Historic Challenge Tennis Match appropriate for the era of the original match - something perhaps as seen in the photograph that appears with this article. In 1881 the match was won by Hadleigh 4 sets to 2. I wonder what the outcome will be 130 years on. The event is open to all who wish to attend and both clubs would welcome your support, so please come along and enjoy an entertaining day. It is not everyday that you get a chance to support a local sporting event with such an historic connection. Sunday 26th June is the middle Sunday of the Wimbledon fortnight. Continued on page 5

THE ORANGERIE

On Sunday 26th June, Hadleigh Tennis Club will play Bildeston Tennis Club in a Men’s doubles match, re-enacting a match that was first played on Tuesday 8th July 1881 yes! 1881 - 130 years ago. Details of the original match appeared in last month’s ‘Hadleigh Community News’. This special event for both clubs will also include a Ladies doubles match. To celebrate 130 Years of tennis in Hadleigh there will also be a professionally catered barbeque lunch for players, supporters and spectators. Players, and we hope supporters, will dress in costume

Athlete’s foot is a very common skin infection of the bottom of the feet caused by a fungus called tinea pedis. When the feet stay warm, moist and become irritated the fungus can thrive and infect the upper layers of the skin. Fungal infections can occur anywhere in the body including scalp, trunk, extremeties, hands feet, nails, groin etc. But here we will just look at the feet. The fungus that causes athlete’s foot can be found in many locations including floors in gyms, swimming pools, nail salons, airport security lines, showers, shoes, socks and one can acquire the fungus from walking barefoot in these areas or by direct person to person contact. Some people are more prone to getting the infection than others.However, acquiring the fungus is not sufficient to get the infection. It also needs proper growing conditions – a warm moist environment. Upto 70% of the population may have athlete’s foot at some time during their lives. Most people with athlete’s foot have no symptoms at all and may not even know they have an infection. Many may think they have dry skin on the soles of their feet. Common symptoms of athlete’s foot include varying degrees of itching and burning. The skin at the bottom of the feet may look dry and peel and in particularly severe cases there may be some cracking, pain, and bleeding as well. Rarely athelete’s foot can cause skin to blister. The dry skin may spread to the sides and the top of the feet. The space between the fourth and fifth toes may also have moisture, peeling and dry skin. The toenails can become infected and they may also be need to be treated to prevent athlete’s foot recurring. The treatment for athlete’s foot can be divided into two parts. The first and most important part is to make the infected area less suitable for the athlete’s fungus to grow. This means keeping the area clean and dry. Wearing cotton socks, leather shoes or sandals allows the skin of the feet to remain dry whereas materials such as vinyl used in trainer’s cause the feet to become moist and encourage the growth of the fungus. Using medicated powders such as mycil, on the feet and in the shoes can also help to keep the feet dry. The second part of the treatment is using an antifungal medicine. There are many types available – Clotrimazole (Canestan), Miconazole (Daktarin), Terbinafine (Lamisil) and Ketoconazole (Daktarin gold). Duration of the treatment can vary from a single treatment to several weeks. It is very important that athlete’s foot is treated as otherwise the fungal infection can spread to other parts of the body. If you think you have any of the symptoms mentioned above and are unsure as to the best course of treatment just pop down to our pharmacy and our pharmacists will be able to advise you in complete confidence in our totally private consultation room.

The Key to a Happy Move One of our distinctions and indeed our passion is the fact that we are as involved in our clients’ move as we are in the sale itself. Certainly, for most people the property into which they are moving is a lot more exciting than the property they are about to leave. Yet on moving day itself, we find that some agents have lost interest in the event! They are guaranteed their commission and are already focussing their attentions on other sales. What a shame, and what a lost opportunity to provide a service level that could change people’s perceptions of the stereotypical estate agent. We believe estate agency is service-related more than it is property-related. How we facilitate the whole moving process illustrates this. For example, whereas most agents will simply hand you the key if you care to drive to their office, a good agent will meet the new owners at the property with the keys and will make sure they work properly. There is nothing worse than having been given the wrong set of keys with the removers keen to get cracking starting to pile your personal possessions on the front lawn! Once inside, a good agent will help you check the property over, read the electricity, gas and water meters with you, and clear away any unwantedHelping post that youmight need with your labels move, and be redirecting. They should also provide a sheet of redirection just require. your sale! happy to put you in touch with any tradesmen younot might Going further than this (and we believe Elizabeth Valda Estates are the only agents in the Boxford and surrounding areas to do any of the above), we have recently introduced a key-holding service. Rather than you having to take a morning off work to await delivery of your new washing machine, or even if you lock yourself out, we can permanently and securely hold a spare key for such eventualities, making your enjoyment of your new home even more relaxed.

Two very different fungi “Judas-ear” (Auricularia auricular judae) This strange looking fungus gets its name from the biblical legend/curse of Judas Iscariot (The apostle who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver) who is supposed - in his remorse - to have hanged himself from an Elder Tree. As the legend implies, this fungus occurs most frequently on dead or dying Elder where it is part of the recycling process, destroying the dead timber. (E.G It is a Saprophyte) It is one of the “Jelly-fungi” with a consistency somewhat like “winegums”, the texture and shape making it feel similar to a child’s ear. It is edible, and frequently used in oriental cooking, (particularly “Hot and Sour Soup I’m told) and is still used in some oriental herbal medicines. What’s different about it? Unlike many other fungi it occurs all the year round. (Many occur only in the autumn). It doesn’t mind being frozen - when the temperature rises again it will just thaw-out with no ill effects, and it doesn’t mind being dried out until it is very tough and hard. To re-hydrate it, just add some rain and it will continue to grow The oriental peoples use it for both food and medicines. When boiled in milk (or beer) it has been used to treat throat ailments, and as a cream to treat eye infections. However at the other end of the scale it has been used to treat Haemorrhoids and heart problems. To my thinking these ailments are so far apart that it’s real medicinal properties are questionable and can only be answered by specialists. “King Alfred’s Cakes” (Daldinia concentrica) Another strange looking fungi! This one gets its name from the legend of King Alfred, who - whilst hiding with an old woman after a battle with the Danes - was given the job of looking after some cakes she was cooking. He fell asleep, with the result that the cakes were burned. Alfred’s Cakes are hard and “woody” with a smooth (often shiny) surface and occur mainly on dead Ash Trees. They seldom grow more than a few centimetres in diameter and are very slow growing. Inside there are concentric rings that’s how it gets in Latin name - each representing a year’s growth, and by counting them you can calculate their age – just like a tree. (You can see these rings in the photo). I figure this one is/was 7-8 years old What’s different about it? The strangest part is how it distributes its spores (think of them as seeds). Just below the hard surface of these woody-lumps are flask-shapes cavities (ascus) in which the spores develop. The flask remains closed at its neck until the spores are ripe; when a very ingenious thing happens. Water-vapour pressure builds up inside the “flask”, forcing the neck to snap open, sending a “jet” of spores out into the atmosphere. Once an individual flask has ejected its contents it dies-off, the surface restores its self and a new “flask” will grow in its place the following year (The dead flasks form the rings you can see). The process goes on most of the summer with vast numbers of these flasks each “firing” individually. This strategy ensures that at least some of the spores will land on the right surface, under the right conditions to become a new fungus The fungus has another useful feature. When dried they will “take-a-spark” very easily, and can be used as emergency firelighters. If you can get a spark onto the cut surface it will start to smoulder and - “Bingo” you’ve got a fire going. The stories say that they can also be used as briquettes on barbeques, but I’m not sure how the food might taste – might wish you’d bought some charcoal like everyone else! Mick T

Treble Goal for Local Accountants Chartered Accountants Walter Wright set their sights high and have gone the extra mile for The British Heart Foundation. Last June their Tax Manager Alain Harris died following heart surgery. Alain was well known within the local community, having worked for the company for 24 years. His death left a huge hole in the practice and they wanted to undertake some form of event in his memory that all staff could participate in regardless of age, ability etc. After much deliberation a sponsored static cycle ride was decided upon. They started this epic adventure covering the 418 miles from his home town of Felixstowe to the heart of his Scottish roots, Edinburgh, on Monday 4 April and completed the route within 5 days. Having set themselves a realistic target of £2,000 when the idea was first thought of, we are delighted to report that they have more than tripled their original target and will be handing over £6,004.15 to the British Heart Foundation, the charity considered most appropriate to Alain’s illness. Anita Postle of Walter Wright said “It was great fun doing the miles and friends, family and clients have been absolutely amazing with their donations and support – the total we have raised just goes to show how much Alain was loved and thought of by everyone. He was a lovely man and is greatly missed. We would like to thank everyone who sponsored us and indeed those who actually came into the office and cycled some of the route with us – we are all very proud of what we have achieved for such a worthwhile cause in Alain’s memory”.

Memorial Football Match On 15th May we held a charity football match at Hadleigh United Football Club in memory of Richard. The day took lots of planning and all came together brilliantly, it was a lovely day and so many people turned out to show their support. The final outcome of the match was the red team beating the blue team 10-1. The winner of the penalty shoot out was Jason Curtis... Well played everyone. The family would like to thank each and everyone who attended and helped out. Special thanks must go to the staff at Hadleigh United Football Club for all their help and to Jason Curtis and Andy Bevan for their help too. Thanks also to Elizabeth for running the tombola stand and to Katie Macloed for doing some excellent face painting.. And last but not least, thanks to all of those who played football! John, Mary and Elizabeth would like to say an extra thank you to Mark and Natalie Snowling for their hard work in organising the day and making it a great success. The grand total of money raised for the day was £915.10 this will go to the memorial fund we have for Richard at Diabetes UK. Thank you to everyone for all your help and support

Howard unwinding at the grand My dear readers, it is usually the happier things in life that I am able to share with you in an effort to brighten us all. Unfortunately, I have sad news this month and I feel that I know you well enough to share with you. My father, Paul, who has been feeling quite unwell since Christmas has been diagnosed with secondary cancer in the liver. This has been such a shock to us all and we are trying to do our best for my father. I know that many of my clients for one reason and another lose touch with their family. I can identify with that. We had not seen my brother in twenty years and had never met his daughters. The situation was reversed on both counts in one week. I can truly say that my mother and I have had to cope with some traumatic days. Our dealings with Ipswich Hospital can best be described as “difficult”. I had to find out details of the Consultant from MacMillan Nurses, we had to press the Consultant to even meet or examine my father and our experiences on the Ward were troublesome until I had had an hour and a half meeting with the Matron. Too many Staff and Departments misdirected. My father is having a number of days at St Elizabeth Hospice which is a charitable establishment which is wonderful in its arrangement and excellent in its care and understanding. Do always support it. Tragedy arrives unannounced and without appointment. My experience underlines the need to have all your affairs in order whether that be Wills, Powers of Attorney, details of your assets and such like. Turning to lighter things. Some weeks ago my mother, father and I were returning from an excellent cinema organ concert in Ipswich one Sunday afternoon. We were in one of my special vehicles flying my standard as it was a lovely day. As we approached Polstead, a chap called “William” popped out and flagged us down. After enquiring whether we were “special” (which of course we are) he delighted us with jolly banter which really made our afternoon. Surprises do happen and I very much pray that miracles do too.

Weeds away - the easy way! Trevor’s customers have been very impressed with his convenient, quick and cost-effective method of weed control, which is hassle free and can cost less than the Do It Yourself alternative. In addition, customers have been able to allow pets and children to play safely in the garden following weed elimination treatment. Trevor’s Garden Services provides the ideal solution to long term weed termination. Using a special, full-strength Pro Biactive formula, Trevor can easily control your annual and perennial grass problems, as well as those annoying broad-leaved weeds. Trevor also recommends this special formula, 360g/lt glyphosate (which is unavailable in everyday retail outlets) for clearing out-of-control weedy ground prior to planting or sowing. We had such a fantastic response to our article last month advertising our professional spraying services we are booking up fast, so if you have areas of block paving or driveways, patios and paths, or a plot of ground or paddock that’s wild with weeds, call Trevor on 01473 824315 or 07850 630389 to find out more about how you can make your weeds go away the easy way!

Hadleigh Healing Society Some people are very fixed in their ideas and views as to what is right or wrong and what is acceptable. We have all met these sort of people who trot out “it was different in my day” which at times is not very helpful when you are on the receiving end. Life is so different now. There are many more problems to contend with. Same problems as years ago, but more complex. The world is moving at a faster pace because of technology and access to information, world wide news etc. We are all better informed and able to give our opinions rightly or wrongly on many subjects. Perhaps we all need to stand back and think carefully about our views and maybe consider the wider picture. For some they do not like what they see around them, feel isolated, even depressed. We, the healers, understand this and will listen to you. We do not make judgement and this is done in a completely confidential way. Share your concerns, our healers have probably experienced exactly what you are going through and can understand. Do not be isolated. Just phone 01473 823282 for an appointment or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org

Mrs Russell Redman 1928 - 2011 A service of thanksgiving for the life of Mrs Redman was held in St. Andrews’s Church, Lower Layham on Wednesday May 11th. Her family, many friends and former colleagues came together to share, during the service and afterwards, many happy memories of a lady who was warmhearted, sincere, caring - and full of fun. She was born and brought up in Cornwall and, after training as a teacher, moved to London. Marriage took her to America, as her husband was in the oil industry. She had a son and a daughter, and, in time, six grandchildren, all much loved. On her return to England in 1974 she settled in Layham and became a valued teacher at Hadleigh High School, remaining there until her retirement. She knew her pupils well as individuals and many found her ready with extra help when they found difficulties. She insisted on good behaviour and hard work, but there was always time in her lessons for enjoyment and a good laugh. Neighbours and friends appreciated her warmth and generosity - with shopping, baking, a listening ear - and countless amusing anecdotes of her adventures and encounters. She had many interests and much energy - books, knitting, travel, and cats (both live and ‘collectables’). All will remember her with gratitude and affection.

Lucy Harwood Lucy Harwood was born on the 1st of January 1893 to a family of solid respectability and comfortable means, at Belstead Hall, near Ipswich. In 1904 the family moved to Ackworth House, East Bergholt. Before the First World War she attended classes at the Slade School of Fine Art. After the war, she suffered a stroke following an operation for appendicitis, which paralyzed the righthand side of her body, she then had to learn to use her left hand , and she walked with a pronounced limp all her life. Lucy practised drawing with her left hand but did not try to paint using oils until she joined the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing which had been started in Dedham 1937 by Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett Haines. She became one of the School’s first and longest serving students. In 1939 the School burnt down. Cedric Morris and Lett Haines moved to Benton End, on the outskirts of Hadleigh. In 1940 she moved to Kiln House in the village of Upper Layham, to continue her association with the school. At Benton End she became an institution. She presided over Sunday afternoon tea for most of the rest of her life. She painted almost every day in all kind of weathers, and she took all her paintings to be criticised by her teachers, Lett and Cedric. Post war, Lucy took short summer holidays away in Europe, returning laden with freshly painted canvases. She wrote a very full and entertaining history of her own life, the events in the village and the life of the School at Benton End, in a diary that fills more than 28 volumes from 1944 until her death in 1972.

Well Ye Bowled Joan Ashard - formally of The Bank House, High Street, and wife of John Ashard - died on Easter day 2011. She passed away very peacefully after a long illness - she fought Alzheimer's disease bravely to the end. John and Joan were both very active members of H.A.D.S. - Joan played Mrs Sowerberry in 'Oliver!' - with her son, Robert Ashard in the lead and John pulling the curtain. They were both members of Hadleigh Bowls Club. Joan taught in the local primary school and also was a member of the Red Cross. The funeral service was held at Ipswich Crematorium on May 16th 2011 with refreshments afterwards in the Hadleigh Guildhall garden. Sister to Margaret Fox, Grandmother to Joshua and Ezetie King and Mother of Robert and Lizzy Ashard.

Gardening Competition For Tenants Council housing tenants in Babergh are being given two free packs of flower seeds and being urged to take part in a council-run gardening competition. The free seeds are on offer to all 3,500 of Babergh’s housing tenants in a bid to try and promote the upkeep of gardens and communal areas throughout the district. There are a number of categories from best window box to people with larger gardens, as well as tallest sunflower, best child-friendly garden and best neighbourhood/community open space. Babergh has gift vouchers on offer as prizes Gavin Fisk, Babergh’s Principal Tenant Services Officer, said: “We know the majority of Babergh tenants are really proud of their environment and care about their gardens and communal spaces. “We also understand that sometimes, because of other pressures, that gardening is not always top of the agenda but we hope this competition will give our tenants a reason to pick a trowel and plant these free seeds. “The competition is open to all tenants “We also want to hear from people interested in a land share scheme. The aim is to bring people together who either have a garden that they cant maintain or people who wish to take up the pursuit of gardening or growing an allotment but don't have the space to do so.” For more information, please call Tenant Services on (01473) 825757 or email: gavin.fisk@babergh.gov.uk.

(or not so keen, but would like some help?) If either case applies, then look no further! Some of you may know me (Christine Scott Fox) already, as I have been helping students and adults alike from Hadleigh and the surrounding areas to improve the standard of their spoken and written French for the past 15 years or so. I am half French, and first started working 30 years ago as a professional translator from and into French - a service that I still provide, along with a telephone service for booking hotels etc – then branching out to include French tuition catering for all levels and ages from 14 upwards. I am a great believer in the unique advantages and the extra confidence that one-toone tuition provides. It also means that the hour isn’t geared to anyone else’s requirements – just your own. So, if you are working towards a GCSE, A’ Level, or a degree, have a specific area of business French that you’d like to get to grips with, or you just would enjoy being able to chat to les français you come across here or on holiday, then check out the ad below, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Melford Hall and a Passionate Woman Until 1960 only the resident family, their relatives, invited and uninvited rich, famous and powerful guests passed through the massive wooden front door of Melford Hall. Thanks to the Hyde Parkers, who have been residents for Hilary Ferry with her Fidelis generations, the National Trust visitors at Melford Hall acquired the property in that year, allowed the family to reside in part of it and opened the rest of this imposing house and gardens to the public. Accompanied by a passionate, enthusiastic National Trust volunteer and fellow club member, Hilary Ferry, the ladies of Fidelis recently visited this historical stately abode. Having first visited the Church on the hill the group returned to discover more about the Hall’s chequered history and the families who have lived there. The house has had its fair share of famous visitors from Elizabeth 1 to Beatrix Potter together with several distinguished and not so distinguished naval dignitaries who once resided there. Past and present day residents have all contributed something to its current majestic appearance whether it be an odd man-made column or two or the complete remodelling of the wing devastated by fire in 1942. The recently refurbished Park Room with its magnificent view provided the perfect spot for the group’s final stop for tea and delicious homemade cakes. Several days later the ladies car pooled their way to the New Wolsey Theatre and thoroughly enjoyed a moving but entertaining performance of Passionate Woman. Actress Kay Mellor enthralled the audience in her own play about her mother. Jan Devey

Launched at Hadleigh May Show on the stand The Hadleigh Historian of Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, Shops The Hadleigh Historian and traders of Hadleigh High Street in 1901 features photographs taken at the beginning of the 20th century. The book begins with a general introduction to the town during the Edwardian era and then A4 black and white photographs take us down the High Street, where we meet many interesting characters and sample their wares or visit their businesses. Most shops and trades that were available generally were then in Hadleigh High Street, catering from the cradle to the grave. Starting at its southern end, some of the places visited include Payne’s shoe and furniture warehouse and the Wheatsheaf Inn. Later we pass Barclays Bank, the White Lion Hotel and the Post Office at its new premises on the corner of the Market Place. Further along, we drop in at Thacker’s the chemist, Taylor’s the ironmongers, the Coffee Tavern and Verlander’s toy shop. At the northern end of the street, we visit ham and bacon curer Edie Spooner and draper Cocky Churchyard, together with other tradesmen and women. Details of the premises shown accompany each picture, whether shop or warehouse, workshop, public house, bank or office.

Armchair Players celebrated their 2nd Birthday with cake and drinks and a nostalgic re-reading of Alan Bennett’s Say Something Happened - first read at the inaugural meeting in May, 2009. We have had an amazing two years thanks to the support of Mike Ager at the King’s Head who donates part of the pub’s dining room to our exclusive use each month, and to the enthusiasm of the Armchair Players’ membership. In that period we’ve gone from six to twenty-five members and have read a play each month from a variety of genres including political satire, social drama, comedy and mysteries. We’ve enjoyed group trips to the theatre, talks from local theatre management, and had a tour of the New Wolsey Theatre. As we move into our third year we have a full programme of play-readings planned and are in the process of organising group trips to the 2011 Jill Freud theatre season in Aldeburgh. We intend to continue our ‘tradition’ of raising funds for the Children In Need campaign for which we’ve raised over £300 so far. This year we’re planning to double our efforts with a special evening in November devoted to Pudsey’s bucket collection. Watch this space for further details. If you would like to join this merry band of play readers – just come along. The Armchair Players promise a warm welcome. Our meetings are relaxed and great fun. You can choose to ‘read’ a part in the evening’s play or just sit back and listen. We meet every second Monday of each month at 7:30pm in the King’s Head on the High Street. We’ll be reading Happy Families by John Godber on Monday, June 13th. Why not give us a try? If you would like to know more, call Maddie Labinger on 01473 824033

SUMMER CONCERT: June 19th. 6.30 p.m. in Polstead Church Our programme is now finalised. We shall begin the concert with some wonderful theatre music by Purcell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and what a name it has: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Double Dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!!! We usually include a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and this year it is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;O Youth is the Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Following this we shall have a taste of Suffolk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a suite of four pieces followed, by the song from Les Miserables made even more famous by Susan Boyle: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I dreamed a dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Finally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th. Symphony. So that the concert is not too long, we are cutting half of the Finale. The purist might not like this! But we think it will make for a better experience overall. We are very proud to be able to present this symphony â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably the most famous symphony of all time, It is exciting to play and we hope you have as much enjoyment listening to it as we shall have playing it. As usual we shall not make a charge for entry but invite the audience to make a contribution which will be divided between concert and church funds. Polstead Church is a lovely venue and we always enjoy our summer visit there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually favoured by good weather. All are welcome. John Druce (Chairman)

Hadleigh Community Playgroup The playgroup will be having its annual general meeting or also known as the AGM on Wednesday 8th June 2011. Starting at 7:30pm. The AGM is an opportunity for parents and other people who have an interest in the playgroup to hear reports about activities of the playgroup which it has been involved in during the previous year, and to assess its achievements. There will be a presentation of accounts from the treasurer and the finance administer. Also this is an opportunity for the parents to ask questions to the committee. The AGM is where the committee memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominations take place and when some committee members stand down. We will be looking to nominate new committee members to help with the running of the playgroup. The roles of committee members vary, these can included being chair of the committee to helping out with fundraising events, also committee members are asked to attend a meeting about every 6 weeks to vote on issues with the running of the playgroup. If you are interested in becoming a committee member, then please come along to the meeting, you will have a chance to speak to current committee members before the nominations take place. Having a committee is a legal requirement, so without a committee the playgroup can no longer run. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in becoming a committee member, please still come along. The meeting will give you an important insight into the running of the playgroup, and you will have an opportunity to speak to staff and committee members who you may not always get a chance to talk about important issues too. We conduct the AGM in a relax atmosphere and will supply drink and nipples during the evening. We hope you are able to attend. The playgroup is currently allocating places for September, if you are interested in having your child attend then please either come to the playgroup to pick up an application form, or look on line for further information about the playgroup. www.hadleighcommunityplaygroup.co.uk

Hadleigh Liberal Democrats working for you by putting people first Hello everyone We just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to every one who took the time to visit their polling station last month and specifically to those who voted for us and returned to Babergh two District Councillors, Mary Munson to the North Ward of Hadleigh and David Grutchfield to the South. David also remains active at County level. The Town Council was re-elected unopposed and together, we will continue to work hard and do all we can for the very best interests of our Community and our Town. Elections are horribly expensive and so we will be holding a summer fund raiser during the school summer holidays and we will be organising a local event where there will be plenty to entertain the children for a couple of hours towards the end of their holidays and plenty of things for mum and dad to do as well so that the whole family can enjoy themselves whilst helping our Community. Watch this space! With our very best regards and again, our thanks The Hadleigh Lib Dem Team Contact: Visit our blog and share your thoughts: http://hadleighlibdems.blogspot.com or e-mail us on: hadleighlibdems@gmail.com Or, if you prefer to send us something in writing, or offer a donation or any help, please send this to: Freepost RRRR-KRTE-BXTX, 39 Highlands Road, Hadleigh, IP7 5HL 18

The school was recently inspected by OFSTED before the Easter holidays. We are delighted to say that the school has been recognised as a ‘good’ school where the children make good progress in their work, teaching is good and make learning enjoyable; where the children care for one another and behave well. Ofsted were particularly impressed with the school’s community work and the outstanding contribution made by our involvement in the European Comenius project. The inspectors agreed with the school’s priorities for future planning. These are focused on reconfiguring the curriculum we teach to ensure it encourages all the pupils to be actively involved in their learning and to reorganise our ‘Early Years / Nursery provision to address the government’s new requirements for three and four year olds. The school governors will be using the report as a basis for future developments within the school. Our thanks go to all of the school’s community who have supported us in reaching these high standards. Royal wedding and May Day celebrations were the order of the day as we returned to school after the Easter Holidays. The royal wedding was celebrated with a street party style lunch outside, for which the children had created their own unique royal wedding bunting and wore specially designed royal wedding inspired crowns and tiaras. Royal family trees were examined and compiled, coats of arms designed and the royal wedding itself was recreated by one of the younger classes. The children really enjoyed this special day and it hopefully gave them an insight into the significance of the royal wedding that followed. Our May Day celebrations were equally as lavish with the whole school taking part in the May Day parade and maypole dancing display. May Day kings, queens, princes, princesses, crowners and guards were voted for by the children. They were resplendent in traditional costumes as they paraded in front of the school and a large number of parents who came to watch. Each class then took turns to perform a maypole dance, which they had been practicing hard for leading up to the day. Considering the weather conditions, where a strong blustery wind added to the challenge of the dances, the children all performed remarkably well. As part of their work on habitats the Owls class recently visited Wolves Wood. The children were given a guided tour of the wood by RSPB warden Shirley Boyle. The children enjoyed learning about this rich local habitat, about the many different species of trees, spring woodland flowers and the diverse wildlife. The visit was followed up in class with the children designing Wolves Wood visitor leaflets. The Penguins class also made use of another local habitat with their Hadleigh river walk. As part of their work on local habitats they used the river as an example and studied the different plants and animals found there. They followed this work up in school by researching more fully the animals and plants they had seen to create an information book. Recently Year 6 took part in Crucial Crew, a series of safety workshops organised by the Rotary Club of Sudbury. It was the first time that Beaumont had been involved in Crucial Crew which has been running in Sudbury for many years. It is aimed at year 6 as they start to think about moving onto secondary school, at a time in their life’s where they may find themselves in new situations, being more independent but also potentially at more risk. The Year 6 pupils found the workshops very informative and interesting. They followed up the work at Crucial Crew by designing their own interactive safety quizzes.

Hadleigh’s New Town Mayor Hadleigh’s mayor for the coming year was elected at last night’s annual Town Council meeting. Councillor Penny Cook, who recently retired after a long teaching career at Hadleigh High School, was chosen by fellow councillors; Councillor Mary Munson was elected as Deputy Mayor. In accepting office, Miss Cook thanked Jan Byrne, outgoing Mayor, for her hard work as ambassador for the town. Miss Cook spoke of the honour of being selected to serve as Mayor for a second time and promised to work hard to promote the town. Committee chairpersons were also chosen at the meeting. Councillor Trevor Sheldrick will continue as chairperson of the Environment and General Purposes Committee, Councillor Jessica Nevard will lead the Planning Committee and Councillor Richard Whiting will chair the Sports and open Spaces Committee.

News from The Station Dear Readers, Welcome to this months edition of news from the Police Station. In recent months I have spoken in depth about the work we are undertaking with our younger community in the Town, and their involvement with alcohol. This rolling operation is proving highly successful with a variety of types of alcoholic drinks being seized, and parents being visited. To coincide with this, our partners at Babergh District Council inform us that the planned Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) is still in the final stages of discussion, and we hope to have this powerful tool at our disposal by the end of the summer. As regular readers will be aware, this is something that I have personally been working towards for over two years, and I think that it will prove to have a very positive effect on the Town in years to come. Whilst much of our work at the moment is centred on anti-social behaviour, I have to say that the large majority of the Town’s teenagers are respectable and friendly. Whether on or off duty, the teens will come and talk to my colleagues and me about a wide range of topics, and often just want to have a chat. Outside of this work, we have also been engaging with the large amount of farms situated around Hadleigh and the rural areas. By increasing our visibility in this area, and building contacts we hope to reduce the amount of crime that farmers historically experience. I would also like to draw your attention to the yearly crime figures. In my annual report to the Town Council, I have stated that as at 31 March 2010, 342 crimes had been reported to Police in Hadleigh. As at 31 March 2011, only 274 crimes have been reported. This is a reduction of 20%. Your Safer Neighbourhood Team continue to review every crime that occurs in the Town and using our strong base of contacts and intelligence we are able to liaise with our partner agencies and target those people who are likely to commit offences. By taking this structured approach we are able to prevent crimes from occurring. We continue to remain open to engagement with all sections of the community. We can be contacted on our shared email address babergheast.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk or by the switchboard number 01473 613500. Of course, you can come to the Police Station to see us, but remember that there is only a station clerk present from 1pm until 3pm on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Until next time, Matt, PC 1455 Paisley Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk 01473 613500

Boxford Drama Group presents Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn Alan Ayckbourn’s ingenious time-warp comedy begins in the year 2014 when a professional dominatrix, Poopay, is summoned to a deluxe London hotel suite by an elderly businessman to witness a document detailing the murder of his two wives by his psychopathic business associate. Stepping through the ‘communicating doors’ she finds herself back in time, to 1994, confronting Rouella, the second wife, and when Ruella finds herself further back in time, in 1974, with the first wife, she decides it’s time to rewrite the future. Boxford Drama Group presents Communicating Doors at Boxford Village Hall from June 16 to 18 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £13.00 and includes, as usual, a delicious supper, with the option of a £7.00 ticket without supper on June 16 only, available from Boxford’s newsagent.

"Once we had decided that we wanted a low mileage Ford Fusion, the speed and service was impeccable, with two options given to us within a matter of days. The car was collected in pristine condition just as we were told it would be. Any queries or problems we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble. When we require a new car, we would have no hesitation on using Kersey Car Sales again."

"I have bought two cars through Stuart and on both occasions he found what I wanted within days. Both cars were purchased through the ‘car finder’ service and were collected in perfect condition, just as he promised they would be. Kersey Cars provide a fantastic easy way to buy your car and saved me the time and hassle of going from dealer to dealer with sales people trying to sell me something I didn’t really want. I would recommend anyone considering using Kersey Cars to find them their next car."

The 2011 Montane ‘Lakeland 50’ In Aid Of Xanthe Carter The Lakeland 50 Ultra tour of the Lake District is one of the greatest ULTRA RUNNING challenges in Europe. Set within the spectacular Lakeland fells the route starts at the northern end of Ullswater within the grand Dalemain Estate and takes in Haweswater, Kentmere, Ambleside, Langdale and Tilberthwaite before the final climb and descent to the finish at Coniston. Totalling 50 MILES and 11,000 FEET of ascent of tough Lakeland trails, competitors must visit 6 checkpoints on route and complete the event within the time limit of 24 hours. Competitors must carry all their own equipment, food and drink with no outside assistance allowed. Starting at 12 noon this means competitors must face navigation and running through the night to complete within the time limit! The Lakeland 50 is a huge challenge, it requires commitment, drive and the ability to ‘just keeping going’ when most would ‘just rather not’. This year I will be competing in the Lakeland 50 to raise money for a very brave little local girl XANTHE CARTER from Upper Layham. All money raised will go directly to help fund on going intensive 1:1 physiotherapy, speech and language therapy to help Xanthe’s rehabilitation following her contracting pneumcoccal meningitis and suffering a major stroke when only 9 months old. The after effects of her illness have been devastating, but in typical style she Is battling through thanks to the tremendous skill, support & endless devotion of her loving parents and brother Jessie, Hugo and Milo. The journey will be a long and hard one, but we know she will get there. Already she is getting stronger & the results of initial intensive therapy are very encouraging. Everything raised will help to make a big difference for a remarkable little girl! Many thanks for your kind support. Any contribution will make a BIG difference!

Choose your passwords with care. Or else! The leak of personal data from about 100 million user accounts of its PlayStation Network has caused Sony acute embarrassment and a great deal of money. Apparently no passwords were leaked but that is little consolation because there seem to be leaks which include password data on a regular basis. Many, if not most, people use the same password for multiple accounts online. This is, of course, not a great idea because the leak of one password can affect your whole life. One password used for email, social networks and banking is a recipe for disaster. Choosing a password which is hard to guess but easy to remember is not that hard but there are some key things to remember: 1. Don't use passwords that are based on personal information that can be easily accessed or guessed. 2. Don't use words that can be found in any dictionary of any language. 3. Develop a mnemonic for remembering complex passwords. 4. Use both lowercase and capital letters. 5. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. 6. Use passphrases when you can. 7. Use different passwords on different systems. There are applications such as Password Safe which is free and available from passwordsafe.sourceforge.net which allow you to keep all of your passwords secure and in one place under the control of a single master password. They can generate strong new passwords and manage your old passwords. Don’t do what I once did and forget the master password! In the meantime for any help and advice contact Nick Kotarski 07790 842 968 / 01206 299 568 nick@kotarski.co.uk or visit kotarski.co.uk.

Letter from Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Council meetings of 23 March and 15 April: • No comments were made on planning applications for: The extension to the cottage west of Pear Tree Cottage on Upper Street; A conservatory for Holly Lodge House on Upper Street; The erection of two two-storey extensions to Ashbrook House, Lower Layham. • It was noted that the applications for work on Crooked Acres, Stoke Road and Overbury Hall had both been approved by BDC. • The Council had no comment on the application for a front porch at Pipkin House, Upper Layham but was concerned that the foundations of the garage may not be sufficient to support the structure proposed to be built above it. • Whilst discussing Pipkin House, it was felt that BDC should be asked to confirm that planning had been granted for the large extension at the rear of the property – application for which had not been seen by Layham Parish Council. • Flagship Housing are to be asked to look at the condition of the grasscrete track in Gardeners’ Close. • Anglian Water is to be asked to replace the broken water signs on Brett Green. • Efforts are again to be made to recruit parishoners to take on the roles of Local History Recorder and Archivist. The Annual Parish Meeting was held on Wednesday 27th April attended by only two members of the public. Reports were read by the District Councillor, a representative of the local Constabulary, the Chairman of Layham council, the Tree Warden. The Chair of the Green Team, the Footpath Warden and by representatives of the Playing Field and the Village Hall. Thanks for time and effort given to the Parish Council were expressed to the four councillors who are not standing for re-election – Jane Gales, Rebecca English, Liz Reid and Richard Cromwell. Special thanks were offered by the Vice Chairman to Jane Gales, the retiring Chairman, for the work she has put in during 20 years as a councillor and 8 as Chairman.

Two councils or one? Have you completed and returned your voting paper concerning whether or not you feel Babergh and Mid-Suffolk District Councils should combine? This is a really important local issue and if you havn’t got round to it yet – you have just a few more days – until Monday 6 June in fact. Your voting paper was in an envelope together with an explanatory leaflet titled ‘Facing the Future’.

The Grey Wagtails are back Every year a pair of Grey Wagtails nest beside the water near the Mill. They have been seen catching beaks full of insects to feed to their young and have become quite tolerant of humans. They have been a wonderful free show for several weeks. Unfortunately, by the time this is printed, they will probably have raised their young and may not be so evident. They come back every year – watch out for them next April/May. Doreen Sillett took the photograph.

The Chairperson thanked Lester Bennett and Ken Quedley, both of whom did not seek re-election, for the important contributions they have made to the work of the Playing Field management Committee over the years. She also thanked all members of the committee for what has been done during the year. The major achievement has been the building of the multipurpose hard play surface which is to be developed further during 2011. The conservation area continues to receive attention and is certainly attracting wild-life.

Some special Layham bricks Roger Kennel recently visited the Gressinghall Museum in Norfolk where he found a book titled Bricks and Tiles by Dobson and Searles published in 1911. In the historical review of early brick buildings the Hadleigh Rectory Tower was included and to his surprise the following text appeared: “It (the tower) was restored carefully in the middle of the 19th Century, the terra-cotta then used being made at the Layham kilns near Hadleigh.” This was news to Roger who has a deep knowledge of brick buildings and his understanding of the history of the tower leads him to conclude that this must refer to the decorative trefoil headed mouldings at the top of the recessed panels on the two turrets. Unfortunately it is not possible to be sure about which of the two brickworks in Layham made the bricks although Roger observes that the buildings associated with brickworks around the country were usually built with the bricks they wanted to advertise. Thus it is reasonable to assume that the main manufacture in Upper Layham was of red bricks (Kiln House being built of red) and the main manufacture in Lower Layham was of white bricks (the house there being white). On the Lower Layham site there is also evidence of well burnt red bricks in the nearby barn which indicates that the brickmaker there had access to two colours of clay. It is interesting to know that 19th Century Layham craftsmen (probably working in Upper Layham) contributed to the important work of the upkeep of the Deanery Tower.

Introducing Lucy Harwood Portrait of Lucy Harwood by Cedric Morris Lucy Harwood (1893-1972) was a resident of Upper Layham from 1940 until her death in 1972. She was an artist of significant ability and, elsewhere in this magazine you will see an advertisement for an exhibition of some of her paintings to be held at the home of Richard and Wendy Harwood – Richard being her nephew. This will be a unique opportunity to see a group of her paintings, some of which are of local views, as most are privately owned and will probably never be brought together again. The exhibition will be in the barn beside The Granary (the white painted wooden building near Layham Mill) and will be open daily between 11am and 6pm from 11th to 17th June. Admission is free.

Lucy Harwood lived in Kiln House on Upper Street and moved there to be a student at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing opened by Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett Haines at Benton End. She considered herself to be a student there for at least 35 years and became woven into the life of what was an ‘artists’ colony’ with a constantly changing group of residents and visiting students. Lucy wrote a diary over most of the time she was resident here and the Harwood family have generously agreed that the entries relating to village life may be copied for inclusion in our Parish archive. Over the coming months, some of those entries will be featured in ‘Letter from Layham’. An appropriate ‘taster’ for this month is an entry of March 1944: “Went out painting by the river - chose the sunniest place – placed my easel almost in Layham Ford enjoying the sweet music of swift water for about 1 ½ hours and was quite warm in my historic fur rag - once a coat”. According to notes written for an exhibition of her work held at Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich, in 1988, Lucy was described as “eccentric” and having an “enthusiasm for colour that could always be seen in her unconventional clothes”.

Layham Playgroup ‘Royal Wedding & Farm Fever!’ How quickly time passes when you’re having fun! & this half term has certainly started with a fantastic fun frenzy. Our eager little thrill seekers have been put through their entertainment paces by our brilliant team, evident by their exhausted but happy faces at the end of each session. It seems such a long time ago now but the ‘Royal Wedding Tea Party’ was delivered with such enthusiastic panache, that there is a rumour our Layham Ladies maybe shortlisted to organise Harry’s?! The children had a wail of a time making & designing crowns, playing wedding themed games and feasting on a spread worthy of a future king! However pride of place had to go to THE cake! We had our first visit of the summer to Partridges Farm, thank you as ever Kim & Charles for a wonderful visit. The children were delighted by the newly hatched chicks and egg collecting. We visited the fields where all of the vegetables for the farm shop are grown and the lambs and pigs where highly entertaining, alongside the justifiable star of the show Rosie the pig. We hope to be back soon to see your new piglets. Back at the Village Hall we have turned our role playing area into a farm shop & the eggs we collected were made into an omelette for a nutritious health snack. (which didn’t touch the sides!) The beautiful late spring weather has been wonderful and we have taken full advantage of the lovely sun, with walks in the park, visiting the new lambs in the fields and playing in the garden. Our new seedlings have been very well watered!!! Thank you to everyone who came along & helped at our Spring Open Morning & contributed to a lovely event. The village hall was buzzing with visiting parents & children joining in with our regulars. By the numerous lovely comments we received, our visitors obviously enjoyed themselves. Quiz Night on Friday 10th of June, 7.30 for 8.00pm start, Layham Village Hall. Tickets are going very quickly, so don’t miss out. Teams of up to a maximum of 8 people. Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three Primary Schools in Hadleigh.

Rotary Review

Page 1

After Issue 3 came out, I have received The Hadleigh Historian letters from people researching family The Hadleigh Historian Issue 4 history. One gentleman wrote saying that June-July 2011 Price £3 he was the 4th generation of his family to live in Hadleigh and that he was most interested to see his grandfather mentioned in the article concerning Julia Cross. Another correspondent sent me details of her family, who were shopkeepers during the 19th and early 20th centuries, together with photographs and wondered if I would like to use the information for an article. Of course, my answer was “Yes please”! I am now planning a series of family history articles and wonder if you have details about your family that could be written up. How far back does your family go in Hadleigh? Where did the various members live and what were their occupations? Can a little bit of further research add a few more twigs or even branches to your family tree? In The Hadleigh Historian Issue 4 (June-July 2011), I welcome the first article by a guest contributor, Margaret Jeffery, who has written about Dr Arthur Franey, GP in Hadleigh from 1896 until 1927. He founded Hadleigh Cottage Hospital in George Street and spent much of his time fox hunting. The front-cover feature looks at Richard and Elizabeth Glanfield, both of whom died of plaque in 1637. Their son put up a memorial to them in Hadleigh Church, one of the most poignant monumental brasses I have seen. Dean Knox (rector 1841-1869) continues to visit his parishioners, this time in Duke Street or Duck Lane as he called it and Alice Fowler presides over the Guildhall kitchen during the first half of the 17th century. People living in Stone Street may be surprised to find that their homes appear on plans for proposed railways. These and other surveys covering the Hadleigh area feature in a guide to using maps to trace the history of your home. The Hadleigh historian Issue 4 (June-July 2011) is out now and available from Keith Avis Newsagents and from Idler Bookshop, price £3 Sue Andrews Here rest in the Lord Jesus, Richard Glanfield and Elizabeth his wife, laid together here in the year of our lord 1637. Both by hard and honest toil increased honourably their own wealth and that of the state. Both were joined together for almost four and twenty years and were not parted long by death itself. Therefore their grieving son Richard, Priest of Pembroke, covers them with this small work of duty, as they sleep in their cold bed of earth.

END POLIO NOW: The collecting boxes placed with various businesses in the town have been emptied and a total of £106.60 has been raised. This will be matched by a donation from the Bill Gates Foundation and pay for 1060 children to receive vaccinations against polio.Members would like to thank everyone who contributed as well as the following businesses which kinly housed boxes: Hollow Trees Farm Shop, Andrews Quality Butchers, Mill Pharmacy, MW Partridge & Co Ltd, Lady Lane Garage, Kings Head and Eight Bells. This money will be combined with £355 already raised by the Club and Hadleigh may be proud of a major contribution to the fight to rid the world of polio. A grand total of 4616 children will never suffer from polio thanks to you. ROTARY BURLTON CUP: This trophy is awarded annually at Hadleigh High School for excellence in business studies. This year the winner was MARTIN GREENACRE and he was presented with the cup at a recent awards ceremony at the school by Club President Mike Sands. Many Congratulations, Martin!! SPEAKERS: 1 John Robinson, club member, talked about the history of numbers and puzzled members with a couple of brain teasers. The first numbers appeared in 8000BC when the Sumerians began using a four number system As the civilisations developed so did the number systems until the current numerical code arrived. He did emphasise that his research only covered the Middle East and Europe with similar systems developing in China and India. 2 Michael Green, a new member, gave a presentation about his life and work. Hailing from Northamptonshire he also lived part of his early life in London and studied at the College of Industrial Trades and Institute of Industrial Psychology. He commenced his working life with C&A Modes but soon moved on to Mars International where he spent 25 years mainly in sales and marketing. On retiring early he became a researcher at the Food Institute liaising with Government Departmentd and Large supermarkets to try and improve the diet and health of poor communities. He visited many deprived areas to find out what they wanted from supermarkets and the Institute was instrumental in improving the amount and variety of fruit and vegetables as well as negotiating reductions in salt, fat and sugar content of foodstuffs Now fully retired Michael enjoys life in a village near Hadleigh.

A message from the President of Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, Roger Bannister At the Chamber’s stand this year we took you on a photographic journey of how business, retail, trade and commerce have developed from 1901 to 2011 in our town. We worked with Sue Andrews, who produced a special edition of the Hadleigh Historian called Shops and Traders of Hadleigh High Street in 1901, to achieve this exhibition. The Hadleigh Historian is now on sale in Keith Avis Printers and The Idler bookshop. Our special thanks go to Keith Avis Printers, who sponsored our photographic display, Bromley & Fitch, Hadleigh’s tile specialist, who served complimentary Pimm’s and delicious snacks. John Malseed, bicycle collector who loaned the Chamber a penny-farthing circa 1885 and a children’s tricycle circa 1890 and to confectioners Sweet Memories. Riddelsdell Brothers transported children and adults back in time, to learn more about the history of the vehicles by encouraging visitors to sit in the 1900, steam-driven car, Jaguar D type and children’s vintage cars. Congratulations to Mr Philbedge from Boxford, who correctly answered our competition question. What was the name of the King’s Head in 1900? The answer was The King’s Head, Mr Philbedge has won a three course meal for two.

Can you help? Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare is appealing for volunteers to help at essential fund raising events. Based in Leavenheath, SESAW is dedicated to the care and re-homing of sick and abandoned animals. This work would be impossible without the generosity of the public and tireless support of helpers. The charity is holding several sales in June and a few pairs of extra hands would lighten the load for the existing hard working team. Apart from running a stall and serving refreshments, goods have to be transported to and from the venue. Another important task is collecting money at local supermarkets which is done in relays of one or two hours. If you feel you can give just a few hours once or twice a month please phone 01206 799424. SESAW will be at the Long Melford British Legion Hall from 12.30 to 3pm on 5th June and the United Reform Church Hall Coffee Morning in Sudbury between 10 and midday on 11th June. The Anchor in Stratford St. Mary is holding a Late Risers Boot Sale for SESAW on 18th June from midday to 3pm. Pitches are only £5 - book early to avoid disappointment on 01206 322143.

New plans for Over-The-Counter Payments Service in Hadleigh Babergh District Council is aiming to make the process of paying bills simpler for a number of residents – despite plans to phase out the current service of taking cash, cheques and other payments over the counter at the Hadleigh Council offices. From June 13, the opening hours at the Hadleigh offices for people making payments for Council Tax, rent and other services will be reducing. From this date, the cash office will generally only be open each morning and not all day as has been the case in the past. The Council will then be closing the cash office completely later this year. The phased reduction in opening hours is to give people who currently use the Hadleigh cash office time to get used to the change and find alternative and convenient ways to make payments. In order that this process is as painless as possible for residents who will be affected, staff will be on hand to help them find a suitable alternative for payment and there will be advice leaflets available too. During the coming weeks we will be making contact with the current users of the service to advise about the changes and how else payments can be made in future. Barry Hunter, Babergh’s Director of Finance, said: “While we know there are still a number of people who prefer to pay overthe-counter, the majority of residents throughout the district use direct debit or other ways of paying bills and the number of people who use the service in Hadleigh is comparatively small compared to the cost to run the service. “We have learnt from other councils, many of which have already closed their cash offices, that there are many other very convenient ways of making payments and we will be doing everything possible to ensure any impact or inconvenience for our residents is minimised. “Although the ultimate closure of the cash office will, of course, save money, it also makes good sense to tell people of the many low-cost alternative methods of payment.” The cash office will be closed altogether later this year – in the autumn but until then we will continue to keep it open at its usual times on the busiest days in the month (see below). For customers that still want to pay their Rents or Council Tax in cash we will be able to make alternative arrangements for payments to be made at any Post Office and a number of local shops throughout the Babergh District. From Monday, June 13, the Cash Office will be available from 9am to 2pm each day, with the exception of the following dates when the service will be open all day: Friday, July 1: 9am - 4.30pm Monday, July 4: 9am - 5pm From July 5, the service will be reduced to 9.30am until 12.30pm with the exception of the following dates when again the Cashiers’ Service will be open all day: Monday, August 1: 9am - 5pm Tuesday, August 2: 9am - 5pm Thursday, September 1: 9 am - 5pm Friday, September 2: 9am - 4.30pm If you would like further information on how to pay for any bills and services from Babergh, please call: 01473 825798 or ask at our Customer Service Desk in the Hadleigh Office.

1000 Miles EACH! Two local lads are waving good bye to their families for 12 days to embark on an epic cycle ride in aid of East Anglia Children’s Hospices (EACH). Spurred on by a smaller fund raiser for EACH last year of just 100 miles, Dan Moat of Layham and Chris Wigglesworth of Willisham decided to raise the bar considerably to try and raise a remarkable £11,000 which whilst a huge sum will only fund the hospices for one day. Asked about his involvement Dan said “Anyone who knows me will immediately be thinking there must be a typo with the name or there is another leaner, fitter Dan Moat being referred to! No...it really is me! Perhaps now you understand just how ridiculously hard this trip is going to be for me. In October last year, I mentioned to Chris that I fancied a challenge and that a ride from London to Paris (c300 miles) was coming up in 2011 and would he like to do it with me? Chris had clearly been thinking of cycling the UK end to end for some time as he immediately said he wanted to tackle something more challenging......so Dover to Cape Wrath was born. I have only been cycling since June last year and am still completely daunted by the task ahead” As it turns out, this journey will now have extra significance for Dan, as directly afterwards he will be emigrating to take up a new role for his company in North America – “This will be a tough challenge but a great opportunity to see my country close up for a final time” he said. To help raise funds, Chris and Dan are appealing for donations and sponsors. They will add your company full colour logo to their white cycle shirts and advertise you mercilessly for 1000 miles over 12 days with space available from as little as 25p per mile! They would love to have your support, so please drop them a line to be a sponsor or feel free to make a donation through the just giving website no matter how big or small - every penny counts! All the details are on their website: www.dover2capewrath.moonfruit.com “We will be blogging and twittering our way across the country” commented Chris “so please feel free to get in touch and add your support – it will be a much needed lift to us after a long day in the saddle”. Remember – it costs £11,000 to run the hospices for just one day – so help them over the next few weeks to reach their goal and make their journey worthwhile, you can get involved by going to: www.dover2capewrath.moonfruit.com

I recently received an e-mail with an attachment. When I had opened the attachment it was a collection of beautiful photos of amazing scenery. Each photo had a caption. With a picture of mountains and valleys was the caption ‘What do I have to do to get your attention – put an ad in the paper, God’. Another picture of an amazing sunset said ‘We need to talk, God’. Can God really talk to us? Yes I believe He can and does. He talks to us in many ways through His word the Bible, through preaching and teaching but also through what we can see and hear. Have you ever thought how amazing our bodies are? We have hands that can do anything from building a house to playing a piano. We can hear the roaring thunder or the softest whisper. The Bible says ‘I am fearfully and wonderfully made.’ Psalm 139:14. What do you see when you look at yourself and the world around you? Do you see a pretty sunset from ‘Mother Nature’ or the handiwork of our Creator, God? So many people look but don’t really see. What about you? What do you see? God is all around us and ready to have a relationship with you, to be your friend Lord and Saviour here on Earth and for all eternity in Heaven. Get to know God because He already knows you inside and out, after all He made you. Lydia Ball

Boxford Village Hall Goes Pink! Send us your images for East As I am sure you will have noticed, during the Easter week the Village Hall underwent an amazing transformation from a dirty yellow to a clean pink. This was only possible due to an amazing amount of effort from a small band of volunteers. Two people in particular, who wished to remain anonymous, gave up their time in the weeks before the Easter weekend to ensure the walls had been scrubbed of all the dirt and green accumulated over many years. These same people then worked tirelessly to paint the rear and one side of the hall in the week before Easter. Due to their tremendous work, on Good Friday, one of the hottest days of the year so far, 3 members of the committee and 3 other volunteers were able to concentrate on painting the front and gable ends of the hall. It was a tremendous effort by all concerned and for which I thank them all very much. A thank you needs to go to Carl for the tremendous work he did in making good the walls on the steps and alongside the slope, which has greatly improved the appearance of the hall. Also to Buildbase who not only supplied a tower free of charge to enable us to reach the tops of the gable ends but also persuaded ICI to donate 50% of the paint that was required. Fundraising for installation of the Disabled toilet has continued with Sharon Ireland giving a wonderful and very tasty Pampered Chef evening. This was followed by 12 teams filling the hall for a wonderful music quiz hosted by Peter Norris. Both events were thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended and contributed ÂŁ800 towards the ÂŁ5000 required for this project. Saturday 2nd July will see the Village Hall host an eighties night, again raising funds for the Disabled toilet this is promising to be a very popular evening, if you wish to attend then tickets are available from Boxford News. Finally, Sunday 10th July will also see a fundraising event with a difference and something, which we believe, has never been done on behalf of the hall before. I have persuaded Veronica and Robert to join me in doing an abseil down Ipswich Maternity block. I suspect that this will be made that bit harder because neither Veronica or I are keen on extreme heights! To ensure we do not back out at the last minute, please do your best to sponsor us for as much as you can. You would also be most welcome to come and support us on the day as I am sure we will need all the encouragement possible. We are currently scheduled to begin the descent between 2pm and 3pm. Julian Fincham-Jacques, Boxford Village Hall Chairman

Â&#x192; Tug of War

Bentwaters Cold War Museum Acquire Lightning Fighter Jet Bentwaters Cold War Museum have been gifted a Lightning fighter by BAE Systems from its company's factory at Rochester, Kent. The aeroplane originally flew with the Royal Saudi Air Force in the late 1960's through to 1986 followed by a period in a salvage yard before a full restoration at Rochester was carried out. The only British built fighter to exceed twice the speed of sound the Lightning's role was air defence and frequently was scrambled to intercept Soviet aircraft sent to spy and probe the UK airspace. Though hampered by poor range due its thirsty engines and limited radar and weapons control, RAF pilots would regularily beat much more modern aeroplanes in combat training excercises and it has been sorely missed since retirement in 1988. Painted in 56(F) Squadron colours typical of Lightnings that were based at Wattisham in Suffolk and were a familiar sight in East Anglain skies, BCWM were only too pleased to accept the offer of this iconic cold war jet when a lack of funds for its unkeep meant that a new home had to be found. Transporting the Lightning required it to be dismantled and carrying out this task on such a large airframe is not easy and the Lightning especially presents difficulties which has led some museums to cut through sections instead. "The wings are not being cut. We like to do things correctly where possible and cutting the wings was never really an option for us." said BCWM chairman Graham Haynes. The fin, cockpit, wings, tailplanes, missile pack, belly tank sections and other panels will all be removed to facilitate transport back to the new Suffolk home of ZF581 where she will join Hunter GA11 XE707 and, following their respective restorations, Sepecat Jaguar GR.1A XX741 and Gloster Meteor F.8 WH453. Bentwaters Cold War Museum is open the first & third Sundays of the month from Easter to end October and Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays, more details can be found at http://www.bcwm.org.uk/.

Bright Star (Pg) £3 (accompanied children £2) FRIDAY 24th JUNE at 7.30 pm A Five Star Love Story for our June Film ! On 24th June we are delighted to present BRIGHT STAR an exquisite piece of filmmaking by director Jane Campion. The story is the three-year relationship between Fanny Brawn - played by Abbie Cornish - and her neighbour, the poet Keats, in the guise of Ben Whishaw. They first met in 1818 when Keats was 23 and it is now regarded as one of the great love stories of English literature - a slowburning affair which was halted by Keats’ succumbing to tuberculosis; their love story did not become public knowledge until a decade after Brawn's death in 1865 Using Andrew Motion's magisterial book as the film's biographical source and Keats’ poetry as her creative model, director Campion has made what she calls “a story poem” about their relationship - a doomed love affair that moves gently towards Keats' death through the seasons that the poet observes. Both actors Cornish and Whishaw inhabit their roles immaculately. BRIGHT STAR is a British-Australian co-production, a film and a biopic that thankfully never feels a typical example of either genre. The film was largely shot in Bedfordshire and was released in 2009 to critical acclaim. “THE KING’S SPEECH” coming soon! Look out for the new cinema brochures which will be available at the end of the month in the usual outlets. You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre

Ebony’s Blog My life at The Shelley Centre Well, it’s anything but quiet here at present with May having been a very busy month, not to mention what’s coming up for June. In the first instance the re-surfacing of the stable yard and entrance has been completed and it’s looking very smart too: there has been an upgrade to the arena surface, in effect finishing off what was started last year, and that’s on the maintenance side only. Oh! And the Ragwort is now showing itself which will keep the field lads busy from now on……Any volunteers to help on this one?…A chance to enjoy the fresh air and views across the beautiful Brett Valley? The Fund Raising team are busy too. On May 1st The Centre held a very successful 10 mile sponsored Countryside walk, and then on 21st we hosted a Stand at the Hadleigh Show, displaying a range of items for sale; both events for the purpose of boosting funds. A number of Volunteers attended the East Region Training Day, one of the subjects being Autism, and before that, on 8th May, 7 Riders, 4 horses, together with their supporting Helpers, carers and parents travelled to Oaklands College, St. Albans, for the Regional Qualifying Dressage & Countryside Challenge Competition. In spite of nerves being on edge our Riders enjoyed a very successful day with three qualifying for the National Championships at Hartpury in July: well done everyone! And a confession; I’m in hot water with Rocky because I laughed at him as he passed by the other day with his mane in plaits……not sure if he will forgive me yet? As far as June goes, we have the Stratford Hills Horse Trials over two days, 18/19th which is also in aid of The Shelley Centre and other charities, where some of our Helpers will be busy officiating in some capacity and the week following, Sunday 26th June, will be the Shelley Show which Riders and Helpers have been busy practicing and preparing for, for some time now. As mentioned last month we have increased our Helper numbers which has enable us to add another ride: the new intake of Riders started after the Easter holidays so the pace of life is keeping high for our Helpers and the Herd, and me. As you can see they have enjoyed their new challenge and are looking forward to continuing their new adventure…… I think it’s all too much, I must go for a lay down……except I’ve just remembered, I can’t, because my feet are bolted to the floor: such are the problems for a mechanical horse! www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473.824172

Many many thanks for your support I would just like to say thank you to the Hadleigh Thrift Shop and its customers for giving generous donations for the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal. The donations have been sent to the Japan Red Cross, via the British Red Cross, and will be spent to help the Tsunami victims in North of Japan. As an earthquake-prone country we are taught and prepared, since small age, for the danger of earthquake and tsunami but we didn't expect that extent. And recover from that devastation we have seen on TV it'll take long time and effort. On behalf of my people I would like to thank you all very much indeed. Beak Brown

Bridge Street Allotments OPEN DAY SUNDAY, 12TH JUNE 2 – 5 P.M. Following last year's successful Open Day, members of the public will again have the opportunity to walk round the Bridge Street Allotments, talk to allotment holders and see what new improvements have been made. A herb garden has been planted out and and a small area has been designated as a wild plant site. Last summer a bore hole was dug and we now have a traditional hand pump to provide water for the allotments. This has proved invaluable during the dry weather. There will be a plant stall and a plant display. Soft drinks, cakes and scones will be available.

Hadleigh Community Primary News Royal Wedding Last month, we told you about some of the great things we had planned in response to the Royal wedding. In addition to this, throughout the school there were a number of Royal Wedding themed activities taking place during the two school days we had before the extra bank holiday. Most notably, years R and 1 joined together as a unit and celebrated the event with a huge ‘street’ party, held on our field. In preparation for this event, they had taken part in a range of food technology exercises including making sandwiches, icing cakes (red, white and blue of course!) and designing wedding cakes. They also made their own bunting and flags, designed confetti and made the boxes to put it in, designed and tested aeroplanes and made memorabilia plates. The climax of the event was when two children from Reception were chosen to be the prince and his bride. They stood in the centre of two rings while the children sang: The prince wants a wife (as opposed to the farmer), and were showered with the home-made confetti! I have to say, there truly is never a dull moment at Hadleigh Community Primary school!

Years three, four and five all took the opportunity to look at the superb display of art, which, of course, acts as an inspiration to our children. In addition, there were a number of resident artists there on the ‘schools’ day’, and they gave useful tips to our children, who listened intently. Of particular note is the artist who encouraged the children to paint upside down! It was also good to see some work from the High School on display this year – giving our children a taste of what could be expected of them at GCSE. Volcano eruption at Hadleigh CPS Nursery! Several of the children in Nursery are very interested in dinosaurs and this interest has led on to volcanoes. So with this in mind the children made a volcano, using junk materials and mod-roc, with Mrs Cooper (Teaching Assistant). On Wednesday 11th May it erupted in the Nursery playground! The children and staff were excited to see red ‘lava’ bubbling from the top and flowing down the sides of the volcano.

Psychoanalyst Individual and Marital Psychotherapist Seen any lions lately? The children in Year three are now well into their preparations for their play - the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Once more, we are able to ensure a whole year group is able to work together towards a common goal, and since their play is being prepared whilst years 4 – 6 are at camp, it ensures the slightly younger children do not feel left out and are still doing something ‘different’ yet still valuable at this time. Date for your diary Advance notice that Saturday 2nd July is the day of our school fete. There will be a large number of stalls, including those prepared and manned by year six as part of their economic education. Mr Peters is going to run a number of sporting tournaments. There will be cakes sales, book stalls, plant stalls, a car boot sale and we will also be selling burgers, strawberries, ice creams and tea and coffee. Please come and support our school, and see what a great site we have. You will be very welcome.

Holon Perhaps we should consider our health problems as a multi-choice survey 1) You’re driving home in your car and suddenly the red ‘check engine’ light comes on. Do you a) Cover it with a bit of masking tape and hope for the best? b) Jam a screwdriver into the dash, breaking the light and keep on driving? or c) Book the car in for repairs asap before you do more damage? 2) You’re feeling run down, tired and you’re back hurts. Do you a) Take a pain killer and hope for the best? b) Get yourself onto anti-depressants and keep on going? or c) Book yourself a professional consultation, which I can offer at Holon, and get to the root of the problem? The answer in both cases is of course c). If you answered a) or b), then don't be surprised if things get worse . STOP PRESS - Wednesday afternoon is donation clinic.

News from St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Primary School On May 5th the Nursery classroom was used as a polling station. The children in Reception and the Nursery used the opportunity to visit Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm. The children were very excited and there was lots of support from the parents. Luckily, the sun was shining and the children had a wonderful day. In particular, they enjoyed making dens and feeding the baby goats with a bottle. The beautiful butterflies amazed the children when they landed on the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands! The children from Elm class spent a fun day at Colchester Castle to support their castles topic. This termâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topic is all about what it was like to live in a castle in the past. The children had the chance to go onto the castle roof and climb the big spiral staircase. There was a guided â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour, which included looking at the dungeons and finding out about how the castle was used as a prison. The children really enjoyed dressing up in different costumes and learning about old toilets! Thanks to all the parents who came along to help. We were delighted to Ervenette from UHUK (United Haitians in the UK). She talked to the whole school about the good causes UHUK support in Haiti and the progress that has been made since the earthquake last year. In particular, the charity supports a school in Port-au-Prince and local children. We were very pleased to present her with a large cheque for ÂŁ400. The children raised the money by taking part in a sponsored walk and selling things that were donated. Our best wishes are with UHUK and all the people of Haiti. Thank you to all the people who have helped in Worship recently, including Pastor Greg Frost and Mrs Powell, who talked to the children about receiving an MBE. We saw the certificate and watched a video of her meeting the Queen. Mrs Powell talked to the children about how important it is to help in your community. Thanks to all the parents, children and staff members who made our Royal Wedding Tea Party such a success. The event was really well attended by the whole school community. There were refreshments and cakes for sale as well as games to play and competition to enter, such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;guess the weight of the cakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Beforehand, the children had made special hats, bunting and other decorations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the hall looked so colourful! Everyone dressed in red, white and blue to add even more colour to the occasion. The Tea Party was great fun and we all enjoyed getting together to celebrate.

Porch Project Associates Recently the young people of the porch project put on an event known as the associates of the porch project whereby they waited on people, serving them tea, cake and scones. There were over 100 people turned up to hear about the project from the young people. The young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management team was introduced and then they spoke about being a part of the porch project management team and also what the project means for them. People where very encouraged and uplifted. Also PC Matt Paisley came and gave a very honest presentation about the positive and negative effects of the project and this was very refreshing to hear about how people in the community feel about the project both the positive and negative comments. If anyone wants to find out more about the project the website is www.porchproject.co.uk and this will give you all the details you may want to know and also contact details for myself. Craig Hutton

Hadleigh High Delighted at Outstanding Inspection Result Hadleigh staff and pupils were delighted to be graded as ‘Outstanding’ in their recent Ofsted subject inspection of IT (Computer Technology). The pupils’ learning and the quality of teaching were recognised as being of the highest standard as was the Leadership and Management at the school. The Inspector also took the time to rate the behaviour of Hadleigh pupils as excellent and commented upon the great atmosphere and enjoyment he saw in lessons. These factors all contribute to the very high standard of results that Hadleigh pupils achieve. All members of our school community are thrilled that Ofsted has recognised that our approaches to teaching and learning allow Hadleigh pupils to achieve excellent examination results and develop the skills they need to become independent learners while developing a life-long love of learning. Employers tell us that IT skills are essential for future success and we are committed to preparing our pupils to develop the skills they require in a rapidly changing world.

News from The Library Year 7 celebrated Reading Week from 9th-13th May. Reading Week is run by the Library and the English department to promote literacy and reading for pleasure. There were many activities taking place such as lunchtime quizzes, guess the teacher reading competition, the Scholastic Book Fair, a Where’s Wally hunt and a book themed nonuniform day. The non-uniform day was a great success and money raised will go towards developing the Year 7 courtyard garden and also to the charity ‘Book Aid International’ which supports literacy and education in

Teachers also took the time during lessons to read extracts of the book ‘Billionaire Boy’ by David Walliams to the pupils. The book was so popular that there have been lots of requests to borrow the book from the Library. The feedback from pupils and staff has been very positive and we look forward to celebrating Year 7 Reading Week again next year.

Year 11 We would like to say good luck and farewell to all Year 11s who are presently taking their final exams, and leaving the school after 5 years of hard work. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours. Music Concert Congratulations to all who took part in the Summer Concert. It was a fantastic evening which once again highlighted the diverse talents of students at Hadleigh High. As you may be aware, this was Mr Brown’s last concert. He commented on the brilliant atmosphere of the evening and felt that every student involved performed excellently. Mr Brown is sad to be going but has thoroughly enjoyed his 24 years of meeting new talented students with a variety of musical interests. School Captain Candidates With School Captain interviews taking place on Friday the 23rd of May, everyone is really excited to find out who will be this year’s Head Boy and Head Girl. The last 8 hopeful candidates are: Toby Rankin, Oliver Emmerson, Paul Midgely, and Mallory Dixon for Head Boy, and Collette Bunce, Misha Dewes, Millie Forbes and Lorna McGhee for Head Girl. All the candidates are working really hard, and they all really deserve the role. Good luck to all of them. Eco Warriors fighting for their Litter Pick Lately, the Eco Warriors have been very busy, concentrating on making this school a better place for the students. All Hadleigh High students took part last week in the school litter pick, and the enthusiasm showed through the dramatic difference made to the school. Congratulations to people who collected the most rubbish! To reward the whole school’s success, materials have been ordered in preparation for a new amphitheatre that Mr Brunt will be building. It’ll be great for teaching, especially drama lessons, and hopefully it’ll be built by the end of the school year. Eco warriors are also supporting Year 7, who are creating a butterfly and insect garden. This will encourage biodiversity within the school grounds, and may be useful to teach science lessons. If anyone has plants, pots, or compost that they wish to donate, please contact Miss Hogan or Mrs Calvino at the school. Duke of Edinburgh Hot, hurting, and hungry, about 13 students from Year 10 completed their 25 kilometre hike over the weekend. This involved walking over 15

kilometres on the first day, with massive 50-80 litre backpacks weighing them down. As you can imagine, this was very challenging, both physically and mentally. After setting up their tents, cooking their own food, and repacking their tents, they set off again, for another 10 kilometres (or more if they got lost...which some did)! Work Experience On the 20th June, Year 10 students will be starting their two weeks of Work Experience placements. This gives the students an opportunity to experience what working will be like when they are older in the real world. The placements range from office jobs, to working in the theatre. The students are all looking forward to having an insight into what it is like to work, and are excited to get started.

raise awareness of the risks and consequences of smoking. Congratulations to Seth Philbedge (8H) who was selected to play hockey for Suffolk (Under 13s) this season. He has played in a number of matches against other counties and the season culminated in a tournament involving 7 Eastern Counties this weekend in Bedford. Suffolk played extremely well, winning all but one of their 6 matches, which resulted in silver medal winning position. Seth has only been playing hockey for a year, since being introduced to the sport in Year 7 at Hadleigh High. It is also worth noting that we believe he is the only state school pupil selected for the Suffolk first XI. We therefore think that this is a great achievement for both Seth and the school.

Year 10 go fishing By Ellen Boorman, Collette Bunce, Emily Bell, Anita Patel, Bryony Farrow, Kelly Alleyne, Megan Baldry and Toby Rankin.

Cleaner Wanted for Hadleigh High School On 11th and 18th May the Year 10 ASDAN group went fishing at Bramford Fishing Lakes to complete a challenge on taking part in an outdoor activity. Stuart Snowling had kept his fishing experience quiet but his skill and knowledge was obvious to everyone when he caught some of the largest fish in the first few minutes! Fish caught included common carp, roach and rudd. Despite initial squeamishness EVERYONE got to grips with the live bait. Huge thanks to Richard Watson the fishing Coach who guided us through. Treehouse Appeal Hadleigh High has been involved in raising part of the £3,000,000 that the Treehouse appeal needed to build their new children’s hospice. This will be built in the middle of a wood, hence the name. We did this through a non-uniform day, selling bath bombs, and money-raising raffles by the Health and Social Care Group. Mrs. Jo Russell Redman, an ex-teacher of English at Hadleigh died at the end of April. The staff who knew her sent a donation to the appeal in memory of her. Suffolk Stop Smoking Oscars 2011 (Mrs Thomas Subject Leader for PSHEe) During spring term PSHEe lessons, Year 8 pupils made films around the theme of ‘stop smoking’ as part of their drug education programme. Some of these were entered into the NHS Suffolk Stop Smoking Oscars competition. On Thursday 12th May following receipt of 9 nominations over 4 films, it was with excitement that 18 smartly dressed pupils went to the awards ceremony at Cineworld in Ipswich. Once there, pupils had their photographs taken in a limousine, entered the cinema on a red carpet, drank fizz at a ‘champagne’ reception and rubbed shoulders with people from the NHS, the Local Authority, local media organisations and VAT is moving online from April 2010 other schools from across Suffolk. 10 schools were represented, with Hadleigh films having received the most nominations. By the end of the evening extravaganza, I am extremely proud to say that our pupils had received three awards out of the 10 available!

We are into year four of the Hanging Gardens of Hadleigh. Last year’s display has been voted the best so far, but we aim to top it in 2011! Thanks to the sponsors, Hadleigh High Street bursts into bloom each summer with 60 hanging displays. Listed below are the contributors who last year pledged nearly £7,000 to finance the scheme. It was set up as a community project under the umbrella of Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce and run by volunteers, notably Guy Ormes and Ron Jenkins. The idea was that traders and residents would contribute to a scheme that benefits everyone....those who live, work and shop in the town. Support from shopkeepers has been amazing but this year it would be good – and fair – if all Hadleigh traders contributed to an initiative which benefits us all; if your customers benefit then so do you! We have listed last year’s sponsors below. If you’re not on the list, please try to join us this year. We need more support from bigger companies in the town and it would also be good to see greater involvement from groups of residents in clubs and organisations, or even groups of neighbours. If you would like to support the scheme please complete the form below and send it with your cheque, at £50 per basket, to Cyndy Hilton, Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, Priory Hall, Benton Street, Hadleigh, IP7 5AZ. Each individual pledge of £50 goes towards planting and maintaining the baskets from June to September. For more information please contact Cyndy on 01473 823185 or 07711 321907. 2010 Sponsors: Adnams; Andrews Butchers; Ansell Community Centre; Baskwood Consulting; Brian Riley; Big White Space Ltd; Bridge Street Allotments; Bromley and Fitch; Clex Developments; Colin and Cherry Crawford; Complete Cars; Co-Op; Derek Dunstone Opticians; Chris Edgar; Edgehall Hotel; Edwards of Hadleigh; Free Rein Ltd; Frost Estate Agents; Gro Landscapes; Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce; Hadleigh Charity Shop/Daisy Chain; Hadleigh and District Garden Club; Hadleigh Kitchens & Bathrooms; Hadleigh Pet Supplies; Hadleigh Post Office; Hadleigh Rotary Club; Hadleigh Town Council; Hadleigh Twinning Association; Hadleigh Tyre Group; Hadleigh U3A Club; Sir John and Lady Diana Hall; Hems and Wilson Dental Practice; Highcliff Vets; Idler; Jolly Meat Company; Keith Avis Printers; Kings Head; Les Hymas; Lavender Hall Kindergarten; Morton Smith & Sands; Partridges; Precision Law; Priory Hall Ltd; The Hair Lounge; The Jewel Box; Thompson Financial; VC News; Walter Wright.

Can a local business help? I am currently a student at Hadleigh High School and I leave school in May but am unable to be employed until the end of June as I am not 16 until August. I am reliable, an excellent time keeper, hard working, honest and willing to learn. Please could anybody offer me paid employment ideally I am interested in working outside but would be extremely willing to work anywhere and doing anything. I have written many letters and made many phone calls and sadly received rejections although one local business has been exceptionally supportive and offered me a few weeks employment to gain a small amount of experience in the working world. Please is there any business which feel they could help? Please call Maria on 07964 741484

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts As I write this the main thought for most gardeners (and farmers) is the absence of significant rain. I am already having to do some watering mainly of vegetable and fruit crops, but also of some shallow rooted plants like Phlox. A lot of perennial plants are growing slowly because of the lack of water. If you do water remember that a good soak once a week is much better than 7 daily sprinkles. The sprinkle will evaporate quickly, and attract roots to the surface where they will suffer more. The other topic that concerns me at the moment is potting compost. For several years I have tried to minimise my use of peat, and have tried to use peat free composts. This year when I needed some potting compost I went to Partridges, Buyright, and Bypass Nurseries, and none of them had a peat free compost on sale, so I had to go back to a standard peat based product. Subsequently I found that Bypass Nurseries are now offering one, which I am trying. The peat free products do vary depending on what they are made from, and often need different amounts of watering. I would like to get used to a product and then use it year after year, but what I find is that each year the products on offer are different. It is government policy to totally phase out peat in composts by 2030, and there are active discussions at the moment about intermediate targets with the possibility that peat in composts will be phased out for amateurs earlier than professionals. My largest use for potting compost is in the 12" pots that I use for tomatoes, and for this purpose I make my own from garden soil, compost from my compost heaps and sharp sand.

It makes the 3 month running figure 53.8 mm (2.1") which is a near record low for the same period. It is only beaten by a figure of 52.9 mm in October 2003. So far May is dry so this figure will probably be beaten next month. In April the maximum temperature was 26 Cel (79F), and the minimum was 3 Cel (37F). So April was very warm with no frosts. In my garden the ground temperature in mid April is 13 Cel (55 F) which is slightly warmer than average.

Hints As you walk around your garden watch out for problems, and catch them before they get out of hand. I do use various sprays some times, but not very often. A lot of pests can be disposed of by hand or foot, with less effort than it takes to get the insecticide. Slugs seem to love to drown themselves in beer. I personally find the fungus diseases more difficult than the other pests, and this is where I do tend to spray. For example with black spot on roses one can pick off the odd leaf and burn it, but if there are a lot the only answers are to spray, or to stop growing the plant. Tomatoes are quite widely grown, but beginners often get confused about how they should be managed. There are two types "indeterminate" and "determinate". These terms describe the way in which they grow. In

"indeterminate" varieties a shoot will grow continuously. This makes it easy to grow the plant as a single stem, by taking off the side shoots when they are small. If you are short of plants the side shoots can be rooted as cuttings. In a determinate variety the top of the shoot will stop growing naturally. This means that the plant will naturally form a small bush with out any shoot removal. Most greenhouse varieties are indeterminate and side shoots should be removed otherwise the plant will try to form a very large bush. Most outdoor varieties are determinate. John Rye

Hadleigh & District Garden Club We welcomed Andrew Hellman one of the team that run Hyde Hall R.H.S. Gardens, on May 9th, to give us a talk and show us slides of the gardens transition from the original owners concept and design to the hugely enlarged area it now covers! It has changed from a moderately domestic garden to what will be a pretty vast area including woodland as well as the more usual planting of roses, herbaceous boarders, shrubs, trees, exotics and of course water. They are now well into planting literally thousands of trees each year which involves the difficult task of keeping every one watered, weeded and generally fussed over for three years. The water situation spawned a pretty large reservoir which now meets their needs and is filled up by draining all their spare surface water into it rather than having to take ground water. There are now lots of new areas to explore, including the “Queen Mother Garden” and I am sure those of us who visit on 21st June, will thoroughly enjoy that angle, (even if we’ve visited often before) this new phase, which also includes a dry garden that is never watered. Of course those keen on retail therapy, the new visitor centre with shop and plant centre will be fully open to cater for their needs as well as licensed restaurant and cafe. Our June 13th meeting will be a talk on composting and care of the soil. At this meeting there will be a compettion for a vase of flowers of between 5 and 10 stems and must comprise of at least two different kinds of plants not just varieties of the same plant. No berries or seed heads may be used and it must be viewed all round For more information phone Ruth Allen 822323

Dear Sir

Please write to: Kelvin Avis 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF or email: kelvin@keithavis.co.uk

Dear Sir I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people in the Hadleigh South Ward who voted for me. I feel greatly honoured to have been elected as Councillor for the Ward on 5th May and am most grateful to you. I would also like to thank Brian Riley, Conservative Councillor for Hadleigh North, who kindly helped me during my campaign. I tried to visit as many homes as possible prior to the election, but some people were out and I was unable to visit everyone, so if I did not meet you I apologise. If you wish to meet me in the future, or have a problem you need to discuss, please feel free to contact me. There are various ways you can do that; along with Brian Riley, I will be holding a monthly surgery at the library on the second Saturday of the month from 11am – 12 noon. The first one will be 11th June. My email address and telephone number can be accessed via the Babergh web site or by calling the Babergh office. Meeting so many residents during the run-up to the election gave me the opportunity to listen to your concerns. Now I have been elected as Councillor, the work will begin to do my best to serve the community and take action to remedy those concerns where possible. Kathryn Grandon, District Councillor for Hadleigh South

Dear Sir I was just wondering if you could do a special mention in your next issue for the George pub. Me and my new husband had our wedding meal there on Saturday 23rd April and they were absolutely brilliant and so kind and generous. We had found out a week before our wedding that unfortunately we had been conned by a dodgy photographer and lost £500 that we had paid him. The managers at the George had heard about this and all of their staff very kindly donated £100 to us towards a new photographer. We were so touched by this and think it is such a lovely gesture and shows what a nice village Hadleigh is to live in. Mr and Mrs Sutton

One hears a lot these days of indifferent, indeed, poor service that I felt I must tell you of the wonderful service given to us by a local company. We have recently had two new carpets laid by A. J. Carpets (Kevin) of the High Street. Kevin came and measured up for us, gave us a price, told us not to worry about a thing. At the appointed time two young men turned up and in less than an hour they had removed the old carpet, first removing all the furniture! They then swept the floor before laying the new one. They even vacuumed the new carpet before putting back into place the furniture. Never have I seen two young men work so fast! Well done all at A. J. Carpets. Pat Woodberry

Dear Sir With your permission, I would like to announce an event at Crabtrees Cafe Bar, Hadleigh, on the 18th of June 2011 at 8.00 pm where we shall see a clean shaven Paul Lane emerge, as he serves his punishment for Impersonating ‘Santa’, ‘Fidel Castro’, 2 Members of ‘ZZ Top’ and the ‘Wild Man of Borneo’. All for a very good cause, the reward will be split two ways, ‘The Woolverstone Wish Fund’ and ‘Lupus UK’. Sponsor Forms can be found in various shops and stores in Hadleigh Town. Let us see how much can be raised by the good people in the Hadleigh Community News readership for these two charities. John E Caley

Dear Sir In the last issue of the Community News Daniel Quinlan voiced his concern about Hadleigh Town Council contributing £30,000 per annum to supporting the new Community Facility adjoining the Swimming Pool. The money that has been put aside annually was intended as a contribution towards a New Swimming pool at a time when it seemed that the Hadleigh Pool was going to be closed. However the pool now has a commitment from Babergh for it’s continuation and that is well identified by the investment of some £500,000 in rebuilding the changing rooms and the new heating plant. I have been a daily user of the pool for some 15 years, and before that was involved in raising money for the pool to be built and my children learned to swim there, so I am personally well aware of the facilities it offers and the changes we have seen over the last few years. Since South Suffolk Leisure Trust have been running the pool at Hadleigh and Kingfisher both pools have seen investments and in Hadleigh we have enjoyed not only the new changing rooms but a warmer and cleaner pool and surroundings. Like most other residents in Hadleigh I complained bitterly over the loss of East House whilst appreciating it was probably not the ideal building for to-days community use, and objected to it’s potential sale, putting Hadleigh money into the Babergh coffers Now Babergh are showing a commitment to Hadleigh in building a new Community Facility including a Fitness Centre which will help with the finances of the Community part of the development and the Swimming Pool. So why are residents complaining that they are getting a new, fit for purpose, building. Mr Quinlan disputes South Suffolk Leisure’s financial viability. As a Trustee of South Suffolk Leisure (a voluntary position with absolutely no ‘perks’) I am well aware of its’ financial state, I would not have been prepared to work with them if I believed they had financial problems. There are a number of organisations in Hadleigh providing services for our young people but there are not enough facilities available to the 900 or so young people in the town, or for seven days a week. Regardless of what Mr Qunilan suggests Hadleigh Town Council has looked carefully and frequently at the accommodation for possible use of our youth and there is no other space that can be designated for their dedicated use For years Hadleigh Town Council have provided the sporting facilities at Layham Road, which cost a basic £15,000 per annum plus vast amounts more from time to time for repairs or improvements to the facilities there. These facilities are well used but by a fairly limited section of the population. Why are there complaints then that the Town Council is prepared to financially support the new community facility which have the potential to be used by all ages and abilities.? I am probably better known for knocking Babergh than praising them, but this is an occasion when I a prepared to say Thank You for putting money back into Hadleigh, in this development. Jan Byrne

A Smash Hit At Fidelis It’s hard to believe that Clarice Cliff pottery was once the target for fairgrounds’ ‘smash the crockery’ stalls. Perhaps if they hadn’t been the remaining complete items wouldn’t be so sought after. Certainly local collector, Robin Stone, wouldn’t have felt the need to seek out a replacement for the CC Liz Wilson, Robin Stone and Barbara candle holder he Tryon with Clarice Cliff pottery obliterated on a fun day out many moons ago. That’s how it all started and lead on to his interest in the lady potter herself. Clarice’s fascinating life story and exploits captured the imagination of the Fidelis ladies too when Robin recently visited the group. He brought many examples of her unique styled pottery to illustrate his talk. Sad to learn that, after a colourful life far ahead of her time, this talented highly successful craftswoman became a recluse and died alone. However, many of her unique patterns and pottery shapes have survived and continue to challenge collectors world wide. How fortunate that, in Suffolk, we need go no further than Clare to enjoy some outstanding pieces of her work. Jan Devey

Trivia Fundraiser Tops Last Year’s Total Local hearing care specialists and super-keen fundraisers The Hearing Care Centre have been at it again, raising money for their beloved chosen charity Hearing Dogs For Deaf People. Over 180 people crammed into the main hall at Greshams Sports and Social Club in Ipswich, for a fun night of trivia, and light-hearted camaraderie with the aim to raise over £1,400; the total raised at the same event in 2010. Guests enjoyed 10 rounds of spirited rivalry, and it was a very close contest all evening, before finally the team led by Capel St Mary resident, Mr Andy Agent, came out as winners, taking home £200.00 worth of High Street shopping vouchers. The team that came last did not go home empty handed, and were given a fact book, to allow them to brush up on their knowledge for next year! The Hearing Care Centre, who look after people’s hearing across Suffolk, managed to raise an incredible £1,437.20, topping last years total, and taking their overall fundraising total for Hearing Dogs to £18,589.20. Karen Finch, Managing Director of The Hearing Care Centre, who are based on High Street in Ipswich said, “I was just flabbergasted at just how many people came along and support our event. We all know that times are hard at the moment, but you wouldn’t of known it tonight!” “Everyone has been so generous from people buying tickets, to placing bids in our auction, to sponsors donating fantastic prizes – I cannot thank them enough”, said Karen.

Welcome to this months Police news item. KNOCK KNOCK…… Are you expecting a caller? Don’t become a victim of a bogus caller. A bogus caller can be a man, woman- or even a child. The most common tricks they use to get into people’s homes and steal money or valuables are: • Claiming to be from the Waterboard. • Asking to use the toilet or telephone. • Claiming to have lost a ball in the garden. • Offering to do work on the house, such as gardening or building work. • Claiming to be from a Charity, the Local Council or the Police. Remember water, gas and electricity companies will always tell you in advance that they are going to call. They will never just turn up at your door. Always ask for identification before you let someone in your home and if in doubt leave them outside whilst you check with a neighbour or friend. If you can’t do this ask them to call back when someone can be with you. If you are concerned about a caller at your door, call the Police on 999. WITHOUT YOUR HELP THE POLICE CAN NOT STOP BOGUS CALLERS Neighbourhood Panel Meeting - Forthcoming meetings and venues.

We are pleased to announce that Christchurch Ladies will host a Junior tournament on Sunday 12th June at Chantry Sports Centre/ Astroturf pitch. Christchurch Ladies Hockey Club is a section within Christchurch Ladies' Club which won the 2010 Ipswich Sports award, Ipswich Club of the year. Last year the Ladies 1st hockey team X1 won the Suffolk Premier League and progressed to the East League, Div 2NE. This year the Ladies 2nd XI raised their game to clinch promotion as Suffolk Division 1 Champions and aim to enjoy the Suffolk Premier League next season! We train at Hadleigh High School on their Astroturf pitch and play Senior matches at Chantry High School. Junior matches are held at both venues. Our Junior team train on alternating Sunday mornings and have been building up in strength to make an excellent young team. When asked what they wanted to do to mark the end of this season, they enthused about entering into a tournament. Hence we have decided to host a 7 aside tournament for ladies in the age group 14 and under. Tournament details When: Sunday 12th June, Chantry sports centre, Ipswich IP2 9HF, Time: 10AM Further Information from 07734 965939.

Hadleigh Carpet Bowls Club All in all, it was a rather tough but exciting Winter League with unfortunately the usual winter ills and the very sad loss of one of our most liked and talented players. At times it did look as if we may be dropping into the lower league however our team played a brilliant last match and thus secured our right to stay in Division Two East for another season., well done to all members, players and supporters. We finished sixth in the league having won nine matches and lost nine bringing a smile to our Club Captain Chris. We now go into the Summer League, playing threes and fours, and on Tuesday played our first match against our friends at Whatfield. We were welcomed most warmly and settled down to what we knew would be ,as usual with our neighbours, a real tough one and so it was , being well beaten with a score of ten/zero. However, this has now prepared us for the matches to come and the will to win. Four of our members went along recently to a bowls week-end at Hemsby to wave the flag for our Hadleigh Club and whilst respected by the numerous top players were unable to bring home the treasured trophy. However, two members spent their spare time in the snooker room which unknown to them was shown on the interior television circuit and produced somewhat ribald comments at the breakfast table next morning. So to all those thinking of joining our club, you will see that we have a good social gathering and the summer is now the time to join where we travel our lovely countryside to visit our country cousins, so why not come along for just an evening to look us over. We play at Hadleigh Primary School mostly twice a week for matches and roll-ups, please ring Russell at 01473-311653 any time for further information.

This men’s group meets in the back room of The George pub at 8.00pm on Wednesday 22nd June The subject for discussion will be: The Media. Newspapers and television, are they a force for good or just a profit making enterprise? Are they informative or manipulative? There is no ‘gagging order’ in the pub, so come along and share your ‘pint’ of view and hear what others have to say. All men welcome.

The Holy Spirit Jesus, before he was crucified, promised those who followed him that he would send them a comforter or counsellor. He promised that he would not leave them as orphans. When Jesus met with his followers after he rose from death, he told them to wait in Jerusalem and they would receive power from on high. Soon after, on the day of Pentecost, God sent his Holy Spirit to the followers of Jesus. They were filled with the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, and they boldly spoke of God’s love in Jesus. 2000 years on Christians still receive the Holy Spirit and still proclaim God’s love and all that Jesus has done.

Silver Trophy Win for Stoke Ladies The Stoke By Nayland Ladies Team started their Silver Trophy league fixtures with an away match at Thorndon Park on Tuesday 26th April. This was a difficult opening match against very experienced opposition but the team was quietly confident after intensive coaching by Club Professional Roly Hitchcock and his team. It was encouraging to see Laura Lowe able to play in this first match after recovering from a broken ankle. This proved to be the boost the team needed as she led the field with a 7/6 win. After a tight match, on a course not played before by the majority, it ended with a 3-2 win for Stoke. The next fixture will be at home against Gosfield on Monday 9th May followed by Wanstead away on Sunday 15th May. Team: Laura Lowe, Jude Hanner, Sue Latham, Bev Thompson and Sybil Paton.

New Chief Executive for East Anglian Air Ambulance A new Chief Executive has been appointed to lead one of the region’s largest and most vital charities. Tim Page joins the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) having most recently worked for charities in London and Birmingham. He arrives with a wealth of knowledge and experience of leading successful teams and has ambitions to make the charity a beacon for others to emulate. On joining the charity, Tim Page said: “One of my aims is to develop close relationships with those organisations with whom we work in partnership: the hospitals, training providers and other emergency services. “I also want to ensure that the air ambulance helicopters can provide highly skilled and capable medical teams to any location in Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, in sufficient time, to save lives. “Above all, I want to establish the East Anglian Air Ambulance as the most professional, competent, effective and valued helicopter-borne emergency medical service in the country, providing the best possible value for money service to those who support us and who, one day, may need our help.” Tim was previously the Director of Emmaus UK, a national charity based in Cambridge, supporting the development and operation of projects across England, Scotland and Wales. In a position he held for eight years he guided the development of a number of Emmaus Communities across the country which offer homeless people a home, work and the opportunity to rebuild their lives in a supportive environment. Before working with charities, Tim had a long and successful military career. He was commissioned into the Royal Anglian Regiment in 1974 and commanded both the 1st Battalion The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment and Old College at The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. He also held a variety of staff appointments including Chief of Land/ Air Operations in Bosnia Herzegovina and Director of Army Marketing at the MOD. He left the Army in 2002. Tim will be based at Cambridge Airport alongside the crew of the EAAA’s Anglia Two aircraft.

An exciting new development is the creation this season of the Academy side which will be made up of players from the junior section and those slightly older players making the jump into adult cricket. The side will be captained by Peter Tampion with Bruce Newbigging Vice Captain. This team will prepare our younger players to represent the adult section. The Academy side travelled to Mellis with five adults and six young players to play their first ever league match against an adult side. On a very warm day, skipper Peter Tampion had no hesitation in electing to bat with 13 year old Dominic Manthorpe opening the innings with his father, Simon. The pair put on 60 before Manthorpe senior was caught in the deep. This brought 13 year old Oliver Carlstroem to the wicket who reached 26 before he was out . Dominic was joined by Andrew Crisp and the pair put on useful quick runs, Dominic carried his bat achieving his maiden century for the club, through a combination of sensible shot selection and strong hitting. Hadleigh reaching 209 for the loss of five wickets. Hadleigh's opening bowlers were two 14 year olds, Reece Crisp and Ryan McGowan who both bowled very well, the Mellis reply was steady with an opening stand of 48 by Mike Soper and David Williamson. George Davey and Brett Crisp provided good support bowling keeping a grip of the game, Mellis's Rob Tilley then struck a lively 55 but when he was clean bowled by Reece Crisp with Mellis on 135 for 5, the home team's challenge petered out leaving them short.

Hadleigh Utd U14’s

Hadleigh Utd U14 Squad 2010/11 and post Match celebrations at Walsham Hadleigh Utd U14's won the Title of the 'Ipswich and Suffolk Youth Football League' U14 Div 2 on the evening of Thursday 28th April with a 4-0 victory at Walsham le Willows. This successful season has also included a first Cup Final appearance for the Team in the Vase which was sadly lost. The 17 strong squad has worked hard all season and shown a great attitude to training and games which has culminated in this Title win. Next season will see them into Division 1 so the squad must continue in the same vain. On behalf of Hadleigh Utd FC and the U14 Management team of Neil and Andy we thank the boys for their hard work and committment. We also thank the parents for their help, outstanding support and understanding during the season. A special thankyou also to our Kit Sponsors "HUFFERS" Cafe and Restaurant of Hadleigh where Mekin and his Team have been so supportive.

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group The 1st XI have made a superb start to the season, with four wins out of four putting them joint top of Division 2 in the Two Counties Championship. Our overseas player Murray Spence has been the outstanding performer so far. He has batted consistently but his bowling has been a revelation. By mid-May he had already taken 22 wickets, with a seven wicket and two six wicket hauls to his name. Over the next month we will see whether Tim Rix’s side can sustain their challenge when they meet fellow pacesetters Elmstead Grasshoppers and Lakenheath. The 2nd XI have found things tougher in Division 4, but despite losing three games have picked up plenty of points. Nadie Abdul and Richard Checketts shared an opening stand of 181 to beat St Margarets by ten wickets. The club’s first centurions of the season are Sam Smith, who made an unbeaten 144 for the Sunday XI against Walsham le Willows, and 13-year old Dominic Manthorpe. Dom marked the Academy XI’s very first match at Mellis with his maiden hundred, surely the first of many for the Suffolk Under-14 captain. He is almost certainly the youngest centurymaker for a senior team in Hadleigh’s history. The club’s new double bay fully carpeted net facility is being built in June, the culmination of a year-long fundraising effort by senior and junior members. A number of bodies have contributed towards the funding of the £28,000 project, including Babergh District Council and Suffolk County Council, and the club is extremely grateful to all who have helped realise this project. The nets will make a huge difference to the club, especially the coaching of junior players, and they will be officially opened later in the season. The Chance to Shine cricket festival takes place on Wednesday June 7, for all the local schools involved in the Chance to Shine coaching programme. The summer Fete is on Sunday June 26, from 2pm. The club has produced a DVD with all six episodes of Sky Sports’ Club Life series from 2010 to feature the club. Copies priced £5 are available from club secretary Gary Wiles (gdwiles@btinternet.com). Farmer

Hadleigh Utd Under 8's Our first season has now drawn to a close (where did the time go?!) and what a great season it has been. We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all the family & friends of the players for their fantastic support. The boys have all developed immensly as players and this is all down to the 100% effort and commitment that they put in every week. Myself and Darren would like to congratulate them on their season and we are looking forward to the tournaments over the summer and to next season, which will be our first in a league format. Congratulations to Devon Miller (pictured with his trophy) who won the Hadleigh United Youth FC penalty shoot out. He received 2 tickets to the FA cup final as a prize, so many thanks to Hadleigh United FC for this great prize. Ben and Darren

Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club Celebrating 26 years of Road Running, Athletics, Cycling and TriathlonThe sun has been shining for a good six weeks now and boy have we made the most! There is no better way to start or finish your day than having a good old run through towns and fields when the weather is as glorious as we’ve experienced. Our tri-athletes have no doubt been sunning themselves, whilst working hard on their running & cycling whilst refining those all important transitions and given the conditions who wouldn’t be tempted to do some open water swimming right now?! Exercising when the weather Gods are with us has to be enjoyed and its times like these that keep us all going when the cold dark evenings draw in. It’s been fantastic to see so many people, regular runners and new, adults and children alike come and join us on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for running and athletics whilst our triathlon section is proving to be more popular than ever. Hadleigh Hares are extremely grateful to all our coaches, across all sections of the club, who work tirelessly to provide our community with outstanding athletic and tri coaching. Come along and see for yourselves! Alternatively please see our website www.hadleighhares.co.uk for further information. SUDBURY 5 MILE FUN RUN The Sudbury Fun Run was again held on Good Friday, and the weather was good, if not a little too hot for racing! 12 Hadleigh Hares took part and they all had fantastic runs, well done and congratulations to those who were racing for the first time. Despite the course having been altered slightly to include a few hills many PB's were broken. Results as follows: First man home: John Scaife - 30.01 followed by Mark Sumner 33.09. First female home: Jackie Kirk 44.29, followed by Sarah Grimsey 46.02, Claire Bartram 48.03, Sara Taylor-Balls 49.04, Trish Kempson 49.29, Kathryn Sumner 50.45, Anja Scaife 51.29, Lisa Smith 53.11, Alex Chisnall 53.11, Dawn Herbert 54.28. A great turn out for the Hares, well done everyone. BRECKLAND 10K The Breckland 10k took place on Monday 2nd May in the heart of Thetford Forest. On a breezy day 3 lady Hares (or should we call them Jills?!) took part with some 450 other runners. Well done to Jackie Kirk who posted a PB finishing in 54.12, followed by Sarah Grimsey in 56.17 with Anne Wilkinson in 1.00.12. All reported that it was a thoroughly enjoyable run, expertly hosted by Thetford Athletic Club and one than should definitely be on the Hadleigh Hare must do 10k list for 2012! CLUB 5K SERIES Hope you all enjoyed our first 5k race of the new series on Thursday 12th May. It was great to see so many Hares, 33 in all, come to participate. A lot of you hadn’t raced before and really enjoyed it! We hope that you will join us again for the next one, Race 2 which is on Thursday 30th June and the rest as follows; Race 3- 21st July, Race 4- 11th August and Race 5 (Club 5k Championship Race) 1st September. Please also see our website for further information www.hadleighhares.co.uk. May we also take this opportunity to thank the time keepers, Lorraine Pinnion, Mark Sumner, Mike Rosbrook, Amanda Colley and Gale Prior, without whom we wouldn’t be able to run this series! RUNNERS WORLD TRAILBLAZER SERIES TRAIL 10K Corinna Hussey took part in the inaugural Runners World trail blazer run on Saturday May 7th held at beautiful Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire. The 10k route was devised to give runners, new to trail running, a taste of what it’s like to run springy undulating forest tracks and trails, (with the odd steep incline thrown in for good measure!) deep in the forest before ending up back at the hustle and bustle of the event village. Corinna was pleased to set a trail PB of 53.46 and immediately made plans to return next year! WOODBRIDGE 10K The 30th running of the Woodbridge 10k was held on Sunday 15th May

Swim, Bike And Run

and as is custom attracted a bumper field. The event itself, sold out within 4 hours of going online, comprises two very demanding 5k loops around the historic market town. Hundreds of spectators lined the route creating what can only be described as an incredible carnival atmosphere, much needed as you were made to sprint finish up the hill (yes, up the hill!) Three hares joined 720 other runners for the race. Doug Grimwade, recently returning from injury posted a very respectable time of 42.37 coming 55th overall, Steve Bowen finished in 50.46 whilst Corinna Hussey, hot on her heels from her trail PB a mere 7 days before managed to set another 10K PB of 52.50! Well done to you all, another absolute must do race for 2012! SUFFOLK COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS On the 15th May Hadleigh Hares had three junior athletes compete in the County Championships, Ipswich. In the first race Callum Morrin age 11 took part in the 1500m in the under 13 category, and after a very close race he just missed out on a medal finishing 4th in a very respectable 5:10:00 In the second race for Hadleigh Hares were Alex Baxter and Jack Harman both aged age 11 who ran the 800m in the under 13 age category. Alex had a fantastic race and also only just missed out on a medal after narrowly getting shut out into 4th place but a tremendous effort nonetheless. He was closely followed by club mate Jack who ran a very strong well paced race, this being his first. Alex finished in 2:34 and Jack in 2:51. Well done to these young budding athletes. We can only say with pride “Watch this space!” TAKE THE PLUNGE! A reminder that the Hadleigh Hare swimming sessions have restarted on Sunday’s at Hadleigh Swimming Pool 8.30am – 9.30am. All Junior and Senior members of Hadleigh Hares are invited to the Hadleigh Hares Sunday morning swim sessions.

The pool will be divided into five lanes according to ability and it will be up to you to decide which lane is appropriate for you.

For full details of costs etc please see our website and / or contact Doug Grimwade at swimming@hadleighhares.co.uk

Hadleigh United Under 12’s Bring Home the Cup On Saturday 30th April Hadleigh United under 12’s squad (pictured above) of Captain Oliver Peters, Matt Talman, Callum Morrin, Jackson Crisp, William Simmons, Tommy Thorby, Arran Tampion, Jack Lambert, Oscar Cutting, Luke Brown, Tyler French, Harry Seager and Jack Boyden took their places watched by their ever supportive Management team, parents and fans for the Cup Final at Ransomes Sports Football Club. A truly superb match unfolded with Hadleigh producing some first class football action. It’s fair to say Hadleigh placed their Cup Final opponents St Johns under pressure from the start. Pushing forward and defending strongly when needed the boys were top class. Hadleigh opened up the score sheet early in the first half when Oliver Peters blasted the ball into the back of the net. This just spurred Hadleigh on. Hadleigh played tight team football, passing the ball and not allowing St Johns to gain possession. This led to both Hadleigh’s and Oliver’s second goal of the match. A determined Hadleigh continued strongly not allowing St Johns to break free. The again paid off when Tyler French struck the ball leaving the keeper with little chance and increasing Hadleigh’s lead to 3 – 0 at half time, The second half mirrored the first with Hadleigh piling on the pressure and St Johns defending in force. The Hadleigh boys continued their outstanding play pushing forward and defending strongly. In the closing minutes of the second half St Johns did gain one back but Hadleigh remained focused and finished the game with a 3 – 1 win. This was a match Hadleigh were determined to win and WIN THEY DID.

Otto Campanelli Football Club Otto Campanelli celebrated twenty five years of football with a re-union game on Sunday 8th May. Many of the players who had appeared over the 25 years took on the current Otto squad at the Hadleigh High School. The ‘Oldies’ were obviously not so fit and had some added weight and much of their hair is now a nice silver colour, well those that still had hair! All that I must say does also apply to their ‘old manager’ as well. None of this at all dampened the atmosphere and it was really nice for many of the old players to just get together once again to talk about and indeed laugh about the old days. Otto Campanelli was always a very, very happy club. The score does not matter at all, but it was 10-1 to the ‘oldies’. Believe that if you want to because at my age I cannot remember yesterday, let alone last week! Yes in all honesty the ‘oldies’ were thrashed 10-1, but it did not matter at all and it was just only good to get some of the old gang together again for this very special occasion and well done and thanks to those who did organise it all because the joy on all the faces just to meet up again were obvious for all to see. I had 22 years at the club and had the pleasure of working with an excellent bunch of players and people. On the sad side I must mention the three Bolton brothers who all turned out for the ‘oldies’ when they had lost their father Robert Bolton just two days earlier, but Robert,I know, would have approved that they played. A minutes silence was held before the game in the memory of Robert who many of the players, myself included, knew very very well. Alan Wignall, ex Otto Campanelli
