have on sale teas, coffees and our ever popular choc ices - milk or plain. As we are not having a December presentation, your committee wish all our patrons greetings for Christmas and the New Year, and look forward to seeing you again in 2016. We will endeavour to include details of our next film programme in December’s Community News. Admission to both films is £3.50 on the door.

I'd like to take the opportunity to say thank you to everyone in Hadleigh who supported me during my election to the Town Council and whilst I was a Councillor. For a number of reasons, I decided to end my direct involvement with the Council. However, I am not abandoning the projects that I was involved with, nor giving up on my aim to help to make a positive difference for our town and community. To that end, I will be attending town council and Steering Group meetings. I would urge anyone who has ideas that benefit Hadleigh's residents and businesses, to contact our town, district and county councillors; or to attend a town council or Steering Group meeting, to make your views known directly and to ask questions. I am happy to go along with you and to help where I can. Please contact me at AJ4Hadleigh@outlook.com. Tony Boxford
Dear Sir, I liked the letter in October’s Community News from Sarah Thompson about why she loves Hadleigh. This is why I love Hadleigh - following a routine daytime visit from a British Gas engineer he remarked “How nice to be able leave my van outside with the windows open, that makes a change”. Aren’t we Hadleigh people fortunate to live where we do? John E. Brown
Dear Sir, Neonicotinoids, a nasty pesticide that is now being used again after a lengthy ban, has been used to control flea beetles that attack oil seed rape. Unfortunately this means over 30000 hectares of neonicotinoid dressed rape seed will be drilled into the soil in arable fields in Suffolk and Norfolk this autumn. There has been increased evidence the damage this pesticide have been inflicting on our bees and other pollinating insects. There has also been recent strong evidence neonicotinoid pesticides make field margins and the hedgerows toxic, even though 20+ yards from rape seed oil fields. So unfortunately insect species, small mammals, earthworms, leather jackets and farmland birds are affected. So in a nutshell, will much of the food chain will be contaminated by this insidious toxic pesticide? Jerry Oxford

Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: The concert mentioned last month has been and gone with an audience of about 60 being well entertained by the Hadleigh Community Choir performing a variety of popular songs and music. The Club raised a net ÂŁ383 for its charitable trust fund from ticket/wine sales and a raffle. Many thanks to the Choir, the very generous audience, sponsors and donors who ensured this excellent result. SPEAKER: Tony Catesby, Rotary Assistant District Governor for the area, spoke about his experiences when the cross channel electricity cables were laid in 1984. He was working for Trinity House at that time and the coastguard service provided protection for the cable laying vessels etc by creating a safety zone around the working area to divert the 400 ships using the Channel on a daily basis.Eight cables were laid between Folkestone and Calais. The cable laying team consisted of a large barge carrying 2 diggers, the cablelaying vessel and a minisub. The diggers worked 12hour shifts with one on seafloor and the other being serviced on the barge so that no hold ups would occur. Tugs moved the barge anchors as required and the cable layer followed behind. The minisub was used to check that the cables were in the correct position in the trench etc. The working area was marked by buoys which again were moved as the work progressed. Tony was guard commodore of the French section with 3 guard ships under his command supervising the movement of the buoys and communicating with ships moving up and down the Channel to ensure that they followed the divertions and did not stray into the protected area. The operation started at the beginning of April and they reached mid channel in June meeting and joining up the cables being laid in the English section. The aim was to utilise spare power generated by each country to cover shortages in the other. The system still operates today but 97% of power flow is from France to England. (Personal comment - perhaps one reason to remain in the EU as cost of power bound to increase massively if we leave) FUTURE MEETINGS: The Club is now operating on its winter timetable with the 1st and 3rd Thursdays in month being at lunchtime 12.30 for 1pm and remaining meetings being in the evening as usual. It is hoped to have 2 speaker meetings in November - 5th and either 19th or 26th. In December there is a special general meeting on 3rd, the Christmas Party on10th [ both members only], short meeting 17th as Christmas collections will have started and no meetings on 24th and 31st for obvious reasons.

Uranus November 22nd sees a golden opportunity for us to see the 7th Planet from the Sun Uranus. On this night the Moon will act as the perfect sign post because, as can be seen by the graphic, the planet Uranus is slightly above and to the right of an 87% illuminated Moon high up in the southern sky at 8pm. Though technically a naked eye object, a pair of binoculars will be needed to see the planet past the glare of the Moon. To know you're seen the planet remember that the planet won't twinkle like a star, it will appear as a small blueish point source of light. Uranus was the first planet to be discovered by telescopic aid by Sir William Herschel on March 13th,1781, but he reported it as a Comet! It soon became obvious that the object moved in a near-circular orbit and so it was realised this was a new planet. As can be seen by the other graphic Uranus is 4 times the size of Earth and has 63x our volume. Its distance also varies greatly from the Sun with a range from 18.28 AU (2,735,118,100 KM) to 20.09 AU (3,006,224,700 KM) at aphelion (farthest point from the Sun ). The planet takes 84 years to orbit the Sun once and the day length is 17 hours 14 minutes. The unusual part of Uranus is that it is tilted on its axis at 98 deg. This means that the poles are pointing towards the Sun and the planet revolves around the Sun on its back. For 42 years the north pole is bathed in permanent light, then for the second 42 years its southern pole in bathed in total Sunlight. The composition of the planet consists of three layers a rocky (silicate / ironnickel) core at its centre an icy mantle in the middle and an outer envelope of hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen comprises 83% of the atmosphere and helium 15%. The 3rd most abundant element is methane ice which accounts for 2.3% of its composition and also accounts for the planets aquamarine colour. Uranus has a total of 27 Moons and even has very faint rings circulating around it though these cannot be seen unless one has access to the Hubble Space Telescope! So, that's Uranus. A planet not seen by many apart from the dedicated astronomer but one you can now tick off your Solar System check-list. Until next month, clear skies! I would like to wish my son Zack a very happy birthday on the 15th November. Any questions please feel free to email me any time my email address is neilnorman03@gmail.com
Don’t Miss the Bus! There are good films on at the cinema, late night shopping for buying all those Christmas gifts, there’s the Christmas lights to see and while we want to support our great pubs and restaurants in Hadleigh, sometimes it is also nice to have a change – so take the Number 90 Hadleigh Community Transport Bus to Ipswich. The no. 90 bus is reliable, comfortable and friendly and will take you to Ipswich and back when the Beestons bus is not running. The Saturday evening service from Magdalen Road bus station, Hadleigh departs: 19.12 21.47 The Sunday service from Magdalen Road bus station, Hadleigh departs: 08.17 10.02 12.02 13.47 15.47 The weekday evening service from Magdalen Road bus station, Hadleigh departs: 19.12 21.47 The Saturday evening service returning from Ipswich Cattle Market: 20.00 22.30 The Sunday service returning from Ipswich Cattle Market: 10.45 12.45 14.30 16.30 17.35 The Weekday evening service returning from Ipswich Cattle Market: 20.00 22.30 The buses stop at other areas in Hadleigh and stops along the route. “If the bus service is not used, Hadleigh risks losing this service we fought so hard to win,” says Kathryn Grandon, Babergh District Councillor for Hadleigh South. “A lot of people signed the petition, so potentially there are a lot of people in Hadleigh who want to use the service.” Kathryn Grandon

Natalia Escuriola kept her nerves in check and game together to ensure the WPGA International Challenge ended in a coronation and not a calamity at last week’s 3 day LET Access championship at the family owned Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa resort. The Spaniard’s wire to wire victory not only earned her €4,800 but also fired her up to second place in the LET Access Series and Winner Natalia Escuriola with SbN ensured she will compete on the Directors Tamara Unwin main Ladies European Tour next and Susanna Rendall year. There were moments in the final round of the tournament at Stoke by Nayland however, when what appeared to be a canter to victory for the 21-year-old looked set to end in tears. Not least during the first four holes when Olivia Cowan, who pipped Escuriola for pole position in the LET Access Series Order of Merit, threatened to take the Gainsborough Course at the Suffolk resort apart. Cowan, a teenager with a British father, Scottish sounding name and BBC accent who represents Germany as a result of spending her 19 years there, began birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle. All of which meant the meaty five stroke lead Escuriola enjoyed at the start of play was reduced to an anorexic one. But in the end Cowan shared third place with France’s Ariane Provot after a two-under-par round The top five Order of Merit players of 70 and Raastad finished second proudly display their 2016 Ladies on six-under. The top five Let European Tour cards in the 18th Access Order of Merit green bunker professionals were also awarded their Tour cards which qualify them to join the main Ladies European Tour for the 2016 season; namely Escuriola, Cowan, Gutavsson, Gabsa and Bakker. The 3 day event kicked off as usual with a Pro Am tournament featuring some well known faces such as National Broadcaster Naga Munchetty, who is a spokesperson for the national “thisgirlgolfs” campaign, and who conducted a live interview with the BBC Look East studio just before the Pro Am Gala Dinner. BBC’s Stewart White and musical personality, Neil Innes also participated in the Pro Am, and Naga Munchetty and Stewart White on dinner guests and players were the 1st tee for the SbN Pro Am with entertained with a string of Pro Hannah Ralph and Lisa amazing magic feats by internationally renowned magician, David Redfearn. After play on the 2nd day the Spanish Professionals, including eventual winner Natalia, took some time out to enjoy a tour of the SbN family’s award-winning Peake Fruit orchards and cold stores nearby with Farms Director Robert England and were very interested in tasting the different varieties of English apples on offer. On the final day Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk County girls squads of all ages were treated to some golf clinics by Head Professional Roly Hitchcock and 3 of the Ladies European Tour professionals. Leading scores: 1 Natalia Escuriola (Spain) - 8; 2 Rachel Raastad (Norway) 6; 3 Ariane Provot (France), Olivia Cowan (Germany) - 5; 5 Noemi Jimenez (Spain), Georgia Hall (England) - 4; 7 Johanna Gustavsson (Sweden) - 3; 8 Valdis Thora Jonsdottir (Iceland), Bethan Popel (A) (England) - 1.

A Belated Thank You to HADAS The Brendan Oakes Memorial fishing match took place on Saturday 25th July at Bullocky Fenn and was arranged with the kind permission of the Hadleigh And District Angling Society. The weather this year was a little cooler than in previous years with a bit of a breeze. The 16 anglers who participated raised £1200.00 for the Brendan Oakes Trust; £500.00 of which was raised by Mark Snowling through an on-line auction site in association with Snowy's Bait and Tackle shop. Thank you all for attending on the day and for all your hard work in helping to organize the event and for raising money throughout the year. The winner on the day was John McAndrew with Graham Pinnock and Mark Snowling a close second and third respectively. Next years match will be the tenth since we started in 2006 and we want to make it a memorable event, so keep the last weekend in July free to come along and fish for a local charity and enjoy a BBQ at the end of the day. Mark & Valerie Oakes

Porch Project Prodigy Fourteen year old school girl, Ophelia Yannaghas, who is an iPad artist and creator of greetings cards and other designs has recently raised £100 in aid of The Porch Project which currently engages with over 450 young people in Hadleigh and surrounding areas through its social activities, learning and support programmes, school visits and street work. Inspired by Hadleigh’s ‘Year of the Sheep’ celebration, Ophelia created the design of a ram sporting a flat cap and tartan scarf in May this year and offered it to the high street in the form of a notepad, following its debut appearance at the ‘Sheep Show Peep Show night-time wall art exhibition’ on Hadleigh’s TSB building where it first appeared as a light projected image. It packed just as much of a punch in the diminutive form of a notepad and was quick to sell in Hadleigh’s shops, some of whom demanded a restock in a matter of weeks. Ophelia and her mother were thrilled with the positive outcome of the scheme and were extremely grateful to all those shops who lent their support for The Porch Project’s sake and took part. Ophelia presented the takings to the Very Reverend Martin Thrower at a thanksgiving service on the 20th September to mark the Porch Project’s anniversary.
Thankyou Marie Curie would like to thank the people of Hadleigh for generously donating the sum of £407.76 in the Co-op on Friday 16th October and £252.59 on Saturday 17th October along with £125.24 from the street collection on Saturday 17th.

The ladies marked the occasion with an invitation day, organised by Karen Perridge and Alison Mitchell along with help from Amanda Mok, Mary Gale and Sue Ashton who were the original 5 members back in 2005 and still involved with the ladies section.

The club is proud to now have a thriving ladies section. The Invitation Day consisted of 55 ladies participating in the day with 52 playing 18 holes of golf on a glorious sunny day, followed by prosecco and canapés whilst watching The KC Golf Show (Trick Show Specialist Kevin Carpenter) after which they enjoyed a meal, presentation and a raffle.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hopes of a run in the F.A Vase this season were ended when a trip to London for a match against Greenhouse Sports ended in a three goal defeat. The home side scored in the first minute and Hadleigh never recovered. But the bus load of supporters had an enjoyable day out. A league match against Thetford ended all square but the next three games against Saffron Walden, Godmanchester and Wivenhoe all ended in narrow defeats by the odd goal. The Reserves gave a great display at Cornard to gain a win by six goals to two. But the other five matches in the past month ended in defeats. However, the Reserves match at Lowestoft was not decided until the last minute when they scored the only goal of a fine game to inflict a narrow defeat. The Thurlow Nunn youth team have played well and have attracted some large crowds to home matches. They play all of their fixtures in midweek. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were Nick Barwick and Terry Adams while the Ground Improvement draw was won by Lee Day. Both draws were made by Neil Henderson at the Godmanchester match.

Hadleigh Table Tennis Club The Club has recently started the new 2015/2016 season in the Ipswich and District League. The “A” side once again are competing in Division 1 where they have been a consistent long- standing fixture for several seasons. The team remains unchanged with Captain Peter Wright ably assisted by Mike Emmerson, Steve Holland and Graham Mortimer. The latter will play a supporting role this season filling in if the team is short. Last season the team finished just below the halfway mark but no doubt will be playing to climb up the table in the current season. The “Owls” team playing again in Division 3 will be without seasoned regulars, Alan Middleton and Ken Rodwell, but have acquired two new players in Franz Guthrie and Krystoff Koper to assist Captain Rupert Pyett, Bob Southgate and Tony Hilton. So far they are without a win but once the team settles down to experience regular League play better results will soon start to come. The Club plays their matches on most Tuesday evenings at the good facilities provided by Holton St Mary Village Hall. Anyone interested in playing in the League please direct your enquiry to the General Secretary, Ken Rodwell, on 01473 823895.

A busy few months at Hadleigh Tennis Club. Following on from the successful Great British Tennis Day in June the Club have had some more enjoyable event this summer. The annual challenge match against Bildeston Tennis Club (played at Hadleigh this year) resulted in wins for both the men’s and ladies teams to hold the trophy for another year. A new family tournament (parent and child doubles matches) in August saw Richard and William Wright from Cornard Tye finally clinched victory in spite of a stiff challenge from Teams Yannaghas and Wrigley, the latter having ventured all the way from Surrey! It was sufficiently supported to warrant a repeat in 2016 when the entry criteria will be more flexible to encourage entries from different adult/child pairs. At the end of September there was the President’s Day, postponed from earlier in the year due to bad weather. A fun event of doubles matches for men and ladies where players change partners and the final result depends on games won by each individual. This year’s winner was Eunice Scott, getting her name on the Ken Goddard Memorial cup for the first time. The event was followed by an enjoyable buffet lunch provided by the competitors and refreshments courtesy of the Club’s President Finally congratulations to the Club’s Mixed doubles and Ladies doubles teams who scored very well in the local tennis leagues this summer. As Winter approaches the club’s sessions continue on Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sundays from 9.30am to 12.00 pm. Visit our website www.hadleightennis.org.uk, or if you have any queries please email to hadleightennis@gmail.com, or text Bryan Walls on 07714 484842
Hadleigh Carpet Bowls Club A quieter month in terms of league fixtures will allow us to fit in our own club singles and pairs competitions. Even so, there are challenging away fixtures in October at Bealings (9th October) and Shotley (26th October) before a number of our members travel to Potters for what will undoubtedly be a thoroughly enjoyable break with a carpet bowls theme as the main attraction. If you are interested/intrigued and wish to have a go at carpet bowls come along to the Beaumont School on a Thursday evening 7 – 10pm.
