One of Suffolk’s leading hearing care companies, has received a national award, from one of the UK’s leading health governing bodies. The Hearing Care Centre, which has a local centre in Hadleigh, was presented with an Excellence Award in the Aids to Daily Living category, at the glitzy British Health Trades Association Excellence Awards - an annual celebration of everything that is good about the healthcare marketplace. The evening, which was held at the Guoman Tower Hotel, in London, was compered by TV journalist, presenter and newsreader, Angela Rippon OBE. The BHTA represents over 450 company members, many of which are the largest and most influential in the healthcare industry. The Hearing Care Centre, which has 18 centres across Norfolk and Suffolk, was praised for its distinctive focus on customer care, rather than sales figures. The judges noted its continued growth over the past 14 years, as well as its fantastic customer feedback and, most importantly, it’s investment in the training of its staff. Ray Hodgkinson, Director General of the BHTA, congratulated The Hearing Care Centre saying: "The healthcare industry is a fast-moving and competitive marketplace which includes many vibrant and pro-active companies with plenty of exciting products and services. To win the award shows just what a great job The Hearing Care Centre is doing and gives the business something important to shout about in 2013.” At the same awards last year, the company were highly commended for their work in rehabilitating patients with hearing loss. Hearing Care Centre Managing Director, Karen Finch was unfortunately unable to attend the evening, but was represented by her Marketing Manager, Matthew Coward and Audiologist, Michael Shade. Matthew who was presented with the award by Angela Rippon said: “Being presented with the award, particularly in front of so many members of the industry, was a real achievement and reflects the hard work by everyone throughout the company.”

The evening was the first event jointly run by both trusts. Although in competition with the Mayor's Quiz and the BBC's Children in Need appeal (I think people wanted to get away from an evening with Terry Wogan); both trusts were able to add just under £300 each to their respective coffers.

Pause for Thought Happy New Year! An expression we use to wish folks a prosperous New Year. As we reflect on the past year we see many joyous things but also see the bad things that happened in our nation. We wonder what the New Year will bring us. Many folks hope that it will be better than last year. The storms of life seem to be bringing more and more difficulties and even our weather brings with it hard times for a great deal of people in our land. If our hope is in Jesus Christ we know that whatever life throws at us, and we are not immune from tragedies and heartaches, we can trust in the wonderful promises He has given us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. We can call upon Him and He will answer our prayers. "Call to Me, and I will answer, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33 v 3

Local author self-publishes first crime/thriller novel and collection of macabre short stories! Since 1984 Clive Sorrell has been living in Monks Eleigh with his wife Sophia and during that time he spent a number of years working on the Arabian peninsular as an Executive Creative Director in the advertising industry. On retiring he self published his very first full-length novel entitled "Kawthar". This is now available through Amazon, Authorhouse and Barnes&Noble in hardback, paperback and e-book formats. "KAWTHAR" - SYNOPSIS While a Scottish geologist searches for water on the Arabian peninsular his wife finds a mysterious pendant in a gold souk. It turns out to be a guide to Iram, a fabulous lost City of the Pillars that, like Atlantis, disappeared more than 3,000 years ago. This draws the couple into a treasure hunt that puts their lives at risk from others seeking the same fabled city. Further clues lead them into the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) where they discover the tomb of a mythical king. Trapped far below the desert sands by ruthless killers they are forced to fight to save their lives. Other than "Kawthar" this year I have also self-published "Stories for Dark and Stormy Nights". "STORIES FOR DARK AND STORMY NIGHTS" - SYNOPSIS A collection of 26 macabre and supernatural tales that are short and very short – ideal for dipping into at bedtime or for when time is short. This was selfpublished through Authorhouse in July and I believe it would prove to be an excellent gift! CLIVE F SORRELL - A SHORT BIO After 50 creative years in the industry I finally retired from copywriting faction to pursuing my interest in writing fiction. In the last four years I have written five books and after no success with my approaches to literary agents and publishers, who gave the economy and the recessional times as the main reason for not taking on a 'new' author, I decided to self-publish my work through a highly reputable company called Authorhouse. Five years living in Saudi Arabia and five years in Dubai had inspired me to write three crime/adventure novels of which "Kawthar" is one – I am currently finalising a new novel set in England during the 1960/80s.

Movember at M. W. Partridge The team at M W Partridges, Hadleigh, have once again been raising money for charity. Throughout November, the men had been growing facial hair to support the Movember Campaign. Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim is to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically Prostate Cancer and Testicular Cancer. All the men, the Mo Bros, that took part started off clean shaven on 1st November, and have only been allowed to trim their moustaches throughout the month – they shaved them off at the end of November – although I understand that some of their wives/partners, the Mo Sistas, quite like their ‘new man’. A very BIG THANK YOU to all those who donated to all three of our fund raising events throughout 2012. We raised over a total of £1,000 for CRY, Breast Cancer and now Prostate and Testicular Cancer. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our staff and customers, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thank you all for your support throughout the year. Lorna Gant

My dear readers, may I wish you all a Happy New Year. It is a fresh start and who knows what is around the corner. I only had one short holiday last year and I am hoping that I may do better this.

Orchard Barn Celebrates Reaching 5 years old in Style
Its time for that New Year resolution!
Barn Dance and Auction of Promises exceeds all expectations A big thank you to everybody who joined us at Offton village hall on Saturday the 24th November for OBee's 5th birthday celebration - a good time was had by all. The combination of ticket sales, donations and the auction of promises raised an unbelievable £1,418, which will enable OBee to continue to support our volunteer programme, run community events and workshops, replace some much used tools, and repair and renovate others, and continue to deliver great learning experiences. OBee is a not-for-profit organisation set up for the benefit of the local community and we are dependent on and extremely grateful for all forms of donation and contribution. Improve & Prove grant from Suffolk Foundation We're delighted to announce that OBee recently won a £4,700 grant from Suffolk Foundation to complete the restoration of the fabric of the barn, making it much more weatherproof also creating and equiping an indoor teaching area. This is a great step forward for us enabling OBee to undertake another important part of our restoration project and improve our facilities which will encourage wider use by the community. We'll be doing the majority of the work through a series of courses and community workshops during the spring which will enable people to have the opportunity to learn traditional wood working skills. Watch out for details of these in our new course programme which comes out early in the new year. Volunteering projects If you'd like to learn greenwoodworking skills and have a got a few days to spare this winter, you might like to help out with this practical project to protect one of our Cob walls with a mini shingle roof. Come and learn some new skills with the shingle-making team on Wednesdays. Pre-booking essential. We've also got 5 exciting home-based volunteer opportunities available - have a look at our home page on www.orchardbarn.org.uk for more ways in which you could get involved and help us grow our social enterprise alongside your own skills and experience.

Christmas Tree recycling ensures your trees stay green long after the festive season is over Residents of Mid Suffolk and Babergh will again be able to make sure their real Christmas trees stay ‘green’ long after the holiday period is over, by using the councils convenient Christmas tree recycling scheme. The tree collections are part of a package of recycling initiatives which Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council are urging people to take part in to make this Christmas as green as possible. As in previous years, there will be numerous collection points in both Babergh and Mid Suffolk where residents can leave their Christmas tree – without decorations – to be gathered up and taken to a local composting facility where they are chipped and composted, before being used as soil improver so that other plants and trees can thrive. Since both councils started this highly successful scheme five years ago, the collection sites have become well established and to date over 5,200 trees have been recycled. For further details on the Babergh and Mid Suffolk’s Recycling initiatives, please visit http://www.babergh.gov.uk/ or http://www.midsuffolk.gov.uk/ Trees can be left at the collection sites points below from 7 am on Saturday 5th January until 7 pm on Tuesday 8th January. The trees will be collected on Wednesday 9 January 2012. Real Christmas trees can also be left next to brown bins for collection during the month of January 2013.

Executive Director appointed at Gainsborough’s House, Sudbury The board of governors of Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Bills as Executive Director of Gainsborough’s House. He joins on 4th March 2013. For the last six years Mark has been Curator of the Watts Gallery in Compton, Surrey, and before that held curatorial positions at the Museum of London and Russell-Cotes Museum, Bournemouth. Chairman Brian Moody said ‘We are very fortunate to be appointing such an experienced museum professional. During his time at the Watts Gallery Mark has played a large part in its redevelopment and in re-establishing G F Watts as a major figure in the history of British art. He comes to Gainsborough’s House with first-hand experience of bringing the story of an artist to life in the house in which he lived, an objective we have set ourselves at Gainsborough’s House. He also has an impressive track record in scholarship, publications and creating exhibitions’. Mark Bills’ career began with a spell as an art student at the Slade School of Art which in turn led to becoming a curator, an art historian and a gallery director. His first position as a curator was with English Heritage based at Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire. Mark said “This vast and eccentric mansion allowed me the great pleasure of researching a number of paintings from the Romantic movement in English art. From Brodsworth, after beginning research at Manchester University in art history, I moved to the south coast as Visual Arts Officer at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum in Bournemouth”. He was then appointed Senior Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings at the Museum of London before becoming Curator of the Watts Gallery. Mark Bills has published and lectured widely. He says “I am very much looking forward to joining Gainsborough’s House. It is a special place with a wonderful collection of works by one of the greatest figures in British art. It will be a privilege to lead the gallery into the next phase of its history and to bring to life, to a whole new audience, the art of Thomas Gainsborough”.

News from Whatfield School What a wonderful winter we have been having. Despite the recent cold snap the new Reception children have continued to enjoy their outside area and had fun in the school grounds. We have also ventured out as far as Bradfield Woods for our ‘Forest School’ activities with Suffolk Wildlife Trust. Key Stage One have built dens and toasted marshmallows, whilst Key stage 2 made a fantastic woodland obstacle course, and their own forest school badges. We have thoroughly enjoyed the build up to Christmas, starting with an Advent morning led by the volunteers from the Cathedral, which helped the children think about the special time of year we are in. We especially enjoyed singing for our very successful Christmas Fair, and also singing to the older folk at Waterfield House Care Home. We hope all enjoyed our singing, and thank you for inviting us to do so. I know the children would love me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from Whatfield School, and hope to see you at one of our events in 2013. If you would like to come along and meet us at any time, please phone the school, on 01473 823 309 to make an arrangement. Lynne Golding, Headteacher

Kersey Mill Open Day January 5th 2013 11 am - 3 pm The mill cannot grind with the water that is past. A lovely proverb and very apt. We are 6 months into the restoration and refurbishment programme at Kersey Mill and Maltings; most of the commercial section is finished and indeed let, just 3 units remaining. The coffee shop, health and fitness centre, beauty and hair salon, along with the wedding venue and function room are up and running. All of these will be open for public viewing and to take advantage of their special offers. We hope to be able to start work on the mill in 2013, a large project that will take a considerable amount of time and money, the plan is to try and reinstate the wheel and a pair of the stones so it can grind again. We have already managed to undertake preliminary works including roof repairs, clearing out of the wheel and race along with repairs to the tail race and general clearing of the mill, we would like to thank all those that have already volunteered to get involved with the project and who have helped with the above. An open day on January 5th is being held when the public can look over the ground floor of the mill, the upper floors are too unstable at present, however the ground floor houses most of the original machinery and wheel that has not turned for around a century. The existing businesses will also be open for the public to see what they have to offer, the coffee shop will be serving tea’s coffee and lunches. Chris Hulcoop and Mark Barnard of Suffolk Mills will be on hand in The Mill to talk to visitors and explain how we plan to undertake tasks like re-cogging the pit wheel putting the line shaft out of gear that will then allow for the wheel to be turned and repaired for the first time in nearly 100 years. If you are a large organisation or a single individual who would like to be part of the restoration and help create this legacy for generations to come please do get in touch or come and see us at the open day.

Hadleigh High A Specialist Science School High Lands Road, Hadleigh Ipswich, Suffolk IP7 5HU Headteacher: Caroline Gibson Telephone: 01473 823496 E-mail: office@hadleighhigh.net Website: www.hadleighhigh.net On the 23rd November our pupils participated in our first Enrichment Day of this academic year where we focus on further developing pupils’ independent learning skills, encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning and developing the skills and attributes to be an active contributor to a team. Year 11 participated in a variety of activities including: Study Skills, Preparing for Interviews and Personal Statements. Year 10 pupils were able to choose from a London Walking Tour, developing Rocket Powered Dragsters, performing activities to help improve their levels of confidence in musical performance with students from Suffolk One, participating in using technologies to meet the challenge of a Dragon's Den type of activity entitled 'Go Gadget Go,’ creating a web application for the iPad, participating in a GCSE PE trip to Essex University, taking part in a GCSE Art Students Visit to the London Art Galleries or undertaking activities including mini-assault courses, wire traverses and puzzles at an outdoor pursuits centre. Year 9 took part in an activity called 'The Real Game' focussing on dreams and aspirations as well as work and the financial realities of life. Year 8 visited the Globe Theatre or created teaching resources and displays linked to the work and world of Shakespeare. Year 7 pupils visited Hedingham Castle or used their maths skills to design a dream bedroom and considered the skills required in interior design The outcomes of the day revealed how flexible, creative and able our students really are when they have the opportunities to develop their selfconfidence. When confronted with unusual challenges they rise to the occasion and show us their true potential. Many pupils truly excelled in the wide variety of activities on offer and performed at new heights, sometimes literally! We were really proud of our pupils’ achievements. Certificates Evening On Thursday 6th December we hosted our Certificates evening for last year’s Year 11. This evening allows us to present our ex-pupils with their examination certificates and celebrate their achievements. It was a real pleasure to welcome pupils back to school and share this very special evening with their parents. Many of our ex-pupils have now spent a term at various sixth form and college providers and were able to share their experiences with each other and staff. All are fully enjoying the challenges and opportunities which are being provided by their new provision. It was also an opportunity, after the presentation, to discuss entertaining and fond memories of Hadleigh, with some pleasing admissions by our ex-pupils that they valued the support and care they received here – and quite miss it! Over the last few years we have invited representatives from our range of sixth form providers to address our pupils, considering the opportunities which lie ahead as they enter their adult lives. This year, Jan Harker, Vice Principal of The Sixth Form College Colchester, shared with pupils the importance of the skills they gain at high school in enabling them to be successful independent learners at college. She shared her experience of Hadleigh pupils, identifying the following as being strengths: • the ability to take responsibility for their learning • the resilience to cope with challenge • the drive to complete the challenges set • the strong interpersonal skills they possess to be a highly effective team worker • the ability to think creatively to solve problems • the willingness to get involved in the widest range of educational opportunities offered • the empathy to support and relate well to others. It is reassuring to note that so many of our pupils display the skills which will enable them to be adaptable, caring citizens of the future. We invest a great deal of time both in and outside of the classroom environment offering pupils the opportunity to hone and perfect these skills so that they have the best chances of reaching their full potential personally as well as academically. This would not be possible without the efforts made by parents who support their children in ensuring they adopt positive attributes at school and work hard at home. Our current pupils should take note of the skills which are required and seek to continue to actively develop these throughout their education at Hadleigh. Achieving your full potential is always a challenge. It requires a great deal of effort, commitment and determination. In addition you have to be courageous in terms of taking up the challenge and aware of what you wish to achieve. Results are only gained through hard work and a willingness to learn. One of the hardest skills to acquire to be a truly effective learner is to be prepared to be out of your comfort zone, learn from the mistakes you make and be resolute in improving your performance. We seek to provide the 16

opportunities to develop these skills in our pupils thereby developing their confidence and independence. These skills are not only valued by post 16 providers, they are also highly prized by employers. Christmas Concert As usual, the school will be putting on a Christmas concert to showcase the musical talent present in the school. Swing band, Choir and Orchestra will all be performing, along with a selection of solo acts and bands. Cross Country The Suffolk Cross Country trials took place on 1st December at The Royal Hospital School. The top 40 have been selected to compete in the final trial to be held at Culford School, Bury St Edmunds on Thursday 17th January 2013. Minor Boys Y7 - Joel Cooper 36th, Felix Vardon-Barber 39th, Mateusz Palmer 45th. Minor Girls Y8 - Nadia Johnson 39th. Junior Boys - Alex Baxter 2nd, Jackson Crisp 33rd .

Most of the students have already written their cards to the German students containing some information about themselves. The students are very excited to be in contact with students from Germany and hope the contact carries on between them. Hadleigh High School Choir On Tuesday 11th December, a section of the fantastic school choir trekked down to Magdalen Care Home to spread some Christmas spirit. They sang a selection of popular Christmas songs, as well as some carols. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit, as did their audience who could be heard singing along. They were also joined my Harry Forbes and Lois Cooper for instrumental support. Miss Macey wishes to say a big thank you to everybody who came along; she and Mrs Sheridan were very proud! Choir: Alissa Ansell, Rebekah Asquith, Lois Cooper, Liara De Banks, Harry Forbes, Kaitlyn Green, Abigail Holt-Simmons, Alice Lester, Megan Lyddaman, Hannah Machin, Imogen Morsman, Bethany Munson, Livi Player, Chloe Pratt, Olivia Rawlins, Ebony-Brooke Rivers, Emma Sargent, Ellen Seeley, Abigail Simpson, Jessica Simmons, Olivia Simmons and Chloe Snowling. HHS Equestrian Team The equestrian team was competing again last weekend with 2 additional members. Bethany Heritage Yr9 and Ella Thackray Yr9 joined the squad for the first time. Bethany competed in the 60cm and Ella in the 70cm and 80cm, individual classes. It was a terrible day weather-wise and they both had ridiculously early starts and problems with transport, so did really well in the circumstances. Charlotte Cutler Yr9 secured 4th place in the 80cm class and Harriet Cutler Yr11 finished 6th place in the 90cm, narrowly missing out on 2nd by going so fast and rolling a pole. Emma Chapman Yr8 also competed in the 90cm individual but unfortunately had one jump down. These 3 pupils then competed in the 90cm team event and were placed 5th, despite a couple of poles falling, as Harriet managed another clear round for the school. The HHs equestrian squad has made an amazing start to this term and hope to capitalise on their success next year!!! Library news Nineteen pupils from Years 7, 8, and 9 have been participating in the annual book Mastermind competition, organised by the school’s library service. Pupils read a book of their choice and answer as many questions as they can in 2 minutes about the book. The winning pupil will receive a book of their choice, and go on to represent the school in the area final. Tag Rugby-Primary Schools On Monday 19th November many Primary schools from around Suffolk participated in a Tag-Rugby tournament. The sports prefects each helped out at the tournament helping referee the games and helping out with the refreshments. The two schools that were in the final were Bildeston and Hadleigh C.P. The end result of the game was that Hadleigh C.P won overall. It was a great day and it was good to see how many children took part. House Points Update This is the latest update of the ongoing House System. All houses have gained a lot of points, showing how hard our pupils have been working! Oswald has temporarily taken the lead with 2574 points, from their previous 4th place with 281 points.
Whatever Happened To 2012? Almost everyone is asking that question and adding “I was going to change my job/get fit/lose weight/cut my hair!” But across the country there are thousands of people who have achieved at least one of their goals – to lose weight – and this often leads to other life changes. Emma, from Hadleigh, achieved her goal this year with help from Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant Val Lord. She says “I began my Cambridge journey in February 2012. I was feeling very nervous to open up to anyone about my bad habits and to get weighed in front of anyone but I had nothing to worry about and instantly felt comfortable chatting with Val. Over the next few months we made a really nice bond. I felt I could chat about anything with Val and she became a massive support with my weight loss. If I had a bad week or temptation had got the better of me then Val would be very understanding and helped me to stay on track during our weekly meetings. Regular texts, weighins, measurements and photos were a big incentive to keep going. Val is very knowledgeable, and I would use her advice to help tackle any problems I had. I have now reached my goal and am maintaining my new figure. I don't feel alone as Val still sends me texts and I plan to see her every few months to keep on the straight and narrow. Val gave me all the help, support, advice and encouragement I needed during my journey.” Emma is thrilled with her weight loss and is looking forward to 2013 confident she feels good, looks great, and has the knowledge to maintain a healthy weight. If you would like individual help with a weight problem, Val is an accredited Independent Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant and can be contacted on 01449 737113 or 07519 177645 or visit www.cambridgeweightplan.com/valL for more information

Fidelis Activity News Wild West Calling If visitors had strayed into the town’s Dining Room one dark Thursday in November they could have been forgiven thinking it was a Wild West party. With a lady ‘caller’ out front and rows of cowgirls following her every movement in time to some country and western music all the signs were there. However, this was no hillbilly hoedown but another Fidelis monthly meeting. Professional line dance callers, Ted & Jean, came to give the ladies a ‘taster’ session to introduce their audience to the delights of this very popular pastime. It soon became apparent that it is not a hobby for wimps and the faint hearted but it is great fun and good exercise. The dancers tackled the basic steps with varying degrees of success and a lot of laughter. Facing the wrong way or moving in the opposite direction to the rest was not easy to conceal, much to the delight of the onlookers. By the time the highly absorbing evening came to a close the dancers were ready for some sustenance. They had mastered the grapevine, cha-cha and stomp steps, often, but not always, in time with each other and the music. Jan Devey

Welcome to this months Police news item. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The nights will have started to draw out now but we are still seeing a lot of road users motor vehicles with bulbs blown and cyclists without lights when out and about in the later evenings please make sure you are visible to each other and other road users. On that note here are some tips for drivers and cyclist. ‘DRIVERS AND CYCLISTS ARE MORE ALIKE THEN YOU THINK’ with 80% of cyclists holding a driving licence, and 1 in 5 drivers cycling at least once a month, they’re often the same people. LETS LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER CYCLING – Enjoy your journey. 1. Ride positively, decisively and well clear of the kerb – look and signal to show drivers what you plan to do and make eye contact where possible so you know drivers have seen you. 2. Avoid riding up the inside of large vehicles, like lorries or buses, where you might not be seen. 3. Always use lights after dark or when visibility is poor. 4. Wearing light coloured or reflective clothing during the day and reflective clothing and/or accessories in the dark increases your visibility. 5. Follow the Highway Code including observing ‘stop’ and ‘give way’ signs and traffic lights. 6. THINK! Recommends wearing a correctly fitted cycle helmet, which is securely fastened and conforms to current regulations. DRIVING - Enjoy your journey. 1. Look out for cyclists, especially when turning – make eye contact if possible so they know you’ve seen them. 2. Use your indicators – signal your intentions so that cyclists can react. 3. Give cyclists space – If there isn’t sufficient space to pass, hold back. Remember that cyclists may need to manoeuvre suddenly if the road is poor, it’s windy or if a car door is opened. 4. Always check for cyclists when you open your car door. 5. Avoid driving over advanced stop lines – these can allow cyclists to get to the front and increase their visibility. 6. Follow the Highway Code including ‘stop’ and ‘give way’ signs and traffic lights. Now is the time to purchase lights and reflectors and other equipment to ensure that you’re seen by other road users. We’ve negotiated deals with many cycle retailers in the county to help you make significant savings. Visit www.suffolkroadsafe.net and you’ll find the latest offers.

News from the Garden Personal Thoughts January is the month when nothing much happens in the garden. It is too cold for much growth to be taking place. Days are still short, and it often takes a good deal of committment to go out and get the routine Winter pruning jobs done. There are some plants that give encouragement and brighten the Winter days, and it is worth making sure that you have a selection of these in your garden. As I come up the steps to my front door on the right trained as a low hedge under the window is the yellow jasmine nudiflora, and on the left of the porch is a large fragrant viburnum bodnantense. These are both in flower in mid December, and will continue into January. Later I shall be looking at my small tree of chimonanthus praecox near my greenhouse to brighten the Winter and perfume the air. If you do not know these plants look them up on the internet or in a book and see if they would fit in your garden. The other good gardening occupation for January is to browse through the new season gardening catalogues, and see what ideas these trigger. Weather Records In November at Kersey there were 64.3 mm (2.5") of rain. This is slightly more than our average monthly rainfall. This rainfall means that the 3 month figure is now 195.8 mm (7.7") which is 130% of the average rainfall. In November the maximum temperature was 15 Cel (59F) which is slightly warmer than average. The minimum was 0 Cel (32F), which is slightly colder than average for November. In my garden the ground temperature at writing is 4 Cel (39F), which is typical for the month. However a few days ago after several hard frosts which did not melt during the day it was down to 1.5 Cel (35F) which is quite cold for December. Hints The garden will generally look after itself in January, but if one has a nice dry day and the garden is not frozen solid or covered in snow one should think about :(a) Any Hard Landscaping that you want to do. If you get it done now, then you can enjoy it in the Summer. (b) Clear up any dead plants from the summer (preferably to a compost heap), and clean garden paths that are slippery due to fallen leaves and algae. Wash up empty pots and clean glass in greenhouse or cold frame. (c) Prune fruit trees (NOT plum), and late flowering summer shrubs (NOT the early ones like Forsythia and Kerria, or you will lose the flowers.) (d) Providing we do not get too much rain overhaul flower beds containing perennials. Wishing you all a good gardening year, John Rye

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Once again, that Machiavelian pair, Chris and Phil, entertained us right royally with their Quiz Evening, giving us all plenty of fun and laughter to enjoy. They fooled us this year by not sticking to garden related subjects by branching out into general knowledge and only returning to gardening for the final round which was mostly about the biggest this and the largest that, to sort out the final winning table, not that there was any prize but certainly plenty of shouting! After Chris had ploughed through all the sheets of answers to determine the winners we moved on to the goodies provided by the committee, to celebrate our Christmas meeting. Thanks to everyone for your input both by providing the goodies and especially for turning up on what was a far from pleasant evening weather wise and Chris and Phil for all the fun and laughter you generated. I am so sorry that the members who did not get the message that the December meeting would be held on the 2nd Monday in the month as usual (not as the typo in the programme) missed out on this fun evening. I really am very sorry for this slip. Wishing you all a really Happy New Year and praying for a better gardening year in 2013 and please note we don't hold a January meeting, so the next meeting will be on February 11th, when an old friend Rodney Tibbs will be expounding on my "Gardening Year". Ruth Allen 822323
Christingle Service 2012 On behalf of The Children’s Society I thank all who came to the Christingle Service on the 2nd December and made it a very enjoyable occasion. As a result, £272.40 was raised for the charity. Thanks are due to all those who helped especially the ladies who prepared the Christingles, and to Janice White and The Very Reverend Martin Thrower for conducting a very lively and happy service. We are also very grateful to Mr Smith from The Market fruit and veg, for supplying the oranges. Sue Mitchell (Parish Coordinator, The Children’s Society) www.hadleighcommunitynews.co.uk

Credit Crunch Heat Pack Comprising of: 1 X FERROLI 26KW A RATED COMBI BOILER WITH FLUE AND CLOCK Greetings and good wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to all my readers! Lets hope it is not quite as wet as last year. We had to abandon quite a few outdoor lessons, but the riders learnt more about the practical side of horse care, learning the names of parts of the horses and tack, and how to clean and look after them. I of course, had to work harder too, as when it was wet more of them rode me to ensure that they continued to get their physical therapy at the same time. How splendid the stables looked at the end of term with lights, tinsel and trees all kindly donated by riders, helpers and friends, to welcome the festive season. The Herd, in decorated head collars, watched the beginning of the Carol Service. Even I had my reindeer antlers on. Camilla and Squidgy led the procession of walkers to Shelley Church, but they couldn’t go in because they had muddy hooves, and in any case it was full again, but the riders took candles to represent us all. This new Term starts on 14th January and details of all our activities for the coming year will be listed on our Web site, so do look at our calendar of special events and fund raising activities. Our waiting list of children and adults wishing to start riding with us is still quite long, so we would really welcome more volunteers to come and help. Two hours a week during school term times, and although those with horse knowledge are very welcome, it is not essential as training is provided for all who join the team. It gives my circuits a buzz to feel the improvement in my rider’s balance and co-ordination skills, so I know that being involved is very rewarding for helpers as well as the riders. If you would like to visit to see what is going on, just give us a ring and we will be happy to show you round. Don’t forget to say hallo to me when you come.

With heavy overnight frost restricting play to temporary greens on a shortened course, scores were high in the annual Captain's Yuletide competition at Newton Green Golf Club. Andy Cornwell, who has only recently returned after two years out of action because of hand surgery, scored a massive 47 points. Although Darren Willetts, Harry Wordley, Bill Knappett, Andy Cornwell and Chris Williams the competition was not a qualifying event, Andy's recently granted revised handicap is likely to take a plunge. He was two points ahead of Bill Knappett on 45 points, while Darren Willetts saw Harry Wordley off in third place with his 43 points superior on countback. The gross amateur prize for the day went to club champion Russell Oakey, with a score of 70, although club professional Tim Cooper came home with round of of 66. Prizes were presented by vice captain Chris Williams, standing in for the unavailable Dave Lavelle.

Hadleigh Hares Athletics Club On Facebook www.facebook.com/groups/hadleighhares On Twitter www.twitter.com/hadleighhares84 Online www.hadleighhares.co.uk Hadleigh 10 race - 25th November BLUSTERY conditions met the 262 runners at the Hadleigh 10 race on Sunday. The annual 10 mile run, organised by Hadleigh Hares Athletics Club, took competitors round country roads and through the villages of Shelley, Layham and Polstead. Racers not only had to compete in the challenging conditions but also the notorious hilly sections which make up large parts of the race. Starting next to Holbecks Park and finishing at Hadleigh United Football Club's ground, the race, sponsored by Peake Fitness and Ipswich Building Society, was preceded with a 2km juniors' competition. Ipswich Jaffa, Brad Jones, came through the finish line almost a minute quicker than second place Gavin Davies, in a time of 55 minutes and 48 seconds in the senior race. Gavin, also running for the Ipswich club, finished in 56:45. Veteran runner Stephen Whiting, running for Highgate Harriers, finished in third position in 56:54. First woman was Sara Bird in 61:08 for Woodford Green with Essex Ladies. Liz Wynn was second for the women with a time of 65:57, running for Serpentine Running Club. Third finishing woman was Nickey Brinkman for British Triathlon Association in 68:46. The juniors' race saw 48 youngsters set off five minutes after the seniors. Ieuan Alldis of Bury St Edmunds Pacers won the race for the third consecutive year in 6 minutes and 10 seconds. Hadleigh Hares' Tom Cowley was 10 seconds behind, with Joshua Thompson from Ipswich Harriers third, in 6 minutes and 29 seconds. The top three boys were all in the 16 and under category.
