Token Scheme launched in Hadleigh The East of England Co-operative Society is helping local people support their community by launching a token scheme at their Hadleigh Supermarket. The three local projects set to gain from the collection are the Porch Project, the Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding and Hadleigh Community Transport. Customers at the Hadleigh Store will be given a token for every five pounds they spend in store* and they will be able to choose which of the three projects they would like to support. Each token will be worth 5p to the project. The Porch Project was founded in 2009, starting with just 15 members. It now sees over 150 young people aged between 11 and 20 years old who meet 3 times a week. The project provides hospitality, counselling, education and recreational activities designed to improve their conditions of life. The Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding provides riding and carriage driving for local adults and children with special needs. The volunteer run centre has eight horses at the centre that need care all year round as well as equipment and training required to carry out the riding sessions which will be supported by the tokens collected. Hadleigh Community Transport hopes to create new travel services to improve the lives of people in Hadleigh and the surrounding area. They hope to start a regular bus service to Ipswich Hospital for appointments and visits, a bus
service to Bury St Edmunds Market and to offer further transport services that local people need. Hadleigh Mayor Mary Munson, helped the East of England Co-op to select the three projects to support. At the launch she said, “This is the first initiative of this type to be introduced to Hadleigh and the local people have taken to it very well. I was keen that the three projects chosen covered all age groups with in Hadleigh and the surrounding area. ...Continued on page 4

The Porch Project Happy new year to Hadleigh from the porch project. Just wanted to make parents of young people who attend the project aware that young people need to sign up online to get a key fob at www.porchproject.co.uk it litterally takes 5 minutes and then ensures that young people can sign in and out of the project electronically, this is a vital tool that we need to ensure happens to keep a record of who is in the building at what time etc it also is vital for fire protection amoung other things so if your young person is interested in coming to the project or already comes but hasn't signed up yet then please can you take 5 minutes to do this. We would like to publically thank so many people for their on going financial support of the project including Barabara Boyd and the Thrift Shop, The Rotary Club, The Town Council and so many more so we thank you because without your financial support the project just could not run. We would also like to make a special thank you to the Co-Op for running the scheme in their shop that supports three local charities including our own so thank you for that. Can I also just take this opportunity to ask the community for two things if possible, If there is any one who would like to volunteer with us or know a bit more about the project just get in touch with me, and also if there is anyone in the community who would be wiling to give up some time to come on board as a treasurer we would really appreciate any support you can give, my contact details are craigus44@hotmail.com and my number is 07450 219924 Thanks and blessings, Craig Hutton, Porch Project Youth Work Co-Ordinator
Playstation Pre-School We are well into the New Year now, we have had a lot of children start here over the last month or so and I must say that they have all settled in well. Over the next month we will be ‘Learning About Me’ at Playstation. We will be looking at how we are all different, how tall we are, comparing ourselves to our friends and family. We will be learning about our pets and also healthy eating. We will be celebrating Chinese New Year and this will be the year of the Snake. Playstation held a very successful Quiz Night on Saturday 26th January, many thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes, thank you to everyone who attended, we all had a great night. Once the money has been counted we will let you know next month how much was raised. With the ever changing weather at the moment I just wanted to remind everyone that if Playstation is closed due to bad weather we will update our Facebook page and will also inform Radio Suffolk who will broadcast this. And finally 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. Please telephone Playstation on 824271 for enrolment details, a prospectus or to arrange a visit, or visit our website at http://www.playstationhadleigh.com
Hadleigh Healing Society We have had our first fall of snow of the New Year and wondering whether this summer is going to be any better than the last. At least we will not need a hose pipe ban! Will there be more news of doom and gloom with many well known names disappearing from our High Street. Let us all try be a little more optimistic and look for good in our lives. Try to be a little kinder, considerate and understanding of others. The financial situation affects us all and we have to dig deep and draw on our inner strength to live our daily lives. Some people find this so hard because of the multitude of problems they are facing. As healers we understand because we face the same problems. If you want someone to talk to in confidence, we are there for you. Just ring for an appointment on 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www. hadleighhealingsociety.org and we will be there to listen
The Hadleigh Historian (Issue 14) February sees the 80th anniversary of the world record-breaking flight in 1933 made by Hadleigh man Oswald Gayford, who flew non-stop from England to South Africa, a distance of 5,341 miles. The ups and downs of the journey and Gayford’s impressive career in the Royal Air Force are told in detail and illustrated from the collection kindly loaned by Squadron Leader John Bloomfield (retired), including Hadleigh’s celebration of its hero when Gayford visited the town on his 40th birthday in May 1933. Published in 2007, The Inventory of St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh, Suffolk (still available on the church bookstall) is a fictionalised account of an inventory of plate, vestments and books being drawn up by churchwardens in 1480. ‘Embellishment of St Mary’s Church’ puts the listed items of plate in their context, explains their uses in services, as well as showing that compared to other parishes of similar standing, Hadleigh not only had such items in quantity but also of quality. This issue has the last in the series ‘From the Dean’s Diary’, when homes in Angel Street like those of ‘decent old widow’ Ann Frost and farmer of Aldham Common John Corder were subjected to Dean Knox’s scrutiny in 1844. A new series will begin in the next issue entitled ‘From the British School Log Book’, which covers the second half of the 19th century. In 1822, John Quinton was robbed and his family threatened with violence at their home in Hadleigh Hamlet. Margaret Jeffery, a member of Hadleigh Local Studies Workshop, writes about the consequences for the perpetrators of this crime in ‘A botched hanging’. Other articles include the story of Hadleigh’s eccentric William Twigger; the age of the Raven Almshouses in Benton Street; and a map showing Cross Farm, long before it was covered with roads and houses like Highland Way, Taylor Road and Edwin Panks Road. The Hadleigh Historian Issue 14 (February-March 2013) priced £3.00 is available in Hadleigh at Keith Avis Newsagents and at Idler Bookshop, and from Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer. Sue Andrews
Hadleigh Thrift Shop Just before Christmas we raffled a lovely hamper. That was kindly donated by Cooperative Funeral Services. It raised £150 and was won by a lady called Molly who lives in Whatfield. The Dean of St Mary's Church picked out the winning ticket, and the money was to help some struggling families.

GSOLICITORS IBBONS Howard in the Barbican gardens Hello one and all: with the opening of the Morrison supermarket on the Buy Right site, I thought that I should pay a visit so that I can empathise with my readers who have to experience these places. My groceries are trundled through the countryside from an emporium in Piccadilly called Fortnum and Mason! Morrisons seem to have squashed a lot of shelves in the space available and all the shoppers were bumping into one another. Not a shop of any particular distinction and prices are all much of a muchness. Do continue to support the Co-op not least for the benefit of the Town. How quickly things change. Since I arrived in Hadleigh some ten years ago, housing estates have sprung-up and now the usual supermarket format. I am saddened to read of tried and tested shops collapsing. As a result of shopping “on line” no one is going to the shops. Commercial property in towns will lose its value if it can’t be let. I read recently that no-one wants pianos and they are being scrapped in their thousands. It seems that we are to become a nation of uninteresting people who do not go out, have no hobbies, cannot converse and only know how to click from one web-site to the next. While you are clicking though, take a look at my new website at www.gibbons.tv. You’ll find more pictures of me and there is a section for my columns in case you have missed one. COMPETITION: from the website you can work out the number of complete years that I have been qualified as a solicitor. E-mail the figure and the correct answer will win a bottle of champagne (if more than one I will draw from a hat). You’ll need to let me have your name and address. Although my column is read on a world wide basis, I am afraid that I will only deliver the prize within the catchment area of the magazine itself which of course does include all the villages. In the Summer, I was wafted by my long distance chauffeur Christof, to London where I visited my good friend Stephen Chapman, a commercial property lawyer who lives in one of the Barbican towers. Parking is atrocious so how one manages without a driver, I do not know. Stephen is another petrol head and has a large collection of Cadillacs. The Barbican was constructed during the 1960s and 1970s and includes the world famous Arts Centre. There are 13 terrace blocks and three towers. The view from my friend’s flat on the 22nd floor is fantastic. The complex has at its heart gardens surrounding a lake only open to residents and where the picture shows me in an oasis in the middle of the City. I had a lovely lunch in one of the Barbican restaurants. All quite a different life-style to the Suffolk countryside. Howard Gibbons

Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Welfare Committee 2012 has brought another tremendous result for the Christmas Appeal raising £4817.00. This has not only fully funded the issue of about 500 vouchers worth £9.00 each (increased from £8.00 last year) to the over 70s in Hadleigh but should enable the Committee to consider a further increase in 2013. A very big thank you goes to all the businesses and organisations who have given so generously especially to the following major sponsors: Hadleigh Thrift Shop, Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association, Franey, Rand and Pest House Charities, Aldham Common Charity, Jim Lawrence, The George Hadleigh, MW Partridge & Co Ltd., Roma International PLC., Celotex Ltd., Hadleigh Castings Ltd., Gotelees Solicitors. The Committee also thanks very much indeed the loyal team of voucher distributors without whom it would be difficult to operate. Helpers are always needed and if anyone feels that they would like to assist in this way please telephone David, 01473 827226. Finally, anyone who has lived in Hadleigh for 6 months or more, will be aged 70 this year, or has attained the age of 70 but has not received a voucher previously and would like one should write, giving name, address and date of birth to David Stokes, Ravenbank, Upper Street, Layham, Ipswich IP7 5JZ. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
Tree Monkeys We are under way with 2013 and everything is full steam ahead! Whilst we have been relatively quiet with storm damage reports so far. We have had lots of requests to prune and tidy up your fruit trees. From November to late February is an ideal time to start giving those fruity little numbers a snip! If you are looking to spruce up your garden this year then why not give us a call and go for a garden makeover. We can remove any deadwood, cut back hedges and tidy up those sorry looking trees. We can also turn the waste into wood chip and mulch which is great to put on the flower beds! So if you want to get your garden sorted and ready for spring blossoms or as far ahead as summer then we look forward to meeting you for a friendly chat.

Anna’s BIG Ugandan Adventure January: As I am writing this I've been in Kampala, Uganda's capital, for almost a week and am thoroughly enjoying it! I've spent the last week getting used to a new country - lots of different foods, lots of hot weather and lots of boda bodas (a sort of moped taxi used to travel around the city). I've also been visiting and meeting with various organisations in Kampala to see how I might be able to help them out over the next few months which has been tricky as the schools don't go back until February so I can't do much work there yet! I've been to the Scout and Guide headquarters and also to the office for Scripture Union and am looking forward to helping with both of these. Thanks again to all those who have supported my trip, keep an eye out in next month's community news for my next update and don't forget to check my blog; annajgordon.wordpress.com Anna Gordon
Training for the Unemployed at Orchard Barn OBee Community Interest Company is proud to announce that we have been given a grant from the European Social Fund to provide training in rural crafts to unemployed adults during 2013. This is the perfect opportunity for us to introduce our lovely teaching space to those who might not otherwise visit us, and give them the opportunity to learn new skills. We will be running courses over the period from March to July covering seven different activities, (one day a week over a seven week period) from making compost and deadwood screens, to re-pointing brick and flint walls and constructing wattle and daub. The grant also enables us to provide paid contracts for five part-time posts involved in delivering the project. We understand that there was fierce competition for these grants, so we are delighted that our bid was successful and we are looking forward to meeting new recruits and showing them some age-old skills which remain valuable in the modern era. We are, of course, continuing to offer volunteering activities throughout the year. In late winter/early spring on Wednesdays we will either be hedge-renovating, or making oak shingles - depending on the weather. You do not need any previous experience as full tuition will be available. Please do ring ahead to book your place by calling Sarah Partridge on 01473 658193 or 07766 054042, or you can email her at sarah@orchardbarn.org.uk For more photographs and details of our activities visit www.orchardbarn.org.uk
Journalist who interviewed Che and taught Fidel to make an Irish Coffee My late husband's oldest brother, Arthur Quinlan, passed away in Limerick just before Christmas. A lovely man, Arthur was best known for his work with The Irish Times and RTE television out of Shannon Airport in a career which spanned more than 50 years. He famously taught Fidel Castro how to make an Irish coffee and is said to be the only western journalist to have interviewed Che Guevara. An amusing and full account of these unique occasions is given in the Guardian media link: http://m.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2013/jan/01/che-guevara-ireland Maggie Quinlan

The winter period is hard for our horses. Our challenge this winter has been with the wet weather. Lady is an elderly Pony, she suffers with Cushings Syndrome, but with a dry stable at night, plenty of food, grooming and general TLC, Lady is kept in tip top shape. If you want to pamper Lady and her friends please contact us, details below. Fundraising is key to any charity and the Christmas Pud quiz held at The Fleece Hotel in Boxford was a great success. With over 60 participents and a raffle, £308 was raised for the Horse Sanctuary. If you feel you can help us with anything, however small, including fundraising, please contact Rachael Raine on 07786 963926 or by email on Rachael.Raine@Googlemail.com

Wow what a morning! The QED skid pan experience on 13th January was a success our clients had the opportunity to experience and learn to control skids in rear wheel and front wheel drive cars as well as experiencing how ABS works. Everyone had a grin on their faces when they got out of the cars and had learned a lot at the same time. The client’s comments speak for themselves: “Everybody should do this, I learned so much and it could save a life.� Dr S. “That was great fun, I found it really difficult to get the car sliding because I had to do everything you taught me not to do, I’m really glad I have done this�. MG We have another opportunity for you to have a go on March 17th. The course is great fun you use the centres cars and you will be trained by two very friendly ex-police instructors. The cars provided are front and rear wheel drive, manual and automatic and both with and without ABS. The skid pan is one of the old oil based type which gives a realistic feel. We had a lot of ladies on the last course and the March course has four ladies booked already so come on lads if the ladies can do it I’m sure that there’s nothing to be scared of! Driving tip of the month – when there is snow make sure you clear all of it from your vehicle not just windows and lights, snow blowing off the bonnet can cover your windscreen and snow from the body work causes a hazard to other drivers.

Who Thrilled Kenny! My human friends and I are thrilled that the good people of Leavenheath have chosen SESAW as one of the beneficiaries of the Open Gardens and Scarecrow Festival on 23rd June. It promises to be a fun filled day, read all about it on the village website at: http://leavenheath.org/index.htm. More good news comes from Nigel Eaves who is embarking upon an Oz Adventure to raise money for SESAW. He is planning a solo 5000 mile motorcycle trip across the Australian desert, starting and finishing in Perth. We wish Nigel the very best of luck for his journey which begins in March and will take up to six weeks. To find out more and donate, visit: http://www.justgiving.com/Nigel-Eaves. Christmas brought the usual assortment of abandoned animals including Mary and Joseph - what else could we call them? These beautiful cats were dumped on a doorstep one cold, wet night but despite their ordeal, they are really friendly and affectionate. Thanks to our many supporters we can keep them safe and well until a new home is found. Our next money raising event is a Jumble Sale at the Stevenson Centre, Broom Street, Gt.Cornard, CO10 0WD, Saturday 16th February, 1–3.30pm. We welcome any unwanted Christmas presents for this event or as raffle prizes later in the year. Thank you from everyone at Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare, Stoke Road, Leavenheath, and me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua!

Out of the Frying Pan Sometimes I feel as though I have fallen into a parallel universe where ideas which have long been discredited come back and assume the mantle of respectability. Yes, I’m talking about car parking charges. Babergh apparently spends £200,000 more than it collects in parking charges. In 2010/11 income was £103,000, so by implication Babergh are hoping to raise three times as much revenue – which is very difficult to do without introducing short term charges or reducing the free period. The support which free car parking gives to the market towns and parishes allows the High Streets to thrive and for business rates to be generated. You cannot separate one from the other. The new charging proposals have not yet been published but already we are told that the issues should be resolved in 2013 and in time for setting the 2014/15 Budget. Hopefully we shall have comprehensive and transparent figures for car parking costs and income. I could not find the figures for 2011/12 but the forecast was for a net cost of £25,440 which is a country mile from the £200,000 now being paraded! Let’s also have the same rules applying to staff parking at Corks Lane as apply to workers in the town. First, let’s put our own house in order. The lights around Corks Lane and particularly in the Bridge Street car park are on at all hours. For what purpose – it can’t be entirely for security! Babergh needs to look at a root and branch attack on wasteful spending before endangering the well being of others. Meanwhile elsewhere to the south of the town at the junction of Pond Hall Road and Hook Lane we have a disaster in the making. Hadleigh enjoys a significant equine sector covering breeding, showing, stabling and leisure. Within twenty yards of the junction there is a warning sign of a double bend, a SLOW advisory on the road and a national speed limit sign of 60 m.p.h. Ideally the 30 m.p.h. zone should be extended beyond the bends as this area frequently sees speeding vehicles meeting riders and their horses. One day we will see a horse and rider injured by incautious driving. Then we will all say that we saw the accident coming (except of course for the vehicle driver)!

In Hadleigh partnership Pool with & Leisure For many years it was thought that brick construction was introduced to Britain Stonehouse Road, Hadleigh Ipswich Suffolk IP7 5BH Telephone: 0845 838 4782 by the Romans but a number of Saxon churches in East Anglia can be seen to have been built with Saxon bricks and many of the names and terms still in Hadleigh Pool & Leisure use in the manufacturing process have Saxon origins, indeed some have Stonehouse Road, Hadleigh Ipswich Suffolk IP7 5BH survived unchanged. This was confirmed by popular historian ProfessorTelephone: 0845 838 4782 Michael Wood during the course of filming at Bulmer for his recent BBC television series, As well as taking us through the process of brickmaking, scarcely changed over the centuries, we learned that there is evidence of kilns operating on the same spot in Bulmer since AD 796. Moving on through a brief geology lesson on the formation of clay beds on the coast either side of the Thames estuary and how they gradually spread inland, an interesting side issue was also to finally understand why our gardens are such hard work! And of course why East Anglia became such a major centre for brick manufacture. Who would think that the intricate brickwork of Henry VIII's Hampton Court beauty Palace was built of our bricks, right through to the elaborate patterns of multiterrie redmore of coloured bricks used for St Pancras Station - from the original Victorian beauty therapist_nail technician_reflexologist construction to modern-day restoration work involved in creating the new European rail terminal of the 21st century?

Fidelis Activity News THE MAGISTRATE. It was a night of misunderstandings, hair-raising discoveries and frantic escapes from the law and this is not a reference to a Fidelis outing. The play hinges on a little white lie which widow Agatha told her future husband, magistrate Posket. By reducing her age by five years she could not have foreseen the hilarious consequences for her nineteen year old son and respectable magistrate husband. More secrets, nightclub visits, hiding on balconies and under tables ensued in a desperate attempt to uphold those respectable, traditional family values. Fidelis members thoroughly enjoyed this updated version of Victorian playwright Pinero’s comic masterpiece. The play was beamed live from the National Theatre London into the Ipswich Film Theatre (IFT) in the town centre. John Lithgow played the long suffering magistrate and Joshua McGuire was a most convincing, amusing fourteen year old going on nineteen. The unusual innovative sets were inspired by a children’s pop-up book, Richard Stilgoe wrote the lyrics especially for the very polished dandies who sang them between acts. This is a highly successful fusion of traditional and modern theatre full of ideas and sentiments which are just as relevant today as in Pinero’s time. J. Devey
Bird Feeders Owing to all this rain I found my nut feeders to be full of mouldy nuts and would like to make all readers of this magazine aware of the dangers of poisoning the birds.

Outstanding generosity from big hearted Hadleigh Shop Keepers Over 30 local people who found themselves in hardship over Christmas in Hadleigh and the surrounding areas could enjoy a good feed through the Festive Food Share. It is rare to find towns across the whole of the country to boast such an array of local independent shops and it is this community that helps to make Hadleigh unique. The generosity of the managers and owners of our local shops was hailed to be ‘outstanding’ by all involved in Festive Food Share. Equally, much gratitude goes to the Dean of St. Mary’s, Martin Thrower and his family who gave their time to help. Additionally, a substantial donation of quality meat from The Jolly Meat Company and quality large Christmas puddings and cakes etc. from Ferguson’s Delicattesen were gratefully received at Hope Church in Ipswich to support their new project, The Ipswich Winter Night Shelter which also supports Hadleigh people in need. All the food was prepared and cooked by volunteer chefs over Christmas. A huge heartfelt thank you to all the shops who contributed, (below) and helped to make the Hadleigh Festive Food Share a great success. What a difference you have made in providing for people in genuine need of support this Christmas. • THE JOLLY MEAT COMPANY • FERGUSON’S DELICATTESEN • ADNAM’S CELLAR AND KITCHEN STORE • MOLLY’S SHOP (Long Bessels) • PARTRIDGE’S OF HADLEIGH • HADLEIGH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE • HADLEIGH CO-OPERATIVE • MI-TE FRESH (Fruit and Vegetable stall at Hadleigh Market) • CHINA GARDEN Marc Hooker

On 10 August 1915, the 1st/5th Suffolk Regt landed at Suvla Bay in Gallipoli and within days they saw their first action. As part of 163 Brigade of the 54th East Anglian Division, they took part in a frontal assault on Tekke Tepe Ridge on the 12 August. 163 Brigade had been given the task of clearing the Suvla plain up to the foothills of the Tekke Tepe. It was thought that this would be a straight forward advance to clear isolated enemy snipers. Unfortunately, that was not the case and the Brigade took a severe mauling at the hands of the Turkish defenders who had the advantage of good defensive positions on the high ground. The Brigade did not reach the foothills but managed to establish a new front line. A few days later they were taken out of the front Pte George Edward Willis line and allowed a short period to rest at which point the extent of their losses were realised. They had lost 11 Officers, including their Commanding Officer, and 178 other ranks killed or wounded. The men of Hadleigh were in ‘C’ Company, one of the lead companies during the advance and 16 Hadleigh men were lost that day. This short but brutal first action truly was a baptism of fire for this territorial Battalion. The days immediately following the 12 August were chaotic and without their Commanding Officer it took a while for the Battalion to reorganise. Casualty lists were collated many days later and as a result many of the Suffolks were officially listed as missing on 21 August. During my research I have been sent two photographs of two of the Hadleigh men. Pte Pte George Revans George Revans and Pte George Edward Willis. You can see from the photos that they are both very similar in many ways and could have been taken around the same time in the same place. Both of the soldiers hold the same pose, they rest their left arm on the same piece of furniture and the window (or backdrop) appears to be the same. If anyone has any similar photos in their family collection I would love to hear from them. You can contact me at mark.j.brennan@talk21.com

Hadleigh Community Primary School Make do and mend toys a success! At the end of last term, Year Six, as part of their studies of twentieth century Britain, discovered what it was like to live in the times of rationing when the only toys they may have received at Christmas were those which had been hand made from scraps of material or odd pieces of wood or metal. They were all encouraged to make their own toy from scraps. It was a very successful exercise, and many of the children enjoyed making the toys as much as actually having the end result! Here are just a few of their creations. Year Five poets A number of our Year Five children were delighted to hear their poems had been selected to be published in poetry book which will be in all public libraries. In addition, our Year Five students have experienced great success writing their own haiku poetry (poems which have 17 syllables in lines of 5, 7 then 5 syllables). Here is a small selection of their work: Lightening Streaking down to Earth like a missile being launched, bombing the hard ground By Sony Tene Fire Bursting with hotness. The burning flames devour, A flickering beast By Lucy Thackray

The Nursery Admissions Panel from Suffolk County Council will meet in May to allocate Nursery class places for September in all the Hadleigh Primary schools. It is almost certain that we will be full again in September and will therefore have no further intakes in that academic year, therefore if you have not already done so, please return your application for consideration. Please can you pass this message onto friends with children born between those dates, who may not be aware.

Welcome to this months Police news item. Suffolk Police have, on average, 20 calls a week from members of the public reporting loose horses on the carriageway. Sadly an incident on December 24th involved the loss of life of a 23-year-old man when horses were loose on the road. Although some cases involve a horse & rider parting company whilst out riding, most loose horses is a result of them escaping from fields with inadequate fencing. A lot of valuable police resources are used to make highways safe by capturing the escapees and trying to identify the horses’ owners. A landowner has a duty to ensure that animals kept on their land do not stray, and a claim for damages may lie against a landowner or tenant where it can be shown that the escape was caused by their negligence. Particularly as most fields are adjacent to public roads you could be held legally responsible for any accident injury or damages incurred by a third party, should your horse escape from his field and venture onto the road. Prevention is better than cure. Fences and barriers should be regularly inspected, and a brief note of the dates and outcomes (such as appointments for fencing contractors or report to the landowner) should be kept. Electric fencing has practical benefits, but extreme caution should be exercised if used as the primary barrier in the event of power failure. If you rent land, although the field is not technically your property, it is still your responsibility to ensure that the fencing is adequate for the purpose for which it is used - this means all reasonable efforts must be made to contain the horses - the fencing must be of adequate height and condition around the whole boundary of the field and the gate and its fastenings must be secure. For legal as well as safety reasons, check your fencing is safe for horses. It is an arrestable offence under The Highways Act 1980 to allow livestock to stray or lay on the public road and Suffolk Police will take action against horse owners who are negligent in keeping their horses securely contained.

THE HADLEIGH SOCIETY Caring about Hadleigh, yesterday, today and tomorrow
After a long period of stable conditions, the last nine months’ inclement weather has, on occasions, caused those of us who live or work on or near the river Brett concern about the possibility of flooding to our properties. If the experts are correct we may be heading for more periods of the same weather in the future. It may then be a surprise to some residents that our planning authority is still keen to allow development on the River Brett flood plain. Recent projects include the Health Centre car park, the new fire station, Morrison’s new car park and other private developments. The latest planning application to build on the flood plain is for a Tesco store on the riverside site which includes the former Brett Works. Consultants for Tesco have provided a Flood Risk Assessment as required by the planning regulations, which tries to justify the building of a supermarket in a high flood risk area. The Flood Risk Assessment is quite old now (5 years) and has had minor changes for the latest planning application to bring it in line with present regulations. The Environment Agency is required to respond to planning applications and a summary of their response is as follows: The Environment Agency reminds the planning authority that they are obliged to carry out two tests. The first, the sequential test, asks if it is absolutely necessary to build a supermarket at all and if so, asks if it could be built elsewhere in the town other than the flood plain. In our opinion this application fails on both counts. If our representatives agree, the application would certainly fail the second test, the exception test, as it calls for an access road to be built on the category of land most likely to flood (3b). The National Planning Policy Framework states that this category of land should be kept for essential infrastructure only, like mass evacuation transport routes specifically built for the purpose. Tesco’s assessment maintains that, as the provision of a supermarket is in the Local Plan, their application passes the sequential test. However the Local Plan was composed without the aid of, and subject to, a Flood Risk Assessment for the Riverside site. As far as we know neither the Local Plan inspector nor anybody else has considered the flood risk sequential test for the Riverside site in general, and this application in particular, which now includes the highest category of land at risk of flood. There must be other sites in the

town for a supermarket which do not involve development of 3b land and which therefore should be considered first. The Environment Agency response also lists other areas where the Tesco Flood Risk Assessment is inadequate. In particular there is insufficient detail of the performance of the proposed surface water drainage and attenuation pond strategy for a range of flooding events. The Environment Agency also asks for detailed calculations and drawings on how the surface water would be dealt with. Currently the Environment Agency is withholding its approval for this application and other, well qualified, experts in the industry have also commented negatively on the Tesco Flood Risk Assessment (FRA). The areas of comment include: • The FRA mentions that revised figures from the Environment Agency show a slight decrease in some estimates of flooding events but does not show the effect the decrease will have. It would be normal practice to produce comparison tables to show the effect but these are absent. The suspicion is that the reduction in levels is less than significant. • The March 2009 flooding event is not mentioned in the FRA. This would have been a good opportunity to compare statistical model analysis and the flood levels experienced on site. An opportunity sadly missed. • The statutory regulation framework has been changed by the government since the original FRA was produced (from PPS25 to the National Planning Policy Framework and technical guidance). The difference between the two procedures has not been detailed sufficiently in the FRA. • Emergency access and egress via Pound Lane during flood conditions is thought to be woefully inadequate. • Recent changes in water legislation (Flood and Water Management Act) place a greater responsibility on Suffolk County Council for surface water management. The FRA omits any mention of consultation with Suffolk County Council. Aside from all these technical problems with the application, there is also a common sense approach our councillors might contemplate: The future of weather patterns in this country is still unclear and there are plenty of examples where planning permission for new build properties has been granted with disastrous consequences. It would be wise to be prudent about future flood risks. If this development were to go ahead it would not just affect the store, but could have possible consequences for property and land for miles up and down stream of the site for decades to come. So there is one question our representatives should consider: If you don’t have to approve this development in the flood plain why would you? Sue Angland
Smart Goals to Lose Weight The New Year is the time when many of us have resolved to change those things that made us unhappy or unhealthy – or both. Our expectations are high but they need to be realistic to be achievable. We all have obstacles to overcome at times, times when things don’t go according to plan. A little inspiration can help you through these times. Think back to how you dealt with a previous hurdle and give yourself credit for the strength you found at the time. Be proud of your achievements, big or small, and don’t beat yourself up too much if you lose focus sometimes. Setting goals can help to manage expectations, using SMART goals can help – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time specific. This method can be very useful for those of us wanting to lose weight: Specific – I want to lose two dress sizes by Easter; Measurable – pounds and inches lost; Achievable – with a positive mindset and support; Realistic – it is a realistic goal; Time specific – I have a timeframe in mind. Along with goal-setting we need a positive approach. If we start out with a negative mindset then we’ll almost certainly fail – tell yourself “I will do this” then you will be right, if you say “I can’t….” you’ll also be right…!! We also need to avoid the weight-loss saboteurs – those who try to tempt us with our favourite (fattening) food – don’t let them ruin it for you! Equally, don’t keep making excuses: we can always find a reason not to focus on our goal – “I’ll start next week” or “I can’t diet on Saturday because……!!” If you would like individual help with a weight problem, Val has been an accredited Independent Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant for 4 years and can be contacted on 01449 737113 or 07519 177645 or visit www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL for more information.
The ‘snow’ must go on! With months of planning and preparation for the open day to launch a new branch of Miss Lesley's Performing Arts School in the village of Boxford, the only thing that could not be choreographed was the weather! With most of the area already in freezing temperatures and a dusting of snow, the last thing that was needed was a warning of severe snow to fall the night before the open day! Luckily on the morning there had been a light fall overnight and existing students from the Bildeston school managed to make their way safely to the village of Boxford. A fantastic turn out arrived at the village hall from "There's no business like snow people keen to find out more, meet business at MLSPA!" Miss Lesley and see a demonstration show from existing pupils; it was also delightful to see many children in the audience taking part in a number of routines as well! Miss Lesley, Principal at MLSPA is now pleased to confirm the official start day of the Boxford school, which will open on Saturday, 18th May 2013! Many children have already registered for a place at the school and she hopes that they are as excited as she is about this new venture in Boxford! Miss Lesley would like to take this opportunity to give a special thanks to all the parents of existing students from the Bildeston school for braving the weather and the students for putting on a great show!

Parish Council There was no meeting of the Parish Council in December.
Those who help to make our village tick
On Wednesday 7 January a small celebration was held in the Village Hall. The Parish Council invited those members of the community and their partners who, at this time, are the volunteers who make things happen here. 50 people managed to get along – as can be seen in the photograph below and included those who assist the Parish Council as Neighbourhood Watch wardens, Local History Recorder, Archivist, Hadleigh Community News deliverers in Lower Layham, Webmaster, Community Lunch organisers, members of the Brett Valley National Grid Forum, War Memorial cleaner, provider of car parking space for big events and as members of the Green Team. There were also representatives of the Parochial Church Council, the Village Hall Management Committee, the Playing Field Management Committee and Friends of St Andrews. Attention was drawn to the valuable roles played by the Post Office and the local pub – particularly, in the case of the latter in promoting a local art show and hosting the first community lunch. The idea of the celebration was to thank, publicly, those who “make our village tick” and we closed with a toast to “the continuing strengthening of our community”.

Flooding at the Granary Once again this winter we have seen the water from the River Brett flowing through the Playing Field gate and cutting off the Granary and Mill House. It is interesting that the water has never been known to rise above the floor level of the Granary – built originally to store grain and keep it dry! The farmers at that time knew 22

a bit about the behaviour of the river! Thank you to Peter Garnett for supplying the photograph of rising water in 2013. The highest flood level in memory was probably in 1978 as see in the photograph taken from the upstairs window of one of the houses in Watermill 1979 flooding around the granary Close. The water was rushing under the granary just below floor level and was well up the gardens of Mill Cottages. In subsequent floods, the doctor who lived at the Granary for a number of years, had to construct a ropeway to ensure that he was not swept off his feet when wading through the water to get to his car parked up Mill Lane. It is interesting seeing how little hedge and tree growth there was in the area in 1979.
Builders’ marks A few months ago a tree was removed from in front of the building that was originally our village school (next to the church). This revealed a brick near the apex of the roof which had been carefully carved with a name and a date. It reads: C.Cooke 1840. It seems possible that C.Cooke will have been the builder of the National School which, according to Kelly’s Directory of 1912, was erected (opened?) in 1842 to cater for 72 children. It is frustrating to find Edward Cook (without an ‘e’) shown as a ‘bricklayer’ living in Layham in the 1844 White’s Directory and Henry Cook also shown as a ‘bricklayer’ in the 1869 Kelly’s Directory. A check with the 1841 and 1861 Census returns confirms that Henry Cook was the son of Edward Cook and that the family lived in Lower Layham for at least two generations. There is no doubt that their surname Cook is without an ‘e’ – thus it appears that C.Cooke came from elsewhere to build our village school. It is not uncommon for buildings to have marks on bricks or stonework. If you live in Layham and know of something similar on your home that might identify a date of building or a builder or owner, please contact Michael Woods on michaelwoods@suffolkonline.net or by telephone: 01473 823798.
Arthur Holmes The appeal last month for information about Leading Canteen Assistant Arthur Holmes led to a telephone call from Russell Pipe who was visiting his 91 year old mother Eva Pipe. Eva knew Arthur when she was 16 and was offering to pass on what she knew. This led to a meeting with Eva and the revelation that Arthur had been her first boyfriend when she was 16. She describes him as a good looking young man with blond hair. Harry and Georgina Holmes had moved to Potts Cottages, Potts Lane, Layham with their two sons and daughter Agnes when Harry took up a new job as a farm worker. Arthur had already found employment with the NAAFI and was working on naval ships. He met Eva, who lived nearby at Hadleigh Heath, when he was home on leave. Eva was the daughter of Isaac and Ann Dunningham who owned the farm at Prospect House on Stackwood Road. Eva and Arthur wrote to each other when Arthur was away and met each time he returned home on leave. Their friendship lasted several years. On one occasion Arthur gave Eva a brooch mounted with the coat of Arms of the ship on which he was serving – HMS Sheffield. 75 years later Eva still has that little brooch. Arthur contracted Tuberculosis (or consumption as it was commonly referred to at the time) and was brought home to Bury St Edmunds Hospital. Eva accompanied Georgina and Angela Holmes when they visited Arthur. Sadly he did not conquer the illness and died in May 1942. He was buried in Layham burial ground and Eva attended the funeral. He is honoured for his service at sea with a Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstone. It has been most heartwarming meeting Eva and hearing her story – all in the quest to record the stories behind the names on Layham War Memorial.
Giovanni’s Peru Appeal In July 2013 a group of 22 students and 4 staff from this College will be working in a Special Needs school in Lima, Peru, continuing on from a project that we started in 2006.

They would also like to thank all those who kindly donated to the East Anglian Air Ambulance in her memory, which amounted, in total, to £366.20. Janet & Neville Briggs, Paul & Marjorie Rose & family
Layham Playgroup Happy New Year! Welcome back to all our children and a Happy New Year to everyone. A special welcome to all the new children who have joined us at Layham Playgroup this term. We hope you all enjoy your time with us and soon feel part of the Playgroup family. The children have all settled back in well and have been enjoying telling us all about their festive celebrations. This half term we will be thinking about our pets and animals, starting with animals that live in cold countries and how to care for our animals in the cold. The children made some bird feeders which we put in the garden to help look after the birds in the cold. We have enjoyed looking at the birds come and eat the tasty seeds. The snow also provided a great opportunity to play in the snow, making snow angels and investigating melting ice. We also thought about how we can keep ourselves warm in the winter, and enjoyed making some soup and toast for our snack. Bingo Night in the Planning Following our successful Bingo Night last year we are busy in the process of organising another one on Friday 22nd March. This will be another fun evening with games and delicious food for only £10 per ticket. More details to follow next month but please call us or look on our website for more details. Open Day Layham Playgroup is a small, friendly playgroup situated in a beautiful countryside setting. We are holding an Open Day on Tuesday 12th March from 10.00am-1200pm.

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Councillor Riley reported that there are currently 259 homes in the District which have remained empty for two years or more. In an endeavour to encourage landlords to rent or sell them they will incur 150% Council Tax and Mid-Suffolk Councillors are wielding the big stick over under performance by the Revenues & Benefits Partnership. Councillor Grandon had provided a written report which included information on planning applications and the changes to Council Tax. Councillor Byrne asked that the meadow at the back of East House be referred to as Cock Meadow, not Cox Meadow, as it was named in the 1600s. Councillor M. Munson advised that the meetings she was attending at the moment were of a confidential nature relating to finance etc. and how South Suffolk Leisure are progressing and details of the housing board.

Councillor Byrne requested that the following information pertaining to the cesspit be included under this item: Hadleigh Rugby Football Club had written to the Town Clerk regarding their financial contribution towards the cesspit works at Layham Road as they have raised concerns as to whether the correct building regulations were sought and on-going problems with smell. They had been advised that a new trap had been fitted by the Town Council’s contractors at an extra cost of £500 and no complaints from other users regarding smell had been received. Regarding building regulations these were apparently not required due to the

location of the cesspit. The Rugby Club advised that they had carried out an independent assessment but having contacted the Town Council’s contractor there was felt to be no reason to question the work already carried out.

BUDGET 2013/14 The Clerk provided a verbal update for Councillors on the changes that have been made to the Tax Base following the recent Government changes. This change has culminated in the Town Council’s tax base being reduced from 2891.41 Band D equivalent properties to 2398.05 which will significantly impact on future budgets. The Clerk will call an emergency Finance Meeting early in the New Year to discuss these changes and for the Committee to decide where budgets can be reduced in order that the residents of Hadleigh do not face a large rise in the Town Council’s proportion of the Council Tax through no fault of Hadleigh Town Council. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8.00pm Please write to Mrs. Carol A. Bailey BA(Hons) Town Clerk, Hadleigh Town Council, The Guildhall Hadleigh IP7 5DN if you are part of a voluntary organisation or community group wishing to be considered for a grant including the following information: • The specific amount of the grant • What the funding is for • Breakdown of costs and any funds already raised • How the project will benefit Hadleigh and its residents.

Beaumont School Report As you may or may not know Beaumont school was successful in gaining funding from the British Council to lead a Comenius project which involves schools from the European Community. The grant comes directly from Europe and we are lucky that it is one area of funding which has been Nursery children playing in the snow... protected during the recent financial turmoil. The schools in the partnership come from seven different countries, with a range of differing social and cultural backgrounds, each with their own strengths and achievements. The countries taking part are England, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, France, Sweden and Norway. A set of study visits to each country will enable teachers to learn about each other and explore the learning experiences in depth at a professional level in the different contexts. Each school will identify practice of which they are proud and has a significant impact on children’s learning, which can then be shared amongst the partners. Our next study visit will be to France in March. The children will also be actively involved in the project by helping to host visiting teachers, in June this year and taking part in demonstrations. The focus for the participating schools has been the work that goes on in Early Years education (Nursery and Reception classes). At Beaumont we believe that Early Years education is of vital importance in a child’s education. It forms the building blocks of skills and knowledge that can be developed in later years. Here at Beaumont we feel privileged to have excellent Nursery and Reception classes and feel we can share our good practice with our European neighbours, at the same time as learning from their strengths. We currently have some spaces available in our popular Busy Bear’s Nursery. Your child is able to access government funding and start in our Nursery the term after they turn three, the next intake being in April of this year. In our Busy Bear’s Nursery class the children learn through play. We provide a stimulating learning environment, where the staff work in partnership with the parents to support the child’s developmental needs. We have fantastic facilities in large bright and airy rooms. The ‘messy’ room having sand, water, painting, playdough, drawing, puzzles, counting objects and many more... The carpeted story room has books, computer, CD player, wooden blocks, train tracks and car mats. Our large garden is well stocked with bats and balls, obstacle course, wooden blocks, tricycles and role play houses. If you are interested in your child attending our nursery, please contact the school Tel. 01473 825120, to arrange an informal visit where you can meet the nursery teacher and have any of your questions answered.

Nayland Farmers’ Market
The first farmers' market of the present time was started in Bath in Somerset some 16 years ago and it is still going today. In fact it is one of the largest in the country. 16 years later the farmers' market has arrived in Nayland. The market will be held on the 3rd Saturday in each month at the Village hall off Church Street, Nayland. Entry will be free of charge. There will be around 20 stalls manned by local farmers and other local food producers drawn from Nayland and the surrounding district with traders coming from an area no greater than 25 miles from the village. The food on sale will therefore be fresh, not blighted by excessive travelling miles and will be sold by the people who reared it, grew it, cured it, cooked it or generally produced it and who will be able to answer any questions about its content or provonance. One thing that can be guaranteed is that there will be no horseflesh in any of the burgers or sausages offered for sale there. There will be beef, pork, lamb, home made cakes, hand made bread with only flour, water, yeast and salt, no preservatives or other rubbish. There will be oven ready meat pies, Jams, marmalades, chutney, chocolate, fruit & veg, honey, cheese, sausages, crafts, specialist teas, specialist coffees, and many others. There will also be a tea bar offering high quality tea, coffee, home made cakes, filled rolls, soups and the chance for a chat and a sit down. Farmers' Markets usually prove to be local community assets and the hope is that this one will too. The traders will be doing their very best to produce a variety of high quality food, drinks and crafts at prices which are attractive because there will be no wholesalers or middle men to take a cut. Traders will be relying on the local villagers to support their efforts. This is Nayland's market, it needs Naylands support. Any producers interested in having a stall ring 07513 464 567

Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) is capable of causing serious illness and death in cats that become permanently infected. In 2008 it was estimated that 1-2% of cats in the UK were infected with FeLV with the most common route of transmission being saliva from a persistently infected cat - this means mutual grooming, sharing of feed bowls and bite wounds can lead to infection. Contact with infected urine and faeces can transmit infection and it is also possible for a female cat to transmit infection to her kittens either in the womb or via her milk. There is no one specific sign or symptom of infection, generally a persistently infected cat will deteriorate over time and lose weight, become lethargic and have a poor appetite. Anaemia is not uncommon and certain types of cancer may also develop. Diagnosis of FeLV is by blood test. To date there is currently no treatment to cure this infection, maintaining a good quality of life for as long as is possible being the only course. Sadly, euthanasia will be the end result. So, it can be seen that prevention is the key to this disease and the good news is that vaccines do exist. Your veterinary surgeon will be able to discuss your cat’s lifestyle with you and whether vaccination and blood testing may be appropriate. In the case of a positive blood test result your vet will discuss further options. Highcliff Veterinary Practice, 96 High Street, Hadleigh, IP7 5EN Tel: 01473 822704 www.highcliffvets.com

Admissions to Schools in Suffolk 2014/2015 As an academy, we have some increased responsibilities and freedoms. Academies are their own admissions authority and have responsibility for reviewing their admissions criteria. As an academy, Hadleigh High School needs to review the admissions criteria for our school ensuring that our criteria are always within the legal guidelines and meet the needs of our community. The governors of Hadleigh High School remain fully committed to ensuring that children in our catchment area have the best chance of attending Hadleigh High School - their local school. It is, therefore, the governors' intention to ensure that our admissions criteria for 2014-15 comply with those of the local authority which are designed to ensure school places are offered to children in a fair way. The criteria for the local authority have just been published and opened to consultation until 28th February 2013. We intend to adopt the same criteria: If a school is oversubscribed (this means when there are more applications than there are places available) the academy will use its oversubscription criteria (the same as those of the local authority) to decide which children should get the places. By law, there are certain children who must be considered first. Each school has a PAN or Pupil Admission Number – the number of pupils admitted to a Year Group. This number is determined by DfE criteria. The PAN for Hadleigh is 168 pupils per year group. Below is a copy of the proposed Admissions policy for 2014/15.
Proposed Admissions Policy for Hadleigh High School 2014/15 (based on the Suffolk County Council Model) If the number of applications for the school is greater than its Published Admission Number (PAN), we use our admissions oversubscription criteria to decide who gets a place. Children who have a Statement of Special Educational Needs which names the school must by law be offered a place at that school. The following admissions oversubscription criteria show the order of priority for places at community and voluntary controlled schools (and at those foundation/trust schools and academies where it has been agreed that Suffolk County Council will manage their admissions arrangements). For entry year applications, these criteria will be applied according to the circumstances existing at the specified closing date. 1. Children in care (Looked After Children) and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order). 2. Children who are brothers and sisters of, or who live as a family at the same address as, pupils who are already at the school or who have already been offered a place, and who will still be there at the time of admission. Priority will be given, where necessary, to applications where there is the smallest age gap. If you have more than one child at the school, please name the youngest one. 3. Children who are ordinarily resident in the catchment area. Places will be allocated in the following priority order: Children who live nearest to the school. We will measure the distance by a straight line (‘as the crow flies’). All straight line distances are calculated electronically by the local authority (LA) using data provided jointly by the Post Office and Ordnance Survey. The data plots the coordinates of each property and provides the address-point between which straight line distance is measured and reported to three decimal places. Where there is more than one home within a single building (for apartments) we will measure to a single point within that building irrespective of where those homes are located. 4. Children who live outside the school’s catchment area in the same priority order as set out above (3).
If you have any views regarding this matter please feel free to share these with Mr. Elton D'Souza co Hadleigh High School, High Lands Road, Hadleigh, IP7 5HU no later than 28th February 2013 28

Winter Walking at its Best! And Anytime of course…. The Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is pleased to launch a series of five FREE walks in the Stour Valley and encourages everyone to ‘get out’, use their sense of adventure and enjoy the Stour Valley countryside at its wintery best! These circular Walks Off The Stour Valley Path will introduce you to the character of the different local areas, help you explore the smaller tributary valleys off the river Stour, and show off some hidden treasures, and are a pleasure to enjoy at all times of the year. The walks introduce you to the Upper Stour near Haverhill, the Glem Valley near Boxted and Glemsford, Belchamp Brook near Sudbury, the Box Valley from Stoke by Nayland and the Brett Valley from Stratford St Mary. Refreshment stops along the way include The Swan at Stratford St Mary and The Crown at Stoke by Nayland. The walks are a variety of lengths so you will be able to choose the ones that best suit your abilities. They can be downloaded from www.dedhamvalestourvalley.org/publications/recreationguides or obtained from the AONB office. Cllr Nigel Chapman, Chairman of the AONB and Stour Valley Joint Advisory Committee, said: “These walks are a really great way for people to explore the Stour Valley and we thank our volunteers who helped devise the walks plus The Crown and The Swan for their support in producing the guides”. The Stour Valley Path itself is a popular long-distance path running the full length of the river valley and is 63-miles in total. It runs from Newmarket in the north-west to Manningtree in the south-east, following the valley of the River Stour from near the source to the estuary. It passes through some of the most attractive countryside in East Anglia, including ‘Constable Country’ within the Dedham Vale AONB towards the south-east end. The rolling landscape passes through woods, riverside meadows, arable fields and along track-ways. The walker is able to discover hidden treasures of wildlife, landscape and vernacular building style. Of particular interest is the variety of churches, from those serving the humble Saxon hamlets, to the grand ‘Wool Churches’ of the bigger villages, reflecting the past vagaries of the rural economy in this ancient and fascinating landscape. And after sampling the delights of these circular walks you may later feel up to the challenge of the Stour Valley Path itself!

Newly Appointed 2013 Show Director The Hadleigh Farmers Agricultural Association (HFAA) organisers of the Hadleigh Show have recently voted Clare Lock as the first ever Female Show Director for the 174th Annual Show which will be held on 18th May 2013. With Nicola Currie as the first ever female Chairman of the HFAA in 2012 there are now two women proud to be at the helm of this traditional agricultural show. Clare Lock (nee Warnes) was born in Hadleigh and raised locally in Thorpe Morieux she was a member of Lavenham Young Farmers from the age of 14 and went on to be a member of Stowmarket YFC where she met her now husband and later she became the Suffolk YFC Chairman and Eastern Area Secretary. Clare is the Business Services Director for local manufacturing company ‘Hadleigh Castings Ltd’ where she has worked for the last 12 years. Clare is also a professional milliner and runs The Suffolk Hat Company in her ‘spare’ time. Married to local Agricultural Contractor Chris Lock they also have 4 year old twins to keep them busy. Clare has appointed Paul Gillies of Gillies Fencing as her assistant and together they are very enthusiastic with the support of a very good Show Committee to be putting on such a great event for the local community. Clare states “It is a great privilege to have been voted in as the 2013 Show Director. Not only that but to be the first Female Show Director is a tremendous honour and I hope to do a great job for the HFAA”.
2013 Show – Families and Farming: Preparations for the 2013 show are already well underway and Clare has some very exciting plans to encourage families to the show to see the livestock. The Main Attraction has been booked and we hope you will be very pleased to welcome the Jason Smyth Adrenalin Tour, have a look at http://www.adrenalinetour.co.uk/ for a sneaky peak! We also welcome back some favourites with the Local Hunts and Rescue, Falconry and Ferrets plus we have a Dog and Duck Show and two displays from East Anglian Fire Service. The New Hadleigh Young Farmers will also be entertaining us with Lawn Mower Racing and a Tug of War Competition. There are a number of attractions to the outside areas this year with Richard Savoury and his fantastic Sheep Show http://www.thesheepshow.co.uk/ not to mention the Flying Fergies who do a great (almost death defying!!) display of surfing behind their vintage Fergies whilst raising money for charity and a Farmyard Animals Petting Area. Clare’s theme for 2013 is Families and Farming with a greater emphasis on encouraging children of all ages to the showground. Hopefully there will be a Land Train transporting people around the show and a children’s passport which they can get stamped at particular points of interest and when completed can be exchanged for a prize. We would be very pleased to hear from you and always try to accommodate good suggestions for change – please email clarelock@googlemail.com if you have any suggestions or comments

The small hamlet of Darmsden lies a few kilometres from Barking and Needham Market and has been linked to Barking for hundreds of years. This, however, is set to change. The new Parish of Darmsden has been created by Mid Suffolk District Council. It will encompass an area between Barking and Baylham, running from the B1113 to Tarston Farm. It will be the second smallest parish in Mid Suffolk, with 17 properties and 36 electors, and becomes Mid Suffolk’s 124th parish. A major factor in the creation of the parish is that the residents of Darmsden pay Council Tax to Barking Parish Council. However they rarely see the benefits of this as Barking is larger and therefore needs more funding. For this reason, it was decided to create a separate Parish of Darmsden so the residents could monitor their own funding and better distribute their monetary assets. Darmsden and Barking have a long history. In records dating back to 1066 Darmsden is described as a ‘Manor of 60 acres held by 1 free man’. The records however do not state whether Darmsden was considered part of Barking until it is described in 1901 as a ‘settlement occupying SE corner of Barking Parish’. Despite the long unity of the two villages, consultation carried out by Mid Suffolk Council has shown that Darmsden and Barking are ready to be separated. From the 11 responses from Darmsden residents to the question “Should a separate Parish be created?” 10 of those voted in favour with only one person against the decision. It was the same in Barking with the majority of people in favour of the new Parish. Mid Suffolk District Council agreed that Darmsden has a separate identity and is a distinct community, which should be run by its own Parish Meeting. Ray Melvin, Chairman of the Community Governance Review Working Group, says “On visiting the area and hearing the views of the local people, the decision of the working group became inevitable. We quickly recognised that Darmsden is already a separate community and has a character all its own. Our decision to form this new parish only serves to confirm this. All of us at Mid Suffolk wish Darmsden and its parishioners every good fortune in the future. The creation of the new Parish was formally confirmed by the Council as its meeting last night (20th December) and will take effect from 1st April 2013.

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre Christmas is but a dream now and we are all back to normal at The Centre but, I must say I’m glad that I’m not a real hairy hoof like the rest of the Herd who have had to weather out in the fields with all of this rain and snow! I know the field cleaning team have had their work cut out trying to do a good job with all of the mud, and more mud, in the vicinity of the gateways! Is has been impossible to get the sweeper into any of the fields so they have had to do it all the hard way: makes me glad to be in my nice dry room, just watching it all. I think they will have their work cut out to get the fields back to normal in the Spring. Whilst I think of it, I’d better keep you in the frame as to who is with whom now-a-days. I can report that since the loss of our beloved Shannon, Parys has shared a field with Thyme and it has been good to see how their relationship has blossomed although, on the quiet, I think Parys is the boss! Girl Power and all that! Likewise, Charlie, Bob and Rupert have been getting on well together although they often have a mad moment when a chase starts and I must say by the time it’s over I’m not sure who was chasing whom and for that matter neither do they it seems but, at least it keeps them amused. I’m pleased to say that Rocky has settled back with us and is once again sharing a field with his friend Jet, who I think, on the quiet, has missed his company: Bob did share with Jet during Rocky’s absence though, so he wasn’t left alone. Otherwise, no other changes to report in that Holly, Fleur, Camilla and Squidgy are about the same. Our Helpers have certainly had their work cut out grooming the horses and ponies in preparation for riding and I’m sure they are looking forward to the Spring when, hopefully, the weather improves thus making the task less onerous. For those of you who like to plan your diary I’m pleased to say that the Events Calendar for 2013 is now published on our Web Site and will be updated as and when any changes occur: the full year Term Dates are also available from this site so that these, too, can be entered into your diaries. My guess is that some of you may well have been busy making and bottling various preserves and those with green fingers will be turning their thoughts to the greenhouse and thinning out your seedlings for the planting season. We in turn are already turning our thoughts to the sales stand, so if you are able to spare either preserves or plants we will be more than willing to accept them so sell in aid of The Centre, so, don’t dump it, give it to us! Well, it’s back to work for me, no chilling out for a while and if the weather stays as it is, I might be a tad busy me thinks! Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473.824172

Once again we have said goodbye to the children who visited with us at Christmas and now look forward to the next group who will be arriving this summer on July 7th. Once again we hope to bring a group of 12 girls and 8 boys. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us during 2012 and hope that this will continue throughout the next year, without your support we will not be able to help these children. This year will be particularly challenging for us as we are breaking new ground, bringing children from a different area of Belarus and also from a school where no children have yet been abroad for Health Recuperation. In addition we face the increased costs as we will now have to pay an additional £86.00 per child and interpreter for a UK Entry Visa - in the past the children’s visa’s were given free of charge. To help with the additional fundraising we would like to open our Charity Shop located in Needham Market for an additional day. To do this we need more volunteers. Sessions for volunteers are 10:00am till 1:0 pm and 1:00pm to 4:00pm and there are always two people on duty, if you think you could help we would love to hear from you, no experience necessary!. We always offer a fantastic range of new and nearly new clothing, toys, books, bric a brac and a whole host of items you might not expect to see so why not give us a look? We would welcome your unwanted Christmas Gifts which can be reused as draw prizes or sold in the shop. We are always pleased to receive your donations, in particular all clothing & textiles whether saleable or not as we can also raise extra funds through our recycling program. If you cannot get to the shop please do give me a call and we will be happy to arrange collection from you if at all possible. March 16th sees the return of The “Easter Bunny” Chocolate Bingo at the Needham Market Community Centre. Come along and not only have fun but maybe win all your Easter Eggs in advance! The November Christmas Chocolate Bingo was sold out so remember to get your tickets well in advance. Tickets are £6.00 each, half price for under 10’s and as usual include a hot meal with desert. Tickets are available from The CCLL Charity Shop in Needham Market, The Tourist Office in Stowmarket (Opposite Asda) or by calling 01449 760343 or 07974 424374 As always our grateful thanks go to all our supporters, volunteers who help to staff the shop and to all of you who donate the goods we sell, without you all we could not continue.

Hadleigh Community Choir Now in our Second Year Do you sing? Would you like to sing with us? If you would like to join a group of people who love singing together and giving public performances for charity and other good causes then why not join us? We are serious about singing but we also aim to make the choir experience fun and rewarding for everyone associated with Hadleigh Community Choir. Our music is light, popular, contemporary and classic. This year we are being led by our ever popular Musical Director Simon Thompson, and accompanied by the amazing Graham Holmes. We will be singing great music at community events and at three or more major concerts in 2013. Anyone, male or female, between the age of 16 and 80, is welcome to try us out, even if you aren’t sure about your singing ability. You will have time to learn and improve your singing before you take part in a concert, but you will need to put in the work if you want to reach a performance standard. Our membership list is open to new members until the end of March, after that new members will not be able to join until September of this year. We rehearse during the main school terms on Thursday evenings in Hadleigh’s United Reform Church at 7.30pm.

Bildeston Waytes raises £1,000 Founded by Maurice Ratliff over 25 years ago, the Bildeston Waytes annual carol event was held in the Chamberlain Hall on 21st December with between 70 and 80 orchestral players and singers entertaining a capacity audience. The festive atmosphere was enhanced with some great musical moments from the choir and orchestra, and humorous encouragement from conductor Ian McCrae and event organiser Nansi Browne which resulted in impressive audience participation. We do it for fun but a net surplus on ticket sales together with a retiring collection from audience and performers enables the making of a charitable donation. This year the chosen charity was Jessie’s Fund which provides music therapy to children with terminal or life-limiting illness in children’s hospices throughout the UK. We are grateful to Ian; Nansi; participating musicians and singers from around the area; the bar staff at the Chamberlain Hall; The Crown Hotel for serving supper for performers; and the audience who, having joined in the traditional carols with great enthusiasm, dug deep into their pockets to support a very worthwhile charity. We were able to send a cheque for £1,000. For more information about Jessica’s Fund www.jessiesfund.org.uk

News from St Mary’s Primary School Welcome back to all our families after the busy Christmas holiday! After the Christmas festivities at the end of last term, life at school is returning to normal! The children have started new topics and themes for their class work. The Year 5 children have enjoyed learning about sound in science. They made string telephones to send messages with! The children in Year 1 are focusing on the circus and the children are studying the inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci in Year 2. Throughout Key Stage 2, the children are focusing on history, including ‘The Industrious Victorians’ and ‘The Hidden Treasures of the Pharaohs’. The children enjoy lots of cross-curricular opportunities and ways of linking their learning. For example, the Year 6 children have just made Victorian toys in their Design Technology lessons. Thanks once again to all our visitors who have helped in Worship this month. Already this term we have been delighted to welcome Reverend Jim Dalgleish, Jackie Cork and Pastor Chris Todd into school. They have been helping the children to think about ‘compassion’, which is our Christian Value for this half term. Pastor Chris told the story of the Good Samaritan before introducing Jenny Frost to the children. Jenny is a ‘street pastor’ in Ipswich, helping those in need throughout the night. It was great for the children to see how the message in the story can be seen in the way we help others in our lives. Well done to all the St Mary’s ‘stars of the week’, who have been rewarded with achievement certificates so far this term. We give out certificates for good work; for demonstrating the school’s Christian Values through good behaviour; and for displaying good ‘learning behaviour’. In order to develop the children’s ‘learning behaviour’ and skills, we have introduced a programme called Building Learning Power across the whole school. This programme helps to build up the children’s perseverance, team work, listening skills and ability to concentrate on a task without being distracted. There are displays throughout the school and the children are keen to talk about how well they are learning!
£700 raised at the Charlie Haylock Supper and Talk for Age UK Suffolk The 95 Club (Sudbury) organised a special fundraising evening with guest speaker Charlie Haylock who did a brilliant performance of his show ‘An Eccentric Look at Suffolk’. The event which included a buffet supper and raffle took place at The United Reformed Church Hall, School Street, Sudbury last year. £700 was raised which will go towards the services provided for older people in Suffolk. Maggie James, Fundraising Officer said “it was a great evening and Charlie entertained the audience with his wit and humour and explained the origins of the Suffolk dialect as well as other regional accents. The evening raised £700 which was fantastic and we thank The 95 Club for organizing the event, all those who attended and Charlie, who is a Patron of Age UK Suffolk, for his dedicated performance”.
Local slimming expert guarantees a slimmer new you for 2013! People in Hadleigh can look forward to a healthier, happier New Year with the help of a local slimming expert. This year, Yvonne, who runs Slimming World groups in Hadleigh, is delighted to reveal a brand new package for slimmers, the Ultimate Slimming Guide for 2013. The package was created to get slimmers off to a flying start after research by Slimming World, the UK’s largest weight-loss organisation, revealed that a good first week weight loss as well as regular attendance at group were the factors most likely to lead to long-term weight loss success. She says: “Slimming World has been helping people to lose weight for more than 43 years so we’ve learned a thing or two about supporting slimmers to achieve their dreams, including a deep understanding of the emotional as well as the practical aspects of losing weight. If anyone in Hadleigh is pledging to slim down and become more active in 2013, Slimming World is the place to be to make sure their dreams turn into a reality. “This year we’ve created a brand new pack for members that includes all of our very best advice – all based on the latest research as well as our decades of experience. It combines top tips for a fabulous first week weight loss, simple shopping advice, and small swaps that will make a big difference to your waistline and help you to form healthy habits that will last a lifetime, all as well as introducing members to Slimming World’s healthy eating plan, Food Optimising.” Yvonne adds: “Most people who embark on New Year diets fail within days or weeks because they follow plans that are too restrictive and leave them feeling hungry or deprived so they’re impossible to keep up. But Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan isn’t a diet and you don’t have to count and measure everything you eat. Instead by satisfying your appetite on everyday foods like fruit and veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat and fish, which are filling yet naturally low in calories, it’s possible to lose weight without ever having to go hungry or feel deprived.” Every new member will receive a copy of the Ultimate Slimming Guide for free when they join their local group. Combined with the support of the group, this slimming ‘bible’ will give everyone who walks through the doors the very best possible change of a great first week weight loss meaning they’re more likely to achieve their weight-loss target, according to Slimming World’s research. And the new guide isn’t the only reason Yvonne believes Now is a great time to start slimming. This January Slimming World also launched its new members’ mobile website, Lifeline-on-the-go, which is free of charge to members. The new site enables slimmers to access information and inspirational features from their smartphones 24/7. As well as this package, new members will get the support of highly-trained Consultant Yvonne: “I’ve lost weight with Slimming World myself so I know exactly what it feels like, from feeling nervous about walking into the group on that first day through to the joy of reaching your weight-loss target. Everyone in the group is there for the same reason – to lose weight and become happier and healthier – and each week we help and support each other by sharing advice, ideas, tips, recipes and more. I’m so sure that slimmers in Hadleigh will be successful that anyone who doesn’t lose weight in the first four weeks, can have their money back!” Anyone who’d like to join the Hadleigh Slimming World group can pop along every Thursday at 9.30am, 5.30pm or 7.30pm at Hadleigh Pool & Leisure centre or for more information call Yvonne on 07971 921093 or visit www.slimmingworld.com

Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce People in Hadleigh are grappling with a tricky planning problem; how to get council planners and councillors to adapt to new situations rather than follow an historic and outdated path. It’s simple. It’s all about supermarkets. Some years ago an inspector at a public inquiry found that Hadleigh was in need of a second supermarket. This was used to support an application from Tesco to build behind Hadleigh High Street. This was an issue which split the town with much publicity from the pro Tesco and the anti Tesco brigades. But while this has gone on, Morrisons have nipped in and redeveloped an existing site in Hadleigh and provided the required extra supermarket space. This store opened on Monday January 14th but Tesco is still fighting for its plans which, if passed by Babergh planning committee, could put two new supermarkets into the town, far beyond the recommended amount of food shopping space. There is already a large Co-op on the High Street. Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce is concerned that planners may continue to support the Tesco application even though they can no longer quote the planning inquiry findings in its support. The Chamber believes that three supermarkets would be deadly for the town’s retailers. It feels that those people who wanted an extra supermarket now have one and that any plans for more retail space should be turned down, because the situation has changed fundamentally. There are other problems, not least with access roads and increased traffic, but these become irrelevant if it is accepted that the whole scheme has been superseded by intervening events. So far the Chamber has not found any mechanism for rescinding the recommendations of a public inquiry. Even if it could find one it may take too long to avoid the Tesco application being agreed by Babergh District Council at the upcoming review meeting. For this reason the Chamber feels it really is time for planning officers and councillors to do the right thing for Hadleigh. All they need to do is abide by the public inquiry findings, which would mean stopping any other supermarket being built in the town. Tony Addison, President, Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce

Calling Ex Servicemen and Women of Hadleigh Within the Hadleigh & District Branch of the RBL there is a small ‘band of brothers’ known as the ‘Branch’ section which is made up of mainly ex serviceman. The focus for the ‘Branch’ section is three fold; firstly to be the focal point for the community annual remembrance ceremony, secondly to organise the community annual poppy appeal and finally, to provide a focal point for ex serviceman in the community. Remembrance and poppy appeal activities only take place for a couple of weeks around November. For the rest of the year the Branch section organises monthly meetings and events. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at 19:30. A guest speaker is invited to each meeting. This year the Branch is planning to visit the Imperial War Museum and the Tomb of the unknown Warrior in London, the National Arboretum in Staffordshire and a WWI Battlefield Tour to Belgium and France. In recent years membership of the Branch section has waned as WW1 & WW2 veterans have declined in numbers. However, we feel that the RBL and the support that it provides for our armed forces and veterans is as crucial today as it has ever been since it was formed in 1921 and so we are looking to attract new members. We are looking for anyone who supports the RBL cause to come along and join our group. Our next meeting is on Tue 11 Feb 13 at 19:30hrs in the RBL on George Street. We will have a guest speaker giving a very interesting and informative talk on the origins of the RBL and the Poppy appeal.

SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN (12A) Friday 8th February at 7.30 pm This delightful quirky feel-good British comedy stars Ewan McGregor as an uptight fishing scientist who is dragged into a wild scheme to introduce salmon fishing to the Yemen – the result of a Sheik's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert. In short the story is an upstream journey of faith and fishing to prove that the impossible is possible!
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (12A) Friday 22nd February at 7.30 pm This is a romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. Owen Wilson plays a hack screenwriter, Gil, who is revising the first draft of a book while visiting Paris with his fiancee. Gil's holiday is transformed when, on the stroke of midnight (over a number of nights) he is transported back to Paris in the twenties, meeting a Who's Who of cultural heroes including F Scott Fitzgerald - 94 minutes of light-hearted pleasure! Please note it is possible that these films will be shown in the United Reformed Church (next to the Ansell Centre) due to major refurbishments taking placed at our usual venue. Admission charges remain unchanged - £3.50 for adults; £2.50 for accompanied children.

We also took a whole school trip to the Pantomime to see Rapunzel and the Rascal Prince at Bury St Edmunds Theatre Royal. The children entered into the spirit of Panto, and two were called up on stage to help the cast with a song. To our delight this week we have been given a lot of snow to play with, the grounds looked beautiful, and we were pleased to see snow angels arrive complete with wellie boots! We would love to wish you all a Happy New Year, and to say that if you would like to come along and meet us in 2013, please phone the school, on 01473 823309 to make an arrangement.

Hadleigh & District Twinning Association Friday May 3rd will see the HDTA leaving Hadleigh very early for the coach journey to Rousies. We will be continuing the tradition of this biennial visit to cement our friendship with our twin towns of Rousies, Ferriere la Grande & Ferriere la Petit in northern France. Some of our members have been making this exchange visit for more than 30 years but there is room for new members. We are hosted in France for the weekend by families, couples and solo members. They return to us on alternate years when we give them our hospitality. It is not necessary to be a host to be a member. In order to fund this we hold a variety of events and our next one is a whist drive on Saturday Feb 9th in the Community Room behind the Ansell Centre starting at 7.30. Then in March we see the return of JT Steppers to talk and demonstrate us through some simple line dances with a few for the more experienced. This will be in the Ansell Hall on Saturday March 23rd. Details and tickets from Kath at The Framestore 822334. Kathleen Freeth
Rotary Review CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONS - THANK YOU HADLEIGH !!! Once again Hadleigh has proved its generosity by providing one of the highest collections ever achieved by Rotary totalling ÂŁ1828.45! The house to house raised ÂŁ1158.76 whilst two collections in the high street produced ÂŁ669.69 making the soaking received by Father Christmas and his helpers on the Saturday before Christmas worthwhile. The float and Father Christmas visited many children during the week and it is hoped that no-one was disappointed with those missed on the rounds able to see him in the High Street. All the proceeds will be distibuted to local charities and among the beneficiaries so far are Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding, EACH (Ipswich), Hadleigh Community Transport Group, Macmillan Cancer Support (Suffolk), The Porch Project and Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Welfare Committee. The Club would also like to thank the following who provided equipment and help without which the collections would not take place: Ainger Holbrows, Hambling Utility Services, Hadleigh Castings Ltd., Hadleigh Bowling Club plus a number of friends of Rotary who assisted in collecting George Wyatt, Paul Davis, Colin Brown, Claire Coster and Pam Bennett. LIGHTING UP CEREMONY: This was another great success with Rotary providing Father Christmas to complement the Reindeer. The Club's share of the monies collected has been distributed between Independent Age and AgeUK Suffolk. CLUB EVENTS: The traditional New Year Champagne Brunch was held at the Kersey Bell this year and was well attended by Rotarians and partners. Everyone appeared to enjoy themselves and our hosts are to be complimented on the excellent food and service. SPEAKER: The first speaker of 2013 was Tony Addison of Free Rein who is also the new President of the Chamber of Commerce. After working for BT for many years Tony took redundancy and set up Free Rein with two ex BT colleagues about 8 years ago. It is a small high tech company, based on the Hadleigh Industrial Estate, with 9 employees engaged in building and managing websites. The Company has a high reputation holding contracts with Government departments such as the Cabinet Office and with large Companies such as National Express, RBS and Motorola as well as with many local businesses. He also spoke about the Chamber which has about 130 members, is becoming a Community Interest Company and has a strong voice for local business fighting Business crime, parking charges and promoting economic development in Hadleigh and Suffolk. MEMBERSHIP: Please check out our website to find out about Rotary and particularly Associate Membership. This might interest you. If Hadleigh Rotary Club is to continue its charity work like the Christmas Collection it needs new members urgently. A New Year Resolution might be to find out more about Rotary in Hadleigh and how you may help.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club A belated Happy New Year and a wonderful growing season to you all, one that I hope will dull the disappointment of the 2012 weather and resulting harvests. Of course there is no report as we do not meet in January, but as I walked around my garden on the morning on 6th Jan. I got to musing about the beginning of another growing season having spied the newly emerging aconites with their cheery faces and even the spears of snowdrops and early daffs bravely pushing up. I remembered seventy odd years ago my mother always pointed out the aconites and one year at her surprise when they appeared before Christmas - so I know this year they are right on time. That made me think how much we take for granted, o.k. the weather patterns may well have changed but we still expect regeneration don't we? As gardeners our awe is probably more centred on what will finish on our plates or in our vases! It is though worth thinking of the miracle of nature itself- all those millions of buds getting ready to unfurl and produce their fantastic displays, whether for food or just amazing beauty of nature itself. And what about those beautifully illustrated and tempting packets that appear everywhere, not to mention the catalogues that drop through the door with the holiday brochures just after Christmas. OK a bean or a pea doesn't seem too astonishing as their ultimate size is not very dramatically different, I'm sure we've all seen them sprout, sandwiched in a jam jar with wet blotting paper, in infant school! (Quite possibly the Health and Safety don't allow it anymore!) But what about petunia and nicotiana seeds to name just two - so small they appear more like dust and yet the ability to grow three foot (1 metre) in a season - a miracle indeed from such minute objects. Do any of us JUST STAND AND STARE?? of course not, life is so hectic we just take it all for granted and we are probably too busy fighting weather conditions, slugs, snails, mice, pigeons, aphids, weeds - you name them, aren't we? Still they are all part of nature too!! Anyway - Good Luck and Happy Gardening to you all. Ruth Allen 822323

Recipe for Success
Chocolate Orange and Cardamom Truffles
I am sorry to say that Christmas came and went without so much as a ‘By Your Leave’ and New Year whizzed by without enough time for me to make any resolutions about dieting! Well that’s my excuse for this month’s offering anyway. These truffles are by Sarah Thompson quite simply delicious. They can appear squishy, but they won’t last long enough for anyone to care. Bring out the chocolate, bring on the cream and banish the winter blues! Ingredients 250 gms milk chocolate (30% minimum cocoa solid) 125ml double cream, 1 tsp. maple syrup, golden syrup or honey. Finely grated zest of an orange 12 green cardamom pods, seeds removed and ground. (Time-consuming but so worth it!) Method Break the chocolate into pieces into a heatproof bowl. Pour the cream and syrup or honey into a small saucepan, add the orange zest and ground cardamom and bring to the boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and stir well with a spatula or wooden spoon until chocolate has completely melted. The mixture should be of a smooth consistency. !" # # " $ !" # # " $ Pour this into a bowl, cover and put in fridge overnight. !" # # " $ When mixture is set firm, if a little gooey, use a teaspoon to scoop out small "!" # "" % "!" # "" % "!" # "" % spoons of truffle mix and place into small sweet cases (Partridges sell everything don’t they?) or onto a plate. At this stage, you could roll them in cocoa powder, personally I wouldn’t bother! Re-set the truffles in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts I am writing this and looking out of the window to see if the forecast snow has actually arrived. My garden is full of half done jobs. The summerhouse is half painted, a garden path is partly relaid and the Winter pruning is half done. When it proved to be impossible to work on these jobs I started clearing the flower bed by my garage, because I could do most of that without standing on the soil, but that is also half finished. This bed by the garage wall has some grapes planted at the back and trained on the wall. This imposes some restrictions on what you can plant in it because you need access to the grapes. For years it has been planted with a couple of small euonymus shrubs together with a few aquilegia, a dahlia, and lamium as ground cover. This worked well for quite a time, but then some couch grass appeared in it and flourished. I had a couple of goes at clearing the couch grass and failed therefore I decided to totally clear the bed apart from the grapes and start again. I will keep it clear for a few months before I replant it. Weather Records In December at Kersey there were 92 mm (3.6") of rain, so December was another Very Wet month to complete a very wet year. The final 3 month figure was 240 mm (9.4") which is 160% of the average rainfall. The total rainfall for 2012 was 760 mm (29.9"). This is 21% more than average. Although the official figures said 2012 in East Anglia was the wettest ever, the Kersey records that I use had a higher figure of 774 mm in 2001. This only tells part of the story. You will remember that at the begining of the year we were all worried about hosepipe bans, and the drought. If you add up the rainfall for the 7 months up to and including March 2012 the figure is 233 mm (9.2"). If you add up the rainfall for the 7 months starting April 2012 the figure is 508 mm (20"). So we had twice as much rain in second 7 month period as we had in the first, which is almost unbelievable. In December the maximum temperature was 12 Cel (54F). The minimum was -5 Cel (23F), which are both about normal for December In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 0 Cel (32F), which is the coldest that I have seen for mid January, but we have had several days of practically continuous frost with some lying snow. Hints I thought hard about tips for February, and came to the conclusion that for most people because of the weather the tips I gave for January are still generally applicable. (a) Any Hard Landscaping that you want to do. If you get it done now, then you can enjoy it in the Summer. (b) Clear up any dead plants from the summer (preferably to a compost heap), and clean garden paths that are slippery due to fallen leaves and algae. Wash up empty pots and clean glass in greenhouse or cold frame. (c) Prune fruit trees (NOT plum), and late flowering summer shrubs (NOT the early ones like Forsythia and Kerria, or you will lose the flowers.) (d) Providing we do not get too much rain or hard frost overhaul flower beds containing perennials. Plus I am hoping to get some seed sowing done before February is out, and now is the time to get seed potatoes. Partridges will have a good selection, and if you want to be more adventurous this year the Potato Day at Stonham Barns is on the 9th of February from 9 30 am. John Rye

Dear Sir
Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk
I would like to say a sincere thank you to the kind young lady from Hadleigh who stopped and offered help to me on Saturday 5th January when I was taken ill and was awaiting an ambulance at Sproughton. Sorry I did not ask your name to thank you personally, but it is so good to know people are so willing to help. Sincere thanks, Derek Adams
Dear Sir Dear Sir There is a positive, and a negative to ones life, I shall therefor start with the positive, There comes a time in ones life, and in the hour of need, when something happened, my washing machine gave up the ghost, stopped, never to go again, containing a full load of soaking wet washing, what was I to do? I asked myself, the telephone number came to mind, 822005, Hick's of Hadleigh, I phoned them, I asked have you any washing machines in your shop, Yes was the reply, I said I want one soonest, Can Do!! was the reply, Toby Hicks and his delivery man were in the shop, so able to bring me and the new washing machine back home, after paying for the item. We were able to transfer my washing to the new machine, Job Done!! I would like to thank Toby and the staff for their prompt action, and kindness. I have been a customer of theirs for over 45 years!!! John Caley
Dear Sir Supermarkets 1 Nimby Town 0. By the look of the pre-celebrations which went on this must have been a game the Nimby’s thought they had in the bag! The Nimby’s were fairly good in attack as they hit the woodwork on more than one occasion, however their weak defence let them down. Their once reliable sweeper Terry Babergh was out with disburden which is understandable of course as they will persist in playing in rose tinted glasses. They will just have to pick themselves up from this embarrassment as the next game is against the Tesco Giants. Wayne Woods

In an EADT article recently ‘Tesco store proposal gets the green light’ it was reported “There was overwhelming public opposition to the application yet these views were not taken into consideration, because they weren’t considered to be legitimate planning reasons”. In 2011 at the Hadleigh Tesco planning meeting a similar statement was made when a councillor said, although 90% of the public were against the application, that could not be taken into consideration as it was not a planning reason. Why, therefore, are developers required as part of the application to consult the public, hold exhibitions, petitions and polls to measure the public reaction, and why do the planning departments encourage residents to write in with their views on a development? Surely this is a massive waste of money if, at the end of the day, what the public/electrorate believe is right or wrong for their community carries no weight. It has also been suggested to residents in Hadleigh opposed to the proposed Tesco development on the riverside site that hundreds of letters, our demonstrations, traffic counts, surveys among local shops identifying potential job losses, carried no weight as they had not been carried out by professional companies. Perhaps the local district planning officers could explain to us why there is public consultation and what value it has. I also wonder if councillors should be wasting their time reading planning applications and attending planning meetings at all. Maybe we should leave it all in the hands of the paid planning officers who generally do not live in the communities under discussion and will not have to live with the after-effects of their decisions. Jan Byrne
Dear Sir I am very concerned about the wasteful ways of Babergh District Council and its “management” of car parking, particularly in Hadleigh. We are in a recession. Households, wage earners, taxpayers and non taxpayers alike are making economies in order to feed and clothe their families, and heat their homes. They are cutting back wherever they can just in order to stand still and maintain some semblance of a lifestyle. Recently it was reported in the East Anglian Daily Times that Babergh’s management of car parks in Sudbury, Hadleigh and Lavenham is costing taxpayers £200k a year. How on earth can a cash cow like car parking be run at a loss? It must take a special type of mismanagement to achieve that. But hold on, help may be at hand! For several months now Babergh District Council has been leaving the Street Lights blazing away all night long in Corks Lane and in the empty Bridge St car park across the river. In contrast, the street lights elsewhere are switched off at midnight. It costs TAXPAYERS money to keep lights on all night. (See some attached photo taken w/e 19th Jan). I contacted Babergh several weeks ago to ask why these lights were running all night long. The reply was “that they had been advised by the police and their insurers to keep the lights on because there had been some problems with joyriders in the carpark, and some lead had been nicked from the roof of the council offices”. I have never seen or heard of joyriders there, and I live just around the corner. Why is it necessary to leave the car park lights on if somebody decides to climb on to a roof and pinch some lead? Maybe that is to help the “tea leaves” find their way across the footbridge to the car park without having any Elf ‘n’ Safety issues. I suggest that if the officers and councillors at Babergh are unable to come up with a plan for their next budget which would enable car parking in the district to be run without making a loss, then they should outsource the operation and stop wasting taxpayers hard earned cash. A good start on reducing the losses would be to switch these totally unneccessary lights off now. Owen Neary

Extracts from the Hadleigh Recorder's Report for 2012 _
_
_
_
The first real snow of the winter fell on the night of the 4th February resulting in a covering of nearly four inches. On the 6th, the anniversary of the Queens accession, there was a Civic Service held at St. Mary's Church, with visiting mayors, Babergh and Mid Suffolk council chairmen, and the High Sheriff of Suffolk and the Deputy Lord Lieutenant. Service personel from Wattisham, and the Hadleigh Community school children. Elmsett Brass Band played etc. This was followed by afternoon tea in the Grand Hall. A new overhead gantry spanning the road was constructed to connect Celotex premisses to their new factory at the Industrial Estate. Works began on the new roundabout on the Hadleigh by-pass at the industrial estate junction, in preparation for the new development by Persimon Homes. The contractor was Messrs Breheny. Notice given that the top end of Lady Lane would be closed later this month for some weeks to complete these works. Threadneedle Street partly closed in connection with a new property being build behind the Eight Bells P.H. Friday night 10th, was one of the coldest nights for a long time as temperature droped to minus 15c. Street lighting during part of the night time was switched off in some streets as an economy measure. Into March, and a surprise for the town as Morrison's Supermarkets announce that they are to open within the present Buyright Store in Calais Street. Car parking spaces to be increased. Suffolk was officially now in drought conditions. Edwards furnishers in the High Street closes. A notice states that the business has moved to East Bergholt. For April a hose-pipe ban by Anglian Water was imposed on the 5th - drought conditions prevail. Lady Lane Garage has no petrol to sell, second time in as many weeks. A strike threat by tanker drivers is the cause. Work on new Morrison's Store in Calais Street underway. Raiders removed with a stolen digger, the ATM cash machine from Lloyds TSB Bank in the Market Place at 3.30am on Wednesday 11th. Major damage caused, bank closed and police barriers closed off the Market Place to traffic. A very wet month followed the hose-pipe ban! May. After an evening of heavy rain, and the ground already very wet, the River Brett burst its banks up, and down-stream. Many of the shops displayed bunting, flags etc. in readiness for the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen. Top end of Lady Lane re-opens to traffic after completion of the new roundabout on the by-pass. Two new junctions created, one into Durrants Park, the other into Lady Lane. The Hadleigh Show was held at Holbecks, after doubts earlier about the wet condition of the show-ground; however the event was a big success, and held in good weather. Garry Farm house, in Pond Hall Road was being re-thatched. Into June and the Queen's Jubilee events were affected by poor weather. On Sunday, the High Street was closed to traffic for the 'Big Lunch' people persevered despite the weather. A beacon lighting ceremony the next day was however held in fine weather at Beaumont School. The new QD Store opens in part of the former Buyright Store. Morrison's new store works are well underway. In July the recently closed 'Donkey' in Stone Street, had a new sign stating 'The White Horse' Freehouse, and opening on the 16th of the month. The White Horse was the original name of this P.H., the Donkey was its nickname. A wet spell with periods of heavy rain, continuing the very wet June weather. It was in August that Tesco re-submited a planning application to B.D.C. for the former Brett Works site. The harvest was late starting due to the wet weather. Said to be recorded as the wettest for 100 years. In September an auction was held at the Lady Lane Garage of the garage equipment etc. The petrol sales will be continuing. Demolition began on clearing Place Farm yard buildings in Lady Lane. An exhibition and special services held at St. Mary's Church to mark the 350th anniversary of the Book of Common Prayer. Now onto October and the new Leisure Centre and Gym, Stonehouse Road, was officially opened. The year was coming to a close and in November there were explosions and a major fire at fuel storage tanks on Lady Lane Industrial Estate and ten fire engines attended. The day before a van was burnt out in Raven Way. The Angel Court, Care Home, now administered by a private company. 'CareUK'. For December, two Oak trees on land alongside The Row Chapel, are cut down as they became dangerous. They were planted to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward VII. The River Brett was running high after a wet month, flooding adjacent fields. 2012 locally was the wettest since records began.

The Foresters Friendly Society’s Hadleigh branch, known as Court Princess Royal, have supported the Dame Vera Lynn Trust School with a donation. The school, based at Sproughton, is an independent pre-school for children who have difficulties with movement and co-ordination. Currently, 22 children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities, and their parents and families, are being helped with a range of activities to stimulate the senses, using play and music. Two members of the Foresters attended one of the 2 1/2 hr sessions and watched as 3 children, aged about 3 and accompanied by a parent, used musical instruments to exercise their limbs, identified objects by shape and colour, and completed everyday tasks such as washing hands and choosing flavours of juice. Our photograph shows Sheila Hill, Chairman of Court Princess Royal, presenting the cheque to Sara White, Regional Fundraiser. To the left is Alison Stonham, Principal of the School, and to the right Joyce Dewick, Secretary of Court Princess Royal. As it costs approximately £7,500 per child per year, and the School is a local charity that receives no statutory funding, it relies on the generosity of the local community and groups for support. The School can be contacted on suffolksfp@dvltrust.org.uk or telephone 01473 652880. Joyce Dewick, Secretary, Foresters Friendly Society

News from The Station Designated Public Place Order Goes Live!!!!
Welcome to this month’s news from the Station. On 24th December 2012, the long awaited Designated Public Place Order came into effect for Hadleigh. The map shows the boundary for the order, and I have this readily available at the Police Station should any of you want a closer look. It can be emailed, or I can post a copy to you, just contact me with your request. So, what is a Designated Public Place Order (DPPO)? A DPPO is an order that targets the anti social ‘street drinking’ of alcohol. Babergh District Council has applied for the order and it covers the defined geographical area shown on the map. DPPO’S have been proven to reduce alcohol related anti-social behaviour and tackle underage drinking. Police Officers and PCSO’S have the power to require individuals to stop drinking within the DPPO area and to surrender the alcohol, providing that the officer is in uniform. A person who fails without reasonable excuse to comply with a requirement imposed on them commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding £500. This offence can be dealt by way of summons, a fixed penalty notice, or arrest. In order to enforce this legislation, Police need to show that anti-social behaviour, crime or disorder was occurring at the time of attendance, there is a significant likelihood of anti-social behaviour or disorder, or complaints have been received from the public concerning an ongoing or developing problem which may lead to anti-social behaviour or disorder. It is therefore crucial that you contact Suffolk Police should you feel that alcohol is being consumed and its consumption may lead to issues on the streets. The powers extend to the seizure of open and sealed containers of alcohol, providing we believe that the sealed containers will be opened at that time. I need to stress that Hadleigh does not have a big issue with alcohol consumption on the streets. However, other areas in Suffolk have shown great success, and a reduction in anti-social behaviour, by introducing and enforcing a DPPO. My expectation is that we will now be able to eradicate the small elements of hardened street drinking in the Town that have existed for many years, and reduce the number of drink fuelled nuisance that we experience, mainly through the summer months. This order does not prevent any person from enjoying alcohol in public responsibly, and Officers have all received training to make sure that only those who are causing problems have their drink removed. The order also doesn’t affect pubs or beer gardens, or organised outdoor public events. The Designated Public Place Order compliments existing Police powers. We can now seize alcohol, and disperse those who we believe are going to disrupt the peace and harmony of our Town. Please help us to make this work. Matt PC 1455 Paisley, Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk. Telephone 101 Police Station, Magdalen Road, Hadleigh. Open Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 1pm and 3pm
Some people said we’d never get hanging baskets back into Hadleigh. Some people said we were wasting our time trying but we’ve proved them wrong. This year is our sixth year of putting flowering baskets back into the High Street. Winning system To be fair it all started rather badly and we struggled for two years to get a decent display. But the learning curve was short and we now have a winning system with Ray Brooks doing a great job looking after the 60 or so baskets and John Martin from Claremont Nurseries doing us proud on the planting. Last year our baskets were the brightest and best yet. It’s a bit of an art finding bright manageable flowering plants that will survive the vagaries of our weather in a high street that seems to tunnel the wind. Some baskets do get damaged and others need much coaxing. Thanks to sponsors But, of course, the biggest thanks goes to everyone who helps pay for the annual display. All the shops, all the businesses, clubs and societies as well as private residents who each year contribute to bring the blooms back into Hadleigh. Many towns have stopped bothering; it’s a lot of work to get a scheme like this organised and paid for, meeting health and safety and highways requirements along the way. But with help from the community the small Hanging Gardens of Hadleigh Committee is gearing up for this year. With the backing of Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, volunteers Guy Ormes, Ron Jenkins and Cyndy Hilton get the baskets organised and raise more than £7,000 to pay for them. Listed below are the contributors for 2012, many of whom have been great supporters from the start. If you are not on the list, please consider joining the rest of us to keep flowers in Hadleigh. If you are an existing sponsor then we are hugely grateful and hope you will support the scheme again this year. The normal donation is £50, or multiples of £50, which goes a substantial way to finance a basket, each costing more than £100 to plant and maintain during the summer. 2012 Sponsors: Andrews Butchers; Baskwood Consulting; Bridge Street Allotments; Bromley and Fitch; Chloe Brown; Colin and Cherry Crawford; Cherry and Andy Forbes; Complete Car Services; Co-Op; D J Dunstone; Edgehall Hotel; Free Rein Ltd; Frost Estate Agents; Gro Landscapes; Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce; Hadleigh Dental Surgery; AD and CA Forbes; Hadleigh and District Garden Club; Anthony Hilton; Hadleigh Thrift Shop; Hicks; The Idler; Hadleigh Kitchen & Bedroom Studio; Hadleigh Rotary Club; Hadleigh Pet Supplies; Hadleigh Town Council; Hadleigh Tyre Group; Hadleigh U3A; Lady Diana and JT Hall; B V Hicks Ltd; Highcliff Vets; The late Mrs Eileen Huntsman; Ipswich Building Society; Keith Avis Printers; Kings Head; Lavender Hall Kindergarten; Les Hymas; Moreton Smith & Sands; Partridges; Plant Parts Ltd; Precision Law; Priory Hall Ltd; Brian Riley; Thompson Financial Consulting; James and Sheila Walter; Walter Wright; Roger and Hilary Young.

Georgian England produced a generation of social and political caricaturists who laid the foundations of the modern comic strips and cartoons that we know today. This exhibition at Gainsborough’s House displays the work of Suffolk born caricaturist Henry William Bunbury (1750 – 1811) whose unique take on life, his wit and satirical observations made him a hugely influential figure of his time. The tradition of hard-hitting social satire, begun by William Hogarth (16971764), was developed in the late eighteenth-century through the works of Henry William Bunbury (1750-1811), Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827), James Gillray (1757-1815) and George Cruikshank (1792-1878). Henry William Bunbury, who was a gifted amateur with no formal training, influenced many caricaturists of his time and his work was much sought after in the years following his death. The connoisseur and collector Horace Walpole (1717-97) described him in 1780 as “the second Hogarth, and first imitator who ever fully equalled his original”. His popularity lay partly in the fact that his wit and satire, unlike that of his contemporaries, was gentle, wry, seldom designed to wound and largely a-political. As the second son of a Baronet, he mixed with the social and cultural elite of his time. Sir Joshua Reynolds, Samuel Johnson, David Garrick and Oliver Goldsmith were all amongst his friends. Gainsborough’s House has one of the most important collections in England of works on paper by Bunbury. The quality of the watercolours, drawing and engravings on display shows his exceptional talent, not only for caricature and humour, but also for his close observation and gentle interpretation of ordinary English life, attitudes and manners. Entry to the exhibition and House will be free on Monday, 21 January, Saturday, 2 and Tuesday, 5 February, Friday 1 and Saturday, 16 March.

Parish Report January 2013 Councillor David Grutchfield 1 Stockton Close, Hadleigh, Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5SH 01473 822883 david.grutchfield@suffolk.gov.uk New Youth Travel Provision on the cards? The next Cabinet meeting will take place on the 29th of January, and discuss important items including the County Council budget before it goes to Full Council, and the Final Report of the Locality Funding Policy Development Panel. Another very important item that is going to be discussed is the possibility of implementing a new Suffolk Travel Card Scheme for young people. The removal of the card caused significant difficulties for young people in Suffolk to travel independently and increased the cost for many of getting to further education centres and holding down a job. I will update you with further information after the Cabinet meeting in the next Parish Report. New Head of Children’s Services There will be a new head of Children Services at Suffolk County Council this year, after Simon White the temporary Director left to be the new head of a privatised service running Sandwell Council’s Children Services. In his place, Sue Cook, the former interim Corporate Director at Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, will become the County Councils new Director of Children and Young People’s Services. Sue brings with her 30 years experience of working in Local Government and the voluntary sector, including roles at Essex County Council. Sue Cook has been appointed to the role on £120,000, and I wish her well for the new role ahead. Broadband Contract Signed Just before Christmas a significant step in achieving faster speeds for Broadband across the County was made with the signing of the contract between Suffolk County Council, BT, and the Governments Broadband Delivery UK. This means that BT Openreach can now begin work on the ground surveying the locations around the County, and once this is complete further news about the next stages of the project will be released. This will mean that in just three years around 9 out of 10 Suffolk properties are expected to be able to connect to a faster internet connection. December Cabinet & Full Council Round-up As mentioned previously the Cabinet meeting for December took place and discussed the Concessionary fares under somewhat controversial circumstances. However, there were a number of other items that you may find of interest – • Suffolk Rail Prospectus – where the County has set out a number of improvements that it wants to see to the East Anglian franchise, including better trains and speed of trains to London. • Suffolk Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education • Final Report of the Suffolk County Council Farms Policy Development Panel • Highway Functions undertaken by District and Borough Councils • Suffolk Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Suffolk • Procurement of Highways Services – to award Balfour Beatty Living Places as part of a £200m contract over five years, with the possibility of extending this to ten. The company will be responsible for the design and implementation of highways maintenance and improvement works, winter gritting, street lighting, traffic signals and bridge work throughout the county. In addition to Cabinet, there was also a Full Council in December; however the meeting did not have a large agenda, covering annual reports from the Scrutiny Committee, the Audit Committee and a report on the Councils Property. Hadleigh Recycling – Congratulations! Thank you to all the people that have put material into the recycling centre in Hadleigh, you may be pleased to know that this was top of the county in recycling rates, with 90% of the material being recycled. Winter Weather Just a reminder that the County Council website provides up to date information on gritting, school closures, and tips to help you stay safe throughout this period of winter weather.

Pause for Thought Friendly Fire! "He took the children in His arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10 v 16. Jesus did this directly after speaking to adults about divorce. This wasn't a coincidence. In too many cases broken homes produce broken children. This isn't always true but sometimes parents use children as weapons in the war against their ex. It's a bit like news reports when soldiers get killed in friendly fire! There's nothing "friendly" about bleeding to death, no matter who dropped the bomb or fired the bullet. We see divorce as a last resort, of course we do; but we see love for children, a wish to put their needs before ours, as a must. God thinks like this too. His love is patient, love is kind. It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it isn't proud. It doesn't dishonour others, it isn't self-seeking, it isn't easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." If only we could try and act in this way the world would be a better place for everyone including children, don't you think? Kenny Sanderson

It has not been a brilliant winter for keen tennis players this year, with far too much rain and now the snow. However, when conditions have allowed, the Hadleigh tennis players have put on a brave show despite difficult circumstances. The “winter league” matches have gone ahead and our teams have acquitted themselves well. Now our AGM looms, and on the 7th February, at 7.30pm in the Church community room, members will have a chance to have a say in the running of their club. We would like to invite all members to come along and voice your thoughts about the club and bring forward any ideas that could help us to be better than any others in the surrounding area. The new season begins in April, and this is soon followed by the annual Wimbledon tickets draw. As a tennis club affiliated to the British Tennis organisation, our members are allocated a share of tickets for the annual tournament and who knows, maybe this year members will get a chance to see a British Men’s Champion! Hadleigh Tennis club plays (from March to October), on three sessions per week: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and Sunday from 9.30am to 11.30 pm. Please note that in the winter months, we only play on Tuesday evenings. Membership fees are £100 for adults and £60 for students. If you have any queries please contact us via: hadleightennis@gmail.com or contact Paul Knowles on 01473 828983
Hadleigh Postman running for Scotty’s Little Soldiers I am running the 2013 London marathon in aid of Scotty’s Little Soldiers who do a fantastic job of helping the children of fallen service men and women. Please log into following website to donate: www.bmycharity.com/BrianAirlie Donating through this page is simple, quick and secure. It is the most efficient way to give – so every donation goes further – and if you are a UK taxpayer and give Gift Aid consent you will boost your donation. Thank you for your support, Brian About Scotty’s Little Soldiers Every year, families in the UK hear the news they’ve been dreading: a loved one serving in the British Armed Forces has been killed. Proud mums and dads lose precious daughters and sons, wives and husbands their soul mates, but perhaps most poignantly of all – young children lose a beloved parent. Scotty’s Little Soldiers exists to bring a ray of sunshine into the lives of the children our fallen heroes leave behind. Inspired by army widow, Nichola Scott, following the death in Afghanistan of her husband, Corporal Lee Scott, known by many as ‘Scotty’, the charity raises money to provide treats, outings and activities so that bereaved forces children – and their families-can enjoy an occasional break from their everyday struggles. Lee will always be remembered by his friends and colleagues as a loyal 26 year old soldier serving with the 2nd Royal Tank regiment, but he was also a fun and loving father-of-two. He leaves behind his six year old son, Kai and 19 month old daughter, Brooke. We know that a birthday gift, trip to a theme park or visit to a zoo won’t take their grief away, but if we can offer a brief respite to these brave children coming to terms with their loss, we believe our efforts won’t have been in vain. We have got big plans and high hopes for the charity including buying holiday homes so the families can have breaks away, but we need your help to succeed.

Its the usual suspects who lead the way at the half way stage in Division One, The Legion legends have a seven point lead over the George A after a narrow 6-5 victory at the George. The mid table looks to be a tight affair with three teams within a point of each other.There is a strong rumour going around that the George B’s Richard Suffolk has finally won his first competitive game, not finishing on 18 I hope. (long story that one). Division Two is also very close at the top, with the Legion Jets (formally the Ram Jets) leading by a single point from a strong Cock A side, with the Brewers B only a further four points back.

Greener Hadleigh There have been more reports in the media about food waste, and in view of the rising cost of food in general and staple foods in particular, we thought a quick reminder about some basics might be appropriate. If you have access to the Internet look at lovefoodhatewaste.com/ for lots of useful information. Briefly the 'use-by' date is on fresh produce, such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy produce, and this advice should be followed. However, the 'best before' is more a guideline regarding quality rather than food safety - for instance if you have a packet of biscuits a few days out of date, but taste fine, or a tin of beans a few weeks out of date which look and smell alright then use common sense to make a decision. Bread and potatoes seem to make up a large proportion of waste. Potatoes only need to be thrown away if they are green, have large sprouts or are very wrinkly, and bread can be make into sweet and savoury dishes. Local shops and market gardens stock a good variety of seed potatoes, Partridges hardware store in our High Street have a large selection, but if you would like to see more about potatoes, the East Anglian Seed Potato Day is on Saturday 9th February, from 9.30 until 1.30, at Stonham Barns, Stonham Aspal, admission £1.50. As well as 100+ varieties, there will also be books, tools and other seeds. Go to the website, eapd.btck.co.uk for more information and a seed list. You don't need a large garden to grow potatoes or other crops as they can be planted in large bins, pots or purpose made bags, and many vegetable leaves are attractive enough to go in a flower border or pot - or how about growing salad leaves on a windowsill. Recycling facilities in Hadleigh are very good and recently seen in our Library is a collection box for old pens and other writing equipment. This is to raise funds for the Citizens Advice in Sudbury and district. Don't forget to recycle batteries; there should be collection boxes in shops that sell them. Partridges have a recycling box on the counter and also one for Brita water filter cartridges. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Newton Green Golf Club’s Laura Lowe is the new captain of Suffolk Ladies’ Golf Union During her two year role in the part she will be in charge of the county team, and is hoping some of Newton’s rising starlets can become part of the set-up. Laura has been a part of Suffolk’s governing body for more than two decades, and has spent the last two years as vice captain, which has entailed running the county second team. Her handicap has been as low as seven, and both her grandfather and father were professionals at the same club in Northern Ireland, where she was born. Her father went on to become club president. She moved to Suffolk 36 years ago and, apart from a few years spent in South Africa, was for many years a member of Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club. However, a decision by the club owners to switch affiliation to Essex meant she wanted to find another base to continue her Suffolk aspirations. She chose Newton Green, which is only three miles from her home. Laura explained: “I could have paid an affiliation direct to Suffolk, but wanted to be part of the playing scene in the county. I have always admired Newton, particularly for its friendliness, and loved the original nine holes on which it is based. It is a unique, historical part of the Suffolk golf scene.” She continued: “I believe women’s golf is at an exciting stage in Suffolk, particularly as the county side reached the final of the six-team, regional county championships at Purdis Heath in the summer. We were beaten in the final by Essex, which went on to become national champions. “I want to see us maintain our progress in this year’s regional final in Bedfordshire, and there is no reason why a couple of the very promising young players at Newton Green cannot be part of the picture.” She was referring to 14-year-olds Alice Barlow and Eloise Aldous, who are both part of the England national junior training policy. Newton is the only club in the country to have two girls currently accepted for the scheme. Laura explained: “The Newton girls can force their way into county reckoning if they perform well in our Suffolk championship events early in the summer.” The new Suffolk captain can speak from first hand experience of the talents of the Newton youngsters. For a short time last year Laura held the ladies course record at the club, but it was subsequently slashed by three shots by Eloise Aldous! Di Cunningham, Newton lady captain, said: “Our club and ladies’ section in particular has made massive strides in recent times. This is a first for a Newton member, and the honour for Laura puts the icing on the cake for us.”

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Hadleigh made their exit from the Suffolk Premier Cup when Lowestoft Town were victorious at the Millfield by three goals to one. Lowestoft play two levels higher than us and we can have no complaints at being beaten. It was a creditable performance by Hadleigh United as several leading players missed the game because of injuries. Lowestoft scored from a free kick but Hadleigh equalised just before the interval when Scott Chaplin fired into the net. In the second half a defensive error gifted Lowestoft their second goal while they then scored a third to enter the semi-finals of the competition. In league matches Hadleigh travelled to Haverhill on Boxing Day where both sides scored twice for a share of the spoils. The home side scored first but goals from Marcus Joshua and Shane Wardley out us in front. Just before the end Haverhill drew level from a penalty kick. The following Saturday hard work by Chris Towell and John Day made our pitch playable after a wet spell of weather for the match against Clacton which we won by two goals to one. Clacton provided good opposition by Lee McGlone headed Hadleigh in front before the Seasiders equalised to set up an exciting finish. We scored a late winner from McGlone. Woodbridge was the destination for the next match where a dull first half ended goalless. Things livened up in the second period with both sides scoring once to share the spoils. McGlone was on target for Hadleigh. A home match against Wivenhoe failed to produce a goal after Hadleigh had dominated the entire game. The visitors goal lived a charmed life at times as Hadleigh hit the woodwork on three occasions. Bad weather forced a number of Reserve and Youth matches to be postponed. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were Jim Wilding and Terry Adams. In the Ground Improvements draw the winner was Toppesfield. Terry Adams

Newton Seniors head for cover
Trophy winners, left to right: Peter Cade (singles), Alan Monk (Brian Eady Stableford and doubles), Dave Aynsley (doubles) and Jeremy Hamp (pairs) Newton Green Golf Club's senior section had to go ahead with its annual presentation lunch without first venturing on the course to play an 18-hole team Texas scramble. Continuous rain thwarted play, although the club captain Dave Lavelle and his vice captain Chris Williams, having taken days off to attend the event, battled round the course with a handfull of others to test their waterproofs in friendly rivalty. Back in the club house, they joined with the main body of non runners to enjoy a meal and witness the presentations of the seniors' major trophy winners during 2012. The Texas scramble will be restaged on the morning of Thursday, January 17.

Sun 6th January 2013: Suffolk XC Championship A club record entry of 21 Hares travelled with great optimism to the picturesque location of Ickworth Park, Bury St Edmunds for the 2013 Suffolk County Cross Country Championships. The County Championships act as the trial race for selection to represent Suffolk at the nationally prestigious CAU Inter Counties Cross Country Championships and a few nervous looking Hares knew they had a good chance of selection. First off round a very challenging two lap, 8km course were the 10 strong Ladies team, spearheaded by team leader Penny Grayson and superbly supported by Trudy Avis, Kate Thomas, Clare O’Neil, Rachel Bodsworth, Kitty Rigby, Nikki Vince, Jackie Kirk, Helen Norman and Becky Bayliss. Such was the team spirit and commitment to the cause, that every lady runner relentlessly battled all the way to the finish to support their team mates, in a selfless, awe inspiring display of cross country running. Returning to fitness following a bout of bronchitis Penny produced a battling 26th position, closely followed by Trudy and Kate ‘running out of their skins’ in 34th and 37th respectively. Close behind Rachel, Kitty and Nikki were having their own personal ‘battle royale’ with their places constantly changing right to the line. Hot on their heels Jackie, Helen and Becky rounded off a fine team display. Having watched the Ladies complete their two laps of muddy woods, undulating parkland and four traverses of the steep climbs and descents of ‘the bomb hole’, the men knew their three lap course would be a true test. Team leader John Scaife was in determined mood, keen to build on his growing reputation as a promising distance runner. He didn’t disappoint with a fine 14th place, receiving that all important County invitation as he exited the finishing funnel. Mat Blacoe, Matt Hunter and James Rush packed closely behind in 32nd, 36th and 39th positions respectively. A brief wait saw Brian Airlie ‘The flying postman’ storm into the finish in 69th position, followed rapidly by Steve Hunt in 75th, cross country debutant George Pryor and up and coming Stuart Hunt. When the team positions were calculated the men only then realised what a good day they had had, finishing 5th team overall only a tantalizing six points behind 4th! To round off a fine day for the Hares, talented Toby Rankin competed in the 6Km under 17 mens race. Despite limited preparation due to his academic studies, Toby showed what a true ‘thoroughbred’ he is, apparently floating over the muddy terrain to produce an excellent 9th position and county selection. The Hares team made their way home tired but smiling, knowing their fine team performances had re-established Hadleigh as a team to be reckoned with once more, on the County distance running scene. Such performances are not achieved by individuals alone and a big thank you should go to the friends and family who tirelessly cheered the team on, with particular thanks to Gale Pryor and Mike Rosbrook for their help and experience on the day.
