Babergh District Council move... You will be aware that from September, the District Council will start to vacate its Headquarter offices in Hadleigh for a move in to Ipswich with other public sector organisations. Whilst the move brings obvious benefits for our Council to work more closely with other Local Authorities and public health, locally the exit may be more acutely felt. After many years in the Town, there will be local residents and businesses sad to see the departure of officers being based there. Leader of Babergh District Council, Jennie Jenkins told us “I do appreciate that people in Hadleigh will feel the change more than other communities who are not used to us being so obviously present in their area. However, wherever our administrative base is, Babergh District Council will continue to deliver high quality services to everyone, from its public realm work and building control through to bin collection and food safety inspections. Arthur Charvonia, joint Chief Executive of Babergh and Mid Suffolk Councils, told an audience of local town and parish councils recently, "With our move we will undoubtedly want to and need to work harder to connect with our communities and ensure that you see the benefits our efforts bring to the local
area. We are not complacent in making sure we maintain relationships with the local people we are here to serve.� Just like other Councils, Babergh is investing more in bringing council services online for residents via the website www.babergh.gov.uk and reflects the fact that many people now expect to do business with their local council 24 hours a day. With hectic work and home lives, the times when people used to pop in to the local office to pay their rents are now well behind us and there is more focus on providing better online solutions. Of course, some of our questions are more complex and so the arrival of the new telephone number 0300 123 4000 this Spring has also brought benefits to residents. Inevitably as the move dates approach, questions turn to what will become of the building on Corks Lane? This is something that the Council is working on with a design and planning team, testing the market to explore the possible options. As these develop, a sounding board involving officers Councillors and a representative of the Town Councils will come together to share views and develop ideas. A report will be presented in the Autumn to District Councillors with a recommended preferred option. As more details come through, we will share these through this magazine and other channels.

Brett Valley Lodge tour the ‘Apache’ During the months that Brett Valley do not hold a regular meeting a ‘Lodge Supper’ is held as a social night out for the lodge members, their families and guests. On June 30th organiser of our supper meetings, Alan Fosker together with Robbie Silk the Station Staff Officer arranged a superb evening for us all at the Wattisham Air Base. After a short social drink in the Officers Mess we dined in fine style on an excellent selection of curries with all the usual ‘trimmings’ followed by cheesecake and strawberries. We then all jumped into our vehicles and drove ‘in convoy’ across the airfield to a hanger which housed the famous ‘Apache’ attack helicopter, where waiting to meet us was one of the pilots who then proceeded to explain the incredible capabilities of this machine. The technology in this helicopter is almost beyond belief, in fact climbing up to look in the pilots seat and viewing the amount of buttons, controls and levers we was surprised to learn it only takes three years to learn to fly this amazing machine. After a few photos and our thanks to the pilot we visited the Museum on the base which houses a most interesting collection of artifacts and photos and a visit to the museum is highly recommended, it is open on the first Sunday of the month, April to October, they would be very pleased to see you, full details can be found at www.wattishamstationheritage.org. Brett Valley Lodge meet and dine at The Town Hall, Hadleigh on the fourth friday in September, November, January, March and May www.brettvalley.org.uk

Bildeston Primary School Learning and Growing Together The summer term is always a busy one and this year has been no exception. In amongst all the usual visits, outings, reports etc. this year we have had an OFSTED Inspection. It is over four years since the last Inspection when we were judged to be ‘Good’, so this one was not unexpected. I am delighted to say that we again achieved ‘Good’ which, given the way the Government has moved the goal posts, the fact that the inspection schedule has changed as well as the challenges facing the school including tighter budgets, is a fantastic result. Our congratulations to Ms Golding and all the staff for this amazing result! Our thanks also to the parents for their continuing support and not forgetting the children themselves who provided the inspector with some interesting comments! Here are some quotes from the Inspection: • pupils ‘enjoy their learning and want to achieve well’ • Staff are ‘highly motivated’ • ‘This is a happy school’ If you have a child approaching school age then why not come into school and see for yourselves what a good education we can provide here in Bildeston. We have an Open Morning on Wednesday 20th September. But you don’t have to wait for that you can visit the school at any time, just call us on 01449 740269.If you are someone who is just curious to see what goes on in schools then you are most welcome to have a look around too. We wish the staff and children (and even the parents!) a Happy Summer Holiday.

New This Girl Can Ambassadors project is set to inspire hundreds of women across Suffolk to get active Many people will have heard of the national This Girl Can campaign, with the memorable film seen over thirteen million times, inspiring hundreds of thousands of women to get active. To support this campaign and to raise the profile of women getting active across the county, Suffolk Sport has recently launched the This Girl Can Suffolk Ambassadors project and is seeking inspirational women across Suffolk to tell their real life stories in a bid to get more women active across the county. The campaign seeks females of any shapes or sizes, ages or abilities. Especially those who have not always been active but are trying their best to participate, speaking about relatable barriers they faced along their journey into activity; commitment, injury, and a lack of confidence. The ambassadors will help to inspire others to overcome their own personal barriers whether attempting something new or trying to stay active. Suffolk Sport wants to celebrate active women in the county throughout the duration of this project with each This Girl Can Ambassador promoting physical activity and/or sport in their local area through social media whilst sharing their own stories that have made them active today.Ambassadors need to be aged 16 and over to have a variety of different ages. For further information or to become an ambassador, please visit the website; http://www.suffolksport.com/tgcsuffolk or call Suffolk Sport on 01394 444311 Further information about the nationwide This Girl Can campaign can be found at www.thisgirlcan.co.uk

Family Fun can blossom at Newton Green Families are being invited to a free afternoon of fun to have a go at golf. The summer Bank Holiday Monday activity is being staged at Newton Green Golf Club on August 28. Children and adults with or without any skills in the sport will be shown how to hit a wide variety of targets with a golf club, or take part in fun putting competitions. The whole family can play round a course of easy targets and build up their own or individual scores in mini Olympics style. Individuals can enjoy free lessons, and afternoon teas and the club’s famed catering can be sampled. Newton Green’s creative ideas for encouraging people to get into golf are well known, and it believes it has to continue working to get all age groups on board. Membership and junior section chairman Ian Woodhead, said: “The sport feels there is a lot more to be done to encourage involvement across the board, and particularly in the field of family participation. “Our outstanding success in recent years in encouraging youngsters to blossom has had a very strong family input. Scratch golfers such as Alice Barlow and Eloise Aldous have been helped by enthusiasm from their families within the club. “Three of the four players in our junior team squad which has again reached the national finals are children of people with strong connections at Newton Green. “In other words, families who play together blossom together and all have the opportunity to reach a level of golf that can satisfy their sporting the social interests.�

We all know that we should write a Will, but too few of us know we should also consider making a Lasting Power of Attorney. The issue is becoming increasingly important, with Suffolk’s over-65 population forecast to grow by nearly 60% by 2039, according to a new report based on Office for National Statistics data. Over 65s are nationally the fastest growing age group, as better healthcare prolongs life expectancy. Problems surrounding an ageing society are particularly acute here in Suffolk - experts predict one in three people in the county will be older than 65 by 2039, compared to one in four in England. Charities who care for the elderly recommend everyone plans ahead to ease the potential burden on relatives – and one key way of doing that is by making a Lasting Power of Attorney, which gives another individual the legal authority to look after specific aspects of your financial affairs or health and welfare should you need extra help or lose the capacity to make these decisions for yourself. If you do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place and later become mentally incapacitated, relatives may face long delays and expense in applying to the Court of Protection to get access and take control of your assets and finances. There are a number of reasons why you might need someone to make decisions for you or act on your behalf. It may just be a temporary situation, for example, if you are in hospital and need help with everyday things such as making sure bills are paid. Alternatively, you may need to make longer-term plans if you have been diagnosed with dementia and you may lose the mental capacity to make your own decisions in the future. How can Gotelee help? Making a Lasting Power of Attorney helps ensure the people you care most about aren’t forced to deal with unnecessary difficulties in the future. Just as important is keeping an up-to-date Will; without one, your final wishes may go unheard and your loved ones will face the added pressure at an already emotionally fraught time. Both Lasting Powers of Attorney and a Will are especially important if you own property or other valuable assets, and even more so if you have children. Our specialist team of lawyers can meet you at one of our offices in Hadleigh, Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge or Melton and can guide you through the process.

Hadleigh’s Hidden Gem
Concerned about your nest egg?
You may think it’s hard to hide a place like Priory Hall in Hadleigh. How can it be a hidden gem? It sits in 22 acres, has a lake, orchards, lawns and a large banqueting hall rebuilt from its original Tudor origins, with minstrels’ gallery and attached walled garden. But it remains a secret to many people in Hadleigh and surrounding villages. We meet people who’ve driven past Priory Hall in Benton Street for years and have no idea what’s behind the wall. Luxury venue. Weddings started here almost by accident 25 years ago. They quickly built up and as a result the grounds were redesigned for them. Now brides and grooms from as far as Scotland and the Netherlands come to Hadleigh to make Priory Hall theirs for the day. That’s what we’re really good at. We give couples the luxury infrastructure and they add their own touches to make it a day for and about them. And we give them access over three days, so no scrabbling to set up or clear up. We recommend suppliers but we don’t insist on them. We do all we can to make dreams come true. Anniversary visits. We’ve had live goldfish on the tables, acrobats dangling from helium balloons, picnics on the lawn and art in the garden. There have been fly pasts, fire eaters and even a bride who arrived by helicopter wearing wellies. No two weddings are ever the same. That’s what makes it fun. They can be big and impressive or small and intimate. It doesn’t matter as long as it’s what the bride and groom want. We offer free anniversary visits so you can enjoy your memories back where they happened. Added extras. We’ve been running weddings at Priory Hall for a long time. We’re really lucky to have a place that’s perfect for a wedding day and we hope we add the extras that help people use it to the full, just as they always wanted. But there’s only one way to find out. Check out the website www.prioryhall.com - and then get in touch to arrange a visit. It’s impossible to describe Priory Hall; you really do have to see it. 01473 823185 07711 321907 cyndy.hilton@prioryhall.com

This certiďŹ cate is funded by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) for the purpose of assisting James Cartlidge MP in the performance of his Parliamentary duties. Printed by Keith Avis, 68 High St, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF.
James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk I was very honoured to be appointed a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Ministerial team at the Department of Health. Distilled, the role of PPS is basically to act as a conduit between a government department and parliamentary colleagues. In practice this means that I will be supporting the health ministers in their day-to-day work by attending debates, statements and urgent questions, and also ensuring that they are aware of the feeling in the House of Commons and concerns individual MPs may have. If individual members are concerned about certain matters either locally or nationally, or would like assistance in gaining attention for a particular campaign, it is the role of the PPS to enable that communication. For regular watchers of the Parliament channel – and I know there are some – the PPS usually sits behind the Minister they are supporting and can often be seen scampering across the green benches to send or receive notes to and from Departmental officials seated near the Speaker’s chair. A PPS is an unpaid role, though intriguingly we are classed as being on the Government ‘payroll’. Commentators sometimes use the phrase ‘payroll vote’ which refers to all Ministers, Whips and PPSs who are in one way or another part of the Government (as opposed to ‘backbenchers’). I am delighted to have been assigned to the Department of Health because there is almost no bigger issue than the future of healthcare in the UK. I am looking forward to getting more involved in this area and developing a greater understanding about the challenges faced by the fantastic staff in our NHS. Of course, I will continue to be the Member of Parliament of South Suffolk. I will still hold surgeries, stand up for local interests and work on my various projects and priorities. My first duty remains to represent you in Parliament, but it’s exciting to have new challenges to go with that core responsibility.

A lovely friend of mine bought me a beautiful recipe book recently, and once I have tried and tested some of the contents, I will share. Meanwhile, Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues are rapidly becoming my friends, having given this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe the thumbs up on two separate occasions. I am not a huge fan of fruit loaves in general, but even I am happy to say that this recipe is perfect for a quick fix therapeutic baking session, followed by any excuse to share it with friends, especially when accompanied by a nice cup of tea. Banana Loaf Ingredients: 125g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing 100g caster sugar, 175g self-raising flour 2 very ripe medium bananas (about 300g in total), peeled 1 tbsp double cream (optional), 2 eggs, 100g sultanas, 1 tsp vanilla extract Method 1. Preheat the oven to 170°C, fan 150°C. Lightly grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with butter. 2. Melt the butter and sugar together in a small saucepan, stirring continuously until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a large bowl; leave to cool for 5 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, sift the flour onto a large plate and add a pinch of salt. On another plate, use a fork to mash the bananas well. Add a dash of cream at this stage. (optional) 4. Beat eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, then add mashed bananas. Stir in the sultanas and vanilla extract. Add the flour gradually, stirring well after each addition. 5. Scrape mixture into the tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes, until lightly golden and well-risen. Cover the top with foil if it looks like it is starting to brown. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Remove from tin to cool completely. The loaf will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days, if indeed it lasts that long!

Ken’s SESAW News Suffolk & Essex Small Animal Welfare Reg charity no 1124029
Here you are in August already, but I’m writing in July before our Open Day which I’ll tell you about in September. Confused? That’s nothing! I found Mum in the kitchen with a sink full of water recently, not washing up but encouraging a gosling to swim. The poor little mite had splayed legs and Mum was supervising his hydrotherapy. I was about to ask Henry to buy her a plastic duck! During July we met lots of lovely people and raised over £700 in Long Melford at the Vintage Rally and Street Fair. Congratulations to the organisers of both fantastic events, even the weather was good! We also had another two good days talking to many visitors at the Shelley Fun Dog Show and Copdock School Summer Fete - I don't think I've ever had so much fuss! Like many of you, some of our volunteers are on holiday so SESAW will be closed during August. It will also help us settle down again after the Open Day excitement. If you are looking for an interesting family day out, try the Wildlife Fair at the beautiful Beth Chatto gardens on 22nd and 23rd August. We have been invited to this popular annual event at Elmstead Market, CO7 7DB so do look out for us. There will be bargains galore at Barbara’s Bonanza Sale at the Parish Rooms, Stratford St. Mary, CO7 6JH, 10-2pm on 19th August. The kind villagers always donate quality items including a big dictionary which I’m still reading. According to this font of knowledge, apart from being the eighth month, august also means “inspiring reverence or admiration”. Surely that must be a reference to me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua!

Hadleigh Orchestra Conductor: Ute Cooper Leader: Lisa Patchett Thank to the many people who attended our summer concert in June in St. Mary’s. Some people may have wondered why we did not use the organ for the Handel Organ concerto. Unfortunately it was a matter of tuning: the organ is tuned too high for the wind to be able to reach up to it so we had to use the keyboard. The one consolation of doing this is that we could use the harpsichord stop on it as well as the organ stop. I am glad to say that our conductor was much better next day and is now fine. Thanks you for your generous donations – as a result we were able to give St. Mary’s a cheque for £150. Rehearsals will begin again in preparation for our Christmas Concert on Monday Sept. 18th. We have vacancies in all departments except flute and would be especially grateful for more violinists. We meet on Monday evening 7.30 – 9.30 p.m. at Beaumont Community school. If you would like to know more, please give me a ring on 01473 82724. John Druce (Chairman, Hadleigh Orchestra)

Sudbury Dramatic Society The next production to follow in a successful 2017 season from Sudbury Dramatic Society is Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s comedy The Rivals, which is on at Sudbury’s Quay Theatre from Tuesday 5th to Saturday 9th September at 7.45pm In Bath in 1775, the beautiful Lydia is living with her old aunt, Mrs Malaprop, a widow whose ability to mangle the English language is legendary. In a story full of mistaken and hidden identities, Lydia is determined to refuse an arranged marriage with Captain Jack Absolute, whom she has never met, and elope with the penniless Ensign Beverley. However, Ensign Beverley. is actually Jack Absolute who is courting Lydia in disguise Mrs Malaprop is encouraging another suitor to Lydia’s hand, who is persuaded to challenge the fictitious Beverley to a duel. As the course of true love never does run smooth, will everything end happily?

Babyballet - Come and join the fun! Take your little ones to a babyballet dance class and watch them grow and develop, while having the time of their lives. You’ll love the fun atmosphere too! With a real focus on learning through play, the unique babyballet® syllabus offers four key stages of dance classes, from Tots (6-18 months), Tinies (18 months to 3 years), Movers (3-4 years), to Groovers (4-6 years). The emphasis of every class is for boys and girls to learn to dance and have fun in a safe, happy and caring environment. Babies and children develop through being active and exploring their environment. Our babyballet classes help to develop key skills in all areas of their development such as coordination, balance, flexibility and posture. One babyballet Mummy says “Both me and my daughter love babyballet, for me it’s spending the time with her and seeing her constant smile on her face during the whole class and for my daughter she just loves to dance with her friends, Miss Abigail, Teddy & Twinkle. Would highly recommend” Miss Abigail has been bringing the joy of babyballet to Sudbury for over four years, and in 2014 she expanded the classes on offer to Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich too. Last year she was nominated for a What’s on 4 Juniors award for Best Activity Leader for Under 5’s in the East. Classes must be booked in advance; a three week trial is £15.

It has been a pleasure in recent weeks to welcome various clubs and organisations to Kersey Mill. Bildeston Ladies Club enjoyed a beautiful warm summers evening here for a tour of the Mill, Stowmarket Art Club enjoyed a glorious summers day painting the Mill from the front lawns, and the MGSVW club who drove their beautiful vintage MG cars to Kersey Mill and were given a guided tour and refreshments at The Copper Kettle. Our open days have also been well attended during the month. Works to phase 3 of the restoration of Kersey Mill has begun. The Hurst Frame is a heavy wooden farm supporting the gears and three pairs of mill stones. We have discovered evidence of earlier machinery as mortices within the vertical timbers would indicate that the Bridge Trees were once made of timber. We believe that the cast iron Bridge Trees and current machinery was possible installed in 1870 when major works were carried to improve and modernise the mill. A horizontal Lay Shaft runs through the Hurst Frame in a straight line with gearing transferring power to the mill stones via a Wallower and Crown wheel. The majority of the frame is badly decayed and the machinery needs complete overhaul and all the wooden teeth need replacing.
Sometime ago we lost a beautiful Beech tree that was diseased and died. It had spent the past 100 years or so in the vicinity of the mill, We decided that we wanted to try and use some of the timber in the restoration so we called upon the services of Drywood to mill the timber for us.

Booking so far ahead there is always the chance that for whatever reason a speaker cannot make the planned date. If you need a speaker in reserve and more than likely available at very short notice you may like to keep a note and contact details of Brian Wilcox. Brian was until recently the local Area Governor of ToastMasters International.

The 54-bed home in Friars Road, on the edge of Hadleigh, will eventually create employment for more than 50 people. A substantial six-figure sum has been spent on refurbishing the 19th century property ahead of opening. Kingsley’s operations director Debbie McGovern said: “We fell in love with the building as soon as we saw it. This is a wonderful location to offer 24-hour short and long-term nursing, residential and dementia care. “We have wonderful landscaped gardens and excellent views across rolling Suffolk countryside, and yet we are just on the edge of Hadleigh and only a short drive away from Ipswich and Sudbury.” She stressed that it was a completely fresh start for the home under the new ownership of a renowned national provider. She said: “As a company we are passionate in our belief that older people should have the best possible quality of life. Providing first class care will be at the heart of everything we do at Hadleigh Hall. “Our staff treat residents as they would their own family and at all times respect the fact they are individuals with their own needs and preferences. “Our interest in our residents is genuine; we learn from listening, engaging and responding to feedback. Above all else, Hadleigh Hall is our residents’ home.” Operations manager Helen Gosling, who led the development of Kingsley’s acclaimed person-centred approach to dementia care, called WINGS, said: “We are managing Hadleigh Hall in a very special way in that the focus of every member of staff, whatever their job, will be the social needs of the residents.” She said in home manager, Emma Beckett, they had selected someone with vast experience in the care sector and, importantly, someone who shared Kingsley’s values. The home is currently recruiting for a range of positions including support workers and domestics. Kingsley was established in 1999 by Daya Thayan and his wife Sumi with the purchase of their first care home in Lowestoft. Since then the family owned business has grown into a national provider employing 1,600 people and caring for more than 1,100 residents. The company passed an important milestone last summer when staff moved into their new head office, Kingsley House, in the centre of Lowestoft. While planning continued national growth Mr Thayan insists on retaining Kingsley’s family values. “Every home we run must be of a standard that would fitting for my own parents,” he said.

Holiday advice from Hadleigh Osteopaths Whilst away on holiday there is the temptation to lay out on a sun bed to get a tan. If you have a back that is vulnerable, then laying on your tummy for a prolonged period is often a precursor to low back ache. This can be further exacerbated by arching up onto your forearms to read that holiday block buster. If you want to read, consider sitting in the shade to do it, and change position on a regular basis. Laying on your back with your knees slightly bent is better than laying flat out. Most sun loungers are not that supportive! Lots of people return from their travels with a stiff neck or a sore back. This can often be attributed to sleeping in a different bed or using a different pillow. If you are accustomed to using a memory or orthopaedic pillow, why not take it with you? If you are travelling long haul, an aisle seat will give you the opportunity to get up and stretch your legs on a regular basis. This is not only better for your back, but will also help reduce the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We regularly see patients who have returned from holiday with a sore back, but are too sunburnt to touch. Remember to pack your sun cream and apply it regularly. Finally, if you have a bit of a niggle and are thinking of going away soon, why not give us a ring for an appointment to get it sorted before you go on holiday. You can call us on 01473 828585, 07770 746224 or visit our website www.hadleighosteopaths.co.uk

Surviving Winter in Hadleigh and 12 Villages Our second week of distributing free emergency alarm fobs revealed that we needed to explain again in this column the condition of our offer. (It didn't help that the notice on our stall hadn't the space for explanation). However we reached our target of FIFTY fobs given out, this being as much as our funds would permit as we still need to keep a workable balance in our account for our winter charity commitments. We view these alarm fobs as a worthwhile extension of our winter support for those in fuel need, perhaps those that can may like to make a maximum donation of £3. This thought comes about as a result of a chat with someone who already donates his Senior Winter fuel allowance in addition to his other worthy causes. So once again: 1. Any Senior over 65 or on benefit totally free subject to our funds permitting. 2. Disabled citizens are no charge at any time. 3. No group applications of any kind please. For anyone disabled unable to collect fobs may be collected on their behalf. name and village required if out of Hadleigh Town Council boundary. We hope to continue attending the Friday Market and most likely the new Saturday one and alarm fobs would be available from us there or we can be contacted at the numbers below. All takings from attendance at both market's goes into our SWH account and we are grateful for the two market licence holders for their generosity of support. A request and great interest came from a young sixth former at Hadleigh High on behalf of a neighbour, therefore a big well done to Sam Woodward on his initiative. Also a thank you for a donation from a Belgian couple for service rendered in what to see in and around the town on their last week end tour and who only wished that they could exit! If the gent who pointed out a glaring omission on my part relating to two WW1 medals could contact us, we in turn may have some news for him (only may that is). Fred Breyer, Chairman, 829127.

Get together At this time of year, it is not unusual to look up into our big expansive East Anglian skies and see all manner of aircraft passing over and I’m not just talking about people heading off on holiday in the aeroplanes that whisk them away to other countries. It is the time of year for air shows; both rural and coastal and the planes that are flown in them, from the Lancaster to the Spitfire, have a wonderful charm. They bring back memories for some (mixed emotions I am sure from those flown in war) and excite and inspire younger generations with their designs, sounds and the amazing displays that are performed. They always bring back memories for me, but in a different way for they make me think of my Grampa who flew bombers in the war. He flew every type of plane going and was caught up in various adventures both fun and dangerous along the way. But it wasn’t until much too late that I learned of this, or perhaps if I’m honest, took an interest. As children, we adore our grandparents but don’t necessarily see them as real people who had full and vibrant lives before our parents were born, let alone us. They are something special, but different. It isn’t until we are older, adults ourselves, that we want to know more about them. We had a geographical distance that didn’t help; my sister and I in Suffolk and our grandparents in Durham but, with that old rotter called hindsight, I wish I had made more of an effort to get to know my Grampa and what he had got up to before he passed away. I think there is so much each generation can learn from the other and it is important to make the time to converse, socialise and be around people of all ages, not just your peer group. Sadly, it is quite often the case that it isn’t until someone is no longer there, whether passing away, fallings out or just physical distance, that we realise we would like to have known them more. We are lucky in this age of technology that there are all manner of ways we can stay in contact with each other: text, email, Skype, phone – you name it there is something for everyone. But sometimes, you just can’t beat a plain old-fashioned face to face get together and chat.

Hospice’s big, bubbly event is back for 2017 This August St Elizabeth Hospice is bringing back it’s highly popular family event; ’Bubble Rush’! Bubble Rush is a funfilled, foamy 5k walk or run that will see people of all ages getting covered in colourful bubbles this month in aid of the local charity. On Sunday 13 August, hundreds of people will run, walk, dance or skip around a 5km route at Christchurch Park. The route will feature four ‘bubble stations’ which each have different coloured bubble cannons, covering you in safe, frothy foam! Catherine Sheppard, St Elizabeth Hospice’s events and challenges fundraiser, said: “Last year was the hospice’s first ever Bubble Rush and the event was a huge success, with more than 1,500 local people taking part and getting covered in colourful bubbles all for a good cause! “Bubble Rush is an ideal event to take part in with your family, friends or coworkers as it’s fantastically frothy and fun for people of all ages – whether you’re six or sixty!” Registration is now open and this year there is also an option to get the cost of registration back if you fundraise £100 or more St Elizabeth Hospice. All the money raised from St Elizabeth Hospice’s event will go towards improving life for people living with a progressive illness such as cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure. To sign up to be part of the fantastic frothy fun, visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/bubblerush or call 01473 723600.

Strictly Winner at Hadleigh Dinner! There will be something of the glamour of the glitterball at Hadleigh Cricket Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End of Season dinner this year. The club has announced that the guest speaker at the special event in October will be Mark Ramprakash, the former England Test batsman who won BBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strictly Come Dancing in 2006. Ramprakash played 52 Test matches between 1991-2002, and during his career became one of the most prolific run-scorers in English county cricket. He is one of only 25 players in cricket history to score 100 first-class centuries, and achieved the remarkable feat of averaging over 100 in successive seasons for Surrey. He is widely regarded as the most talented English batsman of his generation, and is now the England cricket teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batting coach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rampsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; came to national prominence when he won Strictly with his partner Karen Hardy, following Darren Gough as the second cricketer to win the show and starring in many Strictly tours and TV specials since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted to welcome Mark Ramprakash to Hadleigh for what promises to be a fantastic eveningâ&#x20AC;?, said the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chairman David Mann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ramps is an England cricket legend as well as a Strictly star, so there will be something for everyone! This has been a very special year at Hadleigh Cricket Club, with the completion of Phase 1 of our pavilion extension project, and this event will be a celebration of what we have achieved both on and off the pitch.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that through the success of this event we can raise vital funds for Phase 2 of our pavilion extension project, which includes the building of a new bar, installation of a heating and cooling system, new windows and doors, a disabled ramp and perimeter paving,â&#x20AC;? said Mann. The dinner will take place on Saturday October 14th in a specially erected heated marquee at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friars Road ground. The evening will also include an auction, prize-giving and after-dinner dancing.

News from Layham Village Hall The latest meeting was held on 3 July 2017 - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a busy time for the committee, with the 6 week summer holiday providing a good opportunity to complete some jobs on the job list. Watch this space for some planned upgrades! A reminder that the hall will be out of action for a period of one week between 27th July to 3 August 2017 because the wooden floor is going to be re-sanded and sealed. As a result of the new floor we need to change the chairs / chair feet to minimise scratching. Unable to find anyone locally who needs them, the old chairs will going to a UK charity that sends old educational furniture, like the plastic chairs, over to schools in Congo, Ghana and Mozambique that desperately need them. Over 700,000 tons of educational material like this usually just goes to UK landfill each year - so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping them out of the ground and finding them a worthy home. Next meeting is Monday 4 September 7.30pm if there are anyone has any ideas or suggestions they wish to submit. Bookings are made through Richard Groom on 01473 822220 Hall hire fee is ÂŁ7 an hour.

East Anglian Garden Group The summer social was held in the beautiful gardens of Stoke Priory on a rather damp evening, where our host and hostess, Henry and Victoria Englehart very kindly welcomed us into their home, to shelter from the rain, to eat our supper! The gardens are set in rolling countryside, with wonderful views. Members enjoyed walking through the gardens, and the greenhouse, which housed a host of interesting specimens, some of them planted by Henry’s mother many years ago. Our visit to Cobbs Hall, Great Saxham on 15th July was thankfully, a sunny day. Dr Soper has spent over 30 years creating his garden, where there are two acres of lawns with colourful herbaceous borders, many ornamental trees, large fish and lily ponds. He built a ruined folly, overgrown with rambling roses, and a parterre. The walled kitchen garden was burgeoning with fruit and vegetables, with cucumbers and melons climbing high in the greenhouse. Afterwards we went on to Paugers Nursery at Depden, which is inspirational to visit, as they also have a garden where their plants are shown to great advantage. It is impossible to leave without fully loading ones car with lots of exciting new plants. Apart from the garden holiday in September, we have finished our visits for the summer. Talks at Hitcham village hall resume in the autumn, and next month I will give you a list of forthcoming speakers for the new season. We welcome new members, so please do think about coming along and joining us. Our secretary, Matthew Long can be contacted on 01449 741551 for details, and have a look at the website for more information. eastangliangardengroup.onesuffolk.net
Honour a loved one with hospice’s Sunflower Memories
Telephone 01473 828231 Mobile: 07810 068871
St Elizabeth Hospice is inviting people to dedicate a beautiful sunflower emblem to remember someone special this summer with the return of their Sunflower Memories appeal. The name of loved ones no longer with us will be written on the sunflower emblems which will then be displayed in sunny yellow wheelbarrows in the hospice’s garden in return for a donation. The sunflowers will be on display from Sunday 20 August, and anyone is welcome to come along and see the display of sunflowers and take time to reflect on memories. Pauline Donkin, St Elizabeth Hospice’s fundraising development manager, said: “Once again, this summer, anyone is welcome to make a donation and dedicate a sunflower in memory of a loved one, whether they have been cared for by the hospice or not. “Our glorious garden will host hundreds of little sunflowers, creating a sea of colour, displaying the names of loved ones who are no longer with us. “All the money raised from the donations for the sunflowers will go towards providing vital care and support to more than 2,000 patients and their families every year.” The preview day on Sunday 20 August, will be held at the hospice on 565 Foxhall Road, Ipswich. The sunflowers will remain on display until 31 August 2017 for patients, families, volunteers, staff and visitors to enjoy. The sunflowers will then be available to collect from the hospice reception until 30 September 2017. Last year’s Sunflower Memories appeal raised more than £14,000 and it is hoped that this year will be just as successful. To find out more and to dedicate a sunflower, visit www.stelizabethhospice.org.uk/sunflowers or call 01473 723600

Down to Earth ...with Dave The open gardens day at Chelsworth was, as usual, a very pleasant day out, with many superb gardens open. Bands playing in two of the gardens, not the pub this year, plenty of plant stalls on the green and the highlight - a flying display by a spitfire complete with loop the loops etc. Due to some mobility problems not all the gardens were visited this year, with more time spent sitting listening to the music and drinking coffee. We still managed to buy more plants than we really needed, but so what. Back home in the garden and on the allotment the harvest is in full swing. Runner beans, courgettes, spinach, chard, cauliflowers, tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes in abundance, so far there is no sign of blight on the potatoes or tomatoes. Incidentally, an article in 'Which' gardening claims that it is safe to put diseased leaves such as mildewed courgette leaves and blighted potato and tomato leaves on the compost. Apparently the blight spores need living tissue to survive and they die on the compost heap. Personally I am not so sure and prefer to take such material to the tip. A freshly planted row of cauliflower plug plants was promptly dug up by the mole, not once but twice. Hopefully the little feller has now moved on and the plants seem to have survived their ordeal. The cucumbers growing in the greenhouse are left to ramble as much as they like, unlike the tomatoes and runner beans that are stopped when they reach the top of their cane supports. The tomatoes growing outside are fed twice a week, watered every day and have any side shoots removed as soon as they are seen. It is very easy to miss a side shoot and it can soon take over the plant. I like to remove the lower leaves from the tomato plants, this helps the fruit to ripen. The yellow courgettes are, as usual, cropping very well, with many being given away. If the leaves turn yellow it is not such a problem on the yellow variety. Some spring green seeds have been sown in the greenhouse and they should be ready to plant out in September, probably in the ground recently occupied by the potatoes. Keeping the hanging baskets watered can be a bit of a problem and I recently got told off for missing one. It looked very sorry for itself and no amount of watering with the hose would revive it. The only answer was to lift the very heavy basket down and to plunge the whole thing in a large plastic container. After an overnight soak it fortunately revived and the now even heavier basket was replaced. A lesson learned, and it is now being watered twice a day while it is so hot. Keep dead heading all the flowers as this will give a succession of blooms. The gladioli on the allotment are once again giving some lovely cut flowers for indoors, and I suppose this is a type of dead heading. The more you cut, the more they seem to grow. That's all for this time, Dave

Vintage Event will feature Elsie’s famous taxi An 80-year-old taxi which performed a unique role in a town’s transport history is to make a rare public appearance. Elsie Elliston carried King George V1 and Winston Churchill to hush-hush, war-time engagements in the Sudbury area in her six-cylinder, 16hp Austin taxi. As a riding school owner, she always wore jodhpurs and a riding jacket when driving. Numerous brides were transported to weddings, and many mums-to-be were rushed to hospital in the vehicle. Elsie died more than a quarter of a century ago, but the taxi is still in the ownership of her family. On August 6 her son-in-law Pat Morton shows it at Newton Green Golf Club for a 110th anniversary event. He has never previously shown the car, although it has seen service at a few family celebrations, such as weddings. The old car still has its original engine. It has had one re-bore. Purchased from Mann Eggerton, of Ipswich, in 1936, it has travelled in excess of 500,000 miles – although Elsie reputedly never exceeded 30 mph! It was bought for £301 and was insured in its first year with the Prudential for £17.50. Mr Morton retains the original log book and show room brochure. He said: “It only needs turning over a couple of times for it to start. The family is pleased it has been able to hold on to a vehicle of such historic importance to the Sudbury area. “Elsie took King George V1 from Sudbury railway station to Acton airfield when he came to visit injured servicemen, and carried Winston Churchill when he came to the area during the war.” Mr Morton said the car had also transported a few unusual items in connection with Elsie’s riding stable. Once, she acquired a Shetland pony for her grandson and brought it home tethered in the vehicle’s rear foot well. However, she refused to allow its use in TVs Dad’s Army because she feared it would be damaged. People who had travelled to their weddings or other special occasions in the vehicle would be welcome to visit the show and have their pictures taken with the car. Interviewed for a local history profile in 1992, Elsie said: “I did a lot of driving during the war. I used to drive servicemen back to their bases late at night, and also went up to London a lot. I knew the North Circular like the back of my hand. I’ve just had the one car, and it has done the equivalent of going round the world 25 times. “Every time I came home at night - it might have been raining or snowing - I would wash or wipe it down, and look to see if anyone had dropped a cigarette inside. I did all the maternity jobs in Sudbury because women would prefer to have a woman driver. And I did most of the weddings too – I had some lovely class work.”

August Update! Our practitioners here at Hadleigh Physiotherapy have had a very busy few months out of work from cycling up and climbing mountains to swimming in open waters and they certainly don’t like to make it too easy for themselves! As you would know from last month’s edition of the Hadleigh Community News and Facebook, Will spent the last week of June cycling across the Dolomites in Italy with our mascot Maximus making sure spirits were kept high throughout the ride. We offer Will a huge congratulations for finishing the gruelling Maratona Dolomites race on Sunday 2nd July in an amazing time. On the 8th of July our Sports Masseuse Kerry, took on a challenge of epic proportions and in the dark too! Kerry and Maximus survived the gale force winds, cold conditions and torrential rain of Ben Nevis and whilst they were unable to summit, they reached a staggering 903 metres before visibility was zero and the organisers stopped further hiking. Well done Kerry who managed to raise a great amount of money for the Alzheimer’s Society. If you would like to sponsor her post-event then please visit her link at Just Giving: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kerrywheeler3 Other news for Kerry is that she will be offering from August onwards, both Swedish and Sports Massage appointments at our Martlesham practice on a Tuesday and Thursday morning. On a more community focussed subject, we met with the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance on the 7th of July so that we could work towards becoming a more Dementia Friendly practice. The session was very informative and we look forward to further training later in the year.

Ethiopia has one of the lowest patient to optometrist ratio in the world, with fewer than three qualified optometrists per million! The team at D J Dunstone in Hadleigh are helping Vision Aid Overseas (VAO) to raise money to train and support optometry students and staff at Hawassa University in Ethiopia, to help bring local access to eye tests. Holly Coleman, one of the optometrists at D J Dunstone, spent two weeks examining sight in Ethiopia during May 2017. There she worked with local Kate Rhodes, Optometric Assistant optometrist Mulugeta and has at D J Dunstone seen first-hand the need for eye care and the difference VAO can make with our help. Why Ethiopia? Ethiopia is a rapidly developing country, which is slowly building its healthcare facilities and access to quality and affordable eye care services is scarce. It has a population of almost 100 million people scattered across remote, often hard to reach areas. Why training? VAO believes that if a country is to have sustainable eye care services, it must have skilled staff to do the job. The optometry students will work alongside UK Professional Volunteers on outreach programmes to receive training to improve their practical skills. What you can do? Please consider calling into the Practice at 3 Queen Street and donate ÂŁ1 to VAO towards this campaign. For the month of August 2017 each person making a donation will be invited to put their name into a draw. The winner will receive a ÂŁ75 voucher to spend at D J Dunstone on goods or services. You are also welcome to donate any used spectacles which will be forwarded to VAO. What can the money we raise do? ÂŁ100 can pay for a community outreach team to see 500 people. ÂŁ300 could pay training costs for two weeks for a student or faculty member. ÂŁ9950 could train and support 20 optometry students and 12 faculty staff at Hawassa University College of Health and Medical Sciences to help bring local access to eye tests and glasses to 1.2 million people over the next 20 years. Prize draw: The draw will take place at 5pm on 31 August. We will inform you of the amount raised through these pages and on our website dunstoneinsight.com. The website has information about the Practice team and the services we offer and also has further information regarding the current VAO campaign. We are most fortunate to have access to local high quality eye care in Suffolk. Please contact us on 01473 823755 if you have any questions or would like to make an eye examination appointment. You are welcome call in to view our up-to-date range of spectacle frames and sunglasses (prescription and nonprescription). Our opening times are Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday 9-1 & 2-5 and also Tuesday evenings until 8pm. We have recently refitted the upstairs showroom and so you could take the opportunity to have a look while calling in to make your ÂŁ1 charity donation!

Suffolk Bereavement Support (SBS)I f you are a regular reader you may well have heard about groups run by Suffolk Bereavement Support but you may be wondering what joining a group is like. Taking that first step can be difficult, so I'll try to explain a little more. Group members have a variety of experiences of bereavement. Some have lost a child or grandchild, others a spouse, partner, close friend, or parent. Some members have children, and are helping them to adjust at the same time as trying to do so themselves. Some find an accumulation of past and recent bereavements have taken their toll. These are all familiar scenarios which the group facilitators seek to address. The groups attract interest from quite a wide age range and are open to anyone over the age of 18. New members are most welcome, the themes and support of the groups being applicable to most situations. An evening group is available for those with daytime commitments. Although most members live within the Babergh district some come from further afield to the venues in Hadleigh and Capel St Mary. Groups are free and open to Suffolk residents. The groups offer a safe place to express reactions to loss without fear of being judged and to learn more about the process of bereavement and recovery. For more details please contact Margaret or Patrick Palmer who will be very pleased to help: www.suffolkbereavement.org.uk; sbsg246@gmail.com; 01206 299832. P.S. Look out for more updates in future editions.

I said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be including pictures of The Shelley Show this month, and here they are. You have no idea how hard the human team works to make everything perfect for our riders on the day, and how much primping and perming goes on in the yard. (I saw Alfie having no fewer than THREE shampoos before the show; he looked immaculate on the day.) All the live horses worked hard and did their best. Babs and I saw the riders get changed into their smart clothes and newly cleaned boots in our quiet room.
It was a wonderful end-of year celebration for everyone who comes to us. A huge thank you to the people who made it all happen. The last weeks of term were spent playing games in the arena and hacking out along the quiet roads: no more practising for the show, for once. Now the Centre is closed for the school holidays and the herd is resting. Some of the herd has gone to holiday homes for a change of scene; some members are still here, being exercised by Lynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of able-bodied riders. Babs and I are switched off and locked up but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m planning my next Blog: news of the Dog Show I think. Have a lovely break everyone and see you in September.

Fidelis Activity News St Mary’s Focus Group Members were invited to attend one of several meetings which are organised by the Church with the view to discovering what members of the community would like to see happen to this iconic building in the future. Those who attended not only heard about the plans and hopes for this familiar Hadleigh landmark but also had the opportunity to voice their opinions. An interesting, informative morning for both organisers and visitors alike. The Angel Lunch bunchers visited this well-known watering hole in Lavenham for a summer lunch. It was their first meal there since the current owner, John Raynes, took over in February 2017. He has brought the business back to a traditional style pub by serving tasty pub food in a friendly unpretentious atmosphere. Being a large group, Fidelis diners pre-ordered and food choices varied from a sandwich to a cooked meal. All were happy with their selection especially the delicious desserts. With much in the news there was no shortage of conversation that lunchtime. Ascot, Picnic & Agm Ladies came dressed for Ladies’ Day at Ascot and many sported elegant hats too. Barbara Faulkner, who was senior steward, presided over the ‘course’ and racing stallions. With members as jockeys, a series of noisy races took place punctuated only by Barbara’s commentary and additional historical details about Ascot itself. The Queen’s Gold Cup was presented to Kay Whittle’s table who were worthy winners. Once the winnings had been paid out race goers were able to enjoy a boxed picnic and a well-earned cup of tea, delicately prepared and served by Helen and Charlotte of Angel Delights. The more serious business of the AGM followed, with reports by Chairwoman Liz Wilson, Treasurer Carole Burne and Publicity & Programme Organiser Jan Devey. On Barbara Faulkner behalf of the members, Louise Chambury gave a vote of thanks to the Committee for their hard work throughout the year. The group now looks forward to an interesting programme of speakers and events as it embarks upon its thirteenth year. JD

Sourced Locally Fortnight generates nearly ÂŁ1million for regional economy The East of England Co-op has seen sales of local produce rise to ÂŁ972,050 during its Sourced Locally Fortnight (5th â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 18th June), a 5.9% increase from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. The annual event is held by the Co-op to encourage shoppers to support local businesses by making one swap in their basket for something local. More than 60,000 punnets of local strawberries and nearly 7,000 bunches of asparagus were sold during the fortnight, which comes as the Co-op celebrates a landmark decade of its award-winning Sourced Locally initiative. Roger Grosvenor, Joint Chief Executive at the East of England Co-op, commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In true co-operative spirit, colleagues and producers across the region have come together over the past fortnight to talk about the importance of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shopping localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. That hard work has paid off and the figures speak for themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sourced Locally initiative has gone from strength to strength over the past ten years and we are proud to be keeping money in our regional economy and improving choice for our customers. It has been fantastic to celebrate ten years of Sourced Locally but our heads are now firmly focused on the future and our continued commitment to championing East Anglian produce.â&#x20AC;? Local businesses to benefit from the Co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sourced Locally initiative include Fairfields Farm Crisps, of which 11,560 packets were sold, and St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brewery which sold 4,833 bottles of beer. Helping shoppers make the switch to local was a special â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ham, egg and chipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meal promotion, with Taste of Suffolk Sandwich Ham, Havensfield Eggs and potatoes from farms across the region available for ÂŁ5. Throughout the fortnight, producers visited East of England Co-op food stores to showcase their produce and offer samples. Sourced Locally was created by the East of England Co-op in 2007 to support local producers and has since ploughed ÂŁ57 million back into the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. The Co-op marked the pivotal anniversary of Sourced Locally by bringing together ten of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top producers for an iconic portrait by award-winning photographer Jenny Lewis. The all-female shot was commissioned to celebrate the ten inspiring women who are helping to lead the future of food and drink production.

Discovering the roots of a big hitting victorian batsman The discovery of a tankard presented to a cricketer more than a century ago has led to the uncovering of 300 years of his family’s history. Farmer William “Slogger” Hart was a big hitting batsman, but nearing the end of his cricketing career when marrying for the first time at the age of 45. His fellow members of Sudbury Cricket Club marked the occasion by giving him a sold silver tankard, which has recently returned to the club’s ownership. Initial inquiries into the life of William Allen Hart revealed his association with life in the Boxford area, the home of cricket club supporter Roger Prosser. Having written an extensive document based on the genealogy of his own family, he decided to investigate the life of Hart – and finished up delving back to 1701. The family line stretched as far away as Scotland and Ireland, and is now all included in a 32-page book written by Roger and published by the cricket club. Hart’s career as a Sudbury cricketer, and his family background which led him to leave Scotland as a young man to help his uncle farm at Edwardstone, are covered in the publication now on sale through the club for £5. Roger has also traced Hart’s surviving family, with particular help coming from his great grandson now living in Spain. The author admits the publication is considerably larger than was imagined when he started his investigations, which included the discovery that Hart was also an inventor, having patented the design for a paddle boat in 1902. Roger added: “I confess the outcome of the urge to know more of the history of a simple tankard has exceeded the imagination of the cricket club’s original expectations, but once started, a trail has to be followed!” Club chairman, Louis Brooks, added: “The club has produced a number of significant works on its history in recent times, and Roger Prosser’s work represents an important addition to our previous knowledge.”

Jed Seeley retains his Newton Title Jed Seeley has retained the Newton Green Golf Club championship title with a level par score in the 36-hole event. Scratch golfer Seeley holds the course record at 63 for 18 holes, and had a one over par on 70 in his morning round. The round had started with five birdies in seven holes. His course record looked in danger, but Seeley could not keep up the blistering opening. Close behind him in the morning by one shot was Simon Bearman, but he slipped to a 74 after lunch, while Seeley was recording a one under second round 68. Former champion Russell Oakey, who had scored 74 in the morning, came home with a one under par 68 in the afternoon for second place, which allowed him to edge out Bearman by one shot. Scores: 138 Jed Seeley, 144 Russell Oakey, 145 Simon Bearman, 147 James Cooper, 149 Tom King, 153 Ian Woodhead, 154 Max Hemson, 158 BenTatum, 165 Kieron Sorrell.
Residents no longer out of bounds on new golf holes Residents of a Suffolk village are achieving a new deal that gives them access to parts of a local golf course that have previously been “out of bounds.” A new Villager Plus membership has been agreed between trustees responsible for a 44 acre green forming part of the 18-hole Newton Green Golf Club. Residents can play the long-established holes on the village green for free, but have to pay if they want to swing their way round the remaining 80-acres, which were developed 25 years ago on land leased for 125 years from farmer and club president Michael Oliver. The golf club has been using the green side of the course for 110 years, and for several decades paid residents a bag of coal per household as rent. The formation of a trust a few years ago reinforced proper monetary payments. As part of latest negotiations, the club is increasing its contributions to the trust, and the parties have agreed on the new Villager Plus membership. Residents will pay half the prevailing seven-day membership fee to play all 18 holes, although access to the new side of the course will have restrictions. Play will be available from 12.30 pm on Saturdays and 10.30 am other times. Free golf for residents continues on the village green holes. Peter Philpott, club chairman, said “If the village players wish to gain handicaps, play in competitions and have voting rights they will have to become full members – and many already do. Village users will continue to enjoy all amenities offered by the club. “To gain Villager Plus status, residents effectively have to pay £377, and the club will be sharing half that figure with the trust administering the green, which means both the club and the village benefits.” A condition of Villager Plus membership means taking part in an introductory, one hour, off-course session with club professional Tim Cooper.

Lady Captain’s Day – 6th July 2017 Thursday, 6th July was Lady Captain’s Day at Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club. There was a question mark over what the weather was going to do as storms had been forecast but after a few spots of rain the sky cleared and a lovely warm sunny day was enjoyed. Ladies’ Captain, Anne Hemmings arrived in style on her decorated buggy. Her them for the day was Horse and Hound, bright colours and bling. The ladies greeted her in the usual style of her walking through a line of them, usually holding a golf club although on this occasion many held riding crops. The ladies played an 18 holes golf competition which Anne had chosen. They played in teams of four with a reverse waltz on the front 9, three scores, two scores one score to count, then they all had a yellow ball for the back 9 Stableford where the yellow ball counted for double points. Vouchers were sold at the sign in and when presented to him, golf professional Josh hit the ladies shot over the 10thGainsborough lake onto the green for them. He only missed two shots all day, one from behind trees and another which was a yellow ball which hit a tree and bounced back into the water. Well done Josh. The halfway hut was manned by Anne and her husband, Brian, where tasty treats, savoury and sweet were on offer to the hungry golfers after they played their first 9 holes. Everyone then enjoyed a meal, followed by speeches and gifts given to Anne from the Ladies Section of an autograph book signed by them all, white gold earring and a silver cross and chain. A fun award was given to Betty Cox as best costumewith her doggy nose and ears she looked every inch the canine buddy. A gift of a tube of golf balls was also given to Mal Went and Janet Hodge who had managed to play to the 5thround of the Daily Mail Foursomes, no mean feat. As a surprise, Anne then presented an Oscar to the cast of Cinderella, the pantomime presented to the ladies at Christmas. The panto had, had everyone in fits of laughter at Christmastime and Anne felt something to remember it by was most appropriate. Diana Harris, Lady Vets Captain who played Cinderella was on holiday but had sent a ‘thank you’ speech in true Hollywood style with hoards of ‘thank you’s’ of her own which also caused much laughter at Thursday’s event. Anne and Diana’s charity, Suffolk MIND, raised well over £200 on the day through vouchers for Josh hitting over the lake and a Voucher from another club for a team of golfers.
