Hadleigh boys do well in Great East Swim we are so very proud of them all for swimming and for raising an incredible £700 for the Alison Fracella Research Trust. Roy is a Trustee of this local charity, reg no 1109426, which was set up in 2005. All monies raised from the swim will go towards the research project into brain cancer that the Trust is currently funding at the Royal Marsden Hospital in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Research. The website www.afrt.org.uk offers extensive information and support for sufferers and their families. Our very grateful thanks go to Roy, Kern, Truan and Tom for such an amazing achievement and to everyone who sponsored their swim. Thankyou all so very much.
THE ORANGERIE
Many congratulations go to Hadleigh boys Roy Death his two sons Kern and Truan and to Tom Olive who successfully completed a gruelling two mile swim in the Great East Swim at Alton Water on June 11th in memory of a beautiful friend Alison Fracella (nee Kettlewell). Cheered on by family and friends they all swam in record times, in fact Roy came 1st in his age group - some feat!! It was a really great day and

As Mill Pharmacy has been open for over 18 months I am sure most of you are aware of all the services we offer: extended opening hours, disabled parking, pharmacist on duty at all times, a pharmacy shop stocking a range of commonly requested medicines, a special order service to cater for our individual customer’s needs, free delivery of your medicines if required as well as medication dispensed in dosset boxes if necessary. However, there are THREE things I want to draw your particular attention to this month that you really need to know about us. Firstly, all our pharmacists have undertaken a special training course and are able to sell anti-malarials to you which were previously only available on a private prescription. To access this service you DO NOT NEED to make an appointment. Just come along to the pharmacy and ask to speak to one of our pharmacists. In addition the pharmacists will also be able to give you advice on any vaccines you may need or the type of over the counter medicines you need to take with you on your travels. We also stock a range of sun protection products, insect repellents and emergency travel packs. Secondly, we have several members of staff trained to help you give up smoking on the NHS. This means that if you do not normally pay for your prescriptions or you have a prepayment certificate we can provide you with nicotine replacement products and give you help and support to give up smoking and IT WILL COST YOU NOTHING. Even if you pay for your prescriptions you only need to pay one prescription charge for a month’s supply of say nicotine patches or gum. This relates to just a little bit more than the price one packet of cigarettes and how many of those do you buy a month. Just think what you could do with the money you save from not smoking......... Thirdly, have you ever felt confused about the medicines you take? Do you wonder why you are on them or whether some of them are causing you problems but you don’t do anything about it as you do not want to waste your doctor’s time? Well, then you need to come and speak to our pharmacists who will be more than happy to go through your medicines with you and discuss any problems you may have with them. You DO NOT NEED to make an appointment to do this. Just come to the pharmacy and ask to speak to the pharmacist. Even if none of the above is of interest to you why not come and tell us what you would like us to do. We are always looking for new ways to provide a better service.

New folk musicians in Hadleigh Simon and Val Haines moved to Hadleigh from Colchester in December last year and we love our new life here. You may have seen us loading our camper van in Church Street with musical instruments and PA equipment. This is because we are in a number of folk music groups - three to be precise. Crownstreet is a four-piece group which plays traditional and newly composed folk songs and instrumental music for concerts at festivals, in clubs, for parties and other private or public functions. Between the four of us, we play a total of thirteen acoustic instruments - which include: accordeon, bandoneon, flute, recorder, saxophone, whistle, dulcimer, desk bells, musical saw, guitar, cittern and xylophone and vocals. You can hear Crownstreet at: www.myspace.com/crownstreetband The Hosepipe Band - a four-piece band which plays for barn dances, ceilidhs, country dances - call them what you will - mainly in East Anglia, but also sometimes further afield. Our line-up is: melodeon, flute, recorder, hammered dulcimer, saxophone, bass guitar and mandola. We always take a caller with us to explain the dances. You can hear The Hosepipe Band at: www.myspace.com/thehosepipeband Bof! - four-piece group which plays French and Breton traditional music for dances and concerts. With this group we play all over the country and occasionally even play for enthusiasts in France. We are part of "Burybal", a group which puts on French dances at the Blackbourne Centre, Elmswell near Bury St Edmunds three times a year. We also put on French dance workshops where French and Breton dances are taught. Our line-up is: hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, diatonic accordeon, guitar and vocals. You can hear Bof! at: www.myspace.com/bofanost. We have made CD recordings with all three bands. We have also started regular folk music sessions at The Ram in Market Place, Hadleigh. At the moment it is once a month on a Sunday evening. We have been getting 10-15 musicians with their instruments and voices. Anyone who plays any kind of folk music is welcome to come along and sing or play at these evenings. Or just come along and listen. If you are interested in finding out more about any of our musical activities, we can be contacted on 01473 828745 or 07818 417780 or email aqwc71@dsl.pipex.com. From September, we will be starting a monthly Folk and Acoustic Music night. This will be held on the first Friday of the month at the Ansell Community Centre. Evenings will run from 8.00-10.45 and include floor spots, a support act and a main guest. The first night will be Friday September 2. Look out for further details. Simon and Val Haines

News from St Mary’s Primary School Summer Fete 9th July On Saturday 9th July, St Mary’s school will be hosting their annual Summer Fete starting at Midday until 3pm. There will be lots to see and do including, Bouncy castle, Tug of War, Balloon modelling, Tombola, Cake stall, Lucky dip, Punch and Judy, BBQ, Refreshments, Grand Raffle and lots more. Entry is free, so come along for a fun and entertaining afternoon. All welcome! We have been delighted to welcome Emily Scrivener to St Mary’s for two days of workshops with children throughout the school. Emily is a member of the British paralympic basketball squad and works with the charity ‘Just Different’. The children learned all about how all people are different and how we can include everybody. To raise money for the charity, we had a ‘Dress Different’ day, which raised £100. The children had lots of fun and were inspired by working with Emily! Thanks to the Parent Support Group for organising our Mini-Marathon. The children raced around the field, showing lots of energy and determination. In total, the children raised over £500 from their generous sponsors! Well done to everyone who took part. Elm class enjoyed learning about money in the real world recently. Thanks to the staff from the Ipswich Building Society for coming in and working with the children on their exciting ‘money day’. We’re all going to spend our pocket money wisely from now on! Also, Elm class were joined by Oak class for a walk around the local area. They have been studying different buildings and houses and this was an opportunity for children to contrast and compare old and new houses. They were really interested in the beams they found on old properties! There have been lots of sporting events recently. Our athletics team performed brilliantly at the recent athletics tournament hosted by Hadleigh High School. Our Year 5 children won and overall we came second. The children were really proud of their achievements. Also, our tennis team won the pyramid tennis tournament in some style and have progressed to the Westbourne Sports Partnership finals. It was difficult playing tennis in such windy conditions! The cricket team had a great time at the festival and they encouraged one another well, showing good team spirit. Finally, two of our gifted dancers enjoyed participating in a workshop organised by Hintlesham Primary, where they learned and performed a new routine. Congratulations to all the children whose art work was displayed at Hadleigh Show. The children from Willow class won 1st prize for their beautiful paintings of flowers and the children from Rowan received a second prize for the nests they made. We have received such a lot of compliments for their work and we’re really proud! We had our own stall opposite the wonderful birds of prey, at which we sold homemade lemonade and cakes. It was lovely to meet lots of members of the community. Thank you to all the staff members and parents who helped to set up and run the stall throughout the day.

My late father Paul Gibbons with Tilly I mentioned to you all in my column for June the great shock that we had suffered when discovering that my father had secondary cancer in his liver. It was a very upsetting period for all of us when we saw my father being ravaged by the disease. In a little over a month he descended from a healthy looking man to skin and bone being unable to see or speak and jaundice too. It is with the greatest sadness that I have to tell you that Dad died on Monday, 13 June. My mother and I were with my father at the end and after such a dreadful illness he slipped away peacefully. As I pen these words, I am preparing for my father’s funeral at Polstead Church on 27 June. I previously alluded to the less than perfect manner in which we were treated by Ipswich Hospital. On 26 May our experiences were confirmed in National news reports painting Ipswich Hospital in a poor light. I told BBC Look East our story and many of you will have seen my mother and I on the local news bulletins during the afternoon and evening on 27 May. From such a sad episode there can be bright things to report. My mother and I have been humbled by the support given to us by our friends, clients and you my readers. The Reverend Jackie Sephton of St Mary’s Polstead and long time resident of Hadleigh was such a pillar of strength to my father and to us. I wish Jackie well following her ordination as a Priest at the Cathedral at Bury St Edmunds on 25 June; she is nothing short of a “super Vicar”. The kindness and care given to my father and to us at St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich was beyond measure. Should you ever wish to make a charitable donation then I know that St Elizabeth Hospice will use it wisely and to maximum effect. I was struck that whilst the Hospice handled such sad matters, everyone had a smile. There was a lovely garden where the centre-piece is a glorious fish pool. Relatives were provided with wonderful lunches at reasonable cost. I unreservedly thank St Elizabeth Hospice for all that they did to make Dad’s final days comfortable. Despite trials and tribulations, the business of the provision of legal services continues. There is just about time to acquire that new house and have it conveyed before Schools return in September. To us, all our clients are “ours” and deserving of that personal attention which can be achieved at a local firm of Solicitors. Howard Gibbons

Hands Off Hadleigh Tesco choice of site wrong for so many reasons On 6th July Babergh Planning Development Committee will meet at Hadleigh Town Hall to decide upon the controversial Tesco application to build a 2,500 sqm class A1 retail unit on the banks of the River Brett, along with a second class A1/A3 unit of 142 sqm and a two-storey building to replace Bridge House. The application includes associated access, servicing, landscaping, relocation of part of the Council’s own car park and neighbouring allotments, removal of trees and hedgerows. The plan to build a Tesco on the River Walk has received sustained and widespread opposition amongst local residents in Hadleigh and neighbouring villages. Hundreds of participants from the local community have repeatedly turned out for a series of events over the last 12 years to highlight concern about the choice of site, increased traffic, safety issues and access on a bend on a listed bridge. Based on Tesco’s own figures, there will be a peak of nearly 400 car movements an hour along with HGV deliveries by 40-ton lorries. This level of traffic is likely to be greater than this will have a major impact on a rural, historic market town with a listed High Street where roads in and out are effectively single lane, including Gallows Hill, Benton, Angel and Calais Street, The participants in Hands Off Hadleigh events represent a wide cross section of the community from pensioners to working mums, allotment holders and existing retailers who are very concerned about the increased traffic, as well as the vitality and viability of the town’s historic High Street. Tesco’s state that the new store will create 200 jobs, but two surveys undertaken by the Hadleigh Society have determined that over 200 jobs and livelihoods could be at stake, not including shop owners, local suppliers, producers and other support services. Over 72% of the town’s residents voted against a store on the River Brett site in a referendum in 1999. Two subsequent referenda, including one undertaken by Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, concurred with this, with over 75% against the choice of site. The members of the Town Council, who represent the local community, have voted twelve to one against the application. “We hope that Babergh Planning Development Committee will make the right decision and take the concerns of Hadleigh residents into consideration”. Jan Byrne Chair of Hadleigh Society said. “Hands off Hadleigh supporters are not a small minority. We have local knowledge about the day-to-day running of the town and traffic flow in Hadleigh. A traffic survey undertaken in 2009, replicating the expected number of car movements to and from the proposed site brought the High Street to a stand-still within 15 minutes”. “How can we possibly have confidence in Tesco that is so driven by profit”. Jan Byrne continued. “The company has already been and gone from Hadleigh when it suited them. The part of the Brett Works site owned by Tesco for many years, has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that any proposal could be presented as an amenity improvement. The site is wrong, no matter how Tesco try to position the level of support otherwise through their in-house marketing team and pr consultants”. The application to build a supermarket (not Tesco) on the Brett Works site was first turned down over 23 years ago in 1987 on environmental grounds. There was a Tesco in Hadleigh then, but not on this site. The site remains in exactly the same location and local residents are concerned that the environmental impact will be just as damaging, if not, worse due to increase in traffic over the last 20 years. Many question the reasons why Tesco have been allowed to keep changing the plans, when the site is so wrong for so many reasons. Not just increased traffic, but the impact on existing independent retailers, the impinging conservation area, the nearby nature reserve, the local wildlife, the neighbouring allotments, yet alone the flood risks.

Wills on Wheels Two years ago Trevor Dodwell, a retired solicitor, decided to set up a will writing service from his home in Polstead. The brief was to enable local people to make their wills at an affordable price, with the help of friendly home visits, and at times to suit them. With 65% of us still needing to make a will it was clear that there should be a demand for the service. Trevor’s plan when setting up The Will Business was to work within a close range of 10 miles from his home and provide a professional service for people living in that area. This includes Hadleigh and the local villages but Colchester and Sudbury are outside the range. This allows costs to be kept to a minimum – his journey times are short and travel costs are minimal, rarely involving even a parking charge. Trevor happens to be a keen cyclist, and the area is within his normal cycle range, which often leads to comments from new clients when he turns up on the bike. For example, Benton Street in Hadleigh, full of double yellow lines, is undaunting to the cyclist if he can park in your hall. He also drives to appointments, and meets clients at his home if the clients prefer this. The service recognises that, in the case of many young couples, both are working and it can be difficult and costly for them to take time off for a meeting at a solicitor’s office during the working day. For this reason, most of Trevor’s client meetings are arranged for early evening, after normal office hours – often when the couple’s young children have been put to bed. There’s a common sense, practical approach, which covers wills, powers of attorney and ancillary issues like protecting the family home from sale to pay care home expenses, based on many years of experience. The service is available to local clients, whether they are old or young, wealthy or not, and the cost is typically less than half of the fee payable to solicitors in town offices.

Beaumont School Report July 2011 Sport is all about the taking part, but sometimes it’s great when you do well! Our recent gymnastics team’s performance was certainly an example of this. Having done sufficiently well in the local schools competition, two of our teams were invited to attend the regional finals at Pipers Vale in Ipswich. Although we didn’t quiet scrape a win, we did manage a 3rd and 5th place, which is fantastic considering we are a relatively small school. Gymnastics has a high profile at Beaumont with Miss Cocks running an after school gymnastics club two days a week, and also using her expertise to coach our school teams. Not only did the teams do well they also conducted themselves exceptionally well during the competition. Well done to all involved! We try as a school to support local events as much as we can, the Hadleigh Show being one of these events. The school’s tent was as popular as ever with the visitors to the show. The school displayed various pieces of work inspired by the children’s studies of various habitats and the work they do in our school garden. Some children also wrote poems about the Hadleigh show. The work was all of a high standard, but unfortunately we didn’t come away with any awards. Better luck next year! We feel extremely proud of some of the children’s achievements outside of school. Two of our Year 6 pupils Jasmin Alexander and Phoebe Turner recently raised over £300.00 for charity by undertaking a 24 hour sponsored silence. The charity they were supporting was AYME which supports young people suffering from ME, a charity close to Jasmin’s heart as her sister has suffered with the illness for many years. The two girls, who wrote in books to communicate during the silence, did brilliantly keeping quiet for this length of time! This certainly isn’t the first time the girls have been involved in fund raising having been awarded before for their efforts. As part of their work on the Romans our Pandas and Rhinos classes recently visited Colchester Castle. All the children had a great time at the museum, learning a great deal from the practical activities and displays. Below is a report from one of the children about their visit... Our visit to Colchester Castle by George On Friday the 10th of June the Rhinos and Pandas went to Colchester Castle. We went on a coach and several times I nearly fell asleep. After what seemed like a decade we finally arrived at the castle. We each got an activity sheet to fill in. It was hard to finish but it was fun all the same. First we looked at the well and the museum worker Steve gave us a story tour about the Romans and Celts battle at Camulodonium. We then wandered around the museum looking at the exhibits and doing activities along the way. I discovered what an antefix was used for (to cover the ends of roofing tiles in a decorative way). Apparently after Claudius died they built a temple in his honour where Colchester Castle is now. The temple was burnt down by Boudicca, the Iceni tribe and the Trinivantes after the Romans started attacking the Iceni people. We also learnt what foods they had in roman times and we got to smell what it would smell like in roman times! If I could rate the museum I would give it an 11/10 because it was absolutely fantastic. It was my favourite school trip by far.

Diamond-Lites Majorettes The children have been training hard all winter ready for the start of the season. They had their first performance of the year at the Nedging with Naughton Fete, where the new section Diamond-Sparx performed for the first time. It was also the first performance for some of our older girls, all did really well. The committee and majorettes would like to say thank you to The Cock Inn, The George, The Ram, The Layham Queen, The Kersey Bell, The White Hart and all their customers who supported our Easter Egg Raffle in April. We also held our Annual Competition at Elmsett Village Hall in May. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the Diamond-Lites girls, boys, mums and dads who came along on the day to help, we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you also to Keith Avis, Andrews Butchers, The Hair Lounge, Adnams and Partridges who kindly donated prizes for our raffle. At the beginning of June the troupe held a solo and duo competition for all the children and adults to enter, in preparation for the solo and duo competitions they will be entering throughout the season. All the children did really well. We also had some amazing performances from the adults and a surprise performance from Jessie and Mr Potato head! Well done guys it was a great day. Lastly, but most amazingly, WELL DONE to all the girls who entered their first competition at Brantham and WOW what results, the best the troupe has ever done! Competing against eight really good troupes the girls managed to win Four 1st place trophies, four 2nd place trophies and two 3rd place trophies. The girls also did great individually with the girls who entered solo batons and poms winning two first place medals and a 3rd place medal. The mascots of the day between them won four 1st place medals, four 2nd place medals and a 3rd place medal and the Leaders won three 1st place trophies for overall leaders of the day in their sections. GO DIAMOND-LITES !!! At the moment our tiny, juvenile, junior and senior sections are full but we will be recruiting again at the end of September. However there are spaces in our Sparx section. If you have children aged 3 to 6 years old who would like to learn the art of baton and flag twirling and pom pom, while having fun and making friends call Liz on 07738 571307.

It’s along the Railway walk! Plants that are best left alone Although there are several garden versions of many of this group, these two are extremely dangerous to humans. Even a small dose of the chemistry they contain will make you ill. Touching them can cause problems with your skin and if you were to eat even a small part of the plant you will need immediate medical help. Fortunately – although both have attractive flowers - neither of them produces any fruits that look appealing to children, so they are reasonably safe. What are these plants? Foxgloves (digitalis purpurea) These are very pretty flowers that grow mainly in woodland clearings. It is one of those plants that will colonise almost any area of freshly exposed soil (a ruderal). In the UK we actually admire it for its brightly coloured blue/purple and occasionally white flowers, but in some U.S. States is considered to be a “Dangerous Invasive Weed”. The flower look like upturned thimbles and are very interesting – they’re purposedesigned to be pollinated by Bumble Bees Scientists believe that “bumbles” eyes are most sensitive to blue/purple and that the insect will follow any interruptive patterns in the coloured surface. If this is the case the bees can “see” where to go to get to the nectar. The lower lip of the flower forms a small “landing – platform”, and inside there are a series of spots designed to guide the bees to the nectaries at the top, where they get “dabbed” with pollen. Smaller insects (Ants) are deterred from “raiding” this nectar source by a carpet of fine hairs inside the floor of the flower. They are unable to struggle uphill through this forest, but the “bumbles” are large enough to simply walk over them. Quite ingenious that! The plant – particularly the leaves - contains a chemical that is the basis of a heart stimulant known as “Digitoxin”, but there is a problem. There is no individual, specific dosage, and many died from overdoses administered by the early Alchemists as result. So – leave the plant alone! Monks-hood or “Wolf Bane” (Aconitum napellus) Although it looks totally different to Buttercups (as you can see in Photo 2) this plant is of the same family (Ranunculacea). It is grown commercially for medicinal uses in parts of Europe and the Far East, but many countries are so concerned about its toxicity that special licences are needed. Fortunately it will only grow in very specific conditions (high moisture and low light) and finding it growing wild locally is unusual. The root system is interesting. Although a perennial, individual plants only lasts one year. Each season the roots produce not only the foliage you see, but also small “daughter” crowns. At the end of the growing season the old root dies, leaving these “daughters” to continue the next generation. This plant is dangerous because the sap contains a toxic alkaloid (aconitine) which can be absorbed by humans either directly through the skin, into cuts and abrasions, or by ingestion. In the past infusions of all parts of the plant have been used to poison both people and animals. Legend says the Roman Emperor Claudius 1st came to an untimely end when his Physician administered some, and it has been used to poison water sources in times of conflict It gets it lesser name (“Wolf” or “DogsBane”) from another historic use. Our ancestors, who were frequently troubled by Wolves, found that the animals were unable to taste the infusion made from the plant. Stories say that where the animals became problem bait was coated with it, the Wolves then ate the bait and died as a result (Wolves are scavengers). It was also said to ward off the “Werewolves”. So – if you do find it, leave it alone! Mick T
Willows Kitchens - A potted history We began installing kitchens in the early 1980s working for the major kitchen retailers of the time. By the mid 1990s we were responsible for eight teams of fitters working in the Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds area. In 1999 we decided to set up our own kitchen studio in one of the concession areas of the Buyright store. In 2010 the business moved to The Old Bakery, behind Greggs the bakers in Hadleigh High Street. New kitchen displays are currently being installed and you are invited to come along and take a look. Specialising in Crown Imperial and Crown Lifestyle kitchens, there is everything from plain white doors to wood effect and solid wood. Crown also has painted wood doors and gloss finish doors in a comprehensive range of colours. All ranges come with sturdy 18mm carcasses. Solid wood, Encore, and laminate worktops are available as are glass splashbacks, again with a comprehensive choice of colours. Carron Pheonix and Astracast sinks and taps and many well-known brands of appliances complete the package. We offer a free planning service, which involves a visit to your home to take measurements and discuss your requirements. The actual planning is done away from your property and computer generated plans and pictures, along with individual prices are sent to you in the post. It is then up to you to contact us if you are happy with what you see. We always use the same fitter who has worked with us since 2001, to ensure the quality of the installation. Gas, electrical and other complementary work can also be included if required. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hadleigh Town Council congratulates Hadleigh Cricket Club Hadleigh Town Council would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Hadleigh Cricket Club on their ongoing success especially during their Bicentenary year in 2010. The Cricket Club has been successful in obtaining funding to provide a new practice net facility and it’s official opening will be celebrated in July with various VIP’s having been invited to attend. The Club gained Clubmark status at the end of last season which has given them an incredible amount of confidence, focus and ambition. They work with all members of the society especially with encouraging young people to become involved with the sport and the Club.
High Flyers A small group of apprehensive Fidelis ladies met at the gates of Rattlesden Gliding Club not quite knowing what to expect of their date with a glider. Happily, their anxiety was short lived. After a brief introduction to the inner workings of this engineless craft and a reassuring parachute they were ready to experience the thrill of becoming airborne. Sitting in front of an experienced glider each member made a smooth but rapid ascent towards the clouds with the aid of a tow rope. This plunged to the ground once the glider was aloft. The views from the cockpit were awe inspiring as the glider circled silently overhead. Surprisingly, given the absence of engine power, all landings were effortless and accurate. Safety is paramount at the club and an enthusiastic, experienced team of volunteers manned all stations to ensure that the ladies were not only safe but also enjoying their first gliding experience. The special arrangement, which included two exhilarating lifts and three months’ temporary membership of the RGC, may tempt some Fidelis members to return for more of the same. RGClub 01449 737789 Fidelis Sec B.Tryon 01473 824417 Soon after the dizzy heights of gliding the Fidelis Lunch Bunchers visited Shelley’s restaurant at Suffolk New College, Ipswich. As a ‘show’ restaurant for final year students on the catering and hospitality course it has its own band of high achievers. Diners are served by aspiring waiters and waitresses the culinary creations from would-be chefs toiling away in the kitchen. Their aim is to satisfy their public and the exam board. An interesting and thoroughly enjoyable lunch for a modest price. Jan D

Solvejg Mills, UK agent for the well-known Danish embroidery firm Haandarbejdets Fremme (known over here as Danish Handcraft Guild), only moved into Monks Eleigh with her husband just over a year ago, but is delighted to be living in this beautiful area of Suffolk. The wonderful landscape around Hadleigh with its gentle undulations and wide skies reminds her of the very prettiest parts of her native Denmark. It also tickles her to think that there were Danes here long ago, that the Bildr of Bildeston, the Ketilbjorn of Kettlebaston and the Nagli of Naughton were Danes (well OK, Vikings, but she is convinced very nice ones who settled down to become good farmers and who probably married English women!). Solvejg sells a wonderful and varied range of cross stitch kits from the Danish Handcraft Guild collection (there are some 700 to choose from), as well as books of cross stitch designs, threads (the famous Danish flower thread in 100+ colours), and pure linen cloth. She would love to hear from anyone interested in cross stitch embroidery, even if it’s only for a chat. Telephone 01449 744918 www.danish-handcraft-guild-uk.com

Sea Scouts Ahoy! Hadleigh Sea Scouts’ reputation as thriving and exciting group was very much to the fore at the Hadleigh Duck and Raft Race: 16 teams thrashed down the River Brett on logs, lashings and blue barrels – under-fire from dozens of water-pistols from the crowd of 200 plus cheering their heroes on. Many thanks to all those buying a Plastic Duck - your support is invaluable, if you didn’t win, better luck next year! We continued our very traditional support of the Hadleigh Show – helping the Agricultural Association sell out of programmes and offering much needed liquid refreshment, cakes and burgers to the multitudes – if they gave out rosettes for tea, we’d have got best in show given the very positive feedback from our tea-drinkers! Our Explorers have been parking hundreds of cars at the VW Show at the Stonham Barns as part of our Scouting in the Community. All of this on top of our regular activities of hiking, archery, air-rifle, camping, sailing, kayaking, and swimming for all our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. We’re working hard on a major show – Biggles Scouts About – for October (a kind of Bugsy Malone for the RAF!): if you are young and want to perform contact Jonathan on 07 545 545 744 – if your grown up and would like to help – ring the same number! Footnote: the Scout Headquarters Hall in Hadleigh and our Marquees are available to all to hire at extremely reasonable prices. If you would like to become involved in any way and for any further information regarding Hadleigh Sea Scout Group please visit our website at www.hadleighseascouts.org.uk.

Local Solicitors Seminar Catches Public Attention A forward planning seminar presented by Gotelee Solicitors proved to be a popular draw for the people of Hadleigh and the surrounding district. Held at the Old Town Hall in Hadleigh on 18th May, the seminar covered topics such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, Care fees, Trusts and Inheritance Tax. Entry was free and around 50 people took the opportunity to hear an authoritative update on recent changes in the law in these important areas. Speakers Peter Crix, Tanya Thomas and Emma Woollard (pictured), all partners with Gotelee, gave talks that offered clear, practical advice cutting through the legal jargon. The event was well received and clearly resonated with the audience who were keen to raise questions both during the Q&A session and afterwards. As Peter Crix commented: “The topics covered were obviously ones of great importance to people. The seminar was fully booked and the demand for places was such that we unfortunately had to disappoint a number of people. We are thinking about running a similar event in the near future.� Copies of the notes from the seminar and information about future events can be requested from Gotelee’s offices in Church Street Hadleigh or Elm Street Ipswich or from Dawn Robb on 01473 298151 or email dawn.robb@gotelee.co.uk.

Welcome to this months Police news item. Just a couple of points of interest for you to all take heed of. TELEPHONE COMPUTER SCAMS!!! COMPUTER VIRUSES!!! Be warned that there is a company calling residential landline numbers claiming your computer has a virus and they will clear them remotely for free. They will ask for access to your computer and ask for details in order to clear these so called viruses all done remotely. DO NOT give any details such as passwords, bank details etc, (unless you have asked someone to call because you do have genuine problems). This company will claim to be from Microsoft Windows but are nothing to do with them. People who have already been caught out by this scam found their computers not working and they could not connect to the Internet once they had allowed this company access to their computers, internet providers have been contacted and they found an icon on the desk top that was blocking the internet. Ask yourself this ‘How does this person know I have a problem with my computer?’ If you have not asked for anyone to fix your computer then it could be a SCAM! IFOR WILLIAMS TRAILERS There has been a spate of these trailers being stolen in the Babergh area over the last two or three months. If you do own one of these types of trailers please try and keep it out of sight, locked and secured as best as possible. If you haven’t already make note of the serial number, this will help to locate your trailer should it ever be stolen. Mandy, PCSO 3108 Coleman.

The Crisp Family Tree When young, aged 11 in 1944/45 Dave Croager used to visit Uncle on a farm in Hadleigh area, Uncle Arthur Crisp, but stayed with another Uncle and Aunt, Alice and Stan Crisp who he believes lived at Lawford. (Alice’s maiden name Rose). Both would be in mid 70’s now, but it is believed that Stan has died. Does any member of Crisp family or families living in Hadleigh area, recognise either the name of Uncle Arthur Crisp, or Alice and Stan Crisp?. Dave is trying to complete a family tree and these people are still causing gaps in his programme. If you have any information, can you contact Keith Doidge on 822396, whom is an old RAF pal of Dave and can pass on any information. Thank you. Dave Croager & Wife Joyce, now living in Harlow

On a Clear Day (12A) £3 (accompanied children £2) FRIDAY 22nd JULY at 7.30 pm
A good natured British film for July. In the mould of ‘The Full Monty’, ‘Grow Your Own’ and ‘The World's Fastest Indian’, we are delighted to present ‘ON A CLEAR DAY’, our film for July. After decades of working for a Glasgow shipbuilder, Frank Redmond suddenly finds himself redundant and for the first time in his life he is without a job. Despite the support of his friends he feels desperately alone and contemplates his relationship with his loving wife Joan. However, a casual remark from one of his companions challenges him to swim the English Channel! Frank plunges headlong into his new life. His friends support and train him - and keep the secret of his attempt from his wife and son. The cast is in the best traditions of a British film, with Peter Mullan as Frank and Brenda Blethyn as his wife - now forced to go out to work as a bus driver! The mates who encourage Frank all excel with cameo roles, particularly Chan, the stalwart fish-and-chip shop owner. Frank's aim is to salvage his selfesteem - to find out whether he achieves this test of endurance, come along on 22nd July and find out! “THE KING’S SPEECH” will be the first film of our autumn season on 23rd September. Look out for the new cinema brochures which are now available in the usual outlets. You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre

News from The Station Welcome to the latest edition of news from Hadleigh Police Station. Our current priority in Hadleigh is dealing with youth nuisance and anti-social behaviour. This is often reported to us in many forms, and can range from young people playing football in the street, to intoxicated members of the public being rowdy on the way home from a night out. One thing that is causing us concern at the Station is the increased number of calls regarding the new Play Centre at the Calais Street Recreation Ground. Generally at weekends, people are gaining access to the site by climbing the fence. Once inside the fence line, people are discarding litter, broken bottles, and even urinating in the children’s sandpit. This behaviour will not be tolerated. There are a number of criminal and civil offences to cover these incidents, but more importantly, there are obvious health and safety risks to the workers and children who attend this site. I urge any reader who may have any information relating to those responsible to contact me or any member of the team so that we can put a stop to these despicable reports. Imagine if it was your young son or daughter who picked up a piece of broken glass, or played in a sandpit that had been used as a toilet? We have also been receiving numerous complaints from staff at Hadleigh High School, St Mary’s Primary School and Hadleigh Community Primary School. Outside of school hours the fields adjoining these premises are often used by members of the public for recreational use and dog walking. Sadly, these areas are being abused by the minority and pupils of the school are unable to use the full areas due to large amounts of litter and dog faeces being found. If you drop litter it is your responsibility to pick it up. If you have a dog, it is your responsibility to clear up after it. We have a large supply of dog waste bags at the Police Station that have been provided by Babergh District Council. These are widely available to the public, and you can contact us if you require a supply. In other news, we have been looking at the subject of bullying with the High School, and at ways in which this can be tackled. Our Safer Schools Officer, PCSO Patricia Gibson, has worked hard with the pupils to devise a campaign which will require pupils to voluntarily sign up to a pledge against bullying. Each person who signs up to the pledge will be given a key ring with the logo of the campaign “Say No To Bullying”. Josh Dewes, aged 13, won the competition to devise the tag line for the campaign which was “It’s not big to make others feel small”. We thank Gavin and Justin Alexander of Just Miniatures for providing the laser etched keyrigns. You can contact me via phone, email or of course in person. Alternatively you can find details of our meetings and engagements on www.safersuffolk.org.uk. Until next time, Matt PC 1455 Paisley Matthew.paisley@suffolk.pnn.police.uk, 01473 613500 Station opening hours: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 1pm – 3pm

Lucy Chapman (Sudbury) Ford Fusion 1.6:
Chris Yule (Capel St Mary) Renault Laguna DCi Estate / Peugeot 206:
“Once we had decided that we wanted a low mileage Ford Fusion, the speed and service was impeccable, with two options given to us within a matter of days. The car was collected in pristine condition just as we were told it would be. Any queries or problems we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble. When we require a new car, we would have no hesitation on using Kersey Car Sales again.”
“My wife and I bought a Peugeot 206 from KCS and shortly afterwards we asked Stuart to try and find us a Renault Laguna diesel estate. I was quite choosey about the colour and model but Stuart acted swiftly in finding the right car. A number of vehicles were offered some outside our price range, so we had several options before committing. I paid a deposit for the car despite not seeing it (I was assured it would be immaculate) and when we collected it was in excellent condition. We were also supplied with a service and new MOT. Overall an excellent service.”

On Saturday 9th July 2011, between 10 and 11am, we will be taking part in the charity abseil event at Ipswich Hospital Maternity Block. We are both serving police officers in Suffolk Constabulary and will be abseiling 150ft in police uniform. We hope to raise as much money as we possibly can for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich as they have been providing outstanding care for our father, Ray Kidd-Stanton. Ray was diagnosed with stomach cancer almost two years ago and he and the family have been supported by the Hospice in this time. Ray spent many years fundraising for the Hospice and he individually raised over £14,000 for the Hospice in this time through sponsored walks, raffles and dressing up for charity. It has now come full circle in that Dad needs the support of the Hospice himself. On Dad's behalf, we would now like to take up his fundraising mantle and help the Hospice as much as possible. As Dad is our InspiRAYtion, it seems fitting that we have this as our team name. We would be grateful if you could run an article about this fundraising event and include the details of our just giving website for any donations people may like to make. www.justgiving.com/inspiraytion Inspector Becky Kidd-Stanton and Pc 678 Matt Kidd-Stanton

Birch Farm, Hintlesham Celebrate 20 Years In Childcare Richard and Diana Bryce diversified from farming into childcare in 1991. The nursery started with just 35 places, all located within a newly converted stable block. Due to the number of children attending, more rooms were added in 1996 within the large farm barn, creating another 16 places. Later that year an indoor heated swimming pool was added, to accommodate both swimming lessons and family swims. With the change in families working requirements, a holiday club was started offering care for children from 2½ to 10 years every school holiday, full or part time sessions available. In 1999, a newly built, homely baby room was added to support parents that found themselves returning to work earlier together with a new larger welcoming area for parents. To compliment the childcare facilities, in 2003 a new complex housing a spacious activity centre, new changing facilities for swimmers, large cafe and open plan kitchen was opened. The activity centre is open to the public for children 5 and under and also offers children’s parties up to 12 years – play, swimming or cooking. The complex also provides ballet for pre and school children up to 8 years and a meeting room available for hire. The new complex has allowed swimming lessons to operate Monday to Saturday, offer open swim sessions for adults and parent and toddler, swimming parties and private hire.
In the past 2 years Birch Farm has continued to grow in all areas. The nursery can now offer 100 childcare places, yet still retains the homely environment created by the incorporation of many different learning areas in each age group. The activity centre now Building work begins, has the addition of an outside the roof arrives from Wales area ideal for warmer days. Throughout the development of Birch Farm, Richard and Diana have endeavoured to offer the highest of standards, achieved by constantly monitoring and improving the facilities, as well as having the support of an excellent team of staff, of which there are now 42! The creation of Birch Farm has been extremely hard work and Richard and Diana would like to thank everyone that has helped and supported them along their journey, to achieve what is now an exceptional facility for children and their families.

Layham Playing Field As you may have noticed we have finally been able to erect a large Ball Wall at the edge of the hard surface play area, just a coat of paint to go and we will at last be finished with this project. Huge thanks go to all involved in building the wall especially Colin and Maureen Brown, but also Terri Newman, Neil Riches, Nick Elliott, John Millman and Michael Woods. For more information on the building of both the hard surface and the Ball Wall please look at the website www.layhamplayingfield.talktalk.net

Layham’s own Recycling Site courtesy of the Big Lottery Fund Many Layham residents will have followed with interest the construction of the new recycling ‘bring site’ at the Brett Green entrance to the Playing Field over recent weeks. The design and building work have been carried out by businesses with links to the village. The initial design was Brian Smith and Oliver Duff as carried out voluntarily by local architect the project nears completion Robert Keeble and after a tendering 24 Telephone Community News on 01473 823366
process, the contract for the construction was awarded to Brian Smith of Lower Layham. Brian (01473 822412) and his colleague Oliver Duff (07769 145308) successfully completed the construction within a two week period, using their skills and ingenuity to overcome a few little problems on the way! At the time of writing, the first two containers will be delivered within the next two weeks. Villagers will then be able to recycle glass bottles and jars and textiles for a start. The container for tins and aluminium will be retained and the proceeds from that collection will go to the Sudbury Resource Centre (for adults with learning difficulties). Babergh District Council will support our recycling efforts by paying recycling credits to the Parish Council to support the various community groups in the village. The more we recycle, the more money the village will get, so please support this initiative. Some hedge planting will be carried out in the autumn to screen the construction. As previously reported, the Parish Council was successful in funding the project through the Big Lottery Fund. It is good to know that some of the money raised by the lottery has found its way back to our community
Exhibition of Lucy Harwood’s paintings The transformation of the barn beside The Granary from workplace into art gallery was and remarkable. Wendy Richard Harwood have long nurtured the hope that they could celebrate the work of Richard’s Aunt Lucy with an exhibition of some of her work. This they did in great style during June – starting with a private view on the evening of Friday 10 June (attended by over 100 people) and remaining open to the public for a further week. The family has gained immense satisfaction from the project. The most interesting spin-off has been the wealth of local stories emerging from people who knew Lucy in different ways. Artists who had worked alongside her, people who had attended her children’s parties, sat for her as models, own pictures painted by her, cleaned her car on Saturday mornings….the list is endless. Notes from her diaries will continue to be featured in ‘Letter from Layham’ over the coming months. It was the paintings that ‘stole the show’, as would be expected, and reproduced here is a portrait of Isaac (Ike) Cook in service uniform during the war, who lived a few doors from Lucy on Upper Street, and who many will remember. Also featured here is an Upper Layham landscape named ‘My Blue Roof - Layham’ and showing, not only the roof of Kiln house, but also the next door property – Upland House. The picture was painted from amongst buildings that have long since been demolished.
Introducing our new Layham Local History Recorder Dee Byham has volunteered to take on the role of Local History Recorder in Layham. She takes over from Pam Walker who gave several years of valuable service to the role – for which we are all very grateful. Dee has lived in Upper Layham for 40 years and has a real ‘feeling’ for the village. Her task is to work in partnership with the Layham Village Archivist to: • See that the present is recorded at local level by noting significant happenings in the Parish, especially interesting events and the changes taking place; • Record reminiscences of the Parish in the past; • Be on the look out for items of historical interest that might be overlooked or lost for ever and try to arrange for their acquisition for the village archive or for them to be copied. Dee can be contacted by telephone on: 01473 823277 or by e-Mail on: johnbyham009@btinternet.com. She will be very pleased to hear from anyone who may be able to offer reminiscences or items we might copy for the archive.
The fruit and vegetable nursery on the site of Brett Green John Byham read the request for information on the Layham nursery that was on the site of what is now Brett Green and sent in the following
information. “As a child I was often sent to the nursery where Brett Green now stands to buy tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, plums, raspberries and strawberries. The big gates were at the existing entrance to Brett House and, if they were open, I could go to the house or to the shed down the drive to buy produce. I remember the wonderful smell of the tomatoes in the shed. There used to be a blackboard at the gate detailing what was available. The whole entrance was dwarfed by a long-gone huge whiteflowered horse chestnut tree. The nursery traded under the name of Pizzey but was owned by the Stiff family from Kersey. The manager was Bill Tarry and he lived in Brett House. There were rows of greenhouses behind Brett House and towards the River Brett in which bedding plants and salad plants were raised and an orchard at the left side of the greenhouses towards where the playing field is now. Mr Spraggons, Fred Goddard and Geoff Holmes worked there and Geoff Holmes drove the lorry to Ipswich and surrounding area delivering flower plants and vegetables to shops”. Is it possible that any descendant of the families connected with the nursery might have a photograph of the area before it was sold for housing? If so, please get in contact with Dee Byham on 01473 823277 or e-mail: johnbyham009@btinternet.com

It was once again our turn to travel to France to visit Hadleigh’s twin town(s); Rousies, (Ferriere la Grande & Ferriere la Petite). So early on the morning of Friday 27th May a coach full of Twinners left Hadleigh to catch the 11am ferry from Dover to Calais. Fortunately it was a gentle crossing and arriving in France we drove to Bergues, a pretty walled town just south of Dunkirk where we stopped for lunch and to explore. After a slight detour looking for Len around Hautmont we arrived in Rousies at 17.45 to be entertained in the Salle de Fetes by a very energetic group of school children and their very enthusiastic teacher. We then dispersed to the homes of our French hosts where we were wined and dined. We met up again on Saturday morning for a visit to the pottery of Ferriere la Grande where we looked around the museum and bottle kiln and watched a demonstration by a potter throwing a pot. A generous lunch was provided in the extensive garden of Anne Marie followed by a variety of garden games for those who wanted to play or just to sit in the sun and relax. Our formal dinner dance in the evening was in Ferriere la Grande where the five course meal lasted five hours with plenty of dancing throughout and we presented a wooden bench, which was kindly funded by Hadleigh Town Council, to the Mayor of Ferriere la Grande. On Sunday morning we went to Trelon, a nearby town where there is a glass museum in an old glass factory. We had a lovely lunch in Le Bol Vert restaurant and then a bi-lingual committee meeting to arrange dates for next year’s visit. We then had a scorching demonstration of glass blowing and a tour of the museum which had been a working factory making perfume bottles until the sixties. To end le weekend we had another night together of music, dancing, eating and speeches before having an early night at midnight before the tearful farewells in the morning. Our journey home on Monday was punctuated by the usual supermarket trolley dash to take advantage of the now not-quite-so-cheap French delicacies. We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect; the company stimulating; the conversation challenging and we are all ready to return the hospitality next year. Thanks to Mary Munson for officially representing the Mayor of Hadleigh; Chris Chaplin for being our driver; to Peter Matthews our chairman and of course to the rest of the Committee for doing everything that makes these things happen. If you are interested in joining the Twinning we are currently planning some autumn events that nonmembers are welcome to attend. These will include wine tasting, a quiz and back by popular demand – a themed meal (find us on facebook). Our latest social was a celebratory Royal Wedding supper party. Many thanks to Wendy Chaplin and her family who organised this special night for the Twinning which everyone thoroughly enjoyed and will be remembered for years to come.

It will be nice to see the ‘regulars’ return and also welcome newcomers. July and August are popular months for boarding at Ryelenes due to families taking advantage of the schools summer shut-down and you are advised to book sooner rather than later in order to avoid disappointment.

Viewings are encouraged (by appointment please) so as to check where your cat will be staying and looked after by whom. Please see our main advert for website, email and telephone contact details.

Revival for Survival Dead or alive? Normal or abnormal breathing? Stay or leave? Just a few of the questions asked by Terry Powell, an experienced St John’s Ambulance man, at his recent talk to Fidelis. Although most first aid is common sense it soon became clear that, in an emergency, additional knowledge in this field could save someone’s life. Terry outlined the first aiders’ ABC - Airway, Breathing, and Circulation and demonstrated on a willing volunteer how to clear the airways, determine the pattern of breathing, check the circulation and put the patient in the recovery position. A resilient, uncomplaining mannequin was then brought into service and members were invited to try their hand at cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR. This Terry Powell clears involves breathing for the patient, and manually massaging the heart to promote Jill Howlett’s airways. blood flow around the body. A most informative evening which could only highlight the basics of emergency first aid treatment but who knows when this ABC will prove useful. Jan D

Hadleigh winner gets Take That on her doorstep They were the hottest tickets in town but Pamela Nichols of Clopton Gardens in Hadleigh has had a moment she will "Never Forget". She won a pair of tickets to see Take That at Wembley last month during their sold out Progress tour. Pamela entered a competition run by local radio station Heart FM on their website. She beat off over 35,000 other fans entering on-line to win the coveted tickets. The tour has been sold out for months. And that wasn't the end of it. The station's Heart Angel team sprung a surprise when they turned up at Pamela's home to present her tickets with Take That in tow - not the real band but a huge cardboard cut-out!
Pause for thought Author Julian Hardman tells of listening to a comedy show on radio where panellists had to summarize a whole book in a couple of lines from a pop song. He says he couldn’t remember any of them except one. This guy had been challenged to do ‘the Bible’. Of course everyone laughed. His reply was brilliant, “then I saw His face/Now I’m a believer”. The song by the Monkeys, not the most long lasting or profound of cultural products though one of their better songs. But it was a great answer, not complete of course, and in the original it was, “then I saw her face”, but with a surprising level of understanding. Why? Because the heart of the Bible is that Jesus became a man, as we look by faith on His crucified, but risen face, we believe and see one who is still the Way, the Truth and The Life. Kevin Moran

Babergh & Mid Suffolk residents vote differently on merger Voters in south and central Suffolk went separate ways in the local poll on proposals for a merger between Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils to form a single council. Across the two districts as a whole, 49.7% of the 64,069 residents who voted by post, phone, internet and text message voted ‘yes’ to the question as to whether the two existing district councils should be replaced by one new authority. 50.3% of residents voted ‘no’. However, 39.1% of the 31,468 of Babergh residents who voted, voted ‘yes’ whilst 60.9% voted ‘no’. In Mid Suffolk, 59.9% of 32,061 residents voted ‘yes’ whilst 40.1% voted ‘no’. Both councils had stated that only if more than 50% of those voting in both districts voted yes would the merger proposals continue to the next stage. On hearing the results of the local poll, Cllr. Jennie Jenkins, Chairman of Babergh’s Strategy Committee, said “local people have spoken and from these results those in Babergh are telling us not to go for merger. We are in very tough times financially, and the estimated additional savings from running one council rather than two, will now have to be found elsewhere. “The integration of the two councils’ staffing structures and services will still go ahead but the two councils will remain as separate legal entities. In addition, both councils will need to confront some difficult decisions in making their books balance over the years ahead”. Cllr Tim Passmore, Mid Suffolk’s Leader, added “It is extremely disappointing that we have a split view from our local communities about our innovative approach. We still face the difficult challenge of meeting very demanding financial savings while delivering front-line services and it is unfortunate that we cannot work more closely to achieve our radical and innovative idea for merger.” According to Charlie Adan, chief executive of both Babergh and Mid Suffolk, " “I would urge everyone to put their differences on the question of merger behind them and support both councils in our efforts to find even more integration savings, reduce spending and raise income to meet the impact of our financial constraints on services that residents need from us". “In order to meet our financial challenges we have tough targets for savings from integration that we need to deliver immediately and it is important that the hard work to do so continues”.
Boot Camp will have you feeling Just Peachee Bella and Josie Brown, sisters in law and also partners of JustPeachee boot camp are eager to welcome you to come and try out their action packed boot camp sessions . “ Our sessions are hard work but ultimately fun, with a huge sense of achievement.” When most women think of exercise they think of a packed gym where the world is watching, however this doesn’t have to be the case with a boot camp from Just Peachee (www.justpeachee.co.uk). Bella and Josie who are fully trained and qualified boot camp instructors have developed a fun ladies only boot camp. These boot camps not only offer a great fitness experience but help to build an essential foundation and desire to enjoy exercise rather than see it as a chore. The main reason women exercise is to look and feel good. Can this be achieved in the gym? Yes of course it can but at the cost of not taking pleasure of getting fit along the way. A gym can be a tedious place at the best of times so by offering the option to get fit in idyllic countryside settings makes for a whole new experience. It is much more appealing to get outside in the country air and exercise with other women like yourself who are fed up of the gym, want to try something fun or wish to just get fit in general. Bella and Josie take this into account and all the sessions are tailored to suit your needs. The ethos of just peachee is that customers are not just numbers but individuals and this reflects in the boot camps and how they are run. Currently just peachee are offering a 2 for 1 offer on all boot camp sessions throughout June and July so you can bring a friend for free. Each boot camp has a limited number of spaces. Josie and Bella believe that a boot camp is a great way to get fit and into shape not just for summer but forever. Sessions are held at various times and venues throughout the week and easily bookable on justpeachee.co.uk following the link onto the boot camp section of the site; or for more information contact Bella or Josie at bella@justpeachee.co.uk or Josie@justpeache.co.uk We look forward to seeing you!

Motorcycling at Hadleigh High School During June a lucky few students were given the chance to ride motorcycles around the field and receive coaching from some experts. Everyone who has been involved has enjoyed the experience and the PE Staff are hoping that this kind of event will be able to take place in the future as well. Year 10 Fundraising Over the next month or so the Year 10 students are undertaking fundraising events to raise money for their end of Year 10 reward trip. Over the last couple of weeks students have been organising Cake Sales, Penalty Shoot Outs, Car Washing and ‘Guitar Hero’. This has given the Year 10 students a real insight into the world of fundraising and has been a real success.

because of calendar constraints the meeting had to happen before this date. The group decided that their three favourite books were: Out of Shadows by Jason Wallace, The Bride’s Farewell by Meg Rosoff and Prisoner of the Inquistion by Theresa Breslin. They couldn’t come to an overall decision as no one had read all of the books but they all agreed that the experience has been worthwhile and enjoyable. The winner will be announced on Thursday 23rd June 2011 by the Carnegie Award Organisers.
French with St Mary’s On Monday 6th June seven Year 9 students: Abbie Brown, Ella Calvino, Sophie Gurden, Tori Hale, Kieran King, Kate McIntosh and Michael Sexton-Grant visited St Mary’s Primary School in Hadleigh to teach some Year 6 pupils how to speak French. At the moment at St Marys the Year 6s are learning directions and places in a town so the Year 9s were able to help them with this. The students planned their lessons using Starts, PowerPoint Presentations, Games and other activities to enhance their learning. Ella Calvino said “It was fun to do something different and help the Year 6s with their French”. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for both primary and secondary school students and we hope that this kind of event will be able to take place in the future. Maths Challenge Congratulations to the Year 7 and 8 students, who participated in the prestigious Junior Maths Challenge. Once again, our contestants achieved exceptionally high standards, in particular, a Year 8, Joshua Dewes who not only attained gold award but best in school, congratulations! This year an outstanding total of 27 awards were achieved including 4 Gold awards, 11 silver awards and 12 bronze awards. These awards went to: Gold Award: Year 8: Joshua Roberts, Joshua Dewes, Oscar Vardon-Barber and Robert Halls Silver Award: Year 7: Luke Robinson, Abigail Simpson and Fraser May Year 8: Emily Mason, Alanah Barton, Charlotte Woodmore, Caroline Bates, Chloe Self, Bethanie Clements, Edward Seeley and Thomas Blomfield. Bronze Award: Year 7: Ryan Diduca, Kirstie Airlie and Timothy Jenkins. Year 8: Alistair Grant, Connor Minter, Charles Howell, Faith Plummer, James Muschamp, Dominic Smith, Rachael White, Penny Sherlock and Sam Chapman.
Athletics Recently George Johnson took part in the Eastern Counties Athletics Championships where he finished 2nd in both the 100m and the 200m races with times of 11.85 seconds and 24.80 seconds. These are very impressive performances for a Year 9 student and we are hopeful that he will secure selection for the Suffolk Athletics Team. Callum Morrin, Year 7, has also taken part in some races recently. He finished 5th in the junior race held in conjunction with the Felixstowe 5 mile road race. Callum also finished 2nd in an inter-club 1500m race at Northgate in a personal best time of 5 minutes 15 seconds which is a very impressive and encouraging performance for a Year 7 student. Congratulations to both of you and we look forward to seeing things from you in the future.
Wantedâ&#x20AC;Ś.. Year 7 are going to be creating a butterfly and insect garden but they are in desperate need of donations for the project. If you have any unwanted plants, soil, plant pots, gardening tools etc please can you contact Miss Hogan by phone or email on lhogan@hadleighhigh.net. Any donations would be fantastic! Anti-Bullying Pledge On the 17th June the school is launching its anti-bullying campaign. This campaign has been organised by PCSO Gibson with help from the Social Action Group who have designed the pledge and presented assemblies to the school about the new pledge. You may be aware that PCSO Gibson ran an anti-bullying competition a few months ago which was won by Josh Dewes in Year 8. He created a logo for the campaign and this is being used as a part of the pledge. Each form group is going to have a pledge which they are all being asked to sign if they agree to comply with the pledge. The three main points on the pledge are: I will not be a bully, I will not be a bystander and I will tell someone. If people agree to this and sign up to the pledge then they will receive a key fob/bag tag to show that they follow the pledge. We hope that this will really help to tackle the issue of bullying in a new and more accessible way. The Social Action Group are hoping that they will be able to complete more projects like this and they are thinking about forming an anti-bullying crew to be around in the school. We want to thank PCSO Gibson for organising the pledge and helping to make this idea come alive. Enrichment Fortnight From Monday 20th June until Friday 1st July the pupils at Hadleigh High School are going to be enjoying an Enrichment Fortnight. During the fortnight lots of exciting trips and activities are taking place such as: two weeks work experience for the Year 10s, the Ardeche trip for the Year 9s, Combined Arts for the Year 8s and Year 7 Camp. This fortnight is primarily to give the students an opportunity to develop their skills in how to become a successful team player, researcher and enquirer. They will also develop a greater level of independence which will help them with activities in later life. As the Year 10s are undertaking work experience we hope that this will help them to take more responsibility, show resilience and work well in a much more adult setting which will give them the skills which they will require in the world of work. Congratulations to School Captains We want to offer our congratulations to Toby Rankin and Misha Dewes who were successful in the interview process and were appointed Head Boy and Head Girl. As the field was so strong this year, Collette Bunce and Paul Midgely were triumphant in receiving the roles of Vice Head Boy and Vice Head Girl. Thanks to the ideas which were raised by the candidates in the interview process, there have been two new specially created roles this year to try act on their ideas. Millie Forbes and Ollie Emmerson were given the role of Key Stage Liaison, to make the process of the Year 6s coming up to the school much easier. Lorna McGhee and Mallory Dixon were given the roles of developing a new reward and discipline system, within the school, so it is appropriate and welcomed by all of the pupils. Well done to all the pupils who applied to be Head Boy and Head Girl and a special congratulation to those who were successful in achieving a role.

The weather has been the main topic most people have been talking about this spring. A very long spell of dry warm and windy weather. From the 15th May the Giffords Park site remained bone-dry, no wader or ducks to report from here. The first Lapwing Chicks were at an irrigation reservoir at Shelley. Four Little Ringed Plover, Redshank, Greenshank, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Coot, greylag Goose and a lone Great Crested Grebe were also on the reservoir. My first Swifts were of two flying over Layham Church on 3rd May. Lesser Whitethroat on 22nd April, Garden Warbler on 25th April and my first Sedge Jerry on the bridge he Warbler for two years was also on 25th helped build in 1990 at April at Giffords. Turtle Dove on 27th April Ynys-Hir, the venue at Layham Pits, Hobby on 6th May high currently featured on over the garden. Reed Warbler on 20th ‘Springwatch’ May at Semer Mere, Spotted Flycatcher 20th May on the River Walk. Other Hobby seen at Kersey Tye, Elmsett, Aldham, Layham, Raydon and Shelley during late May. Nightingales look like they have had a good breeding year, and young nightingales could be heard and seen perched three feet above the ground along the Railway Walk, Broom Hill and Ramsey Wood with adult birds calling out their alarm notes. How many Cuckoo’s are being heard this spring? So far I’ve seen and heard them at Broom Hill, Layham Pit, Railway Walk, Bullocky Fen, Semer Mere, Ramsey Wood, Kersey Vale and Little Wenham Moat. Again three birds were in Ramsey Wood as last year, two males and a female. My friend Adam heard a Quail calling from crop of wheat in Stone Street, Hadleigh in late May. Early evening on Friday 10th June, 170+ Swifts were just gliding south west into the first rain showers above top of Angel Street. Red Kite seen by Matt Were these Swifts after rain drops or insects?

Springwatch is being filmed from Ynys-Hir RSPB Reserve in Mid Wales, this reserve is in the village of Eglwysfach between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth. I know this reserve well because 21 years ago between April and the end of August 1990 I was a volunteer Warden there (where have 21 years gone to?). The first week was nonstop rain and the rest of the time was very hot and dry with most of Britain having a heatwave. The reserve covered over 1200 acres when I was there and I believe there have been further expansions in recent years. Anyone in that part of Wales on their holiday should go and visit YnysHir, the scenery alone is worth a visit. Please contact me if you see anything interesting! email jerry@keithavis.co.uk Jerry Oxford

Hadleigh Healing Society Uncertainty. We all like to feel secure in our jobs, homes and our personal lives. There is so much uncertainty about our every day lives perhaps more now than at any other time. Should we have that holiday abroad or maybe save the money. Shall we put off buying that car, make the old one do a bit longer. These are all things that we are all having to consider very carefully and budget accordingly. Life is not simple, there are so many decisions to be made. Some people cope and take it in their stride, others struggle. There is somewhere you can come and talk through your fears and anxieties - no one will judge you, just provide that friendly listening ear. We, the healers, at the Hadleigh Healing Society will do this and it will be in the strictest confidence. Why not try it.

Hadleigh Comunity Primary School School Camp Once again, we have been enjoying our school camp which is for years four to six. Of course, for Mr Jackson, our head teacher, it is his first camp! So far, he has thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and has really got involved, visiting each camp and sorting the equipment. We have had a fantastic amount of support from parents this year – we really owe them our thanks. Hopefully, there will be some photographs to share next month. Lepra Assembly Our children have made a superb effort with fundraising for the Lepra charity and were able to cure around 50 people of leprosy by raising nearly £1000. Twenty two of our children raised the £21:00 required to be presented with a special ‘Lepra’ T shirt – what an achievement! Thank you to all who supported us. Year 2 Money Day Once again, the Ipswich Building Society supported our teaching by providing a variety of activities covering Literacy, Numeracy, PSHE, D&T and History. They taught the children about the origins of money, played a variety of money games, read and wrote stories about using money, and in the afternoon, the children even designed and made their own money boxes (which are now on display at the Ipswich Building Society in Hadleigh). We would like to thank the building society staff for their support. Here is a picture of some of the children making their money boxes. ‘Share’ afternoon On Tuesday 14th June, Year one shared activities with their parents. They made fruit kebabs and musical instruments. It is great to see the children and parents having an opportunity to work together and a good number of parents attended. A superb time was had by all. Year 3 Lions sing sweetly It has been great to hear our year 3 children singing their songs for their brilliant show, ‘Daniel in the Lion’s Den’, which they performed in the third week of June to packed audiences. Well done to all involved.

Ben 'The Bear' Woods A Charity Boxing Tournament for Help4Heroes took place at Liquid/Envy in Ipswich on the 20/05/2011 with approx 1000 people watching the event - 50 or so from Bildeston and Elmsett supporting Ben Woods. During the course of the night there were 16 fights featuring HMP Highpoint versus Suffolk Police and Suffolk Fire Brigade. There was £3500 raised for the charity by HMP Highpoint £500 of that raised by Officer Woods, and a grand total of £7500 raised by all of the services. Ben ‘The Bear’ Woods won his fight against the police on points over 3 rounds with each round lasting 1 minute 15 seconds long. HMP Highpoint won the competition overall 7 - 6 with 4 draws on the night. The event was all arranged by Lee Brown Boxing Events.
Hadleigh & District Garden Club The subject “Compost”! Boring? Wrong! The subject kept a full house of gardeners totally focused as Terry Rands gave the Club the full benefit of his extensive knowledge and experience, supported by slides, on Monday 13th June. Admittedly it must sound mundane to anyone who isn’t a keen gardener, always concerned about the condition of his or her garden, but to those of us present it was extremely interesting, re-inforcing our own experience and introducing some concepts that I’m sure were alien to our long held views. This was especially true as to what one should not put on the compost heap - actually remarkably few things. According to Terry, the list is very short indeed, just two things in fact, deseased tomatoes and potatoes! Their deseased foliage was apparently o.k. which surprised everyone and I’m not sure that I won’t continue to bin or burn mine, although as he pointed out, desease spores are always in the air and their development depends on the conditions they grow in - i.e. generally speaking weather conditions. What fun we gardeners have as we fight the bugs, beasties and of course, those pesky spores - and the weather!! Our outing is to Hyde Hall on 21st June and the next meeting in the Community Room is 12th September, the subject “Plants for Late Summer Colour” For more information phone Ruth Allen 822323

Shrubs, Conifers, Trees Perennials, Fruit Bushes
Hadleigh Gardens
NOW AVAILABLE Personal Thoughts My thoughts at the moment are about gardens and holidays. I normally arrange my main holiday around the middle to the end of June. This normally fits in well with my garden. Most things are planted out so that they do not need to be watered, and my soft fruitcrops of Raspberries, Redcurrants, Blackcurrants and Loganberries will not be ripe. However this year everything is two to three weeks early, so we are certainly going to miss out on the Raspberries as quite early in June we have already picked a useful quantity. They will probably be a bonus for my friendly neighbour who minds my greenhouse. If you have a good sized garden with a greenhouse the friendly neighbour is a vital requirement for holidays. With good planning you can make it a lot easier for your garden minder and increase the survival chances of even quite exotic plants. I normally have a good variety of plants in the greenhouse, and the problem for the minder is getting the watering correct. What I do is stand all the plants that will need watering on trays filled with Hortag, then providing the pots are well bedded in on the Hortag and the Hortag is kept wet the pots will pick up the water that they need from the Hortag. So all your friendly neighbour has to do is keep the Hortag wet, Cactii and succulents will happily survive two weeks with out any water. so these plants are seperated from the others and watered well immediately before you leave, and are then left alone until I return. House plants can be a problem. Some plants I move out to the greenhouse. Some that I have in hanging baskets (Lipstick plants and Columnea) are hung up outside in my trees. For some that are delicate I make sure they are damp NOT wet and then put them in large plastic bags with the top closed. Finally my wifes couple of orchids stay in their normal position having been watered before we depart. Some people suggest standing house plants in the kitchen sink and feeding them with water by "siphonning" water to them with bits of wet string, but I have never got this to work to my satisfaction. I learnt something from Monty Don the other night. Until then I did not know what a "Chelsea Chop" was. Monty suggested that if you cut some perrenials back hard in mid June they would bush up and the flower very well but later. I am trying this on one clump of Phlox and will report how it performs for me.

At the end of May the 3 month running figure was 22.6 mm (0.9”). Since 1997 the previous lowest 3 month figure was 52.9 mm (2.1”) in 2003. This gives an impression of how dry the last 3 months have been. However in the first half of June in Kersey there has been over 30 mm (1.2”) of rain, which is more than we had in the previous 3 months. The question now is whether we might now end up with too much rain. Only time will tell. In May the maximum temperature was 24 Cel (75F), and the minimum was 1 Cel (34F), so May was slightly cooler than April, and a bit cooler than average, but again there were no proper air frosts. In my garden the ground temperature in mid June is 15 Cel (59F) which is about normal. Hints The lawns have been well and trully cooked. In early June we have had some rain, but not nearly enough. The grass is starting to go green again, but it will recover better if you do not cut it too short. One of the things that will keep your garden looking good in July and afterwards is to cut off dead flowers. This is particularly true of annuals, and roses. Wishing you a pleasant time in your Summer garden. John Rye

Dear Sir The Help for Heroes stall at the Hadleigh May Show sold goods to the value of £566 the profit from these items goes to funding the work and running costs of the charity. A further £538.40p was collected in donations together with a sponsorship cheque of £75 all of which will go directly to fund the care the charity provides in the recuperation and rehabilitation of our injured service personell. It is my pleasure to thank the stall sponsor Hadleigh Tyre Service's, for their support. Together with the wonderful work of the Hadleigh Detachment of the Army Cadet Force by permission of Sgt. Gregg Burgess and a contribution of assistance from Wattisham Squadron Air Training Corps. Thank's are also due to Hadleigh Farmer's Agriculture Association and Mr.and Mrs. Holden of Holbeck's, plus all those that gave so generously. Fred Breyer
Dear Sir I have been a resident of Hadleigh for nearly 20 years, brought up my children here and continue to work locally as a registered nurse. I therefore would like to ask the people of Hadleigh for their support in my charity trip later this year. I along with two others have registered with Original Volunteers, an organisation which make arrangements for people to go to places all over the world to work as volunteers. The scheme we have chosen is a children’s home in Nepal and we plan to work there in November. The work is completely unpaid, and we have to find money for our flights and accommodation, while we are there and some basic equipment to take for the children, and so are doing what we can to raise the money for this ahead of time. I therefore would like to ask the people of Hadleigh for their support. I am looking for old records, CDs and buttons for craft work and also
Dear Sir In the June issue, Jan Byrne asked the question why residents are complaining about getting a new fit for purpose community facility. Well, as one of the residents who were “complaining” let me answer that question on behalf of the 460+ people who signed our petition against the town council’s decision to use their swimming pool fund money for the management fees of this new centre. Contrary to the belief of Ms Byrne, not all of us are against the new centre, some are but some are not but what we all disagreed with was the spending of £2.4million pounds plus £30,000 annual management costs, at a time of cuts, on a venue that does not add anything to Hadleigh. Virtually everything proposed for the new venue is already elsewhere in Hadleigh because the groups and organisations that used East House did not sit around for 3 years waiting for a venue; they went out and found somewhere else. Also other things have started up, such as the successful Porch Project which has over 200 teenagers registered with it. And this is really the crux of the issue, if we were getting a new venue that genuinely added to Hadleigh and not just duplicated what is already about then there would be less of an issue. However, the new venue’s proposed services are based on the perceived need from Babergh’s 2008-09 research and no work has been done since their community engagement survey at that time (which had only 301 responses from the public) to recognise the changing circumstances in both Hadleigh and the economy generally in 2011. In addition this blind obsession that Babergh have with this new facility has meant they have not done any risk management on the many community venues and organisations that are at risk potentially because of this proposed centre. As an example, the Ansell Centre have invested money in improving their facilities in the last couple of years, this investment could be put at risk by a shiny new community centre that could suck room hire bookings away from this community venues and others in Hadleigh. For most of the proposed services this centre will offer, there is a similar example of a risk to other venues/groups. The irony of this is that if Babergh were not so blind to be open to changing the services provided in the centre that this could actually be a positive development given that many community services such as libraries and children’s centres are at risk due to Suffolk County Council cuts. Alternatively Babergh could also look at some of the more innovative venues around the county for the inspiration they are sorely lacking on this. The only risk management that Babergh did on how this centre would affect Hadleigh was on the High School Leisure Centre and bizarrely they graded the risk to the centre as low, despite people related to that leisure centre suggesting that the actual risk is more likely severe. So, to answer Jan Byrne’s question, the reason why so many of us were against this was simply common sense. For the money spent this centre adds little of value to Hadleigh. If we were getting something that met needs not already served elsewhere then it probably would not have drawn the ire of so many of the people who signed our petition. Finally, I would like to say a belated thank you to all those who signed our petition and I am sorry that your voices were not heard, though that is hardly surprising as so far only a tiny percentage of Hadleigh residents have had a say on this. Gavin Talbot
Dear Sir At last! The Tesco application for a store to be situated on the Brett Works site goes before Babergh District Council Planning Committee on Wednesday 6th July. All the discussion and planning on the subject has been completed and the final plan has now to be approved by our Councillors. We need to show our support and solidarity - once again - by attending the meeting in numbers to show that 76% yes vote in the referendum of 1999 still holds and not only is the need even greater as the population of our town continues to increase, but that our desire for an additional store is as great as ever. We need to attend the meeting at 9.00 am for a 9.30 am start. All members, friends and supporters will be most welcome. R. H. H. Smith, Chairman Tesco Supporters Group 38

Hadleigh Community Playgroup During the start of the summer term the children had a very busy time. To start with the children had their playgroup photos taken, which all turned out looking great. The children also had a cooking experience with Crafty cooks, where they got the chance to cook yummy apple and banana cakes which they all took home with a craft cook goody bag which had the recipe of the cakes in, so they were able to show their parents how to cook them. During the half term we held the yearly Toddle and teddy bear picnic. The sun came out to play, so all the children, parents and grandparent who joined in with the toddle had lovely warm weather to enjoy. After the toddle we had the teddy bear picnic where teddy’s, children and adults got to sit in the playgroup garden eating there lovely food. As well as having a lovely day we are pleased to say we raised an amazing £392.50 from the children being sponsored for doing the toddle. A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped raise the money. We are able to put the money towards new play equipment. If you are interested in sending your child to the playgroup we still have places available for September. You can come into the playgroup for an application form or for further information then please visit our website. www.hadleighcommunityplaygroup.co.uk

“I suppose this is what the Art Cognoscenti call an Installation”, said the woman in the anorak. The tall smiling lady with an air of authority said it was Conceptual Art. “It’s a Sculpture”, said the small lady in a voice that denied contradiction. We were in Angel Street at the private view of ‘Sarcophagus: Septemer 2008’ and we were looking at a clear perspex coffin in which reclined a golden skeleton, the head of which was resting in a lap top computer. In the right hand, frozen in the attitude of attempting a last purchase, the skeleton held a credit card. At its side; a cell phone and scattered on the coffin floor more credit cards, scores of them. Tellingly, at its feet; a copy of the Financial Times announcing the collapse of the global economy. The skeleton’s hollow eyes staring unbelievably at the damage that has been wrought. Peter Johnson, who created the piece, and acknowledges the assistance of a net-work of friends, tells us the idea came to him over a year ago in a ‘sudden vision’. “Is it”, he asks, “an old man’s folly or something more significant? Frankly I do not care” he continued, “for I have enjoyed making it immensely and have cemented friendships in the process. To have completed it is the greatest satisfaction of all”. He sees this as a modern day satirical Hogarthian comment on the financial crisis. On this score it really works and now it’s up to Peter to give it a wider audience. Somewhere amongst the speculators in the City of London, perhaps. B.H.
Big Thankyou We would like to thank every person that helped at the Fund Raising Coffee Morning held at 4 Raven Way, Hadleigh. Also for the raffle prizes and many generous donations and lovely homemade cakes. We raised £500 towards Alzheimers Research. Well done and thanks to all of you. Julia Wild
Rotary Review CLUB ACTIVITIES: In late April a party of 14 members, partners and friends enjoyed a short trip to the beautiful town of Bruges. The trip was professionally organised by Riviera Travel with the group joining the tour at Ebbsfleet for the speedy Eurostar journey to Lille followed by a coach transfer to the hotel in Bruges. There were some organised activities but most were optional and there was plenty of time for exploring independently. There were some excellent restaurants for evening meals etc whilst a boat trip on the canals and a visit to the local brewery proved very popular. The trip was voted a great success and everyone returned loaded with delicious Belgian chocolates. CLUB EVENTS: Unfortunately the Club was unable to participate in the annual Rotary Kids Out day due to the ever more stringent Health and Safety Regulations etc but every endeavour will be made to overcome these problems next year. SPEAKERS: 1 Major R Corcoran MBE, Deputy Commander of the Military Provost Unit Colchester commenced his talk with a brief account of his military career frrom boy soldier to his present rank. He has served in many places including a recent tour of duty in Afghanistan. He is responsible for the Military Corrective Centre which is now the only centre of its kind in the UK. Colchester has a long history of hosting a military prison and detention centre since the 1940's. The main aim of the centre now is to deter further offending, as well as educate and rehabilitate inmates rather than pure punishment as in the past. Living accomodation is comfortable whilst there is a gym and assault course to maintain health and fitness as wellas an education and vocational training centre. The average stay is 6 months for mainly military offences. The aim is either to produce a better serviceman or provide basic skills training for a return to civilian life. 2 Richard Gates, on one of his regular visits, spoke about the battle of Waterloo. This was a departure from his usual talks on more modern warfare, but delivered with the same meticulous attention to detail and vivid descriptions. Members could almost imagine that they were taking part as he described the cavalry charges, cannon bombardments and various tactics to produce victory. It is always a pleasure to listen to such an accomplished raconteur. 3 John Norman, a member of Ipswich Rotary Club and project manager during the building of the new University and college, discussed the reasons for creating a local university. Whilst higher education in the county was excellent there was a need to have a University avallable as well to encourage more local children to go on to advanced education. Specialisms at the university now include all forms of health education whilst the college has many vocational courses with excellent training facilities including fully equipped kitchens, hair salon, garage and engineering workshops. 4 Brian Riley, District Councillor for Hadleigh North gave members an insight to his political philosophy with the emphasis on trust. He would hope to gain the trust of his constituents, and a mutual trust with fellow councillors and council officers. He is worried that Hadleigh is becoming a dormitory town and places great importance in preserving the individual and independent shops in the High Street and hopes that Babergh will be able to do more for them and all the small businesses in the area. Brian has enjoyed a varied career and retired as a senior international banker having worked in various Eastern European and African countries. He still carries out some consultancy work when his Council duties allow. MEMBERSHIP: Members welcome anyone who would like to find out more about Rotary and the Club at any of the speaker meetings.

The Gainsborough Charity Challenge On Sunday 12th June over fifty walkers and runners were on the first Gainsborough tee at 7.30 in the morning. This 4.5 mile charity event had been organised to support The Brendan Oakes Trust and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The Trust was set up, in Brendan’s memory, to help other teenage cancer victims and is the charity chosen by this year’s Lady Captain Lesley Garnett. Brendan’s mother, Val, sounded the horn to get the event under way. The Gainsborough course made a wonderful back drop and gave many people, who were not golfers, the opportunity to experience its beauty and wild life. The club house breakfast proved very popular after such an early start! The amount raised, so far, for the two charities is £386! My thanks to everyone who took part and to Matt, Adrian and Stuart for their help with the organisation. Lesley Garnett

Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group The 1st XI have continued their excellent start to the season, losing just once in nine games, and are well placed for a promotion challenge in the latter half of the season. Murray Spence is the leading bowler in Division 2 having taken 35 wickets already. Josh Davey has also batted consistently well, with his 94 not out against Braintree when chasing down 240 considered by captain Tim Rix to be one of the best innings he has seen during his time at the helm. The good news is there is plenty of room for improvement, and hopes are high that Hadleigh could return to the top flight of the Two Counties Championship for the first time in 20 years. The 2nd XI are at the wrong end of Division 4, which makes the runscoring of their opening batsmen Nadie Abdul and Richard Checketts even more notable. They have already shared stands of 181 and 161, and average 49 and 59 respectively. With more support down the order there is no reason why the team cannot get out of trouble. The Sunday XI have also struggled recently, but were unlucky not to beat Exning when reducing the visitors to 56-8 defending 123. Martin Grayling has been the most dependable performer with the bat so far. He has worked hard at his game and scored his first 50 for Hadleigh in the rain-affected match against Battisford. The Academy XI is seeing some excellent performances from the club’s youngsters, who are more than meeting the challenge of playing against adult sides in Division 5 of the Hunts County Bats league. There was no better example of this than in their game with Walsham le Willows. Batting second, the team were 8-4 at one stage, but recovered thanks to the efforts of 16-year-old Brett Crisp and 15-year old Alex Davey, who both scored their maiden senior 50s and came very close to overhauling a target of 199. Dominic Manthorpe’s 100 not out in the Academy’s first match of the season was published in The Cricketer magazine’s ‘Honours Board’ feature. The club’s new double bay net practice facility will be officially opened on July 17, during the Academy match with the Dutch touring team Hilversum. Farmer

Hadleigh Dolphins Hadleigh Dolphins took a sizeable squad of 30 swimmers to British Gas Great East Swim at Alton Water, Suffolk, On June 11th 2011. This year there was a half mile race, plus a gruelling 2 miles, to add to the traditional mile swims.

TV cameras were present and some great ambassadors for the sport like Duncan Goodhew and Steve Parry were in attendance. The weather and temperature play a big factor in open water swimming, this year the weather was an improvement to last years, unseasonable stormy day. The weather was a mixture of sun and clouds and not too windy. The water was 16.5 degrees but wet suits were compulsory. Some of the Dolphins were raising money for charity, Cancer Research and The Alison Fracella Trust Fund, others were attempting to better previous swims and some of the younger swimmers were taking part for the first time. In the Two mile event, ten of our sqaud competed. Nine of them achieved times under one hour and Roy Death was first in his age group in a time of 1 hour 18mins and 14 seconds. An admirable swim as he mostly swam the breast stroke. For the girls, Abi Malster aged 17 years was 3rd in her age group, in a time of 51:28 minutes, closely followed by Shan Bendall in 4th place in 52:33. Kern Death was the first Dolphin home in 45:12, finishing 7th in his age group. He was closely followed by Tom Olive, clocking 45:26 and 8th in his age group. These two are seasoned open water swimmers for hadleigh swimming club and the finish is always close between them. Next home was Truan Death 9th in his age group, in a time of 28:05. James Baalham followed in a time of Shan Bendall, Richard Goodchild, Tom Olive, Kern Death, James Baalham, 49:11 finishing 12th in his age Jake Howard, Truan Death, Roy Death group overall.

A new dolphin swimmer was Kelly Wagland, he had competed in the mile the previous year and being a strong front crawler, decided to double the distance. He finished in 56:08 and 15th in his age group. Finally, Mark Oxford finished in a time 58.05 and 27th in his age group. He then changed and spent the rest of the day life guarding the rest of the legs. In the traditional mile event, 14 dolphins were swimming. Sixteen year old, Lauren Ryder was the first dolphin home in 29:42, 34th in her age group. Jane Olive was next in 30:46 -9th in her age group.

Hadleigh Evening WI At their June meeting members of Hadleigh Evening WI were delighted to welcome speaker Andrew Brogan who described his eight year labour of love required to create Henstead Exotic Garden near Beccles. His power point presentation included pictures of taken of that process and the incredible garden today. Although the exotic plants, palm trees and bamboo are chosen for their hardiness some damage was caused by our cold winter and dry spring. Andrew judged the competition of a single red rose won by Philippa Carruthers. For all local WIs summer is the season of the garden party to which other group members are invited. Once again Ann Porter is the host for Hadleigh Evening. Other activities arranged by members included a coffee morning to support the Beechner and Wilding cycle ride for a cancer charity held by Carol Cranston; the annual ramble and cream tea, which Liz Cage will be hosting. Maraday Robinson has arranged two trips to the theatre. Next months meeting will be held in the Seminar suite above the library on 19 July starting 7.30pm. The speaker Stephen Lester will talk about Antiques and Auctions. Visitors and new members are always welcome. Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057
Chivalrous outcome after wrong balls mix up A nail-biting Suffolk Tolly Cup tie which hinged on contestants from both sides playing their opponents ball on a crucial hole ended in dramatic style with Newton Green defeated in chivalrous circumstances by the narrowest of margins by visitors Woodbridge. When Martin Smith sunk a four foot putt on the last green Picture Newton Green Tolly team, in the final match to win the left to right: Harry Wordley, hole it seemed he and partner Martin Smith (back), Andy Roper, Phil Green had saved the day Ian Coleman, Phil Green, to allow the home club to go Scott Edwards, Neil Fenn, into a sudden death extra Andy Smiles and Gary Twyman holes play-off. But on an earlier hole another Newton pair and their opponents had both played the wrong ball with their second shots. They received preliminary advice that they should both accept a half and move to the next tee but, as the final match completed it’s last dramatic hole, it emerged Newton's other pair should have conceded the wrong ball hole because they had been the first to play incorrectly. However, the sporting Woodbridge visitors urged Newton to accept a playoff as they had not expected the earlier advice to be altered and believed honour would be achieved by going into extra holes. But Newton decided to decline the offer, believing that, despite the generosity of their visitors, they should accepted defeat by one hole under the rules of golf. Alan Cunningham, Newton club captain, commented: “It was extraordinarily generous of Woodbridge to offer a play-off but we felt it was not for us to go against the rules of golf and we decided to take our medicine and lose. It had been an exceptionally close match played in a wonderful spirit. In the end I believe the game of golf was the winner.”

Hadleigh Hares Athletic Club FRIDAY 5 SERIES At the time of going to print 3 of the 5 Friday 5 mile series runs / fun runs had taken place at Ipswich Jaffa (challenging road and cross country course with a killer hill to finish), Kirton (undulating country lanes nr Felixstowe) and Stowmarket (challenging cross country course at Haughley Park) respectively. All three runs were well represented by the club with those who have made it to all three looking to complete the final two events in Bury St Edmunds and Great Bentley later this month and perhaps pick up a prize! Times as follows: Ipswich Jaffa- Clive Pinnion (33.18), Dan Nokes (34.58), Matt Hunter (35.08), Julian Davis (38.35), John Norman (39.13), Trudy Avis (40.13), Corinna Hussey (41.39 PB), Helen Norman (44.47), Sarah Grimsey (45.17 PB) and Tracey Squirrel (52.54). Fun run – Alex Baxter (4th overall) and Kieran Airlie (59th overall) Kirton- Dan Nokes (32.39), Matt Hunter (34.20), Brian Airlie (35.05) and Julian Davis (35.35). Fun run – Callum Morrin (5th overall) and Kieran Airlie (69th overall) Stowmarket - Dan Nokes (34.34), Matt Hunter (35.27), Julian Davis (36.43), Becky Smith (44.11) and Carol Nokes (44.26) SUFFOLK COUNTY 1500M TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP On Monday 6th of June, 4 junior Hare athletes went to Northgate Track to compete, against 30 others in the Suffolk County 1500m Track Championship hosted by Ipswich Jaffa. After just missing out on medals at their last race, we had some very determined athletes this time around. Ewan Baxter aged 8 went to watch his brother Alex race (more of Alex to follow!) and decided that he too would have to have a go, despite not having the right kit! Ewan ran an amazing time of 6.23 finishing in 23rd place with a lot of older boys behind him. Jack Harman aged 11 ran a very even paced race taking runners all the way and finished strongly in a time of 5.28 in 5th position. Jack is getting better and better every week, well done. Despite racing 3 days before at the Kirton 5 fun run Callum Morrin took part, running a strong race to finish 2nd in a great time of 5.15. Alex Baxter also 11 led from the start and flew around the track looking very comfortable for the whole race finishing in 1st place nearly 100m ahead of Callum in a super time of 5.03. All four boys continue to impress head coach Clive Pinnion with their commitment and dedication and he says they will only get quicker and no doubt start to pick up more medals. Well done! R.A.F WATTISHAM SPRINT TRIATHLON On a warm sunny but slightly windy day the Wattisham sprint triathlon took place on Saturday May 21st with 12 Hares joining 239 others to complete the 300m swim, 20km cycle and 5k run. For six of our twelve athletes it was their first time completing a triathlon and we’re led to believe they enjoyed it so much it won’t be their last! Well done to you all, times as follows: Ladies: Alison de Lara Bell 1.09, Kate Thomas 1.09 (1st Tri), Jackie Kirk (1st Tri) 1.20, Carol Nokes 1.24, Debs Stewart 1.24 (1st Tri), Lisa Smith 1.33 (1st Tri). Men: Richard Hanley 1.00, David Dulake 1.03, Neil Crisp 1.07, Adam Johnson 1.14, Andrew Stewart 1.14. BOURNE WOODS HALF MARATHON- LINCOLNSHIRE Congratulations to Becky Smith who took part in her first trail half marathon on Sun 29th May. Having never run a 13.1 mile trail course before Becky wasn’t entirely sure what the organizers had in store! She soon discovered it was a multi lap trail race (a mix of good quality easy going track with the tougher dry rutted type too) mostly held through beautifully cool sheltered woods with some escapes out into sunny open farmland with some hills thrown in for good measure. These included the “Hill from Heaven” and yes, you guessed it, the “Hill from Hell”! Having never run a trail race before Becky was pleased to complete the course in 2.06 and will be looking to improve on that in 2012! CLUB 5K SERIES A reminder that our inaugural 5k series continues with Race 3 on the 21st July, Race 4- 11th August and Race 5 (Club 5k Championship Race) 1st September. Please also see our website for further information www.hadleighhares.co.uk. TAKE THE PLUNGE!

Hadleigh Bowling Club Sunday the 12 June 2011 saw the official opening of Hadleigh Bowling Club’s green at their new Stone Street facility. The day started for club Lady Chairman Audrey Nelson and past Chairman Ken Linge when they appeared on BBC Radio Suffolk’s Breakfast Programme. Later they hosted a lunch for Bowls England Vice President Stuart Lake and his wife before Stuart performed the opening ceremony by rolling the first wood of the day straight up to the jack much to his relief and the amusement of the members and guests. The afternoon drive consisted of two executive rinks made up of both ladies and mens county representatives. A further 5 rinks were made up of club members. In addition it was nice to see a number of past members who just turned up to witness the beginning of a new chapter for the club. At mid session tea and cakes were taken in the club house and by then the rain that the club had waited for for the last three months had set in and the attraction of a warm and dry club house proved too strong and it was decided to call a halt to bowling for the day. However the inclement conditions could take nothing away from a splendid occasion on a momentous day in the clubs 257 year history. The Club was founded in 1754 by John Ward the publican of the then White Lion Hotel and established a two rink green in the grounds of the hotel. (Now dissected by Magdalen Road). He placed a notice in the Ipswich Journal on Saturday 1 June 1754 announcing that “Having lately, at the request of several gentlemen made a very spacious and commodious Bowling Green near his house”. He further advised that there would be a meeting on the following Friday 7 June whereby the club was formed and remained at that site for the next 256 years until the end of 2010. Regrettably the old site could no longer accommodate the needs of a modern day club and a decision was made to relocate to the edge of Hadleigh to where a new “spacious and commodious Bowling Green” and Club House has been created. Today the club, now sponsored by Frost & Partners, Estate Agents, has 94 playing members and some 45 associate members ensuring not only a number of competitive and friendly matches but also a lively social life. The club welcomes new members, experienced or novices and for the latter coaching from the club’s own qualified coaches is available.

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd. www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk Ridgeons League Premier Division club Hadleigh United have appointed long-serving treasurer Rolf Beggerow as acting chairman. Beggerow’s previous spell in the chair, in 2004, saw Hadleigh win The Suffolk Senior Cup by beating Long Melford at Portman Road. The position has been vacant since Ken Ramsey stood down last December. Hadleigh’s first two home pre-season friendlies against Brightlingsea and Southen Manor have both been called off to allow the recently turfed Millfield goalmouths more time to settle. Manager Stuart Crawford said he hopes the club will arrange two away games instead. Other friendlies, all at home, sees Chelmsford City at the Millfield on Tuesday 19th July and Soham on Saturday 23rd. Team Bury will be entertained on Wednesday 27th before Tilbury pay a visit to the Millfield on Saturday 30th and Leiston on Tuesday 2nd August. Any additions or alterations will be posted on the club website. Pre-season friendlies for the Reserves and Ridgeons Youth Team will also be on the website. Prizewinners in the latest monthly draw were Bob Talbot, Bob Fletcher and Alan Dilloway. Terry Adams
Hadleigh United Briefs Hadleigh United supporters will be missing two old favourites this coming season as Captain Duane Wright has signed for Needham Market and keeper Aaron Benstead has had his contract cancelled by mutual consent so he can join a club nearer his home in Southend. Another departure sees veteran clubman Merv Bignall leaving these shores to work and live in Cyprus. We all wish Merv the best of luck in his new life. Hadleigh Reserves are scheduled to play a friendly against Earls Colne at Layham Road on Saturday, 9th July at 1.30 pm. By the time these notes are published a new football secretary will have been appointed following the resignation of Chris Rose after four year’s valuable service at the Millfield. Brettsider
