Bereavement Charity enters Second Year After a short period of putting up their feet local couple Margaret and Patrick Palmer are now moving into the second year of running the not for profit charity Suffolk Bereavement Support. The organisation recently held an Information Event at Hadleigh Library and is also reaching further afield to Sudbury and the surrounding areas to raise awareness of the service. The organisation offers support to the recently bereaved and those coping with a delayed reaction to loss and seeks to ease loss through group support, based on the value of working in groups as an alternative to one to one counselling. Groups are run by experienced group leaders and enable group members to safely share experiences of loss. Together with peer support the groups help members understand the many phases of loss and its impacts and to develop individual coping strategies to support the process of adjustment. Group members are put under no pressure at meetings and can simply observe and listen until they feel ready to join in. Encouragingly our groups report the uplifting and comforting effect of the expression of experiences with others in a similar situation, and which might otherwise be pent up and damaging to both mental and physical health. Groups are now held in Hadleigh (afternoon) and Capel St Mary (early evening) are free and open to Suffolk residents. If anyone would like further information please contact Patrick or Margaret: www.suffolkbereavement.org.uk Email: sbsg246@gmail.com or Telephone 01206 299832

We are a group of patient volunteers who act as representatives of the patient population, connecting and providing a means of communication between our general practice and the community it serves. We meet on a regular basis to have open and constructive discussions about the services available – always with a view to taking action to make real improvements for patients and for the practice. We are also developing a virtual group for online discussion and opinion for those unable to attend meetings. We aim to affect change by involving patients and their carers in improving the health and well-being of the local community. Did you know? Only 23 % of our patients currently use the online appointment system although many more according to our March survey would like to. We want to help to improve this with your support. This will help you and the practice. Members of the PPG will be available soon to offer support and training to those who would like to use the online facilities. Dates will be advertised or contact the PPG if you are interested. November 13th – 19th is National Self-care Week. This year’s theme is “Embracing Self-care for Life” Starting November 3rd the Physiotherapy Team at Hadleigh Health Centre are planning to start a regular hourly session of 'Health Walks' on a Friday afternoon from 2 pm lasting about an hour. Everyone is welcome. Just 10 minutes of brisk walking every day can benefit your health, improve the way you feel and reduce the risk of a number of long-term conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Active 10 quickly and simply shows you how many brisk 10 minute walks you're doing and how to fit more into your day. This is a free downloadable app. Many patients are not aware they need to give signed permission for their G.P. medical records to be shared with other professionals. There are many benefits for doing this including for example enabling organisations that are working together to support your care by finding relevant information when they need it. The risks need to be explored too. You may be concerned that sensitive information might be shared. This debate will be the opening discussion for the VPPG. We will be interested to hear your views. For further information or if you would like to join us please contact Lindsay Panton, Chair of PPG 01473 823503 or at hadleighboxfordppg@gmail.com or Tracey Squirrell Practice Manager 01473 01473 820127 tracey.squirrell@nhs.net

St. Margaret’s Matters In past weeks, a constant flow of experts, volunteers, craftsmen and friends, have worked in the church and grounds. Tasks include, refurbished gallery seating, trench work, which now houses piping taking overhead wiring underground. The crumbling steps to the bell room are now safe, and the way up can be lit. The safe has had a makeover, and ahead is pruning and pollarding of some churchyard trees. Obstacles are now clear for us to prepare for bell grant application. Our thanks to all those of you who have helped to maintain our heritage

Tickets for the hugely popular Lavenham Literary Festival are selling fast, with some sessions close to being a sell-out. However, it is not too late to book for the event on 17-19 November and to hear and meet speakers from the impressive line-up for the weekend. The festival offers a fascinating contrast surrounding World WarII, with Clare Mulley presenting her latest book ‘The Women who flew for Hitler’ on the Saturday and a panel of outstanding biographers coming together on the Sunday afternoon to talk about THE British statesman Winston Churchill. If crime fiction is your scene, bestselling author, Sophie Hannah – who has published two novels featuring the wonderful Hercule Poirot - will be entertaining the audience on Saturday afternoon, in the company of her mother, Adele Geras – herself a wonderfully popular author. The Saturday afternoon also offers a ‘fringe event’ and a rare opportunity to dip into ‘The Golden Age of Ocean Liners’ with Greg Votolato, Course Director at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The popular radio presenter JP Devlin from Radio 4’s Saturday Live programme will be in conversation with internationally famous author Erica James on Sunday morning at 11 am. The popularity of the event has led the Committee to increase its size to 10 sessions, most of which will be held in Lavenham’s impressive Village Hall. The event also boasts a sell-out Festival Dinner, with speaker Simon Barnes, and an all-day creative writing course run by the highly rated Bridget Holding of Wild Words. The full programme can be found on www.lavenhamliteraryfestival.co.uk
Xanthe’s quiz and auction night is a triumph! On behalf of Xanthe, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the companies, and shops in and around Hadleigh, who donated raffle and auction prizes for our fundraising night, in aid of our daughter, Xanthe. Particular thanks to Frosts Estate Agents who kindly sponsored the welcome drinks, and to Smugglers catering for their wonderful food on the night. The evening was a huge success and the money raised will be spent Xanthe's ongoing therapy needs, further to her having pneumococcal meningitis and a stroke as a baby. She is making great progress, and it is thanks to these evenings that we can ensure that she continues to do so, and reach her potential in life. Hugo and Jess Carter

Hadleigh Healing Society We have all seen and read in the newspapers the horrific damage done by hurricanes, floods and earthquakes in various parts of the world. One cannot imagine what it must be like to lose your home, possessions and have just the clothes you stand up in.

Everyone has their own personal problems to overcome at times and if you feel the need to talk to someone who will just listen and not make any judgements please share your problems with our qualified, registered healers. There is a saying “a problem shared is a problem halved” . If you need to talk please telephone 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org and we will listen.

We began the autumn season of talks, not with the advertised ‘Something Silver’ with Howard Drury, as he was unwell, but with a lively and fascinating talk on the Art and Iris Collection of Sir Cedric Morris, by Sarah Cook. Sarah was Head Gardener at Sissinghust for 14 years, and following early retirement, moved back to the Hadleigh area to research and find as many of the varieties as she could, of the Iris’s bred at Benton End. She has now established the National Collection of these elegant and strikingly coloured plants. We heard about Sir Cedric’s life at his home in Hadleigh, of his pupils and his art. He was a prolific painter of landscapes, birds, plants and portraits, as well as a keen gardener and plantsman, and a major influence for other gardeners, for example, Beth Chatto. We were very lucky to have this insight into his life, and to have Sarah step into the breach at the last moment. Thank you Sarah! Our next meeting, the AGM on Saturday November 4th, will feature Ken Thompson, with his talk - Modern Garden Myths. He will be casting a quizzical eye on gardening topics including how bees improve strawberries, the difference between Spanish and English bluebells, compost tea, how plants get sunburn, and why planting by the moon is, so he says, utter nonsense. Annual subscriptions are due on this date, and the cost of this is still only £12 for the year, so do consider joining us. Also at this meeting, Barbara Segall, will be signing copies of her new book, Secret Gardens of East Anglia, with stunning photography by the late Marcus Harpur. Our celebrity speaker on Saturday 17th February 2018, is CLEVE WEST, with his talk Healing Gardens, and it will be held at Chamberlin Hall, Bildeston, and not at Hitcham Village Hall, as it holds more people. Please contact us if you wish to come, as tickets are limited, and there is already a lot of interest, as you can imagine. For further information please check the website. eastangliangardengroup.onesuffolk.net
Where’s that dwarf gone? HADS have been really busy preparing for its next show Snow White and the Six Dwarfs which is being put on in January 2018 in St Marys Church Hadleigh. Written and directed by Trev Clarke and Co directed by by Russ Allen this panto has something for everyone. Set in and around Hadleigh Snow White assisted by her nanny get themselves in all kinds of mischief when all they are after is a bit of love and tenderness. Of course along the way they meet the dwarfs which adds another spin to the story. The show features song, dance and some surprises along the way too which you might not except. Tickets will be on sale soon at Keith Avis. Through the year HADS have to fund raise or ask for sponsorship for its events. As Hadleigh does not have a set venue with stage, sound lighting etc this has to be set up and some elements hired at a huge cost. If your interested in being a sponsor for our show or would like to make a donation to HADS please get in touch with me via email hadleighents@aol.com or contact Jo on 07743970812. Lots of hard work goes in to our show and I’d like to thank Keith Avis for its continued support, Hadleigh Football Club and St Marys Church for all helping HADS with continuing to put on shows in Hadleigh. To keep up to date with our news check out the facebook page, look for HADS Hadleigh. Trev, Chairman of HADS

Pieces being played will include the last movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Mozart), the beautiful Nocturne from Borodin’s 2nd. String Quartet, a Tango, Walking in the air (from the Snowman), the wonderfully melodic two middle movements of Dvorak’s 8th. Symphony and that lovely chorale by Bach: Sleepers’ Awake. As usual, entrance is free, and all are welcome, but we do ask you to give a donation as you leave. This will go towards the cost of the concert and a charity to be announced. John Druce (Chairman, Hadleigh Orchestra)
Hadleigh Evening WI We did not have a speaker for our October meeting but instead we enjoyed a Harvest Supper. This was a delicious two-course meal catered by Helen Golland of Angel Delights. We were delighted to welcome one new member and two recently joined members. It was a very relaxed and convivial evening as everyone just wanted to chat and catch up. Sophie Rickards, our President, conducted the business of the evening over the coffee and mints as there were quite a few forthcoming events to discuss. The Lunch Club will not be meeting this Friday as we had the meal this evening. We will, however, meet as usual next month on the third Tuesday, in the Seminar Room above the Library when our talk will be about Pearls and Gem Stones. New members are always welcome and if anyone would like any further information, please contact Rae Stapleton. Tel:01473 823585 or email: raestapleton@hotmail.co.uk

Member of Parliament for South Suffolk In last month’s column I explained that I would be launching a parliamentary petition urging the Government to support the construction of a Sudbury Bypass. I have been delighted by the response since then from all sides of the debate. Wherever one stands on the issue, it’s great to have such widespread public discourse. Of course, there are many who worry about congestion and pollution in Sudbury but would not want a bypass to be built near the water meadows. I quite understand; any route must be as environmentally sympathetic as possible. Many also fear that a bypass would result in lots of development along its flanks. To this, I can only reiterate that across South Suffolk we have real examples of very effective bypasses – Boxford, Hadleigh and Long Melford - and it is striking how those roads, all built some years ago, remain flanked by open countryside rather than a parade of housing estates and factories. Indeed, imagine if tomorrow we decided that in order to preserve our countryside we would grass over the Boxford, Hadleigh or Long Melford bypasses. Can one imagine Boxford with all the traffic going through it that currently goes down the 1071? Likewise Hadleigh. How much harder would it be to get from Sudbury to Bury without the Melford bypass? In such campaigns it’s easy to exaggerate fearful impressions of the impact change will have. But if we don’t change the way traffic moves around Sudbury I genuinely fear for the town’s future health. To this it is argued that we can still move the HGVs and heavy traffic out without a bypass, just by moving the strategic lorry route. To which I say, where to? Lorries cannot vanish. They can either go through other communities likely to fiercely object, or they can drive through Sudbury. Alternatively, they can drive round it - but only if we build a bypass. The petition is available to sign online at www.sudburybypass.org.uk. In addition, paper copies are available to sign at Sudbury Town Hall, Cornard Stevenson Centre, Winch & Blatch and other shops displaying a petition poster.

Town representatives celebrated as a newly converted healthcare centre is welcomed to Hadleigh High Street. The Health By Design team were joined by the Mayor of Hadleigh, Councillor Yvonne Free and over 30 more dignitaries and guests from the local community, as they officially launched the opening of their new one-stop shop for private healthcare. Located at 14 High Street, the centre will offer a dedicated receptionist, waiting area and four comfortable, confidential and well equipped therapy/consultation rooms. The creator of Health By Design, Karen Finch, who is also managing director of hearing specialists The Hearing Care Centre explained how the idea was born: “It was when I was juggling my personal diary and seeking out a selection of quality therapists and healthcare professionals for my mother, I simply asked myself – Why isn’t there somewhere that ensures clients will always have the very best experience and receive quality of care all under one roof? So I set off on a mission and with that Health By Design was born.” The centre is currently looking for private healthcare providers and complimentary therapists to join the practice. Specialist services could include anything from reflexology, counselling, orthopedics, physio, podiatry, complementary medicine and many more.

Hadleigh Healing Society There is so much talk about money on the news whether it be on how much it is going to cost for us to exit the European Union. How much our young people are getting into debt by going to university or for others, low wages, high rents and everyday living is sending them spiralling into the red. As a nation we are generous in giving to worthy causes not only with money but also with time. All these things play on people's minds causing them to feel very down and out of sorts. We cannot wave a magic wand and wipe out their debt but we can listen to their problems. Talking helps and our qualified registered healers are there for you. Please telephone 01473 823282 (answer machine) or log onto www.hadleighhealingsociety.org and we will listen.

Drivers still using phones at the wheel despite tougher punishments One in four drivers still use their mobile phones at the wheel – despite the introduction of harsher penalties for those who are caught breaking the law. In March, the Government cracked down on offenders by doubling the punishment from three points to six and increasing the fine to £200. Since then, the number of motorists who chat, text, email or check social media has fallen – but 23% of those questioned by the RAC admitted they still habitually use their phone while driving. Drivers are four times more likely to be involved in a crash while using their phone, the motoring organisation said. The RAC’s Report on Motoring 2017 survey also suggests that 40% of drivers send messages, write emails and check social media while sitting Hugh Rowland in traffic – despite the fact it is against the law. RAC road safety spokesman Pete Williams said: “It is clear we have a hard core of persistent offenders who believe they can get away with it by continuing to flout the law.” The number of people who illegally make or receive calls is falling – from 31% in 2016 to 23% this year. Of the 15% of drivers who the RAC calls “hardcore” law breakers, 57% were men. In July, Suffolk Police launched a campaign to change the perception of how people view the offence, with the aim to make using a phone at the wheel as socially unacceptable as drinkdriving. Police say using a mobile behind the wheel is one of the ‘fatal four’ traffic offences, along with drink/drug-driving, driving too fast, and failing to wear a seatbelt. How can Gotelee’s criminal law lawyers help you? We all know how important it is to stay safe on the roads. But even with the best of intentions sometimes things can go wrong and the police become involved. If you are under investigation or have been charged with an offence, we won’t judge – instead, we’ll carefully assess your situation and advise on the best way forward. Gotelee has a wealth of experience in representing those who are alleged to have broken the law. Our team of expert lawyers can explain the options open to you in a clear and understandable way. Gotelee has offices in Hadleigh, Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge and Melton.

Mrs Pretty Our speaker, Julia Barratt, arrived in costume and with two further outfits in tow this really set the scene for her talk “Mrs Pretty – A Business Woman’s Role in WW1” Although Mabel Pretty (born 1872) possessed considerable wealth and influence within society she used both to improve the lot of the less fortunate. Her involvement in the Pretty family corset business enabled her to put her innovative business ideas into practice. These included an in house crèche for employees’ children and staff training. Mabel used her wealth and extensive connections to great effect during WW1. Thanks to the organisational skills and financial resources of her and her like- minded friends, Suffolk played a key role in supplying and caring for the returning wounded soldiers and officers. In spite of Julia’s assurances, members were not convinced that Pretty’s corsets were comfortable. An interesting, most enjoyable evening which had clearly been very well researched.

There are two areas to visit; one with a staggering collection of WW11 memorabilia and artefacts all packed into the original chapel, the second is an enormous hangar with an impressive array of restored fighter planes and armaments. Well worth a visit if only to support the dedicated volunteers who have painstakingly put the collection together before the items are lost forever. Re-opens again next spring. www.wattishamstationheritage.org/index.html Gentle Ramblers The Ramblers had a pleasant walk round Arger Fens followed by a welcome break at Assington Barns. Lunch Bunchers occupied a large table at the community owned pub, The Brook Inn, at Washbrook. Everyone enjoyed their choices for a freshly prepared two course meal followed by coffee and mints. Conversation ranged from Brexit, or the lack of it, Victoria and the changing approach to the facts of life to name just a few of the topics up for analysis.

Ebony’s Blog Life at The Shelley Centre How much we like the smell of apples here! Loads of windfall apples littered the ground by the arena and made the mouths of the herd water as they worked. They are not allowed to snack whilst being ridden of course, but Lyn lets them have a treat before they get turned out at the end of the day’s lessons. Since they are walking round the arena for perhaps four lessons in half a day the live horses naturally get a little bored. Lyn has a team of ablebodied riders who exercise the horses and ponies on a regular basis to keep them fit and happy. I thought these pictures of Bob and Alfie on their return from hacking out with Chris and Sue looked nice, especially as the weather was kind. When the sun streams in to the yard everyone looks happy. My last photo shows Parys enjoying the sun on her back; she has been lame for seven weeks now, having to live in her box and watch the others being ridden, poor girl. Luckily Babs and I don’t have those problems, although Babs has started groaning loudly when she is giving a ride, I find I can’t sleep whist that is going on. The herd will survive Guy Fawkes night; I hope you all have fun with your fireworks too and please spare a thought for animals who don’t like bangs. There is a shoot where we live and the herd gets a bit anxious when the guns start popping. What we’d really like is to have someone shoot some rabbits for us, we wouldn’t complain at all. They are taking over the world! Rabbit pie anyone? Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473 824172

Put a stop to this threat to our roads and children’s safety
Stop the expansion of Hadleigh Quarry The small quarry at Aldham Mill Hill has applied to Suffolk County Council for permission to install a huge washing / processing plant, 4 associated silt lagoons and a stockpile. If approved it would totally alter the nature of the site and lead to a massive increase in the range of activities undertaken there, with wide ranging and serious consequences.
• The wash plant would be a monster piece of equipment – equivalent in length to 3 big buses. In fact, it is suspiciously large relative to the quarry’s output. So much so that we suspect a longer term, hidden agenda to bring in aggregates from far and wide to keep the monster fed. • Apart from the risk of injury to children/teenagers from falling off the machinery and climbing on unstable stockpiles of gravel, the lagoons would create the additional risk of drowning. These worries are not groundless. Fencing around the quarry is completely inadequate and youngsters have been seen playing on the site already, and in one instance the police were called. • It would mean at least double the number of trucks on local roads which would add to the congestion and road safety problems already experienced at the Aldham Mill Hill/A1071 junction.
• The new installation would be noisy, create lots of dust and lead to mud on the road in winter.

...and then use the ‘dogleg’ on the bypass – making this existing accident spot even more dangerous.
TO MORRISONS
Do you know of any accidents or near misses at this junction? Whether the quarry owners obtain S.C.C. permission to extend their commercial activities to the extent that they could permanently destroy this area of national beauty is something that cannot be forecast. But the fact remains that they will still be able to work the quarry under their present permission until the year 2040. The junction is inadequately designed for the amount of general traffic that passes through it currently, so imagine the risks of all those extra juggernauts joining it every working day.
We are aware that in August 2016 there was a serious collision at this junction, and another about a similar time this year. Should you know of any other incident or near miss it will be helpful to us to hear from you. You can email the address below with details. Plus if you have already made an objection using the petition, please make sure you’ve added your traffic concerns to your comments box. Email: fredbreyer12@gmail.com

STOP PRESS Hadleigh Town Council unanimously rejected a revised application (Oct 12) on the grounds of hidden and misleading agendas. Will SCC still go against Hadleigh public opinion now?
A Hadleigh company punching above their weight Local company GinPunch, the craft gin specialists, set up a year ago with the aim of bringing true small batch craft gin to a national audience whilst also telling the stories of the people behind the distilleries. Apart from selling this beautiful craft gin on their website www.ginpunch.com, they have devised ways in which people can try the premium products without breaking the bank. Some of the premium gin bottles sell for upwards of £40 so the new ‘GinTubes’, which is now a registered trade mark, is a way of trying and sharing craft gin at a more affordable rate. A GinTube is a sturdy recycled postal tube which neatly fits 2 or 3 100ml bottles of craft gin carefully decanted with the permission of the brand owners. Other similar products only use 25ml or 50ml bottles but our 100ml bottle is equivalent to 4 x singles or 2 x doubles in each. That’s 4 x doubles or 6 x doubles in a GinTube depending on the size you choose. Cutting down on waste packaging is a big drive for the business and giving people a greater gin choice whilst reducing their carbon footprint is a win-win scenario. GinPunch are constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of the spirit drink market and that is evident in their new product called ‘Tipsy Crackers’. Tipsy Crackers are Christmas or party crackers with a ‘tipsy’ centre treat – gin, rum or tequila! They have limited stocks so I would advise getting your orders in early. www.ginpunch.com

Let this notice start with a denial. We are NOT a Nimby Protest Group we are concerned with what is about to result in disaster and affect the rest of Hadleigh if allowed to happen. The Hadleigh Quarry had been unused for decades since its minor use to supply the laying of the Hadleigh bypass and A1070 in 1985. In 2001 we contested an application by Tarmac to change their permit to intensify their working at the quarry and we were successful. The present owners of the permit, whose workings have been at a very low level in the last two years of ownership, are now applying to do virtually the same as the rejected Tarmac proposal, but on a much larger scale. The result will be an environmental disaster both to the landscape and to all the associated consequences which we are trying to protect future generations against. Above all is the effect that the expansion would have on the ever increasing traffic on the bypass at the Aldham Hill/Calais Street Junction AND ON ROAD SAFETY for everyone that uses that junction. Make your views and concerns known by signing our online petition – for details see our whole page in this issue. And please also make your views known to your local Councillor, be it Town, District or County. Hadleigh Town Council have made their objections to the plan, why not make yours? Thank you on behalf of the protest group, fredbreyer12@gmail.com

The Summer has gone – sadly, but you can still have some fun playing indoor Carpet Bowls at our Bowls Club. We have gained some terrific new members, all of whom have taken to carpet bowls like 'a duck to water' but we can still accommodate new members. We play at Lavenham Village Hall at 10am on a Tuesday morning, and if you can arrive at 9.45am this will give us a chance to see how many mats we need to put out and give us a chance to give you some tuition, if you need it, although it is a fairly easy game to pick up. You are welcome to just drop in for a short time or the whole morning session until 12.30. We also welcome you to our evening session on Thursdays from 7.30 until 10pm. But we do play matches on some Thursdays so please give us a call to check before you come. The first two sessions are free to see if Carpet Bowls is for you. We have lost several members over the last year, either through illness or members moving away and would love to introduce new players to our game. Tuition is available if you have never played or maybe you have recently moved into the area, if so it is an ideal way to get to make new friends. There is also the opportunity to play friendly matches with other villages, and these are fun social occasions. We are busy planning our Christmas lunch out at a local restaurant and playing our annual in-house competitions, which are optional, but fun too. I attach a photo of the first winners of one of these competition, our Mixed Pairs, which was won by Brenda McIntyre and Martin Wheal. We will be closed over Christmas and New Year from Tuesday 19 December, when we will be going out for the Christmas lunch, so no bowls that morning, until Tuesday 2 January 2018. If you need any further information about Carpet Bowls or to check if we are at the Village Hall on a particular Thursday evening please call Marilyn and Jon Beatham on 01787 247805.

Layham Playgroup CIO Special Open Day Thursday 9th November 2017 There are currently a number of spaces available at Layham Playgroup CIO based at Layham Village Hall. They are holding an open day to invite parents and children to visit. Layham Playgroup shouldn’t be overlooked as a wonderful option for young children and an alternative to larger mainstream school nurseries. It is a special place to learn and play that offers something unique and different in a rural setting. Playgroup’ began in 1975 with a group of mum’s from the village who wanted a creative, safe, friendly place for the children to go. This is still the aim today, but it has also moved with the times. The expertise at Layham Playgroup lies in developing the seeds of independence in young children who are away from their primary career for the first time. Simple choice is a BIG idea at this early age and this is handled with special skill at Layham - choosing activities, choosing stories, choosing friends. The fact they are small and have a high staff to child ratio, makes them special. It means they have lots of time to give to each child and bring them on ready for school. Strong simple values are promoted; sharing with other children, caring for each other and toys, accepting others difference. Children receive their formal Learning Journals when they start and staff follow a forward thinking Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum (EYFS) with weekly themes, i.e., ‘water’, ‘ harvest’ etc. The emphasis at Layham Playgroup, however, continues to be on nature and play! Den building and role-play, country walks in wellies, bug hunting in the garden, puzzles and board games! Integrating the two strategies of play and structured learning is the work of skilled manager, Michelle Elmer who has been successfully running it for the past 10 years. Every morning they set up the activities and new things for the children to explore. Healthy cooking features regularly too as they have great facilities at the village hall this – the children learn lots - measuring, pouring, tasting – yum! They have circle time with music and sharing news. At the end of day they provide a photo slideshow so parents can see what the children have been doing and helps them connect with their day. When ‘Playgroup’ started 42 years ago, a supportive mum’s coffee morning developed and uniquely, Layham Playgroup have retained this special element! Open to anyone, they run Ladybirds Toddler Group every Wednesday (9.30am - 11am) for babies and children aged 0-5. They have storytelling and songs, pictures and play dough, treasure baskets and tea for the grown ups. It’s a relaxed, friendly group - allowing children to become familiar with setting alongside their parents, which facilitates a smoother transition into the main Playgroup when the children are ready to begin. It’s a lovely gentle start (but not compulsory), especially for children who can feel overwhelmed by big busy nurseries. Many working parents need all day sessions, so Layham Playgroup now offers full days on Monday and Thursday (9.15am - 3.30pm), then half days on Tuesdays and Fridays (9.15 - 12.30pm). They also run day trips which parents are invited to join them on – past trips include the zoo, farm and the theatre. Don’t forget the little places – they might be just what you have been looking for ! Open Day - Thursday 9th November 2017 – drop in from 9.30am Layham Village Hall, Church Lane, Lower Layham, IP7 5LZ Tel 07999 866419 More info and online prospectus: http://www.layhamplaygroup.co.uk

On Saturday 14th Oct I joined many other runners at Christchurch Park in Ipswich to take part in the Big Fun Run. Everyone taking part has their own special reasons and many were supporting some amazing charities. My reasons for taking part were multiple. This time last year I was experiencing the worst episode of depression I had ever had in over twenty years. Getting out of bed every morning was a gargantuan task, my brain felt frazzled and everything around me was grey. I had no enthusiasm, felt no joy and the sense of futility and dread was my constant companion. Fast forward one year and I am well into recovery and feel stronger and more motivated than ever. In fact my spark started to kick back in again a week before Christmas last year and my health has continued to improve and stabilise. My recovery was accelerated by the love and support I was shown by my family and friends. The cherry on the top of my recovery cake presented itself to me in the form of my employers Suffolk Artlink. The Charity which was set up to provide inclusive and accessible creative activities, gave me the time and support to get well. They saw me as a valuable asset to the team and their encouragement and belief in me did not stop just because I was unwell. Their view that I was still the same person, despite my health struggles motivated me to fight hard to get well again and back to the job I love as a learning support tutor within the Jumpstart programme. Suffolk Artlink have been an integral part of Dementia Support and awareness in Hadleigh running creative opportunities for people with dementia and their careers. The project I work with supports adults with learning disabilities to celebrate achievement and participation through creativity. I am very privileged to work with such talented individuals and support them as they work with professional artists on each module of the course . Our current module Protest Arts has enabled many of our students to have a voice and speak out about issues that they feel strongly about, being bullied, the need for more kindness in the world and other injustices. The conversations have developed and many t-shirt, badges and posters have been made as a result, which will be sold at pop up shops at the end of the course in December. This year World Mental Health Day takes place on Tuesday 10th October. The emphasis this year focused on mental health and the workplace. This seems particularly apt to me considering the situation I found myself in. Suffolk Artlink is a relatively small charity and I knew my presence and role was missed within the team, in the short time I had to take off to get well. However, they never doubted that I would return and therefore treated me as a human being not just a number or a commodity. It would be great if all employers invested in the wellbeing of their staff in this way!! Running has been a fantastic aid to my mental and physical wellbeing and taking part in the 5k fun run on Saturday gave me the opportunity to publicly celebrate my recovery through taking part in this challenge. At the same time, taking part also gave me the opportunity to give back to the Charity I work for and raise vital funds to continue the work that we do in the community connecting individuals and groups through creativity. We are all neurologically diverse. As a society we would benefit from awareness issues surrounding mental health and wealth, particularly in the work place. This would enable individuals to speak up and admit to needing help/ understanding without fear of shame or recrimination. When I ran on Saturday after weeks of training, I felt honoured to wear my Artlink t-shirt and felt very grateful that I have been so supported in my recovery. It's lovely to see lots of groups in Hadleigh offering support to individuals who are struggling with their mental health. My own battle was exacerbated my a misdiagnosis and subsequent reaction to the medication prescribed. It can happen to anyone, no one is immune. However the good news is that there is a lot we can do to support ourselves and others around us. I have found exercise to be a great mood stabiliser. Pink on the playlist is my running partner and she reminds me that I am not running to be a size 10 but to stay mentally and physically well. Awareness isn't just about sharing a post on fb, it's about acceptance and understanding on a human and personal level and through our actions. But perhaps most importantly the fight against mental health begins with kindness, to ourselves and each other. Rachel Bennett, Learning Support Tutor, Jumpstart
Entente Cordiale at Christmas! “It’s possibly my favourite time of the year” enthuses Cathy Bullen of Bildeston’s French Decorative boutique The Boule-in “I just adore all the glitter and magic and the fact one’s thinking of others - finding the perfect gift is so exciting!” Cathy and her husband Peter have clearly had a wonderful time sourcing new stock for their up coming Fête de Nöel as their barn and garden is a veritable treasure trove of fabulous decorative pieces for the home and truly thoughtful gifts this Christmas. “There’s nothing nicer than being given something really thought out - a special gift doesn’t have to be extravagant, just personal and hopefully original: What could be nicer than a lovely vase to go with your flowers, a decanter filled with bubble bath or a wonderful old vine corkscrew to go with that bottle of wine!” In her enthusiasm Cathy does concede that Christmas shopping can be exhausting “Which is why we try and make our Fête de Nöel a really happy and original shopping experience and part of the whole fun of Christmas there’s mulled wine and french carols and an abundance of unusual gifts that we’ve sourced from all over France. My biggest problem is wanting to keep the gorgeous things we find!” Perhaps she should take note of antique expert Mark Hill, who commented "The Boule-in is perfect gifting territory - self gifting included” Fête de Nöel Thursday 16th - Saturday 18th November (10am - 7pm daily) High Street Bildeston 01449 740359. www.boule-in.co.uk

Rainbows all round For good health, it is said we should aim to eat a rainbow every day. This feels an easy task in the summer when salads are a lot more appealing in the warmer weather. But as the seasons have turned to begin the colder months of the year, a bowl of crispy lettuce does not seem quite so inviting. But the rainbow is not consigned to spring and summer foods, only. Indeed, this time of year brings with it a whole host of wonderful, seasonal fruits and vegetables that are as tasty as they are colourful. From the deep purple of beetroot to bright orange pumpkins, vibrant green leeks, yellow squash and the ruby red stems of Swiss chard there is a rainbow to put on your plate. Perhaps this can go some way to negate the dwindling of colours outside as we move from the fiery hues that embellish our trees at the beginning of the season to the bleaker, barer branches that come later. Suffolk is home to a great many growers and sellers of local produce, from town markets to farm shops, so there really is no excuse not to indulge in some of these vibrant ingredients. You could easily make it a day out too, especially at this time of the year, when many places are starting to hold Christmas markets and fayres. Whether it’s your own town or one nearby why not explore all it has to offer and bring home some goodies to please your palate and plate. jenny-may.com

Squirrels (Reception) Squirrels have had a great start to the Autumn Term. The children have settled in to Kersey school life quickly and have already started to develop new skills. Our topic this half term is ‘Animals Around the World’ and we are already looking forward to our Colchester Zoo trip in October. Hedgehogs (Years 1 and 2) This half term Hedgehogs class are learning about Africa. We have learned about the different habitats and animals that live there. We are looking forward to visiting Colchester Zoo to develop our understanding further. In literacy we read "If I ran the zoo" by Dr Suess. We then designed our own zoos and created leaflets explaining all about the different animals that would live there. This week we have been reading a jungle poem and began to write our own poems using rhyme and alliteration. Badgers (Years 3 and 4) In Badger's class we are really excited to be learning about the Vikings! At the end of this half term we are having our own Viking themed day, where we are dressing up. We are also really excited to be writing our own stories themed around 'Beowulf'. We have created our own hero and monsters and will be using our Art lesson to create our own front cover for these books. In PE this half term we are developing our hockey and basketball skills, which we can hopefully use in the different sporting tournaments that will happen this year. Owls (Years 5 and 6) Owls class have been continuing their learning about World War Two, finding out about The Blitz and evacuation, as well as Winston Churchill. Everyone has got into the role of an evacuee, writing diary entries as though they had been evacuated. We have been to Duxford, stayed overnight in school, played old war time games- now we are learning to dance to some war time music and we will soon be learning some war time songs ready for our 'VE day' style celebration afternoon in December.

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Our last meeting Monday 9th October 2017.... We had something a little bit different last time out - butterfly conservation, it proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Peter Maddison was an engaging speaker and we all came away knowing a lot more about these fascinating creatures which brighten up and add life to our gardens. As I write this (mid October) there are certainly still butterflies about, mostly Red Admiral, taking advantage of the nectar store in shows of Michaelmas daisies. Certainly we can all do more to encourage butterfies to our gardens by introducing more nectar producing plants throughout the growing season, starting with crocus in early spring. And just be careful if you venture into your shed in the winter months as that untidy corner could well be the ideal place for one or more of the five hibernating species that come to our region. Well done to Julia Wild whose Michaelmas daisy display ( minus any butterflies) was the clear winner of our monthly competition. And next up on Monday October 13th November..... We welcome back Matt Tanton-Brown, who many of you will know from his gardening expert slots on BBC Radio Suffolk. He last visited us back in August for our hugely successful Gardeners' Question Time event along with two of his BBC colleagues. Matt is a very knowledgeable and entertaining speaker and this time he will be covering a subject we gardeners all dread, but could always do with learning more about - pests and diseases. The meeting will start at 7.30 at Hadleigh Town Hall (entrance opposite The Ram). As usual it is just £1 for members and £3 for non members, surely a bargain evening out in anyone's book, with light refreshments included. There will be our usual raffle and plant stall, with the November competition, for anyone who wishes to enter being 'A vase of Autumn flowers'. It was encouraging to see a number of first time attendees at our October meeting and each indicated they would be coming again. So do come and join our friendly and growing group - gardening, as many of us know (and thankfully for those of us who work in it!) is a year round pastime and there is still much to do, even as winter approaches. If you have any interest in gardening do come along and join us next time when we will be learning about pests and diseases - controlling them, not catching them! Andy Leeder, Chairman

Down to Earth ...with Dave October started well with a trip to the Beth Chatto gardens Elmstead Market near Colchester. The weather was very kind to us with sunshine all day. Beth Chatto, who is now in her 95th year, is one of the most influential plantswomen of her time , with well over 2000 different varieties of plants growing in what is, virtually, her private garden. As well as the famous dry garden that was once a car park, there is now a scree garden and a large new timber building which is the venue for her educational trust. Her mantra is, as always, right plant right place. No garden visit is complete without the purchase of a plant and this time we bought a purple heuchera called plum pudding. This has unusually been planted in the basket where the trailing tomatoes were grown earlier in the year, new compost of course. Some small ivy cuttings have been planted with it and this should give a splash of colour for the winter. The experiment with growing dahlias on the allotment for cutting has worked reasonably well, with a bunch taken home most weeks, no doubt the first frost will put an end to them and they will end up on the compost heap. One of the three compost heaps has been emptied with the well rotted contents used as a top dressing on the daffodil bed and elsewhere. The cycle continues with old hosta leaves and asparagus ferns, runner bean stalks, windfall apples, annual weeds, lawn mowings, pet bedding etc etc being used to start a new heap. All mixed in with horse manure from the very handy stables. The general rule at this time of year is to remove saucers from beneath pots, but we have had so little rain lately that I shall leave mine for now.The same applies for moving into the greenhouse for the winter. With luck I can get everything under cover quickly if a frost is forecast. The seventy plus pansies bought as plug plants earlier in the year are nearly ready to go out into their various baskets and pots. The geraniums they replace will go on the compost, with new plants so reasonable and space at a premium in the greenhouse, it's hardly worth trying to overwinter them. Now is the time to cut autumn fruiting raspberries right down to the ground, unlike the summmer fruiting varieties where only ths year's fruiting branches are cut out. If you pick up fallen leaves with a rotary lawnmower they will be partly shredded and will decompose much quicker. As we don't have many leaves ours are put on the compost. One idea for next year is the installing of some seeper hoses around the garden. These look like a normal hose but they are porous and allow water to gradually just seep out. The water is directed right where it is needed with much less waste. That's all for this time, Dave

Kersey Mill Newsletter Works this month have been an important part of the restoration on the hurst frame, the central framework to hold the heavy grinding stones. The sturdy wooden framework supports the gears and the grinding stones and was originally built around 1810. There had been over the years much deterioration and the frame was extremely rotten in places. We have discovered evidence of earlier machinery including to what is seen today, we have discovered the Bridge trees originally were made from wood and subsequently replaced with the cast iron Bridge Tress that can be seen today probably circa 1860 when the mill underwent a major overhaul including the rear extension that housed 3 further pairs of stones that were stem driven and a lot of automation introduced when the mill was converted to a white flour mill. The Hurst Fame is particularly interesting in having a horizontal "lay-shaft" resulting with three pairs of stones being in a straight line. These works will continue into the new year. Once the structure has been rebuilt our attention will move to the gearing and reinstatement of the stones. This year we will be able to offer more surprises with this restoration work for our popular fundraising events Santa’s Workshop. Without these fundraising events our restoration wouldn’t be possible. Tickets for Santa’s Workshop events throughout December are available and can be purchased through the ticket agency www.kerseymll.net or alternatively through 01473 8293317. Every child (oh and the adults) will have a magical and unique Christmas adventure.

Helen Swift Curtains & Blinds I started making curtains for my own home as a hobby and gaining skills through courses, which led to getting some experience working part time for an interior design workshop. Before I knew it I was busy with my own client work making curtains and roman blinds for cottages to country houses, holiday lets to B&Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and even a horse box. I now have 13 years experience under my belt. Working from home I create bespoke soft furnishings from cushions and lampshades to pelmets and bedspreads. I can advise on all aspects of soft furnishings, from fabrics, trimmings and tiebacks to tracks, curtain poles and finials. Call me to arrange an appointment for me to measure and discuss your soft furnishing needs. I have sample books for both fabrics and trimmings, which I can either bring along or can be browsed by appointment at my workshop, or I can order in additional samples for you.

During the month of August 2017 patients were invited to call into D J Dunstone Optometry in Queen Street make a small donation to Vision Aid Overseas (VAO) and, in so doing, were entered into a draw. In just 4 weeks a total of ÂŁ84.40 was collected which has been sent to VAO for the eye care for Ethiopia campaign. Thank you to all of you who donated to this most worthy cause. We are pleased to announce that the prize draw (of a ÂŁ75 voucher to spend on goods or services in the Practice) was won by Mrs Sue Mackie of Elmsett. This is rather fitting as Wendy Thomas and Kate Rhodes she set up Elmsett School's drawing the winning ticket recycling Centre over 20 years ago to raise funds for the school and as a teaching aid for various Eco related topics. This involves collecting unwanted spectacles for VAO and continues to be very well supported by the pupils and local community.

Surviving Winter in Hadleigh Summer is almost a memory and we are gettting ready for another winter but nothing happens and summer continues,this is what happened in the winter just past. However, Surviving Hadleigh in Winter is preparing anyway and we hope to be in the Town Market again on Friday's, should you have a problem please come and have a word. If you are in receipt of Winter Fuel Allowance but don't really need it perhaps you would like to donate it or part of it to a charity which looks after people who do need it. Surviving Winter in Hadleigh has been operating for two years now and has already helped dozens of people who were having difficulty affording fuel or generally keeping warm. We have distributed coal, blankets, clothing, heaters to people, who, through no fault of their own found it difficult or expensive to keep warm throughout winter. Fred Breyer, fredbreyer12@gmail.com
Treatment for Back Pain at Hadleigh Osteopaths Four out of five people will experience some form of back pain during their lives. This may be a simple injury in childhood or a developmental problem such as scoliosis, or may be the result of a work related or sports injury. As we grow older, degenerative conditions may present as back pain. Back pain can be brought on by lifting, moving awkwardly or by an accident. Sometimes it can come on without any specific injury to your back. Stress, depression, posture, being overweight, sedentary living and poor lifestyle habits can all be significant factors. Whilst pain killing medication can help, experts all agree that gentle activity and manual therapy such as osteopathy are the most successful way of helping people deal with it. After taking a full medical history and completing a thorough examination, our osteopaths will diagnose the cause of the back pain and propose a course of treatment. This may include stretching, massage and gentle manipulation of the joints. People can feel a range of symptoms such as stiffness, tenderness and mild to very severe pain. The pain can come on quite suddenly or over time, and be located anywhere in the spine from the top of the neck to the pelvis. Sometimes pressure from the back on the nerves can cause pain or pins and needles and numbness in the legs and arms. X-rays, scans and other tests are sometimes required to make a diagnosis. If osteopathy treatment cannot completely heal or discover the cause of the back pain, your osteopath may refer to your GP or a specialist for any additional investigation. Osteopaths are well known for treating back pain and patients report high satisfaction with treatment. There is good quality evidence supporting the beneficial effects of manipulation for back pain and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE)recommends osteopathy for sub-acute and chronic low back pain Treatment is different in every individual and sometimes it might involve treating other areas in the body such as the hips or neck We may offer advice on your lifestyle particularly if we feel something you are doing repetitively is part of the reason why you have back pain. We may offer advice on your posture and give advice on diet and exercise or give you specific exercises. For further information please contact the practice or visit our website Hadleigh Osteopaths, Hadleigh Pool and Leisure, Stonehouse Road, Hadleigh.

Whilst it is tempting to put the bike in the shed, it can be fun and exhilarating to ride over the winter. HCC cyclists will be out and about weather permitting. Here are a few handy tips: 1 Make sure you’ve got a decent windproof jacket and gloves. 2 Check the weather forecast, you may not need waterproofs. 3 You’ll need a set of lights if you’re out after 4pm. Don’t buy the cheapest. 4 Mudguards are handy if you’re riding in a group or off road. 5 There are tyres which are virtually puncture-proof and they are definitely worth the investment. 6 Get your bike serviced. The Club has been supported by Sunny Day Cycleworks and The Pedal House and we would recommend them. Finally, protect yourself at all times. Riders are invited to gentle social rides starting at 9am from The George on Sundays, weather permitting. Adults and “capable children accompanied by an adult” are all welcome. The distance is around 25 miles. Check out our Facebook page. For more information on the Club visit www.hadleighcyclingclub.co.uk or connect with the club via Facebook: Hadleigh Cycling Club @HadleighCycling

Taurus The Bull Sun 5th, Rise 06.59, Set 16.20; 10th Rise 07.08, Set 16.12; 15th, Rise 07.17, Set 16.05; 30th, Rise 07.41, Set 15.49. Moon Full 4th, New 18th. Venus Is visible in the early morning sky and appears close to the planet Jupiter on November 13th. They will appear very close together in the predawn sky. Mars Is moving through the constellation of Virgo in the morning sky and its blood-red colour gives it away easily. The Moon will be close to the planet on November 15th. Taurus The Bull The constellation Taurus is high in the evening sky and is one of the more interesting Zodiac constellations. The brightest star of the sign is Aldebaran, a stunning orange giant star that is located 65 light years from the Sun and is the fourteenth brightest star in the entire sky. It is some 44 times the size of our star and 518 times more luminous. The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, star cluster lies at the head of the constellation. This is a truly stunning collection of sibling stars that will out stand you in a small pair of binoculars and the view through a small telescope will take your breath away. These blue stars are incredibly hot with surface temperatures of 20,000 degrees or so ( Our Sun is only 5,500 degrees). They are also very young in cosmic terms at 'just' 100 million years old. Next I would like you to notice the distinct V shape of stars surrounding Aldebaran, this is the Hyades star cluster. These stars, unlike the Pleiades, are more spread out and you will notice the different colour. This is because these stars are 625 million years old and burning much like our Sun. They lie at a distance of 153 light years away and they have a combined mass of 400 Suns. At the western end of the constellation lies the object known officially as M1 and more commonly known as The Crab Nebula. M1 is in actual fact a supernova remnant ( the remains of a star that exploded in 1054 ). It is located at a distance of 6,500 light years and is also the site of the last supernova to explode within the Milky Way. An exciting constellation and now with Winter around the corner, it will get better.

Atishoo! I wonder what’s making me sneeze, could be most of the recent arrivals who have feathers rather than fur! The casualties include five pigeons, another owl, a jay and a partridge. All these would birds would tease Ollie (the Black) Cat dreadfully but he is also on the sick list after suffering a nasty abcess. Don’t worry, he’s on the mend and will soon be trying to take my place as your SESAW correspondent again. Meanwhile he has asked me to tell you about the cats and kittens still with us. Poor little Peabody is back since his “happy ending” didn’t work out. As top dog around here I don’t have a great affinity with cats but can’t help feeling sorry for him, especially as so many humans overlook us black animals. I would also love to see two year old Domino, Sooty and Sweep rehomed. They are three feral cats in need of a farm with a cosy barn and a kind person to keep an eye on them. Thank you to all who attended our £1 Sale at the Ansell Centre which raised £301 last month. Our last event of the year is our Christmas Fair at the Old School, Long Melford, CO10 9DX on 19th November. Lots of festive goodies on offer, great prizes in the big raffle and Mary’s top class Tombola, refreshments and free parking. Please remember to keep your animals safe from the sight and sounds during Guy Fawkes season. A warm bed or snuggly blanket next to the Rayburn is the best place for all pets including me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Sudbury Memory Walk Success The 2017 Sudbury Memory Walk was a huge success. With 253 walkers took to the beautiful Stour Valley Trail to Unite Against Dementia. Walking in memory of those that we love. The weather was kind and the rain held off and while some were blown along the route the sun peeped through to keep spirits high. The huge crowd were warmed up by Josie from Dance East and were entertained on their return by the hugely talent Gabby Rivers and young talent from Sudbury who we are sure will be one to watch for the future. With over 30 volunteers, making the day possible walkers enjoyed stepping back in time with the world war two memorabilia and reenactors. Tea and cake were plentiful, supplied by the East of England Coop, Care UK and the Bridge project. Huge thanks goes out to Jerry our community volunteer who’s mum Kate was the inspiration for the Sudbury Memory Walk. Jerry did an amazing job engaging with local businesses and support groups to create fantastic goody bags for all that walked that included some wonderful Koning’s apple juice and Weston Bakery flapjacks along with lots of useful information. Jerry says “I was delighted to see so many people had joined us to walk this year. We had 100 more than year one and we have now agreed this will become an annual event so look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday 6th October 2018” #thememorywalkman Cllr Margaret Maybury, Babergh District Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities said, “I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the Memory Walk and all those people who helped to make it happen. There was a wonderful buzz of excitement and friendship around the whole event and I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the businesses and companies who supported the walk in any way at all. It was a fantastic way to help raise awareness of this devastating disease and I am already looking forward to taking part again next year.” One of the walkers Diana Stone (83 years young) said “ the reason I took part in Sudbury Memory Walk was multi-faceted; I love walking, I support several charities , I enjoy the company as I am quite new to Sudbury ,overall it was a lovely day and I will definitely be taking part next year !” A big thank you to everyone who made donations on the day. Our street collection totalled £843.50. It is not too late to donate. You can visit out crowdfunding page at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sudburymemory-walk this will stay open until 30th November 2017. Alternatively you can pay your sponsorship money into your nearest Barclays Bank (details can be found on your sponsorship forms) If you are a local business or individual looking to support Sudbury to become a dementia friendly town please email us now and we will put you in touch with other like-minded people. hadleighdementiafriends@ssleisure.co.uk

Newton take Woodbridge to penultimate hole before surrending Cranworth Final A narrow, but deserved, 5-4 win saw Woodbridge hold off Newton Green from recording a hat-trick of final wins against them in the Suffolk Cranworth Trophy at Diss. Newton won the morning foursomes 2-1, but Woodbridge came back strongly, with victory in the last singles match on the course seeing them home on the 17th hole. Woodbridge had twice been beaten by the same opponents in finals in the last decade. They overcame a blow when they had to concede one of the three morning foursomes. Susie Whymark took a tumble on the eighth, which resulted in her suffering a fractured hand and being taken to hospital. At the time, the Newton due of Sue Cooper and Adrienne Hughes were holding a three-up lead against Whymark and partner Jill Scott Nicholls, and Woodbridge had to concede. However, as a result of a new ruling this year, they were able to stay on course with a full turn out in the afternoon singles. The competition now allows clubs to field six from a squad of eight to take account of such an eventuality. In the other foursomes, Pam MacBride and Sheila Burgess won one up against Janet Sparks and Vivien Lister, while Liz Piercy and Anne Truman were defeated 2 & 1 by Newton’s Rosie Jackson and Gwyneth Ferreira. Despite losing the opening singles match in the afternoon, the Woodbridge middle order performed strongly. With the match poised on 4 -4, captain Pam McBride needed a half from one of the last two holes against Tibby Mimpriss to ensure a Woodbridge win. This she duly achieved victory with a win on the 17th as the Newton player conceded before reaching the green. The trophy was presented to MacBride by Suffolk Ladies president Hermione Scrope. Foursomes: Pam MacBride and Sheila Burgess won one up to Janet Sparks and Viviene Lister, Jill Scott Nichols and Susie Whymark conceded to Sue Cooper and Adrienne Hughes 14 down, Liz Piercy and Anne Truman lost 2 & 1 to Rosie Jackson and Gwyneth Ferreira. Singles: Burgess lost 2 & 3 to Cooper, Nichols won 4 & 2 to Jackson, Anette Llewllyn won 3 & 1 to Sparks, Kate Symonds won 3 & 1 to Carol Durston, McBride won 3 & 1 to Tibby Mimpriss, Piercy lost 5 & 3 to Ferreira.

World Class Performance for Hadleigh Swimmer Elliot Gladwell, a long-time member of Hadleigh Swimming Club has every reason to be happy with his recent performances in the Biathle-Triathle World Championships held in Viveiro, northern Spain. Elliot (pictured with one of his medals) was selected to represent Great Britain following his convincing win in the selection competition held at Salford Quays in July. Biathle events are a sub-sport of the modern pentathlon and consist of a continuous run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; swim â&#x20AC;&#x201C;run, which in Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case was 400m â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 50m â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 400m. He came home following 5 days in Spain with 3 gold medals in the U13 age category â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Individual, Team and Mixed Relay. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all very proud of you, Elliot.

Ladies European Tour event at Stoke by Nayland ends with an exciting playoff – and begins with a celebrity Pro Am team win! Lydia Hall completed a wire to wire victory in the WPGA International Challenge at Stoke by Nayland but there were a few unplanned diversions en route. Not least the sudden-death play-off with France’s Ines Escudier following a two shot swing on the par three final hole on the Gainsborough course at the Suffolk resort. Escudier, who began the day four shots behind Hall, birdied it for a six-under par round of 66 and complete the tournament’s 54-holes in nine-under. Hall, by contrast, bogeyed it. Back up the 18th tee the pair went but it was the 29-year-old PGA Assistant from Wales who appeared least fazed by the drama and ended up winning the 5,000 euro first prize. Lydia Hall, winner of the “The win was down to my putting again,” said Stoke by Nayland WPGA Hall, who recently spent time in Abu Dhabi and LETAS championship concentrating on honing that side of her game and making a couple of changes. “I’m playing a lot better now that I’ve sorted it out. I must say, though, the tense finish wasn’t in my plans. Ines made me work hard for my win – so did the three girls immediately behind us.” That trio comprising Scotland’s Michele Thomson, Emma Nilsson of Sweden, and Spain’s Luna Sobron finished two shots behind Hall and Escudier on sevenunder to win €1650 apiece. As in previous years, a popular Pro Am preceded the 3 day championship and finished with a gala dinner and prize giving. The event this year was won by the celebrity “Media team” with a score of 85. The team included BBC TV Look East presenters, Stewart White and Tom Williams, Tamara Unwin, one of the family owners at Stoke by Nayland, and their professional, Meghan MacLaren who is leading the LETAS rankings and is assured a place in the Winning Pro Am Team: l to r Stewart main tour next season. White, Tamara Unwin, Meghan MacLaren Anyone wishing to play in the and Tom Williams. Pro Am next year may like to put a “save the date” note in their diaries for Wednesday 12th September 2018!
