Hadleigh Show proceeds go to Porch Project & other charities
The Very Reverend Martin Thrower founder of the project with some of the youngsters who have benefited from the initiative, and presenting the cheque for £1000, Phil Bryce 2012 Hadleigh Show Director.
The Hadleigh Show is the main fundraising event organised annually by the Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association (HFAA). In spite of its size, it is not a commercial venture and the proceeds from the Show go to local charities as well as into funding future shows. This year Show Director, Phil Bryce, chose The Porch Project as his main charity to benefit from the Show’s success. The Porch Project was the result of a central Hadleigh church offering a solution to a problem which was affecting the whole of the local community. Teenagers, with nothing to entertain them in the market town, were quite literally gathering in the church porch of St Mary’s because there was nowhere else for them to go. In September 2009, the Very Reverend Martin Thrower, founder of the project, took a bold step and opened the doors of the church to offer the twenty or so young people, hospitality and a safe space to meet in the body of the church. Today, the project is in contact with over 350 young people between the ages of 11 and 19. Drop-in nights are Tuesday and Friday where pool, snooker, card games, three large screen games consoles and supervised cooking is offered. Continues on page 4

Hadleigh Show proceeds go to Porch Project & other charities Facilities have expanded with counselling, the provision of an education suite (for homework club, sex/drug education and help with careers and jobs). Plans are also plans to start a sports academy. In 2011/2012 the project gained three awards for its work with young people, as well as interest from the Prime Minister’s office. This has been a huge encouragement to a strong volunteer base of 30 people of all ages and a full time youth work co-ordinator, Craig Hutton. Phil Bryce explains why he chose to support the Porch Project with the donation of £1,000: “The Hadleigh Show is a key annual event for Hadleigh as a community. The teenagers who live in Hadleigh are a vital part of our society and St Mary’s took the initiative to offer them a place to meet. I feel that this project should not be the sole responsibility of one church in our community but should be supported by everyone in Hadleigh and the neighbouring villages, as it is doing a great job and 350 youngsters are the better for it.” In responding on behalf of the Porch Project, The Very Reverend Martin Thrower said “It’s amazing that Phil has selected us as his chosen charity, to have the Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association acknowledging the importance of the work that the Project is doing is great recognition for all those involved. This donation will increase awareness of what we are doing throughout the membership of the Association and will help to bring in further much needed funds or at least suggestions on how we can raise them! I would welcome any of the associations members to come and see what we are doing and what a difference we are making to the young people of Hadleigh and the surrounding villages. Thank you all, it is much appreciated and will be put to very good use”. Other charities to benefit from the proceeds of the Hadleigh Show are: Dame Vera Lyn Trust, On Course Foundation (Wattisham Base), Help for Heroes, Suffolk and Stowmarket Young Farmers, Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Christmas Appeal.
Hadleigh U3A A party of 40 of our members traveled by coach into Ipswich to cheer on the Olympic Torch Relay, a wise move in view of the crowds and the traffic restrictions in place on the day. The photo shows part of our group, under our banner, as the torch passed by. We were so fortunate to have the wise and wonderful Charlie Haylock to talk to us on the afternoon of our Summer Party in the Guildhall on July 9th. Lovely weather, tea in the garden, and Charlie talked about his beloved Suffolk. In particular his subject was the Suffolk dialect and its effect on our present day language and grammar. He even explained why “Suffolk Grammar” is correct and how our unique dialect and sense of humour is a direct result of the mix of European settlers who flocked to our shores. He followed this with a lesson in the formation of speech in different parts of the country, made us aware of the wealth of ancient Suffolk, and throughout Charlie was a stand up comic and the comedian par excellence.Charlie Haylock took us back to basics with what, where and when England was invaded and illustrated how the results are still all around us in our language, particularly place names and surnames. Every village, town, and street name now makes us think. What a teacher. We learned a lot and laughed a great deal. Hadleigh U3A was indeed privileged. Our speaker next month will be talking about forensic science and firearms, while outings over the next few weeks will take groups of members to Windsor and the nearby Saville Garden, and to the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich for a performance of Somerset Maugham’s The Sacred Flame.

Suffolk Audiologist on Hearing Mission to Nepal Needs Your Help One selfless and determined audiologist from Suffolk, is returning to the Asian country of Nepal, to help improve the lives of the many hearing impaired people who live there. Jemima Phillpot, of The Hearing Care Centre, based in Ipswich, is travelling with the Christian charity, Nepal International Fellowships, which undertakes medical camps across the poverty-strickened country. The medical camps are staffed by clinical specialists from around the world who work on a voluntary basis to provide treatment to patients who would otherwise have little or no opportunity to benefit from such services, including audiology and ear surgery. The 2012 mission involves all attendees financing their own attendance as well as having to provide equipment to be used to help change lives. Help in a financial capacity is urgently required as well as equipment, particularly bone conductors/head bands, body worn aids, leads for body worn aids, medium to high powered BTEs and small ear moulds. However, anything would be gratefully received by the team. Jemima, whose last trip was in 2007 said, “ Even though the trip was a huge challenge physically and emotionally, I decided immediately that I needed to go again. “To give you an idea of the challenge ahead, the last camp I took part in treated 1023 patients, performed 150 operations, carried out 381 audiograms and fitted 107 hearing aid in just eight days.” Information on making donations can be found by visiting www.hearingcarecentre.co.uk

Howard at Lullingstone Castle As I pen these words, the Summer is being washed away before my very eyes. I know that a number of you will have been able to relax on holidays near and far. I am looking forward to a short motoring excursion to the Continent; I have sent on a trunk. I have managed to squeeze in all sorts of trips in July. Frank, my chauffeur, has been quite exhausted by it all and has had little time to tend his courgettes, Maria, my cook and housekeeper is worried that she will have a marrow on her hands before we know it. A marathon effort was a 400 mile round trip to Petersfield, Marlow and back to Hadleigh. I am so pleased with this month’s picture which was taken by a good friend at Lullingstone Castle in Eynsford Kent. The postcode is DA4 0JA in case you would like to visit. There is a small church in the grounds called St Botolph’s and I had a splendid day. One evening I went to a birthday dinner at the Pier Hotel in Harwich (a lovely venue but sadly the cleanliness of its conveniences did not match the front of house) and next morning I was motoring through the East End of London to the City and how grim all of that was. I pity those who will be caught-up for hours to reach the Olympic venues. If you would like to stretch your car’s legs why not visit Satis House at Yoxford. It is a hotel in its own grounds which I thought was rather pleasant. As one gets older, one’s memory is not what it was. A client who made his Will some six or seven years ago wanted to check on a few things. We know our clients so well that we can recall most things as necessary. My client was tickled that I should enquire as to the whereabouts of his wife’s leotard in which she wished to be buried! Did I mention the subject of Wills – well I gather that there are one or two of my loyal readers who have yet to make their Wills. The process is not particularly long or expensive. Do call the office so that we can assist. My impression is that the property market locally remains fairly buoyant both for home owners and those making an investment. I would be delighted to assist you with my 27 years of property experience. I hope that August will be that sunny month that we all crave and that you will be able to soak up some sun before the run-up to Christmas! Howard Gibbons

Jeff Hume who works in Hadleigh in Suffolk has had to learn about a new Hadleigh in Essex. “Hadleigh Farm, the venue for the men and women’s mountain biking, is one of about 30 Olympic venues I’ll have to learn how to get to as part of my role as a volunteer driver. Others include Park Lane, Horse Guards Parade, North Greenwich Arena, and not forgetting the Olympic Park in Stratford” said Jeff when asked by his colleagues where he will be working. All of my work colleagues at Free Rein Ltd in Hadleigh, Suffolk have been a great help. Our digital marketing team have set-me up with a Twitter account (#OlympicTaxiMan) so I can keep in touch, and hopefully raise some money for my local Riding For The Disabled charity near Woodbridge. Commenting on his recent training Jeff added “It has been great fun and very helpful, especially for a Suffolk lad who’s used to seeing more horses than cars. London driving is a new experience for me. We do have the compensation of having brand new BMW cars to drive, and I’m told there will be special Olympic lanes on the roads during the games” “I’m not sure who I’ll get in the back of my BMW car for the 3 weeks I am down in London, but I’m hoping to catch a few snaps of the athletes, and will certainly tweet if Usain Bolt jumps in the back of my car and say ‘men’s 100m final – step on it I’m late”. “It won’t be all work. I have got some tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic events and am especially hoping to catch Oscar Pitouris (the Blade Runner) in the men’s 400m on Sunday 9th September.” Where to mate – London 2012 Of Course! – follow me on #OlympicTaxiMan
Bildeston Primary School The children at Bildeston have been taking part in a whole school Olympic Reading Challenge. Each child had a race track to complete with as many different genres of books to read as possible. Congratulations to all the children that got either a gold, silver or bronze award and a book prize. Thirteen Olympic tickets were raffled at Sports Day and won by some lucky families. We hope they enjoy the chance of a life time. Still on the Olympic theme, the children made a torch in school ready to parade at the summer fair. Luckily the sun shone after a heavy shower, and parents and friends enjoyed watching the Bildeston Olympic torch parade across the school field. It is time to say goodbye and good luck to our Year 6. They have been working hard on producing their end of term play, written and performed by themselves called "Our Bildeston Memories" - not a dry eye in the house from all the mums and dads! They have enjoyed their transition day at High School and are more than ready to go. All the best Year 6, we wish you well. Our Junior Road Safety Officers ran their final competition of the year to design a football strip advertising road safety. Well done to the winners and thank you to Isobel and Daniel for being great JRSO's this year. Finally our Year 5 children have taken part in Bikeability and have proved themselves to be confident and capable on the road. They received a certificate in assembly from Mr. Lindsley.

Quiz Night Friday 17th AUGUST The Fidelis Committee ( L to R) Barbara Tryon, Carole Burne, Jan Devey, Lin Slaughter, Liz Wilson (Chairwoman) Eve De Negri ASK LUNCH BUNCH As this was Lunch Bunchers first visit to this restaurant in Sudbury there was a record turnout of members curious to try their cuisine. The ladies were given a separate ‘party’ area in the restaurant and could choose from a variety of different menus offering traditional Italian dishes. Miraculously everyone received what they had ordered and conversation gave way to serious eating. The flavour and content of the dishes passed the test but speed of service and complicated billing arrangements left a great deal to be desired. A ROYAL AFFAIR Combining business and pleasure enabled the group to follow its 7th AGM with a Diamond Jubilee Supper. Dress code, room and table decorations were topical and distinctly patriotic with tiaras, diamonds, union flags and their colours creating a convivial Jubilee party atmosphere. Once the AGM was over members enjoyed a delicious summer buffet provided by Chaplin Catering. Courses were punctuated by some light-hearted readings by Hilary Ferry and Jan Devey. This most enjoyable evening ended with prizes for Mary Marter (lucky ticket draw), Norma Stannard (best dressed) and good wishes from Chairwoman, Liz Wilson as Fidelis enters its 8th year.

Hadleigh Healing Society The Olympics are upon us! The torch has been carried around the country by the famous, ordinary folk, and by those who have overcome adversity and injury. It has given us all an insight, perhaps made us feel humble at the challenges some people face yet they still carry on with their lives and inspire others. Nowhere will this be more evident than watching the athletes taking part in the Para-Olympics. Each person has had to overcome their disability or injury and train to reach the level of fitness to compete. An inspiration to us all. We wish them well in their endeavours and the enjoyment in participating. Our healers are there to help those who feel the need to talk to someone and share a problem, all in confidence.

Playstation Pre-School Wow the summer holidays have come round quick again!! I’m writing this just before we break up for the holidays. Let’s hope we get some better weather than what we have had recently. We had our annual trip to the Gigglefactory over in Sudbury on 6th July. All of the children and adults had a fantastic time. Thank you to all of the adults who came along to help out, and thank you once again to the Thrift Shop for paying for the bus to get us there and back. We also had a stall at the School’s Summer Fete and we raised £96, which will be going towards buying new equipment for Playstation. Thank you to all of the Mums who helped run the stall on the day. And finally we would like to wish all the children who are leaving us to start School, ‘Good Luck’, and we will miss you all, and a big welcome to all of the new children who will be joining us is September. Please remember, if your child did not gain a place at Nursery, they can still have their 15hrs a week funding here with us at Playstation. Also if your child has just turned 2 and you would like them to come to Playstation then please give us a call to arrange and to add your child to the register. If you would like to enquire about places at Playstation we can be contacted at playstationhadleigh@btconnect.com. If you are currently considering a playschool for your child, why not come and take a look at what we can offer? Please telephone Playstation on 824271 for enrolment details, a prospectus or to arrange a visit, or visit our website at http://www.playstationhadleigh.com

Come EAAA-T With Me Have you ever seen Channel 4’s Come Dine With Me and thought “I can do better that that”? Well here’s your chance to prove it and to raise money for a good cause at the same time. This National Air Ambulance Week, the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is calling on supporters to join in with Come EAAA-T With Me, the charity’s latest initiative to put the fun back in to fundraising. National Air Ambulance Week runs from Monday 24 September to Sunday 30 September and supporters are being asked to don their aprons, light their ovens and invite their friends round for dinner in order to raise much needed funds for the charity. EAAA is inviting you to support your local life saving air ambulance by hosting a dinner party. All you need to do is invite your friends round for dinner and ask your guests to donate what they think your meal is worth to the charity. Helen Dodman, leading this project for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, said: “While this is a fun way of raising money for charity, your participation means that many more lives will be saved across the region. Our lifesaving doctor and critical care paramedic crews help to ease pain and suffering every day. It’s only through the dedication and hard work of our supporters that we’re able to fund the helicopters that help our crews to reach people in need. Without you, we simply wouldn’t exist and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in advance of your dinner parties.” For those who can’t commit to hosting an evening and cooking three courses then there are several other options. You could still have people round for dinner but split the courses between you and add a donation in for the other courses. If hosting an evening is not really what you want to do, then why not bake some cakes and biscuits and take them in to work and ask for a donation in return. For further details on Come EAAA-T With Me or to have a fundraising pack sent out to you, contact Helen Dodman on 01473 745007 or email helen.dodman@eaaa.org.uk

What is there about this bush! Its proper name derived from Greek Mythology is Euonymous-europaeus and it was not generally known as “Spindle” until the wood came into use in the wool-spinning industry in the middle-ages. In drawings of the period you often see women producing yarn by spinning a dangling length of very straight wood weighted at the lower end with a heavy object. These are the Spinsters (generally they were unmarried - which is where the common name for unmarried women came from), and the piece of wood (Euonymus was the straightest and best) is the “spindle” (presumably because they had to keep it spinning) from which the bush got its name! Later as spinning and weaving became mechanised the same wood was used for the shafts passing through the bobbins of yarn in the spinning and weaving frames (we still call parts of machines with this purpose “spindles”).The wood is very durable and in use exudes a very fine film of lubricant onto its working surface which polishes it, reducing wear. In some parts it was also known as “Pickwood” because - being very straight-grained and hard – it could be sharpened to a very fine point, making it ideal for use as toothpicks, skewers, knitting needles etc. There are several bushes along the railway. They’re a straggly shrub preferring to grow among other bushes for support. The individual twigs “squareish”, the bark dark green, and if you break into it the smell of the sap is very unpleasant. You won’t notice the bush during the spring because everything is green - even the tiny flowers. What will catch your eye during the summer are the bright pink seed pods. These consist of three or four individual lobes each holding a single large seed. In the autumn it gets better - as the seeds ripen the individual lobes separate revealing the bright orange seeds within. Although this plant is not related to the true “rubber” trees of the Far-East, the sap within its roots contains a form of latex which can be processed into a material known as “gutta-percha”. This is similar to a very hard rubber and was one of the earliest electrical insulators. Although I haven’t found any evidence that this plant was ever a commercially viable source of latex, it was used to produce several other products. Yellow and orange dyes were made from the seeds, pink from the seed cases and a volatile oil extractable from all parts of the plant was used in soap manufacture The whole plant is poisonous to humans to some degree (particularly the seeds) but like most other plants the early Apothecaries (druggists) found uses for it. A compound to treat skin parasites (Scabies, lice etc) was made from the dried leaves and bark, and an extract from the root-bark as a treatment for loss of appetite. Nowadays we know that consuming any of the compounds obtainable from this shrub can have a dramatic effect on both liver and kidneys, which beg the question of - how many people did they managed to poison before discovering the error of their ways?

Kenneth John Parker 21/12/1931 – 18/05/2012 We would all just like to say a huge thank you to Dr Irwin and all of the District Nurses in Hadleigh for all of the care you gave my Grandad through his battle with cancer. We will always be so grateful for everything you did to make him as comfortable and pain free as possible. We would also like to thank Hospice At Home for all of their support and to Marie Curie for looking after my Grandad during the nights. With all of the help they gave us, Grandad had his wish fulfilled to remain at home. Thank you once again. Emma, Andrew, Maisie, Max, Marlene & Mick
Hadleigh Community Primary News The whole school celebrates 40 years of camp Monday 25th June was a most amazing day at Hadleigh Community Primary School – the entire school visited our camp for a special celebration. This was a mammoth task involving many coaches and buses, lots of help from our home school association providing drinks and snacks, packed lunches being provided for some children and staff, and activities organised to ensure all of the children were occupied and happy. We even had a fly past from the Sea King helicopter, Mrs Cherrington baked a celebratory cake and Kaylee Powell, one of our Year six children, designed a commemoratory plate ! It was an incredible sight to see well over four hundred children enjoying the event, and thankfully the weather was kind to us. There was an art activity in the woods (making clay faces to mould onto the trees), singing around the camp fire, a mini Olympics and an assault course, organised by our friends at Wattisham base. The whole day was a triumph, and would never have happened without the careful organisation of Mrs Clarke, Mr Peters and Mrs Curtis, all of whom need to be warmly thanked for their dedication and hard work. I wonder what we will do for our 50th!
BIOMASS Olympic Sports Day On Thursday 5th July, we marked the arrival of the Olympic torch to East Anglia by staging our annual Sports Day on the very same day it arrived in Ipswich. A group of gymnasts and dancers, who had been carefully choreographed by Mrs Cocks, introduced the whole school event with a special routine in honour of the 2012 Olympics. Each class had made their own Olympic banner, and these were paraded in front of parents. Balloons, in the colour of the Olympic rings, were released in order to mark the opening of both the morning and afternoon events, and the mayor of Hadleigh gave a speech. First, second and third place competitors were given the opportunity to stand on the school's very own podium, and were awarded with badges. Many parents attended the successful event which had been carefully organised by Mr Peters and Mrs Cherrington (our school sports and PE coordinators).

A Real Alternative to Oil and Gas Very high efficiency 94% Greater flexibility as output is matched by demand Part of the Microgeneration Scheme (MCS) Earn while you save on your fuel bills Lower energy consumption and reduced fuel bills
Offering 94% efficiency, the Biomass Boiler is an attractive alternative to more conventional off-gas heating solutions such as oil and LPG. Cleaner and less volatile, biomass boilers are also independent of the fluctuating prices of oil and gas. For maximum efficiency the boiler automatically modulates output to between 100% and 30% (12kW - 3.8kW), adapting to meet your heating demands whether you have a 2, 3 or 4 bed home. As well as lowering your fuel bills and your carbon footprint, households with a biomass boiler heating system may earn 9p per kWh of heat generated under the Government's Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme.

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish
Jacqueline Rhodes, Leanne Pugh, Melanie Atkinson, Tim Yeo MP, Sue McFadyen, Debbie Woods, Sarah Underhill, Karyn Cuthbert) On Friday 29th July 2012, members of Hadleigh Childminding Group met with local MP, Tim Yeo, in a bid to highlight their concerns over Government proposals to make changes in the registration and inspection of childminders. The changes, which the group suggests could be detrimental to the children in their care, are brought forward as the Government and other leading bodies contemplate the Commission on Affordable Childcare. Commenting, Melanie Atkinson, the Chairperson of Hadleigh Childminding Group, said, "We are delighted that Tim visited with us today as we outlined to him that currently childminders are registered and inspected individually by Ofsted within the framework of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Not only does this method work, it affirms our status as professionals within this field and crucially, provides parents with the reassurance and peace of mind that their children are being cared for in a safe and properly regulated environment. Together with the National Childminding Association our group is committed to retaining the current model and trust that our MP, having heard our concerns, will bring our comments to the fore when any final decisions are made." Tim Yeo, the Member of Parliament for South Suffolk, discussed the issue with Hadleigh Childminding Group, indicating that he would also like to hear the views of other childminders within his constituency and parents who use local childminding services in order that he would have a fully rounded opinion from which to draw on as he decides how best to progress with this issue in Parliament. www.ncma.org.uk for further details and petition

News from The Station Welcome to this months edition of news from the station. At the time of writing we have been busily preparing inputs for the local schools as the end of the summer term approaches. This is always a good opportunity to remind the Town’s young people, their parents, and their teachers of the need to be responsible and sensible during their school break. Summer holidays are often a time when we see a rise in anti-social behaviour (ASB), and a rise in minor criminal offences. We hold a very strong view on ASB, and we will take action against those who choose to diminish the quality of life of other residents. It also serves as a reminder that anybody over the age of 10 years can be prosecuted, and that we will still engage with a problem individual if they are under 10. We urge you all to contact us if you are a victim of ASB. Your call could be the missing link, or your information may be enough to prevent somebody else from becoming a victim. ASB doesn’t just occur in the physical form. Month on month, Police forces across the Country receive increasing calls from people who have received disparaging text messages, threatening emails, or “cyber bullying”. It may not be a surprise to readers, but the majority of these reports emanate from social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. There are specific criminal offences under the Malicious Communications Act 1988 that can deal with written or electronic communications. There are also certain public order offences and harassment type offences that can also be used to prosecute offenders who use these forums to cause annoyance or alarm to victims. In order to prove these offences, we often have to seize computer equipment, or mobile phones and interrogate hard drives to retrieve the information. This process can take several months, and will mean that your equipment will be with us for this period. Everything you type on a computer will leave an automatic “finger print” and we will trace it. We all have a social responsibility to protect others from harmful or threatening publications, so please challenge or report this behaviour when possible. We continue to receive a high level of information from the community in relation to all manner of criminal activity and ASB. If you think you might be able to help the Police in any way please contact us or Crimestoppers. Any information given to us is treated with strictest confidence, and you can leave information anonymously. You will not be wasting our time, and the little snippet you provide might be enough for us to fill in the gaps of an investigation. I thank those of you who do contact us and ask questions, and remind you all that we are here for you. You can phone Suffolk Police on 101, visit us at the Police Station between 1pm and 3pm Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, or email the team on babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk. Alternatively you can contact me directly on the details at the end of the article. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk Telephone: 101

Was your home formerly charity property? Issue 11 looks at houses in George Street, the rents from which formerly contributed towards the maintenance of the town’s almshouses and their inmates. Bryan Haylock’s series ‘As the artist sees it’ comes to an end with an interpretation of Hadleigh’s mid 19th century crime figures. He is to be thanked for entertaining us with his original and highly amusing drawings. ‘Hadleigh on the map’ looks at what is probably the oldest survey that shows Hadleigh, while an opera star is featured in ‘Women of Hadleigh’. The front cover shows the playground of Threadneedle Street School, which closed forty years ago. I taught there for the last two terms, from January until July 1972. Pupils of Hadleigh County Primary School aged 4 to 8 were still accommodated there, while waiting to join older juniors who had already moved to Station Road. It must have been difficult for head-teacher Beti Bornett to have her school split between two sites. Other teachers at Threadneedle Street during 1972 were Val Aynsley, Fleur Farr, Sue Griffiths, Vanda Grimwood, Phil Hunt and Kate Riddleston. Some children and the staff-room were accommodated within temporary classrooms. My room in the main building was very small so I only had 22 pupils. It was my first experience of teaching 5 to 6 year-olds and I absolutely loved it. Reading was taught through the Ladybird Scheme; I still know those books off by heart. Across the playground was the large hall, where we had morning assemblies and our school dinners. We would also march there for indoor PE lessons, country dancing and for ‘movement and music’ from the radio. As the toilets were in an outside block, teachers kept rolls of toilet paper in their rooms and pupils had to ask for some sheets before making their way across the playground in all weathers. On one occasion, I couldn’t be bothered to hand out the prescribed amount and gave a lad the whole roll. As he ran across the playground holding it high in the air, the paper began to unwind and I glanced out of the window to see him arriving at the toilets with an empty cardboard Mrs Farr and Miss Hunt supervising at tube. It was the time when the last sports day at Threadneedle Star Trek first appeared to Street School, 1972 television and several boys turned up at school wearing Captain Kirk or Mr Spock shirts instead of school uniform. Parents received polite notes from Mrs Bornett, reminding them that crew-wear from the Starship Enterprise was not appropriate for school. During the summer term, the sun always seemed to shine. I remember often sitting under the shade of a horse-chestnut tree reading stories to my class at the end of the day. We had a fun sports afternoon on the small field and a day-trip to the seaside with lots of Pupils from Threadneedle Street School mums and preenjoying a day out to the Essex coast, 1972 school children accompanying us. On the last day at Threadneedle Street, my class helped me stick a yellow square on every piece of furniture and equipment that would be needed for the transfer to Station Road. Where are you now Andrew, Christine, David, Gary, Glen, Kevin, Laura, Lee, Nigel, Robert, Ruth & Tony? You must be in your mid-forties and I am now... retired!

Hadleigh’s New Butcher! NFU Mutual's Ipswich office has a new senior partner and he's recently made Hadleigh his new home. Robert Butcher, who began his insurance career with the company in 1988 at the Norwich office has returned to East Anglia after six years in France and is already enjoying life in his new surroundings. "I haven't been here long, but Hadleigh is a lovely place. There's a nice atmosphere in the town, the people are very friendly, the countryside is perfect for walks and cycling and I'm right in the heart of the area where all our clients are based." Workwise, Robert takes over the helm from local lad John Whyman who was in the role for 30 years so is he phased by the prospect of following someone who was so popular and successful? "The NFU Mutual has always been well run and offers an exceptional service, in fact the biggest pleasure in my first week has been seeing what an amazing team we have here in the Ipswich office. We've got a solid client base with some big opportunities and there seems to be a hunger to see this office not just remain the largest in the UK but also to ensure it continues to grow and always improves the service if offers." Talking of hunger, six years spent in Lyon, famed for its gastronomic delights have honed Rob's passion for good food and fine wine, so it is perhaps appropriate that his skills have found a home in a part of the country that has a growing reputation for culinary excellence. "As well as having a wonderful team, here on our patch we've got some terrific clients producing some of the best food in the country. My office window overlooks fields of barley, we have local asparagus, superb free range pork and rare breed meats, duck and poultry, artisan cheese producers....and Hadleigh has some award winning shops which means I can get it all on my doorstep." So has Rob been out to get a taste for his new surroundings in his first week? "I've been out and about already and have enjoyed hearing how passionate our clients are about their produce. Hopefully over the coming weeks and months my colleagues will be taking me to meet as many of our customers and prospects as possible. I'm certainly not one for sitting behing a desk five days a week." Rob is keen however to apply some of his experience gained in his roles outside of NFU Mutual to further develop into the wider market. "Our farmers are the lifeblood of our business and and we need to be able to duplicate the excellent service we give them in our efforts to win new business in different industries. Many other insurance providers just don't give the same level of service." A keen mountaineer, who often spent time climbing in the French and Swiss Alps during his stay in France, Rob is clearly someone who enjoys a challenge. One of his biggest however might be finding how an avid Norwich City supporter will fare in territory occupied by supporters of the clubs’ rivals, Ipswich Town. Most of Rob's clients and prospects will, after all, be "Tractor Boys". NFU Mutual, Harvest House, Alton Business Centre, Wherstead, Ipswich, Suffolk IP9 2AX T 01473 688466 F 01473 688399

Parish Report July 2012 Councillor David Grutchfield 1 Stockton Close, Hadleigh, Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5SH. 01473 822883 david.grutchfield@suffolk.gov.uk Scrutiny Committee - Monitoring Care & Public Access Scrutiny took place on the 27th of June, and covered two important items to the County, firstly on monitoring the quality of care in Suffolk, and secondly looking at public access to the County Council and ways in which it can be improved for the future. All recommendations below are unconfirmed; Monitoring the quality of care in Suffolk – • The committee discussed many aspects of how the County Council deals with monitoring the care provided in Suffolk, particularly important considering that the County Council is in the process of outsourcing its care homes. A number of witnesses from a variety of organisations providing care or helping to monitor care came along to discuss their views with the Councillors. • Recommendations were made reflecting much of the discussions that had taken place. It was particularly evident that with so many agencies working with those who required care, there was not an easy method of sharing best practice. It was suggested that meetings involving all the agencies should be convened on a regular basis to ensure that everyone was able to identify issues that could be corrected, particularly those smaller ones. • As you may have seen in the news, this scrutiny paper revealed that there were 11 Care home contracts suspended. The latest information provided at the committee stated that there was a total of 9 contracts currently suspended, and on average it took three to four months for the contract to restart as the County would need to hold an investigation and then put in place a plan to being the particular contract back up to standard. • Councillors asked the main reasons behind a contract suspension, which varied from investigations by the Police, Fire, Environment Agencies, to complaints made through the Council. Public access – • Methods of the current means of communication with the council were discussed in the afternoon session, it was also important to discuss future methods of communicating such as texting and applications for mobile devices. • Many of the councillors agreed with the officer recommendations provided in the report; however they were not in favour with the recommendation that suggested discouraging contact via other channels than the public access team if certain areas were short staffed. • It was also discussed how to improve public access to issues such as safeguarding following the concerns raised in the item above. Cabinet The Cabinet last met on the 10th of July in Bury St. Edmunds. All of the items that were discussed were passed. A few that maybe of interest to you are below; • Bramford to Twinstead Transmission Line – Options Consultation Report – the Cabinet discussed this item, and continued its objection along with the many community groups to the progress of the line, particularly if National Grid doesn’t decide to use undergrounding. Full Council The next Full Council meeting will take place on 19th of July. Free Insulation for Suffolk Homes Launched at the Suffolk Show, Councils and businesses across Suffolk are working together to help provide free cavity wall and loft insulation to homes in Suffolk. Although subject to survey, access and existing levels of insulation, this insulation offer is not dependant on income levels or age. However, there is a time limit - all applications must be received by 30 September 2012. To apply people can phone 0845 603 7686 or visit www.greensuffolk.org/toast This is an opportunity for residents across the county to get their homes insulated before winter. Such initiatives can save home owners significant amounts on their fuel bills, with cavity wall insulation saving up to £135, and loft insulation saving £175. Flooding – are you prepared? Suffolk County Council have launched a consultation seeking views from both people and businesses about proposals to tackle local or flash flooding both now and in the future. This will form part of the Suffolk Flood Risk Management plan, with the consultation lasting three months. For more information about the consultation and the flood risk management plan, please head to http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/yourcouncil/decision-making/consultations/flooding-are-you-prepared/ Rising to the Challenge in Suffolk The Olympic and Paralympic Games are more than just about the sport this summer.

Calling All Children – Free NHS Dental Appointments Hadleigh Dental Surgery is pleased to announce that we have more availability for children to be seen FREE on the NHS. Hadleigh Dental Surgery was established in 1985 and has seen many changes over the years. Our approach is caring, friendly and professional and we are registered with the Quality Care Commission. All of our dentists have lots of experience with children and enjoy the Philip Wilson, Rachael Norris challenge they bring. Our and Gurpreet Singh, aim is to educate children so they can have a healthy mouth for life. For our younger children, we like to make their visits as much fun as possible. We have a waiting room filled with toys and books to read and in the surgery a ride in the dental chair with a lovely nurse to look after them throughout their visit and a sticker or a smiley face at the end of their appointment. Our older children can benefit from the education given to them in a way in which they can easily understand and carry out. We also like to chat to their parents. We like to see all our children on a regular basis, hopefully twice a year, so that we can build up a professional relationship with them and closely monitor any changes to their mouths. We are also able to refer children who need to have their teeth straightened to local orthodontists again on the NHS. Many of our patients choose to take this opportunity and are rewarded with beautiful straight teeth. During this treatment we still carefully monitor their teeth. Children are often very self conscious of the appearance of their teeth and we can help with this and any other problems, including bad breath and how to keep it at bay. Of course, we are also here for when accidents happen and for when treatment is needed. We aim to make any treatment as comfortable as possible. Getting the treatment promptly and correctly can prevent future problems and costs incurred when the child grows up to an adult. Our Dental Team welcomes new children at our practice and asks parents to take 5 minutes to ring up and book an appointment to get your children’s teeth checked. Patients often ask at what age should we bring our child in for their first visit? and our advice is ‘as soon as they have any teeth’. The earlier they come, the sooner they get used to having regular check-ups. Our reception team are waiting to hear from you, call us now on 01473 823092 Who knows the future of the NHS??? Take advantage now to gain the health benefits for a healthy and confident smile. The Children are our future! For all you existing patients under the care of the Hadleigh Team; keep your teeth and gums healthy with good brushing and ‘watch those sweets’! Look forward to seeing you soon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Olympic Rings
Recipe for Success by Sarah Thompson
It’s the Summer holidays, or at least it would be if the great golden orb in the sky would put in the occasional appearance! So alongside BASIL (Buy And Source It Locally) comes the KISS rule – Keep It Simple Sarah. With that in mind, here is something for the children and for the young at heart.
Ingredients Quantity of mini ring doughnuts (available in the Co-op) in multiples of 5. 50g unsalted butter 2 cups icing sugar 2 tablespoons milk Red, blue, green, yellow and black food colouring. (I got black food colouring in Sudbury, but use cocoa powder if not) Method To make the icing, cream the butter with an electric whisk. Add the icing sugar and milk. Beat the mixture till light and creamy. Divide into five portions. Add one colour to each of the portions. Using a teaspoon, coat five mini doughnuts with each colouring to create the Olympic rings. Arrange them as follows – blue, black and red at the top, with yellow and green underneath. Incidentally, there is no reason why you can’t use full-size doughnuts, it is simply that the mini ones go further! Whether you are a sports fanatic or, like me, just happy to watch from the sidelines, enjoy the moment.
Queenie Stannard 1926-2012 The family wish to thank all relatives and friends for the many cards and letters of sympathy received following the loss of Queenie. Sincere thanks to Hilary Griffin for conducting the service, The Eight Bells for the catering and Barbara for doing the flowers. We are also very grateful to all the staff at Angel Court for the love and care given to Queenie. Donations to Angel Court in Queenie’s memory amounted to £270.00.

Kennel cough in dogs, is a bit like human coughs, very contagious but barring complications not very serious. From the veterinary standpoint the most important thing is to rule out other more serious causes such as heart disease, allergic bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. Usually there is a history of contact with other dogs or a stay in kennels. Also the cough ends with a short period of gagging. Normally the dog is otherwise very well. The summer, with many dogs going into kennels is a time of heightened risk of an outbreak. The main causes of the infection are a virus Parainfluenza and a bacteria Bordetella. These have been incorporated into a vaccine which is given into the nose and gives immunity after 3 days and lasts for a year. It is worthwhile giving this vaccine before using dog kennels, many of which insist on vaccination anyway before entry. The other vaccinations given to dogs are the initial puppy ones given as two doses from 8 weeks of age, for Distemper, Parvovirus. Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Leptospirosis. These are all repeated after a year, but after that only Leptospirosis is given annually. The other viral diseases are now only given every three years. Forty years ago it was not uncommon to see Distemper and Leptospirosis cases. Parvovirus was a great problem thirty years ago and is still so in some areas. Vaccination of dogs over the last forty years has greatly reduced the incidence of these diseases, but unless we keep vaccinating a significant proportion of the dog population they will gradually return.

Out of the Frying Pan Once more it’s time for the Hadleigh people to take up their pens and lobby the Council for a better and more sympathetic regard for the future of our town. Last month, my colleague Kathryn Grandon wrote regarding Babergh’s deliberation on the Core Strategy and Policies (2011-2031). In particular she (and a number of us) are concerned about the plans for Hadleigh. Until earlier this year we had only seen indicative plans suggesting that there would be a mixed development of 250 houses and 5.5 hectares (11 acres) of commercial construction south of Tower Mill Lane and to the east of Frog Hall Lane. It’s very difficult to argue against housing and jobs. The devil, as always is in the detail and an illustrative map suggests that the planners intend a commercial/industrial corridor stretching south of the A1071 and extending two thirds of the way to Station Road. Current plans for the commercial site adjacent to the new Weavers Meadow (Persimmon) estate include a 24 hour warehouse operation with lorries reversing and loading during the night and exiting in the early hours of the morning delivering their loads throughout East Anglia and beyond. Such is the expected noise pollution that Persimmon have included in their plans “for properties, where possible, to be orientated away from the road and employment area. Appropriate acoustic glazing will be installed, with acoustically treated ventilation to create an acceptable internal noise climate ...when windows are closed”. Well if that doesn’t give you confidence in developers I don’t know what will! We should be focussing on quality houses not rabbit hutches. We should think about social housing being more than just adequate and we should require the commercial and industrial areas to be located alongside and with access to the A1071 – not sharing the streets with residential areas. Babergh is now consulting on the Core Strategy and Policies (2011-2031) and the consultation ends on 24th August. The core strategy document can be found on Babergh’s web site and your response to the consultation can be sent for the attention of Paul Bryant (e-mail ldf@babergh.gov.uk). This article is the sole responsibility of Brian Riley, District Councillor, Hadleigh North. The views expressed should not be taken as those of Babergh District Council

Quiz Evening Saturday 15 September 7.30 pm at the Village Hall
Letter www.layham.org from Layham Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Parish Council meeting of Wednesday 27 June were: • Our District Councillor reported that Babergh District Council would be required to make further savings over the next three years and there would be a number of consultations during the rest of the year in order to identify priority needs. A recent article in the EADT had highlighted the newlylaunched Rural Fair Share initiative - anyone wishing to find out more about the campaign should visit www.rsnonline.org.uk. • The Chairman referred to Suffolk County Council’s new initiative for textile recycling using the existing blue recycling bins, which could have a detrimental effect on the income raised by Layham Parish Council from its own Recycling Centre, which was put towards improvements in the village. It was suggested that parishioners might use the specially designed recycling bags provided, but place them in the textile collection bin in Layham – this proposal would be discussed with the County Council. • A total of 37 people have now signed up to the Layham Community Email group. To join, just send an email to layhamcommunityemail@gmail.com stating that you would like to receive information in this way - please include your name and address. • The Parish Plan workshop held on 12 June highlighted among many matters raised three main issues/suggestions: 1. Broadband 2. Speeding/traffic concerns 3. Lunch Club • A full report giving feedback from the workshop is in the process of being prepared by Suffolk ACRE, and will be discussed fully at the July PC meeting. However, if you were unable to attend but would like to raise any burning issues, please email the Parish Clerk, Jane Cryer – layhampc@gmail.com. • The National Grid Working Group was due to meet again on 3 July to prepare a response to the Connections Options Report. It had now been confirmed that cables would be placed under ground in the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley, but not in the Brett Vale. Jonathan Glancey, a freelance writer, journalist and lecturer living in Hadleigh, had agreed to help ‘champion’ the Brett Vale – Maggi Hambling had also agreed to be involved. The dates of meetings for the whole year are displayed on the main village notice boards. Information about the Parish Council together with full minutes is on the village website: www.layham.org The Clerk to Layham Parish Council is Jane Cryer who can be contacted on 07920 713940 or layhampc@gmail.com
Layham Community Email This is our village notice board of the future and so far just 37 households have registered with us – that is 200 short of all the homes in the village. Please register your willingness to receive village news by email – just send a note to: layhamcommunityemail@gmail.com and include your name and address. You will then occasionally be sent local information by the Clerk to the Parish Council. The system will be used sparingly and your email address will not be divulged to anyone else.

National Grid at work You can’t have failed to have noticed the work being done to renew cables between the pylons crossing our parish. The photograph was provided by Laurence Nicholls. If National Grid have their way they will be replacing the smaller line (132kV) pylons with the much larger 400kV versions in a year or two. Your Parish Council is representing the view that we would like the new cables to be buried underground.
First World War Casualties from Layham Can you help with any information? We are trying to establish the stories behind the names of soldiers killed in the First World War and remembered on our village war memorial. Hazel Wilding (nee Rolfe) has recently provided a photograph of her grandfather Ernest Frederick Rolfe, before he was sent off to the Somme with the 1st Bn. Cambridgeshire Regiment. He died, aged 23, on 28th August 1918 and was buried in Meaulte Military Cemetery near Albert. Before enrolling in the army Ernest lived in Snatch Cottage on Overbury Hall Road and worked on the land. Are there any descendants of others named on our war memorial who may be able to help us with family details? We do have some information but hope to find more – particularly photographs. The other names are: Bdr.J.Crisp; Pte. E. G. Buckenham; Pte. A. Steward; Pte. A. E. Rolfe; Pte. G. F. Ward; Pte. J. Welham; Capt. J. R. Rowley; Gnr. A. J. Beeston; Pte. H. Pizzey; Pte. W Rolfe; Pte.

Layham Playgroup Trip to Highwoods Country Park As mentioned in last month’s edition, the children recently went on a trip to Colchester to visit Highwoods Country Park. The children were very excited and eagerly boarded the coach. When we arrived we went on a woodland walk using all of our senses. We used mirrors to look at the tops of the trees, imagining we had a ‘squirrels’ eye view! We listened to all the different woodland sounds, felt the rough bark on the trees whilst bark rubbing and smelt the fresh green grass when making woodland potions. We even managed to use our sense of taste at snack time and lunch time! The children also spent time hunting for bugs which they really enjoyed. A big thank you to the Hadleigh Thrift Shop for their kind donation towards the cost of the trip and to all the parents and carers who helped on the day. We continued with the minibeast theme back at the Playgroup, focusing on caterpillars. We read all about the Very Hungry Caterpillar and talked about the foods he liked to eat. This lead us on to making our very own fruit salad for the children to enjoy. We were also lucky enough to have some real caterpillars at playgroup which we could watch eat, get bigger and then spin their cocoons. It was wonderful to let them fly away in our garden once they had turned into butterflies. Fireman Vist What an exciting half term we have had! We were lucky enough to have a fire engine come to visit the Playgroup recently, thanks to one of our dads who is a fireman. We had a good look at all the equipment and were particularly captivated by the ‘jaws of life’. We also all got to have a play with the hose, as well as having a good luck at the uniform which the staff got to dress up in! Sporting Stories As the Olympic torch passed through our region we made our very own mini torches. We then took it in turns to carry these down the lane, and also had some races in different team colours. If you fancy joining in with some sporty fun then Brett River Children’s Centre will be holding a ‘mini sports’ on Layham playing field followed by a picnic (please bring your own) on 13th August from 11.30-12.30. If the weather is wet this will be held in the Brett River Children’s Centre. Our Toddler Group takes place every Wednesday morning, please come and join us for lots of fun and friendly faces. During the Ladybird sessions from September, George from Brett River Children’s Centre will visit to run a five week baby/toddler yoga course between 10.30-11.00. Watch this space for further details! Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh. Government funding is available for 3 year olds and in certain cases for some 2 year olds. If you are looking to creatively occupy your 2 – 4yr old and would like an information pack or would like to arrange a visit, please contact us on 07999 866419 or email us at admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Written reports were provided by Councillors Grandon, Riley and M Munson. They answered questions on the new development at the top of Lady Lane and the Morrisons planning application. Councillor Nevard wished to thank Councillors Grandon and Riley for their efforts in obtaining additional bus services for the town. REPORT OF THE COUNTY COUNCILLOR No written report had been provided. MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS The Clerk reported: i) An e.mail received from Councillor Grutchfield advising that a saving of £550,000 per year, which will increase as the cost of electricity rises) will be made by Suffolk County Council as a result of having street lights switched off from 12 midnight to 5.30am. ii) A letter from the National Grid providing an update on the Bramford to Twinstead Tee Connection Project. iii) Details of bus timetable changes which can be viewed on www.suffolkonboard.com iv) Thank you letters received from Miss Polly Bell and Mr. J. Goulbourn for grants received. STANDING ORDER NO. 24 Councillor Byrne asked if the Clerk was aware that sensors had been placed on some street lights in areas of the High Street that should not be turned off? ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENT It was RESOLVED that accounts amounting to £48,264.26 be approved for payment. REVIEW OF STANDING ORDERS & FINANCIAL REGULATIONS These were reviewed at the meeting and Councillors proposed to make no changes at this time but would be reviewed again in June 2013. This was carried unanimously. CODE OF CONDUCT Councillor Cook reported that Councillors no longer have a Code of Conduct but that Councils within the Babergh/Mid Suffolk District be encouraged to adopt the Suffolk Local Code of Conduct. She also reported that there would be no Standards Committee in the Babergh or Mid Suffolk area and alternatives were being investigated. PLANNING COMMITTEE The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 17th May 2012 subject to Councillor Cook reading Councillor Angland as the Finance & Personnel Representative, and the Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 7th June 2012 were noted. Councillor Cook added that at present Babergh has no facility on their website whereby objections to planning applications can be viewed, although Mid Suffolk do. Peter Burrows of Babergh had advised that he was hoping to get this available on their website in the future. In the meantime Councillor Cook encouraged anyone writing for or against a planning application to copy Hadleigh Town Council in on their letters so they are aware when making any recommendations. Councillor M Munson reported that the new Planning Officer at Babergh was Christine Thurlow and the Town Clerk was asked to invite her to the next Planning meeting. SPORTS & OPEN SPACES COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 3rd May 2012 and 17th May 2012 were received and accepted. 24

Councillor Whiting reported that the 4 parking bays at the cemetery had been put on hold due to cost. These would be addressed in the future but at present purchase of further land was a priority. Councillor M Munson advised that she had spoken to the Chief Executive with regard to financial help towards an astroturf surface at Layham Road. RESIDENTS PLAYGROUND REQUEST A request had been received to turn land at Ansell Close/Timperley into a playground. The land is owned by Babergh and the Town Clerk had contacted Mark Tavenor who did not see any problem with the proposal but the land would have to be licenced to Hadleigh Town Council so they could run the playground. Monies would also need to be obtained to set it up. Councillor Cook reported that the land could be designated as “in perpetuity” through the Fields in Trust (previously the Playing Fields Association) to preserve the land. It was felt that a playground in this area was a good idea and all Councillors were in favour of the Town Clerk pursuing this. FINANCE & PERSONNEL The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 14th June 2012, and accompanying Addendum was received and accepted including the recommendation to provide grants to: i) £300 to Hadleigh Guides towards a planned trip ii) £400 to Hanna Farley raising fund to travel to Peru with the Charity Kiya Survivors. iii) £1,000 to Mrs Phillips raising funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young iv) £150 to Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Committee towards their funds v) £250 to the Kernos Centre towards costs vi) £1,000 to the Hadleigh Community Choir towards setting up costs. ENVIRONMENT & GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE The Report of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 17th May 2012 and 14th June 2012 were received and accepted including the recommendation to provide an additional dog bin in Yeoman Way. Councillor Grutchfield had reported that he had Quality of Life monies for road improvement. This was estimated at around £20,000 and he had asked for 20 to 30 schemes to be put forward. It was felt that this number was not viable and it was recommended we request some of the monies go toward the purchase of No Waiting Cones. Councillor Grutchfield had offered £250 towards the Streetwatch scheme if Hadleigh Town Council would match this offer. It was unanimously agreed to accept his proposal and for the Town Clerk to match fund this amount. Councillor Haylock reported that she had attended a local community group consultation regarding the pylons and feels we should support Layham Parish Council’s objections. It was proposed that the Town Clerk liaise with Layham and also with Mr Angland regarding this. Councillor Byrne reported that the Dedham Vale/Stour societies were setting up a meeting in the next week or so and that it might be useful for a member of Hadleigh Town Council to attend. It was agreed that Councillor Angland be our representative and report back. The issue of use of the building for events if the weather was bad was proposed to be put on the next Hadleigh Market Feoffment Charity agenda. FORUM MEETING The Report of the Annual Meeting held on the 30th May 2012 was noted. Councillor Clarke reported that approximately 300 people had attended the Jubilee Street party despite the bad weather. He mentioned the disappointment of the Committee at the bad press following information given by the Town Clerk being misinterpreted and that a letter of explanation sent to the press had not been printed. Coverage in the EADT and the forthcoming Hadleigh Community News was favourable. FINAL ACCOUNTS 2011/12 The Town Clerk reported that the internal auditor’s report had been completed. These accounts were proposed as a correct account by Councillor Cook and seconded by Councillor Haylock and unanimously approved.

Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Schedule of Decisions of the Local Planning Authority. B/12/00458 and 459 – MORRISON’S APPLICATION The Chair explained that this item was on the agenda to explain Babergh District Council’s reasons for deferring their decision whilst the solicitor took legal advice. The Clerk was asked to write to Babergh District Council pointing out that the store had originally been sold with A1 planning permission so that the current objection was inconsistent. The Clerk was also asked to point out that this development should not be referred to as an out of town store but as an edge of town store. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS The Chair reported the document tabled gave details of amounts Section 106 monies paid to Babergh District Council for all new dwellings in the town. The committee would now monitor these amounts in future. The Clerk was asked to contact Babergh District Council to ascertain when the next amount of section 106 monies would be available. The Chair reported that the signage to Durrant Park has now been covered up and official agreement would need to be presented to Babergh District Council by Persimmon Homes for the naming of this development. The Chair reported the email received from the police regarding parking restrictions on Church Walk and Church Street as Suffolk County Council are investigating these areas. The Chair reported on a document received from SALC on the Sustainable Community’s Act which is available in the office for any councillors interested in this matter. Councillor Byrne reported that the members of the Stour Valley group had
contacted her regarding the undergrounding of electricity cables in the Brett Valley. It was agreed that this would be an agenda item for the next Town Council meeting as more information should be available as there should be a meeting between both groups before July’s meeting. It was agreed that Councillor Angland should represent the Town Council at this meeting. Councillor Free asked if any action could be taken over the property being built on the part side garden of 63 Aldham Road. The Clerk was asked to write to the Enforcement Officer of Babergh District Council requesting that he investigates this incomplete structure. Councillor Whiting raised the subject of additional primary schools possibly being required in the town for the future following new developments in the area. The Clerk was asked to contact Graham Newman to obtain exact figures used when calculating school facilities. It was also agreed that the Town Council would support the Beaumont Schools on-going requests for the two agreed additional classrooms to be built, as it was felt these would provide the additional primary school place for the residents on the development off the A1071.

....YOU ask the Questions! This month we put your questions to....... Porch Project Youth Leader
Craig Hutton Craig, we know that you are not from Hadleigh, so where do you originally come from? I'm from a small town about 20 minutes south of Belfast called Dromore, In County Down Have you always been a Youth Leader? I have been a Youth Worker now for about 8 years working all over the UK and Northern Ireland, and absolutely love it. I helped start one of the biggest youth work organisations in Northern Ireland called Fusion where we turned a church hall into a night club and had 5-600 young people every Saturday night, that is still flourishing and growing, also I have been involved in working with gangs in Birmingham which was difficult but very rewarding, as well as working for youth work organisations such as YFC and the Base. What is the Porch Project and why do you think it has been such a success with the youth of Hadleigh? The Porch Project is a youth work project set up in St Marys Church which provides a safe space for young people to hang out and socialise as well as play games consoles on big screens, pool, snooker, nail bar, and food. We are here as people dedicated to helping any young person that needs it in whatever way we can and have a real passion for seeing young people reach their full potential in life, we work with local bodies such as Hadleigh Town Council, Babergh District Council and many more in order that young people have as many possibilities in life as we can provide for them. I think it is such a success firstly because we have a great team of people who volunteer, make food, give money and pump so much energy and time into this project and secondly because the young people have made it their own. What does your typical day involve?
Thinking of replacement windows, doors, fascia, soffits or conservatory?
THEN CALL US FIRST!!
A typical day for me is normally engaging with young people all through the day, dealing with any issues they may have, or just need someone to chat to, representing young people on exclusion boards, going to meetings about community development, planning sessions, admin (always a pain but essential), developing our policies and procedures, working on the new website, etc etc needless to say I don’t have much free time ha ha ha. We know the Porch Project is sponsored by St Mary’s Church does this mean that all your activities are church orientated? Sometimes this can be a common misconception, that because it is in a church that we have a hidden agenda to convert young people to Christianity. I can assure you there is no hidden agenda. Our Tuesday and Friday sessions have no formal religious setup, they are just run as a youth center. However if young people want to talk about Christianity then we will discuss what we believe. Because so many young people were taking an interest in Religion and Faith etc we started a Sunday night Illuminate which focuses on God Stuff and at its peak we had 60 on one evening. This will be starting again in September for those who want to discover the faith stuff.
SUREFIXSUREFIX REPLACEMENT WINDOWS, DOORS, FASCIAS, SOFFITS AND CONSERVATORIES PVCU, ALUMINIUM, HARDWOOD, SECONDARY AND CHOICES OF COLOURS AVAILABLE FULL REPAIRS UNDERTAKEN ON EXISTING DOUBLE GLAZING HANDLES, LOCKS, TRIMS, MISTY/BROKEN SEALED UNITS, DROPPED DOORS ETC. WE CAN ALSO SUPPLY ALL MATERIALS FOR DIY / TRADE
What do you find most rewarding about your Job? The most rewarding part of my job is getting emails and letters from parents saying how much they have seen such changes in their kids from coming to the Project, it is really humbling and I just continue to be moved by how much support we get by parents, local authorites, etc. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Well when I have spare time I love playing fooball, cinema, nice restaurant with nice glass of red wine and just going out for a laugh And lastly, please sum up Craig Hutton in three words! Passionate about young people (Thats 4 words - you can’t count Craig!)

The Trustees & Management Committee of The Porch Project want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make the Fund Raising Hog Roast on 1st July such a success. We have been lucky enough to raise funding for specific areas of the Project, but these funds can only be spent as specified â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example on our Education Suite or on our security access system (both of which should be up and running from September) but we struggle, as most Charities do, in raising funds for unrestricted use. We deliberately kept everything as close to Hadleigh as we could and thanks to the enormous generosity of those who attended and our friends in the local business community we raised well over ÂŁ2,000. First, our grateful thanks must go to Cyndy & Tony at Priory Hall who so generously gave us use of their gorgeous gardens and Hall in which to hold our event. If anyone is planning on getting married, you really MUST check-out Priory Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are few finer .... Simon & Ros from Smugglers Catering really did us proud. The freerange, rare breed hog was roasted to perfection: succulent and deliciously flavourful with seriously crispy crackling, all the relishes and sauces you could wish for and an array of vegetarian options, locally baked baps, salads and individually crafted desserts that tantalised every palate (and I saw a lot of bulging â&#x20AC;&#x153;doggie-bagsâ&#x20AC;? finding their way out!). Steve from the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head in Lower Layham provided the bar and had working with him, two very special young ladies about whom more later ... Kelvin & Matt from Avis Printers very generously printed all our tickets for us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks guys. Merryn Everitt brought along her harp and delighted the crowd with a brilliantly large repertoire of music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of which we never knew could be played on a harp ! Our own Craig Hutton, rather limited by a cast on his broken foot (!), entertained us with songs accompanied by his guitar. What an eye opener for those of us who had not heard him play or sing before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was truly amazing. I almost asked for his autograph so that when the time comes, I can say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew him before he became really famous !â&#x20AC;? Before I come to the raffle prizes so generously donated, I must thank, on behalf of the Porch Project, the two girls who worked the bar: Nicky and Diane. Not only were they cheerful, efficient, professional and a joy to spend time with, they turned out to be two of the most selfless young ladies I have ever met. When they won a ÂŁ50 cash prize in the raffle, they immediately donated it back to the Porch Project as a gift. What a fabulous thing to do girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we cannot thank you enough. You brought a tear to a few eyes that day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not just to the ladies I can tell you !! From the bottom of our hearts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thank you. Other prizes that were won by Volunteers were also returned to be re-drawn but we thought this act by Nicky & Diane went way above and beyond. Needless to say, thank you to all the Porch Project Volunteers who came and assisted on the day or worked so hard behind the scenes to make the day the success it was. And really the biggest thanks of all must go to everyone who gave up their time late on a Sunday afternoon to attend the event, made such a fabulous atmosphere and dug deep to assist in the aims of our â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or should I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yourâ&#x20AC;? - charity. We could not have done it without you !! Finally, our gratitude to our amazing local business community who helped make it all possible: 2 x ÂŁ50 cash prizes from The Hadleigh Thrift Shop; Half a case of wine from John & Caroline Everitt; a ÂŁ10 pizza voucher from Hollow Trees Farm; A large hamper with a variety of local goods from Pauline Thrower; a bottle of single malt whisky from John Goulbourn; a pair of books by Philippa Gregory and a faux leather travel document wallet from Jess Nevard, Traditional Full afternoon Tea for Two at Hintlesham Hall, a bottle of Claret from Lesley Turner; a large box of chocolates from Penny Cook; a set of three sauces & chutneys from Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm; A bottle of Famous Grouse Whisky, a bottle of Kirsch and a bottle of Rose Champagne from Sir John & Lady Hall; a ÂŁ10 voucher from Jollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butchers and a ÂŁ5 voucher from Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butchers. If anyone wishes more information on The Porch Project, or wishes to consider becoming a Volunteer or an Associate, we would be delighted to hear from you. If you have any questions or would just like to know a little more about what we are doing, we will very shortly have our new website up and running but, in the meantime, please contact Martin Thrower martin.thrower@btinternet.com or Craig Hutton craigus44@hotmail.com or Jess Nevard jessicanevard@btinternet.com I must just add my personal thanks to everyone who made organising this event so pleasurable and easy.

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.net Website: www.hadleighhigh.net Headteacher’s intro Although the promise of good weather in July is no longer guaranteed this month still holds many opportunities for our pupils. Our Enrichment Week where we focus on further developing pupils’ independent learning skills, encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning and developing the skills and attributes to be an active contributor to a team. The outcomes of the week show how flexible and able our students really are when they have the opportunities to develop their self-confidence. When confronted with unusual challenges they rise to the occasion and show us their true potential. Many pupils truly excelled in the wide variety of activities on offer and performed at new heights, sometimes literally! We were really proud of our pupils’ achievements. For the first time, Year 7 went to Danbury Adventure Centre in Essex. If three days of canoeing, mountain biking, high ropes, orienteering, climbing, BMXing and problem solving didn’t tax them, two nights under canvas certainly did! All the students surpassed themselves at something unique to them, whether it was a best time down the BMX course or that first foot on the tightrope twenty feet up, and it was fascinating to see them grow so much in ways the classroom doesn’t always manage. Year 8’s week was focused around the Combined Arts Spectacular; a mixed media performance using Art, Drama, Dance, Music and, for the first time this year, puppetry. All the hard work culminated in a performance which dazzled and amazed in equal measure. Year 9 were split for 2 activities with some hardy souls venturing to Southern France for the annual adventure in the Ardèche. Again nerve and body were tested repeatedly in a variety of outdoor pursuits although surviving the thirty hours cooped up on the bus sounds challenging enough to me! The other year 9 groups combined with some of our Year 7 pupils to produce Olympic bids. The aim of combining year groups was to provide a prolonged period of time for pupils to develop their leadership and teamwork skills. Their week came to a crescendo in a wonderful series of presentations which I had the honour of judging. The difference between the groups was only six out of a possible 100 points, so choosing a winner was very difficult but in the end the Chinese bid was successful. Needless to say, our students surpassed themselves and pushed their creativity and nerve into new areas. Year 10 had their own challenge with Work Experience. When students go out into the community it is always a little nerve racking but again our students rose to the occasion with the right, positive attitude. We value the chance for students still get the chance to sample life outside school with all that encompasses. All these opportunities are made possible by the hard work, enthusiasm and commitment of our staff – a real strength of our school as well as the unusually positive relationships which exist between our staff and pupils. We look forward to pupils returning at the start of September for another exciting and challenging year. Ardéche On the 30th of June, 80 pupils from Year 9 set off on a journey to the Ardéche in the South of France for a week. The week was filled with brilliant activities and fantastic team building opportunities. Some of these activities included the high ropes, kayaking, the Jacob’s ladder, vertical play pen, raft building and many more. A pupil who went on the trip said: ‘The activities were nerve-racking but incredibly fun and exciting at the same time’. Aside all the activities, the students also went on an amazing two-day descent down the Ardéche River. They spent part of the first day learning how to canoe safely and accurately. Afterwards, they set off and began their experience. The students went down rapids, and drifted under the Pont d’Arc. Everyone said it was a wonderful sight to see: a huge stone arc, completely naturally formed. They ended the day at a ‘bivy site’, where they set out our sleeping-bags and slept under the stars, after a filling barbecue. The next day was even more exciting and challenging, with bigger and faster rapids. In total the students canoed around 30km over the two days and were all exhausted by the end! It was an adventure you wouldn’t want to miss! Year 10 Work Experience Year ten went on work experience between the 25th of June and the 6th of July. Work experience is a great opportunity for students to get a taste of working life. Many people enjoyed their placements. It gave the Year Tens an idea of future career paths, some who already know what they would like to do in the future and others who didn’t. The students had to write up their experiences into a diary, they will then get marked on this and will be awarded a bronze, silver or gold award. One exceptional diary will receive the trophy for the best work experience project. 28

Danbury 2012 On the 2nd to the 6th of July 125 Year 7 pupils went to the Danbury adventure camp in Essex for Year 7 camp. It was the first time the school has been to this centre and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it despite the wet weather and muddy conditions. The student enjoyed a wide range of activities and team building challenges such as leap of faith, mountain biking, canoeing, climbing, tree-tops and archery as well as many evening games. Both the staff and students had a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone who helped to organise these fun filled few days! Hadleigh Olympics On Thursday 12th July, Hadleigh High held its own Olympics to celebrate the Games in its own way. We were very fortunate to receive pleasant weather which enhanced the atmosphere therefore maximising pupils’ spirits and benefiting our performance. An Opening Ceremony kick started the day in which students demonstrated their talents including musical acts from our Year Tens followed by a successful routine exhibited by the Diamond Lights Majorettes. Oscar Vardon Barber in Year 9 inspired many participating pupils with his outstanding achievement in the 100m sprint where he obtained a great time of 11.53 seconds, beating the previous school record. Oscar was extremely astonished and pleased by this result and hopes to exceed this in the year to come. Alex Baxter also showed his sporting commitment, as he won the Year 7 1500m in an amazing 5:01 minutes! Alex said he enjoyed himself, and that he thought that our school’s Sports Day was well organised and a huge success. On a lighter note, both the Year 9 boys and girls’ three-legged races were close and competitive. Seth Philbedge and Sam Beven won by less than a second, and Ruby Shepperson and Zoe Whadcoat won by a long way, only tripping once they’d crossed the line. Although many participants did not achieve first place, they kept a high spirit throughout and “aimed to do better next year.” Sports Day provides an enriching experience for all viewers and contributors, involving a healthy competitive environment where everyone is respected and encouraged to do their personal best. We thank all those that were involved in the event; we hope to see the same outstanding results in the following year. Year 9 Thorpe Park Reward Trip On Monday 16th July the majority of Year 9 visited Thorpe Park as a reward trip. There were many things to do at the park, even if you didn’t fancy going on any rides, including water zorbing, shopping and visiting the SAW Alive Horror Maze. Everyone greatly enjoyed the visit despite the damp weather throughout the excursion. Even the teachers had a great time at the park including the Year leader Mr. Branch who said: “It was a great outing despite the odd drop of rain. I think Year 9 definitely deserved it as they have been working very hard all through the year and the key stage.” Tom Diduca was one of the many students who enjoyed the trip and said, “It was a good way to end the year and I hope we do something like that again!” The students were all very grateful towards the teachers who took them and managed not to lose anyone, and especially to Mr. Branch who made it happen! School Sailing Regatta On the 28th of June 7 pupils at Hadleigh High competed in the school sailing regatta at Alton Water. This is the second year the school has competed in the event, and this year saw a great improvement on a year ago. The weather was favourable for a day sailing, with glorious sunshine and a decent breeze. Over 160 boats took place, a great increase on the previous year, and the biggest turnout in the event’s history. Robert and Andrew Halls, along with Harry Forbes finished comfortably in the top half of the fast fleet, whilst Dominic and Mathew Smith and James Grant also finished in the top half of the slow fleet. Hadleigh’s biggest success came with Alistair Grant, who won the slow fleet after 4 consistently well placed races. Although Alistair was the only Hadleigh competitor to walk away with silverware, the whole team put in a great performance. The team hopes to put in an excellent performance once again next year. Sports Awards Sports Awards’ evening this year was held on Tuesday 10th July and was a sporting success. Many pupils received various awards such as star performer and team awards. Ralph Henderson was the spokesperson for the evening and inspired lots of the pupils to continue with sport. This was the second sports awards evening held by Hadleigh High School and was better than the first. Various pupils thoroughly enjoyed the evening. This is how Lucille O’Dwyer (a Year 9 pupil) found the Sports Awards evening. “I thought Sports Awards evening was an exciting and cheerful event that really showcased the talent we have at this school.”
Another Year 9 pupil, Robert Halls also commented on the Sports Awards evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that it was an excellent opportunity to showcase the talent of the pupils at Hadleigh High School and I really thought that Ralph Henderson was an inspiration to all, not just in a sporting field but in all aspects of life as well.â&#x20AC;? Thank you to all the people that have participated in sport this year. Suffolk Smoke-Free Oscars 2012 During the Spring Term Year 8 pupils made films around the theme of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stop Smokingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as part of their PSHEe drug education programme. The standard was excellent and a number of these were entered into the annual NHS Suffolk Smoke-Free Oscars competition. As a result 16 pupils were invited to the awards ceremony in June at The Council Chamber in Ipswich. There, they enjoyed a buffet reception and met people from the NHS, the local authority, local media organisations and other schools from across Suffolk. By the end of the evening, I am extremely proud to say that our pupils had received three Oscar awards as follows: Best Actress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Amarlia Thomson, Best Actor - Jay Collis, Best Directed film - Milly Lloyd In addition the trophy for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Best Overall Filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; along with a cheque for ÂŁ500 for the school, was won by: Kyle Leeks, Amarlia Thomson, Liara De Banks , Maia Bates, Matt Talman, Milly Lloyd. We interviewed the pupil who won best actress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Amarlia Thomson. This is what she said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought the evening was fun and it was nice to be appreciated for the work and effort we put into it. I won my award because people thought my acting skills were good. It was a big shock to receive my award- I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was going to win, it was really exciting. I learnt a lot from the experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve realised you can work as a team with people you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked with before, yet get a good result out of. I thought our video made an impact because there were lots of facts and the music choice worked well.â&#x20AC;? A huge well done to all pupils involved for their creative and technical expertise, as well as their determination to raise awareness of the risks and consequences of smoking. Mrs Thomas HHS Prom 2012 On Friday 13th July the 2012 year 11 prom took place at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All manor of eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Henley. It was an evening to remember. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what some of the guests thought of it. Miss Rowland: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disco was definitely the best part and it was great to see all the pupils dressed up so smartly.â&#x20AC;? Misha Dewes, Year 11, said that she thought â&#x20AC;&#x153;The venue was very pretty and the dance floor was great with all the special effects.â&#x20AC;? Younger pupils in the school are also anticipating their prom after hearing about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful prom. Alanah Barton a Year 9 pupil said she was really looking forward to prom because she thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to end the year and it looks like everyone has a great evening. Mr Browneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite part was seeing everyone arrive in the unique styles of transport, he also commented on the delicious food. It sounds like everyone had a great time at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prom and we look forward to seeing the future HHS proms. A Kind Donation Hadleigh High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music department received a generous donation from Mr Espley, a very dedicated Swing band member. He has been part of Swing band since the beginning, and always makes sure he attends rehearsals and concerts. He always supports and encourages our school, and helps the music department as much as he can. The ÂŁ500 he very kindly gave us will be well spent on a brand new drum kit - thank you Mr Espley! Pilgrimage to Bury St Edmunds Year 7 went on a trip to Bury St Edmunds with Mr Davy. When they turned up they said the cathedral looked amazing and the people working there were really kind. Firstly they were told about a Monkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life by a Monk called John. They did several more enjoyable activities before heading home. One year 7 said it was an amazing trip and they would love to go again. St Omer From Monday 24th of June to the following Wednesday, a number of Year 8s were lucky enough to visit St Omer in Northern France. This trip helped students feel more confident in speaking French in a real life situation showing that it is fun and beneficial as well. The trip included such activities as visiting Nausicaa, one of the largest public aquariums in Europe, and making croissants and pain au chocolat in a genuine French bakery, where they also observed how the French baguettes are made every morning! The students would have also have experienced what shopping is like through a market and the shopping center, Auchan. This also allowed them to communicate with shop assistants that speak French as their own language alongside their classmates. They also drove to Belgium to pay their respects to the lost
soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial of Menin Gate, where they witnessed the very emotional Last Post Ceremony that takes place every evening. Le Château d'Ebblinghem is a great facility that has been specially adapted for educational visits. The students stayed here throughout the course of the trip, and were happy to return home after a busy day to a big three course meal and free time, team games and on one night, a disco! Overall, a great experience for everyone who went, and a fun time for students and teachers alike. Good Luck, Goodbye & Welcome We would like to bid a farewell to many of our staff here at Hadleigh High School and we wish them all the best of luck for the future. Miss Blakeman (Health and Social Care), Mr Moore (Maths), Mrs Taylor (Subject Team Leader for Art) and Mrs Watkins (Maths) will be retiring. Mr Tunaley (Subject Leader of PE) will also be leaving us following his well deserved promotion to Assistant Head teacher at Farlingaye High School.

Could you be a Foster Carer? Fostering is a way of offering children and young people a home while their own family, for a whole variety of reasons, is unable to look after them. New foster families are needed as more and more children are coming into care. Eastern Family Services (East Bergholt based independent fostering agency) are looking for people from all backgrounds to become foster carers. We list below some of the most frequently asked questions about fostering and ask whether you would be interested in becoming a foster carer - the rewards for bringing a positive change to a troubled young life are truly unique. Do I have what it takes to become a foster parent? If you are a caring person, with common sense, who does not readily give up once making a commitment, then you are on the right trackâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Śand a good sense of humour helps too! Life has not always gone smoothly for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is this a problem? No. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have had a perfect life (who has!). We are looking for people with a broad range of experience from all walks of life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but what is important is that you are able to positively use your life experience to help support a child or young person. Do I need to own my own house? No. We know it is difficult to get onto the property ladder. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to be in rented accommodation, as long as the tenancy is secure. Do I need a spare bedroom? Yes, every child fostered must have his or her own room. Do I need to be a parent already? No, but some experience of children is essential. Although being a parent already gives a great insight into the needs of children, there are many excellent foster carers who have not been parents before. Am I too young / too old? You do have to be at least 21 years old, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about an upper age limit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being in good health and having the ability to relate well to children is what counts. Can I still be employed? Yes. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to give up your job, as long as you can make sure you are available for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings and foster carer training events. Would I be paid for fostering a child? Yes, Eastern Family Services will pay you an allowance for each individual child you are fostering. If you are interested in finding out more about fostering, please give us a call on 01206 299775 or contact us through our website www.easternfamilyservices.com. We are always more than happy to answer any questions you might have and help you think about whether fostering is right for you and your family - there is never any obligation to go ahead if you are unsure and we will never pressure you to make a decision that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right for you. Do be assured though, if you do become a foster carer, you will find it is an incredible journey - hard work but very worthwhile!

Come EAAA-T With Me and support your local air ambulance What are you doing between 24 and 30 September? Why not support your local air ambulance and make a difference to the community you live in, especially during National Air Ambulance Week. Every penny really goes a long way in helping to save lives. National Air Ambulance Week is a week of action devised by members of the Association of Air Ambulances (AAA), the organisation which unites not only air ambulance charities from across the country, but also aircraft operators and ambulance services; giving a national voice to a local service. Tim Page, Chief Executive of the East Anglian Air Ambulance said: “We’re joining together with other local air ambulances across the country, to ask everyone to get involved during National Air Ambulance Week and help raise money for their local service.” “The East Anglian Air Ambulance is looking for supporters to host their own Come EAAA-T With Me evening. The idea is simple. We’d love people to say they’ll hold a dinner party for us and then ask their friends to donate the amount they would have paid for that meal if they’d have gone out to eat in a restaurant. “We believe fundraising should be fun and an event like this is easy to organise and takes very little pre planning, unless of course you want to. We can also help with ideas for themes, menu options and invitations for the evening. However you decide to host your evening, rest assured that all monies raised will stay in the local area, helping to keep your local air ambulance flying.” To find out more about the latest fundraising initiative from the East Anglian Ait Ambulance or to request your Come EAAA-T With Me fundraising pack contact Helen Dodman on 01473 745007 or email helen.dodman@eaaa.org.uk

Pause for Thought Change is Here to Stay! In these uncertain times one certainty is that nothing will stay the same. I remember confidently predicting that the Berlin Wall would not come down in my lifetime, how wrong was I! And how the face of Europe has changed since! Closer to home, there are few people now who will retire from the job they started when they left school, with many people having more than one career change. People who thought their job was safe are finding themselves facing unemployment. It is easy to worry in times like these, but Jesus said 'Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life'. But will nothing stay the same? The Bible says 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever'. Trust in Him for a certain future. Lorna Todd www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

The Station on The Hill by Jeff Ward - the last Stationmaster My appointment as stationmaster at Hadleigh took effect from 30th Dec. 1959, when I was aged 25. It came to a regretful end when the station closed five years later on 19th April 1965. It was one of the happiest periods of my working career. Having been born at Layham but moving away to West Norfolk at an early age. It was like coming home. There were and still are relatives of mine in the area and I’d spent many holidays there during my school days. So no problems fitting in. Hadleigh station at that time dealt with a wide range of agricultural products and fertilisers, stores and ammunitions for the military depots, carpets, plants and shrubs from local nurseries and the staple for many stations coal and coke. Additionally there were stores of animal feedstuffs and agricultural chemicals which we administered and issued stock from. As a sideline we still sold passenger tickets for local people joining trains at Ipswich or Colchester. There was only one train a day arriving about 1130 am having called at Bentley, Capel St. Mary and Raydon Wood stations. Returning to Ipswich at 4.45 pm. The stationmaster at Hadleigh was also i/c Raydon Wood, although later on when the stationmaster at Bentley retired I became responsible for the entire branch including Bentley. The staff who made me welcome and who nearly all remained to the end were ;- Ron Double checker, Charlie Barber - goods delivery vehicle driver, James Clarke - shunter, and Harold Segger - goods porter. For the first year or so there was a clerk, Malcolm Raworth, but it was deemed that we could manage without him and he was transferred to Ipswich. It was a joy to work at a small country station; you turned your hand to just about everything and the atmosphere was relaxed and informal. No wonder many country station masters stayed in the same job for most of their lives. At Christmas there where the christmas boxes!! A 20lb Jeff Ward the Stationmaster turkey went a long way for a with Ron Double young couple with two small children. I seem to remember we buried the remains in the garden. No freezers in those days. For most of my time at Hadleigh, as there was no station house we lived in a rented cottage at Bottlebridge, Great Wenham, where the garden ran down to the railway,. So it wasn’t unusual for the train to make informal stops to make deliveries to the Ward establishment. The shunting arrangements at the station were unusual.It was the end of the line and there was no track layout to enable the engine to “run round” the train,so that it could shunt the wagons into the various sidings and be
at the front of the train for the return journey to Ipswich. Therefore advantage was taken of the fact that the track ran downhill into the station. The train was halted outside the station the engine was detached and moved into a short shunting spur. The train was held stationary by the guard applying the brake in the guards van. when the engine was out of the way the guard released the brake and the train rolled down the slope into the platform and was stopped by the guard applying his brake. The engine could the follow the train into the station and be at the correct end for the return journey. Its not my intention to go into the history of the station and branch line. This has been well documented elsewhere, other than to say that it opened in 1847 and as I later discovered much to my surprise the first stationmaster was a certain Henry James Ward aged 24. No relation as far as I can discover. His father was a John Ward master baker and confectioner with premises at Cornhill Ipswich. This prompted me to try to put together a list of all the stationmasters who served at Hadleigh. These are as follows. 1847 to c1856 H. J. Ward, lodged at White Lion Hotel. Resigned when his salary was reduced as a cost cutting measure. In 1861 he was a photographic artist at Torquay and after that either a publican or a billiard room proprietor at various locations. He never married. c1856 to 1860 Mr Johnson, he died in service Jan 1860. 1860 to 1871? Alfred Dale, at June 1868 his salary was £90 pa. 1871 to 1876 George Weston 1876 to 1892 ??????? 1892 to 1896 James Baker 1896 to 1918? Edwin George Heard, I am aware that Simon Dewes in his book A Suffolk Childhood spells it Hurd but this is the official version. 1918? to Nov 1921 Sydney Walter Westwood 1921 to July 1922 Thomas Cartwright 1922 to 18-10-1930 Mr. A. Fryatt 1930 to 30-9-1947 Joseph Marriot. 1947 to ? Norman Ellis ? to 1959 Ronald Calver. 1959 to 1965 Jeff Ward. There is a gap between 1876 and 1892 and some of the dates are suspect, so if anyone could supply me with the missing names or improve on the dates I’d be most grateful. After the station closed I remained with the railway moving initially to a clerical post at Liverpool St. Taking early retirement just before privatisation. My final appointment was as Employee Relations Officer for B.R.H.Q. staff. I now live at Colchester. Jeff Ward
The last train from Hadleigh - which ran on Thursday 15th April 1965. Ironically the locomotive being used that week was well painted and polished as the previous week it had been used to haul a royal train! 34

Hadleigh REME Detachment Hello my name is Sgt Dale Mason and I am the new Detachment Commander at Hadleigh REME. I took over in May this year due to the existing Detachment Commander's work commitments he was unable to continue running the detachment now that he no longer lives in Hadleigh. On my first drill night I had 2 cadets attend...not a good start! I thought however this is the first night persevere - and steadily the word has gotten around that the detachment is still open and we're now parading 14 cadets. We have had a busy June in addition to the normal parade nights training every Thursday we've been busy helping set out the tables and chairs for the Jubilee celebrations on the high street where we also managed to raise £180 for Help for Heroes. Eight cadets also too part in Exercise Big Gun in Norfolk over the weekend of the 30th June where they shot various weapon's such as the new cadet air rifle, No.8 .22 rifle, L98A2 Cadet GP rifle, archery and shotgun shooting. We are now preparing to attend our annual camp at Strensall Camp in North Yorkshire for 10 days in August. Here cadets will take part in numerous challenging activities such as battle exercises, adventure training, rock climbing, canoeing, paintball, shooting, Duke of Edinburgh expedition across the Yorkshire Dales national park to name only a few of the activities involved (not bad for £90 all in!!). We are also as a detachment visiting Duxford Imperial War Museum in July and Wattisham Airfield where the Cadets will meet their Affiliated parent unit 7 Bttn REME. They will be shown around the Apache helicopters based there and will have a chance to meet some of the pilots and crews who maintain them (you never know it might be Prince Harry?) When we get back from camp we start recruiting again at the end of august so if you have children between 12 (must be year 8) and 18 years old and you'd like them to take part in rewarding, exciting and challenging pastime (rather than sit on the x-box all day) then send them down! We parade every Thursday 1900-2130hrs at Cadet Drill Hall, George Street, Hadleigh and would be more than happy to give them a shot to see if they've got what it takes to be an Army Cadet in Hadleigh REME.

Local Accountant does Orwell Walk for colleague Clive Wilkins, from Haines Watts accountants Hadleigh, raised a fantastic £303.25 for Muscular Dystrophy doing the Orwell Walk on Sunday. The charity is very close to his heart, as his business partner Trevor McLeese has the disease, so he did the walk in his honour. "This is not the first time I have done the Orwell Walk but this time it's more personal," said Clive. "Trevor has managed to work and be a successful businessman over the last 20 years, despite the challenges he faces everyday and this is for him." Muscular Dystrophy has been chosen as this years Haines Watts East Anglia nominated charity. So far over £1000 has been raised through a variety of events, with more to come later in the year. "The money I raised for the Orwell Walk has come partly from my fellow partners at Haines Watts but the bulk is from clients who have been very generous."

Sell out theatre in Lindsey June saw a first for Lindsey Village Hall when the Medusa Theatre Company from Derbyshire put on their most recent production 'Our Bench'. Written specifically for performance in Village Halls the play introduced us to two characters Tom and Evelyn, energetically played by Liam Atton and Fiona Waite, who meet at the age of nine during wartime Britain on a park bench. Their friendship and ultimately love survives the forthcoming decades and we were treated to snippets of their lives as they re-visit their 'Bench' over their lifetime. The audience were transported through laughter, tears and back again as the characters helped by small costume changes grew in age and complexity as life dealt them both joy and challenges. Written and directed by Robert Scott with well crafted dialogue and a fast pace we saw the characters move from sprightly boisterous children, through the uncomfortable feelings of teenage hood, middle age and the aches and pains of later life. With size appropriate scenery and a small cast this production was well designed for a Village Hall setting, the crew were touring for a four week period taking in all corners of the UK. For Lindsey it was a 'sell-out' evening with ice-creams in the interval and the offer of pre-theatre drinks in The Rose beforehand. It would be great to welcome them back with a new offering next year. Belinda White

FRIDAY 24th AUGUST at 7.30pm
INVICTUS (12A) £3.50 HAPPY 94TH BIRTHDAY NELSON MANDELA ! On 18th July the world celebrated the 94th birthday of Nelson Mandela. Our August film INVICTUS is a true story set during the life of this great statesman. Following his release from prison in February 1990 his election to President of South Africa marked a radical change to this country - particularly towards the history of apartheid. Mandela's love of sport, especially rugby and the Springboks was further fuelled by South Africa hosting the 1995 Rugby World Tour. This was at a time when South Africa had been sidelined from world competition for so many years. With this background Mandela set about the uphill task of winning the World Cup by obtaining the support of the Springbok's captain Francois Pienaar. Our film has claims to be the most rousing movie about sport since CHARIOTS OF FIRE. Directed by Clint Eastwood, INVICTUS delivers a film with stately precision supported by a cast that feels it has roots in South Africa. Morgan Freeman is Nelson Mandela, Matt Damon Francois Pienaar and Tony Kgoroge plays Jason Tshabalaa all combining to bring you a deeply emotional film committed to its belief of drawing people together - plus a fine piece of true storytelling. INVICTUS starts at 7.30pm, admission is £3.50 for adults and with a 12A certificate accompanied children are welcome at £2.50. Our popular refreshments will be available at an appropriate interval in the film. Enjoy this rather special film! Coming soon: “THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL”, “WAR HORSE” AND “THE IRON LADY”

News from St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Primary School The summer term is always very busy and it is really flying by! Well done to the children who won our competition to create a design to be painted on the hoardings at the leisure centre building site. The winning design was painted by the winners and some of their friends and reflects how inspired the children are by the Olympics, which has been the theme for much of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning this term. Thank you to Colin and Richard at the site for their help. Once again, we have received lots of visitors to lead Worship for us. Thanks to Pastor Greg Frost, Reverend Jim Dalgleish, Jackie Cork and Ian Copeman. They have helped the children to think about the theme of Justice. The children have listened to Bible stories and considered how the theme relates to their everyday lives and the world around them. Also, we were very pleased to welcome the Very Reverend Martin Thrower into school for a whole day. Martin visited children from younger classes throughout the morning, working with the children on the idea of service and Maundy Thursday. In the afternoon, he worked with two groups of able pupils from years 4, 5 and 6. They engaged in deeper, philosophical discussions, in which the children made really thoughtful contributions. In addition, the children helped to review and change the Friday cafĂŠ service, which is often attended by the children from St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This was a lovely day and we hope Martin enjoyed it as much as the children!

Thanks to Miss Woulfe for organising a terrific sports week in celebration of the Olympics. The week began with an opening ceremony, which included a parade of flags, poetry and dancing. Throughout the week, children participated in Olympic activities in class and lots of sporting opportunities. The highlights of the week were learning the shot putt with Rosemary Aldous and fencing with Stuart Clough. It was great for the children to experience sports they do not usually have the chance to participate in. In particular, the fencing really captured the interest of children throughout the school. They loved wearing the helmets and using all the proper equipment. We want to say a big thank you to all our visitors during sports week. Thankfully, the weather was warm and dry for Sports Day. Children throughout the school took part in a variety of field events, including the long jump, throwing events, a penalty shoot out and an obstacle course. Also, they competed well in several races, such as sprinting, egg and spoon and skipping. All the children performed well ad encouraged one another. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning team was the Red Team although it was very close in the end! Thanks to all the parents who came along to support the children. The children in Key Stage 1 have had the opportunity to visit the gym at Pipers Vale twice recently. On the first occasion, they were able to try out all the equipment and participate in gymnastic activities. Towards the end of term, the children visited again to watch the Brazilian Olympic Gymnastics team training. The children were fascinated, looking out for particular movements and sketching the action. Furthermore, the children got the chance to hold the Olympic torch and meet someone who had carried the torch on its journey through Ipswich. It was a day theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget! The children in Willow class had a fun-filled day when they visited London this month! They were very excited to spend the day in the city seeing the sights. In particular, they enjoyed visiting the Science Museum to study materials and watching the Imax film about wildlife. Also, the children walked along the Southbank, studying the bridges over the Thames and sketching the London skyline. All in all, the children had a great day and were excellent representatives of the school.

Finally, congratulations to all the Key Stage 2 children who took part in our summer production, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Reach For the Skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The script was based around this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s London Olympics and involved the members of the organising committee reminiscing about sport during their school days. It was a really amusing performance with some great acting and lovely singing. Indeed, those catchy songs will be in our heads for a long time to come! The underlying theme of the play is a vitally important one for the children: life involves many challenges but we should face them with our heads held high and, each day, we should aspire to be that best we can be. It was a marvellous performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well done! Special thanks to the Key Stage 2 staff members, who organised a terrific show once again! After each performance, we raised money for Christian Aid. In total, we raised more than ÂŁ230 and donated a further ÂŁ20 to the charity, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which supports young people and their families. We wish everybody a safe and happy summer holiday. See you all again in September!
Cancer Awareness Are you a Group of people who meet regularly? Have you got a date where you haven't got a speaker? Would you like a talk on cancer awareness? Anglia Cancer Network Be Clear on Cancer are running a campaign to spread the message that early signs and symptoms of cancer is a vital part of getting access to treatment early. A group of 'ordinary' people leading ordinary lives who have either had the diagnosis or who have had someone close to them who has been affected, have been appointed to carry this message forward into the local community. More and more people are surviving cancer and more and more will survive if only they realise they MAY have symptoms that need investigating. Don't we all sometimes tend to bury out head in the sand. Hand on heart don't we all think 'It won't happen to me' but unfortunately, sometimes it does ! This is all about AWARENESS and this is about SURVIVAL. Recognise the possible symptoms, get an early diagnosis, if it means treatment, the earlier the better! Persistent cough that won't go away? Difficulty swallowing? Unexplained pain? Constant bloating? Fatigue? Lump? Mole that has changed colour or shape? - get it checked. Take advantage of the screenings (aren't we lucky to have these). Don't ignore that nagging little worry at the back of your mind that something isn't quite right but if you wait long enough it may disappear (because it may not and valuable time will be lost!). Cancer can be a frightening word - but it doesn't always have to be. Survival rates on early diagnosis are increasing at a rapid rate. There are people out there who are living proof of that! If you would like me to come and talk to you - please contact me - Marion on 01473 829972 or email: mariondonovan@talk21.com. It will not be a medical talk - but it may just help to make a difference to someone out there. REMEMBER THE MESSAGE AWARENESS AND EARLY DIAGNOSIS!

As I said last month I believe that most people will not like Windows 8. There is a consequence of this which is my subject this month. Official support of Windows XP ends in 2014. In reality all that is happening at the moment is security fixes. When these stop in April 2014 it will not be safe to use XP on an Internet connected computer and certainly not if you run a small business. If anyone is out there running an operating system older than XP all I can say is: why? It is getting harder and harder to justify fixing a computer running XP because the computer will be pretty old and slow and the time it takes to do anything will be long and thus expensive. A client of mine has a computer that through no fault of their own, Microsoft claims has pirated software. How it happened is not the issue. It is the cost of doing anything about it that is the problem. To resolve the licensing issue with Microsoft will cost around £100. The computer is several years old but still reasonably fast although because of its age it could go wrong at any time. It also has a no longer supported version of Microsoft Office. All in all it will probably cost as much to fix all of the problems as a new fast Windows 7 machine. I really don’t like junking working hardware but I am coming to the conclusion that this may be best for all concerned. So unless you are flat broke I suggest that you strongly consider upgrading your old computers before you get forced to use Windows 8. For what it is worth I have just been reading about Office 2013. It looks as if this has had the same user interface “makeover” as Windows 8. By which I mean that it looks just as horrible. Contact Nick 0800 781 3744 or 07790 842 968 Email: nick@kotarski.co.uk

Hadleigh & District Garden Club The Clubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Summer Members Evening, was, in a year not renowned for good weather, remarkably lucky as it was fine enough for folk to enjoy their visit to Ann Munsons award winning garden in Lower Layham. The garden is on a fairly steep slope, Ann has worked her magic on it and made it a plantsmans paradise, this was enjoyed prior to returning to Hadleigh for supper at my place, where it was still clement enough for hardy types to spendsome time outside before eating. It really was lovely to see members enjoying a good chat and supper despite one of my dogs disgracing itself by knocking over a drink and doing a quick dash through the pond and showering everyone with water! Humble apologies, I promise to keep him shut up in future (I must say in his defence, that he had a deprived youth and tries to make up for lost puppyhood with unlimited exuberance in what he regards as paradise!!). I would like to thank Hadleigh Flower Club for taking some of us on their outing to Hampton Court Palace Flower Show and choosing marvellous weather to do it - the next day was torrential rain! There is an outing to Lucy Redmans Garden at Rushbrooke on Monday 20th August, otherwise see you on Monday 10th September in the Town Hall dining room - enjoy the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summerâ&#x20AC;??!!

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts With the weather that we are having this year one begins to wonder what is the point of having a garden. To me the big attraction normally is being able to get out and relax and enjoy the plants and vegetables that you have grown, but it is now over a month since my wife and I enjoyed breakfast, or lunch in the garden. It is at times like this that I am glad that I have a greenhouse, where I have a bit more control over the environment. Some people would regard some of the plants that I grow in the greenhouse as totally crazy. There is a family of plants called Gesneriaceae which is distinguished by almost all its members having beautiful flowers, and tiny seeds. Sadly there are only couple of members of this family that have any chance of surviving outdoors in East Anglia, and I have tried and failed to keep them. However one can grow quite a lot of them in the house, or in a greenhouse. Two members of the family, the African Violet, and the Streptocarpus are widely available as house plants either in garden centres, or online from growers like Dibley Nurseries (www.dibleys.com) who also sell a selection of the other plants in this family. The other way of getting these plants is to grow them from the dust like seed, that one can buy from places like Chiltern Seeds. (www.chilternseeds.co.uk). The difficulty is in handling these tiny seeds. The technique that I use is to scatter the dust on a piece of filter paper wetted with boiled water in a container with a clear lid placed on a window sill, but out of direct sun light. You then wait patiently for the seeds to germinate, remembering to keep the paper damp. This year I sowed chirta hamosa, and sinningia sellovii on March 13th. They showed signs of germination at the beginning of July, and were pricked out using a cocktail stick on July 14th. I now wait to see how they grow on. I can not find any pictures of chirta hamosa on the internet, so that is going to be very interesting. The picture this month is sinningia leucotricha or the Brazillian Edelweiss. This was grown from seed many years ago and now has a tuber 8" in diameter. Reverting to the weather, a friend recently challenged the fact that I use 50 mm or 2" as the average monthly rainfall for Hadleigh. He suggested I ought to use a different figure for each month, so I went back to the data that I have to see if taking an overall average was reasonable. Taking figures from 1938 to 1986 the driest month was April with 39 mm, and the wettest month was November with 63 mm. Using 1998 to 2011 the driest month was April with 39 mm and the wettest month was October with 66 mm. With this small range I think that using 50 mm for discussing gardening is good enough. Open Gardens August 2-5 Tudor Roost, 18 Frere Way Fingringhoe CO5 7BP August 4-5 447 Main Road Dovercourt CO12 4HB August 7 Woodwards, Blacksmiths Lane, Coddenham IP6 9TX August 19 Woodwards, Blacksmiths Lane, Coddenham IP6 9TX Weather Records In June at Kersey there were 82.1 mm (3.2") of rain. This is 1.6 times our average monthly rainfall. This rainfall brought the 3 month figure up to 242.6 mm. (9.6") which is 1.6 times the average rainfall. In May the maximum temperature was 27 Cel (81F). The minimum was 6 Cel (43F), both of which are typical for the month. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 16 Cel (61F). Hints With all of the rain, and lack of sunshine a lot of plants have grown like mad, but are late flowering. The general rule for pruning shrubs that need pruning is to prune them after they have finished flowering. This year I am going to be doing a lot of the pruning that I would have expected to do in July in August, partly because of late flowering, and partly because I do not find pruning in the rain enjoyable. August is a good time to take cutting if you need to increase your stock. This applies to lavender, penstemon, dianthus, and many others. Think what plants you need and then check a book or the internet. It is also the right time to sow Spring cabbage like "April" or "Early Queen", and Winter Radish. Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

Dear Sir
Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
Dear Sir To all that use the junction of Angel Street / Long Bessels. Vehicles are being abandoned haphazardly in the vicinity of St. Joseph’s Church, Crumbs Bakery and Jump Start / Molly’s. There is very little consideration for other road users and pedestrians, let alone any emergency vehicles that may need access into Long Bessels or Joseph’s Close. One driver even confronted me and wanted to know why “I gave them a funny look”, and “what my problem was”, Duh! Your inability of parking in a responsible and legal manner! This is not quantum physics or some complex mathematical problem, just plain, good old fashion common sense, and a little consideration of others. If in doubt of your parking responsibilities try reading the Highway Code or if that proves too difficult or complicated, you could always ask a traffic warden, or your local police constable,, I’m sure either would be happy to point out the error of your ways! Mr. Angry

I wonder if there are any readers who like myself would be very sad to see the Morrisons/Buyrite site chop down the Horse Chestnut trees in the car park. They are such magnificent trees and have stood there for ages, it would be very sad if as planned in the expansion of Morrisons car park they are to be chopped down. Below are just a few of the good things that trees provide to the environment. Trees are incredibly important in urban environments, where 80% of the UK population lives and pollution is high. Trees improve air quality by releasing oxygen, absorbing many harmful air pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide and ozone, and intercepting harmful particles from smoke and dust. Therefore alleviating chronic respiratory disease, prevalent in urban locations. Urban areas also store heat in buildings, roads and other hard surfaces, in London there can be a 10°C difference between the centre and surrounding suburbs. Trees provide shade and, through transpiration, one mature tree in a day can provide the cooling effect of five roomsized air conditioners left on for 19 hours. If any readers are of a like mind would they please write to the council and see if we can save these trees from being eliminated. Mrs Wilson
Dear Sir The organisers of Brantham Mega Charity Garage Sale, Yvonne and Ronnie, are very grateful for all the support they received from your readers. It was another outstanding success with shoppers coming from far and wide. There were nearly 100 garages and table tops selling and many garagers have said it was their best year ever. Consequently they have given generously towards the Charity Funds and although it takes a time for all the money to come in it is currently heading towards £4,000. As always half will be given to St Elizabeth Hospice (Carla Dawson Tribute Fund) and donations will be made to EACH Treehouse Fund, Brantham Scouts & Guides and CoppaFeel (breast cancer awareness for ages 1830) supporting Catherine Smith. Yvonne and Ronnie are very grateful to everyone in Brantham and surrounding areas who gave such amazing support prior to the event helping with publicity, donations of good quality items to sell, tombola prizes all donated and helping on the day. Very many thanks for your help Julie Revell

Family Tree Research : Rose Lillian Grimwood I am trying to trace my grandmother Rose Lillian Grimwood who could have lived at 35 Angel Street, Hadleigh in 1909. My mother Violet Christina Grimwood was born at this address on February 14th 1909. I sent away for my mother’s birth certficate and saw that the father was unknown. The only thing I know is that at the age of six weeks my mother was ‘adopted’ by George Ernest and Rose Skippings. They had two children of their own that I know about, Elsie Mary and George Ernest. They lived at Gate Farm Cottages, Elmsett at least in the year 1911 where my mother was recorded as a boarder. I do not have access to a computer so its a slow process, so if anyone has any information I would be extremely grateful. Please call me on 07770 431837 or write to 11 Finkelgate, Norwich NR1 3HF.

Dear Sir It was with some degree of alarm that I read the letter by Kathryn Grandon regarding the proposal to allow a residential/industrial development on land near to Hadleigh High School. What madness would encourage development in an area that has such limited access? Any industrial unit would necessitate a road infrastructure capable of accommodating increased traffic including heavy goods vehicles. Access to this area at present is only possible by coming through the town of Hadleigh itself or by using the narrow lane that links Hadleigh to Hintlesham. Anyone who has ventured along this lane will know that in places it is barely wide enough for two cars let alone large HGVs and even some of the larger vans. Does this mean that even more of our precious countryside will be swallowed up by a new access road linking the development to the A1071, which in itself is becoming increasingly dominated by heavy goods vehicles that thunder along the bypass on a regular basis. I moved to Hadleigh five years ago because it is a small to medium sized RURAL town with character and a very special atmosphere. Let’s keep it that way and support Kathryn and her fellow councillors and fight to oppose those that strive to increasingly urbanise our very special Suffolk town. Robert Giles
Cockfield given Baberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumbs up! Cockfield residents can be very proud of the village they live in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after it scooped Baberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top spot. Entrants to Babergh District Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition were told the results recently with Stoke by Nayland in second place, Stutton in third and Polstead in fourth place. The winner of this round receives the Cosford Trophy, framed certificate and ÂŁ500 towards a community project. District finalists are then entered into the semi-final round, with winners then reaching the final stage with the overall winner receiving ÂŁ1,000, a plaque, a certificate and becoming Suffolk Village of the Year. Jo Beever, Babergh's Community Grants Officer said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babergh is delighted to announce Cockfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in this round of the competitionâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really close contest and left the judges with a very hard decision but this village is a prime example of a community-minded village, that is well looked after and takes pride in itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cockfield thoroughly deserves the district accolade and now its fingers crossed for the county round!â&#x20AC;? "It was a very close run thing, with only two points between the top two spots and 14 marks between the first placed and last placed village. "All the villages made a splendid job of showing the judges around and every community had something that stood out. "Stoke by Nayland and Stutton were first time entries and so did especially well to receive high marks." Baberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judging panel was made up of four district councillors who marked villages on their community spirit, general appearance, how well its parish council is run and the special activities happening in the village.

Beer and Music Festival another success Despite the dull outlook for the weather the mood of everyone at the 4th Annual Beer and Music Festival at Hadleigh Rugby Club was bright. Hundreds of people turned out to enjoy the beer and the music provided by four local bands over the week end of July 6th and 7th. The festival itself is growing each year and is Families and Spectators relaxing with a drink and enjoying the music now considered to be an annual fixture for the Rugby Club. With a selection of 17 beers and 9 _ ciders to choose from everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste was met. An excellent barbecue _ _ _ provided sustenance for revellers and music provided by Roddy and the Rejects and The Ghost Train Porters entertained the large crowds assembled at Layham Road. Many of the local businesses in the town supported the festival with sponsorship for all the beers and ciders. Special thanks must go to Hirebase who once again provided the toilet facilities and lighting and to the Kings Head Cooking up a treat at the festival in Hadleigh the main sponsor.

Warrant Officer Willie (Bill) Banks RAFVR We regret to announce the death on 9th July of Bill Banks at his home on The Row, George Street, Hadleigh. Bill was well-known as one of our Hadleigh Heros, having baled out of his burning Lancaster bomber over Denmark and spending the rest of the war in a German prisoner-of-war camp. In recent years and in failing health, he was daily seen on his silver Virgo disability scooter holding up the traffic in the High Street while his bread was brought out to him from the delicatessen shop. May he rest in peace, he had earned it. Rosemary Schade I cannot claim that I knew Willie ‘Bill’ Banks as an intimate more as a man of a generation that stood up to be counted when it mattered most to their country in it's hour of need. Bill met regularly with other war veterans every Friday lunch time in the British Legion before they went off to lunch together, until the year's finally caught up with them. It was a source of friendly amusement as WW2 was refought and the world generally was put straight. It was my privilege to record Bill's experience's for last October's issue of H.C.N. and his story was recounted with a matter of factness that told much about the man, it was a humbling experience. Bill served in Bomber Command of the R.A.F. and it is only recently that after a long campaign the sacrifice of those men was suitably honoured. In total 55,573 young men in their prime lost their lives and 9,784 went into captivity as prisoners of war of which Bill became one. Bill considered his biggest honour received was to be elected to The Catterpiller Club, which is limited to those whose life had been saved by parachuting from a doomed aircraft, to him his war medals were secondary. In Bill's case this was as a twenty year old flight engineer going head first out of a burning Lancaster at a height in excess of 10,000 feet during a night time operation. He will be missed by his many friends but never forgotten. Fred Breyer
Rotary Review CLUB EVENTS: 1 The annual Club Assembly took place at the end of June and incoming President Glenn Abbassi outlined her programme for the Rotary year 2012/13 including a new initiative to attract new members. Assistant District Governor, Robin Wraight was on hand to provide formal approval of the programme which was endorsed by all members present. 2 On the 1st July outgoing President, Mike Sands held a garden party for all members and partners at his home. Kate, his wife, and the other ladies provided an excellent spread of sandwiches, cakes and strawberries and cream whilst the weather did its bit and remained fine if a little chilly. In a departure from tradition incoming President Glenn was inducted at this event and was warmly received by everyone. We wish her a very successful and enjoyable year of office. SPEAKERS: 1 Phillippa Carruthers, current Hadleigh WI President, spoke about her career which spanned 40 years in the Nursing profession. She started as a nursing auxiliary at Ipswich Hospital but soon moved on to St Albans psychiatric hospital where she also completed a 3 year course in psychiatry and reached the status of Staff nurse. She then changed to general nursing and returned to Suffolk first at St Clements Ipswich followed by St Marys Tattingstone and Chantry both in the position of Nursing Sister. When Chantry closed in 1986 she went full circle back to Ipswich Hospital where she completed her full time career. After this she held a position with the British Nursing Association followed by agency work in occupational health working at various companies including Harris Bacon and Compair Reavell dealing with employees health, general health and safety, noise surveys etc. Finally she became a visiting nurse carrying out medicals at a number of factories including Knights Castille but she is now fully retired. 2 The first meeting in July is usually the Presidential Handover meeting but as already mentioned this was carried out elsewhere so that a Grumpy Old Rotarians Evening took its place. Many subjects were discussed including Telephone cold calls, bad driving, poor broadband reception in some villages and the blatant misuse of donated funds in many 3rd world countries. 3 Mr Alam lectured on Bangladesh. Although spending most of his time between England and Canada now he moved as a young man with his family from India to Bangladesh in 1951. It was then known as East Pakistan and had been partitioned off with West Pakistan in 1947 when India gained Independence mainly to give the Indian Muslims a country of their own. This has not worked well as it resulted in years of conflict between the two countries whilst west and east Pakistan were too far apart tounite easily as one country resulting in E. Pakistan becoming independent as Bangladesh in 1971.The mighty river Brahmaputra flows for 1000 miles through the centre of the land and its massive delta region floods every year often displacing many millions of people. However this produces rich farmland allowing the country to grow most of its own food and has resulted in many large companies setting up food processing plants for export. Bangladesh is also the 3rd largest exporter of clothing to the western world supplying the likes of M&S and Next. Money also flows into the country from the 6 million expats so that it is no longer classed as a poor country. In fact it has become a very stable nation and may in future be a strong influence on the two power blocks of India and China.

Treasurer for St Mary’s Church If you enjoy working with numbers, then this might just be right for you! St Mary’s Church is in urgent need of a treasurer. The main elements of the job are: recording receipts and payments; making payments; servicing fund raising activities; reporting at meetings (about 6 each year). Apart from a love of numbers you will hopefully have experience of using computer spreadsheets and a basic knowledge of book keeping. Someone is available to teach the use of the software accounting package that we use, as well as how to prepare the Annual Statement. Initially this is a volunteer post, but we hope shortly to be able to offer an honorarium. If you have anything from half a day, up to a day per week available, please have a chat with Martin, the dean. Email: martin.thrower@btinternet.com Tel: 01473 822218

Well done David! This Former head up and reluctant breast stroker, David Olive, can now say he is an open water swimmer. After weeks of training at Hadleigh Pool and a setback chest infection of 3 weeks!! David transformed into a head down front crawler. He competed in the Great East swim on fathers day. The event is held at Alton Water and was postponed for 24 hours, for the first time in a four history, due to adverse weather. David swam a mile in open water in a chilly 13.5 degrees in gusts and tides. He broke the hour in a time of 57:10 minutes. He also raised over £400 for the charity Centre Point which helps homeless youngsters, supporting them with housing, learning, health and life skills. Congratulations and well done from Jane, Tom and Ben and all the family and friends who supported and sponsored him. We are very proud of you.

Hadleigh Evening WI At the July meeting of Hadleigh Evenng WI Rick Vonk from the RSPB gave a presentation entitled “Birds of the Stour Estuary”. The species of birds depends on the habitat which included salt and grazing marshes and mud flats that vary with the tides. Rick showed some beautiful pictures of the birds found in the area including curlews, little egrets, dunlin, swans, grey plovers, geese and ducks. A few are ringed so their migration routes and destinations can be traced. Joan Rudman won the competition photograph with a picture of a Falkland Island penguin. Despite the rain members and guests from the Three Valleys Group of WIs enjoyed Hadleigh Evening WI’s annual garden party which was once again held in Ann Porters garden where she has cultivated least eighty different plants. Unfortunately due to the rain there was little time to appreciate them. Ann and her husband Mike had worked hard to erect a marquee and clear their large garage to provide everyone with a place to shelter as they enjoyed a delicious supper accompanied by summer cocktails. Joan Rudman and Carole Cranston organised and ran a raffle and Philippa Carruthers provided some fun with a quiz. There will be no meeting in August however Elizabeth Cage has invited everyone to afternoon tea at her home on the 9th. Weather permitting for the more active members this will be preceded by a ramble round Layham. The next meeting will be on 18th September in the Seminar suite above the library starting 7.30pm. Linda Scoles will invite us to “Name that Tune”. Visitors and new members are welcome Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

Hadleigh Cricket Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group Between the deluges it has been a very good season for all our senior teams so far. The 1st team are well placed for a promotion challenge in the last third of the season, after only losing one match, to leaders Witham. Marlon Dias and Tom Piddington have been in fine form with the bat, while new boy Kyle Tanner has been leading the attack with considerable pace and venom. The most remarkable match was at Abberton, where the home side were dismissed for just 46, with Kalpesh Ellis taking six wickets (including a hat-trick) in a matter of minutes and finishing with incredible figures of 5-2-8-6. The Seconds have fared even better, leading a tightly packed Division 4. Bloss Tampion has done exceptionally well moulding a new team and striking a good balance of youth and experience. Some grounds haven’t been big enough for the likes of Nadie Abdul and Nik Ellis, while Daves Hinsley and Bird continue to defy their dotage with some miserly spells. Sam Handley enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the end of June with twelve wickets and two undefeated scores of 60+. He was all set to be Suffolk Free Press player of the week until it emerged that Sudbury’s overseas star had scored 169 and 106 on the same days! When they have been able to play the Academy XI have been involved in some interesting games, ranging from a 1-wicket win when only chasing 52 to a hugely impressive two-wicket victory over a very strong Acton side. 14-year old Sam Renshaw also deserves a mention for a remarkable 99 not out at Mellis in May, when he batted throughout the Hadleigh innings. The feel-good factor around the club this year was on display at the club’s ‘Midsummer Music Madness’ weekend. It was great to see the pavilion packed for our first ever beer festival on the Saturday night. The 1st XI and their opponents Woodbridge drank deeply from the Moonshine, as well as several other local brews. We are very grateful to Steve and Tanita from the Queens Head, Lower Layham who supplied the beers for the weekend. Sunday saw the music day and five bands played in typical festival weather. Organisers Buster Tampion and Simon Gladwell can be proud of their efforts and attention now turns to the end of season dinner at Vauxhall Farm, for which tickets are selling fast. Coming up on August 7th we have the official opening of our new artificial wicket, when we host a team from BBC Radio Suffolk, who will hopefully be including several well-known local broadcasting names in their line-up. Plus a special guest star from the cricket world could be dropping in at the Meadow. Farmer

Poets Corner How Beautiful How beautiful, the sunlight, after the rain. Sparkling on the droplet upon my windowpane. Blooms turning up their heads, embracing the warming rays. Birdsong fills the air, on this enchanting day. A cat stretches out, paws in the air. Laying upon the grass, without a care. Buzzing of a busy bee, as from flower to flower he goes. Then off and away into the sky to a hive wherever, who knows. How beautiful life is, on this brand new day. With a smile and a light heart, I will go on my way.

Ekiden Relay - Sunday 15th July The sun finally came out on Sunday at St Joseph’s College as 30 Hares had fun at the Ekiden Relay. The annual event, based in Ipswich, attracted 114 teams from running clubs and businesses spread throughout East Anglia. Each six man team had to run a total of 42.2km, the equivalent of a marathon, split into 10km, 7.2km and 5km legs. After weeks of taunts between runners and triathletes, the day finally arrived to see who truly was the best. Three running teams and two triathlete teams took to the field at 10am, beginning with single 7.2km leg. Hadleigh Hares A team, who eventually finished overall in an excellent 5th position, had a great start when David Willer came 10th in his 7.2km leg with a time of 27:23.9. The team were boosted with a strong roster of runners, including the three-teen combo of Willer, Cowley and Rankin, plus the older guard of Blacoe, Scaife and Catalan. John Scaife’s time of 36:01 for the first 10km leg saw him finish in 5th place. The overall winners of the event, Ipswich Jaffa A, were only 15 minutes in front of the top Hares team. Second placed Hares team was the Tri 2 group who finished in an overall strong position of 25th. The consistent team saw all six runners finish within 14 places of each other in their own respective races. The other three teams all finished in decent positions of 62nd, 64th and 69th. Race4Business - Chelmsford Wincer Kievenaar Architects running team made up of Hadleigh Hares, Mat Blacoe, John Scaife, James Rush and Mark Russell successfully retained the Fastest Team award at the annual Race4Business event in Chelmsford in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. The Hadleigh-based architectural practice took on some of the region's largest employers with more than 800 runners completing the 3.5 mile course. Three of the Hares finished in the top 10 to comfortably take the 2012 title. Gosfield Park Olympic Triathlon 2012 - 8th July Doug Grimwade, Richard Hanley, Steve Bowen and Nick Salway took part in a very wet Gosfield Olympic Triathlon on Sunday 8th July. The race comprised a 1500m swim in the murky waters of Gosfield Lake, a 2-lap 40k ride around the drenched roads surrounding the lake and a slightly shortened 9.2km cross country run (shortened due to a pond bursting its banks). It was obviously going to be a bad day for punctures on the road and Grimwade foolishly opted to save weight and ride without a repair kit and spare tyre - schoolboy error. Hanley was hoping to consolidate on his good performances so far this season, Salway was racing only his second Olympic distance race in 5 years, Bowen was looking to win his age group again and Grimwade was quietly confident that this time, finally, he would pip Hanley and be the first Hare home. Hanley had very good swim and Grimwade's was better than normal, both exiting the water in 24:02 and 25:27 respectively, followed by Salway and Bowen, neck and neck with only 22 seconds between them. Onto the bikes and Grimwade was off like a rocket, determined not to led Hanley build on his lead. Then disaster struck and the inevitable happened - Grimwade punctured towards the end of the first lap and without a spare tyre, had to abandon the race. Hanley ploughed on and excellent bike and run legs saw him finish in 2:11:23 in a magnificent 5th place overall. Salway managed to put some distance between himeself and Bowen and finished in 2:30:11 in 33rd place, whilst Bowen finished in 45th place in 2:35:19. Grimwade spent the remainder of the race watching Salway dance around in T2 with some very amusing calf cramps and muttering incoherently that 'I could have had Hanley this time, I really could'. Distances: 1500m swim / 40km bike / 9.2km run, Finishers: 87
Friday Five - 6th July Well, it was certainly warm, and it was certainly flat, and the final event in this year’s Friday 5 series brought out a large contingent of Hares to race around the lanes of Great Bentley. Before the main event, as usual, was the junior race. Elizabeth Stewart was the only Hare in the race this time, running well and finishing the one mile course in just 8:11. Elizabeth was 3rd girl U12 in 08:11 - only 22 seconds difference from 1st girl! In the main event there was an excellent turnout of 14 Hares. The flat and fast course produced at least one PB for Corinna Hussey who finished 8th in her age group, and some good times for the rest of the team. First back was David Willer in 30:38, 3rd in age group, closely followed by Adam Johnson and Toby Rankin who were 5th and 6th respectively in their age groups.
Peter and Joyce Ryder Memorial Day at the Bowling Club On Sunday 8 July over 100 members of Hadleigh Bowling Club, The Ryder Family and friends including members of the Cricket Club came together at the Stone Street club to remember Peter and Joyce Ryder who were members of both clubs for many years. The Bowling Club’s Chairman, Audrey Nelson open proceedings by welcoming the Ryder Family and friends who had traveled from far and wide to join in this celebration. The weather improved bang on time to allow the mixed teams to get down to the bowling at 2 p.m. and although the levels of ability varied considerably everyone enjoyed themselves. There was a break for tea and cakes provided by the family before teams were reshuffled for the second session which, in particular, saw the reforming of the old Fours team of the late 70’s and early 80’s of Bob Fletcher, Dick Beechener, Keith and Neil Hills who represented the Club with distinction at county level. It was particularly pleasing to also see the young members of the extended Ryder family getting on the green and having a go. Following the bowling the family presented a memorial bench to the club dedicated to the memory of Peter and Joyce. In turn our President, Percy Fletcher then shared his personal memories of his old friends before inviting everyone to enjoy a BBQ prepared by club members. The atmosphere of the day reflected the respect and affection that Peter and Joyce were held in by family and friends alike and the occasion was such a success that it may just be that we will do it all again next year.

Hadleigh Tennis Club News Ladies’ Doubles Champions 2012 Sunday the 17th June saw the Hadleigh Tennis Club ladies put on a fine show as they competed in the Ladies’ Doubles tournament. After some close fought early sets, the final was contested between Debra Young and Kate White Vs Eunice Scott and Jill Wilson. The well fought final was finally won by Debra and Kate who now have the Title for 2012. Well done to all the ladies who took part, in what proved to be difficult windy conditions. July 1st saw the members and guests enjoying one of those rare sunny days, as we staged the annual Bar-B-Q. This was a wellattended event, with good food and party games. We are still struggling with the weather with regard to our Ipswich league matches, with many matches having to be postponed as we struggle with the “drought” conditions. Still I guess if the Queen can’t be blessed with good weather during her Jubilee celebrations, what chance do we have? Hadleigh Tennis club plays (from March to October), on three sessions per week: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 12.00 pm. 2012 annual membership fees are being held at £100 for adults and £60 for students.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh United got their season underway with a great six goal win at Ipswich Wanderers. The first goal was fired in by Kris Rose and then Ollie Brown hit our second with another great shot. Scott Chaplin scored two, one from the penalty spot, before Wanderers scored their only goal of the game. This was just the start we wanted. Sam Banya netted the fifth and sixth goals, including a penalty kick to complete a big win. The next match was a three goal win at Conard with Neil Calver scoring twice and Liam Jennings once. Conard managed one in reply. A team from Leyton Orient provided professional opposition for the next match which was in aid of the Help for Heroes charity. Once again Hadleigh were in top form scoring three goals and conceding nothing. Neil Claver scored from a penalty kick before James Blades added the other two. A fly-past by a search and rescue helicopter from Wattisham added to the occasion. Winners of the Keepy-Uppy competition were Oliver Peters and George Nestor from our youth section. A newcomer to the club is Liam Britton who is manager of the reserves. Liam comes from Sudbury. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were, Stuart Crawford, Bob Fletcher and Mary Ashton.

Great Swim Series and Hadleigh Swimming Club The Great Swim series are five televised open water swims organised and sponsored by British Gas, held in London, Suffolk, The Lake District, Manchester and Scotland. Swimmers of all abilities from Elite and olympic to club swimmers, swimmers, tria-athletes and fun swimmers converge together to enjoy open water swimming in a range of venues with their own unique challenges. Hadleigh swimming Club fondly called Hadleigh Dolphins have always fielded a squad of swimmers every year. Master swimmer, Josie Clarke entered the London swim on a lovely sunny day in May and competed a mile in a very respectable time of 35:34 minutes. The second Great Series swim was the Great East swim, held at Alton Water, Suffolk. A range of distances are offered here, from 800m, 1 mile, 2 miles and 5km. The event was postponed for 24 hours due to challenging weather conditions (the first time in it's 4 year history). Even the next day, (17th June - fathers day) saw wind gusts of over 24 miles per hour and water temperatures a chilly 13.5 degrees. The course was reversed on the day for safety. Twenty five dolphins competed, and for some it was their first open water event and the wind added a real challenge this year. The wearing of wet suits was compulsory. In the 800m, Master Swimmer, Richard Goodchild was first dolphin home in 11:58 minutes (9th Place). Senior swimmers, Alanah Barton and Becca Mann were next in 15th place, 12.25 and 19th place and 12.45 mins respectively. First junior was Fin Clarke in 14.55 mins and 48th place. Remarkably, senior swimmer and Teacher, Mark Oxford competed the 800m swimming butterfly in a great time of 18.51 mins and 71st place. Other swimmers in the 8oom were: Rachel white 57th in 15.66 mins, William White 72nd in 18.53 mins. Maurice Grover in 53rd place in 15.11 mins. Isobel Field in 59th in 16.05 mins and her dad, David Field 110th in 22.32 mins. Well done all of you. The most popular distance is the one mile event and many of the Dolphins are seasoned swimmers at this distance, so many were out to try and get Personal Best (PB) times. The weather would see that this didn't happen this year! First Dolphin back was Head Coach, Alex Deal in 39th place in a time of 25:12 minutes. Richard Goodchild was competing in his second event came in 55th place in 25.52 mins. Next home was Lauren Ryder in 30:17 minutes, followed closely by Beth Coe in 30:52 and Daniel leathers in 31:29 mins. Master swimmers Tony Slade finished in 32:05 and Anita Malster in 36:58, Hugh White in 37:33, Sarah Mann in 41:18 and David Olive 57:10. Last but not least,teenager Gerraint White finished in 41:37 mins. Beth Coe and David Olive were competing in their very first open water swims. In the two Miles, Richard Goodchild and Mark Oxford were close finishers, Mark pipped Richard in a time of 55:09, this was his 2nd event. Richard, in his 3rd event of the day finished in 55:27. Master swimmer Kelly Wagland, along with Mick Evans and Colin Clarke were all attempting 2 miles for the first time. Kelly finished under the hour in 59:30, followed by Mick in 1:10:25 hours and Colin in 1:14:26 hours. Congratulations to all the swimmers mentioned, some of you raised a lot of money for charities, cancer research and centre point. Finally three aforementioned travelled to Manchester to compete in the fourth Great Swim at Salford Quays. All were swimming a mile and the weather was kinder on this occasion with over 3,000 swimmers competing.
