Copella’s Dave Smyth with Fidelis ladies ‘dressed’ for the tour On arrival at the vast premises of Copella Farm, Boxford we were greeted by our guide, the company’s Quality and Safety Manager, Dave Smyth. He started with an informative talk about types, blends and seasonal varieties of apples used in the production of Copella's juices. Production statistics at the plant are staggeringly impressive with 1 kilo of apples yielding approximately 700mls of juice and a total of 100,000 litres each day! Then came our hilarious transformation into the ‘safe’ dress code for the next stage of the tour. All ladies had to shed their jewellery and don hairnets, hard hats, steel toe-cap boots/shoes plus extra-large shirt-type over-garments! Once appropriately kitted out for the factory, we observed all stages of production. Crates of apples are washed, pulped, squeezed into juice which is then pasteurised before being bottled, labelled and packaged. In addition to safety, Copella is also very environmentally aware. The juice containers come in plastic pre-forms which are blown into the required shape by a wonderful piece of machinery. The complete automation of the factory ensures round the clock production 24/7 with the 92 employees, multi-tasking and working a 14-day shift cycle. Apart from these efficiency considerations, the company has joined forces with botanist and environmental campaigner Sir David Bellamy and the National Trust. Through their ‘Plant and Protect’ scheme they are hoping to help reverse the worrying decline in the English Apple and bees by encouraging the general public to grow more fruit. After our enlightening tour, we thanked Dave for making our visit so enjoyable and it was with considerable relief that we slipped out of our mandatory 'uniform'. Sustenance was definitely needed after all the walking in heavy boots, so we adjourned to The Crown at Stoke by Nayland, where an excellent lunch was enjoyed by all. Jan Devey

Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury is this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of opening to the public as a museum. It is marking the event with some outstanding shows and events. From 1 October to 17 December, Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop is holding an exhibition of selected works. Some of the UK’s best printmakers are members of the Workshop, which welcomes artists of all levels of ability and which runs courses on a regular basis. It has been a vital part of the Museum’s life for over thirty years and therefore it seemed appropriate that a show based on its work should conclude what has been a most successful year. Works on show will be selected by a small group of art specialists, and will be examples of the very best that the workshop has to offer. The exhibition will also include a selection of unframed prints which will provide an additional opportunity to purchase Members' work. Free gallery talks and demonstrations will be given by Printmakers every Thursday afternoon at 2.30pm from 6 October until 15 December. Gainsborough’s House is the only artist’s birthplace museum in the UK. Over the last 50 years its exhibits have grown in number and the House now owns an outstanding collection of Thomas Gainsborough's work. In addition to oil paintings and drawings, visitors can see memorabilia related to the artist’s life, and also works by his contemporaries, and by his only assistant, his nephew, Gainsborough Dupont. The House’s lovely garden is a further attraction. Come and sample a cup of coffee or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. The inimitable Maggi Hambling will be holding a "Question & Answer' evening at Gainsborough's House on Friday 14 October at 6.30pm for tickets and further information please telephone: 01787 372958.

Class of 1991 Reunion On behalf of myself, Carl Beer, Elaine Evan and Emma-Lyn Ratcliffe, we would like to thank everyone that attended our Hadleigh High School class of 1991, 20 year reunion on Saturday 10th September. As well as being a School reunion it was also an event to raise money for the charities associated with Andrew Hambling and Alison Kettlewell, who sadly are no longer with us. To date we have managed to raise £563 resulting from money taken on the night, from two generous cheques and from the Just giving page Elaine has set up, if any of you that couldn't make the evening but would like to donate to the charities please visit www.justgiving.com/teams/hhs1991. It was great to catch up with 'Old friends' and even a few of us who didn't want the night to end then ended up going up town (thank you Colin Branch for being the Taxi!) Hopefully we will see you all at the next one in 10 years time !!!! John Broomfield

Mill Pharmacy is Expanding
mill pharmacy at Hadleigh Health Centre Monday – Friday Saturday Sunday
Open: 8.00 am – 6.30 pm 9.00 am – 6.00 pm 10.00 am – 2.00 pm
We welcome ALL PATIENTS for dispensing prescriptions and other Pharmacy needs join our PRESCRIPTION COLLECTION SERVICE for hassle free ordering of repeat prescriptions. FREE DELIVERY of prescriptions and shop items to your home. FREE dispensing into DOSSET BOXES if you have difficulty remembering when to take your medicines. PHARMACY SHOP with helpful staff
As you probably remember last month I mentioned that Mill Pharmacy was expanding into the old fire station next to the Hadleigh Health Centre. Work is progressing well and everything appears to be on schedule for us moving at the end of November. Lesley, our dispensary manager (see picture) is a hard task master and has been making sure the builders are getting on with the work! We have had lots of suggestions coming from you as to what they would like us to stock in the new pharmacy and we are taking it all on board so please keep them coming in. We want our new pharmacy to be your new pharmacy too and will try and accommodate your suggestions as much as possible. One of the concerns that has been raised by you is that the Pharmacy will move whilst the Dispensary remains where it is. I can reassure you that that is definitely NOT going to be the case. BOTH the dispensary and the pharmacy will be moving to the fire station. This arrangement has worked well in the last two years and we want that to continue. This will be of particular benefit to Dispensing patients who will be able to continue to take advantage of our extended seven day opening hours. I also want to take this opportunity to introduce you to a new FREE SERVICE we are offering to all our customers which will help them get the greatest benefit from their prescribed medicines. This NHS NEW MEDICINES SERVICE will benefit you if you been prescribed a medicine to thin the blood or to treat one of these conditions: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, and hypertension. It does not matter who prescribed it for you – doctor, nurse or hospital – and it is an open conversation between you and our pharmacist to discuss any concerns you might have about your medicine. It can take place over the telephone or in our consultation room. The first consultation will probably take about 15 minutes and you will get a telephone call a couple of weeks later (or meet in the pharmacy) to resolve any outstanding issues – or you can at that point be referred back to your GP if you need more help. REMEMBER THAT THIS SERVICE IS FREE AND APPOINTMENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY. If you have not been prescribed a new medicine but feel you could still benefit from having a chat with our pharmacist about medicines you have been taking for a while you can still take advantage of our other free service – the medicines use review. Our pharmacist will be happy to talk to you in complete confidence in our private consultation room . Please come and ask at the counter if you wish to make use of this service.

More options for long-stay car park users come into force Car park users in Sudbury and Hadleigh will be able to use long-stay car parking spaces for up to 72 hours from September 12th – after proposals were given the thumbs up by Babergh District Council. Permit holders will also be able to use any of the three long stay car parks instead of having to nominate just one. The changes are being implemented after Officers at Babergh carried out a review of the way in which long-stay car parking spaces were being used since the implementation of charges for staying more than three hours in its Sudbury and Hadleigh car parks began last October. Ryan Jones, Head of Contract and Asset Management, said: “As a result of listening to representations from car park users, Babergh believes these changes should help commuters using Sudbury’s Station Road and The Station car parks. “We feel that making a change so that people can buy up to 72 hours of parking time can only enhance our scheme for the better.” Car park users are also being urged to make sure they have the correct ticket for the amount of time stayed as charges for incurring a penalty ticket are rising. Fines will rise from £45 to £55 from September 12 although the penalty is reduced to £25 if paid within 14 days.

Howard at Chateau de Noizay For those of us who enjoy our motoring pursuits, there is no better way to roar along than over the highways in France. At the beginning of September, I spent a week in the Loire Valley based in Amboise with the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club when some twenty six cars took part. Trunks had been sent-on and thus my chauffeur Frank had the week off and I became an owner-driver. I took a drop-head vehicle and was rewarded with some lovely weather. The roads are in beautiful order and free of people and traffic. Tolls can though be expensive on the motorways totting up to £40 or more over 350 miles on my journey. France has a land mass of some three times that of the UK and thus congestion is avoided. These tours always include a special lunch one day and on this occasion it was at Chateau de Noizay where I am pictured above. I know that many of you love your horses. One of my visits was to Le Cadre Noir at Saumur a French horse riding academy and part of the French culture. We watched a fine display. I went to see a number of chateaux and their wine producers. Chateau de Nitray was a smaller chateau and was a family home. It produced various wines and several sparkling. I was intrigued to learn that the chateau would typically keep thousands of pigeons in one of its towers for meat and eggs. Some friends of mine took a motor yacht on the Norfolk Broads for a several days. I was delighted when I was invited to join them for a few hours for lunch on board. My cook, Maria, made up a hamper of scotch eggs, smoked salmon sandwiches and an apple turnover with fallers from the orchard and some pop. Frank delivered me to Acle in Norfolk where I met the vessel. A lovely interlude on the water. Many of us in the countryside have private drainage systems of one sort and another. Some Government Regulations of 2010 (as part of the European Union Water Framework Directive) called for registration of private drainage systems or otherwise to procure an exemption. To my mind this is a ridiculous requirement and of course would cause problems upon the sale and purchase of a house. It seems that the Government is currently reviewing matters and so the registration process has been put on one side for the time being. It is something though upon which we should all keep a weather eye open. Howard Gibbons

Bildeston Primary School We are all happy to be back at school after the summer holidays, seeing our friends and settling into a new class. This term we have a textile recycling collection and anyone is welcome to collect a bag from the school office and bring it back filled to school on Monday 14th November before 9am. We also recycle ink cartridges, there is a box outside the office, and of course the newspaper bank in the car park. The school raises money from these schemes so the children can enjoy extra events and treats over the year. Thank you to all who help us. On 10th September Bildeston hosted a "B Natural" music festival and our school choir sang a variety of songs including "Don't stop believing" by Glee and originally sung by Journey an American band. We also did "Don't worry, be happy" by Bobby McFerrin. On stage it was extremely nerve racking, but we enjoyed it! We loved listening to the Samba Band from Suffolk One college in Ipswich and thought the whole festival was a major hit for Bildeston. by Isabel Chaplin and Becky Linge

Peggy Crabtree (1916 - 2011) Peggy Crabtree passed away on the 30th May this year shortly after her 95th birthday. A thanksgiving service will be held at 3pm on Saturday the 8th October at the United Reformed Church, Market Place, Hadleigh, with music from the Serendipity Choir. Peggy moved to Hadleigh in 1956 and in 1974, she became the first ever woman to be elected Mayor of Hadleigh. She continued to be a Councillor for many more years and was elected as Mayor again in 1982. She actively supported many voluntary groups, especially those for the elderly and disabled, including Meals on Wheels, lunch clubs, Books on Wheels and the Disability Income Group. Peggy was an Executive Member of the Hadleigh Elderly Persons Welfare Committee and was appointed the first woman trustee for the local almshouses. She played a significant role in the provision of the swimming pool in Hadleigh and in setting up the St Elizabeth’s Hospice Charity Shop. She was an active member of many social groups including the WI, Trefoil Guild, Bowls Club and Choral Society. She will be sadly missed by all the family and her many friends

OK, time to confess! Who was it that bought the last of the tarragon from Partridges? I was astonished they had run out, having successfully sourced it from there on several previous occasions, although I discovered subsequently that the dried version will do the job. Risottos can seem rather labour intensive, but they are such versatile dishes that in my by Sarah Thompson opinion, they are worth the effort. Having had the distinct pleasure of teaming up with Adnams this month, I am keen to make some recommendations. The recipe I have chosen, calls for a dry white wine, so I wanted to find one that was reasonably cheap but also drinkable in its own right. I am partial to a small glass of wine whilst cooking, although please don’t mistake me for Keith Floyd! If you cheat and use really cheap wine, or worse still wine flavouring, it will reflect in the overall taste of the dish. Luke Crawley, store manager for Adnams, suggests Chilean Casa Rivas Chardonnay at £6.50 a bottle. If you are making this for a dinner party or family gathering, you might also like to consider the Tattybogler Pinot Gris at £11.99 a bottle. I hope you enjoy making and eating this truly delightful dish, and don’t forget to apply the rule of BASIL. (Buy And Source It Locally) Leek Risotto – Serves 4 Ingredients 4 large leeks (trimmed and sliced) Large portion of butter for frying Handful of tarragon – approx 8 stalks 400 g (16 oz) risotto rice – use only risotto rice eg arborio 350 ml (10 fluid oz) dry white wine 1 litre (1 pint 15 oz) chicken stock salt and freshly ground black pepper parmesan cheese shavings – enough for 4 Method Put the butter and sliced leeks into a large frying pan. (A wok will do just as nicely) Strip the tarragon stalks of their leaves and add the leaves to the leeks. Heat the mix gently and stir occasionally for about ten minutes. Add the rice, ensuring that it is completely coated in the butter. Pour in the wine, turn up the heat a little if necessary, and stir. The mixture should bubble gently and the wine will evaporate. Add the stock a little at a time, stirring frequently. Continue this process until the stock is absorbed. It is important to note that you may not need all of the liquid. What you want to end up with is a creamy texture to the risotto, but with the rice retaining a slight chalky bite. This should take about 20 minutes. Season and add parmesan to individual tastes. Relax and enjoy the culinary compliments. Optional Extra – Parmesan crisps. These make an impressive addition to the meal and don’t be put off, they are surprisingly easy to make (just don’t tell that to your fellow diners!) Make these in advance of the risotto, so they have a chance to cool down. All you need is a shallow non-stick pan, some parmesan cheese and a little bit of patience. Method Using 20g (¾oz) parmesan per crisp, grate the cheese into a bowl. Spoon measured amounts of cheese into the pan in a heap and flatten with a spoon to create a circular biscuit shape. Fry gently over a low to medium heat so the parmesan melts and bubbles. When it is crisp on the bottom, turn it over gently using a spatula. Cook the other side for a couple of minutes and remove from the pan to cool. Do not be disheartened if you have to experiment with these – you will soon get the hang of them. Place one crisp in each risotto and serve. Sources Items were all sourced locally including the weekend market stall, Partridges farm shop, Ferguson’s Deli and The Co-op. Wine from Adnams who, incidentally have got a food lovers ‘Bake-Off’ coming up on October 14th

Many among us see fungi as being the mundane items that we see on Supermarket shelves. These generally all look very similar– white on one side and brown-“ish” on the other. Occasionally I come across someone who knows the name of the fungi on which we see the models of the pixies/fairies sitting, but most describe them simply as “Toad-stools” which is rather vague Both of these fungi are “brackets” which grow directly from their host without any stems (unlike the edible mushroom which have stalks). On the under-surface of both there are thousands of small tubes producing a continuous supply of spores (seeds) that fall out for dispersal by air currents. Both are doing the same thing: destroying the wood on which they live (are Saprophitic), returning the nutrients to the soil as part of natures re-cycling process, They are however doing it by attacking different elements of the timber, in different ways. One is doing it from the inner “core”, the other from the outside layers! What are these pretty fungi? Sulphur Self (Laetiporeus sulphurous). These can be found on both living and dead timber and are quite large, growing up to 30 centimetres or more in diameter.. “Sulphurs” attack the heartwood of timber (the darker coloured “core” of most trees), destroying the long fibres (the cellulose) and leaving behind the brown material that gives timber its “hardness” (the Lignin). First it will break the heartwood into small cubes, and eventually brown dust, giving it the common names “Brown” or “Heart” rot, which is frequently the cause of old Oak trees hollowing out. In living trees the organisms have usually entered through wounds where branches have broken away. The name suggests that the fungus is coloured sulphur-yellow, which is not quite true. As you can see in Photo 1 they come in a variety of orange and yellows. Undisturbed they can survive for several years, growing a new ring of cells around the edge each season (you can see them around their perimeter). In young specimens the top of the fungi feels sort of “leathery” (like suede), with the underside almost white and quite rough (the open ends of those small tubes). When immature it is said to be edible with the taste of chicken, leading to one of its other common name, “Chicken of the wood”. Turkey tail (Trametes Versicolour) This one gets its name because its appearance is similar to the tail feathers of wild turkeys. (Photo 2) It is another bracket fungus, but much smaller than the “Sulphur”, producing large numbers of small “carps”, each around the size of a 50p coin. Those in the photo are growing from the end of a cut log and are grey/green in colour, but this can vary considerably due to the presence of the algae living inside their cells. “Turkey-tails” attacks the Sapwood – the lighter coloured outer layers present in most trees - destroying the brown material in the timber (the Lignin) and leaving behind only the long, white “fluffy” cellulose strands, explaining one of its more common names, “White-rot”. Its attack on the outer sapwood layer is completely different to that of the “Sulphurs”, which attacks the inner, heartwood layers. They’re both destroying the wood but in totally different ways. It is said to be edible but I don’t really see how you could collect it without including lots of bits of rotten wood. Personally - not being a very good mycologist (someone who knows about fungi) - I don’t see either of them as a culinary delicacy. To me they’re just two “pretty” fungi, best left for others to admire! Mick T

Two Hundred Years of Suffolk Freemasonry The Lodge of Virtue & Silence No 332 Earlier this year on March 1st, the Lodge of Virtue and Silence, No 332, celebrated two hundred years of Freemasonry in Hadleigh. By any standard this is an achievement that could never have been envisaged by the Founders in 1811. At that time in every community such as Hadleigh there were numerous Commercial Inns and Hotels. They provided a natural interface between every level of society, providing stabling for horses and equipment, accommodation and refreshment for travellers and residents alike. These premises naturally became meeting places for a diverse range of clubs and societies and this is exactly what must have occurred at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn, Hadleigh. It was here that the Lodge was founded on February 27th 1811 and it continued as the Lodge meeting place up until the death of the tenants in 1825. The Lodge then moved to the White Lion Inn, where it remained for the next 150 years, before circumstances of space, popularity and increasing numbers, caused a move to the Town Hall in 1975. The Hadleigh Market Feoffment Charity Trustees having agreed to let out the Old Town Hall, the Kitchen and Committee Room for use as a Temple and Dining Room. However, this move was to be short lived. In 1986 news was received from the Trustees that the building had failed to meet the Antient Apron, discovered required safety standards and that it would during the renovation of a be closed for remedial work. This meant property in Hadleigh Market another move for the Lodge, this time, out of Place and believed to have the town to the newly refurbished Raydon belonged to one of the first Village Hall. The estimated time to restore members of the Lodge and update the Town Hall was three years, however due to differences between the Architects and English Heritage, a further three years was to elapse before the Lodge eventually returned to the Town Hall in 1993. The founding of the Hadleigh Lodge, as it was known in the first letters of petition, seems to have been the inspiration of Brother, William Corrie Golding, a Fellmonger (dealer in skins) and Tanner whose premises were situated at and behind his home at the corner of Pound Lane. He was already a Freemason, having been initiated into the Angel Lodge, Number 57 in Colchester in 1801. The other important signatory on the petition was Worshipful Master, William Catchpole, a Woollen Draper of Ipswich, who was then currently the Master of the Perfect Friendship Lodge, in Ipswich. The remaining six signatories were all Hadleigh men who had been initiated into the Perfect Friendship Lodge; Askew Bickmore, a school master; John Grimwade, a school teacher and bookseller, with a sideline in selling tea; William Scott. a plumber; Thomas Cuddon, a basket maker; Thomas Preston, an Innkeeper and George Bateman, a maltster. The new Lodge got off to a good start. The records show that new members were being drawn from a wide variety of areas and backgrounds, Dedham, Langham, Kersey, Whatfield, as well as Hadleigh itself. The trades and professions were also just as diverse, blacksmiths, whitesmiths, plumbers, drapers, tailors, farmers, auctioneers, an officer of excise. Some two years later, in November 1814 a Warrant from an expired Lodge in North Wales was obtained by Grand Lodge in London and transferred to the Lodge of Virtue and Silence in Hadleigh. The document covering the Consecration meeting is an extremely long and detailed one. This was a major event for the town, with a procession of Lodge members and guests, together with Masonic dignitaries from the Province of Suffolk, all proceeding from the Shoulder of Mutton to the Assembly Room for the ceremony at 10 o'clock in the morning and returning for a banquet at the Shoulder of Mutton at 3 o'clock. This was to be the first of five subsequent visits by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Suffolk to the Town, the last being in 1935. The first doctor member, Dr J. T. Muriel was initiated into the Lodge in 1855 he was the first of several members belonging to the medical profession. The longest serving of whom was Dr J.C. Norman 1877 – 1923 and the 14
Telephone Community News on 01473 823366
shortest serving being a Dr Thomas Hicks from Great Wenham, who was initiated, passed and raised at consecutive monthly meetings and then went of to South Africa to possibly serve in the Boer War. The Lodge celebrated it's centenary with a small ceremony at the White Lion Hotel in 1911. Later that year the Provincial Grand Lodge of Suffolk visited the Town, when Dr Joseph Clement Norman served as the Right Worshipful Provincial Master three times. He was initiated in 1877 and died in 1923. This Grand Master, the Earl of memorial plaque, unveiled in 1925, Stradbroke presided and can be seen in St. Mary’s Church presented the Lodge members with their Centenary Jewels. Afterwards, two hundred people sat down to dine in the Town Hall and two special trains were laid on for the visitors to get to and return from Hadleigh. After the Great War, Virtue and Silence continued in it's popularity, so much so that moves were afoot to limit the applications of initiates and joining members to a six mile radius of Hadleigh. At the start of World War 2 and due to the proscription and persecution of Freemasonry and Freemasons in the Axis Countries, the Lodge Warrants were sent to the United Grand Lodge for safe keeping and it is recorded that the minute books, other documents and items of Lodge equipment were packed and removed to a place of safety, “Known only to certain Brethren”. However, the Lodge continued to meet regularly throughout the period of hostilities and at the end of the war a report was sent to London, stating the activities of the Brethren and concluding with “no member had lost their lives or were disabled”. The result of the continued upwelling of interest in Freemasonry after the war, led the Lodge of Virtue and Silence to sponsor a daughter lodge at Nayland in 1986, Court Knoll Lodge, No 9194. A few years later in 1992 a second daughter lodge was sponsored, this time in Hadleigh, Brett Valley Lodge, No 9479. During the last two decades Masonic Charity has been formalised at the centre to enable assistance to be given more evenly to medical research, education, welfare of the elderly and other national and international causes. There has not been recent disaster in any part of the World that has not received a donation or help from the charities supported by United Grand Lodge. Even so, local issues and organisations, have been and continue to be, supported by local Masons. The 1st of March 2011 was a day of celebration. The attendance was limited to 120 members and guests, consisting of representatives of the United Grand Lodge, the Provincial Grand Lodge of Suffolk, one each from our Founding Lodges and our Daughter Lodges. The day started with a reception in the Town Hall, after which an extra-ordinary meeting was convened when the main business was the presentation of the Bi-centenary Warrant to the Lodge by the Grand Secretary. A brief history of the Lodge was read out and all the Brethren then retired to the Grand Hall for a dinner. In the two hundred years since that small gesture by eight men to found a Masonic Lodge in Hadleigh there has been a total membership of approximately five hundred. This membership has covered a vast spectrum of people from all walks of life and backgrounds, the majority coming from within the area of South Suffolk but also a substantial number from away, bringing with them a wealth of experience and knowledge. The common theme, to be a part of the heritage of Hadleigh and to make a contribution to those less well provided for. Of one thing we can be assured, Freemasonry has taken a solid root in the fabric of this Town of Hadleigh, and it will be no surprise to find that in 2111 Masons will be celebrating a third century of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

Trio In Waiting, our next show - November 17th & 18th at Whatfield Village Hall - is a group of one-act comic plays with a common theme of ‘waiting’. Here be Dragons - by Brian J Burton, is set in a doctor’s waiting room ruled over by a very domineering receptionist - a slice of life which will have you laughing. In Terminal Chat - by Jim Sperinck, takes place in an airport waiting area, where eight passengers grappling with their own problems, meet the biggest problem in one man, who is determined to bore them all with his advice and opinions. The Help Committee Try Again - by Peter Assinder - the empty vicarage awaits it’s new incumbent - but is someone already there? The members of the ‘Help Committee’ are more than a little disconcerted when they arrive to spruce up the house. Tickets will be on sale from mid-October at The Idler bookshop, Tel 827752. Whatfield villagers can book by calling Diane on 822000. Including a light supper and bar facilities, tickets will be £7.00.

Greener Hadleigh Our Green Skills and Ideas Fair on Saturday the 17th September was a great success and we would like to thank the exhibitors, contributors and visitors who made it such an interesting event. We hope to repeat this next year and look forward to seeing you there. October is really autumnal and one traditional event is apple picking. Over the years our orchards and many traditional varieties have disappeared, in part due to foreign imports. For over twenty years Apple Day has been celebrated on or around the 21st October, so why not take the opportunity to visit a farm shop or grower of local apples to taste and support local produce. If you are lucky enough to have an apple tree, but don't usually pick them perhaps this year you could invite friends and neighbours to help, or even have a picking party. Look for ways to store and preserve them and different recipes, such as apple charlotte, apple brown betty and jams and chutneys. Traditional games are competitions for making the longest peel and apple bobbing amongst others. An apple event in Ipswich on Saturday the 22nd October is to take place in Holywells Park between 11.00 and 14.00 more information from Peter Scotcher 463860

East of England Co-operative Wildlife Calendar Launched The East of England Cooperative Society’s 2012 calendar has been launched in support of the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Wildlife Trusts. The calendar features 12 wildlife images taken by local amateur photographers in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, as well as a selection of money saving vouchers for East of England Co-op stores and services across the region in 2012. For each calendar sold £1 will be donated to the local wildlife trusts, with the money being shared equally between the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex branches. The Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Wildlife Trusts collectively care for and protect some 25,000 acres of wildlife habitat in the region, including nature reserves and parks. Roger Grosvenor, Group General Manager – Trading for the East of England Co-operative, said: “We were delighted with our members’ response, and the calendar shows of just some of the diverse wildlife which has been captured by local amateur photographers in East Anglia. “The final 12 images in the calendar are an excellent collection of wildlife photographs including birds, bees, butterflies, moths, deer and hare, and much more, with all the photos being taken in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. “We are very pleased to be supporting the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Wildlife Trusts, and hope that sales of the calendar will raise thousands of pounds for these three worthy causes.” Michael Strand, Community Fundraising Manger for the Suffolk Wildlife Trust said: “The Wildlife Trust’s are delighted that the East of England Coop have chosen to support our work and highlight the wonderful wildlife in our region in this way. It is also an excellent platform for amateur wildlife photographers to showcase their art.” The 12 winning pictures were selected from hundreds of images submitted by local amateur photographers. The winners received East of England Co-op vouchers, a canvas print of their photograph and copies of the calendar. The winning photographers are: Geoff King, Carol Harvey, Rob Reeve, Simon Spencer, Colin White, Ruth Tyrrell, Susan Norrington, Helen Aust, Trevor Street, Liz Pitman, Frank Berry, and Stephen Ball. The East Anglian Wildlife Calendar 2012 is now on sale in East of England Cooperative Supermarkets, Food Stores, Petrol Forecourts, Pharmacies, Opticians, and Easier Living Centres, priced at £3.99.

Hadleigh Thrift Shop Limited In June of this year a 40ft container lorry went to Albania. It was full of ex-NHS equipment and clothing etc to be donated to three hospitals, a disabled centre, an orphanage and a school. Everything was on board including a scanner for the maternity hospital, beds, wheelchairs, a birthing bed, commodes, bedside tables, sewing machines, feeding tubes, drip stands and bandages etc. The lorry driver was from Macedonia and couldnt speak English or Albanian so we had a few problems there! Not to mention the customs who were, as usual, very difficult, but in the end all was well and everything was distributed. The school had white boards, writing equipment, computers, TV’s etc. Many thanks go to all the people that made the trip possible, i.e. donors, customers and all our volunteers. Organisations we have recently helped include The Porch Project, Sue Ryder, Future for Africa, Angel Court, Hadleigh Hares, Elmsett Village Hall, St. Mary’s Primary School, St. Johns Ambulance, Hadleigh Elderly Peoples Welfare Committee, Hope for Laura.

Jerry’s Diary August passed all to quickly, and I was late for September’s ‘Jerry’s Diary’. August saw some rain, but still not enough for the Giffords site to hold some water to bring in the waders. The small lake beside Aldham Church has almost dried out. This attracted several Green and Common Sandpipers. 6 Green and 3 Common Sandpipers were feeding on the mud 13th August. On the 19th August, 2 Greenshank were also seen here. Other sites with these 3 species of wader were Shelley Reservoir, Holton St Mary and Layham Pit. 2 Juvenile Little Ringed Plover were seen at Shelley during August. A first for my local patch was of 2 Great-chested Grebes fledged 2 young at Shelley Reservoir. The first migrant Passerines passing through were Juvenile Wheatear at Towermill Lane, 16th August. Whinchat (2), Stonechat (Juvenile) and Wheatear at Giffords, 19th and 21st Aug. All three species were side by side on barbed wire. 5 Fledged Yellow Wagtails with 2 agitated adults at Raydon Airfield on 30th Aug, with 2 Hobby over the area. Swallow flocks were 170-200+ feeding between Riverwalk and Holbecks Park during the first week of September. The second week of September saw 180+ Housemartins also feeding in the same area as the Swallows, Hobby was hunting over Holbecks for several days. 41+ Sandmartins were feeding over stubble at Hill Farm, Layham, early evening on 12th September. The first Meadow Pipits were in the stubble at Hill Farm 12th Sept. 3 Swift came very low over the same stubble field. A pair of Swift were still going to nest site up to the 6th September. At Stoke by Nayland a Short-eared Owl seen hunting near and over Park Road by Matt Garnham. Damselflys - Several red-eyed, which Adam Gretton believes are the much rarer, small red eyed damselfly which we saw at Shelley Reservoir on 10th July with Common and Blue tailed damselflys. A few Black-tailed Skimmers were at small res and ponds during July. On the 17th August at Raydon Old Airfield site, a lizzard dashed across the concrete track 30 yards in front of me. I haven’t seen a lizzard for many years, though I don’t look for them. The Fuzz/Railway, Broomhill/Conch, and Redhill Pit were the best sites to see lizzards. 2 Swift, 1 Hobby over garden on 18th September. Jerry Oxford

Welcome to this months Police news item. Halloween is coming up at the end of the month as well as bonfire night at the beginning of November, please consider others on both of these nights and all can have a good time. Suffolk Police are urging you to consider the effect your actions may have on others this Halloween and Bonfire Night – and to respect those may not want to take part in the festivities. Traditionally both Halloween and Bonfire nights are busy for police with a large number of calls during the end of October and beginning of November relating to anti-social behaviour by a minority who take trick or treating too far and firework-related incidents. We want people to enjoy their Halloween and Bonfire night celebrations but we also want those taking part to have consideration for others. There is a need for everyone taking part to behave responsibly. We would ask parents to ensure they supervise their children, for their own safety and to ensure they do not call at addresses where the occupants do not want to take part, and that anyone trick or treating only visits homes where they know the residents. Most residents that do like to take part normally have some form of Halloween gimmick outside their property. Halloween and Bonfire night can be genuinely scary for many older residents please don’t cause them any unnecessary distress. There is a line between high spirits and anti- social behaviour and we are well aware there are small minorities who will ignore our appeals and we will be out trying to cause trouble. A series of posters has been produced which address the issues surrounding Halloween. One is designed for those who do not want to take part while another asks parents if they would normally let their children call on a stranger’s home unsupervised. These posters will be put up around the county and are being widely distributed to schools and businesses, (look out for these nearer the time in your local shops, also at Hadleigh police station). Don’t forget the clocks will go back at the end of the month. This is a little reminder I use to remember which way and when to change the clocks: - spring forward (1 hour forward in the spring time) and Fall back (1 hour back in the fall/autumn) Mandy, PCSO 3108 Coleman.

I am pleased to be settled back into my normal busy routine with the rest of the herd, and to see all our friends enjoying their rides again. Summer seems a long time ago now. Thanks to those of you who responded to last month’s request for more helpers. We have interviewed some new riders and hopefully will be able to get them started before too long. Several of our existing helpers have not been able to continue this term, for various reasons, so if you are still wondering if helping at The Centre would suit you, why not come and watch a ride in progress, and have a chat with us, we’d be delighted to see you. The more helpers we have, the more riders we can take. Telephone to make a date! I had an exciting evening in September when a group of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from Langham came to see me – well to be truthful I think they were more interested in my hairy friends – but they had raised some funds to Sponsor one of the ponies, and it was really good to meet them all. Don’t forget that with Christmas on the way, Sponsoring a Pony makes an excellent gift, and with the rising costs of hay and feed, and electricity for me! we would all be really grateful. Details are on our Website or ring Di at The Centre. Also do look out for the picture of my friends on our new Christmas card this year. Cards are on sale at The Centre or in the Hadleigh Thrift Shop. It is only October so I mustn’t wish the year away too quickly, we still have many more weeks of happy riding, so let’s hope the weather keeps fine for us all.

Monks Eleigh CEVC Primary School Pupils of Monks Eleigh CEVC Primary school have returned to school after the summer break to a new and exciting future. Following extensive consultations the school has formed a Federation with Boxford CEVC Primary School. In 2009 Boxford was accredited as an ‘outstanding’ school and we will be sharing this expertise. The Staff of Monks Eleigh are working closely with their colleagues at Boxford and Mr Robert Giles is the Executive Headteacher of both schools. Our Pupils are benefitting from working alongside their peers at Boxford including joint curriculum activities such as music tuition, sport and language. Already an educational visit has been arranged for the children from both schools to Colchester Castle as part of their study into the Romans. Over the summer, Staff and Governors have been working really hard to create a new and exciting learning environment. We have established a new library, art and craft area and carried out extensive refurbishment. This will complement an outstanding outdoor area and other excellent facilities including full size football pitch and a woodland trail. In addition a new village hall is going to be built on our school grounds which we will be using for PE and games.
We are holding an Open Afternoon on Tuesday 18th October 2011 from 1-3pm Please come along and join us for light refreshments and see our new school.
Don’t Forget! The annual Edwardstone Christmas Fair will take place on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th November at the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Edwardstone, located between Boxford and Sudbury. Thursday night is the festive shopping experience in the Church from 7-9.30pm, with wine and canapés and on Friday, both the Church and Edwardstone Village Hall will be open for business from 9.30-1pm. The Fair has a fantastic range of stalls this year, stocking everything from luxury leather handbags and jewellery, through to children’s toys and original household items. We have a bigger variety of foodstalls than ever, including Emmett’s of Peasenhall and Greengates Smokehouse. There will also be the opportunity to purchase the famous Edwardstone Christmas pudding, hand-made by the husbands of the committee. Christmas puddings can be pre-ordered nearer the time by contacting Sally Hoskyns on 01287 211266. There is parking at the Church and village hall, and wheelchair access to both venues. Proceeds from the fair will be split between the church and village hall, and also the local charity, Success After Stroke (SAS). If you’ve never come to the fair before, why not give it a go? There’s something for everyone, and a chance to meet up for complimentary tea and coffee at the village hall for a much needed rest after all that shopping!
1st Capel St Mary Scouts Summer Expedition to France Eighteen Scouts, three Cubs, three young leaders and six adults travelled to the Lorraine region of France for their annual summer expedition. We stayed in a French Scout bunk house called ‘Les Flaviottes’ in the very rural village of St Andre en Barrois, near Verdun. During the trip we visited Fort Douaumont, part of the battlefields of the Battle of Verdun, canoed down the river Meuse and explored the local area. The weather was fine and did not impede on our adventures. Everyone had a lovely time and enjoyed learning a little of French culture, food and customs. Even the ghost that lived in the young leader’s bedroom and ate Harriet's Pringles had some company for a week. Congratulations to Aaron Brace for winning this year’s ‘Bob Scout’ award for best camper. Films of this year’s and many other past camps and trips are available on YouTube. Just search 1st Capel St Mary Scouts. Keith Nixon, Scout Leader

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Well now, the start of the Clubs’ new season was nothing if not different, very different! First, we were in our new venue which threw us somewhat as we got to grips with a new system for teas, layout etc added to funereal lighting which was thankfully relieved by a member who understood the lighting system enough to gain a reasonable level so we could actually see the exhibits. (Note to self - find out where those controls are for future occassions). It had looked like the beginning of a disaster as our booked speaker was unable to attend, (wife about to produce!) but the replacement he sent was absolutely terrific, phew! After that it turned into a rather hilarious evening as he was a young man, Guy Barker, with a great sense of humour, a seemingly unlimited knowledge of his subject and more passion for his plants than I thought possible for a young man of only twenty six. The evenings subject was herbaceous plants for Autumn Colour on this particular occasion but he assured us he had several other talks he could give. A very driven and inspiring speaker. A really happy and informative meeting with loads of room to move around, so roll on the rest of the season. And, for us gardeners, please mother nature, send us a nice average year, a proper winter at the right time, ditto spring, a summer that coincides with the right months and an autumn - well, a season of brilliant colour and benign weather, no drastic droughts or deluges - is that too much to ask?! Probaly, as “average” and “English Weather” are a contradiction of terms! Oh well, there’s nothing like hoping! Of course, to serious gardeners, this is really the beginning of the 2012 season as this is when all the organisation, planning, seed ordering and alterations need to be done and more particularly, the preparation of the soil for the next growing season so it is friable (some frosts please M.N.) and easy to knock down. Some planting is of course done before Christmas, in fact new strawberry runners now, some broad beans, onions and shallots soon - heavens, here it all goes again, still time to put your feet up with the shorter days though - good luck. Our next meeting - a talk by Tony Ward from Kings Seeds. For more information phone Ruth Allen 822323

News from the Garden Personal Thoughts One of the pleasures of gardening is that no matter how old you are you can continue to learn. I enjoy watching "Gardeners World". It has been a pleasure to have Monty Don back in charge this year. A lot of the things he suggests are perfectly standard gardening techniques, but occasionally he comes out with variations on the "normal", and occasionally I am moved to try them. This year I tried two suggestions. The first was the "Chelsea Chop" which involved pruning perennials quite heavily about the time of the Chelsea Flower Show with the idea of getting them to flower later and improve the late Summer border. I did this on a group of Phlox, and they are now flowering well in mid September weeks after the unchopped group are over. So this worked, and I am thinking about how to use the idea next year. The second was the idea of planting marrows and courgettes under runner or climbing french beans. Monty Don's beans were growing on wigwams, mine were in rows. My marrows and courgettes survived, but they did not crop very well. I do not think they got enough light. I shall not be doing this next year. One of the Runner beans that I grow is called "Painted Lady". It is attractive because it has red and white flowers. I like it because although the beans are not as long as "Enorma" the other variety that I grow, it continues producing beans later in the season. When I was picking the other day I thought about the name, and realised that this year I had not seen a single "Painted Lady" butterfly. Then I realised that there had not been nearly as many white butterflies in my garden as usual. The white butterflies can be a real menace, but I love to see all the other pretty butterflies flitting around. Sadly the Open Gardens season has come to an end, but in October there are usually Apple Days that are worth visiting to celebrate the wonderful variety of English apples. The only one in Suffolk that I know of as I write this is the Suffolk Wildlife Trust one at Redgrave & Lopham Fen on October 16, but if you are interested watch out for adverts. Weather Records In August we had 73.8 mm (2.9") of rain, which is well above our average monthly rainfall.At the end of August the 3 month running total figure stood at 213.7 mm (8.4") , which is about 40% above the average figure. In August the maximum temperature was 29 Cel (84F) which is warmer than we have had for a few years, but no where near the 36 Cel (97F) which occurred in 2003. The minimum was 9 Cel (48F) which is about average for August. In my garden the ground temperature in mid September is 13 Cel (55F) which is normal. Hints October is the month to start the Winter clear up while enjoying the last of the Summer flowers, and harvesting and enjoying the vegetables that you have grown. There is an increasing interest in planting Spring Bedding and Containers, and this is the time to get on with this job. The popular plants are Pansies and Wallflowers (correctly Cheiranthus), although there are other plants such as Bellis (the double daisy) that can be used. I am a little wary of buying Wallflower plants, because they belong to the crucifer family, and are therefore susceptible to the "Club Root" disease which affects cabbages and related vegetables, and I do not want to risk introducing this into my vegetable patch. Where no vegetables are grown this is less important. October is a good month to lift and replant Crocosmia & Montbretia. Throw away the old tubers and replant the best of the new ones. It is also important to remember that we can have a damaging frost by the end of October, so it is a good idea to either protect or propagate tender perennials. We do not know what the coming Winter will be like, so we should be prepared. One can get very good sweet pea plants by sowing them now in pots or root trainers, and overwintering them in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

Dear Sir
during winter months. But as there is nothing to pollinate except the stinging nettles and the river is slow moving along the river walk what is the point of this action? So there we have it, stinging nettles or Poor Mans Orchid along the river walk unless we can convince the likes of Babergh D.C. and Hadleigh T.C. that this fantastic amenity is worthy of cost effective long term management. Having recently fished out a shopping trolley from the river I cannot see that Tesco will be its saviour. Paul Mellor
In the last Newsletter Les Selby sang the praises of Ainger Holbrows; I would like to do the same for the Hadleigh Mobility Centre, and in particular Elaine, who went to considerable trouble to obtain a spare part for my mobility scooter. And she kept me informed during the 4 days it took to obtain and fit the part. So, thanks very much for your efforts, Elaine. My daughter and family from Berkshire recently walked the River Walk and returned via the High Street. They had considerable praise for the variety of independent shops in Hadleigh as they can only shop at branches of the big, soulless chain stores where they live. In their view, Hadleigh needs a branch of Tesco like a hole in the head! David Bishop, Boxford

Dear Sir
Reader David Hammond wants another supermarket in Hadleigh, a reader from Kersey wants a supermarket store with a 24hour garage and Tesco want a waterfront store. David Hammond also states that the river walk is overgrown and the Brett works site a mess. If David reads either the broadsheet or tabloid newspapers he will have seen that when supermarkets cannot get planning permission, they let the site get run down until the more gullible members of the public say that we ought to have a store here. This tactic has been used on more than a dozen occasions across the country. The solution is simple, build a supermarket in Kersey. If it were built by the ford, Tesco would have its waterfront store, the reader from Kersey wouldn't have to go to Lady lane for his petrol, David Hammond would get his beloved Supermarket and we wouldn't have to have this awful store in the middle of our town. David Hammond also offers his congratulations to the towns people of Manningtree on getting a Tesco store next year, I assume he is offering this to the townspeople that wanted a store, however, commiserations to the majority who did not want a Tesco store in the town but have had one forced upon them. I agree with David Hammond on wanting a Tesco store, provided it is built at least 50 miles from Hadleigh. Jim Bottley
Are the disabled treated equally in the Hadleigh community? Having lived in Hadleigh as a physically disabled resident all my life, now 25, I continue to face many challenges and struggles... I transferred from Ipswich to Hadleigh into the exact same job role with 4 years' experience, only to discover 2 of my working days were to be based elsewhere with an external agency, my capabilities were questioned and it was stipulated that I would need full time supervision from a carer. This setback was followed by car parking issues with another local charity, where my parking became a source of contention, forcing me to decide between a 10 minute walk which causes severe pain or risking getting a parking ticket for leaving my car on double yellow lines. Three cars are parked there on a daily basis. I am shocked that not one of these car users, after discussion and polite asking, was sympathetic and caring enough on occasions to give up their space for the less able when needed, preferring me to walk. Two public amenities have shocked me with their unwelcoming and backward approach to disability. It saddens me that, still, so much inequality exists within a close knit community such as Hadleigh, so much so I have lost faith in my local community and have returned to Ipswich to work. Having written this, however, it is important to stress that there are many kind people who have come to my rescue over the years, there are good people out there...and it's very much appreciated. P.S. For all those people who fill the disabled parking bays unnecessarily, who are more than able...I urge you please, please think again. Catherine Parmenter
Dear Sir If you are reading this in the ‘Hadleigh Community News’ you are surely part of the community of Hadleigh. Why then are not more of you supporting events/functions organised within the community for the community? On 19th August we went to a coffee morning in the Ansell Centre arranged to benefit the Inclusion Project (adults with learning difficulties). The atmosphere was lively and happy. Coffee and biscuit is just 50p, coffee and crumpet £1. Yet so few people were there. It is held the third Friday of the month, so please do support these in future. On 21st August we went to the courtyard garden of Angel Court. It was a warm, sunny and breezy afternoon. Entertainment was provided by Lindi Lou, a charming vocalist, and a cream tea (lovely scones) was just £2.50. Many of the residents were enjoying the afternoon and apart from ‘Friends of Angel Court’ who organised the event, carers and two relatives, we were the only guests! Shame on you! Support these events/functions or there will no longer be a “community”. Maggie & David Nicholls
Dear Sir Congratulations to David Hammond on opening up a debate on the state of the Riverside Walk (HCN September 2011). Over the past few years there appears to be a policy of destroying this once attractive walk with its numerous shrubs and trees into a haven for stinging nettles. This policy has now been extended to the borders of the Babergh D.C. car park in Corks Lane where maintenance free shrubs have been grubbed out, only to be replaced by weeds. Along the river the nettles are battling with the attractive but invasive Poor Mans Orchid. This plant with its orchid like pink flowers give a welcome relief from the nettles though it would appear that the stinging nettle lobby are being assisted by the systematic uprooting of the flowers. The Poor Mans Orchid has a bad name because it produces abundant nectar which detracts from the pollination of other flowers, it is also an annual which leaves the river bank open to erosion 24

On behalf of the residents, staff and volunteers at Sue Ryder – The Chantry, We would like to thank all those who came to Fun in Chantry Park on August Bank Holiday Monday. The show of support from Hadleigh and the local community was really tremendous and through the funds raised we can really make a difference to the lives of the people we care for here at Sue Ryder. The day was a huge success and we are happy to announce we raised £4733.07 with still a little more to come. Thank you once again for your support and we look forward to welcoming you to the Christmas Fair on the 19 November 2011. Joanne, Sue Ryder Volunteer
Dear Sir St Mary’s Church of Hadleigh is a wonderful example of 13th & 15th Century architecture which not only Hadleigh but Suffolk should be proud of. It is enhanced by the Deanery Tower, the Medieval Guildhall and numerous listed buildings resulting in the whole area being one of wonderful historic beauty. Unfortunately it has become blighted as it is now the unofficial base for local drunks. On some days the drinking commences about 8am and will continue until the individuals are too comatose to return home. The noise although distracting and quite noxious throughout the day is tolerated because it seems to be an accepted thing in this country today, but the accompanying abuse and detritus of these individuals behaviour has become something even this town should be ashamed of. To see drunks crawling around the churchyard because they cannot stand, urinating on headstones whilst a funeral is in progress or just passed out is something to behold. It seems that, although contacted frequently, the local police seem more happy to ask them to just keep the noise down, and Babergh DC after being contacted on numerous times over the years appear nonchalant, with a “as long as it’s not on my front door” attitude. Unfortunately Hadleigh promotes tourism and having personally seen tourists being verbally abused and leaving the area in disgust at the sights we have to offer, I can only recommend that the whole area is cordoned off to visitors and mention of this beautiful area is deleted from any tourism promotion to avoid further shame. Also if a bottle bank and aluminium recycling bank could be placed in the middle of the churchyard at least some good can come of situation. As a resident of Hadleigh I would also like to deeply apologise to the bereaving families who have had to witness this appalling behaviour during a sad time. M. Waspe

The Peter Holbrow Memorable Trophy After the sudden and unexpected death of our friend and brilliant player Peter, the committee decided, with the approval of all our members, that it would be a fitting tribute to Peter that we purchase a trophy that Chairman Ray Gant presenting the cup to would be a yearly Nayland’s Captain, Mervyn Farthing challenge against Peter’s favourite club where he had many friends and loved to play, that is Nayland Bowls Club. Unfortunately for us, Nayland had a fantastic summer league having won all their matches and consequently presented us with a difficult competition which resulted in a one sided victory of seven games to one. But, as we say in Hadleigh, onwards and upwards, and look forward to next year when we are sure to bring the trophy back home. We are always looking for additional members where a warm welcome awaits and tuition given to those who are new to the game. We play in the hall at the County Primary school on a Monday and Thursday. Please ring Russell on 01473 311653 for further information.

Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club NOTTINGHAM MARATHON On Sunday 11th September head coach Clive Pinnion ran the Nottingham Marathon. It was extremely windy with the tail end of Hurricane Katia blasting the runners at various points and from mile 20-23 the head wind was so strong it made them feel as though they were nearly standing still. Nevertheless Clive finished strongly, and although he didn't get a PB, finished in a very respectable 3 hours and 12 minutes, 60th overall and was 7th for his age group. He ran in aid of Xanthe Carter, who Hadleigh Hares has chosen to be their charity this year, raising to date approximately £500. Congratulations! JUNIOR HARES On Monday 12th September, 3 junior Hadleigh Hares went to Ipswich Jaffa's open 1500m race. Out of 76 competitors we had Alex Baxter age 11, who came first a good 15 seconds in front of the next competitor with an impressive time of 5:07. Following him we had his younger brother Ewan Baxter age 9 who finished 12th in a time of 5:59, closely followed by Michael Carrigan age 11 who came in 18th place with a time of 6:17. It was fantastic to see Hadleigh Hares competing on the track. This event was open to all age groups up to age 16 which makes it all the more impressive that Hadleigh have done so well. Well done to you all. COME AND JOIN US – EVERYONE WELCOME!

Lady’s Afternoon on the Orwell The good ship ‘Orwell Lady’ hosted the Fidelis’ summer meeting, a cruise along the river of the same name from Ipswich to Harwich return. The outward journey was full of interest as the Captain knowledgeable pointed out significant landmarks along the way. These were easy to see from a somewhat windswept vantage point on deck. Chugging leisurely along the ship passes a bizarre folly, an old brewery, peregrine nesting boxes and a bright green observatory to name just a few of the locations worthy of a mention. As the vessel approached the choppier waters of Harwich, the heavens opened. Fortunately this unwelcome precipitation coincided with the appearance of an elaborate afternoon tea - but not from above. Members beat a hasty retreat below deck and thoroughly enjoyed the sumptuous spread of homemade sandwiches, cakes and unlimited cuppas. By the time the Orwell Lady passed through the Prince Philip Lock to return to her berth our hardy sailors were warm, dry and oblivious to the inclement weather raging above. The following day there was a blue sky and hours of sunshine. Perhaps the sun does only shine on the righteous……. Jan Devey

Stoke By Nayland - Silver Trophy Runners Up APPROVED BODY SHOP
COURTESY CARS PLUS FREE COLLECTION & DELIVERY
After only two seasons in Essex County Golf Competitions Stoke By Nayland finished as runners up in the Silver Trophy. They met a vastly experienced Chelmsford team in the final but were unable to match the golf that their opponents played on the day. The Final was played, at Benton Hall, in wet conditions more typical of Autumn but the Stoke By Nayland supporters braved the weather to be with their team. The Trophy and Runners Up Shield were presented by the County President, Bridget Logan. The Stoke By Nayland Team: Laura Lowe, Jude Hanner, Sue Latham, Sybil Paton and Fran Thomas. Team Captain, Fran Thomas, in her speech thanked the team and caddies for their hard work in reaching this stage of the competition. There was a special mention for Head professional Roly Hitchcock for the part he played in preparing the squad during the season. On September 9th the Stoke By Nayland Harris Bowl team face Benton Hall, at Colne Valley, in the quarter final of that competition.

So another season has ended, a rather wet one at that. The rain, welcomed in May to put some life back into tinder-dry wickets, was all too frequent a visitor. The 1st XI finished in 3rd place in Division Two, just nine points shy of promotion – crucially, five matches were cancelled or abandoned, more than any other team. One of those was away at Brightlingsea, a decision that was investigated by the Two Counties committee after an inspection by the appointed umpire found the pitch to have been fit for play. In such cases the match can be awarded to the away side. Unfortunately our appeal in this instance was not successful. However, it was still an exceptionally good season for Tim Rix’s side. To only lose 3 games all summer was a great achievement. Murray Spence was the leading wicket taker in the division, claiming 53 scalps at an average of 15, and he also weighed in with 435 runs. Josh Davey was the pick of the batsmen, scoring 534 runs but just missing out on a century twice. With such a young, talented side there is every reason to think the team can go one better next season. The Second XI found life hard going at times in Division 4, but a good run of form in mid-summer pushed them away from danger. Nadie Abdul and Richard Checketts were an outstandingly consistent opening pair. Checketts scored 681 runs at over 52 – an incredible average over a season in a struggling side. Abdul made 582 runs at 41. Robbie Smyth had a disappointing season by his high standards but still averaged 34. Dave Hinsley, Greg Hayton and Dave Bird toiled manfully with the ball, and there were promising performances from youngsters Brett Crisp and Dominic Manthorpe. These lads had begun the season in the newly formed Academy XI and it was a pleasure not only to see their progress over the season, but the depth of young talent the club now possesses. On many occasions the adults in the team were not required to bat or bowl, or when they did, as I know from my own experience, the juniors got them out of trouble! Another new development, our girls team, received some instant publicity recently when they were seen on Anglia Tonight showing their skills in front of the all-conquering England Ladies team at East Bergholt. Several of the girls have already had county trials. Finally, best of luck to our chairman Gary Girling, who goes to Lord’s on October 17th for the National cricket OSCA awards as the Suffolk winner in the NatWest Cricket Force category. Farmer

First year success for Hadleigh Bowling Club For the first time in the clubs history, in addition to playing under the Bowls England banner, Hadleigh Bowling Club entered a team in Division H of the Ipswich and District 2 Wood Federation Bowls League and will be promoted as champions. Indeed at the time of writing the club are awaiting confirmation that they may be the highest scorers in the entire 8 divisions of the league. Congratulations to Alex Terris and his team on a great effort. Federation Bowls is an independent organisation from Bowls England with their own rules and is only played in the East of England stretching from East Anglia to the North East as far as County Durham. This format has proven so popular with the playing membership that the club is considering entering a second team for next season. Although the Bowls England format still remains the principal core of the clubs competitive teams. On Tuesday 6 September the club played host to the Suffolk EBA President’s team and although it was an enjoyable afternoon the weather was very disappointing with the match was restricted to just 16 ends. A busy week at the club concluded with us hosting the presentation match for the Sudbury Mixed Triples League with 2 matches on Saturday 10 September, the League Champions, Sudbury Vs The Rest of the League with Sheila Lardil and Dave Kemp representing Hadleigh in the Rest of the League team who ran out winners by 58 to 50. Mean while on rinks 1,2,&3 the more serious business of the Millennium Cup Final between Royal Mail Woods and Three Clubs, both of Colchester, was being played and Three Clubs were the worthy winners by 63 to 43. We send our congratulations to them.

A 20/20 game was played with help from Milden Cricket Club and teams made up of players from both villages. Milden managed to regain the cup in a game of good spirits and flexible umpiring. With the BBQ, bar, lovely cakes, ice creams, raffle and lucky dip we managed to raise £400. Thank you to everyone who supported the day and helped. In memory of John Bailey who was Milden Cricket Clubs Honorary Vice President, a bench has been dedicated to him at Milden Pavilion.

Star Westwood gives tips to Newton’s Jed World number one golf challenger Lee Westwood has given a promising Suffolk school boy tips on how to follow in his footsteps. Newton Green’s Jed Seeley played six holes with the super star along with one of England’s top girl hopes Charlotte Leathem. They had been among skills test winners in earlier events organised as part of Westwood’s national academy scheme, and qualified to play six holes with him on his Lindrick, near Worksop, home course. Jed, the 14year-old Suffolk junior player and Sudbury Upper School pupil, who has halved his handicap to eight in the last six months, initially played 13 holes with Charlotte, who at the age of 16 plays off scratch and is one of England’s rising young stars. Jed, who would eventually like to turn professional, said: “Charlotte and I were very evenly matched, although no scores were kept as it was for fun. We then played six holes with Lee and were able to relax as we both started by hitting good tee shots. He gave us advice on the importance of continual practice to develop our shot making, and we both gained a lot from the day.” Jed initially qualified for the day by winning a qualifying skills test event, having been put forward by the junior section of the Suffolk Golf Union.
Hadleigh Table Tennis Club For the 2011/12 Season two teams will be competing in the Ipswich and District Table Tennis League. Last Season’s Division Two Champions, Hadleigh “A”, will play in Division 1 and the current team of Mike Emmerson, Stephen Holland and Peter Wright will undoubtedly be strengthened by another experienced Division 1 player, Graham Mortimer. Hadleigh “Owls” who finished in a mid-table spot last season will again play in Division 3. An addition to the team will be the capable Mick Pollard who is returning from injury, and has past experience in Divisions 1 and 2. Regretfully, Hadleigh “Condors” has dropped out of the League this season due to the players having other commitments. The “Condors” started in Division Four in 2004 and consisted mainly of the Club’s Junior players. To their credit they reached a very good standard in Division 1.
