Hanging Gardens of Hadleigh This year will be the third year of bringing flowers back to Hadleigh. Once again we’ll be putting up 60 baskets along the high street paid for by the town’s traders and residents. The scheme was set up as a whole community project under the umbrella of the Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce and run by a small group of volunteers, notably Guy Ormes and Ron Jenkins. The idea was that traders and residents would contribute to a scheme that benefits us all. It has worked well but while support from traders has been great, especially from independent shopkeepers, there is not yet widespread support from organisations in the town. Many of the traders don’t live in Hadleigh but are happy to help pay for something that benefits us all. It would be so good if groups of residents in clubs and organisations, or even groups of neighbours, could get involved and help us raise the money. It isn’t cheap. We need more than £6,000...and that’s without the addition of ground level displays we’d like to put in next year. We do have major contributors; the Chamber of Commerce donates £500; Priory Hall Wedding Venue contributes £1000 and this year Daisy Chain has increased its donation to £300. So how

about the Benton Street basket, or the Hadleigh Twinning Association basket? Maybe the Dixon Dart League players would chip in, or WeightWatchers put a few pounds towards the flowers. There are many possibilities and we do need the help. If you would like to sponsor a basket please complete the form on page 6 and send it with your cheque to Cyndy Hilton, Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce, Priory Hall, Benton Street, Hadleigh, IP7 5AZ. Sponsorship for an individual basket is £50 and corporate sponsorship starts at £100. We will publicise all sponsors at the end of the summer. For more information please contact Cyndy on 01473 823185 or 07711 321907.

Missing Black Siamese Cat in Hadleigh Our beloved black Siamese, male cat called Hero, went missing on Friday 23 April 2010 at 9.00am in the morning from our garden or close to our garden on the High Street in Hadleigh, Suffolk. Hero is a very affectionate, beautiful boy, small, black with yellow/green eyes. Hero is micro-chipped and neutered. Hero had a fabric collar on in green/brown with a pink heart disc with my telephone on and my name Darrell on the other side. He does not stray and says close around the gardens/area. Please could you call us on 01473 822 179 or 07771 514 826 if you saw Hero when he disappeared or if you have recently seen him wandering around your area.

Slip, slap, slop in the sun this summer! Here comes the summer, and with it, we hope, lots of warm sunny days to spend outdoors with our families and friends. We all love the sunshine: it lifts our spirits, and gives us energy and a sense of well-being and relaxation. We all feel that a golden tan makes us look healthier, and more attractive. And we need some sunshine on our skin to enable it to manufacture vitamin D for us. It is a Pictured is the winner of our vitamin essential for healthy bone ‘guess how many sweets’ formation and repair. competition at our Hadleigh But the sun emits rays which can be Show stand, the teddy's name harmful to us. All of us have probably is Millie, and there were 14 suffered the unpleasant effects of thousand sweets in the jar! sunburn; the painful, reddened skin, even blisters! And then the itching and unsightly peeling following on. But more importantly overexposure to the sun's rays can cause lasting damage. It can cause the skin to age prematurely- more wrinkles! More age spots! More dangerously, it can trigger the development of skin cancers. Some of these can be minor, but nevertheless they require surgery to remove them, which can lead to scarring and disfigurement. Others can be much more malignant, aggressive and even life-threatening. So it is really important that we all get into the habit of protecting ourselves and our families from over-exposure to the sun's rays by following some simple rules:1. Limit skin exposure to the sun, especially when the sun is at its highest between 11am and 3pm. Stay in the shade, or cover up with light clothing and a hat. 2. Use a good sun protection product with at least a factor 15 rating. Young children (whose skin may be only one fifth the thickness of an adult's) and very fair-skinned or red-headed people need a much higher factor. 3. Renew sun protection regularly, especially if swimming. Most products need to be re-applied every three or four hours, and always after Website : www.millpharm.co.uk swimming.Email: Make sure to use enough! Read and follow the manufacturer's pharmacy@millpharm.co.uk instructions. 4. Be especially careful at the beginning of the holidays, when skin normally covered by clothing is first exposed. Cover up after no more than half an hour on the first day. 5. Protect your eyes! Wear sunglasses with a quality polarised lens, and make sure your children do too. The Australians have been aware of, and have been fighting, increasing levels of skin cancer for many years. They have become very 'SUNSMART'! We must learn to be 'sunsmart' too, to stop skin cancer becoming an increasing problem for us and our families in Britain.

The photo I have included is of ALL the members of the Committee plus the Swimming Pool superintendent Mr Thorby who with his wife looked after the pool so well from the start, helping many thousands of people from Hadleigh and from far around to swim. It has been suggested that we should have a record of the building of the pool so I thought I would try. However it was a long while ago, I need more photos, more notes, many of the original documents were handed over to the new swimming club Committee, have the present Committee any of the original documents as like so many of the swimming pool committee members the original club members have passed on. If anybody has relevant information or photos cold you let me have them, any used would be acknowledged and of course returned when finished.

Big time gardening is not for everyone and certainly not for the faint hearted but hanging baskets and flower pots, now they are an entirely different matter. At least Matthew Tanton-Brown made it seem that way when he recently came to show Fidelis how to choose, create and maintain these garden accessories throughout the summer months. Gone are the days of a simple, cheap terracotta flower pot. Hanging baskets and pots come in every conceivable shape, size and material even the choice of colour and linings is overwhelming. Choosing the plants to fill them can be just as challenging. Happily, Matthew, an experienced gardener based at the Place for Plants, East Bergholt, was a fund of knowledge. Using the plants he had brought along he was able to make up a hanging basket and offer advice on the colour, size, fragrance and suitable location in the garden at the same time. After this informative, inspiring demonstration the ladies were happy to buy many of his plants to put some of his ideas into practice. Jan Devey

Black Cat Club The Committee met to finalise forthcoming events which, as usual, proved to be interesting and fun. Our recent theatre trip was a great success and once again the amateur theatre group were excellent. We had a traditional Spring meeting where we tried our hand at flower arranging and it was soon evident that Charlie Dimmock had nothing to be fearful for !!! There were some good table decorations, which were rewarded with a small prize. We also had our horticultural knowledge tested which proved to be surprisingly good. We discussed our forthcoming summer programme, which includes a planned Mystery Evening, plus a selection of events for the rest of the summer. which should suit all. Our next in house meeting is on Wednesday 2 June at the Sidney Brown Court – why not come along and meet us. Lynn Todhunter

I have arrived at my desk hot-foot from Hadleigh Show to pen these words. As you know, I joined Morton Smith & Sands on their stand. As you will see from the picture it was a glorious marquee with twin peaks and flags. We also displayed my 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III long wheel base motor car. Everyone was thrilled and delighted to be awarded Third Place for Best Trade Stand over 10 metres. That made the hard work on the part of everyone worthwhile. We ran a complimentary competition to guess the mileage of the Rolls-Royce and the prize is lunch for two at Hintlesham Hall Hotel. I can announce that the correct mileage was 144,513 miles and the winner with 144,304 miles was Jill Warner (incidentally of the Parish of Hintlesham). Jill was thrilled to bits to have won and is looking forward to her lunch! As these warmer months arrive, the talk over the odd glass of Pimms is bound to be “have you made your Will”. Do knock on my door with gusto to let us have your instructions. My mother, Brenda, together with my Secretary and right hand man Janet Harrop worked liked Trojans on the stand at Hadleigh Show. As my mother turned 84 on 16 May – a picture of these two great ladies appears below.

TAYLOR & SONS
There are a number of grateful thank's to be expressed to those who gave support to our first appearance at the Hadleigh Show. Firstly to the show's organiser's H.F.A.A. for having us, our neighbours on the site Atlas Equestrian and the Art Exhibition (we could still be trying to read the Chinese instructions to erect our tent without them !!). To friends Jimmy Wilding and Christine for giving of their time to help on the stall during their visit. However, the stars of the day were the young people from Hadleigh Army Cadet Force and the Hornchurch Sea Cadets, who had a very early start to arrive prompt at 08.30., all of whom showed unflagging enthusiasm, (fortified by Coke's, J20, Penguins and sausage rolls). Our main sponsor for the day to whom I am much indebted, were Hadleigh Tyre Services of Calais Street, plus an old army friend Mr. John Varney who met our other expences generously. This enabled the sum of £525.63 donated from the public to be deposited in the H4H account as a straight and untaxed gift and a cheque of £249.90 sent in payment for the goods that were sold on the stall, (only one item cost more than £3). It is diificult to express the positive support this will give in helping to rebuild shattered lives and the appreciation it will engender. On behalf of HelpforHeroes, THANK YOU ALL. Fred Breyer
Whatfield Primary School Whatfield CEVC Primary School are always very proud of their excellent staff, but this year they have special reason to celebrate. Mrs Mary Squirrel, cleaner at the school, celebrated 40 years at the school in October 2009. This Spring she was selected from over 200 entries to be a finalist in the Stars of Suffolk Celebration. She attended the gala evening provided by the Evening Star, and held in March. It was a lovely evening, and all the finalists were honoured guests, and enjoyed a three course meal and entertainment throughout the evening. Mary has worked tirelessly for the local community and for the school, and is always there to help when people need it. She has a long history with the school, being born in the old school house, and is still a keen fundraiser for the Friends of Whatfield. What with regular baking for birthdays and special occasions such as Children in need and the Hands for Haiti event, Mary is always busy, and can’t see any signs of slowing down yet!

Can you help us! This December four local teenagers; Shan Bendall, Polly Bell, Ella Rodwell and Sarah Robinson, will be involved in a fantastic experience which you will hopefully help us with! We are currently studying at Colchester Sixth Form College where, every 2 years 20 students are chosen to carry out volunteer work in India. We were all fortunate enough to be chosen to attend the expedition and will be spending 3 weeks in India over the Christmas period 2010. The majority of time will be spent at a girl’s orphanage called the Russ Foundation (aka the Good Foundation) in Madurai, Tamilndu, Southern India. The Russ Foundation is a charity which aims to improve the living conditions and quality of life of individuals, families and the surrounding community by providing access to the needed services; irrespective of gender, castes and faiths. The home currently provides shelter, education and a family to 35 children. The charity also runs many other projects and especially faces the large problem of HIV and AIDS. During our time at Russ we will work with the girls at the home doing activities such as teaching English, building, planting and having great fun with the children! The college asks that each student going on the trip raises £500 to donate to the Russ Foundation which helps with the general upkeep of the home, health center and wages of workers. On top of this, it costs approximately £900 to go, including flights and internal travel. We will be spending this following year planning and carrying out fundraising and sponsored events, individually and with the rest of the group. This is where you can help! We hope you will attend any events and give us your support. For example on the 7th of June, we will be holding a Barn Dance at Hollow Trees Farm, Semer, with a professional barn dance band with a caller, 7.30 to 11. We hope you will attend and enjoy yourselves while supporting us with this amazing cause. If you are interested in more information then please feel welcome to get hold of us by email; pollybell@hotmail.co.uk

Hadleigh Rugby Club Beer Festival 2nd - 4th July After a very successful weekend last year, we are holding another beer festival. We are keeping the same format as last year with beer, music and fun for all. The beer will again be supplied by the Wolf brewery and will include 16 real ales and 4 ciders. As last year the beers will be from all over the UK with a selection of summer ales, bitters and stouts. All for £2 a pint. We also have some great local bands performing over the weekend including “Underline The Sky”, “Mister Max and Dave”, “Up all night” and performing on Saturday evening will be the popular local band “Skapamaster”. On the Friday evening and during the day on Saturday we will again be having a bouncy castle for the children and this year a surfing machine for the grown ups! There will also be other fun games to keep the children entertained. The BBQ will be fired up again to cook a variety of BBQ meats supplied by The Jolly Meat Company. So everything is set to make this a great success as it was last year, the only thing we haven’t been able to book is the weather and to make sure this doesn’t affect the fun we have some large Gazebos to keep us all dry, if we are not blessed with the same stunning weather we had last year. Hadleigh Rugby club would like to welcome everybody to this event and make it a weekend to remember
Diamond-Lites Majorettes The competition season has started again for the girls, they have been hard at work over the winter practicing the new routines and wow did it pay off. We attended the B.A.T.O.N regionals at Clacton for a weekend of competitions and we had our best results ever! One 1st place, seven 2nd places, seven 3rd places and nine 4th places. Well done girls! Well done Jassy, Nikki and Mica our new leaders for the year who all won medals as did all the mascots. Also to all the new girls who danced for the first time you all did amazingly. Thanks also to all the parents who came along to help and support the girls. The girls have been busy fundraising all winter for their much needed new dresses and poms, which look amazing, however, we wouldn’t have been able to order the dresses in time for B.A.T.O.N without the kind donation from the HADLEIGH THRIFT SHOP thank you. Thank you also to THE GEORGE, THE EIGHT BELLS, THE COCK INN, THE KERSEY BELL, THE RAM and THE QUEEN AT LOWER LAYHAM and all their customers who were generous enough to have a go on our easter egg raffles, all money raised from this will be going towards a market stall for the girls to get changed in at competitions.

25th Anniversary Season ends with a Glamorous Occasion Hadleigh Rugby club brought this historic, memorable season to an end with a day of celebration and finesse. The 25th Anniversary Dinner was held at Manor Farm Barn, Semer thanks to the co-operation and generous support of club benefactor, James Buckle. With 220 guests lavishly suited and gowned the occasion was celebrated in grand style. The immediate past President of the RFU and long time friend of Hadleigh, Brian Williams, presented the main speech where he recognised the fluctuating successes of the club over the years. Also present was the RFU Community Rugby representative, Andrew Sarek, who presented the club with the prestigious RFU Presidents XV Award for outstanding effort in displaying the recognised Core Values of the amateur game. Proud President John Hall and Chairman Alan Murray praised the efforts and commitment of captain John Squirrell who has spent most of the last twelve months bringing the event together. “It is a fitting tribute to John’s passion for the club having spent so much of his time on this project. From the start he displayed the spirit of the club in his determination and commitment to ensuring a successful celebration of this fine club”. Earlier in the day celebrations began with a testimonial game between the Chairman’s XV, a selection of past and present players against the visiting “Black Baa Baas”, a team of former Rugby School associates. Following some heavy and arduous exchanges the visitors ran out winners in a 7 pts to 5 victory. However, it was the game of Rugby that was being celebrated and both teams were worthy contributors. Hadleigh now look to the future and the club’s increasing development in the community and beyond.

Summer Music in Hadleigh Many sons of Hadleigh, like their fathers and grandfathers before them, spent several formative years up to the age of 11 at The Old School in Bridge Street. In 1967 the school was closed. No-one seemed to know what to do with it. There was a proposal that it should be turned into a second-hand car showroom, but it was saved from such an ignominious fate when American conductor and pianist Thomas McIntosh acquired it for a home and performing space. Mr McIntosh turned the large schoolroom into a concert hall, and ever since it has been a venue for concerts of classical music, including opera, and other artistic events. Several world premieres of 'Thomas McIntosh classical works have taken place here in Artistic Director Hadleigh, and many foreign musicians have East Anglian played at The Old School. International Summer Thirty two years ago Thomas McIntosh Music Festival.' organized a Piano Masterclass at The Old School sponsored by the East Anglian Daily Times. Out of this grew the annual International East Anglian Summer Music Festival, held in July/August each year. Summer Music was amongst the very first of the small local music festivals which take place all over the country. In the early years, there were very few attractions open to the public on Sunday afternoons, when the concerts followed by cream teas in the walled gardens were a great attraction. The Old School has a devoted band of concert-goers who will tell you that nowhere else will you find such a combination of first class professional music making, excellent acoustics and friendliness in an intimate concert hall. Some people who enjoy listening to classical music at "Audience enjoying the garden at The Old home have never School after a concert" ventured out to hear a live concert. Now there’s a chance to do so on your very doorstep. This year’s festival runs from 17 July to 1 August during which there will be 10 concerts open to the public. 2010 marks the 200th anniversary of the births of Frederic Chopin and Robert Schumann and several works by these composers will be performed. On 28 July Thomas McIntosh, an acknowledged Chopin expert, will give a special Chopin Gala Concert devoted entirely to Chopin’s piano music. Full details of this year’s concerts can be obtained by telephoning 01473 822596 for a brochure or look online at Minstrel Productions website www.minstrelmusic.co.uk where you will also find reviews of past concerts and much more about The Old School.

News from Beaumont Community Primary School Groups of gymnasts from Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 participated in the Ipswich and South Suffolk Gymnastics competition earlier this month. We are delighted that both teams performed really well and made it through to the county finals! They had to carry out sequences of movements and balances, including floor and bench work and vaulting. Congratulations to both teams and to Mrs Cocks, who runs the gymnastics club! Well done to the children who took part in the pyramid schools tennis festival. All the children developed their skills and behaved superbly. We had a great time! The children in the Squirrels class enjoyed a special theme week based on Pirates. During the week, the children dressed up and participated in lots of ‘pirate’ activities, such as making flags and pirate ships. Also, the children did treasure hunts and made messages in bottles. What a fun week! The children from the Penguins class went on a Mini beast hunt. They used magnifying glasses and bug catchers to discover and identify insects and other small animals. Also, they investigated plants and flowers growing in the local area. Children in the Rhinos class invited their parents to lunch. This was a really popular event, which gave parents the chance to sample school dinners and find out what the children do at lunch times. As part of our European ‘Comenius’ project, children have learned that mealtimes can be social occasions. Everybody had a good time! Thanks to Dean Thrower for sharing some of his favourite stories about ‘peace’ with us in assembly. The children contributed some interesting ideas and learned a lot. Also, thanks to the Rhinos class for their class assembly. They shared achievements, hobbies and interests through newspaper and television news reports. Lots of parents came to watch and support the children – thanks to all who attended! Ten of our Year 5 children have just returned from France! They spent a week in Lille with groups of children from France and Scotland. It was a great opportunity to practise speaking French and learn about another culture. The highlights of the week were a visit to a food exhibition in Paris and a trip up the Eiffel Tower! Years 3 and 4 visited the Country Fair, along with about 3,500 other children from Suffolk schools. This popular event gave children the chance to see how sausages, rape seed oil and flour are made. Also, there were lots of animals to look at close up, including hunting dogs, ducks, hatchling owls, chicks, livestock and Suffolk Punch horses. The children learned a lot and their excellent behaviour was commented upon by the stewards at the event! Well done everyone! Dear Miss Burton, We were stewards at the School Farm & County Fair Day and were so pleased to be appointed to one of our local schools, Beaumont Community Primary School. There was so much to see, to do, to touch, to listen to and to learn about, that not all exhibits could be visited. The children, eager to be involved, patiently waited their turns to participate and confidently asked their questions, so many questions! We wish all the Hadleigh residents to know that throughout the day, the children’s behaviour was so very good and we thank them and congratulate them and the staff. Maggie & David Nicholls, Castle Road, Hadleigh

Hadleigh Orchestra Conductor: Ute Cooper Leader: Alison Butler SUMMER CONCERT: June 13th, 6.30 p.m., POLSTEAD CHURCH Schubert’s ‘Unfinished Symphony’ must rank as one of the most popular works of all time – and the amazing thing is that it was put away in a drawer and not performed until 43 years after it was written! Schubert gave the score to an associate and he did not make its existence known until 37 years after Schubert’s death, and the score was not published until 1867. We feel very privileged to be performing this work. Brahms wrote the ‘Academic Festival Overture’ as a gift for the University of Breslau which had given him an honorary doctorate. It must have surprised them to find that it was a ‘very boisterous potpourri of student drinking songs’! So it has some jolly good tunes in it! Other works which we know you will enjoy include a ‘Polacca’ by Tchaikovsky and some popular folk songs from (nearly) all parts of the British Isles. As usual, entrance is free, but we do ask you to give a donation as you leave towards the cost of the concert and also towards the Church. We look forward to seeing everybody again at what is always a pleasant summer occasion.

Hadleigh Rifle Club Airgun Section 3rd Annual Fun Shoot (Jo McMillen Memorial Trophy) On the 11th May 2010 Hadleigh Rifle Club Airgun Section held their 3rd Annual Fun Shoot. This traditionally takes place over the Easter Period, however due to the amount of external competitions that club members were partaking in over the March/April period then this had to be delayed by a number of weeks. Each year the competition takes a different format. This year it was agreed to devise a shoot where speed as well as accuracy could contribute to a winning score. The first round consisted of rapid fire rifle. The targets for this were standard 5 bull 10m targets, 5 shots within 20 seconds, with bonus points for the more rapid shooters. Rounds were shot with a semi-automatic gas powered multi shot carbine. Some shooters decided to blaze away whilst the more seasoned shooters (older!!) decided to place their shots, however with timed bonus points it was a pretty close thing no matter how the shooter decided to tackle it. The second round followed the same format as Round 1 but was shot with a semi-automatic gas powered pistol with realistic recoil. This was to try and add a touch of difficulty. Single bull 10m Air Pistol targets were used as it was thought this was the harder round of the two being shot, however it was surprising to find out that competitors actually scored better with the pistol than the rifle, going totally against what was expected!! The scores from the two rounds were then added together, with any bonus points and the winner was determined, following a much deserved food and watering break!! 1st Place Simon Mayes 2nd Place Trevor Madder 3rd Place Martyn Hillyard The competition went right to the wire with Simon winning with a fantastic last round score, deservedly winning the Jo McMillen Memorial Trophy, a knock down target and a bottle of champagne. We hope he enjoys at least one of them!! We would like to thank everyone that turned up on the night and hope that everyone enjoyed themselves. Hadleigh Rifle Club meet at The Drill Hall, George Street, Hadleigh at 1930-2130 every Monday and the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays every month. For further details please visit our website www.hadleighrifleclub.co.uk. Mike Austin, Airgun Section Captain

Hadleigh & District Probus Club The object of the Club is "To promote fellowship amongst retired and semi-retired professional and business men". The Club was established in 1998 and has now had another successful year. The Club meets for lunch on the third Wednesday of the month at the Eight Bells, Hadleigh. Attendance has continued to be remarkably good, averaging over 80% of the membership. Their ladies joined members for the Ladies Lunch last August held at Belstead Brook Hotel. This year we have reverted back to an evening Annual Dinner with a record turn-out at The Donkey, Stone Street, Hadleigh, at the end of March. The Club occasionally invites guest speakers to give a short talk after lunch. During the year we had three guest speakers. In October we had the pleasure of entertaining the current Mayor of Hadleigh, Cllr. Laurie Munson, who is the Chairman of the Club (he was Vice Chairman at the time). We had one outing during the year, to the Bure Valley Railway and Wroxham Broad, last August. A very pleasant day out blessed with fine weather. The number of members in the Club is limited, mostly by the accommodation available for lunch. There have been a few changes in membership this year. One member, our long-serving Treasurer, left the area for personal reasons and three new members have joined us to share in the excellent food and wine provided by Linda and Gianni at the Eight Bells! Sadly the Club has recently said farewell to our founding Secretary Lt.-Col Stanley Edwards, MC, TD, OBE, who passed away on 22nd April. Although no longer an active member he took a keen interest in our affairs and well-being. Membership of the Club was well represented among the congregation at the funeral in St. Mary’s Church. Presently we are at our maximum membership of 40, and have a short but rather slow-moving waiting list. Any person interested in joining should, in the first instance, contact the Secretary, Chris Drake, on 01473 822098

News from The Station I have now been in Hadleigh for a little over two months and am thoroughly enjoying my role. Both Matt and myself have been distributing posters around the town, to all the shops and businesses, as well as the Industrial Estates, so we hope by now a lot of you will know who we are and what we look like. I have spent my time engaging with the youths and attending the clubs that are put on for them and hope to get more involved. I also spend a lot of time on foot patrol in the High Street as you all may be aware, and am tackling the issues of parking both here and the areas surrounding both the High School and Hadleigh Community Primary School. If you are causing a parking offence you will be issued with a ticket. Whilst writing in this edition, may I bring to your attention some crime reduction advice. Hadleigh is a busy shopping centre and as such may attract opportunist thieves who target vulnerable people, whether they are elderly or distracted with children or just those who are happy to help someone in a shop. I would ask shoppers to be on their guard. If bags and wallets are kept secure and on your person, and you remain vigilant while out and about, it will be much harder for an opportunist thief to ruin your day. I would suggest always keep your bag or purse on your person, if your bag has a top zip, make sure it if fastened. Ladies, if possible wear shoulder bags across the front of your body and never leave a bag unattended in a shopping trolley, buggy, pushchair, mobility scooter, whilst browsing or having a cup of coffee in a local café. Whilst keeping your purse/wallet safe may I also remind you not to keep PIN numbers with bank cards as this is an invitation for a thief to take all your money from your account. If someone asks for your help, only give it if you feel happy to do so. If someone bumps into you, immediately check your bag/purse/wallet. If you find it has been stolen call the Police and cancel your bankcards etc. Calling Police immediately may enable officers to view CCTV footage to see if the offenders can be identified. At Hadleigh Police Station we have a supply of purse bells, which are an excellent deterrent, because when attached to your purse/bag make a noise and will put off any would be thief. Please pop along to get one. Please come and say hello to me when you see me in the street. Julia, PCSO Julia Bignell 3173

Dear Friends KISSING FROGS! I read this recently and wanted to share it with you: Do you ever feel like a frog? Frogs feel slow, low, ugly, puffy, drooped, pooped. I know – one told me. The ‘frog feeling’ comes when you want to be bright but feel dumb, when you want to share but are selfish, when you want to be thankful but feel resentment, when you want to be great but are small, when you want to care but are indifferent. Yes, at one time or another each of us has found ourselves on a lily pad, floating down the great river of life. Frightened and disgusted, we’re too ‘froggish’ to budge. Once upon a time there was a frog, only he really wasn’t a frog – he was a prince who looked and felt like a frog. A wicked witch had cast a spell on him. Only the kiss of a beautiful maiden could save him. But since when do cute chicks kiss frogs? So there he sat, unkissed prince in frog form. But miracles happen. One day a beautiful maiden gathered him up and gave him a great big kiss. Crash! Boom! Zap! There he was, a handsome prince. And you know the rest – they lived happily ever after. Sometimes we hear ourselves ask the question “What am I here for – what am I doing?” That little story sums it up for me. We are here to kiss frogs of course! We are here to kiss, to touch, to love….frogs. One of the two important things Jesus told us to do was to love one another (the other being to love God). We are God’s vessels – human bodies which, if willing, are the way in which God, who is love, can demonstrate His great love for each of us. There are times when perhaps we feel like a frog, feeling down and despondent, cheesed-off with the world, and as the story says “pooped”. An expression of love from another person can make a huge difference – perhaps a physical hug or an arm around the shoulder – or maybe offering to do something practical. These are the ways in which we ‘kiss frogs’. The Church of England is going through some tough times at present, debating issues concerning sexuality and the consecration of women bishops. The church mustn’t forget that we are called to all this in an attitude of ‘kissing frogs’ – no matter what our personal views might be, these issues are to be discussed and worked out in love which binds all together, and all people together in unity. We, as the people of God, were made for love. When did you last kiss a frog?! With my love and prayers

ST MARY’S CHURCH ART EXHIBITION At the recent Art Exhibition organized by St Mary's Church in Hadleigh, £250 was given to Help for Heroes and £250 to Home Start Babergh from the proceeds, the balance going to Church Funds. The exhibition, along with our twice yearly bazaars, the Fete, Friday's Cafe Church, ad hoc coffee mornings, etc. are very much community events welcoming all-comers, helping to raise funds for charities and also contributing to the work of St Mary's, not only the running costs but also for the God's work in the community - not least our reaching out to the young of Hadleigh, who are so poorly served as far as facilities in the town, in our 'Porch Project' - so called because initially it was to welcome those who used to gather in the evenings, weekends and at holiday times in the Church porch. We started off welcoming them for drinks and snacks on a Friday evening and, happily, it has grown since to be a joint venture between them, members of the congregation and others who support the project.
Ebony’s Blog
French Tuition in Sudbury
My life at The Shelley Centre
Summer courses: General French, Conversation, Reading.
Welcome to Blog Number 12. Yes, it’s the first Anniversary! Difficult to comprehend that it has been a full twelve months since the first Blog went into print. However, no Champagne corks popping or partying to celebrate, just another day. The Herd have welcomed yet another addition who goes by the name of “Parys”. She is a TB Cross C. Bay, 15.3 Hands High, Dark Bay Mare, 23 years old. Parys tells me she already has some RDA working experience so is familiar with the training process; she is also liking the open fields now having been used to an enclosed environment at her previous stables. The Regional Qualifying Dressage & Working Pony & Rider Competitions were held on Sunday 09th May at Oakland College, St Albans with the Shelley Centre being represented by four Riders entering the Qualifying Dressage Tests. Our four competitors were: Zoe Talbot, a Paraplegic, rode side-saddle on Shannon: Ruth Snowling, having suffered from Polio, also rode Shannon: Sarah Mitchell, with Rheumatoid Arthritis, rode Rocky: Jackie Gosling, with Multiple Sclerosis, also rode Rocky. Everyone was competing for a place at the National Competitions to be held at Hartpury College on Saturday and Sunday, 10th/11th July. However, our taking part in such events does not just happen. From my room I see and hear all and can tell you a lot of hard work is involved by everyone working as a team to get our Riders ready for the Competition and don’t forget Lyn, our Stable Manager, is the only full time employee at the Centre, everyone else is a volunteer. Not forgetting the logistics of moving horses, Riders, Helpers and Carers, arranging accommodation, stabling etc. much work goes into preparation such as grooming of horses, cleaning and polishing of Tack, the selection of appropriate riding habits to ensure good presentation on the day. Perhaps, though, the biggest effort of all is for the horses, Riders and their instructors to drill and practice for weeks in advance of the day; they were working hard even during the Easter break, whilst most Riders were resting, and had to work around our laying of the new surface too but, this did not deter them from the task in hand. To enter these competitions requires great commitment and professionalism from our Riders as well as everyone at the Centre who is involved. The standards set for these competitions are no less than for able bodied riders who train as professionals so you can imagine the sense of pride and achievement felt by Rider and Helper alike when they enter the arena; my circuits come over all warm at the thought and I wish I could have been there to witness it all. The costs are not in just time and effort either. It costs us over £2000 to enter these competitions and this is where a welcome Sponsor wouldn’t come amiss, so if you would like to help our Riders please do come forward. On the day it was very cold, windy and wet although everyone was in high spirits. Ruth and Sarah started early in a Class of 16 Riders with Ruth scoring 63% and coming 5th , and Sarah scoring 60% and coming 6th. Unfortunately, due to the high number of entries in their Class neither qualified for Hartpury in that only the first three go forward. However, neither Rider should be downhearted because they still achieved personal bests having greatly improved their riding skills. Jackie and Zoe rode after lunch and were in a Class of 10 (Zoe, who is now 16 years old, rode in the adult Class for the first time). I’m delighted to say that both qualified for Hartpury and will be riding in the National Competitions during the RDA 40th Anniversary finals which will be a memorable event for both of them. The scores on the doors were, Jackie 72.9% giving her 2nd place, with Zoe 72.3% coming 3rd; what a great finish! Perhaps, having whetted your appetite, you may like an opportunity to see for yourself the Centre in action. If you are interested in learning more about what we do at the Centre (And, of course, coming to met two great celebrities, yes, me and Strikey, who else?), The Shelley Centre will be holding an Open Day on Sunday, 13th June starting at 2 p.m. We do have a restriction on numbers as well as having to plan our catering so please telephone us at the Centre so that we can confirm your attendance. Oh, and don’t forget to bring a seat. During the afternoon you will see many of our Riders, aided by their Helpers and Carers, demonstrating their skills in a serious and fun way too. Whilst I’m biased, I think you will be very much impressed and informed from the day. Thinking back at the expense of entering competitions, Looey Durling, one of our Helpers has entered into the London 10K Sponsored Run which takes place on Sunday, 11th July. If you would like to help the Centre by supporting Looey please contact us on the usual number. Your support will be very welcome, and I might even let you have a canter on me……is that an incentive……perhaps, perhaps not? Website: www.rda-east.org.uk/shelley.html Telephone: 01473.824172

Hadleigh Cricket Club – 231 Not Out Hadleigh Cricket Club can trace its history back over 230 years – making it not only one of the oldest cricket clubs in Suffolk, but one of the few that pre-date the MCC itself. This year the Friars Road club is celebrating a belated but well deserved bicentenary and here club president Richard English and secretary Gary Wiles take a look at its long and fascinating history. In 1779, nineteen years into the reign of George III and ten years before the French Revolution, Hadleigh Cricket Club first ‘pitched stumps’. To put this date into a cricketing perspective, the MCC, the creators and custodians of the Laws of Cricket, was not founded until 1787. We know that the club was formed shortly after that of Nayland and before Ipswich and Sudbury. The first recorded match took place on September 29, 1779 - married men against bachelors, with the married men winning by ‘three notches’. The first detailed scorecard is of a two innings match away at Ipswich on 20th August 1788, with a return match nine days later. With the only form of transport being horse or foot, a match which involved travel outside of the town must have been quite a spectacle. The Ipswich team’s journey in 1788 was described thus: ‘the gentlemen of Ipswich made a very splendid appearance on the road to Hadleigh having no less than 19 horse chaises and headed by a coach & four with colours flying & music playing’. Four more games are recorded between 1800 and 1850. At this time boundaries did not exist, bowling was underarm, bats were not sprung and there were no protective pads, gloves or protection for the nether regions. Not for nothing was cricket called ‘the manly game’! During the later 19th century the club’s regular opponents included Stoke by Nayland, Stratford and Dedham, Hintlesham, Bildeston and Ipswich & East Suffolk. Games against the latter were played on the hallowed turf of Portman Road, then called Portman Marshes. A match there in 1859 was long thought to be the club’s earliest recorded fixture. 1896 fixture card, We are not certain where the club played its including ‘Stabling at home games during this period, but the most the White Hart’ likely location would seem to be ‘Mutton Meadow’, in the area now occupied by Meadows Way. This was a two acre, 1 rod and 35 perche field owned by one Caleb Kersey who also owned the Shoulder of Mutton inn on the High Street. The 1839 Tithe Map of Hadleigh shows the siting of both meadow and public house, and several scoresheets mention ‘Dinner at the Shoulder of Mutton at 6pm.’ The club first played at Friars Road, then called Cemetery Road, in 1893. It is not known how the land was acquired but The White Hart, perfectly situated, was surely not an insignificant factor! The pub naturally became the club house, as we know from an 1896 fixture card. The driving forces of the club at this time were the Wilson and Grimwade families, W. M. Nunn, captain for many years, Dr Franey and A. C. King, father of Ken King, the club’s oldest surviving skipper. Chisnall, Cobbold and Kistruck are some of the familiar surnames that appear in scorebooks. The memories of Vic Salmon, a future club captain, paint an evocative scene of the club during the early 1900s. The pavilion was a wooden shed, the square cut by hand mower and outfield rolled by a horse drawn heavy roller, the horses wearing protective leather shoes. The outfield was ‘cut’ by either Red Poll cows or a flock of sheep. It may come as a surprise to learn that the Edwardian club regularly employed a professional. But the social distinctions that divided the first-class game into ‘gentlemen and players’ were also in evidence at Hadleigh. Professionals were not deemed worthy of having The Meadow in the 1920s, a very familiar initials before their scene. Note the buildings where the surname in scoresheets. Babergh offices now stand. 26

They would be expected to work on the ground and bowl to order to members requiring a net. A pro called Lambe was one of Hadleigh’s most formidable. 1906 was ‘Lambe’s slaughtering season’ - he won games almost by himself, taking 109 wickets and perhaps more impressively scoring 589 runs on pitches that would 1906 team, featuring the ‘ be way below today’s slaughterer Lambe’ standards. During the Great War no cricket was played at the Meadow, but several members saw active service. A. C. King served as a despatch rider in Mesopotamia and R. P. Keigwin, who played for Essex and Gloucestershire, was a Lieutenant on HMS Indomitable, being present at the surrender of the German fleet. The club did not get back on its feet until well into the 1920s. The inter-war years were distinguished by the captaincy of A. C. King and the performances of players like Jack Seggar, a fine bowler and the club’s long standing groundsman. In 1938 came one of the most important events in the club’s history - the purchase of the ground by the club by means of a bank loan, and the Declaration of Trust which accompanied the sale. This important document declared that the cricket meadow ‘should be used as a recreation ground in perpetuity and that the Club, while it exists, shall have use of the ground’. Once again war stopped play for the best part of a decade. The ground was used by the Army and one of their huts would be inherited by the club as a makeshift pavilion. The first post-war captain was Vic Salmon, a Somme veteran and member of the Hadleigh Home Guard. Times were hard, but the pictures and characters speak of happy times at the Meadow. Salmon was followed as skipper during the Fifties by the likes of Harold ‘Tolly’ Beer, Sydney Brown, Ken King, Bernard English and Peter Girling. A second or ‘A’ team was formed, and Dorothy Claireaux saw it all unfold in her first spell as the club’s longest serving scorer.
The Suffolk league-winning side of 1974, arguably the club’s finest. The 1960s and 1970s were arguably the club’s golden age - or perhaps it just seems that way because they were the prime, the formative years or within living memory of so many current members? Great progress was made both on and off the pitch. The building of the current pavilion in 1965 replaced the old Army hut and brought new revenue, comfort and atmosphere. It has since been extended twice. However, away games were still not complete without ‘last orders’ in the Hart! The 1st team of the early to mid-70s, featuring the talents of Roy Plumbly, Richard English, David Clifford and Gary Girling, won the Suffolk league and were feared throughout the county. Playing fortunes have fluctuated in the last thirty years, but the club has continued to develop, expand its playing membership, stage ambitious fundraising events and play an important role in the community. As the club celebrates its past this summer with a series of notable events, including a match at Lord’s itself, it has arguably never had a more promising future. The club’s bicentenary brochure, ‘231 Seasons of Hadleigh Cricket 1779-2009’ is available from Keith Avis, The Idler and Partridges priced £10.
Hadleigh Rugby Club celebrate 25th Anniversary with massive exposure After two club houses burning down Hadleigh RFC celebrated this year with a gala 25th Anniversary Dinner held on the 8th May and a players naked calendar to help raise funds for a new club extension and the Teenage Cancer Trust. With other local clubs having formed up to 130 years ago, Hadleigh Rugby Club wasn’t formed until April 1984 after the Town Council placed an advertisement in the local newspaper calling for residents within the town to form a Hockey and Rugby club. Their first fixture was in September 1984, against Clacton 3rd xv and it was no surprise when they arrived with only 12 players and slumped to an embarrassing defeat. 25 years on, with a burgeoning youth section in excess of 150 kids, a growing social family membership and a first team back in winning form from the brink of extinction, the club is looking to a bright future. Part of that future is a proposed club house extension, and to try and raise funds for the building works the club have looked to their playing members (no pun intended) to step up to the plate and get their kit off. Former club chairman, player and organiser of the calendar, Neil Farrow said “Initially the lads were obviously a bit shy and only a few put their names down, but when I explained about the Teenage Cancer Trust - the charity we are supporting – the floodgates opened and they all came forward, young and old”. The Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) is in the middle of building a new ward at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, specifically for teenagers with cancer who would have otherwise had to be put into a children’s ward or an adult’s ward. Teenage Cancer Trust believes that teenagers should not have to stop being teenagers, just because they have cancer. The charity funds and develops specialist teenage cancer units within NHS hospitals which enable young people to be treated together, by an expert team, in the best possible environment. The charity’s legendary patron, The Who’s Roger Daltrey, CBE has been behind Teenage Cancer Trust’s concerts at the Royal Albert Hall from the start and the most recent, only six weeks ago, was the fastest selling concert at the venue ever. Roger said, “It’s immensely rewarding for me personally in these difficult financial times that these shows have been so successful. It’s obviously a reflection of the public’s support for teenagers in their time of need. Thanks to this charity, Britain leads the world in its treatment of teenagers with cancer. If you are an old club member/player or just want to meet up with some old drinking buddies you can get tickets to the 25th anniversary dinner from Jonny Squirrel 07788712753. You can also pre-register for the club 2011 ‘naked’ calendar, with donations going to the Teenage Cancer Trust, by emailing info@smashing.co.uk and heading it ‘Charity Naked Calendar’ leaving your details.

Hadleigh United Reformed Church, Market Place, Hadleigh, IP7 5DL The United Reformed Church is a national, mainstream Christian denomination with its roots in the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches. We worship one God, expressed in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We commit ourselves to Jesus in our worship and by loving and caring for all without exception. Here in Hadleigh we are a Member of Churches Together in Hadleigh and have good relationships with all the other Churches. We meet every Sunday morning at 10.30am and worship in an informal, but reverent manner, balancing the best of traditional and modern worship. At the same time there are activities in Sunday Club for children and young people of all ages. At other times of the week we meet for prayer, Bible Study and friendship. We are also very much involved in our community through the many activities that take place in our buildings, and especially through our links with the Ansell Community Centre. Baptism and more! Sunday 20th June On this Sunday evening at 6.30pm we will be holding a service which will include baptism by immersion, confirmation of promises and rededication of life to Jesus. Several of our young people will be taking part and the music will be lively and enthusiastic. Why not come along and see why Christian commitment is so important to young people today?
The Selfish Society This is the title of a recent book that suggests that as we become more interested in making money, we spend less time caring for our children, when they need it most. The result is children who grow and struggle to feel care and compassion for others. Jesus summarised the same problem in the words, “You cannot love God and money.” Acquiring money for our own pleasure is a selfish activity. Following Jesus is a self-giving act of love in which we are committed to giving ourselves for the sake of others. The signs of a selfish society are all around us – abuse, violence, crime, neglect and sleaze. Perhaps the book may is right and this is the result of a society obsessed with money. But, whatever the reason, we desperately need a society where love and compassion for others predominates. Jesus summed it up concisely, “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
What do you think....about sport ....over a drink? The football world cup gets underway this month. The 2012 Olympics are looming. Andy Murray might win at Wimbledon this year!!!! How important is sport to us as participants or as spectators? Is professional sport really sport or is it simply big business? When sport is so profitable, can it ever be free of charges of match fixing and bribery? Can watching sport be a safe conduit for release of aggression or does it result in violence? This is an informal discussion group for men, who want to talk about important issues. Come and enjoy a drink and air your ‘Pints of View’! We don't expect to have all the answers, but we do enjoy learning from the different insights that we each bring. Simply turn up to see what is going on. 8.00pm Wednesday 23rd June The George Public House (back room) All welcome!

From the Layham Archive
Letter from Layham Parish Council There was no council meeting last month. Instead the Annual Parish Meeting was held when members of the Council gave their reports to interested members of the public
A few weeks ago the Lesley Dolphin Show on BBC Radio Suffolk featured Layham and throughout the day, Lesley kept asking if anyone knew anything about the D’Oyly family – she had heard that a family with that name lived in the village at one time and she wondered if they may have been related to the D’Oyly Carte Opera company (producers of Gilbert and Sullivan operas). For hundreds of years, the countryside around Hadleigh and Layham was divided up into Manors each with a manor house and area of land. Sometimes the Lord of the manor lived in the manor house, sometimes he only visited occasionally and the estate was run by a manager. Overbury was one of two manors in Layham (the other was Netherbury) and for many years the D’Oyle family held the lordship. The first D’Oyly to arrive here (in 1553) married Elizabeth Brendish, the daughter of Thomas Brendish, Lord of the Manor at Toppesfield Hall in Hadleigh and they spent the rest of their lives at Overbury Hall.

Vandalism The Playing Field Management Committee raised £200 to pay for the football goal nets. Last year the cords were burned through in several different places (the culprits even left their lighter in the grass!) and over the winter John Millman repaired all the holes. Someone has been burning the cords again! Please ask your children if they know who it is and contact the Chairman of the committee if you have any information (823798).

Overbury hall as it was in Victorian times They had a son Henry D’Oyly who inherited the manor which then consisted of 267 acres of land with four farms and two mills. Henry had no children and when he died in 1588 Overbury passed to Edward D’Oyly his brother. Edward died around 1624 and the estate passed to his son and heir Thomas D’Oyly. Then in 1636 it passed to his son Peregrine D’Oyly who died in 1667. We are not sure what happened in the late 1600s but know that another Peregrine D’Oyly was the absentee lord of both Layham manors in 1725. It didn’t stop there as the Overbury estate passed to another Peregrine D’Oyly in 1764, yet another of the same name in 1804 and to a Charles D’Oyly in 1814 – until at least 1829, So Lesley Dolphin had heard correctly – the D’Oylys were in Layham for at least 276 years. The connection with the D’Oyly Carte opera company (founded by Richard Carte) is possible though not clearly proven. According to Wikipedia there is a distant connection in that Richard Carte took the middle name of his mother’s grandmother (D’Oyly) presumably to give himself a grand sounding name. His mother’s grandmother is recorded on Wikipedia as being a descendant of one of the Peregrine D’Oylys of Overbury Hall.

Layham Playgroup ‘Playgroup’s Countryside Capers!’ As ever our children have returned refreshed from the Easter holiday & have charged head long into a fantastic packed itinerary of fun & activities. Highlight so far has got to be our eagerly awaited visit to Partridges Farm Lower Layham. As part of our theme of ‘Spring’ & ‘The Countryside’ the children had a great morning at Partridges Farm courtesy of Kim & Charles, planting strawberries & sweetpeas in the poly tunnel, watching the tractor planting seedlings, new crops growing in the fields & meeting hens, ducklings, lambs & piglets. Rosie the pig was a big favourite! Dominic had us all in stitches!!! We will be visiting again soon to see if her new babies have arrived, the hens eggs have hatched & the yummy strawberries are ready for picking. Many thanks Kim & Charles for being such brilliant hosts. Back at the apple blossom festooned Village Hall we have been looking at the signs of spring & focussing on ‘life cycles’, including caring for caterpillars & frogspawn, planting seeds & nurturing the flowers & vegetables in our lovely garden. Indoor activities in the first half of the term have included a very popular space theme, where the childrens imagination has been galactic in it’s proportions! Role playing based on the book ‘Whatever next’, introducing the Planets & the idea of space travel has been a revelation to our little Buzz Lightyears. Behind the scenes plans are well advanced for our summer ‘Open Day’ on Tuesday 15th June, see separate advert for details, our AGM on Wednesday 9th June 7.30pm at ‘The Queens Head’, Lower Layham, including drinks & nibbles (lots) & not forgetting our summer outing for all children & parents/ carers to Easton Farm Park.

MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 8th April 2010 was confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING The Chair reported that nothing had been heard regarding planning decisions or the issue of Hadleigh Hall. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee noted the Officer Decisions taken for the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below:B/10/00212/FUL Hill Farm, Pond Hall Road Change of use of existing agricultural buildings to commercial stud and training livery including stables, tack room, store, kitchen, office and rest area. Erection of 3 no. stables and construction of ménage. Approval was recommended (Voting unanimous) B/10/00309/FUL Hadleigh United Football Club Change of use of the Clubhouse from D2 Use Class to a mixed Use comprising D1 and D2 Uses Classes. Approval was recommended (Voting unanimous) B/10/00332/RES Land South of Lady Lane and North of Tower Mill Lane Submission of details under O.P.P. B/06/01488/OUT – for access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for the erection of building for Class B8 use (storage & distribution) with ancillary offices, sunken goods yard and trade customer collection area. Refusal was recommended (Voting unanimous). Reasons: The Committee felt that this was inappropriate development in close proximity to a new housing estate. The scale of the building is wholly inappropriate. It was felt that as this would be on high land it will be visible from much of the town. Access will be via the new road rather than it being situated next to the by-pass. Worries were voiced regarding noise pollution and possible sewerage problems. There is no mention of any restrictions to lorry movements. B/10/00333/ADV Land South of Lady Lane and North of Tower Mill Lane Application for Advertisement Consent – Erection of 2 no. non-illuminated fascia signs. No decision was made on this application as the Committee decided there were not enough details within the plans. B/10/00373/ROC Oak Meadows, Woodlands Road, Raydon Removal of condition 02 (restriction of number of horses) under Planning Permission B/09/01497/FUL (Maximum number of horses = 5) PLEASE NOTE: HADLEIGH TOWN COUNCIL IS BEING CONSULTED ON THIS APPLICATION AS THE ADJOINING PARISH. The Committee noted receipt of this application and objections received from a near neighbour. The Committee would hope that the District Council will take note of the objections made. B/10/00400/FHA 19 Cottesford Close Erection of two-storey side extension (existing garage to be demolished) Approval was recommended (Voting unanimous) B/10/00408/FHA 3 Dunton Grove Erection of single storey front extension Approval was recommended (Voting unanimous) B/10/00417/ADV The Ironworks Units A & B Lady Lane Industrial Est Application for Advertisement Consent – Erection of 2 no. black and halo illuminated signs. Approval was recommended (Voting was 5 for and 1 abstention) B/10/00433/FHA 5 Grays Close Erection of a rear conservatory. Approval was recommended (Voting unanimous) B/10/00456/ADV 61 George Street Application for advertisement consent – installation of illuminated sign (retention of). Approval was recommended (Voting was 5 for and 1 abstention) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING This Schedule was noted, a copy of which is included in the Minute Book. B/09/00668/OUT – LAND EAST OF 37 ALDHAM ROAD
The Committee noted that an appeal has been made to the Secretary of State in respect of the above application. B/10/00038/ENF and B/10/00039/ENF HADLEIGH POST OFFICE AND 61 GEORGE STREET The Committee noted that a breach of Town Planning Control had occurred in respect of illuminated advertisements at the above premises. The Clerk reported that since receipt of this letter the Post Office had disconnected the electricity supply to their sign so it was no longer illuminated and a planning application for the illuminated advertisement at 61 George Street had been received and considered during the meeting. ANY OTHER RELEVANT BUSINESS It was reported to the Committee by Cllr Mrs M Munson that planning application number B/09/01309 White Lion High Street had been passed by Babergh DC on an officer delegated decision. The Committee were totally astounded that such a contentious application with many objections, including those of the Town Council, was allowed to be decided by a delegated decision. The Clerk was asked to write to Babergh DC expressing the Committees deep concerns over this and asking how a delegated decision was justified in this case as well as provision of a set of criteria as to how the Planning Department decides on which applications are sent to Development Committee and which are given to officers for delegated decisions. Whilst writing the Clerk was also asked to bring up the other issues such as unanswered e-mails and why there seemed to be a lack of communication from the District Council to the Town Council. There being no further business the meeting closed at 8:30pm. Mrs Carol A. Bailey BA (Hons) – Town Clerk

Film Review with Mat Lucas
Hot Tub Time Machine (15, 100mins, Steve Pink) BAFTA nominated director Steve Pink looks to wow audiences with his new, cool and slightly different comedy. 2012 front man John Cusack is joined by Clark Duke (Sex Drive, Kick-Ass), Craig Robinson (Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Pineapple Express) and Rob Corddry (Blades of Glory, What Happens in Vegas) who, between them, have completed a large number of successful comedy films. The budget is an estimated $36 million, which is an unusually large budget for a standard duration comedy film. Hot Tub Time Machine follows Adam (Cusack), his friends Nick (Robinson) and Lou (Corddry) and his nephew Jacob (Duke) as they manage to end up back in time. The inclusion of Jacob is an interesting one, as most friend orientated comedies tend not to use relatives other than siblings or perhaps parents. And it is Jacob who supplies the funniest moments, starting from his first scene all the way through the film. Lynne Carrow and Susie Farris, both head of casting, should be credited for the choices made. Not only is Clark Duke perfect for the role of Jacob, but Robinson, Corddry and even Cusack seem very well suited to their roles. Cusack, who isn’t especially known for this type of comedy film, is perfectly balanced as Adam the sensible leader against the outrageous Lou. The narrative is only sporadically original, although in this case that is just about enough to hold the film together. On the other hand the regularity of comedic scenes is more than enough to entertain an audience which probably was not expecting anything too deep from a film entitled Hot Tub Time Machine. Even this title is played with as Nick, shortly after he mutters the title, looks at the camera with a stare which seems to say ‘really?’. Overall there is a guarantied cluster of laughs awaiting anyone who wants to revisit the past. Clark Duke does well to hold together his performance considering his experience of the 1980s is slightly limited. Finally, the film looks to evoke maximum laughter from the inevitable severance of one character’s arm, which builds and builds throughout the film. Hot Tub Time Machine is a barrel of laughs for anyone who either likes the stars cast, or who likes the name of the title. Unfortunately for Cusack, his role as top man is overshadowed by the three superior comedy pros by his side. Personal judgement A very well thought out and executed piece of comedy, but nothing more.

News from St Mary’s School Share Day and St Mary’s Marathon – Friday 30 April On Friday 30 April we held a second very successful Share Day on the theme of ‘Britain’. Special thanks must go to Mrs Powell, one of our Teaching Assistants and Foundation Governor, who prepared a range of activities for children to do – including collages of a dragon, a lepracorn and daffodils. Younger children decorated buns in the colours of the Union Flag and also made flowers, crowns, shields and mini dragons. Older pupils took part in some Highland Games, and also completed some challenges in groups. During the morning KS1 did their activities in the hall, while in the afternoon, KS2 completed theirs. Staff and family members helped children with the activities and we were pleased to also welcome Jacqui Loose, South Suffolk Share Co-ordinator and her daughter plus Alister Gourlay, Deputy Diocesan Director of Education for the Diocese, in his kilt!

Midway through the morning, everyone joined together to complete the St Mary’s Marathon, on the school field. Miss Pryke led a warm up for everyone in the hall, and then we all made our way to the field to complete 26 laps of various coloured and sized rings. We are very fortunate here at St. Mary’s to have lots of open space and we thought we would use this facility to get all of the School involved to both have fun through exercise and to raise money for our new Courtyard. The refurbished courtyard is beginning to take shape and we hope the work will be completed by the end of this term, ready for the new academic year. More information and pictures next month!

Election Day – St Mary’s School, Thursday 6 May 2010 The children in Year 5 and 6 at St Mary’s organised their own election on May 6. They very clearly explained to the rest of the school why they thought their issue was the most important, these included: Environment; Economy; Looking after the Elderly; Education; Health; Sport and Culture; Defence; Law and Order; Immigration and Energy. After these presentations, every child in the school was given a voting slip and a chance to cast a vote. The results showed that the majority thought Law and Order was the most important issue that the new government should sort out first, followed by the environment in second place. Lots of colourful bar charts and pie charts clearly showed how the vote was shared. Congratulations to Niamh Dedman, William Hart, Abi Simpson and Oliver Smith, who put their ideas forward so clearly and persuasively.

Mock Election…

We have our final assembly for them on the 27th May where we celebrate the successes and achievements they have had as well as sharing the many positive experiences and memories they have shared since being at the school. We are proud of the young adults they have become and are confident that they will contribute positively to any community in which they live and work locally, nationally and even globally! In a month or so we welcome the pupils who will be joining us in September as Year 7. This is always an exciting time for pupils as they come to the end of their primary education. Our staff have been visiting the primary schools to meet pupils. I have also been visiting our primary partners to meet pupils and see the learning they are undertaking. I look forward to welcoming our new pupils to our learning community.

Not to be outdone by the General Election, Hadleigh High School has recently held its own election within the school. Four parties were represented: the Conservative Party, the Green Party, Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The MPs who represented each party were: Jack Upson from the Green Party, Josh Kemp, the Labour Party, Nathan Dickson denoted the Liberal Democrats, and finally representing the Conservative party was Vlad Velicka. The votes were extremely close as the party that came second and first were separated by just one vote! However, after three recounts Nathan Dickson for the Liberal Democrats managed to seal the deciding vote that lifted them into first place leaving Vlad Velicka from the Conservative Party in a close second. Hadleigh High School pupils were supported by the local community as they gave out rosettes, badges, posters, and various other campaign equipment, to help the students with their bids. We are extremely grateful for their help with this event. The organiser of this successful event was Hadleigh High School’s Head of PSHE teacher, Miss Cook. She helped our young political students count the votes and commented on the success of the event. Miss Cook stated that; “It has been an excellent experience for the pupils who took part and it has enriched their political knowledge for the future.” Thank you to everyone who participated in this educational event.

Music, music, and more music... Recently, the Music department has been overrun with excitement. There has been a plethora of events and also a lot of anticipation for upcoming events, such as the Wind Band tour, Steel Pictures gig at the Regent, and a few gigs for bands such as the HHS Swing Band and the Voice Squad. On Thursday 13th May, the Sports Hall was the venue for the HHS Summer Concert, with many people attending this prestigious event. The concert played host for many talented soloists, who went through rigorous auditions to gain a spot to perform for the audience. There were also group performances from the excellent Swing Band, Voice Squad, Orchestra, and, last but not least, the strangely relaxing Crumhorn Group. Overall, the evening was a brilliant success for both audience and performers alike, with the night ending on a high with the prestigious Swing Band playing Tequila. We want to say a big thank you to the Hadleigh High School Association for providing drinks and refreshments for the guests. The concert could not have gone ahead without the marvellous contribution of Hadleigh High School’s pupils and staff.
French Spelling Competition… Recently many Year 7 students took part in a French Spelling Competition. Congratulations to the winners who were: Ellenor Norman (7A), Rebecca Chitty (7D), Andrew Bray (7H) and Oscar Vardon-Barber (7E). Following this great achievement they are all off to Cambridge on Wednesday 7th July to take part in a regional competition, well done to them all!
Sports Report… Football With the football league’s completion the Year 8 team and Year 9 team both finished the league in 4th place leaving plenty of improvements for next year. Year 10 however have had a perfect season with no points being dropped in the league and scoring a total of 35 goals whilst conceding just 5. They will also be looking to defend their title as Suffolk champions playing in the finals of the John Turner County Cup on Friday the fourteenth of May. A win here would sum up an absolutely phenomenal season for the gods!
Athletics Competition We are hoping that our athletics teams can replicate the stunning form they showed last season, in various upcoming athletics competitions. Years 7, 9 & 10 will be taking part at the annual athletics festival at RHS whereas Year 8 will be participating at a similar event at Northgate High School. Success has already been achieved by some of our pupils in athletics outside of school, as you can probably guess Kieran Clements is still astounding mentors with his unbelievable stamina. He recently improved his 3000m time to 8mins 43secs. What an achievement!! Sunday 9th May saw the staging of this year’s AAAs Suffolk Championships, again competing in the 3000m Kieran Clements finished 1st with a new championship record of 8mins 42secs. Toby Rankin finished 1st in the 800m in his age group with a new personal best of 2min 17secs. Well done to both students.
Mark Robson. They were split into four groups, art, proofreading, editing, and marketing. Each group was set a task: the artwork group had to redesign a cover for one of Mark’s previous books; the proofreading were given a first draft of a chapter and had to Mark Robson works with Year 9 spot as many mistakes as possible in the text; the editing group were also given a draft of one of Mark’s chapters and had to try and improve the story line (it’s much harder than it sounds!); and finally the marketing team had a budget of £10,000 to spend and work out the best way to advertise the book - they even rang a magazine company! The workshop went down well and students felt that they learnt a great deal about the publishing industry.
Get working… Our Year 10 students will be doing their Work Experience from Monday 14th June to Friday 24th June. This will be an excellent opportunity to make the pupils realise what jobs they prefer and which ones they wouldn’t like to do in the future. Most of the places have been sorted, however there are still a few to sort. This will be an excellent opportunity for students to get a ‘taster’ of working life.

Memories: As dawn broke on 6th June 1944, Europe was still in the cast iron grip of Nazism. The seemingly impregnable Atlantic Wall still held strong. The end of the War seemed a distant hope. However, by the end of that same day, the skill and courage of Britsh and Allied Forces had established a precious foothold back in France. It was to be the beginning of the end of the Second World War. Eventually, after much hard fighting and many casualties The Allies broke out of the beach head and drove the German forces back across France, Belgium and Holland to the very borders of Germany itself. We must also remember the men through their ingenuity and mechanical skill produced those specialised weapons which greatly assisted the landings, the “D Day Funnies”. The 79th Special Armoured Division, Commanded by Gen Sir Percy Hobart developed the Dual Drive Sherman Tanks that could swim ashore, what a surprise those German soldiers had to see Tanks coming out the sea with all guns blazing. The Flame Throwing and Flail Tanks, all helped the skill and bravery of the troops to win through. Sixty six years on, We Remember Them. In 1944 those brave young men swept ashore, the Battle of France to win, They then drove those Nazi Panzers back, the Battle of Germany to begin, A Battle they would eventually, also win. Peter R.

Mum Loses Four Stone In Four Months A MOTHER of two is delighted she has lost more than four stone in just four months. Terri has dropped from 18 stone to 14 stone, going from size 20 to size 14 in just 17 weeks and is looking forward to a great summer wearing her favourite clothes. Terri decided to deal with her excess weight once and for all & contacted Independent Cambridge Consultant Val Lord for help. Terri started a programme replacing her food with tasty shakes, soups and chocolate bars and watched the weight fall off. She is totally thrilled with what she has achieved so far and aims to drop another 3 sizes before the end of the summer. Val Lord became a Cambridge Consultant after achieving her own life-changing weight loss in 2008 and now runs her diet practice from her home in Buxhall. The diet works by replacing conventional food with very low calorie but highly nutritious, soups, shakes and chocolate bars to provide everything the body needs to remain healthy. The body then utilises its stored fat for energy and the pounds just melt away. After the first few days the dieter is not hungry and seeing the dial on the scales go down is the best motivation of all. If you would like Val to help you lose your excess weight and regain control of your life in the process she can be contacted at cambridgeweightplan.com/ValL or on 01449 737113 / 07519 177645.

Two film presentations in June! Pupils in year 9 at Hadleigh High School will be coming to the Ansell Centre to watch “Rabbit Proof Fence” on the afternoon of June 18th so we have booked it for “Hollywood in Hadleigh” in the evening. If the weather stays as cold in June as at the time of writing this article we are confident many people will opt for a night at the “cinema” rather than a barbecue!
RABBIT PROOF FENCE (PG) £3 (accompanied children £2) FRIDAY 18th JUNE at 7.30 pm This is a true story of Australian Native people and one of the ways in which they have been mistreated by European settlers. The film is based on the book “Follow the Rabbit-proof fence” by Doris Pilkington Garimara, and tells the harrowing yet lifeaffirming story of Molly, Daisy and Gracie, three mixed-race girls who were taken from an Aboriginal group and sent 1.500miles away to the Moore River Native Settlement. Kenneth Branagh gives a chilling performance as A O Neville, British Chief Protector of Aborigines, with a remit to seek out lightskinned children, supposedly the result of interbreeding between the two races. Once in this camp they are refused the right to speak their native languages, and to keep any cultural activity except the new European way! This film centres on these three children who escape from the camp and against all odds trek for nine weeks along 1,500 miles of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community at Jigalong. You will find Hollywood in Hadleigh in the Ansell Centre

MORRIS: A LIFE WITH BELLS ON (12) £3 (accompanied children £2) FRIDAY 25th JUNE at 7.30 pm
The Full Monty with Bells on! “ Morris: A Life with Bells on” was released in 2009 and became a cult film, but has never had a mainstream release in cinemas. WHY? Read on, and get the full story! Early last year the Daily Telegraph gave an enthusiastic review of this film, almost demanding to know why no large distribution deal had been obtained. In fact “Morris” was predicted to become the 2009 ‘sleeper hit’ in the tradition of “The Full Monty” or “Billy Elliot”. The film’s website attracted 100,000 visits every week, all wanting to know where they could see this film, augmented by a 3,000 signature petition demanding a mainstream release. Sadly, however, the film did not achieve universal coverage and it was left to the small touring cinemas that operate in the West Country to cement this as a cult film. However, your film committee felt that Morris was an ideal film for Hadleigh and opened negotiations with Twist films who produced it. Once larger selected independent cinemas began to present this film, we were delighted to receive a licence for a showing. MORRIS is a heart-warming feature length shot in documentary format that follows the fortunes of one of the leading Morris teams in the country, Millsham Morris, and in particular those of its avant garde leader, Derecq Twist. On one hand Derecq is a traditionalist and yet on the other he attempts to pioneer a new form of Morris dancing called Extreme Morris, ruffling the feathers of the more traditional Morris men in the process ! This home grown production which stars Sir Derek Jacobi has a notable absence of big names among the cast. Chaz Oldham who plays the lead as Twist wrote and produced the film - an England as an idyllic one, with rolling green hills and thatched cottages to create a warm glow of perpetual summer. This is a pure escapist, warm-hearted film that comes with a ”health” warning - there is no violence, no sex, no nudity and all the film’s characters are good, decent people! Do arrive early to book your seat, and depart at the end knowing that you have seen a rather special film in 2010!

To be sure of your free place, please contact the library on 01473 823778. Take part in the Suffolk Quick Big Read. Suffolk's Big Quick Read was launched on March 4th 2010. The book for the Quick Read is Hello Mum by Bernardine Evaristo. We want as many people as possible across Suffolk to read it and share what they think about it. The themes of ‘Hello Mum’ are contemporary, challenging and realistic but should resonate with people across several generations and hopefully provide much material for discussion. The book follows a strong tradition of writing on the subjects of gangs, violence and peer pressure e.g. Romeo and Juliet, Brighton Rock, Rumble Fish, Lord of the Flies. The book never glorifies or promotes this part of its subject matter but encourages an awareness of these perennial issues and an understanding of their impact on young people today. The author, Bernardine Evaristo is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Literature and Royal Society of Arts and was awarded an MBE in 2009 for services to literature. Her other works include a range of poetry and prose which will again widen her appeal to different readers. Free copies will be available from Hadleigh Library. We have a new collection of books called ‘Twilight’. If you’ve enjoyed Stephanie Meyer, you’re sure to enjoy this collection of supernatural thrillers by a variety of authors. Werewolves, vampires and sinister happenings will keep you gripped with adventures into the dark side! Don’t be afraid, pick one up today. Toptime for the over 55s every Wednesday 10.30am - 12.00pm.

Primary School Wins National Competition Hintlesham and Chattisham Primary School have beaten off stiff competition from around the country, to win a trip to Center Parcs for all 20 of their children in Years 5 and 6. The children won the exciting prize by entering a competition featured in the children’s newspaper ‘First News.’ The competition required the children to draw, paint or take a picture of their favourite nature scene, taking note of colours and textures. Hintlesham and Chattisham Primary’s winning artist Annie, (Year 5), created a spectacular painting, using oils and depicting a scene of young chicks waiting to be fed, while also cleverly incorporating the Center Parcs logo. Head teacher Mrs Cross said: “We’ve always know that Annie is a very talented artist and feel that the award is well deserved.”

Hadleigh & District Garden Club Oh dear, what can I say about the talk last Monday evening on weather forecasting given by Radio Suffolks Steve Western, you see if I understood it all myself it might help. Seriously it was an incredibly interesting talk, taking in the difference between Climate Change and so called Global Warming. The effects of volcanos (very much in the public eye as the Icelandic one was causing trouble to air travel once again) whether under water or on land with devastating tsanamis or possible damage to aircraft, local communities etc. We were shown various graphs showing weather-trends, temperatures going back many hundreds of years and told how, when and where data is collected for media forcasts. From there we moved on to what the future might hold and on to James Lovelock and his controversial ecological theory expounded in his books. the main point seeming to be that the world is a single living entity which will ultimately cure itself of the disease afflicting it - i.e.mankind! Steve prescribes to the idea that there will be another ice age, which will, of course, fulfill Lovelocks theory by getting rid of a considerable proportion of said mankind and so cure the enviroment of the excesses that various ages have inflicted upon it by a sustained period under ice. this is - of course, not universally accepted - the “ice age” that is - but made for an interesting evening on an enormous subject. We were assured it is nothing for this generation and many, many more to come to worry about. Personally as a gardener and considerably “long in the tooth”, my weather forecasting is just a case of studying the sky at sunset and is quite as accurate as any in the media! Our next meeting on Thursday 3rd June will be visits to some members gardens finishing with supper. Phone me for details, Ruth Allen 822323

Hadleigh Gardens Open Gardens Sunday June 13th Woodwards Coddenham Sunday June 20th Monksfield House The Green Monks Soham Sunday June 20th 428 Norwich Rd Ipswich Saturday June 26th Larks Hill Tuddenham Sunday June 27th Valley Farm Barn Combs Lane Combs Ford Personal Thoughts The talk on "Weather Forecasting and Climate Change" given at the May meeting of the Garden Club by Steve Western of Weather Quest was very interesting, but also to me disappointing. He concentrated on what factors drive the Climate, that is average weather over many years. Keen gardeners are interested in is what perennial plants and shrubs can they invest in with a reasonable chance of them surviving the Winter, and whether the next few Summers will give us enough rain so that our favourite plants will not be killed by drought. I got slightly caught out by the late frost. I had my sprouting dahlia tubers in a cold frame, and the frost was hard enough to kill leaves that were touching the glass. Amongst the plants I lost during the Winter were a few cacti, including one or two that I had had for at least ten years. This was not too surprising as they live in my greenhouse, and it is only kept frost free. This is marginal for a lot of cacti, but most of the ones I grow will survive providing they are kept really dry for the winter. If you want your cacti to flower now is the time to buy them because if you buy them as small samples in flower, and you look after them you can virtually guarantee that they will give spectacular flowers year after year. I have recently being enjoying the flowering of Mammillaria Carmenae which I bought in 1989 in a 6cm pot and now fills a 16 cm pot. Weather Records In April we had 11.6 mm (0.5") of rain. This is a barely 1/5 of the average. We have now had 2 rather dry months and the rolling 3 month figure has dropped to 121.6 mm (4.8") which is below average. I am finding it necessary to water some shallow rooted plants like polyanthus. In mid May the ground temperature is 10 Cel (50F) so the cool weather in Mid May is holding growth back a bit. The maximum temperature in April was 22 Cel (72F) and the minimum was 1 Cel (34F). These are quite typical maximum and minimum temperatures for April. Hints By June plants have been bought and planted, and most seedling have been raised, so to a large extent gardening moves into a maintenance phase. Plants need to have adequate water and feed, and insect pests need to be kept under control, but the peak in gardening work is over. There are optional things that one can do. For example one can get bigger rose blooms by removing side buds on a stem, and if you have space you can lift and divide polyanthuses and primroses so that you have more plants for next years display. Many flowering plants will give you extra flowers if you remove the dead flowers before the plant uses its energy to make seed. June is not too late to sow seeds of many vegetables, particularly with things like lettuce when you want a continuous supply. John Rye

Hadleigh Healing Society
Gustofer Yellowgold comes to Suffolk
What does compassion mean to you? According to the dictionary it means: sympathy, empathy, concern, kindness, consideration and care. Some days it feels like that these traits are in very short supply when you listen to the news and read newspapers. In today’s society it is considered a weakness to show sympathy etc to others by some. What example does it show our children if we, as adults, are not compassionate. Children are the future and will help shape the world, hopefully, make it a better and safer place to live. You ask what does this mean to me. If you feel no-one listens and understands your problems, we, the healers, are there to listen to you. We may not be able to give you all the answers but at least someone has paid attention to you, all in the strictest confidence. Let us help you. Telephone for an appointment: 01473 823282 or log on to www.hadleighhealingsociety.org.
From New York GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD’S SHOW – a multimedia “musical moving storybook” concert experience for all ages, and RACHEL LOSHAK, Suffolk native singer/bassist who has performed with the likes of Norah Jones and Moby – will both be coming to Suffolk this summer, bringing with them some family-focused sunshine and original English folk sensibility. The two shows will be performed at the Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa on 10th July and 14th August. On 10th July at 10.30am GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD’S SHOW will entertain all ages with his multi-media show of projected animated illustrations and live music. The New York Times said, “The show is a cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” Tickets are just £5 each for adults and children. Based in New York, and named “Best Kids’ Performer” by New York Magazine, Morgan Taylor developed the Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and minimally animated movie. A natural storyteller with a comedic bent, Taylor has dreamed up a whole world of catchy and original story-songs about Gustafer (a friendly creature who came to Earth from the sun), performing alongside a large screen displaying vividly colored animations with karaoke-style subtitles. Gustafer lives out an explorer’s life in a slightly psychedelic version of the Minnesota woods, where he resides in a cottage with his menagerie of friends, including a pet eel, a tuxedowearing pterodactyl, and a dragon named Asparagus who inhabits the fireplace and loves corn on the cob. For recreation, Gustafer enjoys jumping on desserts, especially cake. Gustafer Yellowgold is not just for kids! Possessing an unusual crossover appeal, the show has performed as the support act for Wilco and The Polyphonic Spree. Gustafer recently made his NYC off-Broadway debut in a new production, Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Sensation. Tours to performing arts centers, concert halls, theatres, festivals, museums, libraries, and cinemas have taken Gustafer across the U.S., building his cult status among cool thirtysomething parents. Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, praised by Newsweek as “full of great pop tunes and hand-drawn animation about a li’l fella from the sun.” The Los Angeles Times enthused, "Taylor’s whimsical, lightly psychedelic world forms an interesting bridge between adult and kids’ music.” The Chicago Tribune wrote, “Gustafer Yellowgold has made kids’ music so cool that teenagers and ultra-hip bands such as Wilco want to get in on the act … a shiny blend of pop art and pop tunes.” Parenting magazine called Gustafer “The coolest little space invader since E.T. … a hip and trippy sunsation. Parental warning: You, too, will become hooked on the tunes.” Morgan Taylor was a recent Grand Prize-winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Then on 14th August at 6pm at the Stoke by Nayland Hotel there will be A SUMMER EVENING OF FAMILY FUN, FOOD AND MUSIC with Gustafer Yellowgold’s show plus a performance from New York-based singer/songwriter, Rachel Loshak What makes Singer/Bassist, Rachel Loshak’s music and sound so special is her sophisticated, orchestral approach to traditional pop music. Imagine a string quartet stripped of its native instruments and handed electric guitars and amplifiers. Melodic bass figures move like a boogied cello weaving with her pure and bell-toned voice. Rachel moved to New York City in the late Nineties from Suffolk and honed her songwriting craft with her unique ‘bass and voice’ style. Rachel has created three full-length LP’s (Firefly in 2001, Mint in 2003 and Peach Pony in 2005). The latest LP features a duet with Norah Jones. Peach Pony has been released in several international territories to critical acclaim. Performing with Ms. Jones at the Grammy Awards in 2005, Rachel is also featured alongside her (and with Jesse Harris) on the Best of the Living Room compilation released in 2002. Rachel has also recorded and performed with Moby. Having toured internationally in the U.S.A., Ireland, the U.K., France, Germany, Scandinavia and South Korea, Rachel has come home to Suffolk this summer for this double bill event with her husband’s family performance, for which she and Taylor founded their business, Apple-Eye Productions (partly named after the apple farm at Boxford where she grew up). Morgan and Rachel now live in the Catskills, NY U.S.A. with their son, Harvey. Tickets to include food are £15 for adults and £10 for children. For more information or to order tickets please contact Stoke by Nayland Hotel reception on 01206 265800 or email sales@stokebynayland.com

In Memory of Tess “They will not go quietly, the dogs who’ve shared our lives. In subtle ways they let us know their spirit still survives. Old habits still make us think we hear a barking at the door. Or step back when we drop a tasty morsel on the floor Our feet still go around the place the food dish used to be, And, sometimes, coming home at night, we miss them terribly. And although time may bring new friends and a new food dish to fill, That one place in our hearts belongs to them…. and always will.”

Hadleigh Evening WI April 2010 On behalf of fellow members the President Philippa Carruthers welcomed two new members Jean Madge and Maureen Moreland and visitors Biddy Forsyke and Jan Dicks to the April 2010 meeting of Hadleigh Evening WI. The speaker Catherine Dell gave a power point presentation entitled “Travelling through Spain in the footsteps of the author Laurie Lee”, based on his autobiographical book "As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning" in which he narrates details of his two year journey from his home in Strad through England, France and into Spain where he hiked across the country from Vigo to Granada. In the book Laurie vividly described Spain through the eyes of a young man. Catherine has retraced his steps through Spain and compiled a presentation to include a description of the terrain, the cities and the circumstances and hardships suffered by poor people which led up to the outbreak of the Spanish civil war in 1936 when Laurie was evacuated from the country by a Royal Navy ship. Catherine judged the competition a Spanish Momento won by Rona Dyer with a Spanish tile. Laurie Lee is Joan Rudman’s favourite author. Giving an expression of thanks she spoke of her visit to Stroud where Laurie was born and Slad, where he was brought up, rural life that was vividly described in his novel Cider with Rosie . May The highlight of May is the Hadleigh show. Many thanks to the many who visited our tent, where we were joined by Polstead, Bures and Boxford WIs. Along with the cakes, jams and savouries, which sold out, were many craft items both for sale and display. The Charity and May meeting raffle has raised nearly £300 for the Tree House Appeal for the Ipswich Childrens’ Hospice. At the meeting Hadleigh Evening were joined by Elmsett and Aldham. WI Adviser Sue Beavan led a discussion on this years Resolution urging HM Government to make mandatory the clear labelling of meat, poultry and fish products with the country of origin. There was general approval with a few abstentions but no one against. The 2011 WI National meeting is being held in Cardiff on 2 June where Philippa Carruthers will be attending as delegate and voting on behalf of members. Business over everyone settled down to a quiz on parts of the body provided by Ann Porter. Sue Beavan accompanied by her mother Isobel scored the highest marks. Summer is a time for outings. Patricia Stevenson is arranging a visit to Carters vinyard and Maraday Robinson a trip to Bressingham gardens. Next months meeting will be held on 15 June in the Seminar suite above the Hadleigh library starting at 7.30 pm. Well known local speaker Bill Baston will be talking about the birds of East Anglia. Visitors and new members are welcome. Philippa Carruthers 01473 823057

Dear Sir I am sorry that Louisa Heath (HCN Letters, April) felt the need to express her ‘displeasure’ and ‘disbelief’ at Babergh’s investment in brand new play equipment in the park area off Meadows Way. I hope the following few lines allay her concerns about the work, the fate of the old equipment and the robustness of the new. The old equipment was nearly 30 years old and in spite of careful and ongoing maintenance by Babergh it had really come to the end of its useful life. That is why we have now installed brand new equipment including a climbing/ slide unit specifically for under-5s and a more advanced climber and swing for older children. The existing swings, seesaws and spinners remain in the park. The old equipment was indeed repainted in September of last year and this was needed to ensure it was still usable over the winter months prior to the new facilities being installed in the spring. The logs and metalwork from the removed equipment has indeed been recycled in accordance with the contractor’s own environmental policy. Far from being ‘less substantial’ as Ms Heath claims the new equipment is guaranteed against structural failure for ten years. Babergh sincerely hopes that the new equipment is enjoyed by the children of Hadleigh! Stewart Schleip, Open Space Manager , Babergh District Council
Dear Sir Where are they now? Along with 3 other boys in 1954 I passed the 11 plus examination to go to Sudbury Grammar School. I have settled in Yorkshire having left Hadleigh in 1960 and travelled the world as a member of the forces. I have family in Hadleigh and try to make a couple of trips a year to see them. The 3 were Denis Stroud, John Cresswell, Tommy Goodluck. Sadly Tommy is no longer with us. John Cresswell joined the Royal Navy but I lost contact with him shortly after Denis went to University and I did not see him again as I was on my travels. I would like through the medium of your magazine to ask either to contact me for a chat if they are still in the area. My e-mail address is rich4den@tiscali.co.uk. Richard Caley 01977 643540
Dear Sir Through local community engagement, and regular meetings with the Hadleigh Town Council we acknowledge and recognise the importance of regularly enforcing the many parking restrictions around Hadleigh, particularly in the High Street. Currently we are very privileged to have three free car parks in extreme close proximity to the High Street and it is rare that a space cannot be found in one of these for those members of the public wanting to shop in our Town. There would appear to be a myth that would suggest we do not enforce parking restrictions, or that some of the yellow lines that are painted on our roads are not legal. These statements are wrong. As detailed in the monthly article from the Police Station, we do target parking
Dear Sir Due to the polling on Thursday 6th May, St Mary’s School reception class had to lose a day off of school due to their classroom being used as the polling station. This would be fine but due to the fact that East House still sits empty and has been a polling station before why can't that be used instead so the reception class can still go to school and have their normal day. Some of the children have learning issues and routine is paramount. Who's idea was this ? Martin Bignall, Hadleigh
Dear Sir With reference to the recent display in the town’s library to mark 90 years of the Hadleigh Amateur Dramatic Society I would like to thank all who contributed their personal collections, memories, souvenirs and treasures; especially Beryl Allen, Bryan Haylock, Judy Saunders, Niki Seager, Martine Walter, and Geoff Wilding. As a relative newcomer to Hadleigh, without their help it would have been a non-event. Thanks too, to U3A for the loan of the display boards and to Sarah Hunt and Library personnel for accommodating the mini-exhibition in their workplace. The Dress Agency kindly loaned one of the display mannequins; the other, plus choice of Dames Costume, was courtesy of HADS wardrobe mistress, Lesley Doidge. I hope that the display brought back many happy memories and that it will also encourage readers to join HADS in further celebrations planned for this year. Watch HCN for details. Jan Devey
Dear Sir I am writing to tell you i loved the May Show this year, especially the rides at the fair. I was upset though that they give away goldfish as prizes, they didn’t have much water in the bags for them to swim around in. K. Gray, age 9

enforcement and have been regularly issuing tickets, and have seen our ticket numbers steadily increase over the last six months. It is you, the public, that continue to ask us to do something about the manner of parking in the High Street, and we are obliged to look into all community issues and take appropriate action where necessary. It therefore has saddened me of late to hear from members of staff that they have been on the receiving end of verbal abuse for carrying out their duty, and doing their job. The Suffolk Constabulary do not find it acceptable for any members of staff to be subjected to any form of abuse whether on or off duty. We constantly remind you that you cannot park on a single yellow line Monday to Saturday 8am through until 6pm. You cannot park at any time on double yellow lines. There is no magical ten-minute allowance that admits you to pop to the bakers, or the bank. The legislation is detailed in the Highway Code, and is part of the road traffic act. If all members of the public would adhere to the restrictions, we would be able to utilise the time by concentrating on more pressing matters. We cannot spend every hour of every day in the High Street, but we do spend a large amount of our time on foot patrol. It is during this time that we will continue to issue parking tickets to all offenders. Kind regards Matt & Julia PC 1455 Paisley & PCSO 3173 Bignell

Hadleigh Community Playgroup We bid some fond farewells to some of our older children who moved on after Easter but we have welcomed lots of new children who are settling in well. For the first time Hadleigh Community Playgroup displayed children’s art work at the Hadleigh Show. The pictures of tractors were marvellous and the children really enjoyed going into the schools art tent to find their pictures. On Wednesday 19th May we held our annual Teddy Bear Toddle. This year it was combined with a cake sale, a toy sale and a Teddy Bears picnic. For the first time in a few years, the weather was kind enough for the children to picnic outside. We all had a wonderful time. We’re yet to count the money raised but it will go toward new equipment for our brand new purpose built playgroup. We have been granted planning permission for the new playgroup building and we are in the process of appointing a contractor. We’re very excited about having our own premises from September 2010 as we will be able to offer two 3 hours sessions per day. We will also have an enclosed outdoor play area so that our children can truly enjoy ‘free flow’ play. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please phone Rachel on 01473 822647 or e-mail us at hadleighcommunityplaygroup@googlemail.com.

Hadleigh Cricket Club Junior and youth section The club has an U11 , u15 and two u13 (Sharks and Eagles) sides all competing in the Ipswich and District youth league. The under 11's lost their first game against Bury St Edmunds but bounced back well against Copdock to win by 60 runs with Arran Tampion being selected to represent Suffolk. The under 13's have had a mixed start with the Sharks winning their first two games with ease reaching 118 for 1 against Bury St Edmunds with Sam Chapman retiring on 35 not out, the side bowled Stowupland out for 40 reaching that total in 4 overs with Oliver Carlstroem 35 not out. The Eagles first encounter was agianst last years finalists (East Bergholt) going down by 3 wickets but a lot of these players are new to the game and are developing very well. A combined Eagles and Sharks side took on Colchester and East Essex U13's in a 35 over friendly with Hadleigh batting first , Oliver Carlstroem lost his middle stump for 11 and both Sam Hinsley and Sam Renshaw worked the ball around well before Dominic Manthorpe and Ryan McGowan stayed together putting on 99 before Dominic was bowled for 71 and Ryan shortly after for 53. Hadleigh posted 199 for 6 with Colchester never really in the hunt reaching 124 for 9 Allister Moat took two wickets for 13 runs with Daniel Thornton taking four wickets for 12 runs in a very good all round performance. The under 15's won their first game in four years by beating Battisford. Battisford were bowled out for 85 with Hadleigh reaching the total for the loss of 6 wickets but with a very exciting finish. Hadleigh required 2 runs of the last ball of their innings to win . The opening trio of Battisford's batsmen got them off to a good start with scores of 16 by Tom Search and Will. Hadleigh's bowlers then took control of the run rate with Tim Keeble bowling 18 dot balls in 4 overs taking 2wks for 10 runs and Ben Daniels taking 5wks for 21 runs. Hadleigh started slow with the run chase but looked well in control until Dominic Manthorpe was dismissed for a top score of 21.
Hadleigh Carpet Bowls Club After a long cold winter we have at last approached the season for the start of the Summer League and had our first match and a good win against our friends at Stratford St. Mary, it was a most enjoyable evening and hopefully one which we will repeat during the next few months; our next two games in May to be played at Whatfield and Hitcham will be played after this publication and will therefore be recorded in the July issue of Hadleigh Community news. At the end of last month our two newest members went to Hemsby, in Norfolk, to enter the 2010 Hemsby Pairs competition and whilst putting up a respectable challenge they were unable to compete with our previous club members Peter and Joyce who returned home with the champions cup: however our new members were delighted to say that they were not at the bottom of the list and so avoided being given the dreaded ''booby prize ''. Now bitten by the bug, these two members are seriously thinking of entering the Pairs and Fours competition being held at Hayling Island on the 27th September, an event being organised by Rita of T& D Carpet Bowls, it would be great for the club if other members could also come along and give support and meet our new founded friends from other local clubs, this being an event that should not be missed.We are in constant contact with Rita to try and organise a mini-bus for those who do not wish to use their own transport.
Hadleigh Carpet Bowls Club We are now looking for new members to join our friendly club in readiness for the forthcoming ‘summer season’. We have three carpets, a large hall and all the equipment is supplied. Tuition given to all non-players We play on Monday and Thursday Evenings Main Hall, Hadleigh County Primary School, Station Road Starting at 7.00 pm For social and a friendly gathering and play competitively across Suffolk at other times for those of a more adventurous nature.

Tel: 01473 311636 or 07940 521266 Once the Robin Hood, Maid Marion and William Tell’s apple jokes had been dispensed with the ladies of Fidelis got down to some serious archery. Starting in the shop at Raydon Archery Club, Ace archer, Tony Preston, of Perris Archery, fitted each attendee with the protective elements of the sport plus a bow and three arrows. Feeling nervous and apprehensive, the small band moved into the enormous barn to face targets which looked as if they were still in Hadleigh and just about as difficult to hit. After some vital safety instructions Tony demonstrated the basic techniques required to sink the arrows into those distant targets. With a little additional coaching and lots of encouragement from Tony and his wife, Suzanne, it wasn’t long before cries of “I hit it” and “I got it” were echoing round the lofty barn. It was a generous hour’s session which closed with a successful, collective shoot out on three unsuspecting balloons. What an enjoyable, fun morning it had it proved to be and the speedy success of those few arrows did so much to boost everyone’s self esteem.

Poets Corner Nature Natures beauty, distinct and fine. Enduring throughout the passage of time. Fields of green, golden yellow or blue. Every colour, every hue. Flowers that defy all efforts, to describe their infinite allure. Beauty that itself is so pure. Mountains and Valleys, Rivers and Lakes. Nature is a masterpiece and what a spectacle it makes. From the sunshine and raindrops vibrant rainbows too. Nature is the gift. That should be treasured by us all, the whole year through.

Trudy’s Marathon Blogg I Did It!!!! With this being my First Marathon I was feeling very nervous but excited and I felt ready for the challenge. My training had gone well and I had managed to stay fit, well and injury free. Through the winter I entered a Half Marathon and some Cross Country races as part of my training. I was fortunate that I had other Hadleigh Hares to train with as it definitely helped to keep me motivated especially on the longer runs. Standing at the start of the Marathon I was very nervous but I tried to stay positive, I thought to myself that I had done all the hard training so I should be prepared. When we set off I was finding it scary with the amount of runners I was surrounded by, nothing can prepare you for this. I felt good up to 20miles and then I started to tire, I had to stay strong in the mind and keep focused to get me through the final 6.2miles.The crowd were fantastic, there was cheering and clapping all the way around the course. It helped me knowing that I had got friends and family in the crowd and at home supporting me. This and the thought of my charity (East Anglian Air Ambulance) is what helped me keep going when the going got tough. When I came over the finish line it was such a great feeling, all the emotion came out and I burst into tears. My time was 4.08hrs, not bad for my first Marathon. I am so pleased my Marathon journey finished successfully and that I felt so good afterwards. The fact I’ve raised £5,700 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance is the icing on the cake. None of this would have been possible without the support from my family, friends and the Hadleigh Hares! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED ME
Hadleigh United U12’s On Saturday the 17th April, Hadleigh united under 12’s played against Sporting 87! The game started of very intensely with Hadleigh able to take an early lead from a penalty kick taken by Dane Clapham. All match the team passed the ball very well creating loads more chances. All this team play lead to another 3 great goals from Owen Clemson, 3 goals by Isaac Everett and another 3 outstanding goals by Fergus McKay! The final score ended at 10 goals to 0 to Hadleigh! On the 21st of April Hadleigh united under 12’s take on a strong Trimley side who are in the top end of the division . The last time these 2 teams played, Hadleigh came away from it as the favourites after a great game that finished 1-0 to Hadleigh after another great finish from Owen Clemson. The match against Trimley will be hard for both teams but both teams I’m sure will be very confident they can win. On the 10th of April, Dane Clapham went though to the final of the penalty shoot out competition after proudly beating his team mates to the final. Unfortunately Dane was unable to win after just scoring 2 great penalties out of 5. Leaving the under 8’s player feeling very happy winning the whole thing! Congratulations to him. On the 27th of march most of the boys attended the mascot day walking out with the Hadleigh first team squad who were playing the Norwich united first team. The boys and parents all had a great day helped by the fact that we were able to dodge the rain. Hadleigh were unable to beat Norwich, although able to take the first chance going up 1-0 after the first half. Also on the 17th of April the Hadleigh united under 12’s hosted a music event, featuring a local band called Skapamaster, in which 2 of the boys Dad’s play. The band were very very good and we hope that every body had a great time, with thanks to Pete Tampion who organised it and thanks of course to the band for a wonderful performance! Also we would like to say thanks to everyone who came, we managed to raise over £400! By Dane Clapham Following on from that last report which unfortunately didn’t make it to press, a quick update on our progress, as I write we are 3 points ahead of our nearest rivals, to be top of our division, we have 1 more match on Saturday 22nd May and all being good this should lead us to victory and the outright winners of Division 3. A big thank you to all the team for their hard work this season, to the supporters for turning up in all weathers, and a special thank you to our management team who have all worked really hard to ensure that the under 12’s continue to go from strength to strength. Long may our success last.

Hadleigh Hares Athletics Club Celebrating 25 years of Road Running, Athletics, Cycling and Triathlon LONDON MARATHON Congratulations to Trudy Avis, Matt Gant & Francesca Dowie for completing the Virgin London Marathon. Despite the predicted forecast of 20 degrees competitors were met with cool damp conditions which as every runner will tell you is perfect running weather! Matt led the Hares home in an excellent time of 3.34.29. Trudy, running her first ever marathon managed to finish in a fabulous 4.08, and in the process raised over £5000 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, whilst despite being hampered by injuries during her training Francesca completed the course in 5.48, Well done to you all. SUFFOLK HERITAGE COAST Sunday 2nd May was another fairly hideous day for the time of year! 5 Hares joined 341 other runners in Thorpeness to run 26, 13 or 6 miles. Before even getting to the start line their spirits had been dampened as they were met with 7 degrees, 20mph northerly headwind for the first few miles (on the coastal path from Sizewell up to Dunwich Heath) and cold horizontal rain. Much of the 26 mile route was off-road and some of this was on loose sand which was hard work. The gently undulating course starts at Thorpeness, goes up the coast to Walberswick marshes then heads inland to Darsham and Westleton before heading south past Eastbridge and back to Thorpeness. Not to be deterred by the elements Steve Cox was the first Hare home running a superb first marathon in 4:07 (also coming 27th out of 66 fellow marathon runners) followed by Sarah Hunt, also running her first marathon, who completed 26 miles in 5.00. Congratulations also to Sarah Grimsey (57.50) Gale Pryor (59.32) & Jackie Kirk (59.40) who all took part in the 6 mile challenge. BRECKLAND 10K On May Day bank holiday Becky Smith found it best spent joining 309 other runners battling relentless blustery weather on the open expanses of this fairly flat route. Starting straight away with a hill and then along tree-lined country roads, it was ideal for PBs, as Becky found finishing in 51.58 mins. A strong cup of tea and an excellent Thetford AC kit bag to all finishers added to the occasion! Well done! ALTON WATER 10K Most of the Hares, runners & triathletes alike are familiar with the reservoir & use it as part of their training runs but only 4 brave souls turned up on

Based in Hadleigh
Sunday 9th May to run the second 10K event to be staged there. On a bitterly cold & drizzly morning the Hares joined 378 other runners in completing 6.2 miles around a very undulating hilly but scenic course. Valerie Gladwell was the first Hare & first female runner home in an excellent time of 41.13. Chris Burke followed behind in 49.25 whilst both Rachel Cole & Corinna Hussey set PB’s, Rachel in a great time of 50.40 & Corinna shaving off a full 5 mins of her previous time to finish in 54.41. Well done to all. THE GAUNTLET 2 members of the Hares extreme running sub group (Brian Airlie & Steve Hunt) ran a new race called the Gauntlet on Sunday 9th May, organised by Mucky Races, on behalf of the NSPCC in the bowels of Bures Pit between Colchester and Sudbury. Although not as long as their previous outings at the Grizzly (20 miles through bogs, along beaches and up cliffs in Devon) or Hell runner (13 miles in an Army tank range including the Bog of Doom and Hills of Hell on the South Downs) the Gauntlet managed to pack into its 10k distance the stickiest bog they had ever experienced. Being stuck waist deep in thick clay being virtually unable to move was interesting! - At least 3 more deep water filled ponds cleaned the clay off! A zig zag of 5 consecutive hills and a steep valley climb as well as many short near vertical climbs and falls in the pit. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience! Brian completed the course in 52 minutes closely followed by Steve. Both Hares were well up the field, leaving many fit young athletes in their wake!! Next outing for them is the Midsummer Munro - 3000ft of climbing up and down Box Hill in Surreylabeled as England’s hardest half marathon. We wish them well!
HALSTEAD MARATHON Halstead Roadrunners hosted the 16th Halstead and Essex Marathon on Sunday 9th May. Having been training hard since January, husband and wife team Andrew and Deb Stewart were the only two Hares among the 500 or so competitors year. The marathon is run on a figure of eight course around Halstead, Twinstead and Pebmarsh, and is fairly 'bumpy' in places so all that hill training was worth it in the end. The field was soon strung out, and by midway there were just sporadic groups of runners for the supporters to cheer as they passed by the centre of the figure of eight at Pebmarsh. Deb had a terrific race, smiling all the way and despite expecting a finishing time of around five hours, she crossed the line in a brilliant 4 hours 32 minutes to collect her huge medal and rather nice T shirt. Meanwhile, Andrew had started well and was going well until hit by cramp at about mile 17. He persevered though, and although finishing much slower than he had hoped, still managed to cross the line in 4 hours 26 minutes. Excellent effort for their first marathon’s! COME AND JOIN US – EVERYONE WELCOME! Hadleigh Hares Athletics Club run three sessions a week for adults (all abilities & ages welcome) one for juniors (age 8-16) & one for youths (16-25); see below for days & times – every session meets at the Hadleigh Leisure Centre: Monday Beginners Night 7.00 pm - 8.00pm Tuesday Junior Night 6.00 pm - 7.00pm Tuesday Youth Night 7.00 pm - 8.00pm Tuesday Ladies Night: 7.00 pm - 8.00pm.

Hadleigh Goldstar Athletic Football Club (Sponsored by Taylor & Sons Property Agents) When will this years season end people keep asking, as we are still playing matches in late MAY !!!. Although as I compile these notes I have been informed by Secretary Keith out last match away on 30th at Alderton as been called off as they have withdrawn from the League. With teams in our Division withdrawing and not fulfilling fixtures, our league position will not be fully clear until the end of the month, hopefully we will be promoted to the Premier League. Back to matches played,On Sunday April 18th we entertained "Fat Cat" from Ipswich (its a Pub !!!). We started on the back foot with Fat Cat scoring after only seven minutes, this early setback woke us up and we got back into the match on 24 minutes when "Deanno" converted a spot kick. Fat Cat went ahead again in the 65th minute, but we levelled the scores just before full time when "Deanno" scored his second goal, but we ran out of time as we pressed for the winner. Club stalwart "Gary"missed this match as he was practising "raising his finger" in readiness for his Umpire duties. Thanks to Jack Warner for standing in at the very last minute to Referee the match, (he was still eating his toast when he arrived!!). The 25th took us to Ipswich to play another "pub" team Margaret Catchpole. Again we started slowly with "Butch" called into early action to save a shot, but we soon got into our stride when "Gildy" scored after 9 minutes, we then gave away a penalty which was converted. Our hosts then took the lead as we failed to clear our lines, but as half time neared "Ropes" put us on level terms. Ten minutes into the second half "Ropes" put us in front, with 15 minutes left Margaret Catchpole levelled the scores at 3-3, but two late Chris Cowan goals saw us come away with a fortunate win. "Bob the Flag" did turn up to do his duties after being "hired out" to the Legion for their Charity match on the Saturday night, but he had been in two minds as to whether to joins us or go with his Father "Steven J", to Fakenham for Horse & Camel racing, he really should have gone to keep his Father under control, as he was seen leaving the "race course" on a Camel heading down the A1065 towards Swaffham!! Bank Holiday weekend we had no match, thank goodness as the Sunday was a wash out, Secretary Keith was caravaning at Sandringham, as the weather was bad we wonder did he play poker!!! No luck the next weekend as we made the short trip to Whitton to play Norbridge, looking to avenge our 6-1 defeat a few weeks earlier, but as we all arrived, we were informed the match was off as Norbridge could only muster six players. In our match against "Taverners" on the 16th, we mustered 11 players with several missing for various reasons, which gave players who normally are on the bench a chance, and they played well to come away with a 5-3 victory, with two goals from "Deanno", two from Chris Cowan, and Micheal Lewis getting one. "Yours truly" let the side down as I had a day off so no full report or wind ups. Last months teaser "What has our Chairman & Gary Lineker got in common. answer "they both like CRISPS". No teaser this month. If any players are interested in playing for Goldstar next season, please ring 07740 544027 for more details

The closing weeks of last season were highly eventful for Hadleigh United. Manager Peter Grant and assistant Gary Thompson left the club to be replaced by Stuart Crawford as boss with Alan Dilloway as his number two. We also had groundsman Martin Hawes hand in his resignation after several years of valuable service. On the field almost all of the excitement centred around the Reserves who needed a win at Harwich and Parkeston to win the title of Southern Division. A full coach load of supporters travelled into Essex and a great game developed as Hadleigh were made to work hard by determined opponents. A superb leader by Ben Goodchild put us in front in the first half. In the second period Daryl Alexander and Aston Leathers scored to clinch a three goal win for Hadleigh to set up a championship play-off against the winners of the Northern Division. This turned out to be Lowestoft Reserves and the Seasiders proved to be the strongest opposition encountered by Hadleigh Reserves for many a long day. Lowestoft attacked strongly and by half time they had scored five goals with Hadleigh scoring just one by Ben Licence. Things looked serious but Hadleigh held their own in the second half. Hadleigh made the final score slightly closer with a goal from Jon Chinnery. So, the match ended with Lowestoft ending up winners by five goals to two and Hadleigh live to fight another day following a brave fight-back in the second half. Congratulations to Jason Curtis who received the Golden Boot for being leading scorer in the entire two Reserves divisions. The annual Presentation Evening saw goalkeeper Aaron Benstead win all three first team awards. The Reserves awards were shared between Jason Curtis and Ben Goodchild while the awards for the Ridgeons Youth team were shared between Daryl Alexander and Liam Heffer-Thorpe. The Club Person of the Year award was shared between Chairman Ken Ramsey and Secretary Chris Rose. Retiring groundsman Martin Hawes and Alan Tilbury are the latest additions to the Hadleigh United Fellowship. Brettsider

Hadleigh United F.C. Youth Under 11’s
On Saturday 17th April 2010, Hadleigh United under 11’s played their last league game of the season. The boys have had a fantastic season and following on from last year’s success of being promoted, we end the season with both teams finishing in the top four. It also marks the end of mini football as next season will see the boys start their 11 a side games. On behalf of all the boys (some of which have been involved since the very first training session) and all the parents, we would like to say a Massive “Thanks” to Gavin who along with Bloss, Ian and Jamie have given so much of their time and dedication over the last four years. Good Luck to all our players for next year.

Dixon Dart League 19th April A last singles win from Wheelers Les Garrod against Darren Witt ensured that he got the George A ‘chesney award’ (the one and only) as the George A won this one 10-1. Kersey’s Andy Hazell won the fifth singles to give his team the win with a game to spare over the Brewers B, Tim Allen won the last with a 71 checkout hitting treble 13 and two double eights for a final 6-5 scoreline in favour of Kersey. George B were involved in a close tussle with the Eight Bells, after going 3-0 up they had to wait until the last singles game to clinch the match as Glenn Root beat Andy Chilton to win this one 6-5. 26th April George A Darren Witt got back to winning ways with a 118 finish (60-18-40) as his side demolished the Legion A 11-0. Ram Jets hope of a fourth spot finish all but disappeared as the were beaten 6-5 by the Wheelers, it was Pete Vanstone and Stuart King with the last two singles wins that done the business for the wheelers. Colin Thackery hit a 180 in his singles win as the Kings Head recorded a narrow 6-5 win at the Brewers B. This weeks local derby match saw the Cock take on the Cock A side, and after the triples were shared it was the A side who took a 3-2 advantage going into the singles, wins from Tony Smith, Dan Page, Richard Lyddaman & Karen Hedley made it seven for the A side before Del King and Gary Leathers won the last two for the cock, Gary finishing on 119 in his singles win for a 7-4 final scoreline. 4th May Final week of the season, with the top places all but sorted it was a battle for the wooden spoon that sparked the imagination, with the Cock second from bottom just three points clear of Hintlesham and with a daunting match against league champions George A in prospect, the situation did not look good, phones were red hot with reports that Hintlesham were losing, but the Cock also had problems as they lost both triples to go 2-0 down, the news from Kersey that Hintlesham were losing badly seemed to inspire the Cock team as the won the first doubles and then took two singles from the George side with some cracking darts from Gary Leathers and Dan Collis, Dan scoring his first ever competitive maximum 180, its fair to say that to win three games against the George A side was a great result for the Cock, and as Hintlesham finally lost their match 7-4 to Kersey Bell, the Cock avoided the dreaded wooden spoon. Most consistent league players (wins out of 30 games) -: C. Hynard, D. Cole (George A) 27 wins

Hadleigh Tennis Club On Sunday 16th May the Hadleigh Tennis Club held its first tournament of the season. The Mixed Doubles was keenly contested in the round robin stage and produced a high quality final which saw Kate White and Trevor Rowland triumph over the runners up Debbie Young and Paul Knowles.
